Thats easy. My father told me once any jackass can kick down a barn, it takes a good man or woman to build one. Whats the plan to improve us, make our democracy stronger, make us better . What does maga mean after all . Where pefs the great in all this hate . Thank you for watching. Cnn tonight with laura coats, the upgrade starts right now. What a compelling case, chris, you just made. It reminds me of that old phrase history doesnt always repeat but sometimes it rhymes. You described some people acting against their own selfinterests so somebody else could be beneath them. We heard about this notion of how we always want to pit people against each other to make sure someone is always less powerful, and were not learning this lesson yet. Next time im going to have to call you first. Laura coats, i look forward to the show. Thank you. This is cnn tonight. The next american chinese original is here. Im laura coats in for don lemon new sichuan hot chicken. Tonight. For a heart breaking limited time only at panda express. And a new embarrassment for the white house and President Trump. And by the way another example of the failure of the white house vetting process. Congressman john radcliffe, a texas republican who the president chose just a few days ago to be the next director of national intelligence. Well, he was forced to withdraw his name from consideration even before he was officially nominated. Sources telling cnn trump was privately voicing concerns its been just over five about whether radcliffe would be confirmed and with good reason. Not only were Senate Democrats years. Five years since eric garners lining up to oppose his death. Five years since he was pulled to the ground by a police nomination but one Republican Senate source told cnn there was officer. Five years since he gasped for no support for radcliffe on their side of the aisle either. Air. There were concerns about his five years since these final lack of National Security experience and questions about whether hed exaggerated his moments. Lev me alone. Professional background. I told you the last time, please but incredibly President Trump leave me alone. Ignored those concerns at least publicly. Instead blaming radcliffes dont touch withdrawal on his target, the media. And stories that were being reported. I said you want to go through this for two or three months or would you want me to maybe do Something Else . And he thought about it. Put your hands behind your i said its going to be rough. Back. I could see exactly where the i cant breathe. President is going. We hadnt started the process i cant breathe. I cant breathe. But i thought its easier before we start. Every time i see that video but i read things that were just and see a human being on the unfair. Unfair or inaccurate or true. Ground like that, he said i President Trumps denying that cant breathe 11 times. Theres an issue with the white house vetting process. But a source tells cnn that 11 times. Today the first step toward radcliffe was not properly justice for the Garner Family vetted to lead national and in an nypd Court Hearing a intelligence and once the official flat out says theres judge recommended officer daniel no excuse for this mess up, i want to look at the big picture tonight with sarah westwood, pentiloe should be fired. Shes accused of using a choke ryan lizza and max boot, whos hold on mr. Garner, a move the author of the corrosion of conservative, why i left the prohibited by department guidelines. Through his attorney he right. Im so glad youre each here. Maintained today not only did he sarah, ill start with you. Do nothing wrong, he acted the this is probably the most way he was taught to act. Important position there is in National Security. So what are you learning about hes been on desk duty since how this nomination really went up in flames . Garners death. But effective today hes well, laura, sources tell cnn suspended. New york citys police union even though President Trump was enthusiastically continuing to president is calling todays back ratcliffe this week amid decision ludicrous. That steady drum beat of today is one of the saddest concerns he was privately and most damaging days in the expressing concerns about the ability to confirm ratcliffe history of new york city and the new York City Police department. Im sorry to say that we have to tell our Police Officers take it there had been questions about a step slower, make sure were his experience, his ability to be independent, his partisan thinking, make sure youre background and even concerns making decisions in seven about him potentially embellishing his record. Seconds. There had been virtually no because you wont get backing. Vetting done of ratcliffe. Your sorry to say you have to sources say President Trump tell a Police Officer to think pulled the trigger of ratcliffe and to slow down and make a good after watching his performance at the mueller hearings last decision . That is whats ludicrous here . Week. Thats a nomination youll well remember that wept up in flames well, eric garner joined cnns because there was no vetting of brook baldwin earlier today. Jackson. And so republican senators, even here are their words. Allies of President Trump had been contacting the white house eric garner is gone. I can never get my father back. Expressing those worries that he would have a definitely road to do us a favor as a family and confirmation. Democrats, too, had vowed to make this right. Block his nomination, laura, not justice for eric garner would be in no small part because of firing pentiloe standing with those worries about him bringing the family who suffered for the partisanship into the intelligence community. Past five years. Max, as sarah mentioned staying with the children and grandchildren of eric garner who ratcliffe is accused of have been suffering for the past five years. Fabricating parts of his resume. Make the right decision and fire this officer. Well, a decision was made of course we have seen the president auditioning people before and theyre playing up to just last month remember when the Justice Department after him some way or having that years of back and forth in the audience of one. How do you think this went so civils right division at the doj wrong, max . Is it really about the vetting and the u. S. Attorneys office of or was Something Else in play . New york, they announced they i think what it really would not be pursuing federal demonstrates, laura, is that President Trump shows an charges against pentile. Outrageous lack of interest in a case that stretched not one actually doing his job. But two appointed attorneys general the final decision was the director of national actually reached by president intelligence was a post that was created after 9 11 to prevent trumps attorney general william another attack on the american barr. The family did file a wrongful homeland. This is one of the most important jobs in the u. S. Death lawsuit with the city of government. But trump gave less attention new york and they reached about and less foresight to choosing a a 9. 5 million settlement. Nominee than he would to choosing an interior decorator meanwhile the officer on desk duty remained on the nypd for maralago. He just kind of did it on the payroll. But this case is bigger than one spurofthemoment last sunday. Tragic incident. It galvanized a movement. Politico reported he called when the news came out that a richard burr the chairman of the grand jury would not indict the officer just five months after Senate Intelligence committee garner died, it triggered and what do you think about ratcliffe, let me get back to massive protests against new you, and an hour later trump york city. Tweets it out hes nominating ratcliffe. And now youre seeing the disaster that occurred. I cant breathe theres a good reason, laura, i cant breathe that chant, the i cant why in the past president s typically did their vetting breathe, it became a rallying before announcing a nominee not cry for the black lives matter after to avoid these kind afrs movement all across this country at this weeks cnn democratic debates activists called on new york city mayor and 2020 democratic hopeful bill de blasio to take action. And to make sure its a country that puts working people catc catc first. Thank you, mayor de blasio. Catastrophes. Listen to what the president said today about his vetting senator michael bennett. Process. You vet for me. I like when you vet. The vetting process for the white house is very good, but youre hearing them say fire youre part of the vetting process, you know . I give out a name to the press and they vet for me. Pentiloe. Did he hear it . We save a lot of money that way. He confirmed he heard those protesters loud and clear at the ryan, we both have kids. Its kind of like when your kid debate saying today say says to you, i could tell do you agree that he should you the answer but why dont you be fired . Again, what im talking about give me the answer instead . Today is a fair and impartial knowing they havent done the work here. Process has occurred. Ryan, let the media do the work thats all i have to say. And save money, what . Thats all you have to say . He treats this process so thats surprising given at the debate you demanded a straight cavalierly. Answer from other candidates look, there have been white when they were asked direct houses that sometimes leak name tuesday the press to see what questions. Hows that considered your comes back, but trump just answer just now a straight relishes in making this process completely public and frankly just doesnt care if it ends up answer . And by the way he still hasnt said he did humiliating the people who are in contention for these jobs. Something wrong, so de blasio, so what does that what does youre talking in circles. That tell you if you are someone thats how i feel about it. Who might at this point want to a judge has said youve done serve in his government . Something wrong. It tells you, one, that youre you should be saying i agree with that judge and he needs to be fired. Going to be, you know, on your thats what i would like to hear for de blasio to say. Own. So mr. Mayor, why wont you and at the first hint of trouble youre going to be dropped by make a call or at least acknowledge that aspect of it . The president and that hell whats left in this long drawn treat this essentially like a out process where youre sitting game show. He doesnt treat the process idly on the side lines . Seriously at all. And as for mr. President trump, look, if the senate liked this guy, Mitch Mcconnell will fight he also asked about the case today. Well, its in a process right for someone who helikes and now. I know the case very well. Thinks is good. There have been nominees that its a very sad situation. Have had serious issues that really its heart breaking, but Senate Republicans push through thats in a process right now so anyway because for ideological im not going to get involved in the process. Reasons. But ratcliffe had no support as you know, theyre going to be among Senate Republicans. Making a final decision i guess forget obviously democrats, there were no democrats pushing this guy. Over the next ten days. So i wont interfere with the and thats the real reason that he was thrown overboard at the process. Forgive me while i blink. First hint of trouble. You know, he exaggerated his this president says he wont resume. Hed his resume on this interfere with an investigative case that dealt with process. Well, this is coming from the undocumented immigrants in president who told Police Officers back in 2017 dont be poultry. Look, if republicans think he was a good nominee they would have glossed over that and too nice when making arrests. Pushed this guy through. But he say not qualified for the the white house wrote it off as a joke at the time. Job in the eyes of most republican senators. Remember that . When the president said this is max, this is not the first sad situation, heart breaking, time weve heard about this. Theres a growing list of high you have to ask is he talking profile picks that actually had about mr. Eric garner, the man their names pulled. Who is no longer alive and told you he couldnt breathe 11 including Patrick Shanahan as defense secretary. Weve long talked about a times . Or is it the law and order vetting problem here, but why president talking about officer isnt the administration look at this screen, this list of people forced to withdraw, why pantileo. Is the administration not now the question fall tuesday learning from their mistakes . Theyre obviously aware of them. The nypd commissioner. We need to ask ourselves a few well, they cant have any kind of normal policy process or questions. If eric garner were white, would vetting process, laura, because he still be alive today . Donald trump is so averse to would the police maybe have anything that smacks of regular interacted with him a little bit order. I mean, whatever hes run, and differently . Our society continues to deal for most of his life he was with institutional racism and running the Trump Organization which was a very small family implicit and explicit bias. Run company. Hes run it kind of by the seat i believe the threats given to of his pants, just kind of waking up one morning and saying officer pantile is only the this is what im going to do is embodiment of that and only at the expense of an regimented. Hes gotten rid of anybody whos africanamericans life, the expense of a human beings life. Tried to impose any order on remember eric garner unarmed was him. Which is something for example h. R. Mcmaster, the former allegedly selling loose cigarettes outside of a Beauty Supply store before he was National Security advisor tried to do and as a result they had a confronted by the officer. Falling out. There was no allegation of a it doesnt matter how long trump Violent Crime. Stays in office. No one was in danger. No one was in harms way. It will always be amateur hour well, i take that back. Because he will not learn he will not change his ways, he except for the man who told you will not professionalize. He will not do what previous 11 times that he could not president s did. And for him kind of breaking breathe. So, again, in that situation china and destroying things is whats wrong with taking things a step slower to deescalate part of the fun of things and unfortunately the rest of us have to pay it cost for that. What was not a Violent Crime or ratcliffe is obviously out occurrence . Now. And the police union has the so who is trump looking to nominate now as dni . Audacity to tell an officer to take it a step slower . Take it a step slower. We heard a couple of names. Well, heres what slow looks he has a background in the like. Slowly being deprived of oxygen intelligence community. He served in the cia. To the brain, slow is five years also the current ambassador to the netherlands so hes already to just suspend an officer who been through a Senate Confirmation process. Theyre thinking he could could not be bothered to take a perhaps be a bit of an easier second to think, to slow down lift for the senate to confirm. He was also the chairman of the and acknowledge that a human house intelligence committee, so again more of an intelligence being, a father, a son, a man background than john ratcliffe, was dying in an unauthoized but really theres no clear list of front runners for this choke hold. Position. Ratcliffe was a surprise pick as and now the clock begins again. We wait for the new york city weve already discussed, but President Trump has been wanting Police Commissioner james oneil to replace dni coats for months to decide the officers now. Dating back to january, february, he talked about employment fate. Wanting to see a change. Butric garner and his for him to not have a nominee family, that fate was decided locked and loaded to go and not five years ago. Really considering sue gordon, and as for justice, not just the number two, although he praised her earlier today, thats really per plexing at the pantile who has been suspended, we are all still in suspense. Well be right back. White house. Ellent. And some of the democratic they really appreciate the military family candidates for president , and it really shows. Theyre trying to position with all that usaa offers themselves by criticizing the why go with anybody else .
