8:00 am
it requires medications, anti-parasitic medications. and in some cases of my require surgery i will say this, that because of the location of these these types of cysts, they're not usually associated with memory loss because i think that's what took rfk to the doctors in the first place, memory lives in generalized brain fogginess typically it's more associated with if any symptoms headaches and seizures and things like that well, yeah, that was one thing i was wondering sanjay, and that is how might this affect somebody's cognitive function the way their brain functions? not typically, jim, i think there was a couple of things in the article they said that could this be causing the brain fogginess? >> not typically, you might find it because someone is getting scanned for these symptoms and then they see this so that would be considered more of an incidental finding. >> and if it's calcified, not causing any inflammation really, you don't necessarily need to do anything about it. another thing that was
8:01 am
mentioned in the article was mercury poisoning that he talked dry about saying that he had ten times the level that could be more associated with brain fog or memory loss. but even then, it's a whole host of symptoms that might be associated with it all right. >> we knew you were the perfect experts ago two on those, sanjay. thanks a lot. really appreciate it. now we do want to note rfk jr. told the times he had recovered from the memory loss and fogging has had no after effects from the parasite. he says, and he said that did not require treatment. the times asked last week if any of kennedy's health issues could compromise his fitness for the presidency in a spokesperson responded, quote, that is a hilarious suggestion, given the competition, that is a quote from the spokesperson and c9 has reached out to his campaign, have not heard back. and the next hour i've seen a newsroom starts right now this morning, court is not in session and donald trump's criminal hush money trial, but he's not giving it a rest
8:02 am
lashing out on social media at the prosecution the judge and yesterday salacious testimony tomorrow hill, once again, face stormy daniels, the porn star he allegedly had a sexual encounter with yesterday is sorted testimony, part of which the judge admitted was, quote, better left on the side clearly irritated the former president who cursed and shook his head, earning ma harsh rebuke from the bench, but it was a different for in story down in florida, where federal judge trump appointed handed him a big win and postponing is classified documents case that means trump's hush money trial is likely the only one that he will face before the election. and cnn's beringia and grass has the details are brynn, let's start with stormy daniels it's testimony we're right in the middle of it isn't that right? so this is going to start up all over again tomorrow. >> yeah. we're really starting with a cross-examination when it picks back up tomorrow. that's going to continue and listen, susan nechele, is that to trump's defense attorney was firing questions off that stormy daniels really trying to chip away at her ability
8:03 am
insinuating that she held her your motives here of making money and really questioning her motives and her story as she was testifying there on the stand. let me read one exchange that they had from uh, yesterday as nechele says, am i correct that you hate president trump? >> yes. daniel says, & you want him to go to jail? nicholson said, i want him to be held accountable. she admitted that she hated it's the former president on the stand, obviously, that this could score some points for the defense. so we'll have to see what line of questioning they continue with. haven't even gotten to yet the center of it, which is the hush money payments, are really just tip of the iceberg this point when it comes to the cross-examinati on. now, before that, the prosecution, as you've mentioned, jim was laying out the entire story how she met the president back in 2006 going into great detail about their sexual encounter. of course, that's something that the president has always denied, denied, denied. and as you said, also judge
8:04 am
essentially throwing in some objections of his own saying that it was really going a bit too far, that actually had the defense asking for a mistrial at one point during the trial yesterday, the judge saying, listen, they're not at the point of a mistrial, but admitting there that there was some things that were better left unsaid and really giving permission into the defense to really bring up those points on cross-examination. so we expect to see more of that, but certainly a lot to digest for those jurors yesterday, jim, we are told from our court reporters inside that they were taking a lot of nodes and that testimony is going to pick back up tomorrow. >> all right fascinating stuff, brynn graphs. thank you very much joining me now is seen in legal analysts, former chief assistant da for the manhattan district attorney's office karan freeman agnes below and karan, we should note your council for a firm that represents michael cohen. you've had an attack. we're cohen don't work on his case& no restrictions on what? but you can say about this case. i
8:05 am
want to get that in there, but i karan main takeaways from this testimony. i mean, what what about some of the complaints? from the defense about some of the sorted details that were laid out to the jurors. i seem to recall donald trump wants explaining things as locker room talk. well, i mean, if he's explaining things as locker room talk out on the campaign trail i do. we expect it to be like shakespeare in the park, in the courtroom when it comes to talking about what went on between him and stormy daniels well, interestingly, it wasn't a salacious is i think some people are making it out to be. i mean, i think she mentioned they had sex and that it was in the missionary position. there is no graphic, detailed descriptions of anything. but that being said, the reason the detail was brought out by the prosecution is because they have called her a liar. they have said that this never happened. and so the prosecution brought out lots of details, not just about that,
8:06 am
but also the room look like what elevator she took up, who was outside, what he was wearing. it's all because the level of detail can go towards assessing somebody's credibility on whether it actually duly happened or not. and incredibility is obviously always an issue when you're testifying and you swear to tell the truth. so that's the purpose for bringing it out so it could have been much more salacious and i wanted to. >> ask you about this trump appearing to be agitated during some a stormy daniels testimony& at one point, the judge judge merchan admonishing him for cursing, shaking his head during the testimony. i suppose that's one thing that we're all waiting to see. you know, if if the volcano erupts today and he says something that might get them in the cross hairs of this judge how do you think things are going inside the defense team right now? in terms of how they're feeling about their client today look who knows, right? nobody knows what goes on in
8:07 am
the defense team, but but reports are that he's frustrated. >> he doesn't think they're being aggressive enough and that they aren't attacking more. and so if that's the case they still have a job to do and they are going to do their best to only ask questions that are relevant, admissible, and not get the judge angry. but in addition to getting the judge angry in that admonishment that you just referred to about when trump was cursing and shaking his head audibly. so the jury could hear the judge use the word that that's contemptuous, so meaning like like rhie, him to stop because that could be he could be held in contempt, which is similar to the gag order which the judge has said he doesn't want to put him in jail, but he will have no choice of trump doesn't listen. and mr. blanche, his attorney, assured the judge that he will talk to his client. >> well, and so that leads me to this question. so he starts doing this again tomorrow if she's under cross-examination
8:08 am
and she's saying thing things that gets under his skin and he starts start muttering and whispering expletives and so on might the judge act he could he he he specifically warned trump in the decision on the gag orders, the two decisions that he rendered where he held them in contempt the first-time nine times the second time, one time. >> and he specifically said, look, i don't want to have to do this, but if i have to you will leave me with no choice and the judge could, for example, put him in jail for an hour or over lunch, or for the de it doesn't have to be for a period of time. and he could do that to send trump a message that look, i'm not kidding. i'm serious here. and so the judge does not i don't want to do that because look, it would it would be very big news. it could appear on everybody's phones as alerts, including the
8:09 am
theory. and this is something you would not want the jury to find out because it could be prejudicial. so the judge is going to do that only as a very last resort for that reason. >> all right. karan, thank you very much. appreciate it. let's discuss with someone who's worked closely with donald trump in the past. so former trump senior white house advisor, amoroso manner galt newman, omar rosa, great to see you as always, and we should note, your your time with trump goes back a long way all the way back to the first season of the apprentice. so and you also authored the book on hinged, which gave us a real inside account of the trump white house omar rosa what your reaction to all all of this. i mean, the judge warning trump does simmer down and not mutter these expletives in the courtroom sound like trump behavior. do you it does, but on the campaign trail, we used to say, let trump be trunk, or even in the white house, we would give him space to express himself. but the courtroom is not the place for his tangents.
8:10 am
>> the way he's behaving is just completely unorthodox, but i'm kinda with the judge in terms of him taking a restraint approach to punishing donald because donald has already calculated the punishment in his campaign strategy. >> i believe that he wanted to be locked up even for a short amount of time, so he could be a martyr and you can use who's it for fundraising advance his narrative that he is being persecuted yeah. and what did you think of? because i seem to remember them, rosa, you were around during the later days of the 2016 campaign, maybe it was a whole good portion of it. you can correct me on on all of that and then beginning days and months of the trump white house in 2017, how was her talk of stormy daniels going on at that time that you were aware of that you are party to that maybe you you overheard how much of a concern was this back during that time? >> well, as you know, jim, we were mostly consumed with the access hollywood tape you
8:11 am
weren't even aware that this stormy daniels thing that was brewing until the headline started to pop up as a campaign matter, we had a woman issue, right? and so this would of course, be detrimental to him, which is why i believe he did work to silence her and to use this hush money payments to keep it from pup becoming public. but no, we weren't aware. at least in the general campaign about this hush money payments until it became public. to all of us and i did want to ask you um, rosa, you wrote in your book that you were offered a hush money of sorts after being luck go by the trump white house. >> and i seem to recall when i was reporting on the white house during those days, there was talk about staffers being asked to sign ndas and so on, that they didn't want staffers leaving the white house and talking about what they witnessed by how much of that was going on. was there a hush money ofir some sorts to, you?
8:12 am
>> yes. as i wrote in my book on hinge, certainly there was an offer from laura trump's specifically for i believe it was $20,000 a month. so that i would not talk about the things that i observed or that i experienced on the campaign. and apparently this was common practice. if you look at his financial disclosure reports there. were a lot of people who were not doing necessarily do as its central amount of work that they were getting about the same amount that i was offered. so it's very clear to me this is a pattern of behavior that donald uses in order to keep silent along with those ndas so when you hear about the details in this case of payments to stormy daniels and payment's going to michael cohen and allegedly to cover up the payments are stormy daniels. >> this rings true to you. this sounds like something that trump and his inner circle might have hatched as a scheme it's certainly does sound like his mo, but i think that one of the things that we're missing is the x factor, which is
8:13 am
michael cohen what we expect to hear from him and how i believe that many people are underestimating him. >> michael knew everything and i truly don't believe that he's disclosed everything that he knows. >> the truth x factor in these proceedings will be michael collins appearance all right. >> fascinating. omar rosati, i think in television you both though, that is called a tease. so we'll be watching for that great to see you tomorrow. so thanks a lot. really appreciate it. if all right. >> still had this our israel's military offensive southern gaza is now in its second day just as a us official tells scene and the white house has paused a shipment of large bombs, large conditions to israel overcome discerns about civilian casualties. i'll speak live with an idf spokesman that's next at morgan stanley old school hard work meets bold new thinking to help you see untapped possibilities. and

8:19 am
with our expectations of a massive activation of some 100,000 people that were in that area prior to the operations. and we didn't start the operation until we'd seen that the evacuation had commenced. so while i understand that the concerns are raised, we have to understand that the war against hamas is a legitimate, legitimate war, a war that has to be conducted. it has to be conducted in the international humanitarian law and the moles of one conflict. we maintain that that is what we're doing we are determined to get rid of hamas. hamas have to go curl& administration official told the washington post that quote, israel should not launch a major ground operation in raffa we're more than 1 million people are sheltering with nowhere else to go isn't it true kernel that many of these people have no where to go? how can you conduct an operation of that magnitude in an area where people are essentially trapped
8:20 am
jim, if we've seen anything throughout the course of this war is that those detractors like hamas, that of telling that a telling people not to evacuate out of harm's way or even unrwa that said that they will not call on people to evacuate out of harm's way. >> i'm not doing any favors to the people of gaza we are in a war against a merciless terrorist organization as utilized. the powers of government to accumulate a huge amount of military force and military capabilities. there are four battalions four battalions of hamas currently in the raffa area. they just in the last hour or so, launched more rockets and mortars to war israel towards the kerem shalom crossing that we opened today, today. >> hamas have to go in order for us to fulfill our mission of bringing home 132 remaining hostages on one hand and relieving us from hamas on the other hand, there are only two ways to do it. >> either hamas unconditionally surrendered or we go in with
8:21 am
military force now, i don't see any way that hamas is actually going to surrender. so if you're expecting us to surrender our safety and security to hamas because they're hiding behind. their civilians, then that's an unreasonable expectation. >> we have you have intelligence. do you have information that suggests that that is where you will find leaders of hamas in that area where you're planning to conduct this operation, where you're conducting this operation? >> so in the last three days, we've seen that there are increased rockets and mortar fire from the rough er area, specifically towards kerem shalom, the main humanitarian crossing between israel and the gaza strip. why are hamas attacking the kerem shalom crossing? they want it shut. why do they want it shut? because they want more suffering? people have gaza. so i would say absolutely there are hamas leaders, there are hamas commanders. absolutely in the area of raffa and broader area our operations currently are only only in the eastern
8:22 am
part on the ground, for. but ths determined to win because he had been but kernel, you as you know, there are global concerns about the state of the palestinian civilian population in gaza. and particularly in that raffa area the world food program says that there's famine underway famine conditions underway in gaza, as we speak, are you going to wait for those civilians to fully evacuate from that area before you conduct these operations or are you resigned to the very strong likelihood that civilians will be killed as a part of this so i certainly hope not our operations began a
8:23 am
yesterday morning here in israel after the evacuation of people from the area designated of the operations, whether it's in the area of the raffa crossing or specifically in the eastern parts? >> over the southern most southern points of the gaza strip. so that is where our operations are currently focused in a limited operation on the ground. but we intend to continue. are preparations to take it further. but as we did in the in last three days, we've called on evacuation. we saw that the evacuation was actually implemented and to the areas where we've designated an increased humanitarian zone in them are area. and there are people evacuating to their evacuating to other areas in janiot other areas in der unbalanced. so they're all where are places where people can go. and of course, we have to, not all of them right. isn't that right? >> the colonel? >> not one not all of them. >> not to a degree where you're going to be able to avoid a pretty large number of civilian
8:24 am
casualties, isn't that right so i wouldn't hypothesise. >> i'd say what we do in the precautions we go to our unprecedented in the actions of warfare and modern day warfare. indeed, the massive arcuation, temporary evacuation of people from combat zones to some extent, even put are putting our own force. force is at risk because we see the element of surprise there is, of course, a huge responsibility of a the war fighters of our combat forces on the ground. and of course, as we just showed, just two days ago, that people can evacuate, we operate after the evacuation. that's what we did. that's what we have to continue to do. >> and if you conduct this large offensive in raffa, and yet at the end of the day, you don't capture liters of hamas, won't your stated goals be called into question that you are not. in fact on on a, on a
8:25 am
strategic military path that's going to result in liters of hamas being captured through the methods that you are utilizing, as we speak, that the civilian casualties are coming at a cost and you're not achieving those objectives that you've laid out so what we've seen through the last several months is that we have dismantle the fighting capabilities of most of hamas is battalions and brigades.& the leadership of their terrorist infrastructure. we have impeded extensively on their ability, on hamas is ability to govern in the gaza strip. so i would actually argue that our activities up until now have been successful in achieving that goal. of course, there are 132 hostages that need to be brought back home. every single one of them. they, the hostages are key. there are paramount there. the reason that the war is absolutely necessary, and the war could be over today if hamas unconditionally surrendered and let the hostages go until that does
8:26 am
happen. we have to continue to push forward. we have to press forward and bring home the hostages and make sure that hamas can't operate as they did on the october as an organized military force. that is what they did our activities on the ground. and this is just for your understanding, as we're pushing forward and dismantling degrading and killing the hamas terrorists on the ground. >> it is, it's creating a reality where they cannot operate in an organized manner. >> it doesn't mean that there won't be individual learner you ask no that there is tremendous there is tremendous condemnation that is coming in from all corners across the world that the cost to the civilian population in gaza is too high. you must know that so i understand what you're saying. >> no, you're saying in terms of taking out liters of hamas and achieving these military objectives. and of course, what they were responsible for an october 7 is heinous. but
8:27 am
don't you think you've reached a point now where? i mean, when you're hearing this kind of condemnation coming in from all corners across the globe that the price that is being paid by civilians is so high. there's just, there's just so much you can do if what you're doing right now the price of the civilians israelis and palestinians, are paying for this war are both horrific and tragic. there is no magic prescription to wish hamas away. there is no magic wands that will make them miraculously disappear. if that could happen, that would be the chosen way of operations unfortunately for us to achieve our goals of changing the security reality for israelis and palestinians alike. there is only one way that hamas goes and is through the military action you don't see them raising a white flag. you see them conducting a counter ofir to a deal that israel are generous still that civilians
8:28 am
are saying the civilians civilians folks at the world food program. members of congress here in washington, or essentially been pleading with you to please change these tactics because the cost of the civilian population is too high and hamas is not coming out waving the white flag but, but you are hearing, your hearing from around the world that suffering is as at a point that that has just become too much the suffering on both sides is terrible the suffering the reality on both sides is terrible and indeed we wish for a peaceful resolution. but unfortunately, our enemies that are bent on our destruction have no intention on living side-by-side in peace with israel so what should we do? >> surrender to hamas and hope they don't do it again when they've promised that they will do it again and again and
8:29 am
again, given the charles or that we should hope that 132 israelis that are being held by hamas just let free. they're not letting them free. they're not even willing to negotiate. and we have negotiated data is currently in cairo that have been sent by the government to egypt in order to try and create a deal. but they're not really interested. they're just interested as an organizer. how do you get until the conditions are having? >> how do you get to the conditions of striking a deal if you go into rafah with a kind of operation that is then reported as being contemplated that results in further horrendous civilian casualties. how do you get to a deal? doesn't that get in the way of it. >> so i would definitely hope that a deal can be made and i think that the diplomats have to deal with the diplomacy, whereas the wolf fighters new to conduct the war effort indeed, our ground efforts will only, we were instructed to
8:30 am
operate on the ground in eastern refine on the outskirts of raffa as to say only after that though those attempts had actually been exhausted and therefore, i would say hamas can't be trusted. we need to be very skeptic skeptical about whatever they are saying, and we need to be understand that our operations if and when we are instructed to broaden the scope of operations in the area of raffa will be conducted in a way which enables people to evacuate. we will continue to work with the international humanitarian organizations to secure both food supplies, medical supplies hospitals, shelter where it's needed expanded the humanitarian area in the molasses precisely for that. and indeed have to keep in mind that it is a tragic war. a war that israel didn't want four, once, but a war nevertheless, we have to win. otherwise, we would be giving the upper hand to terrorists around the world. >> our kernel, peter learner, thank you very much for your
8:31 am
time. we appreciate for some analysis. i want to bring in barack reviewed is political and global affairs analyst. he's also the politics and foreign policy reporter for axial rock. i mean, it doesn't sound is so the israelis are going to change their military tactics despite everything that is being sent around the world right now about what we've been witnessing in terms of the level of civilian deve, devastation in gaza well, i think when it comes to raffa, east for now, they actually did make some changes, meaning as you can see, the current operation is not really an operation in rough. it's an operation in the raffa crossings, which is again not the same as say is the difference between washington state in washington dc, but still it's not the same place. >> meaning the raffa across is on the outskirts of the city. these rarely it's reached the crossing through a rhoad that doesn't even go through civilian areas and they're
8:32 am
therefore now i don't know if they're going to broaden this operation. if they do, then it's a different story. but at least at the moment, they went for the let's say, the most mild and the initial part of such of the operation that they've been talking about for a few months now and what do you think the impact is going to be when it comes to the administration hitting the pause button, these plan weapons shipments over to the israelis because of these concerns or what might take place in raffa so i think that's a signal that was a signal and you know, on sunday when i first reported the story about this pause weapons shipments, the whitehouse didn't want to didn't to respond an hour ago, secretary of defense, austin confirm that on the record in front of congress. so i think that in the last few days there was a development in how the administration wants to deal
8:33 am
with this thing publicly. and the israelis obviously are very unhappy about this, but at least for now, this is a nice incident. or let's say an isolated signal. when it comes to the current operations raffa, where we are at that moment, the administration and the white house and president biden don't see what these rays are doing at the moment as a violation of the red line that biden has put forward a few months ago? >> and what do you think about what a kernel learner was saying that the stated objectives that they believe they can still find liters of hamas, the military commanders who have lost in this area where they're operating how does that how does that fly with you in terms of what you know about these objectives in the possibility that they can find these hamas leaders in that area. >> yeah well you know, again, let's put my personal opinion aside here. let's look at the facts in november after the
8:34 am
last hostage deal and cs broke down after a week of a cease-fire, israel resumed its ground operations in gaza strip when to a newness, went to other areas of gaza and it said that military pressure will get the hostages out since then it got to hostages out in the military operation was very successful but nothing more than that. >> and hamas did not really change. its additions in the hostages since then and until today, there were some cosmetic changes, but the main demand that cms has, which is that after the implementation of a deal, the war will end. this did not change even though israel went through all around gaza with its, with its military, it did not work all right, barack ravid. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. we'll be right back. >> thank with cargo ruse,

8:40 am
>> all right, most of this is all a wash. it comes down to whether or not there's a conviction that will have political implications. the rest of this is very much baked in. remember, we had a thing that happened on it late on a friday afternoon during the 2016 campaign called the access hollywood tape. and we all thought, well, this is it. donald trump is doomed because of bad news. about donald trump's character turns out he was able to win through that. so much of this is baked in with voters. they're not following the machinations on this on a minute by minute trial, especially because we're never going to have donald trump trying on the gloves on camera and so forth. they're not watching this live and so whether it's news coverage or late night comedians, it's not breaking through in a way that's going to change anything short of a conviction you kerem, a lot of people are watching this. >> a lot of people were paying attention to this and for all of the complaints from the trump defense team about the level of detail that summary daniel's got into yesterday. i'm going back to the access hollywood, it was donald trump who explained access hollywood is locker room talk. there was
8:41 am
a lot of that kind of level of detail that we heard yesterday. >> that's true. and here's what actually saved him. it wasn't that it was on a friday. it was his wife when his wife came out and said that the no, that's locker room talk. that's i think she said, you know, that's men talk like that sort of thing that actually created the permission structure in 20164 female voters two, then go ahead and vote for him. and obviously as we know, trump is in trouble with women voters throughout his various elections. and certainly he's having trouble in this election cycle galvanizing suburban women, where i think it will matter. i agree with doug that a lot of the back-and-forth maybe people aren't probably tracking. they will pay attention. i think if they learn that trump basically tried to hide this from the electorate, also think there's a question of sure he was trying to hide it from his wife. he may be assumed that if
8:42 am
it came out, what was she going to do? in addition to maybe trying to protect her feelings and all. so i think that's what people are going to, particularly women voters. & any voters who in 2016 might have set who made me still were on the fence in 2020, who might have said maybe. and then this will confirm that, you know what, whatever thoughts you had about trump, you were right. and shouldn't vote for him again you know, doug you might say you might be right that this was all a wash yesterday and trump did get that. >> when out of other declassified documents case where the judge their postpone that case indefinitely. but i wonder if we're kinda losing the big picture on dk he tell that came out yesterday that a lot of folks are not paying enough attention to nikki haley, captured nearly 22% of the vote last night in indiana's republican primary. this continues to go on and there's been a lot of talk and a lot of it's legitimate about the softness and biden's pull
8:43 am
numbers. this, this keeps going on, doug, what do you think of this? >> so that's a very different matter, jimmy, i was what nikki haley's nikki haley's final campaign events in raleigh, north carolina. and the atmosphere in that room was very real and it was a big room. they had to upgrade the space twice to accommodate people now most of those people in raleigh or at other events, or the people who voted for nikki haley are probably going to vote for donald trump. it's what we call post primary coming home, democrats come home after the primaries, republicans come home. but if you're one of those, nikki haley, people who wore a t-shirt that said permanently banned, you're a lot less likely to do that. and if you're looking at it's swing states, arizona, pennsylvania wisconsin, north carolina. that's where a few thousand people here and they're coming to real focus. >> yeah. and wisconsin is one of those dates care and that we're all going to be focused on and the president is going to be in wisconsin to talk about this new $3,000,000,000 investment in a new microsoft ai facility. there. apparently yeah roughly in the same area
8:44 am
where i think the trump had talked about development going up during his administration that didn't come to pass but i mean, do i mean his doug write that most of those folks come home to donald trump, or is this a number here that we're just not paying close enough attention to i think it's a number we need to be paying closer attention to. and certainly the biden campaign is playing close attention to, to understand whether or not they probably are not going to vote for trump. but the question is, could they be convinced to vote for joe biden or are they just going to not participate and either way, again, when we're talking, i remember what it was wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania. we're talking about 22,000 votes, 21,000, right? these are small margin. so if you could even get just those folks who voted in indiana, 21,000 in wisconsin to vote for biden instead of trump. that could be a margin of victory. so people are paying very close attention as we try to understand what's
8:45 am
going on in the electorate. this the very last thing i'll say very quickly obviously, president biden is also in wisconsin today to talk about accomplishments, but also this is a contrast of a promise made, a promise kept versus trump, who made a promise, but it was not able to keep it to the voters of wisconsin yeah. >> and trump has been complaining that because of this stormy daniels trial, he hasn't been able to get out on the campaign trail as much as he would like. he's not doing that today. he's the trial is not happening today and he's not having a rally today. so all right, guys, i care and vinny, doug. hi, thanks. as always, really appreciate it thank you. >> republican congress will in march your taylor green is not backing down from her throat to force a vote to house the house speaker mike johnson. >> his response just ahead if you don't stain your deck, it's like the previous owner is still hanging around so today, let's stay with bare

8:51 am
don't think that she has the support overwhelmingly of the republican conference, so that's known moving forward. >> so i just don't see what her motivations to shut the government down. and i think that leader jeffries is showing that he is a real leader, saying that we're not going to allow politics to overplay the people who are put people over politics. and so we're not going to allow the government to virtually shut down again as other republics lookings had done in the past and i think that's the right move to make. and so i hope she sees the futility of what she's attempting to do, but she will not win long run because it's us as leaders, defterios said, we will table the vote and continue to move on. then the question is where we move from there, but so far, i think thanks. pick johnson has stuck to his guns and i hope that he continues to do that congressman, i did want to ask you about israel and gaza, us official telling cnn at the administration paused a
8:52 am
shipment of bombs to israel over concerns that they would be used in an attack on raffa. >> i believe the defense secretary has said something to that effect. in his testimony up on capitol hill but but yet i was talking to an israeli defense forces spokesman earlier and they seem to be pretty committed to the idea that they need to conduct some kind of an operation in rafah despite what the biden administration is doing with those bombs, what's your reaction wall of that. >> but luck. >> i've long said that the 2000 pounds bonds that we saw exploding in gaza afaf, october the seventh is not the right way to go the deaths of innocent women, children, men who have nothing to do with this should not be in thousands over 34,000 dead i think that the world is with israel and good admitting of hamas. >> but you can't go after ten, 20, or brigade of hamas and
8:53 am
kill thousands of innocent people. there's gotta be a better way of doing it. and i think that's simply what the president of the united states is saying because no one will once hamas to exist, we can not have a two-state solution of which the president wants with hamas still in charge had a conversation with king of doula. yeah. today from jordan, he's saying the same kind of thing. so the world has width as we saw after october the seventh, the world is with israel in regards so the horrendous attack that started this war in the first place. and as we saw the world again with israel afaf, the attacks from iran. the world is there. but we just can't allow the kinds of bombing that we saw take place that destroys entire residences and kills thousands of individuals and so at dialogues and conversations with the president is saying that we have to have in order for him to move forward, i guess, with the weapons that he's now having bad let me ask
8:54 am
you a quick political question. >> i mean, obviously there's this stormy daniels trial going on and in new york right now. and just last night the former un ambassador, nikki haley got 22% in indiana primary, despite the fact that she dropped out of the race a while ago. should president biden reach out to ambassador haley? should there be some kind of outreach from the biden campaign to ambassador haley to see if they can somehow bring bring her on-board. are there some votes out there that maybe the president and his team are overlooking i think that some of the haley vogue because i've clearly not all of them are looking for an opportunity to see how we can work together. >> how we can bring democrats and republicans together and not continuous pleated this country. and i think that if you look at the policies of what joe biden is putting forward, it does just that i think that at the president can i can use to show what we can
8:55 am
accomplish together and how we can change the language of which donald trump has put up, which is just a by that those in the visuals will naturally float to joe biden. so yes, so you reach out to those independence into those republicans who want to continue to spread five to become a more perfect union. absolutely. that's what this thing is all about. that's putting people over politics. and i fully anticipate that that message will go through and the hope is that that and clearly, i think that the former governor haley will hear that message he used to be a diplomat herself in at the un. so she should understand and, and see what joe biden has done and width ukraine war you know, how he's bringing people together in that regards, how he's during the endo pacific together working in japan along with south korea and australia, how he's doing all of those things that she'd know very well needs to take place for us to continue to move forward. so i would hope that she sees that
8:56 am
and that message is what is receptive. and we'll get those voters all right. >> congressman meeks, thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank all right. >> and thank you for joining me in the scene and newsroom. i'm john bokassa, stay with seen an inside politics with dana bash starts after a short break, but first here's this week's chasing life with dr. sanjay gupta i'm dr. sanjay gupta, hosted cnn's chasing life podcast. it's in coffee and tea and sodas, even in some chocolate. so it's probably no surprise that caffeine is consumed daily by 90% of a salts worldwide some researchers call caffeine the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance. it is true caffeine does alter our consciousness, and it also makes us more alert by blocking the action of adenosine that's a chemical in our brains that makes us feel tired. >> that adenosine comes roaring back, which helps explain the all too familiar midday crash. >> but in moderation, caffeine
