tv Cuomo Prime Time CNN June 22, 2018 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT
7:00 pm
this nightmare being locked away from the only normal you know. right there, you know all you need to know about what is right and wrong in this situation. no matter how some might try to tell you that these kids are somehow less than our own, we know that is empty. someone selling something that no one should ever buy, why? because here's the truth, we are all interconnected, we are all interdependant, we're all in this crazy world together, that's just the fact. some day these kids may be in school with mine, in my house, one of them may be my boss. who knows. law and compassion can be partners. a secure border doesn't have to wall off decency. i know this has been and always will be a melting pot nation. diversity will always be our strength. my friends, listen to your heart and it will drown out all the
7:01 pm
ugly noise. that's our closing argument. all right, the man, don lemon is off tonight. he'll be back on monday, he promises. that means you get an extra hour of cuomo prime time right now. just two days after the president ordered an end of the separation of families at the border, thousands of parents are still desperately scrambling to find their kids. can you imagine being in their situation? no word on when they will ever see them again. the administration has no system in place to revolve -- resolve this crisis of its own making. we'll talk to a man tonight who is trying to help hundreds of parents track down their own kids. does the law allow for the president to do what he did at the border? that's a big question. or does the law demand he fix what he did? we got cuomo's court in session tonight. we have new tariff threats from
7:02 pm
president trump, could widen the riff with our allies. we got his top trade adviser here, peter navarro on friday night. let's get after it some more. >> doesn't matter what you hear there's only one truth. mothers and fathers are suffering unspeak bl trauma when their separated from their children. you get that here as soon as you get it here, it's not over. the trump administration says it is unified approximately 500 families separated at the border. i think it's those that they get in that moment. what about the ones that have been farmed out? thousands more? unclear. evan is in mcallen, texas. thank you for being there for us on a friday night. what do you know? >> you know, chris there's so much about this story that we haven't seen. access to the detention shelters is limited.
7:03 pm
access to the immigrants who have been detained is more limited. a few hours ago, i got a phone call from one of those immigrants inside a detention center here in texas. the phone call came from the por isabel detention center in texas. on the line is an undocumented immigrant who asked that we not identify her by name. she's from honduras and was separated by her son 11 days ago after crossing the border illegally. i asked her how she's feeling. not good at all she says, it's a trauma we'll never forget. all the mothers who are here as well as the kids. the truth is we never imagined this would happened. i asked her how she was separated. they betrayed us she said. they told us we westeren't goino
7:04 pm
separate from them, and we never imagined it would be so long. >> there are things that you can do specifically to help out with the children -- >> from inside her south texas law office, jodey good win is trying to find 22 children. she reps 25 undocumented immigrants who have all been separated from their children about two weeks. >> most of them don't know where their kids are at this point? >> none of them know whowhere their kids are. i don't know where their kids are. >> goodwin says she's tried to call the number the federal government gave to track with the children have sent. but that doesn't work. >> it's not a system where you punch in a parent's name and it pop's out the child name. it just doesn't exist. >> highly frustrating for them? >> very frustrating. each time i see them, they ask, any news, do you have any news. >> reporter: a number of
7:05 pm
emotional reunions between separated families, there are many families struggling to have access over the phone. dhs says the adult detention centers a centers have phone where is the families can call the children. the honduras immigrant on the phone tells me she's in the wing of of a detention center with others who are trying to keck with their children. she said president trump, for one second put yourself if our place, the only thing we want is for them to give us our children back. >> reporter: chris, government officials say one of the reason this database of children's name isn't accessible for their own security. concerns about trafficking and abuse and that sort of thing. the fact of the matter is, there are hundreds if thousands of parents in detention centers
7:06 pm
trying to figure out how to connect with their children. i spoke with the second immigrant over the phone, he says his biggest concern is trying to figure out where his 12-year-old daughter is and wondering how she's feeling and the anxiety, the insecurity and confusion about what this separation has done to her. that's what he's most concerned about tonight. chris. >> ed, you're speaking the same language but we're not feeling the same pain. can you imagine if you were in their situation? thanks for bringing us their stories my brother. appreciate it. ed lavender. i want to turn it over to a man whose work to try to -- he's with the texas civil rights project, he's also in mcallen, texas. thank you for being with us. >> reporter: thank you for having us tonight. >> is it true that even if reunification is allowed in a
7:07 pm
case, that the only responsibility is on the detained parent to track their kid down within the system? >> reporter: yes, very much so. one of the thing that we know for sure, this is a very difficult process. you heard it for yourself. since may 24th, we have been interviewing parents who have been separated from their children here at the mcallen courthouse. we have spoken to 381 of them. we cannot confirm any of our clients have been reunited with their children. that's the magnitude of the crisis we're facing. every day that we pass is another day that our clients and people reinterviewed are not going to speak and see their children. for us, with the volume that we have and the amount of people we need to get to, connect with legal counsel and make sure they have everything they need to go through immigration case and also find their children, it's going to be a long drawn-out process. >> so, have you ever heard of another process where the onus
7:08 pm
is on the person detained to find their kid? even if you just think strait criminal justice. if somebody is incarcerated the system keeps track of them and produces them for trials, hearings and court appearances and ultimately release, but not here. how do you understand the point behind the policy? >> that's exactly right. we have literally two different systems here they were never meant to speak with each other. the office of refugee settlement is meant to address issues with unaccompanied minors, that means children who came here without parents or family members. while our immigration detention center is basically men to keep people segregated. what we have now is basically the parent -- children who are separated. and we have no mechanism to make sure we're going to connect them fully. there is no daeb, there is no
7:09 pm
process and that's what we have right now. we're not getting ans from the federal government about what the next steps are. >> you got a simple of six weeks and you got hundreds of cases. customs and border protection says all children it has in custody will be reunited as of today. do you believe that and does that include any of the immigrants you're working with? >> right, and no so that's the thing right. in their custody means something very different. the 2,400 people that are already been separated they are in i.c.e. custody and the children you r in office of refugee settlement custody. that problem is still not addressed. it might be that a cbp will unite them moving forward but it doesn't address any of the people who have been separated. >> that is the new former. so, those people get released, what happens to them we still don't know what the system has
7:10 pm
in place. once your separated you're still stuck. thank you very much. keep us in the loop with your efforts. how many people, how long it's taking and what the responses are. we will get the word out. >> why are we going to get the word out, because you care? americans say it's important important for the u.s. to get along with our allies than it is to fight with them and getting tariffs. these are the issues you care about. you care about what's happening with kids, and trades. the president hours ago made a new tariff threat against europe. we have peter navarro with us tonight. on a friday night, the president's point man on trade. he's going to make the case to you about why the president's policy is better for america. next. little resourcefulness,th a ingenuity, and grit, we're not only capturing energy from the sun and wind, we're storing it. as the nation's leader in energy storage,

7:15 pm
>> we're on a trade war brother and you started it. fair point? >> the biggest part of that is when china joined the world trade organization in 2001 with the help of president clinton. we lost over several thousand factories and manufacturing jobs. the casualties in that particular trade war, chris, were the men and women working with their hands in states like ohio, michigan, north carolina. >> wasn't that about innovation? >> not at all. it was about china's unfair trade practices. my office this week released a report -- >> i have it. thank you very much for that. >> if you look at the chart in that report, you'll see china uses over 50 unfair acts policies and practices to extract wealth, jobs from this
7:16 pm
country. the big issue we face with china, china is targeting the crown jewels of technology. they're taking it by theft and transfer. they're coming over here with bag fills of money they got from ill gotten gain -- >> buying stuff up. >> you and i are going to agree that that's unacceptable -- >> yeah, the question is how to stop it. the push back is these tariffs won't stop it. it'll be tit for tat, everybody's going to get hurt and nothing's going to get better. >> the purpose of that report was to explain why the combination for starters and tariffs -- a better way to deal with the crown jewels. the tariffs are designed as a defense against china's predatory practices, chris. if you remember what happened
7:17 pm
over the last 15 years, china has used unfair practices to go after steel and aluminum industries, appliance, shoes, toys, what ever it is, they dominate those thing now because they cheat. the tariffs are a defense mechanism to protect our high-tech companies. we're talking about artificial intelligence, robotics, if we lose those three thing we'll lose our future -- >> in, the question is how do you stop it. you have republicans and democrats lining up to oppose the president on this, for different reasons perhaps -- >> not on this, chris, not on china. >> the way you deal with china. they say your remedy will hurt many of his voters. you're going after allies at the same time you're going after china, in the way that may spread our power as oppose
7:18 pm
skrating our power. >> that's why i'm here talking with you. let me reiterate. let's take by example the solar industry. we used to own the solar industry, we invented solar, we used to have over 30 companies in solar. the chinese using unfair practices to put some of those interrupt. they were stealing the secrets of others. we have tariffs on solar and we're seeing the resurgence of that industry. >> they say sanctions are the real weapon. that's what the critics say. stick with the sanctions. >> chris, i don't know if you know this, the department of commerce, they have a unit that does what we call anti-dumping policies on duty.
7:19 pm
it's designed to raise tariffs against countries and companies that dump stuff here in this country. we have hundreds and hundreds of tariffs on those grounds. all we're doing is to protect the ground jewel of technology in china's case is to defend ourselves -- remember there's over 50 of them chris. i'd love to have you show that chart to your viewers sometimes, and i'll go over them one by one. i tell you hour hair will curl after that -- >> it is curled -- >> that's what i said, more than it ever would. >> the point comes down to what the politics are leer and what makes sense. trump is doing this because it sounds strong, but in practice, it won't be strong. especially if your going after a perceived bad guy in china. and that, it didn't make sense except in political on ticks and
7:20 pm
you wound up putting america in a hole. >> well, look, chris, china's trying to steal our technologies, they're trying to buy up silicon valley. we're trying to do something about it. tariffs defend our healthy companies from chinese invasion. the restrictions considered would prevent chinese from coming up and buy it. if you want to move to europe with cars and things like that, i'm happy to talk about that. i would point or for example, germany sells us three cars for every one we sell them. now, we run a almost $70 billion trade deficit in goods with germany, it's 6,000 jobs per billion dollars. that means it's almost a half million more jobs in places like baa very ya than detroit because
7:21 pm
germany cheats. the interesting thing about germany, even though they're extracting wealth from this country, they're not paying their fair share of nato. so, this is the kind of thing that president donald j. trump has encouraged to stand up to. he's going to take heat from folks, but he's doing the right thing -- >> the heat is something like what you guys are dealing with as it relates to policy. >> i'm trying to give you a little light on the subject, chris. >> and i appreciate it. >> i do appreciate the time you're taking on this. >> this is an ongoing conversation as we find new details like what will come of the nafta fix with canada and
7:22 pm
mexico. come back on the show and explain it why it's a better move and we'll test it. thank you sir. we're going to delve into how the president will change the narrative. we have great debaters standing by ready to go. it's friday night, let's get after it. next i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor,
7:24 pm
why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. pour it through brita's two-stage filter. dissolved solids remain? what if we filter it over and over? (sighing) oh dear. thank goodness zerowater's five-stage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. so, maybe it's time to upgrade. get more out of your water. get zerowater.
7:26 pm
all right, it is not uncommon for president trump to go to feelings when he doesn't like the facts. he attempted to do so again today, while standing along side, so-called, angel families, those are the people who had love oned killed by undocumented immigrants. this is what detaining families at the border about? lets debate this with angela wr y, and john fredricks. thank you both for joining us here. appreciate it.
7:27 pm
angela wr y, did we see the president say let's care about these people or did we see more of a distraction? >> i think it's more of a distraction and ugly politics. do we have a responsibility to grieve with these families who have lost their loved ones, at the expense of no matter who committed the crime? absolutely. should we show compassion to these folks? absolutely. should we set policy based on these debts or incidents that have occurred, that is broad-sweeping, impacting families all over the world? absolutely not. i think the president has the responsibility to not only be careful with his word choice by also be accurate with data. today, chris he spoke and used data that have been debunked several times about from steve king talking about the number of undocumented people in this country who commit crimes, that number has been disproven over and over again.
7:28 pm
in fact, there's data that sflots straits that when undocumented people live in communities, the crime rate doesn't go up at all. what president has engaged in, chris is the very same thing that he's done since he announced his campaign, that is to fear munger and play on people's fears by over riding over people. we can't continue to let this happen. >> john, why is the president right in telling people, you got to be secure on the border, if not people are going to kill you? >> well, chris and angela, this is the other side of the tragedy here. when illegals come into the united states and are undocumented -- here's the facts right, you're all welcome to your own set of opinions. the gao has said, that's the government, doesn't matter who the president is or whose in charge. since 2011 with undocumented immigrants, illegals, 25,000
7:29 pm
murders, 70,000 sex crimes, 40,000 robberies. now, this is tragic, it has to stop. what the president has done with the policy, he's tried to put in a deterrent to stop people from breaking the law and crossing the border illegally. that's the policy. catch and release, chris, is not a policy. it's looking the other way, and it's the 40-year unholy alliance of democrats that don't care who comes in, because they want cheap votes. and republican, big donors from goldman sachs and wall street that don't care about u.s. workers. and what they wage are, they simply want cheap labor to your friends in lower manhattan can make more money. that's been the unholy alliance that this president has exposed for us all to see. >> let's get angry back in
7:30 pm
here -- >> -- disaster. >> the whole answer to this disaster is to separate these families and create a crisis on the border that he was not partnered to deal with, with his own policies and procedures. >> chris, there was such an important moment in what john just said. i hope people all over the country and the world play it over and over again. what this is about to conservatives that are heartless, is the fear that there are people who are coming here that will vote for progressive policy, for people that will treat them as human beings. that's what he said, his first point, democrats are going to use there for cheap votes. that is the incredible point. the biggest things you all are worried about is figuring out other ways suppress votes. you did it with the north carolina id pass and now you're trying to do it with the border. what's interesting is it's very
7:31 pm
very inhumane. you tried to go down these road calling people, it doesn't matter that these aren't our kids. what matter is, we're global citizens, we are human beings first, we should be decent first. we need to treat people with the respect they deserve. the immigration policies that we have don't work. what would have been amazing is for republicans to have a backbone what the senate tried to pass a comprehensive immigration bill, that never made it to the house. that would have been incredible because then it would have been -- instead what you've done is demonize people and come up with this idea of a faux wal that mexico was not going to pay for. now you're trying to get tax payers to pay for this wall that won't work. instead, why don't we stop with the hyperbolic talking points and say, what we have isn't
7:32 pm
working. what we're doing is inhumane. how do we come together to figure out how to make a better life for people who are trying to escape a might mare? we should not put them in another one. >> how is the president's policy making thing better, john? >> well, look, angela is the noted queen of hyperbo le. there wasn't a single fact in what angry said. >> hold on chris, hold on chris -- >> let me answer the question. the president doesn't want an open border system. obviously angry is for open borders. we can't have a double standard justice system in this country, chris, because right now in your city of new york, in brooklyn, if a single mom that doesn't have any money right now, goes into the drugstore and steals two books of roman noodles to
7:33 pm
feed her children, and it's apprehended for shoplifti -- if she steals food for her children, she's apprehended for shoplifting to feed her family, guess what happens, she's processed, she goes in jail, and her children are taken away. >> but that's a crime, it's not a low-level misdemeanor for crossing the border. >> crossing the board is illegal. >> you have a set up set up for that. you have a system of pridsen, courts and judges ready to go. you guys didn't prepare for your own success. >> we expected those that wanted asylum to follow the law and to go to the port of entry. >> well, with the wall you're looking up in the units. >> john, i know you said i'm the
7:34 pm
queen of hyperbo le, you're the king of -- you also has misnomers and fake knews in your talking points. from what i understand about you, your proponent of criminal justice form, the woman whether she stole noodles, she probably doesn't agree to be in jail because she was trying to feed her family. i hope we can agree that someone seeking asylum, running for their lives, fearing trying to provide a safe space for their kids. they may not go to the process you want them to. they may forget to dot an i or cross a t. they may just be running for safety. how do we solve this problem? it's about saying, wow she might have had a reasonable point here. what we have going right now does not work. what we just created and tried to do -- what we tried to do was
7:35 pm
separate families so that by the time we detain families in whole people will see that as an acceptable solution, it's not. what we trying southbound working. what y'all have tried isn't working. why don't we come together, grab some kind of north american convention and see what people ned to do to get ahead and achieve. >> i like the policy of getting something done. that's why we keep the has tag of do your damn job going here. mr. fredricks, miss wr y, thank you very much for making the chris on friday night. appreciate it. >> thank you, chris. the separation of families created such disgust that some people are calling it president trump's katrina moment. i don't like the words from the last debate situations, but it wasn't the only major problem for the president this week. chris lizza brings it all.
7:36 pm

7:40 pm
good week for the trump administration. cnn -- at large says he has a list of the three biggest issues of the week. what do you got liz a? >> i'm going to run through this fast and i'm ready for your testing. let's start with melania trump. everybody knows about the jacket. clearly she was sending a message but her office went on the record said he wasn't only to have donald trump tweet out, of course it was a message, it was anti-media. totally off message. the next one, by the way, these stories are not ranked in the order of importance. the audio, video and pictures we're getting out of these deteng centers. donald trump says, i can't sign an executive order or make it work. so did kirsten nilsson, oops, they signed an order. last one, 42% of people think
7:41 pm
donald trump should be impeached. 43% of people said in march, 1974, nixon should be impeached. he was a lot closer to it than donald trump. trump, in a very not good plac , i think those are the three big take away from the week. i'm ready, bring it on. >> first you lose, you put them in no certain order. if you have a list how do you not put them in order? >> poor preparation by me. i wanted you to category rise them. >> let's start with the jacket. it didn't make sense so we have to talk about it, it seemed we wound up in another lying situation. who was lying on there one, her spokesperson or the president? >> there's a zero% chant that melania trump went in her closet and picked out a jacket and said, oh, i'll just wear this
7:42 pm
one. no way. this is someone whose clear of the message she's sending. i think the president got on to the story and said, it's an anti-media message. i think the initial speed didn't sell. trump donald that's made it a bigger story by tweeting about it. >> the bigger orders back and forth, i'm with you on that. the poll, i take the other side. i think he would get these numbers on him no matter the question that you asked. unless you say is the economy better for you, which may be the issue anyway. i think we don't have any deeper insight into whether or not people want him to be impeached, which is going to be important because that's a political process. i don't think we know anymore now than before. >> one which point which backs you up, huge poll is in divide, 88% of republicans think he shouldn't be impeached.
7:43 pm
81% of democrats think he should. here's what doesn't back you up, in the past, the last four or five presidents, a question like this has been asked before, do you think they should be this is usually scary, it usually ranked somewhere between 25 and 29%. that's george bush to barack obama. even clinton, remember, in the house was impeached. already trump is above that it largely reflecting partnership. democrats are more convinced of the nature of this presidency, they believe he should not have won and needs to be out. we're further along that road than in the past, but you're right it's still largely a partisan experiment. >> it's probably the only poll trump is happy to be below. this was a good list. thank you very much. be well my friend. >> happy friday.
7:44 pm

7:48 pm
the president was right, this situation on the border is about the law, but not how he men it. there are big questions about what his kpesks order means or does not mean, legal hurdles, cases. let's take it to the court. federal prosecutor laura coats, and former white house lawyer, jim schults. thank you both for coming on a friday night. coats, do you believe that an analysis of the law empower what the president did or empowers what he did to be if i canned? >> well, first of all, it's kind of a circular argument to suggest he can solve a problem that he created and get full credit of doing so. an executive order that was signed is one that doesn't have much teeth.
7:49 pm
you got the flores agreement -- >> 1997. >> -- 1997 and solidified in the ninth circuit. talk about the limitations the government can detain for a lengthy time over 20 days or -- >> so, didn't that force him to separate the families because he can't keep kids the same way he cannot keep the adults and what's what the flores agreement said and he was following the law? >> in part. because the court says you can't detain for that lengthy period of time, the only end result is to do so. we're talking about a misdemeanor base under a zero-tolerance policy. the fact it was implemented by the policy that required the result. the flores decision was based in part on the abuse of children in detention facilities. those that were housing people that were unrelated to them, rue
7:50 pm
rutinly strip searched and forced to sleep in bed with men and women. the fact and result was the zero-tolerance policy. >> and jim schults that's the policy for >> the countrywide idea that that the law made us do it, the judge said, hey, we're not here to talk about the law. this is choice of how to execute immigration policy by the government. they were basically admitting this is choice of policy, not a mandate by law. so they admitted this is something that they wanted to do, not what they had to do. defend. >> so this president got elected on securing our borders. part of our securing our borders is a policy that does not include catch and release when people are trying to get into this country unlawfully.
7:51 pm
>> is that a legal point or a political point? >> that's a political point that's teeing up the legal point. you have to follow the law. obama time and time again tried to do everything by executive order and circumvent congress. we keep talking about a zero-tolerance policy, right now we have a swreezero action poli congress as it relates to this issue. yes, in 2014 they applied to unaccompanied minors, an issue that was applied in 2007 to unaccompanied minors. and that causes a real problem. there's not an easy solution here. the solution lies with congress. we have underfunded the border patrol. we have underfunded the wall. we need to deal with chain migration. you need to deal with the visa lottery issue, and all these other issues can be wrapped up in it very simply. if you look at the executive
