Out front next, trump returns the favor backing jim jordan in the race to be the next speaker of the house. Someone whos leading the way on trying to impeach biden and one of the biggest backers of trumps rigged election claims. Plus, breaking news. An appeals judge denying trumps appeal to halt the fraud case. Michael cohen will be out front tonight. Putins latest strike killing a young boy. Tonight there is a threat of more to come. Lets go out front. Good evening, im erin burnett. Out front tonight, Trump Playing King Maker Backing congressman jim jordan and his bid to become the next house speaker. Jim jordan has a long history of doing trumps work for him. In fact, jordan is now one of the heads of the biden Impeachment Inquiry, something that trump, of course, made clear absolutely had to happen. They should investigate the bidens. I call them corrupt joe. Crooked joe biden. I believe
A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Admitted to lying about and cheating. It doesnt get more clear than that. Is manaforts bet at this Point Go For Pardon from the president . Or is it what, have people think gates is a worse liar . Whats the strategy . I mean, the pardon play is a lot of moves out here. So i think the strategy seems to be to run down gates to say, you know, i was just a patsy. I wasnt that hands on, which was contradicted by his own bookkeeper and i was the victim of gates nefarious activity. The problem is here, first of all, everybodys dirty. This is only the best people, erin. As we say. Only the best people. But it also really does show the way that the International Political consultant class really has become a grift. These folks, really, they talk about populism, they use it as a political strategy, but they are making more money than most working folks will ever see in their life in a year and still go broke. Thats how corrupt and incompete
On every days, ordinary days, thats when trust is built. In a crisis, its hard to build trust. But i think the discussions are important. Especially, because my brother, were dealing in a vacuum. Ideally, the tone should be set at the top. And you and i should be talking about what leaderships doing, can leadership deliver on this . Those are some big promises they made. Will they be able to deliver . Will the communities believe it . When will it happen . And were not there because the promises were hearing from the top are some of the scariest rhetoric we heard. I got one thing i want to ask you before i let you go. And and no, im letting you go. Youre on my clock right now. Before i take my butt home. Jedi mind trick so i could get out of here. I was just going to say dont do such a good job, you had me up late and im exhausted. Im up late and up early and, you know, havent had a day off. So help a brother out. Just dont do such a great job because you make me watch you when you you
And. The focus was really 100 on the hospitals. And the Nursing Homes, i always feel that were sort of an afterthought. Thousands of patients were sent to Nursing Homes in new york, as they recovered from coronavirus. But could it have been prevented . While many parts of the world look to reopen, the number of new infections is soaring in others. Theres now more than 5 million 200,000 reported globally, according to Johns Hopkins university. The u. S. Remains the worsthit country, and is fast approaching 100,000 total deaths. Its memorial day weekend in the states. Many beaches have been reopened for the holiday, leading to fears that increased activity could cause more infections. More people could also return to church pews this weekend, after a demand from President Donald Trump that houses of worship be allowed to reopen. I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. If theres any question, theyre going to have to call me but theyre not going
That, as the president of the United States marks the holiday with solemn moments at arlington and at ft. Mchenry, in baltimore. That is a solemn president , the teleprompter president , the one who shows up, from time to time. But the real President Trump, the unfiltered president , as always, comes out on twitter. As this president is spending memorial day weekend lobbing threats, conspiracy theories, and insults, with more and more americans dying, every seingle day, from the coronavirus. The president makes fun of joe biden. Of him being a real man, being a responsible adult. Makes fun of him for wearing a mask. Retweeting this from a fox news host. A mask, that is really one of the only ways that americans can protect themselves now. A mask, just like ones millions of americans have been wearing for weeks. Millions of you. A mask that the president is afraid to be seen in and still refuses to wear in public. And, then, there is the president s extremely irresponsible bullying and
