2:11 pm
conducting aunbias and fair investigation into everything that occd. >> so the officers say they stopped read becau he was not weing a seat belt in the video, it looks like reads windows are tinted. now, this is just from video. i'm done the officers have beenbl tell wheer he was wearing a se belt through os every time we look at a shooting, we're lking at the totality of e circumstance so that uld include any of thinteractions that lead to officers interacting with dexter read and so we will specifically in this investigation, be looking at whathat led to in precipitated the traffic stop in offssets? yes. your >> office says, after reviewing priminary evidence that it appears that dexter read fired first, that obviously would be very significant finding. was that determition made by reviewing the video and audio that you're office released today and and slowing it down and studying it, how did you reach that conclusion
2:12 pm
>> correct. the evidence we have at this time, obviously, dexter read having been fatally shot, cannot provide his version of eves. and so the informatiothat we ha at this time is largely focused on inteiews from officers as wells obviously the audi defootage. however, i just, that moment is verportant inhis investigation, but as are every singlespect of the interaction starting from the traffic stop, all the way through the conclusion of the 96. er cisco, ere's year okay. today, you sd that prelimary evidence confirm that t four officers returned fire approximately 96 times er a period of 41 seconds. would that be considered excessive force curious thing can you hear me i can, ye would that be considered excessive force >> the 96 times and 41econds?
2:13 pm
>> every te an officer uses force under cppolicy that use of deadly force has to be necessary and proportional and objection objective, reasonable. so that's exactly whate wille determining in the course of our admistrative investigation into this use of force all right >> andrew kirsten. thank you so much. appreciate your time. gooduck with the investigation. turning now to our sports lead, the national association of intercollegiate athlics,hich represents 241 aller colleges and univsities. they just approved a new policy banning transgender women from participating in most of its sports programs. the policy which will go into an effect in august says, quo, only naia and that's the organization only naia student-athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in an ia sponsored female sports now an aia defines biological sex, the term they use as having distinguishing characteristics and can be supported by birth certificate or signed affidavit
2:14 pm
unquote, and a iea member colleges and universities have more than 83,000 student athletes among them joining us down to discuss as journalist and author of fairplay how sports shape the gender debate. katie barnes. katie, thank you for joining us. what do you make of the naia new transgender participation policy? >> well i think it is >> reflective of >> the times that we are in in terms of for the last three or four years, we have seen most policy updates when it comes to transgender athletes, be reflective of restriction and in favor of more restrictive policy. and this seems to fall right in line with that there is a narrative that transgender female athletes have an advantage that they always win, that the reason that men and women generally compete in separate gender categories is because it's not particularly competitive for men to compete
2:15 pm
against women does studies support that >> well, i think it depends on what you mean by support that for my reporting and having really reported this out for many years, the reality is, is that from a scientist effect perspective, we know that there are differences in sexes and we know that the differences do tend to lead to athletic performance differences as well however when we look at broad-based restriction at all levels of sport, it's very challenging to say that scientifically we've got a supported in all cases meaning that something that mighbe not necessarily apply tooes basketll. when it comes to individuals force versus team sports, as well as level of competition >>he >> idea i think that transgender won have an advantage in all sports at all times regard heartless of any kind of medical transition. i don't think that the
2:16 pm
scientific literature supports that at this time. >> would there be a way to come up with a rule that was more individual specific or sport-specific that might not be i mean, it sounds as though you're you're suggesting if i'm putting words in your wrong, i apologize. in your mouth, i apologize. it sounds like you're suggesting this policy is not necessarily fair, given how blanket it is, is there a way to do something like this that would be more fair and more reflective of what is factually known about gender differences and transports, et cetera. >> i don't know if it's i don't know if it's right for me to say whether or not this particular policy is fair. >> i >> think that right now where we are as a society is really grappling with what does fair and appropriate policy look like and in general, most athletic organizations and many states across the country are
2:17 pm
embracing a blanket restriction. and i think there are a lot of people raising questions about whether or not that is fair and appropriate policy in all cases. >> i do >> think that the jury is out on that, especially because what do you look at the nih there isn't necessarily a track record of transgender women competing in women's sports and dominating doesn't really seem like there is a particular problem. look to be solved. in this case in general, the real question is going to be what policy can withstand being tested >> and be accepted when a transgender woman does compete and win, it seems like right now the answer to that question is looking to remove any possibility of a transgender woman being able to participate and compete it women's sports at a variety of levels. and in this case, including collegiately do we have any idea what the numbers are of transgender athletes that are
2:18 pm
participating in college or university athletics or even junior high or high school athletics i mean, the amount of coverage and attention it gets is significant and i don't know how many people were even talking about necessarily we're talking about a very small number of people. i think that's really important to acknowledge especially now that 24 states have passed restrictive policies will have passed restrictive legislation, excuse me that affects k through 12 and often college sports and so at about half the country, a transgender girls and women don't have the access to girls and women sports at this time. anyway, in those states where you still have transgender girls and women eligible to participate and girls, a women's sports. the numbers that are doing so or not necessarily known. it's not a dataset that is readily
2:19 pm
available, but from the reporting that i've done over the years the accepted numbers, so to speak, is very small and very few oftentimes in states where this has been debated and a number of athletes have come forward who are younger, who are talking about their experiences >> we're talking about >> single-digits in each state. in the collegiate ranks, even though the ncw, for example, supports sports that have about half 1 million athletes across 24 sports at all three divisions. you're still looking at a very small number probably
2:20 pm
we don't know that specifically, but i've been told from sources that as well under 100 that are actively using the answer we is i'll see that in naia. we don't really know how many known athletes there are. but it also is very small. and so we're >> not talking about thousands of athletes or tens of thousands of athletes were oftentimes talking about hundreds, maybe tent katie barnes, thanks so much. really appreciate your time >> thank you for having me >> spring break did nothing to break. a similarly simmering feud among some house republicans, fresh new drama today occluding over the house gop plan to send articles of impeachment of the department

2:25 pm
night and a scathing five-page letter to her republican colleagues. play me johnson for quote throwing our own razor-thin majority into chaos by not serving his own gop conference that elected him unquote cnn's melanie zanona joins us from capitol hill green letter. melanie also warns that she will not tolerate johnson's upcoming push to put on the floor for a vote, a ukraine aid bill. what exactly does that mean? won't tolerate it. >> well, great has been very careful not to draw any red line. she still has not said if and when she's actually going to force a potential floor vote on ousting the speaker despite us repeatedly pressing her, but she has warned and suggested that if johnson moves ahead with ukraine funding as he has promised, he is going to do that could lead to his ultimate ouster. are manu raju caught up with green earlier today? here's what she had to say >> if mike johnson wants to lead that after he voted no against funding, 300 million to ukraine just back in september, he's going to make my case for me and he makes it even easier for what i'm trying to do. i'm
2:26 pm
not laying out my red lines, my triggers, a date and a giant headline that's not what this is about. this is about how to process that has to take time that needs to be done well because so much at stake. >> now some republicans think that marjorie taylor greene is just using this threat as a scare tactic to try to get her way on ukraine. other things that she's simply just doing this for or attention. but if you're mike johnson, you cannot take anhing for chance, especially given the razor house majority, right now. and he is really struggled to rein in marjorie taylor greene. he was hoping to speak with her over the recess break, buthat call never happened and marjorie taylor greene says she refused to speak with them because she wanted to speak to her constituents. at a. town hall yesterday. so far, they have not connected yet though, which is a huge problem for speaker mike johnson as he heads into this pivotal week for his speakership. melanie, what are you hearing from other lawmakers? for his are they're democrats or republicans who will go along and join green if she files a motion to vacate and remove him as house
2:27 pm
speaker. >> well, the house is still really sculpt barred from that last motion to vacate in my conversations with senior lawmakers here on capitol hill, there is a feeling that there's going to be enough republicans and democrats who joined hands and table or kill a potential motion to vacate. but at the same time, marjorie taylor greene says she has some other silent republicans who are on her side there have been some who have not said where they stand yet, and democrats have said they would only step in to save johnson if he does put the right thing on ukraine, but that's really open four interpretation. and so it's a risky strategy for johnson to simply rely on democratic votes. and again, he cannot take anything for chance here. >> and there's also some new developments in the house. republicans impeachment push against homeland security. alejandro mayorkas, they obviously already voted to impeach him. what comes next? >> yeah. well, initially the house was going to send over those impeachment articles on wednesday over to the senate. but they just announced that they are going to delay that to next week and that is because senate republicans had been urging mike johnson to delay this step. so that they could
2:28 pm
build war time to build a case for a trial that is something that democrats are planning to dismiss quickly. republicans want to have a strategy to counter that effort. but as of right now now, democrats still insisting that they're planning to dismiss that trial quickly. >> all right. cnn's melanie zanona on capitol hill. thanks so much with us now, republican congressman mike lawler of, new york, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for >> having me, j. so i'm sorry. these are my questions, but i didn't create this drama and it's very real and i'm not the one that agreed to a one-person motion to vacate. that's you guys, not me. cnn was shown a copy of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's letter to her republican colleagues. did you get a copy? i did. >> so what do you think of it? >> look, i think it's a bunch of hogwash. i mean, at the end of the day here, the american people elected a house republican majority to govern, to serve as a check and balance on the biden administration not to fight amongst ourselves. it's mind-boggling to me that after what happened in october,
2:29 pm
where eight republicans teamed up with 208 democrats to remove kevin mccarthy and throw our majority into disarray that we would be back in this situation where a member is bringing forward a motion to vacate to say that mike johnson is not a conservative. i would hate to know what she thinks of me then because obviously, i'm representing a district, joe biden won by ten points, right? that's home to bill and hillary clinton and george soros mike johnson's and one of the most conservative districts in the country what nothing that i think he is just as a factual matter, at least in the modern era the most conservative republican when you combine it with social issues, to ever be speaker, ever that may move lb with the smallest majority ever and so for me, we have issues that are on our side, whether you're talking about the border, whether you're talking about the affordability crisis you see the democrats
2:30 pm
disintegrating on israel before our very eyes and senator schumer and nancy pelosi throwing israel under the bus here meanwhile, we have marjorie taylor greene now trying to make this all about a motion to vacate. we have to work together. we have to get the agenda, the american people passed and that includes supporting our allies like ukraine, china, russia. and i ran are not our friends, right? they are not our allies. but ukraine is an ally and the reality is if ukraine falls moldova and other former soviet satellite states will be in grave jeopardy and you look at the situation in the middle east. you see democrats wanting to put conditions on aid to israel that cannot be hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks to destroy the state of israel and as far as i'm concerned, we have an obligation as leader of the free world to support our allies in this time of need. >> so speaking of ukraine, i
2:31 pm
want to play for you something that ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy said earlieeek you show if congress does not help ukraine, ukraine will lose the war. and we need to find a public format for this if ukraine loses the war, other states will be attacked if congress doesn't help ukraine, ukraine will lose the war. what did people like marjorie taylor greene. how did they respond when you make the argument that this is about more than ju h beef with eaker johnson, that this is actually aboutuman lives and the ture of her european countries okay? i thi as i just said, i other eroviet satellite e states four with it. some of my colleagues say there' corruption in these countries. yes, we know that for 30 plus years they do york, they have new york's one of the most corrupt states in the spring. former soviesatellite states,

2:39 pm
production of the 7707 and 7807 dreamliner jets >> the release saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align basically, by jumping up and down. that's how you build that >> indeed, following responded to the whistleblower's claims specifically about the 7807 saying, quote, these claims about the structural integrity of the seven at seven or inaccurate and do not represent the comprehensive work boeing has done to ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft unquote boeing has not responded about the 7707 and now the federal aviation ministration is investigating thwhisistleblower's claims. let's bring in the former us department of transportation inspector general mary schiavo, just noting that mary does have ongoing litigation with boeing concern turn7307 max jet crashes rried the whistleblower claims that boeing is more concerned about how fast they ke their pnes rather than hosa it is.
2:40 pm
what's ur reaction to tha >> well, my reaction is, you know, a lot of a lot of her people have also me that claim inhe fact thathe faa is now maybe a little too little too lat but hisaa is now stepping in and sang, we're reviewing boeing. they did a nuerf audits at differt plants. they're ing allhe procees and the fact tt they're taking this waa blower these allegations seriouy and investigating is a what the faa supposed tdo and be also a ma of important timi. maybe at other tim when boeing wasn't under the microscope, these allegations would not so alarming and the a would not beesponding so quickly. but i think the sponses the faa is taking them very riously. as should boeing. so i think the response was probay too early for them to sathey're not concerned, they should be. >> well, he also claims th eing has a culture where employee ccerns when they express coerns about things they're met with retaliation, which means theoretically there
2:41 pm
