tv Cuomo Prime Time CNN September 11, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT
6:00 pm
president on 9/11 laid a wreath at the memorial and he was joined by former defense secretary donald rumsfeld. at the memorial near shanksville, pennsylvania, vice president pence honored those who died on flight 93, the crew and passengers, as you know, fought back against the hijackers and protected our nation's capital. in new york where the flights slammed into the world trade center, bells were rung, the footprints of the twin towers. loved ones red a solemn roll call of the dead. 9/11, 18 years later, we remember. the news continues, we want to go to chris for "kwcuomo primetime." >> always a tough day and it should always be that way. >> we have breaking news tonight. our asylum laws were just changed by the supreme court and it could keep a lot of people from ever having a chance to
6:01 pm
come to america. we'll get reaction from a key u.s. senator tonight for the next step for the country on that case and his role in a potential gun deal. and we have brand new numbers to show you on the eve of the next debate eve. someone is closing in on joe biden. and as anderson was telling you and should need to reminder, it is 9/11. i want us to recall what was supposed to be learned and what i fear has been forgotten. as ever, i am so sorry for those who are pained by this day. we must always remember. let's get after it. so the supreme court is now allowing this administration to shut the door to many central americans seeking asylum while the legal fight over that case continues. the case is styled or named barr
6:02 pm
versus east bay sanctuary covenant, and you can look it up. but it is really trump versus them. the new rule would prohibit migrants who have resided in or traveled through third countries, those people now cannot seek asylum in the u.s. if they decline to request protection at the first opportunity. in other words, they have to ask and be denied asylum in places like guatemala or mexico first. now, i know senator richard blumenthal is among those not happy with this decision. let's bring in the judiciary committee member about this and his big role in a potential gun deal. senator, thank you for joining, especially on this day. >> thank you, chris. >> what is your case against this case? as we both know and you know this very well as an established prosecutor, but for the public, you are supposed to seek asylum in the first available forum. >> the rule that the
6:03 pm
administration is trying to implement is in fact you have to seek asylum in the country that you travel through before seeking asylum here. think for a moment what that would have meant during world war ii. my dad came to this country in 1935 seeking to escape persecution in germany. he would have been required first to seek asylum in those european countries that he traveled through, as would have been many other asylum seekers and refugees. he was 17 years old, he spoke no english, had not much more than the shirt on his back. this country gave him a chance to succeed. the people covered by this rule barred from seeking asylum here are similarly seeking to escape persecution, violence, condoned by the governments in their countries, drug trafficking and threats and this kind of rule contravenes the spirit, if not the letter of this law and the intent of congress in passing it. >> well, let me hold on the
6:04 pm
spirit for one moment. i want to address that. i accept your premise and i surrender the point on what it would have meant for people like your father to have to travel to other european countries, but it's why that would have been an undue burden on him. it was because those countries would have been similar threats to him because of their vulnerability at that time. can you make the same constructive argument here? do you believe that mexico is such a dangerous place that people in central america that are contiguous to it, next to it, shouldn't have asylum there? >> mexico already is a dangerous place for asylum seekers. >> g-20 country. >> as the president himself has outlined, the human traffickers, the gang warlords, the geographic distances in the place itself and the potential for exploitation make it dangerous. but it would be even more so if mexico had to deal with every one of the asylum seekers coming
6:05 pm
or seeking to come to this country. >> we have heard reports just to boot strap your point from dhs and cvp that tijuana and other places where people have been waiting have been getting more and more dangerous, and that those people, there has been a predation on people waiting to get into this country. things are getting worse because of volume. >> that is exactly right, chris. as the volume increases and mexico loses control potentially of its own asylum process and parts of the country right now are essentially lawless, those asylum seekers become more and more at the mercy of the human traffickers and drug cartels that would seek to exploit them for many and for other serious criminal victimizations. >> so the appeal is going to be on that basis, having read some of the early pleadings, that these countries are similarly situated and there is no safe forum until these people seeking
6:06 pm
asylum come to the u.s. i really do believe, though, that the ultimate remedy should be legislative. of course that depends on the ability of you guys to make a deal. segue on that point. you're supposedly working with senator lindsey graham to get something done on guns. the house passed some more bills, a red flag variety and another background variety. do you believe you can work with senator graham and get something done with this president? >> i absolutely believe that lindsey graham, the chairman of the judiciary committee is a serious and diligent partner, after months of negotiation of crafting and drafting a bill, we are on the verge of introducing a measure that preserves due process but takes guns away from people who are dangerous to themselves and others. i'm very proud to be from the state of connecticut that
6:07 pm
enables a police officer or other law enforcement official to go to court, particular a gun away from someone who is about to commit suicide or kill a spouse or intimate partner, as well as commit a mass shooting, like parkland, where as lindsey graham says, the shooter all but took out an ad in the newspaper. and i believe that due process is preserved by the subsequent hearing. we've carefully crafted this law to provide grants and incentives so more than just the 18 states that have them now will follow connecticut's lead, and i think the white house and specifically the president, would be denying an overwhelming seismic political dynamic, 90% of the american people favor this. >> but senator mcconnell won't move on unless the president says he will. the president has vacillated on this. does lindsey graham, who has been unapologetic in terms of affixing himself to this president in terms of what the president wants, does he believe this president will come on board? >> lindsey graham is a pretty
6:08 pm
good advocate. he's an experienced trial lawyer, as i am. he knows how to make the case. and i think what is as important as lindsey graham's advocacy is the overwhelming numbers of american people, almost 90%, that support emergency risk protection orders and they work. they save lives. as do universal background checks and our goal is to do both, speaking for myself, together because both keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. >> does lindsey want universal background checks? >> i'm not going to speak for lindsey graham. >> i will. no. >> i think there is a seismic, political dynamic, a political movement generated by groups like every town for gun safety, moms demand action, students demand action, brady, giffords and many other groups across the country that i think has gotten the attention of the white house, as well as my colleagues in the senate. but it will be the president who
6:09 pm
has to lead or get out of the way. >> no question about it. you know he's not going to get out of the way because it got to be about him on some level. but you talk about this is an unusual situation because you have a consensus in the country that isn't being echoed by its representatives in terms of action. now, one last question for you, senator, because there's another issue like that but the reverse is true. there's this big impeachment vote tomorrow to give the house more tools to go forward with what seems like an impeachment inquiry. they're playing with the language, they're playing with the objective. you do not have a national consensus on people wanting impeachment. what do you think of that vote tomorrow? >> the house should move forward with its investigation, call it an impeachment inquiry, call it an investigation, oversight. what's important is that the american people see and hear what the president has done in violating the law. and it's not only what mule are found in his investigation, it's also his defines -- defiance of
6:10 pm
the constitution which i've shown in the lawsuit i've brought, in the emoluments clause, there is a pattern of law breaking, the house has to vindicate it. i hope it will. just on the issue of bipartisanship, part of my hope for this gun legislation is the fact that we did achieve a bipartisan compromise on immigration reform. just a few years ago lindsey graham and i and others helped to lead in an overwhelmingly passed measure that reformed a broken immigration system. so you're absolutely right. we need legislation and it's time for us in the senate to come together and end the epidemic of gun violence just as we must end the epidemic of vaping. >> on a day like this i'm not going to be the enemy of optimism and maybe there is a carry through on if they want to protect kids from something that could be a danger from
6:11 pm
e-cigarettes, maybe they'll see the same rationale in dealing with guns. thank you for fighting these fights. they matter to your constituents and the country. >> thank you. >> it is the eve of the next big debate. we have a new reading of the pulse of democratic voters. there's one person you're going to really want to watch tomorrow because when she is on stage with the former v.p., joe biden, for the first time, it could make all the difference. why? that takes us inside the numbers with the wizard of odds next. >> wiz! an amusement park... bill's back needed a vacation from his vacation. so he stepped on the dr. scholl's kiosk. it recommends our best custom fit orthotic to relieve foot, knee, or lower back pain. so you can move more. dr. scholl's. born to move. should always be working harder.oney that's why, your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value

(in dutch) it's happening..! just ok is not ok. especially when it comes to your network. at&t is america's best wireless network according to america's biggest test. now with 5g evolution.

6:16 pm
what does it mean going into tomorrow night, especially with biden and warren on the same stage? our wizard of odds has the answers. what do you see, handsome? >> well, it takes two to tango, my dear friend. look at this. this is the trend line. i think this is rather important. there's a noticeable trend from one of these candidates and that is for the senator from massachusetts. in may she was at 11%, then to 15 and now she's up to 18%. that is the largest amount of support we've conducted since late last year. >> bernie sanders said she's taking my ideas and riding the female momentum wave and people didn't know who she was and she's built up to the same place where i am and we're equal. >> i would say the reason why elizabeth warren is rising. look at this question. which is more important, a strong chance of beating trump or strong positions on the major issues? a strong chance for beating donald trump is the number one
6:17 pm
issue for democrats right now. they so desperately want to beat him. if you prefer a candidate who can beat donald trump, take a look at the movement we've had over the last month between now and august. we've seen biden fall on that. he's only getting 26 percent among that group versus 35% in august, versus warren has jumped from 15% in august to 21% now. she it seems is convincing more voters she can beat the president of the united states and that's a large reason why she's moving up versus sanders who is actually going backwards. >> give me in context how big tomorrow is. >> this is the whole question for me is whether or not elizabeth warren can break out from her base of support among white democratic voters because right now she's leading among whites. she's at 23%, biden's at 21%. take a look at hispanics and african-americans. elizabeth warren is in fourth place right now among african-americans, tied for fourth with 10% and among
6:18 pm
black -- >> why? >> multiple reasons why. white democrats tend to be more liberal, they tend to be better educated, that's where her base is. but it's more than that. it's also the fact that african-american democrats specific when i, who we keep honing in on, they love joe biden because they're more moderate and also because of his connection with barack obama. elizabeth warren is not connecting with them. >> here's the final question. when you have to balance this potential reality with what you put weight on, which is can i beat trump, how big a deal is it for them to see warren and biden on the same stage? >> this is huge. if she can convince them that she can beat donald trump and joe biden can't, that's the ball game. that's elizabeth warren as path to victory as well. >> shalom. >> shalom, brother. >> the president is now taking on the growing vaping crisis in america.
6:19 pm
that is good. with y but here's an interesting question. if the policy for intervening at this point is it seems like it's dangerous, we know kids are getting hurt and there seems to be a connection so let's act before anything else happens, why doesn't he apply that to gun violence? that will be the start of our great debate with these two great debaters next. applebee's handcrafted burgers now starting at $7.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood we're oscar mayer deli fresh your very first sandwich,m... your mammoth masterpiece. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives.

6:23 pm
so the trump administration is now moving to ban flavored e-cigarettes. why? concern for children. >> they're coming home and they're saying, mom, i want to vape. and the parents don't know too much about it, and nobody knows too much about it but they do know it's causing a lot of problems. and we're going to have to do something about it. people are dying with vaping. >> now, we can expect legal pushback from the companies. we've been through this before, but here's the debatable question for us tonight. the premise for action. you heard this president. people are dying. at least six people have died from lung illnesses linked to
6:24 pm
vaping, hundreds more are sick. but if the president is so concerned about something that's potentially lethal to kids and that seems like it's a danger, why doesn't that rationale apply to gun violence? that's the start of tonight's great debate. we have annika and we have steve cortez. if you agree with that premise that it should apply to gun violence, why? >> well, i think that it makes sense to legalize and regulate things. so i am not against getting rid of or banning all guns, but it makes sense to regulate, have common sense regulation for guns. the same goes for substances. banning substances has not worked out so well for americans or american history. we have imprisoned so many non-violent drug offender in our so-called drug war and at the same time after we've wasted so much in government resources in doing so, we created a black
6:25 pm
market. so people are going to turn to an unregulated black market where these drugs and in this case the e-cigarettes are much more dangerous and let me just note -- >> was it the same thing with guns? if you were to start really restricting access, you'd create a secondary market where certainly the bad guys would go. >> the whole point is to pass common sense regulation, robust gun role regulegulations, withon show loophole, the loophole that gives the fbi a maximum of three days to conduct a background check, there's a loophole when it comes to private sellers. the point common sense regulation. banning things does create a black market and this this case the fact that trump is so quick to go towards banning people. since people have died, all have been adults and they purchased the product on the streets, which means that we mean better
6:26 pm
regulation but banning it isn't going to solve the problem. >> let's stick with the through thread, steve. obviously people are concerned. and the president is picking up on that. he's got a great gut for sentiment sentimentality. why doesn't he follow it through if you got 90% of people who say all sales should be checked when this comes to weapons and who say we need red flag laws. if you have a reasonable, you got to have due process but if you have a reasonable suspicion that someone you know is in a bad way, you should remove their access and remove their weapons for a while, that has huge consensus in this country, too. why not follow the thinking through and pass those as well? >> right. and it does as long as there's due process. here's the problem i think with trying to draw the parallel here, chris, between vaping and guns. i'm not constitutional law scholar but when i read the bill of rights, i don't find vaping anywhere in there but right after thele very sacred first amendment is the equally sacred
6:27 pm
second amendment to bear arms. >> but it's that for some reason we keep forgetting the second part of that constitutional protection, which means we need -- you need gun control, well-regulated militia. i don't think that the situation we have in place right now is a well-regulated militia. there needs to be -- every single constitutional right has its limitations and in this case for some reason while we have even limitations on the first amendme amendment, we have a party in this country, the republican party, who refuses to acknowledge that there are meant to be limitations in the second amendment, well-regulated militia. let's repeat it again. well-regulated militia. >> if you're going to keep repeating that, you have to know what it means and the history of the context. >> i do know what it means? >> i don't think you do. a well-regulated militia at that
6:28 pm
time was any male who was healthy was considered a member of the militia. so every citizen is part of the militia by the definition of the constitution. >> i understand that. i'm talking about the well-regulated part. >> i'm a militiaman in that regard. >> i'm not questioning the militia part of it. i am talking about the regulation part of the constitution that for some reason everyone seems to forget. >> hold on. and that's my second point i'm going to get to here. we're not forgetting about that. for example machine guns have been illegal in this country for a hundred years. of course no right is absolute. we know that. we know, for instance, that you can surrender your rights, for example, the right to vote if you're a felon, in the case of guns, if you're a felon the right to own firearms. if you've had domestic crimes, you lose your right to arms. >> don't speak for the president. where do you get the idea he's
6:29 pm
okay with expanded background checks? >> no, with exploring it. >> what does that mean, exploring? >> and discussions are ongoing. we need to do it in such a way where it does not infringe on the constitutional rights. we not talking about vaping here. >> i don't know if you're a gun opener but let me tell you how the process works. when you go in there, they run a background check on you if you buy it at a gun store. why wouldn't you apply that same thing to all commercial transactions? >> it's only private transactions that are not subject to the nics laws. >> no, that's not true. when you go to gun shows, it doesn't count. >> if a dealer is at a gun show -- >> a lot of people are not dealers and are selling guns. >> let's talk about the efficacy for a moment. in the recent horrific shootings, particularly the ones of a few weeks ago in el paso and dayton. both of those people passed
6:30 pm
background checks. the idea that it's a panacea or a silver bullet -- >> the second weapon. >> just one simple point. what happened in odessa when he got dinged on the background check, he used the loophole and bought it privately. all transactions should be checked and he wouldn't have slipped through. >> i think that's a good idea and i think we're going to end up there and the president has said he is open to it. >> not if wayne lapierre keeps having conversations with him. while trump says he is for common sense gun legislation, he says this after every mass shooting, all that happens afterwards is wayne lapierre will pull him aside, have a conversation and remind him of the $30 million the nra spent on getting him elected and trump immediately changes course. i mean, the nra twitter account brags about it. they had a pinned tweet from wayne lapierre talking about
6:31 pm
their conversation. so, look, trump is easily corruptible. he might have the right instincts after a mass shooting but at the end of the day money talks and influence and that's why we don't get the regulation. >> ana cass pairian says it's not going to happen. do you think universal background checks will pass? >> i think red flag laws and that's a whole different can of worms. that worries me. i fear we're talking about local governments having far too much power to take away constitutional rights from individuals. but expanded background checks, yes, i believe it's going to happen. but i would caution people i do not believe that's going to solve the core problem of mass shootings. almost all of these mass shooters have gotten their guns either legally because they could pass background checks or they chose to get them illegally by stealing guns, for example, the sandy hook -- >> there is no silver bullet but we just had a shooting that
6:32 pm
would have been changed if all background checks were available. that's all i'm saying and that's a good start. ana kasparian and steve, good to have you back. >> thank you. >> the president spent this 9/11 conveying empathy and remembering what needs to be remembered on this day. then he started doing other things, trashing polls, trashing his latest top aide to exit this white house, john bolton. we're learning he could make a very unconventional pick to fill his role. we have reaction from a national security big wig in congress. what are his concerns on 9/11? what does he sees as the course forward next. roven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong.

. 9/11 plus 18 years, and we're learning tonight that this president may ask his secretary of state to pull double duty as the next national security adviser. congressman mike rodgers is a republican from alabama. congressman, it's good to have you on "primetime," especially today. >> thanks for having me. >> i hope we do it even more often. one of the reasons we have these different positions around the president is because you want checks and balances, people around him with different influences. does that reality give you any
6:37 pm
concerns about having someone fill two slots, even someone who i'm sure you hold in high esteem, like the secretary of state. >> yeah, i served with mike pompeo before he left to go to work with the administration. he's an incredible intellect and a great fella. but the president needs to have the kind of team he wants. it's not unprecedented for the kissinger model to be used where both secretary of state and national security adviser are one person. i think the president has to make a decision about whether or not that's going to fit his style. i don't think that he's made that decision yet. >> concerns given that this is your universe of thought about how safe are we, what should the policies be, you know, here we are 9/11, we have an incomplete team, we've been through three already, this will be the fourth, assuming that it's pompeo. any concerns about that? >> no, i think the president's got great instincts about what works for him and whether or not the workload can be managed by one person. this is a new story that's been circulating.
6:38 pm
i haven't heard the president say he wants to do this and i'm not sure mike pompeo would be comfortable about that, even if it was suggested. >> how do you feel about the state of our national security? >> i feel good. i feel proud we've made great strides, particularly when it comes to our homeland to keep us safe and secure, we have ap raut -- apparatus to prevent what happened 18 years ago. we've got, though, a very dangerous world out there, not just domestically but internationally with more threats than we had 18 years ago, so that's pretty sobering. >> certainly there is a danger without. more and more we've been hearing about the danger within. do you share concerns about the rise of extremist right-wing violence in this country? >> i sure do. we had a hearing yesterday in the homeland security committee talking about that very fact that while we have to keep our eye on these foreign threats,
6:39 pm
the growing threat here at home is disturbing and it's given rise to our paying a lot more attention to it. it's online radicalization and these rogue web sites have really energized an element of people that can cause us great problems if we don't find a way to deal with it. >> why now? >> it's just because it's growing. it has a lot to do with internet and social media and these web sites that are starting to use recruitment techniques that foreign terrorists used to use internationally, now these people are using it to radicalize here in the country. we had a report from the fbi in may that they currently have over 1,000 cases open on people on our soil that are terrorists, domestic terrorists that may be radicalized by foreign terrorist organizations or from a right-wing or left-wing groups here in the country.
6:40 pm
but this is a growing trend, and i think it has more to do with the way information is communicated than anything else. >> i don't understand the partisan apportionment on this thing. for us hate is hate, right? i'm sure you and i agree on that, but there seems to be a partisan instinct that says if we're going to talk about nazis or right-wing extremists you have to talk about people in antifa also. the killing is clearly coming from one aspect of this. why make it partisan? you don't own the right-wing extremists in the republican party. why not just focus on them instead of playing politics with it as we've seen from the president? >> that's not what i've seen. i know i didn't see it yesterday in our hearing. we had a great panel of tremendous experts. they painted a picture as one where we have to look at the complete spectrum. you're exactly right, the largest percentage of terrorism
6:41 pm
has come from right-wing groups butch we ha but we have to keep our eye on the full spectrum because the others are growing, too. i was tickled because i've been on the committee since it was established, when it was still a select committee and we generally aren't very partisan and yesterday there was no partisanship. we took this with a very sober approach and at the end of the hearing both the chairman and i made the comment this was one of the best hearings we ever had. we took it at americans and there was not a scintilla of partisanship in this hearing. >> that is a gift on 9/11 and hopefully an indication with a way forward. i'm allify wi iffine with you g having partisan fights, as long as it winds up with partisan ground for the rest of it. congressman mike rogers, you are always well ccome on this show talk about policy and what matters. be well, congressman. >> thank you. >> so just how far would you

6:47 pm
couple has come under fire for risking their lives just for effect. in april they posted themselves this picture in bali. take a look at it. do we have it? are you kidding me? can you zoom in on this a little bit for those of us who aren't eagles? i hope he's got a good grip. d. lemon, what's your tame on this? >> okay, here's my take. are they crazy! here's what i have to say. they are a beautiful couple. there is so much hate on social media that i don't want to hate this couple. i think they're a beautiful couple, it part of their brand. would i do it? hell to the no. i would not do it. >> so you're saying you are immune to the draw of doing the sensational to get attention on instagram. >> absolutely. >> you wouldn't do it? >> i don't care that much. would i hang over a mountain and let someone -- hell, no. i wouldn't even stand on the
6:48 pm
edge of that mountain. >> nothing close? not in you? >> not in me. that's nothing, that's jumping off the side of a boat. >> that is inherently dangerous. look at all the up and down, just the momentum of the belly alone increases the g-force. >> this is payback for last night. that's me with my family. my family came to town and my friends offered us to go on his boat. >> i didn't see any family. the guys up there were so scared, you scared off half their bathing suits. they're behind the -- you see my niece is back there. you can see them. >> i hear cries of help. what else do we got from d lemon's instagram that shows he'll do anything for a laugh. watch this. watch this. ladies and gentlemen, america's news anchor. >> you know that pool. that's my back yard! >> the pool's not the problem.
6:49 pm
it's the fool, not the pool. >> are you comparing that to hanging off the side of a mountain? >> oh, yeah. it's all relative. those people are like these young hard bodies. we're talking about guys like me and you. this is as dangerous as we get. >> i'm going to get you, sucker. >> don't make me hop after you. listen, i'm just saying as your friend, you need to keep it in check. it's not worth it, d lemon. >> don't you think it different from hanging off the side of a mountain? >> it's all relative. squeezing yourself into those tiny little swimming trunks you had on, fitting that extra pair of socks you had in there, too? >> you're paying me back for last night for saying you ate steroids for lunch. >> who did you say that to? >> jimmy kimmel says what does
6:50 pm
chris cuomo eat? just he just eat raw meat? and i said besides steroids? and i looked at the camera >> then he said, you guys must be friends in order for you to say that. so that's it. >> all right. >> but you didn't have to -- i'm going to start busting out your instagram. >> listen, i don't do dangerous things. >> really? >> not for attention. i just do them because i'm dumb. >> like when you're holding up your picture of the fish you took with your shirt off, and you're like, look at the picture of the fish. you can't even see the fish. all you can see is your bicep. >> that's on you. there's a fish in the picture. i have to go now. >> mark sanford is going to be on, the president's primary challenger. oh, stop it. don't be a hater. >> mark sanford at the top of the show. as we go to break, change of tone. it is good to smile. i love d. lemon, he makes my life better, especially on a heavy day. but i want us to look back at what we're remembering today,

6:55 pm
never forget. that's what we say about 9/11, right? certainly easy to say but tough to do. first, may i say how sorry i remain for the loss that far too many suffered on that day. i know it never goes away. i know this day can bring the blessing of an occasion to remember loved ones and often a haunting reminder of life-changing tragedy. and most of the day, both come at once. i was there. this dust or ash or amalgam was given to me by a friend who saw me there. some of it was on me, on all of us for days. the stories of heroism and loss and pain and confusion shaped me and so many personally and
6:56 pm
professionally. seeing the emptying of optimism on the faces of those ready to help when no injured came. the cold reality that so many were gone. the little hospital that did see hundreds in the first wave and rose to the challenge. amazing, the little hospital that could, nyu downtown. the days of searching and hoping and praying. the surrender to the reality that there was no miraculous discovery to be made, that so many being looked for were not in a hospital somewhere but exactly where you would never want anyone to be. what we all saw and heard and smelled as those buildings fell and that cloud, that dense, all-consuming cloud that seemed to contain every physical and emotional piece of contents, covered everything, and then fell at our feet and on our faces. the quiet, the cries, none of it
6:57 pm
will be forgotten. i would be engaged 11 days after 9/11, convinced that life was far too fleeting to wait. it was the best move of my life, and it came from a place of seeing such abject pain. it was made in a haze of unternsy that would be clarified again and again with the addition of each of our kids and the blessings of my life. a marriage and a family that bore testament for me to the possibility of better, that the fate had not surrendered outcomes of the only the darkest kind. we would get better, and there was better that came quickly to counter the worst. there was unfathomable amounts of positive response. the tremendous admiration for the many who gave their lives that day in saving whom they could, recovering those they couldn't. 2,977 gone, but remembered by family and in the commitment of those who went to fight for the rest of us to make sure this would never happen the same way
6:58 pm
again. there's never been, in my lifetime, a bigger demonstration of the best and worst mankind has to offer. 9/11, never forget. no one can who was there, and yet it has p to be much easier to say than to act on, hasn't it? look at the immorality and inequity and disgusting politics at play with the victims compensation fund. these men and women who spend so many billions in washington on things they can't even recall felt it right to shortchange those who served the rest of us on our darkest day. the heroes we lionize, that we trotted out everywhere for months and years, every big shot wanted a picture with a first responder. and then our leaders became the picture of betrayal. thankfully public shaming, some political will got the money to the victims of that day and the
6:59 pm
aftermath just to pay for treatments that forestalled the diseases that are killing them to this day and for years to come. never forget. 18 years on i would shift that motto to a positive opposite. always remember. the fragility of life, the need to stay connected to what happens here to anyone because there but for the grace, it could be you. and especially these days, we need always remember that the differences plaguing us now are meaningless relatively. we know real threats, and they should not come from our politics. tearing at our fabric is an thee ma to the momentum mending we went through after 9/11. it is a poison to what saved us in the days and weeks after. we came together. we were all in it together, and that was made so painfully obvious. always remember that. we have seen the worst, and we
7:00 pm
should always remember that the responsibility of living is to appreciate and make the most of what we have been gifted here in this country together. the freedom, the accommodations that some hate elsewhere, we must always embrace with so many so determined to take us down, we must always remember our presservation as a nation depends on us protecting one another. 9/11, never forget. always remember. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with d. lemon starts right now. >> well said. well put. i flew today, and i thought about it as i was getting on that plane this morning. it was just an ordinary day for me, right? i had to fly and come here and do -- or how many people on that day thought it was just an ordinary day. they were getting on an airplane, or they left their loved ones and then all of a sudden that happened. so it made me think about it much, you know, harder because i was actually flying into new york.
