12:03 pm
they work to fund the government, pay for the president's agenda and cut trillions in federal spending. >> and a near collision. some really scary new video showing the close call between a southwest airlines jet and a private plane. it left one air traffic controller asking, uh, how did that happen? we are following these developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. >> to more than 20 federal employees who had been working for elon musk's doge just announced they are resigning in protest. these are people who worked for the u.s. digital service before the agency became doge, and now they're saying they can no longer uphold their oath to the constitution. while working for musk's group. meanwhile, the white house says that 1 million federal workers have responded to elon musk's email requesting an accounting
12:04 pm
of their work last week. the administration is also attempting to clarify whether people will be fired if they don't reply. listen. >> the agency heads will determine the best practices for their employees at their specific agencies. again, this was an idea that elaine elon come up with. doge worked with opm to actually implement the idea, and the secretaries are responsible for their specific workforce. >> more on that in a moment. let's start with cnn's sunlen serfaty on these new resignations by federal employees. what more are you learning on that front? >> well, omar, these are highly skilled technology staffers, and they did resign in mass this morning, 21 staffers, as you. >> said, with. >> the usgs, united states digital services. >> and these are. >> staffers that are in some of the most critical government projects. we're talking about engineers, designers, data scientists, product managers, people who have their hands in very critical work across the u.s. government. they were part
12:05 pm
of usds. now it morphed into doge. and it was very clear that they wanted to make a stand in this mass resignation. and in their letter, which was notably addressed to the white house chief of staff, susie wiles, they say, quote, as civil servants, we remain committed throughout the presidential transition to delivering better government services through technology and stood ready to partner with incoming officials. each of us left senior private sector technology positions to pursue nonpartizan public service. we swore to serve the american people and uphold our oath to the constitution across presidential administrations. however, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments at the united states doge service. and notably in this letter, they go on to talk about how, in essence, they gave it a beat, started to observe what doge was doing within their department, and they noted that they said they fired technical experts, mishandled sensitive data in
12:06 pm
their opinion, and were breaking critical systems. so very strong words coming from these staffers. and i talked to a source with knowledge of these resignations, and they told me that last week it was last tuesday, a week from today, where for the first time, their teams weekly meeting was led by someone within doge. and the message from this employee was, we've got to turn the page here. acknowledging it was a tough few days with many layoffs and firings, but wanting to move forward. and that did not sit well with this group of people who then started to work towards in the past week. how can we resign? how can we do so in a way that really makes this and so certainly a significant letter coming from this group of 21 technology staffers within the federal government. omar. >> definitely significant. sunlen serfaty, really appreciate the reporting. rene marsh is also with me now on this shifting guidance given to federal workers. uh, what do we know at this point? what are they being told? >> well, look, we're three.
12:07 pm
>> days into this and. >> there is. >> still, like. high levels of confusion, but. also just, you know, employees are upset. the union representing them continues to say that this is illegal, that forcing employees to comply with this email is not within their is no regulation that says that they must reply to an email demand from anyone who is outside of their chain of command. but just to recap of how we got here, i mean, the white house today is trying to give further clarification to kind of clean all this up for federal workers. but remember, this all started on saturday where they were told that if they do not comply with responding to what they accomplished last week, they would be terminated. then came monday at around 6 p.m. uh, they received word that this was actually voluntary for them to comply. and then later that evening, they were then told that it's up to the agencies to
12:08 pm
essentially determine the responses and receive the responses from the federal workers and then determine how to proceed, whether these individuals will be terminated or not. so they're attempting to clean this up, but still a lot of confusion here for these federal employees. and again, the union taking the posture that this is just an example of the chaos and callousness at which, uh, with which these federal employees are being handled. i mean, many of them are, as they described to me, at their ends, wit because this is coming within the context of thousands of people have already been fired from their jobs. many have also been put on paid administrative leave. the people who do still have jobs don't know how long that that will be the case. and now you have this situation where they feel as if they if they don't comply or they don't make the right decision here, they too could be, uh, in danger of losing their jobs. they're also unclear if if they do comply, whether
12:09 pm
this information would be weaponized against them to maybe put a target on their back where they have now detailed the kind of work that they're doing. and if it doesn't align with the administration and the work that they want done, they feel like this could be used against them. so a lot that they are grappling with at this point. >> a lot of questions. these are employees that are located throughout the country too, not just here in washington. rene marsh really appreciate it, brianna. >> right now on capitol hill, the house has taken a key step toward teeing up a vote tonight on their massive budget blueprint to kick start president trump's agenda. but there are still big questions about whether or not speaker mike johnson has convinced enough of his gop colleagues to get on board. republicans have a razor thin majority, and johnson can only afford to lose one of their votes. cnn's lauren fox is live for us now with more. lauren, what are you hearing? >> yeah, speaker johnson is still trying to rally those votes behind closed doors, having many conversations with lawmakers on both sides of his
12:10 pm
conference on the far end. he has some conservatives who believe that the spending cuts don't go far enough. that's the case with someone like representative thomas massie. on the other side of the equation. he has some swing district republicans who are still asking a series of questions about what these potential cuts could mean for programs like medicaid. one of those lawmakers i talked to earlier today. here's what they said about the way they're thinking about this decision. >> i'm still making my. >> point all the way to the end about the need to protect the services. >> that are. >> important. >> to my district. >> i've been. >> clear. >> especially in my. >> letter from the. >> from the. >> congressional hispanic caucus conference, uh, about protecting medicaid, of course, snap, pell grants. those are the things that we need to continue to fight for. and that's been my message to leadership this whole time. well. >> some of those discussions. >> are already happening. uh, that. >> the the decisions on those will be made in the next
12:11 pm
process. >> now a short time ago, house republicans were able to approve a first step. they were able to move forward with what is known as a rule that really does set them up for this potential vote tonight on the budget proposal. but, you know, we talked a couple of hours ago about one lawmaker, representative van drew of new jersey. he said he spoke to donald trump again this morning about his concerns. and brianna, he said once again, trump reiterated he also doesn't want to see steep cuts to medicaid. we should just point out that this budget proposal does not say explicitly there would be cuts to medicaid, but it does direct the committee that has jurisdiction over that program that a lot of these lawmakers constituents rely on to cut more than $800 billion. if you aren't cutting medicaid, where are you getting that level of cuts? that is where some of the skepticism is coming from when it comes to these swing district. republicans. brianna. >> lauren fox on the hill. thank
12:12 pm
you. omar. >> let's bring in a member of the house budget committee, congressman addison mcdowell is a republican representing north carolina. congressman. really appreciate you being here. so let's start with what's going on today, what may or may not happen tonight. from where i sit, there are still some holdouts for this step to get to reconciliation. i mean, what do you know about a potential vote tonight? are you confident your side will have the votes? >> yeah, absolutely. i think we're going to have the vote tonight and we've got the votes. this bill does exactly what we promised the american people we were going to do. and enacts president donald trump's agenda, that we got a mandate to to enforce. it secures the border and it rebuilds our economy. and it looks for fraud, waste and abuse. and i think the majority of americans support that. >> well, and we did hear, though, of some potential holdouts, you're basically saying that you're confident some of the republicans who are not fully committed right now to this point, will come over to your side. i know you're supportive of the bill or of the of the.
12:13 pm
>> well, i mean, i think that this yeah, this bill, it enacts president trump's agenda. that's what we want to do. and i think that we've got the votes to get it done. and if it comes to the floor, i'm going to be happy to vote for it. >> so and i guess my question too, is why what your sense is? why not do what the senate did get an early republican win with boosting immigration enforcement. as you mentioned, national security, energy production, and then come back to address, for example, tax policy, which was not included on the senate side. and maybe there wouldn't be some of these potential holdouts. what what is your impression of what the senate did and why are you more supportive of this route that you all have taken so far? >> well, i've always supported the one bill strategy, and i think that that's important because we've got to get this done. we need to get it done. now. the american people elected us to do a job, and they want to see it signed into law. and that's what the house republicans are trying to do here. i think that that securing our border is personal to me. and it's something that i want to get done immediately rebuilding our economy. it's important to the voters in my district and we want to get this
12:14 pm
done. we don't want it waiting around forever. we want to extend these tax cuts. we want to find savings in the government, find waste, fraud and abuse. and we want to get this on the president's desk and get it signed. >> and i know you mentioned taxes. you know, there we're showing just some numbers on the screen what the house budget resolution would do. 2 trillion in spending cuts, 4.5 trillion in tax cuts, 4 trillion debt limit increase. but i just want to pick up on what you said about taxes. uh, i don't have to tell you. you've got a pretty thin majority right now in the house. republicans do. were you worried at all that that or are you worried at all that not addressing trump's tax plan now would risk letting it expire later this year? >> all i know is that we need to secure our border right now, and we need to rebuild our economy. the democrats and joe biden broke. that's what i'm focused on. and that's what this bill does. this bill finds savings. it looks for waste, fraud and abuse. but it's not a policy bill. we need to pass this bill tonight to get the game going and to get the bill into the committee so we can make these
12:15 pm
decisions. but i don't think that this bill is something that that democrats are trying to make it out to be. the only people talking about cuts are the democrats, not us. we are talking about securing the border and acting the president's agenda. that's what this bill does. and we need to get it passed and get to work. >> well, one of the concerns of cuts on the republican side is the $2 trillion cut. some congress people have concerns that it could ensnare medicaid. congressman don bacon, for example, saying he wants he wants to advance trump's agenda on national security, energy and taxes. but does it want to make significant cuts to medicaid? it's not explicitly laid out in this blueprint, but it could be affected. are you confident that this blueprint wouldn't lead to any cuts in medicaid? >> khalil al-hayya i'm confident that there is waste, fraud and abuse in our government. in every system that we have, and that's what we're looking to find. >> is that include. >> medicaid, not a single if there is waste, fraud and abuse in any program, we need to find it.
12:16 pm
>> so that that includes matt. just to be clear. sorry, a little bit of a delay, but that to be clear, if there is waste, fraud and abuse, as you've described it in medicaid, that would be something you would be supportive of looking at. >> absolutely. if there's waste, fraud and abuse in anything, i can't imagine there's a single american that wouldn't want us to go and find that we're trying to strengthen everything in this bill and fix what the democrats broke. that's the that's the simple point.d i think it's it's, you know, interesting to me that the democrats want to make this something that it's not, but that's not what we're trying to do. we're trying to do is enact the president's agenda. >> uh, i want to ask you, congressman, about something some of your colleagues have faced some concerns from their constituents over some of the doge efforts. for example, just want to play a little some of what we've heard from them. if i could say. >> one thing to elon musk. it's like, please put a dose of compassion in in this. these are real people. these are real lives. >> these are mortgages. >> we it's a false narrative to say we have to cut, and you have to be cruel to do it as well. we
12:17 pm
can do both. >> i have compassion, i think elon musk. >> talked to us. >> about that. >> a long time. a couple of years ago. he said. before he was politically involved, he said, look, the republican party could do better. uh, by coming across as more compassionate. and i think that's really important. >> do you think. >> they've gone too far, too fast here? >> uh, i think it needs to be reviewed. >> i met a guy at the airport today who works. >> for the. >> fdic. >> and he was flying. >> up to. >> new york city. >> he was. >> quite upset. he was going. >> to have to lay. >> people off. and we talked. >> he was very angry. and i said, let's just talk about this. what can. >> we. >> do better? he says, we've got. >> you guys. >> got to communicate better because it's chaos. >> now. you couldn't see them. maybe you recognize their voices, but some of those congress people did face in person concerns from their constituents at town halls. but have you heard any concerns from your constituents about what you believe they should focus on, or what they believe doge should focus on? and do you believe it has overstepped in any way, either in speed or scope?
12:18 pm
>> my constituents believe that doge is on the right track. what elon musk and his team are doing is finding waste, fraud and abuse and putting it into the light. and i think what they're doing is great. uh, of course i'm you know, i feel bad for anyone that would lose their job. uh, but if we find waste, fraud and abuse in our government, we have to cut it. and that's what they're doing. and i don't have a problem with that. >> and finally, i know you already said it, but i just got to ask you again. representative addison mcdowell. are you confident that your side of the gop will win out tonight on this vote? >> i am. >> all right. you you couldn't tell me anything else? honestly. uh, congressman, really appreciate the time perspective. thanks for being here. >> no. >> all right. still to come, terrifying. video shows an airliner and a private jet coming within seconds of hitting one another on the chicago runway. you can see the video right there. we're going to tell you what we know about the incident. as americans express

12:24 pm
was all caught on tape. you can see this. this is a southwest airlines flight that was landing attempting to land at midway airport, almost touching down there before the pilot quickly pulls up because it narrowly missed that smaller private plane you may have seen crossing the runway. thankfully, crisis averted here. the southwest flight ultimately landing safely. the faa now investigating. in a statement, officials saying the crew of southwest airlines flight 2504 initiated a go around when a business jet entered the runway without authorization. joining us now, cnn aviation analyst and former ntsb managing director peter goelz. peter, you see this all happening and thank goodness this ended. all right. what questions is this raising for you that investigators are going to take a look at? >> well, there's two. >> things that were happening here. one is midway is a very crowded airport on a very small
12:25 pm
plot of land. there's four intersecting runways. and the air traffic controller gave the private jet, uh, his instructions. and there were multiple instructions in one order. cross, cross the runway. cross the second runway. whole short before a third. he didn't read it back correctly. you're supposed to read back the instructions. so the controller knows you've got it right. he clearly didn't get it. the controller immediately called him out on it, but by that point, the southwest. 737 was already in landing. final landing mode saw the jet on its on its path and pulled up. really a scary event. >> i think we have that audio. let's listen to that. and just to be clear, you'll be hearing this for our viewers. flexjet 560. that is the name of the small private plane.
12:26 pm
>> which at 560. >> hold your position. there. at 560. >> southwest 411. push. bravo three tango. >> at 560. continue across the hold. short hold short of hotel across the hotel. hold short hotel flexjet five 6560. your instructions for the hold short of runway 31. center flexjet 560. hold right there, sir. don't move. five 6560 possible pilot deviation. advise you contact midway tower at a number when you're ready to copy. >> okay, that's all happening very quickly to peter. and i mean i think the layperson it has a hard time dissecting that. but you're saying that the passenger of the private jet is this is all happening very quickly, isn't actually repeating what he's he's been told correctly. >> yeah. and if you go back to a little earlier portion, you'll see that he just didn't get it quite right. and he's somewhat confused about where he's
12:27 pm
supposed to hold, where he's supposed to cross. my guess is this is a pilot that doesn't fly in and out of midway fairly regularly. and it's, you know, at that time of day, there's a lot of traffic and you got to be paying attention, and there will be a voice recorder. they'll listen to it and see if they were distracted by other things going on. >> okay. well, let me ask you something, because, i mean, it sounds like in the faa's already being clear about this, that this was a the private jet entering the runway without authorization. but from the standpoint of air traffic control, because, as we know, aviation safety is about other factors, whether it's air traffic control or it's pilots, in this case, the southwest pilot compensating for the mistake of someone else. it's really about compensating for the mistake of someone else. is there something else air traffic control could have done? as you
12:28 pm
listen to that? >> uh, i need to listen to it more carefully. but, you know, aviation is a business that has multiple layers of safety. redundancy is key. if the taxiway pilot gets it wrong, the landing pilot gets it right, and there's a air traffic controller there. so there's levels of redundancy. in this case, it worked. it was a close call, but it worked. and people walked away safely. the pilot will be questioned carefully, as will his copilot, and they'll listen to the tape. and my guess is that there'll be some action taken. >> beautiful response by the southwest pilot, though. it's just. unbelievable. peter goelz, thank you so much. next, federal workers say doge is causing
12:29 pm
chaos. but what do americans think? across the country, cnn's john king, putting that question to some trump voters in colorado. plus, at least one nfl team wants a controversial play banned from football. we'll tell you what it is. and who wants it gone. coming up. >> it's the news. >> welcome back. >> but it's also kind of not the news. >> we don't fact check here. we don't care, man. >> why sell the information on this show so terrible? >> have i got news for you? saturday at nine on cnn. >> planning to move? join the 6 million families who discovered a smarter, more flexible way to move with pods. save up to 20%. now, for a limited time, whether you're moving across town or across the country, save up to 20% at pods.com today. >> i heard. >> you found someone special. >> yeah. >> is that dog. >> food in the fridge? >> it's not dog food. >> it's fresh meat. >> real veggies for peta. that's peter should have known.

12:53 pm
host don riddell. so don explain why the controversy. >> well. >> i. >> mean, this is. >> something that's been talked about. >> for. >> some time now. and the question really is, is it a case of. >> sour grapes or. >> maybe a serious question about player safety? it might be a little bit of both. now that we know the green bay packers are the team who asked for the push to be banned, this is a play that's been used extremely effectively by the. philadelphia eagles, who have perfected the art of shoving their quarterback, jalen hurts, forward to gain the yardage necessary for a first down or a touchdown this season. they tried it 34 times before the super bowl. they were successful on 28 occasions, and they also used it to score against the chiefs in the super bowl. within the last hour or so. the eagles head coach has expressed dismay that anybody would want to outlaw a football play, that, frankly, they're just so good at. >> i almost feel a. little insulted because we work so hard
12:54 pm
at that play. the amount. >> of. >> things that we've looked into, how to coach, that play, the fundamentals, it's always there's a thousand plays out there, but it comes down to how you teach the fundamentals and how the players go through and do what the fundamentals, and you see it throughout the league. i mean, we saw it in the championship games that, you know, a team failed at it and ultimately didn't end up winning the game because of it. >> i know. >> i know, it's we're not very successful against it. i know that, um, but to be honest, i have not put much thought into it. it's been around for a while. we've used it in different fashions with with our tight end. um, so, um, again, i think there'll be a lot of discussions about it. um, i got to kind of look at the some of the information as far as injury rates, things like that to see. um, but we'll see. >> so here's why you might want it banned. you're not very good at executing the play yourself. like apparently the packers you're not very good at defending it. or maybe you think the play is just detrimental to the game because there's really
12:55 pm
nothing inherently good about it. or perhaps it really is dangerous, and nobody outside of the league's head office has seen any data on that yet. football is just full of fun phrases like pooch punt, flea flicker, coffin corner, and hail mary. if the game doesn't want tush push added to the list, then at least 24 of the league's 32 teams will have to agree to ban it. >> okay. i mean, is the play bad for the game? don? >> well, i guess it depends who you ask, right? i mean, the eagles don't think so and their fans don't think so. um, it's a physical game and they've they've come up with a method of advancing the ball that is very effective. and clearly nobody else is as good at it as them or as good at defending it as maybe they should be. so, i mean, that's why their head coach is is really kind of miffed that they're trying to ban it. um, you know, it's a physical game and it's become a part of the game. everybody else maybe just needs to do better.
12:56 pm
