CNN attempts to revive a 2024 election cycle boogeyman, Project 2025.
00:01:10.180
Among Democrats and Democratic leaners, 32% say Democrats are the party with strong leaders.
00:01:18.080
82% of Republican and Republican leaders say that about the GOP.
00:01:21.440
A new poll shows Democrats have low opinions of their own party.
00:01:25.980
And week four of the Sean Diddy Combs trial expected to kick off with more testimony from alleged victim, Mia.

00:01:40.760
You diet, lose weight, then you gain it all back plus a few.
00:01:44.300
Then later you lose it again and the same cycle continues.
00:01:48.700
Studies show that this could actually increase health problems
00:01:51.100
and breaking free of this yo-yo diet pattern is not easy.
00:01:57.640
Lean is a supplement and you don't need a prescription.
00:02:00.860
Lean includes natural ingredients targeting weight loss in three powerful ways.
00:02:04.800
It's maintaining healthy blood sugar, controlling appetite and cravings,
00:02:08.320
and it helps burn fat by converting fat into energy.
00:02:11.600
Listen, if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back
00:02:13.820
and want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace,

On Sunday afternoon in Boulder, Colorado, police responding to a Molotov cocktail attack
00:02:39.720
on a pro-Israel group marching to support the hostages being kept by Hamas in Gaza.
00:02:45.940
Run for Their Lives holds weekly gatherings to show solidarity with and raise awareness for
00:02:52.440
An event organizer, Mimi Kornfeld, telling Nine News when the group arrived at the meeting place,
00:02:57.500
a man was waiting there, armed with bottles ready to ignite.
00:03:01.920
Video on social media shows the alleged suspect pacing around, appearing to shout,
00:03:10.380
On the ground around him, some flaming puddles and two groups of people surrounding already
00:03:17.420
One eyewitness claiming on X around six people were burned.
00:03:24.400
We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.
00:03:29.920
Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates
00:03:35.840
Democrat Governor of Colorado Jared Polis writing on X, quote,
00:03:39.320
I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have
00:03:44.420
been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror.
00:03:51.840
Police Chief Stephen Redfern, unlike the FBI, declining to call the incident a terror attack
00:04:00.760
Also saying it's too early to declare a motive, notwithstanding the suspect reportedly calling
00:04:06.620
for death to Zionists as he tossed the firebombs.
00:04:11.120
So I've been in contact with our local FBI multiple times.
00:04:15.960
We are not calling it a terror attack at this point.
00:04:20.940
You know, I know there's a lot out there on social media, but I ask people just to give
00:04:23.740
us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene.
00:04:27.600
Chief Redfern confirming the suspect, who law enforcement has named to the New York Post
00:04:31.980
as Mohammed Suleiman, is in custody, also saying there are multiple victims in the hospital
00:04:37.580
with injuries varying from minor to life-threatening.
00:04:41.080
In the past six weeks, we have seen the Jewish Pennsylvania governor's mansion burned by a man
00:04:47.080
citing the governor's pro-Israel statements, two Israeli embassy staffers shot and killed
00:04:52.820
outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. by a man shouting,
00:04:57.000
free, free Palestine, and now this, not to mention the explosion of anti-Semitism
00:05:08.300
The California State Championship track meet on Saturday ending with some very crowded podiums
00:05:14.080
in the girls' high jump, long jump, and triple jump events following a rule change after President
00:05:19.600
Trump threatened to pull federal funding from the state for allowing boys to compete in girls' sports.
00:05:24.360
Last Tuesday, Mr. Trump issuing the message to California Governor Gavin Newsom on social media
00:05:29.580
with male athlete A.B. Hernandez dominating multiple events throughout the spring.
00:05:35.060
Later that same day, the California Interscholastic Federation, or CIF, announcing new rule changes
00:05:41.340
allowing female athletes who were bumped out of qualifying for states due to A.B. Hernandez's
00:05:46.800
or any other male athlete's participation to also advance to the finals.
00:05:50.820
Then on Wednesday, CIF announcing any female in the state championship who missed out on
00:05:56.140
a medal because of Hernandez would be bumped up one spot on the podium.
00:06:00.860
At the Saturday meet, Hernandez taking first place in the girls' triple jump with 42 feet,
00:06:07.820
Under the new rule, the actual winner of the girls' event, Kira Gant Hatcher, forced to share
00:06:13.620
the first place spot with Hernandez after Hatcher jumped 40 feet and five inches.
00:06:19.000
In the high jump, two female athletes forced to share the top podium again with Hernandez.
00:06:31.160
Lauren Webster winning that event with 21 feet and a quarter inch.
00:06:35.500
Hernandez at 20 feet, eight and three quarter inches, winning second and sharing the second
00:06:42.180
place podium with Brooke White, who was the actual second place winner who jumped 19 feet,
00:06:47.300
four and one quarter inches. Confused yet? So are we.
00:06:51.460
Hernandez's mother releasing a statement Friday about the controversy, stating in part, quote,
00:06:55.760
I see my child being attacked not for wrongdoing, but simply for being who they are.
00:07:01.280
My child has competed fairly in full compliance with California law and athletic policy.
00:07:08.560
Hernandez's participation sparking protests around the meet.
00:07:11.880
On Friday, according to Fox News, dozens of concerned parents rallying outside the stadium,
00:07:16.900
holding signs reading, Save Girls Sports, California Follow the Law, and XX Does Not Equal XY,
00:07:24.600
a reference to female and male biological chromosomes.
00:07:28.560
A plane flying over the stadium with a banner reading, No Boys in Girls Sports.
00:07:33.720
Conservative activist Josh Fulfer allegedly assaulted by a counter-protester as he left the meet.
00:07:39.280
Fulfer describing the attack to a local CBS station.
00:07:42.300
I pulled up to that same corner to come home and there was someone with a flag.
00:07:48.580
And so I look over, it was someone with a transgender flag. They were wearing
00:07:52.180
a black face mask, black light glasses, a black hoodie. It was 94 degrees out today.
00:07:58.420
And they said something to me. And I said, I said, why are you so embarrassed to show your face?
00:08:03.780
You know, take off the mask. And next thing I know, they're coming across to the center divide where
00:08:10.060
we are with the flagpole and starts hitting me. I had my wife and my four-year-old son in the backseat.
00:08:18.420
My wife was actually the one that yelled, spray them. And my son was actually crying in the backseat.
00:08:24.560
He was upset and obviously a little terrified of what he's seen.
00:08:28.240
About after five, six hits, I was able to get my pepper spray and pepper spray them. And that
00:08:34.420
got them at least down a little bit. And then they started hitting the outside of the vehicle.
00:08:40.640
I ran the red light, got to a safe area, pulled over. When I turned around, I seen Clovis PD
00:08:47.160
already going towards the scene and the situation and taking that person into custody.
00:08:52.040
Police arresting 19-year-old Ethan Kroll at the scene. Prior to the altercation,
00:08:57.280
Fox 26 News asking Kroll why he showed up to counter-protest.
00:09:01.600
All right, let me get your name and spelling of your name.
00:09:08.160
And can you tell me how to put your title out here today? Who are you representing?
00:09:13.060
Um, honestly, just my trans folk, queer folk, um, gay folk, um, all the struggling people
00:09:23.100
out there, you know, um, free Palestine, um, all that. It says a lot that we can't be erased.
00:09:31.000
Um, and you're all the way out here. That's, that's awesome. It shows that all their BS that
00:09:37.260
they stand for doesn't really work. You can't erase us. You can't stop us. Um, you can try,
00:09:43.060
but we're always going to be here. So if you're a Nazi or complicit, I mean,
00:09:51.800
f*** off, really. There's nothing else to say to that.
00:09:54.680
Authorities arresting Kroll on charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon,
00:09:58.420
vandalism, and obstructing an officer. Kroll was released from jail the following day after
00:10:03.000
posting bail. CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday resurrecting a 2024 campaign boogeyman,
00:10:10.940
the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. As part of the project, the Heritage Foundation published an
00:10:16.980
over 900 page document that outlines policy goals and objectives for conservatives to pursue,
00:10:23.320
including prioritizing family values, dismantling the administrative state,
00:10:27.560
and enforcing our laws at the border. Ahead of the 2024 election, Democrats seizing on the document
00:10:32.900
as evidence of a far right plot, calling it a roadmap to authoritarianism and warning that Trump
00:10:38.940
allies plan to gut democratic institutions if he were to win a second term.
00:10:43.900
Project 2025 is a MAGA world manifesto and a vision of implementing a startlingly authoritarian
00:10:51.760
form of the U.S. government. It's the most well-funded and expansive effort that we've ever seen from the
00:10:57.660
conservative movement to overhaul the federal government. It is a scary plan. It is a dangerous one.
00:11:03.360
Then candidate Trump repeatedly distancing himself from the blueprint, saying he knew nothing about it.
00:11:08.040
Bash on Sunday questioning director of the Office of Management and Budget,
00:11:12.920
Ross Vogt, who is listed as a co-author of the Heritage Foundation's publication.
00:11:17.580
One of the things that you have become known for is that you were one of the architects
00:11:24.580
I just want to show our viewers just some of what was on your checklist. A lot of them have been
00:11:30.840
checked off from Project 2025. There are others that are kind of in the pipeline, including
00:11:37.060
ending funding for PBS and PR and many other things. Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is,
00:11:44.740
in part, enacting this very document that you and your colleagues worked very hard on, Project 2025?
00:11:51.600
No, of course not. The only people that are delusional about whether the president is the
00:11:56.640
architect, the visionary, the originator of his own agenda that he was very public about
00:12:02.560
throughout the campaign, in which you are seeing him in rapid fashion go through and accomplish,
00:12:09.900
Elsewhere on the corporate media Sunday show dial, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant firing back at CBS host
00:12:16.040
Margaret Brennan over a question about anticipated price increases.
00:12:19.660
We wanted to make sure that there aren't price increases, Margaret, and thus far there have been
00:12:23.980
no price increases. Everything has been alarmist, that the inflation numbers are actually dropping.
00:12:30.260
We saw the first drop of inflation in four years. The inflation numbers last week were very pro-consumer.
00:12:38.760
Right. But you listen to earnings calls just like we do. You know what Walmart's saying,
00:12:43.460
what Best Buy's saying, and what Target are saying.
00:12:45.300
But Margaret, I also know what Home Depot and Amazon are saying. I know what the South China
00:12:49.980
Morning Post wrote within the past 24 hours, that 65 percent, 65 percent of the tariffs will likely be
00:13:01.880
Last week, the Consumer Price Index showing that in April, inflation dropped to 2.3 percent,
00:13:09.760
Coming up, a new CNN poll shows Democrats are in need of a confidence boost.
00:13:16.520
And alleged victim of Sean Diddy Combs, Mia, set to take the stand for her third day of testimony in the mogul's criminal trial.
00:13:31.160
They support Americans who believe that faith, family, and freedom are worth fighting for.
00:13:35.620
But did you know that they have got cutting-edge technology, too?
00:13:41.900
Keep your number, keep your phone if you want, or you can upgrade.
00:13:44.820
Their 100 percent U.S.-based team can activate your phone in minutes right over the phone.
00:13:50.560
Patriot Mobile is one of the few carriers with access to all three major U.S. networks.
00:13:56.160

00:13:58.580
Plus, they can even put a second number on a different network on one phone.
00:14:05.420
They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet on-the-go devices, and more.

Forty percent of Americans believe Republicans are the party of strong leaders, compared to just 16 percent saying that about Democrats.
00:14:49.380
Thirty-six percent of Americans view the Republicans as the party that gets things done, compared to just 19 percent choosing Democrats.
00:14:56.880
And Republicans are viewed as the party of change by 32 percent of Americans, compared to 25 percent who say the same about Dems.
00:15:04.260
When the answers are broken down, according to party, it appears Dems are having a crisis of confidence.
00:15:10.400
CNN's Washington bureau chief breaking it down.
00:15:19.660
So among Democrats and Democratic leaners, 32 percent say Democrats are the party with strong leaders.
00:15:29.080
82 percent of Republican and Republican leaders say that about the GOP.
00:15:32.980
Only 41 percent of Democrats say they're the party that gets things done of their own kind.
00:15:38.100
And I will just say, 51 percent, Manu, a majority of Democratic and Democratic leaners say neither party gets the party that gets things done attribute.
00:15:47.360
Imagine, that is the whole, that's the project that Democrats are working on.
00:15:51.520
Political analyst Amy Walter on CNN on why she thinks Democrats are struggling in the wake of the 2024 election.
00:15:58.120
I think it speaks to a bigger challenge for Democrats.
00:16:00.980
They have spent the last eight years being the party that is the anti-Trump party.
00:16:06.060
They haven't been the party that is the pro-fill-in-the-blank party.
00:16:10.720
So they've been very much defined by Donald Trump, not defined by what they want to be.
00:16:20.820
Week four of the Sean Diddy Combs trial kicking off today with more testimony expected from Mia, a pseudonym for a former assistant and alleged victim of Combs.
00:16:30.860
On Friday, the jury hearing a second day of testimony from Mia describing years of grueling schedules, verbal abuse and threats, as well as multiple sexual assaults perpetrated against her, she says, by Combs.
00:16:43.860
Mia describing a time when she was in South Africa with star witness Cassie Ventura.
00:16:48.720
Ventura had just discovered Combs was cheating on her and she stopped taking his calls.
00:16:53.360
Mia describing the repeated calls and texts she received from Combs demanding to be put in contact with Ventura.
00:16:59.360
Mia testifying she felt she could not leave her job with Combs, quote,
00:17:03.540
He would have destroyed my reputation. I was scared of him.
00:17:07.260
Eventually, Mia did leave in 2017 when Combs shut down Revolt Films.
00:17:12.660
In 2023, after Ventura filed her civil suit against Combs, Mia attesting that Combs' security guard, DRock, reached out to her on multiple occasions, trying to get her to contact Combs.
00:17:25.960
At one point, receiving a call from Combs and throwing her phone, quote,
00:17:32.040
At another point, DRock asking Mia for her address.
00:17:35.400
Mia testifying she believed DRock was trying to give her money.
00:17:39.360
On cross-examination, attorney Brian Steele using photos from Mia's social media to contradict allegations of abuse.
00:17:45.680
One October 2013 photo showing Combs at a coffee shop with the caption, quote,
00:17:51.380
Just the number one guy on the Forbes list getting me a vanilla latte.
00:17:57.120
Steele suggesting Mia could have reached out to family or friends if she actually wanted help.
00:18:02.380
No, there was absolutely no time and I had to get permission to leave or do things.
00:18:10.240
Steele asking why Mia would do things for Combs like make a scrapbook for his birthday if she was enduring so much trauma.
00:18:18.020
Mia is expected to return to the stand today for cross-examination.
00:18:34.620
Prosecutors saying last week they are ahead of schedule and expect to wrap up by mid-June.
00:18:39.760
Combs' defense attorney, Mark Agnifolo, saying the defense may actually take more time than anticipated,
00:18:45.480
predicting the trial may run to the beginning of July.
