to -- the issue new regulations under hippa, the federal statute to protect patient records, issued new regulations to protect repetitive health services, it was a good attempt. there are still gaps. there are still gaps. the way they framed it was -- it protects reproductive health information that is lawful in the jurisdiction that the reproductive health services are accessed. in the cases we see, on pregnancy, it is predominantly pregnant patients who use substances who go to their doctors asking for help to get pre-natal care, to get treatment, and than they are reported to law enforcement. or they are reported to the family policing systems. the policing system. it is not clear that these new regulations actually help in these cases. and then now with the loper decision, what is going to happen to those regulations? all of these things are very interconnected. you have fewer privacy protections as a pregnant person, either because of bias or because medical professionals, hospitals believe mandatory reports for childhood abuse and neglect just based on a positive screen, which is not a parenting test. a drug test is not a parenti

it includes support for raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, making the child tax credit permanent, and protections for ivf and abortion services for women. and don't forget our anchor, ryan yamamoto is in chicago for us. he'll bring us live coverage of the 2024 democratic national convention, starting at 5:00 all week long this afternoon, former president donald trump he's in pennsylvania to deliver remarks on the economy. and it's all part of his blitz of visits to battleground states right now. taking a first look, look at whether you're at home. we're in for a bit of a warm up in the bay area. meteorologist zoe mintz tracking it from our virtual studio >>>happy monday. we are in for a slightly warmer day of weather all across the bay area, as the onshore flow is not necessarily as strong as what it was. this weekend. over the past weekend, we saw quite a lot of cloud coverage, fog, misty conditions. today, a lot of those winds have quieted down just a bit. no longer seeing that small craft advisory offshore either. this afternoon we're seeing wind gusts anywhere from ten to maybe 20 miles an hour. let's take off those winds

he will do what he believes is best and those that are sworn to protect them, local law enforcement, federal law enforcement, secret servicehe target of many threats. and i hate to be the bearer of bad news but this will not be the last time that this will happen until the election and going forward. i believe that there are many threats going on behind the scene that individuals never know about because it is eliminated by law enforcement and they are able to tracked on the individuals. i know what the fbi we have threat to life squad and that's all they do. they focus on potential threatening posts online and what people may do whether it is threatening the president or blowing up a school. but this particular time right now is so important and critical and president trump, i trust that law enforcement is going to do everything in their power to make sure he is protected. >> sandra: i want to highlight what is on the screen as folks are wondering. it's not a clear shot but that is a shot of secret service snipers we are told perched on a crane to survey the area where trump is set to speak. we are told his motorcade and

[applause] when we are in office, we will make sure you have all the resources and protections you need to do your jobs and your service is respected and that you come home safe every night. we know exactly who built this country. it is people like the folks in this room, firefighters, police officers, construction trades, teachers, and nurses, and veterans who contributed their contributions to our nation long after they got out of military service. it was you who built the middle class. we know that when unions are strong, america is strong. [applause] look, this is the time of year that talk is cheap. but that is why vice president harris is proudly a part of the most prolabor administration in history, unafraid to walk picket lines with workers demanding better pay and conditions. that is why she rescued pensions, more than one million of our union brothers and sisters, workers and retirees, insisted prevailing wage jobs spring from federal investments. your construction brothers and sisters know that one. it is that same spirit that animated my fight or minnesota. as governor, i signed one of the biggest packages

rights and one of the worst parts is the notion of taking the civil service which has always been this protected, professional core of federal agency employees, experts, scientists, who do the work, that we need to keep us safe and keep our communities moving and to make them vulnerable to firing if they don't pass the loyalty test to donald trump. and maybe it's not donald trump, right, because project 2025 is written for the quote, next conservative president and if trump wins, a heartbeat away from him is jd vance, who we all know is a supporter of project 25. he is writing the introduction to the president of the author of the heritage foundation's book. this is the policy of the new administration. this notion that you could convert career civil servants to what is called schedule f employees and fire them if they are not sufficiently loyal to trump, is something that has to be raising eyebrows inside all of the agencies but especially the justice department, where there is a tradition that says if you are instructed to do something, that you believe you are not permitted to do, you can do a couple of things, first, you

one, to integrate the armed services of the united states, a major, major thing. and the second to protect federalloyees from discrimination in the workplace. now, the south, the south knew that unlike roosevelt i think truman really meant it. and so they the -- 12 southern states abandoned the democratic party, formed a states' rights party or the dixiecrats. truman and his campaign advisers knew that they were going to lose a lot of votes. and so their strategy was to actually mobilize the the black vote. obviously, can't do it in the south, but throughout the rest of the country. and so three, three major african-americann- advocates -- activists stepped forward to work on this, and they were largely ignored by truman biographers. thefi first two were james thankstack, the publish of the chicago defender, and the second was william dawson, an actual u.s. congressman from chicago. the chicago defender was a black newspaper. and the two of them formed the citizens' committee, the citizens' committee to reelect truman. and it was the going to be focused on black america. and then dawson recruited

so the secret service, they're primary goal is to protect the president and because of that, they really have the weight of the federal government behind them. so with trump, they're now doing things like adding ballistic glass at all of his outdoor rallies now, while they used to depend on the department of defense to ply that ballistic glass in. they now have to ordinate have they're going to put that in place for trump. there also adding more agents to trump's detail and they're increasing the cellular connectivity so that they have a mobile system with them wherever they go, they don't have to depend on private networks. >> wow, thank you for your reporting on this truly extraordinary moment in history. i had the potential voter windfall on the way for the trump campaign after a surprising endorsement from rfk junior, you're in the cnn newsroom some are means millions flock to america's national parks. >> but nature can turn disastrous when tourists has crossed the line she started by my left leg. >> my initial thought was definitely in a dei the whole story with anderson cooper tomorrow at 8:00 on cnn with swab i

service protections. ok these are supposedly protections that stop an executive from being able to unilaterally fire somebody who is part of a federalmployee union or has special employee protections in the bureaucracy. we need to read the rules carefully. those employee protections protect against individual firings, they do not protect against mass layoffs. and mass firings are absolutely what we require to fix the washington, d.c. bureaucracy. if you had a president who came in on day one, treat this as a thought experiment for now, said if your social security number ends in an odd number, you are out, if it ends in an even number, you are in. round two, if your social security number starts with an even number, you are out, and it starts with an odd number, you are in. that's a mass headcount reduction across the bureaucracy, which is completely complying with the civil services protection because they do not protect against mass layoffs. does not protection for disparate impact on race, gender or political believe, no retaliatory suits, no civil-service claims. those are mass reductions in force. that existing legal authority

service has under their protection -- vips. these are really serious issues. the same thing is happening when you look at the border. in new york state, they don't allow our federaldetermine if we have criminals, criminal aliens and people in the midst of new york state who, by the way, get a license and go anywhere in the united states with this privilege. so we've got to work with together, and that's what i think the key is, is the make sure all agencies are onboard. and i'm sure they're going to get down to this in the committee to make sure they have a plan in place next time. just thank goodness we can't have the tragedy that could have happened, although we had a man, a young father who was killed needlessly, and this is also a tragedy. larry: yes, of courses. pat fallon to, a friend of mine, vietnam vet -- i believe he was a marine -- served in combat conditions. he's asking me how did this crazy, dumb can ass kid -- dumb ass kid get the rifle up onto the roof. has anyone answered that question in it strikes me as a good question. have you heard that question? has anyone answered that question, how did he get that rifle up there? >> larry, we have hundred

federal work force. anyone deemed to be a policy determining making or policy advocating position would be classified as a schedule f employee. as per trump's executive order, schedule f employees would lose civil service job protectionsome a lot easier. they would essentially become political appointees, hired and fired at the will of the president and possibly replaced by somebody who may not be equally or better qualified, but who won't question the trump administration's agenda or method of doing things. it is a system designed to reward loyalty over expertise. james sherk, who served in the trump white house and drafted the executive order said that his team quote, estimated the order would apply to about 50,000 employees in the executive branch out of 2.2 million. positions that could be lost by people loyal to the constitution of the united states and given to trump loyalists. some say that might even be a conservative estimate of the number of affected a place could be higher than that but because joe biden defeated donald trump in the 2020 election, because elections matter, schedule f never took effect. two days after biden took office, he revoked trump's executive order writing that not only was the patient
