Transcripts For CNNW Wolf 20160603 : vimarsana.com

He is temperamentally unfit. He said i know more about isis than the generals do. Believe me. You know what . I dont believe him. She does not look president ial. That, i can tell you. Four more years of this stuff, were not going to have a country left. If you believe america is weak, then you dont know america. And you certainly dont deserve to lead it. Hello, im wolf blitzer. Its 10 00 a. M. In culver city. Wherever you watch around the world, thank you for watching us. Game on. Theyre in full effect right now and giving us a preview of whats to come in the president ial race. The candidates are back on the campaign trail today after clinton unloaded on trump during a speech yesterday. Trump wasted no time firing right back calling the speech pathetic and sad to watch. Take a look at this, looking at live pictures from culver city, california. Well be watching and keep you updated on the latest comments. Trump, meanwhile, campaigning in redding, california, after a rally last night in san jose. Scuffles broke out between Trump Supporters and antitrump protesters. Take a look at this. Hillary Clintons Campaign chairman strongly condemned on twitter. One fight is against the prominent hispanic leader within his own party in a nearly complete aboutface, trump tells a new mexico newspaper that he now wants the endorsement of the states republican governor, suzanne martinez, not just respects her but always liked her. This is the same one that trump blasted last week during a rally in albuquerque. Shes got to do a better job. Okay . Your governor has got to do a better job. Shes not doing the job. Hey. Maybe ill run for governor of new mexico. Ill get this place going. Shes not doing the job. Weve got to get her moving. Lets go, governor. Following those statements against governor martinez, Republican Leaders immediately pressured trump to backtrack not only because a fellow republican but the only female latina governor. Two groups that must win to make it to the white house and the head of the republican governors association. Until now, the presumptive nominee refused to do so even defending his comments recently as tuesday. She was not nice. And i was fine. Just a little bit of a jab. But she wasnt nice and you think im going to change . Im not changing including with her. Trumps new olive branch, will it be enough to win governor martinezs endorsement . Heres what she told a reporter from a santa fe newspaper. He needs to address his plans for us. And new mexico people deserve to get that answer. Hes not addressed it yet. Is it possible you might not endorse him . Im waiting to hear from him as to addressing the issues facing mexico. Once i hear that, well see. Lets get some reaction from the trump campaign. Joining us right now is the senior advisor, ed brooke. Thank you very much for joining us. Glad to be here, wolf. Are you surprised about this turnaround by donald trump only last week, strongly criticizing her and then all of the sudden, this olive branch saying he anxiously wants her spoth. Not at all. She wasnt at the rally. As he said, took a shot at her. But we were in the business of making friends in the Republican Party and she was an endorsement we would appreciate. It wasnt a little shot. Basically said shes not doing a good job. Thats hardly a little shot. In mr. Trumps speech, he was talking about a lot of different issues. We do think he addressed issues facing new mexico and now extended an olive branch. Is this the result of pressure hes been under from top republicans, hey, youve got to cut it out. You cant go after suzanna martinez, head of the republican governors association. I think its a result of mr. Trump continuing to want to grow his campaign, to reach out, to include more republicans and for us to move forward to go after Hillary Clinton like we did earlier. Was it a blunder to say what he said about her in albuquerque . I dont think it was a blunder. I wish she was there. We want to move forward now. Lets talk about this Trump University lawsuit. His latest comments in the wall street journal interview against the judge in this case suggesting hes not a fair judge because of his mexican heritage. You said he has an inherent conflict of interest. The director of the latina Outreach Program for the Hillary Clinton Campaign Said the fact that donald trump doesnt see judge curiel and family and clearly an american and born in indiana and a federal judge. These comments about him. Theyve caused a lot of outrage. This judge from day one has overreached in our minds. Put together this lawsuit that has Little Foundation and from day one, we think hes been unfair. He accepted the lawsuit. He accepted it, but thats his responsibility as a federal judge. He could have turned it down, we thought would have been the correct thing to do. So if trumps lawyers thought he was being unfair, why didnt they ask to have him removed, or recuse himself . They never took any legal step like that. In fact, the judge accepted some of their request to delay any trial until after the election. I dont know about the legal strategy. Im not talked with them about that but we think the lawsuits are without foundation and when mr. Trump is not afraid to take the facts and let them become public on the case. When a presumptive nominee calls a federal judge a hater, if you will, and he offers these ugly words about a federal judge, that raises all sorts of questions about interference and separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, the judicial branches of the u. S. Government. Hes being widely condemned for this. Im sure you appreciate it. How does he walk this back . I think these comments around this case, hes not talked about overstepping bounds in this case. Hes talked about his reaction to private citizen to a lawsuit. He thinks its unfairly brought against him. Lets talk about another comment last night. Didnt really respond to Hillary Clinton blistering back on National Security but did say, really went saying she belongs in jail right now because of the email controversy. Isnt that going way too far, that belongs in jail. If you believe she broke the law. She hasnt been charged with a crime. But theres this ongoing investigation. But while theres an investigation, you dont belong in jail. Not while the investigation is going on, but i think he was referring to down the road, these actions, this coverup shes undertaken deserves the utmost kind of punishment because she set an example as secretary of state with our National Security. Is the rhetoric going too far . Basically, is Donald Trumps rhetoric against Hillary Clinton, her rhetoric is pretty brutal against him as well and basically saying hes not fit to be president of the United States but hes saying belongs in jail. Hes trying to make the point about how serious these charges are. They are serious and put National Security at risk and going to continue to make these charges as long as we need to make the point about the risk of her at as president. This is Hillary Clinton going after donald trump. She has continued to lie about it. Said the lawyers signed off on it. The Donald Trumps ideas arent just different. They are dangerously incoherent. Theyre not even really ideas. But just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. He is not just unprepared. He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. Its about a 45 minute speech after her attack, he didnt really respond to the specific accusations she levelled against him on National Security and foreign policy. He went after her on other issues. Why didnt he respond to those specific complaints that she put forward . Well, if i had her record of secretary of state, i would do what she did too and try to lash out and cover it up. She didnt talk about the russian reset or his decision to go to make a regime change. We could go on. So i think he believes that if she wants to have a substantive discussion, well take a shot at that but she was wanting not to talk about her record but to talk about him. After he spoke last night, there were some ugly demonstrations outside the venue. Let me play a little bit. You could see it going on between trump protesters and some of the trump protesters. You could see one of the supporters there being hit. Apparently, he was sucker punched over there and went to the police. The individual was arrested were told, as a result of that. But unfortunately, this is happening now all too frequently. These very, very ugly demonstrations. What can the candidates do . Your candidate, donald trump, other candidates do to try to calm things down. I think its a couple things. One, continue to condemn the violence outside. Peaceful protests, everybody is for that. Thats part of what america was built on but have to condemn the violence. Secondly, our folks, try to keep a cool mind and then allow the police to do their jobs and so let them do a jobs and theres a place to gather to be recognized, great. Dont cross the barriers. Do peaceful protest. And allow a democratic process. Do you think youll hear a statement about that from donald trump . He already condemns the violence and doesnt condone that kind of activity. Hes got to calm things down and the other side as well. Its a little heated. Very heated. Thank you very much. Thanks, wolf. Donald trump says when someone hits him, he hits back even harder and hes now responding to Hillary Clintons blistering speech. Not with necessarily on policy talk but with calls for her to be put in handcuffs. Listen. After what she said about me today and her phony speech, that was a phony speech. That was a donald trump hit job. I will say this. Hillary clinton has to go to jail. She has to go to jail. That was a phony hit job. Shes guilty as hell. It was pathetic. It was so sad. Joining us for this new level of counterattack, what it means for the race ahead. The colorado democratic governor john hickenlooper. Thank you very much for joining us. You bet, wolf. You want Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States. What do you think of what donald trump just said that she really belongs in jail . Shes, quote, guilty as hell, from setting up a private email server in the years she was secretary of state . She hasnt been charged with a crime yet. Sounded like he wanted her to be in jail because she had the audacity to attack his volatility, the temperament. But what are you suggesting . Elaborate on what you just said. Well, i think that what she was talking about is that his temperament makes him unfit to be president. Talking about international politics, but if you look at it just from the economy, one of the things that any Good Business or good economy is based on is predictability, reliability, confidence to know whats going to come next and i think donald trump throughout this entire campaign has been the opposite of predictability. Who knows what hes going to say next and businesses, especially like in the six months before a president ial election, Capital Investment goes down and not sure whos going to be president , if someone was elected by some, im not sure any business would want to make large investments in the capital because the predictability would be too high. Think about the trading partners all over the world. The unpredictability would make it hard for them to be good partners. Governor, youve suggested that the whole clinton email investigation would be treated differently if she were a man. Why do you think gender is playing a role in all of this . Well, im not saying it is. What my point was, shes done 11 hours of testimony. Theres no charges filed. Released thousands and thousands of emails. All of which, when she was using them, they werent top secret or secret information when they were sent. At a certain point, shouldnt we move past this and i struggle to understand why this has become, i obviously understand its a Political Campaign and both sides are attacking each other, but this does seem, weve exhausted and gone through it again and again. Weve got to wait to see what the fbi decides. Their investigation is ongoing and not necessarily all that much longer before they reach final conclusions, make their recommendations to the u. S. Attorneys and the attorney general of the United States. Well see what happens. Theres still a lot of stuff out there. Well see what happens. Lets talk about the Vice President ial pick from the Hillary Clinton side and her campaign. Your name has been mentioned. What, if anything, can you tell us, are you being vetted right now or has anyone had a serious discussion with you . Were seeing some other potential picks. I think the Clinton Campaign is very focused on their primary with senator sanders and obviously focusing on the risks that donald trump presents. And i havent been vetted. No one called me or asked questions. I think they are, as they should be, focused on the campaign. And if they do call you and say, you know what, we want to see your tax returns, weve got some questions for you. We want to put you on that list of potential Vice President ial running mates, what would your answer be . I do have the greatest job in the world. To be governor of colorado is a gift, but if the candidate calls and says its important for the country and i need you for these reasons, obviously, it would be hard to say no. That sounds like a yes to me. Thank you very much for joining us. You bet. Thank you. Governor hickenlooper of colorado.

Take control of your retirement today republican is asking for answers for the admission from the state department. The agency now admitting in archive intentionally edited for the iran negotiations. Been quoting him now, in tampering with this video, the bureau of Public Affairs has undermined its mission to communicate timely and Accurate Information with the goal of furthering u. S. Foreign policy, end quote. This is all the more troubling and given that the video in question dealt with hugely consequential Nuclear Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of iran and, quote, from ed royce, additionally, it was blamed on a Technical Glitch. Our Global Affairs correspondent takes us through the sequence of the events. Were there secret a startling admission from the state department. A Critical Exchange from a press briefing about secret talks with iran cut from the video version of the briefing posted online. This was a deliberate request to excise video. It began in february 2013. U. S. Officials were secretly meting with iran yians about nuclear talks. With regard to the kind of thing youre talking about on a government to government level, no. Revealed later, jen faced tough questions about whether the state department was lying. There are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. This is a good example of that. But when a reporter tried to refer back to the exchange from the video archived online, said a critical section of the video had been edited out. The initial excuse . Genuinely, we think it was a glitch. But now a different explanation after learning the 9 Minute Exchange was deliberately removed at the request of an unknown official that called one of the video technicians. The individual who took the call doesnt remember anything more than it was passed on from the Public Affairs bureau. Sakie denied involvement on twitter saying i had no knowledge of nor would i have approved of any form of editing or my briefing transcript. No word from the state department who gave the order or whether Something Like this happened before. We dont have the time and the resources to look at every single briefing from the past. Critics of the Iran Nuclear Deal said the incident proves their claims, the Obama Administration misled the American People. Republican senator tom cotton insisting the state department identify the official who ordered manipulation of the iran video and impose appropriate discipline. The episode comes on the heels of a top aide to president obama, ben rhodes, telling the New York Times magazine that the administration created, a quote, echo chamber for the media in favor of the deal. Now the state Department Said it put in place policies and make sure it never happens again but the debate continues. Fox released new emails between james rosen, the reporter involved in the exchange and asked for clarification of her denial saying he denied involvement in the transcript, not the video. Sakie responded she had nothing to do with the scrubbing or the briefing of any form and accused in vilifying her with no evidence, wolf. Thank you very much for that report. Joining us now, the White House Communications director, jen sakie, the state spokeswoman with this controversy. First interview since the state department admitted it was not a Technical Glitch but someone deliberately told that video tape editor to delete seven or eight minutes of the official video. Have you gone back and looked over who was responsible for asking that video tape editor to remove that video, that sensitive video . I dont have anymore information than you do but this is a stunning case of poor judgment. Whether that was incompetence or lack of experience or both. I dont know the answer to that. The fact is, as was stated in the previous piece, i had no involvement with the editing, nor would i have approved of it. The republican you referenced before, i agree with the sentiment that the whole purpose of the state Department Briefing to provide a forum with reporters from the United States but all over the world about a range of issues. I spent two years doing that and many of my predecessors spent more time and this really flies in the face of that effort and something many of us spent time really believing in and hopefully delivering on from that podium. Do you want the Inspector General of the u. S. State department to launch an official investigation . They asked that the Inspector General find out precisely what happened. Who asked that video tape editor to delete that video . Is that a good idea for an ig report to begin right now . Well, wolf, ill let the state department and their lawyers speak to that. I will say, you know, i think i understand why people at home who are watching this inside the beltway debate in many ways cant understand why nobody would be held accountable and why they cant get to the bottom of it. There are demands from the hill from members of congress and house committees to have their own investigations. Will you fully cooperate . Of course. I have absolutely nothing to hide here, wolf, but i will say, again, i had no involvement and no knowledge here. And i think this is raising an interesting debate you probably had on your show before and weve all discussed many times over the years whether diplomacy should be given the room to develop and to grow with the secrecy thats sometimes needed. Many could argue, i would certainly argue we would not be the place we are with cuba and not where we have a deal with iran or theyve agreed to not move forward on creating a nuclear weapon. Had we briefed out these discussions publicly. And thats something that going back to schultz and kissenger. As you know, its one thing to be discreet and not release all the information to the public for sensitive reasons, whether its classified or diplomacy but another thing to flat out lie to the news media and the American Public which is what your predecessor did when she was asked back in 2013, whether or not there were secret bilateral government to government negotiations going on with iran and she said no. That was a lie, right . Well, wolf, i think youd have to speak to my predecessor about that. What i can tell you is that what i was doing, not just that day when this question was asked, the fact is, a week before this, i proactively talked through every aspect of the back channel at the state Department Briefing and the stories that came out before that. My role was providing information. I was an advocate of that about the back channel. It was at the time where we could do that because of where the diplomatic negotiations were. Theres a long history for decades, again, of not being able to provide information when its at a sensitive time that could have an impact and that certainly was the case earlier that year. But then there was this, when you were the state department spokeswoman, subsequent e chaxce with james rosen with why Victor Victor victoria newland lied. Ill play the clip again. Is it a policy of the state where secret negotiations are concerned to lie in order to achieve that goal . James, i think there are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress. The accusation against you and i want to give you a chance to respond, you were defending that earlier lie from victoria newland. I think you could speak to tori or anyone else what she knew about that but what i was doing that day and the weeks prior was providing information about the back channel, about the negotiations from the years past. I do believe, as i said during that exchange, there are certainly times where negotiations and important diplomatic discussions require not briefing the public on whats happening. Not because we dont want to have that conversation with you, wolf, but that means all parties are weighing in and becomes a public debate instead of a private negotiation that, as you know from covering these type of negotiations for years, is often needed in order to make progress. The point being though that its one thing not to release all of the information you need for National Security reasons or diplomacy or whatever. Its another thing to lie to the media and the American Public as a result of that. Is it ever justified . This is my final question because i know you got to run. Is it ever justified for a u. S. Government spokesperson to lie to the American People . I think thats a fundamental value that i have always valued to not to and providing as much information as you possibly can including being an advocate when you can provide more and thats what i did on the iran back channel. Jen sakie, the White House Communications director. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you, wolf. Great to be here. The presumptive nominee and the gop governor of a key swing state. You can bet theyll have a lot to talk about when they meet on monday. Standing by live, the florida governor, rick scott. Ill ask him whats on the agenda when he sits down on monday with donald trump. Every time i drive. Want my number . And cash back for driving safe. And the power to automatically find your car. I see you car and i got the power to know whos coming and when if i break down. You must be gerry. Hey. In means getting more from your Car Insurance with the allpowerful drivewise app. Its good to be in, good hands. The Florida Republican governor rick scott will be at trump tower in new york city on monday to meet with the Presumptive Republican president ial nominee, donald trump. The reason . A strategy session to try to win scotts home state of florida in november. Lets ask the man himself, governor rick scott joining us now from naples, florida. Thank you very much for joining us. Since march, youve been a supporter of Donald Trumps race for the white house. Talk about the meeting on monday. Who initiated the meeting . Whats the purpose . I called donald. I talked to him quite a bit and said, i want you to win florida. I predict hell win florida but were talking about how we won in 2010 and 2014. I was not the establishment candidate and we won and i want to tell him what it takes to win. Romney did win the state and i believe donald trump can win big if he does the right things. A lot of people as you know, governor, speculating this is a potential audition for you to be his Vice President ial running mate. What, if anything, can you tell us about that . Im going to pass on that. Ill have two years left when donald gets e llected. We had 1. 1 million jobs. If someone in the white house cared about jobs, think of what i could accomplish my last two years. If he asked you to submit your personal documents, income tax returns, and go through some interviews to potentially get on that short list, would you say yes . Ill say no. I like this job. I worked hard to get this job. I love the 20 Million People in my state and 100 million tourists. Ill do my best the last two years to make sure this is the number one place in the world for jobs, education, and public safety. Thats a flat no. You have no interest. You dont, under any circumstances, want to be his running mate. No. I want to continue. I predict donald will have a big win but i want to finish my job here as governor and do all the things we can to make the state people can live to get a great job and a great education. Ill take that as a hard no. Close to your heart, my heart. The zika virus. I know you want more federal aid. You need more money. How serious of a problem is this right now . We get ready for the summer season. Mosquitos in florida. How worried are you about this . Think about it. Congress goes on recess. On vacation. Zika is not going on vacation. We have 165 cases. Were blessed with that, but work hard to make sure we do our job. But the federal government supposed to be a part of a natural disaster, thats what this could be. We need the federal government to show up. I wrote a letter to president obama this week. We have 30 counties with mosquitos saying we need help with insecticides, training, protective gear. We need help with more additional personnel because when this, if this happens in our state, were going to be prepared. Our states known for being prepared for disasters. Hurricane season started. Its going to warm up with more mosquitos but be prepared but the federal government should do their job. But you know, both houses of congress are controlled, or the majority are republicans and many seem not interested in providing the funds that you say you need. What do you say to your fellow republicans . First off, its a disappointment that Congress Went on vacation before they did this. But the funds and can do these things and we also ask, by june 15th, we need to work how we work with fema if we have mosquitoborne illnesses and they could provide funds for all the things we ask. We were detailed in our request. Our department of health is doing well and county and this could be a National Issue and they should show up. Governor rick scott of florida. Good luck to you and the floridians. I know its a source of deep concern down there. Stay in touch with you. Thank you. Bye, wolf. Just ahead, the flight for fallujah intensifying right now.

The battle for fallujah in iraq is intensifying right now. Coalition war plans kukconducte air strikes. The Tunnel Networks and the iraqi agency reporting that dozens of militants have been killed. For more, lets go to Senior International correspondent, ben in baghdad right now. Tell us more about the air strikes. What are you learning about the state of this assault on fallujah . This is a specific air strike that the iraqi intelligence was referring to. That was a Coalition Air strike on what they describe as an isis command center in southeastern fallujah. Now, they say that the process that several dozen isis fighters were killed significantly, they say, they believe there was a meeting that was going on in the command center at the time and that running the meeting may have been the socalled commander of isis forces in fallujah itself. So that could be a serious blow to isis in the town. At this point, wolf, the city is completely surrounded by the iraqi army. We know we spoke to representative from unicef that said over the last five days, around 900 civilians have been able to flee the city. In all sorts of ways and theres one part of the river, the Euphrates River people cross upside down bed frames, surrounded or tied to entire inner tubes. So they get out however way they can but that came under fire from isis. So the escape from fallujah is no small task at this point. As this battle rages on, wolf. Certainly does and perhaps as many as 50,000 civilians trapped inside. 20,000 children for that matter and all of them potentially in danger. You be careful over there and well stay in close touch with you. Just ahead. From the refugee crisis in europe to the bloodiest battles in iraq, arwa damon has seen global conflicts up close and one of the courageous journalists and here in washington with me. Well talk about the turmoil in the region right after this. You ready . One, two, three. [ both ] emma, emma bobemma bananafanafofemma feefifofemma emma very good sweety, how do you feel . Good. Yeah . You did a really good job, okay . [ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from johnson johnson. Cnn Senior International correspondent arwa damon covered conflicts around the world. From isis and the Iraqi National army, thats ongoing right now. To the bloody civil war in syria currently ongoing, as well. Europes refugee crisis, seen it all. Arwas here in washington joining us now live. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. Isis right now, is it winning or losing . You have been to syria, iraq. Update our viewers. Heres the problem, wolf, when we talk about the status of the fight against isis is we cant term it as winning or losing. It is a battle against an ideology. Yes, the u. S. Likes to spit out a lot of statistics like 60 of territory is lost. Xamount of People Killed and air strikes carried out. Hoerls the problem. The previous incarnations of isis in tenplus years defeated at one time and managed to morph and emerge as something more powerful so whilst you can look at the numbers and say, maybe isis is being defeated, the army is not the problem. The army is isis is not the problem. Were facing on a global scale is battle against ideology and that we are actually losing. The battle for fallujah right now, 50,000 civilians trapped inside, most are the sunnis. If the iraqi army backed by shiite militia, revolutionary guards, the head of the revolutionary guard supposedly on the scene, if they win, what happens next . Thats one of the most critical points for iraq moving forward because fallujahs very much looked at as something of a blueprint then advance into mosul, iraqs second largest city. Most critical thing to happen at that point of time is various different shia militias not to orb arbitrarily and killing the sunni population and the other thing to be careful about is how civilian lives are lost because isis isnt letting people out. Theyre struggling as we heard ben reporting right there and the iraqi army if they end up killing too many sunnis, thats going to reflect poorly on them and perpetuate the notion that the government doesnt care about the population, the sunni population. You have spent a lot of time in syria, based right now door next to turkey. Maybe 300,000, 400,000 syrians have been killed over the past four years of the socalled civil war. Millions have been made homeless. Any end in sight . Its very hard to see one. I do so fundamentally want to be wrong about that but its very hard to see one in the next ten years or so because the problems are so intractable. It is not just about winning various different battles. We are talking about seismic change happening across an entire region. At the end of this, wolf, borders are probably going to be different. Populations are going to be different. And its not just going to have an impact on the middle east. The impact of this socalled crisis extends well beyond it. This is going to not just frame the middle east, per se, but it also has the potential to frame how we are as a Global Community and how we interact with one another on a greater level. Arwa, thanks very much for that update. Welcome to washington. Thank you. I know youre heading back to the region shortly. Thank you very much. Meanwhile, deadly floodwaters are rising in paris.
