Vote. And i said at the beginning, we are going to get the bad ones, the really bad ones. Were getting them out and thats exactly what were doing. I think in the end everybodye everyone is going to be extremely happy. I will tell you right now a lot of people are very, very happy, right now. Jeremy diamond is there at the white house for us. Jeremy, let me just underscore the conversation we just heard about equally as important as what was asked is what wasnt asked. You heard those reporters shouting other questions, maybe more pressing questions. But we didnt hear anything about Michael Flynn. Yeah, absolutely. The president was not asked to address this broiling controversy surrounding his National Security adviser, Michael Flynn. But that was a dance on full display, the relationship between trump and trudeau where really the two leaders tried to avoid topic of disagreement, and really the Prime Minister of canada saying its not his role to lecture trump. That came in particular reference to a question on immigration ban which Prime Minister trudeau disagrees with. But really the two men trying to focus on the commonalities between the two countries. Both talking about shared values, military cooperation, and of course issues of trade and commerce. But you know, you did hear the president of the United States there making a very unapologetic defense of his immigration been a while the canadian Prime Minister really trying to say, listen, i dont know to get into this here today. But still reaffirming, you know, that that is different from how he is governing in his country where he has really welcomed refugees with open arms. Jeremy, thank you. We may not have heard about it in the News Conference but cnn is learning the National Security adviser general Michael Flynn is on, quote, unquote, thin ice. This is according to a adviser who owes also quote the knives are out over reports that flynn lied to Top Administration officials about whether he talked sanctions with russia before he actually started the job. So apparently even suggesting that those sanctions will be revisited in the trump presidency. Joining me, two analysts. I want to welcome both of you. Kaya lee, you have been in the east room mega joint News Conferences many, many times. Quickly on this notion from some people that the press werent asking the right questions, but its also look at the people the white house, and specifically the president called upon to ask the right question. Right. I mean there is always when you have a two and two or a one and one with the president and a foreign leader typically the press corps has a question on its mind generally and thats what the reporters who are called on will generally ask about. But President Trump, and we saw this before in his press conference on friday with the japanese Prime Minister. He called on, they have chosen to call on outlets that are conservative and they are asking questions that the president or the white house really want to be asked about as opposed to some of the questions that other outlets may have asked about. And what weve seen, which is interesting, is that the other countrys press corps is tending to ask some of the more aggressive questions. We saw that even with the british Prime Minister may when she visited. There was a very tough question from that side and today again. Look, if you are a rtd roar and you get a question you are entirely within your right to ask whatever you want to. Moving off of that and onto the future of nsa chief Michael Flynn, raymond, heres my question for on. That let me play sound first. Manu raju just talked to the republican senator from maine, Susan Collins, specifically about general flynn. Here is what the senator told him. If he was not being truthful, should he step down from that decision . Thats really a decision for the president to make. I know what my decision would be, but thats thats really a decision for the president. Your decision would be what your decision be, to remove him . It would be very difficult for me to continue to rely on someone in such a vital position if i found ought that the person had not been truthful in describing his conversations important foreign nationals prior to the appointment. Shes being very diplomatic. But, raymond, i mean, if this were happening under a reagan administration, which you know, or others since, what do you think would happen to Michael Flynn . Well, brooke, the whole Michael Flynn episode reminds me of the what happened when harry truman was asked whether Unemployment Rate would go up, whether it would go down. And truman said he brought in the economist and the economist said, some of them said it would go up. Some said it would go down. He said send me a onehanded economist. Brooke, 234 this situation you have two sides of the issue. Carol lee, in the wreath journal reports that the fbi said that wall street journal reports that the fbi said that transcripts say Michael Flynn did not discuss sanctions. On the other hand you have the Washington Post and the New York Times asserting that the Intelligence Community finds that general flynn had spoken about sanctions with the russian ambassador. So i would say let the situation play out. Let the president decide very slowly. And given the fact that there are these conflicting intelligence estimates the fbi is an intelligence service. Right, right. Carol let me ask you, we want to talk to you because you are a reporter with the wall street journal. What do you know . We reported actually that sanctions were discussed in the conversations between the National Security adviser flynn before he was National Security adviser and the russian ambassador. But what the fbi, what our understanding is that there wasnt an explicit promise made, which is a difference. You know, but this is so there is the action, and then there is the react. Right now, what folks inside the white house say is that its the fact that flynn was not forthcoming about this, that he misled not just the Vice President but also the chief of staff of the white house and the press secretary and others who spoke very confidently saying no sanctions ever came up in his exchanges with the russian ambassador. In fact when he was really pressed on this this week he said i dont really remember and you look at the transcripts and its in there. He goes up to the media on friday. S that man who watch as lot of tv and reads and tweets. Raymond, carols point to you that on friday afternoon the president said he knew nothing about this story whatsoever . I saw that on air force one when the president made that statement. If that had happened in the reagan administration, which you asked me about before yes. I think that president reagan would have said something in a very similar fashion, that he didnt know anything about it, until he could worket out with his staff. And there is an investigation, as you well know, brooke, going on inside the White House Run by, i gather the chief of staff, Reince Priebus, on the issue of whether or not who knew what, when, and how much was revealed by what kinds of transcripts. Okay. Well, and also go ahead carol. One of the thing that they want to figure out is where everyone is headed, who thinks he should go, and who thinks he shouldnt and thats an active discussion. Carol lee, well look for your paper. I know you are reporting for that next chapter. Raymond, thank you so much as well. There is that. We are also learning fascinating new details about the power struggle within the president s inner circle beyond general Michael Flynn. Source they will our jamie gangel thatt Reince Priebus and sean spicer are also feeling the heat. I have got jamie with me here in, no. Randy evans is with us, a member of the rnc from georgia. Jamie, first to you on your reporting, the knives are out . They are. And you know, when someone louiss that expression in washington, d. Washington, d. C. Its not good. This is also not good whether this is general flynn or the chief of staff or sean spicer. When the president doesnt come out and say that he has someones back, their support, then, you have to worry. He has been so silent on this. Correct. And as we all know, donald trump is not often sisilent. This past weekend he tweeted that Steven Miller did a good job out there. We have not heard anything about these other people. I think the way to put this is, house of cards has nothing on house of trump. And we are seeing a jockeying for power here. And the person that im told is first among equals is steven bannon. Steve bannon. Who is the chief strategist. He has done something that i think is very interesting. He makes alliances. So he may make an alliance with soninlaw Jared Kushner on one thing, with Reince Priebus on the other. At the ends of the day he is the one, team bannon, with steve miller who is really in the best shape. He has his ear before he goes to bed. My question is, who stands up to President Trump . Who says no, it might not be a good idea . I think weve learned that nobody does. Nobody . I mean people will to a certain point. Ive been told even his children will only go so far. You have to remember you have some people in there who are lowlyists. They have been with him forever. He says jump, they say how high. Thats just his personality and their work. And people like chief of staff Reince Priebus, sean spicer, White House Press secretary, these are people that the republican establishment were hoping would get in there and discipline him. It doesnt work that way. And they are trying to feel their way. But as a result we see a lot of chaos and confusion. Randy evans, let me ask you here about this conversation, adding on to jamie. The conversation that brine stelter had over the weekend with news max executive christopher reddy, who is apparently a good friend of Donald Trumps. He told him that Reince Priebus is in over his head. I think there is a lot of weakness come out of chief of staff. I think Reince Priebus, good guy, well intentioned. But he clearly doesnt know how the federal agencies work and i think the president is not goating the backup he needs in the operation of white house. And sometimes the pushback that he needs, which you would have with a stronger white house counsel. White house chief of staff. Ranee, you know rhines well. Let me add in some of our reporting is that Reince Priebus is having to follow the president around be part of his conversations, linen stead of actually doing his chief of staff duties. Is there a risk of Reince Priebus not then getting to do his job . I dont think so at all. I think rhines is actually doing a pretty phenomenal job. It reminds me so much, brooke of the first hundred days whenever speaker gingrich took over in 1995. Which is its a lot. First of alling you have got three dynamics at play. One is you have the peter principle, which is everybody wants the bring their people up. But congressional staffers dont always work so well in the Speakers Office and staffers a the rnc dont always work so well in the white house. Second of all, what you have is a constant battle for turf. A constant battle for this kind of building alliances. And i thought that it was a great comment to say, yeah, thats whats going on. Finally, you also have a little battle fatigue going on because it is a lot in 24 days. This presidency you have to agree with me, brooke, seems like its a lot longer than just three weeks. Thats thank you. Thats randy what i was going to say. Is that we are just 23 days in. I mean, i understand the turf issues, and the loyalty factor and every administration has personal shakeups. But its just been 23 days. Thats right. And so i am actually rather surprised that there havent been more miscues, more broken eggs, a more little bit open turf battles going on. I think a rt large part of that how do you explain the leaks randy . The leaks are new people. To be candid with you the more new people you bring in. President trumps first rule of thumb i dont want the washington establishment. I want new people coming in. When you have new people coming in you bring in leaks. As you and i know the people who know the most say the least. And the people who know the least say the most. Want to talk. Exactly right. They want to prove maw important they are. We always see that in a new administration. We saw that in the first 100 days of the congress. Im just astonished that rhines has been able to keep everything pretty much under control. I think its a skill set he developed as being the chairman of the rnc where we had everything from ted cruz to rand paul to jeb bush to lindsay graham. We had them all at one time, 17 of them, on the stage, trying to compete. And he kept the party together. He is taking that skill set and now he is using it in the white house to kind of keep it together when the Pressure Cooker, the Pressure Cooker of action is the greatest. I dont know. I think he is doing a pretty good job you. Heard randy, jamie. Lay in. Last thought. Rhines preeb success a great guy. I did a big profile on him. We spent a lot of time behind the scenes with him. But he has never done this particular job before. And i dont think weve ever had a president fair to say, like donald trump before. So i think the challenges here are beyond what anyone could imagine. Imagine. Jamie, rappy, thank you all very much. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Coming up here, when north korea launched its missile over the weekend, the president openly discussed strategy in a crowded dining room of his home down in palm beach, which is certainly raising some eyebrows. Well discuss all these details coming up next. Also ahead, the president s adviser handles peddles claims of voter fraud with absolutely zero evidence.

For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Why pause a spontaneous moment . Cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph.

Welcome back, you are watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. Moments ago, President Trump named north korea as one of the biggest security threats facing the United States. Saturday night, the regime launched a missile statement President Trump was eating dinner in a crowded dining room in his mara lago estate in florida with the Prime Minister of japan, shinzo abe. Cnn reports the president took the call in the crowd and afterwards discusses the call openly as his iceberg salad said on the table. His aids even held up the camera lights from their joerks phones to the sensitive documents so the president could read them over the candle lit dinner table. All these details from the white house. The evening meal quickly morphed into a strategy session, his Decision Making on full view to anyone in the private club. Fareed zachia joins me, host of Fareed Zakaria gps. Always great to see you. Before we get into options that President Trump has what do you make of all those details that i just read . Look, everything President Trump does is unorthodox. I dont think it is a big deal.
