and that, i think, speaks to the ability of slotkin to pose a sort of unifying message.ve to put up a front, because there will be some kind of republican nominee and republicans know that michigan is not a deep blue state. republicans can win there. at the same time, though, slotkin's record as a national security expert, as someone in the cia, someone who, at times, bucks democratic leadership but is reliable on things like prescription drug pricing makes her a formidable candidate. >> daniel, heidi, thanks to both of you. >>> just ahead here, university of georgia football star and someone expected to be one of the nfl's top prospects now facing charges related to the tragic car accident that killed a teammate and a team staffer. the very latest, next. to where they're going. and at chevron, we're working to help reduce the carbonon intensity of the fuels that keep things moving. today, we're producing renewable diesel that can be used in existing g diesel tanks. and we're committed to increasing our renewable fuels production. because as we work toward a lower carbon

elissa slotkin who is running for senate tells me she is trying. it's the center point of her campaign. >> the center piece of a lot of campaigns, i have a feeling. >>> for a look at the housing market as home prices fall for the 7th straight month. we're getting new data showing pending home sales grew a little bit, up .8% in february. help us make sense of what's going on in the housing market? >> reporter: i'll start with home prices. they have been cooling off for seven months because mortgage rates began rising from their record low prices in january, which was the last read we got. we're up close to 4%, compared with january of last year. that annual comparison has been shrinking fast. if you look locally. prices are down now in the west, especially where they were so overheated, sitting like seattle, san francisco, phoenix and vegas. what's keeping under prices in most of the country is very low supply. there are still too few homes for sale, given the continued strong demand. now, as you said, sales were up month to month, but just barely,

congresswoman elissa slotkin joins me, next.ficantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription.

legislation, and that's part of what the president is trying to do here, speaking to the elissa slotkinsthe world. you need to run on this. they think it's a winning political issue, and the power of the gun safety groups is rivaling the nra, and they can get more democrats in congress, and potentially enact more legislation. >> my question right now and we don't have a good answer to this is what happens to the district where this shooting happened? it's a red district. andy ogles represents it. do they change their minds about guns? andy ogles posed for a christmas card with his family carrying assault style rifles. maybe they don't. i wonder, does this make them rethink their position and who they vote for. we will see on that. the debt ceiling, what's the status, what's kevin mccarthy saying about it right now? >> we had a report this morning that there has been no contact between speaker mccarthy and the president on this. we have mccarthy and biden exchanged public letters yesterday, bashing each other. biden is criticizing house republicans because they haven't put out a budget, t

you're set to talk with congresswoman slotkin. talk to me about what they would do.hy these bills would be different from other gun safety measures that have not moved and what the speaker is saying about any of this, if anything. >> reporter: yeah, i'll sit down with slotkin who is introducing these two bills alongside those students from school shootings that happened in her district 11 months apart. now, her bills have to do with the transfer of firearms. the first would prohibit anyone convicted of a misdemeanor that either carried, possessed or used a firearm from being transferred that weapon from a family member or anyone else for up to three years. the second also in that vein has to do with preventing a firearm transfer unless there is a one-week cooling off period. now, i just want to point out here, both of these bills slotkin began working on in the wake of the oxford high school shooting last november, of course reignited to do more on gun safety after the michigan state shooting last month. this had nothing to do with the shooting in nashville, but just

well, now one member of congress is picking up that mantle, democratic congressman elissa slotkin ofn her state. julie, i know you just spoke to the congresswoman. what did she say about the bills and their prospects? >> reporter: yeah, she told me flat out no, she had no assurances from speaker carte carte for getting votes on the floor for her piecemeal bills that would -- try to obtain firearms through a family member or friends, even those she work on the in the wake of two shootings that took place in her district at oxford high school and michigan state university just last month have dim prospects here in a republican government. i asked her about this. here's what she had to say. >> i challenge any of my fellow lawmakers who are rejecting having this conversation to sit down with young people who have been in this situation. sit down with kevin devin and dylan and have them ask questions. the heart will not let you sit idle. these folks are either not meeting with young people who have lied through violence or they just don't care, care more about their political careers and

open seats in california and michigan where reps katie porter and alyssa slotkin are running for senate strategy to see it play out for your party? >> the strategy is we are going on offense. we saw this past election cycle the american people were looking for leadership. house republicans ran on our commitment to america and economy that's strong and nation that's safe, a future built upon freedom and government that's accountable and in new york, we are going on offense and importantly, in the first three months of the majority. over 30 were passed on a bipartisan basis, unleashing american independence, fundamental freedoms, getting rid of the punitive covid mandates, we are hitting the ground running and make sure we deliver the results and ultimately grow our majority in 2024. >> sandra: i want to ask you about what we are waiting at this hour, and president trump expects to be arrested tomorrow as new york law enforcement we have been told is preparing for the possible indictment. i want to get your reaction to that as we await anything in the next hour or so on this. >> this is a

alyssa slotkin was on the problem yes program yesterday and she said, the terrain is shifting right now it. i'm in a swing state, i'm running statewide. what do you think? >> i don't think it's going to shift among republican politicians. it could be shifting with voters, who get to hold a republican politicians accountable, and that will be the ultimate test. we have a generation of republican politicians who basically have been indoctrinated from the time they entered politics, alongside the and are a gun lobby talking points, and i think you're seeing that from thomas massie. the reality is, even if there's truth to the fact there's not been a school shooting in the schools that arm teachers, i would suggest causation, or correlation does not imply causation. and secondly, inevitably, chris, there will be and thomas massie will be proven wrong. the data point that should inform all of our judgment on gun deaths is that the united states, per capita, for 100 people, has a higher density of gun ownership by a rate of 3 to 10 times than other developed countries and we have 3 to 10 time

this included congresswoman elissa slotkin, and this included, who knows who else? this deranged band would have tried to target and kill simply because they were jewish. and as we talked about on your show before, the epidemic of antisemitism is intensifying and it is very frightening. >> why? >> i think that there are different reasons why. let's acknowledge, in a world where social media is shaping the minds and molding the public conversation, conspiracy theories. the coin of the realm. and antisemitism, you could call it the oldest conspiracy theory in the book. the idea is that the jews are, again, inventing covid 19 or trying to commit wide genocide. or trying to kill, fell in the blank, children. these are ugly troves that have persisted for centuries across cultures, across continents. and today, they are manifesting in this time. and all of it, all of them i must say are scary. and imagine a world that might not be far off, stephanie, where artificial intelligence is not just shaping our news feeds. it's literally shaping the world around us. and embedded

also reports he was targeting elissa slotkin who is jewish, but this comes in a context in anes upticktivated extremist motivated attempts at violence nationwide. >> so, ken, i just -- we have 40 seconds left or so. the fbi is connecting this with this rise we are seeing across the country it seems. >> that's y right. just ams few weeks ago, there w another incident in michigan, a man has been charged with state and federal charges, making threats to women and children outside a synagogue. this is a national contagion, getting worse, i was speaking tk an fbi official today, very disturbed about it. they say they're on top of it. there is only so much the federal government can do.so this is a whole of government of program. >> ken dilanian for us, thank you. >>> up next, what iranian officials think might be behind more than 100 alleged poisonings of school girls. we'll be right back. d poisonings of school girls. we'll be right back. it's deeply uplifting. yes, it is. we're walking in their footsteps. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no. he's making real-time m

jewish members of michigan state government, including the attorney general and congresswoman elissa slotkin, a federal official. court documents say he threatened to use deadly force if police pulled him over for his expired license plates. the fbi said they learned he had been previously arrested on assault charges and he owned a number of firearms including handguns, shotguns and rifles. a twitter account that the fbi said is connected to carpenter says he was fired from the university of michigan for refusing a covid-19 vaccine. the university saying it employed carpenter for ten years and let him go in 2021 but has not said why. he's being held without bail in federal court, jose. >> ken dilanian in washington, thank you very much. >>> the defense in that alex murdaugh trial is starting back to its closing arguments. let's listen in. members of the jury back in. so they are about to enter the courtroom. there you see murdaugh with his legal team, conferring. and they're about to begin this -- they took that short ten-minute break as the defense arguments, the closing arguments were unde

show parents where they stand in massachusetts senator ed markey and michigan congresswoman elissa slotkin reintroduced legislation wednesday to boost the cdc's firearm safety and gun violence prevention research to guide evidence backed. >> data-driven solutions that will help save lives. the should not be a partisan or divisive issue, but republicans prefer other ways to combat gun violence. the way to do this is to harden the school. arkansas congressman bruce westerman and georgia congressman drew ferguson want to focus on the perpetrators, not their weapons. if you're evil and you're going to do harm. >> you do it with a gun. you do with a car, you'll get with a knife. you do with a break. and alabama congressman jerry carl said it's still too soon to be debating solutions. the biggest thing we can do right now is be still and be quiet. we have to give the families time mourn. >> and first lady jill biden will attend a candlelight vigil tonight in nashville for the shooting victims and their community. >> in washington, i'm jessi tenure. the shooter in the nashville deadly mass shooti

there are reports that congresswoman elissa slotkin was among those he was targeting, and this isn'tichigan, another man was charged with making anti-semitic threats in a synagogue in dearborn. as you said, this is a national problem, anti-semitism and anti-semitic violence are on the uptick, according to groups and the fbi. a disturbing case. >> thank you for that. >>> meantime communities and food banks are bracing for a tidal wave of need now that the expanded s.n.a.p. benefits have expired. it's a dark reality for millions, and the local places trying to help, according to the colorado gazette. food banks say they are struggling. in missouri, the lines are out the door already. and in washington, food banks are bracing for a hunger cliff after the benefits that have become a necessity are expiring. >> do i pay my rent? do i give my children lunch money? do i pay my car note, my car insurance? >> the cost of surviving has increased. just to have the loss of s.n.a.p. benefitted being increased because of covid it's going to hit home for a lot of families. >> it's sad, it's hard. yo

the criminal complaint does not name others but there's a report that congresswoman elissa slotkin who posting these threats on twitter, i've reviewed that account. it's full of rantings and ramblings, it's clearly the work of a very disturbed person and what the fbi says is once they began investigating they learned that the state police was also investigating this man for the theft of a handgun and learned from his mother that he possessed weapons including a high-powered military-style rifle which got them very concerned. they tracked his phone and ended up arresting him. he's now charged with making these threats and he's in custody in detroit, aaron. >> you know, ken, we've talked a lot about the rise in anti-semitism and violence connected to it in the last few years. the anti-defamation league says there were more than 2200 incidents in the country. how aware is the federal government? is it taking action to address this. >> reporter: aaron, this is a difficult problem as you might expect for the federal government to really tackle. but the biden administration is trying to do t

these things moving forward in this congress and in the american allies at with my colleague elissa slotkinnd, that we can help provide them, making sure we can do things to help move our energy. one of the three pillars of the theme this morning, and i think that what we have seen is that putting energy security in in country-- people talk a lot about energy independence as kind of a buzz word without necessarily attaching specific policy to that and i think we're having much more in depth conversations about what that actually means, that energy independence means security, but understanding, also, how this global eco system works. i keep using the word eco system and that's how it is. upstream, midstream, downstream, the refining and challenges we have with refining capacity and chairwoman rodgers talked about certain kinds of energy and we have support for bringing this together and encompassing all of the above eye approach. and we're also a wind state. and in texas you're putting a puzzle with pieces to fill different needs and that's the conversation that we need to continue to have

michigan congresswoman and senate candidate elissa slotkin condemned the tweet and called for the michigantermination of 6 million people is hateful and ignorant, and it comes from party leaders who are out of ideas and catering to the fringe of the fringe. matt brooks of the washington-based republican jewish coalition calls the post absolutely inappropriate and offensive and said they should be removed immediately. in response to the backlash, the head of the michigan gop, an election denier and a failed secretary of state candidate, stood by the post. writing in a statement, in part, our second amendment was put in place to protect us from tyrants. michigan gop stands by our statement. michael steele, there are no words. >> no. >> except that the danger of trumpism and right-wing extremism and conspiracy theorists and down right racists, it's still so real, it's palpable. >> it is. and it is metastasized in the michigan party, which has been sort of, you know, bat you-know-what crazy for a while now. it's culminated in the election of this chairwoman, who clearly is tone deaf, not just
