tv Cuomo Prime Time CNN April 7, 2021 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT
6:00 pm
adv adviser for giffords. >> kaitlan, thanks very much. and also, happy birthday. >> thank you, anderson. >> take care. the news continues. i want to hand things over to chris for "cuomo prime time." >> thanks, anderson. the embers from the attack on the capitol on january 6th still burn three months later. now, it's, well, it wasn't really that big a deal. not enough guns to be an insurrection. i don't know why the fbi called it terror. well, lawmakers are suing to make sure the truth can never be contaminated by an unjust cause. ten more lawmakers have added their names to the first civil lawsuit to hold trump legally accountable for the terror that
6:01 pm
still haunts many of them. in the suit, they each describe how they narrowly escaped the trump mob that day. and could have been killed, like five others who were. you're looking at one of them on that very day that he thought his life was going to be over. he's joined the suit, and tells us why. guess who is in tune with the democrats. a former republican speaker of the house, john boehner, writing that trump incited that insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bullshit he'd been shoveling since he lost a fair election. watching it was scary, and sad, and it should have been a wake-up call. but it wasn't.
6:02 pm
here's exhibit "a" on hate tv. >> they didn't have guns. but a lot of them had extremely dangerous ideas. they talked about the constitution, and something called their rights. neither lisa eisenhart or her son damaged property, they just walked into something that used to be called the people's house. >> how about this. with zip ties, clad in armor, charged along with his mom. just a few people from unfashionable zip codes protesting this fraud. it's just another layer on the big lie. they know 100 officers that they always hold in reverence, except when it goes against their political cause. now they don't mention them. 100 officers injured, maimed, one died. what about them? the same attackers on january
6:03 pm
6th. let's switch some facts, make them all brown people, make them almost all muslims now. he would probably be doing the show from his maine estate, in hiding. they waved the flag at that insurrection, and used it as a weapon. literally and figuratively. breaking into the capitol and breaking down the reality, trying to corrode the truth. and now trying to erode rights from minorities to vote. even the george floyd murder trial is a casualty of this corrupt cause. you watch this trial at all, you should, by the way, you should watch coverage on hate tv. you would think it was floyd who was on trial. but, no, it is the cops who held him down as he died. and we are now entering the most
6:04 pm
critical phase for both prosecution and defense in this trial. here's the question. what caused the death of george floyd? we've been watching the tapes from all angles for a week and a half. i want to show you something that again came up at trial today. we were reminded of something. the assumption is, floyd just didn't want to get in that car, right? he didn't want to be arrested. he just didn't like it. it's not true. floyd told the cops something when they were trying to force him into the car. and here it is. >> i'm not that kind of guy. i'm not that kind of guy, man. i'm going to die, man. and i just had covid. >> listen. >> dang, man. >> now, it doesn't matter if he's right about catching covid again. he had a reason. that doesn't make it okay. he still was supposed to comply.
6:05 pm
but it wasn't simple noncompliance. do you understand the distinction? it will matter to jurors, almost certainly. floyd saying, i had covid, i don't want to get it again. i'm claustrophobic. i have anxiety. these things matter in terms of what was reasonable in the situation for the officers. a key determination will be what jurors see as substantial causal factors. substantial causal factors. it is a legal term on the books in minnesota and it will make all the difference in this trial. let's bring in the better minds to weigh the arguments of both sides. elliott williams and van jones. we did have punches thrown and landed by both sides today. it's good to have you two to do this. thank you for joining me. elliott, am i right that substantial causal factor is
6:06 pm
worth learning, understanding, and thinking about if you want to process what is going to happen here? >> right. and it's a complicated term. these are terms that make total sense to us in english, but they're complicated legal terms. under the law in minnesota, it doesn't have to be the sole thing that caused an individual's death. but the substantial causal factor. it's hard to watch that video and see how chauvin's knee was not the substantial causal factor. but what the defense has been doing is putting up any number of factors, this question of drug use, did he have drugs in his system and in the police car that might have complicated the question of what caused his death. the defense doesn't have a burden, but its work is cut out for it in light of the video. but this is an important term to learn, and it's going to come up
6:07 pm
over the next couple of days. >> the jury instruction is going to be a huge battle here about how that phrase is defined, and what it could mean under these circumstances. but let's not get ahead of ourselves. what elliott just referred to, these disputes over what floyd was saying and communicating, it had a heavy role today. let's play an excerpt. >> listen to mr. floyd's voice. did you hear that? >> yes, i did. >> did it appear that mr. floyd said, i ate too many drugs? >> yes, it did. >> please, please. please, i can't breathe. >> having heard it in context, are you able to tell what mr. floyd is saying there? >> yes, i believe mr. floyd was
6:08 pm
saying i ain't do no drugs. >> so it's a little different than when you saw a portion of the video. >> yes, sir. >> relevance, van jones? >> what the defense is trying to do is to convince us that in the middle of this, he confessed to the police officers that he had taken a whole bunch of drugs that is highly unlikely. if you look at the totality of the situation, it's much more likely that he's trying to exonerate himself. i haven't done drugs, i can't breathe. he's trying to talk himself out of the situation. but they're trying to plant this doubt in the minds of the jury, that maybe what happened is, this guy had just swallowed a bunch of drugs and that is what killed him. therefore all of the misconduct from the police officers doesn't matter, because that is what killed him. to your point, this could come down literally to an article.
6:09 pm
a substantial cause, or the substantial cause. like, literally, the jury instruction is going to be fought over down to if it's the substantial cause, and you believe he confessed to taking a bunch of drugs, which i think is ridiculous. if it's a substantial cause, that is different. i thought what happened today was despicable. to take a man who was dying and struggling for his life, and try to take his words and use these words against him. no matter hawhat he said, the training says don't have your knee on his neck for nine minutes. but it's the despicable conduct on the part of the defense. taking his words and trying to twist them against him to try to get the officer off. it's ludicrous that he would say
6:10 pm
he's just taken a bunch of drugs. >> here's the other pivotal moment in terms of what floyd said and meant, elliott. >> do you remember him saying at that point, i can't breathe. >> yes. >> he was saying to the police officers at that point, i can't breathe. >> yes. >> as he was actively resisting their efforts to put him into the squad car. >> yes. >> have you ever had a person feign a physical ailment as you attempted to arrest them? >> yes. >> this has been the most effective shot by the defense thus far in the trial about something that had been damning. which was floyd repeatedly telling the cops that he was in distress. did it land for you, elliott? >> it did. but here's the thing. it defies common sense to say that somehow he's faking an ailment or whatever to avoid
6:11 pm
getting apprehended by police, when just a few minutes later, let's not focus on the nine-plus minutes of the video. there's a full 4 1/2 minutes after he stops verbalizing anything, after which chauvin still has his knee on floyd's neck. so the idea that he might have been saying i can't breathe prior, and that was an act of escalation is blown out of the water by the fact that there's nearly five minutes -- that's longer than this segment we're talking on right now. it's a long time. and not even the full length of the 9 1/2 minutes, just after he stopped making noise. yes, the defense has a number, that's their job to throw a lot at the wall and see what sticks. but that 4 1/2 minutes with a lifeless body with a knee on it
6:12 pm
completely undermines that argument. >> that is a really good point about how you establish duration and how the prosecution will play with that in their closing. especially how will they communicate, van, to people exactly what we're talking about here, which is, it's not something they did once. it's not something they had to make a split-second call. they had nothing but time. and they still never varied course. >> and the other thing i think is important to say is that the officers had been trained to deal with the situation well. this is not something that has never happened in the history of american policing that somebody didn't want to get into a car and you had to handcuff him on the ground. this happens every day. and you don't ordinarily see crowds gathering, screaming, crying, and begging. you don't ordinarily see emts begging to help.
6:13 pm
if this were some situation that nobody had ever heard of, way outside of training. we're in a submarine, we're upside-down. this is literally just basic policing that took a macabre turn. i think they're trying to throw so much dust into the eyes of the jurors, they forget what we all saw with the video. >> but the question is, it's the jurors. forget about everything else, he died, right? obviously something went wrong. because the man is dead. so if he was faking it, why is he dead? elliott, van, thank you very much for weighing in on this. you're a value to the audience. there's a figure that we got to start talking about. we can't talk about matt gaetz without talking about somebody else. somebody who is already in hot water for a lot of the same types of behave that matt gaetz
6:14 pm
is being investigated for. this man is his friend. joel greenberg. and he is in trouble. he faces nearly three dozen federal charges and has a hearing tomorrow. now, the question is, will federal authorities really put the pressure on greenberg to give them something on gaetz? would he do that? what will it mean? is there a chance that this is about more than even greenberg and gaetz? let's go to somebody who knows north florida, knows the rumors and knows the context. a journalist who knows all of what you want to know. next. prevents crab grass and feeds your lawn. all three,in just one bag. i like that. scotts turf builder triple action. it's lawn season. let's get to the yard. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy, even a

6:19 pm
matt gaetz. he won't be there, but the man who will be there is named joel greenberg. and he has real legal troubles that come with a wild story of bizarre behavior and all kinds of personal and political intrigue that has been fodder in north florida for speculation for years. and his relationship with matt gaetz is absolutely part of that story. keep in mind, greenberg was a tax collector in seminole county, a four-hour drive from gaetz's district. they were together a lot, and they weren't just bumping into each other. what could this mean, starting with tomorrow? let's get insight on the ground with jeff weiner, a reporter with the orlando sentinel. jeff, thanks for doing this. >> thanks for having me. >> let's begin at the beginning. joel greenberg, why should the audience care?
6:20 pm
>> joel greenberg, there's many answers to that question. our local audience started caring about him in 2016, when he became tax collector in seminole county. with him in the office, it was one that was constantly swirling with controversy from the time that he announced his staff would begin to openly carry firearms, to his carrying of a tax collector badge, which he used to pull over a driver. all kinds of controversies, and a lot of which that we reported on over the years. contracts handed over to friends and family members. this was always a controversy in central florida, and really only here. he was not a national figure. that began to change last year, however, when he was indicted by
6:21 pm
federal prosecutors, an indictment that has since been p replicated three more times. allegations of stalking, sex trafficking, embezzlement, wire fraud, pretty much anything you can think of. >> and when i ask people about this guy's story, and they're from florida and know north florida, they say two things to me. when i say is there any connection with matt gaetz -- absolutely. absolutely personally, absolutely. you can't say there isn't one. and secondly, we can't believe it's taken this long for this relationship and this controversy to make it into the news. why? >> you know, i think it's fair to say that greenberg and gaetz were similar figures. and also were very friendly with each other.
6:22 pm
they were seen at restaurants, bars together, on social occasions. taking selfies together and posting photos. even as greenberg was in the news locally for controversies, gaetz was in the national news for controversies. and a lot of the things that came out about him in the past few weeks were somewhat open secrets. participating in a game that involved assigning points for sexual conquests with women in tallahassee. both were always at the center of one controversy or another, and also in each other's orbit. i don't think there were any people that greenberg seemed to be closer with than matt gaetz. >> for me, i don't care what
6:23 pm
greenberg and/or gaetz did on their private time. i only care about criminality. and looking at the charging documents, it's not the redactions. i agree with you. it's the gaps in information. it seems like prosecutors believe there is more here. there are more players, and there is more behavior that matters to them. and that becomes the tricky question about matt gaetz. because can it be a coincidence that greenberg is being prosecuted for what gaetz is being investigated on? >> and i think according to a lot of the reporting, it indicates that what gaetz is being investigated for does overlap with the charges on greenberg. greenberg is accused of essentially trafficking a girl who was between 14 and 17 years
6:24 pm
o old. and using the resources of his offices to assist in that, to enable the trafficking of this girl. and it's been reported that the same girl is at the center of the gaetz investigation. and reporting about a visit that gaetz and greenberg paid to the tax collector's office on a weekend, where it's said that greenberg was producing fraudulent documents for the purpose of this alleged trafficking. the ties are clear, but there are gaps in the information in the charging documents against greenberg, and there's a lot we don't know about what federal authorities are looking into with gaetz. or how strong those allegations are. he denied everything, and he's not charged with any crime. unlike greenberg, who is charged with so many crimes.
6:25 pm
we don't know what is under the water. >> and you can indict a ham sandwich. there is no pushback. it's about what comes next, and whether or not greenberg makes it about matt gaetz as well. you'll be watching. so will i. we'll meet again. jeff weiner, thank you very much for setting the table for us. >> thanks for having me. some news on our watch. a big announcement is coming from president biden tomorrow. but we've learned what the substance of it is, tonight. executive action on gun control. gun control, one of the most polarizing issues in america, we know that. the more shootings, the more controversial it becomes. what can he do unilaterally, through executive order? and what does he need congress to do? we have a look, next.

i don't need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common sense steps that will save lives in the future. and i urge my colleagues in the house and senate to act. we can ban assault weapons and bring down these mass killings. we should do it again. >> interesting. president biden last month following the mass shootings in boulder, colorado. tomorrow, he's expected to announce his first executive actions on gun control. but we already hear what some of them are. and they will fall short of the sweeping actions he promised as a candidate. one of the big reasons for that, he can't do it by executive action, or at least he shouldn't. phil mattingly joins us now. what stands out to you in terms of what he will do, and what he can't do? >> reporter: a couple of key
6:31 pm
points in terms of what the president will announce tomorrow with the attorney general standing next to him. personnel is policy, everybody knows that. and the president will announce the person who will run the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. and david chipman, he's a former special agent, and a key player in a gun control group started by gabby giffords. he's unapologetically for tighter restrictions on guns. that's a key post, which hasn't been filled for seven years. and on the policy side, you see some of the limits the biden administration is running up against. tomorrow, he will ask the justice department to promulgate rules regarding so-called ghost
6:32 pm
guns, that can be put together piece by piece and don't have a serial number. also, stabilization braces. something you can put on a pistol to help with accuracy and stabilization. something used in the shooting in boulder, colorado. moving funds to be able to invest in communities like boulder, colorado. and the justice department will be crafting what they consider a guide post for so-called red flag laws. it will be something for states to look at as they seek to impose red flag laws. the administration wants to do more, but there's only so much they can do without congress. >> people say it's not enough. at least it's a start. and we'll see how much of it he gets to make an impact with. phil, thank you very much. all right. as i said earlier in the show, there are many people on the right, specifically the trumpy fringe, who want you to pretend that as we mark three months
6:33 pm
since the insurrection and the infamy of january 6th, it wasn't that big of a deal. they want you to believe that. ten more lawmakers say that's part of the big lie. and so they've joined a federal lawsuit against trump for the capitol terrorist insurrection. they want him held responsible. or at least liable in civil court for the terror that sent them running for their lives on january 6th. what do they think this will do? we have two house members who signed on to this to talk about why they did it and what they want, next.

6:37 pm
back to classroom learning more than teachers like me. using common sense safety measures like masks, physical distancing, and proper ventilation. safety is why we're prioritizing vaccinations for educators. because together, we all have a responsibility to do our part. and together, we will get through this, safely. do not let the attack of january 6th be watered down just to advance a political agenda. the truth matters. and the truth was clear. too often, we stop showing the footage of traumatic events. and i always tell you, this will be hard to watch. but you need to see it. i've covered enough terrible days to tell you the people who lived through it still see it when they close their eyes.
6:38 pm
i'm not overdramatizing it. but if you knew they were coming for you, and you heard it being shouted, and the cops were telling you to run this way, run that way, you would remember. set aside the fact that in this case, the people are politicians. this doesn't make you less human or more bulletproof. today, ten more members of congress signed on to a lawsuit against trump and giuliani saying they incited the attack. two of those, steve cohen and bonnie watson coleman join me now. good to see you. i wish it was for a different reason. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you. >> congressman cohen, we've talked about this a little bit before. but with the passage of time, how often do you relive the
6:39 pm
events of that day. >> i think about it every day. >> steve, i'll come back to you. representative coleman, you think about it every day. why? >> you see it on television, someone makes a comment. someone asks how am i doing, having been exposed to coronavirus. so every day, you're reminded of it to some extent. to maybe not every, every day. but quite frequently. and it's not something that you're going to forget. >> is it just that you're being reminded, or do you have hard feelings from that day? >> that's -- i don't know what you mean by hard feelings. >> pain, fear, anxiety. >> yeah. well, and anger. yes. absolutely. there's no way that you can't be
6:40 pm
affected by it from an institutional perspective, with the assault upon our democracy from a collective perspective. where you could hear the rusting and chanting from outside. and you didn't know what to expect next. my greater fears in terms of my personal security became more evident as i watched it after the fact. because i had been closeted during the majority of it. and i didn't have the benefit of anyone coming in and giving me updates. and the little bit i saw on a television in one room that i was in was mostly what was happening outside. and i just knew that whatever was happening that i could hear on the inside, that our capitol police had it under control. i just knew that.
6:41 pm
i mean, it never occurred to me that they wouldn't have it under control. >> well, it never occurred to them that they would have to take on more than 1,000 people when they weren't set up for that. representative cohen, we've talked about this before. you had said, congressman, that time was not a friend to you in terms of how you felt about this day. and what it meant to you personally, about what could have happened. how do you feel now? >> i feel the same way. you know, we just celebrated passover. passover, jewish people are instructed over two centuries to remember 2,000 years, over 2,000 years, to remember that we were in bondage and we escaped. remember that day, and to teach people about it. january 6th is a day like that. it's a day that should be remembered in america, because our democracy was at stake.
6:42 pm
it was under attack as much as pearl harbor was an attack on our country. for people to suggest that it wasn't that big of a deal. it was just some folks who were demonstrating and protesting, most of the people were good people, fine citizens going up to protest, malarkey. this was an attack on the united states constitution, they wanted to upset the electoral college and make donald trump the president, to eliminate people who stood in his way, which included his vice president and the speaker of the house. and they wanted to intimidate the congress, to support ted cruz's position, and whatever the guy's name is from missouri -- >> hawley. >> yeah. >> let me come back to the point about what is being remembered and what is being forgotten. but i want to go back to you, congressman coleman, what do you think this lawsuit will achieve?
6:43 pm
>> i pray that this lawsuit achieves accountability and consequences. i believe that this lawsuit is going to result in donald trump and giuliani and the oath keepers and the proud boys and the folks associated with them that had collaborated to the point with all of their falsification after the election of who won, with stoking people up, with planning this day on january 6th, that they're held accountable for it. i hope that we recognize through this effort also that this was an overt, intentional suppression of the minority vote. because when you think about where the votes were being challenged, they were being challenged in communities that voted for joe biden that were predominantly black and brown. so i want people to recognize the totality of what this was.
6:44 pm
this was not just an assault upon democracy, although that's a horrible experience. this was also a 2021 attempt to suppress the black vote, to harass us, to intimidate us, and to make our vote not count. >> steve, i'll give you the last word on this proposition. i believe that you -- look, i get why you're doing the lawsuit. i believe you're losing the messaging war on january 6th. the media and history won't let it be forgotten or perverted. but the republicans ignore it actively all the time. it's the first time i've seen people on the right not want it to be called a terror tattack. you got to whole network telling people it wasn't that bad. they didn't even have guns. they were just patriots. and the democrats are not loud and proud on this all the time
6:45 pm
the way you both are when we talk about it. it's not a main messaging vehicle for your party. and i don't understand why. >> i agree with you, but i'm in a minority in my caucus. the leadership wants to play everything very, very above everything, try to rise above it. and to be solemn and be sanctified and all those things. yes, it was a minority vote, and it was a way to get control of the government. what donald trump said on that day, you won't have a country if you don't go up there and fight, fight hard. when he said you won't have a country, he was saying the blacks, the jews, the minorities, the gays, they'll be in charge. and you, the white, straight, evangelicals here with me today, your country will not be yours. you will not have a country.
6:46 pm
he was telling them to go take your country back from the blacks, the jews, the gays, the different people that they do not like. and that was a call from trump, and it was racist as could be. and he was involved, in my opinion, with all these folks, roger stone was. the whole team was. and they were trying to take over. he doesn't give up, he didn't want to give up power. he liked being president. >> can i just say one thing in closing? >> yes, ma'am. >> i do think that the leadership in our caucus recognizes this was a terrorist attack. but donald trump left this government in such bad shape. with every constitution and agency broken, with laws and rules and regulations that have to be overturned. we're trying to get business done as well. if you don't hear us talking about it every day, it doesn't mean it's not on our minds, and that we're not trying to get a
6:47 pm
commission to look at this. it means that we're trying to get things back to the communities that they need, the rescue that they need from the coronavirus. the infrastructure that we need. >> i hear you. >> all these important things need to be done. but there's no in any way, shape, or form diminishing the significant insurrection that occurred on january 6th. >> understood. thank you very much to you both. and be well. >> thank you for having me.
6:51 pm
let's bring in the chief dr. sanjay gupta with a couple of quick updates. first is good to see you, brother. what do you say to people yeah i know the u.k. variant is in all 50 states now and i know it's worse for kids. i don't care, i'm over it, i want to get back to life? what do you say? >> i say this is a more transmissible, you know, variant. it's the things you could sort of get away with before you're going to have a harder time getting away with now because this virus just spreads more easily. >> but they don't know. people don't die, they just get sick and that's okay.
6:52 pm
>> right. the younger people are far less likely to get sick or obviously be hospitalized or die but you still have a significant percentage of people out there still vulnerable. we're getting so close to, you know, really coming a long way in term of actually protecting the people who are most likely to get sick but we're not there yet. what do i say? i say we're so close to the finish line if you want to use a sports metaphor. wouldn't you hate to be the guy who fumbles the ball and someone gets hurt when we're so close to the end here? that's the problem. these variants and vaccines, this is race we're talking about. we're making pretty good progress with the vaccines but we're not done yet. >> now, the battle in terms of what this virus has done to so many is the story yet to be told. we're in crisis mode. it'll come in the future, but i wanted to highlight this study because i hear about this from people all the time, not just they have long haul or whatever you want to call it, but that they don't want to talk about the fact that their head is
6:53 pm
different and that their mental health has been affected. i didn't like saying it because everybody takes shots at me on social media whenever i say i have brain fog or it gave me bouts of depression. i don't care what people say about me but i know people are worried about it and they don't want to be perceived that way and that's why i want to say early. 1 out of 3 covid sufferers from symptoms. and how we nod continue the stigmatization of it being physical and not mental? >> this has been an experience for a lot of people. we talk about some of these d diagnoses with other types as well. some people have developed near
6:54 pm
