Made contact with his wife. She says he called her and said hes a little sad but doing okay. Hes being held in a correctional facility. He also said he may appear before a judge on friday or saturday. The news continues. I want to turn things over to don lemon and cnn tonight. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. And weve got to talk about what we heard from the president of the United States today. Because lets be clear, this is not politics as usual. This is not normal. This is the president going off the rails during an official taxpayerfunded event. A speech supposed to be about energy policy. But quickly turned into a rambling campaign speech. Joking about calling off the 2020 election. Have they ever called off an election before . Just said look, lets go, four more years. Yeah. Then you want to really drive them crazy . Go to hashtag third term, hashtag fourth term. Youll drive them totally crazy. Joking doesnt make it okay for a president to say lets call off the election. Theres nothing funny about that. Its also not okay. Not normal for a president to use an official speech to attack his political rivals. I dont know whos going to win. But well have to hit pocahontas very hard again if she does win. But shes staging a little bit of a comeback. What a group. Pocahontas and sleepy joe. It is not okay for a president to attack his predecessor for of all things a book deal. This thing is costing me a fortune being president. Lawyers because every day they sue me for something. These are the most litigious people. Its probably costing me from three to five billion for the privilege of being and i couldnt care less. I dont care. Nobody looks at obama getting 60 million for a book. Thats okay. Even though nobody in history ever got that much money for a book. Obama got 60 million. This president cannot get over barack obama. He just cant quit him. He sure seems to be steamed about Barack Obamas book deal. And you know why . You know why barack obama and Michelle Obama got that big joint book deal . Because that many people wanted to read what they had to say. Millions of people. Maybe its sour grapes from the man who claims he wrote the art of the deal. In fact we know he actually had a ghost writer. And theres no evidence that the presidency is costing him anything like 3 to 5 billion. In fact, we know he is making money from some of his properties including the Trump International hotel, which is just five minutes away from the white house. All of that in the president s speech today. None of that is normal. Neither is this. Arguing that African Americans should vote for him because, his words by the way, they have the worst crime rates, the worst education, the worst everything. Remember when i was running i was saying well do this and create jobs. Everyone, you know, big yawn. Lets give him a shot. What do we have to lose, right . I said that with African Americans. They had the worst crime rates, the worst education, the worst everything. They had like ten things im reading it off a list. I looked, i said what the hell do you have to lose . Now the fact is, remember, facts first here on the show. That argument is not exactly resonating with africanamerican voters. In a new fox news poll last mott president had just a 22 Approval Rating and a 75 disApproval Rating with black voters. All this in a speech that was supposed to be about energy policy. You the president did have a few things to say about his least favorite kind of energy, windmills. And when the wind stops blowing, it doesnt make any difference, does it . Id like those big windmills that destroy everybodys property values, kill all the birds. Someday the environmentalists are going to tell us whats going on with that. And then all of a sudden it stops, the wind, and the televisions go off. And your wives and husbands say darling, i want to watch donald trump on television tonight. But the winds stopped blowing and i cant watch. Theres no electricity in the house, darling. You probably remember that donald trump battled scottish officials over a plan to build a wind farm inside his golf resort in aberdeen and he has been complaining about wind power ever since. Youd be doing wind. Windmills. In times of war. You can blow up those windmills. They fall down real quick. You can blow up the windmills. You know, the windmills. Boom, boom, boom. Thats the end of that one. If the birds dont kill it first. The environmentalists, we like windmills. What about the thousands of birds theyre kaling . Just like a killing field of birds. If you have a windmill near your house congratulations, your house just went down 75 in value. Try going to the bottom of a windmill someday. Its not a pretty picture. When the wind doesnt blow they tend not to do too well. If it doesnt blow you can forget about television for that night. Dashlgs is the wind blowing today . Id like to watch television, darling. And they say the noise causes canc cancer. You tell me that one. Rrrerr, rrerr. The president. Need i say the noise does not cause cancer. The American Cancer Society says so. None of this is normal. The president also made sure he got in some digs today against his former Top Communications aide who not at all coincidentally is saying the gop should replace trump at the top of the ticket. Anthony didnt support me at the beginning. He was with somebody else and then he went to somebody else. And he only supported me after it was a foregone conclusion i was going to win. Im not a fan of anthony. I havent been for a long time. I think anthony is really somebody that very much out of control. And he doesnt have what it takes. Yet he made him his communications director. Im going to talk to Anthony Scaramucci in just a few minutes. So stay tuned for that. But in the midst of all this heres what the president is not doing. Hes not doing anything. Not doing anything. Anything substantive about guns. Less than two weeks after 31 people were killed in Mass Shootings in el paso and dayton. A source tells us that the first daughter ivanka trump is talking with lawmakers behind the scenes. And you know how that kind of thing tends to work out. Let me explain to you. Remember the Paris Climate Accord . Remember her reported displeasure with the send her back chant . Remember when she tried to get her father to stop his family separation policy at the border . You remember how all of that worked out. But i digress. The president claims republicans support him on strengthening background checks. Theres no evidence of any kind of aggressive arm twisting campaign by the president to get a specific piece of legislation. Heres what he is doing. Pushing an immigration policy that would make the statute of liberty hang her head in shame. Theres the poem. You remember it. Give me your tired your poor, your huddle masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these the homeless tempesttost to me, i lift my lamp beside the golden door. I said this president S Immigration policy is so cruel it would make lady liberty hang her head in shame. But it seems there is no room for shame in thiS Administration. Just listen to ken cuccinelli, the man at the top of citizenship and immigration services, rewriting this poem, the one people around the world think of when they think about america. Give me your tired and poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge. He is literally rewriting what this nation stands for. What its stood for until now, anyway. And attempting to defend himself to erin burnett tonight. Watch. Well, of course that poem was referring back to people coming from europe where they had classbased societies, where people were considered retched if they werent in the right class. It was written one year after the First Federal public charge rule was written. Whatever happened to the land of opportunity . The land that welcomes those huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Welcomes them without asking whether they can pay their way . But theres more from the nations top immigration official. Ken cuccinelli is also threatening more i. C. E. Raids. You can expect to see more of that as part of the message thiS Administration were going to enforce the law. More raids. Like the ones last week in mississippi. That led to 700 people being arrested. Including the father of 11yearold magdalena. She was born here. Like her siblings. A child sobbing, begging for her father to come home. I need my dad. My dad didnt do nothing. Hes not a criminal. After days with no word, that little girls father finally had a brief phone call with his family today. But they fear hes going to be deported. His wife told cnn he came here to work. It is out of necessity. Yet the president says this. Our taxpayers paying for people to come into the country and immediately go onto welfare and various other things. So i think were doing it right. Well, there have been other president s who saw all of this very differently. President s who believed in the american dream. In americas promise to people around the world. Listen to president ronald reagan. Ive spoken of the shining city all my political life. In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, god blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with freeports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. Doors open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. Wise words. The president would do well to listen to them. In his new campaign ad democratic candidate Julian Castro has a message to President Trump and hes putting that ad someplace where the president is he will pretty sure to see it. There he is, Julian Castro. Im going to talk about it with him next. Hey, who are you . Oh, hey jeff, im a car thief. What . im here to steal your car because, well, thats my job. What . What . .

And be better protected from mayhem. Like me. Billions of problems. Morning breath . Garlic breath . Stinky breath . Theres a therabreath for you.

Iphone ten r . Lets go for a limited time, come to tmobile and for each iphone ten r you get, get a second one on us. One 2020 democratic candidate has a novel way of taking President Trump to task for his racist language. That candidate joins me now. He is Julian Castro. Hes a former secretary of housing and urban development under president barack obama. Secretary castro, good to see you. Thank you so much. I want you have this new ad out. Good to be with you. Absolutely. You have this new ad. In it you speak directly to President Trump. Watch. You urged american congresswomen to go back to where they came from. You called immigrants rapists. As we saw in el paso, americans were killed because you stoked the fire of racists. Innocent people were shot down because they look different from you. Because they look like me. They look like my family. So secretary, your campaign purchased local air time so that what we just saw will play on fox news tomorrow during fox friends, specifically in bedminster, new jersey where trump is on vacation. Why are you targeting the ad to the president directly . He needs to hear it, don. You know, what i said in that ad was his words have consequences. We know he stirred up the passion of people like the shooter that went to el paso and killed 22 people. Because he said he was hunting hispanics. And this is the kind of america that were living in right now. So, we want to deliver the message to the president. But just as importantly we want to remind the American People it doesnt have to be like this. We can have an america where we can bring the country together, we can stop scapegoating immigrants or anybody else and recognize that we can be a stronger and more prosperous nation if we do what we have traditionally done in the United States, which is welcome people from around the world and to do it in a way that doesnt just allow people who are already well off, wealthy, to come in. The president has been using racist and racially charged language as a campaign tool. What makes you think hell listen to you and stop doing it . You know how the president is. First of all, he watches fox friends every morning. So we know that hell be watching. And i think that he listens to those things that you put directly on his radar screen. And im challenging him with this ad to recognize that he has to be more responsible as the leader of our country. Do i believe hes going to do that . Im not holding my breath. But i do believe that there are a bunch of people out there that have had enough. I say at the end of the ad ya lasta, which in spanish basically means enough. I have heard that over and over during the last ten days. Since the shooting in el paso. People have had enough of the president s divisive rhetoric. Of him stirring up the passions of these racists. And we have an election thats coming up. I believe we need new leadership. I can offer that lardsheadershit brings the country together instead of tearing it apart. You heard ken cuccinelli, the acting director of citizenship and immigration services. He suggested that the words on the statue of liberty should be updated. Tired and poor who can stand on their own two feet and not become a public charge. What do you think of that, secretary castro . It reads like a headline from the onion. My grandmother for instance came over here 1922, when she was 7 years old as an orphan because her parents had passed away. Had hardly anything. But just two generations later one of her grandsons, my brother, joaquin, is a member of the United States congress. The other one, me, served in the president S Administration and is running for president of the United States. Whether people came here from europe or from asia or latin america, anywhere, wherever they came from, people have worked hard, started off with nothing, and in this country have made better for themselves and for their family members. Thats what built up the great country we have today. I dont understand what in the world thiS Administration thinks theyre doing believing that we should only let in people who are already well off. Thats now how we built the america we have today. Earlier tonight cuccinelli defended his statement with erin burnett saying he was just answering a question and that the left was twisting his words. But is there any other way to interpret what he said . I dont think so. This is what these guys do. They throw things like this out which is red meat for the base of people who want to create a whiter nation. And then when you challenge them on it, they try and create some plausible deniability. That hey, thats not really what we meant or come on, why are you interpreting it that way . You know, fool me once shame on you. Fool me a thousand times, no way. Look, shame on them for trying to push this racist agenda. And worse, enacting policy like they did yesterday that discourages even legal immigrants from becoming citizens. Theyre clearly trying to establish a whiter nation. Thats his agenda. Hes shown that on so many occasions and gotten people like cuccinelli to do his dirty work. In 2020, people who believe that are diversity is our strength. That we can have an america where people of different backgrounds live well together and work well together and create a greater nation. I believe that people will come out and replace the president. Secretary castro, thank you for your time. Youre making me miss my hometown in the south with that Freight Train going by. I used to hear that every night and fall asleep to it. On cue. I finally have my name in lights. I do. I like the sign behind you as well. Thank you. Tonight secretary castro. Here on cnn it should say there. Thank you, sir, i appreciate it. Good to see you.
