8:03 pm
jury, but limiting the scope of his testimony. let's discuss all of it now. cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig is here. also cnn political analyst, coauthor of this will not pass, and cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser. hello to one a doll. good evening, elie, i'm going to start with you. the former presidents lawyers -- a special master. did they help themselves by comparing these documents to an overdue library book? >> no, don, it's such a ridiculous comparison. it defies the need for even further articulation. look, when you are a lawyer, overstatement is not better. there seems to be a misconception that the more dramatic the claim whether you are as a lawyer. we lawyers know that you do not step out of your lane. there's no need to overstep like this. donald trump has not been well served by his lawyers throughout this particular case. they wanted to get a special master. that is not a dramatic ask.
8:04 pm
that's not unreasonable. that's not unprecedented. but in the process, they came in with such explosive, overhyped political rhetoric that they prompted this filing resulted from the justice department few days ago, which really thoroughly set the record straight and, i think, did quite a bit of damage donald trump, certainly in the public consciousness. because now we understand much better what led to that search. we have seen this photo. so, trump may ultimately get his special master, perhaps even tomorrow, but it will come at a heavy cost. and that's largely due to poor lawyering. >> so, jonathan martin, the judge appeared open to granting the special master, with a carve out for the intelligence assessment, even asking prosecutors, what is the harm, right? good special master help stop some of the complaints from trump allies? or is that impossible? >> look, i just think doing that is going to sort of keep this in the public eye for the next weeks to come. it may ultimately by trump more
8:05 pm
time, don, on the legal front. but on the pr and the political front, every day that this story, the raid on the former presidents home, and his apparent refusal to turn over classified documents -- it's poison for his party. and you saw president biden's speech tonight, don. what biden is doing is trying to take advantage in seizing this opportunity, in which president trump is back in the news. look, if you put republicans on truth serum, don, they would say, every day that trump is still the story is a wasted day going to the midterms. and as long as trump is the story in the midterms, they are going to have -- democrats are -- a punter's chance? >> listen, scott jennings was on this program and another programs today and saying very similar sentiments to what you were saying, -- he actually said if trump is the nominee in 2024, that his party would lose.
8:06 pm
so, it's interesting that you are saying that as well. susan glasser, in a radio interview today, the former president seem to say that the fbi was actually trying to retrieve documents that would make them look bad, connected hillary clinton and the russia investigation. it is a bizarre deflection. is he growing more desperate with all of these revelations this week? >> you know, don, it's not a surprise to anyone who has been following along these last few years, that donald trump's comfort zone is to blame things on hillary clinton, right? he will be re-litigating the election that he actually won, never mind the election that he lost, forever. when it comes to hillary clinton -- and that's just a refrain for him. i feel like it is his safety net. but the truth of the matter is that trump himself has essentially admitted that he took these documents and given, i think, i don't know, you have to look at the latest count -- but certainly, it is a
8:07 pm
significant number of shifting excuses for why he has done so, from claiming that he gave a blanket the classification order, to say, never mind, it's not that big of a deal anyways. i thought it was remarkable that his or was in court today saying it was like an overdue library book. i would like to get access to that classified library. nobody has offered it to me. come on. it has been [inaudible] >> elie, the january six committee -- i found this fascinating, yeah, fascinating, it's a good word. asking for new gingrich's cooperation. chairman thompson saying they have maybe seen messages between trump -- jason miller about spreading election lies through tv ads. why would this be an important thread? >> don, what's interesting here to me is the coordination. we think of newt gingrich because he got famous for being an elected official, speaker of the house. but he is a private civilian now. and the allegation, if you look at the light of two newt gingrich, seems to be, he was courting, with jared kushner, which is interesting, by the
8:08 pm
way, we've not heard that name before -- and jason miller -- to january 6th. what's also very interesting is that the committee alleges that the 10:42 pm at night on january 6th -- so, after the riot had been quelled -- newt gingrich was still pushing for members of congress to decertify, to refuse to certify the election. so, newt gingrich has some questions answer. this is not a subpoena. this is just a polite, informal request. i would hazard a guess, he may not comply, in which case the committee is going to have to decide if they want to take it up a notch and issue him a subpoena. >> jonathan martin, trump now says he is seriously considering pardons for january 6th rioters, if he is reelected in 2024. >> yeah. >> instead of backing off in the face of all these allegations, it's as if he is doubling down and doing exactly, i think, what most members of his party don't want him to do. >> and look -- democrats have spent a lot of time, along with adam kinzinger and liz cheney, investigating the events of january 6th.
8:09 pm
we have seen multiple primetime hearings. i am sure we will see more hearings between now and the end of the year, into that inquiry. and obviously, that is not a topic that the republicans would prefer to focus on. they want to talk about issues like inflation, and immigration. but trump is extremely mindful, don, of his base, and especially the most hard-core partisans in his base. and that is a demographic that, frankly, feels like some of the people on january 6th were treated wrongly. but of course, for donald trump, on september 1st, two months before the election, to sort of lean into the fall midterm campaign by announcing he is going to pardon the january 6th rioters en masse -- no, of course, is not what his party wants him to be talking about. and it sort of gives democrats a gift. look, every time is a midterm
8:10 pm
election, and as one party in power in congress and the white house, they don't want it to be a referendum on their stewardship, especially when people are not happy with the direction of the country. they want to frame it as a choice election. and when donald trump says that kind of thing about pardoning the january 6th rioters, he led santa making this a choice election between two parties, rather than a simple referendum on the party in power. >> he is also claiming, susan, that he is financially supporting some of the january six defendants. what happens to this country if trump runs for president on a platform that january 6th was justified. >> yeah, i think that's the thing that people have not yet fully reckoned with, that a donald trump who returned to office or attempted to do so, in 2024, would be very different in some ways than the first term, donald trump, likely to pursue a far more radical agenda. having crossed certain lines that we thought of as uncross -able, including refusing to
8:11 pm
accept the outcome of an american election. and i thought that that was a remarkable statement he made in an interview -- insurrectionists promising to pardon them. this would be a trump -- almost, a fever dream second term. it would be a totally much more radical agenda, especially because that means, in winning -- republican party to go along, the outrageous claims. and it's fascinating to see how riled up republicans are about the biden speech tonight. and some of these reactions on twitter and alike would think. they were shocked to discover that anyone who had supported. election denial campaign -- or that they had anything to do with donald trump. it's kind of amazing to watch. it certainly is. >> susan, jonathan, elie, think
8:12 pm
you all, i appreciate it. president biden calling out donald trump by name in his primetime speech tonight and warning what he calls maga republicans are threat to america. how will his message land with midterm voters? >> maga republicans look at america and see carnage in darkness and despair. they spread fear and lies. lies told for profit and power. but i see a different america. an america with an unlimited future. an america that is about to take off. icy hot pro. ♪ ice works fast... to freeze yourur pain and your doubt. ♪ heat makes it last. so you'll never sit this onene out. icy hot pro with 2 max-strength pain relievers. so we need something super disctintive. dad's work, meet daughter's playtime. wait 'till you hear this— thankfully, meta portal helps reduce background noe. zero lace model.

8:17 pm
speech for what he calls the battle for the soul of the nation tonight. laying out how democracy is in danger, and pinning it on what he calls, maga republicans. watch! >> maga republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. they refused to accept the results of the free election. and they are working right now as i speak in state after state, to give power to decide elections in america. the partisans, and cronies. empowering election deniers. undermining democracy itself. maga forces are determined to take this country backwards. backwards! to an america where there is no right to choose. no right to privacy. no right to contraception. no right to marry who you love. they promote authoritarian
8:18 pm
leaders and fanned the flames of political violence. they are a threat to our personal rights. to the pursuit of justice. to the rule of law. so the very soul of this country. >> all right let's discuss now, cnn political commentator alison, and natasha as well. good to see you this evening. alice, wait, what? she's not with us. why are you in d.c. and not on the set with us? >> i was in [inaudible] john. >> you don't need an invitation, just hop on the bus. you don't need to discuss much. so let me start with, natasha and actually start with you. is that the message that is going to fire up voters in the midterm elections going forward about saving democracy and peoples rights? >> i think he spoke directly to americans who have been horrified about what they've been witnessing over the past year. that insurrection, the politicians going along with the big lie.
8:19 pm
politicians that you would expect would know better. and i think he was a champion for them tonight. and i was waiting to see, don, if he was a little bit less forward. because we have been talking about his language, and his tone. that he was really unapologetic about calling out the extremism. noteworthy that he called out white supremacy's which i thought was key because when you think about the time when we had a president who did both sides over charlottesville. so i think that was really important. but the final thoughts, the idea that this is not who we are. we always see those from politicians, this is not who we are. i think it might be better to actually admit that this is who america has been. post reconstruction. we have been a country of political violence. and so, remind people that we used to do these things. and we don't want to go back to that. >> it's just interesting because, unless you, people forget or they haven't been watching. we have been over this before. with charlottesville. as you said, the president, the
8:20 pm
former president, both sizing everything. this is well trotted territory that we have been going over, at least i know. since i've been dealing with donald trump over the past five, six, seven years. it kind of says the same thing over and over. we go through charlottesville, we go through stuff that he does with nba players, and the kneeling, and all of that. and we always arrive at the same point. where he is making excuses for white supremacy. and bigotry. and racism. and so, here we go again. i just want to play this, this is alice. this is for you from the current president of the united states. watch this! >> donald trump and the maga republicans represent and that threatens the very foundations of our republic. i want to be very clear, very clear in up front. not every republican, not even the majority of republicans are maga republicans.
8:21 pm
not every republican i embraces the extreme ideology. i know, because i've been able to work with these mainstream republicans. but there is no question that the republican party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by donald trump in the maga republicans. and that is a threat to this country. >> so alice, we have been, since he made that speech, we have been going back and forth about exactly what was happening, who is he calling. i think it was the semi fascism. he made a clear distinction tonight. >> he still attacked republicans. plain and simple. don, i remember when president biden was sworn in. i was encouraged and optimistic about a new tone, and the new tenor, and a new direction. and really bringing this country together. and tonight speech about the soul of our nation, i can just
8:22 pm
tell you that after seeing what i saw, and hearing what i heard. that was a dark, depressing, and very divisive speech. what he did in the speech tonight was vilify half of this country. but also -- >> half of this country and not maga republicans? that's not accurate now. it's 20% of the voting public. >> 74 million americans voted for the person. >> but they're not all maga republicans. they're not all maga republicans. >> the bottom line is where republicans. and he's talking about republicans. >> he made a distinction about republicans. listen, i hate doing this because it makes me seem like it's political, but if you're gonna come in and distort the truth, he did not say all republicans. he is not talking about the 75, all of the 75 million people, or 70 something people who voted for donald trump and it is plain as day. he went out of his way to say i am going to make it very clear. and even when he gave the
8:23 pm
speech, earlier in the week, he talked about a maga philosophy. as semi fascism of maga philosophy. he did not say republicans were fascists. so why are we playing this word game and pretending that the president did and said something that he actually didn't say? i cannot let that stand, alice. he did not say that. >> don, as a republican, i'm telling you what republicans heard. >> how exactly did he attack all republicans? where did he say all republicans are maga, or all republicans are fascist? or all republicans are that? what was his exact language. where did he say that? >> don, he started last week. when he called republicans fascist. >> he did not recall republicans fascist alice! he did not! he said, he compared a maga philosophy to semi-fascism. he did not call all republicans fascist. that just not true, sorry, it's just not true! >> don. i hear what you're saying. and what you're trying to do. i'm telling you what
8:24 pm
republicans here when he is saying that. >> is there something along with republicans here or their interpretation? because they cannot hear. do they hear differently than other people? because that's not, again, if i say. i'm talking about maga republicans and not all republicans. how do you hear the word i'm talking about all republicans? >> don, the tone of the speech. was clearly a direct hit against people did not share his ideology. and he repeatedly vilified people that did not share his ideology. and did so in a way that he was able to distract from his policies that are not working in this country. when we're talking about high inflation, crime, immigration. and this wasn't perfect opportunity as the president of the united states to actually raise the temperature. i was encouraged with one of the lines that he said in his speech tonight. that we all need to show a willingness to not treat each
8:25 pm
other as enemies but as friends. i wish he had done much more of that. he spent the first 12 minutes of the speech talking about the former president. and those who supported him. i was really optimistic, don. >> alison, all right. i'm gonna meet you where you are. among them into what you are. not to treat everyone as me as friends. so who is a friendly person to this current president? who should he be friendly towards? who has given him an olive branch to become friends in the currents republican party? especially the maga wing of the party? who should he be reaching out to? >> he should be reaching out to everyone. but he said that. didn't he say, i was president for all americans? >> he said that he would different democracy regardless of ideology. those were actually little words in the speech.
8:26 pm
regardless of ideology, defend democracy. that was a priority and purpose of the speech tonight. to say that democracy is bigger than party. it's bigger than maintaining power. it's bigger than overthrowing elections just to be the party in power. it's not about agreeing on everything. >> the point is don, he should constantly be reaching across the aisle to all republicans. whether they are in his mind, maga republicans or moderate republicans. and he talks about them every now and again. but he should be reaching out to all of them to get things done. and then we would certainly have more policies pass on a bipartisan level. as opposed to just by democrats. >> alice, how is he gonna do that when there's, most of what he asked for, and he has gotten some bipartisan support. so he's been very successful with that over the past few weeks. but the most of the time, republicans don't even vote 100% of the time. they vote against any legislation that the president,
8:27 pm
or democrats asked for? how is that? >> look at the majority of the policies that the democrats have put forth. our large, massive, billions of dollars of spending packages. and one of the things that republicans are not going to do is to continue to spend billions of dollars as we head into historic inflation. >> not even for tax cuts for the richest americans and multi billion dollar corporations? >> they are not going to support. they are certainly not going to support the student loan bowed out to buy votes of younger people. not planting trees in urban areas. not going to support climate change proposals that the progressives wants. they're not reporting the policies that they're going for, because it does put us further into inflationary problems. >> okay. thank you. this is very difficult sometimes. because [laughs]

8:29 pm
day slavery, and then we took all the rocks outside in the middle of our school yard. and we spelled out my freedom day. so we had this really cool shot where everyone was shouting out my freedom day. sort of a symbolic way of the state of our pledges. actually being sent in stone. and they will remain there forever. this i believe has made a very long lasting impact on them. and it's something that they have vowed to take on in the following months. you'll see them around the school, still doing other things for my freedom day! ♪ ♪ ♪ "shake your thang" by salt n pepa

8:32 pm
>> police releasing body cam video that shows an officer fatally shooting an unarmed black man in his bed. this time it's in columbus, ohio, a city that sadly is familiar with these kinds of innocence incidents. and i have to warn you, the video is disturbing. here is cnn's omar jimenez with more. [noise] >> it started with an early morning knock at the door, and columbus police officers
8:33 pm
preparing to serve a felony warrant for domestic violence, assault, an improper handling of a firearm. >> [inaudible] we are not leaving. we know you are inside! >> -- spent 8 to 10 minutes knocking on the door. >> a man eventually opened the door. he, and another person inside, or detained. but the third, who ended up being the target -- we believed to be behind this door. >> we are going to send that dog in. >> [noise] [noise] [noise] something in his hand. >> there's something in his hands didn't turn out to be a weapon, police say, what a vape pen was found next to him on the bed. 20 year old donovan lewis was later pronounced dead. he was shot by officer ricky anderson, a 30 year veteran with a department who has been placed on leave, pending an ongoing state investigation.
8:34 pm
and in less than a week, this was the third police involved shooting in columbus, this being the only fatal one but also the latest in a number of controversial shootings in recent years, going back to december 2020. casey goodson junior was shot and killed by a deputy looking for violent offenders at the time, but not him. that deputy was indicted on two counts of murder and one count of reckless homicide. later that month, an officer shot and killed andre hill, as police responded to a report of a man sitting in his suv. that officer fired and charged with murder. and in april last year, 16 year old ma'khia bryant was shot and killed when a video showed her lunging at another woman with a knife. the officer was not indicted. >> the last few years have been challenging for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is balancing the need for public safety with the need for police reform. >> it's part of why the u.s. department of justice launched an ongoing review into the police department.
8:35 pm
but for donovan lewis's family, it doesn't change him being gone. >> how many more lives are going to be lost to this type of reckless activity? there was no justification -- let me be clear, no justification -- for officer anderson to shoot an unarmed man trying to get out of bed, as police officers were instructing him to do. now the attorneys for the shooting officer put out a statement saying, they sympathize with a loss of life but also that we must look to the totality of the circumstances, because unlike all of us, officers are not afforded the luxury of armchair reflection when they are faced with rapidly evolving and volatile encounters in dangerous situations. but of course, this is now in the hands of a state investigation. once that is over, those results will be turned over to a county prosecutor, at which point they will decide if any charges need to be filed, don. all >> right, omar, appreciate
8:36 pm
that reporting, i also want you to bring around, i also want to bring in former highway patrol captain johnson. captain johnson, good evening to you, you saw the video there. what is your reaction to how the officers handled that situation? >> i think an issue, they say, they are saying, we are going to send the dog. and i'm wondering, why would you not just in the dog and by itself? situations are tough. lighting is probably an issue. and i think you have the canine there. and you say you are going to send the canine in. and you say someone is there. and the canine in and let him or her do their job. >> so, omar, a new reporting, as you note, lewis's killing is the third police shooting in the city in less than a week. can you tell us what you are hearing from the columbus community now? >> obviously, the video is really upsetting. it's almost a feeling of déjà vu for a lot of people who, of course, not just three in this past week -- but i laid out some of those extremely controversial fatal
8:37 pm
shooting just over the past two years or so. and i want to put out a statement from the head of the urban league in columbus. she said, in response to this, that we understand that serving a felony warrant warrant creates a highly dangerous and volatile situation. and yet the body camera videos, as gut-wrenching as the fact that another black man lost his life. and that, of course, is the crux of this. no matter where the investigation goes, this families not getting their son back. on the others other side of things, a pastor, locally in columbus, told one of our affiliates, said, just one of having the video, of course, goes along, major way. but of course, this is the beginning of a long investigation where, i can imagine, more facts will come, out don. >> so, captain, help me out. the department's had controversial shootings in recent years and the doj is currently conducting review there. which is all the say to you about what is happening? >> it's obviously being transparent. we've heard some comments from the chief, who said, that we
8:38 pm
will support things that are downright, but things that are done wrong, we will hold people accountable. one thing i would like to say, that the attorney for the officer said, that the law allows officers to be mistaken, to be mistaken. and i disagree with that. and i agree that we have to look at this. transparent is an issue. but these are happening too much in our country. and we have to begin a look and see what we need to do better in our training of our officers throughout our country. >> thank you gentlemen, i appreciate it. and omar, keep following. thank you so much. >> serena veritas williams lead in the first round of the u.s.. open doubles. so, what's next for serena? we are going to discuss that next.
8:40 pm
8:43 pm
serena and venus williams losing tonight in doubles play at u.s. open, even this classic play by williams sisters did not save them at the end. serena and venus fell in straight sets to czech republic opponents. but as always, this is gave their devoted fans a show. and can hold their heads high tonight. well, together, over their illustrious careers, they have won 14 grand slams doubles together. and serena is back in the court tomorrow for her third round of
8:44 pm
signals. joining me now, cnn sports correspondent carolyn manno -- serena is playing a lot of tennis. >> yeah, she's playing a lot of tennis. what did you see? what do you think of the match tonight? >> it's tough to beat a quality opponent when you haven't played doubles together in more than four years. it was a tough match for them. i was struck by a couple of things i. wasn't surprised by the way they left the port sport. -- serena's first match. they acknowledge the crowd, the waves, it was very businesslike, there was no tears. and that's very much in line with venus. he's very different from serena in that way. she doesn't need all of that. and coming into the tournament, she could not retire and just telling anybody. that's who she is. but as i was watching them tonight, i was a little bit sentimental about it. i started thinking about the beginning of their careers. they are 42 and 40 years old. but here is a thing that we watched, serena, oh, venus's career. her and demand.
8:45 pm
and we saw venus come along, or serena i should say. >> and i look at venus as the initial trail believes are. the one that was so talented first. and when you watch serena tonight on the court, your kind of seeing her as the little sister. or the phenom that is impressing us to this day. >> we saw it happen before our very eyes. we lived it. >> yeah, it's very special. and serena had a lot of matches coming into doubles play, so it's the insensitive and why she wanted to do this with venus. and put them in a situation where they wanted to play doubles. but the sentimental-ism also looks like she did it for venus, serena calls venous her rock. and, venus called serena the boss. she calls with the boss. she said she's gonna play doubles. so they leaned on each other, and what has helped them to survive three decades of everything that has come their way. so their role model for women, their a role model for minority communities. they are exceptional tennis players. serena is a mother.
8:46 pm
there is not too many people that can understand her, and she is needing venus first times in her career. so to be able to give that back to her tonight, and play doubles, because she wants to keep playing tennis. they hate to lose. they hate saying goodbye. >> her and them are playing singles tomorrow nights. what do you think to see? >> she's a very talented player. a very baseline hitter. it's gonna be a tough test. i would say, the crowd for serena in singles is going to be more than i ever heard in these initial rounds. >> i have to say, when carol sat down. and she said, we are serena crazy! >> it's true. where serena crazy right now. [inaudible] it's a player that can crack under pressure. and i haven't seen a situation about an athletes than we had right now and this is a tennis match. you're gonna play serena in a crowd that's getting bigger and bigger. and millions of watching at her
8:47 pm
at home. there's an incredible amount to watch her at home and she's playing with the freedom that we haven't had in decades and i think we're all here for. it >> i love having this conversation, a break from politics. >> i was gonna say, i don't want any of that [laughs] . >> it's all love, but, this has been great to watch, it's been great to watch and as we say it's been great to witness over the 30 years. these two young women and now women who have come into their own and really just been role models. >> there are plenty of parts of their legacy, which has been today, and there are parts of the legacy that you can't qualify. what they've been for tennis, and for women of color. you can't quantify what that has done beyond the sport of tennis. they are truly remarkable. both of them. >> thank you carolyn, good to see you. we'll be right back!
