Instead of a trail of broken promises were investing more money than ever in black families and black community. Joining us now to discuss is democratic senator John Fetterman of the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. Before we begin, i do want to explain to our viewers where is because of your stroke two years ago, it can still sometimes be difficult for you to process audio rapidly, or you are using a speech to text app to transcribe my questions in real time. Thats what that Computer Screen is. So you can read them on the ipad in front of you let us begin. So a New York Times poll this week shows President Biden earning support port from only 69 of black voters in pennsylvania. The mayor of philadelphia, Cherelle Parker said, quote, im not satisfied with the margins that ive heard about. We need to connect the service and the investment that the biden harris has made. And its impact on people unquote juwan, 91 of the black vote in pennsylvania two years ago, what did you do in 2022 . That President Biden is not doing now . Well, i havent done anything differently and i really want to give a shout out to the mayor as well too. Shes i think shes been fantastic so far and she has been willing to take on some really difficult kinds of issues like in kensington, you probably are familiar with that. So i really salute taking on that and joe biden is showing up again and again and i cant speak specifically about the black votes and their own opinions. I cant speak to their experience, but i do believe that joe biden is going to carry with those kinds of margins. And i think he is going to win pennsylvania. But its going to be very close just the way it was in 2016, he actually one and in 2020 he lost. But i think prevail here as well again youve become famous or infamous depending on your Point Of View for your stalwart support of israel since the october 7 attacks, especially, but before then as well, israel recovered the body of yet another hostage yesterday. Thats for Hostage Bodies recovered this week the us is assessing that israel has amassed enough troops to launch a fullscale Ground Operation in the Southern Gaza city of rafah. Despite biden President Biden warning that netanyahu and israel doing that would cross a red line. Youve said you defer to what israel thinks is best. So do you think joe biden is wrong for trying to stop a major rafah invasion yeah. I mean, i think itd be unfortunate if its being infamous to be supporting israel. And ive been very supportive of israel from the beginning of all that, and i think its important that america stands with are very, very critical lie. There as well too. And id like to point out that hamas as what started this, and hamas could surrender and send every or the hostages back and it could all end right now, in fact, they rejected the recent Ceasefire Deal that would have had six weeks. There of peace and allowed everybody to to be fed and to continue to move more towards peace. But now hamas is convinced that they dont have to. Theres no, they dont need to take any kind of a deal except if anything on their own terms. And i dont think all of the capitulated and all those kinds of things arent helpful and i dont think thats going to convince anyone that is now. Think that not committed to stand with trying to have both sides on that the reason i said infamous is because there are a lot of progressives, a lot of people in your party who are mad at you for your strong support of israel and for your continued condemnations of hamas. Why do you think that is . I can understand why being a very strong supporter of israel would anybody would be upset with that if somebody is very much partying, supporting the propalestinian view, i thats fine. Its reasonable. But i just decided to be on the side for israel on that. All right. Lets turn to the clash in the House Oversight committee on thursday night, just to refresh our audiences memory heres a quick clip you know what youre here for. Well, you dont want its about i think your fake eyelashes are messing up if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebodys bleach blonde, bad built butch body so you responded to all of this by saying in the past, ive described the us house is the Jerry Springer show. Today. Im apologizing to the Jerry Springer show democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez responded by saying, quote i understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and massage it being a both sides issue but i stand up to bullies instead of becoming one congresswoman ocasiocortez seems to be suggesting that youre a bully oh, well, of course, thats absurd i was just simply responding to the kind of chaos and everything that representative green started as well. And if everyone on the committee was proud of what theyve produced, theyre entitled to their opinion or if they feel that this is the kind of video do, you, want to, send to a classroom of eighth grade civics kinds of students across america. Again, thats their choice. Now, to me what i would, thats their choice, but if im going to push back against anything, its going to be pushing back against hamas and not vote against israel. And im going to push back again. Its putin. Im not going to vote against the aid for ukraine the way representative green has done. And then im also going to push back against the tiktok vote is well, and now, tiktok is essentially a Chinese Communist government asset the corruption. Trial for your fellow democratic senator bob menendez across the river in new jersey. There began this week the senator announced on thursday that his wife is battling Breast Cancer and shes going to undergo a mastectomy this announcement came just one day after his Defense Lawyers effectively pinned the blame for everything on his wife in his trial, there too, are being tried as separate defendants in two separate cases what do you make of it . All . Yeah. Well, ive been very clear on that i was the first senator to call for his to resign he is entitled to his day in court the way hes having right now, but hes not entitled to be a United States senator. Hes certainly not entitled to receive classified briefings about egypt and qatar since he was essentially accused of being an agent for them as well. I dont understand why anybody would be okay with that. And i really cant imagine who either it was his idea or he was convinced that blaming your wife who is suffering from cancer is really an effective strategy or how thats gonna go over so Supreme CourtJustice Samuel alito is under fire this week after the New York Times first reported that an American Flag was flown upside down at his house in the days after january 6. The upside down symbol of distress was used by some americans at that time to protest what they erode can you believed to be a stolen election. Alito says his wife fluid to protest a neighbors yard signs he said to his wife flew at, not him. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, a democrat, dick durbin from illinois, is calling for alito to recuse himself from any future cases that involve the 2020 20 election. What do you think yeah its actually surreal as adjust this to be even, allow them to be even having that be interpreted in that kind of a way i mean, of course, cds never gonna be able to. He wont choose to recuse himself, but i just cant imagine the kind of judgment as a justice that you would flag Something Like that in your friend front yard like that if we are supposed to be impartial and to be a b away from all of the kind of the politics of that.

But first, this Breaking News iranian president Ebrahim Raisi has been involved in a Helicopter Crash in a remote part of the country of iran. Cnns Nic Robertson is following the developments for us and nick, what are we learning . Yeah, april he were he was in the very northwest of iranian East Azerbaijan province, right up in the mountains, right on the border with azerbaijan, Inaugurating A New dam project really significant projects. He had the formula schrom ball days helicopter with them, the regional governor, even the president , ali f of azerbaijan, came to the border. They shook hands at this project. But as we learned, after they had this meeting, after this inauguration at the dam racy and enough the his helicopter and a number of other helicopters on this journey took off to fly through the mountains and it became cloudy. It was rainy. The reports are the temperatures are very cold there and it seems that the ground controllers lost contact with the helicopters. They initially thought this was a hard landing. They were searching for information and then weve got reports through the Iranian National media saying that they deployed about 20 search drones, dozens of Ambulance Crews were deployed to the area.

And weve seen video coming in from some of the important shrines in iran of people literally doing that. So theres no information about the wellbeing or otherwise of the president but his helicopter has gone down. And what the state media is calling a crash. The Status Calling for people to pray for him. And at the moment, theres, theres an absence of clear information beyond that about precisely what happened other than his helicopter was flying in very, very dense fog, which one official described as visibility of about five meters. So i can feed also. Yeah. Then of course, many will wonder why that helicopter went up in these kind of conditions in the first place. But i wonder, nick, you talk about other helicopters, aircraft cant get in the air too hard to see. Its dark, usually, it would have that kind of texas analogy like infrared to help in any
