. >> my name is don trachte jr. my siblings and i were supposed to inherit from our father one of norman rockwell's best-known paintings. what we got was a mystery. what the heck had dad done with it? >> hi, don. i'm jamie. >> hi, jamie. >> so nice to meet you. so great to be in vermont. what is this place? >> this was my dad's studio. >> back in the 1950s, don's dad, donald trachte sr., is a syndicated cartoonist working on the popular strip "henry," which features a bald-headed boy, simply illustrated with clean lines and minimal backgrounds. can you support a wife and four kids drawing "henry"? >> it was a good living. my dad had to come up with all the gags... >> really? >> ...and he would have a sheet of paper next to his drawing board, and usually, he'd come up with about three or four gags at a time. >> were they gags about you kids? >> well, sometimes they were. >> so life for the trachtes is pretty good here in arlington, a picturesque artist's colony with a world-famous resident -- norman rockwell. how did

i'm don lemon. president trump believes his racist attack on four democratic congresswomen of color is a winning strategy for re-election in 2020. and he clearly laid it out tonight at a campaign rally in north carolina, doubling down on his attacks, purposely mentioning each woman by name to rounds of boos. and claiming to his base that the lawmakers don't love america. >> and tonight i have a suggestion for the hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down. they never have anything good to say. that's why i say, hey, if they don't like it, let them leave. let them leave. let them leave. >> so, let's go big picture, why don't we? van jones is here, max boot, alice stewart. van, the president continued to go after the squad tonight. at one point the crowd screaming "send her back" about congresswoman ilhan omar. why don't we play it. >> omar has a history of launching vicious anti-semitic screeds. [ crowd chanting "send her back, send her back, send her back" ] >> what di

>> well, hope they do, don. this is really the senator saying explain to the american people whose side you are on. you are either on the side of the american people or you are not. either you're in the pockets of pharmaceutical industry and the health care industry or you're going to stand up for the american people. let's go and throw it down. >> the medicare for all plan has been criticized by republicans and even some of senator sanders' democratic rivals because it means the end of private health insurance. are you worried that that's a bridge too far for many americans, nina? >> no, the bridge too far is how the american people are suffering right now. the bridge too far is the fact that far too many people in this country either don't have insurance or they are underinsured, don. about 80 million people combined in terms of people who are underinsured or just flat-out uninsured. as you know right now in philadelphia, hahnemann hospital could close down right now because a vulture capitalist purchased this

i'm don lemon. four democratic congresswomen, all freshmen, all women of color, standing up to the president, president trump, rebuking him for his racist tweets calling for them to go back to where they came from. the fact is, rashida tlaib, alexandria ocasio-cortez, ayanna pressley, are native-born americans. congresswoman ilhan omar was born in somalia but became an american citizen years ago and today the congresswomen fought back. >> i encourage the american people and all of us in this room and beyond to not take the bait. this is a disruptive distraction from the issues of care, concern, and consequence, to the american people. >> i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. and it belongs to everyone. and today, that notion, that very notion, was challenged. >> joining me now is senator bernie sanders. he's a vermont independent who is running for the democratic presidential nomination. senator, i'm so glad that you could

don mcgahn looked favorably on him. another thing that happened durin on the night of justice scalia's death is don mcgahn got on the phone with child and said be careful at the debate, don't politicize -- got on the phone with trump and said be careful at the debate. don't politicize this too much. was a little too washington at that time for the president to talk about. it would have been a tough sell as the first pick for the president. he is a washington guy in the bush die. he came out of the bush white house. worked on the ken start investigation. even president trump saw it was a little too closely aligned to the bushes. it was. his mother was the epa administrator for ronald reagan. got involved in some scandals and had to leave. i think that stuck with justice gorsuch and his view of the washington system and bureaucracy. host: one point from the book june want to get to calls, 27, 2018 justice anthony kennedy's retirement was announced by the court in the trump administration. he had already been at the white

and how does don find them? that will take more digging -- digging through the debris. >> in ray's room, he had pictures of wolves torn out of magazines and put on the wall. i had no idea how it all fit together at that point in time. >> he'll start to fit it all together soon. among ray's many diaries written in neat cursive, don finds a scrapbook with a big clue. >> it said "lucan." i opened it up, and it had kevin's picture in there. >> "lucan" was a tv series starring kevin brophy as a boy raised by wolves. it was cancelled after just 12 episodes in 1978, when ray fulk was 37 years old. >> it was pretty clear to me that show meant something to ray and he identified with it. >> don digs further and discovers the other man in the will -- peter barton -- also an actor. why fulk named him, however, is a bigger riddle. from to 1988 to '92, barton played dr. scott grainger in the soap opera "the young and the restless. >> how am i ever gonna be able to thank you? >> before that, he starred in a short-lived tv seri

we need don mcgahn. we need witnesses who told us one thing and we found out that their representations might not be the truth. so there's a whole series. but, again, the question has to be, is this kind of behavior going to be the norm for the presidency of the united states of america? and we asked that of the american people. we think we laid out today a very complete story and picture of the fact -- >> yeah. >> -- that obstruction of justice did happen and the president was engaged in obstruction of justice. >> appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> congresswoman, good to see you. >> nice to see you, too. >>> i'm going to talk to a man who knows robert mueller well. he was mueller's deputy at the fbi. next, he's going to tell me if he saw a different mueller at today's hearings. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. g

i'm don lemon. democrats planning their next moves tonight in the wake of robert mueller's testimony on capitol hill. his demeanor was somewhat shaky. his answers sometimes halting. but mueller was clear in his testimony that his report did not exonerate president trump. that russia's election attack was not a hoax. and that his investigation was not a witch hunt. the house speaker nancy pelosi saying this tonight. >> the american people now realize more fully the crimes that were committed against our constitution. >> so, now that mueller's hearings are over, cnn's learning that house democrats had a robust debate tonight behind closed doors about their next moves. they could include launching an impeachment inquiry and likely going to court this week to enforce a subpoena compelling don mcgahn, trump's former white house counsel, to testify. for his part, the president's claiming victory and slamming mueller's testimony. >> i think robert mueller did a horrible job. both today and with respect to

many say don jr. is a racist because he retweeted a tweet and he agrees with don lemon. what do we get out of this? >> absolutely nothing. black americans don't get anything about it. let me tell you something about the donald trump jr. racist conversation. how is he a racist for sharing the same conversation that don lemon had on cnn? the exact same thing. what is going on in the left, they're trying to twist any question about kamala harris's lineage to a birther style attack which is garbage. she's the child of a jamaican father and indian mother. she was born to two immigrant parents. she's not african american, right? what she does, when you see the situation that she had with joe biden at the last debate, she tries to muddy the waters. when she says she's a child of bussing, she tries to muddy the waters to pretend that she comes from the jim crow lineage or lineage of slave. that's not where she comes from. it's not racist when don lemon had it on cnn and it's not racist for me or other black voters to have it and it wasn't racist for donald trump jr. to ask the q

now did the president president call don mcgahn more than once that day? >> i think it was two calls. on page 85 of your report, you wrote, quote, on the first call, mcgahn recalled that the president said something like, quote, you got to do this. you got to call rud. >> and your investigation and report found that don mcgahn was perturbed, to use your words, by the president's request to call rod rosenstein to fire him. isn't that correct? >> there was a continuous colloquy. it was a a continuous involvement of don mcgahn responding to the president. >> he did not want to put himself in the middle of that. he did not want to have a role in asking the attorney general to fire him. >> i would refer you to the report and the way it's characterized in the report. >> thank you. at volume 2, page 85, it states that he didn't want to have the attorney general -- he didn't want to have a a role in trying to fire the attorney general, so at this point, i would yield back. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. mooueller, first, let me as unanimous consent, mr. chairman,

[applause] don nickles: thank you very much. i was just thinking if i stayed in the senate -- i would be in the senate -- chuck grassley and i came together in 1980, 38 years ago. maybe in another 10 years, i can become chairman of the finance committee. [laughter] don nickles: my wife would really get a kick out of that. hey babe you stay another 30 , years, you can be chairman of the committee. grassley and hatch just won't go. because he had seniority. he served in the congress. he was ranked higher than -- i was the same age as most of the staffers on the committee at the time. i loved the finance committee. i served on a lot of committees. at that time, everyone said you want to be on finance or on appropriations. ropes --up appropriations because i cannot get on finance. chuck grassley got on in year one. blanche lincoln got on in year one. pat took a few years. bill cassidy got in in his first term. it is not fair. it took me my third term to get on the finance committee. but i will tell you, i look back at the other comm

>> so, don, first of all, life is fragile. these were four of my friends from high school and i knowsised over the years that, unfortunately, they were dying young and tragically and i was sort of collecting their stories and i wanted to be able to both write a memoir of their lives, very personal to me, but also have a big reporting challenge. you know, i've written books about the collapse of behr sterns and how goldman sachs got through the financial crisis and the duke lacrosse scandal. in each case it was an effort to try to figure out what happened to these firms and in these situations. so once again in this case, i wanted to know what happened to my four friends. we basically lost touch. i would see john around town. this was before facebook and instagram and it was easy to keep in touch. no social media. once you lost touch with people, you lost touch with people. this gave me a chance to figure out what happened to them. >> this one i definitely want to read. i lost friends early. >> we all have. >> i think i'll star

he is looking maybe to don mcgahn. are we talking about don mcgahn being the new john dean here? >> i think that's the hope. the lawsuits we saw too, the grand jury lawsuit and the filing early next week to compel don mcgahn are going to be so crucial. really for two reasons. they're going to force the democrats to take a position. where are you on impeachment? can we please make a plea to everybody. please bring back plain language. plain english. >> you're just done already. you want congress to act and also be clear? have you been in this country long? >> heaven forbid. right. we have seen so many times if you leave any wiggle room or gray area, donald trump and in some cases bill barr will jump in and spin. i think democrats need to learn a lesson here. you need to be clear. they'll have to go on record in court and say -- judges will ask. where are you? is this an inquiry? do you have a resolution? and the more formal it is, the stronger their hand will be in court. and regarding mcgahn, this is all or nothing with respect to these witnesses, not just mcgahn. wherever that g

>> it's a great question, don. i mean, it's clear now, i mean this is large, sophisticated, coordinated campaign that the russian government has been leading since 2014. this is what russia does. they sow discord. they're taking this massive effort to undermine our election, the bedrock of our democracy, the right to conduct free and open elections. and now this is out for the public to see, for the public to understand. and it's definitely a step in the right direction. but now is the time to stop talking about this issue and let's do something about it. >> susan, i see you're shaking your head in agreement there. the house democrats sent a letter that the president receive the same sort of in-depth briefing on foreign interference like lawmakers did. part of the white house's response is you think the democrats would have learned to stop grandstanding and actually take election security seriously. what side is actually taking election security seriously? >> it's still shocking in many ways we're just talking abou

>> well, that's a good question, don. i think that the whole country needs to say there are some things that are just absolutely unacceptable. let me give you one example that pops into my head, that's when they wanted to get rid of the funding for special olympics and the entire country came together and said, you're not going to do that, you're not going to punish those people, you're not going to hurt that group because that's part of america. and don, i'm a believer that if people of all stripes, not just republicans, independents, democrats, preachers as well begin to say this is not our country, as you and i chatted earlier, we're a jewish and christian in america. judeo-christianity. and other religions, they basically have the same message. and the fact is we are our brothers and sisters' keepers, we are brothers and sisters and we are to love our neighbors as we want them to love us. and this rhetoric, this anger, this division vooiolates that's basic covenant that america was founded on. that's why it's so bad.

invested here but there's certainly making a point of investing and i think there's a difference ok don you seem to be more of the skeptic on the program react to that . well 1st you know the objective conditions are such that imperial retreat is you know on the agenda of the ceci and trump represents that certainly the policy that he espoused as and that he muttered out loud to out all the heresies that he spoke that provoke such a massive response from from the elites here had to do with imperial retreat and does nato obsolete can't japan defend itself that we have to have military bases all over the world do we need to have of war games around korea all the time they're so expensive you know that he's looking at it or any of that whoever is making policy around are looking at the overhead of you know of empire and seeing it as a drag on an economy that is out trying to compete with china that has no such drag . so you have that objective condition now you have people like soros and the koch brothers and others who resist very strongly trump articulating this you know soros wrote almo

>> well, that's a good question, don. the whole country needs to say there are something that's absolutely unacceptable. the entire country came together when they want to give funding for the olympics. you are not going to do that because that's part of america. i am a believer that if people all strikes and not just republicans and preachers as well begin to say this is not our country. you and i chatted earlier, we are jewish and traditions. other religions, they have the same message and the fact is we are our brothers and sisters, keepers. we are brothers and sister and we are to love our neighbors as we want them to love us. this rhetoric, this anger, this division violates that basic covenant that america was pou founded on. for republicans, i am worried of a primary and all that stuff. don, if you don't speak out when you are in, i can tell you when you are out which is not a long time away for all of these people. when you are out, you don't need a phone. no one will call you or no one will take your call. that's

i'm don lemon. he's at it again. the president at his campaign rally in north carolina tonight slamming four congress women of color. railing against each one of them by name and, by the way, that was scripted in the teleprompter. then doubling down on his love it or leave it refrain. >> so these congress women, their comments are helping to fuel the rise of a militant hard left, but that's okay because we're going to win this election like nobody's ever seen before. and tonight i have a suggestion for the hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down. if they don't like it, let them leave. let them leave. let them leave. >> well, that as the president is still trying to convince you that his go back where you came from attack on the women who call themselves the squad, that it isn't racist. it is racist. it is. that's not all it is. it is a blatant, calculated strategy. pay close attention. sources are telling cnn that the president thinks his attacks are a winning -- ar

that's why we will see don mcgahn's name come up tomorrow. i've been told they already have the legal paperwork ready to bring this case to court to try to force mcgahn into the chair and hope to add to that case by getting more from mueller tomorrow and illustrate why they need him here. >> an incredible piece. donald trump has not attacked -- >> and why they need him. >> thank you. congratulations on it. we will dive more into this story after a quick break. don't go anywhere. t go anywhere. ♪work so hard give it everything you got♪ ♪strength of a lioness tough as a knot♪ ♪rocking the stage and we're never gonna stop♪ ♪all strength, no sweat... just in case you forgot♪ ♪all strength, no sweat... ♪no no no sweat... that's why united rentals is combining equipment, data, safety and expertise to help your worksite perform better. united rentals. >>> we're talking about breaking news broken by my colleague that the house judiciary committee is getting ready to compel don mcgahn, one of the star witness's testimony. >> get to

i'm don lemon. with 2020 looming there are some big developments tonight for the president and in the crowded democratic field. a new poll shows that a strong economy is helping to boost president trump's job approval, now at 44%. that is up five points since april. at the same time, "the washington post"/abc survey shows biden is not only still leading the democratic pack, but boating the president by a full ten points. there is good news for massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. her campaign reports she raised just over $19 million in the second quarter this year. reflecting new momentum in her compare after struggling early on. the democratic field is a little less crowded tonight. congressman eric swalwell dropping out of the race. his campaign failed to gain any traction. i want to talk about this, take a look at the big picture with terry mcauliffe, the former governor of virginia and also the chairman of the democratic national committee. the author of "beyond charlottesville: taking a stan

i'm don lemon. well, so much for disavowal. so much for the president's claims that he disagreed with the center back chanlt that elected at his campaign rally this week. did anybody really believe he was unhappy with those chants because he wasn't. you saw him standby and let it happen doing nothing to stop it. did anybody really believe that he would take back the racist tweet that started it all? he won't. listen to what he said today. >> president trump, you said you were unhappy with the chant but -- >> you know what i'm unhappy with, i'm unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman can hate our country. that's what i'm unhappy with. those people in north carolina, that stadium was packed. it was a record crowd, and i could have filled it ten times as you know. those are incredible people. those are incredible patriots. >> so the president insisting his supporters in the crowd chanting "send her back" that they were true patriots because they agreed with him. and falsely repeating his slur that any of those four congresswome

how do they get don mcgahn there? they are going to court and jerry nadler talked about that today at their closed door meeting. and they have to get mcgahn because having mueller who wrote the report is not like having john dean white house counsel testifying before the watergate committee. >> don't they keep moving the goalpost on this? it was all about the mueller report and that i'm came out, t was going to be it. that's the bible and they have all these investigative powers and it's confusing with 448 pagers when he testifies and talks and now it's don mcgahn. >> nancy pelosi isn't inclined to impeach this president. that is what she's >> would it hurt democrats in 2020? >> i think it could. it was interesting to see what happened in 2018 and why democrats did so well, because they steered around those issues and talked about issues on people's minds that touched their own lives, and part of the commitment they made was they weren't going to play bumper cars on this issue. they were going to actually try and solv

we need don mcgahn. we need witnesses who told us one thing and we found out that their representations might not be the truth. so there's a whole series. but, again, the question has to be, is this kind of behavior going to be the norm for the presidency of the united states of america? and we asked that of the american people. we think we laid out today a very complete story and picture of the fact -- >> yeah. >> -- that obstruction of justice did happen and the president was engaged in obstruction of justice. >> appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> congresswoman, good to see you. >> nice to see you, too. >>> i'm going to talk to a man who knows robert mueller well. he was mueller's deputy at the fbi. next, he's going to tell me if he saw a different mueller at today's hearings. irthday music] ♪ ♪ don't get mad, put those years to work with e*trade. you only talk about your insurancet, when you complain about it.

his son don jr. has a new op-ed in "the hill" claiming the president will be the ultimate victor of this civil war. this is a quote that he said. civil war between democrats. are you concerned that this gives the president ammunition? >> well, i think that we need to keep in mind who in the end is preventing some of the things that we want to happen from happening, whether it's mitch mcconnell or whether it's this president not delivering on many of the promises that he made in the campaign to the american people about lowering the cost of health care, about not cutting medicare and social security. many of these things that they have gone back on almost immediately and not delivered on. that's what i think we have to keep in mind. i'll certainly be using my position to try to remind our members of that, but there are always folks who want to try to play up our divisions, try to create fissures where they might be or widen small ones when they exist. i'm confident we're going to stick together on the

together to discuss these issues and get people outside of their echo chambers that's wonderful e put don ok i'm going to start throwing some cold war or water on it here ok you have george soros in his relationship with the atlantic council a very you know that. is the mouthpiece of nato it's staunchly anti russian and if you look at the koch brothers they have been supporting this illegal who and venezuela i could go on and on ok and so i'm just happy i'm left but will drink by all of this because are they going to separate themselves from their business interests and and this is going to be an intellectual process i find that hard to believe go had done well the question is is this is 13 chick change or a tactical one and i'd argue clearly it's the latter their interests as you mentioned haven't really changed the playing field has changed the rules of the game have changed we've seen expressions of this certainly of the 2016 election when you saw trump who wasn't even a republican really rise on to the top of 16 candidates in the republican party essentially because people said as the

i the people around trump and don mcgone -- don mcgahn is determined to tear down the bureaucracy, and they didn't want anyone like garland in there because garland is a protecter of the bureaucracy and that's what this -- what they called this. inside their project. to get -- always going to be gore such followed by kavanaugh stocker gorsuch. so the day gorsuch's hearing is in the hart building, big room and some of you may remember his mother was the head of the epa who got involved in a scandal, forced out of the job hard to leave town. he life disintegrated after that and gorsuch was up at same school kavanaugh was at, and i'm sure for a kid in high school, this was a really disorienting thing and in the book i talk about he went to his mother and said, how can you quit? you're being forced out. i would would you quit? you told me not to be a quitter. so the day of the hearing started, in the hearing room in the back with the white house guys who are shepherding him through and i said to him, i got a theory about gorsuch. and they go oh, what's senate i said he's still really mad a
