Donald trump and Hillary Clinton making news on the Campaign Trail Tonight. This is cnn tonight, im don lemon. Tonight three talk show hosts, john fred riericks, a trump supporter and mr. Madison, are you all right . Hello to all of you. Joe first to you. Listen to Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser here in new york tonight. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump Supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Right . The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. But the other basket of people who feel the economy has let them down, Nobody Caress about them. Do you think that she should have said that, joe, basket of deplorables, racists, sexists i think in the last segment someone should she shouldnt have said half or i dont know if she should have said one third or you could put ten people. There have been some deplorable people that even donald trump has had to denounce. We had to force him to denounce david duke and other
president for my second book. amicable interview. but in the end, i asked him some tough questions yet again. he didn t like it. declined to answer the questions and for a flash of the moment i saw that look on his face. you know, there s an old saying a picture tells a thousand words. steve: right. one word. angry. look at that. he s angry. and i don t blame him. this is an anemic, absurd racketeering case. brian: game on, prosecutors. local prosecutors around the country mean in red states are going to say. . brian: underhanded, i got a problem with this. going to watch these cases go back and forth. it doesn t end here. that shouldn t happen. two wrongs don t make a right. it doesn t give you a right to abuse the system of justice for partisan reasons, which is exactly what this is. a hyper partisan local district attorney who wants to elevate
result of the trial is, and then i ll tell you how to feel. there are a lot of republicans in congress railing about two standards of justice, they say. when you look at the conduct that donald trump has been accused of, is there any part of you that thinks that it s true, the justice department is being weaponized against donald trump for political reasons? you know, i ve been an opponent of the special counsel concept as long as i can remember, and i m still against it. but in this case, nobody can say the department of justice is weaponized. i think the special counsel has proceeded independently. i happen to think that s not a good thing, constitutionally, but it s simply false to say the department of justice has been weaponized. it is possible, and i think seriously open to question, whether hunter biden has been treated in a similar way, but as my mother always used to say, two wrongs don t make a right. you don t make up for hunter
law in furtherance of that belief. it gives you a right to challenge it, to speak about it publicly, to challenge it in court, to even debate about it, but you can t then ask people to violate their oath of office and, for example, pressure mike pence to not scertify the election or to ask the states to find votes that don t exist to make it up or to ask fake slates of electors to come out and forge documents, saying we re the real ones and in one state, they said, i m sitting in the capitol as opposed to, in the basement of the republican national committee. those are lies on documents on behalf of donald trump, so even if he believed it to be true, it doesn t give you a right to use that belief to commit a crime. so, i think this indictment will still stand regardless of whether you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he i mean, he believes how many how many lies does he tell in a day? i think there was a new york
corruptly. in other words, whether or not he knew, deep down, the fact that he lost the election. you worked closely with him. do you think donald trump knew that he lost the election? there s no doubt in my mind that he knew he lost the election, but that s not really an issue that anybody needs to worry about, because the question is, his lawyers don t have to prove anything. they simply have to induce reasonable doubt in the minds of one or more jurors to get a hung jury. and if people think that he is being railroaded, if they don t believe the prosecution case or they believe whatever case trump puts on, and this results in a hung jury, in either of the two federal cases, i think we re in for real trouble. that s i just think people need to understand that. don t get too exuberant because of the indictment. as people got exuberant over the impeachment, tell me what the
