>> he was henderson and james kirby were all from the united kingdom they worked for real central kitchen security team. may they rest in peace and may their memories be a blessing? their memories be a blessing? the news continues on cnn right now >> i'd run next the breaking news, a major setback for trump tonight. a judge denying a desperate attempt to delay his first criminal trial, which starts in just days. this is the judge he appointed in the classified documents case is facing accusations that is delaying the trial for the man who appointed hur trump himself >> also >> breaking congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's speaking to our manu raju and tripling down on her threat to oust the speaker, mike johnson
4:02 pm
will she really do it? and khentii succeed >> plus >> more trouble for truth, >> social is the stock tumbles. there now charges of insider trading lawsuit against the sides co-founders, who by the way, happens to be former apprentice stars. let's go out front good. >> evening i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. we begin with the breaking news, and that is a trump lost tonight. a new york judge tonight rejecting one of trump's last ditch efforts to delay his criminal hush money trial. >> trump's team >> wanted the case delayed until after the supreme court rules on trump's immunity claim, right? he is that is a fail for trump's delay strategy in this case.
4:03 pm
>> but >> that strategy is finding fertile ground with the judge in florida. but tonight, a judge trump judge aileen cannon, of course, is presiding over trump's classified documents case, and she is being accused of upping the ante on stalling the case to avoid trial and a special counsel, jack smith's frustration is now clearly evident, was escaping filing that he put forth smith in it, accusing the judge of putting the entire case in jeopardy before it even begins, specifically because of her unusual request the jury instructions in the case the based on trump's claim that he had the authority to take classified documents tomorrow. lago >> this is a >> judge who has repeatedly ruled for trump again and again on important claims in the case. >> she has >> slow rolled what is long been considered an open and
4:04 pm
shut case. very black and white with 40 counts against trump >> she's deleted so much. it's essentially at a standstill. she'd originally scheduled to trial for may 20 recently those she said prosecutors proposed date of july 8th was too soon. and as of tonight, she has no date on the calendar for the trial to start among our biggest moos to solve the case, she aligned herself with trump and appointed a special master to review more than 11,000 records from mar-a-lago. think about bad amount of time. well, that decision was overruled by the 11th circuit court, a court which by the way, is made up of judges nominated by former president george w bush and trump as for trump, of course, when it comes to judge aileen cannon, he's gotten nothing but praise
4:05 pm
>> i know it's a very highly respected judge, a very smart judge, and a very strong judge. i'm very proud to have appointed her, but she very smart and very strong and loves our country. i mean, loves our country we need judges at love our country. so they do the right thing >> smart, strong. those are stunning words from trump when you compare them to what he has said about justices in his other cases this judge is a lunatic, is a nasty judge. i have a trump-hating judge. her whole life is not like in me evan perez is out front live in washington to begin our coverage tonight. and evans, so there's breaking development and the new york hush money case. what more you learning about why the judge rejected
4:06 pm
trump's immunity claim, even as it comes in the final hour here after this has been an issue for over a year, the case itself. >> and what other ways? >> is trump trying to delay the >> case you've got it set to trial, of course. and just days >> right. aaron, he is he is throwing everything he can at the at the wall to try to get this case delayed. and one of the things that judge points out in his ruling today judge marchand is he points out that trump actually did try to use this immunity claim when he tried to move this case to federal court, that if not attempt, of course failed and the judge points out that given the fact that this request came solely just days as you pointed out, before this case was supposed to go to trial, it really what he says, strains credulity of the chord and the judges, just not buying this. now, one of the things that is still in the offing the trunk the trump team is trying to get the judge to be recused they're
4:07 pm
also saying that the raising the issue of pretrial publicity and publicity around this trial, of course, as you pointed out the former president's attacks on the judge and attacks on the district attorney. those are the things that are that are creating some at least some of the pretrial publicity, publicity that is surrounding this case. and so one of the things that also stood out to me in this ruling from the judge it's very strange for the former president to be claiming immunity for something that is he alleged to have done before the 2016 in the 24 the 2016 campaign. and so that's one of the parts of this that has never really made any sense. the judge shooting this all down, this trial appears now, certainly two be set to go to start in just ten days, erin. >> all right. evan, thank you very much. and such a crucial point, hard to claim presidential immunity for something that you did when you weren't president. >> i'd front >> now, ty cobb, former trump white house lawyer. so thai,
4:08 pm
obviously there's some intellectual hoops to jump through to even get there. so the judge then says, no to trump's immunity claim in the hush money case but as seven points out, his attorneys are still pursuing other avenues to try to delay the trial, to complain about the publicity around it, to get the judge kicked off all these things. the trial though is set to start in just days. right. and just over ten days on april 15 will trump succeeded delaying it beyond that i don't believe. so. although i don't think we're done with attempts to >> delay it, and i think that those attempts will get even more desperate. i would not be surprised to see trump's team tried to mandamus the judge over the recusal issue or over the immunity issue. i don't think either of those could be brought and good faith, but as the judge has pointed out, in the most recent hearing, he has a very difficult time believing trump's attorneys are acting in good faith at this stage of the game. and i think that they don't feel to tethered by the ethical or evidentiary rules that should circumscribed those efforts so that's the hush
4:09 pm
money case. >> and as i said, scheduled >> for april 15 here, i want to ask you about the other case that i mentioned you and i've talked about it a lot. the one in florida the one that legal experts talk about four. >> what >> do we know? >> eight, ten months as an open and >> shut and a year. i mean, where are we that opening shut case and yet, we don't have a trial date well over you. what why do you think judge can installing it >> well, i think it's i i i recognize that many commentators today have tried to be polite about judge cannons missteps here and suggesting that they relate somehow to earn experience are in competence. i think that her i think the evidence from her bias is pretty palpable at this stage of the game. i think the 11th circuit tried desperately to draw a line for her at the time of the search, one forint and the special master cases where they rebuked are very sternly for her making up basically making up the law and her lack of analysis of the required factors that went into those decisions >> but >> but her delays here are extraordinary. i mean, as as you highlighted as others violated, she hasn't even set a trial date that's that's
4:10 pm
remarkable >> she ignored the government's >> request months ago to set the schedule under the classified information procedures act that there are multiple steps that have to be gone through and she hasn't she hasn't completed step one >> i think >> that along frankly doomed the case to not not start before the election or the next years in duration of whomever wins but i think it's clear that her efforts to to delay this continue. the >> the >> current matter that the filing was geared to today with regard to her baffling perception that the presidential records act somehow has any relationship at all to the espionage act. >> is >> stunning i think that jack smith i think the filing today makes it plain that she has to rule and if she doesn't rule under either under either scenario, there'll be in a position to take her up to the lens circuit. and i think 11th circuit will likely take her
4:11 pm
off the case. >> okay? so i want to ask you what that means, but quickly, just to be clear, you're saying, you know, you don't buy that this is just in competence or inexperience at this point >> no, i think i think the evidence is just too overwhelming. i mean, yes, she may be incompetent, but at this stage of the game the hearn competence is so gross that i think it clearly creates the perception of impartiality of partiality in her attempt to put her thumb on the scale. so i think that should disqualify. >> all right. so if that happens is goes the 11th circuit as you say, would be a next step and those judges, as i pointed out, who have rebuked her before appointed by bush and trump. they they they take her off the case. >> does >> that change whether when it can't start before the election situation for you i don't believe so. i >> think she's successfully achieved what appears to be her goal of favoring the president to the point where this cannot get to trial. there's just so
4:12 pm
much to be done. she's sitting on nine motions to dismiss three other significant motions, and the entire c5a process, steven process, which is it's complex. i mean, not for the government because they've been through it before, but certainly for her who she seems to stumble on the most fundamental things. a month ago, she she tripped over the fundamental issue of a public trial when she closed the courtroom to even the defendants family. i end jury selection in the case, not this case, but in another case. yeah. she just doesn't she just doesn't seem to be up to this and any any fashion. >> all right. ty cobb, thank you. as always, i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thank you, aaron. all right. good to see you and david axelrod is with us now. i mean, david, this has been considered really an open and shut case for quite some time and you're heard ties analysis that he just doesn't see it in any scenario going to trial before the election how
4:13 pm
much do think that helps trump >> well, i think it helps him a lot. there's a big body of evidence in polling that conviction in any of these cases. but in these federal cases, in particular, would be harmful to him and his goal has been clearly throughout to try and delay all of these trials beyond the election. so look, i think that she tie is a lawyer and he said it in a lawyerly way, but it feels like this judge who he appointed is in the tank and she's done what he wanted, which has helped to lay this this trial beyond where it could be tried before this election >> in the contrast that you make, right? obviously this is one of the federal ones, but this was considered to be, as i said, in many cases, you know, open an opening shot, black and white. yeah. sure. you add political you had legal experts from all aspects of the political spectrum who agreed on that. so that one's not going to go go to trial. the
4:14 pm
one that you have going to trial is not a federal case. it's new york case. >> it's widely considered to be the >> weakest for a variety of reasons. >> among them, a da who is running for election had had campaigned in part on going after trump. so if that case goes ahead as it's expected to in the next ten days and that's the case you get and he's convicted maybe that helps him. what do you think >> no, i don't think it will help them. i look, i do think there's no doubt that the indictments helped him. it seems improbable, but 91 counts and four indictments strengthened him through the primary season because we are living in tribal times and republicans rallied around trump he's very good at branding these things in his direction. and it helped him win the nomination. i don't think there's as much evidence that they that this will help him in a general election. and
4:15 pm
i don't think it can fiction will there was a poll a couple of weeks ago and politico that suggested that, particularly among independent voters, this would be very troubling if he were convicted, even 9% of republicans and aaron, even in the exit polls that we took during the primary elections, republican primary election on the average like 12% of trump voters said that he wouldn't be fit for office if he were convicted of a crime, they weren't distinguishing between any crimes. now, he will try his already. there's this bombast of the weekend was designed to try and soften the field for him if he is visited by implying not just that the da was bias, but that the judge was bias. i'm sure you will denounce the jury as a trump-hating new york democratic jury if he's convicted, the problem with the case has been you call it a hush money case. what it is
4:16 pm
paying the hush money isn't illegal. what was illegal was the way he hid the money that apparently was spent or the government alleges to try and keep this out of the election campaign. and they considered an election expense. he he paid it as legal fees to michael cohen as a business expense. and so it's a little bit confusing. i said at the beginning, if you have to put the words porn star and novel legal theory and same sentence, you have to really think about whether you should go forward with that but there's a lot of evidence that this wasn't the only case in which he paid this hush money. it was very much motivated by campaign considerations and so i think that i think that this will be damaging to him if it goes forward. the thing we ought to consider is what if he doesn't get convicted? what if there's a what is honoring what if there's an acquittal or a hung jury could have a helpful effect for trump and coloring all of these prosecution.
4:17 pm
>> i can be profound if that's the one that's the one thing you're going to get. >> all right. david axelrod. thank you very much. next, the celebrity chef, jose andres speaking out after workers. here's a group of killed by an israeli airstrike >> but i know is that good word deliberately? nonstop until everybody was dead in these convoy >> plus breaking news, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's speak into our manu raju says she is not backing down on her threat to oust speaker mike johnson and go here exactly what and how she plans to do it. and nebraska now, considering a move that could deny biden crucial electoral vote, a vote that could give trump the presidency. and we are going to show you the math

4:23 pm
our more with regards and then they hit the third one. then we saw the consequences of that continuous targeted attack seven seven people that this was not use bad lag situatio where we droppedhe bomb in e wrong place or or not, this was over 1.51, 0.8 kilometers with a very defined humanitarian convoy that had signs in the top in the roof. a very colorful logo that we are obviously very proud of, that that's very clear who we are and what we do. but i know is that we were targeted deliberately non-stop until everybody was dead in these convoy >> that >> that cannot be that cannot be the role of an army goosebumps s2 that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that his forces committed a quote, grave >> mistake, and that it was
4:24 pm
unintentional. >> but >> that is doing little to quiet the growing global condemnation. the australian prime minister says his country is quote, outraged poland's prime minister says the attack is caused understandable anger. prime minister of spain calling israel's response unacceptable and insufficient. of course, citizens from all those countries were killed. and president biden, who is facing fierce resistance tonight over his response to the israeli war in gaza is said to be various over the deaths of the aid workers we begin our coverage with melissa bell in jerusalem systematically targeted car by car >> that's >> how the world central kitchen is describing the israeli military attack that you'll seven of its aid workers in gaza in an interview withters, the charity's founder ancelebrity chef josendres insistent, theck had coordinated the convoys movements with the israeli military. >> we were targeted deliberately. this looks like it's not a war against the resume anymore seems this is a
4:25 pm
war against humanity itself >> the attack has sparked international outrage, prompting several humanitarian organizations, including world central kitchen, to pause their operations in gaza at a time when civilians are starving israel's prime minister acknowledged the strike, saying that his forces unintentionally struck innocent people. but according to cnn's analysis of aftermath videos tag appears to have consisted of multiple precision strikes. in what was a deconflicted zone on two armored cars and one an armored vehicle get has geolocated video imagery of all the destroyed vehicles, at least one of which was clearly marked with a wck logo on his roof and this is just the latest in a string of israeli attacks on aid convoys >> last >> month, more than 100 people were killed in northern gaza.
4:26 pm
as israeli troops opened fire near civilians, gathering around food aid trucks with some run over by fleeing vehicles in the chaos in what's become known chillingly as the flour massacre. israel denied targeting the aid trucks, saying the israeli defense forces fired at quotes, suspects nearby and less than a week later, witnesses said at least 20 people were killed by israelshling as they waited for deeratelneeded food. i aiming them instea on ths, as palestinian militants israel's closest althe united states, has strongly condemned the wck attack, but saidt woulnot affect their efforts to deliver aid to gaza that effort iongoing dependg on his workingard on that. and i know they brief on that on a regular occasion up as soon as possible of ood course, this strike do reveal the very difficult sittion that aid workers on the ground
4:27 pm
inside gaza face when it comes to not just receiving aid in gaza, but then actually delivering it every day that passes in gaza, hunger becomes more evident and despite israel facing increased scrutiny over its conduct in the war palestinians continued to face deadly violence in their desperate efforts to survive also, aaron had this heartbreaking tweet from chef jose andreas. this evening dedicated to zomi frankcom, the australian aid worker. there was killed playing a video of her in pakistan when she was working for the organization already in saying that he was heartbroken, that spending that he wished he'd never even set up world central kitchen, then he explains, she might still be alive, making people feel that they were the most beloved people in the world and saying, towards the end of the tweet that he will meet her again one day to hugger this outpouring of grief comes of course, even
4:28 pm
admit the growing outrage. aaron, at what has happened over in gaza and israeli promises that they will get to the bottom of it. aaron moos. >> so thank you very much. and with me now, here, retired army lieutenant general ben hodges, who is commanding general of united states army in europe >> so general >> jose andres obviously heartbroken saying he wishes he didn't even found this organization in which he has done such great good around the world because of this horrible tragedy. he says that they were systematically any lays out why there were three strikes. they were precision strikes. they were operating labeled cars, coordinated with the idf and a humanitarian zone on a road where the idf knew where he lays all of that out. >> do you think he's right that this >> was systematically targeted >> of course, is gut wrenching to hear his report and talking about his people. the burden is on the israeli defense force to protect all civilians from being injured or killed this responsibility of the israeli
4:29 pm
defense force. and they obviously failed here. now, this convoy was coordinated with the idf, the israeli defense force knew it was passing through there. they knew the route. this was all organs and then to lose to lose track of it doesn't doesn't wash. i've had convoys world food convoys, or other targets and we were told to make sure nothing happened to you, devote attention to it and clearly, if the leadership of the idf was serious about protecting against collateral damage and casualties like this, something like this convoy would never been had. >> all right. so there was an article today in a british newspaper, the guardian. it was about ai and how israel is using it. they say to target. so a senior official, the idf is taking issue with many points in the article kernel learner. i just want to read one thing that he's taking it he says no hamas individual was automatically approved for attack within expected 15 to 20 casualties now, i'm presuming he's talking generally, not specifically to this incident.
4:30 pm
obviously. >> what stood out to me was the use of the word automatically so that means that you could approve an attack that would have 15 to 20 calories. >> i thought his rebuttal of the article was really, really very, very narrow and thin when you should have just said, it is really different for us policy, we do everything possible well, to let civilian casualties, we would never allow civilian casualties to happen and instead, what he did is kind of worded it in such a way that makes us sound oh, we don't, we don't actually do that it was not a compelling rebuttal. so >> is it is it possible then what jose andres is essentially saying here? >> is that >> is that they targeted that convoy knowing it was world central kitchen, knowing they were innocent people in it, being willing to kill aid workers because they thought that a hamas operative was among them, by the way, 200 other aid workers had been killed according to the state department today. so that's that's what jose andres is saying is possible to happen
4:31 pm
it's possible that happened, >> yes, it is possible because i think that the idf has become i don't want to say callous towards civilian casualties, but their tolerance for collateral damage is much higher. for us. it's zero and so the fact that they would be willing to strike a convoy because they thought there was a hamas operative inside the convoy, that they would be willing to accept the international heat well, sorry for the strike every single car. maybe win that that person would only be in one car. >> maybe they weren't sure exactly which car he was in, right. but if that's what happened, that definitely >> definitionally means they are willing to kill every single day this is the kind, of thing when you talk about targeting and preventing collateral damage, you do an assessment of who else is in the >> the radius of where the impact is going to be? yeah. and then depending on what that is commanders at level say, no way we can't do it. it's not worth that kind of loss. and it
4:32 pm
looks to me based on operations over the last several months that the israeli tolerance for collateral damage is much higher than any, certainly any us forces would ever have >> channel. thank you very much. >> appreciate it >> her next breaking news from manu manu raju has new reporting tonight. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's effort to fire speaker mike johnson is continuing. and you'll see what she just told him, what she's gonna do. >> also >> just in democrats with a new ad taking non robert f. kennedy jr. andrew yang who rfk junior considered to be his running mate, would be out front >> get your viewing glasses ready. >> it looks across america live monday had one. >> why choose asleep numbers? smart bad? can it keeps me warm when i'm cold? >> wait, no, i'm always hot. sleep number. does that >> can i make my side softer? >> i like my side firmer. squeeze number. does that >> can help us sleep better and

4:38 pm
blunt warning to mike johnson, who is now trying to cobble together an aid package for ukraine at this desperate moment in the war against russia. he said forward with that aid package and warned that that potentially could trigger an effort to oust him >> that jackpot you write down funding ukraine is probably one of the most egregious things that you can do for maybe democrats could vote with some republicans for someone who is more moderate than mike johnson >> i don't think we can get any more moderate than microns and monica thursday, there's not even any daylight between him and nancy for people are fed up with republicans that say one thing and turn around and literally joined the flock and just continue the same all crack everybody's tired here. mike johnson has has people literally turned in to mitch mcconnell's twin and warned >> as you can see, she is
4:39 pm
discounting the concerns among some of her fellow republicans that ousting mike johnson could lead to a more moderate republican speaker criticizing the dealmaking hey, conservative, mike johnson has made essentially equating him to nancy pelosi there, but she also errand did not say if she has spoken to donald trump about this, but she does plan to speak with the speaker himself on friday we'll see what happens with that. all right, manu. thank you so much for sharing that new reporting with us and i want to go now to the former republican congressman adam kinzinger well, i guess you're glad you're not there right now. but we just heard monitors reporting. right. so marjorie taylor greene threatening to oust johnson as speaker. and now that's the way it goes in the gop need one person you can bring it to the floor. do you think she'll really do it and could it happen >> look, i mean, the gop is ungovernable right now and it's because kevin mccarthy agreed to the rule that just one person could bring forward
4:40 pm
a motion to vacate the chair. and so now, you know but there's 200 some republican members of congress that are not willing to pull that trigger because they're, to an extent team players, they understand how policy works and how governance works. and this is just basic cost. you can't beat say that you're for the constitution like marjorie taylor greene does. then be upset, win the majority wants something in done, but you don't want it done. so you just take your ball and go home. are you try to blow up the system? will she do it? >> look, i said from the >> beginning, this wasn't about remember she introduced this pretending she was outraged about the deal to keep the government open, god forbid, the government's is open, right? >> but what was, was actually she tried and to do a sword of damocles over the speakers had on ukraine. and it's amazing a need by the way, aaron, that like funding ukraine in this existential moment is what she's willing. the hill that she is willing to die on, it goes to save a lot. so we'll shade. >> i think she very well may. and the question is, what is
4:41 pm
speaker johnson do? because if he could actuates to her, he will be an ineffective speaker for the rest of his speakership. if he stands up to where he's going to get a little bit of his power back. which is interesting regs, you say if you cave to that, i mean you become a unit. you don't have you basically they're gonna cave to anybody on absolutely anything so it's very interesting to see what actually does happen what go ahead >> no, i was just going to say that the problem is those that are supportive of ukraine funding, for instance, they could play this exact game, and actually gives speaker johnson some backing by saying fine, if marjorie taylor greene drops a motion to vacate because you put ukraine aid on the floor will drop a motion to vacate if you don't or will shut down every rule vote, which is the thing that actually makes the house work. >> that >> would be playing hardball on the other side and would actually give the speaker the ability then to say, i don't have a choice, i'm going to do
4:42 pm
the right same thing here and cut a deal with the democrats. but unfortunately on the republican side, they're unwilling to do that. >> it's interesting that when you talk about ukraine aid, and obviously it's a challenge to topic and a lot of polling, but there are a lot of republicans who are very supportive of it, a very supportive of ukraine. lot of them happened to have been people who voted for nikki haley and yesterday, when you looked at that primary wisconsin, connecticut, new york, rhode island nikki haley walked away with double-digits and every single one of those states, she dropped out a month ago, double digits. what does that say to you? >> that's huge because that is >> it's not like they just voted early before she dropped out. they voted after she dropped out. so they made it verynowith donald trump. now let's keep in mind those voters are probably probably very pro ukraine, right? there are probably very probe is real pro taiwan. >> this

4:48 pm
convincing nebraska republican governor to support a major change in the way the state has been doling out its electoral college votes for the past 32 years. so right now, nebraska splits its electoral college votes and one of them is crucial to biden's victory. and that one is the blue district of omaha. biden, one that vote in 2020. >> trump though, is >> pushing for a statewide winner take all system which would potentially deprive biden of that crucial electoral vote now, the reason i say crucial, just look at this one. a biden's, biden's easiest path to reelection. >> if you >> hold the three swing states of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin and loses the rest of them is going to lose georgia, lose all those. biden gets to do 69 well, you know, to win, you need to 70. so obviously the difference there is one and that one vote would be the vote in nebraska. the vote no maha that gives biden to 70 and the win. but if this scenario plays out with trump getting his way in nebraska then both of them are tied 2609 to 2609 and then
4:49 pm
it will be the house of representatives who makes the decision >> for now, andrew yang, former 2020 >> democratic presidential candidate. now the co-founder of the forward party and independent 2024 candidate, rfk junior also considered you to be his running mate as well as we've reported so look, every vote matters. >> the polls >> whatever take them on any given day. but i just laid out a very realistic scenario. what we're in right now, if you look at the polls by does not gonna went all the swing states. so that's scenario that we laid out is that could be it on election night how worried are you about a potential change in the nebraska rules? >> i think this is very savvy on the part of the trump campaign is a very legitimate, feasible scenario that you end up with 2609 to 2609. and then this one electoral vote could tip the scales. and if it does go to the house, then the republican majority will obviously vote in trump. so brassica state legislature. it's super majority republicans. this has a very real chance of passing. i'm
4:50 pm
someone who thinks that proportionate allocation of electoral votes is a much better system. why should the swing states get all the political ads and the fun? i mean, it >> would be great matter where you live in a deeply, rather deeply blue state. >> yeah. i mean, we all know that there are about six >> pivotal swing states. you listed them just now that are going to decide this thing. >> so in that context, another person who has been talking about a broken two-party system is rfk junior >> yeah. >> and you know, you speak now from the forward party as you've been in, but the you can has launched a new mobile billboard ad. i'll show it. i'm trying to tie trump to kennedy, so they've been putting up outside is his rallies. rfk, maga, and they're putting these things up >> let me play part of the ad. they just put up hill down back so this is what it comes to
4:51 pm
write. i mean, it's just this is the where we are brand new gallup poll those shows 30% of adults don't think biden or trump would be good more adults think trump would be better than biden. the lesser of two evils, i suppose in that world so how worried should biden b. and how worried should democrats b. about the third party threat, whatever rfk junior now to finds himself as an independent. >> oh, you'll see analogous add some the republican camp painting, rfk as a liberal democrat and a vote for him is essential. actually, vote for biden. and so both parties are going to try and play this game because this election is going to get decided. the margins the fact is, i've seen polls that show rfk being neutral. i've seen some showing that he takes votes from biden and from trump. and so both major parties are trying like mad to get there are voters to see rfk as a vote for the other side. >> so he said something the other night when he was here and we had a long conversation
4:52 pm
and he >> said >> repeatedly that he could make the argument that joe biden is bigger threat to democracy than donald trump despite he was very clear to excoriate trump's efforts on january 6th. i wanted to play just part of what he said. >> listen, i can make the argument that president biden is much worse threat to democracy. and the reason for that is president biden is the first candidate in history, the first president history that it has used the federal agencies to censor political speech. so to censor his opponent, just to be clear, you're saying you could make an argument that president biden is a worse threat to democracy than he's upset that biden had had pushed have some of these social media posts about somebody dying of covid removed from misinformation. that's the lawsuit he's referring to >> but this >> is really hit a chord with people what do you think about this? do you think it's obvious
4:53 pm
who's a bigger threat? >> i'm in anyone but trump guy. i think that trump would be catastrophe in second term, but the fact is the democrats literally canceled primaries in north carolina and florida and then making the case that, hey vote for us to preserve democracy they've also boosted election deniers in republican primaries because they think they funding them. yes, seven figure of funding for folks that are meant to be the enemy of democracy. so there are disingenuous elements to what democrats have been doing. but i see trump as a singular type of threat. >> all right. well, i always appreciate seeing you, andrew. >> it's great to be here. aaron. thanks for having me >> andrew yang next. >> from an insider trading scandal to a >> public feud with former apprentice stars trump's truth, social is facing major problems tonight welcome to stormy heights, where the windows are always pillar pellet >> fiberglass is the strongest material for windows and patio
