southern new hampshire university has changed my life. and it can change yours too. ♪ - [announcer] visit snhu.edu. florida governor ron desantis is hours from announcing his run from the white house on twitter. a source says he is going to ditch his hometown rollout plan we'll tell you how his rivals are reacting and where the gop candidates stand in a new cnn poll. meantime, as the special counsel appears to be in the final stretch of his investigation into donald trump's handling of classified documents, attorneys for the former president want to speak to the nation's top law enforcer, attorney general merrick garland. we have details on that straight ahead. >> still no detail, but negotiations for the white house and the house speaker kevin

mccarthy, they are back on as a country inches dangerously close to a potential debt default. we are following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. we are just a few hours away from a new entry into the 2024 presidential race. after months of speculating and strategizing, senator ron desantis will officially launch his white house run, long-anticipated, and he'll do it on twitter, spurning traditional media for a live conversation with social media firebrand, in fact, the owner of twitter, elon musk. of course, the shadow looming over all of this is former p president trump. a new cnn poll out today confirms that trump remains the republican to beat and by a wide ma margin, with more than 53% support among republicans. the poll confirms that desantis

remains trump's most formidable point, though he lacks far behind. so will his twitter launch help the governor close that gap? let's speak now to cnn's resident twitter expert, donny o'sullivan. twitter represents a sliver of the u.s. population, and at times quite an angry sliver and even extreme in some cases sliver of the population here. what population, what audience does he reach by announcing in this forum right now. >> jim, most americans are not on twitter, it's most journalists, politicians, people who are kind of follow politics extremely closely. i mean, political campaigns going back years now spend all their money and invest all of their digital ad dollars in facebook and google. twitter is not really seen as a place where you can reach voters directly. but what it does do for desantis, though, it is one way, i guess, seeing him bypass ing

the so-called mainstream media. but most importantly, twitter has tried to present itself itself at the moment as this ba bastion of free speech and another way of desantis being able to engage in the culture wars, which we know he's a fan of. >> if i remember quickly, elon musk said by buying twitter, he wanted to make it a free speech haven, more balanced. but i do remember him endorsing republican candidates and voting republican in the midterm elections. and now here he is, taking part, you might say, a promotional part in the announcement of a republican candidate for president. what does musk gain from this and what does musk communicate with this? >> yeah, looking, musk has been trying to get conservatives, republicans on the right kind of back on the platform, in his view, restoring twitter's image after the company suspended then

president trump a few years back along with many other influential right-wing figures. so he has been courting people like this. and of course, the fired fox news anchor, tucker carlson, is due to launch his joe on the platform as well. >> just quickly, ewe have errol louis here as well. could this be a time for trump to return to twitter, perhaps, to disrupt? >> it was his old turf, right? he was the most prolific tweeter in the world. he has had access to his account since last november. he's not tweeted yet. we had some reporting in the past that he may have had some sort of exclusivity deal with truth social, his platform. but i don't think it would be a surprise to any of us if he were to pop up on twitter tonight and steal some of desantis' thunder. >> we know you'll be watching. donie o'sullivan, thanks so much. let's speak now to errol louis. errol, is this good politics for

desantis in the republican field right now? >> well, if he was going to stay in the republican field, he had to do something at this point. as the new cnn poll shows, he's 27 points behind donald trump, among republicans. that's the bad news. the worst news is that he was only 14 points behind a couple of months ago. this is an attempt, i think by ron desantis to try to stop that trend before it turns into an irreversible trend. he's got to try to put together some kind of a plausible path to victory. he apparently is going to try to appeal to social conservatives, which is good for a start. it's not enough to necessarily overtake donald trump. but it seems to be what he's going to try to do. we'll have to watch very carefully and listen careful, i should say, tonight, and see what he comes up with on twitter. >> so he is trying to outtrump trump in terms of conservative positions here. but also making the argument, in effect, that he's the trump who

gets stuff done, right? just as right wing, but more effective. is that -- the polling doesn't seem to be giving him that credit now, but what is your view? >> the polling doesn't give him that credit, and i think he might be relying on a fundamentally flawed theory. there are a lot of republicans, and we saw donald trump eat them all for lunch in 2016, who seem to be thinking that you can have trumpism, arch conservative politics, without trump. the republican voters have made clear over and over and over again, they like him as the head of their party. they like what he personally represents. not the policies. nobody is voting for donald trump because of his policies. people are voting for donald trump because of who he is and his rambunctious style and the enemies that he declares and makes war on. and unless ron desantis is willing to do that and say, i will make liberals just as mad. ly insult all kinds of groups. i will talk bad about immigrants and say outrageous things to delight you and to shock

moderates and liberals, unless he's willing to do that, and say -- and show that he can do it every day, i don't think there's any hope of him trying to dislodge trump as the head of a trump-oriented republican party. >> let me ask you a question about the democrats here. of course, we have a sitting democratic president, who is going to run for office, right, coming up, and doesn't have any stated opposition. do you see any possibility of that in the coming months? n that a democrat will stick his or head out and say, you know what, i'm going to challenge for the democratic nomination? >> i don't see it unless something catastrophic happens. and you would have to let your mind wander. unless there's some plausible reason that joe biden cannot make the race as the leader of his party, i don't think there's anybody who's going to do it. think about it, the entire architecture of the democratic party has already been laid in such a way that there are no

televised presidential debates scheduled before the democratic primaries next year. that's a pretty strong hint that they're not planning for there to be any whisper or any hint of any opposition. and frankly, nobody has stepped forward to say that it's necessary. until and unless joe biden somehow provesover suggests that he can't make the race, i don't think we're going to see any serious opposition. >> errol louis, thanks so much. brianna? >> right now, house republican go negotiators are at the white house for another round of debt limit talks. this is coming after speaker kevin mccarthy reiterated today that his conference is standinf. that they will make no concessions to democrats to raise the debt ceiling, and that the white house must agree to significant spending cuts. >> it's not my fault that the democrats today have become so extreme, so far to the socialist wing that they are now opposed to work requirements.

that they are now opposed to saving $1 less than you spent the year before. that to me really seems that the problems are the democrats. >> let's go to cnn's manu raju who is live for us on capitol hill. there's a lot of negotiation going on for someone who plans to make absolutely no concessions. so take us through what is happening here, manu? >> right now at the moment, mccarthy's top allies are at the white house to see if they can move any closer to a deal to avert the nation's first-ever debt default, and right now they are not close to a deal. not to give any other concessions. saying that his only concession is to vote to raise the national debt limit. he said the two things that he pointed to in that situation, work requirements on social safety network programs as well as rolling back federal spending. he said those are concessions that he's offered. those are things that democrats have actually rejected.

and he has called on democrats to agree to further spending cuts far beyond what the white house actually wants. we'll see if any movement happens there. i caught up with one of the people in the room right now. congressman patrick mchenry, one of kevin mccarthy's top negotiators. he defended the republican's handling of this negotiation and contend t that the white house badly miscalculated many their initial refusal to negotiate with republicans. >> but the predicate to get this out of the house is that we have to cut spending. that unlocks the rest of the negotiations, the white house team understands that. understand, that's hard for them, but their strategy, presume that we could not raise the debt ceiling. we did. we raised it out of the house. they're stuck in the senate and can't get anywhere. >> why not offer a single policy concession. >> they want to raise taxes at a time that we have revenue at an

all-time high. in real terms and percentage terms since world war ii. they have plenty of revenue. what we have also is the largest spending in american history and record deficits. so this is not a revenue problem. this is a spending problem. >> so mchenry making clear what republicans are insisting on, spending cuts far more than what the white house is willing to accept. but the question is, if the white house moves even more in the republican direction, how many democratic votes can they get on an ultimately bill, maya substantial number of democratic votes in the house and gets signed by a democratic president, all major questions here as the time is moving closer to a debt default and a deal is no closer to being reached. >> yeah, they need to get going. they do. manu raju for us on the hill. thank you. robert reich is the

co-founder of inequality media and the author of the book "the system: who rigged it and how we fix it." thank you so much for sharing your perspective with us this afternoon. we are now just eight days from fall aufg the fiscal cliff. and obviously it takes time to have any agreement to get through congress. realistically for those negotiators, what's the deadline? how much time do they have left? >> well, janet yellen is setting the deadline in terms of the so-called "x" date, the date in which the united states runs out of money to pay the nation's bills. she has said that it's going to be at the start of june. she's not been very specific about it. but i want to bring viewers' attention to a simple fact, and that is that the "x" date doesn't really exist. there is, there's nothing in law or the constitution or any other place where you can find a definition for when the united states runs out of money.

in 1985, treasury secretary jim baker faced with a similar kind of circumstance, where there was no debt ceiling increase, what he did, he raided the social security trust fund to keep paying the bills. now, i'm not suggesting that by any means. i want to make sure that people understand that there is no necessary date by which we run out of money. >> that's an interesting point. yellin has said that she does not want to get into a process of what bills treasury pays, though she admitted today that there are some difficult choices ahead. and on that point, on the substance of these negotiations, robert, what do both sides need to concede on? where do you see an agreement between republicans and democrats? >> boris, i don't see an agreement. that's one of the big problems here, because you've got the right wing maga republicans, who are saying to mccarthy, we're not going to go along with anything that is in any way a

compromise. we want to really push the democrats to the wall. yet you have a lot of democrats who are saying, we don't want to cut spending. we're not going to put more work requirements, andchi say more, because there are al of work requirements on welfare and on benefits right now. and so, how do you get a majority of the house to agree to any kind of a bill? it's almost impossible to conceive of doing it, particularly if you have to do, if you believe you've got to do it in the next week. kevin mccarthy is talking about trying to do it today, because you have big memorial day weekend coming up and a lot of the houses is basically leaving tomorrow. >> so, are you saying a dwaut is likely? do you think the u.s. is going to fall off the fiscal cliff? >> no, i would predict, what's going to happen is that the united states is going to continue to pay its bills. that there's not going to be a

default. that the biden administration is going to continue to threaten that there is going to be an "x" date that we are very, very close to not being able to afford to pay the bills, but we'll just keep on going, as we are. the can will be kicked down the road for quite some time. and it could even be argued -- now, the biden administration has not yet argued this, but it could even be argued that the constitution, and that is the article -- you know, the 14th amendment to the constitution, section 4, says that the debt shall be respected. there is no word that the validity of the public debt is going to be called into question and could rest on that and say that if joe biden has a constitutional responsibility, given his oath of office, to respect to constitution, and pay the nation's bills and protect the full faith and credit of the constitution. and the united states. >> that idea has certainly been kicked around by certain scholars. however, our sourcing at the

white house indicates that it is not something the biden administration is eager to do. robert reich, we appreciate your perspective. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, boris. >> of course. . the police say -- the man police say drove a u-haul into white house security gates was just back in courthouse. we'll be live outside the courthouse next. and this hour, a judge is set to sentence this man, pictured of putting his feet up on then speaker pelosi's desk during the january 6th capitol riot. what he's facing for a number of felony counts. and later, why the parents of the idaho student murdered suspect have now been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. we'll have the latest. you're watching cnn news central and we'll be right back. you know with priceline you could actuallyly take that trip for less than all this. i made a horrible mistake. ♪ go to your happy prprice ♪ ♪ priceceline ♪ more protection,

hey, grab more delectables.

you know, that lickable cat treat? de-lick-able delectables? yes, just hurry. hmm. it must be delicious. delectables lickable treat. this just into cnn. a man accused of ramming a u-haul truck into a security barrier just outside the white house, you'll remember the other night, has now appeared in federal court. investigators say 19-year-old psai varshith kandula made disturbing comments at the time of his arrest, telling law enforcement that he intended to kill the president. also saying that he had

admiration for adolf hitler. cnn's brian todd joins us live outside the federal courthouse in washington. i understand the judge made a decision. what did he say? >> reporter: that's right, jim. the initial court appearance just concluded a few moments ago. the judge, robin merry weather has ordered that this defendant remain in custody pending his detention hearing and that detention hearing is next tuesday, may 30th. prosecutors have argued several reasons why this suspect, sai varshith kandula should remain behind bars. among those arguments, that he has no local ties to this area, washington dc, and they say that he poses a serious flight risk. right now, he faces this one federal charge of depredation of property of the united states in excess of $1,000. that carries a mum of two years in prids and a $55,000 fine in a conviction or a combination of those two.

but there could be more charges added to this relate. we're told that he appeared in an orange jumpsuit just a few moments before ago before the judge, he spoke in soft tones, answered her questions bulb did not speak at length. you mentioned the charging documents, very disturbing things he said to a secret service agent who interviewed him on monday evening after he was arrested following that krsh into the security barrier at the white house. among the things that he told the agent is that he supported nazi ideology, that he supported the nazi idea of eugenics. he said he would kill the president and harm anyone who got in his way. but we have to reiterate that he also in that truck, there were no weapons found, no explosives, nothing like that, so he may not had a very well thought out plan, but he did menace the white house on monday night. even with the espousal of that nazi ideology and that nazi sympathy, we did speak to two of his friends from back in high school in chesterfield,

missouri, who said he was known as a very quiet guy, who never got into any trouble during their school years. he just graduated from high school in january of last year. what we're told by law enforcement sources is that authorities are considering the idea that mental health might have played a role in that incident, but again, we'll learn more about that possibly next week during his detention hearing. he does have a court-appoint ed attorney. jim? >> that image of that truck running into the barrier and that nazi laid out on the streets of washington, quite disturbing. boar, to you. donald trump's lawyers sent a letter to merrick garland, the attorney general, attacking the federal investigation of trump as outrageous and in the same paragraph, asking for a face-to-face meeting with garland. the former president posted the letter online. here's one part, quote, we request a meeting at your earliest con convenience to discuss the ongoing injustice that's being perpetrated by your special counsel and his prosecutors.

remember, the attorney general appointed special counsel jack smith in order to keep doj an arm's length away from investigations into the former president here's what garland said in november. >> as special counsel, he will exercise independent prosecutorial judgment to decide whether charges should be brought. >> cnn's senior crime and justice reporter, caikatelyn polantz is with us now. the timing is interesting. do we know why trump's attorneys sent this letter now? >> we don't have an exact reason about why now, why yesterday this letter was signed and dated. but we know that there are a lot of questions in this investigation, and oftentimes defense attorneys do want to go to the justice department or to go to the prosecutors and make some sort of legal argument or big case. and in this circumstance, it sounds like that is what they may want to be doing right now, because the grand jury has heard

from many, many witnesses. they have locked down a lot of evidence and it does appear that it is in its final stage in this mar-a-lago documents investigation, obstruction of justice, mishandling, clearly with donald trump at the center of the investigation. but there is a really special circumstance here, because we're talking about a special counsel. this isn't any u.s. attorney conducting an investigation. and jack smith, as the special counsel here, he has full authority to make the prosecution decisions on his own. he has to tell the attorney general about what he's doing, but he doesn't have to have garland say yes or no. he can make those choices. and so in this circumstance, the way that this is worded, it certainly looks like the attorneys for donald trump are trying to get attorney general merrick garland to look into jack smith in the only mechanism they can, by saying, we have a complaint about him. we want to bring it to you. you're the boss. there is something where they

can do that in the way that the justice department is set up, but we don't know exactly what they'll be saying to him, what allegation they might have, as they believe there is some level of misconduct, as they indicate that president trump is acting unfairly. it's really a short letter from the attorneys for trump here, and we have no idea how the justice department would respond, even if there would be a meeting that the attorney general would grant. >> it seems like an attempt to pierce that insulation with, that barrier that trump is trying to install between him and any installation of trump. brianna. a year ago today, 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas, forever changing the community and the country. we'll show you how the victims are being honored, next. the suncare brbrand used most by dermatologists and their families, neutrogena®

may 24th, 2022. one year ago today, a gunman walked into an elementary school and went on a murderous rampage. he slaughtered 19 schoolchildren and 2 teachers in uvalde, texas, and a botched police response and many still unanswered questions torment the heartbroken families. last hour at 12:49 local time, church bells rang out to mark the moment that police finally answered the classroom. statewide flags are flying at half-staff. next hour, president biden is scheduled to speak and call on congress to confront nation's gun violence epidemic. shimon prokupecz is joining us

now from uvalde, where this is a community that is coping still a year later, shimon. >> yeah, coping, i think, feeling a lot of anger, a lot of anxiety. i was just talking to some family members that we featured in our documentary sunday night. they actually came here and dropped off flowers, mia cerrillo, who was one of the girls who called 911, as she's on that bus with the other students who were rescued, some 77 minutes after and they came here to lay flowers. but you can tell that this is really affecting the families today and the survivors. you can just see it, you can just feel it. there were tears in her eyes. and you could, you know, having been around these people for a little while now, there's definitely a different feeling today than there has been any other day that i've certainly seen them.

it's just vareally sad to see. i can only imagine the memories this must bring back for many of the survivors and for these families, who a year ago were on the streets here, as police were at this point rescuing their kids or some of these parents finding out that their kids were being brought to a hospital. parents on this day were out here for over an hour awaiting answers. and to think about this, we're now a year later and they're still waiting for answers and trying to get some sense of what exactly happened phere. that's what they're dealing with here. there's also anger. because they just feel like they can't move forward right now without these answers, without getting the support of many of the political leaders and the community leaders here, and law enforcement. so, a lot of work, but today is certainly a day about those families, about the kids who died. and those who are survived. >> today is a day about

remembrance. they also do want these answers. what are the questions that weigh most heavily on them and why do they feel that officials are not being forthcoming with them? >> so, they definitely feel that there is protection. that a lot of the law enforcement officials, the leaders, the decision makers are being protected. and they are also then protecting some of the officers that were here, because some of the officers who were here on that same very -- on that day still are employed by the uvalde police department. and that's certainly very upsetting for them. there's a sense of anxiety here about that. about law enforcement. so they feel in some ways no one wants to hold anyone accountable for what happened. because it is embarrassing, it could potentially hurt political leaders. you know, it's interesting, where we're not seeing the governor here. you're not seeing any of the other local leaders here right

now, because simply, the families don't want them around. they feel that everyone here has failed them. and that they continue to fail them. and so they don't want any of these people around. the biggest question, obviously, is what took so long. why did it take 77 minutes for these officers to finally reach the classroom. and for the families whose kids died, they want to know specifically how they died and how they suffered. and that is something that they really, really want to know, because they feel it could give some some closure over what happened here, brianna. >> shimon prokupecz in uvalde, thank you so much. to walk through the streets of uvalde is really to be reminded of these 19 children and the two teachers that this community lost. this is some of what you can see from the sidewalks and the store windows downtown. it is an enormous labor of love to ensure that they're never forgotten. these are some of the 21 murals curated from articles across

texas. 10-year-old tess marie notta, who loved softball. she was wearing her grandmother's bracelet when she was beard. erma garcia who taught at robb elementary for her entire 23-year career. and her husband there, he died of a heart attack two days after the shooting. they were high school sweethearts. 10-year-old mayte rodriguez told her parents she wanted to be a marine biologist. and 10-year-old lexy rubio who was a star on her basketball team. 11-year-old miranda mathis who loved collecting rocks and feathers at the river. jaise, jayla, and xavier lopez, all of them 10 years old. and 9-year-old jacqueline casarez. her dream was to go to paris and see the eiffel tower. 1-year-old lei salazar, who was the fastest runner in her class.

following right now, an important court hearing underway in a civil lawsuit filed in the family of gabby petito against the parents of brian laundrie, that comes nearly two years after petito's killing and laundrie's disappearance and his subsequent death. one of the key rulings we are expecting centers on whether a letter laundrie's mother wrote to her son entitled "burn after reading" can be handed over to the petitos. tell us the importance of this letter and what you're learning so far about the petito family's demands here. >> the hearing is underway right now. what they're initially arguing, and this is the laundrie's family, they're arguing to dismiss the entire complaint. now, they've tried this before unsuccessfully. they're trying it again today. they have not gotten to the portion yet, though, with what you're talking about, jim, the family, the laundrie family is asking for what is called legally a protective order, because they hold a letter, a

letter that was found in a backpack next to brian laundrie's remains. it was brian's backpack. and that letter ruz written by roberta laundrie to her son, brian. now, we have not seen the letter. they don't want to turn it over to the petito family in this case which involves intentional infliction of emotional distress, because they say it's not relevant. we don't have a duty, but we found in a prior hearing from the petito attorney who has seen the letter at the office of the fbi said that the letter says in part, quote, burying a body, refers to providing a shovel, and also refers to baking a cake with a shiv in it. this is written by laundrie, and she admits she wrote this letter, found in his backpack next to his rem when they were found in the carlton reserve.

roberta laundrie has alleged in legal documents, this letter is not dated. i wrote this a long time before he and gabby went on that trip and it was to repair our relationship we were not on good terms, and we had read books together and i wanted to bring us together again from some of the quotes from some of those books and that's what it was referring to. and "burn after reading," gabby had bought a book, "burn after writing," and we always laughed about that. the petitos believe it is very relevant, because they are saying, you knew what had happened to gabby, you would not answer our calls, you blocked us on facebook, you blocked our texts, you wouldn't respond to us and that emotionally destroyed us, so this is outrageous behavior under the law. >> those phrases about burying the body and get you a shovel.

we have new reporting as well on the case of the idaho murders, the case of bryan kohberger. what are we learning? >> we have just confirmed and we are in peninsula. we have confirmed with a source that is familiar with the situation that there is an investigative grand jury in pennsylvania that has already heard testimony via subpoena, they did not come voluntarily, they were subpoenaed. the mother of bryan kohberger has already testified before an investigative grand jury, the father is set to testify before a grand jury. we understand that is set for tomorrow. we do not know what this is in regard to at all. but what we know are the facts. and that is that an investigative grand jury in monroe county, pennsylvania, can only look at potential crimes in

that county, in monroe county. of course, this is where the family home was, it's where brian and his father drove to, where he would spend the holidays with, when at the time he was arrested. but one other thing that can be done with an investigative grand jury. they can offer a presentment of what they believe should be crimes. they can say, they don't believe there are any crimes. additionally under the law, the judge and the district attorney in monroe county can send the transcript of any testimony to another jurisdiction with another investigation, so in this case, it would be didaho. they can do that because that transcript is an official record and it can get in the hands of the prosecutor. >> notable, because kohberger drove across country with his father with those murders, went to his home, there were questions about what he was doing there, what he was disposing of.

. it is the end of a streaming era. netflix is officially beginning its crackdown on users who share passwords here in the united states. so no more letting your bestie binge bridgerton or seinfeld. after years of password sharing, netflix says quote, your netflix account is for you and for people who live at your household. brian joins us with more.

pro perhaps not a surprise netflix saw its earnings decline in the last 12 months. how are they going to enforce this? >> the whole we're going to make you pay thing is going to be ip address based. if you're not located in the same household as the subscriber, that's going to be a big clue. as you mentioned, they're going to try to make people who are sharing passwords either create a new account and migrate their profiles over or have the subscriber add someone to their account for another $8 a month. now as you said, netflix has long turned a blind eye to this but because of their subscriber issues, they've had to really find new ways to gain revenue. and you know, we're talking about a lot of potential money here. netflix estimates that as many as 100 people people worldwide are password sharers and if you do the math here, you quickly

closely to see what happens with netflix and if there's any potential consumer fallout. >> see a lot of awkward conversations with exes in this situation. thank you so much for breaking that down for us. we have news to report right now. we're going to send it over to briana and jim. i believe there's breaking news. >> just in to cnn and it's sad news. tina turner, music legend, icon through decades, has died. she was 83 years old. stephanie elam has more on her incredible life and musical legacy. ♪ >> proud mary was one of tina turner's signatures, showcasing her unique sound, look, and moves. >> that's my style. i take great songs and turn them into rock and roll songs.
