fact most lebanese worry that lebanon's corrupt and incompetent political elite will simply pocket that aide, send it to switzerland and lebanon be damned. >> thank you very much for that powerful report. and thanks very much to you all for joining us. anderson starts now. >> good evening. no president should have to do what this president did today when he spoke up in defense of the right to vote and the obligation elected officials have to graciously leave office when the voters say it's time to go. after nearly 2 1/2 centuries as a functioning democracy that should obviously be a given. sadly it's not, which is what made president biden's speech today in philadelphia so significant, the fact it was even necessary. and sadly, it is. whatever else you might think of his specific legislative agenda on voting rights, the

filibuster, even who you'd prefer to see in office. after 40 years, after month and month of lies that have corroded public faith in elections themselves it's become clear that the institutions and traditions of democracy are in need of defending. traditions, for one, such as not concocting a convoluted conspiracy theory to explain away the simple fact of losing an election. >> a big lie is just that, a big lie. [ applause ] the 2020 election is not hyperbole suggest the most examined and fullest expression of the will of the people in theistry of this nation. this should be celebrated. >> if that weren't clear enough

the president said this followed by a warning about the wave of state voter restriction laws based on that big lie. >> in america if you lose, you accept the results, you follow the constitution, you try again. you don't call facts fake and then try to bring down the american experiment just because you're unhappy. that's not statesmanship. that's not statesmanship. that's selfishness. so hear me clearly. there's an unfolding assault taking place in america today, an attempt to suppress and subvert the right to vote in fair and free elections. an assault on democracy, an assault on liberty, an assault

on who we are, who we are as americans. >> he called restrictive state voting laws enacted this year in the works in places like texas, quote, 21st century jim crow. he renewed his push for the two big pieces of legislation stalled in congress. most he kept returning to the larger theme. >> the assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat literally. i've said it before. we're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the civil war. that's not hyperbole. since the civil war. the confederates back then never breached the capitol as insurrectionists did on january 6th. i'm not saying this to alarm you. i'm saying this because you should be alarmed. >> we're also learning new details about what the former president was doing on the day the capitol was attacked.

landslide, the final days of the trump presidency, the latest from michael wolf. quoting from the book. the president though was digging in his heels. he remains singularly focused on the electoral challenge and had blinders onto everything else. i believe that was how everyone was rationalizing his total failure. at the same time no one in the white house was seeing this as the full on assault on the capitol and the nail in the coffin of the capitol administration. they were for another 90 minutes or so still seeing this as an optics issue as ivanka was putting it. it wasn't until later in the 3:00 hour trump was seeing it as people protesting the election, defending him so he would defend them to seeing them as not our people, therefore he bore no respo responsibility for them. michael wolf joins us now. thank you so much for being with us. you spoke to the former

president twice for this book on the record, i understand. you cover before the election, it's election night and through the insurrection and really up until now. talk about what was going on in the white house while what we were seeing on our tvs january 6th was pointing out. >> the important thing to remember is that there was nobody in the white house. from november 3rd onto election day, november 3rd to january 6th one of the themes was that everyone that surrounded the president in the west wing, in the campaign even his family were running for the exits. so you had by november 3rd, by saturday november 7th everyone around the president -- and let me state that. everyone, 100% of the people around the president knew he had lost the election and nothing

that he would do -- he could do would change that. >> despite what the president himself was saying all the people around him -- >> all of them. they knew he had taken a step. they've always known he was a little, you know, not like you and me. but he had taken a step further. so he was not in the present reality. everybody knew this. and everybody was trying to create enormous distance between themselves and the president. and this includes his family. so by the time you got to january 6 there was literally the white house was crickets, nobody there. >> that morning his kids had come in order to attend the rally. >> exactly. >> and you write in the book they sort of arrived with, you know, while celebrating this crazy four-year experience. >> i mean they were -- this was

v val tickitatory to them. there was no grievance, we're going to take this back, we deserve this. >> despite what don, jr. was saying at the rally on that day. >> totally. they were just you have to go through this thing. you have to say what the president expects you to say. but at the same time you live in the real world. it's only the president with rudy giuliani who is not living in the real world. >> you also write it seemed like the president had contempt for in some ways the protesters who had come to support him on january 6th. >> yeah. he's always looked at these people and saying they have tattoos, they have piercings, they dress in these costumes. i mean, donald trump is a man who wears a suit. so he sees them as, you know, these are fans.

they're like -- you see the fans are great because they do what fans do, and they jump up and down and they're emotional in a way that lends legitimacy to the act itself. but donald trump is not going to have lunch with these people. >> which is -- it makes it all the more hypocritical but also just kind of sad that all these people have traveled to washington, d.c. to, you know, support the president and believe that the president sees them and feels them and loves them. and you're saying he's -- >> well, i think it's more complicated than that. just think of the president as a performer. i mean, it is wrong to think of the president as a politician, wrong to think of the president as the president. >> you think we don't see the former president through the right lens? >> absolutely. we have tried to fit him into

this thing, as much as we disliked him, as much as we oppose him, we still see him as a politician trying to accomplish specific goals. he is not doing that. or his entire goal is to court the attention of his fan base, which he has successfully done and he does. i mean, this is one of the big mystery, the ongoing mysteries is how has he so consimately channeled this. the language he's speaking is not the language of politics. >> you write the outdoor speech january 6th, you talk about walking to the capitol with the p protesters which is in the book is something you said he ad-libbed. after this we're going to walk down and i'll be there with you. the walk wasn't in the text. the entourage heard little

anything else. the hundreds upon hundreds of trump rallies they'd been subjected to blurred into the usual blabla, but they heard that line, the walk. the we, it was figerative. that was something he said on the fly which was obviously incredibly consequential. >> very much so and very much -- i mean that whole thing about not taking him literally, which he in fact comes off the stage and his chief of staff said, hey, we can't do this. there's no security for this. and he goes, what, what are you talking about, and he said walking. and he said i didn't mean that literally. and for everyone around him it was really the big tip off was a walk, really? trump walks nowhere. so, again, whenever he speaks he's always throwing out these things. what gets the response. again, it's all to play to the

audience. >> also the vice president as we know was in a secure location in the capitol, and i mean did he even care that pence was there? >> well, he was -- i mean he was actually -- that's sort of the main background to january 6th is he's totally focused on mike pence. >> he wanted pence to overturn the election not pence's safety. >> no, he wasn't even thinking -- i mean he was still right up until the end thinking pence was going to throw out the electoral votes and install him as the president. >> because that's what giuliani was telling him even on that day. >> totally. and they had gone through session after session after session with mike pence saying i am not going to do that. even that morning he calls -- he calls pence and finds pence in the middle of pence and his people writing this statement that will come out during the president's speech saying

publicly we're not going to do this. but at that moment he is still saying you've got to do this, i know you're going to do this, do this. and he's saying it in this really mean way and, you know, insulting pence's manhood and patriotism. and yet still believing this will happen. >> rudy giuliani, i mean, you -- the way he's portrayed in the book you're saying he's drunk all the time. >> drunk all the time, absolutely. >> it's incredible the president of the united states if that's the case if he's relying on this guy he's now by your reporting he's cut himself off from. >> and the president actually sort of knows this as much as the president is in some outer space himself. he knows giuliani is drunk. he knows giuliani -- >> because the president doesn't like drinking. >> all kind of sort of focus

problems. he knows he's a mess, but that doesn't make any difference because the key thing is -- is who will say what the president wants to hear. he's always shopping for that. and at the end of the day in this situation when no one would say what the president wanted to hear except rudy. >> are you surprised that the former president spoke to you? i mean, he obviously -- didn't he threaten to see you after your first book. your first book had incredible details in it. they denied -- >> he tried to stop the publication of my book. the only time in the history of the republic that a president of the united states has tried to stop a book from being published. >> were you surprised he agreed to speak, or was it in character he wants to try to control the narrative? >> i'll tell you this. so i had been speaking to people around the president, and one of them reported to him that i was

doing this book. and what the president said was, oh, that guy gets ratings, let's see him. so, again, nothing -- there's no content here. it's just about the audience. >> he knew people would read it, people would pay attention to what you're saying. >> absolutely. and he has this belief. it's like with mike pence. mike pence tells him he's not going to do it, he's not going to do it but the president is still coming back saying you're going to do it, you're going to do it. he believes in the power of his own voice, the singular power. >> he also must know people around him will speak and are speaking to you and other reporters, so he wants to get in on that. he knows people are not loyal around him in terms of silence around him. >> it's almost -- it's really difficult to understand because in addition to that when i spoke to many people and they say, oh, well, you know, and i said the president -- i've spoken to the president. and they said, okay, let me

check with the president. and then the president would say oh, yeah, talk to him. then they'd say these horrible things about the president. so this is a disconnect at so many levels. >> some of your sourcings come under criticism in the past. there was an excerpt. liz harrington who's a new spokesperson for donald trump tweeted, quote, all these stories from the michael book are not true. wolf never asked prufl about them. if he had he would have refuted them, fake news. >> well, actually, curiously in this book knowing that i would have to go through this because this is what trump always said, i supplied a list of virtually hundreds of the details in this book, just listed them. sent this to the president's office. and they sent it back. they were very diligent. they went accurate, accurate, accurate. and in some cases they added new

details. in some cases they disputed them, and i was very careful. do i have two sources on this? now, this spokeswoman who's a new spokeswoman, she doesn't -- it's just literally the president who will say anything. that is to say the election was stolen, speaking of the big lie. he will give the little lie to this poor woman who then has to go out and say this stuff. >> i want to talk to you more about the former president's current life with mar-a-lago and we'll take a quick break. when we come back i'll have more with michael wolff. he describes the president and his life at mar-a-lago almost being looked at as a zoo animal or a newly married couple. we'll be right back. ah, there's no place like panera.

talking tonight with michael wolff about his new book "landslide, the final days of the trump presidency" just out. focuses on the defeated president's anger at his election challenges specifically directed at justice brett kavanaugh. michael writes there were so many others i could have appointed -- the president saying there are so many others i could have appointed. where would he be without me, meaning kavanaugh. who would have had him? nobody. totally disgraced, only i saved him. back with michael wolff. first of all that he's calling the guy he nominated to be on the supreme court totally disgraced, i mean it's fascinating. >> well, it's just that he lives in a quid pro quo world. and he put him on -- not only did he put him on the court which would have been enough. if i put you on the court you should be loyal to me. >> just like sessions was supposed to be his attorney general. >> exactly. but here's a guy who he felt he

rescued. because he got into trouble, he saved him. so double. he couldn't believe that at the end of the day the justice kavanaugh didn't say you won the election. >> you write about his life down in mar-a-lago, and i want to read that out. you said trump has his dinner here most evenings. he appears just as the patio has filled at which point everyone stands and applauds. often when melania is here they eat at a table roped off at wh which everyone looks at them like zoo animals. you say trump conducts most of his business in the lobby so he'll be seen. >> there's a whole set of odd things. the oddest thing is he lives in the middle of a country club. he's sort of the only resident of a country club, and cites sort of this old-fashioned kind of country club with poster

boards saying, you know, prime ribs night or italian night with accordion player or my favorite, asian night. and so in the middle of this you go into mar-a-lago and there's this big room with sort of hunting lodge or, you know, renai renaissance palazzo, this sort of themes in violent conflict here. and trump sits in the middle. and he's at these series of couches, and this is where all day long republicans from across the country come to kiss the ring. now, if you're a mar-a-lago member you can see this, you can sit in, you can hear this. >> fascinating. >> it's all on show. >> that's -- that's really -- >> the weirdest thing in the whole world. i mean, when i was -- so i was

sort of brought in there and he's sitting with i think the senator from kansas, his name i can't remember. and i'm at another couch but obviously i can hear everything. and at one point one of his young aides is looking over at me and looking over at me and he gets up and he comes over. and he says -- he says, you know, i remember when you sat on the couch in the west wing for fire and fury and i can't believe we're going to do this again. and then he takes me out to have a drink at the bar. >> based on your conversations do you think he'll run again or will he talk about it and hang it over everyone's head and make a dramatic decision one way or the other? >> you cannot predict what trump is going to do because there is no plan. there is no strategy. it just will happen in the moment. is it possible that at some big rally he thinks he's going to,

you know, get a big response by saying he's going to run for president again and that's the decision? yeah, quite perfectly possible. >> michael wolff, thank you so much. with texas democratic lawmakers fleeing the state to block action on restrictive new voting measures president biden weighs in. so does former presidential candidate beto o'rourke who joins us next. i always had a connection to my grandfather... i always wanted to learn more about him. i discovered some very interesting documents on ancestry.

last night we brought you that arrival in washington by a delegation of texas house democrats who left the state trying to prepresent republicans from what they say is broad bill restricting voting across the state. today vice president harris welcomed those texas democrats to washington declaring they had shown, quote, the courage, commitment and patriotism with their actions. as for the president in that philadelphia speech he also took a swipe at texas republicans. >> in texas, for example, republican led state legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and imperil impartial poll workers. they want voters to dive further and be able to be in a position where they want to watch them and intimidate them, to wait longer to vote, to drive a hell of a -- excuse me me, a long way to vote.

they want to make it inconvenient that they hope people don't vote at all. >> beto o'rourke has criticized those restrictions and joins me now. you tweeted president biden and democrats must show the same courage texas democrats are showing. you certainly know the push back texas democrats, they're in the minority at the statehouse. the voters have spoken in texas, and republicans are saying they're abusing the legislative process by fleeing the state. can democracy work if one side just leaves to prevent a vote? >> it's really extraordinary the courage that they have shown because as you know, anderson, not only have they left the state but they've left their families, their kids, their homes, their jobs, their source of income. and we learned today when they return to the state they face arrest for having the courage of their convictions. and though they're in the political minority, they've been able to galvanize the conscious of this country, get us focused

on this issue of voting rights, which the president today put in the most dramatic, starkest terms possible, the greatest attack on american democracy since the civil war. and i think it is those texas statehouse democrats and texas statehouse senators now who are in d.c., who are going to help us focus on this and get the job done at the end of the day. because if we don't, if we don't pass the for the people act as the president called for today, then we will lose what lincoln called the last vestable and this hope we have now is coming from texas. >> i talked to one of the leaders from texas last night who had just arrived from dulles airport, and essentially what he said they hoped to focus the attention of members of congress to get federal action to get, you know, a vote in the senate. but as you know there are not enough votes to get a democratic

sponsored voting rights bill passed in the senate. nor are there enough votes to eliminate the filibuster. so all of this talk about how texas legislators are depending on federal lawmakers to save the day, in what scenario is that actually likely? >> you know, in 1964, in the beginning of 1965 there were not enough votes to pass the voting rights act. and allegedly president johnson told dr. king and andrew young, he just didn't have the power to compel congress to pass something especially if he was asking for votes from those members of congress in the deep south in texas and georgia and mississippi. and yet because of the courage shown by every day americans including a 24-year-old john lewis crossing the edmund pettus bridge in 1965, they were able to find the presence of power to get the job down. so, anderson, i believe we do have the votes. we have 51 votes in the united states senate. and if those democratic senators

will take a page out of the book of those democratic statehouse members in texas though they're in the political minority were able to stop voter suppression ledgeilation, thain they'll be able to summon the courage and political will necessary to amend the filibuster. not abolish it but change it as it has before to allow the passage of election law matters or voting rights matters and pass the for the people act. so this is impossible until it gets done. and i think these texas statehouse democrats just made it a little more possible by their display of courage yesterday. and i hope they will stay the distance in d.c. and continue to make the case to the president who i think has more to do on this as well as those members of the senate who have the votes necessary to save american democracy at this moment of crisis. >> if democrats in the senate somehow are able to eliminate the filibuster, joe manchin and others go along, do you worry about the precedent that sets the next time republicans are in the majority?

what do you do when they start to push their agenda through via a simple majority? >> i think that's a legitimate concern, an argument that those who want to preserve the filibuster make. but if we're honest with ourselves, if mitch mcconnell becomes the majority leader in the senate at some point in the future, it's hard to believe that if democrats haven't already changed the rules of the filibuster, that he will desist from doing so. he might say, look, democrats bluff. they came perilously close to doing this. now we have power we must do it before democrats get power and do it again the next time. it's going to happen at some point sooner or later. i would rather it be on the watch of those who believe in democracy and would safeguard the right to vote by using this change in the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation. there's nothing more american and nonpartisan than making sure that every eligible one of us has a chance to cast our vote, have that vote counted and our voice heard. that's really all that senate

democrats were being asked to do at this point. it's not a lot to ask. in the context of what the president said today is the greatest attack on our democracy. if in fact it is the greatest attack we must meet it with the urgency it demands. next up, the fallout in tennessee after the state's top imnenization official says she was fired because of the vaccine misinformation and politicians who believe it. we'll have a report and the reaction coming up.

in tennessee tonight a blistering statement from the state's top immunization doctor says she was fired after getting into a dispute with her bosses about whether to vaccinate children against covid-19. she said she wrote a memo that cited tennessee supreme court law suggested some teens could get vaccinated against covid-19 without their permits permission. after her dismousal she issued a lengthy statement. in part she said, quote, each of us should be waking up every morning with one question of our minds. what can i do to protect the people of tennessee against covid-19. instead our leaders put barriers in place that put our people at risk. i've been terminated from doing my job because some of the politicians have bought into the anti-vaccine misinformation

campaign rather than taking the time to speak with the medical experts. they believe what they choose to believe rather what is factual and evidence based. and it is the people of tennessee who will suffer the consequences of the actions of the very people they put into power. cnn's martin savidge has been joining us. what more do you know about this? because i read her statement and she essentially said she was just stating what tennessee law is and it's been misrepresented and take-up up by a lot of local politicians. >> right. and this is the medical doctor en in the state of tennessee, over 30 years and upheld by the tennessee supreme court. it's referred to as the mature minor doctrine. and it says minors ages 14 to 17 are able to receive medical care in the state of tennessee without parental consent. that includes vaccinations. again, it had been doctrine in the state for 30 plus years.

she was just reminding the medical community in her statement, in that memo this practice exists. well, somebody didn't like that and they posted her memo online and the backlash from the anti-vaxers and especially from republican representatives in that state began pouring in. what they said is, look, you're usurping parental authority here. she again pointed out this is the way we've done things for 30 years in this state. she was fired. but worse than being fired, she says, there is now memos being circulated within the tennessee department of public health that is actually pulling back that department of health from encouraging or even informing young people about vaccinations. and not just the coronavirus vaccination but all vaccinations. here's more of what the doctor has to say. >> and what really concerns me is that in order to appease the legislators that were upset about this memo our leadership

at the department of health has instructed the department of health to no longer do outreach around immunizations for children of any kind. >> this could have an impact for years to come on the state of health of tennessee. and remember the vaccination rate in the state of tennessee is already very low, 38%. and two neighbors next to it, of course, are arkansas and missouri. and they're seeing a huge spike in the delta variant. this doctor was merely trying to protect the people of her state from that variant and coronavirus. she says she was fired for it. >> and as you pointed out it's not like she was going outside kindergarten class streaming i've got the vaccine, come and get it. the memo she wrote was to doctors and health officials reminding as you said the law approved by the state supreme court more than 30 years ago. it's fascinating. we'll continue to follow it. want to get perspective from dr.

peter hotez, the codirector from the center of vaccine development at the texas children's hospital, and dean at the baylor college of medicine. also the author "preventing the next pandemic, vaccine diplomacy in the time of anti-science." as a pediatrician who works in vaccine development, the state's vaccine doctor fired for she says just doing her job. and now other state officials saying, you know, don't start preplanning for flu inoculations in schools like we normally do, the hpv vaccine, don't do anything about that. >> yeah, basically what they're trying to do is shutdown the whole tennessee vaccination program. and it's a disaster for the families of tennessee especially now for covid-19. anderson, right now tennessee ranks near the bottom in terms of vaccinating adolescents 12 to 17-year-olds 20% as opposed to up to close to 70% in some of

the north eastern states. now what we've got and now because of the shutdown and outreach, what that means is that 20% number is going to more or less stall. it's not going to go up appreciably as delta accelerates and it's already in missouri and arkansas. it's now marching into tennessee. what you'll now have at the start of the school year are thousands and thousands of adles wants unnecessarily getting sick with covid-19, and now we're learning more and more about the consequences. one of the things the political right does is always point out the death rate from covid-19 among adolescents is low, and that's true. what they omit is the fact we'll still see lots ofied adolescents already hospitalized. and number two a percent will

get long haul covid. a new paper has come out, and what they've shown is that a significant percentage will actually develop brain matter -- brain degeneration as a consequence of long haul covid with an uncertain recovery time. and that's important for memory, for cognitive performance. so what you're doing is you're condemning a whole generation of adolescents to neurological injury unnecessarily. >> i just heard antic dotally from a couple of people who got vaccinated but have tested positive for the delta variant. does that mean that even if their cases are mild, they have a very strong possibility of getting the long haul covid, of having long haul symptoms? >> you know, that's a great question. i'm asked that quite a bit now. and the answer is i don't think we really understand whether break through covid in a vaccinated individual is the same in someone who's not been

infected before. and that's something that, unfortunately, we'll start to find out with delta accelerating. so the number of break through cases will be modest, but it's something we'll have to follow. but no question about it that if we could vaccinate we'd not only prevent neurological injury in those adolescents in tennessee but has an added benefit, anderson. and that is if you can vaccinate all of the adults and all of the adolescents, we know we can slow or halt transmission of covid-19. and that's what's going to happen in massachusetts and vermont and maybe parts of the west coast and elsewhere in the northeast. it's what's not going to happen in tennessee and missouri, arkansas and now it's marching into the deep south. so transmission will continue to accelerate. and what we'll see, and the ones who will also pay the price other than the unvaccinated adolescents are the little kids who depend on the asults and adolescents and get vaccinated in order to slow or halt transmission.

so it's absolutely heart breaking and beyond frustrating for a vaccine scientist like myself to see this happen. >> would you still wear a mask indoors? >> it depends on where you are. if you're in the northeast, west coast where you may successfully slow or halt transmission, it may not be necessary. but if i were indoors in places like mississippi, tennessee, arkansas right now now going into norp florida, yeah you might still want to do that because the low delta high vaccination rate continues. just ahead another arrested in connection to the assassination of haiti's president. we'll have a live report on the investigation when we come back.

the 63-year-old reportedly that has ties in florida as well as in haiti, and as authorities there announce a growing list of suspects, ten just today, we are also learning more about the growing number of florida connections to this plot, plus alleged connections to u.s. law enforcement agencies, something we reported on the broadcast last night. matt rivers has the details. >> reporter: this site has been sealed by the port-au-prince magistrate, reads the note on the door of the medical ngo, the compound where authorities say christian manuel sanone, an american, helped orchestrate the assassination of haiti's president. when police cars arrived to arrest him, they found him across the street from the ngo. authorities say he helped recruit and organize the 26 colombians and two americans that carried out the killing. . we've spoken to several

neighbors who tell us the amount of activity at this compound started to increase, and interestingly they say they saw men going from that compound to this one where sanone was. they say they were muscular like body guards with camouflage pants. there's no way to know for sure if they were these suspects. he's arguing he's innocent according to a source directly involved with the organization. cnn spoke to that source over the phone and agreed to hide his identity. sanone says he doesn't know anything about the assassination. he says he didn't know the ammunition was in the house. this is what he's said since the first day. sanone appears to split his time between south florida and haiti and has been involved for years in medical charity work. he's also been a long time

critic of the haitian government saying this in a youtube video from 2011. >> where is the leadership from haiti? nowhere to be found. you know why? because they're corrupt. >> reporter: allegedly not the only american playing a role. two more americans, seen here, have been detain in the haiti as suspects and cnn is also reporting that several other suspects in the assassination have direct ties to u.s. law enforcement as informants. the dea confirmed at least one of them worked for them in the past as an informant. >> dea operations. >> everybody back up, stand down! >> the night of the operation, you can hear a suspect shout he was working for the dea, though u.s. officials repeatedly said that was a lie. the u.s. doesn't just have connections to the crime, but its aftermath. haitians have been showing up at the u.s. embassy in port-au-prince asking for visas. some are desperate to leave an island where poverty, violence, and corruption are chronic.

the assassination, just the final straw. >> matt rivers joins us now from haiti. what are haitian police saying about other possible suspects as well as the alleged florida connection? >> reporter: ander zonk up until this afternoon, no haitian national had been listed as a suspect in this assassination. it was only foreign nationals. that changed when we got word from a government source here in port-au-prince saying ten haitian nationals, citizens of haiti have been added to the list. they are actively searching for the suspects, bringing the overall number of suspects to 39 in this case. of those ten suspects three were named publicly by haitian authorities, charged with murder, attempted murder, and armed robbery, including, anderson, a former senator here in haiti. the takeaway being, this investigation, far from over. >> matt rivers, appreciate it. thanks. next, the outpouring of
