like dying babies. but you don t want to attack the guy. in a week where you ve got republicans trying to figure out how to vote on a health care bill, all is does is focus on the very issues they re trying to strip away. and this is just basic messaging. i think the gop could learn a lot from. let s not talk about dying babies and say we re okay with dead babies as a reason to justify our health care plan. not good messaging, just like saying some of the talk on rape and women that has come from the gop in recent years, just not helpful for you to try to push your agenda by saying like spousal rape is okay. then do you think jimmy kimmel on some level may have helped the case? so we ve seen throughout the campaign hillary clinton s celebrity contingent hurt her. jimmy kimmel is saying this isn t partisan, this is about humanity. could this push more gop members on the fence to say, hold on a second, we ve got to cover
part and that same year the government created the epa and now people concerned about the regulations being rolled back. are you concerned at all? yeah, i think the challenge for me is that a lot of these problems i feel science isn t partisan. i feel that for us to come up with solutions, we need to understand the problem. i personally believe that science is what is going to help us define the problems and then we can start having political discussions. reporter: so those are the sentiments here in san francisco. thank you so much, sara sidner and miguel marquez, our appreciation to both of you being out in the crowds. up next here in the newsroom, another airline controversy, this time involving american airlines. now a flight attendant is suspended after video of an altercation with a page went viral. the video and the back story just minutes away here in the cnn newsroom. [ceo] welcome.
scientists, muslim graduate students, they are affected by this in a way that is bigger than us which is science. and immigration is one of the causes you hear. and what is your name? abby. you are walking with this handsome person right here. and this says science for our future. why did you think it was so important to bring your child out here today? i m a nurse scientist at columbia university. and i believe that science is extremely important for our future. it s extremely important to listen to scientist experts in order to inform policy and have evidence based decision making. and is this a partisan issue? there are people on the left, people on the right who don t believe in some science, for example touched by hot button issue, proposed the left and right. and it s the sciences are proven that it s there. scientic theories don t need to be they are not of opinions. and that is a lot of what we re hearing. this isn t partisan, this is
most or many logs and redacted ones that they considered national security issues. the question is why can t the trump administration do the same? if it s a national security risk, those won t be public, but the rest, open book. my suspicion is, in time, they will get to something that s closer to the obama administration. but for right now, i frankly think they ought to keep these records secret, which is what at least undisclosed, which is what the obama administration all white house this is not a partisan issue, though. no. that s why i m kind of troubled by jack s sentiment. i mean, i understand we put on partisan hats, we talk about this all the time. but this is just an american responsibility, transparency issue. that s not donald trump s house. that s the taxpayers house. and he works for the taxpayers of in the country. and the taxpayers deserve to see who s going in and out. we re not asking if it s a national security risk or a privacy concern? then redac
that s the taxpayers house. and he works for the taxpayers of this country. and the taxpayers deserve to see who s going in and out. we re not asking if it s a national security risk or a privacy concern, then redact it. but this isn t partisan at all. but they are following the obama court no, they re not. the position of releasing it but that just shows you that doesn t make it right but that also shows you the level of transparency. after the president won, he still released the records. to be clear, that is a fact. the court the obama administration did redact some for national security concerns. but they released a whole host voluntarily, in effect. that is a fact. they did release them on a regular basis. you could go to the website. the website since the obama administration left has been a blank page. so this is another area where there was back sliding in terms of government transparency and ethics. ethics standards for all the
