tv   First of All With Victor Blackwell  CNN  April 13, 2024 5:00am-6:00am PDT

5:00 am
different name in mind, plus actor gabriel luna is with me. he's a star of the last of us, but his latest role is trying to change how latinos and hispanics are portrayed in media okay, we'll talk to him about why and how he plans to do that >> so many interesting topics across i'll be watching have a great show, victor. >> thanks so much. let's start the show right now >> so, >> first of all, we talk a lot about black voters who support donald trump, but we don't often hear from them. i'm not talking about the people who hold the blacks for trump signs at the rallies. not that i'm talking about. the people at your church down at the job, the neighbors. and that might explain why the reception the former president got from a parrot supporters at a chick-fil-a went viral that trump's backers claim this clip is proof that he really is
5:01 am
winning over black voters let me give you >> now skeptics see this is a plan campaign stuck. the kayla montgomery, the woman there hugging the former president conservative media has been playing this clip of her hugging trump on a loop almost every hour on fox. understand that this was no chance meeting makayla told trump that she canvassed for him. she fund raised for him. she volunteered for the georgia gop. she organized the crowd of students and brought them there because he was coming. trump didn't just happen to walk into a random chicken joint and all the black people we'll just stood up and cheered michela says that she and the hbcu students with her now have
5:02 am
gotten a lot of backlash because of this video. and i plan to ask her about all of that and we invited her to the show. she accepted the invitation to come on but then she canceled. she did. however, as i mentioned, she spoke the fox this is a sentiment. i get a lot coming from the young people themselves is that they feel like he's honest. they feel like this is somebody who, while we might not agree with how he says things, how he goes about things, at least he's telling us what it is. we don't feel like this is a snake in the grass waiting for his chance. it's the brightest >> my next guess represents a district where there's viral meeting happened. republican georgia state representative misha maynor is here with me. thank you so much for your time today my kayla montgomery, lauded by the wright excoriated by the left. you met with her? yes. today or earlier in this week what's your reaction to what you've heard the reaction
5:03 am
to that moment with the former president let me first off, just say hi, bison >> hu >> she's a single mom, so she had the of responsibility that may be the reason she canceled. i don't want to make it seem like it's a negative okay. sure. he or she is politically involved in the movement. she organizes grassroots for hbcus few weeks ago, we did bloom event for young women. she helped coordinate that with her organization called conserve the culture. i think what we have to remember really is all black people are not the same even though president biden says, oh, black people are the same, we're really aren't. and so that's the main thing we have different opinions. we have different likes, we have different interests, we have different policy priorities. and if we all just get along
5:04 am
and learn to respect each other's opinion, we would be in a much better here's the reaction from the biden campaign, thinking black voters relate to donald trump because he spent 20 minutes handing out free beings at a fast food restaurant is yet another >> insult to our intelligence and perfect example of just how disingenuous trump's outreach to black voters continues to be. you got any response to that? >> my initial response would be something negative, so i'm trying to not be negative and say that to say that if you don't vote for him or you don't vote democrat, you're not black to just put us in a box is what my problem is. we care about legal immigration. many black people we care about public safety. we do not want to defund the police. we care about educational opportunities where donald donald trump has been to my district twice. once on-chip to the chick-fil-a on mlk, which is the neighborhood
5:05 am
grew up in. and two and he went to rice street, boats ofwat it for being there's a look. sometimes he comes unexpectedly and sometimes he comes expectedly and we just need to embrace that. everyone does not think the same really the major issue here is what are the policy issues that are most important to people in black communities? >> that really is this shift and we see it in younger voters. this is fascinating new report from pew on the trend of black voters. so follow me a lot of numbers here, but stay with me. everybody. 2030 for teens, 7% of black voters over 50 were registered are leaning republicans, 9% of blacks under 50 were fast-forward ten years, still 7% of black voters over 50 were registered republicans at 7% 17% of the voters under 50 now are leaning or
5:06 am
registered republicans. so nearly 100% increase in ten years representative, what do you think that generational shift is attributed to? >> i think at the end of the day, we put a lot of emphasis on the presidential election. the presidential election is not putting food on people's table. the presidential election is not helping kids learn how to read people are realizing that school board members are very important. your county commissioners are very important. your city council members are very important. and that's what i'm out educating. my community let's look at local politics because media, will drag deaths from what really is important and what really is important is local policies that really impact us every day. and it's those republican policies georgia, at the georgia state
5:07 am
representative, leeches past a lot of tax laws that are going to put more money into people's pockets, people or more? we're interested in that. then the chaos around in the presidential election, as far as black people are, state is also passed a heartbeat bill banning for most cases, abortion after six weeks. and the vice president was an arizona putting that on donald trump, but i'm sure she'll come and make a similar speech in georgia to how much do you think that will impact the vote here? and especially women, the age of michela montgomery that the democrats are targeting heartbeat bill passed before i was in office. so i can't really speak to the dynamics of that. what i can say is that i do believe that women should have a choice i think that they are different reasons why people were women have
5:08 am
abortions. one of the things i'm really proud how to say this past session, we did a lot of bills from maternal mortality, as well as infant mortality. we have a new maternal health commission that we're trying to get started with that that's my answer to that. >> are say, representative mesa beta. thanks so much for coming on >> thank you. >> let's keep the conversation going now with the quarter light core tay, he's the host of a more perfect union on kb ela talk radio is also a professor at pepperdine and the author of the upcoming book, camila, the motherland and me nicolae, good to see you again. good to have you on i was going to start talking about cornel west and dr. melina abdullah. but if you heard that last conversation with a representative manner, there is this trend over ten years where we're seeing an increase of younger voters moving and toward republicans to what do you attribute that if anything
5:09 am
>> well, good morning, victor. i attribute that to the fact that there are a number of voters that are just absolutely disillusioned and disenchanted and disappointed politics has been an it's been rough these past several years, especially coming out of the darkest days of the pandemic and while there has been progress, progress has been very slow the president oftentimes talks about the government giving folks that breathing room well enough people aren't feeling that breathing room fast enough. and so they're looking at alternatives and in a healthy democracy, they shouldn't be able to look at alternatives. but they also shouldn't be the subject of misinformation and disinformation either. all right. let's talk now about the announcement from dr. cornel west, the independent candidate for president announcing his running mate. dr. melina abdullah, professor pan african studies at cal
5:10 am
state, and a black lives matter organizer. in other cycles, a third party candidate who is polling in the low single-digits announcing a running mate would be met with a shrug why is this not that >> well, this is not that because dr. west happened to oose a leader from the black lives matter movement. it wasn't that long ago where the blm movement i was one of the biggest movements, not just across theountry, t around the world and in recent years, there have been some challenges related to the blm black lives matter grassroots organition has continued to be on the forefront of issues that are fundamentally what they believe >> look >> it's not it's not on it's unlikely that there are folks out there that will look at
5:11 am
this ticket and maybe give it a second glance. it's not insignificant that dr. west has chosen dr. abdullah to be his vp and what makes it really, really important to look at is the fact that right now there's a lot of political headwinds blowing not too long ago, we saw a record number of folks vote uncommitted in places like michigan and wisconsin these are young voters, some of them are black voters. these are folks that are looking four different options. and so while there are a number of people in the beltway that might think organized money and organize people win elections and it doesn't seem that this campaign is getting the traction that it needs to do that they also should not dismiss it at face value. yeah. right now, the campaign says there on the ballot in four states, alaska, oregon, south carolina, and utah. but as you make the point, if they get on
5:12 am
the ballot in georgia, if they get on the ballot in michigan, in pennsylvania in wisconsin, where it's tight. some around some of these major cities may be having a black lives matter organizer could i guess bring over enough of the disillusioned democrats to say biden has earned it. maybe this ticket has. let me, let me go to this >> no >> one expects it. they're going to get 270 electoral votes. so what is a win for the west ability ticket? >> well, if they are following the reverend al sharpton model, remember back in 2004, reverend sharpton ran for president and the wind for him was elevating an urban agenda, a black agenda, a racial justice agenda if they are able to get on a debate stage, if they're able to gain some traction that could be a win but alternatively siphoning off votes from the biden campaign could they might view that as a
5:13 am
win? i think a lot of folks might, may view that as a great loss >> i'm not >> making any predictions here, but i'm saying again, organized as money, organized, people win elections and i took a gander at their platform and it seems they have work to do. i know dr. west is planning to hit the road. there'll be in scranton, pennsylvania and in texas and in colorado. in the next couple of weeks >> but >> it's one thing to show up. in these places is another thing to turn this moment into a movement. and so we'll wait and see the court of law forte. thank you so much for joining me. thank you, victor, while we're talking about 20:24, the historic first criminal trial of former president trump starts with jury selection in new york on monday watch special live coverage starting to get nine eastern on cnn. and streaming on macs coming up, the community, it says, their youth suicide rate is 3.5 times

5:19 am
misconduct by social media companies is hurting their children on tuesday, the spirit lake and menominee tribes filed separate lawsuits against social media companies including the parent companies have facebook, google, and tiktok. the chairwoman of the menominee tribe says that we are demanding these social media corporations take responsibility for intentionally creating dangerous features that ramp up the competitive also use of social media b by the youth on our reservation according to the cdc, native americans have the highest rate of suicide among all ethnic ethnicities. now for native teenagers suicide rates are almost three-and-a-half times higher than the national average. that's according to the center for native american in youth. joining me now is jasmine wildcat. she's a member of the centers youth advisory board. i think we have a problem with her shot, but we will get back to her as soon as we can. i want you to hear from what some of these social media companies said. those named in the
5:20 am
lawsuit. key parts of their statements into us as we try to get jasmine back meta says, the parent company of facebook and instagram. they said in part that these are complex issues, but we will continue working with experts and listing to parents to develop new tools, features, and policies that are effective and meet the needs of their teens and their families alphabet, this is the parent company of google and youtube. they said in part, in collaboration with youth mental health, and parenting experts, we built services and policies to provide young people with age appropriate experiences and parents with robust controls the allegations in these complaints are simply not true. this is part of snapchats stay-puft. we will always have more work to do and we'll continue to work to make snapchat a platform that helps close feel a close friends feel connected, happy, and prepare as they face the many challenges of adolescents. and
5:21 am
we also reached out to bytedance and the parent company of tiktok, but we haven't heard back. we've got jasmine back. so jasmine, let me go straight into my first question and thank you for being with me, the chairperson of the spirit lake nation says that quote native youth are particularly vulnerable to the social media apps why are they more vulnerable than other young people >> yeah, i believe that native youth number vulnerable because due to genocide and assimilation this is, this is paving the way for intergenerational trauma and buy having this intergenerational trauma, we already predisposed to different mental health issues and an addictions this sort of leads to that heavy reliance on social media this heavy reliance you see a lot of youth who are struggling to find
5:22 am
their identities and our seeking validation that they might not have in their own home and >> i mentioned from the cdc that they say that native americans have and also alaska natives the highest suicide rate of any of the ethnicities if there, if that exists among other age groups, what is the connection to the social media companies? for young people as tragic as those numbers are three-and-a-half times for youth why are they responsible for what's happening to children? if we also see it in adults >> yeah. i mean, i think social media is just the them targeting the younger generation. and i think for native youth, especially being
5:23 am
in rural areas, some people may never have left. their, their, their role. rural area, or their reservation and are you social media, especially as an outlet to experience the world >> they >> may not know anything, anything else and that's how they stay connected. so i think that's especially why i think native youth are infected. >> so at least once a year there there's this showdown between members of congress and the heads of these social media companies and members drill them and they say that reform is coming and that they're going to reform section two 30 of the communications decency act, which gives them the company's this shield for what they they allow on that platforms congress has not done it. they have this liability. it is what is protected them from lawsuits before. why do you expect that this will be different?
5:24 am
>> yeah, i really expect that this to be different because i think the statistics don't lie this is a very important issue, and this is just one of the factors that is contributing to it i think that this is an epidemic going on that are for our native youth are dying at rates that have pretty much been unheard of. so i think that this lawsuit will bring forth an issue and showcase as this is as tragic as these numbers are what we've seen though, is that the second two, 30 of the communications decency act has protected these companies will see if this lawsuit is any different. jasmine wildcat. thank you so much for being with me. now, if you at home, you are watching and you are struggling, there is help call or text 988 to reach the suicide and crisis lifeline 24/7, free and confidential coming up the

5:29 am
reviews, women everywhere i breaking up with bad bros, hybrid sola alvarez at the white house and this is cnn >> since the bridge collapse in baltimore, there's now a new debate over what to name the replacement and whether this is time to make a change. the bridge was named for francis scott key. he wrote the words that became the star-spangled banner on national anthem we also own slaves at one point. and a group of civil rights organizers in maryland, they
5:30 am
called themselves that caucus of african-american leaders then, now demanding the francis scott key bridge be renamed once it's rebuilt, about the governor of maryland and the mayor of baltimore were asked about changing the name this week, but they died i think that any conversations about anything else, there will be time for any any and all of the conversations. but right now, if we're not focused on those four things, then we're being distracted. >> these families haven't had funerals for their loved ones. we haven't recovered. everybody and we should be having those conversations as we would say in church and decency in an order. and when we would not want someone to be talking about renaming something, if we lost a loved one that we haven't even had the ability to identify yet call snowden the founder of the caucus of african-american leaders, is with me now, mr. snowden, thank you for being with me. i offer just the overview here. but you make the case why rename the bridge?
5:31 am
>> well, first let's respond to what was just said >> why? now >> model is the king junior once said, the time that you write is always now. the fact of the matter is that we should be looking at renaming the bridge francis scott key lottery wrote the star star banner, but he was also a slaveholder and his brother-in-law, roger taney wrote the infamous dred scott decision. and the decision was made four years ago to remove a statue of roger taney had been on state grounds 100 years because we in maryland decided that symbols are important. so i think at this point, we have an opportunity to rename the bridge after a great merlin his name was congressman per and j mitchell use of found that the congressional black caucus he represented the district in which that bridge is located. and more importantly, he
5:32 am
represents inclusion. he represents someone who was trying to make america better and better and we have a situation with of the bridge. now is very divisive. its offensive they're african americans, taxpayers who live in a state of maryland who should not be required to spend eight tax dollars bill rebuilding the bridge named docker slave hold. >> but this is also the conversation we've been having this sense certainly 2020, to a greater extent than before then and removals of confederate statues and renaming of military bases. the question is, what then is it's the line. i mean, george washington owned slaves, but nobody has renamed the national, the capital or taking them off the dollar bill >> what >> is, what should disqualify? one is the broader question well, i think anna politicians, marylanders, citizens of america, have the right to
5:33 am
>> petition their elected officials. this is a complicated question adult, their people believe that there were men and women who were slaveholders who should be honored. i haven't have a different opinion. i think that we as americans should honor people, that all americans can be proud of the debate whether jefferson and washington and should be removed. i'm sure that that's a debate that some of ham, but i want to remind people that when we move to remove the statue of roger taney, who was the only maryland serve as a chief judge. >> there was a lot of debate >> but eventually as people to learn more about who roger taney was, they decided that that statue should come there. and i think the same thing will happen in this case. >> yeah. >> let me people don't realize who he was. >> let me play for you something to happened in 2018. we just heard from governor wes moore. i want you to hear they're from private citizen wes moore. this is when he was hosting a monthly npr show. and the question was about
5:34 am
confederate statues. here's what he said then whether or not we learn from our history is not the question. what do we celebrate about our history is an understanding that interpretation of historical events is just that it's an interpretation and how people view that interpretation directly affects whether or not a person feels that our society welcomes them cares for them and invest in them >> from what you heard there, do you think that suggest that he is sympathetic to the call that he will likely change the name of the bridge i'm really proud of governor wes moore, governor wes moore in your short tenure and public office has done more to bring marylanders together. >> and >> i i respect his leadership. i think he will bring a number of people together, different points of views will have an opportunity to have a discussion with them. the caucus or african american leaders meet with government more on a quarterly basis. we hope to be meeting with him
5:35 am
verse and to have this discussion all right, welcome his views on this particular subject matter called snowden. i thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up and escalating feud between governor kristi noem and native american tribes in south dakota why she's now banned from a growing part of the state. she governs >> how it really happened. >> sunday, april 28, did nine on cnn when you're the leader is ask the cleanup and restoration. how do you make like it never even happened >> happened >> brand >> whatever comes your way. there's a pro for that serve pro

south dakota governor kristi noem is not welcome in a growing number of places in her state. she's now banned from for tribal reservations. this week, the standing rock sioux tribe and rosebuds sioux joined the obx lala sue and the cheyenne river sioux in banner it was in reaction to these recent comments? no. made linking tribal leaders to mexican drug cartels >> here in on our tribal reservations. trafficking drugs kids, and sex trafficking out at south dakota throughout the midwest. and these communities and our travel reservations are living in fear you've, got some tribal leaders that i believe are personally benefited from the car. viagra, and that's why they attack me every day >> governor now i'm also accused native american parents have not being involved enough in their children's lives in february, i spoke with the president of the ogallala sioux
5:41 am
tribe after they voted to banish noem over similar rhetoric, he says that she's targeting them to scores and political points he utilized are trying in that we believe for political >> gain >> and some of the things that she mentioned on there were disrespectful to the tribe without our knowledge >> political context here is that no was reportedly on former president trump's vice president short list. so take that into context sometimes. and this caught my eye. there's a study that comes along that confirms what you already assumed was happening. or this is one of those and this is our discrimination. and looking forward, bob, economists with the national bureau of economic research sent out more than 80,000 fake resumes, to fortune 500 companies. and they changed applicants names to suggest that they were white or black, or male or female? al so they used the shia or emily on one
5:42 am
