MOON. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THIS HUGE CRATER THAT’S THE SIZE OF D.C. AND EXPLORE IN THE DARK, ARE YOU SURE I CAN’T JOIN THAT MEETING OVER ZOOM ONE YEAR? GUYS, ON THE APPLICATION, THEY HAD TO WRITE EITHER A TWEET, LIMERICK OR HAIKU. YOU COULD DO THAT, THOUGH, RIGHT?

>> I COULD DO THE TWEET. >> I THINK SO, I THINK AND IT’S THURSDAY, MARCH 21ST. TEXAS HAS CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION LAW STUCK IN LEGAL LIMBO. WE START A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT SET TO DECIDE IF TEXAS CAN ARREST AND DEPORT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE STATE ILLEGALLY. THIS IS SUCH A RECIPE FOR

CONFUSION AND CHAOS. REALLY? WHY? WHAT’S KNOWN AS SENATE BILL FOUR IS NOW BACK IN COURT AFTER THE SUPREME COURT ALREADY WEIGHED IN ON REPUBLICANS STILL TRYING TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT BIDEN. WHAT’S GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> WHAT IMPEACHMENT, HEARING, THEATRICS AND PRIMARIES THIS

WEEK MEAN FOR THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AND A GOP CRITICAL FALLING OUT. THEY ARE IN AN IMPASSE AND THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN MUCH VOCAL ABOUT IT. THE FRAYING U.S. ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP AS FAMINE CLOSES IN ON GAZA. FROM ABC NEWS, THIS IS “START HERE”. I’M JAY O’BRIEN. >> HEY THERE.

I’M FILLING IN FOR BRAD TODAY. WE’VE GOT A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER, BUT LET’S START WITH THE TWISTS AND TURNS. THAT LEGAL SAGA OVER A TEXAS LAW THAT YOU’VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT. >> I THINK IT PASSES CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER. I THINK IT’S THE RIGHT POLICY FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS TO HAVE

TO HAVE A SECURE BORDER. THERE IS NO MONEY ASSIGNED TO THIS BILL OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF INCARCERATION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR AND WILL FEEL SAFE GOING OUT INTO THE STREETS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO COME FROM CITIES. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SB4 SENATE BILL FOUR, THAT CONTROVERSIAL IMMIGRATION LAW IN TEXAS

THAT ALLOWS STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO ARREST PEOPLE SUSPECTED OF BEING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. >> AND IT WAS SET TO GO INTO EFFECT EARLIER THIS MONTH. BUT SEVERAL CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SUED THE STATE. >> IT’S PING POINT AROUND THE COURT SYSTEM FROM THE SUPREME COURT EARLIER THIS

WEEK TO A APPEALS COURT YESTERDAY, ALL BECAUSE THIS LAW REALLY IGNITES ONE CENTRAL LEGAL QUESTION. DOES A STATE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE ITS OWN IMMIGRATION POLICIES, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN DO? FOR DECADES, IT’S BEEN THE LATTER. BUT TEXAS IS TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.

>> TEXAS HAS A RIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES, AND WE WILL USE THAT AUTHORITY TO DECLARE AN INVASION AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST THAT INVASION. >> LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT TERRY MORAN NOW SITTING RIGHT ACROSS FROM ME AND TERRY. GIVE ME A SENSE OF THE LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS HERE.

IT HAS BEEN HARD TO FOLLOW. THIS HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF COURT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS . WHAT IS THE MOST RECENT THING THAT HAS HAPPENED AND HOW DID WE GET HERE? >> WELL, THE MOST RECENT THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS, THE UNITED

STATES APPEALS COURT, YESTERDAY HELD A HEARING IN WHICH THEY DECIDED WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THIS LAW NOW THAT CONFUSED PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY SAW THE HEADLINE EARLIER IN THE WEEK, SUPREME COURT LETS THE LAW GO INTO NOTHING GOES FROM THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH USUALLY DOESN’T GO FROM THE SUPREME COURT BACK TO AN

APPELLATE COURT. >> THEY SEND IT BACK, RIGHT? YEAH. AND SO HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? WELL, THE SUPREME COURT’S LETTING IT GO INTO EFFECT WAS REALLY A PUSH FOR THAT FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT. THEY’D BEEN SITTING ON THE CASE FOR A WHILE. JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT

ACTUALLY WROTE THIS WHEN SUPREME COURT ALLOWED THE LAW TO GO, IN EFFECT. >> AND WHAT SHE SAID WAS, WE DON’T WANT TO GET IN THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING THE SCHEDULE AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK. AND WHEN DO YOU WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DECIDE THIS? SHE SAID, BUT YOU’VE HAD IT ENOUGH.

>> SO IT WAS A SHOCKING WAY OF ENCOURAGING THE JUDGES DOWN IN TEXAS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. AND SURE ENOUGH, THEY DID. JUST A FEW HOURS LATER, THEY WENT THE OTHER WAY AND THEY SAID, OKAY, OKAY, WE’RE GOING TO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THIS HEARING TOMORROW. AND WELL, WERE WERE BLOCKING

THE LAW FROM GOING INTO EFFECT WHILE WE DO THIS. >> IT’S NOT LIKE THIS HASN’T BEEN NATIONALLY KNOWN AND GETTING HEADLINES ALL THE TIME. AND SOMETHING THAT IS A COMPLEX LEGAL QUESTION. CAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATE IMMIGRATION VERSUS A STATE? I’LL GET INTO THAT WITH YOU IN A SECOND.

BUT FIRST, WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT HEARING YESTERDAY IN THE FEDERAL APPEALS COURT? YEAH, IT WAS FASCINATING TO LISTEN TO SO THAT THE LAWYERS HAD, YOU KNOW, A FEW HOURS TO PREPARE AND THE THE DECISION TO HAVE THE HEARING AND TO BLOCK THE LAW FROM GOING INTO EFFECT PENDING THAT HEARING.

IT’S A THREE JUDGE PANEL AND YOU COULD FEEL THE SPLIT. >> I’M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE LAW TOTALLY. >> ONE OF THE JUDGES WAS VERY SKEPTICAL OF TEXAS. >> SHE WAS VERY HARSH ON ON TEXAS. HOW CAN TEXAS DO THIS, GIVEN SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE WHICH

ALLOWS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SO MUCH AUTHORITY OVER INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, INCLUDING THE REGISTRATION AND IMMIGRATION OF PEOPLE COME INTO THE COUNTRY? >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, IT SEEMS TO ME, THAT A STATE HAS CLAIMED THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ILLEGAL ALIENS. >> ANOTHER JUDGE WHO HAD BEEN

A GENERAL COUNSEL TO TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, WAS THE OTHER WAY, VERY SKEPTICAL OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S POSITION. >> WE HAVE NO CLUE HOW ANY OF THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE ENFORCED BECAUSE THERE’S NOT BEEN A SINGLE PERSON WHO’S BEEN ARRESTED. NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS BEEN ORDERED REMOVED, NOT A SINGLE

STATE JUDGE WHO’S HAD OCCASION TO ADJUDICATE A SINGLE PROVISION OF THIS IN ANY WAY. SO WE’RE PREDICTING ALL OF THIS. RIGHT. AND YOU HAVE TO SAY ALL OF IT IS UNLAWFUL AND THEREFORE THE ENTIRE THING WILL NEVER GO INTO EFFECT. >> SO SAY IT. THE FEDERAL COURT AND THE OTHER

JUDGE WAS QUIET, BUT SHE’S A BIDEN APPOINTEE. SO IF YOU’RE A BETTING MAN, YOU WOULD SAY THAT THIS PANEL OF THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT WILL NOT LET THIS LAW GO INTO EFFECT. THAT’S PROBABLY WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND IT WILL GO UPSTAIRS ONCE AGAIN TO THE SUPREME COURT

OF THE UNITED STATES, WHICH WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE FINAL WORD. >> AND JUST FOR THE FOLKS AT HOME PLAYING, YOU KNOW, LAWYERS HEADPHONES ON HERE AS THEY LISTEN TO THIS, WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS PREVENTING THE LAW FROM GOING INTO EFFECT WHILE THE LARGER CASE ABOUT THIS LAWS CONSTITUTIONALITY PLAYS, ISN’T

THAT CORRECT? RIGHT. AND THAT’S REALLY THE IMPORTANT ISSUE. YEAH, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE OVER. THEY’RE GOING TO GET ALL THESE JUDGES WILL GET DOWN. AND IN FACT, THERE’S A LOWER COURT JUDGE, A DISTRICT COURT JUDGE THAT DID. THEY’RE GOING TO GET TO THIS CONSTITUTIONAL COLLISION. TEXAS HAS PASSED A LAW THAT IT

WANTS TO ENFORCE THAT ESSENTIALLY DEFINES AS THE LAW OF IMMIGRATION IN THIS COUNTRY FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. >> AND A SPECIFIC SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT THAT’S JUST 12 YEARS OLD WHEN ARIZONA TRIED TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES SAID, NO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS FULL AUTHORITY OVER IMMIGRATION.

THE STATES CANNOT PASS THEIR OWN LAWS AND ENFORCE THEIR OWN IMMIGRATION SCHEME. >> SO WE GOT ALL OF THAT. BUT — BUT WHAT IS TEXAS HIS ARGUMENT FOR DOING THIS? THE REASON TEXAS IS DOING THIS IS BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED NOT JUST THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE CONGRESS HAS FAILED

PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS. AND TEXAS IS A SOVEREIGN STATE. THE STATES ARE SOVEREIGN. THEY HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR PEOPLE FOR FOR THE PROSPERITY OF THEIR PEOPLE AS WELL. AND SO UNDER THAT TEXAS REASONS AND SOME SPECIFIC CLAUSES OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT THEY ARGUE EMPOWERS THEM TO TAKE

ACTION, IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FAILING. >> THE SUPREME COURT WILL TAKE NOTE OF THE CRISIS ON THE BORDER AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE DON’T BLAME THEM. THE QUESTION IS, HAS TEXAS GONE TOO FAR? BUT THIS IS SUCH A RECIPE FOR CONFUSION AND CHAOS, REALLY. IF EVERY SINGLE STATE IMAGINE

GAVIN NEWSOM SAYING, OKAY, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE OUR OWN IMMIGRATION LAW. >> IMAGINE A PERSON WHO IS LAWFULLY PRESENT IN ARIZONA. THIS EXAMPLE WAS RAISED IN THE HEARING YESTERDAY AND B AND HAS A HEARING FOR ASYLUM IN TWO YEARS IN ARIZONA, IN TEXAS, THAT PERSON COULD BE ARRESTED AND DEPORTED.

WHAT IF THEY GO ACROSS THE BORDER FOR YOU KNOW, TO ON VACATION OR WHATEVER, THEY CAN BE ARRESTED IN TEXAS, BUT ARE OKAY TO LIVE IN ARIZONA, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE IMPACT ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, WHICH IS EXCLUSIVELY THE PROVINCE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> IT’S A BOLD MOVE BY TEXAS, PROBABLY DOOMED,

BUT UNDERSTANDABLE AND WILL FIND SYMPATHETIC HEARING IN THE SUPREME COURT. TERRY MORAN ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX STUFF FOR US. >> TERRY. THANK YOU, SIR. YOU BET. J. NEXT UP ON “START HERE”, WHAT’S A CONGRESSIONAL HEARING WITHOUT A VLADIMIR PUTIN MASK? WE’LL BE BACK IN A BIT.

>> IT’S WORSE TIME IN AMERICA, SO WHAT ARE THEY SERVING UP? WELL, HOW ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW? THAT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD, “GMA3”. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THE THIRD HOUR OF “GMA” IN THE AFTERNOON. SO JOIN US FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. >> I LOVE THAT.

WE ALL KNOW POLITICS CAN GET A LITTLE THEATRICAL AT TIMES, AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON CAPITOL HILL. IN THE LATEST HEARING OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN LED IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S AGENDA FOR TAKING ALL OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AND USING IT IN THE COMMITTEE, ONE DEMOCRAT, JARED MOSKOWITZ OF FLORIDA, WALKED THE HEARING

WEARING A RUBBER MASK OF VLADIMIR FACE AS A WAY TO SAY, IN HIS VIEW, REPUBLICANS PEDDLING RUSSIAN MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SON, HUNTER. AND THEN ALL THROUGHOUT THE PROCEEDINGS, WE SAW THESE HEATED EXCHANGES BETWEEN LAWMAKERS AND WITNESSES. >> IT IS SIMPLE. YOU NAME THE CRIME. DID YOU WATCH HIM STEAL SOMETHING?

CORRUPTION STATUTE, RICO. AND WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS WHAT IS CRIME, SIR? NOW, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING THESE PROCEEDINGS A WIN. POINTING TO THE FACT THAT IN THE HEARING, TWO FORMER ASSOCIATES OF HUNTER BIDEN TESTIFIED THAT THEY BELIEVE PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS INVOLVED IN HIS SON’S OVERSEAS BUSINESS DEALINGS. BUT DEMOCRATS QUICKLY OUT

THAT NEITHER OF THOSE WITNESSES PROVIDED ANY EVIDENCE OF THOSE CLAIMS. IN FACT, AFTER MONTHS OF THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY CONCLUSIVE PROOF THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN BENEFITED FROM HIS SON’S BUSINESS DEALINGS. SO WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND, WE HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU.

I AM HERE IN THE SAME ROOM OF OUR WASHINGTON, D.C. BUREAU WITH ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. THERE IS NOTHING I LIKE MORE THAN BEING IN THE SAME ROOM AS RICK KLEIN AND TALKING ABOUT POLITICS. >> SO, RICK, YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT PLAYED OUT IN THE HOUSE.

>> WHERE DO YOU DO YOU SEE THIS REPUBLICAN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY GOING ANYWHERE? DO THEY HAVE THE VOTES RIGHT NOW TO PASS ARTICLES ON THE FLOOR IF THEY WANTED TO? >> YEAH, THAT’S A FLAT NO. IF THEY IF THEY HAD THE VOTES, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY

THE BASE WANTS IT. A LOT OF THEM ARE PROMISING THEIR CONSTITUENTS THAT THAT’S WHERE THIS INQUIRY IS GOING TO LEAD. >> IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. THEY DON’T HAVE THE VOTES. IN FACT, THEY’RE LOSING ANOTHER VOTE AT THE END OF THE WEEK WITH CONGRESSMAN KEN BUCK LEAVING.

SO THEY HAVE THE BAREST OF MAJORITIES. THEY HAVE NOT PRODUCED ANY EVIDENCE TO DATE THAT THAT ADVANCES THE CONVERSATION AND SHOWS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. THEY HAVEN’T CONVINCED THE PUBLIC. ALL OF THE BIG BLOCKBUSTER HEARINGS HAVE TURNED INTO EITHER BUSTS OR FARCES. SO AT THIS POINT, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS OFF RAMPS.

WHAT CAN THEY DO? A SORT OF IMPEACHMENT? BECAUSE THEY HAVE PROMISED THESE HUGE THESE HUGE REVELATIONS. SO THEY DON’T HAVE THAT. DO THEY REFER SOMETHING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE? DO THEY TRY TO PASS A BILL THAT WOULD LIMIT SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY SAY THEY BELIEVE?

HUNTER BIDEN ENGAGED IN OR HIS FATHER ENGAGED IN THAT WERE INAPPROPRIATE OR EVEN ILLEGAL? DO THEY DO THEY FIND SOME WAY JUST TO SAY, YEAH, WE’RE LISTENING AND WE’RE GETTING THIS DONE? SO THEY JUST KEEP IT KIND OF LINGERING ALL THE WAY THROUGH NOVEMBER BECAUSE IT

IS PRETTY CLEAR NOW THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO VOTE TO IMPEACH JOE BIDEN. >> IT’S INTERESTING. THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU WAS, DUKE, DO YOU SEE A WORLD IN WHICH THIS COULD LINGER ALL THE WAY UNTIL NOVEMBER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU’VE GOT TWO COMPETING FORCES? RIGHT.

THE BASE WANTS YOU TO DO SOMETHING. NOW. THE MODERATES DON’T WANT YOU TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL. AND LEADERSHIP AS I’VE SEEN IN MY REPORTING, TOO, IS JUST KIND OF CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. >> YEAH. AND THIS INQUIRY IS GOING TO TAKE ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.

>> YOU GET TO A POINT WHERE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE. JAMES COLMER, JIM JORDAN, MATT GAETZ SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. NEVER MIND. CASE CLOSED. >> NEVER GOING TO HAVE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’D BE FULLY EXONERATED THEN. THAT’S NOT WHAT REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THEY HAVE, EVEN IF

THEY DON’T HAVE IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES. SO I DON’T SEE A SITUATION WHERE IS KIND OF WRAPPED UP IN A BOW. BUT I DO THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO KIND OF PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC AS SAYING, LOOK, WE PUT OUR BEST CASE FORWARD HERE. >> IT IS.

>> EVEN THOUGH THERE WILL NOT ALMOST CERTAINLY BE A VOTE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR. YOU AND I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS FOREVER, BUT I WANT TO I WANT TO PIVOT TO SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE WE ALSO SAW ANOTHER ROUND OF PRIMARIES THIS WEEK. YOUR AUNT PROFESSIONAL, TILLIE READER, IN A WAY.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU SAW IN THOSE PRIMARIES, WHILE WE KNOW WHO THE CANDIDATES ARE, COULD BE INSTRUCTIVE TO THE GENERAL SECTION IN NOVEMBER? >> YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK, WHAT’S GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> WE SAW THAT IN OHIO IN THE SENATE RACE.

WHEN YOU PUT FORWARD A CANDIDATE WHO HAS AS MANY POTENTIAL FLAWS AND VULNERABILITIES AS BERNIE MORENO, YOU STICK BY HIM AND YOU GET HIM OVER THE TOP BY A LOT. >> HE WON BY ALMOST 20 POINTS IN A CROWDED FIELD. BIG VICTORY FOR DONALD TRUMP, BIG VICTORY FOR MAGA. BUT ARE REPUBLICANS HAPPY

ABOUT THAT? IT WAS DEMOCRATS WHO WERE LOOKING TO GET BERNIE MORENO TO WIN THAT SENATE NOMINATION IN OHIO. >> IT GIVES THEM MAYBE A BETTER SHOT TO SAVE THE SENATE WITH SHERROD BROWN AND HIS SEAT. >> AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STATES THAT HAVE VOTED NOW ARE TWO FULL WEEKS

AFTER NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT AND YOU’RE STILL GETTING 15, 20 PLUS PERCENTAGE PERCENTAGE POINTS VOTES FOR NIKKI HALEY OR FOR OTHER REPUBLICANS. >> NOW, THERE ARE SIMILAR NUMBERS THAT ARE EMERGING ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. A LOT OF SKEPTICISM FOR HIM AS WELL. BUT THE FACT THAT THERE’S STILL SO MANY REPUBLICAN VOTERS

THAT ARE PRIMARY VOTERS THAT ARE VOTING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP TELLS YOU ABOUT THE LIMITATIONS THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS. SO BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE. >> YOU COULD BE LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING HE IS AS STRONG AS EVER INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BUT ACTUALLY HE’S GOT SOME PROBLEMS INSIDE OWN REPUBLICAN PARTY, TOO.

>> SO WHAT YOU’RE SEEING IN THOSE NIKKI HALEY VOTES IS THAT THAT IS A PROTEST VOTE IN WHAT YOU’RE SAYING THAT COULD DEMONSTRATE THAT THESE VOTERS WILL NEVER COME BACK INTO THE FOLD FOR DONALD TRUMP. >> YEAH, AND WE SAW THAT WITH POLLS IN OHIO AND WE SEEN IT ACROSS ACROSS A SERIES

OF STATES. HALEY VOTERS ARE VERY LIKELY TO SAY THEY MAY NOT VOTE AT ALL OR THEY MAY VOTE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN DONALD TRUMP. SOME 30%, THEREABOUTS, ABOUT A THIRD OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS ACROSS THESE STATES ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF HE’S CONVICTED OF A CRIME, THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE

IT FIT FOR OFFICE OR THAT THEY’RE JUST DISSATISFIED WITH THE CHOICE. AND YES, SOME OF THE VOTES THEY’RE ROLLING IN NOW CAME IN BEFORE HALEY DROPPED OUT WHEN THERE WAS STILL A COMPETITIVE PRIMARY BECAUSE OF EARLY VOTING. >> BUT THERE IS SOME NUMBER THAT’S STILL ACTIVELY VOTING FOR ESSENTIALLY ZOMBIE

CAMPAIGNS, EVEN THOUGH DONALD TRUMP HAS WON THE NOMINATION. THEY ARE SHOWING UP IN VOTING. THEY’RE SENDING IN BALLOTS FOR SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING THAT THE NOMINEE IS GOING TO BE DONALD TRUMP. I THINK BACK TO MICHIGAN WHEN WE HAD THAT UNCOMMITTED PROTEST VOTE AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR

AND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN’S MESSAGING FROM THAT NIGHT ON WAS, WE HEAR YOU. WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE OVERTURES. WE BELIEVE WITH THOSE OVERTURES YOU’LL COME BACK INTO THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS NOT DOING THAT MESSAGING WHEN IT COMES TO HALEY VOTERS, ARE THEY? >> THEY’VE NEVER DONE

THAT MESSAGING WHEN IT COMES TO ANYONE. IT’S BEEN THIS IS THE TRUMP TRAIN THAT’S GOING TO ROLL OVER YOU. WE SAW THAT WITH RON DESANTIS THIS WEEK SAYING SOME OF THAT YOU’VE COVERED OVER THE YEARS. >> JAY SAYING THAT THAT HE’S NOT SURE HE’S GOING TO CAMPAIGN FOR DONALD

TRUMP AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN SAYING WE DON’T WANT HIM ANYWAY BECAUSE WE WANT TO WIN THIS THING. >> THEY’VE NEVER DONE THE KIND OF HEALING THING THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS, AND IT’S WORKED FOR HIM SO FAR. >> MORE PEOPLE THAN NOT ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE ARE GETTING GETTING ON BOARD.

AND LOOK, BIDEN IS GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIS OWN BASE BECAUSE IT WASN’T JUST MICHIGAN. WE SAW IT IN MINNESOTA. >> WE SAW IT AGAIN IN OHIO. WE SAW IT IN ARIZONA. THERE’S A THERE’S A QUANTITY OF VOTERS OUT THERE EVEN KNOWING THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS

GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE, ARE STILL SAYING, WAIT A SECOND, WE WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE. WE’RE NOT WE’RE NOT THRILLED WITH THIS. >> WHETHER THAT’S VOTING FOR ANOTHER CANDIDATE OR VOTING FOR SOMETHING, QUOTE UNQUOTE, UNCOMMITTED. RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU.

THE U.S. IS ISRAEL’S STRONGEST ALLY ON THE WORLD STAGE. IT’S SOMETIMES COMPARED TO ISRAEL’S OLDER BROTHER. BUT AS ISRAEL HAS CONTINUED ITS OFFENSIVE IN GAZA AFTER THE OCTOBER 7TH TERROR ATTACK BY HAMAS, THERE HAVE BEEN SERIOUS SIGNS OF DAYLIGHT BETWEEN THESE TWO COUNTRIES. WE’VE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT THE NEED TO PRIORITIZE THE PROTECTION

OF CIVILIANS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU ADDRESSED SENATE REPUBLICANS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS YESTERDAY. THAT MEETING WAS A WAY OF HITTING BACK AT THE SENATE’S TOP DEMOCRAT IN THE NATION’S MOST SENIOR JEWISH ELECTED OFFICIAL, CHUCK SCHUMER, WHO LAST WEEK GAVE A SPEECH THAT CALLED FOR NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL AND BRANDED NETANYAHU

AS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE. IT HAS BECOME CLEAR TO ME THE NETANYAHU COALITION NO LONGER FITS THE NEEDS OF ISRAEL. AFTER OCTOBER SEVENTH. >> AND ALL OF THIS COMES AS THE ISRAELI LEADER SEEMS POISED TO DEFY WARNINGS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND MOUNT AN OFFENSIVE INTO RAFAH, A REGION

IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA. AN ESTIMATED 1.7 MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE SOUGHT REFU. ABC’S MATT GUTMAN IS FOLLOWING IT ALL FOR US FROM ISRAEL. MATT, REPUBLICANS IN D.C., AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE RALLIED TO THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER’S DEFENSE AFTER THOSE COMMENTS FROM CHUCK SCHUMER. >> HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON EVEN SAID YESTERDAY

HE’S CONSIDERING INVITING NETANYAHU TO ADDRESS CONGRESS. >> IT’S ALL POLITICALLY COMPLICATED. WHAT IS THIS INDICATIVE OF A BIGGER PROBLEM, DO YOU THINK, OF ISRAEL AND U.S. RELATIONS? HAVE THEY FRAYED IN RECENT MONTHS? >> I THINK THEY CERTAINLY HAVE. YOU KNOW, THE U.S. IS RATHER ACCUSTOMED TO WHEN IT SAYS

SOMETHING AND IT LAYS DOWN THE LAW, AS THE PRESIDENT HAS. HEY, I CONSIDER THIS A BAD IDEA . IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO GO INTO RAFAH TO LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE INTO A VERY SMALL AREA IN THE SOUTH OF THE GAZA STRIP, WHERE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE SEEKING SHELTER.

MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN DISPLACED MORE THAN ONCE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS WAR. AND YOU’RE GOING TO LAUNCH A MAJOR OFFENSIVE TO TRY TO ROOT OUT THE FIVE REMAINING HAMAS BATTALIONS. NO, I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA. DON’T DO IT. AND ISRAEL SAYS AGAIN AND AGAIN, NO, WE’RE GOING TO DO IT.

THOSE SAY THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD WE ENTER RAFAH ARE BASICALLY SAYING LOSE THE WAR. >> WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP. THIS IS PARAMOUNT FOR US. THEY ARE IN AN IMPASSE. THE PRESIDENT HAS REJECTED THE STRAW MAN THAT RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT RAFAH IS THE SAME AS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT DEFEATING HAMAS.

AND THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN MUCH MORE VOCAL ABOUT IT. >> AND, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY IN YEARS PAST, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THE PRESIDENT CALL SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SCHUMER’S SPEECH A GOOD SPEECH, BUT HE DID YOU IT SPEECH. >> THE NEW YEAR EXPRESSED SERIOUS CONCERN. SURE. >> NOT ONLY BY HE ESSENTIALLY

ENDORSING IT. AND THAT’S A BIG DEAL. AND I THINK BOTH SIDES ARE NOW TRYING TO COME BACK OFF THAT LIMB. RIGHT. ISRAEL SENDING A REALLY HIGH PROFILE DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON, COMPRISING THREE OF THE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE WAR CABINET. THAT’S A BIG DEAL. AND, OF COURSE, SECRETARY BLINKEN IS COMING HERE ON FRIDAY.

SO THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK THIS OUT TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO THE RAFAH OFFENSIVE . BUT IT’S UNCLEAR IF ISRAEL’S ALREADY DECIDED BECAUSE NETANYAHU SAID, YEAH, I’VE APPROVED THE PLAN. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE IDF STILL ISN’T QUITE SURE. IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE IT HAS.

FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH HIS CHIEF SPOKESMAN, A REALLY GREAT IDEA OF HOW THEY’RE GOING TO MOVE EVERYBODY OUT, BUT THEY SAY THEY’RE GOING TO DO IT. >> I WANT TO DIG INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, ACTUALLY. WHAT IS THEIR THINKING INTO WHY THEY FEEL THEY HAVE TO DO OFFENSIVE NOW?

>> NETANYAHU HAS BEEN PROMISING ISRAELIS TOTAL VICTORY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THEY CAN’T KILL EVERY LAST HAMAS MILITANT IN OFFICIAL IN GAZA. ISRAEL BELIEVES AT THIS POINT THAT THERE WERE 40,000 HAMAS FIGHTERS. THEY THINK ABOUT 26,000 HAVE BEEN KILLED, CAPTURED OR WOUNDED. SO THEY HAVE MAYBE 14,000 LEFT.

THEY THINK THEY CAN GET HALF OF THEM IN THIS RAFAH OFFENSIVE. FIVE FULL INTACT HAMAS BATTALIONS ARE IN RAFAH. SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIAL TELLING ME HE ALSO WANTS TO SEE, YES, HE HAS SINWAR THE HEAD OF HAMAS, HIS HEAD ON A BIKE PATH TO PEACE THAT MAKES US FEEL SO WEAK AND UNABLE

TO DEFEND ITSELF AND OUR NEIGHBORS STILL ADHERING TO THE GOAL OF DESTROYING THE JEWISH STATE. THEN OBVIOUSLY WE WILL SET THIS BACKWARD, NOT FORWARD. >> THEY WANT TO GET THOSE GUYS IN UNLESS THEY CAN DO THAT AND AT LEAST SAY, HEY, LISTEN, WE HAVE DISMANTLE. AND HAMAS IS A MILITARILY

CAPABLE FIGHTING ARMY. RIGHT? THAT’S WHAT IT WAS. NOW IT’S JUST THE GUERRILLA GROUP THAT’S IN DISARRAY AND WITH NO REAL LEADERSHIP AND, YOU KNOW, WE’LL FIGHT IT AND STAMP IT OUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. BUT WE’VE KILLED THE ARMY. WE’VE DELIVERED YOU SUCCESS. THAT’S IT.

IF THEY DON’T GO INTO RAFAH, THEY CANNOT SAY THAT NETANYAHU LOSES. HE HE HE BACKS OUT ON HIS PROMISE TO THE NATION. AND THIS IS ISRAELIS EXPECT. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON’T SEE THAT I’M SURPRISED THAT EACH TIME THEY COME BACK HERE IS THE

DEGREE TO WHICH THE TRAUMA FROM OCTOBER 7TH REMAINS AND THE FEAR THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. SO ISRAELIS ARE BY A VERY LARGE MAJORITY, SUPPORTIVE OF THIS WAFA OFFENSIVE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE U.S. AND THE NGOS AND THE U.N. ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO IT. ALL OF THIS IS PLAYING OUT,

OBVIOUSLY, IN THE MIDST OF THAT SERIOUS HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, THE U.N. WARNING THAT FAMINE IS IMMINENT. WE KNOW THE U.S. WANTS TO USE A MARITIME CORRIDOR AS WE’VE HEARD IT SO OFTEN CALLED, TO TRY TO GET MORE AID IN. WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LONG THAT’S GOING

TO TAKE TO BE UP AND RUNNING? SO THERE ARE CALLED J LOTS. THERE ARE TWO U.S. MILITARY SHIPS HEADED THIS WAY. >> 500 SOLDIERS ON EACH OF THEM. AND THEY’RE GOING TO BUILD A TEMPLE AREA, BUT PRETTY SOLID 800 FOOT PIER OFF THE COAST OF GAZA. >> WHEN ESTABLISHED, THIS

CORRIDOR WILL ENABLE THE DISTRIBUTION OF UP TO 2 MILLION MEALS EVERY SINGLE DAY ,AS WELL AS MEDICINE, WATER AND OTHER CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES. >> IT’S GOING TO TAKE THEM TIME. IT’S GOING TO TAKE SIX WEEKS FOR THEM JUST TO START REALLY IT. AND IT’LL TAKE EIGHT WEEKS FOR IT TO BE OPERATIONAL.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING IN NORTHERN GAZA RIGHT NOW ARE STARTING TO DIE IN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS TO THE U.N.. >> CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION. THEY ARE DYING OF DEHYDRATION, HORRENDOUS WAYS FOR A CHILD TO DIE. >> THE ONLY WAY IS TO GET THAT AID THROUGH ON THE ROADS.

THEY NEED AID NOW. AND THE ONLY WAY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF AID CAN IN TO ACTUALLY HELP THESE PEOPLE IS BY LAND THROUGH ISRAEL. ISRAEL TODAY AND OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN INSISTING IS TRYING TO FLOOD THE GAZA STRIP WITH AID. IT’S OPENING UP MULTIPLE PORTS OF ENTRY.

>> THE ISSUE IS DISTRIBUTION. >> THE NGOS, INCLUDING THE U.N. ,SAY, HEY, LISTEN, ISRAEL’S RIGHT. WE ARE NOT DOING A GREAT JOB DISTRIBUTING THIS AID, GETTING IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST BECAUSE WE CAN’T GET TO THESE AREAS. IT’S TOO DANGEROUS. THERE’S ONGOING FIGHTING. ISRAEL’S BEEN STRIKING EITHER

NEAR AT SOME OF THESE CONVOYS AND WE JUST CAN’T SEND OUR PEOPLE TO DO THAT. >> THEY ALSO HAVE LOGISTICAL ISSUES. THEY THEY CAN’T PROVIDE THE AID TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING RIGHT NOW UNLESS THERE’S CEASE FIRE. >> AND HEY, HERE’S THE CATCH 22. CEASEFIRE IS NOT COMING.

BOTH SIDES ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN THE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS. >> A DELEGATION THAT ISRAEL JUST SENT TO DOHA TWO DAYS AGO HAS COME BACK. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE WEEKS. THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE A CEASE FIRE LIKELY UNTIL AFTER THE OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT’S GOING TO.

SO THE NGOS ARE COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED IN BEING TERRIFIED ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN FALLOUT THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AND IF IT’S BAD NOW, SIX WEEKS FROM NOW, IT’S GOING TO BE TRAGIC. THE HUMANITARIAN FALLOUT. MATT GUTMAN TRACKING IT ALL FOR IN ISRAEL. >> MATT, THANK YOU. THANKS, JAKE. OKAY.

ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK. SO LONG TO THE ORIGINAL SHORT KING. >> ONE LAST THING IS NEXT. >> PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER RIGHT NOW. THE DOWN FERRY GUY IS THIS YIN YANG OF DANGER IN THIS INCREDIBLE WORLD. BEAUTY.

THAT’S HIS FIRST BREATH. THAT’S ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THESE MOMENTS THAT. YOU AND MORE TO LIFE MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE. >> THERE’S A MASTERPIECE EVERYWHERE. REPORTING FROM THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW IN LAS VEGAS, I’M ELIZABETH SCHULZE WHEREVER THE STORY. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE .

AND ONE LAST THING. WASHINGTON, D.C. IS NOT A SENTIMENTAL TOWN. >> TAKE IT FROM ME. I LIVE HERE. BUT WASHINGTONIANS HAVE COME TO LOVE THIS LITTLE WITHERED CHERRY BLOSSOM TREE OF ONLY A FEW BRANCHES. HE’S NAMED STUMPY BECAUSE HE’S SHORTER THAN THE REST, OFTEN COMPARED TO A KIND OF TREE VERSION.

A SHORT KING. HE WAS A SYMBOL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE OF DURING THE PANDEMIC. IT IS A STAMP, BUT THESE DAYS, CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE GROWING OUT OF IT. >> A LITTLE WORN. STUMPY HAS BLOOMED EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL, INCLUDING THIS ONE, BUT NOT NEXT YEAR. >> STUMPY IS A CLIMATE STORY.

HIS APPEARANCE IS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM CAUSED BY THAT. CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO REPAIR THE SEAWALL. >> THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE SAYS STUMPY. AND MORE THAN 150 OF HIS CHERRY BLOSSOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS WILL BE CHOPPED DOWN FOR A PROJECT TO RAISE NEARBY

SEAWALLS BECAUSE OF RISING TIDES DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. SINCE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, HUNDREDS HAVE COME TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO STUMPY, A TRUMPETER FROM THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WHO PLAYED A TRIBUTE. >> ONE PERSON LEFT A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY AT STUMP HIS ROOTS. >> OTHERS ARE GOING UP AND JUST HUGGING THE TREE.

WELL, I’M GOING TO TAKE A PHOTO STUMP. YEAH. SO I WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO. SOME PEOPLE ARE GENUINELY UPSET POSTING THE HASHTAG SAVE STUMPY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CALLING FOR THE TREE AND OTHERS TO BE SAVED ,REPLANTED SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKELY, BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS THAT STUMPY SEEDS WILL BE

SCATTERED, OFFICIALS SAY, AND THE SAPLINGS WILL DOT THE TIDAL BASIN FOR YEARS TO COME. >> AND HE’S TAUGHT US A VALUABLE NEVER BE ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU FIND INSPIRATION FROM SONG SPEECH IN A MOVIE. >> AND YES STUMP. I HOPE YOU FIND INSPIRATION FROM US TOO. THANKS FOR.

AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON CAPITOL HILL. IN THE LATEST HEARING OF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN LED IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S AGENDA FOR TAKING ALL OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AND USING IT IN THE COMMITTEE, ONE DEMOCRAT, JARED MOSKOWITZ OF FLORIDA, WALKED THE HEARING WEARING A RUBBER MASK OF VLADIMIR FACE AS A WAY

TO SAY, IN HIS VIEW, REPUBLICANS PEDDLING RUSSIAN MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SON, HUNTER. AND THEN ALL THROUGHOUT THE PROCEEDINGS, WE SAW THESE HEATED EXCHANGES BETWEEN LAWMAKERS AND WITNESSES. >> IT IS SIMPLE. YOU NAME THE CRIME. DID YOU WATCH HIM STEAL SOMETHING? CORRUPTION STATUTE, RICO. AND WHAT IS IT?

WHAT IS WHAT IS CRIME, SIR? NOW, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING THESE PROCEEDINGS A WIN. POINTING TO THE FACT THAT IN THE HEARING, TWO FORMER ASSOCIATES OF HUNTER BIDEN TESTIFIED THAT THEY BELIEVE PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS INVOLVED IN HIS SON’S OVERSEAS BUSINESS DEALINGS. BUT DEMOCRATS QUICKLY OUT THAT NEITHER OF THOSE WITNESSES

PROVIDED ANY EVIDENCE OF THOSE CLAIMS. IN FACT, AFTER MONTHS OF THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY CONCLUSIVE PROOF THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN BENEFITED FROM HIS SON’S BUSINESS DEALINGS. SO WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND, WE HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU. I AM HERE IN THE SAME ROOM

OF OUR WASHINGTON, D.C. BUREAU WITH ABC NEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR RICK KLEIN. THERE IS NOTHING I LIKE MORE THAN BEING IN THE SAME ROOM AS RICK KLEIN AND TALKING ABOUT POLITICS. >> SO, RICK, YOU SAW A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT PLAYED OUT IN THE HOUSE. >> WHERE DO YOU DO YOU SEE THIS

REPUBLICAN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY GOING ANYWHERE? DO THEY HAVE THE VOTES RIGHT NOW TO PASS ARTICLES ON THE FLOOR IF THEY WANTED TO? >> YEAH, THAT’S A FLAT NO. IF THEY IF THEY HAD THE VOTES, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE BASE WANTS IT. A LOT OF THEM ARE PROMISING

THEIR CONSTITUENTS THAT THAT’S WHERE THIS INQUIRY IS GOING TO LEAD. >> IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. THEY DON’T HAVE THE VOTES. IN FACT, THEY’RE LOSING ANOTHER VOTE AT THE END OF THE WEEK WITH CONGRESSMAN KEN BUCK LEAVING. SO THEY HAVE THE BAREST OF MAJORITIES. THEY HAVE NOT PRODUCED ANY

EVIDENCE TO DATE THAT THAT ADVANCES THE CONVERSATION AND SHOWS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. THEY HAVEN’T CONVINCED THE PUBLIC. ALL OF THE BIG BLOCKBUSTER HEARINGS HAVE TURNED INTO EITHER BUSTS OR FARCES. SO AT THIS POINT, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS OFF RAMPS. WHAT CAN THEY DO? A SORT OF IMPEACHMENT?

BECAUSE THEY HAVE PROMISED THESE HUGE THESE HUGE REVELATIONS. SO THEY DON’T HAVE THAT. DO THEY REFER SOMETHING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE? DO THEY TRY TO PASS A BILL THAT WOULD LIMIT SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY SAY THEY BELIEVE? HUNTER BIDEN ENGAGED IN OR HIS FATHER ENGAGED IN THAT WERE

INAPPROPRIATE OR EVEN ILLEGAL? DO THEY DO THEY FIND SOME WAY JUST TO SAY, YEAH, WE’RE LISTENING AND WE’RE GETTING THIS DONE? SO THEY JUST KEEP IT KIND OF LINGERING ALL THE WAY THROUGH NOVEMBER BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY CLEAR NOW THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO VOTE TO IMPEACH JOE BIDEN.

>> IT’S INTERESTING. THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU WAS, DUKE, DO YOU SEE A WORLD IN WHICH THIS COULD LINGER ALL THE WAY UNTIL NOVEMBER, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU’VE GOT TWO COMPETING FORCES? RIGHT. THE BASE WANTS YOU TO DO SOMETHING. NOW. THE MODERATES DON’T WANT YOU TO

DO ANYTHING AT ALL. AND LEADERSHIP AS I’VE SEEN IN MY REPORTING, TOO, IS JUST KIND OF CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE. >> YEAH. AND THIS INQUIRY IS GOING TO TAKE ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN. >> YOU GET TO A POINT WHERE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE. JAMES COLMER, JIM JORDAN,

MATT GAETZ SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. NEVER MIND. CASE CLOSED. >> NEVER GOING TO HAVE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’D BE FULLY EXONERATED THEN. THAT’S NOT WHAT REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THEY HAVE, EVEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES. SO I DON’T SEE A SITUATION WHERE IS KIND OF WRAPPED UP

IN A BOW. BUT I DO THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO KIND OF PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC AS SAYING, LOOK, WE PUT OUR BEST CASE FORWARD HERE. >> IT IS. >> EVEN THOUGH THERE WILL NOT ALMOST CERTAINLY BE A VOTE ON THE HOUSE FLOOR.

YOU AND I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS FOREVER, BUT I WANT TO I WANT TO PIVOT TO SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE WE ALSO SAW ANOTHER ROUND OF PRIMARIES THIS WEEK. YOUR AUNT PROFESSIONAL, TILLIE READER, IN A WAY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU SAW IN THOSE PRIMARIES, WHILE WE KNOW WHO THE CANDIDATES ARE,

COULD BE INSTRUCTIVE TO THE GENERAL SECTION IN NOVEMBER? >> YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK, WHAT’S GOOD FOR DONALD TRUMP IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> WE SAW THAT IN OHIO IN THE SENATE RACE. WHEN YOU PUT FORWARD A CANDIDATE WHO HAS AS MANY POTENTIAL FLAWS AND VULNERABILITIES AS BERNIE

MORENO, YOU STICK BY HIM AND YOU GET HIM OVER THE TOP BY A LOT. >> HE WON BY ALMOST 20 POINTS IN A CROWDED FIELD. BIG VICTORY FOR DONALD TRUMP, BIG VICTORY FOR MAGA. BUT ARE REPUBLICANS HAPPY ABOUT THAT? IT WAS DEMOCRATS WHO WERE LOOKING TO GET BERNIE MORENO

TO WIN THAT SENATE NOMINATION IN OHIO. >> IT GIVES THEM MAYBE A BETTER SHOT TO SAVE THE SENATE WITH SHERROD BROWN AND HIS SEAT. >> AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE STATES THAT HAVE VOTED NOW ARE TWO FULL WEEKS AFTER NIKKI HALEY DROPPED OUT AND YOU’RE STILL GETTING 15,

20 PLUS PERCENTAGE PERCENTAGE POINTS VOTES FOR NIKKI HALEY OR FOR OTHER REPUBLICANS. >> NOW, THERE ARE SIMILAR NUMBERS THAT ARE EMERGING ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE. A LOT OF SKEPTICISM FOR HIM AS WELL. BUT THE FACT THAT THERE’S STILL SO MANY REPUBLICAN VOTERS THAT ARE PRIMARY VOTERS THAT ARE VOTING AGAINST DONALD

TRUMP TELLS YOU ABOUT THE LIMITATIONS THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS. SO BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE. >> YOU COULD BE LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING HE IS AS STRONG AS EVER INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BUT ACTUALLY HE’S GOT SOME PROBLEMS INSIDE OWN REPUBLICAN PARTY, TOO. >> SO WHAT YOU’RE SEEING

IN THOSE NIKKI HALEY VOTES IS THAT THAT IS A PROTEST VOTE IN WHAT YOU’RE SAYING THAT COULD DEMONSTRATE THAT THESE VOTERS WILL NEVER COME BACK INTO THE FOLD FOR DONALD TRUMP. >> YEAH, AND WE SAW THAT WITH POLLS IN OHIO AND WE SEEN IT ACROSS ACROSS A SERIES OF STATES.

HALEY VOTERS ARE VERY LIKELY TO SAY THEY MAY NOT VOTE AT ALL OR THEY MAY VOTE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN DONALD TRUMP. SOME 30%, THEREABOUTS, ABOUT A THIRD OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS ACROSS THESE STATES ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF HE’S CONVICTED OF A CRIME, THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE IT FIT FOR OFFICE OR

THAT THEY’RE JUST DISSATISFIED WITH THE CHOICE. AND YES, SOME OF THE VOTES THEY’RE ROLLING IN NOW CAME IN BEFORE HALEY DROPPED OUT WHEN THERE WAS STILL A COMPETITIVE PRIMARY BECAUSE OF EARLY VOTING. >> BUT THERE IS SOME NUMBER THAT’S STILL ACTIVELY VOTING FOR ESSENTIALLY ZOMBIE CAMPAIGNS, EVEN THOUGH DONALD

TRUMP HAS WON THE NOMINATION. THEY ARE SHOWING UP IN VOTING. THEY’RE SENDING IN BALLOTS FOR SOMEONE ELSE KNOWING THAT THE NOMINEE IS GOING TO BE DONALD TRUMP. I THINK BACK TO MICHIGAN WHEN WE HAD THAT UNCOMMITTED PROTEST VOTE AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN OVER THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR AND THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN’S

MESSAGING FROM THAT NIGHT ON WAS, WE HEAR YOU. WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO MAKE OVERTURES. WE BELIEVE WITH THOSE OVERTURES YOU’LL COME BACK INTO THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD. THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS NOT DOING THAT MESSAGING WHEN IT COMES TO HALEY VOTERS, ARE THEY? >> THEY’VE NEVER DONE THAT MESSAGING WHEN IT COMES

TO ANYONE. IT’S BEEN THIS IS THE TRUMP TRAIN THAT’S GOING TO ROLL OVER YOU. WE SAW THAT WITH RON DESANTIS THIS WEEK SAYING SOME OF THAT YOU’VE COVERED OVER THE YEARS. >> JAY SAYING THAT THAT HE’S NOT SURE HE’S GOING TO CAMPAIGN FOR DONALD TRUMP AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN

SAYING WE DON’T WANT HIM ANYWAY BECAUSE WE WANT TO WIN THIS THING. >> THEY’VE NEVER DONE THE KIND OF HEALING THING THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS, AND IT’S WORKED FOR HIM SO FAR. >> MORE PEOPLE THAN NOT ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE ARE GETTING GETTING ON BOARD. AND LOOK, BIDEN IS GOING

TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIS OWN BASE BECAUSE IT WASN’T JUST MICHIGAN. WE SAW IT IN MINNESOTA. >> WE SAW IT AGAIN IN OHIO. WE SAW IT IN ARIZONA. THERE’S A THERE’S A QUANTITY OF VOTERS OUT THERE EVEN KNOWING THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE,

ARE STILL SAYING, WAIT A SECOND, WE WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE. WE’RE NOT WE’RE NOT THRILLED WITH THIS. >> WHETHER THAT’S VOTING FOR ANOTHER CANDIDATE OR VOTING FOR SOMETHING, QUOTE UNQUOTE, UNCOMMITTED. RICK KLEIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. THE U.S. IS ISRAEL’S STRONGEST ALLY ON THE WORLD STAGE.

IT’S SOMETIMES COMPARED TO ISRAEL’S OLDER BROTHER. BUT AS ISRAEL HAS CONTINUED ITS OFFENSIVE IN GAZA AFTER THE OCTOBER 7TH TERROR ATTACK BY HAMAS, THERE HAVE BEEN SERIOUS SIGNS OF DAYLIGHT BETWEEN THESE TWO COUNTRIES. WE’VE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT THE NEED TO PRIORITIZE THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU ADDRESSED SENATE

REPUBLICANS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS YESTERDAY. THAT MEETING WAS A WAY OF HITTING BACK AT THE SENATE’S TOP DEMOCRAT IN THE NATION’S MOST SENIOR JEWISH ELECTED OFFICIAL, CHUCK SCHUMER, WHO LAST WEEK GAVE A SPEECH THAT CALLED FOR NEW ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL AND BRANDED NETANYAHU AS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE. IT HAS BECOME CLEAR TO ME

THE NETANYAHU COALITION NO LONGER FITS THE NEEDS OF ISRAEL. AFTER OCTOBER SEVENTH. >> AND ALL OF THIS COMES AS THE ISRAELI LEADER SEEMS POISED TO DEFY WARNINGS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND MOUNT AN OFFENSIVE INTO RAFAH, A REGION IN THE SOUTH OF GAZA. AN ESTIMATED 1.7 MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE SOUGHT REFUGE.

ABC’S MATT GUTMAN IS FOLLOWING IT ALL FOR US FROM ISRAEL. MATT, REPUBLICANS IN D.C., AS YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE RALLIED TO THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER’S DEFENSE AFTER THOSE COMMENTS FROM CHUCK SCHUMER. >> HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON EVEN SAID YESTERDAY HE’S CONSIDERING INVITING NETANYAHU TO ADDRESS CONGRESS. >> IT’S ALL POLITICALLY COMPLICATED.

WHAT IS THIS INDICATIVE OF A BIGGER PROBLEM, DO YOU THINK, OF ISRAEL AND U.S. RELATIONS? HAVE THEY FRAYED IN RECENT MONTHS? >> I THINK THEY CERTAINLY HAVE. YOU KNOW, THE U.S. IS RATHER ACCUSTOMED TO WHEN IT SAYS SOMETHING AND IT LAYS DOWN THE LAW, AS THE PRESIDENT HAS.

HEY, I CONSIDER THIS A BAD IDEA . IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO GO INTO RAFAH TO LAUNCH THIS OFFENSIVE INTO A VERY SMALL AREA IN THE SOUTH OF THE GAZA STRIP, WHERE 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIANS ARE SEEKING SHELTER. MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN DISPLACED MORE THAN ONCE ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS WAR.

AND YOU’RE GOING TO LAUNCH A MAJOR OFFENSIVE TO TRY TO ROOT OUT THE FIVE REMAINING HAMAS BATTALIONS. NO, I THINK THIS IS A BAD IDEA. DON’T DO IT. AND ISRAEL SAYS AGAIN AND AGAIN, NO, WE’RE GOING TO DO IT. THOSE SAY THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD WE ENTER RAFAH ARE BASICALLY SAYING LOSE

THE WAR. >> WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP. THIS IS PARAMOUNT FOR US. THEY ARE IN AN IMPASSE. THE PRESIDENT HAS REJECTED THE STRAW MAN THAT RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT RAFAH IS THE SAME AS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT DEFEATING HAMAS. AND THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN MUCH MORE VOCAL ABOUT IT. >> AND, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY

IN YEARS PAST, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THE PRESIDENT CALL SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SCHUMER’S SPEECH A GOOD SPEECH, BUT HE DID YOU IT SPEECH. >> THE NEW YEAR EXPRESSED SERIOUS CONCERN. SURE. >> NOT ONLY BY HE ESSENTIALLY ENDORSING IT. AND THAT’S A BIG DEAL. AND I THINK BOTH SIDES ARE NOW

TRYING TO COME BACK OFF THAT LIMB. RIGHT. ISRAEL SENDING A REALLY HIGH PROFILE DELEGATION TO WASHINGTON, COMPRISING THREE OF THE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE WAR CABINET. THAT’S A BIG DEAL. AND, OF COURSE, SECRETARY BLINKEN IS COMING HERE ON FRIDAY. SO THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK THIS OUT TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE

APPROACH TO THE RAFAH OFFENSIVE . BUT IT’S UNCLEAR IF ISRAEL’S ALREADY DECIDED BECAUSE NETANYAHU SAID, YEAH, I’VE APPROVED THE PLAN. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE IDF STILL ISN’T QUITE SURE. IT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE IT HAS. FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH HIS CHIEF SPOKESMAN, A REALLY GREAT IDEA OF HOW THEY’RE GOING

TO MOVE EVERYBODY OUT, BUT THEY SAY THEY’RE GOING TO DO IT. >> I WANT TO DIG INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, ACTUALLY. WHAT IS THEIR THINKING INTO WHY THEY FEEL THEY HAVE TO DO OFFENSIVE NOW? >> NETANYAHU HAS BEEN PROMISING ISRAELIS TOTAL VICTORY. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THEY CAN’T KILL EVERY LAST HAMAS MILITANT IN OFFICIAL IN GAZA. ISRAEL BELIEVES AT THIS POINT THAT THERE WERE 40,000 HAMAS FIGHTERS. THEY THINK ABOUT 26,000 HAVE BEEN KILLED, CAPTURED OR WOUNDED. SO THEY HAVE MAYBE 14,000 LEFT. THEY THINK THEY CAN GET HALF OF THEM IN THIS RAFAH OFFENSIVE.

FIVE FULL INTACT HAMAS BATTALIONS ARE IN RAFAH. SENIOR ISRAELI OFFICIAL TELLING ME HE ALSO WANTS TO SEE, YES, HE HAS SINWAR THE HEAD OF HAMAS, HIS HEAD ON A BIKE PATH TO PEACE THAT MAKES US FEEL SO WEAK AND UNABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF AND OUR NEIGHBORS STILL ADHERING TO THE

GOAL OF DESTROYING THE JEWISH STATE. THEN OBVIOUSLY WE WILL SET THIS BACKWARD, NOT FORWARD. >> THEY WANT TO GET THOSE GUYS IN UNLESS THEY CAN DO THAT AND AT LEAST SAY, HEY, LISTEN, WE HAVE DISMANTLE. AND HAMAS IS A MILITARILY CAPABLE FIGHTING ARMY. RIGHT? THAT’S WHAT IT WAS.

NOW IT’S JUST THE GUERRILLA GROUP THAT’S IN DISARRAY AND WITH NO REAL LEADERSHIP AND, YOU KNOW, WE’LL FIGHT IT AND STAMP IT OUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. BUT WE’VE KILLED THE ARMY. WE’VE DELIVERED YOU SUCCESS. THAT’S IT. IF THEY DON’T GO INTO RAFAH, THEY CANNOT SAY THAT NETANYAHU LOSES.

HE HE HE BACKS OUT ON HIS PROMISE TO THE NATION. AND THIS IS ISRAELIS EXPECT. AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DON’T SEE THAT I’M SURPRISED THAT EACH TIME THEY COME BACK HERE IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE TRAUMA FROM OCTOBER 7TH REMAINS AND THE FEAR THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN

AGAIN. SO ISRAELIS ARE BY A VERY LARGE MAJORITY, SUPPORTIVE OF THIS WAFA OFFENSIVE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE U.S. AND THE NGOS AND THE U.N. ARE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED TO IT. ALL OF THIS IS PLAYING OUT, OBVIOUSLY, IN THE MIDST OF THAT SERIOUS HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA, THE U.N. WARNING THAT FAMINE IS IMMINENT.

WE KNOW THE U.S. WANTS TO USE A MARITIME CORRIDOR AS WE’VE HEARD IT SO OFTEN CALLED, TO TRY TO GET MORE AID IN. WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LONG THAT’S GOING TO TAKE TO BE UP AND RUNNING? SO THERE ARE CALLED J LOTS. THERE ARE TWO U.S. MILITARY

SHIPS HEADED THIS WAY. >> 500 SOLDIERS ON EACH OF THEM. AND THEY’RE GOING TO BUILD A TEMPLE AREA, BUT PRETTY SOLID 800 FOOT PIER OFF THE COAST OF GAZA. >> WHEN ESTABLISHED, THIS CORRIDOR WILL ENABLE THE DISTRIBUTION OF UP TO 2 MILLION MEALS EVERY SINGLE DAY ,AS WELL AS MEDICINE, WATER

AND OTHER CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES. >> IT’S GOING TO TAKE THEM TIME. IT’S GOING TO TAKE SIX WEEKS FOR THEM JUST TO START REALLY IT. AND IT’LL TAKE EIGHT WEEKS FOR IT TO BE OPERATIONAL. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING IN NORTHERN GAZA RIGHT NOW ARE STARTING TO DIE IN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS TO THE

U.N.. >> CHILDREN ARE DYING OF MALNUTRITION. THEY ARE DYING OF DEHYDRATION, HORRENDOUS WAYS FOR A CHILD TO DIE. >> THE ONLY WAY IS TO GET THAT AID THROUGH ON THE ROADS. THEY NEED AID NOW. AND THE ONLY WAY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF AID CAN IN TO ACTUALLY HELP THESE PEOPLE IS

BY LAND THROUGH ISRAEL. ISRAEL TODAY AND OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN INSISTING IS TRYING TO FLOOD THE GAZA STRIP WITH AID. IT’S OPENING UP MULTIPLE PORTS OF ENTRY. >> THE ISSUE IS DISTRIBUTION. >> THE NGOS, INCLUDING THE U.N. ,SAY, HEY, LISTEN, ISRAEL’S RIGHT. WE ARE NOT DOING A GREAT JOB

DISTRIBUTING THIS AID, GETTING IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST BECAUSE WE CAN’T GET TO THESE AREAS. IT’S TOO DANGEROUS. THERE’S ONGOING FIGHTING. ISRAEL’S BEEN STRIKING EITHER NEAR AT SOME OF THESE CONVOYS AND WE JUST CAN’T SEND OUR PEOPLE TO DO THAT. >> THEY ALSO HAVE LOGISTICAL ISSUES.

THEY THEY CAN’T PROVIDE THE AID TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING RIGHT NOW UNLESS THERE’S CEASE FIRE. >> AND HEY, HERE’S THE CATCH 22. CEASEFIRE IS NOT COMING. BOTH SIDES ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN THE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS. >> A DELEGATION THAT ISRAEL JUST SENT TO DOHA TWO DAYS AGO

HAS COME BACK. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE WEEKS. THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE A CEASE FIRE LIKELY UNTIL AFTER THE OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT’S GOING TO. SO THE NGOS ARE COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED IN BEING TERRIFIED ABOUT THE HUMANITARIAN FALLOUT THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

AND IF IT’S BAD NOW, SIX WEEKS FROM NOW, IT’S GOING TO BE TRAGIC. THE HUMANITARIAN FALLOUT. MATT GUTMAN TRACKING IT ALL FOR IN ISRAEL. >> MATT, THANK YOU. THANKS, JAKE. OKAY. ONE MORE QUICK BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK. SO LONG TO THE ORIGINAL

CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE GROWING OUT OF IT. >> A LITTLE WORN. STUMPY HAS BLOOMED EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL, INCLUDING THIS ONE, BUT NOT NEXT YEAR. >> STUMPY IS A CLIMATE STORY. HIS APPEARANCE IS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM CAUSED BY THAT.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO REPAIR THE SEAWALL. >> THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE SAYS STUMPY. AND MORE THAN 150 OF HIS CHERRY BLOSSOM BROTHERS AND SISTERS WILL BE CHOPPED DOWN FOR A PROJECT TO RAISE NEARBY SEAWALLS BECAUSE OF RISING TIDES DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. SINCE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, HUNDREDS HAVE COME TO PAY

THEIR RESPECTS TO STUMPY, A TRUMPETER FROM THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WHO PLAYED A TRIBUTE. >> ONE PERSON LEFT A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY AT STUMP HIS ROOTS. >> OTHERS ARE GOING UP AND JUST HUGGING THE TREE. WELL, I’M GOING TO TAKE A PHOTO STUMP. YEAH. SO I WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO.

SOME PEOPLE ARE GENUINELY UPSET POSTING THE HASHTAG SAVE STUMPY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CALLING FOR THE TREE AND OTHERS TO BE SAVED ,REPLANTED SOMEWHERE ELSE. THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKELY, BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS THAT STUMPY SEEDS WILL BE SCATTERED, OFFICIALS SAY, AND THE SAPLINGS WILL DOT THE TIDAL BASIN FOR YEARS TO COME.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS HUNDREDS MORE AMERICANS ARE STILL TRYING TO ESCAPE. AND THE URGENT WARNING ABOUT HOW SOON COULD RUN OUT.

AND NEW DETAI ABOUT A ROYAL SECURITY BREACH. THREE EMPLOYEES AT THE LONDON CLINIC WHERE PRINCESS KATE WAS TREATED ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO ACCESS HER MEDICAL RECORDS. BUT THE UK’S PRIVACY WATCHDOG AGENCY IS SAYING NOW. >> BUT WE BEGIN WITH THE MAJOR NEW STORM, THE MOVE.

MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE. ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE IS TRACKING THAT FOR US. GINGER, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE SAYING, OH, MY GOODNESS, IT’S SO COLD. >> WELL, PROBABLY FEELS REALLY COLD BECAUSE WE STARTED THE MONTH OF MARCH FOR A LOT OF FOLKS.

GREAT LAKES EXTREMELY WARM. WE’RE ALSO HAVING THE WIND WITH THESE COLD TEMPS AND IT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. BUT WINDCHILLS THIS MORNING WERE IN THE TEENS AND TWENTIES, AND WE’LL SEE THAT AGAIN ON OUR FRIDAY. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SNOW PART OF IT, BECAUSE THERE

HAVE BEEN SOME SNOW SQUALLS MOVING THROUGH VERMONT. PLACES LIKE BURLINGTON, THOUGH, IS THREE PLUS FEET BELOW AVERAGE FOR SNOW. SO MARCH BRINGING IN MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT DEFICIT, BECAUSE THAT’S THE ONLY ONE THAT’S STORM ONE. AND THEN WE’RE WATCHING THE SECOND STORM THAT WILL IMPACT

THE TWIN CITIES, PARTS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS OVER WISCONSIN. AND THAT’S FOR TOMORROW. SO IT COULD BE A REALLY ROUGH COMMUTE. MILWAUKEE, SAY MADISON, BACK TO THE TWIN CITIES AND THEN YOU SEE HOW IT’S ALL RAIN THAT MOVES UP FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, THESE TWO STORMS MERGE

AND THAT’S GOING TO WRAP UP ENOUGH MOISTURE DROP, SIGNIFICANT RAIN ALONG I-95 AND JUST INLAND. AND THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS WILL COME CLOSER TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. BUT THAT ELEVATED FLOOD RISK. I WANT YOU TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO PHILADELPHIA, HUDSON VALLEY, DEFINITELY ATLANTIC CITY OR DOVER. OVER TO PROVIDENCE.

SPEAKING OF, THERE WILL BE SATURATING STORMS TODAY WITH THE BIGGEST THREAT OF BIG HAIL THROUGHOUT MORNING HOURS AND EARLY AFTERNOON IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS. THEY HAVE ABC NEWS CHIEF

METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE. >> THANK YOU. AND THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING AFTER A MAJOR AIRPORT SECURITY BREACH. AGENTS SAY A WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO A DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHT IN UTAH AFTER ALLEGEDLY USED A PICTURE OF ANOTHER PASSENGER’S TICKET TO BOARD THE PLANE. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS THE DETAILS.

THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. THE FBI IS NOW INVESTIGATING BECAUSE AGAIN. THIS MAN ALLEGEDLY MADE IT ALL THE WAY ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT THOSE TICKETS. NOW, HERE’S WHAT COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. THEY SAY THAT 26 YEAR OLD MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SUNDAY IN SALT LAKE CITY. TAKING PHOTOS OF MULTIPLE

PASSENGERS PHONES AND BOARDING PASSES WHILE THEY WERE NOT LOOKING, HE THEN USED HIS PHONE AS A BOARDING PASS TO GET ON THAT PLANE. NOW, ONCE ONBOARD, THEY SAY HE ENTERED THE LAVATORY. THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND THE PLANE BEGAN TO TAXI. A FLIGHT ATTENDANT APPROACHED AND REALIZED THE MAN DID NOT

HAVE A TICKET OR SEAT. THE PLANE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND THE MAN WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH STOWING AWAY ON AN AIRCRAFT. NOW, TURNS OUT THE MAN WAS BOOKED ON TWO STAND BY FLIGHTS ON SOUTHWEST, BUT BOTH WERE FULL. SO HE TRIED TO GET ON THE DELTA FLIGHT INSTEAD.

HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET HOME. NOW, DELTA SAYS IT IS COOPERATING WITH THIS INVESTIGATION. AND WHILE IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAN MET NO HARM, OF COURSE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AND THIS WILL BE A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION.

AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING A MONDAY DEADLINE TO PAY A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES IS CHALLENGING

HIS CLAIM THAT HE CAN’T SECURE THE BOND, URGING THE COURT TO IGNORE HIS REQUEST TO LOWER THE AMOUNT. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY THE LATEST ON THAT STORY. >> NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES IS URGING AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT SECURING THE BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.

HIS LAWYER SAID TRUMP IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING A BOND TO GUARANTEE HE PAY IF HE LOSES HIS APPEAL OF A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. THEY SAID MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN, AND THEY ASKED FOR A COURT PERMISSION TO POST A SMALLER BOND OR.

NONE AT ALL. THERE’S A CRITICAL DEADLINE IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY MONDAY, JAMES CAN BEGIN, DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE. >> YOU’RE PREPARED TO HAVE THE STATE MOVED TO SEIZE TRUMP’S ASSETS. >> WE ARE PREPARED TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE JUDGMENT IS PAID TO NEW YORKERS. >> THE ATTORNEY BALKED AT ALLOWING TRUMP TO FORGO POSTING A FULL BOND. SHE SUGGESTED HE COULD TRY DIVIDING THE BOND AMOUNT AMONG MULTIPLE SURETIES OR EVEN TURNING OVER HIS PROPERTIES FOR THE COURT TO HOLD AS COLLATERAL, LIKE HIS GOLD PLATED PENTHOUSE IN TRUMP TOWER

,WHICH HE SHOWED OFF TO BARBARA WALTERS IN 2015. >> LOOKING AROUND. YEAH, THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS THEY’RE DOING PRETTY WELL. >> AND SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. ERIN, WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IF HE CAN’T SECURE THIS BOND? WELL, YOU HEARD THE ATTORNEY

GENERAL HERSELF SAY THAT SHE IS PREPARED TO TO TRY TO FREEZE BANK ACCOUNTS, SEIZE BUILDINGS LIKE THE BEHIND ME HERE ON WALL STREET. DIANE, IT’S NOT LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO PADLOCK TRUMP TOWER OR THIS BUILDING OR ANY OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES, BUT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE CAN TAKE LEGAL STEPS

LIKE LEANS FORECLOSURES TO MAKE SURE THEY’RE SATISFIED. TRUMP CAN WHAT THE JUDGE SAID HE OWES THE STATE FOR A DECADE’S WORTH OF BUSINESS FRAUD THAT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING OFF OF THIS WHOLE BOND DISPUTE. HOW COULD THIS IMPACT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL? WELL, HE’S TRYING TO MAKE IT

WORK FOR HIM, AS HE DOES ALL OF HIS LEGAL TROUBLES TO MAKE IT A CENTERPIECE FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. LOOK HOW THEY’RE TRYING TO GET ME. THEY’RE TRYING TO TAKE ME, TAKE MY PROPERTIES THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE ME SELL MY PROPERTIES AT A FIRE SALE, WHICH SAID WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE

BECAUSE HE COULDN’T GET THE BUILDINGS BACK IF HE SELLS THEM AND HIS APPEAL ENDS UP BEING SUCCESSFUL. BUT IT ALSO THREATEN THE IMAGE THAT TRUMP HAS CULTIVATED FOR DECADES AS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS TYCOON. NOW HE’S SAYING HE DOESN’T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY HIS BILL . SO, ERIN, WHAT ARE THE NEXT

STEPS AS THIS MONDAY DEADLINE APPROACHES? >> WELL, WE’LL SEE IF THE APPEALS COURT TAKES ANY ACTION TO GIVE TRUMP ANY KIND OF A REPRIEVE. HE’S SAYING LET ME PAY A SMALLER BOND. ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE JUDGMENT . LET ME PAY NO BOND AT ALL. AND JUST, YOU KNOW, NO,

I’M GOOD FOR IT BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY PRICEY ASSETS. AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE CLEARLY OPPOSES THAT. ABSENT THAT, IF TRUMP FIND SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY MONDAY, WOULD EXPECT THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE WOULD BEGIN TO TELL THE COURT HOW THEY WANT TO PROCEED TO TRY AND START TAKING POSSESSION

OF SOME OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES. AND THAT’S NOT GOING BE QUICK. NO PADLOCKS, NO STICKERS ON THE DOORS. DIANE. BUT IT COULD BEGIN A SLOW PROCESS OF FORCING TRUMP TO SURRENDER THE EMPIRE THAT HE’S BUILT AND. ERIN ALL THAT FUNDRAISING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS ON HOW

THAT MONEY BE USED WHEN IT COMES TO HIS LEGAL DISPUTES? RIGHT. WE KNOW THAT LAST YEAR, FOR EXAMPLE, HE USED $50 MILLION IN MONEY THAT WAS RAISED THROUGH DONORS ON LEGAL BILLS. HE CAN PAY OFF LAWYERS, BUT HE CANNOT CAMPAIGN MONEY TO SATISFY CIVIL COURT JUDGMENTS. AND THAT’S WHY HE HAD TO GET

A SEPARATE BOND FOR THE E. JEAN CARROLL CASE, WHICH HE WAS ABLE TO DO. BUT HERE HE IS TRYING TO COME UP WITH ENOUGH CASH TO SECURE A BOND BECAUSE HE SAYS, MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE HIS ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. AND HIS LAWYERS ARE SAYING JUST

DOESN’T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS. >> ALL RIGHT. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY. ERIN, THANK YOU. AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS A NEW ROUND OF STUDENT DEBT RELIEF FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BORROWERS WHO WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY $6 BILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 FIREFIGHTERS,

NURSES, TEACHERS AND OTHERS ALREADY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM. ABC SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG HAS THE DETAILS. PRESIDENT IS ANNOUNCING MORE STUDENT LOAN RELIEF, FOCUSING IN ON A KEY CAMPAIGN. THIS MORNING, THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY $6 BILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS.

THESE ARE TEACHERS, NURSES, FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM. AND THEY’LL BE GETTING AN EMAIL FROM THE PRESIDENT NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS RELIEF. WITH THIS LATEST MOVE, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS CANCELED A TOTAL OF $144 BILLION FOR NEARLY 4 MILLION AMERICANS.

AND THEY SAY THAT NEARLY ANOTHER 400,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS ARE ON TRACK TO HAVE THEIR LOANS FORGIVEN IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. NOW, REMEMBER, LAST YEAR, THE COURT HAD STRUCK DOWN THE PRESIDENT’S ORIGINAL PLAN TO CANCEL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DEBT FOR ALL BORROWERS MAKING LESS THAN $125,000. BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS FOUND

WAYS AROUND IT FINDING OTHER WAYS TO CANCEL STUDENT DEBT. NOW, WITH THE GENERAL ELECTION HEATING UP, THIS PRESIDENT IS EAGER TO SHOW THIS CORE GROUP OF VOTERS THAT HE HASN’T GIVEN UP ON THIS ISSUE YET. THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING AGAIN, TO USE ALL THE TOOLS HE CAN TO CANCEL MORE STUDENT

DEBT FOR MORE. DIANE. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG. THANK YOU. >> AND SHARES OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM REDDIT WILL TRADE ON THE STOCK MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. IT WILL MARK ONE OF THE BIGGEST TECH IPOS THE YEAR. RIGHT NOW, THE COMPANY IS BEING VALUED AT $6.4 BILLION.

AND THAT IPO ALSO COMES AS THE STOCK MARKET IS HITTING NEW ALL TIME HIGHS AFTER YESTERDAY’S MAJOR INTEREST RATE DECISION FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE. ABC’S ELIZABETH SCHULZE HAS MORE. >> I MEAN, DIANE, THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS REALLY FUELING THIS RECORD RALLY IN THE STOCK MARKET. THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE SURGED 400 POINTS

WEDNESDAY. THAT’S UP ABOUT 1% TO AN ALL TIME HIGH. THE S&P 500 AND THE NASDAQ ALSO HIT NEW RECORDS. BIG PICTURE, THE S&P IS UP ABOUT 10% SO FAR THIS YEAR. TO PUT THAT INTO A DOLLAR AMOUNT, THE TYPICAL 41K BALANCE HAS GAINED ALMOST THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE YEAR. TRADERS ARE TELLING ME

THAT THEY’RE TAKING COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT THE FED IS STILL ON TRACK TO CUT INTEREST RATES THREE TIMES THIS YEAR. THE FED IS HOPEFUL THAT INFLATION IS IMPROVING ENOUGH THAT IT CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE RATE CUTS, POSSIBLY AS SOON AS JUNE, AND THAT WOULD HELP LOWER COSTS ON A NEW CAR

LOAN OR ON YOUR CREDIT CARD BALANCE. AT A TIME WHEN AMERICANS ARE CARRYING $1.1 TRILLION IN CREDIT CARD DEBT. >> DIANE ELIZABETH SCHULZE, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, MARCH MADNESS BEGINS IN JUST HOURS.

AND HAD NOT THE MONEY THROUGH THE WIRE TRANSFERS. >> MR. HORA DENIES EVER BETTING ON BASEBALL AND CLAIMS OHTANI HAD NO KNOWLEDGE HIS GAMBLING DEBTS OR TRANSFERS. A SPOKESMAN FOR OHTANI, THE BASEBALL STAR, HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF A MASSIVE THEFT, AND WE ARE TURNING THE MATTER OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES.

FIRST THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT KAZAKHSTAN ON THIS THURSDAY. A SPACECRAFT SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH AN AMERICAN TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION WAS SCRUBBED JUST SECONDS BEFORE LIFTOFF. NO WORD YET ON WHAT CAUSED THE SCRUB OR WHEN IT WILL MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT. WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER

NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND HEAVY RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE. THIS AFTER SNOW SQUALLS IN VERMONT LED TO CRASHES ON I-80. NINE. NOW A NEW MAJOR STORM IS EXPECTED TO DROP NEARLY SEVEN INCHES OF SNOW IN THE DAKOTAS, MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN

AND MICHIGAN AREA. THAT’S EXPECTED TO TURN TO HEAVY RAIN AS MAKES ITS WAY TO THE I-95 CORRIDOR THIS WEEKEND. WINDY CONDITIONS IN MINNESOTA SENT A HOT AIR BALLOON CRASHING TO THE GROUND. FOUR PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD WHEN THE BALLOON WAS BLOWN INTO A POWER LINE. THE CRASH SPARKED A SMALL BRUSH

FIRE, WHICH WAS QUICKLY PUT OUT. THANKFULLY, ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. AND THE SUMMER OLYMPICS IN PARIS ARE GOING UNDERGROUND TO KEEP THE ATHLETES QUARTERS COOL. ORGANIZERS SAY THEY’RE DITCHING TRADITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING TO TRY TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON. INSTEAD, THEY’RE PLANNING TO USE A GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM COOLED BY WATER THAT’S SUPPOSED

TO ENSURE THE TEMPERATURE OF ATHLETE’S APARTMENTS WON’T RISE ABOVE 79 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. >> MEANWHILE, MORE AMERICANS ARE BACK ON U.S. SOIL AFTER BEING EVACUATED FROM HAITI. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS A U.S. CHARTERED FLIGHT LANDED IN ORLANDO YESTERDAY AND TWO OTHERS TRANSPORTED MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

BUT HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED THERE AS THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM SAYS THE COUNTRY ON THE VERGE OF FAMINE. MATT RIVERS HAS THE LATEST FROM PORT AU PRINCE. >> EMOTIONAL REUNIONS, ORLANDO, SANFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. >> YOU OBVIOUSLY SAW TEARS. >> YOU SAW LAUGHTER. YOU SAW JOY.

AMERICANS DREAM WEEKS OF UNREST IN HAITI FINALLY COMING HOME. WE’RE FINALLY REUNITING A UNION. OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON. IT TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS SO THAT THESE WERE TURNING INTO THE WEEKS, WEEKS FOR TURNING INTO MONTHS. >> PHILLIP ALMOND RECALLING THE HARROWING JOURNEY. THE VERY DIFFICULT PART WAS

GETTING AROUND AND MAKING TO THE AIRPORT FOR THE TO FLY OUT. IT WAS JUST SCARY. >> THIS EVACUATION FLIGHT FROM NORTHERN HAITI, WHERE THERE LITTLE TO NO GANG VIOLENCE, HAD 14 PASSENGERS ON BOARD, INCLUDING EIGHT CHILDREN. WEDNESDAY, OUR TEAM CAPTURING THIS DARING MISSION TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT. CHOPPERS FLYING AT LEAST

30 AMERICANS OUT OF PORT AU PRINCE. AFTER WEEKS OF CHAOS GANGS HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON THE CAPITOL CITY WHERE MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED. >> YOU CAN HEAR THE GUNSHOTS AND. >> YOU CAN HEAR THIS MIGHT BE INSIDE THIS AMERICAN HOPING TO LEAVE PORT AU PRINCE TODAY ON A STATE DEPARTMENT FLIGHT.

HE CHOSE NOT TO DISCLOSE HIS IDENTITY ON CAMERA OUT OF FEAR OF GANG VIOLENCE. >> SO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. THAT IS GOOD BECAUSE THERE’S SO MANY HAITIANS HERE, PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THAT CAN’T LEAVE. >> KNOW THIS DISASTER. >> AND MATT RIVERS JOINS ME NOW

FROM PORT AU PRINCE FOR MORE ON THIS. MATT, YOU’VE BEEN THERE FOR THE PAST DAYS NOW. >> WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE? WELL, WE KNOW THAT THE VIOLENCE IS ON GOING DOWN, IF ONLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD A SERIOUS ROUND OF GUNFIRE, NOT FROM WHERE WE ARE.

>> OUR BEST GUESS, PROBABLY 2 TO 3 KILOMETERS IN THE DIRECTION TO MY LEFT, WHERE THERE’S JUST A SERIES OF GUNFIRE. AND IF YOU COME TO HAITI RELATIVELY FREQUENTLY, KNOW THAT GUNFIRE IN AND AROUND PORT AU PRINCE IS NOT ALL THAT RANDOM. IT IS SOMETHING YOU HEAR.

BUT THE DIFFERENCE ON THIS TRIP IS THAT THE KIND OF GUNFIRE THAT WE JUST HEARD 30 SECONDS AGO IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING ALL THE TIME, THE FREQUENCY, THE VOLUME IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND PORT AU PRINCE. IT FEELS LIKE THESE DAYS THAT IS JUST THE REALITY

OF WHAT’S GOING ON HERE. WE KNOW THE GANGS CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN FIREFIGHTS WITH POLICE REGULARLY, AND WE KNOW THAT ATTACKING DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT’S ONE THING THAT WE’RE SEEING GOING AFTER INDIVIDUALLY, INDIVIDUAL HOMES CAUSING A SENSE OF PANIC, TRYING TO GAIN MORE TERRITORY SO THE GANGS CAN USE THAT AS LEVERAGE.

ANY FUTURE POLITICAL TALKS. IT SOUNDS CRASS TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE’S LIVES ARE BEING AFFECTED BY ALL THIS. BUT THAT IS THE MENTALITY OF THESE GANGS. NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET BY STREET, ASSUMING POWER AS MUCH AS THEY CAN IN ORDER TO USE THAT AGAINST

THE GOVERNMENT DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT THE PORTS ARE CLOSED. >> THERE WAS ALREADY AN EXISTING HUNGER CRISIS. SO YOU’RE SAYING HAITI IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME. WHAT ARE AID WORKERS THERE TELLING YOU? YEAH, THERE’S NO QUESTION, DIANE. I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, IT’S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE AID RUNS OUT.

>> I MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S THERE’S EXISTING HUNGER CRISIS. THE STOCKPILES OF FOOD HERE ARE, NOT ALL THAT HIGH TO BEGIN WITH. AND IF THE AMOUNT IF THE PORTS WHERE YOU CAN BRING IN LOTS OF FOOD ARE CLOSED, WELL, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO? I THINK ONE THING THAT’S

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IS THAT A LOT OF HAITIANS DON’T HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY. THEY DON’T HAVE FREEZER SPACE, LOTS OF STORES, MEATS, THINGS LIKE THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY MOST HAITIANS ARE GOING OUT FOR THEIR FOOD. AND THEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY AT HOME, IT GETS STOCK UP

ON FOOD THE WAY. YOU MIGHT IN THE YOU KNOW, IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES. AND SO THAT’S THE REALITY HERE THAT IF YOU’RE NOT CONTINUALLY RE-UPPING THE FOOD SUPPLY, YOU RUN RISK OF DWINDLING THE SUPPLIES YOU ALREADY HAVE VERY QUICKLY. SO IT’S A COMPOUNDING EFFECT WHEN YOU CLOSE THE PORTS,

YOU MAKE AN ALREADY EXISTING CRISIS THAT MUCH WORSE. NOW, OFFICIALS ARE PLANNING MORE FLIGHTS, BUT THEY SAY CHAOS IN PORT AU PRINCE IS PUTTING RESCUE EFFORTS FOR AMERICANS IN JEOPARDY. >> SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT FRONT? YES, SO THERE WERE TWO EVACUATION FLIGHTS THAT LANDED AT THE U.S. EMBASSY

NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE YESTERDAY. AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WANTS TO CONTINUE TO LAND AT LEAST TWO FLIGHTS PER DAY, DEPENDING ON TWO THINGS. ONE, SECURITY AND TWO, DEMAND. WE KNOW THAT THE DEMAND IS STILL THERE. THERE’S STILL HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS THAT WANT TO GET

OUT OF HAITI, BUT ALSO THE SECURITY CAN CHANGE A DAY TO DAY BASIS. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOME OF THESE HELICOPTERS COMING INTO THE EMBASSY START TAKING POT SHOTS FROM FROM THE GROUND? WHAT HAPPENS IF A GANG JUST, YOU KNOW, FIRES A KALASHNIKOV INTO THE AIR? IS THAT THE KIND OF THING

THAT THE STATE IS GOING TO WITHSTAND IN ORDER TO CONTINUE FLYING THOSE FLIGHTS? I THINK EACH EACH HOUR, REALLY. THERE’S CONTINUAL SECURITY ASSESSMENTS BEING DONE TO SEE IF THOSE FLIGHTS REMAIN A VIABLE OPTION TO GET AMERICANS OUT. AND I JUST WOULD BE REMISS IF WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AMERICANS GETTING OUT.

AT LEAST THE AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. AND THAT’S THIS A POINT THAT WE KEEP DRIVING HOME. BUT I THINK IT’S WORTH REPEATING. AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. THEY’VE GOT A GOVERNMENT THAT’S SENDING IN PLANE OR TO GET THEM OUT. WHO COMES TO GET THE HAITIANS

THAT HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO? AND I THINK THAT THAT’S EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT THE U.S. CITIZENS. SO WE SHOULD ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE 3 MILLION HAITIANS THAT LIVE IN THIS CITY. >> ALL RIGHT, MATT RIVERS IN HAITI THERE TO TELL THAT STORY. MATT, THANK YOU.

AND THE PALACE HAS SOME VIDEO OF THAT IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE HAS ACTUALLY REALLY TRIED TO SHOW THE FACT THAT DESPITE THAT, THE KING IS GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT RIGHT NOW, HE’S STILL TRYING TO WORK TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITIES. AND THEY’VE BEEN SHOWING PEOPLE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS

OF JUST THAT. DIANA, FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, MAGGIE RULLI OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE. THANKS, MAGGIE. AND A FUTURISTIC VIDEO MAYBE PROVIDING GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE LIVE STREAMED BY A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK. VIDEO SHOWS A PARALYZED MAN APPEARING TO MOVE A COMPUTER CURSOR WITH HIS MIND TO PLAY CHESS. A MAN SAYS A MICROCHIP

>> HOW COOL IT IS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. THE GOAL ELON MUSK’S STARTUP IS TO HELP PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEBILITATING CONDITION, INCLUDING PARALYSIS, COMMUNICATE AND CONTROL. EXTERNAL WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. >> THE DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO INTERPRET YOUR NEURAL ACTIVITY SO YOU CAN OPERATE A COMPUTER OR SMARTPHONE BY SIMPLY THINKING.

>> THE FDA APPROVED NEURALINK FOR HUMAN TRIALS LAST MAY. LAST YEAR, SWISS RESEARCHERS COMBINED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BRAIN AND SPINE IMPLANTS TO HELP THIS MAN PARALYZED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. WALK IN AUGUST. THIS WOMAN WHO HAD LOST HER VOICE TO PARALYSIS WAS ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER

HUSBAND AGAIN WITH THE HELP, A MIND CONTROLLED AVATAR TO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH. >> 29-YEAR-OLD ARBOR BECAME A QUADRIPLEGIC AFTER A DIVING ACCIDENT. HE SAYS HE’S NOW THANKFUL FOR THE FREEDOM THE DEVICE GIVES HIM. >> BUT HE DOES SAY THERE’S STILL A WAYS TO GO.

YEAH, I MEAN, IT’S NOT. I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES. I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT IT IS LIKE THIS IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. THERE’S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE, BUT IT HAS ALREADY CHANGED MY LIFE.

ABC NEWS ASHTON SINGH HAS MORE ON THIS STORY IN THIS WEEK’S “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. >> I’M GOING TO TELL THE STORY OF HOW I MET DAVID, MARRIED AND DIVORCED. A REAL PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. >> WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS IN EVEN SORT OF TELLING STORY? BECAUSE I HAVE TO IMAGINE WHEN

YOU’VE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING ALMOST AS TRAUMATIC AS YOU WENT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE’S MOVIES TO PUT IT TO THE SIDE, I HAD INTERNALIZED IT FOR A LONG TIME . THIS STORY HAPPENED 20, 20, 2021. SO WE’RE HERE IN 2024, I JUST NOW FELT COMFORTABLE TO TELL THE STORY BECAUSE FOR

THE LONGEST TIME I WAS SO EMBARRASSED, BEATING MYSELF UP A LOT OF SHAME THE FACT THAT I ALLOWED THIS PERSON INTO MY LIFE. AND SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT IF I’M GOING TO HEAL, THIS IS PART OF MY JOURNEY. >> LISA IS FAR FROM ALONE. EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS

OF AMERICANS SAY THEY’RE DUPED BY, FALSE PROMISES OR FEAR TACTICS. SOME SCAMMED OUT OF THEIR LIFE SAVINGS. LAST FALL, I WAS SCAMMED OUT OF $50,000 BY PEOPLE WHO THREATENED MY FAMILY AND IMPERSONATED GOVERNMENT AGENTS. OTHERS DECEIVED IN MATTERS OF THE HEART. I WILL GIVE UP MY LOVE.

I WILL FIGHT TO THIS JUST BE WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU, LISA. AND LOSING IT ALL. >> SOMETIMES IT’S BELIEVING TOO MUCH IN SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE BELIEVING TOO LITTLE. AND MAYBE IT’S ALSO LITTLE BIT OF ARROGANCE. I SOMETIMES SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERLY SELF-CONFIDENT. THEY SAY, OH, I CANNOT BE TRICKED.

AT THE LUNDBERG NATIONAL PARK IN SOUTH AFRICA. >> THE BULL ELEPHANT, THE VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET IN THE AIR TWICE BEFORE LETTING DROP. THE DRIVER BACKING UP, SLAMMING HIS HAND AGAINST THE DOOR, TRYING TO CONVINCE THE ELEPHANT TO STOP. >> THIS ELEPHANT WAS OBVIOUSLY A MALE AND. HE WAS CHALLENGING THAT VEHICLE.

HE’S INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. BUT THE MALES LIKE THAT, THEY’RE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS PUNKS BECAUSE THEY THEY CAN SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF TEMPER, THEY CAN SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF ATTITUDE. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOMETIMES IT’S MORE AWKWARD, BUT EVENTUALLY THERE IS ENOUGH BETWEEN THE ANIMAL AND THE

VEHICLE AND THE ELEPHANT LOSES . >> YES, WE WERE DEFINITELY SCARED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY MIGHT DIE. >> THE DRIVER’S ACTIONS GETTING MIXED REVIEWS ONLINE, BUT EXPERTS SAY THE DRIVER DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THAT SITUATION. >> ANYBODY WHO’S WORKED

>> 16 ABC NEWS LIVE. >> HI, I’M DIANE MACEDO TODAY ON ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, MORE TROUBLE IN THE SKIES. THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING A SECURITY BREACH AT A MAJOR AMERICAN AIRPORT. HOW IS A MAN ABLE TO BOARD A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT A TICKET? THE URGENT UNDERWAY FOR AN

ESCAPED CONVICT AND HIS ACCOMPLICE. POLICE ARE CHASING THEM AFTER AN AMBUSH AT AN IDAHO HOSPITAL LEFT THREE OFFICERS SHOT. HOW THEY GOT AWAY AND WHAT WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE SUSPECTS. THE RACE TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. WHAT’S IN THE NEW AND CAN LAWMAKERS PASS IT BEFORE TOMORROW’S DEADLINE?

AND A MAJOR LEAGUE SCANDAL. THE DODGERS FIRED BASEBALL SHOHEI OHTANI AS FRIEND AND INTERPRETER AMID MASSIVE THEFT ALLEGATIONS. HOW HE’S ACCUSED OF STEALING MILLIONS FROM THE PITCHER TO PAY OFF GAMBLING DEBTS. BUT WE START WITH THE FBI INVESTIGATING THAT MAJOR AIRPORT SECURITY BREACH. AGENTS SAY, A MAN WAS ABLE

TO GET ONTO A DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHT IN UTAH AFTER ALLEGEDLY USED A PICTURE OF ANOTHER PASSENGER’S TICKET TO BOARD THE PLANE. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS DETAILS. THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. THE FBI IS NOW INVESTIGATING AGAIN. THIS MAN ALLEGEDLY MADE IT ALL THE WAY ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT THOSE TICKETS.

NOW, HERE’S WHAT COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. THEY SAY THAT THE 26-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SUNDAY IN SALT LAKE CITY, TAKING PHOTOS OF MULTIPLE PASSENGERS PHONES AND BOARDING PASSES. WHILE THEY WERE NOT LOOKING, HE THEN USED HIS PHONE AS A BOARDING PASS TO GET ON THAT PLANE. NOW, ONCE ONBOARD, THEY SAY

HE ENTERED THE LAVATORY UNTIL THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND THE PLANE BEGAN TO TAXI. A FLIGHT ATTENDANT APPROACHED HIM AND REALIZED THE MAN DID NOT HAVE A TICKET OR SEAT. THE PLANE RETURNED TO THE GATE . THE MAN WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH STOWING AWAY ON AN AIRCRAFT.

NOW, TURNS OUT THE MAN WAS BOOKED ON TWO STANDBY FLIGHTS ON SOUTHWEST, BUT BOTH WERE FULL. SO HE TRIED TO GET ON THE DELTA FLIGHT INSTEAD. HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET HOME. NOW, DELTA SAYS IT IS COOPERATING WITH THIS INVESTIGATION.

AND WHILE IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAN MEANT NO HARM, OF COURSE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AND THIS WILL BE A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION. DIANE ALL RIGHT. >> ABC TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ, THANK YOU. AND AN URGENT MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR AN ESCAPED CONVICT AND AN ACCOMPLICE AFTER

AN AMBUSH AT AN OHIO HOSPITAL. EXCUSE ME? AN IDAHO HOSPITAL. >> THE BOISE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE CONVICTED FELON WAS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL IN POLICE CUSTODY WHEN HIS ACCOMPLICE OPENED FIRE, INJURING OFFICERS AND PAVING THE WAY FOR THEIR ESCAPE. ABC’S VICTOR OQUENDO HAS THE LATEST. BOISE.

ANY UNIT AVAILABLE FOR A MAN 8 HOURS 1055 NORTH KOREA THE URGENT. >> IN IDAHO WHO ESCAPED CUSTODY IN POLICE ARE CALLING A COORDINATED ATTACK THAT LEFT THREE OFFICERS SHOT. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS THESE ARE DANGEROUS. >> 31-YEAR-OLD SKYLER MEAD

ONE OF THEM IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION BUT IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE. MEAN HAD BEEN IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AS HE WAS CONSIDERED A SECURITY RISK.

AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ARE RACING TO PASS A BIPARTISAN FUNDING BILL TO AVERT A PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S DEADLINE. THE HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THE $1.2 TRILLION FUNDING PACKAGE TOMORROW. >> LEAVING THE SENATE LIMITED TIME, NBC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS ROSE JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE.

CATHERINE, WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THIS BILL AND WILL LAWMAKERS BE ABLE TO MEET THIS TIGHT DEADLINE? >> WELL, LOOK, IT’S A GOOD QUESTION TO THIS POINT $2 TRILLION FUNDING BILL INCLUDES FUNDING FOR SIX BILLS. THAT INCLUDES DEFENSE, FINANCIAL SERVICES, HOMELAND SECURITY FOREIGN OPERATIONS. BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION

OF WHETHER LAWMAKERS BE ABLE TO MEET THIS DEADLINE, WE EXPECT THERE WILL BE A VOTE ON THIS TOMORROW. IT HASN’T BEEN FORMALLY NOTICED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT THEN, OF COURSE, IT GOES OVER TO THE SENATE AND FUNDING RUNS OUT AT MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY. SO QUESTION IS, WILL THEY

BE ABLE TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? AND AT LEAST IT SEEMS AT THIS POINT THAT MAYBE THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF MINI SHUTDOWN INTO THE WEEKEND WHEN THAT’S HAPPENED BEFORE? IT HASN’T AFFECTED MAJOR OPERATIONS IN WAY. BUT THAT’S THE BIG QUESTION. WHEN WILL THE HOUSE VOTE? AND THEN CAN THE SENATE WHEN

WILL THE SENATE VOTE ON THIS? THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THIS WILL PASS. >> WE DO EXPECT IT TO PASS IN BOTH CHAMBERS. THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, JAMES COLMER SAYS HE WILL INVITE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TESTIFY ABOUT HIS ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN HIS FAMILY’S BUSINESS ENDEAVORS. THIS, OF COURSE, COMES AFTER

A CONTENTIOUS HEARING YESTERDAY IN THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. WHAT’S THE LATEST AND IS THERE ANY CHANCE THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY TESTIFIES HERE? >> I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS CHANCE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL TESTIFY HERE. OF COURSE, THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS SAID THAT THEY PLAN TO INVITE THEM FORMALLY INVITED IN.

BUT THIS IS REALLY HOUSE REPUBLICANS LONGSHOT ATTEMPT TO KEEP THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY ALIVE. WE KNOW WE REPORTED THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, REPUBLICANS ARE REALLY SAYING THAT THEY DON’T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. THE WHITE HOUSE HASN’T

SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I COULD PRETTY MUCH GUESS THAT I DON’T THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE SHOWING UP TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ANYTIME SOON. >> AND THE SENATE IS ALSO THIS BILL ALREADY PASSED BY THE HOUSE THAT COULD BAN TIKTOK. SENATORS HELD THIS CLASSIFIED BRIEFING YESTERDAY, THEN WARNED

THAT TICK TOCK ENDANGERS MILLIONS OF USERS. >> SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT BILL AND WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM LAWMAKERS ABOUT IT? KNOW, THERE DEFINITELY IS A SHARED SENSE IN THE HOUSE AND IN THE SENATE. TIKTOK DOES POSE A MASSIVE SECURITY THREAT AND. OF COURSE, THE HOUSE BILL HAS

SOME SUBSTANTIVE BACKERS ON THE SENATE SIDE. CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, MARK WARNER. RUBIO, IN ADDITION TO THAT. BUT THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS, DOES SCHUMER PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR? THERE’S BEEN SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONG COMMITTEE CHAIRS. SO REALLY THE PROCESS IN THE SENATE, HOW DOES THIS MOVE FORWARD?

DOES IT COME TO THE FLOOR AT ALL FOR A VOTE? SCHUMER’S HAD A BIT OF A DIFFICULT SITUATION. SO WE JUST HAVE TO SEE AGAIN, PROCESS WISE, HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN THE SENATE. DIANE. >> ALL RIGHT. SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS ANNOUNCING A NEW ROUND

OF STUDENT DEBT RELIEF FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BORROWERS WHO WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY BILLION DOLLARS IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 FIREFIGHTERS, NURSES, TEACHERS AND OTHERS ALREADY ENROLLED IN. THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM. ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPOND SELINA WANG HAS THE DETAILS.

>> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ANNOUNCING MORE LOAN RELIEF, FOCUSING IN ON A KEY CAMPAIGN PROMISE. THIS MORNING THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY $6 BILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS. THESE ARE TEACHERS NURSES, FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN PROGRAM.

AND THEY’LL SOON BE GETTING AN EMAIL FROM THE PRESIDENT NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS RELIEF. NOW, WITH THIS LATEST MOVE, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS CANCELED A TOTAL OF $144 BILLION FOR NEARLY 4 MILLION AMERICANS. AND THEY SAY THAT ANOTHER 400,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS ARE ON TRACK TO THEIR LOANS

FORGIVEN IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. NOW, REMEMBER, LAST THE SUPREME COURT HAD STRUCK DOWN THE PRESIDENT’S ORIGINAL PLAN TO CANCEL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DEBT FOR ALL BORROWERS MAKING LESS THAN $125,000. BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS FOUND WAYS AROUND IT FINDING OTHER WAYS TO CANCEL STUDENT DEBT. NOW, WITH THE GENERAL HEATING

UP, THIS PRESIDENT IS EAGER TO SHOW THIS CORE GROUP OF VOTERS THAT HE HASN’T GIVEN UP ON THIS ISSUE YET. THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING, AGAIN, TO USE ALL THE TOOLS HE CAN TO CANCEL MORE STUDENT DEBT FOR MORE. DIANE. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG. THANK. AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

IS FACING A MONDAY DEADLINE TO PAY NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA IS CHALLENGING HIS CLAIM THAT HE CAN’T SECURE THE BOND, URGING THE COURT TO IGNORE HIS REQUEST TO LOWER THE AMOUNT. >> SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT HAS THE LATEST. >> NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA IS URGING AN APPEALS

COURT TO IGNORE DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT SECURING THE BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. HIS LAWYER SAID IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING A BOND TO GUARANTEE HE CAN PAY IF HE LOSES HIS APPEAL OF A NEARLY BILLION DOLLAR CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. THEY SAID MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED

HIM DOWN AND THEY ASKED FOR A COURT PERMISSION POST A SMALLER BOND OR NONE AT ALL. THERE’S A CRITICAL DEADLINE IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY JAMES, CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE. >> YOU’RE PREPARED TO HAVE

THE STATE MOVE TO SEIZE TRUMP’S ASSETS. WE ARE PREPARED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE JUDGMENT IS PAID TO NEW YORKERS. >> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BALKED AT ALLOWING TRUMP TO FORGO POSTING A FULL BOND. SHE SUGGESTED HE COULD TRY DIVIDING THE BOND AMONG MULTIPLE SURETIES OR EVEN TURNING OVER HIS PROPERTIES.

THE COURT TO HOLD AS COLLATERAL, LIKE HIS GOLD PLATED PENTHOUSE IN TRUMP TOWER, WHICH HE SHOWED OFF TO BARBARA WALTERS IN 2015. I LOOK AROUND, YEAH, THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON HERE AND PRETTY WELL STATE OFFICIALS CAN’T JUST PADLOCK TRUMP TOWER OR THIS TRUMP BUILDING HERE

ON WALL STREET, BUT THEY CAN TAKE LEGAL STEPS LIKE LEAVES AND FORECLOSURES UNTIL THEY’RE SATISFIED TRUMP CAN PAY WHAT A JUDGE SAID HE OWES. DIANE JUNIOR CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND A MAJOR NEW STORM IS ON THE MOVE. MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE.

>> ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE IS TRACKING THAT FOR US. GINGER. >> A LOT OF FOLKS ARE SAYING, OH, MY GOODNESS, IT’S SO COLD. WELL, PROBABLY FEELS REALLY COLD BECAUSE WE STARTED THE MONTH OF MARCH FOR A LOT OF FOLKS. GREAT LAKES, NORTHEAST EXTREMELY WARM. WE’RE ALSO HAVING THE WIND

WITH THESE COLD TEMPS AND IT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. BUT WINDCHILLS THIS MORNING WERE IN THE TEENS AND TWENTIES, AND WE’LL SEE THAT AGAIN ON OUR FRIDAY. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SNOW PART OF IT, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SNOW SQUALLS, ESPECIALLY MOVING VERMONT.

PLACES LIKE BURLINGTON, THOUGH, IT’S THREE PLUS FEET BELOW AVERAGE FOR SNOW. SO MARCH BRINGING IN MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT DEFICIT, BECAUSE THAT’S NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT’S STORM ONE. AND THEN WE’RE WATCHING THE SECOND STORM THAT WILL IMPACT THE TWIN CITIES, PARTS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS OVER INTO

WISCONSIN AND THAT’S FOR TOMORROW. SO IT COULD BE A REALLY ROUGH COMMUTE FROM MILWAUKEE, SAY, MADISON, BACK TO THE TWIN CITIES. AND THEN YOU SEE HOW IT’S ALL RAIN THAT MOVES FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, THESE TWO STORMS MERGE AND THAT’S GOING TO WRAP UP ENOUGH MOISTURE TO DROP SIGNIFICANT

RAIN ALONG I-95 FIVE AND JUST INLAND. AND THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS WILL COME CLOSER TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. BUT THAT ELEVATED FLOOD RISK I YOU TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO PHILADELPHIA HUDSON VALLEY. DEFINITELY ATLANTIC CITY OR DOVER, OVER TO PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, BY THE WAY, IS MORE THAN EIGHT INCHES ABOVE

AVERAGE ALREADY. THAT’S BEFORE THAT STORM. SO, YOU KNOW, WE’RE JUST TOO SATURATED. SPEAKING OF, THERE WILL BE SATURATING STORMS TODAY WITH THE BIGGEST THREAT OF BIG HAIL THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS AND EARLY AFTERNOON IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS DIANE. >> ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE.

>> THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. I DIDN’T. IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. ANYWHERE. WOW WOW. THE INTERNET CAN BE A SCARY PLACE. HE HAD MY NAME, MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, MY AND THE NAMES, MY HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GET MARRIED? I LOVE. IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY SCARY. >> IT IS. CALL PHASE LIED TO ME AND MADE UP A WHOLE STORY. >> DID I’M HERE. IS THIS PERSON ACTUALLY WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE? IF YOU THINK YOU COULD GET PLAYED, JUST WATCH THIS.

HOW GOT PLAYED. THIS IS “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE” NOW STREAMING ON HULU. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. AND IT’S TIME NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY SEGMENT ASK ALEXIS WHERE BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS SHARES FINANCIAL ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. AND TODAY SHE’S HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON FANTASY

SPORTS TAXES, CREDIT CARDS AND MORE. ALEXIS, I WANT TO START BY ASKING YOU ABOUT REDDIT SHARES TRADING ON THE STOCK MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. IT’S SET TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST TECH IPOS OF THE YEAR. SO HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THIS?

THIS IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL. >> THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM GOING. IT’S GOING TO START TRADING ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE TODAY UNDER THE SYMBOL D T, IT IS PRICED AT $34 A SHARE. THAT’S AT THE HIGH END

OF EXPECTATION, WHICH GOES TO SHOW YOU ALL THE INTEREST IN REDDIT. AND IT’S VALUING THIS COMPANY AT $6.4 BILLION. THIS IS THE BIGGEST TECH OR THE I SHOULD SAY, THE FIRST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TO GO PUBLIC SINCE PINTEREST. >> AND THAT WAS BACK IN 2019, DIANE AND ALEXIS.

>> SO OF COURSE I WANT TO GET TO THE VIEWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. PHIL FROM NEW YORK WRITES, I HAVE A LONG TIME CREDIT CARD I NEVER USED WITH AN INTEREST RATE OF 28%. SHOULD I JUST CLOSE THE ACCOUNT? WELL, THAT IS A THAT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE

CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATE, WHICH IS AT A RECORD 21%. SO NOT MUCH BETTER. BUT IF YOU’RE NO USING THE CARD, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE CLOSING THE ACCOUNT. >> AND HERE’S WHY. BECAUSE IT CAN WIND UP HURTING YOUR CREDIT SCORE. SO IF THE CARD HAS NO ANNUAL

FEE, YOU MAY WANT TO KEEP IT OPEN, ESPECIALLY IT’S A CARD YOU’VE HAD FOR A LONG TIME. >> CLOSING OLDER CREDIT CARDS CAN ACTUALLY SHORTEN YOUR CREDIT HISTORY AND EVEN YOUR PAYMENT WITH THAT CARD WILL BE WIPED AWAY EVENTUALLY, WHICH CAN ALSO NEGATIVELY YOUR SCORE. SO ANY UNUSED REWARDS POINTS

WILL ALSO DISAPPEAR ONCE YOU CLOSE THAT ACCOUNT AND CLOSING A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT ALSO REDUCES YOUR AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE CREDIT, WHICH HURT WHAT’S CALLED YOUR CREDIT UTILIZATION RATIO. RIGHT. SO THIS GOAL HERE IS TO HAVE YOUR TOTAL CREDIT CARD BALANCES BE NO MORE THAN 30% OF YOUR TOTAL AVAILABLE CREDIT.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CREDIT LIMIT ON ALL OF YOUR CARDS IS $10,000, YOUR OUTSTANDING CREDIT CARD DEBT SHOULD NO MORE THAN 3000. SO CLOSING A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT LOWERS THAT TOTAL AVAILABLE CREDIT WHILE RAISING YOUR CREDIT UTILIZATION INSTEAD OF CLOSING THAT ACCOUNT. >> USE IT MAYBE ONCE A YEAR

JUST TO KEEP IT ACTIVE. OR YOU CAN CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD ISSUER, ASK ABOUT TRADING IN FOR A CARD WITH MORE FAVORABLE TERMS. TRY TO AVOID CLOSING IF YOU CAN. GOOD TO KNOW. AND NICK FROM MARYLAND WANTS TO KNOW, DO I TO PAY TAXES ON FANTASY SPORTS WINNINGS? UNFORTUNATELY YES.

>> YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT ANY NET PROFITS FROM PLAYING FANTASY SPORTS ON YOUR TAX RETURN, JUST AS YOU WOULD ANY CASH PRIZE OR GAMBLING WIN. IF IT’S A HOBBY, YOU CAN REPORT IT AS OTHER INCOME ON YOUR SCHEDULE ONE FOR FORM 1040. BUT IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT YOU

PLAY FANTASY SPORTS REGULARLY AND AS A FOR PROFIT ACTIVITY, YOU CAN ACTUALLY REPORT ANY NET PROFIT AS BUSINESS INCOME ON YOUR SCHEDULE. C YOU CAN THEN USE ANY LOSSES TO REDUCE YOUR OTHER TAXABLE INCOME. THE IRS MAY ALSO CONSIDER AN ACTIVITY AS FANTASY SPORTS TO BE A BUSINESS IF IT EARNS A PROFIT.

>> AT LEAST OUT OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS. SO THAT’S DEFINITELY A ROUTE A FOLKS SHOULD SHOULD EXPLORE. >> DIANE. ALL RIGHT, ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. THANK YOU. AND IF YOU WANT TO ASK ALEXIS ANY PERSONAL FINANCE QUESTIONS, LEAVE A MESSAGE ON HER INSTAGRAM FEED AT ABC NEWS LIVE AND SHE MIGHT

ANSWER YOUR QUESTION RIGHT HERE ON THURSDAY. MEANWHILE, ONE OF BASEBALL’S BIGGEST STARS IS AT THE CENTER OF A MAJOR LEAGUE SCANDAL. THE DODGERS HAVE FIRED SHOHEI OHTANI, LONGTIME FRIEND AND INTERPRETER, AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED OF STEALING MILLIONS OHTANI TO PAY OFF GAMBLING DEBTS. ABC’S WHIT JOHNSON HAS THE LATEST RESULTS.

>> IT WAS REALLY FUNNY. REX WANTED TO WRITE. BASEBALL SUPERSTAR SHOHEI OHTANI, FRESH OFF SIGNING HIS $700 MILLION CONTRACT LAST YEAR, IS TAKING A MAJOR HIT A TWO RUN HOMER. SHOHEI TURNING THE DODGERS FIRING OHTANI’S LONGTIME FRIEND AND INTERPRETER. EPA MISUARI AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY STOLE MORE THAN $4.5 MILLION

FROM OHTANI TO PAY OFF DEBTS. ALLEGEDLY PLACED WAGERS WITH AN ILLEGAL SPORTSBOOK IN CALIFORNIA. OUR COLLEAGUES AT ESPN REVIEWED BANK INFORMATION THEY SAY SHOWS OHTANI HIS NAME, TWO $500,000 PAYMENTS MADE LAST YEAR. HE SAID THAT OHTANI HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF HIS GAMING DEBTS AND HAD NOT THE MONEY THROUGH THE WIRE TRANSFERS.

>> MISS YOU HORROR DENIES EVER BETTING ON BASEBALL AND CLAIMS OHTANI HAD NO KNOWLEDGE HIS GAMBLING DEBTS OR TRANSFERS. A SPOKESMAN FOR OHTANI SAYS THE BASEBALL STAR HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF A MASSIVE THEFT. >> AND WE ARE TURNING THE MATTER OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES. YOU HAVE TO LOOK INTO WHAT HOW

DID HE GET ACCESS TO OHTANI MILLIONS HOURS BEFORE HE WAS FIRED. MR. HARA WAS SEEN TALKING TO OHTANI DURING THE DODGERS IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA. OHTANI LATER CELEBRATING HIS FIRST OFFICIAL HIT AS A DODGER TO REX, IS, AND HE GETS ON TOP OF IT. FANS GOING WILD FOR OHTANI,

TICKETS SELLING OUT IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR. BUT THIS MORNING, A DIFFERENT IN THE DUGOUT FOR THE SECOND GAME IN THE SERIES. OHTANI IS NOW TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE DISTRACTIONS. OVERNIGHT NIGHT MANAGER DAVE ROBERTS WITH LITTLE TO SAY ABOUT THE SCANDAL BEFORE THE FIRST PITCH SHOW. HE’S READY.

I KNOW THAT HE’S PREPARING IN A HITTER’S MEANING RIGHT NOW AND READY TO GO FOR TONIGHT’S GAME. >> THE RIGHT WHIT JOHNSON. THANK YOU. AND AN ATTORNEY FOR THE SPORTSBOOK TOLD ESPN THEIR CLIENT NEVER MET OR SPOKE WITH OHTANI. THE INTERPRETER MATSUBARA SAYS HE DIDN’T KNOW THE BETTING WAS ILLEGAL.

HE SAYS HE LEARNED HIS LESSON THE HARD WAY AND WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. COMING UP, THE NEW PUSH TO MAKE THE ROAD SAFER FOR WOMEN AND THE FACT ABOUT CRASH DUMMIES THAT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE TO TALK TO THE FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND, A REFUGEE CENTER

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY, SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD, OUR MURROW AWARDS, AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST, WORTHLESS, ANNOYING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS WE GET YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART

OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE RIGHT NOW. >> COUNTLESS AMERICAN WOMEN ARE FACING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING SILENT THREATS.

AMERICA REPORTING THE WAR IN UKRAINE. I’M IAN PANNELL. WHEREVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. NOT STREAMING. ABC NEWS LIVE. WELCOME BACK. >> ROAD SAFETY COULD SOON IMPROVE FOR WOMEN THANKS TO A CHANGE IN CRASH DUMMIES. THE DUMMIES HAVE BEEN USED FOR DECADES BUT HAD NEVER BEEN DESIGNED TO REFLECT FEMALE

BODIES. EVEN THOUGH WOMEN ARE 73% MORE LIKELY TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A CRASH THAN MEN. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS MORE. THESE ARE THE CRASH TESTS THAT SHAPE CAR SAFETY IN AMERICA. >> BUT THE DUMMIES INSIDE ARE BASED ON DESIGNS. NEARLY FIVE DECADES OLD AND ARE LARGELY BUILT TO REFLECT

THE MALE BODY. >> IN FACT, THE CURRENT FEMALE DUMMY IS ESSENTIALLY A SCALED DOWN MALE DUMMY. MY SMALL INTESTINE IS RUPTURED. MARIA WESTERN KOON AND HER FAMILY WERE IN A SERIOUS CRASH IN 2019 WHILE HER DAD AND BROTHER WALKED AWAY WITHOUT INJURY. SHE WAS HOSPITALIZED. SHE SAYS CALLS ARE DESIGNED

TO BE SAFER FOR MEN THAN FOR WOMEN BECAUSE THERE’S NO ACCURATE FEMALE DUMMY IN TESTING. >> SHE’S NOW ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE. WHEN A SEATBELT IS DESIGNED TO START THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF SOMEONE’S BODY IN A CRASH, IT’S DESIGNED TO STOP THAT BY HITTING ON YOUR BONES, WHICH

CAN ABSORB A GOOD AMOUNT OF FORCE. RIGHT. I DON’T KNOW HOW THE MALE PELVIS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS DESIGNED FOR. SO INSTEAD OF HITTING THE BONE, IT SLID UP AND HIT MY STOMACH. AND THAT’S HOW IT BURST MY INTESTINE. >> EXPERTS SAY IN GENERAL HAVE LESS MUSCLE MASS THAN MEN.

THEY TEND TO SIT CLOSER TO STEERING WHEEL AND THEIR LEGS ARE OFTEN BENT AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE TO REACH PEDALS . THEIR DIFFERENT PELVIS SIZE COULD ALSO AFFECT THE FIT OF THE SEATBELT. ALL DIFFERENCES THAT CAN CHANGE HOW THEIR BODIES RESPOND TO THE CRASH. >> THAT’S WHERE CHRIS O’CONNOR COMES IN.

SO THERE’S SENSORS HERE THAT DIDN’T EXIST 40 YEARS AGO. >> HE’S THE CEO OF HUMAN MEDICS, THE LARGEST CRASH TEST DUMMY MANUFACTURER IN AMERICA. >> THE NEWEST CRASH TEST DUMMY IS DESIGNED AROUND THE INJURIES THAT A FEMALE WOULD EXPERIENCE THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN A MALE. SO YOU CAN DESIGN SAFER AGAINST

THOSE INJURIES. O’CONNOR AND HIS TEAM ARE TO GET THESE MORE ACCURATE FEMALE DUMMIES IN THE GOVERNMENT TESTS NOW. >> OUR GOAL AND OUR MISSION IS TO SAVE LIVES. AND WE DEVELOPED TEST EQUIPMENT TO REPRESENT THE CURRENT INJURIES AND FATALITIES BEING EXPERIENCED. AND YET THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT GETTING TO THE MARKET FAST.

>> I’M SURE EVERYONE WHO’S WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW IS ASTOUNDED, BELIEVE IN THE YEAR 2024 THAT WE DO NOT USE A PHYSIOLOGICAL. FEMALE CRASH TEST DUMMY BEHIND THE WHEEL A CAR TO DETERMINE THE SAFETY OF WOMEN. >> POLLY TRACHTENBERG IS THE DEPUTY TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY OVERSEEING NYSSA, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.

THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF VEHICLES. NO QUESTION THAT THERE WAS A DISPARITY BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE CRASH OUTCOMES. AND LOOK, AS A DEPARTMENT, WE ARE OBVIOUSLY TO CLOSING THAT GAP. IN THE MOST RECENT VEHICLE YEARS, WE’VE SEEN THAT GAP CLOSED, BUT I THINK NO ONE IS GOING TO REST UNTIL WE FULLY

CLOSE THAT GAP. >> A 2023 GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT SLAMMED MAZZA FOR NOT HAVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS RISKS AND LIMITATIONS IN THE INFORMATION THE CURRENT DUMMIES PROVIDE. NETS HAS ANNOUNCED BEEN WORKING WITH HUMAN X ON THAT NEW ADVANCE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ANATOMICALLY CORRECT FEMALE DUMMY. THEY’RE ALREADY EXPERIMENTING WITH MORE ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE

IN TERMS OF ABDOMEN AND CHEST, A MORE SOPHISTICATED SET OF SENSORS. THIS IS A REAL UPGRADE. SO TO THE CRITICS WHO SAY THIS IS TAKEN TOO LONG, THERE’S TOO MUCH RED TAPE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. >> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO SOME OF THOSE CRITICS, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURERS

OF THESE CRASH TEST DUMMIES? >> THERE’S BEEN SOME BACK AND FORTH. >> THEY’VE GIVEN US MODELS THAT NEEDED WORK THAT WEREN’T DURABLE AND REPEATABLE AS WE NEED THEM TO BE. NEARLY $1,000,000 A PIECE. HUMAN ETHICS BELIEVES THE NEWER DUMMIES ALREADY AND THE HOPES THEY COULD BE APPROVED BY THE FALL.

>> THIS IS ABOUT OUR MOTHERS AND ABOUT OUR DAUGHTERS AND ABOUT OUR SISTERS EVERY WOMAN GETTING IN A CAR IS AT MORE RISKS THAN A MAN. >> AND EVEN IF KNITS ARE FINALLY APPROVED, THE FEMALE DUMMY IN THE FALL, IT MAY STILL TAKE FOUR OR FIVE YEARS BEFORE WE

ACTUALLY SEE THEM IN MANDATED CRASH TESTS. >> THAT’S BECAUSE THE CAR COMPANIES NEED SOME TIME TO SORT IT ALL OUT.

ABC NEWS AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE NEWS SOURCE. WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST, THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT KAZAKHSTAN ON THIS THURSDAY WHERE A SPACECRAFT SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH AN AMERICAN TO THE INTERNATIONAL STATION WAS SCRUBBED JUST SECONDS BEFORE LIFTOFF. NO WORD YET ON WHAT CAUSED

THE SCRUB OR WHEN IT WILL MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT. WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND HEAVY RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE. THIS AFTER SNOW SQUALLS IN VERMONT LED TO CRASHES ON 89.

NOW A NEW MAJOR STORM IS EXPECTED TO DROP SEVEN INCHES OF SNOW IN THE DAKOTAS, MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN AREA. THAT’S EXPECTED TO TURN TO HEAVY RAIN AS MAKES ITS WAY TO THE I-95 CORRIDOR THIS WEEKEND. WINDY CONDITIONS IN MINNESOTA SENT A HOT AIR BALLOON CRASHING TO THE GROUND.

FOUR PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD WHEN THE BALLOON WAS BLOWN INTO A POWER LINE. THE CRASH SPARKED A SMALL BRUSH FIRE WHICH WAS QUICKLY PUT OUT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. AND THE SUMMER OLYMPICS IN PARIS ARE GOING UNDERGROUND TO KEEP THE ATHLETES QUARTERS COOL. ORGANIZERS SAY THEY’RE DITCHING TRADITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING

TO TRY TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT. INSTEAD, THEY’RE PLANNING TO USE A GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM COOLED BY WATER THAT’S SUPPOSED TO ENSURE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ATHLETE’S APARTMENTS WON’T RISE ABOVE 79 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. >> MEANWHILE, MORE AMERICANS ARE BACK ON U.S. SOIL AFTER BEING EVACUATED FROM HAITI. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS

A U.S. CHARTERED FLIGHT IN ORLANDO YESTERDAY AND TWO OTHERS TRANSPORTED MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. BUT HUNDREDS AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED THERE AS THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM SAYS THE COUNTRY IS ON THE VERGE OF FAMINE. MATT RIVERS HAS THE LATEST FROM PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI. >> EMOTIONAL REUNIONS

AND ORLANDO SANFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. >> YOU OBVIOUSLY SAW TEARS. >> YOU SAW LAUGHTER. YOU SAW JOY. AMERICANS FLEEING WEEKS OF UNREST IN HAITI FINALLY COMING HOME. >> WE’RE FINALLY REUNITED WITH JULIAN, OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON. IT TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. SO THE DAYS WERE TURNING INTO

WEEKS, THE WEEKS FOR TURNING INTO MONTHS. PHILLIP ALMOND RECALLING THE HARROWING JOURNEY. THE VERY DIFFICULT PART WAS GETTING AROUND AND MAKING TO THE AIRPORT FOR THE TO FLY OUT. IT WAS JUST SCARY. >> THIS EVACUATION FLIGHT FROM NORTHERN HAITI, WHERE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO GANG VIOLENCE, HAD 14 PASSENGERS ON BOARD,

INCLUDING EIGHT CHILDREN. WEDNESDAY, OUR TEAM CAPTURING THIS DARING MISSION. TWO STATE DEPARTMENT CHOPPERS FLYING AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS OUT OF PORT AU PRINCE. AFTER WEEKS OF CHAOS, GANGS HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON THE CAPITOL CITY WHERE MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED, DEAL WITH GUNSHOTS AND UTILITY DEVICES. >> AND THIS AMERICAN HOPING

LEAVE PORT AU PRINCE TODAY ON A STATE DEPARTMENT FLIGHT. HE CHOSE NOT DISCLOSE HIS IDENTITY ON CAMERA OUT OF FEAR OF GANG VIOLENCE. >> SO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE THERE’S SO MANY HAITIANS HERE, PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT CAN’T LEAVE LIKE BROKEN.

>> AND MATT RIVERS JOINS NOW FROM PORT AU PRINCE FOR MORE ON THIS. MATT, YOU’VE BEEN THERE FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. >> WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE? >> WELL, WE KNOW THAT THE VIOLENCE HAS ON GOING DOWN, IF ONLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD A SERIOUS ROUND

OF GUNFIRE, NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE. OUR BEST GUESS, PROBABLY 2 TO 3 KILOMETERS IN THE DIRECTION TO MY LEFT, WHERE THERE’S JUST SERIES OF GUNFIRE. AND IF YOU COME TO HAITI RELATIVELY FREQUENTLY, YOU KNOW THAT GUNFIRE IN AND AROUND PORT AU PRINCE IS NOT ALL THAT RANDOM.

IT IS SOMETHING YOU HEAR. BUT THE DIFFERENCE ON THIS TRIP IS THAT THE KIND OF GUNFIRE THAT WE JUST HEARD 30 SECONDS AGO IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING ALL THE TIME, THE FREQUENCY, THE VOLUME IN. EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND PORT AU PRINCE, IT FEELS LIKE THESE

DAYS THAT IS JUST THE REALITY OF WHAT’S GOING ON HERE. WE KNOW THE GANGS CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN FIREFIGHTS WITH POLICE REGULARLY, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY’RE ATTACKING DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT’S ONE THING THAT WE’RE SEEING GOING AFTER PEOPLE’S INDIVIDUALLY, INDIVIDUAL HOMES CAUSING A SENSE OF PANIC, TRYING TO GAIN MORE TERRITORY

SO THE GANGS CAN USE THAT AS LEVERAGE. ANY FUTURE POLITICAL TALKS. IT SOUNDS CRASS TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS. WE, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE’S LIVES ARE BEING AFFECTED BY ALL THIS . BUT THAT IS THE MENTALITY OF THESE GANGS. NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET BY, STREET.

ASSUMING POWER AS MUCH AS THEY CAN IN ORDER TO USE THAT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT THE PORTS ARE CLOSED. >> THERE WAS ALREADY AN EXISTING CRISIS. SO YOU’RE SAYING HAITI IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME. WHAT ARE AID THERE TELLING YOU? YEAH, THERE’S NO QUESTION, DIANE.

I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, IT’S MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE AID RUNS OUT. >> I MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S THERE’S ALREADY EXISTING HUNGER CRISIS. THE STOCKPILES OF FOOD HERE ARE ALL THAT HIGH TO BEGIN WITH. >> AND IF THE AMOUNT IF THE PORTS WHERE CAN BRING

IN LOTS OF FOOD ARE CLOSED, WELL, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO? I THINK ONE THING THAT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IS THAT A LOT OF HAITIANS DON’T HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY. THEY DON’T HAVE FREEZER SPACE, LOTS OF STORES, MEATS, THINGS LIKE EACH AND EVERY DAY. MOST HAITIANS ARE GOING OUT FOR THEIR FOOD.

AND THEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY AT HOME. THEY CAN’T STOCK UP ON FOOD WAY YOU MIGHT IN THE YOU KNOW, IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES. AND SO THAT’S THE HERE THAT IF YOU’RE NOT CONTINUALLY RE-UPPING THE FOOD SUPPLY, YOU RUN RISK OF DWINDLING THE SUPPLIES YOU ALREADY HAVE VERY QUICKLY.

SO IT’S COMPOUNDING EFFECT. WHEN YOU CLOSE THE PORTS, YOU MAKE AN ALREADY EXISTING CRISIS THAT MUCH WORSE. NOW, OFFICIALS ARE PLANNING MORE EVACUATION FLIGHTS, BUT THEY SAY CHAOS IN PORT AU PRINCE IS PUTTING RESCUE FOR AMERICANS IN JEOPARDY. >> SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT FRONT? YEAH, SO THERE WERE

TWO EVACUATION FLIGHTS THAT LANDED AT THE US EMBASSY NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE YESTERDAY. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WANTS TO CONTINUE TO LAND AT LEAST TWO FLIGHTS PER DAY, DEPENDING ON TWO THINGS. ONE, SECURITY AND TWO, DEMAND. WE KNOW THAT THE DEMAND IS STILL THERE. THERE’S STILL HUNDREDS

AMERICANS THAT WANT TO GET OUT OF HAITI. >> BUT ALSO THE SECURITY CAN CHANGE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOME OF THESE HELICOPTERS COMING INTO THE EMBASSY START TAKING POT SHOTS FROM FROM FROM THE GROUND? WHAT HAPPENS IF A GANG MEMBER JUST, YOU KNOW, FIRES

A KALASHNIKOV INTO THE AIR? IS THAT THE KIND OF THING THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO WITHSTAND IN ORDER TO CONTINUE FLYING THOSE FLIGHTS? I THINK EACH DAY EACH HOUR, REALLY, THERE’S CONTINUAL SECURITY ASSESSMENTS BEING TO SEE IF THOSE FLIGHTS REMAIN A VIABLE OPTION TO GET AMERICANS OUT.

AND I JUST WOULD BE REMISS IF WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AMERICANS GETTING. AT LEAST THE AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. AND THAT’S THIS IS A POINT THAT WE KEEP DRIVING HOME. BUT I THINK IT’S WORTH REPEATING. AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. THEY’VE GOT A GOVERNMENT THAT’S

SENDING IN PLANE OR HELICOPTERS TO GET THEM OUT. WHO COMES TO GET THE HAITIANS THAT HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO? AND I THINK THAT THAT’S EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT THE U.S. CITIZENS, RIGHTLY SO, WE SHOULD ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE 3 MILLION HAITIANS THAT LIVE IN THIS CITY.

>> ALL RIGHT, MATT IN HAITI THERE TO TELL THAT STORY. MATT, THANK YOU. STAY SAFE. >> AND NOW TO A NEW WARNING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGERS. TIKTOK. AFTER A NATIONAL SECURITY BRIEFING WEDNESDAY, ONE SENATORS COMPARING THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TO A GUN AIMED AT AMERICANS. ABC NEWS ANDREA FUJII HAS

THE DETAILS. >> THE BILL WAS PASSED ONE WEEK AFTER THE HOUSE APPROVED A BILL THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BAN TIKTOK IN. U.S. SENATORS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE HAVE A STARK NEW WARNING ABOUT THE APP. >> TIKTOK IS A GRAVE NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TO AMERICANS. TIKTOK IS A GUN AIMED

AT AMERICANS HEADS. >> SENATORS YESTERDAY GOT A CLASSIFIED BRIEFING ABOUT HOW TIKTOK OWNED BY CHINESE COMPANY BYTEDANCE USES THE INFORMATION IT AGAINST AMERICANS. ONE CONCERN THAT THE ACT COULD BE USED BY CHINA TO INFLUENCE THE UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. >> I WILL SAY VERY EMPHATICALLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED

AND DESERVE TO HEAR WHAT WE’VE JUST BEEN TOLD BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DEEPLY FRIGHTENED BY DANCE DENIED SHARING AMERICANS DATA WITH THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. TIKTOK HAS URGED ITS 170 MILLION USERS IN THE U.S. TO CONTACT THEIR LAWMAKERS TO OPPOSE THE BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE. >> SOME OF THAT LOBBYING NOW

REPORTEDLY GETTING VIOLENT. >> OKAY, LET’S SAY IF YOU BAN, I WILL FIND YOU, YOU. >> THAT’S A VOICEMAIL. NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR THOM TILLIS SAYS HIS OFFICE TO HAVE TIKTOK TELL THESE KIDS TO DO THAT. DOES ACTUALLY HELP THEIR CASE. >> IT HURTS THEIR CASE. THE BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE WOULD FORCE BYTEDANCE

TO SELL THE APP OR FACE A BAN IN THE U.S.. STILL NO WORD IF THE SENATE WILL TAKE UP THAT BILL, BUT APPEARS TO BE GROWING SUPPORT FOR SOME SORT OF ACTION LATER THIS SPRING. >> THE CONTENT ON TIK TOK IN CHINA IS PUSHING THINGS LIKE AND SCIENCE AND EDUCATION

AND HARD WORK AND DISCIPLINE. AND HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IS PUSHING THINGS TO KIDS LIKE SELF-HARM AND SUICIDE. >> OUR THANKS TO ANDREA FUJII FOR THAT REPORT. AND SENATORS ARE NOW CONSIDERING HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TIK TOK BILL. CONGRESS RETURNS FROM SPRING BREAK APRIL EIGHT.

LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START. THE HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS STAR ERIKA JAYNE, CELEBRITY ATTORNEY GIRARDI. THIS STORY WAS A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION. THEY SAMPLED VICTIMS TO GET

A CHANCE TO FIND THE ERROR. AND THAT’S SORT OF A LOSS HERE . WHAT TO SAY. DID YOU SEE THE DOCUMENTARY IN THAT HOUSE? I DID. I WANTED ERIKA TO SAY I’M SORRY. FACE TO FACE. ERIKA, WHY DO YOU THINK YOU SAW THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSE?

>> YOU KNOW, WELCOME BACK. AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY INTO THE POSSIBLE BREACH OF PRINCESS KATE’S MEDICAL RECORDS. THIS IS. WE’RE NEW DETAILS ABOUT HER EXPECTED RETURN TO ROYAL DUTIES. ABC FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MAGGIE RULLI HAS THE LATEST NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE REPORT OF AN ATTEMPTED BREACH OF PRINCESS KATE’S MEDICAL RECORDS.

ITV NEWS REPORTING. THREE MEMBERS OF STAFF FROM THE EXCLUSIVE LONDON CLINIC ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO ACCESS KATE’S AFTER SHE UNDERWENT ABDOMINAL SURGERY IN JANUARY. >> A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE U.K. PRIVACY WATCHDOG TELLING ABC NEWS THAT IT RECEIVED A BREACH REPORT ABOUT KATE’S RECORDS AND IS ASSESSING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED.

>> KENSINGTON PALACE NOT YET COMMENTING, SAYING IT’S A MATTER FOR LONDON CLINIC. THE CLINIC FAMOUS FOR TREATING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, INCLUDING KING CHARLES, WHO WAS A PATIENT THERE AT THE SAME TIME AS KATE. DESPITE THE LATEST SCANDAL TO ROCK THE ROYAL FAMILY, PRINCE WILLIAM ALL SMILES AS HE

SPENT WEDNESDAY VISITING WITH WELSH GUARDS NEAR HIS FAMILY HOME IN WINDSOR. >> NOW NEW REPORTS KATE MAY MAKE HER REASSURANCE INTO ROYAL DUTIES ON EASTER SUNDAY IF SHE GOES TO CHURCH. I’M SURE THAT ALL OF THEM COME DOWN A FEW MORE OF THE DOWNS TIMES, BUT NOT COMPLETELY.

THE REALITY IS THAT THIS PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. THEY DIDN’T GET MORE OPEN ABOUT IT. BUT I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MEDICAL HEALTH ISSUE BUSINESS AND MAGGIE RULLI JOINS ME NOW FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE FOR MORE ON THIS. >> WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE

FROM KATE ON EASTER SUNDAY? HEY, DIANA. WELL, THE OFFICIAL LINE FROM THE PALACE AT THE SAME THING. THEY’VE BEEN SAYING SINCE JANUARY, ALL WE KNOW IS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE PRINCESS SOME TIME AFTER EASTER. BUT THERE’S BEEN NEW REPORTING A, LOT OF REPORTING THAT ALLUDING TO THE FACT SHE

MIGHT BE THERE ON EASTER SUNDAY, POTENTIALLY WALKING INTO THE CHURCH ON EASTER SUNDAY. IT WAS INTERESTING DIANA’S. WE’RE ALSO HEARING FROM SOME OF HER FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SPEAKING TO NEWSPAPERS HERE, THE U.K. SAYING THAT PERHAPS AFTER EASTER, WHEN SHE’S BACK IN THE LIGHT, SHE’LL BE READY TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THESE HEALTH ISSUES.

SO IT’LL BE REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH. ONCE SHE DOES REENTER ROYAL LIFE, WILL SHE BE MORE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT WHAT SHE’S BEEN THROUGH AND HAVE THE REST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY RESPONDING TO ALL OF THIS. YEAH. YOU KNOW, IT REALLY FEELS LIKE DESPITE ALL OF THIS INTENSE

FOCUS ON THE ROYALS RIGHT NOW, THE FAMILY IS JUST TRYING TO GET ON WITH THEIR WORK, PUT THEIR HEAD DOWN AND DO THE JOB. AND WE SAW PRINCE WILLIAM WITH THE WELSH GUARDS. QUEEN CAMILLA IS IN NORTHERN IRELAND TODAY. AND ACTUALLY, DIANE, EVEN THOUGH SHE’S IN THE MIDDLE

OF CANCER TREATMENT RIGHT NOW, WE SAW KING CHARLES DRIVE INTO BUCKINGHAM PALACE TODAY. SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH THE WHOLE WORLD SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT PRINCESS KATE, THE REST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY IS TRYING TO GO ON ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS. MAGGIE, WHAT IS THE LATEST ON THE KING’S CONDITION AND THE

PALACE HAVEN’T GIVEN ANY FURTHER UPDATES SINCE THAT INITIAL UPDATE THAT HE WAS UNDERGOING CANCER TREATMENT, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN US SORT OF SNAPSHOTS OF HIS LIFE. WE’VE SEEN HIM IN OFFICIAL VIDEOS BEING RELEASED OF HIM GOING THROUGH GET WELL CARDS. WE ALSO KNOW HE’S CONTINUED TO MEET WITH THE PRIME MINISTER

FOR THEIR WEEKLY AUDIENCES. THE PALACE HAS RELEASED SOME VIDEO OF THAT IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. SO THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE TEAM HAVE ACTUALLY REALLY TRIED TO SHOW THE FACT THAT THAT THE KING IS GOING THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT RIGHT NOW. HE’S STILL TRYING WORK TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITIES.

AND THEY’VE BEEN SHOWING PEOPLE VIDEOS, PHOTOS OF JUST THAT. >> DIANA, FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, MAGGIE RULLI OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE. >> THANKS, MAGGIE. AND A FUTURISTIC VIDEO MAYBE PROVIDING A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE, LIVESTREAMED BY A COMPANY OWNED BY ELON MUSK. THAT VIDEO SHOWS A PARALYZED MAN APPEARING TO MOVE

A COMPUTER CURSOR WITH HIS MIND TO PLAY CHESS. A MAN, A MICROCHIP IMPLANTED IN HIS BRAIN MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE. TREVOR AULT HAS THE DETAILS. >> A MAJOR SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT. IT WAS LIKE USING THE FORCE. ELON MUSK’S NEURALINK INTRODUCING THE WORLD TO WHO THEY SAY IS THEIR FIRST PATIENT

WITH A BRAIN COMPUTER IMPLANT. >> I LOVE PLAYING. AND SO THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL HAVE ENABLED ME TO DO SOMETHING THAT I WASN’T ABLE TO REALLY DO MUCH. THE LAST FEW YEARS. >> NOLAN ARBA RECEIVED THE IMPLANT IN JANUARY. HE’S SEEN DURING THE LIVESTREAM

DIRECTING THE COMPUTER CURSOR TO MAKE MOVES. >> HOW COOL IT IS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. THE OF ELON MUSK’S STARTUP IS TO HELP PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEBILITATING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING PARALYSIS, COMMUNICATE AND CONTROL EXTERNAL DEVICES WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. THE DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO INTERPRET YOUR NEURAL ACTIVITY SO YOU CAN OPERATE

A COMPUTER OR SMARTPHONE BY SIMPLY THINKING. >> THE FDA APPROVED NEURALINK FOR HUMAN TRIALS LAST MAY. LAST YEAR, SWISS RESEARCHERS COMBINED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BRAIN AND SPINE IMPLANTS TO HELP THIS MAN PARALYZED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. WALK AGAIN IN AUGUST. THIS WOMAN, WHO HAD LOST HER VOICE TO PARALYSIS, WAS

ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER HUSBAND AGAIN WITH THE HELP, A MIND CONTROLLED AVATAR TO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH. >> 29-YEAR-OLD ARBOR BECAME A QUADRIPLEGIC AFTER A DIVING ACCIDENT. HE SAYS HE’S NOW THANKFUL FOR THE FREEDOM THE DEVICE GIVES HIM. >> BUT HE DOES SAY THERE’S

STILL A WAYS TO GO. YEAH, I MEAN, IT’S NOT PERFECT. I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES. I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT IT IS LIKE THIS IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE. BUT IT HAS ALREADY CHANGED MY LIFE.

OUR THANKS TO TREVOR ALS FOR THAT REPORT. AND EVERY YEAR, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS GET DUPED ON OFFLINE WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS. RECENTLY, SAID THE CREATOR OF THE VIRAL WHO TESTED I MARRY ON TIK TOK AS SAYING SHE WAS DECEIVED. AND SHE’S NOT ALONE. ABC NEWS ASHTON SINGH HAS

MORE ON THIS STORY IN THIS WEEK’S “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. >> I’M GOING TO THE STORY OF HOW I MET DAVID, MARRIED AND DIVORCED A REAL PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. >> WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS? EVEN EVEN SORT OF TELLING THE STORY? BECAUSE I HAVE TO IMAGINE WHEN YOU’VE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING

ALMOST AS TRAUMATIC, AS YOU WENT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE’S MOVIES, TO PUT IT TO THE SIDE, I HAD INTERNALIZED IT FOR A LONG TIME. THIS STORY HAPPENED 20, 20, 2021. SO WE’RE HERE IN 2024. I JUST NOW FELT COMFORTABLE TO TELL THIS STORY BECAUSE FOR THE LONGEST TIME I WAS SO

EMBARRASSED BEATING MYSELF UP A LOT OF SHAME THE FACT THAT I ALLOWED THIS PERSON INTO MY LIFE. AND SO IT WAS VERY TO ME THAT IF I’M GOING TO HEAL, THIS IS OF MY JOURNEY. >> REZA IS FAR FROM ALONE. EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS SAY THEY’RE DUPED

BY, FALSE PROMISES OR FEAR TACTICS. SOME SCAMMED OUT THEIR LIFE SAVINGS. LAST FALL, I WAS SCAMMED OUT OF $50,000 BY PEOPLE WHO, THREATENED MY FAMILY, AND IMPERSONATED GOVERNMENT AGENTS. OTHERS DECEIVED IN MATTERS OF THE HEART. I WILL GIVE UP MY LOVE. I WILL FIGHT TO THIS JUST BE WITH YOU.

I LOVE YOU. LIE SAD AND LOSING IT ALL. >> SOMETIMES IT’S BELIEVING TOO MUCH, IN PEOPLE. SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE BELIEVING TOO LITTLE. AND MAYBE IT’S ALSO LITTLE BIT OF ARROGANCE. I SOMETIMES SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERLY SELF-CONFIDENT. THEY SAY, OH, I CAN’T BE TRICKED. SO THEIR GUARD IS DOWN AND THEY

DON’T DO THEIR HOMEWORK. AND YOU CAN SEE MORE OF OPTIONS. FULL REPORT ON THIS WEEK’S EPISODE “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. HOW I GOT PLAYED. ONLY ON HULU EPISODES DROP EVERY THURSDAY AND A WILD SAFARI CAUGHT ON CAMERA IS GOING VIRAL. TOURISTS IN SOUTH AFRICA GOT MORE THAN THEY BARGAINED FOR

WHEN AN ELEPHANT ATTACKED THEIR SAFARI TRUCK, NEARLY FLIPPING IT OVER. ABC’S EVA PILGRIM HAS MORE MORE ON THIS TERRIFYING MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA. FRIGHTENED TOURISTS DUCKING BETWEEN SEATS DURING A TENSE STANDOFF BETWEEN THE SAFARI AND AN ANGRY ELEPHANT AT THE LUNDBERG NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH AFRICA. THE BULL ELEPHANT LIFTING

VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET IN THE AIR TWICE BEFORE LETTING IT DROP. THE DRIVER BACKING UP, SLAMMING HAND AGAINST THE DOOR, TRYING TO CONVINCE THE ELEPHANT TO STOP. THIS ELEPHANT WAS OBVIOUSLY A MALE, AND HE WAS CHALLENGING VEHICLE. >> HE’S INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. BUT — BUT MALES LIKE THEY’RE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS

PUNKS BECAUSE THEY CAN SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF TEMPER, THEY CAN SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF ATTITUDE. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S MORE BARKED IN BY IT. >> EVENTUALLY, THERE IS ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ANIMAL AND THE VEHICLE, AND THE ELEPHANT LOSES INTEREST. YES, WE WERE DEFINITELY SCARED,

ESPECIALLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY MIGHT DIE. >> THE DRIVER’S ACTIONS GETTING MIXED REVIEWS ONLINE, BUT EXPERTS SAY THE DRIVER DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THAT SITUATION. >> ANYBODY WHO’S WORKED WITH ELEPHANTS WILL TELL YOU WHEN A BULL LIKE THAT,

YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T TURN AND RUN. YOU NEED TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE OF STAND YOUR GROUND. >> EVA PILGRIM THANK YOU. AND WE SHOULD NOTE, THE TOUR OPERATOR HAS TOLD ABC NEWS HE IS SUPPORTING FLENSBURG NATIONAL PARK WITH THEIR INTERNAL INVESTIGATION INTO THAT. >> COMING UP, LINDSAY LOHAN

FIRST WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW ANTITRUST AGAINST APPLE. WE’RE AWAITING COMMENTS FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND. MINUTE NOW. AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION, THE SUIT ALLEGES THAT APPLE A MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET BY BLOCKING ITS COMPETITORS ACCESSING CERTAIN IPHONE FEATURES. ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND SAYS

IF LEFT UNCHALLENGED, APPLE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN ITS SMARTPHONE MONOPOLY. APPLE SAYS IN A STATEMENT, QUOTE, THIS THREATENS WHO WE ARE AND THE PRINCIPLES THAT SET APPLE PRODUCTS APART IN FIERCELY COMPETITIVE MARKETS. LET’S BRING IN ABC BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS, ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUSHFIRE AND ABC’S JACK DORSEY FOR MORE.

JACK, LET’S START WITH THE BASICS HERE. WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS LAWSUIT ALLEGING RIGHT SO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ALONG WITH 16 STATES AND DISTRICTS ATTORNEYS GENERAL ARE GOING AFTER APPLE FOR WHAT THEY CALL ANTI-COMPETITIVE PRACTICE. THEY SAY APPLE IS ACTIVELY BLOCKING COMPETITORS IN SUPER APPS, WHAT THEY CALL SUPER APPS, SUPPRESSING CLOUD

STREAMING SERVICES FROM COMPETITORS, STOPPING CROSS-PLATFORM MESSAGING, THINGS LIKE IF YOU’RE MESSAGING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE ANDROID PLATFORM, YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A GREEN BUBBLE ON THEIR MESSAGES WITH SOME DIMINISHED FEATURES. AND SO PRACTICES LIKE THAT, THEY SAY, ARE ANTI AND MONOPOLISTIC AND ULTIMATELY THEY’RE COSTING CONSUMERS MORE MONEY.

AND THAT’S SOMETHING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS AGGRESSIVELY GOING AFTER THEM TO TRY TO BRING AN END TO. NOW, THIS HAS BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING, AND RESOLVING THIS COULD TAKE MANY, MANY MORE YEARS. APPLE IS AN ABSOLUTE COLOSSUS IN THE TECH WORLD AND IN BRINGING THE SUIT TO SOME

SORT OF CONCLUSION IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON, I WOULD SUGGEST. APPLE, FOR ITS PART, SAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE YOU KNOW, THEY BRING THEIR THEIR CUSTOMERS MAGICAL EXPERIENCE, THEY SAY, AND THEY ENHANCE THEIR PRIVACY AND SECURITY WITH THEIR PRACTICES. AND SO THEY THINK THAT THE GOVERNMENT’S HEAVY HAND WILL

DIMINISH SOME OF THE FEATURES THAT APPLE CUSTOMERS HAVE COME TO. >> ALEXIS, HOW DID THIS INVESTIGATION START TO BEGIN WITH, WHAT’S THE CONTEXT HERE OF HOW THIS STARTED? >> THIS IS INDEED YEARS IN THE MAKING? >> AND APPLE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO EVADE THE DOJ AT LEAST ,YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES

TO U.S. LAW, THEY’RE THE LAST THE FOUR BIG MEGA TECH COMPANIES TO HAVE AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT BE AGAINST THEM. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE ALREADY LAWSUITS OUTSTANDING AGAINST THE BIG ONES, AMAZON, META AND GOOGLE. >> AND ALL ALONG THERE’S BEEN THIS TALK THAT THEY’VE SQUASH COMPETITION IN THE APP STORE,

THAT THEY’RE CHARGING HIGH FEES, THAT THEY HAVE SO-CALLED WALLED GARDEN AROUND THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR COMPETING TECH COMPANIES TO USE AND ENTER SORT OF THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM. I MEAN, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU HAVE AN IPHONE AND YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT GOING AND BUYING A LAPTOP.

YOU MIGHT THINK TWICE ABOUT GOING OUTSIDE THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM BECAUSE IT’S HARDER TO INTEGRATE IT WITH YOUR HARDWARE. AND THAT’S SORT ABOUT THE CRUX OF THIS DOJ CASE. I’VE BEEN THERE MYSELF. I THINK THEY’RE ALL SEVERAL HAVE, RIGHT? SO, BRIAN, ANTITRUST CASES, AS ALEXIS SAID, THEY’RE FAR FROM UNHEARD OF.

SEVERAL OF THESE BIG TECH COMPANIES HAVE ANTITRUST CASES AGAINST THEM RIGHT NOW. AND YET YOU DON’T OFTEN HEAR OF THEM MAKING MUCH PROGRESS. HOW HARD IS THIS KIND OF CASE TO BRING AGAINST A COMPANY LIKE APPLE? >> IT’S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF ONE WHO YOU’RE GOING UP AGAINST.

I MEAN, COMPARE WHAT WE’RE SEEING AGAINST APPLE. AS TO THE 90S, WE SAW A CASE AGAINST MICROSOFT, A LARGE ENTITY THAT ULTIMATELY, I THINK MANY CRITICS SAY THEY CAME OUT OF BEING A BETTER CORPORATE OR CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AFTERWARDS. BUT IN ORDER TO START THIS LITIGATION, TO CONTINUE IT

AND ALSO TO TRY TO GET THE COMPANY TO CHANGE IN SOME MEANINGFUL WAY IS A DIFFICULT ENDEAVOR. IT’S GOING TO SEE WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE IS A GIANT PUSH BACK FROM APPLE. AND WHAT I WANT TO SEE IS THEIR RESPONSE TO THESE ALLEGATIONS, NOT JUST A PR PERSPECTIVE, BUT HOW THEY’RE SAYING

THEY ARE. THEY ARE, ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE, INTEGRATE. BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULTIES FROM THAT. I MEAN, I DON’T TEXT DR. PATEL BECAUSE I LIKE SEEING THAT GREEN BUBBLE WAS GOING TO THROW HIS NAME IN THE FIRST LIKE I’M USED TO. >> BY THE WAY, I DON’T

COMMUNICATE WITH BOTH OF THOSE PEOPLE THROUGH YEARS BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN’T WORK. >> AND SO I THINK FROM THAT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT INTEGRATION AND HOW THAT OPERATES. >> BUT WHAT’S APPLE GOING TO SAY TO PUSH BACK AND WHAT WE ALL AGREE? I DON’T KNOW WHAT CLASSIST I’M RIGHT.

IT’S LIKE, WELL, I HAVE A BLUE BUBBLE. YOU HAVE A GREEN BUBBLE. THAT MEANS I HAVE AN IPHONE AND YOU HAVE AN ANDROID. >> IT’S — IT’S BIZARRE THAT THEY DON’T LISTEN. GOOGLE TECH POLICY FELLOW MIKE MUSE WOULD TAKE YOU UP ON THAT, SAYING, YOU KNOW, MY PHONE TAKES BETTER PICTURES

,THEN IT’S A BETTER PHONE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. WE ARE NOT AS A NEWS ORGANIZATION SAYING ANY OF THAT. OF COURSE, THAT’S BETWEEN APPLE AND GOOGLE. BUT JACK TALKED TO ME ABOUT THESE CASES. HOW DOES THIS LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE COMPARE TO SOME OF THESE OTHERS AGAINST, THE BIG TECH COMPANIES?

>> WELL, I THINK ONE BIG THING YOU’RE GOING TO SEE IS JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT’S GOING TO TAKE TO RESOLVE. AGAIN, IT’S A IT’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY GOOD TIME TO BE ANTITRUST IN WASHINGTON. BUT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY DOJ IS SAYING THAT IF THEY’RE GOING

AFTER APPLE ON PRINCIPLE, THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO THAT THESE THESE PRACTICES FROM APPLE AT THEIR CORE, EVEN THOUGH CONSUMERS MAY ENJOY SOME OF THESE FEATURES AND MAY ENJOY THE COMPETITIVE OF APPLE DEVICES AND WORKING IN THAT APPLE UNIVERSE AND HOW SEAMLESSLY THOSE PRODUCTS WORK AT THEIR CORE, THOSE

ARE ANTI-COMPETITIVE PRACTICES . THEY HURT COMPETITION AND ULTIMATELY THEY HURT THE CONSUMER. THEY COST THE CONSUMER. >> AND THERE’S ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND TAKING THE PODIUM NOW. LET’S LISTEN. GOOD MORNING. >> EARLIER TODAY, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, JOINED BY 15 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, SUED

IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY FOR SECTION TWO, THE SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT. OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, APPLE HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE PUBLIC COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. >> TODAY, ITS NET INCOME EXCEEDS THE INDIVIDUAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF MORE THAN 100 COUNTRIES.

THAT IS IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE IPHONE. APPLE’S SMARTPHONE PRODUCT FOR OVER A DECADE, SALES HAVE MADE UP A MAJORITY OF APPLE’S ANNUAL REVENUE. >> TODAY, APPLE’S SHARE OF THE U.S. PERFORMANCE SMARTPHONE MARKET EXCEEDS 70% AND ITS SHARE OF THE ENTIRE U.S. SMARTPHONE MARKET EXCEEDS 65%.

>> APPLE CHARGES AS MUCH AS NEARLY 1600 DOLLARS FOR AN IPHONE. >> BUT AS OUR COMPLAINT ALLEGES, APPLE HAS MAINTAINED MONOPOLY POWER IN THE SMARTPHONE MARKET, NOT SIMPLY BY AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION ON THE MERITS, BUT BY VIOLATING FEDERAL ANTITRUST LAW. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY HIGHER BECAUSE COMPANIES

BREAK THE LAW. WE ALLEGE THAT APPLE HAS EMPLOYED A STRATEGY THAT RELIES ON EXCLUSIONARY ANTICOMPETITIVE CONDUCT THAT HURTS BOTH CONSUMERS AND DEVELOPERS. FOR CONSUMERS, THAT HAS MEANT FEWER CHOICES, HIGHER PRICES AND FEES, LOWER QUALITY SMARTPHONES, APPS AND ACCESSORIES, AND LESS INNOVATION FROM APPLE AND ITS COMPETITORS. FOR DEVELOPERS THAT HAS MEANT

BEING FORCED TO PLAY BY THE RULES THAT INSULATE APPLE COMPETITION. AND AS OUTLINED IN OUR COMPLAINT, WE ALLEGE THAT APPLE HAS CONSOLIDATED ITS MONOPOLY POWER NOT BY MAKING ITS OWN PRODUCTS BETTER, BUT BY MAKING PRODUCTS WORSE. >> APPLE CARRIES OUT ITS EXCLUSIONARY, ANTI-COMPETITIVE CONDUCT IN TWO PRINCIPAL WAYS. >> FIRST, APPLE IMPOSES

CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTIONS AND FEES THAT LIMIT THE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY THAT DEVELOPERS CAN OFFER IPHONE USERS. SECOND, APPLE SELECTIVELY RESTRICTS ACCESS TO THE POINTS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN THIRD PARTY APPS AND THE IPHONE’S OPERATING SYSTEM. DEGRADING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF NON-APPLE APPS AND ACCESSORIES. AS A RESULT, FOR MOST OF THE

PAST 15 YEARS, APPLE HAS COLLECTED A TAX IN THE FORM A 30% COMMISSION ON THE PRICE OF ANY APP DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE APP STORE AS WELL AS AN IN-APP PURCHASES. APPLE IS ABLE TO COMMAND THESE FEES COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES. >> APPLE ALSO SUPPRESSED THE EMERGENCE OF PROGRAMS LIKE

CLOUD STREAMING APPS INCLUDING GAMING APPS, AS WELL AS SUPER APPS THAT COULD REDUCE USER DEPENDANCE ON APPLE’S OWN OPERATING SYSTEM. >> AND EXPENSIVE HARDWARE. AND AS ANY IPHONE WHO HAS EVER SEEN A GREEN TEXT MESSAGE OR RECEIVED A TINY GRAINY VIDEO CAN ATTEST APPLE’S ANTI-COMPETITIVE CONDUCT ALSO INCLUDES MAKING IT

MORE DIFFICULT FOR IPHONE USERS TO MESSAGE WITH USERS OF DON APPLE PRODUCTS. >> IT DOES THIS BY DIMINISHING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ITS OWN APP AND BY DIMINISHING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THIRD PARTY MESSAGING APPS. BY DOING SO. APPLE KNOWINGLY AND DELIBERATELY DEGRADES QUALITY PRIVACY AND SECURITY FOR ITS USERS.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN IPHONE USER MESSAGES A NON USER IN APPLE MESSAGES, THE TEXT APPEARS NOT AS A GREEN BUBBLE, BUT INCORPORATES LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONVERSATION IS NOT ENCRYPTED, VIDEOS ARE PIXELATED AND GRAINY AND USERS CANNOT EDIT MESSAGES OR SEE TYPING INDICATORS. AS A RESULT, IPHONE USERS PERCEIVE RIVAL SMARTPHONES

AS BEING LOWER QUALITY BECAUSE EXPERIENCE OF MESSAGING, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO DO NOT OWN IPHONES IS WORSE. EVEN THOUGH APPLE IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKING CROSS-PLATFORM MESSAGING AND IT DOES SO INTENTIONALLY. FOR EXAMPLE, 2013, A SENIOR EXECUTIVE AT APPLE EXPLAINED THAT SUPPORTING CROSS-PLATFORM MESSAGING AND APPLE MESSAGES, QUOTE WOULD SIMPLY SERVE

TO REMOVE AN OBSTACLE TO IPHONE FAMILIES GIVING THEIR KIDS ANDROID PHONES. CLOSE QUOTE. >> IN 2022, APPLE’S CEO WAS ASKED WHETHER APPLE WOULD FIX IPHONE TO ANDROID MESSAGING. THE QUESTIONER ADDED, QUOTE, NOT TO MAKE IT PERSONAL, BUT I CAN’T SEND MY MOM CERTAIN VIDEOS. CLOSE QUOTE. APPLE’S CEO, CEO RESPONDED

BY YOUR MOM AND IPHONE. >> IN ADDITION TO SELECTIVELY CONTROLLING APP DISTRIBUTION CREATION, WE ALLEGE THAT APPLE IS VIOLATING THE LAW BY CONDITIONALLY RESTRICTING DEVELOPERS ACCESS TO THE INTERFACE WHICH IS NEEDED TO MAKE AN APP FUNCTIONAL. ON THE APPLE OPERATING FOR A PRODUCT LIKE A SMARTWATCH OR A DIGITAL WALLET.

TO BE USEFUL TO AN IPHONE USER, IT MUST ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE IPHONE’S OPERATING SYSTEM. BUT APPLE CREATES BARRIERS THAT MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE FOR BOTH USERS AND DEVELOPERS TO VENTURE OUTSIDE THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM. WHEN IT COMES TO SMARTWATCHES. APPLE NOT ONLY DRIVES USERS TO PURCHASE AN APPLE WATCH,

WHICH IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH AN IPHONE, IT ALSO USES ITS TECHNICAL AND CONTRACTUAL CONTROLS TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR SOMEONE WITH AN IPHONE TO USE A NON-APPLE SMARTWATCH. >> AND WHEN IT COMES TO DIGITAL WALLETS, APPLE’S EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT GOES A STEP FURTHER. >> DIGITAL WALLETS ALLOW USERS TO STORE AND USE PASSES

CREDENTIALS IN A SINGLE APP, INCLUDING CREDIT CARDS, PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION, MOVIE TICKETS AND CAR KEYS. APPLE IS APPLE’S PROPRIETARY DIGITAL WALLET ON THE IPHONE, APPLE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGES BANKS, MERCHANTS AND, OTHER PARTIES TO PARTICIPATE IN APPLE WALLET. BUT IT’S SIMILAR EXERTS ITS MONOPOLY POWER TO BLOCK THE SAME PARTNERS FROM DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR IPHONE USERS. FOR EXAMPLE, APPLE HAS BLOCKED THIRD PARTY DEVELOPERS FROM FROM CREATING COMPETING DIGITAL WALLETS ON THE IPHONE. THEY USE WHAT IS KNOWN AS TAP TO FUNCTIONALITY. THAT IS A FUNCTION THAT MAKES A DIGITAL WALLET WELL, A WALLET INSTEAD FORCES THOSE WHO WANT TO USE THE WALLET FUNCTION

TO SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION. APPLE, EVEN IF THEY WOULD PREFER TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION SOLELY THEIR BANK, MEDICAL PROVIDER OR OTHER TRUSTED THIRD PARTY. WHEN AN IPHONE USER PUTS A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD IN APPLE WALLET, APPLE INSERTS ITSELF. THE PROCESS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE OCCUR DIRECTLY THE USER AND THE CARD ISSUER.

THIS INTRODUCES AN ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL POINT OF FAILURE FOR THE PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF APPLE USERS. AND THAT IS JUST ONE WAY IN WHICH APPLE IS WILLING TO MAKE THE IPHONE LESS AND LESS PRIVATE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ITS MONOPOLY POWER . THE SUPREME COURT DEFINES MONOPOLY POWER AS, QUOTE,

THE POWER TO CONTROL PRICES OR EXCLUDE COMPETITION AS SET OUT IN OUR COMPLAINT. APPLE HAS POWER IN THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. >> NOW, HAVING MONOPOLY POWER DOES NOT ITSELF VIOLATE THE ANTITRUST LAWS, BUT IT DOES WHEN A FIRM ACQUIRES OR MAINTAINS MONOPOLY POWER, NOT BECAUSE IT HAS A SUPERIOR PRODUCT OR SUPERIOR BUSINESS

ACUMEN, BUT BY ENGAGING IN EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT AS SET OUT IN OUR COMPLAINT. APPLE HAS MAINTAINED ITS POWER NOT BECAUSE OF ITS SUPERIORITY ,BECAUSE OF ITS UNLAWFUL, EXCLUSIONARY BEHAVIOR. MONOPOLIES LIKE APPLE’S THREATEN THE FREE AND FAIR MARKETS UPON WHICH OUR ECONOMY IS BASED. THEY STIFLE INNOVATION. THEY HURT PRODUCERS

AND WORKERS, AND THEY INCREASE COSTS FOR CONSUMERS. IF LEFT UNCHALLENGED, APPLE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN ITS SMARTPHONE MONOPOLY. IF THERE’S A LAW FOR THAT. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WILL VIGOROUSLY ENFORCE ANTITRUST. ENFORCING THE LAW PROTECTS CONSUMERS FROM HIGHER PRICES AND FEWER CHOICES. THAT IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S LEGAL.

THAT IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPECT. THAT IS WHAT THEY DESERVE. I AM TO THE ATTORNEYS AND STAFF OF THE DEPARTMENT’S ANTITRUST DIVISION FOR THEIR TIRELESS WORK ON THIS CASE ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND I’LL TURN THE PODIUM OVER TO THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL . THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR.

ATTORNEY GENERAL. AND GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST CORPORATE, WE’VE BEEN LISTENING TO ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND THERE AFTER THE OF JUSTICE ANNOUNCED A NEW ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE . AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION, THE SUIT ALLEGES THAT APPLE CREATED A MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET BY BLOCKING ITS COMPETITORS

FROM ACCESSING CERTAIN FEATURES. >> LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS JUSTICE AND HOMELAND SECURITY REPORTER JACK DOHERTY, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS FOR MORE. JACK, YOU HEARD THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYING THAT APPLE TAKES OVER 70% OF THE SMARTPHONE MARKET RIGHT NOW, BUT HE’S

SAYING THEY DIDN’T GET THERE BY BEING FAR AND ABOVE THE COMPETITION, BUT RATHER BY SETTING UP THESE BARRIERS TO OTHER PHONES AND THIRD PARTIES. SO HOW DID THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT GO FROM THERE TO THEY ARE BREAKING ANTITRUST RULES AND WE NEED TO BRING THIS LAWSUIT. RIGHT. IT’S NOT ILLEGAL TO DOMINATE

A MARKET IF YOU DO IT BY MERIT. BUT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS ALLEGING THAT THEY DID IT BY THE LAW THROUGH EXCLUSIONARY PRACTICES. AND AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID THERE’S A LAW FOR THAT. AND SO THE END RESULT OF THIS, THOUGH, IS IT’S MAKING THINGS MORE EXPENSIVE AND PERHAPS LESS SECURE FOR CUSTOMERS.

THE DOJ ALLEGES THINGS LIKE DIGITAL WALLETS WHEN YOU TAP TO PAY THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS, IF HAVE AN APPLE PRODUCT, YOU’RE YOU’RE FORCED TO USE APPLE’S PROPRIETARY DIGITAL WALLET. BUT IT CREATES WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLED A POTENTIAL POINT OF FAILURE THAT COULD MAKE YOUR TRANSACTIONS SECURE. AND THOSE ARE THE TYPES

OF EXCLUSIONARY AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE PRACTICE PRACTICES THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS HOPING TO END. >> SO, ALEXIS, WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR, IPHONE USERS? AND ON IPHONE USERS, REALLY, NOTHING IN THE SHORT AND POSSIBLY IN THE LONG TERM BECAUSE WE KEEP HEARING THIS IS GOING TO TAKE YEARS TO PLAY OUT IN THE COURTS.

>> AND WHEN YOU LOOK BACK TO THAT 1998 CASE AGAINST MICROSOFT, WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP, I’M GLAD YOU DID. INITIALLY, THE COURTS TOLD MICROSOFT THEY HAD A BREAK UP AND THEN WAS THAT WAS OVERRULED ON APPEAL. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE THIS COULD TURN OUT TO BE

APPLE NEEDING TO CHANGE NOTHING WITH ITS BUSINESS. IF IT DOES, MAYBE IN THE LONG TERM, WE’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SOUND LIKE I’LL BE ABLE TO SEND MY MOM A VIDEO BECAUSE SHE HAS AN ANDROID PHONE AND I HAVE AN IPHONE. YOU KNOW, APPLE IS SAYING IT

HAS TO DO THIS WITH ITS APP STORE. IT HAS TO BE CONTROLLING A THIRD PARTY DOWNLOAD APPS IN ITS APP STORE TO TAKE CARE, TO GET RID OF VIRUSES AND TO SORT OF PROTECT ITS OWN ECOSYSTEM. OBVIOUSLY, THE DOJ IS NOT BUYING INTO THAT. BRIAN, THE DOJ IS SAYING THIS

IS ALL A VIOLATION OF THE SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT. WHAT DOES ENTAIL BRINGING A CASE UNDER THAT ACT? >> YES. SO THE SHERMAN ACT HAS TWO COMPONENT TO IT, BOTH CIVIL AND CRIMINAL. BUT IT’S HARD. IT’S ABOUT RESTRAINING TRADE AND CREATING MONOPOLIES, WHETHER THAT BE FIXING OR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE

OTHER PEOPLE CANNOT INTEGRATE OR COMPETE WITH YOU, THUS ALLOWING YOU TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE OR THE MANEUVERABILITY OR THE TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE CONFINED AREA HERE, THAT BEING SMARTPHONES. >> WHAT I THINK IT’S BIG AND PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND IS THERE CAN BE A BIG PRICE TAG AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IF

APPLE LOSES SORRY TO THE POINT OF IF THEY LOSE IN A CIVIL STANDPOINT TWICE AS MUCH AS THEY GAINED COULD BE WHAT THE DOJ ASKED FOR IN TERMS OF DAMAGES FOR A FINE. IF WE’RE TALKING CRIMINAL, WE COULD BE POTENTIALLY TALKING YEARS IN PRISON. I’M KIND OF CONCERNED THAT THE

A.G., MERRICK GARLAND, DIDN’T SAY WHETHER THAT’S CRIMINAL OR CIVIL, BUT OF COURSE, WE’RE WAITING ON THAT ON THAT COMPLAINT, AND WE’LL SEE FROM THERE. >> ALL. >> ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS JACK DORSEY, BRIAN BUCKMIRE. THANK YOU ALL. >> WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THE DAY’S TOP STORIES.

STAY WITH US FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. THERE’S A LOT GOING ON YET ANOTHER AVALANCHE WARNING.

A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO. YOU START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. WELCOME BACK. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE WARNING PEOPLE AT GAZA’S LARGEST HOSPITAL TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY.

SAY THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE PLANS TO START BOMBING AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL COMPLEX. THE IDF CONDUCTED WHAT IT CALLS A DAYS LONG, HIGH PRECISION THERE. THE WARNING COMES AS SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN HOLDS TALKS ABOUT A POTENTIAL CEASE FIRE WITH OFFICIALS IN EGYPT. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN HAS

THE LATEST FROM TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. >> HI, MATT. DIANE SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN IS MAKING THE SWING THROUGH ASIA. HE’S SPOKEN WITH PRESIDENT AL-SISI. ONE OF THE TOPICS OF CONVERSATION IS, A POSSIBLE U.N. CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION THAT THEY’RE GOING TO PRESENT THE SECURITY COUNCIL. UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE PARAMETERS, BUT HE IS ALSO

GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT WHEN HE’S HERE, JERUSALEM TOMORROW. HE’S GOING TO BE MEETING WITH ISRAELI LEADERS AND THEN A TOP DELEGATION OF ISRAELI CABINET MINISTERS IS APPARENTLY SUPPOSED TO GO TO WASHINGTON EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT’S UNCLEAR IF THAT STILL GOING TO HAPPEN. WE KNOW THE DEFENSE MINISTER IS GOING TO BE THERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU’RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IS ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO THIS OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH, WAYS AIMED AT PROTECTING THE 1.4 OR 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS WHO SHELTERING IN THAT SMALL ENCLAVE AT THE VERY SOUTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP, MANY OF WHOM HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPLACED, AND MANY OF WHOM

ARE ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION OR BEYOND IT. ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE SHADOW OF ONE OF ISRAEL’S LONGEST AND, DEADLIEST RAIDS ON A HOSPITAL THAT’S AL-SHIFA. THEY WENT IN THERE NOVEMBER. THEY’RE BACK AGAIN NOW BECAUSE SENIOR IDF TELL ME THEY BELIEVE THAT HAMAS AND PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC SENIOR LEADERS HAD

REGROUPED INSIDE THE HOSPITAL. AND NOW IT’S ON ITS FOURTH DAY. THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF PEOPLE KILLED, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DETAINED. AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS STILL SORT OF STANDOFF AT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. ISRAEL SAYS ITS AID, INCLUDING FOOD AND WATER TO THE 2500 OR SO CIVILIANS THAT ARE TRAPPED

IN THE COMPLEX. BUT AT THIS POINT, IT IS COMPLETELY UNCLEAR HOW THIS IS GOING TO RESOLVED. >> THEY AND OUR CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, MATT GUTMAN IN ISRAEL, THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY DEFENSE ANALYST MICK MULROY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. NICK BLINKEN’S TRIP TO EGYPT

COMES AFTER HIS VISIT TO SAUDI ARABIA. WHAT IS HE HOPING TO GET OUT OF THESE TALKS TODAY? >> I THINK THERE’S A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. HE’S LOOKING FOR HOW TO GET TO A CEASEFIRE THAT’S ACCEPTABLE BOTH TO THE ISRAELIS AND HAMAS SO THAT CAN HAVE A PAUSE IN THE

FIGHTING AND HOPEFULLY GET HUMANITARIAN AID IN AND HOSTAGES OUT. BUT HE’S PROBABLY ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE DAY AFTER WHEN THIS CONFLICT COMES TO AN END, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD COLLECTIVELY AS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THIS DOESN’T BECOME AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF VIOLENCE? >> AND THAT’S LIKELY GOING

TO BE TALKING ABOUT A TWO STATE SOLUTION. >> AND A NEW U.N. REPORT SAYS FAMINE IS IMMINENT IN NORTHERN GAZA. I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN WORKING WITH A PRIVATE FIRM LOOKING TO COORDINATE INTERNATIONAL AID SHIPS TO GAZA. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT TODAY? >> AND OBVIOUSLY, THE BEST WAY

TO GET AID INTO GAZA IS EVERY WAY. SO AIR GROUND IN MARITIME, THE MARITIME CORRIDOR YOU’RE REFERRING TO. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AND THAT IS AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE ABILITY TO BE REALLY LARGE QUANTITIES HUMANITARIAN AID IN BECAUSE OF THESE LARGE SHIPS, THESE BARGES THAT WE CAN USE TO GET TO

CERTAIN AREAS IN NORTHERN GAZA WHERE, QUITE FRANKLY, TRUCKS GET RIGHT NOW. AND THAT’S WHY THEY’RE SO MUCH OF A CONCERN. >> THE FAMINE STARTING IN THE NORTHERN SECTION OF THE GAZA. SO ONCE THAT’S SET UP AND GOING, HOPEFULLY WILL BRING SO MUCH AID IN PER DAY THAT IT’LL DECOMPRESS

THE SITUATION AND PEOPLE WILL KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO GET FED AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO GET FED GOING FORWARD. AND YOU WON’T SEE SOME OF THE DESPERATE SCENES THAT YOU’VE SEEN WITH THE TRUCKS TRYING TO GET UP THERE. >> THAT’S THE INTENT. HOPEFULLY IT’LL START SOON

THE URGENT MANHUNT UNDERWAY FOR AN ESCAPED CONVICT. HIS ACCOMPLICE. POLICE ARE CHASING THEM AFTER AN AMBUSH AT AN IDAHO HOSPITAL LEFT. THREE OFFICERS SHOT. HOW THEY GOT AWAY AND WHAT WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE SUSPECTS. THE RACE TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. WHAT’S IN THE NEW BILL AND CAN

HOW HE’S ACCUSED OF STEALING MILLIONS FROM THE PITCHER PAY OFF GAMBLING DEBTS. BUT WE START WITH THE FBI INVESTIGATING THAT MAJOR AIRPORT SECURITY BREACH.

AGENTS SAY MAN WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO A DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHT IN UTAH AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY USED A PICTURE OF ANOTHER PASSENGER’S TICKET TO BOARD THE PLANE. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ HAS THE DETAILS. THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. THE FBI IS NOW INVESTIGATING BECAUSE THIS MAN ALLEGEDLY MADE

IT ALL THE WAY ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT THOSE TICKETS. NOW, HERE’S WHAT THE COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. THEY SAY THAT 26 YEAR OLD MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SUNDAY IN SALT LAKE CITY. TAKING PHOTOS OF MULTIPLE PASSENGERS PHONES AND BOARDING PASSES WHILE THEY WERE NOT LOOKING. HE THEN USED HIS PHONE AS A

BOARDING PASS TO GET ON THAT PLANE. NOW, ONCE ONBOARD, THEY SAY HE ENTERED THE LAVATORY UNTIL THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND THE PLANE BEGAN TO TAXI. A FLIGHT ATTENDANT APPROACHED AND REALIZED THE MAN DID NOT HAVE A TICKET OR SEAT. THE PLANE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND THE MAN WAS ARRESTED

AND CHARGED WITH STOWING AWAY ON AN AIRCRAFT. NOW, IT TURNS OUT THE MAN WAS BOOKED ON TWO STAND BY FLIGHTS ON SOUTHWEST, BUT BOTH WERE FULL. SO HE TRIED TO GET ON THE DELTA FLIGHT INSTEAD. HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HOME.

NOW, DELTA SAYS IT IS COOPERATING WITH THIS INVESTIGATION. AND WHILE IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAN MEANT NO HARM, OF COURSE, THIS A SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AND THIS WILL BE A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION. >> ALL RIGHT. ABC TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ, THANK. AND AN URGENT MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR AN ESCAPED

CONVICT AND AN ACCOMPLICE AFTER AN AMBUSH AT AN OHIO HOSPITAL. EXCUSE ME? AN IDAHO HOSPITAL. THE BOISE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE CONVICTED FELON WAS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL IN POLICE CUSTODY WHEN HIS ACCOMPLICE OPENED FIRE, INJURING OFFICERS ,PAVING THE WAY FOR THEIR ESCAPE.

AND CONGRESSIONAL ARE RACING TO PASS A BIPARTISAN FUNDING BILL TO AVERT A PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S DEADLINE. THE HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THE $1.2 TRILLION FUNDING PACKAGE TOMORROW, LEAVING THE SENATE LIMITED TIME. >> NBC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE. CATHERINE, WHAT ARE THE DETAILS

OF THIS BILL AND WILL LAWMAKERS ABLE TO MEET THIS TIGHT DEADLINE? >> WELL, LOOK, IT’S A GOOD QUESTION TO THIS POINT $2 TRILLION FUNDING BILL INCLUDES FUNDING FOR SIX BILLS. THAT INCLUDES DEFENSE, FINANCIAL SERVICES, HOMELAND SECURITY FOREIGN OPERATIONS. BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION OF WHETHER LAWMAKERS WILL BE

ABLE TO MEET THIS DEADLINE, WE EXPECT THERE WILL BE A VOTE ON THIS TOMORROW. IT HASN’T BEEN FORMALLY NOTICED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT THEN, OF COURSE, IT GOES TO THE SENATE AND FUNDING RUNS OUT AT MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY. THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY BE ABLE TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT

SHUTDOWN AND AT LEAST SEEMS AT THIS POINT THAT MAYBE THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF MINI SHUTDOWN INTO THE WEEKEND? USUALLY WHEN THAT’S HAPPENED BEFORE, IT HASN’T AFFECTED MAJOR OPERATIONS IN ANY WAY. BUT THAT’S THE BIG QUESTION. WHEN WILL THE HOUSE VOTE? AND THEN CAN THE SENATE WHEN

WILL THE SENATE VOTE ON THIS? THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THIS WILL PASS, THOUGH. WE DO EXPECT IT TO PASS IN BOTH CHAMBERS. NOW, OBVIOUSLY, COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN JAMES COLMER SAYS HE WILL INVITE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO TESTIFY ABOUT HIS ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN HIS FAMILY’S BUSINESS ENDEAVORS. THIS, OF COURSE, COMES AFTER

A CONTENTIOUS HEARING YESTERDAY IN THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. WHAT’S THE LATEST AND IS THERE ANY CHANCE THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY TESTIFIES HERE? >> I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL TESTIFY HERE. OF COURSE, THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS SAID THEY PLAN TO INVITE HIM, HAVE FORMALLY INVITED HIM.

BUT THIS IS REALLY HOUSE REPUBLICANS LONG SHOT ATTEMPT TO KEEP THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. WE KNOW WE’VE REPORTED THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, REPUBLICANS ARE REALLY THAT THEY DON’T THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. THE WHITE HOUSE HASN’T

SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I COULD PRETTY MUCH GUESS THAT I DON’T THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE SHOWING UP TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ANYTIME SOON. >> AND THE SENATE IS ALSO CONSIDERING THIS BILL ALREADY PASSED BY THE HOUSE THAT COULD BAN TIKTOK NATIONWIDE. SENATORS HELD THIS CLASSIFIED

BRIEFING YESTERDAY AND THEN WARNED THAT TIK TOK ENDANGERS MILLIONS OF USERS. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST THAT BILL AND WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM LAWMAKERS ABOUT IT? >> YOU KNOW, THERE DEFINITELY IS A SHARED SENSE IN THE HOUSE AND IN THE SENATE THAT TIK DOES POSE A MASSIVE SECURITY THREAT.

AND OF COURSE, THE HOUSE BILL, SOME SUBSTANTIVE BACKERS. ON THE SENATE SIDE, THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, RUBIO IN ADDITION TO THAT. BUT THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS, DOES SCHUMER PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR? THERE’S BEEN SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONG COMMITTEE CHAIRS. SO REALLY THE PROCESS IN THE SENATE, HOW DOES THIS MOVE FORWARD?

DOES IT COME TO THE FLOOR AT ALL FOR SCHUMER’S IN A BIT OF A DIFFICULT SITUATION HERE. SO WE JUST HAVE TO SEE, AGAIN PROCESS WISE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN THE SENATE DIANE. ALL RIGHT. SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. >> AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS ANNOUNCING A NEW ROUND

OF STUDENT DEBT RELIEF FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BORROWERS WHO WORK IN THE PUBLIC. THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY $6 BILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 FIREFIGHTERS, NURSES TEACHERS AND OTHERS ALREADY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS. ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG HAS. >> THE DETAILS.

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ANNOUNCING MORE STUDENT LOAN RELIEF IN ON A KEY CAMPAIGN PROMISE. THIS MORNING, THE PRESIDENT IS CANCELING NEARLY $6 BILLION IN STUDENT DEBT FOR 78,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS. THESE ARE TEACHERS, NURSES, FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM.

AND THEY’LL SOON BE GETTING AN EMAIL FROM THE PRESIDENT NOTIFYING THEM OF THIS RELIEF. NOW, WITH THIS LATEST MOVE, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS CANCELED A TOTAL OF $144 BILLION FOR NEARLY 4 MILLION AMERICANS. AND THEY SAY THAT NEARLY ANOTHER 400,000 PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS ARE ON TRACK TO.

HAVE THEIR LOANS FORGIVEN IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS? NOW, REMEMBER YEAR THE SUPREME COURT HAD STRUCK DOWN THE PRESIDENT’S ORIGINAL PLAN TO CANCEL $10,000 IN DEBT FOR ALL BORROWERS MAKING LESS THAN $125,000. BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS FOUND WAYS AROUND IT, FINDING OTHER WAYS TO CANCEL STUDENT DEBT. NOW, WITH THE GENERAL ELECTION

HEATING UP, THIS PRESIDENT IS EAGER TO SHOW THIS CORE GROUP OF VOTERS THAT HE GIVEN UP ON THIS ISSUE YET. THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING AGAIN VOWING TO USE ALL THE TOOLS HE CAN TO CANCEL MORE STUDENT DEBT FOR MORE BORROWERS. DIANE. SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG. THANK YOU.

AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING A MONDAY DEADLINE TO PAY A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND. NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES IS CHALLENGING HIS CLAIM THAT HE CAN’T SECURE THE BOND, URGING THE COURT TO IGNORE HIS REQUEST, LOWER THE AMOUNT. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY HAS THE LATEST.

>> NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES IS URGING APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT SECURING A BOND A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. HIS LAWYER SAID TRUMP IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING A BOND TO GUARANTEE HE CAN PAY IF LOSES HIS APPEAL OF A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLARS CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT.

THEY SAID MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN AND THEY ASKED FOR COURT PERMISSION TO POST A SMALLER BOND OR NOT AT ALL. >> THERE’S A DEADLINE IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF GUARANTEE BY MONDAY, JAMES CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE.

>> YOU’RE PREPARED TO HAVE STATE MOVED TO SEIZE TRUMP’S ASSETS. >> WE ARE PREPARED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE IS PAID TO NEW YORKERS. >> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BALKED ,ALLOWING TRUMP TO FORGO POSTING A FULL BOND. SHE SUGGESTED HE COULD TRY DIVIDING THE BOND AMOUNT AMONG MULTIPLE SURETIES OR EVEN

TURNING OVER HIS PROPERTIES FOR THE COURT TO HOLD AS COLLATERAL LIKE HIS GOLD PLATED PENTHOUSE IN TRUMP TOWER, WHICH HE SHOWED OFF TO BARBARASTATE OFFICIALS CT PADLOCK TRUMP TOWER OR THIS TRUMP BUILDING HERE ON WALL STREET, BUT THEY CAN TAKE LEGAL STEPS LIKE AND FORECLOSURES UNTIL THEY’RE SATISFIED

TRUMP CAN PAY, A JUDGE SAID HE OWES. >> DIANE, SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND A MAJOR NEW STORM IS ON THE MOVE MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE. ABC NEWS CHIEF METEOROLOGIST GINGER ZEE IS TRACKING THAT FOR US. >> GINGER, A LOT OF FOLKS

ARE SAYING, OH, MY GOODNESS, IT’S SO COLD. WELL, PROBABLY FEELS COLD BECAUSE WE STARTED THE MONTH OF MARCH FOR A LOT OF FOLKS. GREAT LAKES, NORTHEAST, EXTREMELY WARM. WE’RE ALSO HAVING THE WIND WITH THESE COLD TEMPS AND IT’S GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. BUT WINDCHILLS THIS MORNING,

WE’RE IN THE TEENS AND TWENTIES AND WE’LL SEE THAT AGAIN ON OUR FRIDAY. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SNOW OF IT, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SNOW SQUALLS, ESPECIALLY MOVING THROUGH VERMONT. PLACES LIKE BURLINGTON, THOUGH, IS THREE PLUS FEET BELOW AVERAGE FOR SNOW. SO MARCH BRINGING IN MAYBE

A LITTLE BIT TO TAKE CARE THAT DEFICIT, BECAUSE THAT’S NOT THE ONLY ONE. THAT’S STORM ONE. AND THEN WE’RE WATCHING THE SECOND STORM THAT WILL IMPACT THE TWIN CITIES, PARTS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS OVER INTO WISCONSIN. AND THAT’S FOR TOMORROW. SO IT COULD BE A REALLY ROUGH COMMUTE. MILWAUKEE, SAY MADISON,

>> WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. IT IS TIME NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY SEGMENT ASK ALEXIS WHERE BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS SHARES FINANCIAL ADVICE ON THE TOPICS THAT MATTER MOST TO YOU. AND TODAY SHE’S HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON FANTASY SPORTS TAXES, CREDIT CARDS AND MORE. I LIKE THIS.

I WANT TO START BY ASKING YOU ABOUT REDDIT SHARES TRADING ON THE STOCK MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. IT’S TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST TECH IPOS OF THE YEAR. SO HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THIS? >> IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL. AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT

OF ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM GOING PUBLIC. IT’S GOING TO START TRADING ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE TODAY UNDER THE SYMBOL ALREADY . IT IS PRICED AT $34 A SHARE. THAT’S AT THE HIGH OF EXPECTATIONS, WHICH GOES TO SHOW YOU ALL THE INTEREST IN REDDIT. AND IT’S VALUING THIS COMPANY

AT $6.4 BILLION. THIS IS THE BIGGEST TECH OR THE I SHOULD SAY, THE FIRST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TO GO PUBLIC A SINCE PINTEREST. >> AND THAT WAS BACK IN 2019, DIANE AND ALEXIS. SO OF COURSE I WANT TO GET TO THE VIEWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. PHIL FROM NEW YORK WRITES,

I HAVE A TIME CREDIT CARD I NEVER USED WITH AN INTEREST RATE OF 28%. >> SHOULD I JUST CLOSE THE ACCOUNT? WELL, THAT IS A THAT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATE, WHICH IS AT RECORD 21%. SO NOT MUCH BETTER. BUT IF YOU’RE NO LONGER

THE CARD, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE CLOSING THE ACCOUNT. AND HERE’S BECAUSE IT CAN WIND UP HURTING YOUR CREDIT SCORE. >> SO IF THE HAS NO ANNUAL FEE, YOU MAY WANT TO KEEP IT OPEN, ESPECIALLY IT’S A CARD YOU’VE HAD FOR A LONG TIME. >> CLOSING OLDER CREDIT CARDS

CAN SHORTEN YOUR CREDIT HISTORY AND EVEN YOUR PAYMENT HISTORY WITH THAT CARD WILL BE WIPED AWAY EVENTUALLY, WHICH CAN ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOUR SCORE. SO ANY UNUSED REWARDS POINTS WILL ALSO DISAPPEAR ONCE YOU CLOSE THAT ACCOUNT. >> AND CLOSING A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT ALSO REDUCES AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE CREDIT, WHICH CAN

HURT WHAT’S CALLED YOUR UTILIZATION RATIO. >> RIGHT. SO THIS GOAL HERE IS TO HAVE YOUR TOTAL CREDIT CARD BALANCES BE NO MORE THAN 30% OF YOUR TOTAL AVAILABLE CREDIT FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE CREDIT LIMIT ON ALL OF YOUR CARDS IS $10,000, YOUR OUTSTANDING CREDIT CARD DEBT SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 3000.

SO CLOSING A CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT LOWERS THAT TOTAL AVAILABLE CREDIT WHILE RAISING YOUR CREDIT UTILIZATION. >> SO INSTEAD OF CLOSING THAT ACCOUNT, USE IT MAYBE ONCE A YEAR JUST TO KEEP IT ACTIVE. YOU CAN CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD ISSUER, ASK ABOUT TRADING IT IN FOR A CARD WITH MORE

FAVORABLE TERMS, TRY TO AVOID CLOSING IF YOU CAN. GOOD TO KNOW. AND NICK FROM MARYLAND WANTS TO KNOW, DO I HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON FANTASY SPORTS WINNINGS? UNFORTUNATELY, YES. >> YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT ANY NET PROFITS FROM PLAYING FANTASY SPORTS ON YOUR TAX RETURN, JUST AS YOU WOULD ANY

CASH PRIZE OR GAMBLING WIN. IF IT’S A HOBBY, YOU CAN REPORT IT AS OTHER ON YOUR SCHEDULE ONE FOR FORM 1040. BUT IF YOU CAN THAT YOU PLAY FANTASY SPORTS REGULARLY AND AS A FOR ACTIVITY, YOU COULD ACTUALLY REPORT ANY NET PROFIT AS BUSINESS INCOME ON YOUR SCHEDULE.

SEE, YOU CAN THEN USE ANY LOSSES TO REDUCE YOUR OTHER TAXABLE INCOME. THE IRS MAY ALSO CONSIDER AN ACTIVITY SUCH AS FANTASY SPORTS TO BE A BUSINESS IF IT EARNS A PROFIT AT LEAST THREE OUT OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS. SO IT’S DEFINITELY AROUND A FOLK SHOULD, SHOULD EXPLORE. >> DAN ALL RIGHT.

ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS THANK YOU. AND IF YOU WANT TO ASK ALEXIS ANY PERSONAL FINANCE QUESTIONS, LEAVE MESSAGE ON OUR INSTAGRAM FEED AT ABC NEWS LIVE.

ABC NEWS LIVE. WELCOME BACK. ROAD SAFETY COULD SOON IMPROVE FOR WOMEN THANKS TO A CHANGE IN CRASH TEST DUMMIES. THE DUMMIES HAVE BEEN USED FOR DECADES BUT HAD NEVER BEEN DESIGNED TO REFLECT FEMALE BODIES, EVEN THOUGH WOMEN ARE 73% MORE LIKELY TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A CRASH THAN MEN. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION

CORRESPONDENT GIO BENITEZ. >> MORE. >> THESE ARE THE CRASH TESTS THAT SHAPE CAR SAFETY AMERICA. BUT THE DUMMIES INSIDE ARE BASED ON DESIGNS NEARLY FIVE DECADES OLD AND ARE LARGELY BUILT TO REFLECT THE MALE BODY. IN FACT, THE CURRENT FEMALE DUMMY IS ESSENTIALLY A SCALED DOWN MALE DUMMY.

MY SMALL INTESTINE IS RUPTURED . >> MARIA WESTON KOON AND HER FAMILY WERE IN A SERIOUS CRASH IN 2019 WHILE HER DAD AND BROTHER WALKED AWAY WITHOUT INJURY. SHE WAS HOSPITALIZED. SHE SAYS CARS ARE DESIGNED TO BE SAFER FOR MEN THAN FOR WOMEN BECAUSE THERE’S NO ACCURATE FEMALE DUMMY IN TESTING.

>> SHE’S NOW ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE. WHEN A SEATBELT IS DESIGNED TO STOP THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF SOMEONE’S BODY IN A CRASH, IT’S DESIGNED TO STOP THAT BY HITTING ON YOUR BONES, WHICH CAN ABSORB A GOOD AMOUNT OF FORCE. RIGHT. I DON’T HAVE THE MALE PELVIS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS DESIGNED FOR.

SO INSTEAD OF HITTING THAT BONE ,IT SLID UP AND HIT MY STOMACH. >> AND THAT’S HOW BURST OF INTESTINE. >> EXPERTS SAY IN GENERAL, FEMALES HAVE MUSCLE MASS THAN MEN. THEY TEND TO SIT CLOSER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEIR LEGS ARE OFTEN BENT AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE TO REACH THE PEDALS.

THERE DIFFERENT PELVIS SIZE COULD ALSO AFFECT THE FIT OF THE SEATBELT. ALL DIFFERENCES THAT CAN CHANGE HOW THEIR BODIES RESPOND IN A CRASH. >> THAT’S WHERE CHRIS O’CONNOR COMES IN. SO THERE’S SENSORS IN HERE THAT DIDN’T EXIST 40 YEARS AGO. >> HE’S THE CEO OF, HUMAN ETHICS, THE LARGEST CRASH TEST

DUMMY MANUFACTURER IN AMERICA. >> THE NEWEST CRASH TEST DUMMY IS DESIGNED AROUND THE INJURIES THAT A FEMALE WOULD EXPERIENCE THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN A MALE. SO YOU CAN DESIGN SAFER AGAINST THOSE INJURIES. >> O’CONNOR AND HIS TEAM ARE PUSHING GET THESE MORE ACCURATE FEMALE DUMMIES INTO GOVERNMENT TESTS NOW.

>> OUR GOAL AND OUR MISSION IS TO SAVE LIVES. AND WE DEVELOPED THIS TEST EQUIPMENT TO REPRESENT THE CURRENT INJURIES AND FATALITIES BEING EXPERIENCED. >> AND YET THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT GETTING TO THE MARKET FAST ENOUGH. I’M SURE, EVERYONE WHO IS WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW IS ASTOUNDED TO BELIEVE IN THE

YEAR 2024 THAT WE DO NOT USE A PHYSICAL. FEMALE CRASH TEST DUMMY BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR TO DETERMINE THE SAFETY OF WOMEN. >> POLLY ROTTENBERG IS THE DEPUTY TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY OVERSEEING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION. >> THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF VEHICLES, THERE’S NO QUESTION THAT THERE WAS

A DISPARITY BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE CRASH OUTCOMES. AS A DEPARTMENT, WE ARE OBVIOUSLY COMMITTED TO CLOSING THAT GAP. IN THE MOST RECENT VEHICLE YEARS, WE’VE SEEN GAP CLOSED, BUT I THINK NO ONE IS GOING TO REST UNTIL WE FULLY CLOSE GAP. >> A 20 23 GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT SLAMMED

NETZER FOR NOT HAVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS RISKS LIMITATIONS IN THE INFORMATION THE CURRENT DUMMIES PROVIDE. NETZER HAS ANNOUNCED IT’S BEEN WORKING WITH HUMAN X ON THAT NEW ADVANCE, MOST IMPORTANTLY, ANATOMICALLY CORRECT FEMALE DUMMY. THEY’RE ALREADY WITH IT MORE ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE IN TERMS OF ABDOMEN, UPPER CHEST, A MORE

SOPHISTICATED SET OF SENSORS. THIS IS A REAL UPGRADE. SO TO THE CRITICS WHO SAY THIS HAS TAKEN LONG, THERE’S TOO MUCH RED TAPE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. >> WHAT DO YOU SAY? YOU KNOW, TO SOME OF THOSE CRITICS, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURERS OF, THESE CRASH TEST DUMMIES, THERE’S

BEEN SOME BACK AND FORTH. THEY’VE GIVEN US MODELS THAT NEEDED WORK THAT WEREN’T DURABLE AND REPEATABLE AS WE NEED THEM TO BE. $1,000,000 A PIECE. HUMAN ETHICS BELIEVES THE NEWER DUMMIES ALREADY AND THAT’S A HOPED THEY COULD BE APPROVED BY THE FORCE. THIS IS ABOUT OUR MOTHERS AND ABOUT OUR DAUGHTERS

AND ABOUT OUR SISTERS. >> EVERY WOMAN GETTING IN A CAR IS AT MORE RISK THAN A MAN. IN THE FALL, IT MAY STILL TAKEY FOUR OR FIVE YEARS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY SEE THEM IN MANDATED CRASH TESTS. THAT’S BECAUSE THE CAR COMPANIES NEED SOME TIME TO SORT IT ALL OUT. >> DIANE TRANSPORTATION

>> I’M ROB MARCIANO IN TAMPA REPORTING ON HURRICANE ADELPHIA. WHEREVER THE WEATHER MAY TAKE, WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE LIVE. >> STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE. I’M TO SAY SO. LET’S GET RIGHT TO OUR TOP STORY. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS APPLE HAS CREATED AN ILLEGAL MONOPOLY BY CORNERING THE SMARTPHONE MARKET.

EARLIER TODAY, GENERAL JERRY EXCUSE ME, ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND SAID APPLE HAS MAINTAINED ITS POWER IN THE SMARTPHONE INDUSTRY NOT BY ITS INNOVATIONS, BUT BY VIOLATING ANTITRUST LAWS. >> AS ANY IPHONE USER HAS EVER SEEN A GREEN TEXT MESSAGE OR RECEIVED A TINY GRAINY VIDEO CAN ATTEST APPLE KNOWINGLY AND DELIBERATELY DEGRADES

QUALITY PRIVACY AND SECURITY FOR ITS USERS. >> LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS JUSTICE AND HOMELAND SECURITY REPORTER JACK DART, ABC NEWS LEGAL CONTRIBUTOR BRIAN BUCKMIRE AND ABC NEWS BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS FIRST FOR MORE. JACK, THIS COMES AFTER A YEARS LONG INVESTOR ACTION AND THE SUIT IS NOW ALLEGING THAT APPLE

CREATED THIS MONOPOLY, THE SMARTPHONE MARKET, BY BLOCKING ITS COMPETITORS FROM ACCESSING CERTAIN CERTAIN FEATURES. >> SO WHAT STICKS OUT TO YOU FROM THIS AND HOW SIGNIFICANT IS IT? >> WELL, I THINK IT’S HUGELY SIGNIFICANT. APPLE, OF COURSE, IS A TECH COLOSSUS. APPLE SUCH A HUGE STRANGLEHOLD ,THE IPHONE OF THE CELL PHONE

MARKET. 70% OF SMARTPHONES ARE APPLE PHONES. >> AND THAT’S OKAY IF. THOSE ARE DONE. THOSE SALES ARE DONE BY MERIT. MEANING IF BY MERIT ALONE THEY’RE ABLE TO SELL AND DOMINATE THE MARKET. HOWEVER, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ALLEGES THEY DID IT BY VIOLATING THE LAW THROUGH NONCOMPETITIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY PRACTICES.

AND AS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID, THERE’S A LAW FOR THAT. AND SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT COSTS CONSUMERS MORE. >> THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ALLEGES BECAUSE OF THEIR EXCLUSIONARY PRACTICES, IT POTENTIALLY MAKES THEIR DEVICES AND THEIR PRACTICES AND THE THINGS THAT THEY DO ON THEIR PHONE, SUCH AS TRANSACTIONS, FINANCIAL, USING THE APPLE

WALLET, THINGS LIKE THAT MIGHT BE LESS SECURE. THEY CREATE NEW POINTS OF FAILURE. AND SO FOR CONSUMERS. THEY SAY THEY’RE TRYING TO PROTECT THEM FROM HIGHER COSTS AND LESS SECURITY. APPLE FOR ITS PART, MAINTAINS THAT IT’S GOING TO VIGOROUSLY FIGHT THIS AND THAT THEIR PRODUCTS PROVIDE A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

THAT SEAMLESS AND MORE SECURE. AND SO EXPECT A FIGHT. AS YOU SAID, IT TOOK IT’S YEARS IN THE MAKING. IT’S GOING TO TAKE YEARS TO RESOLVE THIS, I WOULD EXPECT. >>ND, ALEXIS, THIS ALL STARTED WITH THE MAKER FORTNITE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE. CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH

HOW STARTED THIS ALL AND HOW WE GOT HERE? RIGHT. SO THAT’S EPIC GAMES AND TOO TOOK YEARS TO COME TO PASS. THEY HAD INITIALLY BROUGHT THAT SUIT AGAINST APPLE IN 2020 AND IT WAS RESOLVED JUST RECENTLY. SOME SAY APPLE ACTUALLY KIND OF WON IN THE END BECAUSE

WHAT IT WHAT IT GAVE INTO WASN’T A WHOLE LOT AND EVEN THE CEO OF EPIC SAYS THERE IS MORE TO BE DONE HERE AND IN FACT EPIC IS BRINGING THE LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE NOW IN AUSTRALIA THE SAME REASONS BUT WHAT APPLE NOW NEEDS TO DO AS A RESULT OF THAT CASE

IS ALLOW APP MAKERS SELLING TO U.S. CUSTOMERS TO ADD LINKS AND BUTTONS INSIDE THEIR APPS THAT BRING USERS THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM TO A WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN INPUT CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IN THE PAST. YOU WEREN’T ABLE TO DO AND YOU KNOW THESE APP DEVELOPERS HAD TO USE APPLE’S BILLING SYSTEM.

I GUESS THE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE THINK APPLE REALLY WON HERE IS BECAUSE THEY CAN STILL COLLECT A COMMISSION FROM APPS THAT HANDLE THEIR OWN BILLING. SO EITHER WAY YOU SLICE IT. APPLE IS STILL GETTING A CUT OR COMMISSION, IF YOU WILL, FROM ALL OF THAT. BRIAN APPLE SAYING THAT THIS

LAWSUIT WOULD HINDER ITS ABILITY TO CREATE THE KIND OF TECH THAT PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING FROM THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY’RE SAYING IT SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT IN TERMS OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN, DESIGNING TECHNOLOGY. >> HOW STRONG IS THAT ARGUMENT? SO I LOOK THOSE KIND OF TWO ARGUMENTS THERE, AND I THINK

IN BOTH OF THEM, DEPENDING ON THE TECHNOLOGY, THOSE CAN BE STRONG ARGUMENTS. NOW, THE SHERMAN ACT, WHICH THEY’RE BEING SUED UNDER, DOESN’T RESTRAIN, PROHIBIT ALL FORMS OF TRADE. ALL THOSE FORMS ARE UNREASONABLE. SO YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER TYPES OF BIG NAME MONOPOLY CASES OR SOME CASES, WE HAVE THE AT&T

CASE THAT TALKS ABOUT REGIONAL NETWORKS BEING CREATED. THE MICROSOFT. SHERMAN THAT CASE, I TALKED ABOUT INTERNET BROWSERS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS. >> I THINK WHAT APPLE IS DOING HERE IS SAYING THE WAY THAT WE CAN BE COMPETITIVE IN A WAY THAT CAN PUT OUT A GREAT PRODUCT WHICH IS REASONABLE FOR

ANY KIND OF A CORPORATION, IS TO DO THE TECHNIQUES AND THE OPERATIONS THAT WE ARE DOING BASED ON TECHNOLOGY THAT WE HAVE. IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE. AND THEN THE OTHER ASPECT, JUST THINKING FROM A POLICY STANDPOINT, AS WE GROW IN DIFFERENT TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY AND DIFFERENT AREAS, WE SHOULDN’T HAVE THE

GOVERNMENT BEING HEAVY HANDED AND COMING IN AND TELLING US WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO BECAUSE WE ARE THE EXPERTS. >> NOT THAT. SO, JACK, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT HERE. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROTRACTED. >> IT HAS ALL THE MAKINGS OF A PROTRACTED LEGAL FIGHT.

SO FOR CONSUMERS, WE MIGHT NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES ANYTIME SOON. AGAIN, APPLE’S GOING TO VIGOROUSLY CONTEST THIS. THEY SAY THEIR PRACTICES HELP THEIR PRODUCTS BE MORE SECURE AND MORE SAFE FOR CONSUMERS. AND SO THE GOVERNMENT’S GOING TO HAVE A BIG FIGHT, ITS HANDS AND A WELL-FUNDED ONE AT THAT. >> ALL RIGHT,

JACK ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS, BRIAN BUCKMIRE, THANK YOU ALL. AND DOCTORS AT MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL ARE CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL FIRST OF ITS KIND KIDNEY TRANSPLANT. THEY SAY THE WORLD’S FIRST GENETICALLY EDITED PIG KIDNEY HAS BEEN TRANSPLANTED. A 62 YEAR OLD MAN LIVING WITH END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE. THE PATIENT IS NOW REPORTED

TO BE RECOVERING AT MASS GENERAL AND IS EXPECTED TO BE DISCHARGED SOON. THE PROCEDURE COULD MARK A MILESTONE AS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO THE WORLDWIDE ORGAN SHORTAGE. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NETWORK FOR ORGAN SHARING, MORE THAN 100,000 PEOPLE IN THE U.S. ARE WAITING FOR AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT AND 17 PEOPLE DIE

EACH DAY WAITING FOR ORGAN. AND THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING AFTER A MAJOR SECURITY BREACH. AGENTS SAY A MAN WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO A DELTA AIRLINES FLIGHT IN UTAH AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY USED A PICTURE OF ANOTHER PASSENGER’S TICKET TO BOARD THE PLANE. ABC’S TRANSPORTATION CORRESPOND GIO BENITEZ HAS THE DETAILS.

>> THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. THE FBI IS NOW INVESTIGATING BECAUSE, AGAIN, THIS MAN ALLEGEDLY MADE IT ALL WAY ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT THOSE TICKETS. NOW, HERE’S COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. THEY SAY THAT THE 26-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SUNDAY IN SALT LAKE CITY TAKING PHOTOS OF MULTIPLE PASSENGERS PHONES

AND BOARDING PASSES WHILE THEY WERE NOT LOOKING. HE THEN USED HIS PHONE, A BOARDING PASS TO GET ON THAT PLANE. NOW, ONCE ONBOARD, THEY SAY, ENTERED THE LAVATORY UNTIL THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND THE PLANE BEGAN TO TAXI. A FLIGHT ATTENDANT APPROACHED HIM AND REALIZED THE MAN DID

NOT HAVE A TICKET OR SEAT. THE PLANE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND THE MAN WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH STOWING ON AN AIRCRAFT. NOW IT TURNS OUT THE MAN WAS BOOKED ON TUESDAY BY FLIGHTS ON SOUTHWEST, BUT BOTH WERE FULL, SO HE TRIED TO ON THE DELTA FLIGHT INSTEAD.

HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET HOME. NOW, DELTA SAYS IT IS COOPERATING WITH THIS INVESTIGATION. AND WHILE IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAN MEANT NO HARM, OF COURSE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AND THIS WILL BE A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION. >> DIANE ABC’S TRANSPORTATION

CORRESPONDENT, GIO, THANK YOU. AND PROSECUTORS IN NEW YORK SAY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S REQUEST FOR A LENGTHY DELAY IN HIS CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL IS A, QUOTE, RED HERRING. TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS DEMANDED A MONTH LONG DELAY. THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE IN A NEW COURT FILING SAY THE TENS OF THOUSANDS

OF PAGES RECENTLY TURNED OVER BY THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE DO NOT CONTAIN THAT MUCH NEW INFORMATION AND SHOULDN’T TAKE THAT LONG TO REVIEW. MEANWHILE, IN THE NEW YORK CIVIL FRAUD CASE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON THEIR CLAIM THAT TRUMP UNABLE TO SECURE A NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR BOND.

THEY SAY NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES SUGGESTION THAT HE SECURE SEVERAL SMALLER BONDS OR HAND OVER PROPERTY TO THE COURT IS, QUOTE, UNCONSTITUTIONALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, RATHER, AND UNJUST. SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT HAS THE LATEST ON NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES IS URGING AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT SECURING

THE BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY. HIS LAWYER SAID, TRUMP, IS FACING INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES IN OBTAINING A BOND TO GUARANTEE HE CAN PAY IF HE LOSES HIS APPEAL OF A NEARLY BILLION DOLLAR CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. THEY SAID MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN AND THEY ASKED FOR COURT PERMISSION TO POST

A SMALLER BOND OR NONE AT ALL. THERE’S A CRITICAL DEADLINE IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY JAMES, CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEIZE REAL ESTATE. >> YOU’RE PREPARED TO HAVE THE STATE MOVE TO SEIZE TRUMP’S ASSETS. ARE PREPARED TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE JUDGMENT IS PAID TO NEW YORKERS. >> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BALKED AT ALLOWING TRUMP TO FORGO POSTING A FULL BOND. SHE SUGGESTED HE COULD TRY DIVIDING THE BOND AMOUNT AMONG MULTIPLE SURETIES OR EVEN TURNING OVER HIS PROPERTIES FOR THE COURT TO HOLD AS COLLATERAL LIKE HIS GOLD PLATED PENTHOUSE

IN TRUMP TOWER, WHICH HE SHOWED OFF TO BARBARA WALTERS IN 2015. >> I LOOK AROUND AND THERE’S A LOT I THINK THEY’RE GOING PRETTY WELL. >> STATE OFFICIALS CAN’T JUST PADLOCK TRUMP TOWER OR THIS TRUMP BUILDING HERE ON WALL STREET, BUT THEY CAN LEGAL STEPS LIKE LEAVES AND FORECLOSURES UNTIL

THEY’RE SATISFIED TRUMP CAN PAY WHAT A JUDGE SAID HE OWES. DIANE SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ARE RACING TO PASS A BIPARTISAN FUNDING BILL TO AVERT A PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S DEADLINE. THE HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO VOTE ON THE $1.2 TRILLION FUNDING PACKAGE TOMORROW, LEAVING

THE SENATE LIMITED TIME. NBC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS ME NOW FOR MORE. KEVIN, WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THIS BILL AND WILL LAWMAKERS BE ABLE TO MEET THIS TIGHT DEADLINE? >> WELL, LOOK, IT’S A GOOD QUESTION TO THIS $1.2 TRILLION FUNDING BILL INCLUDES FUNDING FOR SIX BILLS. THAT INCLUDES DEFENSE,

FINANCIAL SERVICES, HOMELAND SECURITY, FOREIGN OPERATIONS. BUT IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION OF WHETHER LAWMAKERS BE ABLE TO MEET THIS DEADLINE, WE EXPECT THERE WILL BE A VOTE ON TOMORROW. IT HASN’T BEEN FORMALLY NOTICED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT THEN, OF COURSE, IT GOES OVER TO THE SENATE AND FUNDING

RUNS OUT AT MIDNIGHT ON FRIDAY. SO THE QUESTION IS, WILL THEY BE ABLE TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? AT LEAST IT SEEMS THIS POINT, THAT MAYBE THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF MINI SHUTDOWN INTO THE WEEKEND. USUALLY WHEN THAT’S HAPPENED BEFORE, IT HASN’T AFFECTED MAJOR OPERATIONS IN ANY WAY.

BUT THAT’S THE BIG QUESTION. WHEN WILL THE HOUSE VOTE? AND THEN CAN THE SENATE. WHEN WILL THE SENATE VOTE ON THIS? THERE’S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THIS WILL, THOUGH. WE DO EXPECT IT TO PASS IN BOTH CHAMBERS. THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, JAMES COLMER, SAYS HE WILL INVITE PRESIDENT BIDEN

TO TESTIFY ABOUT HIS ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT IN HIS FAMILY’S BUSINESS ENDEAVORS. THIS, OF COURSE, COMES AFTER A CONTENTIOUS HEARING YESTERDAY IN HIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. WHAT’S THE LATEST? AND IS THERE ANY CHANCE THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY TESTIFIES HERE? I DON’T THINK THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL TESTIFY HERE.

OF COURSE, THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS SAID THAT THEY PLAN TO INVITE HIM, THAT FORMALLY INVITED HIM. BUT THIS IS REALLY HOUSE REPUBLICANS LONG SHOT ATTEMPT TO KEEP THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY ALIVE. WE KNOW AND WE’VE REPORTED THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, REPUBLICANS ARE REALLY SAYING THAT THEY DON’T THINK THAT IS

GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO WE’LL HAVE TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. THE WHITE HOUSE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I COULD PRETTY MUCH GUESS THAT I DON’T . PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE SHOWING UP TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ANY TIME SOON.

>> AND THE SENATE IS ALSO CONSIDERING THIS BILL ALREADY PASSED BY THE HOUSE THAT COULD BAN TIKTOK NATIONWIDE. SENATORS HELD, THIS CLASSIFIED BRIEFING YESTERDAY AND THEN WARNED THAT TICK TOCK ENDANGERS MILLIONS OF USERS. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT BILL AND WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM LAWMAKERS ABOUT IT?

>> YOU KNOW, THERE DEFINITELY IS A SHARED SENSE IN THE HOUSE SAYING IN THE SENATE THAT TICK TOCK DOES POSE A MASSIVE SECURITY THREAT. AND OF COURSE, THE HOUSE BILL HAS SOME SUBSTANTIVE. ON THE SENATE SIDE, THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, MARK WARNER, RUBIO IN ADDITION TO THAT.

BUT THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS, DOES SCHUMER PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR? THERE’S BEEN SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONG COMMITTEE CHAIRS. SO REALLY THE PROCESS IN THE SENATE, HOW DOES THIS FORWARD? DOES IT COME TO THE FLOOR AT ALL FOR THE SCHUMER’S? A BIT OF A DIFFICULT SITUATION HERE.

SO WE JUST HAVE TO SEE, AGAIN, PROCESS WISE, HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN THE SENATE DIANE. ALL RIGHT. SENIOR REPORTER KATHERINE FAULDERS, THANK YOU. ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE WARNING PEOPLE SHELTERING AT GAZA’S LARGEST HOSPITAL TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. THEY SAY THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE PLANS TO START BOMBING AL-SHIFA

HOSPITAL COMPLEX AFTER THE IDF CONDUCTED WHAT IT CALLS A DAYS LONG, HIGH PRECISION RAID THERE. THE WARNING COMES AS SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN HOLDS TALKS ABOUT A POTENTIAL CEASE FIRE WITH OFFICIALS IN EGYPT. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT GUTMAN HAS THE LATEST FROM TEL AVIV, ISRAEL. HI, MATT. DIANE OF STATE BLINKEN

IS MAKING THE SWING THROUGH ASIA. HE’S SPOKEN WITH EGYPT’S PRESIDENT AL-SISI. ONE OF THE TOPICS OF CONVERSATION IS, A POSSIBLE U.N. CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION THAT THEY’RE GOING TO PRESENT THE SECURITY COUNCIL. UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE PARAMETERS ARE, BUT HE IS ALSO GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT WHEN HE’S HERE IN JERUSALEM TOMORROW.

HE’S GOING TO BE MEETING WITH ISRAELI LEADERS AND THEN A TOP DELEGATION OF ISRAELI CABINET IS APPARENTLY SUPPOSED TO GO TO WASHINGTON EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT’S UNCLEAR IF THAT IS STILL GOING TO HAPPEN. WE KNOW THE DEFENSE MINISTER IS GOING BE THERE. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU’RE GOING

TO HEAR ABOUT IS ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES, THIS OFFENSIVE IN ROCKAWAYS, WAYS AIMED AT PROTECTING THE 1.4, 1.5 MILLION PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS WHO ARE SHELTERING IN THAT SMALL ENCLAVE AT THE VERY SOUTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP, MANY OF WHOM HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISPLACED AND MANY OF WHOM ARE ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION OR

BEYOND IT. NOW, ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE SHADOW OF ONE OF ISRAEL’S LONGEST, DEADLIEST RAIDS ON A HOSPITAL BACK TO AL-SHIFA. THEY WENT IN THERE IN NOVEMBER. THEY’RE BACK AGAIN NOW BECAUSE A SENIOR IDF OFFICIALS TELL ME THEY BELIEVE THAT HAMAS AND PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC SENIOR LEADERS HAD REGROUPED INSIDE

THE HOSPITAL. NOW IT’S ON ITS FOURTH DAY. THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF PEOPLE KILLED, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DETAINED. AND APPARENTLY THERE IS STILL SOME SORT OF STANDOFF. AT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, ISRAEL SAYS IT’S OFFERING AID, INCLUDING FOOD AND WATER, TO THE 2500 OR SO CIVILIANS THAT ARE TRAPPED IN THE COMPLEX

. BUT AT THIS POINT, IT IS COMPLETELY UNCLEAR HOW THIS IS GOING BE RESOLVED DAN? ALL RIGHT. CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT MATT GUTMAN IN, ISRAEL, THANK YOU. AND ABC NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY DEFENSE ANALYST MICK MULROY JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. MICK BLINKEN’S TRIP TO EGYPT COMES AFTER HIS VISIT TO SAUDI ARABIA.

WHAT IS HE HOPING TO GET OUT OF THESE TALKS TODAY? >> I THINK THERE’S A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. HE’S LOOKING FOR HOW TO GET TO A CEASEFIRE THAT’S ACCEPTABLE BOTH TO THE ISRAELIS AND HAMAS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A PAUSE IN THE FIGHTING AND HOPEFULLY GET HUMANITY AND AID IN AND

HOSTAGES OUT. BUT HE’S PROBABLY ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE DAY AFTER WHEN THIS CONFLICT COMES TO AN END, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD COLLECTIVELY, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, TO ENSURE THAT THIS DOESN’T BECOME AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF VIOLENCE? >> AND THAT’S LIKELY GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT A TWO STATE

SOLUTION. AND A NEW U.N. REPORT SAYS FAMINE IS IMMINENT IN NORTHERN . I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN WORKING WITH A PRIVATE U.S. FIRM LOOKING TO COORDINATE INTERNATIONAL AID SHIPS TO GAZA. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT TODAY? AND OBVIOUSLY, THE BEST WAY TO AID INTO GAZA IS EVERY WAY.

SO AIR GROUND IN MARITIME, THE MARITIME BORDER YOU’RE REFERRING TO. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AND THAT IS THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE ABILITY TO BE REALLY LARGE QUANTITIES OF HUMANITARIAN AID IN BECAUSE OF THESE LARGE SHIPS, THESE BARGES THAT WE CAN USE TO GET TO CERTAIN AREAS IN NORTHERN GAZA WHERE, QUITE

FRANKLY, TRUCKS CAN’T GET RIGHT NOW. AND THAT’S WHY THEY’RE SO MUCH OF A CONCERN OF THE FAMINE IN IN THE NORTHERN SECTION OF THE GAZA STRIP. >> SO ONCE THAT SET UP AND GOING HOPEFULLY WILL BRING SO MUCH AID IN PER DAY THAT IT’LL DECOMPRESS THE SITUATION AND PEOPLE KNOW

THAT THEY’RE GOING TO GET BETTER AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO GET FED GOING FORWARD. AND YOU WON’T SEE SOME OF THE DESPERATE SCENES THAT YOU’VE SEEN THE TRUCKS TRYING TO GET UP THERE. >> THAT’S THE INTENT. HOPEFULLY IT’LL START SOON AND WE’LL GET SOME RELIEF TO PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED IT.

>> ALL RIGHT. ABC NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEFENSE ANALYST MICK MULROY, THANK YOU. >> COMING UP, A POPULAR BEAUTY INFLUENCER DIES AT AGE 36 AFTER A MISDIAGNOSIS. HOW HER DEATH IS NOW SPREADING AWARENESS ABOUT KEEPING UP WITH SCREENINGS. ALSO AHEAD, MARCH MADNESS IS UNDERWAY. HOW TO GET AWAY WITH WATCHING.

YOU’RE AT WORK. I HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT. THEY’RE EXPECTING US. IT’S OUR SECRET, WHAT WE HAVE. DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE SAFE? I DON’T KNOW THIS IS ONE INSIDE OUT, AND THIS ONCE IS CAMOUFLAGE. THESE ARE ASSASSINATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE MURDER.

THERE’S REALLY NO TELLING WHAT SOME OF THEM WILL DO. I DON’T THAT IT’S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE IN ANYWHERE. WOW. >> WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE? FROM ABC NEWS? THIS IS “START HERE”. TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE TOP STORIES.

A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET’S GET INTO IT. LISTEN TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOUR EDWARD R. MURROW AWARDS AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW THAT’S THE PART OF THE

STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING. WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. >> THE INTERNET CAN BE A SCARY PLACE TO. HIDE MY NAME, MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, MY ADDRESS, AND NAMES, HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? WHY DID YOU DECIDE? GET MARRIED? I LOVE IT.

IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY SCARY. IS BOLDFACED LIE TO ME AND MADE UP A HORROR STORY. >> DYLAN, THERE IS THIS PERSON ACTUALLY WHO THEY SAY ARE. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN’T GET PLAYED, JUST WATCH THIS. HOW I PLAYED. THIS IS “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE” NOW STREAMING ON HULU.

WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. FIRST FANS ARE REMEMBERING FASHION AND BEAUTY INFLUENCER JESSICA PETTWAY, WHO DIED AT 36 YEARS OLD AFTER PUBLICLY SHARING HER BATTLE WITH CERVICAL CANCER. PETTWAY SHARED THAT HER SYMPTOMS HAD STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR, HER DIAGNOSIS, AND THAT SHE WAS PREVIOUSLY MISDIAGNOSED . A UTERINE FIBROID GYNECOLOGIST

AND WOMEN’S HEALTH EXPERT, DR. JESSICA SHEPHERD JOINS ME NOW FOR MORE ON THIS. DR. SHEPHERD. SHEPHERD, YOU POSTED ON INSTAGRAM THAT PETTWAY PASSED FROM SOMETHING THAT’S PREVENT A BALL. I KNOW YOU DIDN’T TREAT, JESSICA, BUT AS A MEDICAL PROVIDER, WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO HEARING THIS STORY?

>> YOU KNOW, AS A BLACK WOMAN, A PHYSICIAN AND JULIANNE, THIS WAS DEVASTATING NEWS TO HEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FOUND OUT WHAT THE ACTUAL CAUSE WAS, WHICH IS CERVICAL CANCER, BECAUSE THAT IS TRIED AND TRUE TO WHAT DO WHEN WE SEE WOMEN IS TRYING TO PREVENT CERVICAL

CANCER WITH THE USE OF THE PAP TEST NOW. >> SO SHE WAS PREVIOUSLY MISDIAGNOSED WITH A FIBROID. SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THESE TWO CONDITIONS AND HOW CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE? >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH I WASN’T PART OF HER CARE,

WHAT I DO KNOW FROM SOME OF THE STORY THAT WAS TOLD IS THAT THERE WAS A BLEEDING PORTION OF HER PROFILE THAT MANIFESTED AND BECAUSE OF HER HISTORY OF FIBROIDS, THAT’S WHAT WAS PAID ATTENTION TO, IS THAT FIBROIDS MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSING THE BLEEDING AND AMOUNT OF BLEEDING NEEDED TO BE STOPPED.

AND THAT’S WHERE THE CARE AT THAT TIME, FROM WHAT I KNOW WAS FOCUSED ON WAS THE BLEEDING. NOW, CERVICAL CANCER IN RELATION TO THAT, THAT’S WHY WE SCREEN SO MUCH FOR CERVICAL CANCER THROUGH THE PAP TEST IS BECAUSE USUALLY IT’S A SILENT CAUSE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS.

NOW WHEN THEY DIAGNOSE HER WITH CERVICAL CANCER, SHE WAS VERY PROGRESSED IN CERVICAL CANCER TO A STAGE OF THREE C AND SO AT THAT POINT WAS KNOWN THAT THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE BLEEDING WASN’T ACTUALLY VERY INVASIVE FORM OF CERVICAL CANCER IN WHICH THE FINAL SYMPTOM BLEEDING. >> THAT COMPARED TO MEMBERS

OF OTHER RACES BLACK PEOPLE HAVE HIGHER RATES OF GETTING AND DYING FROM MANY KINDS OF CANCER. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK BLACK PEOPLE AND SPECIFICALLY BLACK WOMEN TO BE AWARE OF WHEN IT COMES TO INCREASED RISK? >> YOU KNOW, WITH CERVICAL CANCER, THIS IS TYPICALLY A CANCER THAT WE SEE YOUNGER

WOMEN COMPARED TO SOME OF THE OTHER REPRODUCTIVE CANCERS ARE TYPICALLY IN OLDER WOMEN, IS THAT THIS IS WHY WE START SCREENING SO EARLY. BUT GOING BACK TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT DISPARITIES IS THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME DISPARITIES IN SCREENING AND WE DO HAVE LONG TIME RACIAL AND ETHNIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC

DISPARITIES THAT ARE IMPACTING THE RATES THAT ARE BEING SEEN IN BLACK AND HISPANIC WOMEN. AND BLACK WOMEN ARE TWO TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM CERVICAL THAN WHITE WOMEN. SO CLEARLY, THERE IS A DISPARITY HERE, BUT A LOT THAT IS DUE TO, AGAIN, LACK OF SCREENING, BEING ABLE

HAVE THE RESOURCES AND ACCESS TO THE CARE THAT’S NEEDED FOR NOT PAP TESTING, BUT THE FOLLOW UP THAT’S NEEDED. IF THERE’S ANY ABNORMAL TEST RESULTS. >> AND WE DON’T KNOW IF PETTWAY WAS VACCINATED IN VACCINATED AGAINST HPV, BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HPV VACCINE IN REDUCING THE RISK

OF CERVICAL CANCER? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM HER STORY? >> YEAH, I THINK THAT’S SUCH AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. AND GOING TO THE HPV ONE, SHE WAS KIND BACKTRACKING THAT INTO WHAT IS HPV BUT HPV, THE VIRUS THAT IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CERVICAL CANCER AND SOMEONE

WE KNOW THAT THAT’S THE LEADING CAUSE OF CERVICAL CANCER. OUR GOAL TO SCREEN FOR IT, BUT ALSO TO VACCINATE FOR IT. AND THE REASON WHY VACCINATION IS IMPORTANT IS THAT BECAUSE IT PROTECTS YOU AGAINST THE HIGH, THE CAUSES OF HPV THAT ARE MOST LIKELY CAUSE CERVICAL CANCER.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO PUSH AWAY THOSE AND VARIANTS OF HPV THAT ARE LIKELY GOING TO CAUSE CERVICAL CANCER. NOW, GLOBALLY, ACTUALLY, ONE WOMAN DIES IN CERVICAL CANCER EVERY 2 MINUTES. >> SO WHEN HAVE AGAIN, A PREVENTABLE CAUSE OR WE HAVE WAYS TO PREVENT CERVICAL CANCER IN DEATH FROM CERVICAL CANCER.

AND THIS IS WHY IS SO VERY IMPORTANT AND IT’S IMPORTANT FOR US TO INCREASE THAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DISEASE AND HOW WE CAN USE THE RESOURCES TO PREVENT AND SCREEN FOR CERVICAL CANCER. >> SO IF YOU ARE TRYING STAY AHEAD OF THIS, WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

OF THE FACT IT IS PREVENTABLE, AS YOU SAY? >> YES, THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT ALL LOVE TO ANSWER IS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH DOCTOR. GO FOR YOUR ANNUAL WELL WOMAN VISIT, WHICH IS GOING TO YOUR PAP TESTS AND HPV TESTING AND BE VIGILANT INTO BEST SELF

ADVOCATE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH. >> I GYNECOLOGISTS WOMEN’S EXPERT, DR. JESSICA SHEPHERD. DR. SHEPHERD, THANK YOU.

WELCOME BACK TO ABC NEWS LIVE. THANKS FOR STREAMING WITH US. YOU’RE LOOKING AT KAZAKHSTAN ON THIS THURSDAY WHERE A SPACECRAFT SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH AN AMERICAN TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION WAS SCRUBBED JUST SECONDS BEFORE LIFTOFF. NO WORD YET ON CAUSED THE SCRUB OR WHEN IT WILL MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT.

THEY ALSO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER NEWS TO GET TO. HERE’S THE RUNDOWN RIGHT NOW. MILLIONS ARE BRACING FOR SNOW AND HEAVY RAIN FROM MINNESOTA TO MAINE. THIS AFTER SNOW SQUALLS, VERMONT LED TO CRASHES ON I-80 NINE. NOW A NEW MAJOR IS EXPECTED TO DROP NEARLY SEVEN INCHES

OF SNOW IN THE DAKOTAS MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN AREA. THAT’S EXPECTED TURN TO HEAVY RAIN AS IT MAKES ITS WAY TO THE I-95 CORRIDOR. THIS WINDY CONDITIONS IN MINNESOTA SENT A HOT AIR BALLOON CRASHING TO THE GROUND. FOUR PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD WHEN THE BALLOON WAS BLOWN INTO A POWER LINE.

THE CRASH SPARKED A SMALL BRUSH FIRE, WHICH WAS QUICKLY OUT. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. AND THE SUMMER OLYMPICS IN PARIS ARE GOING UNDERGROUND TO KEEP THE QUARTERS COOL. ORGANIZERS SAY THEY’RE DITCHING TRADITIONAL CONDITIONING TO TRY TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT. INSTEAD, PLANNING TO USE A GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM COOLED

BY WATER. THAT’S SUPPOSED TO ENSURE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ATHLETE’S APARTMENTS WON’T RISE ABOVE 79 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. MEANWHILE, AMERICANS ARE BACK ON U.S. SOIL AFTER BEING EVACUATED FROM HAITI. >> THE STATE SAYS A U.S. CHARTERED FLIGHT LANDED IN ORLANDO YESTERDAY AND OTHERS TRANSPORTED MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

BUT HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED THERE AS THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM SAYS THE COUNTRY IS ON THE VERGE OF FAMINE. MATT RIVERS HAS THE LATEST. >> PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI. EMOTIONAL REUNIONS AT ORLANDO, SANFORD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. >> YOU OBVIOUSLY SAW TEARS. YOU SAW LAUGHTER. YOU SAW JOY.

>> AMERICANS FLEEING WEEKS OF UNREST IN HAITI FINALLY HOME . >> WE’RE FINALLY REUNITED WITH JULIAN, OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON. IT TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS SO THAT THESE WERE TURNING INTO WEEKS. THE FOR TURNING INTO MONTHS. >> PHILLIP, OUR MINE RECALLING THE HARROWING JOURNEY, VERY DIFFICULT PART, WAS GETTING

AROUND AND MAKING IT TO AIRPORT FOR THEM TO FLY OUT. IT WAS JUST. >> THIS EVACUATION FLIGHT FROM NORTHERN HAITI WHERE THERE LITTLE TO NO GANG VIOLENCE HAD 14 PASSENGERS ON BOARD, INCLUDING EIGHT CHILDREN. WEDNESDAY, OUR TEAM CAPTURING THIS DARING MISSION. TWO STATE DEPARTMENT CHOPPERS FLYING AT LEAST 30 AMERICANS

OUT OF PORT AU PRINCE. AFTER WEEKS OF CHAOS. GANGS HAVE A STRANGLEHOLD ON THE CAPITOL CITY WHERE MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL TRAPPED TO GET TO THEATERS, ON SHIRTS AND YOU CAN DO THIS LIKE DAY AND NIGHT. >> THIS AMERICAN HOPING TO LEAVE PORT AU PRINCE TODAY ON A STATE DEPARTMENT FLIGHT.

HE CHOSE NOT DISCLOSE HIS IDENTITY ON CAMERA OUT OF FEAR OF GANG VIOLENCE. SO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. >> THAT IS BECAUSE THERE’S SO MANY HAITIANS HERE, PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THAT CAN’T LEAVE THIS DISASTER. AND MATT RIVERS JOINS ME NOW

FROM PORT AU PRINCE FOR MORE ON THIS MATT. YOU’VE BEEN THERE FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS NOW. WHAT’S IT LIKE THERE? WELL, WE KNOW THAT THE VIOLENCE IS GOING DOWN, IF ONLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HEARD A SERIOUS OF GUNFIRE NOT FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE. >> OUR BEST GUESS, PROBABLY

2 TO 3 KILOMETERS IN THE DIRECTION TO MY LEFT, WHERE JUST A SERIES OF GUNFIRE. AND IF YOU COME TO HAITI RELATIVELY FREQUENTLY, YOU KNOW, THAT GUNFIRE IN AND AROUND PORT AU PRINCE IS NOT ALL THAT RANDOM. IT IS SOMETHING YOU HEAR. BUT THE DIFFERENCE ON THIS TRIP

IS THAT THE KIND OF THAT WE JUST HEARD 30 SECONDS AGO IS THE KIND OF THING THAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING ALL THE TIME, THE FREQUENCY, THE VOLUME IN. EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND PORT AU PRINCE, IT FEELS LIKE THESE DAYS THAT IS JUST THE REALITY OF WHAT’S GOING ON HERE. WE KNOW THE GANGS CONTINUE

TO ENGAGE IN FIREFIGHTS WITH POLICE REGULARLY, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY’RE ATTACKING DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT’S ONE THING THAT WE’RE SEEING GOING AFTER PEOPLE’S INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL HOMES, CAUSING A SENSE OF PANIC, TRYING TO GAIN MORE TERRITORY SO THE GANGS CAN USE THAT AS LEVERAGE IN ANY FUTURE POLITICAL. IT SOUNDS CRASS TO TALK

ABOUT POLITICS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE’S LIVES ARE BEING AFFECTED BY ALL THIS. BUT THAT IS THE MENTALITY OF THESE GANGS. NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET BY STREET, ASSUMING POWER AS AS THEY CAN IN ORDER TO USE THAT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT DOWN THE ROAD. >> AND THAT PORTS ARE CLOSED,

THERE WAS ALREADY AN EXISTING HUNGER CRISIS. SO SAYING HAITI IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME. WHAT ARE AID WORKERS THERE TELLING YOU? YEAH, THERE’S NO QUESTION. I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, IT’S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE AID RUNS OUT. I MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S THERE’S ALREADY A EXISTING

HUNGER CRISIS. THE STOCKPILES OF FOOD HERE ARE NOT ALL THAT HIGH TO BEGIN WITH. >> AND IF THE AMOUNT IF THE PORTS WHERE YOU CAN BRING IN LOTS OF FOOD ARE CLOSED, WELL, THEN WHAT YOU DO. I THINK ONE THING THAT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER IS THAT A LOT OF HAITIANS DON’T

HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY. THEY DON’T HAVE FREEZER SPACE, LOTS OF STORES, MEATS LIKE THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY. MOST HAITIANS ARE GOING OUT FOR THEIR FOOD. AND THEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY AT HOME AGAIN, STOCK UP ON THE WAY. YOU MIGHT IN THE YOU KNOW, IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES.

AND SO THAT’S REALITY HERE THAT IF YOU’RE NOT CONTINUALLY RE-UPPING THE FOOD SUPPLY, YOU RUN THE RISK OF DWINDLING THE SUPPLIES YOU ALREADY HAVE VERY QUICKLY. SO IT’S A COMPOUNDING EFFECT WHEN YOU CLOSE THE PORTS, YOU MAKE AN ALREADY CRISIS THAT MUCH WORSE. >> NOW, OFFICIALS ARE PLANNING MORE FLIGHTS, BUT THEY SAY

CHAOS IN PORT AU PRINCE IS PUTTING RESCUE EFFORTS FOR AMERICANS IN JEOPARDY. SO WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THAT FRONT? YES, SO THERE WERE TWO EVACUATION FLIGHTS THAT LANDED AT THE U.S. EMBASSY NOT TOO FAR FROM WHERE WE ARE YESTERDAY. AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WANTS TO CONTINUE TO LAND

AT LEAST TWO FLIGHTS PER DAY, DEPENDING ON TWO THINGS. ONE, SECURITY AND TWO, DEMAND. >> WE KNOW THAT THE DEMAND IS STILL THERE. THERE’S STILL HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS THAT WANT TO GET OUT OF HAITI, BUT ALSO THE SECURITY CAN CHANGE ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOME OF THESE

HELICOPTERS COMING INTO THE EMBASSY START TAKING POT SHOTS FROM FROM FROM THE GROUND? WHAT HAPPENS IF A GANG JUST, YOU KNOW, FIRES A KALASHNIKOV INTO THE AIR? IS THAT THE KIND OF THING THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO WITHSTAND IN ORDER TO CONTINUE FLYING THOSE FLIGHTS?

I THINK EACH EACH HOUR, REALLY. THERE’S CONTINUAL SECURITY ASSESSMENTS BEING DONE TO SEE IF THOSE FLIGHTS REMAIN A VIABLE OPTION TO GET AMERICANS. AND I JUST WOULD BE REMISS IF WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AMERICANS GETTING. AT LEAST THE AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. AND THAT’S THIS IS A POINT

THAT WE KEEP DRIVING HOME. BUT I THINK IT’S WORTH REPEATING. AMERICANS HAVE AN OPTION TO GET OUT. THEY’VE GOT A GOVERNMENT THAT’S SENDING IN PLANE OR HELICOPTERS TO GET THEM OUT. WHO COMES TO GET THE HAITIANS THAT HAVE NOWHERE TO GO? AND I THINK THAT THAT’S EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT THE U.S.

CITIZENS, RIGHTLY SO, WE SHOULD ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE 3 MILLION HAITIANS THAT LIVE IN THIS CITY. >> ALL RIGHT, MATT IN HAITI THERE TO TELL THAT STORY. MATT, THANK YOU. STAY SAFE. AND NOW TO A NEW WARNING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF TICK TOCK. AFTER A NATIONAL SECURITY

BRIEFING WEDNESDAY, ONE SENATORS COMPARING THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM TO A GUN AIMED AMERICANS. ABC NEWS ANDREA FUJII HAS THE DETAILS. >> THE BILL WAS PASSED ONE WEEK AFTER THE HOUSE APPROVED A BILL THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BAN TIKTOK IN. U.S. SENATORS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE HAVE A STARK

SOME SORT OF ACTION LATER THIS SPRING. >> THE CONTENT ON TIK TOK IN CHINA IS PUSHING THINGS LIKE MATH AND SCIENCE EDUCATION AND HARD WORK AND DISCIPLINE. AND HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IS PUSHING THINGS TO OUR KIDS LIKE SELF-HARM, SUICIDE. >> OUR THANKS TO ANDREA FUJII

THAT VIDEO SHOWS A PARALYZED MAN APPEARING TO MOVE A COMPUTER WITH HIS MIND TO PLAY CHESS. A MAN SAYS A MICROCHIP IMPLANTED IN HIS BRAIN MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE.

TREVOR AULT THE DETAILS. >> A MAJOR SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT. >> IT WAS LIKE USING THE FORCE. ELON MUSK’S NEURALINK INTRODUCING THE WORLD TO WHO THEY SAY IS THEIR FIRST PATIENT WITH A BRAIN COMPUTER IMPLANT. >> I LOVE PLAYING CHESS. AND SO THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ALL HAVE

ENABLED ME DO SOMETHING THAT I WASN’T ABLE TO REALLY DO MUCH. HIS MOVES. >> HOW COOL IT IS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. THE OF ELON MUSK’S STARTUP IS TO HELP PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEBILITATING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING PARALYSIS, COMMUNICATE AND CONTROL DEVICES WITH THEIR THOUGHTS. THE DEVICE IS DESIGNED

TO INTERPRET YOUR NEURAL ACTIVITY SO YOU CAN OPERATE A COMPUTER OR SMARTPHONE BY SIMPLY THINKING. >> THE FDA APPROVED FOR HUMAN TRIALS LAST MAY LAST YEAR. SWISS COMBINED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND BRAIN AND SPINE IMPLANTS TO HELP THIS MAN PARALYZED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. WALK AGAIN IN AUGUST. THIS WOMAN, WHO HAD LOST

HER VOICE TO PARALYSIS, WAS ABLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER HUSBAND AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF A MIND CONTROLLED AVATAR TO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH. >> 29-YEAR-OLD ARBOR BECAME A QUADRIPLEGIC AFTER A DIVING. HE SAYS HE’S NOW THANKFUL FOR THE FREEDOM THE DEVICE GIVES HIM.

>> BUT HE DOES SAY THERE’S STILL A WAYS TO GO. YEAH, I MEAN, IT’S NOT. I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE RUN INTO SOME ISSUES. I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT IT IS LIKE THIS IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. THERE’S STILL A LOT OF WORK

TO BE DONE, BUT IT HAS ALREADY CHANGED MY LIFE. OUR THANKS TO TREVOR AULT FOR THAT REPORT. AND EVERY YEAR, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS GET DUPED ON OFF LINE WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS. RECENTLY, THE CREATOR THE VIRAL WHO TF DID I MARRY ON TIK TOK IS SAYING SHE WAS DECEIVED.

AND SHE’S NOT ALONE. ABC NEWS ASHTON SINGH HAS MORE ON THIS STORY IN THIS WEEK’S “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. >> I WANT YOU TO TELL THE STORY OF HOW I MET, DATED, MARRIED AND DIVORCED A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. >> WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS IN EVEN SORT OF TELLING THE STORY?

BECAUSE I HAVE TO IMAGINE WHEN YOU’VE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING ALMOST AS TRAUMATIC, AS YOU WENT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE’S MOVIES, TO PUT IT TO THE SIDE, I HAD INTERNALIZED IT FOR A LONG TIME. THIS STORY HAPPENED 2022, 2021. SO WE’RE HERE IN 2024. I JUST NOW FELT COMFORTABLE

TO TELL THIS STORY BECAUSE FOR THE LONGEST TIME I WAS SO EMBARRASSED, BEATING MYSELF UP A LOT OF SHAME, THE FACT THAT I ALLOWED THIS PERSON INTO MY LIFE. AND SO IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT IF I’M GOING TO HEAL, THIS IS PART OF MY JOURNEY.

>> RISA IS FAR FROM ALONE. EVERY YEAR, THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS SAY THEY’RE DUPED BY PROMISES OR FEAR TACTICS. SOME SCAMMED OUT OF THEIR LIFE SAVINGS. LAST FALL, I WAS OUT OF $50,000 BY PEOPLE WHO THREATENED MY FAMILY AND IMPERSONATED GOVERNMENT AGENTS. OTHERS DECEIVED IN MATTERS OF THE HEART.

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY LOVE. I WILL FIGHT THROUGH THIS JUST TO BE WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU. LIE SAD AND, ALMOST LOSING IT ALL. SOMETIMES IT’S BELIEVING TOO MUCH, IN PEOPLE. SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE BELIEVING TOO LITTLE. AND MAYBE IT’S ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF ARROGANCE. I SOMETIMES SEE PEOPLE WHO

ARE OVERLY SELF-CONFIDENT. THEY SAY, OH, I CAN’T BE TRICKED. SO THEIR GUARD DOWN AND THEY DON’T DO THEIR HOMEWORK. AND YOU CAN SEE MORE OF OPTIONS. FULL REPORT ON THIS WEEK’S EPISODE “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. HOW I GOT PLAYED ONLY ON HULU. NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY THURSDAY AND A WILD SAFARI

ABC’S EVA PILGRIM HAS MORE MORE ON THIS TERRIFYING MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA. FRIGHTENED TOURISTS DUCKING BETWEEN SEATS DURING A TENSE STANDOFF BETWEEN THE SAFARI

DRIVER AND AN ANGRY ELEPHANT AT THE LUNDBERG NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH AFRICA. THE BULL ELEPHANT LIFTING, THE VEHICLE SEVERAL FEET IN THE AIR TWICE BEFORE LETTING IT DROP. THE DRIVER BACKING UP, SLAMMING HIS HAND AGAINST THE DOOR, TRYING TO CONVINCE THE ELEPHANT TO STOP. >> THIS ELEPHANT WAS OBVIOUSLY

A MALE AND HE WAS CHALLENGING THAT VEHICLE. HE’S INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. BUT — BUT MALES LIKE THAT, THEY’RE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS PUNKS BECAUSE THEY CAN A LITTLE BIT OF TEMPER, THEY CAN SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF ATTITUDE. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOMETIMES IT’S MORE BARK THAN.

>> BUT EVENTUALLY THERE IS ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN. THE ANIMAL AND THE VEHICLE AND THE ELEPHANT LOSES INTEREST . >> YES, WE WERE DEFINITELY SCARED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY MIGHT DIE. THE ACTIONS GETTING MIXED REVIEWS ONLINE. BUT EXPERTS SAY THE DRIVER DID

EXACTLY WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THAT. >> ANYBODY WHO’S WORKED WITH ELEPHANTS WILL TELL YOU WHEN A BULL LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T TURN AND RUN. YOU NEED TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE OF STAND YOUR GROUND. EVEN EVA PILGRIM. THANK YOU. AND WE SHOULD NOTE, THE TOUR

YOU’RE STREAMING ABC NEWS LIVE NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE. MAINTAINING MONOPOLY. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AS APPLE IS GUILTY OF BLOCKING, SUPPRESSING AND MANIPULATING THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION AND HOW APPLE IS NOW RESPONDING, PUSHING FOR A CEASE FIRE. SECRETARY OF STATE IN EGYPT

AS HUNGER CONTINUES TO RAVAGE GAZA. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. AND PAY UP OR TURN THEM OVER. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL DOUBLING DOWN ON HER DEADLINE, TELLING TRUMP IF HE CAN’T PAY BOND, HE’LL PAY AND PROPERTIES. A POTENTIAL SALE THIS HOUR. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.

TOP STORY THIS HOUR, TAKING A BITE OUT OF APPLE. HOW MANY OF US HAVE IPHONES? WELL, WE’VE GOT THEM ON US RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? MILLIONS AMERICANS. THEY DO. AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS NOW SAYING THAT’S PARTLY BECAUSE THE TECH GIANT HAS CREATED A LEGAL MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET.

THE DOJ FILING AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE TODAY. ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND SAYING THAT THE COMPANY HAS MAINTAINED POWER THROUGH ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT. WE’RE JOINED BY OUR ABC NEWS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REPORTER ALEX MALLIN. ALSO OUR ELIZABETH SCHULZE. SO ALEX, TALK ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT THE DOJ IS ACCUSING APPLE OF DOING.

YEAH, KARA, THIS IS REALLY A LANDMARK LAWSUIT FROM THE JUSTICE AND IT REALLY SEEKS TO EXPOSE WHAT IT DESCRIBES AS APPLE’S UNLAWFUL MONOPOLY OVER THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. BASICALLY THEY WALK US THROUGH THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF APPLE, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPING THE IPHONE AND THEN HOW IT BASICALLY DESIGNED IT.

AND OF ITS APPS TO EXCLUDE COMPETITORS FROM BEING ABLE TO EVEN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WOULD REMOTELY COMPETE WITH IT. WE WALK THROUGH IN THIS LAWSUIT, IT’S ABOUT 80 PAGES AND THEY’RE JOINED BY 14 OTHER STATES AND DISTRICT PAGES. AND THEY REALLY WALK THROUGH HOW THAT THE APPLE BASICALLY

DESIGNED ITS PLATFORMS TO OTHER PEOPLE FROM BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE LIKE WHENEVER YOU PICK UP YOUR IPHONE AND YOU’RE COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEBODY ON AN ANDROID, YOU KNOW, SO THAT GREEN TEXT BUBBLE POPS UP. AND THEY ALSO THE AG REMARKED IN HIS PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY HOW IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO GET

VIDEOS, AN ANDROID USER OR SEND VIDEOS FROM YOUR IPHONE TO OTHER PEOPLE. SO IT BASICALLY IT INCENTIVIZES PEOPLE TO COME TO APPLE AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS ALL PART OF AN UNLAWFUL PRACTICE TO BUILD UP THIS MONOPOLY KYRA. >> SO, ELIZABETH, WHAT COULD THE LAWSUIT MEAN FOR SMARTPHONE USERS, YOU THINK?

>> RIGHT. SO THE MAIN TAKEAWAY AS FAR AS WHAT IT WILL MEAN IMMINENTLY IS IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR THESE CHANGES TO GO INTO EFFECT. AND THAT’S BECAUSE IS VOWING TO VIGOROUSLY FIGHT THIS. IT’S DISPUTING THE ALLEGATIONS BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT SOME OF THIS IDEA

THAT REGULATORS GOING AFTER HOW YOU WOULD INTERACT WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE. I DO THINK THIS WILL RESONATE WITH A LOT OF USERS OUT THERE. ALEX TALKED ABOUT THAT GREEN BUBBLE. THERE’S ALSO THE FACT THAT IF YOU’RE IN THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM, YOU WOULDN’T NEED APPLE WATCH TO RELY ON ICLOUD TO ALSO

INTERACT WITH YOUR IPOD, YOUR IPHONE. SO THE QUESTION IS, IF THIS AS IT GOES THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS, WOULD IT ULTIMATELY BECOME EASIER DOWN THE LINE TO SEPARATE OUT THOSE DIFFERENT UNITS SO THAT YOU COULD HAVE THEM INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER? A LOT OF ANALYSTS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD CALL APPLE’S

APPROACH A WALLED GARDEN. AND THE IDEA IS MAYBE SOME OF THOSE LAWS WILL NEED TO COME DOWN WITH TIME KYRA. SO, ALEX, ARE PRODUCTS ACTUALLY MENTIONED BY NAME? I MEAN, THEY MENTIONED THE IWATCH AS WELL, IN COORDINATION WITH THE IDEA THAT APPLE’S BASICALLY DESIGNED ALL OF ITS APPS AND DEVICES

TO BE REALLY KIND OF WORK WITH THE IPHONE. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS ALSO LIKE THEIR APPS LIKE WHATSAPP, THEY SAY THAT BASICALLY APPLE CREATED THIS SYSTEM WHERE IT DISINCENTIVIZES COMPANIES TO CREATE MESSENGER BASED PLATFORMS SO PEOPLE COULD COMMUNICATE EASILY BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEVICES, DIFFERENT SMARTPHONES. I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW

WHAT THEY REALLY ARE TRYING EXPOSE APPLE HERE FOR IS NOT JUST ITS IPHONE, BUT ALL OF THESE OTHER APPS AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY’VE COME UP WITH IN THEIR LONG HISTORY. THEY SAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO WALL OFF AND BASICALLY CREATE NO COMPETITION. >> SO, ELIZABETH, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I MEAN, COULD THIS FORCE APPLE TO CHANGE BUSINESS MODEL NOW? AND IS APPLE SAYING ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO ALL OF THIS AS IT BREAKS? AND HERE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD HERE. I MEAN, APPLE HAS A MARKET CAP OF TWO AND A HALF PLUS TRILLION DOLLARS.

SO THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THIS BUSINESS MODEL. THAT IS A BIG DEAL WHEN YOU LOOK AT JUST HOW MUCH THESE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT, GENERATED REVENUE. THE IPHONE ALONE IS MORE THAN $200 BILLION EVERY YEAR. SO APPLE, UNSURPRISINGLY, IN STATEMENT, IS STRONGLY DISPUTING THIS. IT SAYS IT DISAGREES WITH THE

FACTS, THIS CASE. IT PLANS TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT AND ULTIMATELY SAYS THAT SOME OF THESE, IF THEY HAD TO GO INTO EFFECT, WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON ITS USERS WHO THEY LOVE THE WAY THAT ITS PRODUCTS WORK HERE. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO DEFINITELY FOLLOW THIS THROUGH, SEE

WHAT HAPPENS AND IF INDEED OR ALEX, THAT APPLE SAYS ANYTHING MORE. I KNOW ALEX WILL. AND SO YOU, ELIZABETH, THANK YOU BOTH. SO THERE’S A CRITICAL CONVERSATION THAT’S TAKING PLACE IN CAIRO RIGHT NOW. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN OVERSEAS MEETING WITH THE EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER AS THE U.S. RAMPS UP

CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS AND SECURE THE RELEASE OF ALL REMAINING HOSTAGES WHILE BRINGING MORE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO GAZA AND THE PUSH FOR A CEASE FIRE COMING AT A CRUCIAL TIME. THE U.N. NOW WARNING OF TOTAL FAMINE IN THE NORTHERN OF THE GAZA STRIP BY MAY UNLESS

A CEASE FIRE DOES. BUT EVEN WITH THE MOUNTING PRESSURE, ISRAEL CONTINUES TO STRIKE AREAS IN THE NORTH, INCLUDING AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL, WHERE THE IDF IS CONDUCTING OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY. THEY SAY, AT THE MEDICAL COMPLEX. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IS IN LONDON. SO, JOHN, ABC NEWS HAS NOW SEEN

THIS DRAFT OF A NEW U.S. RESOLUTION SET TO GO BEFORE THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE. THE U.S. HAS SET OUT ITS POSITION ON ON THE POTENTIAL OF HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN. BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. SO WHAT’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS ROUND? >> WELL, KYRA, THE FIRST

IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE U.S. IS NOW PUSHING FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE. THIS DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT IS SET TO GO BEFORE THE U.N., U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL. THE SECOND DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE U.S. IS NOW PUSHING FOR A SUSTAINED CEASE FIRE. AND IF YOU LOOK BACK TO WHEN

THE U.S. VETOED ON THREE OCCASIONS DRAFT RESOLUTIONS PUT FORTH BY OTHER COUNTRIES. THE U.S. POSITION BACK THEN WAS THAT IT WANTED A TEMPORARY FIRE OR EVEN A PAUSE IN THE FIGHTING. AND THEN THE OTHER KEY DIFFERENCE IN WORDING HERE, AND IT IS REALLY KIND OF DOWN TO PRECISE WORDING THAT WE CAN

LOOK AT, IS THE DRAFT RESOLUTION THE U.S. IS PUTTING FORWARD NOW SEEM TO TIE DIRECTLY THIS IMMEDIATE, SUSTAINED CEASE FIRE IT’S CALLING FOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES. IT DOES TALK ABOUT THE AMBITION TO RELEASE ALL OF THE HOSTAGES FROM GAZA AS PART OF A CONTINUING PROCESS. THAT SAID, U.S. OFFICIALS TELL

ABC THAT IS A KEY GOAL FOR THE U.S. AND PART OF ITS POSITION. SO IT IS VERY MUCH PART OF THE TALKS BEHIND THE SCENES. >> SO THAT OPERATION THAT WAS CARRIED OFF BY THE IDF AT AL-SHIFA, IS IT STILL ONGOING EVEN WITH ALL THE PRESSURE MOUNTING? >> IT’S ONGOING. IT’S WINDING DOWN.

I THINK NOW. I MEAN, THIS OPERATION AT AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THREE DAYS. IT’S IN THE NORTH OF GAZA. THAT’S WHERE THERE’S THE MOST CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN SITUATION ON THE GROUND. RISING CALLS ABOUT THE THREAT OF FAMINE IN PARTICULAR AREAS AROUND THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, ANY MILITARY

OPERATION, A HOSPITAL THROUGHOUT THIS WAR HAS BEEN HUGELY CONTROVERSIAL. THE IDF IS NOW SAYING THEY HAVE ARRESTED AROUND 600 SUSPECTS. THEY’RE SAYING THEY’VE KILLED, IN THEIR WORDS, AROUND ABOUT 150 TERRORISTS, ALTHOUGH THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITIES IN GAZA LINKED TO HAMAS SAY THAT MANY CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT OPERATION.

AND IT’S INTERESTING, OF COURSE ,ISRAEL MOVED INTO THE AL-SHIFA COMPLEX BACK IN NOVEMBER. IT TOOK CONTROL OF IT IT TOOK JOURNALISTS FROM ABC NEWS DOWN INTO THE TUNNELS UNDERNEATH THERE. AND NOW IT SEEMS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A THREAT ONCE AGAIN. SO IT SHOWS THAT EVEN WHEN ISRAEL TAKES TERRITORY IT

DOESN’T STOP HAMAS RE INFILTRATING THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN THE. >> TOM, THANK YOU. >> ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW, THE RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS OUT OF HAITI AS ARMED GANGS CONTINUE TO RAVAGE THEIR OWN FIGHTING FOR POWER. NEW IMAGES THIS HOUR OF THE HARROWING RESCUES.

THE U.S. SENDING IN HELICOPTERS TRYING TO EVACUATE MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE STATE DEPARTMENT THEN THOSE CITIZENS ON FLIGHTS BACK TO THE U.S.. CAMERAS CAPTURING SOME OF THE EMOTIONAL REUNIONS OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA. FOR THAT, WE WANT TO BRING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, ALSO OUR PHIL LIPOFF.

SO LET’S START WITH YOU AND TELL US ABOUT THESE FLIGHTS THAT WERE CHARTERED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HOW THEY WERE CARRIED OUT AND HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE. >> SO THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT THEY ARE PLANNING A SERIES OF FLIGHTS TO EVACUATE U.S.

CITIZENS OUT OF HAITI’S CAPITAL. THEY ESTIMATE THAT MORE THAN 30 U.S. CITIZENS CAN BE THROUGH THIS METHOD PER DAY. BUT IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THIS CAN GO ON FOR, OFFICIALS SAY IT DEPENDS ON THE SECURITY SITUATION ON THE GROUND, THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE COMMERCIAL CHARTERS AND THE DEMAND FROM AMERICANS.

NOW, THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT AS OF NOW, NEARLY 1600 AMERICANS HAVE REGISTERED, WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO LEAVE HAITI. AND HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THEY’RE STRESSING HERE THAT THE U.S. HAS HAD A DO NOT TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR HAITI SINCE 2020,

PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY CAUSED BY THE GANGS AND THE VIOLENCE. OFFICIALS ALSO STRESSING THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CANNOT GUARANTEE THE EVACUATION OF ALL U.S. CITIZENS. >> SO, PHIL, THE REUNIONS OF FAMILIES HAVE BEEN SO EMOTIONAL BACK HERE IN THE U.S. FOR SURE. YEAH, HERE. I MEAN, IMAGINE THE STRESS

OF WATCHING THE AND VIOLENT IMAGES ON TV, KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE THERE IN THE LINE OF FIRE AT THE REUNION YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT, WE SPOKE WITH A FATHER WHO WAS DESPERATELY WAITING TO GET HIS TWO YEAR OLD SON OUT OF THAT COUNTRY. LITTLE JULIA.

JULIANNE GOT OFF THE PLANE LAST NIGHT WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHO’VE BEEN TRYING GET OUT OF HAITI FOR DAD. AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, THE WAIT SEEMED FOREVER. >> IT TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. SO THE DAYS WERE TURNING INTO WEEKS THE WEEKS WERE TURNING INTO MONTHS. BUT WE’RE VERY GRATEFUL

TO EVERYONE THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE. >> BUT JUST IMAGINE THE RELIEF, KYRA, YOU KNOW THIS AS MOM, WHEN A CHILD IS IN DANGER, THERE’S JUST ABOUT NOTHING. YOU WON’T DO TO PROTECT THEM. BUT IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET BACK INTO HAITI.

>> YOU SAW THE SILLINESS OF THE TRAVEL, YOU KNOW, TRAVEL WARNING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> AND THEN AND NOW THERE’S NO WAY TO GET IN WHATSOEVER. SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT MADE THE WAIT MUCH LONGER OR AT LEAST SEEM MUCH LONGER, TWO AND A HALF WEEKS.

>> OH, PHIL, I KNOW IT WOULD SEEM LIKE FOREVER JUST WATCHING THEM GRAB ON TO THOSE PRECIOUS LITTLE BABIES BASE YOUR HEART SAYING, SELENA, PHIL, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH. SO LETITIA JAMES TELLS DONALD TRUMP, NOT SO FAST. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL URGING AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE THE FORMER

PRESIDENT’S, THAT SECURING A BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO PAY NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLARS CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY. IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL BY MONDAY, JAMES COULD BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE

CORRESPONDENT ERIC, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN. SO, ERIN WE’RE LEARNING THAT JUDGE ARTHUR ENGORON HAS IMPOSED THIS MONITOR OVER THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION NOW AS PART OF THE JUDGMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE TRUMP TO PAY HIS HALF BILLION DOLLAR PENALTY. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT WILL WORK?

>> THIS IS A MONITOR THAT’S BASICALLY SENT IN BY THE COURT TO OVERSEE THE TRUMP FINANCES. AND IT MEANS THAT IT REALLY TRUMP’S ABILITY TO MANEUVER HIS MONEY AND HIS PHYSICAL ASSETS AS HE LOOKS TO SECURE THIS BOND TO GUARANTEE HE CAN PAY THE NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLARS FRAUD JUDGMENT.

ANYTHING THAT HE WANTS TO DO IF HE WANTS TO BUY, SELL SOMETHING, RESTRUCTURE SOMETHING THAT WILL ALL HAVE TO THROUGH A MONITOR TO MAKE SURE IT’S ON THE UP AND UP AND TO SURE IT IS PROPERLY DISCLOSED. >> SO LET ME ADD, TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY THAT MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED

HIM DOWN. NO SURPRISE WHATSOEVER THAT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN IS FUN, RIGHT? FUNDRAISING OFF THIS BOND DISPUTE. NOW, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY ALL THOSE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN? DO THEY NOT TRUST HIM? WELL, IT COULD BE THAT IT COULD THAT IT IS SUCH A MASSIVE AMOUNT AS TRUMP SAYS THAT NO

COMPANY WANTS. DO IT. AS YOU JUST SAID, HE’S FUNDRAISING OFF OF THIS. HE’S SENT OUT MULTIPLE DIRECTLY REFERENCING WHAT THE AG JAMES SAID TO OUR OWN AARON KATERSKY, WHICH IS THAT SHE IS WILLING TO START SEIZING ASSETS. TRUMP HAS BEEN SENDING OUT EMAIL SAYING, HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER.

THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE MY ASSETS. SO HE’S MAKING IT A POLITICAL CRY AND USING IT AS ANOTHER WAY TO SEEM AS THOUGH HE’S BEING UNFAIRLY PROSECUTE IT. AND A DEMOCRAT ATTORNEY GENERAL IS COMING AFTER HIS ASSETS UNFAIRLY. THAT’S HOW HE’S TRYING TO SPIN THIS. BUT HE’S ALSO TAKING ISSUE

WITH THE WAY THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO COME UP WITH THIS BECAUSE THE BOND COMPANIES WON’T, YOU KNOW, HELP HIM OUT WITH A BOND. HE’S SAYING IF I HAVE TO START SELLING OFF ASSETS TO PUT UP THE MONEY, THEN I WIN ON APPEAL. THEN I CAN’T GET THOSE ASSETS BACK.

SO HE’S TAKING ISSUE SORT OF WITH THE PLAY BY PLAY HERE, REALLY SAYING HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PUT THE MONEY UNTIL THE RESULTS OF THE APPEAL ARE COMPLETE AND THAT PART OF WHAT HE’S BEEN ZEROING IN ON HERE. SO, ERIN, COME THEN IF TRUMP DOESN’T PAY UP. LETITIA JAMES, I WAS READING

ABOUT THIS CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE FREEZES, BANK ACCOUNTS, EVEN COLLECT RENT FROM HIS BUILDING’S TENANTS, REQUEST AUCTIONING OFF HIS PROPERTIES. YOU KNOW THIS IS THIS IS FAR BIGGER THAN JUST OKAY, I’M GOING TO TAKE SOME OF YOUR BUILDINGS. OH, POTENTIALLY BE KIRA.

AND LOOK, THIS IS A TYPICAL WAY THAT STATES WILL TRY TO ENFORCE CIVIL PENALTIES. REMEMBER, O.J. SIMPSON HAD HIS HEISMAN TROPHY SEIZED AND AUCTIONED OFF SO THAT HE COULD PAY OFF THE FAMILY OF HIS OF HIS WIFE AFTER THE MURDER. SO THIS IS COMMON NOW. IT’S NOT LIKE LETITIA JAMES IS

GOING TO BE THERE WITH A PADLOCK AND A STICKER AT THE DOOR OF TOWER, BUT SHE CAN START TO INITIATE DIFFERENT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS LIKE LEAVES AND FORECLOSURES, WHICH WOULD BEGIN A RATHER LONG AND SLOW PROCESS OF TRYING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF HIS ASSETS. WE’LL FOLLOW IT. IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING

TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS OR ON MONDAY AND EVEN AFTER MONDAY. ERIN, OLIVIA, THANK YOU. SO IT MAY BE SPRING, BUT DEPENDING WHERE YOU LIVE, IT SURE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT. A MAJOR STORM IS NOW ON THE MOVE THREATENING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FROM THE MIDWEST TO NEW ENGLAND. HEAVY SNOW ALREADY SLAMMING

PARTS OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, PARTS OF THAT STATE UNDER A WINTER STORM. WATCH INTO THE WEEKEND. 11 STATES FROM MONTANA TO MAINE ALSO UNDER SNOW ALERTS TODAY. METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE FORECAST. SAY IT AIN’T SNOW. MELISSA. >> THAT’S RIGHT, CAROL. SERIOUSLY. AND SAY IT AIN’T A IN MAINE.

>> LOOK AT THIS. THIS MORNING. BLIZZARD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED IN OF NORTHERN MAINE. IF YOU’RE THERE, YOU’RE EXPERIENCING 50 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS UP TO A FOOT REALLY NOT FEELING LIKE SPRING THERE. AND ALSO, WE’RE TRACKING SEVERE WEATHER.

THE MOVE STARTED CHASING A DOG FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AMERICA. THIS MORNING, AMERICA’S NUMBER EARLY MORNING NEWS ON ABC NEWS. >> WHAT THE AMBUSH, SHOOTOUT. AND NOW THE MANHUNT IS ON FOR A CONVICTED FELON. SKYLER MEADE AND HIS ACCOMPLICE. IT HAPPENED AT AN IDAHO HOSPITAL WHEN THE INMATE WAS

LEAVING IN POLICE CUSTODY. THAT’S WHEN HIS ACCOMPLICE OPENED FIRE, INJURING OFFICERS AND THEN PAVING THE WAY FOR THEIR ESCAPE. OUR VICTOR OQUENDO IS IN BOISE, IDAHO. SO, VICTOR, WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THE SEARCH AND WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT SKYLER MEADE AND ALSO THE MAN WHO HELPED HIM ESCAPE HERE?

>> LOCAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES ,AS WELL AS THE FBI. THEY ARE ALL INVOLVED IN THIS SEARCH FOR SKYLER MEADE. THE CHIEF OF POLICE SAID THAT DOZENS OF LEADS HAVE COME IN AND THEY HAVE TEAMS OF DETECTIVES WORKING THROUGH ALL OF THEM THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE. AND THE REGION.

BUT AT THIS POINT, SKYLER MEADE AND HIS ACCOMPLICE, THEY ARE STILL ON THE RUN. WE HAVE LEARNED THE IDENTITY OF THE ACCOMPLICE. IT’S NICHOLAS UP AN HOUR NOW. WANTED ON TWO CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED BATTERY AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CHARGE OF AIDING AND ABETTING AN ESCAPE. KIRA SO DO OFFICIALS HAVE ANY

ADDITIONAL? NOW, WE’VE GOT THE TWO PICTURES HERE. ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON HOW THESE TWO MEN MET KNOW EACH OTHER? WERE THEY IN JAIL? DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW THEY PLANNED THIS ESCAPE? A LOT OF GOOD QUESTIONS THERE, CAROL BOISE DID SAY THAT THEIR INVESTIGATION, THEIR INVESTIGATION LED THEM

TO IDENTIFY NICHOLAS IAN PANNELL AS AN ASSOCIATE OF MEADE’S. THEY HAVEN’T EXPOUNDED TOO MUCH ON THAT, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT SKYLER MEADE DOES HAVE TIES TO A WHITE SUPREMACIST GANG. RIGHT NOW, THEY DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE OR WHERE THEY HEADED. BUT CLEARLY THIS WAS A PLANNED AND COORDINATED ATTACK.

AGAIN, JUST TO RECAP HERE, SKYLER MEADE, AUTHORITIES SAY PURPOSEFUL HE INJURED HIMSELF TO THE POINT WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE TRANSPORTED HERE TO THIS HOSPITAL, BOISE. AND IT’S AS HE WAS COMING OUT, LEAVING WITH THOSE CORRECTIONS THAT THE ACCOMPLICE JUMP IN OUR OPEN FIRE, HITTING TWO OF THOSE OFFICERS, AND THEN THEY WERE

ABLE TO MAKE THEIR ESCAPE. AT THIS POINT, KYRA, THIS DUO IS ON THE RUN. >> SO WHAT ARE OFFICIALS TELLING THE PUBLIC NOW? CLEARLY, IF THEY HAVE SPOT THEM, CONTACT AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY? >> EXACTLY. THEY HAVE THE TWO PHOTOS. THEY KNOW THE CAR THAT THEY WERE LAST IN, GRAY HONDA CIVIC.

THESE ARE CLEARLY DANGEROUS WITH A PROPENSITY FOR VIOLENCE. THAT’S WHAT OFFICIALS SAID. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR WHEREABOUTS, GO AHEAD AND CONTACT POLICE. DO NOT TRY TO MAKE CONTACT WITH EITHER OF THESE TWO MEN KYRA. ALL RIGHT, VICTOR, APPRECIATE IT. WE’LL FOLLOW THE MANHUNT. SO HE HAD NO RESERVATION, NO

TICKET. HE GOT THROUGH SECURITY AND THEN HE BOARDED A FLIGHT. YEAH, WE’RE ALL THINKING THE SAME THING. HOW THE HECK DID THIS HAPPEN? AND HOW DID NOT ONE PERSON EVEN HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT WAS GOING ON? IT HAPPENED IN UTAH, AND NOW THE FBI IS TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT.

OUR TRANSPORTATION CORRESPONDENT, GIO BENITEZ, IS ON THE STORY. >> JIM, THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING BECAUSE, AGAIN, THIS MAN ALLEGEDLY MADE IT ALL THE WAY ONTO A DELTA FLIGHT WITHOUT THOSE TICKETS. NOW, HERE’S WHAT COURT DOCUMENTS SAY. THEY SAY THAT THE 26-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SUNDAY

IN SALT LAKE CITY TAKING PHOTOS OF MULTIPLE PASSENGERS PHONES AND BOARDING PASSES WHILE THEY WERE NOT LOOKING. HE THEN USED HIS PHONE AS A BOARDING PASS TO GET ON THAT PLANE. NOW, ONCE ONBOARD, THEY SAY HE ENTERED THE LAVATORY UNTIL THE DOORS WERE SHUT AND THE PLANE BEGAN TO TAXI.

A FLIGHT ATTENDANT APPROACHED HIM AND REALIZED THE MAN DID NOT HAVE A TICKET OR SEAT. THE PLANE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND THE MAN WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH STOWING AWAY ON AN AIRCRAFT. NOW, IT TURNS OUT THE MAN WAS BOOKED ON TWO STAND BY FLIGHTS ON SOUTHWEST, BUT BOTH WERE FULL.

SO HE TRIED TO GET ON THE DELTA FLIGHT INSTEAD. HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT WAS A MISTAKE AND THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET HOME. NOW, DELTA SAYS IT IS COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATORS. BUT OF COURSE, WHILE IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAN MET NO HARM, THIS A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION AND A

SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH AND THAT IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL KYRA. RIGHT GIO, THANKS. >> AND COMING UP, PRINCESS KATE AND HER PRIVACY. THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE POSSIBLE BREACH OF HER MEDICAL RECORDS AND MORE ON WHY SHE’S STEPPING AWAY FROM HER ROYAL DUTIES FOR A TIME. >> TONIGHT, THE TEXAS

SAYS APPLE IS GUILTY OF BLOCKING, SUPPRESSING AND MANIPULATING SMARTPHONE MARKET. WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION AND HOW APPLE IS NOW RESPONDING, PUSHING A CEASE FIRE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE IN EGYPT AS HUNGER CONTINUES TO RAVAGE. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. AND PAY UP OR TURN OVER THE NEW

YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL DOUBLING DOWN ON HER DEADLINE, TELLING TRUMP IF HE CAN’T PAY BOND, HE’LL PAY. AND PROPERTIES THE FIRE SALE THIS HOUR. GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, TAKING A BITE OUT OF APPLE. HOW MANY OF US HAVE IPHONES? WELL, WE’VE GOT THEM ON US

RIGHT NOW RIGHT? MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. THEY DO. AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS NOW SAYING THAT’S PARTLY BECAUSE THE TECH GIANT HAS CREATED A LEGAL MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. THE DOJ FILING AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE TODAY WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND SAYING THAT THE COMPANY HAS MAINTAINED ITS POWER THROUGH ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND,

EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT. WE’RE JOINED BY OUR ABC NEWS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REPORTER ALEX MALLIN. ALSO, OUR ELIZABETH SCHULZE. SO ALEX, LET’S TALK ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT THE DOJ IS ACCUSING APPLE OF DOING. >> YEAH, KARA, THIS IS REALLY A LANDMARK LAWSUIT FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND IT REALLY SEEKS TO EXPOSE WHAT IT

DESCRIBES AS APPLE’S UNLAWFUL MONOPOLY OVER THE SMARTPHONE. BASICALLY, THEY WALK US THROUGH THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF APPLE, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPING THE IPHONE AND THEN HOW IT BASICALLY DESIGNED IT AND ALL OF ITS APPS TO EXCLUDE COMPETITORS FROM BEING ABLE TO EVEN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT WOULD

REMOTELY COMPETE WITH IT. WE WALK THROUGH IN THIS LAWSUIT, IT’S ABOUT 80 PAGES AND THEY’RE JOINED BY 14 OTHER STATES AND DISTRICT PAGES. AND THEY REALLY WALK THROUGH HOW THE APPLE BASICALLY DESIGNED ITS PLATFORMS TO EXCLUDE OTHER PEOPLE FROM BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE. LIKE WHENEVER YOU PICK UP YOUR IPHONE AND YOU’RE

COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEBODY ON ANDROID, YOU KNOW THAT GREEN TEXT BUBBLE POPS UP AND THEY ALSO THE AG REMARKED DURING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY HOW IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO GET VIDEOS FROM AN ANDROID OR SEND VIDEOS FROM YOUR IPHONE TO OTHER PEOPLE. SO BASICALLY IT INCENTIVIZES PEOPLE TO COME OVER TO APPLE

AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS ALL PART OF AN UNLAWFUL PRACTICE TO BUILD UP THIS MONOPOLY. >> SO, ELIZABETH, WHAT COULD THE LAWSUIT MEAN FOR SMARTPHONE USERS, YOU THINK? RIGHT. SO THE MAIN TAKEAWAY AS FAR AS WHAT IT WILL MEAN IMMINENTLY IS IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME

FOR THESE CHANGES TO GO INTO EFFECT. AND THAT’S BECAUSE APPLE IS VOWING TO VIGOROUSLY FIGHT THIS. IT’S DISPUTING THE ALLEGATIONS, BUT IT IS TO POINT OUT THAT SOME OF THIS IDEA THAT REGULATORS ARE GOING AFTER HOW YOU WOULD INTERACT WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE, I DO THINK THIS WILL RESONATE WITH A

LOT OF USERS OUT THERE. ALEX TALKED ABOUT THAT GREEN BUBBLE. THERE’S ALSO THE FACT THAT IF YOU’RE IN THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM, YOU WOULD NEED THE APPLE WATCH TO RELY ON ICLOUD TO ALSO INTERACT WITH YOUR IPOD IN YOUR IPHONE. SO THE QUESTION IF THIS AS IT GOES THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS,

WOULD IT ULTIMATELY BECOME EASIER DOWN THE LINE TO SEPARATE OUT THOSE DIFFERENT UNITS SO THAT YOU HAVE THEM INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER? A LOT OF ANALYSTS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD CALL APPLE’S APPROACH A WALLED GARDEN. AND THE IDEA IS MAYBE SOME OF THOSE WALLS WILL NEED TO COME DOWN WITH TIME KYRA.

SO, ALEX, ARE APPLE PRODUCTS ACTUALLY MENTIONED BY NAME? >> I MEAN, THEY MENTIONED THE IWATCH. WELL, IN COORDINATION WITH THE IDEA THAT APPLE HAS BASICALLY DESIGNED ALL OF ITS APPS AND DEVICES TO BE REALLY KIND OF EXCLUSIVELY WORK WITH THE IPHONE. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS ALSO LIKE THE APPS LIKE

WHATSAPP, THEY SAY THAT BASICALLY APPLE CREATED THIS SYSTEM WHERE IT DOESN’T INCENTIVIZES COMPANIES TO CREATE MESSENGER BASED PLATFORMS SO PEOPLE COULD COMMUNICATE EASILY BETWEEN DIFFERENT DEVICES AND DIFRENT SMARTPHONES. THINK THAT WHAT THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO EXPOSE APPLE HERE FOR IS NOT JUST ITS IPHONE BUT ALL OF THESE OTHER APPS

AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT THEY’VE COME UP IN THEIR LONG HISTORY. THEY SAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO WALL OFF AND BASICALLY CREATE NO COMPETITION. >> SO ELIZABETH, WHAT DO YOU THINK. I MEAN COULD THIS FORCE APPLE TO CHANGE ITS BUSINESS MODEL NOW AND IS APPLE SAYING ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO ALL

OF THIS AS IT BREAKS? AND HERE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD HERE. I MEAN, APPLE HAS A MARKET CAP OF TWO AND A HALF PLUS TRILLION DOLLARS. SO IF IT HAS TO CHANGE ITS BUSINESS, THAT IS A BIG DEAL WHEN YOU LOOK AT JUST

HOW MUCH THESE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT GENERATE IN REVENUE. >> THE IPHONE ALONE IS MORE THAN $200 BILLION EVERY YEAR. SO APPLE, I’M IN ITS STATEMENT IS STRONGLY DISPUTING THIS. IT SAYS IT DISAGREES WITH THE FACTS OF THIS CASE. IT PLANS TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT AND ULTIMATELY SAYS SOME OF

THESE CHANGES, IF THEY HAD TO GO INTO EFFECT, WOULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON USERS WHO THEY SAY LOVE THE WAY THAT ITS PRODUCTS WORK HERE. ALL RIGHT. >> WE’RE GOING TO DEFINITELY FOLLOW THIS THROUGH, SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND IF INDEED ALEX OR ALEX APPLE SAYS ANYTHING MORE. I KNOW ALEX WILL.

>> SO ARE YOU, ELIZABETH. THANK YOU BOTH. SO AS A CRITICAL CONVERSATION IS PLACE IN CAIRO RIGHT NOW, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN IS OVERSEAS MEETING WITH THE EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER AS THE U.S. AMPS CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS AND SECURE THE RELEASE OF ALL REMAINING

HOSTAGES WHILE BRINGING MORE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO GAZA AND THE PUSH FOR A CEASE FIRE COMING AT A CRUCIAL TIME. THE U.N. NOW WARNING OF TOTAL FAMINE IN THE NORTHERN OF THE GAZA STRIP BY MAY UNLESS A CEASE FIRE DOES HAPPEN. BUT EVEN WITH THE MOUNTING PRESSURE, ISRAEL CONTINUES

TO STRIKE AREAS IN THE NORTH, INCLUDING AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL, WHERE THE IDF IS CONDUCTING PRECISE OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY. THEY SAY AT THE MEDICAL COMPLEX . OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IS IN LONDON. SO, TOM, ABC NEWS HAS NOW SEEN THIS DRAFT OF A NEW U.S. RESOLUTION SET TO GO BEFORE THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL

CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE. THE U.S. HAS SET OUT ITS POSITION ON HIM ON THE POTENTIAL OF HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE FOUR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. SO WHAT’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS ROUND? >> WELL, CAROL, THE FIRST IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE THAT THE U.S. IS NOW PUSHING FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE IN THIS

DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT IS SET TO GO BEFORE THE U.N., U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL. THE SECOND DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE U.S. IS NOW PUSHING FOR A SUSTAINED CEASE FIRE. AND IF YOU LOOK BACK WHEN THE U.S. VETOED ON THREE OCCASIONS DRAFT RESOLUTION PUT BY OTHER COUNTRIES, THE U.S. POSITION BACK THEN WAS THAT IT

WANTED A TEMPORARY, EVEN A PAUSE IN THE FIGHTING. >> AND THEN THE OTHER KEY DIFFERENCE IN THE HERE AND IT’S REALLY KIND OF DOWN TO PRECISE WORDING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IS THE DRAFT RESOLUTION THE U.S. IS PUTTING FORWARD NOW, DOESN’T SEEM TO TIE DIRECTLY THIS IMMEDIATE, SUSTAINED CEASE

FIRE IT’S CALLING FOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES. IT DOES TALK ABOUT AMBITION TO RELEASE ALL OF THE HOSTAGES FROM GAZA AS PART OF A CONTINUING PROCESS. THAT SAID, U.S. OFFICIALS TELL ABC THAT IS A KEY GOAL FOR THE U.S. AND PART OF ITS POSITION.

SO IT IS VERY MUCH PART OF THE TALKS BEHIND THE SCENES. >> SO THAT OPERATION THAT WAS CARRIED OFF BY THE IDF, THERE AT AL-SHIFA, IS IT STILL ONGOING EVEN WITH ALL THE PRESSURE MOUNTING? >> IT’S ONGOING. IT’S WINDING DOWN. I NOW I MEAN, THIS OPERATION AT AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL HAS BEEN

GOING ON FOR THREE DAYS. IT’S IN THE NORTH OF GAZA. THAT’S WHERE THAT’S THE MOST CRITICAL HUMANITARIAN SITUATION ON THE GROUND AND RISING CALLS ABOUT THREAT OF FAMINE IN PARTICULAR AREAS AROUND THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, ANY MILITARY OPERATION AROUND A HOSPITAL THROUGHOUT THIS WAR HAS BEEN HUGELY CONTROVERSIAL. THE IDF NOW SAYING THEY’VE

ARRESTED AROUND 600 SUSPECTS. THEY’RE SAYING THEY’VE KILLED, IN THEIR WORDS, AROUND ABOUT 150 TERRORISTS, ALTHOUGH THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITIES IN GAZA LINKED TO HAMAS SAY THAT MANY CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THAT OPERATION. AND IT’S INTERESTING, OF COURSE, ISRAEL MOVED INTO THE AL-SHIFA COMPLEX BACK IN NOVEMBER. IT TOOK CONTROL OF IT.

IT TOOK JOURNALISTS FROM ABC DOWN INTO THE TUNNELS UNDERNEATH THERE. AND NOW IT SEEMS THAT THERE HAS A THREAT ONCE AGAIN. BUT IT SHOWS THAT EVEN WHEN ISRAEL TAKES TERRITORY, IT DOESN’T STOP. >> HAMAS RE INFILTRATING THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN THE PAST. >> TOM, THANK YOU.

ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW, THE RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS OUT OF HAITI AS ARMED GANGS CONTINUE TO RAVAGE THEIR OWN COUNTRY, FIGHTING FOR POWER. NEW IMAGES THIS HOUR OF THE HARROWING RESCUES THE U.S. IN HELICOPTERS TRYING TO EVACUATE MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE STATE DEPARTMENT THEN THOSE

CITIZENS ON FLIGHTS BACK TO THE U.S.. CAMERAS CAPTURING OF THE EMOTIONAL REUNIONS OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA. FOR THAT, WE WANT TO BRING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, SELINA WANG. ALSO, OUR PHIL LIPOFF. SALLY, LET’S START WITH YOU AND TELL US ABOUT THESE FLIGHTS THAT WERE CHARTERED BY THE STATE.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HOW THEY WERE CARRIED OUT AND HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE? >> SO HERE ARE THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT THEY ARE PLANNING A SERIES OF FLIGHTS TO EVACUATE U.S. CITIZENS OUT OF HAITI’S CAPITAL. THEY ESTIMATE THAT MORE THAN 30 U.S. CITIZENS CAN BE EVACUATED THROUGH THIS

METHOD PER DAY. BUT IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THIS CAN GO ON FOR OFFICIALS SAY IT DEPENDS ON THE SECURITY SITUATION ON THE GROUND, THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE COMMERCIAL CHARTERS AND THE DEMAND FROM. NOW, THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT AS OF NOW, NEARLY 1600 AMERICANS HAVE REGISTERED WITH THE STATE

DEPARTMENT ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO LEAVE HAITI. AND HERE THE WHITE HOUSE, THEY’RE STRESSING HERE THAT THE U.S. HAS HAD A DO NOT TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR HAITI SINCE 2020, PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY CAUSED THE GANGS AND THEIR VIOLENCE. OFFICIALS ALSO STRESSING THAT THE U.S. CANNOT GUARANTEE

THE EVACUATION OF ALL CITIZENS . >> SO, PHIL, THE REUNIONS OF FAMILIES HAVE BEEN SO EMOTIONAL BACK HERE IN THE U.S. FOR SURE. >> YEAH, HERE. I MEAN, IMAGINE THE STRESS OF WATCHING THE HORRIFIC AND VIOLENT IMAGES ON TV, KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE THERE IN THE LINE OF FIRE

AT THE REUNION YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LAST NIGHT. WE SPOKE WITH A FATHER WHO WAS DESPERATELY WAITING TO GET HIS TWO YEAR OLD SON OUT OF THAT COUNTRY, LITTLE JULIA AND GOT OFF THE PLANE LAST NIGHT WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHO’VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF HAITI FOR DAD.

AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE, THE WAIT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER. >> IT TOOK ABOUT TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. SO THE DAYS WERE TURNING INTO, WEEKS AND WEEKS WERE TURNING INTO MONTHS, BUT WERE GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE. >> JUST IMAGINE THE RELIEF, KYRA. YOU KNOW, AS A MOM, WHEN

A CHILD IS IN DANGER, THERE’S JUST ABOUT NOTHING YOU WON’T DO TO PROTECT THEM. BUT IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET BACK INTO HAITI. YOU SAW THAT SO MANY WAS A TRAVEL, YOU KNOW, TRAVEL WARNING FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. >> AND NOW THERE’S NO WAY

TO GET IN WHATSOEVER. SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THAT MADE THE WAIT MUCH LONGER OR AT LEAST SEEM MUCH LONGER, TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. >> OH, PHIL, I KNOW IT WOULD SEEM LIKE JUST WATCHING THEM GRAB ON TO THOSE PRECIOUS LITTLE BABIES MAKES YOUR HEART SING. SELINA PHIL, YOU BOTH SO MUCH.

>> SO LETITIA JAMES TELLS TRUMP, NOT SO FAST. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL URGING, AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CLAIM THAT SECURING BOND IS A PRACTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO PAY NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLARS CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY. IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE

SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY MONDAY. JAMES BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER OLIVIA RUBIN. SO, ERIN, WE’RE LEARNING THAT JUDGE ARTHUR ENGORON HAS IMPOSED THIS MONITOR OVER THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION NOW

AS PART OF THE JUDGMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE TRUMP TO PAY HIS NEARLY HALF BILLION DOLLAR PENALTY. WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT WILL WORK? THIS IS A MONITOR THAT’S BASICALLY SENT IN BY THE COURT TO, OVERSEE THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION’S FINANCES. AND IT MEANS IT REALLY LIMITS

TRUMP’S ABILITY TO MANEUVER HIS MONEY AND HIS PHYSICAL ASSETS AS HE LOOKS TO SECURE THIS BOND TO GUARANTEE HE CAN PAY THE NEARLY HALF BILLION CIVIL FRAUD JUDGMENT. ANYTHING THAT HE WANTS TO DO IF HE WANTS TO SOMETHING, SELL SOMETHING, RESTRUCTURE SOMETHING THAT WILL ALL TO GO THROUGH A MONITOR TO MAKE

SURE IT’S ON THE UP AND UP AND MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY DISCLOSED. >> SO LET ME ADD, TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY THAT MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN. NO SURPRISE THAT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN HAS FUNDRAISED FUNDRAISING OFF THIS BOND NOW. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY ALL THOSE COMPANIES TURNED HIM

DOWN? DO THEY NOT TRUST HIM? WELL, IT COULD BE THAT. IT COULD BE THAT IT IS SUCH MASSIVE AMOUNT AS TRUMP SAYS THAT NO COMPANY WANTS TO DO IT AS JUST SAID, HE’S FUNDRAISING OFF OF THIS. HE SENT OUT MULTIPLE EMAILS REFERENCING WHAT THE AG GAME SAID TO OUR OWN AARON KATERSKY

,WHICH IS THAT SHE IS WILLING TO START SEIZING ASSETS. AND TRUMP HAS BEEN SENDING OUT EMAILS SAYING HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER. THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE MY APP. SO HE’S MAKING IT A POLITICAL CRY AND USING IT AS ANOTHER TO SEEM AS THOUGH HE’S BEING UNFAIRLY PROSECUTED AND DEMOCRAT ATTORNEY GENERAL

IS COMING AFTER HIS ASSETS UNFAIRLY. THAT’S HOW HE’S TRYING TO SPIN THIS. BUT HE’S ALSO TAKING ISSUE WITH THE WAY THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO COME UP WITH THIS MONEY BECAUSE THE BOND COMPANIES WON’T HELP HIM OUT WITH A BOND. HE’S SAYING IF I HAVE TO START

SELLING OFF ASSETS TO PUT UP THE MONEY. AND THEN I WENT APPEAL, THEN I CAN’T GET THOSE ASSETS BACK. SO HE’S TAKING ISSUE SORT OF WITH THE PLAY BY PLAY HERE, REALLY SAYING HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PUT UP THE MONEY UNTIL THE RESULTS OF THE APPEAL ARE COMPLETE.

AND THAT IS PART OF HE’S BEEN ZEROING IN ON HERE. SO, ERIN, COME MONDAY, THEN, IF TRUMP DOESN’T PAY UP. LETITIA JAMES, I MEAN, I WAS READING ABOUT THIS CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE FREEZES, BANK ACCOUNTS, EVEN COLLECT RENT FROM HIS BUILDING’S TENANTS, REQUEST AUCTIONING OFF HIS PROPERTIES.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS FAR BIGGER THAN JUST, OKAY, I’M GOING TO TAKE SOME OF YOUR BUILDINGS. OH, POTENTIALLY. COULD BE, KYRA. LOOK, THIS IS A TYPICAL WAY THAT STATES WILL TRY ENFORCE CIVIL PENALTIES. REMEMBER, O.J. SIMPSON HAD HIS HEISMAN TROPHY SEIZED AND AUCTIONED OFF SO THAT HE

COULD OFF THE FAMILY OF HIS OF HIS WIFE AFTER THE MURDER. SO THIS IS COMMON NOW. IT’S NOT LIKE THE ISSUE. JAMES IS GOING TO BE THERE WITH A PADLOCK AND A STICKER AT THE DOOR OF TRUMP TOWER, BUT SHE CAN START TO INITIATE DIFFERENT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS LIKE LEANNE’S FORECLOSURES,

WHICH WOULD BEGIN A RATHER LONG AND SLOW PROCESS OF TRYING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF HIS ASSETS. WE’LL FOLLOW IT. IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE OR ON MONDAY AND EVEN AFTER MONDAY. ERIN. OLIVIA, THANK YOU. >> SO IT MAY BE SPRING, BUT DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE

IT SURE DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT. A MAJOR STORM IS NOW ON THE MOVE, THREATENING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FROM THE MIDWEST TO NEW ENGLAND. HEAVY SNOW ALREADY SLAMMING OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, PARTS OF THAT STATE UNDER A WINTER STORM WATCH INTO THE WEEKEND. 11 STATES FROM MONTANA TO MAINE ALSO UNDER SNOW ALERTS TODAY.

METEOROLOGIST MELISSA GRIFFIN IS TRACKING THE FORECAST. SAY IT AIN’T SNOW, MELISSA. THAT’S RIGHT CAROL. >> SERIOUSLY. AND SAY IT AIN’T A BLIZZARD IN MAINE. LOOK AT THIS THIS MORNING, BLIZZARD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED IN PARTS OF NORTHERN MAINE. >> IF YOU’RE THERE, YOU’RE EXPERIENCING 50 MILE PER HOUR GUSTS AND SNOW

ACCUMULATION WINDS UP TO A FOOT. REALLY NOT FEELING LIKE SPRING THERE. AND ALSO WE’RE TRACKING SEVERE WEATHER. SO IT IS FEELING LIKE SPRING IN TEXAS BECAUSE THE AREA UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH JUST SOUTH OF HOUSTON. >> BUT HEAVY RAIN MAKING ITS WAY INTO LOUISIANA AS WELL. THAT’S THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING ABC NEWS LY AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE STREAMING NEWS. REPORTING FROM THE TARMAC OF LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. I’M TREVOR AULT. WHEREVER THE STORY IS,

WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE. YOU’RE STREAMING. ABC NEWS. WHAT RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE. PUSHING FOR A CEASE FIRE. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN MOMENTS AWAY FROM DELIVERING REMARKS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER. WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE LIVE. HAITI IN CRISIS. AMERICANS AIRLIFTED OUT OF THE COUNTRY LANDING FLORIDA

AS GANGS RULE THE STREETS AND A HUNGER CRISIS LOOMS. WHAT’S NEXT FOR MORE AMERICANS STILL CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE? AND JUGGLING IS NO JOKE. YOU MAY BE FOLLOWED AND ROBBED AFTER, LEAVING THE ATM. THE NATIONWIDE WARNING AND WHAT YOU NEED KNOW. AND GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS.

OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR, CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS TAKING PLACE IN CAIRO RIGHT? SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN MEETING WITH THE EGYPTIAN MINISTER AS THE U.S. AMPS UP CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN AND HAMAS, AIMING TO ALSO SECURE THE RELEASE OF ALL REMAINING WHILE BRINGING MORE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO GAZA AND THE PUSH FOR

A CEASE FIRE COMING AT A CRUCIAL TIME. THE U.N. NOW WARNING OF TOTAL FAMINE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE GAZA STRIP. BY MAY UNLESS A CEASE FIRE TAKES PLACE. BUT EVEN THE MOUNTING PRESSURE ISRAEL CONTINUING TO STRIKE AREAS IN THE NORTH, INCLUDING AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL WHERE THE IDF IS CONDUCTING PRECISE

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY AT THE MEDICAL COMPLEX. OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TOM SOUFI BURRIDGE IS IN LONDON, ALONG WITH NATIONAL SECURITY AND DEFENSE ANALYST MICK MULROY. SO TOM, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND NOW SAYING THAT THIS EVACUATION OF THE SOUTHERN CITY OF RAQQA WOULD TAKE WEEKS. WHERE EXACTLY WOULD THEY GO? YEAH, THESE ARE COMMENTS FROM

GENERAL MICHAEL CARRIER. >> I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE HEARD A U.S. OFFICIAL ACTUALLY PUT A POTENTIAL TIMEFRAME ON HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE MOVE MORE THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS OUT OF THE SOUTH. NOW, THE ISRAELI, KYRA, HAVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD CREATE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS,

AS THEY PUT IT, IN THE CENTER OF GAZA, THAT WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE. GENERAL CORELLA. BASICALLY SAYING THAT HE HASN’T HAD ASSURANCES, ISRAELI OFFICIALS, ABOUT EXACTLY WHERE THOSE AREAS WOULD BE PUTTING TIMEFRAME ON IT. AND REMEMBER, THE U.S. IS REALLY WEIGHING IN ON ISRAEL, SAYING DON’T INTO

RAPPORT IN A SERIOUS WAY ON THE GROUND MILITARILY UNTIL YOU FIND A CREDIBLE PLAN TO PROTECT THAT MASSIVE CIVILIAN POPULATION IN THAT AREA. AND THE WHITE HOUSE STILL SAYING THEY SEEN THAT PLAN YET. >> ALL RIGHT. SO BLINKEN IN EGYPT RIGHT NOW AND MOMENTS AWAY FROM DELIVERING REMARKS, THE EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER,

AS WE’RE LEARNING THESE DETAILS ABOUT U.S. RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE. WHAT CAN YOU TELL US, TOM? >> WELL, LOOK, I MEAN, THIS IS THE LATEST TOLD BY ANTHONY BLINKEN INTO THE MIDDLE EAST. HE’S BEEN IN SAUDI ARABIA. NOW HE’S IN EGYPT. I MEAN, THE IMMEDIATE PRIORITY

IS TO TRY AND GET A CEASE FIRE DEAL. WE KNOW THAT THE DIRECTOR OF THE CIA, ACCORDING TO SOURCES, WILL BE IN QATAR FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF TALKS WITH OTHER KEY MEDIATORS PUSHING TOWARDS THAT. BUT I ANTHONY BLINKEN, ON THIS TRIP, HE’S ALSO LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE.

>> THE U.S. IS ALSO NOW CONSIDERING WHAT NEXT, LIKE WHAT COMES AFTER THE WAR AND THAT IS PART OF THE NEGOTIATION ON A CEASEFIRE. YOU KNOW, IT IS PART OF TRYING TO KIND OF TURN THE ISRAELIS INTO GOING A CEASE FIRE. OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD INVOLVE THE HOSTAGES BEING RELEASED.

THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THIS UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION, DRAFT RESOLUTION FROM THE U.S.. BUT THE US, THE BIGGER PICTURE, THE SAUDIS, FOR EXAMPLE, WOULD BE KEY. THE U.S. AND OTHER MEDIATORS ARE DEFINITELY PUSHING FOR THE SAUDIS TO NORMALIZE RELATIONS WITH THE ISRAELIS AS PART OF A WIDER DEAL. BUT THAT’S COMPLICATED.

THE SAUDIS WANT DEMANDS. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY’RE TALKING TO THE US A POTENTIAL NUCLEAR DEAL, A POTENTIAL DEAL WHICH WOULD INVOLVE NEW WEAPONRY SUPPLIED TO THE SAUDIS. THAT IS THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE TALKS. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S CRITICAL NOT ONLY TO GET PEACE INTO GAZA, TO ADDRESS THE FAMINE ON THE GROUND, BUT ALSO

TO SECURE WIDER PEACE IN THE REGION. >> SO, MICK, HOW MUCH SWAY DO YOU THINK BLINKEN STILL HAS IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS? HAS BEEN OVERSEAS SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ISRAEL IS JUST ACTING IN SPITE OF U.S. RECOMMENDATIONS SECURE ? >> I THINK SECRETARY BLINKEN, THE UNITED STATES OVERALL DOES

HAVE A LOT OF SWAY WHERE ONE OF THEIR MOST SIGNIFICANT SECURITY PARTNERS, AND I THINK THAT OUTLASTS PARTICULAR POLITICAL FIGURE AS A COUNTRY. THE COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP. >> AND I DO THINK, OF COURSE, THIS IS ULTIMATELY COMING DOWN TO A DECISION MADE BY HAMAS AND A DECISION BY ISRAEL

ON WHAT IS IN THEIR INTEREST. THE UNITED STATES GOING TO, OF COURSE, INFLUENCE THAT, BUT ULTIMATELY IS NOT MAKING THOSE THOSE DECISIONS. >> AND WHEN IT COMES TO THIS POTENTIAL OFFENSIVE, I THINK ISRAEL IS GOING TO SEND AN ENVOY TO THE UNITED STATES TO DISCUSS HOW TO DO THIS IN A

WAY THAT DOESN’T HARM MORE CIVILIANS, GETS THEM INTO THESE SAFE HAVEN TYPE HUMANITARIAN ISLANDS. TOM REFERRED TO THEM. AND IT ALSO DOES GET TO THE POINT OF DESTROYING HAMAS MILITARILY BECAUSE THERE’S ABOUT BATTALIONS THEY BELIEVE LEFT IN RAFAH THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THIS CAN BE AN

END TO MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS. >> ALL RIGHT. AGAIN, WE’RE MONITORING THOSE LIVE PICTURES, JUST WAITING FOR BLINKEN AND THE EGYPTIAN PRIME MINISTER TO STEP TO THE THERE. WE WILL LISTEN TO THOSE REMARKS LIVE. I KNOW MICK AND TOM YOU WILL AS WELL. WE’LL BRING YOU BACK AND TALK

ABOUT WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY. SEE ANYTHING WAS PUSHED FORWARD. ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW, THE RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS OUT OF HAITI AS ARMED GANGS TAKE CONTROL OF THE STREETS. AND A HUNGER CRISIS NOW LOOMS. WE ARE GETTING A LOOK AT VIDEO THIS HOUR OF THE HARROWING RESCUES.

THE U.S. SENDING IN HELICOPTERS, EVACUATING MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN. THE STATE DEPARTMENT THEN PUTTING THOSE CITIZENS ON FLIGHTS BACK TO THE U.S.. CAMERAS CAPTURING THE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS AS FAMILIES WERE REUNITED OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, SELINA WANG. ALSO, OUR PHIL LIPOFF SO

SELINA, TELL US ABOUT THESE FLIGHTS THAT WERE CHARTERED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THEM? WHO EXACTLY WAS ABOARD THOSE FLIGHTS AND HOW LONG THE FLIGHTS COULD CONTINUE YET HERE WILL. >> THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY’RE PLANNING A SERIES, THESE FLIGHTS, TO EVACUATE U.S. CITIZENS FROM HAITI’S CAPITAL.

IN TERMS HOW LONG IT’S GOING TO LAST, THEY SAY IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE SECURITY SITUATION, ON GROUND, THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE CHARTER PLANES AND AS WELL THE DEMAND FROM AMERICANS THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT AS OF NOW NEARLY 1600 AMERICANS HAVE REGISTERED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT

TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET OUT OF HAITI. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS EXPECTATION IS THAT MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS WILL BE ABLE TO EVACUATE FROM CAPITAL PER DAY ON THESE CHARTER FLIGHTS. NOW, THE WHITE HOUSE REITERATING THAT THE U.S. HAS HAD A DO NOT TRAVEL ADVISORY TO HAITI

2020 PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THIS ONGOING INSTABILITY CAUSED BY THE GAMES. THESE U.S. OFFICIALS ARE ALSO STRESSING THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ALL U.S. CITIZENS WILL BE EVACUATED OUT OF HAITI BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY AND SECURITY CHALLENGES. >> PHIL, TELL US ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL REUNIONS. WELL, WE SOME JUST LAST NIGHT

IT’S REALLY HARD TO THINK ABOUT HERE. A LOVED ONE BEING THERE IN A PLACE WHERE GANGS AND VIOLENCE HAVE TAKEN OVER FOOD, WATER IS SCARCE AND YOU CAN’T GET THERE TO HELP. YOU JUST CAN’T THERE. AND THAT IS THE REALITY FOR SO MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GET LOVED

ONES OUT OF HAITI. >> AT A REUNION OF SOME OF THOSE AMERICAN FAMILIES LAST NIGHT, GRATEFUL SEEMS LIKE AN UNDERSTATEMENT FOR SURE. >> ONE DAD. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES AND THEY DIDN’T GIVE UP. THEY STAYED WITH US UNTIL. THE END OF THE MISSION, WHICH

I CAN HELP YOU SAY IT WAS A MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AND REUNITED WITH JULIAN, OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON. YEAH, IT WAS TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. AND AS ANY PARENT WOULD RECOGNIZE, THAT’S TWO AND A HALF WEEKS, WAY TOO LONG. WHEN YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR TWO YEAR OLD SON TO COME

BACK FROM AN ATMOSPHERE LIKE THAT. YOU COULD SEE IT ON HIS FACE. >> CARE MUST HAVE FELT LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD WAS LIFTED OFF HIS SHOULDERS. >> ALL RIGHT, SELINA, PHIL, THANK YOU BOTH. SO LETITIA JAMES TELLS DONALD TRUMP NOT SO FAST, BUDDY. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL

URGING AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CLAIM THAT SECURING A BOND IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED HIM PAY NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY. IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY MONDAY, JAMES CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND EVEN SEIZE

HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE OLIVIA RUBIN. SO, ERIN, LET’S TALK ABOUT JUST THE LATEST ON LETITIA JAMES ACTUALLY MOVING TO TAKE POSSESSION OF TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF COURSE NOW. WHAT DO KNOW? >> THIS IS SOMETHING OF A

BABY STEP, BUT AN INITIAL STEP BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO TRY AND POTENTIALLY SEIZE PROPERTIES IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY. THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT CAME IN MANHATTAN. SO IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS TO TAKE POSSESSION OF ANY OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES, IF HE GET THE BOND IN WESTCHESTER

COUNTY, THEN SHE NEEDED TO FILE THE JUDGMENT THERE. >> AND THAT’S WHAT SHE HAS DONE. SO IT’S AT AN INITIAL INDICATION THAT SHE’S THINKING ABOUT IT, WE SHOULD SAY. I DON’T THINK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS TO BE IN THE GOLF COURSE BUSINESS, NOR DOES SHE WANT TO START OWNING HIS SEVEN SPRINGS ESTATE.

THIS PRIVATE ESTATE IN BEDFORD IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. BUT SHE COULD TAKE SOME OF THE REVENUE FROM THE GOLF COURSE THAT IT GENERATES AND STEER IT TOWARDS STATE COFFERS TO HELP PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT SHOULD TRUMP LOSE HIS APPEAL. AND THESE ARE THAT SHE’S GOING TO BE DOING AS SOON AS MONDAY.

IF TRUMP FAILS, SECURE THE BOND. >> SO, OLIVIA, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS THEN AS THE MONDAY MONDAY DEADLINE APPROACHES? >> I THINK AS WE HEARD ERIN JUST LEAVE OFF RIGHT THERE, IS THAT TRUMP HAS TO SECURE THIS BOND BY MONDAY. AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FUNDRAISING

IS REALLY HE IS JUST SLAMMING EFFORTS THAT HE HAS PURSUED TO TRY TO GET THIS BOND PUT UP. WE KNOW HE WENT TO OVER 30 DIFFERENT COMPANIES. THEY WERE BOOKED HIS EFFORTS. AND NOW WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ZONING IN ON IS THE VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT HE COULD

HAVE TO OR SELL OFF SOME ASSETS TO COME UP WITH CASH TO BE ABLE TO PUT UP FOR THIS BOND. AND THAT’S NOT AN OPTION THAT HE LIKES BECAUSE HE HAS SAID IF THIS RULING SHOULD GET OVERTURNED ON APPEAL, THOSE ASSETS ARE GONE, HE CAN’T GET THEM BACK.

SO THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY HE’S TRYING TO PUSH TO NOT HAVE TO PUT AS MUCH FOR ANYTHING UP UNTIL AFTER THE APPEAL TO TRY TO PRESERVE SOME OF THOSE ASSETS PRESERVED WELL IN CASE IT SHOULD GET OVERTURNED. BUT REALLY, IT’S A TIME FRONTIER. HE’S GOT TO FIGURE OUT

SOMETHING BY MONDAY. ALL RIGHT. IT’S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING WEEKEND, ERIN. OLIVIA, THANK YOU. SO A NEW LAWSUIT SAYS THAT TECH GIANT IS ROTTEN FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, A NEW ANTITRUST LAWSUIT ACCUSING THE COMPANY OF CREATING ILLEGAL MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK

GARLAND SAYING TODAY THE COMPANY HAS MAINTAINED ITS POWER THROUGH ANTI-CAMPING NATIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT. WE’RE JOINED NOW BY OUR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REPORTER ALEX MALLIN. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT THE DOJ IS ACCUSING APPLE OF DOING HERE. >> YEAH, WELL WE KNOW HOW DOMINANT IPHONES HAVE BECOME IN AMERICAN CULTURE

AND LIFE AND BASICALLY ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND AND SENIOR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS ARE ALLEGING IN THIS ROUGHLY 80 PAGE LAWSUIT THAT IN ORDER TO BECOME THAT DOMINANT, ENGAGE IN UNLAWFUL MONOPOLISTIC CONDUCT, BASICALLY TO ICE OUT COMPETITORS AT EVERY STEP. YOU THINK ABOUT WHENEVER YOU OPEN YOUR TEXTS AND YOU

PULL UP A MESSAGE WITH SOMEBODY WHO’S, AN ANDROID USER. ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND SINGLED OUT THAT GREEN BUBBLE THAT THE TAX COMES INTO. THAT’S KIND OF WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO SAY IS DELIBERATE CONDUCT BY APPLE TO TRY AND STEER USERS OF OTHER SMARTPHONES AWAY FROM THOSE AND STRAIGHT TO THE IPHONE.

>> ALL RIGHT, ALEX, WE GOT TO TAKE IT OVERSEAS NOW. >> SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. WE’VE GOT THE LIVE PICTURES. THERE WE GO. OF COURSE, TALKING ABOUT THE DEAL HE’S TRYING TO MAKE OVERSEAS FOR A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS

AND ALSO GETTING THOSE HOSTAGES HOME. IN MY TRAVELS TO THE REGION, WE’VE INTENSIVELY WITH ALL OF OUR VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS FROM, SAUDI ARABIA, FROM EGYPT, FROM JORDAN, FROM THE UAE, FROM QATAR, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY. BUT VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE FOREIGN MINISTER HOSTING TODAY’S MEETING WITH THE ARAB FOREIGN MINISTERS.

I’VE BEEN MEETING AND SPEAKING INDIVIDUALLY TO THEM OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT IT WAS VERY GOOD TO BE TOGETHER, TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONVENE AS A GROUP TO SHARE VIEWS ON WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE NEED TO GO AND HOW WE CAN BEST GET THERE. AND THERE’S A CLEAR CONSENSUS

AROUND A NUMBER OF SHARED PRIORITIES. FIRST, THE NEED FOR AN SUSTAINED CEASEFIRE WITH THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES THAT WOULD CREATE SPACE TO SURGE MORE HUMANITARIAN, TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERING OF MANY PEOPLE, AND TO BUILD SOMETHING MORE ENDURING. WE’VE BEEN WORKING, AS YOU KNOW, WITH EGYPT, WITH QATAR AND WITH ISRAEL, TO PUT

A STRONG PROPOSAL ON THE TABLE . HAMAS RESPONDED TO THAT. NEGOTIATORS CONTINUE TO WORK. THE GAPS ARE NARROWING AND WE’RE CONTINUING PUSH FOR AN AGREEMENT IN DOHA. STILL DIFFICULT WORK TO GET THERE, BUT I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IT’S POSSIBLE. THE UNITED STATES HAS ALSO PUT FORWARD THE UNITED SECURITY

COUNCIL RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS. AND WE HOPE THAT ALL COUNTRIES WILL BACK THAT RESOLUTION. SECOND, THERE’S AN AGREEMENT, AS YOU HEARD FROM MINISTER SHOUKRY, ON THE URGENT NEED TO SURGE AND SUSTAIN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE DYING OF MALNUTRITION IN GAZA OR

ANYWHERE ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER, 100%, 100% OF THE POPULATION OF GAZA IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE LEVELS OF ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY . WE CANNOT WE MUST NOT ALLOW THAT TO CONTINUE. NOW, THE CEASE FIRE THAT WE’RE WORKING ON WOULD BE THE BEST IMMEDIATE WAY TO ENABLE US TO SURGE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.

BUT IT’S NOT THE ONLY WAY. REGARDLESS. WE HAVE TO BE DOING THAT. WE’VE SEEN SOME IMPROVEMENT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN GETTING HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO PALESTINIANS. BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH. AND AS I SAID, WE NEED TO REALLY SURGE AND SUSTAIN THE ASSISTANCE ACROSS LAND,

ACROSS SEA AND ACROSS AREAS. WE HAVE SENIOR OFFICIALS MEETING TODAY IN CYPRUS TO COORDINATE THE INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS ON THE MARITIME CORRIDOR, AND THAT INCLUDES SUPPORT FOR THE U.S. MILITARY MISSION TO A PIER, A TEMPORARY PIER AS AN ADDITIONAL CHANNEL FOR AID. BUT AS I SAID BEFORE, AND I

WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS MARITIME CORRIDOR AND THIS PIER IS A COMPLEMENT TO NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OTHER MEANS OF GETTING ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE WHO NEED IT, AND IN PARTICULAR THE LAND CROSSINGS ARE THE MOST CRITICAL MEANS OF GETTING AID TO THOSE IN NEED. AS MR. SHOUKRY SAID, WE TODAY,

ALL OF THE MINISTERS THAT WE WOULD GET OUR EXPERTS TOGETHER IN THE COMING DAYS TO IDENTIFY THE URGENT PRACTICAL AND CONCRETE STEPS THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE FLOW OF ASSISTANCE. ISRAEL NEEDS TO DO MORE. TOMORROW, I’LL BE TALKING TO OUR PARTNERS ABOUT HOW TO COORDINATE OUR EFFORTS,

AS THE FOREIGN MINISTER MENTIONED AS WELL. WE ALSO DISCUSSED RAFAH. WE ALL SHARE CONCERNS. THERE ARE MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE IN RAFAH, MANY OF WHOM WERE DISPLACED FROM OTHER PARTS OF GAZA. A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION THERE WOULD MEAN MORE CIVILIAN DEATHS. IT WOULD WORSEN THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO DEAL WITH THE THREAT, THE ONGOING THREAT POSED BY HAMAS. THIRD, WE DISCUSSED AND AGREED ON THE NEED FOR LONG TERM PEACE AND SECURITY. THIS DISCUSSION VERY MUCH CONSISTENT WITH THE PRINCIPLES THAT I LAID OUT IN TOKYO MANY MONTHS AGO. THE GAZA CANNOT BE USED AS A

PLATFORM FOR TERRORISM. THERE CAN BE NO OF ITS POPULATION. THERE CAN BE NO REOCCUPATION BY ISRAEL. AND WE ALSO AGREED THAT THIS REQUIRES A PATH TO TWO STATES WITH REAL SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR ISRAEL. IN TURN. THIS ALSO REQUIRES REAL REFORM OF THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY. AND WE’VE SEEN SOME INITIAL

STEPS IN THAT DIRECTION. MORE IS NEEDED. REVITALIZING THE P.A. WITH A BETTER, MORE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING PALESTINIANS FROM. IT’S CRITICAL TO ACHIEVING THE VISION OF A GAZA UNIFIED WITH THE WEST BANK UNDER PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY AUTHORITY . IF AND AS THE PALESTINIAN PURSUES REFORM. I’M ALSO CONVINCED THAT THE

REGION WILL STRONGLY SUPPORT REGIONAL INTEGRATION. IS ONE OF THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LASTING PEACE AND LASTING SECURITY. AND THAT INCLUDES NORMALIZATION FOR ISRAEL WITH WITH ITS NEIGHBORS. YESTERDAY, I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH SAUDI CROWN PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN, AS WELL AS WITH FOREIGN MINISTER. AND WE HAD A VERY

GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE’VE BEEN DOING FOR MANY MONTHS NOW ON NORMALIZATION. AND THAT WORK IS MOVING. WE’RE CONTINUING TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS. I BELIEVE WE CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT WHICH WOULD REPRESENT A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY FOR, TWO NATIONS, BUT ALSO FOR THE REGION AS A WHOLE.

>> SO I THINK IF YOU LOOK BACK ON THESE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE, I WAS HERE IN JANUARY, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER WITH OUR ARAB PARTNERS ON ALL OF THESE POST-CONFLICT PIECES. THERE’S NOT ONLY MORE CONSENSUS ON THE PRIORITIES. CEASEFIRE, RELEASE OF HOSTAGES, HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND A

CLEAR PATHWAY AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. I THINK THERE’S INCREASINGLY CONSENSUS ON THE STEPS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THAT. THESE ARE DIFFICULT DAYS, BUT THAT ONLY REINFORCES OUR DETERMINATION TO TO BETTER DAYS. THANK YOU. AND IT’S TIME AGAIN. >> SO I THINK THE WINDOW IS HERE NOW.

THE ROOM IS OPEN FOR TAKING TWO QUESTIONS FOR EVERY MINISTER. WE START WITH MR. SHARON FROM THE STATE NEWSPAPER, THIS THING. MY QUESTION IS FOR HIS EXCELLENCY, MR. SHOUKRY. TODAY’S MEETING IS THE THIRD MEETING BETWEEN THE MINISTERS FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF SIX COUNTRIES TO TACKLE HOW TO DEAL WITH THE THE CRISIS IN THE

GAZA STRIP. THESE, OF COURSE, INCLUDE THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN THE UNITED STATES AFTER THE VISITS OF MR. BLINKEN IN THE REGION. CAN INFORM US WITH DEEP SPACES OF AGREEMENT DISAGREEMENT ON HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS CURRENT CRISIS AND TO EXPLAIN US HOW THE POSITIONS ARE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.

AND REGARDING THE FUTURE VISION IN DEALING WITH THE EGYPTIAN THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GROUND REGARDING THE CONSENSUS AND AGREEMENT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CEASEFIRE AND HOSTAGE RELEASE, AND THIS SHOULD BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO THERE IS A ROOM FOR MITIGATION AND GRAZING

THE AMOUNT OF HUMANITARIAN AID. WE VALUE THE OF THE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION. THAT’S WHY WE DEVELOPED THIS MECHANISM AT THE LEVEL OF THE SPECIALIZED OFFICIALS IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WAYS TO INCREASE THE AID. THERE’S ALSO CONSENSUS OR AGREEMENT REGARDING THE CITY TO AVOID ANY MILITARY ESCALATION IN RAFAH AND THE

TOTAL REDUCTION FOR DISPLACEMENT OF PALESTINIANS THEIR LANDS. THIS IS A COMMON GROUND, BUT WE HAVE TO SET MECHANISMS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE GOALS. WE SHOULD GO BEYOND AND REACH ANOTHER PHASE, AN END OF OR A FOLLOWING PHASE, WHICH IS THE POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THIS CONFLICT. THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH

THE TWO STATES SOLUTION. SO WE HAVE TO TACKLE BOTH THE CURRENT ISSUES FOR THE TIME BEING AND THE FUTURE ISSUES IN ORDER TO AVOID THE VICIOUS CIRCLES OF THE CONFLICTS AND THE HERITAGE OF BLOOD THAT THE COMING GENERATIONS WILL BEAR WITH US. WE HAVE TO SET THE MECHANISMS

AND WE SHOULD BE CONFIDENT THAT IN OUR PARTNER, WHICH IS THE UNITED THAT HAS A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STATES OF THE REGION AND IS READY, ESPECIALLY WITH ISRAEL. IT HAS AN EFFECTIVE ROLE. AND OF COURSE, REGARDING ALSO THE SUPPORT TO WORK FROM THE OTHER STATES IN THE REGION

THAT HAS CONNECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. SO WE HAVE A MUTUAL REGARDING A REGION THAT ENJOYS STABILITY TO END THIS CONFLICT THAT LASTED FOR SEVEN DECADES. HAVE TO WORK AND INTENSIFY OUR WORK. IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO BE ON AN AGREEMENT REGARDING THE GOLAN. BUT WE HAVE TO SET THE PROCEDURES THE SECTOR

ACHIEVE THESE GOALS. >> ANOTHER QUESTION. MOHAMED FAHMY, THE BBC, THE OTHER DAY REUTERS HERE SAYS THEY IT’S GOING TO BE THE PROCESS THAT’S FINE. THANK YOU, MR. SECRETARY. FOREIGN MINISTER. MR. SECRETARY, YOU MENTIONED DOHA. WHILE TALKING ABOUT CEASEFIRE TALKS, CAN YOU CONFIRM CIA

CHIEF BILL BURNS IS GOING TO BE THERE? AND DO YOU THINK THESE TALKS ARE NOW IN FINAL STRETCH? YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT YOUR MEETING WITH THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE. >> WHAT PROGRESS EXACTLY HAVE YOU MADE? ARE WE CLOSE TO HAVING U.S., SAUDI CIVIL DEFENSE PACT AND COOPERATION ON CIVIL NUCLEAR AGREEMENT?

>> WHAT ARE THE REMAINING STICKING POINTS? AND ON ON RAFAH, ISRAEL’S STRATEGIC. MINISTER RON DERMER AND THE PODCAST SAID ISRAEL WILL TAKE CONTROL OF RAFAH EVEN IF IT LEADS TO A POTENTIAL BREACH WITH THE UNITED STATES. >> THESE COMMENTS, LIKE MANY MORE COMMENTS THAT WE’VE HEARD

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS ARE INCOMPLETE WITH U.S. STANCE. AND YOU’RE GOING TO ISRAEL TOMORROW. I FEEL LIKE I’VE ASKED YOU THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES, BUT I’LL TRY AGAIN. HOW WILL YOU CONVINCE AN ALLY THAT KNOWS THERE WON’T BE ANY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, EVEN IF IT IGNORES U.S. WARNINGS REPEATEDLY?

MR. FOREIGN MINISTER, WOULD YOU WOULD EGYPT ALLOW HAMAS MEMBERS TO GO THROUGH ITS TERRITORY TO DEPART FOR THIRD PARTY COUNTRIES AND SEPARATELY? YOU MUST HAVE WITHHELD $85 MILLION OF MILITARY AID TO EGYPT LAST YEAR, SAYING IT HAS CONCERNS OVER ITS HUMAN RIGHTS TRACK RECORD. HOW DO YOU FEEL THAT U.S. SEEMS

UNWILLING TO USE THE SAME LEVERAGE TO ISRAEL. DOES THAT DOUBLE STANDARD BOTHER YOU? THANK YOU. I THANK YOU. LET ME AGAIN, THANK YOU ALSO GETTING IN ALL OF YOUR COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS TO. SO FIRST OF ALL, ON DOHA, I CAN’T SPEAK TO CIA DIRECTOR. I CAN SPEAK TO THE FACT

THAT HE’S BEEN DOING AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB AND WORKING WITH OUR COUNTERPARTS, QATAR FROM EGYPT AS WELL AS FROM ISRAEL IN TRYING TO GET TO AN AGREEMENT ON A CEASEFIRE WITH THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. THE THE TEAMS ARE WORKING EVERY SINGLE DAY ON THIS. AS I SAID, THERE’S STILL REAL

CHALLENGES WITH WE CLOSE GAPS, BUT THERE ARE STILL GAPS. SO I CAN’T I CAN’T PUT A TIMELINE ON IT. I CAN JUST SAY THAT WE’RE COMMITTED TO DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO REACHING AN AGREEMENT AND THAT WORK IS ONGOING AS WE SPEAK. AND I ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY DURING THIS TRIP I’M MEETING

WITH COUNTERPARTS FROM EGYPT AND FROM QATAR TO HELP PURSUE THAT EFFORT. WITH REGARD TO SAUDI ARABIA, WHAT AGAIN, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING THE NORMALIZATION PLAN THAT WE’VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MANY MONTHS. IN FACT, WE WERE WORKING ON THIS INTENSELY BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH.

AND IN FACT, I WAS SCHEDULED TO COME TO THE REGION TO SAUDI ARABIA AND ISRAEL ON OCTOBER 10TH, PRECISELY FOR THAT REASON. AND TO ACTUALLY FOCUS ON THE PALESTINIAN COMPONENT OF THE NORMALIZATION PLAN. BUT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE NOW, WHAT I CAN SAY IS THIS WE’VE MADE VERY GOOD PROGRESS,

ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST MONTH OR SO. WE SAW SOME WORK TO DO, BUT I BELIEVE THAT, AGAIN, THE PROGRESS IS IS GOOD. IT’S REAL. I CAN’T PUT A TIMEFRAME ON IT, BUT WE ARE I THINK GETTING CLOSE TO A POINT WHERE WE ALL WILL HAVE TO AGREEMENTS ON RAFAH AGAIN.

WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR PRESIDENT BIDEN’S BEEN VERY THAT A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION IN RAFAH WOULD BE A MISTAKE, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN’T SUPPORT. THERE NO PLACE FOR THE MANY CIVILIANS WHO ARE MASKED GAZA AND RAFAH EXCUSE ME TO GO TO GET OF HARM’S WAY. AND FOR THOSE THAT WOULD

INEVITABLY REMAIN, IT WOULD IT WOULD BE A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER. BUT THERE’S ALSO A FALSE CHOICE INVOLVED HERE BECAUSE WE ARE DETERMINED, AS ISRAELIS AND INDEED AS OTHER PARTNERS IN THE REGION ARE, TO DEAL THE ONGOING PROBLEM POSED BY HAMAS, A THREAT TO TO SO MANY AND HAMAS CAN BE EFFECTIVELY DEALT

WITH WITHOUT A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION. RAFAH. AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE HAVE COUNTERPARTS FROM THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT COMING TO WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK IS PRECISELY TO FOCUS ON THAT, TO SHARE WITH THEM OUR VIEWS ON WHAT ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS COULD BE THAT WOULD DEAL WITH THE WITH THIS SIGNIFICANT

PROBLEM, BUT IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT DO FURTHER HARM TO THE CIVILIANS. WELL, RELATED TO THE QUESTION ABOUT HAMAS, WHICH IS PURELY SPECULATIVE, I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AND OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE FACT THAT ANY ARRANGEMENTS ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION, EITHER IN THE DOHA OR EGYPT ROUNDS OF DISCUSSIONS ON CESSATION

OF HOSTILITIES AND A RELEASE OF HOSTAGES AND DETAINEES. SO NOT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD COMMENT ON, BUT I WOULD ONLY REITERATE THAT EGYPT WILL DO WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE. WHATEVER IS REQUIRED TO FACILITATE A CESSATION HOSTILITIES AND AN END TO THE MILITARY ACTIVITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE SECURITY OF THE PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS

THAT HAVE LOST SO MANY LIVES. THE CHILDREN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN KILLED DURING THESE FIVE MONTHS AND THEREBY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE ACTIVELY ON ALL FRONTS. RELATED TO THE RESOLUTION OF THIS CONFLICT RELATED TO THE ISSUE OF EGYPT’S ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, OF UNITED STATES. >> SO THIS IS A BILATERAL

MATTER, AND WE HAVE IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS WHICH ADDRESSES ALL OF THE VARIOUS PARAMETERS AND OF OF THE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. AND WE HAVE A DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND THAT FACILITATES THAT. WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN TERMS OF THE MUTUAL INTEREST THAT THIS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM REPRESENTS TO BOTH COUNTRIES. BUT THE MORE BROADER ISSUE

OF DOUBLE STANDARDS. YES WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE WORLD RULES BASED ORDER IS UNDER SEVERE STRESS BECAUSE OF A PERCEPTION AND AN APPLICATION OF DOUBLE STANDARDS AS IT RELATES TO THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE IN COMPARISON TO OTHER CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD WHETHER IT IS IN TERMS OF HUMANITARIAN AID, IN TERMS

OF HUMAN RIGHTS, TERMS OF CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF INTERNATIONAL ORDER, IS THAT IN ANY CONFLICT THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE CESSATION AND HALT TO MILITARY ACTIVITY AND RESOLUTION OF CONFLICT THROUGH DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS. SO THE MORAL BASIS UPON WHICH WE CAN RELY ON WORLD ORDER

ARE BEING STRAINED CURRENTLY BECAUSE OF A SENSE IN MANY QUARTERS, AMONG THEM OURSELVES, OF MANY OF ARAB AND MUSLIM COLLEAGUES, IS THAT THERE IS AN APPLICATION OF A DOUBLE STANDARD, AND THIS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A SEVERE CHALLENGE TO OUR ABILITY TO WORK TOGETHER, TO CONTINUE COOPERATE ON A PREDICTABLE SET

OF PRINCIPLES THAT SHOULD GOVERN ALL OF OUR ACTIONS SO THAT UNDER LAST SCENARIO VERY ARISING FROM AN AREA. GOOD EVENING, EXCELLENCY. MINISTER, MY QUESTION IS FOR MR. SENATOR AND ALSO FOR MR. ANTHONY BLINKEN. WE REPEATEDLY AND EVEN YESTERDAY WE HEARD ABOUT, AS I LOOK FROM THE FROM THE ISRAELI

GOVERNMENT AND FROM THE OFFICE OF NETANYAHU, THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO ENTER RAFAH AND THERE ARE ISRAELI POLICIES ON THE GROUND THAT ESTABLISH THE DISPLACEMENT AND THE MIGRATION THAT EGYPT REFUSES FROM DAY ONE. >> THROUGH YOUR MEETING WITH MR. BLINKEN, HAVE YOU TOUCHED ANY CHANGE IN THE AMERICAN POLICIES HERE?

I DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT THE STATEMENTS THAT CONDEMN THIS. I MEAN THE POLICY WOULD THE UNITED STATES DO? WHEN YOU THINK OF ISRAEL ENTERED RAFAH, HAVE YOU STARTED ANY CHANGES IN POLICY? MY QUESTION ALSO IS FOR ALSO MR. BLINKEN, DO YOU INTEND IF ISRAEL ISRAEL ENTER RAFAH TO STOP THE EXPORT OF WEAPONS

TO ISRAEL LIKE CANADA DID AND LIKE THE GERMANY THREATENED BECAUSE? >> SOME PEOPLE SEE THAT ISRAEL IS USING THESE WEAPONS IN ORDER TO KILL CIVILIANS. WE KNOW THAT MORE THAN 32,000 CIVILIANS, 70% OF THEM WHEN CHILDREN WERE KILLED IN THIS WAR. SO DO YOU INTEND TO STOP GIVING

WEAPONS TO ISRAEL A MEANS OF PRESSURE INSTEAD OF JUST CONDEMNING? THE ISSUE OF RAFAH HAS VERY IMPORTANT LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. I WILL NOT SPEAK ON THE BEHALF OF THE MINISTER. DOMESTIC BLINKEN, BUT I CAN EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT THE STATEMENTS OF PRESIDENT BIDEN AND DEMONSTRATE IN ALL

THE OCCASIONS EMPHASIZED THE AGREEMENT VISIONS BETWEEN EACH OTHER, WHICH IS THE TOTAL REJECTION MILITARY OPERATIONS IN RAFAH, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE CURRENT HUMANITARIAN CONDITIONS AND THE RESULTANT DANGERS EITHER ON THE HUMANITARIAN LEVEL OR ON THE LEVEL OF THE ISSUE OF MIGRATION, DISPLACEMENT AND THE ENDING OF THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE AND MOVING

THE BURDEN TO OTHERS EITHER EGYPT OR JORDAN, AND ALSO THE RESULTING COMPLICATIONS IN THE REGIONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN. THIS WILL PUT LOTS OF PRESSURE FROM THE POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE REGARDING THE ABILITY TO CONTINUE THE MUTUAL ACTION AND SOLUTIONS FOR THE CHALLENGES IN AND ACTIVATING THE FULL OF THE LEGITIMATE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

I WILL GIVE THE FLOOR TO THE MINISTER SO HE CAN SPEAK ABOUT THIS, BUT WE AGREE ON THE DANGER ON HOW DANGEROUS THIS SITUATION IS AND AND HOW UNNECESSARY SHOULD AVOID IT. AND WE SHOULD TAKE ALL THE NECESSARY PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO THIS. >> THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU.

LOOK, I CAN ONLY REPEAT THAT OUR POSITION, WHICH IS VERY CLEAR, IS THAT A MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION IN RAFAH WOULD BE A MISTAKE. >> SOMETHING THAT WE DON’T SUPPORT. AND IT’S ALSO NOT NECESSARY TO DEAL WITH HAMAS, WHICH IS NECESSARY. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY NEXT WEEK TO SHARE

DETAIL THAT VIEW WITH OUR COUNTERPARTS AND TO LAY OUT OUR VIEWS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM DIFFERENTLY. SO I DON’T WANT TO GET AHEAD THAT. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE FOCUSED ON IN THE COMING DAYS. I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO HYPOTHETICALS ABOUT THE FUTURE. WE’RE FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT,

WHICH IS MEETINGS THAT WE PLAN NEXT WEEK, AGAIN, TO MAKE CLEAR WHY WE THINK IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO ENGAGE IN MAJOR MILITARY OPERATIONS IN RAFAH, BUT ALSO WHY THERE’S A FALSE CHOICE INVOLVED. IT IS POSSIBLE AND INDEED NECESSARY TO DEAL WITH ONGOING THREAT POSED BY HAMAS,

BUT WITHOUT A MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION. THAT’S WHAT WE WANT TO DISCUSS WITH OUR ISRAELI COUNTERPARTS NEXT WEEK. SO I’M HERE TO MAKE A FINAL QUESTION. MICHAEL, THANKS A LOT. MICHAEL BIRNBAUM FROM “THE WASHINGTON POST”. >> SECRETARY CLINTON, YOU’VE SPENT TODAY TALKING ABOUT POST-CONFLICT PLANS AND DETAILS A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT THE GAPS REMAIN IN YOUR WORK AND ALSO THOSE ALL DEPEND ON ISRAEL’S WILLINGNESS TO AGREE TO A PALESTINIAN STATE EVENTUALLY. >> PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU HAS A LONG HISTORY OF EXTREME SKEPTICISM. THERE OTHERS IN HIS CABINET WHO SEEM TOTALLY OPPOSED. SO WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR CONVINCING THE ISRAELIS

TO AGREE TO THIS, GIVEN THAT THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD DURING THIS CONFLICT OF REJECTING MOST OF YOUR VERY BIG PROPOSALS? >> AND THE QUESTION ABOUT AID AND YOU KNOW, YOU WORKED THERE, YOU’RE BUILDING THE PIER, YOU’RE YOU’RE DOING THESE AIRDROPS INTO GAZA, YOU’RE SAYING, YOU KNOW, THE GAZA NEED FOR HUMANITARIAN

ASSISTANCE IS GREATER THAN IN AFGHANISTAN AND SUDAN. AT THE SAME TIME, U.S. WEAPONRY IS CREATING THAT NEED FOR AID. SO IT A LITTLE PARADOXICAL. HOW DO YOU RESOLVE THAT PARADOX FOR AMERICANS AND FOR THE PALESTINIANS? YOU SAY YOU’RE TRYING TO HELP AND MINISTER SHOUKRY, WE JUST HEARD YOU RESTATE YOUR POSITION.

>> WE ALSO HEARD SECRETARY BLINKEN SAY THAT PALESTINIANS SHOULD NOT BE DISPLACED FROM THEIR LAND. WE KNOW THE HISTORY BEHIND YOUR CONCERNS, BUT IT DOESN’T. >> THE SAME TIME YOU ALSO JUST MENTIONED DOUBLE STANDARDS IN OTHER CONFLICTS. >> REFUGEES COMMONLY FLEE THE CONFLICT. THEY GO INTO NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.

THEY SEEK SAFETY IN THEIR NEIGHBORS. A LARGE PORTION OF THE RESIDENTS OF GAZA ARE STARVING. AND YOU AND EGYPT ARE IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO HELP SAVE LIVES. SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK. WHY YOU WON’T DO IT IN THIS CASE. THANKS A LOT, MICHAEL. THANK YOU.

TRY TO TAKE ON ALL THESE QUESTIONS. THERE ARE AS I SAID, THERE’S A LOT OF CONSENSUS ON, FIRST OF ALL, THE MOST URGENT ISSUES, BUT THERE’S ALSO A LOT OF CONSENSUS ON WHERE TO GO GOING FORWARD, INCLUDING FOR POST-CONFLICT GAZA AND INCLUDING FOR HOW TO BUILD AN ENDURING AND LASTING PEACE.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO DISCUSS IN SOME GREATER DETAIL POST-CONFLICT GAZA, INCLUDING QUESTIONS, SECURITY, ADMINISTRATIVE, ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE DEVELOPMENT. AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE WORK BE NECESSARY FOR LASTING AND, ENDURING PEACE. AND I THINK IN OUR SHARED JUDGMENT THAT, INCLUDES A PALESTINIAN STATE WITH SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR ISRAEL.

SO I THINK ON THE BIG PRINCIPLES WE WE HAVE VERY MUCH A SHARED APPROACH NOW. OBVIOUSLY THE DETAILS MATTER. WE SHARED SOME SOME THOUGHTS TODAY. WE’RE LOOKING VERY CAREFULLY AT WHAT OUR PARTNERS SUGGESTED. THEY’RE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE PUT ON THE TABLE AND GOING

TO CONTINUE THESE DISCUSSIONS OF THESE TALKS BECAUSE, EVEN AS WE’RE DEALING WITH THE IMMEDIATE CRISIS AND THE URGENCY COMES WITH THAT. WE ALSO HAVE TO BE PREPARED AND PLANNING TOGETHER FOR WHAT COMES NEXT WHEN IT COMES A PALESTINIAN STATE. BUT IN THE IN THIS MOMENT, GIVEN GIVEN THE PASSIONS, GIVEN

THE HORRIFIC EVENTS OF OCTOBER 7TH, GIVEN THE SUFFERING OF PALESTINIANS IN THESE LAST FIVE MONTHS, I KNOW IT’S HARD IT’S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE AND HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS ENDLESS CYCLE OF TERRORISM AND VIOLENCE, DEATH, DESTRUCTION. BUT IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE BE WORKING ON THAT.

SO WHEN THE WHEN THE IS RIGHT AND PEOPLE CAN BEGIN TO TO FOCUS IT AND REALLY FOCUS ON THE CHOICE THAT’S THERE AND, I THINK THE CHOICE IS CLEAR. AS I SAID BEFORE, THERE IS A PATH FORWARD WHERE ISRAEL IS GENUINELY INTEGRATED INTO THE REGION. ITS SECURITY IS GUARANTEED.

THE PALESTINIANS HAVE THE STATE THAT THAT THEY DESERVE AND ARE ENTITLED TO WITH APPROPRIATE SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR FOR ISRAEL. WE HAVE A REFORMED AND STRONG PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY TO ENGAGE IN. AND THAT PATH IS BOTH CLEAR AND IT’S POSSIBLE. AND WHAT’S WHAT’S CHANGED RECENTLY? THE COMMITMENT OF VIRTUALLY

EVERY COUNTRY IN THE REGION TO REALLY PURSUE THE INTEGRATION OF ISRAEL INTO ,THE REGION. BUT THAT ALSO REQUIRES THAT THERE BE PATHWAY TO A PALESTINIAN STATE. AND, OF COURSE, IT REQUIRES THAT THERE BE AN END THE CONFLICT IN GAZA. SO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK.

AND WHEN THE WHEN PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO TO FOCUS ON THAT PATH VERSUS THE ALTERNATIVE, WHICH I SAID IS A PATH THAT LEADS TO ENDLESS CYCLES OF VIOLENCE AND ALSO A PATH THAT IS TO THE BENEFIT OF PERHAPS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO ISRAEL AND TO MANY OTHERS, WHICH IS IRAN. AND VARIOUS PROXIES.

THE PERPETUATION OF THIS CYCLE ONLY BENEFITS IRAN AND THE PROXIES THAT ARE THAT ARE WORKING FOR IT. SO I THINK AS AS THAT CHOICES IS CLEAR, PEOPLE WILL BEGIN TO REALLY THINK ABOUT IT AND MAKE DECISIONS. FINALLY, THE THE THE PARADOX THAT YOU ALLUDED TO, LOOK, WE’RE COMMITTED TO ISRAEL’S

RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF AND TO MAKING SURE THAT IT HAS WHAT IT NEEDS TO DEFEND ITSELF AND TO MAKE SURE THAT OCTOBER 7TH NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. WE’RE ALSO COMMITTED TO DOING EVERYTHING, WE POSSIBLY CAN, TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN HARM’S WAY TO PROTECT THEM FROM HARM, IF WE CAN, AND TO

GIVE THEM THE ASSISTANCE NEED WHEREVER THEY ARE, INCLUDING IN. THESE ARE THESE ARE DISTINCT THINGS. AND YOU’VE HEARD OUR DETERMINATION, OUR SHARED DETERMINATION AMONG ALL THE PARTNERS ABOUT THE URGENCY OF GETTING MORE ASSISTANCE TO MORE PEOPLE MORE EFFECTIVELY . WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. THIS IS CERTAINLY THE CONDITIONS UNPRECEDENTED

AND ARE COMPARABLE TO ANY OTHER CONFLICT THAT HAS ERUPTED IN THE WORLD AROUND HAS BEEN DEALT WITH OR THE REACTIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TOWARDS WHAT IS HAPPENING. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF PALESTINIANS, BOTH THE PRESIDENT OF THE WEST BANK ,RECOGNIZED THAT THERE’S A POTENTIAL, AN INTENTION

TO LIQUIDATE THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE OF THE PALESTINIAN RIGHTS BY THE ISSUE OF DISPLACEMENT BY ACTIONS THAT WILL CREATE INTERNAL EXTERNAL DISPLACEMENT. THEY DON’T WANT A FURTHER LACK OF THEY ASSOCIATE THAT FOR CENTURIES TO THIS LAND. THEY ARE COMMITTED TO MAINTAIN THEIR POSITION ON THIS LAND, AND THEY HAVE SHOWN

A RESILIENCE THAT HAS GONE BEYOND ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE MERE COURAGEOUSNESS, RECOGNIZING THEIR LEGITIMATE RIGHTS AND UPHOLDING OF THEM, WHETHER THEY DO NOT FIND THE NECESSARY RESOLVE WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE AS PRECIOUS AS ANYONE ELSE’S, AND THAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THEY ARE IN SHOULD NOT

EXIST SHOULD NOT EXIST IN THE 21ST CENTURY, SHOULD NOT EXIST BY BY VIRTUE OF THE CHARTER OF THE UNITED ON THE RULE OR RULES BASED ORDER THAT THAT WE SEEM TO ADVOCATE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, EGYPT HAS UNDERTAKEN ITS RESPONSIBILITY IN TERMS OF PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE, ALMOST 70% OF IT

GENERATED BY THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT, BY THE EGYPTIAN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS . AND AT THE SAME TIME OF THE RECEPTION OF THE MULTITUDES OF PALESTINIANS, CIVILIANS, CHILDREN, WOMEN WHO ARE BABIES, WHO HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED INTO EGYPT FOR HOSPITALIZATION, FOR TREATMENT. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN THE HUMANE MANNER

THAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST, WHETHER IT’S RELATED TO THOSE WHO ARE COMING OUT FOR NEED ASSISTANCE OR THEIR INABILITY. AND YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN A POSITION AS THE TO ASK WHY IS THE MEDIA RESTRICTED FROM REPORTING EFFECTIVELY WHAT IS HAPPENING AND BEING IN GAZA AND REPORTING ON WHAT IS THE

ACTUAL STATE OF THE AND CONDITIONS THAT EXIST. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE . AGAIN, IT IS THAT WE LOOK TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE UNITED STATES SO THAT WE CAN END THIS CONFLICT BOTH IN THE SHORT TERM AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THIS CONFLICT CATEGORICALLY IN THE FUTURE ON THE BASIS OF THE TWO STATE

SOLUTION. I WANT TO THANK TONY FOR THE TIME HE HAS PROVIDED US, AND I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE HERE A BLESSED RAMADAN. I’M HONORED TO BE HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN THERE SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTER OF AS THEY HAVE COME TOGETHER, ANTONY

BLINKEN COMING TO THE MIDDLE EAST SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE TALKS AND NEGOTIATIONS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ALL THE HOSTAGES HOME, HOW TO BROKER A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND AND NOW DEAL WITH WHAT BLINKEN HAS SAID IS AN URGENT NEED TO HELP THE PEOPLE GAZA, THAT THEY SHOULD NOT

BE DYING OF MALNUTRITION OR PLACE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, 100% OF THE POPULATION OF GAZA EXPERIENCING SEVERE LEVELS OF ACUTE FOOD. >> FOOD INSECURITY. NOW LET’S BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG, WHO IS LISTENING TO THINGS AS WELL. LOOK, THEY’VE TALKED ABOUT FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE.

THEY TALKED ABOUT A CEASE FIRE. THEY TALKED ABOUT HOSTAGES. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE STARVING THERE IN THE REGION, BUT STILL NO PLAN OF EXECUTION HERE. JUST TALKS. >> YET YOU’RE IN THE SECRETARY OF STATE. HE WOULDN’T PUT A TIMELINE ON WHEN THIS CEASE FIRE DEAL

IN EXCHANGE FOR HOSTAGES WOULD BE NEGOTIATED. BUT HE DID SAY THAT GAPS ARE NARROWING, BUT THE WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE. AND REALLY, THE PURPOSE OF HIS TRIP, IT IS TWOFOLD, IS TO FOCUS ON IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE DEAL, WHICH HAS STALLED, WHICH HAS BEEN DELAYED AND TO LAY THE

GROUNDWORK FOR THE DAY AFTER WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FIGHTING ENDS. HOW DO THEY CREATE LASTING PEACE WITH THE US PUSHING FOR THAT TWO STATE SOLUTION AND CURE WHEN IT COMES TO HUMANITARIAN AID? HEARD THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE

A SURGE IN HUMANITARIAN AID WHICH CAN ONLY REALLY BE CREATED WITH THE CEASE FIRE DEAL. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THEY’VE GOT TO USE EVERY METHOD THEY WHICH IS BY LAND, BY SEA, BY AIR, PUSHING FOR MORE OF THIS LAND CROSSINGS TO OPEN. THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET AID IN.

BUT THE U.S. ALSO EMBARKING ON MORE COMPLEX AND COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE WAYS TO GET AIDED BY AIR AND THROUGH THE SEA, INCLUDING THAT FLOATING PIER THAT OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN TALKED ABOUT THERE. U.S. TROOPS ALREADY UNDER WAY TO HELP THAT FLOATING PIER. AND NOW, THIRDLY, SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN DRIVING

HOME WHY THE U.S. BELIEVES A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION IN RAQQA WOULD BE A MISTAKE. THIS IS WHERE THERE ARE MORE THAN A MILLION CIVILIANS. MANY OF THEM WERE DISPLACED FROM OTHER PARTS OF GAZA. HE IS SAYING THAT THE US IS GOING TO TELL AN ISRAELI DELEGATION EXPECTED

TO COME TO THE U.S. NEXT WEEK ABOUT A BETTER PATH FORWARD. >> ALL RIGHT, SELINA AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THANK YOU. ALSO DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW, THE RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS OUT OF HAITI AS ARMED GANGS TAKE CONTROL OF THE STREETS. AND A HUNGER CRISIS NOW LOOMS.

ARE GETTING A LOOK AT VIDEO THIS HOUR OF THE HARROWING RESCUES. U.S. SENDING IN HELICOPTERS EVACUATING MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE STATE DEPARTMENT THEN PUTTING CITIZENS ON FLIGHTS BACK TO THE U.S.. CAMERAS CAPTURING THE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS AS DESPERATE FAMILIES WERE REUNITED OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA.

LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, SELINA WANG. ALSO OUR PHIL LIPOFF. SO, SELINA, TELL US ABOUT THESE FLIGHTS THAT WERE CHARTERED, THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THEM? WHO EXACTLY WAS ABOARD THOSE FLIGHTS AND HOW LONG THE FLIGHTS COULD CONTINUE LIKE HERE? >> WILL THE STATE DEPARTMENT

SAID THEY’RE PLANNING A SERIES OF THESE FLIGHTS TO EVACUATE U.S. CITIZENS, HAITI’S CAPITAL. IN TERMS OF HOW LONG IT’S GOING TO LAST, THEY SAY IT REALLY DEPENDS THE SECURITY SITUATION ON THE GROUND, THE AVAILABILITY OF THESE CHARTER PLANES. IT AS WELL, THE DEMAND FROM AMERICANS. NOW, THE STATE DEPARTMENT

IS SAYING THAT AS OF NOW, NEARLY 1600 AMERICANS HAVE REGISTERED, WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET OUT OF HAITI, THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEIR EXPECTATION IS THAT MORE THAN 30 AMERICANS WILL BE ABLE TO EVACUATE FROM HAITI’S CAPITAL PER DAY ON THESE CHARTER FLIGHTS.

NOW, THE WHITE HOUSE IS REITERATING THAT THE U.S. HAD A DO NOT TRAVEL ADVISORY TO HAITI SINCE 2020. PRECISE BECAUSE OF THIS ONGOING INSTABILITY CAUSED BY THE GAMES. U.S. OFFICIALS ARE ALSO STRESSING THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ALL U.S. CITIZENS WILL BE EVACUATED OUT OF HAITI BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY AND SECURITY CHALLENGES.

>> PHIL, TELL US ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL REUNIONS. >> WELL, WE SAW SOME JUST LAST NIGHT. IT’S HARD TO THINK ABOUT A LOVED ONE BEING THERE IN A PLACE WHERE GANGS AND VIOLENCE HAVE TAKEN OVER FOOD AND WATER IS SCARCE AND YOU CAN’T GET THERE TO HELP YOU JUST CAN’T GET THERE.

AND THAT IS THE REALITY FOR SO MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES WAITING FOR GOVERNMENT TO GET THEIR LOVED ONES OUT OF HAITI. >> AT A REUNION OF SOME OF THOSE AMERICAN FAMILIES LAST NIGHT, GRATEFUL SEEMS LIKE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. >> SURE. FOR ONE, DAD. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES

AND THEY DIDN’T GIVE UP. AND THEY STAYED WITH US UNTIL THE END OF THE MISSION, WHICH I CAN HAPPILY SAY WAS MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AND REUNITED WITH JULIAN, OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON. YEAH, IT WAS TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. AND AS ANY PARENT WOULD RECOGNIZE, THAT’S TWO AND

A HALF WEEKS, WAY TOO LONG WHEN YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR TWO YEAR OLD SON TO COME BACK FROM AN ATMOSPHERE LIKE THAT. YOU CAN SEE IT ON HIS FACE HERE. >> IT MUST HAVE FELT LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD WAS LIFTED OFF HIS SHOULDERS. ALL RIGHT, SELINA, PHIL, THANK

YOU BOTH. SO LETITIA JAMES TELLS DONALD TRUMP, NOT SO FAST. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL URGING AN APPEALS COURT TO IGNORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CLAIM THAT SECURING A BOND IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO PAY NEARLY HALF A BILLION DOLLARS CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY IF TRUMP FAILS

TO SECURE SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE BY MONDAY, JAMES CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS AND EVEN SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. LET’S BRING IN OUR SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE OLIVIA RUBIN. SO, ERIN, LET’S TALK ABOUT JUST THE LATEST HERE ON LETITIA JAMES ACTUALLY MOVING TO TAKE

POSSESSION OF TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF COURSE NOW. WHAT DO WE KNOW? >> THIS IS SOMETHING OF A BABY STEP, BUT AN INITIAL STEP BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO TRY AND POTENTIALLY SEIZE TRUMP’S PROPERTIES IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY. JUDGMENT OF THE COURT CAME IN MANHATTAN.

SO IF THE GENERAL WANTS TO TAKE POSSESSION OF ANY OF TRUMP’S PROPERTIES, HE CAN’T GET THE BOND IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. THEN SHE NEEDED TO FILE THE JUDGMENT THERE, AND THAT’S WHAT SHE HAS DONE. SO IT’S LEAST AN INITIAL INDICATION THAT SHE’S THINKING ABOUT IT. AND WE SHOULD SAY, I DON’T

THINK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS TO BE ON THE GOLF COURSE BUSINESS, NOR DOES SHE WANT TO START OWNING HIS SEVEN SPRINGS ESTATE. THIS PRIVATE ESTATE IN BEDFORD IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. BUT SHE COULD TAKE SOME OF THE REVENUE FROM THE GOLF COURSE THAT IT GENERATES AND STEER IT TOWARDS STATE

COFFERS TO HELP PAY OFF THE JUDGMENT SHOULD TRUMP LOSE HIS APPEAL. AND THESE ARE STEPS THAT SHE’S GOING TO BE DOING AS SOON AS MONDAY. IF TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE THE BOND. >> SO, OLIVIA, WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS THEN AS THE MONDAY MONDAY DEADLINE APPROACHES? WELL, I THINK AS WE HEARD ERIN

JUST LEAVE OFF RIGHT THERE IS THAT TRUMP HAS TO SECURE THIS BOND BY MONDAY. AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM HIM ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND RAISING IS REALLY HE IS JUST SLAMMING EFFORTS THAT HE PURSUED TO TRY TO GET THIS BOND PUT UP. WE KNOW HE WENT TO OVER 30 DIFFERENT COMPANIES.

THEY’VE REBUFFED HIS EFFORTS. AND NOW WHAT TRUMP HAS BEEN ZONING IN ON IS THE VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT HE COULD HAVE TO FIRE, SELL OFF SOME ASSETS TO COME UP WITH CASH TO ABLE TO PUT UP FOR THIS BOND. AND THAT’S NOT AN OPTION THAT HE LIKES BECAUSE, AS HE

HAS SAID, IF THIS RULING SHOULD OVERTURNED ON APPEAL, THOSE ASSETS ARE GONE. HE CAN’T GET THEM BACK. SO THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY HE’S TRYING TO PUSH TO NOT HAVE TO PUT AS MUCH OR ANYTHING UP UNTIL AFTER THE APPEAL TO TRY TO PRESERVE SOME OF THOSE ASSETS PRESERVE

THE WEALTH IN CASE IT SHOULD GET OVERTURNED. BUT REALLY, IT’S A TIME CRUNCH HERE. HE’S GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING BY. ALL RIGHT. IT’S GOING TO BE A VERY INTERESTING WEEKEND, ERIN. >> OLIVIA, THANK YOU. SO A NEW LAWSUIT THAT TECH GIANT APPLE IS ROTTEN FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER.

SO LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT

THE DOJ IS ACCUSING APPLE OF DOING. >> AND IS APPLE RESPONDING YET? YEAH CARRIE I MEAN WE ALL KNOW HOW DOMINANT IPHONES HAVE BECOME AS A PART OF AMERICAN AND BASICALLY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT APPLE ENGAGED IN ILLEGAL MONOPOLISTIC BEHAVIOR TO MAKE THAT THE CASE,

THEY LAY OUT IN THIS 80 PAGE EXTENSIVE LAWSUIT ALL THE WAYS THAT THEY SAY THAT APPLE IS ESSENTIALLY TRIED TO ISOLATE ALL OF ITS COMPETITORS UNLAWFULLY. THEY RAISE THIS EXCHANGE BETWEEN, APPLE CEO TIM COOK AND A QUESTIONER WHO SAID, YOU KNOW, I CAN’T MY MOM TO SEND ME PHOTOS ON HER

ANDROID PHONE. HE BASICALLY SAID TO HER TO THAT QUESTIONER’S RESPONSE, WELL, YOU SHOULD JUST BUY AN IPHONE. AND THEY SAY THAT THAT KIND OF BECAME A CULTURE AT APPLE. NOW APPLE IS NOW DEFENDING ITSELF. THEY SAY THAT THEY NEVER ENGAGED IN ANYTHING UNLAWFUL AND THEY ARE VOWING TO FIGHT

THIS OUT AT TRIAL. AND THAT COULD TAKE A POSSIBLY UP TO A DECADE BASED ON HOW THESE HISTORIC ANTITRUST LAWSUITS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE PAST. >> WELL, WE’LL DEFINITELY FOLLOW THE LAWSUIT. WHAT HAPPENS HERE? ALEX, THANK YOU. AND MORE NEWS AFTER THE BREAK. >> BE RIGHT BACK.

THERE’S A MASTERPIECE EVERYWHERE AND REPORTING FROM THE GULF COAST OF FLORIDA COVERING ADELE IKE EJIOCHI, WHATEVER THE STORY IS, WE’LL TAKE THERE. >> YESTERDAY ABC NEWS LIVE AND RIGHT NOW ON ABC LIVE. MAINTAINING MONOPOLY.

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS APPLE IS GUILTY OF BLOCKING, SUPPRESSING AND MANIPULATING THE SMARTPHONE. WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTIGATION . >> AND WHAT APPLE IS NOW SAYING. PUSHING FOR A FIRE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS IN EGYPT AS HUNGER CONTINUES RAVAGE GAZA.

WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. THE HORRIFYING AND DEHUMANIZING ATTACKS ON TWO BLACK MEN AND MISSISSIPPI. THE SIX SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES NOW FACING JUSTICE FOR THEIR UNBELIEVABLE AND ATROCIOUS BEHAVIOR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. AND I’M TERRY MORAN. AND OUR TOP AT THIS HOUR. TAKING A BITE OUT OF APPLE.

YOU MIGHT CALL THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE IPHONES AND NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS SAYING THAT IS PARTLY BECAUSE THE TECH GIANT HAS CREATED WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS CALLING AN ILLEGAL MONOPOLY ON SMARTPHONE MARKET. THE DOJ FILING AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE TODAY WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK

GARLAND SAYING THE COMPANY MAINTAINED ITS POWER THROUGH ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND EXCLU GENERIC CONDUCT. >> JOINING US NOW IS CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS, NEMESIS BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. SO, PIERRE, FIRST OF ALL, AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE MONOPOLY IN SMARTPHONE MARKETS, HOW DO THEY REACH THAT CONCLUSION? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE, THE ANDROID’S FLIP PHONES

AND BURNER PHONES. AND DOES GOOGLE REALLY NEED THE OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT? WHAT’S THE DOJ DOING HERE? WELL, OF THE THINGS THEY SAID, TERRY, RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS THAT APPLE MANY OF US DID NOT KNOW THIS IS STILL CONTROLLING ABOUT 70%, 70 ZERO 70% OF THE SMARTPHONE MARKET.

AND WITH DOJ IS CLAIMING WHAT THEY’RE CLAIMING THAT APPLE DONE IS TO BASICALLY ENSURE THAT THE APPLE PHONE REMAINS DOMINANT BY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO DO USING OTHER TYPES OF SMARTPHONES FOR EXAMPLE, THEY SAY IT’S MORE DIFFICULT TO GET NOT DESIGNED BY APPLE TO WORK ON YOUR APPLE PHONE,

THAT THEY MAKE TEXT MESSAGING MORE DIFFICULT FOR SMARTPHONES OTHER THAN APPLE PHONES. AND ALSO THEY MENTIONED THAT IF YOU HAVE A SMARTWATCH, IT’S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO MAKE IT OPERATE WITH AN APPLE PHONE IF IT’S NOT A APPLE BASED WATCH. AND THEN THIRDLY, THEY’RE SAYING, AGAIN, THE APPS THE APPS ARE MUCH

MORE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT YOU, THE CONSUMER, ARE PAYING MORE MONEY BECAUSE APPLE IS DOMINATING AND CONTROLLING THE MARKET. >> ALEXIS, HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY IMPACT CONSUMERS? I MEAN, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SAYING WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN

TO MY PHONE RIGHT AT THE END OF THE DAY? THAT’S THE QUESTION. HOW DOES THIS IMPACT ME? AND I THINK THE SHORT ANSWER IS IT’S GOING TO IMPACT YOU, AT LEAST FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. KNOW, HISTORY TELLS US THESE ANTITRUST TYPE CASES AGAINST CONGLOMERATES CAN TAKE YEARS.

SOME ARE SAYING THIS COULD ACTUALLY TAKE A DECADE FOR APPLE TO TO DEAL WITH THIS LAWSUIT. NOW FROM THE DOJ. AND SO CONSUMERS REALLY WON’T SEE ANY CHANGE IN THE WAY THEY USE THEIR IPHONES IN THE U.S. BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT BUSINESS HAS CHANGED FOR

APPLE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, WHERE IT WAS FORCED TO COMPLY WITH A NEW EUROPEAN CALLED THE DIGITAL MARKETS ACT. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, IPHONE USERS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION ARE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD APPS FROM THIRD PARTY APP STORES. AND APPLE MUST ALLOW ALTERNATIVE IN-APP PAYMENT SERVICES IN ITS IPHONES ACROSS

THE EUROPEAN UNION. THAT IS NOT THE CASE IN THE U.S. IT’S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THE DOJ HAS WITH APPLE. >> AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT ANTITRUST LAWS THAT YOU MENTIONED THIS IS COULD TAKE A DECADE. RIGHT. I COVERED THE MICROSOFT TRIAL WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BACK THEN IN THE CLINTON

ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO BREAK UP MICROSOFT TECH CHANGES SO FAST, THE TECH ECONOMY CHANGES SO FAST THAT BY THE TIME THAT THAT LAWSUIT ENDED, IT WAS KIND OF IRRELEVANT. PEOPLE WER DOING DIFFERENT THINGS. >> THE TECHNOLOGY WAS TOTALLY SO. YEAH. AND I OF THE LAW CAN KEEP UP WITH IT HERE.

ONCE AGAIN, I’LL I’LL ASK IT IS THE ANTITRUST HAMMER IS THE BIG HAMMER IS THIS AN ANTIQUE MARKET ENOUGH TO USE IT? >> THAT’S THE ARGUMENT THAT THE DOJ HAS TO BE CONVINCING. WE KNOW HOW MICROSOFT CASE TURNED OUT AND IT WAS OVERTURNED ON APPEAL. MICROSOFT WAS NEVER BROKEN UP.

SOME SAY IT CAME OUT A STRONGER TECH COMPANY. THE END. AND YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING? THE TWO MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES IN COUNTRY ARE MICROSOFT, FOLLOWED BY APPLE TWO COMPANIES THAT WERE TARGETED, ARE TARGETED BY THE DOJ. YOU KNOW, TODAY APPLE STOCK DOWN ABOUT 3%. IT IS STILL A COMPANY THAT IS

VALUED $3 TRILLION, GUYS. >> AND HERE IT HAS APPLE RESPONDING. >> AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, APPLE PUT OUT A STATEMENT TODAY BASICALLY SAYING THAT JUSTICE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ACTIONS WOULD BASICALLY PUT A PALL, IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE.

AND THEY ALSO SAID IT BASICALLY BEARS ON THE WAY AND TRADITION AND THE STYLE OF OPERATION THAT THEY HAVE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT BASICALLY SETS UP A PRECEDENT WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS LITERALLY TRYING TO DICTATE HOW TECHNOLOGY IS DEVELOPED, EXECUTED. NOW, IT’S INTERESTING, DOJ OFFICIAL DID TRY TO THE CASE

TODAY THAT THEIR ANTITRUST ACTIONS AGAINST MICROSOFT FOR A WHILE IT DIDN’T DO ALL THE THINGS THAT MAYBE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT UP FOR IT TO DO IN THEIR MIND. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DID DO WAS CREATE MORE COMPETITION THAT LED TO APPLE ACTUALLY BEING CREATED. AND FOR GOOGLE TO BE WHAT IT

IS TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT, PIERRE ALEXIS, THANK YOU. SO CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS TAKING PLACE IN CAIRO. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN MET WITH THE EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER, DELIVERING REMARKS JUST MOMENTS AGO. WE CARRIED IT LIVE AS THE U.S. AMPS UP CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS.

>> WE AGREED TODAY ALL OF THE MINISTERS THAT WOULD GET OUR EXPERTS TOGETHER IN THE COMING DAYS TO IDENTIFY THE URGENT, PRACTICAL AND CONCRETE THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE TAKEN TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF ASSISTANCE. ISRAEL NEEDS TO DO MORE. WE DISCUSSED AND AGREED ON THE NEED FOR LONG TERM PEACE

AND SECURITY BLINKEN IS AIMING TO ALSO SECURE THE RELEASE OF ALL THE REMAINING HOSTAGES WHILE BRINGING MORE HUMANITARIAN AID TO. >> GAZA AND THAT PUSH FOR A CEASE FIRE COMES AT A CRUCIAL TIME. >> THE UNITED NATIONS IS NOW WARNING OF TOTAL FAMINE IN THE PART OF THE GAZA STRIP.

BY MAY, A WEEKS FROM NOW, UNLESS A CEASE FIRE HAPPENS. BUT EVEN WITH ALL THE MOUNTING PRESSURE, ISRAEL CONTINUES TO STRIKE AREAS IN THE NORTH, INCLUDING THE AL-SHIFA, WHERE THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE CONDUCTING PRECISE OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY, AS THEY CALL IT, AT THE MEDICAL COMPLEX THERE. ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE

HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA WANG AND FORMER CIA FIELD OUTPUT OF DARRELL BLOCKER US NOW. >> SO, SELINA, RIGHT NOW THE STORY IS CLEARLY THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND BETWEEN JOE BIDEN AND BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. WE’RE LEARNING SOME DETAILS, I GUESS, ABOUT A U.S. RESOLUTION AS AS SECRETARY

OF STATE BACK IN THIS IN EGYPT THAT CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE. SO WHAT’S U.S. PUSHING FOR ON THIS LATEST TOUR? AND WHAT ABOUT THAT GAP BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND JERUSALEM? >> WELL, TERRY, YOU’RE RIGHT. ALL THIS COMES AGAINST A PICTURE OF THOSE FRUSTRATIONS FROM THE U.S. PRESIDENT TOWARDS ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER.

THOSE PRIVATE FRUSTRATIONS NOW REALLY SPILLING OUT INTO THE OPEN. AND WHAT WE’RE SEEING IS THAT U.N. DRAFT RESOLUTION, WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE OF STATE, IT’S NOT A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING FROM THE U.S.. BUT THOSE CALLS FOR THIS IMMEDIATE SUSTAINED CEASE FIRE. THEY ARE GOING MORE.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR THIS TO BE TIED TO THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. THE SECRETARY OF STATE NOT PUTTING A TIMELINE ON THIS, BUT HE IS SAYING THAT THE GAPS CLOSING. THE U.S. ALSO PUSHING ISRAEL TO DO MORE TO ALLOW HUMANITARIAN IN. THE U.S. IS RESORTING TO THESE VERY COMPLEX AND EXPENSIVE

OF OPERATIONS EXTREMELY COMPLICATED LIKE THESE AIRDROPS INCLUDING BUILDING THAT FLOATING PIER TO GET AID THROUGH BY SEA. BUT SECRETARY STATE ANTONY BLINKEN DRIVING HOME THAT THOSE LAND CROSSINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. AND THIRDLY, THE SECRETARY OF STATE ALSO LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT HAPPENS THE DAY AFTER, HOW TO CREATE SUSTAINED, LASTING PEACE.

SO, DARYL, HOW MUCH SWAY DO YOU THINK? BLINKEN STILL HAS WITHIN THESE NEGOTIATIONS? IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ISRAEL IS JUST IN SPITE OF THE U.S. EVERY TIME IT MAKES A RECOMMENDATION I THINK SECRETARY IS INFLUENCE IS STILL REALLY SOUND. >> THE FACT THAT THE THE FOREIGN HIS COUNTERPART IN THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT WAS

CAMERA TODAY. THEY DON’T TYPICALLY THEMSELVES OUT THERE UNLESS THINGS SEEM TO BE MOVING IN IN A POSITIVE IN A POSITIVE MOTION AND THEN DEALING WITH THE EGYPTIANS ON EXCHANGES LIKE THIS SINCE THE SUEZ CANAL IN 56, SINCE THE 79 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS AND, EGYPT HAS STEPPED UP MANY, MANY TIMES.

>> AND THAT’S A VERY GOOD SIGN . >> LINA, DARYL, THANKS GUYS. SO NOW TO THE GROWING HUNGER CRISIS WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN HAITI AND THE RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS AS ARMED GANGS CONTINUE TO CONTROL THE STREETS AND FIGHT FOR POWER. AND NOW WE HAVE THESE IMAGES

OF AMERICANS RACING TOWARD HELICOPTERS COMING IN TO RESCUE THEM. EMOTIONAL REUNIONS CAN SEE TAKING PLACE OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA. SOME FAMILIES SEPARATED YOUNG CHILDREN FOR WEEKS. AND THEN BECAUSE THESE ARMED JUST REALLY RAVAGED THE HAITIAN CAPITAL FOR WEEKS NOW, THEY BASICALLY CONTROL THE CITY, MOVING AROUND, TERRORIZING NEIGHBORHOODS, POLICE STATIONS, EVEN RELEASING

THOUSANDS OF INMATES. HAITI’S TWO BIGGEST PRISONS. IT’S CHAOS THERE. IT’S MADNESS. A REPORT BACKED BY THE UNITED NATIONS IS SHOWING HOW THIS CHAOS IS CAUSING AND BRINGING HAITI’S HEALTH CARE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ITS KNEES. THE STUDY CITES A LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE WORKERS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES ALONG WITH BLOOD SHORTAGES.

YOU SEE THE PICTURES. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT IT’S LIKE TO TRY AND FIND A DOCTOR THERE RIGHT NOW. >> JOINING US NOW, SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES. JEAN-MARC DE MATTEO IS THE CEO OF THE ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL THERE IN HAITI AND AN ACTIVE MEMBER AT THE

WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. SO GLAD THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK IN WITH US. YOU KNOW, THERE’S NOT ONLY THESE ARMED GANGS, AS WE JUST MENTIONED, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE THERE, YOU’RE SEEING IT THAT ARE VYING FOR CONTROL AND FOR POWER. BUT NOW ALL THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE JUST FIGHTING TO SURVIVE.

THEY’RE STRUGGLING TO FIND FOOD . AND I KNOW WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN HAS JUMPED IN. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT SITUATION, WHAT YOU’VE WITNESSED AND HOW YOU’RE HELPING. >> CAROL, THANK YOU. IT’S REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND HERE IN HAITI RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT IS

ON THE BRINK OF FAMINE. 500,000 PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY AT RISK OF STARVATION THIS COUNTRY. WE ARE AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY FROM MIAMI. >> I MEAN, THAT’S JUST STAGGERING THAT JUST A JUST OFF OF OUR SHORE. AND I WANT TO ASK YOU, GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD,

HOW DOES IT COMPARE AND WHAT’S HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE IN NEED OF MEDICAL HELP RIGHT NOW, SEEING YOU GETTING TO A DOCTOR. IT MUST BE A NIGHTMARE. >> THE LATEST ESTIMATES, 80% OF THE HOSPITALS ARE CLOSED. THERE IS CHAOS. THE STREETS A THOUSAND YARDS FROM WHERE I’M SPEAKING TO RIGHT NOW.

THERE ARE BODIES PILED UP IN THE STREETS RIGHT. >> A THOUSAND YARDS FOR IBISEVIC. SO THAT REGULAR MEDICAL CARE IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE. HOSPITALS ARE OUT OF MEDICINE. MEDICAL STAFF CANNOT GET HOSPITALS. THEY ARE SHELTERING IN THEIR HOMES. THEY CANNOT GET FOOD. THEIR FAMILIES, LET ALONE COME TO WORK.

MEDICINES ARE RUN OUT. THE ONLY PORT, THE MAIN PORT THAT FEEDS AND BRINGS ALL MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO A COUNTRY OF 12 MILLION PEOPLE, HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CLOSED, SHUT DOWN, CUT OFF BY THE GANGS FOR WEEKS. THE ONLY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY GANGS FOR WEEKS.

THERE IS NO WAY AND THERE’S NO WAY OUT OF HAITI AND THERE’S CERTAINLY NO WAY TO BRING IN ANY KIND OF SUPPLIES ABOUT IT. >> SO WHAT ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL LIKE RIGHT NOW, WE’RE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE PRE-POSITIONED A LOT OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES. WE HAVE AN INDEPENDENT POWER

GRID, THE SOLAR POWER GRID AND WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND. WE ALSO HAVE A 100 ACRE CAMPUS. SO OUR PHYSICIANS AND OF OUR STAFF, WE HAVE 544 TIMES THAT. 100% OF THEM ARE HAITIAN PHYSICIANS. THEY LIVE OUT OF OUR CAMPUS AND SO WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW HOSPITALS REMAINING THAT ARE

OPEN AND WE HAVE A WHOLE OXYGEN GENERATING PLANT. BUT WE ARE OVERWHELMED BECAUSE ALL THE SURROUNDING HOSPITALS ARE CLOSED. AND RIGHT NOW THE GUNSHOT VICTIMS, THE FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY, ARE THE LARGEST SOURCES OVER CAR ACCIDENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE JUST COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED.

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST HAVE NO OPTIONS RIGHT NOW. AND CLEARLY, YOU’VE GOT TO WAIT. THIS. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD? JOHN? MARK, WHILE YOU HAVE THIS THIS PLATFORM, IT’S I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO TAKE THE CONVERSATION IF YOU’RE NOT

ABLE TO HELP OR EVEN GET OUT. IF PEOPLE CAN’T COME TO THE HOSPITAL, YOU CLEARLY CAN’T GET TO THEM EITHER WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK. SO I MEAN, DO YOU SEE ANY TYPE OF SOLUTION HERE AS HELICOPTERS ARE COMING IN AND GETTING AMERICANS OUT? WHAT DO YOU NEED AT THIS MOMENT ?

>> AT THIS MOMENT, YOU’RE THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT THE INTERNATIONAL ARMED FORCE TO COME AND RESTORE SECURITY AND REALLY SHOULD BE REFERRING TO IT AS A MASSIVE HUMANITARIAN . THESE NUMBERS ARE WHAT I’M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. NO FOOD IS GETTING IN. SO PROJECT UP TOMORROW, FIVE DAYS FROM NOW, TEN DAYS

FROM NOW, THIS CITY PORT PRINCE, THE CITY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IS COMPLETELY UNDER SIEGE. THEY’LL ALSO FEED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. I MEAN, THE 12 MILLION PEOPLE, THE NUMBERS I’M GIVING YOU ARE TODAY’S NUMBERS. SEVEN DAYS FROM NOW. >> IT’S — IT’S UNIMAGINABLE. YEAH. WELL, WE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING

YOUR EYEWITNESS AND MORAL WITNESS ACCOUNT JOHN WAUCK THAT DAY, MARTY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU, TERRY. THANK YOU, PAUL. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON. HEY, PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH US. SO BACK HERE AT HOME, LETITIA JAMES, WELL, SHE’S TELLING

DONALD TRUMP, NOT SO FAST. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL URGING AN COURT NOW TO IGNORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CLAIM THAT A BOND IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO PAY NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLAR CIVIL FRAUD PENALTY. >> IF DONALD TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME KIND

OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE TO PAY THIS BOND BY MONDAY. ATTORNEY LETITIA JAMES CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS, SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. THERE’S THIS JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM. IF YOU CAN ENFORCE IT. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT ERIK AND TESKEY, ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AND PRODUCER OLIVIA RUBIN.

SO, ERIN WHAT’S THE LATEST ON LETITIA JAMES MOVING FORWARD TO TAKE POSSESSION OF TRUMP GOLF COURSE IN BRIARCLIFF MANOR AND SEVEN SPRINGS, A PRIVATE ESTATE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK? >> THAT SOUNDS YEAH, AT THIS POINT, SHE’S REALLY GOING FOR HIS JUGULAR. >> SHE WELL, SHE MAY.

AND IF HE IS UNABLE TO SECURE A BOND, TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY IT’S PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DO SO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE ALL THE INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES. SHE NEEDS TO TAKE A FEW PREREQUISITE STEPS, AND SHE’S NOW DONE THAT BY REGISTERING JUDGMENT THAT WAS INITIATED IN MANHATTAN IN THE CLERK’S

OFFICE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY. SO SHOULD SHE FEEL IT NECESSARY TO TRY TO SEIZE THE GOLF COURSE AND THE ESTATE IN WESTCHESTER, SHE NOW HAS THE LEGAL ABILITY TO THAT. >> SO, OLIVIA, TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY THAT MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN. DOES THE FORMER PRESIDENT REALLY HAVE THAT BAD

OF OR DO THESE COMPANIES JUST NOT TRUST HIM? >> WELL, IF YOU LISTEN TO DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS, WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT BOND COMPANIES JUST WON’T TAKE DONALD TRUMP’S REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR CASH FOR THOSE BONDS. AND WHAT HIS LAWYERS HAVE SAID, WHILE STILL MAINTAINING

THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS A VERY, VERY ROBUST FINANCIAL SITUATION, THEY DON’T HAVE SORT OF LIQUID CASH ON HAND, SO THEY DON’T HAVE THE CASH AND. THEY’RE NOT ABLE TO PUT UP REAL ESTATE AS THE BOND THAT LEAVES THEM IN A NO WIN SITUATION WHERE THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING

THAT THEY CAN PUT UP AND WHAT THEY HAVE IS THAT LEAVES US WITH THE ONLY OPTION OF BUYING OR SELLING TO TRY TO COME UP WITH THE CASH FOR A BOND. BUT THEY SAY THAT WOULD NOT BE FAIR, BECAUSE SHOULD DONALD TRUMP WIN ON APPEAL THAT MEANS HE’S LOST THOSE ASSETS,

HE CAN’T GET THEM BACK. SO THAT’S THE ISSUE WITH THE BOND IN A NUTSHELL. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, STAY TUNED. >> OLIVIA RUBIN AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. AND UP, SIX SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES IN THE HORRIFIC TORTURE OF TWO BLACK MEN. WELL, JUSTICE EVER BE SERVED IN THIS CASE. >> COMING UP NEXT.

BRAD MCALPIN MORGAN, I GUESS, WAS SENTENCED TODAY. >> TELL US ABOUT IT. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THIS SENTENCING PHASE, YOU KNOW, WE’VE HEARD FROM THE BUT WE’VE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO HEAR FROM THIS SO CALLED GOON SQUAD, THE JUDGE CALLING THEM DESPICABLE. AND DURING THE SENTENCING PHASE ,AGAIN, WE’VE HEARD

THE HORRIFIC DETAILS OF THAT BRUTAL BEATING AND TORTURE. SHERIFF’S DEPUTY BRAD MCALPIN SENTENCED TODAY TO CLOSE TO 27 YEARS IN PRISON. HE’S ONE OF THE LAST TO. TO LEARN THEIR FATE. NOT ONLY DID HE TAKE PART IN THAT BRUTAL BEATING OF THE MEN THAT YOU JUST LAID OUT,

HE ALSO SERVED AS THE LOOKOUT AND THREATENED TO KILL OTHER OFFICERS IF THEY SPOKE UP ABOUT THIS MCCADDEN MCALPIN NODDED TO HIS FAMILY IN THE COURTROOM TODAY WEARING THAT ORANGE JUMPSUIT AND OFFERED AN APOLOGY. THE JUDGE READ THE SENTENCE. HE SAID, QUOTE, THIS WAS ALL VERY, VERY WELL GOING ON TO

SAY, QUOTE, I’M REALLY SORRY FOR BEING A OF SOMETHING THAT MADE LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOK SO BAD, UNDERSTAND THAT HE DIDN’T DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE VICTIMS IN THAT COURTROOM. >> GUYS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF THESE STORIES WHERE YOU HAVE TO GIVE CONTEXT. >> I MEAN, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MISSISSIPPI, WHERE EMMETT

TILL WAS BEATEN AND KILLED, YOU KNOW, COUNTLESS OTHERS. >> YES. AND THAT’S WHAT LED TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. IT’S LIKE WE HAVE GONE COMPLETELY BACKWARDS. AND NOW YOU HAVE THESE THESE SHERIFFS DEPUTIES, THEY ARE A GOON SQUAD, YOU KNOW, CARRY OUT THE SAME TYPE OF BRUTAL ATTACKS THAT HAPPENED DECADES AGO.

WHY HAVEN’T THEY LEARNED FROM HISTORY? HASN’T THIS STATE LEARNED FROM HISTORY? I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S TO HAPPEN TO THIS SHERIFF WHO SAYS HE’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. AND THEN I AM TOLD, MORGAN RIGHT, THAT THE LAST, YOU KNOW, DEPUTY, A PART OF THIS GOON SQUAD IS GOING TO BE SENTENCED .

I MEAN, THE LEGAL TROUBLE IS NOT OVER FOR ANY OF THESE FOLKS, YOU KNOW, FAR FROM OVER. AND I’M GLAD THAT YOU GUYS MENTIONED BECAUSE THE HISTORY IN THE CONTEXT, MISSISSIPPI IS SOMETHING THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY AS I WAS BORN IN THAT STATE. THE LEGAL BATTLE IS FAR FROM

OVER IN TERMS OF THE REMAINING OF THIS GOON SQUAD. AND AT LEAST JOSHUA HARTFIELD, FORMER RICHLAND POLICE WHO TASED THE TWO MEN AS THEY WERE BEING HANDCUFFED AND THEN TRIED TO GET RID OF THAT EVIDENCE, YOU KNOW, TO THAT POINT, BASED ON THE SENTENCES ALREADY HANDED UP AND HIS CO-DEFENDANTS,

YOU KNOW, HE’S LOOKING AT DECADES, PRESIDENTS. WELL, AND I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE POINT OF THESE, YOU KNOW, HEAVY HANDED SENTENCES WAS TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE THAT YOU KNOW WE’RE NOT GOING TO GO BACKWARDS, YOU KNOW, IN TIME AND RELIVE THE.

BUT IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE, SPEAKING OF TRAUMA, THIS HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM. RIGHT. THEIR ATTORNEYS SAYING THIS WEEK THAT THEY STILL STRUGGLE, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ENDURING TRAUMA, THE MENTAL ASPECT OF THIS BRUTAL ATTACK. EDDIE PARKER SAYS HE FORGIVES THE OFFICERS.

HOWEVER, JENKINS SAYS HE IS NOT QUITE THERE YET. AS FOR WHAT’S NEXT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN’T BEEN SENTENCED YET ON THE STATE CHARGES THAT IS TO COME. SO WE COULD BE LOOKING AT MUCH MORE PRISON TIME ON TOP OF WHAT THEY’VE BEEN SENTENCED FOR TODAY. IN ADDITION, THIS SO-CALLED

GOON SQUAD IS NOW LOOKING AT A $400 MILLION FEDERAL LAWSUIT. SO, AGAIN, THE LEGAL BATTLE IS FAR FROM OVER, GUYS. >> YEAH, IT SHOULD CONTINUE. AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE, INCLUDING THE SHERIFF WHO SAID HE HAD NO IDEA OF THIS BEHAVIOR THAT WAS TAKING PLACE, WHICH IS SO NOT TRUE.

>> AND YOU’RE NOT ABOUT JUST ONE DEPUTY. >> YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT SIX. I MEAN, THIS IS A CULTURAL PROBLEM. YEAH. AND MORGAN DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE FROM MISSISSIPPI. SO I’M SURE YOU KNOW THIS. THIS HITS YOU MUCH DIFFERENTLY AND INTO YOUR FAMILY. SO I’M GLAD WE’RE TALKING ABOUT IT.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU. THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. YOU CRUMPLING UP HERE? I AM READY. IT’S KOBE TIME. OH, HE’S KOBE. OH, MY GOSH. I’M SORRY. MISS STEPH CURRY, LAST YEAR’S CHAMPS, UCONN, THEY’RE BACK, YOU KNOW, IN THE DANCE TODAY AND THE TOP OVERALL SEED.

>> BUT IT’S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS SINCE A REPEAT. AND I’LL JUST BE HONEST WITH BRACKET, IT’S MIDWEST AGAINST EVERYONE. >> I GOT A LINE WINNING AT ALL. WHAT DO YOU THINK? OH, OH, NO. AS A SHADOW, I REALLY LIKE YOU. KIND OF REPEAT YOU LOOK AT THIS, YOU KIND OF TEAM

THERE. ABSOLUTELY AS COMPLETE A TEAM AS THERE IS IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY’VE GOTTEN BETTER AS THE SEASON HAS GONE ALONG. THEY WERE BANGED UP AND INJURED EARLY IN THE SEASON. THEIR SEVEN FOOT TWO INCH POST GUARD DONOVAN KLAY, AGAIN, HE WAS OUT FOR A WHILE HE’S BACK HE’S PLAYING BETTER

THAN EVER. STEFAN CASSEL, ONE OF THE FRESHMEN WHO’S AN ELITE DEFENDER AT SIX SIX AND A PRETTY GOOD PLAYMAKER. HE WAS OUT EARLY IN THE SEASON. HE’S FULL SPEED. I CALL THEM WHAC-A-MOLE. WHY DO YOU THINK MAC MORE? BECAUSE IF ONE GUY GOES DOWN, SOMEONE ELSE STEPS UP,

THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO BEAT, AND THEY’VE GOT A TERRIFIC POINT GUARD INTEREST IN. >> NEWTON DANNY HURLEY IS A ONE OF PROBABLY THE TOP TWO OR THREE BEST COACHES IN ALL COLLEGE BASKETBALL. THEY PLAY WITH A GREAT PURPOSE. I’VE GOT CONNECTICUT WINNING IT ALL. I KNOW IT’S DIFFICULT, BUT I

THINK THIS GAME IS BUILT FOR IT. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE’VE GOT THE CINDERELLAS . OF COURSE. WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS. WHICH SURPRISE TEAMS DO YOU THINK ARE GOING TO STILL BE DANCING NEXT WEEKEND? >> WELL, IT’S KIND OF INTERESTING. DUKE JUST HAD A HUGE, HUGE WIN JUST NOW AGAINST A VERY

GOOD BYU TEAM. BUT YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF CINDERELLAS AND NEW MEXICO IS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING ONE. NEW MEXICO. WE’VE GOT A PITINO IN THE AND SHE GOT BY GERMAN CHAMP RICK PITINO IN SAINT JOHN’S COACH. IT’S HIS SON, RICHARD PITINO. AND THIS IS AN INTERESTING TEAM. NEW MEXICO.

THEY’RE A TEAM THAT HAS THE SON OF JAMAL MASHBURN GOT THIS TEAM THAT HAS THE SON OF JALEN HOUSE OR EDDIE HOUSE AND JAILHOUSE. THEY’RE COACHED BY RICHARD PITINO. THEY’VE GOT A TERRIFIC IN DONOVAN DENT. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL TEAM THAT CAN REALLY SCORE. I THINK THAT NEW MEXICO’S TEAM

THAT IF YOU HAVEN’T FILLED OUT YOUR BRACKET YET, YOU WANT TO GET THEM IN A LITTLE BIT, MAKE SOME CHANGES BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T PLAYED YET IN MEXICO THE TEAM THAT POTENTIALLY CAN MAKE A RUN IN THE SECOND WEEKEND. >> HMM. SO YOU LIKE THEM AS KIND OF ONE

OF THE UNDERDOGS WHO COULD GO A LONG SO YOU’VE GOT UCONN TAKING OUT WHO ELSE IS IN YOUR FINAL FOUR. OKAY. UCONN, ARIZONA PURDUE NOT PER DOUBT AND KENTUCKY. OH, KENTUCKY BECAUSE OF ROB DILLINGHAM. YOU GOT IT. ROB DILLINGHAM IS A BAD MAN.

HE IS A HE IS A HE CAN FLAT OUT HE HAS A BUCKET WITH THE KIDS WOULD SAY, WELL, GOT DON’T HAVE READ SHEPHERD ANTONIO, THOSE THREE GUYS IN THE BACKCOURT ARE JUST DYNAMIC PROBABLY THE BEST BACKCOURT IN THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF SCORING THE BALL

BUT GOING AND IS HE JUST FUN TO WATCH HE TAKES AND MAKES SHOTS THAT VERY FEW GUYS CAN TAKE AND MAKE EXCEPT FOR THE GUYS THAT ARE IN THE NBA. HE’S GOING TO BE A TERRIFIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER AT THE NEXT LEVEL. REED SHEPPARD IS A TERRIFIC PLAYER AT THE NEXT LEVEL, AS IS

ANTONIO REIS. SO I REALLY LIKE BUILDING HIM AND THE OTHER GUY THAT I THINK JUMPS OUT OF DARK CONNECTED TENNESSEE HE CONNECTS BEEN ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC AT TENNESSEE SIX SEVEN COULD REALLY SHOOT THE BALL COULD PLAY OFF THE BOUNCE THEY COULD POST THEM HE’S AT 3035 POINT GAMES HE IS UNIQUE OFFENSIVE

TALENT AS WELL SO THOSE TWO GUYS GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH. >> ALL RIGHT. AS I WAIT FOR CAITLIN CLARK, THERE’S SOMEONE FUN TO WATCH. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL. OKAY, SETH, I WANT YOU ON THE RECORD NOW. COME BACK AND TALK TO US THROUGH THE ENTIRE THE ENTIRE

TIME. >> DO YOU MIND GUYS AND GALS? MY PLEASURE. GLAD TO BACK. WE’RE BOOKING YOU NOW. THANK YOU. SETH. >> AND THANKS FOR STICKING WITH US. I’M PHILLIPS, AND I’M TERRY MORAN. >> THE NEWS NEVER STOPS. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. >> THE INTERNET CAN A SCARY PLACE TO HIDE MY NAME.

MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, MY ADDRESS, AND THE NAMES OF MY HUSBAND AND SON. >> BUT WHAT’S HAPPENING? WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GET MARRIED? I LOVED HIM. IT’S JUST BEEN CRAZY. YOU JUST BOTH LIED TO ME AND MADE UP A WHOLE STORY. >> DID I?

IS THIS PERSON ACTUALLY WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE? IF YOU THINK YOU CAN’T GET PLAYED, JUST WATCH THIS. HOW I GOT PLAYED. THIS IS “IMPACT X NIGHTLINE”. NOW STREAMING ON HULU RIGHT NOW ON ABC NEWS LIVE. MAINTAINING MONOPOLY. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS APPLE IS GUILTY OF BLOCKING, SUPPRESSING AND MANIPULATING

THE SMARTPHONE. WHAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS AFTER A YEAR LONG INVESTOR SESSION AND WHAT APPLE IS NOW SAYING, PUSHING FOR A CEASE FIRE. THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS IN EGYPT AS HUNGER CONTINUES RAVAGE GAZA. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE YOU THERE. THE HORRIFYING AND DEHUMANIZING ATTACKS ON TWO BLACK MEN IN MISSISSIPPI.

THE SIX SHERIFF DEPUTIES NOW FACING FOR THEIR UNBELIEVABLE AND ATROCIOUS BEHAVIOR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I’M KYRA PHILLIPS. AND I’M TERRY MORAN. AND OUR TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR. TAKING A BITE OUT OF APPLE. YOU MIGHT CALL THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE IPHONES. AND NOW THE DEPARTMENT

OF JUSTICE IS SAYING THAT IS PARTLY BECAUSE THE TECH GIANT HAS CREATED WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS CALLING AN ILLEGAL MONOPOLY ON THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. THE DOJ FILING AN ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE TODAY WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND SAYING THAT HAS MAINTAINED ITS POWER THROUGH ANTI-COMPETITIVE AND EXCLUSIONARY CONDUCT.

>> JOINING US NOW IS CHIEF JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PIERRE THOMAS. AND EVER SINCE, BUSINESS REPORTER ALEXIS CHRISTOFOROUS. SO, PIERRE, FIRST OF ALL, AND ANTI-COMPETITIVE MONOPOLY IN MARKETS, HOW DO THEY REACH THAT CONCLUSION? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE, THE ANDROIDS AND FLIP PHONES AND BURNER PHONES AND DOES GOOGLE REALLY NEED THE HELP

OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. WHAT’S THE DOJ DOING HERE? ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID, TERRY, RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS THAT APPLE MANY OF US DID NOT KNOW THIS IS STILL CONTROLLING ABOUT 70%, SEVEN ZERO, 70% OF THE SMARTPHONE MARKET. AND WHAT DOJ IS CLAIMING, WHAT THEY’RE CLAIMING

THAT APPLE HAS DONE IS TO BASICALLY ENSURE THAT THE APPLE PHONE REMAINS DOMINANT BY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO DO THINGS USING OTHER TYPES OF SMARTPHONES FOR. THEY SAY IT’S MORE DIFFICULT TO GET NOT DESIGNED BY APPLE TO WORK ON YOUR APPLE PHONE, THAT THEY MAKE TEXT MESSAGING

MORE DIFFICULT FOR SMARTPHONES OTHER THAN APPLE PHONES AND ALSO THEY MENTION THAT IF YOU HAVE A SMARTWATCH, IT’S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO MAKE IT OPERATE WITH THAT APPLE PHONE. IF IT’S NOT A APPLE BASED WATCH. AND THEN THIRDLY, THEY’RE SAYING AGAIN, THE APPS THE APPS ARE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT YOU, THE CONSUMER, ARE PAYING MORE BECAUSE APPLE IS DOMINATING AND CONTROLLING THE MARKET. >> ALEXIS, HOW COULD THIS POTENTIALLY IMPACT CONSUMERS? I MEAN, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY PHONE RIGHT AT

THE END OF THE DAY, THAT’S THE QUESTION. HOW DOES THIS IMPACT ME? AND I THINK THE SHORT ANSWER IS IT’S NOT GOING TO IMPACT YOU AT LEAST FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. WE KNOW HISTORY TELLS US THESE ANTITRUST TYPE CASES AGAINST BIG CONGLOMERATES CAN TAKE YEARS. SOME ARE SAYING THIS COULD

ACTUALLY TAKE A DECADE FOR APPLE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS LAWSUIT NOW FROM THE DOJ. >> AND SO CONSUMERS REALLY WON’T SEE ANY CHANGE IN THE WAY THEY USE THEIR IPHONES IN THE U.S.. BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT BUSINESS HAS CHANGED FOR APPLE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION,

WHERE IT WAS FORCED TO COMPLY WITH A NEW EUROPEAN LAW CALLED THE DIGITAL MARKETS ACT. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, IPHONE USERS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION ARE TO DOWNLOAD APPS FROM THIRD PARTY APP STORES. AND APPLE MUST ALLOW ALTERNATE IN-APP PAYMENT SERVICES IN ITS IPHONES ACROSS, THE EUROPEAN UNION.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE IN THE U.S. THAT’S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THE DOJ HAS WITH APPLE AND HAVE DIFFERENT ANTITRUST LAWS THERE. YOU MENTIONED THIS. IT COULD TAKE A DECADE, RIGHT? I COVERED THE MICROSOFT ANTITRUST TRIAL WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BACK THEN IN THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO BREAK

UP MICROSOFT TECH CHANGES SO FAST THE TECH ECONOMY CHANGES SO FAST THAT BY THE TIME THAT THAT LAWSUIT ENDED, IT WAS KIND OF IRRELEVANT. PEOPLE WERE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS AND TECHNOLOGY WAS TOTALLY SO. YEAH. AND I WONDER IF THE LAW CAN UP WITH IT HERE. ONCE AGAIN, I’LL ASK IT IS THE

HAMMER IS THE BIG HAMMER. IS THIS AN ANTI-COMPETITIVE MARKET ENOUGH TO USE IT? THAT’S THE ARGUMENT THAT THE DOJ HAS TO BE CONVINCING. WE KNOW HOW THAT MICROSOFT TURNED OUT. IT WAS OVERTURNED ON APPEAL. MICROSOFT WAS NEVER UP. SOME SAY IT CAME OUT A STRONGER TECH COMPANY IN THE END.

AND YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING? THE TWO MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY ARE MICROSOFT, FOLLOWED BY APPLE, TWO COMPANIES THAT WERE TARGETED ARE TARGETED BY THE DOJ. YOU KNOW, TODAY, APPLE STOCK DOWN ABOUT 3%. IT IS STILL A COMPANY THAT IS VALUED AT $3 TRILLION, GUYS.

>> AND WE’LL HEAR IT HAS APPLE RESPONDING. >> AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? WELL, APPLE PUT OUT A STATEMENT TODAY BASICALLY SAYING THAT JUSTICE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ACTIONS WOULD BASICALLY PUT A PATH THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE.

AND THEY ALSO SAID IT BASICALLY BEARS ON THE WAY AND TRADITION AND THE STYLE OF OPERATION THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE. AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT BASICALLY SETS UP A PRECEDENT WHERE GOVERNMENT IS LITERALLY TRYING TO DICTATE HOW TECHNOLOGY IS DEVELOPED IN EXECUTED. NOW, IT’S INTERESTING, DOJ OFFICIALS DID TRY TO MAKE

THE CASE TODAY THAT THEIR ANTITRUST ACTIONS AGAINST MICROSOFT, WHILE IT DIDN’T DO ALL THE THINGS THAT MAYBE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OUT FOR IT TO DO IN THEIR MIND. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DID DO WAS CREATE MORE COMPETITION THAT LED TO APPLE ACTUALLY BEING CREATED. AND FOR GOOGLE TO BE WHAT IT

>> WE AGREED TODAY ALL OF THE MINISTERS THAT WE WOULD GET OUR EXPERTS TOGETHER IN THE COMING DAYS TO IDENTIFY THE URGENT, PRACTICAL AND STEPS THAT CAN AND SHOULD BE TAKEN TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF ASSISTANCE. ISRAEL NEEDS TO DO MORE. WE DISCUSSED AND ON THE NEED

FOR LONG TERM PEACE AND BLINKEN IS AIMING TO ALSO SECURE THE RELEASE OF ALL THE REMAINING HOSTAGES, BRINGING MORE HUMANITARIAN AID TO GAZA AND THAT PUSH FOR A CEASE FIRE COMES AT A CRUCIAL TIME. THE UNITED NATIONS IS NOW WARNING OF TOTAL FAMINE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE GAZA

BY MAY, A FEW WEEKS FROM NOW, UNLESS A CEASE FIRE HAPPENS. EVEN WITH ALL THE MOUNTING PRESSURE, ISRAEL CONTINUES TO STRIKE AREAS IN THE NORTH, INCLUDING THE AL-SHIFA HOSPITAL WHERE THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES ARE CONDUCTING PRECISE OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY, AS THEY CALL IT, AT THE MEDICAL COMPLEX THERE. ABC NEWS SENIOR WHITE

HOUSE CORRESPONDENT SELINA AND FORMER CIA FIELD OPERATIVE DARRELL BLOCKER JOIN US NOW. SO SELINA RIGHT NOW THE STORY IS CLEARLY THE GROWING DISTANCE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL BETWEEN JOE BIDEN AND, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. >> WE’RE LEARNING SOME DETAILS, I GUESS, ABOUT A U.S. RESOLUTION AS AS SECRETARY

OF STATE, BLINKEN IS IN EGYPT THAT CALLS FOR A CEASE FIRE. SO WHAT’S THE U.S. PUSHING FOR ON THIS LATEST TOUR? AND WHAT ABOUT THAT GAP BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND, JERUSALEM? >> WELL, TERRY, YOU’RE RIGHT. ALL OF THIS COMES AGAINST THE PICTURE OF THOSE FRUSTRATIONS FROM THE U.S. PRESIDENT TOWARDS ISRAELI PRIME .

THOSE PRIVATE FRUSTRATIONS NOW REALLY SPILLING OUT INTO THE OPEN. AND WHAT WE’RE SEEING WITH THAT, YOU WOULD DRAFT RESOLUTION, WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE, IT’S NOT A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE’VE BEEN HEARING FROM THE U.S., BUT THOSE CALLS FOR THIS IMMEDIATE SUSTAINED CEASE FIRE. THEY ARE GOING MORE FORCEFUL.

THEY’RE ASKING FOR THIS TO BE TIED TO THE RELEASE OF HOSTAGES. THE SECRETARY OF STATE NOT PUTTING A TIMELINE ON THIS, BUT HE IS SAYING THAT THE GAPS ARE CLOSING. THE U.S. ALSO PUSHING TO DO MORE TO ALLOW HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND THE U.S. IS RESORTING TO THESE VERY COMPLEX AND EXPENSIVE OPERATIONS, EXTREMELY

COMPLICATED, LIKE THESE AIRDROPS, INCLUDING BUILDING THAT FLOATING PIER TO GET AID THROUGH BY SEA. BUT SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN DRIVING HOME THAT THOSE LAND CROSSINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. AND THIRDLY, SECRETARY OF STATE ALSO LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT HAPPENS THE DAY, HOW TO CREATE SUSTAINED, LASTING PEACE .

SO, DARYL, HOW MUCH SWAY DO YOU THINK BLINKEN STILL HAS THESE NEGOTIATIONS? IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ISRAEL IS JUST ACTING IN SPITE OF THE U.S. EVERY TIME IT MAKES A RECOMMENDATION. >> I THINK THE SECRETARY INFLUENCE IS STILL REALLY SOUND. >> THE FACT THAT THE THE FOREIGN HIS COUNTERPART

IN THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT WAS ON CAMERA TODAY. THEY DON’T TYPICALLY PUT THEMSELVES OUT THERE UNLESS THINGS SEEM BE MOVING IN A IN A POSITIVE IN A POSITIVE MOTION AND THEN DEALING WITH THE EGYPTIANS ON EXCHANGES LIKE THIS SINCE THE SUEZ CANAL, IN FACT, 56 SINCE THE 79 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO

NATIONS AND EGYPT HAS STEPPED UP MANY, MANY TIMES. >> AND THAT’S A VERY GOOD SIGN SELINA. DARYL THANKS, GUYS. >> SO NOW TO THE GROWING HUNGER CRISIS WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN HAITI AND RACE TO EVACUATE STRANDED AMERICANS AS ARMED GANGS CONTINUE TO CONTROL THE STREETS AND FIGHT FOR POWER.

AND NOW WE HAVE THESE IMAGES OF AMERICANS RACING TOWARD HELICOPTERS COMING IN TO THEM. EMOTIONAL REUNIONS, YOU CAN SEE TAKING OVERNIGHT IN FLORIDA. SOME FAMILIES SEPARATED FROM YOUNG CHILDREN FOR WEEKS. AND THEN BECAUSE THESE ARMED GANGS JUST REALLY RAVAGED THE HAITIAN CAPITAL FOR WEEKS NOW, THEY BASICALLY THE CITY MOVING AROUND, TERRORIZING

NEIGHBORHOODS, TORCHING POLICE STATIONS, EVEN RELEASING THOUSANDS OF INMATES FROM HAITI’S TWO BIGGEST PRISONS. >> IT’S CHAOS THERE. IT’S MADNESS. A REPORT BACKED BY THE UNITED NATIONS IS SHOWING HOW THIS CHAOS IS CAUSING AND BRINGING HAITI’S HEALTH CARE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ITS KNEES. THE STUDY CITES A LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE

WORKERS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, ALONG WITH BLOOD SHORTAGES. YOU SEE THE PICTURES. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT IT’S TO TRY TO FIND A DOCTOR THERE RIGHT NOW. JOINING US NOW, SOMEONE WHO CAN SPEAK DIRECTLY TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES. JEAN-MARC DE MATTEO IS CEO OF THE ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL THERE IN HAITI AND AN

ACTIVE BOARD MEMBER AT THE WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. SO GLAD THAT YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO CHECK IN WITH US. YOU KNOW, THERE’S NOT ONLY THESE ARMED GANGS, AS WE JUST MENTIONED, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE THERE, YOU’RE SEEING IT THAT ARE VYING CONTROL AND FOR POWER. BUT NOW ALL THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE JUST FIGHTING

TO SURVIVE THERE. THEY’RE STRUGGLING TO FIND FOOD. AND I KNOW WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN HAS JUMPED IN. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE SITUATION, WHAT YOU’VE WITNESSED AND HOW YOUR HELPING . >> KYRA, THANK YOU. IT’S REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND HERE IN HAITI RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT IS ON THE BRINK OF FAMINE. 500,000 PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY RISK OF STARVATION IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ARE AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY FROM MIAMI. >> I MEAN, THAT’S JUST STAGGERING THAT JUST A JUST OFF OF OUR. AND I WANT TO ASK YOU, GIVEN

YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD, HOW DOES IT COMPARE AND WHAT’S HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE IN NEED OF MEDICAL HELP RIGHT NOW, SEEING YOU GETTING TO A DOCTOR, IT MUST BE A NIGHTMARE. >> THE LATEST ESTIMATES ARE 80% OF THE HOSPITALS ARE CLOSED. THERE IS CHAOS IN THE STREETS

A THOUSAND YARDS FROM WHERE I’M SPEAKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE BODIES PILED UP IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW. A THOUSAND YARDS FROM WHERE I’M SITTING. SO RATHER REGULAR CARE IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE. HOSPITALS ARE OUT OF MEDICINE. MEDICAL STAFF CANNOT GET HOSPITALS. THEY ARE SHELTERING IN THEIR HOMES.

THEY CAN’T GET FOOD FOR THE HALF THEIR FAMILIES, LET ALONE COME TO WORK. >> MEDICINES ARE NOT THE PORT, THE MAIN PORT THAT FEEDS AND BRINGS IN ALL MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO A COUNTRY OF 12 MILLION PEOPLE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CLOSED, SHUT DOWN OFF BY THE GANGS FOR WEEKS. >> THE ONLY INTERNATIONAL

AIRPORT HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY GANGS FOR WEEKS. THERE IS NO WAY IN. THERE’S NO WAY OUT OF HAITI AND THERE’S CERTAINLY NO WAY TO BRING IN ANY KIND OF SUPPLIES ABOUT IT. >> SO WHAT’S ALBERT SCHWEITZER HOSPITAL LIKE RIGHT NOW? >> WE’RE IN A SITUATION WE PRE-POSITIONED A LOT OF MEDICAL

SUPPLIES. WE HAVE AN INDEPENDENT POWER GRID, THE SOLAR POWER GRID, THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. AND WE ALSO HAVE A 100 ACRE CAMPUS. SO OUR POSITIONS AND ALL OF OUR STAFF, WE HAVE 540 FULL TIME STAFF, 100% OF THEM ARE HAITIAN PHYSICIANS, NURSES. THEY LIVE OUT OF OUR CAMPUS.

AND SO WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW HOSPITALS REMAINING THAT ARE OPEN AND WE HAVE ALL OXYGEN GENERATING PLANT, BUT WE OVERWHELMED BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER SURROUNDING HOSPITALS ARE CLOSED. AND RIGHT NOW, GUNSHOT VICTIMS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY ARE THE LARGEST SOURCES OF OF OVER CAR ACCIDENTS AND EVERYTHING.

>> RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS RIGHT NOW. AND CLEARLY, YOU’VE GOT WAIT THIS OUT. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD, JOHN, WHILE YOU HAVE THIS THIS PLATFORM?

IT’S I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO TAKE THE CONVERSATION IF YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO HELP OR EVEN GET OUT, IF PEOPLE CAN’T COME TO THE HOSPITAL, YOU CLEARLY CAN’T GET TO THEM EITHER WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK. SO, I MEAN, DO YOU SEE ANY TYPE OF SOLUTION HERE AS HELICOPTERS

ARE COMING IN AND GETTING AMERICANS OUT? >> WHAT DO YOU NEED AT THIS MOMENT? >> YOU KNOW, AT THIS MOMENT HERE, THERE’S THE ONLY SOLUTION IS THE INTERNATIONAL ARMED TO COME AND RESTORE SECURITY AND REALLY SHOULD BE REFERRING TO IT NOW AS A MASSIVE HUMANITARIAN MISSION. THESE NUMBERS ARE WHAT

I’M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. NO FOOD IS GETTING IN. SO PROJECT OUT TOMORROW. FIVE DAYS FROM NOW, TEN DAYS FROM NOW. THIS CITY IN PORT AU PRINCE, THE CITY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, IS COMPLETELY UNDER SIEGE. >> IT ALSO FEEDS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT NEEDS THE 12 MILLION PEOPLE.

THE NUMBERS I’M GIVING YOU ARE TODAY’S NUMBERS SEVEN DAYS FROM NOW. IT’S UNIMAGINABLE. >> YEAH. WELL, WE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING YOUR AND MORAL WITNESS ACCOUNT ON THE MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS. AND GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU, TERRY. THANK YOU, PAUL. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING

THE SPOTLIGHT ON HAITI. >> PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH US . SO BACK HERE AT HOME, LETICIA JAMES, WELL, SHE’S TELLING DONALD, NOT SO FAST. THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL URGING, AN APPEALS COURT NOW TO IGNORE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S CLAIM THAT SECURING A BOND IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AFTER A JUDGE

ORDERED HIM TO PAY NEARLY A HALF BILLION DOLLAR CIVIL FRAUD. >> IF DONALD TRUMP FAILS TO SECURE SOME OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE TO PAY THIS BOND BY MONDAY. ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES CAN BEGIN TO DRAIN HIS BANK ACCOUNTS, SEIZE HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES. THERE’S THIS JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM.

IF SHE CAN ENFORCE IT. LET’S BRING IN ABC NEWS SENIOR INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT AARON KATERSKY ALONG WITH INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AND PRODUCER OLIVIA RUBIN. SO ERIN, WHAT’S THE LATEST ON LETITIA JAMES MOVING FORWARD TO TAKE POSSESSION OF TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF COURSE IN BRIARCLIFF MANOR AND SEVEN SPRINGS PRIVATE ESTATE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK?

>> THAT SOUNDS YEAH, AT THIS POINT, SHE’S REALLY GOING HIS JUGULAR AND SHE WELL, SHE MAY. >> AND IF HE IS UNABLE TO SECURE A BOND AND TRUMP’S LAWYERS SAY IT’S PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DO SO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF ALL THE INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES SHE NEEDS TO TAKE A FEW

PREREQUISITE STEPS, AND SHE’S NOW DONE THAT BY REGISTERING THE JUDGMENT THAT WAS THAT INITIATED IN MANHATTAN, IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE IN WESTCHESTER. SO SHOULD SHE FEEL IT NECESSARY TO TRY TO SEIZE THE GOLF COURSE AND THE ESTATE IN WESTCHESTER, SHE NOW HAS THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. >> SO OLIVIA, LAWYERS SAY

THAT MORE THAN 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES TURNED HIM DOWN. DOES THE FORMER PRESIDENT REALLY HAVE THAT BAD OF LUCK OR DO THESE COMPANIES JUST NOT TRUST HIM? WELL, IF YOU LISTEN TO DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEYS, WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS THAT THESE BOND COMPANIES JUST WON’T TAKE DONALD TRUMP’S REAL AS COLLATERAL.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR CASH FOR THOSE BONDS AND WHAT HIS LAWYERS HAVE SAID WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS A VERY HEALTHY, VERY ROBUST FINANCIAL SITUATION. THEY DON’T HAVE SORT OF LIQUID CASH ON HAND. SO IF THEY DON’T HAVE THE CASH AND THEY’RE NOT ABLE TO PUT UP REAL ESTATE AS THE

BOND, THAT LEAVES THEM IN A NO WIN SITUATION WHERE THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN PUT UP AND, WHAT THEY HAVE SAID IS THAT LEAVES US WITH THE ONLY OPTION OF BUYING OR SELLING ASSETS TO TRY TO COME UP WITH THE CASH FOR BOND. BUT THEY SAY THAT WOULD NOT

BE FAIR BECAUSE SHOULD DONALD TRUMP WIN ON APPEAL, THAT MEANS HE’S LOST THOSE ASSETS. HE CAN’T GET THEM BACK. SO THAT’S ISSUE WITH THE BOND IN A NUTSHELL. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, STAY TUNED. OLIVIA RUBIN, AARON KATERSKY, THANK YOU. >> AND COMING UP, SIX SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES IN THE HORRIFIC

TORTURE OF TWO BLACK MEN. >> WELL, JUSTICE EVER BE SERVED IN THIS CASE. >> COMING UP NEXT. >> THIS IS ABC NEWS LIVE WITH THE CRUSH OF FAMILIES HERE IN POLAND AT A REFUGEE CENTER IN PUTIN’S RUSSIA. ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE, CLOSE TO THE FRONT LINE FROM THE CAPITAL.

A WILD RIDE TO THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN L.A., SOMETHING CAUGHT ON CAMERA. TAKE US THROUGH ALL THIS. YEAH. AND WE CAN SMILE IT BECAUSE THANKFULLY, NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. >> RIGHT. BUT THIS THIS WAS JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. POLICE SAY A MAN GOT ON METRO

BUS, PULLED OUT A B.B. GUN. BUT THE THING IS, THIS GUN WAS DESIGNED TO LIKE A REAL GUN, YOU KNOW, SO NO ONE’S TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT’S REAL OR NOT AT THE. >> THE BUS THEN CAN BE SEEN ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAREENING DOWN CITY STREETS AND AT ONE PARTICULAR INTERSECTION

RIGHT HERE, IT HITS ANOTHER CAR. YOU SEE THIS? THEN IT WENT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR BEFORE FINALLY CRASHING INTO THE RITZ-CARLTON HOTEL. AS YOU MENTIONED HERE, ACCORDING TO FOLKS AT METRO, THE MAN WITH THE B.B. GUN DROPPED THAT B.B. GUN AND TOOK OFF. POLICE QUICKLY WERE ABLE TO ARREST HIM. THAT’S GOOD.

AND YOU MENTIONED ONE WAS INJURED. SO I WONDER WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHY HE DIDN’T, WHAT IT WAS THAT HE WAS PROTESTING THE BUS FARE. HE DIDN’T TO PAY THE BUS FARE. >> NOBODY ELSE WAS OUT THERE. YOU KNOW? RIGHT. I HAVE NO WE HAVE NO MOTIVE YET, SO I CAN’T ANSWER

THAT QUESTION. BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS NOBODY WAS ON THE BUS, NO PASSENGERS ON THE BUS AT THE TIME THAT GUNMEN GOT ON WITH THE BEBE GUN. THE DRIVERS, THE BUS AND ONE OF THE CARS THAT THE BUS HIT DURING THAT, YOU KNOW, BUS CAREENING DOWN THE STREETS,

THE TWO OF THEM WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. AT LAST CHECK, THEY WERE IN STABLE CONDITION. NO SERIOUS INJURIES. AND THE GUY WHO GOT ON THE BUS WITH THE B.B. WAS ARRESTED. >> BUT, MAN, THAT IS NOT WHAT LOS ANGELES NEEDS, YOU KNOW? SURE DOESN’T THINK GAINESVILLE .

SO YOU’VE GOT UCONN ON TAKING OUT WHO ELSE IS IN YOUR FINAL FOUR, UCONN, ARIZONA, PURDUE NOT TURNED OUT AND OH, KENTUCKY BECAUSE OF ROB DILLINGHAM. >> YOU GOT IT. ROB. DILLINGHAM IS A BAD MAN. HE IS. HE IS AIKEN FLAT OUT. HE IS A POCKET IS WHAT THE KIDS

REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS, THERE’S STILL A LOT OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND LOCAL LEADERS LEFT IN LIMBO BECAUSE THEY’RE CONCERNED ABOUT FUNDING OF SB-4.

THEY’RE CONCERNED ABOUT TRAINING WHEN IT COMES TO SB-4. THIS IS ALL PROCEDURAL RIGHT NOW. WE HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE MERITS OF THE CASE. RIGHT NOW, YEAH, PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED AND CONFUSED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

WHEN YOU TALK TO DPS TROOPERS, THEY SAY WE’RE READY AND WILLING FOR SB-4. THEY TOOK THE TEMPLATE FROM OPERATION LONE STAR WHICH IS THEIR INITIATIVE TO SLOW THE FLOW OF MIGRANTS BY ARRESTING. THEY’VE TAKEN THAT TEMPLATE WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSPORTATION, GOING THROUGH A MAGISTRATE AND

THEN TRYING TO GET THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY BY WORKING WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. THEY SAID THEY’LL USE THAT WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SB-4. THE TROOPERS ARE READY TO GO. WHEN YOU TALK TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE EL PASO, TEXAS, THEY’RE IN

A STATE OF CONFUSION AND CONCERN. FOR THEM IT’S A RESOURCES SITUATION, IT’S A TRAINING SITUATION. THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS. THEY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT PEOPLE ON OVERTIME TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY. FOR THEM, SPEAKING TO SEVERAL OF

THEIR COMMANDERS IN THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, HE SAID, WE’LL ENFORCE THE LAW, THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW, THE LAWS THAT MAKE A PRIORITY OF OUR PEOPLE HERE, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE FOR FEDERAL AGENTS.

THAT’S WHAT WE’RE HEARING FROM A LOT OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY LIKE THE CONCEPT OF WHAT THIS COULD BE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. >> DeMarco: SO WHAT COMES NEXT IN THIS LEGAL BATTLE? >> Reporter: THAT’S A BIG QUESTION. RIGHT NOW WE’RE WAITING ON THE

PROCEDURAL PARTS OF THIS, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE FIFTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS. THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE IT WILL BE APPEALED TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. EVENTUALLY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WE WILL HAVE A DEBATE. WE’LL HAVE THE CASE BE HEARD ON THE MERITS. IS SB-4 LEGAL?

UNTIL THEN, WE’RE STILL KIND OF IN LIMBO RIGHT NOW, WHICH MEANS WE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THIS LAW IN PLACE AT SOME POINT. >> Eva: WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS LOOKING LIKE RIGHT NOW AT THE BORDER? >> Reporter: YOU KNOW, IT’S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

THAT PLAYS INTO THE ESSENCE OF SB-4 AND THE ARGUMENT WE’RE HEARING FROM THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE ESPECIALLY. WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS IN DECEMBER, ONE PARTICULAR DAY WE SAW A RECORD-SETTING NUMBER OF 11,000 APPREHENSIONS AT THE BORDER ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER IN

ONE DAY. NUMBERS LIKE THAT WERE BEING REPORTED THROUGHOUT DECEMBER. NOW, TODAY WE’RE LOOKING AT AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4,000 MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER. WHILE THAT NUMBER SEEMS HIGH, IT’S MANAGEABLE. THERE ARE PROCESSES IN PLACE IN ORDER TO HELP NOT JUST FEDERAL

AGENTS, BUT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS AS WELL. AGAIN, THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW IS STILL VERY COLD AT A LOT OF THE BORDER CITIES. AS IT WARMS UP, WE COULD SEE AN INCREASE IN APPREHENSIONS. AGAIN, WITH THE CHAOS HAPPENING WITH SB-4 AND ALSO ON THE

FEDERAL LEVEL, NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A BORDER SECURITY PACKAGE PASSED AND FUNDING TO FEDERAL AGENTS, ALL OF THAT PLAYS INTO WHAT THE CARTELS ARE TELLING MIGRANTS COMING OVER FROM THE SOUTH AND ACROSS THE WORLD, AGAIN, WE COULD SEE THOSE NUMBERS INCREASE.

PROPERLY USE THIS. CHECK THE DATE ON THE INHALER TO MAKE SURE IT’S NOT EXPIRED. SHAKE IT WELL. ONE OF THE THINGS I REMIND PATIENTS WHEN YOU USE IT, BEFORE YOU INHALE, EXHALE, BREATHE OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WRAP YOUR LIPS TIGHTLY AROUND THE EXPOSED AREA AND TAKE A DEEP

BREATH AND HOLD THAT BREATH FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS. ONE OF THE METHODS I THINK IS HELPFUL AND I USE IT WITH MY PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IS ASKING THE PHARMACIST FOR A SPACER. THIS IS HELPFUL IF YOU FIND YOU’RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH OF THE MEDICATION.

PLACE THIS DEVICE ON THE SPACER AND IT PUTS THE MEDICATION INTO THIS CHAMBER SO YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF INHALES AND GETTING THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF DOSE YOU SHOULD GET. IT’S SOMETHING THAT’S REALLY HELPFUL. >> Eva: I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.

SOME STUFF TO MAKE TO GO WITH THIS YOGURT. SO REALLY EASY. WE’RE GOING TO DO SOME SEASONED YOGURT. >> WE’VE GOT WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS HERE ON ABC NEWS . WE WANT TO TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO BOISE, IDAHO, WHERE WE UNDERSTAND HAS BEEN A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE CASE OF TWO

SUSPECTS THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. WE ARE TOLD BY SOURCES WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT THAT THESE SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN FOUND. WE TO GO AHEAD AND LISTEN IN ARE GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP . I WANT TO BEGIN TODAY BY ANNOUNCING THAT RIGHT AROUND 2 P.M. THIS AFTERNOON FOLLOWING A LENGTHY INVESTIGATION,

THE TWO SUSPECTS WHO WE HAVE BEEN SEEKING WERE LOCATED IN TWIN FALLS IN THE TWIN FALLS AREA. THERE WAS A SHORT VEHICLE PURSUIT AND SUSPECTS WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. SEPARATELY, THERE WERE NO SHOTS FIRED OR EXTENSIVE USE OF FORCE IN THIS OPERATION, FOR WHICH WE ARE THANKFUL, OBVIOUSLY,

THAT JUST WITHIN LESS THAN AN HOUR. AND SO WE DO NOT A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THE ARREST RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH YOU AND WE WILL BE GATHERING THOSE DETAILS AND PROVIDING THEM AS SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

AND WE ONCE AGAIN WANT TO MAKE KNOWN SKYLER MEAD AND NICHOLAS ANTHONY, OUR ARE IN CUSTODY. I WOULD LIKE TO TURN THE TIME NOW OVER TO RETIRED COLONEL SHELDON KELLEY OF THE IDAHO STATE POLICE, BECAUSE THIS INVESTIGATION HAS GROWN IMMENSELY OVER THE LAST 24 TO 36 HOURS AND HAS INVOLVED

NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND CRIMES ACROSS THE STATE OF IDAHO. AND SO TO SPEAK, TO SOME OF THOSE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WELL. >> LIEUTENANT COLONEL KELLEY. THANK YOU, CHIEF. AGAIN, MY NAME IS KELLEY. I’M LIEUTENANT COLONEL GARRISON . I’M CHIEF OF OPERATIONS. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK

ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS IDAHO THAT ASSISTED WITH THIS. I KNOW IT’S THE IDAHO, BUT THERE WAS AN IMMENSE COLLABORATION AND COOPERATION ALL ACROSS THE STATE TO COME TO THIS CONCLUSION EVER SINCE IT KICKED OFF, WE’VE HAD PROFESSIONALS WORKING TIRELESSLY ON THIS TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE TODAY

,THROUGH THE COURSE OF THIS INVESTIGATION DETECTIVE, THE LOCATED THE HONDA ACCORD THAT WAS USED IN THE ESCAPE NEAR LELAND, IDAHO, AT ADDITIONALLY ENFORCEMENT AND INVESTIGATING. WE ARE INVESTIGATING TWO HOMICIDE SEPARATE LOCATIONS, THE NEZ PERCE AND CLEARWATER. THESE ARE POTENTIALLY TIED TO INCIDENT. BOTH HOMICIDES INVOLVE ADULT MALES AND DETECTIVES

ARE ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING. NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE HOMICIDES IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, AND THE COUNTY CORONER WILL PROVIDE IDENTITY AS WELL AS THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF DEATH OF THOSE LIKE THE CHIEF SAID AT END OF THIS, IF YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, IF I CAN’T ANSWER, MY WILL IS NOT GOING INVESTIGATION.

AND TO NOT TAKE THAT, NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHARE EVERYTHING AND NOW I’D LIKE TO LET THE DIRECTOR OF THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, JOHN SEEWALD, GIVE AN UPDATE ON HIS. >> THANK YOU, COLONEL. MY NAME IS JOSH TYRRELL. I’M THE DIRECTOR FOR, THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION.

FIRST, JUST NOTHING BUT APPRECIATION FOR THE COOPERATIVE EFFORT FROM FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT, IDAHO AND EVEN NEIGHBORING STATES FOR THEIR COOPERATION IN, HELPING TO BRING THESE TWO SUSPECTS TO JUSTICE. WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE THE NEWS MOMENTS AGO WITH OUR TWO STAFF MEMBERS WHO REMAIN IN THE

HOSPITAL, AND IT’S SAFE TO SAY THEIR SPIRITS WERE LIFTED. WE KNOW, TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THEIR CONDITION. ONE OF OUR OUR OFFICERS WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL LAST EVENING WHILE REMAIN IN THE HOSPITAL, THEY ARE THEY’RE STABLE, IMPROVING. AND I THINK WITH TODAY’S NEWS THEIR SPIRITS LIFTED JUST

TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ON THE OTHER SUSPECT WHO WE BELIEVE HELPED SKYLER MADE ESCAPE AND WHO ACTIVELY ATTACKED OUR STAFF YESTERDAY MORNING. NICHOLAS, UP TO AN HOUR, WE’LL BE POSTING A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HIS HIS CRIMINAL HISTORY AND TIME WITH US AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

TO OUR WEBSITE AND WE’LL SHARE THAT THAT STATE POLICE PPD AS WELL FOR THEM TO DISTRIBUTE BUT ONCE HE WAS IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL SUSPECT YESTERDAY OUR ALONG WITH COOPERATION FROM OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS ,BEGAN TRYING TO TIE HIM WITH SKYLER MEAD. IN ADDITION TO HAVING BOTH HAVING MEMBERSHIP WITH THE AREA

KNIGHTS, THEY SHARED SOME ACQUAINTANCES, SOME COMMON ACQUAINTANCES BOTH IN CUSTODY AS WELL AS IN THE COMMUNITY. LASTLY, THEY DID SOME HOUSING OVERLAP ON AND OFF DECEMBER 29TH, 2020, TO WHEN MR. EISENHOWER WAS RELEASED FROM OUR CUSTODY JANUARY 17TH OF 2024. THAT THEY WERE BOTH HOUSED IN THE IDAHO MAXIMUM SECURITY INSTITUTION.

AND THERE THERE WAS FREQUENT MOVEMENT IN BETWEEN. BUT THERE WERE TIMES WITHIN THAT TIMEFRAME WHERE THEY SHARED THEY WERE IN THE SAME HOUSING UNIT AT OUR FACILITIES. WITH THAT, JUST AGAIN, WANT TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS AND APPRECIATION FOR WHAT WAS A VERY TOUGH FOR THE CORRECTIONS FAMILY. BUT THANKING BP AND THEIR

RESPONSE WAS NOW OVER 36 HOURS AGO DUE TO THE AMBUSH ON OUR STAFF. BUT EVERYBODY WHO’S OFFERED ASSISTANCE AND PUT THEIR SHOULDER INTO HELPING BRINS TO JUSTICE. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR. WE CAN’T POSSIBLY NAME EVERYONE HELPED WITH THIS INVESTIGATION AND THE LAST 36 HOURS. BUT OF PARTICULAR NOTE, I WOULD

CERTAINLY TO THANK THE FBI FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. THEY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AND WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN THE PURSUIT, TAKING IN THE CUSTODY OF THESE GENTLEMEN DOWN IN TWIN FALLS AREA. WE APPRECIATE THEM. AND VIRTUALLY EVERY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE BETWEEN HERE AND NORTHERN IDAHO AND ACROSS THE EASTERN IDAHO, WE THANK

OUR PARTNERS HERE IN THE TREASURE VALLEY FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE, PARTICULARLY JOSH HURWITZ, OUR U.S. ATTORNEY HAS BEEN INVOLVED AND HELPFUL, ALONG WITH THE FBI AND THE ADA COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN AN INTEGRAL PART. THIS INVESTIGATIVE INVESTIGATION PROVIDING SUPPORT AND ALL THE NEEDS THAT WE HAVE COME ACROSS THE LAST

36 HOURS. SO, AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO THANK EVERYONE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO HAVE COME TOGETHER TO DO SOME REALLY GOOD WORK AND REALLY IMPORTANT WORK TO TAKE THESE TWO GENTLEMEN AND. I USE THAT TERM LOOSELY INTO CUSTODY BEFORE THEIR PATH OF DESTRUCTION COULD GET ANY

WIDER. SO THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE TIME FOR A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, BUT WE ARE LIMITED IN WHAT WE CAN RELEASE AT THIS POINT AND WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE INVESTIGATED ALL OF THE LEADS THAT HAVE COME IN.

WE’VE HAD HUNDREDS OF TIPS COME IN FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR WHICH WE ARE ALSO GRATEFUL AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION AS THIS CASE UNFOLDED. COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR ANYONE. FEW REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE DIRECTOR. YES SIR.

YOU KNOW, HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 2020, BUT YOU DID WHAT YOU DO. HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. DO YOU THINK THERE WAS ENOUGH SECURITY WITH HIM WHEN HE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL ON WEDNESDAY? YEAH, I THINK WE’RE CERTAINLY IN THE PROCESS OF OF REVIEWING OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES.

AND I, I THINK ARE TWO THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE EVALUATED IN IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. THE FIRST IS WHETHER OUR STAFF ADHERE TO POLICIES AND PRACTICES. AND I THINK WE FEEL REALLY COMFORTABLE AT THIS POINT IN SAYING THAT OUR POLICIES WERE FOLLOWED. SECURITY WAS ACTUALLY AUGMENTED

AS A RESULT OF MEAD’S HISTORY. SO THEY DID IN FACT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE SECOND PIECE OF THAT, WHICH FALLS SQUARELY ON ME, IS WHETHER POLICIES AND PRACTICES WERE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO PUT OUR STAFF IN A POSITION TO MAINTAIN THEIR SAFETY AND SECURITY. AND SO THAT’S THE PROCESS

THAT’S ONGOING RIGHT NOW FOR DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP AS WELL AS PRISONS LEADERSHIP, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE POSITIONED AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE. BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM OUR INITIAL REVIEW OF EVENTS FACILITY AND IN AUTHORIZING THAT TRANSPORT AND AUGMENTING AS WELL AS THE CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE OF OUR STAFF

IN THE EXECUTION OF THAT OF THAT TRANSPORT, WERE WHOLLY IN LINE OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES. SO THERE WAS MORE PROTECTION AND WAS REQUIRED. CORRECT THE RECORD OF THE QUESTION REALLY ANY INSIGHT INTO HOW SOMEONE WHO’S AN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY PERSON IN THE MOST RESTRICTIVE OF THE PRISON COULD HAVE POSSIBLY

COORDINATED THIS KIND OF ESCAPE ? ABSOLUTELY. THAT AND THAT’S WHAT WE’VE TURNED OUR INVESTIGATIVE TOWARDS FERRETING OUT WHAT WE DO KNOW. AND IS, I THINK, A CHALLENGE THAT PLAGUES CORRECTIONS. THE COUNTRY IS CONTRABAND, CELL PHONES, OTHER THIRD PARTIES, OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATING. KNOW ONE OF OUR ONE OF THE

THINGS WE WE TRY VERY HARD TO INTERDICT OR THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE IN CUSTODY TO FURTHER THEIR CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ON THE OUTSIDE OR WITHIN OUR SECURE INSTITUTIONS SO WE KNOW THAT THAT THERE ARE WAYS THAT THEY ATTEMPT TO THWART OUR OUR PROCEDURES AND OUR SAFEGUARDS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT RIGHT NOW, IS HOW WHAT WE WE KNOW WITH NEAR CERTAINTY THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A PLANNED EVENT. AND WE’RE CHANNELING EVERY WE HAVE AND TO TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW THEY WENT ABOUT PLANNING. IT WILL BE PAINFUL WHEN

YOU YEAH, THE INFORMATION WE HAVE IS THAT HE WAS HE WAS IN RESTRAINTS WHILE HE WAS BEING ESCORTED OUT OF THAT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. ONCE EVENTS TRANSPIRED, I’LL DEFER TO THE THE PEOPLE INVESTIGATING THOSE EVENTS. BUT — BUT YEAH, HE WAS HE WAS IN RESTRAINTS FOR ANYTHING

TO GET SURE ABOUT HAPPENED FROM THE TIME THEY LEFT THE HOSPITAL AND ALSO IN TERMS OF THE HOMICIDE, IF THERE WERE ANY OR ANY KIND OF HOW WAS IT POSSIBLE TO THAT THAT THERE’S NOT A LOT THAT KNOW. OBVIOUSLY, OUR OUR FOLKS ARE STILL ON THE SAME TABLE

AS HOMICIDE IT HAS NOT BEEN THAT LONG SINCE WE FOUND THIS OUT. SO WE’RE STILL IN THE COMING DAYS, WE WILL WE WILL BE ABLE TO MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER THOSE TIES EXIST OR OR WHAT HAPPENED. YOU ASKED ABOUT HANDCUFFS. WE DIDN’T FIND THE SHACKLES OF THE SAME OF ONE OF

THE HOMICIDES. SO THAT’S ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE TIE THEM TOGETHER WITH THE DOCUMENTATION VEHICLE. >> WE FOUND THE VEHICLE THAT ESCAPED IN UP IN NORTHERN IDAHO AND THEY TOOK ANOTHER VEHICLE. DID ONE SHERIFF’S OFFICE PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING THAT THEY NEEDED TO WORK YESTERDAY. WE GOT A COUPLE OF YEARS.

WHO PUT THAT OUT? DALLAS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE IN MONTANA. IT IS POSSIBLE, YES. SO IT IS POSSIBLE THEY MIGHT HAVE CROSSED A LINE AND IT’S POSSIBLE OKAY. HOW ARE YOU GETTING DETAILS ABOUT HOW THE ARREST WENT DOWN? WHAT SPECIFIC ABOUT WHERE IT HAPPENED, HOW THE CASE WENT ON.

IT IS SO RECENTLY THAT I CAN’T GIVE YOU A LOT. I KNOW THEY WERE LOCATED. THEY DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE FOUND. APPARENTLY THEY TRIED TO FLEE. I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG THAT PURSUIT LASTED IT WAS A TWIN FALLS COUNTY AND THEY WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WITHOUT

SHOTS, ONE BY A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC ENFORCEMENT THERE. HOW WERE THEY FIRED? I DON’T THAT INFORMATION IS ONE OF THE THINGS. HOMICIDE IS ONE OF THESE HOMICIDE VICTIMS. THE OWNER OF THE CAR, THEY WERE DRIVING TO GET THEIR CAR AND SOMEONE KILLED THEM. WE WEREN’T THERE.

THEY DID HAVE HIS CAR. I DON’T KNOW THE INVESTIGATORS THIS. AND WE’RE REALLY WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TRANSPIRED. THEY DIDN’T HAPPEN TO BE A GREAT PACIFIC. AND, YOU KNOW, I DO NOT KNOW IF WHAT YOU’RE SEEING THEY SAY AND IT WAS ALL JUST CURIOUS AND THESE ARE THE TIPS

THAT COME IN THAT HAVE TO SOLVE THIS. YEAH. YEAH. SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH AGENCIES ARE COMING TO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS AGENCIES INVOLVED JUST TO SAY ONE, IT’S UNCLEAR AND IT IS SO FRESH . WE WE KNOW THEY’RE IN CUSTODY. WE DON’T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT TRANSPIRED.

WE ALL HOPE OUR WAS IN FLORIDA UNTIL SUNDAY. I HAVE NO WHAT’S OCCURRED. YOU ARE IN CUSTODY. THEY ARE IN CUSTODY AS FAR AS I KNOW. WE’VE NOT HEARD OF ANY INJURIES SUSTAINED DURING THE TAKEDOWN. WAS THERE ANY GUNFIRE? NO, THERE IS NOT ANY INDICATION THAT THE TWO PEOPLE WERE

KILLED. ANY TIES TO ANY GANGS. >> WE’RE WORKING THAT OUT. I DON’T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THAT AT THIS TIME. OBVIOUSLY AS I SAID, THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING AND WE’LL SORT THAT IN THE COMING DAYS. BUT IT’S TOO SOON TO TELL. SPECULATE ON THAT. BUT ONE OF THOSE HOMICIDES

IN ORLANDO, THEY WERE BOTH IN ONE. WE DON’T KNOW WHERE IT OCCURRED, BUT THEY WERE LOCATED IN RURAL IDAHO. SO BUT IT’S I TELL YOU WHAT, WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS AGAIN, I’M GOING TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE HOMICIDE. ONE, I’M NOT OUR GUYS ARE STILL

ON SCENE DOING THAT JOB UNTIL I DON’T WANT TO GET IT WRONG. WHERE DO YOU BELIEVE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN HEADING TO TWIN FALLS COUNTY? I’M NOT I’M NOT TRYING TO BE SMART. ALL WE IS, THAT’S WHERE THEY ENDED UP AND THAT’S WHERE WE GOT THEM. AGAIN, THE INVESTIGATIONS

ONGOING DOESN’T YOU KNOW THAT THEY WANTED TO GET TO MEET THE PEOPLE THAT THEY KILLED AND WHAT THE MOTIVE AND WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID. I DON’T KNOW WHAT PROGRAM DID YOU WHETHER I REMEMBER VARIOUS NIGHTS, I BELIEVE THE DIRECTOR CONFIRMED THAT. YES. THAT I CAN RECALL.

>> WHAT ROLE DID THE FBI, THEY ASSISTED US IN THERE. I BEING DONE IN THE PRISON TO ADDRESS THAT, GIVEN THAT KNOW, I WILL HAPPILY TURN THIS OVER TO THE DIRECTOR. >> YEAH. THE AREA NIGHTS ARE OF MULTIPLE SECURITY THREAT GROUPS THAT WE MONITOR AND TRY TO INTERRUPT THEIR ACTIVITIES.

YOU KNOW, I THAT THAT’S A DAILY OCCURRENCE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION IS TRYING TO TRYING HELP TRYING TO MITIGATE THE DAMAGE THAT GANGS CAN DO PRIMARILY PRIMARILY WHEN THAT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY CAN EXTEND BEYOND OUR SECURE PERIMETERS AND WIND UP BACK OUT IN OUR COMMUNITIES. BUT IN TERMS OF IN TERMS OF THE

ACTIONS OF SCHUYLER MADE AND NICHOLAS UP WITH OUR, YOU KNOW, THEIR GANG INVOLVEMENT DOESN’T NECESSARILY INDICATE THIS WAS A SOME SORT OF GANG SANCTIONED EVENT IN FACT WE HAVE THAT I THINK THAT’S KNOW I’LL LEAVE IT AT THAT RIGHT NOW BUT — BUT INDEPENDENT OF THEIR ACTIONS THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

AND OUR TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS AND STAFF WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO TRY TO DISRUPT ANY SORT OF ORGANIZED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY THAT THAT HAPPENS WITHIN OUR FACILITIES TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR WHEN THEY WERE ARRESTED IN TWIN FALLS COUNTIES SO THAT THEY WILL START THERE. I’M SURE THEY’LL BE TAKEN

TO THE TWIN FALLS COUNTY JAIL TO BEGIN WITH. FROM THERE AS THE INVESTIGATION PROCEEDS AND WE DEVELOP MORE INFORMATION. NO PROBLEM. THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE THAT WE PROSECUTION IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WAS ALWAYS OBVIOUSLY A BIG IT WAS REPORTED STOLEN AND I THINK WE’RE GOING TO CUT IT OFF AT THAT.

BUT THE ASSOCIATED HOMICIDE WITH THIS CASE BY THAT WE DEVELOPED ON THE SCENES OF THE HOMICIDE AND I CAN’T GO MUCH THAN THAT AND THE HOMICIDE SQUAD LIKE THE LAST IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, THAT’S ALL. THANK YOU, FOLKS. BOUND TOGETHER IN THAT? NO. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. >> OKAY.

YOU JUST HEARD THERE FROM IN BOISE, IDAHO, THAT THE MANHUNT FOR THESE TWO MEN THAT YOU SEE THERE ON YOUR SCREEN NOW IS OFFICIALLY OVER. IT LASTED ABOUT 24 HOURS, NICHOLAS POWER AND ALONG THE OTHER VICTIM EXCUSE ME, THE OTHER SOURCE BACK THERE WERE ON THE RUN FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS.

>> THIS IS AFTER ONE OF THEM ESSENTIALLY ESCAPED FROM A HOSPITAL AFTER HURTING HIMSELF WHILE IN PRISON. AND WHAT AUTHORITIES ARE SAYING RIGHT NOW IS THAT THIS WAS A STATE WIDE SEARCH FOR THESE TWO ARMED AND DANGEROUS MEN. POLICE BELIEVE THAT THEY’RE MEMBERS, A WHITE SUPREMACIST GANG. THEY CALLED IT THE KNIGHTS.

SO, AGAIN, THEY WERE CAUGHT ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER IN TWIN FALLS IDAHO, WHICH IS SOME 2 HOURS AWAY. THEY’RE FROM BOISE. NOW, REMEMBER THAT IN THIS INITIAL INCIDENT, THREE OFFICERS WERE INJURED. TWO OF THEM REMAIN IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW. >> ONE OF THEM WAS TREATED AND RELEASED. AND AUTHORITIES ARE SAYING

THAT WHEN THEY CAPTURED THESE TWO, NO SHOTS WERE FIRED THAT THEY HAVE THEM BOTH IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW, BUT MOST NOTABLY, WHAT WE JUST LEARNED THERE FROM AUTHORITIES IN IDAHO IS THAT THEY ARE NOW INVESTIGATING TWO HOMICIDES. THEY SAY THEY DISCOVERED TWO HOMICIDES WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS, AND THEY’RE

INVESTIGATING TO SEE IF TWO ARE, IN FACT, INVOLVED IN THOSE HOMICIDES. THEY WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY THEY ACTUALLY FOUND SHACKLES AT THE SCENE OF ONE OF THESE HOMICIDES. AND THEY SAY THEY DON’T KNOW THESE TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED, BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE FOUND IN RURAL IDAHO.

SO THIS IS CERTAINLY A DEVELOPING STORY HERE. A LOT MORE TO LEARN. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NYPD CHIEF OF DETECTIVES ROBERT BOYCE. >> SO, CHIEF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US. AND LOOK, LET’S START WITH THE FACT THAT AUTHORITIES SAID,

YOU KNOW, THESE TWO ARE CLEARLY HAVE A HISTORY TOGETHER. IN FACT, THEY WENT AS FAR BACK AS AT LEAST 20, 20. THEY ARE KNOWN TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT THE SYSTEM. AND THEY SAY THAT AT ONE POINT THEY EVEN SHARED HOUSING TOGETHER.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP? WHAT CLEARLY WAS AN ORCHESTRATED ESCAPE AMBUSH ATTACK? >> ALL OF THE ABOVE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT’S INTENDED TERRIBLY TRAGEDY WITH THESE TWO LIVES LOST AND THIS AFTER THIS AMBUSH, I THINK THAT THEY’RE GOING TO MOVE QUICKLY.

BUT NONETHELESS, TWO PEOPLE DIED. SO THESE ARE ULTRA VIOLENT INDIVIDUALS. THEY WERE HOUSED TOGETHER, SOME PACKED PROBABLY WOULD FORWARD BACK IN 2020. THEY’LL GET YOU OUT. AND THEY WERE TALKING BACK TO DETERMINE HOW. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WOULD TIE HOMICIDES TO THESE INDIVIDUALS, THESE THE SHACKLES THAT WERE LEFT AT THE.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S CAUSING ALL OF US IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SWITCH THE CAR OUT. >> WE JUST DIDN’T KNOW WHERE OR HOW KEY HERE IS THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THE TWIN FALLS. THIS IS WHERE HE SHOT THIS YEAR, TEN YEARS AGO AND THEN THIS TIME.

SO HE’S GOING BACK TO WHERE HE LIVES. RIGHT. SO THIS IS REALLY PROBABLY IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. WE SEE THESE PRISONERS. ONCE THEY’RE OUT, THEY GO BACK TO THEIR OWN BASE WHERE THEY WERE, AND THIS PLAYED OUT AGAIN. SO EVEN THOUGH ALL THE STATES AROUND WERE INVOLVED

IN THIS, THEY GO BACK TO HE WENT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE HE GOT IN TROUBLE WITH SHOOTING THE SHERIFF BACK IN HIGH SPEED CHASE, SAME EXACT. IT’S JUST POOR PLANNING AND IT’S JUST ONE OF THESE THINGS SHOWING A CREATURE HABIT. AND YOU’RE RIGHT TO POINT THAT OUT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE THAT. AS HE’S SAYING THERE, ESSENTIALLY, AUTHORITIES SAID THAT THE VEHICLE THEY INITIALLY ESCAPED IN WAS FOUND FURTHER NORTH IN NORTH IDAHO. AND THERE WAS A QUESTION ASKED AT SOME POINT, DO YOU THINK THEY PERHAPS CROSS LINES INTO MONTANA? THEY SAID THEY’RE LOOKING INTO THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN AGAIN IT SEEMS AS IF THEY TRAVERSE BACK DOWN TO TWIN FALLS, BACK TOWARDS THEIR HOME . I ALSO WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER SAN BERNARDINO POLICE CHIEF JARROD BURGUAN FOR MORE ON THIS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US.

LOOK, SKYLER MEAD, HE WAS THE PERSON THAT AUTHORITIES WERE TAKING TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY ALLEGE THAT HE HURT HIMSELF SO BADLY HE NEEDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND THAT’S WHEN AUTHORITIES WERE AMBUSHED BY NICHOLAS POWER. AND THE QUESTION IS BEING RAISED RIGHT NOW TO AUTHORITIES WAS WAS THERE ENOUGH SECURITY AROUND HIM?

AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT WAS AUGMENTED. KNOWING HIS CRIMINAL. >> BUT THEY’RE CERTAINLY LOOKING INTO THAT AT THIS POINT . >> YEAH, I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I’VE SEEN TRANSPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME OUT OF EXTENDED INFECTIONS IN THE HOSPITALS THAT HOSPITAL’S INFECTION OFFICER WERE DUE TO.

THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE THREE I THINK WOULD NORMALLY BE CONSIDERED PRETTY SUFFICIENT UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES AND HAD I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY AMBUSHED WITH THAT GREAT THING BECAUSE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU BETTER HAVE AN INCIDENT OF COMPLACENCY OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, IT’S PRETTY

UNLIKELY IN THE DAYS OF THIS THIS KIND. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INSIGHT. WE APPRECIATE IT. ALSO WANT TO BRING IN ABC NEWS VICTOR OQUENDO. HE’S LIVE FOR US IN BOISE. WAS JUST INSIDE THAT PRESS CONFERENCE AND HAS BEEN COVERING THIS STORY SINCE IT BROKE.

SO, VICTOR, REALLY, IN ESSENCE, THIS ALL HAPPENED PRETTY QUICKLY WITHIN 24 HOURS. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THESE TWO DID A LOT OF TRAVERSING OF A VERY LARGE STATE. SO WHAT IS NEXT HERE IN THE PROCESS NOW THAT THEY HAVE THEM IN CUSTODY? OKAY. SO FIRST THINGS FIRST.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY DO HAVE THESE TWO SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY. THEY CALLED IT A LENGTHY INVESTIGATION AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HELPED BRING THESE TWO GUYS IN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TRAGIC HERE AND OBVIOUSLY TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED AS PART OF THIS ESCAPED TWO ADULT MALES. WE DID ASK STATE WE ASKED

THE CHIEF OF POLICE HERE IN BOISE AS MANY QUESTIONS AS WE COULD ABOUT THEIR IDENTITIES AND WHAT HAPPENED THERE. ANY CONNECTIONS THAT THESE TWO SUSPECTS MIGHT HAVE HAD WITH THE VICTIMS? THEY COULDN’T ELABORATE ON THAT AT ALL. WE DO KNOW THAT THEY DID LEAVE THAT HONDA BEHIND AT ONE POINT

AND NOW THEY HAVE BOTH OF THEM IN CUSTODY. I CAN TELL YOU THAT EARLIER UP IN OUR THE ASSOCIATE THAT HELPED BREAK SKYLER MEAD OUT OF PRISON WAS WANTED ON TWO CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED BATTERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ONE CHARGE OF AIDING AND ABETTING AN ESCAPE. AND NOW, YOU COULD PROBABLY

TACK ON BOTH OF THE HOMICIDE CHARGES FOR THE TWO PEOPLE THAT THEY KILLED WHILE THEY WERE ON THE LOOSE. >> ABSOLUTELY. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY COULD BE CHARGED HERE IN. SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF IDAHO AS WELL. IT’S OUR UNDERSTANDING, VICTOR, THAT THEY SAID THESE

TWO PEOPLE, THESE TWO HOMICIDES THAT AUTHORITIES ARE NOW INVESTIGATING, THAT THESE HAPPENED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, AND THEY DESCRIBED THEM BOTH AS ADULT. >> DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER DETAILS ON THESE HOMICIDES? >> IT’S STILL TOO EARLY. THIS HAPPENED SO RECENTLY CANADA POLICE COULDN’T REALLY GIVE US MUCH MORE INFORMATION

THERE. I CAN TELL YOU, THOUGH, IN TERMS OF THE ACTUAL CAPTURE, THERE WAS A VEHICLE PURSUIT. POLICE TELL US THAT NO SHOTS WERE FIRED AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY CAUGHT SEPARATELY. SO IT DOES SEEM LIKE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW, THEY TOOK OFF RUNNING FOR A LITTLE BIT. BOTH WERE APPREHENDED.

THE DIRECTOR, THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, DID SHARE THAT. HE WAS ABLE TO SHARE THAT NEWS WITH HIS TWO CORRECTIONS OFFICERS WHO ARE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL. THEY’RE IN STABLE CONDITION. HE SAID THAT DID LIFT THEIR SPIRITS. REMEMBER, THERE WAS A THIRD OFFICER WHO WAS SHOT IN ALL CONFUSION. THAT OFFICER HAS BEEN

DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL. I DID ALSO PRESS THE DIRECTOR HOW THIS COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED, HOW AN INMATE IN A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON, THE MOST RESTRICTIVE PART OF THAT PRISON. REMEMBER, THIS WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS CONSIDERED A DANGER TO OTHERS AND A DANGER TO THEMSELVES HOW THIS PERSON COULD HAVE POSSIBLY COORDINATED

ATTACK. HE SAID THAT IS OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST THING THAT THEY’RE LOOKING INTO. THAT’S WHAT THEY NEED TO NAIL DOWN. HE SAID THAT SOMETIMES IT’S SOMETHING THAT THEY JUST CAN’T CONTROL. BUT THESE INMATES DO HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN CELL PHONES THAT THEY’RE ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF. THEY DO BELIEVE THAT’S PROBABLY

HAPPENED IN THIS CASE KYRA. >> RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY ESSENTIALLY HAD SOME KIND OF AUGMENTED SECURITY SYSTEM RIGHT AROUND HIS VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL AND HIS CLAIMS THAT HE WAS SO INJURED THAT HE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY CERTAINLY

ARE INVESTIGATING ALL OF THAT, VICTOR, AS THEY DIVE IN TO WHO THESE GUYS ARE. IT SOUNDS THEY’RE LEARNING A LOT ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME SKYLER MEADE AND NICHOLAS EISENHOWER ACTUALLY SPENT TOGETHER, HOW FAR THEIR HISTORIES GO, AND ESPECIALLY LOOKING INTO THE FACT THAT THEY BOTH ALLEGEDLY ARE PARTS OF THIS

WHITE SUPREMACIST GANG, THIS KNIGHTS. >> WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT? CORRECT. KYRA, KNIGHTS. >> AND IT DOES APPEAR THAT THEY SHARED THIS IS THE WORDING, THE DIRECTOR, THAT THEY SHARED ACQUAINTANCES OVER THE YEARS, THAT THEY’RE HOUSING DID OVERLAP WHILE THEY WERE INSIDE OF THIS MAXIMUM PRISON.

I THINK HE SAID FROM EITHER 2019 OR 2020 UP UNTIL AN HOUR WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON. SO THESE ARE TWO GUYS WHO CLEARLY KNEW EACH OTHER WELL, BUT THEY SHARED ACQUAINTANCES AND THEY WERE IN THE SAME HOUSING UNIT SO THAT SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE LEARNED TODAY, THAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE

TWO MEN. KAYLA. >> ALL RIGHT. EXCELLENT REPORTING, VICTOR OQUENDO. AND I THANK YOU TO, OUR ENTIRE PANEL AS WELL FOR BREAKING THIS DOWN WITH US. AND STILL, THERE IS A LOT MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS CASE THERE IN IDAHO. BUT AGAIN, SKYLER MEETING NICHOLAS EISENHAUER HAVE NOW BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WITHOUT

A SHOT FIRED. AND IT WAS ENTIRE COLLABORATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THE STATE OF IDAHO IN WHAT THEY DEEMED THE IDAHO WAY TODAY. ALL RIGHT COMING UP NEXT HERE, THE STUDENT LOAN DEBT CRISIS.

PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES ASKED ME TO FIX A BROKEN SYSTEM. AND PART OF THAT IS DEFINITELY ANOTHER PART OF THAT IS IN MAKING SURE MORE STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION, HOLDING COLLEGES ACCOUNTABLE FOR A GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT. >> BUT YES, WE DO PLAN TO ENSURE THAT THERE’S MORE OF

A DEBT RELIEF PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO HAVE EARNED IT. AND WHEN I SAY EARNED IT, I MEAN THESE ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS. >> DID WHAT THEY WERE ASKED TO DO WHEN THE LAW WAS PASSED IN 2007. THEY WORKED FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS IN PUBLIC SERVICE. THEY PAID THEIR LOANS FOR

AT LEAST TEN YEARS, AND THEY’RE SERVING THEIR COMMUNITY. THESE ARE TEACHERS, NURSES, DOCTORS, FIREFIGHTERS, VETERANS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE TAKING CARE OF THOSE WHO ARE SERVING THEIR. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND THERE’S NO QUESTION THE GRATITUDE THAT GOES OUT TO OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS IN THIS COUNTRY.

>> BUT THERE IS, OF COURSE, ALSO THE QUESTION OF PAYMENT FOR THIS. RIGHT. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT LISTS THE NATIONAL DEBT AT OVER $34 TRILLION. SO HOW CAN THE ADMINISTRATION PAY FOR THIS OR WILL THIS COME DOWN TO TAXPAYERS AND TAXPAYERS TO FOOT THE BILL? >> YOU KNOW, I THINK WE REALLY

NEED TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAD AND HOW MUCH THAT WAS COSTING OUR COUNTRY. FIRST OF ALL, WE WERE GETTING MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE GOING INTO DEFAULT EVERY YEAR. THAT’S BAD FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY. AND THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGE,

PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST STRUGGLING. SO WE’VE PUT IN NEW PLANS TO MAKE A LOAN REPAYMENT EASIER AND MORE AFFORDABLE. BUT ALSO THINK THINK ABOUT WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOING TO TO CONTINUE GROW. >> THEY’RE INVESTING IN EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE A LIFE SENTENCE OF DEBT.

>> WE TO DO BETTER. AND THE PRESIDENT IS TAKING THAT BOLD MOVE TO MAKE SURE PROVIDE DEBT RELIEF AND AFFORDABILITY TO HIGHER EDUCATION. IT COSTS US MORE AS A COUNTRY NOT TO DO THAT. WE NEED TO LEAD THE WORLD. AND I’M IMPRESSED NOT ONLY WITH WHAT WE’RE DOING AROUND

EDUCATION, THE OPPORTUNITIES WE’RE GOING TO HAVE FOR HIGH SKILL, HIGH PAYING JOBS AS PRESIDENT HAS PUSHED AND INVEST IN AMERICA. >> AGENDA. >> I MEAN, THERE’S NO QUESTION THAT EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT AND INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION IS TOP OF MIND. BUT RESPECTFULLY, HOW DOES THE ADMINISTRATION PLAN TO PAY

FOR THIS. >> AS I SAID EARLIER, WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH DEFAULTS, COST MONEY, COST, LOCAL ECONOMY, SOMEONE THAT HAS A COLLEGE DEGREE EARNS, ON AVERAGE $1,000,000 MORE THAN PEOPLE THAT GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL ALONE. THOSE DOLLARS GO BACK INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND HELP SPUR BUSINESS AND SUPPORT THE GROWTH

LOCAL ECONOMY. SO I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING IS THINKING LONG TERM, SAYING IT COSTS MORE FOR OUR COUNTRY TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION. AND WE’RE MAKING THINGS HERE IN AMERICA. WE WANT STUDENTS IN AMERICA TO HAVE ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION AND FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS.

>> THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE A CAREER WHERE THEY’RE MAKING LESS THAN IF THEY GO INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR. WE’RE RUNNING SHORT ON TEACHERS IN THIS COUNTRY. >> THINK ABOUT THE COST IT’S GOING TO BE IF. WE DON’T START MAKING SURE PUBLIC SERVICE IS SOMETHING PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DO, YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE HAVE SCHOOLS CLOSING BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS OR WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH NURSES, THAT’S A BIGGER PROBLEM. THAT’S GOING TO COST AMERICA MORE. >> THIS IS AN INVESTMENT. EDUCATION IS AN INVESTMENT. AND I’M PROBABLY HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT STANDS UP FOR EDUCATION BEING A PRIORITIZE. ALL RIGHT.

SECRETARY CARDONA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPENDING THAT TIME US TODAY. >> AND COMING UP NEXT HERE, THE BIG QUESTION, DID INFLATABLE TANKS AND FAKE JEEPS HELP THE UNITED STATES AND ITS ALLIES WIN WORLD WAR II? WELL, WE INTRODUCE YOU TO ONE OF THE SOLDIERS WHO WAS PART OF THIS SECRET

SIGNS OF PROGRESS IN THE TALKS . A NEW CEASEFIRE IN GAZA AS CONCERNS GROW FOR PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS THAT ARE CAUGHT IN THE FIGHTING. I’M KAYNA WHITWORTH HERE IN LOS ANGELES AND THAT IS OUR BIG STORY TODAY. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN OVERSEAS AGAIN PUSHING FOR ANOTHER DEAL BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS.

I’LL SPEAK ABOUT THE TALKS, A FORMER ISRAELI NEGOTIATOR. ALSO IN, OUR SPOTLIGHT, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FILING A MASSIVE ANTITRUST AGAINST APPLE. OUR PANEL WEIGHS IN ON THE ACCUSATIONS THAT. >> THE TECH GIANT IS RUNNING AN ILLEGAL MONOPOLY. WE COURSE ARE BEGINNING WITH OUR BIG STORY HERE. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY

BLINKEN MEETING WITH EGYPT’S PRESIDENT IN CAIRO TODAY, MARKING HIS SIXTH TRIP TO THE REGION SINCE, THE START OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. BLINKEN DISCUSSING THE CURRENT STATE OF THE CONFLICT, INCLUDING SECURITY ASSURANCES FORSRAEL AND REBUILDING A POSTWAR GAZA. THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS SET TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL TOMORROW FOR TALKS FOCUSED ON EFFORTS

TO BROKER A CEASE FIRE DEAL IN THE TERRITORY AND SECURE THE RELEASE OF THE REMAINING ISRAELI HOSTAGES THAT ARE HELD BY HAMAS. >> HE IS ALSO EXPECTED TO ADDRESS THE U.S. CONCERNS OVER THE IDF’S EXPECTED OFFENSIVE IN RAFAH. A PLAN THE WHITE HOUSE HAS PUBLICLY PLEADED WITH ISRAEL TO ABANDON AND CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES.

BLINKEN IS EXPRESSING CONCERN. >> EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. THERE ARE MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE IN RAFAH, MANY OF WHOM WERE DISPLACED FROM OTHER PARTS OF GAZA. A MAJOR GROUND OPERATION THERE WOULD MEAN MORE CIVILIAN DEATHS. >> IT WOULD WORSEN THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. >> ALSO TODAY, THE U.S.

SUBMITTING A DRAFT RESOLUTION. THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL CALLING FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE IN THE GAZA STRIP TO THE RELEASE OF THOSE HOSTAGES. BLINKEN SAYING THAT HE THINKS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE WARRING SIDES IS POSSIBLE AS THE GAPS, QUOTE, NARROWING. ABC NEWS OBTAINING A COPY OF THE DRAFT RELEASED TO THE

COUNCIL AND A SOURCE FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER SAYS THAT U.S. INTENDS TO BRING IT TO A VOTE SOON AND THAT IT’S IF IT HAS ENOUGH SUPPORT TO PASS. JOINING US IS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. MIDDLE EAST PROJECT. DANIEL LEVY IS ALSO A FORMER ISRAELI NEGOTIATOR. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE WITH US. AND WE’RE REALLY HOPING YOU CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS. I’M CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOU VIEW AS POTENTIALLY THESE GAPS NARROWING IN TERMS OF THE REAL STICKING POINTS, BOTH SIDES WHEN IT COMES TO A CEASE FIRE DEAL? WELL, INDEED, I THINK THERE

IS HERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET ACROSS THE FINISHING LINE ON A NEGOTIATED ACTION THAT WOULD SEE INITIALLY ABOUT OF THE ISRAELI HOSTAGES BEING RELEASED. PALESTINIANS HELD, ISRAELI PRISONS BEING RELEASED, SOME REAL RAMPING SCALING UP OF THE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE THAT SO DESPERATELY AND BEING PREVENTED BY ISRAEL REACHING THE PALESTINIANS POPULATION

AND SOME OTHER MEASURES. IT HAS TO BE AN ON RAMP TO A PERMANENT, SUSTAINABLE CEASE FIRE. >> AND THAT’S OF THE GAPS IN THE POSITIONS, BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOW, I THINK, IS THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, AND SAY THIS IN SORROW, DOES NOT WANT THIS DEAL TO BE DONE

BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE WAR TO CONTINUE FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL POLITICAL CLAIM, THEIR SECURITY REASONS AS WELL. BUT THERE IS A DYNAMIC ISRAEL WHERE AN INCREASING COHORT OF THE POLITICAL AND MILITARY LEADERSHIP AND THE PUBLIC WANT TO GET THIS DEAL DONE BECAUSE TIME IS RUNNING OUT. THE HOSTAGES WHERE HAMAS HAS

SHOWN A DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY AND WHAT IS NEEDED NOW TO GET THIS ACROSS THE FINISHING LINE IS THAT THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO PRESENT THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER WITH A HARD CHOICE, MAKE THE PARAMETERS OF THE DEAL PUBLIC AND WITH CONSEQUENCES IF HE SAYS NO, BECAUSE HERE IT’S NOT ENOUGH

JUST ABOUT SECRETARY BLINKEN. IT’S NOT ENOUGH FOR HIM TO PLEA OR BEMOAN OR EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN RAFAH, WHERE THERE ARE A MILLION PLUS PALESTINIANS KETTLED INTO AN AREA THAT ISRAEL IS FORCED INTO. THE U.S. HAS THE LEVERAGE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. ISRAEL CANNOT CONTINUE TO PROSECUTE THIS WAR WITHOUT

AMERICAN WEAPONRY. >> AND THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO ENTER THE EQUATION IF WE WANT TO GET THIS ACROSS THE. WELL, WHILE ALL THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT THERE HAPPENING WITH QATAR AND EGYPT AND NOW A DELEGATION IS HEADED TO THE UNITED STATES, BUT DAY BY DAY, THE HUMANITARIAN IS GROWING IN GAZA.

SO WHAT IS THE SENSE OF URGENCY ? IT’S HARD TO PUT IN WORDS. I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR VIEWERS ARE EXPOSED TO THE PICTURES OF WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. IT’S HARD TO PUT IN WORDS JUST HOW HORRENDOUS, JUST HOW INHUMANE, DEPLORABLE AND POSSIBLE CONDITIONS ARE. HUMANITARIAN SITUATION FOR

CIVILIANS IN GAZA SEEING IMAGES NOW. THIS IS THE GREATEST FAMINE ACCORDING TO THE UN INDICES. MANMADE, NOT A NATURAL CATASTROPHE CAUSED BY ISRAEL’S DEVASTATING BOMBING AND PREVENTION OF THE KIND OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE NEEDED THAT THE U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL HAS SAID HAS OCCURRED SINCE THEY SET UP, SINCE THE OF

DESTRUCTION, THE LEVEL OF DEATH, THE LEVEL OF INJURY. HOSPITALS AREN’T FUNCTIONING. BASIC INFRASTRUCTURES, CLEAN WATER. IT’S NOT GOOD IN THESE EFFORTS OF AIRDROPS INTO THE SEAPORT BECAUSE THAT’S NOT THE MAIN WAY TO GET ASSISTANCE. THERE ARE LAND CROSSINGS. TRUCKS CAN GO THROUGH, BUT ISRAEL IS PREVENTING THAT.

AND THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND IS PREVENTING IT, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS SUCH A CLOSE SYMBIOTIC ,NECESSARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CEASE FIRE AND DEALING WITH THIS ABSOLUTE HORROR AND DEVASTATION. >> AND THIS WILL NOT BRING ISRAEL SECURITY. >> THIS IS THE ONLY GENERATION NOW THAT HAVE SEEN ISRAEL HAS

ACTED AND IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE HOSTAGES OUT. SEEMS THAT THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BEGIN TO TURN CORNER ON THIS SITUATION AND THAT MEANS THE CEASE HAS TO BE PERMANENT. CAN’T JUST BE WEEKS. AND I REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN SEE A CONCERTED EFFORT BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO BRING AN

IN TO SOMETHING WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE ON THIS LONG. WHAT MUST IT ON OCTOBER SEVEN VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW CANNOT JUSTIFY WHAT ISRAEL HAS DONE SINCE THEN, WHICH IS ALSO VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW, SOME JUSTIFYING AND IT HAS TO END. AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE CAN DEAL WITH THE ROOT CAUSES

OF THE FACT THE PALESTINIANS NEVER HAD THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE. >> BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT’S NEEDED FROM BOTH SIDES ULTIMATELY TO TURN THE PAGE. >> ALL RIGHT. DANIEL LEVY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INSIGHT INTO THIS CRISIS THAT WE ARE WITNESSING. WE SO APPRECIATE IT.

I WANT TO BRING OUR BIG STORY NOW TO OUR PANEL HERE. JOINING US TODAY IS OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SIRIUS XM RADIO HOST MIKE MYERS, ALONG WITH OUR FORMER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN BARBARA COMSTOCK, OUR DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST AND PRESIDENT OF NEXTGEN AMERICA, CHRISTINA SIMPSON RAMIREZ AND ABC NEWS AND OP ED

COLUMNIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, L.Z. GRANDERSON, SO THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. LOOK, BARBARA, SECRETARY BLINKEN, HE IS MAKING IT VERY CLEAR HERE THAT ISRAEL NEEDS TO LET MORE AID IN, BUT HE ALSO, BARBARA SAID, QUOTING HIM HERE, THAT IF HAMAS CARES AT ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE IT

PURPORTS TO REPRESENT, THEN IT WOULD REACH AN AGREEMENT BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF A CEASE FIRE ALLEVIATING THE TREMENDOUS SUFFERING OF THEIR PEOPLE. BARBARA, WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO THAT? >> WELL, I THINK HE’S RIGHT AND I THINK HE HAS BEEN WORKING SO HARD ON THIS.

I MEAN, HE REALLY I MEAN, HE HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH, BEEN THERE. AND I REALLY DO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO BLINKEN AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND. I CERTAINLY I HOPE THAT THERE WON’T BE A LOT OF POLITICS INVOLVED IN THIS. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE’S TALK

OF, YOU KNOW, BRINGING, YOU KNOW, NETANYAHU OVER HERE TO ADDRESS CONGRESS. I DON’T THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO KIND OF GET THIS YOU KNOW, GET THIS DONE AND HOPEFULLY WILL DO, YOU KNOW, BEING MORE HELPFUL HERE. >> AND, CHRISTINE, AS YOU LOOK

IN TERMS OF THIS U.N., YOU KNOW, THE U.S. HAS VETOED MULTIPLE U.N. RESOLUTIONS CALLING FOR A CEASE FIRE IN THE PAST. BUT, CHRISTINE, IT DOES APPEAR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION REALLY THINKS THIS NEW RESOLUTION THEY’VE PUT FORWARD COULD ACTUALLY GO THROUGH. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I MEAN, I THINK THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION IS REALLY TRYING TO MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND CATCH UP WITH A LOT OF THE DEMOCRATIC BASE. AND THIS IS ALSO A POLITICAL QUESTION. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON NETANYAHU CLOSED DOORS, AND THEY SEEM THAT THEY HAVEN’T MADE THE PROGRESS. THEY’VE TO.

SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT PUBLIC PRESSURE ON NETANYAHU TO MAKE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU READ THE LANGUAGE OF THE RESOLUTION, REALLY TALKING ISRAEL BLOCKING AID COMING IN. PEOPLE KEEP TALKING ABOUT, WELL ,ARE, YOU KNOW, SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE BRINK OF STARVATION, DEATH. THIS IS A MAN, YOU KNOW,

AS YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERT SAID, AND IS CREATED BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AT THIS POINT. AND MIKE, TO I’M CURIOUS AS TO YOUR REACTION HERE ON SOMETHING THAT DANIELLE SAID. HE REALLY SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THAT BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAS SOMEWHAT OF HIS OWN PERSONAL GOALS HERE IN PRESSING FORWARD

WITH THIS, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS GOING FORWARD AND TO RAFAH AND NOT AGREEING TO A CEASE FIRE. >> WHAT’S YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT? YEAH. BENJAMIN YEAH. AND WHO WAS ALREADY IN POLITICAL TURMOIL PRIOR TO OCTOBER THE SEVENTH. AND SO HE IS POSSIBLY USING HIS POSITION A SHOW OF STRENGTH FROM ISRAEL’S PERSPECTIVE

IN ORDER REWRITE THE NARRATIVE ON HIS BRAND OF LEADERSHIP AND WHAT HE DONE IN ISRAEL TO POSSIBLY PREVENT AND TO DELAY ANY FURTHER PROSECUTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE COMING HIS WAY AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS CONFLICT. BUT AND THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, WHAT SECRETARY MCCAIN HAS DONE WITH ACTUALLY

PROPOSING THIS DRAFT OF ZIONISM RESOLUTION AND PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS THAT THEY HAD VETOED THE PREVIOUS VERSION THAT THAT THEY WANT AN IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE AND DEPENDENT ON IF HOSTAGES WERE RELEASED OR NOT. >> SO THIS CLAUSE, WE WHERE THE UNITED STATES IS PUTTING IN THE CONDITION OF HOSTAGES. THIS SHOWS CAME TO THAT

THE UNITED STATES IS LOOKING TO TAKE A DIFFERENT TACT. ENTER THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO ISOLATE THE ISLAND AS YOU START GETTING THE NUMBERS OF INCREASE OF FAMINE, HUNGER, INFRASTRUCTURE, AID, NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IN OR OUT, SIMPLY DUE TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO, AS CHRISTINA WAS

MENTIONING, I THINK THIS IS ALSO TOO A POLITICAL PLAY FOR THEIR BASE IN TERMS OF HOW THEIR BACKS ARE IT. RIGHT. AND YOU’RE SO RIGHT. I’M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT UP, MIKE, THAT POINT ABOUT THE US PUTTING IN THESE HOSTAGES IN THAT RESOLUTION. AND TO THAT POINT, L.Z., I WAS

REALLY IT WAS INTERESTING TO ME TO HEAR DANIEL LEVY SAY THAT THE US HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT PRESSURE HERE IN TERMS OF GETTING A CEASE FIRE THROUGH AND HOW THESE NEGOTIATIONS GOING. AND ONE THING HE SAID IS THAT THE U.S. SHOULD MAKE THE PARAMETERS OF THIS DEAL VERY PUBLIC.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? I AGREE. I AGREE. YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS WAR. MY CONCERN WAS THAT ISRAEL IS GOING TO LOSE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND BECAUSE OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS CONFLICT.

AND SURE ENOUGH, HERE WE ARE, YOU KNOW, THIS WEEK AND CANADA WERE ANTI-SEMITIC CARTOONS THAT WERE DRAWN IN THERE IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU HAD CRITICIZED . AND HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, THE CRITICISM STARTED HERE IN THE STATES, IN ISRAEL, THAT NETANYAHU’S RATINGS LIKE 15%. SO, LIKE, SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT

NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE ISRAEL IS LOSING GROUND IN TERMS OF SEPARATE THE ACT OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ON OCTOBER SEVEN. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND WE KNOW AND I’LL SHARE AGAIN WITH ALL OF YOU THAT WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM OUR SECURITY ANALYST, MICK MULROY THAT HAMAS, THE HAMAS LEADERSHIP,

IS BARGAINING FOR THEIR LIVES AS OF THIS CEASE FIRE NEGOTIATION WHEN THEIR PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. I KNOW WE HAVE TO QUICKLY, BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, MIKE. >> YEAH. I WANT TO START IN RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT YOUR GUEST THOUGHT WAS REALLY FANTASTIC GOING TO BE

THAT YOU DID IT WITH DANIEL LEVY. HE MINCING ABOUT WHEN THE CONSEQUENCES THAT UNITED STATES HAS APPLIED TO ISRAEL THEY DON’T ABIDE BY THIS IS THAT THE HOLDING BACK OF WEAPONRY. I MEAN MY THOUGHT IS THIS A POLITICAL TACTIC ON BEHALF SECRETARY BLINKEN AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO SAY, LOOK, WE’VE ALL OPTIONS

TO BRING ISRAEL, HAMAS TO THE TABLE TO RESOLVE THIS CONFLICT ? THE LAST OPTION ON THE TABLE IS TO WITHHOLD THE WEAPONRY. SO I’M WONDERING IS THIS WHAT WE’RE SEEING, AN INCREMENTAL PHASES OF POLITICAL STRATEGY TO GET THEM TO COME TO THE DIPLOMATIC TABLE TO CREATE THIS IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE? >> RIGHT.

AND WE KNOW FROM OUR MATT GUTMAN ON THE GROUND THAT IT DOES APPEAR THE U.S. SLOW WALKING WEAPONRY. BUT I WILL ALSO SHARE SOME ANALYSTS SAY THAT IF HAMAS WERE TO LAY DOWN THEIR WEAPONS, THERE WOULD BE NO WAR. BUT IF ISRAEL WERE TO LAY DOWN THEIR WEAPONS, THERE WOULD

BE NO ISRAEL. SO I KNOW THIS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT ALL. THANK YOU VERY MIKE BARBER, CHRISTINE AND L.Z., AS ALWAYS. COMING UP NEXT HERE IN, OUR SPOTLIGHT. IT’S THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE VERSUS APPLE. WE’LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE MASSIVE ANTITRUST LAWSUIT ANNOUNCED TODAY.

GET INTO IT LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY NEWS PODCAST HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD ARE MURROW AND SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH TO YOU START HERE ABC NEWS WE GET YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN NOW THAT’S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN’T SEE COMING

WHEREVER GET YOUR PODCAST START HERE. WE ALLEGE THAT APPLE HAS EMPLOYED A STRATEGY THAT RELIES ON EXCLUSIONARY ANTICOMPETITIVE CONDUCT THAT HURTS BOTH CONSUMERS AND DEVELOPERS. FOR CONSUMERS, THAT HAS MEANT FEWER CHOICES, HIGHER PRICES, FEES, LOWER QUALITY, SMART PHONES, APPS AND ACCESSORIES AND LESS INNOVATION FROM APPLE AND ITS COMPETITORS.

>> IT WAS, OF COURSE, ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND ANNOUNCING A MASSIVE NEW ANTITRUST LAWSUIT AGAINST APPLE TODAY. IN TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT, THE DOJ, AMONG OTHER CLAIMS, ACCUSING THE TECH GIANT OF MAINTAINING AN ILLEGAL MONOPOLY, BLOCKING ITS RIVALS FROM ACCESSING BOTH HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FEATURES ON ITS IPHONE DEVICES. AND APPLE SAYS.

IF SUCCESSFUL, THE LAWSUIT WOULD HINDER ITS ABILITY TO CREATE THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY THAT PEOPLE EXPECT FROM IT AND SET A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. SO I WANT TO BRING BACK MY PANEL HERE, MIKE, BARBARA, CHRISTINA AND L.Z.. SO LET’S START WITH OUR ONE AND ONLY, I THINK ANDROID USER MIKE, THIS LAWSUIT, I MEAN,

DOES IT ACTUALLY FORCE APPLE TO MAKE CHANGES HERE? I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU SEE AS POSSIBLY IT COULD FORCE APPLE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES DOWN THE ROAD TO AVOID A LENGTHY LAWSUIT WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS CASE, THOUGH, ARE YOU AND I, WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT FROM THE GEOPOLITICAL PERSPECTIVE JUST HOW FAR BEHIND

AMERICA USUALLY IS WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY AND DATA PRIVACY AND AI AND LAWS THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME THAT AMERICA IS ACTUALLY MOVING BEYOND OTHER EUROPEAN OTHER COUNTRIES, IN A SENSE OF OTHER COUNTRIES, HAVE PROBED APPLE AND BUILT POSSIBLE LAWSUITS AGAINST MORE THE APP AND THE DEVELOPER WHERE IN THIS

CASE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY GOING OVER THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM OF APPLE. I THINK THIS IS COMING TO A QUESTION OF IS IS MONOPOLY OR IS THIS CAPITALISM. >> OH, THAT’S INTERESTING. ACTUALLY, BARBARA, I’D LOVE TO HEAR A DIRECT FROM YOU ON THAT. >> LIKE CAPITALISM LOVES OUR APPLE PRODUCTS.

THESE ARE APPENDAGES WE USE IN YOUR PHONES OR VIDEOS ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW YOU GUYS. THERE ARE FLASHLIGHTS AND THERE’S ALL KINDS OF INNOVATION AND IT’S VERY COMPETITIVE. YOU HAVE ANDROID. IT IS COMPETITIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD. THESE ARE THE COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, APPLE, AMAZON,

GOOGLE, THE COMPANIES THAT THEY ARE THAT SUING THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS SUING. >> THEY ARE LEADING THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, LEADING THE MARKET THAT’S DRIVING THE WORLD. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE. CHINA, THEY SHOULD NOT BE SUING THEM. WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING. >> OH, INTERESTING. AND SO, CHRISTINA, THEN,

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE HERE? I MEAN, POLITICALLY, IF THE DOJ WINS THIS LAWSUIT, IS THAT BEEN A WIN FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? >> I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU CAN CALL COMPETITION OR CAPITALISM WHEN THEY CONTROL 70% OF THE MARKET. >> APPLE DOES. AND IF YOU EVER TRIED TO SWITCH

YOUR PHONE WHICH I TRIED TO DO IN ANDROID IT’S REALLY HARD BECAUSE THEY LOCK YOU OUT OF BECAUSE THEIR APPS THENTIRE APPLE SYSTEM IN THE ECOSYSTEM MEANT TO TRAP YOU WITHIN APPLE AND THAT’S HOW THEY BECAME THE FIRST TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY IT’S NOT THROUGH COMPETITION IT’S LOCKING OUT COMPETITION

AND SO YES IT’S A MONOPOLY BRAVO BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR TAKING ON BIG TECH. IT’S LONG OVERDUE. >> I MEAN, OUR ENTIRE LIVES ARE INTERTWINED INTO OUR PHONES . WE’LL SEE THE WILL THIS MOVE BY THE DOJ, DO YOU THINK, HELP ELIMINATE, AT THE VERY LEAST PRICE GOUGING, MAYBE JUNK FEES?

>> YOU KNOW IT’S ALL PART OF THAT WHOLE PLAN THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN DOING TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THESE AND GOUGING THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER DATA ON CONSUMERS. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT A WIN FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. FORGET HOW THIS ADMINISTRATION ISN’T ABOUT US.

>> THIS IS ABOUT US CONSTANTLY BEING ASKED TO SPEND MONEY BECAUSE THE COURT SHAKE IS DIFFERENT, ASKING IT TO SPEND MONEY BECAUSE WANTED TO BUY AN IPAD AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WE CAN USE OTHER OUR USE OUR E-BOOKS TO READ OTHER TABLETS. AND SO THIS IS ABOUT

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO HOLD ON TO OUR WELL, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE. WELL, WE HAVE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE JUNK THESE THE GOVERNMENTS THEY HAVE BEEN TARGETING. WE THINK ABOUT ALL OF THESE THAT ARE THAT ARE HITTING OUR CONSUMER.

AND YOU LOOK AT THEIR BUILDING THIS INVOICE FOR THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A VERY LONG TIME, FAR BEYOND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. SO IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT IS JUST GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL. JUST BE REALLY FOCUSED IN ON MAKING SURE THAT WE STOP THESE COMPANIES FROM GOUGING AND REALLY KIND OF STEALING

OUR MONEY UNDER THE GUISE OF, YOU KNOW, THIS IS CAPITALISM. >> NOW, YOU STRUCK A NERVE THERE. YOU SAW THE COURT CHANGING YOUR TIME. >> BUT GENERAL, ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND GAVE GREAT PROMISE TODAY DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE TO WHICH HE SAID, YOU KNOW, LOOK AROUND YOU, YOU KNOW,

AMERICAN INNOVATION LEADS THE WORLD AND WE LEAD THE MARKET BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS. I DO WORK IN THIS AREA. FULL DISCLOSURE. BUT THAT’S AMERICAN INNOVATION. WE’VE GOT TO OUR EVIL TIME. >> OKAY, MIKE, I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD AND THEN HAVE TO TOSS TO BREAK

BECAUSE WE’RE SHORT ON TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC GARLAND AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESS. THESE ISSUES, WHAT HE SAID THAT IS THAT AT WHAT COST, DO APPLE MAINTAIN THE RIGHT TO KEEP IN THAT ECOSYSTEM AT THE DEGRADATION OF OTHER PRODUCTS? SO THEREFORE, BASED UPON WHAT HE WAS SAYING THAT IT’S

OFFICIALS HOLDING WE’RE HOLDING A NEWS CONFERENCE JUST A SHORT TIME AGO DETAILING THE THE MEN WERE CAUGHT THIS AFTERNOON FOLLOWING A LENGTHY INVESTIGATION. THE TWO SUSPECTS WHO WE HAVE BEEN SEEKING WERE LOCATED IN FALLS IN THE TWIN FALLS AREA. >> THERE WAS A SHORT VEHICLE AND BOTH SUSPECTS WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY SEPARATELY.

THERE WERE NO SHOTS FIRED OR EXTENSIVE OF FORCE IN THIS OPERATION. >> WELL, POLICE SAY THE TWO MEN TOOK OFF IN A HONDA CIVIC AFTER THE ACCOMPLICE SHOT CORRECTIONS OFFICERS WHILE HELPING THE PRISONER BREAK OUT OF A HOSPITAL THE INMATE, SKYLER MEADE, IS AN ALLEGED WHITE SUPREMACIST AND GANG MEMBER. AUTHORITIES ALSO NOW

INVESTIGATING TWO HOMICIDES THAT THEY MIGHT BE CONNECTED WITH AS WELL. ABC NEWS VICTOR OQUENDO IN BOISE, IDAHO WITH MORE. >> VICTOR, THE HEADLINE AFTER 36 HOURS. SKYLER MEAD AND NICHOLAS JUMPING HOUR ARE IN CUSTODY. IT WAS AN URGENT MANHUNT THAT SPANNED ACROSS MUCH OF IDAHO. TRAGICALLY, TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED.

POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THE CONNECTION, THE MANHUNT, AND COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY MORE DETAILS THERE. BUT BOTH WERE ARRESTED IN THE TWIN FALLS AREA AFTER A VEHICLE PURSUIT. NO SHOTS WERE FIRED HERE. WE ALSO LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY BETWEEN HOUR AND NEED. THEY BOTH SPENT TIME IN THE SAME MAXIMUM SECURITY IN IDAHO,

IN THE SAME HOUSING UNIT. AND SO NOW IT WAS THEY BOTH HAVE KNOWN TIES TO THE KNIGHTS. IT’S A WHITE SUPREMACIST PRISON GANG. THIS WAS CLEARLY A COORDINATED EFFORT. AUTHORITIES SAY SKYLER MEADE INJURED HIMSELF PURPOSEFULLY TO THE POINT WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL.

IT WAS AT AS HE WAS LEAVING THAT ACCOMPLICE, SOMETHING OUR OPEN FIRE, AMBUSHING THOSE OFFICERS. THIS WAS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING, 36 HOURS LATER, BOTH ARE NOW BACK IN CUSTODY. AS FOR THE THREE OFFICERS WHO WERE SHOT, ONE HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED. THE OTHER TWO ARE IN STABLE CONDITION.

AND THE DIRECTOR SAYS THEY ARE IMPROVING DANA. >> ALL RIGHT, VICTOR OQUENDO, THANKS TO YOU. >> AND FOR MORE ON THIS. I WANT TO BRING IN OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND SAN BERNADINO POLICE CHIEF JARROD BURGUAN AND OUR ABC NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER NYPD CHIEF OF DETECTIVES ROBERT BOYCE.

SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR US TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS. JARED HERE, STARTING WITH YOU AS AUTHORITIES STARTING TO LOOK INTO THE HISTORY THAT THESE TWO MEN SHARE, AS YOU HEARD, VICTOR, JUST MENTIONED, THEY WERE IN A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON TOGETHER. THEY’RE GOING THEIR HISTORY AND THEIR POTENTIAL GANG AFFILIATION.

HOW WILL AUTHORITIES DECIPHER THAT AND HOW DOES THAT CHANGE THE INVESTIGATION MOVING FORWARD? >> I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A CASE WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS WORKING TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, DEPARTMENT OF HAS A TREMENDOUS INTELLIGENCE NETWORK ON THE PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE IN CUSTODY, INDIVIDUAL POLICE

DEPARTMENTS AND GENUINE INVESTIGATORS THAT AS WELL THAT ARE PUT ALL THOSE RESOURCES TOGETHER TOGETHER TO TRY TO CONNECT THE DOTS, SO TO SPEAK, ON THE ISSUE AND THAT SORT OF THING. I KNOW THAT WE’VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT OTHER COMMUNITIES OF COLOR COORDINATED. THIS COULD VERY WELL HAVE TO A CELL PHONE BOXES.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN DECIDED EVEN WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING TOGETHER THIS. LET’S NOT FORGET, THE ACCOMPLICE IN THIS CASE WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. >> SO VERY RECENTLY. ABSOLUTELY AND ROBERT, TO YOU, AS YOU POINTED OUT, THEY’VE SORT OF MADE THEIR WAY BACK TO THE PLACE THAT THEY

KNOW THEY WERE ARRESTED IN TWIN FALLS, IDAHO, ABOUT 2 HOURS NORTH OF BOISE THERE, BUT ALSO POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING TWO HOMICIDES. THEY SAY THESE MEN COULD BE CONNECTED TO THESE HOMICIDES. THEY HAPPENED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. THEY WERE MEN. THEY WERE FOUND IN RURAL AREAS. AND THEY SAY THAT THEY FOUND

SHACKLES AT THE SCENE. AND SO THAT’S HOW KNOW AND AGAIN, THAT INVESTIGATION HAS JUST STARTED. BUT HOW DO THEY WORK THAT CASE AND HOW DO THEY TIE IT TO THESE TWO. >> SO AND RIGHT NOW WE’RE TRACKING THE ROUTE THAT THE PERPETRATORS TOOK ONCE. THEY LEFT THIS HOSPITAL, IT

SEEMS A LITTLE NORTH AND NOW THESE THESE HOMICIDES ARE CURRENTLY NORTH OF THE NORTHERN IDAHO. AND THEN THEY DRIVE BACK DOWN SOUTH OF TWIN FALLS. SO IT’S UNUSUAL THAT TRACKING. WELL, THEY’LL HAVE TO SEE IF THEY CAN TRACK EACH CAR AS AND WHEN THAT CAR WAS STOLEN, THIS SECONDARY CAR.

AND WE’LL FINGERPRINTS, DNA, WHATEVER THEY CAN FIND IN THAT CAR AND TITLE. SO IT WILL BE A COUPLE OF DAYS IN MAKING THIS WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO DO? THEY’VE ALREADY THEY’VE ALREADY SAW THE SHACKLES. SO NOW PUTTING THOSE PIECES TOGETHER IN THE INVESTIGATION. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHEDDING SOME LIGHT

ON THAT, BOTH OF YOU. >> JARED AND ROBERT, OUR THANKS TO YOU AS ALWAYS. AND NOW TO THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL, LETITIA JAMES, TAKING AN INITIAL STEP FORWARD TO A POSSIBLE SEIZURE OF SOME DONALD TRUMP’S ASSETS. THIS IS TRUMP’S LAWYERS DOUBLED DOWN ON THEIR CLAIM THAT SECURING A BOND

HE’S TRIED 30 INSURANCE COMPANIES.

THEY’VE ALL TURNED HIM DOWN BECAUSE. >> TRUMP DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH CASH, AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT HIS REAL ESTATE AS COLLATERAL. >> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE HAS ESSENTIALLY SAID TRUMP NEEDS TO TRY HARDER, SUGGESTED HE COULD SELL OFF SOME ASSETS AND RAISE CASH. >> TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN’T WANT
