but there's one other piece of this, abby. i am a black man, i have -- and caucasian ancestors, but i am a black man, and when you -- call the law, and people with guns, in the south, and -- trespass, and what in fact -- did not show many any rules and -- you create a situation where you -- and there has got to be another way. there has to be another -- there's nothing i was doing was violent. the thing i was doing -- i was debating, but i wasn't being violent, and -- accommodations issue. >> absolutely. is before you go, i do want to get your thoughts on something separate from this. nikki haley tonight was asked about the civil war. and i want to play for you her response. >> what was the cause of the united states civil war? >> don't come with an easy question, right? i think the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms, and what people couldn't couldn't do. what do you think the cause of the civil war was? i'm sorry? >> not running for -- president -- cause of the civil war. >> i t

i'm abby phillip in washington. and today a not so gentle nudge from the leader of the free world to the only democracy in the middle east. watch where your bombs drop. >> i want them to be focused on how to save civilian lives, not stop going after hamas, but be more careful. >> today's warning from the president to his israeli counterpart makes what he told the world less than two months ago seem, frankly, a world away. >> i come to israel with a single message. you're not alone. you're not alone. as long as the united states stands, and we will stand forever, we'll not let you ever be alone. >> right now the two nations are no longer in lockstep. biden administration officials have advised israel that their campaign of overwhelming force needs to end and end soon, within weeks. it's not quite an ultimatum. sources made that clear. but the united states is now more willing to say that quiet part out loud. they believe that israel is simply killing too many palestinian civilians, and far too many palestinian childr

so let's start there with how you made that decision, abby. >> it was a difficult one.when i tell you, erica and poppy, i did not in a million years think i would be a mom who wanted to give birth at home. i just did not think that was in the cards for me, but when i got pregnant i decided i wanted, first of all, a safe birth. i wanted a birth with as few interventions that were unnecessary as possible and i just did not feel like i could be heard necessarily in a hospital. and so many moms that i've talked to as we were making this piece and just throughout my life say the same thing. now, i just want to be clear. it doesn't have to be that way and one of the beautiful things about this piece is that we talk about some ways that hospitals are trying to address that very issue, making hospitals as well a safer place where black women in particular feel more heard in the labor and delivery room, which we know actually has real health results and that can keep them alive, frankly. >> absolutely. so drilling down on that a little bit, the cdc does say structural racism, im

absolutely right, abby.here in america, it's of course not glorified but when you come forward with your struggles, audiences really understand that. >> it's been so interesting to watch this and so sad, again, what has happened in this case. marc stewart, thank you for sticking with us. and elizabeth wegmans, thanks for joining us tonight. >>> and welcome now to bonus hour of news. not a new fall, and this hour, from jack smith putting donald trump on notice. that's tonight on news night. ♪ >>> 314 days

. >> ♪ >> good evening, i am abby phillip in washington.onight, just one sentence from the supreme court may trigger eight train reaction for jack smith, donald trump, and every single voter in the 2024 election. the nine justices only required 11 words to turn down special counsel's request to rush and provide an answer to any central question. is donald trump ultimately immune from prosecution? the high court's decision to take special counsel case off the fast track ushers in a world of uncertainty. the special counsel now must go through the regular process. he and trump's lawyers will make their arguments before the d.c. circuit in january. on january 9th, just six days before the iowa caucuses. now, today's choice by the justices almost certainly guarantees that the trial, scheduled for march 4th -- a day before super tuesday, mind you -- will like and are we on schedule. and if the supreme court decides to take the case, and no one knows of course right now if that will happen, it is entirely possible that much of the country will ha

>> yeah, definitely abby, good evening. and you know, the photos that you are talking about from the israeli air force are these right here. this is an israeli air force f-16 i. and, you can see the munitions right here, and here, that they were loading up. so a mark 82 is actually still in use by a lot of air forces, including the u.s. military. it's an unguided airdrop oven, but it can be modified with something known as a -- which i'll explain in just a little bit. but the basic idea here is it's about a 500 pound bomb, and it's loaded with an explosive known as triton. all it's basically a mix of tea and he, 80% tnt, and 20% aluminum. now the other bomb that we're talking about here is. the m1 17. this is the bomb that dates all the way back to the korean war, and it was discontinued in the u.s. in 2015 the. last plane to drop it was a b-52. it was use extensively in the vietnam war, but the israelis apparently used this at least in october of this year, when they first went after hamas in gaza. >> yeah, and you mention

good evening, i'm abby philip in washington. the former president is reportedly caught on tape, yet again, and just moments i will speak live with the michigan secretary of state after it has been revealed that trump allegedly pressured more state officials to not certify the 2020 vote. and, the tape includes a surprise accomplice, but first, let's keep in mind that this comes as colorado is kicking trump off the ballot for his role in the insurrection. he's on a bender, ripping the state's decision which is ironic because frankly donald trump is usually usually the head cheerleader for teams disqualification. he did it as a birther with the bogus argument that barack obama was not eligible for the presidency. he did it with ted cruz in 2016, calling on iowa to give him the boot, and he also did it with another rival rival that same year. >> cases shouldn't be allowed to run. kasich should not be allowed to run he's. not doing well. kasich should not be allowed to continue. and the rnc should not allow him to continue. he should

good evening, i'm abby philip in new york.ht, what you might call the law of political physics. every action has it's equal, opposite reaction. president joe biden has now essentially confirmed that he is running for one reason or, rather, because of one man, and one man only. donald trump. those remarks came undone off camera fund-raiser in boston, and they are jaw-dropping, if only for the clarity in their simplicity. if trump wasn't running, he says, i'm not sure i would be running, but we can't let him win. the biden campaign was caught off guard, according to sources. yikes was how one top campaign advisor reacted when he learned what biden had said. now the remarks are short to create some headaches in the days ahead. and to renew some conversations that are ongoing about president biden's age. moments ago, trump himself tried to turn biden's admission to his own advantage. >> when i ran for president four years ago, i said we're in a battle for the soul of america, and we still are. >> now the comments today to echo 202

abby? >> that is a common one. you hear that from candidates all the time. the facts remain with the are. there is this discrepancy when it came to food prices. what did he say about that? >> something that took off for a lot of consumers, it started during covid, and it went from there. people have worried about it. look what he said about what happened to food prices, though. >> the groceries have gone up way more than 10%. they've gone up 50%, 75%, maybe 100%. >> no, they haven't. they have definitely gone up. there's no question about. that for the year ending in november, the numbers are 2.9% increased. if you take it back to november of 2019, since then, overall, up 26%. that is a big number, yes. that is important. it hurts a lot of families out there, no question. it is not 50%, not 75%, not 100%. >> definitely not 100%. what about what he said about nikki haley and retirement ages? is that accurate? >> yeah. i mean, look, it's the third real apologize to talk about what you're goin

>> especially, abby, yes. worry and i think especially when you take the elements of authoritarianism but you inject the religious zealotry, that religious justification. not from trump himself, but from this base, the conservative right wing white evangelicals, whom he has cultivated over the past eight years. and these are folks that, if you look at january six, at some of the religious imagery around the siege of the capital, if you look at the language he deploys when he's in front of explicitly evangelical audiences, talking about him, giving paid part to christianity, wanting to take on christianity's enemies and the culture, this is loaded language. and you don't have to look far to see just overseas in ukraine, russia's invasion was loaded with this sort of religious rhetoric and trump, in some ways, as barr went from that same playbook. i wanna play for you something trump said over the weekend. listen. >> i think if you had a real election in, jesus came down and god came down i'm gonna be the scorek

>> abby lowell's point of view and hunter biden it's a pretty good strategy.awyers in washington dc have to wear multiple hats. on the one hand, they have to try and keep their clients out of legal trouble. keep them from going to jail so that's one critical job of a lawyer and other critical job of a lawyer when you're dealing with high profile client like hunter biden, son of the president, is you have to understand there's a political -- public relations component to this and anything that makes hunter biden look bad could school over and make his father, the president of the united states look bad and we're in the middle of impeachment inquiry and investigation and with that in mind, there's a major pr political component to this kind of legal process and it's not just like representing somebody that nobody knows about and you're only worried about keeping them out of legal hot water and here you have political and pr components that has to be kind of walking on the fine line and abby lowell is an excellent lawyer for doing this and how will this play out?

good evening i'm abby philip in new york and tonight don something to ask for forgiveness. that's because his party and his voters give him permission every single time. trump again leaned in all the way and playing to the worst fears embedded in this country's history. black and brown people polluting the nation. >> they're poisoning the blood of our country that is what they've done. they poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. not just in south america methane for countries that we think about. but all over the world are coming into our country from africa asia all over the world. they're pouring into our country and no one's even looking at them they just come. in the crime is going to be tremendous. yes you've heard it before and trump is saying it again and again he is borrowing their language from authoritarians past specifically it off hitler and mussolini. he's using it to demonize immigrants in the present this is not slip of a tongue and just used talk this time it's a company with plans like mass deportation government workers. and already t

so abby, you first. you know, you say it's unlike anything you've ever seen. describe, you know, what humanitarian workers and civilians are enduring in gaza compared to other war zones that you've experienced. >> well, thanks, fred, and you know, when we say we have seen nothing like this in gaza, it's in terms of how many people have been killed and displace instead such a short time and with nowhere safe to go. the humanitarian crisis continues to escalate, and any amount of aid that's coming in is just not enough. and while some aid is better than no aid, the only thing that will really bring relief to palestinians in this conflict is an immediate cease fire, and we are seeing conditions that are just impossible to live in. our colleagues tell us harrowing stories each night. we have 30 staff in gaza and people living in jovercrowded shelters. reports of 400 people accessing a single toilet, and sewage openly flowing into residential areas in gaza. mothers desperately trying to keep their children safe in impossible conditions. >> yeah, all of the ingredie

in trouble i would hire abby lowell but he's wrong here. look. the truth of the matter is that he had a plea deal that even the department of justice could not justify, even the department of justice one question said there is no precedent for anything like this so abby with due respect don't tell me this is that nothing has changed here. what has changed is the fact that hunter biden is being held responsible and accountable. this is not a guy who filed late returns. this is a guy who didn't file returns. and you know what? for everybody including the associated press who says well you know he was an addicted son i'm here to tell that you his tax failures were post-addiction issues. first of all i couldn't take out $1.6 billion from the citibank account where i bank. he was involved in human trafficking money launder, he was a foerng agent, none of that stuff was filed here. this is nothing more than lipstick on a pig taking the same charges and tell us everything we knew about this dirtbag's lifestyle, meaning hunter biden. no one is tryi

great to see you, abby. let's start there. you are a millennial. what is your take on this?thanks for having me. i want to start by saying according to the same study, 72% of jen the list being financially stable as a goal but half of them say they are financially independent so they might want to wait until inflation and airline prices go down. as for "my take" i think there's value in education and travel. there's a lot to be learned, that includes going to bora-bora and laying on the beach all day unless you learn about the underwater ecosystem. if you travel to certain places you can learn about foreign policy, history, you gain a lot from immersing yourself in different cultures. compare that to normal education. there are ways to do it for free now and online learning. i would say there is room. ashley: i agree. there is the doom spending a lot of younger adults believe they can save enough people to get a house that's completely out of their ability. they do it doom spending, you can see where they are coming from but not the best strategy. >> reporter: we talked on m
