paton walsh and what it tells us about the internet's impact on you and me and our kids as well. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news and the president's campaign of intimidation and retribution against big law firms, which has been remarkably successful. he's extracted deals where they promised to give him tens of millions of dollars of free legal work. tonight's news concerns one big firm which has refused to make a deal. perkins coie, which represented hillary clinton's campaign in 2016 and which the president targeted with an executive order. a federal district judge has just struck that order down. judge beryl howell writing, no american president has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all executive branch agencies, but in purpose and effect. this action draws from a playbook as old as shakespeare, who penned the phrase the first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers. cnn's evan perez has been going through the ruling joins us now. so the judge gave a sharp, sharp

rebuke of the trump administration. what else did she say? >> that's right, anderson, this is a sharp rebuke because it totally cancels the executive order. this is the first order from a judge that says the entire order is unconstitutional and is blocking it in a final order. and one of the things she does is she points out that quote again from henry vi, shakespeare's henry the sixth, and she says, in a cringe worthy twist on the theatrical phase phrase, let's kill all the lawyers. she says that this executive order takes the approach of let's kill the lawyers. i don't like sending the clear message that lawyers must must stick to the party line or else. and anderson, she goes on to point out that one of the key parts of this is the fact that it essentially makes it impossible for defendants, companies, or people to choose a lawyer of their own, of their choice, essentially because you now have to pick a lawyer that

the president likes in order to defend yourself in federal court. and she says it's a clear violation of of the of people's constitutional rights. and she also points out, anderson, that president trump made clear his intentions, you know, normally in cases like this, you have to try to figure out what was the president thinking, what was the intent of the president in this case? he made it plainly clear in the preamble to all of these executive orders. he makes clear that he's doing it because he doesn't like who these law firms were representing, that they oppose him. and he also points out that he doesn't like their diversity practices, their hiring practices. >> the whole thing is designed to intimidate them and prevent people who may get fired by this administration or want to sue this administration from actually being able to hire lawyers in washington, d.c. with experience. evan, stick around. i want to bring in former federal prosecutor and best selling author jeffrey toobin. jeff, we've been covering this now for a long time. judge howell also wrote that what the president is trying to do is contrary to the constitution, which requires that the government respond to dissenting

or unpopular speech or ideas with tolerance, not coercion. so does this ruling. does it apply? is it just about the executive order regarding this firm, or does it apply to all the other firms as well? >> it just applies to perkins coie. but it's important to remember that three other judges have also issued preliminary rulings. not not a more final ruling like this one. also rejecting what the trump administration has tried to do regarding three other lawyers, three other law firms. so so the scorecard at this point is four judges finding the, the these orders against law firms unconstitutional and zero judges supporting what trump has tried to do. now these cases are all going to start to move through the appellate process. perhaps they'll go to the supreme court. but but it is just worth

noting that judges across the political spectrum, in different cases involving different law firms, have all said what trump is trying to do in these completely unprecedented coercive orders against law firms is unconstitutional. >> and does so. does this render toothless any similar threats? the president might might be making, might decide to make to other law firms as well? >> no it doesn't. i mean, he is going to he is free to keep trying because judge howell's opinion only applies to perkins coie now it becomes a precedent that other judges can look to, but it's not binding on those other judges. but. >> and, jeff, why do. >> you. >> think this is so important? well, i mean, it's not just it's not just about. why why do you is this so important? because it's not just about defending high powered law firms. i mean, they're they're wealthy, they can take care of themselves. but what is at stake here? >> what's what's at stake, is

whether lawyers work for their clients or they work for the government. i mean, the idea that the president can decide that a lawyer or a law firm has represented someone that he doesn't like, and thus can sanction those lawyers. and remember, think about the sanctions here. i mean, what what what trump has tried to do to perkins coie is say they can't enter federal buildings. their clients are exposed to sanctions simply because they hire perkins coie. these are incredibly coercive sanctions, that, that are meant to be applied to the law firms. and the only reason is because trump doesn't like their clients. it's not that they violated any law. and you know that that puts in peril the idea that all individuals, all companies have the right to pick the lawyers of their choice. that's what's at stake here, evan.

>> has the government said they're going to appeal this? they haven't said they will. >> oh, yeah. exactly. they haven't said yet, anderson. but yes, i mean, they every one of these things, they've decided that they want to try to go all the way to the supreme court and look. and i think what, what what jeffrey's pointing out is, is extremely important here because this, this set of orders has been extremely successful, you know, for the president, as you pointed out, a number of other firms, because of this has had a chilling effect. and you've had a number of firms who've gone straight to the white house and tried to make deals. >> i think it's like hundreds of millions of dollars at this point. i forgot over. >> $1 billion. over $1 billion is what the white house has said they have been able to get what they say is free legal services, pro bono legal services, essentially for things that whatever the trump trump wants, right. with the firm's agreement. and so that's part of this. and it's also spilled over into other things. right. they not only law firms, but obviously they've gone after universities with harvard. and so other universities have been afraid to stand up to the

president because of this example. and so if you can go after these firms, the question is what else can you go after? and so that's part of why this is such an extraordinary and important ruling from judge howell. >> yeah. evan perez, thanks very much, jeff toobin as well. next, legendary filmmaker ken burns on the president's effort to choke off funds for public broadcasting. also, cnn takes you inside the mexican government's fight against drug cartels. what it looks like on the ground with soldiers up close. we'll be right back. >> my happy place. sunday at ten on cnn. >> sail through the heart of historic cities. an unforgettable scenery with viking. unpack once and get closer to iconic landmarks. local life and cultural treasures. because when you experience europe on a viking longship, you'll spend less time getting there and more time being there. viking exploring

been part of the american landscape of public and private for generations. tonight, that means public broadcasting. and once again, harvard university, which has been around longer than the country has. today, the president posted this on his social network. we are going to be taking away harvard's tax exempt status, adding, it's what they deserve. there's that coming. two weeks after the administration froze more than $2 billion in federal money to the university. and last night, he signed an executive order aimed at the corporation for public broadcasting, which is the private, nonprofit organization set up by congress to fund public television and radio. it comes a bit more than a month after congresswoman marjorie taylor greene chaired a subcommittee hearing on the subject and largely echoes her complaints. then. >> for far too long, federal taxpayers have been forced to fund biased news. this needs to come to an end. and it needs to come to an end. now. >> the president's executive order directs the corporation for public broadcasting, in part to cease direct funding to npr

and pbs, consistent with my administration's policy to ensure that federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage. now, the order goes on to demand that all funding be cut as well, that local public stations not be permitted to use any funding from the corporation for public broadcasting to pay for pbs and npr programing. now, a perfectly good case can be made, which conservatives have for decades, that taxpayers should not be funding public broadcasting or wealthy private universities, and that government should not be involved with either. but that's not what this president is doing. his words and actions make it clear he's leaning on harvard and other schools because he wants them to follow his guidelines and implement his policies. and he seems to be taking aim at public broadcasting, as his executive order suggests, because of what it puts on the air programing, which you really don't get anywhere else. targeting pbs and npr certainly fits into the kind of wider culture war he's said many times he's fighting. >> the menacing specter of left

wing repression, has been growing steadily for years and years. it's been growing, and we were stopping it very powerfully for four years, and now it's picked up at a level that nobody's ever seen before. first, they slandered americans of faith as haters and bigots. then they corrupted the media. >> now, just from that, it's not hard to figure out the president's motives toward public broadcasting. but it's not just that he's repeatedly taking action to control or constrain institutions with which he or his followers disagree, especially cultural institutions. he has his, you know, purged the kennedy center board, installed his own board members, and he's now the chairman. he's overseeing a purge of the smithsonian institution, aimed to erase parts of american history. doge has stopped all funding to the national endowment for the humanities, which funds museums and historical and cultural projects and sites, gave funding to ken burns incredible documentary series, the civil war, more than 30 years ago. and we're going to talk to ken burns in just a moment. these efforts by the administration have the potential to limit our

understanding about our country and ourselves, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the shameful. >> it was never discussed. nobody told us anything about what had happened in our own town. i remember there sort of being whispers, talking about a race riot. >> it wasn't talked about. it was deliberately covered up. we still have to contend with 120 years of silence and fear. >> that's an episode of the american experience, a remarkable series on pbs. this one about the 1897 massacre of black people in wilmington, north carolina that, as you hear, was not in history books for a long time. and it's attack on diversity and inclusion efforts. this administration has made clear they are just fine with covering up the pain in our collective past. in an executive order titled restoring truth and sanity to american history, president trump railed against anything that doesn't, and i quote, remind americans of our extraordinary heritage,

consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect union and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing. now, i've said it before, but it's worth repeating. whitewashing history that doesn't make us stronger, doesn't make us better or great. it takes strength to acknowledge our past, our mistakes, and learn from those mistakes. and yes, of course, there's plenty of programing on public television. the president might not like the award winning documentary series frontline, for instance. >> they put their faith in donald trump and he deceived them. >> i don't think by any stretch can you characterize it as bipartisan? >> the select committee laid the path down for the department of justice. >> donald trump is going to be the defendant and the candidate. it's hard to imagine how it's going to play out. >> now on frontline democracy on trial. >> that was from last year. then again, earlier this year, frontline ran an hour titled trump's comeback. and throughout its long history, done important investigative reporting on all sorts of subjects, many of them having nothing to do with politics. but even within the political realm, there's plenty of programing on conservative

viewpoints and conservative heroes. >> mr. buckley, i've noticed that whenever you appear on television, you're always seated. does this mean you can't think on your feet? >> it's very very hard to stand up carrying the the weight of what i know. >> that's from a profile in american masters, a biography series. that one was about william f buckley, by the way. the show he created, firing line, that still airs on pbs stations, and so does mr. rogers, which underscores another aspect of the fight over public media. this is not the first time an administration has targeted public television. in fact, not the first time the trump administration has. the first trump administration tried to zero out funding for it. congress said no. it survived, in part because public broadcasting throughout those decades has been able to convince lawmakers of all stripes that americans would be missing something without it. and that's true. i want to play you a clip from 1969. president richard nixon had just proposed deep cuts to the corporation for

public broadcasting, just like now. and here's a very young fred rogers, mister rogers, testifying before a senate committee hearing about that funding. $20 million at the time was the funding or about $180 million. now he's talking to senator john pastore of rhode island. >> this is what i give. i give an expression of care every day to each child to help him realize that he is unique. i end the program by saying, you've made this day a special day by just your being you. there's no person in the whole world like you, and i like you just the way you are. >> do you narrate it? >> i'm the host. yes. and i do all the puppets. and i write all the music and i write all the scripts. >> well, i'm supposed to be a pretty tough guy, and this is the first time i've had goosebumps for the last two days. >> well, i'm grateful not only for your goosebumps, but for

your interest in in our kind of communication. could i tell you the words of one of the songs, which i feel is very important? >> yes. >> this has to do with that good feeling of control, which i feel that the children need to know is there. and it starts out, what do you do with the mad that you feel? and that first line came straight from a child. i work with children doing puppets in in very personal communication with small groups. what do you do with the mad that you feel when you feel so mad you could bite? when the whole wide world seems oh so wrong and nothing you do seems very right. what do you do? do you punch a bag? do you pound some clay or some dough? do you round up friends for a game of tag or see how fast you go? it's great to be able to stop when you've

planned a thing that's wrong, and be able to do something else instead, and think, this song i can stop when i want to, can stop when i wish can stop, stop, stop anytime. and what a good feeling to feel like this and know that the feeling is really mine. know that there's something deep inside that helps us become what we can for a girl can be someday a lady and a boy can be someday a man. >> i think it's wonderful. i think it's wonderful. looks like you just earned the $20 million. >> fred rogers, 1969. and boy, could we use some of his wisdom. now, before i bring in our guest, i should mention out of transparency, i have a pbs connection. sesame street once gave me a big break. >> this is anderson cooper in

for oscar the grouch, who's on assignment at the dump. i'm here with two legendary grouch newscasters. dan rather not, and walter cronkite to discuss today's letter in the news. the letter g say hello, dan. rather not. >> i'd rather not. >> walter gaza. >> just for the record, i was not paid for that appearance. i volunteered. joining us now is pbs ceo, paula kerger and emmy award winning filmmaker ken burns, whose many documentaries including the civil war baseball prohibition, have aired on pbs over the years. he's working on a new project, the american revolution, which will premiere on pbs in november. ken, what do you say to people who don't believe taxpayer dollars should be spent to fund media or the arts at all? there's plenty of documentaries on netflix, for instance. what's the value of public broadcasting? >> well, i think it's important that we do things together as a country. the the enrichment that pbs has brought to my life, to our collective lives, is, is just undisputable. i think pbs is in the is part of the pursuit

of happiness machine. they're they're part of what makes the country what it is. like the national parks we called we subtitled our series on the national parks, america's best idea. this is this is the declaration of independence applied to broadcasting. i couldn't have made anderson any of the films. i've made nearly 40 films over the course of the last 45 years. any other place but pbs. and it's not because i couldn't go raise the money to do it elsewhere. i could, with the kind of reputation that i've developed. it's just that they wouldn't give me the time to be able to explore these subjects. the footage you're showing now on the american revolution, we spent more than nine years working on it. by the time we broadcast, it will be one month short of ten years. you don't get that kind of space anywhere else but public broadcasting. and it's it's just one of our crown jewels, like higher education that you mentioned at the beginning, like our national

parks. this is this is who we are. it puts the u.s. in the u.s. >> paula, help put this in perspective. what would a loss of federal funding mean for your organization? npr what and npr? what would the impact of these cuts be for shows like sesame street or daniel tiger's neighborhood? >> well, it would impact the shows, but what it particularly will impact is many of our stations that serve this country. we have 330 stations across the united states. many of them are in very small communities. the whole idea when lyndon johnson signed the public broadcasting act is he wanted to make sure that there would be public broadcasting in communities accessible to people, no matter what the size of those communities where your wherever you live, what your economic means, you should have access to really great content. and so for a number of our stations, ken and i have crisscrossed the country, often on behalf of pbs. we visit so many of our stations, and we see on the ground the great work we do. we talk to the people in the

communities who benefit from those stations. those stations will not stay on the air. we get about 15% of our funding from the public government, from the public funding from the government. that's 15 one 5%. that's an aggregate number for some of our stations, particularly in small communities. ken and i have both been to granite falls, minnesota. i think the federal appropriation for that station is closer to 40%. it is hard to imagine how those stations will exist without the support of the federal government. >> ken, i mentioned this executive order restoring truth and sanity to american history. and in it it says that the president basically is attacking anything that doesn't, quote, remind americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect union and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing. all of which are true things that have occurred in this country. what what what value? i mean, is there to you what is the value at looking at painful parts of our past, of acknowledging you

know, race riots or racism or what is the value of learning our past? >> you mentioned baseball as one of the films i've done. anderson, we try to be umpires calling balls and strikes. that's the true story of the game. that's the true story of the history of the united states. if you make it only one thing, you fail to present a clear picture of where we've been, where we are, and more importantly, where we may be going. we want to have and i think pbs supports this citizens and not subjects. this revolution is the story of something new under the sun. the bible said there's nothing new under the sun. something new under the sun came about in 1776, and that was the creation of the united states. and for the first time, people were citizens, not subjects. they were able to explore questions of individual liberty. our

founders thought that by being virtuous, we would earn the right of citizenship, which was the highest office in a way, in the land. and that virtue comes from lifelong learning. and that's what they called the pursuit of happiness. and i think that's what's so important about pbs, my civil war series got more than 50% of its funding from the corporation for public broadcasting and the national endowment for the humanities. i could not have made it without still the corporation for public broadcasting and other groups are a significant part of the funding of this most recent project on the american revolution. i just don't know where to go. i'll figure it out because i've been around for a while. what i'm really worried about are the new filmmakers coming up. where are they going to get it? just as paula has to be concerned about all of the stations there, many of them in rural communities that really depend not just on our children's programing, not just on the extraordinary prime time, but on continuing education. you

know, classrooms of the air crop reports, whether homeland security things, these are places. and somehow when you go up to capitol hill and you and you're being accused of of being, you know, serving only beacon hill and nob hill and the upper west side, you sort of think, i think pbs is less significant in those places than it is in all the other places of the united states. and as you pointed out, william f buckley had a show on pbs for 33 years. yeah. you know, if you sit around going, aha, got you, then you've made a huge mistake of what our responsibility is as citizens, which is to listen to all of our stories. >> ken burns, paula kerger, thank you very much. we're going to continue to follow this just ahead. what happens when amazon villagers get or villagers living in the amazon get internet access for the first time? also next, what the drug fight in mexico looks like from the military's point of view. and one cartel. >> according to the trump

labeling some suspected cartel and gang members inside or outside the u.s. as enemy combatants. the label was used after 9/11 to keep several suspected terrorists detained at the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay without charges or trial. meanwhile, president trump has put pressure on mexico's president to go after the cartels on her own turf. cnn's isabel young is in mexico with an up close look at how that effort is going. we want to warn you some of the video is graphic. >> we're with the mexican military in the state of sinaloa, the heartland of the infamous sinaloa cartel. soldiers find and burn acres of marijuana and poppies that would otherwise be turned into heroin. >> they're just looking for a place to land now, which isn't easy given that it's just hills and trees everywhere. >> but it's synthetic drugs like fentanyl and meth that are produced by the cartels in enormous quantities generate huge profits and are responsible for most overdose deaths in the u.s. they're often made in

remote rural areas. >> concentration. >> aqui los productos quimicos hay aqui se va a destruir ahora mismo. >> this is pretty tough work. i mean, they're wearing full hazmat suits. they have to wear masks because these drugs, obviously in the chemicals are very, very potent. but they're just trying to make sure that the cartels don't come back and finish making the drugs here. over a six month period, thousands of suspected cartel members have been arrested across mexico, and more than 140 tons of drugs have been seized. but the reality is, more than 1200 people have also been killed in sinaloa in the past year. hundreds more have disappeared, fueled by a vengeful war between two rival factions of the sinaloa cartel in downtown culiacan, the capital of sinaloa. the military's narrative that they are fully in control begins to

unravel. very stark reminders here of people who are missing, who have been disappeared as part of this cartel war between the two factions that's playing out right now, all very recent cases. this was last week. 23 year old went missing. >> so you cannot say if they are real. >> what do you mean? >> those wires are old? >> no, this is the post. the date here. the 22nd of march. they went missing. >> right? esto esto es una copia. it's a copy. who put this? we don't know. >> as we're talking, a soldier blocks our camera. you mean it's not verified? yeah. presumably people aren't just putting up posters for the fun of it. they're putting them up because they're missing family members, right? >> they don't know. >> what's up. you don't want us filming it? the military steer us off and invite us to film something else. but we call the number on the poster of the

missing woman. her name is vivian aispuro. her family tell us she disappeared 17 days ago. we promised to follow up on her story. but who are the men running this criminal network wreaking havoc on people living here? we part ways with the military. so we've just entered an area of the city that is still very dangerous. after weeks of trying, our contact here on the ground has managed to secure a meeting with a member of the cartel who's involved, apparently in the production of drugs. and so we're meeting him now in somewhere around here in an undisclosed location. close to us. this man is talking to us on the condition we hide his identity and location. can i pull up a chair? he says he produces fentanyl for the sinaloa cartel. how safe or dangerous is this area to be in? >> or any. >> peligrosos the mexican military making a big effort to

crack down on the drug production here. how are you responding to that and how does that impact your work? >> la forma de hacer de seguir trabajando claro en. baja escala. pero no igual como antes pero. pero se sigue sigue siendo. >> i mean according to the trump administration you are a terrorist. the cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. what do you make of that. what's your message to donald trump if he's watching this? >> buscar lo mejor para para los ruidos. estan los consumidores. pero si no vieira consumidores pues uno de pereira. >> there is a lot of violence playing out on these streets

that village. it had been there for for a year for the people there, you compare to going from a horse drawn carriage to high speed tesla in minutes. what was the reaction to this explosion of information? >> i mean, it's fair to say these villages have had some kind of knowledge or even at times, fleeting experience of the internet where they've gone to the city. but this is probably, for you and me, a bit like rental video versus netflix. it's a sea change in the availability and the volume of their access to information, and it's staggering. you can feel the calm, the silence. i mean, one of the villages, we saw the internet installed in the first time. we didn't even know if anybody was there when we first arrived. it was that isolated, that calm. and within literally minutes, as soon as this goes up on the roof and the power is installed, you see the impact of this information of people flooding around one device, looking at a sort of tiktok like app called kawaii that's very popular in brazil

with cgi people on there manipulated in some way. a staggering volume of really kind of benign at times videos. but the immediate change on the lifestyle was palpable there. people huddled around one phone. we got back a week later and it had just accentuated more time, more people, and an acute awareness of the damage it was doing. anderson. >> was there any resistance to bringing the internet to the remote village? >> yeah, i think it's really it's a it's a complex choice for them because they know they need it at times for access to better health care information, to even inform the authorities when they see poaching, illegal mining, logging that impedes upon the land in which they live and they need to survive. the frankly, we and the rest of the world need to survive as well. but they're also aware that it is ultimately changing how they live. yes, one even warned us of the physical damage of people hunched over phones. it's, as i said, benign at times, what they're seeing. but what was most fascinating to me, and i think some of this experience

was actually teaching us more about ourselves in the very online world in which we live. these communities, after a matter of weeks, sometimes months, realized they needed rules. they needed to protect children from the worst things online, and they needed to switch off. they needed to turn these dishes off at 9:00 in the morning until the evening, to provide a space for normal life to exist. and to me, that may seem obvious. now i say it, but in our normal in urban environments here in the western world, an alien concept. >> yeah. nick paton walsh, thanks so much. it's a fascinating hour. don't miss nic's report, the wired rainforest in a new episode of the whole story this sunday, 8 p.m. eastern and pacific, right here on cnn. up next, a surprising admission from prince harry in a new interview with the bbc is he loses a uk court case about funding for his security. listen to what he said about his father, king charles, who is battling cancer. >> he won't speak to me because of this security stuff. but it would be nice to. it would be

family will ver forgive me for writing a book. of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. >> but losing this case, harry said, is a sticking point. >> the only thing that i've been asking for throughout this whole process is safety. i love my country. i always have done. despite what some people in that country have done. >> max foster, cnn, london. >> i want to take a moment tonight to mention the death of someone. i, and perhaps many of you grew up watching. her name is ruth buzzi, and we learned today she has died. if you watch tv in the late 60s, 70s and 80s, chances are you remember her and maybe laughed with her. she popped up on pretty much every show. it seemed like when i was a kid, the carol burnett show, donny marie, tony orlando and dawn, the tonight show. later, she was a regular on sesame street. ruth buzzi first made it big on rowan and martin's laugh-in, a goofy, borderline hallucinogenic clown car of a sketch show. in its heyday, laugh-in was not just wildly popular, but also as subversive as broadcast television would

allow at the time. no one, though, on it, was as darkly funny as ruth buzzi. she became famous across america as gladys, the spinster who'd had enough. >> you want to see a moon? gotcha. >> it's a gotcha. >> you see the moon? gotcha. >> it was a different time. ruth buzzi died today at her texas home after a battle against alzheimer's disease. her long career included movies like freaky friday. she even starred in the original broadway cast of sweet charity. but it was gladys who was her most enduring creation. no one was safe from her handbag. not dean martin, not frank sinatra, not even muhammad ali. >> it's all your fault. and if you want. >> to make something. of it, i. >> want you to meet me out in the. parking lot and we'll have it out man to man.

>> the 1970s ruth buzzi had a big laugh and even bigger smile. hardly a big ego, though. she once said, i never took my work for granted, nor assumed i deserved more of the credit or spotlight or more pay than anyone else. i was just thrilled to drive down the hill to nbc every day. as an employed actor with a job to do. she did that job remarkably well. ruth buzzi was 88 years old. the news continues right here on cnn. >> outfront next, breaking news. trump says it's okay for the country to have a short recession. a statement from the president of the united states moments ago, as an entire industry in the u.s. is sounding an alarm about an economic emergency this hour. plus, breaking news, a federal judge handing trump a huge loss tonight. this is on the issue of targeting law firms. this ruling says is targeting of one of them is unconstitutional. and the town of elon musk, the tesla ceo, could be hours away from taking over a small town in texa
