a lot happening across the january 6th landscape lately, including reporting that former vice president mike pence's counsel greg jacob testified last week before a federal grand jury. before jacob and marc short, who also testified last week, they're the two highest ranking officials in the former administration, who are now known to have talked. one more piece in the larger picture, which of course dominated by the fact that more than 17 million viewers watched what's been billed as the january 6th committee's season finale. and interest has certainly been high throughout. the question is whether any of it's changed any minds and whether it could change any votes in the midterms this fall and perhaps 2024. the one and only harry enton. are you seeing any change in the perception of the former president now that the hearings have concluded for now? >> one of the things i've learned covering president trump throughout his history is that the more he is in the news, the worse it is for him.

so, take a look at his net favorability rating. that's his favorable minus unfavorable and look at it since essentially march. we see march 25th, which was essentially four months ago, it was minus six points. then it's minus seven points april 25th. may 25th, minus nine points. june 25th, minus 10 points. july 25th, minus 13 points. you don't have to be a mathematician to know that's a bad trend line. and it follows everything that we know that we've seen in the past. when the president stays out of the news -- the former president stays out of the news, his numbers go up. when he gets in the news, the numbers go down. to me it's a clear trend line. >> what are you seeing among republicans in particular. >> if you look among republicans in particular, obviously the thing i think most republicans are concerned about at this point, specifically donald trump is most concerned about is whether or not he can win in 2024, right? can he win that republican nomination? and of course his main nemesis

is ron desantis, the gov nofr florida. what do we see in the trend line? if you go back from last year, what you see is that donald trump's numbers have stayed pretty steady in the national primary polls. now he's at 51%. but look at desantis' numbers. he's basically coalesced or beginning to coalesce the anti-trump vote. he's basically doubled his vote share over the last year. and this, to me, is a problem if you're the former president because it essentially says the people who aren't with trump right now perhaps will never be with him, in part perhaps because they believe he's unelectable because he's becoming more unpopular with the general electorate. >> the midterms are approaching. are you seeing trends? >> we are seeing some trends. this is, to me, interesting because to be honest with you anderson -- >> please, be honest. >> -- i'd rather be honest than not. i lie perhaps to my mother when i say, oh, yes, i ate my

vegetables. beyond that, i'm a fairly honest guy. at least i'm honest with the viewer. what we see with the race for congress is that republicans hold a lead. it's a small lead. it's down to a point. if you look to before the january 6 committee hearings, the cnn approved polls, it was essentially four points on average. i was surprised by this because i'm the type of guy that says sno one's going to watch these hearings. no one's going to change their mind. this is all about trump. but people have been willing to change their minds. and right now the republican lead has been sliced. it's truly a surprise for me. >> i understand you think the polls at this point might be underestimating the republican party. >> i do. >> that's a good question. >> so i asked. >> you ask the questions. i answer them. i'm a student of history. you know, i can look at the current poll numbers, get an idea of what's cooking. but i love to look back over time. what we see is let's tack a look at the elections since 1994 since i was -- perhaps if i stood i would be up to your

waist -- >> knee high. >> knee high. i was a young boy back then. if you look at the elections since 1994 where there was a democratic president, like we have right now, and you compare the july polls with what actually happened in the election, we see that on average the republicans outperformed their july calls and the actual result by 6 points. >> wow. >> they tend to gain from now until the election. the reason for that tends to be -- there tends to be this fade away from the president's party, this presidential penalty. and that would make sense in this particular year, right, because president biden's approval rating is stuck in the high 30s. so, if we're going to see movement, you probably see movement away from the president's party. and history suggests that's exactly what's going to happen. now, i will warn you, history isn't always prologue. history is yet to be written. what a lovely phrase that is. but -- but in my particular study of this, i would be quite surprised if republicans didn't do considerably better than the polling right now.

i was proven once wrong. as we spoke about once, perhaps i'll be proven wrong again. >> that was really good. >> i try my best. >> i appreciate it. >> yes. perspective, the ongoing sparring between former vice president pence and former president trump, first time since leaving office and fomenting an insurrection. joining us is dana bash, also "atlantic" staff writer. you heard the cooling effect the hearings may be having on the former president's favorability or having. whether the former president is going to run or not obviously is unclear. i understand you have new reporting about pence's calculations. >> his calculation, i am told by a source familiar with the thinking of the former vice president is that it doesn't matter whether his former boss, the former president, actually

runs, that that won't have an impact on whether or not he, mike pence, decides to run. having said that, you just saw what harry laid out very clearly when it comes to where the republican party is and more specifically where the former president is and how his approval ratings continue to go down, especially since what we have seen with the january 6 hearings. it's -- what i am told is that when you look at even some internal numbers for the former president, the thing that is most striking is that women in particular have fled, that he is doing -- donald trump is doing so poorly with women and that that has contributed to the unfavorable rating that you're seeing clicking up that harry just talked about. how that will be determinative not just if mike pence runs, but more importantly if donald trump

ak c actually runs, we'll see. >> mckay, we saw these dueling trump and pence rallies in arizona in donie o'sullivan's piece. is the former president have positioning himself as an alternative to trump in 2024? is there a lane for him? >> i think he's betting that there is. i'm not sure whether that's going to turn out to be a good bet. but he is clearly distancing himself from trump to a certain extent, right? he is not disowning donald trump. he's not disowning certainly donald trump's voters. but he is trying to return to his previous place in the party, which was that of a -- governor -- >> so, we've lost your audio. i'm sorry. >> in terms of the justice department's investigation, i mentioned earlier, we mentioned marc short testified in front of the grand jury, as well as pence's formal counsel, greg jacobs. that's a pretty big deal. >> it's a huge deal.

we have not been entirely sure where the department of justice investigation has been going. and that's a big understatement, i know. the fact that there is a grand jury and that, as part of that, these two very important figures not just in the trump administration but on the day of january 6, came before this grand jury -- although marc short came on cnn earlier with erin burnett and was understandably careful about what to say about what he said during the grand jury testimony -- the fact that these two figures talked is telling all we have to do is look at the kinds of things they told the january 6th committee to understand how deep their knowledge base is. and obviously it's connected to the previous connection, how

upset they were about how the former president handled himself in the days leading up to and on january 6th, given where they ak you actually physically were, with mike pence, trying to make sure he was safe. >> mckay, i think we your audio back. we were talking about pence, does he have a lane. and you have desantis, his numbers have been going up. so, does pence have a lane? >> yeah, i mean, i don't know, right? the problem for pence is that most of his political relevance in the current republican party is through his association with donald trump. now he is trying to walk this kind of tortured tight rope, where he is disowning -- saying that he lost the election -- >> we lost the election. mckay, appreciate it. dana bash as well. coming up next, what many consider the most serious

immediate legal threat the former president now faces. new reporting on one georgia prosecutor. and how electoral politics could be complicating it all. later russia fires missiles at a port in odesa just a day after reaching a deal to allow exports. plus how a retired army three star general sees the state of play five months since russia invaded.

be presented to the grand jury in the near future. the reason he's not providing live testimony is because he's the governor and it's a concession the prosecutors have given him. his testimony is important because he had direct conversations with former president donald trump after the 2020 election. trump had called kemp and was pushing him to convene a special session of the state legislature to try to get them to overturn biden's victory. trump was also pressing kemp to order an audit of the absentee ballots on those signatures. now kemp someone of the most high profile people to go in, but he won't be the last. allies of the former president, including his personal attorney rudy giuliani have been ordered to testify as soon as next month. >> and the judge blocked -- one of the 16 fake electors as part of its investigation of the former president. do we know more about that? >> this judge in fulton county disqualified the fulton county district attorney from investigating georgia state senator burt jones. the back story here is that

jones is a target of this investigation, and he's one of those fake electors. he is also running for lieutenant governor of georgia. and this is where the rub is. bonnie willis, the district attorney, hosted a fund-raiser for his opponent in that race. the judge said that that was an untenable conflict and said that willis and her office cannot investigate this senator, cannot include him in the report that the special grand jury will produce. but he said that any actions that do come up under questioning can be referred to a different district attorney. it also doesn't have an impact on the broad erin vest interrogation. 11 other fake electors are due to appear before the special grand jury this week. >> and a judge denied a request by georgia republican congressman jody hice to quash a subpoena to appear in front of the investigation. >> the federal judge there

saying she would not quash this subpoena for testimony. she said she would send it to a state judge where they can confer. we haven't heard from hice's office and whether he will appeal. this is another instance where willis is getting some testimony about some of these key players in the election. >> appreciate it. thanks. back with us again, chief legal analyst, former federal prosecutor jeffrey toobin. do you think this investigation in georgia, out of all the invest galgss that the former president is involved with, could ultimately be the most consequential? >> it certainly is the one at the moment that is most likely to lead to an indictment of the former president. if you look at how this is being structured, if you look at the infamous phone call that i think most people are familiar with, where the president trump called the secretary of state raffensperger and said, get me 11,000 votes, which really is about as clear almost a confession of corrupt intent.

>> let's play it. >> yeah, let's hear it. >> so, look, all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> he's not saying, i want a correct vote total. >> right. >> he's not saying, let's get this accurate. he's saying, just get me enough votes so i win the election. that is really very difficult to explain. and if you lock at how fani willis is approaching this case, you know, she's brought everybody in to thiss grand jur or is in the process of doing it. and, you know, she is also an elected official in a very democratic part of georgia. so, she has no real political risk by pursuing that. >> if charges were brought by her against the former

president, what happens? >> well, see, this is where the case is potentially, you know, could run into a lot of problems. georgia has a very unusual legal structure in terms of these cases, where potentially that case could be forced into federal court, which would be a very different scenario, perhaps a different set of prosecutors. also likely possible appeals of that decision to go to federal court. if she actually indicts the former president, a trial could be at least a year away. but it would be a criminal trial potentially, unless it's thrown out, but there are significant legal obstacles that she faces. however, she does appear to be determined to go forward. the current grand jury that's investigating where all these witnesses are appearing is what's called a special grand jury. it cannot issue an indictment. so, it would have to turn its evidence over to a different

grand jury that would actually vote the indictment. all of this could be quite slow, but she does seem determined to proceed. >> and you heard the report from kara scannell. a judge has quashed jody hice's attempt to -- or squashed the subpoena to appear before a grand jury. how significant is that? >> well, you know, it's good for her. the more subpoenas that are quashed, the better. one of the pending requests to quash a subpoena is from linsdsy graham, the senator who made a call in to try to stop this investigation. so, you know, every time she wins a getting someone in the grand jury, that's good. but there is a long way to go before this turns into an actual criminal case. >> the fulton county d.a. has also just said racketeering charges. where is racketeering in this? >> well, racketeering is just

another term for when you -- when a prosecutor takes a bunch of disparate crimes and combines them all into a single one. and here, you have various -- the possibility of various attempts to interfere with the georgia election, whether it's pressure on raffensperger, the secretary of state, whether it's getting rid of the u.s. attorney in atlanta, who was disappeared during this investigation. whether it's intimidating the court officials. if you recall during the january 6th hearings, one woman testified about how her life was turned upside-down by the president attacking her. if you put all those into one case, that could potentially be a racketeering case. coming up, just as russia seemed ready to show the slightest bit of mercy toward ukraine, an attack that threatens to cut off desperately needed food to the world. we'll take you to odesa

ukraine's president zelenskyy tonight is vowing to resume grain exports, despite russia attacking the port of odesa this weekend. missile strikes came just 24 hours after russia agreed to allow the safe passage of kbran through the black sea. the u.n. and others warned of a catastrophic food crisis without those shipments. the national security counsel told john kirby the attack brings back memories of russia attacking aid meant for syrians. ivan watson is part of our cnn team on the ground. ivan, what do we know about the state of the agreement after the bombing? is there still a plan in place to export grain? >> reporter: yeah, the short answer is yes. even though there is an attack on this course, but also on the part of u.n. and turkey.

all of the parties are saying, but we still want to go ahead with this, including the russians, who don't want to be seen to be holding up the export of this precious food out to global markets. so, it does look like they're going to try to move forward. they even, in fact, announced that they're working on setting up this office in istanbul, this joint center, which is supposed to help facilitate this and ensure the safety of ships going out. but there are real concerns about trust. the port of odesa is over my shoulders. and that is the port that was hit, though the russians claim they were targeting military infrastructure in that port. >> i mean, if this holds, how soon could ships start to move these products out of ukraine? >> the turks are saying, the u.n. -- again, these guys both helped mediate the agreement. they are saying as soon as

possible. there's still some logistical things, like setting up this coordination center, trying to clear mines that could be blocking the ports and blocking the waterway. and it does seem to be some disagreement about whether or not they're going to be warships escorting the cargo ships. the russian foreign minister says that russian ships will escort them. the ukrainians are saying, we're not going to allow russian ports anywhere near our water. that seems like a big detail to still try to hammer out. just to be clear, anderson, the ukrainians are exporting grain through other means. they've been ramping up shipments on the river danube on river barges and river ports there by rail and by truck across borders. but they can't get anywhere near the capacity that they could if they could load up barges and start shipping them through the black sea the way they were doing until russia invaded this country last february. >> you've been doing really

incredible reporting for the better part of five months in and out of ukraine. can you just talk about what it feels like on the ground there now in terms of where the war is at? >> you know, i'm struck by how much has changed since april when i was last year, when i think you were last year -- or you were here a little bit later anderson -- is you don't see signs of the entire population on the run. you don't see cars with the words children written on them and everybody fleeing. if anything we see many businesses open, people going to work, people going to cafes, walking around in parks with their kids. it's beautiful weather this time of year here, which either reflects that people are more comfortable with the fact that their country is at war, or they're confident that the ukrainian military will not allow russians to break through the front lines the way they did at the beginning of the war and reach their cities. and i'm talking about cities that are only 20 miles from very

active front lines, where you'll see people swimming on the beach. so, that's pretty remarkable. another difference is we are seeing how the ukrainian military is getting new weapons. i've seen combat units that are using refurbished, captured russian military vehicles, that even still say made in russia on them, that they've painted ukrainian flags on and renovated to use to fight against the russi russians. i've seen british military vehicles that have just been supplied. of course western shoulder mounted anti-tank weapons. and of course there are these u.s.-supplied himars, these kind of long-range rockets, which every ukrainian officer and politician i've talked to says has changed the battleground to some degree because it lets the ukrainians strike russian targets deep behind enemy lines.

that said, there's also this ever-present fear from these cruise missile strikes that can come any time, anywhere, at cities very far behind front lines and that kill civilians and kill children. that's a threat that everybody is living with. and yet they're kind of determined to go on with life, even with that terrible threat. >> ivan watson, odesa, appreciate it. thank you. with us now, retired general mark hertling. i'm wondering what your reaction is to where the war is. the fact that russia would strike odesa just after signing an agreement to allow grain to leave odesa just seems insane. >> it's in the criminal category, anderson, is what i would say. and what we've seen is repeated violations by russia of various treaties. across the board. every single time there is an attempt to bring some type of

response from the international community, russia has spit in the face. this time it's of the u.n. literally 24 hours after they signed the treaty that was hosted by turkey with ukraine, trying to get grain to stave off famine and starvation, they shoot missiles at the very place that grain is coming the from. so, it's just another indicator, anderson, that you just cannot trust mr. putin and the way he is conducting foreign affairs and the way he is executing this war. >> what do you see on the ground in terms of, you know, the war is happening. a lot of it is away from the cameras because of the nature of where it is, the long-range artillery. what's your take on the ebb and flow of it right now? >> yeah, my take, anderson, is in the east, in the donbas region, you're talking about a slug fest that has gone on for the last three months. ukraine has not been defeated.

russia has not been able to obtain their operational or strategic goals. they have made some tactical advances. but frankly, they have been minor. not many miles of territory gained. what you're also seeing now, as president zelenskyy has suggested, as many of us thought he would, is to open a second front. that second front is more than likely going to occur in the khe kherson obelisk. it's an area about the size of the state of maryland. the capital city of kherson, of that particular province, has about 300,000 population on a normal day. but that area bumps up against crimea, and it also maintains the road network tho the north, east, and west. if president zelenskyy gets his way and he can generate several hundred thousands new fighting forces to go into that area to

supplement and complement the resistance forces that have been going against the russians that are seemingly embedded in that country but are sustaining great casualties from local resistance forces, you're going toe s see second front. and it's going to cause the russians to be put on the horns of a dilemma about the same time that there is an inflection point in logistics. as we've said, anderson, from the start of the second phase of the russian war, the key element is who is going to be able to supply the war the best. russia is having significant problems. unbelievable dysfunction in their logistics and their supply chains. and what you just mentioned to ivan is ukraine seems to be getting more equipment, better equipment, more efficient and effective and precise equipment that help them counter all the russian supplies. and that's going to be significant. >> the head of britain's foreign service intelligence told cnn he

thinks russia could be, quote, about to run out of steam in ukraine. that's what you're talking about, the logistic inflection point. >> yeah, and we've been talking about that for a couple of weeks now. and it's at inflection point. what is going to happen? because this is a battle of logistics. who gets the supplies, and who gets the effective combat power the fastest to counter the other forces? we have not seen russia's forces, even though they are a large and well-equipped allegedly force, they have not been able to conduct operational logistics. we're seeing ukraine improve across the board in that area. they're getting counter-artillery, counterfire forces to the front lines, destroying the logistics that russia has put in place in several of these depots. and as ivan just said and as you mentioned, the himars have been a significant factor in that. when you're talking about just the small number of himars, 16 of them that can fire about 190

effective missiles per day to strike targets, which russians cannot do, you're talking about the destruction of a lot of russian equipment. >> general hertling, as always, appreciate it. indiana has become the first state to hold a special session in efforts to pass abortion rerestrictions since roe v. wad was overturned. we'll discscuss next. reds 2 cons the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the e national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression.

public debate began in indiana today on a new bill that would prevent abortion except in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother. lawmakers heard from dozens opposed to the bill, others calling for stricter abortion bills. vice president kamala harris travelled to indianapolis to speak with lawmakers ahead of that discussion. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: thousands of demonstrators swarming indiana's state capitol over a bill to ban abortion at any stage in pregnancy with exceptions for some cases of rape, incest, and threats to the life of the mother. >> judgment. >> reporter: fierce opposition coming on both sides of the issue. >> the indiana right to life mission is to protect the right to life. our opposition to this bill is because in its current state, it doesn't stack up to that mission. >> reporter: some arguing that the restrictions with indiana's

bill don't go far enough. >> i'm asking the sb-1 language be stripped and a bill be replaced with language similar to hb-182, which was a ban on abortion with no compromise and no regulation. >> others fighting for another state from denying care to women. >> the proposed legislation politicizes what should be a private decision. >> reporter: indiana is the first state to call special session to attempt to pass new laws. it leads the way for dozens of states with plans to pass similar bills. at least 12 other states have already enacted bans or attempted to or severely restricted abortion procedures by going to court for a judge's order or by using so-called trigger laws, which were designed to take effect in the event of a court reversal on roe. indiana has become a safe haven of sorts for women seeking care

they can't otherwise get. >> we're already seeing people traveling from other states coming into indiana for abortion care so far away as texas but including states like ohio and kentucky. indiana is already trying to provide care that should be legal and accessible by these people in their own states. >> reporter: last month a 10-year-old rape victim travelled to indianapolis for an abortion after her home state enacted the ban after six weeks of pregnancy. the doctor who helped the child drawing the ire of conservative media, some lawmakers, and the state's attorney general. protesting indiana's bill in an op-ed for "the washington post," she writes, people in indiana and across the nation have called me brave. but i'm not any braver than any other physician who would do the right thing when faced with a patient in need. i don't feel brave. i feel anguished, desperate, and angry. nearly 1,400 health care workers from across indiana signing two letters to lawmakers voicing

their objections. >> legislating someone else's moral decisions and religious decisions onto everyone else that comes directly into the clinics is hugely problematic for us who were trying to practice medicine. >> we are concerned that this is a harbinger of what is to come. and we are really worried about a national abortion ban. >> this for you goes well beyond indiana. >> absolutely. indiana is first but we are not going to be last. >> i understand there's a second bill under consideration to fund resources for expectant mothers. >> right. two bills in special session taken related to abortion. this is a bill that would seek to allocate about $45 million toward more resources for expectant mothers and families. it specifically names foster and adopted families. the bill is in line with arguments you've heard from some conservatives around the country that in lieu of access to abortion, states should provide greater care for moms and
