10:00 pm
hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. >> but two, astronomical could have itself a new billion. it has reached a billion, dollars second time in streets in that high. nobody, once the drawing for
10:01 pm
once they will increase to 1.2 billion dollars. now if you doing tonight, take the cash, but it's only worth about half a billion dollars. still pretty good money. the news continues, time now for jake tapper and cnn tonight. >> welcome to cnn, tonight i'm jake tapper in washington. tonight, new horrific details are emerging about the attempted violent attack against house speaker nancy pelosi. the one that ended with the wounding and hospitalization of her husband paul pelosi. electric violent intruder is now facing federal charges for breaking into the pelosi's home and beating all posting. with a hammer. early friday morning. a federal criminal complaint released day reveals that the suspect to be trafficked online in far-right conspiracy theories about covid and the 20 coming election and holocaust denialism quote, stated that he was going to hold nancy hostage and talk to her. if nancy what to tell the truth
10:02 pm
he would let her go if she lied, he was going to break your kneecaps. also explained that by breaking nancy's kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into congress, which would show other members of congress that there were consequences to actions on quote. several prominent republicans have condemned the attack, including today donald trump. >> with paul pelosi, that is a terrible thing. it's a terrible thing. >> from quickly pivoted to attacking san francisco for diagram right but he at least did condemn the attack on paul pelosi. house republican leader kevin mccarthy. >> on a beaver for quickly, violence or threats of violence that is not threaten society. what happened to paul pelosi is wrong. >> as did senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. quote he is horrified and disgusted by the reports that paul pelosi was assaulted. but you know what? far too many republicans and conservative leaders are out there. instead spreading insane
10:03 pm
offensive and false conspiracy theories. such as the complete and utter lie, a deranged smear that paul pelosi and the attacker, the man who hit him in the head with a hammer, or any sexual relationship. to his 8.7 million twitter followers,, donald trump jr. shared an image of a hammer and a pair of underwear that had the caption, got my paul pelosi halloween costume ready. also posted something out which he quickly deleted. a south park cow or tune image. supposedly of pelosi and the guy who hit him with the hammer having sex. you know what? when some sick moran sent a white powder to the home of donald trump junior in 2018, sending his then wife vanessa to the hospital as a precaution. i was awful. why is this happening too far pelosi, not the same thing. even worse.
10:04 pm
it is hard to fathom the kind of mind, that a tragedy, what happened to 82-year-old paul pelosi and decides to traffic in this filth. but sadly donald trump jr. is hardly along. former republican congressman and chairman of the house intelligence committee devin nunes who now runs trump's social media company truth social. shared this following image with the words that at least this guy has his clothes on. nunes also posted this meme using a poster for the gay romantic comedy pros. twisting it into a syrian pelosi and again, a man who tried to bash pelosi's head in with a hammer. words fail. republican congressman clay higgins of louisiana tweeted, then deleted this, which was captured by voice of america's steve hartman. a photo of proceed with the words, the moment you realize nudist iffy male prostitute lst got was the reason your husband
10:05 pm
didn't make it to your fund-raiser. i mean what is wrong with these people? >> there is, more but you get the point. in addition to being an inhuman and inhumane response to a tragedy, it's a lie. the federal affidavit released says pelosi did not know the suspect. and san francisco police chief bill scott said this on cnn this afternoon. >> there is absolutely no evidence that mr. pelosi knew this man. matter-of-fact, evidence indicates the opposite. >> sadly, in this era of social media, after every tragedy like this unfortunately seen some awful reactions. i don't care officials fired after saying he was glad republican leader steve scalise was shot by a deranged bernie sanders supporter in 2017. same, you some pretty awful comments on social media after
10:06 pm
republican senator rand paul's neighbor attacked him, breaking six of his ribs, bruising his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe. sending rand paul to the hospital. and three years later, commenting on a controversy involving senator paul. one of speaker pelosi's daughter, tweeting that rand paul's neighbor was right. she then deleted it. all these comments on unequivocally wrong, but these smears about paul pelosi, they are not just evidence of partisanship blocking someone's ability to be human, they are conspiratorial, they are in a way an attempt to not just downplay but justify the violence. they're part of the same stigma. that got paul pelosi enter to begin with. some of these insane conspiracy theories about paul pelosi are still trending on twitter. under the new billionaire owner elon musk.
10:07 pm
we should note that mosque incel sent a tweet that pushed this false smear of pelosi. responding to a tweet from hillary clinton in which she condemned the attack as inspired by hateful rhetoric, elon musk, who has more than 110 million followers on twitter wrote quote, there might be more to the story than meets the eye unquote. and then shared a link to an extreme right wing website. a site so deranged that it claimed into 1:16 that hillary clinton had died. and a body double had been sent to debate donald trump. here is what elon locke said in april about what he wants twitter to be. >> we want to be just very reluctant to delete things. and be very cautious with permanent bans. it is very important for there to be and inclusive arena for
10:08 pm
free speech. twitter has become kind of the de facto town square. >> there is a vast difference between elon musk wanting twitter to lean more into the freest speech pasco and jan musk himself abusing those free speech rights by smearing people. with a complete and utter lack of caution. there is such a thing as empirical truth and it is not to be found at the website that reported hillary clinton did six years ago. national security experts have been warning for years that we in the united states need to fear terrorism. in case you are not familiar with the term, it's defined as the public demonization of the person or group that results in the incitement of a violent act. even without expressed borders. to attack that person or group. when leaders, whether elected
10:09 pm
or in media or a movement, when leaders claim their opponents are pedophiles. or satanists, or part of a grand conspiracy to hurt you and your family, is anyone really surprised when somebody who hears this acts? what exactly do you think is going to happen when a president for months lies to his supporters that an election is being stolen? what exactly do you think is going to happen once more artists invent a deranged conspiracy theory about hillary clinton and her campaign? and non existent child sex operations at the basement of a very real family pizzeria. you know what happens? a guy with a gun dress from north carolina to that pizzeria.
10:10 pm
>> i hope all of these people fanning the flames of this conspiracy will take a moment to contemplate what has gone on here today. and maybe stop. >> what exactly do you think is going to happen when politicians and tv anchors push the great replacement theory, ideas that jews want to replace whites in america with latinos and people of color. you know what happens? the deranged conspiracy theory inspires the antisemitic attacks and pittsburgh. the anti latino attacks in el paso. you racist buffalo supermarket shooting. >> very difficult laying eyes on the person who shot your mother down in a grocery store. >> paul pelosi to his attacker was not a grandfather or a father or a husband or a businessman. he was an enemy. well speaking today on the investigation into the attack, san francisco police chief posed an important question for all of us as americans.
10:11 pm
>> what does it take? does it take somebody being murdered? what does it take for us to finally stand up and say this is enough. it needs to stop. despite your political views, it needs to stop. >> it's not just folks in the political arena playing fast and loose with these dangerous ideas, take communist, now known as you, his response to criticism of his many antisemitic comments has been to make more of them. a recent tirade against quote, jewish business people got him suspended from instagram again last night. and alarmingly, a lot of people out there on social media taking ye's side in this. nba star kyrie irving of the brooklyn nets, he recently tweeted a link to a widely debunked antisemitic movie, full of lies and just trunk. he was not apologetic at all a saturday press conference. >> they're saying being posted every day.
10:12 pm
the next human being doesn't have 4.6 million twitter followers. at a time of rising antisemitic violence. missing in their hearts and lives, that they feel the need to smear individuals or groups, to ignore the humanity of these other people. but in one way, kyrie irving is t. he might have a larger platform, but in this moment, we all need to consider how we talk about our fellow humans. we will pick it up on the other side with a candidate vying to need america's second largest city of los angeles, democrat rick caruso, once a republican, does he think america can get past this poison that has been injected to our politics? that is next.

10:18 pm
us to visit places such as california. are you sensing, that there is an increase probability ever a public wave. that democrats are having a tough time. or is los angeles amin from the zeitgeist, the wave that a lot of pollsters say is building for the republican party and against immigrants? >> jake, thank you for having me on the show. i can't really comment on that for the following reason. i've been spending gets so focused on what's happening in los angeles. and not really focused on what's happening nationally. i know the focus on being around every corner of the city is about homelessness. and crime, corruption, and that's what i'm talking to residents about. so, we're gonna stay focused for the next seven or eight
10:19 pm
days on that. and we'll see what the rest of the country does down the road. but at, liza unique place right now. we have some serious problems that we gotta take care of. i'm excited about having the opportunity to lead that change. >> let's talk about, that you talk about homelessness, drugs, crime. six hours north of you, a man who reportedly at least at some point, had been dealing with homelessness, drug addiction. he broke into the home of how speaker pelosi. which a lot of individuals highlights the issues of homelessness, crime, drugs playing that city as well as los angeles, your city. over the last two years, homelessness has risen by more than 4%, prime is trending upwards, murders up 65%, robberies rising 15. 9%. what can be done to counter this trend? >> well, first of all, to the pelosi family. it's terrible what happened. and i pray for the speedy recovery of mr. pelosi. in terms of los angeles, it's about leadership.
10:20 pm
it's about making some good, smart, tough decisions. it's that the system is broken here in los angeles, it's also we've had corruption and the system. and that's fueling what's happening with the homeless problem. we're not taking care of it in spite of the fact that we're spending a billion dollars a year, we being the city of los angeles. so, the system isn't working. and -- murders alone is up 50% in two years. and people don't feel safe in their communities. so, we gotta do some things that prevent crime. and make sure we're making community safer, i've experienced doing. that i want to bring that experience to the mayors of. as i've experienced building. we need to build more housing. we're so short of housing in los angeles, 500,000 units. we're over regulated, lake it difficult to reject, build the city of los angeles.
10:21 pm
we need to give the homeless a path to a better life. with compassion, dignity, care, but they need to be taken off the story. and then they need to be given the services they made. psychiatric service, drug addiction services, there is a path forward -- i have fashion my plans after those programs. they have a 90% success rate. of people not falling back into homelessness once they're treated properly. >> so, viewing congresswoman bass, your opponent, you say a lot of similar things when it comes to your visions on crime, public safety, police, saying they need to cut through the red tape. to build more housing, you both resisted calls to cut the lapd's nearly 300 billion dollar budget. you've advocated for hiring more gang intervention workers, sending an of professionals to calls involving mentally ill people. the big people, it seems to me, is that she has experience working within a system. and to be candid, it isn't exactly the strong -- in america. and you have more experience as,
10:22 pm
do as i say, ceo. so, why would you be better? >> well, let me -- if you don't mind. respectfully, aj. i worked for three mayors in the city of los angeles. tom bradley, as a commissioner, jack reardon, and jim hunt. on the only candidate, the only person that's been responsible for the operation of lapd when i was the president of the police commission. i brought a new leadership, bread brought -- a crime by 30%. by community policing. officers on the street. so, i know what to do. it characters city of los angeles. i've been inside city government. i've been outside and demand is this ranch. i have a track record of success. you need to be an executive, the day i or karen takes office,
10:23 pm
about 30 days after the election. you're gonna be responsible. the mayor will be responsible for an 11 billion dollar budget. 50 separate departments. 80,000 employees. if you have no experience in an executive for managing, you're gonna be lost. we're gonna get more of the same. we've had that for the past ten years. >> but up a bass supporter might say, it's not a ceo job, the meteorology. it's a job where you need to convince people. because it's not a strong mayor alecky. >> that's my track record. i built my business. i'd never be able to do in los angeles what i've done without finding common ground and working with everybody and bringing communities together. i would never have been able to reform lapd. and if i have that skill set. i've actually done it, in the city of los angeles, through the government enterprise. that's why i'm uniquely qualified. that's why i'm excited about this job. i know i can do. and i've done it before. and there's great hope and possibility in this city. change can happen. >> record is so, thank you for joining us. the appreciated. >> thank you, jake. >> one might kitty litter boxes have to do with the fate of american democracy? our country is literally going
10:24 pm

10:28 pm
it was a conspiracy theory that are a lot of republican candidates, just can't. shape latest purveyor of this insanity, is don, ill-equipped summit nominee. of new hampshire. >> guess what, we have threes imtiaz a's in the audience. -- , they know what it's like to putting in litter boxes right, you, that are concerned about selling germs that get children lick themselves -- , they're trying to look each other. . i mean, why. this is needless to say, nonsense. and not only isn't it a lion, urban legend, it's one that's chaired in the service of let's be honest, advocating for being cruel to trans kids. in any case, fact-checker's four major outlets have repeatedly, looked into this and found no evidence for it, they've shot it down andrew
10:29 pm
kansas city joins me now. andrew -- people continue to spew this nonsense. how to become a republican talking point? >> yeah, so fuzzies in furries, is what he said, it's basically as you said, it is false claim that kids are addressing up as cats, using litter boxes in schools. we saw bullock go further there. and say kids were jumping out, hissing at each other, and licking each other. look, flurries are a real subculture, people will go to conventions, those sometimes dresses animals, there's no litter boxes, there is no litter boxes at the convention, there's no litter boxes in the schools. people at home, aren't asking themselves where did this even come. from -- at the end of 2021. let's take a listen to what was said there.
10:30 pm
>>, it was addressed by a child, a couple months ago. that they're putting an environment where there are kids that are identify as a free, i catalog, whatever. so, yesterday i heard at least one of our schools in our town has -- a litter box for the kids that identify as cats. i'm really disturbed by that. i will do some more investigation on that. i know what's going on nationwide. i know it's part of the agenda that we've pushed. >> now look, this claim did not really go viral until about a month later, when the chairwoman of the michigan republican party, shared it on our facebook page. and then from there, we saw various conservative influencers, media personalities share at
10:31 pm
themselves. it's taken off from their. >> the new hampshire republican senate nominee is the latest republican candidate to say this. we've heard it from before, take a listen. >> litter boxes in some of the school districts. so kids can pm, as they identify -- with >> not many people know that we have flurries in schools. kids identifying as cats. it sounds ridiculous. but it's happening all over colorado. schools are tolerating it. >> so, these are the republican gubernatorial nomination in minnesota, and colorado. what's the thinking behind pushing this nonsense. obviously, it's anti-trans, is it helping them politically. >> yeah, you hit the point right there. which is republicans basically see this as a way to say, look how ridiculous and the democrats are when it comes to things like gender identity, a transgender students. and this instance, themselves,
10:32 pm
they look ridiculous themselves. >> andra kaczynski, thanks for that fact-check. we appreciate it. coming, up is another landmark supreme court decision about to fall. justices are now weighing in, ending affirmative action in college admissions. our decades of precedent about to be overturned began. next. ly a special moment to know that i had a family member who over a hundred years prior have walk these grounds.

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 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.

10:35 pm
10:36 pm
big day at the u.s. supreme court today. arguments indicating another decade long precedent could soon be overturned. this time it's affirmative action. for nearly five hours, justices heard arguments on two cases
10:37 pm
concerning race conscious admissions divisions at harvard, and north carolina. the conservative majority appeared skeptical of affirmative action. they questioned how diverse classrooms, to education. >> i've heard the word, diversity quite a few times. i don't have a clue what it means. >> racing itself may be considered a factor. yes your honor. for those that don't get the plus factor have what is essentially a negative factor. >> three liberal justices seem to disagree. they argued universities are looking at students as a whole. and they suggest that without affirmative action minority
10:38 pm
enrollment will drop. >> first of all, the university is not requiring anybody to give their race at the beginning. when you give your race, you're not getting any special polite. no one's automatically getting in because race is being used. >> can you point into the record, where merely checking the box, standing alone as one factor, got somebody in? >> i thought that part of what it meant to be in america, and to believe in american
10:39 pm
pluralism, is actually our institutions are reflective of who we are as a people, in all our variety. >> with me now, attorneys who argued in favor of affirmative action in front of the court today. david in alyssa, david, thanks for joining us today. thank you for your first argument ahead of the supreme court, it must be a highlight for an attorney. how do you think your arguments received. it seems as though, not just after today's arguments, but what i've been reading from colleges, universities all over the country.
10:40 pm
they think that this court is going to california to action matter where? >> we've seen this a few times over the last 20 years. when people thought affirmative action would be reversed at the university of texas, austin. the university of michigan, nearly 20 years ago. they had two cases, the court actually upheld, race conscious admissions. it seems everybody as dooming gloom around these issues. what ultimately ends up prevailing, is the the reasonableness of the law and race conscious admissions as one way of helping underrepresented students of color access higher education. these are highly talented students of color. who are often overlooked in the normal admissions process. we feel very confident, even
10:41 pm
after today, we see all the headlines. but judges have tough questions. it's the reason why we have oral arguments. >> one of the key arguments today from conservatives, one line of tough questioning, is that defenders of affirmative action such as yourself, and college admissions cannot articulate a specific and point. take a listen. >> i don't see how you can say that the point will ever end. what's your goal, and how will the court ever be able to determine whether you're goal has been reached? >> i gather, justice alito saying, when does it end, what is your -- when will you know? >> as you know, better than i. -- in 1978 quote, we expected 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences won't be necessary to further the interest approved today.
10:42 pm
or six year shy of justice o'connor is 25 year goal. how long do you think affirmative action should continue? >> it was an aspirational goal. it was in a hard deadline set no matter what the discussion lines leading to that. you could easily read o'connor 's opinion. and it's no hard sunset. it's trying to hope for the better of america. and we actually hope that we would be there. in 25 years. racial inequality persists intern ways. especially in our k-12 systems.
10:43 pm
, and we're not gonna be quite there yet, as the attorneys for the university sure today. we do know, what that and point is. we know that that and point is whether they're able to achieve the educational benefits of diversity. the university -- it's holding within their responsibility and rights. it's to identify what those goals are. they're measuring their progress towards those goals. in the meantime, once they identify a race neutral alternatives. some other mechanism like a
10:44 pm
percentage plan, or mixture, recruitment, scholarship, where they don't consider somebody's race as one factor among several. that's the end point that will happen. it's gonna happen on a case by case basis. every university sets their goals. they have measurements, those measurements can be challenged. they weren't challenge in this case by the petitioner. most of the arguments of the race, are in their -- not in the evidentiary record. -- >> justice kavanaugh argue that there's better ways to achieve diversity at university. take a listen. >> it would be permissible for the court to say, that you have to eliminate things like legacy, children of donors, if you could obtain a sufficient diversity goal. -- by doing so, and doing race neutral admissions. do i have that correct? >> well kavanaugh seems to be saying, is collagen universities could stop admitting legacy universities, and children of donors, which often benefits white students. and then that would help achieve diversity without taking race into account. what do you make of that argument? >> wow, there's a couple of things, they're, won it all depends on how many of an impact that's having. how much of an impact does it matter whether or not you're the descendant of an alumni. if it's not making too much impact, look at the university of north carolina, the expert had analyze this and said, legacy admissions actually aren't making much of a difference. so, if you turn off legacy admissions, you're not going to end up with all the seats that become available who's gonna grab those seats anyway. are there gonna be other white applicants, who have been able
10:45 pm
to push up their test scores, artificially through test perhaps, and that sort of thing. or are you actually get to capture real, racial diversity, so it all depends on what universities are doing. not everyone giving bumps to donors and the like. and, so again, unfortunately the case by case basis. that's how and why they should not, these cases should not be ruled within and across the board act to affirmative action. >> quickly, if you could, there are other methods suggested as well. when i heard before was look at sub codes. so, you can take kids from predominately black are latino neighborhoods. or social economic challenge neighborhoods, et cetera. and that might do the same thing, except it's not taking race into account. is that viable? >> so, why, and it's mostly theoretical, the experts in the un case that actually looked at geographic diversity, and it still wasn't beaten the levels. -- >> in part, because of that. but also, you're looking at a broad spectrum of diversity. you want viewpoints, diversity points, diverse experiences, geography. all sorts of different
10:46 pm
diversity metrics that common. so, you don't necessarily want solely, all the poor, black, and brown children. to come in. that's just gonna feed into the stereotypes. that universities are trying to fend off. you want that inter racial diversity. because he wanted a broader perspective. broader experiences. sometimes supposedly, they look good on paper like zip codes. they don't actually work in reality and practice when you look at broader scopes of diversity. >> david, you know you got a long day, thank you so much. congratulations, on your supreme court case. it's gotta be professional -- >> absolutely, thank you so much. >> we often talk about american history to help with the president contacts. i take a fascinating look with dr. -- caverns, joining us as we go back in time for some amazing photograph he's compiled, including one of an america first rally how long before donald trump was even born. that's next. ♪ ♪
