Transcripts For CNNW Inside 20240704

Ohio sends a signal to the nation. Voters there decide on a Ballot Measure with big implications for women and 2024 as brand new poll numbers show a second straight summer of Deep Discontent with the Supreme Courts decision to wipe out roe. Plus the reset ripples all the way the to the top. Ron desantis replaces his Campaign Manager. Will the shird shakeup in less that be a month be a charm. And tell it to the heart. Republicans say an Impeachment Inquiry is the only one and the only way to move forward versus joe biden. New cnn reporting pins down when House Republicans plan to do this. Im dana bash. Lets go behind the headlines and inside politics. First, a Special Election that will tell us a lot about 2024 and just how much Abortion Rights will motivate voters. Today ohio goes to the polls. It may seem like a mundane question about constitutional math, but you read between the lines, it is very clearly about abortion. Republicans want to make it harder to rewrite the states constitution, which would make it easier to sideline attempts at expanding access. The august fight is anything but small time attracting big money from National Groups and already big turnout from voters. Lets get straight to ohio, where jeff zeleny is. Explain whats going on there and explain the stakes. Reporter Polling Places like the one behind me here in columbus are open across the state. They are at the halfway mark. This is a rare Special Election in august, as you said. This is why. Republican leaders of ohio scheduled this election to change the rules for what it takes to change the states constitution to simply vote on if it would take a 60 Super Majority of the public to change the constitution from the current 50 for a century its taken 50 to change the constitution. At issue here is Abortion Rights. A separate issue in november is going to be on the ballot then to try to enshrine Abortion Rights into this states constitution. Before that, Republican Leaders want to make it more difficult to get that passed. They were trying to schedule this during august during a Sleeper Election month when many are on vacation or not paying attention. Tens of millions of dollars have been spent, Television Ads are full of this topic here and conversation. The voters were talking to say that they were not caught off guard. It has drawn so much attention. Take a listen to one. The evidence is that the reason why it got put on the ballot this summer was for the abortion quote, but when you look at the other things that are coming along, whether or not the min munl wage or other things that the legislature is not taking up or taking up in a manner that they are not happy with, its aimed at preventing that. Reporter so this is a bit of a revolt, if if you will, against the legislature. The Citizen Initiative petition, citizens have their voice and say. You heard the voter talking about this is more than about abortion. Minimum wage is also beginning to be a potential constitutional amendment coming up next. Thats also driving much of this conversation. But abortion is first and foremost the topic here. We will see when the polls close tonight what this specific issue does. But regardless, that Abortion Rights issue will still be on the ballot in november. One year after roe vs. Wade was overturned, the states get their say. Just to reiterate, it will be on the ballot in november. The question is what threshold does it have to meet in order to get it passed. Really interesting to see whats going to happen today. Now here we have brand new cnn polling about Abortion Rights and how it could play in the 2024 election. As you see, cnns political director David Chalian is here. This is a national poll, not just look ing at ohio, where yo just saw jeff. Its telling us a pretty consistent story over the last year. Take a look. A year ago when dobbs came into place and roe was overturned, you had 63 not in favor of the decision. 37 actually approved of that Dobbs Decision that overturned roe. Its about the same now. Youre talking about nearly twothirds of americans in this poll who are opposed to what the Supreme Court did last year. And i just want you to look at some key demographics that we look ed at in this poll. Theres only one number here that is north of 50 . Thats among republicans. 68 approve of the Dobbs Decision. Every other group is down below 50 . Men, 44 approve. Older voters, 41 . White noncollege educated, 42 . But that doesnt get the majority status. Only republicans robustly support the move. Its so interesting. And its fascinating to see how consistent the polling is, especially on the first number. One of the big debates inside the republican primary contest is whether or not to support state bans on abortion or to make it a national ban. What did our poll show on that . This was a pretty interesting finding. For the outside Interest Groups on the antiAbortion Rights or pro life movement, youre going to see some success here that they have had. A year ago, youre among those who approve of dobbs x approve of overturning roe. 20 of those approvers were in favor of people pushing for a national ban back in july. Thats grown now. Now 34 of the voters who approve of dobbs, republicans, conservatives, pro life groups, 34 now say push for a nationwide restriction. Its still not the majority position, but outside groups, they are having an impact here seeing the base more interested in hearing those republican politicians push for a national ban. On the flip side, where democrats take strength, the potency of this issue is staying here. We asked, would you only vote for a candidate who shares your view on abortion . So four years in the midst of a democratic race, you see the numbers were here. A year ago, it was only 26 overall who said they must share their position on abortion to get their vote. Thats now up to 29 . Look how thats grown as a litmus test for democrats from a year ago. Among independents, its grown from 25 to 28 . Even among republicans, it stayed consistent. This is an issue growing in potency, even a year out, not shrinking. So interesting. A lot more to talk about. First, lets just talk about our listen to what the candidates who are on the trail have been saying about abortion. Im looking at a solution thats going to work. A very complex issue for the country. You wouldnt be having a discussion if you werent able to get rid of roe v. Wade. Every republican candidate for president should support a ban on abortion before 15 weeks as a minimum nationwide standard. I dont judge anyone for being pro choice anymore i want them to judge me for being pro life. She signed a Heartbeat Bill today. We were able to do that in florida. We had a lot of opposition to that. I would start the conversation with a limit of 15 weeks and try my best to get it more conservative. Here to share their i object sights, jeremy diamond, amy walter, and David Chalian is now here at the table. Good to see you all. Amy, im curious your thoughts on the findings of the national move when it comes to abortion. David stole, as usual because hes so smart, the thing i wanted to hone in on. The difference between 2019 and now, just the intensity of the issue. Especially among democrats and those people who describe themselves as liberal, versus people who are republicans, or describe themselves as conservative. And what david pointed out is, you can see on that chart, that the issue for democrats has become more potent than in 2019. Its been the same for republicans. They are more engaged than they were predobbs. And among liberals, this is much more of a biggish for them. Supporting only someone who supports Abortion Rights, Invesversus Conservatives back in 2019. Now liberals are more concerned. It is clear that this issue, number one, as your poll pointed out, its not going away. Its not getting easier for republicans to talk about, but for the democrats, it is still a motivating issue for their base. There was a question of how long was this momentum in politics going to last in terms of abortion being a motivating issue. Clearly, its still seeing a lot of staying power. This vote in ohio is going to be a good test. When you see it reflected in the votes, its another. Good news for the prch in the white house. As they ramp up the economic messaging, they are counting on abortion and other social issues to be motivating for their coalitions heading into the president ial campaign. Ron desantis, heres Somebody Running in a republican primary, court ing the right wing evangelical base, signs a sixweek bab in his state of florida. How does he sign it . At night with no cameras, puts out a foe top. Somehow he doesnt want to kpeeltly own it. He then when pressed about what he would do as the president in a National Federal position, its been a little americaier about let the states decide. So you see how nikki haley, tim scott, even donald trump has suggested this issue is not easy for republicans to run on because the real Public Opinion is overwhelming. So you watch them try to navigate it. Yet you hear the outside groups like the susan b. Anthony group. Im going to talk to an influential evangelical conservative in iowa about this. They argue that the reason why republicans didnt do as well in the midterm elections is because they ran away from it. They didnt have a clear, firm position. Does this bear that out . I think there are two ways to think about that. Abortion out there by itself in a vacuum, which never happens, but we can pretend. Now you marry abortion and donald trump, think about what youre talking about in 2022 kind of at the same time. The January 6th Hearings and abortion. When i talked to people after the election, republicans and democratic strategists on the issue of abortion, it came back to right, freedoms, it wasnt so much about 12 weeks, 6 weeks, we talk about it in medical terms, hast not how voters are looking at it. Its part of the same trend that were seeing. Whether its the capital being attacked, the Supreme Court taking away something we had for 50 years, they hear about a judge who says you cant have contraception or the morning after pill. It falls into that same category. You cant disentangle that now. Especially if trump is youre a standard barer. Thats really interesting. The Freedom Narrative is something we saw in bidens campaign. They are taking all of these issues together, lwhether its book bands or transgender rights or taking away Abortion Rights. They are putting it all under this narrative of freedom, which is interesting given that freedom is something you associate with the republican brand. They are trying to appropriate it to use a very modern term. I want to quickly surk the back to what jeff zeleny was reporting on about whats going on in ohio. I want to remind people, its a bit confusing. There is going to be a referendum on the ballot in november. The question is going to be what the threshold is. They want to see if it should get to 60 or not. Look back at some of the other referendums. Theres a reason why they are trying to make a 60vote threshold. When i say they, its republicans that dont want this question to be on the ballot. Do you think republicans were aware of those . It shows you its a higher burden for those who support enshrining Abortion Rights in the constitution. Which is why the folks on that side, on the pro abortion right side have made this Special Election in august, which republicans also hoped Special Election august maybe know its happening, they made it about abortion issue. Not about some rule changes, but about Abortion Rights. Everybody standby. Were going to talk about the campaign in crisis, the biggest shakeup yet for ron desantis.

The Campaign Manager is now going to be pushed to the side. The florida governors Chief Of Staff in tallahassee, the new boss has a reputation, hes going to be the new Campaign Manager, he has a reputation as an enforcer and it comes after six months of sinking polls and second guessing about how the campaign is spending its money and the candidates time. The change at the top was first report ed by The Messenger. Lets talk about it here. David chalian, your thoughts . We have been watching now a slow burn here for four weeks of a campaign reboot. So first of all, getting the Campaign Reset seems to be going as well as the campaign itself for the desantis team. I dont know why its taken this long, if youre making the decision, things are not going well. We have to shed a third of our staff. Were way overspending money. That needs to get into control. Our polls are slipping. Our donors are starting to complain to us. This has been happening for weeks. Now you invite yet another round of questions because now youre switching the person at the top. So i dont think this is a role model for any campaign of a fourweek process to actually say, hey, we know its not working. Were put ting a new thing in place. I just keep going back to, you know what, a campaign is a reflection of the candidate. You can change a lot on the campaign. But its the candidate that seems to be the big issue here. Now is he going to act differently . Is he going to implement a new strategy because theres a new person on top . Is he going to suddenly become a different kind of candidate . I have doubts about this, but fund thely, the challenge that he hz is that nothing he has done thus far has worked. The message of im the candidate who is the more reasonable trump or winnable trump candidate. So he tried to be that k candidate. Then hes the woke candidate, trying to take that lane. And now its the, well, trump really didnt finish what he started. I know how to finish what he started. He had three messages, but The Messenger himself is the bigger challenge, i think. Why do you say that . Because he doesnt necessary ily agree with that. I want to remind everybody what he said on fox at the end of july. Im not a political opera tuf. Im not a campaign professional. You set out the vision and you execute. If its not being executed, you make the court correction. Whats interesting is that going to that point is both his prior Campaign Manager is and this new Campaign Manager, neither of them have run a president ial campaign. And thats significant in and of itself. The only Silver Lining is hes choosing to do this in august and not just before the iowa caucuses. At least hes getting ahead of it, even if it took four weeks to do this reset. But i agree. At the end of the day, the question is ron desantis the right candidate more so than the organizational issues that his campaign has been having. The question that you asked about whether or not anybody who is at the top knows how to run a campaign is a good one, the larger question, which we were talking about during the break, is the superpac versus the campaign. I know this maybe sounds in the weeds, but first of all, this is inside politics, so this is what we do. But its really interesting. Two points, a longtime iowa operative is going to the campaign. So he is somebody who has experience, maybe on a state level, but certainly an o operative level. He came from the superor is coming from the superpac. The law was set up to make sure that there was no coordination between superpac and campaign. Superpacs were outside groups that can raise money differently than a campaign in much larger sums. What we have seen since their invention has been about advertising. Television ads and thats where the superpac money puts itself. What we see here with the ron desantis cam a pain is a reline on an outside group, unlike we have seen in modern president ial politics. So so much operationally has been farmed out and they cant be on daily conference calls. So perhaps that also has to do with the growing pains of the campaign operation. But the reason why so much has been farmed out to the superpac is because a superpac can raise unlimited funds. A campaign has limits. The superpac is the one that has the money. Thats the reason. Without a doubt. Theres that, and from all the reporting out there, the desantis team, and by team i mean ron desantis and casey desantis, his wife, are very insular. There are few people who have been able to break into that, to your point, not National Operatives who have run campaigns before, but even beyond that. I think its a very, very small circle of people with whom he trusts, takes advice from. The superpac can do whatever it wants. And they will go according to what they believe, based on the work they have done, should work. That doesnt you have to be on the same page at some point. How lucky that i get to spend time talking to you guys. I learn so much from you. Thank you so much. Another whirlwind day of legal developments in several cases surrounding donald trump.

The most watched, most written about person on the planet now claims theres a conspiracy to make sure you cant hear him speak. Donald trump says a lot including about his court case, the people prosecuting them and people presiding over them. That will probably continue the on the campaign trail today. Thats where we find kristen holmes. What are we expecting today . Reporter we do expect it to continue this talk about his legal issues, but the Special Counsel is watching what he says very closely. So the question is whether or not the former president can tamp down his rhetoric, particularly when it comes to his various legal problems. It doesnt seem as though hes going to. Moments ago they were testing out a video that went after alvin bragg, obviously from the new york indictment as well as jack smith and bonmy willis. Clearly putting the legal issues front and center here. We also saw another clip where they painted him to be a victim of a corrupt doj, saying he would never give up and never stop finding for his supporters. Thats really what we expect to hear today. Thats what Donald Trumps narrative has been around all of this, taking the legal issues, these charges and turning them into a political winning point. They believe, and they being trumps team that they can craft a narrative around this. Now whether or not that can happen is up in the air. He has a big crowd here. People were waiting outside. Theres people i talked to said they believe theres some sort of conspiracy against the formerer president. Im sure they absolutely did. Thank you so much, kristen. Appreciate it. Sometime this week, were going to get a hearing in the election subversion case over evidence rules, but today a remind er tht the Special Counsel is still working. The grand jury that handed last weeks indictment against the former president was in today, spot ted again, a clear indication that the investigation into donald trump is still very much ongoing. Here to share their insights is former fbi Deputy Director andy mccabe and paula reid. Just play one on tv. So talk about the back and forth in the filings between the Special Counsel and the trump legal team. Clearly, they are very far apart on exactly what any protective order should cover. You dont want defendants share ing Sensitive Information that they learn in the course of preparing for trial, but here they are extraordinary circumstances. We know the former president often goes on social media to share things prosecutors have expressed concern about how this could impact witnesses and other people in this case. Now prosecutors want a very broad protective order. They want this to be restrictive. They laid out their reasons for why. The form er president s lawyers are asking for something more senator row. They are saying this should be limited to the most Sensitive Information. They point to the fact that its what been applied. This is like any other case. Worse, it does so against its administrations primary political opponent during an election season. A lot to unpack there. Namely, they are arguing this is a First Amendment case, which the indictment preambled the indictment. Thats absolutely right its not a First Amendment case. It is clearly beneficial to the defendant to continue positioning it that way to recraft the narrative. Of course, it is. It enables him to not address the substance of the allegations against him, which are overwhelmingly negative. I think when you get past that top line in their response to the government, their argument about restricting the protective order to sensitive materials, it makes sense. Its not unreasonable. Both positions anticipate a process by which they can essentially organize later about individual pieces of evidence that have been turned over and the defense would like to share with people. So i think the substance of the trump teams argument is once you get past the First Amendment stuff, its reasonable. On the other hand, the clear theme in the governments motion is a concern about delay. They want to have this protective order in whatever form in place quickly so they can hand over what they describe as a massive amount of discovery to keep things moving a along. And the more we fight over these little details, the more the clock ticks. Which they are well aware of inside the trump team. Lets turn to what you heard and saw yesterday at the courthouse. That is an attorney for rudy giuliani, also a long time figure in new jersey and conservative political world, talk about that testimony and new information that you have about what happened inside. So yesterday this was the first investigative action that we have seen the Special Counsel take sibs they indicted former president trump. And this was an interview where they went there to speak with investigators directly. They did not appear before the grand jury, as some witnesses do there were five investigators, three prosecutors, two fbi agents there for this interview this was the first time meeting with prosecutors previously handed over hundreds of documents. We assume that most of the questions would be about rudy giuliani. Hes a longtime associate of rudy giuliani. He was on the legal team looking for any alleged fraud. But interestingly, part of the interview is about rudy giuliani, but they also asked about other people too. They asked about Sydidney Powel so a wideranging interview. I want to underline that it was at bernie kerr risks office. This was an Interesting Development for the Special Counsel. Its been a little tough to zero in on what is the real heart of their interest. I think its important to remember that bernie served as an investigator in suit of the fraud allegations. It turned over a lot of documents. They had an opportunity to review ahead of time. So i dont expect new bomb shells in there. But to the extent that trump attempts to make as a part of his defense, relitigating the questions of whether or not there was fraud, his work, those documents give the government some inas to what they actually investigated. It will identify other potential witnesses, people who claimed fraud, people who signed after thes about alleged fraud. It enables them to move forward on looking into the background of those allegations and how they were disproven before they will need that at trial. Its a Question Mark whether or not the trump team is going to go there on trying to argue that the election was stolen. Thats another can of worms. Thank you. New ads hit the air waves this iowa targeting Republican Voters on the fence about donald trump. Were going to talk to an influential iowa conservative about that, next.

This week voters in iowa are waking up to a new ad. And they are watching it on television. He probably doesnt wake up without 50 emails from Husband Attorneys about current or possible indictments. Thats every day of his life. Now. It hurts me to say because i had trump flags up in my house. I had one in my front yard. I was that guy. Not this time. I felt like i met my hero and he let me down. With fewer than six months to go until the first primary, the antitrump superpac is hoping to stare voters away from president trump, but the question is does trumps lead in the polls reflect reality on the ground . Thats what i want to get to with bob vander plat, the president and ceo of the conservative group the family leader, and a very influential voice for republicans in iowa. Good to see you. Thank you so much for joining me. You just heard a snippet of that new antitrump superpac ad. I know we should make clear you have said in no Uncertain Terms you will not support former president trump. Youre in touch with conservative voters every single day there. Do you think that what you just heard is the messages that will resinate . I think that message is resinating. In regards to we have seen different versions of that ad. People are basically saying theres a lot we can thank the former president and his administration on what they have done, but theres an Exhaustion Level right now about a complaint about the past, the continuing indictments and the more indictments coming, that people just really want to turn the page to the next generational leader, somebody with a fresh vision. I think iowa is wide open for that person to emerge. Well see when and if that happens. You say theres exhaustion. Theres another side to that coin. I want to give you an example of that. Thisvoter who in iowa who spoke to the new york times. He said, each indictment gets me leaning toward trump. Hes 45, hes from walkon, iowa. It wouldnt take much to change my mind. I think what it is is that the indictments, a lot of people are personalizing that. They are seeing the attacks on trump being ab attack on them. Therefore, they feel with their heart they still want to support the former president. But then they start thinking about we need to win in 2024. And they believe, like i believe, that the former president , although hes done a lot of great thing, he presents our biggest risk of losing in 2024. So therefore, we need to choose and choose well. We need to think clearly who we are choosing. What are you hearing on the ground there in iowa in your conversations with republicans every day that we cant see here in washington . I think what it is is just the boots on the ground you have ron desantis here all the time. You have nikki haley, mike pence now pmaking the debate stage. People are really kicking the tires. For example, darla and i took ron desantis to church on sunday. Its something we do to different candidates. Just organically, people started forming lines and wanted to meet him. A lot of them pledged support right there. They want wanted to meet his wife as well. That organic nature is something that the polls dont pick up and people dont pick up. It indicates iowa is wide open. You mentioned ron desantis. I will ask you about the news today that he replaced his Campaign Manager, another sh shakeup. What does that tell you . I think hes refining his campaign. Hes playing to win. Every candidate has to go through that. I think in 2015, donald trump took about six months for him to get his sea legs. Running for president is a tough job. Not just for the candidate, but the staff as well. So my guess is each campaign will go through different versions of what their Campaign Looks like. I dont think people are going to be more concerned about the message and The Messenger. It is inside politics, so were just going to go there on inside baseball. I want to talk about something thats not inside baseball. That is the question and the issue of abortion. Cnn has some fresh polling today about it. Just the sort of preface i should tell people is your organization is staunchly pro life. You personally are advocating for a National Abortion ban and encouraging republan candidates to embrthat message. I want you to listen to the findings from that poll. Voter o is approve of the decision to overturn voe roe vs. Wade66 of republicans think this should be a state issue. 71 of independents say the same. 71 of independentsay it should be a state issue. So the question is, are you concerned that youre pushing candidates to take a position that might work in the shortterm but might be politically unpopular in a general election . Not at all. We dont believe abortion is a state rights issue. We believe its a human rights issue. So states like iowa have passed a Heartbeat Bill. South carolina has done the same. Florida has done the same. We do believe whats extreme and thats what joe biden and others basically project, and that is abortion on demand until the time of birth. Thats why we think there needs to be a level at the federal level. Were saying this makes a lot of sense. The 15week limit, there needs to be a limit to reign in the extreme positions of the left like biden. I dont think thats an extreme position. The polling is about 70 . I just the to say that i have not talked to a democrat who wants abortion on demand until time of birth, but well have to leave it there. We have more to talk about you and i have another conversation. Thank you for joining me. Thank you. Brand new reporting from capitol hill. Thats next.

That goes inside the House Republican fight over not if, but when, to launch an Impeachment Inquiry against president joe biden. Manu raju has the new reporting. Hes on capitol hill. What are you hearing . Reporter Speaker Mccarthy has not officially said there would be an Impeachment Inquiry, but that is the belief among a wide range of republicans we spoke to over the last several days that, in fact, when they come back in the fall, they could move forward with an Impeachment Inquiry as part of their allegation that joe biden was engaged in a pay to play scheme with his son hunter biden while he was vice president. Now, theres no evidence to corroborate that central claim. Theres other evidence they have come up with through the course of their investigation that they believe requires a further probe. If they go that route to open up an Impeachment Inquiry, that would require a vote of the house. Kevin mccarthy cant lose four members to go forward on that. Theres some members like congressman don bacon who are concerned about going that route or at least that they should investigate further to charge the president with high kcrimes and disdemeanors. Theres tons of smoke, but the committee wants to verify whats beneath that. This is going to be a major focus for republicans in the fall. The white house says its a partisan political stunt, no evidence to back up the claims. Republicans believe it needs more digging. Thank you for that great reporting.
