7:00 am
played a role is what i'm trying to say. i'm not equating the two don't misunderstand. i'm just framing the issue. i'm not equating the two, but i am acknowledging that everybody played a role here. i mean, representative richie said he voted to oust representative jones. he said this in his interview with jake tapper because representative jones wanted to be thrown out. recognizing the value politically speaking that would come from being expelled so each was serving their respective constituency. one more real quick. here it comes. this is such a lawless such a lawlessness in this country when our elected representatives think they can take over any proceeding just by being the loudest because they should be chastised and removed. okay, we're all hide. my god, you're part of the 9% there, there's someone speaking for those who wanted ouster. keep voting. subscribe to the newsletter. when you're there, i'll see you next week. happy easter. good
7:01 am
morning, everyone it is saturday . april 8th. i'm amro walker. i'm victor blackwell. you are in the cnn newsroom and we begin with the abortion debate across the country. this time, it's over access to medication. abortion after federal courts issued conflicting rulings began after a federal judge in texas ruled to suspend the fda s two decade old approval. of method. pistone then washington state judge ruled the fda must keep the pill on the shelves and 17 democratic states and the district of columbia. cnn's senior medical correspondent, elizabeth cohen joins us now. so explain what medford press stone is and what happens next. so victor medford. redstone is one of two drugs that are used in medicated abortions. in other words, abortions that are used by pill rather than by a surgical procedure. as you said they've been used safely from more than 20 years. they have an
7:02 am
excellent safety profile, and actually, they are now quite common. let's take a look at what's happened with medication abortion over the years. so in 2000, it was, you know all surgical abortions, and then that went up and up and up. so now millions of women have had medication abortion. it accounts for more than 53% of all abortions. and let's take a look at the safety profile when we look at deadly side effects when you look at a million women who are using medford priced stone, five of them will die when you look at penicillin. 20 of them die when you look at viagra, 49 of them die some effort. kristen actually has a better safety profile than many of the drugs that are currently on the market . victor amra and just curious. you know, when you have a judge, you can step in. not a medic. medical professional, you know, saying, look, you know this fda approval was improper. how might this affect the development? of new drugs. right. it could have
7:03 am
a real detrimental effect emirate, so drug companies they invest lots of money and lots of time in developing new drugs. they know that a team of professionals, not a judge, a team of medical professionals, experts within the fda and outside the fda are going to be reviewing that application. and then it will go on the market. if they're sitting down today, they say, wait a minute. you mean a single judge someone who knows nothing about medicine and science. he can just take a medicine off the market. is it really worth it for us to be investing millions of dollars into drugs and we could see really a decline in life saving drugs coming on the market, so all of this could affect all of us. aymara victor elizabeth cohen. thanks so much the department of justice manufacturer of the drug and the fda have now all already filed appeals against that texas ruling. that halted the fda approval of that drug. cnn's jasmine, right, joining us now from the white house, jasmine. we know the president is vowing to fight this ruling. what is he saying about that? just rip off that. yeah well, look, the white house had been bracing for this
7:04 am
moment and frankly worried, given the background and past rulings from this trump appointed federal judge that this could be the outcome. and so now we are here. the president last night, he issued a statement slamming the decision. i want to read you a part of it victor number because it is incredibly forceful, he said. the court in this case has substituted its judgment for fda, the expert agency that approves drugs. if this ruling were to stand, and then there will be virtually no prescription. approved by the fda that would be safe from these kinds of political ideological attacks. this does not just affect women in texas. if it stands, it would prevent women in every state from accessing the medication, regardless of whether abortion is legal in the state. it is the next big step toward the national ban on abortion that republican elected officials have vowed to make law in america now. we also heard from vice president kamala harris on this issue. of course, she has been deeply engaged in the effort of safeguarding access. is to abortion. we know that she's held dozens upon dozens of roundtables with advocates since
7:05 am
that leaked decision came out last year. here's what she had to say well on the tarmac in tennessee on friday. there is no question that the president and i are going to stand with the women of america and do everything we can to ensure that women have the ability to make decisions about their health care, their reproductive health care in the in the manner that is what they need, and they decide that not their government . it is contrary to what makes for good public health policy to allow courts and politicians to tell the fda what it should do helping us. so it's clear from the vice president's statement and president biden's statement that two things are on the white house is mine here. first of all, they don't believe that the judge has a purview really, to declare that the fda inappropriately approved any drug now on the market, and then second of all, they're thinking about the massive impact in their own words that it would have on women and doctors who have relied on this medication for 22 years. so now that the
7:06 am
appeal is underway. that process . of course, all lives will be on the white house to further lay out exactly what they will do to try to safeguard access to abortion and this really unprecedented time camera legal battles playing out now, jasmine , right? thank you. so this case almost guaranteed to go to the u. s supreme court. joining us now is cnn's senior supreme court analyst and the author of the new book, nine black robes. joan biskupic. joan thank you so much for joining us. so how quickly could we expect this to get to this supreme court? well, good morning. things are going to happen fast because the judge said that the federal government had only seven days to act and try to get a longer suspension and enforcement of his ruling. so we're already seeing, you know, papers going to the lower courts headed up toward the supreme court. so i think that depending on what the regional fifth circuit does, which is
7:07 am
generally going to be the first step for an appeal from judge kashmir ix, um, ruling last night, we'll see what happens next. but i think right now the odds you know, you look at what the supreme court has made up of , you know, 66 conservative justices, five of them who took the very long step of saying that abortion rights nationwide are going to be rolled back, reversing near really a half century of precedent in roe v. wade you know, the government faces a very tough court. but what i want to stress here is that this is such a different question than what the justices ruled on last june last june, it was a straight constitutional question over a woman's right to end a pregnancy. um um in in the early stages of their pregnancy . this time around, though, it really does go to the authority of government regulators. the authority of the food and drug administration to actually use its expertise not just for
7:08 am
medication, abortion drugs, but for all drugs, so that's that's a significant question. and then there's other also a threshold question. the groups that sued down in texas specifically looking for this judge and looking for a sympathetic ruling from this judge, those groups you know, could arguably not have legal standing to bring their case that was a very real question. the lower court judge did say that these physicians and medical groups that were claiming an injury to themselves from the use of these of the medication abortion pill had been injured and judge his merrick sided with them, but i think the federal government could make a good case against it immoral more about this judge u. s district judge matthew cares america trump appointee. yeah victor, you know he is he should be in the spotlight actually, because, as i said the challengers went specifically to his district down in amarillo,
7:09 am
texas, and wanted wanted him here. he they wanted him in this. he was a 2019 appointee of donald trump. he in his earlier life, had been a very strong advocate against abortion rights working for christian religious liberty group. so you know his his record was out. there and there was a certain expectation of what he might do. but you know again, you know, all these judicial candidates say they're going to set aside their their personal beliefs and rule on the law and i am sure that judge katz merrick believes he ruled on the law, but but he was he was chosen for this lawsuit, and in the end he delivered for those challengers who chose him . so i think that we're going to see a whole different make up as we go up in the federal courts with other judges, frankly, alright, john biskupic. thank you. well, the white house is standing by the two black democratic representatives in
7:10 am
tennessee, who were expelled by their republican colleagues for an anti gun protest on the house floor. that protest was in the wake of the deadly nashville school shooting that killed six people. president kamala harris met with now former representatives justin jones and justin pearson. the bank's president also spoke with the representative gloria johnson, the white democrat who participated in the protest, but was not expelled. cnn's gary tuchman reports on the fallout. new energy at the tennessee state capitol after a day of protests, debate and consequential votes. thank you, mr speaker of the house standard recess until five pm on monday, april 10th 2023 democratic legislators had just been expelled from the tennessee house of representatives by republican supermajority in the hallways of the state capital in nashville. demonstrators yelling and crying, with some staging a dying in protest. as legislators
7:11 am
filed out of the house chambers, a chaotic scene tennessee state troopers standing between them and demonstrators, yelling was loud but allstate peaceful. and then came the representatives who had been the subject of the expulsion discussions. justin pearson on the left gloria johnson in the middle. justin jones on the right. the two men expelled the woman surviving by one vote. they were punished by republicans for their demonstration on the house floor last week, calling for gun reform, walking up to the well of the chamber and protesting following the horrific school shooting in nashville last month. republicans saying their behavior was disorderly and as a result, they made the decision to kick the two men out of the legislature. so what does the woman who survived have to say about that? i think it's pretty clear. i'm a six year old white woman and they are too young black man. the chairman of the tennessee black caucus is sam mckenzie. the world saw the
7:12 am
options. i don't have to say a word about the fact that our two young african american brothers were unfairly prosecuted. information evidence introduced inappropriately. but they handled themselves like true champions. republicans deny a racism allegations, some saying that gloria johnson was not leading the protest effort. last week republican leader told us further investigation taking into the ethics committee, a lesser punishment was not something as party wanted to do 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. but one of those expelled representatives stands by what he and his two democratic colleagues did, saying they were are not being allowed to talk about what they feel needed to be talked about gun reform. we have been expelled for standing with our constituents, but i have no regrets will continue to speak up for district 52 for tennesseans who are demanding change, notably both expelled legislators could be back in
7:13 am
office and soon their county commissions will appoint temporary representatives prior to the next election, and they are permitted to select the two men who were expelled victor and amra when the tennessee state house of representatives reconvenes in the state capital behind me on monday. it's expected there will be protesters out here showing their support for the two legislators who were expelled and the one who was almost expelled. and those three justin jones, justin pearson and gloria johnson. it's anticipated they will be here with the protesters. back to you. gary tuchman for us there, nashville . thank you. joining me now is the chairman of the tennessee democratic party. hendro remus. good to have you, sir. let's start with this meeting with the vice president. um, you were there. what did she say? what would it take aways. good morning. thank you all for having me. um, i think the president the vice president's message in that meeting was echoed in the chapel at fisk university that we have a responsibility all of us as
7:14 am
tennessee and especially legislators to protect our democracy to be the keepers of our democracy and to make sure that people understand what we're fighting for. and right now, that's that's those young people who are fighting for their futures, who want to live a long life free of god. violent. so gary mentioned it in his report that there will be interim or temporary representatives appointed justin jones, justin pearson. they could both be appointed to go back next week. um what do you know about the numbers out of nashville city council? shelby county commission. do you think they have the votes to return? i. both of those bodies are overwhelmingly democratic. i think democrats across the state understand. of the people and i do wholeheartedly believe that they will be returned to their rightful places in the state house of representatives. are you aware of any potential
7:15 am
retaliation? if from the republicans there if they are returned. well, that has become that has become the norm in this state political retribution from this republican supermajority is something that we're worried about every single day. i'm concerned, especially with accounts coming out of memphis that there are threats by this supermajority to withhold funding for projects that they have in the works for city and county government. uh we've seen this republican supermajority attack both memphis and shelby county for standing up against them, but more so i'm concerned about retaliatory measures that they may take to try not to seat to see these individuals are representatives belong in the state house of representatives. they were duly elected to be there on monday after representative jones is appointed by the metro council will get a chance to see what's next in this fight with the
7:16 am
statehouse reference. in this so you've heard of threats that they would withhold money if justin jones and justin pearson are returned? tell me more. what particularly particularly justin pearson. memphis is in the mix of negotiating a number of budget items with the state and , uh and there are threats of that has been mentioned or talked that has happened and occurred with those county commissioners who will real point justin pearson that that the state might preemptively decided not to fund those projects in memphis and shelby county, but this wouldn't be the first time that this has happened right now, mitch. troll nashville is fighting the state after the state decided not to her and the republican national convention. there they reduce the size of the metro council. they're trying to seize control of the sports authority. they're trying to seize control of the airport. this republican supermajority is government overreach at its all time high.
7:17 am
so let me ask you about what we heard from representative gloria johnson. she says that the reason that she was spared and that jones and pearson we're not is because she is a 60 year old white woman and their young black men. let's look at the breakdown of votes 66 with the threshold to expel justin jones got 72 votes. justin pearson 69 gloria johnson 65 votes. you agree with that, that this the reason that she was spared and they were not is because they are black. well look. gloria johnson is very outspoken and she's been in the state legislature and around a lot of these legislators long enough to know their character traits. but if you just look at the issues that have transpired doing this , this 113 general assembly on during black history month, the same house of representatives sought to change the name of the street bearing john lewis's name to donald trump boulevard. the
7:18 am
same representatives wanted to add lynching hanging by tree. as a means for execution in the state. this this body has continuously shown that it will attack african americans and african american issues. the speaker of the house had a very public dispute with the former caucus chair about whether or not he was racist or not. so i think the general public can look at all of those things and come to their own conclusion about whether or not this the supermajority has has overtones of racism. i'm asking your conclusion, though. do you believe that these two democrats were expelled because they're black? i do believe that that may have played some role in it. yes, i do know remus, chair of the tennessee democratic party. thank you so much for being with me. supreme court justice clarence thomas is responding to a report that he accepted luxury trips from a republican donor. why he says he didn't need to

7:24 am
thought he didn't have to. under the current ethics rules. he said that he and his wife, ginny , thomas, had been longtime friends with harlan crow the men who paid for the trip and that he didn't think that this fell under the disclosure rule. here is his statement, he said. early in my tenure at the court. i sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends who do not have business before the court was not reportable. of course, this has caused a firestorm. he said that now that the rules have changed , which they have, he's going to comply going forward. but it comes as democrats on the hill are already saying that they want an investigation, and the supreme court itself finds itself once again under the hot political spotlight, a place that doesn't like to be arianna vogue, cnn washington. joining me now is gabe roth, executive director of fixed the courts. good morning to you, gabe so
7:25 am
that that statement from justice thomas that are in devo. just read that he said that you know, he was advised that the sort of personal hospitality from close friends was not reportable. um was there room for confusion here because when it comes to hospitality from friends, there is an exemption right when it comes to disclosing this on the financial disclosure jher forms. yes that that's exactly right. and thanks. thanks for having me there is an exemption for personal hospitality for food, lodging or entertainment that takes place on the properties or facilities of a close friend or family member. and i think that that reading of property or facilities and thomas's mind includes private planes and we know justices in the past have used that exemption. justice scalia for one, has used it many times to go on hunting trips during his, uh, nearly 30 year tenure on the court. um so it's good that the judicial
7:26 am
conference the policy making body, the judiciary has clarified thatres of transparency, there's nothing stopping clarence thomas from going back and amending his financial disclosures to give the public a better sense of the types of gifts he's been receiving from people who have a clear view on where the court should be heading. you would think if a justice you know the highest level of the courts, right serves a lifetime appointment. they're not held accountable because they're not elected by the people. they're not held accountable by the people that there would be some kind of binding code of conduct that they're required to abide by. but there is no such thing is that correct? yeah that's right. there's a code of conduct for us judges, the lower court judges, uh, that's been around in one way or another for the past 100 years and was more formalized about 50 years ago, but the justices have rejected adopt, writing and adopting a code of conduct of their own, and the code of conduct is not is not a panacea. there should
7:27 am
be some enforcement mechanisms. and some investigatory possibilities under such code, but i think it's just the larger idea. look going back to thomas statement as he said he spoke to some colleagues and others in the judiciary. well, who are these people? if you asked right now, the nine justices what their ethical responsibilities are you come up with nine different answers, and that's because the ethics laws that are on the books are vague and because there is no single ethics code, and there's not even an ethics office at the supreme court, the house and the senate and the house and the senate. both have these ethics offices. the executive branch has the office of government ethics, so that doesn't even exist at the court to have a single everyone's singing from the same ethics songbook. uh both individual person in that office and code that they explicate that just doesn't exist, and so we need several different things to happen to bring the justices kicking and screaming into the 21st century of best practices in ethical behavior. but what? okay let's talk about what needs to happen then and first off, you know, you heard about democrats calling for chief justice john roberts. to investigate
7:28 am
internally. do you think that will happen? no i mean, i hope it. i hope it does. um you know, the supreme court ethics act a bill that republicans and democrats over the years have supported currently. it's only um, a version of it that was introduced a few months ago is only democrats, but it would create and ethics office that would investigate that how to have the ability to investigate justices ethical lapses and you know that body wouldn't have the ability to impeach a justice or remove a justice, but it would have the ability to report annually. any sort of ethical issues that arose and you know, the public could then decide what they want to do with those issues like that's not even being. you know that that's a bill that hasn't even had a mark up for a vote in the house or the senate. yet i think that you know the larger issue is that chief justice roberts wants to try to make the court look as great as great as it can be. as as neutral arbiter of the law and the constitution. but clearly, that's not the case
7:29 am
with all these piling on ethics issues, and you know what? the fact that it the fact that his predecessors when they were ethics issues that the court took positive steps to change things when there was an ethics issue about receiving outside income in the late sixties. chief justice warren burger required the justices to list their outside income. similarly in the nineties, chief justice rehnquist wrote that the justices would be following the gift rules that members of congress would follow. clearly they're not really following them to the letter of the law, but at least there was the attempted to say that they were going to be a part of it. chief justice roberts hasn't really done any of that is tenure and i think we've sort of reached a fever pitch where things need to change and change fast, and it really is eyebrow raising right and we didn't even go through the details of this propublica report, right? i mean, we're talking about, you know, decades long friendship of a billionaire mega republican donor known republican donor harlan crow rides on super yachts and private jets. i mean, it makes you wonder like you said, who these people are his colleagues that he mentioned justice thomas
7:30 am
and others in the judiciary that he said he consulted with, but in terms of context here, i mean, does that sound just out of the norms to you for a supreme court justice to have this kind of close connection to a donor? it's not super out of the norm. there's you know david rubenstein, who's a big financier, has a program on bloomberg tv, where he interviews the justices and his flown justice bryer to nantucket on his private plane. there's a communications magnate that's given that gave justice ginsburg a free trip to petra jordan's a few years back. justice scalia famously went hunting with a lot of very wealthy individuals, including an individual, john poindexter, on whose ranch he died. so there are definitely these, uh engagements and entanglements and whether or not the justices knew them before they became justices or after the justices. i think that's
7:31 am
also interesting, given that thomas has been on the court for 32 years, but he's only known crow for 25. so that sort of raises questions as well. but i think just sort of the quantity of the trips the price tag of the trips that is unique. you know, in this day and age, it would be nice if there was a justice dough on the left that had a similar set of circumstances so we could do some moral equivalency here and have some, you know it's so that both sides are doing it. so let's pass a law that's sort of what makes the next steps hard is because people are going to want to retreat into their ideological corners when talking about a single justice, but at the same time congress does have the power to rewrite the disclosure rules. they've done it in the past as recently as last year. um requiring the justices to post their disclosures online. they used to use to have to get them via thumb drive, and before that, be a paper, so you know there is there has been bipartisan action in the past on this, and i think what the headline here is for that would be the justices should follow the same travel disclosure and gift rules as members of congress, which are far more strict than what
7:32 am
they're currently follow, and would bring some of these thomas trips to light more more readily more easily. yeah that seems like a fair proposition, but obviously not an easy road to get there. gabe roth. appreciate it. thank you very much. coming up. investigators in san francisco hope new images will lead them to answers about the stabbing death of the founder of cash, app. more on that ahead. fire it up, rarandy. that's how you make like it never even happened. pro see you tomorrow. ok, everyone. our mission is complete, balanced nutrition together, we provide nutrients support immune, mule bone and heart health25 vitamins and minerals and ensure complete with 30 g of protein. it's just a number and mine's unlisted boost high protein 20 g of

san francisco is horrific. san francisco has long dealt with homelessness and a rise in asian hate crimes. but police data show it's murder rate is far lower than comparable cities like indianapolis and jacksonville over violent crime in san francisco has fallen from a high in 2013, but it's rising again up 7% last year in another 6% so far this year, property crime in san francisco is sky high. 2020 fbi data reports more than 4000 cases per 100,000 residents nearly three times higher than new york city. safety fears have in part led to recalls of the former district attorney and political change at san francisco city hall. residents are feeling like the city is not working for them, and they just want clean streets , safe streets and good schools . i west. my best friend just dialed in for friends of bobbly. it's not politics, but lee's personality and legacy weighing

7:44 am
easy. i know. what i think you're gonna do great dad. kia movement that inspires. house republicans are ramping up their investigation into the manhattan district attorney's prosecution of donald trump. house judiciary committee chairman jim jordans asking the d a s office, their senior counsel, matthew colangelo, voluntarily they want him to answer questions to cooperate with the investigation , citing colangelo's history of working with law enforcement entities pursuing the former president. cnn's elena train is working this story for us. what more do you know? well victor tamara, we saw this week just days after donald trump was arraigned in court on tuesday. house judiciary chairman jim
7:45 am
jordans is escalating this investigation into that office. jim jordans so far has been unsuccessful at getting alvin bragg, the district attorney, to come in and speak with his committee. so while he's weighing a subpoena for alvin bragg has begun targeting other officials in his office. one of them is that brag senior counsel matthew colangelo colangelo used to serve on the new york attorney general's investigate. asian into the trumpet foundation. and that's something that i know that through my conversations with republicans on the committee, jim jordan plans to use that to show that the prosecutors on this case are politically motivated and interested in going after donald trump. jordan also issued his first subpoena as part of this investigation this week for matthew palmer. and so pomerantz is a lawyer who resigned from the d a s office in 2022 has since wrote a book explaining some of the investigations that he worked on relating to new york and looking into donald trump's businesses. here's what jordan had to say. the other angle that i think is really important is mr pomerantz
7:46 am
because mr pomerantz is the guy who wrote the book. he's the da who was out to get president trump. he has left the d. he's no longer employed there. he's written a book. he's election on this. he's talked on this. he's one on tv and talked about it. we think we'd like to talk to him and start to get some answers that maybe an easier route to pursue initially that mr bragg, but everything is on the table. so all of these investigations in these outreach is really to try and paint the new york attorney general's office or the manhattan attorney district attorney's office. excuse me as politically motivated, and that's something that republicans have long already argued even before trump was arraigned in court on tuesday, and the indictment was unsealed. alvin bragg for the matter, though, says that he thinks that this is them trying to meddle in their investigations and does not want to participate in what the committees are doing. elena train with details, force. thank you so much. ahead. play is back underway at the masters after heavy rain and strong winds knocked down trees yesterday with spectators just feet away.

yeah it's brutal, amra. i mean, we have chapters in the forties and fifties. then we factor in that northeast wind at 10 to 15 mph. i saw guts reaching up nearly 20 mph, so it makes it feel much colder. and then you add in the rain, and here it is against getting wet. it's pretty light rain at the moment, and it's starting to taper back. widen things out. show you the break that's coming. this is big, because as we start round three it gives them a break to be able to get some stuff done and hopefully finish on time, so we don't have to add an extra day. the upcoming hours rain chances do taper back around 12 o'clock in the afternoon, but then start to pick back up late afternoon and into the evening hours. but there's that wind and the northeast at 10 to 15 part of the reason why it's raining sunday and monday. we do clear out the skies a bit, maybe even see some sunshine and slowly start to warm it back up. preachers are expected to climb back up into the sixties, so it
