now. >> not so fast they're mr. blackball. it's a big deal happening over in flushing meadows, don't you think? >> yes, yes it is. i'm here with you but i would've been there. of all nights why are you working tonight? you should be at the u.s. open? >> listen when the boss have i said yes, but that is serena's last night met. >> she's got more to come. i watch some of it from my office and was fantastic. we're gonna talk to all of that. you talked about it you shared a little bit ago but we got a little bit to talk about. victor, it is good to see you i'll see tomorrow evening. all right this is don lemon tonight thank you so much for tuning in. so what does he know and will he ever testify? what does he know and will he ever testify? here's what sources are telling cnn. that secret service assistant director tony ornato, left the

agency today. remember that explosive testimony from cassidy hutchinson who said or not himself told or the then president was furious when his security detail wouldn't take him to the capitol on january 6th? >> the president said something to the effect of. i am the president taking up to the capitol now. >> to which bobby responded sir we have to go back to the west wing. the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engel grabbed his arm. he said sir we need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we are going back to the west wing, we are not going to the capitol. mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby engle and when mr. ornado had recounted the story to me he had motion towards his clavicle's. we have lots more to come on that in just a moment, plus --

there is news on team trump's request for a special master to oversee the fbi's review. of the evidence seized in mar-a-lago. now the doj wants to file a response to, quote adequately address the legal and factual issues. raised by trump's team. that's two by tomorrow. and multiple people telling cnn that they've been working with the fbi since mid may. some of the classified documents in mar-a-lago to figure out whether they need to make emergency efforts to protect sources and methods that might have been exposed. in the face of all that potential damage to our national security. or potential danger to human sources. republicans are doubling down on their defense of the former president. >> if they tried to prosecute president trump from his handling classified information after his report and said it was server in her basement. they literally be rides in the

street. >> look, there is a real threat of violence. we know that. we know it because we've seen it. lindsey graham has seen it. close-up. remember how he reacted have trump supporters ran riot at the capitol. hunting lawmakers in the halls and brutally beating police? remember when he said this? he said this just hours after that happened. while they were still cleaning up the scene of our democracy. >> trump now we've had a heck of a journey. i hated to end this way. oh my god, i hate it. but my point of view he's been a consequential president. but today, first thing you'll see all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> you know he was right then, he really was. enough is enough. >> but the threat to our democracy is far from over. and then there's the president joe biden. the president had to make a

primetime speech on thursday. if we do from philadelphia. a speech and official tells cnn will be about, quote, the progress we have made as a nation to protect our democracy. but how our rights and freedoms are still under attack? stay tuned, that address will come on thursday, we will carry it for you here on cnn and report on. it straight to cnn's whitney wild now. she's a law enforcement correspondent. whitney, good evening to you. or not, a tornado, he became a key source in the january six committee to pursue following hutchinson's bombshell testimony. what more you learning about his departure? >> what's he is telling us is that he is not going to work for the former president. he's not going to work for any of the former presidents organizations. he declined to comment on who his next employer might be. further down, he's telling us that this was something that have been in the works. he was working on a retirement plan for about a year prior. he's been with the secret service for 25 years.

here's a statement that he gave us earlier tonight. i did retire today to pursue a career in the private sector. again, i retired from the secret service after more than 25 years of faithful service to my country. including serving the past five presidents. i long plants retire, and i've been planning the transition for more than a year. but, don, it is really worth noting that the timing here is very conspicuous. i, mean this is almost two months to the day with catches the hudson made this explosive testimony. it is worth noting though, that he had testified to the house select committee prior to that testimony. but certainly he became a central figure, a more visible figure, after the testimony. and some of the house select committee has made very clear they want to hear from again. members of that committee had pointed out that he had retained private counsel. our understanding was that it is not exactly clear where those discussions stand between tony ornato back in for another testament to shore up some of the details by cassidy hutchinson's testimony. >> as big a little bit deeper

here. talk more about ornato make this unprecedented move in the agency to political polls in the trump administration. i mean, the implications of that. -- >> don i think i lost, you i'm sorry. but i think the other question i want to ask, me and i'm hoping i'm hearing this right. i'm sorry. >> can you hear me now with a? >> i think you know the big question now is about this unprecedented move he had made from secret service to the white house. this was at the time not a huge story. but it did have very serious ramifications along. run it is really in hindsight the see why the implications of such a dramatic move are so significant. because. you could really blur the line between a political entity and what was supposed to be in a political entity. when that happened it raised many more questions about specific security in that were made. because people began to question especially people who are highly critical in general. of the secret service.

and some concerns about, you know, really deep loyalty to the former president. whether certain decisions were made because they're in the best interest of safety. or if they're in the best interest of the former presidents political agenda. those are really long term implications of that. really impressive vented both. >> when you can't hear me, but that's a pro. she answered the question. it was exactly what's on my mind. thank you whitney, i appreciated, i'll see you soon, but by. >> now we'll bring in our cnn contributor and former nixon white house counsel, john dean. also cnn political commentator and trump white house director strategic communication, alyssa farah griffin. let's see. whitney was able to figure out but i was quick to ask. do you guys have any idea when i'm going to ask? >> of course we know. >> good evening everyone good to see both of you. john, i'm glad to start with the. the secret service has faced plenty of questions about his actions over the course of january six investigations. is it significant that ornato is leaving the agency?

is this a big deal? >> i think it is a big. deal he was pressed, he was being pressed to appear and testify before the january six committee. i suspect he has given interview to the fbi which may or may not be factual. so, i think, he is feeling the pinch of being in a political spot when he was a part of an agency that is supposed to, as you, said beyond political. to be deputy director of operations. he is clearly running the secret service detail in a way that is politically beneficial to the president. that is just, really unprecedented. while different details get attached to the president. or not attached. they never really crossed the line in my mind. in my -- look at this history. i had liaison with the secret services. it is one of my duties as white house counsel. i had to solve problems for them. they would bring them to me.

we would work them out. but that is where it happened. it was at that level, and not at the staff level, directly being a part of the secret service. you know, alyssa, listening to you over the weeks and months. you've been really upfront with their experiences with tony ornato. he tells cnn that he's leaving to take a job in the private sector. first, does that ring true to you? >> secondly how important would his information be concerning the former president state of mind on the sixth? does that ring true and then the other part if you need it i will ask you again. >> first, as you noted, it's been two months since cuts the houston's damning testimony. or not it was very quick to come out with a statement saying that she was inaccurate, she was misleading, she was lying. but it's been two months, he's done nothing to come forward and tell the truth under oath to the committee. i have shared that he has misrepresented situations he and i have been in the past. i will say this, many of us who

know him knew that he was going to retire this summer after a 25 years were up. nothing necessarily nefarious about that. but, i don't take my face value. that he's going -- that does bring true. i don't take him at face value that is not going to a trump entity. keep in mind, there's an entire cottage industry around trump world. it may not be trump work. it could be one of the many maga leaning aligned groups. or a big donor who needs private security. i am almost certain, this is again, me predicting. he's going to end up somewhere connected to donald trump. he is still loyal to him, the reason he has not come for it and that has declined to cooperate with the committee, which congressman kinzinger has said previously. is because he is loyal to the former president. not to the work of the american people and this investigation. >> so the second part the question is, i know it's a lot to ask, how important you think of information will be to getting at the president's state of mind? >> it is very important. and that he would know it. he would have firsthand knowledge. i am not confident that he

would be forthright about it. i think, a lot of the gaps that their words affiliate from cassidy's testimony were honestly filled in from some of paths below news that were later recorded, and others. i think, it is important to come forward for really one primary reason. which is to confirm both that altercation in the secret service vehicle, but also this idea that the president, on january 6th, wanted to go to the capitol and was basically a rogue actor that had to be revealed in by his own secret service. that, i would like to hear from him from. otherwise, i think most of this has been filled in by others. >> got it. john let's talk about the investigation goes top secret documents to mar-a-lago. the doj saying, in court today, they have already gone through the documents. they've identified, quote, a limited set of materials that could contain attorney client privilege information. could this weigh in on the judges decision to appoint a special master or not? >> it could.

because they have already processed the documents. that is done and over. to go back and redo with the special master, to look for, quote, executive privilege. his, to me, a waste of time. there is no executive privilege. this is the executive branch, you don't exert executive privilege against the executive branch. so, that is, i think, a red herring that trump has pled in his rather lengthy description without any attestation to its truthfulness. in his pleading. now, would happen late this afternoon, don, is the court granted the government. the department of justice. the right to a 40 page brief to file tomorrow. so, they are planning on saying something. the court said that was fine. she would like to hear its. >> let's talk about the investigators. they've had these documents for, i, think two weeks before trump even filed for a special

master. do you see this as another delay tactic? >> it is completely a delay tactic. he's got this kind of ad hoc team of attorneys. not assume, to my knowledge, specialize in these sort of investigations some of the more credible lawyers who surrounded him earlier in his presidency won't touch this issue. because they know how legally expose he is. it is honestly an attempt just to stop this process. but honestly, the former presidents will focus is litigating this public relations around it. he's been sounding off on truth social. putting out statements. thing with a corrupt job this was by the fbi and doj. i think he knows the legal of this is not in his favor. he's trying to win in the court of public opinion. i'm confident he's gonna lose in both, that is what he's trying to do. >> you know it happens around the situations because i've seen it with other things that have come up. especially as it relates to trump world. they start attacking the

investigators. right? now they're saying everything is a leak? why is this likewise that leaked that is a new tactic? but has nothing to do with the actual substance of the story and why those documents ended up in mar-a-lago. >> exactly. this is what he's always done. it's a deflection tactic. by the way, don. may just note that today. the former president of the united states, truth social, that the election of 2020 should be overturned. and he should be reinstated as president. we've all got so accustomed to just the insanity, just the craziness about this man calls for that we all kind of dismissed it. of course he said that. something that is unheard of in our american history. you, know we kind of just dismisses like the crazy guy down in mar-a-lago. yet he's the republican front runner. he's a former president of the united states. >> it is serious. but the interesting thing is that while the people who support him, will they take it serious? will it make a difference to them. meaning, in terms of changing their mind about the man, i

doubt it. that's why we are where we are. >> well, just broke, like that's why this investigation will matter. i'm glad that the doj is going to put out this length that they're filing and report to the special master. the public needs more information. i am confident there are movable trump supporters who, with more information about this right, and about the unlawful actions he will engage in. will move away from him. they need to see that. >> thank you both, i appreciate. it >> are spies and informants in danger because of those classified documents the former president took them to mar-a-lago? we will discuss, that is next.

new tonight, the intelligence community has been working with the fbi since mid may to determine the classification level of the documents that were taken from mar-a-lago on january. now, a review of those intelligence agencies can determine what needs to be done to protect sources and methods. this comes as the director of national intelligence is saying that she, and the doj, are conducting a damage assessment of the documents taken out of trump's home in florida in early august, at the request of congress. the white house saying today that they are not involved in the damage assessment. it's time to discuss now, cnn

analysts -- as well as douglas london, a former cia operations officer. he's also the author of, the recruiter, spying, and the lost art of american intelligence. gentlemen. good evening. philip mudd. i have to ask you, first, about this news that tony are not it was leading the secret service. there is a lot of controversy. a lot of missing text messages that could shed light on the former president, up to and during the 16 insurrection. do you have any questions? >> i do. i think the fundamental questions about service and leadership. look, 20% of his sympathizers when he's serving in government. i think a level you have a sense of loyalty that as he served, not just donald, trump he served the president united states. he's been in the secret service for 25 years. when you're on the inside, don, sometimes you feel like you are under siege. you feel like you are holding off the congress, the media,

public opinion. that is 20% of me. 80% of me says that this circuit stance that we witnessed, on january 6th, are so significant that those feelings of loyalty serves that the government asked people to decide and say, i want to do it, but i gotta talk. i get a little tipping but sometimes patient trumps loyalty. he should speak. >> doug, i will talk about mar-a-lago, the documents, the intelligence committee has been working with the fbi since mid may. what, specifically, are they gonna be playing for to protect sources and methods. because that's a concern? >> the dni is going to be coordinating the search and the investigation but she is really going to be tasking out to the individual agencies who own the programs, who only agents? but they're going to do is, essentially, the peptide counterintelligence meeting. there can look at every source who was used in the finished product that, no doubt, were

among the documents that we saw. or operation traffic. the nsa is going to look at signals intelligence programs. that was part of those documents. that were found and the images. because we saw their binders of images. i'm assuming come from some of our silent programs. or corporate action programs. the owners will look back from the onset of those cases. so the onset of those programs. they will look for inconsistencies. they will look for anomalies. the look for changes in the posture of our atmospheres areas. but, the childcare that i've participated in the snowden investigation counterintelligence review. we knew what student had done with those documents. that was very clear to see. in the case documents filed at mar-a-lago we don't know with the presidents intent was. we don't know what the intent might have been of others who would've had access to those documents. which is, i think part of the reason the fbi is looking at dna and fingerprints samples of those documents. there's a lot we don't know and at the end of the day the fact is we hear about ts/sci.

some of those documents are so sensitive we don't even know the programs publicly what they were receiving the names of those programs for our classified. so listen, this is what's in the affidavit shows us some of the documents from mar-a-lago, in january. they contain information about human intelligence. meaning spies, informants, as well as other highly sensitive documents. could those people really be in imminent danger? >> what would you expect the president to get. he's the most important question. he's gonna get the most sensitive information. from the most sensitive sources the difference in human intelligence from a lot of the other types of information. it has to be provided in context you give the consumer some understanding of the sources access. the reliability. and their placement. by doing, so even if the source is not named, and the finished product. there are so many clues there, are you talking about intelligence at the most sensitive nature. which means, the number of people who know that information. it is more limited.

then an adversary has a great deal of clues to go on, to try to narrow down the scope of who might be exposing that information. or what type of technical vulnerabilities they might have, for much united states is collecting intelligence. >> this is also bizarre, it is highly classified information. it is top secret information. it is not usually released. and the affidavit, this doesn't usually happen. the judges allow, all the stuff. we are talking once a very sensitive issues here. the intelligence community review. that is mostly going to resolve any operational risks. that give you any indication of what is actually in these documents? >> it won't. i think we will see a little bit more. if you're an intel guy already know some of what's in these documents. why some, believe it or not the sounds really born, but why some of the acronyms. >> talked about -- that with a mask. the one. what do you mean? >> i mean, if that information

is released. that foreign government is going to say, that is a channel of communications. that's a former nuclear program, for a political program, from our leadership, as military communications. they want to get into seconds where they come from and shut down his communications. i suspect that the dni was going to find that none of that stuff is going to be released or they can't prove that's going to release or stolen. it's pretty sensitive. all of us and into know that that is. you don't want to say on the air when you read between the lines and that information or do you think? >> when i'm reading, as i said, it's some of it is interesting the communication. let me take you inside for just a moment. when you read those intercepted communication. they are extremely detailed. so, if you are reading this so you are in russia, or china, or around, if you're reading those is going to take you zero time to figure out the origin. those aren't general communications and they're not fuzzed up so that the reader doesn't understand the origin?

if that stuff that is at the top secret, code word level is released. those lines of communication are close. they're gonna go dark. that foreign government is gonna shut him down. i don't think it happened, dame, but it could. >> when on that if you want to. i have a question for you but you want to weigh on that? >> i think phil is exactly right. back in 2013 if you guys might recall there were a series of terrorist threats against american embassies in the gulf. we were getting that from intercepts. it was reported in the press that they really coated with some of the quotes, the exchanges between at that time zawahiri and it's operational commanders in yemen. as he said, that lana communication went dark immediately after. >> all right, thank you doug, thank you. phil i appreciate it. >> oregon, arizona, texas, michigan. to some of the states that experience deadly gun violence this weekend. what is driving the search, that is next?

another weekend full of deadly gun violence all across this country. a gunman with an ar-15 style rifle opening fire in a oregon grocery store. he killed two people, this suspected should responded at the scene. in arizona, a gunman wearing tactical gear firing a semiotic rifle there several businesses. that attack leaving two people dead and five others injured, including two police officers. the suspect, also found dead there. in houston, a government setting fire to residential complex, and then shooting at people as they fled the scene.

this leaving three people dead and two others injured, police killing the suspect in that attack. authorities say a recent eviction notice from the building may have been a trigger for the suspected gunman. detroit police arresting a man accused of randomly shooting four people and four separate shootings. that's pretty leading three people dead and another injured in indiana. a shooting at an indianapolis hotel, claimed the life of a dutch soldier. and injuring two others. the soldiers were in indiana for a training exercise. authorities don't consider the incident a random act. there are still no arrest in connection with the shooting. and washington, d.c. washington commanders player bryan robinson junior, is on the mend after being shot and what police say, maybe an attempted robbery or carjacking. robinson posted via instagram today that history went well, after suffering two gunshot wounds and that attack. these are just some of the many randomly related gun incidents

this weekend, i should say gun related incidents this weekend. i want to bring say national security analyst, juliette kayyem juliet, oh boy, but the heck is going on? what is it? >> h&m can be explained, as a different, random, different motivations, is the summer heat, is someone who got affected, some lose method to grocery store they take a step back and look at the connective tissue across this country. every demographic, every type of communities impacted. it is its guns it's not a secret at the stage. it is different kinds of guns. i don't pretend that they are similar. there are weapons that were seen, and especially in the safeway case. that should not be on the streets. summaries are handguns but it is a way in which americans, or some population of americans utilizes gun as sort of conflict resolution or things could have had.

so, each of these can be dismissed as separate. of course, if you sort of look at the totality, it was a weekend of gun violence, period, there's a new beyoncé song called america has a problem. every time i hear it i think this, is it this is the homeland security problem, we are just not seeing it. because each separate case we can explain away in some ways. >> it is, look, don't get me wrong, the guns are connective tissue. but -- isn't the people's actions and their belted to be responsible. the people of access to guns who don't just go off and should people, rob stores, you know i mean? >> absolutely. this is where i think, the politics of this. or the discussion on gun control is getting very interesting. because what you are seeing, at least in the last couple of months is a commitment to supporting police. if you look at the american

recovery act 85 billion going to police. going to police departments. from a democratic administration. democrats have often been accused of sort of, supporting defund the police. we have this very focused effort to support police and law enforcement. and then, i narrative or at least as we are going to hear from president biden tomorrow. when he supports an assault rifle bad. that objections to gun control are fundamentally anti police. i mean, this is the way that this narrative is forming. if you look at some of the victims in the shootings they are often police who have tactical gear. they just can't protect themselves against some of this weaponry. we saw some military -- foreign military soldiers also be victims. so, it is a very interesting confluence of the support police and the blue with viewing, objections to gun control as being anti-police. i think that is the connection that most americans can relate

to. and most of police departments, urban police departments, are very supportive of gun control for this reason. they see who are often victims of these kinds of incidences. >> there used to be an assault weapons ban. that expired, right? experts aren't clear on exactly how much of an impact that this has ever made. what do the numbers say? >> the numbers are interesting. this all rifle ban is going to be focused and the people can debate about whether there will be the votes. the focus is, can we stop killings that kill people so quickly that there can be no police response. or even the biggest police response cannot protect human life. so you're looking at this particular type of crime. which is ten dead in two minutes. 15 dead in four minutes. we've seen these, which law enforcement bravely brunson -- not talking about uvalde or in

texas or anything. bore police russian, the gunman is only killing for two or three minutes, but he can get 18, 19, 20 people. it is a particular focus on that kind of that. so, even within assault rifle ban, you may see either consistent homicide killings. but they are with other weaponry. that is with the data has shown us. but we also know is that during that tenure period, those mass shootings, the ones that we are calling for or more deaths. not including the killer himself. that those significantly down. the reason why there was this ten-year trial period. it was the only way that people can get a pass of the time. when that then gets waved, you see the gun manufacturers start to throw this stuff, essentially making it very sexy so to speak. they begin to really markets this kind of, that weaponry. i'll be very basic, or i don't need to be technical. that's why you see the rise of the mass shooting for more

deaths in a single incident. so, it is an important piece of it, it is not quick to solve all the problems. whether he has the votes are not doesn't matter, the american public is basically for. it all on law enforcement effort. so, you want to just basically push this narrative, at this, time when people see what is happening each weekend in this country. >> i get what you are saying. but a lot of this are people out there who think they are bad when they're holding a gun. that they can do whatever they want. and that we gotta get at that problem. >> one of the things that the nra gave up on a long time ago the nra used to represent responsible gun ownership. then, they began to reece flecked really the sale of guns. but responsible gun ownership, seems to, me as a common refrain amongst most gun owners. they get, it they have safe boxes, they want their kids could run with, stuff they don't have weaponry that is

unnecessary and civilian. society i think, if we can get to that dialogue, which is essentially where biden is going to be tomorrow. that responsible gun under ship, whether you are a gun owner or not. it's something that we can all agree on. it is that -- it is because the nra, and other organizations, really drop responsibility from what they talk about when they talk about guns. they talk about purchases. which has been the shift. i should say, i think it's really interesting now. with this sort of assault on police. the fbi and others. they really are seeing. i've never seen it before and i've been in this field a long time. this combination of support for police. and these criticisms of police departments. coming from what was traditionally the sort of, alter ego. the democratic party. >> i'll tell you, when i was a kid, i picked up my dad's gun.

but have picked up a gun. two seconds after picked it up. i never picked a big until i was an adult. so that's all i will say. >> i agree with you on that, personal responsibility, responsible gun ownership. both of those i think are attainable goals in this country. >> you're not that idea right administers i picked it up. thank you very much, appreciate. it >> thank you. it is likely serena williams last hurrah. she said she's make a transition. she's a young woman, she's not going anywhere. she won't be on the tennis court as much, right, in the way that she has competed traditionally. so, she's off to a strong start tonight. at the u.s. open. we've got details, that is next.

superstar, serena, williams at the u.s. open right here in new york city. advancing to the second round in singles tonight. and what is likely a fast final appearance at the open. cnn contributor, kara champion joins me now. she was there. hey carrie how are you? >> thank you for having me. i'm ready to report. live freshman the open. >> you just came back, she won a first round but do you think? >> i think there are a lot of symbols tonight that were very special. serena williams has played for 27 years. imagine you doing what you've done since you were 14 years old, then deciding at 43 that it is time to over war -- i believe, tonight, the crowd was electric. it was measurable. the special part about it was that i felt like serena started off a little sluggish. the crowd willed her to win. she felt the love. she felt the significance of the moment. her first grand slam u.s. open, likely qualifiers might be it for her. >> at 14.

i think all burgum economists. >> you're not playing professional tennis at 14 years old. i think when the french fries at mcdonald's. i got the job and it's too young to work there. they found out. i wanted to buy a car, so there we go, and i was in high school. i made, she's been doing this for a long time. let's talk about that cause there's a big celebration tonight. this is what she told, this is after the match. a surprise to because she told gayle king about a decision, shin say she was retiring she said she's going to a new face. i feel that way your passion about something and you love something so much it is always hard to walk away. sometimes i think it is hard to walk away and to. not that it's been the case for me. so i've been trying to decide for a little while was to do. >> she has changed not only tennis but she's changed women sports. >> correct. i said something that was controversial but i'll say it again because i want to make sure it is clear. if he had to do with everyone talks about, g.o.a.t., greatest

of all time. out but serena in my top five. not just for tennis. naomi osaka so eloquently said, serene is the biggest thing in the sport. she said, knows disrespect to djokovic or to nadal, but serena is really one of those players that comes along, very similar to michael jordan. she changes the game. >> was our question about that? >> there were so much pushback. there is a shoe the greatest female player, she's a greatest in tennis. i said no no, she's an icon. and what people don't consider is that before tennis, much like tyler, serena came in as this figure that had more melanin than most. as a black young girl, her and her sister made very acceptable in a white sport. that is not a very disrespectful thing to say but it's a sport to which you didn't see people who look like. you saw when i saw serena win her very first grand slam, or when serena won her first grand

slam. i think it's possible. that's why there's a cocoa gap. that's why there's a naomi osaka. that's why there will be so many more. >> people can't be serious. they know the difference between an icon. there's some people who are really great players, right? there are others who are icons. there are other people who were a great tennis player, serena williams is an icon. she is a great tennis player. let's talk, this is something different, this is an accord or the volleyball court. the athletic director of brigham young university. admitting today that much more should been done when officials became aware that a black pillar, on the duke's women's volleyball team was taunted by racist slur during a match against byu. this is on friday. a name is rachel richards and she said the barrage of insults caused her and fellow black players to feel unsafe and that byu officials did not take adequate steps to stop the taunting. byu says one person is now been banned from the athletic event.

he was not only called the n-word every time she served during a game against byu, she was threatened and she said she was made to feel unsafe and a crowded gym. but what happened in this game? >> unfortunately, we live in a world where athletes are being more vocal about it. where we see a lot of fans, i'm not saying this one particular fan represented byu, because that would be unfair. we are seeing fanciful very bold, oren bolden, perhaps by the very polarizing times by which we live in. and for this young lady to just go there and play, and understand that she's the only qualifying black starter at duke. they say she's great, she's the next, think she'll be playing volleyball, she will be representing us. she is protected in the olympics. for her to be there and feel unsafe is very unfortunate. here's what's unfortunate. for live in the society where no one can speak up for her. if no one can say, this isn't

right. if there's not an adult in the stand that say i hear this man, and it is not okay. that is why she felt unsafe. it because we are used to taunting in terms of -- we are use the taunting. i'm used to people saying mean things. it doesn't bother me. but it's so long and one felt the need to protect her. that is why she felt unsafe. >> something you might notice as you are speaking this is would be why you officials have said. they issued an apology. they banned a spectator from attending any sporting events. they say, when a student athlete or fan comes to a byu sporting event we expect that they will be treated with love and respect and feel safe on our campus. it's for this reason byu has banned a fan who was identified by duke during last week's volleyball match, from all byu athletic venues. he should be banned, but something should've happened. >> they've done it on the immediate level. they done it especially like how russell westbrook has been very bold about tires weaponry to him. other players have talked about

it. but now that you have someone on the collegiate level i think that someone needs to take some sobering advice and pay attention to the people who were there. you cannot say that it is okay. it is okay to taunt a fan using racial shirts. i am the biggest trash talker because you know, i trash talk trash, i'll talk trash. i love it. >> it is good to see you, how are you doing, are you okay? it's been a while. it's been a minute. it's been two minute. can you take some time off on wednesday and go see serena, she missed a second round. >> i'm going to see serena. trust. >> i appreciate you for having me. >> america has seen a steady decline in tobacco use and growing support for legalizing marijuana. now, a new service say more americans are smoking weed than cigarettes. listening to music. so today, let's paint... ...with behr and make your home, yours. right now, get america's most truststed paint brand at an everyday low price.

a major change in american society when it comes to people who smoke.

for the first time ever people are saying they smoke marijuana for -- and those who say that they smoke the garage. 60% of people 61, 6% of people surveyed said they smoked weed in the past week. that number has more than doubled in nearly ten years. it is not surprising as more and more americans, two thirds, that's according to gallup. now say that they are in favor of legalizing recreational pot. and, over the past few years, more states have, in fact, legalized it. so tobacco use has been dropping for decades. gallup is showing that only 16 -- only 11% say that they smoked a cigarette in the past week. by comparison, 22 years ago. about one fourth of all american adults smoked cigarettes. can you believe it? more people smoking weed then that to back. sign of the times.
