one about his father being born in germany which he wasn't. he continued tonight saying republicans should be more paranoid about vote counts. he made his remarks at a party function in washington. i don't like the way the votes are being tallied. i don't like it and you don't like it either. you just don't want to say it because you're afraid of the press. he also claimed that the sound from a wind farms causes cancer. they say the noise from wind farms causes cancer. with that i'll hand it over to chris. >> they. >> they may say i'm a dreamer. >> welcome to primetime. who is the chinese lady at mara largo. the suspect was apparently jacked with devices right out of

a bond movie. the question for us is did china really send a spy to the president's house? and why the president is now backtracking on his facall for e full mueller report to come out. what happened to his claim of let's get it out there? and we showed you what's happening at the border. the president's best idea is still to shut it down. the white house is scrambling. the calls continue for congress to stop waiting on the president and do its job. why haven't left and right done anything reasonable to address the real emergency on the border? we're going to demand answers from another lawmakers. what are they waiting for? what do you say? let's get after it.

a thumb drive with malware on it. that's what the secret service said a chinese national had on her when she was arrested at mar-a-lago. you have to. it's only a few pages. it's the affidavit from the secret service agent that was there. they go out of their way to say she is a chinese national. it's relevant to the government. it's like something right out of a spy movie but it was 100% real. this woman is charged with making a false statement to law enforcement and being somewhere she wasn't. the president wasn't there for any of this but it raises very serious concerns. did president xi send a spy to our president's playground? let's bring in intelligence guru mike rogers.

>> could you back this as a suggestion that this lady was a spy? >> you can't up front. there would be a series of things you'd have to get through to make that determination. the chinese in the past have run really poor espionage investigations. really noisy, very clumsy, everything goes wrong. they have been getting better overtime. in the last few years they have gotten good about recruiting assets that can get in and steal information. this looked really sloppy to me. the fact that you were trained you would have never deviated from what your story was at the front gate from any security checkpoint. that wouldn't have changed in any operation i would have ever been aware of. the malware, what does it do? what was the intention? was it just to get in and disrupt? if i turned it into a device in

the hotel it could cause them problems? or was it design wear? and what was on the other devices. if there was malware planted on that thumb drive there is likely other malware or spy wear on the other devices and i'm sure that's what they're going through with a fine tooth comb tonight. >> remote hard drive and this thumb drive with the malware. what's your take? what do you think this woman is going to turn out to be? >> if i had to guess, it's somebody that thought they might be currying favor back home in china. thought they had some way into mar-a-lago and was trying to curry some favor. that could have been anything as simple as when i connected on the device at the hotel, remember the business center and other things, that's one way that you can breech the securities in the hotel system and maybe that's what they were trying to do. >> it just doesn't feel like a

spy effort to me given how sloppy the cover story was her story changed. she fessed halfway through she wasn't supposed to be there. that isn't a typical spy operation. >> i want people to read this criminal complaint because i have to tell you -- here's my take -- if it weren't for the receptionist, this lady may have gotten where she wanted to go. the secret service agents are like we can't read this. this is in chinese. let's get her into mar-a-lago. she doesn't have any swim clothes on her and then the receptionist starts going at her about what event? why are you here? the events don't check out. she goes back to the secret service and they wind up pulling the string on her.

>> this could have been a probing operation as well. how could we get in with a simple story and what could that story be? we have seen those in the past too. it doesn't have to be a golden egg operation where you steal the crowned jewels. some of those things were processed overtime and this could have been one of the operations that may have shocked her how far she got into the operation where they could just collect enough information to say this is what i used at the front gate and the second gate and then she could go well on her way and she went to the receptionist, busted by the receptionist at mar-a-lago. it seems odd to me because it was really poorly planned but it doesn't mean they couldn't have made the effort and you won't really know until you go through all the electronic devices. you find her path back at shanghai and do a little research there with our embassy and their folks to see what

happened. >> the democrats are worried that they're not going to get disclosure. what do you think of the political play of the subpoena. i know they're legal documents. but this is a political play. do you think it's the right play and what do you make of the desire for disclosure. >> i think disclosure is fine. there is a process. they should have waited for it to take hold. >> they say no redaction. they say no redaction. we look at this stuff all the time. we take an oath. we won't reveal the secret. >> i hear you but there are people in that report. i'm an old fashioned guy. i don't care if you're a republican or democrat. the law shouldn't club you

because you got caught in the cross hairs. we should never let our government on either side do that. this has happened a lot in this process from both sides. that's terrible. we ought to protect the things that we know are deserved of protection. there is a counter intelligence investigation. some of that will be redacted. that's the appropriate thing. keeping people out of this fire storm is probably in their best interest if they had nothing to do with it, they were just interviewed. you know supporting materials, as a former fbi guy i talk to your neighbor and say tell me about chris cuomo and he says oh my gosh. he's terrible. he does whatever. so i write that down. it doesn't mean that it's true. so when we do further investigation you determine that wasn't true. there's no merit to it. and that information gets in these files and so somebody

takes the 302 and says oh, look, this guy is a terrible guy because of this. you could ruin the guy's life. >> it's just an allegation that was unproven. >> but you know what happens on the flip side, this stuff doesn't come out and then it seems to be that you're with holding it because you're worried about it and that creates it's own storm politically. >> i mean, i think the report should go to congress at some point. i do. but underlying materials, i'm a little bit -- i don't know. i don't know if i'm sitting right here if that's the right decisi decision. it depends on what the redax looks like. in classified settings it would be appropriate. the whole notion here, people are in a frenzy and that is when real, honest, good citizens get hurt in the stampede and the law is designed, lady liberty is blind folded for a reason to protect people from that

stampede and i just think we ought to be cautious here. the thing with the democrats doing it now, it makes it look like they're trying to pick a fight. if they would have gone through the process and then said, you know what, this is not acceptable. >> you're right. they don't trust the process. some of them cannot believe that it wasn't more daming. what came out from mueller. it's just four pages. even the ag is just saying this is just an initial set of conclusions and wasn't supposed to be a deep dive. i hope not. but some of them don't believe it and the others believe if you're so confident about it, let it come out. so look, i get your transparency of a journalist. we always want more. we'll see how it plays out but timing will also be an issue. you're right. mike rogers, value added. i got lucky having you tonight with what happened at mar-a-lago. it's good to have your take. >> chinese for good-bye. >> don't take a shot at me like that. take care mike, thank you.

>> threats and lies. do you know what that could be? a title for the drama if someone ever writes the movie about this presidency but it does seem that our president seems to revel in misleading you. and we in the media, let's be honest, it's hard for us to escape it and no matter how frustrating we cannot let truth abuse go. what the president says about the border, about his own father, the facts matter. and he can't keep them straight. we have the one man that made it his job to do nothing but staying on top of what the president says and when it isn't true to the point of deception. we got him next. plus he told you, our president, i want to mueller report to come out. i want it to be public. i'm completely exonerated. now he is telling you something else. why? let's debate what mike and i were talking about. we'll have people come in here and make the case for what you should see. sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm.

what is fact and what is fiction? here to set us straight is the washington bureau chief of the toronto star. always good to have you on primetime. it always stings who is around when the president is doing this. it's like standing next to putin. he's next to the nato secretary general. so let's go through a few. the president started with the idea of closing the border as an economic boost to the united states. now he is saying something different. do we have it to listen to? here it is. >> sure it's going to have a negative impact on the economy.

like a deficit with mexico and many years closing the border will be a profit making operation. >> which is it? is it profit making or is it bad for the economy? >> it is obviously bad for the economy. the claim that this would be profit making because the u.s. has a trade deficit with mexico is simply nonsensical. a trade deficit is not equivalent to a loss or to a profit. so trump has gotten it right after getting it wrong before. >> all right. let's go to the asylum hearing. for the 23rd time the president falsely claimed nobody comes back for an immigration hearing. it's only like 1 to 2%. listen to this. >> so what they have done over the years is they release them into the united states and they said come back in four years for a try out and nobody comes back. i guess 1%. 1 to 2% on average come back and nobody can understand why they come back. they're the only ones that come back. >> everybody should know this

nonsense. i'll tell you what is true that we're not going to discuss here. the backlog of cases, 800,000 plus cases are already there. that's something that is a real impetment for people. in terms of who comes back, what do we know? >> you don't have to listen to me. it was 72%. even anti-immigration says that about 2-thirds of people have come back over the last number of years. so again you can make the argument that it should be more but it's not even close to 1 or 2%. >> i don't know where he gets the 1 or 2%. >> it's imaginary. >> it's imaginary. he made it up. >> there's this one that should

just matter to us. it's about puerto rico. that country is what was said by one of the president's team. here it is. >> we have not come to $91 billion. a systematic mismanagement of the goods and services we sent to them. >> it's a slip of the tongue but just to make it clear to all the folks at home -- >> puerto rico is part of the united states. it has been since 1898. puerto ricans are american citizens. >> what do you see as why the president so persistently tries to make puerto rico an other? >> it's hard to get into his mind. we know that he has personal an mouse to many of the politicians there. we know that he was agrieved that he has been accused of mishandling the response to hurricane maria. we also know that he has gone after women of color and people of color on many occasions in a way that he hasn't always other people. it's hard to know which of those it is in this particular case.

>> well, someone he should know is his father. listen to what the president said about his father. >> my father is german, right? was german. born in a very wonderful place in germany. so i have a great feeling for germany. >> my father is from germany. both of my parents are from the eu. >> both of my parents were born in eu sectors. my mother was scotland. my father was germany. >> where was the father of the president born? >> he was born in new york city. his dad was from germany. but he was from new york city and we have the birth certificate for any trump fans that demand birth certificates. we have the birth certificate. he was born in new york. >> now this one from today about vote valleys, this is a really good example of what the president does when it comes to fact and fiction. listen to this. >> we're going to watch those vote tallies. i keep hearing about the

election and the various accounting measures that they have. there were a lot of close elections. they seemed that every single one of them went democrat. there's something going on. you have to be a little bit more paranoid than you are. but we have to be a little bit careful because i don't like the way the votes are being tallied. >> i had to create a third category for this. this goes under the what category. this is full alex jones he went on this. how do you even find a path through that? >> you just say that there's no evidence of deceitful fraudulent counting of votes. the president made these allegations since before his election. he said there was going to be voter fraud. 3 million people voted illegally

in california and that didn't happen. now fraud in the midterm tabulation. none of it happened. this is a figment of his imagination. he uses it as an excuse for why his party didn't do better in the midterms. >> you picked the right job. he will never be bored. it's full employment plan checking the president on these facts. always a pleasure and thank you. >> thank you. >> now this is why the truth matters because if nothing else it takes you to consistency on a position. let it come out. let the people see it. i was totally exonerated. now i don't know about full disclosure. what changed? that's our great debate, next. whoooo. did you know the exact same hotel room... ...can have many different prices? that's why tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites to find the lowest price on the hotel you want. your perfect hotel room for the perfect price!

he can also never say that it's enough. why can't both of those things be true? they can be. i want as much revealed as can possibly be revealed. the facts are exculpatory to the president. i don't care about this report. i don't think the american people do either. what they cared about this is this false accusation. this smear that our president was a traitor. we know now he was not a traitor. that's what matters. that's the conclusion that is going to be taken away by any person not resisting this president. >> i give you a point for using good language there. you didn't say there is no proof of collusion.

not a traitor. no crime for conspiracy. good for you. when you drift into the waters of collusion you start creating the need to see more. then we have to understand the behavior and not just the criminality. however, the president did say that the notion of letting it come out now is ridiculous. well that's not the same as let it all come out. how do you take it? >> i think this president has a pattern and practice of saying one thing and doing one different. sometimes in a matter of minutes and so it's interesting to me to hear steve say he's being authentic. i think the thing that we really have to consider, we talked about collusion but there also hasn't been enough wading into the waters and whether or not that exited. why can't we do that?

we don't have that report. so often your party likes to tow the line and when it comes time to talk about it, there's a double standard that exists. >> as much as can be revealed i want it revealed. by the way, do you know what else i want to be transparent about, the warrants -- >> time-out. >> no time-out. i'm talking. >> the problem is you took liberties -- steve you took liberty in the middle of my comments to go down a road that we're not on. >> hold on. >> you don't get to go down a road -- >> yes i do. >> i'll end it. not on this show.

this is disagreement with decency. steve's point is i want transparency on everything. >> i want to make my own point, chris, no. on the entirety of the way the obama doj and fbi were used as a political weapon -- >> it's your opinion. >> of course it's my opinion. >> so would you be in favor of the documents coming out as well? >> what i'm in favor of right now is what the subject of this great debate is and that's the mueller report. that's what is amazing to me. it always goes back to president obama. it always goes back to anything except for the president of the united states right now, his responsibility. the fact that there are so many criminals around him. so many people committing crimes

but yet he must be innocent somehow. he must be ethical somehow. we're forgetting about the whistleblower that exists with the security clearances. so we can talk about obama. i have never been the type of person who will absolutely be a yes person no matter what on president obama. i dare you to go back and check my record. but i resent the fact that we're coming on to a program to talk about one issue that's dealing with this specific report and somehow we're back into the obama administration for you all to justify your nonsense. no -- i'm not done this time steve. you had a fit to go down the road -- my point is very simple. it's not adam schi if, f and by the way his name is congressman because you called him shifty schiff at the beginning of this. all of these things you may think is okay and i don't. i think history will be kind to the members of congress and the american people that stand up and say this is nonsense.

this is horrible and we have to do something about it. >> you have a problem with one part of the argument you should address it. you're guaranteed confidential information that's going to become relationship vanlt -- relevant. i don't think that's a fair caveat because you're asking classified information to come out. >> chris, in both cases i'm saying as much as can be safely, regarding the national security of the united states, as much as can be released in some cases. i want sunlight and transparency on the mueller report and on the obama doj and fbi. i think that the sunlight will be disinfecting and i think that also what is important here -- i don't care about the details of the mueller report and if they're slightly embarrassing. was the president beholden to a

foreign power? was he a traitor? >> that's a criminal threshold. >> right and we have determined that that was demonstrably false. thank you, next. time to get back to the business of this country. >> mueller couldn't make the case. we need to know what he looked at and why and on obstruction he did something none of us saw coming. a guy in the business of making tough calls wouldn't make the tough call because there was so much proof on both sides. now you have to look at it because the threshold for responsible presidential behavior ain't criminality. we need to know what was in there to make mueller, the guy duty bound to make the call feel that he couldn't make a call. >> but as a prosecutor he doesn't make a call of exoneration. >> that's right. >> prosecutors charge or don't charge. they don't have a third option. >> he shouldn't have said it.

>> barr shouldn't have said it either. >> it was a cheap shot to include it in the report. it was unprofessional. why did barr include it? >> no, barr did to cover his rear end because he didn't want to look like he was hiding it because mueller said it. >> well, now everybody's rear ends are covered because the report is not released and the one thing that i think is important is that whatever we can do. that's a subjective standard. i had a security clearance. i understand that. it's objective and the president still has the opportunity to claim executive privilege. that would also be legal. so you might have ran circles around somebody but it wasn't me tonight. >> the president also -- by the way, the president also had the opportunity to fire mueller and he didn't so yes the president could have stopped this --

>> he could have but the point is he didn't. the point is he didn't. he allowed the truth to be known and the truth is he's not -- >> he did not allow the truth to be known. >> he would have done it on tape just like bill clinton did. >> president trump was never subpoenaed. >> that's true. he wasn't subpoena but he started this saying i want to go under oath. i want to talk to him. i have nothing to hide. >> i think he did want to and his lawyers realized he shouldn't. >> if we know anything about our president he does what he wants every day. thank you for making the case. as always. >> thank you. >> the senate's majority leader is publicly defecting from the president on one thing. the border threats. but we have a republican here that says ceiling off our country is a good idea. congressman makes his case, next. for powerful claritin-d.er

the president says he has a solution to what's happening on the border which is to close the border. here's his suggestion to you the american people. >> if we don't make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed. 100%. and it can be changed in 45 minutes if they want to change it. let's see what they do.

>> no mention of the reality of what's happening on the border and i think there's a reason for that. also no reflection of what he is being told by the men and women around him that understand the realities of the border and the way the president arguably does not. however he does have his supporters on here. the republican from texas, welcome to primetime, sir. thank you for coming on to make the case. >> thanks for having me chris, thanks for coming down to texas yesterday. >> we'll be down there plenty. the situation demands it. so does the job. why is that the answer? >> the president said several months ago we need a wall. he said i'm going to build it myself and declared an emergency and he's doing that and what we have come to now is a situation where mexican government and countries south of mexico have done nothing to police their

boarders and we have caravans of folks coming into the country and drugs and out of control immigration policies and the president saying we have to shutdown the border if no one will do anything else. he knows this will be painful and it's not something that anyone is excited about. was he lying or ignorant? >> i think he believes domestic products would be boosted. but i think what the president believes is this nation is at a crossroads and we have to do something. he isn't just making a statement to congress. he's making a statement on behalf of this country and other nations that your policies of the past aren't working and we're prepared to do something. over the long-term it's going to

be worth it she went out of her way to say mexico has been a good partner. on the caravans and the real crisis on the border in terms of kids and families that contradicts the president. who is right? it's always popular to be nice to folks and people that run the administration under the president are going to be positive. and they leave the big statements to the president. they say if the president wants to go out on a limb and shutdown the border let's let him make that decision. he doesn't mind the bad press. he doesn't mind if it's this show or any other saying how ignorant he is. that's a belief the media

shares. >> i think that's the key. i think you just gave us the key. this sounds good to the base. it sells with your state and many states around this country. these other countries are saying come on up to our country. we're not policing our borders. all they have to do is get across mexico and they're telling their citizens they can get into america. let's not just talk about immigration. this is a drug issue as well. one of the things that you said and many others when we were talking during the shutdown and people said we didn't need this border wall, they said the border wall isn't going to solve your drug problem. they come through the ports of

entry. the experts will tell you what we have been doing isn't working. nothing. >> they'll say it's complicated. >> you were on the border yesterday. >> i've been there dozens of times. >> there's a great video you put on your show's website just today and you were talking with an agent, everything he said is true. the congress and the president, we need to work together. >> but you're doing nothing. that's what i want to ask you. >> he's willing to shutdown the border if that's what it takes. >> it's not a message. >> we have to send a message to members of congress and other countries that what we're not doing is not working. >> let's answer that last one, okay? why aren't you doing anything? this is good to hear you. >> democrats in the house won't even acknowledge that we have a border control issue. >> why don't you? why don't you hold hearings to give the men and women on the border that you say you care about that are working in your state to give them what they ask for. >> i don't know if you recall but the democrats control the

house. >> why don't you raise your voice? >> i'm on this show right now. we have to do something in this country but the first thing that you have to do is acknowledge that there's a problem. democrats won't even acknowledge it. privately they'll say we have a serious issue but we can't talk about this. >> and here's the political mix on this. what is the crisis? if you go down there and talk to your men and women -- i know you do this. >> you were there yesterday. >> forget about going there. you don't have to go to know. you will hear we cannot handle these kids and these families. we cannot handle them. our rules don't allow us to. our resources don't allow us too. we have been telling these people for months. fencing helps in certain ways and it doesn't help us with this and they know it and you have done nothing. >> encourage other countries to send everyone this way? that doesn't make sense. >> you are encouraging it.

>> we have to build meaningful walls, fences, whatever you want to call it. >> the men and women will tell you that migrants keep coming. >> if you cut their funding they'll encourage them more. >> we have to send the message that enough is enough. we're not going to open our doors. >> i don't understand how punching yourself in the face encourages other people not to hit you. >> by not closing our borders and doing something meaningful to solve the problem. >> making your border hard to pass and process effectively is different than closing it. that's what the president says he is going to do. >> the president is prepared to send a message and i'm prepared to support him and i do. thank you for having me on. >> be well.

>> thank you. >> so there's a lot to fact check with the president. i had stuff left over. one is worth talking about. it's about wind mills and cancer but it also raises the question, where is the hot air really coming from on this? d.lemon, next. visionworks can do more than just make you see great.

never sow much of anything, no trump -- that's the page in the book, talks about the windmills. that author is going to join us. go play golf with him. commander in cheat. >> it's destructive. we see the same kind of behavior. d. lemon, sue you in a second. some news that might surprise the white house ahead. turns out puerto rico not another country. i know. i know. that's a tuf one. that's a tough one. we're going to help them out because americans need to stick together now more than ever and we need to expose the divisiveness for what it is. just see it for what it is. and then you make any decisions about it that you want to. the case is next. dna tests with its billions of records, you could learn you're from ireland... donegal, ireland. and your ancestor was a fisherman. with blue eyes. just like you. begin your journey at ancestry.com

the xfinity store is here. and it's simple, easy, awesome. here's mainly what you'll see on the border mon. mothers carrying kids to safety. fathers doing the same. too many of them with bad info or acting on lies from cartels, coyote it i coyotes, sometimes wishful thinking. the reality is while there are bad guys mixed in, the overwhelming majority are people who are desperate for a better life for them and their kids. the president doesn't get this. but border patrol does. >> these folks have done nothing other than cross the border illegally and most of them are economic migrants. they're look for a better way of life. >> so, truth, it's a crisis but not the one the president sold you on. not marauding hordes of ms-13, drugs, terrorist the, mules.

now, i get why our president plays you like this. scaring people and offering them a simple solution to what scares them sells. this president knows xenophobia is contagious, that's why he uses it to demonize people who are not americans and even those who are. look at the barrage of bs tweets. "puerto rico has already been scheduled to receive more hurricane relief funding than any place in history." the polls, pols, greatly imp competent. only take from usa. $ $91 billion to puerto rico. the dems want to give them for. taking dollars away from our farmers and so many others. disgraceful. cannot continue to hurt farmers and states with massive payments. so little appreciation. u.s. territory, calling it a place, he's otherwising it, right? that's who he's doing, that's what he does. for those who argue, this is potus not being great with words, his team is running the

same game, listen. >> all we've done in the country, had a systemic mismanagement of the goods and services we've sent to them. you've seen food rotting in the ports. their governor has done a horrible job. trying to make political hay in a political year and trying to find someone to take the blame off of him for not having a grid, not having a good system in that country. >> these are things -- >> white house spokesman hogan gidley referred to puerto rico as that country twice. he said it was a slip of tongue. puerto rico's been part of the u.s. since president the 1800s. back to the president's tweets. $91 billion to puerto rico and now the dems want to give them more, taking dollars away from our farmers and so many others. disgraceful. can't continue to hurt our farmers. massive payments. so little appreciated. remember that part? i want to keep the record straight. the $391 billi91 billion is note story. $11 billion has been sent to puerto rico. not $91 billion. $11 billion. $91 billion is the estimated

cost of recovery over two decades. see the difference? you see what he's spinning? for comparison, what did it they spend on katrina? $120 billion. didn't have the same number of dead i'm not saying it wasn't worth it. he's twisting, misleading you again. one thing seems direct from and about our president. have you ever heard him reach out about the nearly 3,000 dead in puerto rico? if he does care, why does he deny the fact that of the death there, bitterly to the point of absurdity then when the deaths become a matter of fact, a reality, what does he do? he ignored them. lucky it was only 16. if there was death in puerto rico like katrina, that would have been really horrible. so we did great. when the death is worse than katrina, he ignores it. just like he ignores these faces. all right? why do we show you the faces? because you're not going to sell fear on that kid's face, are you? the president expressing

compassion, being about the kids and their families. go look for it. good luck. i'll bet you whatever you want. the real open question is why he doesn't do it. one obvious reason is that caring about kids like i said doesn't sell fear. doesn't sell a wall. does it? he knows that acknowledging the reality gives him ownership of it. this system is failing and it's on his watch. it's epic and it's dangerous. our president can blame the democrats. he can blame mexico, migrants, blame anybody he wants. wall is all, that was his mantra. he ignored the cries for different rules and resources that those in charge are really worried about. they've been telling him this for months. they told me that, themselves. his administration heard them. continues to not come close to answering those cries. that's the truth. here's the bigger truth. just know what this is about. harshness is strength for this president but it's not the only kind and it's not certainly not the signature trait of our

country. it has not and will not solve the problems in puerto rico, the border or beyond. know that and judge it any way you like. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with d. lemon starts right now. >> it's exhausting. we have to do it but it's exhausting to fact check this president. it's something, you know, i'm glad that there are news organizations that are people who are devoted, that's their job, they're devoted to doing it because it's really exhausting. >> i think that the tedium of catching him when it's really pretty obvious, you got to be careful not to let it get tedious. not to let it get tiresome because you have to pick the ones that matter. 78%, your house went down. i don't care about that, with the windmill b sprns. even the windmill thing to me is more funny if nothing else. funny in a ridiculous way about it him. >> right. >> you have is to keep track of it because he uses it tas a
