>> hi everyone, thank you for tuning into this hour where we bring you tomorrow's news tonight. we have our great lineup of reporters here with me tonight, we have brynn, harry enten, omar jimenez, and elena train. also joining us from pittsburgh tonight, danny freeman. so the death penalty trial of the accused mass shooter in the pittsburgh synagogue massacre began today. 50 year old robert bowers is accused of killing 11 worshippers at the synagogue in october of 2018. danny freeman as the centers in pittsburgh covering this trial, brynn is following the rise in antisemitism across the country. we will get to that in a moment. danny we start with you. tell us how prosecutors laid out a case during the first day today? >> well, alison, basically prosecutors tried to establish one primary, thing not just that robert bowers was the person who fired indiscriminately into the synagogue killing 11 jewish

worshippers, but also that he did so specifically because they were jewish, he did so in a truly horrific way. we did learn new details, today just about how violent and seemingly intentional this shooting was. prosecutors said that robert bowers went through the synagogue, methodically going room to room, and in their words hunting jewish worshippers. now after a while, law enforcement did come, in swat teams engaged in a shootout with mr. bowers, they were able to get him to surrender. it was during that point when he was -- why are you doing this? why did you do this? and the prosecution said the response was, quote, all jews need to die. are killing our kids. so that is really what the prosecution is saying. now alison, i should, say the defense in this, case they are not disputing the case that robert bowers killed these 11 people, the defense said that these actions were incomprehensible, and inexcusable. there is no question that it

was a planned attack. that main defense attorney julie clark today, she really said that the jury's job in this case is to see if in her words, bowers irrational motives, in this, intent if those actually apply to the 63 federal charges mr. bowers is facing. so, we are opening statements from the prosecution, the defense first thing this morning. >> so danny, right after that shooting, i want to pittsburgh to that same neighborhood where you are, and i went to a chabot service, and the rabbi there, rabbi jeffrey myers is so kind and warm, i met so many of the -- it was a beautiful community. so, tell us, were they there in the courtroom today? what was it, have you talk to people who went to the synagogue? >> yes, alison, i have to be honest it was a very hard and emotional day in court.

i think it was a day that people were not expecting, it was supposed to be opening statements, but we did get opening statements including rabbi myers. and, one of the things we heard from the three witnesses called today were 9-1-1 calls that we have not heard prior to this moment. we can't release those specific 9-1-1 calls to you, or to the public right now because they're too graphic. that is a court order. i want you to listen to some past 9-1-1 calls from the same incident that will give you a bit of an idea of the tone of the -- we heard in court today. take a listen. >> i have one alive, still alive, we have four down in the atrium. -- >> i had a report about least one victim in the basement. -- >> now, allison, you mentioned

rabbi jeffrey myers, the rabbi of the tree of life congregation, he took the witness stand today, and we actually have a chance to hear the 9-1-1 call that he made while the shooter was inside the synagogue killing other members of his congregation. and, it is really chilling allison, because you hear him incredibly composed on the phone, talking with a dispatcher, saying exactly what the address of the synagogue is saying, exactly where he, as other members to the best of his knowledge is. you can hear the gunfire, and he goes silent. and, a good period of time, and he still stayed silent, and today in court, robin myers was asked why did you go silent for those few moments. he responded i was praying, and i was expecting to die, at that

point he was deciding whether he should stay on the line with 9-1-1, or perhaps call his wife. and to your initial question, just a terribly emotional day today in court, i listen this was day one. >> danny, standby if you would, because i believe the rest of our panel has questions for you. rabbi minus is really a special person, i'm sure you remember him being on, air he is a combination of incredible great leader, and so compassionate, and empathetic, yet stoic. he is able to lead everybody through this nightmare, but it just brings it all back. i don't know if you remember where we were all reporting when this happened, but it was an awful day. >> yes, it is really the incident that always when you talk about antisemitism, it sort of goes back to the most extreme incident that people reference, right, danny did such a great job describing it because it invokes so much emotion about how extreme this actually went to. but, we have been talking about

the rise of antisemitism, and for more than a decade, just within the last year there have been 3700 incidents of, you know, vandalism, attacks, extreme -- >> is this more than say two or three years ago? >> it is getting exponentially worse. it is a third higher than the incidents tract last year. and, it is a wide range of incidents by community members like the, rabbi the police, victims are reporting these incidents, but the point is, it is just growing. it is going to numbers that they have never seen before. when you look at those years of where this increase is, of course what do you see in, they're covid, that is when everybody was getting online, sort of getting indoctrinated into these chat rooms and if you had a particular view, or a particular hate, it sort of grew. and that is where these reports are still growing in exponential numbers, especially

when you look in new york, new york has about 15, 16 rather percent of the total incidents across the country. mainly sort of the epicenter of that is in brooklyn where there is a large orthodox jewish community, where it is very easy to target members of this community, so we are seeing a lot of incidents there. but yeah, it is happening all across the country. >> yeah, and i remember when this happened, i actually was out there reporting in response to the breaking news, and like so many of these cases, members of the community there who felt -- the tragedy of this itself, and the message behind this shooting, the antisemitism as part of it, and i took this picture in one of the yards, and people had carved into the pumpkin stronger than hate. they felt despite the tragedy

that had happened here, we need to stake a stand against evil that is this person, this shooter that is inflicted upon our community. there is a legal proceeding going on, and how important is it, and for them to come together, and say despite what happened we have to move for stronger together? >> that is the conflict that these victims for the tree of life are going through, he was offered life in -- he wanted to take life in prison sentence, and they went forward with a death penalty, which was not an easy decision for these victims families to make. but they said, they needed to come together, they needed to stand up against the state, and they needed to quite frankly have this day in court. this is going to be an issue that we continue to, track because we do see so many incidents where it is on the fringe of sort of antisemitic. we saw the former president

with a holocaust denier, with members of congress making antisemitic remarks, and that is when the point, happens every one is to come together whether you are jewish or not jewish and stand up against, and make it clear it is not okay. >> i would just say, this is obviously the culmination of what happened, but you know it is truly when you are on the subway, maybe don't want to wear a jewish star, maybe you don't want to wear a yarmulke, maybe you don't want to be seen in -- maybe it is just wearing a star of david t-shirt. it is the small things that are truly the things where you are jewish american. i want to be who i am, and i want to be proud of who i am, and i don't want to be scared of who i am. and, pittsburgh, horrendous as it may be, it is just a small part of the apple. it is the ability to live on, and move on, and remember, and when you are afraid of going outside and exploring and

showing off you jewish pride, that to me is what is worrisome and why these statistics you were just citing are so worrisome. it is not always going to be this one event, it is going to be these smaller events that are going to make somebody say maybe i don't want to go outside today, or maybe i just want to hide my judaism. that to me is something that is truly scary, because in all honesty and thought we had left that behind. what i realize is, perhaps we never can leave it behind. we can try and squash it, but we can never truly get rid of it. >> have you felt any more nervous with all of these upward trend of all this? >> yeah, i do feel a little bit more worried, i'm not going to say i'm running around scared, that would be a false statement, but i will say maybe i don't want to travel to that part of the city where i know there aren't that many jewish, people maybe i will stand out. that might make me a target. we all have stereotypes of what jewish people look, like and

jewish people can look like a lot of different things, but i will say -- some orthodox folks on the street, they might say is he one who you know they try and tie your hands around the whole thing? i sometimes to get pulled out, and i take it as an honor, but i'm worried that somebody who doesn't have good intentions might see that and try. so that is something that goes through my mind for sure. it is interesting all the messaging, because look, we cover a lot of these mass shootings, these horrific events. in the moments, the details are horrific, just you can leave them there. it is then those reverberations were as you mention, it is those tiny things of, i do not really want to wear this memorabilia, or the star of david, or i do not want to give away a piece of who i am to someone on the street. i want to just go where i am,

and what i feel i'm in a safer environment, i can be more myself. that is a point that extends to a lot of cultures, a lot of places, but it is blown up by these mass violent events that we see. >> thank you very much for sharing all, that danny thank you in pittsburgh, obviously we will be watching the trial very closely. now to this, rhonda santiff is on the campaign trail tonight in iowa. but what roe does ayo really play in our presidential politics, it may not be what you think. harry has been digging into this for us, and will be with us next. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? try nervive nerve relief from the world's number one nerve care company. nervive contains ala to relieve nerve aches, and b-complex vitamins to fortify healthy nerves. try nervive.

>> presidential candidate won desantis making his first official campaign stop in iowa tonight. he slammed the current direction of the country, to cataco former president trump and what he called the gop's culture of --

>> we must put an end to the culture of losing that has infected the republican party in recent years. not in iowa, not in florida, but in a way to many places. -- they are inadequate for a vibrant future. >> all right harry enten is quenching the data around -- so let's start there, how important is iowa nowadays? >> god i love this time of the year when the campaigns are getting going, everyone seems to have a chance, and the truth is if you look back at the polling at this particular point since 2004, and you project was going to win the iowa caucus, turns out the polling is not all that predictive which makes it -- only one out of seven of the pulling leaders at this point have gone on to win the caucus since 2000, for hillary clinton in 2016 was the only one, and she barely run it. she barely won it.

of course desantis wants to win an iowa, that is the question. if you win an iowa, does that mean you can actually go on to win the nation? what we know since 2004, only three of the seven folks where the iowa caucus winners went on to win this nominee, in fact none of them on the republican side, so i would caution -- >> the last one was for george w. bush. >> the last republican to win iowa and -- >> that would have been back in 2000, one in iowa, but here's the thing i will point out, they are two early contests to pay a lot of attention, to iowa and new hampshire. remember, george w. bush ran into a -- john mccain back in 2000, so since back in 1970, to you look back at how many folks actually won the iowa caucuses, and the new hampshire primary, turns out there have been only very few. three out of 17 since -- jimmy carter did it in 1976,

are gord it in 2000, and john kerry did it in 2004. so look, i don't know if -- i or caucus, we know donald trump is winning in iowa right, now leading in new hampshire, but i would be very surprised that there isn't a strong challenge in one of those states because the fact is, i new hampshire would like to mess things up a little bit, and -- >> but you have to pick just one, should you put all your eggs in the iowa basket, or new hampshire basket? >> if you are a republican, i would put it more in new hampshire than iowa based on what we have seen. the last two times, remember in 2000, a mike huckabee won in iowa, not going to win the nomination. rick santorum won an iowa in 2012, did not go on to win the nomination. donald trump -- won in iowa in 2016, did not go on to win the nomination. you know who did go on to win the nomination of those years? the people who won the new hampshire primary. so i would look towards the new

hampshire on the republican side than iowa. iowa tends to have a few too many evangelicals, a few too many very conservatives who tentatively out of step with the rest of the republican party, but of course 2024 is going to be in a, you just have to wait and see what happens. >> as you guys know, what desantis did launch his campaign tonight, i should say the big first speech at a mega church in iowa. he had a meeting with evangelicals, so he is playing that -- most successful, if you are going to go to iowa, that is how you do it. >> people in iowa like you playing, i would say that the early state numbers for donald trump in iowa or new hampshire -- don't seem to be nearly as strong as they are nationally, there hasn't been a -- and we do know that iowa has lifted up some people who truly were not on the national radar. my cup tribute was pulling nowhere in 2000, it --

was really -- he literally launched in the final month, but at this particular point, with donald trump way, ahead i'm not really sure it is in the parts for desantis, or anybody else in iowa. if it gets closer, he could play the role of upset maybe. >> i think it is about momentum, i know obviously rhonda scent this is not an eye, what his looking at a lot of his earliest campaign stops in the ski presidential states, i also know that from my discussions with people with donald trump who are working on his campaign, he has been very active in targeting endorsements, getting fundraising, making a lot of campaign stops as well in these early states like iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, the ones that matter. again, i would agree that it is not very productive if you win an iowa, or new hampshire, it doesn't predict who will be the nominee, but a lot of people talking about, for desantis i

think is finally gotten into the race. this is his first big presidential campaign event, especially the botched rollout of his campaign last week on twitter, is -- very eager to put on a good show in iowa. i think that is what they are tempted to do. i think it is interesting, though now that he is in the, race we are seeing that really aggressive back and forth between him and donald trump. it is -- donald trump's team has said, iowa is clear what he is doing, but donald trump's team is doing the same thing by trying to target iowa as well. i think we will continue to see these candidates all go to these early, states all try to court the same type of voters, and i think it will be interesting to see who can get, you know, the share of voters in iowa. >> we've only talked about two names at this point, donald trump in around desantis. there are others. >> exactly. >> we are also going to iowa. >> tim scott, nikki haley, a

mix of others we announced including -- new hampshire governor, but also a big one, there have been talks about chris christie potentially getting in the race, i can tell you i've spoken to people in his camp, they are trying to put together some final pieces, no official announcement yet. some of his allies put together a super pac, so that is really the most concrete steps we have seen in the groundwork being laid. he hasn't shied away from talking about -- sources close to me said, if he gets in the race, if chris christie gets in the race, then he doesn't see a path around trump, he says this path would be through trump. >> he hasn't been shy. >> he has not been shy. >> chris christie as, not it is interesting now rhonda scent is not being shy. >> you do find interestingly, just the language, how close it is to trump, it is so fascinating just being an outsider, and again not having a big political person, it is

so interesting how any particular person who is going to vote that way, how do they -- >> his rhonda scent is calling people names? >> it doesn't have tagline swear, people but i don't, know just infected, these words that you are -- i don't know. >> i think it is on purpose though. >> 100%. >> he wants to be donald trump without the baggage. a lot of these candidates, if you look at these candidates as well, many of them, nikki haley, tim scott, a lot of the policies they are proposing and putting forward are ones that donald trump also supports and has put forward, except they are trying to say that they have more reasonable rhetoric. they did not have the controversy surrounding them that obviously the former president does. >> i was just going to say quickly, who is the most popular politician on the republican party right now? it is donald trump. so, that is, why they want to be as close to him as possible, without actually beating him. maybe if something happens, maybe if an investigation involving trump, they will be

there in case he falls by the way. >> all right, thank you all very much for the numbers of the respective. meanwhile announced a final vote tomorrow on the that ceiling bill, speaker kevin mccarthy has a lot of work to do before them. ellen has the warning for us. ahhh! icy hot pro starts working instantly. with two max-strength pain relievers, so you can rise from pain like a pro. icy hot pro.

we moved out of the city so our little sophie could appreciate nature. but then he got us t-mobile home internet. i was just trying to improve our signal, so some of the trees had to go. i might've taken it a step too far. (chainsaw revs) (tree crashes) (chainsaw continues) (daughter screams) let's pretend for a second that you didn't let down your entire family. what would that reality look like? well i guess i would've gotten us xfinity... and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch. >> well the debt ceiling bill is inching closer to a vote, but the fight is not over for house speaker kevin mccarthy. he still needs to wrangle wayward republicans to get behind the bill, and that line

is on the story for us. so at the risk of introducing matt into this hour, do you have any idea how many republicans are still not -- >> yes, so, it is interesting, normally when we look at you need 218 votes to pass a bill in the house, mccarthy has a five vote majority essentially. but normally that matters because a lot of these bills are more partisan and you're trying to force them through without the other party, this feels different. this is an agreement that was worked out by how speaker kevin mccarthy, and president biden, and the expectation is that a majority of republicans and a majority of democrats will come together and vote for this and as of now from my conversations today, what we are hearing from members on capitol hill, that is still expected. there is a huge issue is, what mccarthy is seen as saying a near full revolt from a lot of the far-right members of his party who think that they were betrayed by mccarthy, that he made promises to them,

particularly around the speakership vote. it is 20 republicans who try to think, no we covered this in-depth, in january tried to stop him from becoming speaker, who he made all these backroom deals with. now they are saying hey, you are going back on your word. and, they are threatening to potentially oust him. >> it only takes one, is it true? >> that is an agreement. >> did they not call for a vote on him, or a -- >> to oust him, yes, it is formally in motion to vacate the chair. but yes, to oust him from being speaker. that is an agreement that mccarthy agreed to in january. he said it would take one member to do that. now they are threatening to hold out. now we have some sound from the members of republicans today, we were talking about their criticism of mccarthy, let's hear that sound. >> a majority of republicans are against a piece of legislation, and use democrats to pass, it that would immediately be a violation of the deal we had with mccarthy to allow his center speakership,

and it would trigger an immediate motion to vacate. >> how much confidence do you have in the speaker right now? >> none. zero. what basis is there for confidence? >> we will continue to fight it, today tomorrow, and no matter what happens there is going to be a reckoning about what just occurred. >> but he is not going to lose a majority of -- >> no, and that is what i was going, say a lot of these members are part of the freedom caucus, against some of the most far-right members in the republican party. they are often the loudest members of the party. so if you are watching, this you are hearing what people are, saying the republican thing it sounds really, bad most likely mccarthy will get the majority. if you look at the data, if you look at past votes, he -- i mean, i think more than 19%, you are talking about this earlier tonight, more than 90% of republicans tend to vote with mccarthy so far. so, he keeps saying his confidence, and i should add that it is not just mccarthy's

problem, biden is also facing, and democrats are facing a tough problem with this bill as well. this bill is something that neither side is happy about. republicans think it is extending the debt ceiling for too long into 2025, there's not enough spending cuts and it, democrats are saying they are against the work requirements for some of these social welfare programs as well as the energy provisions. so i don't want to get to wonky, but, another side is happy. >> it's the first time that one of those backward deals could bite him in the bucket? >> yes, it actually is. so honestly it is one of the biggest test for mccarthy so far, speaker, another one was when they were trying to pass their immigration bill a couple weeks ago. but, he really has had so far, i know it is only about to be into tune a couple of months since he has been speaker, but he is had an easy go at it. there haven't been a lot of these really controversial fights. the debt ceiling as by and far the biggest, and hardest

decision that he's facing, and potential revolt he is facing now. and also without backroom, deal there is some discrepancy over one of the republicans we just heard, chip horry of texas had said that again, i do not want to get -- there is new rules committee, we have to get it through that, then they can get on the bill and passed that set of rules tonight. there is apparently an agreement about the number of people, republicans on the committee that would need to support this bill that mccarthy had agreed to. there's confusion over that. again, i don't want to get too into it here, but it is coming into effect, now there's also drawing, i think, criticism from both some of the more moderate members who are saying that is very fascinating to watch this play out and internal fighting, and a lot of these people who detest mccarthy wanting to make good on some of the -- to both of your points, was this not a scenario that in some ways was anticipated?

the attempts for kevin mccarthy to be voted as speaker over, and over, and over again was an attempt by his side to wear down the critics, and on the other side really was a political stance to say, we are not backing down from you from some of these very members who are speaking up now? so is this the dynamic that will now be the realities of governing as speaker when we move forward with some of these fights? because that is what it seems. >> it is a great question. i think it is not about, i, think the new norm in a sense of how congress will always operate. i think the issue here is how narrow of a majority kevin mccarthy has. they underperformed in the midterms, they still won the majority, but again they still have only about five seats depending on how many people are in town. five votes they could lose to get any bill forward, that is why so many of these far-right members are able to hold him hostage in some sense on a lot

of these things, why mccarthy has had to work very hard to make sure he's giving concessions for some of the far-right factions of his party, because he doesn't have a lot of room to move on a lot of this. this is a little bit different given that they are likely going to have democratic votes, but that is not something i think mccarthy wants to talk about, to rely on democrats to get this bill through. >> sounds like a compromise to me if everybody is so upset. >> do not a bad weight on television. >> that is what washington d.c. compromise is, a dirty word. >> democrats are, upset republicans are, upset it actually seems like it might be a fair deal? >> it depends on who you ask. there is a lot of angry people, but it is, funny the loudest people are the ones who are getting the attention. it is the progressives, it is the freedom caucus, it is the more radical republicans in congress who are hearing a lot of this angsty. >> i don't want to say dusted on, deal because anything could happen tomorrow, but it sure

feels closer than we have in months. >> i think we can all expect this to pass through the house tomorrow. >> okay, thank you very much for all of that. meanwhile, boston celtics falling short of a record come back. the miami heat advance to nba finals, and omar was at the game. he's going to tell us all about it.

>> here comes mike. he is in the game for the

celtics. brown is out and done. boston's done. finished. they were on the huge of a -- great nba history, tying up the series after losing the first three games, the boston celtics game of short game seven of the eastern conference finals against the miami heat. omar was at the game. he is going to bring us all the blood, sweat, and tears. what was it like? >> look, heading into the game was electric. they were on the precipice of history, coming into the game, there had been 150 attempts at coming back from a 30 deficit, and 150 fails. now there is 151. they did not know that at the beginning of the game. so at the beginning, they were on fire, they were electric, they were making comparisons to the boston red sox in 2004 came back from a 30 deficit against the yankees, so, boston is not like new york, this is, it this is it. within the first two quarters the, game it was very clear

that boston was not going to win this game. >> why, where did they go wrong after those -- that winning streak? >> one, my impression is they did not have the rhythm right away, which sometimes happens and, games your hyped up you need to calm down. so is giving the benefit of the doubt there. the heat did not have, that they came out firing, knocking everything down, they were in there and every shift of momentum that seem to go to the celtics wasn't answer right away by the heat and then another big moment in the first literal seconds of the game. the celtics best player jayson tatum ravaged 30 points a game this year went down with an apparent injury and take a listen to what he said after the game about that moment. >> just a -- stuff, made it to the conference finals again and so close to getting back to the finals giving resolves another

chance. yeah, i mean you would expect the stuff -- >> he played through, it but he was not himself when he finished. >> i don't think he has processed it yet fully he is that a loss for words there. are the fans depleted? >> that is the other thing as the game went on boston's fan base there are certain cities where boston, philadelphia, their fan bases are known for being very hot for you or very brutal for you when you are losing. i think we saw high-level bit of that when the celtics, when it was clear the celtics were going to lose. their own fans started to be with them at points. on the precipice of history, they came up, short their own fans were booing them. we actually talked to some of those delayed advance after the game, who braved into those waters. take a listen to some of what they say. >> how are you guys feeling right now? >> pretty terrible honestly.

>> -- it's leaving, he says the fantastic him, give him the money, and -- >> i just wanted to say on behalf of austin, i wish my city had responded better. >> and so, look, it is a wide range, you know -- >> it is so bad. >> the fans were saying another player on the celtics, people were talking about we have to trade this, we have to fire the coach, things that you expect. >> let's talk about the coach, is he a -- >> so he is the coach, he just became full time coach for the celtics this year, he had to come in as an interim after the previous coach -- had left the team for some -- he did not act appropriately i would say. we will leave it there. and, so, this was really the first opportunity for him to bring his team to the nba finals, and there is a lot of pressure on him as a first time full-time head coach here.

i will say, we spoke to some heat fans after the game as well, fans who flew in from florida for the game, and they were a little happier, take a listen to them. >> we were on the plane, on our first leg, i looked at him and said -- so we knew in this press conference, at the end of game six, that they did not execute. if they did, they were going to win. so we were very confident. >> we got -- we've got them. celtics. we got them. we still have love for y'all. >> so, -- >> i don't know what is happening. there >> i think, well, i think that translation is a little bit of alcohol. i think that is what gets the people going a little bit in

that situation. but, yes i mean, look, it was tough for the celtics fans, the organization, i think this year they were in the finals last year, it really was the finals are bussed this year and they got a bust. >> i was just going to say obviously -- and the never nuggets are heavily favored in those nba finals, a big down for not get fan, very happy, very happy that miami won. he believes the easier opponent to take, down but we will see it. >> and so here is the thing, the celtics did lose, but that really wasn't the story. the heat won this game. and give credit to the heat here, they were a playing team, which means they weren't officially in the playoffs to start this year, they lost the first playing game, then they, one got into the playoffs, took down the number one seat in the east, number two seat boston celtics, they're now taking on the number one seat in the west in the nation for nuggets. they have found a way to win every step of the, way even

when they have been discounted. they have one player who is undrafted step up and more than doubled his season and came average to propel them to win. and, again, they are going to be the first play in team to make the nba finals. and yes, the nuggets are favored. >> but also history, but, people love a comeback. >> they do. >> boston. >> they love a comeback. >> i think we also have a picture of you enjoying yourself i'm told. >> oh wow. >> i was nervous. a picture of me enjoying myself at the game. look, i know, we cover a lot of sad stories and a lot of not so fun stories. so the opportunities that i get to actually cover some fun stuff, this -- earlier this year i got to cover it in a late when lebron james broke -- >> i remember that as well. >> a little disgruntled right here.
