tv CNN Tonight CNN May 16, 2023 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT
8:00 pm
>> this show does require some stretching. hi, everyone, thanks for tuning into this hour, where we bring you tomorrow's news tonight we. have a great lineup of reporters, and here with me tonight jessica dean, omar m&m's, who is stretching for the occasion. >> along. so >> get it all out. and sara fischer. so, let its election day in several states. the results of some races are already trickling in. let's focus on pennsylvania. among the key races there, the democratic primary for mayor in philadelphia, and also a state house race that will likely decide if democrats maintain control. so, the gop primary, also we
8:01 pm
have for governor in kentucky, and trump endorsed one and ron desantis backed another, and biden just endorsed -- running for pennsylvania. danny, do we know who? won >> a bunch of races here. >> really cover all of them. >> i think the most recent was when we just guardian was that special election in pennsylvania? heather boyd, democrat, mps projecting that she has won that seat and that was consequently mentioned last night because that means the democrats will retain the new state house in pennsylvania. again, this is a last-minute everybody democrats. joe biden lead endorsement, the governor pennsylvania joshua pirro, also jumped into the race. now we know the democrat heather boyd has been the republican katie ford in that race. >> so that was a really close race? >> well, close is not necessarily the word i would use, but maybe 5000 votes in total in the race so far. it is about 34% 44 and last
8:02 pm
check but i think the expectation is that that will widen as the night goes. on >> less that you are also telling us about the philly mayoral race. >> the philly mayoral race is actually surprising and i think we have a vote we can pull up at this point. so stick with this, there was a tight race about 45 at the top. cheryl parker right, they're a former city council member, former state legislator. she is now in a sizable lead over her other opponents right there. and still there are outstanding votes in philadelphia, but she is someone who, the current mayor of philadelphia voted for. she is someone who knows politics in the city and outside, not necessarily the progressive fire brands like the person in three place right now, helen game. helen game had bernie sanders's rallying for her on the weekend and she, though, is not at the top level right now and i should also say that philadelphia has had 99 mayors in its long history. if one of these results hold, one of the top three, it'll be
8:03 pm
the first time that a woman will be the mayor of philadelphia. i should say democrats, they have a huge voters registration, this is the democratic primary but whoever wins tonight likely will win in november. >> now kentucky. >> moving to kentucky now, down to the south, that race cnn has called as well. the one we're all looking at is the gop primary for governor. daniel cameron, the attorney general, the republican attorney general right there. we declared him the winner a while ago. he's running against kelly kraft, who was the former ambassador to the eu when for president trump. now why is this race particularly interesting, especially with the call so early? this was, as we've been talking about, i kind of the first proxy fight of the republican presidential nominating process on the republican side. because trump endorsed cameron and desantis endorsed craft. there was a lot of hay, we have
8:04 pm
to potentially front runners in this republican presidential nomination, getting behind two candidates in -- kentucky and now we saw that the trump backed candidate won. the trump pack, they put out a statement right away. i think we have, it as well, basically gloating specifically over desantis. president trump is the leader of the republican party, the results in kentucky's gubernatorial primary, reaffirmed, that republican voters stand with president trump, not rhonda sanders. >> not mentioning the candidate. they're giving way to the point on that one. so yeah, interesting races all around. >> jessica, were we talking last night about how many people have gone through the pennsylvania reporting? >> yes. >> gauntlet. and you're one of. them >> from 2013 to 2018 i was a reporter and anchor their. >> in philly? >> in philadelphia. and lived in philadelphia. and then also went back for joe biden's campaign, which will
8:05 pm
remember was pennsylvania, then delaware, and most recently the senate race with john fetterman and dr. oz. >> and it's a particular place, with a particular personality. and accent. >> well, we were all doing our best philly accent. it takes a second to get it. being from arkansas originally took me many seconds to get it. but it does. and what's interesting about pennsylvania and why it remain such as we swing state is because you have pittsburgh, philadelphia on the east and west poles there, and then in the middle it's very rural and conservative overall. and so it really does cut an interesting, it really is an interesting mix of people, and it is quite a bellwether for presidential races and also that senate race was obviously a big deal. >> and now it is one of the few states that has a truly split level of state government. you have a democratic governor right now, a democratic house now that was just maintain. >> as of a minute ago.
8:06 pm
>> but still a strong state senate. a lot of swinging forces still at play. >> one of those things in kentucky you have some of that government. you have a democratic governor in any beshear now you have daniel cameron who has one's republican nomination. i'm just curious, how this feels like a very high profile fight, wear just a few weeks ago, when the mass shooting happened in louisville, the governor was very outspoken about how he feels guns should be handled in a state that has notoriously the least restrictive gun laws in the country. and with daniel cameron i think my mind goes to the criticism he got around the handling of the breonna taylor case. how obviously not all the officers involved were charged, but there was criticism about he as attorney general handled the grand jury proceedings. so it feels like in some states you have, in philadelphia, democratic primary, they're going to win, but in kentucky feels like this actually is
8:07 pm
going to be a big fight in that state. >> you brought up breonna taylor in that case. that has already come up in the republican primary, where cameron was attacked from the right by kraft. she was saying that david cameron was allowing the biden ministration to come in and meddle with kentucky affairs. he took a lot of umbrage against that. but it's already coming up in the republican primary that that it will come up likely in the general as well. >> a question for jessica, because i know you're covering so many things biden, white house. >> we do it. all >> what comes to pennsylvania, what is biden's plan for that? obviously he needs to start thinking about how he's gonna win that state in 2024. fetterman was a good sign, but it was so close that i don't think it's enough for him to feel quite comfortable yet. >> and remember it was pennsylvania put him over the edge and made him president. and look, philadelphia, that was a point of pride for that city for so many people in that city. and he is, of course, from
8:08 pm
scranton, where he was born, and has a lot of strong ties to pennsylvania, but i think you make a great point. what we saw in 2020 is what we will likely see in 2024, which is like he went over and over again to pennsylvania. and remember we were all on the campaign trail going oh, pennsylvania again but -- but you know there are 49 other states. >> how many -- can you have? >> it is so critical and it's going to be critical once again, and i just follow those out there who will be following the presidential race in 2024, get ready for a pennsylvania. >> you too. >> let's quickly talk about what happened in north carolina tonight. so very critical abortion decision. >> yeah. another vote, but not an election, necessarily. we were talking about this on the show for a number of weeks now. basically the north carolina state house decided to override
8:09 pm
that veto that just happen over the weekend with governor roy cooper, that basically says there will be a 12-week abortion ban, with some other, with some minor exceptions. and it was quite a scene. diane gallagher, our correspondent there, she saw some of the reaction that came right after that vote was taken. take a listen. >> the house is over in the governor's veto in the bill becomes law, notwithstanding the governor's objections. >> [crowd chanting] >> so basically abortion is now banned after 12 weeks, but there are some exceptions and as you can, see the people who have packed the chamber there are not pleased. >> one of the things important, specifically about this particular decision is at north carolina, i just a week and a half, ago is one of the states
8:10 pm
is one of the states that was a lot more access for, a lot of stuff in the south, so it's good to be even more challenging to access abortion, not just in north carolina but across the south at this time. >> understood. thank you all very much for all of those updates. okay, meanwhile, the clock is still ticking. we talk about this a lot, and nothing has changed. the country could default on our debt as soon as june 1st. there was a big meeting about today at the white house. jessica's got the scoop on what happens, next. i can be free to do the things that i love to do. i hope whehen i retire someday, they say, that guy made this place a special place to come to school and gave as much as he could to help the community.

with cpap for their sleep apnea. but stephanie got inspire, an implanted device that works inside the body. there's no reason to keep struggling. inspire. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. >> president biden knew what kevin mccarthy today about how to avoid a used to fault. they have now agreed on who on their individual teams will negotiate with each other. jessica has been working on this all day. tell us about the meeting.
8:15 pm
who has the upperhand at this hour? >> all eyes on this meeting. all four members of leadership from congress and president biden. and i think a couple of things that were key points to come away with, number one as you mentioned. they have narrowed down who is negotiating. biden some democrats pushing back on the word negotiating. the fact, as they're having discussions. >> they just do not want to use that word. the whole time, they have said we will not negotiate over the debt ceiling. and now, they are negotiating to get a deal to ultimately get this done. so we now know that it is steve for chevy and joanna young from the administration. garret graves and kevin mccarthy's staff members. these are people, this signals that this is getting serious. that is good for the american people. and these are people that hopefully can get a deal done. and they will get in a room and continue to talk and continue to trade papers. the other thing that was important today, we were told
8:16 pm
by the democrats that came out, that everyone in the meeting this time agreed to take to fall off of the table. if you remember, last time they met, kevin mccarthy would not say that specifically. when he asked him, when he would evade that question. now they're saying that everybody is in agreement on that. so it kind of gets us a little bit one step forward let's say. >> how funny is that negotiate is a bad word? the american people want these two to negotiate. that is what they want. >> that's the whole point of being in congress. we are at this story, every year we had this deadline. we, panic we hit it, it's fine and we pass a budget. we don't go over the debt ceiling. but then this year, if there's a little bit different. this year it feels like we might actually have a problem. >> right, we are talking about this when we are getting ready to come out here. this is different. i mentioned this last night too. we are precariously close to this deadline. and it is often that we are
8:17 pm
there on capitol hill. talking to everybody about deadlines are approaching. can they get this done. this is very serious to the extent that we have never in the history of our country defaulted on our debt. and that if we were to do, so the financial calamity that it would not only mean for our country, but for the global economy is very serious. >> take us into those because we are not there. what is the move. when -- why is it different? >> it feels like there is an acceptance that this time is different. a, we are so close to the deadline. b, as the years have passed, in this for years was not a thing. they would just raise the debt ceiling. remember, this is money that has already been spent. it's not like they are authorizing new spending and paying our bills. they would just raise it. and then, when president obama was in office, it started to become more politicized. that has only grown over time. so here we are now where you have some members of the house gop who are adamantly against
8:18 pm
ever raising, it no matter what, they don't care. and that is different. we really have not seen a lot of that. remember, with a four vote margin, with house republicans, those votes really matter. and those opinions matter. >> one thing that strikes me, just talking about capitol hill stuff. when you are negotiating over budget, it goes to reconciliation last-minute or whatever it might be, you kind of have right up until the deadline. and you see reporters like yourselves and others who are in the capital, all hours of the night, ordering pizza, just trying to stay up with what is going on. with this one, just being close to the deadline could already have affects. we've seen that. >> totally. absolutely, in 2011 we got close to. it moody's downgrades are cred, it was tumultuous for the markets, tumultuous for the economy. and i don't have to tell anybody sitting at home, everybody is very aware. the economy is what it is, we are dealing with inflation, they are trying to find a soft landing.
8:19 pm
we have been concerned about a recession for months now. and we have been able to evade that so far. and now you are talking about throwing in the most giant wrench that we could possibly find. >> let's listen to what former treasury secretary larry summers is saying about where we are. >> during the period when the default was being debated, in 2011, the stock market went down by a little more than 15%. today, that would be in the range of six trillion dollars that is $20,000 for every american. in wealth for a time would be destroyed. >> that drive from your point. >> i don't have to say any more clearly than that. you think about people who are on fixed income, and we talk about not being able to potentially pay military members, not pay social
8:20 pm
security benefits. this really, the ripple effects are giant. >> today also, did i see that president biden's trip was going to be cut short a little bit because of these? >> good, point we should talk about that because he is traveling abroad. he is going to the g7 in japan. but we learn today, to your point danny that there was back and forth on what he continued on. he had planned to go to new guinea and australia and ended up, they will just postpone all of that and do it another time. because again, it is just a very condensed timeframe. that we are working with here. >> that seems to me like oh, this is serious now, the troops are getting shorter. >> that is the real business now. >> people want to know, since the clock is ticking. are you going to adjust anything in your schedule, it sounds like now they finally are. >> now we watch and we see, can they get to a deal? >> we have breaking news to get to right. now because cnn can project that former philadelphia city council member cherelle parker will be the democratic nominee
8:21 pm
for the mayor of the city. we moments ago had seen where she was ahead of her competitors. and now we can project that she will win. she was heavily favored against republican -- will be heavily favored against republican david oh. who was unopposed in his primary in november's general election. if parker wins, she will be the first woman to serve as mayor of philadelphia. there you have it. more results coming in on all of this and we will bring it to you as they do. meanwhile, two adults charged in michigan after a seven year old brings a gun to school. this is a new story. we keep hearing about how somehow kids are getting their hands on weapons. omar has reporting on the story and how to school districts are now cracking down on something kids like to bring to school. we will explain.

>> two adults, charged after a seven year old brings a gun to school in his backpack in grand rapids michigan. the mother, henry wilson, now facing a fourth degree child abuse charge and her fiancée charged with one count of felony possession of a firearm. now, grand rapids public schools have banned students from bringing backpacks to school. omar jimenez is reporting on this story. i am not sure the backpack was the problem. >> look, the backpack is actually i think a attempted solution in a situation where i
8:27 pm
think administrators and others feel like they don't have a lot of solutions to give. look, we have seen over 200 mass shootings across this country. some of them have happened in schools. and this particular case, you have got a seven year old who brings a gun, unloaded to school. but a gun nonetheless. and those charges that were announced today stem from this 70 will bring a gun to school on may 3rd. and then a week later, on may 10th, in the same grand rapids school district, a third grader brings a loaded gun to school in their backpack. i want you to take a listen to the grand rapids police chief as he was trying to process today what was actually happening and the situation that he has never seen before. >> i have about 23 years of police experience and i will say that this is the first time and now the second time i have ever encountered a child that small having a gun in school. it was new to me and to see it twice in a one-week period is very alarming. >> so far this year, in just that school district, this is
8:28 pm
now the fourth gun that they have confiscated. so that i think is part of what made them to okay, until we figure out what is going on, we are just going to ban backpacks altogether. which again sounds extreme and crazy to a lot of people looking from the outside in, but it truly i think is coming from a place of desperation of we have got to figure out at least something we can control. >> what do we know about this seven year old mother and fiancée? any criminal background, anything like that? ? >> the fiancée has been charged for felony possession of a firearm. there is clearly a history there. they are also looking into the origins of this particular weapon as well. and when we talk about the backpack band specifically, it is not just this grand rapids area dealing with this, if you want to just stay in michigan, outside of detroit, the flint school district has also banned backpacks because they have said that they have been monitoring an increase in threats of that arena as well.
8:29 pm
and just to illustrate the difficulty the school districts are wrestling with and making decisions. i want to read a little bit of what the grand rapids school districts has said. i was the superintendent there saying that this is not a decision we have taken lightly. we know that this pulleys is a significant inconvenience for families. i am more frustrated that a decision like this is necessary. but we must put safety first. and that is what this decision is about. and again, it is that feeling that we did not have any other choice that we are now taking this step. that may 15 years ago might have seemed like something out of an absolute sci-fi movie. >> it seems extreme right? >> it is extreme. but we are seeing the parent and fiancée being held accountable for. this we've talked about the other michigan case. in that case it was a fatal school shooting. being held accountable. and it makes you wonder if that
8:30 pm
is what, if we are going to continue to see that sort of trend. especially with kids seven years old. so young. >> if you are seven years old, why wouldn't you charge the parents. seven years is not going out to buy a gun. making rational decisions. one >> in michigan, the prosecutor said today, they don't even have a mechanism to charge somebody under ten years old in the situation. because of what you are saying. a seven year old would not have the forethought to intentionally do this and understand what it means. and the police chief even said look, if i was a seven or eight-year-old kid and i saw a gun lying around my house, i would think it is cool in want to play with it. and would want to take it into my friends. so that seems to be part of the issue here. but to your point, we have started to see a lot of districts across the country, please jurisdictions cracking down on parents and try to hold some one accountable for what is happening. we look at this, we are talking about the one in grand rapids.
8:31 pm
but in newport virginia, you remember the six-year-old student who shot his teacher. the mother of that six-year-old was charged and then in oxford michigan, this was out of a school shooting in november 2021. the parents were charged or it has been agreed to stand trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. partly tied to allegations of negligence from the gun. but also ignoring warning signs leading up to this. and that case is the one that could actually have a real precedent here. because we are not just talking about like in the seven year old case and others of oh, you just left your gun lying about nothing happened. but in this one, there were warning signs that were allegedly ignored and for parents that are out there, parents of the worst nightmare of potentially being a parent to a potential mass shooter, it does create this new potential arena of criminal liability depending on what happens with that case out of oxford. >> you mentioned this was
8:32 pm
happening not just in grand rapids but in other places, flint, michigan. is this a problem happens to exist in a certain part of the country more than others? i think about my home state of new jersey. obviously we have gun violence, but it tends to be a pretty split state, mostly blue. not a heavily armed state. is this something that is particular to michigan and certain places or no? >> not particular to michigan. i think going back to 2015, we have seen instances where backpacks have been banned in places from new york state to others. in certain districts. so it has definitely happened before. but i think in the last few years in particular, it really has ramped up. but when you talk about the debate of what you do around school safety, people talk about hardening schools with exits and school security guards, all the way up to arming teachers. all of these solutions, these potential solutions are thrown out there. and this seems to fit into that debate as we have seen that rise in mass shootings.
8:33 pm
but i should also mention a really important point is that, with all of these mass shootings and in particular mass killings we see, the vast majority of mass killings happen in private settings. in the home. not so much, even though they get the most attention, in public settings. so when you talk about the handling of weapons around a home, these are all cases that touch that. and clearly there is data to back up that the handling of weapons that holmes has accounted for a large number of gun violence in this country. >> it is unconscionable honestly not to have safe storage. if you are going to be responsible gun owner, you must have safe storage. if you have, kids a horrible story. we just finding out in texas about a four year old, toddler, found the families or parents gun and shot his or her one year old sibling. one year old. >> this was outside houston and
8:34 pm
it is another classic example of what we are talking about. as the grand rapids police chief alluded to. if you are a young kid. you see a gun lying about. at that age, you cannot rely on somebody to fully understand the magnitude and capability of the gun. somebody sees it, plays around with it and this four-year-old ends up shooting their one year old sibling. thankfully the one year old is expected to be okay. but i can't imagine a few inches otherwise and we'd be talking about a different story here. even more of a nightmare for these parents. but again, something that is very prevalent and we are seeing it play out in the form of backpack bands. >> thank you very much for that reporting. >> meanwhile, a blunt warning from the top guy at chatgpt. he shares his worst fear about artificial intelligence. sara is going to explain it next.

>> senate hearing today on the dangers of artificial intelligence. as tech industry leaders, including elon musk call for a.i. laps to slow down their development. citing what they say are profound risks to society and humanity. the ceo of openai, the company behind chatgpt told senators what he fears will happen. >> my worst fears are that we cause's significant harm to the world. i think that could happen in a lot of different ways. it is why we started the company.
8:40 pm
a big part of why i'm here today and what we've been here in the past. i think that if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. and we want to be vocal about that. we want to work with the government to prevent that from happening. but we try to be very clear eyed about what the downside cases. and the work we have to do to mitigate that. >> horrifying. >> so sobering. because when the ceo of the company that stands to make money, to profit is saying pump the brakes. are they listening? are lawmakers listening? >> they are definitely listening. they are taking a hearing. one thing i want to stress, in the social media era, politicians were quick to embrace social media technology, it is good for their campaigns, reaching out to constituents. took a decade for politicians to pay attention to people sounding the alarms about harms of social media. so the fact that this was ruled out publicly less than a year
8:41 pm
ago and we already have the ceo of openai on capitol hill to testify. to me it means they are taking more seriously. are we going to see action taken? that is the question. i think it is unusual to see a huge group of lawmakers come to consensus around any issue. but especially in big tech. the problem is, we do not have a good track record of passing legislation around tech. we don't even have a national privacy law in this country. which is in saying that we can't even get that passed. we can't get political ads transparency past, algorithm bias laws passed. so if you are asking me, is anything to get done here, the answer is probably no in the short term. though i'm happy they're taking it serious. >> i think it is chilling. >> it is so chilling. i'm kind of in denial about it. like, don't worry. but listen to that, and it really just does so bear you up to the reality. being on capitol hill, especially over on the senate, it is made up of much older
8:42 pm
members of society. and i have a hard time sometimes understanding a. i do not claim to be technological savvy individual. i have a hard time understanding it. do you get the sense here that these lawmakers and their staff members even more so are really getting the gravity of this? >> that's the thing, i don't think they understand the technology itself. heck, i cover technology and it is hard for me to understand the technology itself. you talk to the ceos of these companies, they don't know how these algorithms are truly working. but i will tell, you they do understand the gravity and take this very seriously. i want you to understand, something richard blumenthal said. this is an example of a senator who came to this hearing with open eyes, explaining how important this, we'll take a listen. >> now, for some introductory remarks. >> too often we have seen what happens when technology outpaces regulation. the unbridled exploitation of
8:43 pm
personal data, the proliferation of difference formation. so the remarks were written by chatgpt when i was asked how i would open this hearing. what reverberated in my mind is, what if i had asked it and what if it had provided an endorsement of ukraine surrendering or vladimir putin's leadership. that would have been really frightening. >> wow. >> that is wild. >> to the point before, he is actually using the technology. so he came prepared here. the question becomes, what is going to happen next? are we actually going to do anything about it? i think it was eye-opening about this hearing, we had some solutions proposed. that is where for congress, especially on tech. >> it's a good question. i think if you were controversial. some seemed much more open to everybody. for example, some folks are saying could we create a safety
8:44 pm
review board. in which before we deploy mass algorithms for a.i. programs, they have to get reviewed and tested. one of the things gary marcus, a former professor who is sort of the big thought leader in-app proposed, creating something similar to the fda. before we throw it a drug for the public to consume, we tested. another thing, maybe we should be funding a constitution for a i. quoting morals, values and rules for how we create different levels of algorithm and tech. one thing i thought simone, who again is the ceo of all openai proposing that was really smart was to create a regulatory agency to solve this. again, going back to the fda example. other parts of the world by the way, they do have internet agencies. in the uk they have off calm. regulating communications, including online communications. australia has made proposals like this. we are far from that in the u.s.. so well i think some of the solutions proposed are interesting, like i, said i think we are far away from implementing them. >> sarah, can i ask you, if you
8:45 pm
like to me like the cat is already kind of out of the bag. i guess this happens all the time when evolving social media. they are out there, people realize ogilvy, they may be terrify and then only after it is already used by millions of people do regulators maybe try to step in. >> that is always the trend with technology. he talked about social media, the example social media giants love to give his cars. it took decades for us to implement laws around safe seatbelts, same thing with cigarettes, look at decades around walls around advertising, et cetera. what is different here to your point, when this ruled out, there was 100 million people who instantly signed up for. we've never seen adoption like that for consumer tech in my lifetime for sure. so to your point, the speed at which this is being deployed is so fast that i think regulars and technologists, like there is a reason that same altman is coming out here and complaining and sounding the alarm. it's because of this adoption.
8:46 pm
the other one super notable and vocal on this is the almost. don't musk, if remember cofounded this company. he walked away from him in part because he felt as though the technology was moving in innovating much faster than we could potentially control. now elon musk, somebody who is setting rockets up into space. for him to be saying we need to sound the alarm and pump the brakes is crazy. listen to what he had to say tonight on cnbc. >> i think it is very much a double edged sword. there is a strong probability that it will make life much better. and that we will have an age of abundance. and there is some chance that it goes wrong. and destroy humanity. hopefully that chance is small. but it is not zero. >> it could destroy humanity. we just talk about some point, will good things does this thing to do. because i'm sure there's a lot of. it >> i was going to say, with that metaphor of cars and
8:47 pm
cigarettes. so many people died before there were regulations with cars. so many people died because of a lack of regulations around cigarettes. so in this period, you wonder what damage has been done before these things are actually being put in place. to jessica's point, there are some uses for this to actually enhance our lives. so how do you strike a balance? between okay, we know that this could drive us off a cliff, but we are driving, we could be driving. >> you are right. it's part of an enjoyment. it can enhance our lives. >> that's not good enough. >> i guess not. the big debate is jobs. this is where we are trying to weigh the a benefit versus the negative. one of the arguments for things like chatgpt is you are going to be able to displace a lot of very labor intensive jobs and
8:48 pm
give opportunities to people to do much more exciting work. for example, instead of working every day copy-pasting an excel spreadsheet, your program is about to do, and you can do a lot more to life. the challenge though, and a lot of lawmakers and the professor put this out today, how can you guarantee that we will actually be able to make up for the number of jobs lost? this is the things i think most americans will be paying attention to. once we start to see more jobs being eliminated due to artificial intelligence, that is when i think people are going to start to call members of congress. and by the way, sin altman had made comments about this. he was not afraid to say what the risks were even though obviously this is his full-time job and his life's passion. >> really interesting to, thank you for explaining all that to us and scaring the living daylights out of me. up next, on the lookout, reporters telling us which stories they are looking for on the horizon. w patients are more than their disease. that's why, at novo nordisk, we've spent a hundred years developing treatments to help unlock humanity's full potential. these are the greatsts:

last segment, i am looking ahead to the other repercussions of this elon musk interview. went on cnbc earlier tonight. also was on twitter, saying a lot of things about a lot of different topics. including he was pressed about basically some of the controversial things that he tweets sometimes and he basically said, i will say what i want. and the consequences of that is losing money, so be it. also talked about the morality of working from home. i think we will be talking about that interview for a little while longer. >> interesting. omar? >> i'm looking for the governor minnesota to sign a bill that was just passed in the legislature there that essentially limits no knock warrants to situations where essentially them announcing themselves would create immediate threats of death or injury. and that is important. because a little over a year ago, 22-year-old amir locke was shot and killed by the execution of a no knock warrant. so over this past year, people have been calling for the limiting of these uses. and while it is not exactly what protesters have been
