even the kremlin calling this situation larming. what we re seeing as a completely new phase alaunching it in russia. we re very clear with the ukrainian that s we do not support attacks inside russia. the 2024 gop presidential race is about to get more crowded. mike pence will throw his hat into the ring. chris christie feels he s the only candidate that is willing to take on donald trump directly head-to-head. are they going to get in the race and tactually say somethin about him, to him? it s a difficulty. and the guide saved a climber s life hauling him down mt. everest for six hours. it was important for us to rescue him. we saved his life by coming down the summit. good morning, everyone. miracles do happen. i love that story. we ll get much more of that ahead. happy to be joined by erica hill. good morning. nice to be with you this morning. p. nice to have you. we start here. federal prosecutors obtained a recording of donald trump saying he
Victory lap after that deal passed the house. i wanted to do something no other congress has done. that we would literally turn the ship. for the first time, quite some time, we would spend less than sbent the year before. tonight we all made history. this had is the biggest cut in saving this is congress has ever voted for. and it s not that we re just voting for it. this is going to be law. cnn s lauren fox is live on capitol hill this morning. i feel like you moved in, there lauren. so, we re half way there. the big question, of course, will this pass in the senate? yeah. i mean, there is definitely momentum coming out of the house of representatives. that vote was overwhelming with house speaker kevin mccarthy getting more than just a majority of his republican majority that was really they w
