But the recent protests have blocked Distribution Efforts leaving some food despoil. Its frustrating for the wfp officials as they know. You dont have to look far to find hunger here. These farmers pointing to their stomachs lifting their shirts to us. Hungry a lot of folks will look at haiti and theyll say, its heading issues the question that no doubt people in the us will ask is, well, why should we while there are two reasons why you need to l, first of all, theyre on humanitarian grounds but then theres also her only selfinterest in the us. So the longer you wait to act on haiti the more migrants there will be on our southern border. Its that simple many here, search for normal seat where they can, even with the threat of violence, missing mass for some, is not an option. They wear their sunday best and unite in prayer places of worship are not immune from gang tear. They at least off for a moment of training and hope for now. David culver, cnn, portauprince, haiti im john berman and castle rock, colorado, where more than 1 Million People have voted already in this state, largely dropping off their ballots at drop boxes, just like that. This this is the beginning of Super Tuesday. And back here in the city, even though the economy has taken off, Many Americans say theyre struggling with Economic Issues even the Cookie Monster is complaining the white house is responding as Shrinkflation Hit so many Household Goods the worlds biggest its pollution monitor hows that for a title . It Just Launched into the sky and has the power to call out some of the worlds worst offenders. Im kate bolduan with john berman and sara sidner. This is cnn and then news central it is Super Tuesday. But how will History Books remember this one . Will it be the one that all but clinch the 2024 ticket this early . The one that reveal new cracks, any Reelection Pitch or the one were nikki haley surprised us all we will soon learn friends as more polls across more states are now open, voters can now vote in the state to see behind me there in green. And very soon these west coast states in blue, well be joined in the party more than a third of gop delegates are at stake today. Right now, donald trump has 276, meaning tonight, he could get very close to nabbing the nomination. As for President Biden today, he could add more than 1,400 delegates to help him reach his nearly 2000 goal john berman is out in the cold and castle rock, colorado. Youre all bundled up with that nice scarves. John, i just noticed breaking news. More people have come to that ballot box were at eight cars. Eight cars have now visited this ballot box here in castle rock. This is Douglas County, colorado. This is a county that leans republicans the last several elections, even as colorado has voted democratic, and as weve been saying, nearly 1 Million People have already cast ballots in colorado, largely at places just like this, there are more than 400 drop boxes scattered around the state. People drive up. Weve seen them do it. They get right to this slot right here, and they take their ballot. And this is what the ballot, this is what the ballot looks like here. They take out there filled balloon and they put it in that slot. Now you can see in this ballot, Donald Trumps name is on it. Of course, there was that Big Supreme Court ruling yesterday which determined that states do not have the right to remove him from the ballot for being an insurrectionist. His name was on the ballot anyway, because the previous decision had been stayed, so people have been voting here here for some time, nearly 1 million, as i said now there is also inperson voting today that will kick off in about an hour, actually two hours from now, where you will see people walking into Polling Locations, Casting Ballots inperson. But really just a few more than 75 85 dependent on the election, will cast their ballot either by mail where people would have had to set them in more than a week ago or at these drop boxes, which are extremely popular, thats a Freight Chain Driving past this right now. Again, we see eight people drive up to this dropbox, which may not seem like a lot, but its only 06 00 a. M. Here in Mountain Time in colorado. So people are participating on this Super Tuesday now, one of the states are in this case a commonwealth that we will be watching on this day is virginia. Virginia is one of two states along with vermont that doesnt have Party Registration open primaries could be a state where nikki haley fares better. That is what well be watching for. Lets go to the ground. Lets go to virginia now, Alayna Treene is in richmond. Alayna well, good morning and happy happy. Super tuesday, john . Yes. Youre exactly right. This is one a few states here today that is an open primary, that means democrats, republicans independents, all a lie can vote in this and they can choose whichever candidate they want regardless of their Party Registration. I actually just chatted with two voters on their way out of this Polling Location behind me, their names were lin and steven. Theyre both registered republicans and said you voted for nikki haley today, asked why and they said because as they do not like donald trump and another question i asked them was if donald trump were to go on to win the republican nomination as all signs are currently pointing to who would you vote for in november . If it was a matchup between donald trump and joe biden and they had a very difficult time answering that question. One of them said steve said that he would consider a thirdparty candidate and lins that she really wasnt sure what should you should do. So thats just one sampling of how some people in this state are feeling. And look, i can tell you from my conversations with the trump campaign, they do see virginia as very crucial so to their potential general Election Strategy as a battleground in their eyes, they tell me and its actually one of two states they visited over the weekend in the leadup two Super Tuesday. But really the only two states they visited were virginia and north carolina. And thats because they really are going to try and make a play for it here. Now, john, i also just wanted to give you a little insight into how the from campaign is viewing this day with Super Tuesday, they are very confident of their chances. Here today. And in this state, but across the country and about his overall performance and what they really want to see at the end of the night when donald trump gets up on a stage at maralago, is he wants to be able to claim victory, but also hes really hoping that nikki haley drops out. They know that she has pledged to stay in through Super Tuesday, but its unclear what she will do next, and thats really what theyre hoping for it for him to be able to really solidify himself as not only the front runner, but the presumptive, right . Republican nominee, john very interesting to watch the different states that do different ways in virginia and open primary here in colorado, there are republicans, democrats, and unaffiliated voters, unaffiliated voters actually make up the largest chunk they can vote in one of the two primaries here. So those, so called independents can have a big impact, but it varies from state to state. And nikki haley looking at these d states in different ways, Alayna Treene. Thank you so much for that, kate. Lets go back to you. Lets talk more about the Super Tuesday joining us now, our cnn political commentators Margaret Hoover and maria cardona. Its good to see you guys. So Alayna Treene was talking a little bit about theyre donald trump campaign. Theyre thinking going in today, very optimistic. All the things nikki haley was on cnn yesterday and she says that shes going to stay in the race as long as were competitive. And she has not defined, shes not defining and still not defining what competitive looks like, what their measure is given any given state after, after today, what do you think competitive looks like competitive for nikki haley in order to stay in the race will mean she has to be able to persuade donors to continue to fund an effort that can get her over the delegate count to actually have a clear path towards a nomination thats whats going to persuade them by the way, delicate donors, in my view, had been enormously generous to continue to demonstrate that it is worth having an alternative to trump in this race. I mean, she is raised extraordinary amount of money even after losing her home state of south carolina. So theres theres an importance i think for republicans guns, you want to stand for Something Else to demonstrate the weakness and donald trump, there is this alternative to the previous two, essentially, an incumbent nominee and yet, if theres not a path to the delegate count to actually winning it, its gonna be hard to see how donors continue to put millions of dollars the coffers of an effort that wont be able to simply hit the math. Yeah. I mean, its a great point with an eye towards the possibility. Maybe the likelihood, whatever you want to say of a general election rematch between donald trump and joe biden. Im wondering what is is more concerning to you, maria, on this day. Is it the possibility that donald trump can win over nikki haleys 2030, 40 that shes been able to hold on to ieee, his weakness that weve seen or the democratic voters are just not showing up for joe biden because we know theres the enthusiasm hasnt been there. Weve seen in polls well, i think at this point the campaign should be concerned about everything because thats the only way that you win, right . Paranoia is a good thing. Yes, absolutely. And while i think theres a lot of flaws in the current polls, lets say that thats where we are, because thats going to mean that the campaign is going to leave nothing on the table that theyre going to take nothing for granted and theyre going to put every single investment and effort and to making sure that not just the Democratic Coalition shows up for joe biden in november, but all of these voters that we have shown, donald trump has a huge weakness with nikki haley, voters with the independence, with the never trumpers, with suburban women. And all of that i think is going to be the focus of the biden in campaign. And i do think that today you are going to have more of a focus as to what the general election is going to look like. And i think that is going to help the Biden Campaign right now. You have all of the focus on the gop because theyre the ones that are having this crazy primary, right . And normally, when you have an incumbent, a lot of the energy is with the opposition. Those are the two forces that were seeing right now. And all of these polls, the Democratic Coalition hasnt come home yet. Theyre not necessarily paying attention. And i also tell you another dynamic that were seeing in these polls, a lot of times what youre seeing in these polls is people, even democrats, they are theyre showing their frustration for them. Its very different to say to an anonymous poll in anonymous pollster. Yes, im very frustrated with joe biden. He hasnt done 79, 10, dont want to see this room. But when it becomes consequential in terms of the choice that what do we match when it is the rematch we have seen that democrats are actually overperforming margaret if Super Tuesday renders nikki haleys something akin to just a protest candidate going forward. Does sticking to it further, if donors remain there, does it impact her future running as a republican down the road . Do you think the future good or bad . I mean, i think the future of the party is up for grabs. Abs in and its up to leadership. People like nikki haley to stand for Something Different than what donald trump is offering. And so i dont think we should be so cynical to think, will this hurt her, right for taking a stand, we should applaud her. Were taking essentially reading on that possibility feel like maybe its laying the groundwork for im going to stand for Something Different and more. Maybe there has been a permanent realignment amongst the right in this country, at least, you know, thats, thats a question up for grabs. I will say her staying in this long has had an enormous impact. On downballot races. There are 115 house races that are going to be contested today and many of those are republican on republican primaries where trump has endorsed somebody to challenge and an establishment quote, Unquote Establishment republican who by the way, Establishment Republicans in this case still endorsed donald trump. But you really do have republicans who are reasonable, who want to Work Together with democrats and other appointments to actually pass a Border Security bill, send funding to ukraine and theyre being targeted by trump endorsed candidates to just make the party more pure. I think the effect of having somebody like nikki nikki haleys still on the ticket today, helps the Party Downballot as well so much. Its going to be a lot of Lessons Learned today. The outcome of the how many delegates and where they go where maybe not be as much up for grabs, but still its always exciting because polls dont matter today. The only polls that do are actually there you go. Thank you devote our phones over to you, sir. All right. Thank you.

Were going to show you one, and i will ask you, what does this one tell you . Ill leave you to ponder that. Well, we also have this new reporting that republican senator rick scott right there on the left of florida is weighing is weighing a bid to succeed. Mitch mcconnell well, as the next Top Republican in the senate, that position comes with huge amounts of power. Now senator scott, you would be joining Senators Johnson and john cornyn, whove already thrown their hats in the ring for the leadership position its good to see you as laura and fox and washington, shes got much more obvious and senator scott, he went after this powerful position once before. What is this leadership phi going to look like this time lorin yeah. I mean, its going to take months really to get underway, kate, but its already taking shape. You had yesterday, senator john soon announcing he was getting in this race. You have that tweet last night from rick scott, obviously one of the Big Questions here is what role well former President Donald Trump take in this leadership election in the United States senate, you have a lot of republican members who argue this is something that perhaps donald trump should stay out of. This is about members picking their own leadership. And no matter who gets the job, theyre going to have to work if donald trump is elected again with President Trump or if biden is elected with President Biden, but its really unclear exactly how much influence trump will have in this race, in part because kate, this is a Secret Ballot. Senators go Behind Closed Doors in a secret meeting. They have, they cast their votes and no one really knows who theyre supporting. So while donald trump might have a favorite candidate, while donald trump might make it clear on truth, social, or on x, who he is backing. The reality is no one knows who senators are actually casting their ballot for. So rick scott clearly trying to send a signal if you were to get in this race that donald trump and he have a close working relationship. Senator the, relationship with trump is a bit rockier or has been in the past, although thune has now endorsed donald trump for president and then you have senator john cornyn, who when he made his announcement, made it clear in his statement that hed worked with trump over a series of issues in the past, and i think everyone is trying to make make it clear that they have Trump Bonafides in some way or another. But ultimately, this is going to be a Senate Republican conference vote. A Senate Republican conference decision. And rick scott tried once before to challenge mitch mcconnell. He wasnt successful the Secret Ballot element of this, i think is going to be a critical bit. Its good to see you, lauren. Thank you so much, sir. All right. New released Text Messages.

Adam schiff for senate. Im adam schiff, and i approve this message. Caught in the trap and he couldnt get out. Vegas was having an Identity Crisis that was the beginning of the downfall. But vegas at it differently the idea, vegas, The Story Of Sin City next sunday at ten on cnn. Following the new revelations from former Trump Organization cfo Allen Weisselberg. Trumps campaign is going on the attack once again targeting manhattan da, alvin bragg and the statement Trumps Campaign claims bragg has committed repeated Prosecutorial Misconduct in his illegal desperate pursuit of trump. The statement goes on to say the da has turned a blind eye to the admitted and repeated perjury of Michael Cohen joining us now, former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of new york jessica roth. You hear that you see that statement from donald trump, but Allen Weisselberg admitted to perjury, correct. Give us some sense of whats happening here. Yeah. So it was a surprise and Allen Weisselberg showed up in court and pled guilty teach a perjury. I think it was yesterday. Yeah, a lot happening. The purpose of the letter that was filed by mr. Trumps lawyers as i read, it, was really to erode public trust in the integrity of the das prosecution of trump by pointing to the lies and unreliability of Michael Cohen as a witness. There were accusations of Prosecutorial Misconduct and selective prosecution in prosecuting Allen Weisselberg for perjury. Whereas trump says that Michael Cohen also has engaged in additional perjury. Why isnt da prosecuting Michael Cohen . Thats an odd argument to be hearing from what someone who is a third party essentially thats the kind of argument expect Allen Weisselbergs lawyers to make. They didnt make that. And it also comes in a letter to bragg as opposed to emotion before a judge. So this is a letter if its in fact asking da bragg to reconsider some of his choices that could have been filed privately with the District Attorney and said it was released to the public. So i read it really as a Public Relations move and attempt to to undermine the publics faith in the integrity of the prosecution against trump. A political stage, a political move as well. And weve seen that in other cases, especially here in new york, trumps legal team has asked the new york judge presiding over his Hush Money Case to block a limited gag order that was proposed by state prosecutors. Trumps attorneys are saying that because hes a leading candidate in the election, speaking of politics, he shouldnt be barred from sort of facing this, this gag order. Where do you see this going . Because the courts are about the law not about the politics. That is how theyre supposed to be. Yes. And i expect that work what were going to see is the trial court imposing a limited gag order as requested by the District Attorney, similar to the one that was ultimately affirmed by the Dc Circuit Court of appeals and imposed by the Trial Court In The Dc case it is a limited order. It doesnt prevent mr. Trump from talking in general about the case, but rather from talking in a way that would tend to cause threats to individuals. Court personnel, members of the prosecution team, notably not the da himself, who still fair game. But things that would tend to undermine the integrity of the Procedure Greetings because they would threaten witnesses or jurors the threats to jurors witnesses, anybody whos involved in the case is a huge nono in any court case, i dont want to ask you about this new information were getting in about the rightwing attorney who was who was a big trump supporter, Kenneth Cheseboro he helped devise the fake electors plan. And were now seeing some of the Text Messages that are going back and forth where you see that theyre still trying to overturn the 2020 election even after the january 6 attack. What do you make of all of this . I mean, this is sort of giving you a birds eye view of all the things that were going on. And one of those Text Messages, according to all of the texts going back andforth, one person says, hey, im going to let the white house know about this and then Lo And Behold see this fake elector plan happening inperson on video yeah so this new evidence is really astounding and it supports the theory set forth in both the january 6 indictment brought by jack smith, the special counsel, and also by fani willis in the georgia rico case, which really put forth in those indictments that this was a scheme to overturn the election through in part the of fake electors can chesebro had been saying to prosecutors, investigators who he said he was cooperating with, that he was really just an attorney providing legal theories and that the theory about using alternate slates of electors was in his view, just there in case some of the litigation challenging the Election Results in certain states went trumps its way this new information really puts the lie to that argument and shows that there was a plan to use these alternate electors even if there was no litigation pending challenging the Election Results in an effort to overturn the legitimate results of the election. Its really stark seeing the evidence in front of you talking about it as one thing, seeing the evidence a whole different story. Jessica roth. Thank you so much for coming on.

This is a huge de, in the nominating process but moments ago, we heard from donald trump, who very well may be the republican nominee, the Semi Official republican nominee shortly he said hes not even focused on the prior primaries anymore. Hes fully looking at President Biden now with me now, is cnn political commentator, him from spectrum news, errol louis, mr. Lewis always great to see you donald trump says hes focused exclusively on President Biden. What does that mean . Do you think well, what it means is that he wants this primary process to be over. What he doesnt want to hear about is the 40 of Republican Voters who pretty consistently across all of these different caucuses and primaries are voting for nikki haley he haley says that 40 cant just be ignored. Shes talking a lot like somebody who wants to maybe even bring that 40 into the convention and make some demands whether its for personnel, maybe for resources, maybe for a change in policy. But donald trump, it would be premature to assume that because hes going to win the nomination asian, that hes got the full backing of the party and thats something to keep in mind as we watch the results tonight, john what are the issues . Is the 40 for nikki haley is 40 of voters. Its not 40 of delegates and when youre talking about going to the convention, youre going with delegates, youre not going with voters. Errol, so i do wonder for nikki haley how much longer she feels like she wants to continue this . Well, thats right. And fact, nikki haley apparently has not scheduled any Campaign Events for after tonight. That alone will tell you that and could be near for her. She might just kind of throw in her cards and that could be the end of it. On the other hand, we should keep in mind when candidates leave a campaign hey, they normally say that they have suspended it, not that they have ended it. And what that could in fact mean is that shes going to hold onto that political Lottery Ticket if you want to call it that on the off chance that something should happen to donald trump legally or otherwise that would make it impossible for him to continue. She would be the last person standing so i think shes going to at least maybe preserve that level of viability but also again you know, you never know she may have a reason to go forward and say, look, i represent a movement, a tendency, an objection, if nothing else to donald trump. And that voice needs to be heard. So errol, i cover the George W Bush campaign at 2000 and he basically wrapped up the republican nomination by the end of march. And then it seemed like an eternity, several attorneys until the convention. And during those intervening months, not a lot happened in the president ial campaign i wonder if this time its going to feel different if these candidates, if it is President Biden and donald trump, what they will do to fill that void. Lets talk about President Biden because it all starts with him thursday night at the State Of The Union. What does he need to do there . And then how does he continue to fill that void until the conventions . Well, look, President Biden and the democrats know that they have to call the base home. Theyve got to make sure that they can make a case and that the base voters are in place. You do that first and then you start reaching across the aisle. You start reaching out for independence. So i would expect in the State Of The Union speech to hear a rip roaring call to what . Immigrants always talk about, which is a preserving social security, making sure the economy works for the Working Class in the middleclass, and making sure that a womans right to choose is preserved and safeguarded. And that right there, well hit a lot of their base constituencies and then theyve got to hit him again and again and again and get it organized and get the because Union Households in place i think theyve got a lot of work ahead of them fortunately, theyve got a lot of time. So from the democratic point of view, its going to be, i think a Base Strategy of the kind that weve seen for the last four or five cycles. John you use the Phrase Rip Roaring and thats interesting too, because i was reading axios on the way here in axios notes that there are democrats who are excited to see President Biden in a more fighting mood. It seems from that evan osnos profile in the new yorker and other places do you think that is what democrats want to see . They want to see a defiant President Biden, who is directly taking on donald trump, throwing around terms like loser, which hes what hes been doing no question about it. I mean, the particulars of fighting with donald trump, thats a different kind of category. But what im expecting to see is what we saw when Bill Clinton Ran For Reelection in 1996. And when obama ran with, with joe biden, by the way, for reelection in 2012, which is to say we are going to focus on the economy first and foremost, were going to make the case that we are the best stewards of the economy compared with the other party. And that were going to fight for the middleclass and for the working man and woman. Were going to fight for Working Families as bill clinton used to say, till the last dog dies. And thats a way of letting people know that thats what the priority he is even if things arent perfect. So you dont want to paint a rosy picture thats at odds with peoples reality. But you say like, look, inflation is coming down unemployment is coming down. Jobs are expanding. Were going into new areas of technology that are going to create major prosperity for Working Families. And were going to try and make the tax system and every other part of the Economy Shore up that progress. Youve got to make the case. I mean, those who dont make the case end up going home, losers, and again, doesnt get every last family but it is the basic democratic message. And i think thats what people are expecting to hear from the president errol louis. Great to see you. Thank you so much for being with us and sara when you next see me, i may be inside for the first time today, which i will say without complaining will be a Welcome Change says its not 30 degrees here yet. You know what im hoping is that you have a rip roarin good time there and castle rock colorado, maybe theyll let you in. Maybe they wont, john. Thank you for teeing up our next story happening today. President biden is set to announce a new strikeforce tasked with cracking down on what they call corporate ripoffs in everything from groceries to Prescription Drugs. This coming ahead of the president s state of the year Union Address on thursday night, cnns Vanessa Yurkevich is joining us now. This announcement is coming amid a really Big Conversation about socalled shrinkflation and the shrinkflation effect. Its fun to say and apparently Cookie Monster is jumping into this. Whats going on . Hes leading the charge. Bottom line is do not mess with Cookie Monsters cookie. But a lot of americans agree hes talking about something called shrinkflation. And this is what we see when corporations shrink the product size to avoid raising prices. Further, research has indicated that consumers are actually more okay with smaller product bucks than higher prices. But essentially, if you look at Cookie Prices over the past two years or so for about a pound of cookies, you see that the price started about 370 for a pound. Its all the way up to 50 to a pound. And in the last year, according to a study by senator bob casey in just the last year, weve seen Cookie Products shrink by 6 . And so you have everyone dow, jumping on this conversation with Cookie Monster who said me hate shrinkflation, me, cookies are getting smaller. You have President Biden who actually, the white house retweeting about this chiming in saying c is for consumers theres getting ripped off. You have everyone from Sherrod Brown from ohio saying that his constituents are absolutely sick of shrinkflation and you have Elizabeth Warren and you have bob casey saying that they actually have a bill for this. They want the ftc to crack down on corporations that are shrinking their products while keeping prices its the same if not higher. Surprising fact that paper goods has actually seen the biggest shrinkflation in the last few years. And you also have the worry about something called greedflation this is essentially when corporations may see prices softening on some of their products, but still keep the product smaller. And that is what we do not want to see. We want to see corporations keeping up with changing prices. Thats probably a tweet best left for oscar, the grouch. Instead, im going away, he might weigh in soon, but you clearly have even though hes assessing e street character, Cookie Monster really tapping into something that Many Americans are seeing and feeling right now, the politicians are responding, are Cookie Monster has the floor. Thank you so much.

Putin kunal, the brand i trust that night out on the ice, he saw something. I saw nothing either with so much charming man, youre ever going to meet, or he was your Worst Nightmare . He was bad man. Youve adopted a kid and now theyre trying to kill you. Want people to pay for what theyve done you have to dig to get to the truth whos going to bad for everybody new this morning, ukraine says that its sank. A russian patrol ship in the black sea overnight, the new images coming in show an unmanned drone approaching a ship just before a large explosion. Now this attack comes as Ukrainian Forces are running low on everything from tanks to ammunition, they say, and now well, essentially begging us lawmakers to send over help in the form of the multibilliondollar aid package that now seems almost permanently stalled. Now, cnns nick paton walsh, she saw the strain on ukraines soldiers firsthand when he got this exclusive look at the front lines its a lonely path ahead the russians have never been louder or closer. Occupied. Bakhmut is just up the road. But now some ukrainian tank guns are silent just when theyre needed. Most here. They dont have enough shells. Sometimes they just wont far at all for all day other days still shooting constantly and it is loud on the other side of that hill and its sort of surreal to hear that sort of noise over there. And see this tank unit having a russia, there are was a boy year, the year was given the much jim just sub little militia is little, but we learned they didnt fire a tool that day. All the day before or the next day the silence here is what losing sounds like. So too is what these soldiers had to say. Yes. Now kinds of need a shirt, found the dng. Still wanted to Moisture Moves is a here in Kyiv Last Night certain units that there here are running out of tanks. How angry doesnt make you . Yeah, im im absolutely off. Theres no point in trying to paint this in any sort of light where its good for us that russia takes ukraine. Thats going to be very, very, very bad for us geopolitically and joining me now for more on, this is ambassador mark green is a president and ceo of the wilson center, former republican congressman from wisconsin, and the former head of usaid ambassador. Thank you so much for your time. What is your reaction to hearing that nick paton walshs reporting what hes hearing from soldiers on the frontlines that theyre now rationing ammunition. Well, you really do get the sense that were at a crossroads moment. So the ukrainians are remarkably courageous, remarkably resilient, and innovative. But they need the tools to succeed theres no question about their character or their willingness to confront russian forces. But they have to have the tools to do it, to push back nick paton walsh, he, he says that he said today that he says theres a sense on the ground that the that things are shifting in russias favor in ukraine. The sense that hes getting your two years in Vladimir Putin. Sure appears embolden youd said during a recent visit in ukraine, i was watching that your money is on the ukrainians. Where does your confidence come from combat well, again, i think its the resilience of the ukrainians. We traveled my recent trip, 1,300 miles all around the country, including two areas that russians once occupied. And the russians move, or the ukrainians move immediately whenever theres an attack to repair and rebuild. And theyve found ways to keep childrens lives as normal as possible. So their character is not in doubt. What i thinks missing back here is understanding the nature of this conflict. I think we too often characterize this as a bilateral, almost Family Squabble across the border between ukraine and russia. And its far from that everybodys Watching Ukrainians are watching to see whether or not the us will stand with them. The regions watching. I was in moldova. Theyre worried about the Disinformation Tools are seeing coming this way putins efforts to target civilian infrastructure and to displace people to cause burdens and pained and costs in the region so i think this is very much a moment where deterrence is in doubt. People are looking and trying to see whether or not the us will continue to be the leader, the Deterrent Force that has really given the modern world order that we all count on, an ambassador thats where, thats what leads peoples attention to go directly back to capitol hill and where that aid package is or isnt going, theres no concrete Forward Movement right now on passing ukraine aid in Congress Look and you know, congress while you were there for many years in the house, do you think from your perspective now that ensuring ukraine aid gets a vote on the House Floor Is Worth speaker johnson putting a speakership at risk well, im not going to provide Political Council there anyone, but what i will say is from the perspective of americas presence around the world and what people have come to count on and our leadership in the world. This is that key moment. And so actually voting on and passing the aid which i think eventually they will do it its crucial for sending the right signal around the world. Again, were seeing from Vladimir Putin that dictators around the march. Its not just what hes doing. Its the company he keeps. Remember where hes getting his weapons from iran, north korea, hes getting at economic support from china. Hes getting support from Venezuela Agua hardly the characteristics of a bilateral small squabble. This is essential for American Leadership in the world, and this is essential for pushing back on dictatorship, which seems emboldened by her inaction ambassador mark green. Thanks so much for your time, sir. All right. Its being called the i in the sky, a brand new satellite that could give unprecedented data on one of the most critical Greenhouse Gases that is at play in global warning, methane our bill weir, explaining how this is going to hold fossil fuel Companies Accountable three ignition and lift paid for by the likes of billionaire jeff bezos and other donors the Nonprofit Environmental Defense FundJust Launched a new kind of i in the Sky Mclean Sat is designed to circle the earth every 95 minutes or so and with cuttingedge detail, spot plumes and leaks of planet cooking pollution Long Associated with the production of natural gas. If Carbon Dioxide is a blanket of average thickness, overheating the earth for centuries, methane is like a blanket seven feet thick with over 80 times the Heat Trapping Power of co2 for about two decades after its release sometimes it leaks from old equipment or orphan wells, and sometimes when theres no one to buy it, Companies Just burn it and a practice known as flaring what we found here in the Permian Basin is that operators are wasting enough gas to heat about 2 million homes a year in 2021, edf took us up over the Oil And Gas Fields of texas to sniff out Methane Leakers with a specially equipped airplane remember, Carbon Dioxide down here but now they can fly over every oil and gas basin in the world, or 80 of global supplies are fracked. And we can basically create a movie of whats going on with respect to Methane Emissions before we could just take snapshots when we had a plane in the air and we can get permission to fly. This is a whole new game it really creates an enormous where ms leap forward in our ability to really understand Greenhouse Gas emissions, while other satellites can spot methane, what they find is often kept private. But edf says that in about 18 months, their data will be open and free on Google Earth Engine for anyone to see, you just have well clarity now, a clarity never had before, and i think people realize you dont have to accept what somebody says, whether thats a government or accompany, you can actually directly look at it, see what it is. And that is completely different than anything weve ever had for Greenhouse Gases. What i referred to as were going to have radical transparency and what has been the response from big oil and Gas Companies that youre doing this warning many of the companys see this as real opportunity because they really do believe and i suspected that theyre doing a good job, but many of them arent. It gives countries and companies the tools to select who they buy gas from and where that gas so the first time theyll have the ability to make really informed decisions. And those informed decisions will have enormous positive impact on the climate radical transparency. Hows this going to play . I mean, thats a really interesting way to put it exactly. Have also often wondered if we could see planet
