it's going to happen there >> well, we know anderson that scot peterson will join the hearing via zoom from prison, and the hearing really centers it's around this motion that his lawyers with the innocence project filed with the court. in that motion, they say that scot peterson has maintained his innocence for 20 years. and during that time, he's been working with investors the gators, and lawyers, and has discovered what they call this substantial new evidence which you had actually referenced earlier. we don't know what that evidence is, but they say that it does support his claims of listen, so they're looking at the dna, they want some items tested again, retested, and then they also want some new items, new new items tested for dna. and they think think that there's something there anderson that could prove his innocence. so we really don't know what to expect tomorrow. we know for sure that no doubt will see more motions filed, more hearings in this face before we know exactly if scott peterson will get a new trial. >> all right. randi kaye. thanks. the news continues right here on cnn >> it's tuesday, march 12,
2:01 am
right now on cnn this morning special counsel, robert hur's set to testify before congress after releasing an explosive report about president biden's handling of classified documents and alleged cognitive decline plus a developing story out of haiti, the embattled prime minister resigning amid rising gang attacks against the government and former president trump's justin, he's open to cutting social security and medicare after vowing repeatedly, he would never do it all, right 05:00 a.m. here in washington. a live look at capitol hill, lot of action up there today. good morning to all of you. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us >> a first >> special counsel, robert hur, is set to testify in a matter of hours before the republican led house judiciary committee hur investigated president biden's handling of classified documents last month. he concluded the president did ms
2:02 am
handle the material per however, chose not to prosecute still, it was his assessment of biden's mental sharpness that caused political shockwaves. hur's report described biden as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory, be claimed that the president's condition would make it hard to get a conviction he, also called into question the president's memory noting that during an interview in october, president biden didn't remember exactly when his son beau died that was something that the president took issue with. >> i know there's some attention paid to some language and report about my recollection of events. there's even reference that i don't remember when my son died how in the hell dare he raise that? >> i don't need anyone. i don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away. passed away >> so this hearing is happening as trump and biden are each set to basically lock up their
2:03 am
respective nominations with several states holding primaries today and we could see another campaign issue back in the spotlight. trump dropped this bombshell in an interview yesterday with cnbc >> so first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting and in terms of also is assessed and the bad management of its adelman is tremendous bad management of entitlements >> republicans will cut social security, medicare to give more tax cuts for the wealthy even this morning, donald trump said, cuts us a security, medicare are on the table again >> all right. joining me now to discuss semaphores. shelby talcott. shelby. good morning. >> nice to see you. let's start with what we're expecting on capitol hill today because robert hur robert hur in an interesting twist, is actually going to be testifying as a private citizen. he officially no longer works for the justice department. but what do you anticipate in terms of the testimony that he's going to offer and the direction that
2:04 am
republicans in particular going to try to go here. >> well, i think obviously republicans are going to hone in on the main thing that a lot of us took away from that report, which is you just noted was the each topic. and this has become i think a really big general election argument because of this report. before the report, there were always questions about biden's age. there are questions about donald trump's age, but it was less of a sort of mainstream issue compared to what we we are now seeing. and so i anticipate that that's going to be one of the main focal points during this conversation. >> how do you anticipate democrats are going to try to mount a defense of the president in this hearing. >> well, we've already seen biden's campaign and biden's allies mount the defense of sure, he's old but he is certainly not incompetent. we saw it in his ad that they recently released earlier this week. so i anticipate that that's going to be the major defense is acknowledging his
2:05 am
age, but arguing that listen, he has been running the country for the past four years. he knows what he's doing. if you talk to people close to him they always say that he is competent behind closed doors, that he is able to make the decisions. and that's going to really i think be highlighted in the coming days and weeks and months as this continues to be a topic of conversation, for sure. so one the other things for the president today is that it's expected there are a couple of primaries. voters will be at the polls. it basically, it's going to confirm what we already know that these two guys are going to be the choices that americans have in november. but it should give them each respective at number of delegates to officially be able to clinch the nomination >> is this. >> how do you see? this milestone? i mean, this is one of the shortest primary campaigns i've covered since i started doing this it's it's really odd, quite frankly, right? because we don't anticipate already being in
2:06 am
general election mode. and even though they haven't technically clenched we are essentially in general election mode. i mean, you've seen the shift in terms of messaging from both biden and trump in the past? few weeks, but i still do think that today is going to be important it might be a little bit more symbolic, but i'm also going to be looking at a that uncommitted protest vote that we talked about a few weeks ago. does that continue to gain momentum? that could mean trouble for joe biden down the line as he tries to get that left-wing back into his good graces. the other thing i'm looking for is georgia black voters. how do these candidates perform in georgia, which is clearly a key state for both of them. they were both there in the past few days. and so there's still important things to take away from today, i think. you. georgia specifically, you're looking for whether there's black turnout in the republican primary mean how, how are you viewing that? because we have seen these numbers change in a way that's potentially very dramatic for democrats in
2:07 am
particular. yeah, i think it's important for both though, because i think joe biden has to show that he can still garner that sect of the base, which he's struggling but i also think donald trump performed relatively well in that state in 2020. and so that's important for him to and it's also important because he's been trying to garner that black vote. he's not just leaving it up to chance that they're not going to turn out for joe biden donald trump's campaign also wants that voter base. and so i think it's equally important to see how, how both sides, how that voter base turns out for each of them. >> briefly, let's touch on what trump said. i mean, he's sort of blew through it a little bit and later tried to clean it up and say, while i was talking about managing waste and social security and medicare. but of course did not take the biden campaign very long to say, hey, look, donald trump said he is going to cut your social security. >> yeah, this has been a topic that the biden campaign has really wanted to hone in on for a while. now, i remember
2:08 am
several months ago during the republican primary the biden campaign was focusing on all of these other candidates, ron desantis, nikki haley, when it comes to do wanting to prioritize their past support for privatizing medicare and social security, wanting entitlement cuts so this has been a topic that the biden campaign thinks that they can win on. and so as soon as donald trump said it, regardless of what his campaigns that afterwards, they saw an opportunity to make this a mainstream topic and i anticipate going forward that this is now going to be one of the big focal points for the biden campaign as they seek to attack donald trump wins on things. >> all right, >> shelby talcott of some four shall we thank you very much for starting us off this morning. i really appreciate it. >> all right. we've got a developing story right now. haiti's prime minister resigns as gang violence stops him from returning home. plus new us intelligence says benjamin netanyahu's ability to lead in israel is in jeopardy. and a cnn exclusive trump employee five speaking out what about

2:15 am
>> we'll see not specifically to this intelligence report itself, but it's certainly something that is shared among many people in other countries in this region, there is no level when it comes to the israeli prime minister. there have been countless and consistent calls for a ceasefire in gaza. and benjamin netanyahu is head of the government that is carrying out that bombardment of gaza, for example, queen rania of jordan spoke to our christiane amanpour and said gaza is a quote a slow motion mass murder of children. now this is something that is felt by many in the region. queen rania, there really vocalizing the perception and of course, as head of if the government and as the demand that is really pushed for this war to continue benjamin netanyahu would be getting that blame. now, certainly within israel as well, he has been blamed for what having predicted the october 7 attack, keys accused

2:29 am
republican led house judiciary committee today hur investstigated president biden's handling of classified documents, and he decided against criminal charges. but the special counsel did deliver a political bombshell in that report last month fighting a less than flattering assessment of president biden's memory >> something that's special counsel's said in his report, is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because in his description, you are a well meaning elderly man with a poor memory. >> i will meeting. and i'm an elderly man and i know what the hell i'm doing. i've been president, i put this country back on its feet all right. >> joining me now is tia mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal-constitution and catherine lucey. she's white house reporter for the wall street journal. ladies. welcome. thank you so much for being here. catherine, let me start with you. i mean, you could see there the president's anger in this assessment. what is the white house preparing for in terms of looking ahead to today?
2:30 am
>> yeah. i was actually in the room that day when he made those remarks that right. >> can you talk good morning? yeah. >> i mean, it was you could feel it in the room. he was really furious. their reaction to this report was intense. they've pushed back very hard on it. we know that there was concern before it came out from the white house i think you're going to see democrats and republicans both going very hard on her and the white house, i think will be prepared if he brings up any new examples. are there any new conversation about the president's well-being or as mental health, i think they'll be very prepared to push back on. >> yeah. tia, what do you expect? >> well, i expect that republicans during this hearing are really going to try to pull out a special counsel, her more fleshing out of his criticism of biden biden's memory. biden's age. they're going to continuously tried to drive that home and they're hoping that his testimony will reinforce that they're looking for sound bites of him saying, you know, basically what he
2:31 am
said in his report. i think democrats on the other hand, are going to try to continue hammering the point that the special counsel decided that there was no criminal intent. there and try to contrast that with what former president trump is facing as far as him his use of classified documents after taking, after leaving office. yeah. i mean, katherine, i guess my one of the big things that i keep coming back to when i think about this is why in the aftermath of the report were they so focused on rebutting specifically this thing around his age as opposed to underscoring repeatedly that like, hey, like they decided they weren't going to prosecute this here well, actually, i think if you watch this unfold, especially that day, initially the white house really did stress that there was no trial and they continue to do that. but the coverage and the attention and the focus around the pieces of their report about his memory. i mean, that line that we just heard read at him about being a well-meaning elderly man with pride so explosive. and there was so much attention on them. and
2:32 am
because those comments, i think really fed into this existing concern about his age that we see again and again and again in polls with voters. so they're just, there was a lot of focus on trying to rebut that. right. i mean, then there's just got to be sort of a level of dread. write about today to you yeah, i think so because again, they were concerned even before the report came out, they felt that the special counsel had gotten personal taken it too >> far in his kind of observations of president biden in his mental acuity. and so i think they're concerned that he's going to double down and give the republicans what they're looking for. >> the one of the interesting quirks is that he's actually going to be doing this as a private citizen. you no longer is employed by the justice department sort of an accident of timing in a way. but still interesting in the context of today >> so >> let's change gears a little bit and talk about biden's. we do expect both of these men to become officially the presumptive nominees of their party. when all the votes are counted at the end of today, it's primary day in georgia
2:33 am
and a couple other states donald trump, the presumably president biden's opponent in the general election my colleague, kaitlan collins and katelyn polantz work together on a story on trump employee number five. and this is of course, on trump's case around mishandling classified documents. and he acknowledged moving. he says unknowingly, these classified documents into a car in mar-a-lago and to be shipped up to new jersey. let's let's look at let's watch a little bit of the interview that he did with kaitlan much you noticed that he had been they were the boxes that were in the indictment. the white bankers boxes. that's what i remember loading. >> and did you have any idea at the time that there was potentially us national security secrets in his box and no clue no i had no clue. i mean, we were just taking them out of the escalate, piling them up. i remember they were all stacked on top of each other and then we're lifting them up to the pilots pretty
2:34 am
remarkable situation here what impact do you think this is going to have on that case >> it's a really >> it's an astounding report in terms of detail, it's in there. we see him talking as we saw about how he saw these boxes being handled. >> it and it really reinforces all these arguments about what trump is doing, how they were handling classified documents. and so i think it could have an impact. we'll have to see obviously how these things play out in court t01, smart strategist, i was talking to in his up covering the new hampshire primary, actually pinpointed this case as the one that might have the greatest political impact on donald trump. and this person was making this argument just because they said it's very straightforward for voters to understand right in a way that election subversion can be politicized in a more complicated way. the details perhaps are not as quite as easy to understand as well if i was in this position jen and i
2:35 am
had a classified document and i did this with it like i should be punished for it what's your sense of the political risks to trump, especially now when you have someone coming out and saying like, look, i, i saw this happen >> yeah, it looks like the political risks are a there's contrasts. you know, if the democrats focus on the she will allegations against trump versus biden, you can say this is how biden reacted to being found to have classified documents versus trump is accused of trying to hide them and hold onto them and lying about them. also, the fact that there are several former trump employees at this point who appeared to be cooperating, may be willing to testify. so again, these are people who appear to be on the inside, formerly loyal to the former president, saying no, i was there, i participated, there was wrongdoing. to your points, so those both could be risks. but again trump is trying to delay the trial i think, you
2:36 am
know, after the election, so that some of these findings aren't brought out before voters ahead of voting right now, of course that's the whole, the whole strategy all the way along it. mitchell, catherine lucey. thank you, guys very much for being with us this morning. >> all right. now this if you were on social media last week, you might have come cross this. these are ai generated images that show donald trump's surrounded by groups of black voters. they were spread by his supporters in an apparent effort to attract the black vote. and again, we should have a big false label across these their ai generated also a reminder if you were in new hampshire on the time of the primary, you might have received this fake robo call back in january. >> listen to it. >> here's a sound like voting this tuesday only enables the republicans in their quest to elect donald trump. again, your vote makes a difference in november, not this tuesday so again, that sounds like president biden, but it was not
2:37 am
president biden. it was fake >> the explosion of artificial intelligence and the new online landscape has made it easier than ever to deceive voters, creating really immense new challenges for campaigns and for all of us trying to figure out what's real and what's not. as we barreled towards the 2024 general election, author and journal journalists sasha eisenberg explores all of this in his new book, the lie detectives in search for playbook for winning elections in the disinformation age. and sasha joins me now. sasha, this book could not be more timely but i am yesterday has covered the usa today, had this as the lead. so this is something that's really broken through with the general populace. how should we be thinking about these challenges? i mean, if you're the average voter, what do you need to be looking for and how our campaign's at trying to talk to people who are getting going to end up also being flooded with this stuff probably quickly, probably on their phones, probably would not. a lot of tools to figure out what's true and what's yeah. >> oh, generally was fascinating to me about this topic is the asymmetry that it
2:38 am
creates. so if, if those things had been 20 years ago on a tv ad or on the front page of the newspaper, political professionals have a way of assessing who saw this. what do we think the impact is the stuff that's moving around digitally is often very difficult to measure and very difficult to anticipate its impact. and so it is forced political professionals have people running campaigns, party committees to a totally revisit a lot of their assumptions about when and how you respond to two attacks. >> so is there a difference between republicans and democrats and how they view this kind of material. >> yeah, i mean, i think republican qin's these days often dispute the whole idea that disinformation is a meaningful category. i think if you talk to many republicans and we see this in the weaponization of government hearings that jim jordan is running the state attorneys general who are suing tech companies over this that what you hear a lot from republicans as disinformation is something that the democrats created so that they could partner with government and academia to
2:39 am
pressure or tech companies to silence conservative voices. and so you have a lot of republican political operatives who are very interested in tracking what people are saying online, but they don't really buy the idea that this is a meaningful category. >> how did, but how do they square that? when i mean, if somebody were to make fake a robocall of donald trump, i mean, they they just don't see that as a problem. >> like they think that the term does information is, is a tool that democrats use silence conserves, and also sort of as an excuse post 2016 to two evade sort of blame for running that elections. i think that's what democrats, i mean, it's sort of what democrats probably say an inverse about republicans claiming election fraud, right? this is a thing that you use as a crutch to claim that you were sort of unfairly attacked. i think what we are seeing now is that republicans are very interested today it in investigating the way that tech companies have been forced. there content moderation policies. and it has
2:40 am
made the tech companies far more reticent to be enforcing even rules that they themselves have adopted to moderate anything at all. >> fair? >> for democrats if you're president biden's campaign, what are you doing like right now to combat what misinformation are you paying attention to? what are you ignoring? you obviously can't deal with all of it. i mean, it's like we're inundated. what is there strategy? >> their theory is to focus on what they call market moving disinformation. so lots of people relying on the internet all the time let's be are lying about joe biden all the time. much of it is happening in corners of the internet with people who support donald trump are not persuadable voters they, in 2020, i go into a lot of detail about this research project that they did to identify, not just which disinformation narratives have the biggest reach, but which were most likely to affect the opinion of the small share of voters who are actually persuadable. one thing that they found was that the suffocated to his age was a real electoral problem because not because voters were worried
2:41 am
about biden's physical fitness, but because they saw was like a fundamentally weak political figure, that this was a way of getting into that at the same time, then see the hunter biden stuff is it's a problem even though a lot of people knew about it, voters did not see is being driven by personal financial interests. and so what they are looking at is to identify the underlying anxieties and not end up in a position where they are chasing a piece of content every day when a new deep fake pops up or a new conspiracy theory. but understanding what the underlying anxiety of voters is that those disinformation narratives are playing two and address the anxiety without, without sort of playing whack-a-mole with the content. >> yeah, really interesting. all right. >> the book is the lie, detectives and it is on sale today, right? >> on sale today. >> check it out. sasha has done an incredible amount of excellent reporting over the years. i promise it's worth it and sasha is going to hang around with us and talking with our panel shortly. coming up next here, new york giants fans see their superstar are running

2:47 am
to be president joining me now is democratic congresswoman madeleine dean of pennsylvania, congresswoman, wonderful to see you. thank you so much for being here. >> good to be with you. >> what do you expect today from the special counsel and how do you view this in terms of his decision to put this claim into the the about the president's fitness? >> well, actually, i discount that because the report really is a detailed declination. his decision not to prosecute the president for any wrongdoing in connection with classified documents. that's the takeaway. the gratuitous throwing in of his sympathetic older man with the poor memory. it was completely gratuitous. what i do think we have to focus on and i'm not going to focus on that in my own questioning. is, what did he find about the behavior of vice then vice president biden in terms of classified documents and contrast it completely with what we know about the behavior of the former president donald trump in terms of obstruction
2:48 am
taking classified documents back and forth from his properties, taking them directly out of the white house, and then trying to obstruct the reclaiming of those documents. >> what do you think republicans are looking to get out of her today? >> how do you >> think that contributes to their investigations overall? >> well, you've seen their investigations have been so inept, so week coming up with nothing month after month, year after year. i'm sure they will attempt to make this a political theater. i'm sure they will attempt to make it a hit on the president. but as we saw last week in the state of the union, the president is very up to the task and very up to the republican majority in congress. >> how would you assess the biden team's handling of and we know voters think that this is an issue, right? like they think his age is an issue. if you talk to people, smart people who are looking at the numbers, they see it as an issue because because it presents biden as a weak
2:49 am
leader, not necessarily because of his health challenges what do you hear from voters in pennsylvania? you're from a swing state from like, if not, it's like the critical swing area, right? and it's going to decide this year i'm going to be the keystone state again. >> i believe it, yes. >> i mean, especially if you look at how much time you spent there, right. what do you hear? from voters there about their concerns? and do you think the campaign is doing what they need to do to try to convince people that he's up to the task, that he's not a weak leader. >> what my constituents tell me is, they recognize he's an older man, but so is donald trump. that's not what they're judging him on there, judging these two men by their past performance. we've seen for years donald trump and the chaos and corruption and criminality that, that in gendered. and they see in mr. biden, somebody who is incredibly capable of the character that they admire, person after person will say to meet, remember the days when we would say, we hope our son or daughter could grow up to be president because of the character of the president that's what they see in joe biden, compassion, character
2:50 am
capabilities. look at all the great stuff we got accomplished last congress. transformational legislation. so this is a man of experience and wisdom, not just age >> the president has made clear in his approach. and if you listen to the way, honestly, he talks about any of this, that democracy is a critical piece of his reason for running for reelection, of the way he looks at the world. but there are some in the party who think that he needs to be more focused on kitchen table issues that that should be the top-line message out of the gate for, democrats, what do you think is the winning message in your district? in montgomery county, pennsylvania is it democracy first or is it the economy first? i think you have to do both. i think i've heard the president do just that. it's what i say to my constituents that we have to take a look at how they're feeling. how does their pocketbook feel to them. we know that inflation has been very, very hard on folks. but look at where we are. we've
2:51 am
dropped from 9% inflation down to 3%. what people in my district say some things are still too costly, whether it's a cost of housing, the cost of food, those things are still too costly inflation is continuing to come down. but at the same time we cannot forget that democracy is on the line january 6 was not just an ordinary day here in washington, dc. and so the president knows, we have democracy that, that must be tended to. it's not a given. we are citizens, we have to tend to this democracy you also, on a different topic, you were recently on a codel to israel's my understanding, yes. i know that there's a significant jewish population in the philadelphia suburbs. that's right as well. and yet you've called for a ceasefire based on a bilateral ceasefire. what you've seen you helped, me understand why you made that call. and how you think the politics of this are affecting
2:52 am
the president's support and potential for reelection in the fall. >> thank you for asking. i've been to the to israel twice since october the seventh. i was there five weeks in met with mr. netanyahu, met with hostile such families. i way that where this each day to recall that we still have hostages that have been held, i need the world. i hope the world will come around and demand of hamas ceasefire, return the hostages, allow humanitarian aid. and it was heartbreaking this last trip six of us were there six members of congress were there. we visited the nova fields. the fields covered with poppies and now with little trees symbolizing each of the young people slaughtered. there we visited kibbutz be'eri, were more than 100 people were killed in the most brutal of ways, burned out of their houses, shot in their safe rooms. just absolutely despicable as they waited hours for any kind of rescue. we met with palestinians, we met with
2:53 am
government officials on both sides. and so i have to say that what i've found is what is unacceptable is number one, we have to remember what happened to israel. it must never happen again israel has the right and responsibility to secure its land and have its sovereignty. but the suffering in gaza is too great. 30, more than 30,000 people are dead. children in the rubble, women giving birth by caesarean section without anesthesia. >> people >> starving, and humanitarian aid inadequately getting in, even as people on the ground are desperately trying to save lives all right. >> congresswoman madeline dean. thank you very much. should spend some time with us this morning and it will be back to join our panel. thank you for that time now for sports and the nba, mavericks star luka doncic, this historic run of offense ended against the bulls, but it wasn't for lack of trying carolyn manno how has this morning's bleacher report, carolyn, good morning. good morning. luke has been on another planet, kasie, six
