CNNW New Day Weekend With Victor Blackwell And Christi Paul November 3, 2019

Cani canine. So you have the floor. That blinkman, he cant wait to lick it. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good sunday morning to you. President wakes up in new york city after a late night fight in Madison Square garden and was a distraction from the impeachment inquiry back in d. C. You hear and see there kind of a mixed reaction at the crowd at the mixed martial arts fight he attended with his sons eric and don jr. A similar scene outside of the garden where he was met by protesters and supporters and their signs to hear the chanting. Earlier in the day the president was in a fighting mood it seems taking to twitter and hitting at the impeachment inquiry and hitting out the whistleblower who started it. Cnn correspondent Kristen Holmes was at the ufc match last night. Talk to us about that crowd laeck rejection. It is a miracle im Still Standing because President Trump didnt get wrapped up until 1 00 a. M. So we werent in bed until 2 00 a. M. So im proud we are making it on today. The reaction was mixed and half boos and half cheers. You had an intirp section sitting directly behind me yelling impeach trump. A couple of signs went up and said remove trump, impeach trump. On the other side you had a big section of people cheering for him. At one point during the fight when it was quiet that section started cheering his name over and over again. I think this is an interesting look the a group of people here which kind of represents the country. You have thousands of people here from all walks of life and youre seeing that they are really split on how they feel about President Trump. Kristen, looking ahead to what is next in the impeachment inquiry, we have learned that one of Mick Mulvaneys top aids will not testify tomorrow, regardless of a subpoena being issued. Why . We know that some members of the administration have decided to show up despite what the Administration Says is their decision not to participate. Right. This is robert blair. He is not a household name. He is kind of behind the scenes guy and adviser to mick mulvas e mulvaney. He will not show up on capitol hill tomorrow. At the direction of the white house which was given by the advice of department of justice they would shot show up even under subpoena. He is a member of a large group of white house aides that democrats had asked to testify this week as this impeachment inquiry was ramping up after that thursday vote. President trump was asked on his way to new york city last night whether or not the white house would allow the aides to testify. Take a listen. I dont know. Youll have to speak to the lawyers. Nancy pelosi has become unhinged. Something wrong with her. If you look at what is happening, if you look at the poll numbers, if you look at the poll numbers in the swing states, they are saying dont do this, dont do it. Im fine with it. We did absolutely nothing wrong. We know that this is a talking point for republicans that this is going to be dangerous for democrats come 2020. I want to note there are three other aides who were supposed to show up on capitol hill tomorrow and we dont know if they will come to testify. We know that Speaker Pelosi has said this investigation would certainly broaden. Is there anything indication why President Trump seems on twitter overnight to be concerned with the whistleblower again . Ive talked to a lot of aides. This all started with that whistleblower complaint. This is one as many attacks he had last night saying the whistleblower has disappeared, where is the whistleblower . This is an example of him, essentially, building the case that the whistleblower was a pawn, that the democrats used him to complete this political scam, this sham impeachment inquiry something we know President Trump has said over and over again calling it a hoax, a witch hunt. This is essentially saying if its built on something that democrats were using as a political pawn, then how could it actually be a real inquiry . Kristen holmes for us in new york, thank you. Thank you. The attorney who represents the whistleblower is, again, denying President Trumps claims that his client acted on behalf of adam schiff and other democrats. This was tweeted. Cnn political commentator errol lewallow louis is with us morning. We saw the tweets from the president where is the whistleblower and members of Congress Calling for the name to be released publicly. Some are even linking through twitter to articles that guess at the name of this whistleblower. First, lets talk about the danger it presents but the relevance of the whistleblower at this point, because the president , through word and document release and members of the administration through testimony, have confirmed many elements of the initial complaint. Thats right. Where the complaint came from has really, if youre interested in the facts, almost no relevance at this point because white house own transcript tells you everything you need to know. With all kinds of other ahead Additional Information that corroborates it. So the identity of the whistleblower is not necessary from a legal standpoint or from a fact finding standpoint. What it is necessary for, we can see what the president is trying to do here, the white house wants an enemy. They want somebody that they can demonize. You cant do that if you dont have a name, if you dont have a profile, if you dont have somebody who you can sort of pick apart and that is what the president is trying to do. Now, we also heard from the president that he now says he would love to have the ukrainian president , president zielinski, visit the white house. Ambassador taylor, you and our viewers will remember, testified that the u. S. Diplomats wanted that liberal to get that white house visit, the public assertion there will be an investigation linked to the president s political opponents. Is a white house meeting problematic . Ukraine is a u. S. Ally but is it a problem to have zielinski at the white house . It certainly wont answer the questions about what happened and why pressure was put on him and whether or not its going to lead to the impeachment of President Trump. I think, look. Some good could come out of this. It is still true there is a shooting war going on on there, that russian operatives are there threatening the independence of a sovereign nation that is an ally of the u. S. There could be something that comes out of this that is actually not bad if the prestige of the white house, of the presidency and of the u. S. Government is genuinely conveyed, along with being, frankly, the milled aid at the heart of all of this. Lets look ahead to the upcoming week. Most of the house is back in district but tomorrow four witnesses are scheduled to appear before the three committees. John eisenberg, michael ellis, both lawyers with the National Security council and Mick Mulvaney says he will not show. One from the energy depth. Eisenberg told him not to discuss the call between president s trump and zielinski and then he, then moved the record to a higher security server, he is probably the headliner of the day. Do you expect they will show . Its an interesting kind of question. Some of these have lawyered because they dont want to get caught between what their employer is telling them and a subpoena tells them to do. I think the white house will sooner or later realize the strategy of keeping their people from testifying means that folks they would rather not hear from are building the record, you know . They have to figure out what their strategy is really going to be. If they have got insiders who could possible put forward an interpretation that is favorable to the white house it would be in their interest to have those people show up and speak truthfully under oath. Finally here, the president back in his former home state now of new york at this ufc fight. You have a piece on cnn. Com this weekend, the politics behind trumps move to florida are Crystal Clear for people who were not aware with all of the headlines, the president changed his residency from new york to florida. You named three in this, right . What is at the top . Only time for one. Oh, yeah. Sure the leading reason is political. Florida is a true swing state and it went twice for george bush and twice for barack obama and barely 1. 6 , 113,000 votes for donald trump. He has to win florida if he wants to get reelected and why he kicked off his campaign there and takes him further down there of being a native southern rather than a tourist. Thank you, errol.

I havent heard that in the very powerful world put no how powerful President Trump there that was last night respond to go the Washington Post reports that gangs in mexico have been using saws to cut through the border wall at the u. S. mexico border. A saw you can buy at a Home Improvement store. Back in september the president stood next to the fence much like the one called through and called it virtually impenable. They say spaces are maid for people and drugs to pass through. A judge has blocked a Trump Administration policy would deny visas for immigrants that could not afford Health Insurance and to go into effect today. A group of u. S. Citizens sued the administration arguing a new form of, quote, family separation. President trump issued the order last month saying hospitals and Health Care Providers were going unpaid but a foundation told cnn in 2017, threequarters of the uninsured people under age 65 were u. S. Citizens. President trump says things are Getting Better along the u. S. mexico border. The reality is they are getting worse for families. There are families waiting for their immigration cases to be called on. Less than a fiveminute walk from the texas border, thousands of migrants are living in camps with deteriorating lirl conditio Living Conditions. Cnn nick valencia went there.

S. mexico border. She is worried about her kids. They are not getting enough water and not living a healthy life right now. The camps are overseen by the mexico government. Their asylum proceedings and in many ways their fate is entirely controlled by the United States. What we have seen, which is consistent with my experience as we have seen time and time again, that when individuals cannot come into this country illegal and be released from detention, the numbers of those individuals that try to come to this country deep crease. Reporter this is a result of u. S. Policy . Yes. This entire encampment, these conditions, these deaths, these drownings, all of it is a result of the u. S. Policy. Reporter aclu of texas staff attorney Rachelle Garza says the migrants are dubeing denied by process pop the process is challenged in court and allowed to preoceed. You hear the president saying things have gotten better on the border and we walk through scenes like this. Its gotten better because they feel like they have gotten ripped of the problem.

This whole thing, how these people are living. Reporter this is what life has come to for 42yearold avelina. Like most mornings the last three months, she can be found here on the banks of the rio grande washing her clothes in the same filthy and contaminated waters others are using to bathe. She says she knows that the water is dirty but they, themselves, cant be dirty. They need to still keep some dignity but migrants said its hard to keep your dignity when a camp grows every day and few Resources Available are used up. Today one of the biggest problems there are only a handful of bathrooms for the more than 2,000 migrants who call this camp home. What cant be translated on camera is the smell. There is not enough bathrooms for all of the migrants that are here and all around this encampment like here, toilet paper, human feces everywhere. And they say life here is worse than their home country of guatemala. They dont want their faces seen because they say they were recently kidnapped while living in mexico. He says he is thinking about going back because a lot of time spent here and they are getting back. Going back to a country they fled because of violence only for it to follow them, now living in questionable questions, they are scared for their lives. What is your worst fear at this point .
