5:03 pm
opponents react to the sudden end of a 50 year old federal constitutional right. we're in the third day of clashes in cities large and small. a crisis pregnancy center was hit by vandals who spray painted, if abortion ain't safe, you ain't safe. according to the centers web site it doesn't provide abortions or make referrals for them. this incident comes as the department of homeland security warns violence is likely to continue across the country. cnn reporters are tracking all of the latest developments tonight. let's begin with cnn at the supreme court talking with people who have come out to protest or applaud the decision. back to you. >> it has been an emotional and at times very tense day out here, outside of the supreme court. you see there protesters still here protesting at the base of the steps of the supreme court and there was a very large and at times very vocal crowd here. people on both sides of the
5:04 pm
issue. people who were for and against friday's historic ruling. we heard lt passion from both sides of the issue earlier today. >> personal opinion is i'm happy with it. one of the reasons is is it now gives each individual state the right to decide for itself what it wants the law to be regarding abortion. which is true about numerous other things. and no one complains about it. >> if you aren't outraged by the decision, you are not paying attention to what's happening in this country. you need to open your eyes and educate yourself. mat maternal mortality rates are shameful. and it's disproportionately people of color and who don't have access to resources. to take away their ability to make the decisions for themselves and to access the healthcare that they need, it's shameful and it's not what the country is about. >> the people who are speaking out against friday's supreme
5:05 pm
court ruling they decided to take this demonstration on the move. a short time ago. they left the supreme court and they marched about a mile down independence avenue. towards the white house which is where they're protesting now. the people said they want president biden to know and hear they are angry. >> i'm in los angeles. where protesters are on the third day of marches. on the streets of downtown los angeles. today's march began with speakers who shared personal stories and organizers who told this crowd to introduce themselves to one another because they believe these are the people that will be fighting side by side over the next couple of months with them. they want to prepare because they say that california will see an influx of women from other states coming to get an abortion and they believe that with money and volunteer work, they will be able to help other women coming from other states
5:06 pm
searching for an abortion here in the state of california. they say that over the next couple months they have a lot of work to do. they believe that their work begins right here on the streets. >> thank you for your reporting. joining me now, wisconsin senator. welcome to you. we all heard about the draft opinion when it was leaked a month ago. the reaction to the reality is very intense. no matter how you feel about this you probably feel a strong reaction. frankly a lot of people are surprised. even though it did leak a month early. what do you think? >> i certainly know that sentiment was shared among my colleagues, among my constituents. so many i talk to that even though we knew this was coming, never the less to wake up one morning and realize that we have gone back 50 years and in the state like wisconsin, where the criminal abortion law on the
5:07 pm
books was written in 1849. we have gone back well over a century and a half. and it is shocking when you think about all the r ramifications. the right to control their own body and make decisions about whether or when to have a family. to access healthcare. it's now stripped away. and in many ways, women are going to be second class citizens with regard to their ability to participate in the economy and again have bodily autonomy. >> what do you say to republican counter parts who feel just as strongly as you do but on the other side of the debate? there is nothing in the constitution guaranteeing abortion. that the supreme court essentially came up with this through due process nearly 50
5:08 pm
years ago and that this is about protecting the weakest in the womb and it's up to the state to decide. what do you say to them? as you hear, the argument is just as intense on that side as well. >> listen, first of all, this has been standing well accepted precedent for almost 50 years. and many of the justices that now sit on the supreme court including the three appointed by president trump during his term, talked about the standing of long standing precedent. said things were settled. and first of all there's the deception that so many feel there. beyond that, when you leave it to the states, you are saying literally that a depending on what state you were born and raised in, reside in, you have a different set of rights. i can tell you again that women
5:09 pm
in wisconsin that has the oldest criminal abortion law on the books enacted in 1849, we have been set back to a previous century. two previous centuries and it's going to be very different from state to state. and that's not how we view fundamental freedoms. >> right. i want to ask you, you brought this up that the conservative justices there has been a lot of scrutiny on what they said during the confirmation hearings with respect to roe v. wade. they didn't outrite say they would overturn it. they said that it's important precedent. and so forth and so on. do you feel as you look back on the comments that they were being misleading or deceitful? i know some democrats feel that way. joe manchin for one who voted for kavanaugh.
5:10 pm
>> i say it has been customary practice for many decades for candidates, nominees for the supreme court or other judicial seats to skirt around any direct question about how would you roul on a given set of facts or hypothetical. these justices in public meetings indicated that they had a great respect for the long standing precedent. and we have been reading a lot about what they said in private where there were note takers and staff present. again, i think the decision leaves a shaken america. it's not just about the members of the senate who sat down and feel like they were given certain indications or promises or were implied certain things. but i feel like there's a whole
5:11 pm
swath of america who is looking at this court saying they are partisan. they are, again, not standing by a great respect for precedent. >> yeah, certainly confidence in the court is at a an all time low. for the public. given clarence thomas remarks that gay marriage and right to contraception should be reconsidered. do you expect to have to fight those battles too? >> he put is very clearly where this was something that people were speculating about after the draft opinion was leaked several weeks ago. he said it very clearly that the cases that use the same reasoning, that this one does, should be reviewed again.
5:12 pm
and i would go even further to this would also impact loving vs. virginia. and contraception cases, marriage equality cases. this is far reaching in terms of its implications and i do believe that there's going to be great, first great worry about those cherished rights and freedoms being stripped away. but also as you saw, people are speaking out and preparing to vote. and it's what i have been urging everyone to think first and foremost about. use your voices and your vote. we need voters to go to the midterms and elections beyond. and look at who is standing on the side of the women's freedom and what's right. and who is standing firmly against them. and cast your votes accordingly. particularly for pro-choice democrats.
5:13 pm
>> quickly, what you say to the disaffected voter who says we did ou our job. we went in 2020 and elected a democrat president. this is what we're dealing with now. what would they go to the polls in the midterms? >> so, first of all, democracy is not a spectator sport. democracy requires people's involvement and it's not just every four years. frankly it needs to be focused on local races, statewide and national. the people who have been plotting since roe v. wade was first decided on how we're going to go about overturning it. there are folks who have been working on this for decades. they stuck with it. in many cases, one issue voters and they very much plotted this
5:14 pm
out. we have to use our voices and our votes and recognize that in order to safeguard a democracy, in order to safeguard the advancement of and going backwards, it requires constant attention. and so it's not casual voting. this is voting like our lives depend upon it. they do. >> all right. thank you very much. >> thank you. you are in the cnn "newsroom" the january 6 committee is far from done with public hearings. i spoke to two members of the committee this evening. hear what they told me about their plans up next. later, a fight breaks out at an antiabortion rally. republican state senate candidate punched his political opponent. clarence thomas wrote he wants to revisit making same sex
5:15 pm
marriage a constitutional right. in 2015 i spoke with a man at the center of the original decision. >> when you hear the president say to you that your leadership has changed the country. what is that like? >> i can't even put it in word. >> that was seven years ago, today. jim joins me live this hour to talk about the current situation. you're in the cnn "newsroom." who said only this is gogood? and thisis is bad? i'm doing it my way. meet plenity. an fda -cleared clinically proven weight management aid for adults witith a bmi of 25-40 when combined with diet and exercise. plenity is not a drug - it's made from naturally derived building blocks and helps you feel fuller and eat less. it is a prescription only treatment and is not for pregnant women or people allergic to its ingredients. talk to your doctor or visit myplenity.com to learn more. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy.
5:16 pm
biktarvy is a complete one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in ctain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you.

enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. layer by layer, witness by witness, the january 6 committee has used its first five public hearings to drive home a truly unsettling reality check. this nation was close to a coup. essentially. this past week state election officials testified how then president trump and his allies pressured them to decertify joe biden's legitimate election win. on thursday, top officials from
5:20 pm
the trump justice department described how they defied trump's increasingly maniac pressure to act on his baseless claims of voter fraud. this evening i spoke to two democrats onts committee. here's our conversation. >> where do things stand with jimmy thomas? wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas. have you heard from her? is she willing to tell about her connection to efforts to overturn the election. >> we sent her a letter asking her to come in. it was sent privately. she made a decision to share it publicly which she had every right to do. and she did say to the media that she was looking forward to coming in and talking to the committee and we take her at her word. that she will be coming in to talk to us. >> have you heard back from her? or just referring to -- >> i don't know where that is. obviously that is a negotiated the time and place between her
5:21 pm
lawyers and our staff. and i don't know the precise status of that. since she said publicly she was eager to come in, i expect that that's the truth. why would she lie and say that if she didn't mean it? >> your committee has leaked new information with what the public already knew. painting this big picture. new headlines have a emerged from every hearing. how much new information or testimony will we see in the upcoming hearings? can you give us any insight what to expect? >> there will be new things. we have new information coming in by the way. and so we need to evaluate really a very large amount of new information and see how much of it is relevant and how much isn't. >> we have been pursuing a k chronological break down of the events that took place. leading up to january 6th. and now we're getting closer to
5:22 pm
january 6. i have been working most intently on the mobilization of the mob and the domestic violent groups. the oath keepers and proud boys. and the three percenters and so on. we want to explain both of what happened with the mobilization of of violent street movement. and then how that insurrection or mob violence converged with the attempt to coerce mike pence and congress. to step out of the way so that there could be essentially a seize zur of the presidency by donald trump. >> do you think trump was
5:23 pm
treasonous? >> well, that's not a word that i have used. but i'm continuing to watch very carefully all of the evidence coming out and the hearings. treason is the only crime we have that's actually defined in the constitution. so it's a very strict proof. >> the committee final two hearings have been scheduled for this week. they have been moved to later in july. you are in the cnn "newsroom." america's 246 year history, there has never been a black woman elected as a governor. cnn looked into what's behind the struggle and what it will take to change that. we have new reporting up next.

tensions at the country's abortion protests have reached a boiling point. in rhode island, a fight broke out at an abortion rights rally there. state senate candidate jennifer was punched in the face several times. she says by a man who is running for office. against her. she was trying to deescalate the anger in the crowd when it happened. her opponent who punched her is also a police officer. he turned himself in. and he's been charged with assault and says he is no longer running for office. >> striking down roe v. wade was a major win for a conservative most notably for evangelical voters. graham pointed to one man for making that happen. >> president trump deserves a line share of credit here. he fought like a tiger to put
5:29 pm
three constitutional conservative justices on the court. stood behind kavanaugh and all of us working for the last 50 years to get this right, to have a constitutional reset. >> joining me now cnn national politics reporter. and cnn politics reporter. hi, ladies. great to see you. welcome to the show. i'll start with what polls are showing. a mirajority of americans suppo the right to abortion. would this be a losing issue for republicans in the midterms? >> well, pam, it's too early to tell. we're still a little far out from november. bedo know there was concern when the draft opinion was leaked. there was concern among some gop members that that would gin up the democratic base. also to that, there's just the issue that even though there are republicans who are for the
5:30 pm
supreme court decision, not every one of them can be for the decision. because it stems not just to abortion. it affects reproductive health of women in term of fertility treatment. that's not a party issue. that is an everyone issue. there are others issues on americans mind. including how to feed their families. high gas prices and inflation. and so those are some of the most prominent issues that may not have abortion on the forefront. come november. >> even the democratic nominee for governor in georgia, she's calling for a legislative solution to restore nationwide abortion access. let's listen. >> i think president biden should do what is within the purview of the executive. we need a legislative solution that restores the constitutional protection to women regardless of the state. state lines shouldn't determine the quality of your citizen ship in the united states. >> how is this abortion ruling
5:31 pm
changing the conversation for democrats ahead of the midterm? >> there gives democrats an issue to rally around at a time when shea sorely need it. take abrams, that's an interesting case running for governor in georgia. not california, not new york. georgia. which many argue is more of a purple state. she feels really comfortable leaning into this. we saw her briefly suspend her fund raising effort to redirect fund for reproductive justice organizations in georgia. and so what we have seen is that democrats just feel really comfortable with this. they believe that they don't have to waffle. they can lean into their value and take this issue to the voters. >> and some of the black women running for governor said they don't feel supported by the democratic party. why is that? what has been the response? >> traditionally black women haven't really been seen as viable for the executive leadership and offices like
5:32 pm
this. experts we spoke with have mentioned that, so the black women who don't feel that they are being supported, not only is because they are black women, but also because of where they are in terms of fund raising. they feel they have a lack of resources. i spoke with running in iowa, and she was talking about her struggles within her fund raising and saying they have done a lot with a little. if they can do so much more, if they had more money. that's something that black women have been seen as doing a lot. so in terms of the response from the democratic party, state party officials told us that they don't typically endorse during the primary. she said that as well. they recognize the criticism behind the support for a large white apparatus in the party. and there needs to be improvements made. they do feel that they have been behind the candidates and being able to give them the resources and some type of support:
5:33 pm
>> what is your reporting indicate? >> a really interesting case is daniel allen in massachusetts. after 15 months she dropped out. didn't make it to the democratic primary. and she actually said the issue was not the dga. they don't get involved in primaries. she felt she had resources from them in terms of advice. she didn't feel like it was fund raising or enthusiasm. it was the barrier of to entry of even getting on the ballot. she doesn't come from a traditional background of having a background in terms of running in or participating in the state legislature. previously. as many candidates do. she is actually a professor at harvard. when we think about elevating black women and republicans and democrats look to do that, sometimes they come from not traditional political background. the experiences should not be any less valued. i think that is the frustration that we routinely heard. >> such important reporting from both of you. thank you both.

and then be in the reality we are in today with roe v. wade overturned and the countrncurre? >> it is great to see you again and it is painful to realize that's only seven years ago and to hear a bit of that conversation with the president. seven years ago the world was getting better. our country was getting better and taking steps forward and this decision and what it means for women and their ability to control their own bodies and make decisions and for the lgbtq plus community and marriage it is terrifying. i feel like the country taken so many steps back ward to the past and it's basket extreme supreme court and the extreme people we have in office across the

country. >> and as you know there are so many conservatives in america who say we finally after the fight for decades we got what we wanted and exactly what they have been fighting for. how worried are you that we might see a ruling overturning the right to gay marriage now? >> i am quite concerned. that concurring opinion by justice thomas gives opponents just the language that they can use to start teeing up cases to attack those rights. i always believed that america was a country where the supreme court expanded rights and guaranteed rights and to take back a right of almost 50 years is devastating.

5:56 pm
then. why should we believe them? >> right. i know there's been scrutiny on the justices in the confirmation hearings. they didn't specifically say they wouldn't overturn roe v wade but said there's precedent and focus on that and several lawmakers felt misled by them. it's great to see you again. hope you can come back on the show soon. >> likewise. hopefully it will be for something better. >> yes. all right. thank you so much, jim. tennis legend arthur ashe made history as a black athlete. the new cnn film "citizen ashe" takes a fresh look at his impact both on and off the court. >> he had evolved from someone
5:57 pm
who was analytical to someone who became more and more about direct action. >> did you get to significant feeling that you could change things just by playing tennis? >> i'm not presumptuous enough to think i can change anything. per se. >> he wanted black south africans to see a free black man. and the possibilities that a free black man could live. >> joining us now are the directors of the film. hi. so, rex, you saw arthur play as a child and followed him closely through the career but what was it specifically about ashe that made you want to tell his story?
