It is the top of hour on cnn newsroom. Im alisyn camerota. And im victor blackwell. Today two Border State Republicans are taking their immigration battle up north. But families are stuck in the middle. Greg abbott ordered more than 1 100 migrants but bused and dropped off at Kamala Harriss home at the conservatory. They have already bused thousands of migrants to other states in recent weeks and they are said to be used as political pawns. The fact that fox news and not the department of homeland security, the city or local ngos were alerted about a plan to leave migrants, including children on the side of a busy d. C. Street makes clear this is just a cruel premeditated political stunt. And then there is Florida Governor ron desantis and hes gloating that he chartered two flights to carry migrants to Marthas Vineyard. Including Young Children who were arriving without any warning to local officials who scrambled to set them up in a nearby church. But here is how Governor Desantis sees it. Were not a Sanctuary State and it is better to go to a sank sureary jurisdiction and well have facilitate that transport for you to go to greener pastures. Every community in america should be sharing in the burdens and it shouldnt fall on a handful of red states. Rosa flores joins us now from houston. So rosa, are Governor Desantis and Governor Abbott coordinating on this . You know, according to Governor Abbotts Press Secretary, the two governors are having conversations about the Busing Strategy. But the Press Secretary said that Governor Abbott had nothing to do with the planes to Marthas Vineyard. Here is the state. Quote, our office has had conversations with Governor Desantis and his team about supporting our Busing Strategy to provide muchneeded relief to our overwhelmed and overrun border communities. Though, we were not involved in these initial planes to Marthas Vineyard, we appreciate the support in responding to this National Crisis and helping texans. Now this statement goes on to say that they welcome the help from other governors as well who would like to take part on this strategy. Now, alisyn and victor, i would point out that ive talked to many migrants along the border who are very grateful for these governors and also as of late, the City Of El Paso which is democratic led for these poll politicians to get involved to other parts of country for free, is what the migrants call it. But this is at the cost of the taxpayers in arizona, in texas, now apparently in florida as well and as well as el paso. So, rosa, the migrants, how are they able to travel right now. I imagine they have to some points to be in front of Immigration Judges in texas if theyre in massachusetts, how do they get back to these appointments, these hearings. So it is the responsibility of the migrant to change their i. C. E. Checkin from texas or from wherever their packet said to where they end up. So let me go through the process really quickly because how this works on border is the migrants turn themself into Border Patrol agents. After that, theyre taken to processing facilities or Border Patrol stations. Now there is still title 42 in place and so immigration agents do still, and ive talked to migrants who have been swiftly returned to mexico. Now they dont return everybody. Ive talked to a lot of venezuelans and cubans and Nica Nicaraguas where they were allowed to enter the country. They are dropped at cities all along the u. S. Border. Ive talked to many of them in texas and from there that is where they take their transportation to points across the country. Now, alisyn and victor, what they have is a little packet. I looked at that packet. What it says, it has their names, their personal information, and it also states that they have 60 days to check in with i. C. E. With Immigration Officials or they could be removed from this country. And it also said that they have up to a year to then seek asylum. So between that point, when they first enter the country and any sort of asylum hearing, it could be months, it could be years. Because of the backlog in this country. Rosa flores with the reporting there from houston. Thank you. So the massachusetts island, Marthas Vineyard had no warning before migrants began arriving. Local groups and businesses are quickly stepping up efforts to help. Joining us now, someone leading one of the efforts, karen tully. From harbor homes of Marthas Vineyard. Thank you for being with us. Let me start with when the migrants first arrived, what did they know, what didnt they know about why they were there and what was happening . As far as i know, they landed at Marthas Vineyard airport. They took maybe a two mile bus ride, it was supposedly directed toward Marthas Vineyard Community Services which is our large Behavioral Health center on the island. And from there they were shuffled across the street to a cafeteria in the local high school. Translators were provided so i know that they have information firsthand about where the guests thought they were going and what the purpose of it was. But when i saw the cluster of people in the cafeteria last evening, it was a couple of hours after they had landed, you know other than the kids being outside playing, and stretching their legs finally after a long plane ride, the adults seemed somewhat confused and tired and trying to explain to translators what little knowledge they had about the trip. Karen, what happened now . What happens to kids and adults . Where will they go to school and be housed. I think youre asking longterm questions. And Marthas Vineyard has had these guests for less than 24 hours. And we are dealing with Emergency Shelter and food and shortterm plans. So, the vineyard does have a homeless problem. And so we have a popup infrastructure that we do use in the winter for our chronically Homeless Individuals. We deal with about 100 Homeless Individuals annually. And so what we did was fall back on that infrastructure. So that the volunteers and staff who with usually at our Winter Shelter can help out. We dont have a physical facility for the shelter. We rotated between multiple churches. The clergy on the island works incredibly collaboratively together, all of the denominations and they support Homeless Services and this group of people immediately, so we use the same space that we use for the shelter and the person who coordinates a lot of Food Programs on the island for low income individuals or others in the past, he came forward and coordinated dinner and the meals today. Typically, we get a lot of support from all of the Community Agencies including the restaurants to deal with the population. And they are donating, restaurants are donating food as well. And youre still in the triage stage and you dont have the laanswers longterm. And i understand that. And what we hear from Karine Jeanpierre at the white house, is that there was no advanced notice. To send people on a plane and drop them off without advanced notice was if you had received that a advanced notice that a plane is bringing migrants from texas, would you have welcomed them and said okay, bring them on . I think were going to welcome anybody who comes on the vineyard. We have an Migrant Population here now. I think one of the a couple of things would have been improved, number one is the health of the individuals. Weve already had a couple of people present health issues. And theyre getting services. But, you know, you dont want to send individuals on a long plane ride who arent who have a health issue and not alert the other end of the spectrum that theyre arriving. So that would have been much more helpful. Yeah. Karen, thank you for explaining all of this to us. Well check back with you to see how everything is progressing and what the next steps are. We appreciate your time. John avalon is a political analyst and melissa served in the Trump White House as communications director. John, why is Governor Desantis in this. His statement said that florida is not a Sanctuary State. Well they werent in florida. He sent the plane to texas to pick them up and take them to Marthas Vineyard. Because this is a stunt. This is a stunt designed to show how allegedly tough he is on illegal immigration as he explores a president ial run. It is a stunt that treats people as political pawns and where the cruelty is the point because the trollishness, owning the libs is the driving impulse here with getting attention in the right wing ecosystem. And, you know, he gave a speech talking about faith and christianity and the obligations people have to the poor and the displaced. That this wouldnt apply there. Also all of the rhetoric weve seen from desantis and other republicans about refugees from the madurea regime. That failed left dictatorship that theyre seeking asylum from, treating them as political pawns instead. I wonder where Governor Desantis got the idea. Some said that it seems eerily similar to something that Tucker Carlson suggested a few weeks ago on his show. Here is that moment. You probably imagine, the island is diverse. The obamas live on the island. It is 95. 7 white. They are begging for more diferity. Why not send migrants there. In huge numbers. Is Governor Desantis taking marching orders from cable news. Tucker carlson is saying it from his entire White Community in maine. I would say compassionate conservatism has been replaced with owning the libs. And the republicans have a legts point. This past weekend, Kamala Harris said the border is secure. Were using human beings as political pawns and the thing that struck me the most, charlie baker, if he got a call saying we cant house these people, figure something out, hed get it done. Hes a very effective governor. But they wanted the surprise and the chaos and individuals with children to arrive in one of the most expensive islands in the country and then just try to fend for themselves with no help. It is terrible politics and what i would warn Governor Desantis who i worked for in the house, you have a cuban population and venezuelan who see this and she how youre treating people that look and sound like them and went their their struggle and it is heartless. This could backfire. There is a a press Conference Today in miami about the community. There are 240,000 refugees in florida right now. Saying those of us who are refugees from these leftist dictatorships that we told by republicans particularly Governor Desantis that we got your back, and we understand and care about this community. But theyre seeing members of their community being treated with context and political pawns and i think this could have an unintended consequence. And this is more related to Governor Abbott, but texas received significant federal funding because it is a border state. So to deal with this population, it is not to say it is not overrun. El paso has over a thousand migrants that are living in squalid conditions. It is a problem we have to do address. But the way to do is not scoring cheap political points. And on that point, forget about the political stunt. If you take out the cruelty of using human beings as political pawns, texas is sounding like we need help, we have 200,000 people crossing the border every month. Massachusetts, could you help us out. Theyre not going about it the right way but is it fair to ask other states to shoulder this burden because that is not the way it is happening right now. I think it is. And i think the woman you had on before, karen, is the example of the best of america. To step up and help these people. If Border States said they need to step up, i think governor baker would. You cant just drop them off on the tarmac. We have more to talk about. This morning President Biden talked about the agreement between rail leaders. This agreement is a big win for america and together we reached an agreement that will keep our critical rail system working and avoid disruptions of our economy. And im grateful, grateful for the members of administration who worked tirelessly on both sides to get this done. So this averted a nationwide rail strike that could have been disastrous for the economy. The white house brokered the Marathon Talks between the two sides and announced the tentative deal this morning. M. J. Lee is at white house. The president was instrumental in getting this deal finalized. At what point did he come in and what did you do . It is difficult to overstate how important it was for vote this president and this white house to avert this rail strike. And in the past few days we saw every part of the negotiations intensify and that included, as you noted, President Biden himself getting involved in recent days. Really picking up the phone himself and calling some of these key negotiators and if you take yesterday as an example, too, he spent the entire day at the Detroit Auto Show and then when he got back to washington and the white house in the evening, he again called into this meeting that ended up being some 20 hours at the Labor Department to try to get everyone past this impasse. Now in the end, what we had was this tentative deal that struck some compromised on some major issues including pay increases and back pay, dealing with working conditions and scheduling rules. And i think it was clear that every party involved at end of the day really very much acknowledged that the economic consequences of a potential strike would have been incredibly disastrous. Very disruptive for Supply Chain Issues and certainly the last thing that this white house wanted as its still fighting with the stubbornly high inflation and a volatile and sometimes fragile economic recovery. Now i should note, we are going to see the president speak in a little bit sat a conference that the white house is describing as fighting the effects of hate fueled violence on our democracy and public safety. This is where we should expect to hear him discuss a little bit some of the actions that different agencies are taking on this front. Well see what exactly those details are. But i dont have to tell that you this general theme of fighting for democracy, that, of course, has become an increasingly big issue for this president who of course ran on this issue as well back in 2020. M. J. Lee, thank you. John and alyssa are back with us now. John, do you get political credit for averting a crisis that nobody knew was a crisis . This is great that we didnt have a rail strike but nobody felt the rail strike. A lot of the presidency is the things that dont happen on your watch because of the actions that you take sometimes Behind The Scenes. And think it is particularly true of biden. This strike, which was looming, could have been disastrous, stagflation and such a Slap In The Face to amtrak. But what biden did Behind The Scenes and you see this consistently is hes working the phones. Hes calling the players. Hes not inserting himself in the center of the crisis. Hes not trying to make himself the story. But after the fact that you hear that he was playing on active role. So he does deserve credit for the dog that didnt bark. So the president s Approval Rating is up nine points since july. We have the numbers. 36 in july. Now at 45 . Hes still under water. The economy is the biggest challenge point. How much of is this is about what hes getting done and how much is about the reappearance of the former president and that juxtaposition. It is a little bit of both. Joe biden had the best it is close to a quarter. He got the inflation reduction act. I dont agree it is going to reduce inflation but it is a major win for his party. The former president , who is likely to be a 2024 candidate is facing a lot of scrutiny and i think that sways people. And there is a dobbs factor because energy is behind what will happen with the roe issue. The Biggest Issue in the midterms will continue to be the economy and hes got some ground to make up there. I dont know that it has any bearing for 2024 but i do think it matters. Well, but price of gas is going down. A lot of wins on capitol hill, not just the inflation act but the bipartisan piece of legislation like the chips act and other things that are taking place. And to trump, there is that old line, dont compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. And that is what republicans dont wan this fall. They want it to be a referendum. But the white house is happy to see gases go down but Grocery Costs and Cost Of Living is still high. So that is the main thing he has to deal with in the final months heading into the midterms.

Russia is retaliating by taking aim at key infrastructure. Ukraine said an attack on a local reservoir in a central city caused major flooding and evacuations. And there was this reunion. Look at this. A mother embracing her son for the First Time Since the occupation began. It is been six months. Overwhelmed here with joy. She told the soldier, i knew you could come back and free me. Ben wedeman is in kyiv. And president zelenskyy is asking for air Defense Systems to block the infrastructure strikes. What more do we know . Well this happened at a Press Conference we attended with president zelenskyy today. He was meeting with the president of the European Commission Ursela Vander Layen and during that Press Conference he said hes focusing on five countries as far as that request is concerned. United states, france, germany and italy and israel which he said possess the most advanced air Defense Systems. He said that he hasnt his requests have not been met yet. But he is hoping for progress. The only country so far that doesnt seem willing to perhaps consider sharing that weaponry with ukraine is israel. Perhaps because of its close ties with russia. But certainly hes stressed that this is something that ukraine needs at the moment. What weve seen is not only that strike on the Water Pumping Station near the town, but also for instance youll recall a few days ago there was a russian strike on the power system in the city of kharkiv, which is ukraines second largest city. Which left that city without power for quite some time. And the feeling is that as russia loses more and more ground in ukraine, and is being humiliated on the battlefield, that they are retaliating by focusing on long range missiles, cruise missiles on civilian infrastructure.

Well just minutes ago, mississippi governor tate reeves announced that clean water is now clean. They spent a month under a boil water advisers. This is what was coming out of fauce faucets, some didnt have anything at all. It caused issue at the jackson main Water Treatment facility. While the boil water notice is over now but the governor warns the crisis could continue. While weve restored water quality, the system is still imperfect and were going to address issues throughout the duration of the states response. It is possible, although i pray not inevitable, that there will be further interruptions. Joining us now is Cass Anda Welsh of the Mississippi Black womens round table a Community Organization advocating for black women and girls. We spoke at the start of the most recent water crisis. The governor said the water is clean. Are you prepared to drink it . Thank you for having me back. There is a lot of hesitance there. No, im not prepared to drink the water and probably a lot of our residents arent either. Prepared to drink it. Because weve been at this place a number of times. And we know that some of the water is still, there is still some discoloration. Some people are still experiencing discoloration and it will take a long time for that to come out. We know that fire trucks are out opening up the hydrants and we know ground water is coming out. Weve been here a number of times and a lot of folks are going to not be prepared to drink that water and so and my family is one of those. It is important to point out that this is not the first month long boil Water Advisory for jackson. Not even in the past couple of years. So when the governor said that he says it is possible but not inevitable that you will be here again, do you think it is inevitable that jackson will be here again . Think were going to be here a while. We know, as you said, this is not the first rodeo. I think i said this when i was first on your show, im almost 50 and i remember as a little girl having to fill my tub with water. My mom would tell me to do that. Were still doing that. We get interruptions often. It is going to take billions of dollars of investment, even though the governor didnt think it will be billions, it is not just Water Treatment, it is also the infrastructure under the treats that is ageing that we have problems with. I just saw a picture of a pipe that came up out of the streets and it was brown, the same color that we would see coming out of our faucets. And so that makes people also uneasy knowing that our infrastructure is aging and it is running under our homes. And so this is going to be a long term issue and it is not going it be a quick fix. So we know the epa is now investigating the water crisis there in jackson. After the investigation in flint, there were criminal charges, there were lawsuits as well. How much about what happens next do you think should be about Holding People accountable . Well im going to leave that to the attorneys and the city to duke that out. What i will say is that residents definitely want the accountability to them because it is not just this administration. It is gone on for years and years and years of the disinvestment. And so i believe that it is so important that the residents get what they need. And that they and we had a Town Hall Meeting just this week and residents said what was really important for them and that is that is a right to have water, Drinking Water for everything, from fixing baby formula to dialysis. People who have dialysis at home, for moms just taking care of families. And so this that definitely has to be accountable but im going to leave that up to the folks to duke that out. What i will say, though, victor, is that this is also coming on the heels of black womens equal pay day. And these two things arent unrelated because were talking about massive amount of money that is having to leave a womans budget to go and buy water or to pay high expensive water bills and so this is an economic crisis, this is a Health Crisis as well. We have spoken with people who not only have to pay the water bills, which are high in jackson, mississippi, but also have these subscriptions to Water Services because they cant trust the water that theyre paying so much for. So there is certainly an economic element here. And a business that were interrupted. Cassandra, well check in with you again and thank you for keeping us updated. Now to this.

And the attorney is using videos from the Info War Segments and spreadsheets and to prove that everything that he said on those shows is not true. And anything from the fact that the whole thing was a hoax, to the fact that info wars didnt rely on analytics to figure out how many eyeballs they were getting, that the kids that dies in this massacre and their parns, theyre actors.

Lets go to the white house where President Biden is speaking about hatefueled violence. And its effect on democracy. Through your pain, you found purpose. Worthy of a life that ever lived and a purpose to help us stand united as she did. And that is why so many of you have done for so long in your own way, as survivors, hate filled violence, family victims, allies and advocates, mayors and Community Leaders and members of congress. Your presence is a testament to the truth that we must and we can come together. Regardless of our backgrounds, our beliefs, we have to stand united against hatefilled violence because it is real. And you know it better than anyone. Confirm than in attack on one group is literally an attack on all of us. I sincerely joining this first of its kind summit held here in the white house and i want to thank ana navarro and lisa ling for participating and i want to thank the civil rights organizations, the call for such a summit after the evil came to buffalo four months ago and the National Urban league and the Antidefamation League and the asian asianamerican and National Action network. My wife jill and i, shes teaching that is why shes not here travelled to buffalo with grief with families and deliver a message from deep in our nations soul. In america, evil will not win. It will not prevail. [ applause ] and White Supremacist will not have the last word. And this venom and violence did not be the story of our time. So we convene this summit to make clear what the story of our time must be. It has to be a story in which each and every one of us has a vital role to play, a story, a story with this message from the white house. United, united, United We Stand. Look, i decided to run for president as susan knows after charlottesville. Literally, not figuratively. I had no intention of running, i give you my word. I was teaching and i thought that was the best thing for me to do as chris knows my colleague from delaware. By charlottesville changed everything. Because i believed our stories to unite as peoples one nation and one america. When those folks came out of those that field carrying torches, the United States of america, carrying torches, chanting the same antisemitic bile that was chanted in germany and the early 30s, accompanied by White Supremacists holding nazi flags. And i thought to myself, my god, this is the United States of america. How could that happen. I really mean it. As my friends in the movement, civil rights movement, i got involved because of civil rights as a kid. But the idea, the idea that in the First Quarter of the 20th century, we had a people come out and carrying torches nazi flags and banners, chanting the vile and accompanied by White Supremacists, david dukes and and an innocent young woman is killed. When the last guy was asked, what do you think, he said he thought there was some fine people on both sides. Look, folks, there are core values that should bring us together as americans. One of them is standing together against hate, racism, bigotry and violence. Long haunted and plagued our nation. Another core value is standing united for the enduring folks. Were the most unique nation in the world. Every other one is based on ethnicity and geography and america is based on an idea. An idea. We hold these truths to be selfevident. All women, men and created equal. We never lived up to that. We never before walked away from it. We never walked away from it. Thats why its so important what youre doing. Its so important that we keep hollering, so important for meme to know thats not who we are. You know, i do a lot of foreign travel in my business. [ laughter ] i spent an awful lot of time and i know virtually every head of state. When i went to the first g7 meeting in england of the largest democracies of the world, i sat down and i said, you know youve heard me say that before, america is back. You know what shes leaders said around a small table with no press there, for how long . For how long . The combination of january the 6th, what they saw in charlottesville, not america. Not who we are. The idea of america is guaranteeing that everyone, everyone is treated with dignity and equality. An idea that ensures an inclusive multiracial democracy. An idea that we give no safe harbor, none, to hate. Well, never fully lived up to the idea but never walked away from it. Im not naive. Kamala and i traveled to atlanta. Too many people fearful walking the streets in america. Jewish high holidays approach. Families will gather for reflection under the shadow of the rise of antisemitism just four years after the attack on The Tree Of Life synagogue in pittsburgh. The deadliest act of antisemitism in our nations history. This summer, 31 White Supremacists in idaho were stopped from unleashing hateful violence just before they reached the pride celebration. A threat following the record year of violence against transgender americans. Today, with the fall semester starting, were joined by the president of a Historic Black College and should projust on presenting the best possible for their students but instead worry about more bomb threats against their institutions. Too often native americans, Disabled Americans face harassment, discrimination and violence and victimization. Unfortunately, such hate fueled violence and threats are not new to america. Theres a true line of hate from massacres of Indigenous People to the original sin of slavery, the terror of the klan to antiimmigration, violence against the irish, italian, chinese, mexican, so many of those laced through our history. Theres a through line of violence against religious group, antisemantisemitic, antimoralic, antisikh. Look, folks, that through line of hate never fully goes away. It only hides. If i said before, when i was chairman of the Judiciary Committee i felt really good that i got the extension of the Voting Rights act, over 25 year, even got Strom Theurmond to vot for it, no, not a joke, i thought hate can be defeated. But only hides. And when given any oxygen, it comes out from under the rocks. In the last few years its been given much too much oxygen in our politics and our media and on the internet. Too much hate all for power and profit. Thats the part thats changed a little bit. Its about power and profit. Too much hate thats fueled extremist violence allowed to fester and grow. You know, as a result our very own Intelligence Agencies, our own Intelligence Agencies in the United States of america have determined that domestic terrorism rooted in White Supremacy is the greatest Terrorist Threat to our homeland today. Ive been around awhile. I never id hear that. Enough. We need to say White Supremacy, all forms of hate fueled by violence have no place in america. Fair to call it out as complicity, my dad would say. If your silence is complicity, we cant remain silent. Theres those that say we bring it up and divide the country. Bring it up, we silence it. Instead of remaining silenced. For in silence, wounds deepen. We have to face the good, the bad and the truth. Thats what great nations do and were a great nation. So, we face at this moment in my view an Inflection Point. One of those moments that determine the shape of everything thats going to come after. Our great grandchildren will look back and decide whether or not in this two, four, six, eightyear period we stepped up because the world is changes. As the irish poet said all change, change utterly a terrible beauty has been born. We must choose to be a nation of hope, unity and optimism or a nation of fear and division and hate. And we choose as we do, we know this, hate fueled violence is borne into the fertile soil of a toxic division and we wont solve the problem by going after the extreme fringes alone. We have to confront the ways in which our toxic division fuel the crisis for all of us. Our differences. Certainly dont turn a fellow american into a sworn enemy. Building bridges across divides doesnt mean were sacrificing our own beliefs and our core values. To be a nation of hope and unity and optimism we have to recognize were not helpless in the face of hate. And fuel violence. Were far more united than divided but we have to focus on it, the vast majority of americans are overwhelmingly united against such violence. The vast majority of us believe in honesty, decency and respect for others. Patriotism, liberty, justice for all, hope and possibilities. I know we can do this together. I really mean it. We can do this together. Last year with susan here at the white house i signed a bipartisan covid19 hate crimes act that included provisions named after heather that are going to help state and local Law Enforcement better identify and respond to hate crimes. Earlier this summer, i signed into law a bipartisan Safer Communities act, the first major gun safety legislation. President biden at the white house speaking at the United We Stand summit. The white house says that this is the effort to push back against hate fueled violence and its effect on democracy right at the top but mentioned it several times. He was introduced by the mother of Heather Heyer who was killed in 2017 at that rally in charlottesville in which he says that was a catalyst for his campaign for presidency in 2020. He says that were at an Inflection Point in the country. This is something hes been talking about not just today, but for awhile now and he said that our intel agencies say domestic terrorism fueled by hate is the number one threat in the u. S. And he said loudly, enough, we need to name it and not be silent about it and so thats what he was talking about and how were much more united than we are divided but we need to talk about it and get back to those values of hope and unity. And the lead with jake tapper starts right now. The white house just called it a cruel premeditated stunt. The lead starts now. In the decades long debate over how to solve the crisis and ron desantis is shipping migrants late at night to Marthas Vineyard. Back on track inside the negotiations that went on for 20 plus hours to avoid a rail strike that could have crippled the countrys economy but how long can we avoid threats to the supply chain .
