America. heres my question to you, jeff. if this investigation does not involve the president personally, which his attorneys maintain, why are the lawyers and the president himself commenting on this? >> well, its not surprising that the presidents lawyers would come to lay the groundwork for an argument down the road, perhaps but your point is well taken. if this investigation doesnt touch the white house, why is the president commenting at all? but i think what we have here is a search warran...

Here he is. >> i thought it was a very, very strong signal or whatever. i know mr. manafort, i havent spoken to him in a long time but he was with the campaign for a very short period of time, relatively short period of time. ive found him to be a decent man and makes consultant fees all over the place. who knows? i dont know. i thought that was pretty tough stuff, to wake him up, perhaps his family was there. i think thats pretty tough stuff. >> jeff kramer with me and directly with the researc...

We knew that bob mueller was following the money trail but what does that signify to you? >> putting new attorneys in that area as well as warrants itself, i think its significant but not really surprising. i think its significant in the sense weve got some idea of the direction based upon the lawyers he might be hiring and also, a warrant itself where a judge determined that there was probable cause that a crime occurred and there might be evidence in the house. thats significant but not really...

Putting congress through the business of subpoenaing tapes and so forth? there ought to be something a bit more than this partial explanation coming from the president. really. this is not a game show. this is not whack-a-mole or goldilocks revisited. this is government, and were made a laughingstock in the eyes of the world to see these kinds of goings-on. >> david and jeff and shannon and richard, thank you all for all of your voices here on something that is so, so important. coming up, mor...

The president gratuitously continues to undermine his own credibility. i heard a guest say, i think i heard him say, just recently, president anyway.eved the - so, this is no big deal. if thats the standard that were going to have, god help us. >> well, there are real -- theres a real credibility issue here. i think when you drill into all of this, and if youre saying nutty, but not witness intimidation, jeff, im just curious, do you agree? >> well, certainly, it does seem odd. you can go with n...

big deal to environmentalists in the bay area. one of them is a billionaire. president obama visited him first. they talked about the environment. i interviewed him this week. he said climate change is the issue of our time. i dont know if he pressed the president on it. >> and a billionaire environmental activist. he has been active on the keystone xl pipeline issue. >> that is right. this is important to environmentalists. they say this is the top thing president obama promised about...

like the country he represents his motives and intentions remain obscure. joining me is christopher hill. he is a former u.s. ambassador to south korea and from washington d.c. mark landler of the "new york times." i am pleased to have both of them on the program. chris hill, you have dealt with the north koreans. tell me what you think of these threats. should we be taking them more seriously than in the past. >> theyve certainly kind of backed themselves into a corner. that is, its h...

minister benjamin netanyahu, winning over a skeptical and gently c, restarting the moribund middle east peace talks in part by appealing to israelis to see it from the palestinian point of iew. >> put yourself in their shoes. look at the world through their eyes. just as israelis built a state in their homeland, palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land. gwen: but make no mistake, this was an emphatically pro-israel trip, especially when the president talked tough...
