don? >> brian, you and i both know after having covered these thin things, i'm glad they turned around because the worst thing you can do is try to drive through that water. you don't know how deep it is. and i'm glad they didn't do it. >> absolutely, don. that's a good point you're making because you're always warned, always told that's what kills people in hurricanes. it's the water and people driving through standing or rushing water on roadways because they just misjudge how deep it is, how fast it's moving and how fast a surge like this can come up. this has come up fairly quickly. it is not too deep yet but it gets a lot deeper just behind me. it's just the way people misjudge this kind of thing. it's killing them in situations like this. don't drive through standing or rushing water on the roadway. but again, if you're making the decision to get out this late and that's what you're going to try to risk, your life is in your own hands. >> all right. brian todd, nice work there. we'll

don? over to you, my friend. >> reporter: hey, brooke, how are you. listen, it is crazy. you get big spurts of rain and gusts and come through unexpectedly at any moment. sometimes it is still like it is now and a second later, you get a buildup. the concern is flooding, water, rain, of course because it is just sitting on the carolinas and spinning and drawing all of this water. as you said, 650,000 people really without power across the carolinas. most of those we're told in north carolina. there are 126 shelters all over this region. as you said, 20,000 people spent the night elsewhere, not in their homes, at least those in the shelters now. we have been seeing active rescues across north and south carolina. they're continuing to go on now. we have been seeing flooding as well. here's the thing, when we're out on the beach, there's a long row of hotels here, miles and miles of hotels. that tends to block the wind. you don't see how much the wind is blowing. then when you get away from t

i am don lemon. it is 11:00 p.m. here on the east coast live with the breaking news for you tonight. we are learning the white house has a list of 12 prime suspects in the resistance op-ed investigation. president trump ranted about it at his rally tonight in montana saying, nobody knows who the -- he is or she. and the list of officials who say it wasn't me growing, more than two dozen and counting. that as trump rally -- trump ally, senator rand paul suggested using a polygraph to out the anonymous staffer. so, let's bring in now plark mckinnon, the executive producer of the circus showtime advisor to george w. bush and john mccain and cnn contr

i'm don lemon. thank you for tuning in. president trump rallying in montana tonight campaigning against his archenemy, democratic senator jon tester. >> we'll be defending your social security which the democrats will destroy. and we're going to be defending your medicare and protecting the safety net. >> that comes as the already fiery confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh are continuing at this moment. just think about all of the really unprecedented things that have happened just within the last couple days. just over the last couple days. okay? there's a lot that's happened in the past. we're going to focus over the last couple days. things that we never thought that we'd see. the most explosive was that "the new york times" op-ped by an anonymous senior official of the trump administration. saying that he, or she, is working from within the administration to thwart parts of the president's agenda. more and more on that in a moment, and more and more members of trump's

i'm don lemon. a hurricane is battering the carolinas. we've seen so far five people confirmed dead and there is concern about catastrophic flooding all over. wind gusts of up to 70, 80 miles an hour. there it is. there's that beach, chris, shrinking. i don't know if we have the overhead camera. but as you were counting the waves, i see one, two, three, four, five. so it's up now. what does the ocean tell you about what's happening out there at sea. christopher, are you there in. >> yes, i am. we've had a wind shift in the pattern with florence. now that it's a tropical system, it doesn't matter for us in terms of what we're worried about because the duration is more important than the intensity. now the wind is coming from the seaside onto shore. so it's going to act as a tu turbocharge effect. it's also high tide as you mentioned. so you have several more hours of the natural tide cycle already bringing water onto shore, turbocharged by 50, 60-mile-an-hour gusting winds, maybe even more. and the t

and you're right about that, don. so i was just saying this morning after the hurricane eye passed over the beach, it looked like that area did fairly well. unfortunately, it was the backside of the storm that seemed to have a stronger impact on the area. that's a barrier island. first responders say they had seen some structural damage but they were really seeing inundation of water coming from the international coastal waterway and also coming from the atlantic ocean. that ocean was blasting up against the shore there like a buzzsaw. so there's been tremendous beach erosion there unfortunately. on top of that, power failure. in that area, they're only just now beginning to assess. it won't be till tomorrow they can figure out the damage. then the drive from there to wilmington is only ten miles but exceedingly treacherous. power is out throughout the area. traffic lights don't work. there are some police at some of these intersections. for the most part, it's whoever gets to the intersection first. major trees are d

don: no. i think your question is a good one in the sense that for campaigns, we've talked about this a lot, you have lots of people coming in and out. that's one. people who join a campaign and pop off. i think that by itself creates social security risk at times. -- security risk, at times. if you have someone only affiliated with your office campaign and are suddenly gone, you want to make sure they are removed and don't have permission. if you have a single account from which you're managing and everyone is logging into it that by itself is more insecure because the systems have less to go on. somebody working over here logging in and someone over there and all sharing a password by the very nature it is less secure. simply taking basic steps -- those are things we've seen across the board on campaigns. they are the greatest start-ups. people coming in and out and moving fast. managing these things smartly using your real account, turning , on all the features we all have are going to be t

>>> i'm don lemon. a little past midnight here in myrtle beach, south carolina where you can see the wind is whipping up. tropical storm florence battering the carolinas out. i have the wind meter to see what the wind speed is and the storm gusts. really now up to 25, 26, almost 30 miles per hour wind gusts. this is the biggest we've seen pretty much so far here in south carolina, here where we are i should say in myrtle beach. and then up the beach just a little bit, about 10, 15 miles we'll find our nick watt. i don't know what the wind is like where you are, nick, or the conditions are like but they've deteriorated here over the past hour or so. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, don. i mean we're about 15 miles up the coast from you and it is similar. you know, all day we were getting battered by winds coming from inland, coming off-shore, and actually, you know, this morning about 5:00 a.m. i was trying to grab a few hours of sleep and the wind was so strong it was actually moving our house, which is

but if this is true, don, the jig is up. no one in mueller's path so far has been able to escape you know, the investigative team and evidence put against them. and i think now the burden shifts if this is indeed true that we would have a ninth conviction with 26 other individuals and corporations charged. burden shifts to the president. the question that we have to ask is, why shouldn't the american people believe that the president is as corrupt as everyone around him? where i come from, the fish rots from the head down. it sure looks like the president had quite a corrupt team helping him on campaign and working with him in the administration. >> so congressman, what is in it for mueller to strike a deal at this point? >> well, you know, it's not always just cooperation or go all the way to trial. if you can get a guilty plea and you know a significant sentence, you avoid having to devote the resources to that trial and an investigation like this, there's a number of other indicted defendants and you want to put your focu

don: no. i think your question is a good one in the sense that for campaigns, we've talked about this a lot, you have lots of people coming in and out. that's one. people who join a campaign and pop off. i think that by itself creates social security risk at times. if you have someone only affiliated with your office campaign and are suddenly gone, you want to make sure they are removed and don't have permission. if you have a single account from which you're managing and everyone is logging into it that by itself is more insecure because the systems have less to go on. somebody working over here logging in and someone over there and all sharing a password by the very nature it is less secure. simply taking basic steps -- those are things we've seen across the board on campaigns. they are the greatest start-ups. people coming in and out and moving fast. managing these things smartly using your real account, turning on all the features we all have are going to be the best. that applies for ever

>> that's right, don. i can actually reiterate what anderson cooper said earlier sqand that bright flash of blue was a transformer. it sounded like someone fired a shotgun off right next to my car. conditions here definitely started to deteriorate more. winds are picking up. wave got heavy rains coming through. and i'm watching the radar on the western eyewall, and it's going to be very intense, and definitely daybreak i think when things are going to be their most intense with the storm surge. and over the next few days the rainfall accumulates, that's going to be the big danger is flash flooding. >> yeah, this is probably, you know, the strongest winds that we have gotten thus far. i mean nothing like what they're experiencing in other places. but i'm going to ask you the same question i asked your colleague. from experience when a storm sits like this just off the coast and is picking up so much water, what does your experience tell you? >> my experience tells me we're definitely going to have issues wi

there were three people inside, don. we got here shortly after the first person had been extracted, a man we were told survived, but almost didn't make it. we were told they brought in a surgical team in to amputate his leg that was pinned in there, but they moved some objects, were able to hold objects in place and pull him out. he was extracted and they were able to take him for medical care. we don't know his condition. he apparently survived this. after that as we witnessed for hours, crews were working exhaustively for several hours, trying to extract the mother and child, trying to save them, cutting through the tree, through brick, through other parts of the house. saw them removing a set of dresser drawers, tossing it aside, trying to get to them. i spoke to a battalion chief a couple hours ago when it was unclear what their conditions were, i said are you communicating with them, he said not at this time. he had a grim look on his face. got a sense of what was going on. again, they were working so frantically an

i'm don lemon. so the president of the united states is a man who prides himself on being a winner, a man who brags about his strength and being a fighter. a man who never met a red carpet he didn't like and basks in praise and cheers. well, today his bubble was burst on the world stage, literally. >> today i stand before the united nations general assembly to share the extraordinary progress we've made. in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america -- [ light laughter ] so true. didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay. [ laughter and applause ] >> that is what happens when you continually go back to the well of adoring crowds and supporters. reality suddenly just smacks you in the face. world leaders essentially telling the emperor he has no clothes. laughter was the last thing president trump expected when he made that boast. you heard him say so. he said it himself. leaders from around the world definitel

i'm don lemon. our breaking news. hurricane florence now a category 3 storm. 115-mile-an-hour winds. 115 miles an hour. hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds extend out to 195 miles. that's massive. i've covered a lot of storms. i'm going to be heading down to the zone in just a few hours. by any measure, this is a monster storm. this one is a monster. an extremely dangerous major hurricane according to the national hurricane center. a storm so massive, an astronaut on the space station said they could only capture it with a super wide angle lens, calling it, quote, chilling even from space. that's a quote right there. with wave heights of up to 83 feet. that's about the height of a seven-story building. moving more and more slowly as it closes in on the carolina coast. from late tomorrow through early sunday, florence is expected to travel slower than you could walk, about two to three miles an hour. so here's why that's really bad news for some 20 million

i'm don lemon. our breaking news, hurricane florence now a category 3 storm. 115-mile-an-hour winds. 115 miles an hour. hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from the center and tropical storm force winds now extend outward up to 195 miles. that's massive. i've covered a lot of storms. i'm going to be heading down to the zone in just a few hours. by any measure, this is a monster storm. this one is a monster. an extremely dangerous major hurricane according to the national hurricane center. a storm so massive, an astronaut on the space station said they could only capture it with a super wide angle lens, calling it, quote, chilling even from space. that's a quote right there. with wave heights of up to 83 feet. that's about the height of a seven-story building. moving more and more slowly as it closes in on the carolina coast. from late tomorrow through early sunday, florence is expected to travel slower than you could walk, about two to three miles an hour. so here's why that's really

i am don lemon. it is 11:00 p.m. here on the east coast live with the breaking news for you tonight. we are learning the white house has a list of 12 prime suspects in the resistance op-ed investigation. president trump ranted about it at his rally tonight in montana saying, nobody knows who the -- he is or she. and the list of officials who say it wasn't me growing, more than two dozen and counting. that as trump rally -- trump ally, senator rand paul suggested using a polygraph to out the anonymous staffer. so, let's bring in now plark mckinnon, the executive producer of the circus showtime advisor to george w. bush and john mccain and cnn contributor frank bruni of "the new york times." good evening, gentlemen. appreciate it, appreciate you coming in. boy, what times we're living in. so, the president angrily suggesting tonight in this interview, an interview with fox news, right, saying that this person who wrote this op-ed is guilty of treason. yet and still, you say that this is a high point. why do you say tha

>> no, i don't think so, don. but i do think that it's a smart thing to do, and i think they were kind of caught on their heels last week. i think when you have a good witness, go ahead and get him out there as much as you can. i saw the interview tonight. i thought kavanaugh did very well. you know, it's odd and unusual that it was narrowcast, but it's not unusual given the culture we're in today, but 20 years ago you would have done that on all the broadcast networks and on cnn. and i thought he was pretty compelling. so i think actually it's a good strategy by the white house right now. i'm one of the few republicans that actually think overtime would be good rather than trying to run out the clock, which everybody else is trying to do, and rush the vote because i think that could be potentially a short-term win. maybe you get kavanaugh, but that's a long-term loss for the republican party as people look at that and think it was politically rushed through because you didn't give witnesses time to testify. you d

think don junior would? >> i thought, first of all, it was perhaps intriguing to know what this was. i suppose it was so apt at that time that i thought this will probably get his attention. that's actually why i did hillary's name. the one thing i regret more than anything in all of this, the big one being pushing the send button, but more was i never meant that it was hillary who should be incriminated. if joe biden would have been running, it would have said about joe. if bernie sanders, about bernie. it was the extension of this funding illegally in some way to the democrats and their candidate. i merely added that candidate's name in there. >> i thought she was going to be the nominee. that's what i did. i'm not saying this was a brilliant piece of writing by any means. it was written in three minutes to get don junior's attention. it was puffed up. i know people find this hard to believe, but i never thought it would be read by anyone other than don junior. >> did you think the russians had some kind o

don mcgahn, it's an exhausting job being white house counsel. of course, he was his counsel during the campaign as well which also have to have been exhausting. he's been an outstanding white house counsel, giving political and legal advice to the president. what he's done on judges is spec tack spectacular. he is the lawyer for the office of the president, he's not the president's personal lawyer. his conversations with the president clearly could be subject to executive privilege, depending on what they discussed. i'm sure when he went in with his discussions with special counsel he did it in consultation with the president and the president's personal lawyers. the mueller investigation is ongoing. i don't see it wrapping up any time soon. i'm not sure there was a connection between the two. surely whatever don mcgahn was going to share with the special counsel, he has shared with the president and his legal team. mike: we knew mcgahn was planning to leave, the white house team had been reporting it for some time. the abrupt tweet seemed to ta

>> no, i don't think so, don. but i do think that it's a smart thing to do, and i think they were kind of caught on their heels last week. i think when you have a good witness, go ahead and get him out there as much as you can. i saw the interview tonight. i thought kavanaugh did very well. you know, it's odd and unusual that it was narrow cast. it's not unusual give the culture we're in today, but 20 years ago you would have done that on all the broadcast networks and on cnn. and i thought he was pretty compelling. so i think actually it's a good strategy by the white house right now. i'm one of the few republicans that actually think overtime would be good rather than trying to run out the clock which everybody else is trying to do and rush the vote. i think that could be a short term win. you get kavanaugh, but that's a long-term loss for the republican party as people look at that and think it was politically rushed through because you didn't give witnesses time to testify. friends of mine on the hill have bee

don has been a master. we aren't cats, but i'm sure the erdingrase about h them came to mind when he was trying to get this going. on triumphs,n kenn among other things. as a dog lover, i was never into herding cats. considering how stubborn my dog is, i could never herd dogs. one thing i want to point out, i don't know that this has come up, why is the capital of the historical society, capitol what is the connection to capitol hill and the carroll family? daniel carroll was the largest landowner in what became the district of columbia. it was on his land that the capital building -- capitol building was situated. i don't want to steal any of carroll's thunder from any question that might be asked, but when i first asked carroll, which was probably 50 years ago, one of the first questions he'd why isked anyone was capitol hill referred to as jenkins hill when it was on carroll land? someone else can tell you the reason why the name jenkins hill stuck, but that is the connection between the capitol historic

set up a meeting with another farmer, don elloberto, elsewhere in the valley. now, we thought it would be a nice gesture, given all the high-test culinary talent between us, to make him and his family dinner in return for his hospitality. what are you thinking? >> eric: look what they have. squabs. >> anthony: what, the squabs? butterfly, marinate, grill? >> eric: we could do that. >> anthony: and look -- but they have such nice sausage here. >> eric: yeah, sausage. >> anthony: which would be nice to throw in with stew. uh, chorizo, chicken, onion, maybe some peppers, a little bit of spice. >> eric: okay, i'm thinking chorizo and potatoes. >> anthony: so we're kind of moving into the spanish -- >> eric: uh, yeah. >> anthony: -- uh, what's it called, uh, zarzuela, but, uh, but with chicken. >> eric: ah, zarzuela. and we can even use shrimp from the guy, shrimp and chicken rocks. >> anthony: that sounds like a plan.

more and more of odessa as people were joining the anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up. the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation. this rebellion had to. be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high. on may second two thousand and fourteen soccer fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the ukrainian championship match surprisingly a great number of these fans who descended into odessa just the night before also turned out to be fighters from the my don self-defense units along with members of radical organizations from all parts of ukraine that these. books. these families asked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances in the center of the city as they marched to the end time i don tent and camp where they attacked. the anti might on protesters sought shelter in the trading house but it was a track down supporters started throwing molotov cocktail

don: you said that. i anticipate that is probably true, but i will not go on record saying definitely that will happen. caroline: you said you had a bit of cash, are there more stocks to buy or what about the other end? don: real estate is pretty pricey in the united states. region it is saying you cannot talk about the whole rather than you can say emerging markets as a whole. with interest rates rising gradually, probably over the next 12 to 18, 24 months, you do not want to be in long bonds or even in midterm -- listen, i'm .ot the bond buyer there are a lot of attractive equities. you don't buy the index, at least i don't. you by individual companies doing well. scarlet: [indiscernible] don: i kind of like the oil sector and energy sector. i think pollution the basement is undervalued. i think -- debatement is undervalued. think, education, if you can find a way to get into that -- joe: going back to politics, you talk about people voting with their stomach and people are pretty bearish with the stoc

>> don, we are preparing for significant outages. as you know, this is a very dangerous storm and we're projecting to have one to three million outages of the four million homes and businesses that we serve here in the carolinas so we are talking about 75% of our customers losing power across the carolinas but we're ready for the task. we've amassed a restoration army of 20,000 personnel prepared to respond as soon as it's safe to do so. that's 10,000 workers from duke energy, not just the carolinas but the jurisdiction wes serve in indiana, ohio, kentucky and florida. we have crews coming from as states as far away as texas. we have to wait until the storm passes and the floodwaters recede and the winds die down before we can do damage assessment and begin this important restoration work. >> david, anything in recent history you can use as a model to help you deal with this? >> that's a great question. two years ago we had historic flooding from hurricane matthew in north carolina and the forecast for the rainfall to come from hurri

so what is it, don? i mean, i can't figure that out. obviously one of the aspects that we have to consider here is whether the president is actually strategizing saying i can't afford chaos, particularly on capitol hill when we're doing -- when we're in the midst of the kavanagh hearings. i don't think he's going to be fired unless potentially he sits there and admits what "the new york times" said to the president. in that case if i were the president you'd have no choice but to remove him. i don't think rosenstein did what the times said and he did and he tells the president, i think he's gone. >> well, maybe he has no intention of firing rod rosenstein and he knows it's a distraction away from kavanagh. >> that's what i think is going on. clearly people including john kelly are walking in to the president saying, one of your signature, one of your signature gains, which the president has repeatedly talked about in political rallies, was the nomination of one chief justice or one supreme court justice already. and the president has to

strategist and contributor to the hill and in austin we cross to don de bar he's an anti-war activist and a host of a daily radio program are across the rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated jan let me go to you first in las vegas you're there you got up early as for this program and it's much appreciated and looking at the calvin confirmation process ironically for a seat on the highest court of the land where justice is made it out this is been a mockery of justice i'm not going to tip toe around like everybody else i think this is a mockery it's a disgrace and it's purely political and i've been saying on this program with the donald trump that we have the left destroying institutions and credibility in institutions so you've got my take i'm very interested in yours go ahead well i would agree with e.p.a. there and not only have they made a mockery of that just assessed and i think we're entering into very dangerous waters here i can speak as the woman on the panel i find in particular that weaponization of sexual assault allegations t

cnn tonight with don lemon starts right now. >> yes. so -- >> you weren't listening. >> no, i was listening to you, but i just wanted to ask you because i've been off. and just from a distance, the ridiculousness of what is going on in this country. you know, i try to avoid the news, but because of the stories that happened last week, it is hard to avoid.

it shouldn't be limited by don mcgann. i think it's highly irregular in many ways for this to be limited in any way in terms cof which witnesses can be spoken to. they've been trying to orchestrate the deep sixing of the truth. what the fbi does and what it does well is do an investigation where it follows every lead that needs to be followed. and that's what needs to be -- that's what needs to happen here just as james comey wrote today in the "washington post." that's the job of the fbi. and if anyone is obstructing it, that should be stopped. >> and why don't i read a little bit of what james comey did say in an op-ed in the "new york times." in part, once they start interviewing, every witness knows the consequences. of course, the bureau won't have subpoena power but most people will speak to them, refusal to do so is its own kind of statement. frank put that together with james comey and what he just said. i'm talking about dianne feinstein's letter there to don mcgann and ray as well. >> yeah, i think we need transp

>> i don't think don mcgahn would do that. it's also senator flake and other who is said please go forward with this fbi investigation. >> she said there will be no interference from the white house and if there was the case like testimony from dr. ford or a written statement from one of the other accusers, does that mean the fbi doesn't need to go back and revisit and talk to the accusers and instead take another path and talk to other people? >> you have a complain. dr. ford, ramirez and swetnick. those are the complain ants. you start with that as the piece of evidence. then you move out as to how to corroborate this. the word credible means convincing. you need nothing further. a sin him in is capable of being proved. they are doing the plausible route. is this capable of being confirmed? they will start with the core and move out. the question is, do they have the authority to continue to move out when witnesses say, you know what, you ought to talk to this person. they may know something, too. do you have the authority o

in response oh my don it's conducted their own demonstrate. that's when the two parties would meet it was always tense and eventually it led to tragedy. one person died and over fifty people were wounded in clashes during a pro russian march protesting the new government in kiev. on april sixth the crimean scenario began repeating eastern ukraine where protesters seized government buildings. and the next day people seven day proclaimed don't yet see people's republic kiev replied by announcing the beginning of an anti-terrorist operation in eastern ukraine. by that time the international media was screaming about a russian invasion in ukraine russia could now be on the verge of invading ukraine but strong words state only in the media the ukrainian authorities never announced a war like situation why i.m.f. cannot give money to countries engaged in ongoing war that's roboto shango. when you go to your show will go to too much money was already invested in ukraine to stop halfway have invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in thes

not to the white house not you as the nominee or not don mcgahn. we are here today because doctor ford asked for an opportunity. i know you did as well in fact maybe before she did. we are here because people wanteded to be heard from charges they thought or activities like sexual assault was unfair. i went to assure senator durbin regardless of what you say to senator don mcgahn we are not stopping this hearing.en >> i will just say this. if you judge kavanaugh turned to don mcgahn and say for the sake of my reputation and my family name to get to the bottom of this i will not be an obstacle to the fbi investigation i hope all members would join me to say we abide by your wishes and have the investigation. >> whatever the committee wants to do i'm telling the truth. >> i want to know what you want tod do. >> i am innocent of this charge. >> and you are prepared. >> they don't reach the conclusion. >> they do investigate question questions. >> you cannot have it both ways you cannot say at the beginning that you welcome any kind of investigation. >

strategist and contributor to the hill and we cross to don de bar he's an anti-war activist and a host of a daily radio program in effect that means he can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it jan let me go to you first and last big. you're there you got up early is for this program and it's much appreciated and looking at the calvin confirmation process ironically for a seat on the highest court of the land we're just as admitted out this has been a mockery of justice i'm not going to chip toe around like everybody else i think this is a mockery it's a disgrace and it's purely political and i've been saying on this program with the donald trump that we have the left destroying institutions and credibility in institutions so you've got my take i'm very interested in yours go ahead well i would agree with you peter and not only have they made a mockery of the justice system i think were entering into very dangerous waters here i can speak as the woman on the panel i find in particular the weaponization of sexual assault allegations to be turned into political weapons to b

that's significant because if he informed people like don junior when don junior then responded to rob goldstone and said, if this is what i think it is, meaning i've been told about it, i love it. >> evan, that is a chilling analysis from jeremy bash that this is the first american sentenced for possibly being part of a conspiracy to influence our election. this is something you've been concerned about since the beginning. >> yeah, look, and i would say now there's a long list of felons who served this president during the campaign and after, and so it clearly fits at pattern. i think we should be more alarmed by it than actually we are. to a degree, we're desensitized by it. but papadopoulos is an interesting case. i mean, he was talking about the russians' possession of compromising information openly at a bar. he was telling strangers at a bar. so it's hard to imagine that he wasn't -- we know he was talking to the trump campaign, to his colleagues there, trying to convince him there should be a meeting between trump and vladimir putin. it's hard to imagine that as a part of that h

"cnn tonight" is just minutes away. wrong, all caps, underlined, my friend. >> by the way, there is no proof that he's actually a billionaire. i've spoken to a lot of people who deal with money, and they say there's no proof. yeah, $6 billion is a lot of money. you know what that shows you? the loudest voices aren't always the majority, and maybe you shouldn't always listen to the loudest voices or the people who burn their gear or who react politically to every single story. i think the majority of the country, the right-thinking people understand what colin kaepernick is respectfully and peacefully protesting about, and so they got behind nike. i was in the gym this morning. i know you think i don't work out, but i do, with my trainer, someone who never really talks about the stock market. he said, hey, i've been watching nike. according to him it's gone up 5%. he bought some stock, so he's happy about it. it's trickling down into the culture. i think they did the right thing. >> so we know the market cap is up $6 bil

i'm sorry we missed your primary night, don. >> that's okay. we wanted to have you, but we understand. you were busy talking to the people who made this victory possible. so we certainly understand that. we're just happy that you're here now. you pulled off a stunning upset against a ten-term congressman. the seventh district is the only district in massachusetts where the majority of residents are people of color. do you think that had an impact obviously on this race? >> i think the impact is that we made it a point to ignite this electorate and to expand it. every constituency that conventional wisdom would tell you is unreliable and would not turn out, turned out. that is because we met people in community where they were. i believe that every single person deserves a seat at the table of democracy. we engage people as an equal partner. people who had been in a fetal position since 2016 came out, and restored their hope. and for many people who had none, we gave it to them for the first time. so -- >> listen, i think people -- obviously the

not don mcgahn. not even you as a nominee. we are here today because dr. ford asked for an opportunity here. i know you did, too, as well. in fact, maybe even before she did. we're here because people wanted to be heard from charges that they all thought were unfair or activities like sexual assault was unfair. so i want to assure senator durbin regardless of what you say to senator don mcgahn, we're not suspending this hearing. proceed to answer the question, or whatever -- or if the gentleman -- >> i'll just say this, if you, judge kavanaugh, turned to don mcgahn and to this committee and say for the sake of my reputation, my family name, and to get to the bottom of the truth of this, i am not going to be obstacle to an fbi investigation, i would hope that all the members of the committee would join me in saying, we're going to abide by your wishes and we will have that investigation. >> i welcome whatever the committee wants to do because i'm telling the truth. >> i want to know what you want to do. >> i'm telling the truth. >> i want to know what what

i want to go to don in myrtle beach. i was talking to a lady who is bored in her home so she came down to take a look at the cape fear river. she said its like waiting for a turt toll arrive. but to hear it's moving at 10 miles an hour but it will slow down once it makes lands fall to four miles per hour. >> she better hope it's not a snapping tirt. it moves slowly and then when it gets you you're in major trouble. i've been trying to be the expert and tell you what's going on but this man to my right knows exactly what is going on. let's talk about the problems we face right now. as you heard anderson say, people are bored in their homes and they want to see things. these folks have been coming out. they weren't here when we got here earlier. the beach is not closed technically? >> the beach is not closed. the water is closed. we don't want to spend our resources rescuing somebody from rough waves when that is completely preventable. you can still walk on the beach. >> as we were listeneding to anderson speak to our met

i guess. >> you don't have to be don lemon being drunk to showcase his lunacy. just watch his program any night. >> because you don't agree with him, all right.gr >> i don't agree with you. but you're sitting here and i'm not interrupting you. at the end of the day, when you look at what he said about kanye west, he's trying to correct a grown man who dared have an opinion that differed from his and, oh, by the way, donald lemon, kanye happens to be right. there areby many reasons for uso be looking at donald trump through the prism -- certainly as black folks -- to be looking at donald trump for a person that's done a lot more for blacks than from barack obama. for don lemon and this particular gentleman to keep talking about donald trump he's some bad guy or kanye west who is bringing what we're calling the kanye effect is ridiculous. more black people are waking up because of kanye west and his comments, because they're tired of being demonized, because they're -- >> laura: all right, let's go to antjuan. antjuan? >> laura, that sounds all good. what don lemo

more and more of odessa as people were joining the anti my don movement at the same time as events in eastern ukraine were heating up . the new ukrainian government didn't have the power to wage war on too many fronts if odessa were to join the growing uprising in the eastern regions it would seriously complicate the situation. this rebellion had to be extinguished immediately and at any cost and that cost was high. on may second two thousand and fourteen soccer fans flocked to the center of odessa city for the ukrainian championship match surprisingly a great number of these fans who descended into odessa just the night before also turned out to be fighters from the my don self-defense units along with members of radical organizations from all parts of ukraine that these. books. these families asked armed and shouting nationalist mottos began disturbances in the center of the city as they marched to the end time on tent and camp where they attacked. the end time mind on protesters sought shelter in the trade union house but it was a track. down supporters started throwing molotov coc
