it's the expression you get when you, a, lie to his face or drink all of his protein shakes. not that i have done that. it's all blitzer. i replace them. no surprise rudy giuliani didn't get that bologna past chris. it remains to be seen what if any meat he'll be slinging in president trump's 2020 campaign. he will surely now remain high atop the menu on the ridiculist. i want to hand it over to chris. >> it's not cheddar. i would have been provalone. if it was rudy. well-done as always, my friend. you can have whatever protein shake you want. i am chris cuomo. welcome to prime time. republican sabotage is afoot in the house. we have a member of congress holding up the disaster bill. he wants to tell us why he is doing the right thing in his opinion and we will test the case. on the democratic side, what's the bigger risk to joe biden?

the president's tweets or his position on the '94 crime bill. congressional vet, majority whip, jim clyburn has a stern message for presidential contenders on this issue and you need to hear it. >> how many are going to die this year trying to clime everest? we have new information on the state of the fatal logjam. what do you say? let's get after it. all right, so here's the latest. congressman tom massey from kentucky has become the second republican this week to hold up $ $19 billion in disaster relief monies. his fellow republican lead the way on friday. now congressman roy says he has

good reason to stop the bill. even if it delays needed funding to people in his home state of texas. congressman roy, welcome back to primetime. good to have you here to make the case. let me ask you, over the memorial day weekend what did you tell your constituents that need this money? >> thanks for having me on and thanks for focussing on this important issue. speaker pelosi adjourned for ten days and everybody was out of town and i'm heading to the airport to come home to texas and what i hear was that the speaker was inclined to bring forward a bill that would spend $19 billion unpaid-for, without any head nod to the disaster we've got going on at our southern border and she was going to do so by unanimous consent. that means she wasn't going to have a vote and i don't know about you but the american people were working last friday but the house of representatives wasn't in washington. she was going to have a bill go by consent and i believe if you're going to spend $19 billion of taxpayer money, we should vote on it. the people's house have a responsibility to do our job. >> i got you. >> i left the airport and went back and stood there and i showed up on friday and i objected. now, look, i've got a lot of understanding of how much this means to people in florida and

georgia and puerto rico, texas, and how important it is. but you know what? the speaker has had five months to get this right. these are disasters that have been going on or occurred 18 months ago. we should do our job in the house, vote on it and have an actual debate. the people are tired of business as usual in washington. >> you unpacked three basic reasons. let's go through them one by one. one you said not a debate. she was doing this by unanimous consent. the nod is that there isn't going to be consensus on this. now, looking at the legislative history here, this is not new, this bill. you agreed on a set of monies and a set of principles. it went over to the senate. they were supposedly going to like it. the president didn't like the puerto rico money and then the stuff that you did like, the president got past the puerto rico part and the senate sent it back to you so in essence this

is what you already said yes to. why say no now? >> well, first of all, you'll know and i think you have looked at the record, 150 odd republicans voiced objection. but the bill went to the senate. it came back, none of us had seen it. we didn't know what was in it. weg knew it had $200, $300 more than what it had on the first. and we had to pass it by consent. that's not what the american people want. >> the white house had already signed off. >> sure, the white house's view is they wanted to try and get the kind of relief they wanted in place, which i totally get in georgia, florida, puerto rico. there are many things that we wanted to have a discussion about and debate including by the way the fact we've got a border supplemental being ignored by the speaker.

and we don't -- >> that's point two. he had said, look, i like this disaster bill for a number of reasons. one of them is i think this is how we're going to deal with the emergency on the border. chip roy and i have talked about this on this show before. it's a constant concern for us here on "cuomo primetime" and for good reason. then they took that away. they wanted a clean bill as they call it. you stand up as a matter of principle. i'm good with that. although, chip, if you're going to create the stand why don't you create more energy about getting help? clyburn makes a good case, says you guys can't agree on anything. compromise is seen as capitulation, like you're giving your head. you guys can't agree that will help stop these kids being held in places that are going to get them sick, held in places for too long. why not? >> i think you should ask that question of democratic colleagues who refuse to have a

debate. speak speaker pelosi should have gotten the bill over thursday, debated it thursday night, debated friday. she should have put forward -- >> but that supplemental is filled with things that have nothing to do with the emergency. the asylum rules, reunification, all that stuff, have the debate. but you guys can't handle all of it all at once. you can't even get these kids out of harms way. >> that chris, $4.4 billion supplement, the director of omb vote setup as a letter requested to hill, let's have a debate on that. let's debate it along with this disaster supplement. >> too much time. too much time. deal with the kids right now, chip. you go they're dying. >> fine, well we can have that debate about the beds that are needed to house the kids. let's have the debate about the beds needed to deal with families, fentanyl coming across

the border -- >> it's too much time. it's an emergency. it's like there's a hurricane coming and you want to have a debate about preparedness for the next season. >> the crisis right now, chris, is the flow across the border. if you don't sfatop the flow th crisis is going to continue -- >> the crisis right now is the flow to the border. this isn't about drug mules or gang members or ms-13, but about kids and the people coming with them. that's the crisis they can't handle the flow of. >> but why are the kids coming across? because the kids are being used by the cartels -- >> but the numbers have that as nowhere near a significant percentage in it terms of the number of legit economic and other different types of emergency desperation sending them to run. i don't think we have to make it sound like it's all bogus. it's real need that's there. there are some people who are abusing the system as always,

but i don't think you should write that off as that, chip. >> you know as well as i do -- a report came out a month ago saying the cartels are making $2 billion moving people across not even talking about the narcotics and they're abusing our asylum laws to do it. so we've got to actually address the issue at the border and not have a band-aid put it on at hhs to house the kids. we need to beds. we need to deal with the families, but if you don't fix the asylum process -- >> but why can't you do the beds first? if these were our kids, and i'm obviously drawing a distinction as a point of emphasis. if these were kids from texas, we would have gotten the beds right away. we would have made sure they were safe right away and well cared for right away and then dealt with -- >> chris, hold on a second. we had an amendment on the floor two weeks ago or last week where we offered $2.8 billion for those beds and speaker pelosi voted it down. >> my understanding was the 2.8

wasn't just beds. >> the $2.8 billion was the hhs number that was important for the beds for the kids. not the 4.4 -- >> that's a different number. >> which might be more important to stop the flow. that's what we need to do, stop the flow. >> we're getting into this policy season, the idea this isn't paid for, this bill, amen to you on that. you guys should make sure everything you did is pay for. you did not do that with the tax bill, though. the president calls it rocket fuel. i think it's low octane at best if you look at the numbers that came out of the congressional report from a nonpartisan point. you did want pay for that one, so why was it okay to not pay there but this $19 billion has to be paid for? i believe a >> if you want to have a debate about how much income we have, we've got a strong amount of comecome coming in as a result of the economy.

i think it's causing strong economic growth. i think the regulatory requirement is creating strong economic growth. i think that's imperative. >> but you know the deficit is huge because the cuts weren't paid for and this report says it's less than 5% than was needed to offset the cost. >> look what happened in the '80s and '90s, right, we had strong economic growth from lower taxes that led to unprecedented economic growth and then americans came in with limited spending and bill clinton to his credit went along with that, and by 2,000 we had a balanced budget. but today we can't even get any of our democrat colleague to sit down at the table and have a conversation about spending restraint. look, chris, i'll be happy to sit at the table with any of my democratic colleagues and have a conversation about what should be on the table. >> i'm just saying, look, you're making the right point, chip, you guys have to sit down and

figure things out especially where those kids are involved. i just can't believe we're still watching and waiting and listening to the des appreciation from the men and women keeping us safe and trying to protect -- >> i appreciate you focusing on this. the main point is the speaker should have called us together and we should have debated it. instead of having one minute speeches, we should be on the floor of the house debating the important issues, talking about these kids, talking about the cartels, talking about balancing the budget, having actual pay fors for this kind of spending and talking about how to get a disaster relief through with a vote -- >> then when it moves to the senate you'll have to take it up to with your colleague mitch mcconnell because he won't put these things on the floor, but chip, you're always welcome on this show. >> let's go back to the border. >> unfortunately we're going to have to and it's going to be soon. take care, congressman. joe biden is hitting back at president trump who tried to

weaponinize biden's support for the '94 crime bill. has this president forgotten his ugly role in what led to that bill? jim clyburn was on biden's side back then, democrat from south carolina, and he has a tough message for those attacking the bill now. we have that next. each day justin chooses to walk. at work... and after work. he does it all with dr. scholl's. only dr. scholl's has massaging gel insoles that provide all-day comfort. to keep him feeling more energized. dr. scholl's. born to move. you have 4.3 minutes this time,to yourself.rn. this calls for a taste of cheesecake.

of what led for the calls for harsher punishment in that '94 crime bill. and majority whip james clyburn says he has a message for them. mr. majority whip, thank you very much for joining us on "prime time." >> well, thank you so much for having me. >> so let's start with this controversy from the weekend. first, looking at it broad view, do you believe that the president making the comments he made about the north korean leader in relation to the former vice president joe biden, was it so beyond the pail in your opinion? >> i think it was. one of the first things i learned in politics is how to respect this country, its leadership, irrespective of what party you may be a member of. most especially when you're traveling on foreign soil. we have always learned not to

criticize our president when he is on foreign soil, and certainly the president ought not be tweeting insults back to the united states while he is on foreign soil. >> the substance of the matter, if that was what it was ever about was the '94 crime bill and the idea that joe biden being for it is going to be an albatross. now, '94 was a long time ago. there were a lot of different things going on. you wound up being in favor of this bill because of the sum of its parts, joe biden makes the same argument. is it bad for him? >> well, i don't think so. i think we'd have to look even back beyond 1994. in 1986 and '88 we had some crime bills that were very punitive. one of them had a 100-1 crack cocaine versus powder cocaine, and in 1994 what we were trying

to do is trying to reach some compromise on the piece of legislation that we were for those punitive things and mix some kind of effort to have some prevention bill into the law. however, we lost the election that following november, and when we lost our republican friends defunded so much of the prevention stuff, increased funding for so much of the punitive stuff, the bill got out of whack. the whole law did. and that's what got us to where we are today. nobody gives us credit. we revisited that in 2010. i worked very closely with bobby scott, congressman smith on the republican side, and we finally got that 100-1 reduced to 18-1. so we are making progress, and many more progress with the recent bill passed earlier this

year. >> to the people running for president right now, who are using the '94 bill as the dividing line between how things used to be and need to be now, do you have a word for caution for them, in terms of how they understand what was done in '94? >> well, i wish some people would do a little more research to see exactly how we got to where we are. the fact of the matter is we on the democratic side did a job in putting in the kind of prevention programs, the preventative funding in the bill. and we got to understand on the punitive side the republicans wanted that and we found a compromise that everybody can live with. all of a sudden our republican friends took out the prevention stuff, doubled down on the punitive stuff. and because they were in the majority, they were able to

prevail. and so i would caution my friends getting ready for the next election to be very careful. let's not be too unkind to people who find common ground on things. and remember no matter who's in the majority today they may not be there tomorrow. >> so how does that apply with what we're dealing with right now with the relief bill? to hear from chip roy, look, we didn't get a chance to debate this, there's a lot of stuff in it we don't like. just because it came through the senate doesn't mean its wholly responsible. and by the way, the border which is a nightmare is supposed to be getting attention and it isn't. what's the weakness with that argument? >> well, i think that the weakness is we haven't discussed this disaster bill for a long, long time. we have passed disaster relief in the house. you may recall you passed a very

comprehensive bill, sent it over to the senate, the president said he agreed with it. all of a sudden he got upset, did not want to approve funding for puerto rico, and therefore we lost that battle. i think that my republican colleague is being a bit disingenuous, when he says we have not debated this issue. >> obviously you recognize, mr. whip, what's going on at the border is terrible and being made worse by the inaction from congress and from the white house. i understand the argument that let the disaster bill stand on its own. fine. why isn't there emergency type action on something that is certainly an emergency? >> well, i think that we really need to come together. when you have divided government you've got the majority of democrats in the house, a majority of republicans in the senate and you've got a president who seems not to want

to find common ground. i don't know why compromise has got to be such a bad word. compromise is nothing but a process by which you seek common ground. seeking common ground to me is an honorable thing to do in the legislative process. and for some reason this president seemed to think it's got to be my way or the highway. and some of his friends in the congress seem to be -- adhere to that. but that's not the way you legislate in a democracy. >> mr. whip, thank you very much. appreciate having you on "primetime." appreciate the perspective. god bless and be well. so van jones has been praising this president to do something to reform the criminal justice. so does he think the president is right about joe biden with respect to the '94 bill we were just talking about with clyburn? a great debate with steve cortez next. allergies with sinus congestion and pressure?

this president is throwing punches at joe biden, tweeting, quote, anyone associated with the 1994 crime bill will not have a chance of being elected and that he, this president is responsible for criminal justice reform. sounds like the makings of a great debate. let's bring in van jones and steve cortez. i hope you remember the fallen. van, i don't want to go too deep down the road of what has already been done in this administration. the context is whether the president is right about the '94

crime bill especially with joe biden. your take in. >> before you get into that, regardless i'm happy because for the first time in my adult life and maybe in living memory the president of the united states and a democratic front-runner are arguing who is the best on a criminal justice reform, not who's going to build more prisons, pass dumber laws, longer sentences but who is going to be the best on fixing mass incarceration. president trump is wrong that biden's position is going to make him on nonelectable on the point, but i just want to say everybody, sometimes you've got to take a step back and take yes for an answer from both parties saying we've gone too far with incarceration and both parties want to do better. that's a good thing. >> let's see what happens when the econom changes.

when the economy is doing well you don't have the same kind of crime rates. >> we've had a good economy and kept -- >> this is true. look, but i know '94 very, very well. it was a formative experience in my life, why? because that's when my father mario cuomo lost. three time governor, very popular guy, why? economy went south, he's been there a long time, crime was on the rise. the dominant culture issue at the time was the death penalty. the country was for it. mario cuomo wouldn't shut up being against it. i know the period well. and one of the things that led to it, steve, was an irrational fear of black and brown marauding criminals. we had these things in new york city where people were running around. donald trump was right in the center of it with false accusations against the central park five. he's never apologized, he's never owned that he was wrong,

that he was part of that. he is connected to the '94 bill. he was part of the animus that led to the want for more harsh punishment. how does he win on this? >> chris, first, he wins and i think that's why the president is highlighting this right now is because when it comes to criminal justice reform in recent years, i'm not talking 1994 -- in recent years the conservative occupy the high ground right now. which would surprise a lot of voters if they take a serious look. and not just president trump but also with the governors, republican governors. people like rick perry who was in trump's cabinet, who closed prisons and who said for nonviolent drug offenders instead of incarcerating them let's give them treatment not only because it's better for them and society but it's also better for the taxpayer because it costs an enormous amount to engage in mass incarceration. >> the conservatives have not

led the way on decriminalizing drug use, by the way. the first step back was a good thing, a bipartisan thing. but the idea that conservatives are the ones leading the way and decriminalizing drug use, can't have that. >> no, look who's oclosing prisons in america, there are conservative republican governors, and that is a fact -- >> the last time i checked he's not a conservative republican. >> here's what i want to say on both sides and i think the democrats would be surprised to see you've got mississippi governor brian has moved in a positive direction of reform. i agree with you we've got a lot of republican governors doing well on this. democrats haven't given them credit, don't even know what's happening. what i'll also say trump even though he did great on the legislation, obama did great on the administration. so you've got to have both

parties now to be able to point to good stuff they've done, but also bad stuff they've done. this is constructive debate. if i were biden, though, i would not get sucked into this. biden is making a big mistake to try to relitigate 1994. here's how biden should handle this. he should say, listen, we did the best we could at that time. when i was in the obama administration, the obama administration had good ideas on legislation, didn't get it passed, got stopped by republicans but also good ideas on the administration. our department of justice did really, really well. here's what i would do going forward. the more trump can trick biden into talking about '94 the more biden can talk about what trump wanted to do and why he wants to win, but no matter this is proud moment for our country. wanting to fight over it is a good thing. >> i don't know that's what it is. i get what the first step is,

but i think it's aptly named. it's one step. steve, let me bounce back to you because you ignored the premise of my initial question which was, okay, donald trump has never -- i'm talking about him as a citizen. he wasn't president then obviously back in the late '80s. he's never apologized for it. he thinks they still did it. but he says it. and i don't know why he feels he can have high ground on this. >> chris, i would love to get into all the facts of that night, what happened with the central park five because they're not nearly as exculpatory -- >> they put them in separate rooms -- i read the books on it, i lived it. >> i know the facts very well -- >> no, no. >> you can't just say no -- >> another guy's dna was on the victim. >> i'm not going to let you sit

there lie and smear -- >> that was never in dispute -- chris, i'm not lying. that was never in dispute on trial. the prosecutor said, yes, the actual rapist, the person who did the physical insertion is not here on trial. that was established from the very beginning. you could be convicted of rape even if you were not the one who did the actual raping -- >> this is disgusting on your -- terrible, terrible. >> and then he says the woman is going to have to live with -- now he's using the victim strategy. >> can i talk? >> you can't pervert the facts. but don't say what's not true. go ahead. >> okay, a fact -- a fact is that it was never -- there was never a predicate at all. the prosecutor at the time did not say that the dna, that the semen was from those five. >> they didn't bring it to trial. they didn't introduce dna at the trial. >> the best case scenario -- not

dna, semen. that's why i said something different. dna was not in use at the time. >> it was. it was in the early stages -- >> no, it was not acceptable at that point in a new york court. it was not acceptable yet. here's the best case scenario -- can i talk? >> nope, not on this. >> so i'm not allowed -- because the facts of the case -- >> they're out of prison right now because they were being railroaded -- >> all right, let's end it there. let's end it there. we can talk about the '94 bill, but until you guys decide to have donald trump own what he said -- listen, yes they were railroaded, you know it, you're protecting the president. you're doing it on the backs of kids. they got paid $41 million for a reason. this is why.

>> i know them. i know them cold. >> you don't know them cold. $41 millio they paid those kids. donald trump slandered them then and he knows it and lives it to this day. he gets no high ground on the '94 crime bill when he was part of the animus that led up to it. gentlemen, thanks for making your cases as always. you've seen what's happening atop -- not on this show. listen, you've got to get the facts right. go back and take a look. i'm laughing because it's ridiculous what was being suggested. now, what's happened at the top of mt. everest? things that didn't need to happen. these people were killed by congestion, okay? climbers can't get around one another because there's two many of them trying to scale it at the same time in a small window. this is not what the metaphor of climbing the mountain was supposed to be about. this is not what the adventure

well, thank god it's almost over upon everest. the dozens who are left in the base camp are not going to attempt to ascend what was one of the deadliest seasons every. 11 people killed. this was different. scores ofbars clamoring up a single route creating a fatal traffic jam, all right, now this is the photo that everybody was talking about. look at this. i mean, are you kidding me? now, look this is not an easy thing to ascend, obviously. and remember you're doing this all at great development physically because you don't have the oxygen. but come on. 250 to 300 people, conditions that change in a matter of minutes just to summit. on everest every minute is crucial. it doesn't look to scale like a big deal, but come on, it's 12,000 feet. you're starting off at something that's going to be higher than anybody else is ever going it be on unless it's on an airplane.

you don't want to be in a jam in a place called the death zone. it's start in a base camp. you have all these people coming around. they're trying to acclimatize here before they make the trek. 18,000 feet, 50% of oxygen at sea level. it's all about thin air and getting the buddy used to it. what you can't control are the conditions. now you're not at your best. you've got freezing temperatures, avalanches, blizzards. since 1922 the year that climbers have started recording the deaths, you had more than 200, okay? and why? well, most of them die up on the peak. that makes sense. their bodies are frozen, it's too dangerous and too expensive a task to retrieve them frankly. now most die in what i said is called the death zone, there's the least oxygen, we're not supposed to be there. the body's cells literally start

to die, your judgment is impaired, the risk of heart attack, stroke increases dramatically, all right? so what we've seen in the past is that's what's going to take you out. but now we have a new factor. 11 people are dead. you know, god bless them, the best to their families and those who love them, but this didn't need to happen. this is about overcrowding in that zone. all right, the latest fatality just yesterday was an american, 62 years old, christopher john and a 64-year-old austrian man also died. they died hours after summiting. this is not unusual to die on the way back down. they made it to the 29,000 feet. that's like 20 empire state buildings that they climbed, 33% oxygen. that means you're going up a big flight of stairs and you're getting one out of every three

breaths. just think about the deprivation. why on a way down? several factors. you have altitude sickness. like i said the cells start to change, you're not supposed to be there, sickness from prolonged exposure. bad whether, small window to make it back down. all these things in life, the metaphor, scared money never wins, you've got to get to the top. coming back down sometimes you're stuck. you're coming through a single route in nepal. inexperienced climbers holding up the lines, the nepal government specifically is getting scrutiny because they failed to akier proof of climbing experience for those they issue permits to. one more title this all raises for us, what is it that fuels our need to test our limits no matter the risk? why climb the mountain? what is the real test? let's get into that with d. lemon next now that we've got the facts and situation under control. ♪

be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver,

about. facing the challenge. but isn't there a balance being missed here in what we see in everest? there's no small distance between testing limits and setting yourself up for trouble. what is happening on everest warrants some straight talk. let's bring in d. lemon. all respect and love for the people who make the trek, and really remember those who are gone, and my condolences to their families. but when you look at that picture and understand what's going on, you do have to speak truth about what is it worth to get this achievement. you know, what will you go through to get what this is, what's your take? >> well, i'm going to speak to whitey hartman tonight on my show who took one of these pictures and who just summited the mountain and is down now. and he has really a very personal story about what it's like to come across dead bodies and people who have lost

consciousness, and he actually said the exact quote you said because the mountain is there, and it represents the highest of what man can achieve and maybe the toughest. and quite frankly, i think most regular folks will just ask you why you do it and so i'll save that coming up. i think it's tough. before you can get the question out for me, if you said to me, don, would you like to climb mount whatever, everest or whatever, it would be no. i just don't. i think there are some things that humans should not do, and, you know, but people do it and more power to them. it's not for me. >> very often it's life changing for people, and it gives them a sense of themselves they didn't have. it could be empowering and motivating for the rest of their lives. i totally get it, i have friends who do it. i am a risk taker. i don't want to be called out as a hypocrite. i do a lot of things that are risky. i try to calculate the risk.

sometimes to works out. sometimes it doesn't. you have to think about what happens if it goes wrong? that's what i say to my son mario. he's a huge daredevil. >> i shame doing double jumps in the pool this weekend. >> i'll show you pictures. i was washing the boat and i turned around. he was standing on a piling this wide 25 feet up in the air and he's doing the "karate kid" thing and then closing his eyes and doing the yoga thing. >> do you remember the time he jumped off the boat? >> oh, yeah. >> you were going, what, 30 miles an hour? >> 30 miles an hour, he wanted to see how much he would skip. he's an adrenaline guy, but it does make you think, who is waiting for you at home? what is home about? what will be lost? what are you risking? i think those are real questions, too. it's not just about climbing the mountain. >> i do risky things like pushing you and guests on

television and getting in trouble. >> that's risky enough these days. >> but i'm not going to do that. hey, listen, i got to tell you, bill weld, who is former massachusetts governor, says trump prefers an aryan nation. i was at the pulitzer prizes today at columbia university. there was a surprise guest in honor aretha franklin. you want to hear her singing "amazing grace." >> picking ticks off my dogs. i'll see you in a little bit. all right. why is this man smiling? not yet. wait for it. wait for it. wait for it. that's as close as you get. why? because he knows what he's going to do there is another scotus vacancy even in the election year. merrick garland who? so many are outraged about what

mitch mcconnell said. i want you to hear it and then tackle it. next

but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? and relief from symptoms caused feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. feel the clarity. and live claritin clear.

we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not.

first fact in the argument. senator majority leader mitch mcconnell refusing to put up merrick garland for a scotus vacancy. >> all we're doing, chris, is following a longstanding tradition on not filling vacancies on the supreme court in the middle of a presidential election year. >> would he do the same thing if the president were in his party? next fact. he said this today. >> if i supreme court justice was to die next year, what would you do? >> i would fill it. >> oh, the hypocrisy. shame on mcconnell. poster child for perfity. all things wrong with politics. except he isn't the problem, is he? he's a symptom, like a fever rash or clammy hands or gas. i now argue the reality, the root cause. elections have consequences.

don't hear it in a judgy take your punishment kind of way. you control all of it. with mcconnell, what deals are made, they are all voted in or out these people and they act out of fear than good conscience. you just saw it. witness the odd evolution of senator lindsey graham for whatever it is. too many put emphasis on the players and not the reality of who controls the game. we all hear it and most say it. votes, they're marginalized, they don't really count, it's all about the money, the elites, the insiders, the media, the whatever. then you get trump. while one could reasonably argue that this president is for what many say he's against, it's not enough to prevail over people in the polls in the places that mattered. that's why i argue it is a dangerous mistake to see this

president as the root of your troubles. he is a reflection of what we have let our system become. and in an odd twist, people saw things they wanted to change, things they hate. and they saw this president not as a cure but almost like a virus inserted into the corpus of politics to set about making it sick as a way of i guess hopefully sweating itself out of the fever of favoritism they reject. you're right to attack the players. decency is dead. yes, compromise is seen as capitulation. if you were to look and say, i never want to see one of these guys do this again. i hate this. if you feel like that and you're in kentucky, there will never be another mitch mcconnell moment like this if he gets voted out. these people are only as bad as

you allow them to be. elections do have consequences. remember your power, people. remember it. remember to use it. this will be my clarion call to you during this election. it's all about you. you get what you want in a democracy. that's why mitch mcconnell is able to play the game, because he is kept a player in it. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with the one and only d. lemon starts now. >> only what you're allowing them to be. you're so right, but you know what, the folks who are sitting at home and just allowing it to happen, who say it's okay and people have trump derangement syndrome if they actually call out things that the president does or things in the congress, people in the congress do or in the senate, you're going to get your comeuppance when there is a
