the cross tabs, haley leads trump and desantis with suburban poll respondents. that's interesting. >> it is very interesting. it points to jump ahead to the possibility she may end up on the ticket with donald trump. the reality is he has the biggest amount of trouble and frankly a lot of biden margin victory in 2020 was due to college-gted suburban women. that's what nikki haley is. that's what she brings to the table. if she can bring in some votes in a few key states, she would be a potent edition to the ticket. >> 32% for her in that sub suburban poll. >> that's exactly right. and she was in his cabinet in the first terms. it's entirely possible they will figure out a way to work. >> thank you. "cnn this morning" continues now. the situation here in the middle east is the heating up

dramatically. >> artillery fire going out from israel, also coming from lebanon. >> president biden talked to benjamin netanyahu about immediately increasing humanitarian assistance. >> people decesperately trying get their hands on supplies. >> what's happening in the west bank and also what's happening to israelis. >> the russian-state media says the crowd was protesting the war. >> it's not just a narrow geopolitical conflict. it's a clash of civilization. >> the rapid response force will be in the mediterranean soon. >> if attacks continue, we will respond. >> friends and allies of israel recognize that not only for the situation etscalate against israel, but could inflame the whole region. >> good morning, everyone. i'm phil mathtingly with poppy harlow. it's 7:00 a.m. here in new york. 1:00 p.m. in gaza where the ground assault is sbins fig as

tanks push deeper into the strip. forces say they killed dozens of hamas fighters who were barricaded in tunnels. >> we are seeing another round of heavy airstrikes pound gaza as israel ramps up attacks from the air and on the ground. iran is accusing israel of crossing red lines and the white house is warning there's a real risk of this war becoming a wider conflict. >> we are taking every measure necessary to protect our forces, to increase our vigilance, and to work with other countries in the region to tripe to keep this conflict that's currently in israel and gaza from spinning out into a regional conflict. the risk is real and vigilance is high. the steps that we are taking to deter that and prevent that are serious systemic and ongoing. >> u.s. marines are on the move and getting closer to the region about concerns about a wider conflict grow. the warship carry ing the troop

is expected to pass through the canal soon. meanwhile, the united nations aid workers say civil order is break down with hunger and desperation accelerating. >> "the washington post" and "the wall street journal" also reporting israel has agreed to allow 100 trucks of humanitarian aid to start crossing into gaza daily. that would be a significant increase. this is video of 59 trucks waiting at the border crossing in egypt this morning. sara sidner starts our coverage. good morning. i want the update on the ground operations, but also that news we just said, if israel were to allow with eagypt 100 trucks a day of aid into gaza, that would be back up to the levels they were pre-war. >> reporter: it depends. the u.n. says, look, it's normally about 455 trucks that used to enter dilly long before the war. 100 trucks a day is far better than what we have beeseeing ove

the past three weeks. but it still isn't anywhere near as much as the kind of aid that gaza was getting before the war started. but it's certainly start where you have a real humanitarian catastrophe going on in gaza. as you can see, it's extremely windy here, so i apologize for that. but in gaza, you're seeing just these sights of just enormous skrux destruction. you're hearing from the children that more children have been killed in gaza in this span, this three-week span that have been killed over a four-year period globally. so there's a huge amount of sorrow and decesperation there. you also saw some people who had just gotten so desperate they went into the stores of an aid organization and started trying to take things out. things like rice, bags of food, that they can use for their families. you can see the desperation is

just really exploding as it has been for the past three weeks. it's gotten more and more serious over time. we also know there's a few phase in this war, there is a ground operation that's going on. and the ground operation is small in comparison to what a lot of people thought would be this major ground offensive. it's turned into something a bit different. you're seeing troops on the ground, but it is not in large numbers. now they add to that as this goes on because now we're in that phase of the war. >> one of the questions we have all had is you see what u.s. officials have said behind t she scene s to iran. have a they had any response as this clearly moves into a new phase? >> reporter: the president of iran said a red line had been crossed and warned of reaction from everywhere.

but the foreign minister who spoke to us over the weekend actually was asked very direct ly does this mean are you willing to do that. is that what you're talking about when you're talking about a red line. and the reaction was we don't want to expand this war. so a lot little bit of a different stance there. also he also said a red line had been crossed. we are waiting to see what happens. iran has its fingers in backing hamas. it also has its finger in backing hezbollah, which is in lebanon. they have fired rockets into the israel side. there's been some fighting on that part of the border. so there's great concern this is going to etcscalate into a regional conflict. i want to talk to you about this airport in russia that was forced to shut down after a mob of anti-israel protesters broke

in and charged the tarmac after they learned that a flight from tel aviv had arrived on sunday. take a look at this. >> a terrifying theme for people who are coming off that flight. it was a scene at the airport region that is mostly muslim. videos show a large crowd making their way on to the runway. you can also see some of the people waving palestinian flags. there's been a great deal of support for palestinians in gaza as they watch these massive ground operations there and the number of people who have been killed. joining us is fred pleitgen in berlin. tell us what you can about what happened as we look at the pictures. if you're on that plane landing from tel aviv would be been extremely frightening.

>> this was a lot worse than a protest. what this descended into was this mob of people, this crowd of people hunting jews and hunting israelis. that's essentially what transcended at that airport in the town, which is the capital of the region in the nosh c caucuses of russia. there's some trouble ing scenes that took place inside the terminal building where that was charged. that crowd overwhelming the security forces and getting on to the tarmac, but some of the people in the crowd singling out folks who were on that flight from tel aviv taking away their passports. essentially making them prove that they are not jews. the russian media and russian social media about another crowd of people or people from the same crowd charging the hotel and going room to room also once

again searching for israelis and searching for jews. so a troubling development that happened there. and it was after that flight landed. an angry crowd was there at that airport. it was quite interesting because we did see this morning there was some condemnation from the religion leader, but we have heard from the kremlin. they are blaming outside influence as they put it for inciting that crowd. >> there have been protests. this one is very different. there have been protests around the region. in jordan, in egypt and in lebanon as well. but this is a very different look where they are hunting down israelis and jews that are landing there. fred pleitgen, thank you so much for your report ing there. back to you, phil and poppy. >> thank you both. just into cnn, the biden administration is announcing new actions today an executive order aimed at combat ting a dangerou

anti-semitic incidents on college campuses across the country. we'll have more on that ahead. the world is mourning the death of matthew perry. that's next. >> it reminds me of when i won my first emmy. i'm sorry, what? i haven't won a damn thing. huh. well, maybe today is the day.

israel defense forces released a new video of jets striking on hezbollah military infrastructure in response to rocket fire. the idf hit terror cells belonging to the militant group, which has been preparing to carry out new attacks on israel. squirmish ings have been break out as they continue to grow. jim sciutto is live with more. it's the biggest question i'm hearing from u.s. officials. is hezbollah going to keep them from getting involved. what's your sense on the ground? >> one thing is clear.

it's a conflict underway on the border. they are firing art illery. ieds coming in via small pir chutes also attempted ground incursions braerking through the walls here. and israel firing back. we got caught in the middle of that in one of thosevill amgs right up along the edge of the border. a village that is cut down the middle by the wall separating. and it shows us the intensity of this conflict up here so far. have a look. >> they are most ly deserted no. evacuated due to fear of attacks h hezb hezbollah. from his rioof, he shows us whee

fighters attempted to cross the border just a few days ago. minutes after we arrived, we see the threat is constant. hezbollah shells fired from across the border land on the hillside just opposite us. we are on a border town between israel on this side and just beyond the fence is lebanon. as we have been standing here, we see the smoke in the distance, that's the result of artillery fire from lebanon into israel. you can see the smoke rising in the distance. speaking to residents here, this is a regular event. it's happening every day. >> reporter: he and his brothers sent their family south for safety, but staid behind themselves to protect their homes. the question for them and others loing them is how long before this area is safe again. >> does anybody talk about how long people will have to leave

here? >> he doesn't know. >> reporter: as the shelling picks up, we head back south. minutes later, soldiers block the road warning of my incoming hezbollah fire. >> we're very close to the lebanon border in northern israel. soldiers have just blocked the road here in both directions. we can't go either way. you can hear artillery fire going out. that's from israel towards lebanon. we have heard artillery fire coming from lebanon and the concern is the soldiers telling us that there are possible infill trigss across the border from lebanon by presumably hezbollah fighters. that's why the level of concern is so great. the military is focused on gaza, but the northern front now faces daily attacks. on sunday a rocket fire d from

lebanon landed in the city setting this home ablaze. hezbollah also claimed this strike on a tank a few days ago. the idf responding by targeting hezbollah positions in southern lebanon. all the while the constant exchange of artillery fire rumbles ace across the frontier. the idf updated a short time ago, which seems to explain that incident we got caught in the middle of yesterday that they saw a fighter approaching the border fence and they responded with fire. they say they eliminated that fighter. these are regular attempts to cross the border. many times a day fire across the border. this is not a full-scale war in the northern by any means, but it's a low-grade one. the question becomes do these sprotic attacks turn into something more significant. that would be a two-front war. that's part of the reason that you have this enormous presence

of u.s. forces in the region including in the eastern area to send a message to hezbollah and backers in iran if that were to happen, the u.s. would be here in the region as well with at least the capability of responding. this is the level of concern up here and it's one i hear from residents and from soldiers. >> jim shciutto live for us, thank you. new this morning, the biden administration announcing new actions aimed at combatting a dangerous scorch in anti-semitic incidents on college campuses in the wake of the terror attack on israel on october 7th at cornell. threats were made against jewish students on an online forum not is associated with the school. authorities are warning students to stay away from a building that was specifically name d in the threats, which houses a kosher dining hall. athena jones joined us live with more. they brought in extra resources to protect students there. >> there's a lot of concern among jewish students.

we're talking about a series of posts made, as you noted, on a website that's not affiliated with the university, but a series of aibt set mettic threats against cornell's jewish community. we're talking about violent language, threat to include a shooting, encouraging others to commit other acts of violence. as you mentioned there, there was a specific building mentioned in these online posts. the home of the center for jewish living, it's the kosher dining hall. so the jewish group on campus is advising students to stay away from those buildings out of an adun bun dance of caution. there's a stepped up police presence at those buildings. the university's president put out a statement. here's what she said in part. we will not tolerate anti-semitism. the destructiveness of anti-semitism is real and deeply impacting our students, faculty and staff and the entire cornell

community. this incident high lites the need to combat the forces that are dividing us and driving us toward hate. this cannot be what defines us at cornell. so police are investigating. we also have a tweet from the governor of new york, she sent out a couple tweets saying these are disgusting posts. also she's in touch with officials at state and city universities across the state and private colleges and universities about engaging new york state police to make sure that students on these campuses feel safe in the wake of the threats. >> this isn't a one off thing. there's been incidents at cornell since october 7th. >> at cornell and other universities. cornell specifically, the university newspaper reported that earlier in the week there were vandalized sidewalks. so antiisrael statements put on sidewalks. i believe we have a picture of one of them. it said things like zionism

equals racism. israel is fascist. so those are some of the graffiti we have seen a around the campus. also earlier in the weeks, a professor has asked for a leave of absence. so a lot going on at college campuses. >> thank you. so a major deal in the works for the union. we'll have that ahead. and the world is mourning the death of matthew perry. we'll look at his legacy and impact, next.

c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the game a bit. but you get used to it. try these. they're noise cancelling earmuffs. i stole them from an airport. it's always something with you, man. great! solid! -greek salad? exactly! don't delay the game with verizon or t-mobile 5g home internet. catch it on the xfinity 10g network.

when we're 40, if neither of us are married, what do you say you and i get together? >> why wouldn't i be married when i'm 40? >> no, no, no. i just meant hypothetically. >> okay, hypothetically, why won't i be married when i'm 40? is there something fundmently

unmarried about me? >> dear god, this parachute is a knapsack. >> that was the delightful, always hysterical matthew perry, his portrayal of chand better letter bing. the cause of death remains unknown, but records from the los angeles county medical examiner's office due note it will require additional investigative steps. he was best known for playing chandler, but he didn't want to only be remembered for that role. he wrote a memoir detail ing hi struggles with deaddiction. he was 54. i can just imagine tributes that are pouring out for him, especially there. >> ab slight. so many people who are remembering all these times he made us laugh. so there's a sense of shock,

many just heartbroken here in los angeles and really all over the world because everyone watched friends. so in terms of the investigation, we do know that the medical examiner's office has released his remains to the family. they are still conducting this investigation and say that a toxicology report is needed to complete and let us know what the cause of death is here. and normally, these autopsies and toxicology reports could take several weeks, which means we likely will need more time before we know what caused his death. sources have told cnn that no foul play here is suspected. "the l.a. times" reporting that he was found unresponsive in his hot tub on saturday. the 911 call came in at 4:07. it was a water emergency. then lapd took over at 4:10 p.m. they said it was a death investigation. so again more is needed to exactly find out what happened

here. his family released a statement to "people" saying they were heartbroken by tragic loss of a son and brother, but he brought joy to the world when his acting but also as a friend. and he was a person that wanted to be remembered as someone who helped people. he was willing to be open and share his struggles with addiction in order to help people. he said he wanted to talk to people one-on-one, as a group, anyone going through those struggles, because he was able to overcome them and wanted ohs to overcome them as well. he was a seeker. a lot of us remember him by chandler, that was really the role that brought him to fame. it was him making us laugh, that sarcastic, funny one-liners and the jokes, that truly was what brought so much laughter to so many us in the '90s and early 2000s. but there are many roles. he started out with smaller roles, got more prominent roles

and it was friends that really brought him to fame. this is a graup of people that were really close on and off screen. they negotiated their contracts together. we haven't heard from them, but we have been hearing from others who say that he will be deeply missed. >> so much joy he brought, you're exactly right. thank you. this morning the uaw has worked a tentative gramt with stellantis. this means 14,000 workers on strike will be returning to work within days. uaw president said they have, quote, done the impossible. a lo of the details are not yet known, but it follows a similar deal reached with ford. the strike against gm is ongoing. today kicks off a big week for the economy. several key data points will be release d. that's ahead. and new the idf confirming they sent more ground forces into gaza. john kirby joins us to discuss.

stay with us.

an emergency security council meeting as the uae seeks

a cease-fire in gaza. the u.n. official warned over the weekend that the fabric of society is beginning to break down inside gaza after thousands of palestinians broke into warehouses desperate for goods. so we proosht your time. i want to start with the the basic numbers we have seen. there are reports that the number of trucks that may go through the crossing maybe expand ed to about 100. will that have a tangible effect on the crisis we're seeing on the ground? >> thank you for having me today. unfortunate lirks the situation that has created a lot of unrest and moving of the warehouses as also compromise our ability to accept what we were asking as a scale-up of the operations. so while the ambition to move

forward and increasing the number of trucks is the requirement at the moment, now we are scrambling to make sure we can handle it. we'll see where we go. in the past we were trying to scale up the operations that didn't happen the at the pace we were aiming at. and now it's just the beginning because this scale is larger than that. >> a beginning you may not be able to handle because of the looting we have seen over the course of the last 48 hours? >> basically what has happened after the looting, we lost control of the area. they are reassessing the ability to retake control of the base, resecure the base and then we will be able to go. they found a transition solution. but i cannot confirm the

numbers. so it's a combination of those two factors. and that has been caused because desperate people are simply seeking for some food and water and whatever they can find. it has been a drastic situation. we have been calling the last days. and unfortunately, it unfolded the other night. >> there's been a back and forth between u.s. officials about shutting down the communications inside gaza. u.s. officials are pressing them to bring them back up. what effect does losing communications, losing internet access have to the work you try to do on the ground? >> so there are two fundamental aspects of it. one is the populations. people cannot call the ambulance service in gaza. we cannot connect it to the people on all the premises where idps are.

we cannot call our colleague and movements. so bisically, this is shutting down operations if with don't have access to communication and also not the people to reach service. life-saving service. the other aspect is a security aspect. because the united nations staff cannot stay put if there's no secure communication that will allow us to communicate with that, exchanging information, even the mere understanding of the needs of the day. if we cannot go to hospitals to plants, for the water, the warehouses, there's no way we can operate without communication. pz. >> it's an important point. we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. so pros testers in cities awe across the united states designed to draw attention to the plight o of people k kidnap

have bececome a poinint of conf and d division.. that's n next.

as the war in the middle east continues, tensions are flaring thousands of miles away. protesters in some cities in the united states drawing posters designed to draw attention to the plight of people kidnapped by hamas. they have become a point of conflict. in somes cases, they have been defaced. joining us now is foreign afairs columnist bobby gauche. good morning. the to tests and the posters are becoming huge sources of tension, even violence. cornell university in terms of threats to jewish students there. your read? >> well, i think that people are being fired up by events take

ing place half way around the world. the first time we have seen this happen, because these events have been so intense, the passions are being aroused here are sort of more than we see than usual. we're seeing the best of people. it's important to point out at this moment, we're seeing the best of people. people coming out and protesting or at least making their voices known in sympathy with all civilians being killed on both sides. over the weekend, those amazing demonstrations in grand central station. we saw people from arab american communities come out in the early days of the attack and express sympathy for what had happened there. but now i think we're seeing the other side. you're seeing people i suppose some of the worst of our nature are beiginning. as we see more video coming out from the region of horrific

images of women, children, c civilians being hurt, we're going to see more echoes of that kind here. we're seeing it in the political space. there's political discourse between different politicians expressing points of view that are seeing favoring one pseudoover the other. and unfortunately, we are now seeing them take place on the streets. >> there's the political and social discourse here, which is obviously seems to be a bigger part depending on where you are. but there's also the political discourse in israel. you have covered benjamin netanyahu for years. you have a really, really substantiative, solid piece in the atlantic. the last two weeks that i urge everybody to read. but he tweeted something blaming the security services for what happened on october 7th. then he took it town. then he apologized. the latter two things i'm not familiar with him ever doing. why? >> so benjamin netanyahu is extraordinary difficult position

politically. he's prime minister and the entire essence is on the idea he would keep israelys safe. you might think i'm corrupt, but do you protect anybody else to protect your family. that argument no longer holds. if he's going to survive, he needs rescue that reputation. he's trying to off load the blame on to the security services, that are very important, but whose heads are largely appointed by benjamin netanyahu, who has been in power most of the time. it was swift backlash across the political spectrum within his coalition, outside his coalition, that led to him basically realizing that he stepped back and apologized for the tweet. he didn't apologize for the sentiment, but i would probably guess his own people are briefing behind the scenes. they are trying to see this idea because he's going to have to make this idea to stay in power beyond this. >> it's interesting to hear

bennie gants, part of the cabinet coming out and saying we fully support our intelligence operations. your piece was so interesting. here's part of it. the disaster of october 7th was the overdetermined outcome of years of benjamin netanyahu's poor choices. in the end the man known as mr. security failed by his own standard and failed to fulfill the fundamental expectations of his fellow citizens. you posed this as potentially the end of benjamin netanyahu, who keeps coming back, despite corruption trials, he kooeps holding on to power there. do you think this is can t? >> so nobody really can push him out other than his own party, which may not happen, but there's going to be another election. it's on the calendar. once he has to face voters, it's just an astronomical collapse in the general coalition and in his service as prime minister and try ining to explain why this i different. he can go on trial for

corruption very quickly tell you there's an iconic video of a woman on the street before an election. it's a jewish woman saying to her, what do you think of benjamin netanyahu and his wife? she says they are crooks. they always lie. and who are you voting for? only bb. if nobody can do what he does. he created this myth around himself that he can keep people safe. this is why. but israel is created to keep jews safe. and many other anteset mettic assaults throughout their history and he tied into that. i will keep you safe. that's what he always told interviewers for decades he wanted his legacy to be. you can't give back from defining this idea and preside over the worst. >> your point about mr. security is interesting. >> how much of his political weakness is years in the making, particularly over the course of the last few months is draifing the full embrace, hug, as they

get them to head towards the response that is most powerful for the region? >> i'm not sure biden cares about bb's domestic problems at the most. he's trying to reassure israelis. he's trying to send a warning to the enemies of israel. he's trying to deal with benjamin netanyahu. if you go there, you have to shake his hand, but he's trying to look over his shoulder, over his head in speaking to his countrymen and the region at large. and the trouble is that among israel's enemies and in the larger court of international public opinion, because israel is so closely identified with benjamin netanyahu and because he's been in charge for so long, that israel is going to be interpreted as his specifically. and distancing himself from benjamin netanyahu while trying to embrace israel, that's a very

hard political act to follow. >> one of the many complex issues that everybody is trying to figure out. thank you. we appreciate it. overnight a gag order in dth's federal election subversion case is reinstated. it only took the former president 75 minutes to put out a post that got him in hot water. >> as we were discussing, president biden urging benjamin netanyahu to prioritize human life in its war with hamas. the latest, ahead.

late last night, the judge overseeinging donald trump's federal election subversion case reinstated a gag order that had trailer been put on hold. judge tonya chutkan issued the order earlier this month when

they were concerned that he could intimidate witnesses. >> judge chutkan issued the reinstatement around 7:00 p.m. last night. 75 minutes later, the president posted on truth social, where he attacked his former attorney general, bill barr, a potential witness, saying, quote, i called bill barr dumb, weak, slow-moving, lethargic, gutless, lazy, and a r.i.n.o., in all caps, who couldn't do the job. minutes later, the gag order was issued. not constitutional. let's talk about the constitution with eli honig and john avlon. morning. >> morning, guys. this is. a discipline problem, really, first and foremost, by the judge. he can't help himself. it's like if you have kids, you all know this situation. sometimes you have a big punishment that they know you really won't impose, and then there's a bunch of smaller punishments that the kids aren't really afraid of. and that's what we have here. the big punishment is imprisonment. any of these judges can

theoretically imprison donald trump, but he knows that's almost certain not to happen. the small punishments, which he doesn't really care about are the financial punishments. he violated the other gag order twice so far and has been fined $5,000 and $10,000. i think in donald trump's mind, it's great. i'll keep doing this. so i'm not exactly sure what these judges do other than hit him with really, really severe financial sanctions. >> the infantization of donald trump continues, literally in that argument. this is a case where you feed to apply the law fairly and equally, and adjust it for the fact that he can simply discard what to normal working people will be serious financial penalties and act irresponsibly in a way that shows continued contempt. don't treat him like a child. he's a former president. he should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. >> i want to know what's happening in colorado, too. can we? >> yes, please. >> there is a trial starting in colorado whether trump violated the 14th amendment and therefore cannot be on the ballot,

essentially. >> correct. >> but there is a little precedent here for this being used against someone else. go ahead. >> this is incredibly important and has been widely ignored, because people say this is -- this hasn't been enforced since the civil war, in effect. although i will note it's been enforced for elected officials in new jersey. let's just take a look at this. the language up there is is up there from the u.s. constitution, not a dead letter, in force, saying basically, you took an oath to uphold the constitution and you participated or gave aid and comfort to an insurrection or a rebellion, you are disqualified from holding office. most folks have been discarding this, because it seems like such a long ball. it seems like such a dusty provision to the constitution. and eli will say we've been debating this for over a year, for the months and weeks after january 6th. >> people should hear in the makeup room. >> and i usually win in the long

run, but the key thing here is that the constitution is not a dead letter. i came to this through history. it is enforced unless it is amended or repealed. this is in the constitution. it should absolutely wind its way through the courts. people who decide to have standing like a local officials absolutely have standing. and conservative jurists have looked at this, 128-page report says this absolutely applies, it is enforced, trump is culpable under it. so it should not be dismissed, because it seems politically difficult. >> the reason i love john avlon. >> you better bring. he just rolled over you. >> the great thing about john avlon, he tells us how things ought to be in an ideal world, which i always say, i agree, that would be lovely. but i say, here's why it's not going to work that way. the constitution, yes, has that very important clause saying you're disqualified if you participated were, encouraged,

or an insurrection a rebellion. but the constitution doesn't tell us how that works. you can't make it up now and apply it backwards. these scholars say it's self-executing. what the heck does that mean. someone has to execute it. why do you think we're in court in colorado. we don't know what this state-level judge in colorado is going to do. it's possible that she is the judge rules against donald trump. but if that happens, i promise you two things will follow. number one, the political backlash will go in trump's favor. if we end up in situation where unelected state judge says, i'm removing him from the ballot, millions of voters in colorado, you'll only have one name on the ballot, it's joe biden, because i individually have found that donald trump committed insurrection. the other thing that's going to happen is it's going to get reversed on appeal. it's possible this judge does rule against trump, but then it's going up the line in colorado and eventually to the federal court. not going to stand. >> our legal analyst is making a

political argument. you're making essentially a political argument, which is that we have a conservative court, they're going to be stacked, they're not going to read the constitution as it's written, despite all of their protests to the contrary. they're going to feel politically about this. this is about the constitution and what it says in the document, whether the constitution matters. self-executing, those legal scholars, who wrote 120-page on this say, it doesn't require an act of congress. it does require someone who ds thes they're on the ballot to interrupt the constitution. and the insurrection applies to the january 6th events, and trump is culpable. whether or not people choose to discard the constitution for partisan political purposes, you're right, could that happen, absolutely? should it happen and is that idealistic to point out it's in the constitution? no. laws matter, the constitution matters, and an attempt to overturn our democracy matters and runs smack into the 14th amendment, which shows that folks can't hold office if they've -- >> i regret to inform you you're officially
