don lemon is making his way through the crowd at music city nashville. we are going to move into the new year central time zone as always. we love being in new orleans. we are in music city this year. i'm not going to waste any time. i have been so excited to talk to these two. jason isabel and amanda shires. we are in your town now. happy new year almost. >> thank you. thank you. >> happy new year to you. >> they played earlier. we're in the middle of this massive party here in nashville. they played. they were kind enough to hang out to just kick off our next special in style. by the way, this woman is 1/4 of the high women. if you do not know what the high women is, get on google right now. keep watching. they were just named one of the favorite songs of former president barack obama which had to feel pretty good. >> it was amazing. >> and so we'll chat on the back end. will you play a little tune? >> yeah. >> what are you going to do? >> "high women." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ my children, i did what i had to do ♪ ♪ we left honduras when they killed the san da knees

you're an idiot, says don lemon, and that other guy with the beard. again, don lemon.is the man and we are not making this up, who once out loud whether a missing airliner might have flown into a black hole. >> if it was hijacking or terrorism or mechanical failure or pilot error. what if it was something we don't really understand. a lot of people have been asking about that, about black holes and on and on and on. they are also referencing the twilight zone, similar plot. that's what people are saying. i know it's preposterous but is it preposterous? >> tucker: don lemon, the man who sincerely believes that the fruit-based cold desert is pronounced sor-bet is calling me stupid. we are joined by mark steyn. as a rube who lives in rural america, how are you responding? >> that's cnn flying the democrats into the black hole. if you want more from, this is how you get more trump. they might as well relabel the panel the trump reelection committee. that's what they are doing. this is actually the bipartisan establishment condescension summed up completely. 63 million peop

will they condemn don lemon and cnn for insulting half of america?ould back-stabbing bolton be the leaker-in-chief? also new evidence joe biden is still losing it. >> why why why why why, you are getting nervous, man. there is new video of joe biden yelling at another iowa voter. coming up, i am asking if that's the best way to win iowa. is socialist bernie, is socialism creeping at our doorstep. >> your agenda promised free healthcare, college tuition and to pay off college loans. the price tag is estimated to be $0 trillion. trish: he doesn't know how much it will cost. but it will cost a lot. why bernie's surge in local and national polls should have every one of us concerned for our livelihoods, our futures and our children's futures. >> americans of all political beliefs are sick and tired of the radical rage-filled left socialists. i never saw anything like what's going on in this country. urance so you only pay for what you need. i love you! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i am not for ignoring the first sig

last night, don lemon offering this explanation. >> ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you.eople. during interview on saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh. in the moment, i found the joke humerus. i didn't catch everything that was said. to make this perfectly clear, i was laughing at the joke. not that any group of people. >> melissa: i don't understand how that would make it better. very sorry, not sorry. he was trying to make it clear that he was laughing at the president as opposed to his supporters. you could hear clearly when he said the boomer rube supporters. >> dagen: the word goulash, nobody's gobbling up that explanation. what did happen, those guys pulled back the curtain on what's really going on. the liberal media elite and many liberals in this country, to quote greg gutfeld, they don't just hate donald trump. they hate you. i have lived this my whole life. let them underestimate you. let them call you a rube and they redneck and a hayseed and a hillbilly and an ignorant nobody but you know what? you will sneak up on them and you

this is dumb behavior by cnn and don lemon and rick wilson. supporters have every right to make a judgment i will not make and don't make. i'm backing michael bloomberg but that doesn't mean the voters are at fault. they are making what they think is the right judgment. we need to bring people together, not divide and polarize and not attack. shannon: there is a conversation about the president being under impeachment and whether he should deliver the state of the union as planned next tuesday. here's john brennan. >> one of the things we worry about is we have a state of the union very shortly while all this is going on. >> and it is strong. >> it is embarrassing but also very destructive to the image of the united states. i question whether it makes sense to do that at this point. >> i didn't know it was unconstitutional to hold the state of the union while an attempted coup is taking place. this is ridiculous. the state of the union is strong because outside the frozen chamber of the senate where they don't have access to information for th

here is what don lemon is saying tonight about that segment. >> just to make this perfectly clear, iing at the joke, not an any group of peop people. >> shannon: somebody's already laughing, you take the first -- >> he was laughing at the joke that was made at the expense of the people. he wasn't laughing -- what is he talking about? the words he didn't say in there is "i'm sorry." this is the reason why donald trump was elected in 2016, there are millions upon millions of americans who didn't feel that the establishment of both of the political parties were listening to them and they sensed that they have contempt for them. we just saw that contempt displayed across the channel on cnn. i'm not a big fan of when donald trump says the media is the enemy of the people come i don't think that's a good way of phrasing it but put yourself in the position of a trump voter who is watching that, to those people not seem like your enemy? do they have a lot of contempt for you and think you are a rube and think you shouldn't be choosing for the next president of the united states is because yo

charles: don lemon unable to control his laughter as his supporters mock. do we find a middle ground with that visible hostility. we have "daily caller" stephanie hamel. stephanie, i do appreciate they have gone beyond the farce of not hating president trump voters. they wear it on their sleeve and make it known to the world. >> took them less than two minutes to let them know what they really think about trump supporters. this segment reveals exactly about what they think about those who disagree with the president, those who disagree with them and vote for the president. it is really stunning and disgusting. cnn didn't even issue an apology or any sort of clarification today. i was looking on twitter. we saw the panelists doubling down. they're proud of what they said. waj ali was looking for sympathy now from twitter followers saying that people are sending him mean emails. it is just so terrible but this is exactly what already knew. cnn host don lemon pretends to be unbiased journalist with integrity and no agenda. his reactions and actions show otherw

don lemon vowing to fight and be tougher in 2020. listen. >> do you have resolutions or no?ing to lean in harder. >> what does that mean? >> i'm going to lean in harder. i'm sick of the craziness. you thought i was -- i went hard in 2019. watch 2020, baby. there's more to come. i'm a soldier. i'm ready to fight. you've got to get ready. it is an election year. david: i'm a soldier. i'm ready to fight. he's declaring war in a democracy. >> yeah, well, fortunately, alcohol is a truth teller, apparently, in cnn's case. i mean, you know, and i mean don lemon, he drinks every new year's eve. that really happened. so that's okay. he's telling the truth. but how much more liberal can he get? i mean, he's always at war with conservatives. david: but dan, dan, this isn't liberalism. this is a form of radicalism that takes democratic debate into new territory completely. this is not democratic debate. this is a declaration of war. a lot of people would say he already did that. he already sort of banned any kind of reasonable debate on issues with regard to donald trump. but this is ev

a rally in new jersey, here is what don lemon's panel said about the tens of thousands of trump voterss here and across the country. >> donald trump could not fine ukraine on a map if you had letter u and a picture of a physical crane, he knows this is an administration defined by ignorance of the world, that is partly him playing to their base, and their audience, you know, the cre boomer -- >> your geography and maps and spelling. >> and your reading. david: who has last laugh, is this door deplorable moment? >> i am afraid that very well may be the case, don lemon and his panel are not on ballot, democrats are and donald trump circumstance is, i remember whad with hillary clinton in 2015, and i on sister network and asked about this, they said are people -- you know are they deplorables. >> absolutely not, they have my signs in their yard 4 years earlier, we need to be careful, they could have made their point in a different way, but there is a good reason why people across country feel that the -- do not understand them, they talk down to them, and refuse to relate to them, average

i'm don lemon. lots of news on impeachment tonight that we need to talk about with the president's senate trial looming. it's getting really close. house democrats saying they expect nancy pelosi to announce impeachment managers in a matter of hours. as soon as tomorrow morning. vote on the resolution to send the articles of impeachment to the senate could potentially take place on wednesday. that as key republican senators, all right are you ready -- it's susan collins, lamar alexander, lisa murkowski, mitt romney. they say they're open to hearing from witnesses in the trial. i wonder if there could be more. who knows. romney saying this. >> i'd like there to be witnesses. and be able to hear from someone like john bolton. at the same time i'm comfortable with the clinton model. we hear the opening arguments first and then we'll vote on whether or not to have witnesses. >> okay. really listen to this, rudy giuliani has been lobbying to join the president's legal team on the senate floor. it doesn't

we will investigate don lemon's attempt at a cover up.ut nancy grace is here for a special appearance on an important story. here she is. we are still monitoring impeachment underway in the senate. we'll bring you anything in a interesting that happens. with te that's for sure... and when those changes might help more people, especially those in retirement, i think it's worth talking about! so, aag is introducing a new jumbo reverse mortgage loan so you can now access as much as $4 million dollars in cash, tax free, from your home's equity. aag's new jumbo reverse mortgage loan can give you more tax-free cash than ever before. if you've had your home for a while, it's probably worth a lot more today. so why not use that appreciation for anything you need maybe it's some home repairs, or updates to make it more comfortable so you can stay in the place you love. it's a viable effective way to support your other investments long into the future, and another way aag is working to make your retireme... better. don't wait. get your info kit now

does it make a difference now it was mockery it wasn't necessarily someone expressing an opinion don lemon is not known as a comedian if he's an opinion journalist then fine but there's a difference between expressing an opinion with respect and and actually mocking literally more than half the country this network itself admits it's its own bias sort of a total exposure of the bias that we experience here in our media in the united states this isn't something that just conservatives have been saying there is proof now this is the media exposing themselves when hillary's called trump supporters a basket of deplorable zx this will play to the president's favor no doubt about that this will work to deepen and broaden his base and this will work to further discredit the media that has already discredited themselves largely where the president is concerned. after the backlash the c.n.n. show's host don lemon apologized claiming he didn't catch everything that have been said he also clarified that he was laughing at the joke cannot a group of people. so if it's true scientists coming to life in

don lemon. thank you so much for joining us. we'll catch you up on all of it. up to speed. including on what it looks like the end of the impeachment stand off tweens nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell. she's preparing to send the articles of impeachment to the senate next week. which means the trial could possibly begin then. though the house and the senate both need to take some procedural steps first. that as republican sources say they want the president acquitted. not just tried. acquitted. by the time he delivers the state of the union address on february 4. so, let's get this straight. not only have they decided on the out come of the trial, they want him acquitted. which hasn't even begun. they decided when they want it to end. whatever happened to a fair trial? and we're learning more tonight about what happened the night the u.s. military killed top iran general qassim soleimani. the u.s. missed a second tarlgt that night. another senior iran military officer not in iraq. but in yemen. s

let's have john bolton be free to go on your show, don lemon, and talk about what he says he saw in theemoir. >> if nobody cares let him talk. >> 70% of americans want witnesses, let the man talk, nothing to lose, don. perfect phone call, absolutely beautiful. i did nothing wrong. all right, you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain by having john bolton, this discredited lefty tool who you paid $560,000. this moustache owed -- your national security adviser, this crank, have him talk. the reason why they don't have him talking is because this is a bombshell. we're getting more and more bombshells. number one he proves the singular narrative that trump withheld the aid to get ukraine to interfere in the elections and a couple hours ago apparently in the book him and bill barr discuss the fact that there were concerns that trump was actually courting or working with these authoritarian leaders erdogan and china and actually trying to remove some of these companies from sanctions because it benefitted him and bill barr was concerned, mike pompeo was concerned, to quote ambassa

. >>> this is "cnn tonight," i'm don lemon it is the eve of a historic day on capitol hill and for the united states in fact, impeachment trial of president trump getting under way in earnest in the senate and we begin with the breaking news the release of the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's resolution for how he wants the trial to proceed, including giving each side 24 hours over just two days to present their opening arguments. president trump's defense team filing a lengthchy rebuttal to the charges, calling it a charade and a rigged process, arguing the president was well within his rights to attempt to get a foreign leader to investigate trump's political rivals. tonight we have a trump fact check. cnn has tallied 65 ways the president has been dishonest about ukraine and impeachment. and also ahead this hour, remembering dr. martin luther king jr. and reflecting on the powerful words he used to fight racial injustice in the united states. first our breaking news on mcconnell's impeachment trial resolution which democratic leader chuck schumer is slamming as a national di

tonight don lemon delivered this lame excuse. >> i don't believe in belittling people, belittling anyoneve, or where they are from. during an interview on saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh and in the moment i found that joke humorous. i didn't catch everything that was said, i was laughing at the joke and not had any group of people. >> and i didn't hear him say "i'm sorry" because i'm not sure he is. shannon bream and the fox news at 19 take it from here. >> shannon: thank you so much. fox news alert, we are capping off a spirited rally in wildwood new jersey, the senate democrats are voting to impeach, thousands turned out in a boisterous show of support. back in washington, the president's legal team puts the finishing touches on its arguments, using democrats own words against them in an effort to convince the senators calling witnesses only prolong the process they argue has been flawed to start.

this is cnn tonight, i am don lemon. we have a lot going on. we know a lot more tonight about what might have caused that ukrainian passenger plane to crash moments after take-off from tehran shortly after iran launched a missile attack on bases housing u.s. troops in iran. all 176 people on the plane were killed. here's the working theory tonight is that the plane was shot down by mistake by an iranian surface-to-air missile. and u.s. intel, well, they saw signs of that within hours. the data showed that iranian radar signals locked onto the plane before it was shot down. and, here, take a look at this. this is video. it was sent to cnn. it appears to show the moment of impact. what looks like a missile striking an object in the sky around the time that the plane crashed. now, cnn cannot verify the authenticity of the video, but the buildings appear to be similar to ones in the suburb of paran. so, the plane disappeared from radar north of there. only hours after iran's air strikes on bases in iraq. the video from their news agency purports to

the mob, don lemon, cnn, fake news. >> i have a lot of thoughts.r liked john bolton. john bolton would bomb his neighbor if he didn't trim his hedges. he was bad for the president. he got fired. he's a chicken to confront the president and instead he has this sleazy book and he releasen that just so he he can hurt the president. >> sean: i said are you going to support the president's agenda? becuase it is different than yours. he told me yes. >> yeah, well, he lied. whatever he has to say, if he says what they are saying he said, it's still not an impeachable offense. the president clearly, because hunter biden stunk up ukraine so badly, but president clearly had a good reason to be concerned about corruption. the president will not be impeached, but we are going to have to go through this agony. in terms of joe biden, i think he is getting desperate. bernie sanders is now the odds-on favorite. i think he is going to win the nomination. he's going to take iowa closely. he's going to win big in new hampshire. joe will slow him with south carolina,
