you heard, again, senator van hollen talk about that a little bit, but people like senator van hollent and the quagmire that exists with hamas attacking israel and the war that continues. i think the president's been very clear about his position, free the hostages. bring in more humanitarian relief for the palestinian people. we know that this war must come to an end. at the same time, i think democrats are going to prepare for a robust convention. what you -- i love his old song. you ain't seen nothing yet because if you think the democrats are only going to val galvanize only two former presidents and not galvanize the entire congress and make sure we can get out our vote, that $27 million will be giving because you have to compete on the ground and there are some voters who will be upset with us, but many more will come to our aid. >> martha: there's money, and that's so important to a campaign, but this is a campaign like no other. y the money, does that matter as much in a campaign like this where donald trump is getting these campaign donations? >> he's hawking bibles and he ha

. >> i want to complement governor wes moore and seven -- senator van hollen, i am proud to have allheir endorsements in this race and they are supporting me. i agree that when we get the infrastructure dollars to rebuild the bridge, it is important those dollars circulate in baltimore city. we want the people to benefit and have union labor. to be able to have the jobs, to make sure businesses and small businesses and minority businesses benefit from the dollars that come to baltimore city. we should be investing in the economy in baltimore city. moderator: that is time. the next question is from jeff barker directed to county executive alsobrooks. >> congressman trone has the ability to self fund his campaign, which gives him an advantage in campaign spending and media buys. would you favor a proposal in which small donations could be matched by the federal government to even the playing field in the future elections? >> what we have seen in this race, first of all, i am so grateful to have the support of a very broad coalition across the state of maryland. that coalition involves

you have senate democrats like chris van hollen of maryland, who by the way author the original naturale any country or recipient of u.s. legal aid to abide by international law. he is some of the will look for that. that report is with the company it. here's what he said this morning >> we are not taking the position that we should not be sending aid to israel. they need to defend themselves. offensive weapons, airplanes, bombs, artillery and everything being used right now in gaza, these are offensive weapons being used. what is says is you should not be shipping more weapons to the israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu government when they are not meeting their commitments, including the delivery of human hearing aid or not complying with international law. >> reporter: in addition to the additional funds the house could approve in the foreign aid package, remember, there are billions of lethal assistance on the line that many congressional democrats, including senator van hollen or urging the president to hit pause on until they get the certification on the eighth. $18 billion

folks, this is going to take time, but governor moore, senator cardin, senator von van hollen, and othersare going to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as possible. folks, we're determined to come back even stronger. we're the only nation that's gone through every crisis that we've had and come out stronger than we went in, and we're going to do it here as well. and once more to make this perilous challenge. you know, because we're the united states of america, there's nothing, nothing, nothing, beyond our capacity when we do it together. think about that. remember who we are. we're the united states of america. nothing is beyond our capacity. may god bless you all, and may god protect our troops, our first responders and all of those who gave their selves, thank you, thank you, thank you [ applause ] thank you [ applause ] . >> president joe biden, a native of the area, going to see the wreckage of the francis scott key bridge and remarking on all the jobs that rely on that bridge, 20,000 jobs in the area trying to urge companies to stay put, to not leave the workers behind. but also using

. >> reporter: senator chris van hollen wants the white house to lay out what repercussions on israel would look like. as the humanitarian crisis in gaza worsens and the number of journalists, aid workers and innocent civilians that have been killed continue to rise. >> we understand the frustration that they have. we share that frustration. and there have been too many aid workers killed by israeli operations. >> reporter: among the latest killed, seven world central kitchen workers. founder jose andres is putting the blame squarely on israel. >> this doesn't seem a war against terror. this doesn't seem anymore a war about defending israel. this really at this point seems it's a war against humanity itself. >> reporter: lawmakers return to capitol hill this week with a full to-do list. the gop-led house is expected to take up a resolution as early as wednesday criticizing president biden's demands for an immediate cease-fire in what some republicans call one-sided pressure on israel with respect to gaza. jericka? >> skyler henry at the white house. thank you. >>> today a safety scare

we expect secretary pete buttigieg to be along with him as well as chris van hollen, senator chris vanas the mayor and governor wes moore, ana. >> and the president has promised to pay for the rebuild, which has drawn some pushback from congressional republicans. where does that stand? >> reporter: and that's to be expected. one of the things that we've heard from the office of management and budget letter, they are saying, quote, we are asking congress to join us in demonstrating our commitment to aid and recovery efforts, and one of the things they immediately did was approve 60 million in emergency relief funds. we also know they established that unified command, which has been putting out information and videos that we've seen of some of the divers even going into the water right now, and they've approved disaster loans. basically ways to compensate some of these families and people impacted by the fact that that bridge is no longer there. that is going to be the next phase as they not only work to reopen the port and some of the channels to get boats back through there, the thing

senator van hollen just mentioned. reports the price tag could reach as high as a billion, if to the more. how much are you asking u.s. taxpayers for in. >> we don't yet know what the price tag is going to be. the thing that we know is that the port of baltimore is responsible for $70 billion of economic activity to the american economy. we know that the key bridge had over 36,000 people who traveled over it every single day, people getting from where they live to where they work, to where they worship, to where they go to school, and so the importance in knowing this is not just a tragedy that has regionl implication, but a tragedy that has national implications, is incredibly important. the port of baltimore is the largest port in the country for new cars and heavy trucks and agricultural equipment and spices and sugar, for us to have a collective and bipartisan response to its rebuild is imperative. >> so the president has vowed to have federal dollars rebuild the bridge. he repeated that again friday. then he added

maryland democratic senator chris van hollen said on cbs face the nation. but the u.s. should not send any more weapons unless israel meets certain conditions. we should not be sending more. >> offensive weapons that israel not to stop them permanently but effectively use our leverage. but wisconsin republican congressman derrick van orden disagrees and says israel is doing everything it has to for nancy pelosi and 40 other democrats to tell the secretary of state to stop sending. >> arms to our closest ally in the region during a time of 4 said constable reporting in washington. i'm basil, john. >> taking a live look outside right now. the 4 zone walnut creek there with the very traffic, a light situation on this monday. yeah, everybody's moving along quite nicely out there. dave, what we've got on tap. >> ok, that looks like we're going to keep with these mild temperatures and bump them up to a little bit on the warm side. don't you know, as we get to the middle of the week, kind a tour spring going on here for you, however. and it does happen in april. looks like in

tied up in the log jam over foreign aid generally speaking, let's listen to i think we've chris van hollen at the senator from maryland, pretty mild mannered guy talking about this a couple of days ago, watch president biden needs to be as serious about ensuring more humanitarian assistance gets into gaza >> as netanyahu has been in making his demands. i mean, we have this situation where the netanyahu government continues to rebuff the president. i'd states time and time again, ignores reasonable requests. and what do we do? we say we're going to send more bombs my view is that a partnership needs to be a two-way street, not a one-way blank check with american taxpayer dollars this it may sound relatively mild mannered. it is a significant shift for senators who are firmly in the mainstream of the democratic party to start talking that way about putting conditions on aid to israel. what do you hear there there ant are you hearing from members about this? >> yeah. i mean, i think it's important to note, it's not just bernie sanders here, right? i mean, this is a significant portion of part

and we turn now to continue the conversation with democratic senator chris van hollen from the statesame topic in terms of the developing policy. because you have been pressing for the white house to ability on the president's own standards for national security and hold israel to account in terms of possibly conditioning military aid. were you clear on what the white house position is? >> i'm not clear. first of all, i should say i'm glad bill burns is in cairo and i hoippe we get a ceasefire and return of all the hostages. i was groolad to see the presid finally say to netanyahu that if you don't follow these -- my requests, that there will be consequences. but the president and the white house have yet to lay out what consequences they have and they want to impose. and we've had a situation where for months the president has made requests to the netanyahu government, they have ignored those requests. and we've sent more 2,000 pound bombs. we can't revert back to that. we have to make sure that when the president requests something, that we have a means to enforce it. >> the presid

. >> reporter: senator chris van hollen wants the white house to lay out what repercussions on israelould look like as the humanitarian crisis in gaza worsens and the number of journalists, aid workers, and innocent civilians that have been killed continue to rise. >> we understand the frustration that they have. we share that frustration, and there have been too many aid workers killed by israeli operations. >> reporter: among the latest killed, seven world central kitchen workers. jose andres is putting the blame squarely on israel. >> this doesn't seem a war against terror. it doesn't seem anymore a war about defending israel. this really at this point seems it's a war against humanity itself. >> reporter: lawmakers return to capitol hill this week with a full to-do list. the gop-led house is expected to take up a resolution as early as wednesday, criticizing president biden's demands for an immediate cease-fire and what some republicans call one-sided pressure on israel with respect to gaza. jericka. >> skyler henry at the white house, thank you. >>> today a safety scare for some
