friend of mine and a tough but very fair, reported was spent decades working for newsweek >> my deepest, deepest condolences to howard's family, including his wife, amy. may he rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett outfront starts right outfront next, a breaking news, the house holding the attorney general in contempt, marjorie taylor greene, saying, merrick garland deserve to go to prison. >> what backfire plaza, more breaking news in new york, police arrested man found with a loaded gun, one hundred rounds of ammo, heavy body armor, and two axis just what was he plotting adult trump says he's living at quote, nightmare as he prepares for sentencing, i was onetime opponent, ron desantis could copy it was rescue. let's go out front good evening, america hill in for erin burnett at outfront tonight, breaking news held in contempt and now friend with prosecution. >> the republican led house voting tonight to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt for defying a congressional subpoena just one republican in the house voted against the measure. and right after that vote, house speaker mike johnson, not ruling out the possibility of prosecution republicans claim tonight's vote was about garland's refusal to hand over audio tapes of president biden's interview by the special counsel in the classified documents case, the doj has of course, released transcript of the interview republicans though, want the tapes to it's time for merrick garland to stop stonewalling and released the biden tapes to the question that should be asked is, what are they hiding and why we think we're entitled to? we don't think we know were entitled to all the evidence. and that includes the best evidence which is this audio tape there is some irony there, of course, congressman jim jordan, who just heard from their himself has defied a congressional subpoena it's really not just about defying a subpoena over audio tapes. take a listen to republican congressman james comer on the house floor today president biden's department of justice appears to be taking every step to insulate him from the consequences, whether it's hiding these audio recordings are attempting to give hunter biden a sweetheart plea deal to shield joe biden from facing accountability for his role in his family's influence, peddling schemes so it is important to note here, republican spent months investigating biden so-called influence peddling schemes as you just heard them referred to and admitted that they came up with nothing. >> they wanted to impeach him for it, but knew they didn't have votes in their own party for that. when it comes to hunter biden, it's important to remember, of course, that plagued gale famously imploded. he was convicted this week by a jury on federal gun charges, prosecuted by the same doj republicans accused of protecting joe biden, going after the doj though, is exactly what donald trump wants. the former president furious over his new york state conviction, which of course is not under the doj's purview. and also furious about those other pending cases now, all of a sudden within a matter of months, i end up with four cases now, of course it's from the white house and the department of justice. they are in total conjunction with the white house and the doj, just so you understand this is all done by biden that his people whole thing is rick and it's all caused by biden because biden has weaponized department justice moderato is outfront. >> i capital hilson. i know you've been speaking with republicans since this vote. what are you hearing yeah. >> there's a realization, erica, that perhaps not a whole lot is going to happen here, even though this is an incredibly rare event and was the attorney general of the united states referred for prosecution essentially if for contempt for defying the house over a subpoena. and in this instance, in particular, this would go to the us attorney's office here in the district of columbia. they would have to make a decision about whether to move ahead with prosecution, but there's also a separate wrinkle here. the president, the united states as a asserted executive privilege over these audio recording but the republicans want, and that is a position of the executive branch and the justice department saying, because the president has asserted executive privilege, they cannot release this to congress. and then ultimately the courts may have to decide whether or not the justice department is right in that position, and that could take some time to sort out. in the meantime, though, there are still inke within the ranks, including from some republican hardliners who are calling for prosecution of the attorney general and even prison time is merrick garland above the law i mean, i thought the whole argument is that no one is above the law. >> now that we've held him in contempt of congress he should be prosecuted by the department of justice and he deserve see the exact same fate as peter navarro. and see bannon oh, everyone, department joseph's isn't going to go prosecuting attorney general. >> i mean, but it's symbolic how i would call it symbolic hold them contempt. we'll see what he does. i mean, hopefully you look at this and you see there is ways and is the speaker of the house was walking off the floor tonight. >> he was asked by our colleague kit mar about whether or not he believes that the justice department should move ahead with prosecution now and he said that he is pleased with the outcome of the vote. he went on to say, look, we did our job and contempt as i think it sends an important message but then he said, as far as the next steps, we'll see what happens next. but in talking to lots of republicans, sayyed erika, they don't expect a whole lot will happen after this intense fight with the justice department tensors. it certainly was my to appreciate the reporting. thank you. >> out front. now, democratic senator sheldon whitehouse, who sits on the judiciary committee center. good to have you with us tonight. i do want to note for transparency here, cnn is suing for access to the biden audio tapes you're senate colleague democrat mark warner told the ap quote, you've got to release the audio. do you agree i think that the attorney general has an obligation to follow the direction of the president of the united states when the president of the united states assert executive privilege, you can't go after the agent when the principal has said no, this is an executive privilege matter that's the thing you sue over. >> you sue the president and say in a civil case to a court, hey, this was an improper assertion of executive privilege. the rich thing here is that republicans continuously obstructed us. the trump administration continually obstructed congress over and over and over again, over 100 times, as i recall. and virtually never. did president trump actually assert executive privilege so it was asserted by all of his minions, but he never actually made the assertion. here are the president did with the reagan memo from years ago requires the president to do and make the assertion once he's done that, that binds the attorney general, i believe and going after the attorney general is improper and unfair. >> so you're saying republicans went down the wrong road. there is what i'm hearing from you. i do want to get you in a couple of other topics, so i would love to get your take on hunter biden tonight as well, sir as you know, convicted and criminal court on guns charges, president biden has said that he would not pardon his son, but the white house today didn't rule out the possibility of the president perhaps commuting and eventual sentence. would you be okay with that? >> i, think that the course of justice should be followed. i don't think the fact that somebody is the president's son and entitles them to be out from under rule of law the president i guess, gets to make that decision once he sees what the sentence is but having been a united states attorney the sentence for a first offender in a reporting crime like this particularly with the overlay of his drug addiction and the judgment impairment that politest all of that. i'd be really surprised if the sentence in this case was enough to justify anybody thinking about commuting it will be watching for sentencing a few months away at this point, you sit as i noted on the judiciary committee, justice alito has refused to recuse himself from january 6 cases saying to you and senator durbin in a letter last month at the flag's use by january 6, rioters likes flown outside his home, homes were not put up by him, but by his wife if an intimidating in that letter that the flags were flown in response to neighborhood politics, he wrote in that letter that she his wife was quote, greatly distressed at the time, due in large part to a very nasty neighborhood dispute. >> and when it's noted house on the street at displayed a sign attacking her personally. erin spoke with that neighbor who laid out this timeline of events. take a listen i just want to emphasize that the interaction that happened on february 15th is the one that they're using as an excuse for why they flew the flag. >> and i really want to hammer home the fact that that happened on february 15, and their flag went up two or three weeks before that at best, he's mistaken, but at worst he's just outright lying. >> so she says, justice alito is mistaken or outright lying in terms of that time lame. do you feel you need further clarification from justice alito yeah. and the problem is that with respect to the nine justices of the supreme court, and those nine individuals alone, there is no place in the law for any proper fact-finding to take place. >> every other government official is subject to fact-finding, even the president had to submit to an interview about the documents in his garage. these justices won't allow themselves to be subjected to honest fact-finding. so we now have the statement from a justice of the united states supreme court that is demonstrably false unless he was a time traveler. so we really need to fix the rules over there. and that's why this supreme court ethics effort that i'm engaged in is so important, they should not be on an island of their own creation where no fact-finding about what the truth is ever gets done real quickly. you talk about the limitations there are constitutional scholar, harvard law professor laurence tribe told cnn recently, he thinks the chairman of your committee, dick durbin, isn't doing enough. >> he says there should be hearings on alito. do you agree with that? and is that something could your committee be doing more? >> we are having i think a lot of work going on in a lot of different ways i don't think anybody has ruled out the prospect of a hearing. you need to think carefully through who the witnesses would be at the hearing. you probably don't want to lead with a justice of the supreme court and walk right into a separation of powers our objection so you need to build the case carefully. we have some subpoenas out. the finance committee is doing its own invest investigative work. so there's a lot going on and i think as a former prosecutor, you want to build these carrots cases carefully and in proper sequence. >> centers. southern white has appreciate your time tonight and we will be watching to see what comes out of that. thank you outfront now david urban gop strategist, former senior adviser to the trump campaign, david good to have you with us tonight let's talk about what happened with merrick garland today. >> house republicans voting to hold him, of course, in contempt. do believe this is what republicans should be focusing on at this moment, five months prior to the election well, erika, that's a really good question, right doo do the american people around the united states, are they focused on this issue right now? probably not. >> i think most americans are focused on paying their bills, gas prices, getting their kids either graduated from high school and college off to summer camps, you know, they're going about their life and the things that impact them are household issues, gas prices, inflation, maybe kids graduate college, they're worried about looking to the rent, buying a home, saving for a home i mean, all those things that are really pocketbook issues, i think probably affect a much more that big said i don't think that the attorney general should just be able to get a free pass on this senator whitehouse, as you noted, the senator whitehouse cnn, and senator warner and others believed that the audio tapes should be turned over. >> they turned over a transplant transcripts have been made public. but the audio tapes haven't. and there's obviously get reason behind that because i believe the audio tapes probably reveal that the president biden to be what the special counsel said kind of a doddering old man and it's probably embarrassing and that's why they don't want to release them. >> the president has exerted its to executive privilege, which you also heard senator whitehouse talking about. do you think it would've been better for house republicans in this mode? i'll meant to challenge president biden himself and his use of executive privilege over that audio, instead of going after garland well, that's that's that's a tactical issue best left for the house republicans. >> i think, yes. but what's your finger? >> yeah it was my opinion is i think they're looking to go after the attorney general just like the former democratic house, one after members of the trump administration, to wit steve bannon and peter navarro, who are sentenced to prison. >> they're going to jail for it for for failing to show up for, you congress and obstructions. so we will see i think what's good for the goose is good for the gander. and i think that's what house republicans are up to at this point. >> we've got 30 seconds left. president biden said he will not pardon hunter biden, white house wouldn't rule out a commutation of an eventual sentence. do you see a difference between the two? >> yeah look i. think that's all too cute by half, erica, right your they're going to do it or you're not gonna do it listed what i'd like to see happen is i'd like to see president trump come out with a statement saying, look, if hunter biden commits to a program of sobriety and inpatient or maybe outpatients shows up, keeps his sobriety. i'll pardon him. i'd love for tse president trump to say that would be magnanimous. offer on his part shows humanity and and really flip the tables on the democrats will see if he is listening to you tonight, david, good to see you. thank you okay. >> thank you. >> i'll find nacs, new york police arrested man with a loaded gun. what hundred rounds of ammo body armor and to act the man also had a public transit worker vest. so just what was he plotting new reporting shows how donald trump blue daily five million from his campaign to his businesses. >> why we've reporter who broke that story plus a show of force a russian nuclear-powered submarine, part

eight i tbs breaking news, police announcing the arrest of a new york man who had listened to this list, a loaded gun 100 rounds of ammunition, a hatchet, and asked several knives the man also had a bulletproof vest with an nypd patch on the front as well as an orange public transit employee vest. now, all of this found after a routine traffic stop by officers obstructive plate turns into an arrest for person that is heavily armed. gun nods, weapons, very dangerous while community yeah, very dangerous outfront. now, john miller, cnn's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, who also served as deputy commissioner of intelligence and counter terrorism of the new york police department. so you're reporting here, john is the joint terrorism task force, is now investigating this. this all started with a traffic stop. what more do we know about this and about this suspect? >> so they spot this black suv, it's a ford explorer, very much like the kind that the nypd would use as an unmarked police car, but the back license plate is covered off with one of these tinted things where you can't really read the plate they do the stop based on license plate. they spot a taser with the person and a knife. they asked him to step out of the car. then they see the gun. they placed him under arrest, and the search reveals the rest of this. so what you have here is the most routine police stop that reveals at a time of extraordinary concern about terrorism a person who right now there is no indication was planning or about to commit a terrorist attack. but who certainly seem to be driving around with the supplies to do one. so it's being investigated by the detective bureau. that's being followed by the intelligence bureau and the jt tf is also looking into the joint terrorism task force is also looking into his background, his social media, and so on some of the things they have seen are not messages about attacks or ideology radicalization but there is an image of a flag that's been used by al-qaeda. one of the collapsible bhutanese had, had etched into it in arabic, god forgive me. so you could have a person who has a drug history, potential mental health issues i'm trying to deal with family issues that has a lot of weapons or you could have something else and they don't know yet, right? >> and we don't know yet. so i know you will bring us more information as soon as you have that, you talk about this heightened concern right now about terror attacks that has been here for some time, but it's only elevated after what we saw just yesterday, eight people with suspected ties to isis arrested after entering through the us southern border what does this say right now in terms of how significant the threat of a major terror attack is on us soil. >> well, it's really interesting, erica, because right now at a time when the war in iraq is over, the war in afghanistan is over the war in syria has wound down. there is this malays that we might be in a lower threat area than we have been before. but there's an article right now and foreign affairs magazine by mike morel, the former deputy director of the cia, who was at the helm the night they caught bin laden's and graham allison, an expert in weapons of mass destruction from harvard and they say in part, the stated intentions of terrorist groups, the growing capabilities they've demonstrated in recent successful and failed attacks around the world and the fact that several serious plots in the united states have been foiled. point to an uncomfortable but unavoidable conclusion put simply the united states faces a serious threat of a terrorist attack in the months ahead. in the months ahead. and i would say coming from mike morel, who was there from before 911 until the capture and killing of bin ladin. that's quite a statement. >> it is, it is sobering to put it mildly, but really important too that we have at john. thank you. >> outfront next to trump

direct quote, the headline of a new fundraising email for donald trump as he awaits sentencing in his hush money trial conviction, the email goes on to say, quote, can you believe this? i've had to speak to a ration officer after my rate conviction important two, once again, note, of course, that conviction was not rigged. it is true though that he spoke with a probation officer which all convicted felons awaiting sentencing in new york must do. and with that sentencing, now, just a few weeks away of former foe of donald trump could actually pay key role in how lenient a potential probation may be. the name of that former foe. >> ron desantis. here's tom format former president donald trump was convicted in new york, but he lives in florida. so if he is sentenced to probation as some legal analysts expect, he would likely serve it in the sunshine state and their initial from the two republican senators on down have called his conviction maharishi a sham outrageous a disgrace. >> what the hell happened to him by the way man, did he go down rhonda sanctimonious to trump and republican governor ron desantis mocked each other while vying for the gop nomination. but since dropping out to santos has endorsed trump trials and all trump is superior to the current incumbent, joe biden that is clear. >> then go into go hands off on him. does no question about it for noted florida attorney marco marrow. it all adds up to a clear conclusion. >> i think florida is the friendliest state for donald trump to survey period information without question omega predicts trump the felon on probation could be very much like trump the free man in florida, traveling when and where he wants not subject to surprise visit from his case officer and meeting with anyone. >> he pleases, including others who have broken the law well as. it would be up to state officials to decide how closely trump is monitored. >> even drug tests are at the discretion. most of it is at the discretion. there's not a prison built our jail belt dow every shut me up. >> of course, like several of his former advisors, donald trump could be sentenced to time behind me bars, maybe years. >> but this was trump's first felony conviction and it was for a non-violent offense. look, there's a system in place that were you rely on precedent and somebody like president trump should never, never face a jail sentence based on this conduct, trump could get house arrest or some other sentence all together, but with probation, there is one big caveat. if judge juan more sean in new york thinks florida is going too easy it's his sentence. >> and if he actually caught wind it is not being imposed he can stick his nose in it we reach out to governor desantis if he had any reaction to what is really a speculation from court watchers at this point? >> no reply, but this is absolutely clear. big republican power players in florida are already acting like trump has won this appeal that he keeps promising and if he ends up being under probation in florida, that suggest it could be pretty much a walk on the beach. erica? yeah. >> it is fascinating. tom appreciate it. good to see you. my friend also new tonight, donald trump banking nearly $5 million in campaign funds, moving that hall to his own businesses and entities all the while not giving a penny himself to his own campaign out front now is dan alexander who broke the story for forbes. so dan, you looked at all these numbers, this fec data at give me a sense, some $4.6 million. whereas this month honey going yeah, the bulk of it has gone to the company name tag, air, which is one of donald trump's aviation companies. now he's no longer flying around and air force one. and when he got out of the white house is aircraft fleet was in pretty rough shape 75070 ohms. he had 4 million of engine overhauls, which they did you got the thing back in the air? and then he started charging the campaign millions of dollars in order for him to fly around to all these states. and so he's sort of raped or return on that investment so you mentioned the plane and that's a big, a big chunk of the money this got. >> us thinking of a little moment back in 2016 when donald trump was bragging that he only paid for that plane to fly around the country. take a listen to that i'm self-funding my own campaign. i'm putting up my own money would that big plane flies into ohio, you know, it's paying for trump is paying for it so things were a little different in 2016, than they are now in 2024. and it isn't just the plane that we're talking about here, but other trump businesses and entities are also caching in off the campaign. walk us through what you found that's exactly right. if you go down the down trump's home mar-a-lago, which is a private club that's where he launched his 2024 campaign. about a month after he announced that, you see the campaign hey, the club, tens of thousands of dollars. it's continued doing that hosting events and functions over the next several months. now the total is $332,000 of campaign donor money. that has gone into his private business via mar-a-lago. and you can also see this in las vegas where he owns a hotel. you can see it as golf club down in palm beach in bedminster, wherever he goes and wherever the camp i'm paying goes, people are spending money and in many cases they're paying donald trump for services, even though he no longer is putting a penny in his own campaign. >> so any campaign obviously would have to pay for the hotel at used for the flights that it took, i guess the question here is, is any of this illegal the way that it is being done? with the trump campaign. and then ultimately the benefit to trump businesses we don't really know. >> and the reason that we don't know is because water for it to be illegal, the payments would have to be non-market value. in other words, if you were overpaying aviation company, then that would be illegal. but if he's having a market rate that might be ethically questionable, but is still legal now, trump doesn't have to disclose much here. we don't know how many flights this covers. we don't know how much fuel has been burned. we don't know, for example, when they were renting space in trump tower, how many square feet they were renting. >> and so although we know the total amounts of money it's really hard to make an assessment about whether those amounts of money represent fair market value for the services that the campaign is receiving the lack of a breakdown does certainly raised more questions. i know you reach out to the trump campaign. they deflected, they didn't answer your questions directly. we'll see if we get more out of this as the campaign and continues over the next few months. dan, great to have you heard of thank you. >> thank you coming up tonight, kaitlan collins, it sits down with nathan wade, the former fulton county prosecutor. >> you'll see it

the ship's presence just 90 miles from the us poses no threat that's a nuclear-powered submarine cousin, just over my shoulder there. and according to cuban officials none of these ships are carrying nuclear warheads. all of them are here for peaceful intentions. >> will just have to take their word on that. >> but clearly vladimir putin is showing the united states, the west, that if they can put sophisticated weapons of war on his doorstep, will then he can do the same as cuba endures the worst economic woes in decades. the war in ukraine is reuniting them with our cold war era patrons in moscow, despite cuban official statements that the communist run island is not involved in the war and that cuban citizens are forbidden from participating cuban mercenaries continued to fight on the front lines of putin's invasion. >> luna and during a meeting with putin, the kremlin in may, you going he was president. issue is was public endorsement of the war. so far i'm going to it we wish you success in the military operation. >> he said russia has increasingly scent oil to keep the lights on in cuba as blackouts worsen, and promised greater investment in tourism and agriculture. >> united states answer to what ad stevenson terms, soviet blackmail in cuba. >> was it this revived partnership may bring back memories of 1962 cuban missile crisis through up and soviet nuclear warheads were briefly placed in cuba but times have changed, says a former us official were not sending missiles to cuba to recreate the missile crisis or anything like that. but it does show that they can continue to project for some power and it does show that they have allies in the region willing to accommodate them and erica, those are the ship's just behind me are taking up all the births in havana harbor or cruise ships usually would go starting on thursday, cubans will be given the opportunity we are told to tour the main free get there that shoots those hypersonic missiles. >> and then from here, pentagon officials say the ship's will continue on and they believe to venezuela, certainly we expect the us military to be tracking every step of that journey. >> yeah, patrick, appreciate the reporting tonight. thank you. >> i'll friend now, bob baer, former cia operative at seen an intelligence and security analysts. >> bob, when we look at this, this is the largest show of force. russia has sent to cuba in years. it includes, of course, that nuclear-powered submarine putin is clearly looking to send a message here. i know us officials say they're tracking it. do you think they're taking this seriously enough well, if they're not, they should be. >> this is clear escalation on russia's part. putin is furious that we've allowed to ukrainians to use our weapons to hit russia itself the ukrainian has been doing a lot of damage inside russia and putin is messages you're absolutely right. erica is, you know, you you escalate. we escalate and what we should be worried about is not this, this flotilla. in havana, but what an accident occurring, which could occur in any time you know, could happen in poland and also, we can expect the russians to expand these provocations, whether it's in north korea or venezuela, it just doesn't matter. i think we're going to see him popping up everywhere sending us messages to that point, this escalation. i know you've said that you believe there should be a back-channel at this point putin. >> but is that even an option at this point? oh, i think there's no choice. the ukrainians are losing this war the russians are flattening cities. they've got unlimited amount of artillery shells, 155, which by the way, cost about a tenth of what they cost us to produce and they're going to keep going mean potent is modeling itself on stalin in world war ii. he just going to keep flattening parts of ukraine. tilly moves and i think in order to save ukraine we should have a back-channel and we should discuss what would it take into go she eight this i don't know what those terms but b, but somebody like the cia hey, director burns going to moscow and sitting down with putin hammering something out is the best way out of this and could avoid it. like i said, an escalation or real escalation based on what you know, how opened you think biden administration officials would be to that? >> well, they bettors pretty soon because the last thing we know we need is this war to spill over into the baltics, are into poland or someplace like that, when the russians are pushing back everywhere, even in paris, that there is covert action. and they're, they're dealing with the far right in europe and the far all right. could back out of any support of view ukraine at this point. so that the deck is not favoring biden. and the earlier he gets in negotiations, the more we're going to get out of it. >> bob, always good to have your insight and your expertise. thank you. >> for next, the hostages just rescued from hamas,

answers, takes you, anderson cooper 360 tonight we're learning more about the brutal conditions faced by one of these really hostages held by hamas. >> and before he was rescued over the weekend the family of andrey kozlov telling cnn he was psychologically tortured by his hamas captors and in extreme heat as one example, the family says, he told them they would cover him with blankets. they know though, that andre is actually one of the lucky ones. he was rescued along with three other hostages, including noa argamani whether 100 hostages though remain captive. tsugi deco hen is one of them in fact, he's been held for so long now that he has yet to meet his newborn daughter. erin, spoke with his father, jonathan after the release of these four hostages. >> joining me now, is jonathan dekel-chen. he's israeli american and his sons, dougie also has dual citizenship he is still being held captive by hamas in gaza tonight and jonathan i know it's gotta be such mixed emotions when you see that video of noah and her father yaakov. finally, we're reunited, was with yacov and crying thinking you might never see his child again and now of course, he is and they're together. >> it's a moment you've dreamed of experiencing and of course, you haven't yet what do you feel when you see that? i am overjoyed for all four of the hostages who are released. these are young people who can, after we hope some recovery and a lot of help, will be able to reclaim their lives it's, it's really extraordinary moment and i can only hope that the other hundred and 21 hostages and their families, those who are alive and those who've already been murdered, will have similar moments of, of getting their loved ones back. >> does it give you hope for tsugi? i mean, it's been a long time since anybody had been freed or found alive. >> and then all of a sudden four, does it change how you feel i think that this event is joyous as it is, is in a way a cautionary tale because it is the exception that proves the rule. >> the rule is that we've seen that there is no way to solely by military means, it get hostages out alive from the terror tunnels the exception here for these really lucky four who were rescued in an incredibly heroic operation is that they along with three earlier rescues, were all held aboveground, right. >> and homes in homes aboveground. >> and that is an entirely different situation and as for all of the hostage families, we don't want the euphoria. i mean, we're all for euphoria, but not let the fourier obscure the facts and the facts are that the rest of the hostages, the vast majority of them are not going to be able to be rescued by military action alone because there, because they're underground, that's correct. >> has the israeli government, the american government, jonathan, have they have they reached out to you since? the rescue of those four hostages know they have done what is the latest that they have even told you about where tsugi is or whether they think he's in a tunnel or what have they have they given you any indication of what they think? >> well, the last absolute confirmation that we had was way back in the late november, early december with the release of 40 of the hundred nine hostages were released some of the women from the kibbutz who are released in teenagers were able to tell us that he was alive and wounded at that time and that's the last information that we've been given. >> six months ago. >> it's a lifetime ago. many lifetimes ago. >> six months ago, of course. and december is when his daughter was born. his third child and i know you've talked about the joy that that she gives, but how is your daughter-in-law how are the other children how are they managing here it's more than more than six months since they've gotten those words well, they're his own two older daughters, aged almost three and almost seven. and they want their dad home they want their dad home. nothing is forgotten. >> they were traumatized by the events of that day. >> i mean, they have their own trauma. they were there while 200 terrorists and many hundreds of looters rampaged through are small community and i have a younger daughter with her own family who were they're on kibbutz nir owes during that day and they're equally traumatized just by a series of small miracles they were not harmed physically or taken captive during that horrific black saturday all right. >> which is and i appreciate your time and thank you very much. >> thank you for having me i'll run next the survivors of the
