they abuse it? they abuse it was surgical precision. >> tuesday nights results were decidedly republican. >> it's a paradigm shift in our state. >> republicans now have a super two-thirds majority in the house and senate and in this moment, they start taking increasingly conservative policy changes around all sorts of policy areas. guns, health care, abortion. but a spanish actually, when it comes to democratic institutions like voting rights and district thing, what happens in tennessee is going to happen in nearly any red controlled state after this time period. but tennessee is really leading the charge in many ways. >> all right. and all new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper, one whole hour, one whole story airs tomorrow at 08:00 p.m. eastern and pacific only on cnn. thank you all for joining me today. i had fun. hope you had fun, hope you learn something. i'll be back if you tomorrow though, tomorrow afternoon to eastern. i'm omar jimenez, newsroom continues right now with jessica dean you're

>> in the cnn newsroom. hi, everyone. i'm jessica dean in new york, white house officials say they're monitoring the location where us aircraft has dropped bundles of aid supplies over gaza today, according to officials, civilians have been distributed in the eight on the ground at a location that was chosen because officials believed a large number of people were sheltering nearby. at the same time, a senior us official michelle now saying, israel has quote, basically accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal to release more hostages. and it's now up to hamas to agree still alvarez is joining us now in washington. priscilla, what's the white house saying about this airdrop today? >> well, they were describing it as successful for some of the reasons that you described there at the top after dropping this aid and a region where they assessed that people were sheltering and a knee. they did

see those civilians approach the aid and begin to distribute it, which is a war welcome sign, because again, this is part of an effort to scale up aid to gaza, which is in a desperate situation. now we are getting some details as to what exactly was dropped. so it was 66 bundles. this was done with the ir for base and in total, it was 38,000 meals. now that's me heels that does not include water and medical supplies, but even so, president biden in a tweet today saying that this is still not enough that more aid needs to be shored up to gaza. and that's really what senior administration officials we're telling reporters today that they want to flood the zone and that includes these humanitarian aid drops. but it also includes exploring other avenues like a maritime corridor to get more aid into gaza. in addition to opening up those land crossings that has been a big challenge and one that they say none of this this is a substitute for those land

crossings need to be open so that more, more of this aid can get in. but even in the absence of that, or at least in a narrowing of that, they do say that they are going to continue these aid drops because again, jessica, this is a dire situation and one that white house officials are keenly aware of yeah >> and we've also are getting word today from a us official, priscilla, on some progress that has potentially been made toward a ceasefire, a hostage deal. what can you tell us about the latest on those talks which have been ongoing? >> they have and they're very delicate and sensitive talks. but a senior administration official saying today that israel has basically accepted the frameworks of a deal. now, what this deal includes is a six-week ceasefire and the idea of this ceasefire is to allow for the release of vulnerable hostages. that includes women the elderly, and the wounded. at the same time, it would allow for a surge of humanitarian aid into gaza and we'll all of that is happening. the hope is that over the

course of those six weeks, officials can continue their discussions to work out some of the stickier point, such as the release of hostages that are idf members but all of this is still ongoing. and as administration officials have said from the beginning, no deal is a done deal until the very end. now, as all of this is happening, we are also learning that vice president kamala harris will be meeting with israeli war cabinet member benny gantz on monday. so this meeting coming at this critical juncture as the us is pushing for both humanitarian aid and for this hostage deal to reach the finish line before ramadan, a date that us officials have repeatedly cited as one when they would want to see this come to fruition. now, while the israeli war cabinet member is in town, he's also expected to meet with national security adviser jake sullivan. so in all of these talks, the focus will be on what is happening right now, but also critically, the day after planning for gaza, which is especially has been a priority for vice

president kamala harris i've been hoping to. get this done by ramadan that starts about a week from monday. so priscilla alvarez for us there the clock is on. thanks so much for that update for us. let's take a look now at politics and former president donald trump on the road in north carolina and virginia, two states that will hold primaries on super tuesday just three days from now at a campaign rally in greensboro, trump leaned into one of his familiar topics, conspiracies about the 2020 election do you ever noticed that they go after the people that want to find out where the cheating was. by the way, 82% of the country understands that it was a rigged election you can have a country with that >> a >> poll came out at 2% of course, there was no evidence that the election was rigged. cnn's steve contorno joining us now live from richmond, virginia, where trump will be headed to soon. see what else is the former president saying

today? >> well it's interesting. he's holding these events in north carolina and virginia, which are obviously voting on super tuesday and the message to his supporters is yes, we want you to show up and vote in those primaries. but these are also, this message is very much tailored toward a general election audience that we are starting to to see him preview and test out his strategy for defeating president joe biden in november in north carolina, for example, he talked a lot about what he he saw in this most recent tripped at the border. take a listen to what he said >> biden's conduct on our border is by any definition, a conspiracy to overthrow the united states of america all right. can you know he talks about democracy? he is a danger to democracy >> now those remarks were made in north carolina, one of the more interesting states is going to vote on tuesday because it's going in a plane

and factor into the november election, as well as one of these swing states that we are expecting both biden and trump to compete for. trump has won it twice, but his knock-knock june narrowed each time, and they are very hopeful on the biden side that they can turn it blue in november, jessica, i'll see we also know that trump's been a large portion this rally railing on the legal charges against him. of course, that has been a huge piece of his strategy for this election cycle. what did he have to say about it today? >> yeah. and he was obviously down in mar-a-lago on on friday as he gets goes through this, these legal challenges, but it's we're seeing him have to go through this court calendar and the primary calendar at the same time and balance those two things. it's today, for example apple, he had the idaho caucus is the missouri caucuses tomorrow is the dc primary. super tuesday is coming up this week as well. so we're really moving quickly through the gop

nominating calendar now, he's looking ahead to the general election, but still very much focused on these legal we'll challenge is that he's facing jessica. >> so we will expect to get some results from idaho and missouri. and then we turn to super tuesday. so many states voting then steve contorno on the road but for us, thanks so much for that reporting. we appreciate it >> well, the next eight months going to be a slugfest between president biden and former president trump the race is neck and neck right now in polling, who should be more worried. and right now, it's a mess getting around parts of california and nevada seven roe feet of snowfall and with more expected in the coming hours, plus some areas are experiencing hurricane force winds were done the storm for you are in the cnn newsroom back room, deals, cia secrets of fares, bribery, corruption, prostitution there's so much more to the store. >> united states of scandal

let's start first. donald trump is insisting on making this campaign a referendum on the insurrection, on the criminal charges against him >> why scott do that? instead of focusing on inflation or the border, he does talk about those things, but he certainly the cornerstone, i think it could be argued is about the grievance, the airing of grievances and the prosecution against him >> well, i mean, i've all i have to look at is what the latest polling says and the latest polling says that americans disapprove of joe biden on the economy. they think he's weak on immigration. you go down the list. that's what the election is going to be about whether donald trump mentioned one thing or the other, or even whether joe biden mentioned is one thing or the other, the american people are going to render a judgment here on the incumbent. and right now, those issues are inflation, the economy immigration is now the top issue in the country according to the gallup poll. so that's what it's really about. and i think that's why joe biden is losing and karen,

within this polling, we also saw this number, 18% of americans, 18% say they feel biden's >> policies have helped them. he is set to deliver the state of the union next week, we get really excited about the state of the union in the media and in dc but how teen use that platform? and can he use that platform to change americans minds are normal, americans who were not us kind of obsessing over all of this. will they be watching and does he have an opportunity there? >> well, let me just say one quick thing about the poll. i would just remind us that we've had several other polls in the last few weeks where biden has been tied or ahead. so we have to take each one sort of as a piece of information that tells us something about what's going on at a snapshot in terms of the state of the union, this stakes are high. it will be quite frankly, the first i would say, speech from the president of the general election because i think we all expect, i think scott would

agree that it will be very clear by the end of the night on tuesday that donald trump is the republican nominee. so they gets an important opportunity for president biden too. so not just talking about what he's done, but also to talk about what the next term would look like because elections are about the future. that's one of the things that i think for trump that will continue to be the more we go through this election. and he is talking about the past and people are reminded and hearing from him every they remember we've had kind of a four-year, three-year break which has been nice, but when that's hitting every day, that contrast i think will be important and i think you'll hear president biden also talk about people who have been impacted by the biden harris record. and again, i think he'll talk about what is to come. i suspect here a little bit about immigration. as scott mentioned, it's a top issue and will likely hear about the fact that when we had a deal that could have made a difference and democrats went

farther than ever before donald trump shut it down. and that contrast what will be important? >> and i want to get to super tuesday in just one second, but scott just to wrap up on state of the union and how what the strategy might be here. the polling, again, karen has a good point that we have to take each pole and then put them together. but looking at this particular poll, this latest snapshot, it shows that he has weakening support amongst the broad coalition of the electorate i'm in 2020, younger voters, voters of color, you can kind of women. >> who should >> he be speaking to? who do you think he's going to be speaking to? can you both shore up your base and also start to reach out to independents? how do you do that? >> well, he's got fires in multiple places in his house, and so it's like when you grab the fire extinguisher, which room do you run to first? i mean, that's really his problem. i mean, you mentioned the demographics that are problematic. i mean, tied among women losing a quarter almost of african american voters

losing hispanics i mean, across the board that you can see the flow here, paula, this, this working class multiracial coalition flowing towards the republican party, flowing towards donald trump, because they're dissatisfied with the economy and other things. under joe biden. so, you know, it's a long speech, by the way, and he could do more multiple things. i would just point out last year's state of the union biden was judged to have done a good job the instant polling was very good. and then a couple of weeks later, the polling on everything had changed. zip zilch nada, not a single move statistically significant movement in any survey about what happened last year. so if i were them, obviously it's an important moment, but i wouldn't be expecting to dramatic of polling movement coming out of one speech >> okay, so what immediate go ahead, karen >> just real quickly, everything i wanted to mention though, about the poll and about this speech and this sort of where we are in this moment

is that, remember that every time whether it was just the new york special election, the midterm elections in 2022, the special elections in 2023, when people have actually gone to the polls to vote, the results have been very good for democrats and for the message that joe biden will be running on it. so i think let's not count him out just yet. i know that's usually get undercounted and trump kinda gets overcounted. but i think we should remember that when people go to the polls and vote, they are supportive of the biden agenda. that's why i think you're going to hear quite a bit about it on thursday >> and so let's talk. so that's thursday first on tuesday that we have super tuesday in this republican primary, we have nikki haley as the sole all last rival to the former president scott. does she have a chance at putting it, putting any dent in his in how strong he has been and stopping him from capturing his team keeps saying that he's going to have enough delegates within the next couple of weeks to clinch this nomination.

>> yeah. i mean, short answer for his know. >> this is >> decided actual republicans want donald trump to be the republican nominee, and that is what is going to happen. there may be pockets such as washington, dc, where she does better than in other states. but the broad primary electorate here of republican brian primary voters, they've made their choice and they're not open to other arguments right now. i mean, she sometimes says objectively true things about the country and about trump and about biden. >> but >> it's over because they've already made up their minds that they want trump. and when things like the new york times sienna poll come out and reinforce to those republicans that, hey, donald trump can win this election. it makes it even harder for her to speak to republicans about the strategic voting argument that she's based a lot of her campaign on. so i think super tuesday is going to be a big night for donald trump. and i agree with what karen said on thursday, then you'll see joe biden speaking to the country on the state of the union. i mean, the general election really is upon us. >> i mean, that's a great

point like you're right not to put the cart before the horse, but i think because of all the reasons you just laid out, we are going to see this shift to the general election really in a big way this week, karen i think we just lost karen, but scott don't, you just said it, but yes well i think yeah. well, look, i think karen i think karen karen is exactly right. she she was pointing out that joe biden is going to have to relentlessly focus on donald trump already seeing him do that by the way. but for the democrats at this point, there's no reason to wait. i mean, it's going to be trump. it's obviously that's what the report publican party is going to do. so everything he does at the state of the union. and from now on, we're going to have a very long general election and there's a lot of issues that biden's got to shore up. i expect to hear a lot about the core issues that democrats have been running on. abortion certainly, they're going to talk about democracy, although that means something different. as you pointed out earlier, paula to republican voters. but unless they get

something fixed up here on the economy and immigration, i got to tell you, it feels very tough for him right now, just because he's so far down with the american people on those two issues. he's got a long way to go. a lot of ground to make up among people who've concluded that he's just not done a very good job on it. >> karen away by. cun one second, but i just want to shift. >> i'm glad you're back by the way. but i wanted before we let you go, it's you worked for and are close to the current senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, who announced he's going to step back as republican leader, which is a sea change, not just on the hill, but really in washington there's a lot of jockeying for his job right now amongst a number of republican senators how do you think this is going to play out? and what does it say about the party moving forward? because mitch mcconnell kind of represents this old guard in a way well, i think first of all, there are a number of republicans who could win and they're all very good. the three johns as they're called in washington are

excellent senator daines, who's running the nrsc. excellent trump likes him. we really do have some good senators who i think would make good leaders. i would say that it wasn't unexpected that this would be mcconnell's last term. and if i had to bet these people who are angling for this had already been having conversations quietly with the rest of their conference about shoring up bow. so this this actually maybe a little firmer for a few of these candidates. then we know behind the scenes but obviously if donald trump gets elected president and he, he's coming into the white house. what he says is going to be influential. and right now, he had something positive to say about senator daines so long way to go though. but remember, these folks spend a lot of time together and i would say these relationships are pretty firm. from behind the scenes for the people who have known for quite some time that this was likely to be senator mcconnell's last term as leader. >> that this was coming and karen, just to give you kind of the last word here, democrats have used mitch mcconnell is a

foil for years to really drive home their message and try to rile up their base. how do you see this change affecting democratic messaging? again, is as mitch mcconnell was really the one that put this supreme help pave the way to put this supreme court as it is in place. >> yeah. >> look, i think what it says to the country is that this is a wholesale takeover of the republican party by donald trump each of the three johns, they've endorsed donald trump. so what scott just said, yes, i think there's a relationship there, but whereas mitch mcconnell yes, he was a foil, but even. president obama would acknowledge that you could back-channel to him and he was a look at where the position he's taken on ukraine. he sort of been someone that you can talk to. he was trying to help get this deal on immigration. for example. i mean, he does have a sense of the bigger picture. obviously there's a lot i agree with him on and he's done so a lot of things

that i think have been damaging to the country that being said, i think the message you're going to see, and i think the action you're going to see is a reminder to america that again, this would be a wholesale takeover of congress if, if the republicans retain control and no, if donald trump were to win, there would be absolutely no checks and balances on him and on that power. and for some of us, we need look no farther than what's happening in russia. and the ways in which dolan from idolizes vitamin putin to understand what is he wants to try to emulate in an x it's term and how dangerous that could be again, with wholesale control of the senate and potentially the house, it's going to be a long fight. and again, as we said, i think the general election starts next week along general election for everyone, all of us here in america. all right. karen finney and scott jennings. >> my thanks to both of you. i appreciate thank you, kevin, on

and it's prompting authorities to shut down a major stretch in california, close in nevada. cnn's elisa raffa is in our weather center tracking the storm at least any signs of this kind of slowing down or getting to its end not really as we go through the weekend, we're going to continue to pump this snow blizzard warnings are in effect through much of sunday, free water these places in >> california, you see these purples that's where we have extreme impacts from this, we're talking about impossible travel whiteout conditions, not just from heavy snow, but we've got damaging winds that have been gusting upwards of 65, 70 even, or to miles per hour. he extremely heavy snowfall rates up to four inches an hour. i mean, look at some of the snow totals that we've seen already they're already two inches in mt. rose ski base, 42 inches and king valle, so we've had totals that are well over three feet in some spots already. >> and like i >> mentioned, the blizzard warnings continue as we go into sunday, you see all these oranges here. that's where we've got the rare blizzard good morning in the sierra

nevadas, the storm is just so intense. look at the thunder snow over parts of salt lake city. you've got a lightning in some of this and you can see we're all that moisture is meeting the cold air at the tops of the mountains. and that's know just keeps pumping in the highest elevations above 5,000, 6,000 feet. that's where we're talking about snow totals over 12 inches. here's a look at some of these wind gusts that have been upwards of 100 miles per hour, 114 miles per hour in mammoth mountain will continue with these winged goes up to 70 miles per hour and the wind goes spread eastward into the central plains, looking at ngss, they're up to 35 40 miles per hour. and that's going to make fire conditions there continuing through the weekend. we've got red flag warnings in effect for the oklahoma and texas panhandle is because not only do have the wind, you have incredibly low relative humidity, only about 15%. and that's what's going to keep these fire conditions pretty healthy. over 1 million acres have already burned in parts of the texas panhandle that fires only 15% contained at last

check. and like i mentioned, the fire weather conditions do continue as we go through the weekend today. and again, there you see tomorrow. >> all right. elisa raffa for us. thanks so much for that update. and let's talk more about those texas wildfires in texas, at least two people are dead as that smokehouse creek fire becomes the largest in that state's history firefighters are racing to contain the flames. it's already burned through 1 million acres it's only up to 15% contained and strong winds and higher temperatures which could fan the flames on the way, as lisa just laid out for us cnn's camila bernal is on the ground in the scorched city of fritch, texas. camila, i'm looking behind you. there is just not nothing left. tell us more about what you're seeing >> it's really devastating. jessica. it's that cleanup process that grieving process because so many homes look like what you're seeing here behind me. this is the entrance to the johnston family home or what

was once the place where they had dinners together. they raise seven children in this property and now this is what they're walking into. so this was the porch the area where they watched their sunsets and made barbecues. and you'd walk into the house and this was the living area. and unfortunately, we were here to talk talk to the family and they say that it is just so hard to have to rebuild, to have to start all over again, both emotionally and financially. they said they they do not want to leave this place. take a listen to what it was like to come here for the first time >> we came back about 10:30 that night, we kind of snuck these branches dr. appearance don >> this was >> pretty tough so you're seeing a similar situation all

over this town, but >> you're also seeing the impacts in the cattle and ranching industry because 85% of the cattle here in texas is raised in the panhandle. and so you're seeing financial impacts that they believe will not just be over the next couple of months, it could take years to rebuild some of these businesses and re just essentially come back to where they work day or before the fire. and so you're seeing a community coming together trying to help families like the johnson family. and of course, the ranchers here because it's so important to this community, jessica. >> it is just devastating and our hearts go out to them. camila bernal, with that update. thank you for that reporting and joining us now with the latest on that the effort to contain the fires is jason ned low. he's a spokesperson with the texas a&m forest service. that's the lead fire agency in texas. thanks so much for being with us. i just want to get right to the chase here. what's the

latest on this effort to slow these down? and do we have any sense of a timeframe when this might be under control? >> hey, jessica, are you doing we >> will have a much better >> sense of control after this weekend this weekend is put us back into red red flag warnings and fire weather with strong winds, low relative humidity, and active fire on the ground so we're really trying to get through this weekend. there's the potential for large fire growth, again through sunday night so that's really the focus now, early next week, i think we'll be able to focus a little more on what we might get closer to containment and it sounds like what you're saying is that it's just really bad conditions. that's making its this even more difficult that the wind and the weather is making this even harder. >> that's exactly right. we actually had snow on thursday, which sounds like a good thing,

but all that does is pretty much frost cure. the grasses. it pulls the water out. and then when it dries back up again, those are ready to burn texas in the panhandle had a higher than average rain over the winter. and so there's a lot more grass which we consider fuel that's what's going to burn. so there's a lot of fuel on the ground. >> and when >> you add a high winds and low humidity to high fuel load levels, that's when you get the conditions that are ripe for large, fast-spreading modifiers, which is what we've had here on smokehouse creek. >> and jason at this point, is there any indication or idea yet about what caused this fire? >> those investigations are still ongoing in from talking to the authorities were investigating the cause, there's been no report filed. they really don't have an idea what's caused those fires well, we're all thinking about you guys. i know that is a really hard situation with such real consequences for so many

always unclear whether the russia is deliberately trying to kill civilians or in error, hitting targets. they think a military or simply just don't care, or a mixture of all three. and it's also reminded two of how western aid drying up is having an immediate impact on ukrainians air defenses. ukraine has always warned maybe the first things to go along with western aid drying up. and at the same time to increasingly bad news from the eastern france, i hate to be too emphatic, but it does appear ukraine is deeply struggling to hold some of its defensive lines, particularly around the town of avdiivka, which two weekends ago, they gave up to the russians they've since lost three villages to its west ukrainian officials gesture that was always part of their plan to pull back to an established line, but now part that defensive line is heavily contested by russia. some geolocated footage, in fact, showing what the important villages there is entirely destroyed and some suggestions. in fact, the russians are indeed inside that too deep

please challenging time for ukraine. they're both dealing with a lack of ammunition, personnel and it seems an ebbing of the unity of western support, but also a resurgent russia, who troops you spoken to on the front line described as being able to jt relentlessly commit more personnel and munitions day after the day without it seems cessation ukraine's new military commander, alexander sirsky. well, he has twice now, but raided his commanders for poor performance just on saturday, suggesting that some were not up to the job despite having the right manning and equipment and he had to make some personnel changes he had previously said that there had been miscalculations by some of his commanders. so all in all the picture deeply bleak for ukraine, both in terms of its support, its ability to hold russia back on the key front lines. it's not these villagers themselves very important. it's ukraine's ability to establish a new front line and hold it without that, they risk losing a lot more territory in the weeks and months ahead particularly if they don't get more western support, jessica all right.

>> nick paton walsh for us in ukraine as any aid for ukraine remains stalled in the us house. thanks so much for that reporting the 2024 biden versus trump match-up has the potential to turn out very the front than the 2020 election. whereas the president's slipping, whereas trump greening, gaining ground, we're going to run the numbers are in the cnn newsroom tomorrow. >> all eyes on the southern border. secretary alejandro mayorkas joins dana plus senator dick durbin on trump some unity case. and senator markwayne mullin on new leadership in the senate, state of the union, live tomorrow morning at nih >> know yeah it's great

likely voters. compare that to where we were four years ago at this point, joe biden was up six points and this is something that i'm not quite sure has sunk in with a lot of people. that is joe biden did not trail in a single poll that met cnn's standards for publication during the 2020 campaign. you see this poll from the new york times that has trust i'm pumped for. it's not the only poll that's had trump up for cnn has featured numerous polls conducted by our own polling staff that has had trump up by four or 5% points. so this is just looking very, very different and i know the joe biden campaign wants to dismiss these polls. but as someone who likes to look at this stuff dispassionately, i simply put kennedy not dismiss this. the current incumbent president simply put, isn't a lot of trouble >> here. there's also a fair amount of underlying data in these polls too that you kind of dig in and look through as well. how did that shape up? >> yeah. it's not just the top line that would worry me if i were joe biden, take a look at

this question that the new york times put on there. paul, their policies have personally either helped or hurt me 42% of likely voters say that donald trump's policies have helped them compared to just 20% who say the same about joe biden's policies versus hurt me 44% of likely voters say that biden's policies have personally hurt them compared to just 27% of trump's. so this isn't just something where they're not necessarily liking joe biden they are also liking donald trump's policies far more than joe biden's. and this is the thing that would concern me. most were just looking at one question here, jessica, but the fact is, as you look deep inside of these polls, you look at the internals, you look at the other questions besides the horse race, they support what the horse race is showing and that is that down trump has a lead because on issue after issue after issue, more voters say they trust donald trump than joe biden or say that biden's policies have hurt them more than donald trump's policies have let's talk about the gop primary. we have super tuesday coming up in just a few days how are things shaping up

for the former president nikki haley? of course, the former governor still in that race against him yeah. >> if you were essentially look right now at the horse race, nationally speaking, what do we see? we see that donald trump crushing nikki haley nationally. look at that 76 to 21%. in fact, the only base that i can find that nikki haley has among likely republican primary voters are those voters who act actually voted for joe biden in 2020. and i don't think i have to tell you that that group makes up a very small sliver of the republican party. if your base of voters are folks who are predisposed to not like donald trump you're in massive trouble. so this poll, this new york times, paul doesn't just have good news for donald trump in a general election. it supports the fact that he's a very heavy favorite in the primary as well. >> and obviously tuesday, delegate rich and we have to remember that there isn't just pulling in all of this. they are actually getting delegates to be awarded at the convention

so they can actually become the nominee. what are you seeing with those numbers? >> yeah. >> we look at democratic primary sometimes and those are proportional. you look at republican primaries, the delegates in the two most delicate rich states, california and texas are either winner-take-all or winner take most. and what do we see here? again, just tremendous leads for donald trump up, look at the 69% to 29% in california, up at the 19% in texas. the fact is we have a gop is going gop race going on right now. but after tuesday, if this polling is anywhere near correct. we may still have a race. but the fact as it's one in which donald trump is running away with the republican nomination. >> all right, harry enten, great as always to have you walk us through it. thanks so much. >> thank you >> president trump's legal strategy for his multiple cases can be summed up really in one word, and that is delay. >> and after this week that strategy appears to be working. we're going to talk to john dean, the former white house counsel to richard nixon, up next
