Transcripts For CNN CNN Tonight With Don Lemon 20240711

I should have researched. Im not sure it was thats what i said when we talked on thursday, but im not so sure about that. Do you know who Scott Galloway is . I think it has a lot to do with bro culture, and i think that is its a lot more nuanced than we think. And i think its a lot of people who are online trying to get rich quick. Mmhmm. That whole, like, against the man thing. I think thats a great narrative to spin. Im not exactly sure that is what it is because as we know, listen, you used to work in finance, didnt you . Mmhmm. You know everything is its going to go back to the fundamentals no matter how hard you try. To a certain degree. Im just worried about when that happens. There are going to be very few people who are going to get rich quick, right . Most people are going to lose money. Look, again, thats the game. Yeah. And it is a game. Im just worried about this particular dynamic because weve never seen anything like it before at this scale. And, you know, i had portnoy on and he was making the case, i dont treat people like theyre stupid or like theyre infants. Neither do we. I talk up to my audience on a regular basis. Im saying when youre not in the investing game and you dont understand the loss culture personally, saying dont bet more than you could lose is not as simple as that very often. I agree. But i also see it as a layered effect of what were dealing with in congress. Yep. How we cant even dismiss qanon out of hand. How Mitch Mcconnell cant even call marjorie by name. Taylor greene. At least he came out tonight and said qanon has to place in the party. Im not ready to give him a medal for that. Its an obvious statement. Whats amazing is it took so long. Whats more amazing, don, is hes in the minority. Hes in a distinct minority in his own party of people who have come out against her. The former president just met with her, and she said, he has my back. Its crazy. And not only is he in the minority on this, hes in the minority because of trump and because of this, because there were many people around the country who did not want this kind of craziness, especially at the top, and people who were cosigning it from the top, from the Biggest Office in the land. So im not so sure why those folks will continue to follow the former president and to make excuses for Marjorie Taylor greene. But i think its at the debtriment of not only their reputations and their legacies but also at the detriment of the Republican Party and the guys are worried about antifa and what they can mean in their ugliest manifestations and theyre quiet about this . Antifa does things that are wrong. Sometimes criminal. They fall off a skateboard, and its antifa, and they believe the insurrection on antifa. It had nothing to do with it. Its become the boogeyman. My last point is my beginning. The crowdsourcing when it comes to gamestop and that, i get it. Well see where it goes. Im worried about it. I already know the answer of the crowdsourcing thats happening right now. And it was the released kraken, by the retrumplicans. These Extremist Groups now have access to rank and file republicans and independents, and they are radicalizing like crazy. You talk to anybody in the business of tracking them. Theyve never seen open dialogue like these hate groups are having right now and theyre catching on like fire. The reason that cliche has become cliche is because sometimes theyre true. You cannot put the genie back in the bottle. Thank you, sir. D. Lemon, i love you. I love you too. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. I hope youre safe. We have a big noreaster up here. Its not pretty. So we have some Breaking News tonight. President biden sits down with ten republican senators to try to find some Common Ground on covid relief while were in a race against time. We really are. A race that we cannot afford to lose because were going to lose a lot of people. We have already, and were going to continue to lose more not only from the Health Ramifications of this but economic as well. That as Conspiracy Theory congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene may be about to get her come to jesus moment. Maybe. Well see. Mitch mcconnell putting out a statement tonight calling her lies, quote, a cancer for the Republican Party without deigning to name the congresswoman. He didnt do it. He says Conspiracy Theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country. Somebody who suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon On 9 11, that horrifying School Shootings were prestaged, and that the clintons crashed jfk jr. s airplane is not living in reality. Then he goes on to say this has nothing to do with the challenges facing American Families or the robust debate on substance that can strengthen our party. Quote from Mitch Mcconnell, everyone, which is all true, what he said. She said all of that. Its odd theres never any evidence shown for a plane in the pentagon. Yes, i could dive into kennedy getting killed in the plane crash because isnt It Interesting that he had announced he was going to run for senate just before he died in a mysterious plane crash . She said it, okay . So, okay, so sure. It took a long time for Mitch Mcconnell to Say Something about all that. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been publicly embracing trump and vice versa. You cannot erase all of that with a statement. Too little, too late. Not even naming her. And if you think shes sorry, i want you to get this. The congresswoman tweeting tonight, the real cancer for the Republican Party is weak republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country. The translation is, i know you are, but what am i . But its beyond childish. Mitch mcconnell is trying to put the genie back in the bottle, as i said, after enabling all of this for years. He tried to signal to senators not to make objections to the Electoral College certification. He tried to signal that it would be okay to impeach trump. You cant control these forces forever. And now republicans are going to have to face the bitter reality of what they enabled. Sources telling cnn that mccarthy could meet with Marjorie Taylor greene as soon as tomorrow. Democrats planning to deliver an ultimatum, though, to mccarthy this week. That ultimatum is you have 72 hours to strip greene of her Committee Assignments or democrats will bring the issue to the house floor. What what has happened to the Republican Party . What has all this enabling done to them . What . Seriously, i want you to ponder all of that. More and more members of the gop running for the exits now. Christopher purcell, who worked in the george w. Bush white house for six years, reportedly saying 60 to 70 former bush officials have decided to leave the party. Thats according to reuters. That as the previous president s Impeachment Trial, his second Impeachment Trial by the way, just one week away. And were getting a preview tonight of how the Impeachment Managers will argue the case, with shocking details of what happened at the capitol that day, arguing that the thenpresident intentionally incited rioters with months and months of lies to steal the election, right . And hes still doing it. A Trump Adviser is telling cnn that the president former president is still obsessed with his false Conspiracy Theory. He wants his new legal team, after the first team quit over the weekend just left, right . He wants them to argue his big lie even now, even after the bloody insurrection at the u. S. Capitol. Again, think about that for a minute. He wants his Impeachment Defense to be exactly the same as his behavior that started the insur insurrection. When youre 70something years old, you dont change. You know that. Lies on top of lies. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. The former president time after time put his own political survival ahead of the good of this country. A president who did things other president s wouldnt dare dream of doing. So should he still be getting Intelligence Briefings . Made a determination about whether it will continue to extend the privilege of Intelligence Briefings to former president trump, given the concerns among some democrats that hell either misuse it or leverage it to enrich himself. This is a good question. Ive raised it with our Intelligence Team or our National Security team, i should say. Its something obviously thats under review. Under review. Lets remember. Remember this . Rus russia, if youre listening russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails. Lets remember that perfect call. Perfect. The one that got him impeached the first time. I had a very good call with the president of ukraine. I assume thats what youre talking about. The call was perfect. Lets remember him saying that he would take Opposition Research from a foreign power. If somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent. Oh, i think id want to hear it. What is his obsession with norway . Norway is not going to call with information on your opponent. Just think about just the two or three things that i just showed you. That was like a random tuesday or wednesday or thursday in the trump white house. Can you imagine that happening now . Heads would be popping off all over from republicans and state media. Oh, my gosh, joe biden, information from a foreign oh, my gosh. And now . Or then when it happened, silence. Nothing. It was okay. But i digress because you know why . Sharing Classified Information with russians in the oval office is another example. This is a former president who is about to be tried for inciting a domestic Terror Attack on the capitol. Should we still be trusting him with intelligence secrets . Common sense, people. And in the party that enabled him for years, the hypocrisy is just off the charts, everywhere. Members of Congress Afraid to speak up about Marjorie Taylor greene but all too willing to throw liz cheney under the bus. Liz cheney. Meghan mccain blaming the media for reporting on the craziness coming out of her own party. The more that the Mainstream Media continues to come out and say that all republicans are birthers and crazy people and we believe in space lasers, then the more it makes traditional republicans and there are still a lot of them in the country go back into their corners. And this is becoming very tribal, and i would argue this is how we got trump in the first place. Look, i dont know anybody who said all. I think that people are hearing that. Thats selective hearing. Meghan, that is selective hearing. That is not what people are saying. And you cant blame the media for that. That is something that the Republican Party must fix itself. The media is the media. Marco rubio afraid to hold Trump Accountable because it will just anger the insurrectionists. I think the trial is stupid. I think its counterproductive. We already have a flaming fire in this country, and its like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire. Okay. And those its always somebody elses fault. Its always its always someone elses fault. How about we have a problem in our party, and if we dont fix the Marjorie Taylor greenes, the insurrectionists, the Conspiracy Theories, all that, people are going to paint us with a broad brush, and rightfully so because what does that mean . That means that in some way, we are condoning their behavior when enough people dont speak up about it and when we blame everybody else for our problems in our own house. It doesnt mean that all republicans believe that, but it is the Republican Party and members of said party, who were doing what . Trying to overturn an election, beating up Police Officers at the capitol, storming the capitol, going into peoples offices. They were doing that In The Name Of what . The leader of the free world at the time, the president of the United States, and the leader of the Republican Party, who was and is donald trump. So stop blaming the media and other people and mirror. Hold it up to your own party and your own people and hold yourselves accountable. And those Insurrectionists Who Rioted at the capitol to stop the steal, right . What about them . Well, heres what cnn has learned. Some of them never even voted in the election that they claimed to be protesting. There are still some republicans who are ready to move some who are ready to move forward and leave trump in the Rearview Mirror because a lot of them are afraid. I think more than want to do it in their heart of hearts. They just wont say it. Theyre just afraid to because they dont want to be primaried. So, again, they get tarred with the same thing because they just cant do it because they want theyre playing to their constituents, who they have over the course of these years allowed everything that this president wanted to do, good, bad, or indifferent, terrible, allowed that to happen, and then helped him sow the big lie of an election steal and a fraudulent election by not calling him out when he was in the process of saying, joe biden was they stole it, the democrats, when they know it wasnt true. Thats not the democrats fault. Thats not the medias fault. Thats the Republican Partys fault. So there are some who would like to see this in the Rearview Mirror. Theyre trying, but theyre still afraid, but theyre trying. We saw some of them at the white house tonight, trying to find Common Ground on covid relief, and boy do we need that. But like i said, this is a race against time. More than 443,000 americans have died in this pandemic. Millions and millions have lost their jobs. They dont know how theyre going to pay the rent or the mortgage or put food on the table or medical bills. They dont know any of that stuff. When the kids are going to be able to go back to school, when theres going to be normalcy, when theyre going to be able to see their loved ones in other places. And they need help. They need help now. The president has been very clear joe biden, the president. Covid relief is his top priority. So is this the moment to be just as ruthless as some republicans have been . Leader Mitch Mcconnell back in 2017 famously said winners make policy, losers go home. Given that, why shouldnt democrats why shouldnt President Biden be as tactically ruthless as republicans have been in pushing priorities that he champions . Well, i think the president has been clear that he is encouraged by the pace and the rapid pace, i should say, that Speaker Pelosi and senator schumer are moving this package forward. At the same time, as you know, there is time, because this process can take a bit, to make changes as needed. Hmm. Well, seems like republicans are waiting to see if President Biden blinks or if he passes covid relief without gop support. So if he blinks, thats a win because then he doesnt get his agenda across, right . But then if he passes it without them, then theyre going to spin it as a win as well and say, where is the unity and the bipartisanship . Its all such a big game. But smart americans see you. America sees you. Im going to talk to a Top White House adviser about what i just spoke about next and other things. Lets see if we can get an answer. So my question is, what does unity really mean, and does it have to necessarily look like this . Thats next. We have demonstrated in the last year that we can come together on a bipartisan package dealing with the covid crisis. In fact, weve done that not just once or twice. Weve done it five times. And i am hopeful that we can once again pass a sixth bipartisan covid relief package.
