over her celebrity status, and then the next alex calling her a liar and saying that you know this is not the case, so people are really invested in this on social media and tiktok, and it's sort of like the case that everybody's been talking about this week, so it looks like things will probably wrap up the next hour or so, and we expect to have a verdict sometime mid next week. yeah it is. something everyone is talking about. those are live pictures of gwyneth paltrow on the stand. chloe melas. thanks very much for that report. alex marquardt here in the situation room. thanks very much for watching tonight. erin burnett. outfront starts right now. outfront next poisoned for opposing the war, a russian politician and putin critic tells outfront. she's been poisoned, and she will not stop speaking out, even despite that , plus a threatening letter with white powder sent to the manhattan district attorney investigating donald trump, this is the former president warns of

death and destruction his words if he's indicted, and senator letterman's office says he'll be out of the hospital quote soon. it has been more than a month since the senator checked himself into walter reed. so what are his constituents saying tonight? let's go, outfront. good evening. i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight. poisoned putin critic tells outfront that she was poisoned because she opposed putin and his war. elvira vickery. eva, in her first interview with western media, says she's 33 years old, otherwise healthy, but then suddenly this happened. hmm trust this to your convulsions, palpitations, people, reconstruction and pains in the stomach had to go to a private clinic to treat it to be blunt, something that isn't treatable. no one was able to give a concrete diagnosis. we did many toxicology tests used for poisoning incidents, experts told us to do blood analysis. in total, there was about 4.5 mg of

poison in my system. 4.5 mg of poisoner system when she tested it, and to be clear here. you heard her voice, right? the reason we couldn't see her face. the reason we spoke to on the phone is because, she says the poisoning has taken a toll on her appearance as well. now the russian outlets soda says that elvira was poisoned by heavy metal salts, and she talks about that 4.5 mg of poison. they cite lab tests that vic arriva underwent after she started experiencing these symptoms. here's the amazing thing. tells outfront that she has not deterred. those shirts. she's struck me. i don't intend to leave my country, many people even at this moment, a writing to tell me to pack my bags immediately and get out of here, even offering to assist me in this, but i am being monitored by medics and i'm undergoing treatment. i don't intend to leave the country because i have a great deal of supporters.

incredible to hear her say that and we should say that tonight i'll be there is actually one of the lucky ones. she's still alive to tell her story. we've seen a long list, of course of mysterious deaths of prominent russians since the start of the war, at least 14 by our most recent count, and we're very conservative on this. you're looking at some of them on your screen. one fell out of the window. his hotel. another fell out of a hospital window. another fell down a flight of stairs. and yet another fell off a boat. you get the point, and all of this comes as putin's forces are continuing to flail in ukraine. the wagner group once, of course, gaining praise for putin's major rare victory and ukraine months ago. has been suffering continued heavy losses in back mood and is now looking to replenish its depleted force. here is a new ad that we just found that is now running a local russian television. pardon me. joke about guys sign up with wagner pmc. it's a friendly

team, you'll learn how to do a man's job. the right way. and then you see the number they gave to call, but that doesn't seem to be doing much. and now those close to putin are looking for another way again. the nuclear saber rattling, rattling rising tonight, the former president and close putin ally dmitry medvedev warned today that if ukraine tries to retake crimea, which, of course ukraine is loud and clear that it is going to do if that happens, quote it is absolutely clear that this will serve as a basis for the use of all means of protection, including those provided for by the basic doctrine of nuclear currence. there are obvious grounds for using any weapons. absolutely any. i hope our friends across the ocean realize this one can hardly cause such a thing like that a veiled threat and to take it even further. here's one of putin's top anchors on russian state television. planning for a long war, but it could be really short. that is, if a decision

would be made to use the sar, matt or poseidon. everything would happen much faster that way. let's put it on the ground in ukraine tonight where ivan watson is outfront. he's in zap arreaza this evening, and ivan what is the latest there? erin. ukrainian authorities say at least two people were killed in ukraine's northern sunni region after russian warplanes fired guided bombs at towns and villages there and they say another three people were killed in an eastern town called constantine iv cup by a russian missile attack that is just up the road. from the embattled city of mahmoud, scene of more than seven months of deadly warfare. russia's war machine appears to be losing momentum in bomb moot where ukrainian commanders now exhibit optimism. after hurling themselves for months against ukrainian defenders in this city on

ukraine's eastern front, russian troops and mercenaries have made on the incremental gains. and suffered staggering losses. russian forces in mahmoud are depleted, says one of kiev's top generals, and the ukrainian counter offensive could soon be launched. harder to judge the enormous sacrifice ukrainians have made in their costly defense of this embattled city. but while russia's efforts have slowed, they haven't stalled. ukraine claims the area has been hit with more than 200 strikes in the last day alone. and russia is sending in backup to compensate for the growing losses of wagner. private mercenaries with russian airborne troops now playing a greater role in the fighting around bomb mood, according to the ukrainian military want to say that the situation in the south has not improved in such a way we can talk about some kind

of victory or anything like that. in the country, the enemy is applying even more pressure. president vladimir zelensky earlier this week paid tribute to the defenders of bomb oot visiting ukraine's eastern front to hand out awards. the deadly grudge match over mahmoud is far from over. the ukrainian military says it's using the front lines of bomb moot. to bleed and exhaust the russian army. but how long can ukraine afford to fight a bloody war of attrition against its much larger, stronger enemy? erin made all of this grinding fighting. we've gotten word of an exchange of sorts. the ukrainian authorities say that the russian military handed over the bodies of at least 83 killed ukrainian soldiers and that ukraine handed over an undisclosed number of very seriously wounded russian troops . the ukrainians are not calling this a prisoner exchange. rather

they're calling it a repatriation that they say they have to do according to international law. just goes to show that amid the carnage and the killing that is going on day and night on the front lines, there are still some areas of cooperation between kiev and moscow. erin thank you very much from zap arreaza tonight, and i want to go now to alina polyakova, a russian foreign affairs expert and the president and ceo of the center for european policy analysis, along with retired u. s. army major general james spider marks and general marks. i just want to begin with you. you know, i've been talking about this fighting in back mood. russian forces clearly are depleted there. you're not just hearing that from kiev. it's visible on the front lines, so we understand russia's sending more of these airborne troops and that they're going to put them there. now. i know you've had a lot of experience dealing with russian airborne troops in your time in europe. so does what does that say to you? well, the russian airborne troops are they paint

themselves just like american airborne troopers as a pretty elite group and let's be frank. it is. it's an additional step, but it's an additional qualifier that's required in order to join that unit. but once that unit is planted on the ground, their capabilities are not dissimilar to other units that would be there. they just in many cases would get there by jumping out of the back end of an aircraft. in this case inbox mood they won't do that. they'll deploy by trucks or by other means, or they'll walk in. but what i think it demonstrates is that with the airborne troops there, it really is a reinforcement. i don't see this as a relief in place, in other words, that the wagner group is going to withdraw and then that the airborne troops are going to take their place. that is a very although it seems very simple. it's a very complicated military operations so you don't create gaps and vulnerabilities. but i think with the russian forces are trying to achieve is there this is where they want to make a stand. these airborne troops are there and this is where they

intend to fight and we've seen what the images look like, and we see what the report in terms of losses on both sides. absolutely and obviously, you know the incredible loss that this has been for russia, so they're putting in more elite forces. what that says in always. we also saw, of course, alina the recruitment video, right, uh, precaution put out and you know, in this context, anyone who is now opposing the war in any way we're seeing more and more response to it right whether being in prison or poisonings or falling out of windows and i want to play more of what elvira told us about how concerns for her safety worry her and even for her parents. here she is. absolutely and i have absolutely no guarantee for my safety from an objective standpoint. the most important thing is that there are two hostages in this country. my own parents there in a completely different city. there's a rather broad range of actions that could be applied to them. i know a lot of people who don't share

the kremlin's views, and they have no guarantee of safety because there are oppression machine is rolling along with maddening speed. and of course, elena, you know, she says that they were able to confirm that there were you know, 4.5 mg of this poison in her system. i mean, what is this say to you about how bad things are for anyone who speaks out in russia right now. well, alvarez cases certainly absolutely heart wrenching, but unfortunately, it's not unique as you reported many times on your program, erin . i mean the list of those who speak out against the regime who call russia's war in ukraine exactly what it is, which is a war now face really increasingly brutal consequences is harassment of your family. nothing is really off the table . um children are being taken from their parents in the case of that in russia, as well of a little girl who drew a picture at 12 years old of a ukrainian flag with the world war in the picture, and she was basically

taken from her father. it's really approaching a state of repression, censorship. um and just, you know, really deep. i think dictatorial type tactics that look very much like a place like north korea or belarus. i mean, this is what russia is today, and the risk of speaking out is incredibly high and general marks and alina talks about repression of your also told us about how bad the repression has gotten as she sees it there, you know, talking about what they will do to track down any critic. here's what she said about that. the food processor. come to some people at four am they come to do searches, knocking down doors with sledgehammers, ransack, turning the whole house over and an attempt to find some documents discrediting the authorities, or i don't know to find some opposition signs. mhm i mean, general, this is what they're spending time doing, day in and day out, knocking on doors for am with sledgehammers.

doesn't sound much like a republic doesn't it sounds very much like the soviet union that we grew up with. for 40 to 50 years. look the there's criminality across the board in terms of what the russians are doing in ukraine and to their own people. there's no form of dissent. and then when you take this to a military perspective, what young man or woman what young man in the russia case would want to fight for this type of an autocratic regime? whether it's feckless leadership it simply as a matter of following orders and not understanding the purpose. of what you're trying to achieve its its blind loyalty, which is very, very dangerous. and the context here is there is now some reporting. this is from bloomberg that the us is ramping up its investigation of swiss banks that they say maybe helping russian oligarchs evade sanctions. right. so we're more than a year into this war, and you've still got swiss banks, possibly essentially assisting oligarchs. if this is how this pans out, we know switzerland is long a playground for putin's inner circle, reported home of

his ex wife. ludmila. was there right within you could see it. from davos, where the world's elite, uh met recently. the wall street journal says that putin's girlfriend, mother of his children, alina kabaeva, lives in a high walled mansion near geneva or certainly has at one point and switzerland even acknowledge nearly $50 billion of russian money in swiss banks. that's what they're acknowledging. how how big is this? i guess the safety zone, elena well, exactly as you said , and swiss being some particular have a reputation and they've been quite notorious because of the kind of anonymity they provide to their clients, um, in being known as a safe harbor for dirty money, money that is being laundered money that is stolen in this case from the russian people, and it's been a known fact that many russian oligarchs who are trying to keep stay safe, basically and keep their money out of the hands of their own country of the hands of mr putin, in particular, have been hiding it in europe, but particularly in

switzerland. unfortunately there are many western financial institutions that are likely involved in this switzerland is really the hot spot for it, but i think what's really different now is that the department of justice is taking this very seriously in the way that we haven't seen before. mhm and to the extent to which they're also investigating western wealth managers for potential wrongdoing. it's going to be interesting to see what happens right and how serious the sanctions are more than a year after this invasion. thank you both so very much. i appreciate it and next suspicious white powder and a threatening note sent to the manhattan d a s office as a potential indictment faces trump. plus us versus china, a battle brewing over an american warship in the south china sea. china suddenly today arrested by the employees from an american company, what is happening plus actress gwyneth paltrow testifying today in the trial, accusing her of crashing into and injuring a man while skiing, she says, though it was

money payment to stormy daniels quote, potential death and destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country. keras canal is outfront kara more than reminiscent, of course of what he said and tweeted before january, 6th. what else do you know about the threat today to the d, a. and his office? erin sources tell us that a 911 call came in around noon that the d a s office had received a suspicious package containing a white set of white powdery substance and a threatening letter to brag. we're told that from the d a s office that this was then transported to the nypd and the cities. department of environmental protection. they reviewed the substance and determined that it was nonhazardous. it's now at the dps lab, and nypd says the investigation to this is continuing. and as you say, this is part of a real kind of stepped up rhetoric by trump really beginning last week, and he was calling for protesting. he was going to be arrested and charged course he wasn't arrested in charge. but that didn't change the calculus. you know, there have been, as you

say, bomb threats that are non credible that were called in there. a bomb sweeps at the courthouse is daily and that there is just a general increase sense of security. you know whether it's for protests or for perhaps something even like this , but we've seen have been down on the ground all week. we sent increase in nypd personnel increase in court security officers, you know, just showing a little bit more vigilance around the area, you know, particularly as trump is raising the rhetoric on all these threats, and of course, the grand jury meets again on monday, where this investigation into trump's role in the hush money will continue. erin sarah, thank you very much. ryan goodman is with me tonight, along with karin agness, fellow former chief assistant d a. for them manhattan d a savant. so of course i know you worked on this as well. criminal defense attorney now so you did used to work at this office. so when you hear this today in the context of these twitter threats and everything else that's happening. how troubled are you? well he has committed new crimes . these are absolutely criminal behavior on his part with the posting the baseball bat image

to alvin bragg's head. calling him an animal and then calling for death and destruction because it's just like january 6th. he knows what his words mean. he wasn't calling for peaceful protests. this is a call to action to his supporters , and he has stepped over the line and committed multiple, albeit misdemeanors at this point, but he has committed multiple crimes. we'll see if he gets charged with him, but he is absolutely crossed a line does that impact the indictment here ? i mean, i mean, i guess i mean, brian, because i'm saying is, you know you've got these are human beings involved, right? a d. a is a human being right? and he's gonna obviously he's trying to do what he thinks he can actually prosecute. but when you have someone making these threats and things like this happen, obviously it gets emotionally charged. i don't think it will affect whether or not he decides to indict. i think in some sense that decision is probably being made long before these threats began. in one way or the other. and so i think he'd line it up. but i do agree with karen that i do

now i think he has to consider does he add to the indictment charges charges because he also would buy that way. send a signal that this has to stop, and you're also concerned about whether there could be a gag order, which which is being incredibly complicated because talking about someone who is running for president who's out there every day talking. that's right. so a very good close example is roger stone when he was in a during a trial, and he put the picture on instagram up of the judge in crosshairs. and that had crossed a line so that the judge said we had a kind of greg order. but now we're going to impose a full gag order. you may not use social media to talk about this case. so given what trump is doing if you are currently under indictment, i could imagine this would be the next question the next day at a hearing before that, judge and this looks into the this is the direction of might go. but then, as you say, it's such an unusual circumstance. it's not just that first amendment free speech rights or on the other side of the equation. it's political speech by a political candidate for the highest office in the country that's heavily weighed on the other side of the equation. so you know, here we are on a friday night a week ago

on a friday night, we thought this could be happening right or happened on monday, is it is it is it still imminent in terms of an announcement if there is an indictment or if there is not an indictment, which i know is unexpected, but could be the case. is that still something that could happen any day? i think it's going to happen monday or wednesday of next week. i think enforcement is currently having discussions about security and when would be the safest and most convenient time for him to surrender? and i think based on that date will be. then what day do they decide to go in and ask the grand jury to take a vote? because too much time in between you see what trump is already doing. he's already causing his supporters to make death threats. he's himself making death threats and white powder. all the things you're saying the bomb scare, so law enforcement is going to want to keep everybody safe. and so they're going to wait to see and try to coordinate those two things as close to each other as possible. and okay, so ryan, this comes on the heels of a legal blow today for trump and

another probe. special counsel, um so that a judge there ruled that a former former top aides are not protected by executive privilege so that they're going to have to come in and speak that includes mark meadows would have to appear before that grand jury right in the special counsel probe in washington. um so you know, mark meadows, as we know is central to everything right? he was chief of staff. he was on the call with brad raffensperger texted with a lot of gop officials on the day of january 6th, and that's just what we know. right? i mean, the whole point about mark meadows is what we what? we don't know. so how significant is this ruling on executive privilege? i think it's hugely significant, especially because the court of appeals if trump decides to try to appeal will probably just slap it down. we know this is having already before, and the cnn has reported, for example, the former white house chief at the white house counsel and deputy white house counsel also tried to do executive privilege. but then they testified. mark mendez, like you say is central, one of the former january 6th staff committee members said that he was our mvp. without him. we wouldn't have had the playbook and that's because he partially cooperated with them about full cooperation under

threat with the justice department, and i think he can reveal so many things across the gamut of issues has his path to stopping it run out. i mean, this is it. he now has to. it seems like it seems like it. yeah it's jack smith seems to be able to get who he needs into the grand jury. very quickly. all right, well, we shall see because this is one of them waiting and waiting. and i think everyone stopped even holding their breath. all right. thank you both so very much. and next china, raiding the offices of an american company in beijing, and they arrested five of its employees, and it comes as china is warning the united states of serious consequences in a dispute over warship in the south china sea. so what is really ramping up here and john fetterman is still in the hospital tonight. it is more than five weeks since he began treatment for depression there, and now, some of his constituents are wondering. whether he should return to the senate. i don't think the man's fit for the job, okay? and maybe he doesn't have the cognitive ability. and doug. hey, man.n.

and have had a heavily fortified them. and now as us china relations sharply deteriorate, chinese authorities raided the beijing office of a us firm that conducts background checks. they shut down the office, they detained five local staff members. and those individuals whereabouts are right now. unknown outfront now mike chinoy . he is the former longtime cnn beijing bureau chief and author of the new book assignment. china and oral history of american journalists in the people's republic, which is amazing. just looking through this. i know it's just come out and talking to hundreds of journalists and what their time has been like there. so you know, i guess when we look at this, and we're going through destroyers and disputed islands and provocative actions and threats how high are tensions right now between the us and china. i think tensions are pretty high. i think both president biden and chinese leader xi jinping don't want this to sort of escalate into war, but each side has identified the other as its

central adversary, and, moreover , the domestic politics in both countries china fomenting nationalism as a way to bolster the legitimacy of the chinese communist party in the u. s. china is the one issue on which there seems to be by part it's an agreement, so there's not much room for maneuver for biden or c to try and deescalate even if they wanted to write, and it seems like they may not want war, but the drum beaches get louder, right every single time it goes up and up. she jinping's first speech after his precedent breaking, of course, you know, winning of a third term, he promised to turn the chinese military into a great wall of steel. pledged to reunify taiwan with mainland china. um is this just words? no it's not words. he is tasked the people's liberation army with acquiring the capability to take taiwan by later this decade. that does not mean that he's going to order it to use that capability. but this is taiwan is a central issue for china, and i think she and the

people around and really identify the united states as the central obstacle to their ambition of china, taking its rightful place. on the global stage. and from the u. s point of view, of course, china is seen as a key challenger, particularly to the american position in the asia pacific. so they're locked in this, uh competitive or even more dangerous kind of spiral, and it's going to be tricky to reverse it, and that's i think the spiral if you're feels so frightening to anybody, anybody watching and then in this so you've got what's going on in the south china sea. you've got these sort of military incursions and the possibility for something to go horribly wrong and cause more escalation. and then you've got the beijing offices of an american company, the minsk group. as i said, does background checks, but they get rated five people who work. there are detained chinese nationals and they're now whereabouts unknown. i mean, what is that about? well the rating of the minsk group. this is a group there. there any number of companies they do due diligence. so if you're if you're a big foreign firm, and you're going to do investment or go into a joint venture with

china, you want to know who you're dealing with. and often these groups come across sensitive information, so i don't i wouldn't necessarily see this as having been ordered from the top, but they may have trampled on some toes and angered some people who retaliated in this way on the south china sea. the danger at the moment for me is not an all out war over taiwan. the danger is of an accidental clash. go back to 2001 when a chinese jet collided with an american mp three surveillance aircraft. the chinese pilot died. the americans were held for two weeks in china, and it took very complicated negotiations to free them. if something like that happened now and people die, it's the politics at home in beijing and washington are going to make finding a compromise to resolve it very tricky and that could lead to a kind of escalation, escalation and spiraling. and as you say, no one wants a war, but very rarely do people you want a war when they actually get one? all right. thank you very much, mike. i appreciate it. and of

course, as we said, you know, mike's new book is out now and outfront. next, senator john fetterman may spend another week in the hospital. he is now nearing six weeks away from the senate. so how do his conditions constituents feel? are they convinced he's able to serve effectively? we're in pennsylvania tonight for a report you'll see first out front and then actress gwyneth paltrow suit over a ski accident and tonight taking the stand in her own defense. my primary c ce did an mri of my hip, she said. do you have lung cancer? and it was devastating. i then met with dr yanni who's doing a phase one. clinical trial. i was able to work full time. do the pan mass challenge twice continue to be there for my family, discovering the gsr mutation has led to revolutionary new treatments for lung cancer. farber is changing lives everywhere. doing well continue to work, raise a family, which is wonderfulo see women don't need a day. we need every d.

tonight at 11 30. tonight senator john fetterman is expected to return to congress quote soon, which is, according to a spokesman, who did not offer any specifics beyond that , saying it'll be a week or more. fetterman has been at walter reed medical center for more than five weeks already after he checked himself in for depression. this is after he suffered a massive stroke last summer at the height of his senate campaign. so how is his long absence from capitol hill and the circumstances being perceived back home? danny freeman filed this report out front in pennsylvania. pennsylvania and old steel town east of pittsburgh. once booming , now struggling, i got it. it's where you might find 83 year old guy rocco volunteering at the free store. it's the town's take what you need. charity store started 10 years ago by gisele fetterman, wife of the town's former mayor, current pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman. i wish everyone could know him like i do. he'll never change. he will always be

the most authentic. representative anyone's ever had passion even led him to the campaign trail. germans are truly special. like many, rocco was concerned after fetterman suffered a series of health setbacks first when he had a stroke during last year's hard fought campaign elation senate room six weeks after he was sworn in when the senator checked himself into walter reed medical center to receive treatment for clinical depression. i was broken hearted when i heard about it, of course. i knew it would be temporary even as federman has now spent more than a month in the hospital, rocco and other federman supporters we spoke with remains steadfast. pray that he gets better, but i appreciate that he did go get mental health and he isn't keeping it private because it is a stigma. we all take time to heal. you shouldn't judge people for what it takes. every pennsylvania voter agrees from

the suburbs of pittsburgh. i don't think the man's fit for the job. okay and it may be that he doesn't have the cognitive ability. also, is there anything you think he could do to kind of i assure you that he can handle the job. he could resign and turn it over to somebody who is physically fit to handle the job. deep red washington county . we also heard concerns over letterman's fitness to serve. i'm rooting for the guy. i want him to be able to do his job, and he's m i a. and i'm not the bad guy for simply asking. are you capable of doing your job to weeks ago, veterans office released pictures of the senator working from the hospital, sean lowe, the county's gop party chair, says it's not enough german sits on the u. s senate banking committee. we are the middle of a banking crisis, and our center is supposed to represent in pennsylvania. i can't leave the hospital. there's something wrong. they've lied to us before and i'm i'm afraid they're lying to us now. state director insists the senator's office has never stopped working and that the senator has been informed and engaged throughout chief of

staff goes to the senator every morning. he's got this briefcase that he takes over with all of this stuff right? and the senator reads every word. and he goes, he makes decisions. he's a very intelligent man. you're ready for him to get back. oh of course. of course. i think the senators ready to get back. rocco is also ready. he showed us a photo, he says gisele fetterman recently texted to him. the couple smiling outside of the hospital. this smile is for you. proof that the fetterman you know is coming back is back, right? mhm. now. of course, the big question still is. when will the senator be out of the hospital? well sources close to senator federman tells cnn. it will be soon likely at least another week, but they're hoping that he'll get out by the end of the month or early april. erin. danny thank you very much with that report from pennsylvania. i want to go now to david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama, our senior political commentator. i mean, david, of course, since fetterman has been in walter

reed, we've only seen the senator a couple of times in terms of photos, right? we've only seen photos of him working with staff. we've not heard from him directly. is he being transparent enough and should he be considering whether he stays in the senate? erin look, i was critical during the summer of the campaign because i don't think they were transparent before the primary election there when he had the stroke, they conveyed to people that this wasn't a significant event, and it turned out to be a very significant event. in this case . i think it's much different. he checked himself into the hospital. he acknowledged. why i don't think when you're being treated for depression, you have daily. kind of reports from a doctor. and so i, you know, i don't think it's the same thing . i also think we should note that he's just a few months into his term if he has repeated health problems of any kind of over the next several years, or you know, leading into a re

election, which would happen in 2026 then i think you know he'll have political problems, but, uh , you know, right now, i think most people are rooting for him . and when you talk to the democratic leaders in the senate, they also believe that he's going to be back rather soon. so um, this this may be in the rear view mirror pretty quickly. alright well, of course , we'll have to wait and see. i want to ask you about 2024. since you mentioned the election cycle here, rhonda santos has all declared declared. he's running for president. obviously. i just want to play something for you that stood out to me. david. this is a newsmax interview that aired last night. so do santos has asked whether he would consider being donald trump's vice president. and of course you could guess the answer, but i just wanted to play for you. how he said it. yeah i think i'm probably, um, you know more of an executive guy. i mean, i think that you want to be able to do things as part of the reason i got in i got into this job is because we

have action were able to make things happen. and i think that's probably what i'm best suited for. more of an executive guy. yeah listen, we've talked about this before the rhonda santa's plan to become the republican nominee of the republican of for president is to offer himself as kind of methadone for trump supporters who want to quit the habit. and so he's not going to fully. i mean, the obvious answer that, uh, you know, uh, for some would be i will not serve as his vice president, because i don't think he should be president. uh and that's one of the reasons i'm running for president, but that's a risky proposition in today's republican party, and the santis isn't going to take that risk. he's certainly not going to take it on newsmax, and he only appears on right wing media. so you know, i thought it was kind of a and idan answer for a guy who doesn't want to

really tell the truth, which is the guy's got four or five investigations going, he'll he'll likely be indicted. he may be convicted and there's a you know circus around him at all times, and i don't think he should be president. right now. he's certainly at least as of now has loudly and clearly not taking that path. right? david axelrod, thank you so much. okay aaron. always good to see david and next on a c. 3 60. there's been a second attack targeting u. s forces in syria after a deadly drone strike. how the biden administration is responding is tonight at eight and outfront next gwyneth paltrow on the stand testifying in her own defense and a lawsuit accusing her of skiing out of control and causing brain damage when she crashed into a fellow skier. her version is totally different. and drew barrymore, jennifer aniston and chris rock of the actors coming together to pay tribute to comedian adam sandler, honored with the mark twain prize for humor. my first

recollection. sanderson claims paltrow was distracted by her children and ran into him. i was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart. and then there was a body pressing against me. and there was a very strange grunting noise. so my brain was trying to make sense of what was happening. he was still on the ground, right? yes said what are you doing? yes okay. like why did you do that? yes he said. i think you skied into me. yes that's when you were furious and said, you ski directly into my effing back. at the top of your lungs. i did. okay i apologize for my bad language. before the 50 year old star took the stand. it was like a day and night is for before and after the accident. plaintiff's attorneys claim sanderson broke four ribs , suffered brain damage and was vibrant before the collision,
