00:00Let's go out front.
00:04And good evening, I'm Erin Burnett.
00:06Out front tonight, the breaking news, global outrage.
00:09Mass protests now breaking out around the world
00:12over skyrocketing oil prices and food prices
00:15caused by Trump's war with Iran.
00:17Protesters burning tires is from Syria
00:20all the way to Guatemala.
00:22In Portugal, roads at a standstill
00:24as drivers lay on their horns.
00:27In the Philippines and in Sudan,
00:30people are dealing with blackouts,
00:31long lines at gas stations.
00:33Some pumps have run dry,
00:35a sign of what could happen
00:37as this spreads around the world
00:39because the situation is getting worse.
00:41The United States still does not have...
00:43...free for the panel.
00:45Eric needs a new C1.
00:47Stim, wire break, master.
00:48In three, two, one, effect.
00:52Roll your break, please, master.
00:54Tonight, President Trump lashing out
00:56at the Supreme Court for rejecting his bid
00:58to limit mail-in voting for these midterm elections,
01:01a ruling where at least one Justice Trump handpicked,
01:03Brett Kavanaugh, ruled against him.
01:05Trump, in an extremely long and bitter post,
01:07even by his standards,
01:09because he was scrolling across,
01:10he went through the decision,
01:12posting, in part, the Supreme Court is...
01:14That's an indictment of Kavanaugh and McConey Barrett.
01:18The same court that overturned Roe v. Wade.
01:20Yeah, his handpicked justices,
01:23but I guess now they're some of the worst,
01:24worst people on the planet,
01:26most destructive, hurtful, damaging decisions
01:28in American history.
01:29Until the next time.
01:30Yeah, until there's one that goes in his...
01:32I mean, what...
01:34He's always surprised when it's good news,
01:37but no surprise that he's...
01:38They know they're going to outlive his term,
01:42and they know they have an important job to do.
01:44Well, and they see in a thing like this,
01:45that you're only as good as whatever you just did.
01:47Just ruling, yeah, whatever, right?
01:50So certainly don't leave your dignity,
01:53you know, in the other room, right?
01:54Keep it with you, because that's what you got.
01:56I mean, Jamal, hours after Trump posts this,
01:58Todd Blanche, his attorney general,
02:00defends Trump's efforts to limit mail-in voting,
02:02defended the whole thing, right?
02:03And then, to your point about what's coming next,
02:05said that there's more to come.
02:07Vowed, here he is.
02:10Donald Trump doesn't believe
02:11in the boundaries of his office, right?
02:13And he doesn't believe in them
02:14when it comes to a reserve.
02:16That would have been a disaster
02:17if we lost an independent bank, central bank.
02:19That would be a change
02:20from what he's been doing for some of the...
02:22I don't know how helpful to be.
02:24I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek.
02:25But, Essie, to this front,
02:27something is reportedly going to happen in November
02:29that has not happened in 32 years.
02:3232 years, you say?
02:33Hmm.
02:34Well, that is that Karl Rove,
02:36former senior advisor to George W. Bush,
02:39you know, Fox,
02:39that guy's a bigot.
02:40I'm voting for a Democrat
02:41for the first time in 32 years.
02:44What Donald Trump has been pushing.
02:45But, apparently,
02:47the Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate
02:49is not Karl Rove's Republican Party anymore.
02:52It's not mine,
02:52it's not Mitt Romney's,
02:53it's not John...
02:54To the point of when I said,
02:55are we living in a simulation?
02:56There was a crazy moment
02:57on Capitol Hill today.
02:58And it was crazy,
02:59just when you think about
03:00all the really serious,
03:01important things going on,
03:02but also the ways
03:03that some of Trump's
03:05hand-picked people
03:06back themselves into corners
03:07that just become increasingly bizarre.
03:09Enter Kash Patel
03:11changing the rules of the FBI
03:13to no longer automatically disqualify,
03:16have bestiality
03:17be a disqualifying thing
03:19to be an FBI agent, okay?
03:20I don't even know why
03:21we're having this conversation,
03:22but we're having it,
03:23and he's defending it.
03:25Here he is on Capitol Hill today.
03:29Kennedy, a Republican.
03:31Yeah.
03:31With his face in his hands there.
03:33I'm so glad this is your question.
03:35I don't understand.
03:37Why?
03:38Yeah, I don't understand.
03:39There's no reason
03:40why we're doing this.
03:41I think also,
03:42for these reports
03:43of the human boxers.
03:44Russian oligarch
03:45next to Putin
03:46paying for Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding.
03:47There's a lot of other obvious things
03:48that it would be good
03:49for people to speak out on.
03:51All right, thank you both very much.
03:52And next,
03:53Pope Leo's longtime friend
03:54and the man who wrote the foreword
03:55to his new book out today
03:57is our guest.
03:58Why he says
03:59Pope Leo has chosen AI
04:00as his top priority
04:02long before
04:03all these AI guys
04:04were quitting
04:05and saying the world
04:06was going to end.
04:06And is the Pope
04:07actually going to the Notre Dame
04:09Villanova basketball game
04:11that's coming to Rome?
04:12Plus,
04:13almost all of Ed Sheeran's
04:14opening acts
04:15have quit the Grammy winner's tour
04:16after McLemore was booted
04:17following his Free Palestine remarks
04:19and Sheeran
04:20is now speaking out.
04:25Tonight, Grammy Award-winning singer
04:27Ed Sheeran speaking out
04:28saying, quote,
04:29I am not complicit
04:30in removing rapper McLemore
04:32as his opener
04:33after the rapper said this on tour.
04:36Those remarks came
04:37just before McLemore
04:38performed his 2024 song
04:40Heinz Hall,
04:41which suggests Israel
04:42is committing genocide in Gaza.
04:44Sheeran says
04:45McLemore's outcome now
04:46is that at least four other opening acts
04:48have now quit Sheeran's tour
04:50in solidarity with McLemore.
04:52Obviously, more to come
04:53when we see how all this plays out
04:54in the next few days
04:55before those performances next week.
04:57Thanks so much for joining us tonight.
04:59AC 360 with Anderson begins now.
