reorganization. we ll talk to the mayor and plus this. that is violence, serious violence escalating between israel and palestinians. and a mysterious drone strike against iran stoking tension in the region as america s top diplomat heads to jerusalem in the thick of it. facing a major test as this situation continues. a bombastic warning from a top u.s. general who is predicting war with china potentially. we re going to start though with the memphis police department permanently shutting down the scorpion unit after the savage and deadly beating of tyre nichols. the special unit is once celebrated for cracking down on high crime areas. it is now coming under intense scrutiny. the big question is was tyre nichols the only one? or did other people also suffer brutal treatment? you re going to stay on top of this. it has a very as i understand it, sketchy track record. well, we re hearing that certainly from people in the community. you were there. people would come
hi, peter . actually , good morning. and you hit the nail on the head there. the big focus of today s meetings is going to be on iran right now. the big concern for leaders in the gulf that the president is going to be meeting with separately and then together today is iran s nuclear program. what exactly are they going to do? they re the top two foes in the region for iran. are saudi arabia, where we are today with the president and israel where we were for the last couple of days with the president and things are apparently of great enough concern now that israel and saudi arabia have this first in a lifetime dialog going on . they are the first line kind of relations came yesterday when saudi arabia announced that they are finally going to start allowing flights to take off in israel to land here in saudi arabia and israel is not a part of today s meetings, but it is a great concern in the region what exactly iran is going to do. president biden said he prefers diplomacy,
that s the whole problem. that s the problem that donald trump faces. he sees everything from his perspective. the reason in he was successful in 2016 is because he offered to be their voice. he offered to take their concerns to washington. now it s just a series of gripes and revenge and it s all about hichlt and the republican party h him. they have a very different decision to make. are they focused on the future or the past? are they going to be litigating the 2024 election or the 2020 election? you see this all across the country. i want to make one important point about politics. yes, donald trump is leading nationwide in every survey. in high eye, new hampshire, south carolina, ron desantis pulled even or ahead on the states that really matter. this is a duplication of what happened in 2008 when barack
