Horrendous that it cannot wait. Impeachment or just it is impeachment. It is impeachment time. Nick payton walsh, Cnn Senior International correspondent and Juan Carlos Lopez also in san juan. Nick, first to you. Whats happening on the ground there right now . Reporter well, you saw that protest up on the main expressway. They got to their hundreds of thousands mark, certainly. Extraordinary numbers. Many of them, despite this at times torrential rain started moving towards the old town of san juan. Not many behind me here, despite the noise theyre making. And actually for the first time in days, we can see the barricades manned by police and down in the distance, fort alayso is. Donald trump, the president of the united states, has spoken out today, and said that he considers the governor to be, quote, terrible. Hes also criticized his key opponent. Just heard from the mayor of san juan saying, quote, shes a horror show. Clearly no obviously listening from washington here. We also heard from those in the crowd who have flown in from washington, Puerto Ricans who live here in their past, how they felt about what they attended today. I voted for him, and i am so disillusioned with how he has managed everything since maria. And now this. And he needs to step down. He just needs to step down. Here i bet there are people who voted for him and are mad. This is a historic moment for the people of puerto rico here in the island and everywhere around the world. Everyone is telling ricky that the game is over. He no longer represents the people of puerto rico. Reporter so the protests really fueled by pretty much anybody with instagram. Ricky martin, various others trying to move the protesters on in substantial number. The rain may well get in their way, possibly. And it depends whether or not tonight passes peacefully, i think, whether it changes over the mind of governor rossello. What happens if he doesnt choose to resign . There is an impeachment investigation under way. The results of that will then inform congress as to whether or not they decide to launch impeachment proceedings. Unclear, though, if that will do the job of getting him out of the governors mansion. Behind me, he says he wants to work to get the confidence of the people back, and he was elected. So he has said he wont be selling for power for reelection, i should say, next year. But still, these protesters want him out now and it depends on it makes an impact on his pretty resolute mindset. Hes made it clear, he does not intend to step down. Juan carlos, what have you been hearing, just on that front . You know, we just heard from a couple of folks that nick spoke with, saying the game is over. Its time for you to go. As nick pointed out, though, its not necessarily that simple. And there is also the question of then whats left behind. Reporter well, so far, he hasnt been paying a lot of attention to protests. We saw him yesterday addressing Puerto Ricans through facebook. He hasnt given interviews, and he did signal he will not run for reelection, that he will not he will not be the head of the party any more. But he didnt have any chance, really, of a reelection after this scandal. Right now its the peers that the governor is trying to buy time. But what we saw on the streets, what we saw today, the styles of the protesters, the message they have, and this comes from all different political groups in puerto rico. They dont want him in the governors mansion. They dont want him running the country. He has time. He can play the political game, and hes doing so. The constitution allows him. But you have to understand, puerto rico has a very particular political situation right now. Its a u. S. Territory. It has its own congress. It has its own constitution. It has its own governor. But its under control by a board, this after a very deep financial crisis. So there is a very deep relationship with washington and the frustration they feel, treated as a colonial entity. Not as an independent entity. They want to be some want to be a state, some independent. This doesnt change things, but governor rossello doesnt want to leave. Nick payton walsh, appreciate it. When we look at the conditions in puerto rico, for so many people, they may have first really woken up to what was happening there in the devastation left behind by hurricane maria. That was only in 2017. Government officials, though, for some time have been accused of corruption. And misusing federal disaster aid. Francis santiago is a journalist who lost her aunt, died in puerto rico in the days immediately following hurricane maria. She joins us now. Part of what youre looking at, too, whats happened in the aftermath of hurricane maria. And a lot of what has happened is also bringing people out into the streets right now. Because they are so fed up on so many levels. What are you finding . Whats the situation today . I think what were seeing today, and what we have been seeing in the last ten days of these historic protests is really a country that is, you know, claiming and, you know, raising their voice as to what happened almost two years ago. You know . Hurricane maria left puerto rico in devastation. And i think a lot of people didnt have the time, didnt have the energy, didnt have the resources, to go out and, you know, voice their frustrations. I think what we saw in the 889page chats was very much, you know, the last straw for a lot of Puerto Ricans. So the chat revealed not only homophobic and sexist messages, but also revealed a lot of details about what happened in the months and years after hurricane maria. So it revealed a lot of details about the crisis. Revealed details about how they hid a lot of stories about the death toll in puerto rico and how they planned to lie about it. So what a lot of Puerto Ricans this isnt just about a chat, its much more than that. And part of what we saw in the chat, not just the information, sexism in a lot of these messages. And that speaks to, in your mind, a much broader issue when it comes to the government in puerto rico and the role of women and how women are seen and treated. For sure. A lot of what we saw on the chat was, you know, this group of men. That were basically talking at about, you know, the mayor of san juan mu. These are just top officials. So you can imagine how that extends to, you know, the rest of the female population in puerto rico. So we also saw the governor and his administration mocking the organization in puerto rico calling out for womens rights. And they actually asked the governor last year to declare a state of emergency, because women were being assassinated by their domestic partners in unprecedented numbers. And the governor in the chat is being seen mocking them and mocking their protests. So i think a lot of women today are taking the streets in a symbolism of you might think that you shut us down, but were here. You know, another person speaking about this was saying that in so many ways, this governor and peoples frustration with him has United People from so many different backgrounds. And with so many different issues that are at the top of their specific list. How do you see that energy, the energy were seeing in the streets here in the pouring rain in san juan today. How do you see that energy being channeled moving forward, especially since as we know, the governor has said hes not stepping down. We have to wait to hear from the legislature about impeachment. There is not a clear answer today that some of those demands are going to be met. Yeah. So yesterday, as we all know, he renounced he resigned from his partys presidency and said he wont be seeking reelection. Thats not enough for a lot of Puerto Ricans protesting today. The impeachment process has begun, and in the legislature, and said he would be welcoming an impeachment process. That could take months, years. And next year, as you all know, we have an election, as well. I think for a lot of Puerto Ricans and what ive been seeing from reporting and talking to other people on the ground, it isnt enough for rosello to step down. I think this has United People in unprecedented numbers, and unprecedented ways that has become more about people who want to kind of rethink how they want the government to be run. So i dont think people will be will stop. Just the pro Statehood Party or governor rosello or members of his organization. You have to think, in puerto rico, we have a bipartisanship, like here in the states. That has run puerto rico since, you know, we became a commonwealth of the united states. So i think a lot of people are fed up by that back and forth. And how much pain and disillusionment it has caused. Certainly not the last time well talk about it. Thank you. Thank you. There are new concerns right now that the u. S. Could actually be inching closer to an allout confrontation with iran. President trump on twitter this morning, blasting claims by tehran that its broken up a cia spy ring, arrested 17 iranians for allegedly spying for the u. S. At the white house, President Trump firing back, saying irans actions are making it tougher to resume negotiations at all. They put their finger up in the air, and this this finger, the thumb. They put their finger up in the air, and they disrespected the united states. They shouldnt have done that. That was a big mistake. One of the best things ive done is terminate that ridiculous deal. If they want to make a deal, its frankly, its getting harder for me to want to make a deal with iran. Because they behave very badly. Theyre saying bad things. And ill tell you, it could go either way. Very easily. Very easily. And im okay either way it goes. Cnn pentagon correspondent, barbara starr, with us now. Barbara, you heard the president saying its getting harder for him to make a deal. Hes glad he pulled the u. S. Out of the iran nuclear agreement. Theres been a lot going on, to put it mildly, in the last few days with iran. At the point where we are now, though, bob baer telling me last hour, he thinks iran is really trying to push the u. S. Closer and closer to war, a war he says the u. S. Is not prepared for. What is the sense, what is the talk at the pentagon . Well, the pentagon has been watching President Trumps remarks, obviously, very closely. And the president has several times said hes not looking for war with iran. So these comments today will be of considerable fresh interest. You know, it could go either way. Whats he really talking about . He has said that iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapons program. So you either are going to negotiate it through diplomacy and negotiate it away, or what would the alternative be . In fact, would it be military force . One of the challenges is in a i dont think anybody is looking for war, right . But in the calculation is if you wanted to use force to make iran give up its nuclear program, you cant really just have that single goal. You are automatically talking about full regime change in iran, and that is really just a prospect that seems incredibly difficult, if nothing else the u. S. Has learned over the last 18 years what regime change can drag it into. Especially in the middle east. So i think its a very difficult proposition to see it way ahead on the president s words today. Also hearing from the president today about afghanistan. I just want to play what he had to say earlier. Were like policemen. Were not fighting a war. If we wanted to fight a war in afghanistan and win it, i could win that war in a week. I just dont want to kill 10 million people. Does that make sense to you . I dont want to kill 10 million people. I have plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win that war, afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth. It would be gone. It would be over in literally ten days. And i dont want to do that i dont want to go that route. So were working with pakistan and others to extricate ourselves. Nor do we want to be policemen. Because basically, were policemen right now. And were not supposed to be policemen. These comments, of course, coming from the oval office today. The president meeting with pakistans Prime Minister today. He says he has plans certainly not the first time we have heard the president say he wants troops out of afghanistan, talking about help from pakistan. Do we have any better sense about what that plan is, barbara . Well, a negotiated settlement with pakistans help, if pakistan could make it work, they could close off that border with afghanistan and really dry up the flow of terrorists coming across into afghanistan. Thats been one of the big problems over the years. Its a very poor sport. Pakistan does not control it well. People go back and forth. And thats to a large extent how these terrorist populations keep coming into afghanistan. As for the president s remarks, that he could, you know, o obliterate afghanistan, but doesnt want to kill 10 million people, lets have common sense here. Military orders have to be legal, moral, ethical and use proportional force. So any prospect of meeting the president s rhetoric is just really not realitybased. He has talked in the past about, you know, a semi obliteration strategy. Today afghanistan, iran, north korea, these are not realistic military strategies to achieve military goals. Barbara starr, always appreciate it. Thank you. Sure. Up next, President Trump continuing his attacks on four democratic congresswomen. Today saying theyre not very smart.

The president defending his racist tweets aimed at four democratic congresswomen for more than a week now and even saying more, calling them unamerican, saying theyre bad. Today the president was asked again about those comments, and specifically about racial tensions. Take a listen. Congresswomen, what they have said about israel, what they have said about our country, when they talk about disgusting people, when they talk the way they talk, when the one mentioned that brown people should speak for brown people. And muslim people should speak for muslim people. And you hear all of this. Its not what our country is all about. No, i think theyre very bad for our country. I think theyre very bad for the democrat party. I think you see that, and theyre pulling the democrats way left. Nobody knows how to handle them. I feel theyre easy to handle.
