tv   CNN News Night With Abby Phillip  CNN  April 8, 2024 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT

7:00 pm
the sun and so a lot of things were aligning that plane. it's called the ecliptic plane and the moon weirdly does not orbit us in the ecliptic. it's slightly offset otherwise, we'd have a total solar eclipse every month over lh would be fantastic. well, how do we nudge the moon? >> my friends who are taking this >> this is the last time you're going to see it in the yeah, 22 years? yeah. and there will be a solar eclipse in a couple of years, but it'll go mostly over like iceland in the oceans but eclipse chasers, we'll go there and there's an eclipse actually almost every year or to it. they don't always make it over land and they don't necessarily make it over north america scale of one to ten, how is today's eclipse today was spectacular and also in about a half 1 billion years, it will be no more total eclipses because the moon will be too far away. so well, and he did it and while you can have 1 billion years. mark your calendars j. 11. great to have you. thanks for having, thanks
7:01 pm
for talking about the eclipse with us. thank you all for for joining us tonight. seen a news night with abby phillip starts right now why donald trump is nothing like nelson mandela. that's tonight on these lines good evening. >> i'm abby phillip in new york tonight donald trump comparison that crumbles when confronted with common sense the former president believes he is being persecuted by prosecutors. and for that reason, he's claiming that there are similarities between nelson mandela's plight and his own. trump wrote this on truth, social if this partisan hack wants to put me in the clink for speaking, the open and obvious truth. i will gladly become a modern-day nelson mandela. well, for starters, i'm really not sure anyone has asked that of him, but you might also recall that
7:02 pm
this is not the first time that trump has made this very comparison. >> they hound them and they scare them and they've, but we don't get scared. we don't get scared. >> i'll tell you what >> i don't mind being. nelson mandela, because i'm doing it for a reason. >> trump wants to lay claim to mandela's mantle without actually understanding who mandela was or the reasons why mandela suffered let's start with just the circumstances as they are today. trump is not a prisoner unless you consider mar-a-lago or bedminster or seven springs or trump tower, or a pen suite very, very expensive luxury cells mandela spent 27 years in robben island alone in an eight by eight cell, he referred to his incarceration as unpleasant, which is a masterclass in understatement life there left mandela's eyes damaged. it's why he wore sunglasses and
7:03 pm
photographers were warned against using flash photography around him mandela lived nearly three decades. they're serving time for high treason. all for protesting the racist apartheid system. meanwhile, trump >> he's facing >> 88 counts and four separate jurisdictions for trying to steal a presidential election or for trying to buy the silence of stormy daniels mandela was released in 1990 and he won the presidency in 1994 he was freed and he freed his nation from institutionaliz ed racism meanwhile, donald trump wants to win the white house by stoking racial division >> we are poisoning the blood of our country that's what they've done. they poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world. >> mandela dedicated his life not just to liberation, but also to equality. he closed his trial by reciting this from memory i have fought against
7:04 pm
white domination. i have fought against black domination. i have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony. one and with equal opportunities. it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve. but if need be, it's an ideal for which i am prepared to die now that passage is the core of mandela's legacy as a bridge builder, it is that very thing, that slice of mandela's political persona that stuck most with former president barack obama there are too many liters solidarity with money but do not tolerate those who don't tolerate dissent listen again. here to donald trump in his own words >> do you regret not locking her up? and if you're president again will you lock people up?
7:05 pm
>> the answers you have no choice because they're doing a test >> the point here is, if you look at the crimes, the punishments, the motives, the promises, on how they will treat their persecutors real and perceived. mandela and trump they're really is no comparison for more on this. i want to bring in the host of the podcast the right time with romani jones, also with us is cnn political commentator, s. e. cupp se mandela again. why, why does he do these things? he does it because he can, he's conditioned is base two believe it, how many compares himself to jesus? two and you would have think that thought that a very evangelical base would have been appalled and offended by that. but he's conditioned them over the past a state years to actually see that as the case. and trump as victim, as persecuted is a narrative that he has drummed four years
7:06 pm
and 91 plus indictments. it's all proof to him and his base that they are after him. but this started very simply with him saying and like 2015, 2016, there's a deep-state and they're coming after us, then it was the media than it was the democrats, than it was the generals, than it was the intelligence community. anyone who dared look sideways at trump was then corrupt and coming for him he did that all for moments like this. >> yeah. so that he can be a >> victim and equate himself with one of the greatest civil rights leaders this world has ever known. it's absurd, but they by it the jesus part of what he's talking about, it, it does raise the prospect that trump is actually play into a desire among evangelical christians to align donald trump with their faith >> yeah, i want to be careful the associative battle trump player four dimensional the chest because i think the reason he's talking about nelson mandela's because he's
7:07 pm
actually heard of them, like, i think, like when he's trying to think in his mind like man, who was now for a long time, like this young third trial keeps going. he'll start using him like normally when people do things like this, you ask yourself the question, who is, who does he think he is, who to donald trump thing he is. and in this case, the question is, who exactly does he think nelson mandela is? because i think the most fascinating part of this is imagine a ronald reagan spinning around in his grave at the thought that a republican how monday for president would think that comparing himself to nelson mandela of all people who reagan all the way till the end told us was a very, very scary man would be the person that trump would associate themselves with. he just can't think of anybody else that went to jail for a bad reason that dislike registers with people anymore? >> i mean, i guess he has a point that i mean, he clearly doesn't know as we just outlined what nelson mandela is all about, but is this it's not, i mean, it's certainly not four dimensional chess, but is this just trump, just reaching for the closest analog as opposed to him trying to actually do something and
7:08 pm
politically, why don't think it's right? well, i mean, yes, he's trying to do something politically which is appealed to a base and keep them with him. but not be for dimensional chess, but it's not checkers either. i think he picked someone that a generation remembers and it's a specific generation, it's not the generations coming up. it's the generation that's largely voting for him and still, standing by him. and so i think i think you picked him for a reason and i think he really does align himself with this idea of being politically persecuted for doing the right thing. he is convinced himself and his base that it was the right thing to overturn a democratic election, that it was the right thing to pay off stormy daniels it was the right thing to defraud new york city. i mean, he really has flipped all of this on its head. and the crazy part is they believe him now, they believe it, or that if it's even if it's not the right thing, that it doesn't matter that it's the point that the other side is so bad that >> this is all justified. >> i want to raise something
7:09 pm
that's a little left field, but it's related. this is has to do with robert f. kennedy jr. there is a person who calls themselves the director of his new york operation basically saying that her number one priority is to keep biden from winning. this is somebody who works for robert f. kennedy. the quote is, the only way that trump can even have the remote possibility of taking new york is if bobby is on the ballot if it's trump vs biden. biden wins. biden wins six days, seven days a week with bobby in the mix. anything can happen i mean, talk about just putting it all out there, saying the quiet part out loud. is this just a play to help trump? >> yeah, we're gonna feel like we generally know that the third party people know they're not going to win right? with the exception of maybe ras row in our lifetime, that's the only time somebody that you really had a realistic possibility. there's other person could do it, but normally they at least try to masquerade as though there's some larger cause that they are trying to offer that's not even the game that they seem to be playing here with this one and that i find it to be very stunning, right? he's
7:10 pm
basically kanye west work, kanye west was in 2020 where you basically figured out they think eight min if we can just chip away a little bit at the margins, we might be able to get something done as the whole purpose of the reason given kinase ran a little but no, it's giving, it's giving is going to too much credits if the people that were funding get seemed to obviously believed that that was the case, right kennedy is operating though, go into at against a bigger base of people that he seems to be trying to appeal to a certain brand of wacko that i think rides along with what it is that he's doing. i've just never seeing them tell the world outfront and give the game away like that. >> do you really think that they believe that this will actually hurt by them because rfk junior is running around mimicking trump? >> yes, because you please stop pretending that he is going to be a biden spoiler. i mean, i hear this from the democrats. i hear this all the time. it is absurd and insane. he is parenting trump talking points. he calls elections not one, but two of them stolen. he is making a play for trump voters with his conspiracy theories. and as vp pick, i mean, all of
7:11 pm
this is for trump voters. and if your goal is to hurt joe biden, you don't do it by splitting his votes. you do it by splitting the other guys. so this narrative that he is trying to get democratic votes with his name. absolutely could not be more nakedly after trump. they just not understand his appeal. i'm just trying to meaning this person, rita palma, the head of his new york operation. i mean, just she just not understand their rfk junior vote i think she does. i think she does understand it. i think she understands that they are taking from trump. they want the right-wing conspiracy theory loving all the elections were stolen. they want this crowd. he has said, democrats didn't, don't get you anymore. they've left you behind he doesn't want those voters. he doesn't talk like a man trying to get democrats. young, disaffected with joe biden. he is more pro-israel than anyone running ever on the left ever. and that is a huge wedge issue, issue for democrats. now, there's nothing
7:12 pm
about rfk that is appealing to the far-left or the moderate left? >> long trump stays quiet about him. once that starts to materialize, bromonium se, thank you very much and stick with us. we'll see you later in the show and just in tonight, we are now learning what questions potential jurors will be asked at trump's hush money trial that starts next week. now, everything from where they get their news to whether or not they have any links to fringe groups. so just listen to some of these examples. have you ever considered yourself a supporter of q and on proud boys, oath keepers, three percenters, mugler boys, or antigua another question. do you have feelings about how mr. trump is being treated in this case? >> have >> you ever attended a rally or campaign event for donald trump? do you currently follow any anti-trump group on social media now this comes as an appeals court judge just rejected trump's last-minute latest appeal to to change the venue of this trial. joining me
7:13 pm
now to discuss all of this is cnn legal analyst, karen friedman, agnifilo, and she's also the former chief assistant district attorney for the manhattan district attorney's office. karen, when you look at some of these questions at the potential jurors are going to be asked. i mean, what do you see? there about what both sides are trying to accomplish with these jury questions. >> so it's clear that both sides submitted questions to the judge saying, can you please ask these questions so it's not clear what i'm looking for, what the other side is looking for, which is very common in jury selection, there's certain types of questions that you want to know the answer to be you don't necessarily want the jury to hear that you're asking that so that they don't try to game the system exactly exactly. so they're just trying to, this is all in an effort to get a fair and impartial jury for this case, for this particular case, this set of facts, this particular defendant. and so they're all trying to see are there any feelings that you have or thoughts that you have that would cause you to not be
7:14 pm
able to be fair in this case to both sides >> obviously, the biggest issue and all of these cases is going to be finding the one-person or whatever it's gonna be more than one per person who does not know a lot about this case has not heard a lot about this case, does not have any feelings about it. i mean, how difficult is that going to be? >> well, look, everybody comes to every jury trial with certain feelings and certain views and thoughts about issues, et cetera. nobody's pro crime. but yet you still find people who are, can be fair and impartial and listen to the evidence. and that's what you're looking for. people who don't have an ax to grind or who aren't trying to do some other agenda other than evaluate the evidence because the people the prosecution here has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and they have to be able to listen to it even though they might have feelings and opinions about things. >> so one of the interesting things is that the judge says that he would dismiss a juror
7:15 pm
who said they can't serve on the trial without really pressing them any further. he wants to expedite this process because he's seen how difficult the jury selection can be and howime-intensive it can be.he defse actually wantem to be questioned. i this going to be something that gets that holds up this process? >> well, it's not going to because what the judge did was he made it so that it will go faster. the defendant in every case in new york has the right to be present for all sidebar for all sidebar conferences. that's under a case called anti-market. and so in order to have a jury express their private feelings or their private opinions, you don't want them to say it out loud because it contained the rest of the jurors who are sitting there would. require not only all the lawyers to come up to the bench, it would also require donald trump, his secret service agent. and it was just cause such an issue, it could grind this to a halt. the judge said, let's just streamline it. anyone who has
7:16 pm
any of those issues will just excuse them. so that we don't have to go through that if they if they have some issue here. so that's what he decided to do. well, we're a week out. d yoactuly expect us to see this trial srt next monday >> yes. but i do think trump has a few his staard icks up his sleevehat h's been pulling out in every case and there's still a few mo ves that i think he hasn' ite taken advaage of. for example, he could go to the supreme urand asked them to stay the case tedays after this case is supposed to start their hearing. the presidential leging presidential immunity what's the rush? stop the case, foa few weekwhile we hear that case, it's already on an exdited hedule. so i think that mig be coming and this morning and trump's statement regarding abortions, he named the supreme court justices individually, but just felt like a message that he was talking to them and just
7:17 pm
feels like he's going to be going to the supreme court. yeah. that's seems to be the move that they resort to maybe hoping that the court will just step in. and one of these cases and give them a little bit of a hail mary hail mary, saving grace here. karen friedman, agnifilo. thank you very much for all of the legal insights on all of this busy couple of weeks ahead for you and the rest of us here. and i had for us on this show many conservatives are livid with donald trump after he revealed his stance on abortion. i'll speak with age pro life leader on that issue. plus, i'll also speak with the reporter who was booted from a republican event over what they call unfair coverage. and also a generational event just unfolded today. wait until you see the best moments from today's eclipse will have them all and just few moments comes

7:32 pm
yup.
7:33 pm
>> tonight uh monday night news dump with giant national consequences. so while you and much of the rest of america were watching that solar eclipse today, or maybe you were watching college basketball earlier. trump now said as that the states, not the federal government should be the one to decide when it's okay for a woman to terminate a pregnancy >> many states will be different. many will have a fferent number of weeks or someill ha more nservative tn others. and that's at they will be at the end of the day. this is all about the will of the people >> trump and his campaign might hope the christian conservatives don't notice or don't see all the headlines. but rest assured we noticed. and so did many of the people on the right and they are not so happy anti-abortion conservatives like mike pence, his former vice president, who calls the decision or retreat, that it's a slap in the face to the millions of pro-life americans who voted for him in 2016 and 2020 now, trump's
7:34 pm
final for now answer ands this month long seesaw between trying to cater to the voters who want a national ban telling them he's proud. he brought rove crashing all the way down and telling the majority of americans who are not interested in the federal government, getting deeply involved in reproductive rights that he'll stay out of the way hey >> but that's what we just talked. >> band. you did not say yes or no to that >> what the deal is. >> i want to know what you want. i want to know what you're gonna do if you're we're going to jump in federal legislation that would ban abortion at 15 weeks no. no. >> i mean, the sanctus willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban to support that. you think that what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. >> now, i happen to be >> for the exceptions, like ronald reagan with the life of the mother rape, incest, you talk five or six weeks >> joining me now is the
7:35 pm
president of students for life of america kristen hawkins. kristen, thanks for staying up for us tonight. i wonder. do you agree with former vice president mike pence, the donald trump, just delivered a slap in the face. to the pro-life movement >> look, i don't believe this particular statement is the cause of the division between mike pence and donald trump. but i think we are very clear in the pro-life movement and we've always been that ending abortion is a federal issue that your human rights you're right to exist, not be killed, not end or start depending on state line. >> but >> i actually was pleasantly surprised by the presence statement today. i was i was glad to see that he didn't fall in the trap. that democrats wanted him to fall into taking a stand on divisive late term abortion law, which would only prevent four to 6% of abortions in america, yet
7:36 pm
would have been a fundraising cash cow for joe biden and democrats. >> are you talking about virion that is around are you talking about a ban on abortion that would be around 15 or 16 weeks. is that what you're referring to there? >> sure. you in february, the new york times rumor that president trump was flirting with the idea of coming out for a 15 or 16 a week abortion prevention act as soon as that happened, my inbox and my text messages was flooded by fundraising appeals from democrat thing trump pledged to ban and abortion, which they left out the part that of 15, 16 week prevention act would only stop about four, 6% of abortions. and our country but he didn't give them the opportunity today. he said let's have the states have a say, which dobbs dobbs decision did say that it is now up to the states, but it also denial eliminate the federal government. so we would say in the pro-life movement, there's a role for both your, your, i think your interpretation of it is interesting because trump
7:37 pm
actually said, he thinks this should be left to the states. he did not endorse a federal ban. so are you suggesting that this is not actually going to be a long-term position? shin for him >> why thing is very clear like i can count and in americans can count and we know that there's not 60 pro-life votes in the senate to pass any pro-life legislation that would prevent abortions because democrats had been very clear, they can't name one abortion. they disagree with and so getting any preventing i can act passed the senate is going to be a monumental task, i think right now when we're looking at momentum and progress, protect women, children from the predatory abortion history. we're looking at the state, but that's not to say there's not a federal role. i mean, you can look at what joe biden has done tragically yet brilliantly and forcing the federal government to get involved here with a portion, anyone i think it agree with, i should just find a planned parenthood and the abortion >> what you're what you're
7:38 pm
talking about, the lack of 60 votes for a federal abortion ban is also because the majority of americans don't support it. but i wonder if you look at the poll, you at least support donald trump, allowing exceptions supported some boats on the kristen, do you at least support what donald trump says, which is that there should be exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother >> the pro-life movements been very clear and every pro-life law that is passed that isn't acted today in america sadly, too few americans know this there is a explicit exception for protecting the life of a mother when her life is at risk during pregnancy we talk often about that and the pro-life movement. when there is a tragic case when fetal, maternal separation is needed, we don't even consider that to be an abortion because the intention is to save life, not to be directly ending human life. we've also been very clear on the pro-life movement that the circumstances of your conception do not define your
7:39 pm
worth and do not should not dictate whether or not you get to live or die and so that's been our position. the pro-life movement that's been our position four of the 50 some years that we saw roe versus wade but like i said, i'm not exactly an agreement with everything donald trump says on many issues, but i would say today his position that he outlines, i think it was a smart position of saying that states still should be evolved and they should be very much involved protecting women, children from the abortion industry and not undercutting a so many of our state legislators have acted with courage since the dobbs decision to pass life at conception chin heartbeat, abortion prevention laws chemical abortion bands, but that's not to say there's not going to be a role for him. and what the pro-life movement is gonna be requiring the president to do while we wait for those 60 votes. he needs to get into start de one, stopping the proliferation chemical abortion pills, which now has chemically tainted human remains hanes entering our
7:40 pm
waterways with no endocrine disruptors, just a couple a couple of quick things here. one, i just want to clarify. you said that when a woman's life is at risk and abortion is required, that's not an abortion. it is actually an abortion. the other thing is you noted that you feel separate. you noted that you want to see things from donald trump, the pro-life lee lin are going to demand things of donald trump. you talked about banning medication abortions. what about his running mate? is it going to be a requirement that donald trump's running mate be someone who he was sufficiently anti-abortion for the pro-life movement >> we've been very clear in op-ed with town hall that was out yesterday. actually, i gave a full list of the fireman's and our demands to president trump and what the first on the list was a pro-life running mate, a pro-life vice president isn't it pro-life cabinet secretaries? i mean, there's so much to do when you think about
7:41 pm
how they're going to be little pale today, thanks to the biden administration, who prayed in front of a planned parenthood and are facing and 11 year federal prison sentence while squatters are entering homes in new york and their owners for his are being arrested. there is >> one final thing, kristen, you heard donald trump's said today that he supports ivf. you have a different position. you say the industry needs more regulation and more change >> is that >> i mean, that sounds like code four, more or restrictions that could make ivf something that is out of reach for a lot of families. i mean do you disagree with trump that this should be something that is clearly legal for families who want to have children well i think this is a time for a conversation. i think when the alabama supreme court ruling came out knowledges the pain of the families who lost children because of the reckless nature of the ivf clinic. i think that
7:42 pm
was the start of a conversation. i don't know how much president trump knows about in vitro fertilization or the wild, wild less it happened in the past that you can go into an ivf clinic today, create human beings and tell the ivf clinic to discard those human beings if they're the wrong sex or if they have the wrong genetic makeup. that's eugenics. children like mine who have cystic fibrosis are routinely thrown away. an ivf clinics are discarded for life ending research so i will say there's a conversation, but what we do know, our own polling and our institute for pro-life advancements, students for life that i put into the field immediately after the alabama supreme court ruling, was that the vast majority of americans say they support ivf. but then when you educate them just in 30 seconds about what happens inside of an ivf clinic. we see germany maddock, mine changing results. so i would like to have a personal conversation with him about ivf because i think ultimately when we talked in the pro-life movement, we want more babies
7:43 pm
and we want more families, but we need to do that in an ethical way that treats all human beings with dignity and value. and as pope francis says if indefinite dignity, well, it's clear that that is actually a position that even many republicans disagree with. it's also a position that the alabama legislature disagreed with when they moved shortly after that alabama supreme court decision to protect ivf and the ability of families that i understand that question down the alabama legislature for making understanding because i was a complete overlap. >> you very much for joining us on all of that tonight. kristen hawkins at a colorado journalists, was kicked out of her state's republican party assembly. and the question is, why well, the party of the party chairman of that state thinks that her straight news reporting is unfair. i will speak with that journalist ahead. and breaking news, the fbi says that an american isis
