you called yourself the "un-carrier". you sing about "price lock" on those commercials. "the price lock, the price lock..." so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. annual maximum for all the details, visit dental now.com, positions, mutual physicians, mutual cnn saturday mornings
5:01 am
starting next on cnn first of all, if the point of the effort to disqualify fani willis from the georgia election subversion case was delay. then the trump team could count. this is a win. there had been weeks of hearings and judge says he'll rule within another two weeks, but each side accuses the other of using the race car. today, the future of the case, and the relevance of race was i speak to a mayor who met with his cities gang leaders to negotiate a ceasefire. a local activist says, this is a quote, the real killers angle i want to talk. why does the mayor think this will work? and the oprah effect meets the ozempic craze. hear from experts on what her departure from weightwatchers just means for the company and what it might tell us about the business of weight loss. now, i'm victor blackwell. >> let's start the show we
5:02 am
start here in atlanta with fulton county district attorney fani willis. the judge says that he'll decide within two weeks whether willis will be disqualified from trump's georgia election subversion case. the attorney is trying to kick willis off the case, use their closing arguments to argue that the appearance of a conflict of interest is enough >> she put her boyfriend in the spot, paid him, and then reap the benefits from it that she created the system and then didn't tell anybody about it. she didn't even tell her dad about it >> these people, your honor, is a systematic misconduct they need to go >> the lawyers for the da's office insists that there is no conflict of interest here it is desperate. it's in a desperate
5:03 am
attempt to remove a prosecutor from a case with for absolutely no reason. your honor. >> other than harassment and embarrassment >> robert james is here to talk about this. he's the former district attorney for dekalb county, which is right next door to fulton county, are good to have you this morning. it's good to be here. all right. so there was no legal analyst. i spoke with if or watched on this network who thought before the closing arguments that fani willis would be disqualified from this case based on what you heard yesterday, has that changed for you >> not entirely. >> there is a slim chance based off of the argument that it's not just a real conflict, which i don't believe they've established, but there's parents of a conflict and the judge has articulated through his questions that you know, that she could be disqualified because of the appearance of a conflict, not actually a qanon. and you think he'd consider
5:04 am
that just the appearance would be enough? well, he could consider that. i don't know if he will and i don't think anyone knows if he will. but the case law in georgia suggest that that is possible. >> let's get to this as it's known, the church speech. da willis went to a local church. this was after the motion or she was notified of the motion and she spoke about the focus on one of the three attorneys that she hired, who we now no. is nathan wade. let's play it and then what one of the defense attorney said about that. okay >> first thing they say oh, she won't play the ways. now but no. >> isn't >> playing the race car when they only question want she chose to deflect and to do two things that are rep. three, hansel for any lawyer, but particularly for prosecutor she chose to pull out the race card
5:05 am
and the god card. that's what she did. and she wrote it out >> so what do you think about invoking race? she at that point knew why they were focused on nathan wade. it wasn't about race, it was about a romantic relationship well, i don't know if it was smart. i don't know if it was appropriate, but i do know that it doesn't amount to forensic misconduct specifically when you're looking at forensic misconduct and conversations and context of conversations had publicly about a case, you have to imply or the state that a defense and it is innocent or guilty. in other words, you have to comment on the innocence or guilt of accused. >> do you think race is relevant at all in this case? well, look, races. i don't think you can talk about the american criminal justice system without at least considering race or discussing race, should those jurors make decisions based on very various reasons that are motivated by race. often, however, do i think that it's a direct issue
5:06 am
or do i think it's a central issue? i don't think it's a central issue, but but i think it's going to come into play at some point. >> let me ask you about it. you talked about the jury. >> would you keep or >> should da willis keep nathan wade on this team considering his role over the last several weeks in this hearing about potential conflict of interests absolutely not. >> well, look, it's a massive distraction. we've already spent the last several weeks talking about everything, but the guilt or innocence of the individuals that char is in the indictment about the mirror to the case we've spent the last several weeks talking about her relationship with assistant da he nathan wade. and so leave him in the case to jurors cannot watch the evidence without watching him. and when they watch him, they're not going to be thinking about the evidence are going to be thinking about the relationship. and so no, it's the distraction is to distracting, assuming that they survived his motion, he needs to go thinking through the
5:07 am
y-deer process of trying to narrow down to get a jury. would you ask about this? would you have to ask the potential jurors what they think about potential relationship between the prosecutor and the da. and if they watch, you have to get into all this mud. you had better ask about in a case like this are going to send out juror questionnaire is most likely. and so before the jurors even come down to fulton county courthouse, so he had questionnaires in the mail and they had better address that. i mean, ultimately, it's the 10,000 pound gorilla in the corner, right? and if it's not addressed, it's going to come back and destroy you all right. >> former dekalb county da robert james. thanks so much for coming in this morning. thank you >> the mayor of memphis is taking and unusual approach to bring down violent crime in the city. he's talking to criminals or alleged criminals in some cases this week, memphis mayor paul young announced that he met face-to-face with some of the highest ranking gangs leaders in the city. uh, here's the
5:08 am
context to keep in mind more than 45,000 people in memphis between the ages of 16.24 are either out-of-school or out of work nearly half of them live in poverty. that's according to a non-profit in the city. the meeting was put together by community activists who say more gangs have formed and something has to change what i think has happened is that we progressive leucine new gains, formalize. this is not the traditional area of where you just have four or five gangs. are you able to? let's talk to four or five individuals? we have hybrid gangs and you're talking about these gangs are popping up in various communities >> joining me now is memphis mayor paul young, mr. mayor, thank you for being with me. this is really interesting now, i will say you're not the first to do this, but you've only been on the job for a couple of months? >> right? it local media has covered this and there have been some passionate and mixed reactions to this. why did you
5:09 am
do it? >> well? i think is really, really important for us to engage the subjects of our conversation when we are talking about change in our community, our city has had a big issue around our crime over the last couple of years. and it's been top of mind for everyone. and i thought that it was really important for us to not just have dialogues about how to change the community in our board rooms, but we ought to take it to the streets. we've got to talk to the people that are actually engaged in activity. and what came out of the conversation is that they want to be a part of since i had that dialogue and since the media has announced it, there are other that have reached out to me saying they want to meet and figured out how they can be part of what we're trying to create >> in the years that i've interviewed former gang members, i'll say it's not that they're aspiring to criminal activity. what they want is to belong, what they want is to provide what they want is protection, what they wanted some purpose and some
5:10 am
place somewhere so how do you provide that to these young people who are now in gangs >> well, when we had the conversation, i mean, it was it really just kinda took me by surprise. how heartfelt some of their requests were and i will say that this was just a conference it wasn't a negotiation, but they were telling me what they thought needed to happen in their communities to change we've had an epidemic of car break-ins and what they said was that our young guys just need something to do. they steal cars because it's funny, because there's a lack of activities in their community. they need ways to earn income and we that inspired me to think about how we can change our programs. and then the last thing that i thought was really compelling. they said, well, if people in our neighborhood saw you, if they, if they actually got a chance to talk to you face-to-face and direct. you can change their perspective. this so that taught me the power of mentor-ship. and so
5:11 am
the things that our community needs aren't new it just, it's just something that we have to lean into and make happen. >> i want you to listen to a community activist. there who spoke to okay. we have the full screen here. let's put it up. this was the quote from a community activists there who says, i'm going to tell you the truth about something. the real killers angle and want to talk. they got to understand how much bloodshed has been out here. it's going to take real people from the streets to reach the real killers and to that you say what? >> i agree. i mean, i want to talk to any and everybody and i noted it's going to take more than talk but at the end of the day, we have to start somewhere. i firmly believed that we're going to have to have a balanced approach for public safety, one in which we hold people accountable. and there are some people that we don't have to go take do the criminal justice system. but there are many others that if we can intervene and change their lives now, we can make a
5:12 am
big difference in our community >> k darrelle cowen, you know his name. he's the community activist. we heard from just a couple of minutes before we came to you, who helped broker the meeting? he told my team that these aren't the citywide gangs of people think crips and bloods and it's just two sides going at each other. he estimated 40 to 50 neighborhood gangs and school gangs and clicks across memphis. and that some start looking up to these gangs at 8.9 years old you have a budget to put together over the next couple of months. how will that and having to focus on the other end, not the hierarchy, but those those children who are starting out influence how you spend your money in memphis i mean we had a budget retreat yesterday with our city council and we are all committed to finding ways to put resources towards supporting those >> organizations that are changing the lives of our young people and we have a couple of
5:13 am
months to get it done, but we are all committed to it. we're going to find those resources and make the investments necessary. >> really quickly. you went in asking for not negotiations, but asked for a seven-day ceasefire. did you get it >> from the ones that were there? we didn't see any any shootings from those, and so we're going to keep the dayo. this is going to be living dialogue. we're not talking any and all well, keep pushing it. >> memphis mayor paul young, i wish you success in the effort. thank you so much. heads up for tomorrow night on cnn. could tennessee's political battles foreshadow what's down the road for the rest of the country. van jones travels to tennessee to investigate on a new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper. that's tomorrow. died at eight, coming up the humanitarian crisis in gaza and impact of the way changing one specific group is feeling about the crisis how the us is handling. >> plus >> the step department of education is now taking in the

5:19 am
wants israel to do more to get aid to civilians. and this week, we saw arab americans send president biden the message that they feel he's not addressing the humanitarian crisis enough with notable number of voting uncommitted in michigan's primary but they're not the only key part of the coalition. he'll need to read to get on his side for reelection. that may be feeling a bit alienated. surveys also show how black americans increasingly sympathize with palestinians and are against sending israel more aid here to talk about this is christopher shell. he's a fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace, which has surveyed black americans on the conflict. christopher good to see you and first for people who are asking, well, why are we talking only about black americans? well, for the democratic party for a democratic president, there is no demographic that is more reliable than black voters beyond age, beyond region income education, religion, black voters are reliable for a democratic president. he's going to need them. so let's start here. after what we saw,
5:20 am
the shooting and the more than 100 deaths at that aid food aid station in gaza city. how do events like that impact? the black support for this war and for this president >> exactly. you bring up a really good point. african americans are a significant voting bloc for the democratic party. so it's important that the administration tunes into how african americans are thinking about us foreign policy and biden's handling the gaza situation from my survey, we already saw well before a casualties mounted, a plurality of respondents who are black said that they support a ceasefire, something like 46%. so well before these casualties, the number of casualties mounted, there already was a feeling that african americans, like to see some form of caution shown with the situation in gaza. would that already being already being the case? and then we see three african american service
5:21 am
members killed in jordan as a result of biden's policy, where we're starting to see a shift in how the folks are starting to interpret how biden's handling this situation. and then we have the 1,000 black pastors who have now signed on, and we both know that the black church plays a critical role in influencing black political consciousness. so the 1,000 pastors i've been signed on and then more importantly as well, young voters history has shown us that with any political movement, it is the youth. and my survey also showed that young voters under 30 with 33% more likely to feel worse about biden. so these are all really important inflection points that are showing that then these would be some attention paid to how the black community is viewing this conflict. so we >> know that one black people know demographic as a monolith, right? and voters vote on more
5:22 am
than one thing is there any indication of where this ranks >> definitely. that's a really good point. so we've been other work at the carnegie endowment that shown that black voters, like most americans, vote on domestic issues. so we know that it's the economy but there's something particular here when it comes to black voters. they vote in particular on racial issues. and we've also seen that in decades past for black voters, when it comes to racial equality is not just a domestic issue, it also extends internationally. we can go down the list of black activists who see the palestinian struggle for self-determination through the lens of the black fight for equality domestically. so if i had to give an answer, i would definitely say that yes, racial equality, economic equality are up there. but when it comes to humanitarian in the respect of human rights globe hopefully that is something that definitely registers high for black voters, because i will argue that in some way ties
5:23 am
into this fight for racial equality >> we know that the uncommitted movement that we saw in michigan is moving ahead to super tuesday in colorado, for instance, they have a non-committed option now on the ballot and there's an effort to get people to vote for that as well. but will these voters come back ultimately, once it is one-on-one trump versus biden. and democrats see that if you don't vote for president biden, your alternative is president trump. and what they believed, what we know about him well, the eventually come back to support the president, anyhow i would definitely say, you know, by and large, the majority of black voters are going to vote for the democratic party. they're going to vote for, for president biden. i mean, the survey even show that 65% of black voters in my survey respondent and said that they feel the same about president biden. now, mind you, that was in october. so you know the
5:24 am
we're now we've now touching the six month mark in the war. so that may change a bit by would definitely say that for the vast majority of black voters, maybe about half, though this conflict probably is not going to, in some way sway them to say, okay, i'm not going to now vote for president and biden. but once again, like i was saying earlier, i do think that the young demographic, those under 30, will play a critical role. so they answer your question. i would say they have. we'd see i mean the election is some months away, so we see a change like we were saying earlier, about a ceasefire. we if we start seeing some change in the posture towards israel, that may in some way can pull black voters back. >> griffith show thank you so much for the research. thank coming up a rare case of a first responder facing justice as the first of two paramedics convicted in the death of elijah mcclain, his sentence
5:25 am
>> tomorrow van jones. it's home to find out what is driving the divide in tennessee politics. >> there has been a very active 20 to 30 year effort to separate us. >> the whole story with anderson cindy hooper tomorrow at eight on cnn >> meet normally, these bar jack russell and pardon, tornado meet the bissell cross wave hydro steam. its part vacuum bomb, steamer, and turn nato chaser. this on a new breed clean. >> what if you could whiten your teeth by simply brushing your teeth? now, you can, with smile actives, the teeth whitening breakthrough that safely gets your teeth white and keeps them white every day just by brushing your teeth? >> i never thought that whitening my teeth it'd be so easy. i just put the gel on the brush, the toothpaste on it, brush and i can see my white teeth simply add smile actives to any toothpaste and our patented polykleitos technology act debates into a powerful
5:26 am

5:29 am
>> sentenced to five years in prison. this was over the death of elijah mcclain, and we've been following the trials of those convicted in the twenty-three-year-old to death after he was detained by police in colorado and injected with ketamine peter to kuliak pleaded for the minimum sentence, which he got, and he spoke about it in mcclain's death in court, watch this i'm very sorry that elijah is no longer with us. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart mrs. mcclain tragically lost a son and we also lost a patient and i don't take that lightly. >> mcclain's mother, sheneen culture kuliak's sentencing the bare minimum. watch this >> if they were doing their jobs in the first place, elijah was still be alive they got there and waited for the tournament to end. they didn't intervene. they didn't call foul. they did nothing to stop the brutality of my son. and then even worse, they injected him with something that would
5:30 am
completely kill him. if elijah, he survived, he went not remember what happened to him because academy they attempted to do exactly what they did. they are competent to my son's murder >> the other paramedic in the case is scheduled to be sentenced april 26. there's an update in the death of nex benedict that's the indigenous oklahoma high school student with family and friends say identified find as non binary and died a day after that, they were involved in a fight with other students at school. now, it's not clear if or how the fight contributed to nex's death, but the us department of education has now opened an investigation into whether the public school system they're appropriately responded the two reported harassment. the probe comes after the human rights campaign filed a complaint in a statement, the owasso school district says the complaint is without merit. joining me now is the president of the human rights campaign, kelley
5:31 am
robinson, kelly. thank you for being with me this morning. what are you hoping to learn from this? investigation >> we are hoping for accountability from this investigation. look what happened to next is heartbreaking. it is devastating. we're talking about a 16-year-old kid that was harassed and bullied at school for over a year, then they were beaten brutally and a bathroom sent home without medical care and died a day later. i've been on the ground in oklahoma and i've seen a community that is really a community that is grieving and a community that's demanding justice. >> this department of >> education complaint that we sent, we are glad that was acknowledged with filing for a formal investigation because what i hear from that statement from the school district is that they're more focused on covering their tails then looking at what is important than looking at what is happening in the school and doing their job. it is their job to create an environment that is safe and welcoming for all students, especially lgbtq plus students, in that did not happen. >> i wonder after you heard
5:32 am
this story, what was most concerning to you about the schools risk response >> it is just so gut wrenching to me, especially as a parent, because what i saw on the school's response was then not doing their job, the adults in this situation did not protect that kid in the way that they deserved and the way that next deserved. >> and look, we have to look more broadly to understand what happened to next, you have to understand what's happening in oklahoma. oklahoma is leading the pack and anti lgbtq plus legislation passing everything from gender affirming care bans to anti-trans bathroom bands to try to get book bans across the finish line and on top of that, you have politicians, adults who are making a business out of harassing lgbtq plus youth, you had an oklahoma republican state representative who said val to be tq plus people were filth. you have a superintendent, ryan walters, who's gone out of his way to herat to create an environment
5:33 am
of harassment for lgbtq plus youth from attacking teachers who are affirmed forming of the queer and trans and non-binary kids in their classrooms to appointing a libs of tiktok co-founder to be on a state advisory board, someone who does not even live in the state. this is about next, but it's about so much more right now, what we're calling on is a full demand for justice here, because we have to make sure that next his life is honored, but also to stop the systemic harassment that's happening to too many lgbtq plus kids in the state. >> you mentioned the bathroom politics here, and you note in your letter to the department of education, the next is fan said that they first began being bullied after the oklahoma governor signed the bill forbidding trans youth from using restrooms consistent with their gender identity do you think things would be different here if next would have been able to use the restroom of their choice what
5:34 am
we're seeing here is systemic. and i think what i really want to be clear about is that these laws, these anti-lgbtq plus laws have moved in oklahoma, but are moving in too many states, are contributing to a culture of hate and that hate too often has deadly consequences. the human rights campaign declared a national state of emergency because of all the anti-lgbtq plus bills, we've seen across the country already 400 bills attacking our community have been introduced just this year and it is barely the beginning of march. we have to do something to stop this onslaught of hate, this onslaught of attacks and my community, and it starts here. it starts by having real accountability in owasso, real accountability for some of the bad actors that are creating an environment where this is possible, folks like superintendent ryan walters, who we are calling for his removal kelly robinson with the human rights campaign. i thank you so much for your time and we will watch this
5:35 am
investigation closely >> coming up. >> latino students at one university say dangerous rhetoric about migrants and crime is leading to an increase in threats they're scared and we saw the impact of that when we were preparing to tell you this story on the show today, and we'll explain how next there is sorry, peter, >> about your father father-in-law. >> thank >> you. well, that's a little better >> you have no harm, no soul. >> curb your enthusiasm. >> streaming exclusively on max, your record label is taking off. but so is your sound engineer. you need to hire a new indeed. >> indeed, >> you do indeed instant match, instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description visited deep.com slash hire. >> bob, i call nato chest congestion. hello, 12 hours of relief

remember the dynamic we were living in in the late teens in this country, where you had president of the united states beacon in the most vile terms about people who were foreign born and you had that notion metastasizing in places like charlottesville >> you're the mayor. they referenced charlottesville at a protestor shouted, this is an invasion. while students say they've seen anti-latino rhetoric circulating on campus, and some say they'd been confronted told to go back to their countries and a joint statement both uga's hispanic student association and campus latino mentoring organization, least though they released a statement and they say the hurtful and discriminatory comments made following the tragic loss of one of our own have deeply shaken us all such grief should not be made use for racism, hatred, or xenophobia. but since riley was killed, there has been a new push in the georgia legislature for stricter immigration enforcement laws. it's a big story on campus at uga right

5:43 am
acknowledging the issue, she said they should definitely finally speak on it and say that it's not okay. maybe they're afraid it would take away from the bigger issue going on, but they should be saying that they see what's going on instead of ignoring it. another student told us this, the fact that they're staying silent is very, very upsetting and it's telling and i love uga, it's a great school, but right now, it really sucks to be a latino student here they're afraid and someone should say something coming up next. the mayor major impact, i should say on wall street and the weight-loss industry after weightwatchers loses its most famous backer, oprah this is the joy for me >> i love >> greg >> die, i'm not guilty. >> i am resigning administration officials destroyed my cover. >> politics great power meets

5:49 am
company is hard. let's talk about the health angle here. and the business anchor angle here with dr. alicia shelly, a primary care physician and obesity medicine specialist, and rachel cohen know a base, a reporter for the atlanta business chronicle. welcome to you both. okay. dr. let me eca reactions i've heard to the headline was, of course is not i would wait watches anymore now, she's on ozempic. we don't know what she's on, but what is the headline for you as it relates to weight loss and hearing? this transition. and seeing the results. >> so it's unfortunate that the shares have dropped, but the one good thing about weightwatchers is that they are now actually going into weightwatchers clinic where they can actually allow their participants, their clients, to get glp-ones and other anti-obesity medications. so it has that accountability and tracking all and emit plus medications all in one service. so i think this is another way how the company is going to be
5:50 am
able to pivot into this new era of anti-obesity medications. >> and it's this. and because even in that people magazine article, what oprah said was she still follows the principles. she moves a lot more. she does a lot of walking, so it's not like get the shot every weekend you're good. >> exactly. you need to have lifestyle interventions. are the founders dacian of weight management. so it's important that you have both good lifestyle habits plus medications to help with weight loss. >> rachel, let's talk about the company and after she made that, if you look back at the chart that day, it went straight down. now, it's recovered a bit. what's this mean for weightwatchers? >> to be honest, the stock has been going down for years. this is not really critical news to the market. if we're looking at it, this is the news is the oprah graft. that is the headline because weightwatchers has been done for a matter of years yeah. >> and we've seen the same thing. i mean, neutral system has some challenges as well. jenny craig filed for

5:52 am
for a little while. i think stock prices got up to or above $10. and now it's back under four. >> yeah. >> i truly it's just one of those things where weightwatchers has truly struggled and this is like the dr. said a chronic condition that people are going to struggle with for lifelong issues and it is while this may be a trend is something that we are going to see in the markets for a long time and they're going to be several. they're going to be several rivals to these pills through these drugs coming out in the market is going to continue to react and they're going to continue to react when things like this happen, what i felt found interesting was that goldman sachs estimates that these drugs could boost the economy by $1 in four >> years with people who are being prescribed this with eventually one out of two people in america being
5:53 am
described as obese. let me read from that. oprah article and people magazine that we've talked about in december, she said this, i realized i'd been blaming myself all these years were being overweight and i have a predisposition that no amount of willpower is going to control obesity is a disease it's not about willpower, it's about the brain. do you agree with that? that it's not about willpower, it's not about only if i just ate right and exercise. >> i hundred percent agree. this is in medicine. we used to tell people eat less and move more but what we've found is that obesity is a chronic disease. and as multi-factorial , it can be environmental, it can be genetic, it can be medical. and so what she was sharing is what many people need to hear because we blame ourselves, we fat shame ourselves. but in actuality, it's more than just willpower ladies. thank you so much >> all right. still ahead. a new york teenager is flying after becoming one of the
