9:01 pm
we begin with breaking news, florida governor ron desantis announcing on twitter that he is running for president. but the live stream events with elon musk do not go according to plan. it was plagued with technical problems and delayed for nearly 30 minutes. if you tuned in when it was supposed to start you would've heard silence, and then after about 12 minutes of that, you would have heard this. >> so, let's see. >> keeps crashing, ha? >> i think we've got a massive number of people online. so services are straining. >> that was elon musk saying that the servers are straining somewhat. then there was silence again. the former president is already mocking the governor's debut. still a statesman thing i'm comparable silences, glitches, a complete failure to launch, and that's just the candidate. jessica dean joins us now from miami. last night of the program we talked about how a live event on twitter with elon musk could either be compelling or a train
9:02 pm
wreck. it certainly started out pretty badly. what exactly happened? >> anderson, people tuned in at six p. m., just like they have been told to do and as you just let everyone here, there were a number of glitches that went on for some 20, 30 minutes before they were able to finally get the ship righted, as it were, and allow governor desantis to allow that he is running to president, which is what he was there to do. they had tried to pick this unconventional way of doing it. of course that comes with risks. watch this. >> do you go with the crowd, or do you look at the data yourself and cut against the grain? i too's to do the. latter >> foreign former governor ron desantis trying to declare his prayers aim for presidency on twitter, played by technical issues at the start. >> keeps crashing, right? >> a massive number of people
9:03 pm
online. services are trainings. >> serve issues caused the rollout to be played with problems, with team desantis saying queen, we broke the internet was so much excitement. while you are awaiting, donate now. >> we must look forward, not backwards. we need the courage to lead, and we must have the strength to win. >> desantis also asked about the naacp issuing a travel advisory against his state, claiming florida is not safe for minorities to visit. >> claiming that florida is unsafe is a total fires. i mean, are you kidding me? >> wednesday's twitter event, the latest move in desantis's presidential campaign rollout. he filed paperwork earlier wednesday with the federal
9:04 pm
election commission. on tuesday desantis's wife casey tweeted a hype video encouraging supporters to sign up for campaign updates. >> america has been worth it. every single time. >> desantis jumps in the republican primary following months of speculation about the florida governor's political future. a national book tour and visits to keen khamenei ten states. >> i have only begun to fight. >> as a republican primary fight intensifies, a new cnn poll shows former president donald trump leading the gop field with roughly doubled the support of desantis and no other candidate in double figures. but the survey also finds the republican field to be far from settled. more than eight in ten of those polled said they either support or say they are open to considering either trump or desantis. >> we have to reject the culture of losing that has infected our party in recent years. we have no more time for excuses. >> desantis and trump have appeared to be on a collision course for months, with the former president launching repeated attacks against the florida governor. >> he's very low and crashing. he's crashing and burning. >> but desantis has been intentional in not directly
9:05 pm
attacking trump, instead using his speeches around the country to draw a contrast. >> i don't have time for drama. i don't have time for palace intrigue. i want to make sure that we are executing the agenda. and you know what has happened over the last four years? we don't have leaks, we don't have drama. all we do is get the job done, day after day. >> what comes next for the governor's campaign? >> we're here in miami, that's because he's going to gather his biggest donors and bundlers their, they're gonna talk tomorrow. he's got an unprecedented number in his war chest, 100 million dollars. they're hoping to meet most of this rollout and go on a fund raising with after this. that's what they will be working on tomorrow. and then to see him hit the camp rain trail fairly quickly and pretty aggressively. probably in the next several days. it would be expected that we would see him out there campaigning, really launching this effort. and worth noting as well, anderson, i reached out to one of his people who, i asked them what their reaction was to the glitches, to people who were pointing to all the problems, to the rivals pointing the problems with the launch this evening, and they said this is a groundbreaking announcement, and an internet breaking excitement. >> thank you.
9:06 pm
our senior reporter is here and also white house former white house communications director. political commentator van jones, former adviser to president obama. alyssa, you had said this morning on cnn that you woul d rather be it would either be brilliant or disastrous. >> seems like more of the. latter listen, when you're doing these campaign launches, months of planning goes in. calms team, to dance teams, they pinpoint every single detail to make you look presidential. and frankly, the first thing you should do is do no harm. the tech side, harm was done. it was an odd presidential platform, to have him with two other people talking amongst each other. >> also no looking. >> yes you're only hearing. >> so it came off that he was a top radio host, not a future
9:07 pm
leader of the free world. i think was a total miscalculation by his team. his remarks off the top or perfectly decent. he could've given them an arena with the crowd, and i think that would've been much stronger than this, which was frankly a debacle. >> president biden trolled governor desantis during the glitches. he tweeted this lake works. former president trump also rattling in this. what did you think of it? also it was a lot about twitter and about elon musk, less so much about ron desantis. >> a weird way to start your campaign. already bowing down to technology, wealth, power. this is not a populist campaign. he's sitting there, and by the way, twitter trying to get involved in social audio, chasing clubhouse, failing. it's not just d. c. laughing, silicon valley is laughing, as well. you put yourself in the middle of a big fistfight in silicon valley when you running for
9:08 pm
president and no one can hear you talking, it was a disaster. the weird thing about this is, this is not a normal way to begin. ordinarily you want to be with normal people, not a billionaire. regular voters. where are they in this whole thing? regular voters have never heard of twitter spaces or clubhouse. i just think it was of unbelievable miscalculation from the beginning. conceptually was wrong, and an execution it is asked. or >> in terms of polling, where does desantis stand? >> i think what happens evening is a manifestation of what the polling is generally short of the last few months, and that is ron desantis following falling further behind. last year was a close race. trump was amped up on desantis, but it was only ten-point advantage. you look at it today and trump ahead by 30, 35 points, and it's more than just a top line. it's what's going on underneath that top line. if you look at the strongly
9:09 pm
favorable ratings among republicans for both ron desantis and donald trump, this is a key metric that forecasted trump's rise in 2016. back in december, trump and desantis were close on that metric. now we go to today. what do we see? donald trump must better much better light among republicans. >> how much is that people learning more about ron desantis or not liking what they see? >> that's got to be a part of it. a poll came out that showed that the candidate people want to learn the most about is tim scott, who just made for a onto the national stage this week, and is a bit of an unknown. desantis has had a huge national profile, partly because he intentionally does stunts that drive national media attention, and his polling has dropped with that. but this announcement that is a factor in all, this is what the kids call very online. i felt like that conversation was happening was what what people on twitter talk about. only 20% of americans are on twitter. a fact fraction of that is republican primary voters talking about speech, arguing
9:10 pm
your the platform itself. they weren't talking about kitchen table issues. i also remind desantis and his team, the average republican primary voter is on the older side. they are largely 50 plus. that is not an audience that is in twitter spaces talking about tech policy and ems elon musk's greatest grievances. they need to recalibrate, go back to kitchen table issues, to economic policy, because it was not a winning campaign launch. >> who do you think biden or his team seizes the bigger threat in 2024, desantis or trump? >> i don't think they're thinking about desantis. and the most democrats are assuming this runaway train of long trump with all of its noise and fury are is probably going to win. as more people pile. and you have tim scott getting involved, who i think is probably the best voice in the republican party, but he is going to be one really push in among maybe 15. >> he does have a lot of money behind him. >> which i think is a good thing. honestly, desantis as, i think, a very low and falling ceiling now. today was his time to come out
9:11 pm
in china, we're not talking about him, we're talking about elon musk and technology. tim scott is the one to watch. >> harry, what does history say about candidates who were getting desantis's polling numbers at this point? were they able to come back? >> most of them, no. eight out of ten since 1972 were not able to come back. but there were two who did. john mccain and barack obama in 2000 were polling in the low twenties at this point we're able to go on and win those nominations. i don't know if ron desantis is either john mccain or barack obama, but the fact is, most people in desantis's position do not go on to win the nomination. >> he's also untested on the national stage. i mean there's been a lot of talk about, he's not necessarily the most people oriented person as a campaigner. two we know if he knows how to run against the former president? >> the does anyone? oh >> the mistake that lists desantis has made is letting trump define him. the fact that everyone is decided that ron desantis has a bad personality isn't a
9:12 pm
personable person is because donald trump has said that. i dealt with rhonda santas, he's not an expert repeal retail com politician but he can have a conversation. he hasn't gotten out there in retail politics enough. he tried it in iowa, about a week ago. we know, to mixed reviews. if you want to come back you need to talk to actual voters and get off the internet. >> how much bigger do you think the republican field is going to get? axios had a thing out yesterday that glenn youngkin is rethinking may be coming back. >> i think as people see desantis, who was seen as air apparent to trump's slit, others may get in. chris sununu may get in as well. we don't want to run into 2016 where it's a massive pileup. >> a lot of candidates already. >> but he's going to be knowing when to come out if. you can get to a certain threshold by february of next year, you've got to get out of the way. >> we appreciate it. thank you. coming up next, remembering tina turner, who died today. some of the facts of the most remarkable moments onstage, and there are a lot of them in her life and will speak with one of

sorry it's under these circumstances. what an incredible life tina turner lived. when did you first get to know her? >> i first met tina back in about 1977 or something like that. and i actually met her through friends of mine that are buddhists like we all practiced the same buddhist religion. we are members of s g i, -- . and i saw her at a meeting. >> what would you like people to remember about her? >> she was very dynamic human being. a lot of feeling in her heart. and she had joy in her life. i think you can hear that from her music. even though her life wasn't necessarily that joyful. in the beginning. but everything changed. everything seems to have changed right after she started practicing buddhism. >> it's incredible to think that she started when she was in high school, singing backup in ike turner's band and then became the star, obviously, of the ike and tina turner review. she wrote something, or she said something, she gave an interview in a magazine a cup of years ago.
9:28 pm

ukrainians may have launched a drone on the kremlin earlier this month. and their level of confidence that ukraine is behind the incident is low. u.s. officials picked up chatter among ukrainian officials, blaming each other for the attack. they also intercepted communications of russian officials blaming ukraine, wondering how it happened. officials say the u.s. has not been able to reach a definitive conclusion. joining me is cnn national security analyst steve hall, former chief security of the russia operation. are they trying to send a message to the ukrainians, or the russians by the fact that this is leaking out? >> i think what we have going on here is a larger message of the u.s. government is sending, talking about this intelligence. the russians are so good about putting up their own propaganda, their own active measures. they've been trying to control the dialogue about what's going on in ukraine. they're saying it's not really about ukraine, it's about the.
9:42 pm
wes this is an opportunity for the u.s. government and other new nato allies to set the record straight and say no, it's not the case. that's why you're seeing a little more intelligence. >> the u.s. is assessing, as we said, with low confidence. can you explain what that means for intelligence standpoint? >> yeah. there's lots of different ways that intelligence is collected. sometimes you get stuff that isn't exactly, you're not exactly sure what is going on but you don't want to just leave it on the cutting room floor. and so you want to give that to consumers, but you also need to mark it as if you're not exactly sure. think about, for example, when you talk about the hearsay rule. when people says something about something else, you put a little less emphasis on it. it's something similar in intelligence. you have other people talking about what other people said sometimes you get somebody saying something like oh, that event didn't go off well, i think you knowing what you're talking about but you're not sure you have to assign it a
9:43 pm
little less level of confidence. >> according to sources u.s. officials also believe it is unlikely that senior ukrainian officials, including president zelenskyy, or the attack or knew about it beforehand. doesn't seem likely to you, given the circumstances of this war? >> it's a really fascinating question in this particular context. and i think it might be true here. it might be accurate because one of the questions that came up when this drone strike happened was how did somebody, if it was the ukrainians, fly this small drone almost 300 miles to write above the kremlin? well it's a lot easier if you're operating behind russian lines in your a lot closer. and over the past couple of days we have seen some groups that are able to conduct military operations against russia inside of russia's border. so is it possible that partisan group, perhaps russian nationalists, who don't respond directly to zelenskyy when they are in russia, they might not have told him. they might have just said look, we have to apologize later, we're gonna go ahead and take action and not tell the senior most folks because we are
9:44 pm
russians in russia doing this. >> how do you think incidents like this, or is the cross border attacks you just referenced, is it gonna impact intelligence cooperation, military in between the queen in the west? does it? >> i don't think that it will, much, because i think the administration, our government 's position has been, look, russia attacked ukraine, ukraine has to do its best to defend itself. we are going to help them defend themselves, but we are not going to tell them precisely how to do it. we get nervous when they start using some of the stuff we have given them inside russia. but again, the context is important. none of that military equipment and that training would have been there if the russians had not attacked in an extra queen to begin with. so it's a delicate balancing act. >> steve hall, thank you. also new news tonight, the iris whistleblower who claims there's been political interference in the hunter biden probe his spoken out for the first time. sarah murray joins us with the latest on that. talk about who the whistleblower's and what he says happened during this investigation. >> this is gary shapleigh, a 14 year veteran of the irs, and
9:45 pm
through his attorneys he has previously said that there was political interference in a case involving high-profile individual. we know that to be hunter biden. he has claimed there are conflicts of interest regarding how the case moved forward. and he shared a little more light on what he was talking about interview tonight with cbs. take a listen. >> there was multiple steps that were slow walked at the direction of the department of justice. >> had you ever encountered that before? >> i had not, no. >> now, again, we're still not getting a ton of detail of the meat of his concerns, what he was concerned about, what was slow walked, what were ill irregularities. but we should note that in the letters from his attorneys on this issue, he raised these concerns internally in the summer of 2020 so that would've been under the trump administration these concerns have persisted under the biden ministration and hunter biden case as you know still no one has been charged in. that >> and why his you decided to come forward?
9:46 pm
now >> he's set to meet on friday with house ways and means committee and provide investigators behind scenes more details about his allegations of political interference. and so he doesn't explicitly say in the interview why he is speaking out now, but it is clear he is tensions in his concerns about the case have been bubbling up for sometime. this case has been an interesting one because we've been reporting for a while the prosecutors have been looking at potential tax charges, potential fall statement charge when it comes to hunter biden, who has denied any wrongdoing. but again, the prosecutors in this case still have not brought any charges, so with kind of in limbo. >> sarah murray, appreciated. still ahead tonight, portillo we see on cnn, more than 1 million people have been displaced by the ongoing fighting in sudan, according to the new study. we'll take you to the front lines in this reggie refugee crisis, next.

as the fighting in sudan enters a six, lead to hundreds of thousands to flee their home. according to new reporting in our nation's international organization for migration, one of my million people have been displaced and sudan, more than 300,000 have fled to neighboring countries, 80,000 of them to chad where cnn correspondent larry madowo reports for us tonight. a report you only see on cnn. >> the kids cry constantly, adults look wary of war. the pain faces here a reminder of the horrors that drove them out of sudan. at this refugee cramp across the border in chad, sadness stocks almost everyone. as fighting intensifies in sudan's western region, they had to run or risk getting killed. -- left so suddenly that her son got lost in the chaos.

9:53 pm
many are traumatized, they will need a lot of support to heal. >> we had expected to meet refugees as they arrived in the border town of -- red across from sudan. but just before we arrived, it was hit by a rocket. that is why refugees are being moved away from border towns to places like this in gaga. >> cnn traveled with the u.s. state administrator samantha power to eastern chad. the u.s. is giving more than $100 million to support the over 1 million displaced by the war across sudan and neighboring countries. >> we met one woman whose i had been gouged basically with somebody just attacking her. she is seeking medical care here in chad. horrific violence which triggers for so many people memories of previous horrific violence. >> it is a full circle moment for her. she was in chatham thousand and four, riding the new yorker, about sudanese civilians fleeing the -- >> you talk to, them you feel like you are in a time where. because they are describing -- coming in, their knives, their,
9:54 pm
