>> and here's where we start. donald trump and nikki haley getting ready to blitz south carolina. and the final day before the state's pivotal primary, this could be the final blow for haley's campaign with trump dominating the polls in our home state. but haley is adamant she is staying in this race to lianne >> i know you're all here because you want to see america turn in a different direction. the only way we can do that is if we win a general election >> and the >> problem is donald trump can't win a general election >> now, as for the republican front runner and former president, he's getting a little bit agitated over haley's refusal to drop out. i think that's fair to say. here's what he told her radio session in south carolina yesterday. >> well, i guess she's got an ego or something. i'm not a big fan of hers. she's doing very
5:02 am
bad things for the republican party. i don't care at this point if she says that she's getting very few votes jeff zeleny starts us off live and lovely charleston, south carolina. jeff, i feel like i said this at every state you're in, but you have some really solid expertise reporting in the state of south carolina. what are you watching for here given where the polls are heading into tomorrow? >> hey, phil, good morning. i mean, nikki haley certainly is hoping for a stronger than expected showing what that means. basically is trying to close the gap that really exists in these polls. in some polls, it's by 30 points or so, her metric back in new hampshire when she won 43% of the vote was to improve state-by-state, that could be a tall order here in south carolina, but she is thinking long-term, try and get some republicans to think about that general election matchup. but even as she vows to stay in the race here, perhaps a better question is what her supporters may do if she doesn't
5:03 am
>> i am not going anywhere >> for supporters of nikki haley, her defiant pledge is music to their ears. >> i think she should stay in until the very last seconds. i really do. i do not think that we should acquiesce suri rich now sees haley is not merely the best choice, but perhaps the only choice in the race for the white house if she's not the republican nominee, what do you do? >> i may not vote >> you may not vote for president right? >> because i don't think either choice is good. at that point. >> the sun is setting on the republican primary and on haley's chances of catching donald trump before the early state delegate contests becomes a nationwide sprint. >> don't complain about what happens in a general election. and if you don't go out and vote in this primary, it matters. >> should she not deliver a south carolina surprise on saturday, her supporters face a decision many would prefer not to discuss. us loud. >> we need a president. it's going to protect our democracy.
5:04 am
not one that's going to give it away to the russian and in murder, you hookah are pulling for haley, but bracing for the general election ahead come november, what do you guys do >> when we moved to canada? >> you're down at two choices you take the lesser of the truly loved the two there was that in your world, it's gotta be biden if it's, if it's trump and it's got to be buying. >> south carolina has long been trump country. we've never lost here. we never lost on the final day of early voting here, porter and linda baldwin proudly cast their ballots for the former president, where trump people. haley was a fine governor. they said, but her pointed criticism of trump has soured their view is a waste of time and money, and i think they're using her she's being used. >> i think she needs to step down >> senator tim scott, who cast his early vote for trump, told us a prolonged haley candidacy was not good for the party or
5:05 am
country. >> the one person has sands in a way of having a conversation between joe biden and donald trump is nikki haley. and so getting out of the way, he is incredibly important. >> don lassie, a marine veteran, sees it differently. >> any vote for donald trump, because a vote for putin he's a lifelong republican, voted for richard nixon. i voted for walrus, have voted to john became a vote to put nick romney i'll voted for george h bush. >> i like >> republicans, but i like mostly honest republicans, and believes trump will become more vulnerable as the campaign goes on. given as legal and foreign policy challenges if haley doesn't prevail, he's already weighing his options. >> lesser of two, he will visit either candidate for biden. i would like to pick kennedy, but i'm not sure he will be well, i will go by haley as an
5:06 am
aggressive campaign schedule today on the eve of the primary, donald trump, as well, holding a rally in rock hill, south carolina hi, before going to columbia, nikki haley will be here in the charleston area phil and poppy, one of the things that nikki haley's advisers tell me that she really is trying to do is plant seeds of doubt in the minds of republicans, not just here in south carolina, but as the race goes on from here, michigan is next week. then of course, super tuesday is the first tuesday in march, march 5. that is the date by which she will have a decision to make here. but of course it all depends on the outcome morrow, her fundraising certainly will depend upon that final margin in her home state here of south carolina >> poppy, it's a great point about the money. jeff, based on what's behind you, just be careful on your hardship assignment in charleston, south carolina. >> big primary we can add just >> always do you embody? thank, you. we can well, joining us strategic communications expert and former republican strategist and pollster lee
5:07 am
carter, cnn political commentator and former special adviser to president obama, van jones and cnn senior political commentator and former special assistant to president george w bush, scott jennings aren't scott jennings? i just want to note the only person you called an expert at this table? when, you. could have just called me like random redneck or whatever, would not do that. i would just say that no omission is unintentional >> weight of that you're, just. makes a great point. i think everybody knows. and if they didn't, lee will tell you very bluntly how this is going to end tomorrow night in terms of this primary, yeah, this race in south carolina, the question for me is just great point at the end, which is how much does the money continue in order to sustain what nikki haley says is gonna be until the last one voter votes. >> yeah, i don't know how much money she actually needs to sustain the the campaign or the space that she's occupying. i mean, she's essentially running to be president of i told you so, which is to say a world where he gets the nomination. she is now openly predicting
5:08 am
that he will lose to joe biden and then she comes out, i think in her mind on the other side says, i told you so and we're going to rebuild from here. i don't know if that's going to happen or not, but that's what she is thinking. how much money do you need to sustain that? because no tv ads are going to be needed. i mean, you heard from that one voter there, how locked in he has i think people are very set and what they want to do. and so she's if she could continue on in a zombielike status here. i don't know how much money you need to collect that portion of the vote. that essentially sees the world the way she sees it. it's not a majority of republicans, but it's a sizable percentage. >> expertly finding that's exactly right. and we were just talking about this earlier where i think she's currently running for 2028. so whether it's beyond or beyond, she's young and she's thinking that she's the future of the party and she knows that americans want a fighter and she's going to be the one that's sort of fought the good fight when nobody else would. and i think that's really what she's she's banking on and i don't see her going anywhere that's well said. she's not going anywhere i go anywhere, but i
5:09 am
think it's good to have a republican not just sticking up to donald trump is sticking up for some principles. you got ukrainians who are fighting and dying and now losing navalny is dead democracy is on the ropes. and you need somebody in that party with a national platform to keep that candle alive of just basic american commitment to democracy and freedom around the world that shouldn't be so weird. but apparently now it is. and so i don't know that she's doing south much good in terms of future for the party she may be branded as somebody who tripped up donald trump at the finish line. who knows what her future izzat i'm telling you the future for democracy is on the line this year, and she's become a champion for that. i think it's good. >> thanks, guys. stick with you in turn to the issue of ivf and this debate that is so beyond our family i mean, it like what everyone in this country is talking about and the through line from the roe versus wade decision that president
5:10 am
pointing to the trump thing, you sort of started this with your supreme court appointments to if this is actually what democrats need politically to really push forward on this this issue. >> look politically, the republicans are kind of a soft still beating machine on this. i don't know why they think that the country is going to be with them on this. we talked about freedom, the freedom to be a mom, the freedom to be a dad, the freedom to be grandparents, the freedom to grow your family, to have that taken away. >> a >> by a party that just seems to be completely tone deaf to what this type against the whole, it's not the whole republican party. it's not the whole republican party, but i'm going to tell you right now, you put your foot on that banana peel were roe v wade, and you gotta write that thing all the way, all the way down the escalator and that's where they are get me. i disagree. >> i >> mean, as someone who considers themselves to be a strongly pro-life republican, this is not the position of the republican party. and vast
5:11 am
majority of republicans believe in the miracle that is this technology that allows people to have families and so i don't know any republicans that are out running around saying my priorities are getting rid of all these people who want to try to start families were a pro-family party. we need to act like it. no republican needs to support this and i don't think you're going to hear too many supporting it and the mission for local policymakers, be they an alabama or anywhere else? go ahead and get ahead of this now protect people who want to start families. you want to be a pro-family party. here's a good chance, so i think what's >> interesting about that is that we haven't seen a rush of republicans making that. matt gaetz, nancy mace, i know those are the individuals, you follow religiously in terms of you >> i'm kidding >> but, but it's been interesting that you haven't seen leaders come out in a major way. in fact one of the people you have seen is tommy tuberville and i'm not totally sure he was helping the parties case listen >> as all for it. we need to have more kids. we need have an
5:12 am
opportunity to do that. and i thought this was the right thing to do, but idf israel tuesday have more children and right now, ivf services are posit some of the clinics and alabama aren't you concerned that this could impact people who are trying to have kids? >> well, that's that's another conversation >> there was a journey and there was even more of it than that. now, his office has since clarified in no way, was he supporting the reaction from various medical facilities to cancel ivf procedures in the wake of the alabama supreme court's ruling, that ruling, of course, why those clinics are canceling the procedure here's yeah the the self beating machine goes on. >> numbers, both i think are important for people to know in terms of where people are on this issue, but also underscore a point scott's making the party needs to go it's a big this is a big loser. this issue here, we've got as 6% of americans support ivf, including 78% of pro-life republicans. and 83% of your
5:13 am
this is a very, very slippery slope and if republicans don't get it, right side of this, they're going to be framed as anti-family just as you just so easily did. and there's gotta be symbolic gesture. there's gotta be a moment we can't stand for this be. >> and you've been louder and you've been louder than the whole party has been over the past 24 hours though. why is i just think but i think that you have a party that has put its foot on a banana peel here and i don't, i don't look the passion you just spoke for families when i start hearing the big people in the party sounding as good as you on it. i'll be worried about it as a democrat i'll be happy about it as a human being. but right now, you have a party that can't even stand up to complete stupid lunacy. the coming down from about from republican controlled state courts. >> and you're >> the fact that donald trump didn't even address it and when he was speaking last night to show that christian broadcasters to me is his silence is deafening, that there is no way donald trump is not going to wind up coming out
5:14 am
against, i mean, look what he's already doing on abortion 16 weeks. he's for the exceptions. the reagan position. i mean, he already understands where the political center is on this for mainstream political thought, there's no possible way he's gonna be running a campaign in support of this ruling. my suspicion is you're going to see the party pretty forcefully say, we strongly support families who were trying to have babies. and we were not in any way, shape, or form go to enable people that want to stop them will the wealthy, and we'll wait, guys, thank you very much thanks, guys. >> want me to go, president biden did announce new details in the sanctions targeting russia over the death of alexei navalny. and of course marking two years is weekend since russia's invasion of ukraine, we're going to be joined to talk about all of it with the us ambassador to the united nations since there she is stay with us >> united states have scanned with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn, not flossing. >> well, then add the wo of listerine to your routine. new

5:19 am
zelenskyy, us aid. as you well know, has stalled on capitol hill. ukraine faces critical shortages on the battlefield, and president zelenskyy is warning of the cost of congressional inaction here. as russia's war stretches into year three will you grayness without gone verse support of course but not all of us. would you will never stay, will never stop. he will go through europe because she wants it. because this is his goal >> joining us now is us ambassador, the united nations, linda thomas greenfield. we appreciate your time. madam ambassador. i want to start. we see another round of sanctions. this is already the most significant sanctions regime that's ever been implemented, particularly given the scale in the alliance that's put them into place. but it also seems it comes at the same time where russia has made gains on the battlefield and it feels like the momentum has started to shift somewhat. how concerned
5:20 am
is the administration about the trajectory of this war? >> lot the administration has been working diligently to get the assistance to the ukrainian effort including pressing congress to provide needed funding. but the ukrainians resilience can't be played down here. they we have taken back 50% of the territory that russia stole from them. and they will keep fighting. they asking us to fight for them. they're asking us to assist them, to give them the tools that they need to continue the fight and we're working to try to get that to them. >> madam ambassador, i wonder what you make of this from the former ukrainian first lady catarinia shanker. here's what she told us yesterday the delay, in arms is castillo's thousands of people every day.
5:21 am
and if we had gotten the aid when there was the threats at first started, if we'd gotten the aid when the then the new escalation at first started it would be over, but we have been fighting with very limited capacity. and i think that's very important for the us and europe to understand that withdrawing assistance will not make the war shorter. >> her assessment that had this aid gotten there earlier, the war would be over and she means with ukraine as a victor, i wonder if you agree with that assessment >> you know, i'm i'm not a military strategists. i can't say that, but i can say that the president has been clear that ukraine needs this assistance to continue to fight this war. they're on the front lines of fighting for democracy and that's why it is so important that we get this aid and this assistance to them as
5:22 am
quickly as we possibly can. and i know that they are frustrated. i know the president is frustrated and we're all frustrated. we want to see them get the support that they need. so that they can continue to defend themselves and to defend democracy >> the president has been unequivocal about the desire to have that happen. obviously, he would need to actually come back to washington to get that done. if i want to shift over to the war in gaza, if we could, because the us vetoed a un security council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. this has been a back-and-forth and at a ton of work, i'm told behind the scenes intensively to try and shape things, to try and reach some kind of outcome on your side of the us, sayyed ally side as well. i think my question is particularly since we saw the prime minister benjamin netanyahu lay out his longer term proposal last night for the first first time. >> do you feel like >> what netanyahu laid out is viable? and do you feel like the israelis are holding up their end of the bargain given
5:23 am
the us willingness to assist them both militarily but also in places like the un we have been clear in the un and particularly in my role in the >> un, that we have to do everything possible to find a path to getting hostages out. to getting more assistance in ending this conflict we thought that the resolution that was presented by the algerians actually hurt those efforts. we have people on the ground working this around the clock they're working around the clock to get humanitarian assistance in and they're working around the clock to come to a negotiated agreement that will get hostages out, bring this conflict to an end. initially, a pause so that we can get humanitarian assistance in and then have that pause it's extended for a longer-term and eventually have it extended permanently this is
5:24 am
really hard work that negotiations are hard work. we worked very, closely with the algerians to try to help them tailor their resolution so that would impact act, would not have a negative impact on the situation on the ground, but would have a positive impact on the negotiations. we cannot support a ceasefire that only gives an advantage to hamas, so that hamas can continue its attacks on israel, but also continued to hold the palestinian people hostage. >> earlier this week, israel submitted a report that you obviously know very well, the detailed hamas is systematic and widespread acts of sex, sexual violence. on october 7, then un experts have called for an investigation into what they are describing as quote, credible allegations have a grievous human rights violations against women and
5:25 am
girls in gaza. how concerned are you at the reports of weaponization of sexual assault in this conflict? i mean, you have got now 29,000 plus people killed in gaza. you still have israeli hostages being killed. there were very concerned about these reports this is something that we have stood strongly against, not just in this situation in israel and the situation in gaza, we have made very clear our strong opposition to the use of sexual violence against women as a tool of war. and it is clear that, that occurred on october 7 and we appreciate the investigation. that the investigations that are taking place right now that will document that's so that in the future we can hold people accountable. >> it just took so i wonder if you could weigh in before we
5:26 am
move on. just took so long for for the un for important bodies to vocalize that. i mean, israel has now submitted this report. it's in writing. but of all of those atrocities of sexual violence on october 7, again, this is something that we're extraordinarily concerned about. i know i've met with the un special envoy on sexual violence. i know that she visited israel a few weeks ago, and i know that she's concerned about this this report as well, and we will continue to address this issue. we held what is called an arria formula meeting in the un to talk reported. we've supported the israelis in making sure that this information gets out. >> us ambassador to the un, linda thomas greenfield. we always appreciate your time. thanks so much. well, the ex-fbi and form and charged
5:27 am
with lying about president biden's family is arrested. again, we're gonna break down. why agents made this rather unusual move. that's next so, would you get to national hot tenders and three mandarin orange tenders? i >> what about you? >> three classic tenders >> for big butterfly, srand for hello of a kind. when oh, >> he said always a competition, i am the shrimp, but only the sleep numbers smart, they'd let you each choose your individual firmness handcuffed for your sleep member setting and actively cools or warms up to 13 degrees on either side. now, say 50% of asleep number limited edition smart man plus 10% off all basis monday. oh me, it's leaped number. >> so i got you a little something warming for him, tingling for her. >> should we >> experience the thrill of bringing them together? say more than i love you, say i want you with key yours and mine. >> copd. isn't pretty out of

5:30 am
your case now called bunny hundred 8149977 united states of scandal with jake tapper. sunday, a nine on cnn. >> welcome back. so the former fbi informant indicted for lying about president biden's family it is in jail on tuesday, alexander smirnov was released by a magistrate judge in nevada under several conditions. those included gps monitoring and the surrender of his passports. >> but yesterday, his lawyer said he was rearrested, quote, on the same charges. and based on the same indictment, cnn chief law enforcement intelligence analyst john miller joins us now. i'm sorry. what? >> why? >> so picture the scene. right?
5:31 am
i'm alexander smirnov, international, man of mr.. at the center of the alleged $5 million bribe scandal to joe biden. i'm sitting in my lawyer's office and there's a knock at the door and it's the fbi and here's smearing off his lawyer, david chest off to like valleys under smirnoff, you're under arrest. have an arrest warrant we are commanded to arrest you and they're like, yeah, we know that. okay. he's already been arrested. were arresting him again on new charges. now, on the same charges, guys, i know this is fun, but you just can't keep around testing somebody over and again. they're like we have a different warrant from a different judge on the same charges. so what the fbi did was the magistrate said bail saying, look, he's not a danger to the community. he's not a mob hitman. he's not a gang leader. yes, he's a political lightning rod but that's a political problem, not a public safety one. so i'm gonna give them an ankle bracelet. we're going to secure some bond and let them out. they went to the trial judge in california and said, we want to bring them
5:32 am
right to you and have a new bail hearing because you're the trial judge, you're the one he's going to have to show up for so they got this arrest warrant. his attorney has filed papers to hear all that out, but i can't remember quite seeing anything like this. and the government is very serious about it in their original application. these words are, there is no set of conditions or combination of conditions that can reasonably assure the return of alexander smirnov to court what does this indicate to you about how dead set the fbi is on keeping >> this guy behind bars right now. >> so this isn't just the fbi. it is, but it's also the special counsel who we should remind people is a republican appointed prosecutor who became the special counsel on the biden case who are worried that a guy who's sitting on 6 million in his accounts $3
5:33 am
million in his wife's it counts within israeli passport and a us passport, and contacts high up in the russian intelligence services could flee the united states, end up resettled with the kgb or the gru and russia and become a propaganda tool where he starts repeating the same lies that he was just rested for for the fbi. so it's complicated, but the judge's point is yet complicated, scandalous. but as it really dangerous >> yeah. what do you >> think's going to do you think, so far? you know, it's >> trying to read the next judge is they're gonna they're gonna argue david chasnov will probably make an argument similar to the one i it's made, which is he's not a danger to the public. and we need him to prepare for his defense. we'll see how that goes with judge otis. >> john miller. thanks. >> thanks >> so this was very exciting. you're looking at the first image of the moon. this is from the lunar lander it is the first us spacecraft to touch down on the moon in 50 years. we'll talk about the

as this broken piece of navigation software. engineers on earth were able to patch up a thick and allow odysseus to safely navigate that treacherous terrain on the south pole of the moon, dodging craters and boulders to find a safe space to land. and so that is what happened. it took a little bit longer than the company thought to communicate with the spacecraft, but it is sending back data now and this is now the first time that any american spacecraft has landed on the surface of the moon since the end of the apollo program back in 1972. so it's a win for nasa as a sponsor of this mission >> but >> certainly a win for this texas-based company, intuitive machines. they were able to do for about $100 million what nasa was able to do with the
5:40 am
apollo program with a much larger budget. so some big cheers from that mission control room. >> when the >> landing happened >> and now we get to see what odysseus can do on the surface of the moon for the next week or so kristin fisher, cnn, washington, and joining us now astrophysicist and astronomy at the american museum of natural history, dr. jackie charity. >> we >> so appreciate your time to where kristen ended, which is what should people be looking for in the near term. and then what does this mean for the long term? >> yeah, great questions. great questions. so first of all, it's the area that we landed that's really critical at the south pole of the moon, because there are, there are secrets of astronomy that you can uncover. if you can get to an area like that. and that's part of why you'll see all hi, is on the south pole of the moon. >> there's these >> craters that are in shadow and in these cold traps as we call them, are water and also
5:41 am
the remnant of the origin story of the solar system. so remnants of what probably will lead us to understand how the solar system formed and so that's why we want to go to the south pole. and that's what people should really be thinking about as we talk more about the moon from science side of things. >> dr. ferdi, can you talk about that moment when there was the holdup? i remember logging on last night about 05:20 to watch this and nasa and then it was like delayed till 630. and then i'm listening to them and they're talking about there's a little communication error here. the fact that as our colleague kristen reported, they were able to use an experimental tool, if you will, that nasa had created an effect. it in the middle of this mission as this thing is landing on the moon and it all worked out i mean, it's just seems extraordinary. >> it is extraordinary. i mean, i think this was a teamwork mission, but also this is the little engine that could now people. we've got, we've got private companies that are
5:42 am
doing something that nasa was the big guns at before. but now we're getting masses coming along for the ride, helping along the ride. but you're seeing a company like intuitive machines get the job done so i was in this watching with trepidation, probably with a lot of other people, even if it had crashed, it would've been an amazing feat that had been done but really what i was so excited to see happen was a private company get done with the big guns were doing prior to this from the united states perspective. for that, it was an excitement for commercialization of space at some level. let's go to the moon again. and of thing to >> i can't wait for that moment. jackie ferdi, dr. jackie ferritin what do you say? >> we want to send people back to the alyona. and if that's going to happen, these are the
5:43 am
kinds of missions that need to happen first, as we test out what this area of the moon is going to be like. and also then we need the water people. so that's also why we're going to the south pole. so i needed you last night. i was like, why the south it's hard but there's ice. there may be indebted. i >> need to do last night with my 5.7 year-old, dr. ferroni. thank you very much. well now to this ahead >> for us this morning, there's news that former talk show host wendy williams is battling dementia and aphasia. what her family is saying next erin burnett, outfront tonight at seven on cnn >> fast sides signage that gets you noticed in terms hot lots into home that's signs. >> make your statement >> the whole new breed. ready
