tv   Cuomo Prime Time  CNN  February 21, 2020 10:00pm-11:00pm PST

10:00 pm
the publishing of the book. don't miss full circle. it gives as you chance to have in depth conversations. you can catch it streaming live at cnn.com/full circle or watch it any time on demand. >> the news continues. a lot more ahead. i want to hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." >> thank you. i am chris cuomo. big news, russia is interfering. now, the next hurdle in the election, nevada. and we have pete buttigieg tonight. he needs a big finish and he needs more than that. he needs big money. but first, we have to look at what the president did today. it's supposed to be a job, the first job is keep us safe but what did he just do with this intel overhaul?
10:01 pm
what did he do when he found out that congress was being cold about the interference? you won't believe it. let's go after it. the white house said that the president has been briefed on russia's efforts to help bernie sanders candidacy while trump claims it's disinformation that moscow is meddling on its own behalf. if it's democrat disinformation, why would sanders be in the mix? and the senator put it honestly and said he was briefed on the interference a month ago. >> mr. putin is a thug. he is an autocrat. he may be a friend of donald trump's, he's not a friend of mine. >> you don't hear that from the president. why haven't we heard anything from bernie until then? was he not allowed to speak about it?
10:02 pm
or is there another reason? legitimate questions. but what the president is doing really has to take our attention. not only is he changing people around, that's his right, not only is he looking for loyalty, that's all he's looking for. let's take this to another top player in the 2020 race with the big test in nevada tomorrow, former mayor pete buttigieg. mr. mayor, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me on. >> so big news today, the russians are at it again, they want to help trump and they want to help bernie sanders. why would they want sanders to do well? >> well, i don't think the russians have a political party in the u.s. they want chaos. we saw that they got just that by intervening to help donald trump and of course there's no question that they're going to be doing that in this election cycle, too. yet we're seeing this administration is doing nothing
10:03 pm
meaningful that they care about this or are going to act to stop it. all the more reason for us to make sure we are hard targets for misinformation as voters and all the more reason to be sure we are putting forward a candidate who can defeat donald trump by a big enough margin that it's not even within interfering interests. >> why not you? why not biden? you think they're thinking bernie sanders will win it all or bernie is the person who is easiest for trump to beat? >> i'm not going to try to get into vladimir putin's head. what i know is this kind of interference is incredibly take rouse for our democracy. we need a president who takes it seriously and is going to act to make sure any power, russia or anybody else, who even gets the idea of interfering in our
10:04 pm
elections gets the message through our deterrences are it is not worth of attempt. >> it sure is worth the attempt. look what they did the last time with the division. the president is doing it now to beat the democrats. even bernie sanders gets to use it as cover for what some of his supporters do in person and online. but enough of that topic. speaking of sanders, why didn't you go after him more in the debate? why did you focus on klobuchar? is that a mistake? >> well, no, i would say my message was very much focused on challenging bernie sanders because he is the front-runner. and what we've seen is he's putting forward a politics that says it's my way or the highway. if you don't agree with him 100% of the time that you are don't fit. he is arousing this behavior in person, not just online, that has happened at least in this terms of pattern has happened to no other campaign and most of us don't believe that he speaks for the democratic party. now, i am the only candidate for
10:05 pm
president right now who has beaten bernie sanders for anything and that was in a tight contest in iowa. the time has come for anybody who does not believe bernie sanders ought to be the nominee to get our act together and put forward somebody who can challenge him and who can decisively defeat donald trump in the fall. that was our focus on the debate stage and my focus right now. we have got to pull together and make this happen. >> i ask obviously because contextually the most viral moments for buttigieg were with the back and forth with you and klobuchar. we are waiting but all we've been able to monitor so far does validate you have that edge. we come out of the debate. elizabeth warren has raised that amount of money. if we use that as a metric for having done well, do you believe that she outperformed you in the debate? >> no, though if it's that's going to be the metric if you're watching now i need for you to go to peteforamerica and send in a few bucks. as a matter of fact, we set a goal of raising $13 million by super tuesday. i'm not a billionaire, i'm not a
10:06 pm
millionaire. we were able to build a campaign that started with no name recognition, no national e-mail list, no personal fortune, none of the advantages that come with being a senator and we've reached this point where we've got the lead-in delegates, every voter in south carolina and on into super tuesday and in particular i am speaking to americans, who democrats who don't want to wake up the day after super tuesday and see bernie sanders with an insurmountable lead. if we want to win and if we want to govern, if we want to unify a country whose biggest problems include not only the terrible policies of the trump administration but the terrible division that we're experiencing
10:07 pm
as a country, we're going to need to do better and i'm offering the campaign the candidacy that is designed to do just that. >> the dark reality of politics is that the money is a major factor. you don't even have money right now to be putting it in to super tuesday, make the chance of doing well very small. a lot of people are in the same boat. bernie sanders and michael bloomberg have the money. you need the money to compete. if you don't raise the money and after tomorrow you have a solid finish but if you don't have a surprising victory in nevada, are you afraid you don't have the money to compete? >> the reality is we are going to have to raise a lot in the coming days in order to be competitive on super tuesday. my supporters have got us this far. we've had nearly a million
10:08 pm
people decide to contribute to this campaign. i remember a year ago when our focus was can we get the 65,000 individual donors we need so that we can have a shot at being one of the 20 people who came through for us in the debates? this is real. we're also in the best position to defeat donald trump and challenge bernie sanders. i'll the only one who has beaten him at anything in the contest to date and we've got to get together if we don't want to wake up and find he's the only one standing after super tuesday. >> but isn't that exactly what's going to happen? you have some good finishes under your belt but after super tuesday, if you don't really get the exposure and you're all bunched up, biden and, yup, he's in the pack now. you can't say he's broken out any way except to fall, biden, klobuchar, buttigieg, you're all knotted up and will be in the exact same position, do you are think it's going to be where
10:09 pm
after super tuesday someone's got to drop out? >> that's for voters to decide. voters and caucus goers have a chance to send a message tomorrow here in nevada, soon in south carolina and then right after that on super tuesday, we're ready for a vision that brings as many americans as possible into the future. that harnesses the majority that already agrees on providing health care to everybody, just as long as we don't force it on anyone, that already agrees we got to raise capital. mine is the candidate that can build the majority, not only to win the nomination but to defeat donald trump. this is our only shot to defeat donald trump. >> why do you think bernie's on fire? >> well, again, it's all relative. he has not been able to command a majority. even in states where he did last time around. a majority in new hampshire voted for him last time, not so much this time. but if those who have a different vision than him doesn't get it together soon, we could be in a situation where we have an insurmountable lead. >> bernie sanders is doing better with older voters than he was, doing better with minority
10:10 pm
voters than he was. what do you think's happening? >> well, he's certainly speaking to progressive values that we all share. we all want to make sure that there is a better future, that we act on climate, that we do something about accountability for corporations that we raise taxes on those who haven't been paying their fair share. we all want those things but if we want to actually get them done, it's not going to happen with a my way or the highway politics. my way is the fast lane to defeating donald trump. most americans don't view ourselves in a world where we have to choose between a revolution and status quo. if you believe in that vision and broad goals that bernie and everybody else on our side of the aisle has talked about, let us build a coalition so these aren't just campaign promises or big ideas, they're thing that actually happen before it's too
10:11 pm
late. >> and it's also something we've never seen before, people who are more traditional, reasonable, let's say democrats, that's your sales pitch, i'm a reasonable democrat. you guys are getting squeezed by two people who are literally squeezing into polls all of the other democrats in the middle making your race really two stages. how do you break out from the other democrats to take on one of the two people who isn't even really a democrat except for now. i know you got your hands full. thank you for giving us a window into your where and how right before nevada. good luck going forward. >> thank you. >> big for him because we know bernie sanders is doing
10:12 pm
comfortably in that state. what about everybody else? this is a new phase. diversity comes into play in nevada and the result is going to drive who has the money to compete in the all important super tuesday, which is just right around the corner. so how does it go tomorrow? the wizard of odds with the real race, which is for second place next. let's get down to business. the business of road trips... ...adventure... ...and reconnecting. modernized comfort inn's and suites have been refreshed because our business is you. get the lowest price guaranteed on all choice hotels when you book direct at choicehotels.com.

10:15 pm
you know what's good about this? your sign's pointing at my sign, so people are gonna look at my sign. switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. you know, like the sign says. all the big brains say that nevada is bernie sanders' to lose, but anything can happen. certainly tomorrow what the real race is going to be is a complicated battle for the
10:16 pm
nomination starting to roll out. harry enten, our wizard of odds is here to break it down. we see this as a window of what's to come because it's all about what happens after sanders. >> bernie sanders has a 14 in 20 or 70% chance of winning. that's gone up over the last week. but look at all these candidates right here, biden, buttigieg, warren, all basically between a 5 and 10% chance of winning. if you're translating that over to second place, it gives you an understanding they're really tight in the polls. i'm not sure which will appear in second or which might end up in third or fourth place. >> what that means is that you're going to have this glut versus bernie all the way to the convention if the state of play stays how it is now. this is the in-party problem. they have a new and developing problem out of party. >> i would most certainly do say they have a problem. so this is his overall approval
10:17 pm
rating, election day, 2019 among voters, it was 43%. look where it is now, 46%. that's obviously not that great. it's going in the right direction. why the heck is that occurring? i think it's occurring for two reasons. number one, his approval rating on the economy, 54%, pretty high, but i also think the senate impeachment trial probably helped him because if you look at the approval rating for saying, hey, the senate acquitted him, 50% of americans or voters approved of that. i think impeachment along with the economy right now is driving these numbers a little bit up for him. >> this i don't think the democrats quite understand yet, it's part of the subject of our closing, about why people like what trump was about and don't like what this was about.
10:18 pm
now matchups. >> as we learned last time around, it was the electoral college that drove everything. trump won the popular vote but won in the electoral college. he was able to flip three blue states that voted for obama in 2012 and went for him in 2016. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. what do we see in the quinnipiac polls that came out? they're close but sanders holds the lead. bernie sanders down by 7 points in wisconsin. >> why? >> number one, wisconsin has a lot of rural voters. second, has a lot of noncollege white voters, we know the president does very well among them. third, not a very large african-american population, unlike michigan and pennsylvania. so those three factors are driving the president to become more popular in wisconsin than he is nationwide. >> this is also setting up just how narrow this race is, how tight it is. what do you see when you look at the map?
10:19 pm
>> if you take the 2016 election, michigan and wisconsin go dem and -- michigan and pennsylvania go red and wisconsin stays dem, look at this. the majority ends up picking the winner. right now republicans have 26 of 50, which means that donald trump would be re-elected. >> if the democrats in this election because you have the state election cycle also don't win over some of the state legislatures. >> that's exactly right. in florida, montana, alaska, they're all one seat away from flipping to the other side. >> what chaos that would be. best for the weekend. >> we lay it out for you as a scenario, but this is going to be a very tight race and that means it's worth seeing what the
10:20 pm
possibilities are. so now we have what we know for sure, the president is reorganizing the intelligence community at the top. the question is is he really doing it to control what information gets to congress about election interference and who knows what else? is he putting himself before our collective safety? we have an influence gop congressman on that issue next. in america we all count. no matter where we call home, how we worship, or who we love. and the 2020 census is how that great promise is kept. because this is the count that informs where hundreds of billions in funding will go each year for things like education, healthcare, and programs that touch us all. shape your future. start here. learn more at 2020census.gov [sneeare you ok?fles] yah, it's just a cold. it's not just a cold if you have high blood pressure.

[ fast-paced drumming ]
10:24 pm
russia is at it again. fact. but we're hearing two very different responses from the president and the democratic front-runner, bernie sanders. both of whom supposedly russia is trying to boost. let's get thoughts on this from
10:25 pm
kentucky republican congressman james comer. >> it's great to be back on your show. >> russia interference, no matter who they're helping or trying to hurt, is this a priority for you in terms of finding ways to fix? >> absolutely. i've said from the very beginning that russia's a bad actor, putin's a bad actor and we have no business having any confidence that rush's going to try to stay out of the election. that's why i and just about everyone in congress voted to put more sanctions against russia. we're serious about russia staying out of our elections and hope they never do that again. >> so then it comes to how do you combat it here at home? now, we have talked previously about the president wanting to reorganize and have new people in different places, that's his prerogative, that he is looking for loyalty as a primary commodity. then you get into the pedigree of those people and you start having battles about what's a good pedigree, what's a bad pedigree. now there's a bigger concern.
10:26 pm
if the reporting is correct, and david nunes came and said hey, boss, they're trying to let the democrats have more ammo about russian interference and in a is driving the president to silence that kind of reporting to congress, you cannot be in favor in that, sir, can you? >> i don't know that devin nunes did that. we haven't been able to confirm that that meeting ever happened. i'm going to assume as of now that it did not happen. >> why not assume that it did. that is the reporting from certificate different sources and outlets. >> one thing i know for certain is adam schiff, nunes's counterpart on the intelligence committee and actually chairman, he has consistently been leaking intelligence to the press. that is a violation of congress, it's a violation of the oath he
10:27 pm
takes as a member of the intelligence committee. i think adam schiff's done more damage to the institution of congress. >> whether it came from schiff or nunes, let's say it was neither of them, but it came out. the idea of the president of the united states saying i don't want congress getting this information about election interference, it's bad for me, shut up, do you like that? >> i don't think that that's what upset the president. it's my understanding that the president was upset that he heard about it in the news, that the intelligence people went to schiff and possibly nunez and briefed them before they briefed the president and they're having to defend something that they don't have any idea what they're about to defend. >> why do you believe that? we don't have any reason to believe that they went to congress before they went to the
10:28 pm
president and, by the way, there are many instances where they're supposed to go to congress. this isn't like we're about to get attacked, who do you go to first? it's about members of intelligence community telling people what they're supposed do, here's what's going on, act. >> that's right. there's a definite lack of confidence in the intelligence community by many republicans and especially by the president. that's why he's obviously trying to do the shake-up and i think that's warranted. if you go back to george w. bush when the intelligence community reported that iraq had definite weapons of mass destruction, there have been bad decisions and advice given by the intelligence community and the president wanting to put new people in the office and grenell is on a temporary basis. i think he stated today he plans to return to his post as ambassador to germany. i think the president is doing what needs to be done and the president is also very frustrated in congress and i'm sure with both parties leaking classified information. >> the last part it's just hard for me to believe because i've never seen anything leak the way this white house does. let's put that to the side
10:29 pm
because we have something else. the wmd discussion that came out of the bush white house would be reason for concern. but this president isn't concerned with getting it right and you just said you agree with the analysis that russia is interfering once again. there's almost unanimity on it unless somebody's playing politics. it's about about the information being right and the president not wanting congress to know about it. how can he put his own political interest before national security? >> what the president is frustrated with is that there's this assumption that russia is trying to help the president and the president colluded with russia. i think that's been proven there was no collusion between the trump campaign and russia. many republicans think putin and russia would prefer to have secret service as president.
10:30 pm
bernie sanders is a socialist, identified with the soviet union earlier in his career. >> either way, congressman, you're making the exact point i'm making to you. we know they're trying to help bernie. trump only hears about him and he goes right to collusion. i'm not saying president has anything to do with aiding russian interference. i'm saying that you need to know about russian interference in congress because you have to keep me and the rest of the voters safe. and if the president has the intel community not give you that kind of information because he's frustrated or he's mad at the right or mad at the left, it bad for him, those are all bad reasons, aren't they? don't you have to get the information? >> i agree that congress needs the information. i want the information. but the problem is the information's been bad, the information's been skewed. you take james comey. i don't think in hindsight he has a lot of credibility.
10:31 pm
>> but he's gone. >> he's gone, that's right. >> he's gone. >> there are a lot of holdovers -- >> he did this today and it's his guys in charge of this. this was his guy in charge of the acting dni. >> right. and the president is doing everything in his ability, i think, to restore credibility to the intelligence community -- >> how does it restore credibility if you tell the intelligence community you can't give congress bona fide information because it bad for me.
10:32 pm
>> we don't know that the president said that. that's being reported from anonymous sources. the president is frustrated that information being given to congress is constantly leaked to the press. >> no, congress was his problem. he doesn't want the democrats to have it. he did not reject the story. the white house has not come out and said it's not true. >> right. you're a smart guy. you're from a political family. would you have confidence in adam schiff having any type of information from the intelligence community? >> yes. >> everything adam schiff has done over the past three years is to try to impeach donald trump. >> this is about the interference, congressman. you say you don't want to play politics -- i agree with you. i don't know that coming from a political family and being intelligent go together but i'll take it for the purpose of this discuss. i'm saying it's about the interference, no the politics. whatever schiff does, he should be judged. whatever nunes does or does not do should be judged but you have to get the information. you have to be careful about making excuses for the president for not letting the information come out.
10:33 pm
>> i want the information. every member of congress of both parties wants the information but we have to do something about the credibility in the intelligence community, about the constant leaking from members, especially democrat members on the intelligence committee and it's a huge problem. >> but stopping the intelligence community from going to congressmen is not the answer to that. >> i do not think -- i do agree with that and i do not think the president wants to do that but when we talk about russian interference, it one thing that we need to note here, what they did in the last election, they bought some facebook ads -- >> they did a lot of things. >> they bought facebook ads. >> they hacked e-mails, they give them to wikileaks. i'm not saying it had an effect on the outcome but it can't be good and we need to stop it. congressman james comer, thank you for having the conversation with me. >> thank you for having me on, chris. >> have a good weekend. this is something where you got to be on the same page. and the idea that the president
10:34 pm
may be putting his own interests over the national interests here is a problem. there are two people who know the stakes, who know the flow of what happened here and why it matters. we'll take it to them next. oh, hi, samantha. you look more like a heather. do you ever get that? it's nice to finally meet you in person. you're pete nocchio? oh, the pic? that was actually a professional headshot. i'm sure that's it, yeah. i, uh, i think i've lost a few pounds recently too. i'm actually doing a juice cleanse. wait! you don't... (glass breaking) (gasp) ah! oh...! with geico, the savings keep on going. just like this sequel. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

10:37 pm
10:38 pm
be clear about the facts here. the president tweeted the democrats were making up russian interference again. he tweeted it. you'll see it. first russia did interfere the last time. it wasn't made up. and it was his own intel folks that say they are up to it again helping him and helping bernie sanders. the democrats didn't make it up. his people in the intel agencies went to congress. it was brought to them. here's the outrage, that the president of the united states wouldn't want democrats or even congress for that matter briefed on election interference
10:39 pm
efforts. our investigators, andrew mccabe and mary mccord are here to discuss. jim comer's in a tough spot. wants to defend the president on something hard to defend. let's just start on the macro look at this, the idea of the big shots turning around in their own agencies and saying, listen, you are don't just go telling congress about what anybody is doing interfering in these elections until we get the it's all clear from the president that it's okay to do so. impact. >> well, it's really frightening. i mean, it's of course routine and required that the intel communities regularly brief the intelligence committees on both the house and senate side. they also regularly brief others within the administration about threats to our national security, including foreign election interference. the thought that there would be any effort to change, modify or squash any information that the
10:40 pm
intelligence community gathers that's important for the whole of our government to respond to is a very frightening prospect and it sounds like a very authoritarian type of government that the administration is seeking here. >> the president's defenders, andrew, say no, no, no, no, supposed to tell the president first. how often is that the case? >> so in some cases it actually works out that way. i can tell you in my own experience, we used to provide counterintelligence quarterly briefings to the intelligence committees as a regular and routine matter, meeting our obligation to keep them informed of what was going on. before we would provide that briefing to the committee, we would provide it to the president's homeland security director and national intelligence simply so they knew what material they were sharing with congress. we didn't get any editorial suggests tell them this or doesn't they will them that, it was keeping everybody coordinated. the idea that the president would tell agencies that are
10:41 pm
required by law to keep congress informed, not to tell them about particular threat streams that the president finds uncomfortable, it is confounding and putting the president's interests in front of the national security of the country. >> mary, so i was on the phone with a mutual friend of all of ours today, general michael hayden. he's doing great and he was twice as shortstop as i am on my best day. he said here's the risk to play to what you said is your fear -- this is the president installing a political comisar, to having someone controlling information and that him and the other in your guy they're bringing in from the white house, that these guys controlling the information, the intel communities can use, will have a chilling effect that will definitely affect national security. too heavy handed?
10:42 pm
>> well, i think he's right about that. the intelligence community makes it their day-to-day job to be nonpartisan and to never be influenced by politics because their job is to assess the intelligence that's coming in, to analyze it and provide that product to policy makers and decision makers. and when there is influence on them for political purposes, that throws the entire mission out of whack and makes it very difficult for them to continue to do their jobs. and certainly without fearing retribution because i think what's so frightening recently in the situation we find ourselves in is that more and more and more we see the president, you know, as part of his narrative of which hunt, everything's been a witch hunt, we now see him taking retribution out, whether it's removing political appointees that are not loyal enough, whether it's attacking prosecutors, judges, jurors as in the stone matter, whether
10:43 pm
it's removing witnesses who testified against him in the -- >> the original question, is it america first or trump first? then we get to the meat of the matter, andrew. they're trying to help trump and bernie sanders. i don't get it. >> so it goes back to the russians' most basic principle of these sort of active measures that they execute here in the united states. to russia, a divided, chaotic, fighting america is infinitely better than a united, focused, committed america. we are their existential enemy
10:44 pm
so to the greatest extent that they can sew chaos and division and discourse here, that's their goal, that's their biggest objective. so in fueling both sides, in further pitting one side against the other, that's the objective they are pursuing. can i also just add real quick, the idea that the russians through this activity have actually succeeded in separating the american president from his own intelligence infrastructure, i mean, that is every intelligence officer's greatest dream. they've actually isolated the president away from those intelligence professionals who are in a position to give him the best, most direct advice on these issues and he is now compelled to replace those people with political loyalists. that is an incredible coupe for the russians. >> from trump's perspective, if it's good for him and it's good, good. if it's bad for him, he doesn't want to hear about it. if people look at this this way, you'll see why he's doing what he's doing. thank you for helping us make sense of, it especially on a friday night. be well. here we are, we're getting into the election. and i don't think that the democrats understand the reality

10:50 pm
>> they're all over his administration and he's proven to be one of the biggest of them, but i'm going to get to that in a second. democrats, the frustration is the desire to see the players played with dominates everything. here every piece of these peoples gripes. >> they're afraid trump's going to mess up their whole little club up there, and that's what we need. we need the club shaken up. >> he speaks his mind and he's not a puppet. >> this country is so dang political correct. i mean you can't say any -- i mean i'm afraid to say what i really feel. >> hear them, more importantly ignore them at your own peril. again they're not asking for a granular plan of how many years and how many dollars over how much time for health care. they just want to know you get the system does them dirty. so when you attack trump you

paralysis. trump convinced many who feel like that, there are a lot, that he hates the same thing. he's the system's perfect nemesis. nemesis as defined in the cult classic "snatch." >> do you know what nemesis means? a righteous infliction of retribution, manifested by an appropriate agent. >> it did not end well for them. but in essence trump is payback. and that's what they want. and no insider, therefore, can say that what he does is wrong because you'd do it, too in their opinion. so everything he does wrong, you do. he's just better at it. and open about it. he's playing a game that's all about ugliness. and you're part of the game. now, yes, sanders, warren, they sayy they want to attack the system, too. they are politicians. insiders. and pitching a huge price tag. it will not be easy to convince people they will not somehow pay
10:53 pm
more. it's a challenge. democrats don't think about attacking trumps toxicity as enough. to his people it's only toxic to you insiders. this is the key. he or she who can connect with the real upset that's out there. show people that you can mess with what's wrong like the donald does. you can actually deliver. that they can win. and win with you and you'll get a mandate. my brothers and sisters backing trump. i don't say republicans because i know trump is bigger than your party and that you see republicans as players on the inside and part of the problem. i get it. did you suggest he's not delivering? yes, i did. why? i think you're missing devilry for delivery. the real difference between putting america first and putting himself first. he defied the courts in congress.
10:54 pm
he's done it bigger and badder. has them crazy. tells them off to their faces. bad ass. is it better? just today his intelligence choices the intel people going to congress to warn they need to find ways to stop real russian interference of our election. they're trying to boost trump. they're trying to boost sanders. why? create chaos. the president hears about it from his boy nunes and he's trying to clean house. whether it's directly connected who cares. the idea that he doesn't want congress to get anymore intelligence like that is frightening. be honest, you know they need to know so they can do something about it. it's not just how it plays politically for him. you know it can't be that way. that's not america first. he thinks russian interference doesn't play well for him so he ignores it. it's our election security at stake. is that better for you? is congress getting more done?
10:55 pm
the great deal maker has he made deals with congress? he's made himself look like a big deal, right? he can beat the system. he has made no deals to fix the system. a tax cut for the rich and a deficit you're going have to pay for. healthcare and immigration. nothing is solved. what happens with four more years? is being bad making it better. that's the question for the right. and can a democrat relate to what is really wrong and show there is a better way to do it right? that's what this election is about. that's my argument. next, the bolo. if you work in the trump administration look out, someone's having their eyes on you. with td ameritrade you've got courses, tools, and help from pros. it's almost like you're training me to become an even smarter, stronger investor. exactly. ♪(rocky theme music) fifty-six straight, come on! that's it, left trade right trade. come on another trade, i want to see it! more! ♪

to trump. america first? he's warning cabinet officials expect staffing changes. all over the government. as he finds those who are not on the trump train. he will focus on those working at state and defense. now, it's true of course those employees serve at the pleasure of the president. by law public servants take an oath to support and defend the constitution. so, will that promise be useless with this declaration of war on any perceived dissent? will those who swore an oath be chilled into silence no matter what they see or hear? my brothers and sisters be on the look out. taung for watching.
