tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  March 27, 2018 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT

4:00 pm
-- sexual nature. and attempt to delete images, it could not be done, wolf. >> thanks for that report. very serious charges indeed. in lansing, mishd. that's it for me. tha thanks very much for watching. that's it for me wolf blitzer in "the situation room." here's erin burnett outfront now. says more women are coming forward with affairs, how long will the president stay quiet. plus raging firestorm over the except sus. this cob the president's most con gwen shall move yet. and george w. bush, like you've never seen him before, let's go outfront. good evening i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight eight more women that's the number of women stormy daniels lawyer now says has approached him with stories about president trump. two of them he has said have
4:01 pm
nondisclosure agreements with the president. michael avenatti says some of the stories has similarities to stom but he admits he hasn't fully vetted them yet. the president uncharacteristically silent. and press secretary sarah sanders tried to dodge the question again today. >> why the silence? >> i don't think it's silent when the president has addressed this. we have addressed it extensively. nothing else to add. >> the president has addressed this? more like ignored the two women spoken publicly hand come out with their affairs with them. >> are you lying about the affairs? >> mr. president, any comments on miss mcdougal? >> and goes on and on. why isn't the president fighting back? after all, no problem doing it before when it comes to the 15 women who a kuszed him of assault, and improper
4:02 pm
advancements. >> these claims are all fabricated. they are pure fiction. and they are outright lies. these events never, ever happened. >> every women lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. total fabrication. the events never happened. never. all of these liars will be sued. >> i always have to point out that he has not sued a single one of them. but when it comes to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal who by their accounts had consensual affairs with the president, trump leaves the response up to his spokes people. >> the president doesn't believe any of the claims that miss daniels made are accurate. >> the president has denied. >> except he hasn't himself. why is he silent? well, sarah sanders did not have a good answer to that today.
4:03 pm
>> he's focused on pushing agenda through. sometimes he specifically engages and punches back and sometimes he doesn't. >> president engaged. he gives us messages to come out and deliver on his behalf on the regular basis, but he's also put out a number of tweets over the last week. and i think you can expect that he'll continue to do that. >> doesn't push back. well, that's not true. the president does it nonstop. and he is proud of doing it. in fact the list of people he's gone after over the years seems endless. >> sleepy eyes chuck todd, he's a sleeping son of a -- >> she's unhappy. >> i like his acting but in terms of when i watch him doing interviews various other things, not dealing with albert
4:04 pm
einstein. >> i thought seth meyers he was not good. he's a stutterer. >> you could see blood coming out of her eyes. blood coming out of whatever. >> he's lying ted. no good. bad guy. i call him little marco. crooked hillary clinton. >> i call her poe cahontas. >> glen beck, massive. >> we had a problem. >> i don't know what i said. i don't remember. >> and that's just what's on tape. some of his personal attacks are actually lobbed via twitter. here are the faces on those just since taking off, arnold schwarzenegger, bad governor, even worst hosting the apprentice. you can see. goes on and on. so for the white house to say this is a president that doesn't hit back on every topic, well,
4:05 pm
look, who else has gone after the president the way stormy daniels has? that the president hasn't punched back. she's dominated air waves for weeks. we know he loves watching the air waves. you'll be hard-pressed that person. which is why the president's silence is deafening especially after comments like this. >> were you physically attracted to him? >> no. >> this is a serious question with legal questions for the president and his team and the american people as we sadie ser answers. jeff zeleny out live at the white house. he is silent. not usually does he take it and take the on us on himself to weigh in, ignoring every
4:06 pm
question about stormy daniels. >> he is indeed. and very subjects off limits for this president. so certainly his silence is very unusual. but strategic in this matter. i'll told he is being advised by friends talking to him to simply not weigh in. it could only make this worse. never mind the politics, yes supporters will stick with him. in the middle of the midterm election. worry cross america that this story is not helpful to the republican brand to say the least. but the legal ramifications also important. but the reality here is sarah sanders told me today when we tried to press her on this that extensively the white house has answered every question. that's just simply not true. we still do not know, i would say a central question, did the president know or authorize the payment of $130,000 to stormy daniels the in the days leading up to the 2016 election. we don't know the answer to that. so the president i am guessing will be asked this, but, erin, his schedule is something i've
4:07 pm
not seen really in the last i would say 15 months of this presidency. tomorrow again his schedule does not call for any public events. didn't today. didn't yesterday. so that is my question here. how much is this going to seep into other matters here? simply is not able or willing to do other things to get close to a camera for this. so the next time we are scheduled to see him with potentially asking him a question is on thursday when he leaves for cleveland, and then mar-a-lago. that could change of course. but he is hunkering down here. the question is will he be disciplined long enough to do it? >> thanks. joining me now is panel here. i mean, john, pretty stun whg you look at the schedule. usually a whole list of things. tomorrow lunch with the vice president. and he's going to be some sort of awarding ambassador ships which may or may not be on camera.
4:08 pm
this is a guy who loves the cameras and has been, frankly, literally running away from them for quite a while. >> this is a guy who has an opinion on everything. who loves punching back. whose real calling to be don rick els of politics and it must be killing him to not push back. but it does create an area in the white house. it doesn't help him do his job. and might bring out the clinton job, it looks like a denial. like a denial. and being caught in double blind. afraid to speak, because if he does, it could create legal jeopardy. >> that's a big issue. because one of these cases with one of the women acutes him of assault, going forward, suing him for defamation. so he may have to answer questions under oath. >> absolutely. >> so opening himself to frankly being called a liar. >> yes. answering questions under oath. lawyers will tell a client in
4:09 pm
this situation shut up. don't say anything. president trump can't control himself. however, in this case, very interestingly, he is shutting up for now. and raises the possibility of lawyers saying to him you don't really know what stormy daniels has. i mean, it is a fear tactic. we don't know what she might have on tape. what kind of evidence she might have. who knows, marks she has nothing. but what we do president trump likes nothing more than calling people liars, loves it, especially women, loves it, whether megyn kelly, but especially the women who accused him of sexual impro pry tipriet. used that word over and over. loves to punch down. and the fact he hasn't gone off to stormy daniels, said things go to his ego. >> unattractiveness, we didn't play that. we know it matters. first thing how do they look. >> presidential debate he talked
4:10 pm
about the size of this mail organ. >> hands. >> is that what he did? fortunately that's what did he. >> what we have seen here, both patrick and john pointing out, level of discipline we have not yet seen from this president. that is actually an important thing. he's been told by friends and advisers countless times to not go on twitter and ignored them every single time. but this time he's actually listening. do you think that he's going to be able to hold out? >> that's absolutely right. i think there are a couple things going on here. the first is that of the many people the president has gone after, both in person and on twitter, ted cruz, marco rubio, rowsey o'donnell, not only has he done so cost free, but benefited politically from doing so. in this case he could pay a real not only political cost, but a legal cost from going after stormy daniels and karen mcdougal. and the other thing is the president contrary to in
4:11 pm
previous times, his lawyers have warned him about going after robert mueller and he's done that anyway. he is, as patrick noted, he's actually listening to the advice of his lawyers. i wouldn't venture to guess why he's doing that in this case as opposed to in the case of the mueller probe, which obviously could put him in legal peril as well. but i can say that having talked to many of his allies who have spoken with him about it, they are greatly relieved that the president for now is staying quiet. i would not venture to say whether he'll continue to keep his mouth shut. >> i'm curious though, and i want to get the sound bite ready what we played, how he loves the word lie ar and loves to use it t and uses it liberally when it comes to women, in particular the 15 plus women who have accused him of unwanted advances, assault, harassment. let me play that again of the president calling them liars.
4:12 pm
okay. we are getting it? >> all fabricated. they are pure fiction and outright lies. these events never, ever happened. >> every women lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. total fabrication. >> the events never happened. never. all of these liars will be sued. >> and now in the case where you have an nda, and lawsuits actually going on, president has joined the lawsuit against stormy daniels on this, he still not weighing in and not using the word lie ar. there has to be a spre specific reason for that. >> there is a reason. the two things, willing to comment except stormy daniels and vladimir putin. these seem to be the two topics off limits to him. they are varying degrees of importance. but i'll say that stormy daniels
4:13 pm
probably cuts on a personal level even more than the mueller probe for him. and what it also raises with the nda out there, and her lawyer saying more women to come, if this has really been a pattern play they have run, then there is going to be compounding problems for him. >> right. talking about ndas because avenatti saying eight additional women, making it clear he hasn't vetted them, i want to make that point, but two of them had ndas with the president. >> yeah president trump comes out of warfare, put ndas on people and control the situation. but with stormy daniels i think we have to say this, because i covered hillary clinton's two presidential cam pains, wrote a lot about hill parry and bill clinton. melania trump is a major figure in this. their son is in the white house. he is a figure in this. the reality is that president trump -- we don't know what he is thinking with regard to this,
4:14 pm
but the more that he goes after this, the more that he sort of deals with this, the reality is that this is a very sensitive area. we don't know what mrs. trump thinks. >> no, we don't. >> human cause. >> thank you all very much. next the epic battle over this question, are you a u.s. citizen. plus after years working under cover at the cia trump head to pick the agency is going public, and fighting republicans who to be, will she get the job? and stormy daniels hand karen mcdougal say they've had affairs with the president, does this matter, this is the crucial question, everyone, does it matter to the women who got him over the top into the white house? >> just because she's a porn star or play mate, i don't care. . why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. how'd i get this yard?

4:18 pm
congressman won't run in part because inundated with questions about stormy daniels. telling "the new york times" if i had a town hall it would be questions about stormy daniels. tells cnn that eight women have come forward in total with stories of alleged affairs with the president. the question though is does this matter when it comes to him staying in the white house. does it matter to women voters? miguel marcus is outfront.
4:19 pm
>> reporter: the allegations of extramarital affairs. >> she looked around and said beautiful something happened to her mom. and was gone. >> reporter: the stormy daniels going public with her story. >> you still like the president and approve? >> i love the president i love everything he does. >> reporter: hasn't shaken the president's most ar dent reporters. >> just because she's a porn star or playmate. i don't care. you know. that's personal. and i this i she should keep it personal. >> reporter: but for some republicans who spourupport the president today. >> i wish sometimes his speech was more kind and professional. >> reporter: she is it -- is an elected official tax collector. >> reporter: support another republican if someone came along in the primary. >> potentially. depending who it was. if they could put fort the same
4:20 pm
voice and values but maybe do it in a different way. >> reporter: in parkville, a picture postcard, kansas city suburb, allegations from the porn star and the president for some voters serve only as confirmation. >> reporter: does that play into your opinion of him? >> i had kind of going into the original election, there were talks of things going on. i already had a low opinion of him to begin with. >> reporter: at a zbaegathering republican women in clay county, the allegations are viewed as old news. >> everyone does something in their past, i'm not saying he did anything in his past, doesn't bother me. it is between he and god what he's done in the past. and that's what we are that you canning about is the past. >> now what we are working with him for is future. >> reporter: but the president's
4:21 pm
ha might be competing for his future. most in the country. throwing support behind republican josh holy who wants to unseed the democratic incumbent claire haskell. >> i've always been. >> reporter: this has turned nonvoters into a certain vote against the president in november. >> i'm not excited about the people who have staunchly stood next to him and said, yea, he's really awesome. because he's not. >> reporter: now, the president and the republican party should be in easy street like places like missouri, but in case places like suburbs like kansas city driving them away from himself and his party. erin.
4:22 pm
>> all right. thank you very much, miguel from parkville, missouri. and now amy cramer and keith boykin. keith, first to you, i know two women that stood out to me speaking to miguel saying this is the past between him and god. that hasn't changed, right. so more and more women coming forward. more disgusting stories and not worried about it. >> well, yeah, not entirely surprised. two fact points to add to this. first, in the election, 2016, 53% of white women voted for donald trump. 49% for hillary clinton. second data point if you look at a poll in 2016, 30% of evangelicals had a problem with politician who had more hall failings. but when barack obama was president in 2011, 72% of white evangelicals had a problem with people politicians who had problems like that.
4:23 pm
so clearly a hypocrisy there between white evangelicals so critical of clinton, but when donald trump comes into office, he can shoot someone at no consequences and clearly that's the place. >> one question, amy,,000 is all of this works on the margin. you look at the white women if that goes down to 38, he could lose the whole election. but that group in particular. and there we did see one republican woman say i'll vote for anybody that isn't in even if i don't give a hoot about him because i am upset. and the other one saying it's not professional and i don't like it. are those warning signs for you? >> i think that the president was elected to do a job. he was elected because people wanted had him to go in and shake things up in washington d.c. we saw it in the election, both with bernie sanders and
4:24 pm
historihistoric hillary clinton. that people across the country were tired and wanted a change. a lot of people voted for donald trump to be the disrupter and focus on national security, jobs and the economy. and he is doing that. and at the end of the day we can take polls until the end of time, but really all that matters is on election day. and i believe that people vote with their pocketbook. this is all a bunch of noise. and i'll say this, erin, where i live in roswell, georgia, people don't wake up and go to cnn politics, like all of us who feed off of politics. they get up, take care of their families. what they care about is do they have a job. can che put food on their table. >> to this point, the wlt wlt wrote about the issue of stormy daniels. they think it's a serious issue and wrote in part this is why. many trump partisans will refuse to believe but our guess is the margin this contributes to
4:25 pm
public believe that president trump flaws under mining chances for successful presidency. that's the big issue. they may not read every in and out. but they all know about stormy daniels on "60 minutes." >> but sex sells. >> i don't think the sex part is selling at all. i have to be pretty honest sex part is pretty disgusting. >> president is focused on other issues. but the president -- donald trump was the same one who said if hillary clinton got elected the country would be engalged i scandal watching and this is what's happening right now. >> we didn't elect him -- >> i think it's highly hypocritical. >> it's not. why is it? >> amy, you defend donald trump despite all the pushy grabbing
4:26 pm
and all other stuff with the porn stars. despite all of that, when barack obama you were on cnn on this network, you know what you said barack obama don't love america. what's the difference between barack obama, roy moore and donald trump? >> come on, don't pull that, you are above that. >> because he's a black man. you are willing to defend white men. >> you are better than that. >> you should be better than that. >> no, barack obama wanted to fundamentally change america. anybody that wants to fundamentally change america does not love america. >> and you support that? >> amy, if barack obama had had an incident like this with a
4:27 pm
porn star would you admit the treatment of it would be totally different? >> i mean, i think we are at a different place in time. and i was on air this morning -- >> can you answer that question, honest will i? >> i don't think it would have been. >> do you think the treatment would have been different with a black president having an affair with a porn star while home is at home with a baby? >> are you a bigot? which is it? this is i go logical. can you tell me it wouldn't be the same with barack obama. barack obama couldn't wear a tan suit without being -- >> i didn't say one thing about barack obama wearing. i like barack obama as a person. i don't like his ideology that's what i don't like. >> you said he doesn't not love america on this network. now you defend donald trump and roy moore. >> let me answer you. barack obama said he wanted to fundamentally change america. i don't believe if you love this country why would you want to
4:28 pm
change it. >> president trump said let's change america. >> we'll get back. thank you both. >> i think you are above that. >> you should be above defending roy moore and donald trump. >> next, the census wants to know are you a u.s. citizen. and trump's pick for cia director, could that derail her confirmation. her. we'll be right back. bring us doubt, and we'll bring you the first car with true hands free driving for the freeway. bring us a challenge, and we'll reinvent what it means to own a car. ♪ bring us all your expectations, and we'll defy them. again, and again, and again. ♪ get ready for the wild life with one a day men's.

4:32 pm
better comply with the voting rights act. which is something that is important and apart of this process. and, again, this is something that has been part of the census for decades. >> tom foreman outfront. so, tom, please explain the first of all bottom line point here, why does this matter so much for democrats? >> bottom line they think it could have serious, political and economic impacts on blue america. this is census right now and numbers will tell us what we are talking about. 327 million people every seven years they have to counter residents and ask a lot of serious questions, how many people living in your household, ethnicity, how old are they, so why would this matter so much? there are about 11 million people in this country who are unauthorized without the proper papers to be here. and the center says most of them live in these 20 cities coast to coast that we've highlighted in
4:33 pm
yellow here. if they don't come forward to talk, that effects blue america. because look at the overlay of the presidential map from last time around. these are almost all blue areas. places like california out there. look at that. that's where most of these unauthorized immigrants are. and that's where the democrats are winning governor ships. presidential race. congressional seats. legislative seats. all of that, erin. >> obviously they would lose some of those seats if that question came in and got honest answers which is obviously ha big question here. the reality of it is people not citizens can't legally vote. so why is this controversial? you are saying this would still matter in voter representation even though they are not citizens. >> yeah, they can't vote, but there is a political fallout from it. look at it this way, let's say you had a ung dercouldn't, inaccurate count because people would not come forward, that would effect redistricting.
4:34 pm
how many people come out of this these areas could effect how many safe seats and $400,000 billion like funding. this is what democrats are worried about. they are saying they could be catastrophe for many blue states. republicans are saying if you are in this country illegally, you may be avoiding the census anyway. one question is not going to change it all. >> right. one can imagine if that question is there no you are not ha citizen you would behest tants. thank you. outfront now gary lock, and grover nor quiz. so grover let me start with you. is it wrong to ask people on the census form if they are a citizen of america or not? >> well, as was pointed out, for decades this has been asked for the short form that everybody
4:35 pm
gets. and today it's asked in the long form where they sample people and then the government says we'll guess from there. all you are going to get with asking everybody is more accurate answers because when we do it with the acs, the long form where they pull fraction of the people, they then guess from there. why would you let the government guess on these numbers rather than having real numbers? i understand that the democrats have concerns that they v- advantage themselves over the years with this. however, simply this is it a question that's been asked for decades. question that's asked now on the long form. >> secretary lock. >> what's the big deal. >> secretary lock. >> well, the last time it was asked in the survey went out to all americans was 1950 census. 1960 and 19d 70 did not have that question. and as grover indicated they asked that question in about 15% of the population in the last several censuses.
4:36 pm
but the 2010 census prepared by the bush administration, and we in the obama administration had to administer it, but we got the best response, came under budget by $2 million, but by that bush administration, it was not part of the question. in the old days we used to have 50, 60 questions in the census form. the short frm that everybody filled out had seven or eight or 9 questions. but others 15% got 52 questions asking do you have running water. do you have flushed toilets. how do you go to work? what time of the day to you go to work? those were so onerous that very few people turned it in the form. that's why we went to a short form uniform form for everyone and periodic surveys that ask same mundane questions about citizenship. but those are voluntary. but what we need is need
4:37 pm
accurate count citizen or not citizen or documented or not documentsed. that is required by the constitution going back to george washington. >> so you are saying accurate count. but within that, secretary, will let me ask you this question, because it's used for things like how many representatives, and all these things that determine who ends up in the white house. so it would seem unfair, right, you can see this argument, could you, that someone who is in this country illegally who is not a citizen is actually counted as someone who lives in a district and that count of a person goes towards that district getting a congressional head? is that unfair? >> well, that's not the real issue. because that has been the problem, and i suppose the argument ever since our country was founded. even under george washington you even counted slaves obviously not entitled to vote, could never vote.
4:38 pm
and yet that was part of the rule of four fifths going back to our founders. so this issue of counting people, the constitution says just count the number of people living in america, whether they are tourist, foreigners, but living here, and that has been the requirement of the u.s. constitution. never been about who is entitled to vote. >> grover, this is not about weighing the scales down on voting as the secretary says? >> if you want to get offended by questions that are asked, i think we should start with the ones on the short form. they ask you your race or ethnicity or where your great grandparents came from. we are all americans. and only thing that you should be asked about on the census or any government document is whether you are an american citizen or not, their requirements american citizens have and noncitizens don't, and advantages being a citizen give you that not being a it is senior somebody in france
4:39 pm
doesn't get. but it's really offensive that the government goes and asks what color your skin is or what language your grandfather spoke. no legitimate function of government, of american government, i see the south africans did this, why would we ask people's color or race or religion? they don't ask religion, but they do ask race. they do ask ethnicity. that's nonsense. if you are a person you are a person and we should go away from the three fifths discussion part of the nation to everybody who is a citizen is a citizen. that's the only thing that should matter in the united states government. only thing that should matter to any american, not somebody's race or ethnicity, that's nonsense. government should keep no data like that. >> but grover is always concerned about saving u.s. taxpayer money. secretary ross, head of the commerce department who made this decision, acknowledged that
4:40 pm
including this question will result in millions of people not sending back the census form, and he says that they are therefore going to have to hire hundreds of though stands of americans to go door to door to collect this information, which will cost the american taxpayer millions and millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars more. again, we are supposed to count just the number of people living in america in all parts of america because regardless of this issue of representation, whether or not a state will lose the number of congressional seats because they under count the number of people living in that state compared to another state, federal dollars flow to those communities whether people are citizens or noncitizens. whether they are about to become a united states citizen. i mean are we going to ask the question are you here legally but applying for citizenship? because those whether seniors orchids they are entitled to government services. the number of people living in a state will determine how much that state or that city gets for human services for road building, for police, and fire,
4:41 pm
