Firing or a resignation. And we are learning new details of what it really was that forced that relationship to go south and to reach that breaking point. Sources tell cnn, the two men got into a heated argument monday night over the president s decision to host taliban leaders at camp david, after that reports that President Trump was increasingly frustrated with boltons combative style within the west wing while bolton was increasingly concerned the president was caving too often when dealing with dictators like north koreas kim jongun. The question now about one of the most critical hires inside the white house is who is the president going to choose . Cnn has learned at least ten names are being discussed. Cnns White House CorrespondentBoris Sanchez has the latest. What are you hearing about this sflochlt hey, ka. Reporter ohio, kate, there is a pool of ten names circulateed that President Trump may ultimately pick from. One is brian hook, Rex Tillerson brought into the state department. He is currently leading the push on iran through the state department right now. Another name is rick waddell. He served as Trumps Deputy adviser, a third intriguing name is rob blair, the acting chiefed a haver to dick mulvaney. Some think mulvaneys influence may lead him to that job. Another pete poke stra and charles cuberman is not on that list. A source telling me he will not be on the job very long. We should point out President Trump makes unorthodoxed picks, so it could be he ultimately taps someone that source versus fought thought of, they have not brought up to us. The president , of course, often unpredictable, kate. Boris, thank you so much. Joining me for more on this is Michael Allen who served on the National Security council under president bush. What do you think of the departure first and foremost . I think two factors were at play here, first john bolton is famously abrasive. I think that stale grated on the president and secretary pompeo and esper and i think bolton found he could not shape the president s views like he wanted to on north korea, iran perhaps and you know maybe a retaliation to the shootdown of our drone i am told was a big point of contention, but look, the National Security adviser is supposed to be an honest broker who can reconcile the differing views of the National Security agencies and bring them to bear on hard problems. Either bolton didnt want to do that or felt leak he couldnt because the president s style is more improvisational than conventional. The thing is that President Trump knew what he was getting when it comes to belmonten. There arent a lot of surprises, bolton is who belmonten is. In the last year, the president said as much, listen to this. John is a, he has strong views on things, but thats okay. I actually tempered john, which is pretty amazing, isnt it . Im the one who tempers him. Thats okay. I have different sides. I have john bolton and i have other people that are a little more dovish than him and ultimately i make the decision. And thats the thing. He always says as ever a president does, they are the final decider in this. What do you think then changed . I think that john boltons career has been dedicated to really doing hard sanctions and hard u. S. Policy toured rogue regimes. I just dont think the president is there. The president has wanted to meet with the north Korean Leader on numerous occasions. Now she opened to meeting with the leader of iran at the u. N. General asell mr. I in a couple of weeks. Thats not where bolton has dedicated his career. I think these two were undia metrically opposed grounds on policy and in style. Then what do you think of the content that, you know, is trump tired of bolton offering a differing opinion or tired of him being skeptical of kind of where the president is you know, naturally in terms of Foreign Policy and National Security, that now hes more likely to surround himself with completely with people who then agree with him . What do you think of that concept just in terms of the role of the National Security adviser . Well, i think the role of the National Security adviser in addition to being an honest broker who serves policy options for the president has to be a close adviser, has to be someone the president trusts, the person thats the last one in the room before a big decision is made . And so, this is an important choice for the president. I think hes lurched back and forth as he looks for the right model that suits him. And it may just be that he tires of his advisers. He needs a different one every year or so. But i think your reporting has alluded to this mike pompeo is terrific in the president s eyes and i think that he will play an outsized role in all National Security policy to come. Well see how that plays out, pretty quickly. Its not like problems when it comes to National Security or the pause, when they say the National Security adviser in the spot. Good to see you, michael, thanks. Thank you. Joining me right now as well, democratic congressman Gregory Meeks of new york. Thank you for being here. When President Trump announced boltons appointment, you called him one of the most unhinged warmongers in america. What do you what then do you think of boltons department sure . The last straw was when bolton tried to stop trump from meeting with the taliban at camp david . Well, i think its good r riddance of bolton. I stand by the statement i made then. I think that you just know in the trump administration, you are just dealing with an ad pinstration that is constantly in crisis. Thats why you do not keep any more how many secretaries of defense has he had . How many positions that are opened in both the state department, the intelligence, et cetera, you know, its an administration that is continually in crisis, where there is no logic, no thought, no system of working collectively with allies, and bolton, you know, hes one i guess the president liked him, he was trying to go along. Also at some point, so, we got to and this president i dont think that hes capable of changing to have a . An administration that is able to put together individuals that he will listen to and he said it, himself. He is going to just do things on his own. He doesnt really need anybody. Thats what he said. One republican told one republican senator told laura fox my colleague lawmakers clung to bolton because he was an experienced policy maker who the hill at least could rely on. Thats how one republican senator put it. Do you see you actually miss having john bolton advising the president . No, i dont see a universe where i miss john bolton. I do sew a universe, i will say this, where i miss general mattis. I miss general kelly and mcmaster, who at least were able to articulate a plan, not a plan that ive always agreed with, but it had a plan with an objective that can be spelled out. So i can say that i do miss them as opposed to what we have now, no question about that. On to some other news, there seems to be, the way i would describe it is just continued confusion over what the house is doing when it comes to investigating President Trump. The house judiciary chairman jerry nadler, he says that they are now conducting an impeachment inquiry. Speaker pelosi, though, very clearly not ready to use that language. Let me play you then what congressman don beyer told me yesterday. From your perspective, are they watching is the house launching an impeachment inquiry . Yes, that i are. I think there is pa clear majority of the Democratic Caucus thats come out for impeachment. I think chairman nadler is clearly moving forward. It doesnt seal to be unclear to don beyer. You say what then . I say that what were doing is our oversight and investigative work the entire congress. Which is what we should do. You know, generally, i dont see how you can go to just a Judiciary Committee and say we want you to make an inquiry in regards to impeachment without having all of the evidence that you have need. And so the finance and Services Committee is continuing to do an investigation. The ways and means committees you dont think the shouse launching an inquiry . So you disagree with fad ler . Yeah. I think what the house is doing is completing its oversight investigation. Once that is completed, all of that work will then go to the Judiciary Committee and then at that point the Judiciary Committee can make a determination what it needs to do, where its going, it needs all the evidence. Why does it seem its hard to get this straight. With something as consequential as an impeachment inquiry, it seems when it comes to the messaging of its hang, its not, is not difficult to get right. It almost suggests folks are hiding from it. No, i think that whats happening is you know a lot of individuals are frustrated because you can see with your own eyes the incompetence and what appears to be the illegalities that this president has done while in office. And so there is on behalf of some who are ready to move i they believe we have enough for indictment and they want to indict now irrespective of getting a conviction, whereas there are others focused on an diept and a conviction. When i talked to some of my constituents, they say, well, why dont you impeach him now . Not understanding even if he was impeached today or yesterday, he would still be president of the united states. So we got to make sure we indict and convict and or unelect him because the damage and danger to this country is him remaining as president s of the united states. Its no more clear to me at this moment, though, it should not and never will be ignored. Today does mark 18 years since the september 11th attacks. Congressman, i want your reflections on this day. Yes, this is a tough day, a day that i this i that clearly no matter whether you are a democrat or republican or independent, that we all need to come together, liberal, conservative, come and be a new yorker. I will never, ever forget those men and women who lost their lives at the World Trade Center and then those heroes who came after the 9 11 to work, to try to clear the damage and as a result and have passed, its truly a day of national mourning. A day that we should never forget and a day that should unify us and to make sure that we then come together as a country to make sure that this never, ever happens again and understand the two heroes that we have, are men and women who are members of the united states, citizens of the united states. Congressman, congressman, thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you so much.

The Republican Party breathing a sigh of relief this morning as republican congressional candidate dan bishop defeated democrat dan mccready in a much watched special election last night in north carolina. Thats the good news for republicans. The potential bad news is bishop won by just two points in a district safely in republican hands for decades and one donald trump won by 12 points in 2016. This morning bishop gave President Trump quite a bit of credit for his win. How much of a difference did the president make . It was a big deal. We were far behind. We were making progress, but the president and Vice President pence coming in i think it put us over the top. So what message does last nights result send to everyone then running in 2020 . I am joined once again by the Democratic Party wane goodwin, what a difference a day makes. Yesterday you told me you expected dan mccready to win. How big of a loss is this last night for you guys . Well, we always knew it was going to be a neckandneck race. While any sloss a letdown, as i said yesterday, as ill say it again today, the fact that this ruby red district, a gerrymander republicandrawn district won by donald trump by 12 points was won by a republican by only two points is a loss for republicans and again it is i believe foreshadows very bad news for republicans heading into 2020. Again any sloss a letdown. The fact that we came so close is a very good sign for our Democratic Candidates and our democratic message about pocketbook issues and uniting people instead of trumps divisive hateful tactics. How big was President Trump in bishops win . Do you think he deserves the credit that bishop is giving him . Ah, i dont know, any time any president visits a president ial or a Congressional District or a state, there might be some small bump. But the very fact that this should have been a huge win for the republicans turning into aer have narrow win by two points i think is a loss for republicans. Yes, dan bishop won, but it was a neckandneck race and it shouldnt have been. Final note, i think President Trumps appearance may have been marginal and probably turn offend some people. Yesterday you told me that was bellwhether for the state and beyond. You came close. A close second for 2020 will not get you more seats and a close 2020 will not get you to the white house, so whats your lesson then from yesterday . Our lesson is that here we are in 2018 in north carolina, we broke the republican super majorities and won every state wide race defeating republicans and here we had a race the only race on the ballot, a third Congressional District and the 9th congress at district had races yesterday, special election without all of the infrastructure you normally have with a president ial, a gubernatorialer atorial and senate and nar key races. We are a battleground state. We will fight for the pocketbook issues, making sure folks can have Affordable Drugs and investment if public schools, not dividing people along race and other lines. So were going to keep doing what we are doing, because it is a winning message. We narrowed the gap from 12 points to two points who ut the infrastructure we will have in 2020. Imagine what we will do in 2020 with all the things at play and all the investments of people, time, tam ent treasure and resources and packs in 2020. Im very excited about it. Wane, thanks very much. Appreciate it very much. Thank you for your time. Here with me right now in studio is cnns political director david you got to spin a day after the election. Everyone is spinning. What did you what do you think of the argument that wane is making about how a loss is a win last night . A loss is not a win. Right. A loss is a loss. And dan bishop will be the congressman who is taking votes on the floor of the house of representatives. But he does have a point about a 12point trump district. There is no doubt that there are warning signs. So the sigh of relief that republicans can breathe today is short lived i think, yes. They won the seat. That was important. Thats why they went all in. But, kate, these warning signs of whats happening in the suburbs, that, the suburban part of that district outside of charlotte when donald trump won the district by 12 he actually won that suburban part by a little bit. Mccready, the democrat won it huge last fight. That is a part of the backlash the swing in the suburbs that weve seen in 20 seen, 18, 19 defining american politics. Last night when you were talking where the votes landed, it offers some, do you think some warning signs for democrats as well . I do. Not only democrats but i think it paints the path the Trump Campaign will pursue their reelection strategy, what donald trump was able to do going in at the end, where he went to visit cumberland county, that
