chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher joins us now from los angeles. trace, we covered so many of these shootings. what makes this one unique? you know, it s interesting. if you go back to the video you played there, that a big description of what happened here. police lost a little time there some of the people are reacting to the gun shots right away. a lot of other people that they questioned and talked to that were along the parade route thought they were fireworks. they stood there. they didn t move. that gave people a delay in how they approached this. the gun shots go off and you can see some people are still applauding. if you go down the entire parade line, you ll see video like this that we have seen throughout the day of people that are still sitting there because they think they re hearing fireworks, they think it s part of the show and they waited before they left. it s interesting to me that as you go forward in this investigation, they have the gu

do you know, it s hard to believe, it really hard to believe sitting here actually when the war started, when the bombs started. it was six months. it has been six months since vladimir putin launched his murderous and entirely unprovoked war on ukraine, six months of death raining down from the sky, six months of innocent men, women, children slaughtered. six months of people driven away from homes, schools, churches, hospitals and shelters bombed. we remember it. it s still going on. it s unimaginable and going on today. missile strikes across the country. but this is how it began. watch this. here is our breaking news, vladimir putin announcing a special military operation claiming to protect donbas. matthew chance will join us. i just heard a big bang right here behind me. i told you we shouldn t have done the live shot here. wow. six months. right when it started on this program. just couple minutes from now. cnn reporters risking their lives in the war zone bearing
political commentators alice stewart and political analyst alex burns. he is the co-author of the book, this will not pass. trump, biden and the battle for america s future. good evening, one and all. thank you so much for joining. alex, we re gonna start with you. we need a reality check on the midterms, everybody s been anticipating a red wave, but that seems to have shifted significantly in the past month. what are you expecting now? don, i think there s no question that the circumstances of this campaign have changed substantially since the start of the summer. and it really does help to take a step back and look at the big picture here. the president s party almost always does terribly in the midterm elections, and democrats are probably going to have a pretty rough november. but when you think back to where we were at the beginning of june, with sky high gas prices, the biden agenda dead in the water, or so it seemed, and the republican party facing different kinds of
