initial steps to potentially take them for his failure to post a $454 million bond correspondent c.b. cotton has details tonight. good evening, c.b. >> good evening, bret it. appears the attorney general letitia james is gearing up for asset seizure if former president -- earlier this month. james formally registered in west chester county new york. home of to two of trumps property. the procedural step would allow james to secure a lean against properties there in the future. the new york attorney general's office has made a series of suggestions all the way for trump to come up with the bond including a sale of his assets or his real estate being held with the court. trump's lawyers pushed back telling the court in part, quote: it would be completely illogical and the definition of an unconstitutional excessive fine and a taking to require defendants to sell at all and

especially in a fire sale in order to be able to appeal the lawless supreme court judgment. but, unless an appeals court intervenes or trump posts a bond for the full amount, come monday, james can start draining trump's bank ants. the civil fraud case also just ordered the court appointed monitor, who now overseas the trump organization to be informed of any efforts toe secure this bond. this as trump's campaign makes an urgent push for donations asking donors to help stop the quote witch-hunt. now, trump has asked the appeals court to accept a smaller bond amount of $100 million or accept no bond at all. >> bret: c.b., thank you. president biden and cash flow. the president's re-election campaign is crowing about its monetary advantage over former president trump's organization while at the same time the biden campaign seems increasingly concerned about a number of new polls. white house correspondent peter doocy looks at the numbers

the uv light which i'm confident he does. bret? >> bret: peter, what is the attorney general saying about the special counsel robert hur's report critical of president biden's memory? >> it doesn't sound like he felt any pressure to change the report even though president biden's personal attorneys sent him a letter. strongly worded letter. asking the attorney general to intervene and remove references to president biden in that report before it went live. >> the idea that an attorney general would edit or redact or censor a special counsel's splaction explanation for why the special counsel reached the decision the special counsel did, that's absurd. >> peter: and that is likely going to add frustration among people in president biden's orbit who have been particularly frustrated that merrick garland has treated the biden documents

case so similarly to the way he treats the trump documents case. bret? >> bret: peter doocy le on the north lawn, peter, thanks. lawmakers have introduced a $1.2 trillion spending package to try to avoid a partial government shutdown for several key federal agencies this weekend. the bill comes nearly six months into the current budget year. it could allow congress to complete its work in funding the government through september. the house aims to vote tomorrow morning on the spending bill. we will speak with delaware democratic senator chris coons of the appropriations committee and other committees in just a few minutes. he is also the national co-chair of president biden's re-election campaign: wall street continued its record-breaking rally. although major indices had their highest ever closes. the dow surging to 269 today. the s&p 500 finished ahead 17. the nasdaq was up 32. the justice department is going after apple. it has ann announced a sweeping

spending battle. delaware democratic senator chris coons is national co-chair of the president's re-election campaign and is he in the middle of all of the back and forth up on capitol hill. senator, we heard from the speaker of the house. he is hinting there that they may speed things up to try to avoid at least somewhat of a partial shutdown. what does it look like in the senate if that happens? >> so folks i have talked to here both democrats and republicans in the senate are cautiously optimistic that speaker johnson will take up this bill and pass it friday morning, allowing his members, the house members in his caucus some time to read the bill. it is a significant bill. it's about 1.1 # trillion dollars or 70% of over overall annual budget and, bret, that's because the department of defense is one of the six bills that's up for us to pass. i think we have to avoid a government shutdown at all cost

it. sends a terrible signal globally for us to shut down the federal government. >> bret: it doesn't seem like voters or american citizens have a real view about what happens behind closed doors whether this stuff gets put together. >> the american people want and deserve transparency in how we conduct this annual appropriations process. but, you are right that it takes too long and it's quite a mess. >> bret: yeah. senator, i want to talk about a couple of quick foreign policy issues that are bubbling up now. obviously the israel-hamas situation with gaza and how the administration is dealing with that but, first, take a listen to florida governor ron desantis. this is about the haiti rescue efforts of american citizens there. >> it has been like pulling teeth to deal with some of these federal agencies. and the reality is, you have an easier time getting into this country illegally than you do just to be rescued as a united states citizen. how the hell does that make any sense? >> look, i disagree with the

governor that there has been no effort to rescue american citizens. many american citizens have been rescued out of haiti. we have been working for months and months to try and get multilateral stability mission approved, funded and deployed to haiti not using u.s. troops. >> bret: i'm going to point to the job performance numbers for president biden here. and they are upside down as far as israel-hamas 31% to 65% disapprove. for critics who look at the administration from an israeli point of view, have you heard of any other country that says this is how you have to conduct a war after they have been attacked? that's where the critics are coming from. >> well, look, we are in an unusual circumstance here. because israel is continuing to conduct combat operations against hamas, as they should, to protect their citizens

following the horrific october 7th attack and to try and secure the release of the hostages that have been held by hamas for 166 days. but they're operating in an environment where the neighbor to the south, egypt, refuses to allow any of the palestinians in gaza to move out of the way of the military operations by israel. what president biden has conveyed to the prime minister and what i have also said to prime minister netanyahu is before you go in to rafah, at scale with a ground offensive to finish the job against hamas, you must relocate innocent civilians, there is nearly a million of them because the civilian casualties in the operations and the rest of gaza have been very high. >> bret: yeah. there's a lot of concern about civilian casualties, no doubt about it. but i guess the critics would say that some of the change. so shift for the administration is coming from a political point of view and a concern about places like michigan and a

concern about the arab-americans and the progressives who have a real problem with this overall. and the thought about holding back possibly israeli funds based on what they are facing, that's a real question mark. >> i don't think this is something that's just become a concern because of a primary in michigan. this has been a concern from the very beginning. this is a thread that runs through every single conflict. our conduct in operations in iraq and afghanistan. our troops had to observe the rules of war and do their best to avoid civilian casualties in how they target and how they conducted their operations. that's part of how democracies that are based on the rule of law conduct themselves in war. >> bret: last thing. as the co-chair of the campaign, you look at those approval numbers i put up, upside down. you look at the swing state polpolls and where they're and i talked to you before how polls

are a snapshot of time and don't define the election. however, how do you characterize it quickly after the state of the union address, where do you think the campaign is at this moment? >> i think president biden gave a strong and a forceful and a clear state of the union address. where he laid out his objectives going forward. he made it clear he's optimistic that he believes in the american people that, our economy continues to grow, that he's going to continue to fight to keep us safe and secure overseas and he extended his hand to president trump and said let's work together to pass a bipartisan bill that would secure our southern border and allow us to continue to make progress on some of the challenging issues in front of us. >> bret: and you don't think that executive orders are coming down the pike on the immigration front? >> i know they have been considered but i continue to think that the best step for us to take is to take up and pass the bipartisan bill that was negotiated at great length here by republican senator lankford

and democratic senator murphy with senator sinema. i also think the house should take up and pass the supplemental that will fund ukraine, fund israel, and fund humanitarian aid. my hope is that speaker johnson will put that on the floor just after we clear these annual appropriations bills today or tomorrow. >> bret: all right. well, we will watch all of that, senator coons, as always, thanks for coming on "special report." >> thank you, bret. >> bret: up next, a big company leaves a small town in iowa high and dry. we'll take you there. and, later, florida prepares for a surge of haitian migrants. ♪ ♪ there are some things that work better together. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing. so you can feel confident in your financial choices voya, well planned, well invested, well protected.

[shouting] >> when you look at this video

it's pretty dramatic. >> i haven't seen the video. >> all right. thank you. >> there are border solutions that need to happen. we all agree republicans and democrats both agree that border solutions are important. >> the key thing is we actually have to reform immigration policy because the more legal pathways we have the last chaos we have at the border. >> bret: chaos at the border as you see that video is from the "new york post" that that's a section of the border where the wire, the razor wire has been ripped down and the guards there overwhelmed as some of them are pushed through. this is as there is new data out about 200,000 deportation cases were tossed due to dhs department of homeland security failure to file paperwork there are more and more of these border issues and it continues to be, obviously, a major political issue as well let's bring in our panel.

guy benson, francesca chamber and matthew continetti, fellow at the american enterprise institute. guy, every day we see something, some element of the immigration story that's different. this one, as you look more into that video, it is pretty dramatic as they rush through the border past those guards. >> it is. and you just cited that statistic about the 200,000 cases tossed because of what appears to be negligence from the biden administration. that is a bad headline for them. and this video, i think, is more impactful even than some of those drone shots that we have gotten from bill melugin and his team and griff jenkins, and they have done great work down there with huge numbers of people just walking and wading across the river. this one, i think, will probably anger people more because you have roughly 100, let's say dozens of people who clearly do not have a right to be in this country, bull rushing actual american officials. texas officials as it turns out being sued by the biden

administration, a separate question. but u.s. officials or americans saying you can't come in here right against the border. and those people having no regard for that authority. and pushing past them. shoving them aside and demanding to enter this country in a way that they don't have a right to do. i think many americans will look at that video and having something of a visceral reaction which is why i suspect the biden team is keeping a careful eye on this one because the optics, which they care about so much are terrible for them, worse than usual here. >> yeah. francesca, i know this is the first time you have seen the video, but the issue, obviously, is front and center. and the president has traveled out west. a lot of his speeches dealt with latino voters this time. but, if you look at the issue of immigration, and the latest fox polls that track with other polls, 66% of voters disapprove of biden's handling of immigration. and i asked senator coons about this and the numbers being upside down on all of these

issues, economy, inflation, israel, hamas, but immigration probably the most significant. they're right now hanging their hat on that bipartisan bill and we say bipartisan. it never really passed. is that going to float them through this issue? >> well, that's exactly what they are trying to do, bret. they are saying the president endorsed a piece of legislation that couldn't get through the house of representatives so this is now up to congress to pass some sort of a bill relating to this. and this was part of the national security spending bill with the israeli and ukraine aid. we heard earlier this week from lindsey graham saying he still hopes there is some sort of border security bill that would pass alongside that that is potentially something that could happen in the future, but it's just not something that lawmakers have been able to come to any sort of an agreement on so far. and not something that seems like it's likely to happen in the near term. >> bret: yeah, and, matthew, i mean, just last thing on this,

we talk around this in circles all the things the president could do today, tomorrow, the next day, that he is not doing. and then that video, obviously, exacerbates that situation. >> you look at that video and you see a disaster by design. the direct consequence of biden administration policies now entering their fourth year, bret. i think donald trump has been asking americans this week quite prominently are you better off today than you were four years ago. when you look at this footage you see on the issue of immigration america is much less secure than it was under donald trump. the flow of migrants to the southern border is much greater under this president than under his predecessor. so i think that's why it's a winning issue for trump just as the rise in prices and the general sense of things being out of control helping him lead biden in the polls. >> bret: speaking of former president, guy, is he in a bit of a bind trying to come up $454 million bond in new york

"newsweek," the president, joking about donald trump's debt problems saying speaking of the campaign fundraiser in class, texas. he joked a man come up to him discuss heavy debts this other day the defeated looking man said mr. president, i need your help, i'm in crushing debt. i'm completely wiped out. biden said he then responded donald, i'm sorry, i can't help you. i wonder how that plays? here is former president trump's attorney alina habba about forcing him to sell these properties to make this bond. forcing him to sell prized company such as trump tower iconic properties like 40 wreath to pursue his appeal is manifest in justice it. deprives him of that due process we are all entitled. to say imagine, you can't reverse selling off trump tower on a fire sale at a discounted price. we can't fix that if we win on appeal. so it's complete injustice.

>> bret: and, as you look at these properties, the trump new york properties, they are iconic. guy, the thought that the attorney general is going to move on these properties, to take them in response to not making this bond, in order to post for an appeal, how does that play? >> >> i think it would raise evening more eyebrows, people who aren't big trump fans view that judgment as punitive. they have watched letitia james taunting on social media about the debt that's been incurred and the interest that's racking up and then if she moves in, basically try to claim the deed one to of these giant buildings, i think it would play very well within the resistance crowd. among other americans i'm not as sure. and as for the joke from president biden, i mean, his whole standard that he set for himself was to float above the lawfare or at least plausibly do so for his own re-election services and, of course, he is the president, right? but for him to make that joke, again, will get applause and

laughs in certain quarters whether it's viewed as spiking the football and really revelling in something that appears political to many americans, that's a different question and potentially risky, actually, for biden in some ways. >> yeah, francesca, they are crowing about the campaign cash on hand. the biden campaign stands at about $71 million currently to the trump campaign at $33.5 million. but, this issue specifically of all these legal cases and how he is commenting on that is just interesting to see how independents and particularly suburban women will respond to that. >> well, and it was a one-off comment when you look at the cash on hand, which is what they are touristing today. you know, you look at where trump was and his cash on hand a month ago, he barely improved his position, meanwhile the biden campaign and the democratic national committee even as they are spending big in this election keep racking up their cash on hand to be able to spend into the general -- in the

general election, so they're just decidedly in a better position financially, which is then allowed biden to do things like spend $30 million on advertising as trump does have to pay into legal fees and the rnc and the dnc they are paying for other things besides the presidential election. they are paying for down ballot races, too. that's why those numbers are significant why the trump campaign is definitely want to hustle to get some cash. >> bret: quickly, matthew marist poll is matching other polls in these swing states, you have got trump holding a lead in north carolina 51-48. the presidential race there you look at georgia and the new marist poll 51-47. so as the campaign cash goes up, as the travel goes up for the president, these poll numbers are not going up and the approval numbers are still upside down. >> the polls show that money is overrated in politics, bret, trump has been spent in election after election and he won in 2016 despite being outspent.

biden is spending all this money. trump's numbers are staying the same and biden's numbers aren't improving and some cases they are sinking. the joke isn't on trump. the joke is on biden. >> bret: okay. we'll see how it plays. panel, thanks so much. up next, a special day for a world war ii ghost army. we'll explain that, next. ♪ jen x. jen y. and jen z. each planning their future through the chase mobile app. jen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from j.p. morgan wealth plan. let's go whiskers. jen y is working with a banker to budget for her birthday. you only turn 30 once. and jen z? her credit's golden. hello new apartment. three jens getting ahead with chase. solutions that grow with you. one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours.
