like herself erin. >> all right. jeff zeleny. thank you very much from milwaukee tonight and thanks so much to all of you for being with us is always anderson starts now tonight on 360 breaking news, the former president wants his new york gag order lifted the latest on why and what impact greater freedom to speak out could have on a sentence he receives also tie attorney general garland under oath, facing republican allegations of weaponizing the justice system of those inflammatory claims stand up against the the full facts. >> and as the president takes executive action on gun on undocumented migrants, a store you'll only see here how one man has taken the issue into his own hands. what he encounters in his knights on the border good evening. >> thanks for joining us. we begin with breaking news request late today from the former president's legal team to lift the gag order. now that a jury has found him guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to keep word of its hush money payment to stormy daniel's from reaching voters in the 2016 election? as you know, gag order or not, he's already said plenty about the judge. the judge's daughter, and witnesses in the case. now his lawyers are seeking free rein, seen as keras canal is here with the tails also joining us bestselling author and former federal prosecutors, jeffrey thuban. and retired new york judge joel kahn visor, longtime friend of the trial judge in the case. so qarrah, what does the trump team want? >> so trump's team is saying now that the trial is over and the gag order that was put in place to protect the witnesses, the jury, from trump's comments. now that it's over there saying that the judge should lift this gag order, so they write in the letter to the judge now that the trial is concluded, the concerns articulated by the government and the court do not justify continued restrictions on the first amendment rights of president trump, who remains the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election. and the american people and they go on to say that they think that there's even a stronger argument now to remove it because president joe biden has made comments on the verdict and has stormy daniels and michael cohen to the key witnesses. so the court spokesman for the judge they're just says the order speaks for itself. the da's office has declined to comment i mean, either way, trump has not prohibited from talking about the trial, talking about the verdict. it's just he's prohibited from speaking about these witnesses and the jury. and the question will be, expect the da's office will file a response and then ultimately see what the judge does. >> geoff amuses a reasonable request. >> i think it is a reasonable request when it comes to the witnesses, the idea behind a gag order about witnesses is that you don't want to affect their testimony in any way. they are they have testified the testimony is over. also, you have the main key witnesses in this case, michael cohen, stormy daniels, david pecker, hope hicks, they're all public figures with access to the press themselves. several of them have already commented, i think it's a little different with the jury. i think judges are very protective of jurors, even after they have served, especially is such an inflammatory situation. here and were their identities have largely been kept secret. i wouldn't be surprised if the judge kept the restrictions on the jury and effect, but witnesses, i do think trump has a good point, judge, viewgroup. >> i do. i agree that it is not entirely a crazy request, but it would not be crazy for him to continue the gag order either. let's remember, the defendant is convicted, but the case has not wrapped up that defendant is yet to be sentenced and a judgment of conviction, therefore, has not yet been entered. so i think it'd be well within his rights to do it, but i agree completely that the judge that any judge we're much more concerned about jurors, than witnesses particularly public witnesses, who have been speaking out, would that geoff would that from a legal standpoint and even exist after whatever the sentencing is. i mean, if if can a judge have a permanent gag order protecting witnesses four, no. >> no. i mean, he his jurisdiction over the case continues as long as the case is in effect, is pending if this case is obviously going to be appealed, it would then be up to the court of appeals to decide if they want to issue a gag order. >> frankly, i've never even heard maybe you have. i've never heard of a court of appeals issuing a gag order, so i think this only applies until the sentencing, which is now june, july 11, which is just a little more than a month away so care when will this be ruled on i mean, expectation is that the da's team will respond probably pretty quickly. and then i would think that the judge would make a decision. i mean, he he has he has complete control control this calendar so he could decide to just not rule on it until the sentencing or he could decide to do it more quickly. there's not really an immediacy to this request. it's not an emergency requests of any kind in the sentencing is about six weeks away. so it's really up to the judge to decide when he's going to do that. and if he's going to wait until the end of the proceedings in terms of the width sentencing, if the former program was to violate the current gag order, how much would that play into his previous violations? >> how much would that play into sentencing about possible prison time or not? >> i think that's an excellent question and i say that because when it comes i'm just two sentencing, the world is the judge's oyster and can consider anything when you're when you're in a courtroom, when you're making rulings and they're coming fast and furious on evidentiary issues. it's one thing. there are rules to follow. there are really not a lot of rules in terms of sentencing. and the judge can and should look at everything, including what the defendant has said, what remorse, if any, if he's attacking witnesses. the judge should consider that. i certainly would remember. >> it's he was found in contempt. i mean, that is a separate violation. and what was i think it was 11. 11 different ten different findings of contempt that is entirely relevant. wasn't to the decision on sentencing, doesn't mean he's gonna get jail time, but it's certainly pushes jail time into a more likely area, given a very serious thing that contempt of court is if thuban thanks, judge kind of visor. kara scannell. thanks so much. now, keep it a honest study in contrast in one hearing at the capitol today, fbi director christopher wray warned of a series of domestic threats facing the country when i look back over my career in law enforcement, i would be hard-pressed to think of a time when so many different threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated, all at the same time. >> but that is the case. as i sit here today those threats he told us senate panel include the potential for coordinated attack, like the march isis k masker at a russian concert hall last march, computer ransomware attacks and the fentanyl epidemic that was one hearing and scary though this specifics where everything else about it was fairly the typical. by contrast, over on the house, sayyed, was anything but as republican members of the house judiciary committee grilled, director raised boss, attorney general merrick garland in their battle against what they say is a weaponized justice system targeting the former president mr. trini. general, there's no blinking. the fact that for the first time in american history, we do have a presidential administration is working to put its opponent in jail well, as many others have reported, there's no evidence the justice department fbi investigators, several federal grand juries and judges are doing anything but their jobs and no evidence that any federal officials influenced new york authorities. >> the judge or the 12 jurors who convicted the former president but that is not stopping the allegations is seen as manu raju fanned out today. >> you swear or affirm under penalty of per attorney general merrick garland facing off with his loudest critics on capitol hill. >> i will not be intimidated. and the justice department will not be intimidated and calling out gop attacks that his department is behind the new york hush money case that may donald trump, the first ever x president to become a convicted felon. >> that conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself. republicans firing back, we'll the department of justice provides to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and alvin bragg's office and fani willis, those office and letitia james office. >> the offices you're referring to are independent offices of state. >> i get that. i get that. de the question is one that you will provide all of your document minton correspondence that's the question. it's i don't need a history lesson well i'm going to say again, we do not control those offices. >> they make their questions indicate with them not whether you control them, do you? indicate with them and we provide those qut make a request. >> we will refer it to our office of legislative, but there's the thing they come in here and you lodge this attack that it's a conspiracy theory, that there is coordinated lawfare against trump and then when we say fine, just give us the documents, give us the correspondence. >> and then if it's a conspiracy theory that will be evident, demo all right. >> said republicans were playing for an audience of one. >> there were about to nominate a convicted felon and they don't know how to cope with that. >> the gop taking aim at garland for appointing special counsel jack smith, who is leading the prosecution against trump in two federal indictments your first choice? i'm not gonna go into the question. >> did you know him before you picked him? i did not. did he ask for the job this is not a job. >> i don't think anybody asks for. that's not that sorry. but that's not the question i asked you. i said did jack smith asieh not asked me for the job? no. >> garland today refusing to comply with the house subpoena for audio of special counsel, robert hur's interview was president joe biden over his handling of classified documents in that 388 page report, hurd declined to prosecute biden, citing in part how a jury would view him as a sympathetic, well-meaning meaning elderly man with a poor memory, releasing the audio would show cooperation with the department in future investigations. >> republicans accusing garland of protecting biden as they threatened he attorney general with contempt of congress, is it because doj has determined the president is not mentally fit to defend himself and stand trial for his ghraieb, former president trump is i say again, that's an inaccurate description of mr. hur's report under cutting the gop's criticism is the fact that two sitting democratic congressman and the president's own son, hunter, are facing three separate criminal indictments. >> so you've prosecuted democrats as we speak a hunter biden who is a son of the president, is under trial in delaware. you haven't weaponized the justice department in terms of hiding and protecting democrats. menendez cuellar and hunter biden the justice department follows the facts and the law now, merrick garland also faced questions from three gop hardliner today about the treatment of january 6, prisoners three, these three congressman roy biggs and massie, right in a letter to garland in part of what they say is in addition, other investigations have pointed to the fbi's possible involvement in facilitating the events of january 6. >> they cite as as evidenced in this letter, a new york post columnist peas from last year about this topic. now, it is important to point out, anderson that the fbi director christopher wray, has repeatedly testified, but the fbi had absolutely no involvement in the attack on january 6, the justice department itself has prosecuted hundreds of people, many of whom pleaded guilty, admitted they are wrong, and some of them also, of course, anderson said they came to the capital because they thought they're following trump's orders, not erasure mano. thank you. california democratic congressman adam schiff for you saw briefly in moniz report serves on the judiciary committee there's a former member of the select committee on january 6. he's more than qualified to speak to allegations about the fbi's role on that day. i mean, i guess i shouldn't be surprised, but it is i mean, it's still just strikes me as bizarre. that's so many house republicans keep pushing a debunk claim that the fbi played a role in facilitating the events in january 6, it is crazy and they know better and they continue to push all of these conspiracy theories. we heard today. as jim jordan, matt gaetz and others tried to suggest that the justice department or the president was behind the mat manhattan da's prosecution they understand how the court system first lady know that the federal system is completely separate and distinct from a local prosecutor's office like that. i'm manhattan matt gaetz for his own part as all too much experience in the criminal justice system, being the subject of sex trafficking case. so they understand how the system works, but they wish to mislead the public they want to somehow obscured the fact that they're about to be nominee is now a convicted felon and they're willing to tear down the justice system and do what ever is necessary in the service of that deeply flawed human being. you said that in the hearing that's what you think is at the heart of this, that they're freaked out. >> essentially over trump's conviction and are trying to figure out how to deal with it absolutely and not just in committee, but so many of them in fact, when they were holding merrick garland in contempt, a couple of weeks ago they had many members absent, some of which were absent because they weren't manhattan standing outside the courthouse, essentially paying field tea once again to donald trump they hope to avert a conviction now that there are multiple, multiple convictions, they're just tearing everything down and doing such enormous damage. >> you'll one of the questions i didn't have a chance to ask merrick garland today is what's the effect in courthouses around the country? undoubtedly. and i've heard this from prosecutors peters you have defendants making the trumpian argument that they're prosecutions are a witch-hunt. there a hoax there, a sham attacking the fbi. and the same language that donald trump, it is enabled on the committee are using and this is really undermining the rule of law everywhere the level of dysfunction in these hearings. i mean, we've seen look for for a long time. we've seen in hearings like this politicians on all sides of the aisle, grandstanding, playing for cameras and stuff like that. but just in your experience, how does it compare now to what you have seen or we've all seen in the past well, it is just a whole, another order of magnitude of deterioration in the past, you would have kind of a one-off member here are there who said stuff that was just plain crazy? >> now, it is just routine and there is this, i think pernicious competition among members of the gop, both as to who can essentially kiss donald trump's brass ring. more demonstrably than the other or just say the most extreme things, it's become a venue for really a form of viral performance. art. >> and it will, it won't continue this way in definitely, i think when trump leaves the stage for good, which i hope will be a november, i think the temperature comes down. but nevertheless, we're seeing what people are really made of congressman schiff, i appreciate your time. thank you so much. more prospection now from john miller, chief law enforcement intelligence analyst, and a veteran and the fbi in new york police department how i mean, is there a real-world threat based on these kind of conspiracy theories? does it actually, is it actually dangerous well, it is because what we saw today and not the first time anderson, i think as congressman, find it out, is the difference between a queue and non conspiracy chat room with the crazy conspiracy theories that have been spawned. >> a congressional hearing has narrowed now to almost nil. why is that concerning? if you're the justice department, if you're the fbi, there are people out there because this is the light off repeated just becomes some kind of truth. there are people out there that these investigators will be interviewing, will be seeing, will be investigating where they expect that trust and confidence in the fbi and the justice department. and this foments, these doubts, these are sworn oath taking career civil servants. i worked in the fbi. i dealt with the department of justice every day. these are people who as i did, worked for republicans, worked for democrats. and will work for republicans and democrats today. and to the fbi academy, a sheriff gave me an expression a long time ago and he said, if you're going to go wrestle with a pig, you're both going to get mud on you. the difference is the pig likes it when these people go before congress and they take that oath to tell the truth, the people asking these questions they don't have to have the truth. the question is the stunt do you do you talk to people in the doj, the fbi? >> i'm sure all the time. does this have an impact on morale? >> oh, it does. and why they know that? what's being said isn't true they know that the hearing is essentially for this kind of showmanship but they also know that when they get out of the car to walk up there walkway, their neighbors are looking at them and wondering, like, is that the justice department that joe works at? is that the fbi that bill serves in and it affects morale, especially because they take this so seriously if you you listen to merrick garland's last words in his statement, he said, i will not be intimidated and the justice department will not be intimidated we will continue to do our job free of political influence or fear and that is what they're counting on. its it's you think works. i mean, do you think they are intimidated well, i think that it has an effect when you're working on a case and they tell you, you follow the facts. >> the case is the boss. don't worry about politics when you, when you see your political masters your elected officials accusing the fbi of being behind january 6 singling out individual agents and prosecutors and saying they are behind conspiracies by naming them, by saying we're going to defund the fbi. we're going to defund jack smith's investigation. it can't not have some effect. what they count on as their leadership to protect them from political influence. and we saw even at the end of the trump administration, his own political appointees to the justice department resigning and threatening to resign and mass if he forced them to follow these false election interference allegations. so what merrick garland is cautious, he is measured to the point of being boring today, what we saw was he was angry and who's defending his agency and his people. >> john miller. thanks very much next to people taking action on the border. >> president biden, and the latest some steps you took today and a man, you'll meet here tonight. military veteran, who's made it his new mission to see the problems up close and document them. later. day. one of evidence and the hunter biden trial, including the defendant's own words played by prosecutors describing his descent into drug addiction the day you get your clear choice dental implants changes your struggle with missing teeth forever it changes how you eat, how you feel and how you enjoy life it changes. >> your smile. and now others smile at you. clear choice network what doctors have changed over 100,000 lives with dental implants. and they can change yours too because a clear choice de, changes every day schedule a free consultation in here. you can expect defined crystal clear audio expensive display space endless entertainment and more comfort for everyone but even with all that we still left room for all well, the unpredictability spontaneity and unexpected things. >> you'll find out here. >> the new 2024 grand cherokee lineup jeep. >> there's only one. >> and it guy can give over the phone done within blow on, gave a causing thing going garden can slaving and good with hadn't balls i have another scope both i'm john them know five things into petition says in a statement of law and deep launched five and good night. >> vision works. >> see the difference a widely filter, it's well-designed and efficient. >> i appreciate that leaf filters technology keeps debris out of your gutters go ahead. >> guaranteed. >> what more could you ask for, colleague 33 lee filter today, more visit lee filter.com at fisher investments. >> we may look like other money managers, but were different. >> you can't be that different. >> we are we have a team of specialists, not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more, your clients rely on you all that?

walmart, are these retailers news night with abby phillip tonight at ten eastern on cnn it's more breaking news tonight measures allowing the government to bar migrants who cross the border illegally from seeking asylum go into effect at midnight as follows from executive action that president biden took earlier today, months after the former president to real bipartisan border security legislation. and with the issue looming large in the presidential race i'm moving past republican instruction using the executive authorities available me as president to do what i can on my own to address the border frankly, i would've preferred to address this issue through bipartisan legislation because that's the only way to actually get to kind of system we have now is it's broken fixed we're now from cnn's priscilla alvarez at the white house four. so can you talk about what the new executive order and tails? >> well, anderson, this is a sweeping measure that will essentially have huge ramifications at the us-mexico border for migrants who are seeking asylum. what it does is it shuts off asylum access for migrants who cross the border illegally when there's a daily threshold, men of 2,500, that means that border authorities can turn people back to mexico or remove them to their country of origin. now there are some exemptions for unaccompanied migrant children and select others. but senior administration officials say this is going to take effect immediately, and it's already having fierce backlash from progressives and members of president biden's own party who say this is a page from donald trump's playbook and indeed present or if former president donald trump did try to do this exact thing in 2018 using the same authority, but was eventually blocked by the courts. now, of course, the timing here is notable, were only a few weeks away from the first presidential the bait and voters rank immigration as one of their top issues. and this is a president who has been slammed repeatedly by republicans and democrats over his handling of the us. mexico border. so taken together today really amounts to a significant policy shift for this white house, which began its administration, saying it wanted to restore asylum is now working to shut that valve off for some migrants. so all of this anderson just clearly an indication of the president trying to blunt republican attacks and preempt his republican rival on the campaign trail. >> and it seems likely there'll be core challenges that's exactly right. the aclu already saying they plan to take this to court to challenge it in court. they did that during the trump administration and they had some success, as i mentioned, the courts eventually blocked former president donald trump from using this very same authority and senior administration officials acknowledged that be the case in a call with reporters today. in that they expected litigation from the right or the left on this very issue which goes to show that really at the end of the de, the executive is quite hamstrung when it comes to any changes on the us-mexico border, they do need congress. that is true. it's only congress that can really overhaul the us immigration system. but at the end of the day, this is a massive change for this white house, which began on a different note back in 2021. >> so alvarez, thanks very much seen as david culver, is that a board across in san diego with a story of one man who has made patrolling the border personal mission, david mann anderson, i'm going to introduce you that man in just a minute, but i wanted to show you what's happening live behind me. david, one step over here. photo journalist block get up, peaks through the barrier and you can see there's a group of about a dozen migrants. they've been here a few hours now and they're lined up and this is the process that plays out dozens of times. >> each day, hear my along the san diego sector of the us southern border. >> and it's really down to a perfect science at this point with the order since they know what to put in the bags and they have the folks put everything that can't be carried on them into those bags, one bag and then they get on board. the van they had to then detention centers where they're gonna be processed. most of them under claims of a silent. now the question is going to be in today's to come when they hit that threshold that personally was talking about what really happens to them in theory, they would be put on a van, put into the detention center, and then driven right back over into mexico. now, and can that veteran who we spent time with late last night into the early hours this morning. and as that executive action was coming into play, he wanted to so what's the crisis firsthand keeping up with corey, go to row is a challenge, especially on dirt roads as the sun sets on the california, mexico border. he's gotten word migrants have just crossed we're watching this. you can actually see if you've given they just brought it up. border patrol van and they'll load them up on that van and continue on to the processing centers. i mean, you see this pretty regularly, i assume two, because this is your community new people that come out and see this firsthand. >> it's a shock to them. it's very confusing. still confusing to me, but it's not not necessarily a shock. this is just every day the life here. now, here is san diego county inquiry is not border patrol, but an army veteran who admits he's become obsessed with understanding this migration surge and it's very frustrating to watch this stuff happened in my backyard when we have veterans in our country who don't have homes donald health care i feel like we should prioritize some things so from the cell phone connection kory's began collecting what migrants leave behind. most surprisingly, passports and ids it's mexican immigration altogether. he said hundreds of ideas where do you keep them secret location where is it on the way there or he stops and points out vulnerabilities in the border wall places. >> he says smugglers direct migrants to cross. and he shows us remnants of recent camp sites so this is, as you see it, a collection that represents the migration crisis impacting the us right now. >> in the san diego sectors specifically. >> so you've got a group from china, got other parts of south america central america, south america here. credit cards as well. >> what do you make of all this i don't know. >> i don't know what you make of it and it's just kind of insanity that people will leave these personal documents behind and why collect them each one of these people has a story, whether that story is coming here for asylum or coming here to have a better life, were coming here for nefarious reasons they've all going to store in recent weeks query along with friends who don't want to be on camera, have documented what they've seen. this thermal camera video appearing to capture a smuggler dropping off a large group, then taking off here, the desert nightfall brings freezing tempts. migrants often burn whatever might bring them some more form we joined corey after just a few hours of sleep. he's heading out at 4:00 a.m. to see what might happen in the hours leading up to biden's executive action aimed to limit border crossings we. >> don't try to keep my finger on the pulse because it changes so rapidly with the sunup query drives us to a path where most migrants are now believed to be entering here through brian syllabus his property on the weekends, just like two or three big big droops going to have room where, which way or my way he's even pointed out to us signs that have gone up in recent weeks you can see in different languages, asylum and the arrow pointing this way then along the way, there are these ribbons you can see when in this bush that then give migrants and indication of which direction they should keep going just after we part ways with query, we see one migrant who's taken that path walking alone where are you from from turkey. and he tells us the direction he's going. here. we see a group that's now pulled over there by this truck. they're getting in this we drive on and find dozens more staggered along the dirt road egyptian. >> welcome to yours egypt ecuador colombia brazil china. this mom and her young daughters, waviness down hoping we might be border patrol good. gukesh, turkey from turkey. >> they're all headed the same direction he says he's going to walk up here and asic a lot. no his knowledge is it's hot, but he says he's got a hurry along because he's going to then continue on to an immigration official to start the process for for asylum. >> brian says life and ecuador was becoming unbearable. >> instability, which we've seen firsthand driving him northward. he and the others join several dozen more migrants lined up and following instructions from cbp agents they fill the van which drives off as more migrants march in david. >> have you seen signs that people are changing plans to get across the border before the law goes into place it was something i asked each migrant anderson that we came across. >> they said with this executive i've order. did it make you want to get here quicker? if what if been impacted have have most everyone looked at me and said what executive order they just don't follow it that closely and it's something i saw about a year ago with the lifting of title 42, were folks would say, look, us policy changes so quickly via from the president, congress, the courts we can't bet our lives around it. i wanted though anderson to include that story from ecuador that was brian there you go back five months we were reporting for your show so on the violence and ecuador and he goes to the root cause of this migration, right? he's somebody who's dealing with instability in his home country. and because of that instability that we covered he said, i'm leaving a country that was known as the island of peace of latin america. i'm headed north they would koehler. >> thanks very much. get some sleep coming up. opening statements in the second day of the hunter

remarks, prosecutors use button words and voice from his audio book to describe his drug use and showed pictures for cocaine retrieve from his electronic devices. >> first lady jill biden, was in court again today. paula reid has more in their opening, prosecutors told the jury, we're here because of the defendants lives and choices. no one is above the law. it doesn't matter who you are or what your name is. prosecutors also had to address the sensitive and ubiquitous topic of addiction, an issue central to this case. and one that the majority of potential jurors said they had experience with either directly or with a loved one addiction may not be a choice, but buying a gun is defense attorneys tried to shift the focus to a hunter state of mind. >> they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that hunter knowingly violated the law inferring that a hunter was going through periods of sobriety amid his addiction? >> it could be reasonable for him, did not know he was breaking the law by indicating on a federal gun buying form that he was not using or addicted to drugs. his defense attorney said hunter didn't have much interest in buying a gun and the salesmen lead hunter two guns while he was browsing other items at least one juror was seen dabbing her eyes during the defense opening and during the testimony of the first witness, an fbi agent the jury heard long portions of hunter biden's memoir, which he narrated detailing his addiction to drugs i possessed a new superpower, the ability to find crack and anytown at any time, no matter how familiar the terrain it was easy prosecutors also introduced electronic evidence, including the infamous laptop and text messages from several devices some of those text messages said to be about his efforts to get drugs and meet with dealers in 2018, we're also shown to the jury in one text, hunter allegedly wrote asap, if you can, another reading, can you come this way now? >> and a text from another alleged contacts to hunter singh you want ten grams. the jury also saw several images of drugs that the agent testified were found on hunters devices. they also saw the atf form where hunter allegedly

federal level. more recently, shubi been involved in another kind of battle involving her own health last summer, she was diagnosed and underwent surgery for fast-moving brain cancer glioblastoma. she's still undergoing treatment and is receiving chemotherapy and thankful she could join us for her first tv interview since the diagnosis and surgery thank you so much for being with us first of all, how are you doing i'm doing really well. >> i'm i'm almost one year after having this tumor diagnosed and taken out. and, you know, it's there has been highs and lows, but i feel really fortunate jeanette to have health care that is first-class living in new york city and its many me appreciate how much all, all people need health care. >> you actually had surgery the same day that your daughter gave birth? to a little boy yeah. >> i have. you became a grandmother and the same day you had exactly mine was not planned, but hers wasn't planned but it's been an incredible journey teddy has his name and we face time every morning before lily goes to work and it's just been it's makes every day great. >> no matter what happens. we're growing our hair out together because i lost all live and learning to verbalize things together. it's been it's been a great experience and i love him more than anything so you are still you are still in you were fighting for your health, but you are also still fighting for, for women around the country well i am i think we all have to do what we can do and it's a meaningful i spent my life doing work that was rewarding and i've so privileged to be able to do jobs that i thought made a difference. >> what do you think the likelihood if donald trump has is re-elected that a federal abortion ban would be signed i think it's totally likely if the republicans control the congress and donald trump has re-elected there's no way i can assign an abortion ban he is the reason we're in this fix. his first term was responsible for three justices on the supreme court that voted to overturn roe creating chaos. and really thinkable situations for women and no doubt about it. he would sign any bill that he came to his desk. >> where do you see the where are the frontline battles now? in this next year, do you think well, there there'll be ballot initiatives on states that could preserve the right to abortion in arizona and florida. >> those are critical and it's interesting, donald trump's line now is states rights. the, he just wants to leave it to the states. well, i've been in the states and it's not a pretty picture there was just a story last year about a 12-year year-old girl and mississippi. let's see, i know you know, you have experience in mississippi. she was raped sexually assaulted in her front yard by a stranger and the her mother couldn't get her to chicago to get an abortion so she started seventh grade this fall with a newborn and that's what states rights means for so many women. so i'd like to ask donald trump, is that what you see is the future for women in america? >> given what you personally are facing a lot of people in your situation might just focus on your health and focus on your family and taking the best care of yourself as possible. you're you're still out fighting the fight i mean, it's so important to me, but i do spend a lot of time with my family. >> i care about them i'm so proud of each of them i have three kids, grown kids, and they're all like following their passions, but i was raised in a family that believed, you just that public service was a value and you are your mother's daughter if only but she used to say one others and richard? yes. >> yes, i am richards daughter and i love to think that lily, just my daughter just had an richards first great grandchild. >> but teddy but mom had a lot of advice. i know i know you're rob. he did it surprises me i think your mother probably did too, but two things i never forgot. one is this is the only life you have do it do it now. and whatever needs doing. and the other thing she felt so strongly about and why she was in public service issues to say, why should you your life? only be about you. and that really helps especially at times like this, when you're facing a really tough diagnosis and but it's important to me and it's important to my kids that they see me doing things in the world as long as i can

sensors took are signal off the air today marks 35 years since china's deadly crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in beijing's tenement square, 35 years ago today, red army tanks and troops moved in. witnesses told horrifying stories. some opening fire the next day, june 5, 1989, this defining image of the crackdown that are an unidentified man in a white shirt facing off against a column of tanks. brave loan act of defines his name, the fete remain a mystery no official death toll was ever released by the chinese government, but china tonight he joins us from taipei, taiwan so can you just remind people of what this anniversary represents? it will in june 4 4, 1989 35 years ago we don't know, as you said, how many people were massacred and gentlemen squared, these were young, some of the best and brightest minds in china who were out protesting for democracy, protesting for an end to government corruption. >> and they're calls were brutally suppressed by the people's liberation army. the day after this video. and that iconic photo, which has been since known as tank man, we don't know the name of this man. who looks like he was just walking to work and stood in front of a column of tanks. they were shooting bullets above his head, trying to get him to get out of the way, even getting these photos to the rest of the world was was quite an ordeal because at that time, beijing was shutting down all live transition cnn had to hide its videotapes in the the us embassy before tours smuggled them in a suitcase and flu for them to hong kong, which at that time was free to report about this. it's very different situation today. and the photo, the most famous one there were about six of them, but the most famous was jeff weiner of the api. they had to smuggle the film in a canister hidden in the tiger for shoe, just to get these images to the world. but they remain and not only iconic to this day, but i think for a lot of people, a symbol of the individual standing up to the power of the state. >> and we're showing you the color bars that is happening in china right now. we're being censored as soon as we mentioned, as i said ties. but for the commercial break that we're gonna be talking about ten minutes square. these color bars went up and the signal is now being blocked. so tenement vigils have also obviously been banned in china. what security been like there well, obviously there's always heavy security at tenement square. there's heavy security in hong kong at victoria park where up until 2020, there were protests every year, sometimes 150,000 people this year, they arrested for people, two men, two women, ages 23269 that's based we all that's left of any commemoration of tenement square in hong kong. and yeah, as you see from the color bar, is china has essentially tried to erase this moment, this date, june 4, 1989, from his history, i have friends who grew up in china, who are highly educated people, but they didn't even know about the tenement square massacre unti
