6:00 pm
me or get a photo, then it's a failure. she's right. >> reporter: the campaign said it's an important way of growing grass roots support. >> we did wait for a selfie for a very long time and it's worth it to them and they've gotten a lot of mileage on social media. >> m.j. lee, cnn, new york. >> all right. the news, let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." i went home at 9:30. i was like what are these people waiting in line for? i thought it was a new ice cream store. >> that's always a chance. not an unreasonable assumption. >> thank you, my friend. welcome to "primetime." in my hand, new information about that whistleblower claim that the dni has not sent to the house intel committee. this is their explanation for
6:01 pm
why it's not going to happen. where it stands, what is likely to follow, we'll take you through it on our watch. today of the first impeachment hearing did hauling in the president's ex-campaign manager help or harm the democrats' potential be obstruction case? cuomo's court is about to convene. it's the perfect night for it. and if the president really loves hispanics, more than the country as he said last night, he sure has a warped way of showing it. we have a trump loyalist caught in the middle of the latest mega rally madness. and sean spicer drawing you a deep stage conspiracy after his "dancing with the stars" debut. we have some hard truths for our lime lad. what do you say? let's gets after it. all right. so look, on the impeachment front, democrats had to know what they were going to get from corey lewandowski at this first official impeachment hearing -- nothing but a fight. >> how many times did he direct
6:02 pm
you to deliver a message to a member of his cabinet? >> the white house has directed i not disclose any discussions with the president. >> did he ever discuss with you he may have committed a criminal offense? >> the white house has advised i not disclose any -- i recognize that the privilege is not mine. i'll be happy to answer your question or you can -- >> this is a house judiciary. >> nobody in congress has ever lied to the public. sorry. >> is that an admission you did lie? >> absolutely not. >> do you have a thought as to why we continue to engage in a charade that is overwhelmingly opposed by the american people and fundamentally misunderstood by my democratic colleagues? sfw >> i think they hate this
6:03 pm
president more than they do this country. >> there's also breaking news tonight on that subpoena issued by house intel chair adam schiff to the president's acting d. d.n.i., joseph maguire. his office has failed to comply with a whistle blowing request. let's bring court into session. asha, let's deal with this instant matter from the d.n.ni. the dni says it's sensitive to the executive branch, it's not about intelligence so you do to the get it, adam schiff. have you had a chance to see this letter? >> i've had a chance to review it briefly. here's the problem is that the law basically gives the inspector general the authority to determine when this information needs to be turned
6:04 pm
over to congress. it does not give the dni the opportunity to second guess that determination. and let's just remember the reason that congress has this oversight power over intelligence functions is precisely because of all of these abuses and deep state conspiracies that, you know, the trump administration tries to propaga propagate. in other words, if they believed all these things are happening in the intelligence community, there is oversight. this is how we get transparency. that's why we have this law to turn over whistleblower complaints so that congress can see exactly what is going on. >> so they say here the complainant raised the matter with the inspector general, the icig, and that's why the identity has been protected from others within the dni, we're not going to permit the complainant to be subject to -- that's the whistleblower part. they said given those protections the complaint
6:05 pm
forwarded to the i.g. doesn't meet the definition of urgent concern. it says it should be serious allegations relating to the funding, administration and within the intelligence activity concerning a dni. this concerned conduct by someone outside the intel community and did not relate to any intelligence activity under the dni's supervision. satisfied? >> yeah, this is going to be the typical push and pull between the executive branch and congress. i suspect this will get worked out between the two of them at some point in time. this is somewhat of a delay tactic. we don't know a whole lot because we don't know what's in the complaint so it's difficult to speculate. >> we don't have to speculate about why they want to know it. the complaint here involves confidential and potentially privileged matters relating to the interests of other stake
6:06 pm
holders within the executive branch. no asha, that screams this has something to do with the white house. >> that would be my interpretation, chris. i think that really the bottom line here is that congress has authority to review this complaint. i mean, it's as simple as that. and we continue to go through this dumb charade every single time there's a law. we've done it with the tax returns, we're now doing it with the intelligence community. let's be honest, this is about an issue of national security. for the inspector general to basically say this is something that needs to be reviewed, it means that there may be other equities at stake that may be even more important like our national security issues. so -- >> but the tactic winds up being the same, jimmy. >> it's this dumb charade that's been going on for administrations and administrations. >> i know, i know. let's just deal with the charade
6:07 pm
part for a second. that's what we saw today. asha is right that there are certain serkcircumstances where house intel committee is supposed to look at this. what this president and his counsel's strategy is is very clear, fight it anyway. corey lewandowski asserting executive privilege today is a crock and you know it and i know it and anybody who has been in law school for a minute knows it. but they're just saying just delay. >> you got that wrong, though, crisp. >> how? >> at the outsaet you got it wrong. >> how? >> because corey lewandowski didn't assert the privilege, the white house -- >> it's only a privilege if the privilege attaches and he never worked in the white house. don't play this game. you're better than that. >> the white house's letter is relying squarely upon the office of legal counsel's opinion out of the department of justice and
6:08 pm
they're making the argument that this needs to extend to outside advisers as well. >> when has that ever happened? there's not one case -- >> it never happened. >> they say they have nothing to worry about. >> it's to the extent that the office of legal counsel has opined on this. i'll let you go, asha, in a second. the legal office has opined on this. >> the court may opine on this -- >> may? asha, make the counterpoint. >> chris, this is like oprah. like look under your seat, everybody has executive privile privilege. who doesn't have executive privilege at this point. they make disingenuous arguments. any kind of presidential communications privilege is about his advisers providing him with advice on his article 2
6:09 pm
duties. and corey lewandowski was not advising him on any article 2 duties, he was being asked to commit a federal offense. and even if there were some privilege here, there would be an exception to that privilege precisely because there is a potential crime that is involved. i mean, like we are really in the land of the dumb at this point and it becomes, you know, absurd to continue to try to explain this over and over. i think the american people see this and the bottom line is that this attorney who, mr. burke, who questioned licorey lewandowi exposed this for the sham that it is. >> the hearing was a sham. the democrats didn't have a good day today. >> from the outset, they wouldn't answer any questions. >> chris, you're a lawyer. before you have a question, you lay some foundation.
6:10 pm
eth they didn't have the document -- >> why would they need a document to ask cory if they ever met with the president about something. >> if they're going to ask questions about what he said to mueller, the same reason that when mueller went in there, he stayed within the four corners of the documents. >> i don't have any more time, jimmy. >> no, no, no. jim, jim, corey lewandowski testified that he had never read the report. >> let's just leave it there. we're going to learn more obviously about where the democrats are going on this but the only thing that came out today wasn't even provoked by a question. corey lewandowski wanted people to know, yeah, i lied to a member of the media because they're just as dishonest as anybody else. i guess that includes him. this whole process is going to be a mess and it started that way today. asha, jimmy, that he can ynk yo making the arguments.
6:11 pm
appreciate you both. >> the president gave a strange shoutout while he was trying to reel in hispanic voters. did you catch this moment? >> he happens to be hispanic but i've never quite figured it out because he looks more like a wasp than i do. does he have a case that can be compelling to a majority of latinos? he lost new mexico. can he win it this time? the man is here to make the case and be tested. i think you're just handsome. mm unlimited card. even when i'm spending, i'm earning 1.5% cash back on everything i buy. earning on my favorite soup... got it. earning on that eclair. don't touch it. don't touch it yet. let me get the big one. nope. this one? nope. this one? no. let me get them all. i'm gonna get them all. it's just the basics. can you double bag this right here? earn 1.5% cash back on everything you buy with freedom unlimited. can you also tell me what it is? chase. make more of what's yours. run with us on a john deere 1 series tractor.

6:16 pm
cortez. who do you like more, the country or the hispanics? >> he says the country. i don't know. i may have to go for the hispanics. we have a lot of hispanics. i love the hispanics. >> forget about how he put what he put to you last night. he's not the greatest word smith. it was a little clumsy, you recognize that, none of that matters to me. here's what matters to me. how can the latino community believe that he loves them when he has said so many anti-mexican and even anti-puerto rican things, how can he love latinos when she's shown such animosity. >> we can certainly go through the examples of what you claim is animosity toward his panics. but i think what hispanics want from politicians is results. it's not necessarily so
6:17 pm
important that they have a man who speaks in an incredibly measured and lawyerly way, someone who will never, ever offend them. what matters is the deliverables and making their lives better. in that score, the security and the prosperity of hispanic americans, of all americans but particularly hispanics, that's what we're focused on here, this president has been an amazing -- hispanic men are the fastest growing income group of any demographics in america. small business is flourishing in this country. that's particularly important for our community because statistically we are the most entrepreneurial demographic in america. i think a lot of hispanics look at donald trump and they may say i would like it if he phrased things differently. i, myself, would like it if he phrased things differently. i'm the one who has to -- >> it's not you the phrasing. you say here's what people want.
6:18 pm
you are assuming that there is no basic question of dignity involved, that all it is is about their pocketbook. sure we care about our pocketbooks, me, you, of course. but when you are a member of a group that has been denigrated time and time and time again, this man who described the caravans coming here as being mostly murderers and rapists and some i assume are good people and all this stuff about the s-hole countries and what he said about the people of puerto rico. you know it's reflected in his numbers. he's got a third of them at best. how do you think you get to a majority? >> but a third of them, let's put them in context. a third of them is incredible compared to expectations. >> to somebody who says bigoted things about them all the tilme. >> that is fake news.
6:19 pm
>> stop that talk. >> it's bigoted to say we're going to turn the border into a racial issue when it's not. america is not a race. you are protecting americans of of color, whether they are brown, black or purple. the media has tried to make his tough border policies inherently or somehow systematically racist. >> because he has depicted the people who are coming to the border as savages who are bombarding the gate. >> some of them are, chris, we know that. >> overwhelmingly they are not. why don't you talk about the majority instead of the small are slice? why do you try to depict the entire population by the few and in the -- >> i did not. >> you just did. >> i did not. >> yes, you did. >> all of them if they're
6:20 pm
comingily lcoming illegally, all of them are committing a crime and all of them are unwelcome when they trespass in our country. some of them in addition are very dangerous. it's a very small minority for sure. they primarily wreak havoc against hispanic americans. the people who suffer the most from illegal immigration, from the ravages of illegal immigration, from the unfair wage market competition, from the very preventible crime of illegal aliens -- >> that's why he hires illegal workers and doesn't tell the truth about it and that's why you guy drag katie steinly's family all over this country as an example of who we're trying to protect from these marauders at the gate because he's worried about the impact to the latino community? >> i talk a lot about a woman named sandra duran, a young
6:21 pm
hispanic mother in los angeles who was killed by an illegal alien deported five times. a beautiful, young, hispanic american who is dead because we made a decision in this country to be soft on borders and california made a decision to be a so-called sanctuary city. i even hate that term because -- >> if you were so worried about preventable deaths, then you would attack poverty the wave y -- way you attack the southern border. people in a fit of desperation do stupid and evil things as a product of it. >> i'm glad you mentioned poverty, chris. >> he's worried about them cluttering up spaces that people want to rent. he's not worried about the homeless people. >> i sure am. i sure am. i'm glad you mentioned poverty because the poverty rate for hispanic americans just reached an all-time low. >> why aren't they polling for the president then? >> they're going to. they're coming that way.
6:22 pm
>> they are? >> it's the same number as they were in the embassy it'xits. >> there's a the lo of polls all over the board. some of them show him as high as 50%one of them being npr, by the way. not exactly a right-leaning organization. the poll i care about will be on election day. i'm confident this president is going to do incredibly well among hispanics. >> why? is he going to stop talking about them this way and stop separating kids at the border? >> chris, what he is do is delivering the conditions for prosperity for hispanics in america. >> if you keep encouraging people not to come to this country and diversity is no longer a strength and diversity is a dirty word -- >> stop sending up a red herring. i didn't say any of that.
6:23 pm
>> i didn't say you. just because you're his echo doesn't mean -- >> sorry. >> thank you. apology accepted. when it comes to immigration, you and a lot of people in mainstream media conflate legal immigration with illegal immigration. >> he reduced the numbers of legal immigrants also. he wants reductions in the policies that allowed his wife's family to come here. >> immigration is not a dirty word. diversity is certainly not a dirty word. this president is showing that, by the way. he's showing in his policies he wants prosperity for all americans and the people who did the worst under the slow growth obama years, work class people of all colors and particularly minorities are doing the best. they have leapt to the front of the line economically in this nation. >> america is not just about money. it's about respect and dignity and human. >> and he wants to secure the
6:24 pm
border more than anything to protect hispanic americans. >> he's told me that personally in conversations. >> he should say it to everybody else. >> he's welcome to come on the show and make that case to the american people. i'm out of time, finish your point please. >> i gave a speech before the president gave that speak speech in nuew mexico and i told how i got to go in the oval right after he was inaugurated. i thought of my immigrant father and hoped he was smiling down upon me. the first thing he asked me, steve, what can i do for hispanic americans? no cameras anywhere, no journalists, because it's part of his heart and it part of his plan for a country that is prosperous for all people. that's who he is. hispanics will see that. >> i've never seen a poll that reflect it is. he's got to make it better known. what comes out of his mouth is not what you're saying right now. but i appreciate you making the pitch as always.
6:25 pm
>> thank you, sir. >> there is a new 2020 poll, the state of the race on the democratic side since last week's big debate. i see the headlines on the poll, people are missing the meaning. it not just about who is up, it about why. we got the wiz here with the big numbers next. did have more towers. more coverage! it's a network that gives you ♪freedom from big cities, to small towns, we're with you. because life can take you almost anywhere, t-mobile is with you. no signal goes farther or is more reliable in keeping you connected. should always be working harder. that's why your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value you'll find at fidelity.

6:30 pm
insight. you know my point. my point is it's not who moved, it's why. >> first of all, let's just show that movement. this is an nbc news wall street journal poll. now warren is the biggest mover, up 6 points from 19% in july to 25% now. i should point out that is her best national poll of any pollster who cnn will actually put on the air. so this is an important number for her. now, you're asking me why are her numbers climbing? well, i think this will give you a pretty decent idea why. are you enthusiastic about certain candidates and they asked us for warren, sanders biden. look at this jump from june till now. she's climbed by nine percentage points, 26 in june to 35 now. >> you see it in the crowd sizes getting bigger and bigger, like we saw in new york city here. go back to the first one here. how much of a factor is the one red arrow? >> this is a big factor.
6:31 pm
we saw that biden also climbed. i don't want to lose that. >> they're getting more of the pie. who is getting less of the pie? >> kamala harris is getting a lot less than the pie. she had that first debate performance where she jumped all the way up in the polls. since then she has not been able to deliver to democratic primary voters there is one thing on here -- that is not on here, those who say they are undecided has dropped from 8% in july to 2%. more voters are deciding who they want to vote for. >> as the field winnows, you're going to have to see about who that person is and where that person goes. >> we spoke about this last week and this is the key part of it. if you look among white democratic primary voters, elizabeth warren 28% for biden. this is the big question for warren, monday african-americans and every single democratic nominee since bill clinton in
6:32 pm
1992 has won african-american democrats, joe biden still has a tremendous leader, 36 points after elizabeth warren. >> where was this last time? >> biden is up a bit. >> even with the stuff with the war -- >> just because something s mis made a big deal about in the press doesn't mean it means anything to the voters the voters go it's not a gaffe in our minds, we still like this guy. >> college education. >> if you're talking about the press, most of the people in the press are college educated voters. elizabeth warren is up 34% to joe biden's 23% among noncollege grads white, joe biden up 38% to 25%. the two big divides between elizabeth warren and joe biden and besides ideology is education and race. we're going to see how those play out. >> two things nonmeasurable. one is my suggestion is in the african-american community

hearing that you have to be taught how to raise your kids of not going to be met well and i thought it would have to be cleaned up. it hasn't been yesterday. this crowd size with elizabeth warren, i haven't seen crowds like this except for bernie when he was getting his big rallies going. it's not something you can measure but enthusiasm matters in politics. >> you mentioned bernie sanders. bernie sanders didn't win the nomination. enthusiasm matters but you still need the votes to actually win. >> you're right, wiz, as always. >> shalom. i got it in. >> you're a little late. >> former deputy director andy mccabe will join us. he has not discussed his prospects or given a defense to the latest allegations. next. did have have
6:34 pm
6:35 pm
6:37 pm
so my next guest wasn't in the room today at the lewandowski hearing but he was on the minds of a lot of republicans who talked about needing to look into how the russia probe started, an area the house minority leader seems convinced will lead to criminal charges. >> are we going to see accountability, though, really? >> yes. >> andrew mccabe, they are recommending charging an indictment here. will we see an indictment? >> we will see an indictment. >> former fbi deputy director
6:38 pm
and cnn contributor andrew mccabe is here. for the record, you have not been indicted, still true? >> as far as i know, chris. >> to hear mccarthy say he will be indicted, is that just a suggestion or could he know something you don't? >> i suppose it's possible he knows something i don't. we only know what we know from listening to the same rumors or thiks th things that pop up in the media. the office has not responded with any significant information. listening to the congressman's comments and the other comments we're hearing from other folks on the hill, kind of very forcefully leaning forward and weighting in on a pending department of justice decision is extraordinary, it's incredibly inappropriate. it's not something i've ever seen before in my time working around cases and working as an investigator, working with prosecutors and seeing indictments, it is just a remarkable -- a new low, i think, for us.
6:39 pm
>> well, it's a new age. that's to be sure. and you're in the middle of it. >> i am. >> here's your problem. your problem is that they want to make a case that you consistently or multiple times didn't tell the truth about what had happened between you, people in your charge and the media with respect to the clinton foundation. what is your answer to why you gave answers that were wrong, at least misleading by their theory"? >> to be clear, i absolutely of reject the findings and conclusions of the i.g. report that accused me of exhibiting a lack of candor in several instances. >> why? >> i never intentionally misled anyone about anything and i certainly have not committed a crime. i was asked questions on two separate occasions about an article that had appeared months before. i was asked questions completely unprompted in the middle of other far more intense and challenging issues that were
6:40 pm
swirling around me at the time. when i thought after the fact that those answers may have been inaccurate or mistaken, i reached out to those folks to make sure they understood exactly what i meant and exactly what the situation was. >> explain to for people. that is being translated, you gave an answer and you went back and corrected it because you knew it was wrong. >> that's simply not true. that is not what happened in my case. i can tell you that there are many, many investigations, as an investigator, i sat down with folks, interviewed people all the time and many times after those interviews people would call you back, recontact you and say, hey, i told you this, i've thought more about it, i need to make sure you have the right understanding. the department of justice in my experience never brings charges against people in those situations. it's a bit peculiar that they are pursuing charges against me under these circumstances. >> if their theory is comey asked you about it, you gave an answer that wasn't accurate.
6:41 pm
the ichlk.g. asked you about ity didn't you know the right answer when they were asking? >> i can't tell what you they think or what their theory is going to be. at this point i am confident that if they follow the facts and they follow the law, i have absolutely nothing to worry about. >> so your lawyers have, you know, they haven't made their case yet obviously, there is no case, but there is a suggestion coming from your side that some of the things that andrew offered up at some point were not completely accurate, they had to be fixed. why wouldn't you know the right answers? >> i'm not going to comment on things that my lawyer have said. obviously it's an ongoing investigation and i am trying to as absolutely forthcoming with you but i'm limited in what i can say until i find out from the attorney general's office where this things sits. >> if they bring a case and your lawyer says,lesse lesisten, the some questions here and we're
6:42 pm
offering a deal, we think this was inconsistent, we call it lack of candor, now it's going to be a perjury charge, we began he gave false information, you didn't tell the truth, we got you on it. they offer you a deal. will you take a deal in order to go on with the rest of your life if there is no big criminal attachment, you are don't have to do any time or anything like that? >> absolutely not under any circumstanc circumstances. >> no deal? >> absolutely not under any circumstances. i have said to you, i said from the very beginning, i absolutely reject that report because i never intentionally misled anyone about anything and i will not stand up and claim that i've done something that i didn't do. so it won't happen. >> and the political stick will be no one is above the law. and you're going after the president, the democrats, they would argue the fbi, that he lacked candor also, that he would not tell the truth, he wouldn't answer questions and you have to go after people that way. why doesn't that apply to you? >> the law applies to me in the same way it does to every other
6:43 pm
american and certainly including the president as well. the inspector general made a referral to the u.s. attorney's office. they have investigated i assume thoroughly. we haven't heard what the status of that investigation is. as i said, if they follow the facts and they follow the law, i am confident that nothing will come of it. >> as i said to you, i do you no favors if i don't ask you what matters to people. one, this letter that i asked you to review before, the idea of the dni saying you got it wrong, this complaint doesn't really deal with intelligence, we're not going to give it to, it's only sensitive to the executive branch, not to you. you ever seen anything like this before? >> i have not seen anything like this before. i don't profess to be an expert on the statute that empowers the icig to determine what they are not going to give to congress so
6:44 pm
have i to put that out, but in my experience, congress has always had a deep and hands-on role with whistleblower complaints against the institutions and the agencies that comprise the executive administration, i have not ever seen an objection along the lines of this one. >> congress ain't the fbi, but in what we saw in that hearing today, if they're going to have potential witnesses say, well, the president claims his immunity, his privilege over me, even if they didn't work in the white house, as preposterous as a claim that is to me as a lawyer and there's no law on case that would ever extend it that way, the litigation will hold this up for a long time. is a whwhat you saw today prooft congress cannot get this done? >> i think what we saw was proof it was politics, not the investigation, not the feepdiin in fact laid out in 400-plus
6:45 pm
pages. it's the politics that will determine what the american people will ultimately find out. i think that's a crime. that report is, as you know, i'm sure you read it, i read it several times, most people will not. it's a 400-page dense and hard product to get through but there's a lot of information in there and i think it is absolutely incumbent upon congress to try to communicate the results of that report to the american people. if what we saw today was any end case of how that's going to take place, i don't think there's much hope of that happening quickly or effectively. >> andrew mccabe, thank you very much. it's good to have you here. good luck going forward. i appreciate it. >> sean spires, cer, he knows h spin but it doesn't translate on to the dance floor. he should win a trophy for personally following the foot steps of someone he used to work for. just drink that in, though, especially that outfit. he should have kept his partner in front of him the whole time. the argument next.

♪ he's good only the bongos, i'll give him that. usually "dancing with the stars. he really isn't a star by any definition, and what he was doing out there was described by a judge as getting attacked by wasps. now, i would likely give spicey an attaboy for effort and even an a-plus for creativity for dancing to "spice up your life" -- that's the song -- if it weren't for his final pirouette into absurdity. you see, president trump's former press secretary sclash propagandist in chief turned lime limb beau wannabe, then made his mediocrity about the man with all the moves, god. clearly the judges aren't going to be with me. let's send a message to hollywood that those of us who stand for christ won't be

discounted. may god bless you. now, i would not call out asking for trump folk to vote for him. i'm sure there are plenty watching, and his connection to the man who uses fancy footwork around the truth could be a boost. but really what he was doing here is just a dance of division, and it falls flat on its face when we foxtrot with the facts. first, the idea that being christian is something that america would vote against flies in the face of the overwhelming majority of this country identifying as christian. more specifically is lime spice more christian than any of these folks? they are all plenty churched up and fared plenty well. but, hey, sean spicer has never been one to let facts get in the way of a good story. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. >> mm-hmm. odd he didn't find a way to spin
6:52 pm
his anemic score as he did that crowd size. certainly he could have found something other than the al mighty to explain his expected shortfall like he did with the president's ridiculous claim about voter fraud. >> i think there's been studies. there was one that came out of pew in 2008 that showed 14% of people who have voted were non-citizens. >> you remember this when he was trying to bolster this president's arguments about a brown menace overrunning america? it was just plain wrong. he was probably talking about a study from 2012 that looked at outdated voter rolls, not illegal votes. in other words, it was a study about poor recordkeeping. it made no mention of undocumented people voting or trying to register to vote. like his salsa last night, the statement lacked originality. he was once again following in the dance steps of the master, explaining his own failings with faith. remember this? >> i'm always audited by the irs, which i think is very
6:53 pm
unfair. i don't know. maybe because of religion, maybe because of something else, maybe because i'm doing this, although this is just recently. >> what do you mean religion? >> maybe because of the fact i'm a strong christian and i feel strongly about it. >> you think you'd be audited happened. you have many religious groups complaining about that. they've been complaining about it for a long time. >> we don't even know if this president is being audited, but we know he doesn't want to own what is in his taxes. and we know the interest in those taxes has nothing to do with his faith but with our own, our abiding faith that transparency and the facts matter. similarly, sean spicer is a victim not of his faith but of his feet. but both were right to play to paranoia. 70% of republicans have said they think christians suffer prejudice. but while that may explain spicer and his former dance partner's play, another explains why it should not be believed.

only 34% of americans think trump is honest and trustworthy. that means two out of three of you don't. some advice for our frilly friend. the show, like politics, is supposed to be about bringing people together. dancing, not division. as your former boss is learning, a big tent is about being inclusive, not giving people a reason to feel excluded. focus more on your feet and your fashion and leave matters of faith to your own prayers that the judges have a soft spot for that toothy grin. all right. there is a new milestone for the trump white house. senate republicans and one of the most crucial parts of their legacy that i'm betting you haven't even noticed. bolo. be on the look out for what? next. more towers.

bolo time. be on the lookout. the white house cheered last week as the number of confirmed judges on its watch crossed the 150 mark. president obama couldn't clear 100 in the same amount of time, and both presidents of course can thank senator mitch mcconnell slowing obama nom nips way down,encely in the final two years of his presidency. president george w. bush, by contrast, got more than three times the number through in the same amount of time despite democrats controlling the senate then. and then there are the demographics, the faces of trump's bench versus obama's. so far the trump administration is putting barely half the percentage of women up for the nomination. this is all about older white men. they make up nearly four out of five of the picks these days. all are staunch conservatives, and some woefully lack the acumen we would expect -- not older men. they're younger men, which means they're going to be there for a

long time. so their impact can last a generation. that's the point. a lot of law is made in the lower courts, so a lot of these issues that you care about, whether it's reproductive rights, whether it's due process, the idea that it all gets decided at the supreme court is not always the case. and these judges are going all across the country. so be on the lookout. thanks for watching. "cnn tonight" with d. lemon starts right now. >> you've been listening in on my editorial meetings when i say -- or to my producers. oh, my gosh, the judges. he's stacking the court. this is why people who come on, some of the trump supporters, and they say this is why they -- i can't stand anything else he does, but it's the policies. he's getting the judges through, and he's getting a lot of them through, and people aren't even noticing. he had a milestone, as you said. 150 appointments. that's incredible. >> that's the point of the segment. that's why we call it be on the lookout. i'll telling --
