8:00 pm
8:01 pm
i everyone, thank you for tuning in to this hour we bring you tomorrow's news tonight. we have our great lineup of reporters to share their scoops. we have melanie zanona, danny freeman, diane gallagher, and omar hernandez. great to have all of you back here tonight. tonight, new information about the chokehold incident in new york city subway that killed a 30 year old man. graphic video shows the 24-year-old suspect with his arm wrapped around jordan a least neck after one witness said that he had been, quote, acting erratically and ranting about being fed up and hungry. he was taken after this to a nearby hospital where he was
8:02 pm
pronounced dead. omar has been covering the story all day. so omar, where do things stand? there are new charges right for the suspect. so what is going to happen? now >> people are calling for charges, that is why we have seen some protests, that video has obviously circulated pretty widely and i think people see that chokehold happening for an extended amount of time and people even up to representative aoc is saying this was murder. on the charge side of things, manhattan says we are examining all the video footage that we can. we are looking at all the photos, we are talking to witnesses likely to try to build that case to try to offer charges when. as for the man who is doing the chokehold, i reached out to who we believe is him and when i identified myself as a reporter on the phone e. coli, i do not want to answer any of your questions and then click, before i can even asked you have a lawyer. and then from there, however
8:03 pm
sources have told cnn that he has spoken to police and he has been interviewed but he is released, he is not in any form of custody right now. but that is where things stand. >> we are going to get to the victims background and what we know about him in a moment. do we know anything about the suspect? we do not even know his name, but we know anything about his background? >> the suspect. he's a former marine, but that's. it >> 24-year-old former marine from the queens area, so from here in new york. outside of that we are not sure too much. this is a commuter on as a train. now, as for jordan, he was somebody known in various regards over the course of his lifetime what i mean by that he was known as a performer. there are videos of him as a michael jackson impersonator, as a dancer, but being really someone who is bringing light into people's eyes. you see him there, that's the video of him on the train. he was known and seen performing on the train
8:04 pm
multiple times. >> do you know what they are this is from? >> this is from a few years back, and that's important because in the years since this talking to friends he seemed to have a little bit of a decline. people that knew him, last seen in 2016, or we have not seen him since 2015. what we sort of have pieced together is that in that time he became, at points, somebody who is experiencing homelessness. and one of the friends who used to dance and perform with him, then saw him as he was experiencing homelessness. went as far as to offer him the shirt off of her own back because you want to help him so much. i want you to listen to what she said tonight about how he essentially may have gotten to this dark place in his life. >> i know that him losing his mother, he never got over that. i know that, from what he said, he did not have a strong father figure in his life.
8:05 pm
i know the only joy that he really found was interacting with other members of the community and performing. i know that i did try to encourage him to make sure that he got some things in order in terms of becoming educated and getting a diploma and that he was struggling with it, and struggling inside because there is a lot of pain inside that was unresolved. it makes a young person really unstable when they are not able to resolve and heal. >> those comments really create a convergence of factors, because in this train car when he first interacted with this train car he came in, he was as a witness described acting radically. he was yelling and in many ways was making people feel uncomfortable at the very least. the things he was saying was that he was fed up, he was hungry, he did not care if he went to jail. indicating that whatever his situation was was not a good one, but again, in that moment that witness said he was not
8:06 pm
attacking anyone. the question becomes, what were passengers interpreting about what he potentially could have done. >> do officials have any guidance about what you are supposed to do in a situation like that as a passenger? clearly this is a case of vigilantism gone, wrong but what are you supposed to do when you encounter something on the train and perceive it as either dangerous or uncomfortable situation? >> there are a lot of ways to answer that. for one, for people who live in new york and take the subway, i do often, it is not an uncommon thing to see. somebody comes onto your train car, they may be experiencing some sort of episode, you are not sure, and they're acting erotically. for anyone who's been on the subway car when that happens, most people are looking down at their phones trying not to make eye contact because they do not want to make the situation worse. some people might say see something, say something, go get people and make sure this person has help. the interesting here is that the witness that we spoke to said that there were no words exchanged between this guy who
8:07 pm
initiated the chokehold and jordan neely. so there is no conversation, are you okay, what is going on, stop that, please get out of here. there was no sort of -- >> right to a chokehold. >> as we understand from this witness that the witness did not hear any words. the one thing that he heard outside of the yelling was the thought of both of them go into the ground and that is when all of the sort of began. >> so was the other man apprehended, he was questioned but there has been no arrest. what happens next? it seems strange that there was no recourse whatsoever. there is a man who is dead. >> that is the weird thing about our legal system. it feels weird every time, so in this case as we understand, we are trying to build that case. but until they have it built and until he is charged economic really be held for an extended amount of time. and we saw this two in the kansas city area when that
8:08 pm
16-year-old ralph yarl was shot off of the doorstep, that man was questioned and released and then they filed charges, and then whose filed into custody. and then he was bailed out, and now he is awaiting trial. so we could very much see that same scenario happening here if he's actually charged. >> as the district attorney conveyed any sort of messaging that that might be possible? i know they are looking into it, but is this is something that is possible that we're looking at in the coming days? >> it is hard to know the exact timeline because, look, it's the new york subway system, it is new york city and there are cameras everywhere. there is a lot of technology to comb through and a lot of witnesses to track down. how did you feel in these moments. because how these passengers felt and what they perceived is going to make a big difference in the amount of force that maybe one person would've thought was necessary to end this situation. that said, this is different than if you are at a bar and you punch someone and they happen to die. that is a split second decision
8:09 pm
and those do warrant charges when that happens. this was more of an extended chokehold that happened over the course of minutes, and so that is likely going to be a big factor they are considering again as they waive any potential charges here. >> just hearing anything about this victim's background is heartbreaking and devastating and everybody wishes he had been able to get to the help that he needed. but he did also have run-ins with the law and some of them or for turnstile jumping, and minor things, but some of them or morph aggressive things. >> law enforcement told cnn that he has been arrested over 40 times. and some of them are minor things, some first turnstile jumping or theft. but assault even happening on the subway itself. in that moment it is unlikely any one on the train car knew any of that history, how could you? they perceived somebody coming in. so that may not factor into whether the person who did the
8:10 pm
chokehold is potentially charged, but obviously it is a symptom or at least shows a paper trail of where his life had been heading. talking to advocates in the community saying, how can someone be arrested 40 times? at some point you have to say, we need to be intervening in other ways because clearly what is happening here is not working and so many factors converge in that subway car when that happens and here we are talking about it. >> we have to leave it there, but thank you very much for reporting on all that omar. next, diana is covering the new abortion ban in north carolina, or restrictions we should say. why it will only take one single republican to overturn it. she is going to explain how that works, next. the journey isn't about where you're goingng, ♪

8:15 pm
day. the bill has exceptions in the case of rape and incest in 20, weeks and an exception for a life limiting anomaly for 24 weeks. the governor promises to veto this bill, but that veto is in jeopardy and cnn's dianne gallagher is here to fill us. and i, and you explained all of this to us last night and predicted that this is how it is going to go. what happens next? >> in, short his veto is in jeopardy but i will tell you that governor roy cooper who is a democrat and north carolina even though both chambers in the north carolina legislator have a supermajority's of republicans, as we are dealing with this sort of bipartisan, if you will, situation. we are going to see governor roy cooper veto this bill within the next ten days. he has ten days to act on it. he has already said i'm going to do it. what happens next will determine whether or not this bill goes into effect in the state of north carolina. the governor actually spoke about this at length talking about the bill, and then talking about what he is going to need to actually give his
8:16 pm
veto to stay. take a listen. >> all we need is one republican in either chamber to uphold the veto in order to stop this disastrous abortion ban. this is the kind of thing that happens when you let right-wing politicians in the exam room with women and their doctors. this bill is oppressive, it will cause clinics to close its doors, it is invasive, it requires doctors to turn over the ultrasound into the state and a lot of other personal information about women. this is wrong, i'm going to veto it, and we are going to work the next few days to make sure that we have a republican that will stand up and vote with us. >> so we talked about that last night, a these very slim margins. we are talking about one voter super majority that the republicans have their. so, the governor actually called out for republicans by name today. saying that we know that you
8:17 pm
campaigned on essentially keeping things as they are in north carolina when it comes to reproductive rights. >> that would mean keeping at 20 weeks? >> keeping it at 20 weeks, yes. at the time, north carolina was actually a little further back and there were some rollback that happened in north carolina because of lawsuits and things like that after the dobbs decision. but, people campaigned on this as republicans to win in more mixed districts, or even more blue districts in the case of a representative trisha -- who is a relic, him but at the time was a democrat. i talked to some democratic strategist today who do not believe that this is impossible, it is going to be difficult and we are basically going to see a full court press from the governor and democrats in north carolina putting the pressure on and making sure that voters know specifically what is in this bill. however, i talked to republican strategists who say that there is no way in that was happening. >> no way they are going to get -- >> they said that this is a steadfast republican group, the speaker of the house has
8:18 pm
control over his caucus, basically, and i will say that the democrats have found it a little bit more confident than they would, but again, i think they have to project that two right now. they have ten days to potentially get this done, essentially, to try to whip votes, if you will. we will see. >> it is so interesting to see state republicans leaning into abortion bans because lawmakers in congress, they could not run away from this issue fast enough. literally when i tried to ask them about abortion they will run away from me into oncoming traffic devoid the question. are you concerned about that in north carolina? >> it's when you say that because in talking to some of those republican strategists and elected republicans today, they said that they feel like the basis of this bill, talking about essentially a 12-week ban with exceptions, not going into the nitty-gritty of some of the other things of the bill keeps them safe. but, there was something really interesting today.
8:19 pm
one of the local npr affiliate in north carolina tried talking to the lieutenant governor of -- mark robinson, who is running for governor. he has extremely strong feelings on, abortion including saying that it should be outlawed altogether. he has been extremely inflammatory about abortion in the past and today he responded that he is tired about talking about abortion, and wants to talk about what happens after people are born. jobs, the economy, giving people good lives. i've never heard him avoid that topic before. so that could be because he is in campaign mode and it is not the best topic for him personally to discuss right now. but, it was a difference, and seeing it in reality was someone who is now actively a candidate for higher office, and hearing strategist talk about the fact that they feel like this bill is just enough for them to not have to run away from it, i will also point out that this bill passed in less than 48 hours. they were not exactly running around wearing the bill proudly. it was dropped in the middle of
8:20 pm
the night, in one day one chamber, and the next day in the next one. >> last night we talked a lot about that one particular republican who was a democrat not too long ago, who changed her stance on abortion as well. have we heard anything from her? of course she is going to be very important when it comes to the question of this veto, right? >> not at this point. i think there is going to be a lot of pressure again on some of those other three republicans as well, -- >> more than her? >> yes. two of them on the coasts, one in the charlotte area, but one of them is also that lawmaker we talked about yesterday who just did not vote. and so, there, i would anticipate that you are going to see a lot of pressure on that lawmaker, ted davis, there has been a lot of online campaigning to try to make sure that people sort of get their voices out there. after it passed the senate today, the clear the gallery because of course people who are there to watch began shouting shame, and abortion rights, and things like that.
8:21 pm
we have seen consistent protests in the 48 hours, basically, since the sort of popped up. i know from talking to sources that we are going to continue seeing that over the coming days. again, like may 16th is basically what we are going to be watching for, depending on how long the governor takes to do this a veto. but there is a lot happening behind the scenes and exactly what melanie said there. they want to make sure that republicans have to wear this. >> i should say that one thing that really strikes me about this is that it seems like, say that this goes through, and for many people across the country, especially women, has now had to be a real possibility, a real consideration. what do i plan to do if this actually happens. is that it feels like it will become another piecemeal, like in wisconsin, okay abortions are banned, they are back to 1849. so we know what people, do they go across the border to illinois. in north carolina, if this happened, what is the situation in the region, like what options would in theory people have if all of a sudden it went
8:22 pm
away? >> i want to address this to, as you mentioned wisconsin. i want to talk about the south i. but i do want to come back to wisconsin if we can, because of what happened today there. [laughter] >> but, so in the south, and i think that we usually have a graphic to kind of show what is going, on we have seen a lot of these bills passing throughout. and what we have seen in states as these have begun passing, and even you see south carolina right now which shows the access there, they did pass a six-week abortion ban later on their supreme court struck it down. after the dobbs ruling, in south carolina specifically, i talked about this last week when they were unable to pass that total ban on abortion at the point of consumption, they saw an astronomical increase in the number of out of state patients coming in because of restrictions in georgia and in georgia and tennessee and all
8:23 pm
over the region. look, north carolina and now south carolina because their law was struck down, have become essentially abortion access refuge. so, if this bill does go into effect and become law in north carolina, and if south carolina lawmakers can get their six-week ban figured out because there are some tweaks made to the law, the south will effectively not have any place that has passed 12 weeks without these exceptions. >> we're almost out of time, but give us the update on. wisconsin >> today in wisconsin, omar referenced there, we are talking about this 1849. bills won the dobbs ruling came down, basically it wisconsin reverted back to 1849. a bill that effectively bans all abortion. so the attorney general went in an argued today, they said that they have passed several laws since then, it's ridiculous that we've had to go back to a law from 1849 and they say that they found this little catch, basically. that it only applied to non
8:24 pm
consensual abortions. so the law does not apply to a consensual abortion and they argued that today in court. i think we have a soundbite, but i bet we do not have time for it right now. >> no? they say very quick. >> i've had heartbreaking conversations with doctors, for example, who talked about patients who come in who have either had to have made emergency decisions, the doctors have had, too if they are not sure they can provide the care their patients need. they have talked about patients who come in, even when they have healthy pregnancies, concerned about what might happen, if they cannot get the care that they need. i have heard from an ob/gyn student who talked about how she was not sure if she was going to practice in wisconsin because she could not get the training that she needed and provide comprehensive care. this is having harmful effects on women in wisconsin right now. >> it's interesting we always hear about the ripple effect
8:25 pm
that the dobbs decision would have and we are starting to see it. >> it piecemeal, nobody really knows what is going to happen next in each state that you live. and >> thank you very much for explaining all of that. meanwhile, white house officials meeting with top leaders from the tech industry to discuss artificial intelligence. there are rising concerns about the fast development of this technology and of course all of the dangers. melanie is going to bring us up to speed about that next. hey, man. you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance. so you only pay for what you need!

the ceos of four tech companies today on the risks and the pace of artificial intelligence. melanie, tell me that they have put a halt to all a i. >> for the good of the world. is that what this meeting? [laughter] >> unfortunately no. but this is the white house trying to show that it is at least thinking about how to confront the concerns and questions about the problems of artificial technology and artificial intelligence. but today there were no announcement about the regulations. it was more about talking to the ceos. they announced a new research initiative. it's going to be 100 and $40 million towards research centers, dedicated to a.i.. and he also said they're going to talk about how federal agencies are procuring and using a i. do >> they understand the time is of the essence here? that a.i. is galloping forward while they are trying to just put the saddle on the horse? i mean, i only save is based upon detect leaders who are
8:31 pm
trying to warn us and caution is about this thing getting out of the gate. >> even the godfather of a i quit google so he could talk about the concerns that he sees with the prevalence of a.i.. but this has been the story of our government is that they are behind the ball when it comes to regulating, even when you look at social media companies. they were so reluctant to regulate big tech, especially with republicans, because they are big business, anti regulation, and then we saw how it was used and how disinformation spread, and they were behind the ball and struggling to play catch-up. i think they're trying to learn lessons from that debate. but they have not put any regulations on the books. there is barely any other books right now. and we are already seeing this used in different ways, including in politics. last week the republican national committee put out a fake ad, and anti joe biden ad, in response to his official election launch, using these fake images to create this dystopian world under biden. i think we have a clip of that, if we can play it. >> this morning, china invades
8:32 pm
taiwan. financial markets are in free fall as 500 regional banks have shuttered their doors. >> border agents overrun by a surge of 80,000 illegals yesterday. >> close the city of transoms's go this morning, citing the escalating fentanyl crisis. >> who is in charge here? >> it feels like the train is coming off the tracks. >> that wasn't real. >> none of those were. real >> all fake. you could see a tiny little disclaimer [laughter] >> in the smallest little font right. there >> are fabulous daniel sullivan asked people, can you tell the difference. they. could but some couldn't. and listen, deceptive ads are nothing new in politics. but this is such a gray area. imagine if it had been a fake biden seeing our borders are open or something like that. or, on the flip side, the other concern is that real videos of something embarrassing that lawmakers doing come out and then they can say, that's a i, or that was generated. so there's a lot of risks and
8:33 pm
concerns with they are grappling with here. >> i feel like we have been in a honeymoon era with a.i.. we have been enjoying, like, i've been on tiktok watching all sorts of videos of, for example, they have one video where it's meant to be a bunch of people gaming together, but it's like when president obama was gaining with president trump, came in with president biden, and they're all saying ridiculous stuff, but it's in their voices. that's the fun part of it. we already had problems verifying what was on social media already in the two dimensional space before. and now it seems like we're gonna be entering this whole new era of verification. when i feel like we didn't even have a handle on trying to make sure people were seeing real things on social media before. >> i will say bad actors tend to adopt these type of technologies early, which is the other challenge here. but there are so many benefits to a.i. as well. it can increase access to health care, education, revolutionize our everyday lives.
8:34 pm
and so that is the challenge for the administration, for policymakers. it's how do we allow this technology to thrive and flourish without it endangering peoples lives? >> were they doing anything, or just like thinking about doing something? >> talking about the hero doing something. [laughter] have steps been taken already? >> bills have been introduced, 1 million bills introduced all the time. and back in 2020 a video came out of nancy pelosi, a fake -- and it spread a bunch of hearings. everyone was concerned. everyone said this was an issue. nothing has happened since then. in fact, the technology has only gotten more advanced, more sophisticated. and so that's kind of where we are. everyone is concerned but no one can seem to do anything about it. >> here's my one question. you said it before, in this part of the conversation that we have seen all of the congressional hearings where it seems like the lag time of the technology has been like a decade or years and years and years. meanwhile, chad gpt, it's like-like speed in the last six
8:35 pm
months. is there any sense that there is an urgency there? i think this is actually a little faster than maybe the lag of facebook or twitter even discussions about the power of -- >> i will say there is more of an appetite on capitol hill to take on big tech in a way we have not seen before. for different reasons, for both parties, but there is that general appetite there. but the industries that are impacted, and it's not just politics, it's music, it's journalism, et cetera, they have been gearing up and preparing for this. the music industry, for example, is very concerned about this. there is a tiktoker recently who made a fake song impersonating drake and the weekend. >> it's a good song [laughter] >> listen to this. ♪ ♪ ♪
8:36 pm
>> [laughter] >> sorry, all, right my bed. >> that's the fun part. that's the fun part, but there's concerns with, that is well. not fun for drake. not fun for these artist. questions about whether we would still value some of something by a break if we could make us on using him. so, yes there's fun aspects to this. it could be revolutionary, but there's a lot of risk associated as well. >> i hope our lawmakers move with alacrity which we have not seen yet. >> thanks very much for. that a >> big shake-up at the university of alabama. the head baseball coach fired amid a betting investigation. danny has that for us next.

8:42 pm
new york in california announcing the investigations into allegations of employment discrimination and a hostile work environment. thank goodness danny as. here he's gonna tell us what's next on both stories. let's not with. alabama >> unpaid picture for you, last friday april 28th baton rouge as a baseball game going between lsu and university of alabama. we game setting up the first game, three game series, alabama loses its 8 to 6, otherwise a normal game. however, what we know now is, around the same time on that same day someone in cincinnati was plaything bats on that again. we can go through, alabama lost all of the games of the course of the weekend, but during that weekend, and ultimately on monday, the ohio casino control commission, they got a flag from their integrity people, like a third party contract, or it's that something was wrong with some of these bets the replaced on friday. you need to look into this.
8:43 pm
>> what does that mean, something's with the bats? i can? retail >> good question, and this is an example we're learning a lot more about how this whole casino and casino sports gambling is regulated. but there are better couple of reports that basically said that there was a bet on a college baseball game that was very very large. if it's the super bowl, people are placing bets on the time. kentucky derby, people placing bets all over the place. >> lsu alabama football. >> but to place a large amount of money on a kind of random college baseball game at the end of the week, that is enough to potentially flag some regulators. so that money comes along, and is oh triple sea, this gaming commission in ohio, they put out the word. i think they had we have the statement. they say everyone, stop taking any bets, specifically in regard to alabama baseball. nothing to do with lsu. they singled out any beds with alabama baseball, no one can
8:44 pm
take baths. >> they knew something was. up >> they said something specific because the mystery in the sports world and very strange but later on in the week new jersey also pulled the plug. not taking any bets, today pennsylvania said we're not taking any bets specifically on alabama baseball. then we got the news today that you started with, that the head coach for the alabama baseball team, brad bohannon, he was fired this morning. as you said, right off the bat, there has been no official connection between these two things, but those sports watchers out there are saying something strange is happening, specifically with the alabama baseball team with gambling. and this morning we get this news that the coaches fired. >> thank you for explaining that sports story so that i could completely comprehend. it [laughter] >> we are laughing, by the way, when you're reading, because you said in this game of the tide versus the titans, it was like -- >> yeah, yeah, it was [laughter] >> technically it's right.
8:45 pm
>> it is correct. >> but it's not how you really get? >> i don't think i've ever said tied versus tigers. >> i would've said alabama against lsu. alabama versus lsu. >> tony revealed. sorry, folks. i read it fanatically, okay? that's what i'm doing. i'm really phonetically because i don't know what i'm saying in sports stories. but you made that understandable. now, do you want to explain what's happening in the nfl? >> absolutely. it has just been a big week for sports news and different controversies. the nfl, very different thing than happen today. today we've got a press release from the attorneys general the new york laetitia james in california robinhood that basically said they are announcing an investigation into the nfl over workplace harassment, citing numerous complaints from women in the organization. it's interesting because the focus of this investigation by these attorneys general, they're not individual teams. they're really tackling the nfl as an organization. kind of the whole operation
8:46 pm
versus specific front offices in teams. they are looking for violations specifically of federal and state pay equity laws and discrimination laws as well. meanwhile i should say the nfl came out with a statement as well today. they say, listen, the allegations are entirely inconsistent with the values that they have, the values the see right there. the officers are places where employees of all races, genders, thrive, and do not tolerate discrimination in any form. but like all the stories i seem to be running into, there's context here. last year, a big exposé by the new york times, interviewing a number of women who said that they were a number of instances of discrimination or harassment. the nfl also for a number of years, really since ray race in 2014, that video came out, they have said that they are promising to clean up certain acts and to make it a more inclusive place, but obviously these attorneys general don't think that it is right, now so
8:47 pm
they're subpoenaing the nfl. >> it's interesting that it's happening at the league level, because recently was a team level that the house oversight committee comes out with their report detailing multiple similar allegations going all the way up to the owner, dan snyder, and from someone looking from the outside in, they would say look, football is this guy's culture, abroad coach or. and i think for a long time, it's a team level, and clearly at the league level, there have tried to be concerted efforts to try and clean that up. whether that is actually happening, these reports are indicating, progress might be going a little slower than some might have hoped. >> are these only about those allegations from before, a year ago, years ago? can some of those allegations that report were from years before that. >> i think my understanding is that these attorneys general are focusing specifically on things that happened recently. we're not talking age in history.
8:48 pm
they're talking about as recently as 2021 when the report came out in 2021 last year. on your point, what i think these two attorneys general want to emphasize, and they said it as much, is, we are not afraid to pick on one of the most popular organizations as a whole in the country. i, mean it was 80 from california said no company is too big or popular to avoid being held responsible for their actions. and listen, these are two politically elected officers and law enforcement officers as well so i'm sure there is emphasis on that. democrats from each side of the country. but that's a message, that we get it. the nfl is, again, one of the most popular organizations out there. we're going to try to hold them to. task >> thank you for all. that i realize why i understand it. it's not really sports stories. [laughter] >> i wondered why i was understanding so. well >> we're all here. we're all of the coach together. >> thank you so much. up next, on the lookout. our reporters tell us what
