Talapoosa county Girls Ranch that provides a home for neglected or abused schoolage children. I want to go to Martin Savidge in alabama on the phone. What more are you learning . This is such a horrific situation there. Absolutely, jim. It really is. We are at the camp where they were headed to when they were returning from a beach vacation. Twice a year, girls from this particular facility go down to gulf shores. They were returning from that beach trip yesterday, and they were on I75 Northbound just south of montgomery, alabama around 2 00 in the afternoon. There was a horrific accident. Nine people were in the van, including the driver. Eight of the people in that van died. All of them children between the ages of 4 and 17. There was one survivor from the crash. And that person was the Camp Director and she lost two of her own children in the very same crash. It was a fiery Wreck And Everyone who was there said it was absolutely horrendous. I want you to listen to the words of Michael Smith. He is the ceo of the Alabama Youth Ranch that oversees this ranch. When you look at what we lost yesterday, we lost eight young people that can make a difference in our world. We lost eight young people that didnt have a chance to have their own children. We lost eight young people that Cant Break the cycle of where they have been and change it for their children. We had two vans of children coming back from the beach, and also a chase car. But there were several miles apart. And the first van was the one that had the accident. We had we had nine people in that van. Eight fatalities and one survivor in that van yesterday. Thats the tragedy that were faced with. This was a multivehicle crash, jim. At least 15 vehicles involved. The ntsb is suspecteding investigators to look into it. Two other people died in another vehicle, a father and daughter. He was 29 and she was 9 months old. And the weather at the time is now being looked at very seriously because we were dealing with the aftermath of a tropical storm that had come ashore so the rain had been intense. The Road Traffic was heavy, too. A lot of people were coming back from the beach. They wanted to be back home for sunday and Fathers Day. It is just horrendous the attitude of grief here on this ranch and so many of those who died had already come from such difficult backgrounds and had survived so much only to die tragically and now their friends who mourn them are going through not only the tragedies of their own personal lives but the tragic loss of their friends. Its heartbreaking, jim. Just gut wrenching, martin, to think about these children who were at a home for abused or neglected children and then to die in this fashion, its just awful. And, you know, i hope people are thinking about these children tonight. Martin, one person in that van from the South Ranch did survive. What more do we know about the survivor at this point . The Ranch Director was actually pulled from the crushed vehicle by passersby. Again, heres Michael Smith talking about what he knows about that. The survivor of that van is our director of Ranch Life here at the ranch. And thank god for the survivors. I mean, the people that were there, the bystanders that were there to help her become a survivor because they actually saved her life from the van. She was pulled from the van. She was trapped in the van. She was unconscious. And they were able to pull her from the van and her life was saved. But she lost two of her own children, as we reported. Now this facility here is preparing for eight funerals, and its a heartbreaking loss, not just for this community but for a number here in alabama. Jim . All right, Martin Savidge, thank you for that report. Just such sad news out of alabama. Please think about those kids this evening if you can. Just a terrible situation. Martin savidge on top of that story for us. Meanwhile, across the united states, the Gun Violence Epidemic continues during another violent weekend in philadelphia. Multiple shootings left two dead and several injured, including a 3yearold whose father was among those killed in the violence. The toddler who police say was shot in the leg is now without a dad on Fathers Day. With me now is cnns evan mcmorrissantoro. Another unspeakable situation just awful. Lets point out that we Cant Mention all of the shootings that have happened this weekend because there have been so many. Philadelphia isnt by any means alone this evening in this regard. What can you tell us . Thats rirght, jim. We talked about the record numbers of shootings in this Country And Mass shootings so far this year. The numbers have only risen since the last time that we talked. It seems when people come together when they gather. Theres always a fear of Gun Violence. A couple of incidents to talk about of the many across the entire country that have happened the past couple of days. In dallas, eight people shot, including an 8yearold And 10yearold when two separate parties interacted with Each Other and shots broke out leading to those people getting shot. In oakland, another celebration. A 22yearold Man was killed and five others ranging from 16 to 27 were shot after gunfire at the celebration there. Police arrested two men and confiscated two firearms connected with that incident. But these are just two of the many, many stories across the entire country that are happening this weekend, the previous weekend and hopefully not next weekend but the way things are going, this is the summer of shootings, jim. It sure seems that way. I want to ask you about chicago. We saw another violent night. Chicago has been dealing with this for so long. This weekend was another example of how bad things can be in that city sometimes. 20 incidents of gunrelated violence in a single night. Three people killed. The oldest victim 62. Youngest 20. No suspects in any of those cases. Thats all according to Chicago Police department. Leaders in that city, like leaders across the country, are begging people to try to put the guns away, maybe not bring them out in some of these disputes. Advocates hope something might happen in washington to put a handle on this. At this moment were seeing a huge surge in this that could be with us for the rest of the year, jim. All right, evan mcmorrissantoro. Im afraid to say this, but i suspect well be back next weekend talking about this very same problem in this country. Thankeds for keeping tabs. Now to South Florida where more is coming to light about a tragedy at a pride parade. The shocking moment when a Pickup Truck suddenly accelerated and crashed after hitting a group of people. One man was killed, another badly hurt. Were hearing about who was behind the wheel. Natasha chen is near the place where the crash happened. Fill us in. It turns out this may not have been intentional it sounds like from what the police are saying. Thats right. Yeah, were standing at the border of ft. Lauderdale and wilton manons. The Police Chief issued a Statement Saying that we now know Yesterdays Incident was a tragic accident and not a Criminal Act directed at any one Person Or Group of individuals. The ft. Lauderdale police have also issued more details of what happened saying this was a 77yearold Driver in a white Pickup Truck. He was going to be a participant in the parade and was not planning to walk in the procession but was going to drive that car in this procession. So when he started moving the car forward to the start of the parade, it suddenly accelerated and it, unfortunately, hit two pedestrians, striking them across the street there and then he plowed into that Garden Center you see with the yellow tape there. The two people who were hit, one of them unfortunately died. The other is expected to survive. The ft. Lauderdale gay Mens Chorus has told us that all those involved, the victims and the driver, are members of the chorus. And so this is a really difficult moment for them. And we have been talking to some witnesses here who say that police and first responders really just jumped into action here. The gay Mens Chorus saying theyre deeply saddened by this loss and really thanked the community for their love and support, jim. Natasha, thanks for that update.

Capitol during the January 6th attack have no regard for democracy or government, but now some say they are planning on running for office in their home states after being involved in something like that. Some think their actions January 6th could actually help their campaign, if you can believe that. Cnns Sara Murray has more. Reporter from the Capitol Riot . Yes, i was in washington, d. C. Reporter to the campaign trail. F. Election integrity is not the number one issue of these guys running, then they are either lost, confused or too stupid to be running. Reporter republican joey gilbert, a former boxer turned lawyer says hes launching a bid for nevada governor. Im not a politician. I never want to be a politician. Let me tell you something i am probably going to be doing. Thats called running for governor. Reporter the announcement coming just months after gilbert was in washington and scaled the Capitol Steps January 6th. One of the most beautiful things ive seen. People on the Capitol Steps. We just walked right up. When i went up there. Reporter but insists he never went inside. Yes, some people did go into the capitol. I dont condone that. I had nothing to do with that. Reporter gilbert, who is still doubling down on the lie the president ial election was stolen in my opinion, trump is still our president. Reporter is one of nearly a dozen aspiring politicos spotted by cnn and other news outlets. In much mnks Ryan Kelly is running for governor and ducking questions about his whereabouts during the capitol insurrection. I never went inside the capitol building. Never had the intention to and did not go inside, nor did i have any altercation with Police Officers. Reporter while he denied going inside, Kelly Wouldnt respond to cnn or a local news reporters question about images showing him deep in the fray of rioters outside the capitol. Thats you, correct, right here . Youve got my statement on the capitol. Reporter Gill Bert and kelly could face crowded primaries. Its too early to say if they have a shot at victory. While neither have been accused of a crime thats not the case for jason riddle. Arrest afterward showing photos of himself in the capitol showing bottles of a wine he stole. He has unlawful Entry And Theft of government property. Now he says breaking into the capitol could be a boost to his campaign. I show up, im going to keep my promises and make some changes. Reporter but first hell have to clarify what if anything, hes actually running for. I thought a State Representative. No, a State Rep is in the statehouse in congress. Thats what ann is. No, shes in washington. I guess i have to run against that. Reporter in addition to having no idea what hes running for, heres another wrinkle. Hes not allowed to set foot in d. C. Under the terms of his release. Lawyers did not respond to Cnns Request for comment. Additionally kelly and gilbert did not respond to Cnns Requests. Sara murray, cnn, washington. All right. Lets bring in political Commentator And Host of pbs Firing Line and john avlon. John, just when you thought you heard it all, insurrectionists for congress, whats your reaction to what we just heard there . Its surreal but not surprising because the republican party has encouraged these people. You know, treason must be made odious but these folks feel there will be a benefit in a polarized situation with closed partisan primaries. And thats the problem. The republican party has created a circumstance where folks who attacked our capitol, seditionists, feel like its a political benefit in terms of winning a primary. So they may be absurd. They may be, you know, clueless as to what office theyre running for like the guy who needs to figure out what district hes running in, in new hampshire. But dont treat it as a joke because theres no compromise with lies here, folks. And these folks must be defeated down the ballot and republicans must realize that engaging in sedition for whatever reason, listening to Donald Trump, is a Deal Breaker with democracy. Full stop. Yeah, margaret, do you think some of these knuckleheads could get elected . Elected statewide . Truly depends on the state. Theres one i have my eyes on. Not for a statewide election but the reason im watching this and the reason its important, especially if you have any interest in a strong Center Right republican party, like i do, some of these candidates, so far, republicans have tried to emulate trump have not had that much success. We have not spawned a whole new generation of mini trumps that have had fast success at the Ballot Box that show they could succeed Donald Trump and even reach the presidency. But this new generation of candidates with outsider status, Charisma And Ability to Community Taking on trumps kind of risk, this new generation of people who take on trumps mantel within the republican party. And that makes it even harder for the Mitt Romneys and Susan Collins and Richard Burrs and more centrist republicans to fend off primary battles and for the Center Right to reemerge within the context of the republican party. I have my eyes on these candidates in particular to see how the State Parties respond to them and whether they are successful. Right. And this week, john, this past week the Justice Department released some disturbing new video where rioters were seen punching and tackling Police Officers. Ive been wanting to get your take on all of this for the last several days as we have been watching these videos. And this comes as some of these republicans in the house have been pushing false Flag Conspiracy theorys about the fbi behind these attacks. What is going on here . What do you think . Among other things, back the blue is a complete lie. Theres no situational ethics. If you back people trying to overturn an election. You cannot back Police Officers if you back people who tried to attack them, who did attack them. And the false Flag Stuff is the last refuge of scoundrels. Im not surprised folks are pushing this because thats what Conspiracy Theorists do, but dont the fact that its a demonstrable lie that what Tucker Carlson said on air about unindicted coconspirators being fbi agents is fundamentally wrong. But that his cluelessness is not a defense because then that gets in the water. These people need to be called out as the grifters they are. They are lying to their supporters, dividing our country. Im not surprised to hear the false Flag Stuff. Ive been seeing this since wing nuts but to see it done in an attempt to overturn an election, dont underestimate the seriousness of this crazy to our country. Yeah. And its so scummy, too. Margaret, it seems like republicans are desperately trying to blame anybody but who actually is responsible for what happened that day. Yeah, i dont know if i there are republicans who voted to convict the president. Remember. So lets not god bless them, but very few. There are very few. Im a little sensitive about painting all republicans with a broad brush because there are some republicans who are vehemently defending the constitution but the republicans you point out, jim, are right. In the House Of Representatives like Matt Gaetz who is pressing the latest greatest conspiracy theory. He was on the House Floor less than 24 hours after the insurrection saying it was caused by antifa. These people do not have the best interest of your democracy at heart. Their own ambitions that are leading the way. So unfortunately that is the predominant strain in the House Of Representatives and the republican party, just not all republicans. Just most of them. Former president Mike Pence was speaking at a conference in Florida On Friday and the crowd was just downright ugly towards them. Lets watch. I want to thank my friend Ralph Reed for those overly generous words. Im deeply humbled by them. He knows me well enough to know the introduction i prefer is a little bit shorter. Im a christian. A conservative and a republican, in that order. And i am john, isnt that wild given that Mike Pence has been a christian conservative, i mean, since, i mean, since birth, i think . Well, i Cant Vouch for his childhood years but the seriousness of the situation is you cannot compromise with this kind of corrosive crazy. Mike pence is never going to make the people who were trying to chanting that he should be hung on the Capitol Steps like him. And he should stop trying. But he should also use his position as a former Vice President to call out this much more clearly. And the fact is hes always going to get called a traitor by the extremes. That is a sign of how insane the circumstances right now. If he Cant Figure out that, that the smartest thing politically would be to tell The Truth, then i dont know what okay. I would just like to interject, jim. I watched that whole speech. That was one heckler at the beginning of the speech. Weve all been to political speechers. Every now and then you get a heckler. The vast majority of that speech and that crowd was enormously si supportive of Mike Pence. What i took away was margaret, do you mind if i was trying to keep it chill on this Fathers Day and youre next to john and all that and you have a beautiful family, by the way thank you. But they were chanting hang Mike Pence January 6th and then to hear a crowd at a friendly audience like that and maybe it was just a few folks in the crowd. Were hearing estimates of 6 to 8, maybe 10 chanting traitor, thats disturbing because it just takes one cuke to do something that would cause yeah, i want to i dont think it should be diminished if i may mildly push back on you. By all means push back. Were trying to get to the bottom of this and understand The Truth for the sake of our viewers. And the point is, yes, its troublesome. Nobody should be calling Mike Pence a traitor. He gave that whole speech defending Donald Trumps legacy but not apologizing for standing up for the constitution on January 6th and doing the right thing, thank god, which they absolutely would have hung him for. On that you and i agree. I would say that he was well received by the crowd and what i took away from the speech was Mike Pence is running for president and has strong support in the religious community and the base of the republican party. Whatever that overlap is, mike jim, of people who are going to shout traitor at a christian conservative rally should probably go back and read The Bible again and maybe reacquaint themselves with some of the virtues of Mercy And Faith and forgiveness as opposed to the kind of hate thats causing them to defend in an attempt to overturn an election. Well, i think youre right about that. But i think that Mike Pence politically has, you know. Some tough sledding ahead of him. He put himself in that position. Well talk about this again in the future. But happy Fathers Day to you. Thanks so much. Coming up, the Cruise Industry is getting one step closer to Setting Sail again.

Royal caribbeans Freedom Of The Seas is Setting Sea on a Test Cruise with hundreds of volunteer employees. The Twonight Test will be a Trial Run of new Safety Protocols as Crew Lines working on getting paying customers back on board and get that process under way. This comes just days after Royal Caribbean had to postpone the inaugural sailing of another Ship Due to positive tests for eight crew members. Leyla santiago is in miami where the Freedom Of The Seas will depart. What are the protocols well be seeing there . We are going to see some changes. We expect this to kind of kick off right at 7 00 p. M. Freedom of the seas will take off with 600 passengers. This is a simulated voyage, jim. Consider it kind of a Trial Run, if you will. A requirement from the cdc if they want to avoid requiring 95 of passengers to be vaccinated. Now for this, they are turning to their employees to be the passengers. All of whom are fully vaccinated. Today Royal Caribbean told me that it is encouraging vaccination, that it is key to all of this, but it is not requiring vaccination for future voyages out of florida. So i asked why. There is a certain element. Theres a certain percentage that we can handle, and if certain individuals do not want to get vaccinated, we do strongly recommend all the guests to be vaccinated. Thats for sure, for those who are eligible. But we have measures in place to keep the cruises safe. Reporter lets talk about the measures in place. The protocols for unvaccinated passengers on Royal Caribbean cruises. Here they are. They must provide proof of a negative Covid Test within three days of sailing. They must undergo Covid Testing at the terminal before getting on and off that Cruise Ship. And it comes with a 136 testing fee. Now heres a bit of a curveball. A development in the last 48 hours. You remember in april, governor Ron Desantis sued the cdc in court. On friday a judge ruled that come july 18th, the cdc cannot require these Cruise Ships to follow their new order. So what does that mean in terms of impact . Everybody is still sort of reviewing that 124page ruling to figure that out. Jim . Still working out the kinks in a very big industry. Leyla santiago, thanks for breaking that down for us. We appreciate it. Cnn medical Analyst And Professor of Medicine And Surgery at george washington university, dr. Jonathan riner joins me. I want to get your reaction to this test from the Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship thats about to embark. What do you think . Im glad to see cruises getting out on the water. I think every cruise should be 100 vaxed, and if you are an unvaccinated passenger, you are crazy to go on a Cruise Ship. Clinically speaking or just covid crazy . I think youre covid crazy. The Delta Variant thats quickly rising in the united states is very transmissible. If you are unvaccinated, you are highly susceptible to that. Cruise ships are highly contained environments. A lot of people, you know, think about the buffet lines, think about the theaters and casinos and the pool decks. There are a lot of opportunities for virus to transmit. Just think about, you know, the Grand Princess off the coast of japan last year with 700 positive passengers on board. So it just takes one positive passenger to transmit the virus. And if you are unvaccinated, you are the target. So do not go on a cruise if you are not vaccinated. If you are vaccinated, have a great time. Yeah. Youre right about that. Let me ask you about this because this crosses into the world of sports, and i dont know about you, doctor. You may be in the same category as me. Ive been disappointed in some of these athletes not doing the smart thing when it comes to advising people to get vaccinated. Cole beasley put out a tweet earlier this week saying hed rather retire than get vaccinated. His tweet came after the nfl laid out guidelines for vaccinated and unvaccinated players and staff. What do you think about this . Do you think professional Sports Leagues should require their players and staff to get vaccinated . I do. I think they should require 100 vaccination for two reasons. One from a business standpoint. Its incredibly disruptive when covid starts going through your team in the middle of the season. Number two, its the example you want to set. I thought mr. Beasleys statement was sophomoric and selfish. This is not just about him. Its about his community. There are 50 Million children under the age of 12 that cant be vaccinated now. So his infection is a threat to them. There are many thousands of people who are immunocompromised because of either cancer or they are an Organ Transplant Recipient or take medications that lessen their immune response. They remain vulnerable. And his intransigence puts them at risk. He had this full Bravado Statement where he said hed rather die living. Well, ive seen a lot of people with this kind of false bravery, right up until the point theyre paralyzed and intubated in the icu all alone. So spare me. Yeah. Its important to remember, he is an expert in catching footballs, not in deadly diseases like the coronavirus, right, dr. Reiner . I dont catch footballs. And to dont get your Coronavirus Advice from a wide receiver. Yeah. Well, but i wish these athletes would do a little more in promoting this because it is just so darn important. Were seeing the Vaccination Levels in this country just not g getting to where they need to be. Hopefully other pro athletes will pick up the slack from cole beasley. Great to see you.

Developments on an issue throwing a light on people of faith, including the president of the united states. Leaders of the Catholic Church are debating whether to formally deny communion to public figures to support a womans right to have an abortion. One of those public figures is joe biden. I want to bring in father edward beck, a cnn religious commentator. Great to see you as always. This is a very interesting issue. President biden is the first catholic president elected since john f. Kennedy, and you wrote in the cnn oped, the president s reception of community is a private matter between him and his confessor. Explain why you feel this way and why this is a touchy subject for the Catholic Church . Well, first of all, jim, its ones individual conscience and informed moral conscience is the decisionmaking about receiving communion. You dont know whats in the Heart And Mind of somebody, what process they have gone through, first of all. I had mass this morning, a few of them actually, and unsolicited, i cant tell you how many people came up to me and were really upset about this. I mean, across the political spectrum. And basically what they were saying was, you had a former president who checked none of the Life Issue boxes for the Catholic Church except that he said he would appoint Supreme Court justices that could overturn roe v. Wade. And thats all that seemed to matter. We had a Photo Op of The Bible. Seemed to make fun of the pope and then you have joe biden, a practicing catholic, who is prochoice, although he says hes personally opposed to abortion, and people are talking about denying him communion. The reception of communion. People see it as really based in hypocrisy. I cant tell you. Some said this is the final straw for them. If the bishops go ahead with that, thats it for them. Yeah, and father, you point out that some bishops believe that Church Leaders are, quote, Weaponizing The Eucharist for political purposes. What bothers you when those two lines, faith and politics, come close to crossing . Should they cross . Well, jim, i think one of the questions is, are there then other Litmus Tests about communion . What about other Life Issues . What about Capital Punishment . What about immigration . What about the environment . So are we supposed to stand then in a Commune Mind with a check Dollars List and are we supposed to decide who is qualified to receive or is it just going to be this one issue . I mean, the word itself communion means with unity. And what we saw this week is the divided episcopal conference, divided bishops that are causing more division in the church and, again, in fairness to them, jim, theres no document done yet. So its going to be now drafted and well see in november what it actually says. Maybe there will be nothing about the reception of communion of President Biden or anybody else. Maybe it will be kind of an exhortation on the eucharist. We just dont know. But remember, it has to pass twothirds at that meeting to get approved of the bishops. And then Pope Francis has to approve it as well. And this is a pope who has said the eucharist is not a surprise for the perfect. Its Medicine And Nourishment for the weak. So i dont know if im going to see Pope Francis approving a document that might exclude people from receiving communion based on these cultural hotbutton issues. Especially the president. I want to ask you about that. What are the chances we might see President Biden and Pope Francis meet facetoface, have a visit at the White House . Well, i mean, it would be great if we have the pope come visit the united states again. You remember, jim, what that was like the last time he came. I dont know if hes going to be coming back any time soon. He has a lot of other countries he says is on his list. We heard all of this stuff about the meeting when biden was in europe that, well, the pope shunned him. Didnt meet with him. They were never supposed to meet. The pope has had a very warm relationship with President Biden. So if he does come to the united states again, you can be sure that he will meet with President Biden, and they will have a conversation about this. But it will be in private. Pastor to congregant to faithful. This is what the faith teaches us about communion. Its supposed to bring people together. Jesus ate with sinners. Thats the precursor of the eucharist. Those meal narratives. Its about inclusion. Thats how conversion happens. So to base it on exclusion, i think, is barking up the wrong tree and i dont think Pope Francis is a fan of it at all. I remember when Pope Francis visited the united states. Came to the White House. Met with barack obama. That was quite a visit. And it will be fascinating to see. Pope francis should come to the united states. Wed love to see that happen. Father edward beck, thanks for joining us and happy Fathers Day to you. Happy Fathers Day to you, too, jim.
