leigh ann is strong enough for her mother to hold her. >> did you think this moment will be possible?i never expected they would survive. i kept on crying that i found them alive. >> -- is the only mother here. >> when you see this row of babies without moms, what goes through your mind? >> who will raise them without a father and mother? who will raise them, and who will take care of them? what kind of care will they get when they returned to gaza? >> nbc news correspondent erin mclaughlin joins me now. just absolutely heartbreaking, and incredible -- in that moment, i got teary eyed there. it's just, i don't have words to describe it. but, just tell us, i mean how are these babies doing now. certainly we saw the ones in those clips -- who made their way to egypt, perhaps they are the lucky ones, and -- who stayed behind with his family now, in this situation? well -- are doing very well. they had been released from the hospital. they are staying with a relative and their mom in cairo. -- is a different story. you saw there, his parents make that incredibly difficult, horrifying deci

cnn's jeff zeleny, leigh ann caldwell of the washington post, and cnn's evan perez. evan, i want to start with you because part of the reason the big reason why as dan goldman said, in a classic dan goldman soundbite, that this is the nail in the coffin of the impeachment inquiry is because the republicans were relying a lot on an fbi informant who has now been arrested because he allegedly lied to the fbi specific typically about the things that he said about the bidens, the doj informant made it all up. this is these are the allegations against this important. he's still actively peddling new lies that in compacted that could impact us elections. he claimed that russian officials fed him information about hunter biden will look, i mean, this is the last gasp of this of this effort by the republicans, but we should be clear that they had really turned up very little to show for what they've been pursuing. so even before the charges against the informant, alexander smirnov, the this was a petering out effort, right? it was an effort that was already having trouble be

chaos joining me now to break all of this down is my great panel of reporters, the washington post, leigh ann caldwell, cnn's eva mckend and kevin >> fry of new york. one. >> nice to see you all let's just kind of set the table here with how much is being spent. and specifically where the money is being spent when it it comes to the issues because that's a good roadmap of where the parties and the campaigns think this is going to be decided on the democratic side. i'm actually surprised to see that abortion the ads ron 4.5 million on abortion and 4.54 million on immigration. and then law enforcement social security, and veteran's, a because everybody is talking about the border and that clearly is where republicans are putting their money 8 million on immigration, then law enforcement taxation, crime, and the economy. you cover >> new >> york. for new york one you've been covering this race in particular, what? what are you seeing? >> well, i mean, look, when you comes to those ads, one of the thing that's interesting is that obviously there are hitting on abortion that hasn't necessarily res
