that's what don lemon said.efore you get too outraged about that and stop watching his show every night, keep in mind that don lemon is a cable news host. he's on television five hours a week live. he's bound to say somethingg indefensible once in a while, they all do. we can actually vouch for that, having done it ourselves, unfortunately. here are the rules. when you say something awful that you can't defend, don't try to defend it. apologize and explain what you meant and move on. vow to do better. that's a rule for life, not just television news. we all learned it as kids. on the left, though, it no longer applies. here's what don lemon said last night about his remarks onef monday. >> i said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white man. that angered some people. their analysis shows for every eight deadly attacks by right wing extremists, there were one by left-wing extremists. those are the facts. so people who were angered about what i said are m

well don lemon's comments come of her three recent hate crimes involving white suspects last saturday eleven jewish worshipers were muss occurred on a synagogue in pittsburgh in the same week two black people were killed in a shooting at a supermarket in kentucky and fifteen mail bombs were sent to high profile opponents of the u.s. president we heard contrasting views from inside the u.s. from journalist who neo river political activist and thing rogers right. i think that mr levin was actually stating facts there are twice as many terrorist incidents from white right wing terrorist in those people who submit to al islam what they're saying right now is saying that the majority of the country are terrorists i'm pretty sure that if white men were the real problem in america we'd have a higher incident a higher rate of incidents with these types of terror attacks radicalized white people who are sending pipe bombs to people of the opposing party who just killed eleven jewish people who just killed two black people in kentucky because they couldn't get into a black church look at the re

i'm don lemon. thank you for joining us. this has been a huge day in the mueller investigation. block buster news, the president's former fixer and keeper of secrets apparently not keeping those secrets any more. eye talking about michael cohen. he's saying he was lying to protect the president when he told congress that negotiations to put a trump tower in moscow ended before the what with caucuses. cohen as part of his surprise guilty plea today to a charge by robert mueller now says the negotiations continued well into the presidential campaign until june of 2016. he also says he discussed the

don lemon has doubled down. cnn had no commented what you make of him saying the main problem is not just white men but why conservative men? >> first of all, i think he's desperate for attention. i take this as somebody's whose ratings, this is a ratings plo , to me. as a failing anchor and failing network. someone who just wants to say the most outlandish thing he can to try to gain attention to himself. this is nothing more than about himself. >>howard: i don't think he was trying to point the finger at all white men but i found it jarring just like when people say the problem in this country is black people. >> i'm a cnn watcher.over the last couple weeks, they've been very shaken about the pipe bombs they received. don in particular. i think they look at that, first of all, that was a white male who was a trump supporter. the looking at a white male who shot up a synagogue.and overall, it tends to be white males. i have a hard time agreeing with him on that concept. >>howard: this is from karen - - he is th

painted are they are happy and are being painted as down from what is really not true people like don lemon are going to continue to perpetuate these false narratives in the hopes that maybe it can just prop people from what's actually going on in america which is a great thing right now economically number of people across all demographics including white latino and blacks in particular where black unemployment is a historic low bonds that were just sent did not kill anyone but they were still acts of terrorism and you can't deny that the person who was caught by the enemy ike was a donald trump supporter as a download from supporters and if we are being honest really but he is a registered they're going to go there is there is still there is information he isn't he doesn't matter he's gonna try to secure whatever crap you've got on me if we didn't read his misallocations up a bunch of different ways you could sit there in julian sam and state that he specifically and donald trump supporter he was inspired to do that by donald trump we have to be honest about post reconstruction white terr

he said it to don lemon and then magically president trump has decided to put him as acting attorney general. so this idea that sources -- and i'm sure pamela's sources are believing what they're saying, that that's not the plan as of right now to limit and curtail the mueller investigation, i'm sure it isn't their plan as of right now, but who knows what president trump will do in 15 minutes. >> no doubt about it. laura used the word witty. >> i tried. it may have been a gift. >> i want to highlight a piece of mitch mcconnell's statement, former colleague, dedicated public servant ends with this line, "i wish him well and look forward to working with him in any future endeavors." doug jones, the democrat from alabama in the jeff sessions seat is up for reelection in 2020. and wouldn't it be the sweetest revenge for jeff sessions to actually run for the senate again, assuming that alabama basis like alabama basis politically, gets elected back to the united states senate and becomes a thorn in this president's side. >> would he get a mega rally? >> it just is a really interesting lin

>> tucker: we have to start doing something about them, don lemon says.p in mind that he is talking about an entire racial group currently living in this country. what exactly does don lemon have in mind for, quote, deportation? internment camps? more affirmative action? it would be good to know. some of us would like to tell our sons what's coming. we contacted cnn today to ask them what they quote plan to start doing to this racially group of racially defective americans, they never applied. maybe lemon will be more specific about his plans on tonight's show. without even hearing the details, it's pretty clear where the people on tv stand. they instinctively side with foreign nationals over american citizens is every time. if you are wondering why they are far more upset about migrant camps in mexico than homeless encampments in orange county. that's why. yesterday in the "new york times" a columnist told michelle goldberg noted if the elections in georgia if the bad old people don't agree with her agenda are displaced by a large group of new people who

i have a message for don lemon, fake news jake tapper and the rest of cnn. they have literally become nothing but a propaganda arm of the democratic party all while masquerading as nonpartisan journalists. also tonight an important update from the border as we await the caravan of illegal immigrants demanding entry into our country. sit back, buckle up. six nights to go. time for jampacked opening monologue ♪ >> sean: on this halloween night, we are facing, well, a terrifying prospect. as the new speaker of the house. chairwoman maxine waters, the lier and chief himself adam schiff, chairman nadler in six days if you don't want that might mayor to become a reality you have to get up and get out and vote and vote in huge numbers. every race matters. nancy pelosi's bags are packed. she is ready to move into a brand new office. the speaker's office. in fact, she has now declared victory. forget about voting according to her. it's all in the bag. watch this. >> we will win. [laughter] [cheers] >> we will say that. >> we will win. >> please don't say that do you

two nights ago, don lemon hosts a show on their prime time network.ctually telling his audience that the biggest terror threat in america is white men. and according to cnn, the facts first network, white men, especially those that are conservative on the right are scary, evil creatures. take a look. >> we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. and we have to start doing something about them. there is no travel ban on them. there is no ban on, you know, they had the muslim ban.n. there is no white guy ban. so what do we do about that? >> sean: stop demonizing them but then let's demonize them. forget about isis or alal qaeda. forget about the left wing nut job who shot up aa baseball field full ofdi republican politicians last year. or people sending ricin to mattis and president trump and wray and gina haspel or the trump family or the steady stream of terroristic threats that we see regularly against members of the trump administration or people being

he had this exchange with don lemon about the whole mueller obstruction probe.n to this. >> matt, what do you think of that? why isn't this obstruction? >> well, first of all, several of the acts are constitutionally permitted. you know, his conversation with jim comey about the mike flynn investigation together with firing of director comey, those are both well within his power as executive. >> given all the public statements that he's made critical of the whole mueller probe, saying maybe they should starve the budget, end it once and for all, should he recuse himself? he's the acting attorney general now, and he's overseeing this whole mueller probe. >> well, certainly, people will make that point, and there are people within the justice department who may render a judgment on that, but i guarantee you that he wasn't put in this job to recuse himself. that's what got sessions in trouble in the first place. in fact, i would consider that appearance on don lemon as matt whitaker's audition tape for this job, and you know, the president tends to hire off of who

afterwards the president tweeted that cnn's don lemon, who had interviewed mr. james for the segment, don lemon had, quote, made lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do. the president said don lemon is himself, quote, the dumbest man on television. according to the president, who spends his time saying stuff like this, the nimble, intelligent, immensely capable don lemon at cnn, he is, quote, dumb. lebron james almost inarguably the greatest basketball player of all time is just not smart. everybody knows it, and the president is happy to say it. the president has also frequently targeted his ire, one of his favorite tax, for example, at his rallies is a specific member of congress who he always, always, always brands as, quote, low iq or extraordinarily low iq. congressman maxine waters of california. well, now four days out from the election, and two of the most hotly contested governor's races in the country in georgia and in florida, the president is hurling his very specifically targeted brand of insult at the democratic candidates in those two races. in

, i always liked don lemon. i feel like people go on these other networks, we disagreed on stuff but it was always a good conversation. to hear him say that the biggest threat to the country are white men the night before last and cnn comes out today and says we have no comment, were not going to have any comment about that. what if he had said something about black men in any way, shape, or form, what's going on out there? >> i don't take matters or threats to my american way of life. i know he does agree with me. if you listen to the whole quote, he was doing a comparative. i'm not making any excuses for him, i would never use the language, he was comparing what democrats believe to be this hype about this honduran caravan, compared to real threats in america. what he should have said is we know the right wing extremists commit heinous crimes. there have been about 115 in this country and when they do the majority of those 115 have been right wing extremists including last week. >> laura: at fort hood? that wa

threats against don lemon.emon and tucker carlson couldn't be more opposite on issues but now they have something in common. common indecency of people threatening you because you are on television making a statemen statement. i get this. i don't like death threats, and i've seen them from both sides. i don't like it. i don't like being trolled. i don't like being attacked, my books, my writing, i can't stand it. but i think this is where we've gone as a country and this moment with tucker is a moment that we need to seriously absorb and know that this is the time to stop, especially before we get into the 2020 cycle. >> jesse: well, hillary said the resistance would stop being so uncivil once they won the house. i guess these people never got that memo. there's two things going on here. the state of activism in america today. there is no huge civil rights struggle. there is no draft. there is nothing that threatening going on in american society. the economy is humming. the people who have the resistance in th

cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. /s >> i have been told the lord helps those who help themselves, and the last couple times we've had these shootings and i skays thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, why do we do thoughts and prayers is this >> anything is what you do. >> but like you said, we can't even have a conversation because people say, what are you, anti-religion? anti-god? that's the dumbest argument. that's not what we're saying. before you get to the thoughts and prayers before you have to pray for the people who sadly lost their loved ones or suffering from this or injured or what have you, maybe you should be doing something to prevent it instead of, oh, our thoughts and prayers. >> tlhere's plenty to do. you can't look away from the weapon. who gets access to weapons and how matters. i'm a gun owner, it matters. most responsible gun owners want better access rules for weapons, all right. it's not about us. you got mental health. you've got the culture of violence in this society. this is part of t

i'm don lemon. we have breaking news on the mueller investigation to tell you about. the breaking news is on paul manafort. paul manafort has breached his plea deal. mueller says the former trump campaign chairman lied repeatedly to both mueller and the fbi after pleading guilty to conspiracy and witness tampering. this was back in september when he pleaded guilty to that. so what does all this mean to the investigation? much more on that to come in a moment. we've got a lot to talk about here. it's very interesting. all of this is happening as president trump day after day waging a war on reality. let's be honest. let's talk about his relationship with reality. confronted with facts that don't fit his view of the world, his strategy is this. it's simple. deny, deny, deny. okay. let's just start with today. falsely claiming that migrant children were not tear-gassed at the border this weekend. >> we didn't. >> facts really matter, right? and the fact is children were tear-gassed. you can see that for yourself in this picture. there it is. this is a president who not o

i'm don lemon. if you think the midterms are over, i want you to think again because we've got breaking news tonight on some key undecided races. you want to stay tuned for this. it's in arizona. the democrat kyrsten sinema has pulled slightly ahead of republican martha mcsally in the race for the u.s. senate seat. that's the one that's vacated by jeff flake. sinema has a lead of 9,000 votes with thousands more still to be counted in that race. and let's take you to florida now, where both the senate and the governor's races could be headed for a recount. governor rick scott has announced lawsuits alleging there could be what he calls rampant fraud in palm beach county and broward county. that's pretty stunning because governor scott is the republican senate candidate. he's calling for an investigation of his own race against incumbent democrat bill nelson. interesting there. we've got much more to come on all of this. you really want to stay tuned for that. it's getting interesting there. and i wan

. >> laura: lemon -- i always liked don lemon. but he was like reasonable. it was a good conversation but to hear him say the biggest threat to the country are white men and then cnn comes out and says we have no comment. we're not going to have any comment.av if somebody said something about black men in any way shape or form -- what is going on out there? >> i don't know if don lemon agrees -- >> i know he does agree with me. ife. you listen to the whole quote. i would never use the quote. but he was comparing what democrats believe to be this hype about this honduran caravan and what he should have said is that we know that white wing extremist commit heinous crimes. and when they do the majority of the 115 have been with right wing e extremist. >> laura: and fort hood. >> the 11c 115 were committed by white extremist. and so what don was doing and i'm not making an excuse is that don was making an excuse. >> laura: our point is that race seems to be the obsession of the left. i think what trump is saying is that it's border matters. i want to get back on

what i took is don lemon, don lemon. i respect don lemon. i took don lemon's greatest hits when he looks into the camera it's not donald trump's a racist, you're a zen phone, you're a racist, the backers of donald trump. and i cut it with the footage of antifa beating these people up. somebody said where'd you get this footage? it's almost x-rated. it's shot by the cable networks, it's just never played. it's always trump's supporters that are the race racists. it's always trump supporters that are the cause of all this. they never talk about antifa or the intimidation. look what happened to ted cruz, mitch mcconnell. do not sit here and tell me that the left and the democratic party or and the instigators like hillary clinton and holder, holder said when they go low, kick 'em. that's never mentioned. [laughter] the violence, the violence that's brought up by the democratic left is far worse than is brought up by our movement. >> a few minutes ago this evening steve bannon said when you're assessing president trump, you have to distinguish t

don lemon is the dumbest mind on television. "dumb," lebron james, the greatest basketball player of all time is just not smart and everybody knows it and the president is happy to say it. the president has also frequently targeted his rallies, a specific member of congress who he always, always brands as quote, "low iq or extraordinarily low iq." congressman, maxine waters, of california. four days out of the election, two of the mostly hot contested governor in georgia and florida. the president is hurling his specific targeted brand of insults. at the democratic candidates in those two races ochlt . in florida, trump showing no evidence calls andrew gillum a thief and in georgia, trump offering no evidence calls stacey abrams unqualified. he said that about her yesterday, he actually said that at the white house. how is she unqualified? >> yale-trained attorney and successful in business and public life and leader -- you line them all up and the in suggests and the insultees. the way the president likes to insult people in po

what i took his on women, don lemon, i respect don lemon was i took don lemon's greatest hits when he looks at the camera and says it is not donald trump's race but your race. the backers of donald trump. covered with the footage of anti-fa beating people up who wear red ball, this is shot by cable networks. it is always trump's supporters, that were the cause of all this. they never talk about the intimidation. look what happened to ted cruz, mitch mcconnell, do not sit here and tell me that the left in the democratic party and instigators like hillary clinton and holder, when they go low, kick them. that is never mentioned. the violence, the violence that is brought up by the democratic left is far worse. >> a few minutes ago steve bannon said that distinguished signals from the noise, the things he does from the things he says. when a president says is what a president does. obviously donald trump is in no way accountable for that terrible crime obviously. what he is accountable for his what he didn't do decently afterwards. [applause] >> that could not find words, cannot find some

i'm don lemon. thanks for joining us, everyone. this has been a really huge day in the mueller investigation. our blockbuster news, the peptide's former fixer and keeper of secrets apparently not keeping those secrets anymore. i'm talking about michael cohen. he's saying that he was lying to protect the president when he told congress that negotiations to put a trump tower in moscow ended before the iowa caucuses. cohen, as part of his surprise guilty plea today to a charge from robert mueller, now says those negotiations continued well into the presidential campaign until june of 2016. he also says he discussed the project with donald trump himself on more than three occasions and briefed trump family members working with the trump organization. that means then candidate trump was trying to do business with russia in the middle of a campaign that russia interfered in to help elect him. and get a load of this detail, which sounds like it would be straight out of the trump playbook. one idea for mark

i'm don lemon. there's really no other way to say this. no other way. the president of the united states is having a meltdown. yes, again. and the reason is very clear. robert mueller is getting under his skin. the president using an interview today with his hometown paper, "the new york post," to send a public message to his former campaign chairman, paul manafort. a pardon is not off the table, saying this, and i quote. i wouldn't take it off the table. why would i take it off the table? the president has been dangling a pardon for manafort for a while, but the timing of this tells you a whole lot coming just two days after mueller accused manafort of lying repeatedly to him and to the fbi. and just days after trump's legal team submitted written answers to questions from mueller. cnn has learned that the president told mueller he didn't know about that 2016 trump tower meeting with his son, campaign officials, and russians promising dirt on hillary clinton. he also told mueller in writing that roger stone did not tell him about wikileaks. abc is repo

that was one sentence from don lemon that started with it's important we stop demonizing people. and this is why people should be jailed? it's insane. important when you put yourself in the jon stewart role, we have to be in opposition, you are going to take shortcuts away from the truth. connell: and larger point we in the media take the bait every time. >> to a certain extent the media does feel the need to outdo themselves. it started during the 2016 election, if trump wins, will be the end of the world, armageddon will ensue, that didn't happen. if kavanaugh gets in, they keep doing what they're doing to ratchet up the crazy, bad things happen and america people are starting to see the rhetoric and the results. and trump does play a role in the division, there i think they're both in the wrong. connell: i'm going to wrap so can you go trick-or-treating. enjoy. in a moment, the president saying the economy is red hot but according to stock market will crash and burn if democrats win in the election next week. jonathan i'm ken jacobus and i switched to the spark cash card from

i'm don lemon. a legal setback today for president trump and his administration. a federal judge in washington, a trump appointee ruling in cnn's favor and ordering the white house to reinstate a press pass to cnn's chief white house correspondent jim acosta. cnn sued trump and top aides, claiming violations of freedom of the press and due process, and the judge said the white house couldn't do what they did. the rule of law must apply. but it got us thinking. how often does president trump challenge the constitution and therefore the rule of law? it has been happening all throughout. the headlines are shocking. trump is a one-man assault on the rule of law, and trump's all-out attack on the rule of law among others. so let's look at some notable examples starting with the president's executive order issued a week after he took office, the one that banned entry -- or wanted to ban entry into the u.s. for 90 days of citizens from iraq, syria, iran, libya, somalia, sudan, and yemen, countries that are
