that is heading to hospitals in the hardist hit areas. while it s a critical first step, it also means thousands of parents have to wait a few more days for relief. because of the actions we re taking right now we re going to see more formula coming off factory lines. when? and more formula in stores starting as early as this week. let s go straight to mj lee in tokyo covering the president s visit. have they given any indication how many more of these shipments we might see in the coming days? parents are, i m sure, happy to hear about formula going to hospitals and health care facilities and that sort of thing, but they want to nope when the formula is hitting the store shelves? reporter: yeah that is such an urgent question, jim, and what you might remember is through operation fly formula, this is the operation that the government launched urgently to get more formula to the u.s., the u.s. has secured some 1.5 million bottles worth of this specialty formula and
any way, shape or form? no, and there are increasing stories in outlets that are not critical usually of the president or his party. raising concerns, democratic circles about this, the shorter steps, the larger note cards in meetings where maybe he didn t have to have them before. there are diplomats now on background who are saying meetings have been much like that, in the oval office, and have not been productive. so you are seeing it more and more, the question is how this develops into a campaign, what this looks like, remember, obviously the last campaign was mid covid and there was not a lot of moving from, and did a lot of zoom interviews. we have again requested many interviews with the president, we have not gotten one. we hope to. but i would be interested to see if that campaign strategy changes, judging by all the stories we are seeing on this front. a new harvard harris poll shows 25% of democrats have concerns about his mental
i ve mocked this attitude as the only way we can stop trump is for none of us to do anything to stop trump. but and david froze again. but he completed a thought there. so that s good. let me go back to you. we will try to get david unfrozen again. this happens in the age of zoom interviews. molly, david was talking about republicans being able to quit trump and letting go of trump. it so happens we have gotten new sound from republicans who are letting loose on trump. this came in earlier today. let s take a listen and talk about it. we keep losing and losing and losing. and the fact of the matter is the reason we re losing is because donald trump has put himself before everybody else. i ve got a great policy for the republican party.

goal, including, by the way, if i may say, his going nuclear in 2013, i believe, which many republicans now rejoice that he did, saying he s responsible for those three supreme court justices under the trump administration. when i interviewed him for the book, and i have 24 zooms on this computer with harry reid, which is more than he talked in almost his 35 years of service, he has no regrets, and i mean no regrets for doing that. but it ll be one of the things he s remembered for and not so favorably by members of his own party for many, many years. and, listen, two things. one, make sure you back up the hard drive on that computer because we are going to want to see every minute of those 24 zoom interviews you did with him because there is a lot of insight in those interviews, i m sure. but i m curious to get your thoughts on this, jon. when you look back at whether
