washington post" and cnn that he wanted to offer pardons if people break the law to get the border wall built. what i always wonder john is when you're a white house aide or a government official and the president is denying something that he said to your face, how do your square that? what does that feel like when the president is lying about you? >> great question. thanks so much for being with us. i really appreciate it. the news continues so i'm going to hand it over to chris cuomo "prime time" starts right now. chris, i hope you can hear me. j.b., i can and you sound marvelous. hurricane dorian strengthening, but the worst appears to be over for our neighbors on the island, still beaten down of course from hurricane maria. there's loads of danger for our mainland, the florida coast, a little bit farther north. dorian is spiraling. and the president said some things that were outrageous today.

that's not unusual. the president said some things that were outrages you today. that's not unusual. it is what he did and promised to do that he must justify to you especially with an election coming. and we have a representative from his campaign tonight to do just that. also, we're going to take a look at the lens of puerto rico what this president has said, what he's done, what it means, the residents there feel betrayed and forgotten. the former congressman is there. he is angry. he is righteous, and he will let you know why. and did you hear that the president is upset that fox isn't working for him anymore? they must love him basically acknowledging that he sees them as state tv. he says he's looking for a new 24/7 maga megaphone. what does that mean? let's get after it.

look, the good news is, that puerto rico seems to have dodged a big bullet, but it does not take much, okay. the land there is easily saturated, the power grid is weak, and the situation of infrastructure there and so many of the houses is still all beaten up from maria. so right now, you're looking at some picture at the virgin islands. we're going to be following dorian. it doesn't have to be a major category something to hit you to hurt you. we're going to look at all the places. you saw what happened in martinique that was flooding from the outer bands. dorian could possibly become a category three late sunday into monday as you see the map there. that's when we expect the most common track for it to hit the mainland on that eastern florida coast. florida's governor declared a state of emergency. georgia could also be at risk.

let's start here on puerto rico tonight. of course they have to be feeling grateful. last thing they need is another direct hit from a hurricane. but they did take a direct hit from our president once again, all right? not only is he exaggerating the money that's been given to them, not only has he slow walked having that place rebuilt, but now we know that disaster relief that goes to places like puerto rico and islands around it is being shifted and where it is being shufted is where the true insult is. the money is being shifted to help fund efforts to return migrants. let's bring in former democratic thank god i don't have you with swirling winds all around you. thank god it won't be the worst case scenario. what is the state of reality for many of the places not in and around san juan but just outside

there, up in the hills. how vulnerable is it still? what are your concerns even with these type of storm effects? >> look, ten of thousands of people lost their electricity today in the metropolitan area. and dorian really didn't hit the island of puerto rico with any forcefulness. let's remember, chris, 30,000 people still go to bed every night -- not 30,000 people. let me correct myself. there are 30,000 homes in puerto rico where people go to bed every night and they have a blue tarp as a roof. can you imagine it would have been a category 5 if 70-miles-per-hour winds would have hit for those 30,000. this is two years after maria. the electrical system here is still very weak and vulnerable. so, i've been here living for five months. let me say four times the electricity has gone out at my

residence. the water stops flowing because you need electricity for the water to flow to your house, for the generators. so, look, it's very fragile. there are still schools that are closed. there are still people that are unemployed. and there are still hundreds of thousands of people who wish to return to the island. it's a very fragile situation. but we're restill yent. we're working starts a better future. it would be good to hear that the most powerful, the richest nation in the world would want to help in that recovery. >> he says i gave you 90 billion -- >> maybe a 10th of that money has reached the island of puerto rico. >> right. >> it's time. i want to say one parentheses, thank you american people for your generosity. there are so many generators that people have turned on, so many new schools, so many beautiful places that have been

rebuilt because of your generosity. >> there should be. you're part of the country. everybody treats puerto rico like it's its own country. you guys are part of the country. we should help. americans should help with had we can. you should help your own and that's what's happening here. the president says -- here's the problem, lewis. you have a corrupt local government down there and he's been better to you than anybody and you guys aren't back on your feet because the local authorities there are corrupt, they're the worst, and they're taking the money and that's why he's slowing any kind of relief because there's a bunch of crooks down there. >> yeah, well, i guess we gave a lesson in what it is you do in a very democratic nonviolent fashion here on the island of puerto rico when we had a governor that the people felt betrayed them, that was leading a corrupt administration. what did we say? you're fired. not 10,000, not 50,000, not 100,000, by the hundreds of thousands. we did so in a very consistent

way until the governor understood that he had to resign. you don't see that. so, we know how to take care of corruption here on the island of puerto rico. and guess what. this is a president of the united states that has a failing golf course, chris. a failing golf course which is -- it's losing what, 70% of its revenue from two years ago. and what does he say? we should have the g7 there. and even if he doesn't have the g7, how many people did he advertise it to when he said that? that's corruption, chris. do you know what corruption is? when the legislative branch of government says you can't have the money for more beds and detention and separating families and then he takes emergency relief money and let's hope florida doesn't need it, let's hope no one needs it, but $155 million in federal relief money and you put it and send it to the border without any congressional. and lastly, let's be clear. this is the president of the united states that "the washington post" today reported is telling government officials

and those under him go ahead and build that ball, violate the law if you have to, and i will pardon you. that's corruption at the highest level. >> all right. >> the people of puerto rico are good, decent, hardworking people. we're resilient, and i want to say we're going to lead. >> well, i hope that the situation down there is not made that much worse by the storm that is you're dealing with now and the impact afterwards on what is certainly the truth, that it is a vulnerable infrastructure to begin with. thank you for your perspective as always. be safe down there. the best to your family. >> thank you, chris. >>. all right. another 2020 democratic drop out and there's several other dems dealing with the fact they're not going to make the cut for the next debate. you don't get out there. you don't get to make the pitch. you don't get the donors. you don't get the headlines. cycle continues. what does it mean that senator gillibrand is next?

that's gross priceline. every trip is a big deal. and then there were 20. senator kirsten gillibrand withdraws from the presidential race and is expected to endorse some other candidate. we don't know when. could it be the former vp who is leading? there's another new poll, quinnipiac is respected, look at the new numbers. these are much closer to what we saw in the cnn poll. they seem more reflective of the state of play. all polls are snapshots. when you see one that sticks out like that, it makes you curious and it's interesting this next poll seems to be more consistent. you see the numbers there. it's basically what it has been. biden is there, warren is making moves. she's now up a skoesh on sanders beyond the moe there, the margin of error. you see harris with the big

slip, buttigieg holding, and yang, impressive given he's an outsider. he's at 3. let's bring in the wizard of odds. how big of a deal is it that gillibrand is out? >> i think it gives you a pretty good understanding of the state of play and these are the ten candidates who qualified for our september debate. tonight was the deadline so there will be no more. unless there's a poll that drops in the next 2 1/2 hours, there will be no more. we're not expecting a poll. these are the ten. of course you notice gillibrand is not on the list. and there are a bunch of other candidates not on the list as well. i wouldn't be surprised if there isn't another candidate that drops out over the next few weeks before the abc news debate because debates are lifeline to aa candidate. without money, you can't run a presidential campaign. >> and in terms of -- let's unpack it a little bit now. if she's now, it says something about what is working and what isn't, especially in the context

of this new patrol from quinnipiac. >> one thing i should point out, the poll looks a lot like the other ones. i took an average of the probability standards. biden up by double digits. warren, 18%, sanders 15%. >> if you measure the last four polls, this is a poll of polls. >> this is a poll of polls. it's an average of polls. this is what you do, sometimes you catch outliers like that. it's good we have outliers. it shows the pollster is doing a legitimate job. 19 out of 20 times you'll be within the margin of error. >> what's impressive to you about quinnipiac? you see warren on top of sanders. mammoth had sanders on top of warren. senator sanders likes to say, you people in the polls, don't bother me with polls, he has one poll that comes out, he's flashed it all over his social media account. what do you mean, think of quinnipiac moving up with her on sanders. could it be another assessment basically with the plus minus of

5? >> i think if you look at the average, you see she's leading. this is an important thing, chris. the poll based upon how much attention you're paying to the campaign. if you're paying a lot of attention to the campaign, we see warren very close to biden, 32, 25, sanders all the way back there, and that's a sign of the momentum. those paying attention like warren. >> i don't understand two things, one, i don't understand how if you're doing it a lot, you like him less than if you're not paying attention that much and how his numbers are the same. biden's all the way across. >> part of this is an age issue. he does better among older voters. they tend to be the ones paying the most attention. elizabeth warren does well with college-educated voters. sanders voters are those without a college degree as well as younger voters so it's not surprising here he does best in the some or little to none category. >> what's your other big point? >> this is the same story that we've had this entire campaign, right? joe biden trailing in that liberal lane by a lot to elizabeth warren. down by 19 points.

but look at this, this moderate to conservative lane which makes up 50% of the party, this is the big chunk, look at this biden well out ahead, 41%, warren back at 13. as long as he has that lead, he's going -- >> he's like twitter is not the democratic party, it's an amplification of the fringe voices on the outer left of it. i'm like please. when that harvard study came out that said that 80-something percent of democrats are center left, not very liberal, that was the end of this argument. that was the end. one other interesting thing, it is interesting that why he -- while he has this big lead over these two, all of them beat this president, kind of the same way. >> take a look at this. consistency in the trump number, 38 to 40%. that's generally where his approval rating has been. he can't seem to get above that number. that's big trouble for him. >> he wants to make jokes about gillibrand and people that drop

out saying that's the one i was afraid of. he needs to be afraid of this. >> donald trump has an electability problem at this point. >> 100%. appreciate it. >> shalom. >> shalom. who's next to go? is harry right? if you're not on that debate stage, can you kiss your dreams good-bye? we'll use it as a starting pount in the great debate. which way will their party go? they know. you get unlimited data while on a network that goes further than ever before. use as much as you want. when you want. a netflix subscription on us. stream all your favorite movies and shows. and for a limited time. buy any samsung galaxy note 10 and get one samsung galaxy note 10 for free. that's right. get one samsung galaxy note 10 for free.

if they're not getting on the debate stage, not raising money, they're not going to be able to compete with the front runners. but gillibrand drops out means what? what is going to dominate the choice of that party. that's the start of tonight's great debate. good to see you both, gentlemen. significance of you of gillibrand dropping out? >> i certainly didn't see it coming. i thought she would be a first-tier credible candidate. she's a good fund-raiser, she's a good campaigner. but the campaign was going nowhere. i do this -- i never tell people to run for office or to get married because i don't have to wake up with the consequences. i respect her decision, i'm not sure that i share it. because i don't like -- i'm different. i don't like the field being winnowed this early. 158 days before the first citizen gets to vote, 158 days to put that into perspective, 31 days before the iowa caucuses in

2004 john kerry was a weak 5th place in the polls. 31 days later he gained 33 points in the polls and won iowa solidly and went on to be the nominee. this stuff is going to break late. i think these candidates that are driven out of the race too early, it's a shame. it's not good for the party. >> you know, gillibrand i would argue, this is somewhat subjective, she's the first candidate who was seen as one of the strong progressive, farther left players with name recognition -- and paul's right. she wasn't doing great in the polls. she didn't equal for the for the next set of debates -- to drop out. if you conflate that with what we see in the cnn poll, quinnipiac, those from the center and the left are putting most of their chips on biden. do you see her dropping out as a trend that the party is going to start moving back towards the center candidates? >> well, i disagree with the sentiment that somehow kirsten gillibrand is a far-left

candidate. in fact, i believe kristen gillibrand when she was in the united states house was considered to be a blue dog krat. she is very, very, very pregive now. let's not confuse that or conflate that. but she's nowhere near in line with the ideology of elizabeth warren or bernie sanders. but i will say this. elizabeth warren is one of the candidates when they filed to run for president of the united states, you looked on paper and said, um, she has a chance to actually win the nomination. now her odds may have been pretty long. however, on pauper she had a legitimate chance to be president of the united states or at least win the nomination, and she's the first person running for president who had a legitimate chance to win the nomination to get out of the race. i disagree with paul. i'm ready for us to get down and start really cooking in the kitchen. i think we need to get down to about eight to ten, those eight to ten that are on stage. >> we haven't done the grocery shopping yet. why do you want to be in the kitchen cooking? we haven't even grown the crops

much less go to the store to buy them. >> listen, what we need to do is go on line, order them, and pick them up on the way. there are a lot of ways we can do this. i'm ready to get down to the bear nuk bare knuckle nt talent we have. in our party with some people who will never win the nomination. >> let's let the male metaphor die. i think this is what you guys are dealing with, and whether it's 158 days or 15.8 days out, the reason biden does so well in so many polls is because the party's composition is largely center left and when you look at your party through that lens, he gets the support of people, the farther toward the center you go, the more support he gets. he actually even gets some republican support. i don't know if that's real. i don't know if they would pull a lever for him, but they're saying that that would. however, the amplification by the media and social media and what we see in the debates and how they're covered is about the farther left you are the more attention you get.

how do you guys reconcile? >> i think it's a great point. at the beginning of the year, a survey was done of both parties and 58% of democrats said they want their party to be more moderate. a solid majority of republicans want their candidate to be more conservative. i don't know what's going on on their side of the fence. you're right. one of the hidden causes of this is this emphasis on small donors. we don't like big money taking over politics. that's right. when the party set that as a metric for getting into the debate, it empowered some of the most progressive and committed folks in our party and it drew -- to raise money online, to raise money through emails, you have to be i think morn the progressive side of things. you don't raise a lot of money online with a moderate centrist message. and i think that was unintended. i think it could still change. and i would add one more metric, registered voters.

that's not left, right, or center. that's just good for america, good for all of us. i would rather make that a metric rather than polling which is ephemeral. >> you got somewhat of a population of center mind set. just in terms of what the metrics are. but that's not the narrative right now because people want a warrior. i keep hearing it on my show. the younger the lefty is on my show, the more he or she wants a warrior. i had someone say i don't want biden to be working with the ruth. i want them to bend to our will. and it's interesting because i think the candidate that you support, senator kamala harris, represented that for people. she was a fighter. she went out there and the favorite joe biden got rocked on his heels by her in the first debate. but then she tanked and i don't

understand why. what's your read on that? >> it's early. that's why. she's going to have some of the most elasticity of any candidate we see -- >> why will she have the most elasticity? >> it's already been proven. she started out when she announced her campaign very high. she came back down and settled down to 8 or 9. after the first debate she came back down to 8 or 9. she rests now in fourth place. that's not a bad place to be going into the labor day weekend. i don't think there's panic whatsoever. she's in a better position because i will tell you this -- while we're having these deboughts and they sound extremely illuminating about left, right, center, or otherwise, the people who choose the democratic nominee are african-american voters, particularly african-american female voters, period. we can talk about left, right, center, warrior, not warrior, but african-american voters will choose the nominee. i will remind people of this. in october there was a cnn

headline, october 2007 that said that black voters helped hillary clinton extend the lead. she was up by 25 plus vote percent with total black voters over barack obama. things can change especially after iowa. that's where we are. >> that's the heart of the party. the heart of the republican party, i appreciate it, is white chris yan evangelicals. the part of our party are the people of color that bah carrie is talking about, especially women. the first strategy we had bill clinton, before sellers was born. the path to the democratic nomination runs through african-americans especially in the south. that is still true today. i'm glad we start in iowa. i love iowa. i love new hampshire. once we get to south carolina, that's where we're going to be picking our nominee. >> it's very interesting because it's an -- it's almost a paradox for you guys. you need african-american women

to win in that party yet we have seen them be with people and it hasn't been the factor. more often than not it's going to weigh in in a split field. you still have to decide in the idea of we're going to go with progressive ideas or get us back to a return of normal and does not shake up people, does not introduce risk. thank you very much as always. the president spent this morning taunting americans who were prepping for disaster. i'm talking about puerto rico. then he claimed he's the best thing that ever happened to him. i don't spend a lot of time on this show going after what the president says. i don't think it's helpful. if i have to tell you what he says is obnoxious, you're never going to believe that anyway. what he does as an echo of those things must be sold to you az voter and his campaign's national press secretary is here to do just that next.

you could argue that the president has staked his re-election on two things, the economy where some signs are strong and there are some warning signs as well. and the wall.

i don't even say immigration. i really say the wall because what real meaningful change in our policies can he point to except a tone of harshness and that wall. now, there's a matter of dispute about how much new fencing he has built. if you look at it, all the fencing being built was planned to be built before he went into wall mode. so why is he saying look how much wall i'm building? look how it's going? does that matter to you? does any of this matter to you? let's get with the campaign, kayleigh mcenany, the national press -- campaign press secretary is here with us to make the argument. always a pleasure. thank you. >> thanks, chris. >> so let's just tick through some of these things. i didn't understand the puerto rico play. i know he gets hit, he hits back. you know i don't accept that rationale, not from a president of the united states. but why when they have a hurricane coming down on them, start going after them for being

corrupt and how he's the best thing that ever happened to them. why do that then? >> because he's fighting for the people of puerto rico by calling out the corrupt politicians. i think it speaks for itself when there are 375 public corruption convictions over a 10-year period. we have a hurricane coming. there were misused funds last time around. we don't want to see that happen this tame around. the president delivered the largest fema response effort ever. these corrupt politicians must use these resources on the people, bottom line. >> nobody is going to argue with that. however, what they will argue with are the facts which is, one, he didn't pass it, congress did. he was against it. he fought it. he tried to slow walk it, and now he lies about the number. he keeps coming up with this 90-plus number. you know it's nowhere near that. why? why not tell the truth? >> he has signed into law tens

of billions of dollars of funding in the $91 billion number comes from estimated projections of what will be provided to puerto rico over time. >> but it's based on an unknown of whether you need it over the next decade-plus. it makes no sense to use that number. >> you're entirely missing the point though, that this was the largest fema operation in the history of this country, the longest air mission in the history of this country, the biggest disaster distribution  operation in the history of this country. >> are you missing the point, that he fought people wanting to do more for them and they're not near back on their feet and they're a part of this country? and it's on his watch? >> there's been enough done for james lee wit, the fema district of bill clinton saying this president gets an a plus on his fema response effort. that's straight from bill clinton's fema director. the facts don't lie. >> who cares? he could work for bill clinton and be dead wrong.

there are 30,000 homes that have blue tarps on them. they have people losing power today for no good reason. thank god dorian wasn't anything meaningful to them, not yet anyway. we'll see what happens on the back end of the storm. why does he talk about a place that's part of this country that way? why would he talk about swapping it for greenland? why? >> because there are corrupt politicians there. that's who he's targeting. notice in husband tweet he doesn't talk about the people of pouerto rico. he talks about the politicians. >> since when is corruption something he goes after hard and heavy? >> he always goes after corruption. when we give money to puerto ricans, and federal officials find stockpiles of unused -- >> he goes after corruption hard and heavy? >> of course he does. >> he just suggested having the g7 at his own golf course. he's got an administration that's littered people who don't know how to keep their hands out of their own pockets and he's about corruption. >> i'm happy to go into corruption. because we got a lot to talk about obama from spying on u.s. citizens within the trump campaign.

these are things we never get to talk about on here. >> you can use whatever words you want. you don't have the facts to back it up. >> i do have the facts to back it up. >> this is from a president who won't show his taxes. are you kidding? >> this is a president that has things made up about him as happened last night on msnbc pertaining to his finances. >> you see the letters on the bottom of the screen? they say cnn. if i didn't say it, i don't want to talk about it. i don't want to report that story. it was out there. we go with the facts, i don't need anything else. if he had nothing to hide about his money story, why doesn't he release his taxes? why doesn't he release proof he's under audit. >> he's under audit. he's not going to play into your hands and give you his taxes. >> play into my hands? >> if we want to talk about what happened on cnn, the last hour, you took words from the press secretary, from an entirely different interview talking about how the president often talks in gist and played a juxtaposed against a story with the president talking about

people breaking the law and acting as if that quote pertained to that story. >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> it happened last hour. this is what the media does. >> see the name of the show. "cuomo prime time," if you want to talk about your friend, i want to know why she says he couldn't make it to the climate meeting because he was having meetings with germany and india when they were at the meeting. i want to know why they hang their case against brian karam on a statement they had with a secret service agent she said didn't exist. if you want to talk about her, fine. >> you should be thanking stephanie who fought with reporters in north korea, north korea security guards to get reporters access to fought to get more reporters access than any other nation at the g7. >> after they pulled brian's press pass because they didn't like him having an argument with one of their friends. >> yeah, because the president had left and he started bullying -- >> bullying? did you see the video? >> yes, i did. >> please. >> he was confronting a guest of the white house -- >> that is not close to a fair

representation. here's the proof of it. here's the proof. you want to talk about bullying? how about this, kayleigh mcenany, i can't have you on the show anymore, because you're not working for me anymore. you're not working for me anymore. i thought you worked for me. when people used to ask you about me, you'd say good things, now you're being fair, now you're pushing back. that's what he said about fox news. you talk about bullying. >> the president is not bullying anyone. >> really? >> the president is lied about constantly time and time again. >> on fox news? >> he's frustrating with media coverage. he's frustrated with media coverage. he's fighting for the people in his movement. he didn't say fox news should work for him. >> fox isn't working for us anymore. >> this is more fake news. literally in the last 24 hours you take them out of context. >> i'm not taking anybody out of

context. >> lies about the president and our campaign manager. this is why harvard, by the way, says 90% of the news coverage of the president is negative. not my words, harvard's words. >> no. harvard said 90% of the coverage is negative. he didn't say why. the why is his mouth and his actions. if he didn't lie -- >> he doesn't lie. >> if he didn't make it okay to be bigoted. >> he doesn't lie. the press lies. >> you don't look at fox news and call it state tv and people aren't going to call you out for being unfair to the media organization. >> guess who lies. the press lies. >> you don't think the president has lied? >> let me finish, chris. i don't think the president has lied. >> you don't think he's lied to the american people? >> no. >> your credibility will be shot with my audience. >> i think msnbc has lied to the american people. i think the press has lied to the american people. >> has the president lied to the

american people? >> jim comey literally testified before congress under oath that a "new york times" story was false and not true and the russia reporting was false. for two years you talked about russian. all lies about this president. >> did russia interfere in the election? >> there was no collusion. >> did russia interfere in the election? you're very smart. >> was there collusion? >> yes. collusion is a behavior, not a crime. you learned that in law school. here's what they did. this president went out there stoking their efforts. his son took a meeting he should have never talken. it was beyond the line of stupid. >> conspiracy theories here. >> they went to the meeting. it's collusive behavior. was it a crime? no. i never said it was. >> there was no coordination. >> thaw interfered and you can't even mention it. who's the guy that should be in the g7 and fights with our allies about it. he stands next to them on the

world stage and says he takes his word for it against his own intel agencies. >> chris, you continue to play up the russian conspiracy theory -- >> i never mentioned any kind of collusion conspiracy. >> he's going to win again. >> i never said he shouldn't have won. i never said his election was not what it was. he won the election. >> you moved on from russia to recession and you never -- >> kaylee, do you believe this president has lied to the american people? >> no! >> wow! you just blew that out of my head. >> do you believe the fake news media has lied? >> the interview is over. if you can't admit the president has lied to the american people, you will not have credibility with the audience. >> the fake news lies. >> you've got a long way to go. when the president is telling the people every day not to believe in the free press -- >> he has more allies than any president in history. >> he is to blame for sewing the

seeds of division. >> he just did a 40 minute press in 90 degree weather. >> so what? >> the president gives access and you take lie about everything he says. >> i have never lied about this president in my life. you may not like what i say. that doesn't make it a lie. he lies all the time and you know it. >> go watch your last hour. taking stephanie grisham out of context and putting one story with another. >> show me what i lied about. >> it was not true. >> i'll give you a prize. you admit the truth about him, i'll give you two prizes. but you're still welcome on the show. >> i don't need prizes from the fake news media. >> you may have hurt me in inviting you back because if you can't admit he lied these people are never going to believe you. >> you should take a look in the mirror. >> i do and i don't like these lines. thanks for coming on the show.

i disagree with decency. you can't say this president doesn't lie to you. you can argue why he lies, how you feel about his lies, but if you can't admit that, the conversation is dead. i'm sorry, but it is. let's go back into the time machine, the days before everybody lies every two seconds. remember what used to piss people off about a president? let me give you a hint. it was about what he wore that was the big cur flufl five years ago. oh how things have changed. can you imagine? next. beep goes off ] now that you have new dr. scholl's massaging gel advanced insoles with softer, bouncier gel waves, you'll move over 10% more than before.

56 years ago dr. king gave his i have a dream speech during the freedom march in washington and it endures to this day. maybe now just as valuable as ever, if not more. different context for how far we've come or not come. five years ago, the president of the united states shocked the world. the fashionistas on fox, not quite state tv back then. they were all over. here's some of what "now this" found. >> one of the ugly est suits in

the history of america. >> who talked him into wearing a tan suit? they're debt pratt for poll numbers. they'll do anything. >> it didn't fit. >> d. lemon, other presidents have worn tan suits, by the way. >> reagan. >> one of my producers here -- reagan, clinton, eisenhower. i mean, look, it's not a very common thing, i get it. men tend to wear the gray or the blue because we're limited in our understanding of what power can be conveyed as. he wasn't the first, but boy, what a difference five years makes. no existential battles, people refusing to admit thousands and thousands of lies. then it was a suit. >> this is just in the last -- i did this while you were doing -- the last six days he made 48 falls claims, in the last six days. think about it. i can't believe i don't even bother any more with that because you'll never get --

you'll never get a real direct answer from someone like that. >> she said no. you can't get more direct than that. >> she has no credibility, chris. she's a nice woman. she used to be on this show as well as other cnn shows all the time. but someone like that has no credibility, and the audience -- look, put whoever you want on your show. i'm not -- this isn't chastising you, but the audience gets nothing from her because she does not tell the truth. think about it -- >> barack obama -- hang on, hang on. wiretapping trump tower, that is not true. >> what did he say when he talked about puerto rico and all the aid he gave to puerto rico? this is just in the last couple days. he said they built new wall. no new wall has been built. he lies all the time. >> it is the campaign pitch of this election. the democrats are talking about 50 different ways to slice the pie on single payer health care, which one may be the most bigoted in their past.

that's what they'r going to be up against. if they're not ready to take it on, if they don't hear it, they don't understand how many people receive t they're going to wind up in the same position they are now in another four years. >> remember the tape of people cheering after 9/11? no, you didn't, because it never happened. >> of course. >> do you remember when president barack obama was not born in the united states? i mean, oh, that was -- >> i had one of his guys the other night. i don't know why he didn't show the birth certificate sooner. >> he showed it right away. it was the short form. >> all b.s. it's frustrating. i know you have to go. i'm going to talk about biden's poll numbers, his support among african americans, some interesting things on that. new forecasting for dorian tonight in my broadcast. >> need it. see you in a second. now, listen, the point is you don't have to argue about what the president says. you have to look at what he does. may he rest in peace, senator mccain was right in a very early appraisal of this president. i don't care about his noise. i don't like it, i don't need to like it. i look at what he does. let's look at that just from

all right. a sigh of relief in puerto rico tonight, but another lesson in leadership that should be a lens on the upcoming election. with dorian bearing down on p.r., this president decided to attack that part of our country. wow, yet another big storm heading to puerto rico. will it ever end? congress approved $92 billion for puerto rico. i'm not going to be outraged by his ugly words. if you need me to tell you that his words are obnoxious you're never going to believe they're obnoxious. i'm not even arguing to his constant negative truth abuse like saying puerto rico got $92

billion in hurricane relief. it's a big fat falsehood. so far $40 million has been allocated to puerto rico. about 12 billion has actually been spent. no, it isn't some simple slip. it isn't explainable. it's a constant contorsion. and no, he isn't just fighting back. he's beating up fellow citizens with less power than he has and who are already beaten down. he ignored thousands of dead. he ignored thousands of homes still covered in blue tarps after maria. he blames their corruption, but it is his actions that i argue he should worry about because for this president and the upcoming election, the challenge will not be justifying his mouth, it will be justifying his actions. he took away some of the money set aside for disaster relief, about $155 million, that places like puerto rico and other islands in the area that we're responsible for deskbratly need. look at parts of that place. that's the reality. that's america, okay. that's what puerto rico is, it's a territory of ours.

and that's what it looks like two years later. why did he take that money from natural disaster victims? to help pay to deport immigrants. but again, it's not the talk. the idea that there is a brown menace, the idea the wall is a panacea, the talk is absurd. but the action of shutting down the government to fund that wall, promising to pardon anyone who breaks the law in furtherance of just getting it done, this is not about how you spend what comes out of this president's mouth. it's about understanding the actions that he takes and what he says is leadership you should want. the base is not enough. how many of you either independent, undecided or just open minded, how many of you will see the actions of just this one day as proof of what you want in a president? thank you for watching. cnn tonight, d. lemon right now. >> so, last night at midnight, what did i text you? >> that you got
