8:01 am
visit coventry direct.com i'm more liebermann at the pentagon. >> and this cnn >> you were alive in the cnn newsroom. i'm jim acosta in washington. new questions as sporting about donald trump and extreme rhetoric well as incendiary comments lead his party to ruin for a contrast, take a look at president biden's easter message calling for peace, security, and dignity for people around the world trump's message this past weekend was unsurprisingly trumpian. he railed against the crooked and corrupt legal system unleashed as millions of followers on a federal judge's daughter and shared this far-right op-ed equating his legal troubles with the crucifixion. and all comes after he posted this video depicting the president,
8:02 am
president biden, that is being hogtied and the back of a pickup truck when pressed republicans once again, refused to condemn trump's actions i think everyone needs to tone down the rhetoric, the language and you know, obviously social media has become a vehicle by which to bludgeon people. i just think at the end of the day the former president, current president, and on down l, all of us have a responsibility to check our language, to watch what we're saying. >> joining me now is john bolton these the former un ambassador and national security adviser under donald trump. mr. ambassador, thank you very much for being with us this morning. you were national security adviser when the former president shares of video of the president, the current president being hogtied what's your response to that >> well, i think it's
8:03 am
unacceptable commentary for responsible person, but we've known for eight years now, trump's not are responsible person. he doesn't behave in a normal fashion. and you would've expected by now that the electorate would have rejected that kind of behavior decisively and clearly. and yet it hasn't happened. i can't explain it. i'm the first to admit it but simply saying we don't like what he says. also feeds into his narrative, but it's a real problem. i think there are other reasons for a lack of civility and american political discourse. trump is not the only one that's for sure, but he's a major factor and it's it's as bad now as i can remember. >> and just to follow up on that, i mean, we've seen violence take place after a trump has users rhetoric in different ways, whether it's a questioning the results of the election and whipping people up on january 6, i mean, there are other examples, obviously do
8:04 am
you have a concern that there might be a security issue for the president for president biden when the former president is sharing stuff like that well, there's an argument about whether violence in movies contributes to violence in society. i think it's a hard argument to make. i think in trump's case though, because there are people who are excessively loyal and the way they follow him, that it's possible, it could trigger behavior figure i think i think you have to look at it more specifically, again, a normal person are responsible candidate might acknowledge that this risk existed, but don't count on trump doing it. that's for sure. >> and when he's equating when he's putting out posts, that equates his legal troubles with the crucifixion. you are as national security adviser does he have a messianic complex >> i think that gives him too much credit. i mean, i think i think he sees himself as the as the ultimate victim and in a
8:05 am
perverse transformation of the parties, he's trying to make republicans, people believe that they're the ones being victimized i just because he is this is a long way from ronald reagan's. it's morning in america approach to campaigning. it sure doesn't look like jack camp. it looks like the party of grievance which i think is is not the republican party that is not the way to win elections for the right kind of republican party i did want to ask you about this. i'm sure you saw this cvss 60 minutes is reporting that that havana syndrome that mysterious illness has plagued a lot of national security employees of the us government 60 minutes is reporting that it's somehow linked to russian intelligence. we should note cnn has been investigating the specifics of this report. we last reported that the us intelligence community can't make a link between these cases and a foreign adversary. you were national security adviser when
8:06 am
some of this was cropping up the kremlin denies it. what's your take on all this, mr. ambassador, is there something to this? might the russians be behind it >> yeah. look, when i was national >> security advisor, i was briefed on this. i was very concerned about it. i did then and do now think that there's very likely some hostile adversary behavior here, whether it's russia, china, maybe somebody else more than likely russia >> i don't >> think the government, frankly, when i was there took it seriously enough. i don't think they've taken seriously enough since then. i commend cbs for going after. i think you should continue to go so after two because the danger that the russians are any adversary could actually perfect this kind of weapon. the damage it could do to our troops to high government officials and a time of crisis is very, very concerning and i just think people swept the decide too quickly. some of the people who were affected actually were national security council staff when i was there. and the idea that these people
8:07 am
had some kind of psychosomatic experience was not credible to me. so i think we've just got to keep looking and do the russians have this kind of capability? what do you make of the technology that was apparently used and some of these instances >> well, it's a matter of dispute what it was, but we know that the russians have used directed energy efforts against our embassy in moscow in years past the speculation this time on 60 minutes was acoustical devices i think directed energy is probably more likely, but this is the kind of thing if they are out thinking that and were not prepared to have adequate defenses or developed our own offensive capability to deter them. i think we could be put at a serious disadvantage. this sounds like something our adversaries have tried before, and i just think we gave up too easily. the bar was too low
8:08 am
when this first came up. >> and just quickly, finally, what should the administration do if it is found to be russia? that's behind this >> well, i think certainly we need to take stronger steps against them then just talking about how serious this is. i mean, i think this administration is to deterred by moscow already and if we find they've been, i think they're experimenting on americans. i think that's where these attacks have come from. at least that's what the evidence points to. and i think we need to make it clear. it's unacceptable and it would tell me we need that capacity to all right ambassador john bolton, as always. thank you so much >> thanks for having. >> all right. in the meantime, ahead of tomorrow's primary and wisconsin president biden is facing headwinds with black voters. they were key to his slim victory in 2020. now, there are signs that trump is making inroads and threatening to chip away at this key, a part of presidents winning coalition. cnn's isaac deavere
8:09 am
has the details. isaac how big of a concern is this inside the biden campaign? i mean, i have to think that we don't want to say it out loud, but they are internally concern. >> it's a major concern. look, they look at the cnn exit polls, 2016 8% of black voters going for donald trump, 2020, 12%. we've written some recent polls that show higher numbers in that looking that way for this year's election. but the bigger concernrn is black voter staying home, opting out of the process entirely the president himself has been really focused on this vice president kamala harris is going to be focused on this more and more over the year. she's gonna be doing a special tour of the country talking about economic opportunity for black men. but there's also a lot going on on the campaign really rethinking how to approach black voters. i was in milwaukee talking with people they are on the ground about what they're doing and what they said to me is some of the ways that they've been reaching community organizing, changing that up asking volunteers to just start texting people directly from their phones. they've reached
8:10 am
50% of the people that they've reached that way. did not get contacted by any campaign in 2020 2022, those are huge numbers for the biden campaign to try to tap into. and they need it because it's milwaukee, wisconsin, very close state the closest state in 2016? and in 2021 after the other. and in all of these places around the country, pretty much every battleground state that president biden is hoping to win and needs to win for a second term is place where there's a concentration of black voters. detroit and michigan philadelphia and pittsburgh, pennsylvania, charlotte in north carolina atlanta, and georgia. that's why this is on their minds. >> yeah, north carolina is definitely on the biden campaign i'm sure that as a state, everybody has to watch in the coming days, isaac, as always, great reporting. thanks so much. let's discuss war now, a cnn political commentators, bakari sellers, and i sure michael singleton bakari, let me start with you first. what do you make of all this? i mean, we hear from the biden campaign, we're not worried about the polls. the polls will be fine. pull the council's election day and so on. but i mean, as isaac was
8:11 am
saying, they are concerned about this very key part of biden's winning coalition yeah i did >> both things can be true. look look polls at this point in time, aren't really worth the paper they're written on. however, some polls can show you if they're warning signs or blinkers that need to be on in your campaign. and one of those is with black voters there's not much concern that black voters are going to vote for trump. i think you've seen some very misguided reporting on this belief that all of a sudden donald trump is going to take home 2020, 5% of the black vote. he's just not. >> but there is >> a concern, as isaac said, that black voters will choose the couch and simply stay at home for very long period of time. black voters, in particular black women, have carried the democratic party. and there is some sense of fatigue and a question of resources coming to our respective communities. and so joe biden, the democratic party, everybody running up and down the ballot have to meet these voters where they are and not tell them why they shouldn't vote for donald trump, but tell them why they
8:12 am
should vote for joe biden again yeah, sure. >> michael, what's going on here? >> yeah. me like i think that a lot of african-american voters to bakari is point are not happy, are satisfied with what they've seen this past four years. from president biden. now, we saw that they could not pass to george floyd justice and policing act in the united states senate. a lot of african-american where can the younger voters in my age group in a millennia, we're really hopeful that you will see more in terms of student loan forgiveness, which we know most economists argued really benefit african-american young innovation because in particularly as we really look at the wealth disparities between black americans and white americans. so i think on some very consequential issues, a lot of african americans don't feel that the president i really made his mark. now i will say this. i'm not convinced just like makari, that you'll see 25% of african-americans. all of a sudden voting for former president donald trump. but as you did see in the reported from isaac 2016 to 2020, saw 4% increase. is it mathematically possibly see a two or 3%
8:13 am
increase, particularly among black men. i certainly think within those margins it's possible depending on what type of targeting and engagement you see come from the trump campaign. >> yeah. i mean, bacardi, i mean, as isaac was saying a few moments ago, when you talk about places like philadelphia, atlanta a charlotte, the biden campaign. i mean, you might be able to speak to this. >> they are really >> very focused on north carolina this time around a lot of folks might say, well, what's going on there. that's actually, i think doable for joe biden the summer depending on how this campaign goes. but as you know, because it just takes a sliver here, a sliver there may come down to several thousand votes in one of these key states, especially with an rfk junior and cornel west on the ballot. you just don't know how it's going to break down. >> that's true i mean, there's a great deal of concern and you're right about the state of north carolina, i think watching the results from north carolina early in the night will be able to tell you in project what's going to happen in that race. north carolina is very unique you call it it, you have places like charlotte. you have greensboro, you have winston salem. you have the research
8:14 am
triangle where there are loads of black voters, particularly black men. >> but >> there's also another strand of black voters that doesn't get talked about often we gotta do a better job just identifying them, but that's rule voters. rule black voters, particularly along the coast of north carolina. i'm gonna be very important in this race. the white house understands that. and one of the things that they're doing differently than past campaigns and i give all the praise, the julie rodriguez, who is just amazing without julie rodriguez, i'm not sure this campaign is actually going in a straight line, but, but they've, they've been focusing early on on messaging, meeting people where they are for long period of time a lot of times my white progressive friends, they run these campaigns. they start wooing black voters at high school football games after labor de, just saying, come vote for us again, and that's just not the way you do it. people are tired of that type of outreach so what the campaign is doing now is brick by brick, early on showing individuals and telling individuals why you should vote for us >> yeah, sure. mike, i mean, one of the problems that donald trump has those he's made these series just racist statements
8:15 am
earlier this year. he said that criminal indictments were boosting his appeal to black voters. i mean, he we can talk about joe biden needing a percent here, a percent there. he needs to make make contacts with constituencies that he had in his in his corner of the last time around. trump, it seems to have a much higher hurdle. just based on some of the things that his me just over the weekend he's got an he's re-posting an image of the president at the current president being hogtied in the back of a pickup truck? yeah. i mean, i just want it doesn't matter who you are, what you are that is offensive to just about everybody was yeah. just talked about today with alison, colorado. it is a problem. right. but i think again, when you look at african american voters particular, i think they're principally concerned about issues just like every other voter from the economy, education haven't safe communities, safer streets, better access to health care. and if you're a black man, i think blackman really do want
8:16 am
economic system sustainability. they want to see a ladder for them to be able to climb economically so that they can provide for themselves, their families, their communities. and i think whomever articulates that best case is going to be the individual as seize those numbers on their side now, to donald trump, the idea that because he's facing these criminal indictments as somehow makes him palatable to black men is such an insult and i've tried to tell a lot of my republican friends, this is not how you target black men and talk about the issues not making hello, justice system about this. when i think a lot of them will say the president's be in the president. we're going to do the campaign work on the ground and you do see jim a difference from the president, president's rhetoric to the actual campaign operation, which is sending out a drastically different message from what you see on truth social, from the former president >> yeah >> because i mean, i just think that it's a pretty high bar when you're making these kinds of comments. and we could talk
8:17 am
about, well, biden has to do this by desk to do that. i mean that's that's a tough hill climb >> yeah. but like i said earlier, biden's not competing with donald trump for those votes for the same reason that you said, i think that people, the problem is people know who donald trump is. we know him to be xenophobic. we know him to be raised, as he said, those things thanks he said those remarks, we become decently be sensitized. if you go out and say, did you hear what donald trump just say it this week and the barbershop, nobody is really going to care about that because that's kind true that's, that's the fundamental problem. and so joe biden has to articulate joe biden's message you can't win races in this country anymore by telling any, any vote or how bad the opposition is, people know that already >> all right to be continuing to keep this conversation going. that's for sure the couch that is definitely a force if you record with this time around because you should michel guys, thanks so much. really appreciate it. >> before we go to break it's a >> dramatically changed the conversation and a positive

>> a developing story we're following this, our gaza civil defense says at least 300 bodies have been found at the al-shifa hospital after an intense two weeks siege by israeli forces. cnn, we should note, cannot independently verify those numbers. israel has said it went into the hospital because armed militants were using it today, high level virtual talks are expected between the us and israel about potential military operations in rafah, us official tells cnn that secretary career state antony blinken will be leading the us side and cnn political and global affairs analyst barak ravid joins us now brock give us some context on these talks and why they're being held virtually, i guess, there were going to be some person to person to talks, but i guess current events gotten the way. tell us more >> yes. well, you know, you remember that those meetings was supposed to take place last week with benjamin netanyahu canceling the departure of
8:24 am
these very delegation a day before as sort of a protest to the us decision not to veto a security council result pollution calling for a ceasefire in gaza and the release of all hostages ateneo was very upset and use this us decision as a pretext for canceling the delegation only to restore the talks about the delegation a day later and in order to save face, this was the solutions was found that on the one hand, there will be a meeting will be a virtual one on a secure video conference call. but on the other hand, attorney, i will be able to say that he didn't send a delegation to washington, but i think this is only the first meeting, a follow-up meeting is already in the works next week in washington in-person at the world's yeah, but barack, i mean yahoo is kind of drawing a line in the sand, almost doubling down over the weekend, saying that there can be no victory over hamas without a military operation in rafah
8:25 am
that doesn't exactly set the table for sort of open-minded talks between us and israeli officials >> well you know i don't know about you. i tend to not take every word and danielle was saying is the most credible thing in the world he has quite long track record of not being the most credible person in the world. and when i look at the last two months yesterday, was the fourth time. okay. in two months that netanyhau's said that he approved the operation in rafah if we're he says that he approved an operation four times, but the operations still didn't happen. that raises a lot of questions on whether there's real intention to go forward with the operation or that it's very convenient for domestic political reasons to continue on floating this idea every other day yeah. >> i mean, then that leads me to this question. we saw moos abel talking about this in the previous hour. we're seeing these anti netanyahu
8:26 am
demonstrations coming back. there are some in israel today >> what do you think of that? is >> that is it possible that we're coming back to a place? where he is sort of teetering on the edge of being forced out of power. what's going on >> well, i'm not sure i would go that far, but definitely what we saw over the weekend was a significant increase in the protest against that ano, the big demonstrations since october we're seventh, calling for elections, calling for netanyahu to resign. this something we haven't seen for a long time, because the israeli public went out to the streets before the war, failed it while the war was going on, it wasn't the right thing to do. but now when you see people changing their minds and saying no oh, you we sat quietly, we were focused on the war. our kids are brothers or sisters were fighting, but now six months later, we think it's time to have a political change
8:27 am
in the country and we start seeing those things more and more all right, barack ravid, some fascinating developments. thanks for the insights as always, we appreciate it. >> thank you >> all right. some breaking news and to cnn from south carolina disbarred attorney and convicted murderer or alec murdoch we're just sentenced in federal court, two 40 years in prison. this comes after he pleaded guilty last year, nearly two dozen charges of conspiracy, fraud, and money laundering. he's already serving 27 years after pleading guilty in state courts. similar crimes, and that's an addition to the two life sentences he received. last year for the murders of his wife and 22 year-old son, of course, will be following on all of that and bring you those developments as they come in. we learn more. stay with us. i had for that, i still had this hour. if you drive up a drive-through in california today, the person flipping your burgers, serving your meal, doing that very hard

8:33 am
could land on the house floor as soon as next week. but the house gop remains deeply divided on any new money for ukraine at this point, cno chief political correspondent anchor of inside politics, dana bash joins us now. and then, sometimes having trouble separating the performative from what's real >> yeah. >> why why why am i saying that? but i mean, the speaker says he's going to bring this aid peg or it sounds like he's going to bring this aid package to the four. but that could trigger a whole right? cavill kd of things. what do we know? well it's the fact that the speaker said last night on fox that he is going to bring it is a big deal for lots of reasons. the first, first and foremost, it's a big deal for ukraine because they have been begging for this and we all know what's going on over there and that they feel that they are they are completely hamstrung without the help from the us when it comes to johnson's
8:34 am
domestic politics one of the reasons he is not been able to do it really the key reason is because of the right-flank up his party, some of whom just philosophically or more with donald trump right now. and they oppose the notion of giving more us taxpayer dollars. there are others say it's okay to do, but we need some offsets. so in fact that he says that he is going to do it is is noteworthy and it could trigger the the move by marjorie taylor greene, who threatened or made an initial move before they went on easter recess to vacate the chair or to oust him, to vote to oust him and she said that whether she will do that could depend on this very question of johnson moving to ukraine funding bill, right? >> and he's only hanging on by a couple of votes, theoretically speaking this comes up when and how other republicans responding to what marjorie taylor greene is sent because this is interesting. yeah. so i interviewed mike lawler,
8:35 am
>> who's one of the most votes i'm not house republicans, a majority-maker. he is from new york and he was very blunt about his views on this kind of sowing of chaos as he put it, that marjorie taylor greene is enacting >> i can't speak for her obviously, she has introduced it. she has not yet made it privileged but as i said, the day that she introduced it, it's idiotic and it's not going to actually help advance the cause that she believes in. and in fact, it undermines our house republican majority undermines our house. republican majority because he's in a place where the un, i actually saw this >> district not that far away when i went up to do a story on tom suozzi, who is the now democrat. and that special election in the race to replace george santos heard from a lot of people up there who said
8:36 am
they just want congress to do their jobs to do a job, to get things done, right? and that is the opposite. sit of what a potential for ousting another speaker would signal to the constituents that mike lawler is trying to retain as voters again, in order to get back to washington and others in districts like him >> yeah. and apparently the speaker has been strategizing with matt gaetz. >> you just can't make this >> did not have that on my bingo card. >> this for 2024. this is such great >> reporting from our colleagues, including a melanie zanona and manu raju, and that is the case that obviously matt gaetz was a member of what kevin mccarthy called the crazy eight, who got rid of him marjorie taylor greene at the time was pro mccarthy, right? and so everything is kinda switching jersey is right now.
8:37 am
yeah, that's a good way to put it and so now, what our colleagues are reporting is that the current speaker who is not exactly like a swiftkey rhino. i mean, he's, is a tried and true conservative. i don't think anybody would say anything different that he is getting the help strategically of matt gaetz? yeah >> all right. well, it's not often we hear >> hear the term strategy used when it comes to mac aids. so very interesting. >> well, we did oust the speaker. >> he did oust the speaker. >> strategy of sorts. you are dana, thanks a lot. appreciate it. be sure to watch biden at the top of the hour on inside politics that starts at noon here on the east coast. so stay tuned for that all right. >> and oh, i shouldn't. we're not going to break. excuse me. i do this morning a milestone for fast food workers beginning today, california's requiring larger fast-food operators to pay their employees $20 dollars an hour, seen as the tasha chen is outside of mcdonald's and los angeles up forgiving
8:38 am
natasha. via throw you off there the tasha taught, let's talk about this because a lot of folks are wondering, is this going to lead to higher prices and salma, california, they have gone ahead and done this and now workers who do a lot of hard work in these types of businesses, they're gonna be making more money i'll jim the bottom line is yes, there is going to be an effect on the menu prices. some franchise owners have already told me in the past few months, they've already increased prices about four to 7% across the board in anticipation of today, when they had to pay more for their workers. so you're going to see that, but there is a limit they tell me they can't just charge $20 for a happy meal. there's a limit to what the customer will pay. so in some cases, i'm being told some people will cut back worker hours, some people will implement new technology like using self-service kiosks or ai in the drive-thru to accommodate for this change. now this does apply for any owner of a fast food restaurant
8:39 am
chain with more than 60 nationwide located patients. so if you're a mom and pop with just one store, you don't have to do this, but you do have to compete for the same workers. so that may increase wages across the board. workers we've talked to say this is a huge win. this has been hard fought for several years. i've been following this one worker, for example, works at a mcdonald's with her mother, her father's construction worker they've been in the same apartment since the 90s and she's hoping that today this will help them move to a more comfortable place. that perhaps she can afford to buy coffee once in a while. but for business owners, this is a huge, huge increase. all of a sudden because if you take a look at the minimum wage in california as of january at $16 federal minimum wage, a lot lower, but that hasn't changed since 2009 but changing from 16 to 20. let's hear what he had to say >> this is such extraordinary,
8:40 am
unprecedented territory that 15,000 businesses in california are about to embark on i think that to understand where this what the repercussions are going to be would really be a guess >> and this bill also comes with a fast food counsel who could increase this wage annually based on inflation all right. attached you can. and it's expensive to live out in california, so you can understand why those workers would want to raise. all right. natasha, thank you very much. still had this our anti-kremlin hackers avenging the death of alexey navalny by breaching russian prison databases cnn's exclusive reporting on all of that. that's next get your viewing glasses ready and experience so rare, it won't happen again for another two decades. joint cnn for live coverage around the country of the spectacle in the skies, eclipse across america live

8:46 am
prisoner names and then people actually incarcerated in russia that we confirmed. so rebel to verify that, but there were a lot of layers for the reporting because this is a delicate subject. >> and >> we don't know exactly who we're dealing with at first. so this is indeed a stunning breach because we're talking about 800,000 people, some of whom were incarcerated and their relatives, and the gold akre say is to find out more about what happened to navalny in his final hours on earth. and that could mean contacting relatives, someone who might know him. they also, jim change the prices in the prison online shop where relatives buy food for inmates to one ruble, which is about one cents. so they did they couldn't provide goods for free, but they saw a mass produce are purchasing. once our ordinary russians realized that the haq had taken place. so a lot going on. one of the most high-profile, politically

york >> cnn >> all right. take a look at your screens right now. trump's media stock is down 18%, right there. you can see it. it has been dropping throughout the morning. this comes after the company that owns truth social posted financial numbers. this morning, cnn's matt egan joins me now matt, this is no april fools joke. but it might be making some fools out of investors out there jimmy. >> it might be, we should note though that this stock really had been going up like a rocket ship until now, these new numbers are forcing a mini reality check. i say many because despite the loss of 18% as we speak, we're still talking about a stock that has skyrocketed about 200% so far this year, it's biked in january when donald trump ran away with the iowa caucuses and up again as the company went public. so here's the latest numbers that are concerning investors. truth, social owner trump media lost $58 last year,
8:53 am
and it generated very, very little revenue, just $4.1 million in revenue. put some context of that figure of revenue. if you look back at what twitter generated when it went public about a decade ago. and that final year when it went public, $665 million more than 100 times what trump media has been able to rake in some of this is not shocking because we know so the truth, social is struggling. i mean, it is shrinking monthly active us users on ios and android down 51% year over year, it's not just much smaller than twitter. it's even smaller than threads. and i think all of this just underscores why there's a lot of warnings out there about the stock, right? one professor told me it's a bubble, another basically called it a meme stocks of jim, listen, we're going to see the stock go up and down because it's valuation right now is very, very high. >> yeah. what a shocker that this is a meme stock all right.
