we will watch the court, maggie vespa, thank you very much. that s going to do it for me. deadline white house starts right now. hello, everyone, it s 4:00 in new york. i m ali velshi in for nicolle wallace. just a few hours ago, attorneys for donald trump filed a brief defending their can client s place on the ballot in that critical 14th amendment case that s before the supreme court over whether his role in the january 6th insurrection bars him from running for office. oral arguments before the justices are on thursday. we are also hearing from special counsel jack smith, his prosecutors are mounting a defense of the classified documents probe in a filing to judge aileen cannon. we re going to have more on that in a little while as well. we begin with developments in the middle east where the threat of further air strikes looming across the region and a furry of diplomacy with one goal, preventing the war in gaza from widening even further. president biden and his
shoulders, the small of my back, my waist. often enough by late 2014 i didn t want to go to the holiday party he was hosting for the albany press corps at the executive mansion. john: some top democrats are joining the list of the lawmakers demanding cuomo s resignation including house judiciary chairman jerry nadler among several prominent new york lawmakers issued statements saying that the time has come. sandra: yeah. yet still silence from vice president kamala harris on this. she has not joined those calls by fellow democrats for him to resign. nor have we heard from senators gillibrand or elizabeth warren, all three of whom were vocal in opposition of brett kavanaugh in the confirmation hearing. all of this is after the governor s own lawyer reported a groping allegation to the police. the woman involved has so far declined to press charges herself. cuomo has continued to deny the allegations, john. john: sandra, the cover of the new york post stating it all.
you heard the congressman talking about border security and immigration reform that does not mean they will spend dollar one on a wall if nancy pelosi called it all along immoral, it s not likely she will be in any mood to give the president money for a wall immigration reform, yes, daca reform, yes, a wall probably not, alex. practically speaking, what s open now and what s closed and when will those employees get paid the 800,000 employees furloughed, more than half that had to work anyway as we ve been documenting the past week. the federal government put out a memo saying they will be paid by the 31st that is january. it could happen before then. meanwhile, there are still entities trying to capitalize on this i heard on the radio coming in today an ad from a bank, federal
