3:00 pm
whoa, how did you defeat them? with a little kung fu strength and by connecting my devices to the most powerful force of all. skadoosh. hah, huh? cool right? amazing. harness the power of xfinity internet and stay connected to the things you love. ah, they'll be like this for hours. hello dad, hello dad, hello da. uh-oh. good bunnies. ahh! 8, 5, 2, 3, 4, 9, 8, 7. >> vegas. the story of sensitive tomorrow at ten on cnn you are in the cnn newsroom. hi everyone. i'm jessica the dean in new york, and we begin this hour with the latest from gaza, where the us
3:01 pm
that operation as describing it as a welcome sign that they can continue similar drops in the days and weeks to come. at the same time, a senior us official now says, israel has quote, basically accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal release more hostages, and that it's now up to hamas to agree. there's a lot alvarez joining us now live from washington. priscilla, what's the white house saying about today's drop? jessica, they're describing this as a success, but they're cautioning that more needs to happen to address this humanitarian crisis in gaza. now, here's what we know so far this included 66 bundles and was done with the jordanian air force. in total, it was 38,000 meals though it did not include water or medical supplies. now the location was chosen then because us officials assessed it was an area where people were sheltering and in need and after the air jobs happen, they did see that civilians approach the assistance and also began
3:02 pm
to distribute it. >> but what >> administration officials have been saying is that they want to flood the zone that includes these humanitarian airdrops, while also exploring other avenues like a maritime corridor to get even more assistance in. but none of this is a substitute to the land crossings and making sure that humanitarian aid can also come through there. so while they are touting today as a success, they're also making clear that a lot more needs to happen to address this dire humanitarian situation that is unfolding in gaza. so priscilla, we're also getting word today from a us official on progress toward a ceasefire, a hostage deal. what can you tell us about the latest on those talks? >> yeah. senior administration officials expressed some optimism in the direction of these talks have been ongoing for weeks and they said that israel has basically accepted a framework. now, this framework includes a six-week ceasefire over the course of those six weeks, a couple of things would happen. there would be a surge of humanitarian aid that would go into gaza the un also would
3:03 pm
allow for the release of the hostages that are deemed most vulnerable. that's women, the elderly and the wounded. now, it would also allow for officials to work on some of the stickier points over the course of that time. that includes the release of hostages who are idf members, while also trying to work through a more enduring plan that's how a senior administration official put it. >> but all of >> this is going up against the clock. they're trying to reach this deal before ramadan and all parties have said that this is a sensitive and delicate opportunity and also that they have to just work around the clock until they can finish the deal and it's not a done deal until it is all the way to the finish line. i will also say that this is happening when vice president kamala harris is scheduled to meet with israeli war cabinet member benny gantz on monday. that is a conversation the two will have that we'll touch on the hostage deal, the humanitarian aid christ humanitarian aid to address the crisis in gaza. and also the day after planning. that's a priority for the vice president going in the weeks to
3:04 pm
come. and that's something that the two will discuss. benny gantz will also be meeting with national security adviser jake sullivan while he's in town. jessica, much more to come on that, but thank you so much for that updated reporting. priscilla alvarez for us in washington, dc, if a new ceasefire really does come together and more hostages are released, and we begin inching closer to an aim the of this conflict, it does raise that question that priscilla was just talking about of what happens, what comes next to gaza as we move ahead and bring me now is aaron david miller. he's a former state department negotiator and senior fellow at the carnegie endowment. and hagar chemali, she's a former spokesperson for the us mission to the united nations and the host of the youtube who show. oh, my world, it is great to have both of you. thanks so much for coming on this evening. erin, let's start with you and this potential deal that we seem to be inching closer to its now on hamas to agree. do you get the impression that we might get to a finish line here?
3:05 pm
unfortunately i. cannot hear aaron's, so we're going to see if we can work that out, but he got let's go to you for a second. we'll work on that audio as well. i want to ask you about these aid drops and what do you make of the aid drops from the united states today and them happening now >> yes. well, so these aid drops are not easy to pursue as you as you talked about with the spokesperson john kirby, highlighting how difficult they are, how how extraordinarily expensive it is, how dangerous it is to pursue two airdrops. and the fact that the united states was able so quickly after this tragic event to announce that they would be doing this at a day later to actually airdropped them in partnership with the jordanians is really quite significant. now, that said, while airdrops are fantastic and helpful, they're not the most efficient way to get aid to people because they are dangerous, as we said, this is a war zone, but because they can't carry as
3:06 pm
much aid and food as truck convoys can. but what ultimately, what this does is highlight not just helped dire the humanitarian situation is on the ground and how dangerous it is for the palestinians and the risk of famine, obviously, but also how what kind of job the israelis are doing and getting humanitarian aid in and that is not a good job and they could be doing better. and we know that i worked in the us government. i worked closely with the israeli government. >> i know they could better. >> they promised 200 trucks a day. there's a reason for that humanitarian aid is very important during a war. as secretary of defense, lloyd austin said, civilians these are the center of gravity in anymore. and since the beginning of january, we know the average according to new york times has been 96 trucks a day. but the last month have really been 50. and sometimes as little as 20. and so that's why these, these aid drops are so important, but it doesn't cover the real problem at hand, right? >> and they're talking about how do they potentially expand as it the maritime corridor to your point, is it somehow
3:07 pm
getting more trucks and which is what it sounds like in order to meet the need really needs to happen. >> but >> obviously, regardless of how you're delivering it, this safe delivery of this aid is really front of mine rat right now, after the deadly disaster around that convoy last week do you get the sense that this is changing aides, aid groups approach on the ground. it certainly, as you said we did start to see these airdrops from the us almost immediately after well, there's certainly going to be thinking of more creative ways. but when you're talking about maritime corridors and airdrops, obviously, these are really only things that can be done with by governments. it's not that easy for international organizations to come up with a maritime corridor because that's not something that it's something that the government has to allow that something that israel pasta has to permit. and so that's something that's better done between the united states and israel, for example. but the fact by the way that the us is rushing to do this as quickly as it can highlights what an
3:08 pm
emphasis us is put, placing on the need for humanitarian aid and how much they're willing to carry on themselves. and it also highlights most critically the need for a ceasefire the fact that the us is saying they seem very hopeful that a ceasefire is close. we saw that israel has accepted the latest terms and that now the ball is how hamas's court i it's hard to say how hamas will react. they rejected the last two proposals and so it's hard to say, but at the same time it's not in hamas's his interest to have this kind of fighting during ramadan. >> but >> i'd also argue it wasn't in hamas's interests to pursue the terrorist attack of october 7 and sacrifice their entire people in what was to be expected to have an israeli bombardment. but that said to answer your ultimate question, there will be more governments looking at creative ways, but for international aid unfortunately, they're going to have to continue focusing on the border over land. >> right. and i believe we have aaron >> david miller back with us now. aaron, i'll i'll post you my original question, which
3:09 pm
is just this idea of potentially inching closer to a ceasefire. as we were just discussing, israel according to a us official, basically agreed to it. it's now in hamas. the ball is in hamas's court. what do you make of where we are in those discussions and how they could potentially go forward >> as i mentioned before, it just ignore it ever, nobody ever lost money betting against an israeli palestinian agreement and by-in-large, airbus really negotiations usually have only two speeds. and i think this is shown that slow and slower, that said, i think we probably have the best opportunity since the last hostage for prisoner exchange in jane in november. partly because in many respects, both israel and hamas now are under great pressure to cook, to cut a deal. hamas needs to re-up and rearm. they want to defer or delay what is going to happen. israel is going to mount a considerably >> heavy >> ground campaign into rafah. so hamas needs to buy time.
3:10 pm
they also the advent of ramadan and the prisoner releases will boost hamas is stuck among the local population. >> and i think >> the israelis two are under greater pressure from hostage families from the war cabinet. benny gantz, the former minister of defense, and a putative successor to benjamin netanyahu is doing washington on monday. i think he's supposed to sit with vice president harris and jake sullivan and i think the war cabinet, benny gantz and his colleague gadi eisenkot, quote, if former chief of staff are also much more inclined to to du hostage for prisoners change. i would only caution the key here. and i think he's really concerned is hamas does not have all of these and i would suggest you that part of the reason for this delay is that the israelis need assurance in verification of which hostages are going to be returned, which hostages are alive? and reportedly 30 of the
3:11 pm
134 were either killed on october 7, their bodies brought back to gaza to trade or died in captivity. >> so the >> names of the hostages, validating proof of life i think it's essential to this to go station. but again, by ramadan, i think there's a reasonable chance for an agreement >> and aarin, i just want to ask you because of your background in hostage negotiations what why do they not know where all these hostages are? help people understand why they don't have, maybe have a good handle on where they are. hamas >> likely because on october 7 of the 250 plus israelis and foreign nationals, including eight or nine americans that were taken. were not taken only by hamas palestine islamic jihad wholly-owned subsidiary of the government of iran may have some. and there were reports that clans and
3:12 pm
families, perhaps even criminal elements ended up taking several. so despite the best intelligence at these and the americans have part of the problem here is verifying that hamas has all of the hostages that they want to trade. and i think this is going to prove to be a serious issue for negotiation. one final point. >> i'm not sure they've reached an >> agreement on how many palestinian prisoners and of what of what type and character are going to be exchanged. and for this israeli government, the most right-wing extremist in the state's history. a large prisoner exchange, including high-quality prisoners in eyes, those who have israeli blood on their hands, who have there been charged for convicted of killing israelis? hamas is going to demand substantial number of those. so again i'm hoping that in fact we're close
3:13 pm
to an agreement, but, you know, as you know, nothing's done until it's done. >> nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to hear it all the time in washington, right. aaron, david miller, and hagar chemali. i think both of you i appreciate it. >> thank you jessica >> still ahead. first lady jill biden, putting trump on notice, blasting him at a campaign event is her campaign role coming into focus? we've got new cnn reporting for you next plus a freight train went off the tracks and merely into a river in pennsylvania today, we have that story and more for you in the cnn newsroom elliott spitzer crusading governor by de, wanted to be president in united states client number nine by night's >> this guy who is a crusader against human sex trafficking is actually a customer. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper, new tomorrow at nine on cnn >> okay. ready to washington >> one second. i got it. finished my laundry. yes. >> it's girls night. one second. i use rinse wash rinse

3:19 pm
hopefully in the next 15, 20 minutes here and and he is coming here after this event in north carolina, where he has given us a preview of how he is going to use these charges. a politicized them and the cases that he is facing all throughout the country, turning them into a general election issue. and that's what his campaign wants. they want him to focus on the general election to put this primary very behind him, but he couldn't help himself today from taking a shot at nikki haley, his opponent in the gop primary. take a listen >> i haven't heard about her, so i won't even use people say don't even talk about his, don't talk to it, but i have to when i have so i have to talk front row joe's because she's bad news. i know very well. she's very average >> north carolina and virginia will both hold their primaries on tuesday, on super tuesday as we get deeper and deeper into this election calendar, jessica and speaking of the election calendar, a trump also picking
3:20 pm
up some delegates today in michigan, missouri, philipson on that >> yeah, cnn can now project that president trump will when all 54 delegates at stake in the missouri caucuses, that state caucus see today, idaho will be caucusing today as well trump was also awarded all the delegates at the michigan republican convention today, all the delegates, that were at stake, 39 of them that as an addition to the 12 he won last month when the state held its convention, little bit of drama in michigan though, there are multiple people right now who claim to be the gop leader in that state, which is a bit of a problem for the republican party's. we get deeper into this election cycle because that is such an important state and in such as big swing state, if they don't have their ducks in a row, that if the state's going to be one on the margins, that could be trouble for them. jessica >> yeah. >> yeah. michigan is going to be a big one coming up in the
3:21 pm
fall. steve contorno for us in richmond, virginia tonight. thanks so much. and this is going to be a big week for president biden, of course, as we just mentioned, super tuesday days away. and on thursday he will deliver the state of the union to congress so while the president is doing those last-minute preparations around that, he has who you could argue is his biggest supporter on the campaign trail. jill biden, sharpening her attacks on the republican presidential, likely republican presidential candidate, donald trump >> but donald trump he spent a lifetime tearing down and devaluing our existence he mocked women's bodies disrespects our accomplishments and brags about assault now he's bragging about killing roe v. wade, donald trump is
3:22 pm
dangerous to women. and to our families we simply cannot let him win. >> cnn senior white house producer betsy klein is joining us now and betsy, when i covered him in 2020, i remember jill biden at one point, helped pull like a protest or offstage. they would say that was her philly side coming out was kind of joke around that but what we're really seeing her sharpening her attacks on the former president in support of her have absolutely jazz. we've seen the first lady criticize republicans and former president trump in the past. but her remarks, this week really marked a clear shift in her tone and her willingness to take the gloves off. and as she campaigns for her husband's forth and to final presidential bid, she has motivated in part by trump saying recently that if he is the republican nominee, she would work even harder. so now we're seeing her in this general election campaign role coming into sharper focus. she
3:23 pm
is now in the middle of a force stop swing to a series of battleground states launching that women for biden-harris coalition today, invasion i guess. and she's able to really connect with that group because like most of the first ladies who have come before her, she is significantly more popular than her husband. her disapproval ratings are about half her husband's. she's a less divisive, biden and she can speak as a teacher and as a working mom and grandmother. and really the person who knows the president best yeah. >> and so should we expect to see more of her? i would imagine on the campaign trail in the coming months, especially as this general elections likely to start really coming into focus really in the next week yeah, i think this week is just the start of an active campaign season for the first lady. we know she's been working behind the scenes, sitting in on some of his political meetings, helping with some of his hiring decisions for key staff. but we really expect her to ramp up that presence on the road in the coming months. and notably, the campaign is really planning to leverage that popularity beyond the trail. she's been a strong grassroot and high dollar fundraising draw. and there are now plans to use this
3:24 pm
week swing for a series of digital ads. jess. >> all right, betsy klein for us in washington. thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. and joining me now to dissect this all and much more, cnn's se comp and alencia johnson, she's a former senior adviser to the biden 2020 campaign. it is great to have both of you, alencia, let's start first with you. we just heard from betsy on these kind of sharpening attacks from jill biden, is this something? and that you would expect having been there for 2020 and as they get, they look ahead to the general election in 2024 >> not only do i expect for this to continue to happen for us to actually see more of dr. jill biden on the campaign trail. i actually think it's a very smart strategy, given that a key part of the base that is frustrated with republicans assault on women's bodies and receptor rights and abortion are young people and women who dr. biden, she speaks to write,
3:25 pm
she speaks to a mother as a woman, as a teacher. all of those things, and she's able to bring some a bit of communists? and the way that only a first lady can, because she's not the president who can sometimes be a polarizing figure, but she has this way of people, feeling like america's friend or mother and having that plain speak conversation with folks is a smart strategy, especially around these issues of agency and autonomy on women's bodies in the x threat that donald trump is on the next-generation here in this country >> and se, first lady's often are much more popular than their husband and do have a higher popularity rating amongst americans. that's not abnormal. >> a she going to be >> able you think to move some of these? it's critical base. voter basis, people that they're a little soft on their coalition, maybe women voters of color, but also potentially these independent voters that they're going to need as well in these swing states.
3:26 pm
>> yeah, listen, i i agree with everything that alencia just said. and listen, this is what surrogates are for surrogates are to speak to different groups and you bring in different surrogates to represent different, different voting groups and speak to people that maybe the principal can't can't address as authentically. however, joe joe biden's great. however, this is a different kind of primary and the knock, the number one knock on joe biden is his age, his cognitive health is physical health. and i think it actually just looks it doesn't look great to put his wife out there to speak on a lot of these issues because i think the sort of >> subliminal message that some voters will get is he's not up to the job now, that's unfair because every campaign and candidate will send surrogates out, right? including first ladies and kids and that's usual and normal. but i think
3:27 pm
in the lens of this primary i don't mind not actually sure that it helps them >> interesting point. i want to talk to about this new, new york times polling. we have mentioned several times in the last couple of hours, one poll is a snapshot. however, alencia it's not a great snapshot for joe biden right now. you see that just generally, the horse race there for who would you support in the 2024 election? well, this is among hispanic voters, 46%. joe biden, 40%. that's one key demographic. joe biden is going to need to do much better with if he's going to win it also showed that biden is tied with trump among women. why do you think these core pieces of the biden coalition are softening on him, at least according to these numbers here's what i'll say about those polls. if the election was tomorrow, i would
3:28 pm
feel extremely worried versus the election being several months away where i'm still wearing. but there's a bit of time for us to use those polls are democrats to use those polls as information. i'm glad we're having this conversation that the latino population and black voters, young voters, progressive voters, are frustrated with the biden-harris administration for whatever reasons they may be, but they are also a lot of achievements from this white house that they should be campaigning on. a lot harder when it comes to working for those communities. i think these polls give the campaign the indication and the time that they need to go and build with those coalitions. that's what the uncommitted vote was four and a primary. and michigan, an order for the campaigns who understand the gas that they have to meet up. and so while those polls may seem discouraging and i feel like we've been talking about those polls for over a year now, election okay, it's still very far out. we've got to get through super tuesday and then we've also got to get through the democratic national convention, where the party build a platform. all of the
3:29 pm
pieces of the coalition that makes up the democratic base. and so i actually look at these polls as an opportunity for us to see a way forward with these communities and se do you agree do you believe there is still time? i do think this is i want to know what you think about this because these are two candidates that are so well-defined and known by american voters, right? >> does that play into this at all? do you agree there's still time for biden to make it up or for trump? to lose it in some places >> for sure. >> i think biden's problem is, in some cases, messaging, right? the economy is tough to message on because a lot of people don't feel like it's doing well, that's really tough and it's a number one issue on immigration and other number one issue, it's bad policy and i've had democrats told me that sort, of off-camera and privately like these, you just
3:30 pm
got bad facts on the border and that's going to be really hard to reassure people in any amount of time unless he changes that policy there are other sort of tertiary issues israel as important, crime is important. it's really tough to move those kind of titanic issues you know, overnight. and it's going to take time. i don't know that it's enough time. >> frankly, for biden to do >> that and for trump. i mean, every day is another chance for trump to dig himself into a deeper hole. and i think nikki, haley's success winning 40% of the republican party and a number of states should be a huge warning sign for donald trump that he might not have a big enough base. to win a general election even if he, even if he wins the nomination for the republican party, general is going to be real tough. >> and as i want to, as you mentioned, nikki haley, we saw her get the endorsement of senator susan collins and lisa
3:31 pm
murkowski, just now, they did wait until this last minute before super tuesday and where she is really battling an uphill battle and try and trying to take on donald trump. do you think that is? >> too little too late? what does it say to you? is it helpful >> yeah, every endorsement is helpful and those are two big name republican senator women, and that's, that's important look, nikki haley just raised $12 million or her campaign is not on its last legs? that's not what you'd say of a campaign that just raised $12 and i think there's this sort of media narrative that he's gotten in the bag. republican party is divided. the only way to correctly describe a republican party that the front runner is losing 40, 40% to someone else is divided it's not coalesced around donald trump. and i think as long as she still has buyer's meaning donors and voters who really
3:32 pm
want a trump alternative and are telling her to stay in it. i think she's gone and i think she should and i'll let say i want to look ahead to next week. we talked about super tuesday, then the president is going to give his state of the union address were he really is going to have an opportunity to talk to millions of people and talk to them directly. >> is this. what do you hope he his messages, it's a long speech obviously, and we in dc can get a little more obsessed with it than perhaps the average american >> but but, but what do you you hope he says, and how do you think it starts to shift their focus, which is really, we're seeing this unfold to this general election >> yeah, i think this is going to be a twofold speech. one, it is going to talk about the achievements that he has made as president of the united states from the economy around how he envisions protecting abortion rights. he's going to make the case that he is the president for of shoring up and
3:33 pm
saving democracy and listing out the record achievements that he's made that fortunately, a lot of people don't give him credit for or pay attention to. >> but >> he's also going to draw a distinction shan between him and donald trump. and i think we're going to see that very clearly him and the current republican party, he's going to make that case to the american people and actually think that saved the union will be watched by a lot of people because we have so many ways of getting information, not just cable news, the rotten social media, and so voters here's our kind of disconnected and getting their information from a lot of different places. and so oftentimes they ms where president biden is giving some speeches or where he's out talking to folks about policy. this is the onetime i do think he's going to get a real large audience outside of maybe the debate stage or the convention, the summer so the white house is going to use that to their advantage in really probably, as we saw in last year's state of the union, makes some jabs
3:34 pm
that the republican party that they may not be able to come back from >> all right, alencia johnson s. e. cupp. we're going to leave it there, but i appreciate you both coming on on this saturday evening. great to see you sure >> still ahead. devastation in texas as the smokehouse creek fire becomes the largest in that state's history, it has already burned through 1 million acres and it is not slowing down. we're going to take you there live next to you in cnn frank sinatra actions with the mafia. and all these nightclubs were owned by the mob. >> you didn't want to make those guys that he was vegas, >> the story of sensitive to ros ten on cnn getting him to brushes no longer a chore. the sink is overflowing onto the floor. luckily, american home shield is there to fix or replace cupboard parts of appliances and home systems to help you stay on course and budget sign up today at hgs.com
