r investments) at fisher investments, we're clearly different.

we have a critical bow to fund the government happening in the next hour. and lawmakers to avoid a partial shutdown by midnight? time is running out for donald trump, new details on his scramble to find $64 million as authority teams threaten to seize his real estate. we begin with breaking news out of the united nations this morning. the un security council voted against a us-led resolution, calling for an immediate cease- fire in gaza, with vetoes from russia and china. this was the first time that

the u.s. had backed you and calls for cease-fires in the war. it comes with the secretary of state in israel meeting with prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and the war cabinet. as tensions remain high between the israeli premise from the white house. fragile diplomacy as israel sustains its days long assault on the hospital in gaza. ralph sanchez joins us now. we have the former deputy director secretary of state. what is the response to the united nations boat? >> we have not seen any report from the israeli government yet. you can imagine that's for benjamin netanyahu, it is not a bad thing that they remain paralyzed, unable to cause for cease-fire prime minister benjamin netanyahu insisted to antony blinken in israel today

, that he will push ahead with an attack on the city in southern gaza where more than 1 million palestinians are sheltering. he says it's necessary to destroy hamas. he is not heeding the warnings from the u.s. that it will not support any large-scale operation in rafah. in terms of what happened at the security council, there were 11 votes in favor. that is enough to pass the resolution. that was put forward by the united states, calling for an immediate cease-fire, tied to the release of those hostages being held by hamas. it was vetoed by both russia and china, permanent members of the security council. another boat came from algeria, the arab state. it has been representing the palestinians at the security council throughout the crisis. the russian ambassador to the united nations was scathing

about this american resolution, calling it an empty, rhetorical exercise. while it uses the words, immediate cease-fire, would not actually put a cease-fire into effect. it would be tied to the ongoing negotiations going now in qatar. they said they were two cynical reasons for russia and china devoted his resolution. the first? both were unwilling to acknowledge the hamas atrocities committed on october 7 and the second was simply that this was a resolution penned by the united states revisit russia and china would rather the the u.s. fail then see the un security council succeed. to make this resolution clearly marked a shift in white house policy toward israel and the war. what changed?

still this does represent a remarkable shift. it is a sign the biden administration has gone this far to find common ground. think of how this quantifies where the u.s. dance on the cease-fire resolution, in the past, vetoing the resolutions three times, that did not have a specific timeline. the u.s. is now introducing its own efforts, trying to get a hostage deal and try to get the immediate cease-fire for at least six weeks. the backdrop of the us-led effort is the worsening humanitarian crisis in gaza. that is what is at the heart of this resolution. the u.s. has been trying the soft pressure approach on prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and the israelis , while doing a delicate dance of try to stress israel's right to defend itself. also, pressuring them to do more to protect civilians in gaza to get more

humanitarian aid into gaza. we have seen the u.s. resort to its own efforts to do that with the air drops and now the construction by the u.s. military of the floating peer off the coast of gaza. over the past few months, we saw the township to a much sharper and much more critical tone when speaking about the israelis and the prime minister's handling of the war, as he faces his own political backlash in the u.s. over his handling of the war. >> relatively free of the u.s. ambassador to the un's reaction that was just mentioned. >> russia and china will give you all sorts of explanations for its obstruction. russia and china simply did not want to vote for a resolution that was penned by the united states. it would rather see us fail then to see this counsel succeed. >> look, this resolution, the united states is shifting its

position on something. it did tie any cease-fire to the release of those hostages. there are more than 100 hostages that are still in the hands of hamas. is this enough? the boat did not succeed, but the resolution that was presented by the u.s., is that enough to make a difference? >> this veto is deplorable. with the russians and chinese has done is veto the process that is currently underway to try to bring home to the conflict and try to provide humanitarian relief for the palestinians and get the israeli hostages out. what they are saying is they don't want this practical process. what ambassador greenfield said, it is a thumb in the eye of that united states. it harkens back to cold war dynamics. when those dynamics were really in play, did not help advance peace. it is very unfortunate. i do think the message sent by

the united states, by us leading in this drafting and in this push to try to get a pass, sends a signal to the region, regardless of it not passing today, sends a signal to our allies in the region itself that the united states is serious about trying to get a calm period. it gives support to the negotiators as they go about trying to get that deal done. >> am wondering, in your experience, there has been nothing but consistency on the part of the secretary of state and the president of the united states. they have been consistent and going forward, how does such a difficult process, the process of dealing with israel and hamas, with qatar common 100 hostages still in the hands of hamas, how does this process go forward with so many obstacles still in play?

>> what we are seeing now is a whole of government approach. it is really taking hold. we have secretary antony blinken and the cia director burns as well, the defense department is an action throughout this process. next week there will be meetings at the white house. how this unfolds is that the entirety of the united government is fully engaged, diplomatically and with military supports, and him public diplomacy to try to bring this conflict down to an end where is really so feel more secure and palestinian needs are met. this will dominate for the next month. this administration, across all cabinet agencies, that is how we get this resolved. it will not be one phone call or one meeting, or one cabinet secretary. this is a whole of government effort. >> what is the secretary of

state's day like today in the region? any progress on the hostages? or getting some possibility of them receiving critical needs like medicine and food? >> secretary of state antony blinken is having a public in israel. we saw him meeting prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier this morning. he met with the israeli war cabinet. he is a jewel to fly back to the united states relatively soon. just a little while after that meeting, prime minister benjamin netanyahu came out said, while he was asked the united, he is grateful for american support throughout the war, there is a fundamental disagreement about going into rafah and israel is determined to go in. israel will do that on its own , if need be. we have heard from the secretary to the middle east. he believes that the gaps between israel and hamas that the negotiations are narrowing the person that will have the real insight on that is the man

who usually stays in the shadows, the cia director, bill burns. he is in qatar meeting with his counterpart from mossad and the leader of egyptian intelligence. he is there trying to jumpstart these negotiations, trying to get this over the line. the u.s. sees a hostage deal as the key missing piece to getting a cease-fire in place, getting a badly needed humanitarian aid into gaza, where famine is imminent. at this point, there is no sign of a breakthrough of those talks. give us a better perspective as to how the situation on the ground in gaza is at this moment. it is more dire by the hour. you heard the secretary say, throughout his trip that 100% of the people in gaza, all 2.2 million residents are now facing acute hunger shortages.

in the north of gaza, it is now catastrophic levels of hunger. we are now seeing children dying in northern gaza from combinations of malnutrition and dehydration. the fear is, those numbers are only going to grow. the israelis say there is no limits on the amount of food that they are allowing into gaza. they facilitated air drops by the united states and other nations. they are allowing food to come in by c as well. what you are hearing from the un and a number of governments is that the israeli restrictions are still too onerous. there is a patchwork of restrictions that is enforced in a shifting manner. there is no single, coherent set of rules to follow. and simply not enough food is getting in. the longer this goes on, the more grim the situation will

get. and the more people are going to die, beginning with the little children. >> what an extraordinarily horrendous situation, the millions of people of gaza are suffering under. it is a war, started by hamas against israel on october 7. how do you see this ending, when you still have hamas very much in control of parts of gaza? >> it is very grim. this is where, unfortunately, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has failed. he has failed to listen to the united states and our wisdom. there is a lot of experience there with secretary austin in particular, and director burns. they all went through the iraq period. i served at the state department during the iraq war. we learned a lot of hard lessons from that.

one of the things that we learned was that decapitating the other regime does not mean victory. we saw an insurgency grow out of a failed state dynamic after saddam hussein was deposed. that insurgency grew. it maintained itself for years. that was the cataclysmic iraq war that we all know too well. israel is setting yourself up for the same outcome in gaza. that is what is heartbreaking. we saw hamas retake the al shafi hospital after it had been booted out. why? because they can. that is what an insurgency does. i hope that the prime minister gets some wisdom and lessons to the wisdom that we are providing, things about the day after plan. the day after plan is not a gift. it is a practical, self preservation program for maintaining security and israel's long-term security and palestinian security as well.

absent that, we will see the kinds of horrific photos and pictures that you are seeing now and the statements of a failed date and mass starvation and insecurity for years to come. to change the tactics. they have to change the strategy. they have to start taking seriously the idea of the day after plan and implement that. >> thank you so very much for being with us this morning. we really appreciate it. the clock is ticking to avoid a partial government shutdown at midnight tonight, with a radical boat in the next hour. also another deadline for donald trump, on monday. where will he find the $464 million needed to hand in on monday? we have new video showing hundreds of migrants forcing their way through razor wire fence outside of el paso. the intensifying focus on the border as questions remain about a texas law is in legal limbo. we are back in 60 seconds on msnbc.

msnbc. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia.

it is down to the wire in washington where the house is such a boat in the next hour on their spending bills, release yesterday to avoid a government shutdown. they have less than 14 hours to get a pass in the house and the senate and signed by the president. julie joins us from capitol hill, also with us, our data correspondent. does everything has to go to plan to get this done in time? how much time is left for this? >> reporter: that is such a good question. we really have until midnight tonight to get this done. the bill was released in the middle of the night, yesterday. all of this is moving kind of quickly. we do expect to vote in the house to start in the next hour. last hour, you have the freedom caucus, the hard-line group of republicans in the house, trying to pressure members to oppose this bill. every vote really does count. i'm told that the speakers team has been tracking this super

closely. the margins will be thai. united selected to get a majority of the majority like they got last time two weeks ago and they voted for the other six government funding bills. they do expect some republicans to peel away from that. we know democrats will lose a couple of votes as well, especially when it comes to the underfunding. that is not included at all. the humanitarian aid agency that has been under controversy. democrats maintain it is the only source of lifeline and hope for civilians in gaza. the funding is out of the bill. republicans are disappointed by the lack of border policies included in this measure. overall, you have something where republicans and democrats scored moderate wins and losses. nobody really got anything that they wanted on partisan lines. when it clears in the house, which we expect will in the next hour, the senate will receive the bill. the 1000 page bill by midday, and no time agreement yet. that could come down under the wire as well.

there is a two-week recess around the corner. certainly, that is healing most lawmakers want to get out of town quick and finish off the appropriations process that has been very daunting for most members this year. remind us of the impact on ordinary people of congress fails to pass the deal by midnight or sometime after that? >> as julie outlined, it is uncertain if we will face a government shutdown. here are the stakes. march 22, that is today. this is 11:59 in terms of a shutout beginning. i would point out, it would be a minimal impact unless the deal extends past sunday. there's not a lot of interface happening with the government during the weekend. it would not be until monday that we would the impact, if there is not agreement. here are the six parts of the government that would be impacted. defense, financial services, the legislative branch, state and foreign operations. it is these two, homeland

security, labor, health, and human services, education. if we impact the morse pacific samples of how this could happen, federal workers would go unpaid. even those deemed essential when i be paid. border patrol, active duty service members, tsa and the irs. we have 60,000 workers that could face furloughs into next week during what is the middle of tax filing season. where the department of education, 89% would be furloughed. a lot of prospective college students are headed into higher education. they are facing delays on letters. you don't know how much they will have in terms of financial aid. one last thing i will leave you with is what happened during the last down in 2019. there were worker no-shows. essential workers had, if i'm not going to get paid, maybe i just won't show up. at tsa, takes a few traffic control operators to not show up to choke up operations at an airport. we lost $11 billion loss. 3 billion was lost permanently.

for what it's worth, the stock market did not seem to care. markets went up 10%. thank you both so very much. the texas medical board's meeting today to discuss exceptions to the near-total abortion ban. the board's agenda said it will consider possible axonal rules regarding exceptions to the ban on abortions. taxes drew national attention over a lawsuit from an abortion ban. her doctor says her fetus was unable to survive a rare disorder. carrying two term would put her life at risk. the state supreme court ruled she did not meet the standards for an exception. she eventually left the state for the procedure. next, the fast approaching munley monday deadline for donald trump to find $464 million. the judge in his both broad trial is now asking for something from the trump

the judge is now asking the trump organization to keep the clover court closely informed. the former president says he has big portion of in cash. he wrote, through hard work, talent, luck, currently have almost $500 million in cash. i would bring in our news correspondent, and former federal prosecutor. the deadline is monday, it is friday. our efforts to secure the money going? first of all, the true social post you read, that we all woke up to this morning, completely undercuts what donald trump's own attorneys wrote to an appeals court on monday, and asking them to effectively stay and delay him having to put forward that type of cash, or the appeal bond. in the filing earlier this week, his attorney said, they do not have the liquid cash available and each of the

companies they are going to, seeking the appeals bond are not willing to use his properties as collateral. donald trump is claiming this morning that he has almost half $1 billion of cash on hand. what is truth? we are not sure at this time. monday is the deadline to post the appeal bond. we did see yesterday, the attorney general filed an initial judgments in a county just north of manhattan that would be the first process toward beginning to seize his assets and properties particularly in a county including a seven springs is date and his trump international golf club. this will be coming down to the 11th hour. we will wait to see whether the appeals court will grant him that delay of having to put the cash for the appeals bond forward. the attorney general has made it fully clear that come monday, she intends to begin going to the courts to begin to seize his properties and assets.

how does it work? there is the legal side and the public relations side. if on one day your lawyers are saying to the court, we don't have that kind of cash. then a couple days later, you say, publicly, i have that kind of cash plus more. does that matter? >> it matches to the judge. it looks like he wants more information about the representations that were put in a court filing just a matter of a few days ago by donald trump's lawyers. you have to believe that those representations in the court filing were authorized by donald trump. you really think you would want to put in the public square, particularly when he is campaigning for elected office that he does not have the cash? nobody will step up and do business with him and give him a bond, sufficient to secure the entire amount of the massive money judgment so he can appeal it without having to

pay out you think he would have put all of that in the public square if he had half $1 billion in cash? there are couple possibilities. somebody was not being straight in the court filing. somebody is not being straight in his new true social post saying, i just found half $1 billion of liquid assets, or, maybe, somebody just gave donald trump half $1 billion. if that is so, it will be very interesting to see where he came from and what kind of leverage the person or entity that gave that money might end up having over donald trump. >> meanwhile, trump is raising money from supporters for legal fees. how was i going? >> we have seen his campaign overwhelmed by the biden campaign, in terms of political fundraising. you have also seen, over the course of the better part of last year, great amounts of financial resources coming from

his leadership, the save america pac. when his team took over the rnc this month, it was made clear, including to me, that they are in the would not be spending any money to cover trump remit related legal bills. we now have learned, i have obtained, what is a donation form for the new fundraising committee, this is a joint committee between the trump campaign and the rnc. this is typically how it's done. the biden campaign has a joint fundraising committee with the dnc. donald trump did this same thing in 2020 and 2016. what is notably different this time around, according to the new donation form is the fact that an individual's contribution, the first $5000, or the first $6600 will go toward the trump campaign. the next $5000 will go to the save america leadership pack

which is used to cover the legal bills. after that, the money goes to the rnc. while technically, the rnc will not be covering legal bills for donald trump, before the money gets to the rnc, there is $5000 of any contributors money that will first go to the save america pac, which has been covering donald trump's legal bills. >> thinking back on what you said about the possibility that the $500 million that he has a cash, it could've come from somewhere else. another option for trump could come from true social. the company could go public as early as monday. how can you use that money to pay the judgment? could he? >> i would be surprised if that came through in a way that was instantly accessible to donald trump. there are rules and regulations about not being able to immediately sell off those assets after the merger. i am not an expert in that field.

here is what i come back to. if donald trump knew, and was confident of the fact that he was about to come in to $3 billion with true social and media corporation. it seems to me, he would not have had his attorney go on record, not even mentioned and say he has no prospect of being able to put up enough money without paying out. those two things don't coexist comfortably in my mind. i'll be very surprised if all of a sudden, this merger resulted in a windfall to donald trump such that he had the assets to put up. >> thank you both for being with us on this friday. we appreciate it. in a meet the press exclusive, stephen breyer is sitting down with kristen welker ahead of the release of his new book. she asked him about the decision overturn roe v wade.

reports that prior to the leak of the draft decision, discussions were coalescing around a compromise that would have left roe v. wade in place allowing abortion up to 15 weeks. >> did you think that a compromise was possible before the leak, around 15 weeks? >> i usually hope for compromise. mike you are hopeful for compromise? >> i don't want you to put words in my mouth. i am careful what i say on this. our interests are different. i don't want to make news. i have written what i thought. if you think there is news in here or in the dissent, go right ahead. i don't want to say something in addition. it might just be clear, did you think a compromise was possible? >> i always think it is possible. i always think it is possible. usually up until the last minute. >> they spoke about the current 2024 election cases before the

court and his reflections on the state of american democracy. you can watch the entire interview on meet the press. turning out to el paso, texas, where group of hundreds of migrants push past the razor wire fence along the rio grande. it comes after a week of legal whiplash for porter politics and a controversial texas law. priscilla thompson is in san antonio with the very latest. >> reporter: one hours that the chaotic scene, customs and border patrol says they have increased personnel and patrols along that stretch of the border. texas governor, greg abbott is calling for the migrants involved to be charged with criminal trespassing and destruction of property. >> reporter: this morning, tensions escalate on the texas border. dramatically video shows a struggle between border patrol and migrants in el paso. the video shows dozens of migrants pulling aside a razor

wire fence and pushing their way past a handful of border patrol agents. the migrants were eventually stopped a short time later by a steel fence, where border agents contain the situation and processed the 400 to 600 migrants. governor greg abbott posted on social media that after the incident, lawn force it quickly regained control and are redoubling the razor wire barriers. they are urging dps to arrest those involved for criminal trespass and destruction of property. earlier this week, video captured as mexico shows migrants placing blankets over a similar barbed wire fence to protect themselves as they pass through. this all comes as the fifth circuit court of appeals heard arguments this week about the controversial texas bill, sb 4. this will allow local authorities in texas to arrest migrants suspected of crossing illegally and empower state judges to order deportations

back to mexico. the supreme court allowed the bill to go into effect for hours on tuesday, only for the law to be paused up on appeal. the circuit court judges appear skeptical. >> this is the first time, it seems to me, a status claim they have the right to remove illegal aliens. >> reporter: states are feeling pressure to get involved with the border. pennsylvania governor, josh schapiro says he will not send national guard troops to the border, despite calls from his republican-led legislature. the last thing in the world i am going to do is put the brave women to men of the pennsylvania national guard lives at risk to be part of some political squabble of the border. >> reporter: officials that the incidents like what occurred in el paso are rare. at the border, they emphasize that anyone that is found to be in the u.s. without the legal right to be here would be subject to deportation i would

not be allowed to apply for readmission for at least 5 years. as for the new law, it remains on hold as we await the decision and a ruling in that case that could come at any time. back to you. priscilla thompson, thank you so much. the escaped idaho inmate was captured along with his accomplice. we have new questions about other two homicides that could be connected to that case. millions are under winter weather alerts this weekend. could you be in for heavy snow?

42 past the hour, we are back with breaking news involving donald trump. cnbc is reported that shareholders at digital world acquisition corporation have approved a merger with trump's social media company, including true social. what does this mean for trump? >> the biggest news out of this for donald trump is the potential windfall of the excess of $3 billion into his own personal coffers. we are talking about true social , and app that has only made about $5 million in revenue over the last years here. with this merger, it is an infusion of millions of dollars. donald trump will own the majority of the share of the stock when this goes public next week. about 60% of the company's

shares. when you look at the stock price , you are talking $44. that comes out to about $3 billion that donald trump will own the shares of. the difficulty right now for him , the big question for this is, the six month cooling period that is typically on somebody that is part of a merger deal like this. at the same time, before donald trump could potentially sell it off, we are talking 70 million shares of this stock, there will be the six month waiting period. there is a lot that could happen to that stock price. in a way, the speculation on the stock has been artificially propped up by a great many trump supporters, including those on true social that have bought into the stock to try to give donald trump a better cash infusion. over the next six months, there could be a lot that happens,

especially when other investors are looking at the reality that the individual that owns the majority of the company, donald trump, intends to completely sell off his share to have that kind of windfall. at the same time, the individuals that are seated on the board of this newly merged company could very well, they will be donald trump allies. they could provide donald trump and out so he can more quickly sell them off. we are talking about a judgment of $464 million that donald trump will have to find a way to put in a bond or payoff by next week. there is little reason to believe that the merger of this company could cover that. at the same time, it is no surprise that donald trump is in need of cash. this is potentially a windfall, even if it is not the full $3 billion. that could help him, his family, and the family business. >> thank you so very much.

we appreciate that. in other news, and escaped idaho inmate and his suspected accomplice are both in custody this morning after they led police on a manhunt up and down the state. we are learning about a third person believed to be involved in a potential connection to two homicides. i want to bring in our news correspondent, dana griffin in twin falls. what is the latest there? >> reporter: good morning to you , these arrest bring to an end this intense manhunt. these two men traveled across idaho and likely killed two people before they were tracked down. let me show you, these men are behind me, inside this county jail, along with a woman that may have helped them during their time on the run. >> reporter: this morning, new arrest in idaho after the capture of his taped inmate, nicholas umphenour, and his accomplice, nicholas umphenour. taken from the ever third person , tanya hubert in
