00:01:40What excites
00:02:57should. I mean this is kind of
00:03:46extraordinary ruse. This was the the secret, putting the secret
00:03:50in Secret Service. If you but is that
00:03:52there tell us about the future of a good thing, right? Like I want the Secret Service to do its job to protect
00:03:55the president against threats. Yeah. And I don't know what else he was supposed to say.
00:03:59This is a man that's, you know, attempted assassination three times and one of
00:04:03them like really, really, really real. I mean, he was shot.
00:04:06So I think that even though he's supposed
00:04:10to be or America wants to see him telling the truth, you can't in
00:04:13regards to security. It's also because is the Qatari gift,
00:04:17is the juice worth the squeeze? The amount of money, the effectiveness in
00:04:21a crisis. It I think people are looking at it and saying, you know,
00:04:24maybe you wouldn't have to do all this if you were just stuck with the stuff you have. As an American, I'm
00:04:28glad the president is safe. Yeah, I think that's first and foremost, regardless
00:04:32whether or not I agree with him any or everything. In fact, we disagree in
00:04:36100% of things, but I do think there's an there's an element of
00:04:40transparency here that needs to happen for the sake of the
00:04:43process because if it if it happened to Trump, it could happen
00:04:47to a future president. So there's some sort of transparency needs to be added to the
00:04:51process. And I'll just say to my Republican friends who
00:04:54anytime these things have happened, they make the case for ballroom, all
00:04:57these political things that happen that... This is where you separate and you
00:05:01say, you know what, we need to like stay out of the politics and deal with the
00:05:05reality. But there's also what you're revealing to quote and quote the
00:05:08enemy. Um, and this you have to reveal it in order to deal with
00:05:12trans transparency and safety to prevent it on the front. That's like the
00:05:15Secret Service's job to figure that out. And the rest of the American people in the
00:05:19world shouldn't know
00:05:22that the we know or the president knew or the
00:05:25security knew about the threats. So I mean that's we're showing our
00:05:29cards if we do that in my mind. Okay, well, two things. First I want to play for
00:05:32you the reporter uh from the Washington Post, the Pentagon reporter
00:05:36who sort of explains a little bit more
00:05:39context. So let me show you that.
00:05:43"my understanding is there was some White House staff that did not know. Uh, this
00:05:47was kept close hold in a small group. The C-32
00:05:50simply did not show up in flight tracker data at all. Uh,
00:05:54at least in the publicly available information we had,
00:05:57and and the Air Force One jet landed with the Air Force One
00:06:01call sign despite the president not being aboard. That that
00:06:04there was a serious shell game of sorts that occurred there
00:06:08uh, to keep the president safe. To be clear, the
00:06:11Qatari give..." To jet, the reporting was that it
00:06:15isn't equipped with missile detection, countermeasure systems of older jet. So they've
00:06:19got to fix that up. But here's the last beat I want to talk about, the Justice
00:06:22Department then sending out subpoenas to
00:06:25reporters, basically trying to force them to
00:06:28reveal um their sources on this, which of
00:06:32course they had to drop because it was a violation of First Amendment
00:06:35rights. Um, why not let it go? Well, let me
00:06:39step back. Let's step back for a second. Um, the...
00:06:42"the Trump administration, Republicans will reveal what they want to when it comes to
00:06:45transparency in the president's threats. We've seen them reveal other threats and
00:06:49so I don't know how you separate these two, but I think one of the things we have to
00:06:53understand is this is not Iran's Iran's first
00:06:56time uh dealing with America and the way they want
00:06:59to. Uh just few weeks ago we saw the Minnesota um hack if
00:07:03you will, the president waved that off. We've seen them attack water systems across
00:07:07the country as a potential threat. Now is this so I think we have to have
00:07:11serious transparency." conversation around security of America,
00:07:14including the American president. That's that's the point I'm making on transparency.
00:07:18This reminds me a little bit of when, and you remember this, of
00:07:22when President Bush wasn't allowed to come back on 9/11 and
00:07:26everyone was criticizing him for not coming
00:07:29back and and fortunately or unfortunately, I was part of that
00:07:32work time and and there and he wanted
00:07:36to come back, but everyone said he was weak and he, you know, he was trying to
00:07:40avoid running the country and all of that. But that's the images of him
00:07:43like looking out the window or whatever like he's somehow, but the Secret Service and the
00:07:47military actually took over and didn't allow him. So we
00:07:50don't know and I'm not sure if we deserve to know if the military and the
00:07:54Secret Service were the ones that said you get in the
00:07:57catering truck and get to the next place to picture Trump
00:08:01volunteering. This is just emblematic I think what we're we're getting
00:08:04at of this current moment too. This this conflict and this this this
00:08:08conflicting contrast that we have between the president, this Republican uh
00:08:11administration. Is president and and some of the norms
00:08:15there, but also press freedoms, right? So two
00:08:18things can be true. The president who has had several
00:08:21assassination attempts, including from Iran, uh can
00:08:24uh protect his safety. At the same time,
00:08:28this was extraordinary to your point. The fact that the press did not
00:08:31know and was told actually that the president was
00:08:35on this plane. And that's uh something, and now the attempt to
00:08:39punish them for for learning. Um, we're going to talk more about this.
00:08:42Relationship in a bit, I want you guys to stay with me, but coming up, we're also going to talk
00:08:46about Mayor Mam Doni, because of course, in New York he campaigned on
00:08:50taxing the rich. Well, there's a judge that put one of his
00:08:53signature policies on hold. So we're going to talk about the
00:08:57reality of governing as a Democratic Socialist. Plus, it's
00:09:00primary day in Wisconsin. What will voters
00:09:04the Democratic
00:09:05Party?
00:09:11The history of... life, it's right
00:09:14here. This is our planet. This is our
00:09:17home.
00:09:20Wow, the size of this
00:09:21animal.
00:09:26Water has the ability to absorb, to
00:09:29cleanse, to migrate, move, that's nature's
00:09:31magic. To see sight like
00:09:34this gives you such incredible
00:09:37hope. When you put your mask on, you get
00:09:40into the water, you've just had this whole world open up to
00:09:44you. The ocean is still the greatest
00:09:47part of this planet. It's time to start giving
00:09:51back. You can wake up every morning with one single
00:09:54priority and save the most important place on Earth. Every one of us
00:09:58can create change and that starts really young. This is
00:10:01ambitious, it's bold, brave, and it's
00:10:04necessary.
00:13:42It's great to have again the governor, the governor's endorsement, but we have to go earn
00:13:46each and every single vote. It is the people, the
00:13:48voters that give me confidence, not only
00:13:52to win tomorrow, but to win on November
00:13:55third. Okay, so the polls open soon in the
00:13:59Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, another Democratic
00:14:02Socialist, Francesca Hong, looks to take down an establishment
00:14:06backed candidate. Now, three candidates have dropped out of this race,
00:14:10including David Crowley, before he rejoined the race and
00:14:14got the outgoing governor's endorsement. Hong has spent the
00:14:17closing days of her campaign answering for her past
00:14:19views, including calls to defund the police, abolish
00:14:23the US Senate, and cancel Thanksgiving. So it's up to
00:14:26Democratic voters weighing electability versus
00:14:30policy. The Democrats didn't get their act
00:14:34together to try to figure out who should
00:14:37be a viable candidate. What they're calling
00:14:40socialist policies aren't necessarily socialist. It's working for
00:14:44people. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a Democratic
00:14:46Socialist, but she's come up so
00:14:49strong, uh that I think she's going to scare people. I
00:14:53think that's why you're seeing, seeing maybe somebody who maybe has some
00:14:56bigger ideas, some bold ideas that might seem a little
00:14:59bit crazy. But it's like, hey, let's give it a
00:15:02shot. Let's give it a shot. Okay, so
00:15:06group chat is back. Wanted to talk about this for two reasons. Yes,
00:15:10Antoine, I will not say moderate Democrat. I know, or no, establishment.
00:15:14Establishment is now a slur in the authentic authenticity
00:15:17era. But I want to play this for you. Hong was talking about her
00:15:20past tweets, and here is how she responded um to
00:15:24have to defend them now.
00:15:27So I learned then you have some hot
00:15:30takes, sometimes bad takes on Twitter, and I let my feelings
00:15:34out into the world. And right now, as governor, what I'm most serious, serious about are
00:15:38the issues that voters are telling me they want solutions
00:15:41for. So can I ask you about this? Because the 2020s were
00:15:45a time and the hashtag #activism was a time and
00:15:48people were just like defund. Send you like, and it was
00:15:51everywhere. And now these same folks are trying to run
00:15:55for office and all this stuff is coming back. And how do you handle
00:15:58it? Do you say actually I didn't believe that or like she said, hey, they were just
00:16:02hot takes. Like help me understand how the progressive
00:16:06left is reckoning with its own legacy from the
00:16:092020s. Well, I think AOC, who was the leader, arguably the
00:16:13leader of the the progressive left, uh, you saw her, uh, you saw
00:16:17her this week, uh cite one of her colleagues, uh, Chi
00:16:20Ose from New York, who said woke one was
00:16:23crazy. And I think that's what you're seeing now. You're seeing
00:16:27them tack back a little bit toward the middle, right? You see the president
00:16:31and Republicans using the progressives
00:16:34and this fight between centuries, not established.
00:16:42And you see some of the progressive saying, wait a second, maybe we, you know, you
00:16:45see her mean Hong saying, do not want to defund the police. I like
00:16:49Thanksgiving. When when I saw that interview on
00:16:53Sunday, the pestivity in me rose to new
00:16:56levels, because I did not, did not think it was
00:16:59funny then. I don't think it's funny now because we as a party took
00:17:03an unnecessary beating for no reason because people want
00:17:08wanted to have this style versus suspect conversation. People wanted
00:17:11change and they thought being more combative was the way to
00:17:15do it. When I think back to that time and how people spoke to each other online at
00:17:19that time, Audit is of people who were searching for political
00:17:22relevance, searching for attention, and people
00:17:25thought that we our homework is great at the
00:17:29same as Republicans. That's not the case. What you say
00:17:33and what you do can and will be used against you in the court
00:17:36of public opinion. Union, when it comes to Democratic candidates, that does not
00:17:40apply to Republicans. So with that being said, in this moment where we're having
00:17:44similar style versus substance conversation, now the
00:17:47reality is starting to hit. We have to win general elections. We have to win
00:17:51outside of New York and blue state primaries. And so you have to make
00:17:54adjustments and spiting us. Well, uh, David Axelrod said something kind of
00:17:58similar to what you were saying. He said she's a font of Zany liberal faculty lounge
00:18:02Exotica. She responded in a tweet saying this way, this is an example
00:18:06of how the consultants con class keeps losing
00:18:09elections. They're totally clueless. She says I've spent more
00:18:11time in kitchens than in faculty lounges. And
00:18:15I think this pursuit of people who can who are wage workers, who
00:18:19can associate which wage workers continues. Republicans
00:18:22in the meantime spending a lot of money in support of her. You've
00:18:26got pro-Republican pacts including the Republican Governor's
00:18:29association spending money on her so that they
00:18:32can face her in November, which they
00:18:35the Democrats a bunch of times with MAGA candidates and sometimes
00:18:39those MAGA candidates just won. Yeah, but here's what I think, I do think she's going to
00:18:43win today, but I also think that she's a much different candidate than
00:18:47El-Sayed. I think else um he was on with us a couple weeks
00:18:50ago. He actually is a
00:18:53communicator. He actually connects with people much differently than she does.
00:18:57She struggles with that a little bit more. I think that she's a weaker
00:19:00candidate in general, no matter what her views are. But no one's
00:19:04talking about the fact, and if I were in Wisconsin today and...
00:19:07Democrats, I would be like, go and vote, because who lost in
00:19:11Michigan were the polls once again. I mean, they had Al-
00:19:14Sayed winning by 10 points. So if you were going
00:19:18to support Haley Stevens, you're like, why am I even going to go vote today? Well, I want to
00:19:22add that because it comes down to enthusiasm, and I want to play one more thing
00:19:25to come to you, Mario. David Crowley, who we said jumped out of the race, came back
00:19:29in. You only come back in if you got some numbers somewhere that tell you that's a good
00:19:33idea. Here is what he had to say on
00:19:35Monday.
00:19:37"and so many workers, so many farmers, rural communities, people of color,
00:19:41women, students, older folks, you name it, we
00:19:44haven't lifted up their voices to be able to be a part of the solutions. And that's what's
00:19:48different for my campaign. We've been able to build a type of coalition that's not
00:19:52only going to help us conquer on August 11th, but ultimately
00:19:55defeat an election denier from becoming our next governor here in
00:19:59Wisconsin." So I want to ask you, this Democratic Socialist
00:20:03movement has not addressed the issue of older
00:20:06black person, black voters or more moderate black voters or
00:20:10rural voters. They seem to be talking about expanding the
00:20:13electorate, not uh catering to the one that has
00:20:17sort of turned out in elections repeatedly. What are you going to be
00:20:20watching for? Well, it's exactly that, right? Does
00:20:23Francesca Hong, does she run up the numbers in places like Madison,
00:20:27right? How does she uh perform in places like Ashkash? David
00:20:31Crowley, how he performs in Milwaukee as well. To your point about
00:20:34black voters, we saw some of that play out last. last week with Haley
00:20:38Stevens over-performance. And if you speak to the to the Crowley
00:20:42campaign, that's what they're pointing to. They're saying to your point, Ashley,
00:20:46the polls last week were off. If we could overperform there,
00:20:50"and again, reaching out to black voters, reaching out to those rural
00:20:53voters. One of the things is AI data centers. And he's saying rather than
00:20:57eliminate them, let's figure out a way to uh harness some of that
00:21:01revenue and help it benefit some of those communities. But Mario, elections are
00:21:04about coalitions and constituencies. Yes, we have to have
00:21:07strong base turnout both in the primary and the general election. But you
00:21:11know else what else we have to have in Michigan and Wisconsin and all these
00:21:14battleground states. We have to win over some independent thinkers and we
00:21:18have to win over some more moderate Republicans because we have a
00:21:21multi-faceted coalition in the Democratic Party. Well, the debate is on
00:21:25about what it will take to do that. I want you to stay with me because we are going to talk about
00:21:29more of this election. Um, we are going to have Election Night in America
00:21:32here on CNN. There's primaries in six states, including
00:21:36South Carolina, where the race is to see who will take Senator Lindsey
00:21:40Graham's place on the November ballot. Antoine is
00:21:43watching that, and I hope he's going to be watching CNN for our special
00:21:47live coverage and analysis. Election Night in America
00:21:50begins tonight at 7:00 on CNN. You can also find
00:21:54that on the CNN app with all our breaking news. And coming
00:21:58up on CNN This Morning, this President Trump ordering changes
00:22:01to the childhood vaccine schedule. What this could
00:22:04mean for you in your family. And then I want to say good morning
00:22:08to our viewers in New York City, a live look at
00:22:10uptown.
00:22:20García Luna, because he is the highest-ranking former public official
00:22:23in Mexico to be tried and convicted
00:22:27in the United States for drug trafficking. It was
00:22:30incredible to be there listening to these
00:22:34testimonies and to be able to learn
00:22:37exactly how drug cartels
00:22:40operate and how they can operate with the
00:22:43support, often from government
00:22:46officials. Covering a federal trial in the United States is always
00:22:50a difficult task. You have to arrive at
00:22:53court very early to secure a
00:22:56seat inside the courtroom, but also because cameras are not allowed
00:23:00to record what is happening in the room,
00:23:04so you have to take notes. Imagine 8 hours
00:23:08taking notes on everything that is said, everything that happens,
00:23:12to be able to report it to you.
00:23:15You have 5 minutes, we have
00:23:19five things for you, a podcast with the five
00:23:23most important topics of the day.
00:26:32and influenza among others are no longer recommended for
00:26:36all children. Nothing bad can happen from what we're doing. Nothing
00:26:40bad can happen. So
00:26:42the Trump administration is changing the children's vaccine
00:26:46schedule. On Monday, the president signed an executive order that would
00:26:49reduce the total number of immunizations. So
00:26:53basically instead of 17 shots which are recommended, it would go down to
00:26:5611, dividing the vaccine schedule into three
00:27:00categories, and split the Mumps, Measles and Rubella
00:27:03shot, known as the MMR vaccine, into individual shots instead of
00:27:07just one. Now, there's little scientific evidence to support these
00:27:11changes. Broad confidence among Americans and vaccines like the
00:27:14MMR shot so far. But for parents, the question this morning
00:27:18is what to believe.
00:27:21Nothing has changed. The
00:27:25science behind vaccines is the same today as it was
00:27:28yesterday. The security that we have with vaccine
00:27:32safety has not
00:27:35changed. The risks that the children in this country face for
00:27:38vaccine preventable diseases has not changed. And when you have people in the
00:27:42United States in positions of authority that are feeding into
00:27:45confusion and fear, that is
00:27:47doing no service to those parents.
00:27:51Okay, Dr. Chris Parnell, Director of the NWACP Center for health
00:27:55equity and public, public health physician. Thank you so much for being
00:27:58here. Um, so I remember being a new parent, seeing
00:28:02the tray of needles and being like... We need to do all of these at once. And then the person
00:28:06would explain and say, yes, help us understand why the
00:28:09recommended schedule is what it
00:28:12is. Sure, good morning, Audi. I think what's most
00:28:16important for those of us in public health and healthcare is to
00:28:19reassure the public and
00:28:22reassure families and parents that
00:28:26vaccines are safe. Vaccines are effective.
00:28:29And that decisions around vaccines should be made by
00:28:33positions, healthcare providers, and scientists. And
00:28:37those decisions should be informed by
00:28:40years, decades of rigorous research and
00:28:44study. And time and time again, you've heard other
00:28:47physicians say it, and I will say it clearly this morning, this
00:28:51is settled science. There is no new
00:28:53information that suggests we should change the
00:28:57vaccine schedule. Okay, well, let me play for you what Trump has to say,
00:29:01Chris, because I think that it's actually quite common to hear, hear
00:29:05this argument that he's making. So let's give
00:29:07people a sample of it and see if they recognize
00:29:09it. Large amounts of
00:29:12vaccine, large amounts of like vats of
00:29:15vaccine are currently pumped
00:29:18into your child's body. And I saw this early
00:29:21on and I've seen proof of it where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the
00:29:25size of a bottle of soda poured into
00:29:28a little child's uh
00:29:31body. And bad things happen in many cas too many
00:29:34cases because this is an explosion. This is an
00:29:37epidemic.
00:29:40Okay, meanwhile, you had Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, who's a doctor,
00:29:43saying this on social media. He says breaking up vaccines will mean
00:29:47children have to get more shots to get the same
00:29:50protection, not fewer shots, and that it will increase
00:29:53hesitancy and make children safe. So help me out, because I'm already
00:29:57confused, right? Like first I hear we're getting a lower number of shots, then someone says actually
00:30:00it's more shots. Like... What what is the difference
00:30:03here? Yeah, I think it's most
00:30:07important to first say that babies' immune
00:30:10systems are very strong, very smart, and can
