see. listen thanks. thank you, and we'll be watching a little bit later on some other show. we call it the view. thank you. cnn this morning continues right now. i never once said never that the gun went off in my hand. automatic trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. you never pulled the trigger. no, no, no, no, no. i would never point a gun at the trigger at them. never morning, everyone it's friday. it's friday eight a.m. eight a. m it's friday eight am caitlin is off poppy and i are here. but this is when, if you people who are involved in any kind of litigation, they tell you trust the process. trust the process because things look bleak for a long time for alec baldwin, and now it seems to be coming around. we'll see. not quite over yet. but according to our

joey jackson, he says, do it close to being this is vindication, according talking about alec baldwin being adamant, as you just heard that he did not pull the tree. bigger and just hours from now. a prosecutor is set to drop charges against him for the deadly shooting on the rust movie set coming up the new evidence that came to light plus plus, we are now learning that the mass shooter who killed five workers at a bank in louisville apparently wanted to show how easy it was for a mentally ill person to buy an assault rifle in america. and the legal nightmare is not over from fox news. smartmatic is demanding an even bigger payout. dominions historic $787 million settlement for spreading election lies coming up smart maddox lawyer joins us live but let's begin with president biden. he was getting ready to officially announced he's running for reelection. sources tell cnn his team is planning to release a campaign style video announcement on tuesday. tuesday is the four year anniversary of

when biden entered the 2020 race . we're told the timing could change, but the decision to run along run again is a done deal. a new poll from the associated press. shows only 47% of democrats want biden to run again, though it's an improvement, a big one from january when that number was only 37% of democrats, and more than 80% of dems say they would either definitely or probably support biden in the general election. if he's a nominee will continue on with that story, and now we want to talk about new details this morning in the shooting at louisville, kentucky bank that was earlier this month. you will recall that the gunman was killed by police after fatally shooting five of his coworkers and leaving a rookie officer in critical condition. enforcement sources now say he left behind extensive notes, revealing part of his goal on that day, sending correspondent omar jimenez here with us now, omar, what are you learning? he was trying to prove some point here. yeah, that's what to law enforcement sources are telling cnn that there were extensive notes left, one of which was found on his body

after he was killed. in a shootout with police and these notes show that at least part of the motivation here was to show how easy it was in the united states for someone dealing with a serious mental illness to get an assault weapon, and we know this gun was purchased legally, about a week before the shooting actually unfolded. now we've reached out to the family attorney on this latest update. we haven't heard back, but the family has said they are testing him for cte, which sometimes sums could be, you know, loss of impulse control aggression that it's not just limited. two ct and all of its circling around the question on multiple fronts. people are trying to answer why , yeah, we have an update on the officer nicholas wilt. he was shot in the head. well for starters, he is in critical but stable condition, meaning that his vital signs are good, which is which is obviously a good thing. but earlier this week he was diagnosed with pneumonia while he's continuing to recover , so he's been transferred to a new hospital, a specialist to deal with that diagnosis, according to the louisville

metro police foundation, and he remains the only patient who was hospitalized and survived the shooting to still be in the hospital. so obviously everybody monitoring his condition pretty closely. thank you for the reporting very much. thanks a lot of tomorrow and just hours, prosecutors in new mexico are set to drop all charges against alec baldwin in the 2021 deadly rust film set shooting. a source familiar with the investigation tells cnn that prosecutors made the decision after new evidence showed somebody modified the gun , the source says. that leaves open the possibility that baldwin didn't pull the trigger something he has repeatedly claimed, including during an interview with our very own climb. allison joins us now. also with her is scott kasha. he is a freelance stunt coordinator. and armorer. we appreciate both of you joining us. good morning, chloe. i'm going to start with you. there's something that he has been claiming since the very beginning. tell us about this new evidence. so i want you to listen to what alec baldwin told

me and he also spoke to george stephanopoulos of abc and said the same thing maintaining just that. i never once said never that the gun went off in my hand automatically. i always said i pulled the hammer back. and i pulled it back as far as i could. i never took a gun and pointed at somebody and click the thing i let go of the hammer the gun and the gun goes off. let go of the hammer the gun, the gun goes off the moment. the decisive moment the gun went off. yeah that was the moment going on. it wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. well the trigger wasn't pulled. i didn't pull the trigger. pull the trigger. no, no, no, no, no. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. never so this is a fascinating development because let's go back to the fbi report, right? the fbi does a forensics forensics report made headlines everywhere. they said absolutely not the only way that this prop gun could have fired around

would be if someone pulled the trigger, right. but with this new information source telling me that the d a has that shows that the gun was modified, which could potentially mean that the fbi report could be wrong. wrong that the gun could have fired just like alex said. he pulled the hammer back and it went off . now. that doesn't answer the fact as to why was the gun modified? who modified the gun? how did live rounds get on set and the big question that i want to know is now that we are seeing the dismissal of charges pending further investigation by the new mexico d. a. could we see charges against anybody else ? such a good question? let's bring scott into this conversation as well. i mean, i didn't even know what a what is it called a hammer. it is, but this is what alec baldwin kept saying that he just pulled back the hammer and released. the hammer never pulled the trigger. is there any world in which a modified gun could discharge with just that being done?

absolutely so modern firearms have safeties built in, so if you pull the hammer back and release it, it won't fire. ah this gun is modified. so i don't i haven't looked at the gun and again. i'm not a gunsmith. i'm an armor and stunt coordinator and former police officer. you you in theory, old school guns. you could pull the hammer back a slight amount and then have it. strike. the firing pin strikes the primer and then the gun could discharge. so if this is in fact modified, i tend, you know, i don't know for sure. but his story is plausible in in my in my experience and expertise. how was the question is we've been asking all along, though, scott how does a hot gun get on a set? how does live? how do live rounds get into a gun on a movie set. so 22 equations here. first of all the live rounds. i always say they should never be live around and blanks on the same zip code, let alone the

same movie said yeah, it's my understanding that they the armor because they found fingerprints on live rounds of hers at the scene. uh she knew they were live rounds. it's not hard to tell if you know what you're doing. and she you know it supposedly had some experience. ah it's not hard. tell the difference between a live round in the black so production should have been shot shut down or anything with firearms should have been shut down immediately, and inventory should have been done every single round on that set now. uh there are practices that are used by certain armories, and i do not agree with it. they used unmodified weapons, which i blows my mind because it using a modified weapon prevent things like this from happening. these modified weapons, most of them you cannot even put a live round in. and if you did somehow get a live round into that chamber you pull the trigger on the gun basically blows up in your hand is what would happen. uh there's kind of a plate, which gives you kind of some back pressure. yeah

so this easily could have prevented and i don't know why alive gun with live gun or live round was used on on this set. it blows my mind. i also just want to point out something. you know this is such a momentous legal victory as of right now, although pending further investigation by alec baldwin's legal team, because i just want to point out the charges were brought were brought at the end of january and less than 2.5 months. you're seeing a dismissal this coming after the special prosecutor andrea riebe criticized him, saying that he was a big city big shot attorney and here he now got her to be removed from the case had the firearm enhancement drop. opt right, so reducing alex potential prison time from five years to 18 months. same for hannah gutierrez read the armorer, and now you're seeing this dismissal, so you know this is a big moment for them, and clearly they have been working for 18 months towards this in the prosecutor that the former prosecutor in an email saying, can i help you out right because

this would help with my reelection was running for house of representatives in the state of new mexico, and there is a law there that says you cannot be a special prosecutor and be in the house of representatives. you cannot hold both jobs, so she was disqualified. and then she called him a big shot, attorney. but you know what? clearly you might need a big shot, attorney right? acosta. thank you climb a loss. thank you, as always appreciate it. state education officials have voted to prohibit public schools from using or displaying indigenous team names, logos or mascots. schools must eliminate the imagery by the start of the 2024 2025 school year or risk penalties like losing state aid. this has gotten a lot of attention. polo sandoval is following all of it. this decision is getting mixed reaction across new york state what is at the core of it? why it's even dividing some communities to the national congress of american indians actually track some of the numbers, and they say that there are still about 50 school systems throughout new york state that use such mascots, in fact, spent some time in one of

them and long island yesterday, they're defending their so called chief mascot, saying that it celebrates the rich history of their community and saying that these new policies it's an overreach of the state. so expect the possible legal fight there. as for some of these native groups, they say they've been an illegal fight of their own going all the way back to 1950. for some, they are a source of school pride. for tribal nations. they're the reason behind a decades long battle. and this week a win new york state education officials voted unanimously to ban their public schools from using indigenous team names, logos and mascots. they have until the fall of 2024 to eliminate such imagery or risk losing state funding overdue. i mean, this latest push is just on the newest push, but we've had community members fighting for these changes over the last several decades late, is chairman of new york's shinnecock nation. chiefs warriors. indians joins the national congress of american

indians and calling such mascots inappropriate stereotypes that dehumanize native people of these mascots and logos or hollywood depictions. on what they think native americans should look like, um and other times. it's sensitive, uh, items and cultural references that we don't want paraded around on the football field ban is likely to affect schools throughout new york, prompting some pushback, long island's massapequa public schools out with this letter this week, defending their chief mascot as his story. and informing parents that they are investigating all options with legal counsel also on long island, patrick pizzarelli, who leads counties interscholastic sports, he predicts future funding issues of athletic departments are forced to pay for rebranding their programs, uniforms, even their sporting venues. i understand and i get it, okay? but you gotta give these districts of money. you can't just expect them to do it

. and maybe even more time. you know, right now by the end of 25 , i believe is supposed to at least be started. and i'm not sure it has to be done by then. but you know you got to help them because you don't want to hurt other kids to fix the problem. the head of the tunnel wanda city schools near buffalo, also bracing for the cost of compliance were district that's going to comply and we're going to do very good work working with our stakeholders are community again. most importantly, the students in determining what our next steps are. renaming won't be necessary for schools that bear the name of an indigenous tribe. educators are also still allowed to use indigenous imagery in their curriculum. we should mention there are potential exceptions here. the new regulations, you say that some schools can keep their mascots if they enter into an agreement with the tribe that's recognized by the federal government. poppy, don, we looked haven't identified any yet. but look, we just heard from chairman police just now, saying he understands that there are some school systems that may see this as respecting some of their culture some of their communities. but

he says, look, there are ways to do this attend some of the community events that they invite the public to be involved in some other programs there, so many ways. that doesn't necessarily mean parading some of their figures onto the football field. glad you covered this. thank you. thank you very much. polo i appreciate it well. this week, fox news paid a historic price for spreading lies about the 2020 election, and now a second company is demanding even more money than dominion $787 million settlement. the top lawyer from smart, maddox is going to join us live as a company pursues a multi billion dollar lawsuit against fox. because your lives are forever entwined with you over and over again. love and twined exclusively at k. meat noodles, part short hair. and

the number that made historic headlines this week. look at that. 787,000,500. the cost of airing a live that is the amount that fox news will pay dominion voting systems in a settlement that was struck on tuesday, but dominion isn't the only company suing fox for spreading lies related to the 2020 election. smartmatic another voting machine company, is suing fox and other defendants for 2.7 billion in a statement after the dominion settlement was announced. a lawyer for smartmatic said dominions litigation expose some of the misconduct and damage caused by fox's disinformation campaign, smartmatic will expose the rest . fox's response via statement was quote smart, maddox damages claim. are implausible claims are implausible, disconnected from reality and on its face intended to chill. first amendment freedoms. so joining

us now an attorney for smartmatic, erik connolly, thank you for joining us, mr connelly. we appreciate it. good morning. thank you for having me out before we have our conversation. i think it's important to hear some of what the folks at fox were saying about smartmatic. let's play it and then we'll talk. the dominion machines run the soft medic software or parts of the key code of it, and that is what allows them to manipulate the votes in any way the operators choose to manipulate them. software that they use is done by a company called smartmatic to company that was founded by chavez. and by chavez is to allies and still own on it. it's been used to cheat in elections in south america. so eric, i understand that you are you find your why are you laughing? all that is absolutely false. there's not a shred of truth to that. it's

tough. it's pretty crazy to actually just hear that. okay then. smartmatic has accused fox , um attorney rudy giuliani, sidney powell and host lou dobbs, maria bartiromo, jeanine pirro of intentionally lying about smartmatic. how do you prove that this was intentional? well you can start with the fact that that's inherently implausible. everything they just just could not have happened and they know it didn't happen. so we've been doing this for a long time, and there has not been one shred of evidence, not one shred of evidence. to support anything that they were publishing. that's it was all just lies, and they knew it was lies when it came out. do you believe the dominion settlement has made your case even stronger? i don't know if the dominion settlement is particularly relevant to where our cases going. dominion was a company that operated largely in north america, and i think the damages that they were recovering is reflective of some

of the damages that they suffered in the united states and in north america, as well as the reputational harm throughout the country. smartmatic is a global company. we operate in the united states, but we operate globally and we're actually the only company that can compete globally for election business everywhere. so the dominion damages and where you look at the dominion settlement. that's a starting point for analyzing kind of where the case can go, but our damages are on a global scale, not just limited to the united states. okay, so let's talk about that, because your lawsuit against fox and the other defendants substantially more than the amount the dominion has been seeking. i think, dominion. their valuation was about 80 million. i'm not exactly sure where your valuation is. i couldn't find but you've got the $250,000 per year in revenue to $250 billion. per year in revenue million, right, correct for you so why then? i apologize. so then why then? is smartmatic entitled to $2.7

billion if it's $250 million per year in revenue. a couple of things to keep in consideration. we are looking for recovery of the enterprise value lost. our company was worth over $3 billion before this disinformation campaign came along, and now we are obviously worked significantly less so the recovery we are looking for is to be reflective of the value of our company that we lost as a result of this disinformation. and whenever you're measuring these types of damages, you have to look at it at the total opportunities that we've lost and the opportunities that we lost and this is what we are experiencing day after day. its global we are suffering the consequences in asia were suffering the consequences in africa were suffering these consequences in south america and in europe, so when you take into consideration damages you look at the overall damage done to us globally. and then you look at how it's impacted our enterprise value, and that's where our experts are coming

out. specifically what was damaged globally household is it reputational? absolutely so smartmatic before this disinformation had a global reputation as being the election technology company that you go to if you want to secure, reliable and accurate voting process perfect audit trail. they processed over six billion votes, and they've never had a security issue once, not one time. now their reputation globally, the company that has regular elections. just imagine what that does. if you are an election technology company, your reputation is everything to you and that fundamental shift in the narrative of who smartmatic is has cost them contracts with committees. it has cost them the opportunity to even bid contracts with countries so this is essentially undermining what this family built for 20 years. i don't know how you can really put a dollar

amount on that. you said that you wouldn't accept anything less than what dominion got $787 million. why do you say that? the decision ultimately up to the families down in terms of what they want to do. my job is their lawyers to simply give them guidance and advice on this. i don't know how i could look at them and tell them that they should accept less when the damages that they suffer work, lobo and we're so significantly . we are in the dominion settlement with fox. there was no requirement for fox to make an apology nor a retraction. would you walk away from an offer from fox if it didn't include an on air retraction or apology, because as i understand you told my colleague jake tapper, you want a retraction? and you want an apology? would you walk away from an offer that didn't include those? whatever you think about the settlement, if that's where these kinds of cases go, you have to think about whether the company is going to be in this business for

the long term. smartmatic is in this business for the long term, their reputation has been injured. and if you don't have a retraction, if you don't have an apology, it is so much more difficult for them to get back to where they were. previously they don't want to exit the election business. this is what they have spent their lives doing. so i think when you're talking about a settlement if you go down that road i think you need to have something in there that will help them publicly get back the messaging that they wanted to be on. which is we are the company. you go to first secure, accurate and reliable voting. if there is a settlement, you would get to decide in some way. whatever traction or an apology would look like on air. what would that look like to you at this point? too soon for me to tell what that would look like. that would be part of any negotiations we do and work. we're not close to that. all right? erik connolly. thank you so much. i appreciate you joining us here on cnn. thank you very much. appreciate your time. thank you. really, really

interesting because it's in a settlement. they get to decide. some of the languages can say we would like you to say this on the air. we would like you to say it as this many times and that many times and they get to negotiate your questions, right? are you willing to walk away? walk away or this thing goes to trial? by the way it goes to trial, but i mean, they are their valuation, according to him, a multibillion dollar company that wasn't the case with dominion. so they stand to make more money if they actually go to court and when we also don't want to talk about this attorney what you had lost school graduate. um we need to talk about sullivan because times versus sullivan newyorktimes versus sullivan and what this means, because there is a um momentum. to move towards trying to get rid of sullivan to make it easier bar bar threshold of a lot of thoughts on that talk at brunch with our meant duelists tulips and our spring where political standoff over the nation's debt

limit is threatening to tank the economy, and now some democrats are urging president biden and negotiate as republicans demand huge spending cuts. wisconsin senator tammy baldwin here in studio. we're so glad she's joining us. we'll see if she agrees with those democrats next. sneak in. matting downey unstoppablee to my wash, i'll be smelling fresh all day long. still freshsh fresh. hm six tims longer lasting freshnesslus protection with downey unstoppable bill swift hereor flex tape. super strong waterproof tape. thank it instantly. patch bonds, ceiling repair. get flex tape in these fine retailers for avocado sustainability comes first. we handcraft are organic mattresses , pillows and bedding in our own organic certified facility in los angeles. we are team shares

i think you will, too. i can

feel the windsor. german in eastern ukraine. this is cnn. welcome. cnn this morning. president biden has said to announce his bid for a second term as soon as next week. some members of his own party are starting to question his handling of a major pressing issue. the standoff over raising the debt limit. some democrats are anxious over biden's refusal to negotiate with republicans. i think i think joe biden should be talking to kevin mccarthy, even if those conversations right now. prove nothing productive. my fear is that this gets pushed all the way to the last moment. and then if we're at the last moment and things fall apart, we go off we go off the cliff. talk communicate negotiating, so at least you at least they put something on the table said put it on the table. they put something on the table. that's joe manchin, democratic senator referring to house speaker kevin mccarthy's proposal this week to raise the

debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion in exchange for a host of domestic spending cuts and conservative political and policy priorities . the white house has for months, insisted it's not going to negotiate right. they only want to clean debt ceiling bill instead calling on mccarthy to raise the debt ceiling with no conditions. that is not good enough for joe manchin, who said of biden strategy right now, quote this signals a deficiency of leadership, and it must change. quite a quote from a fellow democrat. joining us now is another democrat, senator tammy baldwin of wisconsin. i should note she just announced her plans to run for re election in 2024. morning good morning person. great to join you. what do you think? do you agree with joe manson? basically an abdication of leadership. absolutely not. you know, there is a place in time. for negotiations. that's our annual budget and our annual appropriations process. um, we cannot afford to default. the default implications for people

paying their mortgages and you know they're on their retirements. it is almost cataclysmic if we were to default and even to have the brinksmanship that brings us to the verge of that is so dangerous for our economy. it has incredible manner ramifications, so i just played with speaker mccarthy. don't default. don't put our people to that right. they say it takes two to tango. it takes the fault. so are you pleading with the white house to do the same and sit down with mccarthy? because this bill would i know you don't like it. but it would avoid default. you know, i first of all, i'm not even sure that they have gathered that garnered the support, but there was a very clear path and i think democrats, including the president, have been clear since day one, and we can't afford to default. but there is a time and a place called the budget and the appropriations process for negotiating these incredibly important issues. i hear you,

but if nothing happens in two months we could default and this would avoid that. is it a starting place for the president to sit down? do you think the president should sit down with speaker mccarthy? because it's not just your mansion? who you heard there? cnn has new reporting overnight that it is several, if not more, democrats privately told cnn that the white house position and not budge. is unsustainable. i think it i think there's absolutely no room for a clean i resolution in the house of representatives to not default on our debts. americans asian americans pay their bills and our country needs to do the same. this is death that's already been incurred much of it under the previous presidential administration, and we pay our bills don't negotiate. that's not a negotiation to only stay clean. so much room for negotiation, including leverage for that negotiation after we take care of the we have an

annual budget process, an annual appropriations process and they have leverage in that there's no reason why we shouldn't sit down and resolve these big issues, but not while we put americans at risk of higher mortgage payments, jeopardizing people's retirement, security and all the other things that flow from a possible default. so it's not worth negotiating to avoid it. oh we will. we must negotiating now. defaulting yes. okay let's move on to the issue of abortion . you're the lead sponsor of a bill. it's called the women's health protection act of 2023. this is federal legislation to guarantee access to abortion everywhere in the country. the supreme court has a deadline and that's 11 59 pm tonight to consider whether it will uphold the lower court putting a lot of restrictions on medford, kristen medication, abortion or not. if the supreme court does not rule in your in the view of the

democrats want and if it upholds a lower court. what, actually can you do? so let us first of all look at what? that lower court did it reversed and approval of a medication. that was 23 years ago. the ruling was devoid of science. it appears clear to me that is part and parcel of a hard right effort to ban access to abortion nationwide following the reversal of roe versus wade, which is left this issue to the states, and, uh, we must pass the women's health protection act and we have to build towards that time. so that we are not either in a situation like we are in wisconsin, where our state has the oldest criminal abortion ban in the country. it was passed in 18 49, and you didn't hear me wrong. 18 49 a year after statehood that is the law of the land in wisconsin

right now, so on all fronts, including reversing this, uh, texas judge we have to work to regain the rights and freedoms. that have been lost where we have half of america with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers right now, bill i read read through it and you talk about um, but viability and you talk about sort of what stage at with you think there should be guarantees for abortion in in all states. some republican lawmakers. say the democrats almost encouraged late term abortions. this is something you addressed later term abortions in your bill, i want you to listen to what senator tim scott. it looks very likely to be officially running for president what he said on cbs last week. the first so far and what i've seen in the senate. aren't proposals but those from the left trying to figure out how to continue their campaign towards late term abortions. i wonder what you say

to that? i just it's a total falsehood. and i think about you know what's happening right now in the state of wisconsin, where i you know, a miscarriage has occurred and the standard course of care. i would be an abortion . but we are having women have to suffer through fever sepsis before they can get the care they need. in fact, in some places, it's like lawyers of in hospitals are practicing medicine, trying to figure out whether somebody is i. their life is actually in danger or not. to in order to permit the care to happen in our state. it is devastating where you have, you know, families with i wanted wanted babies, and there's a miscarriage. water breaks some

change as well. bill weird met up with some of the players in this trillion dollar race to remove carbon from the sea and sky, one that even uses artificial yep. poop listen. one pod can gobble up nutrients from the deep and poop them across hundreds of square miles of ocean surface supercharging the bottom of the food chain. within 3 to 4 days in that area, you might have the whole area covered with fighter plankton. and then within five days of that, that whole area becomes full of fish. and since the biggest can wait 28 tons when they die, they take massive amounts of carbon godzilla to the ocean depths and could be doing millions of dollars worth of carbon removal for free. we would say whaling has to stop completely, but you can catch as

much fish as you like. because we're going to return the oceans to billions of fish in this process. so cnn's chief climate correspondent, bill weir, joins us that was just saying to you is the thing i live in a old whaling, town harbors and all whaling town we're talking about. listen people. people don't care what you call it if it's artificial whale poop or whatever does it help in the fight against? it helps? this is sir david king. he was the uk's top science advisor for a decade. he runs the center for climate repair. cambridge. and i went there thinking they would have all these amazing ideas for new forms of energy and nuclear fusion, and their top ideas are artificial whale poop and spritzing yachts that will spray a fine mist in the air at the north pole and refreeze the arctic three months a year. those are the big ideas, but there's marine biomass regeneration. we lost the oceans fertilizer pumps when we killed 95% of the big baleen whales, they go down deep. they scoop up the nutrients they put them at

the surface. that's what gives the oceans life. the oceans give us breath and so thinking about how we tackle this trillion ton monster of excess carbon. we call carbon godzilla in the our people are coming at it from different ways. some are building machines. some want to use artificial whale poop, which is really volcanic ash, something we've gone too far. we've waited too long, and we need to spray sunscreen in the sky to turn down the sun for a couple of years and biased time, so we get into all these big radical ideas. petroleum, you know that. this is wales. that's right. fuel. that's it. we used to burn whales for light exactly . and a certain point, we thought maybe we should find something else. and then there's kerosene. and then there's gasoline. and now we're at that same moment, but the fossil fuel interests of awful powerful of these solutions really make up for anything if we don't radically change our behavior. no, that's it. none of these solutions matter, and i think a lot of environmentalists have hated the idea of carbon capture because the oil companies used it as a fig leaf to continue

drilling and jumping and doing business as usual. it needs both . but the latest reports are we have kick this can down the road so long that there is now a trillion tons of excess carbon that has to be pulled out of the sea and sky, and that's train cars and guys in hard hats and shipping ports devoted to this. it's building the entire petroleum industry in reverse in record time. that's the challenge right now, but there is this unbelievable wave of innovation out there, and we just touched on a few dozen ideas in this special came away with so much hoping and invigorated. good, good, little less worry. good wonder over worry for now till we're we cannot wait to see it. thank you and your team, you can watch bill's full report for the whole story this sunday eight p.m. eastern. right here on cnn, the oakland a's are vegas bounds that make them the vegas a snake at a very hinton has this morning's number haitians. since that's perfect. liberty mutual

leaving oakland was that they couldn't really get the financing for the stadium, right? i think sort of the last straw was federal subsidies that didn't come through, but public financing of mlb and nfl states 19.5 billion since 1990. it's very possible that las vegas will, in fact, put some money in and this is something that has certainly been climbing. so this is the inflation adjusted public money. for the media, new mlb or nfl team. look at this in the 20 twenties. look how much $750 million for the median stadium that's up from 2010 up from 2000 and well up from 1990 when it was 281 million, and i think the question is, do these new stadiums actually generate an economic boom for the cities? most studies say, uh, no way. but hey, they do help team money . team owners make a lot of money. but how does the public feel about having to put money paid for stadiums? they do not like it. they don't like it. 60% in the average poll or oppose.

just 26% favor. there's that 14% that don't know about the clear majority are opposed and keep in mind. even though i'm an avid sports fan. most folks aren't just 12% are most are either a casual fan at 43% or 17% they're not a fan. so the fact that i don't know why this why the city's keep doing this guys. that's a good question. that's a good question, right? somebody do a report on it like harry antin. very, thank you. thank you. we'll be right back. they keep doing it because they want the stadium. for people who are a little intense about hydratitn neutrogena hydro boostst lighghtweight, clinically proven 48 hour hydration for that healthy skin glow neutrogena for people with skin for you most brilliant smile cover.ice sme, brad. nice thanks. white
