tv. like, did you get a haircut? we're glad you are with us. and it is wow. very busy news friday . let's get started with the five things to know for this. friday april 7th 2023, tennessee republican led tennessee's republican led house has expelled two of its democratic members for violating house rules during a gun reform protests. one of them is justin jones. and he will join us live this morning. a story that is we have so much to cover on that plus escalation in the middle east israel launching airstrikes into southern lebanon and the gaza strip. the move comes after a barrage of rocket attacks were reported in israel. biden administration proposing a rule that would forbid a ban on trans athletes. the rule, however, would allow some exceptions to be made also story. daniels speaking out, saying she is quote absolutely willing to testify in the manhattan district attorney's case against former president trump. she's telling piers morgan. she doesn't think the charges against him, though, are quote

worthy of incarceration. also jpmorgan's jamie diamond, sitting down poppy and telling her that the banking crisis has also now raised the odds of a recession. he does still see some positives in the economy that exclusive wide ranging interview. you can only see here cnn this morning starts right now. what happened on the tennessee for last night in tennessee. i was just gonna say that. i mean crazy. it was like nothing you've ever seen before. i mean , it's only happened. this is the third time this happened right? the civil war, which is just remarkable in and of itself, since reconstruction that you know, pete, someone has been expelled. it's just and why a lot of people had believe it has to do with race. two of the black ones white, the white one did not get expelled every herself the same everyone is weighing in from the current president to the former president. exactly right. and by

the way, when they took the time to do this, these expulsions well was the house and the body not doing not addressing. the crisis of the school, shooting gun violence, and that's what they wanted to them to address and they got expelled for it to of them. at least yes. so we're gonna talk about that a lot this morning. it's where we begin with outrage and protests at tennessee state capitol after republicans voted to expel two young black democrats from the statehouse. lawmakers were defiant with their fists raised as they walked in before the vote. it came one week after they protested on the house foreign demanded gun reform in the wake of the school shooting at covenant elementary that happened just a few miles from the state capital. here's how the crowd reacted to their expulsion. mr clark, take the vote. protesters screamed and

booed and shouted their disapproval from that balcony above the expelled lawmakers are calling for protests to come back next week. every week. until this session adjourns. we will return whether we're inside the chamber outside the chamber. we said we want a ban on assault weapons, they said. we're going to start democracy. same full, shameful. ryan young has been covering all of this for days. now. he joins us again this morning. they are vowing to keep this fight going. they're vowing to be there. whether there officially in the in the body or not. i think you guys summed it up pretty well. this morning. people were in shock yesterday when this happened look, they believe that the expulsion could happen. but the fact that it went down racial lines really couldn't shook some of the people in the crowd. on top of that. you're talking about thousands of people showing up wanting to hear something about gun control, and that never

happened. tonight at light a fire to our movement and we will not stop. screams ringing out of the tennessee house floor after two black democrats justin pearson and justin jones, expelled from the legislature when they expelled us. it wasn't about us individually, that's right attempt to expel and silence a movement we showing up monday. due to show up monday. because schools need to be safer . third representative gloria johnson, who is white, nearly survived her expulsion vote. i think it's pretty clear i'm a six year old white woman and they are too young black men, the republican controlled tennessee state house of representatives brought motions on monday to expel the three democrat lawmakers. after they protested on the house floor against gun violence after a mass shooting at a nashville

school. the three democrats were in breach of chamber rules when they approached the podium with a bullhorn without being recognized to speak. one of the republican sponsors of the motion, representative andrew farmer pearson during the debate . you don't truly understand why you're staying there today. just because you don't get your way you can't come to the well bring your friends and throw a temper tantrum. with the adolescent bullhorn while i know i do take responsibility for coming to the well. while the speaker said out of order i also take responsibility for the people in our district and in our communities who are asking for us to do something in the 103rd general assembly, the state of tennessee. after a long, contentious debate. both pearson and jones were expelled along party lines. america should absolutely be worried. three

lawmakers appeared with protesters in the capital with their arms raised in solidarity . i'm not broken, you know, i stood firm in that well because we need to let the nation know that what's happening in tennessee is a danger to the nation. what we saw today was authoritarianism. what we saw today was the undoing of the will of my voters of my constituents. probably we talked to dozens of people who showed up here to the state capitol yesterday, and all of them were telling us they would like to see people get away from the red and blue. they wanted people to get away from these party lines and change the conversation. they hated to see that tennessee was being put in the spotlight for what we shouldn't be talking about right now. which is the politicians. you should be talking about going control and how we keep kids safe. we had one teacher who came on with the yesterday who was crying, saying he's in fear for his students. on a day to day basis. you understand the passion behind this people really? i want to see change that did not happen yesterday. and now how many people ah, in their districts,

everyone in their districts for now at least not represented right bacon. those positions brian young, thank you. yep and they've called a meeting on monday to see what the next steps here are shortly after that republican controlled tennessee house of representatives, which has a super majority voted to expel those two democrats. we spoke with our colleague jeremy faizan . he is the republican caucus chair in the state house. this is how he defended their expulsions. i understand decorum . van was just making the point there. of course, not everyone could bring a bullhorn in every time they disagreed. otherwise it would be total chaos. but why take this step? why was there no measure? you could have taken before this before expulsion. why take the most extreme step so quickly? so that's an excellent question more than just what america has seen that took place last thursday. there's a history all year long of disrupting committees and the house floor. we've called them out. the chairmen of committees,

the speaker of the house has been calling them out. tom and tom again for grabbing the mic sucking the air out of the room, making sure no other voices heard. and finally when they come and act so foolish on the house floor, this is a sacred place. it belongs to everybody and literally start looking up into the gallery with a bullhorn . getting the protesters worked up into a frenzy. that is incumbent on us to say you've gone a step too far. and i'd like to add to your they've they've not backed down from that either. i told them earlier that i feel like if they would have said, you know what? we messed up. i mean, what american what human won't bring forgiveness and redemption, but they doubled down into which so far as to staying in the world today and said i'd do it again. that was their mentality that shows me when there's a pattern of behavior like that, if you refuse to stop it yourself. then we have to step in as a group of

individuals that work with you and say you'll not do that here. they said they were passionate because of the underlying reason that i think is important here to also remind people which is because six people were killed in a shooting last week. this body spoke many times are brought our caucus together several times since last thursday to ask the body what we as a group wanted to do. the overwhelming majority. the heartbeat of this caucus says not on this house floor. not this way. so if there was an idea of sending to the ethics group, this group my caucus, which is the supermajority there, 75 of us said no, that is not. we don't want to go to the ethics throughout. we don't want them censored. we want them expelled. it's not possible for us to move forward. with the way they were behaving in committee and on the house floor. there's got to be some peace and for them the way they were behaving to disrupt every committee disrupt the house floor. they were, how can we get to the to the answers? are we going to do

about gun violence? what what are we going to do about guns in court? what are we going to do about red flag? well, the conversation can happen because they're drowning out sucking all the air out of the room. so i would just push back on you saying we can't get there. if they won't let us and thank you for letting me speak with you. god bless you, representative. you got a long drive home. one final question for you. all right, well, german faizan has left us. in the final question that i wanted to ask him was his explanation for why the two black democrats were expelled and the woman the white woman, who she acknowledged she believes race played a role in that. survived by one vote. yep it's obvious. um, look, it's they could have done a censure, right? i think the right question was why take the most drastic action afterwards? this is exactly what our country was built on on protesting. not everyone put protests are perfect. it's also unconscious bias. it's racism. it's a double

standard in our society. i obviously don't have to say i would doubt they would have done this to white members, because guess what? they didn't did it to the two black members and especially the two black men. it's like, usually especially with something like this. the way people think about black men in this society needs to really be examined, especially with protests, especially with how we express ourselves. if you look at the member there once the guy with the afro right. he's very outspoken justin pierce, right? i just i just wanted to be clear because there to justin's just wanted to be clear because he is the afro. yeah. two militant or whatever you want to call him outspoken. but that's how he that's his way of expressing himself, and it doesn't mean that he's being rude or boisterous or whatever he's expressing himself. and that's how he feels. and the other guy is a more subdued and he's going to be on the other. justin i

should say, because they're to justice. that's why i keep saying justin jones, um that's the way he expresses himself. and so i think that we really need to think about the double standard of society. you may want to call it and you know, unconscious bias. it's racism. that's exactly that's all that it is and what they were trying to do is something that was good. for the country and for tennessee and for the country and they ended up with the worst outcome. and i think the point that you can't just have someone when they disagree. take a bullhorn go into the well, you know, cause all the disruption that we saw and compared to january. 6th, by the way is the house speaker did but but the it's the way i understand that point that you know, they have to have order in the house decorum. i get that to the degree of you can have someone just taking up or whenever they disagree, but it's exactly you were saying no. why take that step? because van jones was, you know, he lived in nashville. he was talking with us yesterday. there is the health ethics committee. you can go to their all these other steps you could take before that if you really wanted to prove a point about the quorum, of course, we're

going to talk a lot more. about this later. we'll talk about what president obama said. as well in response in a little bit, but we do need to get to israel. justin jones is gonna be with us in a little bit, so we need to get to this because it's also happening right now. we'll get back to that story. we're following the escalation that's happening this conflict in the middle east this morning overnight israeli forces launching a series of air strikes on lebanon and gaza. those strikes coming after israel says a barrage of rockets were fired from the lebanon border into israel israeli territory. the tension comes after police in israel's stormed the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem earlier this week, cnn's had asked gold live near the israel lebanon border with more this is really escalating this morning. what is happening now? badass? don, you can actually see the border with lebanon just behind me along that hill and since those israeli airstrikes in southern lebanon earlier this morning, there has been a tense

quiet the israeli military saying that it was targeting specifically palestinian hamas targets in southern lebanon. there have been no reports from injuries from those airstrikes, and we have not seen any sort of rockets in response. the airspace, though here in the northern part of israel is still closed. that gives you an indication that there is still fears that something could further escalate. but we are hearing from both the israeli military and the lebanese prime minister that essentially neither side has an interest in any sort of further escalation. in fact, most of the action has actually been down south in gaza , where the israeli military's saying that it struck several hamas militant locations, including tunnels as well as weapons manufacturing sites, and the at least 44 rockets were fired from gaza into israel overnight now again, thankfully , no injuries have been reported on either side there has been damage is reported in gaza. in fact, the children's hospital in gaza has reported some damages, but again no injuries on either

side. the israelis who live near the gaza border, have also actually been instructed that they don't need to be staying near their shelters anymore. as of this morning, an indication hopefully that things are coming down at least there. things are not calming down elsewhere in the west bank, just in the last hour or so to israeli women were shot and killed. another was injured. the israeli military saying this was a palestinian attack in the occupied west bank . donna goes to show you just the multi fronts that are going on here and how the situation can very quickly go out of control. and also right now friday prayers going on at al aqsa in jerusalem. so far, they are passing peacefully in the tens of thousands of worshippers, but things here can easily cycle out of control. yeah it is a tinderbox there. thank you continue to follow that have asked gold joining us this morning. alright this story just stunning. meggie yachts. private jets exclusive resorts coming up a new report that

republican mega donor. this new report detailed lavish vacations indonesia, new zealand, some parts of the united states, all funded by the conservative businessman, harlan crow that you see here. it's a far cry from how thomas has described how he likes to spend his free time and a documentary he did in 2020 called created equal. i prefer the rv parks. i prefer the walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. there's something. normal to me about it. i've come from regular stock. and i prefer that i prefer being around that. in addition to the vacations, the new report says that thomas reportedly also used crows private jet flying to new york for the unveiling of a bronze statue of his beloved eighth grade teacher who was a nun. the justice also gifted a $19,000 bible that belonged to the abolitionist frederick douglass , which thomas did disclose. we should note harlan crow put out

this statement in response to the new report, saying justice thomas and his wife, jenny never asked for any of this hospitality. we have never asked about a pending or lower court case, and justice thomas has never discussed one. we have never sought to influence justice thomas on any legal or political issue. joining us now for her perspective on this is seen in supreme court analyst joan biskupic. whose new book that was just out nine black robes inside the supreme court's drive to the right, and its historic consequences is kind of the perfect book to set us up for this moment, and joan, you know the supreme court so well, i just wonder initially, as you read this report you learned about this. what your reaction was. were you stunned by it? i was i was, i will be very honest . i was impressed by the reporting the kinds of details they came up with. and how much they were able to ferret out because the truth is so little is disclosed by these justices. there is some ambiguity in the rules about how much they have to put on their financial

disclosure forms. they tend to put just minimal amount of information there, and recently the rules were tweaked so that this kind of travel so called personal hospitality would have to be revealed. but the bottom line also is caitlin that they have no formal code of ethics or any way that any member of the public could lodge a complaint and then see their complaint resolved. the attitude of the justices has essentially been trust us. we have you can be confident that we have no conflicts of interest here. you know, joan that that lack of a code of ethics is the first thing i thought about when i read this propublica reporting because we talked about that. right around the leak of the dobbs decision, right? like where is the code of ethics? consider and this is another place where it shows how needed that is. is there any precedent for anything like this in modern , the modern history? the court at least, you mean this kind of extensive, you know, not that we know of. and i do have to say, papi, you know, since you know

the court well, it's really hard for the public to both have a way to complain about these off bench activities and then even for members of congress to do any anything about it? the last you know there's been a lot of complaints now from senate judiciary committee chairman dick durbin about, he said. there's been a call to action and that there should be an enforceable ethics code. but remember, there is a separation of powers issue. it's hard to go after them and only once in american history has a justice actually been pressured to leave the bench. no justice has ever been impeached and convicted, but back in 1969 8 40 did leave under pressure because of some financial, uh, irregularities. but this is way this is a breaking of the norms. right jonah? you can answer both this because i want to get this in before we were not of time. but this is just this is an escalation. just a series of missteps and controversies surrounding justice clarence thomas and his wife and so on.

yeah you know, there may be plenty of other things about other justices that we don't know. and we should know, but you're exactly right. you know, i'm thinking back to the early start of this year when so much information came out about ginny thomas is activities to try to reverse the results of the 2020 election that joe biden one remember the january 6th committee, uh, received those text messages that she had written to former president donald trump's chief of staff, saying we have to, you know, imploring him to do something to reverse what she saw as such a travesty and she was so active in trying to challenge the 2020 election results and then her husband, clarence thomas, did not recuse himself from any election related cases. and maybe he had reasons for not doing that. but he never said them done. this is the whole thing is they never feel like they need to answer yesterday. just as time has said nothing and if justice john roberts said nothing with again, the message

being we have it under control here, trust us. that's that's really too bad to not hear from them, especially the chief justice. who wants this court to not be viewed as political yeah . thank you. thank you. reporter said that they didn't get a response at all. thomas either. i encourage everyone to read that that's amazing, stunning report on propublica journalism , that's for sure. all right, coming up next, the ceo of america's biggest banks says. we need to let some banks fail exclusive. sit down with jamie diamond from jpmorgan ahead, also his predictions on a potential recession. has this banking crisis even though you think it's almost over which i'm really glad to hear, though increased chances of her session here. if your business kept on employees to the pandemic, get refunds dot com can see if it may qualify for a payroll taxax refund of up to $26,00000 per employee, even if it received dpp and all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then

believe the attention to detail . they even did my laundry. i love home a blow, and i think you will to ariana vogue at the supreme court. and this is cnn. welcome back to cnn this morning . the banking crisis the u. s is experiencing right now has pushed us closer to a recession . that is the headline from jpmorgan chase ceo jamie diamond , who told us that and a lot more in his first extensive interview since the collapse of silicon valley bank and signature bank last month, we went down to atlanta to sit down with him where he was taking part in a community center

branch opening in the historic district. of summerhill. one mortgage one business one account that gets us something to savor, helps to get a job, one skills and we do a lot of work with community around community colleges and skills and affordable housing, and you can lift up society. this is, um, the community center branch here. but you have a lot of them. you open the first one in harlem in new york city in 2019 , you've got 16 cities now. atlanta why do you do this great idea someone had wasn't mine community branch was bigger. there's a community space it's built by local contractors. think of minority contractors. local food, local art the artist. you know, people put the art up when we hire locally we call community managers, branch manager traditional community manager gets to know all the local businesses not for profits , religious institutions. we

invite people in to learn about mortgages and saving money and starting a business and it's been unbelievable. i've been like 14 of the 16 or so we've both taken their community manager 120. that's worked so well. we're putting them in a lot of different communities, so it was just part of what we try to do, too. when we enter a town we have 30% of branches so in lower income neighborhoods, and we just try to lift over neighborhoods and bringing all the things that jpmorgan chase can do to help one of the things you say that because this is part of the $30 billion commitment to black and brown communities across country, but you you're you explicitly say this isn't charity. yeah there's a strong business case. yeah, that's totally true. and there's two things so those are huge numbers that we say 12 billion of affordable housing and mortgages at the end of the day, it takes place at a local local place, the mortgage loan officer reaching out to people helping them through the prior is getting them home workers. granted they need something like that. so that's how it takes place. but when you do it you know, we're right across from georgia state university, their businesses opening up around

here partially because you have a branch in here and a list of the community, but it's also good business. and you want good business as these businesses come here. they are. they're hiring locally, their paychecks in the neighborhood and a list of everybody. that's part of the job of a bank. interesting though, about this time. exactly this moment that we're sitting down is we're in a rising interest rate environment, and this is harder for folks to get mortgages. you've lamented that reality, especially for low lower income individuals, especially for lower income individuals in this country right now. do you think, given the high prices of homes now the rising interest rate environment ? this american dream of owning a home is really no longer for a lot of folks. i think we have to bring it back. if you look at homes there for most people, the way they start building family net worth and family wealth, and there are a lot of things to do is show you already see home prices down in some places. builders are already making concessions. we do a lot of special things special purpose credit for sometimes in low income neighborhoods. i think

the government can do a lot of things. i've you know, we talk about these things here, but the government can do a lot of things that reduce the cost. mortgage absolutely reducing production costs, servicing costs, origination costs securitization costs, which would make the cost of a small mortgage. but probably 50 to 75 basis points cheaper that alone money a month. that's a lot of money a month and to make available more people, so we try to take policies things we do here but also worry about what washington do to make it easier. accomplishments goals. i've been begging in this one for a long time. i'm praying i'm begging. i hope they'll listen to this. it's so important and it's the other important thing is, we're not doing it for jpmorgan. it won't affect the future jpmorgan if we make mortgages more available to lower income folks around america, it's so important for lower income america and so you know, we won't start pushing this one until we get it done. i think we should double the earnings tax credit. and then there is a buffet has been saying that for years the american public if you if someone if a single parent is

with two kids is making $14,000 a year. the government gives you six roughly if you don't have children about $600. my view is we need to get more income into neighborhood. so if you if you kind of add to that earn income tax credit, i would get rid of the child requirement requirement or you get more money into the neighborhoods and that money will be well spent. it will lift up those communities will be nothing like that. and the other thing i remember is java's bring dignity. jobs bring better social outcomes jobs that first job because sometimes people make fun of the burger flipper job very well from that burger flipper own ends up owning the restaurant. exactly we've all done it and that first job that first one in the ladder? no but i served in a restaurant waitress. just getting people to open an account. we've got cancer. you can open here. start saving money thinking about it. a lot of us had the benefit their mom or dad took us. to a branch and we saw the first pass book and then you see your money go from $84.75 to $85.17. it's

like there was magic. there's a god you know, like interest, and so people learn and we wanted to take place here. we don't want people to be afraid to walk into a branch here. come as you are. bring your kids, you know, learn what you're doing. that's why the community managers so important because a lot of people look at a bank and they're gonna walk by there. there's not what they're comfortable with. and we want this community very comfortable walking in here. i just read your annual letter that just came out this week and let's dive into the banking crisis because you write a lot about it is the current banking crisis over. this is not 2008. okay this is much more limited there only a handful of banks that had this particular problem they'll eventually be resolved one way or another, and i think then people should take a deep breath in a week or two. a lot of these banks can be reported earnings. i think they're probably pretty good. the federal reserve made some bald dramatic moves to help it easier for some of the issues they had. and i'm hoping it will resolve rather shortly, hoping

hoping the crisis over you wrote in your letter. there will be repercussions for years to come different. i mean, those repercussions are regulatory like thing and, you know, acknowledged, think, obviously we have a problem. things need to change. but, you know, begging the regulars. just take a deep breath. there are hundreds of rules. you know, you have to be very careful. what do you want in the banking system? what do you want out? how do you make it easier for community banks and regional banks? how do you reduce their costs and increase their cost on the but also make it safe? do you expect more? banks to fail this year. i don't know, but if there are i don't honestly they will be resolved in a private left of them. i think i think we're getting near the end of this particular crisis and fewer financial institutions, remember? oh, a. it was hundreds of institutions around the world. far too much leverage. we don't have that huge problems and mortgage mortgage. we don't have that this is nothing like that the american public shouldn't think that this will resolve and then we should go. look at you know what went wrong and fix it in the clean in the

light of day. then what was it if this is coming to an end? is this a situation like you know, warren buffett famously said only when the tie goes out to you learn who's been swimming naked. were these banks swimming naked? hide in plain sight. everyone knew about uninsured deposits. everyone knew about straight exposure. everyone knew about health maturity portfolios . the only difference the only real difference was we called concentrated clients, so silicon valley bank head a handful of people controlled 35,000 corporate accounts. and they just left $140 billion or something. of course, of course of two days that's not happening on the regional banks don't have that issue, nor do they have all these issues, so it's only a handful that the much offsides but then what's going on with first republic? i mean, you led the effort to swoop in $30 billion from you and your fellow banks to try to study first republic acknowledged. we don't even know yet if that worked. that was an attempt to try to resolve help. give them time to resolve the situation. we

represent them, so i really can't talk about any more than that. and we hope it resolves one way another. so, uh, that will come in the future, but i don't. i don't think this is that kind of crisis that you're going to have it ongoing forever. it will be now, warren buffett said. when the tide goes out, you mentioned something else. rising rates. is that todd going out? and if that tide goes out a lot, so i would help you'll be prepared for higher rates. i don't know that's going to happen, but be prepared. you're not in that tide. you think the fed raises again in may two rates one of the short rate, i do not know what they're going to do, and obviously they may not because financial conditions, but they're also longer rates and that has a different effect and that the fed does not control directly that's controlled by global investors, sentiment, supply and demand and that's gotten bad for sovereign debt. okay so you know to me? yes you have a chance at long rates will be going up and people might get used to hire for longer higher for longer. get ready for that. i believe that is a i think it has a

higher outcome of other people. i'm not predicting it right? is the american banking system truly safe and secure? yes. i mean, the banks have extraordinary liquidity extraordinary capital when they reported earnings next quarter, the urges can be quite good. in my opinion they can handle not just one stress test, but multiple ways of being stressed the big guys who have to abide by all those requirements. i'm talking about the midsize and little guys that don't anymore. they have formal requirements. you think so? i don't think it was the requirement. some people think that they were that rollback literally had nothing to do with it, you know, because they had the same internal liquidity requirements. stress requirements, reporting requirements supervisory requirements. they made mistakes . it was different if they were under $250 billion in assets as much as you think so all those senators that are saying it was wrong to roll them back. democrats rolled it back to some of them. those senators are wrong. yeah. you know, look,

it's not again when you talk about regulations that they're looking at one thing. i'm looking at multiple others. so they had high liquidity requirements high capital requirements, they met the requirements. they had too much instrument exposure, and things should change, but they were not out of line with super with regulations, and it wasn't the regulatory change. it was other things and by in life that's going to happen this notion that somehow you can make everything perfect is wrong. i know. but you know one big, well known banks to claps. no, you don't. but you also really want is that every now and then something will happen and the system can handle it and due course that's what the yes, failure is okay. you just don't want this domino effect. and so when you have a bank run, you end up with some kind of domino effect. so i guess my point is, we should we are close to it. get to the point where bank and fail and it doesn't have this kind of effect. okay monitoring. changing a few things can get much, much closer to that. is the american banking system safe ? yes like no hesitation.

nothing just emphatic, really important to hear from him guarantee you every lawmaker on capitol hill's watching that and for him to say failure is okay and some banks should be allowed to fail and that he says the rollbacks and the regulations, which has been the center of all of this, that that did not contribute to. this is fascinating. yeah, well, look, there's a question of what the bank a banker view is and what a lawmakers voted on. it voted on it, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. but people have different perspectives. and when jamie diamond talks about this stuff, yeah. markets listen in washington. listen not many. so we were talking. does jamie diamond? he doesn't do a lot of interviews, but he does. he sits down and talks because this matters a lot. he you know, saw this. almost collapse. remember right acquired bear stearns and washington mutual. you know, on that crazy weekend, and now he cares a lot about as do the lawmakers in washington. what happens to our financial system

? we all have a stake in it and whether you agree or disagree with what he says amazing that he actually answers the question . why, like makers to ceos that's so rare but not give you know, talking points just, um we asked him some questions. you'll see later that he didn't want to answer. but jamie diamond has a stark warning about the debt ceiling and the risk of even coming close to the brink. that's ahead this morning by the administration is proposing world changes for transgender student athletes why some schools could still be able to limit those students participation. tax blood. whwhen you brush could lead toto worse over time helps stop the clock on gum disease. now toothpaste is three times more effectivivet removing plaque bacteria, one of the main causes of bleeding gums , caradon tax experts last year i got stuck paying fory ex's internet for months before i finally cght it. that won't happen this year. thankso rocket money. rocket money finds hidden sscriptions and you can

most part, kids who are in elementary, transgender kids in elementary school would generally still be able to participate in sports that align with their gender identity, but it is when the these kids get into more competitive. levels like high school and college, where there could be some restrictions. the rule would provide schools with flexibility to quote identify their own educational objectives, they say that could include ensuring fairness or trying to prevent a sports related injuries. it would also require schools to take into consideration the nature of the sports when they're enacting any types of restrictions. now, this is a hot button issue with many republican led states across the country implementing outright bans on transgender students in sports. lighthouse has said that that amounts to legislative bullying and that they stand with transgender kids. now there has been that mixed reaction. lgbtq advocacy groups are concerned that this could pave the way for more discrimination , while republicans don't want the federal government to get involved on this matter. all right, and we'll follow signs from the white house this

end that war, it is also undeniable that decisions made and the lack of planning done by the previous administration significantly limited options available to him. cnn's natasha bertrand is live at the pentagon this morning. natasha this document is really fascinating because we are hearing from officials who say yeah, this could have happened sooner. this could have been better, but they're not really acknowledging a lot of the mistakes that were made during that. caitlyn this document that the national security council released yesterday was really a full throated defense of how they handled the withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021. they said that they were severely limited by the decisions that the trump administration made, namely that agreement between the former former president trump and the taliban whereby u. s troops would be forced to withdraw by may 2021 so the biden administration says they were really left with very limited options here for how to handle this withdrawal that being said they did acknowledge the there are certain things that moving

forward they have learned from that episode, namely, they're going to prioritize earlier evacuations. that was the one big thing that they have gotten criticized arguably the most about which is that they did not begin those evacuations of american personnel, us citizens in afghanistan and, of course, afghans who had helped the military over 20 years much sooner now, their argument for not doing so is that they did not want to erode confidence in the afghan government at the time, but they now say they're going to air on the side of earlier evacuations, warning americans sooner to get out of these securities environments where the security situation is rapidly deteriorating. katelyn polantz in congress are also looking into this. they're not too pleased with this document. natasha bertrand, thank you for those main takeaways. we have been closely following the case of richard glossip. he has spent a quarter of a century on death row for the death of his boss. why now the oklahoma attorney general is requesting his conviction vacated. life doesn't stop for

people have since come forward. claiming the person who actually carried out the murder set up glossip lavandera joins us live in dallas with more red. i know we've been following this case for a really long time. this is something that has garnered bipartisan support a number of republicans who are pro death penalty in the state have said to prosecutors. you've got this wrong with glossip. and now the a g is speaking. and just to highlight how intense this has been. richard glossip has had its execution date scheduled nine times three times he's been served his last meal, only to get a last minute reprieve. so imagine all of that. the oklahoma court of criminal appeals has denied hearing new evidence multiple times. but this time, richard glossip now has the support of the state's attorney general, who says that he can no longer stand behind this murder conviction, and the attorney general of oklahoma goes on to say that this is not to say that i believe glossip is innocent. however it is critical that oklahomans have absolute faith that the death penalty is

administered fairly and with certainty, considering everything i know about this case. i do not believe that justice is served by executing a man based on the testimony of a compromised witness, and what the attorney general is referring to there is that another man convicted in this case, justin sneed, who was the man who confessed to actually murdering their boss, where the two men worked at the time. and he had snead has since, uh, kind of started to recant his confession and pinpointing, um richard glossip as the man who hired him to carry out this murder that has come out in new investigation. so all of this information now going to the oklahoma court of criminal appeals, and obviously glossip side is hoping that this saves his life. equal justice under law is what everyone deserves. and thanks to 3000 hours of pro bono work by by lawyers were at this point, so we'll follow it and thank you. cnn this morning continues now.
