>> I’M RHIANNON ALLY, AND I’M LIONEL MOISE. >> IN FOR ANDREW. WE BEGIN WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS FINANCIAL TROUBLES. >> HIS LAWYERS SAY HE’S NOT ABLE TO RAISE THE NEARLY HALF $1 BILLION BOND THAT A NEW YORK COURT IS DEMANDING IN HIS CIVIL FRAUD CASE. TRUMP IS NOW

IN A NEW INTERVIEW AHEAD OF THE UPCOMING TRIAL. ABC’S PERRY RUSSOM HAS THE LATEST, BEGINNING WITH TRUMP’S BOND PAYMENT, WHICH IS DUE SOON. PERRY GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING TO YOU. TRUMP HAS LESS THAN A WEEK TO PAY THE BOND IN FULL, BUT HIS LAWYERS SAY THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. WELL, THEY SAY TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THIS MORNING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LASHING OUT AT THE $464 MILLION JUDGMENT IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL

FRAUD CASE, CALLING THE BOND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UN-AMERICAN. TRUMP ALSO CLAIMING THE BONDING COMPANIES HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A BOND. IT COMES HOURS AFTER HIS LAWYER SAID THEY FACE INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES , HAVING APPROACHED MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR HELP SECURING THE $464 MILLION BOND, SAYING THEY WERE REJECTED BY ALL

OF THEM. THE MAIN REASON BEING TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT HIS REAL ESTATE ASSETS AS COLLATERAL. TRUMP AND HISLDEST SONS WERE FOUND LIABLE FOR INFLATING THE VALUE OF THEIR REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS TO GET FAVORABLE BANK LOANS. THEY’VE BEEN ORDERED TO

POST BOND BY NEXT MONDAY. THEY’RE NOW ASKING AN APPEALS COURT TO LOWER THE BOND AMOUNT. >> THERE’S NO TELLING WHEN THE APPEALS COURT MAY RULE, BUT IF TRUMP. IS UNABLE TO POST A BOND, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL COULD BEGIN TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES. WE’RE NOT SURE THAT MEANS PADLOCKS AND STICKERS ON

THE DOOR, BUT SHE TOLD US SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE TRUMP PAYS. THE CASE. IS ONE OF FOUR CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS THE FORMER PRESIDENT FACES. >> YESTERDAY, TRUMP LOST HIS ATTEMPT TO BLOCK TESTIMONY FROM HIS FORMER FIXER, MICHAEL COHEN, AND FROM ADULT FILM ACTRESS STORMY DANIELS AT HIS UPCOMING

TRIAL OVER ALLEGED HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS TO DANIELS. TRUMP PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS TO PAY DANIELS FOR HER SILENCE ABOUT HIS SEXUAL ENCOUNTER, AN ENCOUNTER THAT TRUMP DENIES. >> I CAME OUT OF A BATHROOM TO FIND MYSELF CORNERED. I DON’T REMEMBER HOW I GOT ON THE BED.

>> IN A NEW DOCUMENTARY, DANIELS SAYS SHE WAS SCARED FOR HER LIFE WHEN NEWS OF THE ALLEGED AFFAIR AND HUSH MONEY PAYMENT CAME TO LIGHT. >> AT ONE POINT, YOU RECORDED LIKE A LAST WILL. >> YEAH, I WAS COMPLETELY SURE THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE. >> STORMY WITH A RECENT

INDICTMENT IS A DANGEROUS TO KEEP SPEAKING OUT IN PUBLIC. >> YOU KNOW, THERE’S THAT SAYING HIDING IN PLAIN VIEW. IF I HIDE AND COWER AWAY, IT JUST SORT OF FEEDS THE BULLY. SO IT’S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE. BUT THE ONLY NAME ANYONE’S EVER CALLED ME THAT REALLY UPSET ME IS A

LIAR. >> AND THE JUDGE IN THE HUSH MONEY CASE HAS ALSO REJECTED TRUMP’S ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE THE INFAMOUS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE FROM THE TRIAL, WHERE HE DESCRIBED IT GRABBING WOMEN. RIHANNA, BACK TO YOU. >> PERRY THANK YOU FOR THAT. NOW TO HAITI, WHERE PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS TO EVACUATE MORE AMERICANS

AS GANGS UNLEASH NEW ATTACKS. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT IS LOOKING TO FIND WAYS TO TRANSPORT U.S. CITIZENS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. NEARLY A THOUSAND AMERICANS HAVE REACHED OUT FOR HELP AS THE CRISIS THERE ESCALATE. MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED DURING A RAMPAGE IN A SUBURB OF PORT AU

PRINCE. HOMES ARE BEING LOOTED AND FOOD SUPPLIES ARE DWINDLING. ABC’S MATT RIVERS IS THERE. >> I’VE REPORTED FROM PORT AU PRINCE MANY A TIME BEFORE, BUT WHAT I SAW TRULY DID SHOCK ME. ENTIRE SECTIONS OF THIS CAPITAL CITY UTTERLY DECIMATED BY THIS VIOLENCE. >> AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS THE

VIOLENCE IS GOING TO LET UP ANYTIME SOON. EVEN AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED, AS THE GANGS HAD DEMANDED, A COUNCIL IS NOW BEING SET UP TO FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT. >> SPRING ARRIVES TONIGHT, BUT IN MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY IT FEELS LIKE SPRING ALREADY SPRUNG WEEKS AGO. THE SHIFTING START OF

THE SEASON IS CAUSING A HOST OF NEW PROBLEMS. FOR MORE BUGS AND BEARS, TO MORE PAIN FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS, THE CALENDAR SAYS. SPRING ARRIVES TONIGHT, BUT FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE UPPER MIDWEST, IT FEELS LIKE SPRING REALLY SPRUNG. WEEKS AGO THIS WINTER WAS THE WARMEST ON RECORD

FOR THE LOWER 48 STATES. AVERAGE TEMPERATURES IN WISCONSIN WERE NEARLY TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE DEEP RED AREAS ON THIS MAP SHOW WHERE PLANTS SPROUTED THEIR LEAVES UP TO THREE WEEKS EARLIER THAN NORMAL. THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN WASHINGTON HAVE ALREADY HIT PEAK BLOOM TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN NORMAL. WHILE MOST OF US

WELCOME THE SUN AND THE FLOWERS IN EARLY SPRING COMES WITH CONSEQUENCES. >> WE’VE HAD A REALLY WARM WINTER AND SPRING AND THAT’S REALLY KICKING OFF OUR POLLEN SEASON INTO A FRENZY QUITE EARLY, NEARLY EVERY REGION OF THE COUNTRY COULD NOW SEE A MORE INTENSE ALLERGY SEASON EARLIER AND LONGER POLLEN SEASONS ARE

SOMETHING WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO KEEP DRIVING IN COMING YEARS. >> FROM POLLEN IN THE AIR TO SMOKE THIS YEAR, TEXAS HAS ALREADY SEEN ITS LARGEST WILDFIRE ON RECORD. OFFICIALS AS FAR NORTH AS MINNESOTA ARE ALREADY WARNING OF A HIGH RISK

FOR FIRES. PART OF THE PROBLEM THE LACK OF SNOW, ADDING TO DROUGHT AND WATER SUPPLY CONCERNS IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. MAPLE SIRUP PRODUCERS ALSO FORCED TO MAKE CHANGES, TAPPING TREES AS EARLY AS JANUARY. THE EARLIER SPRING ALSO IMPACTING WILDLIFE. >> IT IS CERTAINLY STRANGE IN THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY TO SEE

SO MANY BEARS OUT. >> BEARS HAVE BEEN WAKING UP FROM THEIR HIBERNATION EARLIER. PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN WARNED TO SECURE THEIR TRASH AND BIRD FEEDERS. YOU CAN ALSO EXPECT MORE MOSQUITOES THIS SUMMER, EXPERTS SAY LATE WINTER AND SPRING ARE THE TIMES OF YEAR. SEEING THE MOST DRAMATIC CLIMATE

CHANGE. EL NINO IS ALSO A FACTOR THIS YEAR. >> WELL, SPRING ALSO MEANS A RISE IN GAS PRICES AND RIGHT NOW PRICES ARE HIGHER THAN THEY WERE AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 3.47 PER GALLON. THAT IS UP $0.40 SINCE JANUARY AND UP $0.07 IN JUST THE

LAST WEEK. IN ADDITION TO SEASONAL DEMAND, RECENT ATTACKS BY UKRAINE ON OIL FACILITIES IN RUSSIA HAVE ALSO DRIVEN UP PRICES. >> PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAD THEIR FIRST PHONE CALL IN MORE THAN A MONTH YESTERDAY. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE LEADER SPOKE AT LENGTH ABOUT

RAFAH, THE CITY IN GAZA WHERE MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE SHELTERING. BIDEN URGED NETANYAHU NOT TO LAUNCH A GROUND OPERATION AGAINST HAMAS. THEY’RE NETANYAHU AGREED TO SEND A TEAM TO WASHINGTON TO DISCUSS OTHER OPTIONS. >> A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS HAS DESCENDED ACROSS GAZA, AND ANARCHY REIGNS IN AREAS THAT ISRAEL’S MILITARY HAS CLEARED,

BUT NOT STABILIZED. HAMAS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED A SAFE HAVEN IN RAFAH OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION THERE WOULD BE A MISTAKE. IT WOULD LEAD TO MORE INNOCENT CIVILIAN DEATHS, WORSEN THE ALREADY DIRE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, DEEPEN THE ANARCHY IN GAZA AND FURTHER ISOLATE ISRAEL INTERNATIONALLY.

>> THE UN ALSO WARNS ABOUT 300,000 PEOPLE IN NORTHERN GAZA COULD BE FACING A FAMINE IN THE COMING WEEKS, A POSSIBLE SETBACK IN THE CASE OF TWO MURDERED GIRLS IN INDIANA. >> THE SUSPECT NOW WANTS ALL CHARGES AGAINST HIM DISMISSED, CLAIMING EVIDENCE THAT COULD CLEAR HIM WAS DESTROYED. RICHARD

ALLEN IS ACCUSED OF KILLING ABIGAIL WILLIAMS AND LIBBY GERMAN IN 2017. NOW, DURING A HEARING YESTERDAY, HIS LAWYERS PRESENTED EVIDENCE THAT A RECORDING ERROR DESTROYED 70 DAYS WORTH OF POLICE INTERVIEWS IN THE CASE. AUTHORITIES SAY THE VIDEOS WERE ACCIDENTALLY ERASED. AS OF NOW, THE TRIAL IS SET TO BEGIN IN MAY.

>> MORE COLLEGES ARE BRINGING BACK SAT REQUIREMENTS AND THAT IS CAUSING QUITE THE CHAOS AMONG STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS. MANY COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES DROPPED THEIR SAT REQUIREMENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC, BUT NOW SOME ARE BRINGING THEM BACK, WHILE OTHERS ARE MAKING THE EXAMS OPTIONAL. IN ADDITION TO THE CONFUSION, THOUGH, TEACHERS

SAY STUDENTS WHO TAKE THE SAT THIS YEAR MAY SUFFER FROM A LACK OF PREPARATION TIME, IT IS TIME FOR A LOOK AT YOUR TUESDAY WEATHER. >> AS WE MENTIONED, SPRING ARRIVES TONIGHT, BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW IT IN SOME PARTS. SNOW CAME DOWN IN THE CLEVELAND AREA OVERNIGHT. MORE SNOW IS

EXPECTED NEAR THE GREAT LAKES TODAY, BUT THE BIG WEATHER STORY IS THIS MORNING’S TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. FROST AND FREEZE WARNINGS ARE UP FROM TEXAS TO THE CAROLINAS. MANY CITIES ARE BELOW FREEZING THIS MORNING, AND CHECKING TODAY’S HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE NORTHWEST AND ROCKIES COULD SEE RECORD HIGHS. BUT THE MIDWEST AND THE

NORTHEAST STRUGGLE TO REACH 50. IT’S 76. IN MIAMI, 62 IN NEW ORLEANS. >> COMING UP, REACTION TO THE NEW VIDEO OF KATE MIDDLETON. >> ALSO AHEAD, A POTENTIAL BOMBSHELL IN THE CASE OF A UTAH MOTHER ACCUSED OF KILLING HER HUSBAND AND WRITING A BOOK ON GRIEF. WAS HER MOTHER ALSO

INVOLVED IN THE KILLING? >> AND LATER, A REALLY BAD DAY FOR THE STATE’S LOTTERY MACHINES TO GO DOWN THAT STORY. UP NEXT Whenever news breaks, we are here in Israel a nation at war after that brutal surprise attack by Hamas on the ground in Ukraine reporting

INVESTIGATORS NOW CLAIM RICHARDS MAY HAVE HAD HELP FROM HER MOTHER, LISA DARDEN. DARDEN SPOKE ABOUT THE CASE LATE LAST YEAR AND CLAIMED ERIC MAY HAVE

ACCIDENTALLY OVERDOSED ON HIS OWN. >> I BELIEVE ERIC MAY HAVE GOTTEN PAIN PILLS AND DIDN’T REALIZE THAT THEY HAD FENTANYL IN THEM. IF YOU KNEW COREY, SHE WOULD NEVER, EVER DO THIS. NOT ONLY TO ERIC, BUT TO THOSE BOYS. >> NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS REVEAL LISA DARDEN WAS LIVING

WITH A WOMAN BACK IN 2006, WHO ALSO DIED SUDDENLY FROM AN OVERDOSE, INVESTIGATORS NOW SAY BASED ON LISA DARDEN’S PROXIMITY TO HER PARTNERS SUSPICIOUS OVERDOSE DEATH, IT IS POSSIBLE SHE WAS INVOLVED IN PLANNING AND ORCHESTRATING ERIC’S DEATH. COREY RICHARDS ATTORNEY RESPONDED SAYING THE FACT THAT MISS DARDEN SIGNIFICANT OTHER

WAS ONE OF THE MILLIONS THAT SUFFERED FROM AND ULTIMATELY SUCCUMBED TO OPIOID ADDICTION, IS HARDLY SUSPICIOUS. IT IS TRAGIC AND UNFORTUNATELY QUITE COMMON. BUT THE SIMILARITIES MAY GO BEYOND OVERDOSE, AS INVESTIGATORS SAY DARDEN BENEFITED FROM HER PARTNER’S LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, JUST LIKE RICHARDS ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO DO. WHEN INVESTIGATORS SAY SHE

CHANGED ERIC’S LIFE INSURANCE POLICY MONTHS BEFORE HIS DEATH, RICHARDS HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES. HER ATTORNEY, ALSO DEFENDING RICHARDS MOTHER, SAYING THE FACT THAT MISS DARDEN WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF HER ROMANTIC PARTNERS LIFE INSURANCE POLICY IS ALSO NOT UNIQUE. IT ONLY DEMONSTRATES THAT HER CIRCUMSTANCE ARE NO DIFFERENT

>> NEW DETAILS THIS MORNING IN THE CASE OF A UTAH WIFE, MOTHER AND CHILDREN’S BOOK AUTHOR CHARGED WITH MURDERING HER HUSBAND. COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW INVESTIGATORS NOW BELIEVE COREY RICHARDS MOTHER MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE ALLEGED POISON PLOT. HERE’S ABC’S DERRICK DENNIS. >> THIS MORNING, NEW ALLEGATIONS IN THE CASE OF COREY RICHARDS.

THE UTAH MOTHER ACCUSED OF KILLING HER HUSBAND, ERIC, BY POISONING HIM WITH FENTANYL, THEN WRITING A CHILDREN’S BOOK ON DEALING WITH GRIEF. INVESTIGATORS NOW CLAIM RICHARDS MAY HAVE HAD HELP FROM HER MOTHER, LISA DARDEN. DARDEN SPOKE ABOUT THE CASE LATE LAST YEAR AND CLAIMED ERIC MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY OVERDOSED ON HIS OWN.

>> I BELIEVE ERIC MAY HAVE GOTTEN PAIN PILLS AND DIDN’T REALIZE THAT THEY HAD FENTANYL IN THEM. IF YOU KNEW COREY, SHE WOULD NEVER, EVER DO THIS. NOT ONLY TO ERIC, BUT TO THOSE BOYS. >> NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS REVEAL LISA DARDEN WAS LIVING WITH A WOMAN BACK IN 2006, WHO

ALSO DIED SUDDENLY FROM AN OVERDOSE, INVESTIGATORS NOW SAY BASED ON LISA DARDEN’S PROXIMITY TO HER PARTNERS SUSPICIOUS OVERDOSE DEATH, IT IS POSSIBLE SHE WAS INVOLVED IN PLANNING AND ORCHESTRATING ERIC’S DEATH. COREY RICHARDS ATTORNEY RESPONDED SAYING THE FACT THAT MISS DARDEN SIGNIFICANT OTHER WAS ONE OF THE MILLIONS THAT SUFFERED FROM AND ULTIMATELY

SUCCUMBED TO OPIOID ADDICTION, IS HARDLY SUSPICIOUS. IT IS TRAGIC AND UNFORTUNATELY QUITE COMMON. BUT THE SIMILARITIES MAY GO BEYOND OVERDOSE, AS INVESTIGATORS SAY DARDEN BENEFITED FROM HER PARTNER’S LIFE INSURANCE POLICY, JUST LIKE RICHARDS ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO DO. WHEN INVESTIGATORS SAY SHE CHANGED ERIC’S LIFE INSURANCE POLICY MONTHS BEFORE HIS DEATH,

RICHARDS HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES. HER ATTORNEY, ALSO DEFENDING RICHARDS MOTHER, SAYING THE FACT THAT MISS DARDEN WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF HER ROMANTIC PARTNERS LIFE INSURANCE POLICY IS ALSO NOT UNIQUE. IT ONLY DEMONSTRATES THAT HER CIRCUMSTANCE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN MOST FAMILIES IN AMERICA. RICHARDS IS DUE IN COURT TODAY

HARMFUL, BUT CICADAS ARE STILL QUITE THE LOUD NEIGHBOR FOR THE 4 TO 6 WEEKS THAT THEY MOVE INTO YOUR BACKYARD. SOME CICADAS CAN EVEN REACH OVER 100DB. >> WHY ARE CICADAS SO LOUD? WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? >> THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT GIRLS. >> YES, ACCORDING TO DOCTOR

FRANK, WE’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE BILLIONS OF MALES AUDIBLY COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER TO GRAB THE ATTENTION OF THE FEMALE CICADAS. >> WHEN THEY COME OUT. THEY HAVE TO BE QUICK. >> NOW, TO BE CLEAR, IT’S MOSTLY THE 13 YEAR CICADAS IMPACTING THE SOUTH AND APPALACHIA. WHILE THE 17 YEAR CICADAS HIT THE

ABC NEWS THIS IS “START HERE”, I’M ELIZABETH SCHULZE. >> HEY, BRAD’S OFF TODAY. I’M HERE AGAIN TO TAKE YOU THROUGH THE NEWS. AND WE’RE GOING TO START WITH A BIG IN THE LEGAL AND FINANCIAL SITUATION OF DONALD TRUMP. >> TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM IS NOW SAYING THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IS STRAPPED FOR CASH. >> JUST A WEEK AGO, TRUMP HAD TO SECURE A $91 MILLION BOND AS HE APPEALED THE JUDGMENT IN THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE. >> IT’S A TYPICAL PART OF THE LEGAL PROCESS TO OBTAIN A BOND AS YOU APPEAL A CIVIL COURT JUDGMENT. BASICALLY, YOU’RE SECURING

A GUARANTEE THAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO PUT FORWARD THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU OWE AS YOU WAIT FOR THE APPEALS PROCESS TO PLAY OUT. THESE BONDS OFTEN COME FROM AN OUTSIDE PARTY LIKE AN INSURER, AND THE HOPE IS THAT YOU MIGHT NEVER HAVE TO ACTUALLY PAY

THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE JUDGMENT IF YOUR APPEAL IS SUCCESSFUL. >> WHAT TRUMP WAS TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING IN ANOTHER CIVIL CASE WHERE A JUDGE DETERMINED HE OWED $454 MILLION. >> BUT AS WE LEARNED YESTERDAY, HE RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE. LET’S BRING IN ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY.

>> AARON, FIRST OF ALL, WHICH CASE IS THIS? JUST REMIND US WHY TRUMP IS ON THE HOOK FOR NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS AS PART OF THIS JUDGMENT. >> THIS IS THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL’S CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP THAT ALLEGED THAT HE CONDUCTED A DECADE’S WORTH OF BUSINESS WITH FRAUDULENT

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT OVERVALUED ASSETS IN HIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO AND THEREFORE HYPED UP HIS WEALTH, PERHAPS BY AS MUCH AS MORE THAN $2 BILLION. WE ARE HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR LYING, CHEATING AND A LACK OF CONTRITION AND FOR FLOUTING THE RULES THAT ALL OF US MUST PLAY BY.

AND HE WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR THAT DECADES WORTH OF BUSINESS FRAUD AND ORDERED TO PAY A JUDGMENT OF NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLARS. WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE INTEREST AND IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS APPEAL, WHICH TRUMP SAYS HE WILL DO AND HE BELIEVES HE’S GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

HE NEEDS TO EITHER PUT ALL THE CASH IN ESCROW OR POST A BOND. THE PROBLEM NOW IS, ACCORDING TO TRUMP’S LAWYERS, IN A NEW COURT FILING, THEY’RE SAYING, ELIZABETH, THEY CAN’T FIND ANY SURETY COMPANY. WILLING TO UNDERWRITE THE BOND. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO SECURE IT, AND HIS

LAWYERS SAY THEY’VE APPROACHED 30 DIFFERENT SURETY COMPANIES AND NONE OF THEM IS WILLING TO ACCEPT REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. AND SO THEY’RE ASKING AN APPELLATE COURT FOR PERMISSION TO TO POST A BOND IN A LOWER AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY SAY POSTING SOMETHING THAT BIG IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. SO BASICALLY, TRUMP IS TRYING

TO GET COMPANIES TO UNDERWRITE HIM HERE, AND THEY’RE JUST SAYING, SORRY, WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO IT. IS THAT WHY HE CAN’T GET THIS BOND HEARING? >> HIS LAWYERS SAY THEY’VE MADE DILIGENT EFFORTS TO PURSUE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE BOND, AND THEY SAY THEY JUST HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

>> HOPEFULLY, THE WHOLE THING IS GOING TO BE THROWN OUT IN REVERSE. >> AND IF JUSTICE IS ANYTHING IN NEW YORK STATE, WE’LL WIN. >> AND SO YOU ASK, WELL, IF HE NEEDS MORE CASH, WHY NOT SELL SOME OF HIS REAL ESTATE? BECAUSE THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SURETY

COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR. THEY’RE LOATHE TO ACCEPT REAL ESTATE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFICULT TO CONVERT BUILDINGS INTO CASH QUICKLY. SO THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE’S CASH AVAILABLE. SHOULD TRUMP LOSE HIS APPEAL AND BE FORCED TO PAY. SO WHY DOESN’T TRUMP SELL A BUILDING, TAKE THE CASH, SECURE THE BOND.

AND HIS ATTORNEY SAY THAT IF TRUMP WINS HIS APPEAL, IF HIS APPEAL IS SUCCESSFUL, HIS LOSSES WOULD BE IRRECOVERABLE. HE CAN’T GET THE BUILDING BACK ONCE HE SELLS IT, SO HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO THAT. BUT IF HE DOESN’T POST A BOND, THEN THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN MOVE

TO START SEIZING HIS ASSETS. IF HE DOES NOT HAVE FUNDS TO PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT. >> THEN WILL SEEK, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT, ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS IN COURT. AND WE WILL ASK THE JUDGE TO SEIZE HIS ASSETS. >> AND WHEN WE SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES MONTH, SHE TOLD US, ELIZABETH, THAT SHE

IS PERFECTLY WILLING TO GO TO THE COURT AND TRY TO DO THAT. >> NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, INCLUDING FORMER PRESIDENTS. >> OF COURSE, THAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE PROCESS TO HAVE A STATE SEIZING THE ASSETS OF A FORMER PRESIDENT WHO IS RUNNING AGAIN. BUT SHE SAYS SHE’S WILLING

TO TRY AND DO IT IF NECESSARY. >> SO DOES THIS ALL MEAN THAT TRUMP JUST REALLY DOES HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BESIDES WHAT’S TIED UP IN HIS REAL ESTATE? LIKE HE’S NOT AS WEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL AS HE TRIES TO PROJECT? >> AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS AT THE

CRUX OF THE CIVIL CASE, WASN’T IT, THAT HE CAST HIMSELF OFFICE AS A BILLIONAIRE AND SAYS HIS NET WORTH IS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, $7 BILLION, WHATEVER IT IS. AND THE WHOLE CRUX OF THE CASE WAS YOU CAN’T RELY ON ANYTHING THAT TRUMP’S SAYING HIS WEALTH

IS AT LEAST ON PAPER, BECAUSE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FRAUDULENT AND THE REAL ESTATE ISN’T WORTH WHAT TRUMP SAYS IT’S WORTH. WELL, TRUMP WOULD TELL YOU THAT VALUING REAL ESTATE IS SUBJECTIVE AND THAT HE COULD SELL PROPERTIES LIKE MAR-A-LAGO FOR UNTOLD BILLIONS OF DOLLARS . NOT THAT IT’S FOR SALE,

BUT IT’S A REAL DISPUTE ABOUT WHAT TRUMP HAS IS ACTUALLY WORTH COMPARED TO WHAT HE SAYS HE’S WORTH. BUT HERE HE SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH HOW TO COME UP WITH WITH APPROPRIATE COLLATERAL SUCH THAT HIS ATTORNEYS ARE NOW ASKING A COURT’S PERMISSION TO POST A SMALLER BOND, IF ANY, AT ALL .

YOU KNOW, IN AN IDEAL WORLD TO TRUMP, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR A BOND BECAUSE HE’S SO WEALTHY. BUT ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE, YOU CAN’T TRUST ANYTHING TRUMP SAYS WHEN IT COMES TO HIS WEALTH. RIGHT. >> OF COURSE, THAT’S EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE TRUMP IS NOW HEADING INTO FULL CAMPAIGN

MODE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR HIS CAMPAIGN? AARON, THAT HE’S REALLY RUNNING SO LOW ON CASH? I THINK THERE ARE TWO CONSIDERATIONS HERE. ONE IS PRACTICAL. WE KNOW THAT IN 2023, HE SPENT $50 MILLION ON LEGAL FEES AND HE HAD RAISED THAT MONEY FROM DONORS, SPENT IT ON LEGAL

FEES. AND THOSE FEES ARE ONLY GOING TO MOUNT IN 2024 AS HE FACES FOUR DIFFERENT CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. HE’S IN AND OUT OF FOUR DIFFERENT CRIMINAL COURTROOMS, WITH TABLES FULL OF LAWYERS. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE COSTLY. AND WE KNOW THAT HE IS FACING A FUNDRAISING DEFICIT COMPARED TO TWO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S

CAMPAIGN OPERATION. I THINK THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS ONE OF MESSAGING. >> HE CAST HIMSELF OFF AS A BILLIONAIRE WHO WROTE THE ART OF THE DEAL AND NOW HIS LAWYERS ARE CONCEDING HE CAN’T MAKE A DEAL WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING HIS BOND. >> WRITE THOSE 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES LAST

YEAR WERE PAID FOR BY TRUMP’S POLITICAL FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE . SO HIS LEGAL BATTLES AND THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN REALLY ARE SO CLOSELY TIED TOGETHER. >> AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN. THANK YOU, ELIZABETH. NEXT UP, ON “START HERE”, DID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TRY

TO CENSOR MEDIA DURING COVID? THE SUPREME COURT WEIGHS IN. THAT’S AFTER THE BREAK. >> WE’RE IN MIAMI. SHE’S GOT A GOLF TOURNAMENT THAT’S LOUD POUNDING AND CONTROVERSIAL. WE GOT EXCLUSIVE ACCESS. WE ARE ABOUT TO PARTY. WE’RE NOT GOING TO THE COUNTRY CLUB. WE LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF.

WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE FUN WITH IT. SPORTS WASHING IS A FORM OF INFORMATION MANIPULATION. WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG IS A POLITICAL REGIME. >> YOU CAN’T JUST GET RID OF THE STAYING POWER FROM THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS WASHING. >> NOW STREAMING ON HULU. >> WHEN EVERY NEWS BREAKS, WE

ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR IN ROLLING FORK. THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS TOWN, LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING. FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE. THE STORY IS WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE ABC NEWS LIVE

STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE YOU HERE IN WASHINGTON, THERE’S A CONSTANT BATTLE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER ISSUES LIKE ANTITRUST, MENTAL HEALTH DATA, PRIVACY, MISINFORMATION, YOU NAME IT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PUSH PULL OVER WHEN AND HOW MUCH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD INTERVENE WITH COMPANIES LIKE

FACEBOOK OR WHEN THEY SHOULD JUST BACK OFF. WELL, ON MONDAY, THE SUPREME COURT WADED INTO THIS DEBATE. RIGHT HERE WITH ME IS ABC SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN DWYER, WHO COVERS THE COURT. DEVIN, I WANT YOU TO JUST FIRST KIND OF BREAK DOWN THIS CASE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE COURT.

>> THIS IS A CASE, ELIZABETH. IT’S ALL ABOUT A CONSERVATIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN THE THINGS THAT WE SAY AND POST ONLINE. THE GROUP OF TWO STATES, LOUISIANA AND MISSOURI AND FIVE INDIVIDUAL USERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER SUED THE GOVERNMENT AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC IN 2020 ELECTIONS, SAYING

THAT IT HAD IMPROPERLY LEANED ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO TAKE DOWN THEIR CONTENT TO, REMOVE POSTINGS ABOUT THINGS LIKE VACCINES AND VOTING AND THE LIKE, AND TO LOWER COURTS SIDED WITH THESE PLAINTIFFS, SAYING THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD, IN FACT OVERSTEPPED ITS AUTHORITY, VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND COERCED THESE

PRIVATE COMPANIES TO SUPPRESS SPEECH. SORT OF VIOLATING THE CORE TENET OF OUR OF OUR DEMOCRACY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT PERSUADES A PRIVATE PARTY NOT TO DISTRIBUTE OR PROMOTE SOMEONE ELSE’S SPEECH, THAT’S NOT CENSORSHIP. THAT’S PERSUADING A PRIVATE PARTY TO DO SOMETHING THAT THEY’RE LAWFULLY ENTITLED TO DO. >> AND WHAT THE SUPREME COURT

TOOK UP YESTERDAY IS WHETHER THAT RESTRICTION AGAINST GOVERNMENT CONTACT SHOULD STAND. CAN THE GOVERNMENT BE RESTRICTED FROM CONTACT IN SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES OVER THINGS LIKE PUBLIC HEALTH, ELECTION INTEGRITY, NATIONAL SECURITY, PRESSURING PLATFORMS IN BACKROOMS, SHIELDED FROM PUBLIC VIEW, IS NOT USING BULLY PULPIT AT ALL. >> THAT’S JUST BEING A BULLY.

CONSERVATIVES HERE WERE SAYING THEY SHOULD BE HANDCUFFED, SIDELINED AND PICKING UP THE PHONE AND CALLING THESE COMPANIES. BUT THE JUSTICES SEEM PRETTY SKEPTICAL OF THAT IDEA. >> WELL, AND THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IN OUR CONSTITUTION THERE BE A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PICK UP

THE PHONE AND CALL SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES. >> SO WHERE DID THE JUSTICES COME DOWN ON THIS? >> WELL, IT’S A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT. RIGHT. BUT YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO HAVE HEARD YESTERDAY THAT A MAJORITY OF THE JUSTICES WERE DISINCLINED TO RESTRICT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

FROM AT LEAST PICKING UP THE PHONE. THIS WAS A DEBATE ABOUT PERSUASION, WHICH WOULD BE CONSTITUTIONALLY PERMISSIBLE, MAKING THE CASE, FLAGGING SOME QUESTIONABLE CONTENT AND COERCION, WHICH WOULD NOT BE PERMISSIBLE, ACTUALLY FORCING THREATENING COMPANIES TO DO SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT WANTS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, ELIZABETH, THE JUSTICES REALLY

SEEM TO FOCUS ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF TYING THE GOVERNMENT’S HANDS AT ALL. >> SPECIFICALLY, WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY, WE GIVE YOU A HYPOTHETICAL. >> LET’S SAY THAT YOU GET DOX. JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT RAISE THE POSSIBILITY, SAY, OF A DOXING SCENARIO WHEN ELECTED OFFICIALS INFORMATION WAS POSTED ON THESE SITES.

SHE WONDERED ALOUD. >> THE FBI SEES THESE POSTS AND CALLS THE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLET LIKE EX FACEBOOK, WHATEVER, AND SAYS, WE REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE THESE DOWN BECAUSE THESE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY THREATENING AND WE SEE SOME PEOPLE MAY BE RESPONDING TO THEM. THAT’S ONE LOUISIANA SOLICITOR GENERAL SAID, YOU KNOW, NO,

THEY CAN’T DO THAT. THAT WOULD BE COERCIVE. >> IT WOULD BE IMPERMISSIBLE WITH FREE SPEECH. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS I SAY, I’M A PURIST ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT. SO MY ANSWER WOULD BE YES TO THE FBI. I CAN’T DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN THE FBI MAKES UP?

AND THAT’S HARD. >> AND ANOTHER MOMENT OF DEBATE DURING THE ARGUMENTS WE HEARD KETANJI BROWN JACKSON BRING UP THE POSSIBILITY OF A VIRAL SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO TARGETING TEENAGERS, ENCOURAGING THEM TO JUMP OUT OF WINDOWS. >> IS IT YOUR VIEW THAT THE GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES COULD NOT DECLARE THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES

AS A PUBLIC EMERGENCY AND ENCOURAGE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO TAKE DOWN THE INFORMATION THAT IS INSTIGATING THIS PROBLEM? >> AGAIN, THE LAWYER FOR THESE PLAINTIFFS SEEMED TO SAY NO. >> I WAS REFERRING TO THAT LAST COMMENT. YOUR HONOR. I THINK THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN CALL AND SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM.

IT’S GOING RAMPANT ON THEIR PLATFORMS. BUT THE MOMENT THAT THE GOVERNMENT TRIES TO USE ITS ABILITY AS THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS STATURE AS THE GOVERNMENT TO PRESSURE THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN, THAT IS WHEN YOU’RE INTERFERING WITH A THIRD PARTY SPEECH. >> RIGHT? THE GOVERNMENT COULD COUNTER THAT TREND BY PUTTING

OUT FACTUAL INFORMATION, WARNINGS, BUT SAID THE FIRST AMENDMENT SIMPLY DOESN’T ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO LEAN ON COMPANIES IN THIS WAY. IT DIDN’T SEEM TO BE GETTING A LOT OF TRACTION FROM THE JUSTICES AT THE END OF THE DAY. >> SURPRISING TO HEAR JOHNNY BROWN, JACKSON AND AMY CONEY

BARRETT KIND OF ON THE SAME PAGE. THAT’S RIGHT. >> THEY DON’T USUALLY AGREE. WHAT WHAT WERE THE WHO WERE THE OUTLIERS? I IMAGINE THEY WEREN’T ALL ON. >> WELL, JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO, ONE OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THIS COURT, WAS THE MOST SYMPATHETIC TO THE PLAINTIFFS. >> THERE WAS A CONCERN

THAT AMERICANS WERE GETTING THEIR NEWS ABOUT THE VACCINE FROM THESE PLATFORMS AND THE PLATFORMS WERE PROMOTING NOT JUST ALLOWING BAD UNDERSTAND ALL THAT. AND I KNOW THE OBJECTIVES WERE GOOD, BUT — BUT ONCE AGAIN, THEY WERE ALSO GETTING THEIR NEWS FROM THE PRINT MEDIA AND THE BROADCAST MEDIA AND CABLE MEDIA.

AND I JUST CAN’T IMAGINE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING THAT TO THEM. >> BUT MAYBE I’M NAIVE. MAYBE HE WAS IN DISBELIEF ENOUGH ON THE BENCH THAT THERE, IN HIS VIEW, WAS SUCH A CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND FACEBOOK THAT THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY, IN HIS VIEW, A HOT LINE.

>> AND AT ONE POINT, HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMED TO TREAT FACEBOOK LIKE ITS SUBORDINATE. >> THE WHITE HOUSE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE REPEATEDLY SAYING THAT FACEBOOK AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE PARTNERS. WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM OFFICIALS, ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS. I WANT AN ANSWER.

I WANT THAT RIGHT AWAY. THE CONSERVATIVE VIEWPOINT IN BEHIND THIS CASE, ELIZABETH, IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE THE FINAL ARBITER OF TRUTH, THAT WE NEED TO HAVE AN OPEN MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS, EVEN THOUGH THE CDC PRESENTS THE BEST SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, SAY, FOR VACCINES, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY

AREN’T GOING TO BELIEVE THAT AND SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SAY AS MUCH IN POSTS AS MUCH ONLINE. AND SO WHILE IT MAY SEEM, YOU KNOW, UNSAVORY OR UNSOUND TO HAVE THIS SORT OF INFORMATION FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE, THERE IS A CONSERVATIVE COUNTERPOINT THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR CONSTITUTION REQUIRES INDEED EVEN ALLOWS

FREE SPEECH TO BE EXPRESSED, EVEN WHEN IT’S UGLY OR UNWANTED . WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS THE DECISION HERE, DEVIN, AND WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS MIGHT BE? THIS IS A BLOCKBUSTER CASE, SO WE’RE EXPECTING A DECISION BY THE END OF JUNE, LIKELY AT THE VERY END OF JUNE, WHEN

THE COURT FINISHES ITS TERM. BUT THIS IS A CASE THAT COULD RADICALLY REDEFINE HOW THE GOVERNMENT INTERACTS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES. WE USE THESE COMPANIES ALL THE TIME. THERE ARE ADEQUATE US RIGHT. AND THE CONTENT WE SEE IN OUR FEEDS IS MODERATED THERE. ALGORITHMS ARE CONSTANTLY SORTING IT.

BUT THIS IS A CASE THAT WILL DECIDE HOW MUCH INFLUENCE THE GOVERNMENT CAN HAVE IN WHAT WE SEE AND READ AND POST ONLINE. BUT IT DID SEEM LIKE THE SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY IS ULTIMATELY GOING TO ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE THESE KINDS OF CONTACTS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES,

JUST SO LONG AS IT’S IN THE PERSUASIVE CATEGORY, NOT THE COERCIVE CATEGORY. >> ELIZABETH BAY, ONE TO WATCH NOW. >> YOU’LL BE ALL OVER IT. THANKS SO MUCH, EVAN. YOU BET. >> REMEMBER BACK IN NOVEMBER AS SHIFA HOSPITAL BECAME A CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE WAR IN GAZA, THE LARGEST HOSPITAL

IN THE GAZA STRIP WAS RAIDED BY ISRAELI TROOPS WHO CLAIMED HAMAS MILITANTS WERE USING IT AS A BASE FOR MILITARY OPERATIONS. SCENES OF PREMATURE BABIES BEING EVACUATED FROM THE HOSPITAL QUICKLY EMBLEMATIC OF THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS WHO’VE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAR. WELL, YESTERDAY, FOUR MONTHS

LATER, JUST ABOUT ISRAELI TROOPS WERE BACK AT AL-SHIFA FOR WHAT THEY CALLED A HIGH PRECISION RAID OF THE COMPLEX. LET’S GET TO ABCS AND AS YOU LIKE, BOTERO, WHO’S CURRENTLY ON THE GROUND IN JORDAN, AND AS WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS MILITARY OPERATION? THIS IS NO LONGER A FUNCTION

BEING MEDICAL COMPLEX AT THIS POINT, RIGHT? >> THAT’S RIGHT. ISRAELI FORCES ONCE AGAIN ATTACKING THE AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN GAZA. NOW, THE IDF HAS LONG SAID THAT AL-SHIFA IS BEING USED BY HAMAS AS A COMMAND AND CONTROL CENTER. THEY HAVEN’T PROVIDED ANY KIND OF SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OF THAT. AND WE UNDERSTAND, ACCORDING

TO THE IDF SPOKESMAN, DANIEL HAJARI, THAT THE IDF DID USE HELICOPTERS TO FIRE AT THE HOSPITAL EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SO THIS HAPPENED MONDAY AT DAWN, AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY RAIDED THE COMPOUND. SO THEY SAY THEY’VE ARRESTED MORE THAN 200 TERRORIST SUSPECTS AND HAVE KILLED 20 TERRORISTS. THE ACTIVITY THERE CONTINUED

THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE IDF SAYS IT DOES PLAN TO CONTINUE OPERATING THERE FOR THE TIME BEING. >> BUT IT’S ALL DEEPLY CONCERNING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH, LIKE YOU SAY, IT WASN’T EXACTLY A FUNCTIONING HOSPITAL, THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS WHO HAD SOUGHT SHELTER IN THE HOSPITAL. THE IDF SAYS THEY ARE

BEING ALLOWED TO EVACUATE, BUT IT’S STILL, YOU KNOW, UNCLEAR HOW. >> MANY PEOPLE HAVE LEFT THE HOSPITAL OR MAY STILL BE TRAPPED THERE. RIGHT. AND SO WHEN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE CIVILIANS, YOU’RE ACTUALLY IN JORDAN WHERE THERE WAS AN AIRDROP OF MUCH NEEDED AID TO GAZA. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN,

BUT IT DIDN’T. I MEAN, DID IT NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THIS HOSPITAL RAID? >> WHAT’S GOING ON THERE? YEAH. SO IT’S — IT’S UNCLEAR, BUT IT’S LIKELY THAT THIS WAS LINKED TO EVERYTHING GOING ON AT AL-SHIFA. SO WE WERE SET TO BOARD A U.S. C-130 AT AN AIRBASE IN JORDAN

THAT HAD BEEN LOADED WITH, YOU KNOW, ALL SORTS OF HUMANITARIAN AID. SO RICE, PASTA, FLOUR, BABY FORMULA, DIAPERS. BUT THE ALL CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF NEVER CAME. SO THE ISRAELIS HAVE TO KIND OF GREENLIGHT THESE THESE AIRDROP MISSIONS. AND AT THE LAST MINUTE, THE AIRDROP WAS CANCELED. IT WASN’T JUST THE U.S. FLYING.

I SHOULD SAY. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER COUNTRIES INVOLVED IN KIND OF DIFFERENT PLANES THAT TAKE OFF AND FLY AT THE SAME TIME AND FOLLOW THE SAME FLIGHT PATH. ALL OF THAT WAS CANCELED. WE WERE ONLY TOLD BY U.S. FORCES THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE ISRAELIS WERE CONDUCTING

SOME SORT OF OPERATION IN GAZA . SO, AGAIN, UNCLEAR IF THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS GOING ON AT AL-SHIFA. >> BUT IT’S WORTH POINTING OUT, YOU KNOW, THESE AID DROPS ARE VERY DIFFICULT. WELL, AND AS JUST PAINT THE PICTURE FOR US FOR HOW URGENT THIS AID IS RIGHT

NOW AND WE SAW THIS NEW REPORT ABOUT IMMINENT FAMINE IN NORTHERN GAZA. I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH CIVILIANS, INCLUDING YOUNG CHILDREN WHO WERE EVACUATED. >> YES, WE WERE. WE WERE ON AN EVACUATION FLIGHT OVER THE WEEKEND FROM THE GAZA BORDER TO THE UAE. SO THIS WAS A PLANE TAKING

CHILDREN AND ADULT CANCER PATIENTS FROM GAZA BACK TO THE UAE FOR ADDITIONAL CARE. >> MEDICS DESCRIBED THAT AS A FLYING HOSPITAL. YOU KNOW, IT WAS IT WAS SET UP WITH EVERYTHING YOU’D NEED TO TREAT PATIENTS IN FLIGHT. SO THERE WERE BEDS AT THE BACK OF THE PLANE, I.V. DRIPS, VENTILATORS, DEFIBRILLATORS.

>> AND WE. DID YOU SPEAK TO TO A NUMBER OF OF INJURED CHILDREN THERE? HEARTBREAKING STORIES. WE MET A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL, YARA. SHE WAS ONE OF THE MOST SEVERELY INJURED. >> ARE YOU IN PAIN RIGHT NOW? IS JUST A LITTLE BIT. SHE WAS INJURED IN THE STOMACH.

>> SHE HAD TO UNDERGO 6 HOURS OF RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND SHE WAS BEING FED BY A TUBE. >> AND THE PEOPLE WE SPOKE WITH ABOARD THAT PLANE DID TALK ABOUT MALNUTRITION, YOU KNOW, GOING HUNGRY IN GAZA. >> YARA WAS TELLING US THERE’S NO FOOD, NO WATER. DID YOU HUNGRY IN GAZA INSTEAD?

>> THERE’S NOTHING FOR PEOPLE TO EAT, NOTHING FOR PEOPLE TO DRINK. YOU KNOW, LIFE IS VERY HARD. MY BABY SISTER, WE CAN’T GET HER DIAPERS OR MILK. >> EVERYTHING HAS BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE IN GAZA. AND THAT IS IF WE ARE EVEN ABLE TO FIND IT. >> DOCTORS ABOARD THE PLANE

AS WELL, THEY WERE SAYING THAT MALNUTRITION IS ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES THEY’VE BEEN SEEING RECENTLY. YOU KNOW, KIDS SHOWING UP, HAVING LOST WEIGHT WITH IRON DEFICIENCIES, DEHYDRATED, TAKING LONGER TO HEAL BECAUSE THEY ARE MALNOURISHED. >> SO THEY COME HERE, I KNOW, IN THE HANGAR ALREADY, BUT ALSO

ON THE PLANE, YOU GIVE THEM FOOD, YOU GIVE THEM WATER. WHAT’S THE REACTION? ACTUALLY, THE THING THAT YOU CAN SEE WHEN THE WHEN THEY SEE US, WHEN WE APPROACH THEM, YOU CAN SEE THE SMILE IN YOUR FACE THAT NOW THEY FEEL THAT THEY ARE AT. >> WOW.

>> AND GIVEN THAT BACKDROP, WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A MONTH BIDEN HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THIS COME TO MOMENT AND TALK ABOUT THIS REALLY THE RELENTLESS ATTACKS

ON CIVILIANS. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION? DOES IT KIND OF CHANGE THAT PICTURE WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANITARIAN AND AS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK REALLY INTERESTING THAT THE TWO SPOKE WE’VE SEEN THE DIVIDE BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS KIND OF GROWING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS.

YOU KNOW, ISRAEL AND THE U.S. WERE VERY MUCH IN LOCKSTEP IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR, WITH THE U.S. PLEDGING ITS FULL SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AND THE U.S. ,THAT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS GROWN INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE WAY ISRAEL IS WAGING THE WAR, WITH THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW,

THERE ARE THINGS LIKE LOOMING FAMINE IN GAZA NOW. AID HAS REALLY BEEN TRICKLING IN, BUT IT’S JUST A DROP IN THE OCEAN. AND THE U.S. FRUSTRATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN GAZA AS WELL. SO THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT THE TWO LEADERS DID SPEAK ABOUT EFFORTS TO GET MORE AID

INTO GAZA. YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE IS ALSO DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT ISRAEL’S PLANNED INVASION OF RAFAH. >> OUR VIEW IS THAT THERE ARE WAYS FOR ISRAEL TO PREVAIL IN THIS CONFLICT, TO SECURE ITS LONG TERM FUTURE, TO END THE TERROR THREAT FROM GAZA AND NOT SMASH INTO ARAFAT. >> INTERESTINGLY, THE ISRAELI

PRIME MINISTER NOT MENTION ANY OF THAT WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION. HE SAID THEY TALKED ABOUT LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WAR, INCLUDING ISRAEL’S COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING ALL THE GOALS OF THE WAR AND REALLY ALMOST SEE THAT GROWING DIVIDE JUST IN HOW THE TWO LEADERS DESCRIBED THEIR CONVERSATION AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR

BEING THERE FOR US. >> THANK YOU. OKAY, ONE MORE QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, WHAT’S BEHIND A NEW PUSH FOR FEDERAL PAID LEAVE? ONE LAST THING IS NEXT. >> WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO MUCH ON THE LINE, MORE AMERICANS HERE THAN ANY OTHER NEWSCAST, ABC NEWS, “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT”

WITH DAVID MUIR, AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST ACROSS ALL THE TELEVISION INSIDE OUT AND AS A SOURCE OF HUMOR HIM. >> I’VE NEVER SEEN A PLACE THIS IN MY LIFE. WOW. >> I’M ALEX PRESHA IN EAST PALESTINE ONE YEAR AFTER THAT TOXIC TRAIN DERAILMENT. WHEREVER THE STORY IS,

WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. >> YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE. >> AND ONE LAST THING. >> EXACTLY FOUR YEARS AGO, WHEN THE COVID PANDEMIC WAS UPENDING OUR LIVES, INCLUDING THE WAY THAT WE WORKED THERE WAS A WAVE OF MOMENTUM TO PASS A FEDERAL PAID LEAVE POLICY. >> WE NEED HELP WITH PAID

FAMILY LEAVE AND PAID SICK LEAVE WORKERS NEEDED. >> YOU CAN’T ASK A MOM WITH A NEWBORN BABY TO BE AT WORK IN ORDER TO PAY HER RENT. >> AFTER ALL, WORKERS WERE FORCED TO STAY HOME WHEN THEY WERE EXPOSED COVID. AND YET MANY OF THOSE WORKERS, WHEN THEY STAYED HOME, HAD

TO FORGO THEIR PAYCHECKS. IT BECAME GLARINGLY OBVIOUS THE UNITED STATES IS THE ONLY ADVANCED ECONOMY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT DOESN’T OFFER PAID LEAVE. THAT MEANS THAT THERE’S NO FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES WORKERS TO KEEP GETTING PAID IF THEY NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF. WHEN THEY’RE SICK OR IF THEY HAVE A BABY.

>> YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN SAYING OFTEN, PARTICULARLY SINCE PANDEMIC HIT LEADERS ABOUT OUR COMMON HUMANITY. THAT’S DON HUGO BRIDGE, THE DIRECTOR OF PAID LEAVE FOR ALL. >> SHE ORGANIZED A CAMPAIGN. MORE THAN 70 SMALL BUSINESSES NATIONWIDE CLOSED THEIR DOORS YESTERDAY TO PROMOTE FEDERAL PAID MEDICAL AND FAMILY LEAVE.

>> WE KNOW IT AS A TOOL FOR PUBLIC HEALTH. >> WE KNOW IT IS THE TOOL FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND FOR FAMILIES, ECONOMIC SECURITY. >> AND WE KNOW AS A TOOL FOR RACIAL AND GENDER EQUITY. >> SO WHY EXACTLY DID THAT MOMENTUM FOR PAID LEAVE AFTER COVID STALL? ONE EXPLANATION COULD BE THE

PRICE TAG. THE HOUSE ACTUALLY PASSED A BILL IN 2021 THAT WOULD HAVE GUARANTEED FOUR WEEKS OF PAID LEAVE. IT WAS ULTIMATELY BLOCKED IN THE SENATE WHEN SENATOR JOE MANCHIN TOOK ISSUE WITH HOW MUCH IT COULD COST SMALL BUSINESSES PAID LEAVE. >> I THINK IT SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

>> I’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR. THAT’S ONE REASON WHY SOME SMALL BUSINESS LIKE MANJU DAWKINS ARE NOW SPEAKING OUT. >> MY HOPE IS THAT HOPEFULLY WE SMALL BUSINESSES DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ON THE ILLNESS FOREVER. >> SHE SAYS A FEDERAL PAID LEAVE POLICY IS JUST PLAIN GOOD BUSINESS.

>> IT SENDS MESSAGE TO YOUR EMPLOYEES THAT YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE WORK THEY DO, WHICH ULTIMATELY MAKES WORKERS MORE LOYAL AND PRODUCTIVE. >> IT’S GOOD FOR SOCIETY, IT’S GOOD FOR FAMILIES, IT’S GOOD FOR BUSINESSES, AND IT’S GOOD FOR PUBLIC HEALTH. GOVERNMENT DATA SHOWS THAT ONLY

27% OF U.S. WORKERS HAD ACCESS TO PAID LEAVE BENEFITS THROUGH THEIR EMPLOYERS LAST YEAR. STILL A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE. >> UNIVERSAL PAID LEAVE BECOMES ANYTHING CLOSE TO UNIVERSAL. HEY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR HANGING WITH ME TODAY AND YESTERDAY. YOU CAN GET MORE ON ALL OF THESE STORIES ON ABCNEWS.COM

SAY THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. WELL, THEY SAY TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY. THIS MORNING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LASHING OUT AT THE $464 MILLION JUDGMENT IN HIS NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE, CALLING THE BOND UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UN-AMERICAN. TRUMP ALSO CLAIMING THE BONDING COMPANIES HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A BOND. IT COMES

HOURS AFTER HIS LAWYER SAID THEY FACE INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES , HAVING APPROACHED MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR HELP SECURING THE $464 MILLION BOND, SAYING THEY WERE REJECTED BY ALL OF THEM. THE MAIN REASON BEING TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WERE UNWILLING TO ACCEPT HIS REAL

ESTATE ASSETS AS COLLATERAL. TRUMP AND HIS ELDEST SONS WERE FOUND LIABLE FOR INFLATING THE VALUE OF THEIR REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS TO GET FAVORABLE BANK LOANS. THEY’VE BEEN ORDERED TO POST BOND BY NEXT MONDAY. THEY’RE NOW ASKING AN APPEALS COURT TO LOWER THE BOND AMOUNT. >> THERE’S NO TELLING WHEN THE

APPEALS COURT MAY RULE, BUT IF TRUMP. IS UNABLE TO POST A BOND, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL COULD BEGIN TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES. WE’RE NOT SURE THAT MEANS PADLOCKS AND STICKERS ON THE DOOR, BUT SHE TOLD US SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE TRUMP PAYS. THE CASE. IS ONE OF FOUR

HE RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE. LET’S BRING IN ABC SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY. >> AARON, FIRST OF ALL, WHICH CASE IS THIS? JUST REMIND US WHY TRUMP IS ON THE HOOK FOR NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS AS PART OF THIS JUDGMENT. >> THIS IS THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL’S CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST DONALD

TRUMP THAT ALLEGED THAT HE CONDUCTED A DECADE’S WORTH OF BUSINESS WITH FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT OVERVALUED ASSETS IN HIS REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO AND THEREFORE HYPED UP HIS WEALTH, PERHAPS BY AS MUCH AS MORE THAN $2 BILLION. WE ARE HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR LYING, CHEATING AND A LACK OF CONTRITION AND FOR FLOUTING

THE RULES THAT ALL OF US MUST PLAY BY. AND HE WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR THAT DECADES WORTH OF BUSINESS FRAUD AND ORDERED TO PAY A JUDGMENT OF NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLARS. WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE INTEREST AND IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HIS APPEAL, WHICH

TRUMP SAYS HE WILL DO AND HE BELIEVES HE’S GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. HE NEEDS TO EITHER PUT ALL THE CASH IN ESCROW OR POST A BOND. THE PROBLEM NOW IS, ACCORDING TO TRUMP’S LAWYERS, IN A NEW COURT FILING, THEY’RE SAYING, ELIZABETH, THEY CAN’T FIND ANY SURETY COMPANY. WILLING TO UNDERWRITE THE BOND.

TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO SECURE IT, AND HIS LAWYERS SAY THEY’VE APPROACHED 30 DIFFERENT SURETY COMPANIES AND NONE OF THEM IS WILLING TO ACCEPT REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. AND SO THEY’RE ASKING AN APPELLATE COURT FOR PERMISSION TO TO POST A BOND IN A LOWER AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY SAY

POSTING SOMETHING THAT BIG IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. SO BASICALLY, TRUMP IS TRYING TO GET COMPANIES TO UNDERWRITE HIM HERE, AND THEY’RE JUST SAYING, SORRY, WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO IT. IS THAT WHY HE CAN’T GET THIS BOND HEARING? >> HIS LAWYERS SAY THEY’VE MADE DILIGENT EFFORTS TO PURSUE

THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE BOND, AND THEY SAY THEY JUST HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFUL. >> HOPEFULLY, THE WHOLE THING IS GOING TO BE THROWN OUT IN REVERSE. >> AND IF JUSTICE IS ANYTHING IN NEW YORK STATE, WE’LL WIN. >> AND SO YOU ASK, WELL, IF HE NEEDS MORE CASH, WHY NOT

SELL SOME OF HIS REAL ESTATE? BECAUSE THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SURETY COMPANIES ARE LOOKING FOR. THEY’RE LOATHE TO ACCEPT REAL ESTATE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFICULT TO CONVERT BUILDINGS INTO CASH QUICKLY. SO THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE’S CASH AVAILABLE. SHOULD TRUMP LOSE HIS APPEAL AND BE FORCED TO PAY.

SO WHY DOESN’T TRUMP SELL A BUILDING, TAKE THE CASH, SECURE THE BOND. AND HIS ATTORNEY SAY THAT IF TRUMP WINS HIS APPEAL, IF HIS APPEAL IS SUCCESSFUL, HIS LOSSES WOULD BE IRRECOVERABLE. HE CAN’T GET THE BUILDING BACK ONCE HE SELLS IT, SO HE DOESN’T WANT TO DO THAT.

BUT IF HE DOESN’T POST A BOND, THEN THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN MOVE TO START SEIZING HIS ASSETS. IF HE DOES NOT HAVE FUNDS TO PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT. >> THEN WILL SEEK, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT, ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS IN COURT. AND WE WILL ASK THE JUDGE TO SEIZE HIS ASSETS.

>> AND WHEN WE SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES MONTH, SHE TOLD US, ELIZABETH, THAT SHE IS PERFECTLY WILLING TO GO TO THE COURT AND TRY TO DO THAT. >> NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, INCLUDING FORMER PRESIDENTS. >> OF COURSE, THAT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE PROCESS TO HAVE

A STATE SEIZING THE ASSETS OF A FORMER PRESIDENT WHO IS RUNNING AGAIN. BUT SHE SAYS SHE’S WILLING TO TRY AND DO IT IF NECESSARY. >> SO DOES THIS ALL MEAN THAT TRUMP JUST REALLY DOES HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BESIDES WHAT’S TIED UP IN HIS REAL ESTATE? LIKE HE’S NOT AS WEALTHY

AND SUCCESSFUL AS HE TRIES TO PROJECT? >> AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS AT THE CRUX OF THE CIVIL CASE, WASN’T IT, THAT HE CAST HIMSELF OFFICE AS A BILLIONAIRE AND SAYS HIS NET WORTH IS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, $7 BILLION, WHATEVER IT IS. AND THE WHOLE CRUX OF THE CASE

WAS YOU CAN’T RELY ON ANYTHING THAT TRUMP’S SAYING HIS WEALTH IS AT LEAST ON PAPER, BECAUSE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE FRAUDULENT AND THE REAL ESTATE ISN’T WORTH WHAT TRUMP SAYS IT’S WORTH. WELL, TRUMP WOULD TELL YOU THAT VALUING REAL ESTATE IS SUBJECTIVE AND THAT HE COULD SELL PROPERTIES LIKE MAR-A-LAGO

FOR UNTOLD BILLIONS OF DOLLARS . NOT THAT IT’S FOR SALE, BUT IT’S A REAL DISPUTE ABOUT WHAT TRUMP HAS IS ACTUALLY WORTH COMPARED TO WHAT HE SAYS HE’S WORTH. BUT HERE HE SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH HOW TO COME UP WITH WITH APPROPRIATE COLLATERAL SUCH THAT HIS ATTORNEYS ARE NOW ASKING

A COURT’S PERMISSION TO POST A SMALLER BOND, IF ANY, AT ALL . YOU KNOW, IN AN IDEAL WORLD TO TRUMP, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR A BOND BECAUSE HE’S SO WEALTHY. BUT ACCORDING TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE, YOU CAN’T TRUST ANYTHING TRUMP SAYS WHEN IT COMES TO HIS WEALTH. RIGHT.

>> OF COURSE, THAT’S EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE TRUMP IS NOW HEADING INTO FULL CAMPAIGN MODE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR HIS CAMPAIGN? AARON, THAT HE’S REALLY RUNNING SO LOW ON CASH? I THINK THERE ARE TWO CONSIDERATIONS HERE. ONE IS PRACTICAL. WE KNOW THAT IN 2023, HE SPENT

$50 MILLION ON LEGAL FEES AND HE HAD RAISED THAT MONEY FROM DONORS, SPENT IT ON LEGAL FEES. AND THOSE FEES ARE ONLY GOING TO MOUNT IN 2024 AS HE FACES FOUR DIFFERENT CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. HE’S IN AND OUT OF FOUR DIFFERENT CRIMINAL COURTROOMS, WITH TABLES FULL OF LAWYERS.

AND THAT’S GOING TO BE COSTLY. AND WE KNOW THAT HE IS FACING A FUNDRAISING DEFICIT COMPARED TO TWO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN OPERATION. I THINK THE OTHER CONSIDERATION IS ONE OF MESSAGING. >> HE CAST HIMSELF OFF AS A BILLIONAIRE WHO WROTE THE ART OF THE DEAL AND NOW HIS LAWYERS

ARE CONCEDING HE CAN’T MAKE A DEAL WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING HIS BOND. >> WRITE THOSE 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES LAST YEAR WERE PAID FOR BY TRUMP’S POLITICAL FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE . SO HIS LEGAL BATTLES AND THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN REALLY ARE SO CLOSELY TIED TOGETHER. >> AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU SO

MUCH FOR BEING HERE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN. THANK YOU, ELIZABETH. NEXT UP, ON “START HERE”, DID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TRY TO CENSOR With so much at stake. So much on the line, more Americans turn here than any other news cast, ABC News World News Tonight, with David Muir.

America’s number one, most watched news cast across all of television, Inside the pen is a slice of human brain. I’ve never seen a place like this in my life. Whenever news breaks, we are here in Israel a nation at war in Rolling Fork This Tornado tore through this town. Listen

Made a scene of a horrific mass shooting from the scene of that deadly missile strike, wherever the story is. We’re going to take you there ABC News live for streaming ABC News live ABC news live streaming free everywhere. ABC NEWS LIVE ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE YOU HERE IN WASHINGTON, THERE’S

A CONSTANT BATTLE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER ISSUES LIKE ANTITRUST, MENTAL HEALTH DATA, PRIVACY, MISINFORMATION, YOU NAME IT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PUSH PULL OVER WHEN AND HOW MUCH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD INTERVENE WITH COMPANIES LIKE FACEBOOK OR WHEN THEY SHOULD JUST BACK OFF.

WELL, ON MONDAY, THE SUPREME COURT WADED INTO THIS DEBATE. RIGHT HERE WITH ME IS ABC SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN DWYER, WHO COVERS THE COURT. DEVIN, I WANT YOU TO JUST FIRST KIND OF BREAK DOWN THIS CASE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE COURT. >> THIS IS A CASE, ELIZABETH.

IT’S ALL ABOUT A CONSERVATIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN THE THINGS THAT WE SAY AND POST ONLINE. THE GROUP OF TWO STATES, LOUISIANA AND MISSOURI AND FIVE INDIVIDUAL USERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER SUED THE GOVERNMENT AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC IN 2020 ELECTIONS, SAYING THAT IT HAD IMPROPERLY LEANED

ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO TAKE DOWN THEIR CONTENT TO, REMOVE POSTINGS ABOUT THINGS LIKE VACCINES AND VOTING AND THE LIKE, AND TO LOWER COURTS SIDED WITH THESE PLAINTIFFS, SAYING THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD, IN FACT OVERSTEPPED ITS AUTHORITY, VIOLATED THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND COERCED THESE PRIVATE COMPANIES TO SUPPRESS SPEECH.

SORT OF VIOLATING THE CORE TENET OF OUR OF OUR DEMOCRACY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT PERSUADES A PRIVATE PARTY NOT TO DISTRIBUTE OR PROMOTE SOMEONE ELSE’S SPEECH, THAT’S NOT CENSORSHIP. THAT’S PERSUADING A PRIVATE PARTY TO DO SOMETHING THAT THEY’RE LAWFULLY ENTITLED TO DO. >> AND WHAT THE SUPREME COURT TOOK UP YESTERDAY IS WHETHER

THAT RESTRICTION AGAINST GOVERNMENT CONTACT SHOULD STAND. CAN THE GOVERNMENT BE RESTRICTED FROM CONTACT IN SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES OVER THINGS LIKE PUBLIC HEALTH, ELECTION INTEGRITY, NATIONAL SECURITY, PRESSURING PLATFORMS IN BACKROOMS, SHIELDED FROM PUBLIC VIEW, IS NOT USING BULLY PULPIT AT ALL. >> THAT’S JUST BEING A BULLY. CONSERVATIVES HERE WERE SAYING

THEY SHOULD BE HANDCUFFED, SIDELINED AND PICKING UP THE PHONE AND CALLING THESE COMPANIES. BUT THE JUSTICES SEEM PRETTY SKEPTICAL OF THAT IDEA. >> WELL, AND THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IN OUR CONSTITUTION THERE BE A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL SOCIAL MEDIA

COMPANIES. >> SO WHERE DID THE JUSTICES COME DOWN ON THIS? >> WELL, IT’S A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT. RIGHT. BUT YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO HAVE HEARD YESTERDAY THAT A MAJORITY OF THE JUSTICES WERE DISINCLINED TO RESTRICT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FROM AT LEAST PICKING UP THE PHONE.

THIS WAS A DEBATE ABOUT PERSUASION, WHICH WOULD BE CONSTITUTIONALLY PERMISSIBLE, MAKING THE CASE, FLAGGING SOME QUESTIONABLE CONTENT AND COERCION, WHICH WOULD NOT BE PERMISSIBLE, ACTUALLY FORCING THREATENING COMPANIES TO DO SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT WANTS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, ELIZABETH, THE JUSTICES REALLY SEEM TO FOCUS

ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF TYING THE GOVERNMENT’S HANDS AT ALL. >> SPECIFICALLY, WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY, WE GIVE YOU A HYPOTHETICAL. >> LET’S SAY THAT YOU GET DOX. JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT RAISE THE POSSIBILITY, SAY, OF A DOXING SCENARIO WHEN ELECTED OFFICIALS INFORMATION WAS POSTED ON THESE SITES.

ON CIVILIANS. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION? DOES IT KIND OF CHANGE THAT PICTURE WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANITARIAN AND AS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK REALLY INTERESTING THAT THE TWO SPOKE WE’VE SEEN THE DIVIDE BETWEENAN YOU KNOW, ISRAEL AND THE U.S. WERE VERY MUCH IN LOCKSTEP

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE WAR, WITH THE U.S. PLEDGING ITS FULL SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL AND THE U.S. ,THAT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS GROWN INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE WAY ISRAEL IS WAGING THE WAR, WITH THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THINGS LIKE LOOMING FAMINE IN GAZA NOW.

AID HAS REALLY BEEN TRICKLING IN, BUT IT’S JUST A DROP IN THE OCEAN. AND THE U.S. FRUSTRATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN GAZA AS WELL. SO THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THAT THE TWO LEADERS DID SPEAK ABOUT EFFORTS TO GET MORE AID INTO GAZA. YOU KNOW, THE WHITE HOUSE IS

ALSO DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT ISRAEL’S PLANNED INVASION OF RAFAH. >> OUR VIEW IS THAT THERE ARE WAYS FOR ISRAEL TO PREVAIL IN THIS CONFLICT, TO SECURE ITS LONG TERM FUTURE, TO END THE TERROR THREAT FROM GAZA AND NOT SMASH INTO ARAFAT. >> INTERESTINGLY, THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NOT MENTION ANY

OF THAT WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION. HE SAID THEY TALKED ABOUT LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WAR, INCLUDING ISRAEL’S COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING ALL THE GOALS OF THE WAR AND REALLY ALMOST SEE THAT GROWING DIVIDE JUST IN HOW THE TWO LEADERS DESCRIBED THEIR CONVERSATION AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR US.

FIRST, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN’T COME UP WITH THE MONEY HE OWES FOR HIS FRAUD JUDGMENT . HIS LAWYERS SAY HE’S FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTY SECURING A BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES. WHAT COMES NEXT? AS TRUMP NOW SAYS SOME OF HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES SHOULD BE JAILED?

THE RACE TO RESCUE HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS TRAPPED IN HAITI, THE CAPITAL IS EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF AS GANG WARFARE RAGES ON. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS EVACUATION FLIGHTS COULD BEGIN . BIRTH CONTROL IN YOUR AMAZON CART IS NOW A REALITY. WE’RE ANSWERING THE BIG QUESTIONS. DO YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION

AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? AND PRINCESS KATE SPOTTED OUT AND ABOUT IT MEANS FOR GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT THE FUTURE QUEEN’S HEALTH AS NEW QUESTIONS ARISE OVER THIS PHOTO OF QUEEN ELIZABETH. AND DON’T STOP JOURNEYS HIT ANTHEM IS HITTING A MAJOR MILESTONE. WHY SOME CALLING IT THE BIGGEST

SONG OF ALL TIME. WE BEGIN WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP UNABLE TO RAISE THE NEARLY $1,000,000,000 BOND THAT THE COURT IS DEMANDING IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE THAT COULD LEAD TO THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SEIZING SOME OF HIS ASSETS. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY HAS THE LATEST.

>> DONALD TRUMP IS UNABLE TO SECURE A BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES AFTER A JUDGE HELD HIM LIABLE FOR FRAUD. >> WILL APPEAL WON’T BE SUCCESSFUL. HIS LAWYER SAID IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLEIFFICULTIES. HE LACKS ENOUGH CASH TO OBTAIN A BOND SO BIG AND MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSED

TO ACCEPT HIS REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. HIS ATTORNEYS ARGUED TRUMP SHOULDN’T FORCED TO SELL ANY PROPERTY, RAISING MONEY THROUGH A FIRE SALE THEY SAID WOULD RESULT IN IRRECOVERABLE LOSSES IF HIS APPEAL SUCCEEDS. >> YOU’VE GOT TO PONY UP THE BOND AMOUNT IN ORDER TO YOU TO FEEL IT.

IF YOU DON’T DO THAT, THEN ONE BIT, YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT GOING TO FEEL. >> AND YOU’VE YOU’VE CONCEDED, YOU’VE LOST. TRUMP ASKED THE COURT TO EITHER WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A BOND WHILE HE APPEALS OR ALLOW TO POST SOMETHING SMALLER, SAYING A $464 MILLION BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.

>> BUT IF THE COURT SAYS NO AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE A BOND BY NEXT, NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TOLD ABC NEWS SHE IS PREPARED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF TRUMP’S ASSETS IF HE DOES NOT HAVE FUNDS TO PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT. AND THEN WE WILL, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT, ENFORCEMENT

MECHANISMS IN AND WE WILL ASK THE JUDGE TO SEIZE HIS ASSETS. >> SEIZING REAL ESTATE IS NOT A QUICK PROCESS. BUT DIANE, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD US SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP PAYS WHAT HE OWES. >> AND DIANE, THERE IS ALSO NEWS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL CASE

HERE IN NEW YORK THAT TRUMP IS. THE JUDGE HAS JUST SIDED WITH PROSECUTORS AND SAID HE WILL ALLOW TESTIMONY FROM TWO KEY WITNESSES, TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS, THE RECIPIENT OF THE HUNDRED $30,000 HUSH PAYMENT AT THE CENTER OF THE CASE. >> DIANE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY,

THANK YOU. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. BRIAN LETITIA JAMES SAYS SHE IS PREPARED TO SEIZE TRUMP’S PROPERTIES IF HE DOESN’T PAY. >> WHAT COULD THAT LOOK LIKE? MORE THAN THAT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. >> IT COULD BE SEIZING THE PROPERTY IN TERMS OF TAKING

IT DIRECTLY. IT COULD BE PLACING ON THE PROPERTY WHICH IN NEW YORK CAN LAST FOR TEN YEARS. SO SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, DONALD TRUMP SELLS THE PROPERTY TRYING TO RECOUP SOME OF THE LOSSES OR MAKE UP THE MONEY THAT IS BEING ASKED OF HIM. THAT MONEY COULD DIRECTLY GO TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE

OR THE STATE FOR THE FINES AND THE SURCHARGES THAT HIS OWN. THERE COULD BE A NUMBER OF OTHER MECHANISMS. BUT AGAIN, AS AARON KATERSKY SAID, IT COULD TAKE A LOT TIME. >> IT’S A LOT OF FIGHTING. IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. THE TRUMP LAWYERS ARE APPEALING THE FINE AS UNCONSTITUTIONALLY EXCESSIVE.

>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT ARGUMENT? SO I THINK IT ACTUALLY MIGHT NOT BE THE WORST ARGUMENT IN THE WORLD. THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT DOES HAVE A PROVISION. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE EXCESSIVE FINES WHEN IN CONTRAST TO THE WRONGDOING THAT IS ACCUSED OR IN CASE HE’S BEEN CONVICTED.

I DO THINK IT IS A LEGAL ARGUMENT TO MAKE. HOWEVER THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS. IT GOES BACK TO WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGMENT THAT THE JUDGE HANDED DOWN WAS TOO HIGH OR WHETHER OR NOT THE INTEREST RATES THAT ARE BEING IMPOSED UPON HIM ARE TOO HIGH. DONALD TRUMP, I THINK,

IS MAKING STRONG ARGUMENT FOR HIMSELF AND GOING TO MULTIPLE BOND PERSONS TO TRY TO SECURE THE BOND. AND EVERY TIME HE GETS REJECTED, IT ADDS TO THAT ARGUMENT OF, HEY, LOOK, I’M TRYING TO GET THIS DONE, BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS AMOUNT IS TOO HIGH. HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO COMPARE

AND CONTRAST THAT TO THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO WHAT HE’S NOW CONVICTED OF A CRIME LIBEL AND THE CASE. AND IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AMOUNTS EVER. FINE. BUT HE’S OUTLINED IN ONE OF THE LARGEST AMOUNTS OF FRAUD WE’VE SEEN THE STATE. >> SO IT COULD MAKE SENSE.

MEANWHILE, THE JUDGE, IN A HUSH MONEY CASE IS NOW ALLOWING TESTIMONY FROM MICHAEL COHEN AND DANIELS AND ALLOWING PART OF THE “ACCESS HOLLYWOOD” TAPE TO BE ENTERED INTO EVIDENCE. WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR THAT CASE AGAINST TRUMP? >> IT’S VERY DAMAGING FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT TO ALLOW FOR THAT TESTIMONY, REALLY

INSIDER TRADING, BECAUSE MICHAEL COHEN IS HIS FIXER, PRESUMABLY FOR HIS GUILTY PLEAS THAT WE’VE ALREADY SEEN, AS WELL AS WHAT HE SAID AFTER THIS COURT CASE. >> IT SEEMS VERY DAMAGING FOR DONALD TRUMP WHEN IT COMES TO THESE CHARGES. A LOT OF IT IS WHAT IS IN

THE MIND OF DONALD TRUMP AND PRESUMABLY FROM WHAT WE’VE HEARD. >> MICHAEL COHEN KNOWS A LOT OF THAT. THEY CAN TALK TO THOSE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS. AND THEN YOU LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR STORMY DANIELS, GOING TO GET SOMETHING SIMILAR AS WELL. AND WHEN YOU GET IN THAT “ACCESS HOLLYWOOD” TAPE WHERE

WE ALL FAMOUSLY HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAY THAT WOMEN JUST KIND OF THROW HIMSELF ON TO HIM AND HE CAN GRAB THEM FROM WHATEVER INAPPROPRIATE AREA HE FEELS APPROPRIATE. THAT’S NOT GOING TO RING. WELL IN THE JURORS EARS WHEN THEY HEAR THAT. SO THOSE ARE VERY BIG LOSSES FOR DONALD TRUMP.

>> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE. THANKS, BRIAN. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN IS WARNING PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN EXPECTED OF RAFAH. THE TWO SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A MONTH DISCUSSING AND CONCERNS OVER ISRAEL’S WAR WITH HAMAS. ABC’S CHIEF WHITE

HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE HAS THE DETAILS. WELL, THIS IS THE STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC WARNING YET FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE ISRAELI. PRESIDENT BIDEN URGING PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU NOT TO RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE ONE AND A HALF MILLION DISPLACED PALESTINIANS ARE CURRENTLY SHELTERING. IN A PHONE CALL YESTERDAY,

THEIR FIRST IN OVER A MONTH. BIDEN MAKING IT CLEAR THAT HE THINKS THIS WOULD BE A MISTAKE AND THAT THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO TARGET HAMAS NOW. NETANYAHU AGREEING AT BIDEN’S URGING TO SEND TOP ISRAELI HERE TO WASHINGTON TO HEAR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S ALTERNATIVE APPROACH. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT

IS THEIR EXPECTATION THAT THERE WILL BE NO MAJOR OPERATION IN RAFAH UNTIL THAT MEETING OCCURS HERE IN THE COMING DAYS. NOW, MEANWHILE, DONALD TRUMP IS AGAIN ACCUSING DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS OF HATING ISRAEL, ECHOING AN TROPE CLAIMING THAT JEWISH DEMOCRATS ARE DISLOYAL. THE WHITE HOUSE QUICK TO FIRE BACK AT THAT, CALLING IT VILE

AND UNHINGED ANTI-SEMITIC RHETORIC, ADDING THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR SPREADING TOXIC, FALSE STEREOTYPES THAT THREATEN FELLOW CITIZENS. DIANE ABC’S CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE. >> THANK YOU. AND THE STATE SAYS IT’S CONSIDERING CARRYING OUT MORE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED EVACUATIONS IN HAITI. AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESCUED FROM

THE REPUBLIC AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED AMID A REVOLT BY ARMED GANGS. EFFORTS TO CREATE A TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL ARE ALSO FACING HURDLES. NOW, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT’S LOOKING INTO GETTING MORE CHARTER FLIGHTS TO EVACUATE THE NEARLY 1000 AMERICANS STRANDED IN WHAT OFFICIALS ARE CALLING AN UNTENABLE SECURITY SITUATION.

COMING UP IN OUR NEXT HALF HOUR, WE’LL TALK TO OUR MATT RIVERS, WHO’S THERE IN PORT PRINCE. AND A SPRING BREAK MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY IN FLORIDA. POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR SUSPECTS IN THREE SEPARATE SHOOTINGS IN JACKSONVILLE BEACH WHICH LEFT ONE PERSON DEAD AND SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED. ABC’S VICTOR IS IN MIAMI

WITH THE LATEST SHOOTING AFTER A WEEKEND MARKED BY GUN VIOLENCE IN JACKSONVILLE BEACH. AN URGENT MANHUNT FOR MULTIPLE SUSPECTS INVOLVED IN THREE SEPARATE SHOOTINGS. THE FIRST INCIDENT CAPTURED HERE, A CHAOTIC SCENE AFTER SHOTS FIRED ON THE BEACH. POLICE SAY OFFICERS WERE ON SITE WHERE HUNDREDS WERE GATHERED IN THEIR TEENS

AND EARLY TWENTIES. >> THIS GROUP ENGAGED IN BOXING MATCHES, FIGHTS AND OTHER INCIDENTS. AND JACKSONVILLE BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD TO TAKE ACTION TO DISPERSE THE CROWD WHEN THE CROWD WAS DISPERSED. THAT’S WHEN THE SHOOTINGS HAPPENED. >> TWO YOUNG MEN BELIEVED TO BE SUSPECTS, ALONG WITH A BYSTANDER, SERIOUSLY WOUNDED BUT STABLE.

THEN TWO ADDITIONAL UNRELATED SHOOTINGS HAPPENING WITHIN AN HOUR. ONE INVOLVED A MASKED MAN FIRING A SHOT WHILE RUNNING BY BAR. THE OTHER A FIGHT BETWEEN THREE MEN IN WHICH A 21 YEAR OLD MAN WAS KILLED. THE POPULAR BEACH DISTRICT WAS PACKED NOT ONLY WITH SPRING BREAKERS, BUT FANS THE NEARBY

GOLF TOURNAMENT, AS WELL AS PATRONS CELEBRATING ST PATRICK’S. THE VIOLENCE LEADING RESIDENTS ON EDGE VERY CLOSE TO HOME. >> SOMEBODY DIED THERE. THEY HAD US LOCKED DOWN. AND IT’S A PROBLEM. YOU KNOW, WE ALL LIVE HERE. WE ALL WORK HERE. WE CAN’T EVEN STEP OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE AND HOMES.

>> ABC’S VICTOR OQUENDO. THANK YOU. AND POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE WITH RELEVANT INFORMATION TO COME FORWARD TO TRACK DOWN THOSE SUSPECTS. AND DESPITE THOSE CONCERNS IN FLORIDA, SPRING BREAK TRAVEL IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. TRIPOLI SAYS MORE PEOPLE DRIVING AND THAT COULD LEAD TO HIGHER GAS PRICES. ABC NEWS TREVOR ALL IS

AT LAGUARDIA AIRPORT WITH THE LATEST. HEY, DIANE. YET WE’RE EXPECTING YET ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING STRETCH OF TRAVEL. >> TSA SAYS ON SUNDAY THEY SCREEN MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION PASSENGERS AT AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT’S A NUMBER THAT THEY HADN’T HIT SINCE THE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. IN FACT, PAST TEN DAYS OR SO,

TSA HAS BEEN MIRRORING THE NUMBERS THAT THEY WOULD USUALLY SEE DURING THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAYS OF SUMMERTIME. NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED TO BE EVEN BUSIER AND THEN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. TSA SAYS THEY’RE ANTICIPATING 47 MILLION PASSENGERS. THAT IS A 6% INCREASE FROM THE SAME TIMEFRAME LAST YEAR.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS AT LEAST SO THE AIRLINES AND THE TSA LINES DO SEEM TO BE KEEPING PACE. OF COURSE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING FOR THEIR SPRING BREAK TRIPS. AND WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST THAT RISING DEMAND DOES TYPICALLY COINCIDE WITH RISING PRICES.

WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THAT A LITTLE BIT SO FAR THE PAST MONTH OR SO. THE NATIONAL FOR A GALLON OF GAS HAS RISEN ABOUT $0.20 TO $3.48 RIGHT NOW AND CLIMBING. TRIPOLI DOES SAY IT PROBABLY GOING TO CLIMB A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. THAT’S PARTIALLY DUE TO THE WARMER WEATHER AND ALSO FROM

MORE EXPENSIVE SUMMER GAS BLENDS. BUT IT IS JUST NICE TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. >> DIANE TREVOR AULT, THANK YOU. AND WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAN NOW BUY THE FIRST EVER OVER-THE-COUNTER CONTROL PILL. ALL PILL WAS APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR USE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION LAST YEAR. NOW IT’S AVAILABLE ONLINE

AND EXPECTED IN DRUGSTORES SOON . >> ABC’S ERIELLE RESHEF HAS THE LATEST. WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING, BUT NOW YOU CAN ADD BIRTH CONTROL TO YOUR AMAZON CART. OPAL IS OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE ONLINE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. MANY HEALTH SEE THIS AS A MAJOR STEP TOWARD EXPANDING ACCESS TO THIS MEDICATION.

WITH THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS APPLAUDING THIS DECISION. ONE PACK WILL COST 1999. THREE MONTHS SUPPLY. 49, 99 OR 89. 99 FOR SIX MONTHS. OPAL HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR DECADES. >> AND RECENTLY THE FDA IT FOR OVER-THE-COUNTER USE. BECAUSE THE AGENCY HAS CONFIDENCE THAT AMERICANS KNOW

HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT SAFELY, EXPERTS URGE ANYONE TO PURCHASE OPAL ONLINE TO CAREFULLY READ THE LABEL, WHICH CLEARLY STATES THAT ANYONE WHO HAS HAD OR CURRENTLY HAS BREAST CANCER SHOULD NOT TAKE IT. AND PATIENTS WITH A HISTORY OF ANY SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR. IT IS MEANT TO BE TAKEN AT SAME

TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY. DOCTORS SAY SIMILAR TO OTHER BIRTH CONTROL PILLS, THE SIDE EFFECTS OF PILL CAN INCLUDE HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, CRAMPS, INCREASED APPETITE, BLOATING. BOTTOM LINE, THOUGH, THE FDA SAYS, OH, PILL WHEN USED PROPERLY IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OF COURSE, TALK YOUR PHYSICIAN.

ABC’S ERIELLE RESHEF. THANK YOU. AND THE CDC IS WARNING ABOUT A RISE IN MEASLES CASES. THE AGENCY IS NOT JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE UPTICK HERE IN THE U.S. THEY’RE ALSO REPORTING A GROWING TREND ABROAD. “GMA3” ANCHOR EVA PILGRIM HAS MORE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY.

VISAS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SYSTEMS AND OUR LAWS. AND I AM RIGHT NOW LAPD IS WORKING WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS, THE REGION, AND THEY’RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND PATTERNS SO THAT PERHAPS CAN MAKE AN ARREST EITHER IN THE ACT OR RIGHT BEFORE. ALSO, DIANE, THEY’RE INVESTIGATING THE USE

OF THESE WI FI JAMMERS. THEY SAY THIEVES CAN USE THEM TO BLOCK YOUR CAMERA SIGNALS. AND THEY ACTUALLY SUGGEST THAT HOMEOWNERS HARDWIRE THEIR SECURITY SYSTEMS IF POSSIBLE. DIANE, ABC NEWS LIVE ANCHOR, KAYNA WHITWORTH, THANK YOU. >> AND FORMER CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON IS RELEASING THE CONTENTIOUS INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK THAT LEMON SAYS

LED TO MUSK CANCELING HIS DEAL WITH X. THE TWO WENT BACK AND FORTH FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. SPARRING OVER POLITICS, BUSINESS AND EVEN MUSK’S DRUG USE. ABC’S REBECCA JARVIS HAS HIGHLIGHTS. >> DOESN’T THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU? I MEAN, YOU’RE ON, I SAY TO THE QUESTION CAREFULLY.

>> THERE’S 5 MINUTES LEFT. BILLIONAIRE TECH MOBIL ELON MUSK A DEFIANT AND AT TIMES DEFENSIVE. >> A CONTENTIOUS NEW INTERVIEW ON THE ONLY REASON I’M DOING THIS INTERVIEW IS BECAUSE YOU’RE ON THE PLATFORM AND YOU ASKED FOR IT. MM-HMM. OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT DO THIS INTERVIEW. >> THE SIT DOWN WAS SUPPOSED

TO MARK THE LAUNCH OF A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FORMER CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON AND, ELON MUSK’S EX. FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER, BUT INSTEAD, LEMON SAYS THE DEAL WAS ABRUPTLY CALLED OFF. APPARENTLY FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISM DOESN’T APPLY WHEN IT COMES TO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. >> LEMON POSTING A FULL

HOUR LONG INTERVIEW ONLINE MONDAY ANYWAY, INCLUDING ON X WHERE HE ASKED MUSK ABOUT SENSITIVE TOPICS LIKE KETAMINE USE. >> BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD. YOU HAVE ACADEMY PRESCRIPTIONS . YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? WELL, I MEAN, THAT’S PRETTY PRIVATE TO ASK SOMEBODY ABOUT MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW.

BUT IT’S THINK IT’S — IT’S A WAY I’D SAY, LIKE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE THIS SORT OF I DON’T LIKE NEGATIVE CHEMICAL STATE IN MY IN MY BRAIN. I LIKE DEPRESSION, I GUESS. AND THEN KETAMINE IS HELPFUL FOR GETTING ANYONE OUTSIDE OF A NEGATIVE FRAME OF MIND.

>> DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU EVER ABUSE IT? I DON’T THINK SO. IF YOU USE TOO MUCH KETAMINE, YOU CAN’T REALLY GET WORKED AT ALL. >> SO I HAVE A LOT OF WORK. LEMON ALSO ASKING HATE SPEECH, HATE SPEECH ON THE PLATFORM IS UP. SO WHAT THEY WILL TYPICALLY DO

IS THEY’LL COUNT THE NUMBER OF POSTS, BUT NOT COUNT THE NUMBER OF VIEWS. SO WHAT MATTERS WAS THAT POST GIVEN HIGH VISIBILITY OR WHAT DID LIKE ONE PERSON SEE IT? >> REPS FOR THE JOURNALIST TELL ABC THERE WERE LIGHT EDITS MADE TO THE CONVERSATION FOR POSSESS BUT NOTHING OF EDITORIAL SUBSTANCE.

THE TWO SPARRING OVER MANY TOPICS, INCLUDING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES AND FREE SPEECH. >> DON, YOU LOVE CENSORSHIP, IS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. NO, I DON’T LOVE CENSORSHIP. AND WHY? I BELIEVE IN MODERATION. BUT I BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP AS IT IS. MODERATION IS A PROPAGANDA WORD FOR. CENSORSHIP.

BUT DON’T YOU THINK FREE SPEECH IS ONE THING, RIGHT OR NOT? YOU KNOW, LOOK, IT’S NOT ILLEGAL. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN. MUSK CONFIRMED THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP, SAYING LEMON LACKED AUTHENTICITY AND HIS APPROACH WAS BASICALLY JUST CNN . BUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH DOES IT WORK?

LEMON APPEARING ON THE VIEW LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS THE INTERVIEW PRIOR TO ITS RELEASE. >> I THINK IT WAS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM TO SIT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND ACTUALLY HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. >> LEMON ALSO DISCUSSED POLITICS WITH MUSK FREQUENTLY

SHARES HIS POLITICAL VIEWS ON X AND SAYS HE DOESN’T PLAN TO GIVE MONEY TO EITHER PRESIDENT BIDEN OR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN, ALSO TELLING LEMON HE WILL NOT HELP TRUMP WITH HIS GROWING LEGAL BILLS.

OF THE MURDERS OF ABIGAIL WILLIAMS AND LIBBY. GERMAN WAS DESTROYED. HIS LAWYERS PRESENTED EVIDENCE YESTERDAY THAT A RECORDING ERROR DESTROYED 70 DAYS WORTH OF POLICE INTERVIEWS IN THE CASE. AUTHORITIES SAY THE VIDEOS WERE ACCIDENTALLY ERASED. AS OF NOW, THE TRIAL IS SET BEGIN IN MAY. MARCH MADNESS IS SET TO TIP OFF

WITH THE FIRST FOUR MATCHUPS. WAGNER AND HOWARD ARE FACING OFF FOR A 16 SEED A DATE WITH NUMBER ONE YOU AND C AND A CHANCE AT HISTORY. ONLY TWICE AS A 16 SEED BEATEN A ONE SEED. VIRGINIA WILL ALSO BE IN ACTION AGAINST COLORADO STATE FACING OFF FOR THE RIGHT TO BE

THE 10TH SEED IN THE MIDWEST BRACKET. THE WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT GETS ITS FIRST FOUR GAMES UNDERWAY TOMORROW AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT’S CONSIDERING CARRYING OUT MORE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED EVACUATION IN HAITI. AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESCUED FROM THE REPUBLIC AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED AMID A REVOLT BY ARMED GANGS.

THIS IS EFFORTS TO CREATE A TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL. ARE FACING HURDLES. ABC’S MATT RIVERS HAS THE LATEST FROM PORT AU PRINCE HAITI. >> AS GANG WARFARE TEARS HAITI APART, WE FLY INTO THE HEART OF THE VIOLENCE BY HELICOPTER HERE, THE ONLY RELATIVELY SAFE WAY LEFT INTO THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORT AU

PRINCE. MILLIONS OF HAITIANS HERE TRAPPED IN THE EPICENTER THE DESTRUCTION FROM THE RAMPANT GANG WARFARE, PAINFULLY, AND THE BODIES OF AT LEAST 13 PEOPLE SHOT DEAD. SOME VICTIMS, JUST TEENAGERS DOCTORS SAY, WITHOUT OPEN HOSPITALS. >> MANY ARE DYING IN THEIR HOMES. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE

IN PORT AU PRINCE THAT WE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET TO A HOSPITAL FOR CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU AND I CAN’T GIVE YOU AN EXACT NUMBER, HE SAYS. >> BUT IT IS MANY, MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN HOSPITALS IN PORT AU PRINCE. IT’S NOW COMPLETELY CLOSED, WAS

LOOTED DURING SOME OF THIS FIGHTING. >> AND JUST LOOK AT THE DESTRUCTION WITH THE AIRPORT CLOSED, THE CITY IS EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF. HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS STILL HERE WITHOUT A WAY OUT. >> OVERNIGHT, THE STATE SENDING A NOTICE TO AMERICANS IN HAITI SAYING. EVACUATION FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY COULD BEGIN SOON.

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT, LIKE FEAR SORT OF CAME IN. BUT IT WAS ONLY TO KNOW THAT I WOULD BE WHOLE. >> MIRIAM ZANARDI FROM FLORIDA MANAGED TO GET OUT SAFELY RESCUED WITH THE HELP OF PROJECT DYNAMO. >> EVEN THE HOW WE GOT OUT YESTERDAY WAS A LITTLE FEARFUL

BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS HAD TO DO. MATT RIVERS JOINS ME NOW FROM PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI FOR ON THIS. MATT, WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE RIGHT NOW? IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW DIRE THE SITUATION IS. YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN TO HAITI MANY TIMES. I HAVE A LOT OF CONTACTS HERE.

HAITI AND THE PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO ARE NOT PRONE TO HYPERBOLE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE USED TO TRAUMA, WHO ARE USED TO VIOLENCE. WE’RE USED TO THE KIND OF GUNFIRE WE HEARD ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT. AND THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I’M HAVING, EVEN WITH THOSE

PEOPLE SAYING THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS BEFORE, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A FAILED STATE. THERE IS NO REAL GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY INSTITUTION LEFT STANDING IS THE POLICE. I DON’T THINK IT’S TOO MUCH TO SAY. THE ONLY THING STANDING RIGHT NOW BETWEEN TOTAL GANG CONTROL OF CAPITAL CITY

AND WHAT IS LEFT RIGHT NOW ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE INCREDIBLY BRAVE AND CONTINUING TO FIGHT AND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED AND ARE IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. LAST WEEK, YOU REPORTED THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM WASN’T ABLE TO GET AID INTO

THE CAPITAL BECAUSE OF THOSE GANGS TAKING CONTROL OF THE ROADS IN PORT. >> HAS ANY AID BEEN ABLE TO GET IN SINCE A TRICKLE? >> AND THAT’S PROBABLY EVEN OVERSTATING IT BECAUSE. THERE’S JUST A HANDFUL OF HELICOPTER FLIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT EACH DAY, BUT THEY’RE MAINLY ON BRINGING

PEOPLE OUT OF HERE. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT A HUMANITARIAN THAT NEEDS TO BE MET WITH AID AT SCALE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEALS, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF, YOU KNOW, MORE PIECES, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, NOT JUST WHAT YOU CAN FEED ON A SINGLE HELICOPTER. AND TO DO THAT, YOU NEED TO BE

ABLE TO DRIVE. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BRING SHIPS IN. THE PORT IS RIGHT OVER THERE. IT’S CLOSED. NOTHING IS GETTING IT. NO FOOD IS GETTING IN, NO AID IS GETTING IN. EVERYTHING IS SHUT DOWN. GANGS CONTROL EVERY SINGLE ENTRY POINT INTO THIS CITY EXCEPT FOR HELICOPTERS

THAT FLY IN, SET DOWN, TAKE BACK OFF THEREAFTER. >> SO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO. THERE IS NO AID GETTING IN. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE NEEDED, THE HAITI’S PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED LAST WEEK. BUT THIS TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL HAS YET TO BE INSTALLED. >> SO WHERE DO THOSE TALKS

STAND NOW? >> YES, SO THERE IS JUST AN ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES HERE, DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS IN HAITIAN SOCIETY, EVEN REPRESENTATIVES, THE CHURCH. THE IDEA IS TO CREATE AND ELECT A TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL MADE UP OF 5 TO 7 MEMBERS THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE POWERS

OF THE PRESIDENCY HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE IN HAITI AND THEN THEY WOULD APPOINT A COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. THEY WOULD TRY AND FORM A GOVERNMENT, COULD THEN BRING ELECTIONS AND BRING SOME ORDER BACK TO THE COUNTRY. BUT IN TERMS OF WHERE THAT IS, WHEN THE COUNCIL BEING ANNOUNCED, WE DON’T

AT THE MOMENT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED ALREADY. IT HASN’T. BUT EVEN WHEN IT DOESN’T, WHEN IT DOES GET ANNOUNCED, THE GANGS HERE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO I DON’T THINK THAT EVEN WHEN THIS COUNCIL GETS ANNOUNCED,

WHICH MIGHT HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK, THAT THE GANGS GOING TO SAY, OH, EVERYTHING’S OKAY AND NOT BE VIOLENT ANYMORE, THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT. SO WHERE THE SOLUTION IS HERE, HOW THIS GETS BETTER IS ENTIRELY UNCLEAR. >> ALL RIGHT. MATT RIVERS IN HAITI, STAY SAFE. >> THANK YOU.

COMING UP, THE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT. A PHOTO OF QUEEN ELIZABETH WITH HER GRANDKIDS AFTER KATE MIDDLETON WAS APPARENTLY SPOTTED AT A FARM SHOP WITH PRINCE WILLIAM. ALSO AHEAD, GRAMMY AWARD WINNER DR.

WITH KATE OVER THE WEEKEND. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES WERE ALLEGEDLY SEEN WALKING AT A FARMERS MARKET, BUT MANY ONLINE ARE STILL QUESTIONING IF REALLY WAS THE PRINCESS. NOW THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS SPEAKING OUT, PRINCESS KATE’S DEFENSE. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI HAS THE LATEST. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE

DECEMBER, KATE MIDDLETON WAS SEEN ON VIDEO. SHE WAS APPARENTLY VISITING A LOCAL FARM IN WINDSOR WITH HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, AT A STORE, JUST ONE MILE FROM THEIR HOME. >> THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE AND GROWING SCRUTINY OVER THE HEALTH OF THE FUTURE QUEEN SINCE JANUARY, WHEN THE PALACE ANNOUNCED SHE HAD UNDERGONE

ABDOMINAL SURGERY AND WOULD TAKE TIME AWAY FROM PUBLIC DUTIES TO RECOVER. JUST LAST WEEK, THE ROYALS RELEASING THIS PHOTO OF KATE THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED. MULTIPLE NEWS AGENCIES TAKING IT DOWN. THE AFP SAYING KENSINGTON PALACE, WHICH HANDLES COMMUNICATIONS FOR WILLIAM AND KATE, ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT CONSIDERED A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE.

THE PRINCESS ISSUING A RESPONSE AFTER AGENCIES TOOK DOWN THE PHOTO, ACKNOWLEDGING THE PHOTO WAS EDITED AND APOLOGIZING FOR ANY CONFUSION THE PHOTO MAY HAVE CAUSED. >> HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO, BUT THE INTERNET HAS GONE WILD WITH VARIOUS THEORIES ON WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH KATE, INCLUDING POSTS FROM CELEBRITIES LIKE

BLAKE POSTING AN OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE WITH THE CAPTION. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I’VE BEEN M.I.A. KIM KARDASHIAN POSTING. >> A PHOTO CAPTIONED ON MY WAY TO GO FIND KATE. THE ROYAL FAMILY IS DEFINITELY, AT THIS POINT SCRAMBLING. THEY ARE IN CATCH UP MODE BEHIND PUBLIC OPINION AND IS A MESS.

>> QUESTIONS ABOUT ANOTHER ROYAL PHOTO RELEASED BY THE PALACE IN AN EDITOR’S NOTE. GETTY IMAGES WRITING IMAGE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY ENHANCED AT SOURCE. THE PHOTO, TAKEN BY KATE IN 2022, SHARED IN APRIL 2023 TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUEEN ELIZABETH’S 97TH BIRTHDAY. >> GETTY TELLING THE TELEGRAPH THAT THEY DUE THE IMAGE

IN QUESTION AND PLACED AN EDITOR’S NOTE ON IT. >> THE TELEGRAPH POINTING OUT SEVERAL INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING A VERTICAL LINE WHERE THE TURN THE LATE QUEEN SKIRT DOES NOT MATCH A DIGITAL REPETITION. >> THE HAIR OF ONE OF HER GREAT GRANDDAUGHTERS AND ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS ME NOW FROM BUCKINGHAM

PALACE FOR MORE ON THIS. MAGGIE, WE CAN’T SHOW THAT NEW TMZ VIDEO OF KATE, BUT IT’S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. NOW THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. HOW UNUSUAL, IS THAT? NO, I THINK IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW HIGH THIS PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FEELS

AS IF THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING AND RESPOND. THEY SAID YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT PRINCESS KATE. THEY SAID SHE IS A REMARKABLE LADY. AND I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE HER A BIT OF PRIVACY. AT THE MOMENT. SHE’S RECOVERING FROM AN OPERATION AND I THINK WE SHOULD RESPECT HER PRIVACY HERE.

BUT IT’S SO INTERESTING, MEAN, YOU MENTIONED THAT VIDEO. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS EVERYWHERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW. AND WHILE IT HAS QUIETED SOME, IT’S ONLY FUELING OTHER CONSPIRACY THEORIES, WHICH, YOU KNOW, DAN, ACTUALLY THE WOMAN, THE PERSON WHO TOOK THAT PHOTO OR TOOK THAT VIDEO, I SPOKE WITH THE SON AND SHE

TOLD THEM THAT SHE THOUGHT THAT WILL AND KATE SEEMED LIKE JUST A NORMAL COUPLE AND THAT ALL OF THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES WERE NONSENSE. NOW, PRINCE WILLIAM IS BACK TO ROYAL DUTIES TODAY, APPEARING AT A HOMELESS SHELTER IN NORTHERN ENGLAND. HE HASN’T PUBLICLY COMMENTED ON HIS WIFE’S HEALTH, THOUGH,

SO ARE PEOPLE IN THE U.K. REACTING TO THIS WHOLE THING? >> WELL, WE SAW HIM UP IN NORTHERN ENGLAND AND HE WAS REALLY HAVE A WARM RESPONSE. HE WAS UP THERE WORKING WITH HOMELESS CHARITIES AND THINK IT’S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PRINCE WILLIAM IS REALLY TRYING TO KEEP WORKING, EVEN

DESPITE ALL OF THE CHAOS THAT’S SURROUNDING HIM RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, YOU CAN’T IGNORE THE FACT THAT HE’S GOING ON THESE ROYAL DUTIES, THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE THEORIES AND CONTROVERSIES. HE HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT HIS WIFE’S HEALTH IN THE PAST. AND EVERY TIME HE’S ASKED,

HE GIVES NO COMMENT. AND THAT’S SORT OF THE REFRAIN WE’RE SEEING FROM THE PALACE FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY ASKED FOR PRIVACY AND THEY SAID WE WILL NOT BE SEEING KATE IN ANY OFFICIAL CAPACITY UNTIL AFTER EASTER. IF FOLLOWED UP, THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS LINE. THEY ARE REALLY STICKING TO IT.

SO WE DON’T REALLY THINK THE PALACE IS GOING TO BUDGE. BUT THE FACT THAT THESE VIDEOS ARE OUT ON TMZ, THAT THEY’RE BEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GETTING A GLIMPSE INTO THEIR LIFE. THE BIG QUESTION, WILL THIS CALM DOWN CONSPIRACY THEORIES? >> I MEAN, YOU’RE ONLINE AUTHOR, DIANE.

I DON’T I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE THEY’RE CALMING DOWN ANY TIME SOON, UNFORTUNATELY. YEAH. ABC FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI. THANKS, MAGGIE AND ABC IS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. THE PALACE HAS BEEN SO QUIET ABOUT KATE’S SINCE THAT PHOTO SCANDAL AND THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES STARTED CIRCULATING

ONLINE. WHAT’S THE STRATEGY HERE? WHY NOT JUST HAVE HER COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING? >> WELL, THAT’S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION. AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY ABOUT WILLIAM AND KATE’S WISHES AND ABOUT HER NEEDS. AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE IN THE DRIVING SEAT HERE AND OVER

HOW THIS IS PLAYING OUT. EVEN WITH THEIR MOST SENIOR AIDES, THERE IS STILL THAT POWER DYNAMIC BECAUSE OF THE POSITIONS THAT THEY HOLD. AND I THINK FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS ABOUT STICKING TO THAT ORIGINAL PLAN ,STICKING TO WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY WOULD DO, WHICH WAS THAT SHE NEEDED TIME RECOVER

AND THAT SHE WOULDN’T APPEAR UNTIL AFTER EASTER. AND WE ARE NOT AT EASTER NOW. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY MIGHT NOT THINK THAT ANYTHING NEEDED TO CHANGE. BUT THAT RELEASE OF THAT MOTHER’S PICTURE, DIANE, WAS A VERY PIVOTAL MOMENT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, THE QUESTIONS, ITS CREDIBILITY SAW AN ESCALATION

IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES. AND THESE ARE SERIOUS DEBATES AROUND TRUST. SO I THINK THERE IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS THE TIME TO PIVOT. AND AS YOU SAY, RELEASE A DIFFERENT PICTURE OR A VIDEO THAT DIDN’T HAVE A QUESTION OVER ITS HEAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, I’VE

COVERED WILLIAM AND KATE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. AND ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO NOT TO GO FOR THESE KNEE REACTIONS. THEY DON’T REALLY TEND TO BE TOO REACTIVE. THEY DO TRY TO PLAY THE LONG TERM GAME. AND KATE IN PARTICULAR HAS

A VERY COOL HEAD AND A VERY LONG TERM VIEW. AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE. I THINK WE’RE JUST SEEING THIS DETERMINATION TO STICK TO THAT ORIGINAL STRATEGY AND BE VERY CALM ABOUT IT ALL. DESPITE THE HYSTERIA THAT’S GOING ON EVERYWHERE ELSE. >> NOW, THERE’S THIS OTHER DIGITALLY ENHANCED PHOTO

SAID TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY KATE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS PHOTO AND HOW BIG IS THIS ISSUE FOR THE PALACE? >> I THINK THIS IS VERY SAD, THIS IMAGE, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST IMAGES TAKEN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH AND IT REALLY WAS RELEASED, THE VERY

ICONIC IMAGE OF HER WITH SOME OF HER GRANDCHILDREN AND, GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, AND IS A MATTER, THEREFORE, OF HISTORICAL RECORD. AND NOW THERE IS THIS BIG QUESTION MARK OVER THE HEAD OF THAT PHOTOGRAPH. AND REALLY THIS JUST KIND OF ADDS TO THE ISSUE THAT KENSINGTON HAS OF THEM BEING QUESTIONED AS A CREDIBLE

SOURCE. AND IF THE TRUST OF THE INFORMATION AND PICTURES THAT THEY PUT OUT BEING QUESTIONED AND THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE AN INSTITUTION THAT SITS AT THE TOP OF OUR SOCIETY AND WHO WE HOLD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD. SO I THINK THE TRICKY THING

IS THAT I DO THINK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT IDEAS, AND KATE HAS ACTUALLY PUT HER HANDS UP AND SAID, YES, I DID TODAY, EDITED THE IMAGES, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE JUST NOT KNOW NOW WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT THESE IMAGES. AND IT’S VERY SAD.

THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH HAS NOW BEEN DRIVEN INTO THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CREDIBILITY. >> MEANWHILE, KING CHARLES HAS SEEMINGLY BEEN MORE OPEN WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT HIS CONDITION. >> HE BATTLES CANCER. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? WELL, I THINK KING CHARLES IS HEAD OF STATE, AND THAT’S A VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.

>> THERE IS NO EXPECTATION ON HIM. HE HAS A CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION WITHIN HIS SOCIETY AND THEREFORE, HOW HE IS DOING IS MUCH MORE A MATTER FOR THE GOVERNMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAN HOW THE PRINCESS OF WALES IS DOING. I ALSO THINK SOMETIMES I WONDER THERE IS THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE.

YOU KNOW, HE’S TOLD US THAT HE HAS CANCER, BUT HE SAID, WHAT TYPE? WE DON’T KNOW DETAILS OF HIS TREATMENT. KATE HAS TOLD US THAT SHE HAS HAD ABDOMINAL SURGERY, BUT SHE HASN’T SAID WHAT TYPE. SO IS THE DIFFERENCE REALLY SO GREAT? BUT I THINK WHERE THERE HAS

BEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE THAT HE HAS BEEN MORE VISIBLE THROUGHOUT, HE HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED BY INDEPENDENT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVEN’T BEEN QUESTION MARKS OVER THE VIDEOS OR PICTURES THAT WE HAVE SEEN OF HIM. SO THERE HASN’T BEEN THAT KEEN WAY THAT THAT HAS WITH KATE. >> SO BIG PICTURE, HOW HIGH

ARE THE STAKES HERE FOR THE PALACE WITH THIS TRUST ISSUE, OR IS THIS THE KIND OF THING WHERE IF EASTER COMES AND KATE COMES OUT AS PROMISED, THIS WILL ALL GO AWAY? >> I THINK IN THE SHORT TERM, THIS DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE IT’S GOTTEN VERY OUT OF CONTROL.

AND I THINK IT’S VERY MUCH AN EXAMPLE OF IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA ERA HOW THE NARRATIVE CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THERE’S AN INFORMATION VACUUM. AND I THINK THAT’S SOMETHING FOR THE WORLD TO CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE. BUT I DO THINK PERHAPS IN THE LONG TERM, WHEN SHE COMES BACK,

WHEN WE SEE HER, I THINK MAYBE IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT THAT LONG TERM VIEW THAT THE WAY MORE CLEARLY TAKING PROVES TO BE THE RIGHT ONE. >> ALL ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY THANK YOU AND TALLULAH WILLIS DAUGHTER OF DEMI MOORE AND BRUCE WILLIS IS OPENING UP ABOUT BEING DIAGNOSED

WITH AUTISM. TALLULAH SAYS THE DIAGNOSIS CHANGED LIFE AND IS POINTING TO SIGNS IN A CHILDHOOD VIDEO. ERIELLE RESHEF HAS MORE. >> BRUCE WILLIS AND DEMI MOORE’S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, TALLULAH.

TALLULAH, RESPONDING TO A COMMENT ON THE POST, SAYING IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER

PUBLICLY SHARED MY DIAGNOSIS. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, AN ESTIMATED 5.4 MILLION ADULTS IN THE U.S. HAVE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, OR ASD, A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY CAUSED BY IN THE BRAIN. PEOPLE WITH ASD OFTEN STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION AND HAVE RESTRICTED OR REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS OR INTERESTS. AUTISM IS PERVASIVE, SO

IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE, EVEN IN THE MANY CASES OF ADULT DIAGNOSES WITH AUTISM. SYMPTOMS HAD TO BE PRESENT EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT. MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY WILLIS’S BEHAVIOR IN THAT VIDEO IS NOT A GUARANTEED ILLUSTRATION OF AN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS, NOTING THAT CHILDREN SOMETIMES RUB THEIR PARENTS FACES

IN REPETITIVE WAYS. >> A COMPREHENSIVE, AUTISM FOCUSED EVALUATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE FOR KIDS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE OF ADULTS ,WHERE THEIR PRESENTATIONS MAY BE MORE COMPLEX. WILLIS HAS BEEN OPEN ABOUT HER HEALTH STRUGGLES WITH ANOREXIA AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER. I SPOKE WITH WILLIS DURING THE PANDEMIC ABOUT HER MENTAL

HEALTH JOURNEY AS SHE LAUNCHED A FASHION LINE. >> MY WORK HAS COME TO BE THIS IS REALLY EMPOWERING ELEMENT IN MY LIFE PREVIOUSLY AND NOW IN MY DEPRESSION AND IN MY ANXIETY AND MENTAL HEALTH THAT I DIDN’T HAVE A VESSEL TO REALLY CHANNEL THAT INTO. ERIELLE RESHEF THANK YOU.

AND EXPERTS TELL US THE SYMPTOMS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS ON THE SPECTRUM ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT MAY MANIFEST DIFFERENTLY GIVEN A PERSON’S DEVELOPMENT. THOSE SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE AVOIDING EYE CONTACT BEHAVIOR AND CHALLENGES WITH COMMUNICATION OR INTERACTIONS. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY FIT THAT CRITERIA, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS REPORTING ON THE POLITICS OF TREASURE ISLAND JUNGLE WAR. WE’RE GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT PEOPLE THEY’RE MISSING OVER. >> I AM DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE.

FIRST, FORMER TRUMP CAN’T COME UP WITH THE MONEY HE OWES FOR HIS FRAUD JUDGMENT. HIS LAWYERS SAY HE’S FACING, QUOTE, INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTY SECURING A BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES. WHAT COMES NEXT? AS TRUMP NOW SAYS SOME OF HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES SHOULD

BE JAILED AND THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ON THE HORIZON AGAIN. LAWMAKERS, THEY’VE REACHED AN AGREEMENT. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE BILL AND WHAT’S AT STAKE AS FRIDAY’S APPROACHES. BIRTH CONTROL IN YOUR AMAZON IS NOW A REALITY. WE’RE ANSWERING THE BIG QUESTIONS. DO YOU NEED A AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

AND ELON VERSUS DON LEMON, THE FORMER CNN ANCHOR, POSTED HIS FULL INTERVIEW WITH, THE CONTROVERSIAL TECH MOGUL. >> BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD YOU HAVE ACADEMY PRESCRIPTIONS. YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? THEIR DISCUSSION ON? DRUGS, HATE SPEECH AND X AND MORE. PLUS, WHY MUSK SAYS X ENDED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH LEMON.

BUT WE BEGIN WITH FORMER PRESIDENT UNABLE TO RAISE THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLAR BOND THAT THE COURT IS DEMANDING IN NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE THAT COULD LEAD THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S TO SEIZE SOME OF HIS ASSETS. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ERICA TURKEY HAS THE LATEST. >> DONALD TRUMP IS UNABLE

TO SECURE A BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES AFTER JUDGE HELD HIM LIABLE FOR FRAUD. >> I WILL APPEAL, WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. >> HIS LAWYER SAID TRUMP IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES. HE LACKS ENOUGH CASH TO OBTAIN A BOND SO BIG AND MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSED

TO ACCEPT HIS REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. HIS ATTORNEYS ARGUED TRUMP SHOULDN’T BE FORCED TO SELL ANY RAISING MONEY THROUGH A FIRE SALE THEY SAID WOULD RESULT IN IRRECOVERABLE LOSSES IF HIS APPEAL SUCCEEDS. >> YOU’VE GOT TO PONY UP THE BOND AMOUNT IN ORDER TO YOU TO APPEAL IT. IF YOU DON’T THAT, THEN

ONE KNOW YOU’RE NOT GOING TO APPEAL AND YOU’VE CONCEDED YOU’VE LOST. >> TRUMP ASKED THE COURT TO EITHER WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A BOND WHILE HE APPEALS OR ALLOW HIM TO POST SOMETHING SMALLER, SAYING A $464 MILLION BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. BUT IF THE COURT SAYS NO AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE

A BOND BY NEXT WEEK, NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TOLD ABC NEWS SHE PREPARED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF TRUMP’S ASSETS IF HE DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT. AND THEN WE WILL SEEK, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT, ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS IN COURT, AND WE WILL ASK THE JUDGE TO SEIZE

HIS ASSETS. >> SEIZING REAL ESTATE IS NOT A QUICK. BUT DIANE, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD US SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP PAYS WHAT HE OWES. >> AND DIANE IS ALSO NEWS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL CASE HERE IN NEW YORK THAT TRUMP IS FACING. THE JUDGE HAS JUST SIDED

WITH PROSECUTORS AND SAID HE WILL ALLOW TESTIMONY FROM TWO KEY WITNESSES. TRUMP’S FORMER MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS, THE RECIPIENT OF THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT AT THE CENTER OF THE CASE. >> DIANE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND THE LEGAL CHALLENGES COME AS TRUMP IS RAMPING UP

THE RHETORIC ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. ABC’S POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. RICK TRUMP SAYS HOUSE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR INVESTIGATING HIM AND THAT SUGGESTED THAT HE COULD PARDON PEOPLE CONVICTED FOR THEIR ROLES IN THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.

HOW COULD ALL THIS IMPACT HIS CAMPAIGN. >> DIANE, IT’S WORTH REMEMBERING THAT WE’RE MOVING OUT OF THE PRIMARY SEASON AND OUT INTO THE GENERAL SEASON. AND THIS KIND OF THESE KIND OF COMMENTS MIGHT HAVE HELPED HIM AMONG CORE REPUBLICAN VOTERS, BUT ARE THEY GOING TO HELP HIM

IN REMINDING PEOPLE OF THE AND THE OUTRAGES OF JANUARY 6TH? >> AND HE’S, AS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT, TO TRY TO REWRITE THE HISTORY OF THAT DAY. THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE HIS POLITICAL VULNERABILITIES COULD LIE. AND I’VE TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN. THEY WANT TO FIND FRESH WAYS

TO REMIND OF THE THREATS TO DEMOCRACY THAT, IN THEIR VIEW, DONALD TRUMP OPPOSES. SO FOR HIM TO PRAISE THE JANUARY SIX WAS TO SUGGEST THAT THEY THAT THEY ARE DESERVING OF PARDONS. TO SAY THAT YOU’RE GOING TO PROSECUTE POLITICAL OPPONENTS, THAT IS THAT IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS AND INCENDIARY RHETORIC ON THE POLITICAL FRONT.

AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT FROM CAMPAIGN. >> WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP REPEATS IT NOW, LIZ CHENEY HAS BEEN MULLING A RUN. WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT COULD A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE LIKE THAT HAVE ON THIS RACE? >> YEAH, I’VE TALKED TO PEOPLE

CLOSE TO CHENEY, AND I DON’T ANTICIPATE THAT SHE’S GOING TO RUN. AND SHE’S BEEN TARGETED BY TRUMP CONTINUALLY. SHE LOST HER SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO A PRIMARY CHALLENGER BACKED BY TRUMP. AND NOW TRUMP SAYING THAT THAT SHE DESERVES TO BE TO BE PROSECUTED FOR HER ROLE IN THE

JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE. THERE’S YOU KNOW, SHE’S WON BACK PRETTY PRETTY HARD ON THAT. AND SAYING JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE DOESN’T MEAN IT’S TRUE. I DON’T ANTICIPATE, THOUGH, THAT SHE RUNS. I THINK THE THING TO WATCH IS GOING TO BE WHERE SHE AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE

MIKE PENCE, OTHER REPUBLICANS WHO SAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT TRUMP. WHERE THEIR SUPPORT GOES, WHERE THEY TRY TO DIRECT THEIR SUPPORTERS, THEY A PRETTY WELL-FUNDED POLITICAL OPERATIONS, CHENEY IN PARTICULAR, AND WHERE DO THOSE EFFORTS GO? MAYBE IT GOES TO A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE, BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM ALL THAT LIKELY AT THIS

MOMENT. >> NOW, TODAY’S PRIMARIES IN FIVE STATES INCLUDE A KEY SENATE RACE, OHIO. >> WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR THERE? YEAH, OHIO’S FASCINATING BECAUSE IT’S ONE OF THESE RACES WHERE TRUMP HAS A FAVORITE CANDIDATE AND MEMBERS, THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT IN THE STATE HAVE OTHER CANDIDATES. IN FACT, THERE’S TWO OF THEM

IN OHIO. AND IT’S A VERY CLOSE RACE, ACCORDING TO THE POLLS. DONALD TRUMP WAS THERE OVER THE WEEKEND WHERE HE MADE THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT THE ABOUT THE BLOODBATH THAT HE SAID WOULD WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE ECONOMY. AND BEYOND THAT, IF HE WASN’T TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY. AND HE’S BEEN ALL IN FOR

HIS CANDIDATE THERE IN. BUT THERE ARE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING AT THAT AND SAYING IF YOU FIND OF A MAINSTREAM KIND OF ESTABLISHMENT MINDED REPUBLICAN, YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING. AND OHIO IS ONE OF A COUPLE OF STATES THAT ARE RED. IF PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL, WHERE

REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE TO PICK UP A SENATE SEAT, THEY FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THEIR CHANCES THERE. THE QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF REPUBLICAN THEY PUT UP TO RUN AGAINST SENATOR SHERROD BROWN THIS FALL. >> WE’LL FIND OUT TONIGHT. AND WHAT OTHER RACES ARE YOU WATCHING TODAY, RICK?

WELL, LOOK, THE PRIMARIES, AS I SAID, ARE BASICALLY OVER. BUT THE NUMBER OF UNCOMMITTED VOTERS THAT GET OR PEOPLE VOTING IN ESSENTIALLY PROTEST AGAINST JOE BIDEN ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE COULD STILL BE A STORY, AS COULD THE NUMBER OF VOTES THAT NIKKI HALEY GETS IN SOME VERY POPULOUS STATES, LIKE A FLORIDA

OR AN ARIZONA OR IN OHIO. A LOT OF VOTERS THERE ARE THOSE ARE IMPORTANT STATES. SOME OF THOSE MAY HAVE VOTED BEFORE NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. BUT IF THERE’S ANY KIND OF LINGERING RESENTMENT OR ANGER OVER TRUMP GETTING NOMINATION, ALMOST CERTAINLY IT’LL BE THERE. WE ALSO HAVE A PRIMARY AGAINST

A SITTING HOUSE MEMBER IN IN ILLINOIS AND THE RACE TO REPLACE KEVIN MCCARTHY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE DRAMA THERE IS GOING TO BE A REPUBLICAN REPLACES IT. BUT IF THAT PERSON DOESN’T GET MORE THAN 50% OF THE VOTE TODAY, IT’LL BE ANOTHER TWO MONTHS UNTIL THEY CAN FILL THAT SEAT.

AND OF COURSE, THAT’S A VOTE THAT SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON AND HOUSE REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE GET LIKE YESTERDAY. >> ALL RIGHT. POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, ALWAYS GREAT TO YOU, RICK. THANK YOU. THANKS, LIANE. AND LAWMAKERS HAVE REACHED A DEAL TO AVERT A PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BEFORE FRIDAY’S DEADLINE. PRESIDENT BIDEN NOW SAYS

HE WILL SIGN IT AS SOON AS IT REACHES HIS DESK. >> ABC’S JAY O’BRIEN JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. JAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS DEAL AND WHY DOES IT LIKE WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT A LOOMING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? >> BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT A LOOMING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

NOW, DIANE, IF THIS DEAL IS A SUCCESS, WE WON’T BE TALKING ABOUT IT ANY MORE, AT LEAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. AND SO THE PLAN IS THIS. THEY SETTLED ON DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING. THAT WAS THE FINAL STICKING POINT. NOW, TEXT OF THAT LEGISLATION IS BEING DRAFTED, SUPPOSED

TO COME OUT WITHIN THE COMING DAYS, IDEALLY TODAY. THEY’RE AGAINST A TIGHT LEGISLATIVE CLOCK. THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, SO THERE BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF SHUTDOWN OVER THE WEEKEND . BUT ALL SIGNS POINT TO AVERTING A WIDESPREAD GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AFTER THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION. IT’S BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS

CONSISTENTLY BEEN KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD IN MULTIPLE PARTS. REMEMBER THEY KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND SAID WE’RE GOING TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS. SOME OF THIS STATE, SOME AGENCIES OF THIS OTHER DAY. WELL, NOW WE’RE AT THAT SECOND DATE FOR THE BULK OF THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE FUNDED. THAT DEADLINE IS FRIDAY. AND SO THEY’RE NOT GOING TO PASS. THEY SAY, ANY MORE STOPGAP CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS THAT WOULD KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. AND INSTEAD THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO FULLY FUND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS DEAL THAT THEY HAVE FINALLY REACHED, THAT REPUBLICAN

ARE FLOATING THE IDEA OF AID FOR UKRAINE IN THE FORM OF A LOAN. >> WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT AND HOW WOULD THAT WORK? WHAT WE’VE SEEN LINDSEY GRAHAM, FOR INSTANCE, POST ABOUT THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE HAVE SEEN REPORTING FROM OUR COLLEAGUE RACHEL BATE ON THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I’VE TALKED

TO REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE HEARD FROM REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP THIS POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MIGHT OPEN TO A WAIVER LOAN FOR UKRAINE THAT HAD NO INTEREST. WE DO FUND SOME KINDS OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN MILITARIES THROUGH THIS MECHANISM. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO UKRAINE WOULD BE RARE, SOMETHING THAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP, WHO HAS BEEN SKEPTICAL, IF NOT CRITICAL OF AID FOR UKRAINE, HAS EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR. BUT REMEMBER THE MONEY THAT WE OFTEN APPROPRIATE FOR UKRAINE, IT GOES TO SALES HERE AT HOME TYPICALLY TO REPLENISH EXISTING TESTING, U.S. STOCKPILES OF WEAPONS THAT WILL SEND TO UKRAINE, SENDING THEM MONEY

IN THE FORM OF A WAVE OF A LOAN WOULD BE CONTRARY TO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. MEANTIME, REMEMBER, A $95 BILLION FOREIGN AID PACKAGE THAT GOT BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN THE SENATE THAT’S SITTING WAITING TO BE VOTED ON BY THE HOUSE. AND SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON HAS

INDICATED HE’S NOT GOING TO PUT THAT ON THE FLOOR. HE CERTAINLY SHOW NO URGENCY TO GET A VOTE ON THAT ISSUE. >> AND FORMER JOINT CHIEFS CHAIRMAN MARK MILLEY SAID TO TESTIFY THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IN 2021, THE LAST YEAR. HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW

WITH ABC NEWS THAT HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS HOW THAT CONFLICT ENDED. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR DURING THE TESTIMONY TODAY? >> WELL, THIS HAS BEEN PART OF A WIDESPREAD REPUBLICAN INVESTIGATION. THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE INTO THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. REPUBLICANS, WHEN THEY TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN

JANUARY OF 2023, SAID THAT INVESTIGATING THE AFGHANISTAN WAS ONE OF THEIR TOP PRIORITIES. AND FRANKLY, IT’S DOWN THE PECKING ORDER OF REPUBLICAN PRIORITIES THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ON A DAILY BASIS. BUT HAVING MARK MILLEY COME IN, WHILE HE’S NO LONGER OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, IS AN

ATTEMPT TO TRY TO POKE HIM FURTHER. HE’S NOT AN OFFICIAL IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY AND HAVE HIM TALK ABOUT THIS, WHICH, AS YOU NOTED, HE HAS ALREADY SAID HE HAS DEEP REGRETS ABOUT. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL. JAKE, THANK YOU. AND PARTS OF THE MIDWEST

AND NORTHEAST ARE BRACING FOR SNOW. AND IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MA THEODORE IS TRACKING IT FOR US. >> IT DOES NOT FEEL THAT WAY OUTSIDE. I KNOW IT’S REALLY COLD, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE FACT THAT SPRING IS REALLY THE BATTLE.

WINTER AND SUMMER IS A TRANSITION SEASON. SO WE’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF WINTER HERE, A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER THERE. AND WE DEFINITELY DO WANT A LOT OF IT IN WINTER RIGHT NOW. SO WE HAVE THIS REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT COLD FRONT MOVE

COULD SEE SIX INCHES TO MAYBE EVEN A FOOT OF SNOW IN SOME OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. MEANWHILE, OUT WEST, A DIFFERENT STORY THERE. THEY’VE BEEN DEALING WITH A RECORD. LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS. CHECK OUT YOUR FRIENDS IN PORTLAND. HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING? SEVEN DEGREES IN MARCH. BILLINGS, 71.

PHOENIX HITTING 80 ON WEDNESDAY AND EVEN IN BOISE BY WEDNESDAY, WE’RE IN THE LOW SEVENTIES. NOW, THIS HEAT HAS FOUND ITS

MORE ON THAT AND YOUR OTHER BUSINESS HEADLINES. ALEXIS, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING TODAY? DIANE, I WANT TO START WITH THE MAIN EVENT, THE WEEK FOR WALL STREET. THAT’S THE FEDERAL RESERVE BECAUSE ALL EYES ARE ON TOMORROW’S FED MEETING WHERE POLICYMAKERS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD INTEREST STEADY, BUT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO GIVE

CLUES ABOUT WHEN THEY’LL START CUTTING RATES. INFLATION IN BOTH JANUARY AND FEBRUARY WAS HIGHER THAN EXPECTED, AND THAT COULD GIVE THE FED REASON TO HOLD ON CUTTING BORROWING COSTS ON THINGS LIKE CONSUMER LOANS, CREDIT CARDS. NOW, FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL HAS SAID IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS

HE DOESN’T WANT TO CUT RATES TOO SOON AND RISK A REBOUND IN INFLATION. BUT GAS PRICES, WE KNOW, CAN LEAD TO HIGHER INFLATION. AND WE HAVE HIT, UNFORTUNATELY, A MILESTONE IN THAT AREA FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE LATE LAST YEAR, PRICES AT THE PUMP ARE NOW HIGHER THAN THEY WERE

A YEAR AGO. >> EXPERTS SAY THAT TREND IS EXPECTED TO IN THE COMING WEEKS, ESPECIALLY IF RUSSIAN OIL FACILITIES CONTINUE TO GET HIT WITH DRONE ATTACKS. ACCORDING TO FAA, THE AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR NOW, 348. THAT IS NEARLY A NICKEL MORE THAN WE WERE PAYING A YEAR AGO.

AND NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION BOUNCED BACK IN FEBRUARY, UP NEARLY 11%, AND THE RATE OF NEW BUILDING PERMITS ROSE NEARLY TWO AND A HALF PERCENT. BUILDERS ARE BENEFITING FROM MORTGAGE RATES BELOW 7%. ACCORDING TO FREDDIE MAC, THE AVERAGE RATE ON A 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE DIPPED LAST WEEK TO 6.74%. HOME BUYERS, OF COURSE,

ARE BENEFITING FROM THAT AS WELL. AND CHANGE IS COMING TO THE ICE CREAM BRAND AND JERRY’S AFTER 24 YEARS. ITS PARENT COMPANY, UNILEVER, IS GETTING OUT OF THE ICE CREAM BUSINESS. IT’S GOING TO SPIN OFF BEN AND JERRY’S INTO ITS OWN INDEPENDENT COMPANY. UNILEVER SAYS THE SPIN

WILL HELP IT FOCUS ON ITS OTHER CONSUMER BRANDS, WHICH INCLUDE DOVE SOAP, PEPSODENT AND VASELINE. UNILEVER, BY THE WAY, ALSO GOING TO CUT ABOUT 7500 JOBS GLOBALLY. SO THAT’S NOT JUST BEN AND JERRY’S, DIANE. THAT’S THE GLOBAL COMPANY TIGHTENING ITS BELT. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS THANK YOU. >> WELCOME.

SHEPHERD THE DRUG IN OLD PILL AND OR GESTURAL I HOPE I’M SAYING THAT RIGHT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND THIS PILL ONLY USES THE HORMONE

PROGESTIN INSTEAD OF A COMBINATION OF PROGESTIN AND ESTROGEN. SO CAN YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT THAT ALL MEANS IN TERMS OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY? >> ABSOLUTELY. I’M GLAD YOU ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF PILL IT IS, WHICH THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF, BIRTH CONTROL PILLS, BUT THIS

ONE ACTUALLY IS NOT NEW. THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED 1973 BY THE FDA. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ARE SEEING THIS WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION BY A HEALTH CARE . AND PROGESTIN ONLY PILLS TYPICALLY HAVE AN EXTREMELY HIGH SAFETY PROFILE. AND SO THIS IS WHY WE ARE SEEING THIS ON THE COUNTER,

BECAUSE NOW THAT WE ARE A DECADES OUT FROM IT BEING APPROVED AND WE KNOW THAT IT’S SAFE, WE WANT TO MAKE IT HIGH ACCESS TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THAT. >> NOW, ARE THERE ANY HEALTH RISKS OR SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS PILL VERSUS OTHER PILLS

THAT REQUIRE A PRESCRIPTION? >> YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MILD SIDE EFFECTS. TYPICALLY, WHAT WOULD SEE, AGAIN, WITH PRESCRIPTION USE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE PRESCRIBED FOR YEARS, AND NOW WE’RE BRINGING IT ONTO THE OVER-THE-COUNTER KIND OF PLATFORM. AND THE REASON THAT WE’RE ABLE TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE ONE OF

ITS SAFETY, WHICH WE’VE MENTIONED BEFORE, BUT ALSO THE MILD SIDE EFFECTS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF UNEXPECTED BLEEDING OR SPOTTING SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OF HEADACHE OR GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS, SUCH AS ABDOMINAL UPSET. >> NOW, THERE’S NO AGE LIMIT ON THIS OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL. DOES THAT CHANGE THE HEALTH RISKS INVOLVED?

>> YEAH, THERE ARE NO AGE LIMITATIONS TO THIS. AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE MOST OF WHAT WE’RE SEEING, WHAT WE SEE AND MISSING OF BIRTH CONTROL IS THAT WE HAVE PREGNANT DISEASE. RIGHT. THAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE THIS IS PREGNANCY PREVENTION. AND SO THIS IS ALLOWING

ACCESS TO PEOPLE WHO MAY BE EMBARRASSED OR SHAMEFUL TO GO TO THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER TO ASK FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS OR MAYBE JUST DON’T HAVE THAT ABILITY IN THEIR THEIR HOME SETTING TO DO THAT. SO ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS A VERY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FORM

OF BIRTH CONTROL THAT CAN BE TAKEN. >> SO WHO STANDS TO BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THIS OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL? >> YEAH, THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION. I THINK THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE OF HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE AND HEALTH AND ACCESS, A LOT

OF PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY GET TO THEIR DOCTOR MAY BE TAKING OFF WORK TO GET TO THEIR DOCTOR, EVEN IF THEY’RE IN SCHOOL AND NOT ABLE TO TALK TO AN ADULT ABOUT WHAT ARE WAYS THAT CAN HAVE BIRTH CONTROL AND DOING THAT IN AN INFORMED MAT WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE.

SO THIS IS A WAY WHERE THEY CAN ACCESS BIRTH CONTROL SAFELY AND ALSO PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET TO THEIR DOCTOR AND ALSO FOR PATIENTS WHO MAYBE JUST DON’T HAVE TIME TO FILL THEIR PRESCRIPTION AND CAN GET IT ON THE FLY. >> ALL RIGHT. DR. JESSICA SHEPHERD, THANK YOU.

THE WENT BACK AND FORTH FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. SPARRING OVER POLITICS, BUSINESS AND EVEN MUSK’S DRUG USE. ABC’S REBECCA JARVIS HAS THE HIGHLIGHTS. >> DOESN’T THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU I MEAN YOU’RE ON WAS OUT TO TO QUESTION CAREFULLY THERE’S 5 MINUTES LEFT. >> BILLIONAIRE TECH MOGUL ELON

MUSK A DEFIANT AND AT TIMES DEFENSIVE IN A CONTENTIOUS NEW INTERVIEW ON THE ONLY REASON I’VE DONE THIS INTERVIEW IS BECAUSE YOU’RE ON THE X PLATFORM AND YOU ASKED FOR IT. OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT. >> DO YOU GIVE US AN IDEA? THE SIT DOWN WAS SUPPOSED

TO MARK THE LAUNCH OF, A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FORMER CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON AND, ELON MUSK’S EX. FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER. BUT INSTEAD, LEMON SAYS THE DEAL WAS ABRUPTLY CALLED OFF. >> APPARENTLY, FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISM DOESN’T APPLY WHEN IT COMES TO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. >> LEMON POSTING THE FULL

HOUR LONG INTERVIEW ONLINE MONDAY ANYWAY, INCLUDING ON X, WHERE HE ASKED MUSK ABOUT SENSITIVE TOPICS LIKE KETAMINE USE. >> BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD YOU HAVE THE KETAMINE PRESCRIPTION. YEAH. YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? WELL, I MEAN, IT’S PRETTY PRIVATE TO ASK SOMEBODY ABOUT MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION,

YOU KNOW, BUT IT’S I THINK IT’S — IT’S I MEAN, I’D SAY, LIKE, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE SORT OF, UH, I DON’T KNOW, LIKE, NEGATIVE CHEMICAL STATE IN MY IN MY BRAIN. LIKE DEPRESSION, I GUESS. AND THEN KETAMINE IS HELPFUL FOR GETTING ANYONE ELSE OUT OF A NEGATIVE FRAME OF MIND.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU EVER ABUSE IT? I DON’T THINK SO. IF YOU USED TOO MUCH KETAMINE, YOU CAN’T REALLY GET WORKED OUT. >> THAT’S WHY I HAVE A LOT OF WORK. LEMON ALSO ASKING ABOUT HATE SPEECH. >> HATE SPEECH ON THE PLATFORM IS UP. SO WHAT THEY WOULD TYPICALLY DO

IS THEY WILL COUNT THE NUMBER OF POSTS, BUT NOT COUNT THE NUMBER OF YEARS. SO WHAT MATTERS IS, WAS THAT, OF COURSE, GIVEN HIGH VISIBILITY OR WHAT DID LIKE ONE PERSON SEE IT? >> REPS FOR THE JOURNALIST TELL ABC THERE WERE LIGHT EDITS MADE TO THE CONVERSATION FOR POSITIVE BUT NOTHING

OF EDITORIAL SUBSTANCE. THE TWO SPARRING OVER MANY TOPICS, INCLUDING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES AND FREE SPEECH. >> SO, DON, YOU LOVE CENSORSHIP, IS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING? NO, I DON’T LOVE CENSORSHIP. THEN WHY? WHY? I BELIEVE IN MODERATION. BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP AS IT IS PORTRAYED AS A PROPAGANDA

WORD FOR CENSORSHIP. BUT I ALSO THINK FREE SPEECH IS ONE THING, RIGHT? OR. YOU KNOW, IT’S NOT ILLEGAL. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN. MUSK LATER CONFIRMED THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP, SAYING LEMON LACKED AUTHENTICITY AND HIS APPROACH WAS BASICALLY CNN. BUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH DOES IT WORK?

LEMON APPEARING ON THE VIEW LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS THE INTERVIEW PRIOR TO ITS RELEASE. >> I THINK IT WAS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM TO SIT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND ACTUALLY HAVE ANSWER QUESTIONS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. >> LEMON DISCUSSED POLITICS WITH MUSK. MUSK FREQUENTLY SHARES HIS POLITICAL VIEWS ON X

AND SAYS HE DOESN’T PLAN TO GIVE MONEY TO EITHER PRESIDENT BIDEN OR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN. ALSO TELLING LEMON WILL NOT HELP TRUMP WITH HIS GROWING LEGAL BILLS. DIANE. ABC’S REBECCA JARVIS THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR STREAMING WITH US. I’M DIANE MACEDO ABC NEWS LIVE

DOLLAR BOND HE OWES IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE. NOW HE’S ASKING TO PAY A LOWER AMOUNT IF THE COURT SAYS NO. AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE A BOND BY NEXT WEEK. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TELLS ABC NEWS SHE’S PREPARED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF SOME OF TRUMP’S ASSETS.

THIS AS A JUDGE RULED TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER MICHAEL COHEN AND ACTOR STORMY DANIELS CAN TESTIFY IN THE HUSH MONEY AGAINST HIM NEXT MONTH. THE JUDGE WILL ALSO ALLOW REFERENCES THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE IN WHICH TRUMP IS HEARD TALKING ABOUT GRABBING WOMEN. BUT THE JURY WILL NOT HEAR THE WHOLE THING.

THE SUSPECT IN THE DELPHI MURDERS NOW WANTS ALL CHARGES AGAINST DISMISSED. RICHARD ALLEN CLAIMS EVIDENCE THAT COULD HAVE CLEARED HIM OF THE MURDERS OF ABIGAIL WILLIAMS AND LIBBY. GERMAN WAS DESTROYED. HIS LAWYERS PRESENTED EVIDENCE YESTERDAY THAT A RECORDING ERROR DESTROYED 70 DAYS WORTH OF POLICE INTERVIEWS IN THE CASE.

AUTHORITIES SAY THE VIDEOS WERE ACCIDENTALLY ERASED. AS OF NOW, THE TRIAL IS SET TO BEGIN IN MAY. MARCH MADNESS IS SET TO TIP OFF TODAY WITH THE FIRST FOUR MATCHUPS. WAGNER AND HOWARD ARE FACING FOR A 16 SEED DATE WITH NUMBER ONE USC AND A CHANCE AT HISTORY.

ONLY TWICE HAS A 16 SEED BEATEN A ONE SEED. VIRGINIA WILL ALSO BE IN ACTION AGAINST COLORADO STATE, FACING OFF FOR THE RIGHT TO BE THE 10TH SEED IN THE MIDWEST BRACKET. THE TOURNAMENT GETS ITS FIRST FOUR GAMES UNDERWAY TOMORROW. AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT’S CONSIDERING CARRYING OUT MORE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED

EVACUATIONS IN HAITI. AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESCUED FROM THE REPUBLIC AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED AMID A REVOLT BY ARMED GANGS. THIS IS EFFORTS TO CREATE A TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL ARE ALSO FACING HURDLES. ABC’S MATT RIVERS HAS THE LATEST FROM PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI.

>> AS GANG WARFARE TEARS HAITI APART, WE FLY INTO THE HEART OF THE VIOLENCE BY HELICOPTER. THE ONLY RELATIVELY SAFE WAY LEFT INTO THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORT AU PRINCE. MILLIONS OF HAITIANS HERE TRAPPED IN THE EPICENTER THAT FROM THE RAMPANT GANG WARFARE, PAINFULLY EVIDENT IN THE BODIES OF AT LEAST

13 PEOPLE SHOT DEAD. SOME VICTIMS, JUST TEENAGERS. DOCTORS SAY WITHOUT OPEN HOSPITALS, MANY ARE DYING IN THEIR HOMES. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE THAT WE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET TO A HOSPITAL FOR CARE? >> WHAT DO I KNOW?

AND I CAN’T GIVE YOU AN EXACT NUMBER, HE SAYS. BUT IS MANY, MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN HOSPITALS IN, PORT AU PRINCE. IT’S NOW COMPLETELY CLOSED. IT WAS LOOTED DURING SOME OF THIS FIGHTING. >> AND JUST LOOK AT THE DESTRUCTION WITH THE AIRPORT CLOSED, THE CITY IS EFFECTIVELY

CUT OFF. HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS STILL HERE WITHOUT A WAY OUT. OVERNIGHT. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SENDING A NOTICE TO AMERICANS IN HAITI SAYING EVACUATION FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY COULD BEGIN SOON. >> THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT, LIKE FEAR SORT OF CAME IN. BUT IT WAS ONLY TO KNOW THAT I

WOULD BE HOME. >> MIRIAM ZANARDI FROM FLORIDA MANAGED TO GET OUT SAFELY RESCUED WITH THE HELP PROJECT DYNAMO. >> EVEN THE HOW WE GOT OUT YESTERDAY WAS A LITTLE FEARFUL BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE HAD TO DO. MATT RIVERS JOINS ME NOW FROM PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI FOR MORE ON THIS.

MATT, WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE RIGHT NOW? >> IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW DIRE THIS SITUATION IS. YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN TO HAITI MANY TIMES. I HAVE A LOT OF CONTACT HERE IN HAITI, AND THE PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO ARE NOT PRONE TO HYPERBOLE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE PEOPLE

WHO ARE USED TO TRAUMA, WHO ARE USED TO VIOLENCE, WHO ARE USED TO THE KIND OF GUNFIRE THAT WE HEARD ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT. AND THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I’M HAVING, EVEN WITH THOSE PEOPLE ARE SAYING THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS BEFORE. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A FAILED STATE.

THERE IS NO REAL GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY INSTITUTION LEFT STANDING IS THE POLICE. I DON’T THINK IT’S TOO MUCH TO SAY THAT THE ONLY THING STANDING RIGHT NOW BETWEEN TOTAL GANG CONTROL OF THE CAPITAL CITY AND WHAT IS LEFT RIGHT NOW. WE’RE JUST A COUPLE THOUSAND POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE INCREDIBLY BRAVE AND CONTINUING

TO FIGHT. >> MATT, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED AND ARE NOW IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. LAST WEEK YOU REPORTED THE WORLD FOOD WASN’T ABLE TO GET AID INTO THE CAPITAL BECAUSE OF THOSE GANGS TAKING CONTROL OF THE ROADS AND PORTS. SO HAS AID BEEN ABLE TO GET

IN SINCE A TRICKLE? AND THAT’S PROBABLY EVEN OVERSTATING IT BECAUSE THERE’S JUST A HANDFUL OF HELICOPTER FLIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT EACH DAY. BUT THEY’RE MAINLY FOCUSED ON BRINGING PEOPLE OUT OF HERE. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS THAT NEEDS TO BE MET WITH AID AT SCALE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TENS

OF THOUSANDS OF MEALS, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MORE PIECES OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, NOT JUST WHAT YOU CAN FIT ON A SINGLE HELICOPTER. TO DO THAT, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BRING SHIPS IN. THE PORT IS RIGHT OVER THERE. IT’S CLOSED. NOTHING IS GETTING IT.

NO FOOD IS GETTING IN. NO AID IS GETTING IN. EVERYTHING IS SHUT DOWN. GANGS CONTROL EVERY SINGLE ENTRY POINT. THE CITY, EXCEPT FOR HELICOPTERS THAT FLY IN, SET DOWN, TAKE BACK OFF IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. SO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE SHORT ANSWER IS THERE IS NO AID GETTING IN. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN

MORE NEEDED, THE HAITI’S PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED LAST WEEK, BUT THIS TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL HAS YET TO BE INSTALLED. SO WHERE DO THOSE TALKS STAND NOW? >> YES, SO THERE IS JUST ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES, DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS IN THE HAITIAN SOCIETY, EVEN REPRESENTATIVES

OF THE CHURCH IDEA IS TO CREATE AND ELECT A TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL. THAT’S MADE UP OF 5 TO 7 MEMBERS THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE IN HAITI. AND THEN THEY WOULD APPOINT A COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. THEY WOULD TRY AND FORM

A GOVERNMENT THAT COULD THEN BRING ELECTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, BRINGING SOME ORDER BACK TO THE COUNTRY. BUT IN TERMS OF WHERE THAT IS WITH THE COUNCIL BEING ANNOUNCED, WE DON’T KNOW THE MOMENT. WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED ALREADY. IT HASN’T. BUT EVEN WHEN IT DOESN’T WHEN IT DOES GET ANNOUNCED,

THE GANGS HERE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY’RE NOT TO ACCEPT THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO I DON’T THINK THAT EVEN WHEN THIS COUNCIL GETS ANNOUNCED, WHICH MIGHT HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK, THAT THE GANGS ARE GOING TO SAY, OH, EVERYTHING’S OKAY AND NOT BE VIOLENT ANYMORE,

THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE. SO WHERE WHERE THE SOLUTION IS HERE HOW THIS GETS BETTER IS ENTIRELY UNCLEAR. >> ALL RIGHT. MATT RIVERS IN HAITI. STAY SAFE. >> MATT, THANK YOU. COMING UP, THE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT A PHOTO OF QUEEN ELIZABETH WITH HER GRANDKIDS AFTER KATE MIDDLETON WAS APPARENTLY SPOTTED AT A FARM

THIS STORY WEIGHING A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.

THEY SAMPLED VICTIMS WILL GET A CHANCE TO MEET THEIR PEOPLE AND. THAT’S SORT OF A LOSS FOR WAY TO SAY, DID YOU SEE THE DOCUMENTARY THAT HOUSE WITHIN THE HOUSE? I DID. I WANTED ERIKA TO SAY I’M SORRY . >> FACE TO FACE. ERIKA, WHY DO YOU THINK THIS

THE HOUSE FLOOR AND THE HOUSE THAT YOU OWN YOU KNOW, YOU’RE WATCHING AMERICA’S ONE STREAMING NEWS MY REPORTING. BREAKING NEWS HISTORY WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELCOME BACK. WILLIAM IS BACK TO HIS ROYAL DUTIES TODAY AFTER APPARENTLY STEPPING OUT WITH PRINCESS KATE OVER THE WEEKEND. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS

OF WALES WERE ALLEGEDLY SEEN WALKING A FARMERS MARKET, BUT MANY ONLINE ARE STILL QUESTIONING IF IT REALLY THE PRINCESS. NOW THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS SPEAKING OUT IN PRINCESS DEFENSE. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI HAS THE LATEST. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE DECEMBER, KATE MIDDLETON WAS SEEN ON VIDEO.

SHE WAS APPARENTLY VISITING A LOCAL FARM SHOP IN WINDSOR WITH HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, AT A STORE JUST ONE MILE FROM THEIR HOME. THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE AND GROWING OVER THE HEALTH OF THE FUTURE QUEEN SINCE JANUARY, WHEN THE PALACE ANNOUNCED SHE HAD UNDERGONE ABDOMINAL SURGERY AND WOULD TAKE TIME AWAY FROM.

PUBLIC DUTIES TO RECOVER. JUST LAST WEEK, THE ROYALS RELEASING THIS PHOTO OF KATE THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED. MULTIPLE NEWS AGENCIES TAKING IT DOWN. THE AFP SAYING KENSINGTON PALACE, WHICH HANDLES COMMUNICATIONS FOR WILLIAM AND KATE, ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT CONSIDERED A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE . THE PRINCESS ISSUING A RESPONSE AFTER AGENCIES TOOK DOWN

THE PHOTO, ACKNOWLEDGING THE PHOTO WAS EDITED AND APOLOGIZING FOR ANY CONFUSION THE PHOTO MAY HAVE CAUSED. >> HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO, BUT THE INTERNET HAS GONE WILD WITH VARIOUS THEORIES ON WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH KATE, INCLUDING POSTS FROM CELEBRITIES LIKE BLAKE LIVELY, POSTING AN OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE

WITH THE CAPTION. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I’VE BEEN M.I.A. KIM KARDASHIAN POSTING A PHOTO CAPTIONED ON MY WAY TO GO FIND KATE. >> THE ROYAL IS DEFINITELY, AT THIS POINT SCRAMBLING. THEY ARE IN CATCH UP MODE BEHIND PUBLIC OPINION AND IS A MESS. >> QUESTIONS ABOUT ANOTHER

ROYAL PHOTO BY THE PALACE IN AN EDITOR’S NOTE GETTY IMAGES WRITING IMAGE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY ENHANCED AT SOURCE. THE PHOTO BY KATE IN 2022, SHARED IN APRIL. 2023 TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUEEN ELIZABETH’S 97TH BIRTHDAY. >> GETTY TELLING THE TELEGRAPH THAT THEY REVIEW THE IMAGE IN QUESTION AND PLACED AN

EDITOR’S NOTE ON IT. >> THE TELEGRAPH POINTING OUT SEVERAL INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING A VERTICAL LINE WHERE THE TURN OF THE LATE SKIRT DOES NOT MATCH AND A DIGITAL REPETITION OF. >> THE HAIR OF ONE OF HER GREAT GRANDDAUGHTERS AND ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI IS JOINING ME NOW FROM

BUCKINGHAM PALACE FOR MORE ON THIS. MAGGIE, WE CAN’T THAT NEW TMZ VIDEO OF KATE, BUT IT’S ALL OVER THE NOW. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. HOW IS THAT? NO, I THINK IT JUST SHOWS, YOU KNOW, HOW HIGH THIS PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FEELS IF

THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING AND RESPOND. THEY SAID YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT PRINCESS KATE. THEY SAID SHE IS A REMARKABLE LADY. AND I THINK WE GIVE HER A BIT OF PRIVACY AT THE MOMENT. SHE’S RECOVERING FROM AN OPERATION, AND I THINK WE SHOULD RESPECT HER PRIVACY HERE. BUT IT’S SO INTERESTING.

I MEAN, YOU MENTIONED THAT VIDEO. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS EVERYWHERE ON SOCIAL RIGHT NOW IN THE WALL. IT HAS QUIETED SOME. IT’S ONLY FUELING OTHER CONSPIRACY THEORIES. BUT YOU KNOW THAT ACTUALLY THE WOMAN, THE PERSON WHO TOOK THAT PHOTO OR TOOK THAT VIDEO, I SPOKE WITH THE SON AND SHE

TOLD THEM SHE THOUGHT THAT WILL AND KATE SEEMED LIKE JUST A NORMAL COUPLE AND THAT ALL OF THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES WERE NONSENSE. NOW, PRINCE WILLIAM IS BACK TO ROYAL DUTIES TODAY, APPEARING AT A HOMELESS SHELTER IN NORTHERN ENGLAND. >> HE HASN’T PUBLICLY COMMENTED ON HIS WIFE’S HEALTH, THOUGH,

SO HOW ARE PEOPLE IN THE U.K. REACTING TO THIS WHOLE THING? >> WELL, WE SAW HIM UP IN NORTHERN ENGLAND AND HE WAS REALLY A WARM RESPONSE. HE WAS UP THERE WORKING WITH HOMELESS CHARITIES AND. I THINK IT’S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PRINCE WILLIAM IS REALLY TRYING TO KEEP WORKING, EVEN DESPITE

ALL OF THE CHAOS SURROUNDING HIM RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, YOU CAN’T IGNORE THE FACT THAT HE’S GOING ON THESE ROYAL DUTIES IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE THEORIES AND CONTROVERSIES. HE HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT HIS WIFE’S HEALTH IN THE PAST. AND EVERY TIME HE’S ASKED AND HE GIVES NO COMMENT.

AND THAT’S SORT OF THE REFRAIN WE’RE SEEING FROM THE PALACE YOU KNOW, FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY ASKED FOR PRIVACY AND THEY SAID WE WILL NOT BE SEEING PRINCESS KATE IN ANY OFFICIAL CAPACITY UNTIL AFTER EASTER. THEY FOLLOW IT UP. THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS LINE. THEY ARE REALLY STICKING TO IT.

SO WE DON’T REALLY THINK THE PALACE IS GOING TO BUDGE. THE FACT THAT THESE VIDEOS ARE OUT ON TMZ, THAT THEY’RE BEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GETTING A GLIMPSE INTO THEIR LIFE. THE BIG QUESTION, WILL THIS CALM DOWN CONSPIRACY? >> I MEAN, YOU’RE ONLINE, DIANA.

I DON’T I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE CALMING DOWN ANY TIME SOON, UNFORTUNATELY. YEAH. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI. THANKS, MAGGIE AND ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. THE PALACE HAS BEEN SO QUIET ABOUT KATE’S SINCE THAT PHOTO EDITING SCANDAL AND THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES STARTED

CIRCULATING ONLINE. WHAT’S THE STRATEGY HERE? WHY NOT JUST HAVE HER COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING? >> WELL, THAT’S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION. AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY WILLIAM AND KATE’S WISHES AND ABOUT HER NEEDS. AND I DO THINK THAT THEY ARE IN THE DRIVING SEAT HERE AND THE

HOW IS PLAYING OUT EVEN WITH THEIR MOST SENIOR AIDES, THERE IS STILL THAT POWER DYNAMIC BECAUSE OF THE POSITIONS THAT THEY HOLD. AND I THINK FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS ABOUT STICKING TO THAT ORIGINAL PLAN, STICKING TO WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY WOULD DO, WHICH WAS THAT SHE NEEDED TIME

TO RECOVER AND THAT SHE WOULDN’T APPEAR UNTIL AFTER EASTER. AND WE ARE NOT AT EASTER NOW. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY MIGHT NOT THINK THAT ANYTHING NEEDED TO CHANGE, BUT THAT RELEASE OF THAT MOTHER’S DAY PICTURE, DIANE, WAS A VERY PIVOTAL MOMENT BECAUSE OF COURSE THE QUESTIONS AROUND ITS

CREDIBILITY SAW AN ESCALATION IN CONSPIRACY AND ALSO SERIOUS DEBATES AROUND TRUST. SO I THINK THAT IS A LEGITIMATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS THE TIME TO PIVOT. AND AS YOU SAY, RELEASE A DIFFERENT PICTURE OR A VIDEO THAT DIDN’T HAVE A QUESTION MARK OVER ITS HEAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, I’VE

COVERED WILLIAM AND KATE FOR A VERY LONG. AND ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO NOT TEND TO GO FOR THESE KNEE REACTIONS. THEY DON’T REALLY TEND TO BE TOO REACTIVE. THEY DO TRY TO PLAY THE LONG TERM GAME. AND KATE IN PARTICULAR HAS

A VERY COOL HEAD AND A VERY LONG TERM VIEW. AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE. I THINK WE’RE JUST SEEING THIS DETERMINATION TO STICK TO THEIR ORIGINAL STRATEGY AND BE VERY CALM ABOUT IT ALL, DESPITE THE HYSTERIA THAT’S GOING ON EVERYWHERE ELSE. >> NOW, THERE’S THIS OTHER DIGITALLY ENHANCED SAID TO

HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY KATE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS PHOTO AND HOW BIG IS THIS ISSUE FOR THE PALACE? >> I THINK THIS IS VERY SAD, THIS IMAGE, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST IMAGES TAKEN OF QUEEN ELIZABETH, AND IT REALLY WAS RELEASED TO THE VERY

ICONIC IMAGE OF HER WITH SOME OF HER GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, AND IS A MATTER, THEREFORE, OF HISTORICAL RECORD. AND NOW THERE IS THIS BIG QUESTION MARK OVER THE HEAD OF THAT PHOTOGRAPH. AND REALLY THIS JUST KIND OF ADDS TO THE ISSUE THAT KENSINGTON PALACE HAS OF THEM BEING QUESTIONED AS A

CREDIBLE SOURCE AND THE TRUST OF THE INFORMATION AND PICTURES THAT THEY PUT OUT BEING QUESTIONED. AND THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE AN INSTITUTION THAT SITS AT THE TOP, OUR SOCIETY AND WHO WE HOLD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD. SO I THINK THE TRICKY THING

IS THAT I DON’T THINK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BIG IDEAS AND KATE HAS ACTUALLY PUT HER HANDS UP AND SAID, YES, I DID TODAY. EDITS OF THE IMAGES. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE JUST DO NOT KNOW NOW WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT THESE IMAGES.

AND IT’S VERY SAD THAT THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH HAS NOW BEEN DRAWN INTO THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CREDIBILITY. >> MEANWHILE, KING CHARLES SEEMINGLY BEEN MORE OPEN WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT HIS CONDITION AS HE BATTLES CANCER. >> WHY A DIFFERENCE? WELL, I THINK KING IS HEAD OF STATE, AND THAT’S A VERY

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION. THERE IS NO EXPECTATION ON HIM . HE HAS A CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION WITHIN HIS SOCIETY AND THEREFORE, HOW HE IS DOING IS MUCH MORE A MATTER FOR THE GOVERNMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAN HOW THE PRINCESS OF WALES IS DOING. I ALSO THINK SOMETIMES I WONDER WHETHER THERE IS THAT MUCH

DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, HE’S TOLD US THAT HE HAS CANCER, BUT HE HASN’T SAID WHAT TYPE. WE DON’T KNOW DETAILS OF HIS TREATMENT. CAITLYN’S US THAT SHE HAS HAD ABDOMINAL SURGERY BUT SHE HASN’T SAID WHAT TYPE SO IS THE DIFFERENCE REALLY SO GREAT. BUT I THINK WHERE THERE HAS

BEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE THAT HE HAS BEEN MORE VISIBLE THROUGHOUT, HE HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED INDEPENDENT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVEN’T BEEN QUESTION MARKS OVER THE OR PICTURES THAT WE HAVE SEEN OF HIM. SO THERE HASN’T BEEN A VACUUM IN THE WAY THAT THAT HAS WITH KATE. >> SO BIG PICTURE, HOW HIGH

THE STAKES HERE FOR THE PALACE WITH THIS TRUST ISSUE OR IS THIS THE KIND THING WHERE IF EASTER COMES AND KATE COMES OUT AS PROMISED, THIS ALL GO AWAY? >> I THINK IN THE SHORT TERM, THIS DEFINITELY FEELS IT’S GOTTEN VERY OUT OF CONTROL. AND I THINK IT’S VERY MUCH AN

EXAMPLE OF IN SOCIAL MEDIA ERA HOW THE NARRATIVE CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THERE’S AN INFORMATION VACUUM. AND I THINK THAT’S SOMETHING FOR THE WORLD TO CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE. BUT I DO THINK PERHAPS IN THE LONG TERM, WHEN SHE COMES BACK, WHEN WE SEE HER I THINK MAYBE

IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT THAT LONG TERM VIEW THAT BECAME WAY MORE CLEARLY PEAKING PROVES TO BE THE RIGHT ONE. >> ALL RIGHT ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY THANK YOU AND TALLULAH WILLIS DAUGHTER OF DEMI MOORE AND BRUCE WILLIS IS OPENING UP ABOUT BEING DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. TALLULAH SAYS THE DIAGNOSIS

CHANGED HER LIFE AND IS POINTING TO SIGNS IN THE CHILDHOOD VIDEO ERIELLE RESHEF HAS MORE. >> BRUCE WILLIS AND DEMI MOORE’S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER REVEALING THE AUTISM DIAGNOSIS SHE RECEIVED LAST SUMMER THAT SHE SAYS CHANGED HER LIFE. THE 30 YEAR OLD POSTING THIS 2004 RED CARPET VIDEO TO HER INSTAGRAM PAGE FRIDAY, SHOWING

HER REPEATEDLY RUBBING HER FATHER’S HEAD AND WITH HIS EAR ALONG WITH THE CAPTION, TELL ME YOU’RE AUTISTIC WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU’RE AUTISTIC. TALLULAH, RESPONDING TO A COMMENT ON THE POST SAYING IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER PUBLICLY SHARED DIAGNOSIS. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, AN ESTIMATED 5.4 MILLION ADULTS

IN THE US HAVE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, OR SD, A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY CAUSED BY DIFFERENCES IN THE BRAIN. PEOPLE WITH ASD OFTEN STRUGGLE SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION AND HAVE RESTRICTED OR REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS OR INTERESTS. >> AUTISM IS PERVASIVE, SO IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE, EVEN IN THE MANY CASES OF ADULT

DIAGNOSES WITH AUTISM. >> SYMPTOMS HAD TO BE PRESENT EARLY DEVELOPMENT. >> MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY, WELL, THIS IS BEHAVIOR IN THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEED ILLUSTRATION OF AN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS, NOTING THAT CHILDREN SOMETIMES RUB THEIR PARENTS FACES IN REPETITIVE. >> A COMPREHENSIVE, AUTISM FOCUSED EVALUATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE FOR KIDS,

BUT A ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF ADULTS WHERE THEIR PRESENTATIONS MAY BE MORE COMPLEX. WILLIS HAS BEEN OPEN ABOUT HER HEALTH STRUGGLES, ANOREXIA AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER. I SPOKE WITH DURING THE PANDEMIC ABOUT HER MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY AS SHE LAUNCHED FASHION LINE. >> MY WORLD HAS COME TO BE THIS

I LOVE THAT ME TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN LONDON. I’M ELIZABETH FOLLOW ME WHEREVER THE STORY IS WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE YOU’RE STREAMING ABC LIVE AND DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE FOR US. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN’T COME UP WITH THE MONEY HE OWES FOR THIS PROJECT. HIS LAWYERS SAY HE’S FACING

INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES SECURING BONDS TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. WHAT COMES NEXT IS? TRUMP NOW SAYS SOME OF HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES SHOULD BE JAILED. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS WARNING FOR ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER. THE PRESIDENT IS URGING BENJAMIN NETANYAHU NOT TO INVADE RUSSIA. WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR CIVILIANS SHELTERING THERE AS TOP

ISRAELI OFFICIALS ARE SET TO VISIT WASHINGTON. AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY HE SECURE THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLAR BOND HE OWES IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL CASE. NOW HE’S ASKING TO PAY A LOWER AMOUNT IF THE COURT SAYS NO. AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE A BOND BY NEXT WEEK.

NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TELLS ABC NEWS SHE’S PREPARED TO SEE SOME OF TRUMP’S ASSETS. CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL JOINS ME NOW ALONG WITH SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE FOR MORE. AARON, MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSED TO ACCEPT TRUMP’S REAL ESTATE FOR

COLLATERAL IN THIS BLOG. WHY THEY DON’T WANT TO TAKE ON A RISK SO BIG. IT’S A BOND TO COVER NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLAR JUDGMENT AND SURETIES TYPICALLY WANT COLD HARD CASH OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY LIQUIDATED INTO CASH AND REAL ESTATE, ESPECIALLY SOME BIG BUILDINGS,

MAY HAVE A LOT OF DEBT. TYPICALLY AREN’T GOOD TO SECURE BOND, ESPECIALLY OF THAT SIZE. SO MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TOLD TRUMP THEY WOULD NOT UNDERWRITE HIS BOND. AND AT THIS POINT, THE ATTORNEYS FOR TRUMP SAY THEY’RE FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES SUCH THAT SECURING A BOND OF THIS SIZE IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.

>> NOW, BRIAN LETICIA JAMES SAYS SHE’S PREPARED TO SEE SOME OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES IF HE CAN’T SECURE THIS BOND, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? >> I THINK WE’LL SEE A LOT LIKE A CIVIL FORFEITURE. >> IT’S A FORM OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING A PERSON’S PROPERTY, BUT THERE’S A LOT

OF ISSUES WITH THAT. >> THERE ARE CRITICS ON ONE SIDE, I’D SAY A CIVIL FORFEITURE IS ARE VIOLATIONS OF DUE PROCESS. THE TAKINGS CLAUSE, THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, AND EVEN THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT. BUT FOR LETITIA JAMES AND A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEY SAY THIS IS A WAY TO EFFECTIVELY THWART CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS

AND EVEN TO HELP FUND LAW ENFORCEMENT. SHE CAN ESSENCE CAN TAKE THAT PROPERTY, RUN IT HERSELF, AND THEN PROBABLY SELL IT OFF TO TRY TO MAKE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT DONALD TRUMP’S OWNS. OH, SORRY. BUT EVEN IS A VERY ARDUOUS ENDEAVOR. >> NOW, JOHN, MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS RAMPING THE RHETORIC

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, SAYING HOUSE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR INVESTIGATING HIM. AND HE’S ALSO SUGGESTED THAT HE COULD PARDON PEOPLE CONVICTED FOR THEIR ROLES IN THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT? WELL, FIRST, I THINK THAT THIS IS NOT ENTIRELY UNRELATED

TO WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. I THINK TRUMP’S DEEP FRUSTRATION AND FEAR OF WHAT CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL WILL DO TO HIS BUSINESS EMPIRE. HE’S LOOKING HE’S ACTING OUT IN A WAY, AND HE’S LOOKING FOR A DISTRACTION. BUT THIS IS ALSO CENTRAL TO HIS CAMPAIGN MESSAGE, SOMETHING WE HAVE REALLY SEEN BUILDING

THE PAST YEAR. IT’S A CAMPAIGN THAT IS BASED ON THE IDEA OF RETRIBUTION AND REVENGE. AND YES, HE IS TALKING ABOUT ON MEDIA A SERIES OF POSTS SAYING THAT LIZ CHENEY, THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE, SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND THROWN IN JAIL. HE’S ALSO SAID THIS ABOUT CASSIDY HUTCHINSON,

THE FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AIDE WHO WAS A STAR WITNESS FOR, THE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE, AND THAT SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE ALLEGATIONS, OF COURSE, ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND NOT. BUT IT IS ENTIRELY IN KEEPING WITH THIS IDEA THAT HE WANTS TO GET RETRIBUTION, REVENGE AGAINST HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS, REPUBLICANS IN THIS

CASE. AND IT’S AMAZINGLY, IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN THAT HE IS DOING IT AT PRECISELY THE TIME WHEN HE IS SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO PARDON THE PEOPLE THAT ATTACKED CAPITOL, THAT HE CALLS THEM PATRIOTS. UNBELIEVABLE. PATRIOTS. SO, IN SHORT, YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE FORMER

PRESIDENT WANTS TO ISSUE PARDONS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ATTACKED THE CAPITOL AND HE WANTS TO PROSECUTE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6TH. >> NOW, AARON, THE JUDGE ALSO RULED MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS CAN TESTIFY IN IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL THAT’S SET TO HAPPEN NEXT MONTH.

THEY’RE ALSO GOING TO ALLOW REFERENCES TO THE HOLLYWOOD THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE WHERE YOU CAN HEAR HIM TALKING ABOUT WOMEN, THOUGH THE JURY WON’T HEAR THE ENTIRE THING. HOW IS THAT? >> IT’S SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT REALLY UNDERCUTS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE DEFENSE. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR FROM

COHEN OR FROM STORMY DANIELS BECAUSE THEY’RE THE TWO THAT ARE AT THE CORE OF THE CASE. STORMY DANIELS TOOK THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT. MICHAEL COHEN WROTE THE CHECK. AND THEN WHEN TRUMP REIMBURSED HIM IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS, THAT’S WHEN PROSECUTORS SAY HE FALSIFIED THE RECORDS. AND COHEN IS PREPARED TO TESTIFY THAT THESE WERE

THESE REIMBURSEMENTS WERE DISGUISED AS LEGAL FEES PAID TO COHEN, WHEN, IN FACT, THERE WAS NO RETAINER WITH COHEN. THESE WERE JUST MEANT TO CONCEAL THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE PAYMENT TO STORMY DANIELS, PROSECUTORS SAY, WHICH WAS TO HIDE A SCANDAL FROM VOTERS IN 2016. SO THE WAY PROSECUTORS GOING

TO FRAME THIS, IT’S THE ORIGINAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. >> JOHN, HOW DIFFERENT IS THIS CASE COMPARED TO THE OTHERS THAT TRUMP IS FACING WHEN IT COMES TO IMPACT ON HIM? WELL, IT’S THE FAR MORE IMMEDIATE IMPACT HE’S DONE. HIS LEGAL TEAM HAS DONE A FINE JOB OF DELAYING THE CRIMINAL

CASES, ESPECIALLY THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL CASES. BUT THIS IS FRONT AND CENTER AND THIS GETS AT THE CORE OF HIS BEING. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE THIS IS HOW HE GOT INTO POLITICS, SAYING THAT HE WAS THE GREATEST, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN IN THE WORLD HAD EVER SEEN TO THE

MASTER OF THE ART OF THE DEAL. AND HERE YOU SEE THAT HE IS POTENTIALLY AT RISK OF LOSING, LOSING ALMOST OF IT. >> AND I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT, DIANE. HE’S SOMEBODY WHO HAS PORTRAYED HIMSELF AS A MULTI-BILLIONAIRE. >> AND WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE, THIS IS A HUGE FINE, BUT IT

IS NOT $1,000,000,000. IT’S LESS THAN A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. AND HIS LAWYERS HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO SAY, NO, HE DOESN’T HAVE THE MONEY. >> SO IT’S A MASSIVE EMBARRASSMENT AS WELL. ALL RIGHT AARON KATERSKY. JON KARL BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU. AND FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE ADVISER PETER NAVARRO

IS REPORTING TO A FLORIDA PRISON TODAY TO SERVE A FOUR MONTH SENTENCE. NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS FOR REFUSING TO GIVE TESTIMONY AND DOCUMENTS TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATED THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL. ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. >> CATHERINE BURROWS, THE FIRST

FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO REPORT TO PRISON FOR ACTIONS RELATED TO JANUARY 6TH. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? WELL, IT’S EXTREMELY BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, HE IS THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO GO TO PRISON OVER OVER THIS. OF COURSE, AS YOU’RE REMEMBERING, THIS IS BECAUSE OF CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CHARGES. TAKE TWO CHARGES HERE.

NAVARRO HAS TRIED TO MAKE THIS LAST APPEAL, I SHOULD KNOW, TO THE SUPREME COURT. OBVIOUSLY, THEY REJECTED HE TRIED TO MAKE A LAST DITCH APPEAL SO WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO REPORT TO JAIL SO HE COULD STAY OUT PENDING APPEAL, FOR EXAMPLE. SO EVERYBODY HAS THAT UP TO THE SUPREME COURT.

SO HE WILL STILL APPEAL THROUGH THE COURTS, BUT IT’S LIKELY THAT THAT APPEALS PROCESS COULD TAKE LONGER THAN HE WILL EVEN BE IN JAIL. >> DIANE, SO WHAT SORT OF PRECEDENT COULD THIS SET? WELL, I THINK THE PRECEDENT OBVIOUSLY HERE HAS BEEN SET BY THE COURTS. NAVARRO DIDN’T ENGAGE WITH THE

JANUARY COMMITTEE AT ALL. HE JUST FLATLY IGNORED THE SUBPOENA. HE THAT TRUMP CLAIMED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, EVEN THOUGH NOTHING TO THAT EXTENT WAS IN WRITING AT ALL. SO OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVEN’T THIS HAPPEN BEFORE WITH A FORMER TRUMP ADVISER, BUT IT SHOWS THAT YOU CAN’T JUST FLATLY IGNORE A CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENA FOR TESTIMONY

AND DOCUMENTS. >> KATHERINE, COULD THIS IMPACT THE FEDERAL JANUARY 6TH INVESTIGATION AND CASE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP? I DON’T THINK SO, BECAUSE THE CHARGES ARE DIFFERENT HERE. THE ELECTION SUBVERSION IN WASHINGTON, D.C. STEMMED FROM TRUMP’S ACTIONS, ACTIONS FROM HIS ADVISERS. THIS IN PARTICULAR RELATES TO ESSENTIALLY STONEWALL IN CONGRESS TO IGNORING

THE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE. SO WHILE THEY ARE RELATED IN THEIR NAME. OBVIOUSLY, THEY’RE RELATED BECAUSE OF JANUARY 6TH. TOTALLY DIFFERENT CHARGES THAT YOU HAVE HERE, TRUMP’S CASE AND PETER NAVARRO’S CASE. ALL RIGHT. SENIOR REPORTER, THANK YOU. HAMAS SAYS AT LEAST 20 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ROUGHLY HUNDRED AND 50 DETAINED IN A

RAID AT GAZA’S LARGEST HOSPITAL. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES SAY THE OPERATION AT AL-SHIFA IS LIKELY TO LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THIS COMES AFTER A PHONE CALL BETWEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN, ISRAEL’S BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, DURING WHICH THE PRIME MINISTER AGREED TO SEND A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON TO DISCUSS A POTENTIAL OPERATION IN GAZA

SOUTHERN CITY OF RAFAH. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS TH, ISRAEL. >> MATT. HEY, DIANE, JUST A DAY AFTER HIS CALL WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN, NETANYAHU TODAY, ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER DOUBLING DOWN ON ISRAEL’S INTENT TO LAUNCH THAT OFFENSIVE INTO RAFAH. THAT’S THE SOUTHERN GAZA CITY WHERE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN SEEKING SHELTER.

MANY OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY DON’T WANT ISRAEL TO LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE AT ALL. THEY WANT ISRAEL TO TRY TO GET AT THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE REMAINING BATTALIONS THAT ISRAEL BELIEVES TO BE HUNKERED DOWN IN RAFAH IN SOME

OTHER WAY, AND, OF COURSE, TO GET AT HAMAS’S LEADERS THERE, INCLUDING ITS HEAD IN GAZA, YAHIA SINWAR. ISRAELI OFFICIALS TELLING ME THERE’S NO WAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE. THE QUESTION IS HOW THEY DO THAT? AND TO THAT END, THEY ARE SENDING A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON, AS DISCUSSED

BY PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU. YESTERDAY, TO HEAR OUT WASHINGTON’S IDEAS ABOUT AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO AN OFFENSIVE AND, OF COURSE, TO DEALING WITH THE MAJOR HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS. ISRAEL RIGHT NOW, SAYS IT WILL SOMEHOW MOVE ABOUT 1.4 MILLION PALESTINIANS, HUMANITARIAN ENCLAVES, PROVIDING THEM FOOD, SHELTER, WATER, HOSPITALS.

IT’S UNCLEAR HOW THAT THEY WILL MAKE THAT OR WHEN. THE TIMING OF THIS IS ALSO UNCLEAR. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT THIS OFFENSIVE IS GOING TO BE LAUNCHED ANY TIME IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, POSSIBLY EVEN WEEKS. DIANE AND MATT GUTMAN IN TEL AVIV, THANK YOU. >> AND ABC NEWS WHITE

HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS CURRENT PRESIDENT BIDEN. AND NETANYAHU SPOKE YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A MONTH AND NETANYAHU AGREED TO SEND DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON FOR TALKS IN THE COMING DAYS. WHY DID THE WHITE HOUSE MAKE THAT REQUEST, DIANE? >> YESTERDAY WE HEARD THIS

STRONGEST PUBLIC OPPOSITION WE HAVE HEARD SO FAR FROM THE WHITE TO THIS POSSIBLE ISRAELI MILITARY OPERATION INTO GAZA. THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, JAKE SULLIVAN, WAS BLUNT. HE SAID A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION BY THE ISRAELIS WOULD BE A MISTAKE BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF CIVILIAN DEATHS AND WORSENING THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA.

AND SULLIVAN SAID THAT THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THOSE SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS TO COME TO THE WASHINGTON TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT HE CALLED A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS. HE SAID THAT PHRASE SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE IS A BETTER WAY. HE SAID THE KEY GOALS THAT ISRAEL WANTS TO ACHIEVE

IN RAFAH CAN BE DONE OTHER MEANS AND THAT THEY STILL SUPPORT THE GOAL OF DEFEATING. BUT THEY WANT TO PRESENT THE ISRAELIS AND DISCUSS WITH THEM THE OTHER THAT THEY COULD DO. NOW, SULLIVAN DID NOT GET INTO THE SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT THOSE OPTIONS COULD BE. THEY WANT TO HAVE

THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE ISRAELIS. AND DIANE, JAKE SULLIVAN ALSO SAID IT IS THE EXPECTATION OF THE WHITE THAT THE ISRAELIS WOULD NOT LAUNCH ANY OPERATION UNTIL THAT CONVERSATION HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE TAKES PLACE. >> SO WAS THIS PHONE CALL COME TO MOMENT THAT BIDEN SAID HE

WOULD BE HAVING WITH NETANYAHU ? >> JAKE SULLIVAN SAID YESTERDAY THAT THE PRESIDENT PUSHED NETANYAHU ON. WHETHER THE ISRAELIS HAVE A COHERENT AND SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY TO DEFEAT HAMAS. NOW, REMEMBER THAT COME TO MOMENT WAS UP ON A HOT MIC FROM THE PRESIDENT AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION.

HE SAID HE HAD TOLD NETANYAHU THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE THAT KIND OF CONVERSATION. I ASKED JAKE SULLIVAN YESTERDAY WAS THAT CONVERSATION YESTERDAY COME TO MOMENT? JAKE SULLIVAN SAID HE WOULD NOT CHARACTERIZE THE CONVERSATION, BUT NOTABLY HE DID NOT SAY NO. HE SAID HE LET REPORTERS THERE YESTERDAY DRAW THEIR OWN

CONCLUSIONS. DAN, IN THE MEANTIME, IS THERE ANY MORE INFORMATION ON THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN WHITE HOUSE AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL INVASION IN RAFAH. YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE BEFORE GOING FORWARD BY THE ISRAELIS WITH THAT OPERATION, JAKE SAID YESTERDAY.

THEY FULLY EXPECT THAT THE ISRAELIS WOULD NOT LAUNCH ANYTHING UNTIL THE WHITE HOUSE IS ABLE TO PRESENT WHAT THEY CALL THE BETTER WAY FORWARD. >> ALL RIGHT. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, OUR AVERY HARPER TRAVELS TO THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF ARIZONA TO HEAR FROM ELECTION OFFICIALS

THE COST OF RUNNING ELECTIONS TO SKYROCKET INTO THE MILLIONS . >> ARIZONA, A CRITICAL BATTLEGROUND IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. CONSPIRACY THEORIES HAVE FORCED HERE SINCE THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHEN CROWDS TRUMP SUPPORTERS GATHERED OUTSIDE THE MARICOPA COUNTY TABULATION CENTER IN PHOENIX, CALLING UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMORS THAT VOTES FOR THE REPUBLICAN

PRESIDENT WERE NOT BEING COUNTED. THIS IS DOING A CREDIT TO NOBODY TO LYING. FOUR YEARS LATER, THERE REMAINS EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD. BUT OFFICIALS SAY THE THREAT HAS SKYROCKETED. THE COST OF RUNNING ELECTIONS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE AS A RESULT OF THINGS THAT HAVE

BEEN ADDED TO THE PROCESS SINCE 2020. >> MIRACLE COUNTY RECORDER STEPHEN RICHER, A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN, HAS A BIG TASK AHEAD. >> DO YOU FEAR THAT THOSE FOLKS COULD BE REPLACED WITH PEOPLE WHO WOULD WANT TO OVERTURN ELECTION RESULTS WITH WHO ARE BAD ACTORS? >> OF COURSE, WE HAVE GOOD LAWS, WE HAVE GOOD

AND RICHARD WALKED US THROUGH WAREHOUSE WHERE THEY STORE ALL THE SUPPLIES NECESSARY TO RUN ELECTION ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY, MARICOPA COUNTY. >> WE’RE LARGER GEOGRAPHICALLY THAN SEVEN STATES.

A GROWING NUMBER WOMEN ARE OPTING TO FREEZE THEIR EGGS. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, ABOUT ONE IN FIVE WOMEN WITH NO PRIOR BIRTHS ARE UNABLE TO GET PREGNANT AFTER A YEAR OF TRYING. >> NOW MORE AND MORE WOMEN ARE TURNING TO EGG FREEZING, HOPING IT’S A KIND OF INSURANCE POLICY FOR DEALING WITH INFERTILITY.

REBECCA JARVIS HAS MORE. >> I AM ABOUT TO TAKE MY FIRST SET OF SHOTS AND I AM SO NERVOUS. NATALIE BAILEY, AN ENGINEER FROM TEXAS, IS ABOUT TO START HER WEEKS LONG JOURNEY TO FREEZE EGGS. >> THESE ARE ALL THE SHOTS I HAVE TO TAKE. THE PROCESS CAN TAKE

ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 2 TO 3 WEEKS WITH MULTIPLE HORMONE INJECTIONS A DAY, ULTRASOUND COMBINED WITH DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS, EVERY OTHER DAY LEADING UP TO THE RETRIEVAL. >> I’M PUSHING 40. I WASN’T IF I WANTED TO FULLY CLOSE THE DOOR ON HAVING CHILDREN, THE NUMBER OF WOMEN FREEZING THEIR EGGS HAS

INCREASED MORE THAN 150% OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS AVERAGE ABOUT 15 TO OVER $20,000, WHICH INCLUDES COST OF THE EGG FREEZING PROCESS, MEDICATIONS AND ANNUAL STORAGE. MEANTIME, A RECENT STUDY FOUND ONLY TWO AND A HALF TO 3% OF WOMEN WHO FREEZE THEIR EGGS RETURN TO USE THAT.

IT FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE WE ARE TELLING MEN THAT THEY MUST DO THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TO HAVE INFERTILITY. THAT’S NOT FAIR. CUTS IN FERTILITY IS INCREASING. PEOPLE ARE PUTTING OFF THEIR FAMILY BUILDING FOR LONGER. AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, THAT PEACE OF MIND IS A WORK.

>> THAT 31% OF COMPANIES ARE OFFERING FERTILITY. AND NATALIE SAYS HER COMPANIES SUPPORT WAS CRUCIAL. AFTER 16 DAYS, SHE WAS READY FOR HER EGG RETRIEVAL AT INSPIRE HOUSTON FERTILITY INSTITUTE. >> THIS IS THE BOTTOM TO YOUR HEART. THE OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE TAKES ,ABOUT 30 MINUTES. 21.

NITROGEN FOR WARMING. THE PROCESS IS REVERSED, WHICH CAN DETERMINE IF SOME EGGS WERE COMPROMISED. THE ATTRITION COULD LOOK LIKE THIS. 20 EGGS ARE PRESERVED. 75 SURVIVE. 13 SUCCESSFULLY FERTILIZED. SEVEN BECOME EMBRYOS. THREE ARE VIABLE AFTER GENETIC TESTING AND ONE IMPLANTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY. NATALIE WAS HAPPY TO LEARN

25 EGGS WERE RETRIEVED HER PROCEDURE. >> I’M VERY HAPPY I WAS ABLE TO TO DO. AND AT LEAST I KNOW I HAVE A BACKUP IF I DECIDE TO HAVE A CHILD LATER ON IN LIFE. >> THESE TREATMENTS, AS WE MENTIONED, BE EXPENSIVE AND TAXING ON THE BODY.

BUT MANY EMPLOYERS ARE NOW STARTING TO OFFER BENEFITS TO COVER THEM AND COUNSELORS TO HELP YOU TALK ABOUT THEM. TOMORROW, OUR INFERTILITY SERIES WILL LOOK AT ADOPTION. >> DIANE REBECCA JARVIS, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US TIME DIANE MACEDO. ABC NEWS LIVE IS HERE FOR

KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE. THE DAY’S TOP STORIES START HERE. THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS ,I AM GOING TO SAY THOSE DOWN. ABC NEWS LIVE FIRST, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN’T COME UP

WITH THE MONEY HE OWES FOR HIS FRAUD JUDGMENT. HIS LAWYERS SAY HE’S FACING, QUOTE, INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTY SECURING A BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES. WHAT COMES NEXT? AS TRUMP NOW SAYS SOME OF HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES SHOULD BE JAILED. THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ON THE HORIZON AGAIN.

LAWMAKERS SAY THEY’VE REACHED AN AGREEMENT. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE BILL AND WHAT’S AT STAKE AS FRIDAY’S DEADLINE. BIRTH CONTROL IN YOUR AMAZON CARD NOW A REALITY. WE’RE ANSWERING THE BIG QUESTIONS. DO YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? AND ELON MUSK VERSUS LEMON,

THE FORMER CNN ANCHOR POSTED HIS FULL INTERVIEW WITH THE CONTROVERSIAL MOGUL. >> BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD YOU ACADEMY PRESCRIPTIONS. YEAH. YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? >> IN THEIR DISCUSSION ON DRUGS ,HATE SPEECH AND X AND MORE? PLUS, WHY MUSK SAYS X ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH LEMON. BUT WE BEGIN WITH FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP UNABLE TO RAISE THE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLAR BOND THAT THE COURT IS DEMANDING IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE THAT COULD LEAD THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S TO SEIZE SOME OF HIS ASSETS. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ERICA HAS THE LATEST. >> DONALD TRUMP IS UNABLE TO A

BOND TO COVER THE NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLARS HE OWES AFTER A JUDGE HIM LIABLE FOR FRAUD. >> I WILL APPEAL AND WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. >> HIS LAWYER SAID TRUMP IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES. HE LACKS ENOUGH CASH TO OBTAIN A BOND SO BIG AND MORE THAN 13 ASSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSED

TO ACCEPT HIS REAL ESTATE COLLATERAL. HIS ATTORNEYS ARGUED TRUMP SHOULDN’T BE FORCED TO SELL ANY. RAISING MONEY THROUGH A FIRE SALE THEY SAID WOULD RESULT IN IRRECOVERABLE LOSSES IF HIS APPEAL SUCCEEDS. >> WE’VE GOT TO UP THE BOND AMOUNT IN ORDER TO APPEAL IT. IF WE DON’T DO THAT, THEN ONE,

YOU KNOW, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO APPEAL AND YOU’VE YOU’VE CONCEDED, YOU’VE LOST. >> TRUMP ASKED THE COURT TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A BOND WHILE HE APPEALS OR ALLOW HIM TO POST SOMETHING SMALLER, SAYING A $464 MILLION BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. BUT IF THE COURT SAYS NO AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE

A BOND BY NEXT WEEK, NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TOLD ABC NEWS SHE IS PREPARED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF TRUMP’S ASSETS IF HE DOES NOT HAVE FUNDS TO PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT. THEN WE WILL SEEK, YOU KNOW, JUDGMENT ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS IN COURT, AND WE WILL ASK

THE JUDGE TO SEIZE HIS ASSETS. >> SEIZING REAL ESTATE IS NOT A QUICK. BUT DIANE, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD US SHE IS DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP PAYS WHAT HE OWES. >> AND DIANE IS ALSO NEWS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL CASE HERE IN NEW YORK THAT TRUMP IS.

THE JUDGE HAS JUST SIDED WITH PROSECUTORS AND SAID HE WILL ALLOW TESTIMONY FROM TWO KEY WITNESSES. TRUMP’S FORMER MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS, THE RECIPIENT OF THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT AT THE CENTER OF THE CASE. >> DIANE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND THE LEGAL CHALLENGES COME

AS TRUMP IS RAMPING UP THE RHETORIC ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. RICK TRUMP SAYS HOUSE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR INVESTIGATING HIM AND HAS SUGGESTED THAT HE COULD PARDON PEOPLE CONVICTED FOR THEIR ROLES. THE JANUARY SIX ATTACK

ON THE CAPITOL. HOW COULD ALL OF THIS IMPACT HIS CAMPAIGN? >> DIANE, IT’S WORTH REMEMBERING THAT WE’RE MOVING OUT OF THE PRIMARY SEASON AND NOW INTO THE GENERAL SEASON. AND THIS KIND OF THESE KIND OF COMMENTS MIGHT HAVE HELPED HIM ALONG WITH CORE REPUBLICAN VOTERS, BUT THEY’RE

GOING TO HELP HIM IN REMINDING PEOPLE OF THE HORRORS AND THE OUTRAGES OF JANUARY SIX. AND HE’S CONTINUED, AS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT, TO TRY TO REWRITE THE HISTORY OF THAT DAY. THAT EXACTLY WHERE HIS POLITICAL VULNERABILITIES COULD LIE. AND I’VE TALKED TO A OF PEOPLE AROUND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN.

THEY WANT TO FIND FRESH TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THE THREATS TO DEMOCRACY THAT, IN THEIR VIEW, DONALD TRUMP POSES. SO FOR HIM TO PRAISE THE JANUARY SIX ERS, TO SUGGEST THAT THEY THAT THEY ARE DESERVING OF PARDONS, DO SAY THAT YOU’RE GOING TO PROSECUTE A POLITICAL OPPONENT THAT IS THAT IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS

AND INCENDIARY RHETORIC ON THE POLITICAL FRONT. AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE’RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT FROM THE CAMPAIGN. WHETHER OR NOT TRUMP PIZZA NOW, LIZ CHENEY HAS BEEN MULLING A RUN, WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT COULD A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE LIKE THAT HAVE ON THIS RACE? YEAH, I’VE TO PEOPLE CLOSE

TO CHENEY AND I DON’T ANTICIPATE THAT SHE’S GOING TO RUN. SHE’S BEEN TARGETED BY CONTINUALLY. SHE LOST HER SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO A PRIMARY CHALLENGER BACKED BY TRUMP. AND NOW TRUMP SAYING THAT THAT SHE DESERVES BE TO BE PROSECUTED FOR HER ROLE IN THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE.

THERE’S, YOU KNOW, SHE WON’T BACK PRETTY PRETTY HARD ON THAT AND SAYING JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT IT OUT THERE DOESN’T MEAN IT’S TRUE. I DON’T ANTICIPATE, THOUGH, THAT SHE RUNS. I THINK THE THING TO WATCH IS GOING TO BE WHERE SHE AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE MIKE PENCE, OTHER REPUBLICANS

WHO SAY THEY’RE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT TRUMP. WHERE THEIR SUPPORT GOES, WHERE THEY TRY TO DIRECT THEIR SUPPORTERS, THEY HAVE A PRETTY WELL-FUNDED POLITICAL OPERATIONS, CHENEY IN PARTICULAR. AND WHERE THOSE EFFORTS GO? MAYBE IT GOES TO A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE, BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM ALL THAT LIKELY AT THIS MOMENT.

>> NOW, TODAY’S PRIMARIES IN FIVE STATES INCLUDE A KEY SENATE RACE IN OHIO. >> WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING FOR THERE? THE OHIO IS FASCINATING BECAUSE IT’S ONE OF THESE RACES WHERE TRUMP HAS A FAVORITE CANDIDATE AND MEMBERS, THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE HAVE OTHER CANDIDATES. IN FACT, THERE’S TWO OF THEM

IN OHIO. AND IT’S A VERY CLOSE RACE, ACCORDING TO THE POLLS. DONALD TRUMP WAS THERE OVER THE WEEKEND WHERE HE MADE THOSE THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT ABOUT THE BLOODBATH THAT THAT HE SAID WOULD WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE ECONOMY. AND BEYOND IF HE WASN’T TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY.

AND HE’S BEEN ALL IN FOR CANDIDATE THERE. BUT THERE ARE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING THAT AND SAYING WE IF YOU FIND MORE OF A MAINSTREAM KIND OF ESTABLISHMENT MINDED REPUBLICAN, YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING. AND OHIO IS ONE OF A COUPLE OF STATES THAT ARE RED AT

THE PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL WHERE REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE TO PICK UP A SENATE SEAT. THEY FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THEIR CHANCES THERE. THE QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF REPUBLICAN THEY PUT UP TO RUN AGAINST SENATOR SHERROD BROWN THIS FALL. >> WE’LL FIND OUT TONIGHT. AND WHAT OTHER RACES ARE YOU WATCHING TODAY, RICK?

WELL, LOOK, THE PRIMARIES, AS I SAID, ARE BASICALLY OVER, BUT THE NUMBER OF UNCOMMITTED VOTERS THAT WE GET OR PEOPLE VOTING IN ESSENTIALLY PROTEST AGAINST, JOE BIDEN ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE COULD STILL BE A STORY, AS COULD THE NUMBER OF VOTES NIKKI HALEY GETS IN SOME VERY POPULOUS STATES LIKE FLORIDA OR

IN ARIZONA OR IN OHIO. A LOT OF VOTERS, THEY ARE THOSE ARE IMPORTANT STATES. SOME OF THOSE VOTERS MAY HAVE VOTED BEFORE NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. BUT IF THERE’S ANY KIND OF LINGERING RESENTMENT OR OVER TRUMP GETTING THE NOMINATION, ALMOST CERTAINLY IT’LL BE THERE. WE ALSO HAVE A AGAINST

A SITTING HOUSE MEMBER IN IN ILLINOIS AND RACE TO REPLACE KEVIN MCCARTHY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THE DRAMA THERE IS GOING TO BE A REPUBLICAN REPLACES IT. BUT IF THAT PERSON DOESN’T GET MORE THAN 50% OF THE VOTE TODAY, IT’LL BE TWO MONTHS UNTIL THEY CAN FILL THAT SEAT.

AND OF COURSE, THAT’S A VOTE THAT SPEAKER JOHNSON AND HOUSE REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE TO GET LIKE YESTERDAY. >> ALL RIGHT. POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN, ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE YOU, RICK. THANK YOU. THANKS, SAM. AND LAWMAKERS HAVE REACHED A DEAL TO AVERT A PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BEFORE FRIDAY’S DEADLINE. PRESIDENT BIDEN NOW SAYS

HE WILL SIGN IT AS SOON AS IT REACHES HIS DESK. ABC’S JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THAT. >> JAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS DEAL AND WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT A LOOMING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? >> BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT A LOOMING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

NOW, DIANE, IF THIS DEAL IS SUCCESSFUL. WE WON’T BE TALKING ABOUT IT ANY MORE, LEAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. AND SO THE PLAN THIS. THEY SETTLED ON DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY. THAT WAS THE FINAL STICKING POINT. NOW, TEXT OF THAT LEGISLATION IS BEING DRAFTED. IT’S SUPPOSED TO COME OUT

WITHIN THE COMING DAYS, IDEALLY TODAY. THEY’RE PLAYING AGAINST A TIGHT LEGISLATIVE CLOCK. THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, SO THERE MIGHT BE THE POSSIBILITY OF A SHUTDOWN OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT ALL SIGNS TO AVERTING A WIDESPREAD GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AFTER THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION. IT’S BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN KICKING THE

CAN DOWN THE ROAD IN MULTIPLE PARTS. REMEMBER, THEY KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND SAID WE’RE GOING TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS. SOME AGENCIES OF THIS STATE, SOME AGENCIES OF THIS OTHER DATE. WELL, NOW WE’RE AT THAT SECOND DATE FOR THE BULK OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THAT NEEDS TO BE. THAT DEADLINE IS FRIDAY. AND SO THEY’RE NOT GOING PASS, THEY SAY, ANY MORE STOPGAP CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS THAT KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. AND INSTEAD THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO FULLY FUND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH THIS DEAL THAT THEY HAVE FINALLY REACHED. >> NOW, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS

ARE FLOATING THE IDEA OF AID FOR UKRAINE, THE FORM OF A LOAN. >> WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT AND HOW WOULD THAT WORK? WHAT WE’VE SEEN LINDSEY GRAHAM, FOR INSTANCE, POST ABOUT THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE HAVE SEEN REPORTING FROM OUR COLLEAGUE RACHEL BATE ON THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I’VE TALKED

TO REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE HEARD FROM REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP THIS POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MIGHT BE OPEN TO A WAIVER LOAN FOR UKRAINE THAT HAD NO INTEREST. WE DO FUND SOME KINDS OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN MILITARIES THROUGH THIS MECHANISM. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO UKRAINE, THIS WOULD BE RARE AND THAT

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WHO HAS BEEN SKEPTICAL, IF NOT CRITICAL OF AID FOR UKRAINE, HAS EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR. BUT REMEMBER, THE MONEY WE OFTEN APPROPRIATE FOR UKRAINE. IT GOES TO WEAPONS SALES HERE AT HOME TYPICALLY TO REPLENISH EXISTING U.S. STOCKPILES OF WEAPONS THAT WE SEND TO UKRAINE. SO SENDING THEM MONEY IN THE

FORM OF A WAVE OF THE LOAN WOULD BE CONTRARY TO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. MEANTIME, REMEMBER, THERE’S A $95 BILLION FOREIGN AID PACKAGE THAT GOT BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN THE SENATE THAT’S SITTING WAITING TO BE VOTED ON BY THE HOUSE. AND MIKE JOHNSON HAS INDICATED

HE’S NOT GOING TO PUT THAT ON THE FLOOR. HE’S CERTAINLY SHOWN NO URGENCY TO GET A VOTE ON THAT ISSUE. >> AND JAY, FORMER CHIEFS CHAIRMAN MARK MILLEY SAID TO TESTIFY THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE U.S. FROM AFGHANISTAN IN 2021 AND LAST YEAR. HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW

WITH ABC NEWS THAT HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS ABOUT HOW THAT CONFLICT ENDED. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR DURING THE TESTIMONY TODAY? >> WELL, THIS HAS BEEN PART OF A WIDESPREAD REPUBLICAN INVESTIGATION BY HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE INTO THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. REPUBLICAN WHEN THEY TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN

JANUARY OF 2023, SAID THAT INVESTIGATING THE AFGHAN U.S. WITHDRAWAL WAS ONE OF THEIR TOP PRIORITIES. AND FRANKLY, GONE DOWN THE PECKING ORDER OF REPUBLICAN PRIORITIES THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ON A DAILY BASIS. BUT HAVING MARK MILLEY COME IN WHILE HE’S NO CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF,

IS AN ATTEMPT TO TRY TO POKE HIM FURTHER. WHILE HE’S NOT AN OFFICIAL IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY AND HAVE HIM TALK, THIS WITHDRAWAL, WHICH, AS YOU NOTED, HE HAS ALREADY SAID HE HAS REGRETS ABOUT IT. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL. >> JAKE, THANK YOU. AND PARTS OF THE MIDWEST

AND NORTHEAST ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST MA THEODORE IS TRACKING IT FOR US TOMORROW. >> IT DOES NOT FEEL THAT WAY OUTSIDE. I KNOW IT’S REALLY COLD. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE FACT THAT SPRING IS REALLY

THE BATTLE BETWEEN WINTER AND SUMMER IS A TRANSITION SEASON. SO WE’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF WINTER HERE, A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER THERE. AND WE DEFINITELY DO WANT A LOT OF IT IN WINTER RIGHT NOW. SO WE HAVE THIS REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR BECAUSE WE

HAVE THAT COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH OVER THE WEEKEND THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE NORTHEAST AND THIS REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR KIND OF DIPS DOWN AND BRINGS US INTO THE TEENS IN MINNEAPOLIS TOMORROW MORNING. CHICAGO, 29, THURSDAY MORNING, LOUISVILLE IN THE UPPER ON THURSDAY, OUR NATION’S CAPITAL SITTING PRETTY JUST ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK

NEW HAMPSHIRE, WE COULD SEE SIX INCHES TO MAYBE EVEN A FOOT OF SNOW IN SOME OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. >> MEANWHILE, OUT WEST, A DIFFERENT STORY THERE. THEY’VE BEEN DEALING WITH RECORD HEAT. LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS. CHECK OUT YOUR FRIENDS PORTLAND. HOW ARE YOU DOING? 77 DEGREES IN MARCH. BILLINGS, 70 ONE.

>> ROSEBURG, OREGON, HITTING 80 DEGREES YESTERDAY. AND THAT MUCH HEAT MARCHES ON. SO THE NEXT FEW DAYS, TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE. >> UPPER 70S IN VEGAS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. PHOENIX HITTING 80 ON WEDNESDAY AND EVEN IN BOISE BY WEDNESDAY. WE’RE IN THE LOW SEVENTIES.

NOW, THIS HEAT HAS FOUND ITS WAY TO SOUTHERN FLORIDA, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN FOR A LITTLE BIT OF WHIPLASH HERE. OKAY. SO THIS IS HOLLYWOOD BEACH, FLORIDA, TAKEN EARLIER. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SHOT THERE. LOOK WHAT HAPPENS HERE. TEMPERATURES IN THE NINETIES IN MIAMI, FORT LAUDERDALE, WEST PALM BEACH.

THIS IS THIS WAS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TODAY. AND THEN BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, TOMORROW MORNING, THEY’RE A REALLY BIG SWING DOWN INTO THE 50S AND SIXTIES. DIANE, ABC NEWS METEOROLOGIST SOMARA THEODORE. THANK YOU. COMING UP THE NEW OVER-THE COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL. >> WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT HOW MUCH

>> WELCOME BACK. GAS PRICES ARE ON THE RISE AS SPRING BREAK TRAVEL UP AND BEN AND JERRY’S IS GETTING ICED OUT BY ITS PARENT COMPANY . ABC NEWS BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS HAS MORE ON THAT AND OTHER BUSINESS HEADLINES. ALEXIS, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING TODAY? HI, DIANE.

I WANT TO START WITH THE MAIN EVENT OF THE WEEK FOR WALL STREET. THAT’S THE FEDERAL RESERVE BECAUSE ALL EYES ARE ON TOMORROW’S FED MEETING WHERE POLICYMAKERS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD RATES STEADY, BUT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO GIVE CLUES ABOUT WHEN THEY’LL START CUTTING RATES. INFLATION IN BOTH JANUARY AND

FEBRUARY WAS HIGHER THAN EXPECTED, AND THAT COULD GIVE THE FED REASON TO HOLD OFF ON CUTTING BORROWING COSTS ON THINGS LIKE CONSUMER LOANS AND CREDIT CARDS. NOW, FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL HAS SAID IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS HE DOESN’T WANT TO CUT RATES TOO SOON AND RISK A REBOUND IN INFLATION.

BUT GAS PRICES, WE KNOW, CAN LEAD TO HIGHER INFLATION. AND WE HAVE HIT, UNFORTUNATELY A MILESTONE IN THAT AREA. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE LATE LAST YEAR, PRICES THE PUMP ARE NOW HIGHER THAN THEY WERE A YEAR AGO. EXPERTS SAY THAT TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN THE COMING WEEKS, ESPECIALLY IF

RUSSIAN OIL FACILITIES CONTINUE TO GET HIT WITH DRONE ATTACKS TO A THE AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR NOW 348, THAT IS NEARLY A NICKEL MORE THAN WERE PAYING A YEAR AGO. AND NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION BOUNCED BACK IN FEBRUARY UP NEARLY 11%. AND THE RATE OF NEW BUILDING PERMITS ROSE NEARLY TWO AND

A HALF PERCENT. BUILDERS ARE BENEFITING MORTGAGE RATES BELOW 7%, ACCORDING TO FREDDIE MAC. THE AVERAGE RATE ON A 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE DIPPED LAST WEEK TO 6.74%. HOMEBUYERS, OF COURSE, ARE BENEFITING FROM THAT AS WELL. AND CHANGE IS COMING TO THE ICE CREAM BRAND BEN AND JERRY’S AFTER 24 YEARS.

ITS PARENT COMPANY, UNILEVER, IS GETTING OUT OF THE ICE CREAM BUSINESS. IT’S GOING TO SPIN OFF BEN AND JERRY’S ITS OWN INDEPENDENT COMPANY. UNILEVER SAYS THE SPIN WILL HELP IT FOCUS ON ITS OTHER CONSUMER BRANDS, WHICH INCLUDE DOVE SOAP, PEPSODENT AND VASELINE. UNILEVER, BY THE WAY, ALSO

THAT IT CUT ABOUT 7500 JOBS GLOBALLY. SO THAT’S NOT JUST BEN AND JERRY’S, DIANE. THAT’S THE GLOBAL COMPANY TIGHTENING ITS BELT. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS YOU. >> WELCOME. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY FINANCE QUESTIONS FOR ALEXIS, LEAVE A MESSAGE. OUR INSTAGRAM FEED AT ABC NEWS LIVE AND SHE MIGHT

ANSWER YOUR QUESTION RIGHT HERE ON THURSDAY. MEANWHILE, WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAN NOW BUY THE EVER OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL, ALL PILL WAS APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR USE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION LAST YEAR. NOW IT’S AVAILABLE ONLINE AND EXPECTED IN DRUGSTORES SOON. GYNECOLOGIST AND WOMEN’S HEALTH EXPERT DR. JESSICA SHEPHERD

JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE THAT. >> DR. SHEPHERD THE DRUG IN OLD PILL NOR GESTURAL HOPE I’M SAYING THAT RIGHT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND THIS PILL ONLY USES HORMONE PROGESTIN INSTEAD OF A COMBINATION OF PROGESTIN AND ESTROGEN. SO CAN YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT THAT ALL MEANS IN TERMS OF SAFETY

AND EFFICACY HERE. >> ABSOLUTELY. I’M GLAD YOU ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF PILL IT IS, WHICH THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRTH PILLS, BUT THIS ONE ACTUALLY IS NOT NEW. THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED SINCE 1973 BY THE FDA. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ARE SEEING THIS WITHOUT

A PRESCRIPTION BY HEALTH CARE. AND PROGESTIN ONLY PILLS, TYPICALLY AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH PROFILE. AND SO THIS IS WHY WE ARE SEEING ON THE COUNTER, BECAUSE NOW THAT WE ARE A DECADES OUT FROM IT BEING APPROVED AND OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THAT IT’S SAFE, WE WANT

TO MAKE IT HIGH ACCESS TO THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THAT. >> NOW, ARE THERE ANY HEALTH RISKS OR EFFECTS OF THIS PILL VERSUS OTHER PILLS THAT REQUIRE A PRESCRIPTION? >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MILD SIDE EFFECTS. TYPICALLY, YOU WOULD SEE AGAIN, WITH PRESCRIPTION USE.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE PRESCRIBED FOR YEARS AND NOW WE’RE BRINGING IT ONTO THE OVER-THE-COUNTER KIND OF PLATFORM. AND THE REASON THAT WE’RE ABLE TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE ONE OF ITS SAFETY, WHICH WE’VE MENTIONED BEFORE, BUT ALSO THE MILD SIDE EFFECTS, WHICH MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF UNEXPECTED BLEEDING OR

SPOTTING, SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OF HEADACHE OR GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS, SUCH ABDOMINAL UPSET. >> NOW, THERE’S NO AGE LIMIT ON THIS OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL. DOES THAT CHANGE THE HEALTH INVOLVED? >> YEAH, THERE ARE NO AGE LIMITATIONS TO THIS. >> AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE MOST

OF WHAT WE’RE SEEING WHEN WE SEE ANY MISSING OF ANY BIRTH CONTROL IS THAT WE HAVE PREGNANCY. RIGHT. THAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS IS PREGNANCY PREVENTION. AND SO THIS IS ALLOWING ACCESS TO PEOPLE WHO MAY BE EMBARRASSED OR ASHAMED OR TO GO TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDER TO ASK FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS

OR MAYBE JUST DON’T HAVE ABILITY IN THEIR THEIR HOME SETTING TO DO THAT. SO THIS ALLOWS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS A VERY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL THAT CAN BE TAKEN. >> SO WE’RE SENSITIVE THE MOST FROM THIS OVER-THE-COUNTER BIRTH CONTROL PILL. >> YEAH, THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION.

I THINK THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE, HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE AND HEALTH AND ACCESS. A LOT OF PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET TO THEIR DOCTOR MAY BE TAKING WORK TO GET TO THEIR DOCTOR, EVEN IF THEY’RE IN SCHOOL OR NOT ABLE TO TALK TO ADULT

ABOUT WHAT ARE WAYS THAT THEY CAN HAVE BIRTH CONTROL. DOING THAT IN A FORMAT WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE. SO THIS IS A WAY WHERE THEY CAN ACCESS BIRTH CONTROL SAFELY. >> AND ALSO PATIENTS WHO DON’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THEIR DOCTOR AND ALSO FOR PATIENTS WHO MAYBE JUST DON’T

HAVE TIME TO FILL THEIR PRESCRIPTION CAN GET IT ON THE FLY. ALL RIGHT. DR. JESSICA SHEPHERD, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, THE FALLOUT FROM DONALD LEMON’S FULL INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK.

THE TWO WENT BACK AND FORTH FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. SPARRING OVER POLITICS BUSINESS AND EVEN MUSK’S DRUG USE. ABC’S REBECCA JARVIS THE HIGHLIGHTS. >> DOESN’T THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU? I MEAN, YOU’RE ON. I HAVE TO SAY TO THE QUESTION CAREFULLY. >> THERE’S 5 MINUTES LEFT. BILLIONAIRE MOBILE ELON MUSK.

>> A DEFIANT AND AT TIMES DEFENSIVE IN A CONTENTIOUS NEW INTERVIEW. >> THE ONLY REASON I’M DOING THIS INTERVIEW IS BECAUSE YOU’RE ON THE X PLATFORM AND YOU ASKED FOR IT. OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT DO THIS INTERVIEW. >> THE SIT DOWN WAS SUPPOSED TO MARK THE LAUNCH OF A NEW PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FORMER

CNN ANCHOR DON LEMON AND, ELON MUSK’S EX. FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER. BUT INSTEAD, LEMON SAYS THE DEAL WAS ABRUPTLY CALLED OFF. >> APPARENTLY, SPEECH ABSOLUTISM DOESN’T APPLY WHEN IT COMES TO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. >> LEMON POSTING THE FULL HOUR LONG INTERVIEW ONLINE MONDAY ANYWAY, INCLUDING ON X

WHERE HE ASKED MUSK ABOUT SENSITIVE TOPICS LIKE KETAMINE. >> USE. BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD. YOU HAVE A KETAMINE PRESCRIPTION. YEAH YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? WELL, I MEAN, THAT’S PRETTY PRIVATE TO ASK SOMEBODY ABOUT A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW ,BUT IT’S I THINK IT’S SOMETHING I’D SAY LIKE

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE SORT OF A, I DON’T KNOW, LIKE NEGATIVE CHEMICAL STATE IN MY IN MY BRAIN. LIKE DEPRESSION, I GUESS. AND THEN KETAMINE IS HELPFUL FOR GETTING ANYONE ELSE OUT THE NEGATIVE FRAME OF MIND. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU EVER ABUSE IT? I DON’T THINK SO.

IF YOU USE TOO MUCH KETAMINE, YOU CAN’T REALLY GET WORKED OUT . THAT’S WHY I HAVE A LOT OF WORK. LEMON ALSO ASKING ABOUT HATE SPEECH HATE SPEECH ON THE PLATFORM IS. SO WHAT THEY WILL TYPICALLY DO IS THEY’LL COUNT THE NUMBER OF POSTS BUT NOT CAP THE NUMBER OF VIEWS.

SO WHAT MATTERS IS, WAS THAT POST GIVEN HIGH VISIBILITY OR WHAT IF, LIKE ONE PERSON SEE IT? >> REPS FOR THE JOURNALIST TELL ABC THERE WERE LIGHT EDITS MADE TO THE CONVERSATION FOR PAUSES BUT NOTHING OF EDITORIAL SUBSTANCE.

ILLEGAL. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN. MUSK LATER CONFIRMED THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP, SAYING LEMON LACKED AUTHENTICITY, AND HIS APPROACH WAS BASICALLY JUST CNN. BUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH DOES IT WORK. >> LEMON APPEARING ON THE VIEW LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS THE INTERVIEW PRIOR TO ITS RELEASE.

>> I THINK IT WAS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM TO SIT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND ACTUALLY HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. >> LEMON ALSO DISCUSSED WITH MUSK, MUSK FREQUENTLY SHARES HIS POLITICAL VIEWS ON X AND SAYS HE DOESN’T PLAN TO GIVE MONEY TO EITHER PRESIDENT BIDEN OR.

>> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE. THE CRUSH OF FAMILIES ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. ABC NEWS LIVE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE STREAMING 24/7. STRAIGHT TO YOU FOR FREE. YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LIVE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS REPORTING NEW HAMPSHIRE ON PRIMARY DAY. I’M RACHEL SCOTT, WHERE

THE STORY IS. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE YOU’RE STREAMING. ABC NEWS LIVE. I AM DIANE MACEDO. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY, FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE ADVISER PETER NAVARRO HAS TURNED HIMSELF INTO A FLORIDA PRISON. NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED ON CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CHARGES FOR REFUSING TO TESTIMONY AND DOCUMENTS TO THE

HOUSE COMMITTEE THAT INVESTIGATED THE ON THE CAPITOL. HE SAYS TRUMP CLAIMED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE OVER THEIR CONVERSATIONS. >> I WALKED IN THAT PRISON TODAY. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, SUCH AS IT IS, WILL HAVE DONE A CRIPPLING BLOW TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS AND EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. IF A PRESIDENT DOES NOT

HAVE THE ABILITY BETWEEN AND AMONG HIS ADVISERS TO GET CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN THE SANCTITY OF THE OVAL OFFICE. HE WILL MAKE POOR DECISIONS WHICH WILL HARM REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> NAVARRO IS NOW EXPECTED TO SPEND THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS IN THAT PRISON. ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS ME NOW FOR MORE.

CATHERINE NAVARRO IS BLAMING DEMOCRATS, SAYING CONVICTION IS POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. WHAT’S THE CONTEXT BEHIND THAT? >> WELL, THIS IS SOMETHING WE HEAR FROM NAVARRO AND SOME OF TRUMP’S AIDES A LOT. IT’S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT NAVARRO WAS FOUND GUILTY BY A JURY OF HIS OWN PEERS.

THE JUDGE THIS CASE FOUND NO MISCONDUCT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD WARRANT OVERTURNING SUCH CONVICTION. AND THIS IS ALL STEMMING FROM THE JANUARY CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. NOW, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REFERRED FOR FORMER TRUMP ADVISERS TO DOJ ON CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CHARGES. DOJ ONLY DECIDED TO BRING

THE CHARGES AGAINST TWO OF THOSE PEOPLE, ONE BEING PETER NAVARRO, THE OTHER STEVE. SO THAT IN AND OF ITSELF KIND OF CUTS AGAINST THIS WHOLE CONCEPT THAT THIS IS ALL POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BY DEMOCRATS. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU WON’T HEAR CONTINUE OR AIDES TO HIM AT LEAST CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS A TALKING POINT THAT WE HEAR FROM TRUMP’S AIDES OFTEN. NOW, NAVARRO IS THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO TO PRISON FOR ACTIONS RELATED TO JANUARY SIX. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT? WELL, IT’S SIGNIFICANT, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE HE’S THE FIRST FORMER ADVISER. AND IT ALSO SETS A SORT OF PRECEDENT THAT YOU

CAN’T JUST DEFY A CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENA AND COMPLETELY IGNORE IT. SO THERE WILL BE JAIL TIME FOR MONTHS. IN FACT, IT’S TO BE DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT HE ACTUALLY SERVES THAT FULL FOUR MONTHS. WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. BUT ABSOLUTELY, THAT HE IS THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER

WALKING IN TO JAIL FOR ACTIONS SURROUNDING JANUARY 6 OR RELATING TO JANUARY SIXTH. ALL RIGHT, SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. >> AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY HE CANNOT SECURE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLAR BOND HE OWES IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE. NOW HE’S ASKING TO PAY A LOWER

AMOUNT IF THE COURT SAYS NO. AND TRUMP TO SECURE A BOND BY NEXT WEEK. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TELLS ABC NEWS SHE’S PREPARED TO SEE SOME OF TRUMP’S ASSETS. CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL JOINS ME NOW, ALONG WITH SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE AARON KATERSKY AND ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE.

FOR MORE. AARON, MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSED TO ACCEPT TRUMP’S REAL ESTATE FOR COLLATERAL IN THIS BOND. >> WHY? THEY DON’T WANT TO TAKEN A RISK SO BIG. IT’S A BOND TO COVER NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLAR JUDGMENT AND SURETIES TYPICALLY COLD HARD CASH OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY LIQUIDATED INTO

CASH AND REAL ESTATE, ESPECIALLY SOME BIG BUILDINGS THAT MAY HAVE A LOT OF DEBT, TYPICALLY AREN’T GOOD TO A BOND ,ESPECIALLY OF THAT SIZE. SO MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TOLD TRUMP THEY WOULD NOT HIS BOND. AND AT THIS POINT, THE ATTORNEYS FOR TRUMP SAY THEY’RE FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES SUCH THAT SECURING

A BOND OF THIS SIZE IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. >> NOW, BRIAN LETICIA JAMES SAYS SHE’S PREPARED TO SEE SOME OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES IF HE CAN’T SECURE THIS BOND. WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? I THINK WE’LL SEE WHAT, LIKE A CIVIL FORFEITURE. IT’S A FORM OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING A PERSON’S PROPERTY.

BUT THERE’S A LOT OF LEGAL ISSUES WITH THAT. THERE ARE CRITICS. ONE SIDE THAT SAY A CIVIL FORFEITURE IS ARE VIOLATIONS OF DUE PROCESS TAKINGS CLAUSE, THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND EVEN THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT. BUT FOR LETITIA JAMES AND A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEY SAY THIS IS A WAY TO EFFECTIVELY

THWART CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS AND EVEN TO HELP FUND LAW. SHE COULD, IN ESSENCE, CAN TAKE THAT PROPERTY AND RUN IT HERSELF AND THEN PROBABLY SELL IT OFF TO TRY TO MAKE UP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT DONALD TRUMP’S OWNS. OH, SORRY. BUT EVEN THAT IS A VERY ARDUOUS ENDEAVOR.

>> NOW, JOHN, MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS RAMPING UP THE RHETORIC ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, SAYING HOUSE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE MEMBERS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR INVESTIGATING HIM, AND HE’S ALSO SUGGESTED THAT HE COULD PARDON PEOPLE CONVICTED FOR THEIR ROLES, THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

WELL, FIRST, I THINK THAT THIS IS NOT ENTIRELY UNRELATED TO WHAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. I THINK TRUMP’S DEEP FRUSTRATION AND FEAR OF WHAT CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL WILL DO TO HIS BUSINESS EMPIRE. HE’S LOOKING IS ACTING OUT IN A WAY, AND HE’S LOOKING FOR A DISTRACTION.

BUT THIS IS ALSO CENTRAL TO. HIS CAMPAIGN MESSAGE, SOMETHING WE HAVE REALLY SEEN BUILDING OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT’S A CAMPAIGN THAT IS BASED ON THE IDEA OF RETRIBUTION AND REVENGE. AND YES, HE IS TALKING ABOUT ON MEDIA A SERIES OF POSTS SAYING THAT LIZ CHENEY AND THE OTHER

MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND THROWN JAIL. HE’S ALSO SAID THIS ABOUT CASSIDY HUTCHINSON, THE FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AIDE WHO WAS A STAR WITNESS FOR THE JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE. >> I THINK SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE ALLEGATIONS, OF COURSE, ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND NOT TRUE,

BUT IT IS ENTIRELY IN KEEPING WITH THIS IDEA THAT HE WANTS TO GET RETRIBUTION, REVENGE AGAINST HIS POLITICAL OPPONENTS. REPUBLICANS IN THIS CASE. >> AND IT’S AMAZINGLY, IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN THAT HE IS DOING IT AT PRECISELY THE TIME WHEN HE IS SAYING THAT HE WANTS TO PARDON THE PEOPLE

THAT ATTACKED THE CAPITOL, THAT HE CALLS THEM PATRIOTS. UNBELIEVABLE. PATRIOTS SO, IN SHORT, YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT WANTS TO ISSUE PARDONS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ATTACKED THE CAPITOL AND WANTS TO PROSECUTE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INVESTIGATING WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6TH. >> AARON, A JUDGE RULED MICHAEL

COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS CAN TESTIFY IN IN THE HUSH MONEY TRIAL THAT’S SET TO HAPPEN NEXT MONTH. THEY’RE ALSO GOING TO ALLOW REFERENCES TO THE HOLLYWOOD THE ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE YOU CAN HEAR HIM TALKING ABOUT GRABBING WOMEN. THE JURY WON’T HEAR THE ENTIRE THING. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THAT?

>> IT’S SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT REALLY UNDERCUTS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE DEFENSE. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR FROM COHEN OR FROM STORMY DANIELS BECAUSE THEY’RE THE TWO THAT ARE AT THE CORE OF THE CASE. STORMY DANIELS TOOK THE $130,000 HUSH PAYMENT. MICHAEL COHEN WROTE THE CHECK. AND THEN TRUMP REIMBURSED HIM

IN MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS. THAT’S WHEN PROSECUTORS SAY HE THE RECORDS AND COHEN IS PREPARED TO TESTIFY THAT. THESE WERE THESE REIMBURSEMENTS WERE DISGUISED AS LEGAL FEES PAID TO COHEN, WHEN IN FACT, THERE WAS NO RETAINER WITH COHEN. THESE WERE JUST MEANT TO CONCEAL THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE PAYMENT TO STORMY

DANIELS, PROSECUTORS SAY, WHICH WAS TO HIDE A SCANDAL FROM VOTERS IN 2016. SO THE WAY PROSECUTORS ARE GOING TO FRAME THIS, IT’S THE ORIGINAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE. >> JOHN, HOW DIFFERENT IS THIS CASE COMPARED TO THE OTHERS THAT TRUMP IS FACING WHEN IT COMES TO IMPACT ON HIM?

>> WELL, IT’S THE FAR MORE IMMEDIATE HE’S ON. HIS LEGAL TEAM HAS DONE A FINE JOB OF DELAYING THE CRIMINAL CASES, ESPECIALLY THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL CASES. BUT THIS IS FRONT AND CENTER AND THIS GETS AT THE CORE OF HIS BEING. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE THIS IS HOW HE GOT INTO POLITICS

SAYING, THAT HE WAS THE GREATEST, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. THE WORLD EVER SEEN TO THE MASTER OF THE ART OF THE DEAL. AND HERE YOU SEE THAT HE IS POTENTIALLY AT RISK OF LOSING, LOSING ALMOST OF IT. >> AND I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT, DIANE. HE’S SOMEBODY WHO HAS PORTRAYED

HIMSELF AS A MULTI-BILLIONAIRE. >> AND WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE, THIS IS A HUGE FINE, BUT IT IS NOT $1,000,000,000. >> IT’S LESS THAN A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS. AND HIS LAWYERS HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO SAY, NO, HE DOESN’T HAVE THE MONEY. >> SO IT’S A MASSIVE EMBARRASSMENT AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT, AARON KATERSKY JON KARL BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU. HAMAS SAYS AT LEAST 20 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ROUGHLY 150 DETAINED IN A RAID, GAZA’S LARGEST HOSPITAL. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES SAY THEY AT AL-SHIFA IS LIKELY TO LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THIS COMES A PHONE CALL BETWEEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAEL’S

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU DURING, WHICH THE PRIME MINISTER AGREED TO SEND A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL OPERATION IN GAZA, SOUTHERN CITY OF RAFAH. NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS THE LATEST FROM TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. MATT, A DAY AND JUST A DAY AFTER HIS CALL WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN NETANYAHU TODAY, ISRAEL’S

PRIME MINISTER DOUBLING DOWN ON ISRAEL’S TO LAUNCH THAT OFFENSIVE INTO RAFAH. THAT’S THE SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN SEEKING SHELTER. MANY OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY DON’T WANT ISRAEL LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE AT ALL.

THEY WANT ISRAEL TO TRY TO GET AT THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE REMAINING BATTALIONS THAT ISRAEL BELIEVES TO BE HUNKERED DOWN IN RAFAH IN SOME OTHER WAY. AND, OF COURSE, TO GET AT HAMAS’S LEADERS THERE, INCLUDING ITS HEAD IN GAZA, YAHYA SINWAR. ISRAELI OFFICIALS TELLING ME THERE’S NO WAY THEY’RE NOT

GOING TO LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE. THE QUESTION IS HOW THEY DO THAT. AND TO THAT END, THEY ARE SENDING A DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON AT THIS AUGUST BY PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ISRAEL’S PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU YESTERDAY, TO HEAR OUT WASHINGTON’S IDEAS ABOUT AN ALTERNATIVE TO AN OFFENSIVE AND, OF COURSE, TO DEALING WITH THE MAJOR HUMANITARIAN

CONCERNS. ISRAEL RIGHT NOW SAYS IT WILL MOVE ABOUT 1.4 MILLION PALESTINIANS TO HUMANITARIAN, PROVIDING THEM FOOD, SHELTER, WATER, HOSPITALS. IT’S UNCLEAR HOW THAT THEY WILL MAKE THAT HAPPEN OR WHEN. THE TIMING OF THIS IS ALSO UNCLEAR. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT THIS OFFENSIVE IS GOING TO BE

LAUNCHED ANY TIME IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, POSSIBLY WEEKS. >> DIANE AND MATT GUTMAN IN AVIV, THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. KAREN, PRESIDENT BIDEN AND NETANYAHU SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A MONTH AND NETANYAHU AGREED SEND THIS

DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON FOR TALKS IN THE COMING DAYS. WHY DID THE WHITE HOUSE MAKE THAT REQUEST? YESTERDAY WE THE STRONGEST PUBLIC OPPOSITION WE HAVE HEARD SO FAR FROM THE WHITE TO THIS POSSIBLE ISRAELI MILITARY OPERATION INTO GAZA. THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, JAKE SULLIVAN, WAS BLUNT. HE SAID A MAJOR GROUND

OPERATION BY THE ISRAELIS WOULD BE A MISTAKE BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF CIVILIAN DEATHS AND WORSENING THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA AND. SULLIVAN SAID THAT THEY HAVE ASKED FOR THOSE SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIALS TO COME TO THE WASHINGTON TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT HE CALLED A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS.

HE SAID THAT PHRASE SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE IS A BETTER WAY. SAID THE KEY GOALS THAT ISRAEL WANTS TO ACHIEVE IN RAFAH CAN BE DONE OTHER MEANS AND THAT THEY STILL SUPPORT THE GOAL OF DEFEATING HAMAS. THEY WANT TO PRESENT THE ISRAELIS AND DISCUSS WITH THEM THE OTHER OPTIONS THEY COULD DO.

NOW, SULLIVAN DID NOT GET INTO THE SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT OPTIONS COULD BE. THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE ISRAELIS. AND DIANE, JAKE SULLIVAN ALSO SAID IT IS THE EXPECTATION OF, THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT THE ISRAELIS WOULD NOT LAUNCH ANY OPERATION UNTIL. THAT CONVERSATION HERE AT THE

WHITE HOUSE TAKES PLACE. SO WAS PHONE CALL THE COME TO MOMENT THAT BIDEN SAID HE WOULD HAVING WITH NETANYAHU? JAKE SULLIVAN SAID YESTERDAY THAT THE PRESIDENT PUSHED NETANYAHU ON WHETHER THE ISRAELIS HAVE A COHERENT AND SUSTAIN STRATEGY TO DEFEAT HAMAS. NOW, REMEMBER THAT COME TO WAS

PICKED UP ON A HOT MIC FROM THE PRESIDENT AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION SAID HE HAD TOLD NETANYAHU THAT THEY HAD TO HAVE THAT KIND OF CONVERSATION. I ASKED JAKE SULLIVAN YESTERDAY, WAS THAT CONVERSATION YESTERDAY COME TO MOMENT? JAKE SULLIVAN SAID HE WOULD NOT CHARACTERIZE THE BUT NOTABLY

HE DID NOT SAY NO. HE SAID HE WILL LET REPORTERS THERE YESTERDAY DRAW THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS. >> AARON IN THE MEANTIME, IS THERE ANY MORE INFORMATION ON THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL INVASION IN RAFAH? YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION HERE AT THE

WHITE HOUSE BEFORE ANY GOING FORWARD BY THE ISRAELIS WITH THAT OPERATION. AS JAKE, YESTERDAY, THEY FULLY EXPECT THAT THE ISRAELIS WOULD NOT LAUNCH ANYTHING UNTIL THE WHITE HOUSE IS ABLE TO PRESENT WHAT THEY CALLED THE BETTER WAY. ALL RIGHT. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAREN TRAVERS, THANK YOU. COMING UP, OUR AVERY HARPER

CONSPIRACY THEORIES FORCED HERE SINCE THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHEN CROWDS OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS GATHERED OUTSIDE THE MARICOPA COUNTY TABULATION CENTER IN PHOENIX, CALLING UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMORS THAT VOTES FOR THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WERE NOT

BEING COUNTED. THIS IS DOING A CREDIT TO NOBODY TO LYING. FOUR YEARS LATER, THERE REMAINS NO EVIDENCE OF WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD. >> BUT OFFICIALS SAY THE THREAT ENVIRONMENT SKYROCKETED. >> THE COST OF RUNNING ELECTIONS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE AS A RESULT OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE

THIS ELECTION DENIALISM, THE CONSPIRACY, THE THREATS THAT COME YOUR WAY, THEY’RE COMING FROM WITHIN YOUR OWN PARTY? >> YEAH, IT’S — IT’S REALLY SAD. AND WE’RE BETTER. THE DRIVEL THAT YOU MIGHT SEE ON THE 27TH COMMENT ON A BLOG POST, BUT SOME OF THAT HAS ELEVATED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE

IN POSITIONS OF POWER AND WORDS MATTER. AND THERE’S A LOT OF FOLKS WHO WHO HAVEN’T DONE WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED LOTS OF THREATS. AND THEY SAY, I’M NOT DOING THIS WORK ANYMORE. YEAH. WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING JOB? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR REELECTION WHEN THERE’S LOTS

A GROWING NUMBER OF WOMEN ARE OPTING TO FREEZE THEIR EGGS. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, ABOUT ONE IN FIVE WOMEN WITH NO PRIOR BIRTHS ARE UNABLE TO GET PREGNANT AFTER YEAR OF TRYING. NOW MORE AND MORE WOMEN ARE TURNING TO EGG FREEZING, HOPING IT’S A KIND OF INSURANCE POLICY FOR DEALING WITH INFERTILITY.

LAWYERS SAY HE CANNOT RAISE NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLAR BOND HE OWES IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE. NOW HE’S ASKING TO PAY A LOWER AMOUNT IF THE COURT SAYS NO. AND TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE A BOND BY NEXT WEEK. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES TELLS ABC NEWS SHE IS PREPARED

IT’S CONSIDERING CARRYING OUT MORE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED EVACUATION IN HAITI. AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RESCUED FROM THE REPUBLIC AFTER THE PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED AMID A REVOLT BY ARMED GANGS. THIS IS EFFORTS TO CREATE A TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL. ARE FACING HURDLES. ABC’S MATT RIVERS HAS

THE LATEST FROM PORT AU PRINCE ,HAITI. >> AS GANG WARFARE TEARS HAITI APART, WE FLY INTO THE HEART OF THE VIOLENCE BY HELICOPTER. THE ONLY RELATIVELY SAFE WAY LEFT INTO THE CAPITOL OF PORT AU PRINCE. >> MILLIONS OF HAITIANS HERE TRAPPED IN THE EPICENTER. THE DESTRUCTION FROM THE RAMPANT GANG WARFARE

EVIDENT AND THE BODIES OF AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE SHOT DEAD. SOME VICTIMS JUST. >> DOCTORS SAY WITHOUT OPEN HOSPITALS, MANY ARE DYING IN THEIR HOMES. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE THAT WE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET TO A HOSPITAL FOR CARE?

YOU AND I GIVE YOU AN EXACT NUMBER, HE SAYS. BUT IT IS MANY, MANY PEOPLE. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN HOSPITALS IN PORT AU PRINCE. IT’S NOW COMPLETELY CLOSED, WAS LOOTED DURING SOME OF THIS FIGHTING. >> AND JUST LOOK AT THE DESTRUCTION. >> WITH THE AIRPORT CLOSED,

THE CITY IS EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF. HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS STILL HERE WITHOUT A WAY OUT. >> OVERNIGHT, THE STATE DEPARTMENT SENDING A NOTICE TO AMERICANS IN HAITI SAYING FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY COULD BEGIN SOON. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT, LIKE FEAR SORT OF CAME IN,

BUT IT WAS ONLY TO KNOW THAT I WOULD BE HOME. >> MIRIAM ZANARDI FROM FLORIDA MANAGED TO GET OUT SAFELY. RESCUE WITH THE HELP OF PROJECT DYNAMO. >> EVEN THE HOW WE GOT OUT YESTERDAY WAS A LITTLE FEARFUL BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS HAD TO DO.

MATT RIVERS JOINS ME NOW FROM PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI FOR. MORE ON THIS. MATT, WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE RIGHT NOW? IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE HOW DIRE THE SITUATION IS. YOU KNOW, I’VE BEEN TO HAITI MANY TIMES. I HAVE A LOT OF CONTACTS HERE. HAITI AND THE PEOPLE THAT

I TALKED TO ARE NOT PRONE TO HYPERBOLE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE USED TO TRAUMA, WHO ARE USED TO VIOLENCE, WHO ARE USED TO THE KIND OF GUNFIRE THAT WE HEARD ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT. AND THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I’M HAVING, EVEN WITH THOSE PEOPLE SAYING THERE HAS NEVER

BEEN A SITUATION LIKE THIS BEFORE. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A FAILED STATE. THERE IS NO REAL GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY INSTITUTION LEFT STANDING IS THE POLICE. I DON’T THINK IT’S TOO MUCH TO SAY THAT. THE ONLY THINGS STANDING RIGHT NOW BETWEEN TOTAL GANG CONTROL OF THE CAPITAL CITY AND WHAT IS LEFT

RIGHT NOW ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE INCREDIBLY BRAVE AND CONTINUING TO FIGHT AND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED AND ARE NOW IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE. LAST WEEK YOU REPORTED THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM WASN’T ABLE TO GET AID INTO THE CAPITAL BECAUSE OF GANGS

TAKING CONTROL OF THE ROADS AND PORT. SO HAS ANY BEEN ABLE TO GET IN SINCE THE A TRICKLE? AND THAT’S PROBABLY EVEN OVERSTATING IT BECAUSE THERE’S JUST A HANDFUL OF HELICOPTER FLIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT EACH DAY. BUT THEY’RE MAINLY FOCUSED ON PEOPLE OUT OF HERE. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, NEEDS

TO BE MET WITH AID AT SCALE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEALS, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF, YOU KNOW, MORE PIECES, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, NOT JUST WHAT YOU CAN FIT ON A SINGLE HELICOPTER AND TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BRING SHIPS IN.

THE PORT IS RIGHT OVER THERE. IT’S CLOSED. NOTHING IS GETTING IT. NO FOOD IS GETTING IN. NO AID IS GETTING IN, IS SHUT DOWN. GANGS CONTROL EVERY SINGLE ENTRY POINT INTO THIS CITY EXCEPT FOR HELICOPTERS THAT FLY IN, SET DOWN, TAKE BACK IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. SO UNFORTUNATELY, THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO.

THERE IS AID GETTING IN. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE NEEDED, THE HAITI’S PRIME MINISTER RESIGNED LAST WEEK. BUT THIS TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL HAS YET TO BE INSTALLED. SO WHERE DO THOSE TALKS STAND NOW? >> YES, SO THERE IS JUST ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS. YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES HERE,

DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS IN HAITIAN SOCIETY, EVEN NUMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CHURCH, THE IDEA TO CREATE AND ELECT A TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL THAT’S MADE UP OF 5 TO 7 MEMBERS THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE POWERS OF, THE PRESIDENCY HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE IN HAITI. AND THEN THEY APPOINT A COUNCIL OF MINISTERS.

THEY WOULD TRY AND FORM A GOVERNMENT THAT THEN BRING ELECTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, BRINGING SOME ORDER BACK TO THE COUNTRY. BUT IN TERMS OF WHERE THAT IS WITH THE COUNCIL BEING ANNOUNCED, WE DON’T KNOW AT THE MOMENT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED ALREADY. IT HASN’T.

BUT EVEN WHEN IT DOESN’T WHEN IT DOES GET ANNOUNCED, THE GANGS HERE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THAT MOVING FORWARD. SO I DON’T THINK THAT EVEN WHEN COUNCIL GETS ANNOUNCED, WHICH MIGHT HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK, THAT THE GANGS GOING TO SAY, OH, EVERYTHING’S OKAY

AND NOT BE VIOLENT ANYMORE, THEY’RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE. SO WHERE THE SOLUTION IS HERE, HOW THIS GETS BETTER IS ENTIRELY UNCLEAR. >> ALL RIGHT. MATT RIVERS IN HAITI. STAY. >> MATT, THANK YOU.

TWO WOMEN WHO NOW YOU’RE WATCHING ARE AMERICA’S NUMBER STREAMING NEWS ABC NEWS LIVE, BREAKING NEWS, EXCLUSIVES, LIVE REPORTING ACROSS THE GLOBE. KEEP STREAMING WITH ABC NEWS LIVE. >> WELCOME BACK. PRINCE WILLIAM IS BACK TO HIS ROYAL DUTIES TODAY AFTER APPARENTLY STEPPING OUT WITH PRINCESS KATE OVER THE WEEKEND. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS

OF WALES WERE ALLEGEDLY SEEN WALKING AT A FARMERS MARKET, BUT MANY ONLINE ARE STILL QUESTIONING IF IT REALLY WAS THE PRINCESS. NOW THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS SPEAKING OUT IN PRINCESS KATE’S DEFENSE. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI HAS THE LATEST. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE DECEMBER, KATE MIDDLETON WAS

SEEN ON VIDEO. SHE WAS APPARENTLY VISITING A LOCAL FARM SHOP IN WINDSOR WITH HER HUSBAND, PRINCE WILLIAM, AT A STORE JUST ONE MILE FROM THEIR HOME. THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE AND GROWING SCRUTINY OVER THE HEALTH OF THE FUTURE QUEEN SINCE JANUARY, WHEN THE PALACE ANNOUNCED SHE HAD UNDERGONE ABDOMINAL SURGERY AND WOULD

TAKE AWAY FROM PUBLIC DUTIES TO RECOVER. JUST LAST WEEK, THE ROYALS RELEASING, THIS PHOTO OF KATE THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED. MULTIPLE NEWS AGENCIES TAKING IT DOWN. THE AFP SAYING KENSINGTON PALACE, WHICH HANDLES COMMUNICATIONS FOR WILLIAM AND KATE, ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT CONSIDERED A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE . THE PRINCESS ISSUING A RESPONSE

AFTER AGENCIES TOOK DOWN THE PHOTO, ACKNOWLEDGING THE PHOTO WAS EDITED AND APOLOGIZING FOR ANY CONFUSION PHOTO MAY HAVE CAUSED. >> HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE, BUT THE INTERNET HAS GONE WILD WITH VARIOUS THEORIES ON WHAT’S WITH KATE, INCLUDING POSTS FROM CELEBRITIES LIKE BLAKE LIVELY.

POSTING AN OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE WITH THE CAPTION. NOW YOU WHY I’VE BEEN M.I.A. KIM KARDASHIAN POSTING A PHOTO CAPTIONED ON MY WAY TO GO FIND KATE. >> THE ROYAL FAMILY IS DEFINITELY, AT THIS POINT SCRAMBLING. THEY ARE IN CATCH UP MODE BEHIND PUBLIC OPINION AND IT IS A MESS.

QUESTIONS ABOUT ANOTHER ROYAL PHOTO RELEASED BY THE PALACE IN AN EDITOR’S NOTE. GETTY IMAGES WRITING IMAGE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY AT SOURCE. THE PHOTO TAKEN BY KATE IN 2020 TO SHARED IN APRIL 2023 TO MARK WHAT WOULD HAVE QUEEN ELIZABETH’S 97TH BIRTHDAY. GETTY TELLING THE TELEGRAPH THEY REVIEW THE IMAGE

IN QUESTION AND PLACED AN EDITOR’S NOTE ON IT. THE TELEGRAPH POINTED OUT SEVERAL INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING A VERTICAL LINE WHERE THE TURN OF THE LATE QUEEN SKIRT DOES NOT MATCH AND A DIGITAL REPETITION OF THE HAIR OF ONE OF HER GREAT GRANDDAUGHTERS. AND ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RUIZ

JOINING ME NOW FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE FOR MORE ON THIS. MAGGIE, WE CAN’T SHOW THAT NEW TMZ VIDEO OF KATE, BUT IT’S ALL OVER THE INTERNET NOW. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS ADDRESSING ISSUE. HOW UNUSUAL IS THAT? YOU KNOW, I THINK IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW HIGH THIS PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED.

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FEELS AS IF THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING AND RESPOND. THEY SAID TALKING ABOUT PRINCESS KATE, THEY SAID SHE IS A REMARKABLE AND I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE HER A BIT OF PRIVACY AT THE MOMENT. SHE’S RECOVERING AN OPERATION AND I THINK WE SHOULD RESPECT HER PRIVACY.

BUT IT’S SO INTERESTING AND YOU MENTIONED THAT VIDEO. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS EVERYWHERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW. AND WHILE IT HAS QUIETED SOME, IT’S ONLY FUELING OTHER CONSPIRACY THEORIES WHICH NO DAY. AND ACTUALLY THE ONE THE PERSON WHO TOOK THAT PHOTO TOOK THAT VIDEO. I SPOKE WITH THE SON AND SHE

TOLD THEM SHE THOUGHT THAT WILL AND KATE SEEMED LIKE JUST A NORMAL COUPLE AND THAT ALL THESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES WERE NONSENSE. NOW PRINCE WILLIAM IS BACK TO ROYAL DUTIES TODAY, APPEARING AT A HOMELESS SHELTER IN NORTHERN ENGLAND. HE HASN’T PUBLICLY COMMENTED ON HIS WIFE’S HEALTH. >> SO HOW ARE PEOPLE IN

THE U.K. REACTING TO THIS WHOLE THING? >> YEAH, WELL, WE SAW HIM UP IN NORTHERN ENGLAND AND HE WAS REALLY HAVE A WARM RESPONSE. HE WAS UP THERE WORKING WITH HOMELESS CHARITIES. AND I THINK IT’S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PRINCE WILLIAM IS REALLY TRYING TO KEEP WORKING, EVEN

DESPITE ALL OF THE CHAOS SURROUNDING HIM NOW. I MEAN, YOU CAN’T IGNORE THE FACT THAT HE’S GOING ON THESE ROYAL DUTIES IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE THEORIES AND CONTROVERSIES. HE HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT HIS WIFE’S HEALTH IN THE PAST EVERY TIME HE’S ASKED AND HE GIVES NO COMMENT.

AND THAT’S SORT OF THE REFRAIN WE’RE SEEING FROM THE PALACE. YOU KNOW, FROM THE BEGINNING, THEY ASKED FOR PRIVACY AND THEY SAID WILL NOT BE SEEING PRINCESS KATE IN ANY OFFICIAL CAPACITY UNTIL AFTER EASTER. THEY FOLLOWED UP. THEY KEEP REPEATING THIS LINE. THEY ARE REALLY STICKING TO IT.

SO WE DON’T REALLY THINK THE PALACE GOING TO BUDGE. BUT THE FACT THAT THESE VIDEOS ARE OUT ON THAT THEY’RE BEING SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GETTING A GLIMPSE INTO THEIR LIFE. THE BIG QUESTION, WILL THIS CALM DOWN CONSPIRACY THEORIES? I MEAN, YOU’RE ONLINE ONLINE, DIANE.

I DON’T, I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE THEY’RE CALMING DOWN ANY TIME SOON, UNFORTUNATELY. >> YEAH. NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI. THANKS, MAGGIE AND ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. VICTORIA, THE PALACE HAS BEEN SO QUIET ABOUT KATE’S SINCE THAT PHOTO EDITING SCANDAL

AND THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES STARTED CIRCULATING ONLINE. WHAT’S THE STRATEGY HERE? WHY NOT JUST HAVE HER COME OUT AND SAY SOMETHING? >> WELL, THAT’S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION. AND I THINK THIS REALLY ABOUT WILLIAM AND KATE’S WISHES AND ABOUT HER NEEDS. AND I DO THINK THAT THEY ARE IN

THE DRIVING SEAT HERE AND OVER THE HOW THIS IS PLAYING OUT, EVEN WITH THEIR MOST SENIOR AIDES THERE STILL THAT POWER DYNAMIC BECAUSE OF THE POSITIONS THAT THEY HOLD. AND I THINK FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS ABOUT STICKING TO THAT ORIGINAL PLAN, STICKING TO WHAT THEY ALWAYS

SAID THEY WOULD DO, WHICH WAS THAT SHE TIME TO RECOVER AND THAT SHE WOULDN’T APPEAR UNTIL AFTER EASTER. AND WE ARE NOT AT EASTER NOW. SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY MIGHT NOT THINK THAT ANYTHING NEEDED TO CHANGE, BUT THAT’S A RELEASE OF THAT MOTHER’S DAY PICTURE,

DIANE WAS A VERY PIVOTAL MOMENT BECAUSE OF COURSE, THE QUESTIONS AROUND ITS CREDIBILITY SAW AN ESCALATION, CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND ALSO SERIOUS DEBATES AROUND TRUST. SO I THINK THERE IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS THE TIME TO PIVOT. AND AS YOU SAY RELEASE

A DIFFERENT PICTURE OR A VIDEO THAT DIDN’T A QUESTION MARK OVER ITS HEAD. BUT, YOU KNOW, I’VE COVERED WILLIAM AND KATE FOR VERY LONG TIME. AND ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO NOT TEND TO GO FOR THESE KNEE REACTIONS. THEY DON’T REALLY TEND TO BE TOO REACTIVE.

THEY DO TRY PLAY THE LONG TERM GAME. AND KATE IN PARTICULAR HAS A VERY COOL HEAD AND A VERY LONG TERM VIEW. AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE. I THINK WE’RE JUST SEEING THIS DETERMINATION TO STICK TO THEIR ORIGINAL STRATEGY AND BE VERY CALM ABOUT IT DESPITE THE HYSTERIA THAT’S GOING

ON EVERYWHERE ELSE. NOW THERE’S THIS OTHER DIGITALLY ENHANCED PHOTO SAID TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY KATE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS PHOTO AND HOW BIG IS THIS ISSUE FOR THE PALACE. >> I THINK THIS IS VERY SAD, THEY SAY, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST IMAGES TAKEN

OF QUEEN ELIZABETH AND IT REALLY WAS RELEASED TO THE VERY ICONIC IMAGE OF HER WITH SOME OF HER GRANDCHILDREN AND, GREAT GRANDCHILDREN. AND IT’S A MATTER, THEREFORE, OF HISTORICAL RECORD. AND NOW, THERE IS THIS BIG QUESTION MARK OVER THE HEAD OF THAT PHOTOGRAPH. REALLY, THIS JUST KIND OF ADDS

TO THE ISSUE THAT KENSINGTON PALACE OF THEM BEING QUESTIONED AS A CREDIBLE SOURCE AND THE TRUST OF THE INFORMATION AND PICTURES THAT THEY PUT OUT BEING QUESTIONED. AND THAT IS PROBLEM FOR THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE AN INSTITUTION THAT SITS AT THE TOP OF, OUR SOCIETY AND WHO WE HOLD

TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. >> SO I THINK THE TRICKY THING IS THAT I DON’T THINK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT BIG IDEAS. AND KATE HAS ACTUALLY PUT HER HANDS UP AND SAID, YES, I SOME OF THE IMAGES, SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE JUST DO NOT KNOW NOW

WHAT HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT THESE IMAGES. AND IT’S VERY SAD THAT THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH HAS NOW BEEN DRAWN, THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CREDIBILITY. >> MEANWHILE, CHARLES HAS SEEMINGLY BEEN MORE OPEN WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT HIS CONDITION AS HE BATTLES CANCER. >> WHY THE DIFFERENCE? I THINK KING CHARLES IS HEAD

OF STATE, AND THAT’S A VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION. >> THERE IS NO EXPECTATION ON HIM BECAUSE HE HAS A CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION WITHIN HIS SOCIETY AND THEREFORE HOW HE IS DOING IS MUCH MORE A MATTER FOR GOVERNMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAN HOW THE PRINCESS OF WALES IS DOING. I ALSO THINK SOMETIMES I WONDER

THERE IS THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE. YOU KNOW, HE’S TOLD US THAT HE HAS CANCER, BUT HE HASN’T SAID WHAT TYPE. WE DON’T KNOW DETAILS OF HIS TREATMENT. KATE HAS TOLD THAT SHE HAS HAD ABDOMINAL SURGERY, BUT SHE HASN’T SAID WHAT TYPE. >> SO IS THE DIFFERENCE REALLY SO GREAT?

BUT I THINK WHERE THAT HAS BEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT HE HAS BEEN MORE VISIBLE THROUGHOUT. HE HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED BY MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS. THERE HAVEN’T BEEN QUESTION MARKS OVER THE VIDEOS, PICTURES THAT WE HAVE SEEN OF HIM. SO THERE HADN’T BEEN THAT VACUUM IN THAT HOUSE WITH KATE.

>> SO BIG PICTURE, HOW HIGH ARE THE STAKES FOR THE PALACE WITH THIS TRUST ISSUE? OR IS THIS THE KIND OF THING WHERE IF EASTER COMES AND KATE COMES OUT AS PROMISED, THIS WILL ALL GO AWAY? >> I THINK IN THE SHORT TERM, THIS DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE GOTTEN VERY OUT OF CONTROL.

WHEN WE SEE HER I THINK MAYBE IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT THAT LONG TERM VIEW THAT BECAME WAY MORE CLEARLY PEAKING PROVES TO BE THE RIGHT ONE. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS ROYAL CONTRIBUTOR VICTORIA MURPHY. THANK YOU. >> AND TO LITTLE WILLIS DAUGHTER OF DEMI MOORE AND BRUCE WILLIS IS OPENING UP

ABOUT BEING DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. TALLULAH SAYS THE DIAGNOSIS HAS CHANGED HER LIFE AND IS POINTING TO SIGNS IN A CHILDHOOD VIDEO. >> ERIELLE RESHEF HAS MORE. BRUCE WILLIS AND DEMI MOORE’S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, TALLULAH, REVEALING THE AUTISM DIAGNOSIS SHE RECEIVED LAST SUMMER THAT SHE SAYS CHANGED HER LIFE.

THE 30 YEAR OLD POSTING THIS 24 RED CARPET VIDEO TO INSTAGRAM PAGE FRIDAY, SHOWING HER REPEATEDLY RUBBING HER FATHER’S AND PLAYING WITH HIS EAR ALONG WITH THE CAPTION, TELL ME YOUR AUTISTIC WITHOUT TELLING ME YOUR AUTISTIC. TALLULAH RESPONDING TO A COMMENT ON THE POST SAYING IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER

PUBLICLY SHARED MY DIAGNOSIS. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, AN ESTIMATED 5.4 MILLION ADULTS IN THE US HAVE AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER OR ASD, A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY CAUSED BY DIFFERENCES IN THE BRAIN. PEOPLE WITH ASD OFTEN WITH SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION AND HAVE RESTRICTED REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS OR INTERESTS. >> AUTISM IS PERVASIVE, SO

IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE EVEN IN THE MANY CASES OF ADULT DIAGNOSES WITH AUTISM. SYMPTOMS TO BE PRESENT EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT. >> MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY. WILLIS’S BEHAVIOR IN THAT VIDEO IS NOT A GUARANTEED ILLUSTRATION OF AN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS, NOTING THAT CHILDREN SOMETIMES RUB THEIR FACES IN REPETITIVE WAYS.

>> A COMPREHENSIVE, FOCUSED EVALUATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE FOR KIDS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF ADULTS WHERE THEY’RE PRESENTATIONS MAY BE MORE COMPLEX. WILLIS HAS BEEN OPEN ABOUT HER STRUGGLES WITH ANOREXIA AND BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER. I SPOKE WITH WILLIS DURING THE PANDEMIC ABOUT HER MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY.

>> SHE LAUNCHED A FASHION LINE. MY WORK HAS COME TO BE THIS REALLY EMPOWERING ELEMENT IN MY LIFE. >> PREVIOUSLY WAS IN LOW, IN MY DEPRESSION AND IN MY ANXIETY AND HEALTH, AND I DIDN’T HAVE A VESSEL TO REALLY CHANNEL THAT INTO ERIELLE RESHEF THANK YOU AND EXPERTS TELL US THE

SYMPTOMS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS ON THE SPECTRUM ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT MAY MANIFEST DIFFERENTLY GIVEN A PERSON’S DEVELOPMENT. THOSE CAN INCLUDE AVOIDING EYE CONTACT, REPETITIVE BEHAVIOR AND CHALLENGES WITH COMMUNICATION OR INTERACTIONS. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY FIT THAT CRITERIA, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. >> COMING UP, MIKE TYSON IS GEARING UP FOR HIS FIRST

YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE WITH FORMER TRUMP ADVISER BARS PETER NAVARRO DEFIANT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS. FINAL WORDS BEFORE BEING CARTED OFF TO PRISON. THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, A DESPERATE NEED FOR FOOD, FUEL AND MEDICAL AID, A DEEPENING CONFLICT AS ISRAEL

NOW PREPS FOR A PLANNED OFFENSIVE. WHY THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS AN ATTACK WOULD BE A MISTAKE. AND SPRING SPRUNG THE DEEP FREEZE. MOVE IT OUT WITH A WARM UP ON THE HORIZON. THE TSA BRACING FOR A RECORD TRAVEL SEASON AS WELL. OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM TRACKING IT ALL THIS HOUR.

GOOD AFTERNOON. >> I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, A MOMENT NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE . THE FIRST A FORMER TRUMP ADVISER REPORTING TO PRISON FOR HIS ROLE IN THAT DEADLY INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL TODAY. PETER NAVARRO TURNING HIMSELF IN TO A FEDERAL CORRECTIONS FACILITY IN MIAMI. I’LL NOW SPEND FOUR MONTHS

BEHIND BARS FOR DEFYING THAT SUBPOENA FROM NOW DEFUNCT HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE. OF COURSE, TOMORROW SLAMMING THE SENTENCE, SAYING THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS. >> I AM NOT NERVOUS. I’VE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM AND HE

HE LOOK, THEY CAN PUT ME IN PRISON. THEY CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS. THEY ARE COMING AFTER TRUMP WITH THE SAME TACTICS, TOOLS AND STRATEGIES THEY USED TO PUT ME OVER THERE TODAY. >> SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS IS ON

THE STORY SO NAVARRO IS NOW IN PRISON. HE AND TRUMP WERE TIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE THIS. WELL, SURE, IT’S HUGELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, HE BECOMES THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO REPORT TO PRISON FROM ACTIONS THAT WERE RELATED TO JANUARY SIX. OF COURSE, THIS WAS RELATED,

THE JANUARY SIX CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. AND DEFYING A SUBPOENA. SO HE WILL OBVIOUSLY SERVE FOUR MONTHS THERE. AND LOOK, IT’S HE’S NOW THERE. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE BEFORE 2:00 TODAY. YOU HEARD HIM GIVE THOSE REMARKS. I THINK IT’S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT HE IS BLAMING DEMOCRATS. HE’S SAYING THIS IS POLITICALLY

MOTIVATED. BUT IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF HIS OWN PEERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.. THE JUDGE OVERSEEING THIS DIDN’T FIND ANY MISCONDUCT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT. SO THIS IS A TALKING POINT THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM TRUMP ALLIES, FORMER TRUMP ALLIES, AS WE WATCH

SOME OF THESE CASES, PROGRESS. SO WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE PRISON? AND DO YOU THINK HE’LL REALLY SERVE FOR MONTHS? IT’S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON’T THINK THAT HE WILL SERVE ALL FOUR MONTHS. HE PROBABLY WILL GET OUT EARLIER THAN. THAT EARNED CREDIT FOR GOOD TIME.

THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A REDUCTION THE TIME HE SERVES. BUT IN TERMS OF IT, YOU COULD SEE THE AERIAL SHOT THERE, THE IN MIAMI OF THE OF THE PRISON. IT’S A PRISON CAMP THAT HOUSES 200 INMATES. NAVARRO WILL BE FREE TO WALK AROUND GROUNDS DURING THE DAY.

A LOT OF THE INMATES DO A LOT OF THE MAINTENANCE AROUND THE JAIL, FOR EXAMPLE. SO THAT’S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE HE WILL BE. BUT TO YOUR POINT, IT LIKELY WON’T SERVE ALL OF THOSE FOUR MONTHS KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS THANKS SO MUCH. SO ISRAELI MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU IS SENDING REPS TO WASHINGTON NOW FOLLOWING. PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC WARNING YET, URGING ISRAEL TO DELAY THOSE PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS WITH NO HOME OR ANY OTHER PLACE TO ARE CURRENTLY SHELTERING THERE,

FLEEING, FIGHTING IN THE NORTH. NOW, A MEETING BETWEEN AMERICAN ISRAELI LEADERS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT HAS EVERY EXPECTATION NO MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION WILL HAPPEN IN RAFAH. OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN IS THERE ON THE GROUND IN JERUSALEM.

>> SO, MATT TALKS MORE TALKS, BUT CLEARLY THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ACTION. SO WHAT CAN HAPPEN AMONG THESE ISRAELI LEADERS COMING TO WASHINGTON THAT CAN’T JUST HAPPEN NOW AS FAMILIES CONTINUE TO STARVE IN GAZA. IT’S UNCLEAR. THINK WHAT THE U.S. IS GOING TO POINT OUT TO THIS

ISRAELI DELEGATION IS MAYBE SOME HUMANITARIAN CONCEPTS OR PILOT IDEAS THAT THEY HAVEN’T YET THOUGHT OF. I THINK ALSO THERE IS A AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT IS STARTING TO BE FELT BY THE HIGHER OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO SOLVE THIS HUMANITARIAN THAT ISRAEL STILL SAYS, BY THE WAY, OFFICIALLY THAT THERE

IS NO STARVATION GAZA. SO THEY DISPUTE WITH THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM, WITH THE U.N. WHAT THE IS NOW SAYING IS PRETTY EVIDENT THAT FAMINE HAS EITHER STARTED OR IS ABOUT TO START WITHIN DAYS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF GAZA. SO WHAT ISRAEL DOES SAY THAT IT’S DOING IS, IT’S ALLOWING MORE HUMANITARIAN

AID TRUCKS, SPECIFICALLY FOOD, INTO THE GAZA SPECIFICALLY THE NORTH. THEY SAY THEY’RE AVERAGING 150 TRUCKS A DAY. THEY THE PROBLEM ON THE DISTRIBUTION, MOSTLY ON THE U.N. AND OTHER NGOS FOR BEING UNABLE TO ACTUALLY GET THE AID TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE HUNGRIEST.

AND THE U.N. CONCEDES THAT, YES, WE DO HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE MANY OF THESE ROUTES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS CHAOS IN THE STREETS AND WE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING FOOD WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. WHAT’S OBVIOUS IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION AND VERY SOON, KYRA.

SO ISRAEL CONTINUES ITS MILITARY OPERATION IN NORTHERN GAZA THERE AT AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL. IS HAMAS STILL OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL WHERE INNOCENT FAMILIES HAVE BEEN FINDING REFUGE? I DON’T THINK HAMAS IS STILL ACTIVE IN THE HOSPITAL. ISRAEL HAS SURROUNDED THE HOSPITAL WAS A BRIGADE LEVEL OPERATION. IT TURNED INTO A BATTLE AT ONE

POINT. ISRAEL HAS MADE OVER 200 ARRESTS. THERE WERE 20 SUSPECTED MILITANTS WERE KILLED. I THINK THAT PART OF THE OPERATION IS OVER. THEY’RE STILL COMBING THROUGH THE HOSPITAL TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY HAMAS ELEMENTS LEFT THERE. BUT I THINK WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THAT HAMAS HAS BEEN ABLE

TO REGROUP IN THE AREA THAT ISRAEL THAT IT HAD MOST CLEARED OF HAMAS ELEMENTS AND IT SHOWS THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY REGROUP IN A WAY THAT PARTS OF ISRAEL PERHAPS DID NOT EXPECT AND QUICKER, MORE QUICKLY, I THINK, THAN ISRAEL HAD EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN KYRA. SO WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW

ABOUT THE TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S BEING BUILT THERE TO BRING IN ALL THIS EMERGENCY AID? HOW WILL ISRAEL BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF U.S. TROOPS WORKING ON THAT AND FACILITATING THAT PROJECT? AND HOW SOON COULD WE SEE AID COMING IN? WELL, OBVIOUSLY, THAT’S A MAJOR CONCERN HERE, BECAUSE IF HAS

TO REFIGHT THE BATTLES THAT IT THOUGHT IT HAD WON FOUR MONTHS AGO IN NOVEMBER BY CLEARING OUT THIS SAME HOSPITAL SHIP OF THE LARGEST IN GAZA, THEN HOW COULD IT ACTUALLY GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF U.S. TROOPS ARE GOING TO BE JUST A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET SHORE STARTING IN ABOUT 60 DAYS.

THAT REMAINS. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THE U.S. IS SENDING TWO SHIPS WITH ESSENTIALLY A PORTABLE PIECES OF A MAKESHIFT PIER, AND IT’S GOING TO BE ABOUT 1800 FEET LONG. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE SORT OF DEEP WATER PORT THAT A MASSIVE AMOUNT

OF AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN. BUT AGAIN, THAT’S 60 DAYS AWAY. AND BY THE TIME THE ACTUAL AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN WE’RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT TWO MONTHS FROM NOW, WHICH IS TOO LONG FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING RIGHT NOW KYRA. ALL RIGHT, MATT GUTMAN FOR,

US THERE IN JERUSALEM, APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING. >> WE’LL STAY IN CLOSE TOUCH. THANK YOU. >> STARVATION IS STALKING GAZA’S. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CAN’T GET A MEAL. ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE HUNGRY AND THAT THE DEVASTATION THEY SEE AROUND THEM HURTS,

HURTS THEIR TUMMIES, HURTS THEIR MOMS AND DADS AND THEY DON’T FEEL SAFE. THIS IS THE HUMAN SIDE OF THIS WAR IN GAZA. AND IT’S ALL SUPPORTED IN A NEW REPORT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS THAT’S NOW FAMINE IS IMMINENT IN NORTHERN GAZA AND THAT MORE THAN 200,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING CATASTROPHIC HUNGER.

>> AND IT IS TIMES LIKE THIS WE ALWAYS FIND. JAMES ELDER HAS MADE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE REGION SINCE THE START OF THIS WAR, AND HE’S BEEN DOCUMENTING IT FOR US LIKE THIS. >> HEADING BACK INTO GAZA NOW. OUTRAGEOUS. HOW MANY LIVES SUPPLIES ARE SO DESPERATELY CLOSE TO THOSE WHO NEED FOOD, WATER,

MEDICINES, LIFESAVING SUPPLIES . WE KNOW JUST ACROSS THE BORDER, CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF MALNUTRITION. CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF DEHYDRATION. ARE THE SUPPLIES THAT SO URGENTLY NEEDED TO GET ACROSS TO THE CIVILIANS OF GAZA? >> WOW. JAMES JOINS ME NOW FROM RAFAH RIGHT THERE IN THE GAZA STRIP.

A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET BEHIND YOU, BUT DEFINITELY NOT A BEAUTIFUL SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED US. JAMES, WHAT I KNOW YOU TALKED TO THOSE BRINGING THE TRUCKS IN. WHAT WERE ON THOSE TRUCKS? >> HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WERE BACKED UP THERE? WELL, HUNDREDS. THERE’S NO DOUBT. HUNDREDS.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT THE PEOPLE HERE SO DESPERATELY NEED. >> FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, BUT ALSO WATER AND MEDICINES. THESE ARE THESE ARE THE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIALS THAT ARE JUST SO DESPERATELY LACKING HERE. I MEAN, I AM HERE IN RAFAH. IT’S NOT WHEN YOU WALK OUT, IT’S HARD TO WALK. NOW.

SUCH IS THE THE DENSITY OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS, PEOPLE IN TENTS. IT’S COLD. IT’S BEEN RAINING AND, YOU KNOW, DRONES ABOVE THEM ALL THE TIME. THEY KNOW DRONES WILL DROP BOMBS. THIS TRAUMA UPON TRAUMA FOR PEOPLE. >> AND. ALL RIGHT. TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN

WITH REGARD TO THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES BEING ABLE TO GET FOOD. AND NOW WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STARVATION WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FAMINE. I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT WE HAD INTERVIEW WITH AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SAYING NOW THERE’S THERE’S NO STARVATION GOING ON. TELL US WHAT YOU’RE SEEING.

I KNOW IT’S — IT’S IT’S SOMETHING VERY, VERY PIECE BY PIECE IS ONE SORT OF SOUL, IF YOU WILL, CAROL. AND LOOK, TODAY, NOT ONCE, THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES, WOMEN MOMS WOULD HOLD MY HAND AND JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING FOR FOOD AND WATER. PARTICULARLY ASKED, PLEASE TELL

THE WORLD WHAT’S HAPPENING TO US THERE. THEY’RE AFRAID THAT THEY THAT THEIR VOICES ARE NOT BEING HEARD. I THINK THEY ARE. I DON’T THINK THE RIGHT DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE. THERE’S A FEAR ON THE GROUND, KYRA, BECAUSE OF DISEASE AND A LACK OF FOOD AND, THERE’S ALWAYS A CONSTANT THREAT FROM

THE SKIES. YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF THE SKIES, THE U.S. HAS CONDUCTED THESE AIR DROPS OF AID FOOD INTO GAZA. NOW THERE’S THE OF THIS TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S BEING BUILT TO BRING IN FOOD, SUPPLIES, WHATEVER IS NEEDED, YOU KNOW, BY WATER INTO AREA. IS THAT MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT ALL BEACH?

IS ANY AID ANY AID, OF COURSE. >> BUT WE HAVE BE REALLY CLEAR. >> OTHERWISE, IT IS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION. AND THEN IT’S MAKING A NEGATIVE DIFFERENCE TO THE SHIP. RIGHT. BUT THAT WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF AROUND 12 OR 13 TRUCKS. AND AS WE SAY ON OUR PAST HUNDREDS YESTERDAY.

>> SO IT REMAINS VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO AVOID MORE CHILDREN DYING BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION, THEY ARE DYING OF DEHYDRATION, HORRENDOUS WAYS FOR OUR CHILD TO DIE. >> THE ONLY WAY IS TO GET THAT AID THROUGH ON THE ROADS.

AND IT EXISTS THE AID IS A FEW MILES FROM HERE, KYRA. THERE ARE MANY, MANY ENTRANCE POINTS THAT THE OCCUPYING POWER WITH A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE POPULATION HAS SAFETY, TO ENSURE THERE NO FAMINE. WE ARE READY TO DELIVER THAT AID IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. >> JUST SEEING THESE KIDS

WITH THEIR BOWLS WAITING THERE THROUGH THE THE METAL FENCE TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT, IT’S JUST HEART WRENCHING, ESPECIALLY AS A MOM. >> JAMES, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU’RE THERE IN RAFAH. >> ISRAEL IS SAID TO BE PREPARING YET ANOTHER LAUNCH AND, ANOTHER OFFENSIVE THERE. DESPITE INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY.

>> THERE’S MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS SHELTERING THERE IN RAFAH TRYING TO FLEE THE FIGHTING. >> CAN THEY, THOUGH? AND TELL ME WHAT UNICEF IS RIGHT NOW TO JUST PREPARE FOR ALL THIS. >> YOU KNOW, SO I GLANCED AT THOSE IMAGES, TOO. AND THEN THEY ARE EVERYWHERE HERE. >> AND YOU’RE RIGHT.

I MEAN, UNLESS YOU’RE YOU’RE A DOCTOR HERE, THERE IS A GREAT TRAGEDY, A GREAT SENSE OF FUTILITY TO. HAVE THE SMALLEST CHILDREN JUST. JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING. AND AGAIN, YOU. IT’S SO CLOSE. THIS IS THE DESPERATION. THESE LITTLE CHILDREN ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW. RAFAH, AS YOU RIGHTLY SAY, HAS

MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE. >> RAFAH IS A CITY OF CHILDREN REPORT THAT HAS TWICE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT NO RISE AS EVERYONE IS LITERALLY ON THE GROUND. NO IS NO WAY IS SAFE. WE’VE SEEN THAT I’VE NEVER SEEN IN MY TWO DECADES WITH THE UNITED NATIONS.

I’VE NEVER SEEN THE DEVASTATION THAT I SAW IN NEIGHBORING KHAN YUNIS TODAY. >> THEY CAN’T GO NORTH. THEY TWO THIRDS OR MORE NOW, I GUESS, OF HOMES ARE BEING DESTROYED. >> THERE’S NOTHING TO RETURN TO. SO THE IDEA THAT THE PEOPLE COULD BE MOVED FROM A TO B, THEY HAVE MOVED.

>> THEY’VE THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. >> THEY HAVE TAKEN THE AUTHORITIES WORD TO MOVE AND KEEP MOVING TO A SAFE ZONE. NOW THEY UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOWHERE SAFE AND OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. ILLICIT OF CHILDREN WHERE NOW MORE THAN HALF OF GAZA’S POPULATION IS HIDING. >> FLEEING? NO, THAT’S THAT’S THAT’S

APOCALYPTIC. I, I THINK EVERYONE IS TERRIFIED BUT REALISTIC THAT THIS SOMEHOW MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. >> WELL, YOU HAVE POWER WITH YOUR INTERVIEWS, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR YOUR CELL PHONE AND SHOWING THE IMAGES THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH US. PLEASE KEEP DOING THAT FOR US. JAMES ELDER.

WE ADMIRE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND OF COURSE, WHAT ALWAYS DOES IN COUNTRIESO MUCH, CAROL SO WHO COULD EVER FORGET THOSE AFGHAN PEOPLE CLINGING TO U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FLEE THEIR COUNTRY? WHEN WORD GOT OUT THAT U.S. WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN? THE TALIBAN AGAIN GAINING, RULE

AT THAT POINT. WE EVEN LOST. U.S. TROOPS GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED IN THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST BOMBING. NOW, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS TESTIFYING ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY AND CHAOTIC MILITARY WITHDRAWAL THAT COUNTRY BACK IN AUGUST OF 2021. THIS WILL BE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY

FORMALLY SINCE RETIRING AT THE END OF LAST THIS PAST SEPTEMBER. AND THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF TOLD ABC NEWS THAT WERE DROPPED THAT WITHDRAWAL, RATHER, WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE . AND HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS. LET’S BRING IN OUR JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE. SO JAY DIDN’T REALLY TALK

ABOUT THOSE REGRETS AS HE TESTIFIED ON THIS AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT AND ALSO WHAT WAS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY. BUT BEFORE THE LAST, YOU KNOW, VERSUS THE OTHER TIMES, HE’S TALKED ABOUT THIS? >> WELL, WE’RE WAITING TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, GOING TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND OR RATHER, HE’S GOING

TO SIT IN THE WITNESS OF THIS HEARING ROOM ANY MINUTE FROM NOW. >> WHY TODAY? TO YOUR POINT, THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WHEN THEY TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN JANUARY OF 2023. THEY SAID THEY’RE INVESTIGATING THE WITHDRAWAL WAS A PRIORITY

OF THEIRS AND NOW IT’S GONE DOWN THE LIST OF HOUSE GOP PRIORITIES, AT LEAST THAT THEY TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY SINCE THEN. BUT THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BREWING IN THE BACKGROUND. THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HAS EVEN HAD A VERY TENSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THREATENING AT ONE POINT TO HOLD

THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS BECAUSE THEY WANTED DOCUMENTS FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT. THEY NOW APPARENTLY HAVE AN AGREEMENT FROM STATE TO GET. SO THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. MILLEY’S TESTIMONY HERE IS ONE ELEMENT OF IT. >> SO CAN WE EXPECT NEWSWORTHY

TO COME OUT OF TODAY’S TESTIMONY, YOU THINK? >> WELL, IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE IT MILLEY HAS SAID ON THE RECORD TO OUR OWN MARTHA RADDATZ THAT HE HAS REGRETS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN. AND SO YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS HEARING THAT HE WILL COME CONSISTENTLY BACK TO THAT LINE.

WHAT WE KNOW HOUSE REPUBLICANS WANT DO WHAT THEY HAVE TELEGRAPHED THAT THEY’RE INTERESTED IN DOING IS TRYING DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THOSE REGRETS THAT MILLEY HAS PUBLICLY EXPRESSED ABOUT HOW ALL THIS TRANSPIRED AND WHAT THEY SAY. HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY WERE FAILURES OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THAT HAS BEEN THEIR STATED GOAL

THROUGH THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION. IT REALLY IS WHAT HANGS OVER THESE PROCEEDINGS JAY O’BRIEN UP ON THE HILL FOR C.J. THANKS. >> WE’LL TRACK IT WITH YOU. COMING UP. YOU BOOKED YOUR TICKET, YOU PACK YOUR BAGS, YOU’RE READY TO GO. THE BUSIEST TRAVEL SEASON IN HISTORY IS GOING TO IMPACT

SEASON IN HISTORY. THE TSA ANTICIPATING MORE THAN 7047 MILLION PASSENGERS WILL TRAVEL OVER THE SEVERAL WEEKS. THAT’S A 6% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR. THAT NEWS COMING AS GAS PRICES ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE RISE AS WELL. TRIPLE A REPORTING THE NATIONAL AVERAGE PRICE FOR REGULAR WELL CLIMB TO 3.48 A GALLON

NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS, AT LEAST SO FAR, THE AIRLINES, THE TSA LINES, THEY DO SEEM TO BE KEEPING PACE. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING FOR THEIR SPRING BREAK TRAVELS. TYPICALLY, THAT RISE IN DEMAND DOES ALSO COINCIDE WITH A RISE IN GAS PRICES.

WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THAT AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OVER THE PAST. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF GAS IS UP ABOUT $0.20 THIS MORNING. TODAY, IT’S $3.48 A GALLON. SO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IN TRIPOLI IS EXPECTED TO CLIMB AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF THE WARMER

OF THE CAMERAS, HIS FINAL WORDS BEFORE BEING CARTED OFF TO PRISON. THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, A DESPERATE NEED FOR FOOD FUEL AND MEDICAL AID AMID A DEEPENING CONFLICT AS ISRAEL NOW PREPS FOR A PLANNED OFFENSIVE. WHY THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS AN ATTACK WOULD BE A MISTAKE.

AND SPRING HAS SPRUNG THE DEEP FREEZE. MOVE IT OUT WITH A WARM ON THE HORIZON. THE TSA BRACING FOR A RECORD TRAVEL SEASON AS WELL. OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM TRACKING IT ALL THIS HOUR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, A MOMENT WITNESSED BEFORE. THE FIRST A FORMER

TRUMP ADVISER REPORTING TO PRISON FOR HIS ROLE IN THAT DEADLY INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL TODAY, PETER NAVARRO TURNING HIMSELF IN TO A FEDERAL CORRECTIONS FACILITY. MIAMI NOW SPEND FOUR MONTHS BEHIND BARS FOR DEFYING THAT SUBPOENA FROM THE NOW DEFUNCT HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE. OF COURSE, NAVARRO SLAMMING THE SENTENCE, SAYING THIS IS AN

UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS. >> I AM NOT NERVOUS. I’VE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM. AND HE HE UNDER LOOK, THEY THEY CAN PUT ME IN PRISON. THEY CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT.

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS ,THEY ARE COMING AFTER DONALD TRUMP WITH THE SAME TACTICS, TOOLS AND STRATEGIES THEY USED TO PUT ME OVER THERE TODAY. >> SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS IS ON THE STORY. >> SO NAVARRO IS NOW IN PRISON. HE AND TRUMP WERE TIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE

SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS. WELL, SURE, IT’S HUGELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, HE BECOMES THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO REPORT TO PRISON. FROM ACTIONS THAT WERE RELATED TO JANUARY SIX. OF COURSE, THIS WAS RELATED TO THE JANUARY 6 CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. AND DEFYING A SUBPOENA. SO HE WILL OBVIOUSLY SERVE

FOUR MONTHS THERE AND LOOK, IT’S HE’S NOW THERE. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE BEFORE 2:00 TODAY. YOU HEARD HIM GIVE THOSE REMARKS. I THINK IT’S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT HE IS BLAMING DEMOCRATS. HE’S SAYING THIS IS POLITICAL MOTIVATED, BUT IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF HIS

PEERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE JUDGE OVERSEEING. THIS DIDN’T FIND ANY MISCONDUCT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT. SO THIS IS A TALKING POINT THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM TRUMP ALLIES, FORMER ALLIES, AS WE WATCH SOME OF THESE CASES PROGRESS. SO WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE PRISON?

AND DO YOU THINK HE’LL REALLY SERVE OUT FOUR MONTHS? IT’S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON’T THINK THAT HE WILL SERVE ALL FOUR MONTHS. HE PROBABLY WILL GET OUT EARLIER THAN THAT, EARNED CREDIT FOR GOOD TIME. AND THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF THE TIME HE SERVES.

BUT IN TERMS OF AND YOU COULD SEE THE AERIAL SHOT THERE, THE THE IN MIAMI OF OF THE PRISON, IT IS A PRISON CAMP THAT HOUSES ROUGHLY 200 INMATES. NAVARRO WILL BE TO WALK AROUND GROUNDS DURING THE DAY. A LOT OF THE INMATES DO A LOT THE MAINTENANCE AROUND THE JAIL, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THAT’S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE HE WILL BE, BUT TO YOUR POINT, LIKELY WON’T SERVE ALL OF THOSE FOUR MONTHS KYRA. ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS. >> SO MUCH. SO ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS SENDING REPS TO WASHINGTON NOW FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC

WARNING YET, URGING ISRAEL TO DELAY THOSE PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS WITH NO HOME OR ANY OTHER PLACE TO GO ARE CURRENTLY SHELTERING THERE, FLEEING FIGHTING IN THE NORTH. NOW, A MEETING BETWEEN AMERICAN ISRAELI LEADERS

WILL TAKE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT EVERY EXPECTATION THAT NO MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION HAPPEN IN RAFAH. OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, MATT GUTMAN IS THERE ON THE GROUND IN JERUSALEM. >> SO, MATT, TALKS, TALKS MORE TALKS, BUT CLEARLY THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ACTION.

SO WHAT CAN HAPPEN AMONG THESE ISRAELI COMING TO WASHINGTON THAT CAN’T JUST HAPPEN NOW AS CONTINUE TO STARVE IN GAZA? IT’S UNCLEAR. I THINK WHAT THE U.S. IS GOING TO POINT TO THIS ISRAELI DELEGATION IS MAYBE SOME HUMANITARIAN CONCEPTS OR PILOT IDEAS THAT THEY HAVEN’T YET THOUGHT OF.

I THINK ALSO THERE IS A MOUNTING AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS STARTING TO BE FELT BY THE HIGHER ECHELONS OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO SOLVE THIS HUMANITARIAN ISSUE, THAT ISRAEL STILL, BY THE WAY, OFFICIALLY THAT THERE IS NO STARVATION IN GAZA. SO THEY DISPUTE THE WORLD FOOD

PROGRAM WITH THE U.N. WHAT THE U.S. IS NOW SAYING IS PRETTY EVIDENT THAT FAMINE HAS EITHER STARTED ALREADY OR IS ABOUT TO START WITHIN DAYS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF GAZA. SO WHAT DOES SAY THAT IT’S DOING IS IT’S ALLOWING MORE HUMANITARIAN AID TRUCKS, SPECIFICALLY FOOD, INTO THE GAZA, SPECIFICALLY THE NORTH.

THEY THEY’RE AVERAGING 150 TRUCKS A DAY. THEY BLAME THE PROBLEM ON THE DISTRIBUTION, SHIPPING MOSTLY ON THE U.N. AND OTHER NGOS FOR BEING UNABLE TO ACTUALLY GET THE AID TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO THE HUNGRIEST. AND THE U.N. CONCEDES THAT, YES, WE DO HAVE PROBLEM BECAUSE

MANY OF THESE ROUTES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS CHAOS IN THE STREETS. AND WE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THIS FOOD WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO . WHAT’S IT OBVIOUS IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION. AND VERY SOON, KYRA SO ISRAEL CONTINUES ITS MILITARY OPERATION IN NORTHERN THERE AT AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL.

IS HAMAS STILL OPERATING THAT HOSPITAL WHERE INNOCENT FAMILIES HAVE BEEN FINDING REFUGE? I DON’T THINK HAMAS IS STILL ACTIVE. THE HOSPITAL. ISRAEL HAS SURROUNDED THE HOSPITAL. THIS WAS A BRIGADE LEVEL OPERATION. IT TURNED INTO A GUN BATTLE AT ONE POINT. ISRAEL HAS MADE OVER 200 ARRESTS. THERE WERE 20 SUSPECTED

MILITANTS WHO WERE KILLED. I THINK PART OF THE OPERATION IS OVER. THEY’RE STILL COMBING THROUGH THE HOSPITAL TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY HAMAS ELEMENTS LEFT THERE. BUT I THINK WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THAT HAMAS HAS BEEN ABLE TO REGROUP IN THE AREA THAT ISRAEL THOUGHT THAT IT HAD

MOST CLEARED OF HAMAS ELEMENTS. AND IT SHOWS THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY REGROUP IN A WAY THE PAST THAT ISRAEL PERHAPS NOT EXPECT AND QUICKER, MORE QUICKLY, I THINK, THAN ISRAEL HAD EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN KYRA. SO WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S BEING BUILT THERE TO BRING

IN ALL THIS EMERGENCY? HOW WILL ISRAEL BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF U.S. WORKING ON THAT AND FACILITATING THAT PROJECT? AND HOW COULD WE SEE AID COMING IN? OBVIOUSLY, THAT’S A MAJOR CONCERN HERE, BECAUSE IF ISRAEL HAS TO REFIGHT BATTLES THAT IT THOUGHT IT HAD WON FOUR MONTHS AGO IN NOVEMBER

BY CLEARING OUT THIS SAME HOSPITAL, AL-SHIFA, THE LARGEST IN GAZA, THEN HOW CAN IT ACTUALLY GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF U.S. TROOPS ARE GOING TO BE JUST A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET OFFSHORE, STARTING IN ABOUT 60 DAYS? THAT REMAINS UNANSWERED. WHAT WE DO IS THAT THE U.S. IS SENDING TWO SHIPS

WITH ESSENTIALLY A PORTABLE PIECES OF A MAKESHIFT PIER, AND IT’S GOING TO BE ABOUT 1800 FEET LONG. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE SOME SORT OF DEEP WATER PORT THAT A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN. BUT AGAIN, THAT’S 60 DAYS AWAY.

AND BY THE TIME ACTUAL AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN, WE’RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT TWO MONTHS FROM NOW, WHICH IS TOO LONG FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING RIGHT NOW KYRA. RIGHT. >> MATT GUTMAN FOR US THERE IN JERUSALEM, APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING. WE’LL STAY IN CLOSE TOUCH. >> THANK YOU.

STARVATION IS STALKING GAZA’S CHILDREN. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CAN’T GET A MEAL. ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE HUNGRY AND THAT THE DEVASTATION THEY SEE AROUND THEM HURTS, HURTS TUMMIES, HURTS THEIR MOMS AND DADS. AND THEY DON’T FEEL SAFE. IS THE HUMAN SIDE OF THIS WAR

IN GAZA AND IT’S ALL SUPPORTED IN NEW REPORT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS THAT’S NOW WARNING FAMINE IS IN NORTHERN GAZA AND THAT MORE THAN 200,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING CATASTROPHIC HUNGER. AND IT IS TIMES LIKE THIS WE ALWAYS FIND UNICEF. JAMES ELDER, HE MADE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE REGION SINCE

THE START OF THIS WAR, AND HE’S BEEN IT FOR US LIKE THIS. >> HAITI INTO GAZA NOW. OUTRAGEOUS. HOW MANY LIFESAVING SUPPLIES ARE SO DESPERATELY CLOSE TO THOSE NEED THEM FOOD, WATER, MEDICINES, LIFESAVING SUPPLIES ? BECAUSE WE KNOW JUST ACROSS THE BORDER, CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF MALNUTRITION. CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF DEHYDRATION.

THESE ARE THE SUPPLIES THAT SO URGENTLY NEED TO GET ACROSS TO THE CIVILIANS OF GAZA. >> JAMES JOINS ME NOW FROM RAFAH RIGHT THERE IN THE GAZA STRIP. A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET BEHIND YOU, BUT DEFINITELY NOT A BEAUTIFUL SITUATION. WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED US, JAMES. WHAT I KNOW YOU, TALKED

TO THOSE BRINGING THE TRUCKS IN, WHAT WERE ON THOSE TRUCKS. >> HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WERE BACKED UP THERE? >> WELL, CAROL, HUNDREDS. THERE’S NO DOUBT. HUNDREDS. I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT THE PEOPLE HERE SO DESPERATELY NEED FOOD, FOOD, FOOD BUT ALSO WATER AND MEDICINES. THESE ARE THESE ARE THE

ESSENTIALS THAT ARE JUST SO DESPERATELY LACKING HERE. I MEAN, WHERE I AM HERE IN RAFAH, IT’S NOT WHEN YOU WALK OUT, IT’S HARD TO WALK AROUND NOW, SUCH AS THE THE DENSITY OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, PEOPLE IN TENTS. IT’S COLD. IT’S BEEN RAINING. AND, YOU KNOW, DRONES ABOVE

THEM ALL THE TIME. THEY KNOW DRONES DROP BOMBS. THIS TRAUMA UPON TRAUMA FOR PEOPLE HERE. AND ALL RIGHT. TELL US YOU HAVE SEEN WITH REGARD TO THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES BEING ABLE TO GET FOOD. AND NOW WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STARVATION. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FAMINE. I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT.

WE HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SAYING NOW THERE’S NO STARVATION GOING ON. >> TELL US WHAT YOU’RE SEEING. I KNOW IT’S — IT’S IT’S SOMETHING VERY PRETTY PIECE BY PIECE. >> THERE’S ONE SORT OF SOUL, IF YOU WILL, KYRA, WENT UP TODAY,

NOT ONCE THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES, WOMEN MOMS WOULD HOLD HOLD MY HAND AND JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING FOR WATER PARTICULARLY ASKED, PLEASE TELL THE WORLD WHAT’S HAPPENING TO US THERE. THEY’RE AFRAID THAT THEIR VOICES ARE NOT BEING HEARD. I THINK ARE, BUT I DON’T THINK THE RIGHT DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE.

THERE’S A FEAR ON THE GROUND, KYRA, BECAUSE OF DISEASE AND A LACK OF FOOD AND THERE’S ALWAYS A CONSTANT THREAT FROM THE SKIES. YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF SKIES, THE U.S. HAS CONDUCTED THESE AIR DROPS OF AID FOOD INTO GAZA. NOW THERE’S THE OF THIS TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S

BEING BUILT TO BRING IN FOOD, SUPPLIES, WHATEVER IS NEEDED, YOU KNOW, BY WATER INTO THE AREA. IS THAT MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT? >> ALL I THINK. >> IS IT ANY AID? ANY AID, OF COURSE. >> BUT WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CLEAR. OTHERWISE, IT IS A DANGEROUS AND THEN IT’S MAKING A NEGATIVE

DIFFERENCE TO THE SHIP. RIGHT. BUT THAT WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF AROUND 12 OR 13 TRUCKS. AND AS WE SAY, I, I PASSED HUNDREDS YESTERDAY. >> SO IT REMAINS VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO AVOID MORE CHILDREN DYING, BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION, THEY ARE DYING

OF DEHYDRATION FOR, FRIENDLESS WAYS FOR A CHILD TO DIE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THAT AID THROUGH ON THE ROADS AND IN EXISTENCE A FEW MILES FROM HERE ,KYRA, THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER ENTRANCE POINTS THAT THE OCCUPYING POWER WITH A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE POPULATION SAFETY,

TO ENSURE THERE IS NO FAMINE. WE ARE READY TO DELIVER THAT AID IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. >> JUST SEEING THESE KIDS WITH THEIR BOWLS, WETTING THEIR THROUGH THE THE METAL FENCE TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT, IT’S JUST HEART WRENCHING, ESPECIALLY AS A MOM. >> JAMES, AS YOU MENTIONED,

YOU’RE THERE IN RAFAH. ISRAEL IS SAID TO BE PREPARING YET ANOTHER LAUNCH AND ANOTHER OFFENSIVE THERE DESPITE INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY. THERE’S MORE THAN A MILLION PALESTINIANS SHELTERING THERE IN RAFAH TRYING TO FLEE THE FIGHTING. CAN THEY GO AND TELL ME WHAT UNICEF IS DOING RIGHT NOW

TO JUST PREPARE FOR ALL THIS? >> SO I GLANCE AT THOSE IMAGES, TOO, AND THEN THEY ARE EVERYWHERE HERE. AND YOU’RE RIGHT. I MEAN, UNLESS A YOU’RE A DOCTOR HERE, THERE IS A GREAT CAN BE A GREAT SENSE OF FUTILITY TO HAVE THE SMALLEST CHILDREN JUST JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING.

AND AGAIN TO KNOW IT’S STARTED CLOSED. THIS IS THE DESPERATION. THESE LITTLE CHILDREN OUT ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW. >> RAFAH, AS YOU RIGHTLY SAY, HAS MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE. >> RAFAH IS A CITY OF CHILDREN . >> RAFAH HAS TWICE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT HIGH RISE

AS EVERYONE IS LITERALLY ON THE GROUND. NO, THERE IS NO WAY SAY WE’VE SEEN THAT. I’VE NEVER SEEN MY TWO DECADES WITH THE UNITED NATIONS. I’VE NEVER SEEN THE DEVASTATION THAT I SAW IN NEIGHBORING KHAN YUNIS TODAY. THEY CAN’T NORTH. TWO THIRDS OR MORE NOW I GUESS

OF HOMES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. THERE’S NOTHING TO RETURN TO. SO THE IDEA THAT THE PEOPLE COULD BE MOVED FROM A TO B, THEY HAVE MOVED THEY’VE MOVED THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THEY’VE TAKEN THE AUTHORITIES WORD TO MOVE AND KEEP MOVING TO A SAFE ZONE. NOW THEY UNDERSTAND THERE

IS NOWHERE SAFE AND OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH, IN THIS CITY OF CHILDREN, WHERE NOW MORE THAN HALF OF GAZA’S POPULATION IS FIGHTING. FLEEING. NO, THAT’S THAT’S THAT’S I, I THINK EVERYONE IS TERRIFIED BUT REALISTIC THAT THIS SOMEHOW MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. YOU HAVE POWER WITH YOUR INTERVIEWS, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR YOUR PHONE AND SHOWING

US THE IMAGES THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH US. PLEASE DOING THAT FOR US. JAMES ELDER, WE ADMIRE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND OF COURSE, WHAT UNICEF ALWAYS DOES IN COUNTRIES AND CRISES LIKE THIS. APPRECIATE IT, JAMES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CAROL. SO WHO COULD EVER FORGET THOSE

AFGHAN PEOPLE CLINGING TO U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FLEE THEIR COUNTRY? WHEN WORD GOT OUT THAT U.S. TROOPS WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN? THE TALIBAN AGAIN GAINING RULE AT THAT POINT. WE EVEN. U.S. TROOPS GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED.

AND THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST BOMBING. NOW, FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS TESTIFYING ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY CHAOTIC MILITARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THAT COUNTRY BACK IN AUGUST 2021. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FOR MILLEY SINCE RETIRING AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, THIS PAST SEPTEMBER.

AND THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF TOLD ABC NEWS THAT WERE DROP THAT WITHDRAWAL RATHER WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE AND HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS. >> LET’S BRING IN OUR JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE. SO JAY, DID MILLER TALK ABOUT THOSE REGRETS AS HE TESTIFIED ON THIS AFGHANISTAN

PULLOUT AND ALSO WHAT WAS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY BEFORE THE LAST KNOW VERSUS THE OTHER TIMES HE’S TALKED ABOUT THIS? WHAT WE’RE WAITING HEAR EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, KYRA. >> HE’S GOING TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND, RATHER. >> HE’S GOING TO SIT IN THE WITNESS AREA OF THIS HEARING

ROOM ANY MINUTE FROM NOW. WHY TODAY? TO YOUR POINT, THIS HAS BEEN THAT HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WHEN THEY TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN JANUARY OF 2023. THEY SAID THAT INVESTIGATING THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WAS A PRIOR OF THEIRS AND NOW IT’S GONE DOWN.

THE LIST OF HOUSE GOP PRIORITY IS AT LEAST THAT THEY TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY SINCE THEN. BUT THIS HAS ALWAYS BREWING IN THE BACKGROUND. THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HAS EVEN HAD VERY TENSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT THREATENING AT ONE POINT TO HOLD THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS BECAUSE

THEY WANTED DOCUMENTS FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY NOW APPARENTLY HAVE AN AGREEMENT FROM STATE TO GET. SO THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. >> MILLEY’S TESTIMONY HERE IS ONE ELEMENT OF IT. SO CAN WE EXPECT ANYTHING NEWSWORTHY TO COME OUT OF TODAY’S TESTIMONY, YOU THINK?

>> WELL, IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE MILLEY HAS SAID ON THE RECORD TO OUR OWN MARTHA RADDATZ THAT HE HAS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN. AND SO YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS HEARING THAT HE WILL COME CONSISTENTLY BACK TO LINE. WHAT WE KNOW HOUSE REPUBLICANS WANT TO DO, THEY HAVE TELEGRAPHED THAT THEY’RE

INTERESTED IN DOING IS TRYING TO DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THOSE REGRETS THAT MILLEY HAS PUBLICLY EXPRESSED ABOUT HOW ALL OF THIS TRANSPIRED AND WHAT THEY SAY. HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY WERE FAILURES OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THAT HAS BEEN THEIR STATED GOAL THROUGH THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION. IT REALLY IS WHAT HANGS OVER

THESE PROCEEDINGS JAY O’BRIEN UP ON THE HILL FOR US. >> JOE, THANKS. WE’LL TRACK IT WITH YOU COMING UP. YOU YOUR TICKETS, YOU PACK YOUR BAGS, YOU’RE READY TO GO. THE BUSIEST TRAVEL SEASON IN HISTORY IS GOING TO IMPACT YOUR PLANS IN 2 MINUTES WITH WITH SO MUCH AT STAKE, SO

YET ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING STRETCH OF TRAVEL ON DECK, THIS TIME FOR SPRING BREAK. IN FACT, TSA SAYS JUST ON SUNDAY, RECENTLY, MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION PASSENGERS

AT AIRPORTS, THE COUNTRY. THAT’S A NUMBER THAT THEY HADN’T HIT SINCE THE DAYS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS. IN FACT, OVER THE PAST TEN DAYS OR SO, THEY’VE BEEN SEEING THE NUMBERS THAT THEY WOULD SEE DURING THE BUSIEST STRETCH OF TRAVEL IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED TO BE

EVEN BUSIER OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. TSA SAYS THEY’RE ANTICIPATING 47 MILLION PASSENGERS. THAT’S A 6% INCREASE FROM THE SAME TIMEFRAME LAST YEAR. NOW, THE GOOD IS, AT LEAST SO FAR, THE AIRLINES, THE TSA LINES, THEY DO SEEM TO BE PACE. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT A LOT

OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING FOR THEIR SPRING BREAK . TRAVEL’S TYPICALLY THAT RISE IN DEMAND DOES ALSO COINCIDE WITH A RISING GAS PRICES. WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THAT AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OVER THE PAST. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF GAS IS UP ABOUT $0.20 THIS MORNING.

SO CATHERINE NAVARRO HAS MAINTAINED THAT HE COULDN’T COOPERATE WITH THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE TRUMP INVOKED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. WHY THAT REJECTED? YEAH, THE JUDGE WASN’T REALLY BUYING DURING THIS TRIAL. IT WAS REJECTED BECAUSE NAVARRO

AND HIS ATTORNEYS REALLY HAD NOTHING TO POINT TO IN TERMS OF TRUMP ACTUALLY INVOKING, THAT THE JUDGE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WAS THERE AN EMAIL FROM THE FORMER LAWYERS? HOW DO YOU HOW DID YOU COME TO THIS CONCLUSION THAT YOU BELIEVED TRUMP WAS INVOKING THIS PRIVILEGE? AND NAVARRO ESSENTIALLY

SAID JUST BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT TRUMP WAS INVOKING PRIVILEGE, HE THOUGHT THAT TRUMP WOULDN’T WANT HIM TO COOPERATE. SO AND NAVARRO AND HIS ATTORNEYS DIDN’T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO WORK WITH AS IT RELATES TO THAT. AND, OF COURSE, THE JUDGE CLEARLY AND THE JURY WASN’T BUYING THAT.

>> SO THE SUPREME COURT IS ALSO SEPARATELY PREPARING TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON WHETHER TRUMP HAS PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY FROM CHARGES INTERFERED IN THE 2020 ELECTION. >> SO WHERE DO WE STAND THERE? ALL RIGHT. THIS IS JACKSON, THIS FEDERAL ELECTION SUBVERSION CASE, KYRA. THIS SUPPOSED TO ACTUALLY GO TO TRIAL EARLIER THIS MONTH.

IT’S BEEN ON HOLD WHILE. TRUMP’S LAWYERS APPEAL IT. THE SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR ARGUMENTS AT THE END OF APRIL, APRIL 22ND ON THIS IN PARTICULAR. IT DEPENDS, OF COURSE AFTER THOSE ARGUMENTS WHEN THEY RULE IN THE BIG QUESTION, OF COURSE ,WILL THIS GO TO TRIAL BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION?

ALL RIGHT, STAY TUNED, KATHERINE FAULDERS. THANKS SO MUCH. AND THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES TAKING PLACE IN ARIZONA. FLORIDA, KANSAS AND OHIO TODAY. BUT IT’S BASICALLY FOR SHOW SINCE BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE ALREADY THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEES. BIDEN IS ACTUALLY CAMPAIGNING

IN NEVADA AS TRUMP’S MOUTH GETS HIM IN TROUBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE BACKLASH STARTED AFTER TRUMP SAID ON HIS SOCIAL NETWORK THAT MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE SHOULD BE PUT IN JAIL, BUT IT GOT WORSE. >> HE ALSO ATTACKED JEWISH VOTERS, SAYING THAT JEWS WHO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS HATE

THEIR RELIGION AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. LET’S BRING IN OUR POLITICAL RICK KLEIN, WHO’S BEEN FOLLOWING ALL THE REVOLTING RHETORIC, TO SAY THE LEAST RICK. THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S RHETORIC GETTING INCREASINGLY ERRATIC AND. WHY IS HE DOING IT? WELL, SOMETIMES WE IN PART STRATEGY WHEN NONE IS INVOLVED

HERE, WE KNOW DONALD TRUMP WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW SOMETIMES HE’S JUST RIFFING ON THE TIMES. HE’S LOOKING TO BE PROVOCATIVE AND LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HE’S SAYING BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE’S DOMINATING NEWS STORIES WHEN HE DOES IT, I THINK IN THIS CASE. WHAT HE’S SAYING IS IT IS VERY

PERILOUSLY CLOSE, IF NOT OVER THE LINE OF AN ANTI-SEMITIC SLUR TO SUGGEST THAT THAT BEING JEWISH MEANS HAVE TO HAVE OR SHOULD HAVE AN AUTOMATIC LOYALTY TO ISRAEL OR TO THE ISRAELI. OF COURSE, WE SAW SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER, THE MOST PROMINENT, HIGHEST RANKING IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES JUST LAST

WEEK, CALL FOR NEW LEADERSHIP IN ISRAEL. OF COURSE HE’S LOOKING TO REACH OUT TO JEWISH VOTERS AS HE HAS IN THE PAST. BUT THIS IS CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT THAT HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKING OFFENSE WITH. AND OFTEN THAT IS THE POINT. AND WE SAW HIM SAY IT JUST

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WITH HIS COMMENT ABOUT A BLOODBATH IN THE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND BEYOND AND OFTEN IS JUST TRYING TO PROVOCATIVE AND IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME IF WE SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT HIS SUPPORTERS KIND OF CONTINUE IN THAT DIRECTION AND DOUBLE DOWN. >> SO WE’VE TALKED A LOT

ABOUT HOW TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN IS RUNNING REVENGE AND RETRIBUTION. HOW’S THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN? WELL, I’VE TALKED TO BIDEN, WHO REALLY, REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS DONALD TRUMP AT HIS BEST FOR THEM, WORSE FOR THE COUNTRY. THEY FEEL LIKE THIS WHEN HE SAYS WHO HE IS AND, WHAT HE WOULD DO.

THEY WANT TO ENGAGE IN EXACTLY THAT WAY. AND YOU’VE SEEN STATEMENTS FROM THE BIDEN TEAM CALLING THAT OUT. AND LOOK SO MUCH OF THEIR STRATEGY, FRANKLY, IS RUNNING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, THAT THE MORE THAT DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF IN TROUBLE, THE BETTER IT IS FOR JOE BIDEN. BUT THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT IS,

AS I SAID, TRUMP LIKES THE ATTENTION AND OFTEN GETS THE ATTENTION. AND EVEN IN THESE EARLY DAYS OF A GENERAL ELECTION RACE, WHAT HE’S SAYING CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE NEWS IN WAYS THAT BIDEN MAY WELCOME, BUT IT STILL IS MAKING HIM DOMINANT FORCE AND UNFORTUNATELY. >> WELL, OKAY, WHAT ARE

YOU WATCHING OUT FOR FOR IN DURING TONIGHT’S PRIMARIES? YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET IS BASICALLY LOCKED IN NOW. YEAH IT’S NOT ABOUT WINNING DELEGATES, BUT IT IS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PROTEST VOTE WE SEE ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. AND FRANKLY, ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, HOW MANY VOTERS ARE CONTINUING TO EITHER

VOTE FOR NIKKI HALEY IN PROTEST OR SAY THEY WOULD BE DISSATISFIED WITH DONALD TRUMP. AND THERE’S A BIG SENATE RACE TO WATCH IN OHIO THAT HAS A MAGA FAVORITE CANDIDATE, BERNIE MORENO, UP AGAINST TWO MORE ESTABLISHMENT MINDED REPUBLICANS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A KEY RACE IN THE EFFORTS TO DEFEAT

SENATOR SHERROD BROWN IN THE STATE THAT’S MOVING TO THE RIGHT. THE QUESTION IS, DOES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MAYBE GO TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT, FAR MAGA AND TOO FAR? TRUMP IF THEY GO WITH MARINO. BUT WE’LL SEE WHAT OHIO VOTERS HAVE TO SAY TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT. RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU.

>> YOU BET. SO ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN IS SENDING REPS TO WASHINGTON FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC WARNING YET, URGING ISRAEL TO DELAY PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS WITH NO HOME OR ANY OTHER PLACE TO GO CURRENTLY

SHELTERING THERE IN THE SOUTH, FLEEING FIGHTING FROM THE NORTH . NOW, A MEETING BETWEEN AMERICAN ISRAELI LEADERS WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK, BUT THE CONDITIONS IN GAZA ARE MORE DIRE THAN. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT’S DEEPLY CONCERNED FOLLOWING THAT NEW REPORT WARNING OF UNPRECEDENTED AND IMMINENT FAMINE IN GAZA.

OUR ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SECUREWORKS JOINS ME NOW FROM LONDON. SO, TOM, WE’RE GETTING SOME NEW INFO FROM A SENIOR ISRAELI LEADER NOW ON THIS MEETING IN WASHINGTON. WHAT DO WE KNOW? >> WELL, ONE OF THE KEY POINTS OF DISCUSSION, ISRAELI OFFICIALS SIT DOWN WITH KEY MEMBERS OF THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, PROBABLY EARLY NEXT WEEK, KYRA, IS WHETHER OR NOT ISRAEL IS GOING TO GO INTO RAFAH WITHOUT WHAT THE US SAYS IT HAS TO HAVE IN PLACE IS A CREDIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT ALL OF THE CIVILIANS THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS PACKED INTO THAT SOUTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP.

AND WE’VE JUST GOT WORD FROM AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL AND IT’S REITERATING THAT MESSAGE THEY’VE BEEN PUSHING FOR SOME TIME NOW IS THAT THERE IS NO WORLD, THIS OFFICIAL IS SAYING, IN WHICH ISRAEL WILL NOT GO INTO RAFAH. >> AND ISRAEL’S POSITION IS THAT IT BELIEVES THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HAMAS FIGHTERS

POSITIONED IN RAFAH. IT STILL BELIEVES THAT A KEY LEADER OF HAMAS, YAHYA SINWAR, THE ALLEGED ARCHITECT OF THE OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK, IS BASED POTENTIALLY IN THE TUNNELS DOWN THAT POTENTIALLY HOSTAGES TO. THIS IS THE COMPLICATED DYNAMIC. THE ISRAELIS CLEARLY WANT TO GO INTO RAFAH. THEY SAY THEY WILL GO RAFAH.

THE MEETING EARLY NEXT WEEK IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S CHANCE TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM, TO TELL THEM NOT TO DO IT UNTIL THE CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND WOULD LESSEN THE CIVILIAN DEATH TOLL, THAT IF THE ISRAELI MILITARY WENT IN. >> SO THE WHITE IS CALLING THIS U.N. REPORT OR THIS MORNING

STARK AND DEVASTATING THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TO HELP THE CIVILIANS IN GAZA. SO HOW EXACTLY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION GOING TO PUMP UP PLANS HERE? WELL, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY BEEN AIRDROPPING AID IN WITH ITS ALLIES, BUT ITS AID AGENCIES SAY THAT THAT’S JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET.

IT’S NOT GOING TO REALLY ADDRESS THE CRITICAL SITUATION ON THE GROUND THAT THE GROWING LEVELS OF HUNGER, PARTICULARLY IN NORTHERN GAZA. >> THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING AT TRYING TO GET MORE AID IN VIA SEA, ATTEMPTING TO BUILD A PIER USING THE MILITARY OFF THE COAST OF GAZA.

THAT POTENTIALLY IS GOING TO TAKE TWO MONTHS TO DO. IN REALITY, THE ONLY IN THE NEAR-TERM TO GETTING HUGE AMOUNTS OF AID IN ISRAEL OPEN UP MORE CROSSING POINTS, PARTICULARLY INTO THE NORTH OF GAZA. AT THE MOMENT, THERE ARE ONLY TWO CROSSING POINTS INTO GAZA FROM EGYPT AND FROM AN AREA

OF IN THE SOUTH. >> AND WE’RE SEEING QUEUES OF AID TRUCKS JUST AT THE BORDER. ISRAEL SAYS IT HAS TO CHECK ALL THE TRUCKS AND IT SAYS THAT A LOT OF THE AID ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF HAMAS. BUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PILING ON THE PRESSURE NOW

SAYING THAT ISRAEL HAS TO LET MORE AID IN. >> AND WE’RE SEEING MUCH TOUGHER RHETORIC FROM. >> SOME OF THE US’S ALLIES, THE EUROPEAN UNION TOP DIPLOMAT ACCUSING ISRAEL OF USING HUNGER AS A WEAPON OF WAR. >> SO WE’VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS HOT MIC WITH BIDEN.

HE WAS CAUGHT SAYING HE WANTS TO HAVE A COME TO CONVERSATION WITH NETANYAHU. DO WE KNOW IF THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED ON THE PHONE YESTERDAY? >> WELL, THE WHITE HOUSE WAS ASKED ABOUT KYRA. I MEAN, THEY’RE STEPPING BACK. THEY’RE SAYING THAT THE PHONE CALL BETWEEN AND NETANYAHU SHOULDN’T BE SORT

OF CHARACTERIZED IN WAY. CLEARLY, THERE’S A VERY STRONG DIFFERENCE OF OPINION NOT ONLY ON WHETHER OR NOT VAST AMOUNTS OF MORE AID VIA TRUCKS SHOULD BE GETTING INTO GAZA TO ADDRESS GROWING LEVELS OF HUNGER. >> I MEAN, AID AGENCIES ARE SAYING THAT A FAMINE COULD ALREADY BE PLAYING OUT

ON THE GROUND IN GAZA. >> AND WE’RE SEEING AND MORE EVIDENCE THAT CHILDREN ARE MALNOURISHED ON THE GROUND AND THAT IS REALLY ONE OF THE KEY STICKING POINTS. AND OF COURSE, THE QUESTION WHETHER OR WHEN THE ISRAELI MILITARY WILL GO INTO RAFAH IN THE SOUTH GAZA TO KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT,

TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE THANK YOU. BACK HERE IN OUR NATION’S CAPITAL, WE ARE REMEMBERING THOSE DESPERATE AFGHAN PEOPLE TRYING TO FLEE, CLINGING TO MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY THERE, THE COUNTRY. NOW, THEY GOT WORD THAT U.S. TROOPS WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN, THAT THE TALIBAN AGAIN WAS GAINING RULE. WE EVEN LOST U.S. TROOPS

GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED IN THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST BOMBING. AND NOW FORMER JOINT OF STAFF GENERAL MARKILLEY IS TESTIFYING ABOUT ALL THAT AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY AND CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN BACK IN AUGUST OF 2021. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FOR MILLEY SINCE RETIRING AT THE

END OF LAST YEAR. THE PAST SEPTEMBER, THE FORMER JOINT CHIEF OF STAFF TOLD ABC NEWS THAT THE WITHDRAWAL WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE AND HE HAD LOTS OF REGRETS. LET’S BRING IN OUR JAY O’BRIEN IS ON CAPITOL FOLLOWING ALL THE TESTIMONY. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW OR WHAT HAVE WE HEARD SO FAR?

>> WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS WE’VE HEARD IS IN LINE WITH. WHAT WE’VE HEARD, FRANKLY, FROM GENERAL MILLEY BEFORE, WHAT HE TOLD OUR OWN MARTHA RADDATZ AND YOU SHOWED VIDEO OF THAT INTERVIEW IN WHICH HE SAID HE HAS A SERIES OF REGRETS ABOUT HOW THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL TRANSFER THAT HAS

BEEN REALLY THE THEME OF HIS TESTIMONY HERE ON HILL OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO. HOUSE REPUBLICANS REMEMBER HOLDING THIS HEARING BECAUSE FOR THE LAST YEAR OR. SO THERE HAS BEEN THIS INVESTIGATION IN THE HOUSE. REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. IT’S REALLY BEEN AN INVESTIGATION THAT REPUBLICANS SAID THEY WANTED TO PRIORITIZE

WHEN THEY TOOK OVER THE HOUSE IN JANUARY OF 2023. NOW, AS THE LIST GOES, OF REPUBLICAN INVESTIGATORY, THIS ONE HAS GONE DOWN IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU HEAR REPUBLICANS TALK ABOUT EVERY DAY. BUT NONETHELESS, THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HAS BEEN PURSUING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL

FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND THAT’S WHY THEY WANT IT. THEY SAID TO HAVE MIDDLE EAST COMMENTS GO ON THE RECORD THE WAY THEY ARE. >> SO, JAY, ANY REGRETS FROM THE FORMER JOINT CHIEF? >> HE HE REGRETS A SERIES WHAT HE SAYS WERE ISSUES WITH THE WITHDRAWAL.

ONE OF THEM WAS THE EVACUATION ORDERS THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT GAVE TO, FOR INSTANCE, AMERICAN CITIZENS AND ALSO AMERICAN ALLIES IN AFGHANISTAN. AFGHANS WHO HAVE WORKED, FOR INSTANCE, WITH U.S. MILITARY. ANOTHER WAS THE LACK OF A REMAINDER OF SOME KIND OF CONTINGENT OF U.S. TROOPS ON GROUND THERE THAT COULD

HAVE ASSISTED AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES AND NOT ALLOWED KABUL TO BE TAKEN AS FAST AS IT WAS. AND THE SECURITY FORCES TO BE TOPPLED AS QUICKLY AS THE WAY THAT THEY WERE. >> HERE’S MILLEY ALLUDING TO THAT A LITTLE BIT AGO. >> AS I PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED PUBLICLY, MY ANALYSIS, PERSONAL

ANALYSIS WAS THAT AN ACCELERATED WITHDRAWAL WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO THE GENERAL COLLAPSE OF THE AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES AND THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, RESULTING IN A LARGE SCALE CIVIL WAR REMINISCENT OF THE 1990 OR A COMPLETE TALIBAN TAKEOVER, MILLEY SAID IN THE HEARING. >> AS HE SAID BEFORE, THAT HE

MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE A SMALL GROUP OF U.S. TROOPS STILL THERE ON THE GROUND IN SOME KIND OF CAPACITY TO ASSIST THE AFGHANS, AND THAT NOT FOLLOWED UP ON. JAY O’BRIEN UP ON THE HILL FOR US. JAY, THANKS. >> COMING UP, HAITI IN CRISIS AND TRAPPED AMERICANS DESPERATE

TO ESCAPE AS THE ISLAND NATION CONTINUES TO SPIRAL UNDER GANG CONTROL. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS. WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL SURPRISE ATTACK BY HAMAS ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE. >> REPORTING FROM LEWISTON, MAINE, THE SCENE OF A HORRIFIC MASS SHOOTING, ABC NEWS LIVE

IS RIGHT THERE EVERYWHERE FROM THE SCENE OF THAT DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE IN HEBREW, UKRAINE. REPORTING FROM THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY IN ROLLING FORWARD THIS TORNADO TORE THROUGH THIS LITTLE FROM THE MOST DEVASTATING DISASTER IN HAWAII FROM CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, ON THE 2024 CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN ICELAND. >> LET’S GO BACK TRAVELING

IS, WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’RE TO TAKE YOU THERE. WE’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE. >> THEY’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS LIVE STREAMING FREE EVERYWHERE. >> AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. I HAVE A QUICK CONCERT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S NO SECRET WORLD WE HAVE.

DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I GO, NO THIS IS ONE INSIDE OUT AND IS A SOURCE OF HUMOR FOR THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE. THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO TO GET HIS IN ANYWHERE. WOW. WE’RE IN MIAMI.

IT’S A GOLF TOURNAMENT THAT’S LOUD SHOUTING AND CONTROVERSIAL. WE’VE GOT EXCLUSIVE ACCESS. WE ARE ABOUT TO PARTY. WE’RE NOT GOING THE COUNTRY CLUB. WE LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF. WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE FUN WITH IT. OH, SPORTS IS A FORM OF INFORMATION MANIPULATION. WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG IS,

A POLITICAL REGIME, YOU CAN’T JUST GET RID OF THE STAYING POWER. PLAY THE BOOMING BUSINESS OF SPORTS. >> WATCHING NOW STREAMING ON HULU. >> THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US. WHILE THE RACE IS ON TO RESCUE HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS TRAPPED IN HAITI WITH AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS ALREADY RESCUED

AS THAT SITUATION IN THERE CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE AFTER THE CONTINUED REVOLT BY ARMED GANGS. OUR MATT RIVERS IS IN PORT AU PRINCE WITH THE LATEST. >> HEY, MATT. WELL, KYRA, IT’S HARD TO OVERSTATE JUST DIRE. THE SITUATION HERE IS IN PORT AU PRINCE. WE HEARD GUNFIRE NOT FAR FROM

WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. ALL LAST NIGHT, IT WASN’T FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW THAT 13 PEOPLE WERE MASSACRED ALONG A STRETCH, A QUARTER MILE STRETCH OF ROAD JUST UP THE STREET FROM WHERE WE’RE STAYING NOW. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHERE WE’RE STAYING.

THIS IS THE KIND OF VIOLENCE THAT IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND THE CITY AT THIS POINT AS GANGS CONTINUE TO FIGHT WITH POLICE. THIS GOING INTO SEVERAL WEEKS OF THIS NOW, SINCE THESE GANGS, GANG ALLIANCES, UNIFY TIED TO ONE BROADER ALLIANCE AND ARE CONTINUING TO ATTACK THE CITY GOVERNMENT, TRYING TO TOPPLE

THE SITTING GOVERNMENT, THEY DID MANAGE TO FORCE THE RESIGNATION OF THE ACTING PRIME MINISTER OF THIS COUNTRY ON RE, BUT HE’S ONLY GOING TO FORMALLY STEP DOWN ONCE A TRANSITIONAL HAS BEEN INSTALLED. THE COUNCIL HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED YET AND HAPPEN AS SOON AS THIS WEEK. BUT THE GANGS HAVE ALREADY

SIGNALED THEY’RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THAT AS A LEGITIMATE POLITICAL TRANSITION. ALL OF THAT MEANS THAT THIS HERE GOING ON IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE. MEANWHILE, THE HUMANITARIAN CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. JUST DOWN TO MY LEFT THERE FURTHER DOWN THE HILL AT THE END OF THIS VALLEY, HERE IS THE

PORT, THE ONE MAIN PORT WHERE EVERY SUPPLY AND WHATNOT IS BROUGHT IN TO PORT AU PRINCE. IT’S CLOSED. THE GANGS HAVE SHUT DOWN THAT PORT. THEY’VE LOOTED SOME OF THE CONTAINERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THAT PORT. AND SO THEY HAVE BASICALLY MANAGED TO COMPLETELY CONTROL EVERY ACCESS POINT IN AND OUT

OF PORT AU PRINCE HIGHWAYS LEADING TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN GET INTO THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW RELATIVELY SAFELY IS BY HELICOPTER. AND THAT IS NOT REALLY AN OPTION IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING HUMANITARIAN AID IN AT SCALE, THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT IS

HAPPENING. A TRULY DIRE SITUATION, KYRA, RIGHT NOW IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF PORT AU PRINCE. MATT RIVERS, WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW YOUR ASSIGNMENT FOR SURE. PRINCE WILLIAM BACK TO HIS ROYAL DUTIES AFTER APPARENTLY STEPPING OUT WITH PRINCESS KATE AND ALLEGEDLY SEEN TOGETHER WALKING A FARMER’S MARKET. >> BUT SKEPTICS ONLINE

ARE STILL QUESTIONING IF IT REALLY WAS THE PRINCESS. NOW, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT SPEAKING OUT ABOUT IT. >> OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI HAS THE DETAILS. >> FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE DECEMBER. KATE MIDDLETON WAS ON VIDEO. SHE WAS APPARENTLY VISITING A LOCAL FARM SHOP IN WINDSOR WITH HER HUSBAND, PRINCE

WILLIAM, AT A STORE JUST ONE MILE FROM THEIR HOME. THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE AND GROWING SCRUTINY. THE HEALTH OF THE FUTURE QUEEN SINCE JANUARY, WHEN THE PALACE ANNOUNCED, SHE HAD UNDERGONE ABDOMINAL SURGERY AND WOULD TAKE TIME AWAY FROM PUBLIC TO RECOVER. JUST LAST WEEK, THE ROYALS RELEASING THIS PHOTO OF KATE

THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED. MULTIPLE NEWS AGENCIES TAKING IT DOWN. THE AFP SAYING KENSINGTON PALACE, WHICH HANDLES COMMUNICATIONS FOR WILLIAM KATE, ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT CONSIDERED A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE . THE PRINCESS ISSUING A RESPONSE AFTER AGENCIES TOOK DOWN THE PHOTO, ACKNOWLEDGING THE PHOTO WAS EDITED AND APOLOGIZING FOR ANY CONFUSION THE PHOTO MAY

HAVE CAUSED. >> HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE, BUT THE INTERNET HAS GONE WILD WITH VARIOUS THEORIES ON WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH KATE, INCLUDING POSTS FROM CELEBRITIES LIKE BLAKE LIVELY, POSTING AN OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE WITH THE CAPTION. NOW YOU WHY I’VE BEEN M.I.A. KIM KARDASHIAN POSTING A PHOTO

ON MY WAY TO GO FIND KATE. >> THE ROYAL FAMILY IS DEFINITELY, AT THIS POINT SCRAMBLING. THEY ARE IN CATCH UP MODE BEHIND PUBLIC OPINION AND IT A MESS. >> QUESTIONS ABOUT ANOTHER ROYAL PHOTO RELEASED BY THE PALACE IN AN EDITOR’S NOTE. GETTY IMAGES WRITING IMAGE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY ENHANCED AT SOURCE.

IS EXPECTED BY THE END OF THE MONTH. AND A SLAM AND THEN SOME SOME ARE SAYING THIS DUNK LAID DOWN BY MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES ANTHONY EDWARDS OVER THE UTAH JAZZ AS JOHN COLLINS LAST NIGHT IS. >> ABSOLUTELY THE DUNK OF THE YEAR. CHECK IT OUT. ONE OTHER TURNOVER FOR UTAH.

EDWARDS GETS IT THREE AND ONE AND IT LEFT EDWARDS WITH A DISLOCATED FINGER, AS YOU JUST SAW. AND COLLINS WITH A HEAD CONTUSION. BUT IT WAS SEEMINGLY WORTH IT FOR EDWARDS CALLED IT THE DUNK OF HIS CAREER. >> BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK, ONE ON ONE WITH DON LEMON AND WELL, LEMON GOT FIRED.

THE FORMER CNN RELEASING THE FULL INTERVIEW, WHICH HE SAYS LED TO MUSK CANCELING HIS DEAL X. LEMON SPARRING WITH THE TECH TITAN OVER POLITICS BUSINESS, EVEN MUSK DRUG USE. >> HERE’S OUR REBECCA JARVIS. >> DOESN’T THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU? I MEAN, YOU’RE ON I OBVIOUSLY SAY TO THE QUESTION CAREFULLY,

HOUR LONG INTERVIEW ONLINE MONDAY ANYWAY, INCLUDING ON WHERE HE ASKED MUSK ABOUT SENSITIVE TOPICS LIKE KETAMINE USE. >> BUT YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD. YOU HAVE A KETAMINE PRESCRIPTION. YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? WELL, I MEAN, THAT’S PRETTY PRIVATE TO ASK SOMEBODY A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW.

BUT IT’S I THINK IT’S — IT’S HARD TO SAY. LIKE, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN HAVE SORT OF OTHER LIKE A NEGATIVE CHEMICAL STATE IN MY IN MY BRAIN. LIKE DEPRESSION, I GUESS. AND THEN KETAMINE IS HELPFUL FOR GETTING ANYONE ELSE OUT A NEGATIVE FRAME OF MIND. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU EVER ABUSE

IT? I DON’T THINK SO. IF YOU USE TOO MUCH KETAMINE, YOU CAN’T REALLY GET WORK DONE. SO I HAVE A LOT OF WORK. >> LEMON ALSO ASKING ABOUT HATE SPEECH OR HATE SPEECH ON THE PLATFORM IS UP. SO WHAT THEY WILL TYPICALLY DO IS THEY WILL THE NUMBER OF POSTS, BUT NOT COUNT

THE NUMBER OF VIEWS. SO WHAT MATTERS IS WAS THAT POST GIVEN HIGH VISIBILITY OR WHAT THEY LIKE ONE PERSON TO SEE IT. >> REPS FOR THE JOURNALIST TELL ABC THERE WERE LIGHT EDITS MADE TO THE CONVERSATION FOR PAUSES BUT NOTHING OF EDITORIAL SUBSTANCE. THE TWO SPARRING OVER MANY, INCLUDING DIVERSITY, EQUITY

AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES AND FREE SPEECH. >> DON, YOU LOVE CENSORSHIP, IS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING? NO, I DON’T LOVE CENSORSHIP. AND WHY? WHY, YES, I BELIEVE IN MODERATION, BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IN CENSORSHIP AS IT IS. A MODERATION IS A PROPAGANDA WORD FOR CENSORSHIP. BUT DON’T YOU THINK FREE SPEECH

IS ONE THING, RIGHT OR NOT? YOU KNOW, LOOK, IF SOMETHING IS ILLEGAL, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN. MUSK LATER CONFIRMED, THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP SAYING LEMON LACKED AUTHENTICITY AND HIS APPROACH WAS BASICALLY JUST CNN. BUT ON SOCIAL, WHICH DOES IT WORK? LEMON APPEARING ON THE VIEW LAST WEEK TO DISCUSS

THE INTERVIEW PRIOR TO ITS RELEASE. >> I THINK IT WAS JUST UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM TO SIT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND ACTUALLY HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. >> LEMON ALSO DISCUSSED POLITICS WITH MUSK FREQUENTLY SHARES HIS POLITICAL VIEWS ON X. BUT MUSK SAYS, HE DOES NOT PLAN

TO GIVE MONEY TO EITHER PRESIDENT BIDEN OR FORMER PRESIDENT. CAMPAIGN ALSO TELLING LEMON HE WILL NOT HELP TRUMP WITH HIS GROWING LEGAL FEES KYRA. ALL RIGHT, REBECCA THANKS SO MUCH. >> AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. AND BREAKING NEWS, ALL THE STORIES MATTER TO YOU.

STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE AND TRUMP ADVISER BEHIND BARS, PETER NAVARRO. DEFIANT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS, HIS FINAL WORDS BEFORE BEING CARTED OFF TO PRISON. THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, A DESPERATE NEED FOR

FOOD AND MEDICAL AID AMID A DEEPENING CONFLICT AS ISRAEL PREPS FOR A PLANNED OFFENSIVE. WHY THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS AN ATTACK WOULD BE A MISTAKE AND SPRING HAS SPRUNG THE DEEP FREEZE. MOVE IT OUT WITH A WARM UP ON THE HORIZON. THE TSA BRACING FOR A RECORD TRAVEL SEASON. WELL.

OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM TRACKING IT ALL THIS HOUR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, A NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE. THE FIRST A FORMER TRUMP ADVISER REPORTING TO PRISON FOR HIS ROLE IN THAT DEADLY INSURRECTION. THE CAPITOL TODAY, PETER NAVARRO TURNING HIMSELF IN TO A FEDERAL CORRECTIONS

FACILITY IN MIAMI. HE’LL NOW SPEND FOUR MONTHS BEHIND BARS DEFYING THAT SUBPOENA FROM THE NOW DEFUNCT HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE . OF COURSE, TOMORROW SLAMMING THE SENTENCE, SAYING THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS. >> I AM NOT NERVOUS. >> I’VE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM DONALD

TRUMP AND HIS TEAM. >> AND HE HE LOOKED, THEY CAN PUT ME IN PRISON. THEY CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS ,THEY ARE COMING AFTER DONALD TRUMP WITH THE SAME TACTICS, TOOLS AND STRATEGIES THEY USED TO ME OVER THERE TODAY.

>> SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS IS ON THE STORY. >> SO NAVARRO IS NOW IN PRISON. HE TRUMP WERE TIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS. WELL, IT’S HUGELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, HE BECOMES THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO REPORT TO PRISON FROM THAT WERE RELATED TO JANUARY SIX.

OF COURSE, THIS WAS RELATED TO THE JANUARY 6TH CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. AND DEFYING A SUBPOENA. SO HE WILL OBVIOUSLY SERVE FOUR MONTHS THERE. AND LOOK, IT’S HE’S NOW HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE BEFORE 2:00 TODAY. YOU HEARD HIM GIVE THOSE REMARKS. I THINK IT’S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT HE IS BLAMING DEMOCRATS.

HE’S SAYING THIS IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. BUT IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE JUDGE OVERSEEING THIS DIDN’T FIND ANY MISCONDUCT ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT. SO THIS IS A TALKING POINT THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM TRUMP ALLIES, FORMER

TRUMP ALLIES, AS WE WATCH SOME OF THESE CASES PROGRESS. SO WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE PRISON? AND DO YOU THINK HE’LL REALLY SERVE ALL FOUR MONTHS? IT’S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON’T THINK HE WILL SERVE ALL FOUR MONTHS. HE PROBABLY WILL GET OUT EARLIER. THAT EARNED CREDIT FOR GOOD TIME.

THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF THE TIME HE SERVES. BUT IN TERMS OF IT, YOU CAN SEE THE AERIAL SHOT THERE. THE THE IN MIAMI OF THE PRISON. IT’S A PRISON CAMP THAT HOUSES ROUGHLY 200 INMATES. NAVARRO WILL BE FREE TO WALK AROUND GROUNDS DURING DAY.

A LOT OF THE INMATES DO A LOT OF THE MAINTENANCE AROUND THE JAIL, FOR EXAMPLE. SO THAT’S JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE HE WILL BE. BUT YOUR POINT. IT LIKELY WON’T SERVE ALL OF THOSE FOUR MONTHS KYRA. >> ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS THANKS SO SO ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU IS SENDING REPS TO WASHINGTON NOW FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC YET, URGING ISRAEL TO DELAY THOSE PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS WITH NO HOME OR ANY OTHER PLACE TO GO, ARE CURRENTLY SHELTERING, FLEEING, FIGHTING IN THE NORTH.

NOW, A MEETING BETWEEN AMERICAN ISRAELI LEADERS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AND UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT HAS EVERY EXPECTATION THAT NO MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION WILL HAPPEN IN RAFAH. OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN IS ON THE GROUND IN JERUSALEM. >> SO MATT TALKS, TALKS,

MORE TALKS, BUT CLEARLY THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ACTION. SO WHAT CAN HAPPEN AMONG THESE ISRAELI LEADERS COMING TO WASHINGTON THAT CAN’T JUST HAPPEN NOW AS FAMILIES CONTINUE TO STARVE IN GAZA? IT’S UNCLEAR. I THINK WHAT THE U.S. IS GOING TO POINT OUT TO THIS ISRAELI DELEGATION IS MAYBE

SOME HUMANITARIAN CONCEPTS OR PILOT IDEAS THAT THEY HAVEN’T YET THOUGHT. I THINK ALSO THERE IS A MOUNTING AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT IS STARTING TO BE FELT BY THE HIGHER ECHELONS OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. THEY HAVE TO SOLVE THIS HUMANITARIAN ISSUE THAT ISRAEL STILL SAYS, BY THE WAY,

OFFICIALLY THAT THERE IS NO STARVATION IN GAZA. SO THEY WITH THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM, WITH THE U.N., WHAT THE U.S. IS NOW SAYING IS EVIDENT THAT FAMINE HAS EITHER STARTED ALREADY OR IS ABOUT TO START WITHIN DAYS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF GAZA. SO WHAT ISRAEL DOES SAY THAT IT’S DOING IS IT’S

ALLOWING MORE AID TRUCKS, SPECIFICALLY FOOD INTO THE GAZA, SPECIFICALLY THE NORTH. THEY SAY THEY’RE AVERAGING 150 TRUCKS A DAY. THEY BLAME THE ON THE DISTRIBUTION, MOSTLY ON THE U.N. AND NGOS, FOR BEING UNABLE TO ACTUALLY GET THE AID TO WHERE NEEDS TO GO TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE HUNGRIEST.

AND THE U.N. CONCEDES, YES, WE DO HAVE A PROBLEM, BECAUSE MANY OF THESE ROUTES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS CHAOS IN THE STREETS, AND WE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING ,THIS FOOD WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. WHAT’S IT OBVIOUS IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A SOLUTION AND VERY SOON, KYRA.

SO ISRAEL CONTINUES ITS MILITARY IN NORTHERN GAZA THERE AT AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL. IS HAMAS STILL OPERATING OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL WHERE INNOCENT FAMILIES HAVE BEEN FINDING REFUGE? I DON’T THINK HAMAS IS STILL ACTIVE IN THE HOSPITAL. ISRAEL HAS SURROUNDED THE HOSPITAL THIS WAS A BRIGADE LEVEL OPERATION.

IT TURNED INTO A BATTLE AT ONE POINT. ISRAEL HAS MADE OVER 200 ARRESTS. THERE WERE 20 SUSPECTED MILITANTS WHO WERE KILLED. I THINK THAT PART OF THE OPERATION IS OVER. THEY’RE STILL COMBING THROUGH THE HOSPITAL TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY HAMAS ELEMENTS LEFT THERE. BUT I THINK WHAT THIS SHOWS

IS THAT HAMAS HAS BEEN ABLE TO REGROUP IN THE AREA THAT ISRAEL THOUGHT THAT IT HAD MOST CLEAR OF HAMAS ELEMENTS. AND IT SHOWS THEY CAN ACTUALLY REGROUP IN A WAY THAT PARTS THAT ISRAEL PERHAPS DID NOT EXPECT AND QUICKER, MORE QUICKLY, I THINK, THAN ISRAEL HAD EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN KYRA.

SO WHAT MORE DO KNOW ABOUT THE TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S BEING BUILT THERE TO BRING IN ALL THIS EMERGENCY AID? HOW WILL ISRAEL BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY, U.S. TROOPS WORKING ON THAT AND FACILITATING THAT PROJECT? >> HOW SOON COULD WE SEE AID COMING IN? WELL, OBVIOUSLY, THAT’S A MAJOR

CONCERN HERE, BECAUSE IF ISRAEL HAS TO THE BATTLES THAT IT THOUGHT IT HAD WON FOUR MONTHS AGO IN NOVEMBER BY CLEARING OUT THIS SAME HOSPITAL, A SHIP OF THE LARGEST IN GAZA, THEN HOW CAN IT ACTUALLY GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF U.S. TROOPS? YOU’RE GOING TO BE JUST A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET

OFFSHORE OR STARTING IN ABOUT 60 DAYS. THAT REMAINS UNANSWERED. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THE U.S. IS SENDING TWO SHIPS WITH ESSENTIALLY A PORTABLE PIECES OF A MAKESHIFT PIER, GOING TO BE ABOUT 1800 FEET LONG. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE SOME SORT OF DEEP

WATER PORT THAT A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN. BUT AGAIN, THAT’S 60 DAYS AWAY. AND BY THE TIME THE ACTUAL AID WILL BE ABLE TO COME IN, WE’RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT TWO MONTHS FROM NOW, WHICH IS TOO LONG FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING RIGHT NOW KYRA.

>> ALL RIGHT. MATT GUTMAN FOR US THERE IN, JERUSALEM, APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING. >> WE’LL STAY IN CLOSE TOUCH. THANK YOU. STARVATION IS STALKING GAZA’S CHILDREN. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT KIDS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CAN’T GET A MEAL. ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE HUNGRY AND THAT THE DEVASTATION

THEY SEE AROUND THEM HURTS, HURTS THEIR TUMMIES, HURTS THEIR MOMS AND DADS. AND THEY DON’T SAFE. THIS IS THE HUMAN SIDE OF THIS WAR IN GAZA AND. IT’S ALL SUPPORTED IN A NEW REPORT FROM THE UNITED NATIONS THAT’S NOW WARNING FAMINE IS IMMINENT IN NORTHERN GAZA AND THAT MORE THAN 200,000

PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING CATASTROPHIC HUNGER. AND IT IS TIMES LIKE THIS WE ALWAYS FIND UNICEF. JAMES, HE HAS MADE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE REGION SINCE THE START OF THIS WAR, AND HE’S BEEN DOCUMENTING IT FOR US LIKE THIS, HEADING BACK INTO GAZA NOW. OUTRAGEOUS. HOW MANY LIFESAVING SUPPLIES ARE SO DESPERATELY CLOSE

TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM? FOOD, WATER, MEDICINES, LIFESAVING? BECAUSE WE KNOW JUST ACROSS THE BORDER, CHILDREN DIED OF MALNUTRITION. CHILDREN HAVE DIED OF DEHYDRATION. SO THESE ARE THE SUPPLIES THAT SO URGENTLY NEED TO GET ACROSS TO THE CIVILIANS OF GAZA. >> WOW. JAMES JOINS ME NOW FROM RAFAH

RIGHT THERE IN THE GAZA STRIP. BEAUTIFUL SUNSET BEHIND YOU, BUT DEFINITELY NOT A BEAUTIFUL SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHAT YOU JUST SHOWED US. JAMES. WHAT MORE I KNOW. TALKED TO THOSE BRINGING THE TRUCKS IN. WHAT WERE ON THOSE TRUCKS AND HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WERE BACKED UP THERE? >> WELL, HUNDREDS.

>> THERE’S NO DOUBT. HUNDREDS. I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT THE PEOPLE HERE SO DESPERATELY NEED, FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, BUT ALSO WATER AND MEDICINES. THESE ARE THESE ARE THE ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS THAT ARE JUST SO DESPERATELY LACKING HERE. I MEAN WHERE I AM HERE IN RAFAH, IT’S NOT WHEN

YOU WALK OUT, IT’S HARD TO WALK AROUND. NOW SUCH IS THE THE DENSITY OF PEOPLE, PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS PEOPLE IN TENTS. IT’S COLD. IT’S BEEN RAINING AND, YOU KNOW, DRONES ABOVE THEM ALL THE TIME. THEY KNOW DRONES WILL POP DROP BOMBS. THIS TRAUMA UPON TRAUMA FOR PEOPLE HERE.

>> AND ALL RIGHT. TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE WITH REGARD TO THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES NOT BEING ABLE TO GET FOOD. AND NOW WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STARVATION. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FAMINE. I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT WE HAD AN INTERVIEW, AN ISRAELI OFFICIAL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO SAYING NOW THERE’S

THERE’S STARVATION GOING ON. >> TELL US WHAT YOU’RE SEEING. I KNOW IT’S — IT’S IT’S SOMETHING VERY, VERY PIECE BY PIECE AS ONE SORT OF SOUL, IF YOU WILL, CAROL. AND LOOK, TODAY, NOT ONCE, THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES, WOMEN MOMS WOULD HOLD MY HAND AND JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING

FORCED ON WATER, PARTICULARLY ASKED, PLEASE TELL THE WORLD WHAT’S HAPPENING TO US THERE. THEY’RE AFRAID THAT THAT THEIR VOICES ARE NOT BEING HEARD. I THINK THEY ARE, BUT I DON’T THINK THE RIGHT DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE. THERE’S A FEAR ON THE GROUND HERE OF BECAUSE OF DISEASE AND A LACK OF FOOD.

AND THERE’S ALWAYS A CONSTANT THREAT FROM THE SKIES. >> YOU KNOW, SPEAKING THE SKIES ,THE U.S. HAS CONDUCTED THESE AIRDROPS OF AID INTO GAZA. NOW, THERE’S THE CREATION OF THIS TEMPORARY PORT THAT’S BEING BUILT TO BRING IN FOOD SUPPLIES, WHATEVER IS NEEDED, YOU KNOW, BY WATER INTO THE AREA.

>> IS THAT MAKING A DIFFERENCE AT ALL? I THINK. IS IT ANY AID ANY AID? OF COURSE. BUT WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CLEAR. OTHERWISE IT IS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION AND THEN IT’S MAKING A NEGATIVE DIFFERENCE TO THE SHIP. >> RIGHT. BUT THAT WAS THE EQUIVALENT TO AROUND OR 13 TRUCKS.

AND AS WE SAY, I, I PASSED HUNDREDS YESTERDAY. >> SO IT REMAINS VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO AVOID MORE CHILDREN DYING, BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION, THEY ARE DYING OF DEHYDRATION HORRENDOUS WAYS FOR A CHILD TO DIE. THE ONLY WAYS TO GET THAT AID

THROUGH ON THE ROADS AND IN EXISTING AID IS A FEW MILES HERE, KYRA. THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER ENTRANCE POINTS THAT THE OCCUPYING POWER WITH A LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE POPULATION HAS SAFETY, THAT THEY DO ENSURE THERE IS NO FAMINE. WE ARE READY TO DELIVER THAT AID IF GIVEN THE CHANCE.

>> JUST SEEING THESE KIDS WITH THEIR WAITING THERE THROUGH THE THE METAL FENCE GET SOMETHING TO EAT. IT’S JUST HEART WRENCHING, ESPECIALLY AS A MOM. JAMES, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU’RE THERE IN RAFAH. >> ISRAEL IS SAID TO PREPARING YET ANOTHER LAUNCH AND OFFENSIVE THERE DESPITE INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY. THERE’S MORE THAN A MILLION

PALESTINIANS SHELTERING THERE IN RAFAH TRYING TO FLEE THE FIGHTING. >> CAN THEY, THOUGH? AND TELL ME WHAT UNICEF IS DOING RIGHT NOW TO JUST PREPARE FOR ALL THIS. SO I GLANCED AT THOSE IMAGES, TOO. AND THEN THEY ARE EVERYWHERE HERE. AND YOU’RE RIGHT. I MEAN, UNLESS YOU’RE YOU’RE

A HERE, THERE IS A GREAT CAN BE A GREAT SENSE OF FUTILITY TO THE SMALLEST CHILDREN. JUST JUST ASK FOR ANYTHING. AND AGAIN, TO KNOW IT’S SO CLOSE. THIS IS THE DESPERATION THESE LITTLE CHILDREN ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW. >> RAFAH, AS YOU RIGHTLY SAY, THAT HAS MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE.

>> RAFAH IS A CITY OF CHILDREN RAFAH, HAS TWICE THE POPULATION DENSITY OF NEW YORK CITY, BUT NO HIGH RISE AS EVERYONE IS LITERALLY ON THE GROUND. NO, THERE IS NOWHERE SAFE. WE’VE SEEN THAT I’VE NEVER SEEN IN MY TWO DECADES WITH THE UNITED NATIONS. I’VE NEVER SEEN THE DEVASTATION

THAT I SAW IN NEIGHBORING KHAN YUNIS TODAY. THEY CAN’T GO NORTH. TWO THIRDS OF MORE NOW, I GUESS, OF HOMES BEEN DESTROYED. THERE’S NOTHING TO RETURN TO. SO THE IDEA THAT THE PEOPLE CAN BE MOVED FROM A TO B, THEY HAVE MOVED. >> THEY HAVE MOVED THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE TIMES.

>> THEY’VE TAKEN THE AUTHORITIES WORD TO MOVE AND KEEP MOVING TO A SAFE ZONE. NOW THEY UNDERSTAND THERE IS NOWHERE SAFE. AN OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH IN THE CITY OF CHILDREN, WHERE NOW MORE THAN HALF OF GAZA’S POPULATION IS FIGHTING. FLEEING. NO, THAT’S THAT’S THAT’S APOCALYPTIC. I, I THINK EVERYONE

IS TERRIFIED BUT REALISTIC THAT THIS SOMEHOW MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. >> WELL, YOU HAVE POWER WITH YOUR INTERVIEWS, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR YOUR CELL PHONE AND SHOWING US THE IMAGES THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH US. PLEASE KEEP DOING THAT FOR US. JAMES ELDER, I WE ADMIRE WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

AND OF COURSE WHAT UNICEF ALWAYS DOES IN COUNTRIES AND CRISES LIKE THIS. APPRECIATE IT, JAMES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> SO WHO COULD EVER FORGET THOSE AFGHAN PEOPLE CLINGING U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FLEE THEIR COUNTRY WHEN WORD GOT OUT THAT U.S.

TROOPS WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN? THE TALIBAN AGAIN GAINING RULE AT THAT POINT. >> WE EVEN LOST U.S. GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED IN THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST. NOW, FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY AND CHAOTIC MILITARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THAT COUNTRY BACK IN

AUGUST OF 2021. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FOR SINCE RETIRING AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. THIS PAST SEPTEMBER AND THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF TOLD ABC NEWS THAT WORD DROP THAT WITHDRAWAL WAS A STRATEGIC FAILURE AND HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS. >> LET’S BRING IN OUR

JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE SO. J. DID MILLEY TALK ABOUT THOSE REGRETS AS HE TESTIFIED ON THIS AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT AND WHAT WAS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY? >> BUT BEFORE THE, YOU KNOW, VERSUS THE OTHER TIMES HE’S TALKED ABOUT THIS? >> WELL, WE’RE WAITING TO HEAR

EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS TO SAY, KYRA. >> HE’S GOING TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND OR RATHER, HE’S GOING TO SIT IN THE WITNESS AREA OF THIS HEARING ROOM ANY MINUTE NOW. WHY TODAY? TO YOUR POINT, THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THEY TOOK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN JANUARY OF 2023. THEY SAID THAT INVESTIGATING THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WAS A PRIORITY OF THEIRS AND NOW IT’S GONE DOWN THE LIST OF GOP PRIORITIES, AT LEAST THAT THEY TALK ABOUT PUBLICLY SINCE. BUT THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN BREWING IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS

COMMITTEE HAS EVEN HAD VERY TENSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT THREATENING AT ONE POINT TO HOLD THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS BECAUSE THEY WANTED DOCUMENTS FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY NOW APPARENTLY HAVE AN AGREEMENT FROM STATE TO GET. SO THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME.

MILLEY’S TESTIMONY HERE IS ONE ELEMENT OF IT. >> SO CAN WE EXPECT ANYTHING NEWSWORTHY TO COME OUT OF TODAY’S TESTIMONY, YOU THINK? >> WELL, IT’S INTERESTING BECAUSE MILLEY HAS SAID ON THE RECORD TO OUR OWN MARTHA RADDATZ THAT HE HAS REGRETS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN. AND SO YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS

HEARING THAT HE WILL COME CONSISTENTLY BACK TO THAT LINE. WHAT WE KNOW HOUSE REPUBLICANS WANT TO DO, WHAT THEY HAVE TELEGRAPHED THAT THEY’RE INTERESTED IN DOING, IS TRYING TO DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THOSE REGRETS THAT MILLEY HAS PUBLICLY EXPRESSED ABOUT HOW ALL THIS TRANSPIRED AND WHAT THEY SAY.

HOUSE SAY, WERE FAILURES OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN THEIR STATED GOAL THROUGH THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION. IT REALLY IS WHAT HANGS OVER THESE PROCEEDINGS. >> JAY O’BRIEN UP ON THE HILL FOR JAY. >> THANKS. WE’LL TRACK IT WITH YOU. COMING UP, YOU BOOKED YOUR TICKET TO PACK YOUR BAGS. YOU’RE READY TO GO.

IT’S EXPECTED TO BE THE BUSIEST SEASON IN HISTORY. THE TSA ANTICIPATING MORE THAN 70, 47 MILLION PASSENGERS WILL TRAVEL OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. THAT’S A 6% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR. THAT NEWS COMING AS GAS PRICES ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE RISE AS WELL. TRIPLE A REPORTING THE NATIONAL

PRICE FOR REGULAR WILL CLIMB TO 3.48 A GALLON ON MONDAY. THAT’S THE HIGHEST PRICE SINCE HALLOWEEN. BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS. THE DEEP IS MOVING OUT AND A WARM UP IS IN THE WORKS. OUR EXTREME WEATHER TEAM TRACKING IT ALL FOR US, BEGINNING WITH OUR TREVOR AULT AT NEWARK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

>> HEY, TREVOR. HEY, KYRA. ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING STRETCH OF TRAVEL ON DECK, THIS TIME FOR SPRING BREAK. FACT. TSA SAYS JUST ON SUNDAY THEY SCREEN MORE THAN 2.7 MILLION PASSENGERS AT AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT’S A NUMBER THAT THEY HADN’T HIT SINCE THE DAYS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

IN FACT, OVER THE PAST TEN DAYS OR SO, THEY’VE BEEN SEEING THE NUMBERS THAT THEY WOULD USUALLY SEE DURING THE BUSIEST STRETCH OF TRAVEL IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. NEXT WEEK IS EXPECTED TO BE EVEN BUSIER OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. TSA SAYS THEY’RE ANTICIPATING 47 MILLION PASSENGERS.

THAT’S A 6% INCREASE FROM THE SAME TIMEFRAME LAST YEAR. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS AT SO FAR, THE AIRLINES, THE TSA LINES, THEY DO SEEM TO BE KEEPING. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DRIVING FOR THEIR SPRING BREAK TRAVELS.

THAT RISE IN DEMAND DOES ALSO COINCIDE WITH A RISE IN GAS PRICES. WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THAT AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OVER THE PAST MONTH. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF GAS IS UP ABOUT $0.20 THIS MORNING. TODAY, $3.48 A GALLON FOR THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. AND TRIPOLI DOES EXPECT IT

TO CLIMB AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF THE WARMER WEATHER AND ALSO BECAUSE OF MORE EXPENSIVE SUMMER GAS BLENDS KYRA. >> TREVOR, THANKS SO MUCH. AS A METEOROLOGIST, SOMARA THEODORE. NOW, SOME GOOD NEWS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. THOSE COLD TEMPS FINALLY MOVING OUT, RIGHT?

BUT NOW THE CITY IS WARNING ABOUT ANOTHER RISE IN MEASLES CASES IN THE U.S.. OUR REENA ROY TELLS US ABOUT THAT. COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE UPTICK IS HAPPENING NOT JUST HERE HOME, BUT ALSO ABROAD. >> MEASLES ON THE RISE AROUND THE GLOBE. THE CDC WARNING OF AN INCREASE IN CASES AND OUTBREAKS HERE

ONE INFECTED PERSON CAN INFECT NINE OUT OF TEN UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. OFFICIALS SAY 93% OF THE CASES THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN LINKED TO INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, MOSTLY

SCHEDULE.

FIRST ON ABC NEWS LIVE, A SUPREME COURT GIVING TEXAS POLICE, THE POWER TO ARREST MIGRANTS. WE’VE THE LATEST ON THE CONTROVERSY IMMIGRATION LAW THIS HOUR. PRIMARY FOCUS ALL EYES ON OHIO SENATE RACE AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE BALANCE OF POWER IN WASHINGTON. AND RAGE OVER TRUMP’S REVOLTING COMMENTS ABOUT JEWISH VOTERS.

WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE. A FORMER TRUMP ADVISER NOW BEHIND BARS PETER NAVARRO DEFIANT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS, HIS FINAL WORDS BEFORE BEING CARTED OFF TO PRISON. AND STARVATION IS STALKING CHILDREN IN GAZA. THE DESPERATE NEED FOR FOOD AND MEDICAL AID. AS ISRAEL NOW PREPARES FOR A PLANNED OFFENSIVE.

WHY THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS AN ATTACK WOULD BE A MISTAKE RIGHT NOW. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. I’M TERRY MORAN. AND WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS OUT OF THE SUPREME COURT. THE JUSTICES RULING THAT FOR TEXAS CAN GIVE LOCAL POLICE AND, STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT POWER TO ARREST MIGRANTS.

THE STATE LAW KNOWN AS SB FOUR ALSO ALLOWS STATE JUDGES ORDER PEOPLE DEPORTED TO MEXICO. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD SUED TO BLOCK LAW, SAYING THAT IT TRAMPLED ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES ROOTED IN THE CONSTITUTION. >> LEADING OFF THIS HOUR, OUR SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT DEVIN DWYER.

DAN, LET’S BREAK DOWN THE RULING AND HAVE IS THIS SET THE STAGE FOR CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN TEXAS NOW? WELL, THIS WILL BE A DRAMATIC SEA CHANGE IN ENFORCEMENT AT THE BORDER IN TEXAS, KYRA. THIS WILL, AS TERRI SAID, ALLOW STATE LAW, POLICE, SHERIFFS, STATE PATROL TO ARREST, DETAIN

MIGRANTS AS THEY COME ACROSS, USURPING AND OVERRIDING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES WHO ARE TASKED WITH DOING THE VERY SAME THING. TYPICALLY, AS YOU KNOW, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEADS THE CHARGE IN BORDER ENFORCEMENT, BUT TEXAS TAKING MATTERS INTO ITS OWN HANDS WITH THIS LAW. A DISTRICT COURT STRUCK IT DOWN AS LIKELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL

AND PUT IT ON HOLD. BUT TODAY IN A PROCEDURAL DECISION, KYRA, THE SUPREME COURT SAID IT CAN GO FORWARD FOR NOW. TEXAS CAN BEGIN TO ENFORCE THIS LAW, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE FINAL WORD. THE DECISION WAS 6 TO 3 CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES. AMY CONEY BARRETT AND BRAD KAVANAUGH SAID.

THEY WOULDN’T GET AHEAD OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT. THAT’S THE APPEALS COURT HERE. WHO HAS THE DECISION, HAS THE ABILITY TO PUT THIS ON HOLD THAT’S STILL PENDING. SO THAT STILL COULD COME. BUT THREE LIBERAL JUSTICES MINCING NO WORDS. >> JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR INVITING DISSENT, SAID THAT THIS WILL NOW INVITE CHAOS

AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER. IT WILL UP END LAW ENFORCEMENT THERE. IT WILL INTERFERE WITH FOREIGN DIPLOMACY. OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES ENFORCEMENT WITH MEXICO AND COULD EVEN COST CITIES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR NOW, HAVING TO BUILD JAILS AND PROSECUTE MIGRANTS THAT THEY DETAIN. SO POTENTIALLY A BIG CHANGE HERE.

BUT IT’S NOT LAST WORD. AND I LOOK TO SEE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS OR EVEN A WEEK HERE TO SEE WHETHER THE FIFTH CIRCUIT DOES JUMP IN AND PUT IT ON HOLD. YEAH, IT’S A WEIRD MOMENT IN THIS CASE, ISN’T IT? THE SUPREME THE CONSERVATIVES

SAY WE DON’T WANT TO REACH OVER THE APPEALS COURT, GRAB THIS CASE, LOWER DOWN WHILE APPEALS COURT IS THINKING WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A STAY TO HALT THIS WHILE THEY CONSIDER IT. AND IN FACT, AMY CONEY BARRETT, THE JUSTICE CONEY BARRETT, SAYS THE APPLICANTS MAY RETURN TO THIS COURT IF.

THEY DON’T GET THE RESULT THEY WANT. THAT SAID, THIS IS KIND OF REMINISCENT OF WHAT THE SUPREME COURT, THE CONSERVATIVES ON THE COURT DID WITH ABORTION. REMEMBER THAT TEXAS PASSED A LAW WHICH WAS FLAGRANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER ROE VERSUS WADE. AND THE JUSTICES, CONSERVATIVE JUDGES ALLOWED THAT TO GO INTO EFFECT.

AND THAT, I THINK, IS WHAT JUSTICE SO EXERCISED. ABSOLUTELY. SB EIGHT, THAT EXTRAORDINARY LAW TO LET EVERYDAY CITIZENS IN TEXAS ENFORCE ABORTION BANS AGAINST THEIR NEIGHBORS. THE SUPREME COURT LET TAKE EFFECT. AND SO TODAY, AS YOU POINTED OUT, WE’RE SEEING A SIMILAR APPROACH BY THE SUPREME COURT. BUT AGAIN, JUST TO EMPHASIZE

HERE, YES THIS COULD BE A CHAOTIC AND MESSY MOMENT AT THE BORDER. WHILE TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO GETS TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE LAWS. BUT AGAIN, VERY CLEAR THAT THIS ISN’T THE LAST WORD. THOSE TWO CONSERVATIVES, BARRETT AND KAVANAUGH, POINTING OUT THAT AS THIS SHAKES OUT THE APPEALS COURT, THEY EXPECT

SOME OF THESE ISSUES TO COME BACK TO THEM. AND WE MAY WELL SEE JUST IN THE NEXT FEW, TERRY, IF IF THAT DOES HAPPEN. >> DEVIN DWYER, THANKS SO MUCH. AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO TURN TO THE RACE FOR THE WHITE AND OTHER SEATS IN CONGRESS. THERE ARE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES, THOSE PRIMARIES FOR

SENATE AND OTHER THINGS TAKING PLACE IN ARIZONA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, KANSAS AND OHIO. >> PRESIDENTIAL RACE COURSE IS OVER IN THESE TWO PARTIES SINCE BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE ALREADY GOT ENOUGH DELEGATES TO BE THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE OF THEIR PARTY. THAT’S RIGHT. JOE BIDEN IS CAMPAIGNING

IN NEVADA, NEVADA, AND TRUMP AS WELL. HIS MOUTH JUST KEEPS GETTING HIM IN TROUBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE BACKLASH ACTUALLY STARTED AFTER TRUMP SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK THAT MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE SHOULD BE IN JAIL. BUT HOLD ON A SECOND. IT GOT WORSE. HE ATTACKED JEWISH VOTERS,

SAYING THAT JEWS WHO VOTE FOR DEMOCRAT THAT’S HATE THEIR RELIGION AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. LET’S BRING IN OUR POLITICAL DIRECTOR, RICK KLEIN, WHO’S BEEN FOLLOWING ALL THE REVOLTING RHETORIC. SO, RICK, AT WHAT POINT IN THIS CAMPAIGN DOES THE FORMER PRESIDENT FACE CONSEQUENCES, IF ANY AT THE POLLS FOR THINGS

LIKE THIS? I MEAN, JUST THE THINGS THAT HE SAYS MEAN HE SURE MAKES HEADLINES. >> WELL, HE’S GOT TO STOP ASKING ME THE EASY QUESTIONS LIKE THAT. I MEAN, HE COULD WE COULD FIGURE THAT OUT. AFTER TEN YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP ON THE NATIONAL STAGE, IT’S WORTH REMEMBERING IS HE

HAS SAID OUTRAGEOUS THINGS MANY, MANY TIMES BEFORE, HAS HAD REALLY NO INFLUENCE ON HIS POLLING NUMBERS. >> I WOULD KNOW, THOUGH, WE’RE IN DIFFERENT PHASE RIGHT NOW WITH THE CAMPAIGN. >> WE’RE MOVING PAST THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES AS TERRY JUST NOTED, THE PRIMARIES ARE ESSENTIALLY OVER IN GENERAL ELECTION MODE.

AND THAT MAY MEAN THAT OR REFLECT REFRACTED THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. BUT HE HAS SAID LOTS OF THINGS BEFORE, AND IT DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED HIS SUPPORT VERY MUCH. AND, RICK, SO THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, YOU KNOW, IT CONTINUES TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT TRUMP’S ERRATIC COMMENTS SPRING AS DO WE.

>> WE JUST SPREAD THEM. >> RIGHT. AND THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS. BUT THEY’RE ALSO KIND OF PLAYING A MUCH MORE TRADITIONAL CAMPAIGN. >> HE’S GOT A DAY WHERE HE’S EMPHASIZING ALL THE STUFF THAT THAT HE’S DONE FOR WOMEN. HE’S TRYING TO REACH OUT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY ON THE SAME BASIS.

SO WE HAVE THIS KIND OF POST-MODERN CAMPAIGN THAT TRUMP IS SAYING WHERE HE WHERE RUNNING WHEN HE JUST SAYS ANYTHING. RIGHT. HE’S JUST PURE IN OUTCOMES. >> AND THEN WE HAVE THIS VERY OLD FASHIONED CAMPAIGN THAT BIDEN’S RUNNING. >> HOW DO YOU WHO’S GOING TO WIN? NO QUESTION.

YES, A GOOD THERE’S ANOTHER EASY QUESTION FOR YOU. YEAH, WE’RE TWO FOR TWO GUYS. LOOK, I THINK I THINK I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. THERE’S A TWIST HERE ON AT ALL, WHICH IS THAT MOST OF THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN ACTUALLY ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID AND HAS DONE AND DO.

AGAIN, THAT IS THE CRUX OF WHAT WE SAW AT THE STATE OF THE UNION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WHICH WAS THE VERY POLITICAL STATE OF THE UNION. AND YOU SEE IT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. YES, HE’S BRAGGING ABOUT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND MOSTLY HE’S CONTRASTING WHAT HE WOULD

DO WITH VERSUS WHAT TRUMP WOULD DO. AND THAT’S THE POINT OF THIS. NOW, WHETHER IT’S ON THE RIGHT CALL OR NOT, WHETHER PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST AGAINST SOMEONE OR FOR SOMEONE ALMOST DOESN’T MATTER IN THE END. BUT THAT IS WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT. >> YOU’RE RIGHT. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THESE

TWO MEN COULD NOT BE MORE STARK . THANK YOU, RICK. WELL, A MOMENT NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE. THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER REPORTING TO PRISON FOR HIS ROLE IN DEADLY INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL TODAY, PETER NAVARRO TURNED IN TO A FEDERAL CORRECTIONS FACILITY IN MIAMI AND HE’LL NOW SPEND MONTHS BEHIND BARS FOR DEFYING

THAT SUBPOENA FROM THE NOW DEFUNCT HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE. SO HE’S GOING INTO PRISON FOR CONTEMPT, OF COURSE. OF COURSE. NAVARRO SLAMMED THIS SENTENCE. HE CALLED HIS CONVICTION, QUOTE, AN UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS. I AM NOT NERVOUS. I’VE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM DONALD

TRUMP AND HIS TEAM. AND HE HE UNDERSTOOD THEY CAN PUT ME IN PRISON. THEY CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS. THEY ARE COMING AFTER DONALD TRUMP WITH THE SAME TACTICS, TOOLS AND STRATEGIES THEY USED TO PUT ME OVER THERE TODAY.

>> SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS ON THIS STORY. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG SAGA FOR PETER NAVARRO. HE IS NOW, DESPITE ALL HIS EFFORTS, HEADED TO PRISON. HE’S IN PRISON ONE OF TRUMP’S CLOSEST ADVISERS. >> HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS? WELL, IT’S EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, THIS IS THE FIRST FORMER

TRUMP ADVISER TO HAVE TO REPORT TO PRISON FOR ACTIONS STEMMING FROM JANUARY, SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE JANUARY 6 CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE FOR CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS. SO CLEARLY BECOMING, THE FIRST FORMER ADVISER TO WALK IN THERE TODAY, TERRY, IT’S UNLIKELY THAT HE WILL ANSWER THAT FOR FOUR MONTHS.

HE COULD GET OUT EARLY, BUT THE UPDATE IS THAT NOW HE IS IN PRISON IN MIAMI. WELL, NAVARRO MENTIONED BANNON’S CONTEMPT TO STEVE BANNON’S CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CASE AND HOW HE WAS ALLOWED TO REMAIN FREE FROM WHILE HE APPEALS HIS CASE. WHAT’S THE LATEST THERE AND WHY DO YOU THINK THERE’S

A DIFFERENCE? RIGHT. WELL, THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO. WITH BANNON, WE KNOW THAT THE APPEALS COURT HAS HEARD ARGUMENTS THIS WE’RE ESSENTIALLY WAITING FOR THE APPEALS COURT TO MAKE A DECISION. THEY HEARD ARGUMENTS A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. SO THEN BANNON’S APPEAL WILL GO FROM THERE. AND WITH NAVARRO, EVEN THOUGH

HE IS REPORTING TO PRISON TODAY, WE STILL EXPECT NAVARRO AND HIS LEGAL TEAM TO GO THROUGH THE APPEALS PROCESS. OF COURSE, THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY WILL DO THAT WHEN HE’S IN PRISON. BANNON REMAINS FREE. I CAN’T REMEMBER. ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANKS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU WILL SEND

A DELEGATION HERE TO WASHINGTON BY NEXT WEEK FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC WARNING YET, URGING ISRAEL TO PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE SO MANY GAZANS HAVE FLED FOR REFUGE. ABOUT A MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS HAVE NO HOME OR ANY PLACE TO GO, SO

THEY’RE SHELTERING THERE FLEEING THE FIGHTING FROM THE NORTH. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE JOINS NOW FROM LONDON. SO, TOM, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS MEETING NOW IN D.C. WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALSO ISRAELI THIS ISRAELI DELEGATION. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS. >> IS IT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE?

I THINK IT’S AN ABSOLUTELY MOMENT FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT. RIGHT NOW. >> AND THAT’S BECAUSE THERE IS SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES, NORMALLY THE CLOSEST OF ALLIES, BUT THERE’S CLEAR TENSIONS AND THAT IS BECAUSE ISRAEL WANTS TO GO INTO RAFAH.

AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAYING THERE IS NO WORLD IN WHICH IT WOULD NOT GO INTO RAFAH. THE QUESTION IS WHEN IT WOULD GO IN. AND OF COURSE, THE REASON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS URGING AND URGING THE ISRAELIS NOT TO GO IN UNLESS THEY HAVE CREDIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT THE CIVILIAN POPULATION.

>> THAT IS BECAUSE THERE’S MORE THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS PACKED INTO THAT SOUTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP. AND TO BE HONEST, AT THE MOMENT, WE HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH EVIDENCE FROM THE ISRAELI THAT THERE IS A CREDIBLE PLAN. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THEY HAVEN’T SEEN A PLAN.

THE ISRAELIS SAY THEY WOULD MOVE CIVILIANS TO A SORT OF HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS IN THE NORTH OF GAZA, BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW THEY WOULD ACTUALLY ACHIEVE THAT. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. AND SO THIS MEETING, AN ATTEMPT, MAYBE A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO TRY AND FIND COMMON GROUND GROUND.

AND THE ISRAELIS SAY THEY ARE WILLING TO LISTEN TO IDEAS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ABOUT HOW THEY CAN MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF A POSSIBLE INCURSION INTO RAFAH ON THE GROUND BECAUSE TOP OF THE OF THE HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE THAT’S UNFOLDING THERE AND IS CERTAINLY LOOKING LIKE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE UNITED STATES, IF

PEOPLE WHEN PERHAPS PEOPLE START STARVING TO DEATH AND GIVEN THE DEATH TOLL AND THE CONTINUING WAR AFTER SIX MONTHS, NOW THAT IT SEEMS LIKELY TO HELP BY TAPPING. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS U.N. REPORT THAT BASICALLY OUTLINES HOW DIRE THE SITUATION YOU’VE BEEN THERE? YOU KNOW, CAN THE UNITED

STATES MOVE ISRAEL AT ALL OR ARE WE FACING THAT CATASTROPHE? WELL, THIS U.N. REPORT IS PRETTY STARK, TERRY. I MEAN, IT’S BASICALLY SAYING THAT THE NORTH OF GAZA, THAT IS WHERE IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO GET AID INTO CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS BY THE ISRAELIS. THEY SAY THEY HAVE TO CHECK

THE AID. THEY SAY THAT A LOT OF THE AID GOES INTO THE HANDS OF HAMAS, BUT THEY HAVE AN OPENED A CROSSING POINT INTO THE NORTH OF THE GAZA STRIP. THE U.S. WANTS TO HAPPEN, BUT THEY SUPPORT REPORTS SAYING THAT THE NORTH IS ON THE BRINK OF FAMINE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A

MILLION PEOPLE, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PEOPLE IN THE NORTH POTENTIALLY MILLION PEOPLE, WHERE REALLY LEVELS OF FOOD INSECURITY ARE HIGH, SAYS THE UN. CHILDREN HAVE ALREADY DIED OF MALNOURISHMENT, ACCORDING TO THE UN. AND REALLY THE WARNING IS THAT THOSE NUMBERS OF CHILDREN COULD SKYROCKET IF THERE ISN’T A CEASE FIRE OR AT LEAST

MORE ENTRY POINTS FOR TRUCKS TO GET INTO GAZA. >> RIGHT NOW. TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE. THANK YOU. BACK HERE, OUR NATION’S CAPITAL, WE’RE REMEMBERING THOSE DESPERATE AFGHAN PEOPLE CLINGING TO MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THAT RUNWAY TRYING TO FLEE THE COUNTRY. WHEN WORD GOT OUT THAT U.S. TROOPS WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN AND THE TALIBAN

AGAIN WAS BACK RULING THE COUNTRY. WE EVEN LOST TROOPS GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED. AND THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST BOMBING. NOW, FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS TESTIFYING BEFORE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY CHAOTIC MILITARY WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IN AUGUST 2021. IS TESTIFYING. CONGRESS IS GOING TO BE

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FOR. >> MILLEY SINCE HE RETIRED AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, THIS PAST SEPTEMBER. THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN TOLD ABC NEWS THE WITHDRAWAL WAS A, QUOTE, STRATEGIC FAILURE AND HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS ABOUT IT. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS

JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE SO JAKE. >> MARK MILLEY HAS TESTIFIED THAT THE AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT WAS A CATASTROPHE BEFORE. WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY? FIRST OFF, THE DIFFERENCE. IT COMES AS THERE WAS THIS ONGOING HOUSE REPUBLICAN LED INVESTIGATION THAT’S BEEN GOING ON SINCE JANUARY 2023 INTO THE AFGHANISTAN.

NOW, IN TERMS OF WHAT MILLEY IS SAYING TODAY, IT’S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT. WHAT HE TOLD OUR MARTHA RADDATZ, AS YOU NOTED, WHAT IS ALSO SAID IN OTHER FORUMS PUBLICLY BEFORE, WHICH IS HE HAS SERIOUS REGRETS ABOUT, THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL, THAT THERE WERE A SERIES OF STRATEGIC FAILURES. LINE THAT HE SAID TODAY

THAT OTHER U.S. OFFICIALS HAVE SAID BEFORE BUT IS INSTRUCTIVE TO THE GENERAL THEME OF THIS HEARING IS THAT THE U.S. HAD DUMPED SIGNIFICANT MILITARY RESOURCES INTO AFGHANISTAN. THAT TRIED TO PROP UP THE STATE, BUT ULTIMATELY THEY COULD NOT, QUOTE UNQUOTE, FORGE A NATION. AND THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE

SWIFT OR TO ME, THE SWIFT CASCADING EFFECT AT TALIBAN STARTED TO GAIN GROUND AND AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES COLLAPSE AMID THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL. >> SO, JAY, ANY REGRETS FROM THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS CHAIR? WELL, GENERALLY, ONE OF THE REGRETS, OR RATHER ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT HE SAYS HE HAS

WITH THE OVERALL WITHDRAWAL IS THE LACK OF A U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE. EVEN A SMALL CONTINGENT OF U.S. FORCES THAT COULD HAVE HELPED AFGHAN SECURITY HOLD ON TO SOME KIND OF A GROUND AS THE TALIBAN WAS PICKING UP STEAM AND GAINING GROUND. HERE’S A LITTLE BIT MILLEY ON THAT SUBJECT AND OTHERS

WILL WITH THAT FOR THE REST OF THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. >> THERE’S NO MILITARY LEADER WHO’S LOST TROOPS IN COMBAT. HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT FEELING. SO THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME, AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO ENSURE THAT THESE FAMILIES AND ALL OF OUR VETERANS AND FAMILIES KNOW

THE TRUTH AND HAVE THE ANSWERS . >> AND REMEMBER, THERE’S ONE MORE THING TO NOTE HERE. THERE IS. WELL, WHAT MILLEY WAS REFERRING TO IS A VERY SOLEMN MOMENT OF THOSE FALLEN TROOPS AT THE END OF THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. THERE IS POLITICS THAT HANGS OVER THIS. THERE IS THIS BLAME GOING

ON WHERE REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE ARE TRYING TO LAY THE BLAME ON THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWALS, FAILURES AT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S FEET. DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IT’S THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S FAULT. WHAT MILLEY AND THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL TESTIFYING THERE, THE FORMER COMMANDER OF U.S. COMMERCE, IS THAT IT’S A

SERIES OF FAILURES OVER THE COURSE OF A SERIES OF ADMINISTRATIONS THAT GOT THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE. >> JAY O’BRIEN FOR US ON THE HILL. >> JAY, THANKS. AND COMING UP, THEY WERE SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES. THEY WERE ALSO TORTURERS. NOW THEY’RE FACING JUSTICE FOR THE UNTHINKABLE HORRORS THEY INFLICTED ON TWO BLACK MEN .

NOW THE FIRST OF THE SIX WHITE SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES WHO COMMITTED THOSE HORRENDOUS CRIMES WERE SENTENCED TODAY IN MISSISSIPPI. IN MISSISSIPPI.

YOU KNOW, TERRY, YOU SAY STOMACH CHURNING. THAT’S A PERFECT WAY TO TURN THAT. THIS IS IT. IT WOULD BE HARD TO BELIEVE IF IT WASN’T TRUE. THIS HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2023 WHEN RANKIN COUNTY DEPUTY BRAD MCALPIN GOT A RACIST CALL COMPLAINING, COMPLAINING THE TWO BLACK MEN WERE STAYING

WITH A WHITE WOMAN AT A HOME IN BRAXTON, MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, AND THEN TEXTED ANOTHER DEPUTY WHO REACHED OUT TO OTHERS, PART OF THAT SO-CALLED GOON SQUAD. >> YOU, YOU ALL SIX HAVE PLEADED GUILTY TO A SLEW OF STATE AND FEDERAL CHARGES STEMMING FROM WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. >> THEY ENTERED THAT HOME

WITHOUT WARRANT. ONCE INSIDE, THEY HANDCUFFED THE TWO MEN, MICHAEL JENKINS PARKER, BOTH IN THEIR THIRTIES, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THEM WITH A TOY, POURED MILK, ALCOHOL, CHOCOLATE, SIRUP ALL OVER THEIR FACES INTO THEIR MOUTHS, MOCKED THEM WITH RACIAL SLURS, SHOT WITH STUN GUNS. >> EVENTUALLY, ONE OF THE DEPUTIES, HUNTER AYLWARD,

STUCK A GUN IN MICHAEL JENKINS MOUTH, PULLED THE TRIGGER, SHATTERING JAW AND NEARLY KILLING HIM. THEY THEN PLANTED A GUN AND DRUGS AND TRIED TO COVER UP THEIR ATTACK BY BLAMING THE TWO VICTIMS WHO THEN FOR MONTHS ACTUALLY FACED FALSE CHARGES THEMSELVES. >> AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE’RE SITTING HERE HAVING

FROM THE VICTIMS. >> SO IS THERE ANY PRESSURE ON, ANYONE HERE TO RESIGN? >> WELL, THERE IS. THERE’S A TON OF PRESSURE. >> BUT IN ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION, IT’S — IT’S UNFORTUNATELY NOT JUST THIS

INCIDENTS. THERE HAVE BEEN PAST ALLEGATIONS OF EXCESSIVE FORCE BY THIS DEPARTMENT STILL RANK AND COUNTY SHERIFF BRIAN BAILEY SAYS HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE AND DESPITE PRESSURE BY LOCAL ACTIVISTS AND THERE IS A LOT AND NAACP HE SAYS HE WILL NOT STEP DOWN. FEDERAL JUDGE IN THIS CASE WILL SENTENCE TWO DEFENDANTS

WHAT HE DID, BUT HE WAS HAPPY THAT TURNED AROUND AND ACTUALLY ADDRESSED HIM AND LOOKED AT HIM AND HE SAID SAW ME IN COURT. >> WOW. PHIL LIPOFF APPRECIATE IT. WELL, WE’LL, OF COURSE, FOLLOW THE CASE UNTIL THE END. SO THEY ARE CUNNING CRIMINALS, ABUSING OUR VISA LAWS, LANDING

SENATE RACE AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE BALANCE OF POWER IN WASHINGTON. AND RAGE OVER TRUMP’S REVOLTING COMMENTS ABOUT JEWISH VOTERS. WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE STATE OF THE RACE. A FORMER TRUMP ADVISER BEHIND BARS, PETER NAVARRO, DEFIANT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS. HIS FINAL BEFORE BEING CARTED OFF TO PRISON AND STARVED

AND IS STALKING CHILDREN IN GAZA. THE DESPERATE NEED FOR FOOD, FUEL AND MEDICAL AID. AS ISRAEL NOW PREPARES FOR A PLANNED OFFENSIVE. WHILE THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS AN ATTACK WOULD BE A MISTAKE NOW. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. AND I’M TERRY MORAN. AND WE BEGIN BREAKING NEWS OUT OF THE SUPREME COURT.

THE JUSTICES RULING THAT FOR NOW, TEXAS CAN GIVE LOCAL POLICE AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT POWER TO ARREST MIGRANTS. THE STATE LAW KNOWN AS SB FOUR, ALSO ALLOWS STATE JUDGES TO ORDER PEOPLE DEPORTED TO MEXICO. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD SUED TO BLOCK THIS, SAYING THAT IT TRAMPLED ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S EXCLUSIVE

AUTHORITY ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES ROOTED IN THE CONSTITUTION. LEADING US THIS HOUR, OUR SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT, DEVIN DWYER DANIEL. LET’S BREAK DOWN THE RULING. AND HOW DOES THIS SET THE STAGE FOR CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN TEXAS? WELL, THIS WILL BE A DRAMATIC SEA CHANGE IN ENFORCEMENT

AT THE BORDER IN TEXAS, KYRA. THIS WILL, AS TERRI SAID, ALLOW STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT, POLICE, SHERIFFS, STATE PATROL TO ARREST AND MIGRANTS AS THEY COME ACROSS USURPING AND OVERRIDING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES WHO ARE TASKED WITH DOING THE VERY THING. TYPICALLY, AS YOU KNOW, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEADS THE CHARGE IN BORDER

ENFORCEMENT, BUT TEXAS TAKING MATTERS INTO ITS OWN HANDS WITH THIS. A DISTRICT COURT STRUCK DOWN IS LIKELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND PUT IT ON HOLD. BUT TODAY IN A PROCEDURAL DECISION, KYRA, THE SUPREME COURT SAID IT CAN GO FORWARD FOR NOW TEXAS, CAN BEGIN TO ENFORCE THIS LAW, ALTHOUGH

IT IS NOT THE FINAL WORD. THE DECISION WAS 6 TO 3 CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES. AMY CONEY BARRETT AND BRAD KAVANAUGH SAID. THEY WOULDN’T GET AHEAD OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT. THAT’S THE APPEALS COURT HERE. WHO HAS THE DECISION, HAS THE ABILITY TO PUT THIS ON HOLD THAT’S STILL PENDING. SO THAT STILL COULD COME.

BUT THE THREE LIBERAL JUSTICES MINCING NO WORDS. JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR, ANY BITING DISSENT, SAID THAT THIS WILL NOW INVITE AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER. IT WILL UPEND LAW ENFORCEMENT. IT WILL INTERFERE WITH FOREIGN DIPLOMACY BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES ENFORCEMENT WITH MEXICO AND COULD EVEN COST CITIES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR NOW,

HAVING TO BUILD JAILS AND PROSECUTE MIGRANTS THAT THEY DETAIN. SO POTENTIALLY A BIG CHANGE HERE. BUT IT’S NOT THE LAST WORD. AND I LOOK TO SEE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS OR EVEN WEEK HERE TO SEE WHETHER THE FIFTH CIRCUIT DOES JUMP IN AND PUT IT HOLD. YEAH, IT’S A WEIRD MOMENT

IN THIS CASE, ISN’T IT? THE SUPREME COURT, THE CONSERVATIVES SAY WE DON’T WANT TO REACH OVER THE APPEALS COURT, GRAB THIS CASE, LOWER DOWN. WHILE THE APPEALS COURT IS THINKING WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A STAY TO HALT THIS WHILE THEY CONSIDER IT AND IN FACT, AMY CONEY BARRETT, THE JUSTICE

CONEY BARRETT, SAYS THE APPLICANTS MAY RETURN TO THIS COURT IF DON’T GET THE RESULT THEY WANT. THAT SAID, THIS IS KIND OF REMINISCENT OF WHAT THE SUPREME COURT, THE CONSERVATIVES ON THE COURT DID WITH ABORTION. REMEMBER THAT TEXAS PASSED A LAW WHICH WAS FLAGRANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER ROE VERSUS WADE, AND THE

JUSTICES, CONSERVATIVE JUDGES ALLOWED THAT TO GO INTO EFFECT. AND THAT, I THINK, IS WHY THAT JUSTICE SO EXERCISED. ABSOLUTELY. SB EIGHT, THAT EXTRAORDINARY THAT LET EVERYDAY CITIZENS IN TEXAS ENFORCE ABORTION BANS AGAINST THEIR NEIGHBORS. THE SUPREME COURT LET THAT EFFECT. AND SO TODAY, AS YOU POINTED OUT, WE’RE SEEING A SIMILAR

APPROACH BY THIS SUPREME COURT. BUT AGAIN, JUST TO EMPHASIZE HERE, YES THIS COULD BE A CHAOTIC AND MESSY MOMENT AT THE BORDER. WHILE TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO GETS TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE LAWS. BUT AGAIN, VERY CLEAR THAT THIS ISN’T THE LAST WORD, THOSE TWO CONSERVATIVES, BARRETT AND KAVANAUGH POINTING OUT

THAT AS THIS SHAKES OUT AT THE APPEALS COURT, THEY EXPECT SOME OF THESE ISSUES TO COME BACK TO THEM. AND WE MAY WELL SEE JUST IN THE NEXT FEW, TERRY, IF IF THAT DOES HAPPEN. DEVIN DWYER, THANKS SO MUCH. AND NOW WE’RE GOING TO TURN TO THE RACE FOR THE WHITE

AND OTHER SEATS IN CONGRESS. THERE ARE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES, ALSO PRIMARIES FOR SENATE AND OTHER THINGS TAKING PLACE IN ARIZONA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS, KANSAS AND OHIO. >> PRESIDENTIAL RACE COURSE IS OVER IN THESE TWO PARTIES SINCE BOTH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE ALREADY GOT ENOUGH DELEGATES TO BE THE PRESUMPTIVE

NOMINEE OF THEIR PARTY. THAT’S RIGHT. SO BIDEN IS CAMPAIGNING IN NEVADA AND NEVADA AND TRUMP’S WELL, HIS MOUTH JUST KEEPS GETTING HIM IN TROUBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE BACKLASH ACTUALLY STARTED AFTER TRUMP SAID ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK THAT MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE SHOULD PUT IN JAIL.

BUT HOLD ON A SECOND. IT GOT WORSE. HE ALSO JEWISH VOTERS SAYING THAT JEWS WHO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS HATE THEIR RELIGION AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. LET’S BRING IN OUR POLITICAL DIRECTOR, RICK KLEIN. HE’S BEEN FOLLOWING ALL THE REVOLTING. SO, RICK, AT WHAT POINT IN THIS CAMPAIGN DOES THE FORMER

PRESIDENT FACE CONSEQUENCES, IF ANY, AT THE POLLS FOR THINGS LIKE THIS? I MEAN, JUST THE THAT HE SAYS I MEAN, HE SURE MAKES HEADLINES. >> HE’S GOT STOP ASKING ME THE EASY QUESTIONS LIKE THAT. I MEAN, HE COULD WE COULD FIGURE THAT OUT. AFTER TEN YEARS OF DONALD TRUMP ON THE NATIONAL STAGE,

IT’S WORTH REMEMBERING, HE HAS SAID OUTRAGEOUS THINGS MANY, MANY TIMES BEFORE. IS THAT REALLY NO INFLUENCE ON HIS POLLING NUMBERS. >> I WOULD NOTE, THOUGH, WE’RE IN A DIFFERENT PHASE RIGHT NOW WITH THE CAMPAIGN. >> WE’RE MOVING PAST THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES AS TERRY NOTED, THE PRIMARIES ARE ESSENTIALLY OVER.

WE’RE IN GENERAL ELECTION MODE. AND THAT MAY MEAN THAT COMMENTS REFLECT REFRACTED THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. BUT HE HAS SAID LOTS OF THINGS BEFORE AND IT DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE CHANGED HIS SUPPORT VERY MUCH. AND, RICK, SO THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, YOU KNOW, IT CONTINUES TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT TRUMP’S ERRATIC COMMENTS SPRING

AS DO WE. >> WE JUST SPREAD THEM. >> RIGHT. AND THAT’S WHAT HE WANTS. BUT THEY’RE ALSO KIND OF PLAYING A MUCH MORE CAMPAIGN. HE’S GOT A DAY WHERE HE’S EMPHASIZING ALL THE GOOD STUFF THAT THAT HE’S DONE FOR WOMEN. HE’S TRIED TO REACH OUT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY ON THE SAME

BASIS. SO WE HAVE THIS KIND OF POST-MODERN CAMPAIGN THAT TRUMP IS WHAT HE WAS RUNNING, WHERE HE JUST SAYS ANYTHING, RIGHT. HE’S JUST PURE AIR OUTIT COMES . >> AND THEN WE HAVE THIS VERY OLD FASHIONED CAMPAIGN THAT BIDEN’S RUNNING. HOW DO YOU WHO’S GOING TO WIN? NO QUESTION.

ONCE AGAIN, THERE’S ANOTHER EASY QUESTION FOR YOU. YEAH, WE’RE TWO FOR TWO GUYS. LOOK, I THINK I THINK I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. THERE’S A HERE ON AT ALL, WHICH IS THAT MOST OF THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN ACTUALLY ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID AND HAS DONE AND WOULD DO.

AGAIN, THAT IS THE CRUX OF IT. WE SAW IT AT THE STATE OF THE UNION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WHICH A VERY POLITICAL STATE OF THE UNION AND YOU SEE IT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL ULTIMATELY. YES. BRAGGING ABOUT HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. AND MOSTLY HE’S CONTRASTING WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH WAR

VERSUS WHAT TRUMP WOULD DO. AND THAT’S THE POINT OF THIS. NOW, WHETHER IT’S OF THE RIGHT CALL OR NOT, WHETHER PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST AGAINST SOMEONE OR FOR ALMOST DOESN’T MATTER IN THE END. BUT THAT IS WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT. >> YOU’RE RIGHT. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THESE

TWO MEN COULD NOT BE MORE STARK . >> THANK YOU, RICK. WELL, IT’S A MOMENT NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE. THE FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISOR REPORTING TO PRISON FOR HIS ROLE IN DEADLY INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL TODAY, PETER NAVARRO TURNED HIMSELF TO A FEDERAL CORRECTIONS FACILITY IN MIAMI. AND HE’LL NOW SPEND FOUR MONTHS

BEHIND BARS FOR DEFYING THAT SUBPOENA FROM THE NOW DEFUNCT HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE. SO HE’S GOING INTO PRISON FOR CONTEMPT, OF COURSE. OF COURSE. NAVARRO SLAMMED THIS SENTENCE. HE CALLED HIS CONVICTION, QUOTE, AN UNPRECEDENTED ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATION OF POWERS. >> I AM NOT NERVOUS. I’VE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT

OF SUPPORT FROM DONALD TRUMP AND HIS TEAM AND HE HE UNDERSTOOD THEY CAN PUT ME IN PRISON. THEY CAN PUT YOU IN PRISON. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT. AND MAKE NO ABOUT THIS. THEY ARE COMING AFTER DONALD TRUMP WITH THE SAME TACTICS, TOOLS AND STRATEGIES. THEY TO PUT ME OVER THERE TODAY

. >> SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS IS ON THIS STORY. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG SAGA FOR PETER NAVARRO. HE IS NOW DESPITE ALL HIS EFFORTS. HOW DID THE PRISONERS IN PRISON TODAY. >> ONE OF TRUMP’S CLOSEST ADVISORS. HOW SIGNIFICANT IS THIS? IT’S EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE, OF COURSE, THIS IS THE

FIRST FORMER TRUMP ADVISER TO HAVE REPORT TO PRISON FOR ACTIONS STEMMING FROM JANUARY 6, SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE JANUARY 6 CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE FOR CONTEMPT CONGRESS. SO CLEARLY BECOMING THE FIRST FORMER ADVISER TO WALK IN THERE TODAY, TERRY, IT’S UNLIKELY THAT HE WILL SERVE THAT FULL FOUR MONTHS.

HE COULD GET OUT EARLY, BUT THE UPDATE IS THAT NOW HE IS IN PRISON IN MIAMI. >> WELL, NAVARRO MENTIONED BANNON’S CONTEMPT. STEVE BANNON’S CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CASE AND HOW HE WAS ALLOWED TO REMAIN FREE FROM PRISON. HE APPEALS HIS CASE. WHAT’S THE LATEST THERE AND WHY

DO YOU THINK A DIFFERENCE? RIGHT. WELL, THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. >> WITH BANNON, WE KNOW THAT THE APPEALS COURT HAS HEARD ARGUMENTS THIS WE’RE ESSENTIALLY WAITING FOR THE APPEALS COURT TO MAKE A. THEY HEARD ARGUMENTS A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. SO THEN BANNON’S WILL GO FROM THERE.

AND WITH NAVARRO, EVEN THOUGH HE IS REPORTING TO PRISON TODAY ,WE STILL EXPECT NAVARRO AND HIS LEGAL TEAM TO GO THROUGH THE APPEALS PROCESS. OF COURSE, THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY WILL DO THAT WHEN HE’S IN PRISON. BANNON REMAINS. I CAN’T REMEMBER. ALL RIGHT, KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANKS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU WILL SEND DELEGATION HERE TO WASHINGTON BY NEXT WEEK FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STARKEST AND MOST PUBLIC WARNING YET, URGING ISRAEL TO DELAY PLANS TO INVADE THE CITY OF RAFAH IN SOUTHERN GAZA WHERE SO MANY GAZANS HAVE FLED FOR REFUGE. MATT MILLION AND A HALF PALESTINIANS NOW HAVE NO HOME

OR ANY PLACE GO, SO THEY’RE SHELTERING THERE, FLEEING THE FIGHTING FROM THE NORTH. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE JOINS US NOW FROM LONDON. SO, TOM, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS MEETING NOW IN D.C. WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALSO ISRAELI THIS ISRAELI DELEGATION . WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

IS IT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE? >> I THINK IT’S AN ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL MOMENT FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT RIGHT NOW. AND THAT’S BECAUSE IS SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES. NORMALLY THE CLOSEST OF ALLIES. BUT THERE’S CLEAR TENSIONS, AND THAT IS BECAUSE

ISRAEL WANTS TO GO INTO RAFAH. AND ISRAELI OFFICIALS SAYING THERE IS NO WORLD IN WHICH IT WOULD NOT GO INTO RAFAH. THE QUESTION IS WHEN IT WOULD GO IN. AND OF COURSE THE REASON, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS URGING CAUTION AND URGING THE ISRAELIS TO GO IN UNLESS THEY HAVE A CREDIBLE PLAN

TO THE CIVILIAN POPULATION. THAT IS BECAUSE THERE’S MORE THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS PACKED INTO THAT SOUTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP. >> AND TO BE HONEST, AT THE MOMENT, WE HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH EVIDENCE FROM THE SIDE THAT THERE IS A CREDIBLE PLAN. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THEY HAVEN’T SEEN PLAN.

THE ISRAELIS SAY THEY WOULD MOVE CIVILIANS TO SORT OF HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS IN THE NORTH OF GAZA, BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW THEY WOULD ACTUALLY ACHIEVE THAT. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. AND SO THIS MEETING IS AN ATTEMPT, MAYBE A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO TRY AND FIND COMMON GROUND GROUND.

AND THE ISRAELIS SAY THEY ARE WILLING LISTEN TO IDEAS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ABOUT HOW THEY COULD MITIGATE THE HUMANITARIAN IMPACT OF A POSSIBLE INCURSION INTO RAFAH ON THE GROUND BECAUSE OF THE HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE THAT’S UNFOLDING THERE AND IT IS CERTAINLY LOOKING LIKE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE UNITED STATES, IF PEOPLE OR

WHEN PERHAPS PEOPLE START STARVING TO DEATH, AND GIVEN THE DEATH TOLL AND THE CONTINUING WAR AFTER SIX MONTHS, NOW, THAT IT SEEMS LIKELY TO HELP TO HAPPEN. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS U.N. REPORT THAT BASICALLY OUTLINES HOW DIRE THE SITUATION HAS BEEN THERE? YOU KNOW, CAN THE UNITED

STATES MOVE ISRAEL AT ALL OR? ARE WE FACING THAT CATASTROPHE? WELL, THIS U.N. REPORT PRETTY STARK. I MEAN, IT’S BASICALLY SAYING THAT THE NORTH GAZA, THAT IS WHERE IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO GET AID INTO CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE OF RESTRICTIONS BY THE ISRAELIS. THEY THEY HAVE TO CHECK THE AID.

THEY SAY THAT A LOT OF THE AID GOES INTO THE HANDS OF HAMAS. THEY HAVEN’T OPENED A CROSSING POINT INTO THE NORTH OF THE GAZA STRIP. THE U.S. WANTS THAT TO HAPPEN. BUT THIS REPORT IS SAYING THAT THE NORTH IS ON THE BRINK OF FAMINE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A MILLION PEOPLE.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE NORTH, POTENTIALLY A MILLION PEOPLE. REALLY LEVELS OF FOOD ARE ACUTELY HIGH, SAYS THE U.N. CHILDREN HAVE ALREADY DIED OF MALNOURISHMENT, ACCORDING TO THE U.N.. AND REALLY, THE WARNING IS THAT THOSE NUMBERS OF CHILDREN COULD SKYROCKET IF THERE ISN’T A CEASE FIRE.

>> AT LEAST MORE ENTRY POINTS FOR TRUCKS TO GET INTO GAZA RIGHT NOW TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE. THANK YOU. BACK HERE IN OUR NATION’S CAPITAL, WE’RE REMEMBERING THOSE DESPERATE AFGHAN PEOPLE CLINGING TO MILITARY AIRCRAFT ON THAT RUNWAY, TRYING TO FLEE THE COUNTRY. WHEN WORD GOT OUT THAT U.S. TROOPS WOULD BE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN.

AND THE TALIBAN AGAIN WAS BACK RULING THE COUNTRY. WE EVEN LOST. U.S. TROOPS GUARDING THE AIRPORT GATE WHEN THEY WERE KILLED. AND THAT SURPRISE TERRORIST BOMBING. NOW, FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY IS TESTIFYING BEFORE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S DEADLY AND CHAOTIC MILITARY WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IN AUGUST 2021.

IS TESTIFYING TO CONGRESS IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY FOR MILLEY SINCE HE RETIRED AT THE END OF LAST YEAR. THIS PAST SEPTEMBER. THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN TOLD ABC NEWS THE WITHDRAWAL A, QUOTE, STRATEGIC FAILURE AND HE HAS LOTS OF REGRETS ABOUT. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS

JAY O’BRIEN ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE SO JAKE. MARK MILLEY HAS TESTIFIED THAT THE AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT WAS A CATASTROPHE. WHAT’S WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT TODAY? FIRST OFF, THE DIFFERENCE IS IT COMES AS THERE WAS THIS ONGOING HOUSE REPUBLICAN LED INVESTIGATION THAT’S BEEN GOING ON SINCE JANUARY 20, 23 INTO THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL.

NOW, IN TERMS OF WHAT IS SAYING TODAY, IT’S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HE TOLD OUR MARTHA RADDATZ. YOU NOTED WHAT HE’S ALSO SAID IN OTHER FORUMS PUBLICLY BEFORE, WHICH IS HE HAS SERIOUS REGRETS ABOUT THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL, THAT THERE WERE A SERIES OF STRATEGIC FAILURES. ONE LINE THAT HE SAID TODAY

THAT OTHER U.S. HAVE SAID BEFORE, BUT IS INSTRUCTIVE TO THE GENERAL THEME OF THIS HEARING THAT THE U.S. HAD DUMPED SIGNIFICANT MILITARY RESOURCES INTO AFGHANISTAN, THAT THEY TRIED TO PROP UP THE STATE, BUT ULTIMATELY THEY COULD NOT, QUOTE UNQUOTE, FORGE A NATION. AND THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE SWIFT WITHDRAWAL OR TO ME,

THE SWIFT CASCADING EFFECT AS THE TALIBAN STARTED TO GAIN GROUND AND AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES COLLAPSED AMID THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL. SO, JAY, ANY REGRETS FROM THE FORMER JOINT CHIEFS CHAIR? WELL, GENERALLY, ONE OF THE REGRETS, OR RATHER OF THE ISSUES THAT HE SAYS HE HAS WITH THE OVERALL WITHDRAWAL

IS THE LACK OF A U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE, EVEN A SMALL OF U.S. FORCES THAT COULD HAVE HELPED AFGHAN SECURITY HOLD ON TO SOME KIND OF A GROUND AS THE TALIBAN WAS PICKING UP STEAM AND GAINING GROUND. HERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF MILLEY ON THAT SUBJECT AND OTHERS

WITH THAT FOR THE REST OF THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. >> THERE’S NO MILITARY LEADER WHO’S LOST TROOPS IN COMBAT. HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT FEELING. SO THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER ENSURE THAT THESE FAMILIES AND ALL OF OUR VETERANS AND FAMILIES KNOW TRUTH

AND HAVE THE ANSWERS. >> AND REMEMBER, THERE’S ONE MORE THING TO NOTE HERE. THERE IS WHAT MILLEY WAS REFERRING TO IS A VERY SOLEMN MOMENT OF THOSE FALLEN TROOPS AT THE END OF THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. >> THERE IS POLITICS THAT HANGS OVER THIS. THERE IS THIS BLAME GAME GOING

ON WHERE REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE ARE TRYING TO LAY THE BLAME ON, THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWALS, FAILURES AT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S FEET. DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IT’S THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S FAULT. WHAT MILLEY AND OTHER INDIVIDUAL TESTIFYING THERE, THE FORMER COMMANDER OF U.S. COMMERCE, SAYING IS THAT IT’S A SERIES OF FAILURES OVER

THE COURSE OF A SERIES OF ADMINISTRATIONS THAT GOT THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE. >> JAY O’BRIEN FOR US ON THE HILL. >> JAKE, THANKS. AND COMING UP. THEY WERE SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES, THEY WERE ALSO TORTURERS. NOW THEY’RE FACING JUSTICE FOR THE UNTHINKABLE HORRORS THEY INFLICTED ON TWO BLACK MEN .

THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE ACROSS EUROPE, FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND ,REFUGEE CENTERS IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE, CLOSE TO THE FRONT FROM THE CAPITAL DESTRUCTIVE FORCE STORM ON I-5 IS IN THE BULL’S EYE. >> LET’S GET ABC NEWS LIVE. AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE, STREAMING NEWS. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE STREAMING 24/7

STRAIGHT TO YOU FOR. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LIVE AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS. THIS IS THE START. TO BE IN THE NEWS AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY.

SO LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS. HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD ARMOR AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START. ABC NEWS NEED YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S THE PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING.

>> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, >> GLAD YOU’RE STREAMING WITH US. WHILE THEY WERE TWO BLACK MEN WHO WERE BEATEN, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AND SHOCKED WITH TASERS FOR 90 MINUTES WHILE HANDCUFFED. NOW, THE FIRST OF THE SIX WHITE SHERIFF DEPUTIES WHO COMMITTED THOSE HORRENDOUS WERE SENTENCED TODAY IN MISSISSIPPI. IN MISSISSIPPI.

COURT DOCUMENTS LAID OUT THE STOMACH TURNING HORRORS THAT WERE ENDURED BY THE VICTIMS HERE. ONE WAS ALSO ACTUALLY SHOT IN MOUTH. THE DEPUTIES THEN CAME UP WITH A COVER STORY AND AT FIRST THE VICTIMS FACED CHARGES THEMSELVES. IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT. ABC NEWS PHIL LIPOFF IS FOLLOWING THIS STORY.

SO THIS IS JUST REVOLTING AND ASTONISHING THAT IT’S THE 21ST CENTURY AND IT’S STILL HAPPENING IN MISSISSIPPI. AND SO THEY CALL THEM THE GOON SQUAD. WHAT WHAT WHAT WAS WHAT WAS THAT? THAT YOU KNOW, TERRY, YOU SAY STOMACH CHURNING. THAT’S A PERFECT WAY TO TURN PHRASE.

THIS IS IT WOULD BE HARD TO BELIEVE IF IT WASN’T TRUE. THIS HAPPENED IN OF 2023 WHEN RANKIN COUNTY DEPUTY BRAD MCALPIN GOT A RACIST CALL COMPLAINING, COMPLAINING THE TWO BLACK MEN WERE STAYING WITH A WHITE WOMAN AT A HOME IN BRAXTON, MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, AND THEN TEXTED ANOTHER DEPUTY

WHO REACHED OUT TO OTHERS PART OF THAT SO-CALLED SQUAD. YOU YOU MENTIONED ALL SIX HAVE PLEADED GUILTY TO A SLEW OF STATE AND FEDERAL CHARGES STEMMING FROM WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. THEY ENTERED HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT. ONCE INSIDE, THEY HANDCUFFED THE TWO MEN, MICHAEL JENKINS, EDDIE PARKER, BOTH IN THEIR THIRTIES, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

THEM WITH A TOY, POURED MILK, ALCOHOL, SIRUP ALL OVER THEIR FACES INTO THEIR MOUTHS. MARKED THEM WITH RACIAL SLURS, SHOT THEM WITH STUN. EVENTUALLY, ONE OF THE DEPUTIES, HUNTER AYLWARD, STUCK A GUN IN MICHAEL JENKINS MOUTH, PULLED THE TRIGGER, SHATTERING HIS JAW AND NEARLY KILLING HIM.

>> THEY THEN PLANTED A GUN AND DRUGS AND TRIED TO COVER UP THEIR ATTACK BY BLAMING THE TWO VICTIMS WHO, THEN FOR MONTHS ACTUALLY FACED FALSE CHARGES THEMSELVES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE’RE SITTING HERE HAVING A CONVERSATION JUST COMPLETELY REVOLTED BY EVERYTHING THAT WE’RE HEARING. IT MAKES US ANGRY WHEN WE’RE

JUST SAYING, I MEAN, THIS IS YOU KNOW, THAT THIS IS WE CAN GO BACK TO EMMETT TILL. >> IT’S LIKE HAD NO ONE LEARNED FROM HISTORY? >> I MEAN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? >> AND THEN YOU’VE GOT THE RANKIN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE NOW FACING $400 MILLION CIVIL LAWSUIT. GOOD.

FROM VICTIMS. >> SO IS THERE ANY PRESSURE ON, ANYONE HERE TO RESIGN? >> WELL, THERE IS. THERE’S A TON OF PRESSURE. >> BUT IN ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION, IT’S — IT’S NOT JUST THIS INCIDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED, ALLEGATIONS OF EXCESSIVE FORCE BY THIS DEPARTMENT. RANKIN COUNTY SHERIFF

BRIAN BAILEY SAYS HE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE INCIDENTS. >> AND DESPITE PRESSURE BY LOCAL ACTIVISTS AND THERE IS A LOT AND THE ACP, HE SAYS HE WILL NOT STEP THE FEDERAL JUDGE IN THIS CASE WILL SENTENCE TWO DEFENDANTS EACH DAY FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. THAT WILL BE THE SIXTH OF THEM.

ALWARD, WHO SHOT JENKINS IN THE MOUTH, WAS SENTENCED TODAY. >> HE FACES THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGES AND HE GOT ROUGHLY 20 YEARS BEHIND BARS. >> DURING HIS SENTENCING, HE APOLOGIZED TO THE VICTIMS AND JENKINS SAID HE DOESN’T FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE DID, BUT HE WAS HAPPY THAT I’LL

TURNED AROUND AND ACTUALLY ADDRESSED HIM AND LOOKED AT HIM AND HE SAID SAW ME IN COURT. >> WOW. PHIL LIPOFF APPRECIATE IT. FULL. WELL, OF COURSE, FOLLOW THE CASE UNTIL THE END. HMM. SO THEY ARE CUNNING CRIMINALS, ABUSING OUR VISA LAWS LANDING DOWN IN CALIFORNIA ONLY TO RANSACK AND ROB MILLION DOLLAR

MANSIONS. NOW, THE LAPD IS ACTUALLY CRACKING DOWN, EVEN FORMING A NEW TASK FORCE CALLED BURGLARY TOURISM. THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY SAY IT’S A GROWING TREND. >> THEY’RE NOT IN CALIFORNIA, THOUGH, BUT ACROSS THE STATE.

CRIME TOURISM AFTER, A SURGE IN BURGLARIES, BREAKING INTO HOMES, STEALING JEWELRY, CASH AND OTHER LUXURY GOODS. >> WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN BURGLARIES FROM ORGANIZED GROUPS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THIS COUNTRY, ARE COMING INTO THE COUNTRY, AND THEY ARE TARGETING HIGH END RESIDENTS. >> LOS ANGELES POLICE LAUNCHING

A NEW FORCE AMID REPORTS THAT THE GROUPS ARE BECOMING MORE ACTIVE. WE’RE AWARE OF THIS TREND AND WE ARE, I BELIEVE, APPROACHING IT APPROPRIATELY. THE LAPD WORKING WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS TO POLICE IN SCOTTSDALE, THREE PEOPLE LAST WEEK USING DRONES AND HELICOPTERS TO HELP TRACK THEM DOWN. THE SUSPECTS, ALL FROM CHILE,

TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. POLICE SAY IT’S PART OF A GROWING TREND. THAT’S GROUPS COMING IN FROM SOUTH AMERICA ENTERING THE U.S. ON VISAS TO TARGET UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOODS. >> THEIR TRANSIT SHUTTLE GANGS. AND THEY COME INTO THIS COUNTRY OR MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL. ON 90 DAY VISAS AND TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF OUR SYSTEMS AND OUR LAWS. AND, KYRA, LAPD RIGHT NOW IS WORKING WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION, AND THEY’RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND PATTERNS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE AN ARREST EITHER IN THE ACT OR RIGHT BEFORE. KYRA, THEY’RE ALSO INVESTIGATING THE USE OF WI FI JAMMERS.

THE THIEVES CAN USE THESE TO BLOCK YOUR CAMERA SIGNALS, AND THEY ACTUALLY SUGGEST THAT HOMEOWNERS HARDWIRE THEIR SECURITY SYSTEMS IF POSSIBLE KYRA. ALL RIGHT, KAYNA WHITWORTH APPRECIATE IT. AND COMING UP, WE’VE HAD AN ANSWER FOR THE DISEASE FOR OVER . SO WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW COMING

IT’S UNLIKELY TO SUDDENLY DEVELOP LATER IN LIFE, BUT DeMARCO, SOMETIMES YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT AND NOT KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE LOW-SUPPORT NEEDS. AUTISM REVOLVES AROUND CHILDREN, BUT YOU CAN ADJUST IT FOR ADULTS. SOME SYMPTOMS INCLUDE DIFFICULTY

WITH FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE, TAKING THINGS QUITE LITERALLY, UNEASE WITH SOCIAL SITUATIONS, AND ALSO DIFFICULTY PROCESSING OR SHOWING APPROPRIATE EMOTIONS. THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE MANY CHARACTERISTICS OF AUTISM. IT IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY PERSON THAT LIVES WITH IT SO YOU HAVE TO GET IT EVALUATED.

With some fun in between passes billionaire. Sounds good to me. The Moose started chasing a dog first thing in the morning America this morning America’s number one early morning news on ABC News live. With so much at stake. So much on the line, more Americans turn here than any

Other news cast, ABC News World News Tonight, with David Muir. America’s number one, most watched news cast across all of television, >> DeMarco: WELCOME BACK TO “GMA3.” WE TURN TO THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE IN HAITI AS POWERFUL GANGS CONTINUE TO OVERPOWER THE CARIBBEAN COUNTRY TO.

ING THE RESIGNATION OF ITS PRIME MINISTER. THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT SENDING CHARTER PLANES TO HAITI RESCUING 30 AMERICANS OVER THE WEEKEND WITH AN UNKNOWN NUMBER STILL STRANDED. >> Eva: AS THE VIOLENCE CONTINUES, AN AID GROUP SAYS A MASS HUMANITARIAN CRISIS OF FAMINE IS EMERGING.

JOINING US FROM THE CAPITAL OF PORT-AU-PRINCE IS OUR OWN MATT RIVERS. I’M CURIOUS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW. WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS? >> Reporter: YEAH. HI, GUYS. IT’S A VERY BRUTAL SITUATION HERE. THERE’S REALLY NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. I MEAN, WE ARRIVED YESTERDAY.

WE TOOK A HELICOPTER WHICH IS REALLY THE ONLY RELATIVELY SAFE WAY YOU CAN GET INTO PORT-AU-PRINCE THESE DAYS. THIS PLACE IS EFFECTIVELY CUT OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES OVER MY REPORTING CAREER. IT TAKES A LOT TO SHOCK ME WHEN

IT COMES TO HAITI, AND YET WHAT I SAW YESTERDAY REALLY DID SHOCK ME. NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I HAVE SEEN AND BEEN IN BEFORE, ENTIRELY DECIMATED BY THIS ONGOING GANG VIOLENCE AGAINST THE SITTING GOVERNMENT HERE TRYING TO TOPPLE THE SITTING GOVERNMENT. TRULY, TRULY HORRIFIC STUFF HERE

AS THIS HUMANITARIAN SITUATION GOES ON, AND I’LL JUST SAY YESTERDAY NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE, WE HEARD THE GUNFIRE. 13 PEOPLE WERE MASSACRED IN THE STREET WITHIN A QUARTER MILE STRETCH. NOW THIS IS DIFFICULT STUFF TO TALK ABOUT, BUT THIS IS THE

REALITY OF WHAT’S GOING ON HERE IN PORT-AU-PRINCE. >> DeMarco: THAT IS THE REALITY THERE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE AMERICANS THAT ARE STRANDED? WE KNOW ABOUT THE 30 THAT WERE CHARTERED BY PLANES OUT OF THERE. >> Reporter: YEAH. SO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO

DO IS TALK TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND FIGURE OUT, OKAY. EXACTLY HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE HERE? WHERE ARE THEY, AND HOW MANY ARE TRYING TO GET OUT? FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY, WE ACTUALLY HEARD FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYING THAT NEARLY A THOUSAND AMERICANS HERE IN

HAITI, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WOULD BE HERE IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAVE REACHED OUT ASKING THE STATE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE. YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT A CERTAIN FORM, REGISTERING WITH THE GOVERNMENT SAYING YOU WANT HELP TO GET OUT AND THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

ALSO WE HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SAID IT WILL SOON BEGIN EVACUATION HELICOPTER FLIGHTS FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY COMPOUND HERE IN PORT-A PORT-AU-PRINCE. IT’S NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THOSE FLIGHTS

WILL START, AND ALSO IT’S DIFFICULT JUST TO GET TO THE EMBASSY COMPLEX WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS. SOURCES HERE IN THE POLICE COMMUNITY HAVE TOLD ME THAT GANGS AND POLICE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE U.S. EMBASSY.

SO EVEN IF YOU GET ON ONE OF THOSE FLIGHTS, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO RUN A GAUNTLET JUST TO GET TO THE EMBASSY. >> Eva: YOU MENTIONED THIS IS ALL HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THIS POWER STRUGGLE THAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW. LET’S TALK ABOUT THESE GANGS.

WHO ARE THEY, AND HOW MUCH CONTROL DO THEY REALLY HAVE? >> Reporter: GANGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM IN HAITI, GOING BACK A VERY LONG TIME, BUT REALLY THE INFLECTION POINT CAME IN TERMS OF THEM INCREASING THEIR POWER AFTER THE ASSASSINATION OF HAITI’S

PRESIDENT IN JULY OF 2021. THEY HAVE SORT OF FILLED THE POLITICAL VACUUM THAT HAS NOT BEEN F BEEN FILLED BY THE STATE. INCREASING THEIR MONEY, AND POWER, AND FROM ARMS AND DRUG TRAFFICKING. DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE, 80% TO 90% OF THIS CAPITAL CITY

IS UNDER GANG CONTROL. THAT’S A STAGGERING NUMBER, BUT WHAT’S REALLY CHANGED OVER THE LAST MONTH IS THAT THESE GANGS, COMPETING ALLIANCES HERE THAT USED TO FIGHT EACH OTHER HAVE NOW LOOSELY ALIGNED TO FOCUS ALL OF THEIR ENERGY, ALL OF THEIR FIRE POWER ON THE STATE ITSELF,

AND THAT IS WHAT REALLY HAS CHANGED THE GAME HERE IN HAITI, AND THAT’S WHY WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HAITI AS A FAILED STATE RATHER THAN A GOVERNMENT FIGHTING THE GANGS. >> DeMarco: AND MATT, WE HAVE SEEN THE PICTURES OF THE DEVASTATION THERE. TALK ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN

CRISIS. WHAT DO WE KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO AID BEING ABLE TO BE DELIVERED TO THOSE WHO NEED IT? THE AIRPORT IS CLOSED. >> Reporter: YEAH. MINE, I MEAN, THERE’S NO AID GETTING IN. THERE’S NO FOOD GETTING IN. THE PORT — THERE’S ONE BIG PORT IN PORT-AU-PRINCE.

IT’S IN THE VALLEY BEHIND US. I CAN SEE IT IF I LOOK TO MY LEFT. THERE’S NO AID GETTING IN. THE GANGS CONTROL THAT PORT. NO FOOD IS GETTING INTO THE COUNTRY. I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A HUMANITARIAN HERE YESTERDAY WHO SAID, WITHIN THE NEXT TEN DAYS,

PORT-AU-PRINCE COULD RUN OUT OF FOOD IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS. I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTRY DIRECTOR OF THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM WHO IS SAYING SIMILAR THINGS. IT IS HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS THE GRAVITY OF THIS SITUATION. THIS IS AN ISLAND COUNTRY.

ITS BORDER WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAS BEEN CLOSED AND GANGS CONTROL ALL THE WAYS IN AND OUT OF THE CITY AND THAT IS HOW GANGS HOLD LEVERAGE BY CONTROLLING THAT, KEEPING ANY SUPPLIES THEY MIGHT GET IN FOR THEMSELVES, AND MEANWHILE THE 7

MILLION PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS CITY ARE QUITE LITERALLY GOING TO BEGIN TO STARVE AT SOME POINT IF SOME SOLUTION ISN’T WORKED OUT. >> Eva: JUST AN INCREDIBLY DIRE SITUATION. MATT RIVERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPORTING THERE. >> Reporter: THANK YOU.

>> Eva: UP NEXT ON “GMA3,” GOOD THINGS GOING ON BEHIND BARS. >> DeMarco: WE’RE GOING TO MEET THE NEW GENERATION OF SERVICE DOGS TEACHING USRS WHEN WE COME. STAY WITH US. With so much at stake. So much on the line, more Americans turn here than any

I’M GLAD THAT I CAN SAY THAT I WAS PART OF IT. FOR TWO WEEKS WE TRAIN POLICE OFFICERS, VETERANS, TO HANDLE OUR DOGS. >> THESE LAST TWO WEEKS WERE FOR US TO BE TRAINED AND LEARN THE COMMANDS AND LEARN HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE DOGS.

>> OFFICERS ARE LISTENING TO AN INCARCERATED PERSON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND YOU’RE, LIKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? >> WORKING WITH INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS CHANGED MY — HOW PERCEPTION OF HOW I’VE SEEN THEM. IT’S MADE ME A BETTER POLICE OFFICER AND A BETTER HUMAN BEING

AND HOW I ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY. >> WITH PTSD, YOU BACK AWAY FROM THE WORLD. WITH DYLAN, I SEE HIM OPENING UP THE WORLD BACK UP FOR ME AGAIN. >> BEING PART OF, YOU KNOW, PUPPIES BEHIND BARS, I LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE BETTER WITH

Sports washing is a form of information manipulation. When you do something wrong as a political regime, you can’t just get rid of the stain the booming business of sports washing now streaming. Give it to me. >> DeMarco: WE ARE BACK NOW WITH DR. DARIEN, AND THERE’S A NEW

REPORT OUT THAT SUGGESTS THAT MARRIAGES HERE IN THE U.S. IN 2022 RETURNED TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS. TELL US ABOUT IT. >> Dr. Darien: THIS IS DATA THAT I LOVE. SO SINCE 2019 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE UNITED STATES, SINCE THAT TIME, MARRIAGES HAVE EXCEEDED

PAST THAT 2 MILLION MARK, AND SO IT LED ME KIND OF A DEEP DIVE YESTERDAY ON THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF MARRIAGE, WHICH I FIND FASCINATING. MARRIED MEN TO LIVE LONGER AND THERE’S A LOT OF REASONS BEHIND THAT. SO I’M — I KNOW, EVA, YOU CAN

PROBABLY ATTEST TO THIS. AS TO REASONS WHY, THEY’RE COMPLICATED, BUT THERE ARE LOWER RATES OF HEART HEALTH AND CANCER DIAGNOSES. >> Eva: I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE A PARTNER OF SOME SORT, YOU GET SOMEONE ELSE LOOKING FOR YOU, NOTICING YOUR HEALTH CHANGES. THAT’S BENEFICIAL, NO?

>> Dr. Darien: I THINK SO, BUT IT SEEMS TO BENEFIT ONLY THE MEN. [ LAUGHTER ] WHICH IS — IT’S GREAT, BUT ALSO IN THIS STUDY, IT SHOWS THAT UNHAPPY MARRIAGES CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HYPERTENSION, WHICH IS OF COURSE, ITS OWN RISK FACTOR,

BUT I THINK THIS IS LOVELY. WE’RE SEEING MARRIAGES INC INCREASING AND WE’LL SEE IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE. >> Eva: FOR SOME PEOPLE. >> Dr. Darien: HOPEFULLY FROM MOST. >> DeMarco: THEY AGREE WITH THAT. >> Dr. Darien: I THINK SO. >> DeMarco: SO HAPPINESS DOES MATTER.

>> Dr. Darien: HAPPINESS DOES MATTER, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THE RATES OF LONELINESS OBVIOUSLY DECREASE LIVING WITH SOMEONE. THERE’S SOME SELECTION BIAS. HEALTHIER MEN TEND TO GET MARRIED SO THERE’S BIAS WITHIN THAT, BUT AGAIN, RATES PROTECTION OF PROSTATE CANCER, MARRIED MEN TO LIVE LONGER, HAVE

BETTER OUTCOMES, AND I THINK IT’S A TESTAMENT TO THAT PARTNERSHIP, AND PROBABLY THAT WIFE PUSHING HER HUSBAND INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED. >> DeMarco: I LOVE HOW YOU’RE QUIET ON THIS. WHICH MEANS It’s lunchtime in America. So what are we serving up? Well,

DR. LYNN O’CONNOR MADE HISTORY AS THE NYPD’S FIRST BLACK FEMALE POLICE SURGEON LAST YEAR. >> DeMarco: SHE IS A HISTORY-MAKER AND AS A COLORECTAL SURGEON, SHE’S NOW TEAMING UP WITH THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF COLON CANCER SCREENINGS AND HELPING SAVE NEW

YORK CITY’S FINEST JUST LIKE DETECTIVE ROXANNE JOSEPH. >> I JOINED THE POLICE FORCE IN JULY OF 2005, AND I WAS ACTUALLY 25 AT THE TIME. I STARTED DOING COMMUNITY AFFAIRS. IT MEANS LITERALLY THE WORLD TO ME, WHAT I DO. MARCH OF 2022, I WENT TO THE

RESTROOM AND I NOTICED THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD IN MY STOOL. I CALLED UP MY DOCTOR AND I TOLD HIM, I NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF BLOOD MIN MY STOOL, AND HE TOLD ME, IT’S PROBABLY NOTHING SERIOUS. MARCH 8th, I WENT IN, AND WE DID THE COLONOSCOPY.

THE DOCTOR SAID, WE FOUND A TUMOR AND IT’S LARGE. I LAID THERE. I WAS SPEECHLESS FOR A WHILE. I HAD THIS WHOLE PLAN. EVERY CHEMO TREATMENT I’M GOING TO GO, FEELING GOOD, YOU KNOW, DOING MY HAIR AND PUTTING ON MAKEUP AND JUST DRESSING NICELY AND SKRUJUST FEELING GOOD.

SO THAT FIRST ROUND KNOCKED ME OUT. I CRIED EVERY CHEMO. THE FIRST ROUND IT FELT LIKE NEEDLES WAS GOING THROUGH MY BO BO BO BODY. I THOUGHT ABOUT MY KIDS, MY FAMILY. IT’S GOING TO BE A YEAR NEXT MONTH THAT I’M CANCER-FREE, AND

I’M JUST HAPPY TO, YOU KNOW — JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE, TO EVEN TALK ABOUT IT. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT DR. LYNN O’CONNOR WAS COMING, I WAS SO HAPPY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. DR. LYNN O’CONNOR IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR A PERSON

LIKE ME BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE DEALS WITH. I DEFINITELY — I’M ON THE VERGE RIGHT NOW OF RAISING AWARENESS, AND THAT’S REALLY WHAT I WANT TO DO. >> WE WE HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND AND THAT’S REALLY WHAT I’M DOING RIGHT NOW.

>> DeMarco: I LOVE IT AND SHE SAID, TWO WORDS, CANCER-FREE. PLEASE WELCOME DR. LYNN O’CONNOR AND ROXANNE JOSEPH. FIRST, ROXANNE, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> DeMarco: WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO ARE STILL HESITANT ABOUT GETTING CHECKED AND SCREENED?

>> I WOULD TELL THEM NOT TO BE AFRAID. SCREENING IS SAFE. IT’S PAIN-FREE, AND IT’S THE ONLY WAY THAT DOCTORS CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU, YOU KNOW, IF THERE’S AN ISSUE TO ADDRESS IT. IF YOU DON’T KNOW, THEN THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP, BUT

SCREENING IS VERY, VERY SAFE, AND ESPECIALLY FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN, YOU KNOW, OVER THE AGE OF, LIKE, 40, YOU REALLY NEED TO GET SCREENED. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. IT SAVED MY LIFE. YES. >> DeMarco: YES. SCREENING IS SO IMPORTANT. >> Dr. Darien: IT’S SO ESSENTIAL, AND YOUR STORY IS ONE

OF INCREDIBLE COURAGE. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE SITTING AT HOME AFRAID TO MAKE THAT PHONE CALL, MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT? >> NO. YOU HAVE TO CALL. IF YOU SEE BLOOD IN YOUR STOOL, YOU HAVE TO CALL, AND LIKE I SAID, SCREENING IS SO SAFE.

IT’S PAIN-FREE. THERE’S NO PAIN INVOLVED, AND IT’S — IT’S A FAST PROCESS AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S THE ONLY WAY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CAN HELP YOU. IT’S THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DIAGNOSE YOU AND HELP YOU. >> Eva: DR. O’CONNOR, I WANT TO ASK YOU, WHEN PEOPLE SEE A STORY

LIKE HERS, THEY OFTEN WONDER, OKAY. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS I NEED TO BE LOOKING OUT FOR? WE HEARD ABOUT THE BLOOD IN HER STOOL, BUT WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I BE ASKING MY DOCTOR ABOUT? >> THAT’S SO IMPORTANT, BUT THE ONE THING THAT REALLY NEEDS TO

BE DRIVEN HOME IS YOU WANT TO GET SCREENED BEFORE YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS BECAUSE COLORECTAL CANCER IS SILENT. WHEN YOU START HAVING SYMPTOMS, THAT MEANS YOU MAY HAVE ADVANCED DISEASE, SO JUST LIKE ROXANNE, RECTAL BLEEDING, A CHANGE IN HABITS, WEIGHT LOSS, CONSTIPATION, AND SOMETIMES

PATIENTS START FEELING FULL, SO YOUR APPETITE IS DECREASED. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MAIN SYMPTOMS AND YOU CAN ASK YOUR FAMILY IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY. MAKE SURE YOU TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND SAY, LISTEN. WHEN SHOULD I GET SCREENED?

AND IF YOU HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS, YOU DON’T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE 45. JUST AS ROXANNE WAS YOUNGER THAN THAT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET SCREENED SOONER. >> DeMarco: I HEARD AFTER DOING OUR STORY, I HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM YOUNG PEOPLE, 28, 29, 31, COLON CANCER.

>> YES, AND IT’S REALLY — IT’S AN ALARMING SITUATION THAT’S GOING ON. WE’RE SEEING MORE AND MORE CASES IN YOUNGER AND YOUNGER PATIENTS. SINCE THE 1980s, WE HAVE HAD A 1% TO 2% INCREASE IN THAT DEMOGRAPHIC OF 20 TO 39-YEAR-OLDS WITH COLON CANCER

AND AN EVEN HIGHER INCREASE WITH RECTAL CANCER. WE THINK IT COULD BE ENRONMENTAL, WHAT WE’RE EATING. WE’RE PHYSICALLY INACTIVE, AND THAT’S WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE EATING RIGHT, EXERCISE. FRUITS, VEGETABLES, FIBER AND IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, IT’S IMPORTANT TO GET SCREENED.

>> Eva: SUCH GOOD ADVICE. OUR THANKS TO DR. O’CONNOR AND ROXANNE FOR BEING HERE WITH US. >>> JUST AHEAD HERE ON “GMA3,” A BIG DAY IN THE STUDIO WITH UNCLE LUKE AND JERMAINE DUPRI LOOKING INSIDE “FREAKNIK.” >> DeMarco: WE REMEMBER THOSE DAYS, AND A TRIP DOWN MEMORY

ENTERPRISE. >> BUT THE LEGACY OF FREAKNIK IS ALSO THE UGLY SIDE. >> THIS STARTED TO GET A LOT MORE OUT OF CONTROL. PEOPLE WERE COMING BY THE MASSES. >> Eva: WELCOME BACK TO “GMA3.” THAT WAS A LOOK AT THE NEW DOCUMENTARY, “FREAKNIK: THE WILDEST PARTY EVER TOLD.”

THE FILM TAKES A LOOK AT THE LEGENDARY EVENT THAT FOREVER SHAPED ATLANTA’S CULTURE, AND ITS MUSIC SCENE. >> DeMarco: AND I MEAN THE WILDEST PARTY. WITH US NOW TO TALK ABOUT THIS, CULTURAL PHENOMENON, THE FILM’S EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS ROYALTY, UNCLE LUKE AND JERMAINE DUPRI. BRAVO.

FIRST CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> DeMarco: WHAT’S BEEN THE REACTION? ALL MY FRIENDS WERE, LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE. YOU’RE ABOUT TO SEE MOM AND DADDY DOING SOME STUFF BACK IN THE DAY AND DANCING ON, YOU KNOW, SUVs. >> Eva: YOU PRETEND IT WAS MOM AND DADDY.

>> DeMarco: WHAT’S BEEN THE REACTION SO FAR? >> I THINK THE REACTION HAS BEEN PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING AND IT’S NOT WHAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND IT’S NOT. IT’S NOT ALL OF THAT WAS WHAT

PEOPLE WAS NERVOUS ABOUT, BUT THEY SHOULD PROBABLY BE NERVOUS THEY PROBABLY ARE GOING TO BE ON THERE, BUT IT’S NOT — IT DOESN’T SIT IN THAT, AND IT’S NOT JUST A STORY ABOUT THAT. IT’S A STORY ABOUT THE RISE OF THE SOUTH MUSICALLY. MYSELF, LUKE, OUTKAST, ALL THESE

DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT CAME, AND JUST HOW THE SOUTH MUSIC JUST BECAME SO WORLDWIDE AND JUST BECAME SPREAD. “FREAKNIK” WAS THE SPREAD. >> DeMarco: WHAT WAS IT EXACTLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT IT? >> WELL, WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS A NICE, INNOCENT PARTY.

>> DeMarco: THAT’S HOW IT STARTED OUT. >> IT WAS AN INNOCENT PARTY WITH SOME COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM ATLANTA, AND THEY DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GO ON SPRING BREAK, AND SO THEY WANTED TO CREATE THEIR OWN LITTLE PARTY. >> Eva: AS WE LOOK AT THIS

DOCUMENTARY AND LOOK BACK IN TIME, WHAT DID THIS DO FOR BLACK HISTORY AND CULTURE? >> I MEAN, WHAT IT DID FOR BLACK HISTORY AND CULTURE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT — WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, GUYS AND GIRLS HAD CAMERAS.

THEY HAD THE CAMERAS AND TOOK IT HOME AND THEY SHARED IT WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND THAT’S WHEN THEY GOT THE LIKES, YOU KNOW? AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RICH HISTORY LIKE JERMAINE, THE GODFATHER OF ATLANTA MUSIC, THE SCENE AND

EVERYTHING, YOU DIDN’T HAVE THAT AT THAT TIME, AND SO WHEN PEOPLE CAME DOWN THERE JUST LIKE I SAID, PEOPLE JUST STAYED, YOU KNOW, AND IT CREATED THIS BIG INDUSTRY OF ATLANTA BEING BLACK HOLLYWOOD, YOU KNOW, THE MECCA OF THE SOUTH WHEN IT COMES TO

ENTERTAINMENT, AND YOU JUST SAW THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS. >> FOR JERMAINE, THE GODFATHER, “FREAKNIK” HAS HAD SUCH A HUGE IMPACT ON SOCIETY AND THE MUSIC SCENE. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW IT HAS AFFECTED YOUR CAREER AND SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE? >> I DON’T THINK YOU WOULD LABEL

ME THE GODFATHER. I THINK JUST THE — >> DeMarco: YOU ARE THE GODFATHER. >> I THINK FOR YOU TO EVEN SAY THAT, THAT FREAKNIK IS WHAT CREATED THAT RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS PLAYING WHEN PEOPLE CAME, RIGHT? THEN THEY SAW.

I HAD BILLBOARDS, AND I USED IT AS A PROMOTIONAL TOOL FOR MY RECORD COMPANY. SO AS IT WAS COMING, WE WAS PREPARING FOR, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TO BE STUCK IN THE CARS. WE WOULD GIVE YOU A TOWEL IF YOU WAS HOT. WATER BOTTLES, AND IT BECAME

SOMETHING I USED TO PROPEL MY LABEL AND MY BRAND. THAT’S WHY I THINK THE CONNECTION AND WHY PEOPLE SAY THAT I’M, YOU KNOW, SO YNONYMOU WITH ATLANTA LIKE THAT. >> DeMarco: YOU KNOW OF THE MOVIES OF THAT TIME, ATLANTA WAS THINKING ABOUT BLACK COLLEGES

AND THE HBCUs, AND THERE WAS THE NEGATIVE SIDE. WHY DO YOU THINK IT TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE? >> BECAUSE OF PROGRAMMING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT FESTIVALS LIKE ESSENCE FESTIVAL I MEAN, PROGRAMMING KEEPS THAT FESTIVAL AT A LONGLASTING FESTIVAL, BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW,

YOU NEED TO KNOW. I LOVE THAT ME REPORTING FROM THE US-MEXICO BORDER IN CALIFORNIA. I’M JACLYN LEE. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING ABC LIVE. I’M HERE. WE’RE RIGHT HERE IN LOS ANGELES. AND RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE, THE MAJOR NEW IMMIGRATION

RULING FROM THE SUPREME COURT. THE JUSTICES ALLOWING A CONTROVERSIAL TEXAS LAW TO TAKE EFFECT. THE LEGAL BATTLE OVER THE MEASURE PLAYS OUT. WHAT WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE RULING, ITS IMPACT. ALSO, THE FIRST OF SIX FORMER OFFICERS SENTENCED FOR THE RACIALLY MOTIVATED TORTURE OF TWO BLACK MEN IN MISSISSIPPI.

THE PUNISHMENT HANDED DOWN TODAY AND THE OTHER DEFENDANTS WAIT TO LEARN THEIR FATES IN THIS SHOCKING CASE. ALSO, SEVERAL STATES HOLDING PRIMARIES TODAY. HOW DONALD TRUMP IS LOOKING TO FLEX HIS INFLUENCE IN OHIO AS HE ESCALATES HIS RHETORIC. BUT WE BEGIN HERE WITH THE SUPREME COURT ALLOWING THAT CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION

LAW TO TAKE EFFECT AS THE LEGAL BATTLE OVER THE MEASURE OUT. SO THE LAW GIVES STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES BROAD POWERS TO ARREST MIGRANTS SUSPECTED OF CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY. TEXAS REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SAYS IT’S NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE INFLUX OF MIGRANTS, BUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN

SEEKING TO GET IT STRUCK DOWN IT A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AUTHORITY. OUR SENIOR WASHINGTON REPORTER DEVIN HAS BEEN TRACKING THE LATEST FROM OUR BUREAU THERE IN D.C.. SO LOOK, DIVIDEND TEXAS DPS SAYING THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR THE STATE AND NOW IT’S UNCLEAR HOW THE STATE AUTHORITIES WILL BE INTERACTING

WITH FEDERAL IN TERMS OF APPREHENSIONS AND PROSECUTIONS. BUT DEVIN, I. >> WHAT ARE THE MOST IMMEDIATE IMPACTS HERE? WELL, THIS IS UNCHARTERED, KAYNA. USUALLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS AND PROTECTING THE BORDERS THAT WILL CHANGE IN TEXAS. ALTHOUGH TEXAS OFFICIALS DID TELL US TODAY IT WILL TAKE THEM

A COUPLE OF DAYS AT LEAST TO BEGIN ENFORCING THIS STATE LAW. IT WILL ALLOW THEM, AS YOU SAID, TO LET LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS DETAIN MIGRANTS SUSPECTED OF CROSSING ILLEGALLY AND TO HOLD THEM. THAT WILL DEFINITELY CREATE SOME COMPLICATIONS. AN ALREADY VERY COMPLICATED BORDER AREA. THE LIBERAL JUSTICES DISSENTING

FROM TODAY’S DECISION WARNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE CHAOS AT THE BORDER. THEY SAID SPECIFICALLY THAT ALLOWING STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GET INVOLVED WITH POLICING THE BORDER COMPLICATE FOREIGN RELATIONS. IT WILL FRUSTRATE EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE ASYLUM SEEKERS WHO HAVE LEGITIMATE CLAIMS IN THIS COUNTRY AND THAT IT WILL ALSO DISAVOW INTERFERE,

RATHER, WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY’S ABILITY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT’S GOING ON AT THE BORDER. THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE COMPETING AGENCIES DOWN THERE, AS YOU SAID. THE BOTTOM LINE WE’RE LOOKING AT VERY MESSY PERIOD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, BUT I SHOULD SAY A KEY CAVEAT TO ALL OF THIS

IS IT IS NOT THE FINAL WORD ON WHETHER THIS LAW WILL ULTIMATELY TAKE EFFECT. THIS WAS THE DECISION VERY, VERY MUCH FOR NOW BY THE SUPREME COURT, AN APPEALS COURT IS STILL WEIGHING WHETHER OR NOT THIS LAW CAN MORE PERMANENTLY EFFECT. THAT DECISION IS DECIDED AND EXPECTED ANY DAY NOW.

SO THERE’S A LOT STILL IN FLUX HERE, EVEN AS THE SUPREME COURT TODAY IN PRETTY DRAMATIC FASHION, THAT THE LAW CAN TAKE FOR NOW KYRA. ALL RIGHT, DEVIN DWYER. OUR THANKS TO YOU. >> ALSO NOW TO THE FIRST OF SIX FORMER OFFICER SENTENCED TODAY IN THE RACIALLY MOTIVATED

TORTURE OF TWO BLACK MEN, EX SHERIFF’S DEPUTY HUNTER ALWARD . GIVEN 20 YEARS IN PRISON IN THAT CASE AND FOR HIS ROLE IN, A SEPARATE INCIDENT. ANOTHER FORMER DEPUTY GENERAL JEFFREY MIDDLETON, IS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE SENTENCED TODAY. THIS IS PROSECUTORS SAY THE EX-OFFICERS AND FOUR OTHERS BURST INTO A HOME WITHOUT

A WARRANT AND ASSAULTED TWO BLACK MEN WITH STUN GUNS. A AND OTHER OBJECTS. A WORD. HAD ADMITTED TO SHOOTING ONE OF THE VICTIMS IN THE MOUTH IN WHAT HE CLAIMED WAS A MOCK EXECUTION THAT WENT AWRY. AGAIN, ALL OF THIS HAPPENING IN MISSISSIPPI. AND JOINING US FOR MORE IS

OUR ABC NEWS LIVE, ABC NEWS FAITH ABUBEY. SHE’S LIVE FOR US IN ATLANTA ALONG WITH ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR AND TRIAL ATTORNEY BRIAN BUCKMIRE. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND LOOK, FAITH, WE’RE STILL WAITING FOR THE SECOND SENTENCING TODAY. SO FAITH RIGHT NOW IS THE

REACTION SO FAR TO L WORD GETTING 20 YEARS? WELL, CAN I ASK ONE OF THE VICTIM’S ATTORNEYS PUT IT THE DAY OF JUSTICE HAS FINALLY COME. WELL, MICHAEL JENKINS AND EDDIE PARKER SAY THEY’RE SATISFIED. SO WITH THE SENTENCES. AND JENKINS, THOUGH, IS SAYING THAT HE STILL HAS NOT FORGIVEN

THE OFFICER L WORD WHO SHOT HIM DURING THE COURSE OF THESE HORRIFIC CRIMES. YOU REMEMBER AFTER ENDURING 90 MINUTES OF THESE RACIALLY MOTIVATED CRIMES, TORTURE, SEXUAL ABUSE AND ALL THESE CRIMES, THESE MEN, THESE INNOCENT MEN ACTUALLY WERE CRIMINALLY CHARGED AND HAD TO SPEND MONTHS CLEARING THEIR NAMES BECAUSE THESE

OFFICERS, ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, TRIED TO COVER UP THEIR CRIMES. THEY PLANTED EVIDENCE, INCLUDING DRUGS AND A GUN AT THAT SCENE. AND SO FINALLY, MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, THESE ARE FINALLY SEEING THE REAL CRIMINALS, THE OFFICERS WHO HAVE ADMITTED TO THESE AND COULD FINALLY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

SO THEIR FORMER OFFICERS WHO WILL BE SENTENCED ALONG WITH THE OTHER ONE THAT’S HAPPENING TODAY, OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND THEN THERE ARE $400 MILLION LAWSUITS PENDING AGAINST THESE OFFICERS ,AS WELL AS A STATE SENTENCE THAT IS PENDING AS WELL. ALL RIGHT. SO STILL A LOT TO BE LEARNED HERE, FAITH.

BUT, BRIAN, TO WHAT IS YOUR TAKE SO FAR, AT LEAST ON THE SENTENCE THAT WAS HANDED DOWN TODAY, THOSE 20 YEARS? AND BRIAN, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT PERHAPS IS AN INDICATOR OF HOW THESE OTHER SENTENCES COULD THEN PLAY OUT? >> WELL, GIVE IT TO ME. THE SEEM A LITTLE LIGHT WHEN

YOU THINK ABOUT HUNTER L WORD POTENTIALLY FACING UP TO 2120 YEARS IN PRISON PLUS A $2.75 MILLION FINE, BUT ONLY GETTING 20 YEARS. HE’S THE WHO HAD THE GUN INSIDE OF THIS YOUNG MAN’S MOUTH AND PULLED THE TRIGGER AND SET UP, AS HE SAID THIS ELABORATE TO INCARCERATE AND THEN ADDING

INSULT TO INJURY. WHAT DO THINK IT WILL AFFECT IS HOW THE OTHER DEFENDANTS ARE ABLE TO ARGUE SAY, HEY, I WASN’T THE ONE WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER. I DIDN’T PUT THE GUN IN THE MOUTH. IF HE GOT 20 YEARS, I SHOULD GET SOMEWHERE A LITTLE BIT LESSER. BUT THEY ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT

MAXIMUM OUTWARD AS WELL AS CHRISTIAN GENTLEMEN HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL MAXIMUMS OF 120 YEARS. THE REST HAVE SOMEWHERE FOR 80 TO 100 YEARS. I THINK THIS IS WHERE DUDE, THIS IS GOING TO HAVE US ALL RELOOKING AT THIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE EFFECTS AND CHANGES THAT COME FROM THAT AND

POTENTIALLY THE CIVIL LAWSUIT, I THINK THAT’S GOING TO DO A LOT MORE JUSTICE THAN THE SENTENCES HERE. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I KNOW YOU’LL BE WATCHING THAT VERY CLOSELY. FAITH AND BRIAN, THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU. ALSO, WE TURN NOW TO CAPITOL HILL, WHERE A FORMER JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, GENERAL MARK

MILLEY, TESTIFIED TODAY BEFORE THE HOUSE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, ALONG WITH FORMER CENTCOM COMMANDER GENERAL KENNETH MCKENZIE, THE U.S. WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IN 2021. AS YOU THAT INVOLVED A CHAOTIC, MASSIVE EVACUATION FROM KABUL, THE MILITARY AND STATE DEPARTMENT WORKED TO EVACUATE SOME 124,000 EMBASSY PERSONNEL, AMERICAN CITIZENS, AND AT RISK AFGHANS FOLLOWING THE TALIBAN’S

TAKEOVER OF THE COUNTRY AT, THE END OF AMERICA’S LONGEST WAR. GENERAL MILLEY, EARLIER SPEAKING ON THAT EXIT. >> AS I PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED PUBLICLY, MY ANALYSIS, MY PERSONAL ANALYSIS WAS THAT AN ACCELERATED WITHDRAWAL WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO THE GENERAL COLLAPSE OF THE AFGHAN SECURITY FORCES AND THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, RESULTING IN A

LARGE CIVIL WAR, REMNANTS OF THE 1990S OR A COMPLETE TALIBAN TAKEOVER. >> I WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS JAY O’BRIEN, WHO’S LIVE FOR US ON CAPITOL HILL FOR MORE ON THIS. SO JAY, LOOK, LAST SEPTEMBER, GENERAL MARK MILLEY TOLD ABC NEWS MARTHA RADDATZ THAT THE WITHDRAWAL WAS, QUOTE

,A STRATEGIC FAILURE, AND HE SAID HE HAS A LOT OF REGRETS ABOUT IT. SO WHAT WAS THE HOUSE COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR FROM THOSE WHO TESTIFIED? >> WELL, THIS IS PART, REMEMBER, OF AN ONGOING HOUSE FOREIGN COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION INTO THAT AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL THAT’S REALLY BEEN GOING ON. REPUBLICANS TOOK CONTROL OF THE

HOUSE IN JANUARY OF 2023. AT TIMES, THAT INVESTIGATION HAS GOTTEN CONTENTIOUS WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT. SO THE GOAL OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS IN THIS COMMITTEE WAS TO TRY GET MILLEY AND MCKENZIE ON THE RECORD ABOUT THAT AFGHANISTAN. YOU HEARD MILLEY EXPRESSED, AS HE’S TOLD OUR MARTHA RADDATZ BEFORE, THAT HE HAS A SERIES

OF REGRETS AS TO HOW THAT WITHDRAWAL TRANSPIRED. YOU ALSO HEARD MACKENZIE, WHO IS THE LEADER OF U.S. CENTCOM, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT TERRORIST ATTACK AT THE SO-CALLED ABBEY GATE AT THE AIRPORT THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF 13 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS AND 170 AFGHAN CIVILIANS. THIS INVESTIGATION OF DOESN’T END WITH THIS HEARING.

WE KNOW THAT THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HAS COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATING THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. AND IN FACT, MCCAUL SAID HE WANTS DOCUMENTS FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THAT INVESTIGATION. >> ALL RIGHT, JAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND NOW TO FORMER TRUMP WHITE HOUSE ADVISER PETER NAVARRO,

DEFIANT AS HE REPORTED TO PRISON TODAY. THAT’S JUST DAY AFTER THE SUPREME COURT DENIED A STAY OF HIS FOUR MONTH SENTENCE. NAVARRO WAS CONVICTED IN SEPTEMBER OF TWO COUNTS OF CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS FOR REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE. HE SAID TODAY THAT HE WILL PROUDLY DO HIS TIME

AND EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP. ALSO TODAY, VOTERS ARE HEADED TO THE POLLS IN PRIMARY CONTESTS ACROSS. FIVE STATES, INCLUDING DONALD TRUMP’S HOME STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE FORMER PRESIDENT CASTING HIS BALLOT IN PALM BEACH JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. THE OTHER STATES HOLDING CONTESTS ILLINOIS, KANSAS,

FLORIDA, OHIO WHICH, OF COURSE, IS HOLDING A HIGH PROFILE SENATE PRIMARY ON THE REPUBLICAN. SO THE TRUMP ENDORSED CANDIDATE, BUSINESSMAN BERNIE MORENO, IS BATTLING AGAINST TWO OTHER REPUBLICANS TO THEN TAKE ON THE DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT SHERROD BROWN IN NOVEMBER. THIS IS HAPPENING AS TRUMP, OF COURSE, STIRS MORE CONTROVERSY WITH SOME

STATEMENTS ABOUT JANUARY SIX. COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AS WELL AS JEWISH VOTERS. JOINING US FOR MORE ON THIS IS ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. SO, RICK, LOOK, TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN, THEY, OF COURSE, HAVE ALREADY LOCKED DOWN THEIR PARTY’S NOMINATIONS . BUT IF WE TALK ABOUT THIS OHIO SENATE PRIMARY, DO YOU THINK

THIS REALLY COULD BE A TEST FOR REPUBLICANS? AND A LOOK CLOSELY AT THE POWER OF A TRUMP ENDORSEMENT? >> IT IS CARTER AND MAY BE THAT WHAT’S GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP? IS IT GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? WE’RE SEEING A DIVIDED A THREE WAY RACE. ONE OF THE CANDIDATES, AS YOU

MENTIONED, RUNNING RIGHT NOW, THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT. MUCH OF THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT IS BEHIND ANOTHER CANDIDATE. THE THIRD CANDIDATE IS ACTUALLY A STATEWIDE OFFICEHOLDER. AND THIS IS A CRITICAL FOR REPUBLICANS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO RETAKE THE SENATE. THEY’D LOVE TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC SHERROD BROWN THIS FALL.

AND IN FACT, DEMOCRATS FEEL SO STRONGLY THAT MORENO, THE TRUMP BACKED CANDIDATES, THE EASIEST CANDIDATE TO BEAT, THAT THEY’VE BEEN ESSENTIALLY BOOSTING HIM THROUGH THE PRIMARY PROCESS. THEY SPENT MONEY TRYING TO SAY HE’S TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR OHIO, WHICH IN REPUBLICAN POLITICS TODAY AMOUNTS TO AN EFFORT TO TRY TO GET HIM TO BE

THE CHOSEN CANDIDATE AGAINST SENATOR BROWN. >> I MEAN THAT’S INTERESTING. ALSO, RICK, LOOK, TRUMP IS DRAWING MORE BACKLASH ABOUT. A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE AND A SEPARATE REMARK ABOUT JEWISH VOTERS. WHAT HAS THE RESPONSE BEEN SO FAR? >> OH, IT’S BEEN PRETTY SWIFT

AND FIERCE. WE SAW THE SECOND GENTLEMAN, DOUG EMHOFF, WHO’S HIMSELF JEWISH, COME OUT AND THESE ARE JUST VILE AND FALSE STATEMENTS. SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER, WHO GOT A LOT OF THIS ROLLING WITH HIS COMMENTS LAST WEEK THAT WERE CRITICAL OF PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU, ALSO FIERCELY DENOUNCING WHAT TRUMP HAS SAID AS, FRANKLY, A SLUR

AGAINST JEWISH AMERICANS TO SUGGEST THAT POLITICAL CRITICISM OF ISRAEL AMOUNTS TO DEFYING YOUR OWN, YOUR OWN RELIGION, HATING ISRAEL. IT JUST ISN’T THE CASE. AND TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESSING THAT CASE AND SOMETHING HE HAS ECHOED IN PREVIOUS REMARKS. THEY’RE NOT TRUE. IT IS VIEWED AS AN ANTI-SEMITIC

SLUR BY MANY WHO, IN YOUR WORDS LIKE THAT. I DON’T EXPECT THAT TRUMP’S GOING TO BACK DOWN FROM IT ANYTIME SOON, THOUGH. ALL RIGHT. RICK KLEIN, OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS. AND TURNING NOW TO THE DESPERATE SITUATION IN HAITI. THE CRISIS DEEPENING THE RACE TO RESCUE HUNDREDS OF U.S.

CITIZENS STILL TRAPPED THERE TAKES NEW URGENCY. THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT SENDING A NOTICE TO AMERICANS SAYING THAT MORE EVACUATIONS COULD SOON BEGIN. THE STATE DEPARTMENT HELPED THAN 30 AMERICANS LEAVE THE CARIBBEAN NATION ON A CHARTER FLIGHT SUNDAY. THIS COMES AS ARMED GANGS UNLEASHED NEW ATTACKS ON THE HAITIAN CAPITAL OF PORT

AU PRINCE. AND POLITICAL DYSFUNCTION SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL. THE U.S. EMBASSY THERE URGING ALL TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. ABC NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MATT IS ON THE GROUND IN HAITI WITH THE LATEST. MATT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. AND FIRST OF ALL, JUST TELL US WHAT YOU’RE SEEING THERE ON THE GROUND.

AS WE KNOW, HAITIANS CITIZENS ARE TRYING TO FLEE. THEY’RE RUSHING TO THE BORDER THERE WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. >> YEAH, IT HAS BEEN A VERY CHAOTIC TIME HERE. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT KIND OF THE SITUATION IS DIRE. AND YOU’RE RIGHT, THE PEOPLE HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE

ARE DOING JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY AND GET OUT OF PORT AU PRINCE. THE LUCKY ONES ARE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DOMINICAN BORDER WHERE THEY ARE BEING TURNED. OTHERS ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT NORTH TO OTHER PARTS OF HAITI THAT ARE NOT SO CHAOTIC.

BUT THE VAST, VAST, VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE STUCK HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE. THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THE GANGS CONTROL ALL ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS. THE PORT TO MY LEFT, CONTROLLED BY THE GANG, THE AIRPORT SHUT DOWN ROADS, HIGHWAYS GOING NORTH AND EAST TOWARD THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,

COMPLETELY UNDER GANG CONTROL. YOU WOULD RISK YOUR LIFE IF YOU RAN THOSE ROUTES RIGHT NOW. SO MOST PEOPLE ARE STAYING PUT, BUT STAYING PUT DOESN’T MEAN THE VIOLENCE CAN BE ESCAPED. IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY THAT MORE THAN 13 PEOPLE WERE MASSACRED WITHIN A QUARTER MILE STRETCH,

NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE RIGHT HERE. GANGS CONTINUE TO BATTLE WITH POLICE ON THE DAILY. THIS IS NOT GOING TO END ANYTIME SOON. >> AND MATT, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS HERE TO POSSIBLY ANY REMAINING U.S. CITIZENS OUT OF THE COUNTRY? >> YES, THERE ARE HUNDREDS

OF U.S. CITIZENS THAT REMAIN IN HAITI THAT HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED THE STATE DEPARTMENT ASKING FOR HELP. IT DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT EACH ONE OF THOSE AMERICAN CITIZENS TO LEAVE. HOWEVER, WE HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY WHO VERY MUCH DO WANT TO. WE SPOKE TO A GENTLEMAN YESTERDAY WHO WAS A CONTRACTOR.

HE WAS HERE WORKING ON BUILDING A NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER AT THE AIRPORT. >> HE WAS SCHEDULED TO LEAVE ONE WEEK AFTER THIS VIOLENCE BEGAN. AND HE’S BEEN STUCK EVER SINCE. SO HE HAS EXPRESSED HIS DESIRE TO LEAVE. OTHERS ARE DOING EXACT SAME THING. AND WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS SENDING MESSAGES TO AMERICANS HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE SAYING THERE COULD IT COULD BE EVACUATION FLIGHTS, CHOPPER FLIGHTS OUT OF THE EMBASSY HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE WITHIN THE COMING DAYS? BUT THAT IS VERY MUCH IN, IF NOT WHEN, SITUATION. AND SO IT LEAVES MANY

AMERICANS ANYTHING TO DO BUT TO WAIT AND HOPE AND WHILE THEY’RE WAITING, WE KNOW THAT A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IS GROWING. THERE. >> WELL. WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT? >> AND WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY HERE IN PORT AU PRINCE, MARTIN, AND I HEAR WHO WAS VERY STRIKING.

THIS IS A MAN WHO IS VERY WELL CONNECTED TO THE AID COMMUNITY HERE. AND HE SAID, LOOK, WHERE IS THE FOOD COMING FROM? THE PORTS CLOSED. THIS IS AN ISLAND. THE VAST MAJORITY OF FOOD COMES FROM THERE. THE DOMINICAN REPORTER THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BORDER ALSO LARGELY CLOSED AT THIS POINT.

THERE IS NOTHING COMING IN TO HAITI. AND IF NOTHING IS COMING IN, THEN THE HUNGER CRISIS, WHICH HAS ALREADY REACHED MASSIVE HEIGHTS HERE IN HAITI WITH 1.4 MILLION PEOPLE OR SO, AT THE RISK OF TIPPING INTO FAMINE OR STARVATION, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM, IT ONLY GETS WORSE FROM THERE.

OUTSIDE HELP HAS TO BE BROUGHT IN. AND YET IF ALL PORTS OF ENTRY ARE CLOSED OR UNDER GANG CONTROL, THEN HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? SO FAR, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WHAT IS LEFT OF THE HAITIAN GOVERNMENT PROVIDING NO SOLUTIONS OR POSSIBILITIES ON HOW TO OVERCOME THIS? >> WELL, JUST DEVASTATING AND TERRIFYING QUESTIONS

TO HAVE TO ASK. MATT RIVERS, THANKS TO YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR REPORTING THERE IN HAITI. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COMING NEXT HERE, NEW ISRAELI AIRSTRIKES IN RAFAH AS QUESTIONS ARE STARTING SURROUNDING THE IDF.

INTO RAFAH. ISRAEL SAYS QANA, THAT ARE PROBABLY FIVE HAMAS BATTALIONS LEFT IN RAFAH, MAYBE ABOUT 8000 FIGHTERS OR SO, MAYBE MORE. PLUS, HEAD OF HAMAS IN GAZA GET HITS IN WAR AND THEY SAY THEY WANT HE SAID, QUOTE, ON A PIKE, THEY ARE GOING AFTER THEM. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT’S GOING HAPPEN.

BUT THEY SAY NO MATTER WHAT THE U.S. SAYS, THEY’RE GOING WITH THIS, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO TAKE AN ACCOUNT. OF COURSE, MASSIVE HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS AND THE FACT THEIR 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS WHO SOUGHT SHELTER IN RAFAH, MANY OF ALREADY BEEN DISPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES, GOING TO IRAN. WE KNOW ISRAELI OFFICIALS

HAVE SAID THEY WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THEM TO THESE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS, BUT IS THERE ANY WORD ON EXPECTATION, IF YOU WILL, FAR AS THIS ISRAELI DELEGATION THAT IS HEADED TO WASHINGTON? I THINK THAT THEY ARE, I’M BEING TOLD THAT THEY ARE GOING THERE NOT JUST TO LAY

DOWN THE LAW, TO SAY, HEY, LISTEN, GOING TO DO THIS NO MATTER WHAT. THEY ARE ALSO GOING TO LISTEN BECAUSE I THINK THEY DON’T KNOW HOW, KATE, HOW THEY’RE GOING TO GET THOSE 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE ROUGHLY INTO THOSE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS. WHO’S GOING TO ADMINISTER THE ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE?

WHO’S GOING TO GIVE THEM FOOD, WATER, SHELTER OR HOSPITALS? IT’S GOING TO TAKE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. IT’S GOING TO TAKE THE NGOS. AND THERE’S GOT TO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT COORDINATION. SO THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE ALL EARS LISTENING TO WHAT THE U.S. MIGHT SUGGEST TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM DO.

THE U.S., OF COURSE, SAYS IT DOES NOT WANT ISRAEL TO GO IN THERE AT THAT. IT FORESEES AN EPIC TRAGEDY IF ISRAEL DOES SO. AND IT’S TRYING THE BEST IT CAN, ESPECIALLY THE WHITE HOUSE, TO DISSUADE THEM FROM GOING IN QANA. RIGHT. IT WOULD TAKE A MASSIVE CONTINGENCY PLAN TO GET

ALL THOSE PEOPLE MOVED TO SAFETY. MATT GUTMAN, OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS. AND COMING UP NEXT HERE, RAP LEGEND DR. DRE HONORED TODAY WITH A STAR ON HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME AS THE MUSIC LEGEND REVEALS A FRIGHTENING HEALTH SCARE. THAT’S AFTER THE BREAK. >> FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,

HEMORRHAGE AND THAT’S BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN. THAT COMES WHEN AN ANEURYSM BURSTS OPEN. NOW, ANEURYSMS ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON, ABOUT 6% OF AMERICANS HAVE THEM.

HIGH STAKES REPUBLICAN SHOWDOWN IN OHIO AND DRAWING BACKLASH OVER NEW COMMENTS JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND JEWISH VOTERS. I’LL BREAK IT ALL DOWN WITH OUR CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT, JONATHAN KARL. ALSO IN OUR SPOTLIGHT, THE RELEASE OF ELON MUSK’S WIDE RANGING INTERVIEW WITH DON LEMON. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN ON THE HEATED MOMENTS.

>> THE BILLIONAIRE AND THE FORMER CABLE NEWS ANCHOR. THE NOW, OF COURSE, WE START WITH OUR BIG STORY HERE. VOTERS ARE HEADED TO THE POLLS IN PRIMARY ACROSS FIVE STATES, INCLUDING DONALD TRUMP’S HOME STATE OF FLORIDA. THE FORMER PRESIDENT CASTING HIS BALLOT IN PALM BEACH JUST A SHORT TIME AGO.

THE OTHER STATES HOLDING CONTESTS LOOKING AT ILLINOIS, KANSAS, FLORIDA, OHIO, WHICH IS HOLDING A HIGH PROFILE SENATE PRIMARY. ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THE TRUMP ENDORSED CANDIDATE, BUSINESSMAN BERNIE MORENO IS BATTLING AGAINST TWO OTHER REPUBLICANS TO TAKE ON THE DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT, SHERROD BROWN. THAT’S IN NOVEMBER, OF COURSE, AND THAT’S AS TRUMP STIRS

MORE CONTROVERSY WITH STATEMENTS ABOUT JANUARY SIX COMMITTEE MEMBERS. SO LET’S BRING IN OUR ABC CHIEF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JONATHAN KARL TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS. RIGHT, JOHN. SO LET’S START WITH OHIO, SHALL WE? TRUMP IS BACK. BUSINESSMAN BRIAN MORENO AND OUR PARTNERS AT FIVETHIRTYEIGHT SAY ESSENTIALLY RIGHT NOW, HE’S TIED IN THE POLLING

WITH SENATOR MATT DOLAN. SO JOHN, DO YOU THINK THAT TONIGHT IS A BIT OF A REFERENDUM, WHAT A TRUMP ENDORSEMENT REALLY MEANS? >> I MEAN, IT SURE LOOKS THAT WAY. LOOK, TRUMP WAS JUST IN OHIO CAMPAIGNING FOR FOR BERNIE MORENO. HE’S MADE THAT ENDORSEMENT QUITE LOUD AND VOCAL.

>> HE IS THE TRUMP CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE. AND MATT DOLAN IS REALLY THE WHAT’S LEFT OF THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT, THE PRE-TRUMP REPUBLICANS ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE. HE IS THE ONLY ONE. DOLAN IS THE ONLY ONE OF THOSE THREE REPUBLICANS WHO ACTUALLY SAYS THAT THE ELECTION WASN’T STOLEN IN 2020.

SO, YES, THIS IS TEST FOR DONALD TRUMP IN OHIO. BY THE WAY, ONE OTHER POINT ON THIS IS THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HAVE ACTUALLY GONE IN TO TRY TO BOOST BERNIE MORENO’S CANDIDACY. THEY’VE BEEN ADVERTISING IN OHIO SAYING HE IS TOO, FOR OHIO. CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP HIM BECAUSE

THE DEMOCRATS THINK THAT TRUMP CANDIDATE BERNIE MORENO WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO BEAT IN NOVEMBER. >> OH, THAT’S REALLY INTERESTING. OKAY, JOHN, LET’S LOOK AT, FIRST OF ALL, ILLINOIS. RIGHT. THERE’S THIS MOVEMENT THAT IS CALLING FOR PEOPLE TO WRITE IN GAZA. AND IF YOU LOOK AT ARIZONA, THERE ARE SOME GROUPS THERE

THAT ARE CALLING FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR MARIANNE WILLIAMSON INSTEAD OF PRESIDENT IN THEIR PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE ELECTION. JOHN WE’VE SEEN THESE PROTESTS, VOTES GARNER REALLY HEFTY PERCENTAGE OF VOTES BEFORE. >> SO HOW DOES THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN PERCEIVE THAT MESSAGE ? >> WELL, I DON’T THINK IT’S NECESSARILY GOING TO BE

QUITE AS BIG TODAY IN THE STATES YOU MENTIONED. BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM I MEAN, WE SAW WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF VOTES FOR UNCOMMITTED IN MICHIGAN. WE SAW THE SAME THING HAPPEN IN MINNESOTA. >> WE SAW A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER IN NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA

GO TO NON BIDEN CANDIDATES IN A RACE WHICH REALLY DOESN’T HAVE A VIABLE NON BIDEN CANDIDATES. THESE ARE PROTEST VOTES FROM, DEMOCRATS THAT BIDEN IS GOING TO NEED TO HAVE COME BACK ON BOARD TO BEAT TRUMP IN NOVEMBER. >> ALL RIGHT. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT TRUMP’S RETRIBUTION. HE’S BEEN THREATENING RETRIBUTION AGAINST

POLITICAL OPPONENTS FOR SOME TIME NOW. NOBODY KNOWS IT BETTER THAN YOU. YOU QUITE LITERALLY THE BOOK ON IT. RIGHT. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THIS RHETORIC IS ESCALATING A ON SOCIAL MEDIA CALLING FOR LIZ CHENEY AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE TO BE JAILED. JOHN, WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU

FROM THESE COMMENTS AND ARE HIS THREATS OF RETRIBUTION? I MEAN, SEEMINGLY OR IN ACTUALITY GETTING MORE AND MORE SPECIFIC? >> YEAH. THINK THEY HAVE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. YOU AND I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT HOW THIS HAS REALLY BEEN A THEME FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. HE TALKED ABOUT RETRIBUTION.

HE SAID QUITE FAMOUSLY AS HE WAS LAUNCHING HIS CAMPAIGN, I AM YOUR RETRIBUTION. THAT’S HIS MESSAGE TO HIS SUPPORTERS. HE’S TALKED ABOUT ANNIHILATING ,ELIMINATING THE DEEP STATE AND OUR POLITICAL ENEMIES. BUT — BUT IN THIS CASE, HE IS VERY SPECIFICALLY SAYING THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO INVESTIGATED HIS ACTIONS

AS PART OF THAT JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE ARE SHOULD BE SENT TO JAIL. I MEAN, HE IS SAYING THIS IN ALL CAPS ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, AND IT’S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HE’S BEEN SAYING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW THROUGHOUT HIS CAMPAIGN. IT IS SPECIFIC AND HE IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS MADE IT

CLEAR THAT HE TO USE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO ACCOMPLISH HIS POLITICAL GOALS. >> AND YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT HE’S SAYING ON SOCIAL. THERE’S THIS SOCIAL MEDIA THREAD THAT TRUMP ALSO QUESTIONED IF HUTCHINSON, A FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE AND ONE OF THE KEY WITNESSES TO THE SIX COMMITTEE, SHOULD

BE PROSECUTED BECAUSE, JOHN, HE’S CLAIMING IN THIS RADIO INTERVIEW TODAY THAT THERE’S A SECRET SERVICE AGENTS OR SEVERAL THAT WILL REFUTE HER TESTIMONY. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT. >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IT’S — IT’S FRANKLY OUTRAGEOUS TO SEE CASSIDY HUTCHINSON, WHO WAS A YOU KNOW, AS A YOUNG

WOMAN WORKING IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE JUST, STEPS FROM THE OVAL OFFICE, AND SHE CAME FORWARD. TOTAL TRUMP SUPPORTER. BUT SHE WAS THERE. SHE WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON JANUARY SIX. SHE TESTIFIED WHEN MANY OF THE OLDER AND MORE SENIOR, FRANKLY, MEN IN THE TRUMP HOUSE WERE HIDING BEHIND PRIVILEGE

AND REFUSING TO TALK. SHE TOLD STORY TO THE COMMITTEE AND NOW HE IS OUT SAYING THAT SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN SOMEBODY WHO HAS FACED DEATH THREATS, WHO HAS BEEN HARASSED BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS RUTHLESSLY ,ESSENTIALLY FIRST TESTIFIED. AND LOOK, HER TESTIMONY HAS BEEN LOT HAS LARGELY HELD UP WHAT SHE HAS TOLD THE JANUARY

SIX COMMITTEE. THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THE PRESIDENT’S CAR AFTER HIS SPEECH ON JANUARY 6TH. SHE TOLD WHAT SHE HAD BEEN TO WHAT HAD BEEN DESCRIBED TO HER BY A SENIOR SECRET SERVICE OFFICIAL AND NOBODY HAS DISPUTED THAT THAT CONVERSATION TOOK PLACE. SOME HAVE SAID THEY COULDN’T RECALL IT.

BUT THERE ARE DISPUTES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE, THE CAR. BUT TO GO OUT THERE AND SAY THAT SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED IS REALLY BEYOND THE PALE. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, I KNOW THAT. KEEP WATCHING THAT FOR US. JON KARL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

I WANT TO BRING OUR BIG STORY TO OUR PANEL NOW. JOINING US TODAY IS OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SERIOUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MUSE, OUR FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN FROM NEW YORK, JOHN, FORMER DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA, HEIDI HEITKAMP. AND NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND OP ED COLUMNIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES.

L.Z., SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE WITH US TODAY. JOHN, LET’S START HERE WITH YOU. LOOKING THESE EARLY RACES, I KNOW THAT, JOHN, YOU SORT OF CONSIDER THESE RACES RIGHT A BAROMETER FOR THE STANDARD BEARER OF EACH PARTY. >> SO WHAT YOU WATCHING FOR? >> I’M JUST WATCHING.

WE’RE KIND OF WHAT THE DOWN BALLOT PERFORMANCES AND EXACTLY WHAT JONATHAN KARL WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT WHAT IS THE INFLUENCE OF TRUMP IN PLACES LIKE KEY SENATE RACES LIKE OHIO? >> AND THAT’S GOING TO BE A BAROMETER FOR THE FALL? BECAUSE DON’T FORGET, YOU KNOW, THEY’VE GOT GET THE MODERATE

IN THE SWING VOTE IN THE FALL ON BE A VERY, VERY CLOSE RACE. SO WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT WITH RESPECT TO THE RHETORIC, I WANT TO SEE WHAT THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON ON THESE DOWN BALLOT RACES. WELL. WHAT’S REMARKABLE ABOUT TRUMP IS HE IS REALLY USING INCENDIARY RHETORIC LONG AFTER

HE HAVE LEARNED HIS LESSON AFTER JANUARY 6TH. AND THAT’S PERHAPS THE MOST TROUBLING AND SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE GOING FORWARD, HOW THAT’S GOING TO UNFOLD IN THE CAMPAIGN. >> RIGHT. HOW THAT WILL IMPACT VOTERS. L.Z., I KNOW YOU COVERED RIGHT IN 2020. SO, L.Z., HOW ARE YOU GOING

TO WATCH THE NUMBERS IN TONIGHT ? AND THEN HOW DO YOU ANALYZE THE PROTEST VOTE THAT POTENTIALLY HAPPENS, YOU KNOW, IN ARIZONA TODAY AND THEN YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE PRIMARY THAT ARIZONA WILL HAVE IN JULY WHEN INDEPENDENTS CAN TAKE PART . >> EXCELLENT, SERIOUS QUESTIONS. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M

GOING TO BE VOTING ON MY ANSWERS LIKE YOU. I CAN TELL YOU IN 2020, THOUGH, IT WAS A VERY UNNERVING PLACE TO BE IN THE COUNTRY. I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY OF THE PANELISTS WOULD CALL, BUT THERE WERE MORE THAN FIVE RECOUNT EFFORTS IN ARIZONA, REALLY FOCUSING ON WHERE MUSLIM

MINORITIES IN THE STATE LOCATED. AND ONE OF THE MAIN VOICES THAT COME OUT OF THAT WAS CARRIE LEE, WHO IS A SENATE CANDIDATE IN THE PRIMARY. SHE’S A CLOSE TRUMP ALLY. AND THE QUESTION IS, WILL TRUMP’S CONNECTIONS, CARRIE LEE, HURT HER IN THIS PRIMARY? WE DO KNOW THAT THE STATE

GOVERNMENT, THE STATE REPUBLICANS IN ARIZONA ACTUALLY WERE CAUGHT TRYING TO BRIBE CARRIE NOT TO RUN. THEY WERE SO FEARFUL OF TRUMP’S IMPACT ON THIS RACE. AND SO I’M REALLY FASCINATED TO SEE HOW THIS IS GOING TO PLAY OUT IN ARIZONA WHEN IT COMES TO THE GOP AND WHEN IT

COMES ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. I THINK BASED UPON OUR REPORTING WITH THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, A JURY IN MICHIGAN, THERE HAVE BEEN PROGRESSIVES HAVE BEEN PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN MORE IN TRYING TO GET NETANYAHU AND ISRAEL TO BE MORE CAUTIOUS . IT COMES TO THE INNOCENT

VICTIMS WHO ARE BEING IN GAZA. >> AND SO THEY SEE THAT AS THE RESPONSE TO, THEIR PROTEST VOTES. MIKE, TO YOU. YEAH. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, LET’S TALK ABOUT OHIO, IF WE CAN. >> RIGHT. SO REPUBLICANS NEED TO FLIP TWO SEATS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE SENATE IN 2025. AND IN OF WHAT’S HAPPENING

IN OHIO, I KNOW YOU SORT OF LOOK AT IT AS RIGHT, A SHOWDOWN THE OLD GUARD VERSUS THE NEW GUARD OF THE GOP. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO YOU HAVE DOLAN WHO HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY THE GOVERNOR, DEWINE, AND THEY ARE MORE OF THE MODERATE WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY UP AGAINST

MARINO WHO HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY TRUMP AND ALSO, TOO, HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY JD. AND THEY’VE BEEN STOMPING ALONG THE TRAIL WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. OHIO IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A KEY BATTLEGROUND STATE, BUT IT MATTERS EVEN MORE SO THIS ELECTION CYCLE. AS I SAID, IT IS ESSENTIALLY UP

FOR GRABS AND IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO A FEW STATES. THIS IS GOING TO BE OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA, AND ALSO TO WITHIN ARIZONA. SO DEPENDING UPON WHO CAN WIN IN COMBINATION, THOSE STATES WILL DETERMINE WHO CAN CONTROL THE SENATE. OHIO HAS A CHANCE BECAUSE DEWINE GOVERNOR, IS MORE AND MORE MODERATE.

>> SO THE ASPECT OF IT TO SEE WHERE I THINK TONIGHT WE’LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THE GOP IN OHIO IS CENTERED, THE DIRECTION THEY WANT TO GO IN AND WHO ARE THEY BEHOLDEN TO. SO I THINK TODAY WOULD BE A BELLWETHER FOR HOW THAT GENERAL ELECTION COULD SHAPE UP.

>> ABSOLUTELY. AND AGAIN, I REALLY DO THINK IT WILL SEE HOW DONALD TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT IS TO SOME OF THESE CANDIDATES. AND, HEIDI, I’D LIKE TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THE RHETORIC THAT WE ARE HEARING FROM DONALD TRUMP. >> WELL, IT’S INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO ATTACK, CASSIE HUTCHINSON. I MEAN, IT’S JUST BEYOND

THE PALE, JOHN SAID. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT THE QUESTION IS, WILL THERE ANY CONSEQUENCES AT THE BALLOT BOX? WILL THERE BE DOWN RESPONSES? AND SO THE MORE TRUMP DOES THIS, YES, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT ENERGIZES THE MAGA FACTION OF HIS, BUT HE CAN’T WIN WITH MAGA ALONE.

HE HAS GOT TO GET AND THIS LANGUAGE IS NOT HELPFUL. AND LOT OF THE CANDIDATES THAT HE’S SELECTING, I THINK THE REPUBLICANS ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MIDTERMS ALL OVER WHERE THESE VERY EXTREME CANDIDATES WILL LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN THE SENATE BACK. AND SO WE’LL WAIT AND SEE.

BUT YOU WHEN I THINK ABOUT CANDIDATES, THINK ABOUT WHAT A MARK ROBINSON DOES IN NORTH CAROLINA TO DEPRESS THE TURNOUT OF MODERATE REPUBLICANS, HE’S DOWN BALLOT RACES THAT WHERE YOU HAVE EXTREME CANDIDATES COULD IN FACT DETERMINE PRESIDENTIAL RACES. AND SO IT’LL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE HEARD OUR POLITICAL DIRECTOR, RICK KLEIN, SAY IS WHAT YOU KNOW, IS WHAT’S BEST FOR TRUMP, BEST FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AND THAT, OF COURSE, REMAINS TO BE SEEN. MIKE, JOHN, MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. YOU KNOW, JOHN HAS STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT I DO. ALL RIGHT. COMING UP NEXT, TESLA

AND EX-CEO ELON MUSK, IN A WIDE RANGING INTERVIEW WITH DON LEMON, THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT MODERATING HATE SPEECH AND IF HE’LL BE ENDORSING A CANDIDATE FOR. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN AFTER THE BREAK. >> WHENEVER NEWS BREAKS, WE ARE HERE IN ISRAEL, A NATION AT WAR AFTER THAT BRUTAL

PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE FROM. >> ABC NEWS THIS IS “START HERE” TO BE IN THE KNOW AND A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY’S TOP STORIES A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO. LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST ARMED WITH FOUR EDWARD

OUR MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE ABC WEEK IGNORE DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY BET YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE BECAUSE YOU’VE ADMITTED THAT YOU’VE HAD

YOU HAVE ACADEMY PRESCRIPTIONS. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WHAT’S THAT FOR? WELL, I MEAN, THAT’S PRETTY PRIVATE TO ASK SOMEBODY ABOUT A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION, YOU KNOW, UM, BUT IT’S, I THINK IT’S, IT’S, I MEAN, I’D SAY LIKE, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE SORT OF A, I DON’T KNOW, LIKE

A NEGATIVE CHEMICAL IN MY IN MY BRAIN, LIKE DEPRESSION, I GUESS. AND THEN KETAMINE IS HELPFUL FOR GETTING, GETTING ONE OUTSIDE OF A NEGATIVE FRAME OF MIND. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT WAS A CLIP OF BILLIONAIRE ENTREPRENEUR ELON MUSK ANSWERING PERSONAL QUESTIONS IN AN INTERVIEW THAT WAS TAPED FRIDAY

WITH FORMER CNN HOST DON LEMON. IT WAS TO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST EPISODE OF LEMON’S NEW SHOW THAT WAS EXCLUSIVE TO ACCESS FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER. BUT MUSK THEN CANCELED THE PLATFORM’S PARTNERSHIP WITH LEMON HOURS AFTER THE TWO FILMED THE INTERVIEW AS A LEMON, THEN RELEASING ENTIRE SIT DOWN OF THE PREMIERE

EPISODE ONLINE AND ON ABC’S. IN A WIDE RANGING AND AT TIMES VERY TENSE CONVERSATION, THE TESLA CEO SPOKE ABOUT HATE SPEECH ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA, HIS RECENT MEETING WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND ANTI-SEMITIC CONSPIRE THEORIES. SO I WANT TO BRING BACK MY PANEL HERE. MIKE, JON, HEIDI, L.Z. TO TALK

MORE ABOUT THIS. SO, JON, LET’S HERE START WITH YOU. LOOK, DON, SAYING THAT THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE INTERVIEW, THAT HE SAYS HIS QUESTIONS WERE RESPECTFUL. SOME WOULD ARGUE INSTEAD THAT IT WAS MORE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE. WHAT’S YOUR TAKE? >> YEAH, MY TAKE IS THAT, YOU KNOW?

MUSK IS A REMARKABLE PERSON. HE’S REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL. HE’S A DISRUPTOR BECAUSE HE HE’S A DISRUPTOR. WE NOW HAVE VERY SUCCESSFUL PRIVATE SPACECRAFTS GOING INTO ORBIT AND WE HAVE HE’S REVOLUTIONIZED THE AUTOMOBILE MARKET WITH VEHICLES AND HE SOMETIMES HAS BAD JUDGMENT AND I DON’T THINK IT’S VERY GOOD JUDGMENT TO TAKE

A DISGRACED FORMER BROADCASTER AND HIS FIRST ATTEMPT BACK INTO THE SPOTLIGHT AND NOW HE’S GOING TO TRY AND HIT THE HOME RUN AND DO THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY MORE SELF-PROMOTING THAN THEY ARE ABOUT THE JOURNALISM. AND I THINK HE JUST SCREWED UP. I DON’T KNOW WHAT MATTERS SO MUCH.

ACCESS TO AND I UNDERSTAND HE WAS ON TWITTER, BUT MY TAKE IS HE SCREWED UP. I GIVE HIM A PLATFORM NOW AND HOPEFULLY I’LL LEARN FROM IT. OH, THAT’S INTERESTING. L.Z., WHAT’S WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? DO YOU THINK IT WAS IT WAS A MISTAKE FOR ELON MUSK TO TAKE

ON THIS INTERVIEW? I MEAN, ESSENTIALLY. RIGHT. IT IS FAIR GAME FOR JOURNALISTS TO REPORT ON SOMEONE LIKE FIRST ,I NEED TO YOU KNOW, IT’S FAIR TO SAY THAT DON IS FRIEND OF MINE, GOOD FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME. ALSO A FORMER COLLEAGUE OVER AT CNN. AND I WOULD CHALLENGE

THE NOTION THAT HE’S A DISGRACED JOURNALIST, ESPECIALLY GIVEN IN LIGHT OF THE INFORMATION COME OUT ABOUT HIS DISMISSAL SINCE THEN. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU KNOW, ELON MUSK IS A DISRUPTOR. BUT MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS HE DISRUPTIVE FOR? IS IT FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL OF US? WHAT IT’S FOR GOVERNMENT

HIMSELF. YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND JON IS TALKING ABOUT DONALD FOX BEING SELF-PROMOTER. WHAT EXACTLY IS EVEN PROMOTED BY PRIVACY ACTS AND THEN PUTTING HIMSELF ON AS A FIRST GUEST ON THE SHOW. SO I WOULD SAY THAT IT’S EASY TO GET ENAMORED WITH THE BRILLIANCE OF THE.

BUT WE SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS SOMEONE ORIGINATED FROM APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA, WENT TO CANADA AND WANTS TO PUT A CHIP YOUR BRAIN. >> YEAH, I MEAN, IT IS IMPORTANT RIGHT TO ALWAYS QUESTION LEADERSHIP AND TO HOLD THOSE IN LEADERSHIP ACCOUNTABLE NO MATTER WHAT. HEIDI, TO YOU.

IN A STATEMENT, ELON MUSK CONFIRMED, THE ENDING OF THE PARTNERSHIP, AND HE SAID THAT LEMON LAUGHED. AUTHENTICITY. WHAT’S YOUR RESPONSE? FIRST OFF, I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE AT THE DISCUSSION OF WHY ARE YOU TAKING YOUR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS? I DON’T YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW WHY DON WENT THERE.

I THINK THAT THAT CREATES A PROBLEM FOR FUTURE INTERVIEWS . BUT I DO FIND IT IRONIC THAT THE KING OF LET’S STOP CANCEL CULTURE, THE FIRST THING THAT HE DOES WHEN HE’S CHALLENGED IS CANCEL THE PROGRAM. AND SO, I MEAN, I THINK I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT FOR ELON MUSK,

IF HE’S GOING TO BE THE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO BE THE CHAMPION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT, LET IT FLOW. >> THAT’S A REALLY INTERESTING TAKE THERE, HEIDI. MIKE, DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT? AND IN GENERAL, YOUR THOUGHTS ON MUSK COMMENTS ABOUT CENSORSHIP? >> YEAH, MEAN, I THINK

IT’S — IT’S A SLIPPERY WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO BUT WE’RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT IS THAT THERE IS A NEW CEO OF TWITTER OF X FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER WHO HAS NOW BEEN ENGAGED IN CONTENT MODERATION. WHEN SHE SPOKE AT THE HEARING
