that does it for me today, but stay right there. there is much more news coming up on msnbc. new this hour, a remarkable

shift underway in gaza. plus why the solar eclipse is looking like a much bigger deal than you might have thought. and $50 million. how much donald trump's campaign said they made at his fundraiser in florida. good day from msnbc world headquarters in new york. i'm ali vitali in for alex. a shift marking six months since the october 7 attacks on israel. idf soldiers seen here conducting raids in con units just in the last few days. today announced a sudden reduction in troops in south gaza. it comes amid a new iranian military warning to israel. none of them are safe that killed two iranian generals. they say their country is ready

to handle any scenario. the concern is mounting and on capitol hill. republicans and democrats today reaffirming support for israel even with a hint of frustration. >> there will still be several thousand idf troops in gaza after the announcement this morning. i presume this is a tactical decision and by the israeli leaderships in the face of the threat of the real attack from the north or the direct attack from iran and it is important for all of us who support israel to be clear that we will continue to defend israel against iran. >> it is a legitimate target for israel. iran is the source of all of this coming. it is still very unwise as we were trying to put pressure on iran to keep them out of this conflict. both with u.s. presence and with our response on our own troops. just certainly does escalate the issues throughout the

entire region. and also new today, cia director, bill burns, meeting with officials from qatar, israel, and possibly hamas as hostage release and cease-fire attacks resume in cairo. and continued heartbreak over the aide workers in gaza. paying tribute to those who serve next to him on the frontlines. >> for me, i think the breeze is going on especially the members that i knew. [ inaudible ] >> we have reporters in place covering all of the day's developments. we begin in tel aviv with hala. reducing ground troops in the southern gaza strip. this seemed like an abrupted

about face, right? >> it is a significant shift in strategy. the lower half of gate virginia strip, the southern half where raids were being conducted. the ground troops are going to be withdrawing from that part of the gaza strip and going north to secure and hold that northern half of the gaza strip. that is where gaza city is. that is where the shift to the hospital is. the question is going to be how that impacts the promise by benjamin netanyahu to mount the ground invasion on rafah where more than a million palestinians have sought refuge. rafah has a place on the military as they said is a safe zone, though we know in the last few months that they have also targeted areas in that part of the enclave. now john kirby was asked this morning about what his assessment was by the idea. he didn't seem too sure on what that meant practically. listen to kirby. >> it is hard to know what that will tell us right now, just

announced today. i certainly let them speak to their operations as we understand it and through their public announcement. not necessarily what we could tell, indicative of the coming new allegations on the troops. they have been on the ground for four months. the word we're getting, they're tired. they need to be reset. >> reporter: this is not the hostility or the efforts. we said this is not the end of the war as you have to remember that a lot of their operations will come from the air. these bombs that are falling on structures including mass casualties. those are not linked to ground troop offenses and those from what we understand, they are not stopping. this is all coming against the backdrop of these promises to open new aid routes especially to northern gaza. those are promises that we have not seen materialized so far. >> that is exactly right, hala.

it's interesting to hear kirby say this is a pause, not a period. an important reminder as you continue your amazing coverage there. thank you for joining us. i want to turn to julie and my colleague there on capitol hill. we're six months in here and there is continued pressure on the biden campaign to be tougher with the netanyahu government. some democrats want aid halted. congress comes back tomorrow from two weeks of recess. my friend, what are we in for here? >> we are in for a lot, ali, you and me both. the rest of the team here, coming back after the recess. democrats over the break especially after that strike that killed those seven aide workers in gaza, calling for more conditions that they will be coming to the coming months as well. however, at the top of the show, you heard allies of the

president including them coming live from the biden campaign headquarters in delaware. sort of softening his prior stance a couple of days ago, saying that he would trust that the biden administration knows what they are doing in this situation, but still continuing to say perhaps biden, the prime minister of israel are seeing things on different pages here. watch this. >> what i have been saying and what i believe he has been saying to prime minister netanyahu. before you go in to try to finish the job against hamas, make sure that you will allow for humanitarian aid, the civilians trapped to move out of the way before you conduct their last stage of the ground campaign. that's what i understand to be about. >> reporter: even then, lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum when it comes to the democratic party right now, they said they need

help in their defense especially when you hear hala explain the threat coming. the republicans are seeking to capitalize on this moment. just today, releasing a statement commemorating those six months since the october 7 attack on israel where he planned the messaging bill, trying to capitalize within the democratic party and the democrats that you'll see in the form of the messaging bill this week. they will continue to try this balancing act. >> yeah, julie, it makes sense. he's been in that tough spot the entire time that he's had this job and they have been unified. when we would watch them in the party with a few interviews to set us up for what we might be able to expect. it's a great primer. thank you, i'll see you back on the hill. coming up later, talking points on the house floor.

i'll talk to jasmine crockett about that in our next half hour. tomorrow afternoon millions of people across the u.s. will put on their special glasses to witness a total solar eclipse. people from both out of state and abroad are traveling to cities along the path, which will stretch from texas to maine to see the afternoon sky go dark as the moon blocks out the sun. >> visitors have begun pouring into north texas. some are going to great lengths for the rare chance to witness a total solar eclipse. >> it will tangle up your sightings, most bizarre. >> reporter: design, sell, shift the glasses. >> the silence, the kids in awe. it's really magical. >> reporter: the earth sciences in geography. >> this is one moment where we could all stop and see

something happen that we have talked about in class. >> monday, one of the most incredible things that have happened in our solar systems. >> what do you like about that chasing? >> it is a full sensory experience as they start, the moon will start to cover up the sun. we do have a total solar eclipse going across. >> 2099? i'll mark it in my calendar. >> i've got it in my mind. >> nbc maura barrett is in bloomington, indiana for us in the path of totality tomorrow. let's talk crowds and preparations on the ground. what's happening where you are and what glasses do i need to pick up for myself? there is a wide array. >> reporter: i will say what's absolutely wild about this eclipse, a, it's a lot wider of a path than in 2017, and more people across america will get to see it. we're in rural central indiana. where it is normally the football field here in bloomington.

this floor will be filled with people all watching the eclipse together as the concert goes on, just afterwards, the original captain kirk will be narrating it. we should be able to see them right between the stage where the indiana university boxes are. so this huge production, hundreds of thousands of people are expected across central indiana to come and see the phenomenon as they spoke to the astronomer here to talk about what she is most looking forward to experiencing everyone here together. here is our conversation. how does it feel seeing so many people, traveling across the country to experience this together? >> it is a sense of responsibility that we want to make that visit to bloomington or anywhere on the eclipse path as exciting and satisfying as we can for people. it is just one of those experiences that you can't get any other way. it'll tie us to the universe.

the moon follows the sun, it's just awesome. >> reporter: this is a unique experience laid out to convene. she also pointed out the all- important eye safety. i've got two safeties here. i got a behind-the-scenes look at what will make these had eclipse glasses. the custom ones, of course. here we are. and then my personal favorite, obviously, our friends al roker here. our climate. i will say these are the ones that i will be wearing tomorrow, but you need to look out for the safety instructions, those certifications to make sure that they have been tested in the u.s. because unfortunately there are a lot of counterfeits. >> we are not getting our fakes with these glasses. i'm jealous that you have props and i need to get some glasses, but they are so cool. thank you. i'll get on it. thank you so much. tomorrow, the special

coverage of the total eclipse, which starts at 2:00 p.m. eastern. meanwhile donald trump must be beaming, but their smiles, they may not last forever. we'll tell you why in 60 seconds. ahhh, there's nothing like a day out with friends. that's nice, but shingles doesn't care! 99% of adults 50 years or older already have the virus that causes shingles inside them, and it can reactivate at any time. a perfect day for a family outing! guess what? shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. only shingrix is proven over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site,

muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. shingles doesn't care. but shingrix protects. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingrix today. new today former president donald trump breaking in major campaign cash. saying they netted $50.5 million from its high-dollar gala in palm beach last night. marisa parra has more. >> reporter: good to be with you. former president trump said $50.5 million in donation commitments. of course, the fundraiser hosted at the home of investor john paulson. last night he framed this as a sign of a unifying republican party. you can see the videos that came out. melania attended the florida

event with him. winning the support of the major republican donors who have been reluctant to back him. the figures reportedly doubled with what they raised for biden at an event last week at radio city music hall, involving biden, but also the former bide on bama and clinton. but the dnc released their own numbers this weekend. showing what they would say overall that the month of march, that the campaign has been largely outpacing mr. trump. raising $90 million for the month of march alone and $192 million plus in cash in hand by the end of the quarter. the rnc said that trump raised $65.5 million last month. so a lot of numbers there. but overall the big picture here. these campaigns are not just working hard to raise money, but working really hard to convey the strength for these voters that they are trying to woo. >> thank you for joining us. even with the fundraising this

weekend, they still have a huge cash advantage. and to talk about the arrays and the cash flow, i want to bring in the deputy manager for the biden-harris campaign. i think the money wars, they feel like anything you could do, i could do better. and the thing that will come out, it's ground game. i know you're putting these field offices across the country, but you've had that cash advantage. why wait until now to open these when you are actually in that election year? couldn't they have done this last year? >> and more people are tuning in. you're right. it's not just about money, but what you do with the money. we'll take a look at that when they need to be posted. it's about raising money, which is what they have been doing for five straight consecutive months where we have raised moneys from the donors.

those are individuals that are going online to joe biden to give reoccurring donations to the campaign because they know what is at stake. our campaign has been using that money to open field offices in every single battleground state that we have hired staff in every single battleground state. we have been connecting with voters on the air waves on the ground through the songs, calls, texts. we are very proud of that. that is where it will come out in the wash and our campaign is very proud of the work that we have been doing in that direction. >> that is the process. i want to talk about the idea, six months since october 7. as a political adviser to biden, do you think his support for israel helps or hurts his chances for re-election? >> what i would say is he doesn't make any decisions. the president makes any decisions on these types of issues, based on what is the safety of america and the people because he cares about

them. that's in stark contrast with donald trump. i know that they want exactly what many of these folks who have been showing up wants, which is lasting peace. he's working tirelessly towards that. he's had conversations with the israeli prime minister, where he told them that is the civilians and the aid workers is unacceptable and has to stop, and he is working to make sure they could bring the violence in the middle east to the probe. >> and what if the position on israel will change in some way like conditioning aid or calling for the cease-fire without the return of hostages? what is the impact then of that politically? >> again, we're not making these decisions based on the political policy or thinking of it and that it will cost that vote or not. these people, they will have the right to make their voices heard. our campaign is in a position to listen. and the president is listening. he hears them. again, he wants the exact same thing they want. so we will continue to do what we need to do on the campaign trail to make sure we're

communicating. there is only one person who will have the relationship to lead them through a time like this. that is exactly what he's doing. >> and as you guys are working on this issue, there's a number of others including the fact they seem to be taking rfk jr.'s campaign seriously. but i wonder from you. would you say you're running against trump and rfk jr. or just running against trump? >> there are only two candidates that will have a pathway and one of them is joe biden and the other one is donald trump. we have multiple pathways and we will work to set up the campaign infrastructure in all these places to make sure that we will do exactly that. >> we're talking about some of the states in the slim margins, specifically in places like

arizona and others. they show that they perform well among, for example, the latino voters. winning one in five overall, doing especially well, which biden won. he won them by slim margins. they will make the point if they were held in november that it would represent the seismic break in the coalition and the remaking of the electoral map. how much of a concern is that and specifically to latino voters? a lot of campaign paid in your campaign, right? >> absolutely. we have prioritized and communicated with that community like every other community. we have done that early on and we are on television right now. the best thing to reach these voters, our campaign is running against donald trump. they are not paying attention to the contest as we are making sure to frame that up to talk about what biden cares about. at the end of the day, that's

the most important thing about this issue. only one candidate running that will care about freedom and democracy in this country, and only one candidate that will care about lowering healthcare costs, creating jobs, protecting, defending women's freedoms. that's joe biden. the campaign will continue to double down and make sure they are communicating to all those things and every constituency. and both sides of the aisles, they are being pushed to us. we'll embrace them and communicate what sat stake and to encourage people wherever they might be to get involved to do that and we are grateful for your support. >> i take your point too that it is early, not at the campaign event. what are you covering? i do believe that they have not tuned in. that's one of the things that they will tune in to for the upcoming battle that is just over a week and the hush money case in new york and from that campaign perspective for you. do you think that it will help with biden that he has been more laid back in a way on this. but is it something that he

should be commenting on? is it better to let him play out and allow trump to e remind voters of his legal baggage? >> look, our campaign is focused on making sure that we will defeat donald trump. the legal system is going to play out. >> and it is the campaign trail. >> our campaign, they could not control what they do or what anybody else does, and what our campaign cannot do is focus on where we are opening offices, the volunteers where they are recruiting. we are doing an excellent job at that. again, the legal system is going to play out. our focus is from now until november making sure we do everything that we can to make sure we're in a position to beat donald trump at the ballot box and i'm confident that we will be able to do that. >> thanks for joining us on this sunday. i'll see you soon. donald trump is gearing up for a final week in florida before his big trial. the ones we were just talking about. why this case makes him feel so threatened next.

last week in florida for a while. from next week, monday, until the end of may, he'll be in court for his hush money trial. there he's facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, and witnesses against him may include stormy daniels, michael cohen, and one-time trump insider, hope hicks. joining me now is the university of alabama professor of law and msnbc legal analyst, as well as in all her spare time, cohost of the sister-in- law podcast. joyce, my friend, it is such a treat to have you because you're the person that i will turn to explain this stuff. that trump has tried to delay everything in this hush money trial. he lost on the gag order, on the immunity, on trying to get stormy daniels information from nbc. trying to get the judge recused, but he's trying to do that again. why is he trying to delay this trial so much or is it just all of them? >> reporter: delay is a desperation strategy that it is what you do when you don't

really have a good legal strategy and you are uncomfortable with what you expect the outcome of the trial will be. you'll see the defendants from time to time, who will do just about fig to keep the trial from taking place. i suspect that we have not seen the last of trump's delay tactics yet. >> yeah, you're probably right there. but the other thing too that will be fascinating. watching the way that testimony from the witness like hope hicks, who we all know from covering trump world was always inside the room where it was happening. how will that hit trump? >> it is tough to know what role play will play here. and it seems very unlikely, whether she will testify to the fact that she was previously talked about, which she was around the time when they were being written. and so i think that she is one of the witnesses that will wait and see just how robust her

testimony is. and very interested in seeing how they respond, for instance, when they would take the witness stand. this is a judge who has tight control of their courtroom that he will not permit trump to engage in any outbursts. i suspect that he will have limited tolerance and other gestures intended for the jury. >> certainly we have seen the way they have acted in court in the past. i want to switch gears to another case, the doj's classified documents case because trump is now arguing there for delays after rulings on motions that were filed in the case. basically arguing against a speedy trial. do any of the arguments here hold water though? >> reporter: so this case is a little bit different. his arguments are not particularly known. some of the motions that we are seeing the judge delay over right now are motions that really should have been dismissed out as a legal matter and the motion. the judge here is willing to

entertain not just delay, but trump's speechless sorts of legal arguments. how this will turn out. >> i want to read what judge aileen cannon said they're going in a difficult direction. they need to stop playing games and move to disqualify her that they hear she is talking about jack smith. our friend katie fang raised this idea to me yesterday that judge cannon is a shadow defense attorney. what do you think, and are you in the camp of jack smith should be moving to get her off this case sooner than later? >> we have been in agreement for a long time. the best strategy is a motion to recuse. you know, you'll see legal analysts differ right now. we are in agreement on the views. the legal analysts, they don't agree. it is more that this judge is behaving in a way that is so

far outside the realm that it has left them scratching their head, looking for the strategy. at this point they ought to go ahead and recuse the judge. and then jack smith will be able to take it to the 11th circuit. it's difficult for prosecutors. it is not something that we'll do frequently and requires the approval of the general. this is a judge who has made repeated rulings that they have not just said we're wrong, that they said they were just in a different universe. i think that this is the right sort of case and the moment where jack smith will need to do that. he cannot go to trial in front of this judge. >> it is hard to argue with the rest. when time is on the clock, you need to start this case before november. i've got one last question for you that we're following the

day after new york. and related to trump's charges in dc. they will hear his immunity claims. supreme court rulings might come in june. can i talk about the point of order on all of this? is it for sure that we would get the end of the court's term, and can that doj case immediately go forward? i mean i'm just thinking about that hard november deadline. >> reporter: look, there is an optimistic scenario here where they are preparing to rule on immunity within days following arguments. they were not quick and there is no reason to believe that they will be that fast, but they can move very quickly when they want to. the case will be right for a decision any time after what has been argued all the way up

until the end of the supreme court, which is the last week of june and maybe the first couple of days of july. the real problem is once that decision comes back down, assuming that the government wins. i think everyone is assuming that the government will win because it's hard to imagine a world where a former president has total immunity. they promised trump about 90 days. before they go to trial, so we will be knocking on that period of time where early voting has started. >> joyce, we are coming up against the election calendar and all those things that are intertwined. thank you for untangling them for us. i thank you for your time today. >> good to see you. >> you too. a leading gop voice says that they would go hard at donald trump for a critical mistake. who said it and what is the mistake? and how might they change the election? and plus, welcome back, my friends in congress. what will come of the latest

new today, the top republican on the house intelligence committee said several of his republican colleagues are latching onto russian propagandas when talking about aid to ukraine. >> we see directly coming from russia, attempts to mask the communications that are anti- ukraine and pro-russia messages.

some of which are being uttered on the house floor. >> remember, the republican talking about republicans, his comments will come after house foreign relations committee chair, mccaul, that propaganda had affected a good chunk of my party's base. joining me now is the democratic congressman from texas, jasmine crockett. we are standing next to each other on the halls of congress, and a treat to have you here in new york. i want to first start with are you hearing that when you would hear these committee chairman saying that their party had been affected by the foreign adversaries propaganda, do you hear that? and that they would live here that we would talk about this a lot in the last hearing that they would relate to impeaching the president of the united states. that we made it very clear. what has been left of little pieces of cheese by russia. we know that we would have partners who testified about

the fact a that they knew this was the propaganda that he would call out who sits on the committee and said that, you know, it was trump and giuliani. that we know that they know that they are doing this and that it is still not stopping them, which is disturbing. >> it is one in an interview after with my colleagues who said more about that and this idea that they are taking it directly from the russians, which will have many concerns. the other concern that i would hear from capitol hill after the two-week break is about the congresswoman, and we were talking about it before then, and that it is not necessarily about her specifically, but the idea of what she is trying to do, which is vacate the chair and there are a lot of late nights. is there something you would vote to help keep their job especially if it means a vote on ukraine aid? >> no. i'm not going to help them.

i can tell you this, you know, it is a slim majority, and i trust my leader. i trust jeffries. if he wants to save his job, he'll be smarter than his predecessor where he will pick up the phone and call my leader who said hey, this is what i want to do and instead mccarthy went out and lied about it on the sunday shows. if he's smarter and he learned anything that he will call them with a conversation, and i'm sure that there are members that it will make better sense for them and that it won't be me or my votes. >> and that is something that we will be asking you and to try to get a sense of who is where and who wants to feel that pain again. many of them don't. but this is also a presidential election year. >> and a year where he is under water on issues like immigration. talking about the fact that former president trump would tank the bipartisan deal that would at least help the

situation on the border. but democrats are also feeling good and optimistic about abortion access and what that could do. is the energy behind abortion enough to overcome any fatigue on the border? >> absolutely. especially since trump really allowed for their party to fail. he would tend to be the failure of the party. they have not recognized it and that is why they would have those senators out of georgia and after trump and why they would lose sleep that they shouldn't because of trump. when trump is giving these directives that are counterproductive, and everyone will see it, that it only hurts him and his party. and for once, i was happy that he was out there talking, and usually i have a problem with it and i was okay with it and that it is clear that you don't care about the american people. and if they would wake up and recognize that he does not care so long as the only thing he'll care about is if they pay his legal fees. that is the only thing he'll care about them for and other

than that, it is all about him. of course, getting back into the presidency again is about saving him and if he's not the president, what is there to save him? he is alleging that the presidential privileges, things like that, which should save them, to hopefully be sitting in the white house that he does not care about the american people in a time in which we just can't afford to live in a country where we will have a leader that is not looking out for us. it is very dangerous out there as we would see what is going on with matters of national security. >> that's what we're talking about with joyce. there's a clock on this stuff. if he loses, of course, that clock goes away. the last question i have for you is a sellish selfish one. we are talking about this aid package, which democrats have been united for the entire congress. watching the splintering on israel has been really fascinating are you among them?

>> so essentially i need a full briefing on everything that has happened and i will tell you this. anyone who is not disturbed by what we have seen thus far in my opinion isn't paying close attention. and the question is how do you fix it? and how do you make it to where there is a deterrent as they will relate to prosecute this war in this way? and no matter what democrat we're talking about that we are all united in the fact that hamas has to go and they are a terrorist organization. and the question is how do we root out hamas? if you can root them out and you have number two sprouting up because of the way they have been prosecuted. >> and it does pull away that lever that you would have with military aid? >> listen, i'm going to sit down and listen to the briefing, those who have been

the lists of the names of people who attended this dinner last night. i saw some things that stuck out to me and given that some were old friends and given to people like desantis. what do you see in this? >> a lot of americans whether you will have a billion dollars or $10, that they are okay and as long as you're on the winning side of this. there is going to be a lot of money and that is the other piece of this that you covered it closely with some type of catch. when we would see the numbers as you're speaking with the spokesperson for the biden campaign. when we will see the quarterly filings, are these numbers really going to hold? everything about donald trump is suggested that no, those numbers won't hold. but there will be a lot of money behind donald trump. and the final piece of this. what is it being spent on? is it being spent on their legal bills because if so? then he's not competing with joe biden in the seven states that they will decide the electoral college. >> and the strategist who

helped guide george w. bush to two presidential victories is offering advice to biden. yes. and take a look at what he told my colleague in this clip and we will talk about it on the other side. >> that we're smart. they would take the january 6 and go hard at it. and then they would say that he will want to pardon these people who attacked our capitol. and what they did when they would attack them in order to stop a mandated meeting of the congress took september the results of the electoral college. it's a stain on our history and every one of those people who did that, we ought to find them and try them in jail. so is he right? >> absolutely. and it will go to the bigger point that they are making, which is on the line in some cases and that they are convicted felons. and what is important to keep in mind that it is april 7

today, it's a long time for this campaign to play out and where the biden campaign, which is going to be much more than the trump campaign is going to roll out what they want to do and this issue about those convicted or being on trial for their actions on january 6. they're not hostages, we know that. but let them play out. and that there is a possibility that he'll go on trial, so let that play out and that there is time. >> i think the trial you talked about is one that many of us covered the january 6 committee are looking to see if it will be adjudicated. i want to talk about the rfk jr. factor, which is linked to this conversation as we sort of see them have it both ways on those issues. some republicans say he's a bigger threat to trump. i tend to agree with them based

on the voters. what do you think? >> that i always thought that. but let me add to a note because then in addition to joe biden, he should offer his vote. and that is a note that i will have. the way to fix it is a vote for joe biden. on the rfk thing from the very beginning, to me, rfk jr. sounds like a republican. he's anti-vaccine, she's conspiracy theory, that is your donald trump voters. now listen, if he gets pigeon hold into a freedom argument or defending the january 6 in his term hostages, then look, joe biden has to pay attention on how to navigate that, but rfk jr. sounds a lot more like the maga republican than a progressive. >> i take your point too, david, about republicans who say they cannot vote for trump. i mean i remember talking to the senator about this within the last few weeks. at that point she endorsed nikki haley. without haley in the race, she doesn't know who she would vote

for. do they go the next step? i want to ask you about something that you wrote, where you highlighted the harsh reality behind no label failure to launch. can they pick up their slack and their theory of the case? >> the biggest problem with the labels is that there was no movement and no candidate behind what they were trying to achieve. with very broad strokes, you know, they won bipartisan unity. but you need a movement to move a third party. frankly they didn't have one, and rfk jr. doesn't have one. and back in the day, you thought it would have been the environmentalist with his work on the river keepers, but i agree with you. and david, it's going to be the trump people that they will pull off because when it comes to anti-vaxing. but the one other point i want to go back to as far as republicans speaking out if they are not for donald trump and saying that they will vote for joe biden. give them a little time.

there are a lot of people out there who don't want to take in all the incoming between april and november. plus that stuff doesn't usually happen to the convention. and that will have a little time to play out as well. >> and it is the same one i make that you're all right. and i want to get one quick question in on the state that brought us together, which is florida. and i know that we have watched to turn red, but the biden campaign believes they could flip it especially with measures like marijuana and abortion on the ballot. and give us the reality check. has the sun set on the sunshine state for the democrats? >> and i would say if joe biden would have his code, now it's time to weigh in to the shallow end at least. now listen, this is the game changer, the fact that they will be on the ballot as the constitutional amendment in november, but i'm not sure of any floridians who would know that and the six-week abortion ban that has gone into effect and here is what will need to happen and those groups and the

reproductive freedom groups will need to engage in that education campaign in the state of florida this summer that it could change things dramatically for joe biden in november. >> we all know that they are coming, guys, thank you so much for joining us. i will talk to you soon, i'm sure, and much to do about something? and what to make of a letter written by nancy pelosi. i think it's a great product. it's going to help a lot of patients. what if you could go from this to this. with just one step tresemmé silk serum. time for the ultimate humidity test. weightlessly smooth hair your turn. new tresemmé keratin smooth collection.
