tv   Don Lemon Tonight  CNN  July 27, 2022 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT

7:00 pm
"don lemon tonight "" starts rit now. hi, don lemon! i'm in bright yellow. >> you make me laugh the way you say, "hey, don lemon," every night. >> it's my intention. >> i like it, i like it. >> you have great show. i can't wait to watch you as always. >> i'm going to talk to the folks about what's happening, especially with mike pom ppeo. they're already in the inner circle. we can assume they're going to the highest office in the land and the former holder of said office. >> close but will there be the cigar. we'll see. >> the january 6th committee may be on hiatus but not their
7:01 pm
revelations. the latest is mike pompeo who could sit for a closed door deposition with the committee as soon as this week. there's another one in the inner circle, mike pompeo. that according to multiple sources why do they want to talk to him of all people? might have something do with the 25th amendment. >> haven't heard the discussions among cabinet secretaries. from what i understand it was more of a -- thisthis is what a hearing, i want you to hear it and you should be on the radar, you're technically the boss of all the secretaries and the conversation progressed you should be ready to take action on this. >> that as a star witness is now cooperating with the justice department. that is cassidy hutchinson working with the feds. and working with a source, we
7:02 pm
don't know exactly what she is telling them, though, but we know what she told the committee. here it is. >> the president said something to the effect of i'm the f'ing president, take me up to the capitol now. >> and now an ex-trump official, current cnn political commentator says there are other white house officials planning to cooperate with the department of justice. in the face of all this, there is josh hawley, who raised his fist to salute protesters, who later swarmed the capitol. the committee told you what happened next. >> as you can see in this photo, he raised his fist in solidarity with the protesters, already amassing at the security gates. we spoke with the capitol police officer who was out there at the time. she told us that senator
7:03 pm
hawley's gesture riled up the crowd and it bothered her greatly because he was doing it in a safe space, protected by the officers and the barriers. later that day senator hawley fled after those protestors he helped it rile up stormed the capitol. see for yourself . >> listen, i hate to disagree with the way she qualified it. yup. well, he fled but, i mean, scurried is more like it. is it a scurry? yeah, scurried away from the protesters that he riled up himself, according to the capitol police officer, ran for his life while the mob closed in. let's not forget those police officers didn't have the option of scurrying away from the
7:04 pm
capitol. they ran towards the danger. he ran away from the danger, as he riled them up, raising his fist. do you think he regrets any of what he did that day? listen to this exchange with manu raju. >> the january 6th committee said when you made that fist pump you riled up the crowd. do you regret that fist pump because of that? >> no, i don't regret anything that day . i want to help with all the fund-raising. >> thought it was a privilege to be attacked by the january 6th committee. that says it all right there. the grift is real.
7:05 pm
certainly sounds like this is a game for senator hawley. sounds like he thinks it's an opportunity for a joke. but somehow, as you see him scurrying away there, he didn't think it was quite so funny when he was running for his life. cnn's evan perez is here and michael moore is here, former u.s. attorney in the district of georgia. can you believe this guy? it's a privilege and honor to be attacked by the january 6th committee in helping my fund-raising. i can't believe people like that are even in elected office in this land. it's sad. >> it's pathetic. he's a pathetic little man. inconsequential to the american people, i can tell you that. >> it's really awful and deserves to be called out. he deserves every bit of calling out. it's embarrassing. evan, i'll start with you. another big name cooperating,
7:06 pm
the january 6 committee is engaging with the former secretary of state mike pompeo. what do you know about that? >> we know, don, that pompeo may be able to sit with the committee in the coming days. and of course the importance of pompeo is that he might able to shed some light on the conversations that you heard cassidy hutchinson describe a little bit of, you know, this concern inside the white house that there were members of the cabinet and perhaps people in the senate who would cooperate on invoking the 25th amendment and remove the former president from office in the wake of the riot, in the wake of the attack on the capitol and of course the way he behaved in that whole period. so, you know, i think he might be able to shed light on at least those questions because it might explain a little bit about why trump recorded that message on january 7th.
7:07 pm
there was this concern, which we reported contemporaneously at the time that he was worried that republicans were turning against him, including some people in his own cabinet. and so we'll see whether pompeo dishes on exactly what was going on in those conversations. >> michael moore, what do you think about the committee's interest in conversations surrounding the 25th amendment around cabinet members? why would the committee want to know more about this? >> it's interesting that they're even making the inquiry. what's even more interesting is you've got cabinet secretaries and administration officials who are coming forward and apparently willing to talk about it or negotiate talking about it. they take the same oath as the president. they all take this oath to support and defend the constitution and if their failure to invoke the 25th amendment, to intervene when they saw a president out of control, to me they may face some ek posh wrer.
7:08 pm
so it's rea exposure. it's an interesting twist. we all knew it was a problem. maybe it went to the higher ups. we heard he was making the call, calling the shots. that's really the link that's missing there. they're missing that immediate link between trump and some specific direction to do something. so my guess is that they're looking to these folks to say i heard trump say this, i heard him direct that, i was in the meeting when he told his people to do this because that's been the link that's been missing in the committee. there's been a lot of drama, a lot of flair. we talked about people throwing things against the wall and having temper tantrums and from the criminal side, so what? that adds color and some context. we need it to slow down. we need to tell folks they may not see trump doing the shackle shuffle right away. we need to put the pieces into
7:09 pm
the puzzle. >> it's a high bar to send a former president to jail or to, you know, you said the shackle shuffle. that's a high bar. we'll see if we can get there. but certainly there does seem to be mounting evidence that there at least -- or leaning in that direction. >> well, there's clear evidence that there may be people high are up in the administration. i'm particularly thinking about lawyers who were involved, i'm thinking about d.o.j. officials who trump was trying to use to send fake letters and advising about fake problems with the election. to me those are people that we may see as ultimate sort of losers in the investigation. it is a high bar to get to a president. i don't know that we'll get there. i haven't seen anything this week in a makes me think we're steps and steps closer to that. it's a normal operation. i was interested to hear garland say he was going to move forward on people who were criminally
7:10 pm
responsible for the conduct. that's a different thing than being morally, ethically, politically responsible. you know, misfeasance is one thing, criminality is another. so that's going to be a pretty big hurdle for him to cross and i can assure you they're thinking about the implications of moving forward possibly on charges against a former president for conduct that he's alleged to have been committed while he was president of the united states. >> anything is possible. he says without fear of failure, no one is above the law. i want to turn now to what is going on at the justice department. the investigation is inside the trump white house. more about cassidy hutchinson, please, cooperating with the justice department. what do you know? >> we know that cassidy hutchinson obviously has provided all of this testimony to the house committee that has been doing these hearings. and so the justice department reached out to her and we know that she is now cooperating.
7:11 pm
we also know, don, there are others besides her in the white house who have now moved ahead to try to cooperate with the justice department. so what this does for prosecutors, again, is beyond people like mark short and greg jacob, who have now sat before the grand jury. this helps build some of what at least a story that prosecutors can use to perhaps get other witnesses. some of what cassidy hutchinson said on the stand at the hearings was secondhand information. this is what she was told by so and so. so prosecutors can then go and try to get some of that story as a result of what she testifies. she can be a very helpful witness and so can others because they saw a lot. they were there for a lot of this stuff and, you know, like pat cipollone, who is hiding behind privilege, you know, they seem to be more freely able to
7:12 pm
talk. >> michael, america's got to hear firsthand what cassidy hutchinson witnessed inside the west wing. some of it was firsthand, some of it was secondhand. they got to listen when she testified publicly, something like trump wanting to get rid of the magnetometers knowing his supporters were armed. watch this. >> his response was to say they can march from the capitol from the ellipse. >> something to the effect of take the f'ing mags away, they're not here to hurt me, let them in, let my people in, they can march from the ellipse. they can march to the capitol. >> that was a stunning detail that we learned. there's a lot that she talked about -- she saw and heard a lot of closed-door conversations. she testified publicly. how different do you think her testimony will be behind closed doors with the justice department and how serious is
7:13 pm
this? >> her testimony will probably track what she told the committee. they may delve in other things she saw who were in contact with trump that day. >> do you think the d.o.j. would be better questioners than lawmakers? >> i do. because i think they're thinking about this as a political case. good lawyers think about how do you lose the case. we've been hearing an open statement from one side of the case. we haven't heard anything about the other side. that's how the process is set up. good lawyers at the d.o.j. are going to be thinking, okay, how is it going to be attacked? if our defendant is ultimately trump or whoever else, how are these lawyers going to push back? what holes do we need to make sure are filled before we bring the case and i think that's what good lawyers do. that's what they'll be doing with their questioning they want to know before they get too far
7:14 pm
down the road what the answers are going to be so they're prepared for any vitriol that might come. >> michael, thank you, and evan as well. >> it is a large way from bringing charges but how par is merrick garland willing to go. with the justice department actually charge a former president? what would that mean for the country? bubbles so many bubbles! as an expepedia member you earn points on your travels, and that's on top of y your airline miles. so you can go and see... or taste or do absolutely nothing with all those bubbles. without ever wondering if you're getting the most out of your trip. because you are.

7:18 pm
the justice department's investigation asking questions about the former president's actions. also cnn political commentator mr. david axelrod. good evening. thank you so much. tim, i want to start with you. let's take a step back. what does it mean to have a former president and his white house facing such an intense legal microscope, mr. nixon
7:19 pm
white house? >> this means we're in a phase of history we've never seen before. it was always presidents in office. the last time a former administration came under this kind of scrutiny was in the 1920s as a result of something called the tea pot dome scandal but the president was dead. it was warren grc. harding. >> i covered that, by the way. >> you won your first pulitzer prize. ageless. since then we don't investigate former presidents. they're gone. this is the first time we've investigated a former president and it raises the challenge because this is a former president who may run again. it's sunomeone who is still a political player. i just want to play this to give
7:20 pm
con context. this is merrick garland in the interview with lester holt. watch this. >> we pursue justice without fear and favor. we intend to hold everyone, anyone, who is criminally responsible for the events surrounding january 6th for any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another accountable. >> okay. david axelrod, do you think the d.o.j. would take that leap? >> i don't know, don. this is such a hard question on the one hand, if you believe in the rule of law as the attorney general has said and that no man is above the law, including the president of the united states and you have incontrovertible evidence, a clear case beyond a reasonable doubt, what message does it send if you don't bring the case? on the other hand, as tim points out, this would be unprecedented and it would be one
7:21 pm
administration essentially prosecuting a predecessor. it has kind of a latin american, you know, sort of feel to it. and i think that, you know, they're going to have to weigh that heavily as they consider this. but the first issue is can you prove this beyond a reasonable doubt and get a conviction because if you have any doubt about that, you should not bring this case. >> you think so? you think if a -- if it's a miss, it makes his stronger? >> you mean -- >> if you try him and you miss. >> it's a terrible message. you saw what he did when he was acquitted after his impeachment, the first impeachment.
7:22 pm
he was absolutely without remorse or humility. remember senators collins said i think he's learned a lesson. he didn't learn any lesson. the lesson he learned is that he can get away with it. that is the lesson donald trump has taken from his entire life's experience. i think if he were tried and acquitted, there would be ramifications of that. i think you have to be very careful about that. >> i think either way. if you don't do it, he'll say they didn't have enough evidence. and if you do it and it doesn't stick, he'll say they didn't have enough evidence so damned if they do and damned if they don't. >> did you have something to say, david? >> the american people have a say in this. if he decides to run for president again, they'll have a chance to render their verdict and there is growing evidence that people are slowly beginning to be impacted by the evidence
7:23 pm
as it mounts about what the president did and didn't do relative to january 6th. so in a democracy, the ultimate authority is the people. and it may be that they're the ones who are the ultimate jury for donald trump. >> timothy, you know what happened with ford when he pardoned nixon. everyone said the country is going to be divided, they're going to be divided. we're already divided. i don't think it matters either way. if they're going to do, it they are should just do it. >> i agree with you. i'm one of those who thinks the timing of ford's pardon was not in the interest of the united states and american people. i think nixon should have been indicted. i think it was important to put in one place all of the crimes against the american people. >> do you think she should have opi been indicted?
7:24 pm
>> oh, i do. i believe it is very important for our country not to have political amnesia, not to sweep things under the carpet. it's really necessary because we want our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren to learn that in this country, in the end the flag and the constitution matter most and that powerful people can't get away with bad behavior. it's extremely important. look at the cost in this country of sweeping under the carpet what happened after reconstruction. i don't need to tell you. and i shouldn't have to tell this to most people who are watching, but we paid -- mainly african-americans paid an enormous price in this country for the political amnesia that we allowed after the construction. and pretending. and so i think it's very important that donald trump be held to the standard of justice that is required and that people learn that a violent insurrection is not acceptable and is not just a walk in the
7:25 pm
park up at the capitol hill. >> go ahead, don. >> i was going to say many of the forces that helped to fuel the big lie, including obviously the president, but if you watch tony o'sullivan's reports, those people are still with us and they still believe none of those things happened. at least they say they do. >> we have a different situation than we did with richard nixon, who resigned the presidency of course. tim, you've talked about this a million times. if he had had fox news, if he had had social media, i'm not sure had he would have resigned. if he had been indicted, i'm not sure that he wouldn't have tried do what i think donald trump would, which would be to incite his supporters to believe this was a political prosecution. so it's a more complicated situation than the country and prosecutors faced, you know, 45 years ago. >> thank you, tim, thank you, david, i appreciate it. senator joe manchin doing a 180,

7:28 pm
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
democratic senator joe manchin and senate majority leader chuck schumer reaching a deal on energy and health care bill today after more than a year of negotiations. it's kind of a surprise. one of the items included, reducing carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 and allowing medicare to negotiate for prescription drug
7:31 pm
prices. it's expected to face furious opposition from the gop. let's bring in cedric richmond, senior adviser to the dnc and former senior adviser to president biden. cedric, it's been a minute. it's good to see you. thanks for joining. >> thanks for having me. >> this deal is less than anybody wanted but it's still a big deal, especially for senator joe manchin. there's still a ways to go in the congress but will this address the dissatisfaction people are feeling with this presidency? >> well, i don't know about the dissatisfaction, the so-called dissatisfaction, but i will tell you what it will address. it will address the rising costs that families are facing every month. it's going to lower prescription drug costs, it's going to tackle our climate emergency that's out there, and we're going to continue to work to make sure that we are addressing the needs of working families.
7:32 pm
and, look, these things don't come easy. that's why it took a long time to get it done, but the president never wavered, kept working, schumer kept working and senator manchin kept working. we're going to continue to do those things. i think this just showing what a dedicated and focused president can accomplish when you work at it. >> well, let's talk about it. you say the so-called dissatisfaction in deal comes four months away from the mid terms. this shows president biden's approval rating sitting at just 38%, cedric and among democratic voters, 75% say they want the party to nominate someone other than president biden in 2024. the white house is saying they're not worried about it but, i mean, come on. as biden would say, "come on, man." how can you not be worried when you see that? >> because what we're doing is making sure we don't have 3,000 people dying every day of covid like what was going on in january 20th when we took
7:33 pm
office. we made sure we added 8 million jobs, brought unemployment to 3.6%, one of the lowest of all times and that we added 500,000 manufacturing jobs. the goal is to keep addressing the problems that americans face. look, when it's time to have a referendum on joe biden, we are ready for that, but right now we are doing the things to help american families that are busting their behinds to keep a roof over their head, clothes on their back and food on the table. come november of this year, i think that you will see americans make a choice between one extreme party and another party that's actually looking to make corporations pay their fair share, reduce the deficit and help families. and that is goal number one. and then for the president's reelection, he's not running against the almighty, he's running against the alternative. if you look at this party, the alternative is extreme. and we will have a bunch of things to run on that we have
7:34 pm
been able to accomplish through executive order when congress wouldn't act or through things like the infrastructure bill, where, by the way, we're going to remove contaminated water from 10 million homes in this country, 400,000 schools and day cares, we're going to bring broadband to rural america and invest in community violence intervention like no one has ever done and with a comprehensive model that empowers people to reach their wildest dreams. i think that's a record we can run on every day of the week. >> listen, you sound like you're still working at the white house, by the way. i know you're at the dnc now. you said extremes, right? some strategists think democrats can win over mid term swing voters by calling out republicans, cammlling them extremists. it sounds similar to what biden has been doing in recent weeks. >> i don't have to tell you about the ultima magna agenda.
7:35 pm
300 discripminatory bills introduced in this country. i never expected the ultra magna republicans who seem to control the republican party now to control the republican party. i never anticipated that happening. >> under my predecessor, the great maga king, the agenda increased every year. >> the idea of calling republicans extremists, is that the way to go? >> absolutely. because we have to call it for what it is and they are extreme. when you start talking about overturning roe v. wade, 50 years, and you start attacking women's reproductive freedom, you're attacking voting rights, you're doing all of these things that are so contrary and, by the way, they love to tout they are
7:36 pm
pro law enforcement and they love law and order, none of them will call out the president and the lawless acts of january 6th and i was in the capitol. it wasn't a tourist visit. it was an insurrection. it was a violent insur embrecti and it was done at the behest of president trump. so i think the more we can call out and show how extreme this party has shifted, i think it works for us. and the good thing about it and i think that's one of president biden's strong points, is that he's telling the truth and people know he's telling the truth. so when we talk about this extreme republican party led by former president trump, who still doesn't realize that he lost the election by almost 8 million votes, i think that people get it and i think that people realize what direction they want this country to go in. >> listen, i think on the main point, i think most people will agree with you. there are a few republicans, as you know, the kinzingers and
7:37 pm
cheneys of the party but they are few and far between, how do you explain them? they're calling out the president. they're saying, no, that this was a violent insurrection and that shouldn't happen. >> well, but they're also paying a price for it. the republican party has ostracized them because they were honest. >> right on. >> they're saying the president lost the election and incited this insurrection. when we talk about the republican party today, it's not your father's republican party. this republican party is extreme. anybody who tells the truth, who calls out the president, is abandoned and ostracized. >> doesn't president biden realize that on day one? people have been telling him this is not the father's republican party. it's not the republican party even when he was in the white house as vice president of the united states and now all of a sudden he realizes that this isn't the party of your father's republican party? that's been happening now for
7:38 pm
years. is he all of a sudden now in step and has been out of step for the first, you know, year of his presidency? >> absolutely not. and i'll tell you that even as extreme as the republican party is, we're find ways to work with those people who have the greater good in mind and who will put america first. that's how we pass the infrastructure bill. that's how we're going to replace lead pipes and crumbling bridges and levees and protect homes. where we can't do it, we'll do it by executive order like the george floyd justice and policing executive order or the voting rights executive order or any of the others. i think that the goal of the president of the united states, not just the democrats, is to make sure he continues to move the ball forward and work with people who is willing to work with him. as we continue to call people extreme, we're going to work with the people willing to do it. >> cedric, where has this fire
7:39 pm
been? you weren't this fiery when you were working at the white house. it's good to see you unleashed at least. i feel you were a little bit buttoned up when you were at the white house. it's good to see i call it the old cedric richmond i knew from new orleans. >> the fire has always been there. >> there need to be more people with fire like you. >> what i would close with, don, is at the end of the day, my children, my child will be okay. and for many of us, our children will be okay but there are children out there that we know and will never know that won't be okay if we don't get this right and we owe it to keep our heads down and just do the work and that's what the president is doing. and i am out of the white house now. i will have a lot more fire because our goal is to win the mid terms. you can't govern if you can't win. this premature expectations that republicans can win is just absolutely wrong. >> cedric richmond, please come back. i appreciate your candor. please come back.
7:40 pm
>> any time. >> thank you.

7:44 pm
. extreme heat and drought hammering texas and the forecast showing little relief in sight for the lone star state, forcing many to sell cattle they can't afford to feed. it's one of many tough chases facing farmers. >> reporter: summers are supposed to be quiet inside this cattle company auction barn in texas. but manager bryant lindsman says the extreme heat and drought is forcing thousands of cattle ranchers to sell off their herds. what's it been like being in the cattle business this summer? >> pretty much a roller coaster ride. it's been chaotic. it quit raining october of last year so it's been desperate measures for people.
7:45 pm
>> reporter: cattle ranchers usually bring their herds to market in late fall but the heat and lack of rain is making it financially impossible for many ranchers to keep sustaining the cows. that's what he says almost twice as many farmers as usual are lining up here to sell off portions of their cattle herds. federal forecasters say this is the second driest year around this area in the past 128 years. pri priscilla and her family have a small operation of about 20 cattle. >> you brought two cows and a calf. >> yes. >> reporter: why do you have to get rid of them? >> we're trying to reduce the number and how many we're feeding. there's no grass and the hay we have is not going to last through the winter. it's hard. you know, our fields are barren. >> reporter: so you're trying to save the rest of the herd? >> yes. >> reporter: marty schwarzkopf
7:46 pm
has a heard of 70 cattle. he brought one to sell today. he said he also usually sells 4,000 to 6,000 bales of hay to cattle ranchers but this year the ground is so dry, he's only done about 300. >> i feel for people. they've been doing this for years and years. now they don't have anything to hold on to. they're having to let go. >> we put these bails of hay out and they're a couple hundred dollars a piece. >> reporter: he says this ranch field should be covered in lush, green grass a foot high. now it's a sea of hard scrambled, brown dust. the remaining burnt grass crunches under your feet. we talked under the shade of an oak tree as he explained he might have to sell more of his cows do you get emotional
7:47 pm
thinking about that possibility? >> oh, yeah, yeah. you don't want do it. most of these cat tle we raised them from babies. if we have to get rid of all of them, it's painful. >> reporter: part of texas gets 24 to 48 inches of rain a year and has received just four inches this year. where the cattle drink from is supposed to be seven feet deep. there's not even a drop of water left now. he'll face tough decisions soon. he sold off 20 cows last year and if it doesn't rain and cool off soon, he'll be back in the auction barn selling more of his herd. >> i will sell them. before they're skin and bones, i will sell them. if we can't maintain them, then we'll get rid of them. >> so, don, this is an incredibly emotional time for many. cattle ranchers across the country. in fact, at one point when
7:48 pm
ranchers were here dropping off their cattle for the auction that happened earlier today, one rancher was in tears we asked to talk to him. he said he couldn't bring himself to talk about what this moment was like for him as he was selling off much of his herd. >> it's so awful, ed. it's a great report. let's talk about it pitch also want to introduce you to clay bertram. he owns a cattle business in payne county, oklahoma and he's in reno, nevada for a national cattleman's business meeting. ed, thank you for your report. clay, welcome to the program. i really appreciate you joining us. we just saw ed's really in-depth report on the pressure texas ranchers are under. and you ask oklahomans to pray for rain. how tough are the choices you're being forced to make this summer? >> thank you, don. it's very tough considering the lack of rainfall that we have, the shortness of grass, the cost of feed, the cost of hay to
7:49 pm
