? it has a little bit of zinc. it's supposed to naturally produce melatonin. we also see pepsi. they have a new drink called drift. well, that's also supposed used to help you fall asleep. but i very under wolf has. i think wolf has like a cookie every night before bed or something like that. it helps everyone know that story. i think he's fine. he said it on the air, but wolf i don't know. text me. um but i think wolf has like a cookie or something. a chocolate chip. we'll have to get him. sweet dreams. yeah so maybe that'll help. i shouldn't eat on air. it's like stuck in my teeth. that's good, right? sugary sweet dreams like way more than one cup of coffee to wake you up after that, that's the issue. thank you, daniel. appreciate it. cnn this morning continues right now. the pentagon says today. u s contractor was killed in syria after a drone strike. president biden responded with airstrikes . this was a proportionate

retaliation that it is designed not to escalate the situation. we do not trust tiktok will ever embrace american values. your platform should be banned. i have seen no evidence that the chinese government has access to their data. they have never asked us. we have not provided i find that actually preposterous . is it a threat to the united states? security i believe that it is. yes it should be ended one way or another. the bottom line. is this american data stored on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel. the entire country is waiting to see whether trump is about to be charged and arrested or not, sources tell us the manhattan grand jury panel met but did not take up the case. district attorney alvin bragg is unleashing on house republicans . three committees have said they wanted to come in and testify is sending the message. they want congress to back off. it's easier for them to go against alvin bragg that it is for them to go against donald trump. a day after the french president said, increasing the

retirement age by the end of the year, more than a million people turned out improvements just stuck to his economic argument that he knows best. and ultimately, what we're seeing from the street is that people disagree with that. basket wins it wild start to the sweet 16 for the lead. gaga survives going to the elite eight. good morning. everyone welcome in its top of the hour. let's start with the deadly drone attack on u. s troops in syria, shall we? the pentagon says in iranian made drone killed an american contractor and wounded five u. s service members after it struck a base in northeast syria. president joe biden, responding with airstrikes against groups affiliated with iran's revolutionary guard in syria, and you can see ambulances

rushing to that scene and what looks like a burning building off to the side. the u. s still has roughly 900 troops on the ground in syria to help stamp out isis. just yesterday there, commander testifying to congress about how iran is using proxy militias to attack american soldiers with drones and rockets . so let's go to our national security reporter natasha bear trying to joins us live at the pentagon, natasha good morning to you this breaking overnight. the u. s military says it's ready to respond not just to this. but to any additional iranian attacks if this continues to escalate that's right. poppy and secretary of defense lloyd austin did did issue a statement last night, saying that he authorized the strike after president biden ordered it in response to a series of attacks by these groups affiliated with iran's revolutionary guard corps against u. s personnel in syria. this is not the first time that the us has conducted these kinds of strikes, but it is these kinds of attacks are you know increasing, and the u. s says that it's going to respond in a

proportional way. president joe biden ordering a u. s airstrike in eastern syria thursday after us intelligence assessed that an iranian origin drone killed an american contractor and wounded five u. s service members and another u. s contractor. biden authorized the straight quote against facilities used by groups affiliated with iran's islamic revolutionary guard, corps secretary of defense lloyd austin said in a statement. the department of defense said quote took proportionate and deliberate action intended to limit the risk of escalation and minimize casualties. the u. s military maintains approximately 900 u. s. troops in syria, some of which are there as part of a coalition to defeat isis, but those forces are often under attack by iranian proxies. iran's vast and deeply resourced proxy forces spread instability throughout the region and threaten our regional partners, commander of us central command said in a statement. following the story, quote, we're postured for scale will options in the

face of any additional iranian attacks. testifying on capitol hill thursday, carrillo said that iranian proxies have carried out attacks on us forces in the middle east 78 times since the beginning of 2021. so what iran does to hide its hand as they use iranian proxies. that's that's either waves or rockets to be able to attack our forces in either iraq or syria. are these considered acts of war? by iran. they are being done by the iranian proxies is what i would tell you. congressman biden administration is carried out multiple airstrikes against militias affiliated with iran following previous attacks on u. s facilities in the region. biden's first known military action was a strike in february, 2021 after rocket attacks on us troops in iraq. now adding to this concern is yet another thing that parrilla, the commander of us central command, told congress last week, which is that today, iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the middle east with thousands of ballistic

and cruise missiles, and we should note that two of those wounded service members from the strike on thursday were treated on site but three additional service members and that u. s contractor were actually medically evacuate, evacuated to coalition medical facilities in iraq, poppy don really significant overnight, natasha. thank you very much for that reporting from the pentagon. don thank you were very lucky to have our military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton to walk us through that. colonel thank you so much. listen so the first strike happening in the northeast and then just south of that is where biden authorized that strike back again. can you tell us what happened? yeah, don. good morning. it's still basically with the first strike at the iranians conducted the iranian proxies conducted. i should say i want to. we're looking at here is in the northeastern part of syria. the us maintains a major presence with british forces. so this is a vestige of the work

that we did against isis to destroy that that entity and of course, there's still elements that exist there. what happened was the strike occurred. on the u. s facility and that ended up killing the contractor and wounding the five soldiers and the other contractor. so with that, i did that the iranian proxies are working very much in conjunction with iran, and it's also something to note that when you look at the in which this happened, you can see this happening right after iran and saudi arabia national relationship with china's help, so there's a lot that's going on. here a lot to unpack. but the basic idea is that the us then responded after the strike curd and that their azure on the map that you have by you, don. that was weird. that iranian group was actually located, so the attack that us conducted was

right there in more or less than the east central part of the country. are you expecting the u. s military to respond further? i think this is it for the moment. but what would happen? you know if the iranian proxies just headed to move forward with some other attacks , and you can expect that central command, the u. s central command would be responding in kind. so they basically said that they would use proportionate force anytime that something like this happened, and this is a response after about 80 attacks that have occurred since the beginning of 2021. as we've been reporting, there's still us personnel there. the u. s. intel says that the state it was carried out by these iranian proxies that you mentioned in the region. what more do we know about where they are, and the threat that they pose? to the u. s military to the u. s personnel. right so most of these groups are located in the eastern and central parts of syria. there are some that are located in the western part of the country. a lot of the

fighting that was going on in the aleppo region, for example, uh, iranian proxies were involved in that in the syrian civil war, so these are elements are really throughout the country of syria, and they can turn and attack any forces whether it's syrian defense forces. craddick forces that are aligned with us or where the kurds or some other entity, including the u. s forces that are there. just last thursday, the top u. s military general for the middle east testified before congress. ah that iran is significantly more military capable than ever. let's listen and then i'll get your response. here it is. today i ran his exponentially more capable than they were just five years ago. today, iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the middle east. thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles, many capable of striking anywhere in the middle east. iran also maintains the largest and most capable force in the region. so iranian

proxies have carried out attacks on us forces in the middle east 78 times since the beginning of 2021. what do you concerns, colonel? so what this shows is that there's a real proliferation of arms in the middle east and iran is being culprit in this case and what they're doing in order to protect the identity of who's doing this, at least protected initially is to give a look of these weapons to proxy forces so that they can use what's called plausible deniability. in other words, they can wash their hands of whatever happened and say it wasn't us even though it really was them. so this is very concerning because it really directly impacts american in interest anywhere in the middle east. it really impacts of the ability of the courage, for example, to maintain relative peace in their region, and it puts at risk any type of peace agreement that was reached in the syrian civil war. so this is something that is very dangerous and could explode it anymore.

that is cedric leighton. colonel cedric leighton a little bit later on we're going to have john kirby is going to join us from the white house. thank you, colonel. you get done, the united states and canada have been grappling with a surge of migrants seeking asylum, and we are now learning that both countries have reached a major agreement to help deal with this. president biden is in ottawa right now, our chief white house correspondent phil mattingly, traveling with the president. he's there, phil good morning. this is significant right years in the making, and as i understand it in extension, a broadening of that 2004 agreement known as the third safe, third country agreement. what does it do? essentially it will expand that 2004 agreement to include one unofficial border crossings. specifically it's known as roxton road. it is an area where migrants have been crossing into quebec from new york at increasing rates over the course of the last several years, and it's caused significant domestic political problems for prime minister

justin trudeau and the fact that they were able to reach an agreement on this and what this essentially will do is it will make that unofficial crossing official giving canadians the ability to stem the tide of the crossings there. and in exchange , canada has agreed to create a refugee program for about 15,000 migrants that would come up for the u. s side of things and the reason why this is significant is twofold. one. it is a significant domestic political issue here in canada for the prime minister and his party. it is also something that us officials did not seem like they were going to head toward just a matter of weeks ago, it has been a major push by canadians. in the lead up to this meeting. and it underscores the fact that us officials and president biden in particular are really trying to set the conditions for a very productive meeting. very quick, 27 hour visit to canada, but one where there are significant issues on the bilateral side of things that they want to try and reach agreements on now the agreement itself while prime minister justin trudeau and talking to our colleague paula newton did not confirm it, exactly. he did lay the

groundwork for it. take a listen walk up. canada's always willing to do more. we're a country that has been built like the united states on welcoming people from around the world. we just need to make sure we're doing it in responsible, proper ways to continue to have our citizens positive towards immigration. and while it seems a little bit high level, the translation is they needed this deal. they wanted this deal. they have gotten this deal. it will be announced later today. it's one of a series of thorny bilateral issues that the president the prime minister will get into. but the relationship itself guides very warm. unlike the current place that i'm standing at the moment and one where the two leaders themselves, have a very close relationship as well, which i think we'll see play out throughout the course of today's events in their embrace, right, hugging ah, hugging each other's wives, etcetera. when on the arrival phil mattingly thank you for the translation into english of very diplomatic answer from judo soon. we want to show you

this incredible video capturing the moment of u. s. border patrol agent rescues a one year old. the child was abandoned at a u. s mexican border by the person the agency describes as a smuggler. you don't leaves the child sitting next to the barrier and immediately returns. to the river. a white patrol truck pulls up. and an agent puts a child in the vehicle. the border patrol chief tweeted this picture of the child safe in the arms of the agent who rescued him. and authorities told cnn. the child is from guatemala and will be placed with health and human services. sadly this is not a rare incident, the agency has reported many smugglers abandoning young children in recent years. what do you say? all i was thinking of is now what for that child and edit. ahh as just yeah, read it slowly

because i wanted the video. you see the video, but i mean, it's just um, it's sad, and i think it just shows you. you know the crisis at the border what people are dealing with who are you know, on the other side of our border, and, um, imagine a parent or someone you know. a guardian or have you feeling that they're so desperate that they have to abandon a child? do that with a small child like that, because you're so desperate and knowing that they're better off. on the other side. i hope that child yeah. alright okay, um, major turn here, but you've probably been watching basketball at night, right? turning to march madness. gonzaga surviving a wild finish against ucla to advance of the elite eight. andy scholes joins us with the highlights. so how was it? oh man, poppy, don, what a night and what a game we had in las vegas the second half. it certainly was one wild ride for fans. gonzaga was down 13.5

time, but they came all the way back and actually had an eight point lead over u c. l a with a minute to go. but the bruins would go in a frantic 10 to 1 run capped off by a maori bailey, hitting it three to give them the lead with 13 seconds left. but then mark view dialed up what he calls the j right plates, the same one. villanova used to win it all a few years ago, and julian strawser, the vegas native, nailing the three their u. c. l a would have one last chance, but they turned the ball over zags, just winning an absolute thriller 79 to 76. now kansas state michigan state. they also played a thriller at madison square garden, and it was another legendary performance from wildcats point guard mark he's noel the five ft eight harlem native scored 20 points to go along with the tournament record 19 assist and no assist was bigger than one to chianti johnson right here in overtime, johnson going to come

up with the reverse slam and take another look at this, noel was actually going back and forth with his coach, jerome tang. right before throwing that pass. in the closing seconds. noel also getting a big steel and he would take it the other way to seal this victory for the wildcats is kansas state wins 98 to 93 to advance to the elite eight and here's tang on his point guard after the game. place of fire, but we practice in a place of fire all the time. so he was ready for this bad boy right here, boy. you gotta love the intensity and chianti johnson. he led the wildcats of 22 points last night, including that big dunk. he continues to be one of the best stories of the tournament. so johnson, he collapsed in 2020 while playing for florida and was in a coma for three days. he was diagnosed with heart inflammation. and instead of taking a $5 million insurance payout and never playing basketball again. he

transferred to ks you guys and now has them a win away from the final four. so if your brackets out, you know you've got nothing to root for their. it's hard not to root for the wildcats and their two star players. two great stories getting dressed this morning i looked at my bracket was just like i just stuffed it in my backpack and didn't really i was like, i don't know what this thing is, what's going on it again. is princeton gonna make it? to the elite eight. they play tonight, right play tonight against creighton. they're a surprise. surprise once again underdogs, but hey, one thing we've learned so far from this tournament, you cannot count out these princeton tigers. smiley smarties. thanks, andy. andy scholes. see you soon . so wait until you hear all that we have ahead on this. one of donald trump's attorneys will testify today in the mara lago classified documents probe no longer being able to cite attorney client privilege for some critical questions. what do prosecutors want to ask him? plus the former president, also

longoria searching for mexico premier sunday at 10 on cnn. so new developments in the investigations into former president donald trump, first in the doj investigation of classified documents at mara lago trump's defense attorney, evan corcoran, is set to testify in front of a federal grand jury today after being denied attorney client privilege. the special counsel suspects trump intentionally misled his lawyers about those documents also order to turn over his notes from that time. another trump lawyer, timothy palette, tory says that he testified back in december before the grand jury for several hours about additional searches for classified documents at trump properties. he says that there was no obstruction of justice and that his team complied with the subpoena. and new this morning, donald trump escalating his rhetoric against manhattan's district attorney, alvin bragg over that hush money investigation in a post

overnight, trump raised the possibility of quote. death and destruction, close quote that could happen if he's indicted with the former president. continuing on to write quote. no crime has been committed our senior political correspondent anchor of inside politics on ankara fascinating specializing on tiktok, which we'll get to in a moment. abby phillip is here. good morning. good to see you. great to be here with you guys. abby. death and destruction. given the history and the background of the death and violence on january 6th and the insurrection. why is the president saying this former president, he doesn't see any downside to upping the ante? and why would he every time that he's escalated the rhetoric the response on capitol hill from republicans, even the ones who are typically more measured about trump has been to circle the wagons around him, so these things really feed on themselves when trump sees the reaction to one post, the previous one

calling on his supporters to protest and he sees that the only consequence of that had been that republicans basically said, we've got to defend trump . he goes one step further, and i think that's what we're seeing here. we don't know what's going to happen. we don't know what alvin bragg is going to do, but ump is raising a lot of money off of this kind of rhetoric. and i think that he does not care if he does, in fact spin up unrest. that's part of the strategy raised a whole lot of money by saying, oh, i'm going to be, you know, insinuating that he was going to be indicted on tuesday, right raise money off of that, but this is really disturbing me because he's been doing this for a while, and i think we can't talk enough about it, where he's been calling these prosecutors who happen to be african american. saying that they're racist. he called alvin bragg, a soros backed animal. yeah his old tricks here of you know, um, being racist or racist adjacent, using that type of language for people and as as

someone who's covered trump for years, you if you go back and you read his rhetoric. i mean, this goes actually all the way back to the eighties very long history of calling black people , racist or dumb or dog. tom or using, you know, um, talking about baltimore as being, you know, filthy rat infested the same thing with congressman john lewis's district in the atlanta suburbs, so he has a long history of that these are i don't know if we can even call them codes at this point, because i think that it's pretty transparent, but they are signals to his base who are much more prone. to see black people in positions of power in particular in a racial lens, even though what the d a is doing at this moment actually has absolutely nothing to do with race. i think we've got to just stick with the facts here, wait for them to unfold and not get distracted by what trump is trying to do, which is to rile up his his base from a political

perspective on this issue. so look, i want to get to this, um trump's defense attorney joe tacopina, who has been on this network a lot and he was on my old show at night a lot. he's defending this contradiction now over now representing trump in this case, and there was some, you know, issue about possibly him representing stormy daniels. we dug up this clip. it's from him claiming attorney client privilege with stormy daniels back in 2018. i want to get your thoughts here it is so i understand that you had some communication with stormy daniels at some point. you know , obviously there's attorney client issues. let's put it this way. oh. contacted, um go ahead. well what i mean there was there was a problem was asked jack. let him finish the question. i was asked whether i was contacted or are asked to represent her. the answer is yes , i was, but i can't go into anything further. i'm not representing her. um i don't represent her. i've never

represented her. he is defending it saying that i never represented ever spoke with her, but trump's attorneys always somehow seemed to become part of the story that maybe he's right. i'm sure i'm assuming he's right and he's telling the truth that they off, you know, let's start with this. it isn't has not actually been that easy for trump to find attorneys. okay he is not picking from the top shelf here. there are a lot of people who don't want to represent trump. because trump's lawyers tend to need to get lawyers and i think this is probably one of those cases where you've got someone who in addition to this clip, which i think raises a lot of ethical questions, even potentially some legal ones. ah joe tacopina also said that what trump did was illegal and there are a lot of people in trump's orbit who have been on the other side of many legal issues as it relates to trump. but now that they work for him, and they're getting paid presumptively they're getting paid, although some of them don't where they're getting

paid, uh, they changed their tune, and i think that's actually pretty typical for trump's orbit, and it's i'm not saying that joe tacopina is not a good lawyer. i'm just saying that, um trump has too often pick from people who previously said that what he did was maybe illegal tough client to represent, because usually you tell your client to be quiet and they do but as you said maga since making attorneys get attorneys well said, let's turn before you go to your special last night on tiktok following just an absolute grilling of tiktok ceo on capitol hill, by notably both republicans and democrats, seeming to have no no almost defenders in that room. let's play this exchange from, uh from the from the hearing between one of the lawmakers and shoes each. ooh, here it was. do any american dance employees in china, including engineers currently have access to us data. congressman would appreciate this. this is a

complex topic today. all data by not that complex. yes or no? do they have access to user data we have after project texas is the aren't done. the answer is no. today there is still something that we need to lead. do you think that congress accomplished something for the american people and national security yesterday? i don't know that they got answers. i don't know that they got close to solutions. but that was a really key moment because i think it highlights the core of the problem. moving forward. tiktok is saying they're going to fix this by housing. the data here in the united states, but they can't really say that in the past or even right now that that data is not vulnerable, so i think that that is at the heart of the issue here, and it's why that hearing got so contentious but one when i talked. i mean, we had some tiktok influencers on last night, but we also had a lot of experts on to say that this is not just tiktok's problem right. bigger problem

than that, and congress really did nothing to explore that child for it now, but what is congress going to do? yeah i mean, they're they're going to deal with tiktok. but they're not going to deal with the rest of the industry where this is an issue, too. but the bottom line is we spoke with one center yesterday said it the difference here between tiktok and others. as you know, it is the chinese communist government the possibility of them having access to absolutely but we should be clear. china is a state actor if they want access to data that belongs to tiktok, or to facebook company company. there are ways that they can get it, so i'm not downplaying that risk. but there is risk all around here all around every thank you very much good to see you. good to see you guys starting this sunday. by the way, we're just chatting about this. abby gets to sleep a little bit longer. inside politics. sunday moves to 11 a.m. eastern time. we always watched it at eight am now it's going to be 11 am eastern time. three hours later. save network

up, bill. we're in antarctica, and this is cnn. so brand new video just in to cnn. take a look at your screen right there. it appears to show the aftermath of the u. s airstrike in eastern syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with iran on the strike comes after an iranian made drone attacked coalition based in northeast syria, killing one u. s contractor, injuring five u. s service members and another american in response to us carried out this precision airstrike in eastern syria. that is a according to the pentagon. so joining us right now, democratic congresswoman mikey cheryl. she's on the armed services committee and is a former navy helicopter pilot was so happy to have her this morning. uh good morning to you. thank you very much. first of all, what is your reaction to these airstrikes? well i sit down as you said the house armed

services committee, and we just heard testimony yesterday from centcom about the iranian threat. so to see these drone strikes, um you know was really concerning given what we've seen iran doing with their drones across the world, not just in syria, but certainly supplying russia and the ukraine war. um, and so i think what we saw with the response by the united states as promised from the president and the secretary of defense, it was measured. it was not meant to be escalatory, but certainly you cannot attack us service members and u. s contractors and have that gohan meant with equal force. thank you for responding to that congresswoman. yeah and if we could also talk to you about your significant hearing last night on the chinese continued treatment of the weaker muslim minority population in xinjiang province at the u. n. has now called crime, a crime against humanity, both the trump and by the administration's deem it genocide. though china denies

this treatment of more than a million of these ethnic minorities because it came out obviously you had a hearing focusing on it also came up yesterday significantly in the tiktok ceo hearing. given that they're owned by chinese company bytedance. i want your response to this exchange. listen. do you agree that the chinese government has persecuted the weaker population? congresswoman you if you use our app and you open it, you will find our users who give all sorts of content question. my question is, do you agree that the chinese government has persecuted the weaker population? well is really concerning to hear about all accounts of human rights abuse. pretty easy question. do you agree that the chinese government has persecuted the wigger population? congressman i'm here to describe the tiktok and what we do as a platform. three opportunities to answer that, and he didn't what's your response? you know, this is

something that we heard about last night from the wickers that we had in our hearing. we heard horrific stories from victims of the chinese genocide from women who you know, you can hear the chinese had used the particular vulnerabilities of women against them. rape forced abortions forced sterilization. in the camps, shots that were said to be vitamin charts but stopped women's periods. it was really horrific to hear one woman describe young person bleeding out from the chinese abuse, so it was really horrific, and then we heard testimony that a lot of the surveillance architecture that the chinese have used to commit this genocide was provided by platforms like the chinese tiktok and many of the tigers inside the camps or

arrested don't even understand why they were arrested, and it was often because of the tracking data used on their travels or who they were speaking to and where they went. so to hear. then the ceo say he was there to talk about the tiktok platform and what they do well, i certainly think a larger discussion of what they do would include helping to perpetuate the genocide going on against the weaker people in china. just to be clear. um tiktok doesn't operate in china. there are sort of chinese counterpart, which is a separate company. but i know you understand that just for our viewers understand, right? yes this separate and that is the testimony we heard with the separate chinese tiktok company , but the concern then tied back here is the surveillance architecture that that tiktok has and the ability for the chinese government to utilize the data that the american tiktok company has to surveil

americans here at home. and that is what's so dangerous as we're understanding more and more about how they've utilized that within china, and now seeing that they have those capabilities here, and i think what we heard last yesterday from the ceo of tiktok was in no way reassuring. well we'll continue to follow and we appreciate you joining us this morning. thank you, congresswoman cheryl. thank you. i appreciate it. and in our next half hour, we're going to speak to the white house as john kirby about the drone strike in syria and much more. also evil. longoria is you're showing us mexico like we have not seen it before. we sat down with her ahead of her new cnn original series premiere, er, what she is saying about her work outside tv . and huh? would she ever run for office? interesting. you advised president obama on immigration issues? uh not that

you're in mexico city and chocolate or a dream come true for my four year old son, santee. this one but softly soft, soft stop. no this is the kilonzo and the family. it comes to food. we all have our guilty pleasures from my son. chocolate and for every son it is chocolate chocolate made better by two rows. longoria host of searching with mexico. thank you for being here congratulating me. thank you. it's a beautiful show. yeah that particular clip was like santy. pound of sugar high for about three hours. i bet look you can do anything. you've shown us that you really wanted to do this. you called this the adventure of a lifetime . why did you want to take on this project because you pitched it. to cnn. yes well, they, stanley and amy came to me and they were like we want to do a spin off. indian tell us yes, of searching for italy and we want

to do another country and i was like you have to do mexico. i was like mexico is like a jewel of gastronomy. i mean, it really is so beautiful in its food, culture, and food is so rooted in everything in the country and so i pitched her on mexico. not so much. me i was like you should do mexico. somebody should do it. but mexico is like the place you should do next. and then they said yes. and i was like, oh, god. now i have to do it, but it was and i didn't months for months straight. yes you brought your four year old which we got to see my husband. we live in mexico city and my husband's from mexico city, and he went with me kind of on the six different states and even he was like, where am like, like, what is that, like he was introduced to discover mexico. yeah searching is truly what you did. you discovered a lot even though you call it your second home. so many things about it that you didn't know. no and you know, i think the identity of

mexican cuisine is like tacos, tequila tacos, tequila, which they do very well and i'm all for it. but there's so much more and the country is so diverse. i was struck by in this is also the pride that you showed on full display in each of the states. you went to that was important for you to highlight 1000. there was a day i didn't cry from somebody's storytelling and the way they tell stories through their food. is amazing. and if you're talking about food , that's the easiest entry point to any culture. you call yourself a tech sicken born in texas with mexican roots but you've also talked about what's been, um, a significant part of your life and also really difficult at times straddling the hyphen. mm yeah, because when i'm in here in the united states, i'm there like, oh, you're mexican. and then i'm in mexico and they're like, oh, you're the american and i'm like, well, i'm one of you to, you know, and especially, you know, being married to a mexican national, you know, it's really my households. very fun like we argue about flour tortillas versus corn tortillas, flour all

the way. what do you do a. but that's because we're americans. that is truly not a true mexican . we have this fight all the time, but it's really, um i love uh, my heritage, my culture and my roots and this show really gave me a deeper appreciation for that side of my family, and i think it's going to give people a deep appreciation for the country. so i want to talk even outside of the series about your evolution and your purpose because, you know, i think i came to know you from desperate housewives. incredible. didn't miss an episode right? and you became this famous actress at the same time on that journey you became and continue to be allowed. voice for rights for what you believe in and also standing up for the voiceless. many times your sister elizabeth , who was born with special needs has been a big inspiration to you. how do you think about purpose at this stage in your life? you know, i was lucky to

grow up in a family that exposed me to volunteerism very early. my earliest memories are special olympics. i remember my mom. and made us go and be huggers. at the special olympics. she made us volunteer at the salvation army at the boys and girls club every thanksgiving. we had to go to the soup kitchen first before we had our thanksgiving, mom. she's great. i mean, amazing, mom, so she didn't um teach me how to be philanthropic or an advocate. she showed me it was just part of expected we were. it was absolutely expected. so before i was famous, this was my work. this was my life's mission. and because i have a special needs sister like our whole family was so selfless and everything revolved around her needs what she needed what was going to improve her quality of life and that's a gift. i love that you despite all the fame, you then went back to school. you want to get your master's in chicano studies and you? had a deep desire to know more about issues you were speaking out on

. yeah advised president obama on immigration issues. uh not that i'm not an advisor so much as i was. i was bothering him bothering listened from all my research. listen to you opening with this thing. yeah, i did go back because i am an activist, and i wanted to have a deeper knowledge. extremely curious. about um many issues and how policies affect people. and so i wanted to make the connection or connect the dots of like, but why i kept asking, but why? but why is this like that? why are these rights dismantled since the civil rights movements? why do we have to keep fighting for this? or that one of your main causes has been on immigration and immigration reform in this country. so many failed attempts at it have called it mind boggling. that's the word you used. i i'm sure i've called it worse things you it's not. it's a complicated issue and i get it. it and there's many tenants of it. you know, we have we have many industries dependent upon migrant labor, so we can't um

welcome that labor force but not treat them with humanity. you ever think about running for office to actually do something about these? and i think the most powerful part of democracy is the citizen. i think the misconception is you have to be a politician to be political. so let's let's end where we began on the show. tell us where you will take us this season. we're going to six states. um it's such a beautiful journey. everybody's going to want to go to mexico after watching the show as you should and visit all these places, i went to but we go to mexico city, which is really a microcosm of the rest of the country because everything is represented in mexico city. we go to the yucatan, jalisco, monterey cruise and oaxaca. and it was it was really a journey of a lifetime for me, phenomenal series. i can attest to that. congratulations glad you're here. thank you. thanks to you were just saying the hockey at this gorgeous, okay? i haven't taken issue with you, poppy. why

team corn tortilla. dry not but even said that's the real deal. just because we're i'm american , that i like flour tortilla, it's much better to force a force. i you know when you want people to be great because you love them on tv or in their public life, and then they disappoint. you know she's opposite. never meet your heroes, they say, because you're inevitably be disappointed, but not her. i was amazed by her and the series of watched a few full episodes. it's incredible. so much fun so heartwarming. i loved her. and i do think she should run for office just saying i'm neither a jealous nor an envious person. except i love you. but time. next time the cnn original series eva longoria, searching for mexico premieres here sunday. 10 p.m. eastern next, the us launching strikes in syria after an american contractor was killed in a drone attack. the white house john kirby, standing by is going to
