8:03 am
several attendees he cursed while criticizing special counsel jack smith and other prosecutors have charged him with committing crimes. and in yet another sign of how trump has come to embrace the january 6 capital attack. he walked out to a song performed by men imprisoned for their role in the insurrection now it came as trump audition half a dozen potential vp picks in front of those big republican donors at the ritzy were treat all just hours after that blockbuster testimony from his longtime aide, hope hicks in his criminal hush money trial in new york now for about behind the scenes, look into this week's gathering. we're joined by cnn's alayna trained, who is live with us in palm beach with some new reporting. elena, what are you hearing while you're exactly right about donald trump's speech yesterday, he was speaking at a luncheon fundraiser at his mar-a-lago club. >> and as you said, it was a 90 minute profanity laden speech where he cursed repeatedly. i'm told and he did compare the biden end minutes restriction to the gestapo,
8:04 am
while baselessly claiming that democrats are the ones behind the series of criminal indictments that he is facing now i do also just want to bring you some reporting we have about the setting of this weekend and so a lot of republicans, wealthy donors gathered here in palm beach to help raise money for the former president as part of the rnc's annual retreat. and as you mentioned, there are a lot of special guests who were included on that list that are on donald trump's shortlist to become his running mate. people like doug burgum and tim scott, both four former republican presidential primary opponents against him, as well as senator marco rubio and senator jd vance, as well as house republican conference chair elise stefanik, among others, and donald trump lavished praise on them during that speech. mar-a-lago called them up to the stage. and as you said, it's kind of an audition of sorts for these potential vice presidential contenders. now when i talked to the trump campaign, they say that donald trump is still a weeks, if not months away from deciding who he was wants to pick as his running mate, that decision
8:05 am
will come closer to the republican national convention in july. but it was a good opportunity for these people to brush shoulders with him. and stand onstage at this big event. now, some new reporting we also have is that at one of the events during the rnc retreat chris lacivita and susie wiles, both donald trump's campaign managers, as well as tony fabrizio, had a walk through some fundraising figures cooling that they had raised 76.2 million last month. and really the fundraising here was the entirety of this weekend. they really are trying to aggressively catch up to joe biden's campaign a1, who has an ever-growing war chest that really has been out of reach for the trump campaign. manu all right. >> i'm gonna drain in palm beach, florida. >> thank you for that report and i'm joined now by cnn's kristen holmes, the new york times is called host. and laura berlin pbs newshour. good morning. on this new z warnings of news last night and mar-a-lago, kristen, you've covered the trump campaign in for us here at cnn. you've been talking to your sources. what, what have you, what are you
8:06 am
learning about? what happened this weekend and your takeaway from? >> well, if they're feeling really good about the $76.2 million, they know that they're not going to catch up with joe biden. that has become a reality for them and several of his advisers have briefed the former president on that. so they're coming up with campaign strategies now looking ahead to november as to how to do more with less. now, one of the things that they have sat in these are his top advisers is that they feel like they have one advantage, which is that donald trump doesn't need to win over his base. they feel like right now, president biden is still trying to win over his base, given us series of issues that voters have with the president, what they're trying to do is look ahead to november as how to siphon off voters. but as you said, like donald trump is very focused in the now we heard about that 90 minute profane late and speech. he's talking about those trials. he's not talking about the campaign. he's talking about how he's angry that he has to sit in court all de and to some extent, here here's a great he has been frustrated. we know he's been closing his eyes. he doesn't want to sit there for eight hours a day now. don't think he actually wants to be out there
8:07 am
campaigning but it definitely does want to be sitting in the courtroom exactly. we'll get more to that later in this segment, but i won't get into just about the vice presidential hopefuls is lina was reporting there about how there they were there, there were behind closed doors it came up on stage, several of them up on your screen there six of them potential feel pick takes all, see, maybe there's some others on the list to, but these one of the things is that these vice presidents are placed, bp picks are gonna have to defend trump against all these criminal charges that's going to be one of the big things about one of these cans. if they want the job which i'm sure any of them well, they're gonna have to defend trump against criminal charges that's right. because trump really values loyalty almost above everything else he wants. someone who is going to be just protecting him at all cause someone who is not going to say or distance themselves from him in any way, shape, or form. and we've seen that out of those that we had there on the screen, a lot of them appear willing to do that. they appear willing whether it's in terms
8:08 am
of the trials or also the rhetoric that he uses on the campaign trail. and oftentimes you know, very well, manu that republicans will say that they didn't see a comment that he made. they say that they didn't see a truth social, see the toy didn't see the tweet, which i expect these vp candidates will continue to see and just don't condemn the type of rhetoric that he uses on the campaign at all either. >> what was remarkable last night was just about the way that trump has gone to embracing what happened on january sex, those we there's this anthem, this january 6. prisoners have been they sing a song which says basically the mat national and the pledge of allegiance, right? and then they play that all these rallies he did this in front of his donors and his gop class. and this all comes as trump is continuing to talk about election fraud in fact, this is the third straight election cycle and she is not said that he would accept the electoral results no matter what happens unconditionally. this not what
8:09 am
he said in the past the only way we can lose my opinion. i really mean this pennsylvania is if cheating goes on the only way we're going to lose this election is the election is rigged and this is that was 2016 and 2020. and this is just last week to walk you journal sentinel. he says, if everything's honest, i'll gladly accept the results. i don't change on that if it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country. now, i mean, this all comes as the rnc's chief counsel, we're learning charlie speeds resigned about two months after accepting his position in part because of some tension over not believing those election fraud issues. but trump is don't brace can even talking about this in front of his donors. yeah. i think we can stipulate that donald trump, if he loses, is not going to accept the results of the election and i think this is part of the problem with these vice presidential candidates, but i haven't seen any reluctance at all from them so far to defend him and to even downplay january 6, i think jd
8:10 am
vance has really taken on that man until saying last week that it's all exaggerated. so i mean this is what trump is going to do. and i think that's tough for the people on the hill who were there on january 6, and they have to say oh, wasn't that big a deal, jd vance wasn't there. it's probably a little easier for him, but i do think it's problematic for a lot of the senators who've already come out and said, i'm a loop form and doors. yeah. but they don't like talking about january of six because there's a lot of video of them running and what's going on. and it continues to come out. >> i want to turn to the hope hicks testimony from fighting. of course, he was one of trump's. she's one of trump's longtime adviser. she went to the standard that dramatic in the hush money criminal case and some of the key likewise, there you see on your screen about how she kept what happened in the aftermath of that access hollywood tape in the 2016 campaign about trump telling her about michael cohen's payment to stormy
8:11 am
daniels zoo. trump allegedly had an affair with and tried to cover it up with those hush money payments kristen, you've been covering this trial? but what was your takeaway about what stood out to this week? >> well, the prosecution certainly did their job with hope x. i mean, it was very clear she was composed, she was poised, she was very honest about everything that had happened and the other part of this is that she's not somebody like michael cohen who has an ax to grind with donald trump. they hadn't welcome for two years. that was because her testimony in front of the january 6 committee was made public. there was a lot of ice around some of the text messages she sent that essentially insulted the president and his orbit was very angry. but the two of them still have very much mutual admiration for each other. they both speak very highly of each other. they have a relationship that was clear when she was on the stand she was one of the first people that was part of donald trump's campaign. she was in it and she was part of everything and the prosecution's job there to outline what that looked like. they did that and i was pretty
8:12 am
powerful. >> and meantime, i've put the question to a number of republicans about the allegations of all was all republicans are defending trump against these prosecutions. i think it's unfair. they see two-tier system of justice that's their argument. but what just the underlying allegations donald trump allegedly making hush money payments to cover up. it's a fair and how do we feel about it? >> does that conduct give you any concern? i think it gives me concern is when you look at college campuses across the country, you have a two tier justices in this country. what about the conduct his alleged conduct the former president well, again, i'm not going to speak to alleged activities. >> you want somebody again? good character to be president. you need to look back in history, all the dirt bags that we've elected president doesn't shake me. >> i'd be more concerned if i were president biden the underlying allegations that he paid off a porn star to keep an extra imelda fell quiet. >> i knew i can't answer those questions anymore. i'm i'm
8:13 am
looking for and that's not that's former vice president mike pence's brother, but that's gop weight goes on the hill, but i have heard from even members who are not fans of donald trump at all that they think that this case is not a good case. >> yeah. it see we'll see if the actually is convicted or or acquitted, but maybe a hung jury. >> let's say all right, coming up as campus protests continue, this weekend, democrats are on edge. i speak with alexandria ocasio-cortez and john fetterman cnn this, morning with kasie hunt, with david five easter from tried and true to try something new. >> so many ways to save life ready wallet, happy. >> that's 3605 by whole foods market, are 13 million americans were affected by identity theft in 2022. and the threats are more than you realize if you're a victim of

8:18 am
were the lapd is moving in to clear the pro polys palestinian protest in cabinet will monitor that and then you any news as it develops? now, protests in the united states are showing no signs of slowing down, including in college commencement, commencements that are now getting underway. this as talks continued this weekend over a long-sought hostage deal that could bring about a temporary ceasefire in gaza. democrats are divided on how to respond with president biden stuck in the middle. well aware of how young voters anger could hurt him in key battleground states. >> so i asked congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez what the president needs to do to bring them back in the fold? young people are facing a very strong array of challenges that are structural and they also manifest in our economic ability to lead our lives. i think it's really about doubling down on that, making health care affordable, making housing affordable, and taking on corporate power in the united states for that, then
8:19 am
the gaza war, i think the gaza war absolutely is a factor in this. we have people that are of course, a at what is happening in gaza with the help of us resources, the horrific tragic cheese and violence that we're seeing makes it hard for us to talk about anything else but for the other side of the democratic argument here, senator john fetterman do you think democrats are divided? >> well, there are definitely, as they definitely have a a pro-hamas wing of the protesters. and there's also parts so that might be antisemitism. >> are you comfortable but what nanyang, the way he's prosecuting this war right now that's not, it's not, my judgment. when you have a choice standing with a group of cowards and rapist that are like, i'm always going to stand with israel. it's been very clear all right. >> my panels bag now, it's interesting how the democratic
8:20 am
debate has taken shape and how voters view the whether or not the united states is doing too much or too little. here's a poll from the nouipour that from abc news ipsos about whether or not us is doing too much to support israel. this is right now it says among democrats, 40% say is doing too much to support israel. that is up seven points, just since january, and that's in line with younger voters to clearly that's president biden recognizes that the shift that's happening within his party, he does recognize it as y you've seen the president take more aggressive stances toward israel, despite the fact that he says we still support them, we support their right to wage this war in defense of themselves. but that he has had much more contentious conversations with netanyahu, that he has publicly been calling for a ceasefire fire when he didn't months ago, that he is saying he's working tirelessly to try to negotiate this, but i was just in
8:21 am
michigan talking to young voters and the voters they're kinda match what commerce i'm going to cost you a cortes was saying which was that there were those that were very upset about gaza, some that had voted for biden in 2020 so that they weren't going to this time around. and then there was undecided young voters who lean to the left. and we're much more concerned about the economy and about abortion. and they could very well end up coming back to him by no one and she also said that the gaza sort of underscores the intensifies that feeling about how the presence, doing at those other issues that's a he point in about those other issues. >> just issues that will determine how voters will come down according to the monmouth university poll. inflation. >> the top of the list economy, top of the list, immigration still high up there, but the israel-hamas war, 80%, yeah, that's not at the top, but that's still a significant number. >> and there's a debate again against the demo in the democratic party. but what biden should do differently, that's a question i put to a number of democrats last week
8:22 am
are you worried at all about how this could impact him come november i think if the election were held today, there would definitely be an impact. >> there's a lot of time we now and then and hopefully we'll get a good resolution would be very surprised that the progressive left of which i'm proudly a part of, would support that kind of discrimination. should and harassment. this is now far outside of some objection to prime minister netanyahu at the end of the day, people will see that there's two similar individuals in some respect but at the end, very different bat, crazy chaos dictator like or steady, evenhanded pragmatic individual. >> what about does voters who say that they don't sit out the election? and those democratic voters who say they must sit out the election. >> yeah, 100%, like if they want to throw michigan to trump that way. well, if you want to play with that fire, you better, you better own nadh fire what do you what i mean, it's interesting.
8:23 am
>> i mean, john fetterman says, set out the election, you're going to lose, but there's a lot of democrats were concerned about that. >> yeah. no, i think this is a big problem on the democratic side, trying to figure out exactly what to do as we saw with the antisemitism bill that was on the floor last week and i think that republicans are pretty happy to see this. they've had so much turmoil in their own ranks. they finally think they have the democrats on the run on an issue where republicans are a little more united. yeah. and speaking of republicans want donald trump by before we can turn it up just a little monitoring these protests that are happening in you but to pro-palestinian encampment. and potentially lapd moving in to deal with those. they encampment. there will monitor that as that develops. but donald trump has been talking about those college protests, believing this is an issue that can divide democrats. is a taste of what donald trump has been saying. >> the radical extremists and far-left agitators are terrorizing college campuses as
8:24 am
you possibly noticed, crooked joe is now reportedly planning this is wonderful news for you people in wisconsin did bring massive numbers of gazans from the middle east well, live to your american towns, your towns and villages. it's just determined to create the conditions for an october 7 style attack right here in america, it's going to happen with all of these people coming in from the southern border all right. >> so what's your view? >> this was him in waukesha, wisconsin. >> what he is referring to, there's a cbs reported that the biden administration is reportedly considering bringing in or allowing palestinian refugees as war refugees to come in if they have some kind of connection to the united states. that was a report at most of the time or much of the time donald trump is making something up, but he was referring to something there that had been published. >> this is a good issue for the former president, not just because of the tension that we're seeing in the democratic party, but also because of what you're seeing republicans
8:25 am
doing overall, which is painting a portrait of chaos underneath joe biden. >> so when you're seeing these campus protests, when you you're seeing law enforcement dragging people out of their out of encampments in you're seeing kind of a lack of control. those are the things that donald trump and his team are really pinpointing and pointing to. try and get voters who might be more moderate in the middle or even people who might be looking at that and saying, i don't know if i can send my kid to college. >> this is very scary. this looks like very intense. those are the kind of things that they're really focusing on here. >> yeah, it's interesting because one of the things that dan goldman said in that clip that we played earlier was that he doesn't believe this is representative of the left of the party because a small amount of the democratic party that is that maybe have democrats who are these people that are protist? we're going to college students and but the question is, how does that perceive among the public that will turn back to that as we're watching this la police moving to clear a pro-palestinian encampment and we're going to continue to monitor that that
8:26 am
effort, that what's happening on the ground, there's you can see a live stream on your screen we'll bring you in more news when we come back florida man is hospitalized, infected with anthrax night. this became the bureau's number one crying to solve. >> how would really happen with jesse l. martin tonight at nine on cnn we all need fiber for our digestive health, but less than 10% of us getting up each day. >> good thing, mega musical gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic plant-based fiber with the same amount of fiber as two cups of broccoli met a muscle gummies, the easy way to get your the daily fiber. >> the only godaddy arrow helps you get your business online in minutes with a power of ai, with the perfect name the great level and a beautiful website to start with a domain, a few clicks, and you're in business. make now the future at godaddy.com slash arrow, fashion moves fast. >> so we partner with verizon

8:30 am
cleaner that's going now up to 50% off and i go sina.com this is cnn. the world's news house republicans. >> they began this congress with an ambitious agenda, but those dreams have faded away. since then. they have thrown out one house speaker, run dumping another. and their agenda is stalled amid bickering in name-calling. now they are actively trying to defeat each other in their primaries. today, my new reporting with melanie zanona, it looks at how the fury within the conference is spreading to their home districts as even more republicans bank primary challenges to their sitting colleagues something that has long been seen as a major
8:31 am
breach of protocol. now, everyone from the hardliners who voted to oust kevin mccarthy, to one memory voted to impeach donald trump has a target on their back from fellow republicans the latest battle involves the preska don bacon a swing district republican, who is fed up with the hardliners tactics. now, the chairman of the heart hard-right house freedom caucus, bob good, just indoors, bacon's primary challenger, and bacon told me he plans to respond in kind it's all about norms have been undermined by these guys. but we never vacated a speaker. they did it, right? well, now they're going to get to people in their districts so my view of it as i was never gonna go against an incumbent you just yell, you support you, let the voters that district take care of that but i am supporting my goods opponent now, you are oh yeah. why is welcome, bob. good came out and endorse my my opponent. so we're going to learn with everything we got and i talked to ask bob, good, who is actually being targeted by
8:32 am
people like don bacon, center, right? republicans in his own primary asked him about why he's targeting his fellow republican why do you want don bacon to lose and his primary your supporting his opponent? why does it deserve to lose comment? >> he was pretty concerned about that his office did didn't respond to a request a comment as well. carl, you've been covering congress for very long time. what does it say about the norms in this case? >> yeah. >> well, the norms been gone for awhile on these issues then for tat and this does not help the republican in any way, shape, or form as they tried to hold on to the majority you know, when you have this kind of infighting, its spreads, the message isn't good. the division is very visible. so just one more reason that republicans are going to struggle to hold onto the house. it's just a bit like lord of the flies mass republican conference it's right now, it's a lot of eating each other alive and like yes,
8:33 am
democrats are, as you laid out, disagreeing right now on israel gaza policy, but they aren't primary in each other or backing challengers at the same rate at all the way house republicans sorry. >> yes. no question. and this all comes, of course, is mike johnson is trying to fend off this thread. his results do we expect that could happen this week maybe as soon as tomorrow when marjorie taylor greene, if she goes to the floor tomorrow, calls for a vote seeking his ouster. if he's going to survive that mike johnson is because democrats are coming to his defense. but there's just been a lot of turmoil, of course, among the top republican ranks, lot of turnover republican leadership. mike johnson has just been an offer as 193 days compared to the one of the last democratic house speaker, nancy pelosi, 1,461 days. that's x for first-time, 1,462 days or second time, she's speaker you're seeing just how that doesn't compare to the republican side. donald trump does not necessarily like this turmoil. in fact, one of his colleagues, troy nehls white, caught up with last week, made that case to me when asked what he opposes ousting mike johnson
8:34 am
everything that we do in the house of representatives should be in the best interest of getting donald trump re-elected this guy right here motions to vacate, justified or unjustified. we don't have time for that right now. >> in trump agrees. i mean, last night in mar-a-lago, he said he offered the post reports that this way unequivocal praise for mike johnson, who is in the crowd telling him that, quote, you're doing a very good job and he ended that republicans should leave him alone yeah, this is really truly how donald trump feels right now. just remember if he doesn't want to go through this either, partly because it takes the spotlight off of him. it was a lot with the kevin mccarthy stuff. it was in the news constantly and he was trying to get attention around what he was doing and his campaign, but also, they believe that this is a distraction and donald trump has told that to people around them. now, he is in a little bit of a hard spot because marjorie taylor greene is one of his most loyal supporters and he is not going to publicly come out against marjorie
8:35 am
taylor greene. so it's a lot of this maneuvering that you're seeing him praising johnson nonstop. you brought johnson up on the stage. marjorie taylor greene wasn't even in palm beach over the weekend, which is rare because she she's almost always by his side for any of these kind of events. now, i'm not saying there's a rift there, but there is certainly a conversations that he is having with his allies to try and get this to be buttoned up because not want to deal with it again this all comes of course, the question is, does this impact them? in november? how much will it impact that? the issue is that the house races, it's incredibly there's very few competitive districts. one of those competitive districts a democrat was just indicted on friday, texas democrat henry cuellar, allegedly for accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities he has said that he has done nothing wrong, but you can see that the 2022 election results he won that race. but biden kerry, the district by about seven points in 2020. but this is the issue. this row house republican

majority is 217 to 220, 212. there'll be another democrat sworn and soon, but they can still hang on to the majority, right? read very narrow, but they could, you know, and i think this is a big surprise to them at the end, like here we have this race all the sudden, employ, it's going to be really sort of back-and-forth. i think the entire campaign, but it's no one is going to win this by a big number. >> and democrats obviously concerned about the henry cuellar situation has been jeffries says that you're innocent until proven guilty, but he's going to be on the ballot in november, right. >> because how do you feel a candidate in time if somehow they wanted to the primaries already over, if somehow he weren't in the race, how do you feel the candidate time if he does actually win the race? and then he he's sent off an indicted then i think that it's a big problem for them because they're looking at like a handful of house races in california, a handful of house races and new york and they're hoping that they just are able to hold onto the
8:37 am
existing ones and add in those in those states. but it's going to be narrowed whether you're republicans or democrats that we'll see bubblegum majority has been very difficult to say the least. i'm very gentle about that. all right. so we're still monitoring this breaking news out of los angeles where police are moving in on protesters at usc and we'll continue to discuss that. and up next, trump's allies are warning on abortion is democrats counts. and then i talked two nfl legend sue good about their support for legalizing now i want i realized that candidates was better for me to support. >> what do you do and anna, working on my dating profile, want to see i think that's me. >> know how you sleep at night on a temper p-adic mattress. >> i got at mattress firm. it's got cooling technology. so now i sleep get matched that mattress firm sleep at night. >> sometimes the lows of bipolar depression feel darkest before dawn with cap later, there's a chance to let in the

southern california officials have closed the schools named campus as police movement here out, pro-palestinian protesters all amid the growing unrest, we are seeing in college campuses across the country, he continued to monitor this developing situation. meanwhile, in florida, this weekend, behind closed doors, wealthy republican donors were told the issue of abortion was a key vulnerability ahead of november that's according to one attendee at the gop retreat in florida the acknowledgment comes after several major developments this past week in arizona, the governor signed a repeal of a near-total abortion ban from 18, 64, while in florida, a law banning almost all abortions after six weeks took effect wednesday borders there would aside its fate in november. that means nearly every state across the south has some form of abortion ban in place. but a new cnn poll this week shows just over half of adults and states with complete bans find the policy too restrictive. now, trump has
8:43 am
been dancing around this issue, even though he named the three supreme court justices who overturned roe v. wade, he said in a time magazine interview that came out this week, or whether he was comfortable if states decide to punish women who access abortion after the procedures is bad. he said the states are going to make that decision. and then he was asked, do you think stay should monitor women's pregnancies so they can know if they've gotten an abortion after the ban, he went on to say, i think they may do that. they might do that. now band team, of course, jumped all over that and trump put on his truth social post at 3:29 a.m. this morning. and he said that i never said that some states may choose to monitor women's pregnancies to possibly prosecuted for violating any abortion ban. look, it just shows you the complicated position donald trump isn't in need, knows how potent of an issue has come november. >> yeah. and also just to be clear, time magazine put out a transcript. there wasn't just
8:44 am
part of a quote. they put up the full transcript there, so donald trump did agree with that, could be something that happened as you said, the key is a fine line to walk because one he wants to take credit for the overturning of roe v. wade. he has tried to take credit for it and in some ways he is the modern-day architect of the overturning of roe v. wade because of those three supreme court justices. but the other time he knows that it is not a political winner for republicans. he is watching all of this. this is why you saw him not get onboard with a national abortion ban because politically speaking, he was told and convinced by his advisors that that would have been a toxic move, that the better things to do was to kick it to the states. but as you see, there, when he asks who's getting asked specific questions about what that could look like almost as though he doesn't know how to answer that because again, doesn't want to be talking about does that all all he was doing was saying it's not on me and there's a a really interesting poll that came out about long-term paul, really from december of last year through march 9, that interview 22,000 participants pri poll about
8:45 am
whether or not abortion should be mostly legal, but closer two-thirds of people in battleground on states say abortion should be mostly league on here. the states that they surveyed on your screen are the ones that will determine the election. i mean, obviously there's a reason why kamala harris was down in jacksonville, florida mentioning trump's 29, 20 times last week in tying abortion to trump that's write, the campaign is going to be hammering biden's campaign is going to be hammering on this him trump on this relentlessly and just being again in michigan, voters, there, they still are worried about this despite the fact that michigan in 2022 protected abortion access on their own ballot initiative. >> and a lot of democrats in that state kinda feel as though they could be the blueprint for democrats in other states because of the fact that they wrote that abortion rights ballot initiative to trifecta in that state. they one across the board, but governor's mansion, the state houses. and so they're looking at states like arizona, nevada, where
8:46 am
they think that democrats could replicate hey, that and boost biden at the top of the ticket. i mean, a lot of voters, even this one young conservative voter that i spoke to said, admitted he's 19 years old. he's in college and he's going to vote for trump. but he said that abortion could be the reason that he thinks biden wins because there's so many young women saying that they care about. >> and you mentioned the abortion on the ballot here, the states where abortion version managers have been in about this november, this one member where abortion ban about a lot of so many states from florida to south dakota maryland, new york, missouri but donald trump may not lose missouri. but those doubt it can have impact huge advantage for democrats and both parties have learned over the years, let's get these ballot initiatives on the general election ballot and drive out our voters. and i think that you're right get florida is joe biden really competitive in florida? no, but there's a senate race. there's some very important house race with, let's get the number of voters
8:47 am
that we can out there, i think, and i think you guys would agree with me that if democrats win the house, biden wins the white house abortion will be the issue that probably compelled them. >> and just a reminder for voters about voter voting, states have voted to protect abortion since 2022, there were three registers, three blue states that have essentially voted to protect it in 2022. so you're seeing how voters vote and what it's about referendum. but will they come out in november to support democrats? of course, as with the democrats so we will see, all right? coming up with major marijuana is out of washington. >> i get in the weeds two football legend bobby lawmakers to ease regulations on cannabis see what the buzz it's about so many painkillers during my career i'm lucky to have liver and kidneys right now and this plan is what saved us. and that's why we're here the trump hush money trial, novelty, gavel coverage for weight only. cnn can bring it to you. legal insight, expert
