Says america doesnt need them because barack obama was elected. First, Elizabeth Warren is on the rise. We are looking at new Monmouth University polls in to cnn, and while it shows president ial candidate joe biden leading the pack among democratic voters nationwide with more than double the support, it is the battle really for the number two spot turning heads here. Elizabeth warren has surged 5 from last month and she is now neckinneck with Bernie Sanders, virtually tied for second place. Joining me now is patrick murray. He is the director of the Monmouth University institute, a polling institute. So this is quite the move that were seeing here by Elizabeth Warren. Do you know why were seeing this . Yes. She is solidifying her support among liberal voters right now and i think thats the key, and it has been a slow, steady progress over the past two months for her, unlike some other candidates in the past who jumped on the polls, harris, buttigieg, orourke when they first announced. Hers has been a steady and solid climb. What it is, these are establishment liberals, the new deal liberals who have an affection for the Democratic Party, whereas, Bernie Sanders supporters are liberals disaffected from the party, dont like the Party Leadership but like his policies. I think thats one of the reasons Bernie Sanders is calling on the memory of fdr because i think he realized this is a group that Elizabeth Warren can win over with her policy proposals, and thats exactly what the polling looks like is happening right now. Thats an interesting point about the message were seeing from Bernie Sanders. Hearing from sources in the biden campaign, theyre telling cnn they arent exactly worried about warren getting traction because shes eating into Bernie Sanders support and splitting the progressive vote. Right. Do they have a point when you look at this . Yes, thats what we see. Among moderate voters right now she only has 6 support versus 25 in the liberal wing of the party. So thats where her support is coming from, so nobody really is undermining biden in that area. It is just warren and sanders are basically divvying up the liberal wing based on whether they really have a strong attachment to the Democratic Party or not. So when it comes to elect ability, tell us which Democratic Candidates are standing the best chance against President Trump . Because it seems like sanders at this point still holds a small edge over warren in that regard but not too much. I think theyre basically tied. What we did was we asked democratic voters, because they have been telling us all along at the end of the day electability will be the number one issue, who can beat donald trump. We asked on a scale of zero to ten to rate the candidates. Joe biden comes up on top at an average of 7. 7, but sanders and warren are there with each other. What is interesting is right now were in a stage where everybody that supports a candidate basically says their candidate is electable. I think next weeks debates will change it up. People will see them side by side, they will compare them and contrast. These are the numbers i think we could start to see shift, and as they shift i think warren is in a pretty good spot right now of coalescing the liberal wing as somebody who is electable as we go forward and she becomes better known. Yes, we cannot wait for that. Patrick murray, thank you so much. And meanwhile over on capitol hill, democrats say that were witnessing obstruction of justice happening in realtime. Theyre talking about former trump aide hope hicks who testified before the House Judiciary Committee for much of the morning, but democrats say she refused to answer any questions about her time in the white house, including but not limited to where her office was located in the west wing. Really. So theyre preventing her from talking about anything . Anything related to her tenure in the white house, absolutely. Even something as simple is where was your office located, objection. It is ridiculous. Is that a real question that was asked that they objected to . It was a real question that was asked. I want to bring in congressional reporter for the washington post, rachel bade with us. Why wont she talk about something as seemingly harmless as where her office was located . So the white house has come in with hope hicks today and her testimony and theyre basically blocking her from answering any questions about her time at the white house, claiming that she is immune from speaking about these incidents. Obviously hope hicks left the white house quite a long time ago, so she is no longer there. Democrats are saying that this is a bogus claim of immunity and they are trying to get her to answer these questions but being rebuffed left and right. Why does this matter . Hicks is one of the closest aides to President Trump, or she was when she was there. She worked for him before he ran for the white house, she worked for him through the campaign, and then again at the white house. Now, she has been central to witnessing potential obstruction of justice according to special counsel robert mueller. He mentioned her 180 times in the Mueller Report, and so democrats were hoping to ask her about some of these instances but theyre just getting blocked left and right, which is really frustrating a lot of the democrats. And, you know, considering how close an aide hicks was, it is intriguing according to our reporting here at cnn hicks and trump rarely speak, rachel. We are told she has ignored several of his phone calls. She is still though clearly following the white houses order not to cooperate here. How do you square those two things . Clearly she is looking out for her own future, and coordination of any kind, you know, democrats could say theyre sort of aligning their answers and accuse them of, once again, trying to obstruct justice or Something Like that. Perhaps she is looking out for her own legal standing. It is g going to be interesting to see whether they take her to court because a lot of democrats are leaving the room, openly talking about how they need to get her to testify, theyre going to have to go to a court to have a judge potentially force her to answer these questions. Keep in mind, this is just one of many witnesses democrats were really hoping to talk to, to sort of go through the Mueller Report and learn more about it. So were looking at multiple potential court cases that could drag out for a long time. For now theyre just sort of left frustrated. Indeed. All right, rachel bade, thank you so much. Democrats say the white house lawyers are claiming absolute immunity to have hicks avoidancing the avoid answering these questions. According to david cicilline, absolute immunity is not a real thing. This is what he told us in a crowded capitol hill hallway. Theres no such thing as absolute immunity that prevents someone from answering questions about any subject related to their work in the administration. It doesnt exist. I want to bring in julian epstein, the chief counsel for the house judiciary democrats during president clintons impeachment. Julian, explain to us, what does this mean, absolute immunity and how is it playing out in this instance . Absolute immunity would be a claim by the white house that none of the staff or the president need to be answer any questions in a congressional proceeding or in a legal proceeding. You dont have to take David Cicillines word for this. The Supreme Court has spoken on this. They spoke in 1974 when nixon tried to stop a subpoena from being compelled to get the tapes. The Supreme Court said theres no such thing as absolute immunity. What there is is there is executive privilege, but executive privilege is very, very narrow. Executive privilege has to first be invoked by the president. It was not invoked by the president in this instance with hope hicks testifying. It is very narrow relating to kind of deliberative decisions. So the information that senior advisers give to the president so the president can figure out how to discharge his duties as president. It does not relate to things like hope hicks role during the campaign for example. There could not be a conceivable claim of privilege that the white house could invoke with what hope hicks heard or saw or did during the campaign. It cannot relate to whether she was involved in trying to constrain the mueller testimony by telling attorney general sessions to limit the scope of it so it was just forward looking rather than backward looking. That is one of the allegations in the Mueller Report. It cannot relate to whether she was involved in trying to get Michael Flynn to not testify in the mueller proceeding, which is another allegation in the Mueller Report. So what the white house is doing is invoking a blanket privilege that the courts have said does not exist. They know it doesnt exist. It is kind of putting lipstick on a pig of an argument that they just dont have. It is not a serious legal argument. Nobody that has practiced in this area would regard it as a serious legal argument. It goes back to what we spoke about before. It is a delay tactic. It is a delay tactic. This is politics. They want to kick it into the courts. I think it is bad politics for them because i think it is just going to keep the issue alive for a long time. Unless he rather than trying to find accommodation. Unless he want to keep it alive is also the question. So hope hicks, she was mentioned so many times. 184 was my count. Yes, in the investigation, in the report from robert mueller. She spoke at least three times. She spoke at length to his team. So in that regard does it mean that executive privilege was already waived . Likely it does. I mean it is another gray area of law. If a white house staff speaks to a Law Enforcement official for a Law Enforcement matter, does it mean that executive privilege is waived for other things, for a congressional investigation . Not a clearance to that issue. The answer probably is likely, particularly once that portion of the Mueller Report, the stuff that she testified to is made public. If the white house wanted to invoke executive privilege on her part of the testimony to mueller, they should have never allowed that part of the report to be made public. They should have claimed executive privilege on that. So the answer is probably yes, but, secondly, you know e to this point about whether there is a legitimate legal claim, even if there was a legitimate legal claim on executive privilege it does not extend to obstruction of justice or her role in potential illegal behavior. The two incidents that i cited in the Mueller Report, her role in constraining the mueller investigation, trying to cut back the mueller investigation, her role in trying to get flynn possibly to not testify, those are clear obstruction of justice questions. It would be unlikely i think that any court would give her protection on executive privilege. She may want to invoke the fifth amendment because i think that she actually has some legal exposure going forward. So i could i see her invoking a privilege on selfincrimination, but executive privilege is not a serious claim. It is kicking the can down the road. It is a political maneuver by the white house, which we can talk about another time. And we will talk about it at another time. I think it is dumb politics for this white house. Julian epstein, thank you for explaining that to us. Thank you. The president playing the old hits to convince people to reelect him, but many of his hits are outright lies so well fact check those. Under President Trump us air quality worsens for first time in decades just as the Trump Administration announces another move today that threatens to make it even worse. As congress discusses slavery reparations, Mitch Mcconnell says america does not need them because, among other things, barack obama was elected. S why go with anybody else .

President Trumps Campaign for reelection is officially under way after his kickoff rally in florida. He treated the crowd to some of his greatest hits from the 2016 campaign which included bashing Hillary Clinton, invoking fear over immigration and accusing democrats of destroying the country. He also made more than 15 false claims during his 76minute speech. So we have cnn reporter Danielle Dale he daniel dale with us to separate the fact from the fiction to separate the president as claim about the environment. Lets listen. Our air and water are the cleanest theyve ever been by far. All right. Not true, daniel. Tell us about this . It is not true. So were in the middle of a longterm improvement in american air quality. Many scientists attribute it to the Clean Air Act in 1970, but in the past couple of years it seems to have gotten worse, at least for the short term. We dont know if it is a longterm trend but it has gotten worse. The American Lung association does an annual report and they found 2015 to 2017 period was actually worse than the 2014 to 2016 period. This almost never happens. The number of hazardous air quality days in cities increased. It usually decreases. This has happened for two years. The number of People Living in cities with hazardous levels of ozone or shortterm particle Pollution Increased by 7. 2 million. It went up. So scientists caution we dont know if it is a lasting trend, but it is happening. So this is not the best weve ever been. Not the time to make that claim for sure. Then theres the subject of the investigation into russian interference in the election and the president said this. We did in the middle of the great and illegal witch hunt things that nobody had been able to accomplish, not even close. And they spent 40 million on this witch hunt. 40 million. All right. Whats the real story . So trumps been using this 40 million figure, Rudy Guilliani has used this figure. We dont know where theyre getting. Robert mueller filed expense reports. You can see them on line. He has reported his office spent 12 million from the time of his appointment. There was 13 million in associated expenses from the department of justice, adding up to 25 million. That only takes us to september 2018. His office was open for eight more months after that. So it is possible, even likely that the expenses will end up somewhere in the 30plus million range. Where he got 40 were not sure. We dont know if hes wrong but we dont know where he got it. Thats interesting. Then theres the promise, right, to build the wall along the border with mexico. The president claims the democrats were for it before they were against it. Lets listen. And you know we couldnt get the wall approved by the democrats, even though they voted for it four years ago and six years ago and didnt get built, but they voted for it. All of a sudden trump is president , we dont want a wall. All right. Break that down. Well, thats not exactly what happened. Many democrats, not all such as not nancy pelosi, many of them voted in 2006 under george w. Bush for something called the secure fence act. As the name suggests it was for fencing, 700 miles of fencing. Trump came along proposing a giant 30 or 50 or 70foot, giant concrete barrier. So whether you think democrats are hypocrites or not i think depends on whether you see an equivalence between the secure fence act and the giant monstrosity of a wall. Many democrats would say theyre very different. There was one other time democrats voted for fencing, and that was during the 2013 comprehensive Immigration Reform debate. In that case they voted for fencing because it was part of a package that included a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. So they were trading it off, not expressing their support for it in and of itself. Daniel dale, thank you so much. Thank you. So much smarter for having you on. Really appreciate it. Thank you. All right. We just talked about the environment. Today the president just rolled back another obamaera rule despite a serious warning. I will be speaking live with the 2020 candidate.

That is just one side effect of a new move by the Trump Administration to roll back an obamaera plan to limit coalfired power plant emissions. Instead, the epa says that they can states can set their own carbon emission standards, and in comparison president obamas plan was estimated to prevent 3,600 premature deaths, 1,700 heart attacks and 90,000 asthma attacks. Trumps epa argues that it also would have jacked up energy costs, hurting low and middle income americans the most. Lets bring in democratic president ial candidate john delaney, who is here in the studio with us. You are a proud moderate. You also have sounded the alarm on environmental and Climate Change issues. How would you balance these competing interests . The issue of cost, which is passed on to the consumer, and climate. Well, you have to be smart about it. Thats why i believe my plan to deal with Climate Change is by far the best plan because it will get us to net zero by 2050 but it is also pro growth. It is a big investment innovation, battery and Storage Technologies that we need. It will create a whole new industry called direct air capture, which is like carbon vacuums, machines that actually take co2 out of the atmosphere. But it is fundamentally based on something i worked on in the congress on a bipartisan basis, which is a carbon fee and dividend. We put a price on carbon which does raise the cost of energy. Fossil fuel energy, makes them less attractive. But you take all of the money and give it back to the american people. It kind of goes out one pocket, into another, and it will cut emission by 90 . The president is a climate denier. Anything he says about Climate Change is wrong because he doesnt believe it is happening, which is one of the j trmany tragedies of his presidency. My plan is the best way forward, i can get it done and it will grow the economy and deal with an incredibly big issue in my judgment were immorally leaving our children. I want to play a claim the president said about the environment last night. Our air and water are the cleanest they have ever been by far. Air quality we have just seen. I should say we just had our daniel dale on Fact Checking this. I heard, yes. He was saying they have to see if it was a trend or a blip. But for the first time in decades we have seen the air quality get worse. What is your reaction to the president saying this . The president lies. Thousands of lies since he has been president. I didnt watch his thing last night. Im sure it was filled with a lot of dishonest statements. 15 of them. Yeah, and counting. But, look, the reason air and Water Quality improved over the last several decades is because we passed landmark Bipartisan Legislation like the Clean Air Act, right, which has been materially kind of effective in terms of making air quality cleaner in this country across the last several decades. The same thing with water. Those were big initiatives. Those were laws that we passed where we came together as a country to protect our environment. Thats exactly what we have to do with Climate Change. Right . We have to pass laws that actually put this country in a position where we can get to net zero and lead the world. Right . It is not that complicated, right . We have environmental issues. We have air quality issues, we have Water Quality issues and we have Climate Change issues. We need to work together, find solutions and get them done. I want to ask you about something were keeping our eye on the hill on. Yes. Which is hope hicks. Democrats say she is refusing to answer questions about her time in the white house. They feel clearly she is very much stonewalling. She wont even say where her desk was located in the west wing. I want to turn this on you. You are running for president. How would you handle a congressional investigation . Would you promise, can you promise that you would not invoke executive privilege or refuse to have staffers comply with requests for testimony or even subpoenas and direct them to do that . Can you promise that . I can never really promise exactly what ill do for president around executive privilege. No person running for president can actually make that promise because invoking executive privilege as a way to delay something. I will never invoke executive privilege to stop or stonewall an appropriate and proper investigation that the congress of the United States is doing, which is what this president is doing. Because i believe in the separation of powers. Thats one of the great failures of this presidency. He fundamentally doesnt believe in the architecture of our great nation, which is based on this notion of the separation of powers. He doesnt believe in that. He doesnt think he should be held accountable. And as president , i enormously respect the separation of power, the independence of the judiciary, the fact that the congresss article 1 powers including oversight of the executive branch. I would have a totally different view on this issue, a totally different perspective. In part because i respect the fundamental model of this country which is based on the separation of powers, and we need to allow congress to do its job. I think Speaker Pelosi is do a fantastic job right now. John delaney, thank you for coming in. Thank you for having me. Thank you.

Until now the issue of reparations for slavery has largely been confined to the fringes of political debate, but a hearing on capitol hill today puts this squarely in the political mainstream. A House Committee is hearing from democratic senator cory booker, from writer coates and actor danny glover. The panel is considering legislation that would set up a committee to study to consequences of slavery and issue recommendations on proposals for reparations. Congresswoman Sheila Jacksonlee of texas is the sponsor of this bill. Walked this path. Child that has no, i did not pick cotton, but i will say that those who picked cotton created the very basic wealth of this nation for cotton was king. There was no other product. And so i ask my fellow colleagues that this is simply a constructive discussion that will lead to the practical responses. Senate majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says he opposes reparations for slavery. He says america has done enough to atone for its history of racism and oppression. I dont think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea. Weve, you know, tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation. Weve elected an africanamerican president. Michael eric dyson is a Georgetown University professor. Hes an opinion writer and an author, and his latest book is what truth sounds like. Thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. What is your reaction when you hear that from mcconnell . It is pretty astonishing. First of all, here is a man obsessed with the past. The Republican Party is stuck in the past. Why is it they cant appreciate the fact that africanamerican people have been produced in a culture that has exploited our labor, not compensated us fairly, unjustly treated us . The government sponsored jim crow in the separation of the races and extracted trillions and trillions of dollars from this unpaid labor. Beyond that, the Supreme Court wasnt here so to speak. It wasnt invented in any of our lifetimes. The declaration of independence wasnt written by a guy we can turn to right now, so the past clearly has a role in the present. His inability to being acknowledge that is fundamentally disingenuous. Finally, from a party that has stood tooth and nail opposed to much of the legislation he has spoken about there and to the president , by the way, that he claims as the manifestation of reparations. Now, i dont get that. How does barack obama account for 40 acres and a mule . How does he count for compensation historically for the denial of opportunity to africanamerican people . It is kind of strange. He said on the nieto balm au ob inaugurated we are going to make him a oneterm president. So Mitch Mcconnell was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. You talked about reparations. One of the things you talked about want an i. R. A. , which is not the usually meaning of the acronym but instead an individual reparations account for white americans to donate to groups that help black americans. Or, say, you cited as an example if you have a black man that cuts your grass, why dont you double pay him, you said. Right. The point you were making in this was if you are for the government doing something but the government isnt doing something, well, theres something you can do as an individual. You made that point, raised a lot of eyebrows with it. Right. But looking at the government side of things, what should the government do . Yeah, thats a good point. Im glad you clarified that because my point was in the absence of governmental action these are individual steps that white americans can take to contribute toward reparation. But historically the government has a lot to be responsible for. Lucy, you got a lot of splaining to do, so to speak. There are enormous responsibilities on the part of the government. Mitch mcconnell said were not responsible. All of us have benefited from a society of black labor. Even if you werent here when slavery was enacted. Lets talk about transfer payments, talk about access to education, lets talk about compensation for retraining. Lets talk about what my own institution, Georgetown University has done. 272 enslaved people are the basis for the well it of the university. The student voted each one to get 27 toward a student, a fund that would create enough wealth to be able to grant scholarships to those who are the direct descendants of those exploited. So that, you know, you have to have the desire to figure out a way to do it, then the ingenuity comes. If you dont have the desire, if you dont have the will to fix what is wrong, then we wont do it. Look what happened to japanese brothers and sisters in internment camps in the second world war. Look at jewish brothers and sisters around europe. There are ways people can be compensated for their services. Look at the gi bill. Now, it wasnt active affirmative action, it wasnt reparation, but it is trying to say these people went to war, lets figure out a way to go to war. Give them money for a house, point on a job test and entry into schools, so there are creative ways to address the africanamerican polite and predicament and multiple fashions and forms reparations can take to address the situation. I want to ask you about Something Else we are tracking right now, and that is former Vice President joe biden who is unfire right now. He was talking about bipartisanship but he was highlighting it with two segregation senators. He said this at a fundraiser. I was in a caucus with james o. Eastland. He never called me boy, he always called me son. He said, a guy like herman talmadge, one of the meanest guys i ever knew, you go down the list of all of these guys, we didnt agree on much but we got things done. I want to highlight cory booker weighed in on this, another president ial candidate and he is calling for him to apologize. He said, you dont joke about calling black men boys. He also said that Vice President owe bidens relationship with proud segregation is not the model for how we make it an inclusive place for everyone. Thats the highlights. I love both of the men. Cory booker is a remarkable young senator, joe biden has been there for decades and as a Vice President , but he is plain wrong here. The reality is senator booker is right. You cant joke about that. First of all he would never call you a boy because you dont qualify, you are not an africanamerican. Your partner, barack obama, might have been called a boy. First of all, to make a joke about something youre not qualified to, youre not subject to or potential victim of, dismisses the legitimate rancor, hurt and agony the africanamericans endured. By saying youre able to strike deals with White Supremacists and work with dig ots does not advance the argument about creating an opportunitydriven society where everybody regardless of skin color, race, gender, class or rnl is able to participate. I think that senator booker is right here. Joe biden has a great sense of humor but he ought to apologize for that and get his mind in the game in a far more reasonable fashion.

America has a billion dollar crisis when it comes to the roads and bridges that we drive on every day. In a special report, Jason Carroll investigates how a lack of funding is catching up with our deteriorating infrastructure. 4 million miles of roads and more than 600,000 bridges across the United States. In many cases, crumbling faster than they can be repaired. Its terrible. Its terrible. I dont know how to tell you, its hor ib will. Too many potholes. The nations roads received a d from the American Society of civil engineers. Texas, louisiana, and california were among those nearly flunking, all getting ds, the worst, new york and michigan, both d minuses. I have a flat. Get out here, fix the potholes. Last february, sylvia says a gaping pothole almost caused her to have an accident on i75 in detroit. You need to do something about it asap now. Reporter three weeks ago it happened again. This time on i94. They need a pa hole patrol or something. Somethings got to give. This is two times. Two times to me. Reporter county Officials Say given the Poor Condition of the states roads, its likely there will be a third time. You. Get what you pay for, and right now, weve been investing less than every other state in the nation. And we have the roads to prove it. Craig bryson says michigan needs 2. 5 billion more a year in road funding. And there is little appetite to raise. Tas or increase vehicle registration fees. Federal infrastructure money is one way to help michigan. A state that president campaigned in in. Reporter annual investments needs to increase by 32 billion. A whopping 47,000 bridges in the country are listed as structurally deficient. That includes the brooklyn bridge, washington, d. C. ,s Memorial Bridge and the pensacola bay bridge. Structurally deficient bridges are defined as needing repairs but not unsafe for travel. In west virginia, one in five bridges are structurally deficient. Its hard to see the problems from up above, but once you get under bridges like this one in west virginia, you can really start to see whats going wrong. This is a piece of guardrail thats fallen off, up there theres an actual hole in the guardrail. Crumbling concrete you can see where the concrete has simply fallen away. An estimated 11,000 people cross the bridge every day. This is a tragedy waiting to happen. Dan lives nearby, and says the state has been promising to repair it for two years. Not so much this bridge, its what it represents across the state. We dont invest in infrastructure. People here know about it, theyre angry about it. Reporter neighboring pennsylvania increased taxes and fees which helped cut the number of structurally deficient bridges in half. Theres some deterioration here. Its still a constant fight to keep bridges in shape. If we dont have any additional revenues, the be at to stay ahead of the curve, so to speak, were going to lose that in a few years. Reporter a rough road ahead, one that will cost billions to fix. There has been bipartisan support for infrastructure, you also have the president who says he wants to make a deal, and that hed be good at making an infrastructure deal. But it is so often the case, it comes down to money. How are you going to fund it, no agreement yet, and the clock is ticking. Jason, great report, Jason Carroll, thank you.
