quote, misery march plus get out and vote michigan. it's primary day and some democrats are refusing to back president biden over his support for israel and its retaliatory war in gaza. >> what happened? happens at the polls and the next few hours may serve as a critical morning to the president in a state he needs to win reelection >> and cornell west doesn't care about being called a spoiler. but one of his independent presidential run land trump back in the oval office. i'll talk to cornell west one-on-one. this our dana bash, let's go behind the headlines and inside politics we start at, the white house where as we speak, the big four, mcconnell schumer, johnson, and jeffries are in the oval office with president biden. and what happens in that room could have major consequences, not just for this country and the ability to keep the government running, but for the entire world, ukraine is in

a dire position. president zelenskyy told my colleague kaitlan collins, he's country can't stop putin's forces without more funding. and whether or not the us comes to their aid is pretty much all up to speaker johnson at this point. cnn's arlette saenz is at the white house. arlette. >> i know they're in there. we heard briefly from president biden just a few minutes ago. what are you hearing from white house sources about what his goals are? >> well, dana, this meeting got underway just a few minutes ago, president biden sitting down in the oval office with the top four congressional leaders, and it comes as there are very few consequential issues facing the president at this moment. the most pressing one being that government shutdown without partial shutdown looming on friday. now the president in his remarks ahead of the meeting, said that he it's congress's responsibility to keep the government open. he said that a shutdown would be it's have significant impact on the economy if one were to take place and ahead of the meeting, house speaker mike johnson

expressed some optimism over on capitol hill, telling reporters that he does think they will be able to prevent a shutdown. so that is part of their discussion today, but the president is also used using this meeting really to ratchet up the pressure on house speaker mike johnson to pass additional assistance for ukraine. the president has requested $60 billion in assistance for the war-torn country as well as aid for israel and taiwan and some humanitarian assistance as well. the senate has passed that measure, but so far, house speaker her mike johnson has refused to bring it up for a vote in the house. now, to highlight the stress that the president wants to put on this issue in that meeting is also national security adviser, jake sullivan, and the president warned that not getting this aid to you crane will severely limit that ukrainian soldiers abilities on the battlefield. take a listen >> we got a lot of work to do figure out how we're going keep funding the government, which is an important problem

solution. we need to find. i think you can do that and ukraine i think the need is urgent and hope to speak that a little bit. and i think the consequences of inaction every day in ukraine are dire. >> so the president really expected to press the case, make his case for passing that additional assistance for ukraine so far. but house speaker mike johnson has shown no signs of budging, but you've heard the white house, you've heard zelenskyy talk about how this is significantly hampering the ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield. they're hoping to make that case. so once again today johnson and this oval office meeting. >> thanks so much. arlette. appreciate that reporting. let's go to capital heard the arlette talk about the fact that the speaker as he was leaving where you are heading to the white house, he said, there isn't going to be a shutdown. we're going to avoid it. the obvious question is, how is he going to do that when his own conference it's so fractured

>> yeah. look, it's still an open question. in fact negotiations are really at a perilous point. things can go forward. they can actually pass legislation to keep part of the federal government open that is still a possibility, or it can all collapse and there is just enormous frustration within the ranks. remember, this is the fiscal year what have been funded on october 1, but we are headed into the for the possible government shutdown scare because time and time again, they've had to simply extend government funding for a short period of time, the first time data that of course, that led to the ouster of that then speaker kevin mccarthy after the revolt on his right flank, this not this time now mike johnson has not indicated his preference on how to proceed. there have been squabbling behind the scenes between johnson and chuck schumer about how to structure this funding legislation and talking to republicans and democrats alike, they are sounding off about these talks let's, this is supposed to be done in september. >> i mean, >> this is now almost march when this is just ridiculous and they've had agreement on

the top line that had it since january this is why voted against the last seo or they're just been kicking this can down the road. i can't believe that they didn't get work done over the over the weekend they had months to do this stuff. i mean, my patients is run out, so leadership has to bind which leadership but said, well, yeah, of course, yeah, all of them. yeah, they're all the blame i mean, this at this point, it's just it's absurd. i think >> but it really this boils down to enlarge ways. dana, a republican and republican dispute, mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader yesterday, called for legislation to be passed, not include what he called a poison pill that is similar to the language of the democratic leader chuck schumer. right? even as mike johnson has been pushing for certain policy measures to be included in that funding legislation which has led to this stalemate at this moment. and also republican, republican division, of course, on the funding for ukraine. mitch mcconnell a fervent backer for more aid. ukraine. mike johnson it says that the border security needs to be dealt with first to the gop's

liking before he had green-light more aid to ukraine. so undoubtedly that's gonna be a point of contention behind closed doors, whether anything changes though that's another question. >> dana mono, it's so funny that senator hawley look, is trying to sound frustrated, but he's almost it's hard for him to high how much she's enjoying throwing the grinch needs from the sidelines on both the leadership of both hardest, most as most people do. yeah. as, you know, as most people like to do, absolutely. manu thank you so much for that reporting. i want to bring in my panel to talk about all of this. cnn's melanie zanona, cnn's david chalian, and cnn and bloomberg's nia malika henderson, melanie, i'm going to start with you because you just came from capitol hill. you're going to go back right after this. >> i think the >> point that manu made there, which is really critical when we're talking about the politics of all this is that it is the democrats right now who have all the leverage. they hold the cards for lots of reasons, not the least of which is because mike johnson knows

that it is not in the republican's political. let's just stay on shutdown for a second. funding the government. it's not in the republican's political interest to have a government shutdown. and it is up to him to avoid it. and it's hard to do because there are many people in his conference who are totally fine, right? mike johnson has almost zero leverage in this fight and a huge reason is because he can't pass bills just with republicans. they can't even pass basic procedural votes right now. so, yes, he is going to need democrats in order to get a bill to fund the government over the finish line. and that is really what you're seeing johnson wrestling with right now, does he cave to his right flank which is pushing for a number of policy demands that democrats would never go for. some of them are pushing for a complete shutdown, which johnson doesn't want to do. he wants to avoid that, but the question is, what does he do? it really is in his court and i think it's important to remember that walking into the meeting today, he is on an island because you have

mcconnell schumer, jeffries, and biden all aligned. they don't want to shut down. they want to have these clean funding bills. and they also want more ukraine aid. johnson really is on the island here. we'll see what he says as meaning. it's going to tell us a lot about how the west of their iq is going to play out. it's funny for me to think about like that johnson's without the leverage here because he is the singular reason that ukraine aid has not passed yet. i mean, that is a rare thing a speaker of the house to be singularly with the ability to either move, like get aid for a foreign country through or not. and he's chosen not to thus far this, you know, he has a bipartisan majority of the house that will pass it. there was a bipartisan majority in the senate that has passed it. but he has chosen and he could, in this moment sit in the oval office and say, i'll put that on the floor, it'll pass so it would be done. so i would argue he's exercising some leverage that he has in this moment because he has yet not chosen to give him to the

forces on the right. >> i totally hear what you're saying about ukraine. i think the challenge is that they're two different actual bills. >> yes. >> and so funding the government is over here and then the question of funding ukraine and then israel and others along with it is over here. and what you're saying is maybe he should say you want this, okay. give me this. >> well, certainly it seems like there is an opportunity there to combine these things and some let me just kind of go deeper into the challenge that mike johnson has with his right flank on this issue chip roy put a series of threads on twitter or x, whatever it's called. now, saying the house gop promise to secure the border and to cut funding for biden's rate medical progressive democratic agenda this week, government funding expires. what's the status short answer, no plan to fight. here's the long, longer form of the status update. no

security, no funding after passing three continuing resolutions for five months at pelosi funding levels without promising promises to fight the ndaa is token. dei policy wins and he goes on and on and on fight. fight is what they want mike johnson to do. yeah. >> listen. chip roy has been sounding off on my johnson for months and monte is not happy. he is not happy with it's the fact that nothing has gotten done, that the right flank would like him to do. >> the >> problem is that the right flank is still a minority. mike johnson has a very, very slim majority there, even slimmer now with tom suozzi there. so all they can do at this point is fume add to that mix, sort of donald trump being the puppet master over everything and mike johnson obviously wanting to please donald trump. so it is a complicated stew and a ms for the country, this sort of inaction, this ability to come together, and there is a

sort of naureen of a reality that they have to work with democrats. we all know how this is ultimately going to end. it's going to be some sort of bipartisan bill. the right is likely not going to win. again in chip roy is going to go on x and fumes more >> yeah. >> i'm pretty much sums it up and connect. okay? >> dave joyce, who tends to be a voice of reason. he hopes inside his conference, said the following. he said, it's about his conference. it's tilted further right. and not necessarily in a conservative way, but more in an obstructionist way. because you claim theme that you're fighting for people. but what have you really accomplished? i think that really boils down the dynamic right now inside the republican conference, because it's one thing to espouse conservative principles which the dave joyce is of the world absolutely do. i mean,

he's, he's a true conservative. but the other question is whether or not you're taking those conservative principles to another level, which is my job here, isn't necessarily to get things done to govern my job is to obstruct anything that doesn't comport with what we believe it. you're absolutely right. the disputes we are seeing on capitol hill in republican party are not about policy. it really is about tactics. it's about style. it's about this group of lawmakers that want to remake the party in the image of donald trump. and what you're seeing is the incentive structure for a lot of these members is to be come of celebrities and to raise money. and it's not to govern necessarily. in fact, they might actually like being in minority better because it's a lot easier to just sit there and say they want to vote against everything the other party is doing. and so that is really what's causing a lot of frustration between the joyce dave joyce swing of the party, which are pragmatists. they wanna govern. they want to get seemed things done. and then the bob good wing of the party who views compromises such a dirty word in washington, despite it being a divided government ran to the point

about being in the minority or the majority. this could be a determining factor when i say this, i'm talking about the ability to govern or the perception of chaos because will weigh in on that. well, that's november. let's just take gracian, which i know is not on the table right now, but as an example, what happened a couple of weeks ago and the question, monmouth did a poll and ask the question about who's to blame with a bipartisan bill failing. congressional republicans 36% dems, 30 at 13% in both parties, 48 but if you're looking at the difference between the two parties, they blame the republicans, but this goes back to the incentive structure that you said, raise money and be famous and win primaries, not general elections. i mean, that's what it comes back down to as well. except with well, we can get into this another time with the gerrymandered house of representatives. but their primary is effectively are the general election which leads us to where we are, where the chaotic house of representatives fantastic

>> the >> vote is on in michigan, the big story, how divided are the democrats? how many will vote uncommitted instead? biden because of the war in gaza, we're live on the trail after a quick break >> news night with abby weeknights at ten eastern on cnn. >> if i wasn't a clinical psychologist, i think i would've become a veterinarian if i could stand aside of blood, which i can't really so maybe you should strike that. >> my name is dr. gear i've been a clinical psychologists since 1991. i was licensed and i love being a clinical psychologists because i like helping people. i was inspired to take dallas of nature. and then when i started doing some research into the product, i thought sounds good. let me give it a try. so i started taking balance of nature about two-and-a-half years ago. what i really like about the balance of nature's that it has fruits and vegetable ingredients i feel great and because i feel great, i'm able to do everything that i want to do. i

wars, walked right into north korea. and my handle that those, their voters who are at the polls today in michigan, there's not much suspense over >> who will when donald trump and joe biden both have massive favorites. but we are going to learn a lot about their strengths and weaknesses in this pivotal state biden won michigan in the 2020 general election by three percentage points, putting it back in the blue column after trump won in 2016. today we're watching to see how many democrats express their frustration with the president over many things, including the war in gaza by voting for uncommitted, which is also on the ballot. cnn's omar jimenez joins us live from waterford, michigan >> doesn't look like >> the voters are beating down the tours of that polling place to get to get to that jim, there. but i am sure that you are going to see a stream of voters at some point today.

maybe you already have well, that's where we're hoping. it's lunchtime. maybe they'll come in after getting a nice meal that's, that's the optimist in me right now. what's interesting about michigan is that this is really the first time they've had the first cycle, have had early in person voting, you tack that onto absentee ballots that have already been returned and they've gotten over 1 million votes already, which when you look at the total turnout, they've gotten 20 20. it was just over 2 million. so a large proportion of this voting mesas already come and made their voices heard. yes, i'm not going to i'll spare you the full walk and talk here. since obviously we've got a little bit of an absence of voters right now. they've streamed in over the course of today. and you mentioned, look, there's no surprises necessarily on who is expected to win on the democratic primary side, on the republican primary side. but a lot of general election clues that we could get based on what voters are saying over the course of today, we just talked to one biden voter a little bit earlier, who said he is voting

biden because he wants to return decency back to the white house and other trump voter we spoke to said, he doesn't necessarily think trump is a decent person, but likes the policies that he's bringing in and wants to see him back in the white house. so it'll be interesting to see some of that dynamic but of course, also within the democratic side of things, a large push to vote uncommitted instead of voting for joe biden, especially from the arab american community here in michigan, which is the largest community of any state in the country over his handling of the war in israel and gaza. take a listen to congresswoman rashida tlaib about what she is telling folks to do on this primary day >> he must protect our democracy. we must make sure that our government it's about us, about the people. when 74% of democrats and michigan support a ceasefire. >> yet >> president biden is not hearing us. this is the way we can use our democracy to say listen and as of now, they say

that their goal is to just get ten uncommitted votes. though even in previous times without a campaign like this, we have seen more uncommitted votes, so we'll see what that tally ends up being. and remember in michigan, it is an open primary. anybody can vote for anyone. you just have to request a democratic ballot or a republican about when you actually get to a polling location like this right? >> omar, listen, if it stays like this, maybe you can get them to lower the basketball hoops. you can show them how it was done as northwest. >> wow that's up here. yeah. yeah. i mean, not that far for northwestern and michigan, just a little bit up the road north. >> thank you so much. west big ten country or you go >> omar. thanks so much for that reporting and with the political perils of his support for israel playing out in michigan as omar, which is talking about president biden is presenting a rosy outlook on his administration's efforts to negotiate temporary ceasefire and hostage deal well, i hope

by the weekend, i mean, the end of the weekend at least my my my nash security adviser tells me that >> we're close we're close. it's not done yet my hope is by next monday, we'll have a ceasefire. >> and israeli official tells cnn they were quote surprised by those remarks. my panel is back now >> david chalian the use of the word ceasefire there and he's been using it more and more, is no accident whether or not it's actually going to happen on monday. the fact that he's using that word, which we heard rachida to leave views and it is become the word of the progressive left and of course what they want the action too. but that's relatively new and it's not. >> and what he's talking about is a temporary so i know, but he didn't use the window. he doesn't know. no, i know. but you're right. if you look at the language, going back to almost two october 7 you'll remember that first trip he took to israel and the

netanyahu hug and embracing all that. but also in his remarks that day from israel was talking about a reminder of america's experience in 911 and not over reacting. that was depp was just like one little cautionary note early on and we didn't hear a lot of that again for awhile. you're right to note a change in rhetoric. we saw it when he went the de the her report. when you have that press conference in the white house, he talked about the israeli forces being over-the-top and their reaction over the top. and then in fund-raisers, he started saying about a ceasefire getting into place. all because imo as you watch, biden, the pressure has been mounting on him from inside his own party with key pieces of his coalition, young people, progressives, obviously arab americans in a state like michigan. this issue has presented to him in a very finite place that is a major battleground, a real potential political problem. >> yeah, i want you to hear what debbie stabenow, who is she's leaving. she's retiring

from her seat. she's represented michigan for very long time. she's also a member of the democratic leadership. listen to what she told kasie hunt this morning about the challenges there this is a lot of pain. we need to hear that we need to understand that. we need to listen. it's incredibly important that the biden administration is able to get not only a temporary ceasefire, but bring hostages home and be able to proceed to actually get real peace. there's a lot of important work and listening and results. it's not just listening. it's getting results. and so that's gotta happen yeah. >> listen the folks on the ground in michigan, the arab american community, they feel this viscerally notable that she used the word pain because that is what they're experience. a lot of these folks have family over there. they hadn't heard from their family in weeks and weeks and weeks at a colleague who was there over the last couple of days and that's what she was hearing. and that is what is being channeled into this

uncommitted of it's very, very organized. we've seen this in the past, but i don't think we've seen it to this level. that is backed by a singular sort of feeling, a feeling of discontent around a policy that they don't think is right. you do see biden, as david said, moving on this issue and i think last night he was almost seth meyers talking about israel and netanyahu been at the risk of losing the world's support because of the way they're prosecuting this war. we will see what happens tonight in terms of how many uncommitted votes are against joe biden. and we'll also look at his movement. was it this is what protest movements are designed to do. they're designed to be outsiders moving in a policy moving rhetoric as well. and that's what we've seen. >> and jonah goldberg was on the show yesterday, noting that the pain that they're talking about, that era of americans are feeling there's also paying, among other key constituencies in michigan and elsewhere, jewish voters and

also some evangelical voters who are wholeheartedly pro israel. >> you >> mentioned the uncommitted vote. i think the context going into tonight's voting is, and i'm just channeling him right now is really important. to say that yes, this is an effort to get people to vote uncommitted, which is actually on the ballot. you can check the box or pull the lever for uncommitted versus joe biden. it's it has happened before without things big efforts, a barack obama, he got there were 174,000 total votes and there was 21,000 on committed when he was on the ballot and there was no such efforts. so that just gives a little bit of context going into what we're going to see tonight. yeah. and the leaders of this effort are setting the bar pretty low by those standards. because they said that right there trying to get i think 10,000 uncommitted voters what they said. but look, it's not just the number of votes, it's where they're coming from. that's something else. the white house is going to be looking at very closely. they're looking at places like dearborn, like detroit. they're

looking at black voters are looking suburban women. they're looking at union workers, all key pieces of biden's coalition and they're going to look at tonight's results and see how much work he has to do come november, but it's also the same for donald trump, but i know we'll get into that, but both of them are going to have a very better look after tonight at what it's going to be like. and just remember just like we did in south carolina. okay. before we go we're going to tell our viewers something that you flagged to me, david chalian. and that is now an inside politics fun fact. today is chelsea clinton's 44th birthday. what makes that such a fun fact? >> that's how old her mother >> was when her father, bill clinton, began running for president david and i feel i don't want to feel it. i know you don't. and melanie just say right whatever there from our pay junior to cornell west could third-party presidential candidates tip the 2024 scales? we will ask professor west himself up next back room,

for being here, sir. i want to start with michigan, which is voting today. some democrats who are frustrated with president biden's response to the israel gaza war. there, urging residents to vote uncommitted effectively against the president. yesterday, he announced progress in a deal for a temporary ceasefire in exchange for a hostage release should that help? never mind what it means for the region which is the most important, but just on the raw politics of it, should that help the president politically >> well we shall? see, but i think part of the problem is we can't reduce what's going on in gaza to some kind of electoral political strategy. i mean, we've seen the example of our dear brother, aaron bushnell. it when he set himself on fire and killed himself, what was he saying? these are moral issues and moral causes? so he's not just brands and strategies and tactics. and as you know, since the data is so much, american politics is about strategy and

tactic, these are deeply moral and spiritual issues having to do with arbitrary power, being used. and when i hear sister rachida say well, biden does not hearing there's no biden as he enabling the killing of us. that's what's taking place here. and so you can imagine it might have air at brothers and sisters in dearborn and other places are saying, we're not just pieces to be moved on a chessboard. these are our families. this is mom and dad, this is grandma in granddaddy. it reminds me in some ways of the the rabbis who marched in the early ford is led by the great rabbi abraham joshua heschel and fdr would even come out of the white house. he said, henry wallace and the rabbis was sitting there saying, look, massacres are taking place, war crimes are taking place, crimes against humanity, genocide is taking place. what did the white house do? an early '40s? nothing at all, hardly. why? because he's electoral political issue, the jewish vote didn't mean extra jews vote didn't mean why these are human beings. and america

is enabling the killing of them. so what is now in 2024, where is the space for truth, just as love in a moment? electro-pop all it takes that barbarity that's the question. >> professor west, what about the other side of the argument? not, not that there's any appropriate side to the killing of innocent civilians. we should just say that flatly but when it comes to absolutely. when it comes to war and retaliatory war, which is what this is for lots of reasons. the most, the biggest is what hamas did, the terror attack inside of israel, but also currently, the hostages who are still there. do think that there is first of all, the hostages, but second of all, just on hamas, is there. do you believe in the idea of eradicating a terrorist group like hamas, which did such barbaric things to innocent civilians well, one, i mean,

you and i know that a jewish life has exactly the same value as a palestinian life of >> palestinian baby had the same vein, was a jewish baby. the question is, how do you get at two roots of it anytime you kill an innocent person, that is a crime against humanity. did hamas commit war crimes? absolutely. murder is murder. but at the same time, you and i also know that you, the root of what we're talking about here is an ugly occupation is an embargo and siege and then we can call for ceasefire. so in calling for a ceasefire, it ought to be on the way to get at the roots of the problem, which is the ending of an occupation. so you can then have forms of resistance that don't have to take the form of killing innocent people. now i believe in just war combatants can kill combatants. i'm not like martin luther king. i'm not a pacifist, but combatants must not kill civilians are innocent people, no matter who it, it is idf or hamas. but the

problem is, you're going to call hamas a terrorist group. and the idf is killing innocent people. there terrorists to, if american soldiers kill innocent people, their terrorist two, we had to be morally consistent in our language in our deeds. in this is what i pulled from hebrew scripture. this is what i pull for following a palestinian jew named jesus >> and the idf argument you heard benjamin netanyahu on sunday arguing wholeheartedly that the big difference is that hamas went out and sought out civilians what id with the idf is doing? is trying to get rid of hamas and the civilians are unfortunately getting killed in the crossfire. i'm not i'm not equating the two in terms of life as a life, but the argument is that hamas sought out civilians and the idf is not well, i mean, the difference there would be historically over the last 75 years, we bet overwhelming

>> evidence that the idf has killed innocent people and in his killing, innocent children right now. and each one, it'll children you that nodded. shield of hamas soldier so that the language on the one hand goes in one direction. they action goes in another direction. but the crucial thing is we've got to keep the moral and spiritual issues at the center. and that's one of the problem american politics these days. it's all about money, it's all about status and spectacle. what about the human beings who are suffering? be they mass incarcerated? get those are her barrios and poor whites or b, they in gaza, or be they frightened in other parts of the world? >> let's turn to make a hard turn now to politics. since you mentioned it, we're talking about you as a candidate. you're running as an independent candidate, independent of the parties you're talking about, you're currently on the ballot in three states, alaska, oregon, south carolina, out and you told nbc news that your goal was to be on the ballot in 15 states by march. march starts friday

>> are you going to fall short of that goal? how close are you? >> well, i said the ides of march. it was the ides of march by mid-march, we should be on at least 15 states because we've got the low-hanging fruit and march 1, you're absolutely right. allows us to move into the states, but i think you're wrong. a party in alaska. i think the progressive party in oregon, i think the united citizens party in south carolina, and it's fascinating already because you imagine alaska in many ways is like the national hockey league and not as opposed to the national basketball association. it's a vanilla place. they come strong oregon similarly, so all black party in south carolina with my brothers, the nelen brothers, there what would united citizens part? we are on the move. it is a multi-racial, multi gender motif, messages movement rooted in truth, justice, and love >> are you going to get on the ballot in any of the the

crucial battleground states. do you think you'll make it? >> i think we will know which one would this is. we're going to surprise the world. we go shake up too. well, with michigan, arizona. we're going to try to get on the state in texas and california. what california with the peace and freedom party is already been very kind. i'm part of that nominating process, but we're shooting for the tough because one does, you know, in new york and texas and california. but now i applaud by the kennedy getting on the ballot in arizona. we've still got most states and whether rfk jr i'm telling you and he's got the same views on gaza as biden does. i got my god, and he's supporting cointelpro and wire tapping ban that the king junior as they come on rather kennedy what are you talking about here? we've got a chance to really show how our vision, our commitment to virtues are committed values are distinct from not just rfk jar, but also the two parties trump and

biden, 70% of our fellow citizens say they don't want biden or trump my god, what an unprecedented moment for independent candidate well, we will see, hey, keep us posted and let us know when you when you get the signatures that you are seeking to get on those ballots, >> particularly those swing states like michigan and arizona. thanks so much for coming on. professor west. appreciate it. thank you so much. thank you so much. indeed, stay strong soon. >> a surprise hearing and fulton county, georgia will lead to da fani willis. fani willis rather being disqualified from the trump election subversion case. stay with us >> via headliner laws that's what i want to do. >> it. so unlike anywhere else in the world, vegas, the story of sin city sunday at ten on cnn >> it's important to surround

attorney-client privilege, and they met yesterday behind closed doors to talk about those privilege issues. and that's when the judge determined that bradley may have been missed it's interpreting privilege the whole time. he signaled as much during that hearing. let's remind our viewers here >> a factual scenario that to my mind, i don't see how it relates to privilege at all. and so now i'm left wondering if mr. bradley has been properly interpreting privilege this entire time and i think the only way i can cure that is by having that in-camera conversation with >> so defense attorneys will get another crack at bradley ashleigh merchant, the defense attorney, the first level these allegations against nathan and wade and fani willis says that she believes bradley can prove that nathan wade and fani willis were lying on the stand as to when their relationship began. but if you remember last time and bradley wasn't entirely forthcoming during cross-examination by merchant will be looking to see what limitations judge scott mcafee

puts on any questioning, if at all, and what he will ultimately allow into evidence. dana and nick, we are learning that willis and another top prosecutor received harassing phone calls after cell phone records really, what's that about? >> that's right. some a legal filing made its way to a far-right social media account and the unredacted phone number of the fulton county district attorney was on that unredacted filing. they posted it and over the weekend, both willis and nathan wade receive a slew of harassing phone calls and it really underscores the safety issue shoes that they've been dealing with here the whole time, willis didn't go in any details. we did reach out to the fulton county district attorney's office to respond to this. they did not comment. but as i mentioned, dana just really he underscores the safety and the emotions surrounding the drama of this case. >> dana, a drama is an understatement. thank you so much. appreciate that reporting we'll be right back.

consultation >> let's get right to senator chuck schumer, the senate majority leader outside the white house after meeting with the president was this soft fat country that lost its way and would take advantage and so we said to the speaker, get it done andclear

to him that we want to do something real on border. and in fact, we democrats in the senate supported border bill that very conservative groups, including the border patrol agents, the wall street journal editorial page chamber of commerce. we're for, but said to hold up ukraine, which is he admitted was a national imperative. because you can't do something thing else which we all should would work on was a non sequitur. there was no logic. there's a logic to solving the border. we want to

solve it but we have to, but we have to do ukraine right now because there's a weight with that can get done quickly because that has brought by consensus and the border, take some more work which will be happy to work on to get it done but not hold up the ukraine bill for it. >> schumer >> says, let me first thank president biden for convening us for this very important discussion to address important challenges that are confronting the american people. it was an intense meeting was an honest meeting. and ultimately it was a productive meeting. we discussed three issues. first, the need to avoid a government shut down and to fund the government so that we can address the needs of the american people in terms of their health, their safety in their economic well-being. we are making real progress on the appropriations bills that are scheduled to lapse on march 1,

and i'm cautiously optimistic that we can do what is necessary within the next day or so to close down these bills and avoid a government shutdown at the same time. it may be important to come to an agreement that's by partisan and anchored and common sense to extend the pending exploration of the eight additional bills that are scheduled to lapse on march 8, sold that good faith tough negotiations can continue in the absence of a government shutdown. second, we discussed the urgent national security priorities of the american people as captured in the bipartisan, comprehensive senate passed legislation this is an existential moment for the free world as it relates to being there for our democratic

allies in ukraine and israel and in the indo pacific. and also at the same period of time, making sure that we provide humanitarian assistance to palestinian civilians who are in harm's way in gaza or in other theaters of war through no fault of their own. third, as leader, schumer indicated, we had an open an honest, and candid firm discussion about the border. we all agree that we have a broken immigration system and there was a need to address the challenges at the border in a thoughtful, bipartisan way. as democrats, we support a safe a strong, a secure, and humane border we just need our house republican colleagues not to play politics and engage in political stunts relative to the border, but to sit down, as

was done in the senate and enter into good faith discussions about fixing our broken immigration system has democrats, we stand ready to do just that. >> you understood what he made this meeting? one of the most intense you've ever had urgency of supporting ukraine and the consequences to the people of america to america's strength if we don't do anything and don't do anything soon, i was so so shaken, but what i saw at the border, i was i was strengthened by the by the strength of zelenskyy and the ukrainian people in the ukrainian soldiers. but shaken that here they are firefighting without arms against a brutal dictator who will just do anything to kill them and the intensity in that room was surprising to me but because of the passion of the president, the vice president, leader, leader jeffries speaker, my leader mcconnell and myself it

was and, johnson tried to answer any made it clear he wants to do something on the border, but we made it clear to him. we can't terry where the war could be lost and second, we had we wanted to do border and have a tough, secure border plan as we showed, we democrats showed in the senate, but he can't say i won't do ukraine until we get border. he's tried to do border for six months and couldn't come up with a single democratic vote. that's enough. next one next one. yes. yes. discuss border here. >> is this part of discussions. >> is there a >> legislative discussion as part of or is this still the republican because he made it look has to be done to the white house. lemon, make it clear. we made the overwhelming sentiment that meetings we got to do ukraine. now, there are other issues including board what are which we should address, but not now. and there was a discussion in the room that could you do border just by administrative action, i think biden won that. aren't because he said you can't
