can you guess why? and two families world apart connected over a rare genetic disease in the backdrop of the war in gaza. i am ayman mohyeldin. let's do it. we start this hour with breaking news. today, eight months into israel's war in gaza, the world witnessed two very different realities and regardless of how you view these last few months of death and destruction, what transpired today raises a series of serious questions regarding a collective failure to end the war, bring the hostages home and stop the indiscriminate killing of palestinians. on saturday over 200 palestinians were killed in israeli airstrikes. the refugee camp in central gaza. according to the government media office, marking one of the bloodiest single days we have witnessed in eight months of war. videos of the aftermath of the assault show streets littered with debris and dead bodies, many missing limbs.

women and children can be seen among the dead. some images are so disturbing, we can't even show you on the screen. one witnessed and described the scene to reuters as, quote, it was like a horror movie, but this was a real massacre. while bombs rained down, israeli security forces conducted a raid in the same neighborhood, rescuing four hostages held by hamas since october. all are said to be in good medical condition and have been reunited with their families. their release, bringing joy to millions of israelis. after the strikes the united nations condemned israel's mission, noting that she was relieved that four hostages have been released, it should not have come at the expense of at least 200 palestinians, calling it, quote, humanitarian camouflage at another level. today's rate marks the third rescue attempt since october 7 and the country's military said the hostages brought back in the aftermath of the attack.

in february 2 more men were rescued during a raid in rafah after security forces stormed an apartment in a densely packed town. those airstrikes also killed more than 60 palestinians, including women and children according to local officials. of course we cannot forget three israeli hostages were killed by troops in december. it happened after soldiers mistakenly identified them as a threat and opened fire on them, despite them holding white flags. so far the vast majority of israeli hostages have been released by hamas through negotiations and temporary cease-fire, not wanton destruction and killing of palestinians like what we saw today. successful rescue missions few and far between and taking massive poles on palestinian civilians, israel's tactics should raise questions among the international community. how many innocent palestinians killed is acceptable to rescue israeli hostages? especially since more than 100 hostages are still believed to

be held by hamas. their families also want to see their loved ones home safely. family members have been adamant that the only way to return all of the hostages being held by hamas in gaza is through a cease-fire deal. however a cease-fire remains elusive with prominent and powerful israeli cabinet ministers rejecting any such effort. minister benjamin netanyahu is now using today's operation to try to ease mounting political pressure on him to resign, urging one of his rivals and member of his cabinet who was widely reported to be preparing to quit the government this evening, to now reconsider. and today may be yet another test for joe biden, who pushed for a cease-fire deal and who may now find that the newly emboldened israeli prime minister is inclined again to defy the american president, to try to prolong this war to the detriment of the remaining hostages and palestinians. we will continue to follow this

story and bring you any updates as we get them throughout the next two hours. at home donald trump is intensifying his quest for revenge. fresh off of his guilty verdict in new york, the ex-president issued a stark warning to opponents suggesting they could face prosecution if he regains the white house in november. threats continued on thursday with talkshow host turned far right sympathizer doctor phil after doctor phil suggested the state of the country would leave trump with little time to, quote, get even. the ex-president shot back. >> revenge does take time, i will say that. >> it does. >> and sometimes revenge can be justified. sometimes it can. >> at this point the former presidents threats of vengeance should not surprise anyone, but what makes this latest stop on trump's revenge to her most dangerous are his sycophants. they are practically lining up to join trump's promise of

postverdict payback and threatening to use every tool they have to do so. tuesday, house speaker mike johnson unveiled the three- pronged approach to pushback against the prosecutions of the former president, promising to use appropriations, legislative, and oversight process to avenge their dear leader and when it comes to appropriations, jump ally congressman jim jordan is leading the charge. jordan suggests eliminating federal grants for those prosecuting trump including alvin bragg in manhattan, fani willis in atlanta and new york attorney general james. also wants to cut off funding for special counsel jack smith's office. outside of congress, veteran republican lawyers have resorted to treating the cause for retribution is a matter of constitutional principle. a law professor urging republicans to bring charges against democratic officers, even presidents, writing, quote, without the threat of prosecution of their own leaders, democrats will continue

to charge future republican presidents without restraint. for some, the threats of revenge have taken a darker turn. laura loomer for example, a far right, anti-muslim activist with a history of spouting bigoted nonsense who trump has praised as, quote, very special, took the calls for prosecution to the next level. calling his political foes to be executed, telling a right- wing podcaster, quote, not just to jail. they should get the death penalty. with us now, tom nichols, staff writer at the atlantic. and former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. great to have all three of you with us. tom, i will start with you and this dr. phil interview. a bit of a head-scratcher, but dr. phil tried to give trump an opportunity to walk back these threats of vengeance, but the ex-president could not help himself.

has trump's revenge tour kicked into overdrive postconviction? >> dr. phil tried to do what everyone tries to do when they talk to him. hannity and other interviewers, to say stop scaring people until you are elected. get off this ledge and he never takes the opportunity, because he needs it. i think it is important to understand that he means it in part because he is who he is, but also because this is what his voters want. they feel humiliated by 2020, humiliated by the fact they were suckered in by donald trump. i've said it for years. in their hearts they know they are wrong and that produces a tremendous amount of stress and cognitive dissonance on a lot of people. when trump says i'm going to get even on everybody, that reassures them. that makes them feel better. of course there was never going to be any other direction for this than turning it up to 11. >> david, trump is not the only

one promising payback, as we mentioned. you've got members of congress taking a multipronged approach. you have some threatening to defund prosecutors. others going after the fbi. other suggesting violence, like laura loomer. what happened to the republican party being this party of law and order? is there any room in the gop for people who actually respect the rule of law? >> no. next question. we saw there was one data point that was very relevant here. before the verdict even came out a few days ago, larry hogan, former republican governor of maryland, now running for this senate seat for maryland as a republican, put out a tweet that said whatever the verdict is, people should respect that. respect the rule of law. and immediately one of trump's campaign managers said your campaign is done. meaning we are going to come

get you. lara trump, who runs the rnc, the gop party, said the same thing. there was one moderate republican running in a moderate state who said we should respect what comes out of the jury and immediately he is sent to republican banishment. i mean it is pretty simple. if they are going to accept what happened on january 6 and beating up comps and trump trying to overturn elections and mount a political coup, they are going to accept payoffs and not going to accept any jury finding him guilty of election interference. >> i expect this from the kind of right-wing loonies that are more and more present in our political discourse. i was a little bit surprised to hear the former bush lawyer who i mentioned moments ago talk about prosecutions of democrats as being somehow necessary to de-legitimize the prosecutions of trump. he writes only retaliation in

kind can produce the deterrent necessary to enforce a political version of mutually assured destruction. what do you make of that logic from a fellow lawyer who served in the department of justice? >> well, it is obviously distressing and someone who carries that kind of position, you know, this dialogue, the problem is that it is wrong on fax and the moral premise of leadership. the facts are that this department of justice has prosecuted, has indicted, to democratic congressman and the presidents son. so to argue that the department of justice is weaponized is simply wrong on the facts and of course the new york case, alvin bragg's case, is a state case and alvin bragg does not in any way, shape, or form report to the department of justice or the president.

on moral leadership, take a step back. any junior high school civics class, if you were presented with the question, which is the appropriate response? if you think criminal prosecutions are being weaponized, what is the appropriate response? a, run on the platform of we are going to return her prosecutors back to the role they should be serving as servants of the nation. they should be making unbiased prosecutions and we are going to do that, or, b, we are going to weaponize prosecutors in our favor next time around. the answer is clearly not b, because the answer is a and that is not the dialogue going on now by the president and his allies. >> let me ask you this really quickly. what kind of damage is all of this doing to our institutions when you hear this rhetoric and

if trump regains the white house, what guardrails are in place that could stop him if anything? if he knows he could appoint the lawyers that he wants to give him the green light to do this vengeance and retribution poor, do we have any guardrails that can prevent it? >> very few and we saw it toward the end of president trump's term in office. even bill barr, who believes very strongly in the power of the president, even bill barr ended up saying he is abusing his power. he can appoint a lot of people in the higher ranks of the justice department and even more problematic, into career positions at the department of justice where they can keep those positions into the next administration. so this is a very fraught time, obviously, but we have seen the indications of what he can do. we saw the kinds of pardons that he issued for his friends and for republican politicians and people who committed

frauds. they were all pardoned and that is the problem. the president, despite the fact that all presidents should be held accountable for their actions, the president is actually not like others. that is something that the american voting public needs to keep in mind. >> all right, carol lam, thank you. tom and david, please stick around. next up, republicans once critical of trump are now carrying his water and it could land one of them a huge gig. but this is just right. and i don't like anything. but i like this. get a light scent that lasts with no heavy perfumes or dyes.

a con artist is about to take over the republican party and the conservative movement and we have to put a stop to it. >>, never trump guy. i never liked him. >> we want to see clarity and moral authority and that moral authority is compromised. >> would you ever do business with donald trump? >> i don't think so. i think it is important that you are judged by the company you keep. >> those are the good old days and republicans like marco rubio, j.d. vance, tim scott, even doug burgum had enough backbone to condemn donald trump for what he was and his behavior. now those former fierce critics defend trump at every turn. they talk like him. they even dress like him as they did last month in protest of trump's new york hush money cover-up trial. their loyalty appears to be

paying off. nbc news reports that all four men are leading contenders for trump's vp search. tom nichols and david corn are back with me. we will start with you, tom. you wrote an article titled, the maga memory hole. you wrote about how republicans continue their collective amnesia on trump and yet it is paying off of these republicans. even j.d. vance, the never trump are -- what you make of it? >> where will they go? these are people that thought there was a future for them in a sane republican party and now they realize if they want to live in washington and maybe even the naval observatory and walk the halls of power, this is what they have to do and they have decided that this is the price of their principles,

their soul, i don't know. any pretense of principle or personal morality. think about the alternative. what is tim scott going to do? is he going to say i was brought up better than this? i learned better than this? i am a better person than this and i'm willing to lose an election. i'm willing to go home. i'm willing to leave washington if this is what it takes to stay here. he's not going to do that. marco rubio is not going to do that. j.d. vance is certainly not going to do that. even if someone like vince would be more powerful in the senate and as vice president. it's ironic that at least three of these guys. for doug burgum it is a promotion, but for the rest of these guys they would have a lot more power if they stayed in the senate, but the lure of the limousine and secret service detail is too much. >> it is an interesting point because i think the proximity to power as part of the appeal.

less profile, but more power in the senate as opposed to vice president. one alarming thing, david, apart from doug burgum the rest of the pics have refused to commit to accepting the results of the election. take a look. >> will you accept the election results of 2024 no matter what happens, senator? >> know, if it is an unfair election -- >> no matter who wins. >> if it is a free and fair election every republican will enthusiastically accept the results. >> we should note that tim scott also responded, i look forward to president trump being the 47th president and he would not answer. david, there is that phrase again, free and fair. that is like code for if trump wins it is free and fair. if trump loses it is not free and fair. >> trump said that a million times. he said it in 2016 and 2020 that it is only a free and fair

and legitimate election if i win. if these guys will be has number two they have to say the same thing. ask them now about 2020 and you won't get a straight answer, either. i'm not sure that they have more power in the senate. trump, don't forget, he is 77 years old, too. so it is not a clear bet that if he wins he makes it through another term himself. but this sort of hyper combination that tom mentioned, but also cultism. there is a dear leader. the republican party has at its head and if you try to say anything against that, look at nikki haley. she said trump was not qualified to be president and she endorsed him, but many republicans have done that over the last eight years. that is what you do in a cold. trump won't stand any criticism.

any detractors within his own circle. if you want to play the game, you've got to go all the way. there is no halfway deal with trump. >> and he learned from what happened in 2020 with mike pence that, you know, if one of these republicans are picked, donald trump expects them to do the exact opposite of what mike pence did on january 6. he expects absolute loyalty and wants people who will do the same should the election results not come down favorably for trump, even four years from now. if he wants to leave office and can do something to keep him in power. >> i'm still wrestling with david's point that some of these guys might be betting on the actuarial tables, which i hadn't thought about. yes, what he learned from last time is don't pick anyone who might even have the tiniest

shred of principle left in them. that was his mistake with mike pence. he thought pretty much that he had somebody would grovel and do all of the requisite things that donald trump wanted and it turned out in the end there was still one nanogram of integrity left in mike pence and good for him, i say, but now he wants to make sure that whoever makes it this time through the vetting is a walking moral void who will simply be donald trump's voice, particularly in the senate and out in public and in case anything happens in the white house where the vice president has to support the president or act on the president's will. he doesn't want anybody who's going to walk in and say mister president, i'm not going to do that. that must be prevented at all

costs. >> the vice president application job description, yes-man. tom nichols, david corn, thank you both. appreciate it as always. president biden's immigration order sparks outrage and thousand legal action. a member of the aclu is here to discuss that with me next. oluts from t-mobile for business. t-mobile connects 100,000 delta airlines employees, powers tractor supply's stores nationwide with reliable 5g business internet, and partners with pga of america on game changing innovation. this is how business goes further with t-mobile for business. if you have chronic kidney disease you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with farxiga. because there are places you'd like to be. farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection

exceptions, will be banned from claiming asylum and deported. under the order those migrants will be subjected to a five- year ban from applying for asylum in the united states, which is more stringent than during trump. in the 40 years since this country established its asylum system, no other democratic president has suspended people's ability to seek refuge, a fundamental right protected under international and american law. the aclu promised to sue the biden administration over this policy. joining me now is director of policy and government affairs and border and immigration at the aclu. it is great to see you. i want to start with your reaction broadly speaking to this order and those who say it is the same approach or even worse than donald trump's. what do you think? >> thank you for having me.

i can tell you it was illegal when trump did it. it is illegal now. the executive order, what it does is put people at risk. it does not manage the border. it does not fix our broken immigration system. yes unfortunately president biden is following the same playbook and the consequences will be similar. people's vulnerable lives will be addressed. >> talk to me about the aclu efforts to fight this in court. how do you go about doing that and how confident are you in stopping the executive order? >> we fought asylum bands and the courts found people have the legal right to apply for asylum regardless of when and how they enter. that is a legal right under u.s. law and international law. we have done it before. we are currently fighting litigation with president biden under the asylum and he implemented last year and of course now we are going to sue under this new ban.

people have the legal right to come to the united states and seek asylum and apply for asylum. >> the president's order includes a change in language from the trump administration, swapping the reasonable possibility standard for deportation to an even higher reasonable probability standard. is this change significant and if so, why? explain that to us. >> it is important to note, ayman, that when people are seeking asylum it is because they are fleeing their countries for their lives. they are being persecuted by people and have no other choice. they cannot remain home. the more difficult we make it for people to apply for asylum, the more we are saying we don't care about your life. that is not a humane policy. i can tell you that the american voters, they want an immigration policy that both

manages the border, but also allows people to apply for asylum. that also provides legal pathways for people in the united states. >> where does that begin in the absence of a functional congress who can make some kind of comprehensive reform? where does the president start to try and reform our immigration system that i think everyone can collectively agree is malfunctioning if not outright broken. >> thank you for asking that question, ayman, because the president does have the power, one, to provide resources so that we have a system that is processing asylum claims so that people can apply for asylum. the president can also, for example, do an executive order for undocumented spouses of u.s. citizens. the president can also provide for caregivers. the president can also provide temporary protected status for

citizens of qualifying countries, so the president does have quite a bit of leverage to really help immigrant communities and people who we know are contributing to our community. we know that the president has that power. >> all right, maribel hernandez rivera, it is always a pleasure. thank you so much. we will continue to follow this story closely and i am sure we will have you back to discuss it as your case moves forward. >> thank you, ayman. from gaza to washington, d.c., a heartwarming connection between two young girls bound by a rare genetic condition. their amazing story, next. ♪♪ at each day's staaart. ♪♪ ♪♪ as time went on it was easy to seeee, ♪♪ ♪♪ i'm lowering my a1c! ♪♪ jardiance works twenty-four seven in your body to flush out some sugar. and for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, jardiance can lower the risk of cardiovascular death, too.

location. regardless of the fact that there is actually no safe location. so we sent her to where she is now with the rest of her family. >> how are you able to get her the care that she needs and the assistance of being able to move her, how difficult is that? >> it is completely difficult, obviously. we have 50 employees currently inside of gaza and we have to allocate those resources to ensure they are constantly safe. to be able to pull her and have one of my employees go into rafah. at a time when it was considered, to this day still considered, a completely dangerous area. we have to ensure we are not putting our own personnel on the ground in harm's way, which they have been consistently through this process. >> simon i know you have been talking to the family or trying to communicate with them regularly. what is that like and more importantly because you are

somebody who is very familiar with ahc and how difficult that is to raise a child with, what are you able to convey to them, being on the outside in terms of what they are experiencing on the inside? >> it has been almost two months now, so it is starting to get really desperate. it has always been desperate, but the situation she is in, my daughter, even if she has a warm bath she can get symptoms from this disease. it is terrible symptoms. paralysis and really painful symptoms. she is in a war zone. it has been like this for two months. she has had to be fed from a bottle and every day it is the same communication. please help. please get us out. >> are you able to convey any optimism or what is the mood like? i know you are saying it is desperation, but have you lost hope in being able to help them? >> it is getting frustrating. we've been doing this for two

months straight. i think apathy -- it is frustrating apathy. it is radio silence and radio silence is continuing. so we really want to get these guys out and make sure that somebody is moving to do that. >> where is the biggest roadblock in helping get julia out right now? you talk about apathy and frustration. is it not enough attention being put on it? is it the israelis, is it the americans? where do you see the frustration being pointed at? >> i think it is general frustration across the board. there have been so many people across borders helping julia. there has been an enormous effort to try to get her out from everybody. every type of society. but it has not been successful yet. when you drive down the freeway and you see a puppy on the freeway, you feel compelled to do something.

that is the humanitarian thing to do. this is not a puppy on a freeway, this is a kid in a war zone desperately fighting for her life and we need somebody to stop and help her and we need it desperately. >> walk us through where the holdup is to try to get her out. if there is this willingness to help her, this transnational, multireligious effort to get her out. multiple countries involved. why is she not getting out? >> i think it is very simple. i think at the end of the day the israeli military needs to get out of rafah. it is as simple as that. we have hundreds of children that are currently accepted for evacuation, but can't leave. because the rafah border is closed. so there are hundreds of children, julia included, that we can pull out to receive medical care, life-saving medical care in 24 hours.

one of the biggest points is to ensure that they follow the icj in stating the need to get out of rafah. it is as simple as that. >> in order to open the border and get her out. in the absence of that, what medical care is she receiving right now? are you able to get anything to her? what is her condition? >> it is a difficult position regarding julia. across the entire structure of what she is going through. one of the things is we have been able to supply medications for an entire month, but we had to go through our entire warehouse. had to go through different warehouses and it was the last few medications we were able to find. even with us going through everything we have access to and quite an abundant amount, we were still not able to find the medications she desperately needs. they are brand name that can really control her symptoms.

once we moved her, just three days later there was the massacre where 49 people got killed. hundreds got injured. there was a huge fire and i remember three days later, i received a message from her dad saying thank you so much for pulling us out. just imagine she was most likely going to be one of those victims. >> simon, talk to me about if you are able to get julia out, what does the day after look like? what do you plan for her in terms of what you and others want to do for her long-term well-being for medical care and well-being of her family? >> one of the beautiful things that has come out of this has been the community activity behind julia. we have the whole ahc community backing her. we've raised a lot of money to support them in the next few months.

we know what they will need and we have a plan. that is the frustrating part of this. we can get a minivan to the uae. we have a network of doctors over there. the cleveland clinic will be able to support her as soon as she lands. so there is a support mechanism, family there and funds to help with medical needs. >> let's hope somebody watching this can make a difference in some way trying to get that crossing open and get julia out. simon, thank you so much. i appreciate all the work you are doing to try to save the life of this young palestinian girl. hopefully you succeed. thank you. >> thank you so much. a new lower of ayman after a quick break.

a look at the apparent suppression of the debate about the war in gaza. a disturbing report about just how bad it is in america for black women who want children, why is debt such a risk. >> it's congressman bishop and byron donalds battling it out for the worst of the week. let's do it. we start this hour with breaking news. today, eight months into israel's war in gaza, the world witnessed two very different realities, regardless of how

you view these last few months of death and destruction, what transpired if the city raises a series of questions regarding a collective failure to end the war to bring all the hostages home and to stop the indiscriminate large-scale killing of palestinians. saturday over 200 palestinians were killed in israel on a refugee camp according to the government media office marking one of the bloodiest single days we have witnessed in eight months of war. videos of the aftermath show streets littered with debris and dead bodies, some images to disturbing that we can't even show you on screen. one witness described the scene to reuters by saying, quote, it was like a poor movie but this was a real massacre, bombs rained down on nusirat, israeli
