victories for veterans go to dab.org. i'm gustavo valdes in mexico city, and this is cnn here on the cnn newsroom. hi everyone, i'm jessica dean in washington convicted felon and former president donald trump is still six weeks away from finding out what he his sentence will be and his history, historic hush money, conviction. but trump says he'd be okay with serving prison time this morning. and the lander view he's done since being convicted. the current republican candidate for president warn fox news a harsh sentence could lead to anger from his supporters judge could decide to say, hey, house arrest or even jail. >> it could face what that okay with it, i saw one of my lawyers. he had today on television saying, oh, no, you don't want to do that to the i don't know. beg for anything you've just the way it is. i don't know that the public would stand it. you know, i don't i'm not sure that the public would stand for with a house arrest for i think i think it would be tough for the public to take at a certain point is a breaking point joining us now seen an senior political analysts and senior editor for the atlantic, ron brown, steen and cnn senior media report or oliver darcy. >> great to have both of you here. ron, two things from that clip that we just played, theirs. the breaking point comment from trump, which i think yeah, i just want i'm curious what you think that it have resonant that is, there's also this change in the way he's responding. oh, it's no big deal. five jail time. don't bag. there was no mention of it being unfair. it's it's like he wants to have it both ways because he said this whole thing is unfair and wrong and and now he's trying to pretend like he's a little bit more nonchalant about it well, let me start with your first point. >> i mean, when he talked about breaking point, that is the 2024 equivalent i think of stand back and standby to the proud boys in 2020, which ultimately led us help lead us to january 6. i think he's very clearly calling on suggesting to his supporters that they do. in fact, engage in violence. if he is sentenced to prison kinda similar to what we saw a couple of days ago from speaker mike johnson when he said in another fox interview that he expects the republicans supreme court justices to overturn this in some way. i mean, all of this is various kinds of signaling to the coalition. not only to kind of build political moment some out of opposite to this, but also to kind of, i think point them about where they expect them to go yeah. >> and all over during that, fox interviewed trump was also asked about sinking revenge if he was re-elected. and here's what he said about that it's a very interesting question by revenge will be success. >> and i mean that but it's awfully hard when you gee, what they've done, these people are so evil all of her, what do you make of him selecting fox news for this interview. >> and who is he exactly trying to reach because it fox news is not newsmax, it's fox and what do you make of the message he's delivering on that channel? >> well, it's not surprising he chose fox because it is his biggest propaganda outlet and he is not obviously not wanting to face some hard questions you've got a softball interview and that's what he wanted there. i think it's really disturbing the risk reaction we're seeing among his media allies and the wake of this verdict, it's not it's not just that they're attacking the verdict or even the judicial system. it's that they're really inflaming the desires of retribution, of revenge among trump's supporters. they're saying that this is akin to what happens at dictatorships for throwing around the term banana republic like it's normal, and they're even floating the idea that trump should release list of a democrats that he would arrest and thrown in jail if he were to come into office. this is obviously alarming rhetoric. it's disturbing rhetoric, but it's become commonplace in right-wing media, even on fox news, you had jesse water there's the main primetime star. they're talking about how they want to vanquish evil forces within the country on the night of the verdict. i mean, this is becoming commonplace and they're setting the stage for this for audiences to believe that this is not only warranted behavior that they need to go after democrats and weaponized government. but it's necessary behavior that they have to do to it to bring the system in their eyes back to norms and that's, that's really chilling jessica and run, why have trump and his allies been so successful at convincing a not insignificant amount of the american population. >> all of those things that all over just laid out yeah. >> i mean, you know, in many ways they are pushing i think at an open door. i mean, at the core of trump's coalition are voters who believe the country in that they have known, in effect has been taken from them by changes in society, but also literally by the argument that democrats are rigging and stealing and taking away their power. i mean, the fact that so many republican voters believed this is an illegitimate verdict is an outgrowth of the fact that three-quarters republican voters believe joe biden didn't win the 2020 election and is partially the world that oliver can describe. i mean that they are living and i kind of a close media bubble, but it's also, i think because it, as i said, they are pushing these arguments are pushing it an open door. they are affirming the core conviction that binds together most of the trump coalition. the idea that america was great at some point in the past. and that various forces have been kind of stealing that america from us. the real the real americans i just go back to what he said at his rally the night before the runoff in georgia in 2021, when he said, this is our country two, and they are stealing it from us through rigging and taking elections. and that is the argument and that's why i think each time i'm something like this comes up. it's simply feeds into that preexisting narrative and superstructure that he's built there's a new cbs news poll, oliver that shows 56% of us adults to ron's point here. >> thank trump. got a fair trial. so 56% of all us adults think it was fair. 54% of independence great with that. 86% of republicans think this was unfair. and so all of our, how much of that can be blamed on unexplained by a media diet. and what people's media diet is. and is that enough to explain the schism there? >> i mean, i don't see how you cannot blame the media diets. if you look at where republicans primarily get their news, it's places like fox news and then it's other places far more, more fringe and extreme places like steve bannon's war and podcast. this is where they're getting their news. and if you watch these channels, if you listen to the rhetoric that's happening on talk radio, it's very clear why they believe that the country is being stolen from them, why they believe that biden isn't an evil man whose wrecking havoc on the country. this is what they're inundated with the kind of rhetoric there are inundated with on an hourly basis. since so i mean, i think it would be shocking really, quite frankly, if they didn't believe this stuff, right? and so 86% of the republican party believing this stuff is not surprising and you have to remember too that this has been going on for years and years and years. this has been a very lengthy disinformation operation. if you think of it like that. so when people consume this stuff over and over and over again, even if you are someone who's quite smart it really wears you down and ron, some republicans, governor chris sununu of new hampshire is one of them are saying that they are going to vote for trump after they've spent months rarely get some nikki haley is another one. >> but here, here's the clip of governors sn2 donald trump is now a convicted felon. >> are you comfortable voting for him in november oh, sure. >> people in america want change. they do. this is as, this is how bad joe biden is so wrong, i'm thinking about the matter republicans who can't support don't support somebody like chris sununu who they don't consider to be a quote real you maga republican. >> and then you think about, and then yeah, rhino you think about independent voters who may be leaned republican or do lean republican who watched something like that, do they get frustrated if you've been telling us fremont somebody like that's been saying for months how ill-equipped donald trump is to be for present, is to be president and yet here you are saying, oh, yeah, i'll vote for him yeah. >> well, look, i mean we know that negative partisanship is a very powerful force in modern american politics and many voters in each coalition or voted motivated more by desire to stop the other side, then necessarily a warm embrace of their own. but sununu just kinda bending the knee there and collapsing like nikki haley did, is i think first of all, a reminder that whatever level of internal resistance there was to donald trump in a first-term enough, paul ryan criticizing some of the things he did when he was speaker of the house that is going to be almost completely erased in a second term, i mean, even susan collins joined the hurt, condemning this verdict. i mean, i think i think the clear message of the last few days is that there would be virtually no resistance from congressional or for that matter, state-level republicans almost no matter what trump does, which is especially noteworthy given that in, as we've talked about before, in many ways, he is running on a more extreme agenda that he did in 2016 or 2020, when you ask about the electoral impact of this, i think the two things are true. i do think that over time for independent voters and voters for those who are most loosely attached to trump in the current polling, the idea of electing a convicted felon is going to weigh on them. i mean, the idea that a convicted felon be the chief law enforcement officer, the commander in chief is not something that is going to be easy for everyone. now says they are voting for trump to accept, but the voters who are most likely to be moved by this as jessica are also deeply negative on biden's performance deeply discontented about the economy, economy and overwhelmingly think he is too old. and so it's going to be a glacial struggle here in terms of the speed of movement i think because you do have the voters who are either going to be most unnerved by this as are also pretty down on biden and they may receptive to some of the arguments. it's a new, new is making. on the other hand, that way receptor to the argument from the biden campaign, it says you cannot have a convicted felon as president. he really ready to look at your kids after doing that it is going to be in the end, it's going to be about what they prioritize, right? and what they do aim is the most important priority which will be very interesting to see all over darcy and ron bronstein, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you the us says it is still waiting on hamas to respond to a newly proposed ceasefire deal from israel as top israeli officials continue you need to push back on the plan and how it would affect the future of gaza. you're in the cnn newsroom sirens are going off and playing the tornado here. >> i'm thinking, i'm going to die. and i thought that was it first with the liev schreiber premieres tonight at nine on cnn. deliveries happen ordered that this happens socks that happened. >> he get out of their charlie's have to back at the pitch all that's happened, be there with rain, learn more at ring.com first, we did the impossible you age so many of the possible that we can really ran out. >> and now they're the cook is back at subway yes. how do you sleep at night on a mattress for mattress firm?

i'll suggest netanyahu would lose. so no doubt that is something else that is playing on his mind at the same time over the weekend, netanyahu said he was thrilled to be invited to speak to congress by the top four leaders, democrat and republicans of congress on a date in the future, he said that he will convey the justness of israel real is causing its war against terrorism and its war against hamas, which the us designated as a terrorist organization, i suppose to also bring on board any wavering lawmakers, particularly democrats, who may be feeling that israel, for example, is not using us weapons shipments as it ought to at the same time thank netanyahu is happy to be doing this because by being on the world stage, speaking to us lawmakers, he come once again portray himself to the israeli public as the only man who can lead israel on the international stage that he has the ear of us lawmakers and the white house. and at the same time, he's the only man that can both maintain the israel us relationship and stand up to the united states when it's not in israel's interests, elliott got can cnn, tel aviv thank you, elliot. >> and now let's get the white house response to all of us joining us here is cnn's priscilla alvarez and priscilla, the national security spokesman, john kirby today seem to kind of brush assign it in negative reaction that this potential peace plan has been getting, which is largely in line with where us officials have been. they've tried to express a tone of optimism over the course of these talks. which have been tenuous and difficult. >> now, he said in his interview that he is still or the white house is still waiting for the official response from hamas and then till then are still holding out some optimism. take a listen where we are right now. >> is that proposal and israeli proposal has been given to hamas. it was done on thursday night, our time we're waiting for an official response from hamas. we would note that publicly hamas officials came out and welcomed this proposal. we have every expectation if hamas agrees to the proposal as was transmitted to them and israeli proposal that israel would say yes now, to remind our viewers the plan that was laid out by president biden on friday includes three different phases. >> the first being the release of hostages, the women, the literally the wounded for that six-week temporary ceasefire. the second phase would ideally include a ceasefire width negotiations ongoing and the release of all hostages. again, in exchange for palestinian prisoners. and the third would be the reconstruction of gaza. this doesn't happen quickly. it takes time and it is quite challenging. and there are still a lot of details that need to be worked out here. but us officials are making very clear how urgent the mom
