but unfortunately for blake masters, the internet is sometimes forever, the most recent example of, this published late last night by cnn's kfile compares a current version of lake masters campaign website with the one that existed just a day before he won his primary election. his website used to have the following language, quote, the 2020 election was a rotten mess, if we had had a free and fair election, president trump would be sitting in the oval office today, and america would be so much better off. all that has now been deleted by mr. master's website. the stuff about the election being iran must not somehow free and fair, gone. and then there is his position on abortion. nbc news was the first to point out the masters, quote, south and his rhetoric, rewriting or raising five of his six positions. including this one. i am 100% pro-life. or at least, that's what it said last thursday morning, because that language is to now, , gone. as is his support for a federal person had law, ideally a constitutional amendment that recognizes that on board and babies are human beings that may

. for a walk my name is george blake i am a professional intelligence officer.most 20 years. i was an officer in the british secret intelligence service but in 1961 i was sentenced to 42 years in prison as a soviet spy. and ended up in jail vvorut scrubs. the film that you are about to see is the story of my entire life and, in fact, everything told here is true. i am 88 years old, like an old man. i have enough time to slowly rethink my life again, i am often asked if i regret what i did, that i voluntarily began to work for soviet intelligence, that i can answer that i have nothing to justify. and even more repentant. i will try to tell about myself. only the truth is not evading anything and does not embellish anything. i was born in 1922 in holland as a goalkeeper. as a child, my reference book was the children's bible i read with pleasure history of the old testament and dreamed of becoming a pastor, but in 1940 everything changed. germany occupied my native galand. i hated fascism and joined the underground resistance, became a messenger, posing as schoolc

he's a billionaire that created blake masters. it is creepy.this guy. what is the sense among the base of the republican party about what this guy is trying to do on what is a core position for them? >> well, i would hesitate to answer that question because i don't have the polling. we haven't done enough interviews to firmly say, okay, this is what republicans are thinking or the grassroots are thinking. but you are right, generally in both parties, but when it comes to abortion, when you have very committed single issue voters and you start to go wobbly on it, it's a problem. we're going to find out if that's true here. certainly mark kelly has now the money and the organization to be able to press this forward and make that clear to so-called pro-life or antiabortion voters. what we don't know is what the peter theil's position on this, the billionaire tech giant. he's not only funding and has propped up blake masters in arizona, he's also done the same for j.d. vance in ohio. vance has had a few stumbles, but the difference is arizona is be

cnn's blake is in taipei. blake, let's start with you. how much of a surprise was this, is this congressional visit? >> well, alex, look, these kinds of visits happen from time to time. and we don't often hear about them until after the arrival, and in this case, while taiwan's ministry of foreign affairs say the visit was aannounced, it's the timing that's perhaps the biggest surprise, especially after china reacted so strongly against speaker pelosi's visit. that reaction involved nearly a week of live fire drills surrounding taiwan with war planes and military vessels and missiles that flew over the self-governed island for the first time. this is the second time this month a surprise delegation has made this trip to taiwan here. two weeks ago, house speaker nancy pelosi. this time, a delegation led by ed markey during their two day visit, taiwan's foreign ministry says the group of u.s. lawmakers is going to meet with the democratic island's president, foreign minister, and will discuss security and trade issues with members of parlia

here it is. >> blake masters has made his dangerous ideas on abortion easy to understand. >> i think. wade was wrong. it has always been wrong. it's a religious sacrifice to these people, it is demonic. >> for blake, taking our health care freedom from arizona woman is just the beginning. >> i actually think we should go for. they're >> -- no state can permit abortion. >> you make it illegal and punish the doctors. >> blake masters is too dangerous for arizona. >> so, david in his own words, masters thinks that abortion is demonic and want to use to punish doctors. i was going to play with arizona voters? >> not. well and i think what susan did you defining the difference between the pro-life movement and the politicians approaches is really an important insight. what we are seeing from blake masters is that this is not just a candidate who is highlighting more moderate themes now that he is in the original election. this is a complete abandonment of his previous political narrative, which speaks to what we would give to us another blake masters. sticking on the theme here a little b

blake, there's no doubt that abortion has, you know, in the roe vs.sion has skrafshgd some races but i think it's interesting and smart that you went on the offense. i think it might be a lesson to other candidates. >> well, thank you rachel and you're exactly right. you know, we have to play offense. look, i'm the underdog in this race, right? we always knew it was going to be tough. we always knew that mark kelly is going to raise tons of money. he has the whole national democratic machine behind him. right? so he's going to outspend us. yeah, that's his advantage. you know what his disadvantage is, though? the democrats have to use that money to lie. to even have a chance of winning. they have to lie about me, and they're doing a lot of that. but they also have to lie about mark kelly's own record. this guy got elected by promising he was going to be independent and a moderate. two years later look at his voting record and i'm sorry to say, oops, he lied to us. this guy's in the senate just voting in lock step to approve joe biden's failed agenda.

blake masters knows what he's doing.pted by him may not be so savvy about that and don't understand that they're voting against their own interests, don't understand that people like blake masters, they are taking advantage of them. >> don, i want to see -- >> i want to hear what you think about an exchange that meghan markle had, of course she's got this podcast, so popular right now, part of it is because it is meghan markle, but she's also got these huge high profail gu profile guests, like serena williams, but this was with mariah carey. >> for us it is so different, you're light skinned, you're not treated as a black woman, you're not treated as a white woman. if there is any time that people were focused on my race it was when i started dating harry. up until then i was treated like a mixed woman and things really shifted. >> you talked a lot about this, don, this concept. >> well, look, there are a couple of things at work here. colorism which i talk about. colorism in the black community. but there is also this i

wade and are not for blake masters at this particular point. >> what about the national stage? >> okay, normally abortion, if you look in years past as a motivating factor for republicans. those people were against abortion rights, a look at this new york times poll from last month and essentially they said with your most important issue and if your most important issue is in fact abortion, who do you favor in these races? if you look on that slide you see the democratic cam did its are favored by over 50 point margins at this point, you know i like studying polls, but i've never seen quite like that. >> that is an enormous margin to see on a single issue and what is this doing or how is this moving, or what are you seeing, i should say, in the generic congressional ballot test? >> the generic congressional ballot test is a question i ask if the election were held today, would you vote for the democrats or republicans in your district? if you go back before roe v. wade was overturned, republicans had a clear lead on the jenner -- on average a three point lead. i was not expecti

blake masters, the other trump back candidate here in the republican race for the u.s. senate, masters, this additional batch of votes is close but he is ahead. so if that same trend sort of obtains here, where masters improves as the later votes get counted, then masters could end up winning this primary, lake losing the other primary, and if she does follow through on which we're talking about, that could certainly negatively affect blake masters going into that general election kind of democratic mark kelly. i should add by the way. the secretary of state's primary as well that we've been talking about, then, finchem candidate for secretary of state. he is also leading by eight points, substantial lead with this early batch of votes. going on the expectation that the later boats will favor the trump candidates. he certainly looks like he is in the best position right now, of those three trump backed candidate. but i think he is in the best position, then you look at masters, and i think there is a real question mark right now about kari lake, and a bit of a surprise.

steven jiang is in beijing and blake essig is in tokyo. let's first go to steven. a lot of action there around taiwan and concern about, you know, the scale of this exercise and how close it is coming to the island. >> reporter: that's right. they say all missiles hit intended targets. earlier we have seen the pla fly drones over an outlying island and also sending a larger than usual number of aircraft for incursions into the air defense zone. obvious i will the pla has promised a lot more including practicing a blockade around the island and also potentially conducting live fire drills inside taiwan's territorial water and also firing missile that could fly directly above the island. all of that of course considered a major provocation by taipei and washington, but from the chinese perspective, all of this is very much justified and part of their long promised forceful response to pelosi's visit. but remember it is also worth noting that some analysts say this is also part of beijing's political psychological and information warfare, at least partly aimed at impl

blake masters as one of them.pretty much identical in terms of trying to wipe the slate clean on with these people used to believe or did not believe previously, and replace them with the silicon valley big brain far-right, nonsense that you would hear in a podcast or something. it's garbage, frankly, like a lot of these things people believe. technocratic -- they believe in this idea that is borderline racist, quite frequently. but that is the stuff you hear from those type of people. it's very well funded outside of the states that therein. it doesn't play well within these states. you're running against a popular astronaut i was married to a very popular person in the state of arizona. it's very hard to go in with your idea that black people are the ones doing on the shooting. democrats don't want to confronted because of that. that's exactly would like masters said at one point. that's the issue here. republicans have given into trumpism. in every way with a lot of these candidates. there is not going to be a

if you're blake masters you'll have a different calculation, and i think watching these folks runningswing states tells us a lot about where things are going and watching the red state folks tells us where things have been. >> first of all, blake masters might want to worry about the fact that he wanted birth control to be illegal, so donald trump stealing these secrets is the least of his problems. you know, mara, we just want to live in a world where people don't think it's okay to do this. i think most americans just want to live in a world where a former president of the united states can be trusted not to take human intelligence material that could get our spies killed, and i think that's unfortunately too much to ask and for politicians no matter where they are in a red or purple state to say, yeah, that's wrong. your thoughts? >> that's right, because i think all americans, pretty much every political persuasion at this point, feel that at one time or another politicians seem to be above the law, and i think there's no greater example that have than here with the former preside

so lauren, blake masters is now running in the general election.t do you make of the fact that his website suddenly changed? >> well, i think what's happening is republicans are waking up to the reality that overwhelming majorities of americans support abortion rights. and when you look at questions of some of the most extreme bans, like those that have gone into effect in many states, just this week, even republican and pro-life voters don't support them. and it is a political loser for a republican candidates who are pushing these extreme bans. and i think the longer -- the further we get from a dobbs decision and the more we start hearing these horrific examples of children being forced to carry babies to term, of women being forced to carry fetuses that aren't viable. i mean, just these horrific stories that are beginning to emerge, that are the real impact, the real-world impact of these extreme abortion bans, it's%ing politically toxic. and what we saw in kansas is actually very representative of what we believe we're going to be seeing throu

steven jiang is in beijing, blake essig is live for us in tokyo. first to you, steven. take us through this escalating rhetoric and the military response as well. >> yeah, the chinese response has come quickly and harshly, which was of course not surprising at all moments after pelosi's plane landed in taiwan. we saw a barrage of condemnation from chinese government ministries and senior officials including the chinese ambassador to the u.s. here is what cnn was told. >> china sovereignty cannot be infringed and that the chinese people cannot be humiliated. and that the reeducation of china cannot be stopped. so we'll take whatever we can to respond and to protect, to take back our sovereignty territory and our response will be very full, strong and forceful. >> reporter: now, this r promis forceful response is in the form of live fire drills, but it is interesting to note that right after pelosi's arrival in taiwan when they first announced those drills, they were supposed to start on thursday after pelosi's expected departure from the island. but amid this growing bac

. >> blake masters has made his idea on abortion easy to understand. >> i think we can further -- >>ke it illegal, and you punish a doctor. >> blake masters, too dangerous for arizona. >> those are two new ads, out today, targeting arizona republican senate candidate blake masters, and michigan republican gubernatorial candidate tudor dixon. those two republican candidates only won their party nominations on tuesday, but they're already facing ads like that, giving voters a sample of the candidates'extreme positions on abortion in their own words. and they may have something to do with the other election that happened on tuesday night. when voters in the state of kansas, the state that donald trump won by nearly 15 points in 2020, overwhelmingly rejected a republican proposal that would remove protections for abortion rights in that state. republicans spent the last two days struggling to explain the results of that kansas election. kansas republican senator, roger marshall, told politico today, it was quite a gut punch. yes, i'm shocked, absolutely shocked. that's not what i was exp

first two is blake masters, who ran on and specifically anti rope assertion.ederal person had law, that would give legislation -- nationwide criminalization of literally all abortion everywhere. last week, he scrubbed all that from his platform. doesn't exist on the website anymore, he's now trying to pass himself off as a, quote, common sense politician on abortion access. so is michigan republican tom barrack, his congressional website used to have a value section where not surprisingly he'd outed his lifelong work in the antiabortion movement, pledged to always work to protect life from conception. that section has now disappeared from his website. when the detroit news asked him about the change, he said he didn't know about, it but quote, i'm sure we were probably updating things about the issues that were most santa right now, cost of living, inflation, those are the most concerned with. of course, when actual voters in michigan were asked by the research firm with their number one issue is right now. abortion, top of the list, main issue. natalie alliso

why is blake masters, of all people, now tamping that down? >> therein lies the problem.olen. so, he's obligated to make those sort of claims. he wanted to ensure he got the former president's endorsement. but now he needs to win statewide in arizona, a state that could easily go either direction, and with a very credible democratic challenger. so, there's nothing totally new about people swinging a bit more moderate in a general election, but it is stark in this case, because it's something as extreme as basically saying the previous election was not legitimate and then just wiping away all references to that. the abortion language as well, realizing that's going to alienate a number of moderate republicans, independents and women that he's going to need to win. one thing i want to note is this. this is obviously something to watch in midterms, but also for 2024. what i expect to see is a bunch of republicans go on a primary stage and relitigate the 2020 election, not really recognizing what we all know, which is that is an unsustainable position in a general election, a

. >> let's bring in cnn's blake essig in taipei.e you learning more about china's military drills near taiwan? >> reporter: just a few hours ago we learned the people's liberation army continues to conduct these military drills in the air and at sea around taiwan according to video posted on social media by chinese military. now the military in their post also stated that today's drills are focused on anti-submarine warfare and more naval action. during the first four days of military exercises taiwan's defense ministry says china simulated an attack against the main island of taiwan involving cyberattacks, a large number of fighter jets and warships operating daily around taiwan with many entering taiwan's air defense identification zone and some crossing the taiwan strait median line. beijing also launched a dozen ballistic missiles, some flying over taiwan the first time ever and several landing in japan's exclusive economic zone. according to military experts, one of the key take-aways from the past several days is china demonst

let's pick up where blake left off there. let's pick up with taijuan, china suspended cooperation with the u.s. on a range of issues including climate talks. let's listen to what john kirby had to say. >> china has chosen to overreact and use the speaker's visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the taijuan straight. we anticipated that china might take steps like this. we also expect that these actions will continue. >> well, susan, how should the biden administration respond? >> well, look, i think that, you know, even in anticipated action and i do think john kirby is correct, this was definitely anticipated these exercises that china is mounting that really amount to an escalation in and of themselves but just because you've anticipated something doesn't mean there is an obvious thing. one of the greatest worries i hear over and over again in washington today is the risk that we're marching down a path of escalation and tit for tat conversations for taijuan. if china under its leadership

you mentioned the blake masters is losing to mark kelly in your poll by 8 points.. oz is behind by 11 points. herschel walker is behind by 3 and vance is losing to ryan. portman won by 20 points. if joe biden is the least popular president in the history of presidential polling. we have the worst inflation in 40 years. highest gas prices on record. worst crime rate since the 1990s. worst border crisis in the history. if this isn't a red wave to put red wave away and somehow the democrats managed to keep the senate, that would be a huge defeat for the republican party. >> bret: you are already hearing the senate minority leader, he said it here on "special report." he said it again today saying that, well, you know, it's possible that we don't win the senate back and it's candidate choices is what he called it today, mitch mcconnell did. >> leader mcconnell is rightly setting expectations low. but, you know, bret, you and i talked about it we do not believe poll something anywhere accurate. i went back and looked at the ron johnson and russ feingold race from 2016.

blake masters in arizona four points under water.w if i've ever recalled a number that bad in a purple state for a republican candidate. ron johnson eight points under water. compare that to the democratic noom nominees who are above water here. it is very clear that democrats are ahead and the reason why is pretty simple and that is their candidates are liked and the republican candidates at this point are not, simply put. >> a few words from mcconnell about candidate quality getting everyone talking for sure on the senate side. harry, thanks very much. >>> let's get some analysis here and bring in senior political correspondent. let's start with the argument that mcconnell is making. he didn't have on name names but a number of the folks he is talking about clear and all backed and endorsed by trump. what do you make of it? >> yeah. these candidates have given mcconnell a lot of -- as well. some of them said publicly on the campaign trail they won't vote for him for leader if the republicans take back the senate. yeah, he always sa

blake. he had not complied with an arrest warrant. so that's what we could call peter nora ro territory. when police approached, he was not seen threatening or attacking. he was documented walking away, and that's when police shot him in the back seven times paralyzing him. they rushed to use force in this disturbing scene. >> we are not showing the entire video under our standards of practices. now every example is not the same. but some of of the commentators are. we just showed you trump ally and lawyer lindsey graham, who actually recently blew through and did not comply with an ordered court appearance in georgia. we'll see if he shows up. now in this report, we showed him insinuating that a, quote, gentleman should have complied. should have yielded when asked. just showed you mr. blake. that was senator graham talking specifically about jacob blake. >> i don't know why the gentleman didn't yield when he was asked to yield. >> he didn't yield in response to the shooting. that's the wro

if she wins this nomination as blake masters as won the republican senate nomination, mark finchem, the trump-backed candidate wins that easily. this is the trump backed candidate who is leading. cleaned up in the same day vote yesterday. the potential there for the trump backed candidates to go four for four in arizona and to have a statewide republican ticket emerge in arizona that is more on board with trump and his claims about the 2020 election than any other statewide republican slate in a battleground state probably in the country, that potential is very real at this hour. >> it's fascinating. of course, a lot of democrats at the senate committee have to be excited at how a lot of their senate races are shaping up from dr. oz in pennsylvania, who has massively high unfavorability ratings to what's happening in ohio, georgia and now arizona. you have a senator there, senator kelly, who hasn't always performed as well in polls as expected, but they certainly have gotten their wish, going up against a trump-backed candidate. >> the trump-backed candidate and the trump-backed slate,

blake masters, who was a silicon valley chief operating officer for trump ally peter thiel's companyill face democrat mark kelly, a former astronaut. kelly has already received the endorsement of nearly 50 prominent indepedents and rebicans, incuding a few republican mayors, who were turned off by the options on the gop side. independent voters are very important in this state. they make up about 34% of voters in the state. and one big question is whether those voters will put off by these candidates' conspiratorial views, and like they did in 2020, swing the other way. judy: jessica, let me ask you about another state where we are seeing this divide play out in the republican party, this is in michigan. at is standing out to you about? jessica: i don't think i was particularly shocked by any of the successful candidates in michigan. i will say that the dead -- dynamics and michigan are really interesting. the person who won for republican nomination for governor has been asked, but has dodged several questions about whether or not she believes the 2020 election was stolen. she said
