jason carroll, cnn, dearborn, michigan. >> jason, thank you. just ahead, why costars and now netflix are withdrawing support for the star of emilia pÉrez, this year's most nominated film at the oscars. you're in the cnn. >> newsroom. >> the last thing you think is someone's going to pass away. >> everybody watched him become this force. >> none of us is perfect. nobody lived. >> it in a. way that the world watched. >> the finale of kobe the making of a legend tonight at nine on cnn. >> hey, hon, i. >> found our new car. >> on carvana already. >> i want to do some. >> research. >> torque or horsepower. >> for this? >> oh, great. return policy. i found it. >> great minds are. >> by your car on carvana today. >> and power. so handsome. >> i think. oh. >> i can't buy this. >> whoa, whoa. you're in power. investment account has grown. you earned it. so. oh. >> get good at money so you can be a little. >> bad. >> and power. >> let the conclave begin. >> why do i. >> feel. >> like a cow being priced by the farmer? >> the new york times raves. it's eve

and dearborn with me. now put some numbers to the story.nn senior data reporter harry enten, generally speaking, has there been much of an appetite in the u.s. for to get involved in rebuilding gaza? no, no, there has not been. look, we. >> have. >> no new polling since last night. right. polling works fast and it doesn't work that fast. but in the polling that we had prior. that was taken towards the middle end of last year, what we saw was the overwhelming majority of americans oppose the idea that the united states should take a lead role in reconstructing gaza. you can see it right there. 57% opposed, just 37% support. and what i should note is the support was lowest among trump's own base of republicans. so the idea that this is going to sell among the american people at large or the republican base, simply put, he definitely wasn't looking at the polls before he went out there and made a statement that was heard around the world because of how crazy it sounded to most people. how did palestinians view president trump during his first

but he is shocking us with how worse he can be. >> reporter: here in dearborn, michigan, the democrat usually wins. but last november, president trump captured more than 40% of the vote to vice president harris' 36%. part of her loss was due to people not voting for either major party. sablani says he didn't vote for anyone, but blames democratic candidates for the rare results. >> the vote for trump was not really a vote for trump. it's a vote against the biden administration, because they could not stop the carnage that'shappening in gaza. >> reporter: if you were to give president trump a grade for how he is handling gaza and middle east, what would it be? >> i would say like a "c" plus. >> reporter: college senior sarah shaban voted for trump. she says she gasped when she saw his remarks. >> i was disappointed, but i also wasn't surprised. i would say i kind of find it hard to believe that he would actually implement what he is saying. >> reporter: do you regret voting for him? >> a little bit, yeah. but then i thought about it, and there is a ceasefire now. and i wasn't sure ther

the city of dearborn, michigan, is home to the largest population of arab americans in the u.s., andf them did not support kamala harris in the 2024 presidential election because of the biden administration's support for israel in its war against hamas. cnn's jason carroll talked to voters the day after president trump proposed a u.s. takeover of gaza. >> days before the last. >> presidential election, donald trump was the invited guest at the great commoner restaurant in dearborn, michigan. albert abbas says he extended that invitation, a decision he is now reflecting on. given all that has happened in the last 24 hours. >> many in the. >> community are at a loss for words. last night was a very rough night for most of us. >> abbas is arab american and one of a number of democrats who voted for trump. abbas says he hoped trump would do more than president joe biden did to help palestinians suffering in gaza. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip. >> but after trump said palestinians should leave gaza so it can be redeveloped, abbas says not only does he feel betrayed, he's heari

while trump visited dearborn and filled a community in despair with lies. now, of course, she goes on to talk about other aspects, saying that she felt sad and angry and scared for her communities, and for months they had warned about the dangers of trump at home and abroad. but our calls fell on deaf ears. this is the statement that they're making. this is pointing the finger at number one. also, it's going to invite democrats to try to understand what is wanted of them to do now. >> yeah, i think democrats, again, they have to sort of rebuild their coalition and figure out what they stand for and who their leader is. and one thing that donald trump did really well in the election, and it's the reason why he won, is because he went to these people and he talked to them and he was seen over kamala harris and the the incumbent administration as somebody who would solve all of these issues. he was successful in making that argument. and now, of course, when you talk about this particular proposal, when it comes to gaza, there's still more questions than answe

. >> john king, what about the dearborn street? i mean, where do you see u.s. domestic politics at play here? >> well, there are a lot of democrats saying, i told you so to their muslim friends in dearborn and in hamtramck who couldn't vote for president biden. and many of them, some of them voted for president trump. some of them stayed home. so there will be a domestic political fallout here. but john, i think this is just much bigger than that. you have a president of the united states saying he will forcibly resettle people who live on land. the international community says is theirs. it's a violation of international law. it's a favor to his friend benjamin netanyahu, but it runs counter to american policy. you showed george w. bush and joe biden and barack obama. it goes back before that as well. for an american president who's supposed to be the beacon of democracy to the world, saying, look, it hasn't worked. so i don't think it's your land anymore. sorry. you got to go, and i'm going to take it over. um, i have a few already from some european ambassad

trump won the arab american stronghold of dearborn, michigan, and the entire state with the help of arabsupporters who had thoughts like this at the ballot, at the ballot box. >> i feel like. >> he's given us hope. i feel like, you know, all his talking points throughout his campaign about peace and prosperity for everyone and the ability to resolve conflicts. >> the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, credited trump yesterday for pushing forward the long awaited ceasefire deal. trump, however, now proposing a plan for gaza that went unmentioned during his michigan rallies. >> the u.s. will take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it, too. we'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. level it out. create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. this was not a decision made lightly. everybody i've spoken to loves the idea of the united states owning that piece of land. >> joining m

they would have gone to the dearborn coffee shop and listened to voters. a 20-point difference in certain towns in michigan between the cycle and the cycle before. this is a cohort where two out of three people have values aligned with the democratic party. so it's not a disconnect in terms of values or issues. carissa: but they are not going to poll and listen to everybody either. it is who do we deem important to win. we don't do that. we didn't do that this time. i know that when we did poll people in our base, it was towards the end at a time when you couldn't turn anything around, so there's an obsession -- it's like a game we are playing. how are we going to get the ungettable? tad: did you have something? >> mike, go ahead. >> young people obviously are important but i will tell you from the midwestern perspective we cannot ignore the other elephant in the room, which as we have been hemorrhaging working-class voters. when bob was working for ted kennedy and i was working for john glenn, it was not just ohio that was a quintessential swing state but

there were some people talking about how he showed up to dearborn, and he said that he was going to protect muslim americans and palestinian people. but yet he was also telling his buddies that he found this to be a prime location for real estate development. i'm paraphrasing some of the things that he said, and so it is extremely inhumane, and it actually puts the onus back on people who actually care about these issues and want a two state solution. how are they going to engage in this administration and hold them their feet to the fire and tell them that this is not what we want? and also republicans, how are you going to get the backbone to stand up to this? >> and also we see reporting yesterday from the miami herald footnote support your local journalism that there's been a deal struck between maduro and venezuela to take hundreds of thousands of deportees, venezuelans who supported trump in south florida being upset, saying, we feel like we've been tricked. but, you know, valencia. in exchange, maduro may have criminal indictments dropped. his oil will be able to be made available to

dearborn, michigan. of course, the home of of of a lot of arab americans. just look at this swing. donald trump won there by more than six percentage four years earlier. joe biden won by 39 percentage points. so my question now is when the democrats who were saying, okay, you might not be thrilled with our policy in the middle east, but wait till this guy gets in office. um, you know, there's a lot of i told you so going on in democratic, right. >> well, that was the frustration because the democrats couldn't get it across that okay, you may be angry with the president, president joe biden at that point, but trump will be ten times worse. he's going to be the best friend of the israeli far right parties in the coalition that there's ever been. but the problem is this is politics and this is emotion. and that is a logical argument. but for the people that were voting against joe biden and who voted uncommitted, this wasn't a logical question. it was a question of humanity and an emotion. they saw their brethren dying in massive numbers in gaza, and that in itself was enough to cast

. >> i'm jason carroll in dearborn. >> michigan. >> and this. >> is. >> cnn. >> i was in the east room at the white house today during the press conference between the japanese prime minister ishiba and president trump, the two leaders met face to face for the first time in what the japanese side was viewing as a high stakes meeting, given trump's personal relationships with other world leaders often dictate his foreign policy towards their country. in a telling moment, the new prime minister described what it was like to meet trump. as you can see nearby, the u.s. president was smiling from ear to ear. >> for many, many years i have watched him on television, so it. >> was quite. >> i was so excited to see such a celebrity on television to see in. person. on television. he is. a frightening and he has a very strong personality. but when i met. >> with him. >> actually, he was very sincere and very powerful and. >> with strong. >> will. >> now, the japanese leader said he wasn't trying to suck up to trump when he said that. but as we have seen before, flattery certainly helps, especial

dearborn, the nation's largest arab american community. trump won in the last election.s we reported earlier, my colleague reported earlier, this group, arab americans for trump, has changed the name to arab americans for peace. in response to this gaza gaza agreement. do you find do you are you meeting voters in michigan who regret their vote for trump based on this issue? >> yeah, i mean, certainly if they're regretting it, they're not coming and telling me about it. but i think, you know, this was the point we were trying to make ahead of time. you know, people were hurting. they were in pain. they had family members who were suffering. and so it made them, you know, very intense about their vote. we tried to make the point that, like, we get that there is frustration, but what you're electing is not going to be any better. and in fact could be much worse. and i think that's what we're seeing now. but i think the pain and the emotion in these issues was driving people to a place that just wasn't as practical as i think we're now seeing. >> senator elissa slotkin, we d

and dearborn, michigan, which is so deeply offended by joe biden's policy in the middle east.just silence. isn't it something? yeah, we'll we'll we'll let we'll let others try to figure that out. frank. for we'll see if that constitutional crisis comes. i will say, if that constitutional crisis does come. and he says to john roberts, you and what army? that would be a constitutional crisis of the first order. so we won't presume that that's going to happen though, though it could. let's let's instead though, get back to where we are right now. i've heard from a lot of people inside of washington attorneys. i've heard from people on the hill. their feeling is that that right now donald trump is just flooding the zone and you know, yeah, we'll throw out birthright citizenship. we'll do, you know, we'll defund agencies that congress is authorized for. we're going to throw everything at the wall and just try to overwhelm our opponents, just try to overwhelm the courts, and just, again, test the boundaries of executive power, which is, as mika said, exactly what donald trump said h

and i've been into mosques, i grew up in dearborn, michigan. i grew up around every kind of faith person there is, i have friends of every kind of faith, but i've never in my life heard a reverend speak like you. you sound like a cnn commentator, that is how bad you sound. and i don't know who you are trying to win over. obviously maybe a few people who i have heard call in to thank you, you are leading the charge against donald trump. i mean, it's just ridiculous. you sound ridiculous. host: paul brandeis raushenbush, i will give you a chance to respond. guest: i'm sorry if it comes off hateful, and i would hate to think that i am being hateful. and i really don't hate anybody. i'm really trying to love people as best i can. and so i'm saying that directly to you, ma'am. i do think it is important to recognize that this is kind of what we saw against bishop budde, who i know is not a radical, but she said something truthful from her tradition to donald trump. and people said, oh, it was full of hate. if you listened to that, asking for mercy i

caltrain in the proposed standard gauge rail crossing of the the bay and planned and infrastructure at dearborn station and seeing this as a big part of the vision of our climate goals going forward we have translated that momentum into a request that in the next couple of fiscal years we will need funding to complete some of this design and engineering and that was heard and received with a thank you for the clarity and that is within the realm of possibility both by the agencies, by the state delegation and by the governor's office directly. so we've been fairly clear and i take your point that these types of presentations and charts kind of clarify that need so that we are taking advantage of our moment in time and the federal investment to finally deliver this project. thank you. this is a great presentation and looking forward to having this in our monthly reports and perhaps quarterly updates and hopefully not more often than that given the turbulence that's going on right now. any other questions directors vice chair go ahead. >> i mean well i mean i just it's sort of you know, let's you

considered such a huge win for benjamin netanyahu, and not quite as big of a win for those voters in dearborn were so bad on the palestinian question, but that donald trump would be far better. >> sure. yeah. >> i mean, among. >> other things, of course, if you're ridding gaza of all palestinians, which, by the way, if it's done forcibly is an international violation of international law. the convention says forcible relocations of a population like this would, would, would be illegal or war crime. you know, look, it's a way of, you know, getting rid of the idea of a two state solution, a palestinian state. what's the viable palestinian state if they don't even have gaza? they're certainly not going to be given the west bank or most of the west bank. so, you know, netanyahu came out of this meeting, you know, with pretty much everything he wanted, very clear that trump is not going to push him on the cease fire in terms of keeping that alive. if it means he's not going to have a chance to keep going after hamas, which he wants to do, didn't push him on west bank settlements. in fact, the oppo
