5:02 am
this hour of cnn this morning starts. now >> a critical moment for us, israeli relations for the first time, you i see is calling for a temporary ceasefire in gaza in a un draft resolution which cnn has seen the us calls for a temporary cease-fire, but only as soon as practicable it comes as security council will vote today on l'jarius resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. but the us is threatening a veto. the same way it has with the first two ceasefire resolution now the us draft also calls for the release of all remaining israeli hostages. it will be privately discussed today, but it's unclear when it will be put to a vote. meanwhile, president biden is ramping up pressure on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. biden is urging him not to proceed with a controversial
5:03 am
plan ground operation in the southern gaza town of rafah without a plan of safety for the more than 1 million people living there. but israel, it's raising the stakes and moving up the deadline for the offensive to the start of ramadan it's around march 10th. they say they'll do this unless all hostages are freed of guard to cnn's nic robertson, who is live in tel aviv with the latest nick, what are you learning? >> yeah, i think there were two takeaways here. one is that at a diplomatic level, the united states comes to the rescue. our prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that's certainly how hill read the situation despite the very clear pressure being put on him. a by the white house with the wording of this resolution, why do i say? because in essence, the united states is heading off or providing an alternative resolution to the one that algeria is putting forward, which has wide international support for an immediate ceasefire. the prime minister here hasn't responded to the
5:04 am
publicly yet, at least to the us version, but the us especially is still very, very clear as has the conditions right now for a military incursion into rafah would quite literally result in more civilian deaths, potentially push people across the border we can international security and peace of certainly in the region around here. so it's weird very high levels of caution and guidance for the israeli government but the prime minister here is likely to read this as he is being given more time because the wording from the united states is not a permanent ceasefire and it says, when it is practicably possible also, there's been some reporting about a new video released by the israeli defense force. can you talk about what has been released and what we've heard in terms of reaction the reaction from the family
5:05 am
involved is absolutely >> heart rending. the video that was released by the idf is from october the seventh and it shows cheri, the mother, with her ten month-old child can fear and her four month a four year old daughter, ariel, being taken out of one vehicle, hamas vehicle at what the idf describes as, a hamas point and bundling them into another vehicle. it's the first video we've seen of them since video emerged of them actually being abducted. but a lot of people remember back in november, their father yard dan, who was also taken hostage separately by hamas was in a video saying that hamas had told him that. that is wife and children had been killed. it was very emotional video against the government here. there's been no evidence so far that that that the mother cheri and the
5:06 am
two children were killed but the family today had an absolutely heart rending press conference saying that their hearts, we're were toll on an appealing for people to return their loved ones thank robertson reporting to us from tel aviv. thank you new this morning, alexei navalny's mother pleading with vladimir putin to immediately hand over her son's body. she released a video standing outside this iberian prison where navalny died, asking putin directly to let her finally see her son and bury him >> navalny seems as the russian government is refusing to release his body for at least a couple of weeks to conduct some sort of chemical examination of all these wife is speculating her husband may have been poisoned again with nerve agent this morning, the kremlin is firing back and calling her accusations absolutely unfounded. and this just in russian media is reporting that the kremlin has opened a criminal case against
5:07 am
navalny's brother. it did not say what crime had been committed cnn's melissa bell is with us now. what are we hearing specifically from navalny's mother in this message to putin >> but it's a remarkable video and you have to bear in mind the extraordinary lengths this nearly seven-year old woman has been to to be able to get this message out to the world directly. challenging russian authorities. she standing some 2000 kilometers northeast of moscow in the frigid, cold surrounds that penal colony. one of the harshest in russia, where alexey navalny took his last breaths and it was released a short while ago. this is what she had to say my spina hoods behind me is the ik three polar wolf colony where my son, alexei navalny died >> on february 16. i haven't been able to see him for five days. they won't give me his body they don't even tell me where he is. i'm addressing
5:08 am
you, vladimir putin, the solution to the issue depends only on you. >> just let >> me finally see my sunday i demand that alex's body be immediately handed over. that i can bury him humanely >> there'll be a mug >> you'd mila navalnaya standing there defiantly in a climate that has been increasingly repressive. remember that over the course of the weekend on an already what we saw was hundreds of people who'd come out out to try and deposit flowers, lay there, tributes to alexey navalny being arrested, rounded up, and not allowed to openly grief in her words, all the more remarkably defined and courageous. and i think what we've heard from her, but also from alexei navalny's widow this morning on x before her account was apparently this activated. we're waiting to hear more on that. we've reached out to x, try and figure out what's going on there. >> but before that happened, we'd heard >> her again urging the kremlin to release her husband's body after we'd heard dmitry peskov, the kremlin spokesman deny that
5:09 am
there was anything on toward and suggests that they hadn't seen neither he nor the russians in president. the video that yulia navalnaya had released yesterday, looking for more than she had before determined to take center stage and continue this fight to try and get her husband's body back and more answers than have been forthcoming from the kremlin, john odes. >> all right, melissa bell. thank you. and you did hear melissa correctly? there >> the wife of >> alexei navalny just had her twitter account or x account, whatever we like to call a now suspended, which is peculiar to say the least, right? >> and those videos are messages have been distributed through lots of social media platform. so it's insignificant. >> she's been speaking out against the death of her husband, speaking out again repression inside russia. and for some reason, x has now suspended her account. it has been four days since alexey navalny's death. a donald trump has yet to condemn russia or its president vladimir putin. instead, trump has
5:10 am
compared navalny's death to his own legal problems. now the republican front runner has also landed they knew endorsement from one of putin's closest allies in europe, hungarian prime minister viktor orban, something trump touted on truth, social, yesterday i'm for hot to marsh orthogonal clotel star show you the nodule for at name for do not >> ongoing sort of warm embrace of orban in particular. why is that? why have we been seeing that the last couple of months, not just by trump, but within the party. >> well, donald trump has always had sympathy for strongmen. we've seen him praise putin. he's had this affection for viktor orban, who, which goes beyond trump. there's this fascination and part of the american right cpac has hosted viktor orban. they see him as sort of this
5:11 am
christian nationalist who's taking hungry that direction. the reality is this. this is a man who has tried to block aid from the eu to you crane finally had to give in on that, tried to block sweden's membership. and i think the fascination probably comes much more from a place of siding with russia against, against ukraine in this war effort this, this is, donald trump is very much cut from the same cloth as viktor orban. it's this strong man-type way of leading. the way the rhetoric that he uses, the way that he appeals to his audience is very similar. and i'm not surprised in any way that both this endorsement came and he was proud to tout it. >> so we said john bolton on last hour in one of the things that ambassador bolton says, is that in his mind, don't trump doesn't have any views per say, except that i'm going to do what's good for donald trump. so when it comes to his reluctance to say anything about alexey navalny's death. why is that good for donald trump? >> well, it's not good for him. i slightly disagree with john bolton here. i do think he doesn't have core policy viewpoints. i don't know that
5:12 am
i think he has a strong moral compass and in any manner really, but he is drawn to personalities and he's drawn to people who he likes the way they speak. he like that's the way they lead and they present. and again, that is why he liked strong men. he praises g, he praises kim jong un. he sees them as strong leaders who challenge their people and try to rule with an iron fist that does resonate with them. i think that this comes down to the fact he's always hesitated to criticize the kremlin. he's always hesitated to criticize putin in this goes bit deeper. there is a brain rot in a moral rot on some of the american right, right now, when you see someone like newt gingrich, a former speaker of the house, somebody who would have been a huge nato proponents, basically comparing alexey navalny's death to the persecution of donald trump. we are very far god, where's the zeldin. they're appealing to because you talked about rhetoric. a lot of these strong men, as you say, they go after their opposition as we see with putin, with deadly consequences, there's also shutting down their borders. there's, there's like policy things that somehow seemed to
5:13 am
appeal. there's the sort of >> non-interventionist america first, we don't want to be getting into these global conflicts. >> i was thinking of tucker your calls and talking about the clean subways, right in when he was fascinated to know that you could pay for a shopping cart. i prefer pay for my shop, but this kind of preoccupation with order and that they think order comes from different countries. >> i think it's a mixture of that and i think it's this non-interventionist. we shouldn't be engaging in world affairs, but let's keep in mind too, we know the russian playbook for decades, russia has been sowing misinformation in the us political discourse. they've been weaponizing social media in the digital space. we live in the democratization of media. and there's a significant portion of the american right who was falling for putin's propaganda every day. and in the trump era, he's amplified it. he's made it stronger and there is to quote, live let's cheney there as the kremlin wing, the putin wing of the republican party. and we have to have our eyes open to it when ukraine's heading into the spring counter offensive, the fact that we might not be able to get aid package through. this should be a five alarm fire moment for both the us, but the republican
5:14 am
party. >> how about the fact that alexey navalny's would you just had her account suspended by twitter? we don't know what's going on here. >> but man, it's been incredibly curious because elon musk has at times shown some sympathy to some more pro russian anti-ukraine position is outed himself as a free speech advocate. and that's tends to be the most bizarre part of all of this. >> that doesn't. >> if you're free speech, would you be suspending? this account? maybe there's a disconnect and his own thinking and consistencies there. is that what you're suggesting just now g jails and nation pia, you know, i think it's interesting thinking about how the party has reached this place and where does that leave? and nikki haley, right. who you if you had some camps, the liz cheney, the john bolton, i feel like they're the ghost of neocons what, what does it mean for them and who would vote or do they have left to appeal to? well, listen, it's donald trump trump's party, but there was a part of the american middle on that feels completely politically
5:15 am
displaced. i think there's a lot of folks there's a probably over 25% of the american right? that would have a very hard time being with donald trump. i think nikki haley is going to stay as long as she can. she's announced dates and michigan going forward. so thinking beyond south carolina, thinking ahead to super tuesday and beyond i think it's to say donald trump cannot win so long as she can hold onto that 25% who can't be with him, she is trying to sound a five-alarm fire to the party that this is a man who was not a majority party candidate. this is not somebody who's going to win a general election but we also have to realize we have an election system that comes down to seven swing states. so in fact, he can win even if he loses the popular vote by the biggest margin in history. >> all right, alyssa, thanks so much. it was great detail. appreciate it. now, congress this week is on recess of courses funding for ukraine hangs in the balance. international leaders ramp up their pressure on the house i'll speaker mike johnson to push the package through vegas well you've sin city sunday at

5:20 am
>> so i know it must be hard to enjoy this recess while everyone's pointing out that you shouldn't be on it. what kind of pressure is there for the congress to act? well, i >> really wish we were back there tackling this. i mean, this is truly a five alarm fire and i've getting close to the second anniversary of this conflict ukraine really nieces, but europe needs is, i think that the world, it says so much rides on this. the european economy, our economy and the future of nato, of course, was it a mistake to put ukraine, israel, taiwan, all in one package? >> i thought it was a mistake to settle. it. would immigration, immigration republicans had called requires a separate discussion, but we see bill now that has $60 billion for ukraine, 14 for israel, some help and yes, under 10 billion for gaza so this is what we need to do, is about $95 billion. and it was bipartisan senate which is
5:21 am
difficult to do to begin with. but two rejected before you even read it, i think is malpractice. >> we've heard from people in europe using the phrase discharge petition, like they understand what it means when most of american don't understand what it means that basically if you get enough signatures you can get this bill on the floor. do you have republicans who are willing to sign up? >> they got a call from their political boss and he told them not to do it. and this is where we are. this this is the state of politics. they got a call from trump and he's their political boss and he's running the equivalent of a tammany hall and washington. >> and so >> we're very concerned that he's dictating to them what to do. the american people see right through this. they saw this in new york. and when we had the recent election, saw suozzi win and we'll continue to win those seats because the american people want some level of resolution to these conflicts. >> should democrats though, be
5:22 am
concerned about the conversation around immigration is gaining steam with voters? we found that president biden is actually leading democrats to embrace kind of tougher policies, right then he originally, in a way campaigned on how are you thinking about this now, we'll >> look, everyone agrees that immigration is broken. everyone agrees that the border, these fixing president biden has done all he could he put forward a parole program, a family reunification program, very early on, we saw the numbers tamed down a little bit. and now he agreed on a piece of legislation and includes some of the toughest border security measures promoted by the republicans who then went ahead and voted against it so he's done all his he could the republicans were involved in this bogus impeachment process of mayorcas trying to play out a perception of immigration, that it is now in fact, immigration has been around
5:23 am
since the reagan years. reagan did things sounded george bush and his son george w bush did legislation. and so he's been dragging for decades and they tried to place it at the doorstep. da majorkas during a bogus impeachment process, which firstly had no votes vote. and then they barely passed by one vote. so this is where they're at. they're weaponizing immigration. they want to see if they can get votes for it. but what we saw a long island this a couple of weeks ago, is that the american people don't want the politics of division they want a resolution to the problem asked you think there's any executive action that president biden can take prior to the state of the union on immigration. there's some reporting that is being considered. >> i would like to see some balanced approach to immigration, maybe something on dreamers and border security. i'm a part of the dignity act, which is a bipartisan legislation were reported public in and democrats that had immigration reform components to it and border security company thinks that i may not agree with.
5:24 am
>> but >> you can't have it all in this discussion. you got to reach consensus. the dignity act is a good step forward. >> one more thing. there are now 67,000 migrants under new york city's care. more than 107 73,000 migrants have arrived in new york city since spring 2022. that's according to a city hall spokesperson. what do you actually hearing from voters in your district who are frustrated by this? >> first, the word permanent i think is the solution to that people want to work that's the bottom line. immigrants want to work and the economy needs them. but i think that we should step up and gibbs cities across the country, $3 billion. they need that. >> but the mayor, pretty harsh on the administration. well, the mayor has asked for what the city knees would just funding to advert a budget crisis we need money for housing, we need money for food i think is more around $3 billion as opposed to $1.4 billion, which is what the white house is advocating for or ask you before we let you go here, received italy, member of
5:25 am
congress or michigan is urging voters there to vote uncommitted in the democratic primary, which president biden is running in to show opposition to president biden over his handling of the israeli war with hamas. how do you feel about disagree? >> i think the option is a very dark option that's donald trump. so what do you tell voters? the vote against biden and as a result, elect trump, who implemented the muslim ban as his first piece of action when he first got elected. i think is misguided and it's a mistake. >> arson. thank you very much for being with us this morning. appreciate it. >> now, on the republican side, nikki haley is keeping hope alive, heading into the south carolina primary, but poll numbers tell a different story. we're going to talk about the state of her campaign with former arkansas governor asr judson and jimmy kimmel being sued by former congressman george santos for allegedly deceiving him into creating cameo videos santos join cameo

5:30 am
for deep penetrating relief absorbing junior pro, nothing numbs pain more >> erin burnett outfront tonight at seven on cnn on saturday we had to the polls. and when we head to the polls, let's look at what everybody's saying everybody's telling me why don't you just get out i will never give up thank you, hayley rebuffing calls for her to drop out of the republican primary race, despite trailing far behind donald trump >> in most recent polls, including a winthrop university survey that has him at a whopping 36 points ahead in south carolina. of course, her home state. now, today she's in greenville to give a state of the race speech at noon. but
5:31 am
with just four days until the south carolina primary time is running out. so joining us now is aides as a hutchinson, he was the republican governor of arkansas and also ended his presidential run just last month, he has endorsed haley so governor you at one point had to walk away from a race. we heard that governor former governor haley saying she won't walk away from this one. so how should she spend time in the species planning to give today >> well i think it is important that she convey that she's in this to the finish, that she's going to go on to super tuesday. she ought to be outlining her schedule, which is public, but go into michigan, going to texas, that tells a story that its south carolina is the first step to a long march in this campaign people want to know that she's going to stick with it. and i encourage her that way. i think it's very important for her voice to stay there through
5:32 am
this primary campaign this is unpredictable. what's going to happen? and even though she might not win in her home state of south carolina, i think people understand the dynamics. she needs to show strength there. she needs to beat expectations and move on to super tuesday. and she needs to showcase her her staying power and the race and she's has the right message. and whatever you look at donald trump, converting the republican party into the trump party, you're seeing what a presidency under donald trump would be like four years of not being concerned about the dissident leader, but could been concerned about himself you know, it's interesting because in the first debate, haley was one of the candidates who actually raised her hand, saying that she would >> support trump as the nominee. so even as we're hearing these sort of sharper arguments for her in the back of my mind is this idea that she said she would support him even if he was a convicted
5:33 am
felon. now, speaking cnn on sunday xi again, refused she refused to make that same commitment >> well, first of all, i think you have to look at the fact that you can't look at joe biden and think that he is in good in a good mental stable state to be able to lead this it's contrary. we can look at him from two years ago. he's very different than it was two years ago. he's mentally diminished. i think trump is mentally diminished. you can talk and give me scenarios all day long. i am trying to defeat both of those men because we need a new generational leader. >> so both of them calling trump also mentally diminished. do you think she's changed her mind about supporting him as the nominee? and were you on that question? >> well, i've said i'm not going to support anyone who's a convicted felon as the nominee of our party. and that's why
5:34 am
i'm fighting for an alternative to donald trump. that's twine. nikki haley is in this race. and of course, anybody who's seeking to be the nominee, the party party has to look forward and say, we've got to come together to beat joe biden in the fall. and so she's trying to set the stage for that. she's been as tough as nails in regard to donald trump. and she's keeping our options open for the future. i think that's important. and that's a balance that she's got to maintain right now. she's got to be able to bring the party together, get those trump supporters. in the event that he starts diminish in his support, which i think will happen. >> people talk about that happening. it would given this legal situation, but she also said that she would pardon trump if he were convicted. and one of his many legal cases do you support that idea? and it's it's something that people have to keep in the back of their mind >> now, i don't like getting into pardon discussions during
5:35 am
the middle of a political campaign. again, she's simply trying to showcase that she can bring people together. she can have some healing ointment on a nation. and so you've got to give her that even though i would reach as certainly a different conclusion and not discuss that during the campaign, these are serious charges that are brought brought some are political, some are very meritorious, but he brought this on himself. he's not the victim that he tries to portray himself to be and to compare himself with navalny whose, who has been a martyr for the cause of freedom in russia and to put it, make it about trump and not about the cause of freedom. really showcases what a tough four years it'd be like if he was president >> same theme here, but to a lesser extent, i want to ask you a last question about the fact that donald trump has endorsed his daughter-in-law
5:36 am
lera trump, to co-chair the rnc. here's a preview of her plans if elected >> if i'm elected to this position, i can assure you there will not be any more $70,000 or whatever exorbitant amount of money was spent on flowers, every single penny will go to the number one on and the only job of the rnc that is electing donald j. trump as president of the united states >> you've been in this party a long time. what do you see in this moment where his effectively family member takes control? >> well, i have been in the party long time. i was on the republican national committee. and it's those members that will make the decision on the future leadership of the party. donald trump can make his recommendations, but his up to those committee members. and what i've said is most important and that is that donald trump should not have his legal fees and his judgments paid by the rnc you talk about flowers, but how
5:37 am

5:42 am
it's very important so some donald trump's supporters seem to believe that taylor swift is part of a covert government operation to help president biden win reelection. cnn, senior data reporter, harry enten is here. >> when we say >> some supporters, like, how many people actually believe this? >> yeah, how >> many people actually believe this? none butter, butter conspiracy theory. so all right, a covert government effort for taylor swift to help biden when it's just 18% of the public, 73% say no, we don't believe this but take a look on the republican side, nearly a third of republicans believe this cuckoo for cocoa puffs conspiracy theory that somehow there's a covert government effort that for taylor swift to help biden when my goodness gracious, although i will point out that the majority of republicans say no, there is not. i want to put this into some context in terms of other conspiracy theories. all right, so concerts, conspiracy theory, belief 18%
5:43 am
none of the public believes the swift, the covert swift operation, my goodness, gracious >> faking the moon landing. the moon landing was fake by nasa at 12%, the earth is flat at 10% x sort of call these the mendoza line of conspiracy theories. if you're getting above that, then maybe, you know, there are a few more people than probably should believe a conspiracy theory so slightly more on the covert swift conspiracy theory, but not much in the truth is all these 3 belong together because these are nutter butter types of stuff. >> you also say cuckoo for-cocoa-puffs. is there a difference they know that is delicious in my mind >> but the thing is that she has endorsed biden in the past, right? she has come out in the tennessee senate race in the past is not like she's not political. what do you see going on here? >> yeah. i think there's this real question about whether if you tie yourself to taylor swift will at somehow be bad for you and you know, there was no person or organization that tied themselves more to taylor swift than the nfl. so i want you to take a look at these super bowl ratings. and this is
5:44 am
the growth from 2023 to 2024. look at this. females 18, the 24, a core swift demographic, the ratings were up 24%, females 12 to 17, up 11%. that is all more than the overall viewers at 6%. so it seemed very clear to me that the nfl knew it, it was doing thing by tying themselves to taylor swift and more than that, is there any potential for a backlash that's what john was asking me just before we went on the air. so i want you to take a look here. football fans on taylor swift mostly positive for the nfl 71% of those hardcore nfl fans such as myself, said that taylor swift had a mostly positive impact on the nfl just 25% said mostly negative. so the fact is, if you tie yourself to taylor swift, there really isn't much of a downside except perhaps that you bring in some of these nutter butter folks who believe in these cuckoo for-cocoa-puffs conspiracy theory is that in the data, like a top line or does it just say nutter butter? >> how does it actually if you look deepen the cross tabs, you can find loss tabs.

>> shocking wow, i've never seen that was president biden and monitoring house republicans directly for their failure to pass critical aid to ukraine and other allies before heading home for this >> two-week break that they're on, the war in ukraine rages on as russia has made critical gains, capturing the eastern town of avdiivka and pushing back into the donetsk region, attempting to regained territory lost to the ukrainian military. >> now over the weekend, the white house blamed russia is gains squarely on quote, congressional inaction, saying lawmakers failed to supply ukraine with the supplies necessary to defend itself joining us now is cnn chief international anchor christiane amanpour, who actually just spoke with ukrainian foreign minister sir dmytro kuleba. now, christiane, what stood out to you from that interview >> well, it was really blunt. foreign minister kuleba said, much of what you just reported in characterized president biden of saying he essentially
5:51 am
said, this is practically a quote that i've defka would could not have fallen had the ammunition being delivered. that is a direct quote, and that is what everybody here is feeling. they feel that the slowness of this bill is showing up every day, every second, every minute, and in every life on the front, i did ask the foreign minister many other questions. here's a little bit of what he said about what they hope will eventually be a reopening of that pipeline >> people have to understand one simple thing. adopting the law is important, but delivering stuff to the frontline takes time and while this decision is still pending, and then add logistics, all of this time, our soldiers will be sacrificing their lives at the frontline holding up against an overwhelming force of russia. they are making miracles and they must be credited for that. but the reason they have to sacrifice themselves and die is
5:52 am
because someone is still debating a decision >> and while that debate is underway, we know and the foreign minister confirm that the russians are pushing even further north. the second largest city, kharkiv here in ukraine is again, feeling the initial probes of russia trying to retake that big city. and that would be a major, major calamity. we've been to grounds. we've been to hospitals, we've been to graveyards, and everyone has told us we don't have enough weapons right now. we are literally fighting off a much heavily armed armed enemy with quote, assault rifles are with our bodies. we just don't have all the ammunition and artillery that we need. so this is a very real problem here on the second anniversary in three, a few days, that's going to be the second anniversary. and some are saying that it feels on the front today, what it felt like two years ago when
5:53 am
russia first invaded and before, ukrainian allies started pumping weapons into them. so it's a very, very tenuous moment and there's a huge amount of anxiety here. >> do they think it's a >> us problem? do they blame the west? do they blame? republicans in congress? and how frustrating is it for them to be losing cities or the congress is on a two-week recess well it's just horrible because we're talking about thousands of dead and tens of thousands of wounded. and of course, huge casualties. on the other side as well. but they are one sort of anecdote was that as the in the trenches, some soldiers are scrolling through their phones as long as they've got charged to see in the progress of this debate in washington that was last week before they went off on this break. and of course, we were adm unique with all the leaders i spoke to president zelenskyy, the head of nato, prime minister kallas of estonia, which is a frontline baltic
5:54 am
state. and they're all very, very frustrated essentially with the wing, whoever it is, the wing of any party that is holding this up because they say, look, this is not charity, this is an investment in your security and notably, it is an investment in you not having to fight off russia because we're doing it, we just need the help to do it. and so many people have told me, even in the two days that i've been here, that this is not just ordered three people. this is not just about ukraine, it is about the battle for freedom, for democracy between the west and russia. and ukraine is the battlefield. and we're fighting this battle. so unless you want to send your sons and daughters we need to be helped. unless we want to live in russia dominated europe, we need to be held. so that's the general feeling. that's happening right now here. >> do you get the sense this has strengthened the position of ukraine's leader, zelenskyy, that he has gotten more attention commitment from european leaders you know, i
5:55 am
don't about strengthening or weakening his position. i do know that europe has stepped up and did when the 60 billion plus usa bill was held up a few weeks ago, the european stepped in with something like 50 billion, a lot of that went to help pay just to keep the state alive and to kill the government alive. they're still waiting for the ammunition, but i will say on stage in munich, i did speak to the republican senator pete ricketts of nebraska, and he had voted against the senate version of this bill, but he told secretary general he, he told all of us on stage. he felt that america would do quote unquote the right thing. he said, democracy is messy. we have an issue with our border. he just wouldn't stop talking about the border and that frustrated some people. but he said you know, to paraphrase winston churchill, the americans end up doing the right thing after they've exhausted all other possibilities. so he gave gave the impression that it might happen
