anyone like, don lemon? nancy pelosi? chuck schumer?hey have all denied previously that it was a crisis. >> tucker: so, they are betting, i guess, that nobody else in america can remember what the world was like three months ago, or what they said three months ago? speak out right. part of it is you now have this debate in congress and house republicans bear some responsibility. remember, they ran the house the first two years of donald trump's administration. they didn't follow through on the wall, they didn't follow through on a lot of pieces. they did some of it, but there is a lot they didn't follow up on. so you have that issue on the table. now, byron york was pointing this out today. you have democrats and republicans in congress fighting about few billion dollars to the with the border crisis. everyone should admit it is a crisis as the president first declared it. if they are fighting over a few billion dollars for the crisis and yet we have thousands of people crossing illegally every day, and while they fight, there is nothin

trish: the contrast with don lemon, only one hand he was saying there is no crisis.there is absolutely a crisis. i'm just curious as to why there is a change. and i'm speculating on something deroy. is there any chance the democrats realized it's not great form to look like they are being so little because of politics they are willing to begrudge people at the border things they need. kid that need beds in detention centers. >> this isn't just a few people coming across the border. we are on track for 2 million people. this is the size much an american city. these are just the people we catch. more are getting by without being apprehended. the democrats are saying these are concentration camps. provide diapers and baby formula and it's hard to say you can't have that. i was amazed by the factory? california where the workers went on strike because they weren't happy about the company sending mattresses down to the detention centers. trish: another immigration headline i want to get to. i heard you madison talk about aoc. she spaces backlash for some d she faces backl

panel, let's begin with cnn's don lemon claiming his show and network are not liberal. let me give you a quick reminder of some of the things he said recently. >> donald trump has just been conning us all along, people. own it. i do believe this president is a racist and i don't say that lightly. he is clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country. >> pete: just playing it straight. >> they're not liberal at all. they take every leftist position on every issue that's out there. a lot of people at cnn aren't honest with themselves. they think of them as middle of the road network that has no agenda whatsoever. night after night it's not true. >> pete: what does he tell himself to justify that? >> well, i would like to think it's a simple lack of self-consciousness that he places himself squairl at the center of the political spectrum and only measures politics as it moves to the left and right of where he is sitting. but that kind of innocence i think is hard to justify when we live in a divided country. it is very obvious there is a wide political spectrum and ve

i'm don lemon. we have breaking news because president trump and joe biden are in duelling speeches in iowa tonight, the president returning to one of his favorite talking points about democrats. >> the democrat party has never been angrier. they're so angry. did you ever see a people so angry? for what? for what? these are angry people. every day the democrat party is becoming more and more unhinged and more and more extreme. they are going crazy. do you love it? i sort of love it. >> it should be democratic party, but that's another story. >>> biden leaned into the criticism of the president. >> i have complete power. no, you don't, donald trump. quotes from donald trump, i have absolute power. no, you don't, donald trump. or only i can fix it. fix yourself first, donald trump. >> so it is interesting that the president never once mentioned biden tonight, but he sure did earlier, and that's probably no surprise because the new quinnipiac poll has biden with a 13 point lead over trump in a head-to-

"cnn tonight" with don lemon starts now. >> you said it, brother. even the conversations we have here. people take it out of context. some of the guys in studio said you didn't get a chance to say really say everything you wanted to say because you were trying to rush, but i think we just need to give people a little bit more leeway in conversations because that's the way you discuss things, and you and i know that. actually, when we go and talk to people, even in person, we say this is a -- the difficult conversations that you have. not everything is perfect. we're not perfect, but don't cast gate peop ca castigate people for saying the wrong word. lately people are way too out there and crazy. and divided. >> look at themselves. they need to the expression be the change that they want to see. we're mean, man. people are mean. one of the things i love most about our friendship. we're friends anyway. if it didn't work on tv, we'd still be friends off it. sure, we don't agree about things and we don't get angry. like they expected. how are you disagr

an illuminating conversation between chris cuomo and don lemon about the network's decision to cut away from trump's 2020 re-election launch last night. >> think of the despicable people we've had in history. i'm going to use an extreme example. think of hitler. if you can look back on history, would you say, wow, i'm so glad that person was allowed a platform so they could spread their hate and propaganda and lies. would you say it wasn't the right thing to do to spread that because you knew in the moment that was a bad person and they were doing bad thing, not only were they hurting people, they were killing people. it starts with little lies that become bigger lies. >> shocker. his ratings are not stratospheric. it's infuriating, but it's also sad. these people can't be this dumb. the only thing i can think of it's really pernicious, really depressing. within 24 hours as the president announced the 2020 relaunch, democrats and the allies are hurtling attacks against this administration that conjure up some of the most horrible atrocities ever committed against human kind. so, for the

don lemon is claiming his network is fair to both sides of the aisle.ing shows it's far from fair to president trump. preserving your heritage and reclaiming your heritage. that sounds like a certain leader that kills members of my family and 6 million other views. >> president trump has been connecticuting us. connecticut -- has been conning us. i don't say that lightly. he's clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country. david: why is cnn trying to prove the impossible. >> they either are lying to themselves or lying to everybody else or both. i go for lying to everybody else. they know what they are doing. they tried to discredit trump when he was running. they go after him and try to push the 26th men solution to getting out of the presidency. they hyped michael avenatti like he was the second coming. and to the point where they are promoting him to run for president. david: we have the videotape. it's obvious what they are saying is not true now when they are claiming they are fair and balanced. >> the thing is, in their difficult meanted bl
