shot because of it. they're gonna have spears that they never thought about in their life that now they're going to think about all the time there is this culture within america that shoot first ask questions later. what is going on in this country? at least two people are dead this morning after severe storms tore across three states overnight tornado left down trees and power lines, creating challenges for first responders to find those trapped in a number of emergency crews all over this area. look at all the damage. the inflow is insane. access to the comment. abortion drug kristen still legal, at least for now, this is a really uncertain time for the abortion rights movement. pandora's box of potential legal issues. real question is, will they hear it? and where are they headed on this? we don't want a supreme court justice in our bedrooms, telling us what to do. not can

you hear me? now? can you hear me? we saw a missile land very close to our vehicle. thousands have already died in the battle continues to rage. safety is just a word here and rubble is a place. we don't know where they come from who made them for how they operate. we are tracking over 650 cases. this hearing is unprecedented. there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. successful we should be able to normalize everything that we're doing and make that part of their mission and their role. good morning. everyone is you can see. there is a lot of news ufos included alone, that's for sure something whether it's a drone or not, is with us, um but really severe, deadly weather across much of the middle of the country right now , more than 50 million americans are under threat of severe weather after a tornado outbreak killed at least two people in

oklahoma. this is the small, hard hit town of coal. it's about 30 miles south of oklahoma city, homes and buildings ripped apart ande through that community. i just want to give you a perspective of what it looks like here in the truck right now. i mean, storm command is rocking like i've never felt it before. oh, my gosh. oh yeah. oh, my gosh, this is incredible. one back up a little bit more. we're fine. where we're at the tornado is getting stronger. right back over here to the left. it's moving extremely slowly. you can see just how enormous that tornado is. it was just one of several that struck the region and now the powerful storm is on the move the severe weather threat extending all the way from south texas to wisconsin. look at that almost all the way up the country, also across the midwest and tennessee, derek van dam's tracking all of it for us,

corny derek. yeah i wouldn't want to be anywhere near where that storm chaser or meteorologist was. that's too close for comfort for me. the storms were acting very erratic . at one time, there was actually two super cell thunderstorms that we're feeding off of each other one became the dominant storm and dropped yet another tornado very terrifying overnight period for residents of oklahoma. take a listen a large tornado barreling through central oklahoma wednesday. the tornado is just to our south right here. damon is pulling in tremendous inflow into it continuing to produce damage. we have large hailstones being pulled into the tornado as well . the tornado hit cole oklahoma , killing at least two people, a local official told cnn. very very intense, very slow moving. tornado tornado left down trees and power lines creating challenges for first responders to find those trapped. there were over 150 storm reports

wednesday and 15 tornadoes. eight tornadoes hit oklahoma for in iowa and three in kansas. hail damaged this local stations . helicopter mid air the hell up . i have no windshield helicopters beat up. we're trying to make its paws, valley and land. multiple hailstorms hit parts of oklahoma, causing severe damage workers at this oklahoma papa john's hid in the walk in freezer that was surrounded by three ft. of concrete running pretty hard. then we heard hail and walked outside and a piece of pale hit me in the face. so then i went back inside, and then we went back into the walk in freezer, the general manager of that papa john says her car was thrown across the parking lot front door flew open, and, um it was like flapping in the wind, so i ran out there and pulled the door shut and locked it so that

it s to protect us a little more. and then we went all back in the walk in and then when it finally comes all the way down, we came outside and mike cars, literally, not where i left it. this assisted living facility had to evacuate 33 of its tenants after the building was destroyed, and the front of this assisted living facility is just completely blown away. there's holes in it. there's no glass everything seems to be gone. luckily no injuries were reported. the windows are blown out. and there's water in the building. the girls had started getting people in their bathrooms and for those that could and then pulling people away from the windows. so they're the heroes tonight. can you imagine trying to find your car and it's not where you put it the night before. just incredible. this is a helicopter view of one of the tornadoes and let me show you why this is so dangerous. it's actually wrapped within this rain shaft, making it invisible to the viewer on the ground. but one thing's for sure. we know that a massive

what we call a wedge tornado is hidden behind that shaft of rain. and uh, actual wedge tornado was wider than it is tall, so you can imagine the damage path that it creates. we know these storms have been tornadic. they are not currently tornadic, but certainly strong, gusty winds moving across kansas city. here's our severe threat from houston. all the way to chicago can't rule out a tornado today don many people have to be concerned, derek. thanks and iris agent is seeking whistleblower protections in order to share allegations of mishandling and political interference in the ongoing hunter biden criminal probe. federal prosecutors have been investigating president biden's son, since at least 2018. so joining us now cnn political correspondent sara sara murray, i should have said that the allegations of mishandling right allegations of mishandling sarah good morning to you. what do we know about this type of information the irs agent might have well, look, we know that this ira as agent through his lawyer is going to congress, republicans and democrats

saying, i want to provide you information, but so far there being pretty vague about what they have to share. the letter from this lawyer says that his client, the irs agent, is involved in an ongoing and sensitive investigation involving a high profile, controversial individual. we know that to be hunter biden from a source familiar with the matter. and again, the allegations are sort of vague alleges preferential treatment and politics coming into play in terms of whether to prosecute this case, it talks about failing to mitigate clear conflicts of interest. you know , we know there has been an ongoing criminal investigation into hunter biden for tax crimes for making a false statement. he has not been charged and there have been disagreements between irs agents and the fbi about this strength of the evidence in this investigation, so now it's clear that there is an irs agent who was apparently involved in the case who wants to go to congress and share what he believes are allegations of mishandling and politics at play here likely is that this request to be granted, sarah well, it's

very clear that republicans want to get this guy in here and want the information done. i mean, i know that we know they are very eager to investigate the biden family. we know jim jordan, the judiciary chair is very eager to investigate what he believes is the weaponization of the government. so i think from the gop side, they are going to try to work to make this happen, and we should note that we have course reached out to the irs. we reached out to hunter biden's legal team. we reached out to the u. s attorney in delaware for comment. all of them declined to comment. sarah murray, thank you thanks morning, there's a manhunt underway for a suspect in north carolina. this is a story we were talking about earlier. this person is accused of shooting a six year old girl and her father after a basketball rolled into his yard and gaston county on tuesday night. even though the man why did she shoot my daddy and me? kid dad. leaves you speechless. her face was hit by bullet fragments while her father is still in the hospital

. we don't have any update on his condition yet, but police say that 24 year old robert louis, singletary, also entered another neighbor and fled after the incident, they warned, it could be aren't and it's certainly considered dangerous. will be sure to be loud and clear when this case comes to court, and the people who gassed in cali well will see and hear our commitment to that prosecution got me and my husband too. he just went out of bullets. neighbors say that singletary was new to the neighborhood also often threatened children. we will absolutely keep you updated on that story this morning, police in texas have arrested a man accused of shooting two cheerleaders in a parking lot when one of them mistakenly got into the wrong car. pedro rodriguez jr is charged with deadly conduct. one of those athletes is 18 year old peyton washington. she remains in the hospital this morning in critical condition. rosa flores joins us again. with an update on how she is doing. do we have an update? pompey good morning.

well, peyton is still in the icu . and as you might imagine, this is not just a physical challenge because she was shot twice once in the back once in the leg and the wound impacted organs. it's also an emotional challenge for her because she's a competitive athlete, and this happened just days before the cheerleading championships, the world championships now we received a statement overnight from lynn shir. she is the owner of the gym where peyton trains and here's what she said quote she was able to watch your team via facetime last night as they had their final practice and show off before leaving to compete this weekend. it was very hard for her to watch and not be there, you know, sheer adds that peyton is expected to make a full recovery. as for the latest on this investigation, we've obtained the search warrant affidavit that has extra details . according to this document that detectives were able to find the suspect because of the surveillance video from the grocery store. they ran. the license speech went to the

registered address, and the first talk to the suspect's brother. then the suspect walked out of the home wearing the same black hoodie that they had seen in the surveillance video, and that's when he was taken into custody. police identify the suspect as 25 year old pedro rodriguez and pompey. i should add that in that search warrant once it was executed, they wrote to recover a gun, ammunition and also, um uh, other items from inside that vehicle copy. keep us posted on patents condition. we're all thinking about her. rosa. thank you for the reporting from austin. now to andrew lester, the white homeowner who is accused of shooting a black 16 year old ralph jarl. he pled not guilty yesterday to two felonies. lester told police that he was scared to death of jarawa due to his size. lester is 84 years old , was released on bond. he is due back in court. june 1st. prosecuting attorney said there

was a racial component to this case. miraculously you always back at home, recovering from his injuries. after three days in the hospital, there's a picture of him taken yesterday with his lawyer, lee merritt. so joining us now is quint ludwig. he is the grandson of andrew lester. and we always like to get a perspective on the thinking of someone. someone who knows him why they might do this. so clint. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. thank you don. good morning. good morning to you. so, what is your reaction? what was your reaction when you heard that your grandfather shot ralph ural for bringing his doorbell? i was disgusted. i thought it was terrible. we might myself and my family stand with ralph yaro and seeking justice. it's a this is a horrible tragedy never should have happened. folks are gonna want to know why you speaking out and apparently against her grandfather. it's the right thing to do. um this country

happens over and over again where people get away with killing unarmed innocent black people and it's a i would have had the same energy for any other cases like i've had. over and over again in this country, like i said, but it's the right thing to do. people need to speak out, not making excuses for this kind of behavior in this violence. he said, for killing innocent black people, the prosecutor in this case, it's suggested there was a racial component to it. do you believe your grandfather is racist? i believe he held holds racist tendencies. beliefs. why do you say that? uh, he's just a stock american christian male. it's a older, you know, that's just how they are. it's a the conspiracies and weird random. racist things they say sound, and it doesn't make sense. but they're just scared. now listen , you're generalizing a lot here about you said older christian

white males. but what do you mean by that? what do you mean? they're scared. talk to me more, please. okay yeah, i just i feel like a lot of people of that generation or caught up in this a 24 hour news cycle of fear and paranoia perpetuated by some other. news stations and he was fully into the outs and watch fox news all day every day blaring. in his living room. and i think that stuff really kind of reinforces this negative view of minority groups and leads people to be all over. the innocent doesn't necessarily lead people to be racist, but it reinforces in galvanizes racist people. and their beliefs. now apparently correct me if i'm wrong, clint, you said that your grandfather would say or do things. um apparently that you did not subscribe to, um, that caused you to distance yourself from him. say and do things like what? that's right. a lot of it

was the kind of q and on level conspiracies about election, denying and then they got really weird with some some fauci dogs. i really didn't know what that meant. valley push back on some of this stuff and he couldn't handle being pushed back on and at a certain point, we kind of lost touch. and, uh, i think it was more of his choice than mine. did he say or do things that you found offensive about minorities or people of color? yes he would say some things. i think he i can't remember. exactly now all that happened, but i know he has something about i had a really hard take about abortion and how something about black women getting abortions and i didn't know what he was talking about. but i said, i don't really want to talk to you about this anymore. this is racist, and it's dumb. so let's move on and i buy push back and he didn't like that either at the time. so listen.

the kansas city star also spoke to your brother. your brother's name is daniel ludwig and he said it seems like a bunch of mistakes in a row that resulted in the tragedy. i mean, a lot of mistakes all the way around. unfortunately if you look at the affidavit, there were actions taken that caused my grandpa's side isn't being reported, and he is saying that your grandfather is not racist. he doesn't believe that. you can say that. i think he's running defense a little bit. i don't think he sees him. program who he is. did you? did your grandfather have a gun? more weapons in the house. they were all over. yes. what do you mean? they the guns are all over. they were he had him. stashed in some spots and had a big locker full of them and but, yeah, he was

ready to defend his home, as he would say. considering that the recent history i mean, is this a recent history that you found your grandfather? is that why you pulled away from him as he always been this way, or is this something new? something um, i feel like he's been pretty conservative for a long time, which is fine and but and feel like, feel like in the last five or six years, it's really ramped up views of huge trump supporter and between that and then the galvanizing the people who have been feeling lately with the politicians and ideologues, cosigning violence and domestic violence of domestic terror ism and even pardoning people who murder other people for differing political beliefs. i feel like all that stuff is really ramped up. his um his beliefs are radicalized, radicalized him a little bit. i'm just wondering because we have been covering these and there are usually not always there are warning signs. you feel like the warning signs were

there. that's why i asked you if this is something that happened recently. i yeah, i believe so. the morning signs are there. i wasn't shocked when i heard the news. i believed it. what didn't he did live alone. uh yeah. up until recently his wife lived there. but yes, he was living alone at the time. until recently, his wife lived there. she didn't live there. she wasn't there at the time, though, wasn't there, okay? what message do you have for ralph? you're all in his family, clint. yeah, yeah. proud of you, ralph . i'm so sorry this happened to you. i am. i understand you're amazing kid, and i think you're going to grow up to be an amazing man and you didn't do anything wrong. uh, the outpouring of support that the country has shown to you, i think is says more than i ever could say i'm really thankful for shaun king for making this a national news story getting them

and the people getting out on the streets and demanding attention. in real views. you don't deserve to have your life fundamentally changed like you had it. and user of justice and my family stands with you. have you reached out to charles. no, um no, i don't really know how. i don't know how to do any of this stuff. so i think there will make sure that they see this. i just want to know what do you what message do you have for your grandfather? i really don't know what to say to him. i'm really sad. this happened. he didn't need to do this. this didn't have to happen. um they didn't need to be scared of a young young kid coming to his door and i it's absurd. he needs to get his paranoia and this isn't just for him to a lot of people in the world. the paranoia and adam izing. the society is it's gonna lead to isn't really bad stuff, and we're not doing anything to fix

it. we're just getting galvanized that staying home alone. quite ludwig. thank you for your time. i appreciate it. thank you. thank you. coming up on cnn this morning. this. close call with a russian missile, a cnn team in ukraine nick payton. walsh joins us live with actual video of what happened. booking .com i'm going to somewhwhere where beach house a treehousese. honestly, i don't care. find the perfect vacation rental for you bookg .com looking dot yeah, doorslaces. to new adventures. planned. and unplanned. two

crimea off from the rest of ukraine occupied by russia or rocky hit by strategic aviation missiles, and we saw ourselves just what that's like for locals when a missile came very close to our armored vehicles. close to ukraine's imminent counter offensive in the southeast, where russia has long been brutalizing. pain is commonplace and the damage often everywhere and indiscriminate. the quiet is a blessing that rarely lasts. we warned of a missile strike incoming and leave. we can feel the pressure wave from the blast behind armored car behind us. can you hear me? john our producer is in our second vehicle, just past the smoke driver, igor muggeridge. and isn't answering. can you hear me? the missile landed right

between our cars. can you hear me? can you hear me? 10 seconds . we have no idea if they are relying just said something that can you hear me? yes, i can hear you. that's them. are you guys okay? we're fine. just leave. drive out the way we left. we leave together. for so many. that choice of leaving is something imaginary. that happens above ground. the only power and water in town down here underground here has been hard for quite some time. but it will get harder when the counter offensive begins pushing certainly in this direction. if there is space for laughter. it's from this screechy slapstick soviet era comedy about a drunken goofball, briefly bending the thickset grimaces here. mm. so then. true

. for them. great. guardian angels seem here to flit by in a town where 50 died in the war and 200 were injured. safety is just a word here and rubble is a place. that we've seen images of the damage caused by the missile that nearly hit us a substantial creator one you see similarly across town near a school for sports that was hit by a strategic air strike, also to a factory. all of them, it seemed

with very little military utility, according to locals, but part of the relentless bombardment moscow is putting in place as i seem to somehow think that might slow down and ukrainian advance. we're seeing signs of that in the villages around. or a heave. momentum potentially building no obvious sign. the counter offensive is underway, but it feels very close and the uptick in russian bombardment perhaps a reflection of that, don all right, nick paton walsh and central ukraine for us this morning. thank you, nick. please be safe, remarkable to see. meantime house speaker kevin mccarthy laying out his plan to try to get some concessions to raise the debt ceiling. but is it something that biden administration could get on board with at all? we're going to be joined next by the white house press secretary korean jump here. next. they said they're gonna default unless i agree to all these wacko notions they have. there's always a fresh feel on the susubway app like this. 1 50% of

risk bumbling his way into the first default in our nation's history. that was house speaker kevin mccarthy, putting his cards on the table and this high stakes standoff with the white house over raising the debt limit. mccarthy's proposal would raise the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion that would delay the next debt ceiling deadline until march, 2024 it would also cut funding for federal agencies down to 2022 levels, it would block the administration's student debt cancelation program . it would create new work requirements for those on public assistance and a lot more. the clock is ticking. experts predict the us could default as early as june. let's talk about this and much more with the white house press secretary korean john pr create good morning and thank you. good morning, poppy. after mccarthy released this plan, the president called them quote wacko notions. any of them palatable to the white house. so here's the thing poppy and let's we got to be very serious about this for the american people to

understand what speaker mccarthy did yesterday, he cited with the maga wing of his conference, the extreme republican republican wing of the conference to put forth a legislation a blueprint that will devastate let's be very clear, devastate hardworking american families. and not only that they're doing that the mega house is doing that, while also putting at risk putting hostage are american economy so that they can take a hatchet, right hatchet to the programs that matter to everyday americans so that they can, they can make sure that they make ends meet. and so if every republican were to vote on this legislation on this blueprint, it would cut veterans medical services. it would cut meals on wheels. it would cut law enforcement. funding that is out there. it would cut education. that's what they're putting forth, and that's what the blueprint that they are presenting their values that they are presenting to the american people. so should we take that to me? no. none of

this is palatable to the white house. so here's what we're we have been very clear on this, poppy. we have not. we have not missed words as you know, as you heard from the president. he just now you just quoted him as you've heard from me. have you heard from others from this administration? we have been calling for the speaker mccarthy to put a bill on the floor that is going to avoid default. that's what we are asking for. we will have a conversation on on the budget on the 22% cuts that he wants to put on on veterans on education on cancer. research will have a separate conversation on that, but they need to not speaker mccarthy must not waste time. he's not. he must not do chicken play chicken if you will, with the full faith and credit of our nation to be clear this bill would do that. it would have wanted a fault. but as i understand it, none of this is something that the white house will agree to the position of not negotiating. right now, that has been the president's consistent position and pushing and agreeing only to a clear,

clean debt ceiling bill. will that remain his stance? even if we do get days away from a default? so poppy, i just want to make it again. very, very clear here. this is something that speaker mccarthy and other republicans joined democrats three times in the last administration. that's right before us right three times without conditions without any type of negotiations to deal with the debt ceiling so that we did not default. as a nation. this is not uncommon, and the president said this two days ago where speaker mccarthy is threatening here will be the first speaker. two threatened default in over 200 years, right ? this is not something that we should be doing, and so they have a constitutional duty. this is a constitutional duty that they have. to do. this is their jobs, and that's what we're asking them to do is make sure that they do not default. this is the full faith and credit of our nation we're talking about. it's all of us defaulting. it harms all of us. but just to be

clear that exactly i understand when we've been clear about that right, but it is also it is also republicans to come together with democrats to get this done . we've been very clear they've done it three times in the last administration three times. just so i'm going to take that to mean the positions. the president's position remains the same. i'm not negotiating. i okay. here is what i'm sorry to step on you a little bit of a delay. this is what jamie diamond who obviously has been in a lot of conversations with the administration lately, especially about the bank failures. this is what jamie diamond ceo of jpmorgan chase told me about negotiating over the debt ceiling just a few weeks ago. should the biden white house negotiate? i think one of the great lessons that last 20 years is that if you can't pass things with bipartisan support, you shouldn't pass it. i mean, yes, everyone should negotiate and do the right thing for the country and i don't want to get involved in the debate about the republicans who want to reduce the deficit. i kind of agree

with that the democrats who would like now to get rid of the debt ceiling crisis. so do you think he's right here? here's here's what i'll say. and we've been very clear about this. we are happy to talk about the budget. we saw what the mega republicans and speaker mark arthuis believin. we saw their value they want to do 22% cuts on veterans, right? 22% cuts on meals on wheels. if you think about education, law enforcement , that's what they put forward. and you know what? we'll take a look at that and we will have a conversation on the budget. but when again i'm going to be repetitive here because we've been very clear. we have not minced words when it comes to our the full full faith and credit. of our nation to avoid default. that is something that should be done without conditions. that is something that should not be negotiated on. that is something that has happened more than 60 times before. in the past. that is something that mccarthy and other republicans joined democrats and did three times three times under the last

administration. that's what should be done this time around. i think we all pray for two months away, possibly from a potential default that this can get sorted out. let me ask you about abortion because there's a new deadline. as you know. tomorrow night, the supreme court is going to decide on whether or not it's going to continue to allow medford christen the abortion pill to be broadly accessible to women across the country or not, or agree to limit that access if the supreme court affirms the lower court's decision on limiting access well, the white house changed its position, which has been the fda should not ignore the courts. so a couple of things here we are prepared for whatever decision that the supreme court makes. we are prepared for a long legal fight. if that is indeed necessary. here's what we will continue to do. we will continue to support the fda evidence based authority that they have on me for preston, and let's not forget a wider range of prescription drugs. let's not also forget that fda is independent experts and scientists. it is it is, it is

their duty and their approval that matters here. and so this is so much is at stake at this moment and what this administration has promised women millions of women across the country. americans across the country is that we will do everything that we can to fight for women's reproductive rights . that is the promise that we will make now i understand. i understand. people are frustrated, but to what we're seeing. what they're trying to do is set aside fda fda approval fda evidence evidence, approval and science based if we were to if we were to listen to them, and that would be set aside and also set aside a court decision that is also unprecedented. right so what they're trying to do is unprecedented. but if we were to set aside a court decision that would be unprecedented as well, don't ignore the quote. okay so we can't do that. but what we can promise is that we are going to fight. we are going to fight for women's reproductive rights is, which is what you've seen from this. from this white house

these past several months and let me just end on this because i'd like to see if there is a white house response to an irs supervisory special agent are reporting is now claiming to have information about alleged mishandling and political interference in the ongoing criminal probe of hunter. biden is seeking that person seeking whistleblower protection to share information with congress. according to this letter obtained by cnn, our sara murray just gave our viewers that reporting and i just wonder if the white house has a comment right now, as you know, we've been very clear to not comment on anything related to any type of investigation. so that is something that we have been very , very diligent about and referring any referring that to department of justice, green jump here. thank you for your time. it's nice to have you on cnn this morning. thank you so much for having me, poppy. thank you. don and house republicans just scored a win and their legal battle against the district attorney who is prosecuting donald trump. trump appointed federal judge ruled that one of manhattan d a. alvin brags former prosecutors must testify to the house to ensure

your committee today black suit and tried to block the spina but lost after the committee chairman jim jordans, argued the court has no authority to block it. cnn's care skin l joins me now. good morning to you the reason behind this ruling the judge, you know this was a spirited oral argument yesterday and she ran it's like a tight ship, but she really hammered brags team on a lot of these questions. so in her order, she denied their request to block the subpoena. you know, she said , there were a lot of politics at play here, politics on both sides and in our order. she actually leans into this on brag, she says. the court is further unmoved by braggs purported concern at the prospect of injecting partisan passions into a forum where they do not belong. by bringing this action braga's engaging in precisely the type of political theater he claims to fear. the judge says she's putting all of that aside the issue before her is the subpoena and whether congress has a valid legislative purpose. the house you. they had several legislative purposes here. she even got one of bragg's attorneys to concede during the hearing that they had that the house had a legislative purpose because they oversee

federal funds. funds that brags office acknowledged they had used as part of this investigation. $1000 5000 dollars. they're saying, you know, this was part of the investigation went to the trump organization and the trial last fall. but the judge, you know, finding here that it it doesn't matter, right? there is a legislative purpose and the judge, saying it is not her job to dictate how congress conducts its investigations, but she found that this was valid. she also was very critical of mark pomerantz, the attorney whose testimony is expected because she held up a book, he wrote multiple times saying, you know, he already put a lot of this out there. so why isn't it fair for congress asked these questions, and we just got some breaking news. the appeals court has granted pomerantz in the da's office request for a stay so he will not be appearing today. they set very fast schedule here. they want briefs from both sides do by saturday, and they directed the clerk of the court to set the oral arguments for the first available dates, so we are going to get a decision in this pretty quickly. but we do have a pause for now. pomerance won't be before congress today

briefs by saturday, but we don't know until they got battery. then they're going to set a date for our argument. have them come in and make this pitch interesting is that this has to do with an ongoing investigation. you know, evil. you've got the charges now, but an ongoing case against the former president, so wow. thank you, kara. appreciate it. lower prices, lower profits. what's the deal with tesla's bottom line? we're now hearing from elon musk. jalisco has alwayss been at the forefront of mexico's national culture, every iconic image you know about mexico comes from this state. give out on oil fingers in the oil that is next level mexican cooking. i'll tell you that life is good with video. wow oh, my god. i could eat five of those place beautiful longoria searching for mexico sunday at nine on cnn. andre what i love

wants to get a big fleet out there of electric vehicles. he wants to be the leader in e v market. everyone sees them and also the leader. as many as you can take as many orders as you can and be the leader there, but you're going to make a little bit less on each car, so that's what shareholders don't like. but for consumers, it means these prices have been going down last year in the first quarter, the average price of one of these cars was about $52,000. after all these price cuts he's put in this quarter. it's about 46,000. he's cut the model three the model. why the model s he just did the sixth round of price cuts for consumers. you're seeing these lower prices come in here, and you also have these tax credits treasury department has, you know has clarified all these rules. and so there's $7500 in tax credit for about 18 different car models for different car brands tesla for gm and volkswagen that are available right now, depending on how much money you make, but these are a bunch of cars that have all the right domestic sourcing requirements to get $7500 in money back on those

cars. so with the price cuts and the tax credit. there's a hope. but these are going to be more affordable. when people start to take them up more. they're still challenges with with the tv market, right? of course, i mean, you have charged, you know, people have range anxiety. poppy and i both have we live in the midwest. million times. i wanted to get in the car and go to iowa. you know, she wants to go to minnesota. you know, that's part of it. people are concerned about the cost of the car that might be coming down. we also know there's been some chaos around this. this tax credit this confusion. i'm going to tweet out guys, a list of all the cars currently that qualify for 7500. dollars back there of race of them on there. i talked to dan ives ives, who's a wedbush securities analyst this morning about what the strategy here is from tesla. and he said, ellen can hear mary right behind it. there's a big move to be the leader in e. v and so you could see more maybe price cuts for these tesla products in the future would come down a little

more think when so that they can become affordable to the average amount. does that hurt in the end, because now if you are a consumer, and you think it's going to get cheaper than do you wait little bit, and so then, then you kind of hurt yourself by teasing more price cuts. i don't know. we'll see. but this is the direction slowly with some bumps, but the direction that the u. s car market is heading in good point. nice work, christine. thank you very much. appreciate it this morning. actor jonathan majors is facing new allegations of abuse what those alleged victims and the actors attorneys are saying. that's strange. wifi service tickekets just rolled i, but i can't see any network issues. while the lights s on so it must be fine, saying the wifi sucks. but the light is on. you know, it doesn't have to be this way right? who said that junipers industry leading ai gives you insight into exactly what's wrong and how to fix it before anyone knows there's a problem removing all your blind spots. brilliant. who said that?
