joining us from columbia south carolina we have cnn's don lemon. don, you had the first interview with nikki haley a short time ago after the flag came down. what did she say? >> she said a lot in that interview and it was probably the most personal interview that i have seen of her where, you know you interview governors and lawmakers and, you know they come off as politicians. she did not come off as a politician. she came off as someone who is very very human and very very touched by this. and i think the one word that she said was -- that i can say about this interview, i think, that she learned from this was empathy, empathy. how to walk in someone else's shoes. and she thinks that's what this is a lesson in. take a look. >> it's important for people to know what it's like to be in another person's shoes and if you watch the legislative debate, that's what happened. people put themselves in each other's shoes. so they understood what the respect of tradition and heritage was and that it wasn't about hate. but the other side also learned

that's don lemon. that's don lemon. what does fox have to say about this?laughter) i'm not sure if i can watch. >> there was no reason whatsoever to arrest her. she didn't have to listen to him for that reason. she had to give him her driver's license and her information and that was it. >> why is she in jail for three days? >> on $5,000 bail! there needs to be an intense investigation. (cheers and applause) (laughter) >> larry: this is how you know how [ bleep ] crazy a situation is. (cheers and applause) right? when i totally agree with white people who are talking about race on fox. (cheers and applause) right? oh! that's how crazy it is. anyone else who i always vehemently disagree with also getting this right? anyone? anyone? >> i thought it was terrible. (laughter) >> larry: you've got to be [ bleep ] me! (laughter) >> i thought it was terrible. i thought he was so aggressive. it was a traffic signal, as i understand it, and, you know who gets out of a car for a traffic signal? i'm a huge fan of the police but this guy was overly aggressive. terribly

don lemon is correct. the article trump cites the women coming across the border are raped by the coyotes and other people. it is not the article or people coming to the country and performing sexual crimes. it is interesting to hear that. >>> new trouble for donald trump's miss usa. flo-rida is bowing out. he was scheduled to be a performer on the bill. natalie lerose and others dropped out as well. running back emmet smith quit as a judge. there is one of the final five judges left on the panel. nbc and univision cut ties with the broadcast. it will be streamed online on july 12th. >>> now to the fourth of july holiday. fears of an attack on american soil. fbi and department of homeland security and counterterrorism department is saying the threat is higher this fourth of july. the aggressive use of social media of isis is one of the reasons. major cities like new york are deploying radiation deterrerctors are in place as well as increased security on the streets. >> this is the most complex counterterro

. >>> our cnn editor don lemon just spoke with donald trump. don, what did he tell you?rview, but we will talk about later, specifically, wolf, i'm sure you want to hear about his account as it relates to michael cohen. he's upset with the daily beast for publishing a story that was 30 years old and he and his wife and everyone involved had denied for decadeses now, he also says he wasn't sure if the daily beast is reporting it right, he doesn't agree with the comments, if michael cohen made them. here's what he said to me moments ago. >> you still stand by michael cohen? >> no, you have to understand my goal was extremely angry, you knew it never took place, this website was a joke, considered a joke. he was very angry, maybe he didn't understand the question. no, i don't, i disagreed with him. in fact when i read it, i disagreed. who knows what he said, frankly, i'm not sure they reported it accurately anyway, but, assuming he said it, no, i disagree with that. >> you're not going to fire him or get rid of him? >> no, i'm not. he was angry, they issued a false story to

cnn tonight anchor don lemon just finished speaking with south carolina's governor nikki haley. joins me live from the capital in columbia. so what did the governor say, don? >> you know, ashleigh, it's weird. right after she presided over this historic ceremony, she came right into her office where he had our cameras set up and you could feel that she was touched. she was moved by this and in that interview she was very candid about her experiences as a child growing up, the child of indian immigrants here in south carolina and she said that wasn't easy as a child, she shared personal experiences with me. and that was my takeaway from the interview. i noticed it and she said it that she, this experience, changed her. she's a changed person from this. >> it's important for people to know what it's like to be in another person's shoes and if you watch the legislative debate that's what happened. people put themselves in each other's shoes so they understood what the respect of tradition and heritage was and that it wasn't about hate. but the other side also learned how painful th

fascinating things to say in the interview with don lemon. don was pressing him on his claims about mexican immigrants. don citing reports that trump pretends to show rapists coming into the united states but don pressed him on that. >> don, all you have to do is go to fusion and pick up the stories on rape. it is unbelievable when you look at what is going. all i'm doing is telling the truth. >> i read the washington post and fusion and huffington post. that is about women being raped. not about criminals coming across the border or entering the country. >> somebody is doing the raping don. somebody is doing it. women being raped. who is doing the raping? >> donald trump saying who is doing the raping. the reports from fusion talk about people coming to the united states. women raped along the way by coyotes and government officials in mexico and other latin american nations as a price to get to the united states. donald trump seems to be interpreting that article in an interesting way. more trouble for the miss usa pageant. flo-rida bowed ou

donald structure is unapologetic. >> and in fine form speaking with our don lemon on wednesday. e with the u.s. presidential candidate about his claims that rapist and killers were migrating over the nation's southern border. don also asked trump about the numerous companies who stopped doing business with him. let's listen. >> let's talk about mexico. and you did mention nbc not being happy. they cut ties with you because of your comments about mexican immigrants. >> they are weak. >> nbc you think? >> it's sad to see. i'm talking not about mexico but about illegal immigration and it has to be stopped in this country. it's killing our country. people are pouring over the borders, pouring. we have incredible border patrols. these are incredible people and they are instructed they can't do anything. people are pouring into the united states. i guess some come from mexico but they come from all over the world. we don't even know where they come from. >> why did you say they are rapists, though, donald? >> who is racist -- >> not racist. no why did you say they were rapists? >> if y

but don lemon called. and when don lemon calls, you answer the call, baby. >> thank you, sir. steven baldwin's new movie is called faith about fathers. it's out nationwide right now. thanks again, steven baldwin. when we come back, donald trurp's ms. usa pa jent had the lowest ever. but that's not tarnishing the crown of the winner. ms. usa o live ya jordan is here. e the goodness that goes into making a power kale chicken caesar salad is rivaled only, by the goodness felt while eating one. panera. food as it should be. the lincoln summer invitation is on. get exceptional offers on the compact utility mkc, mkz sedan... the iconic navigator. and get a first look at the entirely new 2016 mid-size utility lincoln mkx. lease the 2015 mkc for $369 a month with $0 down, $0 first month's payment and $0 cash due at signing. i heard you lost a close one today. look, jamie, maybe we weren't the lowest rate this time. but when you show people their progressive direct rate and our competitors' rates, you can't win them all. the important part is, you helped them save. thanks, flo. okay, l

i never thought i would say this but don lemon-- mr. lemon you're our last hope. >> i have lead-- i've read the washington post. i read the fusion i read the huffington post. an that's about women being raped. it's not about criminals coming across the border or entering the country. >> somebody's doing the raping, don. i mean you know i mean somebody's doing it it's women being raped, well who is doing the raping? >> larry: who's doing the raping? okay, who's bringing the chips? who's bringing the beer? wait, wait who's doing the raping? oh okay very good very good. i didn't know i had to ask. i have to tell you though as far as campaign slogans go done all trump 2016 who's doing the raping? right? it's not bad. (cheers and applause) >> larry: it's not bad. hope and change who's doing the raping? not a bad ring to it but i tell you one group that all this doesn't seem to turn off. >> amid the controversy trump had been surging in the republican polls. up to second place in the first primary state of new hampshire. >> whose's the best o

not over a symbol. >> don lemon joining us from south carolina along with state senator marlon kimpsonformer atf special agent in charge matthew horace. don, big day. you were there to see it. you talked to the governor. what else did she say? >> listen, it's important. look it's not fair. the flag is gone. and the pole is gone. and i think that's what the governor was working towards, at least these past three weeks. and i talked to her, i said you evolved over time about this. she said i didn't really evolve i just -- it never really came up. that's according to her in her time as governor to have the flag come down. but she understands that some people see this flag as a symbol of pride and heritage history. she said that doesn't mean that this flag should continue to stand and that it should be in a relic room where it is and it should be part of a museum. but it doesn't mean that it should stand on statehouse grounds. she also said that this changed her personally. and that she now understands even more about empathy and walking in other people's shoes. if this causes someone else

i'm don lemon. the president calling out the network reporter who suggested he was content to leave the four americans in iran. >> major, that's nonsense. and you should know better. >> plus, the $10 billion man. that's what donald trump says he is worth. but can he afford to run for president? we'll do the math for you. and i'll talk exclusively to the "celebrity apprentice" contestant and rock & roll hall of famer that has surprising views on donald trump. >>> and cnn's chief congressional correspondent, dana bash, who joins us from washington. dana, donald trump put his money where his mouth is, and sooner than expected. what's the bottom line. >> he says he has a net worth of $10 billion and an income last year alone of $362 million. he also says that the television show that he was on, the apprentice that you were talking about, says he earned about $213 million over the 14 seasons. but here is the important but. we can't verify this because we don't have the details of the financial disclosure

cnn's don lemon is in columbia with the latest. >> reporter: john 22 days after the massacre at the ame church in charleston, south carolina governor haley signed the bill that the flag must come down. it will come down within a few hours here. there will be a ceremony. when she signed that bill yesterday, what she said was that generations of americans, generations around the world will look at south carolina differently. >> this is the story about the history of south carolina and how the action of nine individuals laid out this long chain of events that forever showed the state of south carolina what love and forgiveness looks like. i will tell you now this is about our children. because when they go back and look at the history books, while we're still grieving and the grieving will last for a long time and the emotions will start to fade the history of the actions that took place by everyone in south carolina to get us to the moment is one we can all be proud of. >> reporter: the eyes of the world were on south carolina governor as she signed that bill. even the former president bi

i'm don lemon. "ac 360" starts right now.

and now here comes the judge saying well, you gave that interview to don lemon, that was something cited in one of the footnotes. you gave that interview to don lemon and you talked about the african-american community needing in some respects to clean up its act. therefore, i think i'm going to release this information about the sexual inproprieties. to me it's a disconnect. >> but michael, what about a kid -- the judge gave cosby the opportunity. it is not as if the judge went in and said look. you gave the interviews. i don't like the comment you're in. come forward and give me a legal compelling information and argument why this information shouldn't be disclosed. this is information about drugs, rape and sexual assault. the head of the cosby team, giving the judge more to work with we could see a different outcome. >> i did say three times. now we know this information. thank you. >> you said that. >> areeva martin. >>> millions have now seen her face but nobody has come forward to claim baby doe. now new details in the investigation. >>> also a quadriplegic man fired from his job f

cohen has since apologized for the mark and trump tells cnn's don lemon, the matter is closed. >> do you still stand by michael cohen? >> no. you have to understand, michael was extremely angry because he knew it never took place and he was angry and maybe he didn't understand the question but, no i don't disagreed with him. when i read it i disagreed. who knows what he said because, frankly, i'm not sure they reported accurately but assuming he said it no i disagree with that. >> you're not going to fire him or get rid of him? no i'm not. he was very angry because they issued a false story to get publicity for themselves to make themselves relevant. and others are failing in that world. a lot of them are failing but this one is a particularly bad one. a lot of money was spent on it and it's been a disaster and he knew that and he said to them, you know you're doing the wrong thing. you do this you're doing the wrong thing. so what happened is he probably got angry. no i disagree with him. when i first saw it i said wow, you know, it's something i disagree with but that's the way it

to discuss let's bring in cnn's gloria borger and don lemon. don, first to you.hat he commented on this? >> i'm shocked that he's commented, but i'm also glad that he commented on it and i thought his -- i thought his comments were right on mark and appropriate. he said i don't comment on specifics. he didn't specifically mention bill cosby. >> he commented without commenting. >> he commented without commenting and i think advocacy groups are applauding him for doing this and i'm sure the women who have accused bill cosby are applauding him saying this and i think overall beyond bill cosby he's actly right. bill cosby, you know, he hasn't been convicted of anything or found guilty. he denies all the allegations, but beyond bill cosby he's right. anyone who does what he says you gave a man or a woman a drug and you have sex with them without consent that's rape he said in a civilized country, in any country anywhere. >> gloria, i want to get your thoughts as you were watching the president respond what. were you thinking? were you surprise that had he kept going a

don lemon spoke with mr.what he had to say. >> everybody loves him according to donald trump. it does appear that a lot of people love him. if you look at the polls people love him. he says even among veterans polls show people choosing him over mccain for veterans. people do love donald trump. we spoke about everything from the job market to stocks to whether or not the rnc loves him, who loves him, who doesn't and why he is doing so well in the polls. >> is the rnc getting warmer towards you? or do you think that because i read in the hill that possibly you would do a third-party bid? are they worried about that and will you do it? >> well i think they've become very warm since they see that i'm leading in all the polls. you know, i've hit a chord. the middle class is really liking me a lot because we have to bring back the middle class in our country. they're really liking me. the vets are loving me. you're seeing that more than anybody. that's been resonating. the -- on the border the people that want --

i'm don lemon. authorities say this shooter, this muhammad usef is also dead.

interview to don lemon and talked about the african-american community needing to clean up its act.refore, i think i'm going to release this information about the sexual improprietyies, to me it's a disconnect. >> michael, what about the judge -- the judge gave cosby an opportunity. it's not as if he came in and said look you gave these interviews so i'm going to disclose this information. give me a legal reason a compelling legal reason why this information should not be disclosed, and the best reason that cosby's fantastic highly paid legal team could come up with is that it would be embarrassing that's not a compelling legal reason given the public's right, the public's interest in this information about drugs, sex, rape sexual assault. i think had the teen the cosby team given the judge more to work with we may have seen a different outcome. >> i did say three times, i'm happy we know this information, right? >> you said that. >> arriva martin. >>> millions have now seen her face no one has come forward to claim baby doe, now new details in the investigation. >>> also a quadripl

i'm don lemon, ac 360 starts right now. >> good evening. thanks for joining us.night in the death of a woman in jail after police pulled her over for failing to signal. sandra wlabland was later found dead. authorities say her death is being investigated like a murder. we have're going to have a lot more on this a little bit later on.

don lemon is in columbia. talk about the governor right after. >> reporter: yeah i absolutely was able to talk to her right after. our conversation brianna, was very interesting. i got to see both of them, both 9 flag come down and you have to tell you, it was just as momentous an occasion i think to watch the pole come down as well. then you knew for sure nothing else is going back up there. but speaking to the governor she was very personal about why she felt this flag should come down. >> so governor you will remember where you were on july 10th 2015 you presided over history. what does that mean to you? >> you know, this is a surreal moment. standing out there watching that flag come down it felt like the biggest weight was lifted off the state. it just felt so -- it's like the state -- it's a true new day in south carolina. it feels like a new day in south carolina. >> you have said this i don't know if it's in the exact words. you weren't always on the side of taking this down but i think it takes a big

i want to go -- don lemon's interview, see the full interview, that's at 10:00 eastern with don lemonger and ben ferguson. ben, trump taking hits. business hits maybe representationrepresentutation, but not from voters. a poll conducted in the midst of this controversy. he is taking a stand actually could be helping him. right? >> i think all of this is helping him from his perspective. he looks like he's a victim. he will play this victim card of i'm being picked on because i'm the one saying -- being the truth teller here. back me. support me. i'm the one because they are coming after me. it may work with some voters. ult pat ultimately he is filling a void. no one else in the gop primary right now has come close to being as blunt as he is. some of it i think is crossing a line. but ultimately people want a bold and blunt candidate going into this primary season. >> something certainly is helping trump. i don't know what you want to say it is but something is. it's not just the poll. this one is actually more incredible. this is in iowa a state where everyone said donald trump has n

let's go to my colleague don lemon who is in columbia south carolina. you were there for the removal this morning. but we have to talk about this big interview. the governor of south carolina. >> yes. >> what did nikki haley tell you? >> and we'll talk about that. that's why i said and friend. because we are friends and i wish i could have shared this moment with all of my friends. but this was a moment for america, especially sons and daughters of the south, for people who have been under the oppressive flag for all of their lives. that's why i said and friend. i wanted to share that with you, brooke because it was moving. and look behind me. it's gone. the flagpole is gone. it's gone and they just removed the pole just moments ago. and so i would say it's the end of an era and the beginning of another era, not only for the south but for the united states of america. and that's what i spoke to the governor about who said that she's a changed person as well and she talked to me about growing up here in the south. take a listen. so governor, you will rem

. >> reporter: trump himself addressed the controversy this afternoon in an interview with don lemon. >> so what happened is he probably got angry. i disagree with it. when i first saw it i said wow, you know something i disagree with but that's the way it is and, you know he's speaking for himself. he's not speaking for me obviously. >> reporter: in a statement today, cohen tried to walk back saying the reporter upset him and that in my moment of shock and anger, i made an inarticulate comment which i do not believe and apologize for entirely. meanwhile, trump's former wife ivanna, the mother of three of his children called "the daily beast" account of her rape allegation totally without merit say i think he would make an incredible president. it's too soon to tell whether the latest dustup will cost donald trump support but this is not the conversation the trump campaign was hoping to be having days before the first republican presidential debate. kate? >> you can be sure though that conversation is continuing now ahead of that debate. sarah, thanks so much. >>> "outfront" with us t

we also have don lemon in south carolina. he spoke with the governor there. governor nikki haley about why it was time for the flag to come down and also how lawmakers found a way to finally make this happen. >> it's important for people to know what it is like to be in another person's shoes and if you watch the legislative debate that's what happened. people put each other in each other's shoes so they understood what heritage and tradition was and it wasn't about hate but the other side also learned how painful that flag was and the pain that it was causing people. that's what brought south carolina to this new day, was the ability to look at each other and listen and say, it's time. >> you will hear much more with governor haley and don lemon at the top of the next hour at 3:00 eastern. in the meantime staying in south carolina let me bring in representative jerry govan. welcome. >> pleasure to be here. >> pleasure to have you, sir. i know this is very personal for you. you bear the scars not just symbolically but physically from the state's racist past.

don lemon was there at the ceremony.vernor who throughout this controversy has not been talking to the media. you got a chance to ask questions. what did she say? >> reporter: i did, right after the flag was taken down. she said a lot. really she was very aware of the enormity of the situation, that this was history in the making. while she knew most of the eyes of the country were going to be on her because it was her decision to sponsor the bill to bring it down she said she was focused on the families of those nine people who died in the church three weeks ago. >> you know this is a surreal moment. standing out there and watching that flag come down it felt like the biggest weight was lifted off the state. it just felt so -- it's like the state -- it's a true knewnew day in south carolina. born and raced in south carolina. the daughter of indian parents. >> reporter: does it make you more connected to the issue? do you have a special feeling? >> we grew up an indian family in a small town in south carolina. my father

for his part, donald trump slammed the daily beast report and explained to cnn's don lemon why he won't be firing cohen. >> michael was extremely angry because he knew it never took place. he knew this web site was a joke, considered a joke and he was very angry and maybe he didn't understand the question but i disagreed with him. when i read it i disagreed. i didn't know he said it. who knows what he said because frankly i'm not sure they reported accurately anyway. assuming he said it, i disagree with that. >> but you're not going to fire him or get rid of him? >> no, i'm not. he was very angry because they issued a false story to get publicity for themselves and to try to make themselves relevant, which they're not, people have been fired all over the place from that one, and others are failing, too, as you know, in that world. a lot of them are failing but this one's a particularly bad one. a lot of money was spent on it and it's been a disaster. and he knew that and he said to him, you know, you're doing the wrong thing. you do this, you're doing the wrong thing. so what happened i
