because my initial instinct was, well, but whatever it takes. but the fact is this is cost prohibitive already for so many families, so you don't want to add to that. that's a real concern as well. >> that's a problem. >> thank you, allison. don't miss it. cnn's special report, the baby business. it is tonight, 9:00 eastern right here. thank you so much for joining us. ac 360 starts now. the ruling is being called unprecedented and some are calling the basis for it into question. what is not in question, though, what a florida district judge has just decided in the mar-a-lago documents case has immediate implications and perhaps long-term consequences too. john berman here in for anderson. judge eileen cannon's ruling today calls for a special master to look over materials seized from mar-a-lago and temporarily bars the justice department from using it in its investigation of documents in properly kept at the palm beach resort. now, in part of her ruling,

judge cannon seems to say that a former president might be different in her view than a regular joe. quoting her now, as plaintiff articulated at the hearing, the investigation and treatment of a former president is of unique interest to the general public, and the country is best served by an orderly process that promotes the interest and perception of fairness. unique interest, she writes, before granting what the former attorney general under president trump, no less, recently said this about. >> well, i think the whole idea of a special master is a bit of a red herring at this stage since they've already gone through the documents. i think it's a waste of time. >> agree or disagree with that notion and whatever you might think of how judge cannon arrived at her decision, we'll talk about what it portends with our legal experts in just a moment. first, cnn's sara murray who has all the latest on the ruling itself. walk us through what the judge issued today. >> reporter: as you pointed out, she has granted the former

president this special master to look for any personal items, any items that could fall under attorney-client privilege or any items that could fall under executive privilege, which is a particularly fraught area. but she sort of lays out her reasoning for this, saying that, you know, there are allegations of bias and leaks, that the p perception of fairness is important, and that this is a unique position because this is a search and an investigation involving a former president. here's one of the lines from her ruling. she says, as a function of plaintiff's former position as president of the united states, the stigma associated with the subject seizure is in a league of its own. a future indictment based any degree on property that ought to be returned would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude. and of course we're still waiting to see how the justice department is going to handle this. they said they were reviewing this ruling and considering their options. >> the ruling the judge also gave us a little more information on what was seized at mar-a-lago. what did we learn? >> reporter: she did. she pointed out there were medical records involved in this. there were accounting records.

there was tax correspondence, you know, potentially items that would not be relevant to this investigation. she also noted one of her concerns was that the investigative team had gotten access to two items that later were determined to fall under potentially some kind of a privilege. so she sort of used that as an indication that perhaps there needed to be more oversight and the filter team wasn't filtering everything out. >> what's the timeline here, sara? when will there be an actual special master? >> reporter: this is the big question, john, right? she gave both sides until friday, essentially saying, why don't you all work together, come up with a little of special master candidates, what their duties are going to be, how this person is going to be compensated and what a schedule would be. so we are waiting to see what comes out of those friday filings to get perhaps a better sense if we're looking at weeks, if we're looking at months. how long a review like this could take. >> the questions remain. sara murray, thank you very much. here to help make sense of judge cannon's ruling is former

federal judge nancy gertner. she's currently a senior lecturer at harvard law school. also with us, former federal prosecutor elie honig, and john yoo who teaches law and uc berkeley. e the trump team asked for this and they got what they asked for. definitionally, it's a legal win for them. what's your biggest takeaway from the ruling? >> well, john, it's secertainly legal win for trump, no question. he asked to have this judge insert a neutral third party independent arbiter to look through these to protect his rights and privileges, and now he has that. of course doj may appeal, but that's the status quo. people need to understand, though, ultimately while it's a win for trump, it's a procedural win. it does not prevent doj ultimately from charging or not charging or from gaining a conviction or not gaining a conviction. i think it's likely when this process is done, the number of documents that actually will be filtered out will be fairly small. and if they are filtered out, they'll be privileged, and doj

shouldn't be able to use them in the first place. so this is a win for donald trump. it's really more of a speed bump than a brick wall for doj, however. >> judge gertner, what do you think the process will look like? what questions do you have, and what do you think the timing will be? >> well, the problem here, it would be one thing if she said that the special master was to review attorney-client privilege. those are documents that are easier to figure out on their face, right? letters to and from an attorney, eas even personal items would be easy. executive privilege is an area in which absolutely no court has ever found like circumstances to qualify. one president, the former president telling the incumbent president, don't look at my documents even when president biden says, i need them for my core constitutional function. criminal investigation protecting classified information. so the notion that an

independent special master will be able to figure out the meets and bounds is ridiculous. attorney-client privilege is one thing, but you're asking a non-judge to make a fraught determination. >> john, you agree that the portions that deal with executive privilege are the issue of major substance to come from this ruling, though i get the sense you may have a different take on whether or not a special master can actually functionally take care of it. >> yes. i agree actually with most of what's been said. i think this is procedurally going to slow things down. it may put off any kind of charge, if there were going to be charges, by several weeks. but the major substantive issue is that this judge said a former president might be able to claim executive privilege against the incumbent, the current president, president biden.

that's something that the supreme court reserved just earlier this year in a case against president trump against the january 6th committee. it's an issue the supreme court reserved 40 years ago in a case called nixon v.gsa. i tend to agree with judge gertner. i don't think trump will win that one, but it's going to take months for that issue to get to the supreme court. this gives both sides some kind of space maybe to make this case go away and reach a deal so that we don't keep pressing forward on its own schedule to try to get to an indictment. >> elie, i've asked you this about 30 times in the last weeks here. say something is covered by executive privilege. that doesn't mean the documents aren't classified. that doesn't mean the documents don't deal with national offense. why would it mean, then, that they were allowed to be at the president's beach house? >> right. i don't think it would mean they're allowed to be at the president's beach house. i don't think even if a

documented is deemed to be executive privilege, i don't think the result of that is you walk it back to mar-a-lago and say, sorry we took it. it's covered by executive privilege. i think what it does mean is that document cannot be used by doj in its prosecution potentially of donald trump. and an important element of today's ruling, john, the judge has said doj, you cannot look at these documents for now. you have to stop your review of these documents. it doesn't mean doj has to stop all of its investigation. but also the judge was careful to say, you can continue to do your damage assessment as necessary. i think the judge tried to do her best to appease as many parties as possible. >> just a quick follow on that. doj can continue its investigation. they have established the fact of the documents being there, so they may have already gotten what they wanted from him. they ask for witnesses into how they got there, can't they? >> exactly. i think doj can and should be talking to witnesses, be reviewing the surveillance video. this does not mean a full stop

down to zero miles per hour on their investigation. they just have to stop looking at and reviewing those documents until the special master issue is resolved. >> judge gertner, how will a special master be chosen? this is something that could get complicated here because both sides have been ask the to more or less agree on this, right? >> right, which sounds like if they can't agree on what day it is, this is not going to be easy to do. both sides are supposed to give suggested people. the judge looks and can pick someone. there is, under the rules, a procedure if that person is found not to be impartial, then one side or the other can strike it. then there are -- they have to figure out what the charge -- what the scope of the special master's responsibilities are. then they have to figure out how much time. then they have to figure out who's going to pay him, how much he or she should be paid. ordinarily that's complicated enough. but as i said, this is complicated by giving this special master a responsibility

that the supreme court hasn't clarified, which is to determine what fits within executive privilege. i agree with your previous speakers, which i think investigation can certainly go on. the only issue is if, in fact, a grand jury has been impaneled, these documents can't be used before the grand jury. otherwise, the investigation can go on. >> so, john, you know the justice department doesn't like this ruling, and they said today they're considering their next legal options. what about an appeal? how much of a slam dunk is it that they would ask for an appeal here? >> i'm not sure that doj should ask for an appeal. you could almost say that the district judge here is doing doj something of a favor. this special master, i think, is probably likely to affirm a lot of what doj decided to do in terms of attorney-client privilege. it may actually bolster public faith and acceptance of the original search, which has been questioned by many people.

and also let me also say the other important thing is if doj's main task here, their main object was just to get the documents back, then having this special master here, not going for an appeal, maybe it's enough of a pause. the attorney general needs to consider in his prosecutorial discretion whether if you're going to go after president trump for a federal crime, is it going to be for mishandling classified documents? i think what they really want to do is investigate president trump for january 6th. they're still conducting an investigation. that's something i think is worthy of indictment of a former president. i'm not sure that indicting him for mishandling classified information is important enough to justify going after a former president. a special master might give you more time and space for both sides to realize that and come to sort of agreement to make this go away. >> elie, aside from that judgment, which is a value judgment, if doj did decide they were investigating this with the possibility of prosecuting it,

would asking for an appeal be in their best interest, elie? would you ask for an appeal here? >> it's a catch-22, john. if the big concern for doj is delay, an appeal is almost certainly likely to take more time than just the actual review by the special master. keep in mind we are in the 11th circuit court of appeals. it's widely known as the second or so most conservative of the 13 judicial circuits in the united states. and if you're doj and you appeal to the 11th circuit, if you win in the 11th circuit, then you can bet donald trump's going to try to get certiorari to the u.s. supreme court. now we're talking about months and months. so doj may make the calculation let's cut our losses. let's get this special master thing over and done with as quick as possible. >> thank you all so much for being with us. hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. >> thank you. >> thank you. you too.

president biden spent labor day on the campaign trail, first in milwaukee, then late today in west mifflin just outside pittsburgh. this was the president's third visit to pennsylvania in less than a week, just two days after the former president spoke on the other end of the state, calling his successor, quote, an enemy of the people and saying this about federal law enforcement. >> the fbi and the justice department have become vicious

monsters controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers, and the media, who tell them what to do -- you people right there -- and when to do it. the maga movement is the greatest in the history of our country. [ cheers and applause ] and maybe in the history of the world. maybe in the history of the world. >> today on his social network, he again called his election defeat into question. quoting him now, are they going to change the results of the 2020 presidential election? they should. now, as for the winner of that election, cnn's jeff zeleny has been traveling with president biden and joins us now. jeff, has president biden continued his message from last week, homing in on whom he calls maga republicans? >> reporter: john, he has. president biden seems to relish

in the fact that really drawing a contrast between the democratic party and a couple different republican parties. he referred to the maga party, if you will, of course the make america great again party, as not your father's republican party. he really talked about the contrasts. but he also seemed to soften some of his language and coarseness from last week, that speech in philadelphia and others when he really tried to lump republicans all in one basket. but clearly he's trying to draw that stark contrast between both parties now nine weeks before the election. >> you can't be a democracy when you support violence when you don't like the outcome of an election. you can't call yourself a democracy when you don't, in fact, count the votes that people legitimately cast and count that as who you are. you can't be a semiautdemocracy call yourself one if you continue to do what they're doing. folks, look, we have a choice.

trump and the maga republicans made their choice. we can choose to build a better america, or we can continue down this sliding path of oblivion to where we don't want to go. >> reporter: so really trying to draw a contrast between going forward versus going back. the voters he is talking to are some independent voters, not of course these hard core trump supporters that are with him through and through. but it is some of those voters in the middle who may have soured on the biden administration somewhat, but he's trying to open the door to get them to come back. we'll see how much that actually happens here. but, john, there is no doubt pennsylvania is still at the center of it all. >> oh, always at the center of it all. we did just hear what former president trump said, a little bit of what he said at his rally on saturday. what else did he talk about? >> reporter: well, john, he largely talked about himself. he spoke for about two hours at a rally in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania, and yes, he had other candidates up to speak. he mehmet oz, doug mastriano, a

few others. but during the bulk of his remarks, he talked about himself, familiar old grievances, not much about the future and certainly no ideas about the future direction of the maga movement. so simply, you know, a bit of the oldies if you will, and that's exactly what worries some republican leaders. when you talk to mitch mcconnell and other republican leaders, they think this election should be about joe biden. it should not be about donald trump. so tomorrow is the official two-month mark until the midterm elections. that is what really keeps republicans up at night, that this will all become about donald trump, and they believe it should be about joe biden and his administration. >> jeff zeleny in western pennsylvania, thank you very much. joining us now, cnn senior political analyst david gergen, who advised presidents in both parties dating back to the nixon administration. also with us tonight, cnn national security analyst a juliette kayyem. and cnn political commentator, scott jennings, former special

assistant to president george w. bush. david, we just heard from former president trump as he labeled the justice department and fbi, quote, vicious monsters. and he also called president biden an enemy of the state. is he making one of the points that president biden made on thursday night? is he making that point for him? >> well, i think -- listen, i think he's playing entirely for donald trump. what we're seeing from trump these days is he's going back to his classic strategy of deflect and delay. and he's using language in these speeches which are really hyper partisan speeches. he's using that to deflect. when you call somebody an enemy of the state, as he has done, that in effect in our country is regarded as treason. that's a charge of treason. normally in our politics, you don't go there. but if you go there, it deflects attention, as he wants to, from

biden and from his legal trouble. the other thing i think we're also seeing is the delay tactic. i think with a special master, the special master is a delay tactic. it could cause weeks and weeks. we're nine weeks away from the midterm elections, and if he could get the justice department to back away for nine weeks, no telling what could happen in the interim period. he could be in a much stronger position if republicans do really well in the midterms. so i think this deflect and delay is working although it promises a really terrible presidential election. >> scott, we have heard from both democrats and republican strategists quoted in the paper all weekend long, though, who suggest that donald trump fell into a trap that was set by president biden. is there any element, scott, that you see? >> well, it's not a trap that he fell into. it's a game that he wants to play. joe biden wants to put donald trump at the center of american politics, and donald trump wants to put donald trump at the center of american politics.

he's all too happy to oblige this strategy, and i do think the strategists you referenced are right because if this election is a referendum on trump and do we want to go back to trump and keep doing trump, then the democrats are going to do better than if it's a referendum on biden, who is struggling a little with his approval rating. so that's the democratic strategy. they know trump cannot resist taking this bait, and that's what he did at his rally. >> juliette, the day after the search at mar-a-lago, you wrote that as the former president's legal jeopardy deepens, he will, quote, in all likelihood try to raise the level of agitation in the days ahead. he knows how to use language that incites followers to violence without giving them specific instruction. to what extent do you see that happening here? >> it's exactly happening. you don't even have to guess anymore what donald trump is doing. i mean the targeting of law enforcement, the targeting of the enemies, the enemy of the state. we all know what he means by that, but more importantly, his

extreme followers -- i'm very clear here. his extreme followers, who do not believe in the peaceful transition of power, who believe violence is either a necessary or an acceptable extension of politics, that's what they're hearing as well. so he's elevating the dialogue. and where i think that this gets interesting -- i guess i would say -- from a counterradicalization. because the goal here is obviously to take violence out of debates, right? this is not the country that we want to be, is what president biden is doing and to a certain extent what liz cheney also is doing is trying to provide an off-ramp to people and say, look, what trump is now is so toxic, is so akin to violence, is so against the peaceful transfer of power, and don't believe me. believe him. this is what he's telling you. and i think it's just -- it's a sophisticated play. it's difficult to measure. but i think that this is the only thing left to try to do

what the republican party has been unwilling to do so far, which is to isolate donald trump, not treat him like voldemort and just say, look, we can rid ourselves of this problem if only we were unified in doing so. >> so, david, president biden -- >> john, can i respond to that last point? >> sure. >> yeah, because i think some of what juliette said is true but the last point she made about republicans being unwilling to rid the nation of donald trump, now, thursday night joe biden gave a speech which he thought was very important, warning us all about the ultra maga candidates and what they represent as a threat to american democracy. then friday morning we all woke up to the news that senate democrat leader, the majority leader's super pac is spending over $3 million in new hampshire to get the most ultra maga candidate the nomination for that senate race there. it's played out in maryland, pennsylvania, michigan, colorado. state after state, the democrats are spending more money to get

ultra maga republicans' nominations than donald trump is even spending. so i think it's a little hollow to say it's all republican responsibility when the democratic party is essentially not putting its money where joe biden's mouth is. >> juliette, you want to respond quickly to that? >> yeah. the political tactics, i don't know if they're going to work or not. i think it's just not -- i think it's disingenuous, scott, to say that what the democratic party is clearly trying to do by supporting these extreme maga republicans is to simply put a mirror to what has happened to your party, which is you're not getting rid of these people. i know you don't believe that this is the party. and so the democratic party is trying whatever tactic it can. i don't know if it's going to work. i don't know if i support it. but i think it's just sort of apples and oranges. donald trump is the leader of the republican party right now. so these millions of dollars being spent here and there pale in comparison to the leader of your party right now. >> david, let me let you get into this discussion and let me

take it to a slightly different place, which is president biden and the white house insist that he's not talking about all republicans. he is trying to draw a distinction between what he calls the maga republicans and republicans that president biden says that he's working with. do you think that this differentiation that he's trying to make -- do you think it is getting through? >> not very well so far. but it's not to say that it can't change. listen, i think one of the striking things has been how biden's numbers have not really improved dramatically to accompany, you know, the victories he's had, the accomplishments he's had. so he's down still around 42% if you look at an average of the polls, and that really suggests that a lot of democrats are not coming over and a lot of independents are not yet coming over. over time, especially if trump, you know, continues, i think, to be red hot and people just get exhausted and want to get him

the hell off the stage, then things may change. but right now i would say that, you know, the public support for biden is sort of a lagging indicator. it's not a leading indicator anymore. it's what we're going to be seeing unfold over time if it works out for him. but trump is the master of knowing how to take impossible situations and moving them in his direction. so i think this is going to be a long, long campaign. it's obviously going to be a brawl. i don't think it's going to be edifying. and whether it helps the country as the leader of the world, i'd be interested in juliette on that. >> david, i think your microphone is falling off. we'll let you fix that for a second there. scott, let me just ask you, david referred earlier to the special master. that's a legal decision. but i am wondering if one of the effects is to delay or draw out the circus surrounding the search of mar-a-lago. if that might be a double-edged

sword for republicans. >> well, i'm not sure how it's going to impact the midterm. i worry more about if this case continues and continues and continues and it ever leads to indictments or, you know, some lengthy investigation, i mean as soon as the midterms are over, as far as i'm concerned, we're in the presidential cycle at that point. so if donald trump announces for president and they have this investigation going on, it's tricky, i think, for the biden administration and for doj at that point to be investigating a presidential candidate that they're obviously already looking into now. i don't know what the ultimate effect of that would be, but i do think it's a tricky situation, obviously something we've not really faced before as a country. >> thank you all so much for being with us. i hope you all had a kwufl holiday weekend. tonight, the desperate search continues for a missing teacher in memphis. police say she's the victim of a violent abduction and was kidnapped when she went for a run. a suspect is in custody, but she is still missing. the latest developments ahead.

in memphis, tennessee, the search is on for a missing teacher and mother. police say eliza fletcher is the victim of a violent abduction. according to investigators, she was forced into an suv during a jog on friday morning and remains missing. a man is charged in connection with her abduction. he is accused of especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. gary tuchman joins us now from memphis with new developments, i understand, gary. what's happening? >> reporter: that's right, john. within the last 20 minutes, memphis police have informed us they have found a, quote, deceased party three blocks behind us here in the south memphis neighborhood south of the city. we must emphasize, deceased party, they have not identified that body. we do not know if it's eliza fletcher. we do not know how long it will take to know, but that's just

happened within the last 20 minutes. there are scores of police officers here, scores of police cars, a police helicopter fly ago ing above us. a police officer told me they received a solid tip that a body might be here. but he also said, we don't know if it's her body. either way, it's tremendously sad. eliza fletcher was kidnapped early friday morning when she was jogging right by the campus of the university of memphis. she liked to jog. she liked to jog early in the morning when it was dark. she was kidnapped by a man who has now been arrested and charged with the kidnapping, but he wasn't talking. so police still had to look for this woman, see where she was, and hope beyond hope that she was alive. but right now we just don't know. it's a sad and traumatic story. the 34-year-old mother of two was out for an early morning jog on friday, something she regularly does, when she disappeared. surveillance video shows a black suv pass her by, stop, and then a man gets out of the vehicle and, quote, ran aggressively

toward her. he can be seen forcing her into the suv. the vehicle remained in the parking lot for about four minutes before driving away. police arrested 38-year-old cleotha abston in connection with eliza fletcher's disappearance. he's now charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. the criminal complaint affidavit obtained by cnn says the arrest comes after u.s. marshals tracked down the suv, a gmc terrain seen in surveillance video. the affidavit said there appeared to be a struggle between the two before the suspect drove away. u.s. marshals found the gmc terrain near abston's home. the vehicle had the same damage and partial license plate seen in the surveillance footage according to the affidavit. in addition, the attacker left behind a pair of sandals at the crime scene. the affidavit reveals law enforcement was able to obtain dna from those sandals, which helped them identify and arrest abston. also in the affidavit, a witness said she saw abston at his brother's house after the abduction, behaving oddly as he washed his clothing in the sink

mounted police, damien sanderson, one of the men charged with multiple crimes in the case, was found dead. this comes after authorities say the attack left at least 10 dead and 18 wounded across multiple locations in an indigenous community and the surrounding area in saskatchewan. canadian prime minister justin trudeau says flags will be flown at half-staff in memory of those who died. cnn's paula newton joins me now live from ottawa. paula, what's the latest? >> reporter: yeah, john. the latest raising more questions tonight. as you said, one suspect now found dead. and while that brings some measure of relief to the people that have been so affected by this, keep in mind they are describing this, john, as a massacre. these were stabbings, and so at this hour right now, with police saying that the other suspect is still at large and dangerous, as i say, residents looking for so many more answers. listen. police say the stabbing rampage

began in the pre-dawn hours sunday in an indigenous community in central saskatchewan. at 5:40 a.m. sunday morning and for several minutes afterward, police say they received reports of multiple stabbings in several locations in james smith cree nation. by 7:12 a.m., saskatchewan law enforcement issued a dangerous persons alert, telling residents to shelter in place. later that hour, they identified the suspects as brothers damien sanderson and myles sanderson. by 8:30 a.m., the manhunt was extended by hundreds of miles. and at 9:45 a.m., police alerted that there was at least one stabbing victim in the neighboring village of weldon, and that some victims were randomly attacked. >> i was thinking that could have been me. they could have killed me. i don't know why they did this. they took innocent people's lives. they shattered this community.

>> reporter: by 12:07 p.m. in regina, saskatchewan, a 3 1/2 hour drive away, police say they had a credible tip that the suspects were in the city, driving a black nissan rogue. but then the trail goes cold. police appeal to the public once again, and late monday announce that damien sanderson has been found dead, but myles sanderson is still at large. >> i think the most recent reliable information we have says that he is in regina or was in regina, the most recent. that most recent information is a day old. we acknowledge that, but we have nothing that can tell us differently. >> reporter: crucially, police also say damien sanderson 'wounds were not believed to be self-inflicted, and his body was found in the community of james smith cree nation, the scene of the first attacks. despite an expanded search, myles sanderson remains on the run. police are telling all residents in saskatchewan to remain vigilant and that the suspect is

dangerous and has an extensive criminal record. the tight-knit indigenous community is devastated by these vicious attacks that has now shattered so many lives. >> it affects everybody from james smith, whether you're -- they're all a part of family, you know. i have a niece was killed, first cousin was killed, you know. so how -- how do you speak on that? how do you respond? >> reporter: canadian prime minister justin trudeau said his government is marshaling resources to the communities but conceded how unnerving this savage crime has been. >> sadly over these past years, tragedies like these have become all too commonplace. saskatchewanians and canadians will do what we always do in times of difficulty and anguish. we'll be there for each other.

>> paula newton is back with us. paula, what else are canadian officials saying about the suspect who is still on the run? >> reporter: well, you heard there that he had a criminal record and has been involved in violent crime. but the crucial pieces of information are also involved. his condition, is myles sanderson injured? has he been looking for help? has he already gotten help? as you say there, police in regina still believe that that is the best lead that they have. and yet they're wondering if there was someone else in the car spotted with him, is he getting help? and that's why again and again, hour after hour, john, we continue to hear from police that they want people to come forward who may know him, who may have known him, anyone who has any information about this. this is the second terrifying night for so many people in those communities. look, it's a warm late summer night. people are not opening their windows. they are shutting down for the evening and hoping and praying that the next few hours will

bring them more relief and that police find myles sanderson. >> one more night with a suspected mass killer on the loose. paula newton, thank you so much. the united kingdom is set to usher in its new prime minister, liz truss, who is taking over after boris johnson was booted from downing street. the latest from london next. you report to o your boss, every afternoon. so beautififul. so becoming a student again might seem impossible. but what if a school could be there for all of you? career, family, finances and mental health. well, it can. national university, supporting the whole you. i recommend nature made vitamins because i trust their quality. they were the first to be verified by usp... ...an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards nature made. the number one pharcist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.

oxford university. she was a liberal democrat activist in favor of legalizing cannabis and abolishing the monarchy. >> abolish them. we've had enough. >> reporter: now she's the darling of the right wing of britain's conservatives, the pro-monarchy party of law and order, quite the 180. >> i think she fought a good campaign, and i'm not surprised she's being voted in. >> nothing will change. >> she's going to help with energy costs, living costs. that's what we really need. >> reporter: truss inherits a nightmare, war in europe, a biting cost of living crisis, the country braced for a winter of potential blackouts and fuel poverty. britain is desperately hoping she'll leverage her ambition and adaptability to rise to the challenge. it's nearly 2:00 a.m. in the morning here, john, so later today, around midday, boris

johnson will visit the queen's estate in scotland to formally resign. he'll be followed shortly after liz truss, who will be appointed prime minister. she will fly back to westminster, the heart of london, where she will give her first speech to the country outlining her plans ahead. what she must be most nervous about is prime minister's questions on wednesday. she'll be facing a far more experienced and seasoned opponent. and everyone on the bench is behind her, john. we'll be watching and waiting to see whether or not they think they've made the right choice. >> i'm sure you will be there. thank you so much for your report. up next, the record of the titanic like you've never seen it before. thousands of mud-chugging options. it was just so easy to find a cacar within my budget. i'm just happy i was able to pick this baby. good on ya! we'll drive you happy at carvana. new astepro allergy. now available without a prescription. astepro is the first
