might that be a problem? might there be an impact on the liver? but sort of a broader concern, kate, with psychedelic trials is that it's very hard to do a blinded trial. people generally know when they're getting the psychedelic versus when they're getting a placebo, right? unlike a lot of other medications. so can you really do a blinded trial? in fact, they asked the participants in these groups afterward, do you know what you actually received? and in the mdma group, the vast majority of people knew that they got at 94%, i believe knew that they actually, we're getting that mdma and the placebo group, most of the people knew that they weren't getting it so that's the real concern. i've been reporting on this for a long time. we spoke to this it's woman over ten years ago, rachel, who is part of one of the early trials as a young child, she had been abused, she had been raped, she had post-traumatic stress, never really got any relief and then joined this trial for mdma

again, this is over ten years ago. just look at a little bit of what happened to her during and that session this is the place where we do the study. >> this is where we meet with people and then this is where we do the mdma sessions intense psychotherapy including eight hour sessions after taking a capsule of mdma i've ecstasy. i listen closely on this tape. you can hear rachel along with dr. missile keep driving i've felt as if my whole brain was powered up like a christmas tree all the ones we've look at, you know, there's gonna be a lot of focus on this again, she essentially was describing a reset of her brain and within weeks, 90% of her symptoms which had been with her whole life, adult life when away. and that's what the advisory committee meeting is going to be talking about today. kate i mean, huge potential, especially as you well point out, it's been 25 years since there's been a new new medical

treatment out for pts, it's really amazing. sandi, it's great to see you. thank you so much. and then a new our i've seen a new central starts now laying out their case. opening statements are about to begin in the federal gun trial of hunter biden and new details on how prosecutors plan to use very personal testimony to make their case to the jury and do this morning, president biden, telling time magazine in a new interview, he is uncertain whether israel has committed war crimes in gaza and mirrored garland fighting back his message to republican lawmakers. this morning, i will not be intimidated. >> the hearing that's about to get underway, i'm katie balden with john berman, sara sidner is out today. >> this is cnn news central

alright juliet, any moment now, opening statements will begin at hunter biden's federal gun trial. the 54-year-old arrived at the courthouse just a few minutes ago prosecutors will begin laying out their case this morning. we do know so the special counsel will call about a dozen witnesses to the stand in a new court filing. we learned that three of those witnesses are hunter biden's former romantic partners, cnn's paula reid. outside the court this morning. follow what are you expecting to see well, down just a few moments ago, the first lady, jill biden, arrives here at court. >> that is especially notable because she is scheduled to head to france with her husband this evening, but she's still here today to show support for her stepson as this trial gets underway, notice short time. we expect to your opening statements from defense attorneys prosecutors. this is their opportunity to lay out their theory of this case before the jury. let's talk a little bit about this jury is

really interesting yesterday, the jury selection process and many ways, it was a reminder finder of america's a drug addiction epidemic, because the vast majority of potential jurors said that yes, they had some experience with drug addiction when it came to a loved one or even themselves. now the eventual jury is comprised of six men, six women. the majority of this jury is black, are several gun owners on the jury, including one juror who says, even if you've smoked marijuana, you still you have the right to own a firearm and several of the jurors who said that they have experienced with loved ones and drug addiction also made it on the jury. so today though, you're opening statements and then once those wrap up, the first witness we expect to hear from is an fbi agent who worked on this case. now this is one of several federal agents who will likely testify during this case in addition to some of hunters romantic partners. so this case is expected to last anywhere from three to four days to two weeks. unclear how

this is going to turn out that this jury, several sources close to 100 providing say they believe it's favorable for them, but we'll see john good to have you there. paula reid, keep us posted. thank you very much. >> and joining us right now to talk about where things are headed today. cnn legal analyst and criminal defense pence, attorney joey jackson, and also criminal defense attorney bill brennan. thanks for being here, guys. joy, what are you expecting from openings or what needs to happen in openings? >> yeah. kate, good morning to you when william lesson the bottom line is that it's about the battle of narratives. if you're the prosecutor, it's pretty straightforward. there are laws and those laws need to be applied to all. and if you're addicted, you you cannot indicate on a form that you're not a purchase a weapon that would be called a lie. so to be an illegal possession of that firearm makes you guilty. if you are on the flip side, the defense, this is about the demineralization of an addict. this is about stamping on someone where they're down. this is about shaming someone and you million and we should be here. the reality is, is that you're going to learn a number of things. did he formed

that is hunter biden, the mental states such that he would intentionally do this. are those forms even reliable? can you put your trust in them? and at the end of the day, i think you'll find that we are society that should be uplifting attics, not attempting for people who don't believe that they're addicts at the time to criminalize them. he's not guilty at all. it'll be the battle of the narratives, kate and the courtroom today off right where joy left off. bill, we as paul was laying out, six men, six women on this jury, many of them who saying they have had experienced in their lives connection with addiction, which let's be honest, is representative of society today there's not one family really hasn't been touched by addiction. one of the jurors includes a woman who said that she has las many friends to drug addiction. how does that impact the approach here? >> well, good morning. good morning, joey. i think it impacts the approach in favor of the defense. i pick juries regularly when there's a drug

issue or drug overreach, you're over a lay to the case. i find jurors to be very authentic. as you said, kate, i can't think of a family my own included that hasn't had if not directly peripherally, at least some involvement or some experience with someone drug addict as joey said, in his defense narrative we're not here to demonize. we're here to uplift i think that there's a legitimate chance of jury nullification here because people are going to be empathetic to this situation. and i think of the defense hits hard that what was his state of mind when he filled the format as joey said, these forms are unreliable. did he check the box? did somebody else check the box? there's a lot to work with for the defense and joy we touched on this yesterday, but the fact that the judge told the defense him they can't call an expert witness that would get at that question of the fact that their approach was

hundred biden did not think he was an addict at the time of filling out the form with regard to that question? >> they cannot call that witness if that's now the reality that they're facing to the defensive need to shift strategy is very quickly or yes. >> so what happens, kate is not really, i'll tell you why. now i think that certainly they should have been permitted to call an expert to give a deeper dive with respect to addiction. what is the impacts? what does it do? how does a person feel? how does a person react? they can't do that. so what do you do? you readjust and i think with regard to jury selection, that was the readjustment. you have jurors who are very empathetic, who have two bills indication experiences with this addiction. and as a result of that, they know the face of it. they've been involved in it. and i think they could be under standing and they could be empathetic to that. and that could carry the day for the defense with regard to a narrative of shame and humiliation and the fact that we should be here in the first instance, and we've also learned from filings, bill new details about the prosecution's the prosecution's case that

they're gonna be building in this filing overnight. they released they've with it was text messages and photos that they plan to show to the jury and also a plan they expect to call three of hunter biden's former romantic partners what do you make of this? >> well this case, if it's looked at clinically, if this jury just goes in there and robotically looks at the evidence, there's a form. the form is checked. he presumably checked it. he had a drug issues and he'll be found guilty, but i don't think jurors do that. jurors are you? human they don't leave their humanity or common sense at the door and they're going to hear from people involved with the defendant former romantic partners. i believe one witness is the former wife of his late brother, which with whom he had a relationship within. this is going to be compelling and powerful testimony because these witnesses called by the prosecution? i'm sure have love and affection for the

defendants, so this will be palpable and this will come through to that jury and the more humanity that the defense can spread into that jury box and better chance. there will be a hung jury or an acquittal with that in mind it's rare a defense attorney would recommend a defendant take the stand, but to talk about the humanity of it. do you think it could be a good strategy to bring hunter biden? so it's it's always kate a game time decision. >> you see how the case is playing out. you get the nation during tenor of what's around you. i'm always reluctant to have a defendant testify at brings up a pandora's box. your case can be going very well with regard to reasonable doubt with respect to the form and its authenticity or lack thereof, with regard to the jury buying the notion that he wasn't addicted at the time, he was really struggling and trying to overcome. and so what opens up a big problem in the event he testifies? and let's not forget case. kate, that we are in delaware and you have a largely african american jury. i think those are facts does that in nor to the defendant, mr. biden's benefit? >> that's great to see joe.

in a new interview with time magazine president, president biden says he, quote, is uncertain whether israel has committed war crimes in gaza. >> cnn's arlette saenz, she's got more from the white house in the president also did push back against the icc is seeking arrest warrants against israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but tell us more about what this now statement means and what it does is he creating a new riff with ally israel? >> well that's a big question, kate and president biden did not rule out the possibility that israel has committed war crimes as is conducted its campaign to root out hamas in gaza. this is significant if again, at a time with the administration has increasingly expressed frustration with the way that israel has conducted its war. but at the same time, the president in this time magazine interview also pushed back on the international criminal court, whose prosecutor has said he is seeking arrest warrants of top

israeli officials let's including israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity. now i want to read you a bit of what president biden said in this interview when he was asked point-blank whether he believes israel has committed war crimes, the president said, quote, the answer is, it's uncertain and has been investigated by the he israelis themselves, the icc is something that we don't we don't recognize. he went on to say, but one thing is certain the people in gaza, the palestinians have suffered greatly for lack of food, water, medicine, et cetera. and a lot of innocent people have been killed. but it is, and a lot of it has to do not just with israelis, but what hamas is doing and israel, as we speak, hamas is intimidating that population. now the president, also in this interview acknowledged criticisms of netanyahu as some have charged, that he has prolonged this war for his own political benefit. the president in this interview said he would not comment on

that, but added there is every reason for people to draw that conclusion. now this interview notably was conducted one day before president biden outlined the broad contours of that israeli proposal. a three-phase proposal that could lead to a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages. i'm actually told national security adviser jake sullivan this morning here at the white house, will be meeting with the families of the american hostages still being held in gaza. but this all comes as president biden is urging israel, urging netanyahu to put an end to this war. he says that hamas, their capabilities to conduct another large scale october 7 style attack have largely been degraded because of israel's efforts. and so he's encouraged and pushed the israelis to work towards some type of deal to secure the end of this war and also secure the release of hostages. of course, the white house has said that they are waiting for hamas to respond to that proposal. >> and really quickly that's deaths president biden speaking about israeli prime minister

benjamin netanyahu and more, we also is taking a donald trump in a whole new way when he was at a fundraiser last night yeah. >> president biden is really escalating his rhetoric against former president donald trump specifically when it relates to the legal cases that he is facing, the white house or the campaign, i should say. and president biden have really been hesitant in recent then months to weigh in specifically on the legal cases. they don't want to give any perception of political interference, but in a off-camera fundraiser last night in greenwich, connecticut, the president specifically referred to donald trump for the very first time as a convicted felon, he warned the trump is trying to wage a full-out assault on the american justice system as you have heard, the former president called the election, this court proceeding, the verdict rigged. now it all comes as the president is preparing to face off against trump in that first debate. in the coming weeks. and another thing that biden said in this closed-door can raise or

off-camera fundraiser, i should say, he tried to warn that a second trump term would be more dangerous than the first he said, quote something snapped in him when he lost in 2020. he can't accept he lost and it is literally driving him crazy throughout this campaign, trump has made it clear he is running to it exact revenge with the president is trying to do in these types of remarks, they weren't an off-camera fundraiser, potentially row testing for campaign rallies down the road, but it adds to his arguments, are trying to provide further evidence that trump is unfit for office and should not be elected for for a second term. >> well, it's time for the white house. thank you. john are you with us now? >> a cnn senior political commentator, andrew navarro and former south carolina state representative and cnn political commentator, bacardi sellers. and i'm going to first you because you're here with me and standing up and i appreciate that heel in heels? >> which i only sometimes we're listen. president biden use the words convicted felon, albeit at a fundraiser without cameras, but how big of a deal is that he's saying it out loud?

>> i'm not surprised and i think this is the appropriate thing for him to listen whatever republicans doing republicans, trump world are trying to paint this as a political persecution. that is managed and directed by biden. this is biden trying to put his opponent in jail. that's all a lie. we all know that this is not a federal case. this is a state case and a joe biden had absolutely nothing to do with it. but if he starts playing into that using his official role, right. he's not doing it from the presidential podium. he's not doing it from the east room. he's not doing unimpressed conferences. he's doing it behind closed doors in front of donors. he's giving them the red meat that they want. i think it's the right and appropriate place for him to do it. he's walking a fine line. >> bacardi, do you think that that's a distinction right there? and would you do more i mean, he's technically and how a convicted felon until after there's an entry of judgment when there's a sentencing hat. >> so beyond that technicality,

i do think that it's a fat. and so when the president does become a convicted felon i do not have a problem with the president of the united states. the current president of the united states actually saying facts. i mean, this has been a fact-free environment for so long after this sentence is entered, the question will be, is donald trump a convicted felon? the answer is yes. and so when you're describing your opponent you want people to describe you you really in the fact that he is now a felon is an accurate description. and so i think it also ties into deeper political issues. i mean, we talk about on the show all the time with my friends from the right, wanting to make this a law and order election or talking about how we have criminals have run rampant throughout the country are large blue cities and it's really hard to do that when the leader of your party has run a foul of the law and been found guilty on 34 counts with three more trials yet to go so do you think there's any amount of using those wars that would be too much picard no, it's a fact. like, i mean, if somebody's like, oh, my god, he's so handsome. oh my god, he's so tall. and that's how

they want to characterize me. i mean, i'm fine with that because that's a fact. the fact is donald trump's that can get a felon. i mean, i have no issue with that whatsoever. >> my, tall, handsome colleague yeah. >> you making a point. >> i'm not quite sure how that slipped in there, but what i'd like to i'd like to call the tall wow. yeah when we all we just searched more let on the time magazine interview, the president biden did and there was this comment about benjamin netanyahu in there where president biden was asked about implications that the israeli prime minister might be extending the war on gaza for political reasons, biden responded, there is every reason for people to draw that conclusion what do you think about that you know, there's people in israel who israelis, who feel that way, but there's a difference between being somewhat in israel and being the leader of a different nation. saying that though look, i think this is one of

the most complicated issues that the world is dealing with. and certainly joe biden as dealing with and it's very hard for him because he has been a staunch supporter of israel his entire career no conditions but that doesn't mean that you think yet netanyahu is infallible. that doesn't think mean that you support what netanyahu is doing in some of the decisions that he's making. and that doesn't mean that joe biden should not be using every lever he has to exert pressure on netanyahu to come up with a deal to follow through with this peace negotiation that's on the table right now because then you who's coming here to the united states, what's the risk of saying something like that about him? >> albeit biden not commenting while he sort of half commenting. what are the risks for biden and doing that i mean, first i juxtapose it on the fact that there's united states congress didn't allow the president of kenya to address the joint congress. >> just a couple of weeks ago

when he was here i think that you can as honest said you have to look at this very sober and very nuanced. we're here because of hamas, we're here because of the actions of hamas on october 7. and hamas is very difficult to negotiate with the group of people who do not believe you have a right to exist. >> that's first, but as biden said, and as president biden said, you can also criticize bibi netanyahu he's not invaluable in the fact that moving on yahoo has positioned himself as being someone who was also an impediment to peace. >> and so when you look at this and when you look at what he's been doing in settler communities, when you look at just what is happening in gaza and you want to question, i think you have every right to question the damage that has been caused and gaza. and so when you it's okay to be able to look soberly at both sides of this issue and say it's very difficult to negotiate with the mosque and bibi netanyahu is right now being an impediment to peace as well. i think that's a fair assessment. >> a very tall and very handsome bacardi sellers are thanks to you and navarro

always great to have you here. >> very not tall amongst the little people, not handsome navarro. that's far effect here. >> i can take it right. >> attorney general merrick garland, set to slam the repeated attacks and what he calls conspiracy theories photo by republicans and in like a scene out of a mob movie, a bag of cash is dropped at the doorstep of a juror with a note promising more money to come if the defendant is acquitted the increase in wildfires is exponential uncontrollable with overwhelming consequences. the need to do something, something is urgent slightly birth with we have schreiber and night on cnn. awkward question is you're going to be anything leftover oh, absolutely. my kids don't know what they want. you know, who knows what she wants with empower. >> we get all of our financial questions answered. so you don't have to worry empower what's next?

shortly attorney general merrick garland will testify before congress, and he will frankly lash out at some of his biggest critics in remarks that cnn has obtained the attorney general, will say, quote, i will not be intimidated and the justice department will not be intimidated. >> we will continue to do our jobs free from political influence, and we will not back down from defending our democracy. and it gets pretty specific about some of the conspiracy theories that had been floated by republicans. cnn's kaitlan polo that's is with us now this is something caitlyn john, it is. >> this is all coming because the house judiciary committee and other republicans want to hold merrick garland in contempt of congress because he won't turn over an audio tape of president biden's sitting for an interview with special counsel robert hur, in the investigation of biden's handling of classified records that investigation resulted in

no charges and the department of justice let her testify to congress, turned over his report and gave congress a transcript of biden's interview, but no audio tape. and merrick garland, attorney general says, yeah, you guys are not getting it. we're not giving that to you. he says certain members of this committee and the oversight committee are seeking contempt as a means of obtaining for no legitimate purpose sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations. so merrick garland wanting to keep private that to protect witnesses future investigations, other proceedings but merrick garland, john, is also saying to house republicans likely to say to them based on remarks we've obtained there's a bigger beef here. between republicans and the justice department. you guys wanted to fund offices. we have you want to attack the people in the justice department law enforcement. that's why merrick garland is saying that other

quote, i will not be intimidated. we're going to be hearing from him in person at 10:00 a.m. and we'll see it exactly where the hearing goes from there. but this really is uncharacteristic in a lot of ways of merrick garland, someone who tends to not put himself in the middle of the political maelstrom yeah, john, i imagine that the republicans will have a strong response to that. >> katelyn polantz, thank you so much. >> so there are new developments just in on hunter biden's federal trial, just minutes ago, hunter biden's attorneys tried to get several photographs excluded from evidence, and the judge rejected the request. let's go over to cnn's paula reid, who's tracking all of this. paula, what just happened? >> well okay we have this update from inside the court, and if you're wondering why i'm holding a sort of crumpled piece of spiral bound notebook paper it is because of course there are no cameras are allowed inside federal courts. we're relying on our colleagues inside to take notes and then run them out to us.

and the most recent an update we got is we were expecting opening statements. so to begin by now, but they're a little bit delayed because they were still at the time of this note waiting for some jurors to show up. >> while we were waiting for these additional jurors to arrive at court, they handled some of these outstanding questions about evidence. >> and here the judge said that she would allow in this photo that hunter for a defense attorneys were t says includes, quote, circumstantial evidence of his draghi's, which is of course at the center of this case but this is an image where he is naked. now, the judge said that it'll be shown from the chest up the rest will be redacted. but this is another blow to the defense the judge has already prevented them from bringing in an expert witness and blocked another piece of evidence that they wanted to bring in. now, the first lady, jill biden, she is dear today for these opening statements, notable because as you know, she and her husband are traveling to france later today, but she is here to show support for her stepson as this

trial it's underway. another interesting thing, kate, is just a short time ago, center lindsey graham weighed in on these two federal trials at hunter biden is facing, of course, this is the first trial in september. he is expected to face trial in los angeles on tax charges. >> and the senator said that he believed that if any other american had quote, prepared their taxes like hunter biden two would face a federal prosecution, but he was very dismissive of this case and said, quote, i don't think anything good can come of that. >> so that's a notable republican criticism of this case. today. >> yeah, very interesting. it's good to see you, paula, much more to come with pieces of paper having to be run out from federal court it's great that you're there, paula. thank you so much pat mcafee says he meant it as a compliment. >> what he said about wnba star caitlin car clark, that is making headlines now today and congressman takes child to work. congressman goes to house floor to make floor speech, and congressman tells us on to smile for the cameras and child hits it out of the park and then they joined us here,

isn't the way home. that's right. james it is where are we going we're here the future isn't scary. not investing in it is. >> were you in on this thing gets by huge james nasdaq 100 innovators, one on etf before investing carefully reading, consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges, expense in more in perspective, seven, vasco.com, i melies nonna in washington and this is cnn this morning, espn host pat mcafee is apologizing after calling caitlin clark, a white

be. he said it was a compliment. he made the comment will arguing that clark he says is the sole reason the wnba is surging in popularity, right now? cnn contributor kara champion is here with me in a lot of ways and we were talking backstage. what pat mac the pat mcafee aspect of this is the least interesting aspect of this. what's truly fascinating right now is what's happening with the wnba with caitlin clark and how she's being covered i think it's fascinating because no one and thank you, john for putting that into perspective because i do believe the pat mcafee of it all is the least interesting part of the story. caitlin clark is a superstar. she plays like steph curry meaning she is everybody's game. she makes it basketball, look feasible for everyone because of the way in which she plays. so this is why there's such this fascination with her. however, we're forgetting that she probably had a month or a little more than a month to go from college to the draft. and to the wnba. and there's this learning period of huge learning curve

that people talked about. now, how it's being covered, really disappoints me because the people who have really large plaque, plaque forums in our business, such as pat mcafee are elevating a jealousy story when in fact, all athletes are jealous in some capacity, right? that's just what they are. but people are competitive and we wouldn't be having this conversation if she wasn't white and black women were going at her just like they go at other athletes, talk to me about that tall but the race factor here, race is a huge thing and people don't want to talk about it. so for instance, they're like look at the way caitlin clark is being treated out there. they're hammering her. caitlin clark two on her own, said that she was being hammered two. but physically, it's not really, truly something we have not seen. they've been doing this and women's basketball since forever. but the visual of a black woman going at a white woman is for these new viewers and perhaps for the new analysts and for the new folks who are paying attention, it makes them uncomfortable. and i understand because you're not familiar with the game, and

i'm saying, please don't elevate a story of hatred and jealousy as opposed to just some athletes going out there to get after it. it's basket well, she came to the worst team in the nba and every defense is going to swarm her no matter what she looks like because she's the one who can score less than i have. i have a lot of respect for some of my male colleagues. and i said this last night, i'm really tired of the man's way. meaning. so for instance, even a has this huge platform and he says on his show the other day, oh guess what? i feel like some of these women are jealous and of course there's there's an element of that because caitlin clark is getting all the attention and she makes all the money. of course, there's an element, but that's not necessarily the story here. we're talking about the wnba at 10:00 in the morning on cnn. you don't i mean, this is a big thing and it's a good thing for the sport let's not cover it like we are archaic and we don't understand that these women are just athletes. well, it looks i mean, at least their play right now. >> i mean, the nba hasn't played for like 12 weeks and i

think we have to wait like six more for the final. so start that aside there. but we're talking about it because there's great basketball with big stars being played. >> and you know what john, it's always been there. i for 1:00 a.m. happy. thank you. caitlin clark has brought this attention. i don't think she's getting this attention just because she's white. i think that has a lot to do with it, but i also know the way in which she plays the game makes it look easy and feasible for little girls at home. and they're fascinated. she sells out arenas. i'm here to watch her. and so i don't mind that part of the story, but the reality is she's still a rookie and this is rite of passage. you're going to get knocked and bumped around and you're going to have to prove yourself and happened to lebron. it happened to michael jordan. i can go down the list of players that had happened to it happened to go kobe bryant this should not be covered like we are attack keen this woman. it's just unfortunate care shafik, great to have you here. thank you so much. thank you so a legitimate form of artistic expression, actual words on elon musk's x bright now is a social media platform, explains

cnn news we do have breaking news. >> this has to do with hunter biden's federal gun trial we learned that just minutes ago, a juror was dismissed. let's go right to paula reid at the courthouse. paul, what's going on here hold on.

>> this is significant because of course is the historic trial the first time the child of a sitting president is facing criminal trial. and we have just lost one of the jurors selected yesterday now, this is not appear to be a political aisle recusal by this juror, but we're we've learned from our colleagues inside the court that she emailed the court last night to say that you did not want to serve. >> she lives it was about an hour away and she said the quote, i had no idea. i would have to be there every day to the only reason she even showed up yesterday to jury selection is because her father took the day off off now, we do have some generic information about these jurors from our reporting yesterday. >> i've said this is a woman, as i said, she told the court yesterday during the jury selection process that she had heard about the case through the news, which he said she mostly gets from youtube. >> she told the judge she had heard that drugs were involved in this case. but she couldn't recall all any additional details. now, there are several alternatives for alternatives in this case, this is why you

have alternatives in case you lose a juror, but down it's a little surprising. we're already losing someone on the first day. i just came from 67 weeks of covering the trump trial up in new york. and once a jury was seated, once the trial was underway, they did not lose a single juror for in an even more high-profile case, but it doesn't appear that this person has any political reasons or any concern for their safety to superior. she does not want to commute back and forth over the next week or so alright. >> paula reid, outside the courthouse for that development, paul. thank you very much okay. >> you'll get. out ab's, icon cyndi lauper has had a lot of fund over her lead during her legendary career. >> but the singer now says it is time has come for her farewell tour law for maybe

show me a new one? >> maybe if you knew we weren't material cars isn't daily occurrence in your in your household it's usually pretty active siam and guy can be pretty rambunctious kid. >> so but they're pretty good kids of course they are a look. let's be honest, he could have been a lot worse sitting behind you, the megan phases. i mean, you've could you make him come and sit in the chamber the other the other members fall asleep having to do that, congressman he did take a power nap after his newfound fame or and congressman rose confirms not only our kids the best at putting their parents in their place, but also that kids can sometimes be reflective of the anti-vaccine on any given day on the house floor john all right. shifting years here, new this morning, elon musk has

announced his social media platform x we'll now allow pornographic content with a few restrictions, with very few restrictions seen as clare duffy is here with us now explain what's going on here. >> well, looked on it. this isn't exactly knew what x is doing here is essentially creating a formal policy around the way that they were operating. anyways, x has never really enforced against images or videos of adult content. but what this policy does is it formalizes the facts that users may now share consent centrally produced and distributed adult content provided x says that that content is properly labeled and isn't widely distributed. so for example, x isn't going to allow people to put this kind of content in highly visible places like a profile picture. x also says it will be asking users who regularly post adult content to be placing that content under content warnings. and it says that users under the age of 18 won't be able to view that restricted content, but x is essentially saying here that it wanted to create this policy to create some more transparent let's see you around its rules

and its enforcement does x have more porn than the other social media sites? >> it was interesting because i was surprised by this, but then i went did a little reason waters reported a few years ago that will 13% of the content on twitter or x, is born. >> yeah, x does, uh, you know, twitter x has for a long time allowed this kind of content and it's interesting, right? i mean, elon musk has been trying to attract more creators of all stripes to the platform. so you have to imagine that perhaps the formalization of this policy is trying to get some of these creators who make this kind of content to be on x rather than on the sort of other reaches of the internet. but it's also interesting timing because x has faced concerns over the safety of children using this platform, you'll remember ceo lindy ocarina was called to capitol hill to testify in january alongside other social media ceos about the ways that they're keeping in kids safe. and so i think this might raise some more red flags about what children can potentially see on this platform, although x is saying it's taking steps to keep them safe if they go on the platform, parent when they

can see a lot cleared up, you thank you. very much for being with us morning. i appreciate it. >> it was a hard cured from the from the from the guy rows sorry, john i mean, sorry, be clear what you're talking about. and the face that he made for us it was epic. that was a really great question. one of your better a lot of town was, my big you all so much for joining us today. this is the new central newsroom up next can you do that? >> if you were moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks. you still lara from the start and move toward relief after the first dose with injections. every two months still, laura may increase your risk of infections some serious and
