it was true of jimmy swigert and true of justi trudeau and probably don lemon.he more sang he gets a pass no matter what he does? i think you know the answer because, of course, have you seen it before earlier this year the governor ralph northam caught wearing black face. clanhood. he still won't tell us what it was. he was wearing black face or a clan hood northham the liberal democrat said he didn't need to resign over it. the left pretended to care for a my minutes, we are so upset and forget the whole thing happened. northam said the whole incident showed deep wounds in virginia. what he did showed deep wounds in the whole commonwealth of virginia. in other words, northam himself wasn't guilty of anything, black face or a clan hood, it was the people of virginia who were responsible. they had the collective guilt. and that guilt could only be by giving ralph northam more power. because that's what it is always about. always. it's about power. when you make a mistake, it means you are a sinner, and you must be damned. you probably don't have enough diversity

i'm don lemon. here's our breaking news. at least five people confirmed dead as hurricane dorian a massive category 4 storm it was a 5. it slammed the bahamas and threatens the u.s. with a deadly fury. prime minister speaking tonight calling this storm a historic tragedy. and saying this. >> the devastation. is unprecedented and extensive. they are deeply worrying. the images and videos we are seeing are heartbreaking. >> they are. dorian pounds the bahamas. people are stranded across the islands. that as millions of people across three states in our southeast are under mandatory evacuation orders rite now with watches and warnings from florida to south carolina. the hurricane center warning of what could be life threatening storm surge. dangerous hurricane force winds. it's not clear if where dorian might make land fall in the united states. even if the center of the storm doesn't hit land, it threatens to be extremely destructive. as we have been saying all along. this is a dangerously unpredictable storm. and if you're an

i'm don lemon. here's our breaking news. of course we're talking about hurricane dorian battering the carolinas right now. and expected to remain a powerful -- very powerful hurricane with the potential for dangerous storm surges, life-threatening flash floods, okay? this is not over yet. a rough night ahead, especially for north carolina. we're going to go there live for you in just minutes. we've got a whole lot to cover for you and you don't want to miss any of it. we are learning tonight that at least 30 people have lost their lives in the bahamas. officials say they fear that toll will soar. and as dorian continues on his path of druestruction, just loo the the havoc in the carolinas earlier today. look at that. there's a jeep. it's trapped in the waves this afternoon in myrtle beach. the driver reportedly tried to make it along the beach and then got stuck. >> to rush up there -- >> live wires sparking -- there it is. in the flooded streets of charleston. that after fierce winds and tornadoes smashed communities along

i'm don lemon. we have five big headlines in the hour ahead.rce telling cnn president trump pressured ukraine president in a phone call back in july to investigate joe biden's son. we have all the details for you. also tonight the united states sending additional troops to saudi arabia following the attack on the oil field. and in the 2020 race, the count down is onto the iowa caucus. democratic candidates attend a steak fry. as the attacks ramp up against the front runners. also ahead the patriots fired receiver antonio brown amid rape allegations. a young african american terrorized by white supremacists. she took them on and won. >> the fact i'm able to still speak out against it, is the part that drives them crazy. that's the part i love the most because that gives me strength. every time we stop and think about how much white supremacists

tonight -- ed helms, from cnn, don lemon, and music from weezer.♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming and for joining us on another beautiful day in sunny los angeles, california. you know, i have to say, of all the interesting things i've been hash tag blessed to cover when it comes to our president, i never thought the weather would be one of them. i really didn't. but once again, our commander

i'm don lemon. what a week. what a week. a week of a monster storm, threatening the southeast coast. after spreading death and destruction in the bahamas. in a storm of a different kind in the white house. we have been discussing here the president who even by the standards of this administration seems to be out of control. out of touch with reality. none of this is normal. none of it. i want you to listen. this is what former white house communicati communication director said today. >> i think the president is in severe mental decline. i'm not saying that now because i'm a political adversary or i disvalue him. i'm looking at what's going on. objectively. >> that is a former member of the trump administration saying that. is he right? all right. let's have a look at the evidence. president refusing to back down ot false claims on sunday that alabama was in the path of hurricane dorian. today, on day six of all of this. he's tweeting out a ten day old forecast. ten days. a ten day old forecast from this show. from wednesday

while some in the mainstream media don lemon actually a nice guy gave trudeau a pass.nstead, he used this story to attack, you guessed it, president trump. >> wow. a leader apologizing seems odd, doesn't it? we have one who doesn't. think about it however you want to think about it. when someone apologizes, wow! we don't often see that here, especially a world leader who is saying, i should've known better and i'm sorry. you can talk about it however you want, to me that does mean a lot. >> sean: the question is will don lemon give passes and still blame trump? got to figure out that one. still major news about democratic mega donor at buck. a story on conspiracy theory nbc news, they didn't think it was worth or covering. imagine if he was a huge republican donor, do you think they'd be covering that? here, fox news contributor dan bongino. i do not know how you turn this into a story about trump but you've got to give fake news cnn credit for their creativity, geraldo. with that said, the double standard is real. >> please! >> sean: you think? what that apology be ac

can feel about it however you want, but to me, that does mean a lot. >> sean: the question is will don lemon give him three passes and still blame trump? got to figure out that one. still major news about democratic mega donor ed buck. a story on conspiracy theory tv, nbc news, they didn't think it was worth covering. imagine if he was a huge republican donor, do you think they'd be covering that? here, fox news contributor dan bongino.geraldo rivera. i do not know how you turn this into a story about trump but you've got to give fake news cnn credit forru their creativity geraldo. bu9t, with that said, the double standard is real.if trump did is sorry -- >> please! you think? >> would that apology be acceptable if he said he is sorry? >> i do like trudeau. ed buck is a donor who was given anig absolute green light to bea sexual predatorpr to gay black men. he should've been arrested in 2017 when the first one overdosed and died. now a second one overdosed and died and still the democratic district attorney in los angeles, jackie lacie, did not go after ed buck. why? those are questions that

i'm don lemon. and the president who just last night tweeted out what sounds like an ominous warning about being locked and loaded -- that was a quote -- locked and loaded, just waiting to hear from saudi arabia about who they believe was behind saturday's drone attacks on saudi oil fields. well, he sounded pretty different today. watch this. >> can we clarify, mr. president? so you said you think iran is responsible for the attack. do you think -- >> i didn't say that. why do you say that? i said we think we know who it was, but i didn't say anybody. but certainly it would look most like it was iran, but i did not say it the way you said. you're going to find out in great detail in the very near future. we have the exact locations of just about everything. you're going to find out at the right time, but it's too early to tell you that now. >> too early to tell you that now? sure changed his tune there. then there's what the president said about the idea of meeting with iran without pre-conditions.

i'm don lemon. you could call this a tale of two events. democrats taking the debate stage in houston last night while the president, true to form, unable to give up the spotlight. the president was serving up a heaping plate of red meat to house republicans at an event in baltimore. and the contrast between those two events really, really stunning. democrats having a substantive debate about one of the most important issues in the country today, health care and how to pay for it. >> i think the obamacare worked. i think the way we add to it, replace everything that's been cut, add a public option, guarantee that everyone will be able to have affordable assurance, number one. number two, i think we should be in a position of taking a look at what costs are. >> the answer is on medicare for all, costs are going to go up for wealthier individuals and costs are going to go up for giant corporations. but for hard working families across this country, costs are going to go down and that's how it should work, under medicare for all in our health

i'm don lemon. and i got to tell you that cnn has learned that the president is considering -- this is important news. he's considering naming mike pompeo to replace his ousted national security adviser, former national security adviser john bolton. so pompeo, who is bolton's chief rival by the way -- or was -- would simultaneously hold two full-time jobs, the secretary of state and the national security adviser at the same time, simultaneously. that's what that means obviously. that as tensions with north korea and iran are heating up. the trade war with china is still going on, and the president is discussing a drawdown of forces in afghanistan. and, oh, yeah, russia. the president could really use a full-time national security adviser right now. think about everything that is going on in the country and in the world. but i have to call your attention to something else. i want to call your attention to this. there was also some actual governing going on today, really. the administration moving to

i'm don lemon. here's our breaking news tonight, we have some new revelations about the president's communication with a foreign leader. the communication that prompted a whistle-blower complaint and a showdown with congress. here's what "the washington post" is reporting tonight that the whistle-blower's complaint involves ukraine. we know that the president spoke with ukraine's leader on july 25th, 2 1/2 weeks before the complaint was filed. a call already being investigated by house democrats who want to know whether the president and rudy giuliani pressured ukraine into pursuing politically motivated investigations to help the president's re-election effort. rudy giuliani, who frankly, let's just be honest, he sounded unhinged. bobbing, weaving, insulting, going on tangents, trying to distract with wild and free -- evidence-free claims about joe biden and saying this to chris tonight. >> will you finally answer my question now that we're 12 minutes in? >> do we really believe he didn't know his

i'm don lemon. yes, there's a lot of news. this is a momentous day to say the least. an official impeachment inquiry of president trump has been opened. >> this week the president has admitted to asking the president of ukraine to take actions which would benefit him politically. the actions of the trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the president's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections. therefore today, i'm announcing the house of representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. i'm directing our six committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry. the president must be held accountable. no one is above the law. >> so much has happened in the last few hours, setting us on a path that one way or another could change this country's history. hear me out here. here's where we are right now. the house speaker nancy pelosi announcing that official impeachment inquiry in the face of outrageous over the president reporte

i think it's important to differentiate don lemon or chris matthews, who are very open about this and are opinion hosts , they are liberal hosts. on the trump administration there is also a revolving door with conservative media like fox news. maybe this is an issue that's all encompassing, and may be the news media needs to work out whether it's conservative or liberal media. the media obviously has to be careful with how they pursue stories going forward. but as i said, being a campaign reporter in 2020, and this is my perspective, we get a lot of backlash from the democratic side as well. so i think this is an all-encompassing issue. there is a revolving door not only in democratic administration but also republican administrations. host: let's turn to the gun debate. i want to share a clip from beto o'rourke. [video clip] >> the people of el paso the one to gain the voice to say hell yes, we're going to buy back every ar-15 and ak-47 and get those off the streets and out of our homes so no one has to be her that again. -- to fear that again. [cheering] >> and people ask us, they w

i'm don lemon. thank you so much for joining us. and you may have thought that this president's twitter meltdowns, his anger, his demands for loyalty no matter what, you know, loyalty no matter what to him, that it couldn't get any worse, right? i want you to think about this. over the last few days, he has really hit a new low. everything now is about this president's ego. everything. listen to what he says about his decision to invite taliban leaders to camp david for talks just days before the 18th anniversary of 9/11, and his decision to abruptly cancel that meeting. here it is. >> we had a meeting scheduled. it was my idea, and it was my idea to terminate it. i didn't -- i didn't discuss it with anybody else. >> okay. so here's the thing. no one knew about that meeting in the first place, and it's undeniably not a good look to invite the taliban here as the nation is about to observe the anniversary of 9/11. the president could have canceled it without anybody being the wiser, especially since sources tell cnn there was intense

and don lemon, i think was a friend of megyn kelly's too.bus in saying we are the same age and she should know in her 47 years by now. and the fact that exactly what you just said the fact that she was run out of msnbc, that their president andy lack said this is beneath our standards they were using it because they wanted to get rid of her. that was a year ago and they should still be ashamed of what they did to her in that situation because it was completely unfair. she was simply making an observation. she never wore blackface and she shouldn't have apologized any way for making an observation. give me a break, tucker. >> tucker: there are some really cruel people on the left. i think that's the take away. joe concha, great to see you tonight, thank you so much. >> have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: after months of hype today was the date of the big raid on area 51 in nevada or supposed to be. millions of people had rsvp'd to storm the area this morning. in the end only 100 showed up. nobody stormed the place. only one arrest for public

i'm don lemon. i have a couple questions for you. the first one is -- and the main one -- who are you going to believe? that is really the question tonight. that's really the main question tonight and over the last couple years because here's what you -- you cannot believe both the president, the president who claims his conversations with foreign leaders are always appropriate, and the source telling cnn that this president pressured ukraine's leader to investigate joe biden's son in a call on july 25 the. that's part of a whistle-blower's complaint 2 1/2 weeks later that the white house and the doj are trying to bury. you can't believe both at the same time, okay? which one are you -- who are you going to believe? your own eyes and ears? the president? whistle-blower? "the wall street journal" is reporting the president pressured ukraine's leader about eight times, eight times in that single call, eight times. the journal also reporting that trump told the ukrainian president that he should work with rudy giuliani to investigate bi

i'm don lemon. we've got a lot to get to tonight. things are moving really, really fast tonight. a dramatic night that is rocking the trump presidency. breaking news here. the mystery whistle-blower at the center of the democrats' impeachment inquiry reportedly raised questions about how the white house handled records of the president's conversation with ukraine. that is according to "the new york times." "the new york times" is also reporting that the i.g. for the intelligence community interviewed multiple white house officials as witnesses and concluded there was reason to believe the complaint was substantiated. so the i.g. -- the i.g. is a trump appointee -- interviewed multiple officials in the trump white house, concluded there was reason to believe the whistle-blower's complaint was substantiated. a trump appointee. and cnn has learned that the whistle-blower has tentatively agreed to meet with congress on some future date. there's a condition, though, that the acting dni, joseph maguire, approve security clearances for the individual's legal counsel. all this is happeni

i'm don lemon. here's our breaking news. the votes are being counted right now. i'm talking about this north carolina special congressional election that could have huge implications across this country. we're going to tell you why. this is why. because what happens in the state tonight, it could be a precursor -- it could tell us a lot about what might happen in the 2020 race. the republican's name is dan bishop. and then the democrat, another dan, dan mccready, locked in a tight race. it's in a district that president trump won handily in 2016. but it's close now between the democrat and the republican. a district that has been solidly republican since -- get this -- 1963. straight to it now. cnn's john king at the magic wall with the very latest. even though the president is not on the ballot, make no mistake. this is a large part of the referendum on his presidency. votes still being counted, but this is a race that should be an easy win for the gop. it shouldn't even be close, but it is tonight

i'm don lemon. we've got a lot to get to tonight. things are moving really, really fast tonight. a dramatic night that is rocking the trump presidency. breaking news here. the mystery whistle-blower at the center of the democrats' impeachment inquiry reportedly raised questions about how the white house handled records of the president's conversation with ukraine. that is according to "the new york times."

. >> listen, don lemon was on at 10:00 o'clock. >> the guy on the other network, he's trying to spin it as a big win for democrats and i tell you, he was not on the ground in north carolina, i was. you could feel the energy. >> how did he spin it as a wing? >> because murphy one by 27 points and bishop one by two, down 17 before the president got engaged and before you who were instrumental in engaging the president in the race. >> i think they're saying the president wanted by 12 points when he ran into thousand 16 and he did, the president was not on the ballot. this was a special election and i tell you, the president is not always good going to win north carolina hell when it by a big margin because the made promises and captain. >> talking with ronald mcdaniel in the last week. the chair of the republican national committee, she is obviously trying to remove republican party to follow the leader, president trump. she obviously states unequivocally that this president is central and absolutely required for the republicans to stay strong in the house and if not retake it and keep

mark:he do you think don lemon read this? do you think andrea mitchell read this?> that was from the proceedings of the national academy of science, one of the top journals in the world. that paper you are holding in your hand has been downloaded from their website 200,000 times and it was ranked in the top 1% of all scientific papers in all fields. but, no, i don't think many people have read it. mark: why do you think the media won't read it? >> i think there is a message here they don't want to hear. at the moment the tech companies are supporting people who lean left, supporting democrats, which s i like those, i like democrats. you don't know who they are going to support next year. we should put democracy, our nation, the fee and fair elections ahead of any party or candidate. that's my message. that's why we are speaking out. mark: the title of the report is the search engine manipulation effect on its possible impact on the outcome of elections. you can download this if you want to check it out. we are going to monitor this, too. w it's very, very important

hear what don lemon has to say. they are wrong about everything.reg: you mentioned a company for two years putting out a faulty product. >> everything about the election they got wrong and then they just transition and everything about russia wrong and along the way they'd be like jussie smollett. >> how can you have a meltdown because it's bad and when he gets out he also has a meltdown about that. they just like meltdowns but i really like john bolton. every juror -- interaction i've had with him as an positive, nice guy funny guy. i couldn't be happier that he's no longer in a position of power because we have the cycle where we use more to solve problems and that creates more problems than that creates more war and it just keeps going and going and it's hard to get out of. one of the things i like about the president as he seems to understand that it seems to be trying to change that. i'm happy to see that. greg: it's interesting how the media are like upset that the president personality is more peaceful. they almost want the reverse. they wan

i'm don lemon. we begin this hour with breaking news on the hard fought special election in north carolina ninth district. the republican dan bishop nar lowly winning a district that trump took handedly in 2016. so red it's solidly republican since 1963. it shouldn't have everyone been close. it was. the president taking credit tonight for his victory. in the middle of the win, are there warning signs for the gop? john king at the magic wall. good evening to you. how narrow was the win. >> very narrow. two things can be true. republicans won the seat. that's a relief for them. in a district they should have won easily. there are warning signs. bishop 99% of the vote in. winning with 4,100. a two point race. 51 to 49. in a district president trump carried by 12 points. two points now. 56 years this seat has been in republican hands. the president will claim credit in part because the election rally was in this part of the district here. and bishop didn't win the county by a lot. you can see it there.
