tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNNW  March 16, 2024 1:00am-2:01am PDT

1:00 am
360, cnn's david >> culver, the first us television correspondent on the ground in haiti. what he is seeing with armed gangs controlling the capital and the world food program saying a third of the population now experiencing acute hunger. also tonight, the judge ruled and fulton county da fani willis decided she is staying on the trump case, but her lead prosecutor and former roman managing partner has quit. take a look, what happens now. and keep voters in a swing state. what undecided women in arizona told by randy k about the issues they're weighing and picking the next president as part of our election year series on women voters, that 53%. >> good evening. we begin tonight with haiti and cnn's david kovach, who has been trying to per days to get into the country and adjust now arrived. the country is in chaos with prime minister stepping down gangs now controlling the streets and ordinary haitians, millions of whom are going hungry, trying to dr. cnn is the first major
1:01 am
news network to make it into port-au-prince since this latest outbreak of violence, david culver joins us now from there, what is the situation like the ground? >> hey, there anderson. yeah, we landed about three hours ago. it's tens but there's also this eerie quiet that you feel as you're making your way through the streets. and we were only driving for about ten minutes or so and compared to when we were here three weeks ago, i expected to see at least some livelihood it out on the streets, some activity there were no street vendors. folks were hurrying along and what local haitian told me it's because we were getting close to curfew 06:00 and you run the risk. if you are out after curfew, not to be ticketed or cited or anything, but rather potentially two have police opened fire on you. i mean, that doesn't tell you that type of situation that this city is dealing with. and really this country has found itself and it is a crisis that they have not faced in years is unprecedented for many aspects of the city in particular. and then when you look at some of the most difficult aspects you're
1:02 am
talking about food insecurity and health care. if you break down the health care, it's 80% according to one local hospital executive of hospitals in the city that are shuttered and many of them have been ransacked. they've been looted. some of the medical workers themselves have been targeted by gang members. so they're living in fear. and then the food insecurity is a growing concern. you have officials who are saying that you've got about 1 million people who are a step away from famine. why is that? well, we experienced it just in the logistics of trying to get to where we are now. and that is you've got roadways that are blocked by gang activity depending on the hour, you have to reroute and figure out another way around. it just shows you how quickly evolving this situation is anderson and you've even got communities that have started to barricade themselves even more so than we saw three weeks ago and have created essentially self-defense brigades according to locals& our carrying guns more than i've seen on the streets here, certainly for the
1:03 am
last visit. just to make sure that gangs don't get any closer and tried to take over territory. >> so who is in control in port-au-prince? in the capital >> yeah, right now, it does feel like there are almost factions within the city, if you will. i mean, it feels like there are aspects that have contain themselves and basically protected their own communities. if you will, not only physically and putting up a defense but also just kind of operating on their own neighbors looking out for neighbors, if you will. and outside of that, there are some aspects that are able to continue just with some of the state of government infant police protection. but then you can hear it on and off at times, you'll have moments where gunfire will just erupt and it shows you that these are times that are just totally unpredictable. and so for that reason you've got people who are sealing themselves in their homes and who haven't left in the past couple of weeks, >> how difficult was it to get into the country? >> yeah. i mean, this was a
1:04 am
huge challenge and the logistics of six days waiting out and the dominican republic trying to go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape at times, of course, but that just shows you what the dominican republic and haiti officials were trying to navigate to so as to get the foreign media. and now we happen to be the first ones to get into port-au-prince, which is significant, especially after six days of trying overland crossings than trying to book certain helicopters to make our way in. and we finally were able to land about three hours ago. and this is just a sampling of our trip on how you play it at i'm going to pick out the one i would look at their logistics up this trip alone and have been incredibly challenging to say the least, they're confirming with us something that we've been working on hi your day and that is the landing zone trying to figure out where we'll touch down. it's a very dire
1:05 am
situation in port-au-prince gunshots >> to hear that >> if it is already hearing gunshots just a few seconds into stepping out of the car after arriving here, it prints that shows you the logistics of trying to get here. and again, six days to make that one helicopter ride. and as soon as it lands, a lot of the folks who are experts trying to get out for we're, of course, looking to board some of these helicopters and make their way back to the dominican republic. but those are the fortunate few anderson, of course, you've got the many haitians here who they don't have that option to leave. as far as a foreign presence in international aid. i mean, the un has tried to set up an air bridge, but right now it doesn't seem like that's in effect. and so you've got a city that's essentially cut off from anything that would allow it to stay alive at this point including food, 90% of the food that comes into this country is imported that says
1:06 am
you just how significant any sort of supply chain that's cut off if you to think about the vast majority of what's consumed here has to come in from elsewhere and supply lines so just totally blocked it's making it near a extremely dire situation. >> to >> recover or appreciate the report of be careful domestic politics now and the law, the former president already celebrating online about prosecutor nathan wade resigning from the georgia election interference case that fulton county district attorney hired him to run his moos came after the trial judge this morning gave the onetime couple of choice. either he goes or she goes fani willis in his ruling, the judge rejected defense arguments that they're former relationship was a conflict of interests. however, he did say it raised a quote significant appearance of impropriety. he also took issue what he calls da willis's quote, unprofessional manner, unquote during her testimony last month, this is some of it hi object two years getting
1:07 am
record to been intrusive into people's personal lives. you'll confuse, you think i'm on trial. these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial, you've lied in this islam, tell you which one you lied right here. thank you. lied right here. >> no, no. this is the true judge and good he is a >> as. >> we mentioned, the former president weighed end mocking. hello, ms willis, pronounces her first name and calling the judge's ruling, quote, big stuff, even though it keeps around the case more now from cnn's nick valencia vs of completing the judge, scott mcafee announcing today, the defense failed to prove fani willis financially benefited by hiring nathan wade as her >> top deputy on the georgia election subversion case against donald trump and others. but this finding is by no means an indication that the court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the district attorney's testimony during the evidentiary hearing, judge scott mcafee wrote,
1:08 am
rather it is the undersigned's opinion that georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices. mcafee also describing willis fiery testimony last month as unprofessional and intrusive into people's personal lives. you're confused. you think i'm on trial these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. >> and her january remarks at an atlanta church as legally improper oh she on play the ways card now. but no >> isn't >> it them playing the race card? when they only question the judge also saying reasonable questions exist about the timing of willis and wade's relationship. >> when did your romantic relationship with ms willis began? >> 2022 mcafee writing the district attorney, chose to continue supervising and paying wade while maintaining such a relationship, as long as wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will
1:09 am
persist. >> i don't think it's a good day for the justice system. >> defense attorney scott globin faced off against willis during the case when he represented trump, ally can chesebro, one of the four co-defendants, to take a guilty plea. >> i hope and expect that the criminal defense lawyers in this case will appeal this decision. and i both the georgia court of appeals has a different view than scott mcafee. >> she's not equipped to do the job and that case should end immediately. >> the former president's legal team vowing to fight on. we will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place. attorney steve sadow said those close to willis note the judge wasn't buying the idea that willis devised a financial scheme to enrich herself. and they're glad she could stay on the case. but now she might not be able to take the case to trial before the november election and nick valencia joins us now from atlanta. now that the judge has another, the judge has ruled neck that she can stay on the case and prosecuted. do we know more
1:10 am
about when it might actually go to trial? >> well, trump's georgia attorney is expected to appeal the decision which could lead to more delays. anderson previously before these charges are before these allegations surface chris against fani willis. she'd asked for an august trial date and she was on track for that right now, the question is, can she get it back on track before the november election? unlike the federal charges that trump faces this is the state charges have different implications because even if trump wins the 2024 election, he would not be able to pardon himself from these state charges. >> anderson, nick valencia. thanks so much. perspective now from two former federal prosecutors, jeffrey toobin, and cnn senior legal analyst elie honig also joining us is going keys who served his district attorney for the stone mountain judicial circuit into cab county, georgia jeff i mean, the the judge's opinion was a scathing rebuke of of willis, her judgment. he wrote that the reasonable questions remain about whether willis and wade testified untruthfully about the timing of their relationship. >> i mean, that's today was a very good day for donald trump.
1:11 am
this case is going nowhere. >> even if in the >> extremely unlikely event that this somehow staggers to trial in august or in the fall? think about this. there's another racketeering case in georgia where jury selection, not the trial, jury selection, has taken a year. >> this >> case is never going to trial before the election it's an embarrassment. >> all of this. >> i mean, it fani willis has hung up on, but this case is going nowhere very quickly. >> gwen, i mean, this is now the second time that willis has been a managed by a judge for showing incredibly bad judgment well, probably not surprisingly, but certainly respectfully, i disagree with mr. toobin. i do think that there is enough evidence to go forward. i think that particularly the timing in this case, while we've had 1 racketeering case, it has taken a long time to go to a jury. that's anomaly. and my 17
1:12 am
years is a state prosecutor. i've never seen it take ten or 12 months to get a jury and in the last rico case that i'm aware of, a da wilis taking to trial with 12 defendants. she was able to get a jury in about four weeks. so i think that's the precedent that we should be looking at. now it's true there are a lot of other cases and matters that may shift the timeframe, but she is unequivocally said she is ready to take this to trial. that has been her mantra since the beginning. if she had her way, this would start august 5th >> i mean, do you think what the judge said today? i'm just going to hurt her at trial. >> absolutely. i understand. so the way but characterize what fani willis got today's she survived. i don't think she won, but she survived and that's the most important practical bottom line. she's still on the case. but fani willis is credibility is in tatters in a way that i've never seen from any prosecutor. she's now been reprimanded twice. by two separate judges and the language in this opinion, you never see this.
1:13 am
i've never seen a prosecutor admonish like this by a judge ever. i mean, the judge said they're seven or eight attacks on her credibility, founded by the record, he said there are reasonable questions about whether the da testified untruthfully is uh, judges saying there's a realist the probability the district attorney got on the witness stand and committed perjury. and so i think that's going to manifest a couple of ways. one, we're all watching the public's all watching that you're jury pool. and second of all, it's going to undermine the legitimacy of this prosecution going forward, and that matters. we care about are prosecutors abiding by the rules and staying clean of conflicts like this? >> jeff, this trow would be would be televise. this is probably the only trial that it actually would be televised, so people will be actually able to watch fani willis is performance in the courtroom and the defense attorneys. and >> as far as i can tell, this trial will be conducted during the presidency of malia obama i mean, it is so far so because gwen gwen was saying she thinks that the the it was an anomaly,
1:14 am
the rico case involving young thug that lasted for ten, right. i mean okay. >> jury selection will take somewhere between a month and a year there are lots of legal motions that are still to be decided in this case, just as there are in the other cases that trump is facing. so independent of jury-selection, there is a lot still to be resolved here. there are also many more defendants in this case who also will want to be heard about issues before the trial takes place. so i think fani willis in many respects was ill-treated here. i don't think her testimony was unprofessional. that wasn't my view, but know my view doesn't matter. the judge she was ill treated by by by the defense. i think the judge was unduly harsh on her, but the situation is that this trial is a very long way from from appear going
1:15 am
forward. and that's the most important thing going. i'm wondering when you think this actually might go to trial and also the judge threw out what hasn't gotten as much attention today, but the judge throughout six of the charges in the indictment, including three against the former president earlier this week yes. >> i think one of the things we're waiting to see is whether the district attorney decides to re-invite on those charges. she has the ability to do so. >> interestingly, in that >> order, the judge also provided the option of seeking a certificate of immediate review for appeal notably, that suggestion biden was missing from the non disqualification order. today so if if it was my case, i think you'd start to look and see how strong is your case without the six charges, whether you would go forward, it does not dismiss any defendants from the case. everybody is still tied under the main charge, the rico charge in this matter. and
1:16 am
it's very easy as your guests in know, very easy to indict at the state level. i actually think the federal system has an easier route to cure deficiencies such as those that were outlined earlier this week. but she is able to go forward and re-invite if she decides to cure >> ellie also just separately in the hush money case in new york, the judge delayed the trial some 30 days. yes. so a >> letter just came out from the judge to the parties and it's clear to me that the judges taking this seriously, just so people understand what's happening here. so the federal government doj, the southern district of new york where i used to work. they ran an investigation of the whole hush money scheme and they decided not to charge donald trump when he left office. but in the course of that, they generated tens of thousands of documents, some of which may be favorable to donald trump's defense. now, trump has been trying to get those documents from the feds for a year now. and the fed's my former office has, i think, done a very poor job of disclosing those. they've played keep away,
1:17 am
they've played slowdown, and now the trump's team is just starting to get those doc and the judge said, yeah maybe it will start april 15th. he didn't commit that. it could be well after that and the you know, that the defense once they see these thousands of pages, they are going to request more time. and they're also going to make more motions which could delay the case further. >> the point is trump is entitled to these documents. he's getting them to lay now it's cost them their first trial date and could spiral. >> they didn't hand over those two prosecutors local process out really duty to do that as a prostate outrage, elie honig, adjust toobin going keys. great to have you on. thank you. coming up next the presidential race and new polling on how robert kennedy jr. and other third-party can't and needs could shape it. cnn's john king is at the magic wall for us, plus the latest on the fake photo, princess kate and her kids. and why prince harry and his wife meghan, are now facing questions for a whole different reason. more ad even the most

1:22 am
murdering him on january 6. and who got within a few dozen feet of him and his family as they were hustled away to safety. nothing about that. would not say who he'd vote for only that it would not be joe biden. he also suggested that he would not back a third-party candidate with that in mind, there's new battleground state polling that shows how competitive things are and how complicated too, because of high interests and robert kennedy jr. or other third-party options? john king breaks down the numbers for us tonight, add the magic wall. so john, this is the week that the biden and trump clinched enough delegates to become presumptive nominees. we often hear as the rematch, america doesn't want to the new numbers support that. >> yes, very much so anderson, this is the 2020 map when the third-party candidates related make that much of a difference in a minute, we'll get to 2016 when they did, but yes is the answer? but to your question, is there a great dissatisfaction out there? forgive me for turning my back. i just want to stretch this out. look at this right now at this point in 1992, ross perot was pulling about 20%. so the disaffection, the disillusionment, the search for another candidate is not quite that high, but look, robert kennedy jr. getting 10% in
1:23 am
michigan, 10% in arizona, 9% in pennsylvania add-in? jill stein is running from the green party nomination. cornell west is running, says we'll see if it gets on the balance. he says he's running as a third party candidate, justice for all i believe is what he calls his new party 17% in michigan right now, looking for an alternative, 13% in arizona, 11 12, 13% there in pennsylvania, as well so yes, yes. people are looking for other choices. those are pretty significant numbers. the question is, where does it go from here? if you think just about independence, we think about the middle of the electorate. everybody always says in a close election independent settle it, that's true. you could say it's the suburbs, but this is a key group just among independents. this is robert f. kennedy jr. 16% in michigan 25% in arizona, 21% in pennsylvania. so there's self-defined middle of the electorate. don't belong to any party they're looking for somebody else, anderson, who does a third-party candidate, robert f. kennedy jr. who does he take votes away from trump or button? >> it's a great question and i
1:24 am
would say this data does not give us a definitive answer. you will actually show you is i want through this, it can take from each candidate depending on what state we're in and what group we're talking about. but just more broadly, i want to go back to 2016. most smart people about politics will tell you if there's a lot of interest in third-party candidates in this dynamic, it benefits him donald trump, because in a lot of states, let's go to michigan 2016, he has trouble getting above 50, but he can get 247.48. so if the bar for victory drops to 47 or 46, or 45, because the third party candidates are getting votes in general, that benefits trump in general. now, let's show you more of the specifics as we come through because it's not always true. if you look at all of the voters right now, this is, these three states looking at the horse race, right? who's winning right now in a two-way race, trump is up three and michigan trump is up five with a third-party options added in. so you could say, and that's with its margin of error. it's debatable. but you could say, okay, maybe it helps trump a little bit in michigan, look at arizona, he's up 3.2 race, just trump and biden plus
1:25 am
four with third-party options. is that a little bit of a boost? let's be careful, but it's something to watch as we go forward. but look at pennsylvania trump's up to in pennsylvania in a biden trump question, when you throw in the third party candidates, it's tied. so maybe it hurts trump a little bit in pennsylvania. so it's gonna be fascinating as we go forward just to look at some of the other data in here, as you look at all of this just mentioned, among independent voters, right? where are we among independent voters? well, look at this in a two-way race among independents, trump plus four and michigan trump plus, plus five. and the third-party option is moved in maybe a little bit. biden loses a little bit in arizona plus 14 and a two-way plus ten and a third party trump, as we noted, he loses a little bit in pennsylvania plus seven two plus for the most damning piece, anderson, if your script through strip through, excuse me, within the bowels of these poles, we move this one out here and bring up this one here. this is the most damning thing i found when you look at the cross tabs and these poles, this is arizona among non-white voters in arizona. that means predominantly latinos in 2020, joe biden won this is the exit
1:26 am
polls by 20 points, by 20 points, and he just barely one arizona, right. look where we are now 38 to 35 plus three for biden plus 22 plus three, because robert kennedy jr. is getting 17%. others don't know 11%. so if you're the biden campaign, some of its anti-trump, some of his anti-biden. that's a problem. >> it's certainly complicates the work for both campaigns. >> trump does, and that's what makes it so complicated with eight months to go. historically, support for third-party candidates shrinks closer to the election. people realize they're not going to win. i need to vote for a win at pero. they'll remember got 19%. so we have to watch this and see is this traditional or is it like 1992? we've got to watch it play yeah. so look, just in arizona, this is robert f. kennedy jr. support among hispanics, latinos, 19% that mostly hertz biden, right, because that's traditionally a more democratic constituency, although there has been a little trickle back to republicans and recycles younger voters. he's getting 16%. again, your reflexes that hurts biden, right? the democrats mostly get younger voters. independence is as i
1:27 am
said, that's a bit of a draw. there are independent republican leaning independents, democratic union defense, but look at this. joe biden needs democrats in the cities, right? urban areas. robert kennedy's get 11%, but rural voters, that's traditionally you're trump base. robert kennedy is getting 13%, so both campaigns are going to have to study, that's just arizona. bring up pennsylvania to look, at it as well in these key states, absolutely critical to getting to 270 kennedy gets 6% of biden voters in pennsylvania. so if you're biden campaign said that's a problem. well, he's getting 9% of 2020 trump voters in pennsylvania, in the city's 9% in the suburbs, 7%. but again, a lot of trump voters in those rural pennsylvania counties. he's getting 10%. so the key thing is antigen both campaigns eight months, they're gonna have to study in which state is he hurting me? in which state might he and the others don't forget the others be helping me and guess what, money you think trump would spend his money just against biden. biden's just against trump. no. watch pretty soon. there'll be some ads against bobby kennedy. you can count on it. >> john king. thank you. >> we're now in the state of play. the
1:28 am
>> john just touched on in arizona, specifically, what undecided women voters there are saying about the issues that matter to them this time around. it's part of randy k is continuing election series. the 53%, which is the average proportion of women voters and presidential elections since 2000. randy's conversation came during a week that saw vice president kamala harris make a stop at a planned parenthood clinic in saint paul, minnesota, the first time is vice president has visited an abortion provider, the biden campaign is clearly looking to make reproductive rights an issue during the campaign. and what's top of mind for the women that randy talked to? >> forever >> i don't know why the hell women's reproductive rights or even a political converse amen converse ai book at the end of the day we have to do, potential presidents like you have no business up in my body
1:29 am
>> it's not only reproductive rights there now is talking about idf. what is next? i do not want anyone a government official who is a non-doctors, not part of my medical team telling me what i can and cannot do to my body or what is right for my body, how important our reproductive rights and freedoms to you in terms of choosing a candidate that's my top issue for all of you i think it's definitely on the top one or two and the timelines coming up where me and my husband wanted to start trying and i'm scared for when i start trying and something happens and if i have to make that choice left neither to die or doctors will go to jail. >> these six women are all independent voters living in the critical swing state of arizona. and they are all undecided until we brought them together in scottsdale. they'd never met though all or affiliated with the women's business organization? no women
1:30 am
can't believe i'm saying it here. like friends and family don't even know this, but i had to have a medical abortion and they were like, it is either your life like or it's this unborn baby. and to rip that away is not okay. like we are literally going back so far in history, we have come such a long way we have font such a hard battle. and so many people have died along the way. in the fact that we are going to go back to that such a joke isn't it >> which candidate do you think would do the best job with the board? >> i'm sorry, we pick on biden's >> we had to round it do i'm there isn't none of the above for is that what you want? trump has declined to rule out resuming his contentious zero tolerance policy that led to thousands of migrant children and parents to be separated at
1:31 am
the us border in 2018. why is it always separation of families? why is that the go to >> i am a child of immigrants my entire family are immigrants. my father well, there is a direct immigrant. he crossed over when he was in his 20s, but he did it the correct way. as a mexican american, i've lived here and i've known both cultures it's a struggle and then sorry, it takes me a little bit emotional sometimes because we are a country of immigrants but also what biden is doing by letting mass quantities in. >> there >> was already a murder. >> so when you hear trump's say something like, you know, he's going to do the biggest number of deportations in us history. how do you feel about that? >> it breaks my heart. i worry about the friends and the family here. i am of lighter skin tone. >> okay. no one's going to ask me for my documents or whatever. what about my father? >> he's >> very dark skinned. >> one thing that binds proposing is through executive action is having asylum officers at the border and they would decide the asylum cases, right there at the border. so
1:32 am
it wouldn't get gummed up in the courts. they would really speed things up. >> it's the immigration system. it means more border patrol agents. it means we're jalen, it more judges, more. it's overhauling the entire system, not just a wall, not just, let's add some more people that can say yes, no, yes, no, it's an entire overhaul. >> i think there should be a wall i really, really do. >> trump's legal troubles at eight criminal charges in four separate criminal cases? does any of that as you sit here still undecided, does any of that have any impact on whether you will end up supporting him? >> every person works from the government, from the private in the military, to the president, takes the oath to support and defend the concentration. >> trump doesn't do that. trump does not do that. he does not respect the laws of the nation if they get in his way, i think he's a crumbley agree and a crook and a manipulator in a bully. >> and so all of those things run through my mind is i think
1:33 am

>> i mean, how did >> these expressions of dissent in this election compared to other elections in russia, especially ones where putin has been a candidate for president >> well, in 2018, in the last presidential election, there were certainly wide-scale protests. but this time it's very different. the country is very different. i mean, russia was not involved in a full-scale war with ukraine back then, alexey navalny was still alive. there was an opposition which was repressed s, but it was still able to operate inside the country. now, the opposition has been silenced, has been a brutal campaign of repression. opposition leaders have been exiled, jailed, or in the case of alexey navalny, he's dead, he died in an arctic penal colony last month. and so the context of it is very different. it's much rarer now to see protests like this. and much riskier, and it points to the real frustrations that a simmering beneath the surface in russia will see what happens over the next couple of days. the results are expected to be announced perhaps on monday, because it's a three-day
