Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham and President Biden confident Senator Chris Coons will both be here. Finally, the message from D-Day and how it holds true today. JOE BIDEN : Democracy is never guaranteed. Every generation must preserve it, defend it, and fight for it. Jake, I was looking back at remarks you made on this program just a week after that horrific attack on Israel on October 7, and, even in the early days, you were pressing the Israeli government for a clear plan on what they will do in Gaza the day after the war ends. Has Netanyahu accepted any of the U.S. proposals or suggestions? Has he presented any of it to his own war cabinet?
And it was inconclusive, which is what the secretary of state said on this program at that time. The president recently approved allowing Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to fire across the Russian border, a restricted area, but still a new policy choice here. Has that made a difference on the battlefield?
Is this because China has brushed off your attempts at arms control? We turn now to our latest CBS News poll of the 2024 presidential race, and it shows the likely nominees effectively tied. Among voters across all 50 states, Former President Trump leads President Biden by one point, 50 to 49. But if we're looking at voters across the seven states identified by CBS as the battlegrounds, likely to decide the election, those numbers are flipped, and President Biden is ahead of his predecessor by one point, 50 to 49.
So, unpack that a bit, because this 62 percent of Americans favor deporting all undocumented immigrants. So, Homeland Security says that President Biden has already deported or repatriated more people in the past year than any year since 2010. And then, depending on the details of what's talked about on the campaign trail, some of what Mr. Trump talks about could be illegal. It doesn't seem practical, in some sense, to round up children.
It's really just kind of a: 'Do something.' Face the Nation will be back in one minute, so stay with us. Yes. Yes, I do support us training inside the country. You know, the delay in weapons because of House inaction, we did lose momentum. But from the very beginning, the Biden administration, they did not impose pre-invasion sanctions to deter Putin. They didn't give weapons to Ukraine early on to deter Putin. And now we've got a chance to reset this war, that they have the weapons.
Making Russia a state sponsor of U.S. – a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law would be a very big blow to Russia. Yes. But if we went after the assets that Putin has all over the world, take his money that's stolen from the Russian people, and help the victims in Ukraine, I think it would do a lot to end this war.
Senator, I – I wonder if those remarks from your fellow senator represent the GOP? Yes. Yes. The defense minister has also said there is no planning for the day after happening. Where is this headed? I want to talk to you… All right, we have to talk more about this on the other side of the commercial break, though. So just give me a minute or two, and we'll be right back.
I think it's still possible. But the administration's taken months to negotiate the defense agreement between Saudi Arabia and the United States, holding it over the - Israel's head regarding Rafah. I think we're almost there. One thing I got from this trip was that they still don't have the weapons they need in Israel to finish off Hamas. So, they're going to be sending me a list of weapons that are being slow walked. So, I'm going to bring that up.
Well, they can't because they're pinned down over there. I want them destroyed so they can never come back to hurt Israel or us. Hezbollah is alive and well. So, to those Americans who believe pulling the plug on Israel now makes us safer, you've missed a lot. Radical Islam wants to slit the throat of every Jewish person. And your throat too. So, no, I want to give weapons they need. The administration's withholding weapons. The - Trump was a great ally of Israel.
Yes, there will be. On day one - on day one, President Trump will deport people here illegally by the tens of thousands. Then, and only then, will this stop. And Biden will never do that. His top priority will be to sealed that border, deport here people illegally. We're living on borrowed time when it comes to another 9/11. If you're looking for somebody to fix a broken border and keep us safe, Donald Trump, I believe, is your best case.
Because there's a stark difference in the values that President Biden and former President Trump bring to trying to address the issue of border security and immigration. I'll remind you, Margaret, that former President Trump tried to implement a Muslim ban. A ban on entry to this country explicitly based on one religion. He also used cruelty.
Rather than a solution that a bipartisan group of senators stood behind. President Biden is moving ahead with forceful leadership at securing our border. President Trump is simply making a political issue of this. I'll remind you, former President Trump tried to use gimmicks like building a border wall and is now threatening to nationalize the - the - to federalize the National Guard and use it to deport tens of millions of people already here in the United States. The difference between Trump's approach and Biden's approach is one of cruelty versus effectiveness.
Is grave concern about the commitment to reproductive rights, to fundamental freedoms by the current MAGA Republican majority and by former President Trump. To make it clear that Democrats will protect fundamental rights, where Republicans, under the leadership of former President Trump, are putting them at real risk.
For months and months before the October 7th attacks, the largest protests in Israeli history were occurring week after week in the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem against steps that Prime Minister Netanyahu was taking, putting at risk of rule of law. And Benny Gantz, a centrist, decorated IDF war hero, will likely today announce that he is leaving Netanyahu's war cabinet because there's no clear plan for the path forward.
But, frankly, if Netanyahu isn't coming to speak to Congress about his plan for securing peace, his plan for the path forward, I don't know why we would go. That's an important effort many of us have been involved in. Prime Minister Netanyahu has a chance to show that he will be a real leader, not just a partisan leader, but someone who will try and secure peace and stability for Israel. It's my hope that that's what will happen and that that's why Senator Schumer agreed to invite him to speak to a joint session of Congress.
We're joined now by the executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme Cindy McCain. Good to have you here in person. When you were here last June and we spoke, you said you were trying to encourage China to get involved with funding, but also get their expertise with technology and agriculture. Are they stepping up at all? Are other countries stepping up?
Just like in Gaza. We'll be back in a moment. You see that high ground right above there? We're living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than at any point since the end of World War II, since these beaches were stormed in 1944. Oh, you're the savior of the people. my eyes.
