12:02 pm
investigation. we've got our doj and hill team standing by. the long time cfo for the trump organization heading to jail. plus, president biden meeting this hour with the leaders of mexico and canada. our team just in the room with him. you see the shots there. we've got a live report coming up. a lot to get to over the next 60 minutes. i'm hallie jackson in washington. good to be with you. with me is nbc news justice correspondent, ken dilanian and ali vitali. ken, let's start with new reporting from nbc news putting some if not specific numbers, some rough, general numbers on the documents found. the biden documents that have been found and it's coming as a powerful senate democrat frankly, the you know, intel committee chair, senator mark warner is saying yes, there should at least be a briefing on these documents for his committee. >> yeah, that's right. mark warner wants to be briefed
12:03 pm
both on the trump mar-a-lago situation and on these documents. it's interesting to hear from him. he clearly seeing an issue even though the biden situation is starkly different. less than a dozen documents marked classified found in this office that was used by joe biden after he left the vice president. as soon as they found them, they turned them over to the national archives which then got the justice department involved. attorney general garland at some point referred this matter to the u.s. attorney in chicago who is one of two trump holdovers of the administration. he was appointed by donald trump and he did that on purpose to create an appearance of independence here and that u.s. attorney going to decide whether there needs to be a criminal investigation and if there is, we can presume garland would appoint a special counsel, but we're a long way from that because from the white house
12:04 pm
account, this was inadvertent and they self-reported and acted immediately. a, how did these classified documents get to a place they shouldn't have been and b, why did the white house sit on this for so long? they knew six days before the november midterm. joe biden knew, his aides knew, yet they didn't tell the public until this leaked. >> one thing we haven't heard is any reaction from president biden. we'll see if we get that today. ken, really quick, you said something, a bit of a tangent. you said warner also wants to be briefed on the mar-a-lago situation. how is it they haven't been yet? >> that's a great question. we've been reporting on that nor for a long time. we're talk about the gang of eight here. the leaders of the house and senate. they all need to get together physically. but warner and some other members are clearly frustrated that they haven't had that briefing. they want to know look, what's been the impact of these
12:05 pm
disclosures of classified information. what has the intelligence community done to mitigate damage? they feel like it's the law says they need to be briefed on it and they should briefed and they haven't been and they're frustrate. >> thank you very much. ken laid out the distinctions between the biden and trump document situations. there are more threads to be pulled on. members of congress want to be briefed. you are seeing that now from republicans just as they are talking control of the house. congressman turner wants a damage saszment. others are calling for investigations, plural. you would be unsurprised to hear that the i word, impeachment, has been floated by at least one member. talk us through where things on the gop side stand. >> yeah, because investigation and oversight was the key feature we expected out of a republican majority and now the republicans are firmly ensconced in that majority. this was always what we're going to see, but the fact this is the
12:06 pm
first impression, they actually have something to sink their teeth into is important, but again, we've seen letters already issued to the department of national intelligence. but also listening to members of congress in the halls, this is the range of the reactions. you're right. check it out. >> i don't know what president trump refused to turn over. we don't know. that's what we requested, but they haven't given us that information. now we want to know the same thing with president biden. >> one thing we don't like is if those classified documents were known before the election and was intentionally concealed to the americans. i think that's wrong. >> i'll echo again. impeach biden. that's what we need to do. >> so you're hearing the range of reactions there already from the outright political of impeach biden to the others that just question the timing as you and ken were just laying out. why did it take so long for the public to learn about this if the biden administration and its
12:07 pm
key players knew about it before the november election. these are the questions that we're going to see start being asked in much louder fashion, especially now that republicans have the gavels to these committee, have the subpoena power and will make it a central focus to get answers on key things like this. >> ali live on capitol hill. thank you very much. let's talk about what's gone on in new york. alan weisselberg sentenced to five months in prison after his guilty plea in a tax fraud scheme. he could have faced 15 years but got that really reduced for his cooperation in a trial against the trump org itself. he was accused of not paying taxes on millions of dollars worth of perks including a manhattan apartment, a mercedes, private school for his kids. tom winter is with us now along with former assistant d.a. tom, break down the way weisselberg went from 15 years to what may after credit for
12:08 pm
good behavior be somethinglike 100 days. >> reporter: it was the cooperation you mentioned. we saw a video of weisselberg being led into court today with his attorneys wearing that hunter green north face fleece jacket, a white t-shirt untucked underneath and jeans and his attorney apologized to the judge today for his attire, but he said he expects to be led to jail today. he was right handcuffed first. at the end of the proceedings, which lasted almost exactly 20 minutes. the judge wishing him well then telling the officers to take him into custody. he'll go to rikers island which by car is about eight miles from here. about 40 minutes in traffic. the key thing was the testimony which according to prosecutors and one of the colead counsels on this case for the manhattan district attorney's office was
12:09 pm
truthful testimony which in some substance helped lead to the conviction of the trump organization. now judge mershan said i promised you this would be a five month jail sentence instead of the six prosecutors were asking for taking into account your a former u.s. military veteran, that at one point, yo u taught in public schools. however, he says, having listened to the evidence in the case, if i wanted to break my promise, i would go higher than what i would sentence you to because he found it quote offensive he arranged for payments for his wife to receive social security payments. something she says was motivated by greed. >> rebecca, tom has laid out the what prosecutors wanted, what weisselberg got. did prosecutors get as good of a deal as weisselberg in this one?
12:10 pm
>> i think they did. i really think the important thing here, first of all, three months in jail in rikers island is a significant sentence for anyone. especially somebody who's used to a life very different from that one. second of all, this is an important conviction. not just of an individual, but of an individual for having entered into a scheme with the former president's business to pay employees with off the book expenses and that's significant. as the judge said. it really is motivated by greed and something that i think they can look at and think we pay taxes. we earn our social security. and here is the former president's organization and his top official you know, really just acting in a way to skirt those responsibilities that everybody else abides by. >> sentencing as we look ahead is set for friday in a trump org tax fraud file. they're expected to be hit with $1.6 million if fines.
12:11 pm
you look at that. you have the new york ag suit ramping up. what do you say as whole about accountability to this business? >> i think there already has been accountability. i think people are looking for yellow jump suits and handcuffs and people in jail, but this is a form of accountability. showing that this happened. laying out the facts in this particular kind of way is a form of accountability and i think as you say, there were other cases looming and there may be more forms of accountability, but i think it's important to emphasize that there already has been significant accountability for illegal conduct. >> tom, rebecca, thank you both very much. appreciate you being with us on this developing news this afternoon. come up, what our pentagon team is hearing about plans to train ukrainian soldiers here in the u.s. plus, what katie porter is doing today that's earning her criticism from former democrats. we'll talk about the shake up in that state's politics in just a

12:13 pm
in the last 90 selkds, we saw president biden heading into a trilateral meeting. it's all happening against the backdrop of the humanitarian crisis. the biden administration rushing to piece together immigration policies with thousands of people trying to enter into the u.s. politicians in d.c. getting a look at what's happening with a group of senators set to visit the border in arizona in a couple of hours. mike memoli is in mexico city.
12:14 pm
gabe gutierrez is at the border in yuma, arizona. we'd show you the video of president biden meeting with these leaders. apparently, the signal's terrible, we'll wait for the tape playback, fine, but we know this is pretty much the most important part of this discussion between these leaders. we'll hear from them this afternoon in a news conference. talk through the expectations here. the focus for the so-called three amigos. >> we've seen the leaders arriving at the national palace. they had lunch together and now that grainy footage that was just coming in was of the three leaders sit at the head of the tables with all of their respective delegations to sit down for the substantive portion of this tenth north american leaders summit sometimes called the three amigos summit.
12:15 pm
migration issues at the top of it and we saw on paper the deliverables as they like to call them of diplomacy stepped up agreement here for what they're calling a virtual portal through which those who would like to seek asylum in whether it's the united states, mexico or canada, would have the opportunity to use this portal to learn what are the legal pathways available to them. this is all about discouraging people from making the treacherous journey. secondly, they're talking about opening up some sort of office at the southern border. not at the united states, but mexico itself, to further equip these migrants with those tools, those pathways once available to them. that's important because of what's coming from central america from south america is what we're seeing at the u.s. southern border now. we've heard the president talk quite a bit about his make it in america agenda. reviving american manufacturing. there's a big component of
12:16 pm
today's summit that deals with exhibition development more broadly. improving our supply chains. not just in the u.s., but throughout the hemisphere. the idea is related to migration this this respect. the president wants to see the other countries here do what we've done. take steps to strengthen supply chains, make more things in our own countries because it strengthens the economies in other countries. creates conditions on the ground, which the hope is will prevent people from feeling they have to leave their countries, at least because of economic distress. and one thing the president wants to be at the top of the agenda as well, which is fentanyl. trying to stem the flow of those drugs coming into the u.s. he call it the plague of fentanyl in the meeting with the president. i'll just stick with that as they call him here in mexico. to get more ramped up enforcement of that. >> gabe, i'm glad you're with us because you have i think an
12:17 pm
important juxtaposition here. you and soon some senators are going to be able to see for themselves what they're talking about right now in mexico city. talk us through what you're seeing and learning there ahead of that congressional delegation visit. >> reporter: good afternoon. those senators were in el paso, texas, yesterday. they will be here in yuma this afternoon and amid renewed calls for immigration reform and congress, which the president has been pushing but there are many people that are skeptical that will get done anytime soon. little indication it is moving in the short-term, but these senators they say are optimistic. they are here in yuma, a city that remains under a state of emergency. local officials saw a 2600% increase in un authorized border crossings last year. we've been speaking with migrant advocates here and this morning, we were here along this border fence when we saw a group come
12:18 pm
here. one group came here from russia. we met a family from colombia with a 9-month-old baby boy who made the treacherous journey here. very cold temperatures overnight. waiting to be processed by border patrol and some of the migrants advocates we spoke to said they were very disappointed with the biden administration and that recent policy change that was announced last week that would have more migrants from certain countries if they applied, more would stay in the u.s. but perhaps asylum seekers from other countries would not. we asked those advocates their response. take a listen to what they had to say. >> this new policy that the administration has been putting forth is going to be dangerous. these are individuals who are not evading or hiding. they're coming and turning themselves in seeking asylum. >> you know, i am frustrated and outraged to be honest. president biden and the
12:19 pm
administration promised a different approach to immigration. and what we're getting the just trumpist policies. >> reporter: so the argument there is that you know, some of these advocates will encourage migrants not to turn themselves in to border control to seek asylum, but perhaps circumvent that by going into more dangerous parts of the border and potentially making a much more dangerous journey. so the biden administration now seeing, getting criticism. not just from conservatives, from republicans who said his visit to the border came much too late but also from some migrant advocates who say that these policies will do more harm than good. >> gabe gutierrez live in anthony a. mike memoli in mexico city. ahead, we'll take you live to california which is bracing for more extreme weather after the so-called parade of cyclones
12:20 pm

12:24 pm
we have just learned this afternoon that the search for a 5-year-old boy who was swept away in flood waters in california is resuming now today as california is continuing to get pummelled by extreme and
12:25 pm
deadly weather that is showing no sign of letting up. tens of thousands of people forced to evacuate to escape what you're seeing here. this is not just dangerous weather we're talking about. it is killing people. at least 15 so far in this string of storms. california just can't catch a break with crews rushing to rescue people like that little boy. bring us up to speed, marisa. >> reporter: so as you can see behind me, there is still a lot of clean up to be done. we're still expecting more rain. right now, we have break in the clouds where we are just south of santa cruz, but if you look further north and south, there are part of the state that are getting battered by thunderstorms out of and on. so streets like this still in the process of getting cleaned up. like you said, they can't seem to catch a break here. as they're trying to clean up, they get more rain. what we're seeing, as soon as it's safe to do so, i'll have my
12:26 pm
photographer pan the camera around and show you the pile of sand just down the way there because that's what's happening here. they're trying to clean up then get more rain. people are shoveling more rain and mud into piles that just get washed away. we're seeing not just the flood waters, not just the rising rivers, not just the ocean water breaking over the walls and barriers here and flooding out stores and flooding out markets like this one behind me. and residents, these people who live above here haven't been able to come down. this water's finally starting to recede so they may be able to do that today finally. we're also seeing landslides and mudslides. in a lot of these mountainous areas, you have burn scars. we know they've taken out portions. take a listen to one man.
12:27 pm
>> we were doing good but can't leave but -- and our power and everything. we're doing pretty good through most of it. >> you guys are trapped up there. >> yeah, kind of. >> tell me, what was it like as you're wafrping this storm passing through? >> it was kind of scary. i was like concerned if it was like edging up to the house. but i mean, i'm glad it wasn't that bad. >> so we've spoken to a number of people. those are actually people who lived above in market here and as i mentioned, they haven't been able to come down. and i mentioned we spoke to a man who saw a landslide happen as he was trying to drive home. a 45-minute drive became a two and a half hour drive. so you have a lot of concerns around the state. a state that is still continuing to get pummelled by rain when they cannot handle it. 90% of the state under flood warnings. at one point today, 200,000 people were without power. crews doing the very best they can to restore power where they
12:28 pm
can, when they can. but in terms of the dangers, officials are really asking people to heed the warnings and not go out on to the roads if they don't have to in areas that are still waterlogged and because they're still trying to not only restore power, downed pour lines and tree, but they're still trying to make sure everyone's accounting for including that 5-year-old boy you mentioned about two hours south of where we are. they had to stop the search for him because the conditions were so unsafe. as you mentioned, the good news here is there was a break in the clouds where they were able to resume the search. unfortunately, they haven't yet found him. so i know everyone in california is thinking of that boy and his family. >> that is for sure, around around the country, too. thank you very much. live in california. appreciate it. while those storms are hammering the state, back in washington, katie porter is getting a little bit of flak from some members of her own party after the progressive lawmakers announced she wants to run for senate in
12:29 pm
2024. porter's potential rooifrl i rivals are take k aim. a source close to adam schiff calls it an incredible mistake adding, i'm quoting, we are not going to announce in the middle of a natural disaster and are surprised others would do so. ro khanna also saying he's focuses on the historic weather conditions at home. here's another reason why it's so notable. because the senior democrat in california, diane feinstein hasn't made a decision. she's not announced she's going to clear the way for somebody else. telling nbc she's going to make an announcement at the appropriate time. i want to bring in now mark murray who is joining us now. porter's communications director tweeted today the congresswoman raised something like a quarter million dollars 90 minutes after this announcement. that puts her on pace for numbers that her campaign really her office hasn't seen before, right? it is a bold move to announce
12:30 pm
now. >> absolutely. and a bold move sometimes to be able to end up getting your name out there where there already is an incumbent senator in dianne feinstein. you need to be bold. and it is true that porter has actually been able to raise a significant amount of money in her previous bids for congress in her orange county seat. but it's also interesting that this, you know, feinstein decides not to run for even if she does, this is going to be a very crowded field. you'll not only end up seeing the likes of adam schiff or ro khanna, other democratic members of congress, but also republicans and maybe even other celebrities in california. remember this. california employs a top two primary system. so the top two vote getters regardless of party end up advancing to the general election and that could have some fascinating combinations. if you have some ten or 15 candidates all running for this seat, means that maybe those top
12:31 pm
two folks, you only need 15 or 20% of the vote on the primary. so this is going to be fascinating to watch over the next two years. >> especially because you have the schiff dynamic. the dynamic of others involved including senator feinstein, who has had to, her and her office have had to address concerns about her current ability to do the job. and her ability to remember key pieces of information, et cetera. her team has brushed off that criticism largely and in some instances has criticized the criticism, but talk through how realist it is that she would actually run for another term. >> there's going to be a lot more scrutiny on her than the last time she was up for re-election in 2018. and one where she ran against a fellow democrat from the left. six years later, five years later, and yes, there are more concerns about feinstein and
12:32 pm
whether the -- really competitive senate campaign that she could do. one of the reasons looking at porter's move getting out of the gates today even during these storms is that there are people who see feinstein to be very vulnerable and there are a lot of democrats, whether in congress or who are statewide elected officials already, who are looking advancement in that blue state. >> porter is somebody who has raised her profile in the house of representatives through some of these moments that have gone viral when she's been on committees or in subcommittee hearings. she's been able to in some ways, breakthrough and make some headlines here. >> that's right. and to be able to raise money, too. it is interesting that she comes from the progressive wing. kind of the elizabeth warren wing of the democratic party. she was a vocal advocate of warren's presidential bid in the 2020 cycle. really comes as an ak light of warren's.
12:33 pm
t it's going to be interesting to see what kind of composition of democrat, republicans, moderates we get in what's going to be a free for all and really competitive and crowded top two primary. >> thank you very much. still ahead, new nbc news reporting on what our military in the u.s. is doing to train ukrainian troops in this country. so how much of a difference is it really going to make? we'll talk about it next. l talkt so it's decided, we'll park even deeper into parking spaces so people think they're open. surprise. [ laughs ] [ horn honks, muffled talking ] -can't hear you, jerry. -sorry. uh, yeah, can we get a system where when someone's bike is in the shop, then we could borrow someone else's? -no! -no! or you can get a quote with america's number-one motorcycle insurer and maybe save some money while you're at it. all in favor of that. [ horn honking ] there's a lot of buttons and knobs in here.

we are expecting to see ukrainian troops training on american soil. they plan to strart training the troops on the patriot air defense system in oklahoma this month according to three defense officials. the first group is relatively small. just under 100 service members and the training is expected to take several months. courtney, this is an interesting turn of events. we knew it was likely that the troops would need to be trained up on this system. the thing that it seems like we didn't know for sure was where it was going to happen and now we have some clarity. it's going to be here. >> that's right. for a long time, we were hearing it was going to happen somewhere in the region. this is not unprecedented. the u.s. has trained ukrainians here in the u.s. for years in
12:39 pm
various ways. in fact, some ukrainian troops even go to some of the more advanced military schools here in the united states. but the patriot system, there will be 900100 people trained here in the u.s. that's roughly what it will take to operate one patriot system. that's what the u.s. is going to provide ukraine in the coming weeks and months. this has the potential to be a real game changer on the ground there. the ukrainians continue to face a barrage of air assaults from the russians. what the patriot provides them is the ability to stop some of these really devastating ballistic missiles. we have seen on some cases the russians will fire 60 plus of these missiles at ukrainian cities in one day and sometimes having really devastating consequences. the patriot system is very advanced. when you think about what an air defense system has to do here, you have a ballistic missile coming in. the patriot fires off another
12:40 pm
missile that intercepts it in the air and stops it from hitting the ground and exploding. we even heard from president zelenskyy a few weeks ago when he was here about how important this system could be on the ground in ukraine. >> if your patriots stop the russian terror against our cities, it will let ukrainian patriots work to the full to defend our freedom. >> the ukrainians have other air defense systems already they are using and using very successfully, but the hope here is that with the movement in the coming months of this new patriot system, it will protect some of the larger cities from these ballistic missiles and other incoming missiles and air threats and then the hope is that more and more allies will provide more air defense systems. there's a meeting of the ukrainian group chaired by lloyd
12:41 pm

another complaint against george santos. look at this. delivering it in person by hand. couple of cameras following them watching them do it. you can see it here. congressman torres and goldman want him to be held accountable for in their word, defrauding congress and the public. he's admitting to quote, embellishing parts of his resume. he's facing investigations. and through it all, we haven't heard much from santos on this.
12:47 pm
he told reporters he's done nothing unethical and he's going to have more to say soon. watch. >> the media soon. on my time. >> your time? >> i am joined by garrett haake. so, garrett, he is going to address this in his own time. the ethics committee will also take this up on their own time, too, right? what's the next step here? >> santos has investigations everywhere he turns. the state of new york, the feds, the office of congressional ethics. of course, the ethics committee has no membership yet. it like every other house committee still has to be populated and it's unlikely to move quickly and frankly, unlikely to render much of any judgment at all. the ethics committee tends to sit out investigations where there might be criminal charges
12:48 pm
forthcoming. i think what santos is largely been referring to is the fact he probably is going to have conversations with republican leadership before he talks to the public. that's the indication we got from steve scalise after that letter was delivered today. a little of what we've heard from members today. >> we haven't seen a single movement on the part of republican leadership. they have not commented on this publicly. they have not condemned santos and all of his lies. >> this is something that's being handled internally. obviously there were concerns about what we heard so we're going to have to sit down and talk to him about it. that's something we're going the deal with just like there's a lot of things we're going to deal with. >> you don't hear a great sense of urgency from scalise. he's a key vote for mccarthy when he needs just about anything he can get. >> one of the things santos went
12:49 pm
viral for when the speaker drama was going down were some moments when he was by himself in the house chamber on the initial day. we've seen interesting stills, video, from this past week. we're looking at it here. that moment with matt gaetz, that confrontational moment. we could only see it because the c-span cameras were there and now interestingly, matt gaetz is putting forth something where they would be allowed to show us that all the time. >> gaetz has put forward an amendment to allow for more c-cspan action. i'm told it's an amend. to the rules of the house more broadly. a, i don't know this goes anywhere. the other problem is b, cspan would have to do this. this is television. keeping camera crews staffed in the chamber whenever they're in
12:50 pm
session is expensive and not necessarily the kind of thing that cspan's going to have a, the resources to do or b, knowing there would be the bandwidth for folks who want to watch a full-time switch feed, multicamera drama of the suspension vote of the day or the, well, hey, i mean, look. set your dvr, but i don't know that there's going to be the audience there necessary. a popular idea in the moment. i'd be surprised if this goes very far. that said, i do think the viralty of this past week would maybe allow a little pressure to be increased on bigger votes. on bigger moments. it certainly encourages those of us who do this for a living too lean on the powers that be in the by the way, a little more inside baseball that people want, meaning the senate chamber, reporters can bring their cell phones in. it's much harder to cover the senate chamber big votes. we would like to see much more access to this kind of thing to
12:51 pm
show it to the viewers at home. >> garrett haake, our pro access correspondent. appreciate it. i'm joined by democratic congresswoman from michigan, elissa slotkin. you also support more access for the public, for cameras, et cetera on the house floor. >> yeah, it was kind of amazing how many people reached out to me on this and just said, look, it's kind of humanizing, it's interesting. now obviously as grant said, everyone is watching the speaker vote. i do think it's humanizing. as long as you're behaving well on the house floor, it shouldn't be a problem. i actually support it. >> let me make a turn to some of the other headlines of the day. there are a lot of them, and i want to start with some of these documents now. nbc news has fresh reporting here. fewer than a dozen documents that were found in the president biden office obviously prior to winning, taking the presidency. senator warner, for example, is
12:52 pm
saying he wants to be briefed on this. republican colleagues are calling for a thorough investigation. do you think this merits the detailed investigation that your colleagues on the other side of the aisle are calling for? >> i don't know exactly what they're calling for. am i not surprising they're seeing it as a political talking point. if you have classified information outside of classified space, there should be a look into it for sure, and i think that's what they're going to do. i know the biden administration will be supportive. there has to be accountability and whoever took the classified documents needs to be looked at. so i support us understanding what happened. >> as we talk about investigations, you've also got additional investigations that members of congress are calling for, specifically on the republican side as it relates to, for example, what's happening at the border with president biden in mexico. today for the key trilateral summit. are there any investigations that republicans can do here as they're now two, three days in having control of the house of
12:53 pm
representatives that you could see yourself getting behind. >> i mean, i would have to look at it. i think the message of the election was we want to look forward, we want team normal to please be in washington and get something done for the american people, and not just kind of be backward looking and constantly sort of fighting yesterday's battles, so i have to understand what they're looking retaliator investigations, investigations that are meant to stop the, you know, mechanics of me which they've been open about. i can't support an investigation for investigation's sake if that's what they're talking about. >> we noted speaker mccarthy walking behind you on a busy day on capitol hill. we mentioned the president down in mexico, you have that coming as brazil is still dealing with that attack on its capitol over the weekend. the former leader that a lot of people blamed was spurring those riots, former president bolsonaro is in u.s., in and around orlando. the u.s. state department says
12:54 pm
it hasn't gotten an extradition request. should the u.s. comply if that comes through in your view. >> it's really not that hard. it's rule of law. be a person who cares about the rule of law, whether an attack happens in this capitol. literally where i'm standing or it happens in another country. if the countries they have arrested 500 people, they're going through the mechanics of rule of law. if he incited that riot, participated in it, just like the open questions we have about the former president, then he should be held accountable and of course we should comply with that extradition request. rule of law is good, people, let's just stick with that, please. >> let me get a little local and talk about michigan politics. the senior senator from your state. sources are telling us that you are strongly considering running for senate. is that the case? are you at least considering it, and when should we expect the decision from you either way? >> yeah, well, senator, it's a
12:55 pm
huge dole for our state. i'm seriously considering. it's just a really big decision. i'm talking to lots of people, having a lot of conversations. it's not something to take lightly. once i get through the process, i'll make the decision. i do not know the time line. i'm definitely considering it. you know, i think in michigan, luckily we have a really great bench now. we really did our job in the last election, and won up and down the board. we have a lot of strong candidates. i think it's only natural with this movement in our statement that anyone look at it seriously. >> presumably you don't have obviously forever. maybe making a run for the other chamber in commerce, talking to people close to you, what else you're going to be taking into consideration. >> michigan is a unique place. anyone from outside the state and doesn't understand that we are politically diverse in
12:56 pm
michigan, we have a lot of different voices at the table. in order to win in a state like michigan, we have conversations with lots of groups. those are the things i'm doing right now. for me it's like you don't just do it to do it. and in michigan, that is the future of work and the economy, so understanding my thoughts on that, i'm trying to get clearer on that as well. >> congresswoman elissa slotkin, thank you very much for being with this afternoon making news. we're learning patients are being moved around in that city, thousands of nurses back on strike for day two. negotiations are happening as we speak, at one big hospital. union reps say they were not talks scheduled at the other. let me bring in nbc's vaughn hillyard. >> we're on day two of this impasse.
12:57 pm
talking about 7,000 nurses between these two hospitals, one in manhattan, the other in the bronx. i have met nurses here from labor and delivery unit, cardiovascular unit, you were talking about the palliative care unit, the -- as you can see here, this is a scene that has been taking place in sunrise. i want to let you hear from two of the nurses why they are here for day two. take a listen. >> we've got 16 patients per nurse. over 200 patients. if we don't do this now, it's going to keep getting worse. it's best to fight now, make a change so this doesn't have to keep happening. >> reporter: the nurses have insisted to me this is about more than compensation. what this has to do with the amount of nurses that are actually on staff here, and they have said, yes, the hospital has
12:58 pm
offered a 19% increase in compensation. they are looking for further certainty from the hospitals that they will increase their staffing. they said, as you heard, we're talking about situations where there is five, six, seven, eight patients for every nurse here. they're working 12 straight hour shifts, they're not able to offer the care these patients here deserve. they said they understand the real implications. they said they didn't walk off the job easily for the last 48 hours, people inside their units right now. they said it's for the good. they have been making these demands for years now. at some point, this time called for them to strike and that's what they're doing. >> thank you very much for that reporting. and thank you for watching a busy hour. "deadline" is next. busy hour. n "deadline" is next
