. >> my name is john anderson. i am a san francisco resident. i have been -- my wife also is here. we have been super green customers for least a year. i would like to say that our experience in enrolling echoed what commissioner sullivan has said. it was not straightforward, and required a couple of calls to the p.u.c. at the risk of obsessing over the super green enrolment, which i think it's very important, especially because the commissioner just said, it's -- they just said its price to build new infrastructure which we certainly need i've been talking to friends and coworkers trying to get them to talk about it just a sort of an informal of the four or five coworkers that i have talked to, one had heard of super green, and had no idea how it worked or how to sign up for it, so these people are a professional colleges. they are passionate about protecting the land and the environment. and furthermore, they are literate, college-educated, and tech savvy. all of the possible demographics , you would expect them to know most about the super green, and yet, they don't so a comment

john m. just moments ago, we got the roots on the obamacare vote. what have you learned about mccann? >> reporter: anderson, i talked to a former mccain aide who worked with the senator right up until his death and was around for when this repeal and replace vote went down when john mccain gave that now famous thumbs down to the gop repeal and replace plan and angered the us who, angered the president. you heard the president talk about that today. in the word of this aide, nope, never happened. he was not one to consult the white house before he acted and then this aide added the question, you're surprised that trump lied? this aide added. and so they, inside mccain world, they are furious with the way the president has been behaving over the last few days, going after john mccain. this is a factual error according to people who work for the late senator. >> has the white house had anything to say about what cindy mccain posted today? >> reporter: no, they haven't. i think it is worth reminding folks, anderson, this is the sort of thing that happens all the time. when the president lashes out at any numbe

but he can't help himself from once again attacking john mccain, who's both a war hero and deceased. >> well, i think it's very straightforward, anderson. john mccain was and in our heart remains the man trump could never be. and trump knows it. it's a classic case of male fears of inadequacy. it goes along perfectly with his lifelong obsession with having women on his arm that look like teenage boys' fantasies. he wants to show us all how tough he is. but he's not tough. he's a draft dodger. and he appears to be a physical coward with a big mouth. >> it seems to me the people who are actually tough, who have actually been in tough situations and shown themselves and have risen to those situations to meet them, they don't talk tough necessarily. they often are the quietest person in the room. >> yeah. indeed. it's just an old rule. the guy who brags at the bar wasn't a hero. myself, i've been privileged to know some men and women whom i regard as genuine heroes. and john mccain, who i knew slightly as well. and no, they don't shoot off their mouths. they don't gratuitously ll lly people. they don't incite hatred. on the contrary. the p

anderson starts now. >>> good evening. johnews. did the president just threaten to block the release of the mueller report? we don't know for sure but depending on how you read what he just wrote, he might have. a little background first. this afternoon in a letter to congress attorney general bill barr said the mueller report will be ready for release by mid-april if not sooner. that full report is nearly 400 pages excluding

john anderson on the strength of one line in one tee bait, how are you going to cut tacks and the deficitd for a time was running even with carter and reagan in the polls. i really think given the enormous size of this field and the fact that so many people are relatively unknown, you could be looking at that june debate and there could be this one moment where one of these people, maybe it's mayor pete, maybe it's joe biden, if he's in by then. i'm assuming he will be. hit something and resonate. and in the chaos of all this noise and coverage of numbers, one moment where a guy steps out, or a woman steps out and hits a resonate note, that could reshape the entire race. >> what do you think of john kerry, the possibility of john kerry running? >> you know, sure. mike grevel just said he may come into this race, the alaskan senator. i understand your theory. i'm hard pressed to figure out what he brings to the race that the 16 others don't. what's the unique selling proposition, as madison avenue says? >> he has been there. he knows how to win. he knows how to run a presidential race. he

anderson starts now. >>> good evening. john berman here for anderson, and we begin with this breaking news. did the president just threaten to block the release of the mueller report? we don't know for sure but depending on how you read what he just wrote, he might have. a little background first. this afternoon in a letter to congress attorney general bill barr said the mueller report will be ready for release by mid-april if not sooner. that full report is nearly 400 pages excluding tables and appendic appendices. that was mid-afternoon. just minutes ago the president, the same president who over the past week has said he's for the full release of the report wrote this. robert mueller was a hero to the radical left democrats until he ruled that there was no collusion with russia, so ridiculous to even say, after more than two years since the insurance policy statement was made by a dirty cop, i got the answers i wanted, the truth. the problem is no matter what the radical left democrats get, no matter what we give them, it wi

investigating trump is not easy, according to connecticut representative and louie anderson playing ted kennedy ( laughter ) johnarson. larson complained, "when have we ever had a presidency when the news cycle is dictated in the morning by what he tweets? you're working overtime to make your case, and it's like pushing the bean uphill: you realize what a difficult job it is in this environment." first of all, cry me a river, larson. try making it funny. ( laughter ) second, "pushing a bean uphill?" push the bean uphill. is that a thing? (as larson) "investigating trump is like trying to get milk from a stone, but there's plenty of fish in the mall, and the early bird catches the syphilis." ( laughter ) and new york congressman hakeem jeffries put it this way. "donald trump is like the wizard of oz: he creates all this imagery-- this chaos, this crisis, this confusion." he's right. trump is actually every character in "the wizard of oz." his bone spurs make him a cowardly lion. kids in cages prove he doesn't have a heart. his spelling shows he doesn't have a brain, and he's the subject of a "witch hunt." ( cheer

anderson. joining me now is john kasich. you said it must continue unfettered.ction now that it's been completed? >> well, they have to release the report and i'd like to rephrase what you said earlier and that's thank goodness that we don't have the president somehow implicated with the foreign power. >> that's good news for everybody. >> very good news. but i feel like we're off to the races again when it comes to the issue of frankly not putting this on this congresswoman but we see a lot of hate in the country today. i made a list. people hate hillary, they hate obama. they hated bush jr., they hate trump, they hate pelosi now they hate mccain. every headline can't be about -- first of all -- >> you forget media by the way -- >> well, i didn't put them because they're not a person, but you're right. we don't believe the media, and all this business of hatred. i know you understand this is taking us down a path. it's like the civil war and everyone has to take revenge on somebody else and then next group's going to take -- and then, anderson, what about the t

anderson in memory of her late husband who. reads guitars rang out in new york's cathedral of st john the divine but not in the usual way. his former guitar technician used the instruments to generate feedback by placing them against amplifiers the result a haunting array of unpredictable sounds was like an echo from the past the show was part of the temporary exhibition at the cathedral the concert was open to the public and free of charge. leaving your cars and shipped to concentrate. open to. start. just. so i think it's beautiful. you are a dyed in twenty thirteen at the age of seventy one he rose to fame in the one nine hundred sixty s. as front man for the velvet underground today reed is known as the godfather of punk rock it was a proud new yorker and his concept of allowed him to honor his city posthumously. it's a nice thing to celebrate a birthday party it's just this is. only the main guest this week here except only in spirit so. lou reed probably would have been joined this concert he was a musician he was open to experimentation laurie anderson described him as one of the first noise artists who got a litt

anderson. >> jim acosta, jim, thanks. for more on the breaking news, i want to bring in cnn analyst john dean and two of our legal analysts, laura coates and jeffrey toobin. technically, jeff, mueller works at the justice department, which answers to the white house. the president can legally exert executive privilege, no? >> absolutely. and it's worth remembering, people may remember the starr report and how long that was and detailed. he was an independent counsel. he didn't report to the justice department. he reported to a three-judge panel that appointed him. mueller's in a very different situation here. mueller is an employee of the department of justice. so if -- and william barr, the attorney general, is his boss. and if he says, this report will not be disclosed or parts of it will not be disclosed, mueller has no remedy except to resign in protest, because he's simply a subordinate. >> although mueller could be, then, subpoenaed by house democrats and to testify about what was in the report? >> he could. and that's where the legal complexities begin about whether congress would have access to that, although exec

also john pistole, who was a deputy to mueller when mueller was fbi director and is now the president of anderson also garrett graff is here, the author of the threat matrix, inside robert mueller's fbi. john pistole, i'm going to start with you. you worked for mueller. the question is why? why would the special counsel not come to a conclusion on obstruction of justice? >> i think there's a couple aspects of it. one is we just have the barr memo summarizing, so we don't know exactly what the mueller memo says. it could be there was sufficient evidence that would be to charge somebody in a difficult situation of conspiracy or obstruction of justice. but because of the doj guidance that you don't indict a sitting president, it may be that robert mueller decided to hedge on that from the standpoint of deferring to the attorney general, the deputy attorney general as his mandate was. and so to take it from there and say there is evidence here of obstruction as was noted, he's not exonerated, so take it from there and say, okay. given that precedence and that -- just the situation of we don't indict

but you know, anderson, i was certainly not in favor of appointing john bolton. was quite critical of him. i am no fan of john bolton. but i appreciate the fact that you have somebody in the white house who has a different view and perhaps may be a check on donald trump's desire to reach out to kim, lhis new best frien with whom he claims to be in love. so i think john bolton can serve as a reality check upon those impulses. >> if, in fact, he does that. in that fox interview or maybe it was to jake he said, my opinion doesn't matter. he's the national security adviser. actually, his opinion matters greatly or it should matter greatly to the president. the hope is, fine, i understand him not expressing it on television, but you would hope that he would express it face-to-face with the president. >> and i think that's the big question. we don't know what he's saying behind closed doors. i will say, even what he's saying in public is not going to sit well with president trump, because trump wants complete toadyism from his surrogates and officials. so he's not goin

anderson, that's right. you know, we reported many, many months ago that john kelly, who was then the chief of staff, was askedry to somehow expedite the move of his adult children, of jared kushner and ivanka trump, back to new york city where they were from. the president denied this to both of them, according to our reporting after we reported it, and people close to them told us that, no, that could not be true, what we were reporting was wrong. it wasn't wrong then and it's clearly based on the reporting of this vicky ward book and not wrong now. it highlights again the complication for the president of having family members serving in official positions there. >> and what is it that he -- why did he want them back in new york? was it to protect them? was it just he didn't like having them there? do we know? >> i think it was some combination therein and possibly some factors that we're not aware of. but certainly i think that he considered it to be, you know, complicating for him. they wanted priorities that were not necessarily shared by him. there were issues around jared kushner's -- he was he was the

against cohen were, quote, specious, pointing to implicate john edwards on similar charges and according to gop aides who were in the room, anderson. >> i don't quite understand how nadler and -- the democrat and the republican can have such dia metticry opposed accounting of what whitaker actually said and the meaning of it. is the transcript going to be released? is there any way to tell what whitaker actually said? >> well, unfortunately for us, this was behind closed doors today. there is no transcript. so like most things in life, it will come down to credibility determination and whose side you believe and which one sounds more like the facts. >> laura jarrett, thank you. >>> you'll recall the question of whether the president asked him acting attorney general to take action against the southern district. it has come up before. such as this moment not long after whitaker's testimony. >> did you ask acting attorney general matthew whitaker to change the leadership of the investigation into your former personal attorney michael cohen? >> no. not at all. i don't know who gave you that -- that is more fake news. a lot of -- ther

hiding their true intentions john bolton said we need to go into venezuela to steal their oil but our media continues to protect them even after bolton said that you don't see anderson cooper or what a fox news is a grand wizard saying the venezuelan coup is about getting their oil no c.n.n. and the others keep defending the propaganda lie and you know what we want to help the poor people of venezuela if you want to help people then keep america out of their face all right. still they want them to have anything to do with the country that invented drive thru fried food served in a bucket and we're right nasals play is all right at no point does anyone look at the donald trump president say and go wow that country really has things figured out i hope they bring some of their great decision making fun of somebody who was a d.c. based there was. a . come on line candlestick. news from behind we're going to spend the next forty five minutes of this half hour show on michael owen's testimony to congress and we're doing that because we're not doing it i've got to get you realize that what cohen said on every other television show i think that you know where i will give yo

and so i think that john kelly wanted documentation of how this was done, and this has become more of an issue, andersoncause of the timing, because the democratic controlled house already was planning on looking at clearances, but also because at the time this clearance was granted, abbe lowell, jared kushner's lawyer, went on television and said this was a standard process. this went through a normal route. when i asked the president in the oval office a few weeks ago if he had ordered people to give his son-in-law clearance, he said no, he didn't get involved and didn't even think he had that power. >> right. >> ivanka told abc news that her father didn't get involved. he legally has the authority to do it, and it was frankly a questions that they all said yes, this is what happened. >> he point-blank denied having any interaction on kushner's security clearance. and to your point, ivanka trump as well in a television interview said, you know, that it was a completely normal process. >> correct. they painted this as a sort of standard operating procedure. i think ivanka trump's explanation to abc was

noticed research, because of your monologue on john brennan in your passion for how much he has screwed up. what happens is, if you're rachel maddow, if you're andersonna. i get it. you're on television delivering the news, but when you're john brennan, you're hired to be an expert. when you come out and say the president has been compromized. he is stooge of vladmir putin. the president will go to jail. this is treasonous, it is not looked at someone just ranting. looks as if they're going, wait a second, what does he know? he knows robert mueller. he worked with him for years. he must know. it turns out he doesn't know, or, i have another theory. as they begin to peel this open, john brennan was so passionate against the president, and president is proven to be so innocent, he took his top secret clearance away. why was he so angry? is he worried about us penetrating more and more what he may or may not have done in 2016 to bring us to this place? stuart: that's a fair speculation to make, brian. that is a fair thing to ask, really is. let's talk tactics for a second. the president is counterpunching hard. he is going after the media. he is probabl

anderson starts next. >>> good evening, the suggestion that a public servant has loyalties to a foreign power or group is as old as it is offensive. john kennedy was accused of owing allegiance to the pope. over the years muslims, catholics, soeshlgists, free masons and others have been accused of having duel loyalty but no group has dealt with it more often than jewish americans, which is why tonight we're tackling the subject head on, which is what critics say is more than democrats have done. they're trying to figure out how to handle ilhan omar's anti-semitic comments. prior to that responding to a tweet from journalist glen gr n greenwald he said the cost of free speech in this country, omar replied, it's all about the benjamins. she's since apologized and tried to change the subject saying at the same time i reaffirm the role of lobbyists in our politics, it's gone on too long and we must be willing to address it. yesterday the house passed a resolution on hate and intolerance, largely in response to the congresswoman's recent remarks, the resolution is taking heat on a number of fronts, particularly it's so broad it's almost mea

anderson. >> jim acosta, thanks very much. more reporting now as well as some of the best political and legal folks we know, legendary and investigative reporter carl bernstein, john dean, jeffrey toobin, gloria borger, and cnn crime and justice reporter shimon prokupecz. any clear sense that we did last night, the week before that, or several months before that about when this report may actually be done? >> all we know is we're certainly closer to getting this report than we were. >> probably yesterday. >> okay. >> look. >> way to go out on a limb, shimon. >> we really did think it was go b you can see this by the reaction of the media. this is the first time we've had this many cameras outside of mueller's office, right? i've been there. we have a team that's there every day. no one has really been going there. today there was more press than there has ever been outside that office in really the last two years. so that was an indication that everyone thought that this was going to be today there have been other signals, certainly for the last few weeks that there has been nothing going on. we haven't seen any activity at the grand jury. we haven't seen really a

john gotti, and you know, he's got his kids in the white house. he's got his son-in-law in the white house. it's -- we have just never seen anything like this. >> i think, andersonappening right now is that as the mueller report is being awaited and we're all eager to read it, that it's also true that people are saying the mueller report is becoming less and less important in the big scheme of things. the issue is not whether he worked with the russians. of course, that's central to the investigation by mueller, but the issue increasingly for the public is is he fit for the office. he is morally fit to lead the country and lead to world. i think a lot of people are coming to a negative conclusion. >> the idea of even talking about morals is -- david axelrod, that's not even a conversation one normally associates. it's like talking about a sense of shame that's not something someone would talk about. >> i think he thinks morals and shame are for suckers. look, the investigation has shifted to new york because the focus is now on his business and the way in which he conducted his business. and what he has done is he's brought trump organization ethics to the oval
