CNNW Cuomo Prime Time May 31, 2019

Tonight, you will have a 5 tariff per month on all goods entering the United States unless you start getting after illegal immigration to the white houses satisfaction. Okay . And remember he vows a number of hike equal to the initial 5 each month. This is heavy stuff. A dramatic escalation. The question is, whats the sell . Why is this good for us and not bad for us as consumers . We have his new 2020 Senior Campaign adviser here tonight kimberly guilfoyle. Good to have you. Glad to be here. Congratulations on the new gig. No pressure. Help me understand this. What is the concern with tariffs . We know this that they get passed on. The importer to the consumer so you wind up hitting us to punish them. When you think about it the president campaigned very heavily on this in terms of the Immigration Crisis and people have generally agreed this is an intractable problem but it really has reached a crisis point. You even have the New York Times saying we have a crisis at the southern border. Why wouldnt mexico is one of our Economic Partners they have some of the responsibility. Have some skin in the game. Why is it always that the United States is disproportionately affected with other people not doing their fair share . This is in sound keeping with the president s policy of being tough on immigration, Border Security, really securing it so we dont have these porous borders where people are coming over, there is human trafficking. There are drugs coming in. Crime. And having worked as a prosecutor for many years in San Francisco which was a sanctuary city and in los angeles i saw all too well the real problem of people coming in, criminal recidivists multiple times deported and coming back in like we saw with kate steinle in San Francisco. No question it is real. We both know if youre worried about criminality the place to start isnt with illegal entrants but there is no question there are criminals among them and repeat offenders. Its a hard problem. We still wind up in the same place. I get going after mexico. We both know they are the weaker partner. They dont have the capabilities the United States has. Last year one of the biggest roundups. Over a thousand people. Kids are going to be in bad trouble. Weve had six pass. Who knows what will happen . Absolutely. Young children like young girls 10 to 13 years of age automatically checked for rain or pregnancy because of whats happening. It is not okay to allow people to come over if they can be. Theyre under staffed, begging congress and the white house for help. Theyre not getting the help they want. Big problem. I dont get the solution. Because what happens now . You put the tariffs. Mexico says fine but i pay them, right . Because im the consumer. Now youve got the trade deal with mexico. What if they push back . What if it threatens the trade deal . Why is this the solution . Great point. Why are the democrats stonewalling and not allowing this to come to a vote . This is the problem were seeing. The president repeatedly over and over again says partner with me. Lets work on this problem. This crisis of immigration at the southern border. We can all agree there is a situation that needs to be addressed. The president has tried. And tried again. But now he needs to do something different. And this is very consistent with what he said he was going to do. Mexico, youre going to have to do your fair share. Were no longer going to have the american taxpayer who works very hard for their paycheck every day shoulder the burden of your gross, irresponsibility at the border allowing these people to come over. Why not go to the triangle and say let me help you people . Let me help you with the conditions making your people come to us . I think theyre economic claims. Let me help you. He said he wanted to pull aid. Wont that make it worse . I dont think so. It is a problem. You have the United States over and over doing the same thing which is the definition of insanity if you expect a different result. We keep rewarding people who arent working honestly as our partners in the United States, saying okay. This country has a problem. Theyre coming over. Theyre not doing anything, chris. It is only getting worse. To secure the border, prevent people coming in from south american countries. We dont give them much either. They are still getting help from us. I dont think it is unreasonable. The American People want the president to honor his promises about Border Security which relates directly to national security. He would not be doing his job if he didnt get tough with it. Lets see if they understand. Because this is not a man who says he is going to do something and not do it. He will fulfill this promise. Ifs going to be 5 and have an escalator if they dont take it seriously. I think hell get their attention just like he has with china. Tariffs work if you have patience at the plate. Well, well see because they get passed off on to the consumer is the problem. You see what is happening with the farmers. Time will tell. He will be measured in the election. There will be an adjustment. A little tough love. There may be growing pains with this but it really has reached a crisis point where he has to act. But it is a crisis he is imposing with the tariffs. As you said, time will tell and hell be measured in the election. The crisis is because of illegal immigration coming over. You put two things together. Tariffs work. He is imposing a similar idea and proposal with china. We havent seen a deal happen in china. Again, third time. Time will tell. He will be tested in the election. The impeachment situation. Let me ask something for the position of the campaign. Sure. Does the campaign accept the proposition that russia interfered in the 2016 election and we must stop them from doing it in 2020 . There was some indication there were facebook attempts, etcetera, to interfere with the election, right . But again, what did we find . Specifically that there was so much money spent, millions and millions of dollars, two years on an investigation that yielded no results. Despite the bias that was inherent. There was a result. Russian interference happened. It was pernicious, widespread. It has continued. When you say it was pernicious and widespread there has been no determination it had an impact whatsoever on the United States election. Should that type of thing be taken seriously if its happening and investigated . Sure. What do you mean if its happening . Do you think it happened . Im reading reports that say they think there were attempts with facebook, etcetera. Do i think it was widespread or pernicious . No i do not. Do i think it had an impact on the 2016 election . No. Do i think the democrats wish it did so they could have another excuse to say why President Trump is in the oval office . No obstruction, no collusion, and now theyre saying there is a coverup. I get the talking point. You know none of that is true. I do know that is true. There was no criminal conspiracy thank god. The president wasnt a traitor or a foreign agent. No proof of any of that. Thank god. But they wasted the taxpayers money. They owe the taxpayers an apology. They did things they knew they shouldnt have done and lied about it. Where was there any finding that there was any kind of insufficient evidence, no evidence whatsoever about collusion . Giving information to a guy with russian intel . Stupid move. Taking that meeting in trump tower . Stupid move. Where is the evidence of any obstruction and collusion whatsoever . That is collusion. It is not a crime. If Robert Mueller who over stepped his bounds by coming forward and making that statement had found any evidence, the prosecutors job as you know i am a former prosecutor, is to determine if there is sufficient evidence that a crime has been committed and that that individual is guilty of that crime. Prosecutor or not thats his job. He found no evidence to support that. In fact, he he found a lot of evidence to support it but said he couldnt prosecute it. William barr went a step further and released the whole report. There has been transparency. Theyve put up with witch hunts and investigation here. They know the strong economy, as you know, you come from a family of politics. Strong economy incumbents get reelected. They dont want to see the president remain in the oval office. Who is they . The democrats and many people in the main stream media. Mueller is not a democrat. I dont know what he registered as but i do know what he did. Sessions wasnt a democrat. I do know what he did in overstepping his bounds. Let me tell you something. In the Kenneth Starr report and he did the investigation on bill clinton 11 times he used the word guilty right . Did you ever Robert Mueller ever use those words . Whatsoever . No. How was he going to get him on obstruction when he has guidance not to indict a sitting president and, two, when the guy at the center of it wouldnt give him answers. The subpoenas, the fbi agents, this was an investigation that went on and on. They wanted a predetermined outcome. They didnt get it. He didnt give them anything on obstruction. Because he didnt commit obstruction. He cant be part of an antitrump situation. He is a life long republican. I dont know if he is part of an antitrump situation or not but i know as a prosecutor he over stepped his bounds to try to appease the democrats who were upset because they were hoping he was going to be santa claus for them to put the president out of office. Hes an independent broker. He always has been. In fact he over stepped his bounds and made those statements. I think he did it in your favor because he is supposed to say prosecutor declined but he cant because his hands are tied so he wants to explain and he says, i cant do this. Im not even going to say if i found criminal activity because i dont want to be unfair to the president because he wont have his day in court. But i cant say he didnt do anything wrong. I cant exonerate him. I thought he bent over backward to be fair. William barr said specifically mueller could have reached a conclusion and not violated dod policy, quote, to make charges or indict a sitting president. If he had the evidence to support it, he would have read it in the report. It wasnt there. He does. He has five different counts of obstruction that have significant nothing against the president. There is no finding or conclusion that the president obstructed justice. He said he couldnt and he left to congress. Now well see what they do with it. Additionally as william barr said the doj, the investigations they do, do not serve as an adjunct to congress. They just want a different outcome so now theyre going to continue to do this. Who is they . The democrats and the cast of characters running trying to unseat President Trump. This is what theyre raising money on, impeachment, impeachment. So are you. Im not raising money on it. The campaign put something out saying they want to impeach the president. Give us money. The people that support the president of the United States believe in him and theyve seen that in fact despite this president being completely cooperative he didnt sit for an interview. He didnt answer a single question on obstruction. The president was totally transparent and cooperative with this investigation. Except he didnt sit for aint view or answer a single question about obstruction. There is no evidence of it. I know. He didnt talk to them. There is no evidence of the obstruction. There is a lot of evidence of it. They didnt get any directly from him. Now they say he engaged in a coverup . Of what . Innocence . Come on. It is absolutely ridiculous. His efforts to control during that proceeding was what they were looking at. Now itll come to congress and i make you this promise. This must end. It has to. Well, it should be ended already. Weve already got the report and the conclusion. Mr. Mueller said well figure out what congress is going to do. Other issues will come up now. The border, the economy, trade. The campaign has a place on this show. You are welcome to come on and argue the positions of the campaign whenever you want. It is our position that in fact they dont want to focus on the results and the economic boom, record low unemployment across the board so they want to talk about crimes that never happened and now they want to pivot to coverup. I dont see that situation as you do and thats okay. Because we will always disagree on this show decently and you always have a place to make your case. Youre being so nice. No, no. Just fair. We have known each other a long time. We certainly have. Always tough but fair and you certainly have an opportunity. Good to have you here. Thank you. Right now it is super important to police the truth. We have to because it is the only thing we have to go on especially on matters related to the mueller probe. There was a raft of attacks by this president today. What does the truth do to them . Help them swim or sink . Well see next. Before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. Now no fruit is forbidden. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday, allnight protection. Can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn . For allday, fine. No one leaves the table fine well sleep here.

They help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture. Weve got to have each others backs. Cerave. Now the 1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand. Fafrjts check got to do it. The president of the United States said a lot of things today about issues that matter. And here we call out balls and strikes. Take a listen. I think he is a total conflicted person. I think mueller is a true never donald trump. Body that dislikes he is somebody that didnt get a job that he requested that he wanted very badly. All right. Now, here are the facts. The doj found no conflict. Congress never raised it. The white house didnt raise it. Steve bannon, remember him . He said the idea of mueller having a conflict was ridiculous. Mueller did not ask to be this president s fbi director. It was the other way around. He was asked to come in for an interview. Material distinction there. When potus claims unprecedented cooperation, you heard it in the interview but lets it rate it now. What mr. Mueller wanted most and needed most he never got from this president. The president never answered a single question in person and his lawyered written responses never even touched the issue of obstruction. Thats why the written answers were found to be inadequate by the mueller team. Some campaign folks deleted relevant communications. Not helpful. Others were convicted of lying to investigators. Not helpful. Even when this president then stumbled today in a tweet in what appeared to be an admission of the basic threat that russia attacked our election and did so to help him, he then had to backpedal to this. Russia didnt help me at all. Russia if anything i think helped the other side. We know russia not only tried to help the Trump Campaign and only the Trump Campaign but the Trump Campaign expected to benefit from its interference. Even the Republicanled Senate Intel Committee found, quote, there was no pro clinton content on facebook or instagram as part of the russian influence campaign. When potus claims mueller didnt find obstruction either, lets call it what it is. Thats a lie. Mueller repeatedly pointed to substantial evidence that this president tried to obstruct justice. This is why mr. Mueller said this. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. And they didnt say so. So now, congress has to figure out what to say about it all. You must decide what matters to you and how much but lets start with the facts. I want to get back to the president s new tariff threat for mexico for the purpose of halting immigration. It feels muscular, right . It sounds strong. But who is it going to hurt more them or us . That is the making of a great debate with these two lookers here, next. Ork. And after work. He does it all with dr. Scholls. Only dr. Scholls has massaging gel insoles that provide allday comfort. To keep him feeling more energized. Dr. Scholls. Born to move. Excuse me. Uh. Do you mind. Being a motour . What could be better than being a motour . The real question is.
