joining me is cnn political and national security analyst david sang e white house and correspondentor "new york times." so netanyahu says this war will continue for months. how long had he continue to enjoy the full-throated support of this administration considering over the first nearly three months this shift at least rhetorically that we've seen from the biden administration? >> fascinating question, victor, which we have conflicting evidence. so the administration has been pushing prime minister benjamin netanyahu to move to what they call a different phase, meaning much more targeted special operations against the hamas leadership, but an end to what the president briefly last weekend referred to as indiscriminate bombing. you have seen more of that and the death toll rise in the past week. at the same time, on friday night secretary of state antony blinken approved or told congress that he approved an emergency shipment of 155 millimeter artillery shells to israel. but it was the second time they picked a friday night to announce an emergency shipment that sort of gets around

david: now, the white house press secretary says biden has, quote, done everything to fix the border crisis. but, in fact, if you look at his eve done everything to have caused the crisis, no? >> absolutely. look, i retired last year after 27 and a half years, so the first 25 years of my if career every administration was taking steps to secure the border. every one of them. and we had gotten to one of the most secure borders in regards to infrastructure, policies, personnel and just the overall tone. and, yes, he turned it all back after the first few days of his inauguration, and i have soon nothing that has really been proactive to stop the illegal entry. it's all about expediting the flow of people and getting them out of border patrol custody and into the communities as quickly as possible. and that's just not how you secure secure a border. and they constantly conflate immigration, border security. they're closely related, but we have to secure our border. you've seen the numbers coming in. and one last thing, i mean, think about -- i mean, they just reported 45,000 arrests in the last four todays? david: four days. >>

white house in 2024. elizabeth: ford, we've got this news coming in. we want your reaction to this new sound. this is president obama senior adviser david axelrod and again says biden's re-ebig trouble and citing a 37% wall street journal poll. pugh is saying it's 33% approval for biden. we've never seen this in modern american history. watch and listen to david axelrod here. >> "the wall street journal" poll was, you know, very, very dark from a biden standpoint and, you noisy recordings, job approval down, ratings generally down, most of the comparatives with trump not good. only 23% of voters sabledden's policies have helped them -- say biden's policies helped them and only half of them say president trump's helped them and more than 37% say they were hurt. what i worry about you guys from a biden standpoint is these are the kind of things you get when people are starting to rationalize their votes. elizabeth: and, ford, david axelrod last month appeared to suggest president biden should drop out of the race, he said he's got a 50/50 shot. >> well, look, let's put it this way, david axelrod is stating what is obvious to everybody but the biden white house, and that is
