>> all right, 06:00 a.m. here in washington, that is a live look at capitol hill this morning. >> good morning to you kasie hunt. i'm very grateful to have you with us this morning. the biden trump rematch. that's 70% of americans say that they don't want in november is one step closer to reality this morning after big wins for both candidates in the michigan primary, president biden easily capturing the democratic race with over 80% of the vote. but look at this number on the i'm committed line, more than 100,000 michigan democrats. that is a loud statement about the president's support for israel. >> they voted >> uncommitted. that of course, is a critical issue. the biden team knows they're going to have to confront over on the republican side, donald trump continues to sweep gop primaries. he easily defeated nikki haley by over 40 points in a call with supporters, trump looked ahead to the general election, sank what we would michigan, we win the whole thing but the former president also faces that formidable challenge. you can still see it in these numbers,

too many republicans say they won't support him and for that reason alone, nikki haley insists she's staying in here's what she told cnn's dana bash last night you're committing that you are going to be in this race through super tuesday >> i mean, we are in all the super tuesday states now. that's what this is all about, is making sure that we hit every state and led oh, yeah. no. >> look, there is a voice out there for you. there is a way out. yes, we are fighting through yes. >> yes. unequivocally, urine through super tuesday >> absolutely. add we have a country to save. absolutely >> all right, let's bring in former michigan republican congressman fred upton. he is with us this morning. congressman. good morning to you as a censure, former republican and congressman. let's start there. in terms of what you saw with donald trump and nikki haley, but i'm also very curious what your read is on those hundred thousand people that voted uncommitted for president biden. and what

they might do in a general election if in fact this biden trump rematch materializes well, you know, they were only expecting they were hoping for a 10,000 people to vote uncommitted. and i got ten times that more than 100,000. and it shows how weak both of these baits are in the general as you said, 70% of america doesn't want a rematch between these do you look at the numbers from south carolina? because three weeks ago and the biden win there. yes, he got 96% of the vote, but less than 5% of the voters actually turned out, you look at nevada. yes, trump won big. but none of the above was a strong second. that's what we're seeing really across the country, which is why no labels, which is looking at a unity ticket or republican and democrat. and ballot access in all 50 states has a real pathway to get 270 votes come november >> i mean, i think that would require a candidate first,

which they struggled to come up with can we dig into the reality here for these, this is a huge arab american muslim community. many of them are very upset with how things are playing out in gaza. and specifically the president's support for israel in the context of that war in the general election they're going to face a choice. most likely at this stage between someone who called for a muslim ban and someone who as president has been supporting this war, they obviously wanted to send the message. they did that. >> but what, when the >> rubber meets the road in november, what is this going to mean for that community? how do you think that they're going to act? >> because really >> michigan could be the entire ball game here when we start counting electoral votes in november well you're right it's a purple state. remember, 2016, it went for trump 2021 for biden. and my sense is that

a good number, that 100,000. and there'll be there'll be even more voters in the general election versus the primary. but i think they'll stay at home i think they'll sit at hands, which is real trouble. for the biden administration because you've got that, you've got the uaw and the knock and i'm biden i'm electric vehicles and how it's going to cost jobs in manufacturing in michigan the african american vote, do that they don't. in many cases feel that they've not done enough for them. so you've got three major voting segments and the democratic side that are not happy. and as a consequence sitting at home really does help prompt. and then you've got person on the trump side of things. you've got a lot of people that are upset with him, which is why that number 70% breaks. all records. it's, it's never been that high for not wanting to participate in that happy with the candidates of the two strongest respective party

sitting here today, do you think trump wins michigan in november if the elections held today right now, i think he does. i think it's recent poll shows that he's a couple of points ahead there's going to be a lot of effort paid in, but if it's these two i think trump wins michigan >> yeah. >> all right. congressman fred upton kicking us off this morning. congressman. thanks very much. let's bring in our panel audie cornish, cnn anchor and host of the assignment with audie cornish, ron brownstein and senior editor of the atlantic, kate bedingfield, former white house communications director, jeff duncan, former georgia lieutenant governor, rejoins us as well. welcome all great to have you today at ron. you're shaking your head as you're watching congressman, what's up with >> i think it's analysis of michigan. it was spot on his his argument that no labels has a passive till you're 70 electoral college vote was a little optimistic. so look, i think most democrats agree that the shortest path to two-under

70 electoral college votes for trump, excuse me, for biden, is to rebuild the blue wall and to hold the three states that trump took away in 2016, which is michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. and of those three, michigan has looked oh, since trump's victory look the best for democrats. i mean, democrats have done very well in michigan. whitmer 1.18 and 22, he wanted by 150,000 votes. they've won the legislature, they've done a lot of things. but i think there fred upton is right that if the election was held today, biden would probably lose michigan and this 100,000 the votes is so important because precisely because there are so many other challenges that he is facing in michigan economy is the perfect storm and it's, it's not hard to imagine a world where in a close election it's hard for biden to hold arizona and georgia he can tough out wisconsin and pennsylvania and michigan does in fact become the tipping point state. so >> kate, i want you to jump in,

but first i want to get this news from our colleague jeff zeleny because the biden team and we noted this earlier this morning, they put out a statement last night, right. saying you know, thanking michigan voters, they didn't mention this uncommitted vote so our jeff zeleny reports that unprompted he sent this in before 06:00 a.m. a. white house advisor says, president biden shares the goal of many of the folks who voted uncommitted, which is an end to the violence and adjust in lasting peace. that is what he is working towards. clearly, they felt, well, man, we got to say something. i mean, 100,000 people. >> yeah. yeah. i mean, look, i they should have so loosely take this as a sign of something that they need to address. i mean, i think there's no question in an election that is going to be incredibly close. that is going to turn likely on probably tens of thousands of votes in the few key states this kind of outpouring is something you'd have to address absolutely. well, one thing i would say though, i mean, there's been a lot of discussion of this was a choice for these voters between biden and uncommitted. that's very different than a choice between biden and donald trump.

and the things that donald trump has actively done to the muslim community says he would do again, but also don't forget this was a tailored and organized campaign designed to encourage people who wanted to express their frustration here to turn out and votes specifically on this issue. they're going to be a lot of issues facing voters in the general election in november. absolutely. people who felt motivated to come out for this on this issue. i think probably will in november, but, you know, people who want to see their reproductive rights protected, people who don't want to see a president who is all about a hateful rhetoric. that's gonna be a factor too. so don't forget how tailored this was and so i think we've got to put that in context too. i mean, audie, how are you looking at this? i mean, yesterday we were sitting here and they were hearing them say, well, we want 10,000 votes. they got ten times that well, they set the barlow 20,000 >> right? >> the time when people just want to write in donald duck or they're just annoyed in general. i think i feel a little different in my analysis

here in that these people actually turned out they're still interested in what's going on. and in fact, they want to send a message to their eventual nominee to pay attention to something they care about. i feel like that's very different from what nikki haley's doing, what's happening in the republican side where there are people who are just fundamentally dissatisfied and don't know where to go. i mean, the fact that fred upton was there talking about how everything is terrible and what about no labels when there's no candidate, no plan and no i don't know what is going on with no labels. i found completely baffling and there is still this strange question mark that nikki haley really was trying to exploit last night a very pointed interview with cnn of saying like we can get out, there's a life raft. like she was very sort of the length. i mean, it might crazy like the language she was using was one of let me help you help me help you. america. >> i think michigan was a

really good snap poll forward the pent-up heartburn in both parties, right donald trump has a character problem and that translates to nikki haley and joe biden has a policy problem and i think built into that 100,000 number we certainly they did overshoot the 10,000 estimate. i think there's other policies probably stacked up into that where folks are just realizing, hey, i'm going to vote for this uncommitted guy. because i'm i'm not aligned on some of these policies that's going to follow the democratic party that's going to follow joe biden >> policies can be addressed. i mean, there is now going to try his character. that's exactly right. that's the quicker fix for the democratic party for joe biden. if he can get these policies right and start to measure and talk about immigration in a way that makes sense with the majority of americans and inflation and then he's got a chance to upright. but donald trump has no way to fix his character. i mean, the suburbs are done. >> well, that's haley is leaving a trail of breadcrumbs about where biden is most likely to go if he is going to recover last night trump was only around 60% in oakland county and ken county, two big white-collar suburban counties.

it's what we seeing. he walked heat while winning big in south carolina, new hampshire, he lost college graduates is only won about 40% of independents. a lot of people living at or below the median income are going to be it's gonna be hard for biden to win them back because of how scarring inflation has been. his pathway is improving on even what he did in 2020 in white-collar side a rosary, you got voters who really haven't been as inconvenienced by inflation are more receptive. the arguments on abortion, more receptors in the arguments on democracy and haley really is showing the trail of what the pathway will be for biden if he can recover >> very interesting, all right, our panel is going to stick around. we'll be back later up next here though, we have breaking news, farmers and ranchers in texas facing credible loss and destruction as wildfires there burn out of control plus hunter biden is gonna be on capitol hill today to testify behind closed doors. and a shocking comment about alec baldwin from the rust armorer, who's now on trial for manslaughter, play about that?

break it all down for us, derek, good morning. really awful situation for these folks in the texas panhandle yeah. >> kasie. so the video you showed just a moment ago, you saw that kind of a fire whirl that is extreme fire growth and a very erratic behavior. look at this video of the smokehouse creek fire and the texas panhandle jumping over the highway. i mean, this is just really incredible to watch that unfold. these are the difficult conditions that not only residents and firefighters are dealing with on the ground, but so was the agriculture and the cattle look at these cattle just fleeing for their lives, moving away from this billowing smoke that by the way, is being fueled and moved by 50 mile per hour winds. that was late in the day yesterday. this still has zero 0% containment. this is a significant fire, but there are other several fires ranging from 20 to 60% containment at the moment, but the smokehouse creek fire that is the big one. this is the fifth largest wildfire in texas

history, really saying something. and so was this, this is satellite imagery. the moment a cold front pass through there it is with that shading of blue, the orange spots here are actually fire. and i want you to see the direction change as that cold front comes through, the wins were from the west to the east before the cold front move through and then you see the flames moving in a north to south direction because of that abrupt shift in the wind taken advantage of the dry have vegetation on the other side of the cold front, making it very difficult to battle this particular round of forest fires. and wildfires that are ongoing. the other threats, the tornadoes striking in the middle of the night when people are sleeping across the western suburbs of chicago in the southeastern michigan, a confirmed tornado now near the grand blanc thank region that was about 01:00 a.m. in the morning. larger storm system, very active, lots of lightning, thousands of lightening strikes occurring right now, we focus in on the ongoing tornado, watches covering five us states

much across the ohio river valley. let's focus in on the columbus region because columbus was under a tornado warning roughly an hour ago, that line of radar indicated tornado-warn storms has moved eastward. it is showing some weakening in the signatures we're monitoring that very closely here within the cnn weather center, but a very dynamic morning unfolding across the country from wildfires in the texas panhandle to a roller coaster. and our temperatures could drop 40 degrees for some areas across the east coast today >> yeah. >> but our weatherman van dam, derek, thank you very much for that. >> all right. >> also here today, hunter biden heading to capitol hill to face off against his republican adversaries. he's gonna be testifying behind closed doors after months of wrangling and negotiating with the two committees that in spearheading the impeachment inquiry against his father, the deposition will not be recorded but a transcript will be released. republicans were threatening the president's son with criminal contempt if he did not sit for questions,

and he is by far the most consequential witness to testify so far, joining us now, cnn senior crime and justice reporter border kaitlan polantz, katelyn. welcome. thank you so much for being here. so how can you help me understand how this all came to be because they were adamant like he's not going to testify behind closed doors. how did it unfold and what do you expect from today? >> and this is something house republicans have wanted for a very long time to get hunter-biden under oath, talking to them, answering questions about his business ventures, his business in ukraine where he was on the on the board of burisma, this energy company, and then also some business ventures he had in china, the sort of things that the justice department looked at for a long time and ended up investigating, ultimately charging him with tax crimes the, house. republicans have wanted him to sit for this because not just because they want answers to this, but also because of the spectacle. he's the president's son and hunter biden has delivered on that

front in a lot of ways. previously, his lawyers marched him to capitol hill twice to have this shows very dramatic fashion, very dramatic fashion. yeah. we are ready to for him to testify. and finally, they did negotiate, reach these terms so that he's going to be sitting before the house oversight and judiciary committees today. it's going to be behind closed doors. it's not going to be videotaped like others in this impeachment inquiry around joe biden and the biden family have been and there will be a quick release of the transcript. we are told, which is something that they've been demanding, right. because they didn't want republicans to selectively leak pieces of what happened. and that happens a lot typically if somebody gets subpoenaed, they're not going to ultimately avoid it. but one thing that you can do is negotiate associate jim comey, his attorneys. he also negotiated this one over. he was in an adversarial situation with remember, it's not one that's very interesting. >> how does this >> smirnoff, the guy who has been accused of lying? the feds have now said, well, he lied to

the fbi about a lot of this. >> how do the things that >> he provided this inquiry with like with them kind of falling apart. how does that impact the hunter situations specifically? >> well, there are gonna be questions that the house republicans are going to have specifically for hunter biden. but what they're trying to do in this impeachment inquiry is tie. joe biden to money coming from overseas. they haven't been able to do that at all. and there's nothing in the hunter biden situation that ties him directly to funneling money from overseas to his father because alexander smirnov, this fbi informant, was lying about the accusations around that. now, republicans have said don't look behind the curtain there right? >> pay no attention, pay no tax. look over here. look over here we're going to keep doing this inquiry. hunter biden may not be the last witness, and they are also trying to call into question the justice department put doubt on that

investigation that has this f by fbi informant, but he's going to go into trial. that's going to be looked at by not just a judge but a jury as well. >> all right. kaitlan polantz for us. kaitlan. thank you. always really happy to have you here. >> all right. >> this just in this morning, pope francis has gone to a rome hospital according to a source at the vatican, we don't know yet why he did that. the pope has been in and out of the hospital over the course of the last year. the last week, he's canceled several audiences due to his house health. we're going to be tracking this closely and we'll bring you any updates as warranted >> right up next here, president biden and donald trump both >> cruising to victory in the michigan primaries. but of course both campaigns have reason to be concerned, plus how lawmakers are hoping to avoid a government shutdown again >> eliot spitzer crusading governor by day, wanted to be present in the united states. client number nine by night, this guy who is a crusader against human sex trafficking is actually a customer, united states of scandal with jake tapper. new episodes sunday at nine on cnn

general election, he called a supporters trump looked ahead to the general telling them, quote, we win michigan, we win the whole thing. >> still, nikki haley at least staying in the race for at least another week telling cnn's dana bash will continue to campaign and she's looking forward to super tuesday. now, just six days away >> we are in all the super tuesday states now. that's what this is all about, is making sure that we hit every state and led oh, yeah. no. >> look, there is a voice out there for you. there is a way out. yes, we are fighting through it yes >> all right. joining us now from waterford, michigan is cnn's omar jimenez. omar. good morning to you. this was a pretty significant message that these voters sent to president biden it. >> really. is i mean, look, these were wins, but with some general election warning signs, there weren't really expectations that joe biden was going to lose his primary. there were expectations really that donald trump was going to lose this primary. but if you want to start on the biden side of things, yes. there was a large movement led by arab

american activists over joe biden's handling of the israel hamas war. now before this, they said victory for them would be getting 10,000 votes. we had seen in previous elections. this campaign or not, that usually uncommitted is double that. in most cases, they got over 100,000 votes in this state based on that movement. and likely some other motivations for people voting that in other parts of the state as well. so definitely they are declaring it the victory because for them, they wanted to be able to send a message to president biden that there's a large community that is upset. and when you look at president biden's margin of victory in this state in 2020 was around 150 the thousands. so this is a relatively huge slice of that. if that again persists to the general election, what's even more interesting is we made our way from waterford a little bit earlier here to dearborn, michigan. this city is home to one of the largest arab american populations in the country. and based on the city's unofficial results posted on uncommitted actually

beat joe biden here 56% to 40% based on what's coming so far, total around 11,000 votes. all of that said joe biden, did win this primary by a large margin and a senior adviser to the biden campaign, though, did put out a statement acknowledging some of the uncommitted enthusiasm we've seen saying president biden shares the goal of many of the folks who voted uncommitted, which has an end to the violence and adjust in lasting peace. that is what he is working towards now on the republican side of things, donald trump obviously won this state by a large margin. but nikki haley got around 27% of the vote. that's close to 300,000 votes, showing that there's enthusiasm, there. but it ended the day you got to win states to win delegates, and it shows a pretty tough path ahead for catcher does all right. omar jimenez for us in michigan. omar, very grateful for that report. i appreciate it. >> i don't want to turn now to an issue that's likely to play

a central role in november's election. it is going to play a central role in the election reproductive rights, and in the wake of alabama supreme court ruling that embryos are people, democratic senator tammy duckworth is leading on leading the charge on legislation to try to federally protect ivf treatments. but senate republicans who have been told to say that they large, that they should support ivf and largely do. still. there's a plan to block duckworth's bill. let's bring back our panel audie cornish, ron brownstein, kate bedingfield, and geoff duncan are all here with us. i want to show all of you how republicans qin's are talking about this because this is one of those situations and this happens a lot in washington duckworth is planning to bring this bill up in the senate. it's likely it will only take one person to object to it and make it so that it doesn't go forward. it's pretty common to do that on things that are unplanned in terms of the floor. but this is obviously such an emotional issue. here's how republicans answered some of the questions that our team put to them on the hill yesterday. watch

>> and i support ivf. i've got family members going through ivf. it's a way to build a family. you know, a lot of people go through ivf and it's their opportunity to have a baby think i completely supported, but i'm for ivf. i mean, i'm pro ivf and it's protected and law missouri and my states. and i think should be everywhere. i'll look at senator duckworth spill i'm a little skeptical usually those bills are about abortion, not ivf. so but we'll see >> geoff duncan as the republican at the table. you know this, this before the fall of roe, republicans were in a different place on this conversation with roe gone and that's why we're here, right? that's why ivf has suddenly been thrown i'm into contention. how do you think republicans should be talking about this issue? and do you think it's smart for them to block it from being federally protected >> well, i think it's important to make sure that you don't just make a point, but you make a difference when you talk about this subject because at the end of the day, this is probably in some people's

lives, the greatest miracle that's ever shown up this is ivf treatment and being able to have a child. i certainly have a number of folks, my wife and i were talking about this the other day that the folks and friends that we have that better in that category. so republicans need to steer away from trying to make a point, trying to just pontificate and blow hot air to win a primary. this is an issue that's important to so many families and it's an unwinnable issue if they just tried to grand stand on it addicted to tim alberta is book and listening to this highly recommend. it's just, i can't, i can't put it down. i'm almost done. it's just this this tug of war that goes on with this evangelical crowd and how they continue to just negatively influence the direction of the republican party. and i think this is one of these instances where we need to make sure that we don't fall victim tim, to try to follow that lead because this is truly just not just technology, it's quite honestly a miracle in so many people's lives where this really hits the policy, right? like you've heard these republicans and just showed some of you, some of them say, i support ivf, a lot of them are also on a bill that would define life at

conception, right? it says the term human person and human being include each and every member of the species sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, other moment at which an individual member or human species comes into being. so an embryo kate has by nature are jump in. ron is by nature been fertilized, so they're on a bill that would, if that bill were to become law, it would define an embryo as a life. yeah >> circumstances >> right? exactly. and so this is why, this is why republicans, you know, they've, they've, they've fought for decades and decades to bring wrote down and other grappling with the consequences of that and are not able to talk about how they landed here. it's a huge problem for them and i think this, you know, senator duckworth bringing this forward is smart because it's forcing the mechanism. i mean, you see republicans across the board trying to say i support i support ivf. this will be an opportunity, frankly, in ads for democrats to say republican and x, y or z didn't support this bill protecting ivf. so this is a way to draw that

conch cron, create contrast. it's kind of a forcing mechanism to force republicans to be candid about where they are on this issue because there's a difference between rhetoric and how you actually vote. >> you know, it's easy to forget that dobbs hadn't happened in the 2020 election it's after. and what we're talking about before in the last segment, i'm nikki haley leaving breadcrumbs in the suburbs. i mean, if you look, the role of abortion at 22 election was complex in red states, it was not enough to drive away voters who said they were pro choice, but otherwise leaning republican governors like brian kemp greg abbott, desantis, mike dewine, they did very well among pro-choice voters in their states. but if you look at the swing states, places like michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona in those governors races 65% of the state said they wanted abortion to remain legal in all or most cases and upwards of 75% of those voters did vote for the democrats. in places like that. and the whole

eruption of this debate about ivf just, just just underscores how powerful these concerns are gonna be. don't forget, republicans are going to be very reluctant to do anything at the federal level to secure these rights even when 2022, when the house voted, after clarence thomas's suggestion in the decision that they might go after contraception, there was a bill to provide a federal right to contraception. virtually all republicans voted against it. this isn't over, but can i just quickly i would also say that even in republican states where this was front and center, where you had valid issues and kansas it wins on the ballot. so the challenge for the biden campaign and for democrats is going to be keeping this issue front and center, which is part of what they're doing here. >> audie, what do you see here? i see that >> democrats, after some very smart polling, figured out how to talk about this issue. and it's now framed in the context of protecting liberty rights, freedom reproductive freedom. it's not a pro choice kind of language anymore. and that,

that's been very effective. the other takeaway from the midterms for them was to keep putting it on the ballot, keep putting it in front of voters. and until republicans can figure out how they talk about this. now, it's going to be a struggle. >> it's interesting, republicans set are policies around abortion and ivf and whatnot as it plays out. set it up for the primary. i think democrats do a better job of setting up their position to win the general. and we've got to figure out a way to not stop. >> those things are more aligned, right? because fundamentally you do have a more, i think some of the more mainstream views around abortion rights are more aligned with what democrats are thinking specifically, the area of enforcement, where republicans are running into trouble over and over again is saying, okay, you can't do this, okay. actually this is a crime now, the fetal personhood thing was out of a liability case so it's one thing to have a kind of ephemeral and philosophical discussion, even rooted in judeo christian values about where life begins.

it's another thing to take a woman to court, a dr. to court and start offering jail time based on those ideas. and i think mainstream wise, that has been a hard sell and purple states watching that unfold and red states that has been very powerful, like i said, it wasn't enough to topple abbott, wasn't enough to topple the santis or dewine, but in michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin, that state supreme court election and wisconsin lesser voters have over and over said, we do not want this here. and the threat of it being imposed on them. anyway, the national in a level probably is the best asset biden has in holding those states >> don't just have a messaging problem than policy right? i mean, at the end of the day, they support policies that are out of step with where the majority of americans are on this issue. >> i mean, i will say, i mean, i i do have frozen embryos and when roe fell, the first thing i thought was, well, are they in a blue state or are they in a rented and what does that mean for what my choices are, you or you've got a hard one happening overall, there's a

lot of households with men across the table as well, right? all kinds of families use this and that's the problem. it's a visceral reaction to that enforcement effort. and i don't think that that that's gonna be very difficult to manage going forward. it is >> all right. our panel is going to stick around with us. thanks for great conversation, guys. i really appreciate it. coming up next to the supreme court is ready to weigh in on bump stocks and whether the trump justice department had the right to ban them, plus the willy wonka experience in glasgow that left a little kid in tears, will bring you that >> vegas >> story of sensitive. sunday at ten on cnn for nearly a decade, i served in the navy supporting seal teams. today, i run sabo outdoors with fellow special operations let's veterans. our mobile app connects customers with hunting, fishing, and other outdoor experiences american technology has been essential to our growth. but some in washington want to stifle the technology. small businesses like ours depend on this

>> should have the privilege of being in our city. there's some people that feels that they should be able to remain here, keep doing the actions and to the eventually convicted. i don't subscribe to that theory. >> so again, kate democratic mayor of new york city. i mean, this is really, really telling in terms of how this issue is playing out across the country, right? >> yeah, absolutely. i'd for debate. it is tough for democrats and i think it's smart for democrats to be more aggressive on it because people are feeling frightened now, i don't subscribe to the mayor's language i don't subscribe to the trump vision of america as a decaying wasteland where packs of people are running wild, committing crime but it is true that people across the country, particularly in cities, are concerned about crime. it is smart for democrats to be more aggressive about it, to be more responsive to what people are feeling now where, where i think it gets danger dress is when you veer into the demagoguery and the bashing immigrants and making immigrants scapegoats know that that i don't believe is where

the democratic party should be. but i do think taking on this issue of crime being tougher it is a good thing for democrats and will run out to their effect. >> this illegally immigration issues become three-dimensional when you watch these cities start to swell and you watching democrat mayors really struggle with just how to deal with just the structure and the technic technical details of dealing with this influx. brian kemp puts it well, he says, every state is now a border state. and we watched in georgia over the past couple of weeks play out just the awful scenarios of use ga student laken riley was murdered by an illegal immigrant and the juxtapose is there are two separate issues, but they are blurred into one just horrific issue in georgia. and i think democrats have this wrong. i think the biden administration has this wrong. think democrats know that, and i think it's up to mayors to step up and say that out loud, not just tongue in cheek that out loud, say joe biden, you're wrong, move your feet on this issue. >> they are moving. i think, you know, i think immigration really encapsulates to me the larger dynamic in this

election, broadly speaking, in that a majority, a big majority of americans are dissatisfied with biden's performance on the issue. and democrats are being forced to move in response to that. but while there is a majority that disapproves of the way biden is handling it. that doesn't mean there's necessarily a majority for the alternative that trump is offering, which is mass deportation using the national guard internment camps restoring family separation at the border. the country does want to move to the right and there's a poll out yesterday. now we're up to 60% support for the remain in policy, which was so controversial under trump so there's no doubt, but the question on so many fronts, i think is will voters who are dissatisfied with the way things have played out under biden be willing to take the leap all the way to what trump is offering, which on many fronts is much more militant than he ran on in 16 or 20. >> we talked earlier about abortion, excuse me. we talked earlier about abortion and how democrats were able to reorient the conversation in a way that

could appeal to the public. and i think republicans fundamentally have been effective at that but this, at the end of the day after the outrage, the texas governor's move to literally bus people to various cities worked for them, and that it brought the white house into the discussion in a more visceral way to the point now where you have the former president and biden both visiting the border that was aimed day on the same day. i mean, you have even just a little trial balloons in the press of life. maybe there might be a proposal for executive order that might perhaps shut down the border. that's just like getting stuff out there to show. we hear you were interested, but it's a long way away from the party that was campaigning on. we're not going to put kids in cages we're not going to separate them from their families. we're not going to be them and you hear less conversation about overwhelmed immigration courts about the fact that asylum is already weighed down, that dysfunction has already brought those numbers down

tremendously. and you never hear anymore a values-based argument about america being a welcoming place for your tired, poor, and hungry. all that is out the window now. so it makes for a different race and makes war different discussion. >> and >> adams and others are leading the charge of that. reality counts. i mean the scale of people seeking asylum is beyond anything we've experienced seeing but not getting 3% of them don't get it. ultimately >> less than stay and the key of that bipartisan bill that house rejected was to raise the initial standard so that more people are reject, don't get to first base to continue our baseball discussion so that you don't have them in the system for 567 years. >> conversation that is something that biden looking to do in the context of crime, specifically and that is going to be a problem, but don't forget. i mean, you raised the bipartisan bill. there is an opportunity for democrats to be on the offensive because it was republicans who scuttled that

bill, which includes, which included an enormous number of very tough measures that would have had an mi democrats unicorns. it's republicans who wouldn't come to the tape, right? if unicorns and rainbows showed up today and we could remove politics from this whole discussion. we all know that there's two parallel lanes and have to develop. we have to have border security. and you have to have immigration policy in one can't happen without the other. and so we've got to figure out a way to lock ourselves in a bipartisan room and make actual budget perry concessions to make sure that that happens. and also, just to figure out how to shape this in a parallel policies, because one can't work with the other and it's the perfect storm. it's perfect political fodder to throw darts at the other team on this issue and get nothing done. >> final policy. >> that's >> where the tough part, what is policy if you think security is policy and that's it, that makes it hard to have a discussion. but if the party of reagan that once did amnesty now has many other policies completely off the table, right? where do you go from there? >> all right, we hopefully can continue this conversation on another day. it is 07:00. audie
