Transcripts For CNNW At This Hour With Kate Bolduan 20190605

Thats for sure. Will you try to block those tariffs . What im telling you is that were hoping that doesnt happen. Vice president and secretary of state are meeting with mexican officials on this very issue today. So, what is going to happen . Lets try to figure it out. Michelle kosinski is at the state department. Lauren fox is on capitol hill. Let me start with you, lauren. They dont want to have basically rebuke the president of the United States but republicans deeply concerned about these tariffs. Here is what a few republicans told me this morning. We think tariffs, in this instance, are hurting the chances of getting usmca and, for me, thats a very important goal. I support getting mexico to doing more and i hope conversations occurring today produce more cooperation by mexico. They could have a big impact. But i think the tariffs are unnecessary, if we can get Congressional Democrats to just do their job, which is to support bipartisan legislation, which would fix the holes in the law that are being exploited by cartels. We would be better off if we dont put a round of tariffs on mexico. Reporter behind the scenes, kate, republicans very frustrated at that lunch yesterday. Im told about half a dozen republicans rose and told white house and justice officials in the room that moving forward with tariffs could put them in a difficult position where they may be forced to vote against the president s Emergency Declaration on the border and these tariffs if it comes up for resolution of disapproval, which could happen if democrats in the house force the issue. Kate . Right. But do they have then the question then, of course, becomes do they have enough support, overwhelming amount of support need in both chambers to override a veto you would expect to be coming . Much more on that, lauren. Where do negotiations stand between the Trump Administration and mexico over the president s demands here . There are some optimistic signs. From mexico, weve been hearing based on what theyve seen from the white house, they feel like a deal can be worked out. That sounds somewhat comforting to all of those Business People and farmers and republicans, members of the president s own party, who have been so concerned out there. And today the white house, one of the white house aides is spelling out exactly what they think mexico could do better. More resources at their border, take care of asylum seekers, make sure people arent profiting on human trafficking. So, theyre spelling out some points where mexico could do better. It seems that the point that mexico is in at least some agreement on that. So, a couple of hours from now, we could have a clearer picture. Kate . Depending what comes out of the meeting, there might be progress to avoid it. Even short of that, michelle, i mean, the president s trade rep when he was on with jim sciutto this morning said also that they believe that the tariffs might not even need to go into effect, precisely his words, because they have mexicos attention. When i heard that, im starting to wonder if this will be another example of some machination of the president starts a fight, then backs down only to claim himself the victor on this. Starting to catch on, kate. Yeah. So, weve seen this many times before. Note that the only person who is not expressing some hope or optimism on this tariff issue is the president himself, saying while he was traveling that he feels like these tariffs will go into effect, saying that mexico has to stop all immigration through its country to the u. S. Border. Is his standard of what doing something is, is not, one, not clear and maybe completely different from what his trade advisers are negotiating . Of course. Of course. And he likes to be the one to make the threats. We have seen with tariffs that he will allow them to go into effect in some cases, even when it will hurt u. S. Businesses and u. S. Consumers. So, hes willing to do this. Its just that there are so many people out there now who are getting tired of this. And people are calling it negotiation by threats. And this is the way, in some cases, diplomacy is also conducted. First come the threats, then comes the stress and in the end, lo and behold, it somehow works out. The trade version of fire and fury. Good to see you, michelle. Thank you so much. Lauren, great work. Well see what happens on capitol hill. President trump son his way to ireland, landing any moment now, actually, where he will be meeting with irelands Prime Minister. Spending this morning with other World Leaders making the 75th anniversary of dday. It happened early in the morning, most of it. It really was a beautiful ceremony. One of the highlights youre seeing is when veterans of the battle walked on to stage to standing ovation by the massive crowd, by all the World Leaders, including the queen of england, standing ovation from all of them. But you have this beautiful ceremony, such pageantry, but amidst of the pageantry, President Trump is raising eyebrows once again during this trip. This time in a new interview. The president is due to arrive just minutes from now. So, pam, it seems that it has now become the president versus Climate Change once again. Yeah, thats right. The president has made his views clear once again even as World Leaders have spoken to him. Theresa may, the Prime Minister in the uk, said she spoke to the president about Climate Change. Its a big concern for her. We do expect that to come up here in ireland. The Prime Minister here also said he will bring it up to President Trump. The president brought it up in a wideranging interview with piers morgan in the uk. He talked about his discussion with Prince Charles and said Prince Charles is very passionate about Climate Change and he was moved by what he had to say, but it was clear, kate, that it didnt convince him otherwise on his views of climate hang and his skepticism of it. I believe that there is a change in weather, and i think it changes both ways. Dont forget it used to be called Global Warming. That wasnt working. Now its called Climate Change. Now its called extreme weather. With extreme weather, you cant miss. So he talked about several other things in that interview, kate. He aimed to clarify his comments on meghan markle, saying she was nasty about him not as an individual. He talked about the vietnam war, saying he was never a fan of the vietnam war and that basically he claimed at the time when the war was happening, nobody had even heard of that country. As you know, he received a deferment, claimed he bone spurs and so he never served in the vietnam war. President trump arrives here in shannon, ireland, 30 minutes from now. He will meet witha the the vip lounge with the Prime Minister. There was a lot of dispute between ireland and the uk over the venue because initially President Trump wanted to meet with the Prime Minister at his golf course not far away from me here in shannon and the irish balked at that suggestion. Theyve been able to finally settle on a neutral venue. Theres been questions raised, kate, about whether this trip to ireland is so that President Trump can come and play golf. U. S. Official said that is certainly not the case. They wouldnt say whether he will play golf while hes here but said there are several issues to discuss with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is expected to bring up Climate Change, trade and other issues. Kate . Definitely a lot of issues to be discussing. While the president is overseas, i do want to head back to washington. Another republican rebellion dependency the president in the works, this one having nothing to do with mexico. Instead, all over the president s move to go around congress to sell weapons to saudi arabia. Now there is a bipartisan effort under way in the senate to stop him. Cnns alex marquedt is following this for us. He joins me now. Democrats and republicans working together on anything, full stock, but working together against the president. What are you hearing right now . Reporter the other thing we dont see very often is republicans in congress coming out so vehemently against the president s proposals. Weve seen both those elements play out several times in the past eight months in the wake of Jamal Khashoggis murder, saudi journalist working for the washington post, murdered at the consulate in istanbul, concluding that sawed a arabias crown prince was behind that. Lets put this into some context, kate. Essentially what happened here is that secretary of state mike pompeo, in order to bypass congress, declared an emergency to be able to proceed with 22 separate arms sales worth 8. 1 billion mainly to saudi arabia but also to the united arab emirates. In the wake of khashoggis murder, bipartisan members of congress have tried to prevent this relationship between saudi arabia and the u. S. From growing any cozier. What were seeing now is this group of bipartisan senators, seven of them, led by the Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign relations committee, bob menendez, joined by rand paul, Lindsey Graham, 22 joint resolutions of disapproval. Kate i want to read you part of what Lindsey Graham said in response to this. While i understand that saudi arabia is a strategic ally, the behavior of mohammed bin salman, the crown prince, cannot be ignored. Now is not the time to do business as usual with saudi arabia. Im also concerned about the precedent these arms sales would set by having the administration go around legitimate concerns of the congress. You have members who essentially do not want to reward the kingdom of saudi arabia with these arms sales. Frankly, these resolutions of disapproval, theyre not much more than that. Its not clear what these senators can do to essentially block those arms sales beyond stating their disapproval. Kate . Its one thing to say something. Its another thing to do something. As youre seeing, this is all kind of coming together right now, alex. The administration sure seems to be testing the limits of the national emergency, National Security declarations from trade and tariffs to immigration and the border and now looking at going around congress when it comes to arms sales. Put it all together, its quite something. Thanks, alex. Appreciate it. Thank you. Coming up, why is senator Bernie Sanders headed to a walmart Shareholders Meeting . The message hes taking. And the real question is, will it be heard . Plus the only armed guard on campus the day of the School Shooting in parkland, florida.

Instead, to talk to the board of walmart. Sanders is going to be facetoface with executives of the company at their annual Shareholders Meeting. Are you wondering whats going on here, like many of us . Lets go to cnns ryan nobles. He is there. Sanders is serving as a proxy for walmart employee at the Shareholders Meeting. Had an is going to happen . What is he trying to do . Reporter well, hes certainly trying to send a message to the executives and the leadership of walmart here, kate. Of course, this is a frequent target of senator sanders on the campaign trail. He often talks about big corporations and what he feels is their unfair treatment of their employees, and walmart specifically is a company he talks about a lot. Listen to a smattering of things that sanders has said on the campaign trail. Wealthiest family in the United States pays their workers wages that are so low that many of these workers are forced to go on food stamps, medicaid or public housing. If you are worth 170 billion, pay your workers a living wage. Reporter of course, i spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with Bernie Sanders. Parts of his speech where he talks about walmart memorized. It will be a little different today, kate, because now he will be facetoface with his leadership. What he will do here is foremanally ask that a member, an associate of walmart gets a seat at the table on their board of directors to give the employees a voice. This is about his fullsome argument about treatment of associates with these Massive Companies that make billions of dollars in profits. Its unlikely that that proposal will pass this is part of sanders broader message about economic inequality and his message of democratic voters and if elected president these are the issues he will take on. Fascinating move, no matter what comes of it. Ryan, thank you very much. Good to see you. So thats happening in arkansas. As for the democratic frontrunner, joe biden, he is facing trouble on two fronts this morning. Accusations of plagerism. And his crime bill that he has had to answer to and for since the moment he announced his run. He is stepping up his attempts to defend that past in the face of his competitors, not letting up one bit. Listen. I have a great deal of respect for Vice President joe biden, but i disagree with him. That crime bill, 1994 crime bill, it did contribute to mass incarceration in our country. That crime bill was one of the foundations of mass incarceration, in a very painful era in our nations history. And i think, look, the Vice President , anyone else has to be accountable for every vote they take. Cnns arlet synes is joining me now. How is he responding to this criticism . Reporter weve not heard him directly respond to this but this issue will keep coming up over and over. It was here in New Hampshire three weeks ago today where he defended the bill, saying it did not lead to mass incarceration. Last night in concord, he once again offered a defense for that crime bill. Take a listen to what he had to say. When i wrote the crime bill, which you have been conditioned to say is a bad bill, theres only one bill, only one provision in it that had to do with mandatory sentences that i opposed and that was a thing called the three strikes and youre out, which i thought was a mistake. Rational way to go about it is to make sure youre not putting people in jail who, in fact, have not committed violent crimes. You should put them in Work Programs and positions where they are on probation, et cetera. Reporter though hes not directly responding to criticisms from people like Kamala Harris or bill diblasio, he is offering defense of that crime bill. We see him in a different position at odds with his democratic rivals when it comes to abortion. Saying he does support the amendment th puts him at odds with many other democratic rivals and could be an issue Going Forward that you see them bring up especially as theyre heading closer and closer to that first debate, kate. I was thinking about the debate when youre talking about the crime bill. He will have a hard time not responding directly to his competitors when thats presented at that first debate. Good to see you, arlette. Appreciate it. Calls for impeachment of President Trump, are they having any impact on the one woman with all the power . Right now, nancy pelosi is speaking to reporters right now. One woman in her caucus says they must act by august. Why is that . Is that the timetable that pelosi is working with .

Holding firm, at least for now. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is nothing, if not consistent on especially when it comes to the big question before her now, whether or not to start impeachment proceedings of President Trump. Here is what nancy pelosi told reporters just moments ago. Impeach, its an indictment. Its an indictment. So when youre impeaching somebo somebody, you want to make sure you have the strongest possible indictment, because its not the means to the end that people think. Shes saying people need to know exactly what theyre getting into, and the house needs to be prepared when they do that. So, is that the message . Is the message being received by House Democrats who say the time is now for impeachment . Lets find out. Joining me now is one. Dozens of democratic lawmakers who support launching impeachment proceedings, congressman thank you for coming in. Thanks for having me. You hear the speaker say that. What do you say in response . Im all for building that airtight case, moving us towards an indictment. But i think thats what an impeachment inquiry is about, beginning the process of hearings, investigations and the proper context that can get us there. Do you think that with the house judiciary committee, starting with Committee Hearings next week, that youre essentially launching impeachment proceedings, but just not calling it that for whatever reason . Were doing a lot of the same things, no doubt about t were just not doing it in the context of an impeachment inquiry. I think theres growing momentum in the caucus, though, for going ahead and initiating what would be called an impeachment inquiry. And theres a couple of advantages to that. A lot of legal scholars and others think it will give us enhanced standing in the various fights were having with the administration, but secondly, i think it helps us tell this story to the American People and put it in the proper context. Help me understand, though, where nancy pelosi is wrong. Her main point is that the goal of impeachment, if you are going down that road, is to get a result. And the result that you would want is to remove the president from office, which youre not going to be able to do because the senate is not going to go along with it. Until you have movement and you convince the senate, if you could until you could convince them otherwise, where is the speaker wrong in this . It really doesnt work that way. Im not saying that the speaker is wrong. Im saying that those who say we have to wait for a green light from the United States senate before we do our constitutional job in the house, i think, have it confused. Thats not the way the constitution lays it out. Weve got a job to do, i believe. And the evidence is overwhelming. Its compelling. Its time to begin an inquiry. And then it will be on the senate. And, look, the politics of this issue and where things are with the senate are not static. They can change. As we bring forward these facts through proper hearings, if we do it in a thoughtful way. There will be a tremendous amount of pressure on United States senators. If they want to stick with a criminal president in the face of all of this compelling evidence of unprecedented misconduct in office, there will be a price to pay. You, though, when you talk about politics are all over this thing, right . You are in a safe seat, deep blue district in northern california. But democrats in the house won the House Majority back, in part, because democrats were able to flip red districts and turn them blue. I want to play for you what i am hearing from some of those house members, those House Democrats. Listen to andy kemp. People in my district were so upset about that paralysis and just the partisan knife fighting and they said we just need to get Government Back and be able to move forward and be able to get the job done and actually try to work where the rubber hits the road. Those are the cues im taking. Those are some of the concerns that certainly i and others worry about when we think about not having that focus on our legislative agenda. Do you think theyre and thats the reason hes not there yet. This wont happen unless you convince folks like congressman andy kim. How do you convince him . Hes not wrong. We have to walk and chew gum and keep working on all these issues so important to the American People. Last night we passed the dream act out of the house of representatives. That was a big, historic action. I wish we were talking more about that today. Thats the thing about impeachment, though. Its such a huge thing, there is no question it is going to overtake all the conversation if and when that would happen. Kate, were talking about impeachment right now, arent we, even though were not in an impeachment inquiry. Hamlet act, endless hand wringing over should we have an impeachment inquiry, should we not . Were calling the president lawless, saying impeachable offenses have occurred but were not willing to put it in context of an actual inquiry. If we started the inquiry, that could be one channel that we and the media talk about while we do all our other important work. Interesting point. I want to ask you really quickly. You spent a large part of your career working on environmental issues. Yeah. The president overseas in an interview new interview, he talked about Climate Change and he met with Prince Charles and said Prince Charles had spoken to him a lot about Climate Change, something he has been championing for a long time. The response from the president on Climate Change i believe theres a change in weather and i think it changes both ways. Hes talking about it went from Global Warming to now we call it extreme weather. This isnt the first time the president has denied Climate Change. Whats your response when you heard that from the president . You know, its always a roller coaster with this president , when he starts conflating weather with climate. The more he says on this subject, the more deeply embarrassing and shameful it is. Hes not just failing to lead, hes embarrassing our country on the world stage when he talks that way about an issue thats so vitally important. Also makes me wonder youre on the Environmental Committee on capitol hill, what that means for getting any work done with this administration. But well leave that for another day. Congressman, thank you for coming in. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it. Coming up for us, his job was to protect students.

His job was to protect the students and the school from harm. Hes now behind bars, charged with abandoning them when they needed him most. Were talking about scott peterson, former resource officer of Marjory Stoneman douglas. Facing charges, including child neglect and perjury, after the massacre that left 17 students and staff dead and 17 others injured. Investigators say peterson failed to confront the gunman, never going inside the building where the shots were fired a ede it all went down and then lied to investigators about it. He peterson has always said that he acted properly. Here is what he told nbc last year. The families need to know, i didnt get it rieght but it wasnt because of some, oh, i dont want to go into that building. Oh, i dont want to face somebody in there. It wasnt like that at all. You werent scared . No. There was no time. Things went so fast. Those shots i heard, immediately i thought they were outside. I didnt know where they were coming from. Made his First Court Appearance this morning. He could spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted. What does this mean for the families of all of those killed . Joining me now is lori al hadad. Her 14yearold daughter died that day. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me, kate. What was your reaction when you heard that peterson was arrested and charged . I was very happy that finally justice is served and that he is going to be held accountable for the death of 17 people. And its not that the memory of that day is ever very far from your mind at all, but i can imagine that it is moments like that, like this, that bring it all flooding back. You know, on february 14th when the shooting was happening, i texted alyssa. I told alyssa to hide that, help was on the way. Peterson was that help. He had a duty to go into that school and take down the threat and he froze. Peterson has always defended himself. You heard in that interview with nbc news and in that same interview he said last year that it will haunt him for the rest of his life. And his attorney, in responding to the charges, had said one of the things that he said was that there was only there has only ever been one person to blame for those deaths, and thats nikolas cruz. Do you hear that . You know, thats unacceptable. He had a duty to go in there. He was an armed Police Officer with a gun. He could have gone in there and taken down the threat and he could have saved lives. So, he is at fault and he should be held accountable and should spend the rest of his life in jail. Hes charged for his inaction, right, for not not for what he did, but for what he failed to do. And as were learning very quickly, criminal liability in that regard is quite unusual and rare. What if, lori, after all of this, where you feel justice may be served, that he will be held accountable in your view in this moment. What if after all of this, then, he doesnt go to jail . Well, i think our Justice System will prevail and he will be held accountable and justice will happen. And they will make sure that he serves the rest of his life in prison, as he should be. Do you have anything that youve been wanting to say to scott peterson, if you had the chance . I would just tell him that i hope that the picture of my daughter haunts you for the rest of her of your life and that you spend a miserable life in jail. And the 17 lives that were taken that day were because of your lack of failure to go in and engage the threat. Were showing some of the pictures that you shared with us of alyssa. Shes such a beautiful soul. We cannot forget that. And also reminds me, seeing pictures of her again, that your entire life changed that day. But you have since really turned your grief into action.

President trump is demanding action from mexico to stop illegal immigration or else, obviously threatening new tariffs on the country set to set in next week if they dont do, quote, unquote, something, as the president said. Being tough being a tough trade negotiator and tough on Border Security is some of what got donald trump elected in the first place, but could these moves now actually cost the president down the road . Looking at his reelection bid, his election this time. Josh green has a new article for bloomberg that digs into this. Trumps tariff spree comes with big electoral risks. Josh, when i was reading this, its fascinating what you got your hands on and what it spells out. Analysis from Goldman Sachs on the longer term political impact of the president s tariffs moves. What did they find . Well, whats interesting is they found trumps original move against china last june where he applied 50 billion in tariffs was quite popular with voters, especially voters in swing states but that has had a net disapproval rating. If you look at the tariffs he has applied to allies like canada and like new mexico, those have been especially unpopular and especially unpopular in the key swing states that are probably going to decide the 2020 elections. What this tells me is that trumps increasing use of threats outside the trade arena, his current threat against mexico to stanch the flow of migrants is not something that is necessarily going to benefit him. I think there is a mystique around trump with tariffs that these are always a winning move for him and the data seems to suggest that its not sgla according to the chamber of commerce texas would be the state hardest hit by tariffs on mexican goods. Followed by that would be michigan, california, illinois, ohio. I know there are people looking at this and advising against this. It became public a day or so after he made the announcement that his chief trade negotiator was very much against this deal not only because it upends the effort to put through a nafta replacement, but also because if you look at who is going to be hit by these tariffs in the u. S. , its mainly Auto Companies. And where are Auto Companies based . Upper u. S. And swing states and where he is already underwater in the polls and where republicans faired very poorly in the mid term elections. He is taking a real electoral risk by leaning so heavily on tariffs and hitting allies with them. Thanks, josh. Really appreciate it. I want to continue this discussion. First i want toshow you what you were looking at a is President Trump and the first lady. They have arrived in ireland where the president will be touching down and meeting with irelands Prime Minister. They will have a meeting together. Lots of issues to be discussing. They will be meeting to continue on their trip. Well keep watching pictures and bring you news. When it comes to trade, tariffs and the polls, joining me now. That was really interesting analysis from wall street. When you look at the polling numbers that you have been digging into, what does it say . I think i agree with wall street on this. Lets look first at this particular question. Do the trump towers help, hurt or have no impact on the u. S. Economy . 47 say it hurts the u. S. Economy. Just 25 of americans nationwide say it helps the economy. So the tariffs, voters are moving against them. Its not just tariffs. Lets talk about trade more generally. Approve or disapprove of trumps job on trade, just 39 approve of trump on trade. 53 of voters disapprove of trump on trade. Check this out. Look at this. Has trump been or will be successful in revising trade deals to be better for the u. S. . Back in december of 2016, 62 . He was a trust negotiator. It would be good for americans. Jump ahead to december of 2018. Then it drops only to 40 and the plurality 47 of voters nationwide say he wont be able to do that. Thats a large jump. You have two things. You have people dont like what he is doing in terms of trade moves. People are afraid of what it could mean when it comes to the economy, but it comes down to what real impact they see in the economy that is the real kind of x factor that we dont know in the next month. I will point out that trumps trade numbers in the midwest are just as weak as they are nationwide when you break them down into the key midwestern states. This is something, its not just that people are upset with trump individually. He is changing their mind on free trade more generally speaking. Back in november of 2015, slightly more americans thought free trade was a bad thing than a good thing. Jump ahead to may of 2019, a majority of americans, 51 , over 25 percentage point jump say this is something really to watch in the coming months. And in the democratic primary. Thank you so much.
