by non-favorites. >> i'm not a fan. >> jeanne moos, cnn new york. anderson starts now. good evening, in case you were wondering how president trump would react posting racist tweets about four democratic congresswomen, the answer was tonight in greenville north carolina he renewed his attacks on them and we have new reporting on how this all came to be behind the scenes and how these attacks on the four and the assault on the norms of presidential behavior the house of representatives condemned yesterday came to be seen as a political winner as something to do which he did tonight going through their four names, one by one as the crowd chanted send

her back. >> when you see the four congresswomen always in that lovely -- >> boo! >> representative ill lomar. >> boo! >> her colleague representative talib. >> boo! >> representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> boo! >> so representative pressly. >> boo! >> the president tonight also referring to senator elizabeth warren as pocahontas again. talk about what you've been hearing. >> reporter: you should note these are scripted remarks.

the president is reading from the teleprompter and spoke about how fiery reporters should expect the rally to be. what the president said tonight about each of the congresswomen is something that was preplanned in the president's behalf. they started with each of them calling them out by name, starting with representative omar where when the crowd started chanting send her back, of course, she was born in somalia, came to the united states as a child refugee and became a u.s. citizen as a teenager, they started chanting send her back and the president paused a moment to let that chant grow some momentum here in greenville. then you saw the president move onto the other of that group called the squad, alex on tandr ocasio-cortez said had too many names to go after and talked about the conditions she saw at the border detention facilities before the president eventually went on to talk about talib and this is something we were

expecting the president to lean on in the attack he made on sunday when he said the women that have been critical of not only the president but some u.s. policies could leave the country and go back to their home countries, everyone though the other three he is going after were born in the united states. we are fully seeing how the president went from advisors seeing that tweet as a stumble, anderson, to fully leaning into this strategy, something they predict will be a strategy, going into 2020 until the president is fully saying tonight essentially if you elect congresswomen, that will be the feature. >> you talk about the chant of send her back, is that for all the congresswomen tonight or just the first congresswoman that was born in somalia and became a naturalized citizen? >> i should note it was just right after he started talking about omar. she's the only one not born in the united states. someone in the crowd you heard them reference somalia before

they got to that chant. it was the president's supporter whose started the chant, not the president. he did pause to let it essentially build momentum that is the center of what the president tweeted, the attacks that many said were racist because he was telling people to go back to their countries but i should note that before the president arrived, i spoke with roughly ten of his supporters here in the arena that said they did not see that attack as racist and they agreed with the president's sentiment, if you don't like the country, you should leave. he's finding a much friendlier crowd than he was in washington where he was facing a heavy amount of criticism for that tweet. >> kaitlan collins, appreciate it. we have more reporting how the president came to see going after these congresswomen as winning strategy. let's go to cnn jim accoosta at the white house for that. i understand the president clearly believes he's winning that conversation. can you explain what cnn sources are saying? >> anderson, i will tell you to amplify what caitlyn said, i

ta talked to a source that said wtf about the president's tweets but thinks the president is a genius according to a source close to the white house who advices the president so clearly there are people, aids and advisors around the president who thought this was a mistake when he tweeted that these four democratic congresswomen could go back to where they came from and now they see a political winning strategy in all of this. i will tell you, anderson, i talked to a source this evening that said that the trump campaign has sent around fresh talking points to surrogates and one of them essentially says that nancy pelosi the house speaker lost control of her caucus as a result of these members of the so-called squad and according to one of those talking points, pelosi quote seems to be going off the deep end so they are getting very personal, not just with these four members of the squad but also with the house speaker, as well. >> and so i mean, were white house advisors aware that the president was going to go down this road? this something planned or is this something the president did on his own?

>> anderson, from all appearances, it appears that this is something that he did on his own. that he wanted to go after these four democratic congress women because they have been so sharply critical of him but what they have been doing over the last several days, aids and advisors have been trying to connect these four members of the squad to the rest of the democratic caucus and, you know, according to one gop official i spoke with earlier this evening on capitol hill, this all seems very quote intentional ever since and so yes, anderson, it does seem after the president fired off these racist tweets that made many people inside the republican party privately agassed, not so many publicly. the party as a whole seems to be moving towards the president in terms of using the strategy and weaponizing the tweets so many americans and people here in washington just thought they crossed the line and were beyond the pail. it seems as though the president has inadvertently stumbled upon something he wants to continue

to do. >> looks like it. thanks very much. paul mitchell was among a number of republican lawmakers who decried the tweets and not among the four house republicans that voted for the resolution condemning them. the congressman joins us now. thanks for being with us. i'm wondering what you make of the president continuing to go after the congress women tonight and the crowd's, you know, response of send her home for one of them. >> i wasn't aware that that was part of his political strategy. i think we need to focus on more stability, frankly. we need to address problems we have in this country and you can't do that when you're name calling both in the house itself as well as in the white house we need to work on actually having civility in talking about the issues and not personal attacks because we're really not accomplishing much in my opinion on capitol hill when we spend time with names we can trade one another. simply not productive and that's why i made my tweet that said it's beneath leadership to do

this and frankly, i felt the resolution won't exacerbate. >> i want to read part of your statement on twitter, you said inflammatory statements targeting anyone on the base of their ethnicity or origin are wrong. targeting somebody based on their ethnicity or origin, do you see the comments as racist. >> let me put it this way, my youngest son we adopted from russia and if someone said he's not american, that would be very personal to me. i don't think -- identity is destructive to this country. they are separating us from our solutions to problems and you know, anderson, we have big problems. immigration, cost of health care, pharmaceuticals. whatever you want. we're not talking about those things right now. what are we talking about? we're talking about who is the most unpleasant person and most unamerican? it's not addressing what we need to address to deal with our immigration problems among others. there is a long list.

we're not doing that. >> you said on the radio, i think on monday you said we don't tell people to leave the country just because we disagree with them. you know, i was -- you look back at history books and whether it was people coming from ireland to escape the famine, irish, there were signs, irish not allowed, go back home. you know, russians, germans, italians, certainly. every wave, chinese who came you -- so in this day in age to have an auditorium full of people, you know, whip up by the president to chant send her home, it's depressing to me. the politics aside, it just seems like is this really where we still are? >> well, anderson, my family came into south boston. i'm irish. they came in during the potato famine. a lot of immigrants come into the country. what we expect is they will work to be americans and accept our american system. they will work to make

improvements if they wish but i think the idea that we -- i criticize people based on identity because they don't agree with a political position is no way to solve problems. as i said, we've got to talk about policies. rather than talk about identity politics, which people make wrong assumptions about people when they do that and it's destructive. >> the president said today that he is quote not unhappy with the results of his comments and cnn reporting from those acknowledge the president says he considers this conversation to be a political success for him so it seems likely that it will continue. i know you said, i think it was in the radio you said or perhaps a statement you told the white house about your concerns about the statements earlier and that you would like to sit down with the president for ten minutes or so and talk about your concerns. it doesn't seem like that's a conversation that even if it happened, would have much meaning for the president given that tonight he is, i mean, it's

cliche to say doubling down or tripling down but gone all in on this. >> first i think elected officials, as a member of congress you stand up for your principles. my principles say using identity politics is the wrong way to go about this. i believe in my district. it's not a productive thing to do. the tenth congressional district was a big supporter of donald trump. there are a lot of supporters there. i support policies. this tactic with political strategy, i have questions about it. i'm not the president but it's not my style and will not be my style going forward. >> so you spoke out on twitter about it and very eloquently tonight, you ended up voting against the house resolution to condemn his language. can you explain that? some people would say how do you thread that needle? but maybe you say it's one was political and one is more sort of ethical stance. >> well, i think the resolution itself first, you couldn't read the title of the resolution to the house rules. it could have been actually called out. the speaker spoke about it and

her words were taken down because they violated our rules. the parliament said they did. my opinion when it's done is simply additional exacerbated situation, name calling and that doesn't help the situation. we didn't need to do that. one more political stunt in a series of processes that seems to be the only thing we do. i refer to life on the hill some days as a circus. i'm told that's not nice askand should call it a train wreck. do you realize how much time we spent voting on non-binding resolutions? they are not changing your life or america and not solving problems. it's just paper. >> just finally, i understand that argument. i guess my question is if labeling something i mean, isn't -- aren't there times in history when it is important to whether or not it's effective, whether or not it violates the rules of the house to, you know,

if somebody is the president of the united states and they are saying something which is racist or frankly, you know, goes -- which is clearly just designed to divide people to call it for what it is, to use those words, racist demagogue, whatever it may be. >> two things. i don't think there is any question i have taken a stance to stand out. it's clear. >> absolutely. >> they see my statements. i requested time. i don't know if i'll get it. you don't address decisive words by more divisive words. at some point in time, people need to be leaders to step up and get on with things. i won't participate in that and i decline to support the resolution. i think -- i know that message has gotten through and i'll do the best i can to talk about what i think is important. >> congressman mitchell, appreciate the conversation. thank you. >> thanks, have a good day. >> thank you for coming in. whether we come back, our own political strategists weigh in on the strategy if that's the right word for it. we'll get their take on the

attacks and which voters it may appeal to. presidential candidate mary ann williamson and her take and the message to voters she believes can defeat him. we run right into these crises, and we do not leave until normalcy is restored. we'd been working for days on a site in a storm devastated area. a family pulled up. it was a mom and her kids. everything they had had been washed away. the only thing that brought any kind of solace was the ability to hand her a device so she could call her family

with the president again tonight treating demagogue language as if it's his newest toy, the white house is embra embracing it as a political plus. sending a woman's name and letting the crowd boo her and chant send her back is not demagogue. >> i have a suggestion for the hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down. they never have anything good to say. that's why i say hey, if they don't like it, let them leave. let them leave. let them leave. [ cheers ] they are always telling us how

to run it, how to do this and that. you know what? if they don't love it, tell them to leave it. >> cnn's reporting tonight, this is seen as a political strategy even though the president didn't tell anyone about it before he launched the tweet on sunday morning. let's talk about it tonight. former top obama advisor david axelrod and tara served as communications director for republican congressman dana. david, this seems like very dangerous waters and i'm sure it's only going to get worse as we head to the election. i keep going back to history, you can imagine donald trump a l leader then telling jews to leave and the irish to leave and telling italians to get out and the chinese they aren't wanted. this is the same language, archie bunker people were laughing at it on tv in the '70s. >> it's a well worn ugly political tactic. we have to recognize -- we've

had these discussions many times. he said something, everyone says that is so outrageous he could never get away with that. >> i'm not saying that -- >> i understand that. >> the thing is, he is repeating the pattern of his political, brief political career which is he throws these incentives out to divide in a way that he thinks will be useful to him polit politicly. he wants to elevate these four young members of congress to make them the emblem of the democratic party and be outrageous to force all democrats to embrace them and support the argument they are the iconic figures in the party and in the bargain, he riles up his base with native language. the irony, peter baker wrote a great piece in the times today how ironic it is the president who was deeply critical of the country even in his inaugural

address and said we're not any different than russia in the way we approach -- >> the people that used to attack barack obama, the president was like well, there are a lot of killers out there. >> apparently he's like a self-hating america hater. now he's attacking people for saying there are things wrong in our country that need to be addressed. but i just have to take a step back as a strategist and say i recognize what he's doing and a lot of what he does is intuitive. >> totally. >> not mapped out but it's worked for him and he thinks this will work for him. >> tara, will it work? >> well, it worked for him in 2016, which is why he's doing it again and i can tell you to david's point, the nrcc has already sent out blast emails calling these targeted democratic districts, districts where democrats took the seat from a republican and all of the lines say it's repetitive. so and so, representative so and

so a deranged socialist democrat dot, dot, dot. so this is how the republican party now has decided to brand the democrat opponents as deranged socialist democrats, and it's all because of what president trump has done by elevating these four women who i as a republican obviously find many of what they say objectionable but it's on the grounds of ideology and political world view, not because of where they are from. >> there is many democrats unhappy with a lot of the positions those four are taking. dana bash, david had internal polling that showed the most forceful message against the president is making the argument he's ineffective on insta fruk tour and jobs. if true, that's most effective, all of this other stuff is not effective may be effective for republicans. >> he throws this stuff out and he expects action and the

debate. and against the president and that is this is exhausting being divided every day and having these ugly battles that keep the country from working on those kinds of problems. so i think he runs here is that there is people influence these voters by persuading them that the democratic party going as far as he's gone and as far as he will go, he may persuade them that we can't take four more years of this. >> you look back to the promises made during the campaign of the wall, mexico is going to pay for it, of a new health care system on day one that's going to be better and going to be instantly transferred, infrastructure. >> right. >> debt -- >> there is not any of that. there is no immigration compromise. there is none of that.

>> no, and that's why he's doing this because he doesn't have anythi anything. >> he's choosing not to because he would rather run having a foil. that's the way he operates all the time. i was -- i tuned into some of my old conservative talk radio friends to hear what they were saying and they are saying trump is the victim and that's right, these people need to love it or leave it. that's the idea and you saw with that horrendous send her back chant, when i heard that in the green shivers down my spine because it's ugliness and took me to the torches in charlottesville. what is next? >> they start with one person. >> very dangerous. >> or one group and move on to the next group and the next group and becomes larger and larger and you find out wait a minute, i'm now in a group that

wants to be sent home or sent somewhere else. >> he knows racial resentment is a powerful tool and that's unfortunate in this country this is legitimately a strategy, that the president of the united states is using and republicans are giving him cover. now i applaud the congressman on before us for coming out and finally saying you know what? i'm not with this. this is not okay and the fact he caught grief from fellow republicans speaks volumes about the way the party sold themselves out but we used to complain about the identity politics of the left but the president is using white identity politics to weaponize politically and i think that's very, very dangerous in a lot of ways. i don't know -- >> yeah. david axelrod, tara, thanks very much. how a presidential historian and long-time advisor, see what the president has been saying on stage tonight in north carolina. choosing my car insurance was the easiest decision ever. i switched to geico and saved hundreds. that's a win.

attack on a foreign born democratic congresswoman, yesterday the house of representatives condemning him for racist tweets, president trump seems to see the moment as historic. >> it's very unfair to what happened with respect to the way i would say republicans are being treated frankly but certainly the way this president has been treated. in the history of our country, there has never been anything like this and this should never be allowed to happen to another president again. >> for some perspective, we're joined by cnn presidential historian and david garrigan. tim, the tactic tapping into fears of others, you know, again, it was done in the past with the irish, it was done with italians and chinese and every wave essentially, it's something we've seen before in mccarthy but the term from the president

is that -- is there president for that? >> the closest parallel, i mean, we're talking now about racist presidents because we've had modern racist presidents. they just kept it quiet. they didn't share it with the public. the only parallel that i can see in the public is his millard who ran as a nativest and vice president and he succeeded the presidency after zackery taylor died. then he ran for another term as the leader of something known as the know nothing party or the american national party. it was anti catholic and anti immigrant and vicious in attacking people. and that man had been in the white house. other than he, we've had racist presidents, woodro wilson for example but they did not express their racism as head of state

the way that donald trump through his actions, most importantly the tweet, the tweets the other day and how he responded to charlottesville the way that president trump has done. >> david, i mean, you know, there have been past president held views but in private, it is -- i'm wondering as somebody that worked for democratic and republican administrations, what is it like to see the president on stage tonight encouraging or at least standing by and allowing the send her home chant to grow. >> it can be very discouraging because if you come in there as an idealist and ideals are shattered, it's a really making you feel pretty low. i do agree that you have to go back to the 1850s, others to find any real parallels to what we're seeing now but it's striking how much of a change there has been since woodro wilson.

woodro wilson is the pioneer of a progressive movement coming father or mother the left. he brought racism straight into the white house and had a showing, celebration of birth of a nation as a film and that film, as you know, helped to give birth to the kkk again. and the decades since especially since the '60s is socially unacceptable for a president to say out loud what he may privately believe. nixon is an example of that. you know, he was very anti semimisem semimet tick at times and had several jewish leaders in his team. jewish advisors like herb stein and several others. but in nixon's time, he said these things in private, not in public and that's why when you out do nixon and repulsiveness, you come a long way. >> yeah, i mean, tim, you think about civil rights movement and the horrible things that were yelled at children who were

force of black little girls and boys to enter an all white school and terp things said. you're not welcome here and one of us and these are things which the whole love it or leave it, why are you cite hriticizing am reinvention or looking at ourselves and that's what makes one of the things that america is so unique. >> well, i mean, you keep asking yourself or i do, aren't we better than this? there is historically a -- there is base if you will, an audience for native that hasn't gone away but the question i have is has the base gotten small sner ? we were able as a nation to

provide legal security and also the right to vote to african american united for 100 years after slavery was ended and one would have thought that that struggle would have had an effect on how people think about this community we call america. i think it has for the most part but there is still a group who are happy to respond to the president's appeal. it's very disconcerting and worrying because this kind of environment promotes crowdedness. this is like the mccarthy period. what we're seeing from the republicans today is very similar to what we saw from not just republicans but from democrats, too, in the mccarthy period. >> david? >> listen, i think that this may work in a short term for republicans but if you look at the long term, it's a much bleaker picture for the republican party. all theennials will be a

massive force with women, people of color and new politics just five, ten, 15 years down the road. i think republicans are in an active self-destruction in supporting the president as much as they do because in the long term, this could be suicidal. >> thanks very much. appreciate it. democratic presidential candidate mary williamson and what she makes of this all ahead. of research, read earnings reports, looked at chart patterns. i've even built my own historic trading model. and you're still not sure if you want to make the trade? exactly. sounds like a case of analysis paralysis. is there a cure? td ameritrade's trade desk. they can help gut check your strategies and answer all your toughest questions. sounds perfect. see, your stress level was here and i got you down to here, i've done my job. call for a strategy gut check with td ameritrade. ♪ i thought i was going to lose her.

the lineup is set over two nights, july 30th and 31st from detroit. it's a field of 20 candidates with one new face, montana governor steve replacing california congressman eric swalwell. thank you for being with us, ms. williamson. you said before this rally tonight, you said about the president's tweets, you said i quote, the president's tweets are more than racist, they border on rants of a dictator. i'm wondering tonight after hearing again an auditorium full of people chant send her home, what do you -- what do you make of it because you talk about the power of love and that's what you're running with. that is what the power that you say motivates you, how does love deal with an auditorium of

people chanting about an american citizen send her home? >> sometimes love says no. the president's talk tonight was more than discouraging. the president's talk tonight was dangerous. it's very important for americans to see that talk and for all patriotic americans whether on the left or right to be clear we don't do that in america. our political opponents are not our enemies. you didn't hear talk like that from ronald reagan or george w. bush or george bush senior when talking about democrats. that's not what we do here and this is so far away from the traditions of democracy that when your former guests were trying to talk about has anything like this ever happened in america, the question is not has anything like this happened but how it happened in germany. we need to be very, very serious and take this seriously because the president said, this is how he's going to run this campaign. what he -- the way he was talking about four elected officials, these women are u.s.

congress people. we don't do this in america. and all people, whether we're on the left or on the right need to be very, very clear that there is a level of honorable debate and that is not honorable debate. that is the demonization of political opponents absolutely in every playbook. >> the chant was send her back, not send her home. i misquoted it. you know, again, how does, i mean, you say love is saying no but a cynic is going to say how are you going to go toe to toe with somebody on a debate stage who has no shame and who is willing to say anything about anybody and use any kind of division to get an advantage? >> nobody, no intelligent observer thinks somebody myself or anyone else is going to have any more of a fair debate with donald trump than hillary clinton did. my conversation at this point is not with donald trump. my conversation is with the american people. that is where the decision lies.

the american people need to decide whether or not this kind of discourse and it really doesn't matter to me what the crowd was chanting, what matters to me is the words of the president tonight. and so the issue is not how i'm going to talk to him on the debate stage. you know, this idea of what does love do? if you look at the great religious traditions, that's where you see recognition of what evil is. you know, and christianity, there is love and resurrection and realization of the cur crucifixion and slavery. it was the religious traditions and early evangelicals who rose up and began -- the quakers who began the movement and dr. king, a preacher, a baptist preacher in the conference who were the ones who drew the line against segregation. so the idea those of us with a spiritual prospective don't know how to deal with evil, i think too many people in the establishment are not calling out and seeing the level of

people going on here. >> you said on the debate stage something to the effect of you know, all these people with plans, you know, that's -- well, let me play it. i think i have some of it. let's play this. >> it's really nice -- do you think we'll beat donald trump by just having all these plans, you got another thing coming because he didn't win by saying he had a plan. he won by simply saying make ama america great again. >> you said he won by tapping into something in people's brains of a fear. so again, how do you combat that? >> well, two things i want to say. first of all, even in that part of the debate, i said plans as important as they are. certainly public policy matters plans matter and anybody that knows i have plenty of policy positions. in terms of what i was saying about the president and obvious tonight, this man is tapping into something in the psyche of people. he is not just a politician. he is a phenomenal and a insider

politics just talk about plans conversation is not going to defeat him. the only way to defeat a phenomenon is to defeat with another phenomenon and we need an uprising of love for this country and what democracy means and what it stands for. the only way to over ride that hate is with a real love for each other. we love mercy, compassion, democracy, we love our earth and children and other people's children and we love our unborn great grandchildren and we will stand for that. and that is what i was saying that night and after hearing him tonight, i say it even more forcefully. >> you've moved to des moines, iowa and i don't want to go into polls and sufficient but what do you -- do you hear love from people? people who disagree with you, you're out there talking to diners and people, do you say that there is a lot of love out there or do you say there is a lot of fear out there? >> there are far more people

that love than hate. hate has been harnessed for pot l -- political purposes. jerry kushner said he had been at mcdonald's talking to his father in law and said i see a lot of angry people and we can harness that and make you president. i thought there is so much love out there and dignity out there and decency out there, we could harness that and change the world. far more people love than hate in this country and in the world but what happened in the united states is that those who hate, the racist, the biggots hate with conviction and are strategized and energized by the president of the united states. so those of us who love must love with the same conviction demonstrated by those who hate because conviction itself is a hate -- is a force multiplmulti. we have to stand for love. we can't love people like us or our children. we must stand for the children

on the other side of town and love for children on the other side of the world. we must stand for love as effectively and as passionately and with as much seriousness as that which is now unfortunately being demonstrated by some who hate. >> marianne williamson. appreciate your time. still a lot more news. we'll be right back. most people think a button is just a button. ♪ that a speaker is just a speaker. ♪ or - that the journey can't be the destination. most people haven't driven a lincoln. discover the lincoln approach to craftsmanship at the lincoln summer invitation. right now, get 0% apr on all 2019 lincoln vehicles plus no payments for up to 90 days. only at your lincoln dealer. and my side super soft? with the sleep number 360 smart bed you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. so, can it help us fall asleep faster?

and see what he's working on for "cuomo prime time." you're listening to the rally, right? i think we have to be very honest about what this election is going to be about. we could talk about how it's about health care or some policy. this is a definitional election about what the soul of this country is about. this president knows what he's doing. he's right when he says a lot of people agree with him. that's because the right is

misleading when they say racism isn't a problem in this country. it is. a lot of people fear others. he's playing on that. what will the democrats do? we're bringing on two representatives tonight that represent campaigns and have support. what is their strategy for this? did they see what this election is about? it's not medicare for all versus some half measure. it's about the soul of the country. that's what we're taking on. >> and i'm not sure any of the candidates -- none of the republican candidates, you know, in 2016 knew how to campaign against donald trump. >> i think it's very hard. people don't play with this poison. we haven't seen it done this way before. but the president's not dumb and he's not wrong. >> certainly. >> it's about how is it counter. what is its positive opposite. that will be the battle test for anybody that wants to take on this president. you heard them at that rally tonight. there can be no question if people got his message. they were saying send her back. not to the bronx.

this is us versus them, and he knows it and he's banking on it. >> chris, thanks. something to make you smile, the ridiculist is next. i've always been excited for what's next.

i'm still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? sharing my roots. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk

if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. ♪ ask your doctor if ♪ ♪

it's my special friend, antonio. his luxurious fur calms my nerves when i'm worried about moving into our new apartment. why don't we just ask geico for help with renters insurance? i didn't know geico helps with renters insurance. yeah, and we could save a bunch too. antonio! fetch computer! antonio? i'll get it. get to know geico and see how much you could save on renters insurance. time now for the ridiculist. it's the math edition. we know what a mathlete president trump is. if you didn't know, that don't take my word for it.

>> i've always been very good at math. >> why doesn't everyone discuss this? i'm no tucker carlson, but let's agree to have discussions in every american classroom about once a week about how good our dear leader is. the president is amazing at math, division, he's a master at dividing, addition, just about anything, but the problem with genius is their kids never live up to the same level. it doesn't matter where they go to school. sometimes apple do fall kind of far from the tree. eric trump showed up this morning on fox and friends and he had some pretty interesting mathematical calculations of his own. he was trump-explaining how many americans back his father. >> he has to fight against the

media, against these lunatics. and 95% of this country is behind him in this message. >> 95% of the country. look? i didn't go to wharton business school, but i know that's a lot. even vladimir putin doesn't get 95%. the president doesn't even claim that big of a crowd are behind him. he tweeted he was at 50% today. but you know what, i give eric trump a break. i can't be easy, i get it. you want to impress your dad, not exactly the hugging type unless you're a former play mate. you go on tv, maybe he'll see, maybe your dad will ask stephen miller to email you. miller is important. so, math may not be young trump's strong suit, but polling, he does know polling. it's not clear if he agrees with the polls or disagrees and he

seems very torn about it. >> you know how phony all of these polls are. his polls have never been better. he's killing it in the polls. but we also know how phony these polls are. >> that is kind of the definition of a mixed message. he's killing it in the polls but of course, they're phony. the polls are phony. he's going to protect pre-existing conditions, but republican's lawsuit could end those protections. oh, sarah sanders, where are you when we need clarification. don't worry america, ivanka and jared are in the white house. they're keeping a low profile right now while kids are in cages. but i'm sure ivanka and jared will leak their private concerns soon enough. you can down the on conndonny j and eric to be the face of trump. we might be here because of

nepotism, but we're not still here because of nepotism. see what he did. deep. i'm 95% sure it's deep on the ridiculist. news continues with "cuomo prime time." >> thank you. i'm chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." the president stood satisfied as a rallying cry of "send her back" echoed through a north carolina stadium tonight. make no mistake, this president wants to divide. that is his plan to win. we have two house members here from different democratic wings. what do they think they're up against and do they have a winning strategy? let's test it. and, it better not be that people won't buy this president's talk. you hear what happened last night when i asked a trumper and u.s. senate candidate if he would support this president even if trump admitted he was a racist. you know what i
