tv   Cuomo Prime Time  CNN  June 4, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT

6:00 pm
years. manafort would meanwhile hardly be the first high profile inmate. others include david berkowitz. and hardly a list of names and randy kay cnn new york. >> we'll hand it over to chris for cuomo primetime. >> 12 were murdered friday and already lawmakers are taking sides and they haven't even started the discussion. senator corey booker wants to be your leader and he knows what to do about gun violence. what are his ideas and how can he get something done? and are tariffs on mexico, one reckless move too many for gopers? a meeting with senators was
6:01 pm
called a cluster beep and a lot of noise in the house but will the party really go against potus. clay higgins is back on primetime. he has a take from inside the game. speaker pelosi has her own fires to put out. the more they block congress the more her members say it is time to drop the hammer and a special closing argument, cuomo primetime celebrates it's first year. thank you, what do you say? let's get after it. >> our president is lying and tweeting and it seems a number of gop ers are tired of it. one gop senate aid described the meeting between white house officials and republican senators about these mexican tariffs as a cluster beep.
6:02 pm
>> there's not much support for tariffs, that's for sure. >> will you try to block the tariffs? we're hoping that doesn't happen. >> in london the president tried to keep calm and you got it, carry on. >> what do you think of republicans that think they might take action to block you imposing the tariffs? >> i don't think they'll do that. if they did it's foolish. there's nothing more important than boarders. i've had tremendous republican support. >> accept attacking bete middler in the middle of the night. conservatives like ted cruise are worried. there's talk of a disapproval resolution from republicans. the president may have hit his own wall as he tries to put the squeeze on mexico. gop congressman clay higgins sits on the homeland security committee. good to have you back on primetime, sir. >> good to be with you. >> let's start big and get to the small issues of politics.
6:03 pm
tariffs on mexico as a way of getting better results on immigration. yes or no? >> perhaps to get it passed. border security is of primary importance. it's what the president is focused on. nobody wants tariffs but the president uses them as leverage very well. we'll see some results and perhaps my colleagues on the fence will move toward the side of protecting america. >> why do the tariffs in your opinion work well? i guess you're referring to china. we haven't seen any results that those would be good. we just had the farmers and here the concern is that it may derail the new agreement. where's the upside. >> there's a certain amount of poker going on. i have confidence that it is including the secretary of state
6:04 pm
meeting tomorrow. and be embraced in some way not in a bipartisan manner and not at the level of open borders and lax security of some of my colleagues across the aisle. something that's been perplexing us on the show. help me with this. the right and the left, every time i say to them pass an emergency bill, get dhs the accommodations they need. your committee, they're begging for help to house and treat these kids. they're asking for so much and they don't want to help the kids. nothing gets done. why no emergency measure? >> there's a lot of posturing
6:05 pm
going on in this town as you're familiar with and it's unfortunate and the american citizen suffers. the actual physical security of our border is reflective of our commitment to maintain a sovereignty of our nation and the security is layered. there's no one single answer. this is why we need 21st century technology and enhanced physical barriers to delay or deter that physical crossing and enhanced capacity to respond and to process the children of god that do cross over that have a certain amount of rights and they should be given right to due process regarding the criminal act that they're accused of and my friends down there, they have been begging for two years.
6:06 pm
>> i had people on the left say to me they have to find out why these kids are dying. if they come out i'll change my postu rerks but this isn't about guards kicking people in the ribs until they don't breathe anymore. this is about begging for help with resources and not getting it. how many do you think have to do before people in congress will come together? what do you think the number is? what do you think? 20? >> one would hope, none, my friend. >> you already have seven and nothing has happened. >> well, i wouldn't say nothing has happened. i'd say no results have been seen. we have an incredible amount of obstructionism happening here. you know this to be true. now one-on-one we can agree on a path forward to properly and in a humanitarian way care for the children of god that are illegally crossing our borders while at the same time secure
6:07 pm
our border and pitch loopholes in the law to stop the magnets but as a party, we find ourselves. let me not be judgmental here. i like you. we have variances, do we not? but both parties are overpostured for 2020. >> the only party for me is on friday night after the show. but let me get your take on this as former law enforcement. so parkland happens. the former deputy sheriff is outside. he is now charged with multiple counts in connection with not going in and doing something. they all lead back to he didn't do what he was supposed to do. his defense is i thought the shots were coming from outside and not inside. do you think charging the officer is the right move? >> i've never seen charges like this. however his actions were contrary to everything that i
6:08 pm
experienced. i was a swat cop for 12 years and ever since columbine the old training ended where perimeter officers would stand by and wait. if you're not sure where the shots are coming from, this is a momentary decision but if you're guarding the school and the children and the staff are inside, that's where you go. because you called for back up and you know that other units are in route. everybody is coming from the outside. i think to wait 2 or 3 seconds is 2 or 3 seconds longer than i would have waited had i been standing there. >> thank you for your perspecti perspective. you always have a home here to tell us what's going on. >> thank you, chris. god bless you and your viewers. >> thank you. be well. >> 5 dozen house democrats. now the problem on the other side of the ball.
6:09 pm
5 dozen now say it's time to impeach. let's start an inquiry. speaker pelosi still says no but there's a perception out there that this fight is a little misleading you need to know the facts and where we are historically in terms of what is going on right now. it's not as simple as people are making it for you. next. i'm working to keep the fire going for another 150 years. ♪ for beauty that begins with nature. ♪ to make connections of a different kind. at adp we're designing a better way to work, so you can achieve what you're working for.

6:13 pm
so house democrats are lining up more contempt charges which have so far failed to produce anything. what is the effect of this protracted inaction? making impeachment more or less likely. let's test the situation, shall we? the denials are goading democrats. each day more get on the dump trump train. 59 at last count. look at the faces in different places. looks very impressive until you realize what slice that is.
6:14 pm
now some say those 59 say this is the beginning of a process. this is the nixon nexus, okay? they're hoping that this would be like watergate. those hearings that lead to this huge spike in public support for impeaching nixon but here's my problem with that. it's not apples to ams, all right? there was no mueller probe that had bathed the nation at that time in information and theories for many, many months. there was no twitter. there was no trump for that matter or the trump trio over on fox, you know, helping to sell his message every night. that wasn't happening in the 70s and most people weren't following watergate until the hearings started. and remember, what did they find in those hearings? the president was involved in a serious felony. a burglary. you have been hearing about trump and russia for more than two years. support for impeaching this president is pretty much where it was a year ago.
6:15 pm
41% is getting a lot of notice. look at president obama. he was at 33%. look at george w., 30%. why? it's a negative indexing of how people feel. this is your anti-factor. another thing that's different from watergate, these 23 people all wanting to run against this president and wanting to make a case to those motivated to remove him. >> this president must be held accountable. >> you guys love strength and this is strength, harshness is strength. so while most voters nationally do not want to impeach, the vast majority of democratic primary voters do believe the president should be removed from office. now remember that phrase.
6:16 pm
that is a high bar, removal. what happens if you impeach but don't remove? that brings us back to where we started. this president. this idea that he's putting congress where he wants. i don't know, he should know a thing or two about supporting impeachment. because this president is going to have a huge role. forget about the documents that hope hicks may have, i don't see that as a smoking gun. i'm sure you don't either. the biggest factor is him. the more he acts with checks and balances the more he may be the kind of person that many of you want to see impeached. so will speaker pelosi's

6:21 pm
here are our questions. is the trump administration actually helping the case for impeachment and do they really think that if impeachment happens it's a good thing for them? that's a great debate. let's have it. we have new faces and a new place. great to have you on our one year anniversary noless. you are a gift to me. let's begin this. i start with you. make the case. why is this okay? this latest push back by the white house? >> i think whether or not any of this is covered under executive privilege, that will be debated
6:22 pm
later. the president is going to travel this country and going to point to washington. he is the president. this is hard to imagine. he's going to run again as an outcider. the great disruptor in chief and he's going to tell people that the democrats in washington can do nothing but chase we down rabbit holes and try to delegitimize my presidency. it works well for him in michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. rust belt states where he won electorally because democrats didn't make the case. >> jake says no way. of course not. he's a deeply unpopular president. he's never gotten above 50%. people forget how unpopular he is. all other presidents have been way past this number for a long, long time. he's at 43 and celebrating so he's not going to do well in michigan. he's not going to do well any where. what is he going to say he did?
6:23 pm
i got tax cuts for the rich and big business. that's not going to play well at any of those states. nancy pelosi tells me that you guys are looking forward to it. do you want us to impeach donald trump? say it right here. >> i think nancy pelosi if she wasn't as smart as she is should be letting her caucus lead her down the rabbit hole to impeachment. >> do you think donald trump should be impeached? >> donald trump would love it. >> but would you love it. >> you try to sell it to the mainstream of america because nobody gets it but you. >> but do you want donald trump impeached? because i hear that you want donald trump impeached. is that true? do you want him impeached? >> i think the democrats should try to make their entire campaign about impeaching donald trump. >> okay. great. then you want it. okay. we made news. >> that's precisely what they should do and what is fascinating about this is that
6:24 pm
nancy pelosi and donald trump, we can both disagree with them. i disagree with both on a lot of things but politically they're playing three dimensional chess. that's why she hasn't moved to impeach this president and probably won't. >> donald trump couldn't play two dimensional chess. >> no i haven't. >> one at a time. >> he is grossly incompetency. he has six bankruptcies. he never thought one step ahead in his life. total loser through and through and if you're saying she's not much of a strategist either i would agree but you think she is great and by the way, republicans think you're great. that should be a note to you. on the issue of impeachment it's a matter of principle if you let donald trump get away with two clear felonies, obstruction of
6:25 pm
justice and campaign finance violations then she would prove him right. >> one point of push back for each of you. hold on a second. i got one for each of you. so that's what you think it is. at the end of the day, if the democrats don't go down that road of accountability, let's call it because impeachment is going to be a process but it's about accountability, you believe they lose their own party. that the party will say you didn't do what we put you there for. is that your argument? >> there's two points and it's a great question. if you have a president that says he's above the law and he's broken two clear felonies, like i said, broken two laws, well you must act. if you don't act you're advocating a responsibility and it's a violation of your oath to the constitution. can you imagine if a prosecutor said the guy has clearly broken the law but i'm not going to prosecute him. that would be outrageous.
6:26 pm
>> we saw that with mueller. he had a pretty tortured explanation of why he wasn't allowed to come to the conclusion. >> i'm not sure that i agree with this explanation but what he did say was he said in his interpretation he's not allowed to indict a sitting president which he then said i'm telling you that he's not innocent which means that congress must act and in the mueller report he talks about the correct body to act in this case is congress. the reason he did the press conference and probably can't believe the democrats are not impeaching. he's like i gave you ten separate instances of obstruction of justice. >> he's going to get his chance and we'll see what he says. let me bounce the ball back to you patrick. here's what i don't understand with the analysis in terms of how it matches with the actions. i'm with you in terms of if this is the best they've got i'm in good shape. somehow someone found a way to make donald trump a victim but by obstructing the process i think the president is undercutting his own argument s.
6:27 pm
if he's just a victim why doesn't he comply with the process. >> you asked a logical question. >> we cannot have any clear understanding of why donald trump behaves the way he does. the bottom line is the mueller report fell with a thud. >> patrick, help me understand your point for the audience. you're new. what do you mean it's inexplicable that we can't understand why the president does what he does. >> the fact that donald trump became president is inexplicable to a lot of democrats. most of them still don't accept the fact that he beat hillary clinton. he continues to be president and
6:28 pm
continues to defy every single odd. he has 41 or 42% of this country that will be with him always. the other thing that i think is fascinating is there's a bunch of people out there independents that came his way in election. you don't hold the base. independent voters are not going to put up with the foolishness from democrats that have nothing more to do than chase donald trump around. >> he lost the popular vote the last time. it's going to come down to specific places and specific faces. i like this. patrick i liked having you on. you're always welcome here. it's good to have you both. thanks for being with us on our anniversary. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> weeks ago democratic presidential candidate corey booker so before this happened on friday he said i have a plan to end gun violence.
6:29 pm
it's a real thing. any presidential candidate must have one. let's take a look at it a couple of different ways. would it have made a difference on friday and does that matter? and the third question, how do you get people to do a thing about it? there's the senator. his proposed solutions next. woman: (on phone) discover. hi. do you have a travel card? yep. our miles card. earn unlimited 1.5 miles and we'll match it at the end of your first year. nice! i'm thinking about a scuba diving trip. woman: ooh! (gasp) or not. you okay? yeah, no, i'm good. earn miles. we'll match 'em at the end of your first year. (michelle) i know what it's like to be in a financially struggling family. we had a lot of leftovers...[chuckles] i couldn't have asked for better parents, but like most people they didn't have anyone to teach them the best financial habits. so we changed that. as a financial health coach, i help people every day.

6:32 pm
6:33 pm
we tried to get the governor on the show and tried to get the republican opposite of his who immediately right out of the box said we'll talk about it. we're going to talk about mandatory sentences for people that use guns in crimes. what does this have to do with this mass shooting? why are we like this? opposite sides. only in america. why? the shooting prompted senator corey booker to toss his scripted speech at a 2020 event. he went all in on a plan to fight gun violence. he's here to make the case for you. >> it's good to be on your for year anniversary. congratulations. >> thank you. the team deserves it. the first one will be what we hear every time. no matter what you're going to put out, we looked on the website. it's a big plan. almost 20 points of policy.
6:34 pm
wouldn't have stopped friday so why do anything? >> as you said yourself that's a trap. in america 100 people are dying from gun violence. more people in my and your lifetime in a short 50 or so years died in all the wars in the united states. this is a uniquely american problem. the kind of carnage that we have is unacceptable and to use one shooting as a reason to unralph an entire plan that we know there's things we can do to dramatically cut gun violence but yet we do nothing. >> in the next layer of push back, these guns under your proposals and under any that we heard, this man would have been able to buy them. he didn't check any of the boxes that would have flagged them. he didn't buy them immediately.
6:35 pm
there's nothing about him. so it wouldn't work. it still would have happened. >> he used high capacity magazin magazines. >> he had an extender and compressor. >> there's a trap about using one single incident to unravel an entire plan. i live in a community that millions of americans live in where on fourth of july too many report hearing a fire cracker has people hiding under beds and hiding in the closets because to them sounds too familiar like the sound of gunfire. >> kids where you grew up they hear and are comfortable with the sound of gunfire before they ever understand an opera or orchestra. we are getting the wrong results
6:36 pm
coming out. then you get to the big challenge which some say you're uniquely suited to. >> nobody wants to do nothing. look at virginia. virginia beach happens. the governor wants a special session. as soon as he mentioned it his political opposite says i'll talk about it but i'm talking mandatory minimum sentences. how do you get anything done? >> this is where america should be up for this fight. because if somebody is convicted of stalking their girlfriend they shouldn't be able to buy a weapon. if somebody is on a terrorist no-fly list they shouldn't be able to buy a weapon. the problem is the corporate gun lobby has too much of a handle on politicians trying to block common sense. there's a time in america where when people died we changed laws. when four girls died in a bombing in ever in a church in
6:37 pm
birmingham we changed laws. when women were throwing themselves out windows at the factory fire we changed workers laws and conditions and yet now we're showing a level of political impotency that is outrageous. people are slaughtered in las vegas and we do nothing. >> children hiding under desks being slaughtered and shot child by child and we do nothing. >> how open are you to the issues in effect, we know they're a very small percentage of overall gun crime and you deal with that in your proposal. there's a lot of gun crime that doesn't get the kind of coverage that mass shootings do in schools and otherwise but you have a mental health component without demonizing the mentally ill. you have a culture of violence that comes about do those have room in your debate as well? >> absolutely. we need to be a nation that
6:38 pm
talks about suicides. every day about 100 people die. it's 2-1, suicides no non-suicides and there's evidence based things that can stop that. we need to stop domestic violence. this is something that we're not doing something about. my proposals are based on evidence based measures shown to reduce crime. in many communities looking at this like a public health problem and investing in communities. things that help people find opportunity. we can make a difference. the problem is is that the corporate gun lobby has so perverted this debate. that most kmerns aren't aware that they exempted themselves you have a suit. well not from your gun if that happens. they even exempted themselves from having robust law enforcement. the one law enforcement agency on the federal level that's been
6:39 pm
kept starved is the atf. i still remember as a mayor going down to talk with leaders of the atf and they told me candidly that congress kept them starved in the resources they need to even investigate the laws we have right now. i love your heart and i know your head but this is a tough one. so much hope died in newtown with those kids. now something new keeps me with that cynicism. 16 and 18 you had more next generation voters than baby boomers. they put this issue very high as they do with the environment. do you think there's a chance that young voters may vote in a way to force politicians to act out of fear of consequence? >> the young voters in this country are blowing me away as i
6:40 pm
run around the country and campaign. i'm so impressed with this but we need bold leadership from every corner to elevate this issue. governments are formed for the defense. common defense and we're seeing in our nation levels of carnage that some countries at war are not seeing. all of us need to be hope. she taught me that hope is the act of conviction that dispair will never have the last word. i'm sorry. our history is full of overcoming filibusters in the senate when they stopped civil rights legislation. do you know it was creative activists that raised the conscious of this country and changed the debate of what was possible. this has got to be one of those moments. there's too much carnage around too many neighborhoods and your father remembers those drills
6:41 pm
they used to have for nuclear attacks under your desk. now our children are going to schools and having the same drills for active shooters. our children should not live in a country where such fear is being instilled by the constant inaction of legislators. it's time we take this debate and not let the corporate gun lobby form it but that we take this debate, make the argument and make the change. we have the power. it's now time to use it. >> those that vote most will win on this issue if they vote on this issue. as you notice, only policy tonight. i didn't even ask you about the president of the united states. we're going to use the show whenever we can as a forum for policy matters that matter to the american people. you'll be on the list of people that we will call and give an opportunity. you take it as you see fit. >> i appreciate that i don't have to get up early in the morning. you're now working my hours. we need a lot more of it and

the school resource officer and deputy sheriff, infamous for waiting outside. that's him highlighted there. his defense was i thought the shots were coming from outside. doesn't do the best under scrutiny of fact. that argument. his name is scott peterson and he is now facing a lot of criminal charges.

11 counts, felony, child negligent. his actions or inaction during the shooting. 17 are dead. not that he's why they are dead specifically. we know that only gets attributed to the gunman but let's bring in d. lemon. the arrest warrant notes some 75 shots went off after he arrived at the scene. key part to the analysis. not talking ability you. not talking about me. we're talking about a first responder that was there to do the job of protecting the kids. what do you think of the move? >> it's tough. listen. he -- the evidence shows that he let the kids down, right? but he was outgunned and so this makes me sad. i listen to you talk about this issue of guns. there's no winners in this situation. you have the people that lost their lives as a result of the shooter and then you have the school resource officer that's supposed to protect the kids and

did not. the only way that i can say it is there's no winning. i can't tell you if it's the right move or not. the legal process played out and that's what happened. >> it messes with my head. what are we saying? our first responders are extraordinary men and women on a ordinary basis. >> they have fear. they have everything. but they overcome it all the time. there's no need to reinforce the policy. they're amazingly heroic almost all the time. he was not arguably but what gets me is this is what we decide to act on. this is the move that makes the most sense after a shooting. this is the best we can do. like i say, it's often misunderstood but it's true. only in america do you respond to something like this this way. >> it's always tough for me to talk about these stories, chris. you weren't here at the time but i'm sure you covered it if
6:49 pm
there's one story that changed my life and changed me as a person, that's newtown. i remember being there, i remember the last day that i was there and i was thinking, you know, i may get to get out of here today and i thought about all the people that didn't. all the people that had to go on and continue their lives without their children and without their family members and living with this every single day. one of the last live shots i was doing i was standing there and a hearse came by and you could see -- i don't know if i told you this story before. a mom in the back with her head on the window and one side in the back and dad in the back with one side of his head on one side of the window in the hears and this little tiny white coffin in the back and i just broke down in tears and i said i've got to get out of here. i wasn't even connected to the story in a personal way in the sense that i had someone that i knew there. but it was tough. so that story changed me and after that i had to, you know, i went to talk to somebody about what i had witnessed. what i had
6:50 pm
seen, i had been there for a while. and i can only imagine the fear from the students, from the teachers and even from the people who were supposed to be heroic. even though you take a job as a resource officer in a school you never think it is actually going to happen. >> but that's your job. he didn't do it, and we'll let the system go. i just wish the system would embrace the urgency. >> we've got a couple stories we're going to talk about off the radar. we're going to talk about these white supremacist hearings in washington and then there are a number of transgender women in dallas who have been killed and/or missing and that story is not getting any attention. we're going to bring a spotlight to. >> good for you. let's take a break. one-year anniversary. i have something to say about it, next. sir, you're a broker.

one year. cuomo prime time. thank you. this is a closing thank you, not an argument. because this is only one side. the gratitude i feel is only second to the grace that gave me my family. so many of you have been generous in reaching out to the show, what you want, and how to make it more. we listen, we think, we grind and we get better we get after it, right? and you have seen it. we have lived it together when the man who helped get the president a pass in the mueller probe got no pass here. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> yes, you have. >> i have not. i said the president of the united states. . >> we test. we do it to your face. we have one of the michael cohen
6:56 pm
tapes, the secret recording of president trump back in 2016 made by cohen in which he and then candidate trump discuss arrangements surrounding a an arrangement to karen mcdougal. it was big. we checked the president with not only opinion, but proof. take a look at this. this is the letter of intent for the proposed trump moscow. but it's not all political pugilism. we have witnessed history around this important, and dennis rodman, too. >> things are going to change. i took those bullets. i took all of that. everything everyone came at me and i'm still standing. today is a great day for everybody. singapore, tokyo, china, everybody. it's a great day. >> it is a great day.
6:57 pm
this is a historic day. >> i'm so happy. >> he was right. i mean, i still can't get over it. but he was right. and, yes, it's not always silly. very often, it's so deadly serious. the problems that we have still yet to face. >> happy in your community. how bizarre is that? >> yeah. >> imagine if this is the best you could do for your kids. look what they're playing in the middle of. it's worse there now than it was back then. every time we've gone, it's gotten worse. every time we report on it, it's gotten worse and we have still done nothing. but we will not leave it alone. and that's the beauty of the opportunity you've given us. this show has done more and better in this first year by residents, relevance, ratings, than i imagine possible. and it would be absurd for me to look you in the eye and take credit. here's the truth. the truest thing i ever said on the show. this show is led by a young woman named melanie.
6:58 pm
a fierce fighter, focused. she is in my phone as partner, because that's what she is as my ep and she's got the scars to prove it. she leads the team and thames the dragon. our seniors, vaughan, melissa, smart, hungry, helpful people. the arguments, the facts, the angles. they are the ones who fuel the fire. melissa heads up bonnie and ben and dylan. they have the toughest job. they convince people to deal with your boy. they put the asss in the seats, whether you like it or not. because this show is not set up to pander to partisans. it's for the open and the curious. chris, patrick, charlie, put the facts in my head, make the testing as good as it can be on this show. ethan, susan, laurel, michael, tyler, mckenzie, kisha, brendan. the video and the graphics and the accuracy of what we say, the
6:59 pm
very words i mangle, the smooth operation of the whole team. they keep it correct and consistent and creative. and director ellie, the whole crew, makeup to camera to floor, the ride home, there is no me without each and all of you. and, of course, my producer, rosalie. the rose of instagram fame. there she is. she exists. i told you. she has been with me all over the country and the world. she is a constant reminder of matters in the story and life. she is invaluable, as they are. no one outworks this crew. no one cares more than we do about what we do for you. we start in the morning early. we end at night, late. these people have families, loved ones and they sacrifice because they believe. please allow me to thank them. and my cristina, bella, marimo and carlina.
