Lettuce and stuff. Shes scared thanks for joining us. The newest continues right here on cnn its wednesday, april 10, right now on cnn this Morning Outrage in Arizona Blowback for republicans after the states court ruling effectively bans all abortions. There it remains astounding to me that the world is almost definitely silent when it comes to hamas Secretary Of State blinken questioning why theres so much outrage against the israeli its rather than the terrorists who attacked them and House Republicans delaying their attempt to impeach homeland secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all right 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, its 2am out in San Francisco a live look there as hoekstra, the middle of their night. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Wonderful to have you with us just a day after donald trump tried to solve republicans abortion problem, it got a lot worse for them. The Arizona Supreme Court reinstating a Civil War Era abortion law the bands nearly all abortions in the state. It includes just one exception for the life of the mother arizonas democratic governor, katie hobbs vowing to fight the ruling well, areas on across the state are reeling from this decision that reinstates the most are carnian ban in the country this is a ban that as you said, was passed in 18, 64 before we are a state before women had the right to vote and it is a neartotal ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. It requires prison time for doctors hobbs went on to underscore that arizonans will have the chance to vote on the issue in november that could present a significant political problem for republicans, arizona is a critical race in november, it could control, determine control of the senate, and thats before we even get to the president ial stakes. Michael chanel, congressional reporter for the hill, is joining me now to talk more about this. Michael. Good morning. Its wonderful to see you. Thanks for being here so the senate race in arizona again, just to score for everyone, the senate is balanced right on the edge, right . 50, 50 could easily go either way, republicans very much hoping to take it back, and it could hinge on this race in arizona between Ruben Gallego and kari lake. So kari lake, the republican very trumpian figure, if we remember back to how she conducted her politics last time how much he was running for governor she writes this, i wholeheartedly agree with President Trump. Okay. A personal issue that should be determined by a state and her people. But then she says, i opposed todays ruling. Im calling on katie hobbs, a democrat and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that arizonans can support. I think its worth noting here. Sure. That there is a 15 week ban in place that has exceptions in arizona. So there is what many politicians will refer to as a middle ground solution on this what does it tell you that kari lake is taking this position on this that abortion is throwing politics into whack, right kari lake right here. And she had previously endorsed this neartotal abortion ban back in i believe it was 2022. Now, shes turning around and moderating her voice. And this is something that weve seen. Its a common theme that weve seen throughout this Arizona Senate race in general, both Ruben Gallego and kari lake trying to be more of a moderate voice, but particularly on a board portion, it shows that republicans are nervous about how this is going to affect turnout at the ballot box, how its going to affect ultimate results. I mean, we saw it in 2022. Everyone spoke about that red wave that was going to come republicans, were going to pick up a number of seats in the house and the senate that didnt happen because betterthanexpected results from democrats blunted that red wave largely in part because of the Dobbs Decision which overturned roe v. Wade. Now this abortion politics is a winning message for democrats. They know how to run on it. They know what brings them results. Republicans, i think the fact that is back in the news, arizonans going to have one of those Ballot Initiatives to try to enshrine Abortion Rights come november. Republicans are nervous that once again, this could upend their momentum and this is also a strategy that democrats have pursued to try to put Abortion Rights on the ballot, not just certainly it makes sense in the context of each individual state, but it also has the potential to impact arizona is a critical swing state, is huge for President Biden, lets put up on the screen what has happened in bates where abortion has been directly on the ballot in these Ballot Initiatives, its happened in california, michigan, ohio, kentucky, and kansas. And if we can get that, we can show you. Now, this is the one that has kind of shows across the country, the State Of Play for each of these states. But there is another one. There it is that well show you the light blue is where people rejected a measure to restrict rights and the darker blue is where it was explicitly protected. And youll notice that states on this map include kansas, kentucky, ohio, which has historically swing has not been a swing state lately. So what does this tell you about the possible fully for the Ballot Initiative in arizona, which has become a very purple state. Yet it could really affect turnout at the ballot box. And of course, turnout doesnt just matter for that Ballot Initiative, but itll matter if you get more democrats voting, that could help President Biden, that could help Ruben Gallego, that can help with all these downballot races. So when you put this Balance Sheet of on the ballot, well, it in an up for grabs come november that could galvanize a lot of democratic voters. Again, its the dynamic that we saw back in november. So i think that a lot of democrats, while theyre not happy with the substance of the ruling yesterday, of course, they dont want to see abortion, Abortion Rights being curtailed politically speaking, this is going to give them the momentum and its going to be able to soup for charge their messaging as we get closer to november. Lets talk about trump himself for a second because he did a lot of sort of Public Hemming and hiring. He would say 15 weeks, 16 weeks will say, oh, this is what people think benny, all of a sudden he said out loud, im going to make a statement on abortion a little bit to the surprise of his team. He did it on the day of the clips and the unsc doublet mens championship, maybe trying to vary the news a little bit variant coincidence. There, fair few coincidences and politics but the bottom line here is that the Biden Campaign was able to put up a tweet. Now that says this is what leaving it to the states looks like there is a state with a band that is literally from the wild west. And the Civil War Era. For trump himself, what does this mean . Because on the one hand saying he didnt say one way or the other in that video, whether he would or wouldnt sign a National Abortion ban. But that saying youll sign a National Abortion ban hands a gift to democrats. And in this case, you can hold up an example of, hey, this is what a state would do how what is his next move here . And again, this is why democrats are happy, because republicans still havent figured out their messaging on this issue since 2022. They still have not figured out how to thread that needle to pick up support and have a winning message there. Look, this is not a good scenario for trump because as you mentioned, he said that this should be left to the states. He said that whatever stasis so thatll be the land of the states essentially endorsing those rulings and democrats, the Biden Campaign beforehand were already pointing out those states and those specific rulings and decisions in those states. Now theyre going to do it even more with this Civil War Era law. Now on the books, of course, theres the 14 day Waiting Period to see if therell be some appeals likely to be appealed. Right. But again, this gives the Biden Campaign ability to say, well, donald trump essentially endorse this because he said that he supportive and he said that this is the blood the decision of states and whatever states decide thats going to be the law of the land. Well, this is a decision and arizona a key swing state, when that could determine some could determine the Balance Of Power in the senate next year. So were democrats are really going to run on this and say, well, is this what you want if this is what happens when its left to the states. All right, Michael Schnell for us, starting us off this morning, michael, thank you. Great to have you. All right. Just ahead here.

Again april 20 welcome back, Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken, showing some frustration with the International Response to the war in gaza during a joint Press Conference with a uk Foreign Secretary yesterday, blinken condemned israels humanitarian efforts in gaza, and also passionately called out the lack of outrage toward Hamas Department in washington. We were it would also be i think important that so much of the understandable Passion Outrage and anger directed at israel for the plight of Palestinian Civilians in gaza. But. Some of that might also be reserved and directed for hamas it remains astounding to me that the world is almost definitely silent when. It comes to hamas wheres the outrage . There wheres the outrage . He asks Cnn International acre max foster joins me now, live from london. Max, good morning. Always wonderful to see you. What do you make of blinkens remarks . There, especially as President Bidens seems to have been intensifying his criticism, or at least his harsher words toward netanyahu and the conduct of this war well i think has been quite definitely silence. Has those been a huge amount of criticism of amass Around The World here in europe as much as any other place. I think that was a bit confusing to a lot of people. The other thing that was confusing is that you have this defense of israel in the blinken speech, but then at the same time, youve got President Biden saying, what are the basic, his sharpest rebukes really of israels handling think of the war in gaza im just talking from an outside america Point Of View that there are as ever so many more, so many conflicting views on israel and gaza and hamas. And a lack of clarity really about where america stands on a lot of these issues arms issue is still a really live one here supplying arms to israel. Is that right or wrong criticizing israel at the same time as supplying arms to israel. I think a lot of people are getting really lost in a little the language here yeah, i have to say as i watched blinken say what he said, i couldnt help but thinking of his Family History and his stepfather was a holocaust survivor, and you saw a lot of that in the early days of the war and after october 7 from blinken, i kinda wonder if that wasnt at play here, but max, i also wanted to ask you Thomas Freeman calmness in the New York Times historically influential former Mideast Bureau chief for them, he writes this about israel. If israel is not going to partner with the Palestinian Authority and moderate arab states to create different governance in gaza and create conditions for normalizing relations with saudi arabia israel needs to get its hostages back the humanitarian crisis in gaza get out of gaza, have a new election and do a deep rethink please. Israel do not get sucked into rafah and permanently occupying gaza it will be a disaster. This is an interesting reminder to me of the State Of Play before october 7, which was that saudi arabi
