Four democratic congresswomen of color that sparked racist chants at his own rallies, this time hes launching a fresh assault, questioning their patriotism and distorting what the four lawmakers have said. The president tweeting i dont believe the four congresswomen are capable of loving our country. They should apologize to america and israel for the horrible, hateful things they have said. They are destroying the Democratic Party, but are weak and insecure people who can never destroy our great nation. Today a top democrat and civil rights icon accused the president of stoking racial fears and division, while many republicans tried to move on from the controversy. I have never in my total of 37 years in Public Service ever heard a constituent say that they were scared of their leader. Scared of their leader . Scared of the president of the United States . Of the president of the United States, thats exactly right. Do you believe President Trump is a racist . Ive been in office 37 years. What did you say . Do you believe President Trump is a racist . I believe he is yes, no doubt about it. I would say in general the whole america love it or leave it is not a new sentiment. Back in the 60s that wasnt considered racist. I just find it very unfortunate that so many parts of our public debate right now get immediately stuck inside a racial framework, when what i would like to see is us moving toward that color blind society. I was hoping when president obama was elected, it would go a long way toward healing the racial divide. Vice president pence is also coming to President Trumps defense vowing that the president will not stay silent if another racist chant breaks out at one of his rallies. The president was very clear. Was he . That he wasnt happy about it and that if it happened again, he he might he hed make an effort to speak out about it. He will make an effort to speak out about it . Thats what hes already said. Sara westwood is in new jersey where the president is spending the weekend. Sarah, the white house sent out one of the president s most divisive advisers today to defend the president. Just what did Stephen Miller have to say . Reporter thats right, martin. A rare appearance from Stephen Miller on Fox News Sunday today. Hes not an aide thats often seen in public settings, but he is very influential behind the scenes, a former aide to then senator jeff sessions. Hes come a long way to really dabble in everything in the trump white house, but specifically his portfolio has really grown to focus on immigration. He has tried to push his nationalist agenda throughout the white house. Today on Fox News Sunday, he argued that criticism of congresswomen of color, like the four that the president has gone after over the past week, shouldnt equate racism necessarily. That you can criticize these people without the attack being racially charged. That was Stephen Millers argument on Fox News Sunday. He also argued that the word racism is thrown around far too often by democrats. Take a listen. Why shouldnt someone see all of that as racist . I think the term racist, chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by the left, democrats in this country, simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people that they disagree with, speech that they dont want to hear. The reality is that this president has been a president for all americans. All the people in that audience and millions of patriotic americans across this country are tired of being beat up, condescended to, looked down upon, talked down to by members of congress on the left in washington, d. C. , and their allies in many corridors of the media. Reporter now, miller also highlighted the president s disavowal of that racist send her back chant that broke out at his rally in North Carolina on wednesday evening. As we just heard, Vice President mike pence also highlighted the fact that President Trump has tried to distance himself from that chant, although trump has sent mixed messages, also say the crowd was incredible patriots, saying that chant came from patriotism from that crowd. Sources tell cnn that trump views his attacks on those four congresswomen as successful. Its part of a strategy to elevate the most progressive members of the Democratic Party and try to make them the face of democrats heading into 2020. Sarah westwood, thanks very much for outlining it for us. Joining us is karen and john. Welcome to both of you. Good to be here. Karen, let me start with you. I guess the president cant let it go. What do you make of how he is trying to change the narrative to turn this controversy from racism to patriotism . Well, i think thats been the president s intention for a whi while. It doesnt help him to keep trying to say he cant say racism is okay and hes not doing a very good job of convincing half of the population or more, because republicans believe this too, that what he said was racist, so hes trying to pivot and say that was never my intention, youre misreading things into it that werent there and were just talking about being loyal to the country which i think these four congresswomen are not. Its choosing to pivot and see what he said from a light that ignores much of the undercurrents of what he said in order to be able to spin this in a way that can be about him saying something that might seem president ial to his followers, when i think a lot of people not a part of his base are saying this is not up to the level of what should be coming out of the white house. John, the president is claiming that he is attacking these congresswomen because of their views, not because theyre all women of color. If thats really the case, why isnt he attacking Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who have similar views and are running to take his job in 2020 . He has attacked sanders and he has attacked warren in the past. Of course his attack on senator warren was the pocahontas, he was questioning her claim of native american heritage. Again, a racial overtone there. I mean i think what trump is trying to do is his initial attack on these congresswomen was clearly racist. He said go back to your country, your country of origin. Hes been hes vacillated between trying to dig out of it and trying to turn it into they are antisemites, thats why i attacked them, theyre unpatriotic. Hes trying to find reasons to explain what is clearly just a racist tweet or series of tweets and statements. You know, the folks on the hill, republicans on the hill are running away from this. They have turned it into now its a patriotic issue or about antisemitism but theres a double standard there. Theres republicans saying, you know, some of these democratic congresswomen have said, especially ilhan omar have said things that are antisemitic but what we say is not racist. Its kind of a crazy debate. Actually the idea that theyre going to be the face of the party is also not right. Whoever the democratic nominee will be the face of the party. I want to play for you senator cory booker because hes also running for president. Today he accused the president of using race to divide in very strong terms. Take a listen. Reality is this is a guy who is worse than a racist, hes actually using racist tropes and racial language for political gain. Hes trying to use this as a weapon to divide our nation against itself. We have a demagogue fearmongering person who is using race to divide. This is a refr derendum not on but the heart and soul of our country. Who are we going to be, and who are we going to be to each other . So, karen, if it turns into a referendum on trump and race instead of the economy, how does this controversy help hem get reelected . Well, he hopes that it plays to the feelings of many of the people in his base that feel like they are potentially worried about the fact the country is moving more towards becoming a majority minority country in many places, who are afraid of being left out and the movement of various institutions and various Economic Trends are. That plays to a largely white voter base that has supported him in his base. And so if its something that he is trying to project these sorts of messages through, using words that some people would say dog whistles, other people would say theyre undertones of racial phrases, that its a way of kind of speaking to people that might feel like they are that they miss a time in which white americans had more control of what went on in the country, which is what weve been away from progressively over the last several decades. To the extent that this is a longterm strategy for the gop, it cant be. I think youve seen many other people in the Republican Party say we need to really have a wider tent. We cant just keep getting a majority of the white voters and leaving the majority of the minority voters to the democrats to win in large numbers. So if trump thinks this is going to work as a strategy that plays well for the president ial election, fine, he may set the tone right now because hes the leader of the dpgop, but i thin theres the tension that john was talking about in the gop is really real, because its not where the rest of the party sits or views the electoral the electoral map and voters that they want to appeal to. And long term its a failing strategy. John, what do you make of the white house sending out Stephen Miller to defend the president . It was very interesting. Ive known stephen for a long team from the hill. Hes a very aggressive conservative, has very strong views on immigration. That is something that he has spoken about passionately for years. What i thought was interesting what he said, and i think youll hear this more and more is, and you heard this a little bit from senator ron johnson, that te use of the term racist is that its just thrown about too much. And i think you are going to hear this more and more in coming days and weeks and that, you know, every time anybody whos in a minority sees anything that offends them, they claim racism. This is what the white house is going to say. And that plays to some white americans who think that minorities hide behind the racial card, which is of course untrue, but they look at the Jussie Smollett incident and those kinds of incidents and say everything cant be racist. The minorities scream racism whenever they can, which i think its very interesting to see that line of attack. And then they use the antisemitism line and of course the patriotism line. But it was interesting to see miller out today. It was a good its good to see that hes you know, he is the driving force behind them on immigration in the white house and to see him defending the president today was an interesting moment. I agree. Karoun, john, good to talk to you both. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Still ahead, get rhett for Robert Muellers highly anticipated testimony.

Febreze i dont know if you knew, this the Mueller Report may be number one, it is number one on the New York Times bestseller list for paper back nonfiction. Many people may take the attitude why read the book when you can catch the movie, because thats what millions of americans will be doing wednesday. Thats when special Counsel Robert Mueller testifies in backtoback hearings on the investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. And the chairmen of both the judiciary and intelligence committees are hoping that mueller himself will be able to make the case to the American People. The report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, and we have to present or let mueller present those facts to the American People and then see where we go from there, because the Administration Must be held accountable. No president can be above the law. We want bob mueller to bring it to life, to talk about whats in that report. Its a pretty damning set of facts that involve a president ial campaign in a close race welcoming help from a hostile foreign power. Not reporting it but eagerly embracing it, building it into their campaign strategy, lying about it to cover up, then obstructing an investigation into foreign interference, again to try to cover up. Cnn legal analyst Michael Zeldin is in new york and is also Robert Muellers special assistant at the department of justice and john sale is in miami. Thank you for joining me. Michael, you obviously know mr. Mueller more than many of us do. Im wondering what can we expect . Its fairly clear that the heads of those various congressional agencies are expecting that he is going to go farther than he has, and yet he has shown a reticence he doesnt want to go beyond the report that hes already filed. What do you think . I think he will stay within the four corners of the report. What the democrats can hope for is that he will tell it in a coherent narrative, from beginning to end, as if it were a story, much in the same way that ken starr did when he testified about the Whitewater Lewinsky investigation. Ken starr brought that story to life. Mueller has the capacity to do the same if he desires to, but its not clear what his interests are. John, after your experience with watergate, what are the key questions that you think democrats should be asking . Well, i think the democrats are going to try and bring it to life. Theyll ask questions like, do you think it was left to the congress to decide whether or not he obstructed justice . Do you in fact think the president did obstruct justice . But in the leadin, somebody said why read the book when you can watch the movie, the answer is because this is not theatrics, this is not a show. I agree with michael to some extent. I think hell stay totally within the four corners of the report. I think it would be inappropriate if he didnt. I think its dangerous for a prosecutor to Start Talking about what their thoughts were, what they might have done, what they might not have done. If they do that, they have to talk about people who were not charged. That not only goes against department of justice policy, it goes against basic fairness because those people dont have an opportunity to defend themselves and defend their reputations. But michael, i mean the strategy here on the part of democrats must be that they are trying to get mueller to convince the American People that what the president did was obstruction of justice. Well, i dont know that they need him to convince the American People so much as to tell the American People what he wrote in his report, which is that he investigated ten instances which were obstructive behavior. Of those ten, six he found to be compelling and three he found to have substantial evidence of obstruction. So all mueller needs to do from the democrat standpoint is say in plain language what his report says in legalese and let the American People reach their own conclusions. He doesnt have to to johns point, he doesnt have to offer his opinion. He can just say we investigated the question of whether or not the president tried to obstruct our investigation when he ordered mcgahn to fire me. Let me explain to you what evidence there is to support that notion. Thats what mueller needs to be able to do from a democrat standpoint. John, what do you think republicans are going to counter with . Well, the republicans are going to want to show bias. Theyre going to want to say look at the emails or Text Messages between the two agents who he had working for him. I think we we had an interruption there, john. We lost you when he was trying to show bias. Oh, then i think hes going to talk about the fisa warrant and the unverified dossier, the republicans. I think bob mueller will avoid of falling into a trap of assisting the republicans or the democrats because hes a prosecutor. A prosecutors report, as good as it is, is onesided. There are a number of things. For example, the alleged thoughts about firing bob mueller. Well, in watergate they werent just talking about it, i was one of the people who were fired. So there is a difference and there are two sides to everything. The Mueller Report is not like moses coming down with two tablets, the two volumes. Its a prosecutors report, which has never been tested by an ajudicatory body and in the report they reference that in a footnote. So its one side. I think hes just going to say the report speaks for itself. Well, theres going to be a lot of people listening as he says that and we will wait and see. Michael, thank you for joining us. John, you as well. Appreciate both of you. Of course cnn will have special coverage of Robert Muellers testimony before congress. It starts wednesday at 8 00 a. M. Right here on cnn.

For the fourth day in a row, millions are under the grip of an oppressive heat wave thats blanketing much of the country. More than 90 Million People are under heat warnings that stretch from oklahoma to maine. While a cold front has brought relief to the midwest, cities like new york and washington are facing heat indices as high as 110 today. Meteorologist jean norman is tracking this in the weather center. Millions are probably hoping this is going to end soon, right . Thats right, martin. For a lot of people this will be the last day, but for those like those in the nations capital, its going to be at least tuesday before we stop seeing temperatures like this. This is a live look at the white house. 107 the heat index right now, a temperature of 98 degrees. Its that combination of the temperature and the humidity that really is becoming a big problem for a lot of folks. 105 new york, 99 charleston, 97 st. Louis. These again are the feelslike numbers where that combination becomes very, very difficult. Lots of people still under a heat warning or a heat advisory, primarily along the east coast. A couple of spots in the midwest. Because of that cool front theyre getting some relief. Jfk airport, they broke a record yesterday for the temperature of 99 degrees. Today the record is 99, theyll get close to that. Theyre already at 95 so a few more degrees to go before they break that record. But what about that relief . Its coming. Look at this pocket of cooler air and milder air thats going to make its way into the eastern half of the country by monday and certainly by tuesday. So like that old Wilson Phillips song, martin, hold on for one more day in boston and new york, because my monday youll be in the 80s. D. C. Gets into the 70s by the time we get into tuesday. So there is some relief coming, its just a couple of days away. The oppressive temperatures have really been a problem for a lot of people. Most are trying to do the best they can to just stay indoors, crank that ac and stay out during the hottest part of the day, which is right now. You know that song will be stuck in our head for the rest of the day. One more day. All the way back to 1990, i looked it up. Gene, thanks very much. And it is not just people who are, of course, trying to beat the heat. Zoos around the country are doing what they can to help animals get through the heat wave. We want to show you some photos and videos. In st. Louis, three hippos were treated to a special summer treat, frozen watermelon. In toledo, a rhino stormed its way into a cooldown in a lazy river.

The operator of a British Oil Tanker seized by iran says they have made a formal request to visit the 23 detained crew members. There has been no official response from iran on that request, but officials have said the crew is healthy and remains onboard. Iran seized the ship last week in the critical shipping area in the strait of hormuz. It was in apparent retaliation after britain captured an iranian tanker it accused of trying to smuggle oil to syria. Our Matthew Chance is in the United Arab Emirates near the strait of hormuz. Matthew, were getting this dramatic audio of what the communication was from the seized ship. What exactly are we learning . Reporter yeah, well were learning a little bit more at least. Theres already been dramatic video of the iranian operation to seize that British Oil Tanker. Now there are these dramatic audio recordings. Looking at them, you can hear the iranian navy confront the british flagged oil tanker. You can also hear a british warship attempting to intervene and to warn the iranian authorities about its obligations under international law. Take a listen. If you obey, you will be safe. I will reiterate that you are conduct as you are conducting transit passage in a recognized international strait, under international law, your passage must not be impaired. No challenge is intended. No challenge is intended. I want to inspect the ship for security reasons, over. Reporter wants to inspect for security reasons, thats what the iranian navy said. But the suspicion amongst british officials and many others is that this is actually an act of retaliation following the capture or the seizure earlier this month by British Forces of a vessel containing iranian oil, which is believed to be in violation of eu sanctions by shipping that oil to syria. So this is retribution on the part of the iranians. And so if that is the reasoning, what do they hope to get out of all this . What is their goal . Reporter well, i mean i think what their goal is, is to secure the release of their property in the form of that iranian oil, which has been seized by the british authorities off the coast of gibralter. What they have got now is a very potent bargaining chip. They can essentially enter into negotiations and the british authorities, remember, say they want to end this through diplomacy, not through military means. But the iranians can now enter into the negotiations with britain. Regardless of the legitimacy of the capture or the seizure of this british tanker, they can essentially say, look, well give you back your ship if you give us back our oil. I think it might be as simple as that. Matthew chance, thank you very much for that reporting from the United Arab Emirates.

For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Moments ago, 2020 contender senator Bernie Sanders wrapped up a busy weekend of campaigning at a rally in iowa. As the vermont senator tries to focus on policies like medicare for all, his competition is hitting him hard over complaints of how much he is paying his staffers. Despite a Campaign Push for a 15 minimum wage. This morning 2020 candidate, senator cory booker, told our dana bash that his Campaign Goes above and beyond that. Weve said in our campaign that were not only going to pay our Campaign Staff that, but were going to pay interns as well. Im very proud of the house we have. Not only do we pay our Campaign Staff wages that reflect what my values are, but we actually make sure that we have inclusive campaigns, diverse campaigns administrat. So its 15 an hour minimum . Or more than that, yes. Ryan nobles is at that rally in ft. Madison, iowa. Ryan, any response from sanders in iowa this weekend from all of this . Reporter not directly, martin. In fact i asked senator sanders about this specific issue yesterday and he just did not want to talk about this topic. Hed much prefer to be focused on these big issues at the focus of his campaign, such as medicare for all and expanding access to health care across the country and dealing with economic inequality. But to your point this has become something that the other 2020 candidates are now starting to weigh in on. Vice President Biden yesterday informing us as to what he pays his staff. As you played there, senator booker saying that he pays his staff 15 an hour. Now, the Sanders Campaign would point out that they too go above and beyond, this is not a Traditional Campaign in terms of compensation. That their employees get full health benefits, 100 of their premiums paid for. They also get parental leave and gas cards, so they believe that the contract that they have negotiated with their union is a good one, but that doesnt mean there still arent complications. They are in the process of that negotiating process. The only time senator sanders has directly responded to this was in an interview with the Des Moines Register where he said this is something the you know union and his campaign are negotiating and he wished his staffers would not go outside and bring these concerns to the media. As a result, martin, this is something hell have to deal with and until resolved will continue to dog him in his campaign. On thursday we learned that Bernie Sanders will share the debate stage with progressive rival Elizabeth Warren. Some voters in iowa appear to be wavering between the two of them. So what are they saying . Reporter yeah, its interesting, martin. I spent a lot of the weekend trying to figure out exactly where iowa voters stand as it relates to this upcoming debate. Whats interesting is that having Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the debate stage at the same time presents a bit of a quandary for the two of them because they both are trying to fill this progressive lane of politics. They actually admire each other quite a bit and go to great pains not to knock the other one down. I was there when a reporter asked senator sanders about being on the stage with Elizabeth Warren and he responded that we should expect intelligence, meaning that he also respects senator warren. I did ask one voter in iowa who caucused for Bernie Sanders four years ago about where he is thinking about this process and this is what he had to say. You know, im leaning towards senator sanders or maybe senators harris or warren but still keeping my options open. Who did you like four years ago . Bernie. Why are you dithering then . Because youve got more options . Yeah, there are more options. There are some people that say we need a more fresh face in the democratic field as far as that goes. Like i said, keeping the options open. I want to see how the rest of the debates play out and how bernie performs compared to the rest of them. Reporter and whats interesting, martin, theres certainly some conventional wisdom inside the beltway that its an either or choice when it comes to Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. When you talk to both campaigns, they dont view it as such. They view the progressive wing of the Democratic Party as a unit thats going to be involved in this primary process right up until the very end, whether it ends up with Bernie Sanders at the end of that process or Elizabeth Warren remains to be seen. They dont see a whole lot of value in knocking the other one down to help themselves. They feel those progressive issues are whats going to win this primary ultimately and personal attacks will not get them anywhere. Well see if that holds up during the next debate. Ryan nobles, thanks very much. You dont want to miss two big nights of the democratic president ial debates. They are live from detroit on july 30th and 31st, only here on cnn.

Miss michigan world america is now without a crown over racist tropes she tweeted over the last couple of years. Kathy zhu tweeted the pageant stripped her of her title after comments about muslim women and blackonblack violence from 2017 and 2018 surfaced. Natasha chen is following this story for us. She has since deleted those tweets but still stands by her statements. So whats she saying today . Reporter martin, she appeared on a local fox tv station in detroit, michigan, this morning to defend a couple of the tweets that are considered controversial. I want to read a couple of them here. There is one that she was tweeting in regard to an event at a Florida School where she attended at the time saying there is a try a hijab on booth at my college campus. So you are telling me that its now a fashion accessory and not a religious thing, or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under islam . Now, she has since transferred to the university of michigan, but she told that panel on the local news station this morning that she was not expelled from that Florida School, that she since transferred to the university of michigan after this incident, after this tweet. Now, theres another tweet that she also defended this morning. It says did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks . Fix problems within your own community before blaming others. That tweet has since been deleted, and she explained this morning that that was in response to someone elses tweet. She said that she was responding to someone talking about stop killing black people in reference to Police Shootings and black lives matter. What youre seeing right there is her post about why she feels she was stripped of her crown. She tweeted a screen shot of an email telling her that her posts were racist and insensitive, offensive, and she feels that its because of her conservative views. Zhu has been very vocal about her support for President Trump. You see her wearing a make America Great hat. This was a pageant within the Miss World Organization which President Trump has never been affiliated with. He was formerly an owner of the Miss Universe pageant, which is separate. So, martin, this contestant here, miss zhu, says that the Miss World Organization should have vetted her and her social media more carefully before she was crowned, martin. Has that organization responded in any way . Reporter well, we have reached out to the state director as well as a couple of members of the National Team of the Miss World Organization.

Researchers are unearthing thousands of bones in two vatican crypts hoping to find answers in the search for a teenager missing for other three decades. Reporter the forensics teams ventured below the old floors of the vaticans cemetery in search for new answers on saturday. A new investigation for the search for a 15yearold girl who mysteriously went missing 36 years ago led officials to two underground tombs where they unearthed hundreds of bones for examination. The latest tombs are adjacent to two others that were searched last week. The tomb of the angel pointed to the tombs of two 19th century german princesses. But when the tombs were open, no traces of human remains could be found. The reason explained by the vatican is that the princesses romaines may have been transferred during the 60s and 70s. The girls younger brother who has been step through every step of the investigation says its his duty to look for her. The children of a vatican clerk, the two of them used to run in the gardens as though it was their playground. Nearby lies the cemetery that may hold the painful answers to his lifelong search. He told cnn to think if she was buried there all these years, just 200 meters from our house, it would be devastating. His sisters disappearance sparked conspiracy theories that included everything from italian mobsters and International Terrorists to the highest powers at the vatican. No evidence has been found to support any of the rumors. The family has met with the last three popes, but this investigation is the first time the vatican has allowed such a search on their property. The new cooperation from the vatican has given the family faith that theyre not alone in their search for answers. While the recently unearthed bones cannot be considered evidence just yet, further studies next week will help steer the direction for everyone involved in this puzzling mystery.
