4:02 am
not to go to the supreme court. we're learning new details about who might be behind the leak of highly classified documents from the pentagon, charismatic man who loved nature, washington post reports posted in a chat room by someone who worked at an unidentified military base didn't realize sheer just immense nature of these leaks. once and a half century history . weather event happening right now. the city of fort lauderdale plans to issue a local state of emergency tail pushing over 12 inches. there's still room for more to come. never seen rain like this setbacks for fox news defamation case by dominion voting systems accusing foxes legal team making misrepresentations, things likely to appoint a special master to investigate one wants to head into a trial, particularly a try. while where $1.6 billion is on the line with
4:03 am
the judges said that even calling for a red flag wall. you think one can get passed here? we know somebody is right on that brink of going out and committing a horrendous action. don't you think we should be able to take action? i don't i don't even think that's. good morning, everyone. katelyn polantz these saw her doing the interview with the governor there, bashir, but this is the big story this morning. this is the big story this morning. as we look at this, i'll put it over here. the washington post reporting remarkable about this leaker. that's what it is. it's remarkable. we're getting as much information as possible and we got some great guests on it. so that's where we're going to start all these details about the leaker. posted hundreds of classified pentagon documents online of the post reports that he shared photos of top secret us intelligence in a private group on discord. it is a platform that is popular with video gamers. one of his online
4:04 am
friends says that the alleged leaker indicated that he brought the documents home from his job on a military base user claimed that he worked inside a secure facility that prohibited cell phones and other electronic devices that could be used to steal the secret information. his friend says that the leaks started months ago. i was first made aware of these documents. i want to say about 6 to 8. months ago, i was in a discord server by the name of doug sticker central channel. there was classified documents being posted by a user who i refer to as o g. from this point. the documents were often listed as ukraine versus russia. first however, it's slowly spiraled into just intelligence about everything. and some of the members of this online group are apparently from russia. the post reports that the photos included highly classified satellite images and detailed charts of battlefield of the battlefield in ukraine. we're going to begin our coverage this hour with cyber security reporter sean lingus, sean. good morning to
4:05 am
you. these classified documents spread like wildfire across social media. what is the latest i don, i mean last night, we saw the washington post break the story on the origins of the leak and going into some of these chat rooms where the alleged leaker was talking with his acquaintances. you could say, and according to the reporting, you know they bonded over video games. guns god military gear during the pandemic, and during the pandemic is when the social media platform discord. got a lot more popular, and so the post was able to trace where these conversations started. and when this person who went by the online handle ogi started, you know, first transcribing, apparently some of the documents but then just all and out, posting it. posting these documents, and it's only in the last week. as you know, don at this story sort of broke onto the national scene because we had these photos of these documents that cnn has also reviewed, so it really speaks to
4:06 am
the fact that i don't think anyone would have expected anyone in the pentagon. you know of a certain age that's not so familiar with this chord would have expected these highly sensitive documents about intelligence on the battlefield in ukraine, for example. to be posted on this, you know, in this chat room where people were also playing minecraft and counter strike another video games that are not necessarily familiar to a certain generation of people, the pentagon, so it's just a wild story all around, and we were able to communicate with some people on one of these discord, chat rooms where the documents were shared. um and but this reporting from the post traces it back to a different chat room where it all began. and where this apparent leaker was boasting about his knowledge about military operations and ah , for clout for, you know, to sort of bond with these with these other guys. there's some unknown questions, but there's a lot to unpack this morning. don
4:07 am
listen. i said it spread like wildfire. but initially, according to the reporting that it sat there for a while, and people didn't believe that it was real until they started reading it right. and then, um i guess the intention of the leaker was just distrust in government and so he wanted to get the information out there. right i mean, we were still sort of analyzing his motives, but i mean part of the culture on some of these chat rooms is sort of one up one upsmanship and you know and bragging and sort of doing it for the for the l o. l for the laws for grins, so there's certainly a bit of bravado there. and then, according to the post reporting , there's this. there's sort of reverence for this guy. these younger people in this chat room. the post talked to his supposed friend who is a minor. and so this guy cultivated this almost cult like, you know, image there in the chat room. don is o g. they called them the alleged leaker, sean lingus.
4:08 am
thank you very much for that. we also have new cnn reporting this morning. the pentagon is now limiting who gets access to highly classified daily intelligence briefs. some u. s officials are being cut out from an email list despite having the proper clearance following that major leak of classified documents on was just talking about natasha bear turned joins us now their head well, this is separate from the issue of over classification, which we heard bill byrne talking about this week, but you know, it's interesting what the pentagon is doing to try to put a lid on this because we don't know if the leaks over exactly right, poppy. so, as we've reported, the pentagon has been doing this internal investigation to try to figure out how to stem the flow of future leaks, and what they have done is they have started to comb through the distribution lists of these highly classified documents that are distributed across the entire government daily and they have begun to whittle down those lists, and we are told that people across the government different agencengono
4:09 am
were receiving this daily highly classified intelligence briefing that is put together by the pentagon's joint staff are now not receiving it anymore. so clearly, they have begun to put a lid on who is able to receive these documents. and we should note that the pentagon previously distributed these documents widely across the government to potentially thousands of people and all of those people did have proper clearance to view these documents. it's not as though the individuals who are receiving it did not have the right security clearance. but not all of those people had a need to know. when it came to these documents, and so the pentagon now is trying to figure out who actually needs to see these highly classified documents that are prepared for senior pentagon officials on a daily basis, and who doesn't and so they've begun to seriously limit the distribution of these documents. in an attempt really , to prevent these kinds of leaks from happening again, poppy, of course, whatever they can do, natasha, thank you for that reporting. so a huge development this morning in the legal battle over a widely used
4:10 am
abortion pill in appeals court has ruled that mifepristone will remain available for now, but the court also imposed temporary restrictions. women will not be allowed to have the medication delivered by mail comes as a justice department fights a federal judge's ruling in texas . he abruptly suspended the pills fda approval last week. after it had been on the market and available to women for more than 20 years. it's bringing now cnn's supreme court reporter our endeavor with more on this. good morning, ari. and this is only a partial and temporary freeze on the judge's ruling, right. this amounts to a partial win for the biden administration here. basically what this appeals court said, is that the government's approval of this drug could stay in place for now. now. that's a sigh of relief for supporters of this medication. abortion drug the drug stays on the market. for now, however, what this court did is it did block some more recent changes that the fda had
4:11 am
put in place to make it easier. to obtain the drug and those changes. they said it could be distributed by mail. it could be dispensed later in pregnancy, so the appeals court did move there to block that. it's interesting to see this appeals court that had to trump nominees on it is still expressing some skepticism about the safety of the drug. so even while it scaled back on that broad district court opinion, the fact that it's still expressing some skepticism that's got to bother the biden administration. do you think this goes to the supreme court? so it's hard to tell right? this is the early part. it's a partial win for the biden ministrations, so they may think okay, right now, we won't go on this emergency basis to the supreme court and, plus the fact the appeals court is now said it's really going to expedite
4:12 am
its hearings in the lower court . now the case moves on to the merits. so maybe for now, the biden administration doesn't go up. the other side doesn't go up. they wait and see, but it's too early this morning. haven't heard from either side now. but again, the biden administration was always thinking how unprecedented this lawsuit has been, because, as you said, this particular abortion medication drug had been on the books for some 20 years, and millions of women really use it. that's why the vitamin station was so stunned by this entire lawsuit. yeah. it was fascinating reading judge cosmetics order that, you know it goes all the way back. he takes it back to the comstock. act and just the it's going to be fascinating to see as it goes to the courts. that's for sure, man. thank you. thanks. so we turn now to congressman ro khanna, who joins us to talk about both of this morning's big stories, abortion pills and the leaks and also what's happening with congresswoman. um uh, dianne
4:13 am
feinstein. good morning. thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. there's a lot to get to congressman. you're in the armed services committee. so let's start with this document leak in the latest that we are learning from the washington post at the leaker worked on the military base shared docs in a discord group. that he was part of. what's your response to that? was deeply concerning. we need to make sure that our secrets are safe and our committee will be working to see why those leaks happen and how we can protect america's secrets , so our troops are not in harm's way. are you surprised by the young person leaking this on a gaming site, and then you have a you know these teenagers following this gaming site. i mean that the mere fact if this reporting is true that classified documents and secrets can get into the hands of people on a on a site like this, it's stunning. it's stunning and it's not a game. i mean, when you
4:14 am
have a leak of sensitive information, it puts american military personnel at risk. these are people who are wearing the uniform. they're taking lisk risks with their lives. this is not a light matter. it puts ukrainians, civilians at potential risk. and so we have to understand why there was a breakdown. why these leaks happen. how to prevent them from happening again. can you share anything? because you were the pentagon brief? to yesterday. your committee. well i don't want to get into the details. obviously if anything that is sensitive, but all i can say is that the committee is deeply concerned about any leaks and we'll be doing everything we can to make sure that this kind of situation doesn't happen again and we'll be asking why there was a breakdown in the protection of intelligence congressman also overnight, an appeals court partially frozen texas judge's order that would have suspended fda approval of
4:15 am
medication abortion pill. medford. kristen, what is your take on this? what was an outrageous ruling by the texas judge, as is evident by the fact that it was overturned in a few days. the idea that you would deny a pill that millions of women have been using for years , and the fda approved shows how ideological extreme some of these judges have become. now the court of appeals are glad that they have allowed the pill to be used, but they still have put some restrictions in place that make no sense. i mean, why should you not be able to get a medicine in the mail in the 21st century america that makes no sense. why can't you get this pill near in a health clinic without having to go? through your doctor, so there are common sense measures that the appeals court still needs to fix. and i hope that the supreme court will
4:16 am
fix it. but i'm glad that the bride and justice apartment is fighting this every step of the way, and it's a step to have the outrageous fda decision by the texas judge overturned. you use the original ruling that you said was outrageous. you use that ruling to call for the resignation of one of your colleagues and you also have the coach of the democratic congressman barbara lee's campaign to fill dianne feinstein seat. come 2024. why are you asking dianne feinstein to resign? first of all, let me just say this. i have an enormous amount of respect for senator dianne feinstein. she has had an extraordinary career in public service. she has been an icon on issues of gun violence and women's rights, but it has become painfully obvious to many of us in california that she is no longer able to fulfill her duties as she doesn't have a clear return date. we haven't been able to confirm judges at a time where women's rights and
4:17 am
voting rights are under assault . senator durbin himself was the chair of judiciary has said that the reason we're not being able to move these judges is because senator feinstein isn't there. and so as someone from california i felt an obligation to say what's so many colleagues are saying in private. the time has come for her to gracefully step down and have a dignified end to a very distinguished political career overnight, she said. dianne feinstein said that she wanted the senate majority leader, chuck schumer, to temporarily appoint someone to take her place on the committee. does that alleviate any of your concerns or do you still want her to resign? it's a step but as has been reported, it's not that simple. any single senator , republican senator can object to that. senator schumer has done the right thing, he said. he's going to try to get that done in the senate. but we have to see if that's even possible. and i guess my question is, why not just take the step and
4:18 am
resign instead of going through all of these motions, but i will say it's constructive. the my, the most urgent issue is that we can get our judges confirmed. congressman ro khanna. thank you. thank you don all right. we have a lot coming up ahead during selection about to begin in the dominion lawsuit against fox news that is ahead. also in south florida. the rain has just been stunning historic downpours and it isn't even hurricane season yet look at all that water. you can see that we've been showing this to you now a couple different times this sections of the parking lot and sections of some green space between the main section of campus and the road that gets you out to biscayne completely flooded here. morgan stanley old school hard work a bold new thinking. at 87 years old. we

4:22 am
the shipping is free. 104 160972 that's 1 804 16097 to call now. i'm natasha chen in los angeles. and this is cnn. this morning, officials see south florida is now experiencing a one in 1000 year rain event up to 20 inches of rain fell in just 24 hours. this flooding is turning streets into rivers, stalling cars breaching buildings. it is even shut down for lauderdale's airport. it leaves a lot of
4:23 am
travelers stranded or cola. saurus joins us live in fort lauderdale, florida with more i mean, you are in the street turned river, right? yeah that's exactly right, poppy. good morning, so if these are flooding, numbers hold if all of this rainfall total numbers hold , we're talking about two ft of rain that fell across parts of fort lauderdale yesterday. those kind of numbers are we what we might usually see with a hurricane in a neighborhood just north of fort lauderdale hollywood international airport. whereas you can see behind me. the story right now is all of this flooding. cars here are making the drivers out here at least, are making the difficult decision of whether or not they want to go ahead and try to get through all of this water. what's happening out here in fort lauderdale and some of these neighborhoods is drivers are deciding to go against traffic because they will hit a pocket of water where they don't know if it's deep enough in their cars are going to get stuck, and so this is what's happening for a good part of broward county to give you a
4:24 am
sense of just kind of traffic that all of this is causing. we are just a few minutes off of interstate i 95 which is a pretty busy interstate that connects north and south. you can see the line of cars out here. the drivers unsure of exactly how long it's going to take them to go where they need to be. the situation. the flooding here in broward is bad enough that broward county schools decided to cancel classes for the day. and all of this is playing out just a few minutes north of fort lauderdale hollywood international airport , where things there remain closed at this hour. it appears airport fight open at the earliest around noon, but already we're looking at about 300 flights have been canceled or delayed because of all of this flooding that is going on across a good part of broward and miami dade county. it's a little bit loud out here because he's got some trucks moving by us but i can tell you one of the big problems that happened here yesterday is that this rain
4:25 am
really just sat on top of a good part of broward county for most of the day, and so we just saw hour after hour, all of this rain falling across a good part of fort lauderdale. and as you said, coming back out here if these numbers hold we're talking about a rainfall event that we have not seen in a very long time. we're talking about numbers that we might normally get when it comes to a hurricane , and it's not even hurricane season yet. wow carlos. thank you appreciate it. so jury selection is set to begin today in dominion voting systems. $1.6 billion defamation case against fox fox is experiencing new legal setbacks in the case of judges now sanctioning fox over concerns that it would help key evidence. he plans to appoint an outside attorney to investigate the matter. delaware superior court judge eric davis admonishing fox attorney saying , and i quote here i am very concerned that there have been misrepresentations to the court . this is very serious to fox news is being sued for allegedly promoting false claims about
4:26 am
dominion machines. rigging the 2020 presidential election. fox denies that it ever defamed dominion and says that it properly disclosed rupert murdoch's role and its public financial filings. so joining us now attorney ken turkel, he has represented multiple high profile figures like sarah palin and hulk hogan in defamation cases. so it's interesting that we have him and we're so glad that you're with us this morning. thank you, sir. so judge sanctioning fox news, appointing a special master to investigate what is behind this . i mean, this is really significant legally. john donne . i think one of the most significant things is when it's happening. it's not uncommon in cases to have battles over discovery. what was what was introduced, but to have evidence this this substance. showing up in the discovery fight on the eve of trial i've never experienced in 33 years. never and again. you were you even represented hulk hogan in that
4:27 am
very famous case. i mean, i read that i read that in first amendment class in school. yes i mean, that's so for you to have not seen something says a lot. that's my point here. can you talk about go ahead. well i was gonna say, you know, you see discovery fights, right? but you have the grossberg recordings. the murdoch testimony on the eve of a trial that has been this hotly contested. there's been so much back and forth that to me is just it's uncommon. the discovery fighting on so much you're getting those in every case. but this kind of evidence when they're about to pick a jury and their sanctions now in a master, i know fascinating to me how it plays out because they're because his investigation so it is fascinating, especially of a special master looking at this. can i just ask you because yesterday we had sarah fisher on one of our journalist colleagues who said she is a little bit worried about what this suit could mean for journalism because of the malice standard
4:28 am
here. can you just speak to your view on that at large? yes i mean, you know, palin cases, um, alice case and you know i default to something that i think is the panel discussion that hasn't been had yet and that is in an internet age, right when everyone has the same access to media by tagging media outlets, um and you have a computer and you put out whatever salacious content and then tag everybody you've really got into the core of what started the public figure exception, the political figure exception and actual malice information is traveling. we just didn't anticipate it's being consumed in disseminated in a way that people are newscasters are on the news. telling their stories, and at the same time, the stories are changing real time all over the internet. so look, i think i think the hard look at that component of this anyway. beyond that, though, you know, in this case i don't i don't know how
4:29 am
much it's going to be tested because there's an overwhelming amount of documentary evidence that memorialized the state of mind. and you don't really have that much to the time. hmm. yeah it's emails, texts, etcetera. it's interesting. listen not all public figures are the same. right i mean, do you have the fox news newscasters, and then you have fox news on top of which they work for. i'm just and, uh, that's another thing because we were talking about journalists. i don't want to get bogged down that i want to talk about rupert murdoch taking the witness stand. what do you think that's going to do for the case? done you know, we talked about it last time. i said it's more about the atmospherics of the case. the optics of the case right because the state of mind of hannity of crossing the four that are in the line of fire, since you for the report is what's going to matter what is in the mind of the rider what is in the mind of the broadcaster? with respect to actual mouse,
4:30 am
the knowledge of truth or falsity or reckless disregard. rupert murdoch doesn't really matter for that, but but what is a trial lawyer? you're telling a story and the optics the atmospherics around this guy, the head of everything. admits under oath. that he did not believe in the veracity of these statements. and as i told you last time we talked, it was what they lead with their summary judgment. uh opposition what dominion lead with right? the rupert murdoch testimony. jurors have a great deal of faith, the jury system, but they're humans, too. and even though that that particular fact that particular aspect of the case i e. what did rupert murdoch know? when hannity was broadcasting? um does it matter that could be in the verdict form, but it's going to affect how they perceive the entity. i don't see how it could, um, so i think dominions done a good job strategically of setting that up. hey, we gotta go. yes or no. everyone seems to think it's bad for fox news. is
4:31 am
there a path to victory for fox? dan webs and awful good trial lawyer tong, but i have a hard time seeing it, okay. i don't know the whole case, but it's hard to see it on the facts that are there right now. all right, fascinating, ken. thanks thank you, sir. good seeing you as well. police. releasing the horrifying 911 calls from monday's deadly mass shooting in louisville with the gunman's mother told dispatchers about her son's mental health. i'm eva longoria in the state of nuevo leon. the land of this is definitely a mexican kitchen tour. this is amazing. longoria searching for mexico sundaat nine on n regular season ends the drama built playing tournament on tnt, four teams in each conference final two playoff spots. nba playing tournament coverage continues tomorrow at seven on tnt to brag

her that her husband is gone as, um amongst the hardest thing i have ever done. the hardest thing i have ever done. it's an extraordinary interview, and you're going to see the whole thing tonight with caitlin. the family of the gunmen also released this statement. um if we could pull it up, connor likes many, like many of his contemporaries have mental health challenges, which we as a family we're actively addressing were never warning signs or indications is capable of this shocking. act let's talk about the mental health aspect here with james densely. he's a criminologist and co founder of the violence project. it's a nonprofit they research and study gun violence. he's also the co author of the violence project had to stop a mass shooting epidemic. we appreciate you being here in the morning like this. we have far too many mornings after mass shootings. can you stop this epidemic? yeah i genuinely believe we can, but
4:41 am
it is going to take everybody working together. to be alert to the warning signs that somebody is in a crisis because every single one of these mass shootings has two things in common really, which is number one firearm and then number two that these are really driven by despair. so somebody who perpetrates a mass shooting has got to a point in life where they no longer care if they live or die because of mass shooting is always intended to be a final act. there's no really escape plan. or plan for after the fact so we have to be looking out for amongst our loved ones. all that size that somebody is getting to that point where they no longer care if they live or die, and then in that same process and now looking to purchase a firearm and maybe planning for this type of an event and if we can start to see those types of warning signs, then absolutely we can get ahead of these shootings. but it's but it's challenging because nobody who's
4:42 am
mentally well perpetrates a mass shooting, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are mentally ill and that there are really clear precursors. that sort of everybody is going to be aware of. okay wait. say that again. no one who is mentally well perpetrates these, but it doesn't say that again. so nobody who's mentally well would perpetrate a mass shooting. but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are mentally ill that they have a diagnosed mental illness and that we can then draw through line to say that mental illness is the cause of this because the vast majority of people with mental illness never perpetrate this type of violence. you're more likely to be a victim of violence than you are. an offender, and so we want to be really careful about not stigmatizing people. i agree with you 100% on that one, so because mental illness has become an easy target to blame for mass shootings, but people who have mental illness right are most often the victims of crime, especially violent crime than the perpetrator, but isn't
4:43 am
the common factor then? because mental illness happens all over the world? we had this discussion and we were planning this segment. i'm not sure if this is your bailiwick, but mr holness happens all over the world. the only difference is that our access to guns in the united states. yeah i mean, this is a commonality, but also that's not forget that our mental health system is also very different to other countries as well. and so the lack of a social safety net in the united states and you know a lot of the reporting that you're here around a failing mental health system and the lack of access and affordability is also an underlying factor here, but we can't discount the fact the united states has 6 to 7 times its share of mass shootings per capita than what it should have. and a common factor here is access to firearms. here's the key thing. when somebody is in a mental health crisis when they are changing behavior from baseline and you know that baseline. you know what this person is like. and then all of
4:44 am
a sudden you're seeing some warning signs of increased aggression or agitation or losing touch with reality or depression, hopelessness? that's not the time now to then be selling them a firearm. and if you know that you've got somebody in your life, it's never really expressed an interest in buying a gun or owning a gun. and then all of a sudden goes out and buys one while they've got these other challenges going on, that's your big red frag and the other thing in over such we see as well as mass shooters study other mass shooters. they often draw inspiration from them. so that's another big warning sign. if you're purchasing weapons and also unhealthily obsessed with mass shootings. that's really where we should be concerned. fascinating thank you, james for the work you do, and for talking about this publicly, we appreciate it. thank you for the opportunity. i appreciate it. also we're talking and you saw part of caitlin's interview with a really grieving kentucky governor, andy bashir, who lost

4:49 am
this morning. brought to you by sky rizzi. this is not 2016 donald trump is a known quantity . he makes his message of revenge. clear field of play is focusing on president biden's failures. what americans want to see is the contrast between the radical left and the blueprint to ruin america and why our policies actually work. what i am saying is i don't kick sideways. i'm kicking forward joe biden is the president. he is the one i'm running against donald trump's a friend. i'm not running against him. alright so several republicans jacqueline to stand out and already crowded field for the 2024 nominations, so how can they rise above the fray? pollster frank luntz says that he is a playbook for it. he
4:50 am
lays it all out in his latest op ed for the new york times, basing his strategy on his interactions with his most recent focus groups. we're glad to have him joining us now. is pollster and communications strategist. frank luntz. okay so good morning to you, let's go through your playbook here, starting with starting with humility, humility here is to understand how the votes are actually cast. you can't win 40% if you're not donald trump 30% maybe 25% is your ceiling. okay, okay. the republican primary vote. the electorate is divided by winner take all states and states where you win the congressional districts. yeah, republican has to come in first or second to get the lion's share of delegates. humility says don't expect that you're going to come out of the gate very quickly. you have to do it slowly, methodically. humble, humble. okay what do you mean by do better? what does that mean? it means that you cannot support the status quo. republican
4:51 am
voters want significant change. they want reform. they want to drain the swamp. they want change, and you have to be the change candidate, not the status quo candidate. so then, here i am just wondering so real people matter because i'm going to get to the gop focused on these social issues here from 2024 like or would that help them win over younger, more independent voters? clearly the governor of florida beliefs so but in our polling and focus groups, that's not the primary issue that's not the second issue. it's about the economy stupid as we've heard before, and it's about bringing about fundamental change. real people, not endorsements of members of congress stand, even good coverage and the media. it's small business owners. it's ranchers, farmers, most importantly, veterans. what do average everyday americans think about politics? bring them into the campaign, and you're going to be successful. four and i think this is important. you have to divide how you relate to the trump presidency. from how you relate to donald trump. the
4:52 am
public will not tolerate your attacking the trump administration 2017 to 2021 what they will tolerate is saying to donald trump stop being so negative. stop being so cruel and stop attacking other republicans fifth. the average republican voter is pretty old. i like to say the average republican voters deceased. they all have grandkids, and they will change their vote based on what impacts their grandchildren and the number one issue for the grandchildren about the grandchildren is the debt ceiling. really republicans have to get back at accountability and they have to get at the spending issue. this is what matters most to them because this affects you said military salaries, social security checks, hospitals. bondholders and what have you on recession financial crisis that's more important to them. that's more important than than structural issues stop wasteful washington spending character also matters and we have the example of donald trump criticizing barack
4:53 am
obama for spending so much time playing golf when trump was on the golf course, four times or five times more often. at a cost of $150 million to hardworking taxpayers. they don't like that . but republican voters and donald trump supporters never saw that they actually believe the former president, meaning donald trump that he that barack obama played more golf when it was exactly opposite of reality . you have to show them you have to prove it, which is tough to more. this is critical. you have to bring over independence. you have to bring over conservatives. if this is just about the trump vote, you will lose. and finally you have to be able to prove that donald trump made the promises. but in the end he didn't deliver. you really want a wall on the southern border? you need to vote for change. you really want genuine accountability. you vote for change. get it done. that's the candidate that wins. that is a winning strategy to winning strategy. and this can take any of these opponents against. but let me be clear. donald trump is
4:54 am
clearly the leader right now. the primaries were held today, donald trump would be the nominee. that's a winning strategy for any of the candidates other than donald trump is correct. franklin's poppy. fascinating the washington post speaking to a friend of the man believed to have been the leaker leaked hundreds of classified intelligence documents. he was. he was a young, charismatic man who loved nature. god who loved shooting guns and racing cars. more of these details ahead first. ah pizza rat your days and may be numbered. new york's mayor just appointed the city's first ever rat czar, soup, hate rats and rats are going to hate me going to hate me before it's over. askingg the right question can greatly impact your future.
