hey, jacqui. jacqui: good to be with you, i'm jacqui heinrich. in a victory for trump, and the 2024 election cycle. alex has this for us. >> let's start with the drive by the biden-harris campaign. it offered bullet points and did not hold back. inside the maga plan to attack and ban the abortion pill. tying the former president to restrictive abortion policies. the biden team says the campaign as a whole will hit full steam by early summer, but a push is evident now to connect more so with black and hispanic voters. yesterday the president commuted the sentences of 11 people in prison for nonviolent drug offenses and on wednesday touted bidenomics with a focus on minority businesses. >> it's a fundamental break from trickle down economics, economics that super charged my -- was super charged by my predecessor, the guy who thinks we're polluting the blood of americans these days. he cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, shipped good paying jobs overseas, shrank public investment in infrastructure and education. >> that was said at the s

i'm jacqui heinrich. president biden spoke with his mexican counterpart as it threatens hundreds in millions facility, biden administration is choosing not to send migrants to ice detention centers that are sitting completely empty. what is the reason for that. >> jacqui: complete coverage now, texas lieutenant governor dan patrick responds, but first, william in the los angeles newsroom. why aren't the ice facilities being used? >> jacqui, the president has said he does not want to use them. otherwise, does it make sense to be releasing thousands of migrants a day with a slip of paper, while thousands of detention beds taxpayers paid for daily go empty. take the center in california. 2000 beds, fully staffed, and operational today, yet housing just six immigrants. why? one answer is the administration told congress the last two years it only needs money for 25,000 detention beds as it tries to fulfill the president's promise to close facilities for immigrants. >> there should be no private prisons period

jacqui, hello to you. what's the reaction so far to the latest batch of bad polling for the president? >> jacqui: good afternoon, sandra. another batch of bad polls for president joe biden and the "wall street journal" reports democratic allies are starting to get nervous "those with concerns include former president barack obama, who knows this is going to be a close race, and feels democrats could very well lose the 2024 election." obama worries it's dangerous for democracy. majority of democratic voters, 54% would like to see someone else as their party's nominee as match-ups show biden losing to donald trump and nikki haley, trump by four points, haley by six points and tying ron desantis. according to the "washington post," it's getting to the president's head. biden told a group of close aides the numbers were low, pushing them to know what the campaign is going to do to change it. 11 months out from the election but democratic strategist do think things will change. >> voters are going to go into th

good evening, jacqui. >> geographic to you, bret.rump wasn't running, i'm not sure i'd be running. but we cannot let him win. biden has repeatedly warned that democracy is at stake if trump secures a second term. and he has also said that trump's presidency was his motivation for running in 2020. but, it is the first indication's biden 2024 candidacy could be a question based on the republican field. meantime, the white house is refusing to shed light on what, if any, border reforms they would swallow to secure ukraine funding. today, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy was supposed to address lawmakers virtually to lay out what's at stake in this stalled funding battle. but that never happened. and we don't, yet, have any explanation for why. >> time is really of the essence. >> the pentagon now echoing warnings from the biden administration congress must pass the president's $106 billion request to fund ukraine among other national security concerns over its military will be kneecapped on the battlefield and vladimir putin will

jacqui heinrich is live at the white house for us. jacqui, what are you hearing? >> jacqui: the white house says, jake sullivan affirmed this morning that they are not going to accept a take it or leave it border deal from republicans who are holding ukraine aid hostage. >> from my perspective, we do have to work through border policy and border resources and the president said he's prepared to do that, but the united states cannot walk away from ukraine. it's a matter of getting over this linkage issue or finding a resolution on the border. >> jacqui: in the senate, democrats are worried about the lack of movement. republicans say they are committed to negotiating until an agreement on the border is reached, because they do view ukraine aid as imperative. >> this is a time for republicans to be serious about reaching an agreement. >> support for ukraine and israel is rock solid, i'm going to work to get it done as long as it takes. >> it's not exactly mirrored in the house. speaker indicated republicans don't want to fund a stalemate conflict and need a better st

for that we go to jacqui heinrich. >> karine jean-pierre would not say whether the president supports a lawsuit by the aclu to take down this new texas law or whether the president would support additional action from the department of justice. she did say this. >> this is an extreme law that will not and does not make the communities in texas safer. that's what we see from particular republicans, trying to dehumanize a group of people that are coming here or some of them trying to migrate here. >> the new saw lined by governor abbott allows people to be arrested if they cross illegally. it is set to take effect in march and would make reentry in to texas a state crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison. abbott said texas had to make the new laws because the president refused to enforce the existing ones. biden's inaction has left texas to fend for itself. meantime today, officials defended president biden over bipartisan criticism that he didn't take a greater role in trying to move border policy negotiations forward over the last two months while he was pushing to get this emerg

as reverend jacqui said, this is one of the most heartbreaking moments in my memory, in terms of this kind of situation. the casualties, over 8000 children and over 20,000 individuals who have been killed in massive, indiscriminate bombing. and we also can't forget that israelis are traumatized by what was a vicious and obscene attack on people in the southeast and southwestern part of israel. i don't think that what happened on october 7th has to be brought up every single time, because while it was horrible and unforgivable, we are now dealing with another case, which is also horrible and unforgivable, and must and. and so i am committed to that. i'm a member of rabbis for cease-fire, and i am determined to do everything i can possibly to end this bloodshed, and begin a conversation that allows palestinian and israeli's, jews and muslims, and christians, to live together. we have so much more uncommon than we have that divides us. and it's -- >> i was going to say, as an excellent point, doctor rashid, you the reverend, and -- our members of different religions, but you have some th

jacqui heinrich's with me now. has the white house responded to this report?er: they have, stuart. officials here deny that there is any daylight between biden and harris on israel's mission to eradicate hamas, and moreover, they say if she was not offering advice to the president, that that would be a bigger story. but the news of this private push from the vp for biden and others in the administration to show more public concern for palestinians comes as the white house is also denying that national security adviser jake sullivan told israel they need to end their high intensity kinetic campaign in gaza within weeks not months. officials here told me that that that's not true. sullivan attached no timeline to these discussions, and broadly, the u.s. has not been giving directions the israel, but asking questions and offering advice. sullivan said this morning the u.s. does expect a lower intensity phase will come in the future, and the u.s. is deeply involved in the discussion about the timing and conditions. >> what i heard the minister go on to say was wit
