If you only saw the social media and the media reports of what's gone on over the last five days, you would think that Los Angeles is on the verge of war.

There are 11 million people in this county, four million of which live in Los Angeles City.

We estimate that there's probably thousands of people who've engaged in legitimate protests,

let's say 4,000 people. We estimate there are hundreds of people, let's say up to maybe 400,

to use rough percentages who've engaged in this type of illegal activity. So what does that make?

That means that 99.99% of people who live in Los Angeles

City or live in Los Angeles County have not committed any illegal acts in connection with this

protest whatsoever. It's an important distinction he's making there. That's the LA County District Attorney Nathan Hockman, providing some context to the protests

across the area.

It comes as demonstrations are spreading to other U.S. cities now, and the question is,

how will the Trump administration respond?

Also ahead, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has named several new members to a crucial CDC

committee on vaccines after firing the entire group earlier this week. The question is,

where do his picks stand on vaccines themselves? And on Capitol Hill, senators are still working

through President Trump's massive tax and spending bill, but they don't appear any closer

to specific legislative cuts or

changes. The question is, can they actually still get this passed by the president's July 4th

deadline? It's way too early for this.

Good morning and welcome to way too early, the show that would never un-invite someone to its picnic.

It's not our brand of petty, but we're going to explain that one coming up in just a bit.

I'm Ali Vitale on this Thursday, June 12th, and we'll start with the news.

Protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies have now spread from Los Angeles to cities across the United States.
