tv Cuomo Prime Time CNN July 2, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT
6:00 pm
assistant named randy and find out what is going on with green onions. you can always roll like marbles before the parade passes buy on the ridiculist. the news continues. "prime time" starts now. >> thank you, anderson. i'm chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." brand-new national numbers are in. kamala harris is locked in a dead heat with joe biden. is that real? let's test one of senator harris's main surrogates is here. but we have congresswoman katie hill to deal with the present, what is she and her fellow members and congress going to do about the ticking time bomb at the border? that is what facility managers are now calling the unsustainable overflow after many months of failure to act by this administration and this congress. take a look for yourself. these are the newest pictures.
6:01 pm
but none of what you're seeing now is new. so who's going to step up and what will that mean? and why did nike just do it? did the sportswear giant dishonor the american flag right before america's birthday? that's a great debate. so let's get after it. ♪ here's the reality of the moment. after the debate, only two points separate biden from harris in a new national poll. that is a virtual tie of course. a key surrogate is here tonight to help keep the momentum going, but first, we got to deal with what matters most. these pictures on the border show what should have been dealt with a long time ago. migrants squashed into cells, kids wearing those masks, you got people sleeping on top of one another, adults holding signs for help. i applaud members of congress and the latino caucus for
6:02 pm
organizing the trip down there this week, but all this high and we had no idea it was this bad, it's not true. let's bring in congresswoman katie hill, vice chair of the oversight committee. it's good to have you. i want to be very clear about this, it's good to go down there. it's the job to see what's happening for yourselves. my frustration is a matter of fact. you knew what was going on down there. you had been told by the guy who ran cbp and nothing was done. the alarm now to me seems false. >> so i think you're absolutely right. we have known what's going on and this shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. what has been done, what we were working on was a comprehensive package of supplemental appropriations that would not only provide the resources that are necessary to deal with the crisis at the border, but also the accountability that's necessary. and one of the reasons that i
6:03 pm
voted no along with many of my colleagues from the hispanic caucus, from the progressive caucus, despite the fact that we kn knew we needed media resources, the resources were not in place to the degree we needed them to be. this is an important moment for us to move forward to say here's how bad it is. i'm glad that the national attention is on this issue right now. the more people see, the more tragic they realize that this is, the more that it's out in the open, the more that we're going to be able to build that momentum and get something done. we got the supplemental passed but now september 30th is when that runs out and the fight is going to continue. >> two quick points and i want to get into the election. i appreciate you being here to talk to the audience about this because i got to be honest, i wish it were everywhere. this issue is not resonating and i don't get it. it seems so anti-american. here's the first one, a lot of
6:04 pm
what the democrats wanted was poison pill measures to curtail enforcement by the administration. you knew they wouldn't go for it, yet you kept pushing it and that was the point of delay. that's the first point of push back, what do you say to that? >> i don't know what poison pill they could be referring to. the only -- the only piece that is we wanted in there were not poison pill and is they were saying that i.c.e. and cbp have to have mechanisms in place, that we're able to access those facilities, that we have -- that they have standards in place for hygiene, for medical care. and i think that all of those are totally reasonable. and the fact that mitch mcconnell would not take it up, that he was going to reject any of the amendments that were in our version, was -- it shows to me exactly the kind of problem that we have in the senate right now and precisely why we need
6:05 pm
new leadership there. >> so now what? you know that the resourcing is an issue. now you passed the supplemental, good. at least that ball is rolling. the rules matter, what qualifies as asylum and what does not. how long do kids have to be kept for, the idea of closing the camps. how do you deal with making it better about rules not just resources? >> well, that's exactly it and this is the discussion that i hope we start happening the second we get back from our recess right now. we have to figure out exactly what we mean by asylum and this isn't a conversation just for congress. this is a conversation for us as a nation. i believe that people who are coming here from other countries are doing so out of desperation. and the rules around asylum is something that is fundamentally obscure. we have to decide what is it that we value as americans.
6:06 pm
are we really the promised land that we have been for so long. that's one thing. the second is i don't believe that these camps should be operated by cbp or i.c.e. we should have resource centers that are operated by non-profits, that are operated by community-based organizations that know how to do this, that are set up and established to do this, that are going to treat people with dignity and have the resources and capability to do so in a way that is consistent with our values. and frankly this isn't a law enforcement function. this is something that, you know, shelters the red cross has been dealing with in situations of crisis for so long. and it's something they should be able to handle with our help. >> we will stay on this and we are happy to reward any progress even if it's part of a process. so we'll come back to you on this. now, let me make this easy for you on kamala harris, she pops in the numbers after the debate.
6:07 pm
the logical argument would be, yeah, she took a big bite out of biden which was premeditated and very effective. but will it be sustainable? your response? >> well, listen, i think that the more people hear from senator harris, the more that they're going to like her. and this is something i've thought for a long time. most of us who know her believe that. she is smart, she's effective, she's focused on real solutions, the problems that people face every single day. that's what was reflected in the debate. and she brings personal experience to the table that resonates with people. so i think that in terms of sustainability, the more that we hear from her, the more that people across the country hear from her, the more they like her. >> the policy issue well could come down to health care. the senator has tripped not once but twice over her own position.
6:08 pm
either she is for medicare for all and for getting rid of private insurance or she is not. which is it? >> well, i don't think it's a binary choice like that. people who are on medicare right now also have private insurance. >> some. >> and medicare for all means that -- what? >> some. >> sorry. you can. and so i believe that medicare for all, that there's still a space for that. people should be able to buy or have supplemental insurance and that's the senator's position as well. >> i agree with your position that that is logical and consistent, but the senator has said on two different occasions, yes, i'm for getting rid of all private insurance and then the campaign has had to come out not once but twice to say, that's part of a conversation, maybe she is, maybe she isn't. they corrected it the first time with jake tapper. and then again at the debate, raise your hand if you're in favor of getting rid of private insurance. up goes the senator's hand.
6:09 pm
why is that? >> the mi think that was a fair mistake to make but i think that she's been very consistent that she believes that there should be the opportunity for supplemental private insurance and i do think that that's a conversation we all need to be having about what exactly that role is in the future where every single person has health care as a right not a privilege. >> a 100% and i have invited the senator onto the show to make her case. the invitation continues. i can only make the offer. i cannot accept it. although i would have a much easier time bookds my show that way. you are always welcome to make the case. i will follow up with the office to see if this dialogue is starting because the issue matters so, so much on the border. thank you. senator harris getting a lot of juice right now in the media and rightly so because the polls will dictate the passions of the media as well as people. and she has caught up with biden in iowa.
6:10 pm
now, is this all bad news for biden? maybe not. you know who should be worried, senator bernie sanders. who says? the wizard of odds. what his supernatural powers are telling him, next. >> announcer: one on one, brought to you by miralax. it works with the water in your body to unblock your system naturally. miralax works with the water r body to unblock your system naturally. and it doesn't cause bloating, cramping, gas, or sudden urgency. miralax. look for the pink cap.

6:14 pm
the warning is that polls are not predictive of outcome as much as they are suggestive of a moment in time. and here's where we are right now. the former vp joe biden joe biden is still on top. but after that debate, he got a beat down and senators kamala harris and elizabeth warren were the beneficiaries, okay? what's more, senator bernie sanders, the man who once held steady at second place, barely lost to hillary clinton if you take into effect everything that happened in that primary, he's going down. what changed? harry enten, the wizard of odds with the insight. let's look at the iowa numbers here. >> yeah. >> all right. the national poll is where biden and harris has slimmed up to two. what's the story? >> a few things. obviously kamala harris jumps all the way up to 16% in the state of iowa and this is not necessarily the type of state you think she would do well with. she saw a big jump with african-americans. it's the same story with biden. he's polling slightly better in
6:15 pm
iowa which is a surprise because last month we had him at 24%. but if you're talking about a state where you can really see the decline in bernie sanders' numbers, look at this, in iowa, a state where he got nearly 50% of the vote, he's only at 9% and pete buttigieg, she's dropped all the way down to 6%. this is a bad poll for sanders and buttigieg. a good one for harris and biden is holding his own. >> the sanders people are scratching their heads saying i don't get it. biden got beat up, why am i losing votes? >> i think the fact of the matter is, take a look at this nationally, and i think this is a key point. i've divided this, the overall quinnipiac and what we see here is sanders only at 13%, in fourth place nationally. take a look at this very liberal column, look at this. even among very liberals this, the part of electorate he should be doing his best in, he can only manage a tie for second place. that is tied with kamala harris.
6:16 pm
elizabeth warren leading there and i think this is a key difference between 2016 and this cycle, now you have a lot of competition for bernie sanders in that very liberal camp and you're seeing that in this poll. >> the two narratives going on, one, harris and warren are eating sanders' lunch. the second one, biden is human. >> biden is very human. >> and he's going to be test and got to be on his game. >> it's not a big surprise that biden is trailing, but a key difference before this debate, he was holding his own among those groups where he wasn't doing that well with. now at this point, he's losing a lot of ground there and the only reason he's up is because of moderate conservatives. >> the idea of biden versus the performance of biden. you know who's going to be important, he will. if he stays like this a year from now, someone is going to need him to jump on their side. keep going. >> i want to point this out as well. this is interesting.
6:17 pm
i looked at previous runner's up in who went onto win the nominations, clinton, dole, romney, mccain and i looked at where they were polling and they were all polling at at least 17% in the national polls if not significantly higher in the case of dole, clinton and push. look at where bernie sanders is polling, 13%, 14%. and this is a dangerous sign, if you run before, everyone knows who you are -- >> isn't it t it that bernie sas a huge field? >> the fact of the matter is, you go back to 2008, can you name all of the candidates, mitt romney, rudy giuliani, i could go on and on and on. >> that's why you are the wizard. >> george h.w. bush, a huge amount of people who were running that year.
6:18 pm
what we would expect as a runner up, would have a lot, but only one endorsement outside of his home state. >> very well argued. >> i try my best for you christopher and i want you to have a happy july fourth. >> we're free, baby, enjoy it. old glory, it's long been a cherished symbol of our freedom, of course. what happened with nike? they had the flag on the back of the sneaker. that wasn't the issue. it's what flag it was and how they took it all away. pc pressure run amuck? right move? we debate next. every time you color powered by 60% oils olia propels color deep into hair, and without ammonia. it's in the oils. olia. brilliant color. visibly healthier hair. by garnier naturally.

visibly healthier hair. do your asthma symptoms ever hold you back? about 50% of people with severe asthma have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. fasenra is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra is proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can lower oral steroid use. fasenra may cause allergic reactions.

6:22 pm
this is very debatable, what did nike do and why and was it good or bad? here was the shoe. it was made to celebrate the fourth of july. you got the original 14 colonies there. the company pulled the shoe. why? k colin kaepernick and others raised concerns about the betsy ross flag. now nike is taking fire from the
6:23 pm
right. arizona's governor is saying the company is bowing to political correctness and is yanking incentives for nike to build a plant there. make the case that nike was right to pull the shoe. >> first of all, it's within nike's prerogative to pull the shoe. this republican and this fallout rage is almost laughable. the shoe and flag represented a period of time where i was three fifths of a human being. that is a issue. people don't want to go back to that time. but nike made a business decision that they have every right to do. and so for the governor of arizona, for ted cruz, for all of these now self-righteous politicians on the right to come out and break out pitch forks for nike, look, they were the same people who were trying to
6:24 pm
burn nikes a few weeks ago and that stock went straight up. so why don't you do that same thing again, i think it's going to help nike's bottom line. but they are quiet as church mice when they're talking about a president who tramples on the american flag today, who lets his children play government on the weekends and now who has an humanitarian crisis on the border. i rather you worry about what's going on today with our american values. >> if we're going to get back to nike, though, nobody that i know of is saying they don't have a right to make this dreadful mistake. we're saying it's wrong. and here's why it's wrong. nike is really i think more -- at least was more than just a company. it was an iconic american story. and sadly what it's becoming now is a soulless globalist bureaucracy and one that is
6:25 pm
willing to disrespect the country that made its rise possible and why is it doing it? it's doing it to try to placate a to a much of celebrities, including a washed-up quarterback who disrespects our flag. and he always told us during his protests that it's not about the flag. i'm not disrespecting the flag. i'm protesting police brutality. betsy ross was not involved in police brutality. to now protest the flag of our founding shows us that all the while it was about the flag. cal ly colin kaepernick doesn't like th this country very much. >> hold on one second. why didn't nike just replace the flag on the back with the 50-star flag. >> it's a business decision. but let's get -- steve and i have two totally different views
6:26 pm
of what it means to be patriotic. we have two totally different views on what it means to be american. i love this country. i love the united states of america and the reason i love it is because of people like colin kaepernick, because of people muhammad ali, because of people like my father and so you can call colin kaepernick any name that you want to call him. the fact is, colin kaepernick had the audacity to take a knee for what he believed in, and, yes, he believes in this country that you should not have to talk to your children if their black or brown because they may have an interaction with police that goes wrong. you may have one belief that's built on patrioty -- >> where did white supremacy -- i'm not going to let you get away with that and throw that in causally. who said anything about white
6:27 pm
supremacy? >> because you have to understand what the founding of our country is. do you understand that our country was founded on the backs of black folk? >> our country was founded -- our country was founded -- imperfect though it is and was, like any country in the world, our country was founded in liberty. if we want to have the standard be that any flag that existed in an era of slavery, that means any flag in the world that is roughly 200 years old is unusable because savory until 200 years ago was the global norm. >> what does that mean? >> what i'm saying is that history didn't start yesterday. and so we cannot say that we're going to erase history from 200 years ago simply because -- >> let me say this -- >> because there were imperfections in our founding. our founding was the most magnificent event in political
6:28 pm
history. something that is to be celebrated -- >> 400 years ago this year, black people came to this country. they were -- they came in chains. they were shackled. they did not come here as anything voluntary. they came here as slaves. that is a fact. our country was built on the back of black folk and we built it for free. colin kaepernick has a right to take a knee. a nike had the right to do what it wanted to do. i have a problem with the fact that we get tied down in these culture wars where i find myself having to teach history lessons. this country was built on white spr supremacy -- >> it was not. >> this country was built on liberty and tolerance and free markets and love and --
6:29 pm
>> so slavey is free markets and liberty? >> no. slavery is a part of our history and a terrible part of your history. again, of course we're not a perfect nation. there are no perfect nations, there's no perfect people. however to say that the united states was built on white supremacy is such ludicrous rhetoric that i'm appalled that you would say it and say it two days before the birthday of our great country. and this -- >> be appalled that i am speaking -- >> one at a time. >> there's no greater place to be a minority in the entire world than the united states of america today. do we have a blemished history? of course we do. do we have an amazing history? yeah, we sure do. and we should celebrate that betsy ross flag. if nike had any honor, it would realize that the country that made its success possible should be honored and it should not
6:30 pm
catering to the woke mob. >> i believe oftentimes that people in this country confuse patriotism with prejudice. i am on this show tonight and i have the ability to speak my mind because i believe in the united states of america. i believe in this country not what it was or what it is, but what it can be. and every single day, people like colin kaepernick and others fight to make this a more perfect union. you can say what you want to say about the history of this country and you can go back and relive when we were three fifths of a human being, but what we're going to do is fight to make this a more perfect union by acknowledging our past, understanding what it is, but not going back. so my hat is off to all of those people who are fighting. these politicians on the right who want to make this some new culture war, i dare not go down that rabbit hole, but i will speak the truth on this holiday because that's what we have the right to do. >> hold on a second.
6:31 pm
there's too much kaepernick in this conversation, with all due respect to him, and obviously he has the right to say what he says. but that was a conversation we've already had. it really does seem to me that this comes down to the flag they picked. they went with something that they thought was nostalgic and we have a cultural dynamic about what is the role of nostalgia. do you also embrace that which you remember? that's what we were talking about with the confederate flag. we have people saying it was a heritage, and people saying, yes, it was a heritage of slavery. if they had picked the 50-star flag, there would be no issue now, right? >> you throw on your jogging suit and a nice matching jersey and you wear it to the cookout. >> i'll tell you what i loved about this. this is not easy. you guys are coming with a very
6:32 pm
different set of cultural precepts from each other. sometimes they dove tail, and i'm not sure we see that anymore. but you did it with decency, and this is a hard conversation and it's not the last time we're going to have it. but you guys had it very well. that was a benefit to the audience. and i thank you both. thank you for having the debate. democrats are taking new action to get their hands on president trump's taxes. now, we have a member of the all-powerful ways and means committee. he's going to tell us how and i have some tough questions next. ♪ it's a lifelong advee finding all of these new connections all the time. new features. greater details. richer stories. get your dna kit today at ancestry.com. here are even more reasons to join t-mobile. one do you like stranger things? sure you do.

6:36 pm
house democrats are once again escalating their fight for president trump's tax returns. this time it's a new lawsuit against the irs and treasury department. democrats in the ways and means committee want a court order that would require officials to produce six years worth of trump's tax returns and audit records. how strong is their case and is this the issue they should prioritize? democratic congressman of texas joins me now. best to you and your family for the fourth. >> thank you, chris. >> my first question, what took so long? what took so long? this was always where it was
6:37 pm
going to wind up. why did the democrats delay and give all this time and lose energy? >> i think it's inexplicable. this should have been done a long time ago and the delay has really -- really means that probably we see none of this this year and it will take a series of really fortune developments in the courts to ensure we see it before the end of congress. you know, being thorough and careful is important. being dilatory is not good when you're opponents' tactic is delay, delay, delay. >> dilatory. fancy word, it means wasting time. here's the thing, lloyd, this i believe fits into a matrix of confusion for the democrats. i am not arguing that you start an impeachment inquiry. that is not my place and it's not my space. what i'm saying is, haven't you guys seen enough proof from the administration that they will dog your oversight efforts and
6:38 pm
haven't so many of you said enough already to justify an impeachment inquiry. if you feel like chasing these things down, do it the right way or don't do it at all. >> absolutely. we should begin an impeachment inquiry. i've been calling for one after seeing that the weak, timid response of recent months is not working against a president who believes in total obstruction, no documents, no talking, no nothing, and given that reality, it's time to move forward forcefully and do it through an impeachment inquiry as soon as possible. i think that will only happen if more people across this country demand it of the congress. >> by the way, i think you may lose the lawsuit. yes, the statute is written unbelievably plainly. i'm with you. there's a little bit of confusion why you have the treasury secretary -- your best fact is that the treasury secretary is front running this because it's supposed to be the irs commissioner.
6:39 pm
and it would allow you guys a constructive case that this is being blocked -- >> absolutely. >> couldn't you see a judge saying you don't need the taxes to find out whether the irs has been auditing him, they can just tell you. >> i disagree with you on that. shall means shall and the first opinion that was discovered within the internal revenue service, the professionals there said that the department had little alternative but to provide these records as they have done on other occasions on appropriate requests under this statute that goes back to the 1920s. so i think we'll ultimately prevail, there is a very narrow purpose identified so we understand how the auditing function is working. but i was pleased to see in the papers that were finally filed today, there's reference to the fact that we have much broader legislative purpose that is very legitimate. under this statute, we
6:40 pm
appreciate get the returns. it's that we face an administration that relies as with all of its unwilling witnesses on delay and it's willing to take this all the way to the supreme court and that will make months, maybe years to get resolved. >> i know that people say all the time and i hope by this point you know, i respect your service to the country. i respect our members of congress. i do. i do not think that these general notions that people don't tell the truth, i think there's exceptions. i don't think that's the rule. however, i don't believe in this walk and chew gum at the same time thing. and i think the border issue is the perfect example. not only was the political opportunity there, but to put your arms around it and own it when the president made it all about fear and offense and you guys could have said it's about these kids and compassion, but because it is literal and you haven't done it. why not focus on this which now
6:41 pm
everybody is saying they just discovered, lloyd, everybody just discovered in your party this is a problem. >> i have to disagree with you again. we are capable of doing more than one thing at the same time. many of us have been talking about and trying to draw attention to this crisis at the border that president trump created for months if not years. and the need for appropriate action. what president trump has done is to weaponize these children by abusing them with pure and simple child abuse. he's used that first deliberately to try to deter immigrants from coming here with what is a valid asylum claim for many of them, and now he's using it as a weapon against the congress to insist that he be given a blank check for his detention and deportation policy. this government had money for toothbrushes. it had money for water so people don't have to drink out of a toilet. it is outrageous at this point
6:42 pm
where we celebrate freedom on the fourth of july that we have it an administration that is so indifferent to the welfare of these individuals that we engage in this kind of conduct. i just feel -- >> did you not enable his ability to keep these conditions the way they are by not funding it for this long? and by putting in enforcement language that you knew would be poison pills to the other side which would further delay the kids from getting these resources. >> let's talk about that enforcement language. i think we needed much stronger enforcement language, that's why i voted against the bill last week because we know this is a president who's lawless, who's willing to divert resources for toothbrushes and use it for detention. we need to have those restraints and we need to have the health and safety standards in there. you're coming on the fourth of july, there's so much concern about what the tank tracks will do to pennsylvania avenue for this great celebration of president trump, what we really
6:43 pm
need to be concerned with are the tracks that he's leaving across our constitution as a lawless president to resist and push back not only at this outrageous conduct on the border, but the conduct that obstructs justice in every way. >> i promise you this, you have an invitation on this show whenever you want to talk about the state of progress on this issue. the rules, the requirements for the kids, where we are in making it better and having different resources, because, yes, you guys just cut them a bunch of money, but it's going to be over by the fall and we'll be right back where we are, even though the hiring season is over, you'll start having different problems down there because the dynamic is so involved. you're always welcome to discuss this and i appreciate you taking the invitation tonight. >> chris, thank you so much. have a great fourth. >> be well. you too. did work in your office slow down as much as it did in my today? i'm not talking about the fourth and vacations.

goal. and after england tied it up, captain morgan put the u.s. back on top, poured her own kind of drink, a spot of tea, oh, and today is her 30th birthday. what a gift. let's bring in laura coats, the upgrade, in for d. lemon. yes, you have the men's basketball team on the men's level. but in the modern era and the evolution of this sport, these women are killing it. >> this is their third time, their third straight time. these women are the real deal. and you have 50,000 people who are watching and cheering them on. it takes a lot to be able to walk up there and have the pinky up after you score a goal in their own home. >> i like the edge. americans are edgy. we don't always play by everybody's rules and i think that's okay. and i have to tell you, having two daughters, i love the example. i love the -- they don't need to look to boys playing the sports that they love.

tanks, bombers, jettings. you name it. all paraded out for americans and for america. the world to see us this way as we celebrate the fourth of july. we have never seen anything like this here. we have seen it in russia and north korea. that comparison concerns many of you. bill maher is one of them. here's his take. tanks in the street shall we review the dictator checklist. he goes on. is this president really desperate to be a december pit? i don't know.
6:56 pm
it's likely he wants another way to show off and sees this at that. this president may have gotten the idea not from the scary places but from france. how pleased he was at the parade. remember this? >> i was your guest. and one of the greatest parades i have ever seen. and to a large extent because of what i witness we may do something like that on july fourth. in washington down pennsylvania avenue. >> all right. look, that could be it. he thought it looked strong. and he's all about the sell. and what sells power more than military muscle. now i think there is something else. military might is certainly part of american exceptionalism. i'm not antimilitary. far from it. we of course fought our way to freedom. the issue is not what the president wants to show off. it is what will not be present.
6:57 pm
we don't see displays of military here often because we are more than that. our greatest point that compels others is our compassion. sweet strength. coming to the aid of the weak. helping those in crisis. that is how america made her mark. yes, we fought. remember what we fought for. of the chance to live and believe and look and love as you like. a kind of freedom the world continues to envy. america has many tanks but the power that distinguishes her is that truth. not the tank. the bigger problem is this president is shortchanging america by featuring just one aspect. he's making us like look the guy with big arms in the gym but no legs. america must show the strongest muscle is her heart. that is the source of our pride. so, the ugly talk the
6:58 pm
divisiveness the attacks and us versus them. international embarrassment. this potus may pack an arena with tens of thousands but millions dislike him and question if this is really what america has become. what's the proof? new poll shows americans pride in the u.s. is slipping. 70% of us were extremely proud to be american in the years after 9/11. what now? 45%. down two points from just last year. not up. since trump. no matter what he says. he should think about why that is. if he listens to the pals and pawns who say he's a victim, you're a victim. he's getting bad advice. you want to show tanks and jets? whatever. fine. we pay for them. they protect us. great. we love the military. we don't take care of them how we should. but we love them. they don't define america
6:59 pm
though. the president needs to understand that. we're not a country that's nothing without our missiles. to be respected merely for the nukes. as we see those proxies for power are getting too common. better to show what makes america uncommon. our real weapon against oppress sors. that is our interconnectiveness and interdependence. which truly motivated our independence. this country is about those with no bond with one another except a mutual determination to live a dream of being free to live as they like. put that on display. show off the fruits of our struggle. we live here as a testament to the possible. out of many, one. any country can have tanks. only one can boast what makes america strong. that is what i have as an argument for tonight.
7:00 pm
thank you for listening and watching. "cnn tonight" with laura coats in for d. lemon starts now. >> what a case for diplomacy. that graphic scared he. patriotism on the decline? can you imagine that? >> i can. because we are what we hear. very often. for the dialogue and us as amplifiers of that. we are often to blame for magnifying the wrong message. it wears on you. how many people the more and more involved that you get here at cnn tell you i love you you're so smart, i can't listen anymore. i can't take it. i can't. i can't hear it. how many people tell you that? >> maybe i'm glass half full. you believe so much in the u.s. it disappoints you this is the moment as aberration. not indicative of the character. a lot of that has to do with people and you're talking about the idea of diplomacy. if we're only
