CNNW CNN Tonight With Don Lemon September 14, 2019

This adam schiff press release that the dni has a credible claim that has something to do with intelligence and a concern and hes supposed to have hes not getting it . I dont know what it is, but thats a big deal. You saw we had the vape company guy on here. You know, thats going to be a big deal. We have to figure it out. It is weird, don, that the president , in less than 24 hours, changed his tune. Well, he did the same thing with background checks, snrm remember . He changed his tune on that. If i can just get back to the water, regardless of what caused it, how it was caused, manmade or whatevr happened, we know from flint what happens when we dont protect our especially our Drinking Water in this country. We know the negative effects. It would seem to me we would do everything in our power to try to protect that. It depends on who youre looking out for. If youre looking out for the people who have the power to put the money in your pocket, do you something just like this. Bolo, be on the lookout. Youre not done with closing arguments, are you . I didnt have time to do them tonight. I didnt have time. Okay. I asked your show for a little bit of time. They said don says no way. I did. Not to let people in to how it works. Careful. We have the rest of friday the 13th. I wish you the best. All right. See you soon. Have a great weekend. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. You could call this a tale of two events. Democrats taking the debate stage in houston last night while the president , true to form, unable to give up the spotlight. The president was serving up a heaping plate of red meat to House Republicans at an event in baltimore. And the contrast between those two events really, really stunning. Democrats having a substantive debate about one of the most important issues in the country today, health care and how to pay for it. I think the obamacare worked. I think the way we add to it, replace everything thats been cut, add a public option, guarantee that everyone will be able to have affordable assurance, number one. Number two, i think we should be in a position of taking a look at what costs are. The answer is on medicare for all, costs are going to go up for wealthier individuals and costs are going to go up for giant corporations. But for hard working families across this country, costs are going to go down and thats how it should work, under medicare for all in our Health Care System. Joe said that medicare for all would cost over 30n 30 trillion. Thats right. Status quo over 50 years will be 50 trillion. Medicare for all is the most Cost Effective approach to providing health care to every man, woman, and child in this country. I who wrote the damn bill, if i may say so while bernie wrote the bill, i read the bill. On page 8, on page 8 of the bill, it says that we will no longer have private insurance as we know it. And that means that 149 million americans will no longer be able to have their current insurance. The problem, senator sanders, with that damn bill that you wrote and that senator warren backs is that it doesnt trust the american people. I trust you to choose what makes the most sense for you. Not my way or the highway. It is each of the democrats trying to make his or her case on health care. The president , for the billionth time mocked john mccain for voting against the socalled skinny repeal of obamacare. We would have had health care done except for we had one little surprising vote late in the evening. Lets not forget. This is the administration that is backing a lawsuit that would overturn obamacare and eliminate protections for people with preexisting conditions. This administration is doing that. The democrats giving senator john maiccain who lost his batt with brain cancer a shout out. The late great john mccain at about 2 00 in the morning killed his attempt to take health care from millions of people in this country. I was in afghanistan with john mccain two years ago this past summer. I think it may have been senator mccains last trip before he was sick. And then theres immigration. The democrats saying this. Were not going to give up daca. Were not going to give up protections for anybody. A system right now that cannot tell the difference in the threat posed by a terrorist, a criminal, and a 12yearold girl is not a system that is keeping us safer and it is not serving our values. This country has been a magnet for Human Capital for generations. If we lose that, we lose something integral to our continued success and that is where i would lead as president. Begin with those more than 1 million dreamers. Make them u. S. Citizens right now in this, their true home country, and extend that to their parents, their sisters and their brothers. So while they were debating reforms to make a fair pathway to citizenship and to end the inhumane policy of family separation, the president was fear mongering. You know, we have ms 13 coming in. These are the toughest people youve ever seen, animals. If you use the term animal, look, nancy pelosi attacked me because i called them animals. Remember that . And while the democrats were talking about the Climate Crisis we will address the catastrophic crisis of Climate Change and transform our Energy System away from fossil fuel. I refuse to postpone any longer taking on Climate Change. And leading the world in taking on Climate Change. We saw it at the g7. The leaders of some of the greatest power and economies of the world sitting to talk about one of the greatest challenges in the world, Climate Change. There was literally an empty chair where American Leadership could have been. On day one i will get us back into the international Climate Change agreement. On day two, i will bling back the clean power roles president obama had worked on. On day three i will bring back the gas mileage standards. By 2028 cut all Carbon Emissions from new buildings, by 2030 Carbon Emissions from cars and by 2035 all Carbon Emissions from the manufacturer of electricity. This is a problem that was created by human behaviors. We can change our behaviors in a way that saves our planet. Donald trumps America First policy is actually an america isolated, an america alone policy from trade to battling china to the Global Crisis of Climate Change. So thats the democrats talking about Climate Change. And the president was touting Americas Energy industry and also saying this. And then they talk about plastic straws. I said what about the plate . What about the wrapper thats made out of a much tougher plastic . What about all the other plastic . We havent gotten to that. Just straws. Thats the only thing were worried about. And this. The light bulb. People said whats with the light bulb . I said heres the story and i looked at it. The bulb that were being forced to use, number one, to me most importantly, the lights no good. I always look orange. That after the Trump Administration rolled back standards on Energy Efficient bulbs earlier this month and did somebody say windmills . Did you happen to be watching the democrat debate and the wind isnt blowing, youre not going to see them, charlie, what the hell happened to this debate . He says darling, the wind isnt blowing, the god damn windmill stopped. Oh, yes, windmills. Let us not forget that donald trump battled scottish officials over a plan to build a wind farm within sight of his golf resort in aberdeen and hes been complaining about wind power ever since. Youd be doing windmills. In times of war, you can blowup those windmills. They fall down real quick. You can blowup the windmills. Boom, boom, boom. Bing, thats the end of that windmill. If the birds dont kill it first. The environmentalists, we like windmills. What about the thousands of birds theyre killing. Just like a killing field of birds. If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 in value. Try going to the bottom of a windmill some day. When the wind doesnt blow, they tend not to do too well. Is the wind blowing today . Id like to watch television. They say the noise causes cancer. Tell me that one. Maybe we should do windmill 101, figure out exactly how they work. Quite a contrast between what democrats said last night and what the president said. Quite a difference. The question is, what will that difference mean to voters . To you in 2020 . President ial candidate Julian Castro getting a lot of attention for his attack to joe biden on that debate stage. He says he wouldnt do anything differently. Well, guess what . There he is. Im going to ask him why live next. Whos dog is this . Its my special friend, antonio. His luxurious fur calms my nerves when im worried about moving into our new apartment. Why dont we just ask geico for help with renters insurance . I didnt know geico helps with renters insurance.

Covered by medicare and most major insurers democratic president ial candidate Julian Castro says he was not attacking joe biden when they were arguing about Health Care Policy during last nights debate. Watch. The argument im proposing is medicare for all medicare for choice. If you want medicare, if you lose the job from your insurance from your employer, you automatically can buy in to this. You have no preexisting condition can stop you from buying in. You get covered, period. The difference between what i support and what you support is that you require them to opt in. And i would not require them to opt in. You do not have to buy in. They do not have to buy in. You just said that two minutes ago. You just said two minutes ago that they would have to buy in. You said they would have to buy in. You dont have to buy in. If you qualify are you forgetting you what said just two minutes ago . I mean, i cant believe that you said two minutes ago that they had to buy in and now youre saying they dont have to buy in. Youre forgetting that. Julian castro joins me now. He was secretary of housing and urban development under president barack obama. Good evening, secretary. Thank you for joining us. I was looking at your face here in this studio as that was playing. What are you thinking as you were watching that . Well, we had a lively debate about different approaches to health care. Ultimately these debates are about making clear how we differ on these issues and im glad that you played that clip, don, because last night a lot of journalists jumped on this false conclusion, i dont know if they hadnt seen the transcript or hadnt played the video that Vice President biden had not said that you have to buy in under part of his plan and then i pointed out as you saw in the clip that part of his plan is that you have to buy in and that would leave 10 Million People uncovered, that and other parts of the plan. He denied it and thats when i said are you forgetting that you just said that people have to buy in . Some folks have suggested somehow that was a personal attack. It was not a personal attack. I have a lot of respect for Vice President bide zbln. Lets talk about the facts and then well talk about the personal attack. These are the facts. Theres one that calls it what you said about him mostly false. Cnn rates your claim partly correct. Bidens plan would require most individuals to sign up or buy in though if they can afford it, right . The buyin isnt automatic. One rates it mostly false. The difference is much less than you suggest. Theyre saying basically you didnt have your facts right there. Theyre incorrect and cnn said also that i got the 10 million figure right, that his plan would leave 10 Million People behind and also as you just read that actually part of his plan does require people to buy in. Not if you were on medicaid, but if you have an income thats a little bit higher than that. So there are people who would have to buy in. And thats what i was pointing out. The Vice President made a big deal yesterday of trying to press senator warren and senator sanders on how theyre going to pay their medicare for all plan, but when i turned around and asked him about the 10 Million People hes leaving behind in his plan, all of a sudden theres something wrong with that. Theres nothing wrong with that. This is not about him. Its not about me. Its about the american people. Its about whats going to happen when we try and make our Health Care System better. Im going to fight for the most Vulnerable People in this campaign. Ive done that since i started my career in public service. I will fight that every single day. Im glad we had that exchange. So the Biden Campaign called it a cheap shot. What do you say to that . It was not personal. It was about Health Care Policy. Look, if i had said if i had said the same thing, did you forget what youre saying to cory booker or if i said that to pete buttigieg, would folks be asking me these questions . This is not about me. Its not about what i said. This is the media putting a spin on those words and it was obvious why i asked that because he denied that. It was not intended as a personal attack. It was stating the obvious about why he denied something he had just said. Ill let the media reports and headlines and writing, ill let that speak for itself. But for the folks at home, the folks at home also read it that way without a media spin. They were simply watching live, s responding live on social media and responding today to people who were polling and they are saying its not just the media. They are saying they thought it was a cheap shot and you were talking about the Vice President s age and his memory that you were calling into question. So how do you respond not to the media but to the people at home who took it that way, whether maybe it was your intention or not your intention . Thats certainly how people took it and those are the people who will be going to the polls to vote. I dont think thats accurate. I saw a lot of people today, whether it was on social media or, you know, just out there that took it the way that it was meant, which is to point out that he had denied that his plan would leave out 10 Million People. So this is the conversation about the most important issue out there. Health care. It affects everybody. And people are always going to have different opinions during these debates. Thats why theyre debates. Were going to get up there and debate. It was not personal. I have a lot of respect for Vice President biden. Ive known him for years. We served together as colleagues in the obama administration. When i get on that debate stage, i am going to defend the vision that i have for this country because im going to go out there and represent the people who need our help the most and so yeah, im going to make the differences clear. So just to be Crystal Clear here, were you trying to say biden is too old to be president . No, i was not. Ive answered that question many times. The other candidateins in this race have been asked that question specifically from reporters of whether we think the Vice President , you know, is up in years or not shouldnt be in this campaign and i have consistently said thats not the case. And i say the same thing now. The voters are going to decide which one among us is best fit to take on donald trump. Whey will say, though, and what your network, cnn, confirmed today in a headline that said Julian Castro is correct about Vice President biden leaving out 10 Million People is his health care was deficient. That wasnt what your argument was about. But the overall fact check on cnn says it was partly correct, not that it was completely correct. Your argument wasnt about that. It was about buying in and on the buyin part it says that castro used a questionable distinction to charge that biden had said opposing things within two minutes. But thats an exaggeration at best. The statement has an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. So this fact we rated m
