thank you. >> welcome. tonight, the future of the u.s. border crisis and allies across the world rests with the u.s. senate, which earlier today blocked a bipartisan bill to address immigration and ukraine funding and is now frozen while considering what happens next. >> this follows an unusual day in the house yesterday where gop leadership lost votes on articles of impeachment against the homeland security secretary. our congressional correspondent has been watching it all unfold. senate republicans and five democrats blocked the border compromise today in the senate. the day is not over yet. could any part of this compromise survive? >> that is the question right now. democrats are trying to salvage the foreign aid portion of the bill. i want to tell you where we are right now by showing you.

let's take a look at the senate floor right now. you concealments nothing happening. staffers and a few senators. that is because we are waiting to see if republicans and democrats will agree on a way forward. the question is whether they can actually get to this ukraine aid bill. senator schumer this morning talk to us and said he is hopeful. he wants it to pass the senate so it can put pressure on the house. >> the majority of republicans in the house said they wanted to do ukraine, israel. we hope that if we pass it in the senate, the house will rise to the occasion. the house is in chaos. it does not behoove the speaker to block everything because 30 hard right people will not cast a vote. >> if this bill moves forward, we will break down what is in it. right now i want to talk about where we are. i tried very hard not to harm

people. but i want to try to explain the strange paradox we are in right now. let's take a look. there is this bloc from mostly senate republicans today and four democrats. they offered this idea of a bill without the border policy in it, just the foreign aid. the problem is the same republicans who are blocking the bigger deal want their own border policy ideas in this. essentially what is going on is republicans do not agree amongst themselves of what this bill should look like. they are holding a lot of things up. senator mcconnell and senator schumer are trying to work out if they can just bring up enough different ideas to the floor to move anything forward. it is minute by minute and it could be a long night. >> in the lower chamber yesterday, the house gop basically tripped at the finish line to try to bring articles of

impeachment against the dhs secretary. what does it say about the capacity to pass anything or govern it the most basic level? >> an extraordinary sign that the house actually is not able to govern right now under republicans doing their key priorities. the impeachment was a roof -- priority. but they failed on that vote. it was dramatic. house republicans were surprised when a democrat who had been in surgery came to the house floor. if that is the reason your boat fails, if you are not counting all the potential democratic votes, you have a larger problem. they failed to fund israel aid. republicans cannot get enough votes for that. house speaker mike johnson knew he had a lot of questions hovering over him and he spoke to repeated -- reporters about what happened. >> we believe in a time of divided government. every vote counts. sometimes when you are counting boats and they show up, that

changes the equation. the job will be done. >> what is interesting is he told us that they are committed to bring back the impeachment of secretary mae argus in the -- mayorkas in the future. senator rick scott of florida said he spoke to mike johnson and johnson said a larger aid packages dead. there is a lot of confusion and questions. i have a very large capacity for covering legislative nonsense and irrationality but this week has given even me a headache. the stakes are code lehigh. >> how are voters seeing all of this? >> let's look at some results from some of the latest polls on who they think handles immigration better. it may not be a surprise that registered voters said it is republicans.

the next highest category was neither party can handle it better. this is important because the politics here are what is driving things for republicans. they see immigration and the border that is a key issue helping them at the polls. if you ask about approval of members of congress, let's look at what registered voters said. who do they approve better? voters feel better about democrats in congress. neither getting a majority. democrats edged out republicans. here is the important part to let's look at how each parties voters look at their own members. if you ask democratic voters, 77% say yes. republican voters when asked about republicans in congress, barely a majority even approves of members of congress. who do republican voters approve of? 84% favorable for donald trump.

that is the problem for republicans here. their own voters do not like them. they like donald trump. they continue to try to be donald trump at they are not. they're not able to come up with any formula that works. the result is this legislative gridlock on very big issues. >> breaking it all down for us. thank you very much. right after senate republicans locked that package -- blcoked that package, i spoke with senator joe manchin. welcome. >> good to be with you. thank you for having me. >> i want to start with your assessment of what happened in the senate today. the gop initially said it wanted this deal. what do you see as the impact and the implications and the unraveling of what would've been the most significant immigration law in decades? >> i cannot even describe. i have no description of what i witnessed today on the floor of the senate. the only thing i can tell you is

it reaffirms my decision to not run again because i have come to the conclusion you are not going to fix washington with the political discourse and division that we have here. i will do everything i can going around the country trying to get people to understand that the pressure has to be put on. it is about our country, not you or the party. the people who are worried about themselves and the party they represent, that should be immaterial concerning the job you have to do. protecting and defending the constitution and healing our country. 18,000 border patrol agents have supported this piece of legislation. not for political reasons. these are people who are totally opposed to joe biden's handling of the borders since day one. they have now said this is the most transformative piece of legislation they have seen that would secure our border.

and then all of a sudden because of politics, it fell apart. >> at the moment it appears emergency aid for ukraine, israel, and the indo pacific region is in limbo as well. absent action from congress, is there any other way that weapons and emergency aid can be delivered to ukraine? >> we are trying everything humanly possible. i would like to think that people can come to their senses. ukraine desperately needs our support. we need ukraine to win this fight. stop russia. they have been unbelievable what they have been able to do and the damage they have been able to show the vulnerabilities of russia, which i think has been helpful when you see those bad actors we have around the world that would like to have another movement. we have countries that we have foreign concerns, russia, china, north korea, iran. to give them any more validity

had to show ukraine can do what they can by themselves, and we are not going to be there for them, shame on anybody who would not be able to continue to support ukraine to have a victorious outcome. unbelievable. >> i want to return to what he said about how this chaos on the hill reaffirms your decision to not seek reelection. in december you said you were launching a tour to see if there is a national movement toward a third-party ticket. it has been a couple of months. what have you decided? >> i have said this, super tuesday in march will tell you what we have. will we have what we have now? have they changed their positions at all? can the grand old party become grand again? can a democratic party become a sensible party? or will they stay in their respective corners, extreme left and extreme right we basically have radical positions that they

are trying to mainstream. they are weaponizing the political process in america. they are making people pick a side. whatever side you pick, the other side is supposed to be your enemy. i can assure you, the other side is not my enemy. that is my colleague. we might have differences, we might be opponents on different types of subject matters, but we should always be working to strengthen and make our country better. i can show you where the enemy is. around the country or around the world. it is not fellow americans. we are allowing that to be weaponized. we have to stop that. it will not be done here so i will be talking. there are other good people. hopefully get more people involved and see what happens. >> the dynamics of the race will not likely change between now and super tuesday. donald trump will likely emerge as the republican nominee. what more are you waiting for? >> that is exactly what we will

end up with. i will see if there is any kind of opening. a third-party that can truly be competitive and not be a spoiler. that is another scenario. no one knows about that and who those people would be. i believe the country is ready for a person who has been identified as a democrat or a republican at one time in their life. different party affiliations at one time that are not going to subscribe to the extremes of both parties and can come together as a team to run our country and put it back together so we can continue to be the great united states of america and not let ourselves be the divided states of america. we will be looking for that. >> with that candidate to be you? >> they could be me or any other people. there are a lot of good people that have left this body because of what they saw happen today, they could not take it anymore. i cannot either. >> no labels own polling from last year shows that donald trump against when a moderate independent candidate is

included in the race. he gets a four point gain. is there a way to be a third-party candidate without being a spoiler? history suggests that there is not. >> i have never been a spoiler in my life and i will not start now. i will not handicap any set of the other. we have to see clear evidence of similar opportunity. that we can help solidify and unite our country. >> cnn reported that a joe biden health care or a donald trump conviction could give you an opening to run as an independent. is that the case? >> there are a lot of things like to give myself or other people. i do not have a burning desire. i am not out campaigning. i will sacrifice anything i possibly can to save and protect my country and bring it together. i believe we are dangerously, after today's vote, on the most dangerous crisis we have facing

us which is the unsecured border. we have people opposed to a fix. the republicans who have identified the problem and have worked together and we got a compromise. the border security bill that we had in front of us today. they walked away from it because of the politics. that is what is wrong. that is what we should be concerned about. >> there certainly democrats who will hear you say that and say that is why you are needed in the senate. you are only -- the only democrat who can win statewide election in west virginia. the democrats need you there. >> i have been here 14 years. i have been in public service for 42 years. i have given everything i have to represent the great state of west virginia and defend the constitution.

i will continue. it cannot be fixed here. the business of politics and the democratic party and republican party, the amount of money that comes in by fighting for your own identity and party, is not but we need for our country. the business model is so profitable. unless the people demand changes, it will not happen. >> that was joe manchin. thank you for your time. ♪ >> in the days other headlines, a new wave of russian missiles and drones struck six regions across ukraine and killed at least five civilians. it targeted three major cities, including kyiv. attacks gathered several floors

would have paused the war in exchange for releasing israeli hostages over the next few months. the u.s. secretary of state said there was still room for negotiation. we examine the state of diplomacy and what it means for u.s. efforts in the region. >> at a press conference in jerusalem today, netanyahu reiterated his long-standing goals for the war. he said the israeli defense forces could achieve absolute victory in a matter of months. >> the continuation of military pressure is the necessary condition for the release of the hostages. surrendering to the manse will invite another massacre. a major disaster that nobody wants to accept. >> the original proposal called for a six-week pause to release older women and children first and then a promise of more releases of soldiers and the bodies of hostages who died in captivity. the counterproposal goes further, demanding an israeli

withdrawal from populated areas and then from gaza completely. it also demands reconstruction. and the understanding that hamas would remain in power. the u.s. has helped a pause in the war could spark broader regional progress. secretary blinken said talks of the hostages will continue. >> there are some clearing nonstarter is in the response. we do believe it creates space for an agreement to be reached. >> netanyahu made clear that the war would continue. the israeli military operation would extend into rafa. where many people are sheltering. where do things stand? for that, we get a couple of views. he is now the vice president for studies at the carnegie endowment for international peace.

and a longtime middle east peace negotiator for republican and democratic administrations. thank you. what is your reaction to what that and yahoo! said -- benjamin netanyahu said? >> he had a couple of audiences in mind. one was the head of the military wing in gaza. the other audience was probably the right wing of his own coalition, where he knows they are threatening to break the government that he looks like he is prepared to end the war or get into much to hamas. what he wanted to signal was you are asking to end the war and stay in power? i am not excepting that. this was his way of the dinning the readiness to signal that he would negotiate hard. i would say the hamas counterproposal is itself a type

of first counterproposal designed to produce a negotiation. i don't think there was any hamas expectation that the israelis would accept something like this. >> is this a signal that he will negotiate? >> if he says the war will not in the until he kills hamas leaders, from the point of view of hamas, why should they agree to the release of hostages? and agreed to whatever? a truce of two or three months and after that they get bombed again? if this is the real position of mr. netanyahu, this is a nonstarter. secretary blinken talked about the hamas position being a nonstarter. i see the israeli one being a nonstarter. i think the priority today has to be a permanent and to the war -- end to the war after 27,000

people have been killed. they keep talking about truces that >> >> are not better. is this his actual position or public stance? or is this a doom to the effort to end of the war? >> i think it is a negotiating posture. i also think we have two irreconcilable positions. the hamas position is they want an end to the war and they want to remain in power. the israeli position is at the end of the day, hamas will not be in power. i think the actual position of the israeli side should be the demilitarization of gaza and the certainty that it cannot be re-militarized. you can stop -- tie reconstruction to the militarization. they will not be able to eliminate hamas.

it is embedded sociologically and psychologically in gaza. hamas not being in power and demilitarized, those are objectives that could be achieved. as the focus turns to that, the gaps between the two sides which seem so irreconcilable seen bridget will -- bridgeable. >> i don't think gaza is the end gam if we talk about the packagee. a lot of these questions that are difficult to answer today become easier to answer. are we serious about finally ending the occupation and establishing a two state solution as the u.s. says it is? hamas has to become a political force. we have seen this in ireland and in many countries across the

world. we have seen organizations that were called terrorists become political forces. today the palestinian polls are clear. 60% want hamas to stay in gaza and rule over gaza after the war. these are numbers that cannot be ignored. the question is, how do we give these people a political horizon so that they do not believe in armed resistance but they do believe that finally a process can lead to the end of the occupation? >> let's use that occasion to zoom out. the u.s. says a temporary pause can lead to larger discussions about what our guest just said. the future governance of gaza and normalization between israel and saudi arabia leading to a two state solution. is that the correct approach? >> i think it is a logical one.

i think he could be the right one. obviously it is not just that the devils are in the details. the israeli public was traumatized by october 7. they fear that hamas will come to dominate a palestinian state. hamas does not accept the two state outcome. this was the case throughout the 1990's. every time we were making progress, we had a hamas bombing. they reject israel's existence. the question is do you have a palestinian national movement that will be dominated by those and demonstrate they are controlled by that movement that is able to live with israel as a nationstate? >> if that becomes very clear, then you can get a palestinian state. you will not have peace until you have the end of an occupation. there has to be accountability on both sides. the israeli side needs to show they are prepared to live with a palestinian state.

the palestinians will have to demonstrate that they reject those who reject the idea of two states. >> is the palestinian leadership that the u.s. and region is working on today that could foresee that future that we just imagined? >> of course. one of them is in prison. he is ready for a compromise. >> israel tried and convicted him of terrorist actions 20 years ago. he is one of the most popular palestinian leaders today. >> absolutely. we talk about ideology. what about members of the israeli cabinet today who are openly calling for the expulsion of palestinians? ideologies exist on both sides. they do not believe there is a partner on the others. the only way we can change the mindset is if we offer a serious process.

that ends the occupation. if we do that, i do believe we can change the mindset of both palestinians and israelis. today we cannot have the extremist ideology on both sides dictate the outcome. >> if i can ask you to turn to an incident this afternoon in baghdad. the u.s. military announced it took a drone strike that killed one of the leaders of the pro-romney and militias in iraq -- pro-iranian militias in iraq. could this kind of attack end attacks by those militias on u.s. service members? >> it is clear that the administration has made it a decision that one of the thing it needs to do is a threshold was crossed with three americans were killed.

when that happens, the american response will be disproportionate to what we have seen before. the u.s. is trying to change the calculus by showing those who are doing this that they are playing with fire. >> does this kind of strike change the calculus? >> i still think both are not interested in fighting. i think what we have seen from iran and the u.s. are tactical engagements. i do not think they are going to widen the conflict. >> thank you very much to both. >> thank you. >> that u.s. air strike in baghdad tonight killed the leader of a group who struck american forces for years and was the target of the first american strikes last friday. another group claimed no connection to the attacks. our special correspondent traveled to the side of those

airstrikes and met members of this other paramilitary group for this exclusive report. >> conflict is spreading through the middle east. another front has claimed three american and many more iraqi lives. we have been driving for hours into the desert. this is located near the border with syria. it has been heavily hit by american airstrikes. they were the biden administration's response to a drone attack that killed three servicemembers. but who exactly did they hit? this stretch of barren land has been carved up between a number of armed actors jostling for power and control over the strategic border. it is a small town left abandoned since the war with isis. an umbrella group of

paramilitary forces formed to fight isis beginning in 2014. they are now officially part of the security forces. he witnessed the attacks. he tells me that the first missile struck the military hospital. >> a few rockets at the hospital. five people were inside. all of them were killed. >> an ambulance still lies beneath the rubble. >> they targeted other places in the compound so anybody who get injured -- was injured could not get medical care. >> you think it was on purpose? >> yes. whilst with a start with the hospital? >> this is the first time this brigade was targeted by the u.s.. many are struggling to understand why. it is not part of an entity that makes another secret group

called the islamic resistance, which has claimed responsibility for attacking american troops. >> we do not have anything to do with the attacks. they cannot get to those who carry out the attacks so they target those protecting the borders of the country. >> the group believed responsible, i've visited their bases. they are the most powerful of the resistance. part of it has been incorporated into a larger group. it tries to use this status to shield itself from american retaliation. the u.s. has designated them and other members of the resistance terrorist organizations.

the targeting of this brigade raises questions about these claims and the accuracy of the intelligence. the other possibility is that the u.s. has broadened its definition of what it regards as a legitimate target to all of it. under heavy guard, they inspect the aftermath of the strikes. he heads to brigade. he tells me that these installations have never been used to launch attacks on american forces. >> this place and this entire sector falls under my responsibility. there been no aggressive activities toward american forces. we take our orders from the prime minister. >> there are accusations against you that this brigade enabled

others to launch attacks against americans. >> first of all, and hope the u.s. will reveal one piece of evidence if there is support. there was no leadership here. or people with ties to foreign countries or who took part on strikes on coalition forces. >> you can say that your brigade has never attacked american forces? >> absolutely not and we will not. >> what is your message to the american government? >> let them review their accounts and their agents to transmit information. the information they have received is false. they should verify that information because there is innocent people here. >> the white house gave plenty of advanced warning. that gave them time to vacate their facilities. and left others to pay the price. including civilians.

we drive on words to where american strikes targeted the hezbollah base. there i met someone whose younger brother was killed when a missile fell on the family home. >> i was here when it happened. i carried my brother's body away with my own hands. it belongs to us. >> the security camera captured the impact. the sobs of desperate relatives. it is unclear whether this was a direct hit from an american warplane or a secondary explosion from weapons that caught fire. who do you think bears the responsibility for this? >> in the first place, the americans. of course the strike was the reaction to the attack on them.

but they bombed civilians. not one member of hezbollah was killed. they knew there was ammunition in the basin that the civilians would be affected. >> people gathered to pay their respects for the dead. many cd strikes not as self-defense but as yet another violation of their sovereignty. a tribal leader fears worse is yet to come. >> perhaps if things continue to develop like this with action and reaction by the parties involved, it may lead to an unpredictable regional war. >> i ask him what the solution is to prevent further escalation. >> the solution to the solution is the palestinian issue. an independent palestinian state with full sovereignty will give an opportunity for security and peace within the entire region. >> by striking here, many think that the u.s. is fueling anger

group of people engage together to resist the power of the federal government by force. with a large public aim. overturning an alleged -- a legitimate election. they invaded the u.s. capitol, broke down its doors, windows. it led to deaths. all sorts of injuries. it was a miracle there were not more guns involved. >> last december in colorado was the first time a group of voters successfully won a case against trump. even though his legal team argued he was simply exercising his right to question the election and never urged anybody to commit violence.
