vacuum will be created and either russia or china or both to authority. tour in states will step in and over time tried to break down on the international rules, order and norms and install their own values. and that's not the world we want to live in so now, is a moment for leadership and i think we have to step up in both cases in all cases, actually ukraine, the middle east, and then taiwan and support our friends and allies. and do the right thing and stop with this. with this type of the talk it's inconsistent, not just with president reagan, but with really the history of the gop. and frankly us foreign policy. now going back, at least since the end of world war ii, and the house speaker mike johnson has said, he is now ready to do the right thing, even if it cost him his job. and you can watch the rest of our conversation at all. my interviews that amanpour.com plus, you can find all our shows online as podcast at cnn.com slash podcast& on all other major platforms. i'm
9:01 am
christiana one poor in london. thank you for watching and i'll see you again next week. >> hello everyone and thank you so much for joining me in this saturday. i'm fredricka whitfield. all right. happening right now, the house of representatives is in session for a rare high saturday your vote live pictures right now. right now lawmakers are debating military aid bills for ukraine, israel, and taiwan totaling $95 billion gop hardliners are pushing hard against more ukraine aid, but supporters, both republican and democrat insist the aid packages are critical. for now michelle and global security was on fire from putin's full-scale invasion of ukraine to chairman sheath threatening taiwan and the pacific to the ayatollah rearing his ugly
9:02 am
head, invading israel through his proxies the eyes of the world are upon us and history will judge us by what we do here. and now today with the vote on ukraine security aide we rededicate ourselves to who we are we meet today under the white dome above us. >> a universal symbol of freedom. and freedom loving people everywhere today, we cannot disappoint those who seek what we have in two years, we'll celebrate the 250 and the reverse of this country this, freedom, this democracy, which would not have happened without money from the netherlands, money from france, guns from france, naibe from france allies stood at the side of the birth of this nation, the birth of freedom was born here so today we come to this
9:03 am
house floor to say that freedom has fought for here in this house in the next hour, lawmakers are expected to begin voting on the three long-awaited funding bills and to sweeten the deal for house republicans. >> a fourth bill contains sanctions for iran, a seizure of frozen russian assets, plus a potential nationwide tiktok ban gop house speaker mike johnson was able to push the bipartisan bills through congress this week with the help of democrats. it's a move that could cost him his job as some hardliners in his party have threatened to interest produce a measure to terminate his leadership. we have a team of correspondents covering the developments for us, priscilla alvarez is there in washington. let's begin with manu raju on capitol hill. manu, i mean, set the stage for us. what's going on right now. how do we expect this to play out? >> yeah, hugely significant moment in fact, right now, house democrats are meeting in the room behind me because they are central to what's happening
9:04 am
here on the house floor. they're the ones who are going to supply the key votes to get this package over the fill-in finish line. essentially salvage this bill after republican divisions could have sculptor this on the first proceeding funeral vote yesterday, yesterday, you saw a significant number of house democrats essentially advanced this measure to the house floor amid these republican division, there are of those. ukraine supporters within the house democratic caucus, of course, who are applauding mike johnson's efforts. but there are significant divisions among those on the far right, numbers of the house freedom caucus, people don't want to spend dying more money for ukraine and on top of that, the decision by the speaker not to include new border security provisions as part of this package has caused a revolt on the right with some threatening to move forward and to see because ouster& talking to republicans is very clear, there are bitter feelings, ill & a large part in the aftermath of the historic ouster of kevin mccarthy last fall. and those those back bitter feelings are still lingering in the car and the conference was well, good came of getting rid of kevin
9:05 am
mccarthy. >> well, i think one of the best things that came mengniu is a precedent has been set. you can't just do whatever the hell you want, regardless of what the voters that sent us here, what they want, what they demand, and what they deserve. >> it's time for these people two start trying to legislate and stop trying to be popular. okay. so we have to make hard decisions that when your decision is solely based on whether or not someone's going to talk bad about john social media, you're not thinking right so right now there are three republicans who are supporting the effort to oust mike johnson from the speakership that marjorie taylor greene is leading the efforts you've got the support of thomas massie and paul gosar. those are two other conservative, very conservative members of the conference. others have gone right up to the line and suggested they would be open to it. but if this does go forward, that would mean democrats will be
9:06 am
essential here to essentially scuttling this effort on the first procedural move and saving mike johnson's job. will they do that? there are several of them who said that they absolutely will, but the democratic leadership has yet to take a position on this. yeah, that's one of the the questions here that they may have to grapple with whether what marjorie taylor greene decides to do also uncertain. our colleague ali main, just ask green outside the house floor whether or not today was the day to try to force that vote seeking his ouster. of course, you can call for that vote. it would happen within two legislative days. she declined to comment on her plans, so still a question about how she points to proceed okay. >> and then manu, f, are the vote goes through today or any number of these, then how quickly with us senate act it's still a bit uncertain now, chuck schumer, the senate majority leader, did indicate that there have been ongoing discussions to try to get this done quickly. >> he said there's a tentative agreement. in fact, to take this up by early next week, there's an expectation potentially, this could be cleared in the united states senate on tuesday, and that
9:07 am
would cap the end of what's been months and months of battling mostly among republicans about how to proceed on this issue. and after two months after the senate passed a bipartisan plan that collected dust for about two months until mike johnson made his own moves but ultimately, this proposal that looks expected to land on the president has not too different from that plan that passed the senate about two months ago. >> all right. manu raju, we'll check back with you. i know you're keeping an eye on a lot of activity. people coming and going there, lie to do some of you're great reporting. thanks so much. priscilla alvarez, also in washington now, priscilla, the president has been waiting for this day for a long time to try and get money approved especially for ukraine. how is the white house responding as they wait probably on the edge of their seat, whether indeed it is going to pass through well, president biden has thrown his support behind these national security bells and to your point, fredreka, the president, asked for these funds last year. they have desperately wanted to see them get past and
9:08 am
the white house has maintained over the course of all this time that it is urgent and necessary for ukraine oftentimes, when president biden you come out to talk about the necessity of these funds for ukraine as well as other national security priorities he would frame it as a national security priority, noting that they cannot see any ground to russia. and in an op-ed this week in the wall street journal, president biden called it a pivotal moment in a statement yesterday from the white house office of management and budget. they echo that saying, quote, passing this legislation would send a powerful message about the strength of american leadership at a pivotal moment, the administrative and urges both chambers of the congress to quickly send this supplemental funding package to the president's desk now it's important there that they note the strength of american leadership because over the last several months, what we've also seen is a recurring topic of discussion in the president's conversations with world leaders in which he has a firm that the us will stand by
9:09 am
ukraine, but that has been a difficult argument to make when these funds are stalled in congress. now, we should also note that us officials say the stakes are high. in fact, this week, say a director burns said that ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year if they don't get these funds. so all attention on the house floor today. all right. and we'll be watching as well. thank you so much. priscilla alvarez and manu raju all right. i don't forget. you can catch manu tomorrow morning on inside politics at 8:00 a.m. eastern right here on cnn. let's talk further on all that's taking place we're about to take place on capitol hill with us right now. steph kight, she's a political reported for axios and daniel lipman is a white house reporter for politico. great to see both of you. steph, you first, i mean these aid packages have bipartisan support, which is a real rarity these days in congress, how significant is it for speaker johnson to push these? bills through even with the risk of his own job on the line mean
9:10 am
there is huge pressure on johnson to finally get this done. >> there has been growing pressure on him to act on despite these bipartisan bills for a long time. now, we know that in the senate, mitch mcconnell, republican leader there there has been pushing, putting pressure on johnson to move on this knowing that despite there being a real divide within republican party, that there is still significant support for continuing to provide needed aid to our allies in ukraine, as well as israel, the indo-pacific et cetera. this is a huge moment for johnson and of course it comes with enormous risk, especially facing a motion to vacate and we'll see whether argued taylor greene actually makes good on her threats. there and we'll know very shortly whether she does. >> okay. and steph, we're gonna take a pause a moment. let's listen to steny hoyer and what he has to say will remain loud and clear for all to hear okay, well, i can rewrite some of
9:11 am
that in order here. >> the totality of what the representative was saying. so daniel, for you for months, present, biden has been urging congress to pass this military aid bill for ukraine. if it does indeed go through how big of a when is this for him? what does this tell him also about the days ahead and working with members on both sides most vote. most voters don't vote based on foreign policy. it might be a change this year because of how salient gaza is. but this gets him back in a position to show the ukrainians that we're not going to abandon them for speaker johnson. it also secures his legacy a little bit on this issue. he was worried about how history was going to view him if he had let down ukraine and we had heard that ukraine could have fallen by the end of the year without this money they've been out of ammunition. and he does not want that on his watch but daniel, what's your opinion as to what change because speaker
9:12 am
johnson wasn't always onboard with more money for ukraine, but in recent weeks, we're seeing, you know, he's had a change of heart or at least his emphasis has now turned toward assistance. >> what do you suppose changed? >> there has been a huge pressure campaign in terms of former generals of the us and also the ukrainians and europeans telling johnson, this is very important and also we haven't seen opposition from trump to this package. he has stayed neutral. and so if he had come out swinging against this then that would have tanked it but she even said the other day, hey, europeans are not helping ukraine enough either.& so i think johnson also, if trump gets reelected in november his negotiating position to have a good deal with the russians would be much stronger if this package comes through in the next few hours and stuff if this package just go through in the next few
9:13 am
hours, what do you suppose this means for speaker johnson, does this him bolden him on his power or persuasiveness to get things done or does this put him back on his heels trying to save his job when greater popularity among those republicans who have been more than reluctant about this and actually think about that question. let's us and now to rep. debbie wasserman schultz of florida you walk into the festival, sayyed nc, hundreds of memorial city innocent victims who were murdered in cold blood and kibbutz kfar aza, we saw homes riddled with bullet, bullet holes and burned to the ground with people still in them this is what is real is up against. this is what israel must defend against maniacal terrorism dedicated to the destruction of not just a state of israel, but of all jews. israel fights not only to destroy hamas is around back military capabilities, but to send a clear message to our adversaries who seek to erase the jewish state. you will not be successful. president biden
9:14 am
leader jeffries and democrats have fought from months to send this critical security assistance, as well as life-saving humanity terry, an aid for the palestinian people who are also victims of hamas, a vote against this bill is a vote to deny that aid. i am proud to support this vital effort to help israel in this existential ballot battle. an aid civilians, and i urge my colleagues to join me to free gaza from hamas i'm it's real high i yield back the balance of my time gentleman yields. gentleman is recognized are yield to the gentleman. all right. daniel i wonder if you could address what i was talking about with the house speaker johnson, and if this does go through, what does this mean for his demeanor? for his posturing, his power well, he's had a tough time in terms of learning the ropes. >> this was someone who most americans had not even heard of when he was elected speaker after that long battle. and so there's a lot of doubts about
9:15 am
whether he be able to keep this tiny majority in november and so i think this gives some some muscles where he can actually enact some of his agenda. he doesn't have that much because you have a senate controlled by democrats. but this secures some of his power because he doesn't look week where he puts up like bills like to impeach mayorkas you don't get any he had to do it another time to do that. and so this he is crying. he seems to have figured out this complicated puzzle today and staff just on the heels of what representative debbie wasserman schultz was talking about zeroing in on israel and this $95 billion package includes $26 for israel. >> if this goes through broken down sort of in this way, $17 billion would go to offensive and defensive weapons for israel's wills, $9 billion in humanity hearing aid for gaza and elsewhere. and i wonder if there's any real specificity about that humanitarian aid,
9:16 am
who would if this if this bill is passed, who would be responsible for the dissemination of that humanitarian aid? >> you know, i mean, this this inclusion of humanitarian aid is of course hugely important to the democrats at large and this is an issue where we've continued to see democrats divided on how to address the situation in gaza. we've seen president biden faced pressure within his own party to navigate a very difficult domestic political position, as we're trying to support israel, while also acknowledging the need in gaza right now. and so this will be this much attention has been paid. the republican divide over are response to ukraine& this package. but we are also likely to see some democrats who feel that the us is not doing enough to condition the a that we provide israel when we're looking at what's happening in gaza as well. and
9:17 am
to your other question about speaker johnson's legacy, how he comes out of this? the question really is who you're asking there because he is once it's again having to rely on democrats to get through some of the biggest moves and biggest packages. he's had to handle thus far.& we know whether or not we see a motion to vacate. he has ruffled some feathers within his own party and there will continue to be more conservative in the house who are going to continue to push him and be upset and point to the fact that he had to rely on democrats, even for the procedural vote tick, tick get us to the floor. >> all right, we'll leave it there for now. stef kight, daniel littmann. thanks to both of you as we continue to listen to representatives there on the floor, make their arguments for or against the voting of this in all $95 billion foreign aid package. thanks so much. and the house is set to vote on these critical aid bills. later on this afternoon. of course, our team is following all of
9:18 am
that. >> and donald trump, former president, back on the campaign trail for the first time following jury selection in his historic criminal trial what comes next for the former president as opening statements are now scheduled to start monday there's new ally in the fight against climate change. >> this is new car business blue carbon. >> we just need to protect nature will do the rest plus cnn filled tomorrow at nine pain means pause on the things you'd love. >> but green means go cool the pain with bio free and keep on going bio freeze green means go are you thinking? i'm thinking about her honeymoon, about africa so far hot air balloon, rice when with elephants, weight three, four to safari, great question.

9:24 am
he tonight's 12 jurors and six alternates. now seated there was any going to go down so this is going through the week. >> and this will go on for another four or five weeks. >> alternate seats. moments after the full jury was picked, a bizarre and tragic moment outside court as a man set himself on fire, authorities say he was previously known to the police. and while they are searching for any domestic terror connections that does not believed to have been the motivation in court. a handful of perspective jurors became emotional. one was excused after she told the judge she had anxiety and was worried as a trial goes on, more people could know she's part of the jury saying, i might not be able to be completely fair and not emotional. so that concerns me another was dismissed after she began crying, saying, i'm sorry, i thought i could do this. i wouldn't want someone who feels this way to judge my case either. i don't want you
9:25 am
to feel i've wasted anyone's time. this is so much more stressful than i thought a third was sent home after noting she was feeling anxiety and self-doubt as she listened to a line of questions getting about the credibility of witnesses at the defense table trump's set flipping through papers with charts, photos, and graphics. he whispered and passed notes with his lawyers and at some points was hunched over with his elbows on the desk prosecutors susan hoffman, juror started off questioning potential jurors, telling them this is not about mr. trumping, a former president is it in it's not about his being a candidate for the presidency. it's only about whether the evidence proves he's guilty during her presentation, trump leaned back in his chair at one point, his eyes closed to trump's attorney, susan necklace focused on bias against the former president. she told those in the jury box you all bring biases and you particularly bring biases about someone who is as publicly and outspoken as president trump. there's nobody that doesn't know him in this room in the afternoon. the court moved to a
9:26 am
routine hearing to determine how much of trump's legal history the prosecution will be allowed to ask him about if he testifies which he said he plans to prosecutors argued they should be allowed to question trump about the findings in the e jean carroll defamation case, among others despite trump's attorneys strong objection. the former president shook his head as the prosecution spoke about how he defamed carroll kara scannell, cnn, new york all right. >> let's talk more about the start of this historic court case. i would trial attorney and former baltimore prosecutor, debbie hinds, debit great to see again. so this jury selection happened much faster than all of analysts predicted. they thought maybe it would take weeks. this was a matter of days. so what's your take on how this judge is executing a real efficiency in the jury selection process. if you think that's going to carry over in to the actual trial management of his trial. >> so far. this judge, judge michelle, has done an incredible job. i mean, i
9:27 am
myself have had jury selections that i've taken longer than a week when it's been 200 people that are presented on the panel, which is what was presented here in this case. so the fact that he was able to expedited move it along, i mean, he really has a good knack for that not all judges do by the way. so he's already proven he's keeping it on track. he's probably even ahead of schedule because i'm sure the judge himself probably did not expect to have the jury completely seated with six alternates in the boxes. we call it in one week, so that's that's just for a good he just has to keep everything on track from this point. >> so in the end or it's about to begin and how with 12 jurors, six alternates. but there's been a lot of pressure on these jurors were seeing an already dismissal voluntary, or otherwise have three juror. so do you think having six alternate is going to be enough that is my question as well.
9:28 am
>> when i saw that there were only six alternates know, honestly, i think they should have picked more than six alternates for this case. six, four to six is usually a doubt standard, but there there is nothing standard or regular about this case. we haven't even started and before we could even get a full set, as you mentioned earlier, three people had anxiety, so you have to have 12 jurors, no matter what, you cannot go less than 12 jurors. so as time goes on, this is going to be an eight week trial anything can happen that even relating for trump, but people have illnesses, people's family members get sick. that's why we have alternate. so that was my concern in the beginning. the six i don't think is enough honest and you can't add more once things get underway, you are stuck with the number of six alternates, right? and if you use all of them, exercise them, then what potentially could happen? >> so you know, a trial in new york, most criminal trials you need 12 jurors. so if you get
9:29 am
below the 12th, it's an automatic mistrial. i mean, unless and which would never happen unless both sides agreed to proceed with less than 12 jurors. that is not likely to happen, particularly with mr. trump as a defendant because all he wants is a miss trial in some way to delay delay, delay. so yeah, that number 12 is really, really crucial to keep those jurors in the boxes. we say, so quickly, given the type profile, there's a lot of pressure for a variety of reasons and do you see that these jurors will ultimately be sequestered that will depend on donald trump's actions. >> i mean, i think that obviously well, not obviously. i think that what will happen to these jurors are the same that happened at a jean carroll case, is that there will be security us marshals that would take them to and from the courthouse each day. hopefully so that they're just not roaming around when the subway or out in public. but at the end of the de, it's really going to be difficult to keep
9:30 am
them intact unless he says something, but it's so difficult for jurors to be sequestered. fredreka, it's just read fairly really difficult to be away from your family and your friends and your loved ones. but it may have to come to that to get this trial all the way through to the finish line and over the finish line. all right. >> debbie hind's great to see you. >> thanks so much. >> thank, you. >> all right. israel set to receive 26 billion in usatf. today's vote passes in the house will go live to jerusalem for more on what impact that money is expected to have beyond saves new album is breaking records you were diagnosed with thyroid disease along time ago and year after

>> shoppers all right welcome back we're waiting for the first key house vote that would provide billions of dollars in aid to ukraine, taiwan, and israel. that's expected soon for israel, the aid would include $5 billion to restock it's missile and rocket defense system in 3 billion for other advanced weapons systems, the vote follows this week skirmish between israel and iran that rattled nerves around the world. cnn senior diplomatic editor, nic robertson is in jerusalem for us, so a neck what would this aid package mean for israel would give it a certainty that the money that it's come to rely on for many, many decades now, we'll continue to come concern here because of course a sense of a growing rift between the white house and prime minister netanyahu because of the way is fighting the war in gaza. >> and to that point some military aid president biden has said will need when it's, when that aid has given to
9:36 am
other countries, then they then those countries are going to have to agree on the use of those weapons and the supply of humanitarian aid into those areas where the weapons are being used. and that clearly has implicit i will have an implicit effect on israel going forward. it appears but the economy is hurting because of the defense spend at the moment. so making sure this aid continues to come the country's credit rating has gone down, its spending hundreds of millions of dollars a day, literally to fight its wars with iran, with hezbollah in gaza so knowing that the aid continues and that it will be incoming and the things like the iron dome missiles which get about $500 million of those funds the fact that that will come, that there will be these protective iron dome rockets supplied and the advanced
9:37 am
weapon you talk about all of that is important. it's important militarily, it's important economically and make their nick, there are other developments with israel. the idf says it killed ten people that they are calling terrorists, and that taking place in a refugee he camp in the occupied west bank tool kerem in the part of the tool kara refugee camp cord, noralyn shams, the idf also says that they've arrested a number of wanted people and we've seen young men with flexi cuffs with our hands, flexor cupp behind their backs being put inside of the idf's military vehicles to be at appears to be taken away. >> normally for questioning. this has been quite a long ongoing operation in noralyn shams, perhaps one of the biggest we've seen in the occupied west bank since october the seventh, the idf says that for soldiers have been injured in that operational, it isn't clear yet if it's over and palestinian authorities are saying that a child, the news
9:38 am

9:53 am
nicholas. oh, get that earpiece together. we need to hear each other. okay. yeah. okay. so first up, i she just gave us a summation of what blue carbon is, but break it down for us. what is blue carbon? we're going well, technically blue carbon is three acre systems mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. >> so it's that liminal space in-between the land and the ocean. and it just happens to be fantastic at storing carbon and it also has these other added benefits, which is kind of what we discovered for it as we went along in the film, which is like coastal protection and fisheries so it's one of these win-win situations for the environment and is there a feeling that they are flourishing or how much more are they being threatened? >> i mean, it's getting better. people are recognizing now that these are really important ecosystems, both from a bio, but biodiversity standpoint and from the climate standpoint. but so far we, we've kind of hated swamps like traditionally
9:54 am
malarial crocodiles, all that dislike and it's very flat. so people like to develop them and put airports or industrial parks. so we've lost in many cases between one and two thirds of our coastal blue carbon ecosystems and we're trying to save what's left and that's what the film is about is a rallying cry. go swamps because they're really important because like you said, even with the word swamp, some people think not really interested in that, but, but sometimes these marshes are incredible bird sanctuaries, right? >> mostly they are, i mean, and mangroves are incredible places of birth thing. real nurseries for a lot of wildlife. so what do you want people to learn about why they need to appreciate things that people might want to deferred to as swamps. but there really vital and important. >> well, i think the other big aspect to this is the communities who live there,
9:55 am
many of whom are suffering on the front lines of climate change. and they tend to be not the people who caused climate change so there's a kind of a climate justice angle to this as well. so i think it's it's it's sort of in concert with biodiversity, but human communities blue carbon has this sort of opportunity to shine a light on these on the conservation efforts of these communities and the sustainability of these communities, as well as the ecosystem and the biodiversity. it's just with climate change, it's something we are all concerned about. and there are technologies that are going to help us draw carbon out of the atmosphere, maybe in the future. but we have a technology that works fantastic right now, and we can do that right now. and that is nature. and i call it low hanging fruit go directly towards the conservation and that's, that's what blew carbon is about o, so inspiring, i can't
