host: that's john in florida. diamond, washington. independent, your next. good morning, thank you. my apologies, i gave the wrong zip code. i'm in seattle. i disagree with this. this is reeducation. i don't know what other symbols we need to give to us on what is trying to happen here. there's nothing wrong with learning about how our country was created, and it was created on the backs of slaves, created with the blood of our native americans. people, and, took we even know this. -- and we need to know this. this is the history we cannot repeat. yes, great,tion, but the constitution is a 250-year-old document that we have amended 27 times. it could be amended a few more times. franklin roosevelt had a second bill of rights that looks similar to a green new deal. so let's look forward, let's educate, and educate on the past. we made these mistakes, let's not make them again. thank you. i'm at work and have calls going on. thank you, c-span and good morning, america. host: that's jeff, our last color on "washington journal," but we will be back here tomorrow

site of his son's grave and you would think that john kelly might want to make his feelings known before election day. so far he has not. >> jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you. >>> "the atlantic" also makes this claim about the funeral for late senator john mccain. quote, when mccain died in august 2018 trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, we are not going to support that loser's funeral, and he became fur ris, according to witnesses when he saw flags lowered to half staff. the president denies this and other reporting in "the atlantic" tweeting, quote, i never called john a loser and swear on whatever or whoever i was asked to swear on that i never called our great fallen soldiers anything other than heroes. not only has the president referred to senator mccain as a loser at least once that we know of, but he did so on tape. >> i supported him. he lost. he let us down. he lost. so i never liked him as much after that, because i don't like losers. but, frankly, he hit me -- >> he's a war hero. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured,

john, stand by. i want to go to jeremy diamond inside the room during this press conference. interesting soon as the president got questions about the tax returns he started to pivot to more friendly questioners. >> reporter: that's right, ana. no question. the president essentially was eager to say fake news as relates to this "new york times" report but wasn't willing to take any questions about this other than a handful at the beginning. this president is refusing to essentially address a fundamental question of transparency as it relates to his finances. we know, of course, these were questions litigated during the 2016 presidential election as well. the president then as he did now claiming that this audit is preventing him from being able to release his tax returns. that's not true at all. the president could decide if he wanted to release his tax returns especially the burden is now even higher on him, because of this information in the "new york times." while the president is dismissing this as simply a fake and made-up story, it is hard to see how that's possible whe

diamond, cnn the white house. >>> mean. while jacob blake's uncle told cnn's john berman he's not satisfied at all with president trump's message. take a listen. >> he's been a lying president. he's been a racially discriminating president against the minorities. the racial things he says invoke and empower police officers all over the country to rein down hate on african-americans like our little brother, my little nephew, i'm sorry. so at this point we're taking the gloves off. still standing strong. we're contingent people to be peaceful. let's put the facts on the table and address them as they are. >> so let's talk now with a cnn political commentator who endorsed bernie sanders for president this year and scott jennings a cnn political commentator and former special assistant to president george w. bush. welcome to you both. >> good evening. >> scott, let's start with you. president trump's politically charged visit to kenosha tuesday was all about highlighting law and order issues and unrest in the city not about focusing on what triggered all this the polic

diamond, cnn, the white house. >> well, mr. trump has publicly disparaged other decorated vempbs, john kelly and john mccain. retired army lieutenant hartling says the president doesn't understand the military. >> every time he talks about how he helps the military, it's usually transactional events, i have given them more pay. i have given them money for the budget, which is true, but there are things that you can debate. i'm getting military forces out of country because they are not paying enough. what the military is interested in national security. how do we contribute to peace so we don't have to fight? how do we ensure that we take care of each other, not guarantee a monetary return, but care for one another? there is a lack of understanding, him, to the military, the military to him. >> the holiday weekend drawing out more protestors, sending a clear message for racial justice and against police brutality. demonstrators marching near the kentucky derby in louisville. that is the ski j breonna taylor was killed in march. jason carroll was there. >> reporter: the demonstration ended where it began, a p

john kelly has not spoken out yet. his silence is really deafening. dana. >> jeremy diamond, thank you for that reporting. i want to bring in former director of national intelligence under president obama, cnn national security analyst james clapper who also happens to be retired u.s. air force three-star general. general clapper, let's get right to this. multiple outlets have confirmed this story, despite the president's denials. he has already made numerous public statements before all this disparaging members of the military. so i want to get your reaction as somebody who served at the highest ranks of the military with honor and distinction for decades. >> well, dana, thank you. as a career military person, i spent 34 years in the marine corps and the air force. my father served for 28 years in the army. i did two tours in southeast asia. so if this is true, you know, it's really reprehensible. and the problem is, you know, it is believable. given the president's past behavior and statements to me, most notably about senator mccain. the other instances that come to mind are his insults of the gold sta

president in 2015 had referred to john mccain as a loser and said he liked people who weren't captured. not all too dissimilar from the trip to france. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. >>> the editor in chief of "the atlantic" saying that story was just the tip of the iceberg. jeffrey goldberg defended his reporting on sunday to cnn's brian stelter and says to expect more. >> i felt it was important to publish because in my experience, our collective experience, i don't think we've had a president who has contempt for american soldiers, wounded veterans, people who have been killed in action so it is incredibly novel. it is -- it's one of the -- it's one of these things that's in a category that's shocking yet not surprising. i say not surprising to borrow your phrase open secrets. in 2012, he mocked john mccain for getting captured. that in ordinary times and according to the rules of ordinary politics, that should have ended a candidacy. it didn't and we've been living in that reality. so i've just been fascinated by his attitude towards the military and people who provide selfless service to the country. it's not something he seems to under

diamond, cnn, the white house. >> mr. trump has also publicly disparaged other veterans of course like the late senator john mccain who was tortured during his years in the vietnam war. >> it's just as true, you know, it's really reprehensible. and the problem is it is believable given the president's past behavior and statements he made, most notably about senator mccain and other instances come to mind of the gold star family and similar incidents, you know, where you get the impression he doesn't really respect or appreciate the military. so for me both personally and institutionally it's deeply troubling. >> clapper was also director of national intelligence under president obama and has been critical of trump in the past. he's also been attacked by the president on twitter. now less than two months before the election u.s. protests on racial justice show no signs of letting up. groups denouncing the police killing of breonna taylor peacefully marched and rallied in louisville, kentucky, on saturday. and they felt their voices were heard. >> reporter: well, the demonstrations ended where it began at a park just about
