reenters earth atmosphere so you're not going to get much warning. the chinese rocket isn't the only concern. the european -- this weekend hopefully it is but the european space agency says there is 129 million objects orbiting earth at a millimeter but when you travel at 35,000 miles an hour, there is danger in the skies. thanks for watching. time for anderson. welcome to a very weird night. john berman here in for anderson and we end this week possibly the last full week that liz cheney has a voice in the republican leadership with her party fully embracing the man who never won a popular vote was impeached twice and incredibly unpopular according to all polls and not only embracing him but violent rhetoric and conspiracies today, as well. this is today's gop to quote liz

cheney this week a dangerous cult of personality. just today the congresswoman that may replace cheney continued her rounds on far right media with the sort of message a congress woman with a moderate voting record has to preach in today's party. >> we need fighters. president trump is a fighter on behalf of the american people and voters want fighters to stand up for them and that's what i'm committed to do to unify the message, to earn the support of our republican colleagues and fight for hard working american families. >> now, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be a fighter in politics. it can be a good thing. it's the fight this party wants to have that is the problem. she herself in the same interview for the second day running on far right radio says she backed the arizona and we use this term loosely audit. a giant block hole of crazy that lacks any kind of transparency but pulled the republican party into its orbit despite questions

about the auditor and standards and wait until we tell you about the bamboo theory around the audit. i'm not kidding. it would be funny if it weren't dangerous. the arizona senator that pushed back needs extra security because the death threats against her are pouring in according to her press secretary. nice, huh? this is because of the big lie that's the price of entry into republican leadership, which by the way the former president tried to push in a statement about two states he lost but the statement is so crazy we're not going to show it to you. everyone is in on this thing to other big so-called fighters for the former president, two members of congress matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene are on tour right now. just a short time ago in florida they kicked off their america first tour weeks after greene had to scuttle an american first caucus to promote anglo sax

orchesand greene her name is synonymous with jewish space lasers thanks to a history of baited comments and outlandish conspiracy theories and that's where we start this broadcast, again, wel welcome to very weird friday night. randi kaye is in the villages in florida with the first on a america first tour. what did representative gaetz have to say? >> reporter: well, john, he's still talking, actually. he made a speech and marjorie taylor greene made a speech and the two of them came together and have been bashing the media in this casual conversation with the people that showed up today but this is the america first tour and i lost count how many times matt gaetz said donald trump's name as he started out. he immediately went to talk about crowd size and said the only person that could have had a crowd this large would be

donald trump. he said there are 1,000 people waiting outside. he did talk about liz cheney. he said there are a lot of angry cowgirls in wyoming at her. he spoke about voter integrity. he said that's going to be a big part of the tour but he did nod to the allegations that he's facing in terms of the alleged prostitution, sex with a 17-year-old -- >> we just seemed to lose randi kaye inside that rally where matt gaetz is currently speaking. marjorie taylor greene did, as well. our thanks to you for that. another big fight republicans want to have in the wake of the former president's election loss, voting laws. at the texas advanced a bill on new voting limits and democrats were successful in getting several of their amendments included. ed lavandera is live with the latest. why don't you go into detail about what this new law says? >> as it stands there are a

couple different versions of this bill and it is going through the legislative process of essentially reckonciling the differences but broadly speaking, what is contained in these measures is a curtailing of early voting hours, prohibitions on election officials, being able to mail out unsolicited mail in ballots. it can affect where ballot drop boxes are located in various counties and one of the provisions that is most startling to many voting rights activists is that it goes a long way in expanding the ability of partisan poll watchers and what they can and can't do at polling locations. i'm talking about partisan poll watchers being able to examine and get closer to voters as they are casting their ballot if there is concern what kind of questions are being asked or what might be going on. this is an issue the vote rights activist is pointing towards as one of the most troubling things and already democratic lawmakers

here in texas as it became clear that the house was about to pass its version of the bill this after afternoon, this is how they reacted threatening to take all of this to court. >> you have your vote. you have your majority. but guess what? i look forward to seeing you in federal court. what i know from my days of voting rights in this chamber, you may have the vote today but we are all equal in federal court. and history is on our side. intent is on our side. so please do not delete any ema emails. >> reporter: john, republicans say this is to protect the integrity of the ballot but the aclu says this is one of the worst voting restriction laws being considered across the state right now. john? >> so what happens next, ed?

does it go back to the texas senate and when might governor abbott sign this? >> reporter: they have to come to -- democrats on the house side felt they were able to tone down some of the most restrictive language but that can come right back up once the senate gets it hands on it again and it might have to go to a conference committee where the details are hammered out but the bottom line is republicans control both sides of the legislature, they have the governor's mansion. it clear this is moving toward the governor's mansion and towards the governor for signing who signalled that he would sign it but we should be crystal clear here, this is happening as democrats are fighting a phantom of wide spread voter fraud election. and republicans simply suppress voter turnout across the state especially in the bigger urban

areas that have trended democrat for the last several cycles now. >> ed lavandera for us in austin. appreciate you. for perspective on what the changes men, we speak to beto o'rourke who is considering a run for governor in texas for 2022. congressman, i know there are amendments and other steps to go through here but just generally speaking, what's the significance of this step today, where is texas headed? >> at about 3:00 a.m. this morning the texas house passed sb 7, which is an extensive voter suppression bill that would make it harder to vote in a state that's the toughest to vote in in the united states. it still has to be conferenced with a senate version of the bill but it can be as early as the next two weeks that you have final passage and it on governor greg abbott's desk for signature and then you have a state that is 43rd in the nation in voter

turnout, the toughest to vote in, a place that will be even harder especially for young people, african-americans, the disabled and the very old and those who live in big cities in texas. those are the populations targeted by this voter suppression bill. >> you know, we see obviously in congress the effect that trump's big lie is having and now we see in state after state passing these new laws, these new voter re restrictions. i wonder how deep or wide spread the former president's big lie on the election has gone in texas. >> it's pervasive throughout the country. everywhere you have republican leadership in america, you have those trafficking in the big y. we saw it in the most violent form on the 6th of january when the united states capitol was successfully stormed for the first time since the war of 1812. you see it in more than 47 state legislatures where there are 360

voter suppression bills pending to root out voter fraud that statistically does not exist in this country. but make no mistake, this is going to make it a lot harder for a lot more people to vote and now our attention and our hope turns to the federal government. we need the united states senate to pass the for the people act. it would do more than anything else to stop what's happening in georgia, what's happening in texas and kansas and arizona and so much of the rest of the country and make it far easier for eligible voters to cast a ballot. that's what we need right now. >> you may think you need that but there is no sign you have the votes in the u.s. senate to get that and you see state after state in republican control passing these new laws. there are some people that have hope for the courts but the courts have newly appointed appointees sitting on the bench now. given that, what can democrats really do? what can you really do about this? >> i really think when those

senators look what is happening in state after state to our democracy, a deck mocracy under attack as we saw on january 6th in the u.s. capitol, when they realized the gravity of the situation, they will meet this moment doing what is required by them by our country and democracy. i still think we can do that. we absolutely have to win elections going forward. this is what happens when we lose. there is a try if ifecta of republican power in texas. so 2022 is an incredibly important midterm for the party and our democracy. >> one more question, not texas based but representative of what is going on. florida governor ron desantis, when he signed the florida bill into law similar to the texas bill. he didn't do it in public, he did it in a fox news exclusive,

a fox news exclusive. what does that tell you? >> it's interesting. when you look at where the governor of georgia, brian kemp signed their voter suppression legislation, it was in a closed room with other white men under a picture of a plantation and literally an african-american legislature was dragged off in cuffs by the police for trying to witness that. you have ran desantis giving an exclusive to fox news to witness that and here in texas the legislation passed at 3:00 a.m. this morning when everyone is asleep and nobody is watching. they do not want us to know what they are doing to our democracy so it so important for us to make sure we reach people on tv through the internet and at their doors when we go to register them and explain to them what is happening to them and their ability to vote in the next election. i think that's what it will take for us to overcome it.

>> former congressman beto o'rourke, thanks for joining us this evening. >> thank you. we have rescued randi kaye. her shot is back up from the villages in florida with the latest on this rally with matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. so randi, if you can hear us, what did gaetz say? >> reporter: he said quite a bit. as i mentioned, i'm not sure where you lost me but he talked a lot about donald trump and made a nod to the allegations he's facing the allegations of prostitution and sex with a minor and he said i'm a marked man in congress and cancelled in parts of internet and he tried to make light of it given today is his birthday. he said some of the headlines will be matt gaetz has a wild party with beautiful women in the villages, which happens to be a retirement community so he tried to make light of the situation. he said donald trump is the undisputed leader of the republican party. listen to this.

>> we have never abandoned trump and he has never abandoned america. he is still fighting for us. he will continue to fight for us. and we're going to have his back when he does. >> reporter: am i tagging this or is he going to bring me in? now the two of them are on stage and they're talking quite a bit about the media. he took a page out of donald trump's book by pointing the crowd towards the media. they pointed their fingers at us and continued to bash the media throughout the night talking about leaks and lies that are spread by the media, john. >> so what about marjorie taylor greene? >> reporter: she spoke. she came out before matt gaetz did. she sounded pretty hopeful when he started they will bring hope back to america and put america first. that's the title of the tour. but then it just took about two seconds for her to start asking the crowd who the president is and everyone here of course shouted donald trump. so she was right away just spreading the big lie once

again. she told the crowd that you're being controlled by the government who wants to take away your freedoms and plans to impeach joe biden she says and stop the spread of socialism and wants to get back to america first and stop globalism. here is what she had to say. >> we are coming out strong. and we are coming out very loud and very proud, and we are coming out like we did for president trump at all these rallies because we have a message for the democrats and the fake news media. you are not going to destroy our cou country. you are not going to shame us for being proud american patriots. you are not going to put us down for loving president trump and what he did for the past four

ye years. >> usa! >> reporter: you can hear the crowd here they just stopped cheering usa. it been a love fest between matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. they have the same mission to put america first and sounds like to get donald trump reelected once again in 2024. john? >> randi kaye, appreciate it. ahead, more on the republican fight over voting laws and what one observer of the arizona audit says is a hunt for bamboo in the ballots. it's insane. and you'll definitely want to hear all about it and later, legal analysis of those new federal indictments handed down for the officers including derek chauvin involved in the death of george floyd. how his conviction may affect them all when "360" continues.

as mentioned before the break, the congresswoman whose fealty is the odds end favorite to replace republican house heard ship says she agrees with the audit in arizona the same day the office of arizona secretary of state katy hobbs that questioned the validity of the endeavor said death threats against her are quote pouring in. she has a full security detail. hobbs and the justice department raised questions about the conduct of the recount in the state's largest observing the s said one accusation is whether there is bamboo in the ballots. here is why. >> there are accusations that 40,000 ballots were flown in. >> to arizona? >> to arizona and it was stuffed into the box. okay? and it came from the southeast part of the world, asia, okay? and what they're doing is to

find out if there is bamboo in the paper. >> so we should point out he was not endorsing this accusation just explaining it. we should also point out it is freaking bonkers. some much needed perspective on all the voting fights from chris krebs, a former top cybersecurity official and partner at the krebs stamos group. man, this is something completely different. there are security flaws in the audit process itself. the justice department issued a warning the audit could be in violation of federal voting and civil rights laws. what do you make of it all? >> well, john, first, i'd be careful in characterizing this as an audit. the arizona senate, the republicans at least in the senate may want to call this an audit but in no way does it compile with standard audit practice that are performed by

election administration officials across the country. so this is not an audit. it not a recount. it is just one more performative politic play by those that are carrying on the big lie from last fall. >> so cnn is reporting tonight that arizona secretary of state katy hobbs received death threats amid her criticism of this audit, i'll put it in air quotes there. you had security concerns of your own after you vouched for the election's integrity. how worried should people be this sort of thing is happening in the united states? >> well, i think this is the tragedy or one of the many tragedies of the last several months is that we have, again, professionals that are doing their jobs, that were elected, katy, secretary hobbs was elected to do this job. this is, in fact, the second time she's received death threats and the governor has had to deploy security controls, but

it's ultimately going to have a chilling effect and i think we're already starting to see that and election officials are retiring at a historic rate and there is a legitimate question about whether we'll have enough election officials in the next cycle to actually administer elections but ultimately, again, it's a national tragedy that we have individuals that are just trying to help everyone, help us as citizens perform our most sacred duty, that's devote and they get threatened and death threats. it's down right unamerican. >> as we mentioned, one of the people behind this audit in air quotes says workers are inspecting ballots with special cameras to see if there are any traces of bamboo in them, bamboo. because of this completely baseless whack conspiracy theory 40,000 ballots were somehow smuggled to arizona from asia and because of that somehow there would be bamboo in them.

what is your reaction to that? >> it's just beyond belief, right? i mean, first off, it flat out racist. it's got to have bamboo. it insanity. more broadly, it's a continuation of the nature of the big lie and they can throw 1,000 different claims that are incoherent that make no sense whatsoever and ultimately, they're not trying to convince you that in fact there is bamboo, they're trying to confuse, they're trying to undermine confidence and so then they run back to the one person that they all believe in and that's former president trump and he can continue the narrative that it's a stolen election. this is just a continuation of really what started even years ago that this election would be rigged and that it was, you know, fraudulent ballots and all that and so we have to figure out a way to move past this and

it starts with the former guy, the former president just coming clean and admitting if it's even within his character that he lost a fight fair and square. >> chris, i was talking to the republican secretary of state from washington a few days ago who said no matter what maricop dangerous precedent. people will think they have a right to partisan recounts, these partisan audits affair elections. >> i think that's right. you know, never mind the fact that states all over the country already conduct transparent bipartisan audits both before, during and after elections and those have just been tossed by the wayside apparently in arizona. i mean, lo whahappened in votehree times and got to the same result. you know, i ink really one of my fears here and i think a number of other election

officis share it, they wl manufacture some anomaly in arizona that they're going to export to other states like georgia or michigan or wisconsin and try to conduct the same sort of, you know, whatever this is in arizona and it's just unfortunate. the big losers here above although are us the voters because what it's doing is casting a pretty long shadow overconfidence in american elections and it's going to take a long time, i think, to recover and restore confidence. >> chris krebs, appreciate your time. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks, john. up next, why a federal grand jury has indicted derek chauvin and three former minneapolis officers in connection with the death of george floyd.

a civil rights attorney and cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor with the southern district of new york. derek chauvin obviously awaiting sentencing at this point. he's in prison right now awaiting sentencing. the other officers set to stand trail already. in light of that, how significant are these federa charges? >> these charges are very significant, john. on they send a verserious messagthat the federal governmentas an interest in the death ofeorge floyd and we know that merrick garland made a commitment to pursue civil rights charges against officers to hold them accountable and this is a big step towards that commitment that the department of justice now the attorney general made and not only as you said is chauvin facing several rights violations with respect to george floyd, the justice department is looking back to 2017 for an incident involving a 14-year-old. i think what is so disturbing about the indictment involving the 14-year-old is that the

minneapolis police department obviously knew what happened to that 14-year-old boy but yet, derek chauvin was allowed to remain on the force, to remain on the street, to remain patrolling the streets of minneapolis and then we see him engage in very similar conduct as it relates to george floyd. so this is a big day in terms of the justice department sending a message that police acc accountability is the order of the day. >> elliott, we saw a lot of evidence and witnesses during the chauvin state trial. how much of that might resurface in the federal case and would you expect any sort of different evidence prevented in the sieve ri -- civil rights case? >> john, as aviva pointed out, the state charges were a combination of murder and manslaughter charges as we remember from the chauvin trial and here federally it relates to deprivation of civil rights however the bottom line factual questions are going to be similar and did derek chauvin

use excessive force and an additional question in the federal case is was there a deprivation of civil rights with respect to the other three officers, the way this is charged is they failed to intervene but failing to stop derek chauvin from putting his knee on the neck, which is interesting and a different theory than the state is using and with respect to all four officers they failed to give him medical aid. that is count three of this indictment that's also distinct from the state charges. the bottom line facts are the same but details are hard to prove. >> this idea that the violation is based on an affirmative duty to intervene is very different than what we saw in the state case. for example, in the state case the three other officers are charged with aiding and abetting meaning with helping derek chauvin commit that murder. that's not what they're charged with here. they're charged with failing to

intervene and render medical aid. that's a higher bar the feds need to clear. >> areva, what does the fact of the charges, the existence of them tell you about the merrick garland led justice department and perhaps tell you about how issues surrounding police violence will be handled going forward? >> it tells us, john, there is a big pivot away from how the justice department was run under donald trump. we know donald trump's justice department retreated from these kinds of cases. they had a policy, an affirmative policy not to intervene. they believe that somehow it was not the province of the department of justice to oversee what happened at the state level and at the local policing level. what we see under the biden department of justice andmerer mak -- merrick garland, police

department haves to be handled with federal civil rights prosecutions and we should note, john, not only are there indictments against the four officers involved in george floyd's murder, there is a complaint filed in terms of a pattern and practice investigation that will take place with respect to the minneapolis police department, as well. >> talk to me about the sequencing of the additional state trials and the appeal and the federal cases. do you think this is something the federal prosecutors will want to take to trial or is there a chance maybe for playing out? >> so a lot of moving parts here, john. the next thing that will happen is the state trial of the other three officers set for august. this changes the strategic calculations a bit for both sides. if you are on the defendant eastside now, you're thinking wow, we got to win our state cases and derek chauvin of course has been convicted and then we have to beat these federal cases. it's already hard enough for a defendant to get a not guilty verdict. a healthy majority of cases that

go to trial result in guilty verdicts and if you get convicted in trial as a defendant, you're going away for decades. there may be incentive to come to the table and say how can we plead to the charges at once? we call it a global plea deal and wrap it up and cap the top line exposure. if prosecutors look, they have to understand the case against the other three defendants won't be as strong as the case against chauvin. that's reality. prosecutors may have incentive to talk about a potential plea with the other three, as well. >> great to see both tonight. thank you so much. >> thanks. so heads up, a chunk of chinese rocket is hurdling towards earth. it only hours away from reentry. the question is where will it land, the latest next. blah tonight, i'll be eating a pork banh mi with extra jalapeños.

. there will be a lot of nervous eyes looking to the skies part of a chinese rocket as big as a ten-story building is expected to plunge down to earth as early as saturday but where? more now from ccnn. >> reporter: what goes up, must come down. where? scientists will not know the exact entree y point of the roc until it's so close it only hours away from reentry. experts say don't panic. this is not like a hollywood

blockbuster. uncontrolled space junk crashing back to earth is a growing concern. what's expected to hit earth this weekend is the empty core of a rocket that's been losing orbit since the launch that should blow up in the atmosphere but some pieces could get through like last year when the largest piece of space debris in 30 years landed in the atlantic ocean over parts of africa, remanence of a similar chinese rocket. >> the chinese have a long madge 5 b and unlike other big rockets, it litters space believing its big 20-ton core stage in orbit, american rockets, russian rockets, european rockets don't do that. >> reporter: chinese state media says the risk of it hitting a populated area are low and may fall in international waters or burn up in reentry, a rare guess because 70% of the planet is made of water. right now it has no plans to

shoot it down but with a cloud of 9,000 tons of rocket boosters, dead satellites and other hardware floating above, there are growing calls for more regulation what gets sent up to space and how it returns. >> if you think about launching thousands of objects into low earth orbit here, we need norms of behavior so everybody is playing off the same sheet of music and everybody is focused on safety of flight. we just don't have that sort of thing right now. >> reporter: until then, all eyes are on the skies this weekend with a questions of when, where and how much debris will fall still up in the air. david culvers, cnn, shanghai. >> joining us for more insight into this falling rocket is neil director of the hayden plantar and who we are and how we got here and where we're going. you heard david culver when, where and how much are the questions of this hour for the

chinese rocket. why so hard for scientists to pin this down? >> oh, because the piece of debris is not sort of a perfectly spear object and when you have something that is highly angled and highly non-aerodynamic, you have no idea especially going at the speeds that it does, you have no idea where it will ultimately land until it's kind of -- until you're close enough to the point you say i got this. until then, the tumbling object becomes very hard to predict. >> one of the things that's most interesting about the discussion here is the difference between the fact it incredkcredibly unl anyone will be hurt by this and the fact it's a non-zero chance someone could be hurt by this. explain that. >> well, so, as was noted in the graphic, more than 70% of earth's surface is water.

so you are doing good there and half of all the world's population lives in cities, hovered together around very small pockets of area on earth's surface and so much of land is uninhabited like siberia and central china and pacific south west and canada and the out back of australia. so it is true that the chances of getting hit are very low, but there is a bigger question here, is if you're going to send things up into space and you know they're going to come back, you want to have a controlled reentry, not uncontrolled reentry and it's not that hard to do. one-third of all longitude is spanned by the pacific ocean. that's the great toilet bowl of the space program. all right? you can deorbit something and land it there in the ocean and not hurt anybody and that's not what the chinese have been doing. >> why? that was my very next question.

this is an uncontrolled reentry. why is it that the chinese now have a very active space program keep designing it this way? >> i can't get inside people's heads. i don't know. it won't be the first country who had something fall back to earth in an uncontrolled way. i'm hold enough to remember sky land. that fell out of the sky in an uncontrolled way and ended up scattered if i remember correctly the australia out back and didn't quite make it into the pacific ocean. if you know in advance that you're going to have a piece of hardware that's got to come back and in this case, just imagine a gray hound bus falling out of the sky, yes, it is true we expect a lot of that to burn up but pieces within pieces and denser bits, no, they're not going to burn up and so this is part of the precautions we need to take but really, what it says is as we go into space and space becomes this domain, this international domain, we need

leased today. just 266,000 jobs were added to the u.s. economy in april. normally that might not be bad. it might even be good. but it is far, far less than the million or more jobs than economists predicted. cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house for us tonight. kaitlan, how's the white house responding to these numbers? >> reporter: president biden is saying it's all about perspective. he is talking about the deep hole that's created by the pandemic, an economic hole. president biden is saying it's going to take time to climb out of that. i think what you've heard so much from the president and his aides is it's volatility. they're hoping it's temporary, it's just a one month change, aberration in what's been going on in the trends from january, february and march. that's what they're counting on, saying it's an unpredictable time and period. that's why you saw such a

drastic drop off in what happened today and what is the expectation from economists, which is smz going to be a million jobs than the 266,000 that we got. so, they are hoping it's an aberration. president biden was saying today look at the jobs that have been created since i took office. 1.5 million jobs. that's where we're headed. we're still working on this. but he was saying it is a long road to that recovery. >> some republicans and conservative economists suggest the enhanced and action tended unemployment benefits work as a disincentive to sway people who are out of work from trying to get a new job. >> president biden pushed back on that specifically. he was calling it loose talk earlier today when he was addressing this grim jobs report. they look at the data. they don't see evidence that this is actually what's causing out of work americans to stay home. this enhanced unemployment benefit that he had extended when he signed that covid-19 relief bill in march gives people an additional $300 per

week. and they said that looking at where people are coming back into the work force and the travel and leisure industry, that is a sign they believe this is not what's causing people to stay home. and he said this is proof that people are still out there looking for work. but i do think this is posing a challenge to the white house, kind of a test of their strategy to revive the economy and what it's actually going to look like because you are hearing this from republicans and critics of this administration. but you're also hearing it from other experts, economic experts who are questioning whether or not this is something that needs to change. that includes people who are on the ground involved in this, business owners who are saying we need to come up with a solution where people can keep the enhanced unemployment benef benefits but they need to be encouraged to come back to work, keep that even if they come back to work and commit to coming back to work for the rest of the year. what the solution looks like, it remains to be seen. this is something that is under discussion at the white house. i think they're waiting to see is this a pattern or a one-off
