the u. s strikes. us still has roughly 900 troops on the ground in syria to help fight what's left of isis. just yesterday there commander warned congress that iran has been using proxy militias to attack american soldiers with drones and rockets. the white house. national security spokesman john kirby joins us now he's in ottawa. traveling with the president. good morning to you, sir. we appreciate you joining us here. can you please walk us through the president's decision to authorize this retaliatory strike. what did he and others have to weigh? he had a discussion with his national security team on the way up here to ottawa. in the wake of the drone strike on our base in syria and received recommendations from the from the defense department leaders and the intelligence community about what response options could look like he made the

decision very, very shortly in that discussion to authorize the strikes against these particular targets. is there anything you can tell us about the u. s contractor killed. i'm afraid not. i mean, we're trying to give the family some time and in space here to grieve. they just got devastating news yesterday. we do know that he was an american citizen and a contractor working for us at that particular base. but again , poppy, i think you can understand where we're going to give them a little bit of privacy right now, just to follow to poppy's question there. what are the things that us can the us do anything to help keep the personnel and u s contractsafe tre? well, the actions that we took yesterday are part and parcel that effort, don, i mean we're going to work to protect our people and our facilities as best we can. it's a dangerous environment. you said it at the top were there to defeat isis to ensure the enduring defeat of

isis. they are still a threat in syria. they are still a threat in iraq. nowhere near what they were back in 2014, of course, but they're still there. they're still plotting. they're still planning there. so resourcing, they're still training and obviously they're still capable of conducting operations. and we've got militant groups that that are supported by iran, that are the ones conducting these attacks against our troops and our facilities. we're going to continue to do whatever we can to defend themselves, and if we have to retaliate like we did yesterday, we'll do that. i think the question also become sort of. how is this measured? and is this an act? that is indicative of what is to come. we know that iran has been building these increasingly sophisticated ah drones selling them to russia, for example, in the fight against ukraine, and it was just striking that yesterday, john it was the commander of us forces in the middle east. at this hearing on capitol hill, who said this listen. 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 literally, is what happened overnight. do you believe that these attacks could be considered an act of war by iran? we don't seek a war with iran. we're not looking for an armed conflict with that country or another war in the region. we do seek to protect our mission in syria, which is about defeating isis and we do seek to make sure we can protect our people and our facilities against these iran backed groups. these are militant groups that iran is funding, re sourcing, even training and they've got facilities there. iran and the irgc has facilities there in syria, from which a lot of that resourcing and training and facilitation occurs and it was against some of th targets again that we that we struck back last night. let me see how else i can ask you this question, because my question. i think bobby's question. it's like, what can we do preemptively? not into. because

this is we retaliated. do you mean the united states retaliated? iranian proxies have attacked us forces about 78 times with unmanned aerial vehicles. that was since 2021. that's according to the pentagon. so the question is. how do you stop it from happening again? i'm talking preemptively. i don't mean retaliating for strike when they strike us, but preemptively, john i appreciate the question. i appreciate the question. look we were not seeking a conflict with iran. as i said, we've been very clear with the iranians and with our partners about how serious we are. the mission that we're doing in syria is and how much we're going to protect that mission. uh iran should not be involved in supporting these attacks on on our facilities are on our people. we've made that very, very clear. we're going to continue to be vigilant to monitor this as best we can. but look, i think if you broaden this back out a little bit, you've got a country in iran, who is supporting now drone strikes in ukraine, helping mr

putin continued to kill innocent ukrainian. you have innocent ukrainians. you have iran supporting terrorist groups throughout the middle east, whether it's hamas or hezbollah , targeting our allies and partners in israel, and of course, you've got iran conducting maritime threats to shipping in and out of the persian gulf. they're continuing to grow a burgeoning ballistic missile programs. so to your question what we've got to do is make sure that we have adequate military capabilities to meet our security requirements throughout the region to counter into towards iran's destabilizing behavior, and we're going to do that. and you heard a lot of that from general carol yesterday. we certainly did. the timing was just striking. given what he warned of and what happened. let let me just end on if we could given that you are the national security council coordinator for strategic communications. the other a another national security concern is tiktok, and we saw what happened at the hearing with the ceo of tiktok yesterday. um, the i want to ask you about an exchange between, uh congressman bach and

secretary blinken. listen. well you said the challenge opposes. is it a threat to the united states? security i believe that it is yes, and shouldn't a threat to united states security be banned? they do it to us. why don't we do it to them should be ended 11 way or another in their different ways of doing that. now that you've heard for hours from the ceo of tiktok, is it the bible administration's position that tiktok is more of a national security threat and previously believed or less of one did he convince you mr. his testimony didn't change our view one way or the other puppy that there are real national security challenges with respect to that application. that's why the president has banned it from government devices. we have concerns over data. we have concerns over privacy. we have concerns over information sharing and the flow of that information back to beijing. that's why it's banned on government devices. there is, as

you know, an ongoing committee on foreign investment review independent, of course into tiktok into apple. haitians like tiktok, we gotta we gotta let that process play out. independent. don't want to get ahead of that. that's taken years if he s review, and that's why the house that's why congress is getting involved. i just want to ask you before don moves on to another important topic, and that is tony blinken said in that, the secretary of lincoln said in that sound bite about tiktok quote. it should be ended one way or another. is that the position then of the vitamin ist rations? we obviously want to deal with all national security threats in the appropriate way and mitigate or end them as much as we can with secretary blinken is referring to is there's different ways to do that, and he was being careful again not to get ahead of this citius review. we've got to let that play out. but we are certainly willing to continue to work with congress to deal with the challenges here presented by tiktok. we've got to talk to you about. during this, we see beautiful backdrop in ottawa behind you. you're in canada with the president. cnn has learned that the u. s and canada

have struck now. this deal on changes to a decades old asylum. elam agreement that would restrict certain migrants seeking protections in canada. what can we expect to hear from president biden and from justin trudeau today? the president's real excited to be here in ottawa to meet with prime minister trudeau, they'll have some bilateral discussions will get a chance to address parliament and then he'll obviously he and the prime minister will talk to members of the press corps and i think migration will clearly be top on the agenda of the concerns that these two leaders are going to discuss. in addition to other things, like like climate change , and certainly trade, economic practices, maybe and the situation in haiti there's a lot on the agenda. migration will certainly be discussed. i won't get ahead of any thing that the prime minister. the president might say specifically about it , but this is a shared regional challenge. and when they were both in mexico city for the north american leaders summit, they all talked about the fact that we've got to take a holistic, comprehensive regional approach here. there are more people on the move in the

western hemisphere right now than there has been since world war two. it's staggering the numbers of people that are moving throughout the hemisphere and affects canada's certainly affects the united states. we've got to take a holistic approach , and i think you're going to see both leaders talk about that. that approach today. john kirby in ottawa with the president. thank you, john. we appreciate it. you bet this morning trying to says it would quote firmly opposed any for sale of tiktok. it is the first direct response to the vitamin ist rations. demand that the apps chinese owner sell that part of their company or potentially face a ban. this response from beijing came just hours after the ceo of tiktok was grilled on capitol hill. lawmakers raised concerns about its ties to beijing. my dance is not owned or controlled by the chinese government. there are more than 100 and 50 million americans who love our platform , and we know we have a responsibility to protect them. he tried to convince lawmakers

that this app should not be banned. he faced claims that tiktok is a quote weapon of the chinese communist party to spy on users. that was a claim. we should note that there has been no public evidence presented to support that claim, but lawmakers really appeared unconvinced. i have seen no evidence that the chinese government has access to that data. they have never asked us. we have not provided. you know what? i've asked that question. i find that actually preposterous. i have looked and i have seen no evidence of this happening. and in order to assure everybody here and all our users, our commitment is to move the data in into the united states to be stored on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel. i don't believe that tiktok has you have said or done anything. to convince us that that that information the personal information of 150 million americans that the chinese government is not going to give that up. let's bring in cara

swisher, host of the podcast on with cara swisher. and, of course, pivot morning. it's been awhile, kara. good to see you know how you doing? good to see you. good to see you. so do you heard what john kirby had to say? poppy had the you know great questions asking him. what do you want to respond to what he had to say? well i mean, the issue is how are they going to do it? because you know the trump administration and sort of tried this along the edges before and it's really hard because they can say they want to ban it. they've got to actually ban it because they need as as mr chu talked about evidence. they have to show their evidence that this is a threat, and that's why it's going through the various agencies of government, including the committee on foreign investment, the u. s so i think they can say they want to ban it banning. it's going to be a lot harder because the something called the first amendment here. and selling. it's hard because of something we call capitalism and they may not be able to be forced to sell it without proof. also china's 2020 law protecting intellectual

property might really block of sale as well in terms of selling it to us company. do you think i know this won't be a popular question, but hmm. do you think what happened yesterday on capitol hill was productive and fair to the american people. there were a lot of times and he didn't even get to fully answer. well that's typical. right. you've seen these hearings. it's sort of like this is what they do with all the social media is really matters. nothing yeah, but it mattered. it mattered when they didn't do anything about facebook and privacy and algorithms and antitrust. what they do is they like to put on a show and then do precisely nothing. this is their version of doing something which is calling attention to it, and then giving a speech. but they've got to actually do things and it applies to not just, uh, tiktok. it's a special case, certainly because of the worries about the chinese government, and they're good worries and concerns. they kept saying the word concerns to have it's just they've got it. they've never done it with anything else. and now suddenly they're all incensed about

privacy. this is an issue globally, and it's definitely more of an issue because this is a company based in china, and they should have these concerns and including national security concerns, but they need proof and they need to do some nothing about it, and that's going to be more difficult and you know they could you know, i don't believe it. it's preposterous. well show me the proof. unfortunately that's what they've got to do here. and they haven't done that yet. well, that's a question then because let's talk more about that, because there has yet there has not been any public evidence that shows that china is actually spying on people through tiktok. there's been a little bit in a little bit with journalists with the with the journalist, right, and they have said this is a rogue reporter. i mean, i think the problem with that is actually, that road report was a rogue employee of tiktok. now that's the issue of a rogue ploy. he could get that information so could and probably does the chinese government. i just don't know, and i think that's what they have to figure out. they have to prove that and in the case of the reporter, it did happen, but they're saying it

was a rogue employee. so you know in a one time thing, and that's happened in other companies to spying tech twitter i recall there was one in facebook, etcetera. do they need to show americans more proof? and then other just the example that you mentioned yeah, they do they need to. they need to show that it's a national security issue, because unless that they don't do that they're going to need an act of congress. and then you have the first amendment and judges have been very loathe to do this, including the trump administration, so it's a long way from saying i cannot believe you, sir, to actually doing something about it, and that's the difficulty and then we're in the middle of a really tense period with china, and so there's going to be retaliation. obviously but they actually can't retaliate much because none of our companies are there, and that's a really big issue that they can operate here, and we cannot operate there as freely and that's that's. that's something that needed to be addressed for many years but hasn't been either. you never know where kara swisher is going to be is a san francisco washington is in new york, francisco francisco super early

response was not adequate because it ultimately led to the fbi performing a search approved by a court at mara lago, finding hundreds more classified records . evan corcoran was the point person in responding to the federal government as they were investigating this criminally last year leading up to that search, so we think that he's going to asking questions about that, but i want to emphasize how critical of a day this is for the special counsel's investigation. this has been an extremely active grand jury. we know that there have been lots of people subpoenaed to it. more than two dozen who are working around the president or at mara lago with the grand jury was even active yesterday, but this is different today. it's because this is a defense lawyer for donald trump, and he's being forced to come back in here and testify to the grand jury in secret answer questions that trump's team fought very hard not to have him answer, and we also expect him to turn over documents hand. written notes he has if he hasn't turned those

over ready to the justice department so rare to have that attorney client privilege punctured in a way like this, caitlin thanks very much, john. alright so how is this solved all this legal scrutiny of the former president playing with voters around the country? we invited a trio of reporters to tell us what they're hearing in their states is very important. so pay attention to this because it's not just what's happening in new york and washington and on the coast editorial writer for the star tribune in minneapolis is patricia lopez, access reporter from phoenix, arizona, jeremy duda and political editor with the tampa bay times in florida, emily mahoney. thank you all for joining us, emily, i'm going to start with you and good morning to you. by the way. i know it's quite early for jeremy. so i really appreciate jeremy joining all of you, but especially jeremy emily. i'm going to start with you in florida in florida. where um, where governor ron desantis poses the greatest potential threat to trump's 2024 run, however, is reacting to all of these investigations. right

so even before some of the latest news with these investigations, i've been talking to voters, you know, covering various events where governor ron desantis has sort of been ramping up this this campaign or shadow campaign for president and among desantis supporters, you know who really overlap with people who voted for donald trump in 2016 and 2020. there has been a growing sense that donald trump could really be hindered both politically and in a potential administration by what they see as mounting sort of deep state resistance to him, and i think that the latest revelations with these investigations will really only add to that sense that he faces so much resistance that they're turning to ron desantis as an alternative person who they see as being more likely to be successful politically and also would be able to have more control over his own administration. and i think that

these like i said, the latest news kind of will only add to that sentiment. so emily, the two shorthand what you're saying here too much drama. enough is enough. they're ready to move on to some someone else is that what you're saying? i think so. i mean, obviously, florida is not exactly, um, you know, representative of the entire country because desantis just won reelection here by more than 19 points, and so he is very popular here. but i do think that is the sentiment among, um trump slash two santas supporters here in the state. on the other hand, i will also say, though, that trump and desantis of both proven very adept at taking up a lot of oxygen in the news cycle and in florida. typically we talk almost 24 7 about desantis. he's very good at producing headlines at a very steady pace. he does so intentionally and with all of the trump news recently, and with these investigations, sort of looming over the country, it has very dramatically sort of reoriented the conversation in the news cycle even here in

florida, where desantis is now being asked about trump having in to form a position on these investigations. and so i think if this continues it will prove interesting because trump is now sort of once again at the center of the republican universe. gotcha. okay jeremy, i want to come to you now because during the 2022 midterms, several trump picked candidates were defeated in their racist carry lake for governor, um, secretary of state candidate mark finch in and also attorney general candidate a holiday. what does that say about trump's influence in your state? and do these investigations move the needle for voters? yeah, well, i think what it says about trump's influences that police as of last year, he still has a tremendous amount of influence within the republican primaries , perhaps a lot less. so in the general election, this is still look at the voter registration numbers of somewhat red, red leaning states. but you saw democrats run the table and all these big statewide races last year, and i think the general sentiment is because it's because of all these trump

backed candidates who came out of the primary. now so far, i don't think the news out of new york is really filtering down much to voters yet here in arizona, but if that indictment comes, which seems like that's it's expected, it will be fascinating to see the effect that has on the primary. i think it could have the effect of pushing folks away from trump a little more. at least you know, there's a lot of republicans who want to see that influence diminished in the primaries next year. we have probably one of the biggest senate races in the country coming up next year. it could also have the effect of galvanizing his supporters, probably the leading in perspective. canada for the senate is kari lake, the republican gubernatorial candidate who was defeated last year. very closely allied with former president trump. she was at mara lago for his presidential announcement. she's being spoken of as a possible running mate if he's the nominee , so when that comes, she will certainly no rally around him a lot of her supporters well as well. so it will be interesting to see if that kind of gives her a booze. i think she's already probably viewed as the leading candidate if she gets it, and

that could kind of alter that a little more. yeah it's interesting because it goes back to the what happened during the midterms and the qualified candidates argument that republicans were making like mitch mcconnell. we need to run qualified candidates and also republican leaders in congress as well saying the same thing, patricia, i want to turn to you. minneapolis was ground zero for social justice protests following george floyd's murder. with trump famously tweeting when the looting starts the shooting starts and calling the protesters, thugs, among other things. what is the average voter think about these investigations and how it would affect trump in the primaries? i think you know, minnesota as a whole has some serious trump fatigue. um and the best evidence of that is in the november elections. voters completely swept democrats and the power at the highest lels. there are no high level republicans to even fly the flag for trump party leaders. don't talk about him. um i think the reaction has been muted. at best

, our governor tim walz said earlier that while he you know, everyone has a right to protest all of their um yeah. officials were looking for signs of possible planned protests, civil disturbance, something that might be akin to what happened earlier, and they've found no evidence of . what is the issues that voters are talking about? as we head towards 2020 for going to start with you. patricia if you can give me a quick what are the issues? what are people concerned about minneapolis and we're in the area you cover. i think you know they're concerned about crime. they're concerned about education about health care that the usual but they're also quite alarmed at the anti trans anti gay legislation that's sweeping the country. i think they want to, um, guard against that. i mean, it's not uniform. um rural quota tends to be more

conservative. uh, but yeah. it's um it's not, um. it's not. it's not a uniform thing. they have to, um yeah. all right, jeremy. well, obviously, inflation is a big concern all over the some of the highest inflation rates in the country. i think probably voters are focused on that more than anything. you know the border. we're right here. right here on the us mexico border. this is always a major concern in arizona. i think especially after what we've seen the last couple of years. attempts to undermine elections. i think that has kind of moved the needle a bit and really filtered down to the electorate. and he still see you know some of that going on now at the legislature. um and then, you know. we'll have to see what really kind of rises to the forefront of voters. you know, by the time the elections roll around next year, but i think those three issues, especially

if inflation in the border, always going to be at the forefront of the voter's minds out here. all right, emily yeah , i would echo similar things here in florida. education is always top of mind for people and florida has also experienced a good chunk of the inflation and, um, is also experiencing just a rapid loss of affordability here because of an influx of new residents, in part , and so i think that economic issues are always are always top of mind and particularly our appointment here in florida right now. fascinating to hear from all three of you and again. we really appreciate you joining us here. we hope that you'll come back and great reporting. thanks so much to patricia lopez, emily mahoney and jeremy duda. poppy interesting. i loved . that was great, right, but they talk about education, affordability, right? and we're not on the ground in those states. they are covering it day in and day out. that was great. don thank you okay, so coming up controversial judicial reforms and now a new law. that protects

prime minister or declare them unfit for office. his critics are condemning it, saying, it's just an effort to protect his own job. remember tanya, who is still in the middle of an ongoing corruption trial, so let's bring in our jake tapper, cnn chief washington correspondent anchor of the lead and state of the union because, jake you just sat down for that long primetime interview with netanyahu. and now this defiance says i'm gonna be doing all these things that help him. well, it's an interesting because the attorney general of israel has said that netanyahu is breaking the law because there was a court mandated conflict of conflict of interest agreement when his government formed in which he agreed to not do anything related to the judiciary, given the fact that he's on trial for these separate corruption charges, and he seems to not be at least according to the attorney general of israel, adhering to that agreement by actually taking steps to weaken

the judiciary. the move that just happened obviously makes it tougher for judges for judiciary to remove a prime minister, and actually he now after that law passed, and that netanyahu said that his hands are no longer tied. so there is a brazenness about this, and i guess we'll see how it plays out in terms of netanyahu trying to weaken the independent judiciary in israel. i want to talk to you about something else because i can't wait to see this tonight. is this something that has a huge cultural impact? you sat down with the star and the co creator of the smash hit ted lasso. i mean, everyone is talking about ted last. alright jason sudeikis is who i'm talking about an interview. it's going to air tonight. nine o'clock on cnn. it's let's preview the conversation. then we'll get your response. here it is. since i've known you, you've always been very in touch with your humanity you've always been very in touch with, like and acknowledging of insecurities, imposter syndrome. i mean, you talked very openly about this sure, and it's such a part of

the dna of ted lasso. um why, like what does that come from? i think again this innate sense that we're all more similar than sometimes we're allowed to feel or want to feel there is something worse out there than being sad and that is being alone and being sad. ain't nobody in this room alone, and i don't think i was always that way. or maybe i was, but i would only share it with a few people. sometimes maybe people didn't know that. well, um but i also didn't want to burden folks with it. and i think any of us can feel that way. we don't want to burden our stuff. who with other people, because we don't think we're worthy of it. we don't think they want to hear it and i still struggle with it. so this is more relatable to. i think everyone especially coming out of covid right in dealing with we still don't know, um the impact of mental health issues following covid, but it's something that many of us on the

arab been very transparent about depression, getting therapy and so on and so forth. i don't think it was a surprise to you that jason's decades would admit that imposter syndrome in such and such, i think many, many people suffer from issues like that. yeah and i think it's one of the reasons why jason has been so successful in this role taking what was kind of just a funny ad campaign idea in 2013 and taking and turning it into this award winning show. it's only been there only been two seasons and they've already won 11 emmys and broken records for premieres on apple tv, plus and i think it's that humanity the acknowledgement of the humanity that comes through in ted lasso . that is one of the reasons why especially emerging as it did in 2020, in the midst of covid in the midst of a pretty nasty political season. why so many people have found comfort in it, why it has become such a cultural phenomenon, and they were just at the white house discussing mental health talking

about this, i mean, even elevating the issue even more. yeah no, it's remarkable. and we talked about that, too. obviously jason when he was on snl, he would play joe biden, uh , thought rather hilariously. i thought his i thought his biden was the best biden's of all the bidens. but of course it was a different button. it was 4008 biden not not the 2023 biden but , um, so that was interesting, too, that he got to that he had this encounter with president biden, who he had played. still hilarious effect previously. can't wait to see it tonight. my favorite jason sudeikis, snl was the tracksuit, the gold chain backup dancer. that's my favorite one. yeah can't wait on what up with that. whatever class up with that? what up with that? thank you. it's good to see you, jake. we'll be watching this weekend. have a great weekend. alright guys watching tonight as well. thank you. sit down. interview with jason sudeikis airs on cnn, cnn primetime. that's tonight. nine

here in new york city. hello do you get welcome? you said you're not usually up this early. so let me get your second shifters don. too early. you got it. at midnight last night. you get caught up in the emotion when you're doing it, because you can't fake that right? no you're in it. that's the beauty of it. that's why i wanted to do this job in the first place. is to be in the scene, you know, feel the energy of the scene, and, uh, just all that comes with it and it's you did get totally wrapped up in it. they've been putting these cameras on us. you know, they've been showing the announcers kevin harlan had one that kind of blew up on social. so i'm a little hesitant to be seen in the moment like this, but, yeah, this was some game and one of the best games i've seen. i've been doing the tournament since 2012. this kansas state michigan state game was right up there with one of the best i've ever seen and called it was. it was something. how about that moment while cats, star point guard or kiss noel and there's this moment, let's play it as we talk about it. why do you walk through

people? what's happening here? okay so there's two versions of it. was it a bit? that's the question, they said after the game, jerome tang, the head coach, and mark, he's noel said no. they were actually arguing. and then he saw his teammate, backdoor cut any through the lob to him, but i don't know it may have looked like a little bit of a play playing a little possum. you get the defense to fall asleep and then boom. so its artistry. it's a beautiful play and it was a key player in the game as well. what do you guys see? whatever it was, it worked. i mean, can we if we can play it again because you look you can see a lot of things. things out of your periphery. he doesn't exactly over right over. but i mean, i mean, broadway's right down the road. are they acting are they? is it real? it was it was a monumental moment, and i think it certainly took michigan state by surprise. surprise you. yeah. it did because i'm thinking there may be a time out here. they're they're arguing while the point guard is dribbling up the floor that's somewhat normal, but to be able

to spring into action that quick and then fire that had an amazing game, but that's like marky snow. well um, he had what? his record all time 19 assists mhm from harlem dropping staff here. producers wrote it on the sheet. can we? are we really to read this thing without my glasses? i'm like, wait a minute. just ask everybody. we got to pretend that i know what happened last night, so he set a record for assistant a game assist when you set up your teammate for a point , so he scored 20 himself, but he actually assisted 19 define assistant for me. okay i do know that. okay just scolded me. put on your glasses earlier conversation i thought we were going to have to caitlin a couple of layers there, but anyway, so he also had five steals. when you take a ball, okay? okay okay. okay here here . the steel at the end of the game that basically secured the game, so one team scored more points than the other and that's my god. i'm leaving anyway. that's how it ended. so he ended up making a lay up at the end of

the game for a five point when so, if you're a gambler that might have an effect. ask was that yesterday before what a transport portal portal? yes i was like we had this frame. none of the transfer of self explanatory party. was like, what are they talking about? i hope they don't come to me next up or get into it any upsets or surprises? we're always up for it in the tournament. that's why it's the madness. i think you know princeton is going to be fun to watch tonight. the two number one seeds are in play tonight. alabama and houston. so um there's been a lot of turnover. there's been teams mid majors, teams that like florida atlantic, who won our second game last night is now in the elite eight will match up against kansas. can you say something nice about alabama for caitlyn because she's gone to the overall number one seed? they are the team that is expected to win national championships. i know what that means. thank you, brian. brian appreciate it. have a great weekend and we'll be watching
