tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  April 26, 2022 8:00pm-9:00pm PDT

8:00 pm
this is don lemon tonight, a new warning from the joint chiefs chairman general mark milley, top u.s. general bluntly laying out what is at stake in russia's war against ukraine. >> if russia gets away with this cost-free, then so goes the so-called international order, and if that happens, we're entering into an era of seriously increased instability. plus, new recordings, the new york times taped of minority house leader kevin mccarthy just days after the insurrection we'll play those for you, and the lockdown unlike any you've seen before, fences that look like steel cages, doors taped, on guard, inside chanshanghai, inside the lockdown. good evening, morning there, getting disturbing images of dead odds in the streets of bucha.
8:01 pm
what are you learning? >> reporter: good evening to you, don. what we have seen tonight, i think is fair to say not only disturbing and graphic but really the reality on the ground for ukraine right now, don. the exclusive images we are about to show you were shared with anderson cooper but ukraine's prosecutor general, who is collecting evidence of war crimes in ukraine, one of many people collecting evidence of war crimes right here, the photos you are looking at were taken in early march in the suburb just outside of kyiv. and they show people from bucha, ordinary civilians, going about their daily lives. one photo shows a man riding a bicycle, only for that life to be taken that very moment. many of the bodies of the civilians you're seeing on the street there have been found just lying strewn across the street and we've also seen, of course, how could anyone forget the mass graves. this comes, don, as cnn obtains
8:02 pm
exclusive drone video that has been authenticated and geolocated by cnn placing russian military as well as its vehicles at the scene of these killings. until now, russian officials have repeatedly claimed the videos and satellite images we've been showing on air are fake and that the bodies have been placed there by ukrainians. well president putin had this to say about the atrocities. have a listen. >> unfortunately, after reaching agreements and after our clearly demonstrated intentions to create conditions for favorable conditions for the continuation of negotiations, we encountered a provocation in the village of bucha to which the russian army has nothing to do. >> reporter: well don, those comments by president putin really shouldn't come as a surprise, but they do come as
8:03 pm
the u.n. secretary-general met with putin in moscow on tuesday. so here you go, those are putin's comments, clearly a lie, don. >> yeah, also tonight, the ukrainian president volodomyr zelenskyy speaking out about russia continuing to raise the nuclear specter, what's his message tonight, isa? >> reporter: that's right, we know president zelenskyy met today with the director of iaea, international atomic energy agency, that's the u.n.'s of course, nuclear watch dog, you can see the video of them meeting with marion legrasi, there to discuss the recent russian occupation of chernobyl. president zelenskyy criticized during that meeting that really, the russian troops, as well, and accused them of operating with little regard of nuclear danger, to nuclear danger and of looting and of damaging several areas of the plant. he also warned that their
8:04 pm
carelessness, were his words, signals the danger of russians using nuclear weapons. have a listen to what zelenskyy had to say. >> translator: given the level of the threat, we believe russia has no right to turn nuclear energy into weapons and blackmail the world with the use of nuclear weapons. >> reporter: and that meeting taking place for context of our viewers on the 36th anniversary of the disaster of chernobyl and while the explosion killed 31 people, millions of course were exposed to dangerous radiation levels and estimate the final death toll for long-term damage are in the 10s of thousands. >> isa suarez reporting from ukraine, thank you, appreciate that. i want to bring in now, former u.s. ambassador to nato, curt, thank you for joining us here on this program. you just heard president zelenskyy. is he right?
8:05 pm
is vladimir putin blackmailing the world with the threat of nuclear war? and has that threat stymied nato's decision-making? >> first off, i think he's right that he is identifying that putin is using this as a tactic. it is not necessarily the reality that russia wants to use nuclear weapons. they would not accomplish anything on the battle field and they would risk massive retaliation against russia. so the reason that putin is doing this is indeed to deter the west from taking action to support ukraine. fortunately, what we see is that the west is not deterred. we saw secretary austin in germany today convening 40 nato defense ministers, all talking about how we can assure a steady supply of defensive arms to ukraine so they can continue to fight back against this russian invasion. so as much as putin is rattling these sabers, no one is so far deterred.
8:06 pm
>> general milley is warning about the global security order. it's an incredibly strong statement. if the stakes are that high, does the west need to take a different approach? >> well, you know, i watched general milley's statement and i've heard some of the things he said in the past. he's a military man, he is assessing the balance of forces, he is extremely cautious, but so far, everything that we've thought about russia's ability to dominate ukraine, to come in and take over the country, decapitate the leadership, win the war within three days, all of these things have been wrong and so when we look today and say that oh well, you know, time is against ukraine, russia's ultimately going to win, i think that's wrong as well. i think that russia is actually suffering severe military deficiencies in terms of personnel, in terms of equipment, in terms of command and control, in terms of coordination of operations and time is really on ukraine's side
8:07 pm
and time is of the essence, and exactly what we are doing, what we saw secretary austin doing today, coordinating a significant ability of military assistance to fall into ukraine, including weapons, this is exactly what we should be doing now because ukraine can win this. >> ambassador, up until this week, the u.s. has been so hesitant to say anything to provoke vladimir putin. so how do you explain this change in tone from top u.s. officials? do you see a change in tone? do you agree with that statement? >> well, yes, i agree with you. there is a change in tone. if you go up until the nato summit meeting where president biden participated personally, there was a hesitancy in the u.s. statements. there was a willingness to do some things but also a red line against doing other things. then, president biden went to poland, he saw the refugees firsthand, met with the polish government, met with ukrainian officials and i think he came
8:08 pm
back emboldened and determined. and then secretary blinken went back as well and two weeks later he went to a nato foreign ministers meeting where the tone was completely different. it was now, not about what we won't do, it was about what ukraine needs. and how do we step in to supply what ukraine needs and if we can't do it ourselves, how do we find others who can? so i think that tone is now completely different and i think that is entirely appropriate because again, ukraine is in a position where they have pushed back on the russian forces. they freed their own capitol city of kyiv, they have the russians on the backfeet now trying to reorganize. now is the time to lean in. >> thank you very much, appreciate it ambassador vulcker, i want to bring in cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel, cedric leighton, russia is intensifying attacks on the east and south, how worried should the ukrainians
8:09 pm
be? could putin's forces be able to take odesa now. >> well it's definitely possible, don and one of the key things to think about is exactly how they're moving their forces. if you look at the northeast here you see the russians in the town of isium here, this is going to be a major issue for them, for the ukrainians because once the russians go through here, they could potentially move on this way to nipro or also move their forces from kherson where they established that regional government over to odesa so there are possible things the russians could do, but the key thing to remember is that they are stretched fairly thin. they have not been able to completely reconstitute the forces that were damaged and destroyed in some cases in the kyiv area so there are some significant areas where they really might have some difficulties, but the key thing to remember is the ukrainians have to be careful not to get encircled in this region, that's
8:10 pm
the key area to really watch out for. >> the uk says 15,000 russian troops have been killed since the start of the war. and ranking members of the house, foreign relations committee, member of the house foreign relations committee michael mcfall told our wolf blitzer tonight, russia is employing the same worn-out soldiers up north to battle in the east. are russia's depleted forces going to prove critical in this fight? >> absolutely, well the russians have no choice but to use those forces, don and when you look at this area here, so this was isium here and move on to slovayanka and kramatorsk, if the russians can't move this way they'll have a problem of stalling out. ukrainians have to be careful though the russians don't come behind them. you see russian advances in this area toward slovayansk also forces moving around donetsk so as they move this direction and
8:11 pm
over here it's going to create an issue for the ukrainian forces in that line that stayed steady since 2014, that line is going to move, and at some point, they're going to be some clashes right in here and certainly right in this area, but those russian forces, that mcfall mentioned are going to be in deep trouble because what you're looking at is not fresh ukrainian troops but motivated ukrainian troops and that's going to make a big difference. >> so the ukrainian state energy company is claiming two cruise missiles were flying low over that nuclear power plant near the city of zaporizhzhia, i mean this plant has multiple nuclear reactors. that is really risky. >> it is. absolutely. zaporizhzhia itself is here, the nuclear power plant is to the west of the city. any type of accident that would occur there, if, you know, the cruise missiles hit the plant, for example, or if somehow it was damaged, that risks radiation fallout, radiation depending on prevailing winds could affect this entire area of
8:12 pm
ukraine. the bad news for the russians would be that it could potentially affect their forces as well. but the key thing to remember is it would affect everybody and this is something that would have international repercussions because the prevailing winds would take the radiation not only through the central part of ukraine but all the way up to belarus, potentially poland and certainly into russia so that's why this is extremely dangerous and something the russians should really not do. >> interesting to learn that germany is committing to send 50 antiaircraft tanks to ukraine. what kind of an impact could this have on the battle field? >> well this could be really important because as you can see from this picture here, these antiaircraft tanks are fairly mobile. they look like basically little tanks, these are the cheetah tanks that the secretary, secretary austin mentioned today, they are german-made, numerous in the german inventory and they can have a significant impact on the battle field
8:13 pm
because what they end up doing is end up moving in many different directions, they pick targets out of basically many directions to targets in the sky at the same time, and they can augment the stinger missiles that we've given them plus all the drone activity that the ukrainians have been able to initiate, that can be augmented by this, they can latch all this together, in a communications and control note that really makes a major difference for the battle field. >> thank you, colonel, appreciate it. >> cnn covering evidence of ukrainian civilians being abducted by russian forces and subjected to brutal treatment. their stories, next. >> this place were 22 people. when they try to get to toilet they need to walk on the legs of somebody else, because there's too much people.

powerful connections between people. volodomyr papun and nadya didn't know each other before the russians came. now, he's brought her news that inspires pain and hope. volodomyr was recently free from a military detention center in russia. he says nadya's grandson sasha was there too, for weeks, sasha's family didn't know he was still alive, seized and held by russian soldiers in early march, they heard nothing about his safety after the invaders retreated. they know the same pain and uneternity. volodomyr told him he knows their son dmitro was recently alive in the same detention center in russia, that he heard dmitro's name shouted everyday in role call. there is comfort in that but not enough to soothe a mother's anguish. i don't have hope anymore,
8:20 pm
helena says, i know they are beasts, they will kill them and no one will find them. ukrainian officials say dozens of people were abducted from around the town of dina near kyiv during russia's occupation and most were initially held here in a sprawling industrial cit site the russians used as a command post. ukrainian prosecutor alexander zus shows me the conditions they had to endure, a small, dark, cold room. people were packed together here, he says. hands bound, eyes taped. >> in this place were 22 people. once they trying to get to toilet, they need to walk on the legs of somebody else. because there were too much people. >> reporter: he says people came and went, some spent weeks here. someone tried to keep track of days by scratching marks on the
8:21 pm
wall. he says all the people who came through this room had only one thing in common -- they were civilians. several people who were kept here tell us they were frequently beaten and interrogated for local information. one man says his hands and fingers were cut to the bone by russian soldiers because he couldn't help them. >> does it make any sense to you that they did this? >> no sense. i didn't know exactly what kind of information they could take from these people. >> reporter: this drone video captures the moment when ukrainian forces attacked the industrial site, driving out the russians. a number of those still locked in the room at that time tell us that's when all remaining captives were able to escape. with others including volodomyr papun had already been taken elsewhere, a long road trip to belarus in the back of a military trip ended in russia where he was given in military

two major banks, pessimistic on the economy tonight, deutsche bank warning a major recession is coming saying it could take at that long time for the fed to handle inflation and morgan stanley saying u.s. stocks could be headed into a bear market, those sessions causing the dow to end lower today more than 800 points, i bring in director of the national economic council in the obama administration, good to be with you, by some measures, the economy seems like it's in a good place, got unemployment near 50 year lows, corporate profits seen gains so why are we seeing these profits and warnings?
8:29 pm
>> well the economy is very high and very hot so that suggests room for it to go down and we have this serious problem of inflation which is well above the goals we have and causing a great deal of economic distress to the public and experience suggests inflation rarely if ever comes down without some kind of economic downturn. so i think the sense that something will happen that will bring inflation under control is contributing to a sense of concern about what's going to happen to the economy and i think that's basically a valid way to approach things and that the risks of recession at this moment are far above normal. >> so you have a sense this is
8:30 pm
happening, a sense that is happening, and thus, this will take place. is there -- there's an uncertainty now that we didn't have before covid and i've always asked if we had the right mechanisms to really measure the economy post-could have and i'm just wondering if warnings of a bear market or recession, if that's premature. >> so i don't know how to predict the stock market, i don't think anybody does, and i'm not going to predict the stock market. as for recession, there certainly are no certainties and there have been plenty of surprises and i'm sure there will be more surprises going forward but i think there's a fact. we measure inflation pretty well and it's well above 4%. we measure unemployment pretty well and it's well below 4%.
8:31 pm
and every time that's happened in the past, the economy's gone into recession within two years and that's why i think one has to be concerned in the current moment. maybe it will turn out that the inflation is transitory and that it will come down without significant increases in unemployment. that is certainly possible, but the transitory view of inflation which many held last fall, last summer, has largely been abandoned as it has come to appear that inflation is hitting a very large number of sectors. and in particular, people are seeing these really very severe labor shortages which are pushing wages up and that, in turn, pushes prices up.
8:32 pm
so i think we can certainly all hope for the best. what i think we have to recognize that there are real risks that, because of the excess inflation we're now having, some mechanism will produce recession sometime in the next couple of years. >> all right, let's put some numbers, a little bit more specifics to what you're talking about since we're talking about inflation. it hit a 40-year high in march. federal reserves raising interest rates in response to the rise in inflation and you heard deutsche bank's warning that it's going to take the fed for a long, take the fed a long time to lower inflation. the question is, again, i know you don't have a crystal ball here, how long? what happens in the meantime, larry? >> i think what you're most likely to see is interest rates rise to some point above 3%.
8:33 pm
i certainly think you'll see inflation come down from 8%, but i don't think it's going to get that close to the 2% that is the fed's central objective. and i think sometime, probably early next year, the most likely thing is that you'll see the economy will be very substantially slow and perhaps you'll see a period of negative growth, which is, of course, the definition of a recession. i think that's the most likely thing from here, but it's certainly not something that is a certainty and so i think we need to do everything we can to take cost out of the economy. we need to -- people need to do what they can to plan for the
8:34 pm
fact that we're probably not going to have a red-hot economy like this forever, and investors in the market are going to have to make their own judgments about what this means for particular companies or particular bonds or whatever. >> larry, always a pleasure to have you, please come back and have a good evening, thanks so much. >> thank you. new audio reveals house minority leader kevin mccarthy was worried about inflammatory rhetoric from some members of his own party after january 6th, mentioned matt gates and mel brooks by name. what he said, next. thanks to the cartridge-free epson ecotank printer. a ridiculous amoununt of ink! do i look lilike a money tree? the epson ecotank. just fill & chill.

8:40 pm
jeopardy. >> brooks apparently said the american patriots start taking down names and kicking ass which i'd say is a step further than a rhetorical take. >> if you think the president deserves to be impeached for his comments, that's almost something that goes further than what the president said. >> wow, let's discuss now, cnn legal analyst and former prosecutor, wood, cnn analyst ron brownstein, hi, i mean -- >> hey, been a minute. >> yeah it's been a minute. good to see both of you. this is, ron, this is proof that g.o.p. leadership was upset, deeply concerned about the rhetoric after the 6th. is it damning that they have done nothing to punish the people who were spewing, after hearing these conversations, i mean it's right there. we hear it. >> damning and revealing, don. i think every revelation we have tells us the same story, that
8:41 pm
whatever willingness there was in the leadership of the party to confront and try to exclude the most extremist antidemocratic voices in the coalition, including trump himself, evaporated almost immediately after january 6th, leaving us where we are now, which is simultaneously, we have more and more evidence as in the mark meadows texts disclosures about how many republican members of congress were actively involved in efforts to subvert the election, down the marjorie taylor greene talking about marstial law and more evidence of coming out with overturning the election, we see the proof that republican leaders have been unwilling to follow through on their immediate initial reaction. was that, this is real dangerous stuff for the party, and for the country. >> dangerous, elliott -- it's dangerous as the tapes are concerning and really no way to put it, like i think they're
8:42 pm
saying -- they're actually saying it. these tapes show whatever they say behind closed doors. republicans chose to line up behind trump, but does this give any more insight to investigators who are looking into january 6th? >> look, don, as a matter of evidence, what people say in the moment, courts give it more crediblity but we as viewers or listeners, outside readers of this should give it more crediblity, it's when weeks pass, people can doctor their stories or twist them for the public to be more self-serving, this is what they were saying in the moment and they were frightened and scared. and it's sort of, and more importantly, it speaks to what we know was kevin mccarthy's intent. number one, he was concerned about the threats of violence, steve scalese, frankly, is the one who even says the word illegal, you know, mccarthy never actually says the word illegal, so no, it is quite
8:43 pm
troubling and concerning but again this is what they thought in the moment which bolsters the entire case that the january 6th committee is investigating right now. >> you know, ron, these tapes reveal, really, a stark difference between mccarthy's public statements the last 15 months and what he was willing to say in private. i mean claims this won't hurt his chances of becoming speaker, but will all the tapes coming out, you know, of him saying all these things, could there be a political price that he is going to have to pay here? >> here's what really concerns me, listening to all these tapes. when you think about that question, you know, the price, you would think, well maybe he doesn't get to be speaker, well maybe the price is what he has to promise in order to get to be speaker after all of this. i mean the fact that, you know, that trump is not jumping up and down about this, certainly suggests that mccarthy is doing something to qualify him because this is normally the stuff trump would be jumping up and down about.
8:44 pm
what is the price that the country may pay in terms of whatever assurances kevin mccarthy is giving to trump in order to keep him on the sidelines at this moment of vulnerability? >> i got to ask you about this exclusive reporting we have and this is around texts sent from the g.o.p. representative scott perry to mark meadows following the election peddling bizarre conspiracy theories including one that the british manipulated our voting machines and gena helped to cover it up, and i quote, need to be tasked to audit over sea accounts at cia and national endowment for democracy. what do the new texts tell you about the environment in trump's inner circle leading up to january 6th that, it's the british, it's antifa it's -- >> don you left out, italian satellites spying. >> jewish space lasers. >> i'm dead serious, though, and the chinese, and dominion voting
8:45 pm
machines. this is a level of conspiracy theory and i don't say this lightly that goes beyond the drunk uncle at thanksgiving and simply not becoming of a representative of the united states of a member of the united states house of representatives. and again, we can disagree politically. there's a marketplace of ideas in america, it's great we have two parties but this goes beyond partisan. this is silliness and craziness. you know, certainly, his constituents, this is what, you know, he's representing them and that's their choice but it's quite unfortunate that throughout what appears to be the republican caucus at the time, more than just a few people, these really broad and really damaging and dangerous conspiracy theories . >> i'm glad you said that because i've been shouting it from, not the rooftops but here at cnn. this is not about partisanship, this is about sanity and insanity.
8:46 pm
this is lunacy. >> and views like this are becoming mainstream, you know, it's one thing to say my guy didn't lose and, pardon me, i don't think my guy lost and i don't like the outcome. it's another thing to say that italian satellites are spying on our elections and chinese, the chinese are hacking into our voting machines and that's why are elections are unsound. it is just nonsense, and -- >> or martial law. >> and most importantly, when we're saying we need to pull in the intelligence community, the director of national intelligence and the defense department to monitor elections which were also in the scott perry texts. this is dangerous and krcorrosi to democracy. >> quick response, ron. >> real quick, it's -- it's delusional. there's a core belief here. i mean the core belief is that our coalition is the real america, and by definition, if the other side is set to get more votes, something has to be amiss because we are the real americans and, you know, so much of the animating energy of the
8:47 pm
trump era in the republican party is this belief that democrats are trying to transform america into something irrevocably different from what it has been and therefore any means necessary are required and justified to oppose them and that is the fuel for this extremism and this antidemocratic activity that mccarthy is giving a wink and a nod to and we are seeing advance in so many states. this weekend in michigan, you know, a nominating election deniers in the republican party for attorney general and secretary of state. this is a broad, big problem and the challenges to democracy will be even bigger in '24 than they were in 2020. >> thank you, gentlemen, appreciate it. weeks of a total covid lock down plaguing shanghai and restrictions only getting tougher, new green fencing popping up to keep residents inside. cnn is there, next.

all confined into one room, essentially, and you can hear their aggravation. as for just exercise, i think for most of us, a lot of basing around the apartment. >> david, i'm sorry that you and everyone else is having to deal with this. be well, okay? stay sane and healthy. >> reporter: thanks, don, appreciate it. >> and thanks for watching, everyone. our conch continues. ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪
