we are minutes away from president biden's latest remarks on gun violence. he'll be speaking from connecticut to mark one year since the bipartisan passage of the first major gun safety law in a generation. the administration also ruling out new steps to address mental health challenges for young people impacted by gun violence. the latest data shows guns are the number one cause of death of kids and teens in the u.s. for two years straight now. there's a huge ripple effect on family members, on survivors, witnesses, and the trauma they all endure from gun violence. i want to bring in cnn's security correspondent josh campbell to talk about this. josh josh, biden's highlighting this but comes as gun violence

surging too, r. >> reporter: certainly and we see it. the president will be joined by a host of gun safety advocates marking it's one-year anniversary of his landmark legislation. first real reform in a major way as relates to guns in nearly 30 years. look what this piece of legislation did. what this bipartisan group of lawmakers was able to accomplish. toughen background checks, particularly for people who are under the age of 21. this act also closes a years' long loophole in dough mmestic violence laws and red flag laws. you know someone in a situation they have a firearm and might be intent on harming themselves or someone else, you can petition a court. able to increase that at the state level and funding for mental health services. notable, 15 senate republicans and 14 republicans in the house joining with democrats to pass this legislation. as you mentioned at the top, still continue to see shooting after shooting.

look at some of the most recent figures. more mass shootings than days this year as of now. nearly 296 mass shootings in the united states. pew research center looking at data. latest available from 2021 said nearly a 25% spike in gun deaths from 2019 to 2021. certainly a situation that lawmakers are trying to reverse, yet we see shootings time and time again. >> they want to can do more. biden and gun safety advocates want to do more, but it's tough to see that succeeding. i wonder is there hope as you see it to accomplish something there? >> reporter: you know, look at some of the major reforms gun safety advocates called for. stalled. including university background checks across the country before someone can actually purchase a firearm. look at polling data. interesting. nearly 90% of american people agree with university background checks but those have not made their way through congress and

calls for this national red flag law. not just state by state but a nationwide ability for people to get guns out of the hands of people who might be violence, and then, of course, the major issue, which is going nowhere. this assault weapons ban. we know that so many of these repens of war used time and again in these mass shootings. many deadliest mass shooterses opted for this ar-style weapon. remains logjammed. republicans, strictly those very strong second amendment beliefs say, no, they don't want that assault weapons banned. it's worth pounding out, talt pointing out, even though a log jam not giving up. looking state-by-state. national forum might not happen but moving through state legislatures and accomplished quite bait in the last year. >> seen it the last many years since newtown as well. josh, thank you for bringing us up to date on that. boris? to another headline.

conviction be in the deadliest attack against jewish people in the united states. 11 people killed because of their fake. the faith. a jury in pennsylvania convicted robert bowers on all 63 charges. more than 20 of them were capital offenses. for his shooting rampage inside the tree of life synagogue in 2018. six others wounded including four officers who responded to the scene. the 50-year-old mass murderer will enter the death penalty phase of his trial, set to begin later this month. take you live outside the courtroom with danny freeman covering this from pittsburgh. danny, tell us what it was like in the courtroom when this verdict was read? >> reporter: well, frankly, the best way to put it, so silent you truly could hear a pin drop when the judge was reading off those charges. our reporter was in the croom as

it happened saying robert bowers, the defendant, emotionless ticked through each one of the 63 federal charges, and after the primary capital offense charge was read and bowers found guilty, then a little break in the room in that our producer says you could hear some sniffles in the crowd. remember, family and survivors have been in the court just about every day watching this trial from the start. of course, in the courtroom as that verdict came down. that's really what it was like inside the courtroom. i want to talk a little more about these charges themselves. like you said, 63 federal charges. 22 of them capital offenses and the primary one was obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death. the second was use of discharge of a firearm to commit murder during relation to a crime of violence's i bring that up to illustrate exactly why robert bowers was on trial for those particular offenses and really those two issues are what the prosecution tried to hone in on

as it went through these past three weeks of testimony. part of the reason, the way, i should say, they did that, by playing 911 calls. one in particular stands out. from bernice simon. one of the victims of this shooting. she and her husband sylvan were inside the sin going sitting in their pew. shooting started. bernice took a prayer shawl and held it to her husband's leg to stop his bleeding and was on the phone with 911 dispatcher saying we're being attacked, being attacked. i'm scared to death. then you hear gunshots and silence on that line. bernice ultimately was killed in that attack. now, i should say hearing more from jewish community leaders. in the past few minutes, some community leaders from specific congregations gave remarks. a general sense of relief, make no mistake. as you mentioned, now we're going to the death penalty phase of the trial. that will be more difficult as

well. it will be gut-wrenches, one representative said, because hearing more victim impact states and more testimony. i want to read a news statement actually just got from rabbi of the tree of life that day, survived the shooting. rabbi jeffrey meyers who wrote i'm grateful to god for getting us to this day and thankful for the law enforcement who ran into danger to rescue me and the u.s. attorney who stood up in court to defend my trite play. i'm focused on being with mying on gcongregation and praying an sings praise to god. shabbat is today and one more thing about that. a lot of the community leaders here, they emphasized that if nothing else, today gave relief, because it proved that a jury of his peers said that robert bowers carried out this attack specifically because these congregants were jewish. the death penalty phase starts june 26th.

back to you. >> details in that testimony have been excruciating so far and we will likely see more of that moving into the next phase. danny freeman in pittsburgh, thank you so much. today we have a scathing new justice department report that details a pattern of racial discrimination and civil rights abuses by the minneapolis police department. this is the result of a two-year doj probe into mpd sparked by the 20209 killing of george floyd by then officer derek chauvin. merrick garland walked through systemic problems in the department he says contributed to floyd's murder. >> we found that mpd and the city of minneapolis engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, unlawfully discriminating against black and latin-american people, violating rights of people engaged in protected speech and discriminating against people

with behavioral disabilities and responding to them, when responding to them in crisis. >> cnn's reporter is in minneapolis covering this. what else are we hearing and what are people saying in reaction to this? >> reporter: well, i'll start with the reaction, brianna. this report really echoes what community leaders and other members of the community had been saying for decades. it echoes what they say they already knew. for example, the report says minneapolis police patrolled neighborhoods differently. based on their racial composition, and discriminated based on race when searching, handcuffing or using force against people during stops. specifically, you heard the attorney general say they found that mpd and the city of minneapolis engaged in a pattern of practice of using excessive

force. this report also found that some folks in leadership within the minneapolis police department used racist comments and that's not all. listen to more of our conversation. >> we also found that mpd officers failed to intervene to prevent unreasonable use of force by other officers. >> so i hope that minneapolis will then, in turn, become an example of what police reform looks like for the rest of the state. >> reporter: so some activists, like jerome, you just heard from, who found the minnesota teen activists, following the murder of george floyd, they're optimistic and their hope, what's on paper, for example, there are at least 28 recommendations, they hope those recommendations will be implemented, and they will see a cultural change and shift within the minneapolis police

department and the city. >> before does the mpd go from here? >> reporter: right now the doj mentioned that there's a consent decree. 's in principle's city and mpd have signed an agreement. let's say in good faith, but they still have to negotiate that agreement. and that could take months, even up to a year for that agreement to be finalized, and it will, this agreement, essentially bring in a watchdog. someone to look over the minneapolis police defipartmento change some of their policies and be accountable for some of the practices that are in place. brianna? >> all right. thank you, live for us from minneapolis on this very important story. boris? still to come on "cnn news central," defund the doj? not every republican is onboard with that sentiment as the split in the party continues. in the aftermath of former president trump's indictment.

president biden is not saying much about the former president's indictment, but the first lady is, and her first sitdown interview since her husband lost his re-election bid, she repeated what she's been telling donors at recent off-camera fund-raisers. watch this. >> the way i see it is, there's two -- very different administrations. very different leaders. you know, from what this country saw, i thought that the last demonstration was filled with, with chaos and confusion. and in my husband's administration, i feel that he's offered americans strong, steady leadership. >> it's a very different story on capitol hill. trump allies there are working

on another strategy targeting the justice department as they try to defend the former president for his alleged mishandling of classified documents, they're calling for cuts to the department's funding, and for special counsel jack smith to testify before congress. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju joins us live. seeing conservatives in the house specifically trying to target the doj, but not all republicans are onboard? >> reporter: yeah. no question about it. we are seeing a divide within the republican conference in the house and senate over how to respond to the trump indictment. in the immediate aftermath of the trump indictment we saw some of the most vocal trump supporters rush to his defense, but then you heard a more muted response from a lot of the trump critics. some started to raise concerns on allegations that came out and others saying that the party should not retaliate against the justice department. we are hearing word from house conservatives trying to push for

jac jack smith to testify, move, restrict funding from the justice department or zero out salaries of key federal officials including fbi director chris wray. that is not being embraced particularly among top senate republicans or the number two republican, john thune. >> you have to understand. we need a justice department, a law enforcement agency and these ideas obviously we need accountability and oversight. the job we have to make sure they're doing the job the right way, but are we going to get rid of the justice department? no. and i think defunding it is a really bad idea. >> missing the obvious. somebody that has hundreds and hundreds of top secrets in his house. showing it to uncleared people and then lied about it. i'm not in the mood for defending that. >> we should impeach merrick garland. clearly abusing power of his position. we ought to impeach director wray as well. >> reporter: and that last

comment coming from congressman bob good. member of that far right house freedom caucus. members who pushed to go further. further than the republican leadership wanted and putting more pressure on speaker mccarthy in the days ahead. mccarthy himself supported efforts by the house judiciary committee chairman jim jordan to seek records from merrick garland about the search in mar-a-lago relieving a number of those documents that donald trump initially refused to turn over. he supported trying to get those records, but has not gone as far as some of these members in the far right of this conference has wanted. it will all raise presh other than him when it comes time to fund the government and the justice department, where does speaker mccarthy come down? one of the big questions in the months ahead. >> yeah. a fight over trump's legal woes bleeding into other parts of the government and conversations about funding. manu raju, thank you so much. insight now from cnn's

senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. you have new reporting about trump's attorneys contacting dodge to get security clearance so they can go over some evidence in the classified documents case? >> reporter: that's right. anyone who epts former president trump in this case will need an active clearance. he's accused of taking 31 documents after he left the white house, classified documents. some of which will labeled top secret and the most sensitive secrets the country has. yesterday we heard for the first time from the judge in the case since former president trump's arraignment earlier this week who told lawyers get the ball rolling with these clearances. told them to get in touch with the doj, which we learned they have done and wants an update in five days on the status of where they are with this critical issue. of course, boris, a big outstanding question is who exactly will be on trump's legal team? todd blanch, chris koois, enters appearances and told the court permanent members of the team. we know also looking for at least one more florida-based

defense attorney. we know they've been talking to several people. i spoke with sources this morning saying that this search it active, ongoing and not clear if it will take days or weeks. once selected take weeks to get clearance. days and weeks add up over time pushing us closer and closer to the election. >> something we've heard from the trump legal team behind the scenes. they would like, prefer this to be fought out in court of public opinion and delay as much as possible. >> reporter: absolutely. >> thank you for that. as the capitol takes more hit, pushing could do more. we explain. and the drone strike team, the counter offensive gets underway. that's next on "cnn news central."

a massive combined air attack is how ukraine describes russia's bombardment of kyiv earlier today. at least six people including a child injured in russia's largest attack on the capital in weeks. earlier today russian president vladimir putin said his military could destroy anyone bidding in the heart of the capital but chooses not to do it for now. cnn's fred pleitgen joins us from zaporizhzhia. that's one of the bombastic comments he made today. >> reporter: you're absolutely right. did it at the st. petersburg economic forum. important event for vladimir

putin. sentiment the same. gives a speech and afterwards sort of a panel fireside sort of event. where a lot of those really strong comments are usually made by vladimir putin. no exception this year as well where he made comments about potentially being able to destroy large parts of kyiv, but also nuclear saber rattling as well saying some tactical nuclear weapons russians will going to give to belarus to store there and some have already arrived. the russian president saying also if russia's existence were under threat, russia could use nuclear weapons but saying at this point in time not the case and claimed the current counteroffensive of the ukrainians is faltering. he said ukraine's lost a lot of armor and not achieved strategic objectives. we're on the ground speaking to ukrainian forces who say they've made headway and acknowledged some losses and also say they have something else going for them as well. those are the elite drone units

that strike high-valued russian targets in the middle of the night to help that counteroffensive get along. we were able to go along with one of those units. here's what we witnessed. [ speaking non-english ]. >> translator: a 3d printed stabilizer, plumbing tubing, glue and the bomb is ready. >> reporter: then it's night vision goggles on. lights off, and full speed ahead to the front line. we're with an illegal drone unit of ukraine's security service, sbu and patrol police looking to take out a key russian anti-tank position with a precision strike. we found this target recently, a team leader says. discovered literally today and today it will be destroyed. it's extremely dangerous and have to make sure the russians don't see us. speed and precision are

essential. the drone, a quadro copter on tear royds able to carry a massive payload up to 45 pounds. in this case a mortar shell the ukrainian sas they got from retooeting russia forces elsewhere and using to hit putin's army. >> prepared. >> okay. >> bomb is ready. ready to go. >> okay. ready. steady. >> reporter: it's big. it's loud, and it's heading straight to the russian position. we need to hide. out here the hunters quickly become the hunted. the russians, drone crews high-value targets. russians want nothing more than to kill these guys. unfazed by health issing around us, the pilot fires state to the target and releases the bomb. [ speaking non-english ]. >> at this moment we call from

ukraine as well. >> just dropped the bomb? >> yes. >> reporter: this is what the bomb looks like from the drone's camera. strike, fully automated. daytime a reconnaissance flight proves they've hit and destroyed the target. not clear how many russians were killed and wounded here. this will allow the defense forces of ukraine to move forward and continue the offensive, he says, with minimal losses inflicting maximum losses on the enemy for victory of ukraine. but it's not over as the uav flies back intercepted text messaging show the russians have heard the drone and are targeting it. enemy bird spotted a russian effects, understood another answers. they launch flares to spot the drone. >> now you can see. >> oh, yeah. back there. >> are they shooting those up to see the droon? >> see the drone but shoot for themselves.

>> reporter: finally the drone makes it back. they need to get out of here fast. >> we follow you? >> yeah. let's go, follow me. >> okay. >> go, go, go, go. >> reporter: after what they say was a successful mission, drone warriors leave exactly the way they came. and, of course, brianna, the small unit like that gets discovered by the russian military, comes under artillery fire, in big trouble. i asked if that's ever happened. they said, yes, happens quite frequently and had a couple people wounded. never anyone killed. of course, they want to keep it that way and also said they are not going to back down and continue these operations until ukraine has won. brianna? >> taking a lot of risks, but they believe in this. fred pleitgen, live from zaporizhzhia, thank you. new today, pope francis is ouch the hospital. nine days after undergoing abdominal surgery. surgeons repaired a hernia causing him pain.

of vetoing his projects as retaliation for his endorsement of donald trump for president. florida state senator joe brutters says the cuts amounted to all of his funding requests in the state budget. he is the only florida lawmaker to endorse trump while 99 clears in the state legislature a backing florida's governor. joining now we have more. what do we know about this dispute and what is desantis saying about the allegations? >> reporter: boris, there's been a sharp divide among florida republicans over who to get behind in this gop primary. we have seen most of the florida congressional delegation get behind donald trump while, as you said, almost all of the florida lawmakers in the state are supporting ron desantis. the exception is one. joe gruders who has endorsed president donald trump over his home state governor. yesterday desantis signed the state's budget and turns out he vetoed about $30 million worth

of projects, all earmarked by brooders in this budget including a water quality project, a new nursing facility, and a roads project in this district. he said this was a mean-spirited retaliation and a quote to cnn said this was the governor is clearly upset i endorsed donald trump for president so he took it out on the people of sarasota county. trump and i understand that people come first, and it's our job to deliver clean water, jobs and a better america for the next generation. the governor clearly sees politics differently. now, this morning we heard from the state and the governor's office who replied to this allegation saying, "senator gruders is turning conservative governance and fiscal responsibility into a political statement, that's absurd." boris, i note he is not the only florida republican upset with the governor over these vetoes. also saw the state's agriculture commissioner come out

criticizing the governor for vetoing $100 million for a farmland conservation program. notably simpson has not endorsed him in this race at this point. >> reporting from st. petersburg. thank you so much. if arnold schwarzenegger had his way he would be in that race with desantis and trump. the former california governor talking with cnn's chris wallace about his dream to become president. a dream that can't come true. >> the constitution said that a president has to be a natural-born u.s. citizen. if not for that, would you have run for president? >> well, yes. of course. i mean, i think the field is wide open in 2016. and i think the field is open right now. i mean, think about it right now. i mean, who is there that is really a person that can bring everyone together?

who is the end of the day people say, okay. he's not too old or he's not too this or too that. now it's a question, who do you vote against rather than who do you vote for? >> you're saying you would run for president in 2024 -- >> absolutely. because it's, look. it's a no-brainer. i see it clearly how you could win. it's like me in california in -- which i was, you know, running for governor. it was clear. the people are looking for some new answer. not a right wing or a left wing but someone that can bring the nation together. there's just so many things that need to be done and can't be done, and what makes it wonderful, it's doable. it's all doable. all it needs is people coming together and saying, yes, we can do it. >> for more on chris' interview with arnold schwarzenegger and a conversation with actor andy goor seey, tune in tonight at 10:00 and streaming on max.

garcia. boris? a top republican senator dropped a bombshell earlier this week claiming that tapes exist of joe biden when he was vice president allegedly discussing a bribery scheme with ta foreign national. the back pedaling began when the same senator and key republicans were asked for proof investigating the biden family's dealings and caution the tapes may not even exist. listen. >> i just know that exist, because of what the report said. now, maybe they don't exist. but how will i know until the fbi tells us, are they showing us our work? >> we don't know if they're legit or not but we know the foreign national claims he has them. >> i'm not aware we verified that those recordings exist. >> so far these allegations remain unverified. republicans have not established a direct link tying biden to foreign business deals when he was vice president.

we have cnn zachary cohen with us to break down all of these details. it can be a tangled web, zach, for those not focused on what's been playing on conservative immedi media and what they're alleging. untanksal the web for us? >> eager to link president joe biden to this alleged bribery scheme. it's outlined in this form that the fbi has and that they've showed to lawmakers on the oversight committees basically contains a bunch of unverified allegations from an informant. they're years' old and 17 audiotapes are contained within there. claiming that they're from the informant. 17 audiotapes containing conversations between this foreign national and joe biden when vice president. allegations talking about play tore pay bribery. seen here, even chuck grassley, went to the senate floor a few days ago to lay this out saying these audiotapes of evidence

one of the most heated rivalries in all of sports boiling over last night. the u.s. men's soccer team won a bruising and at many times extremely dirty match against mexico to earn a spot in the concacaf nations league final. punches thrown, jerseys ripped,

a flurry of cards delivered, four of them red cards, but it was the actions by fans in the stands, repeated homophobic chants that prompted the referee to cut the match short. cnn's sports anchor andy scholes joining us now on this. explain this to us how things got so ugly last night. >> well, branianna, mexico's fa have been doing this chant for years and been punished multiple times for it. they had to play without fans in a game in 2021 and despite officials pleading with their fans to stop the chant, it continues to happen when opposing goalies do goal kicks. that's what occurred in last night's very heated game in las vegas. the referee stopped the game momentarily because of the chant in the 90th minute with the u.s. leading 3-0. after adding 12 minutes of stoppage time, he blew the final whistle after eight of those minutes because the chant had not stopped. now, after the match concacaf

condemned the chants and said several fans were actually ejected for their behavior during the match. and as they said, this is a very heated game, nine yellow cards, four red cards handed out. brianna, these two teams, they don't like each other, mexico is frustrated they were losing this match, rather handily, but, you know, even though these teams don't like each other and they always have a heated match when they face each other, they will be co-hosting the world cup with canada come 2026. >> they better patch things up. they better. andy scholes, thank you for that. boris? here is a look at some of the other headlines we're following this hour. a syrian teen survived a shipwreck that killed 78 people, had an emotional reunion with his older brother who travelled from the netherlands to find him. they hugged and wept through metal barricades after finding each other. as many as 750 migrants were packed on the vessel that

capsized and sank on wednesday, some 50 miles off the coast of greece. just over 100 people have been rescued and a massive search continues for other possible survivors. and a first for muslim american women. nusrat chodri was confirmed as a judge. she is now the only -- is only the country's second muslim american federal judge. and finally, members of the teamsters union are expected to approve a massive strike at u.p.s. today. if a strike happens, it would be the largest against the single employer in the history of the united states. the pro longed work stoppage could severely damage the u.s. economy. workers are pushing for better wages, but a possible strike is still more than seven weeks away. plenty of time to negotiate. brianna? >> all right. bad news for you night owls. a new study followed the sleeping and not sleeping habits

of 24,000 sets of twins from 1981 to 2018 and it found that people who prefer to go to bed later and get up later have a higher risk of early death. cnn's jacqueline howard is following this new report. okay, so, jacqueline this isn't about how much sleep people get, it is about the habits they have, bad habits they develop from staying up late. >> that's exactly right, brianna. the study was interesting where it kind of shows that it is not just the bed time of night owls, but it is really what they're doing when they stay up late at night that is associated with this increased risk of premature death and exactly what this study found was when they were looking at those twins, they found that those who said that they're more of an evening person than morning person were also more likely to be heavy smokers, to drink more alcohol, and the study found that there was a 9% increased risk of premature death for night owls

versus early birds, mainly due to those unhealthy habits. so, of course, we know sleep is associated with your health, but there is also other factors too here, which is what this study shows, brianna. >> all right, jacqueline howard, thank you for that. let's head to the white house where president biden is marking one year since signing that bipartisan gun safety legislation. >> -- population in the country and segregated when i was a kid. that's what got me engaged. and made me believe that we could do anything. made me believe we can do anything. i want to thank -- i want to thank chris for the introduction. before i say anything else, i want to acknowledge the amazing young people we just heard from. you know -- [ cheers and applause ] i really mean it. it takes extraordinary courage

for them to stand up here and retell the story, because many of you out there, parents, relatives and/or victims yourself, it is not just your story, it is the first graders at sandy hook, the kids and teachers at uvalde who i sat with afterwards, it is the mother emanuel eight years ago tomorrow, it is the tree of life synagogue, it is the families across hartford, not just the shootings that make the headlines, but every single day, every damn day in america, in areas that are poor, mostly minority. there is a mass shooting, it never reaches the crescendo that it reaches other places. every single day. and, folks, folks, there is a lot, a lot we have to do and it takes courage to tell the story

that you've been through because, you know, i spent a lot of time as president and i spent 30 some times, visits and many more days in afghanistan and iraq, and i watch. we have post traumatic stress they call it for soldiers. what is the difference between post traumatic stress to a soldier meets in the hills of afghanistan and a fourth grade kid meets in a classroom and they have to duck and cover. [ applause ] i'm serious. and you're here, many of you, and it brings it all back. it brings it all back for your families, your parents, your siblings and brings it back for the entire country. ripples through the nation. i don't know how many times i met with people at events in the country who shake my hand and say, i'm worried. there has been another shooting not far from where i live. i'm scared to send my kid to

school. had a profound impact and some people in this room have turned to your pain into purpose. i suspect all of you have. your loss into determination. and your anger, justifiable anger, into a deep-seeded commitment. you're the reason why i'm so optimistic about the future of this country. that's not hyperbole. that's a fact. you're the best educated, most involved, least selfish, most consequential generation in american history. i'm also optimistic because of leaders like senator murphy. chris, thanks for inviting me today and for organizing this summit. you know, we -- chris and i -- chris and i have known each other a long time. grew closer after that december day in 2012. just selected to the senate and barack and i had just been re-elected to the white house. when the soul of newtown, the soul of connecticut, the soul of the nation was pierced forever. you've never forgotten that feeling. you've never given up on

something that we can never lose, ever lose, hope. hope. same goes for senator dick blumenthal, a great friend. he was attorney general of my deceased son. attorney general of delaware. another leader in the fight against gun violence. and governor lamont, connecticut delegation, which is incredible. i think in this issue and many others you're the best delegation in the united states of america. [ cheers and applause ] that's the truth. i also want to acknowledge the gentlelady from georgia, lucy macbeth. [ cheers and applause ] lucy carries her son jordan in her heart, she proves you can run for office ending gun in the south and you can win. only by about 20 points or something like that. i'm never come close.

lucy, i know this isn't easy for you. you're a real pro. i know it is not easy for you. i remember. and one of jill's favorite people in the whole world, and mine, i always introduce her as she is mark kelly is her husband. ladies and gentlemen, gabby gifford. [ cheers and applause ] gabby has more courage than most people i have ever known. i would be honored to bestow the presidential medal of freedom on gabby, not only for her courage, but her intellect, to help carry this movement. she's not stopping now. she's not stopping now. gabby, i love you. you're wonderful. [ applause ] congressman larsson, thanks for the passport to your strict. you've never given. you've never given up either. to the state and local leaders, the
