Her hands to get the party on the same page. Can they take on the president if theyre taking on each other . Plus, Jeffrey Epstein is trying to work another sweetheart deal for himself. We have the man who wrote the book on epstein. Inside the mystery money and connections. What do you say . Lets get after it. Now, listen. Mr. Mueller may highlight the findings on obstruction. But this president is going to be put into the cross hairs by congress. And congress will have to get people to testify to those findings. So here come the subpoenas. 12 key players in the trump orbit. Soninlaw jarrod. John kelly. Former a. G. Sessions and the man who stepped in to oversee the investigation when sessions recused himself, mr. Rod rosenstein. The president says the Mueller Report was the end. Thats not what mueller said in the report. What is the case to hide from the light of scrutiny . To make the case, the cheryl of the american conservative union. Hello, brother. Good to have you. So make the case. I use the president s rationale. He didnt follow it in his own case but youve got nothing to hide. And go speak. Why not do that here . Show of strength. Won and done. It seemed at the time, what everybody wanted to have happen is to have an independent voice come in. Reports to the doj on what exactly happened. The president allowed everybody to participate fully. What you see with democrats, i believe, they didnt like all the answers that came from bob mueller. They want a mulligan. They want to start the process all over again. They have the right to do it. The president also has prerogatives for those who work in the executive branch to say, look. Ive said i didnt have to allow them to participate with mueller and i did, fully. What more can we learn . Lets test the case. The biggest point is that this president never testified or submitted to real questioning. His lawyers, several times. The raskins, sekulow, giuliani, coaching to keep him out of the chair. He violated his own rule. If youve got nothing to hide, testify. So this isnt a second bite of the apple because they never got the first bite. In the Mueller Report he says, here are the findings. I cant do anything about them. Thats congress doing. So this isnt a doover. It is an extension. Hes wrong about saying that. Bob muellers job was to report back to the department of justice. His findings. It was not to have a call to action from congress. If thats exactly what he did in the report, and i think thats fair, i think for many americans, thats when he looks like hes getting political. I cant find anything. Hey, fellas on the hill, why dont you find something. I watch a lot of media. I read a lot of media. We have covered this issue ad nauseam for two years and theres not a sint ilya of wrongdoing except some believe when trump fired jim comey, that equals obstruction. Six or seven. I dont agree with that. Thats a constitutional question about whether or not the president has the ability to fire people that serve at the pleasure of the president. People who dont like that Decision Making dont have to vote for him. Thats what you do. To carry on a mulligan investigation and start all over again with these people who have spent hundreds of thousands on lawyers. The money cant be the issue. Why destroy people to go through the meat grinder one more time . Why is it destroying people . Because you trusted bob mueller to find the answer. Bob mueller is your boy. Hes not my boy. Hes a minted republican. Let me speak for myself about that. I did the First Political check on james comey. Ill start there. He was not a rock ribbed republican. Im talking about mueller. Bob mueller might be a registered republican but he was a trump hater. Someone we call a never trumper. He interviewed to be head of the fbi right before he did this. Yeah, why is there an obstruction of justice to get rid of james comey who he would have replaced . He never brought that up to the president. Why would bob mueller ask the president the day before hes picked to be the special counsel for the job of fbi director he was asked to come in to interview. He didnt ask for the job. Thats not my understanding. He was asked to come in by a mutual friend. You dont come in and talk to the president about being the fbi director unless you have an interest. Im not saying he didnt have an interest. If he thought what he had just done to james comey was unconstitutional and obstruction of justice, i dont think he would have agreed to be interviewed. I dont think he knew. I think he was in the investigation with exactly what he put on page one of part two. Im not allowed to indict a sitting president. Hes given two different answers to that. I know the lawyer who wrote that opinion who is now a federal judge. A great democratic lawyer. The fact is bob mueller has given different answers as to yes couldnt go forward and indict the president. Well get that next week. I dont think we will. I think hell be asked. Do you think bob mueller, the man you saw at that press conference, dottering through that statement, having trouble getting through that statement. Do you think well really learn anything . I think people didnt read the book and they will watch the movie. And i think he will be impressive on reciting the findings. Do i think he changed the calculus . Not necessarily. I dont think it is replay. I think it is the ends of the play. The democrats have to make a choice. If theyre going down this hedge road of oversight, this will never end. And theres political pain for them. If they really believe what mr. Mueller put out, that there are at least six, seven grounds of potential obstruction of justice, im not saying they can impeach or saying they should. They can impeach. Well, they maybe can. I dont know that they can for articles of impeachment. We would have to see it. It is a political question. Of course. All of it trappings of being a judicial process. However, this is going to be instigated by what the president says. It is a show of weakness to not have your people comply. He doesnt have executive privilege. I disagree. I think theres a medium course here. There are times when president s have allowed people who work for them currently in the executive branch to talk to congress. Sometimes that is done without television cameras. Sometimes thats done with immunity to make sure that the facts come out for the American People to see. There is a million different gradations. When this president if you would allow no finish this, they jumped right, as nadler wants to do. And as the new ralized majority wants to do. They want this confrontation. They dont want to find the facts. They want the political confrontation. It is my opinion. That is going to be tested politically. Im saying what is the basis . Heres the problem. We decided as a country, in most democrats thought this was the right move when Rod Rosenstein said, okay. Well get special counsel. Something everybody can respectful ive been on this network and a lot of others where people lauded bob mueller. And i will say this. They picked a person who has a High Integrity and high respect. He took a very long time. He went through the midterms. Can you imagine . He found no wrongdoing. Not true. What are you talking about . Name a specific thing in that report that was indictable. None of it is indictable because you cant indict a sitting president. Thats not what he said. It is what em. He said i cant indict a sitting president. What did he tell in his press conference . What he said at his press conference is not what the attorney general says. What he said was, listen. We did this. We looked at it. If we could have said this, we would have. This goes full circle. Why didnt donald trump sit down with bob mueller and answer all the questions . If bob mueller is an honest person who has nothing to hide, why cannot he give the same anxious over and over again . No way. Let me go here. Im giving you latitude but to put these two men in terms of veracity yeah. I think donald trump is much more solid. When it comes to telling the truth . Yes. You believe this president is more of a truth teller than bob mueller . I know you think he doesnt tell the truth. And you trust him . Do i trust the president. I didnt say you should never trust the president. Im saying you dont think he lies . We can spend all day going through i want a yes no. I think chris cuomo lies. You dont think this president lies to the American People more than weve seen in the past . Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, on the things he said he would do as president , name one thing. You are narrowly defining it. The most important thing. I want to be your president. I will do these six things. He is doing those six things. Thats not where his integrity ends. In the selling of those things he even lied. He called this tax cut a middle class tax cut. He said the wall would fix the problem. It is not a fix for the problem. Im going back to the question of bob mueller. Good switch. The reason why you should be careful in dealing with the special counsel who can indict you, if doj goes along with it. Is that they can look at your words and say, wow, these words dont match up with these words. Bob muellers reasons for indicting or not indicting, hes given different answers. If i use that standard, i could indict bob mueller. He would have had nothing to worry about. Not true. Carter page had four fisa warrants on him. And they didnt indict him. He never did anything so what . You dont have to fight a crime why would you use the fisa court on someone who never did anything wrong . Thats what it was. I cant wait until they release it so we can all see it. I cant believe it. I sound like the liberal in this conversation. I think prosecutors can go too far and i think american citizens are victimized by prosecutors who want to do nothing but find any way to indict somebody instead of finding the real criminal underlying issue. I have no problem getting to the truth. Well see what happens. Thank you very much. Next, the best indicator of who is moving up the democratic polls. You have to look at who the president attacks. He went after Elizabeth Warren and he made the right choice. Well show you why he has the best poll numbers. Who is moving where and why . Next.

Who is up and who is down and why . We have new numbers. And harry, the wizard of oz. Great to have you here to talk about the state of play. You want to start with South Carolina. Why . Why . First off, the hottest numbers. They came in, more than that, we saw them go after joe bidens record on busing. South carolina is a real shot to see who are not that had a true effect. It caused a majority. The fourth one in. Those are two big indicators. Ive broken it down overall. We see that joe biden has an overwhelming lead in the South Carolina poll. Leading the field at 35 . And harris is all the way back at 12 . Take a look at africanamericans. Joe biden is doing better with them. And harris is running third. Only 12 . Shes actually running behind Bernie Sanders as well. What do you think about the switch of sanders and warren . The story of the day is warren but here shes way back. I think this column gives you a pretty good indication. She is still struggling with africanamericans. This is one of the routes she hasnt made an inroads with yet. Any insights . Africanamericans know Bernie Sanders. They trust joe biden. Elizabeth warren comes from massachusetts. While she is making a play, lets keep in mind a lot of voters are still getting to know her. The second and third numbers. One of the interesting things to know is that women within the africanamerican vote is really the strong suit. It will be interesting to see how they are resonating. One other thing ill point out. Moderate to conservatives. Africanamericans. Thats the biggest bloc. Elizabeth warren is a very liberal candidate. Now we go to the national numbers. What do we see . It was just a fresh day of polls. A Beautiful Day of polls for everybody. We have the wall street journal poll. What we see is joe biden is holding on to that number one position. He is a little weaker pre debate. Basically we see in both the poll polls and the wall street journal, a threeway tie. I wouldnt do it that way. I would do this. I want to do this and this. We have a big discrepancy. We do have a big discrepancy. I think it will be interesting to see. Were seeing that warren, the president went after Elizabeth Warren. Why . We see a move. The wizard of oz said, i think not about the debate for her. This is a slow build. Look at this. Look at this. What do we see going up . Six, ten, 12 . This is a continuous climb for her. I think this is better than a post debate bump. It tells you it is not just about the debate. Shes building the case and they seem to be latching on. Not a splash. This is a tie. College. If youre looking at where Elizabeth Warren is, it is White College graduates. 22 post june debate. She didnt grow as much among whites without a college degree. White noncollege grads, moderate conservatives and africanamericans is where she needs to improve. Right now she is being powered by whites with a college degree. A very good look inside the numbers. Its interesting, the difference between harris and warren. Warren is making a case with the i have a plan for everything. Harris made a splash in that last debate. It is interesting to see if there was any back lash against her. Wizard of oz. Thank you very much. Shalom, my friend. Sounds like a tag line.

Awesome. Id rather not. Weve been watching racial animus play out. Now it seems to be spilling into the house. Now alexandria ocasiocortez saying the speaker of the house is speaking out against speaking out against women of color. Lets use that as a spring board for debate. Why is it okay to use the race card against pelosi . I dont think thats the question. I think the question is why did nancy pelosi send a blank check. Why does cortez play the race card against pelosi . Because shes choosing to single out four women of color in congress who voted alongside 90 other democrats in the house. Part of the Congressional Hispanic Congress against this bill. Why did we have to write a blank check to trumps Deportation Machine . The reality is that seven children have died at the border under the trump administrations watch. Thats the real conversation. Are you troubled about whether or not the kids died in part because the democrats delayed fugd so long . No. I think it is because were not actually, were taking Mitch Mcconnell at his word, asking with zero concessions and accountability for human rights abuses happening under our watch. This doesnt make any sense. Why are we writing a blank checking without pushing . The reality is that four democrats didnt do this. 90 democrats in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus also voted alongside four other women. And that apparently is why this is happening. Lets so lets base this in reality that it was a handful of centrist democrats that forced nancy pelosi to sign a bill with Mitch Mcconnell that had zero concessions, zero oversight, accountability when there are seven children that have died under the president s watch. Even beyond that, right . We have women hold on a second. We have women being forced to drink out of toilets. We dont know that. We know that alexandria ocasiocortez said that. We need to see if theres proof of it. Joe, let me get you in on this. This is no question that a lot of democrats were sideways on the nature of the if you saiding sent down. What do you make of the state of play in your own party . Well, i think our party is used to vigorous debate. Those who made the point that pelosi didnt get the best deal she could have a point. Shes been doing it a long time. I believe she got the best deal she could but it goes beyond the pale when you start assigning motives to her. I think that alexandria ocasiocortez has done a terrific job since shes been in congress. The freshmen, moderate freshmen or very progressive freshmen have been leaders. They performed well in hearings. They performed well in every part of the job. Nancy knows what shes doing and she thought that was the best deal. To go like the aocs chief of staff said to compare the caucus to segregationists, it is just wrong. You can criticize the deal. You can say she could have gotten more but you cant assign that kind of motive. The problem, heres the thing. They did. Theyve done it more than once and i would bet theyve done it again. How can you take on this president . The way we take on this passion of the progressive winning of the party. But also the strength in the center and the moderates. The reason nancy pelosi is in a position to make these deals. A good deal or a bad deal was not because of a great progressive movement. It is because moderates in 40 districts around the country turned republican seats into democrat seats. So both have to have a seat at the table. We wont beat trump if both are fighting each other and it is Nancy Pelosis job to keep them together. I think thats the interesting thing. I hear you on your arguments. People call me up all the time and tell me. Whether or not your party is a party or two or three different factions. There is a chance you wont come together behind a nominee. I think it is very clear we all want to defeat donald trump. Lets not repeat what got him to this place. The focus has to be on the fact that we have people dying at our border. It doesnt have to be polite. I dont give you the high ground on that. Because you guys knew, not you. Youre not in congress. The democrats knew for six months that they could not meet the standard of care on the border. They came to you as acting dhs and said i need the money. You didnt give it. And there were conversations this phone, we need guarantees. We need guarantees. But not in a moment of crisis you dont. You need to get the money down there to stop the pain to prevent the injuries and the death and you waited six months. You dont think theres a price for that politically . I think theres a price politically to say youre going to hold donald trump accountable and not actually do it. If were going to actually hold donald trump accountable, then do it. Do it. Save the children at the border. Hold Families Together and hold the president accountable. By at least moving forward with articles of impeachment and inquiry on it. This is not rocket science. You can fight for the issues we gary and continue to question the fact that we have seven children that have died at the border. 12 people. Okay. 12. Even worse. And were debating whether or not if it is polite to talk about that. Im not talking about whether or not it is polite. I think playing the race card against nancy pelosi was not a smart move. Both for their careers and for consolidation within your party. But joe, alexandra makes a good point. I guess the point is why single these four people out . Because they are group that played that card. 93 other democrats 95 other democrats also vote for this bill. She didnt call them out by name. I get you. I think a little of that is media baiting, to be honest with you. She didnt call them out by name. I appreciate your point. What do you do Going Forward . She has a point. There was a mandate in 2018. It was check this president s ass. Come strong. And you heard the words. They were all talking that talk. Are you walking that walk right now . You have to go back to 2018. The checks were on things Like Health Care and protecting preexisting conditions. There was not a ground swell in these 40 districts that swung in the house for removing the president or for bob muellers report. These candidates didnt run ads on russia. They ran on protecting preexisting conditions on health care. I understand. There is a legitimate debate going on in the Democratic Party over how to take on trump. I think the subpoenas, if theyre defied, well see whether the democrats move forward or not. To go back to the original point, i dont think the speaker singled out any particular members. There are some members who are using social media very effectively to get out to new voters. They are calling attention to themselves on the issues. To take next step and say that shes playing, shes a racist of some kind. It is just not true. And whether it is helpful or not or hurts the party or not. It is the most important thing. It is not true. Well, i hear you on that. Do you know what i see . I see it reflected with whats going on in the party. Theres pragmatism. You have the passion. And thats at play in this debate as well. It is good that you bring it on the show. And we need both. Youve got both. James patterson created some pretty wild fictional crime stories.

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein are pushing for him to get out on bond and live in his 77 million abode pending trial. But more accusers are still coming forward with claims against the sex offender. He is a top tier sex offender. And he is certainly got an easy deal the last time by u. S. Attorney alex acosta. Will it happen again . There is so much intrigue. Lets bring in the legendary author, james patterson. He wrote about the epstein scandal 2016. Filthy rich. Important to know what we were talking about before we came on. The thing about his abode is the door is broken. 2016, you come out with a book. Filthy rich. Not a lot of interest in it. Even though so much that existed, in terms of being here on the shows, the outrage. Only now were starting to hear it. Why the delay . I think a piece of it was the political side. I think what got a lot of interest was the involvement of acosta. Hes in the book as well. But all of a sudden, when we put the book out, he was not secretary of labor. Now okay, well talk about trump and the secretary of labor. There was a secrecy here intended or implicit. He got the job being dean of the law school there. He got a lot of people saying he would be great as secretary of labor. Did they not know about this . Or was it a misunderstanding . I think probably a misunderstanding. Ive heard people go over it a lot in terms of the sweetheart deal. I think what happened, ive talked to a lot of people about it. It wasnt that they were afraid of dershwitz and stone and everybody. It was that these people had convinced them, one, we wont let all these girls testify because they cant prove they were there. And secondly, that were going to destroy them. If you can get epstein for prosecution, youre going to get him. But if you do this, youll destroy girls. Not the kind of things that usually works with a prosecutor. Im going to destroy your witnesses. Except if you listen to these girls, especially back then. You know what . Its tricky. Its going to be tricky with them. Do you think theres more cultural currency now . Yeah, yeah. This is an interesting thing. In terms of the whole me too movement. Nobody seems to be rising up that much in terms of the girls. Obviously they did in the cosby case. Women are coming out though. Obviously they had to have new evidence to get the warrants. Two things for you. When you were researching the book, this intrigue around his money. These dark notions that not only does he not have the money that he was purporting to have, but that there was no real hedge fund, no investment. It was about money he was getting from people because they were tangled with him in what they knew about him. I think he made money for people. I think he was advising them on how to get out of tax issues. As we were saying, man, get wesley wexner on here. He knows stuff. They were pretty tight. Why do you think hes been so tough to come forward . I dont think he wants to come forward. He may be ashamed of it. Or maybe he doesnt have any exposure as far as we know. Who knows . It is the public corruption unit looking at this. It could be a move, maybe they had a tough time doing it before. But it is unusual to have this kid abuse case being handled by public corruption. I have to believe they have some new stuff. The thing once they broke down the pornography in his apartment, the worst case, they have that. But in order to get warrants, they need something else. Otherwise it would be fruit from the poisonous tree and they wouldnt be able to use it. And it is a Human Trafficking story. It is abusive of minors and sex abuse story. Not just underage girls. It is about trafficking. We need to pay so much more attention. It is about the girls, we need to Pay Attention to that. Its not that were going to stop this. But these sweetheart deals is, we have to at least limit them and cut them down. If this does that, then thats a good thing.

So if integrity is defined by what you do when no one is looking, then perhaps political principle is somewhat of a practical opposite. Meaning, it is what you stick to when everyone is looking. And in this new book, american carnage, by tim alberta, we are reminding about how so many who stake their reputation on principle caved to political convenience in this administration. Exhibit a has to be paul ryan. Because moments like this became a staple of my coverage of this administration. Do you hear that . Thats the silence from Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan. Time and time again this president would say provocative things and they would say nothing. Ryan would never take an invitation to defend any of his standing by, despite always casting himself as different, as putting principle before party, but when he took the speakership, insisting he would do it his way, his spine softened. Now that hes retired, he seems to be trying to recast his reticence to speak truth to power with this. Weve gotten so numbed by it all, not in government, but where we live our lives, we have a responsibility to try and rebuild. Dont call a woman a horse face. Dont cheat on your wife. Dont cheat on anything. Be a good person. Set a good example. He never said anything like that about this president when he had the power to make a stand. Despite him saying he would never defend this personal perfidy of this president , and i say forget about his remounting the moral high horse about this president s personal life. I dont care about his personal life. Lets stick to serious politics and policy and remember where ryan stood while in office. Here he is on trumps arguably inappropriate interactions with jim comey. Hes new at government, and so therefore i think that he hes learning as he goes. On trumps charlottesville both sides comment. Hes learning. I know his hearts in the right place. And on the executive order banning muslims. The president has a responsibility to the security of this country. We need to pause and we need to make sure that the vetting standards are up to snuff so we can guarantee the safety and security of our country. That is what this does. Did we . Because just 14 months before that, he was infuriated by the suggestion of the same type of ban. Proof. What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for, and more importantly, its not what this country stands for. So what happened . Ill tell you what happens. With every collapse of character the offender in politics often rationalizes the fall. I told myself i got to have a relationship with this guy to help him get his mind right. Because im telling you, he didnt know anything about government. I wanted to scold him all the time. Yeah, but you didnt. You said nothing too often. Ive decided im not going to comment on the tweets of the day or the hour. I havent seen them all, to be candid with you. And when he did speak, he was meek, and when he acted, he was in this president s shadow. A 538 Analysis Shows ryan voted in line with trumps position 95. 5 of the time. From the border wall to the fugazi middle class tax cuts that ballooned the deficit. So much for being a budget hawk, right . Ryans signature issue. There are other examples in here of how those once around this potus were once opposed and became patsies. Mr. Spicer, mr. Priebus, mr. Mulvaney. Can you believe the man who now says you got to let trump be trump is code for im scared, right . Mulvaney once said were not going to let donald trump dismantle the bill of rights. But i focus on paul ryan, why . Because he could well have a second act in politics and he could look good to the reasonable right and even some in the center, but hes going to have to own that he was just like the rest of them, not the best of them. He was given a chance to do what he said he would do, all the things that made so many smile when he spoke, seeing in him a hope for a better politics, principle before party, progress before patronage, but when he had the power to be different as speaker he was painfully the same. Alberta writes that ryan saw retirement as an escape hatch. Maybe an escape from trump or politics but not from reality. This period that were all living together right now is going to be remembered for a long time and people will be counted, what they stood for, what they good against, and absolutely those who stood still. Thank you for watching. Cnn tonight with the one and only d. Lemon starts right now. One observation, when you were playing the sound byte wasnt the same paul ryan. One had a beard.
