3:02 pm
situation room the skis, >> cnn breaking news. >> we begin with the breaking news. president biden and former president trump putting the immigration prices front and center during dueling stops in texas, right near the border with mexico. both of them seeing openings to use the politically charged issue against one another our correspondents are on the scene where the likely 2024 rivals just spoke kristen holmes is covering donald trump for us. priscilla alvarez is covering president biden. that's going to priscilla first. what was the president's message? priscilla just a short while ago after that he got operational wealth going into today, white house officials made clear that what they wanted to do was to hammer republicans over that failed senate >> border bill that included some of the toughest border security measures in recent memory. and that is something that president biden in his remarks alluded to repeatedly
3:03 pm
making the point that border patrol and other federal immigration officials officials need more resources and that there needs to be changed in the immigration system because what it is now is just not working and he repeatedly said that it was time to act. i'll also note that in multiple occasions he referenced republican talking points like fentanyl cartels, criminals in relation to the us mexico border make the point that resources are needed to stop all of that. and calling on congress to provide that. but of course it is former president donald trump and his encouragement of republicans to walk away from that failed senate border bill. that is the reason for its failure. and former president there, president biden, also mentioning the his predecessor in his remarks following second, i understand my predecessors in eagle pass today. so here's what i would say to mr. trump she had a plan policy issue, said of telling members of congress to block the southern station >> join me >> or i'll join, you been telling the congress to pass
3:04 pm
this bipartisan border security bill. >> we can do it together. >> you know, and i know it's the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill is country's ever seen so instead of playing politics with the issue, why don't we just get together and get it done >> that's remarks. any mention of slain universe? >> well, if that was just a really remarkable moment that goes to show how for this white house has come on this issue. it's one that they kept at a distance four years. it's one that sources told me whenever it came up within the white house is always tense. but here president biden, making clear that he can be tough on the us-mexico border to an inviting former president donald trump to join him on that front >> priscilla standby, i want to bring in kristin right now. kristen trump spent most of his remarks stoking fear about migrant crime. did he offer any solutions at all to the crisis along the border? >> well, if it's the was vote for me in 2024 and i will quote unquote, fix the border. they have continued to say that he could do what biden can, and we
3:05 pm
have to remember that he's really taking a page from a playbook that he's been using since 2015. this messaging, a fear stoking around immigration it's something that he has done since the day he launched his presidential bid in 2015, saying that mexico was sending over rapists and drug dealers. this is something that he plans on continuing to do. they believe that there is that because of the recent polling that shows that more and more voters are deeply concerned about immigration, that they can play up this angle, that there is so much crime and american it's being caused by undocumented migrants. on the other thing i want to point out here, wolf, is that there have been some recent high profile cases that have been committed by undocumented migrants. but overall statistically speaking, this is much lower than average crime rates altogether however, donald trump, he knows that he can use this isaac to his advantage, and that's what he did today. take a listen. >> now, the united states is being overrun by the biden
3:06 pm
migrant crime. it's a new form of vicious violation to our country migrant crime. we got biden migrant crime, but that's a little bit long >> so we'll just leave it. but every time you hear the term migrant crime, you know where that comes from, allowing thousands and thousands, actually millions and millions of people to come could be 15 million, could be 18 million by the time he gets out of office >> just to be clear, a gun linking immigrants and all immigrants who violent crime. first of all, it's just inaccurate. like i said, it's much smaller percentage that are putting violent crimes however, it also is the way that donald trump feels like he got elected in 2016. this the message that characterized him as the white house, and he believes it can take them into 2024. i just want to remind once again, this is exactly where he wants to be when it comes to immigration in a space where there are unprecedented number of people crossing the border in a space in which joe biden is on defense and in a
3:07 pm
space where he can really hammer home immigration kristen holmes. thank you very much. priscilla alvarez, i want you to stay with us. i also want to bring in cnn political commentator scott jennings and kate bedingfield into this conversation. kate, that we just heard from president biden as the white house has changed its strategy on immigration. now, taking this issue on directly, can this work for them politically? >> i think it can. i think this is very smart of them. donald trump and republicans have given them a huge opening to go on the offensive here. i mean, basically, what you see biden doing today is calling trump's bluff saying, you know, we worked through this package that included some of the most intense, strictest measures that had been considered in the last two decades to deal with this problem, we included funding for more agents and you directed the republicans to walk away from it. you said no, you'd rather have the political issue. and i think people will see through that. i mean, the other problem that donald trump has here is that people don't independence and more moderate republicans
3:08 pm
don't embrace the proposals that he's putting on table. i mean, he's talking about family separation. he's talking about mass deportations. those are not things that anybody except for the very hard-core maga base views as the solution here. so i think it's smart for joe biden to go on the offensive to be aggressive to not give donald trump his photo op today at the border alone, and to call his bluff and say, i'm the one on who's put solutions on the table. you're the one who's playing politics with this issue now that point, scott jennings, president biden is slamming republicans for killing that bipartisan deal that included money for border security. but if the border remains a problem, will voters actually remember this month's robb now, trump is betting they won't yeah, i think donald trump is, right. i mean, look what happened in the last week and the gallup poll, immigration became the number one issue in the country, and it didn't become the number one issue because of wrangling and congress, it became the number one issue because people are tired of what they're seeing at the border, they are tired of
3:09 pm
the crime. they are tired of the lack of attention by president biden. and then at the same time they tested issues on biden. the worst issue for his job approval was immigration negative 39 points underwater on the issue of immigration. he's only at the border today because he has nowhere to go. but up here i admire my democratic sparring partners pluck today and trying to put a good face on this this issue is killing joe biden right now. he has no choice but to go to the border and try to do something because right now it is literally the most important issue in the country and the worst issue that americans have for him on job approval in our priscilla, you've covered these issues rather extensively, trump and republicans say biden can act there's without additional legislation. but how critical is more funding to getting the situation over at the border with mexico under control >> well, it really can't be overstated. i regularly talk to homeland security officials who always come back to you. they need more money and it was the
3:10 pm
case also with the trump administration the obama administration, the department of homeland security is chronically underfunded. and so what they're facing here when they're also dealing with surges at the us-mexico border is immense strain on their resources. and so that was something that came up quite a bit today when president biden had his operational briefing with federal authorities in which he also talked about the fact that this border bill but also get them more personnel, more money and more technology but there are two things happening at once here. there's the senate border bill which was prove pivotal for this white house because it gave them an opportunity to go after republicans, after they tanked it despite the tough measures in it. but the border crossings are also lower than where they have been in december. we were talking okay. about record levels of migrants at the us-mexico border. they have dropped by 50% in january following talks with mexico. and so it gives the president runway to really seize on this issue. what happens when border crossings go up again as they are expected to, it's unclear, but for the moment, they can
3:11 pm
make the point in the argument that they need the money because otherwise the system simply cannot handle what the situation is today. >> your point there, kate, what did you make of the direct appeal? president biden may to trump to work with him to try to get congress to pass a border security bill. what's going on there? >> well, wolf, this is actually a really underappreciated political dynamic because it's, i think it's easy particularly on cable news and on twitter, where people are really trying to score points and make their case. actually, most voters across the country want to see their elected officials work together. it may sound strange to, you know? but to hear joe biden saying donald trump come to the table with me, but actually, most people who are just going about their lives, they actually want to see their elected officials work together. so again, i think this is another case of biden calling trump's bluff. he's saying, listen, i'm willing to take measures here. i'm willing to find solutions were at the one yard line and you fall humbled the ball. so if you want to come to the table and
3:12 pm
get things done, i'm willing to work with you. it shows people that he's serious about the issue that's important as well. scott how likely are swing voters out there to look past any potential reservations they may have with trump if they see him as better on what they regard as the most important issue facing the country. as you see in this new poll, 28% saying it's the top issue. >> yeah. i mean, obviously it's becoming more and more important as people get familiar with these stories like the laken riley story out of georgia. i mean, republicans and i think independent swing voters are on fire about this because they want under at the same time, joe biden's administration was telling us the border was secure in 2022, the person who is alleged to have killed that young lady that's about the time he was coming across. and people wonder, how can you tell us the border is secure, but at the same time, apparently violent criminals are coming in and then committing unspeakable i acts against american citizens.
3:13 pm
young people like that college student. it's despicable so you can call it anecdotal and you can throw charts and graphs at people. but these are emotional, visceral stories and they put a human face on what people now believe is a complete failure by the executive branch to handle and secure the southern border. >> very strong analysis from all of you thanks once again, and there's more breaking news just ahead as we dig into the just released transcript of hunter biden's closed-door deposition on capitol hill, details on how we challenged republicans. that's next the situation room with wolf blitzer brought to you by >> chase, make more of what's your meet the jennifer's each planning their future for the chase mobile app hello, new apartment. >> one bank for now for later for life >> tastes, make more of what's yours

3:18 pm
>> well, what this was? a combative interview went on for several hours and the bottom line from hunter biden is what we've heard from him and his from his legal team, that the president united states, his father, never benefited from his business dealings in ukraine with chinese companies over the years. this is what of course is at the center of this investigation by republicans and what is what they believe is what is what is under undergirds. their effort to hold the president in to try to impeach the president of the united states. i'll read you just a part of this exchange that hunter biden has with his questioners from the republican staff. and in some cases, from a prevalence members, republican members of congress. here is one exchange from hunter biden in which he says, all i know is this. my father was never involved in any of my business ever never received a cent from anyone from anybody
3:19 pm
or never benefited in any way. he goes on later on as part of this exchange with an unidentified question unidentified questioner from the republican side. well, if he says i appreciate the job that you all have but i'm telling you this is that if you can show me where any money that i've ever had went to my father other than, for instance, the repayment of ar $1,500, $1,300 $1,300 for a loan for a truck. okay. so what he's going after their wolf is a claim from republicans some of his banking records which appear to show money going from him to his father and why they have said is that this shows he was trying to share some of his earnings from some of his business dealings in ukraine. in particular, with his father, hunter biden saying no, that's not true. and you can look at some of the records. there there's a lot of this wolf again, is him being defiant and
3:20 pm
combative with some of the republicans. he goes after some of them for examining his dealings, but not jared kushner, who got into business with saudis $2 billion after his father-in-law left office wealth. and then there's also another the exchange with matt gaetz over the use of drugs, something of course, hunter biden has acknowledged very widely as part of his public explanation of some of his legal problems. will evan thank you very much for that update. i want to get some reaction right now from a key democratic lawmaker who attended hunter biden's deposition, congressman dan goldman congressman. thank you so much for joining us. >> first of all, what was your >> key takeaway from this more than six hour long deposition of hunter biden, you were there i mean, the key takeaway is that there is absolutely nothing there as part of this impeachment investigation. there hasn't been all of the other witnesses who have come
3:21 pm
before this committee have said that they were unaware or they did not believe that there was any involvement of joe biden in hunter biden's businesses, and there are no bank records that the republicans can show to two identify any money that did go to joe biden and what hunter biden did yesterday was put a ton of context around what we already know, which is that this is a baseless sham investigation with no facts and no evidence. and he methodically went through every single deal that he was asked about to explain exactly how it worked, how he was very intent on keep making sure that his father was never involved, and that to the extent that he ever had had introduced any business associates to his father, it was merely to say hello. as devon archer testified to as well, and that there was never
3:22 pm
any discussion of any of his businesses. i urge everybody to read the transcript. you are going to hear a tremendous amount of distortion from the house republicans about what he said. i have just looked online at what chairman jim jordan has tweeted out. it is embarrassing that the chairman of the judiciary committee is trying to make the feeble points that he's making that are both wrong, but also even if they're right, it is so pathetic that this is an impeachment investigation of the president biden, when there's nothing that connects the president to anything that hunter did, republican congresswoman nancy mace accused hunter biden of being dishonest, saying his answers in her words conflicted with other there are witnesses. is that what you heard >> know? this is what happened. hunter biden said repeatedly that he does not did not remember seeing an a document,
3:23 pm
an email. he did not remember writing it. eight years, ten >> years ago? but he in many cases did not dispute the documents and what they said. and he responded to the substance of the those documents. so what they are trying to do is say, oh, i didn't remember, i don't remember seeing this eight years ago, but now that i'm looking at it, this is what it means, or this is what but it says and they're trying to turn that into him being dishonest or having contradictory testimony. he didn't have any contradictory testimony and to the extent that he did have contradictory testimony it was because he has better knowledge than the other witnesses that the republicans are trying to hang their hat on? >> do you believe, congressman, that republicans will still go ahead with this impeachment of president biden, despite failing to turn up evidence implicating him, at least so far wolf, it will be a real,
3:24 pm
real disservice to the american people in an abuse of power. if the house republicans continue with this investigation, hunter biden put the nail in the coffin of any allegations related to foreign influence, peddling with china or any other countries. and what we know about the burisma allegations related to ukraine is that they were a plant by russian intelligence through a double agent working with the fbi to try to interfere in our election. there is no evidence to continue this investigation, none whatsoever. and if the house republican kids do continue with this investigation, they are doing that knowing that they are aiding and abetting vladimir putin's effort to interfere in the upcoming election. this needs to end. >> now, former fbi informant has been accused by the fbi of lying and passing along false russian and for mason and all of this, congressman dan
3:25 pm
goldman. thank you so much for joining us. we'll continue this conversation down the road. >> thank you, wolf. and coming up >> more than 100 are dead in gaza after israel fires on an aid convoy, civilians trampled and run over by trucks in the deadly afternoon via a headliner, las vegas that's what i want to do. >> it's unlike anywhere else in the world. >> vegas, the story of sin city sunday at ten on cnn he is a you know

free generator and solar panels. now >> erin burnett, outfront tonight on cnn officials have gaza say more than 100 people are dead after israeli forces opened fire near an aid convoy. the incident comes as palestinian authorities announced, the death toll since the beginning of the war has just hit a staggering milestone. 30,000 cnn's paula hancocks has our report and we
3:30 pm
want to warn our viewers that contains graphic images showed up on the back of donkey carts. dignity and death does not exist here a day that started with hope of aid finally reaching this neighborhood of gaza city ended in carnage. details of what happened and when they happened are contested. eye witnesses say israeli tanks escorting humanitarian aid trucks opened fire one journalist tells cnn, some were shot, but most of the casualties were from the following panic. a stampede and aid trucks running over desperate residents as they fled this woman says, our children are dying of hunger they wanted to get a bag of flour to feed the children some were run over, others were shot the israeli military however, says there were two incidents. the first where residents rushed the trucks and a deadly stampede and shoot the second
3:31 pm
when the israeli military fired on a group of palestinians who they claim posed a threat and did not not move away from their military position, came afterwards. we are operating in order to maintain operational activity and conduct our combat on one hand. and maintain the outgoing flow of humanitarian goods humanitarian supplies on the other >> what cannot be disputed is the sheer desperation of pink i put here aid rarely reaches northern gaza. fighting is never far away >> it's just me show you this is more damage. >> this man says of the body, he has cradley you just want to get a bit of bread, a bag of flour for his family displaced at a school in jabalya camp, un agencies warn of famine, saying this is the worst level of child malnutrition anywhere in the world. the us health ministry claims at least half a dozen children have died in recent days of dehydration and malnutrition. unicef says it could only get worse.
3:32 pm
>> we're seeing a very dangerous form of malnutrition in the north around 15% in children three times. what are these in rapper in the south? again, clear your evidence that when we're able when we are allowed to get in lifesaving aid, it's making a difference >> countries now resorting to airdrops to get aid into gaza and imprecise and in perfect way to save lives paula hancocks, cnn, abu dhabi >> paula hancocks, thank you for that report. let's get some analysis right now from two guests, former state department middle east negotiator aaron david miller and a senior fellow over at the middle east institute here in washington to khalid elgindy followed. let me start with you. how did we get to this point? we're starving civilians genes are being killed, trying to get the very little aid, the food that may actually makes it into gaza. and what accountability should israel face? >> well how we got here
3:33 pm
>> it's been a grueling almost five months now, and i think the trajectory began almost immediately after the october 7 attacks. two days later, we saw an announcement of by the israeli minister of defense, that all food, water, and medicine and fuel would be cut off. there be a total siege. >> and >> so you could draw a direct line from there to where we are now there has been very little humanitarian assistance going into gaza over the past month. even the trickle that was coming in has been reduced. and so we're seeing intense hunger and borderline famine i think the important thing to remember here is the reason aid is not coming in. the reason people are starving is a function of israeli decision-making. this is an israeli policy to hold up
3:34 pm
food and water from the civilian population. i think everyone who's looked at the issue, including us senators have, have acknowledged that erin do awful scenes like the ones we're seeing today as this death toll in gaza now passes 30,000. does all that increased pressure on president biden now to change course in his handling of this war it does will offend closer to home. you had the results, the primary in michigan, which do not oliver well, for november if in fact the pictures in gaza, it can't be changed. and that leads i think to the key issue. is there enough urgency and the part of hamas and israel to sign on to at least the 45 day humanitarian pause temporary ceasefire, call it what you will >> that would >> essentially create reliable corridors and safe zones for the delivery within the gaza
3:35 pm
and within gaza of humanitarian assistance that so badly needed that's critically important because from the beginning wolf, it's been these two combatants that have set the tone, the tempo, the escalation, de-escalation at various points in outside parties, including the united states, particularly the united states, has exerted very little leverage in trying to push in this wreck, in this respect, the israelis to move more quickly. >> it was interesting, there was a very sad to hear earlier today holiday that the us defense secretary austin, said that at least 25,000 palestinian women and children have been killed in gaza since this war began. >> what more >> leverage does the us have to persuade prime minister newton? you to do more to protect palestinian civilians in gaza >> well, i mean, the united states has enormous leverage as israel's closest ally, as
3:36 pm
israel's chief weapon supplier, as israel's primary cover, diplomatic cover in the united nations and other international forums. three different times. most recently, a week or so ago united states has blocked ceasefire resolution. the united states could end this horror that we're watching on a daily basis. if it chose to do so. >> at a >> minimum, the united states could prevent, could slow down, at least if not, actually stop the weapon. the weapons flow to israel. israel could not be carrying out this war without us weapons. in fact, what we've seen is the opposite at the biden administration has fast-tracked us weapons, bypassed congress on two different occasions. and so there is quite a lot of leverage. there just isn't
3:37 pm
really any political will to use it and it's not clear why. i mean, it's this war is horrific. it's unwinnable from israel standpoint, the notion of netanyahu's delusions of total victory are just that i think the longer this goes on we're just going to see more death and destruction yeah. we are seeing i will point out college and erin, i will point out that more lawmakers here in washington especially democratic senators, are calling for conditions to be placed on condition continued us military aid to israel as a result of what is going on, khalid elgindy, aaron david miller to both you will continue this conversation down the road. thank you very much coming up. we're learning more about what the special counsel jack smith is

i'm rosa flores in eagle pass, texas. and this is cnn >> there's more breaking news coming into the situation room just ahead of a key hearing in the trump classified documents case tomorrow. the timing of the former president's trial under review in the aftermath of the us supreme court's decision to hear trump's immunity dispute. senior justice correspondent jessica schneider is working the story for us. what are you learning, jessica? >> well, wolf tonight, both sides are really looking to get ahead of tomorrow's arguments. they're both proposing new trial start dates in this classified documents case. so the special counsel now proposing july 8, and also trump's team is proposing august 12th. they're actually saying that he can't have a fair trial before the election. but if he does, they wanted august 12 and, you these are significant time periods after this case was originally slated to go to go to trial here. and both of these sides are likely proposing these new dates, knowing that there was a very high likelihood that that
3:43 pm
initial may 20, date will get pushed back at tomorrow's hearing. looking at the legal calendar, you see that there is a lot going on between now and august. so these new dates are very important because any july or august start date, it could potentially upend any summer start date to the dc election case. that's currently on hold because of the supreme court court now agreeing to hear arguments on whether donald trump is immune from prosecution in that case. so there's a lot already unfolding and advanced of tomorrow's hearing down in florida that hearing could last most of the day. donald trump is expected to attend and we're also seeing both trump's team and prosecutors. they're moving forward with plans for this eventual trial. vance of this hearing. they've submitted a list of questions they want given to potential jurors prosecutors in particular, they want to ask prospective jurors if they believe the 2020 election was stolen. so that could be one of the questions it could be one of many questions that trump's team and prosecutors will actually argue over. they're also arguing
3:44 pm
over the the length that the trial here prosecutors are recommending four to six weeks. the defense suggesting eight to ten. again, we'll part of trump's trump's team's legal strategy to really delay here by proposing maybe an even longer trial, then then the prosecutors let's do wolf, jessica schneider reporting for us. thanks for that background. let's get some more with our cnn legal analysts, elliot williams and jennifer rodgers. jennifer, how significant is it that the special counsel is now suggesting a july trial when he's been pushing for this case to be tried as soon as possible. is that an admission that tentative may trial date simply won't hold >> i think it is. well, if you got to see the writing on the wall at some point, judge cannon has been slow in her rulings, dragging her feet a bit, particularly with the litigation over classified information at the trial to the point where a may trial date just isn't feasible. all at this point. so i think judge projects with this team was trying to do the best they can
3:45 pm
at this point to get it tried as soon as possible. and that's the right position to take >> probably at between the special counsel's proposal for a july 8 trial, that would be the date they want and trump's proposed date for august 12th. how do you expect the judge judge cannon, in this case? to rule? >> oh, goodness. i you know, it's hard to know what the judge how the judge is going to roll and tobacco up jennifer's point. the judge has not acted with tremendous efficiency or speed up until this point, so it's hard to see sort of where she's going to go. now judges when deciding when to put trials on the factory, number of things into consideration. number one, her own calendar, and the court's calendar is going to be relevant. what trials does she and other court personnel have in that time? number two, do they think the parties can adequately get ready for trial before between july 8 and that'll be the point of tomorrow's hearing. if the answer is yes, then certainly the judge could proceed with the dry trial date. she could agree to the august 1, frankly, just throw her hands up and kick it further down the road jennifer, how will trump's
3:46 pm
already very steck legal calendar and we see some suggestions of that how will that impact a way on judge cannon's decision here? >> i don't think she'll be able to take that into account because nothing else is currently scheduled for the summer if there actually were a date for the other federal case, it would be different. but at this point, with everything held up and pending in the supreme court, i think she has to proceed based on her calendar and get it done as quickly as possible. >> we will see what happens. jennifer rodgers elie williams, to both of you. thank you very much. coming up. vladimir putin in his own words, new threats and new warnings of nuclear war during a marathon speech from the russian president >> sunday, van jones it's home to find out what is driving the divide in tennessee politics. >> there has been a very active 20 to 30 year effort to separate us, >> the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at eight
