tv   The Lead With Jake Tapper  CNN  March 14, 2024 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT

2:00 pm
>> welcome to the lean and jake tapper. this our brand new cnn reporting about the woman republicans nominated to run public schools for the entire great state of north carolina. cnn's kfile unearth a streak of social media posts linked to q and on calling for the murder of democrats and even suggesting thousands of chinese troops were pervade preparing to invade america to rig the election why wouldn't you want her in charge of educating the state's years plus speaking of dangerous conspiracy theories, new york jet aaron rodgers is responding kind of to reporting that we broke here yesterday on the lead with the nfl quarterback in the past has claimed and private conversation stations. the sandy hook massacre, in which 20 kids and six adults were viciously murdered was actually a government inside job, and the kids and the parents were all just actors. he said it to our own pamela brown, among others. how could he possibly defend such a thing will tell you next, then leading this hour, the top democrat in the us senate calls for bibi to go
2:01 pm
by bike today, senate majority leader chuck schumer, the highest ranking jewish official in american history. we should note it said that the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu and his far-right government have lost their way. and it's time for them to be removed from office >> as a lifelong quarter of israel is become clear to me the netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of israel after october 7, the world has changed radically. since then. and the israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past. >> the response from republican officials has been outraged senate minority leader mitch mcconnell called the comments grow task. while house speaker mike johnson called them inappropriate and wrong. let's get right to cnn's manu raju on capitol hill and manu, the republican response has been fast and furious. >> yeah, no question about it. remember, chuck schumer has
2:02 pm
been a in with bibi netanyahu for many years. in fact, when barack obama tried to get the iran nuclear deal get approval from congress. chuck schumer aligned himself with netanyahu, opposing obama's efforts here because it schumer has long been an israel hawk within his own party, but there has been growing and leave along the gaza strip to essentially pull back from some of the more aggressive efforts as part of this military campaign. and after chuck schumer called for netanyahu to essentially step aside for new elections, calling him an obstacle to peace, democrats have align themselves with schumer applauded him what he's that while republicans pushed back >> i think the current prime minister has to perhaps we think some of his approaches, especially on humanitarian aid, which i think has to be done more robustly than he has incurred. so i think there are
2:03 pm
reasons that israelis might want a different leader, and i think senator schumer has raised some of those reasons very powerfully and forcibly, what is leader schumer doing injecting himself israel, israel politics. again, i think it's just beyond the pale >> i'm very upset. i don't think that leader schumer should be inserting his ideas and throwing them at israel. or are in the middle of a war >> and of course, this all comes as aid to israel continues to be tied up in congress. it was wrapped up in a larger package and aid package that included aid to ukraine that ultimately pass the senate last month. it has not moved anywhere in the house over a separate debate over moving on ukraine, republican divisions over that. but today the speaker of the house mike johnson, told her colleague, melanie zanona that he may move on. a standalone bill to aid israeli he's tried that in the past and failed. you may try a different procedure to move that along a majority vote in
2:04 pm
the house. but jake, he has had a hard time getting republicans and lime so it's uncertain whether he will do that. but all of this leading to a fresh debate and questions about whether israel aid which can ultimately be approved given democratic opposition to the war that netanyahu is waging. >> all right, manu raju, thanks so much joining us to discuss beth center, the former deputy director of national intelligence and a cnn national security analyst. and beth, i mean, republican say, hey, look, chuck schumer is calling for regime change in israel, which is an ally. have you ever seen anything like it? >> it's hard to say, never, but it's not really very normal, i think. and honestly, i think it's kind of a geopolitical own goal our adversaries keep pushing and saying like, well the united states is interfering in your, in your internal politics. well kind of sounds that way to me. and in fact, maybe it won't actually reverberate in a way that this administration hopes could actually help netanyahu
2:05 pm
>> hell does say, i'm looking, look at me, i'm a victim or the the, the liberals in the united states don't understand what we're trying to do, gives him a foil besides hamas, especially because gantz was just here. benny gantz, his rival, his rival, who would win an election right now, if, if it was called and he was just given the red carpet treatment here and netanyahu is already using this as a talking point. look, gantz is with the americans and the americans are trying to impose diktat on us. and i'm the person is going to stand against a two-state solution against the united states. and gantz's with those guys. >> yeah, and that's when you whose party? the likud party is already responded saying schumer's undermining their leader through a democratic process >> and dance to just came in yeah, i'll he said that. yeah. yeah. since you were on he came out and said inappropriate inappropriate. interesting. listen to national security adviser jake sullivan earlier this week because he said something pretty stark about
2:06 pm
the ceasefire negotiations those, who would like to see a ceasefire in gaza. a ceasefire is on the table today for six weeks to be built on into something more enduring if hamas would simply release women, wounded, and elderly. and the fact that they will not do so says a lot to me about hamas's regard for innocent palace the nian civilians. >> i mean, that's accurate, israel, right? but it's almost as though the fact that hamas is a vicious terrorist group and doesn't actually care about the palestinian people. like they're happy to have millions of them die. they've said so on the record, it's almost like that's just baked in and people understand it and kind of like, let them off the hook in a way not american leaders, but like in the public discharge. >> sure. i mean, this is all understood where hamas is coming from, right? yeah. and, you know, absolutely correct ceasefire not happening because
2:07 pm
hamas, it's not in losses interests in war actually thinks he's winning. >> how does he think he is winner >> because it is dividing us, it is dividing israeli, the united states. it is creating more international exactly what schumer said. schumer said israel, year becoming an inner for national pariah, right? and so this all reverberates into sinwar's benefit. >> so i guess the only thing i would say is from a military point of view, and a loss of life point of view. hamas is losing, obviously, yeah. and a lot and thousands of innocent palestinians are being killed. just militarily, one could say, kamaz, you lost surrender turnover the hostages, but they're just not going to do it. they're getting more out of their own people getting killed in some ways. >> yeah. i mean, you they still have 20% of their fighting force they're fighting force left and their top officials have not been killed and if you
2:08 pm
look at what might happen next, the next day after it's going to be some way, some shape or form, i suspect hamas to 0.0 will be a part of that solution. >> that's andrew come back soon. we have a lot more to talk about. let's start into are 2024 liters. both president biden and kamala harris today are on the campaign trail, a president is in the battleground, states of wisconsin and michigan for obvious reasons. the vice president is making a stop at a planned parenthood clinic in minnesota this is the first time a sitting us president or vice president has ever visited an abortion provider. cnn's mj lee is at the white house md. what do we know about this decision and unprecedented one for the vice president to go to an abortion clinic jake, unprecedented and clearly meant to make a statement this visit to a planned parenthood clinic, making a pretty visual a striking >> visual, i should say, as the biden in white house and the campaign are pretty set on trying to make the issue of
2:09 pm
reproductive rights really central to the 2024 campaign. and jake, when the vice president was speaking at this clinic, she use the language how dare these elected leaders think that they can tell women what to do with their bodies about language clearly, just signals the fact that democrats believe that this is a politically mobilizing galvanizing issue for so many voters. and one that they're going to continue hammering home on. meanwhile, as you noted, president biden was also in the midwest. he went to michigan for the first time since clinching the party's nomination. we saw him specifically visiting saginaw county, and this is an interesting bellwether area in the state, voted for trump in 2016, voted for joe biden in 20 he 20. there wasn't a big political rally that the president attended. instead, he went to a supporter's home. this was an organizing event and really the campaign is at a moment where they are also trying to really draw attention to the beefing up of there campaign operations and with this visit, we've now seen the
2:10 pm
president over the last week visit. all three of the trio of states known as a blue wall, of course, so important for his reelection chances in november. >> all right. mj lee, thanks so much. so how will the vice presidency? trip go over with voters in key swing states? my panel is going to weigh in next plus aaron rodgers responds kind of, kind of response to our reporting that in the past he is shared fake sandy hook conspiracy theories, including with our own pamela brown what he had to say that's coming up >> this situation with wolf blitzer night it six once cnn congrats carroll, your youngest finally popped the question now, you're really going to have to get those new dentures after raul, you need a smile that matches the moment. so this might be a good time to mention that has been dental can create natural looking dentures no time just for you. and that comes with $0 down plus 0% interest. if paid in

2:15 pm
parenthood, a plan stop at a planned parenthood becoming the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion provider, biden's campaign is trying to repair the democrats frayed coalition that has been split wide open by disagreements over the war in gaza, among other issues. let's discuss now with our panel, we have anna back with us. good to see you. you're usually up and fancy new york, so we'd like he's like when you slam it down here with the people of bc. so an opinion piece in usa today is calling vice president harris his visit to planned parenthood cringe saying, quote, it's one thing to talk about reproductive rights and another to physically go to a place that routinely offers abortions, which involves the end being of a human life's beginning, there's a good reason why no vice president or president has publicly visited an abortion provider before it's a bad look, what do you think? >> the reason that no president or vice president has ever visited is because we've had roe v. wade for 50 years and we're in an entirely different scene right now. >> but there is also never had
2:16 pm
a woman president are most browser now, there is no doubt that there is no doubt that the biden campaign is going to embrace this issue with both hands. they have to, because it galvanizes women and their allies and kamala harris is uniquely positioned to talk about it, to talk about it with knowledge, because she has a uterus because she is the first woman because she was also a prosecutor of sex crimes. so she she comes at it with a really just her background. and who she is comes from a very unique big perspective that she's bringing. and i think she's giving voice to what a lot of women feel, which is how dare these men take agency over the body. >> so allison, and they just ask it because there's a recent gallup poll, it's an interesting issue, abortion rights because it doesn't pull as a voters top priority right aboard she doesn't even make the list and gallup of what americans think are the most important problems facing
2:17 pm
americans. immigration is number one in the plurality there. >> but every >> special election, i think pretty much every special election the democrats have debit cards, have overperformed since roe v. wade was overturned. and i know that a lot of republicans are very worried that this is ultimately going to help sweep biden back into the white house. >> you are correct. every time abortion has been a single issue on a ballot, it has come out in favor of the pro-abortion movement. there's no disputing that that's why republicans need to take this from a different vantage point and not talk about abortion bans. but let's talk about abortion limits. i have and to think, nikki haley found the right way to talk about this, not demonizing people on either side of this, but let's talk about where can we come to an agreement on a reasonable limit for abortion, whether it's 16 weeks up, 15 weeks, whatever, and have an agreement. and let's move forward on that. i think the reason the vice president's visit has been character fries as cringe worthy was just because of her tone and the way she talked about this. and look, she didn't do such a great job
2:18 pm
with the root causes of immigration. so i'm not sure why they think she's going to do such a great job with communicating on abortion. and the key thing is, as you said, jake right now, abortion rights 15th in issues that are most important to voters, that they don't want to talk about immigration, they don't want to talk about the economy. let them talk about abortion. they're not touching on what people want. that's gallup. i can talk to you about a poll that just came out of black women nationally, top voter issue concern access to reproductive freedom, why it's a human rights issue. it's a democracy issue, and it is franklin economic issue. i just want to put this in another context. the gop has been trying to literally disband planned parenthood for decades. part of why it's so important that she went millions of people go to planned parenthood for their health care to get accurate reproductive, now to get abortion, it's not taps mars, whatever exactly. and it's also a very popular, it's very important for young people. it's where a lot of
2:19 pm
young people get their health care as well as low-income women and a lot of places where there aren't even access to any places that do women's health care. so i think on that level that was the other part of her message. but again, remember in the context of this election, it's not just access to abortion. we're talking about it's contraception. >> lot of people go to prime parented to get >> contraception it's ivf now, so it's the full range of reproductive health care services that are now under threat. and again, young people in this again, i go back to the bad facts that republicans are dealing with. the majority of americans, 8.10 agree with roe v. wade, agree that reproductive freedom, it is about, are we a democracy? we're women get, you have control over these most basic, fundamental decisions. last thing i'll say, it's also an issue that motivates young people, particularly african-american and latino young men, who said, after the overturn of dobbs, if they're going to come for those rights, what else are they going to come? so we only have two minutes left arm, you bring energy, where everybody thinks
2:20 pm
we have an hour? what do not? sadly, we do not. everyone's everyone feels like, okay, what are you saying? you have two hours >> what are you complaining for panel though? we only have about a minute and change so quickly. i want to show joe biden, president biden today making his class and making his case rather to black americans in wisconsin in now, a radio interview, this morning and in the process obviously going after trump hurt people every change he gets, right, talks about the black. the way he drove up on insurance uninsured rates i got involved in the first place in public life is because the african here, that's not hyperbole, that's a fact >> so be that as it may, i knew cbs poll shows trump support among black voters up into from 2020, it was 17% who said they would pick trump over biden, a
2:21 pm
january fox news poll i had that number 23%. so black americans, especially black men, are shifting. there's still a minority republican, but shifting to trump >> yeah, listen >> joe biden has to do and kamala harris, they have to do everything they can to shore up the support of their democratic coalition latinos, african american african american women. they need them to show up big time young people, and they have they have trouble with a lot of those groups, right? yeah. but young people of gaza we've seen some shift with latinos and african-americans. and i think what joe biden needs to do is show up, show up early, not show up the last four weeks and remind people who donald trump is, because that quote from last week does america had amnesia? i think the answer in some groups is yes, thanks. >> one and all our stewart on an navarro karen, funny. appreciate it. good to see you too. hard. you're too loud. it's not a panel it's a new show with a panel. it's not like your name on it. >> all right >> all right. i'm breaking news a big ruling from the judge and

delicious, sweet taste and quality. you can trust splenda is the easiest way to reduce sugar i'm clarissa ward in jerusalem, and this is cnn >> we're back with some breaking news in former president donald trump's federal classified documents case in florida. let's get straight to cnn's kaitlan collins, caitlyn, the judge has just rejected one of the motions. trump's lawyers argued in court today. tell us more >> take they spent about two hours this morning arguing in this case should be dismissed because the law was too vague on around national security secrets and national defense documents judge aileen cannon, just about two-and-a-half hours after the hearing ended today and everyone does first from the court she rejected that
2:27 pm
argument in a two-page order. she wrote that there is too much contested here that should be about what we tell the jury that this he isn't a legal question that she was going to be agreeing with trump on at this time, and she wasn't going to be giving him this ability to dismiss the case here, that this is something instead to talk talk about with the jury, how the law should be applied and interpreted here, what the jury should be told in this case. so very quickly, resolving one by my count, nine different ways donald trump is trying to get this case dismissed. we're still waiting to see what she does with the other piece that he argued today that these papers hur's that were taken out of mar-a-lago are taken from the white house to mar-a-lago at the end of the presidency that they were his personal papers, will see if judge cannon does the same thing or something little bit different, or as quickly here and then there are many other attempts that have yet to be argued from donald trump's legal team, where they
2:28 pm
are asking her to toss the charges against him jake, katelyn polantz. thanks so much. in our politics lead and update to the exclusive reporting we brought to you yesterday about one of rfk juniors, vice presidential prospects, aaron rodgers. you might remember we reported on the unhinged conspiracy theories that new york jets quarterback aaron rodgers has shared in private that the 2012 very real sandy hook school shooting was not real, that it was a fake, despite the fact that 20 children and six adults were murdered, that de, now these comments, of course, are troubling, but they're especially important because he's on robert kennedy juniors shortlist for vice president. normally, who cares what a quarterback says and private conversation? yesterday on his espn show, pat mcafee said that rodgers was apparently at a retreat in costa rica taking the psychedelic drug in hoska when the news broke about the, about the his being on the shortlist for vice president for rfk junior yesterday here
2:29 pm
on the lead. we reported that aaron rodgers had shared these frankly disturbing views about the sandy hook shooting not being real. he he shared them 11 years ago with cnn's pamela brown. she was covering the kentucky derby for cnn in 2013 and met him there. cnn, i have also spoken to another person, one who would like to remain anonymous in order to avoid harassment, who also had a similar encounter with aaron rodgers saying that rodgers claimed the quote, sandy hook never happened. all those children never existed. they're all actors unquote. when asked about the grieving parents, whom i met and their grief is real. the source says that rodgers said, quote, they're all making it up. they're all actors unquote. now today, aaron rodgers is responding to our story kind of. he does not deny saying what we reported. he said, but he or a representative for him tweeted the following statement, quote as, i'm on the record saying in the past, what happened in sandy hook was an absolute tragedy. i am not and have
2:30 pm
never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. again, i hope that we learned from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that would allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life my thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire sandy hook community, unquote. again, if you read that statement, you rodgers does not deny those comments that he made the pamela brown and to the other source last night on fox rfk junior was asked about aaron rodgers i really like aaron because our appeal to young people, aaron rodgers battled. it he is he stood up, he has been averaged by the press stood up for things to be believed, and i like that part of his character. he's a critical thinker, >> critical thinkers. now, obviously what we're calling conspiracy theorists, kennedy was not in an interview, perhaps not surprisingly, they asked about the comments that we reported aaron rodgers made to pamela brown and someone
2:31 pm
else about sandy hook not having actually happened today. a spokesperson for rfk juniors campaign did aggressive addresses, comments responding to cnn in a statement saying, quote, mr. kennedy believes the sandy hook shooting was a horrific tragedy. the 20 children and six adults or die december 14, 2012 brought the entire country together and grief. let us honor their memory. this is where we are as a nation. we have actually as a subject for debate whether or not a vice presidential prospect thinks a massive shooting actually happened should rfk junior select aaron rodgers as his running mate again, somebody describes as a battle tested critical thinker it might cost him. media is reporting the donors have voiced their discontent directly with the campaign pledging to withdraw their support from kennedy if he chooses, rodgers, in particular, rfk junior is expected to announce his pick on march 26, also, in our politics today, the north carolina republican nominee for governor mark robinson, as we've reported, has a long history of anti-semitic,
2:32 pm
anti-lgbtq, sexist comments. now, just this past saturday, robinson told a crowd at a republican fundraiser in naples, florida that it's time to stand up and fight law enforcement. take a listen >> we wasn't gauge will be the leaders of freedom in this direction. and it starts with us having a conversation in the mural cannot do. it am i willing >> when the chips are >> when the fbi is not been on my door will i count? lock comply >> will not stand up five folks is time to stand up to fight >> mr. robinson is not the only
2:33 pm
controversial statewide candidate in north carolina currently, which brings us to the republican nominee to run north carolina schools who has tweeted about putting democrats perhaps the death. her name is michelle morrow. here's one over tweets. take a look. it's a doctored photo of former president barack obama in an electric chair more or wrote death to all traders hashtag. obama gate. again, this is the republican nominee to oversee public schools in north carolina. you know, home of the research triangle, joining us now cnn's kfile senior reporter, andrew kaczynski, andrew, that's not even all of it. there's a lot more well, that's right, jake, last week morrow, it activist, won the nomination, upsetting the in communist north carolina's school superintendent. that's the state's top school job while she was calling schools, indoctrination centers and socialism centers, she's also
2:34 pm
been linked to the q&a on a conspiracy theories sharing a slogan associated with acute fanon, where we go one, we go all at least seven times on twitter. she's also promoted the baseless adrenal chrome conspiracy, which claims that celebrities harvest the blood of children and she has also made extreme antena muslim comments. all of this, while repeatedly talking about executing prominent democrats, take a look at this tweet right here from may of 2020 where she's responding to someone who says it says they want to see obama tossed in gizmo, moral wrote, quote i prefer a paper view of him in front of the firing squad. i do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life we could make some money back from televising his death in another tweet from december 2020, morrow suggested executing joe biden, who was then president elect because he had asked americans to wear a mask for
2:35 pm
100 days at the height of the covid 19 to pandemic saying quote we never we need to follow the constitution's advice. and then in all caps, kill all traders. we also found numerous other tweets about executing democrats in post post on social media. she tweeted the hashtag, death two traders, at least 12 times. but jake, those comments her controversial comments really extended beyond that, she repeatedly shared that unfounded claim that obama was a muslim. she called islam evil and even express belief in a very bizarre conspiracy theory that chinese troops were going to invade the united states to help joe biden be sworn in as president. there's a tweet. i want people to look at right here from her where she wrote quote, tens of thousands of chinese soldiers are already in canada and probably mexico
2:36 pm
