tv Erin Burnett Out Front CNN June 3, 2019 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
4:00 pm
information has come to light. it's not clear yet if any of this will affect his senate confirmation. >> we shall see. great reporting, drew. thanks very much. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. erin burnett out front starts right now. out front next, an audience of one. jared kushner's disastrous interview may have one person happy, his father-in-law. plus a major shift on impeaching trump, a top democrat change his tune. and will trump get the red carpet from the queen of england as he's bracing for protests tomorrow? let's go out front. out front tonight an audience of one. jared kushner pthe president's most trusted advisor saying exactly what his father-in-law wants to hear, breaking his silence in an extraordinarily rare interview. in which in his interview time and again could not answer the
4:01 pm
most basic questions. take for example, this. >> was birtherism racist? >> look, i wasn't really involved in that. >> i know you weren't. was it racist? >> like i said i wasn't involved in that. >> i know you weren't. was it racist? >> look, i know who the president is, and i've not seen anything in him that is racist. so again i was not involved in that. >> do you wish he didn't do that? >> like i said i was not involved in that. that was a long time ago. >> as for the long time ago kushner's of course was trump's son-in-law during the entire birther embroil and it was not until the eve of the election itself president trump finally backed off the racist conspiracy theory. this was in september 2016. >> president barack obama was born in the united states, period. >> but kushner's performance
4:02 pm
didn't stop there. here is jared kushner on the infamous 2016 trump tower meeting. >> on june 8, 2016, you were sent an e-mail with an offer of help for the trump campaign from the russian government. >> i'm sorry? which e-mail are you talking about? >> okay, that's absurd, of course. but it is not as shocking as this. kushner would not say whether he will inform the fbi about another e-mail like that, future interference efforts by the russians. >> would you call the fbi if that happened again? >> i don't know. it's hard to do hypotheticals. >> this is incredible. the president's son-in-law and top advisor unwilling to say he would call the fbi if it happened again, if russia or any other government offered to help his campaign again. it is shocking and it sure isn't a hypothetical that trump's fbi director had any trouble answering under oath to congress. >> my view is that if any public official or member of any
4:03 pm
campaign is contacted by any nation state or anybody acting on behalf of a nation state about influencing or interfering with our election, then that's something that the fbi would want to know about. >> said with a smirk, right? i mean that says it all. it's not a question. and the kushner interview, though, kept going. here's jared kushner on whether the saudi crown prince is responsible for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. >> has unanimously said that mohammed bin salman ordered it. the cia briefed members of the senate who voted that way. i don't know what the administration's waiting for in terms of accountability. >> i believe that there's a report that they're working on. they've been doing an investigation, and when they have the facts of the investigation then it'll be up to the president to make a determination on what he wants to do. >> a report, the facts -- just a quick reminder here, the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered khashoggi's death which should be enough for the
4:04 pm
special advisor to the president of the united states, but kushner decided to parrot his father-in-law instead of the cia. >> i hate the crime. i hate what's done. i hate the cover-up. and i will tell youthis, the crown prince hates it more than i do. and they have vehemently denied it. >> jared kushner's not just a low level employee, just a family member. he is in charge of committee peace, mexico, china, veterans care, the opioid crisis, prison reform. seriously that is joke for any person. and this person has the job he has for one reason. here he is. >> in my job it's not about what i believe. it's about what the president wants to push for. >> it's not about what i believe. it's about what trump wants. not about experience, not about a résume, and that is why jared kushner sits where he sits.
4:05 pm
abbey philip is out front tonight in london with the president. >> reporter: as everyone in the white house, all the senior officials are here sitting down at a state dinner earlier tonight. sources are telling me the president has not been focused on this. he's been focused on the state dinner, on the feuds. he's been brewing with several officials here back in london and aides generally down-played the outrage over kushner's interview in part because there is a really important view in this white house that the president was more than happy to have jared kushner refuse to criticize him repeatedly in this interview with axios. you know, muttple sources said it's uncliekly that the president has actually even seen much of this interview even as we are playing it here tonight and it's being broadcast all over the internet. the president -- this is an interview it was conducted several weeks ago that white house officials knew was happening. they knew generally the contents
4:06 pm
of what was being said in the sit down interview that lasted multiple sessions with axios. and ultimately president trump has just not been focused on it. in fact when reporters sunday night asked him about the khashoggi element of this interview, the president seemed surprised that jamal khashoggi was even in the news again. so a lot of officials are generally saying tonight that this is not nothing that even while a lot of people might be outraged about it, the idea for example that jared kushner would not condemn birtherism, president trump on the other hand isn't focused on it, and in fact would have been happier that jared kushner didn't go any further than he did by simply not answering the question, he refused to criticize president trump. and in this white house that is one of the highest currencies you can have with the president, you hold the line and don't hold onto that criticism as well. >> thank you very much live from london. and out front now gloria borger,
4:07 pm
worked with jared kushner for two years, and april ryan, white house correspondent for america urban radio networks. david, you've worked with him, written in-depth about him. what wept through your mind as you watched this interview? >> just somebody completely out of his depth. having a job he's completely unprepared for. he seemed completely unprepared for this interview and unable to answer even the most basic questions. >> that part was shocking. april, you're at the white house almost every day. you know how rare it is to hear from kushner. it isn't like the guy does a ton of interviews. the guy doesn't do any interviews. why would he ever agree to do something like this? >> it's interesting you say that, aaron, because jared kushner and i have talked one-on-one several times and i've asked him for interviews i i remember him telling me, you know, i have to give the first interview on prison reform to van jones because van jones has
4:08 pm
taken a lot of heat for trying to push this bipartisan issue through. so for this, the optics were horrible for jared kushner. the white house wants everything to be a win when it comes to the look, the image, the optics of it. but when he sits down for an intervie interview, he wanted to paint his father-in-law, the president of the united states in a great light. even though it did not look good, this president, again, abby, was absolutely right. he feels he did a great job because he showed his novelty. he's like that mythical unicorn you don't hear from. he spoke, the optics weren't great but the president still thinks it's a win. >> gloria, i find it shocking sometimes silence can give you the perception of strength, right? this interview did not do that because he spoke. he didn't answer a lot of questions posed to him, very basic questions. here's another quick sense for people. >> i'm not going to go into any
4:09 pm
of my discussions with the cia and i'm not going to go into any discussions i've had with foreign leaders. i was not the person who was elected. in my job it's not about what i believe. it's about what the president wants to push for. >> i mean, gloria, why give an interview if you are not going to answer a single question, essentially? >> i think that's a really good question. i'm not sure why jared kushner did this, and he didn't seem to have any particular message that he wanted to get across. a lot of times white house officials when they have something they really want to tout, i mean he's talking about middle east peace, for example, he was very vague on that. they will sit down for an interview because they have something they actually want to say. and in this interview he just seemed to me to be evasive on everything particularly on the birther issue that you showed, which should have been pretty easy except he didn't want to displease the president. but by saying four times by my
4:10 pm
count i wasn't involved in that, made it look worse because that wasn't the question. the question wasn't weather you were involved with what the president said. the question is whether you thought what the president said was appropriate or outrageous or just fine. and he wouldn't even go there because, i think, as abbey was saying that, you know, the job when you work in the white house is to make the president happy. >> so, april, i want to jump to this because it is baffling that he would think that that wouldn't come up, right? and we played it a moment ago obviously, but then we asked patrick leahy about this today, obviously a very senior senator. and here was his comment about that question. >> i would have no trouble answering questions. those who pursued the birther controversy especially the
4:11 pm
leaders of it like donald trump, that had to be racist and wrong. >> april? >> it was most definitely racist and wrong. and jared kushner, we understand why he did not say that. one, that's his father-in-law. he wants to be able to go back home and have a good day or a good evening with the president's daughter, his wife. but at the end of the day also jared kushner strategically understands that he needed black people, a large portion of black people to help push through -- i'm going back again to the issue of prison reform -- that's a hard issue for him because of his dad. they want to make sure that they leave it on the table with a question instead of coming out, yes, it was racist. not just birtherism but let's go to the central park five, all
4:12 pm
the housing applications on people of color. now as president, as a man thinkith so is he, as a man doeth so is he. >> why would you invite a moment like that? but gloria mentioned middle east peace, can and i want to ask you about that because this is actually -- because he's in charge of prison reform and government reform and also in charge of peace in the middle east and here he is on that. >> i've spoken to a lot of people from the region, the israeli side, who have been involved this in the past -- >> it seems many gulf people. have you really spoken to many palestinians? >> not a lot of people know who i've been talking to and about. and that protects people.
4:13 pm
the palestinian people do live under an authoritarian regime today. >> due you understand why the palestinians don't trust you? >> look, i'm not here to be trusted. i'm here to -- >> well, you are, frankly. >> what's happening there? >> well, i'm not here to be trusted that's like the line i'm not here to make any friends from reality tv or something. putting jared kushner in charge of middle east peace, he obviously he's an agenda on this. he can't be an honest broker and he made clear in that interview is he really going around the streets and talking to ordinary palestinians, where is he getting his information from? >> not only does he not have a point of view, he lacks experience. >> sure, and this is not to say someone who lacks experience can't be brilliant, terrific, a quick learner and all the rest of it. but this is not the case here. you know, this is nepotism.
4:14 pm
he wouldn't be in this job if it weren't for nepotism, and this is why you have nepotism laws. and, you know, i give jared kushner for example on prison reform you talked to our colleague jan jones who gives him great kudos on how he worked with van on prison reform. something he knew an awful lot about, learned an awful lot more about and managed to get bipartisan support for. but i think he doesn't do himself any good when he refuses to answer these basic questions, for example, on the birtherism issue. it just doesn't ring true from him, and we know why he's not -- we know why he's not saying anything. >> all right, thank you all very much. and next, more republicans tonight slamming president trump for tariffs. but will that stop him. plus what nancy pelosi just

4:19 pm
senator cory guardnen calling t the tariffs a bad idea, plain and simple. it comes while trump taunted mexican officials. the president tweeted, quote as a sign of good faith mexico should immediately stop the flow of drugs of people into our country and southern border. they could do it if they want. austin, okay, so the president is taunting mexico, right? there's talks supposedly going on here in the u.s. he throws that bomb from london. so could it work? could it work to scare mexico and trump get what he wants? >> i don't think so. i mean if one got the sense he was doing this, he started it by tweet before he left for his trip. you got the sense he was doing
4:20 pm
this to try to distract from other news, whether it was the mueller press conference or what have you. two-thirds of the imports from mexico are parts and supplies to u.s. manufacturing. this would be a direct tax on u.s. manufacturers. that's why you've seen normally republican groups including the senators you mentioned but u.s. businesses saying to the president, wait, wait, wait, don't do this. this will be the biggest tax increase on the american people in the last 30 years. and i don't think that that will work. if you look at the number of people coming here from mexico illegally the number of undocumented immigrants has fallen over the last three years, so this is a made up crisis. >> okay, so, mark, trump is specifically threatening up to 25% tariffs on goods from mexico, right, if they don't stop this full-scale immediately. now, deutsche bank put that into
4:21 pm
english. two thirds of the goods from mexico are manufactured parts. so deutsche bank says this is going to add to the average car in america if you're buying a car $1,300. is the president aware of that, and is he really willing to do that to the american people? >> i think we have to look at this two fold. number one, 100,000 people at this very moment at any given moment are transitioning up from central america, breaking the law and illegally entering mexico and then coming up 1,000 miles to illegally enter our country. so the president is absolutely correct when he says mexico can and should do something about it. when it comes to the economic side of it, that math may be good on the surface of it, but the doesn't get to basic economics, which means those suppliers, those companies down there in mexico, if these tariffs take effect, they will lower prices, they will reduce profits. they will make adjustments and companies will make adjustments to their supply chains to lower the prices. and when you look, we have so many economists out there last
4:22 pm
time when we were talking about china that were saying this is going to add to consumer prices, americans are going to pay for this and inflation is under control. so the price is not going up. >> even ceos that i know think that maybe when it comes to china this could be a smart move, they're all saying oh, the minute i get to 25% tariff i just put it on the price. they're all saying that. >> that's also why we're talking -- the president says we're talking 5% on june 10th, and that gives mexico two weeks. and guess what, within a matter of days mexican officials are now in the united states talking to the administration, and they are suddenly talking about what can we do to deal with this crisis so the tariffs do not go into effect in the first place. >> austin? okay, but, the government of mexico is not sending people to the united states. people on their own are coming to the united states to escape when their economies go bad.
4:23 pm
if we do something to try to blow up mexico's economy it's going to cause more people to try to come to the united states, not fewer. so i think this is just -- this is a mix of policy in which we're going to tax the american people, harm the farmers, harm the manufacturers and consumers here in an effort to try to do something that's backfiring. >> i mean, mark, what i'm curious about you say he doesn't want to put the tariffs on. i know he doesn't want to, but if they don't stop immigration in the next few weeks like you said, which they're not going to do, then he has to back off, right, and he's going to be outed as a bluffer, and in fact he's done this before. here he is. >> mexico is going to have to do something, otherwise i'm closing the border. i'll just close the border. >> north korea best not make anymore threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never
4:24 pm
seen. every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. >> borders still open, people were not sued, fire and fury has not happened. what i'm getting at, mark, is if you keep bluffing do people no longer believe your bluff, and then all of a sudden he stop putting the tariff on? >> but if you take a look at the results of what happened especially in those first two instances you did see mexico deal in a very short-term way with the migrant caravan that was coming up at the time when the president made that threat. you also saw north korea stop its nuclear testing. you saw them stop the launching of long-range and medium range ballistic missiles. >> they're doing all sorts of stuff now. >> they're launching some short range missiles and we've got to get them back to the table. but the long-term threat to the
4:25 pm
united states was erased -- >> i don't think anyone can say the long-term threat from north korea has been erased. >> they have not tested nuclear weapons, have not launched long-range missiles or ballistic missiles since they made that deal with the president. >> they just killed the guy that tried to make a deal with them. next, nancy pelosi behind closed doors talking impeachment. and plus president trump amid a public feud but still taking a pompous stance. >> thank you for your warm welcome, for this beautiful weather. or pinacle, to tap into your organization in the office, on the go, or in the stop-and-go. pnc - make today the day. calyou're gonna love this.rs. new coppertone sport clear.

4:30 pm
the fifth ranking democrat in the house asked about impeachment proceedings said, quote, i'm of the view those hearings should commence immediately. what you call those hearings is a decision that will multilet ebe made by chairman nadler and speaker pulosely. sunlen, obviously that's a big shift coming from congressman jeffries and now you're hearing about a closed door meeting with speaker pelosi with leadership. what happened in that room. >> reporter: speaker pelosi behind closed doors reiterating she's opposed to opening up impeachment proceedings. now, this is something he's publicly stated in the past, but the fact she's having to renew that stated position again behind closed doors in front of the members of her leadership team certainly gives you an indication where she is at the moment, what she's facing up here on capitol hill by members of her own party. by cnn's count now 50 house democrats believe impeachment proceedings should be opened up.
4:31 pm
and there's a notable statement over the weekend from jim clyburn. he told cnn's jake tapper he believes at some point president trump is indeed going to face impeachment proceedings. and osta few minutes ago on capitol hill pelosi really brushing that comment aside saying, look, that's his point of view. her directive to the caucus has been and clearly will remain for the moment to be the same, to stay focused on the investigations. don't go down the path of impeachment yet. very clear that toomorrow will e a very important day for her. the entire house democratic caucus will be meeting. this is their typical tuesday morning meeting, but certainly in the wake of robert mueller speaking out publicly last week this conversation is going to be swirling. >> i want to go to a member of the house judiciary committee, cochair of the progressive congressional caucus, and i appreciate your time,
4:32 pm
congresswoman. i know you support opening an imeti impeachment inquiry, but we're now finding out behind closed doors the speaker still says she's opposed. what do you say to her? >> well, look, i think the big point here are democrats are united for our for the people agenda and united on holding the president accountable. there's a different opinion by some of the caucus on how best to do that. you're going to see this contempt vote for others, see them come to the floor. we just announced on monday we will have a part two with some very powerful prosecutors there. many of us on the judiciary committee who have been in the details and in the weeds of this day and in and day out for the last six months, we understand exactly what's at stake, and we have more information than some of the other caucus members. it may take us a while, but i really do believe we need to have these hearings. i believe we should call them a
4:33 pm
formal impeachment inquiry, and we need to make sure we get the facts. >> do you think the speaker is moving at all in your direction? in some level it's a thorny problem for her, but do you think she's moving at all? do you still have confidence in her making the ultimate decision, which she does? >> i do have confidence in her. she's speaker of the whole caucus. she's got to get everybody to the same place. and we don't have that role. we are in judiciary, and i think really this president is the one who controls what happens, because as he continues to just evade, obstruct, ongoing obstruction of justice, stopping witnesses from coming, ignoring legally authorized subpoenas, that is where you see us having to ramp up and say nobody is above the law, not even the president of the united states. that's what makes us a democracy. >> now, you know, back in the nixon days people point to the polls that shows less than 20% of americans supported impeachment before formal impeachment hearings. and then when you got those
4:34 pm
proceedings people tuned in, listened. obviously that changed dramatically. right now 41% of americans support impeachment which is way more than back then. but what i take away is actually 33% of americans wanted to impeach obama at this point in this presidency. it just seems to be a more partisan time. are you concerned about the public support numbers? >> what's i'm really concerned about is protecting our constitution. that is what we were sworn to do. that's what we go to bed at night and wake up in the morning thinking about. and for me you can't compare what has happened to this president, what's in the special counsel mueller's report, the ten potential charges of obstruction of justice, the interference by russians into our elections and the absolute refusal of this president to do anything about it because he and his campaign team were deeply integrally involved.
4:35 pm
all of that really pale in comparison. and i think at some point we are here in office because we were elected by people to lead, and we've got to lead. we've got to help americans understand what is in the mueller report and lay it out for people. make sure we have to the facts we need ourselves and then follow them to their conclusion. because in the end much more important than any specific election or result is do we have a democracy where there are three coequal branches of government holding accountable everybody and not allowing us to have a king instead of a president. >> all right, congresswoman, thanks very much for your time. >> thank you. and next the u.k. rolls out the red carpet for president trump. but they welcome may be short-lived. plus the heroes from the virginia beach shooting including one man who lost his life but saved others. >> he's my savior, my hero. this is not a bed...
