Transcripts For CNNW New Day 20151027

Ground, after she refused to get up from her desk, then throwing her across the classroom floor. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. We dont anyone to rush to judgment, but we also feel that the video was very, very disturbing. According to police, the Richland County student was asked to leave the classroom. When she refused, fields was called in to arrest her for disturbing class. School Officials Say the video is quote, extremely disturbing, and has banned the deputy from all district schools, pending an investigation. The Sheriffs Department who is still looking into the matter says its still unclear what happened before the camera startstart started rolling. Well have to look at the image totality to determine what happened. Reporter the deputy has been the subject of two lawsuits in the last ten years. In 2007, a couple claimed he used Excessive Force in questioning them about a noise complaint. The husband says fields slammed him to the ground, cuffed him, and began kicking him, but the jury ruled in fields favor in 2010. In 2013, a student claimed fields falsely accused the teen of being involved in a gang, the school expelling him. That lawsuit is ongoing. When you see a video like what weve seen earlier today, it certainly alarms you and makes you a little bit afraid of what is actually happening within our schools. Reporter the deputy has been working for the School District for seven years and was recently awarded the culture of Excellence Award in 2014 for proving to be what they say was an exceptional role model to the student students. And that deputy has not responded to cnns request for an interview. The girl that he arrested was not hurt during the arrest. She faces a charge of disturbing schools. Chris . All right, jason, appreciate it. One of the reasons this matters, as you may know, theres actually a push to have more Police Officers involved in schools, because of what we fear about mass shootings. So its important to take a look at how it works and how it doesnt. Lets take a look at it again right now with harry houck, cnn analyst and former nypd detective. Live from dallas, mark lamont hills, a professor at morehouse college. Good to have you both here. Lets look at it again, because everything is going to grow out of what actually happens. He is called to the classroom, he is already in the school. Well talk about why you would have him called to a classroom and what should really be done, but heres what happens. Lets take a look at it. He comes in. We know there is a get out of the chair or i take you out of the chair, we know there is resistance to that suggestion and then this ensues is, okay . So thats this part. Then theres this part, what happens at the end of this necessary or unnecessary taking from the chair. Get your hands behind your back. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. Theres nobody getting all right, give me your hands, give me your hands, give me your hands. Has the knee on the back and taking her down as you would any really violent assailant that you would after you chase them through the streets. So we have general issues, what happens when you have a cop, whats going on in these schools with discipline. All true, true, true. But start with this specific. Give me the best defense for what this guy is doing in these circumstances. First of all, let me tell you, theres a Police Officer in that school for a reason. A lot of violent Gang Activity in that school, all right . Now, this officers called to the classroom because this student will not leave the classroom. Apparently the teacher had some kind of a problem. Now, a teacher is supposedly trained on how to handle children like this, calls the police, for the officer to come in. The officer tells her twice to get out of the chair. She wont get out of the chair, all right . Therefore, we have this altercation, which she does not get really hurt in. The officer pulls her out, huffs her, all right, and thats it. Can the officer do that . Yes, he can do that. Why . Because you failed to comply. You are under arrest, youre failing to comply now. The officer can use whatever force is necessary to affect an arrest. Now, it looks really bad. Like, a lot of videos weve sat here and talkedabout before in the past, how bad the video looks. She did not get hurt, all right. So apparently the officer did it in a way where she could not get hurt. It just looks bad in the video. Harry, if you get called to this classroom and this kid says im not getting out of the chair, im not doing it. You pull her out of the chair. And as you pull you asked her twice. And shes not letting go, what do you do . You pull her out of the chair like this . Yes, exactly. Thats exactly what you do. What are you supposed to do . Stand around and wait for her to get out of the chair . No. Mark, what do you do in this situation. You get called to the classroom, youre a Police Officer, the teacher says, i cant control this kid. You say, get out of the chair. She says, no. Now what . Well, before we get to the point where the Police Officer is called, chris, i think thats part of the problem that we have to analyze, right but thats the general bigger issue. I wanted to deal with this in the specific, first. In this specific instance, this child was criminalized when the Police Officer was called for classroom management. Were outsourcing classroom management to the police now. That is part of the problem in this case. Not in the abstract or in the general, im saying in this case. I hear you, youve made that point before. But remember this. Thats why you want to look at it in the specific and the general. When people see this video, they dont think policy. They think, how was this necessary in this circumstance . So when you see this and you hear what harry is saying and youve gotten to know harry. You understand its always coming from a place of reality, when you see how the officer addresses the specific, what do you see as the criticism . The fact how quickly he went from 0 to 60 in terms of the use of force, the type of force that was used. For example, and i dont support any use of force against this child, but for example, what would be the difference between grabbing the desk and pulling the desk force and physically taking the child, slamming her to the ground and putting his knee in her back. And to say, it wasnt that bad because she wasnt hurt, thats unreasonable. Thats not to say whether use of force was reasonable or not in a classroom. Why didnt he just take the desk out . Its just failure to comply. In all these cases, people dont listen to the police when theyre given a command. You must comply. Marcs giving people the impression you dont have to comply to Police Officers. Thats why were having a lot of incidents. Youre giving that impression, every time i speak to you. You always have a problem, you know, talking about an officers use of force. Im telling the you, its a result of a failure to comply. If she got out of the seat when she was told, there wouldnt be a problem. But apparently she had no respect for the school, probably has no respect for her teacher, probably has no respect at home or on the street, and thats why she acted the way she did. Lets take this to the most extreme example. What if he had shot and killed her he didnt shoot and kill her. Thats why its an example. Just listen for ten seconds. Its a lousy example. All right, all right. Hes taking to it the extreme to see if it makes more sense that way. So if you were to shoot and kill her, we would, of course, say, thats too much. You couldnt just say, well, she didnt comply, so whatever happens happened. So theres a limit to what a Police Officer can do if someone doesnt comply. Would punching her be too much . Of course. Im saying if we take it down to dragging her out of a chair and choke slamming her like a pro wrestler, that is also too much. There are other things between talking nicely and sweetly and slamming someone to a the ground that a Police Officer can do. Lastly, i disagree with the premise that with what i began with was unnecessary for th conversation. Im saying everybody here is complicit in terms of the school. Not just the officer, but the teacher who thinks its necessary and a system who think its necessary for Police Officers to to handle classroom discipline. Now we get to this and we end this part of this conversation. Well keep talking about this, yes, maybe you can make a very good argument that a cop in the school makes the school safer, if theres a mass shooter, if theres something deranged, if there is prolific Gang Activity, cops are cops, teachers are not cops. But the idea that this is not a gang breakout in the middle of class, right . Where theres blue and red. This lady says, you better shut up, when i talk to you. When i ask you where your homework because the schools not telling us what happened. And believe me, thats not a coincidence. Why would you use a Police Officer like this in a educational environment. I dont like. A Police Officer should not be used to discipline children in school. The fact that if i was a police, i would not have done it this way, lets say. If i was the officer that responded to this, i would have within the to the principal and said, did that child commit a crime . If they had committed a crime, ill take action. No, she wont listen to me. Now, if you tell me thats not a crime, i would say, im not going in there, see you later, goodbye. This is not a police incident. But now the school, theyre turning around, theyre against the officer. Theyre the ones who called them in. Theyre the ones who are supposed to know how to handle these kids. Were Police Officers. We know how to handle crime. We get called into a certain situation, were going to react a certain way, all right . And that School Shooting, but they didnt want to be the bad guy. They wanted the cop to be the bad guy. And thats why this happened. Theres also the option of not acting a certain way, right . We could make different choices about how we intervene in classrooms. Youre not a cop, marc. Youve never faced anything like this on the street, okay . And youve never been a classroom, and i have. Right. So we both can speak from respective circumstances. But as a citizen, as a father, as a reasonable person, im saying that that child didnt need to be slammed and choekd. And just because you dont comply with Police Officers instructions should not open you up to the full range of violent possibilities of the state of Law Enforcement. There have to be better choices. The reality is, to sum up this part of it, once you create the dynamic of adversarial relations with a cop, we know which way its going to go. Never ends well. But this was a student, this was in a classroom, this was in a different context, thats why we need to have the conversation. Professor hill, thank you very much. Dont look at me like that. Thank you, host, chris. Well keep this conversation coming up. Coming up in our 8 00 hour, well talk to victoria middleton, shes the executive director of the aclu of South Carolina. Well get her perspective on this. Okay, chris. Break overnight, news to tell you about, House Republican leader striking a budget deal with the white house to avert a Government Shutdown. Cnns Michelle Kosinski joins us live from the white house to tell us about the deal. Reporter this is the budget, the important thing no one wants to hear about until it affects the things you like. Before anybodys eyes glaze over, this is made all the more important now, because the u. S. Could default on its debt in a matter of days. And a few weeks later, the government could shut down when funding runs out. Republicans dont want to raise the debt limit or fund what they have already spent unless there are cuts to offset it. And democrats in the white house dont want to cut certain things and they done want to keep the government at those stick sequester spending limits. But now, republicans and democrats, in the house and senate, seem to have come together to craft that most endangered of washington creatures, the compromise. This would be a twoyear plan. It would raise the debt limit. It would liftsomespendingcaps on both defense and domestic spending. And it would offset that with things like spending or selling some of the Strategic Petroleum reserves. There are expected to be some changes to Social Security and medicare. And the sequester limits do stay in effect for th next ten years. So any raises in spending as part of this plan are seen as temporary. This isnt a done deal yet, but we could see something come to a vote as soon as wednesday. Mikalah . Stick with cnn, well watch that with you. Michelle, thanks so much. Well, donald trump is feeling the heat in iowa. A new Monmouth University poll showing dr. Ben carson expanding his lead over donald trump by double digits. Joe john is tracking this big turnaround for us. Reporter good morning. The latest monmouth rp University Poll shows dr. Ben carson out to a doubledigit lead in the race for the nomination in the first of the nation state of iowa. The poll showing trump trailing at 18 . A substantial shift from the last time the poll was taken in august. At that time, the top two candidates were just about in a dead heat. The secondtier candidates in the monmouth poll shows republican senators ted cruz and marco rubio tied at ten a piece and former Florida Governor jeb bush just a couple clicks behind at 8 . Also a big dip in the poll for the only woman in the race, for the republican nomination, carly fiorina. So what is the reason for ben carsons surprising showing . The poll suggests evangelical christians, as we knew, in iowa, continue to throw their support behind him, and support for trump, in that very same group, appears to have dipped just a bit. But if you look a little closer, carson has also picked up even more support among nonevangelical republicans, as well, even among liberal and moderate republicans, showing a 17point lead for dr. Ben carson in the state of iowa. Its certainly not all bad news for trump. He does appear to be doing much better in polls in the first of the nation primary state of New Hampshire, where he appeared monday. So we still got a long way to go. Chris, back to you. True, joe, you know, it smells like organizing on the ground must be the difference, but we know that is not dr. Ben carsons strategy, hes much more online than he is on the ground, so well figure it out in our next segment. We also have breaking news for you this morning. A warning from china after a u. S. Navy destroyer sails within 12 nautical miles of this Artificial Island in these contested waters off the South China Sea. China calls the maneuver illegal, but the u. S. Not so sure. Cnns will ripley is live at the yokosacca naval base in japan with the latest. What is the warning . The warning is simple. China says if the United States continues to do these freedom of navigation patrols, which the u. S. Says are compliant with international law, even though china says theyre illegal, china is even promising to perhaps build up their infrastructure on these manmade islands even further. Now, the uss lawson, which is actually based at this naval base here where i am, it was headed towards these domestic disputed islands in the South China Sea. Take a look at these satellite images. The chinese essentially beat them up over coral reefs. Theres an airstrip, theres docking ports. And these are concerning, because some have actually called them unsinkable aircraft carriers, if china did decide to militaryize and put military hardware in this area. You can see the location. Its a strategic location, its a vital economic trade route with trillions of dollars of trade passing through every year. 600 miles from mainland china, yet the Chinese Military is a regular presence there, as cnns jim sciutto found out flying over these Artificial Islands, listen to the warning the chinese gave. Very harsh words from the Chinese Foreign ministry saying, if relevant parties insist on making trouble out of nothing, it may force china to draw the conclusion that we need to strengthen and hasten the buildup of our relevant capabilities. I advise the u. S. Not to create such a selffulfilling prophesy. Allison . Will, thanks so much for explaining that. Another story about mounting tension. In a sign of frustration with the war on isis, the Washington Post reporting that president obama and his National Security, his senior advisers, are considering a plan to move u. S. Troops closer to the front lines in syria and iraq. The action would put boots on the ground in syria for the first time. And also positions u. S. Advisers closer to the combat zones. This move would require formal approval from president obama and could come as earlier as this week. 25yearold adacia chambers who allegedly plowed her car into spectators at the Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade, shes being held on 1 million bail. She faces four counts of seconddegree murder. Court documents reveal that chambers told investigators she had attempted suicide several times and was suicidal at the time of the crash. A judge has now ordered a psychiatric evaluation. Well, with his poll numbers sinking and his staff salaries being slashed, what is jeb bush to do . Hes huddling in houston with family members. Hes hoping to refocus his troubled campaign. We have the inside scoop on what happened during that meeting and his new plan. Thank you for calling. Well be with you shortly. Yeah right.

And now get 300 credit for every line you switch. Now at at t a little bit of breaking news to tell you about because theres been a breakthrough bipartisan budget deal that was reached on capitol hill. Congress tentatively avoiding a Government Shutdown in the process. But many republicans are furious. We also have lots of Campaign News to discuss. Lets bring in cnns senior political analyst and editorial director for the national journal, ron brownstein, and political anchor, errol lewis. Gentleman, great to have you. Ron, what are day doing . They passed it before the 11th hour. Normally they wait until midnight the night before it expires. This is that mythical unicorn washington beast. A reasonable, pretty reasonable bipartisan compromise that will raise the debt ceiling, eliminate the threat of a Government Shutdown, make concessions to both sides, probably pass with a centerout coalition in each house. And also, along the way, kind of generationally rebalance the federal budget in the sense of constraining entitlements to put some more money into the Discretionary Spending that goes more towards young people and the productivity of future generations. So all in all, kind of a striking final act by john boehner. Worth noting, nine times before, he has violated the hastert rules, both hastert rules in past bills, that a majority of republicans oppose. This might be the at any time, but they might also get a majority in both parties, in both chambers for this legislation. Ironic, that which helped push him out is what wound up bringing him together. It shows the need for compromise and to avoid brinksmanship. However, lets go to whats making the gop upset. Part of it is fallacy, part of it is fact. The fallacy is, when you keep raising this debt ceiling, it makes us seem like were weak and ending too much money. Thats fallacy. Raising the debt ceiling has nothing to do with how much you can spend, its how much youve already spent. But they have added new spending into this one. But that has nothing toot with the debt ceiling. Theyve shifted some in the domestic programs and increased the military spending and theres a special war budget, which is for entirely separate reasons, a little disturbing. But theyre making clear that they want to sort of move forward. I think whats key here is that a lot of this was negotiated by staff members. You know, when you take the politicians out of the room, its amazing what can get done. They said that the legislative leaders and the president did not meet, you know, and those have been sort of tense meetings in the past. So you can actually get some of this stuff done and it is, in part, i think a reputation of this notion that washington never works, washington cant work. Washington apparently can work. All right, lets talk about the campaign trail, shall we, speaking of working. Ben carson in the third poll now, in iowa, has leapfrogged over donald trump. This is the Monmouth University poll. It was out yesterday. Ben carson is now at 32 , up from 23 just in august and donald trump is at 18 . In other words, a 14point lead for ben carson. Also, while were out it, rubio has also doubled his support. What do you see here, ron . First of all, the winner of evangelicals usually wins the Iowa Republican caucus. Theyre almost 60 of the vote. Rick santorum in 2012, Mike Huckabee in 2008, they won evangelicals, they lost nonevangelicals, which foreshadowed the problems they had growing into fullscale candidates. But in each case, they won evangelicals and that was enough to win iowa. This is the first poll showing carson not only winning evangelicals, but winning nonevangelicals. That is significant. The nonevangelicals, carson gets 28 to trumps 19. Other surveys have not found this, so well have to see if this is a real development. But carson has the ability to consolidate evangelical support and be a very formidable opponent in iowa. I think he has challenges. 60 of voters in 2012 were over 50. This is an older electorate. And youll see trump going at carson from the right on entitlements and from the left on other things. Who was the last person to win iowa and also win the nomination and the election . George w. Bush. Its a very long time ago. Its not a guarantee of success, but a good step for a guy who nobody expected to be taking a step like this. Now hes getting the deeper scrutiny, which ron is referring to. The idea of shifting your position on Something Like medicare. His answer to our friend Chris Wallace on fox on sunday was, hey, im not a politician. Dont judge me by my ability to change once i start to talk to people who know what im talking about and change my mind. Is that enough . Its a reasonable thing to say if youre not a politician. But i think it really sort of spotlights the fact you have this dual republican primary going on. Youve got the outsiders and the insiders. The outsiders can fall back on that and say, well, im not really a politician. But is that a Leadership Vision thing . I think its a convenient excuse that professional politicians never try or try never to resort to. What a professional politician will say, i thought this through, im going to be consistent, i have some principles, i have a track record, i dont mind being examined, you know, as faras where that track record will take me. And if youre brandnew to this game, if youre carson or trump, you dont have to do any of that stuff. And the voters will have to decide which style of leadership they actually prefer. I want to get to jeb bush. Jeb bush has had this retreat with his donors and supporters and family and a lot has come out about whats gone on there. But what he talked about was the difference between himself and marco rubio. And in fact, they put up a power point presentation, because nothing says fresh and new like powerpoint presentations, about how marco rubio is really just a gop obama. Let me read to what bush told his supporters. Marco has not received a single endorsement for a fellow u. S. Senator. Governor bush has been endorsed by three of them, as well as 20 house members. But hes saying that marco rubio has a strikingly similar profile to obama, firstterm senators, lawyers and university lecturers, had few legislative accomplishments, hasnt shown much interest in the process of advancing legislation and getting results. Ron, this fired up his supporters, were told, by people in the room. First of all, nothing says fresh and new like retreat to advance, also. Thats the other part of it. Look, this is a reality, as errol said. This is a reflection of the fact that there really are two republican races going on. I would phrase it differently than insider outsider. You have donald trump, ben carson, ted cruz and some of the others appealing to that conservative, mostly bluecollar vote. And you have a group which is bush, rubio at the top, kasich and christie a little behind, who are competing for that more white vote and centered more on New Hampshire. It was almost inevitable that the mentor and the protege would collide in the way were increasingly seeing. Errol, ron, we have to leave it there. Thanks so much, guys. Great to talk to you.

Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. I cant believe i did it. I quit smoking. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Decisions, decisions. The new edge . This one would keep me organized.

President obama and his National Security advisers considering a plan to ramp up the war on isis by putting u. S. Troops on the front lines in iraq and syria. According to the Washington Post, a decision could come as early as this week. Meanwhile, kurdish fighters in syria already working to push isis out of their territory in Northern Syria. Cnns Senior International correspondent Clarissa Ward has been on the front lines in northeast syria. She joins us live from erbil, iraq. Clarissa, welcome to cnn and to new day. Its great to see you. El us what youve been seeing out there. Reporter thank you so much and good morning to you, alysin. A few weeks ago, the u. S. Dropped 50 tons of ammunition to a new coalition of kurdish fighters who are fighting isis on the ground inside syria. We spent time on the front lines with the pain group in that coalition, the kurdish ypg, and they told us they are going to need a lot more than that. These men are at the core of americas latest strategy to defeat isis. Manning positions along a vast and desolate front line, with isis entrenched in villages just through the haze. Theyre fighters with the ypg, a force of roughly 30,000 syrian kurds, which backed by Coalition Air power, have dealt divisive blows to militants across syria. Commander bahoos is in front of this front line position in the city of haska, which the ypg took from isis after months of fierce clashes. They tried to attack us again ten days ago. We weren prepared, so they didnt reach their target. Reporter but they keep trying. Isis has control of the next village along, which is just over a mile in that direction. But the men at this base tell us the isis fighters often go at night to that building just over there, so they can launch attacks on these positions. The u. S. Hopes the ypg will soon move from defense to offense, taking the fight to isis stronghold in raqqa, but at makeshift bases across the front line, the fighters we saw were lightly armed, poorly equipped and exhausted by months of fight. And Senior Commander la wand knows the battles ahead will be even tougher. Can you take raqqa without heavier weapons from the coalition . Translator the weapons we have are not highquality. So this campaign will need new, heavy weapons. The most important weapon they do have but dont want to talk about is this device, which helps the ypg get exact coordinates for enemy positions. Those coordinates are sent to a joint u. S. Kurdish Operations Room and minutes later, fighter jets come screaming in. He told us he was given a week of training before using the device. Who trained you how to use this . Translator believe me, i cant say. When you finish the training, its a secret, but they werent speaking kurdish. A mystery, as is so much of the unfolding u. S. Strategy in this critical corner of syria. Reporter the main reason the u. S. Is being so circumspect about its support of the ypg is because the group vz very close relations with its turkish counterpart, the pkk. That is considered to be a terrorist organization. Alysin . What a Vantage Point youve given us back here. Can you comment on this Washington Post article saying that president obama and his top advisers are considering putting u. S. Troops on the front lines in syria . Well, certainly, that would be a pretty dramatic move. While the u. S. Has been supporting with these air drops and through air support, there certainly is no u. S. Presence on the ground in syria. There is a significant one here in iraq, but really, this would be the kind of dramatic step that would be needed to take this battle forward, if the u. S. Really is serious about getting the ypg to take on a defensive against isis in its stronghold, it will need this kind of a dramatic gesture, this kind of a momentum. For the moment, those front lines are really pretty static and there isnt the ability or even really the will on the part of the ypg to push forward and take on those isis strongholds. One last thing. Obviously all the crisis in syria has spawned this refugee crisis. Whats the latest with that . Reporter well, it was so dramatic to see when we were driving through Northern Syria that there are entire villages that are completely deserted. The roads are empty. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes in this small corner. Its impossible to say if they left because of isis who have been planting booby traps and land mines in all the areas theyve retreated from or if they left because of the Coalition Air strikes which have flattened certain areas. But they are part of the nearly 50 of the syrian population that is no longer living in their homes. What a staggering number. Clarissa ward, thank you for that and great to have you onboard. Lets get it over to michaela. Well talk about this World Health Organization organizatre says eating processed moo meats like bacon and other things can raise your risk of getting colon cancer. How much is too much . Well break it down, next. Ththe more i want to go back. E, the comfort, the colors, the flavors. A modern city, with history in every corner. How to expect an 18th century castle in the middle of a huge city. I dont know how to explain it, we just have to go back. Mexico city, live it to believe it. The beautiful sound of customers making the most of their united flight. Power, wifi, and streaming entertainment. Thats. Seize the journey friendly. All right. Youve seen the headlines. Bacon can cause cancer. The World Health Organization releasing its new guidelines for processed and red meat, saying 50 grams a day will increase cancer risks by 18 . Sounds alarming. What does it really mean . Dr. Clifford hut is here, an oncologist and chief of breast medicine at memorial sloankettering hospital. Good to have you. We have props today, the report is that a serving of one of these, a hot dog, ham, or two pieces of bacon, if you ate that every day, would increase your chance of colon cancer by 18 . Where do you stand on this . Does it seem like sound science to you . So there are many factors here. First of all, we know from lots of experiments that the way we process meat, whats in it, and food in general can add cancer risks. This is not really new. And some of the biology has been explore for years, by very skilled scientists. On the other hand, this 18 risk, this 18 increase in risk, this is a pretty modest increase in risk for factors we think about. For example, in the science world, we dont really get that excited about risk factors from these kinds of studies normally, until were doubling the risk or more. Think about the cigarettes and tobacco. They take up your risk of lung cancer eight fold or more. So why sound the alarm, then . Because across the world yeah, michaela. Why sound the alarm . Hes mad because of the bacon. Because were talking about 7 plus billion people on earth. Were talking about a modifiable risk factor for cancer. And the truth factor for me, this is the edge of a bigger issue. The big problem right now that we face across the whole world is rising rates of obesity. And obesity is scheduled, if we can say such a thing, to replace tobacco as the leading modifiable risk factor for cancer, at least in western countries in the next few years. But back to the meat, so i know what to serve my kids this weekend, is it all meat or processed meat . For this report, its about processed meat. But i actually think youre going to see the highercalorie foods, higherfat foods, all of these are contributing indirectly if not directly to the cancer problem, because of the link through obesity. So when we say processed, thats a key component here also. What does that mean . Smoked . In this case, were referring to smoked meats and salting of meats. By the way, salting of foods has been a known cancer risk for going back more than a century. Japanese diet with lots of salted fish was famously associated with Gastric Cancer decades earlier. Was this report also includes red meat, specifically. Let me ask you. Weve been smoking and curing meat since time immoreium. Is all processed meat created equal if if youre smoking it at home . Youre touching on one of the Great Public Health advances of the last century. The refrigerator. We called it the frigid air effect. When the electric refrigerator came out in the last century, rates of Gastric Cancer in the United States fell precipitously. Because we didnt salt. So how much meat or processed meat can we eat a week without increasing our cancer risk . Im not certain theres a number for that. The 50 grams that they described per day is associated with an 18 increase in risk, but likely, as you use the amount, you use the elevation in risk, but im not sure you can get to zero unless you go to zero. A hot dog is 50 grams . You would have to weigh them, each one. So somebody at home will say, well switch over to turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, still problem, essentially, because it would still be cure kd meat, correct . Maybe, maybe not. This report addressed red meat and this processing and this particular product. Smoked tofu. Im just trying. Presumably less risk. Presumably less risk. What are we supposed to do with this . I think this brings us back to where we started. An 18 increase in risk is a small increase in risk in Public Health circles. So, fundamentally, the argument really is, why do we eat meat . The only reason some people eat meat is it tastes good. Thats a personal choice. This is not the riskiest thing most of us are doing. Its more important, in my opinion, to focus on a calorierestricted diet, increased exercise, healthier energy balance. These are the things in the long run that will limit our cancer risk. A good word from the good doctor. You can still have some ham, dear, just once in a while. Whats your take, get in and c conversate with us. And i did say conversate. There is a lot of news for you so lets get right to it. Put your hands behind your back the officer had an opportunity to deescalate the situation and he didnt. What are you supposed to do . Stand around and wait for them to get out of the chair . Im a parent and im ashameded of what i saw. What could have led up to that . Ben carson officially knocked trump from his perch in iowa. Ben carson seems to be a much more credible messenger. Carson is lower energy than bush i have plenty of energy. One of the top Halloween Costumes this year is donald trump. Which is why this year the phrase trick or treat has been replaced with give me a kit kat or ill deport you. Announcer this is new day with chris cuomo, allison camarata, and michaela pereira. Up first an new strategy to take out isis. President obama and his National Security advisers considering moving u. S. Troops closer to the front lines in syria and iraq. This is according to a new report in the Washington Post. They say a recharged plan is in order, but do americans have the stomach for military consolidation . U. S. Boots on the ground. But this is in the context of tensions between not only isis and the u. S. , but the u. S. And china after an American Naval destroyer sails within miles of these islands claimed by beijing in the South China Sea. We have Live Team Coverage of these developing stories. Lets begin with cnns pentagon correspondent, barbara starr. Good morning, barbara. Good morning, chris. Well, we had a hint of this last week, perhaps, when defense secretary ash carter told everyone here at the pentagon in a press conference to expect more raids, such as the one we saw last week, where delta force paired up with the kurds, sadly, Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler lost his life in that raid, raising the question, are u. S. Troops now in combat, if not in a total combat mission . Many officials at the pentagon are talking about these reports, talking about turning up the heat in iraq, in syria, but this would be a massive step forward. It would raise the possibility of u. S. Troops on the ground, in a potential combat role, because they would be helping syrian and iraqi forces, possibly calling in air strikes, possibly more advise and assist. That could put them in combat with isis. Last weeks events make that very clear. Defense secretary carter, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general joe dunford on capitol hill later this morning. Expect them to get grilled about all of this. By all accounts, no decisions have been made. It will be up to president obama to decide whether he wants to take the military to this next step. Okay, barbara, please keep us posted as you talk to your sources there. Meanwhile, the u. S. Leveling a potential challenge to china in the contested waters of the South China Sea. An american destroyer passing within 12 nautical miles of those Artificial Islands that are built by china. Official in beijing calling the maneuver quote illegal. Cnns chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto is live for us in washington. What do we know, jim . Well, the u. S. Would like to make these trips routine to demonstrate that in their view, these are not chinese waters, these are international waters. Those manmade islands are not territory, they are illegal. But theyre seen as anything but routine by china, as the equivalent of sailing with a Chinese Naval ship within 12 miles of new york city in their point of view. You had an angry reaction today. This is the second time this year the u. S. Has delivered a message like this. You may remember in may when you were in a spy plane, these pictures are from that trip over those islands to demonstrate from the u. S. Perspective that the air space over those islands is international as well. And ill tell you, the bridge of that u. S. Navy warship is likely to have gotten a warning like we got in the cockpit of that uspa know sigh don spy plane. Listen to what he wiwe heard th. That very much demonstration of how china sees these islands as their own. Ill tell you today, ive seen a lot of messages from the Chinese Foreign ministry from beijing usually parsing words, but their reaction today did not parse words. Heres what the Chinese Foreign ministry had to say in reaction to that ship sailing within those 12 miles. If relevant parties insist on making trouble out of nothing, it may force china to draw the conclusion we need to strengthen and hasten the buildup of our relevant capabilities. I advise the u. S. Not to create such a selffulfilling prophesy. China there saying in effect, they may have to militaryize these islands more in response to the u. S. Action. Its a real serious disagreement and one clearly that president obama and president xi could not Reach Agreement in during their summit meeting just a couple of weeks ago in washington. Breaking overnight, white house and congressional budget negotiators striking a tentative twoyear budget deal that would stave off a Government Shutdown. Cnns Michelle Kosinski live at the white house for us. Big question, how will it be perceived . Reporter right. Its the budget. But lest you think this is a perfect time to go grab a cup of coffee or take a nap, this is made all the more dramatic by the fact that the u. S. Is on track to default on its debt in a matter of days. A couple of weeks later, the government could shut down again when funding runs out. But suddenly along comes, yes, a compromise. In washington. In congress. On the one hand, republicans dont want to raise the debt limit or fund what the government has already spent, unless there are some cuts elsewhere to offset that spending. And then you have democrats in the white house who dont want to cut certain things, who dont want to keep america at those strict sequester spending limits. Here is what we came up with. Its a twoyear plan. It does raise the debt limit. It does raise caps on spending for defense and domestic programs, but it offsets them with things like selling some of the Strategic Petroleum reserves. Some changes to Social Security and medicare. And overall, these sequeser limits do stay in effect for ten years. So not Everybody Loves this, but it is a compromise and its expected to be voted on very soon. Back to you guys. Michelle kosinski, thank you very much. So ben carson has a doubledigit lead over donald trump in iowa. Here are the numbers from the latest poll. Carson 32 to trumps 18. Theyve basically swapped positions. What is fueling this surge and will carson eventually have to take the dwlogloves and off and start fighting back . Lets bring in armstrong williams. Good to have you here. Another number that is very important, before the haters take bait, they will say, well, this is just evangelical. Dr. Ben carson, you know, hes known as a faith man, but look at this number. Nonevangelicals. Moderate voters, take a look at that number. Put the poll up. There it is. This is among nonevangelical Iowa Republicans, okay . There are your numbers. Now, you, of course, are not surprised by the doctors reach beyond those who are evangelical, but how would you explain it . First, good morning, and thank you again for having me. Listen, chris, its simple, dr. Carson stays on message. Dr. Carson has a calming effect when he talks to people. He explains in great detail his policies when hes not on the debate stage. He connects with voter, that connect with his personal story. His temperament is unmatched. His discipline. And the fact is, hes very respectful. Dr. Carson does not go out and when he finds himself behind in the polls, when hes being criticized in the media or being challenged, he does not pitch adult tantrums. He doesnt get very personal, as if its his job to always lead. I think what you can really learn about a persons character is when theyre not at the top. When theyre not in first place, what they become. And what dr. Carson has realized is that this is a roller coaster. Its up and down. Mr. Trump may be up this week, dr. Carson may be down next week. These polls change. You also dont underestimate the bushes, the rubios, the cruz and others that give their time and their resources and their commitment to this country and try to make it better. You value them, you empower them, you uplift them. You dont divide the Republican Party because of personal attacks. Its just not the american way. Mr. Trump has all these capabilities. Its an incredible american success story. But unfortunately, he just doesnt have the discipline to show respect, to show mutual administration for someone elses accomplishment. Its sometimes as if hes the only person that should be running. I hate to be so candid about it, but this guy is so gifted, he has so much going for him, but you know, the problem is his temperament. He lashes out and people see it as a tantrum by an adult and americans are becoming turned off with it and dr. Carson continues to grow and he would never get in the mud pit with mr. Trump. Its just not his style. Because hes so busy focusing on his message. So i have one question for you on that and i have two points of policy pushback. Soy understand from folks who are close to dr. Ben carson that he sees volume as weakness in people. That when asked to explain why his demeanor is more quiet, that maybe he has to pump it up to show that he has the energy. He says, no, no, no, strength is often being measured in tone. That when someones loud, the louder they have to make the point, the less they believe it. That true . Listen, chris. I think this is something you and i can agree on. When you have been a pediatric neural surgeon for over 30 years and your calmness and your gentleness and your listening saves lives or prevents people from lifelong injuries, thats just who he is. Thats his character. In time, circumstances, this campaign trail reveals your character. Thats who he is. He cant be anybody else but that calm, gentle, low voice, but it doesnt mean hes weak. He has the common strength, he has the discipline, and he has the judgment to understand that sometimes you dont have to be the loudest person in the room to be heard. So, theres a cbs poll that just dropped while you were answering that question. 2622, carson is up everywhere, not just in iowa. With this elevation of status will come elevation in scrutiny. Two points of pushback for you to respond to. One, evangelicals in iowa may be embracing dr. Carson because of his faith. Is it fair criticism to look at dr. Carsons faith being seventh day aventis, how it may oppose evangelicals. There is a belief within the strictest tenants of Seventh Day Adventist beliefs that evangelicals and others will be going to hell. Is that a fair criticism . With dr. Carsons interview with a malika henderson, obviously he does not embrace that. Cnn has done this story. We get so caught up in these denominations, that one is better than the other, but what matters is a persons moral compass. What matters is their character. Are they honest and trustworthy . If you look at the polls, dr. Carsons ratings are off the charts, chris. They like him and believe him. So this is what faith should be about. Its not whether youre better than someone else. Its about whether you embrace the tenants of being a good human being, being a decent human being, and whether your word means anything. And whether you have the humility if you make a mistake, if you misstate something, youre willing to apologize. And whether youre willing to surround yourself those who know more about you on Foreign Policy or about the economy, so you can grow together. Because like dr. Carson says, in a multitude of counselors, you will find wisdom and the answers to move this country forward. One more. On medicare, dr. Ben carson had said earlier on, earlier this year, last may, that medicare should be gone and replaced with a voucher system. He now says he doesnt want to do that. Maybe it will be an option. A plan is coming out. If he wants to be president of the United States, does he have to hold true to positions and not go back and forth, as he feels his way . Chris, i hope not. I hope that dr. Carson in his vacuum, when he was director of pediatric neurosurgery and everything was about being there at the hospital and the culture of the hospital that hes willing to step out and see theres a real world. And he talked to other experts and get other perspectives, he may see flaws in his own ideas. I think one of the things that you want in a leader that no matter how much youve invested in your ideas and your policies, if you find something that is truth and something that takes you to a place that really works and youre willing to abandon it, or at least incorporate those ideas to make the plan better. It is all about what works for the people. It doesnt necessarily mean that dr. Carson has all the right ideas in the beginning, but hes willing to surround himself with the right kind of thinkers and experts who can help him get to that point. Thats a good thing that dr. Carson is willing to abandon, at least step back and say, maybe i was wrong, lets reevaluate. Dr. Armstrong, thank you for being on the show. We want to test the issues on this show throughout the rest of the campaign. Please extend our invitation. Good to see you here. Thank you. One of our top stories this morning, we have to show you this disturbing classroom cell phone video. It is sparking outrage nationwide. It shows an encounter between a white school Police Officer and a black female student. The young girl thrown from her desk and arrested after defying the officers order to stand up. Cnns National Correspondent Jason Carroll joins us with the very latest. What do we know, jason . Reporter still a lot of questions about what exactly happened before the arrest, but one thing is clear to the students who were there in the classroom. Moments after that officer entered the classroom, it escalated to a disturbing point. Either youre going to come with me or im going to make you. Reporter South Carolina school Police Officer ben fields seen here is on administrative leave this morning after his violent takedown of a High School Student was caught on camera monday afternoon. You can see the sheriffs deputy tossing a female student to the ground after she refused to get up from her desk and then throwing her across the classroom floor. Give me your hands. Give me your hands. We dont want everyone to rush to judgment, but also feel that the video was very, very disturbing. According to police, the Richland County student was asked to leave the classroom. When she refused, fields was called in to arrest her for disturbing class. School Officials Say the video is, quote, extremely disturbing and has banned the deputy from all district schools pending an investigation. The Sheriffs Department, whos also looking into the matter, says its ill unclear what happened before the camera started rolling. We have to look at this in its totality to understand exactly what happened. Is this a pattern . Is this something that hes done before . Reporter the deputy has been the subject of two lawsuits in the last ten years. In 2007, a couple claimed he used Excessive Force in questioning them about a noise complaint. The husband says fields slammed him to the ground, cuffed him and began kicking him. The jury ruled in fields favor in 2010. In 2013, a student claimed fields falsely accused the teen of being involved in a gang. The school expelling him. That lawsuit is ongoing. When you see a video like what weve seen earlier today, it certainly alarms you and makes you a little bit afraid of what is actually happening within our schools. Reporter the deputy has been working for the School District for seven years and was recently awarded the culture of Excellence Award in 2014, for proving to be what they say was an exceptional role model to the students. And that female student there was not injured durings the arrest. Cnn has reached out to the officer in question. He has not responded to requests for an interview. Oh, my gosh, so many questions, jason. Thanks so much for that reporting. In our next hour, we will speak with victoria middleton, the executive director of the aclu of South Carolina about what they want to do about this. By the end of the century, parts of the persian gulf could be uninhabitable by humans due to global warming. Researchers say this affects coastal cities from dubai to irans bandar abas and threatens other middle eastern locations, including the holy city of mecca. Nobody puts chewbacca in handcuffs, until now. Take a look. Someone dressed like the star wars character taken into custody at a polling station in ukraine. Chewie who was there to campaign for mayoral candidate darth vader. Wait, what . Yes, darth vader is a real candidate. But what chewbacca didnt know, its illegal to campaign on election day. So he was hauled off in handcuffs. Thats the problem. No that hes dressed as chewbacca. One of the things ive always admired about chewbacca is his fierce loyalty. And his political stance. Took four officers. The funny thing is, its all a costume. He was only like 55 inside that. Stop meanwhile, we have to show you something on the other side of this, which is deadly serious. A white Police Officer was in this confrontation with a black teenage student. It has sparked outrage nationwide. We will discuss whats behind this. Actions. They speak louder. We like that.

Audit, tax and consulting for the middle market. A developing story this morning. A violent classroom confrontation between a Police Officer and a female student. It was caught on cell phone video. And it raises questions about what Police Inside our classrooms are doing. Our next guest is the author of fergastand the war on police. Hes a former Missouri State representative. Mr. Roorda, thank you so much for being here. I know youve had a chance to watch this cell phone video from this South Carolina classroom. Lets play it again so our viewers can see what happened when this School Resource officer, in other words, a sheriffs deputy in the school, confronts a female teenager, asks her to get up from her desk. She doesnt instantly do it and she takes her to the ground. He yanks her to the front of the class and handcuffs her. Is there any other way to interpret this video, mr. Roorda, than Excessive Force by that deputy . Well, its not easy to watch and its easy to be outraged by that snippet of video, but remember, thats all were seeing here is a snippet of vid video. We dont know the whole story. The whole story may very well tell us what we suspect from watching that video, that the officer overreacted, but there is more information out there. There is the officers report that hell be writing, witness statements, the suspects statement and whatever physical evidence. Youre right, we dont know what preceded that moment. But we do know from our local affiliate there in South Carolina that the teacher had for some reason asked her to leave the classroom and then the Police Officer, and we even hear him saying, stand up to her, which shes not doing. But we dont see her fighting back, dont see her being physical or violent. Even if a High School Student doesnt instantly comply with your orders, do you have to use force . Couldnt he have talked to her . Well, yeah, i dont know what preceded that. I dont know if there was some conversation between he and her before the video that we see. We dont know that she didnt pull away and fall over herself. It certainly looks like the officer is using a lot of force there. But sometimes these interactions can appear differently than they actually are. Listen, i dont defend bad cops and what we see here is certainly questionable and ought to be questioned. We need answers as a community about what happened there, as we do in all these situations. You know, this video plays right into the very same narrative we heard the director of the fbi talking about yesterday. That is the socalled ferguson effect. That is that cell phone video is so ubiquitous now is its actually having a Chilling Effect on Police Officers. They dont want to do their job because they may be caught on cell phone video because they may be caught doing something improper or that may be misinterpreted. Let me play what the fbi director said about this. I spoke to officers who describes being surrounded by young people with mobile phones held high taunting them when they get out of their cars. They said to me, we feel under siege and dont feel much like getting out of our cars. Are you seeing this . You seeing your Police Officers changing the way they do business because theyre afraid of being caught on cell phone . I am, but i think director comeys point was larger than that. I think his point was the ferguson effect is more than just videos being taken. Its about the unwarranted criticism of Law Enforcement. The hyperscrutiny that theyre under and how difficult policing has become in america and that there is a clear impact on Violent Crimes that has followed this phenomenon. But just to interrupt you, hes saying it appears that the hyperscrutiny that Police Officers are under is because theres been a series of things caught on cell phone video. Without the cell phone video, we wouldnt be analyzing frame by frame exactly how theyre acting in these situations. Thats what started it. Now theyre under this hyperscrutiny. And are you seeing Police Officers not wanting to get out of the car and do their job because of this fear . Well, the false narrative in ferguson about what happened between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown is what actually started this. But, yeah, the video certainly does have an effect. And Police Officers have known for a long time that with new technology, not just dashboard cams and body cams, but cell phones, where everybody has the able not some to videotape things, but to broadcast them to the world in a matter of seconds, that it has changed the world. Not just the way cops do they job, but the way how people act in general has changed. But given that this is our new world, cell phone video isnt going away. Whats the answer for Police Officers . The answer for Police Officers is the answer for our entire society. We have to take this video for what its worth. Im sure every one of your viewers have been watching a baseball game and has seen a bangbang place at first base where they thought the runner was first when they first saw it and in a slomo replay from a different angle, they see the runner is out. We have to reserve judgment. I dont mean to excuse Law Enforcement when they do things wrong and theyre captured on video, thats a good thing, because it cleans up the industry, but we shouldnt jump to conclusions. All right. Dr. Ben carson is leading donald trump for the first time in a brandnew National Poll. Whats happening to the donald . Whats fueling carsons surge . Well discuss it, next. Boy once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. One day, it started to rain and rain. Water got inside and ruined everybodys everythings. The house thought she let the family down. But the family just didnt think a flood could ever happen. The reality is, floods do happen. Protect what matters. Get flood insurance. Visit floodsmart. Gov flood to learn more. Decisions, decisions. The new edge . This one would keep me organized. I could list all the days ive been banned from social media. Hmmm, wait this thing has builtin live broadcasting . I dont know what nerd came up with that, but its awesome. You think theyd censor pippas doggyolas . Censored, not censored. Censored, not censored. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge and the note5. Breaking news. Ben carson is surging ahead of donald trump for the first time, not just in iowa, in a National Poll. A brandnew cbs New York Times poll giving carson a fourpoint lead. More importantly, quadrupling his support since august. Lets discuss with cnn republican commentator and republican strategist, mr. Kevin madden, and cnn republiccomment democratic adviser, paul baa begada. I think its still too early to, you know, read from this poll that voters are starting to calcify their opinions for any one candidate. One of the things i saw in the poll is that voters are beginning to move towards making up their mind, but theyre not yet firmly locked in. Seven out of ten republicans say they are still undecided. That gives you a third within that indexing. Those who have made up their mind for trump are more solid than those for carson. Thats right. I think it shows that voters are still shopping around and they have moved from looking at donald trump to now looking at ben carson. In many ways, carson fits a better profile of the republican voter that is maybe evangelical or more conservative, particularly in many of these earlier primary states, as we see him leading in places like iowa. I think its still a very fluid race, but ben carson is the one that voters are right now, thats where theyre parked with. Paul, this is big news. This new poll out half an hour ago is big news, because it is the first time in those three months that trump has been on top of a National Poll that now ben carson has jumped over him. Now, the margin of error is four points and carson is leading 2622. So its possible that they are tied. How big of a deal do you think this is . Well, whats most phenomenal to me, actually, is how far the gap is between drchl carson and mr. Trump, at the very top, both in the 20s in a multicandidate race, thats a lot of power, and then you drop all the way down to marco rubio is at 8 and jeb bush is at 7. If you combine them, they still dont equal the secondplace guy. How do you feel, kevin madden, if you are dr. Ben carson and you have to feel some elation at the resonance within the polls, but then the reality hits you. Tomorrow night you have a debate coming and you have a lot of people with hunger in their bellies, and they are looking right at you as political food. What do you think this is going to do to change the dynamic . I dont think many of these other candidates feel theres a lot to gain by attacking ben carson. Hes a very likable personality and i think there could be some backlash there. I think drchl c. Carson and his have a certain amount of elation, but theres the reality that its only the end of october. I would much rather have these numbers as we grew closer to the end of december. Youve got to take em when you get them. But paul, this belies the nation that ben carson is only resonating with evangelicals in iowa. In fact, also a new poll out just yesterday from Monmouth University about how well hes doing with nonevangelicals in iowa. How well hes doing with men. How well hes done with moderate and liberal republicans. Here you go, this is not evangelicals. Hes at 28 with them, he was at 18 in august. Again, donald trump at 19 now with not evangelicals. He was at 24 . Paul, what do you see . That shows broad appeal, but keep in mind, everybody who participates in the Iowa Caucuses on the democratic side is impressive, everybody who participates on the republican side is conservative. Its an extraordinarily conservative group. The base is evangelicals. Thats 60 of caucusgoers are evangelicals. Hes even winning among the 40 who are not. But theyre not like my people. Still pretty conservative. You bet they are very, very conservative. So the early read on this poll is going to be whether or not this is about carsons strength or trumps weakness. Whether the outsider vote is moving over to carson or what this means about carson independently. However, to kevins point, tomorrow night, something we will hear a lot about is going to be that Hillary Clinton lied in the aftermath of benghazi, to the American People, as did the white house, by extension, and was telling two different stories about what happened to those she knows and to the rest of us. How do you think thats going to play tomorrow, kevin . I think it certainly will come up. The issue of benghazi, i think, is a motivating one for many partisan republicans. And i expect partisan republicans are the ones that many of these candidates are trying to appeal to, because theyre the ones tuning into this debate to see which candidate can draw the strongest contrast. I think the candidate that ultimately does best when theyre talking about benghazi is one that focuses and pivots quickly to a more advanced policy agenda on National Security and Foreign Policy. The candidates that do that, i think, are going to win, rather than just focusing on trying to focus investigator through the lens of the house benghazi committee. Paul, you dont want to address hillarys lies, do you . First of all, she didnt lie, she kicked their ass excuse me, she kicked their rear end. But it came out she told two different stories in the aftermath. Because she was getting two different sets of information. Ive worked in the government. The early reports are always overtaken by events. So she just happened to tell people she knew it was a terrorist attack and then changed . Im sure they took credit at the same time the cia was saying, it looks like there were five or six other protests that were spurred by that video. If you want to spend 11 hours on this the way the republicans did, i wish you well. I think you can take care of it in 20 minutes. There is some reason they decided to make this more about the video and the protest for whatever hospitalics, than they knew to be true, which is they had gotten surprised by terrorist attacks. Thats baloney. They did what the cia told them. The political people werent even involved in that. It was the cia and the National Security team trying to figure out what happened in a place that we didnt know what was going on, because it was the fog of war. And we just watched. If you think the republicans are going to get any traction after having spent 11 hours on this and getting their rear ends kicked, i wish them well. Just real quick i shouldnt have brought it up. Sorry, guys. The truth sometimes gets in my way. You injected the controversy into it and of course this almost come up, im sure in the debate tomorrow. I saw your just because they dont get traction doesnt mean its not true. Thats all. All right. Ly not even be the tiebreaker on this one. You must. I wont. I refuse. More news ahead here.

Is High School Football worth the risk . Thats the question some parents are asking across the nation, after 17yearold andre smith dried from Blunt Force Head Injuries during a football game. His tragic death is the seventh among High School Football players this year. Dr. Sanjay gupta is here, cnn chief medical correspondent. Im struggling with this one. We love to see our kids active and busy, love to see them playing sports. We know what it does for young people. But when you talk about seven kids, sannier, already this year due to injuries, is this abnormal . It feels abnormal to me, but statistically, is this abnormal . First of all, you know, i think anytime you hear a tragic story like this, it feels very abnormal, it feels very wrong, and like you, i have young kids who want to play sports. So its a tough, tough news to hear. Theres not a specific database for High School Football deaths. Theres a center for catastrophic injuries, but they usually base their reporting on media reports. So its a little bit hard sometimes to get a sense of the numbers. But to your question, there have been seven deaths this year. You can see a list of the players, their ages, what happened to them specifically. 16 and 17 years old. Yeah, i know. It is, again, just tough to look at that. On average in a given year, again, based on media reports, its about 12 players who die every year, and that includes high school and college. So it does seem a little bit higher this year. We know with andre, it was the last play of the game, as you mentioned, blunt head force trauma. We dont know, had he had a head injury before and this was a sort of secondary injury or was this a secondary injury . Were not sure. But its tough to consider what happened. Its interesting, not all of them are from head trauma. Apparently, the leading cause is cardiac arrest, generally. Christine, what do you think is happening . Whats your assessment . Is this a case of increased pressure on these Young Players . Is it that theyre playing at a higher level . Is it a lack of proper equipment or training on the sideline or care on the sideline . I think its a lot of things, michaela and its all very sad and a terrible confluence of events. Five deaths last year, seven already this year. So, thats obviously the eyeopening statistic. Theres also heatrelated deaths that are another number. But, i think, you know, the irony here is that football probably and kids sports have probably never been safer. Were aware of concussions in a way we never were before. The helmets are safer. Kids are taught how to tackle properly and yet we still have this happen. So my sense is that you could also have the issue of high doctors on the high school sidelines as good as college or pro . The answer is probably not. You might have a mom or dad there as a doctor, as opposed to maybe a team of doctors. But sometimes things just happen and its a tragedy. The case of evan murray, the young boy in new jersey, he had a ruptured spleen. Did that cause or help cause his tragic death . Each case really almost as individual, but put it together, its a terrible epidemic at a time, of course, where these kids are just in the prime of their life. The prime of their life. Thats the part thats so heartbreaking. Sanjay, do you think were hearing more about this because concussions have been sort of the National Discussion . Or is it because were keeping better track of these things . As krchristine says, the game i safer. I think so. I think theres certainly a lot more awareness of this, and what used to be sort of mainly a local news report now is making national news, as more people are paying attention to these sorts of things. I think thats certainly part of it. I also think, you know, if you think about the fact with high school, for example, just look at the numbers. You have a lot more kids playing football as compared to college or pros. You know, a million kids playing every friday night. So the numbers are just higher. The denominators are higher as well when it comes to high school. Christine, real quickly, whats a parent to do . You have a 14 or 15yearold who say, i really want to play. This is the advice parents are seeking. How do they make the right decision . And i think you let the child play. You hope the coaching is proper, the technique, you can watch, you can go watch a practice, talk to the coaches, ask questions, talk to the administrators at the high school. The reality is in girls sports, soccer, concussions are the highest rate other than for football or ice hockey. So girls and boys sports, there are dangers but also great awards and thats what we should be focused on. But when a 16yearold and 17 ayearold are dying on a football field, that gives us pause. It sure does. All right, christine, dr. Gupta, always a pleasure. Thanks so much for joining us. You can get in on the conversation by using newdaycnn and you can comment on facebook as well. Chris .

Neil says the flight attendants watches has climbed his way up the aisle. I waslike i dont have time for this. And i decided to crawl up taisl. Good morning. Tuesday october 27th. 8 00 in the east and up first this viral video that must be discussed. It is certainly sparking outrage nationwide. Take a look. It is what it appears to be. That is a teenage girl in class. They call a cop, a resource officer. She went get out of her seat. And this is what happens in this South Carolina high school. Now a lot of people are talking about whether the cop was obviously using force that was not justified and why he was called in the first place. So we dont know what happened in the minutes before this video. But you can hear the officer telling a student to get up. And when she refuses he knocks her to the ground and arrests her. I they number of people are looking at this video and asking themselves would they want their daughter treated that way if she refused to leave class . The investigation into what happened now well under way. South Carolina School Police Officer ben fields seen here is on administrative leave this morning. After his violent takedown of a High School Student was caught on camera monday afternoon. Tossing her to the ground and then throwing her across the classroom floor. We wont want anyone to rush to judgment but we also feel the video was very disturbing. School Officials Say the video is extremely disturbing and has banned the deputy from all district schools pending an investigation. The Sheriffs Department whos also looking into the matter says it is still unclear what happened before the cameras started rolling. Well have to look at this in its totality to understand what happened. Is this a pattern . Is this something hes done before . The deputy has been the subject of two lawsuits in the last ten years. In 2007 a couple claimed he used Excessive Force in questioning them about the noise complaint. The husband says fields slammed him to the ground, cuffed him and began kicking him. But the jury ruled in fields favor in 2010. In 2013 a student claimed field falsely accused the teen of being involved in a gang, the school expelling him. That lawsuit is ongoing. When you see a video like weve seen earlier today it alarms you and makes you awe little afraid of what is happening in the schools. The deputy has been working with the School District seven years and recently awarded the culture of Excellence Award in 2014 for proving to be what they say was an exceptional role model to the students. And stale number still a of questions about what happened before the young girls arrest. We are told she was not hurt during arrest. We also reached out to the officer. He had not responded to our requests for interview. Thanks for all that background. Now can the executive director of the South Carolina aclu. And contributor and former anybody of the South Carolina house of representatives thank you both for being here. Weve had two representatives from Law Enforcement on new day this morning. And they remind us to sort of take a deep breathe because we dont know what happened in the moments leading up to this video. All we know is what where he see on the video. Is it possible that there was something that proceeds what we see that will tell a different story . I cant imagine any justification for treating a child like that in a classroom. We were shocked felt disbelief and then outrage when we saw the video. So whatever led up to it, whatever rationale may be presented does not justify the force with which that student was treated. This siofficer is a sheriff deputy. A School Resource officer. He was assigned to be in the school. We hear him say get up or im going to make you. How can a School Resource officer not be trained to deal with a defiant teenager . Isnt that part and parcel of dealing with the teenagers . Well he treated her as if she was just sammy the neighborhood drunk from the local pool hall who was disturbing the peace. Is facts are this young lady was arrest forward disturbing the peace. The facts are it was a school setting. And the facts are she wasnt about to harm herself or anybody else. That is all we need to know that know that the results of this was more than that. It was wrong. Yes she should have gotten up on the first command or second command but she didnt. She was an unruly teenage ner a classroom setting. And we didnt have to get to the point where as victoria knows South Carolina is on the front lines of embarrassment. And this classical failure of judgment and this assault is tearing us apart again. We do know a little bit about this officers background. He was the subject of two lawsuits. One in 2007 for axesive force. But a jury found in his favor. There is another still pending. He also interestingly got this commendation from a school he worked in last year. An Elementary School. Described as quote an exceptional role model to the student he is serves and protects. What do you think should happen to this officer whos now on administrative leave . I dont want to pass judgment on this individual officer. What our organization, the aclu is interested in looking at the whole system. How do we get to that point . Why do we have so many police in schools in any case resolving disputes and handling problems that may be emotional and could be solved in other ways . We are really overcriminalizing childhood misbehavior. And to allege that this is one officer going rogue is to miss a very big point. Which that we are not investing in counseling medical care, community treatments. Even in identifying what the problems are. Were simply criminalizing behavior that in adults would not be criminal. Hey one of the things im struck by is the response of other kids. I can tell you that in high school when i saw fight. I screamed involuntarily. It was my naturally reaction. These kids sit at their desks. They are quiet. They are barely fidgeting. What does that tell you . Well two things going on. And this is really a study that we really have to look at their reaction. One, i believe the students are very fearful. They are fearful of the police. They are fearful of that setting. One young man in the front who puts his hand up. He wont even make eye contact. And two the theory is they are immune to this type of violence. They see it all the time in classrooms and schools so this is nothing new. I will tell you and the viewers this morning on cnn there was one other young lady who actually stood up. She stood up and said that this young lady who was being arrested she knew she didnt have anybody. She was praying for her outloud. He was asking what is going on. She too was arrested. This was just the colossal failure of the judgment. We dont know that part of the story. So tell us more. There was a classmate who stood up to her defense and what was she arrested. There was another young lady arrested if are disturbing schools as well. Her statement is that she was attempting to fight and stand up for this young lady. Her mother came out and said shes not mad at her daughter at all. Not all the students were docile. But your line of questioning is on point. You know, i think many of the student, i think they wouldnt have been upset if they were asked to leave the classroom while the officer attempted to deescalate the situation. I think all of them feel bad this young lady was brutalized the way she was. If these students sat there because they were immune or fearful, where does that leave South Carolina schools . What is going to happen as a result of this video . Well we all want our children to be safe in school. Understandably. But intimidating Police Tactics are not going to increase respect for the authority of Law Enforcement. And they are going to to terrorize, traumatize children. So the way to build respect is to get discipline right. And we need things like memoranda of understanding between School Districts and Law Enforcement agencies about who handles School Discipline in which cases but were simply over criminalizing. I just want you on the record for. This do you think the sheriffs deputies should be in the schools . We think there are too many Law Enforcement officers in the classroom. Every time we have a School Shooting in the country, the rush to do something is to put an officer in every classroom, even in Elementary School classrooms. It is not even a good use of Law Enforcement assets. Police chiefs will tell you that. But we need were now using those officers against the children rather than outside intruders for minor disciplinary infractions like disturbing schools, which could be anything from, you know, kicking over a chair, slamming a locker, talking back. Not staying in line in the hallways. So were really criminalizing minor infractions. Thanks so much for coming on and giving us your perspective on all of in this morning. We have yuge little news. It is not good for trump. A National Poll gives ben carson a four point lead over trump. As the first. Joe johns more live from washington. Hey joe michaela. Youre o joe. [ laughter ] long morning. A couple of stories here. Ben carson quadrupling his support among Republican Voters since august. Now looking stronger than ever in a National Poll from the New York Times and cbs news. And for the First Time Since the month of july, donald trump not in first place in a survey of likely primary voters from across the country. It is a narrow lead for ben carson at 26 . Trump at 22 . No one else close to the top two. The two candidates from florida, rubio, bush at 8 and 7 . And the former ceo fiorina neck and neck with bush. Number of others bunched up at 4 . Paul, cruz, huckabee and kasich. Perhaps what matters most at this stage is whats happening on the ground in the first states to make the decision. And the latest poll in iowa shows carson up there too widening his lead among non evangelicals. A latest monmouth poll showing carson out to a double digit lead over trump. Carson 32 . Trump at second in 18th. Cruz and rubio at 10 a piece. And the bush a couple of clicks behind at 8 . Also a big dip in this poll for carly fiorina. So a lot to talk about. Saw donald trump just yesterday out in New Hampshire and of course hes distinguishing these polls. We dont talk about the ones where hes up. Right. Everybody can pick a poll. There are lots out there. But the trend is pretty clear if the conclusion is still in doubt. Thank you joe. President obama and season advisors are working on a new plan to take down isis. It considers moving u. S. Troops closer to the front lines in syria and iraq. This as tensions between the u. S. And china are peeking after an American Naval destroyer sails within miles of islands claimed by beijing. Barbara starr, u. S. Boots on the ground bad enough. Moving them to the front lines will be controversial. Indeed. Good morning chris. Well have to see of course whether president obama signs off on such a plan. About 45 minutes from now secretary ash carter, joe bun fe dunford scheduled to it have by the republican led chair of the Armed Services committee. U. S. Officials, pentagon officials telling me there are a number of ideas out there. A number of options. The president has told the pentagon he wants to see some options for more rapid action for more success for trying to build on what they have already done. Carter in fact hinted at some of this last week after that special operations raid in northern iraq, saying that there would be more raids like that. That u. S. Troops might again go into the field. They are advising, assisting and accompanying iraqi forces. We might see more of that. But right now we are told no final decisions have been made. Barbara, keep us updated. Thank you. An american destroyer passes within 12 nautical miles of Artificial Islands in the South China Sea and beijing calls it illegal. But a u. S. Defense official says this is a quote routine patrol. Cnns National Security correspondent jim sciutto joins us in washington. What is the latest. The chinese definitely do not see this as routine. And i just learned that the chinese navy communicated with the u. S. Destroyer during its transit inside these 12 miles of what china claims as its territorial waters but which the u. S. Does not believe it is china territory. And the u. S. Does not view the air space over these island as chinese air space. And we were warned as well by the chinese navy. And this is what its sounded like inside the cockpit. Now, this senior u. S. Military official has not characterized what kind of warning the u. S. Destroyer received during this transit. But you did hear very strong words from the Chinese Foreign Ministry Today in reaction to this transit. And it shows just how serious the chinese are taking this. In that reaction the chinese saying if relevant parties insist on creating tensions in the region and making trouble out of nothing it may force china to draw the conclusion that we need to strengthen and hasten the build up of our capabilities. I advise the u. S. Not to create such a self fulfilling profess. What does building up relevant capabilities mean . U. S. Will be very concerned it means further militarizing. That is a step that the u. S. Would take very seriously. The death toll from the powerful 7. 5 magnitude earthquake rising. At least 3,0least.

Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders no longer playing nice guy after front runner Hillary Clinton calls him sexist. We talk to Sanders Campaign manager ahead. 6 all the shouting in the world is not going to do what i would hope all of us want f. Ive been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence. Well i havent been shouting but sometimes when a woman speaks out some people think its shouting. That was Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton trading jabs. And now Bernie Sanders fighting back against the accusations of s sexism by Hillary Clinton. What does Bernie Sanders think about these charges of sexism against him . Well look, you know, it is an illness here in washington d. C. Some politicians believe that no one could possibly be in a room with them without talking about them. But the truth of the manner was senator sanders was tack about the tenor of the debate in general over the issue of the gun violence and gun safety. And i think anybody who looked at it objectively undersands theres been a lot of shouting back and forth and its time to build a consensus around common sense gun safety legislation. Is the term shouting a sexiest term. Well it wasnt leveled at secretary clinton so i dont think its relevant. Is this prompting Bernie Sanders new tone . What some believe is a new tone of him going after secretary clinton . Lets listen to what he said last night about Hillary Clinton. I have been opposed to these disastrous trade agreements from day one. Im glad that Hillary Clinton has come on board and now said well shes against the keystone pipeline. Well do you know what if you take Climate Change seriously and understand the impact it will have on this planet it is a no brainer what. The American People and democrats have to know, which candidate historically has had the guts to stand up to powerful people and take difficult decisions. So is that Bernie Sanders taking off the gloves against Hillary Clinton . Look, there are some clear policy differences. The Clinton Campaign has tried as rapidly as they can to race towards senator sanders in terms of positions. Because, you know, hes setting the terms of the debate in this election. So you see on keystone, she said they were inclined to support it. In terms of tpp, she said it was the gold standard. Spoke in favor of it 45 times. In terms of doma she claimed it was kind defensive action when in fact it was that discriminatory gay law against americans. And in terms of the consistency of the positions which they have held over the years. Jeff, this does sound like a different tone from Bernie Sanders. It is not to congenial tone that we heard at the debate. Is this intentional from your campaign that now sort of the gloves are off and it is time. To more vociferously go after Hillary Clinton . It is laying out the differences between the candidates. Voters have a choice. They go o into the booths and they are making a choice. And it is important to know what those choices are. I would also say while weve been setting the agenda in this debate. The Clinton Campaign has really been setting the tone. It was they who launched super pac attempts against senator sanders and made this sordid sexist attack against Bernie Sanders. All baseless. And if that is the tone they want to set in this campaign, you know, we can do that as well. Jeff, so much was made in the debate of that moment where Bernie Sanders said enough with the emails, nobody gives a damn about the emails. And that did seem to be one of the highlights of the debate of the but now a couple of weeks out, in sort of the cool light of day, does Bernie Sanders regret making that statement . Because it did seem too friendly to Hillary Clinton. No. Absolutely not. Look, this must be a campaign about issues. About trade policy. About raising the minimum wage. About dealing with a rigged economy that is propped up by a corrupt political system. Those are the issues we want to talk about. Emails or no emails. That is not an important issue to the American People. What they want that hear about is the issues you heard last night. Where he is drawing contrasts but they are on the substantive issues that American People care about. Jeff weaver, thanks so much for being on new day. A new National Poll establishing dr.

And i think what you are seeing is the cycle which people are talking about parallels what happened last time when we went from herman cane to gingrich and so on. Voters are just now beginning to look at issues and in this trump case they are seeing oh my gosh this guy really does support single hblg supported and all these issues that the conservative Republican Base cant stand. There will be a lot more of that happening and there will be i think the shifting take place over the next month or two. Trump will say im ahead in all the other polls so im still on top. And lets give him the benefit of that. And then look at what it means for the party. Because yes, you are right. It is still kind of early but i it kind of isnt. Weve been covering this intensely for months and what does this say about where your party . Do we even understand where you electorate is right now. If this doesnt change it is a real problem for the party. And it is a real problem because neither trump or carson have no real sense of what presidency is. They would be in my opinion another obama. They would come with seductive rhetoric. Without understanding the responsibility. Without understanding the role of the United States as the last superpower. Without understanding how to cope with the difficult issues internationally. And we would have a second disastrous presidency. And i think the republican electorate has to begin to understand that leading in public is not the same as leading in the private sector. It would be a disaster for the country and a disaster for the party if they dont come to their senses and select one of the experience candidates to be the nominee. They wanted president obama fortwo terms. And these are your people, governor. They are saying in iowa specifically right now, whether they are moderate, republicans or evangelical religiously driven republicans. They want ben carson. And not only do they want ben carson and second now donald trump. But they dont want any of the rest of you. So what is the message to the field . Jeb bush with all his money and recent meetings. Kasich . Rubio . These big names. I go back to the point i made. This is a conversation that has to continue. The candidates have to Start Talking about issues. The public has to start moving away from seductive rhetoric to evaluating issues and capacity to serve. That happens in an election process. That is part of the process. Weve got about 100 days to the first vote in iowa. That is an eternity politically. And at the hundred day mark weve had president giuliani and president cain in the past. So lets have this conversation. But remember, iowa picks corn and New Hampshire picks president. Understood in terms of it is not since george h. W. Bush. It is only. Right. So we havent seen it since him and he was an outlier in that regard as well. I understand the context. Yet you do have to take it somewhat seriously here right . I do. I do. When you look at whats happening with them. Because look, jeb bush just had this big reconnection meeting with his sponsor. What can he do to get back into this . I think what you are going to see now is not just jeb bush. You are going to see the serious candidates like kasich and rubio and christie. They are going to start understanding that in order to compete with the free media that carson and trump have been getting because they are really entertainment at this point. The serious candidates are going to start pumping up their advertising, talking about their background. Talking about their positions. And eventually, i believe, the republican electorate is going to understand that this is an election that is important. That we cant make a mistake. That weve got to nominate someone. And that if we do nominate someone that has the capacity to be a president they will go ahead and beat Hillary Clinton. And under you right now on our screen is a banner that reads 7 in 10 republicans have not yet made up their mind. And obviously you are relying on that to believe there could still be a change within the party. Thank you for being here. Nobody are discuss this more than on cnn. So please come back. Thank you for having me. Kurdish fighters in syria laying the groundwork for possible front line attack against ice. Active management can take calculated risks. Active management can seek to outperform. Because active Investment Management isnt reactive. Its active. Thats the power of active management. Big development in the fight against isis. The white house considering a plan to send u. S. Troops closer to the front lines in syria and iraq. A decision could come as early as this week. Meanwhile kurdish fighters plodding a possible attack on the terrorist headquarters in raqqa. Joined live from erbil iraq. Tell us what you have seen. Reporter good morning. Just a few weeks the u. S. Dropped 50 tons of ammunition to a new Coalition Fighting against isis on the ground in syria. Group t kurdish ypg and they in told us that is not going to be enough for them. These men are at the core of americas latest strategy to defeat isis. Manning positions along a vast and decembles desolate front li. They are fighters with the ypg, a force of roughly 30,000 syrian kurds which backed by Coalition Air power has dealt decisive blows to Islamic State militants across Northern Syria. This commander is in charge of a front line position in the city of hasikka which the ypg to be from isis in august after months of fierce clashes. They tried to attack us again ten days ago. We were prepared so they didnt reach their target. But they keep trying. Isis has control over the next village just over a mile in that direction. But the men of this base tell us isis fighters often go at night to that building just over there so they can launch attacks on these positions. The u. S. Hopes the ypg will soon move from defense to offense taking the fight to isiss stronghold in raqqa. But at makeshift bases we saw the fighters were lightly armed, poorly equipped and exhausted by months of fighting. And commander knows the battles ahead will be even tougher. Can you take raqqa without heavier weapons from the coalition . Translator the weapons we have are not high quality. For this campaign well need new heavy weapons. The newest weapon they have and dont want to talk about is this device. Which helps the ypg send location information. They were given a week of training before using te ininei device. Who trained you how to use this . Believe me. I cant say. When you finish the training its a secret. But they werent speaking kurdish. A mystery as is so much of the unfolding u. S. Strategy in this critical corner of syria. The main reason the u. S. Is being so circumspect about its support of the ypg is because the group works very closely with its turkish counterpart, the pkk. And the pkk is technically designated a terrorist organization. What can you tell us about the new reporting this morning that president obama is weighing moving u. S. Troops closer to the front lines in syria . Well i cant say exactly whats going on in the white house but on the ground in syria, i can tell you that the feeling with e got on the front lines was that these front lines for the moment have very much static. And the ypg dont have the ability or the will yet to push ahead to take on an offensive like raqqa. So essential it would take some very dramatic ib type of development, such this possible, in order to push along and get real momentum for serious offenses against isis strongholds. And the terrible refugee crisis we understand is getting worse. What have you seen on the ground . Well i think what was most striking alisyn was not seeing refugee camps or displaced people but driving through entire villages that are now completely deserted. Some of them fleeing isis who have put land mines all over the place and rigged the towns with ieds and booby traps. And other fleeing the coalition forces. But they are part of 50 of syrians no longer living in their own homes. Thank you so much. Great to have you on board at cnn.

United airlines is issuing an apology to a young man with Cerebral Palsy when a mix up at the gate meant no wheelchair for him at the plane. He waited over 45 minutes before he decided to crawl off the plane himself. You sure have made head lines, havent you . Yes i have. Not to be indelicate but i understand the reason you were urgently trying to get off the plane was you needed to use the facilities. With your disability it is not easy to use the one on the airplane, correct. Correct. And you waited for everybody to get off and were supposed to be waiting for the wheelchair to be brought on to help you deplane but that didnt happen. Did they alert you to the problem . Not really. Standard protocol is when airplanes land i wait about 1520 minutes as everyone deboards and immediately after they are supposed to bring in the aisle chair with the staff. And that didnt happen. And the flight attendants were doing their job i guess telling me just wait, it will be here. Were talking to them. They are on their way. But obviously that wasnt the case. And then at some point you said okay. I got to go. And you werent making a fuss. You just kind of quietly got down on your arms and crawled out to the jetway. Correct . Yes. Essentially i had told them i had to use the bathroom. And i told them two or three times and he asked many why i couldnt use the one on the plane. So having Cerebral Palsy im not able to stand. Sp so thats virtually impossible. And when asked where my wheelchair was he said on the jetway. I said okay im just going to believe. It was interesting. I expected them to say how can we assist you . What is the best way . And they didnt. Interesting, because afterwards i understand with when the flight attendants reached out to the airline and they tweeted you. And you thanked United Airlines for their Quick Response and decisive action. Now lets get ada seats on planes. An apology has come but you say an apology is good but you want more done. You have some ideas how they could change things on planes. Give us a quick couple of ideas. One of the biggest issues is that airlines do not have ada seats. And their protocol in place is antiquated and completely inefficient. So i think if they were to law ada in the first three rows. One seat on either side. And it would speed up. Letting people with disabilities board first and exit first it would just make the entire process much easier. And the you were meeting with who about what . San francisco . I had actually flown over to talk about a transportation company, uber, about accessible transit and the issues surrounding it. So this is very ironic. Might maybe you be able to sit down with some airlines. Seems like a perfect conversation and perfect anecdote to use. Absolutely. I think like i said im not expecting them to rip out seats out of a plane because i now for safety concerns that is not appropriate. However, cordoning off seats in the front of a plane is an easy thing they can do. They can do it tomorrow if they want. So if i want a conversation im very open to the possibility.
