how frustrating has this war-and benjamin netenyahu in particular, become for the white house? >> there are a lot of reasons. the toll in gaza humanitarian crisis there and trouble getting in supplies has complicated the american plan. they had hoped the war would be brought to an end or temper a cease-fire and they could find ways to get more food and other humanitarian goods into gaza. that has not happened at the rate they wanted. they are frustrated by the public defiance that you are seeing from prime minister netenyahu. part of the challenge for president biden is that prime minister netenyahu, while not necessarily popular among his own, does represent a consensus right now when it comes to military alterations -- operations among people in israel who were not his supporters as a strong sense in israel to continue this operation until they have debilitated hamas and they do not as they have done that yet. hostages are still held by hamas . it is a challenge for president biden. it is not just about israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, even though there is personal

and former white house communications director for president obama, of course. also, former republican congresswoman of florida. so jen, what you make of the president's new campaign message? >> it is just good irish luck of the day that he was unveiling his budget and working up to talk about it that donald trump decided to call cnbc and said he wanted to cut social security and medicare, two widely of unpopular ideas. i think that i know you have paid a lot of attention to the fact that the president had a big gap between president biden and former president trump on who people trust on the economy. and this is when you see sort of prioritizing the budget is what the biden team thinks they can do to make up ground so whether you talk about today, healthcare costs, right? insulin costs or caps for seniors at $35. he wants to do that for everyone. that is a big thing they talked about. tax cuts on the wealthy, that is going to generate a lot of revenue. it is also a big value statement for biden. what they believe about trump voters is that even people who like

joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent, mike memoli and lisa rubin. first off to you, mike. you read the whole transcript. i tried to get you on the show yesterday, you couldn't come on. you said you were doing something special in secret. now we know what it was. you were reading the transcript. does it line up with the way hur described the interview? >> certainly in the mind of democrats, no. that's part of what the reaction was and what we saw democrats attempting to do throughout today's hearing was to enter portions, excuse me, of that transcript into the record. to at one point even ask hur to read in his own words what he wrote about the president and the challenge based on what was in the transcript itself. perhaps biggest flash point had to do with of course robert hur assessing that the president was an elderly man with a poor memory and he cited as evidence to support that assessment the fact that the president could not remember within several years, the year his son died. the transcript does bear out nbc's reporting which had been exclus

and the first lady at the white house. how significant is that? >> well, to president biden to the biden campaign, rfk jr. looms out there as a major political spoiler in his bid for a second term. but for the kennedy family, there is another risk here. they are seeing the possibility and afraid, frankly, that they could see their cousin, their father, their relative tip the election to donald trump and that would spoil the legacy of service that this higher family has had. and that photo, the powerful photo we saw of dozens of kennedys from three generations with the president on saint patrick's day, outside the oval office was such a powerful one. and it really just signaled the beginning of a much more stepped up effort on their part to make it clear to the american people they are squarely behind president biden. we have debates within our family. entitled to their opinion. but this is really shows the concern that democrats have. in a thin election margin so tight, every vote could matter and they need to do more to combat the threat of third
