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

2:00 pm
visit coventry direct.com i'm rafael romo the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn >> welcome to the lead on jake tapper at this hour, the deadly shooting of a 15-year-old girl at the hands of california's deputy sheriffs savanna grasses. ohno was believed to have been kidnapped by her father. new video shows her walking towards deputy. why did they fire their weapons at her? we're taking a closer look at the 2022 case plus new way to treat depression, the fda just cleared the first digital treatment will explain how that works. but we're going to start with new cnn reporting on the quote fury and indignation inside the biden white house touched off by these really striking gaza that killed seven
2:01 pm
workers delivering food for the world central kitchen to starving palestinians. world central kitchen is the non-profit started by celebrity chef jose andres at the white house just yesterday is biden hosted several muslim american leaders to talk about gaza. one of the leaders got up and walked out of the meeting and protest. he handed biden a letter beforehand from an eight-year-old orphaned girl living in rafah, orphan in the last six months, cnn's mj lee is at the white house. four is now an empty we're seeing yeah. a new level of anger and indignation inside the white house at targeted at metz and yahoo after this deadly idf strike on aid workers. >> that's right, jake, president biden himself, of course, said that he was outraged and i'm told that the frustration inside the white house has really reached new levels. it's one senior official describing the deaths of the seven workers as a standout incident. the president explicitly blaming
2:02 pm
israel for this incident, saying that israel is simply not doing enough to protect these kinds of aid workers, not to mention civilians and also, this is going to be now the anger is going to be the backdrop of the conversation that the president has. with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu tomorrow. but jake, despite this anger and despite the president being furious, the white house today making it very clear that the us is not taking a new position in terms its, of its support for israel and its ongoing war against hamas in gaza. take a listen >> i can say that nothing has changed and we've been clear about that since certainly since yesterday. we are going to continue to have those really tough conversations. we want to make sure that civilians are kept safe, but are protected. and also folks while providing humanitarian aid >> and last night here at the white house, we saw on vivid display the anger and frustration that the president
2:03 pm
continues to confront over this war. initially, the white house was going to host an iftar dinner for a breaking of the ramadan fast, but that became revise to justice eating with a small group of muslim leaders. when participants raised concerns about this idea of having a celebratory meal when the situation in gaza is so terrible right now on people are starving in the enclave. one participant of course, was this palestinian american doctor who ended up walking out of that meeting early as a show of protest. this doctor saying that he handed the president a letter from an eight-year-old girl who was orphan during this war in that letter, the girl begging the president to do anything to stop israel from going into rafah of course, he is one of many across the country right now who feel like they would like to see the president take a different position when it comes to this war. but again, the white house is making very clear that that is not something they're
2:04 pm
prepared to do right now, jake. >> all right. i'm julie. thanks. here's another sign that president joe biden is in political trouble over his handling of the israel-gaza war yesterday, about 48,000 people voted for uninstructed delegates in wisconsin's democratic primary, also known as a protest vote against biden. 48,000 in a state that biden won by less than half, that about 20,000 votes in 2020 keep in mind these voters didn't even have to show up to vote at all, given biden already has won enough delegates to clinch the democratic nomination. ben wikler joins us now he's the chair of the wisconsin democratic party ben, >> this looks like a bad sign for president biden. we saw a similar thing in michigan you somehow told npr that this is a good sign. explain well, the folks who voted uninstructed in the democratic primary, these are democratic voters and they're casting ballots. now to send a message that they want to see change, not in november, in whose president, but right now in policy, they
2:05 pm
want to see an enduring just peace, and they want to see an end for the humanitarian crisis. and moos policy, hostages go home. those are all things that president biden's working four, on the other side, we had 76,000 people in wisconsin who voted for nikki haley, not because of a policy argument they were making, but because they cannot bring themselves to cast a ballot for donald trump. >> so in both >> sides, there were folks who didn't vote for the nominees on the democratic side, president biden has the opportunity to earn the support of these voters who want to join democrats and stopping another trump presidency. and that's why this act of protest, it's part of the great american tradition, is part of what happens in every presidential election. can bring together this fall. >> so i take your point on the republicans who voted for nikki haley, but back to the democrats since you are the chairman of the democratic party, wisconsin, you really think that everyone who voted uninstructed is kinda change their vote to joe biden in the fall. let's assume, by the way that there isn't peace in the middle east by november, i
2:06 pm
think that's a safe assumption. you really think that these 46,000 are going to go to the polls for joe biden >> we know that the more you vote, the more likely you are to vote in the future. and i know lots of folks who voted on instructed and what they're looking for is a resolution to this crisis and end to the humanitarian crisis adjusted enduring peace they're not looking to elect donald trump. they know that if they don't go for biden, that it makes it more likely trump will win. and what they want is to feel like they're seeing change on the ground and feel ready to support president biden. my hope is that by the time we get to november, we have created change that the crisis has stops we're in a moment where the activism around uninstructed is become activism to turn folks out and make sure that we do stop another trump presidency and have a second biden term. where we're rebuilding in gaza and israel and folks are living in peace and security. that's the goal that we're all working for >> so let me pause it another
2:07 pm
theory, maybe there's 46,000 people people because they are super engaged, they would turn out and vote basically a protest vote, even though president biden is going to be the nominee, they didn't need to do at, but there are motivated and they're engaged as you say let's say they go and they vote for jill stein or cornell west or robert kennedy jr. i take your point. they're not going to vote for trump, but i if i were you and i'm sure you're very smart guy and well-respected. i'm sure. privately, you agree with me, at least these 46,000 or not necessarily going to vote for joe biden >> oh, no one thing anyone's necessarily voting for. anyone. i don't think any candidate should take any voter for granted. so there's absolutely work to do to show butters that their voices are for being heard. and most importantly, addressed the wrenching humanitarian crisis that's playing out before our eyes on cnn and everywhere else the thing that will bring voters together is changed on the ground in israel and palestine.
2:08 pm
and that there's a ton of work to be done towards that goal. and that's what voters are calling for it. there they're not voting uninstructed in the democratic primary because they have given up on the idea that any change is possible, they're voting to try to create change in the world. and president biden's campaign is arguing that we can build a better future. he's working bringing the phones. we just you just heard about it from korean john pierre to 200 tough conversations right now so the goal is to address this crisis bring democrats and nikki haley voters and independence altogether, and deliver a tremendous reelection in the fall and be able to keep moving the country forward. that's what when you're an activist, you want change, you're not just trying to cast a protest vote that has no effect on the john marn had an interesting piece and politicathe other day about how yes, there is this play toryo get nikki actually been outreached by the white >> house or the biden campaign to nikki haley or to chris christie, or to any of the
2:09 pm
republicans who are out to liz cheney, any other republicans out there who are taking courageous stands? against donald, trump, why not? shldn't shouldn't the bide campaign be actually going after them as well as their voters i've seen present bide speeches in videos saying to nikki haley, voters that while trump is pushing theaway and sayinghat they're traders, they're welcome to vote for someone who actually believes in democracy, that, that conversation is going out to the hundreds of thousands. maybe it's millions at this point of people who've gone out knowing that trump would be the republican nominee. the and cast votes for a candidate who has suspended her campaign. and i'm sure that the pace and breadth of that effort is only going to scale up as we go through this year. >> okay. ben wikler. thank you so much, really appreciate. it. let's discuss with our panel. there's a lot there. first of all, let me just say a mat he didn't answer my question whatever, there's so much he can say shouldn't the biden campaign and the white house be going after people like liz
2:10 pm
cheney and i understand you and saying, i don't you don't agree with me on 99% of these issues, but you agree with me on democracy. i mean, isn't there a case to be made? it would seem natural and in a way, jonathan martin peace might've blown out a little bit because now he has to wait a little bit. you can't go right afterwards because it's a well, i'm taking cues from java martin, but i think it would probably be a smart thing. i don't think it'd be receptive thank you. hailey did it. >> it was too nikki haley, per say, chris christie, liz cheney, other hand, maybe so interesting the credibility that comes with a nikki haley or less 20 speaking out about democracy and moving those people that go with them. it comes from them saying these, that's not saying but not because biden convinced them to say it what you're saying. i think it's the fact that they did it. and so that any type of coordination that would happen would most likely happen closer to the election, which is the voter turnout get out the vote period. this is persuasion. and right now, it's persuading regular democratic voters that they should be enthusiastic. and now let's talk now for biden, let's talk about that because former ohio state
2:11 pm
senator nina turner today posted on x regarding the wisconsin primary, what i was talking with mr. wikler about yesterday, she wrote over 47,000 voters and wisconsin went to the polls and voted uninstructed. that's 47,000 democratic voters. we should note president biden won wisconsin in 2020 by a little over 20,000 votes. this president must decide if loyalty tonight but then you, that's not saying but not because biden convinced them to say it what you're saying. i think it's the fact that they did it. and so that any type of coordination that would happen would most likely happen closer to the election, which is the voter turnout get out the vote period. this is persuasion. and right now, it's persuading regular democratic voters that they should be enthusiastic. and now let's talk now for biden, let's talk about that because former ohio state senator nina turner today posted on x regarding the wisconsin primary, what i was talking with mr. wikler about yesterday, she wrote over 47,000 voters and wisconsin went to the polls and voted uninstructed. that's 47,000 democratic voters. we should note president biden won wisconsin in 2020 by a little over 20,000 votes. this president must decide if loyalty tonight but then you, it's worth delivering trump the election in november, he must decide. nina turner
2:12 pm
>> i love her. she's a firebrand, she's progressive, but there are moderate democrats saying that privately to right, right. and another number that is really fascinating, i should be really alarming for the biden for the vitamin striation, the biden campaign is this latest number from a quinnipiac pulling that said 48% of democrats support biden's handling of the war in gaza. 48% approval on an issue that has taken over your presidency is a horrible sign for joe biden. you do see how while the white house he says in terms of strategy, they're staying the course, nothing about even this horrific bombing of the world. central kitchen workers has changed our strategy as of yet, you do see president biden becoming more and more forceful and his rhetoric. but unfortunately for the biden campaign for the president, the change on rhetoric is not gonna be enough for a lot of these democrats were really unhappy with the policy on gaza out of wine. nina turner says, loyalty to >> netanyahu was because in the obama administration, there was a sense of what it means to stand up for israel, separate from netanyahu's personal agenda. and so much about this conflict for the last six months has become about netanyahu's own political ambitions and his own longevity. the protests and country, the lack of focus on a policy that will actually get hostages back and so that's part of the challenge that we see two individuals who know each other well and trying to make a relationship work that seems like it's happening at the expense of actual good policy and humanitarian efforts on the ground. >> so one question i have, there was an interesting piece by jonathan swan about in the
2:13 pm
new york times about these right-wing israeli journalists with israel, how yom the cento, sheldon adelson paper going to donald trump and actually leaving that meaning shock because they thought the trump was even more left wing on these issues having to do with israel. remember these are very, very right-wing israelis. they thought trump was to the left of biden on these issues. and i wonder where is donald trump on these issues? that's because that's what he was saying privately, supposedly he was saying you need to wrap this war up. it looks horrible >> and is there an >> opportunity for him at all here? >> well, don't forget biden or to meet netanyahu and trump didn't really end on great terms after netanyahu congratulated then president elect biden, trump's don't matter. exactly, right? so don't i wouldn't be surprised with this color is a little bit and i think we've seen a little bit too. i wouldn't be surprised. i think one of the more defining characteristics of support for israel and gaza, less than political parties age, older voters tend to support israel, more younger
2:14 pm
voters, regardless of party morris obsolete democrat, ten, to support israel less, i wouldn't be surprised if you're trump trans stratify that to a little bit more partisanship try and make everybody put in their corners. and by trump inserting himself in the situation automatically makes it much more hostile. interesting. >> so here's a year i want, i really want to know what you're thinking about this. hillary clinton sat down with jimmy fallon and she was asked about the democrats, people who are disaffected good don't want to vote for either biden or trump, aren't excited about the rerun, about aren't excited to be off the rematch. this is what she had to say >> get over yourself. those are the two choices. yeah, i love that. i and yeah. it's >> kind of like one is old and effective and compassionate, has a heart and really cares about people. and one is old and has been charged with 91 felony the ad eight felonies because three of them were dismissed. but get over it. is that is that a winning argument
2:15 pm
for those people >> who are not excited about the rematch? >> it may work in a generational way for those who follow politics every day and you don't watch cable news, it's not going to work for a younger generation that ballon, that's not that wants to feel included in the process. the folks were actually showing up and giving protest votes, were protesting at the white house there anybody under the age of 40 needs a period of time to feel like they are heard, right? >> they >> are grieving whatever they think they should have had in this process with biden and then come october get over it, get over, you know, i think, i can say that because i'm a talking head on cable news but that just remind me like hillary, it's honestly that's sort of case. you may 2016 and that's why she's not present electorate now it's either mirrored going to vote for donald trump. there needs to be some affirmative caesarea, can't just make it really. you're gonna vote for donald trump. >> yeah, but it is a reality of accepting that we're facing two at at issue candidates are probably nobody has what he's saying nobody is saying that she's wrong. it's just a question of affirmative case that is lacking in that. well,
2:16 pm
there was something of an affirmative cases. he cares about people anyway, near a hot mic, gorman, so i'm going kam. thank you. one and all. appreciate it. some breaking news just in on donald trump's efforts to delay the new york hush money trial well, that set to start in a matter of days. we're going to bring you that breaking news plus uh, judges sharp response when a january 6 rioter tried to apologize for his so-called sins during the capital, right? stay with us the day you get your clear choice. dental implants makes every day let's dig in day a chow down day a tick, a big bite day a perfectly delicious day >> love my new teeth day because you're clear choice day is the day everything is back on the menu a clear choice day changes every day. schedule, a free console i have type two diabetes, but i manage it. well. it's little pill with the big story to tell. i

2:21 pm
denying that motion saying that trump waited far too long to bring it just 17 days before the trial was set to begin. and there is a law that says you have to bring these motions 45 days before judge also pointing out that trump knew that this was an option because he had made this claim in the federal case. he also made the claim of presidential immunity to try to move this very the case into federal court, which was denied. and the judge writing in the motion that all that raises real questions about the sincerity and actual purpose of the motion. now, trump this isn't as only efforts to try to still delay the trial date. he also file is filing motions with the judge to postpone the trial because of the publicity three around it saying they will be unable to find an unbiased jury in new york
2:22 pm
county that includes manhattan. prosecutors are opposing that because they say that this is a former president on trial. it is always going to be a high publicity event. the judge has already denied this motion. trump's team now renewing it, saying they've done some polling of people but the judge had said it's not like it's going to be less publicity a month from now. so that one seems like a long shot as well. j. >> all right. kara scannell with that update. thank you so much. a prison sentence in today's law and justice league ties right into our brand new series donald trump's january 6 hostages were profile the people that trump calls hostages, the accused and convicted did january 6, rioters behind bars. trump is called for them to be released. they of course, not hostages, but you've heard the references. here's the sample do you see the spirit from the
2:23 pm
hostages? and that's what they are as hostages they'd been treated terribly and very unfairly >> they're not hostages, their prisoners, but we're talking about these folks. so let's find out who trump is describing as a hostage. this guy, for example, taylor james, john attacks today, a judge sentenced anacoco tonga caucus time to talk sre to more than seven years in prison 87 months to be exact. >> why? >> because he assaulted law >> enforcement officials during the capitol attack and he obstructed the congressional proceedings. prosecutors say john to talk is was among the very first rioters to march up the southwest capitol steps on january 6 and confront police trying to hold back the crowd. they say he led the charge under the scaffolding of times using his megaphone to direct other writers where to go. prosecutors say john to talk and others pushed metal bike racks into police officers, injuring at least one of them. even the day before january 6, prosecutors say john to talk is posted on social media, quote, that's why i am going to dc to change the course of history hashtag, stop the steal another message that de, from him read quote, burn the city down, what the british did, the dc will be nothing unquote. the fbi i arrested john attackers in washington state about one month after the attack and he has been in the dc jail since
2:24 pm
he was convicted back in november now, months before today's sentencing, john attack is briefly spoke saying, i repent from my sins. he invoked a conspiracy theory suggesting he doesn't recognize the court's authority. cnn's marshall cohen was also when court to report on today's sentencing, he noted that the judges response was to call genotoxicity conspiratorial comments gobbledygook the judge lambasted the actions of rioters saying, quote, we cannot condone the normalization of the january 6 us capitol riot he said, warning of a quote, vicious cycle. if americans upset with future election results, resort again to quote, vigilantism, lawlessness, and anarchy. now, the judge did not reference trump by name, but the comparisons were pretty clear. yet another profile for you today of a convicted felon, whom donald trump inaccurately calls a hostage, someone who is not a hostage, someone who was a criminal a 15-year-old girl shot and killed by california deputy. she was thought to be kidnapping kidnapping victim. did deputies really think she was a threat? the new video raising questions about their actions that's next

settlement, representatives are available now i'm lauren fox on capitol hill, and this is cnn >> internationally, newly released video of a 15 year-old girl shot and killed by sheriff's deputies and southern california's nearly two years ago still leaves behind more questions than it does answers in this edited video by the san bernardino sheriff department, you can see savannah grassy arnault, who at the time was believed to have been kidnapped by her father. she follows a deputies order to get out of the car and more walked toward them. we're going to freeze the video right before savannah is shot, but you will briefly here audio from a police helicopter my grazia anos, father was killed during the shootout with the officers. cnn currently does not have access to the entire video. the california department of justice is investigating this deadly incident no officers face any
2:30 pm
charges. sam levin, a senior reporter for the guardian, is covering the story and sam, thank you so much for joining us. there's still so much unknown about the shooting now that you've seen this video, what's your reaction? >> it's deeply concerning. we see that the sheriff's department had really spread a misleading narrative about what actually happened in the immediate aftermath they suggested that perhaps she had been shot by her father and that she was running at the officers but what we see in this footage is that she was unarmed, she was following the instructions of the officers to move towards them. >> and yet >> multiple deputies shot at her in this moment. and this is a suspected kidnapping victim who the police were charged with rescuing the sheriff's department also released audio from a witness of the shooting and this witness believed that gunshots were coming out of the passenger side where semana got out of the car from now, initially, the sheriff's department said it was possible savannah herself was firing at
2:31 pm
officers before she got out of the car. what more do we know about this now? >> the sheriff's department has repeatedly said that we don't know who was firing. i think they've made clear that her father was firing at officers and they suggested at the time that perhaps she was firing as well. hover, there's no edence support saying it and the same time, you have the hicter ofcer above who noted th it appeared the shots wercoming out of driver's side regardless, in that moment, we see that she is unarmed and you have t officer up above and the officer on the ground immediely remark, it's heard for its hurts the girl the girls out, and he's saying come towards me, come towards me. and so there were definitely officers who were very aware it was her, the victim who they were trying to rescue, and yet shoot. she was killed in that moment. >> yeah. look, it's a chaotic situation, but still it's one that involved a child, kidnapping victim, at least as
2:32 pm
far as we know, has there been any push from the community to get the san bernardino sheriff's department to look into what happened or change their training for when a dangerous incident involving a child like this happens. so this horrible tragedy doesn't happen again >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, it took nearly two years for them to even release this footage. we reported on it because an independent journalists, joey scott, filed records requests and has been fighting for this for almost two years. and so just basic trends parents, he is something people have been pushing for. but at the same time this comes a week or a month after the sheriff's department killed 15 year-old ryan gainer an autistic teenager, in a very disturbing circumstance. and so there's a lot of community outrage right now about why does this department rush to shoot and
2:33 pm
why don't they deescalate these situations and why don't they have a better plan in place to protect life and protect children in both of these cases. >> yeah, that autistic individual was somebody that the sheriff's department new live there. he was holding a gardening tool but the question of de-escalation is certainly an important one. sam 11th thank you so much for your time today. i appreciate it >> thanks for having me appreciate it onto a new reporting and are working and is learning that the united states flat out told russian officials that crocus city hall could be the site of an imminent terrorist attack by isis-k. this is weeks before the attack happened in ices attack to that exact spot on march 22, brutally slaughtering 144 people, including children. all of this raising questions about russia's claims that united states intelligence provided to them was not specific enough to prevent the attack these details were first reported by the washington post and confirmed by cnn, former cia chief of russia the operation steve hall joins us
2:34 pm
now steve you know, the world of soviet or russian intelligence intimately what do you make of this >> you know, jake, this is not an unusual situation. you would be surprised at how many times the united states intelligence community to cia and others passed this type of threat information even to adversarial governments like russia, under the duty to warn policy, because the figuring is, look if there's innocent humans involved, regardless of whether the russians or whatever their government needs to be worn there's no, doubt, in my mind that this was done. and at the specific location was mentioned, perhaps not the timing, but the location certainly. >> how where is it for the united states to share such specific details with a country that is clearly an american adversaries. i mean, i know there is this duty to warn idea that if if the us gets this information, we have the responsibility to share it with whomever, including the iranians as the us good a few months ago, how common is it it is much more common than i think people would think because logically, i think most lay people would say, look, why would we you've passing sensitive intelligence which

could reveal sources and methods to our adversaries, to people like into the iranians. so russians and so forth. >> but the >> bottom line is, is it, this is a difference in values in our system. we value human life regardless really of whether it belongs to an adversarial country are not especially when it comes to counterterrorism information. we share all the time with the russians and others there's whether they take it seriously as they clearly didn't in this case. that's their responsibility. >> the post's shane harris writes, quote, russian media has reported that specialized police units did not arrive until more than an hour after the shooting started and then waited more than 30 minutes before entering the building, by which point the assailants had already escaped we've done quote, what do you what do you make of that >> i think the fsb in this case would have been their primary responsibility. that's the internal intelligence service of the russians. and they're clearly thinly stretched is probably not the right word, but they're focused on other things that are focused on people like alexey navalny, another opposition figures and getting rid of those folks. they're focused on ukraine. there focused on all sorts of things that i think if i wrote
2:36 pm
a russian citizen, i'd be saying, why aren't you'd perhaps more focused on like a very popular mall that a lot of people go to in protecting russian citizens. so i think that's what's going on on the russian intelligence side. >> the fsb arrested evan gershkovich, for example, will porter reporter for the wall street journal, who does not believe in prison. you've all thank you so much. appreciate it. the iranian regime has vowed revenge for the strike that killed one of its top military leaders. but the feeling is not mutual. for many people who call iran home, someone intimately familiar with people sentiments in iran will join me after the break if you spit blood when you brush, it could be the start of a domino effect new periodontics act of gum repair, breath freshener clinically proven to help reverse the for signs of early gum disease >> a new toothpaste from paradise dom >> experts, just treating a look at here, guys, were everything. >> she does from design and her

the attack is masi alina jad and iranian journalists and activists, masi, thanks so much for being here. what are you hearing about how the people of iran how they feel about this attack? >> to be honest iranians are celebrating the killings of seven irgc commanders in damascus in syria. but jake, let me just ask this question to iranian regime because they hearing me, i really want to know, not just me, millions of iranians. they really want to know that what i mean, what these seven high-ranking members of revolutionary guards were doing in syria. of course, they were planning for another october 7. of course, they were coordinating another attacks on civilians and that's why i believe that was a self-defense and make he ends up iranians based on the videos that i received celebrate the killings of the members of irgc because
2:42 pm
these are the officials that they brought sorrow and sadness and misery to the people of iran, not just to the people of iran in the region as well. learn, i receive a video. people were like drinking and cheering for the killings of this war mangers. and i said to myself that people of iran never, never want war, but they are happy when they see that those who created war, those was started war. now so getting killed in the chaos that they are the main creator of the chaos in the region, right? >> because the quds for us, i mean beyond trying to get hezbollah and hamas and other proxies to attack israel and attack the united states they oppress the iranian people. i mean, the iranian people in general, you say consider them to be there >> yeah. >> there was massive uprising in iran. you know, what was the

totality back in 2017, it was only about two-and-a-half minutes. now, for this eclipse, it's going to be almost those solar flares, all that stuff coming off the sun on and switch. it looks cooler to it's in you're excited about the raccoons that will be coming out in the middle of the day? yeah. during the moment of totality. but what about the thunderstorms that are gonna be in the path of the eclipse for some places which viewing areas will not be compromised according to the weather reports. >> so as of now, are still a few days out of yeah. so have to put that caveat in, but southern missouri indianapolis, and buffalo, new york, upstate new york, new england. there looking pretty good, but texas, arkansas, those are some areas. i mean, that's like those people have spent so much time and money and invested so many resources into going there and they're looking pretty dicey right now. i'm re-evaluating getting my plans. >> so apparently there are there are first of i can't see a word. i mean, i can't see anything in this, but that means those work apparently, there there are counterfeit
