12:00 am
idea that it was undemocratic kamala harris has evolved from an aggressive prosecutor to a 2020 presidential hopeful that failed to connect with voters to the vice president incidents see only had one client the people kamala harris is hoping to convince voters. she is the best person to represent democracy as president of the united states in this country? anything is possible
12:01 am
has touted his experience and achievements from his first term >> welcome to the whole story. i'm anderson cooper on the campaign trail, former president donald trump has touted his experience and achievements from his first term in office and has vowed to continue with what he started and if he's elected again but where does he actually stand on some of the key issues for voters in this election cnn's abby phillip takes us through what the trump white house did when it came to the economy and reproductive rights, as well as immigration, foreign policy, and the state of democracy. and she looks at what he and his allies have promised to continue or change if elected to another term in november the united states. >> a complete and total disaster into donald trump's presidency. >> and he wanted to withdraw the united states from nafta, the north american free trade
12:02 am
agreement he. >> would say repeatedly, in the oval office to everyone who would let the ripping us off they take advantage of america, were suckers and losers. >> it's been very, very bad for our companies and for our workers was out campaigning from blue-collar supporters fears, food fight, nafta had taken jobs from america trump wanted to announce their withdrawal on his one 100th day in office a huge freak out occurred when this became known inside the white house and various advisers rushed over to stop this almost all economists think of trade to varying degrees as a potential way to make both sides winners. that if you in your country are really great and making cars. and i, in my country, i am really great at making airplanes then it would make
12:03 am
sense for me to make all the airplanes and you to make all the cars trump views, nafta as a deal in which the united states is getting ripped off by mexico and ripped off by canada what would have been the consequences if trump hold the united states out of nafta this isn't, you know, one of the largest, if not the largest trade pact in the world? one of the things that i think people misread about donald trump so often has a lot of the times these big statements like that are negotiating tactics. if the prime minister of canada and the president of mexico fear that america will unilaterally pull out of nafta it makes them much more willing to come to the negotiating table his supporters will say he is looking for leverage but, you know it's a form of playing russian roulette with the world's economic security what was the reaction to that pledge
12:04 am
inside of mexico? i think the mexicans were concerned about that. it's been an agreement that was in place for about 25, 30 years trade between the u.s. >> canada and mexico was more than 1 trillion a year year and nafta had lifted tariffs between the three countries for more than two decades a sudden withdrawal would upend global and domestic politics and rattle financial markets trump actually had one of his top aides rob porter draft a letter to get out of nafta that he would sign presumptively paperwork was preparing inside the white house gary cohn, who was his national economic council director launch of different steps, including famously hiding some papers, some documents from trump that if he had signed them would have pulled the united states out of nafta right away. well, i was going to terminate nafta
12:05 am
as of two or three days from now? >> on his 98th day in office. and after nearly two years of assailing nafta a last-minute late night phone call with mexico's president and canada's prime minister convince trump to stand down. >> take called me and they said, rather than terminating nafta, could you please renegotiate that same week, desperate to announce a big wind during his first 100 days trump shifted focus and russia to release an outline of a tax bill they need a win. >> and if there's one thing that every republican, even under this administration can agree on its, we need to cut taxes the tax cuts and jobs act passed that december giving trump his first major legislative victory. i consider this very much a bill for the middle-class and a bill for jobs the bill reduce the
12:06 am
corporate tax rate from 35 to 21%, lowered income taxes for individuals for the next eight years. >> and doubled the child tax credit they made huge changes to the tax code they had a real unifying theory, which was if we cut taxes for corporations, we are going to unleash an investment. >> boom in the united states that makes america competitive again. so we can bring back that simple, but beautiful phrase. you've heard it before, made in the usa, they were shore, there was going to be more jobs specifically in areas like manufacturing and they were sure that that was going to lead to two big wage increases for americans the most important thing that the tax cuts did for trump in his time in office was they gave people money to spend right away. >> and there was this short-term stimulative effect to the economy that's the big win for trump trump would score
12:07 am
another economic win two years later. i promise to renegotiate nafta and today we have kept that promise what president trump was concerned about was to make sure that the agreement was not unfair and was not basically penalizing american workers he does cut a new trade deal. >> but it's not a complete fundamental overhaul. it's mostly the same thing with new branding and some new components branding has always been central to trump's strategy. if i'm given another four years, i will be the best. i think i'll be the best nobody's ever created a economy like us and he's hoping it will win him a second term in the white house when i get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips not always a great slogan. but it just makes sense to be able to protect those people who make the bulk of their income comes
12:08 am
from tips do you expect him to pursue tax cuts? >> as policy if he is reelected? >> that is one thing that he says that i think people should take him at his word on what does he really want to accomplish policy-wise, maybe other than tax cuts? it's talked about sweeping increases in tariffs were doing tariff. >> so in other countries, other countries are going to finally after 75 years pay us back. >> there have been warnings from economists that if you do that and you pursue these tax cuts, you are creating these settings for price spikes, which could then become inflationary he his folks have insisted that that is not true. >> but what's true hasn't always been important to trump. >> i had no inflation, virtually no inflation. >> and his economic legacy as president is up for debate his description of how successful the tax cuts were. they were not as good for the economy as
12:09 am
he claims at some point, does he understand that he understands that he doesn't care? he likes the way what he says sounds better good salesman he was able to convince americans that he just had special powers when it came to economic growth. that we're not reflected in economic performance trump is not the best american president of our lifetime. >> he had a good economy but the full scope of trump's economic management when you include the pandemic he's, he's nowhere close who good look at the tax cuts and say weeks are positive outcomes of them. >> i think his critics will say they were not good policy for the country most, americans got a. tax cut, but most of the trump tax cuts went to the highest earning americans he said he did the biggest tax cut of all time. he didn't he was going to bring back millions of american manufacturing jobs that had been sent overseas he
12:10 am
did not trump campaigned on a promise not just that he would balanced the federal budget, but that also he would pay off the entire national that when she came nowhere close to doing i don't think there's any evidence to support the idea the trump economy was the greatest economy in history. and it's probably not the greatest economy in most americans living memory when he was president, that he would sign a national abortion ban. >> what he's done is try for political reasons not to emphasize that in this 2024 campaign national security for presidents reagan, both bushes and for president trump now endorsing harris for president. she came off as a prosecutor an attorney general, into the senate she has the kind of
12:11 am
character that's gonna be necessary in the presidency. >> vice president harris is standing in the breach at a critical moment in our nation's history, we have a shared commitments as americans to do what's right for this country. this year i am proudly casting my vote for vice president kamala harris, former generals, secretaries of defense, secretaries of the army, navy, and air force cia directors and national security council leaders under democratic and republican presidents, republican members of congress, and even former trump administration officials agree there's only one candidate fit to lead our nation, and that kamala harris i'm kamala harris and i approve this message night when i'm out just from matus firm. >> do you have a low price guarantee? so i sleep yet match
12:12 am
that mattress firm, sleep at night. holmes.com is a new elevated the home shopping experience beautiful design tremendously rich content, and my favorite touch, it's the only site that always connects you to the listing agent, feels like a work of art, lovely. what about the app? >> oh look what i did. it's bringing hello? >> hello, hello. >> again, hear you. >> hello because you glued a frame over the microphone. i think i've glued the frame over the microphone holmes.com. we've done your homework. >> teeth sensitivity is so common immediately feels like somebody's poking directly lonza i recommend censored censored in toothpaste goes inside the tooth the calm center of down and my patients day, you know, docket really works bader ginsburg has died at the age of 87
12:13 am
minnesota. >> when news broke of justice ginsburg's passing donald trump was rallying crowds in northern minnesota it was this surreal moment where the president of the united states is on stage and has no idea that this seismic event has just occurred she just died >> trump would find out not only been happening the first time she led an amazing light blue jean baby is playing in the background. any kind of takes on this solemn tone about her passing max, we said we hear that, but clearly an almost instantaneously his aides inside the west wing and republicans on capitol hill work gearing up for what they knew it would be a fight to get a new supreme court justice nominated and confirmed a fight
12:14 am
because ginsburg's passing was so consequential it seemed clear that chief justice john roberts had openly expressed his belief that precedent bound to the court to move slowly, and that made it seem unlikely that roberts would vote to overturn roe, at least in the near term unlikely with the slim conservative majority on the court of five to four. but replacing ginsburg would give trump an insurance policy justices got cold feet about overturning roe you wouldn't need that person. >> in other words, you've had six justices, not five. >> i believe it was maybe eight days after her death he nominated amy coney barrett. >> how important was it to trump to be able to put another supreme court justice on that court and do it quickly. >> it was something that he knew would be part of his legacy and reshaping the
12:15 am
supreme court was trump involved in this process. >> much trump was definitely involved. >> he wanted to put a woman on the supreme court. i think he thought it would help him more in the election today. >> it is, my honor to nominate one of our nation's most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the supreme the white house in the rose garden that was kind of the event that we identified as wherever spreader, a super spreader event my flashback memory of their extreme joy, their giddiness, almost in the face of what they knew they would be able to accomplish ending roe was a promise that candidate trump made during his presidential campaign in 2016. a promise to conservatives that if they got behind him, he'd do
12:16 am
something. no other president had been able to do. >> they am pro-life and i will be appointing pro-life judges everybody a significant contrast to the position donald trump took decades earlier i'm very pro-choice this is a businessman from new york, which is a pretty progressive city. >> he has always been more conservative than a lot of the people that he socialized with. but abortion was not one of those issues one of the first things he did in 2011 when he was thinking about running thank for president that cycle and he went to go speak to cpac, the conservative political action conference i'm pro-life when he ran in 2016, he understood that overturning roe v. wade was core conservative priority. so he agreed to put a list of judges out before the election who were conservative. >> i am going to give a list of
12:17 am
either five or ten judges that i will pick to show you may not trust me on this issue, but here's what i would do if i was president, i will guarantee that those are going to be the first judges that i put up for nomination. if i win, that tells me that. yes, i can trust you with my vote because on the issues that matter most to me, i can tell that these people are going to hopefully rule as we would want them to with their vote in 2016. and trump gave them what they wanted today. >> i am keeping another promise. >> starting with neil gorsuch, just weeks after taking office, then brett kavanaugh in 2018 and finishing off with amy coney barrett just a week before election day we were looking in that moment at the cementing of a super majority
12:18 am
of conservative justices with great fear because we knew the potential would move very quickly to overturn roe the supreme court has overturned roe v wade absolutely a static so it's been overturned president trump's appointments to the court are probably his lasting legacy. >> it's going along outlive donald trump, going long, i live his memory because a lot of justices he appointed judges are fairly young consequential legacies a huge win for trump and his conservative base for 54 years, they were trying to get roe v. >> wade terminated. and i did it but the reversal of roe would become a loss at the ballot box blunting the expected red wave in the 2022 midterms and being very
12:19 am
unpopular with voters as trump approaches 2024 he doesn't know how to talk about it. >> everybody does. >> he touted does he distance himself from it? he seems to choose a mixture of both. >> my view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint to states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both and whatever they decide must be the law of the land in this case the law of the state. >> donald trump thinks that he's been given a sort of a neat pass out of the debate by saying, well, we're just going to send it back to the states so that i'm going to throw up my hands and i don't have to worry about this anymore. >> but many believed the issue will be back on president trump's agenda in a second term, especially given his running mate's past support of a national abortion ban, i certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally the president has been very clear, he would not sign a national
12:20 am
abortion ban that he does support ivf. he does support fertility treatments and he supports the exceptions for rape, incest, the life of the mother. >> i think we've got to do so much better of a job at earning the american people's trust back on this issue, where they frankly just don't trust us. >> ultimately, what to trust actions or words trump is in the end, the president who credits himself with bringing down roe v wade, which enabled more than 20 states to ban abortion or significantly restrict the procedure donald trump that he would sign a national abortion ban if congress passed one and sent it to his desk. i strongly supported the house of representatives pain-capable bill, which would end painful late term abortions nationwide. >> what he's done is try for political reasons, not to
12:21 am
emphasize that in this 2024 campaign, but i don't think there's really any he doubt i believe he is saying what is politically convenient to get elected. >> so i'm not sure why i would start to believe him right now coming up. immigration, we are going to build a wall >> a hot dog is not a sandwich between brands. >> can i weigh in on this debate with department of agriculture generally defined sandwiches? meet between bread or a ban. >> what about subs you mean no way we work hard and we pay our taxes. but billionaires are getting away with paying less in taxes than we do donald trump gave them a huge tax break and wants to give them another one we're going to get the well, i'm not rich as hell kamala harris will cut taxes for working people and make

12:29 am
them, don't bring him across the border illegally the fire us attorneys stationed along the southwest border have really big concerns about what's going to happen to the children who are separated from their parents so that these prosecutions can take place. and what was the answer that they were given? >> jeff sessions doesn't answer their question. what he does say is we need to take away children. >> if you're a parent and you're driving a car while you're toxic, hated when the police shall up to take you away they take your kid away. they take your kid and put them in child protective services you break the law, you're going to be separated from your family over the next several weeks as many as 2000 children would be separated from their parents children were put into caged enclosures these are meant to be temporary facilities where children can only remain for 72 hours maximum but the government became so overwhelmed with so many new immigration cases have children remain stuck. the ones
12:30 am
who were old enough to understand what was happening would cry would scream, would bag for help. >> stories that were coming out where harrowing parents and children literally being pulled limb from limb from one another with children grabbing onto anything that they could the next step was for children to be transferred into the custody of the health and human services department, which was not prepared to take on as many as it had to you had facilities with staff who were not prepared or trained in how to handle traumatized children and how to respond to them i remember going to mcallen, texas through a garage type facility with chain fences around hundreds and hundreds of single man. there was not room for them by doubt smelled horrifically. it was pretty dragged phone. i went in the room with mike pence, was vice president at the time. and, you could tell parents were
12:31 am
shocked, go it thing to was the chaos. and frankly, the suffering of these families was the point they wanted to send a message. they sought that family separation when proved to be a very powerful deterrent, the cruelty is the point just been separated from their parents heard on leaked audio from inside the facility, six weeks after the policy took a fact that this is not the kind of thing we want in the country that we live in, right? >> i think a water left people thought that way. there was just an incredible backlash against the trump presidency, former first lady laura bush. she writes this in part, this zero tolerance policy is cruel. it is a moral, and it breaks my heart fair? >> what people begging them day in and day out, the caught off some republican senators were
12:32 am
begging the white house to call it off. president's own family members were saying something's got to give two days after that leak. trump abruptly ended the separations we're going to keep the families together. >> i didn't like the sight would a feeling of families being separated determined to deliver on his campaign promises? trump turned his attention to the border wall it was sort of a symbol of his presidency in his mind, big, its construction project you can touch it legally, see it and he first said mexico was going to pay for mexico obviously did not pay for the wall. he simply decided to take the money from the pentagon and to reprogram it in order to build portions of his promised border wall under trump's watch, nearly 500 good miles of border wall was built, but not nearly as much as he hoped. and still claims building 452 miles
12:33 am
of an effective ban we're a wall system. the roads, the lighting, the fiber optic cables gave border patrol officials a new capability that they didn't have a trump probably accomplished more all right. >> changing how people see immigration, changing, what people want the country to do on immigration than any politician. we've seen in a while. >> and according to recent polling, the majority of americans today support the idea of a border wall. >> we have a crisis in america on immigration. we haven't dealt with the issue of comprehensive immigration reform for years and years every administration takes down the road because it's so difficult to do three congress actually tried to pass a bipartisan border deal earlier this year the motion is not agreed to but trump helped torpedo it so he could campaign on the issue this fall a day one, we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in the history of our archived. they're poisoning the blood of
12:34 am
our country that's what they've done i mean, it's disgusting, but it's not the first time that he's used hitleresque language. >> and i think that the types of policies that he would pursue would be much more harsh and extreme when it comes to the border and immigration. >> people that don't have any legal right to remain here need to be removed. from the country, deporting individuals from any country is a fundamental part of any functioning country's immigration system. >> this idea of mass arrests, trump is very committed to that it's part of an immigration policy of he's reelected, does the trump campaign see it as realistic? they do. i mean, remember this is a singular calling card of his main policy adviser, stephen miller these kinds of crackdowns could end up just making life so miserable for so many undocumented immigrants that they either leave or choose not to come in the first place. the detention camps to round up immigrants and deport them. how important is that visual part
12:35 am
of the idea of that is a deterrence angle. and a toughness angle where the visual is very important. >> he is promising sort of an immigration agenda. we'd never really seen from a united states president add that magnitude. >> he sees that drilling down on immigration enforcement is a way to win elections. and so he's willing to do it to no end coming up if i'm president, i will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours. and trump says, he's going to just snap his fingers and all these problems are going a way. is there any policy behind that is just trump and bluster and salesmanship and nothing else >> does not care about black people the better or worse, a lot of people came away from that bag you and it's my turn to talk i must say tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture tomorrow at nine on

12:42 am
>> sending a very strong signal. you're not going to mess with the u.s. >> is it strategy or is it bluster? >> i think it was strategy. they were actually meetings and there were actually discussions about how we can start to move together the previous us policy had been tonight kim jong un trump flip-back, totally on its head for the hermit nation. >> it was a long sought goal for trump. he became the first sitting us president to enter north let's korea. it was just one of three face-to-face meetings historic moment, fact that we're making history making moment, but not a breakthrough north korea's nuclear buildup has only continued. >> and so did the warm relationship between the two leaders. >> grim ducking the right, trying multiple love letters in trump's mind, he would often be in the oval office and he would call out as assistant can
12:43 am
you bring in the love letters because he would want to show visitors will get the things that i have from kim jong un pushing allies became a recurring theme for trump's presidency. there, joined by a common heritage of democracy the north atlantic treaty organization founded in part by the united states in 1949, was trump's top target. >> donald trump's worldview was going america's allies rather than being assets, were her ripping us off nato members must finally contribute. >> their fair share and meet their financial obligations of these things when you make a commitment to say with nato spend 2% of your gross national product on the military then i expect you to live up to that
12:44 am
deal what trump would do instead of cultivating our eyes and trying to bring everyone together, was he with threatening cajole when bully these countries? >> it worked military spending from nato countries increased. but that did little to calm raw nerves in europe summit, all he really needed to do was to say the one-sentence, the united states absolutely remains committed to article five of the nato treaty, which is the mutual defense of our allies. it was in the draft of the speech. >> it was in the draft of this. he did not say it, did not say it. >> a handful of words left unsaid then an image seen around the world trump pushing aside the leader of nato, its newest member state, montenegro. >> it's like the visual representation of how donald trump saw his presidency and also how he saw our allies just as people to be shoved aside

compliment you're a very special man. >> trump heaped praise on chinese leader xi jinping my feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one, as we said, there's great chemistry he used tariffs to launch a trade war with china in 2018 china is been taken advantage of the united states for many years those tariffs were paid by americans, paid by american companies and ultimately by american consumers. the trump trade war probably cost americans about 300,000 jobs. probably cost the economy somewhere north so $40 i think it's worth bearing in mind that president biden kept some of these tariffs in place. >> but i think that there are reasons why economists have concerns about continuing down that path on a greater scale. >> trump insists that if he's elected president again, he would quote, fundamentally reevaluate nato's purpose if they're not going to pay, we're not going to protect. okay i don't think trump will walk away from nato.
12:47 am
>> i think it as a bargaining chip, i think it's a position of strength and negotiate from but if russia attacked us allies who don't spend enough on military defense, i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. you got to pay and ukraine would also be on trump's agenda if i'm president, i will have that war settled in one and day 24 hours if you ask people in ukraine they say that everything that we have fought for the blood and treasure that has been expended to try to protect ourselves would all be for nothing. >> putin would win the war caused by the attack on israel, would have never happened if i was president. he is intrigued maybe fixated on this idea of peace in the middle east he got the abraham accords the normalization agreement between israel and the united arab emirates and back rain and the
12:48 am
abraham accords to be fair to him, where a big deal they actually were a significant accomplishment, but but it was not you know, mideast peace when trump says he's going to just snap his fingers it's an all these problems aren't going away. >> is there any policy behind that or is that just trump? and the force of his personality is just trump and bluster and salesmanship and nothing that's it coming up. >> i don't think you're going to have another election in this. got you. if we don't win this election for you? are pretty yeah what are the kinds we could run on the news before then? i would never happen if i got news for you next saturday at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max approach to see the possibilities all around you. >> how would the curls there

be sworn in. donald trump was preparing to move out of others in america felt that he got ripped off, that he was cheated trump, i think was having a week's-long tantrum now, losing, the election. >> and i don't think there was so much of a thought about what the future would look like in terms of his legacy and being known for not being the person who adhered to customs president has now decided to snub the bidens for 152 years since the president of the united states refuse to attend the inauguration his successor i think he just would not give biden that moment. >> he knew that he had lost the election. he had publicly acknowledged it to people based on my reporting, i think the moment of actually handing over the reins of power to joe biden was something that he would not

bring himself to do thank you, very much for president obama. i'll be didn't like president trump very much, but he showed up and said, hey, listen, you're now the steward of our country. i think president trump owed that to america unprecedented final farewell speech. >> have a good life. we will see you soon. thank you. thank you very normally see in an election and in a transfer of power and that is going to be part of donald trump's legacy in history. we've never had a sitting president refuse to acknowledge that he was not reelected and be reluctant to pass the baton on peacefully. even cordially to the person who replaced him. that's never happened. >> like a lot of times have we we view some of these
12:55 am
traditions and at some point someone's going to be the first to change that tradition and move on. >> traditions and norms that donald trump pushed back on since the very beginning of his presidency. starting with the justice department, general flynn, the way he was treated very, very unfair when the president started asking, than director comey to actually drop investigations and stop pursuing lines of inquiry against people he liked it almost seemed like trump understood that there were these guardrails but he either didn't care about them or intentionally wanted to blow past that. you didn't really care. that what he was doing is essentially undermining the ability of the doj and the fbi to continue functioning in a way that the american people could be proud of. >> presidents have largely left fbi director's alone to avoid
12:56 am
the appearance of political interference. but instead, trump fired comey users show boat. >> he's a grandstander, attacked his attorney general jeff sessions for not doing enough to end the investigation into russian interference in the 2016 the election are recuse myself and eventually fired him to that in the post-watergate era, just violates what the norm has been and after richard nixon left office, and what has been adhered to by presidents for a very, very long time, trump saw no reason to have any distance between himself and the justice department trump went to war publicly and privately against career public servants who stood in his way. >> you have trump ours who are saying they believe the department of justice should be reported to the white house. the white house should tell the department of justice one today what we have seen now recently is that unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who don't change with administration's, they stay
12:57 am
the same they are the ones that are actually calling the shots and in many cases, as we saw with president trump, actively working against the elected president of the united states because they happen to disagree with him disagreeing when trump went after his political opponents investigated. >> he wanted james comey investigated. he wanted john kerry investigated so actually he already has a history of this and i expect that that would continue under no circumstances. you are promising america tonight. you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody except for day one. >> he says you're not going to be a dictator, are you i said no, no, no. >> other than day one as president trump chafed at restrictions on his executive powers and openly admired for an authoritarians who have no such limits. i think we're going to do tremendous things
12:58 am
for both china and for the united states. and it is a very, very great honor to be with you it would be unthinkable before donald trump for an american president to show hero worship of foreign dictators. a lot of friendships have been made and this has been in particular aggressor redshift. >> he says there strong, they're tough. and he says, quite clearly that that's somebody who i want to get to know often it's very striking because he will describe them as friends of mine. you don't hear other presidents talking about authoritarian leaders that way and historic crescendo in the aftermath of the 2020 election frankly, we did win this election. the election was totally rigged. >> this was a massive fraud. how was a rigged election? >> were in a position where we are in a pitched battle all right, now, with some fundamental differences in terms of the direction of our country and there are many times when we need to make our
12:59 am
opposition known. >> you don't think it matters whether trump lied about whether he lost the last election, which he lost fair and square. that doesn't matter. >> who look, they're there have been people questioning our elections in our election results, going back for, for 25-30 years now, i think it's rationalization. there hasn't been an election where one party's supporters stormed the capitol during the electoral college certification of the election. so this is just fundamentally different. >> the extent of his challenges, the length of them be projection of falsehoods about widespread fraud that was just never substantiated. >> he added that is different than what we have seen. >> i don't think you're going to have another election in this country if we don't win this election to undermine an election. again, if he loses donald trump has told us from the very beginning of his time i'll
