10:01 am
i'm abby phillip in washington and you are live in the cnn newsroom, unprecedented political retribution. that is what is on the agenda in the tennessee state house right now , protesters have been at the capitol in support of the so called tennessee three democratic state lawmakers who are on the cusp of being expelled from that chamber. and any minute now the gop dominated chamber will vote on whether to remove them from office because get this. they protested on the house floor calling for stricter gun laws after the nashville shooting that left six people dead. three of whom were children. now, if the vote passes, it would be the first time in that body's entire history more than 200 years that a violation of house rules resulted in members being ousted . and so just to recap these three lawmakers, they may be stripped of their elected positions for speaking out of turn. after 39 year olds were
10:02 am
gunned down in their grade school. cnn's ryan young is on the scene for us, ryan. you've been there all morning, and emotions are clearly still running high as this process goes on. what are you learning there from the folks who have taken time out of their data gathered in support of these lawmakers? a lot of people here have been teachers and parents who came here to show their support not only for the lawmakers but to ask for some sort of gun control measures. look this entire communities still hurt by the shooting. that happened last week, and they think about the kids and the people who work at that school who lost their lives and that's been part of this conversation. we had more than 1000 people show up here this morning. braving the rain, and they're still rallying at this point because they want the lawmakers on the inside who are having discussions to hear their voices consistently? and they said, that's something they wanted to
10:03 am
president. as i was walking through here, abby, we saw some of these folks talking to each other, just about what's going on. that's all. marquez and pegasus want to ask you guys what made you feel like you need to be here? marquez today to have your voice heard about what's going on. besides being a two time war vet is about my daughters. i mean, i want them to be able to go to school and live a normal life is not normal anymore. and i feel like this. if i don't teach them with protest is then i'm not doing my thing as a father, and that's the reason why i'm here today. peggy you're you're standing right next to him. you guys were having a conversation. i see your sign. why did this touch you in terms of wanting to be here with these other protesters and to make sure lawmakers heard you guys because sandy hook after sandy hook. i thought we would have better gun laws and we didn't and now we have the covenant shootings and i feel like i have to stand up more. i got to stand up for the ones having murdered. so that's why i'm here. told me a story about being a teacher assistant and the kids reacted when they heard a loud noise in the hallway
10:04 am
after sandy hook. i was subbing a classroom. it was second grade , and in the hallway, a trade dropped. normally, when i was little, we were the k. i kinda screened and giggle and laugh. these creek kids screamed and looked at me, but they had tears . they were afraid and then i almost had tears because they're looking at me. where do we go? but it was just a trade that dropped in the hallway. as a dad in my last question, real quick . are you afraid? sometimes when you send your kids to school? yes honestly. yes i mean, i have daughters. i mean, this is not the same life i grew up in like it's not. so you hear the passion abby. and of course, we're still watching what's going on the inside, but people coming together to have their voices heard doing what we should do in democracy. abby. yeah ryan, that gentleman marquez young saying it's not normal anymore, i think reflects what a lot of people feel is happening. ryan young, thank you very much, and we will bring you more on that story as soon as we
10:05 am
know what is happening in the tennessee legislature, but first let's bring in former white house press secretary stephanie grisham, cnn political commentator s e. cupp and bruce oppenheimer. he's a political science professor at vanderbilt. professor i want to start with you because you are the expert here on this legislative process and all the protocols here to the layperson and certainly to someone who's not in the state of tennessee. this seems really wild. it seems like a clear overreaction. what do you make of it? yes abby. it doesn't fall . basic proportionality. this is way out of proportion for a violation of legislatures. decorum rules. it would be like if you were a student had been a student in my class and you would hand it in a paper a couple of days late, and you would have expected maybe to be downgraded just a little bit when the grading took place. but you wouldn't be expected. you wouldn't expect that you beat failed on the paper or even
10:06 am
worse failed in the course or i tried to get you kicked out of the university. well there at the state of if i tried to kick you out of the university for handing out of paper a couple of days late, so what? what what are some other alternatives that they could have gone to hear short of this step? requirements sure, uh, in legislatures. there's usually a process where somebody can be reprimanded or further than that. a censure where they are called before the body and form of the declaration of centuries red so those sorts of things are more normal when there are ethical violations. to have a violation, which would lead to expulsion would require an extreme ethical violation or a criminal penalty. that is a conviction, for example, campaign finance violation or bribery or in the current environment. uh some sort of
10:07 am
abuse of personnel. and you certainly don't have that in this case and see there being kicked out for basically taking a political stand that republicans in the legislature just don't like that seems really extraordinary. and it also seems like, isn't that something for voters to decide? yeah these are elected representatives, and it's really shouldn't be up to other republican house members. whether they get to stay or not. they broke rules and, as the professor said, there is a mechanism to deal with that that center but really, you know, i want to remind our viewers of three words legitimate political discourse. that is what republicans officially called the insurrection on january 6th 2021, which was violent, which led to multiple deaths and many
10:08 am
injuries, um and was an attempted crime. um they're now calling this an example of an insurrection. this was peaceful . it was purposeful. um there was no violence, and there was no attempted crimes. so just when looking at, you know the outrage and the behavior on the right. it's important to remember who these people are and where they're coming from. yeah, i mean, let's take a listen to that moment. this is the tennessee house speaker cameron sexton. talking about what happened in tennessee and comparing it to january, 6th. american there were three democrat lawmakers, one from knoxville, who basically tried to take over the house floor and cause the insurrection. what they did today was. equivalent at least equivalent, maybe worse , depending on how you look at it of doing an insurrection in the capital. stephanie to call that revisionism, i think seems to be a bit of an understatement. what do you make
10:09 am
of how this january, 6th mythology is really trickling down into the state level. well just to listen to that sound bite again and have him compared people died at the capitol. i mean, to compare it to this is it's silly, and you know, as both sc and professor said yes, there's decorum on the house floor. i worked at the house of representatives in arizona, and it is important to quorum is very important. it's how you keep you know, 100 people with varying political differences together to do the work. however this is just the timing. to say it's terrible is an is an understatement. um and it's sad because now the message of what the democrats were trying to say is completely lost. we're now talking about these republicans trying to kick these democrats out. i think the vote hasn't happened yet. you know, i think this is a real opportunity for the republicans. some republicans to show some grace and say, you know, that's not acceptable, but but we're not going to kick these people out. now let's get to the work of the
10:10 am
people and see tennessee house republicans. they already have a super majority in this chamber. they're going to be able to pass basically whatever they want. including a new set of proposed gun laws that would make it actually easier to own a gun in the state. let's not forget that's really what this is all about, is about protesting about the state of gun regulations in tennessee. so what do you think , is the political calculation here under the backdrop of this horrible murder? that literally just happened? such a terrible idea. an example of how not to read the room. um you know, ryan interviewed people who are who traveled, um to the statehouse to protest because they are sick of this in action. and we had republican lawmakers in the hours and days after that school shooting, saying publicly, the congress has no role here, and they don't plan to do anything. we just have to live with this
10:11 am
so american voters, parents were off frustrated these democratic lawmakers. i think we're representing their constituents against stephanie's right decorum is important. but there's frustration here. and so as stephanie said, it's a chance for republicans to give some grace. it's also a chance for republicans to go ahead and act like republicans and conservatives. and just because you don't get your way just because you can't convince a majority of voters to vote for your far right extremist policies doesn't mean you get to kick him out of office, and that's what republicans have decided to do. they're going after democracy. they're making it harder for you to vote to speak to protest to assemble to read books. this is a party that is really out of ideas and they were punished in the 2020 election. they were punished in the 20 to 2022 midterms, and i believe they'll probably be punished in 2024 as well. well, we'll see also what the voters in the state of tennessee have to say about all of this,
10:12 am
considering that they might be, you know, their elected representatives might be kicked out of the chamber as a result of all of this professor bruce oppenheimer. stephanie grisham s e. cupp all of you stay with us. this is a developing story. we will be back with you. as soon as more developed in tennessee, but for right now, we are also following the chaos in france as pension reform protests continue for an 11th day. this is video outside of paris, showing protesters hurling paint smoke bombs at police, who responded back with tear gas and thereby demonstrators stormed the office of the investment giant blackrock. lighting, flame flares and chanting anti reform slogans. the french government's plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. that's what has ignited similar protests all across the country. cnn's melissa bell is live for us in the french capital, melissa.
10:13 am
these protests continuing now into their 12th day, they do not seem to be slowing down. no, not at all happy. you showed those scenes from earlier this morning that march that began a few hours ago is now coming to its destination point, which is here at the plaza. in central paris, and you can see there's been quite a lot of tear gas. the air is pretty thick with it. there are flowers. you can hear those bodies. police chance very much directed at the police forces, and that's what we've seen over the course of the day. continuous scuffles along the sidelines of this march, and that is now intensifying here at this destination point is what we've tended to see. these last couple of weeks. for many weeks there had been remarkably peaceful protests where it had been the unions ready, ensuring a lot of the security police have been relatively trained what we've seen more recently, and it's happened again today is a hardened poor of protesters
10:14 am
taking on the riot police. what we've also been seeing these last couple of weeks and he is a change. in the techniques of the police with accusations allegations of police disproportionate use of force by the police. and that is something that's being investigated. you can see it seems like this how tense it can get between the size of those who are determined to take on the police in the name of fighting this reform and trying to get the government to back down. and the police who, despite the fires being lit there on the center of the along the marches length, determined to try and cause as much disruption in central paris, as they can in order to get the government to think about again. abby melissa bell in paris thank you very much and still ahead for us. new rocket attacks in israel we are live in jerusalem next. what does it mean to be ever better? it's your customers getting what they ordered when

10:19 am
now. high alert on the israeli lebanese border after dozens of rockets were fired from lebanon into israel earlier today, israel says many but not all of them were intercepted, and it has now closed down its northern airspace. this latest episode comes after israeli forces stormed the al aqsa mosque, one of islam's holiest sites for the second time late last night. israeli police say they entered the mosque after quote dozens of lawbreaking juveniles threw fireworks and stones and barricaded themselves inside all of this happening during a holy period for both islamic and jewish faiths. elliot is in jerusalem for us, elliot bring us up to speed on where things stand on the ground right now, beginning with the latest round of rocket fire. abby just this hour. we've received more reports from the i d f that there were three mortars fired
10:20 am
from southern lebanon towards the town of matula in israel's far north near the border. and this, as you say, followed a barrage of some three dozen rockets fired towards israel ear today. that's the biggest barrage since war. a war between israel and the iranian backed militants of hezbollah in 2006, but it's very important to note that israel the we spoke with the international spokesperson from the idf richard hecht, and he said that they believed that it was either hamas or palestinian islamic jihad that was responsible for firing towards israel from southern lebanon. in other words, it wasn't hezbollah and that's significant because if it was hezbollah and israel presumably will at some point retaliated says that it will decide on the place and time of its response right now. it hasn't responded contrary to earlier reports. if it was hezbollah and then israel responded towards hezbollah positions, then that could
10:21 am
potentially see things escalating, perhaps towards the level that we saw the last time there was an all out war between the two sides in 2006. the fact that it's from palestinian factions should suggest that the response will be somewhat more measured, abby all right, elliot godkin. thank you very much for that report. and for more on this now, let's bring in dennis ross. he's a longtime peace negotiator under republican and democratic administrations, including serving as a former special middle east coordinator under president clinton and a special assistant under president obama. he's now a counselor at the washington institute for near east policy, dennis, thanks for joining us first to start can you just give us your reaction to what we have seen transpire in israel over the last two days? well, look, we are. we always knew that the reality of having ramadan on one hand and pass over on the other . take place at the same time was bound to create a real potential for violence,
10:22 am
especially triggered by those who would like to see violence. we know that those who barricaded themselves within the oscar mosque last night had a very real purpose of wanting to trigger something. we know what's happened now. it was not his bola that launched these rockets from lebanon. it was hamas. and it's hamas is launching from lebanon is not launching from ghana. there were a couple that were fired by. they're basically trying to shift the focus. it signals that they don't want world war gaza, but they also feel that israel's constrained by what it can do in lebanon because of his bullet. his bull itself. allows him master operate and then claimed it had nothing to do with this. so all of this suggests that we're at a point where there is a great potential for escalation if one side or the other miscalculates yeah. i mean, i think to that point. how how likely is it given where we are right now that this could spiral out of control? what would that
10:23 am
even look like? israel undoubtedly will respond to the fact that they were three dozen rockets fired out of southern lebanon and at least three mortar shells fired into the city. the town of metula in the north. so israel what we're telling it, they will probably try to retaliate in a way that hits only those areas where hamas was operating. if they hit targets that hizbollah considers to be there's his bullet then, then his mother made then. decided they will fire rockets into israel. if the two of them begin in exchange that can easily spiral out of control quickly. hizbollah can hit israel with 3000 rockets a day or several weeks. israel won't take that they will end up going into lebanon on the ground to try to stop that, so you can see how quickly this could escalate and get out of control. my guess is neither side wants to get out of control, so it probably won't be something that escalates that way. but there's clearly a danger as i said. calculations
10:24 am
always seemed great when you're in the app factor in the laboratory when real fire begins a lot of things about the window. yeah it remains a very dangerous and volatile situation right now. former ambassador dennis ross. thank you very much for joining us. and just in to cnn. we have now learned that the pentagon is sending it to congress after action reports on the 2011 u. s withdrawal from afghanistan. now you may remember that 13 u. s service members were killed at the kabul airport during the evacuation. cnn's mj lee is joining us right now from the white house. what are we learning about this report? abby this is potentially a really significant moment. as you said, we can report now that the biden administration is going to be sending to congress after action reports on the 2021 u. s withdrawal from afghanistan . in fact, we expect this to be announced at the white house press briefing, which really is
10:25 am
expected to start any moment now. this would be a detailed examination of president biden ordering that all u. s troops were taken out of afghanistan by the end of august. 2021 you see those scenes right there so vivid. still a year and a half later, it was an incredibly chaotic situation and its view said more than a dozen u. s service members ended up being killed from a bombing attack. and then there were also stories of the chaotic evacuation and some afghan allies who had help the u. s military throughout the war, not being able to get out quickly or at all. so this is something that we did expect the administration to release sometime in early or mid april. so it's not a surprise but again a really significant moment because they could shed some significant light on what went wrong and why things didn't go as planned. because obviously this ended up being a big stain for president. biden has something that he oversaw as commander in chief, abby. and
10:26 am
something that republicans on capitol hill are keenly interested in as they investigate the vitamin installation. mj lee thank you very much for all of that. and still ahead for us a horrific new report into the archdiocese of baltimore. at least 600 kids abused over the course of more than 60 years. the attorney general of maryland joins us live next. welcome to o the next levevel. this is the lexus nx wh intuitive e tech traffic. andndr most advanced safety system ever . what do you get from the experience. listening. more than talking. and aersonalized plan to guide you through a chaing world. yes. and brian gary. and today we're talking about the
10:27 am
biggest misconception there is about replacement windows. i'm here with ted coons, the project manager for renewal by anderson to talk about it. one of the big things we hear from homeowners is i shouldn't need to replace my windows. they're just not that old. but here's the thing home builders put in high end kitchens and bathrooms and low end windows. just aren't that good? so even if your windows are only 7 to 10 years old, they may still need to be replaced this so many window companies out there. what's different about your company? well, besides being the full service replacement window division of anderson where the company people tend to call when they're particular about their home. they don't want just any old windows installer, so your standards for installers are pretty high. right brian, you can have the best window or door in the world, and if it's not installed correctly, it's gonna fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters and siding on the side window installation teams. do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them. anytime a homeowner has

narration, production and digital distribution 3 betrayal of trust. today the catholic archdiocese of baltimore is reeling from a horrific report from the maryland attorney general. it reveals 60 years of sexual abuse and cover ups more than 600 children abused and more than 150. priests and other employees are accused in that report. cnn's jean casarez has been reading through this massive report. so, jean, can you walk us through some of these findings here? well, you're you're right. it's six decades is what they looked at of abuse in the catholic church that was covered up and i think that's an important point in the baltimore archdiocese. now the clergy involved there are listed in the report. names of at least 156. there are a few that are redacted. but i looked at those names, and it involves everyone
10:32 am
from priests. male priests are the main alleged offenders. in all of this. i did see some sisters, some nuns that were in there, along with with other clergy and personnel and deacons. but the report goes into great detail that the victims were plied with alcohol and with drugs, so they were not able to do anything, and then they were coerced to engage in these sexual acts. i want to read a portion from the attorney general's report because it says it very, very strongly quote from the 19 forties. the route 2000 to over 100, priests and other archdiocese personnel engaged in horrific and repeated abuse of the most vulnerable children in their communities, while archdiocese leadership looked the other way, time and again members of the church's hierarchy resolutely refused to acknowledge allegations of child sexual abuse. for as long as
10:33 am
possible, and to date $13.8 million has been given to victims. there's been an issue with statue of limitations, but yesterday both houses have passed in maryland, the child abuse act of 1920 23 is going to the governor for signature, which would eliminate any statute of limitations. for the victim's child victims of sexual abuse. abby alright jean casarez . thank you very much for breaking all of that down for us. and joining me now is anthony brown, the maryland attorney general who oversaw and released this report. attorney general brown thank you for joining us. this report really is shocking, almost nauseating. really when you read the details. i want to start, though , where jean left off about what happens now, the statute of limitations is likely to now be extended on the civil side. but is there any criminal recourse for any individuals accused here who might still be alive? let me
10:34 am
just start first abby by thanking the survivors for their courage and their candor and coming forward for many of the survivors we interviewed. they've told their stories over and over again. never believe certainly by the archdiocese of baltimore, and for some survivors. it was the first time they told their stories, so we tried to document and to reveal as much detail as possible. the horrid, horrible trauma that they suffered your question about criminal prosecutions. there is one person who we indicted and is facing criminal prosecution. the trial date is set for sometime in june. the sad reality is that maryland law has tied my hands. the these offenses back in the forties fifties through the nineties were misdemeanors, and the statute of limitations has run some unable to bring a criminal case against them. in some situations, the abuser agreed to
10:35 am
a plea deal with the local prosecutor, so i'm unable to take further action. and in some cases that the users are have died their deceased so we without further information, i don't i'm not looking at right now. the ability to bring criminal action against individuals or even the archdiocese at this time. and just to be clear. you said maryland law ties your hands. is that something that you think can or should be changed? well when it comes to criminal law, you can't change the law today to apply retroactively. um but what is happening today in the maryland general assembly and about an hour after we released our report yesterday, the general assembly, um, basically eliminated the statute of limitations on civil actions, so survivors are able to bring cases against their abusers and
10:36 am
against the archdiocese of baltimore. um, it's a it's a long road ahead, and my office has stated to the general assembly that we will defend the constitutionality of that law if and when it's challenged. many of the abusers in this report as jean was saying they are named, but there are several who are not. i wonder if you can tell us why those names are not redacted . uh and, um, you know, are you looking into those individuals? perhaps they are still alive. maybe they're not in clergy anymore. but there elsewhere in the country. why are those names not not wire those names not revealed in the report. sure the names and a lot of the information we got that went into the report, uh, was gained through a grand jury subpoena and that information is always confidential unless they court orders their release. so in this
10:37 am
case, the judge in the baltimore city circuit court said for those number, i think there are 10 to 12 names are redacted. notify them like in the context in which they are included in the report. they'll have an opportunity to file objections with the court. my office also will weigh in arguing that they should be revealed, and the court will ultimately make a decision so that will happen over time. um but we wanted to make sure that we got the 450 plus pages out as soon as we could so that the survivors finally could have their story heard by the public. and notable there that you're saying you do want those names to be revealed lawfully if they are able to be maryland attorney general anthony brown. thank you so much for joining us on this story, and our hearts go out to all the victims of these horrible crimes over the years, but still ahead

10:43 am
of clarence thomas and his wife, ginny thomas, with crow and others during a trip to indonesia back in 2019. the report says that the thomases flew on crow's private jet to indonesia for the nine day luxury vacation, one that they say is valued at more than $500,000. propublica goes on to say that the extent and frequency of crows apparent gifts to thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the united states supreme court. and just minutes ago, senate majority whip dick durbin had this to say quote the propublica report is a call to action and the senate judiciary committee will act. cnn supreme court reporter ariana de vogue is joining us now with more on this very eyebrow raising story . so ariane how unprecedented is this? really? it's unheard of at the supreme court. this propublica report really detailing these lavish trips that justice clarence thomas took and were paid for by this
10:44 am
mega donor and trips like you said. new zealand, indonesia on private jets, private yachts, private resorts, but what's really important here is to put this into context because it comes as the supreme court right now is under this white hot spotlight where more and more people are thinking that the court has becoming more political. lesser judicial branch more like just another political branch. and you see congress right now it's moving. it wants more ethics disclosure . he himself, thomas is arguably the most conservative member of the court. and, of course, his wife, jenny thomas came under fire several months ago for text that she sent to members of trump's team in an effort to overturn election results. so this is all coming when the supreme court is in the middle of this swirling controversy, and it it causes trouble for clarence thomas and course what
10:45 am
they're saying now is harlan crow, this dallas businessman. he was the one who paid for this. it was never disclosed, and he has given more. according to propublica than $10 million in political contributions over the years. yeah i mean, that's really stunning. so ari on what has harlan crow said about all of this? well he did release a statement that we got a copy of, he said. we have never asked about a pending or lower court case, and justice thomas has never discussed one and we have never sought influence justice thomas on any legal or political issue. i says he's unaware of any of our friends ever lobbying or seeking to influence justice thomas. but the thing is, it really does put a spotlight on ethics at the supreme court because the judicial conference just recently amended did its own rules, and it would cover things like staying in a private resort private jets, it said that those things have to be
10:46 am
disclosed. so maybe arguably thomas could say look before that. they didn't need to be disclosed, so i didn't have to disclose it. but there's also federal law in place, and it says that members of the judiciary should not accept anything of value from a person whose interests may be substantially affected again. language that might suggest that this kind of trip. this kind of money should have been disclosed. clarence thomas, or neither. clarence thomas or the supreme court has decided to give any kind of statement right now, but it comes as all eyes are on the supreme court. yeah absolutely. and as you said the federal law talks about anything of value that these are a lot of very valuable things. i think most people would agree with that aryan devote. thank you very much and still ahead for us . the skin cancer scare for actor hugh jackman and his message to others. dr. sanjay gupta joins us next.

on inflation is to cool the extremely hot jobs market, which so far has proven to be pretty resilient in the face of jerome powell's aggressive rate hikes. and now to another story, hugh jackman says that he is in the clear after his latest skin cancer scare. the good news comes just one day after he shared that he had undergone two biopsies on his nose. now jackman, who was first diagnosed with skin cancer back in 2013 is also issuing this plea to his fans. put some sunscreen on. you'll still have a incredible time out there. all right. please be safe. cnn's chief medical correspondent, dr sanjay gupta is joining me now, sanjay i too am a sunscreen evangelize , er. so how important are the warnings like the one that he just issued to a lot of people who love him as an actor? uh it is critically important. it's kind of amazing how few people use sunscreen. abby i think
10:53 am
people just don't think about it. they don't worry about it. as much as you know, maybe they should when we talk about these types of skin cancers, and what was what hugh jackman was referring to something known as basal cell skin cancer in the united states. you get about roughly 5.5 6 million people. who are diagnosed every year. eight out of 10 are those basil cell cancers, which which he was talking about. now to be clear. death is not common with this, but they can spread and they can require sometimes significant procedures to remove. let me show you quickly. abby. we have this graphic here just to show you when you think about your skin. you have your epidermis. you have your dermis. most people know these layers. epidermis is about the thickness of a credit card. for example, it's that layer that we're talking about. you have squamous cells. you have these basal cells, and you also have milana sites, and any of those can be mutated by the sun by uv light exposure and potentially turn into a cancer. so the basil cells you can see there on the right side of the screen. that's what hugh jackman was talking
10:54 am
about. that's what was of concern for him. and as he also pointed out in that instagram video you just showed um, it was about 25 years ago that he had a lot of sun exposure. you can accumulate that risk over time, which is why you have to be careful even from a very young age. yeah yeah. you think about your kids as well outside in the sun. so how often should people get screened for skin cancer? and what do the warning signs look like? so if you've had a history of any kind of skin cancer, you should be getting screened regularly. but you can do a lot of this yourself. and i just take this through this with you quickly. doctors medical people they like acronyms. so a b c d e. if you have a skin lesion or a mole is that asymmetric is the border changing is the color changing is it getting bigger, smaller diameter, and is it evolving in some way if that's happening? that's when you should get it checked out. and one other thing. i mean, as a person of color myself. i think a lot of
10:55 am
people of color don't think that they need to wear sunscreen they do and what do people need to know about how to wear sunscreen properly? yeah i mean, i totally hear you on that and anybody can be at risk. first of all, just a couple of quick things spf of 30 or more. also think about uv a and uv protection will show you why here in a second, make sure that it's broad spectrum. where it on sunny or cool days. let's put up that graphic really quick , uv a and uv b the uv b. you can see that's the one that hits the epidermis increases your risk of cancer. but you ve a is the one that sort of ages you because it's hitting those layers underneath the epidermis. that can be a problem as well. you want to protect against both really quickly to our point. abby 12.3% of men wear sunscreen on a sunny day 29% of women. those numbers are way too low. this is easy and you can protect yourself against something that could be a real nuisance later in life. yeah it's so important . and it's so readily available . dr sanjay gupta. thank you so
