Why race is an ever present source of tension in Donald Trumps georgia case. The Super Bowl Ad that made a lot of people that actually holds a big clue about whom rfk junior has picked as his running mate. A very good day from the new center here in los angeles. We have some Breaking News out of russia where polls are closing in one hour and the last of three days of voting in the countrys president ial election. Putin all but certain to win a fifth term. The pallet featuring three ll other talking candidates who, by the way, publicly support his policies. Earlier today, voters heating one of the last public messages from the late Opposition Leader Alexi Novotny by showing up en masse at Polling Stations to e protest the election. Joining me now is keir simmons from moscow. What has voting been like a cross russia today and are the crackdowns, unrest . Taken away . Its really split here in russia right now. We are here at any Election Night event that you can see is in full swing as they prepare for those results. There is no guessing frankly e what the result will be. We know that President Putin is going to be declared the winner in an hours time. One of the questions the kremlin has been looking at has been the turnout and that is now according to russian authorities over 70 . 73 . More than in 2018. There will not be many western observers. We will question mark, as well. Weve seen as you say, completely different from this official event, the op ex around russia after Alexi Novotny, whom, of course, died in prison during this election campaign, called for people to go to Polling Stations and would result in different Polling Stations around russia, people standing in line, not saying anything but it appears making their voices heard. Hear. Reporter earlier, we spoke to one of those politicians who has been openly against the war in ukraine. He was not allowed to stand in the election, and he told me that he does believe one day there will be free and Fair Elections in russia but he says that this is not it. I hope it happens before while im alive, he told me. Meanwhile, there have been reports of Drone Strikes across russia according to the Russian Ministry of defense. 35 Drone Strikes they said earlier today in eight russian regions, blaming the ukrainians, saying they are trying to disrupt the selection, if you can call it that. Frankly, its more of a referendum on President Putin and his socalled special military operation. Everyone weve spoken to this official event is proputin and prowar. Alex. Extraordinary. Im curious about demonstrations. Other than the silent demonstrations from those two people that you interviewed. We saw some fires around ballot boxes are in apparent diving into ballot boxes. Do you know if there were any arrest is made and how much that type of activity was spread ross russia . We have to rely on what we are told the russian authorities. They are saying that theyre hoping more than 60 people detained. One of them, an official wearing a tshirt with Alexi Novotnys name on it. As you mentioned, there have been Arson Attacks and die poured into ballot boxes. So very, very dangerous to voice your opposition in this country in any meaningful way, but a number of russians have done that. The truth is that many, Many Russians to support President Putin. He is still popular in this country. The problem is that people who dont agree with him have not really been allowed to have their voices during this election. Yeah. I still absolutely respect the many thousands who showed up or Alexi Novotnys funeral and you cant help but wonder if the names are on a list, if theyre going to be targeted at some point. Excellent points, as always. Thank you. Ill be speaking with my comic fall, former ambassador to russia in the next hour. Two big headlines at this hour. First up for it President Bidens Reelection Campaign announcing more than 53 Million Dollars raised in february. Also reported 155 million on in cash on hand. The president s holding st. Patricks day events in the white house today while donald trump wrapping up dark rhetoric at a rally for Republican Senate candidate in ohio yesterday making references to a bloodbath, to migrants, to january 6th, quote, hostages, and what might happen if he is not reelected. Lets go to allie live at the white house. They want to get to is this Campaign Wraps up and what you have . Reporter the general election certainly now in full swing. You mentioned that record of fundraising for the binding campaign which marks the largest Fundraising Hall in one month since last april. It certainly widens the Campaign Edge with the fundraising. Despite these record numbers, we have new reporting, suggesting that the president Behind The Scenes still remains anxious about his reelection effort. Source is telling our team that he is frustrated with how long it has taken for his economic messaging and his biden on his plan to resonate with voters across the country. He is frustrated by how his building this protective bubble around him to prevent any flubs or gaps. We have obviously heard the president say himself that his greatest strength on the Campaign Trail is his ability to speak oneonone with voters and here their concerns firsthand. We know his Campaign Travel is certainly ramping up. Several Battleground States over the last few days across the midwest. Hes heading out west to arizona and nevada this week and one political vulnerability that no matter where the president goes, he is not able to avoid alex. His handling of the israel hamas war with maniac of us saying they are unhappy with his handling of the war and his continued relations with Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. The divisions weve seen between the president and Prime Minister netanyahu have spelled more into The Public Eye over the last few months. Especially as we have seen the humanitarian crisis in gaza worsen. We heard a few days ago that netanyahu approved the idfs plans for a Ground Invasion of roth the or over 1 million palestinians have been sheltering over the last few months. Spokesperson admiral john kirby was asked about that this morning. Listen to his response here. You would not support this operation unless or until they have a credible, executable plan to take care of the 1. 5 million refugees that have been pushed into rough the because of the north and gaza city further to the north. They said they have plans for such an evacuation. Talk about humanitarian islands in gaza. We would welcome the opportunity to see if that is actually executable and doable. Notably, he refused to say whether the united dates would condition further military aid to israel if netanyahu went through with these plans of Ground Invasion in gaza without solidifying the plan. Thank you so much for that. Joining me now, Jillian Frankel from columbus, ohio. On the flipside, donald trump made him very inflammatory remarks. Tell us what he said. Reporter former President Trump was here in ohio yesterday rallying on behalf of Senate Candidate ernie marino, set to face off on tuesday in the primary here in ohio. While he was here, he made some notable comments saying that there would be a, quote, bloodbath if he is not reelected. For added new context, this came up as he was talking about the possibility of a trade war with china over the Automobile Industry and auto manufacturing plant. He also talked a lot about immigration, it is is in president joe bidens, as he calls it, open border policies. Lets hear more from the Rally Particulars and. If i had people teaming with ms13 and all sorts of people that they have to take care of for the next 50 years. Young people are in jails for years. If you call them people. I dont know if you call them people. In some cases, they are not people in my opinion. But im not allowed to say that is the radical left says its a terrible thing to say. If i dont get elected its going to be a blood bath and thats going to be the least of it but its going to be a bloodbath for the country. Reporter and alex, former President Trump has vowed to launch the largest domestic deportation operation in american history. Something coming up on the Campaign Trail as he looks ahead to the possibility of a second term in office. Okay. Thank you very much for the latest there from ohio. Lets bring in don calloway. Democratic strategist. Founder of the National Voter protection action fund. And republican strategist and political analyst. I guess david has the hour off. Thats okay. Im glad to have the two of you and i want to have your comments about what we just heard from trump. It is clear he is trying to eight peel to a very specific section of his base. How can he think that any of this will help . Is he just appealing to people who are already in his camp . There is no reason to think that it would not help because it has been working for nine years now since he has politically ascended in this country. Lets be very clear about something. To the extent that we still exist in a twoparty system, donald trump is the undisputed leader of one of those two political parties. If you have any doubt about that, look at how he was virtually unopposed in taking over the financial and restructure mechanisms of his arty by installing his daughter inlaw and saying every penny will go to his reelection efforts. Donald trump is the actual leader with 50 of political dissipation in this country. What we have now is no longer implicit but an explicit invocation of political violence. Ive worked in politics for many years and studied 10 years before that. The way i was raised and i believe you, is that what differentiates this country from the rest of the world, uncivilized or civilized, developed or undeveloped it is that we do not believe in political violence. We dont endorse it. We dont tolerate it prudent what we have right now is 50 of the political Participants Party wise in this country by their leader not only encouraging but inciting violence. Bloodbath. Its not something that has not happened before. It happened on january 6. Its important that i point out he so doubt in the 2016 election which he actually won. Of course his people dont believe that he actually lost in 2000 and he is saying if i lose in 2024 which will very likely happen again because he never won the popular vote and lets go ahead and initiate the political violence, which im calling for as the leader of 50 of the electorate in this country. Thats extraordinarily dangerous and we are in an unprecedented and dangerous New Territory in the country as a result. To that i say, preach, don calloway. Lets move to you, susan. How dangerous is this rhetoric that presumptive nominee of the Republican Party . How do you interpret the bloodbath comment . It is a hard thing to struggle with. As far right as i am, to see that language coming from a nominee for president , it is donald trump and it kind of just goes with who he is. We have heard this rhetoric from him before. Fully, in 2020, he lost a lot based on this type of rhetoric. And i want to touch on something that you mentioned earlier. This does not help him beyond his base. This is the behavior that made independents and suburban women turn away from donald trump. So maybe they are seeing something in their polling that they need to really firm up more of who voted for him in 2020. Or he is just even more unhinged. There is a difference in him campaigning in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He is worse. I think it just emphasizes everything that he is about. Yeah. All right. Both of you, please stay with me because we will talk about what happened in georgia on friday and just a little bit, but first, new worries about a potential ticktock and are back in 60 seconds.

Leaders from israel and hamas are direct me negotiating since the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan. Joining me now, nbcs josh letterman. Whats the latest on these negotiations and on getting more aid into gaza . Those negotiations are acted to pick up in earnest tomorrow in the qatari capital with the israeli Delegation Led by the head of the mossad. Before the text is, tonight he is really war cabinet expected to meet for a session aimed at giving guidance to the israeli delegation about what their bottom line should be as they enter into these fraught negotiations with hamas and tarp. We know hamas has presented a proposal in which they would like to see a roughly 10 to 1 ratio of palestinian Prisoners Released in exchange for israeli hostages in the gaza strip. They also want to be part of a multiphased process that would eventually see a full israeli ceasefire and withdraw from the gaza strip. Israel has made clear it is not entertaining at this point in time. He is really Prime Minister has not said much publicly about what the latest Negotiating Position is but he is speaking very publicly about those comments from Chuck Schumer who give that remarkable speech essentially calling for a new government in israel. Here is what they had to say about the speech from schumer. If we were to have elections now before the war is one, we would have at least the expense of National Paralysis means we would lose the war. If we dont win, we lose the war. That would not only defeat for israel but america, twos because our victory is your victory. We are fighting these barbarians on the war winds down. Will you commit to new elections . I think thats something for the israeli public to decide. Schumer also said it was totally inappropriate or im sorry, netanyahu said it was inappropriate for schumer to give that speech. Wanted to give you an update on the humanitarian aid. Yesterday when we spoke and we talked about those 200 plus tons of aid that arrived on the ship. Today world central kitchen, the charity run by jose andre says that all this aid is still sitting in the warehouse in gaza yet to be distributed to the people who so badly need it. The latest indication of how dangerous it is to try to get this delivered to the gaza strip and the massive logistical challenges they will continue to face Going Forward as well as ongoing questions about who was actually going to be responsible for getting aid from those warehouses to the people in gaza who need it most. As you know there was talk about them having to have some sort of security escort to get the aid for fear that hamas would siphon it off and did not get into the people who actually need it for thats unfortunate thank you for updating us nonetheless. Joining me in the studio, democratic congressman from california, a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Glad to have you here and to a you about senator Chuck Schumer in the comments that he made there. The fact that he has been seen as the most proisrael, being the highest ranking Jewish American and elected to office for quite some time. Benjamin netanyahu. You heard his response to all of this. What he is saying is an obstacle to use. What you make of the change in tone from Senator Schumer and what do you think it might represent down the road . Could it indicate any change in u. S. Policy . I think Chuck Schumer said the quiet part out loud. He said there are more obstacles to peace. Hamas, a boss, israels right wing coalition. Netanyahu. We have been negotiating right now for the release of hostages. Unrealistic. Saying hes going to invade rafah and says hes totally opposed to a two state solution. In terms of the invasion of rafah which has been looming for quite some time now. He has seen them and approved them. They would like to see them. In addition, the white house has said renewed within about a week or so how we are using A
