4:00 pm
i 30 day fit guarantee at honey love.com. >> i'll rafael romo, the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this cnn there's always more to the story beneath the surface. >> cnn's original series, how it really happened with jesse l. martin returns to cnn with a special to our premiere on the titanic. its tonight at nine eastern and pacific. and new today after a highly decorated career, one of the all-time greats and women's basketball is hanging up or sneakers. candace parker's that she's retiring from the wnba after 16 seasons. and she has racked up quite the list of accomplishments during that time, three championships with three different teams two mvp awards, and two olympic gold medals. she recently became a commentator and analysts with our sister company tnt, part of warner brothers discovery you
4:01 pm
are in the cia >> in a newsroom. hi everyone. i'm jessica dean in washington and tonight, breaking news, the white house saying president biden held a phone call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier today that call coming just days after the president signed in aid package that includes $26 for israel. and as biden faces increased pressure to end the war four, amid massive protests at college campuses across the country. cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us now from the white house with more details on this. priscilla, you have new reporting on what this call really focused on. >> you've just got according to a source familiar with the call, this was primarily focused on a hostage deal fact, 75% of the conversation was about a hostage deal. this is something that the white house has been focused on that us officials have seen as a priority of theirs and trying to get these hostages released. well i'll also trying to reach an agreement on a temporary ceasefire that would allow
4:02 pm
again, for that relate those releases of hostages as well as for more humanitarian aid to get into gaza. this source saying that the conversation was constructed, lasting only just under an hour. and of course, this also comes as secretary of state, antony blinken is headed to the middle east where he is expected to also engage in discussions about the hostage deal, as well as humanitarian aid into gaza. but this wasn't the only issue that the two leaders discussed. they also talked about a airstrikes against israel and israel's airstrikes back at iran. that was something that occurred earlier in the month and that the white house had been israel had been quite tight, tight-lipped about but they also talked about rafah and other top concern for this white house. that is a potential operation that israel has said that they would engage in in rafah, an area that has over 1 million palestinians displays the white house position up until this point has been that an operation at this point is untenable, just given how many civilians are in
4:03 pm
that region. and according to a white house readout, it said, quote, the leaders discussed rafah and the president reiterated his clear position. so this clearly coming up, but the source telling me that while they did talk about rafah, a lot of the focus here was on this hostage deal because of course, this year us really wants to see a brief through here. they want to reach this agreement so that they can get the release of those hostages. and i should also mention that in this conversation about this, they also discussed the videos of american hostages so this was all part of this conversation. now what happens from here on clear will be watching for that. but again, the focus of today's call between the two litres really on this deal. and again, whether we will see a breakthrough unclear. >> all right. priscilla alvarez from the white house tonight. thanks so much for that reporting. let's get some more insight now from aaron david miller. he's the former state department middle east negotiator. great to have you thanks for being here. sure we have seen the president and make these kinds of calls
4:04 pm
several times since october 7. how effective are they and actually shifting policy, shifting israel's policy? >> negotiations succeed when both parties feel a certain amount of urgency in right now, it strikes me physically the way to the presence phone call that the party that feels the most urgency right now it's neither hamas. >> i believe, actually uses time tunnels and hostages to bargain for a much better deal on the government of israel, which left anyhow, grubber, which know is if they exchange hostages, you're going to end up with an asymmetrical number of palestinian, some with blood on their hands accused or oh, actually convicted of killing israelis. the biden administration is in a hurry because they're in a strategic cul-de-sac. without an agreement between israel and hamas, you cannot even hope to, on any sustained basis surge humanitarian assistance into gaza that we know hostages freed and no de-escalation israeli military activity.
4:05 pm
>> i think it's really hard just a girl right now. >> unless you're literally involved and i would watch if i had to predict anything, i'd watch for the travel of cia director bill burns effect headed for the middle east. i think the odds that this round might produce some something go up here saying if he travels to the middle east, that's what then it goes up it's what i think. >> but again, you know, you doing the curious negotiation, right? they key decision-maker of hamas sayyed, yeah, sinwar is in scott somewhere in a tunnel under khan yunis are rough how they're communicating with him, if you're always are please looking for him, but six months later, more than six months, israelis have not identified where the senior leadership or the vast majority of hostages are looking i'm curious to just with your background, what should we make of the videos that we've seen now of some of these israeli-american hostage yes, that frankly, we weren't
4:06 pm
sure about their status and we've seen these videos released. >> what what do you think that's what's the message there are maybe improve hamas's images that even possible given the fact that the sausages have been abused and the 130 that remained is really believed that 30 we're either killed on october 7, their bodies brought to gaza to trade or they died in captivity. >> i think that hamas understands only too well, yeah, he's saying wire was in jail for 20 years. he was part of an easter metrical hostage traded 20, 11,079 palestinians for one is corporal. he knows how much value the israeli public and governments, israeli government's attached to the redemption of their own citizens dead or alive from the battlefield. >> so i think it's psychological pressure, accrual as it may be but the fact that these videos have been released maybe just maybe it could point to in the direction that there
4:07 pm
might be some space here for limited exchange of hostages for palestinian prisoners. and a ceasefire yeah. we learned today that the secretary of state, antony blinken is gonna go back to israel this week. they're trying to get those, those talks moving again what? >> does that say you obviously we're not at bill burns at the cia director going just yet, but what do you think this, this this round has any better chance than any of the other rounds. >> he's really i'm just guessing here and nobody ever lost money betting against success in arab-israeli negotiations. having done this for over 20 years, i can say that with great at 40, it may be though, back to the urgency theme that, both israel and hamas now are under a bit more pressure and i don't want to leave myself. are you hopeless? i think it may well be that this round creates enough space for limited de, certainly hope so.
4:08 pm
>> i will, we will wait and see aaron david miller. we always appreciate your contexts in your analysis. thanks so much. >> thank you jessica protests against israel's war on gaza, or rocking college campuses across the country. today, police arrested hundreds of protesters yesterday, with some universities calling in police to clear the protesters and their encampments. camila bernal has been on the scene at ucla campus today. an kamila, after a kind of a quiet day yesterday, you've been reporting on just how active it's been there today. what have you been seeing yeah, and how, different it was from yesterday because today we did see a lot of violence, a lot of altercations, a lot of passion on both sides of this issue, and eventually they were cleared by police. >> that's why it's so quiet right now, but i do want to show you behind this plywood is where the encampment is. so the students that were actually in the encampment, they stay there throughout the whole day during all of these protests. and it
4:09 pm
was the security guards that you see here. they were the ones that we're trying to keep the space between the protesters, the people in the encampment. and i think the problem that the university had throughout the day was trying to keep the protesters separate because you had the pro-palestinian protesters and then you had the people that we're here to support the jewish students on campus. and it was when they came together that you saw a lot of those clashes and you saw that passion. and i personally saw many people get pushed and shoved and there were a lot of arguments. it was something that you knew that people were not going to come to agreement, but they continue to scream at each other and push each other. and it was absolutely violent at times, i want you to take a listen to what some of the students and the people who are here told me about where they stand we've seen it historically that when the students decide to unite, that the people will rally behind them. >> so this is no surprise to
4:10 pm
me. i know that the american public is not okay with their own tax-paying dollars going to fund israel, and they're also not okay with students pay thank tuition in their money going to fund israel set of funding. their investments. here. as students, we were pepper sprayed, we were pepper sprayed and they also through stink bombs at us it was disgusting. somebody stole my sign they really, really believe in intimidating and we're trying to say cussing at us saying terrible things. i believe in protest. >> i do. >> but but not like this not like this and right now you are seeing just a very small group of people here behind me, behind these metal barriers. >> they want to be in this area. but again, campus security, just not allowing them the police did not get involved throughout the day. what we saw was the security guards essentially creating a barrier between the protesters and campus police that was at the end of the day when the protests were essentially coming to an end and the campus
4:11 pm
police decided that it was time for it to be over. then they started pushing those protesters out of campus and we did not see a lot of violence when it came with that interaction with police officers, no one on campus has been arrested and again, now, things are just a lot quieter, but it was a very active de with people, just extremely passionate on both sides of this issue. >> jessica, mail-in, burn all on the campus of ucla in los angeles. thanks so much for that reporting arizona. >> now, the fourth state to charge former president trump's allies, including rudy giuliani and mark meadows those with allegedly trying to overturn the state's 2020 election results are these new indictments could impact our elections moving forward the rise of misinformation. >> donie o'sullivan reports from the front lines. >> farah knows taylor swift as a government site you don't believe taylor swift is i

4:17 pm
allegedly involved in these fake elector schemes. >> do you think this is going to be enough to deter others as we head into 2024. but by itself, it's probably not enough to deter any potential negative activity, any potential activity to subvert a valid election that's been certified over and over and over again. we should remember that when this was happening in mid-december of 2020, the election had been challenged literally over 60 times across the country by present former president trump, then president trump. and every single time those challenges had failed, there is no evidence at that time in december of 2020 that there was anything that would cause us to doubt the outcome of the election. and as we sit here three-and-a-half years later we still are at the same point. they're still not been a shred of evidence produced to any court anywhere in the country. there was any problems or fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election and so when those
4:18 pm
electors sat, those fake electors sat and its war that they were the duly certified electors they were committing an alleged fraud on the united states and the voters of the state of arizona and three other states that have charged fake electors as well. so hopefully, this will cause people to think twice before they put their potential freedom at risk. by swearing something that they know isn't true at the time, and they cannot prove yeah, that's false what what's notable about these indictments? >> arizona, michigan, georgia, those are all critical swing states, right? the outcome of the election in those states means a lot that's not a coincidence, is it no, of course not. >> i mean, these were states that the losing presidential candidate, then president trump, lost. and so he only challenged those states each michigan was the state that then president trump had lost by 154,000 votes. that's a lot of votes. there were a lot of
4:19 pm
states that were closer in that, but there were other states like north carolina, that word by less than half that amount of votes, about 75,000 votes in north carolina. the differences that foreign president trump won that state. so of course there were no challenges or false electors coming out in north carolina. this is just about the outcome of the election and someone who is so so desperate to hold onto power that he was willing to do anything and his supporters who were willing to go along with it, as we heard in the immunity case, is just this past week in the supreme court. the president is alleging he's immune, but one of the challenges he faces is all of the people that he needs to support him to potentially put their own freedom at risk and commit crimes so that he can stay in office. they are not immune and so it's really important for everyone to recognize no matter which candidate you support, if you attempt to subvert and election regardless of who you're working for, you may very well find yourself going to jail and we are now we have the present and the presumed not when he's
4:20 pm
for each party, but the primary season is still playing out. >> people have been voting now over the last several months what have you seen? and is there any evidence that the crackdown by prosecutors is having an effect? we haven't seen at least at this point, anybody saying, oh, the election results in ics state weren't correct or anything like that right? >> i mean, it will turn out it's been fairly low in the primary especially given the fact that as you mentioned, jessica, we are reared a point right now where the nominees are largely set. so a lot of people were interested in voting in the presidential primaries, know that it's unlikely to change things as we head into the november general election. but we should also note that there's a variety of people out there who are paying the price for the efforts to subvert the 2020 election, whether it's losing their law licenses, whether it's people like rudy giuliani, who is also had his law license suspended, but has also been held liable for defamation. there's a propaganda the site that just
4:21 pm
last week declared bankruptcy because it had spread lies about poll workers in georgia. these do have effects and i think what we're going to see, hopefully is that people who might otherwise be inclined to do anything to support their candidate, even subvert and election they might think twice we live in a democracy it's very narrowly divided. and so none of us should be surprised if our candidate loses. but to go that extra step and seek to subvert and election that voters have clearly spoken and that have been certified. that is a step that probably violates the law and could put your freedom at risk. >> yeah. no doubt about it. david becker. thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you federal regulators are increasing their testing and tracking for bird flu in dairy cows after finding traces of the virus in one fifth of our country's milk supply what this says about the spread of the virus and what the fda says you don't have to worry this

4:27 pm
bird flu virus and roughly 20% of retail milk samples they tested. it's now issuing a federal order to require more testing and reporting of the bird flu in dairy cows now scientists say it's not an immediate threat to humans. >> you don't have to throw your milk out. what it is troubling to find the virus so widespread in dairy cows, dr. richard webby from st. jude's children's research hospital is joining us now. >> dr. webby, thanks for being with us. this does sound scary and kind of icky can we even get bird flu from drinking the milk? and it doesn't sound like it. and why is it not a threat to humans? >> yes. i agree. it sounds like he and some are speaks. it's actually expected. so on some of these infected calvert's is that there's a lot of virus in the milk. and so what we're seeing in the supermarket shelves is not actually the virus itself, but raymond to that virus that up been destroyed through the pasteurization process. so as such, drinking the supermarket
4:28 pm
milk right now is now everything has been tasted, has come up the way where we would like it and no virus and they're all which is of course a good thing that it's safe. yes exactly. i want to underscore that two people at this point, even though this is what they're finding, help us understand what regulators are hoping to find out. they say they want to do further testing increased testing. what are they trying to find out here i think this a number of questions unresolved about this entire outbreak because this is actually a bird virus, so it shouldn't be in cows in the first place. >> so lots of people are trying to understand where this farces both and cows, where it is, and the food chain in terms of the milk again, just i guess putting the stake on the corner, just prove that there is no live virus in these commercial milk that people buying at the supermarket and again, the only thing that's on there is traces of the virus that have been killed. so that's quite aware of people had hated and turn it trying to
4:29 pm
find out a little bit about this far. so again, i think the more we can understand, the more chances we have of stopping it. >> sure. and it's interesting, you were saying that the bird flu is being found in cow's. it kind of begs the question, can you find it in other animals also maybe? >> yes. as i said, this is it's really a bird virus. >> but over the past couple of years since it's been sort of app out of the world here on the americans. it's been trying out to these other hosts, so it's spilled over from wild birds. and two other mammal hosts. a lot of them scavenging host. you can think like a fox or a scan goon. or they might across an infected bird and have a champ. also see mammals has been some large die off of sea mammals, particularly in parts of south america as well. so this introduction into cows is really just the next stage. really the spring of a pretty worrying virus. >> and so just finally, i think i want to underscore for everyone watching. what would
4:30 pm
you say to anyone who is nervous about drinking milk? it sounds like based on what you were saying, it's been tested, it's okay. these are just remnants of this virus, but, what would you say to anyone out there who's, who's nervous? >> yeah, that's exactly right. what would find in the milk is not the virus, but parts of it. >> now, i have a jagged but at home that i know has really matter i'm still using it i haven't told my daughter that she had so that i get the one thing perhaps we should note that the one maybe risk activity is unpasteurized milk, which of course the other is a percentage of the population that drinks right now, that's probably not a very good idea okay, good note there, dr. richard webby. thanks so much for spelling it out for us. we appreciate it. >> republicans have ambitions of winning a bigger majority in congress. this november, but in fighting among those already in office, but stymie those plans fans, especially with house

4:36 pm
head-to-head match? again, that's a national poll. there. when it comes to major issues like the economy, biden's approval rating with registered voters is largely negative. and the numbers are worse among us adults when asked about how the president has handled the israel war so we're getting some data points they're meantime, the house is back in session tomorrow on monday and republican house speaker mike johnson is facing an uphill battle as he returns to work with that very, very slim majority. >> and the threat hanging over his head of potentially losing his job over that $95 billion foreign aid package that he helped pass earlier this month with wide bipartisan support. >> the threat coming from republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, who says johnson betrayed voters a vote to oust him, could throw the house back into chaos in the middle of a pivotal election year and joining us now is congressional reporter for the hill, michael chanel. michael great to have you here with us. just forced first, they're coming back tomorrow.
4:37 pm
this this threat that greene has to vacate the speaker has been looming over his head. how likely do you think this is well, it's still looming just to be sure, congresswoman green not relented on this threat to bring emotion vacate last weekend saying that speaker mike johnson has to resign. >> if not, he's going to face this vacate vote. but the key question is when and if, regardless of her saying this, we still don't have answers to that. jessica, i mean, khartoum agreement. she has been asked time and time again, when do you plan to actually force a vote on this resolution, which would set in motion this potential ouster johnson, she has deflected every single time saying that she wants to provide more time, give time for her colleagues to talk about a potential successor. she doesn't want to of have a rushed process like she says, happened in october most recently, she said she wanted her colleagues to go home and speak to constituents after voting for that foreign aid package. so that's of course going to be this same question we asked congresswoman green tomorrow. when is this going to happen? when are you going to force a vote on this? because that is the key question when we can get this, this, this process in motion, right?
4:38 pm
>> and just to remind everybody, just like how we got here for a second, it's when kevin mccarthy was trying to win multiple rounds to be speaker that he lowered the threshold, right? just one member. >> and that's that's how we end up here. >> actions consequences ever seen them play out during an interview this morning, democratic congressman jared moskowitz suggested that some democrats might be interested in helping the speaker out he was essentially saying not because they want to help him so much, but because of their distaste for marjorie taylor greene, we have a clip of that the idea of allowing marjorie taylor greene, someone who literally would let the world burn with our isolation as foreign policy who has talked about states to from the union, right the idea of letting her sit in the people's house in the well of congress, giving a speech, removing any speaker and having that powerful moment, there was just no way democrats are going to let her do that. i'm not going to let her do that. we won't even let her name a post office. we're not going to let for we're not
4:39 pm
going to let her take out the speaker michael, i don't tell you this, but other democrats have have also said, essentially, we don't want to punish my johnson for what doing what they consider to be the right thing. what is the likelihood and what are you hearing about democrats potentially stepping in here if that vote comes up? yeah, very likely it's not just congresswoman moscowitz. it's a wide variety of democrats, more liberal ones, more moderate ones. we're hearing them say that they would likely step in to save mike johnson. and this is sort of multifaceted, right? there are a few layers to this. a devil immigrants don't want to be seen supporting congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, who sort of a democratic boogeyman, somebody who they of course criticized on a number of occasions be a lot of this will hinge on what mike johnson did with ukraine aid. and with that foreign aid package and after months of deflecting and pushing this off, a lot of delays, he ultimately put that foreign aid package on the floor concluded roughly 61 million billion dollars in ukraine aid. and it passed and president biden signed it and that aid is now going overseas. so a lot of democrats are thinking now,
4:40 pm
we'll look mike johnson did the right thing despite the loud cries of opposition from members of his conference, he decided to put this aid package on the floor. it passed. so for that reason, he doesn't deserve to be ousted. that's another reason. >> and then third, there was the three weeks of paralysis and chaos back in october when democrats banded with those eight republicans to oust former speaker kevin mccarthy, a lot of democrats don't have an appetite to go down that road again. >> so for all of those factors it's. looking likely that if greene does bring this to the floor, democrats would likely vote to table the motion to vacate. not exactly voting in support of him, but voting to push it to the side and that would essentially be that would be that just before we let you go, just the thought to that. it's all happening in this election year. >> and you see the former president, donald trump, pc, my job johnson going down to see him, him coming out, not he's also very close. >> the former present with marjorie taylor greene, but but also kind of giving my johnson a little bit of cover there as well. how does this have broader implications on
4:41 pm
republicans hopes, especially in the house in the fall? >> well republicans don't want to be seen as the chaos conference, right? which is something that democrats have called them on a number of occasions. they want to be seen as they were given the majority back in 2022. they want to go back to voters and say, you gave it to us for a good reason, we got a, b, and c accomplished when they have this chaos and golfing the conference at every turn, it doesn't help and a lot of conservatives are realizing that because congressman green has said that she's going to bring this motion to vacate. she has support from just to other conservatives right now, a number of other, these hardliners are saying that they're not going to support this if it comes to the floor, a large reason why is because of that election, that's around the corner. congressman chip roy, who has been one of the most critical of johnson at this current juncture when he talked about ukraine aid was on the radio just in recent days saying he's not happy with mike johnson's leadership, but folks are too close to the election year. and this is just not the time to do it. congressman bob good, the chairman of the conservative house freedom caucus, who voted to oust mccarthy back in october, saying the same thing. this isn't the time. so a lot
4:42 pm
of these conservatives were thinking, they don't want to be showing the country that they're full of this chaos. so close to an election year. so look built by their tongue, they understand that they're not going to win every battle. they'll finish up the earth. mike johnson, the real question is, if republicans are able to retain the majority, or even if they're in the minority, will mike johnson be the top republican come next year? i think that's gonna be the next battle for house up for sure. >> a lot to come on that. all right. thanks so much. michael schnell, we're glad to have you here. you can shade it. >> last night in washington journalists, politicians and celebrities gathered for the annual tradition that is the white house correspondents dinner to celebrate the importance of the free press. president biden was front and center as most us presidents have been for decades, no one was off-limits for saturday night live comedian colin jost before i begin tonight, can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the united states and an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying, all rise publican candidate for president, owes half 1 billion in fines for
