morning and welcome to cnn this morning it is sunday, march 17. i'm danny freeman in per victor blackwell. good to be with you. >> danny, i'm amara walker and here's what we're watching for you this morning, dueling for dollars president biden ranks in a record haul of 53 million dollars in donations and just one month as former president donald trump is reportedly scrambling to raise campaign cash are breaking down the numbers. and why trump says losing the election will lead two calls of a bloodbath >> and accused killer in custody. what we know about the deadly pennsylvania shooting spree that led to an hours-long stand up in nearby new jersey, plus escaping the chaos, the state department announces plans to rescue americans trapped in haiti as gang violence escalates. a report from port-au-prince, you'll only see on cnn most the final countdown we are live in moscow where vladimir putin is hours away from likely clinching an unprecedented fifth term as russia's president >> all right, just in the past hour, we got our first look at president biden's fundraising haul in february, it as a major cash advantage as he is raised, the most money out of any democratic presidential candidate and history at this point of the campaign. >> now he's setting his sights on the west coast, hoping to draw and even more money. cnn's camila dechalus joins us now from the white house camila, how much did the reelection team raised last month? >> good morning amara danny, at this point in time, we know that the biden campaign team raised more than 53 million in the month of february. now that is an increase from what they made and what they raised in january when they raise more than $42 million and the campaign's team says that they really want to use this money to open up more often it says across the country, and to hire more grassroots organizers that can go door by door talking to voters on the ground and really making the argument on why they should support biden's reelection efforts and tell us more camila about biden's trip to the west coast. where as he headed that's right. biden is headed to arizona and nevada. now these are two key battleground states and biting really wants to just go to these days and talk to voters that campaign team says that he is at his best when he's really on the ground, talk king to voters, listening to their concerns. and that's what they want to do, that these two states are really crucial and upcoming election. and that's going to be pivotal for him to really go out there talking to voters and really making the case in the argument on why they should support him and his efforts to run for reelection. again millijoules. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> that trump is conducting his first test of his influence in the senate. he visited ohio this weekend to stump for businessman bernie moreno. he is in a three-way primary for the republican senate candidates seat. he used the visit to double down on dr. hi. are warnings for the country's economic future if he is not elected >> we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. and your dr. to be able to sell those guys. if i get elected now, if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole that's going to be the least of it. it's going to be a bloodbath for the catchy that'll be the least of it. >> now, i'm sorry, go ahead. after biden's campaign seized on his comments saying trump is calling for another january 6 attack. trump's campaign shot back saying he only meant an economic bloodbath for the auto industry, joining us now is cnn's chief correspondent, congressional correspondent manu raju. hello, good morning. >> morning strategic move, right? making these comments in ohio were the ones busing auto industry has struggled in recent years wondering what your thoughts are on this off the cuff, comment, blood help, or hurt him? >> you know, the interesting thing about trump is that would here the kinda campaign he is running in a general election is really not much any different than the camp campaign that he has run in the primary, which is trying to rile up his base, really throw red meat to the base as we've seen, time and again. and that is the bilirubin the same strategy that he ran back in 20 16, and in 2020 successfully of course, in 2016, hoping that there's some disaffected voters ultimately will come his way, and that will bring him the presidency. we'll see if it happens there at the same time, he's trying to still unite his party after that primary win that he routed nikki haley and others to win that primary. but there are doulas amount of voters were not there yet with trump and also that goes all the way down to elected officials as well, including some who earn tough reelection battles. i spent the last couple of weeks talking to many republicans about whether they will actually endorse donald trump. many of them are falling in line, including republican leaders. but there here are some who, including those who are in swing districts like congressman david validate, of california from digital, that joe biden won. he's not there yet in endorsing donald trump endorsing trump yet, i've already said multiple times, why don't get involved in anything presidential through that being me play >> you voted to impeach him? >> so again, i've said multimap. i'm not getting anything presidentialism. thank you. >> validate was one of the ten republicans voted to impeach donald trump after the january 6, 2021 insurrection. you've actually seen trump in some ways defend his efforts. everything that happened on january 6, defend the people who've been arrested, calling them hostages on the campaign trail that had been a big theme of his rallies. so it just shows you the strategy he is employing to try to take back the white house is a base strategy. it's not necessarily a pivot to the middle strategy. we'll see if it ultimately works i'm curious. we're heading towards yet somehow another partial shutdown deadline. can you tell us what our chances do you think of avoiding a government shutdown? >> congress can certainly stumble into one. this has been a very ugly episode in the, uh, hundred and 18th congress. there are basic job is to fund the federal government, but they have learned from nir shut down the nearest shut down kick the can down the road and short-term extension after short-term extension, this includes a significant portion of the federal government funding for the defense department, homeland security department, other major federal agencies, they still have that put out the actual legislative language, the text that the appropriations bills that are needed to fund the federal government and the deadline is friday and there are some people on the right who are pushing the speaker of the house to demand even more from democrats in these negotiations, including warning that are suggesting that they should, the speaker should embrace talk of a shutdown chikli be willing to shut the government down over that >> absolutely. that's what i'm advocate for >> you. >> and the question is, well, that actually end up that way. there's leadership does not anticipate there will be a shutdown. they believe they can ultimately get a deal and put this messy episode behind them as we tried to pivot to the election year. but speaker johnson himself dealing with his own internal challenges, number of republicans in primary races are targeting other sitting republican members, in trying to defeat them in their primaries, just shows you the larger pension that is going on in the house gop at this key moment and lastly, what's on tap for inside politics sunday money. >> yeah. well, good. de dive deeper into the dynamics within the house gop speaker johnson telling us about how he's trying to clamp down on those member-on-member clashes and primaries, we get into the concerns about that the senate gop about donald trump's effort to prop up a key candidate ahead of an ohio senate primary. that is central to the reference to take back the majority. we'll dig a little deeper into trump's campaign strategy as well. and plus bringing new interview from joe manchin, who doesn't shut the door completely about changing his mind about his retirement vision, come to zero. so that's all coming up in a matter of minutes, guys >> thank you very much. and of course, you can get much more with manu coming up on inside politics sunday, that's coming up at the top of the hour, 08:00 right here on cnn. switching gears now, in new jersey, police arrested at 26 year-old suspect after an hours-long armed standoff on saturday. now the suspect, andre

the neighborhoods affected by haiti's gang conflict neighbors protecting neighbors. >> that's essentially what this has >> become here in port-au-prince, just to survive. and this is one community that we're in that feels rather safe. and that's just because several blocks out, you've got perimeter after perimeter that is set up by the community. and works with the police. so the police essentially allow the community to do what they need to do the setup these blocks and entries and exits and the community in turn helps empower the police so that they can then do their patrols. but for many of them, it's about setting these up to block. what is not far from here. and that is an expanding gang territory, one that has been trying to encroach on this community. in particular, many times over the past year or so. >> and it >> got to a point where community members, according to one police commander, had to take justice into their own hands. and they were able to take into custody 14 suspected gang members they then executed those gang members, right in the middle of the street. there was a very public display, but for them it was to send a message to other gang members to keep out of their community it hasn't stopped the gangs from trying to push further and further in. but for the folks who live here everyday life has gotten increasingly difficult we see a few street vendors but not many, and we are here three weeks ago. many of the sidewalks were filled with street vendors folks now, simply don't have anything to sell and so they've resorted to trying to secure as best as possible using the police's help. some of this apply lives trying to bring water and food into areas like this i asked some of the community members, how is it that they're able to stay afloat? and he said, we rely on each other. essentially, they will have some of these community members go door to door collecting food, maybe some money, some water, and then that provides some substance for the folks who are securing these communities if you ask, who's in charge? they look around and they say no one. that's why they've taken matters into their own hands you ask, what do you need? what can help haiti in this moment? the first thing that most folks have told us is for the international community to not intervene in the way they have in the past instead, they want help in the form of aid. they also say that they need some sort of security backup. what that looks like. >> they didn't really articulate, folks really didn't want to go into too much steve tail in trying to explain what that added security might come in the form of but for most here it's just about trying to figure out how to get to tomorrow and knowing but tonight could bring another round of violence

become an unprecedented fifth, six-year term and voter turnout is reportedly at about 60%. however, there have been some reports of severe well disobedience at the polls fires were set inside and outside. some polling sites. and one person was seen dumping black dye into about box. cnn chief global affairs correspondent matthew chance is live for us in moscow. matthew, tell us what you're seeing there. >> yeah danny the voting which has been taking place for the past three days in russia, hasn't gone off quite as smoothly as the kremlin would perhaps of a likes, there have been these individual cases of people trying to disrupt voting in various locations across the country. you mentioned some of the sorts of things i've been going on. there have been asked and attacks at polling stations with people throwing molotov cocktails or petrol bombs, or setting fire to polling booths inside actual voting centers. there have been people pouring sort of die of paint or inke or antiseptic dye into the polling boxes. there's the voting in boxes to ruin the votes that have already been cast the election authorities say some 214 voting boxes, ballot boxes have been ruined as a result of that kind of action. there's also been quite an interesting protests today on the last day of the voting at midday local time across the various russian regions the team of alexey navalny, the late russian opposition leader, called on people, urge people to go to polling stations at that exact time so they could see each other in a sort of sort of in a way of showing some defiance without actually breaking the very strict rules here i can tell you we were at one polling stations in here in moscow and over the period of about five minutes, around about 12:00 local time, it many people came out and maybe 150 people, maybe a few more, came out at one time and formed a line to go into that polling station. i spoke to some of them about why they come they can't express political opinions. and of course the rules are so strict here. people that want to say they're involved in any kind of protests, but take a listen to what a couple of people they had to say >> why >> become now to cast your vote? >> because they come to an end. he wanted to see all these people >> come together and see each other in-person. >> fair enough. thank you very much are they wanted to come and see it? everyone else that was there. another woman spoke to me and said she hadn't seen queues lines this long for people to cast their ballots in russia, for the whole of her life. and so it's something that's relatively sneeze. and having said that, it looked none of these sporadic protests across the country are likely to distort the outcome of this election. the kremlin has set it up so that vladimir putin, the russian president is going to win a fifth presidential term. as i say, these protests are not gonna do much to derail that efforts back to you. >> now if you gents thank you very much. appreciate it. >> well, many russians who live abroad say they are using their freedom to express their opinions more openly. frederik pleitgen cnn senior international correspondent, is that a pro-democracy protests me. russian embassy in berlin. obviously people can speak much more, flee freely there. what are they telling you? >> other mra? yes, more freely and much more loudly as you can here behind me. that is one of the big protests here outside the russian embassy were a lot of opposition people are sneaking there onstage and you can see the pan over there real quickly. you can see there is actually quite a sizable crowd here outside the embassy. a lot of them obviously saying that they believe that this election is not legitimate. a lot of them calling on western leaders not to recognize vladimir putin as the president of russia. of course, they also believe that this election is going to go the way that many people well, think it's going to go. and that vladimir putin most probably will win by a landslide. but it's interesting that you mentioned the fact that people obviously can speak much more freely here because that is basically the main message of the folks on stage. but you also have something very similar to what matthew was just showing you there as well, obviously in a bit of a different setting. if we go over here, i can show you, i'm actually ending right across from the russian embassy in berlin. and you can see here also, there is a lawn of people who have showed up around mid day. obviously, the opposition, especially the one that was led by alexey navalny, now led by alexey navalny's widow, calling on people to come around midday and to go into the polling places and then to vote for anybody. but a lot of air pollutants. and you can see very large crowds. they actually go on for would say about probably like 5600 meters around the block. so certainly those signs of protests appear to be happening here as well. of course, the folks on that side i'm the street also not saying why exactly they decided to come here at exactly the midday but on the whole intensive protests like this, not just here in berlin, of course but in other cities around europe. and of course around the world as well, you can see right now they are chanting once again against this election and against vladimir putin. >> yeah, what real split-screen moment when you're hearing from the protesters there versus the people that spoke to matthew chance, you could only say we here where we came are just seavey other people, clearly

tvs let's take a look at some other headlines were following this morning in new mexico. the manhunt continues for 32 year-old man who authorities say shot and killed a police officer who offered to help a driver in a disabled vehicle. police issued an arrest warrant for jaremy smith of marion, south carolina and say he's considered armed and dangerous he allegedly shot new mexico state police officer justin hare around 05:00 a.m. on friday. the suspect is also linked to another killing of a 52-year-old south carolina paramedic ended indianapolis authorities have arrested 25-year-old nicholas folk in connection to a nightclub shooting that left one person dead and five others injured. the shooting happened at a popular nightclub early saturday morning, but police arrived on scene to find five men with gunshot wounds a sixth victim made his way to a hospital. now the incident is just one of 77 mass shootings that have happened here in the us in the first three months of 2020 >> the standard 6% commission on home sales could be gone as part of a major change by the national association of realtors now the organization settled lawsuits by agreeing to pay $418 million and changing rules to make buying and selling homes cheaper. this agreement is subject to a judge's approval. the new policies would include banning the inclusion of agents fees, and listing some buyers brokers would need written agreements with their clients joining us now is max best for us? he is the associate professor of sociology at the university of wisconsin madison. he's also the author of up sold real estate agents, prices, and neighborhood integrity. max, great to see you this morning. i mean, this is seismic, is it not is clearly a huge win for consumers is definitely a big win for consumers. >> how big of a change and >> how fast of a change it's going to be. i think remains to be seen but for now, we're looking at a lot more flexibility and negotiate ability for both homebuyers and homesellers. >> i do want to talk more about the impact of this, but in terms of timing, if the judge approves this, how soon could we see commission rates going down and by how much? >> it's a really good question. i think it's an open one. what consumers should absolutely know is that immediately they should be questioning what their real estate agents are saying or their fees and commission structures. so before this lawsuit if you are home seller, you're the agent would say, you know what? i'm going to collect 6% of whatever the final prices at the end. and i'm going to split that with the buyer's agent. those have now been decoupled. so the seller's agent sv and the virus agency are now completely separate. and so if you're a home seller, you should absolutely feel free to say your agent, look, what are you charging? why are you charging that? how much work are you putting into listening this house? and the same is absolutely true for buyers as well, before buyer's agent's would say, well, don't worry about how i get paid. i get paid on the final sale of whatever how cbi now i think that's going to shift and buyers should be saying to their real estate agents, this is what i'm expecting this is the amount of work that i'm looking for in this is what i think that work is worth. >> i talk to me about how much americans have been paying in real estate agent commission fees over over the years. and how this elimination of the rule of the 6% commission fee, how that could impact the affordability of homes for buyers? >> so just in terms of pure numbers, it's pretty astronomical by most estimates us home buyers and sellers spent about $100 in real estate commission. just last year and so that's a massive amount of money. it's a massive pressure on the house the market to keep prices up. what i think this lawsuit does is hopefully reduce the incentive that real estate agents have four, what's sometimes called upselling what's sometimes called steering, which is trying to show their buyers more and more expensive houses because they know that their commission is going to be bigger so taking away this incentive might be one of the ways that some of that pressure is that upward pressure is really relieved on housing prices right now in the aggregate, if buyers are less incentivize buyers, agents, or less incentivized to show their clients more expensive homes. the hope is that there's less demand overall for more expensive homes which might at least slow some of this astronomical climb that we've been seeing in housing costs in recent years. >> and as we mentioned earlier, i mean, what triggered this rule elimination of the 6% agent commission fee? was this series of lawsuits about antitrust violations speak to us in more simple terms about what these lawsuits were about yes. >> so these home sellers were claiming that they didn't know that they were expected to pay the buyer's agent at the final sale. and this is something that you hear from a lot of consumers. a couple of surveys have shown that people who have i've even previously bought and sold homes still don't understand what the commission structure was or is and why it worked the way that it did. so i think what we're going to see is all of these fees become more transparent. i think brokerages are going to be explaining to their agents that they need to be clearer with their clients since about why it is that they get paid in the way that they do, or how much work that they do. as a reason for why they get paid. but i think i would caution again that i don't think these changes are going to happen overnight. i think if we really want more fairness and homebuying, we're going to need a little bit more regulation, enforcement of these laws. but these lawsuits are really showing that i think consumers, we're fed up with the current commission structure. >> and i would imagine this is going to affect the way real estate agents approach, you know, selling homes and helping their clients buy homes, right? i mean, because it's going to increase the competition in the marketplace >> yeah, i think one thing that we might see is actually a lot fewer real estate agents, the number of real estate agents in the united states fluctuates a lot with home prices. and so it's not surprising that the national association of realtors had the highest number of members in there because as recently as 2022, prices are going up more and more people think that they can make some money being here listed agents. i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these people start to drop out of the market, find other jobs it's uncertain about how whether or not that's going to necessarily be a good thing for consumers if the market becomes the more dominated by just a few brokerages. but i do think that this is some pretty severe reputational harm to the occupation of real estate. agents enter the national association of realtors in particular. >> next best for us, we're going to leave it there. thank you. >> beaches are fighting a losing battle against rising tides and the toll isn't just a physical one. it's a

rebuilding, it's not going to go away. do you believe in looking at climate change is no. raising this, believing that no, i don't believe in no, i really think it's climate change. >> i wasn't a believer and global warming or ocean levels, but i mean historically there's no precedent to this. so i mean, i'm willing to consider things that previously i i'm not sure using the tides in the year 2000 as a baseline. the state is officially planning for up to a foot of sea level rise by 20, 34 feet by 2070. and salisbury beach is just one of 79 cities and towns in the state within coastal surge zones defending them all could cost billions. >> so there's hundreds of scientists within our driver here warning us of what's happening when it comes to a warmer planet. and what's going to happen to coastal communities like this you don't believe them or yeah. i'm not i'm not a climate change guide. and i believe that climate does have some effect, but i i don't believe that this beach will be
