central starts right now >> boston, from prison and all the loose frantic manhunt for an escaped convict with ties to white supremacist prison gang three corrections officers ambushed, >> panic mode for former president trump the reporting now on how he is struggling to post nearly half $1 billion bond that he needs in order to appeal the civil fraud case in new york. >> and the >> white house trying to get a step ahead head of ai hao disruptive the biden administration thinks artificial intelligence could be for the american worker. i'm kate bolduan with john berman. sarah is out today cnn news central starts now >> breaking overnight. they are

dangerous and they are armed. a manhunt for two men involved in a brazen ambush, that freedom inmate who was allegedly a white supremacist prison gang member, three corrections officers were shot during a transfer from a hospital. now there was a warrant with a $2 million bond in an urgent shakes for nicholas up and our and skyler mead, who was serving time for shooting a sheriff and had tattoos representing the area nights we believe that this was a coordinated attack, ambush on the department of corrections officers and certainly a planned endeavor to free him from custody. they are dangerous, they are armed and they have shown a propensity for violence >> they have shown a propensity for violence seen is wouldn't wild all over this story this morning. these two men, you get the sense authorities desperately want them back in custody. >> absolutely, john, because the big concern for law

enforcement here is if they're willing to shoot a police officer, they are willing possibly to shoot anybody. and so that is why the urgency here cannot be overstated. let's talk about skyler mean, and i'll just give you the context here of who's skyler meat is and what was going on in this moment. that this brazen shooting happens? scott hello. mean was serving time in prison. he wasn't even supposed to be out, john until 2036, serving time in prison for aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer. again, as you mentioned, he's a documented member with the area nights. this is a white supremacist prison gang that began in idaho in the early to mid 1990s, according to the apartment of justice, he basically would happen here. john, is that while he was in custody, he was taken to the hospital for self-injurious behavior when hospital when prison staff evaluated him and they determined that he needed to go to the hospital and it was as he was being discharged, as he was preparing during to leave the hospital with law enforcement with these officers from the idaho department of

corrections? >> that's >> when police say nicholas unfun our his associate busted in, began shooting and was able to help skyler meet escape in this 2020 gray honda civic. here's how law enforcement described the location that skyler mead was in at prison. this gives you some context about what police believe that was necessary in order to keep him away from other members of the prison population? >> schuyler made was in wasn't administrative segregation. there's not a higher custody level that we manage at the department of correction. it's a form of restrictive housing think that really is reserved for the those people in our custody who have proven they can't be housed without being a danger to themselves, staff, or other people in our custody john, that gives you the context here of how dangerous law enforcement already thought skyler made was well, he was in

>> custody, let alone on the loose with no law enforcement insight. let's talk about nicholas up an hour. he is the associate here. law enforcement has determined that he is a associated it of skyler made he is now charged with aggravated battery against law enforcement. he's also charged with aiding and abetting an escape. he is also considered armed and dangerous. this man haunts certainly underway, john. and now the question is, where are they and how quickly can they be brought back into custody? >> yeah. what a toxic combination you have a guy in prison for shooting a cop. three corrects. is officer shot in the process of this escape, which certainly seems to be coordinated. you can understand why authorities are so concerned when you wild. thank you very much for that. >> okay. >> let's talk more about this joining us right now, a cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe. it's good to see you, andy. so as john and wendy, were talking about police call it an ambush and a coordinated attack that started with is inmate need harming himself in order to be

taken to the hospital? what amount of planning? would be needed to pull an escape, an ambush an attack like this off >> yeah, that's a really remarkable point k then when we look at these situations, that's one of the first things we look for signs of organization and planning because it tells us that this was something in the works for quite some time. it also tells us something but they offender, this is a guy who has the kind of mental organizational abilities and discipline to pull something like this off it requires all sorts of things you have to have friends, you have to have people, you have to have access to a network of people who in this case we're willing to put their own lives at risk and attack law enforcement to get him out you have to have the ability to communicate surreptitiously with those people most of these prison escape plans fall apart at the planning stage when prisoners do things like talk on monitored telephones to people outside of prison who they need to help them. >> those calls are of

>> course always >> die in the conflict >> and there's a lot that needs to be figured out and that's even separate from this >> manhunt of how this >> actually happened. >> let's get to that. i mean, these men are clearly dangerous. what do law enforcement need to be doing right now? not just to catch them, but to figure out how they did this you know, we've been in these manhunt situations before recently, right. and so the basics are the same. they are going to with the help of intelligence analysts understand this person, scholar meads network, who are his known associates inside prison, outside of prison, family members maybe former work associates. >> they're

>> going to identify locations for all those people. they're going to start to identify communications facilities for those people. so those are telephone numbers, email accounts, social media accounts, and they're going to start monitoring all of the places and individuals w might help h in this escape, this it's particular escape is greatly complicated by the fact that meat is a member of a white supremacist prison gang called the area nights. so he has access to a group of people that are committed to this sort of crimes and willing to die for him. >> let's talk about that. aspect of it, which i think is an important aspect of it. the area nights, this is a prison gang needs affiliated with we know that white supremacy is violence and threats is on the rise across the country where you know that from the fbi. but this area, nights prison gang, what should people know? >> you know, this is that's absolutely true. the current threat assessments about white supremacists and white

separatist activity in the united states are on the rise. but this is right in the wheelhouse of what a group like. this does, right? the area nights are a prison gang. they were kinda started in the idaho correctional facilities as of 2021, they were estimated to be about 100 members strong. they engage in all sorts of activity in the prison, like drug trafficking, illegal gambling engaging, and intimidation, violence, assaults on other prisoners, things like that. in 2021, there the head but if they're organization, a man named harlan hale was actually convicted and pled guilty to a rico account offense, which is significant because it's a public acknowledgment of the fact that he was running a criminal enterprise, the area nights, and he is now serving a life sentence in a federal penitentiary. >> so this is a group of very hardcore violent experienced individuals, part of the problem with prison gangs is there not just in prison once you join the gang in prison, if after you leave, you're still

affiliated at that group, still have loyalty to that group. so clearly what looks like happens here is meat is relying on likely other areas, nights members in the community who've helped him plan this escape >> and a thank you so much manhunt underway as we speak, john >> all right. donald trump needs half 1 billion in days could he file for bankruptcy by monday? and then hiding out the airplane bathroom? no ticket for the flights. so how did the man managed to get on and then scandal swirling near the highest paid athlete on earth gambling debt. and now accusations of theft >> we're here to get your side of the store. >> why do we keep ending up here? you can't write this stuff. yeah, >> states of scandal with jake tapper it's sunday, a nine on cnn >> know my os by speech. he ross smell >> that's me, mr. cole let's

the many lives of martha stewart now streaming on macs >> so this morning, donald trump needs half $1 billion and it's not at all clear where or how he's going to get it and he needs it by monday or el so though we're also not sure what else is this morning, this is all to cover the huge new york civil fraud penalty. so we can appeal the case. cnn's kaitlan, poland's is with us this morning. kaylen, the clock is ticking >> it is john, when you lose a lawsuit and you have a judgment like this, you don't have a lot of options. you either allow the people who won the lawsuit in this case, the new yorker attorney general's office to come in and collect or you put up that amount of money to assure them that you have it and continue your appeals right now, donald trump is taking the appeal route. not only does he want to appeal that final judgment and the loss of his case, he's

appealing to try and get a court's intervention and in new york to put a pause on him having to put up the money. he has the assets in that he says he has the real estate that would cover the five-hundred about $500 million, half $1 billion for a bond. but the people that he's going to the company's insurance are underwriters they are not willing to give him a bond of that amount and would >> require him to put up not real estate or any assets he has, but cash that's a lot of money in cash. and so trump has said to the court, he's having trouble. he's asking the appeals court for for intervention. they still could step in and do something, but letitia james, the attorney general, her team, also is writing to the appeals court and they're saying this is getting to the end of the line. he has some options here. he could try those asking insurance companies to come together and then pool enough money for him to post the bond, or he could provide evidence,

he could put his real estate holdings with the court >> they >> though, are making quite clear when monday comes along and that money isn't there in a bond or given to them. they are ready to move and put liens on his assets. >> that is coming muddy bankruptcy. is it financial and legal? legal option for donald trump, but it's a tough political option and one that according to all the articles are reading, say his team does not want to take, but that is out there also. katelyn polantz. thank you very much for all that. developing this morning. a different money story involving donald trump, this one, political fundraising brand new fund reports show that the trump campaign has half the cash on hand as president biden's campaign. that is a big, big gap seen as isar to veer here with the latest on that cash on hand is one of the most coveted things in politics. isaac >> it is for joe biden, the fundraising is continuing at a pretty high rate. it's all building up to what will be a,

what may be the biggest fundraiser ever. that's going to feature barack obama and bill clinton at radio city music hall with him next week but for donald trump he is scrambling to raise campaign cash. there are signs from the trump campaign that they feel like they've been more successful. aly, he's also building up to a big fundraiser in april $250,000 a ticket for a lot of that. and then there's a chairman level that's $814,000 donations to get there, but that's all coming as his leadership pac that supposed to be spending money to help him get elected president, spent more money on legal bills in la last month than it did on them, then it brought in overall, there's a lot of money that is needed to run a presidential campaign to do things from advertising, the hiring campaign in workers. and so far joe biden is keeping a big edge over donald trump on all of that. >> yeah. and where and how you raise the money, dictates where and how much you spend. also,

biden has an edge when it comes to that as well as it was something that we will wash with these huge fundraisers, as you said, coming up, thanks so much for your reporting on this hours left before a government shutdown and the new deal being struct new deals being struck to try to get congress to avoid the next mass the moment the state lawmaker shares why she plans to get an abortion in the state, currently weighing a near total ban after numerous ultrasounds and blood draws, we have determined that my pregnancy is once again not >> progressing and is not viable once again, i have scheduled an appointment to terminate my pregnancy you only go up as bresler. its course. he doesn't >> find your ligand luck here. >> more on my >> know, if i like it moving, no, no, if you're lying it's

the winds of space shuttle,

columbia, the final flight premieres sunday, april >> 7 at nine on cnn so lawmakers now have a funding bill in hand and they are up against a midnight deadline tomorrow to avert a shutdown. the package includes six spending bills related to defense homeland security, state department operations, and much more important stuff it but is this now enough to avoid another round of shutdown fears and another mass for at least a while seen in sunlen serfaty, she has much more on what this package includes, what is going on. you're someone what are you hearing is the support there to avoid the shutdown? >> okay. this is going to be a scramble. this is certainly a major time crunch even for capitol hill. this is a massive bill when thousand and 12 pages long, and it was released just before 03:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. so lawmakers now are really having to wake up and absorb all the specific details. this is a one 0.2 trillion dollar bill would fund

a number of critical government operations that needed to happen before midnight on friday, it increases border funding as well as protecting women's rights by preserving that travel policies so that service members and their families can access reproductive health care. notably, those are two key presidential election issues in both sides here, getting some of what they wanted within this republicans, for example, they can tell more detention beds for ice cuts to foreign aid that only us flags at diplomatic facilities will be flown and prohibiting a federal ban on gas stoves. democrats, meanwhile, they have stuff so they can tell from this built 12,000 visas added for afghans, boosting childcare, education funding. and notably blocking the republican poison pills that we're trying to be added in there. and the question now is, how fast can they get this passed? and her schumer said that once the house passes, it he intends this to move it through quickly

>> as soon as they send us the funding package, i will put it on the senate floor, even with bipartisanship, it's going to be a tight squeeze to get this funding package passed before the weekend deadline i asked my colleagues to be flexible to be prepared to act quickly and to prioritize working together and good faith now, typically members have 72 hours to review a bill tax before they vote, though it's possible that rule could >> be waived and speaker johnson has indicated that he potentially could do so. >> but a >> lot needs to happen between right now and midnight on friday to get all of this down, kate, to avoid a shutdown even at partial shutdown over the weekend? >> okay. >> does this completely if they pull this off and i guess we have to always say a big if until it's done. does this put away, does this set aside any future message for the moment for the fiscal year for any period of time of another funding battle like this? >> that is a great question because this is something that

on capitol hill he hasn't haunting them for months. they've passed a lot of piecemeal spending bills and this addressing six places that they needed a fund in the government. and it does, it pushes that deadline till later in the year in the fall. so potentially, lawmakers on capitol hill wouldn't have to deal with this as part of a shutdown for quite some time. if it gets passed >> if and when, we will say it's good to see someone. thank you so much >> so the white house trying to get ahead of ai at least when it comes to the impact that they see in a new analysis that ai will have could have on american jobs las vegas, wouldn't be here if it wasn't in kasin stative evolution. >> they really get nagi rated era for the leaks dollars ours pointed it gets vegas. the story of sin city. sunday at ten on cnn >> fashion moves fast, setting >> trends is our business.

level was 0.23 three well-over over the legal limit when this happened, the blanco county sheriff's office says angela chao mistakenly backed into a pond at her home after dinner with friends on her family's ranch last month despite efforts to save her, she died after being submerged in the car for more than 20 minutes. and senator mcconnell has cited this family tragedy is one of the reasons that he is stepping down from his leadership post >> the >> longtime friend and interpreter of los angeles dodgers superstar shohei ohtani has been fired. the reason why is wild, according to reporting from the la times ohtani's attorneys now accused the man of massive theft after he allegedly use a taney's bank account to fund his gambling to the tune of millions of dollars. betsy allegedly made with an illegal bookmaking operation. the now former interpreter told espn, though he did bet on sports, he never bet on major league baseball and said that are thani was not

involved. ohtani is the highest good athlete in north american sports history with his $700 million contract with the dodgers. >> john, you know, it's interesting that did >> not bait bet on baseball and ohtani not involved the reason they're saying that is the one rule in baseball at every player knows if you bade up bet on baseball, banned for life. think of pete rose there so these are stunning allegations. ohtani, not directly involved as far as we know, at least not yet, but it bears watching so donald trump has until monday to solve a 450 million problem. but how exactly did he get here and how could it play out? cnn senior legal analyst and former federal and state prosecutor, le holding is right here with us. well, what are we talking about? where did this start? where does this dollar figure come from? >> yeah, john. so let's go back to the beginning. this case is the civil lawsuit filed by the new york state attorney general, letitia james against donald trump and his companies, alleging and having prove that they overinflate id their assets and then use that in

order to get lunch bonds from banks. now, the judge returned a verdict for donald trump. the verdict was in the amount of $355 million plus interest. you somehow did the math and backed it out is what gets us to that 450 plus million dollar figure. now, the attorney general can start collecting on that as of monday on land donald trump post a bond with the court. now, let's understand exactly what that means. there's sort of a two-step calculation going on here. first of all, a bonding company usually this is going to be a private company and insurance company or a bank. they certified to the court that if donald trump does not pay the total amount that he's owed after his appeal we are good for it. we will cover him now in order for them to make that promise, donald trump has to post collateral with the bonding company that can be cash that can be other assets. now, donald trump has been unable to do that so far. and hence, if we get too monday and he's not posted a bond, letitia james can start collecting,

>> good to be clear. the bonding companies won't give him the money because at some degree they don't think he's good for it, or they don't like the collateral. he's putting up alone essentially, yes. okay. so if trump cannot pay, right. this or post this by monday, what happened? >> so a couple of things. first of all, he does still get to appeal. i've heard it said that he cannot appeal unless you post a bond. not true. he can still appeal the verdict against him came from the trial court, which confusingly in new york state is called the supreme court. don't ask me why new york, right he can still appeal the case to the appellate division and perhaps to the court of appeals. but the problem if he fails to post a bond is while he's appealing here letitia james, the attorney general. she can start collecting she can seize his bank accounts. she can start the process of trying to seize and then liquidate or sell off his properties. now, it's not as simple as sheriff's just storm in and put up a sign and say, this is ours now because there's other entities that have interests in these real estate holdings, there's mortgages on them, there's

other your shareholders. but letitia james can start the process if there's no bond or other intervention as of monday of seizing these property, you say are other interventions. so what ways could donald trump get out of this? >> so he's hoping are looking for any of two things they haven't. first of all, donald trump has gone to the appellate division, the appeals court in new york, and asked them to either they're delay the bond or to reduce the amount he writes in his brief that he has tried he has tried 30 different companies and he writes that posting a full bond here is quote, a practical impossibility. now the ag file, the response last night. they said we disagree. he needs to try different ways to do it. appeals courts do. sometimes come in and reduce the amounts of bonds, sometimes substantially. >> the >> other potential development that could bail donald trump out here is he could get a cash infusion, someone could come along, give him a loan, him cash. we won't necessarily know who that is. that's a private transaction. >> of course, journalists are going to press on figuring out who it is. so maybe i'll get a cash infusion people have said,

well, how about his real estate? that's not going to work. he's not gonna be able to sell off real estate between now and monday, and i talked a bonding companies yesterday. they don't want real estate. it's too encumbered, it's too difficult, not going to bail him out. the third thing, keep an eye on this, true social donald trump's media company. they are likely going to go public tomorrow based on a shareholder vote. if that happens, donald trump own somewhere between 24 billion with a b dollars of truth social stock problem is, there's some skepticism about whether it's really worth that. >> and he >> can't sell it off for six bonds unless he gets a special waiver. so maybe something about true social can help it bankruptcy. bankruptcy is a possibility now, bankruptcy people need to understand it's not a magic one that makes every debt go away, but it would by him time because if he declares bankruptcy, whatever the political embarrassment might be, it would put a stay, a pause on all this collection. >> the report but again, the political embarrassment of it might be too much for it. i wouldn't bank on that. i think you need to.

>> all right. >> but still that that's an option and may eventually be the only option is quite something it's other other news we're following secretary of state tony blinken is an egypt today meeting with the egyptian president, the state department describes the meeting this way today that they discussed negotiations to secure an immediate ceasefire for at least six weeks. and also the release of all hostages cnn's jennifer hansler has much more on the trip. the negotiations, the long negotiations that they have been working on for quite some time. jennifer blinken said yesterday that the sides are getting close to securing closer, if you will, to securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages. how close is closer? well, >> kate blinken said yesterday that the gaps are narrowing and he believes an agreement is very much possible. he said they are continuing to work with egypt, with qatar and with israel on what he described as a very strong proposal to secure the release of the hostages in exchange for what you described at least a he's

six week ceasefire. now we should note that hamas did not accept that initial proposal and blinken said they have come forward with new requests and new demands. blinken did not go into details about what these new requests are, nor did he say where the gaps remain in the past, some of these sticking points have included the fact that hamas won't give the name games of the hostages that they plan to release, which israel said is a no-go as well as the fact that hamas is calling for israel to eventually agree to a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of all of their forces from gaza, which again, israel has said that is not an option for them. so a lot still needs to be worked out, but there is this sense so cautious optimism, not only from blinken but from national security advisor jake sullivan as well as some qatari officials. now, blinken discussed these matters with the egyptian president. he is meeting with the egyptian foreign minister as well as the intel chief from egypt, who has been involved in these negotiations. and of course, there is the aspect of this

humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in gaza that is lending even more urgency to these talks. blinken has said that this underscores the need to release to gain this ceasefire. and this is going to be a key topic of his conversations later today with air ministers in cairo yeah >> and even just the sense that there is even a little bit of optimism that is a shift from just let me the last time that you're going, i've been speaking because things were not going in a positive direction for quite some time. it's great to see you. thanks, jenny. >> jump, right new this morning, 10% of the us workforce is facing a high risk of being wiped out by artificial intelligence that's sobering and it's been a new report from the white house. first shared with cnn, seen as matt egan joins us now with the details. what are you learning here? >> well, john, these ai tools they can do absolutely incredible things, things that we thought only humans can do, right? they could write reports, craft powerpoint presentations, come up with

songs. they could even generate movie quality videos or write news articles like the one i wrote on this report today. and it's all inspiring. but from the person objective of a worker, it's also kind of scary. this report shows that white house officials, they are thinking deeply about what ai means for the workforce as they should, right? because like any technology, this is going to help some workers by making them more efficient. and it's going to hurt others. and so they found that 20% of us workers, there in jobs right now with high exposure to ai >> these are the ones >> who are going to meet most effective, either positively or negatively. but that's it really drill down on who's most vulnerable, they looked at which of those jobs have the most complex tasks. the thinking is that the more complex the job is the harder it is to be replaced by a robot. >> and they found that egn percent of us workers are in jobs with high exposure, but low complexity and those are the ones who are most vulnerable. i talked to jared bernstein, the white house economists. he rejected the notion that all those jobs are

going to go away. i mean, he pointed out that we still have humans flying planes, even though autopilot has apparently been around for a century but still a large number of those, 10% of those jobs, they're going to be vulnerable here. >> what kind of jobs are we talking about in this 10%, this report did not break down the specifics here, but there were some interesting findings around who's more vulnerable, especially around education. it found that the risk here, 40 10% of people who have no more than a high school diploma, they are in that high risk category. compare that to 6% of people who have a bachelor's degree. there's also some interesting findings around income hi earners. they have high exposure to ai, but those jobs tend to be more complex. so again, they tend to be safer. what they found was that it's really the lower and middle earners who are most vulnerable to ai. and so that's why this report found that there is the risk that ai could quote exacerbate aggregate income inequality if

it's substitutes for employment in lower wage jobs and complements higher wage jobs. now that warning is not really coming out of left field. we've heard similar warning from the imf and the white house says, listen, it's too early to say that ai is definitely going to make inequality worse in part because that risk should form policy. jared bernstein, he flat out said, we're not going to let technology worsen inequality, but we should note ai is moving really, really fast and no one really knows exactly how this is going to play out, not the fed, not the white house, not even chatgpt how do. you >> feel about news anchors >> news anchors >> are safe, especially you. thank you. i'll look. these are important issues and there needs to be some deep, deep thinking about all it maddy. thank you very much for this. >> so booking a flight is >> expensive or airlines making an extra profit though, off your personal information for the first time the government asking the question, what's

job and still going to work every day and that's me i'm assigned filled episode going on right now in real life >> yeah, i love it. long beach state. it's good take on arizona today in the first round. now if you're still panicking and you have to fill out that brack. i got some final tips for you. don't pick a 16th to beat a one. it did happen last year here, but it's only happened twice ever. but pick one of those ones seeds to get upset by an eight or nine seat in the second round. that's happened ten of the last 13 tournaments. if you pick an eight or nine seed, you find one, you like pick them to win a couple of games. and since 2014, 11 see, they've actually have a winning record over six seeds. they're 19 and 17, and that stretch. so believe in those 11 seeds and good one today, oregon, 11 seed taken on six seed south carolina. it's the ducks who are actually favorite according to automakers in that game, they're favored by one-and-a-half. so there's an upset for you right there. put it in your bracket organ over

south carolina. if it doesn't work out though, kate, you didn't hear it? for me. >> well, i mean, honestly, it's so boring, did choose the 16 over the cinderella stories of 60 over one like that's the front of it. that's basically i think half my bracket two because i don't have any chance of winning k. go ahead and pick those 16s, okay? yes. >> mean that bracket. and basically it ensures i'm going to go further in my pool that you are because you just have to predict the impossible and then you're actually going to do quite well. that's my advice, which no one should take. >> it's good to see you, andy >> all right we're cinderella story. >> cinderella obviously get a lot of seinfeld episode or cinderella aco, she says he's a seinfeld episode. you might say he is the master of his domain, at least today. my getting that right, that seinfeld reference right here. very funny. all right? this morning oprah. opens up. oprah winfrey, delving into weight loss in the surging popularity of

mitigations like ozempic and wegovy in way she has not before. this was was gayle king and charles barkley on king charles seen as make her l is with us now, what did he have to say? >> well, john, she talked a lot about why she did this special. she's talked about how much shame she has experienced in her own career and life over her size. she said she really wanted to start reducing that shame and blame. she also said she wanted to raise more awareness about the drugs themselves. she talked about a family member. she said who contacted her about doing like a sugar fast for a month and she was like, no, no, no. i need to tell you about these medicines. she said she also wanted to explain to more people how these drugs work. but one thing she told gael and charles last night is about what she thinks. the next part of the conversation for these medicines is here's what she said. >> the next big special or conversation is going to be about costs because i want to know why the people in canada are paying $250 and people in united states, some parts are

paying $1,000 a month. some people are paying 2000 oprah and all of congress and pretty much all of the united states wants the answer to that question. i mean, this is a huge part of politics right now is drug pricing, but she's right in the united states, these medicines before insurance costs about $1,000 per month. and we have heard stories about folks going to canada and spending about $300 there's a month to get these medicines. they have a single-payer healthcare system is complicated, but this is why we see prices a lot lower and other countries than in the united states. another huge issue with these medicines is actually something we heard from charles barkley. he said he has been taking mounjaro, which is another medicine in this class. here's what he told gael about his experience with that said you have trouble getting the drug over when you said people can get it, you said your dog can't get it, >> can't get it because i've ashley, did you say your name was charles barack? i did. i was 285. i started at 03:55.

i've actually gained 12 pounds back because i haven't had much daro in like four months. oh, wow. >> and i'm working out, but >> gain a toilet pounds like the same as gain of 60. i agree. >> so i'm hoping at some point that i can get back on the drug because i want to get the 270 guys. >> this is a problem we hear about what these medicines they can be in shortage and hard to find. and if you stop taking them, it can be hard to sustain the results, although 12 pounds not bad if you lost 60 guys know, that wasn't discussion. make sure well, thank you very much for that >> okay. >> so in a speech on the arizona state senate floor on monday, democratic state senator ever burch shared a deeply personal story underscoring the real impact of abortion legislation on people's lives. senator birch told her colleagues that she recently discovered she was pregnant, a pregnancy that she wants her family once, but after hearing after a recent check-up, she's learned that

she has to get an abortion because of hurt. >> her health and because of the condition of the baby >> after numerous ultrasounds and blood draws, we have determined that my pregnancy is once again not progressing and is not viable once again i have scheduled an appointment to terminate my pregnancy i don't think people should have to justify their abortions, but i'm choosing to talk about why i made this decision. because i want us to be able to have meaningful conversations about the reality of how the work that we do in this body impacts people in the real-world >> that arizona state senator birch joins me now cetera. thank you so much for coming on. um it's hard to not, hard to not listen, listen to this and be heartbroken and struck. and also so impressed with your courage about talking about this. so publicly, while you're still in absolutely in the middle of it. so thank you for coming on. >> you made very clear

>> why you decided to speak out about this, that you're hoping to move this fight, this debate around. reproductive care and abortion into a conversation and more meaningful conversation than what you're seeing right now? what have you heard from people since telling your story this week >> the response that i have had has been really overwhelming. and honestly it's been overwhelmingly positive. so many people who were coming forward with their own stories and their own experiences. and i think that the most important thing that we can really get out of all of this is what should we be doing different? what should we be doing better and how did we get where we are now? and how do we go somewhere? that's a more honest and accurate picture so that patients are having the experiences that they need and deserve in the clinical setting instead of having this mandated rhetoric that is really souring the experience and leading to

potentially worse outcomes and just worst quality of care and your remarks >> when >> i was watching it over and over again you said once again, you determine the pregnancy, isn't viable. and once again, you have to schedule an appointment to terminate the pregnancy. can you share a little bit more about your journey with trying to have children? >> yes i'm very comfortable having that conversation. this is my fourth pregnancy loss >> i have two >> children who i've carried very safely to term, but for whatever reason, i've had some difficulty and a lot of it probably has to do with my age. i didn't meet my husband until a little bit later in life and we have tried, but we've decided we're not going to try anymore. i know people can be a little bit reluctant to ask about where i am in the process, but but i did have my procedure yesterday and i'm very comfortable talking about that if anybody has any questions about it. but that's

something that is the second time. now that i felt like that was the right decision for me. and i think that we have this stigma that certain individuals tried to push about who the abortion patient is. we need to have a more honest and accurate conversation about the abortion patient you showing that you had the procedure you had the abortion yesterday. how are you feeling? i mean, this is i mean, i mentioned that you're in the middle of it, but this is truly happening in real time. in this environment that we know. i mean, an arizona is a huge conversation around. it's a 15-week ban in arizona and alders conversations about it being a near total ban, but sharing this so publicly, this doesn't happen very often. senator how are you feeling? >> to be honest with you, i'm feeling really good. i'm feeling so lucky to have the opportunity to hopefully i'm potentially make an impact
