good morning, kasie. that senior us official is telling cnn that yes, a package was in the wax, as you say, timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the invasion, which is on saturday, but they are expanding that in the wake of the death of alexei navalny. now, in terms of who it will be targeting, jake sullivan telling reporters on tuesday that it will be but punishing people or entities linked to russia's defense industrial base. so that presumably is more linked to what's happening in ukraine, but also elements that power russia's repression he said, we don't know what that means possibly elements linked to law enforcement, the prison service, things like that. they aren't going into detail as yeah. but that would seem to be the area where things have expanded in the wake of the death of natalee. this is not a paradigm shift. this is more entities and individuals being added to the sanctions list. that means asset freezes, travel bans, things like that. will it move the needle when it comes to

kasie >> all right. out of this rather sad story, commander biden has been a pretty bad dog new internal documents show that president biden's family dog commander has bitten us secret service personnel and at least 24 incidents, and that doesn't include other cases that involve executive residents, staff, and other people who work at the white house, an incident back in july reveals just how serious the problem was when the german shepherd bit an agent on the forearm and caused a severe deep open wound. >> source >> says the bidens feel awful and heartbroken over the biting incidents. >> all right, >> coming up, governor ron desantis firing off about donald trump, according to audio obtained by the new york times and the new york post what do you says what happened if trump did shoot someone on fifth avenue and a private us spacecraft enters orbit ahead of an attempt to land on the moon today >> there is, sorry, peter about your father, father, mother. >> thank you. well, that's a little better you have

but how many times have we been here before kasie? >> we have thinking always the families of those hostages. i have to say max, this idea that gaza could be completely demilitarized. that is a massive lift. is it realistic to have that to set that as the condition to rebuild in gaza >> i think what you have to in brazil of the foreign ministers are meeting and we've seen them overwhelmingly state that a two-state solution is the way ahead. so a state, as we know it is independent has its own military. i think what benjamin netanyahu is doing here is presenting an alternative to that. and it's far from a state describing the free movement of israeli forces through the gaza area, having approval for all the building, contractors that go in. and crucially, they will not be able to have a military. there will be some weapons and this to only those required really, for effectively the police to maintain a law and order. but as far as that's as far as it'll go in terms of how israel looks at it. i think what we're really seeing there is be

i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. voters are voting primary voters in michigan head to the polls just an hour from now, today is a critical test for president joe biden. and it's not because he's at risk of actually losing outright it's about the state's significant arab american and muslim community and how much they are hurting over the war in gaza gaza they want to make a statement. michigan congresswoman rashida tlaib is urging her fellow democrats to choose uncommitted instead of backing biden it, is awesome for it to create a bode plot something that is a bullhorn to say enough is enough >> the president made a stop yesterday for ice cream after he taped an interview for late night with seth meyers while he was trying to polish off this cone he had this to say about a possible ceasefire in gaza >> my match security adviser tells me that we're close. we're closer, not done yet. my hope is by next monday, we'll have a ceasefire all right, let's bring in cnn political director david chalian. david, i'm so grateful

i'm kasie hunt. it's great to have you with us when voting first cast their ballots in the michigan primary. today, we're going to find out just how vulnerable president biden might be because of his staunch support for israel. the president's refusal to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza has alienated many in the state's arab american population. they of course, helped tim flip the state in 2020. michigan congresswoman rashida tlaib has been urging her fellow democrats to choose uncommitted over biden awesome to create a bode plot, something that is a bullhorn to say, enough is enough >> listen to president biden trying to address the concerns that she raised there in this appearance on late night with seth seth meyers last night. >> there's a process underway that i think if we get that temporary ceasefire we're going to be able to move in a direction where we can change the dynamic and not have a two-state solution immediately. but a process to get to a two-state solution process to guarantee

i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to be with you on the eve of the michigan primary, donald trump is dominating and nikki haley is soldiering on as her future in the nomination fight becomes increasingly grim. trump, riding a wave of momentum after trouncing haley by 20 points in her home state of south carolina, because republican party continuing to fall in line the number two senate republican john thune of south dakota endorsing him over the weekend. nikki haley's campaign meanwhile says that they raised $1 million after her saturday night's speech. but the big money starting to dry up, one of her biggest backers, the koch brothers. announcing they're cutting off funding for her campaign. haley says she's staying in at least until super tuesday, warning that trump is divisive and a loser in the general election. >> the >> former president, of course, does not see it that way >> i have never seen the republican party so unified as it is right there. >> i said earlier this week that no matter what hap

i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. >> we're going to start there. the supreme court agreeing to decide whether or not former president donald trump is immune from criminal prosecution for the actions he took on and leading up to january 6, it's a move that the court made that plays right into donald trump's deflect and delay strategy. and it really is a big win for the former president who's doing everything legally possible to push his trial dates past the november election. the justices are going to hear arguments in late april on this a ruling not expected until late june. meanwhile, in illinois judge has removed trump from that state's ballot based on the 14th amendment's insurrectionist ban. the former president's legal team has a narrow window to appeal the decision. the supreme court's already considering whether states have the right to remove a candidate from the ballot. joining us now to discuss all of this is white house reporter catherine lucey. catherine, good morning to you. it's great to be here in studio with you in-person for sure.

i'm kasie hunt. it's thursday, february 1st. wow, february already. it is 5:00 a.m. here in washington. it's also 5:00 a.m. in delaware, where the biden campaign is waking up to new data that may give them new hope. president biden pulls ahead of donald trump with a 6-point lead in a hypothetical head to head matchup. this represents a snapshot in time. there are nine months to go before the general election. but it's still a notable shift from december when the same poll found a biden-trump race to be too close to call. this comes after republican voters have started to weigh in and biden has started to engage more aggressively on the campaign trail. it could give a glimpse into how voters are reacting as the likelihood of donald trump as the republican nominee becomes more real. it's also notable that the gender gap has grown significantly here since that december poll when biden was favored over trump by 12 points among women voters. at the end of january, quinnipiac found it was 22 points. let's

i'm kasie hunt. it is thursday, february 8, 5:00 a.m. on an historic day in washington. the supreme court will consider a question that has never before been asked. did donald trump engage in insurrection and if so does that allow him to be disqualified from the ballot before the justices answer has the potential to upend the 2024 race. trump is now for all intents and purposes the presumptive nominee and that is exactly how his party is acting. following his lead congressional republicans have basically descended into chaos. in the senate leaders will try to salvage something from the collapse of a laboriously negotiated border deal, that measure would have traded the most conservative immigration policies in decades for aid in ukraine. but republicans were unable to muster enough votes toness at bill after donald trump started will be biing against it. >> donald trump wants days on. donald trump does not want success at the border. he wants chaos and if he became president, i doubt he'd ever solve

i'm kasie hunt. it's monday, february 5th. it's 5:00 a.m. here in washington. we now know the details of the long awaited border deal and foreign aid package that senators have been negotiating for months. the $118 billion package would give the president powers to significantly restrict illegal migrant crossings and curb asylum at the border. that would break with decades long protocols. the deal includes more than $20 billion for border security, roughly there are 60 billion for ukraine and $14 billion for israel. but the legislation is at real risk of failing in a high-stakes senate vote this week as republicans face down defying former president trump if they are going to vote to advance the measure. even if it does pass in the senate, the house speaker mike johnson says it's already dead on arrival in his chamber. now majority leader chuck schumer is urging lawmakers to put aside political differences and pass the deal that just like he did with minority leader mitch mcconnell. >> we cannot let

i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us voters in michigan have spoken president biden and donald trump easily winning their primaries last night, making a november rematch, more likely than ever. but the outcome did expose weaknesses in both candidates. biden captured roughly 81% of the vote, but 13% of democrats checked the uncommitted box their way of protesting the president's support of israel in its war with hamas. president biden did not mention those detractors in a statement that he released last night. instead, he simply thanked the michigan voters. meanwhile, donald trump easily defeating his only remaining republican challenger, nikki haley, in a call to supporters, trump looks ahead to the general election shan telling them, quote, we would michigan, we win the whole thing. but of course, nikki haley's still hanging on. she told cnn's dana bash last night she's going to continue to campaign and is looking forward to super tuesday in just a week we are in, all the super tuesday

i'm kasie hunt. it's great to be with you this morning over the weekend, former president donald trump won more than 60% of the vote in south carolina, beating nikki haley in her home state still, that means nearly 40% of republicans in that conservative southern state did not vote for trump. haley made clear this weekend that she won't drop out of the race when so many voters on let's be honest there on both sides of the aisle they're not happy with their choices for president haley herself, even sounding at times like a third party candidates >> i'm not giving up this fight when a majority of americans disapprove of both donald trump and joe biden. we can't afford four more years of biden's failures or trump's lack of focus >> all right, joining me now is another politician who is worried about polarization and partisanship in our country so much so that he considered pursuing his own third-party presidential run. senator joe manchin, democratic west virginia senator. thanks so much for being here.

really awful situation for these folks in the texas panhandle yeah. >> kasie. so the video you showed just a moment ago, you saw that kind of a fire whirl that is extreme fire growth and a very erratic behavior. look at this video of the smokehouse creek fire and the texas panhandle jumping over the highway. i mean, this is just really incredible to watch that unfold. these are the difficult conditions that not only residents and firefighters are dealing with on the ground, but so was the agriculture and the cattle look at these cattle just fleeing for their lives, moving away from this billowing smoke that by the way, is being fueled and moved by 50 mile per hour winds. that was late in the day yesterday. this still has zero 0% containment. this is a significant fire, but there are other several fires ranging from 20 to 60% containment at the moment, but the smokehouse creek fire that is the big one. this is the fifth largest wildfire in texas history, really saying something. and so was this, this is satellite imagery. the moment a cold front pass through the
