Heard me. Dont sleep on the fear its real. We have a problem with race in the country. Hold on. Its similar a similar thing. I was watching trevor noah last night. Frustration doesnt make you racist. It makes you frustrated. Susceptible. It doesnt make you scream send her back. Or say racist things because you are frustrated or upset. It depends. You have been frustrated and upset. I know. Have you ever said racist things because of it . I have a unique upbringing. I was born and raised in place full of diversity. And all kinds of shades. So is the president. Youre damn right he was. From blocks away from where i am. Just saying. He knows better. Than what hes selling to the people. Thats why i put it on him. You can say two things at once. Racism is a problem in the country but theyre not racist. Im saying theres a broad group hes trying to tap into with the fear. Its potent. Its working. Ill give you that. The internal polling for the Democratic Party shows that it is working for number one i think karen finny had a good point last night. People dont want to they figure if they admit he is racist, then thats admitting they are racist. Because they support him. Right. They would much rather say well instead of being racist, i dont why dont you speak english. Two different things. They want him to win because they benefit from it. They will ignore what hes selling. Thats a problem. In my estimation. Are there enough racist and hateful people in the country for him to win. I say no. But you combine those people with an unusual sense of loyalty and motivation. With people who are fearful and believe that he is the best schans at disruption and improvement. And the democrats playing with extremes on policy and making themselves susceptible to getting hit with being socialist. You have a very potent combination that can make it hard to take him out. What happens if someone comes in and says all those people you have to go back to ireland and germany. Go back to sweden. Go back to russia. They start telling all of the people in the crowd where they came from. Go back to the terrible places where you are from. Arent we supposed to be the shining light the beacon on the hill . We are the showing the way is up. Heres the problem. The paradox. Each wave has gone through this. It doesnt stop them from doing it to the next one. Everyone wants to shut the door behind them. They made it through. Then who came. They got beat down by the same groups. And then what happened. You have new waves and what did we do. I grew up in that. So many italians, insulation and ignorance. They held bigoted views. Every weave goes through it. It doesnt stop them from being better than that. Thats why were vulnerable. I want people to see it for what it is. Thats what this election will be about. Its really, really sad to watch. A lot of people are saying i cannot believe this is where we are. But, yet we are. Were here. What do we do about it. And its working for him. Dangerous. Im never more dangerous than when im hurt. This is what i think though, for the Democratic Party. Either they play into this. By continuing to go down this thing with the four women, with nancy pelosi. And all that. Or they realize that theyre going to win on policy. On policy. And instead of on issues like racism. Very important issue dont get me wrong. Im African American. Man in this country. But, i think those women have to realize they must be strategic. And their voices are very important. What theyre saying in many levels is important. As my mentor told me, all the time, cool your jets. This is when i was a correspondent. Cool your jets. Youre going up against management. Wait until you get there. Once youre in the seat, here i am. My butt is in the seat now. You can say whatever you want. Because you have earned the right. Be strategic until you get to the place. They will slap all kind of labels on you. About like systemic. Strategy. Read the room. Nowhere you are in the moment. If you think this person in the white house is an exten shl threat. You should read the room, know where you are. If you get when is if you get him out of the white house. Then do your stuff. They will only win we want a fair fight. They will only win if they offer something better. Healthcare, yes. Its a metaphor issue. Its about security. They have to offer. You dont get health care. If you have the wrong person in the office. Thats right. The message and the messenger have to come together only light can drive out dark. Okay. Lots to talk about. I have to run. My producer is like youre killing us. Your butt is in the chair. Its a big chair. Good one. Not as big as yours. This is cnn tonight im don lemon. Serious stuff to talk about. Heres at it again. The president at his Campaign Rally in North Carolina tonight slamming four congresswomen of color. Railing against each one of them by name and by the way that was scripted in the teleprompter. Then doubling down on his love it or leave it refrain. So these congresswomen, their comments are helping to fuel the rise of a dangerous hard left. Thats okay. Well win this election like nobodys ever seen before. Tonight i have a suggestion for the hate filled extremist. Who are constantly trying to tear our country down. If they dont like it, let them leave. Well, that as the president is trying to convince you that his go back to where you came from take on the women who call themselves a squad. That it isnt racist. It is. It is. And thats not all it is. It is a blatant, calculated, strategy. Pay close attention. Sources are telling cnn the president thinks the attacks are a winner. Politically. He plans to keep it up. He said so himself. As he was leaving the white house today. I do think im winning the political fight. By a lot. I think that they are not espousing the views of the country. The four congresswomen. If thats not clear enough. Theres this. Ill spell it out. So stay with me. The president tweeting earlier that trump numbers i have no idea why its in quotes. Have gone up by 4 points to 50 . Thank you to the vicious young socialist congresswomen. America will never buy your act. There it is there. He told you exactly what this is all about. When i said you read the room. Be strategic. This is about 2020. And then theres this. Tweeting that not at all subtle message, america one squad under god. Not so, get it . His son flying the flag too. Telling fox news this. 95 of this country is behind him in this message. People love this nation. Okay, 95 . Behind the president. Not even close. This is what the polling is showing. 43 approved of how the president is handling his job. And the trump critic turned defender. Senator Lindsey Graham. Who according to to a reporter said quote i really do believe if youre a somalia refugee who likes trump he wont say go back to somalia. Racist says it because youre somalian or muslim or whatever. Mar narcissism than anything else. Later saying i believe if you support him fst different than if you dont. Its not about being from somalia. Its whether you support him or not. Heres the thing. You cant sweep the president s racist comments under the rug for making excuses for what he said it. Because hes frustrated or he didnt support you cant make an excuse for something racist. This is why he said it. He said it. What he said is racist. Lindsey graham will try to tell you otherwise. 2015 Lindsey Graham something is differently. Hes a race baiting, religious bigot. Where is that Lindsey Graham . The president couldnt be happier about how the racist attacks are playing with support ers. All of this presents this is what we were talking about. All of this presents a very big problem for nancy pelosi. The speaker of the house and her party. The president is clearly trying to cast this broader debate as choice between him and progressive members. This fight has dominated the conversation. You have had your resolution. The democrats are rallying behind the members. Are you concerned the president is goading you . With all due respect, lets not waste time on that. Were not having him set the agenda. Thats exactly the problem for the speaker. The more the president doubles down on attacks the more democrats fight back. The more attention is taken away fl their agenda. One democratic lawmaker saying members in a closed door meeting today heard a report on internal polling. Showing that their best argument against this president is that he is ineffective. And standing in the way of progress on issues like jobs and infrastructure. That polling showed that what doesnt work for them is being pulled in. Being drawn into fights with the president. Dammed if they do, dammed if they dont. Strategic. Like i said last night, this is about taking a stand against the racism of the president of the United States. Against comments like why dont they go back and help fix the broken and crime infested places from which they came. Make no mistake. That is racism. Dont fall for the old oakky doek. Those words dont come out of your mouth or tweets if its not in your heart. Its also cynical. Hate to play politics. We have seen it before. Theres no better example than the birther lie the president used from the beginning of his career. That obama was not born in the country. I want him to show his birth certificate. Theres something on that birth certificate he doesnt like. People have birth certificates. He doesnt have one. He may have one. But theres something on that maybe religion. Maybe hes muslim. I dont know. If he wasnt born tht country which is a real possibility. Im saying its a real possibility. He is pulled one of the great cons in history of politics. That was 2011. When someone shows you who they are weeks later he release his birth certificate. Did that stop trump . A lot of people didnt think it was authentic. How can you say that . Many people dont think it was authentic. His mother was not in the hospital. There are many other things that came out. And frankly if you would report it accurately. You would get better ratings. Finally. September 2016 trump said this. President barack obama. Was born in the United States. Period. Yet he reportedly clings to the birther lie today. Brace yourself. Youll hear more disgusting garbage. If you think hes learned his lesson. He did. The lesson of 2016. When hate and divisiveness helped him win the white house. It worked in 2016. But its fails in 2018. Lets not forget that utterly racist Divisive Campaign ad right before the midterm. Stoking fear of immigrants with images of crowds of people and unknown locations. Who are never identified. It didnt work last year. When a blue wave of democrats took control of the house. It didnt work then. It wasnt on the ballot specifically. The question is, will it happen in 2020. Will it work . President stirred up the crowd tonight with the attack on congresswoman omar. And chanted send her back. Could the attacks turn dangerous . Well dig into it. Next. Adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. So, can it help us fall asleep faster . Yes, by gently warming your feet. But can it help keep me asleep .

So, you never have to talk about it. Unless youre their spokesperson. Esurance. Its surprisingly painless. President Trump Holding a Campaign Rally tonight in North Carolina. His first since officially kicking off his reelection last month. Labeling democrats and doubling down on had his attacks on the four congresswomen of color. Saying if they dont like the country they should leave it. Lets discuss now. The author of shes the under fire reporting from the front line of the trump white house. She can be the ryan too of course. I am a ryan. Frank, President Trump is going all in on attacking the four congresswomen. Watch and well discuss. When you see the four congresswomen, isnt that lovely. Representative omar, representative tlaib. Representative alexandria ocasiocortez. Representati representative pressly. I have a suggestion for the hate filled extremist. Who are constantly trying to tear our country down. They never have anything good to see. If they dont like it let them leave. They dont love our country. I think this some cases they hate our country. Theyre so angry. Are the attacks dangerous . Yeah. Its funny as i listen to him do that earlier i thought i was afraid for the four women. Hes encouraging people to hate them. Hes got the best security in the world. They dont. They dont. You think he cares . Forget about just the four women. The attacks are dangerous for the country. What hes doing is deciding to be as divisive adds possible and create ugly. And because he thinks thats the atmosphere if in which he thrives and will win. He doesnt care. Hell take a torch to it all. Hes happy to be the king of ashes. His slogan should be burn, baby burn. Thats what hes doing. I almost hate playing these sound bites. Theyre so ugly. I cant believe how ugly its gotten. I hope the American People sees it for what it is. Its deliberate. Its not spontaneous. It was on a teleprompter. He is trying to make the four congresswomen his opponents. He doesnt want to run against the Democratic Party. He wants them to be the face of the party. And define the party. As you were discussing the Democratic Party is in a pickle. The only right and moral thing to do is say we standby the four women. Dont attack them. They cant be defined by them. Nancy pelosi is like we dont want to define our our strategy and policy, our agenda. And keeps getting asked and drawn back in. Every time someone says something about the women. Or one of the congresswomen says something. She has to be firmer about that. We have to help her. Its not just the democratic leadership that cant move on. We keep asking them to respond. So we need everyone here needs to stop giving donald trump every drop of attention he seeks. He get it is and we have the conversation and not another one. And he wins. As the polling shows from the democrats. Instead of policy. Everyone is talking about wedge issues. April, he began by attacking congresswoman omar. The crowd responded by booing and this. Omar has a history of launching vicious antisemitic screens. Send her back so, we started out by talking about the president s tweets were racist this week. We started that. Now the the crowd is chanting send her back. What the hell . This is america. In 2019. The trump america. It is a sad day. When you have an elected member of congress or four elected members of congress who are black and brown women. Who are speaking their truth. And about issues that the president doesnt want them to talk against. Meaning immigration. And for him to target them for omar, shes been under fire by the president in her words have caused controversy. And have been in headlines. She apologized. This president realizes and understands that there is a sentiment against her. He is playing on that. Hes playing on her race and her gender and on the fact that she is a woman who came from africa. And shes a citizen here now. Its ugly and with the big concern is in the middle of this, everyone as she tweets a poem and still i rise. Theres still a concern about her safety. She has apologized for her comments. There was a resolution against her comments. But she now is trying to figure how to protect herself. And her family. And shes been under watch with security for awhile. Now its ramped back up. Its not just her. Its the three others as well. Yeah. Its dangerous for beyond just the four women. Which we hope they are safe. Also its dangerous for america. I have to say president falsely accused congresswoman omar of praising al qaeda. Watch this. Omar left that americans speak of al qaeda. In a menacing tone and remark that you dont say america with this intensity. You say al qaeda. It makes you proud. Al qaeda makes you proud. You dont speak that way about america. Again, this is false. This is false. I want to be as clear as possible about this. This one of the most egregious false claims. Omar did not praise al qaeda. She didnt say they make her proud or theyre great or wonderful. This is what happened. She did a 2013 interview on a station. Where lt host of the show on middle east issues was using about why americans used arabic words for things like al qaeda and rather than english tran translation would be less scary. She agreed with this and chuckling said she had a professor in college who would say al qaeda and tense up and wouldnt tense up. With the same intensity about america or england. There are things to criticize. Saying she shouldnt laugh when talking about peoples reactions to al qaeda. People saying she shouldnt suggest theres equal between al qaeda and england. To say she praised them it couldnt be further from the truth. We have to hold the thought. Say it again. Ill get you in. Well talk about where the rubber meets the road for the democrats and what the internal polling is showing. I have one kid in each branch of the military. When i have a child deployed, having a Reliable Network means everything. vo the network more people rely on, gives you more. Like a special price for military families and big savings when you switch. Thats verizon. Woman 1 this is my body of proof. Man 1 proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. Man
