But while sadler apologized to mccains daughter, there has not been an apology from her or from the white house. Some say its long overdue. The comment was denigrating and incensensitiveinsensitive. John mccain is an american hero, hes a United States senator and hes a good friend of mine. The best way for this to be put to rest and it should have happened immediately would have been for the white house to issue a public apology to the entire mccain family. Trump should, too, the president himself . I think it would be helpful if the president made clear that those kinds of comments are not acceptable rather than criticizing the leaker. And the leaker is who President Trump has targeted in a tweet saying, quote, leakers are traitors and cowards. Lets turn to manu raju. Tell us how this luncheon is going between the president and republican senators. Reporter its still ongoing. The president met with senator mcconnell and walked into the room just behind me, there was a round of applause going in and there may be some Common Ground on some key issues, namely about whether not to scrap that august monthlong recess where the senate was going to leave town, campaign for the elections and the mid terms, but under pressure from President Trump and some republican senators, im told that senator mcconnell, the majority leader, is seriously considering scrapping some, if not all of that august recess. But there are some concerns that members also will raise in this meeting. One is the president s tweet from over the weekend talking about saving that Chinese Electronics making zte. Youre hearing krns frconcerns number of republicans about what the president means by this and they want some clarification. And it remains to be seen about whether anyone brings up the remark that the white house aide kelly sadler made about senator mccain. Today a number senators, including senator rubio said the president and at least the white house should apologize for that remark. I believe so. Certainly the comments that were made and no ones decide they were made. I find them to be offensive and i think more indicative of what our politics has become so angry and bitter. Shouldnt the president set an example here . The president will have to make a decision about how he chooses to use the platform. I would want to and i would want everyone in Public Office to do. The president is actually just leaving. Lets listen in. All right, so we just saw the president come from the lunch and walk there toward the Elevator Bank so hes going to be departing the hill. Manu, were waiting to see exactly how this lunch went, if he got an earful, if theres a lot of unity going into the mid terms as well. Yeah, no question. And most likely youre probably going to hear mostly unity. This is a conference that does realize that the senate could be at risk of flipping ahead of november. They want to be on the same page as the president. Youve seen past meetings like this have been largely collegial affairs. I expect something similar today, even if they do have some serious concerns about the things that the president has been saying, things the white house has been doing, including a remark from much to say but senators undoubtedly will, brianna. Manu, we know youre going to get those answers for us. Thank you so much. Remember the president s tweet that slammed leakers, it concerns his staff and his staff what been under a cell phone ban. Its not based on the honor system. There are men in suits carrying large handheld scannertype devices, who have been seen walking through the halls of the west wing looking for contraband phones and devices. They say they can determine what kind of device has gotten through, the kind that shouldnt be there. Joining me is dana bash and brian fung, a tech reporter for the washington post. So there was a leak to describe how the white house tries to prevent leaks. In fact, actually when this band went into place, it was very upsetting that immediately the memo he wrote about why this ban was going to be out there was out there. It is a very tough environment, people who go to the white house, people who talk to staff inside the white house. It has been heightened by the fact that the boss, the president of the United States is really, really upset about leaks to point where he is tweeting, as you said, rightly, at his own staff. Having said that, in this particular case, the whole discussion about leaks is a smoke screen because the real issue is what Susan Collins told manu raju and what every republican encountering a reporter on capitol hill already is enough already, its been five, six, seven days. Apologize. And in talking about leaks, which im not saying its not a problem, but in this particular case, its trying to kind skirt around the bigger question. And its not like these issues stop the leaks. People can leak without an unauthorized cell phone. But lets just talk about the intrigue about what our Kaitlin Collins has been reporting. She describes a scene of you go into the white house, if you do have a personal cell phone, you put them in there and the lockers are chirping and buzzing from 6 a. M. To 8 p. M. But its not an honor system. You have men in suits going around. What are they using to defect these devices . Ive spoken to a number of experts on this and there are a number of different types of devices that they could be using to try and detect what types of cell phones might be in use, on an unauthorized basis. One technology that is commonly used in these sorts of scenarios are called stingrays, which is a particular brand of cell site simulator. So basically pretends to be a real cell site and then connects to all the phones that are in a particular area. And lots of Different Police and Law Enforcement agencies around the country use this and theyre very secretive about how theyre used and when theyre used but we do know that they are being used. And what stingrays do generally is depending on the type or level of sophistication of the device being used, they can either pick up the identifying serial numbers of the phones, they could pick up cell phone call meta data, so tracking who is being called and for how long. In some cases they may even be able to pick up which web sites a particular phone is going to. Its fascinating. There are other devices, too. There are devices that Law Enforcement can use that would essentially just pick up r. F. Signals from the phone. Thats another type of technology that could be employed here, although it would be much harder to tell which youre talking about Law Enforcement, which generally is the police going after potential criminals or suspects or witnesses. Were talking about the white house. Were talking about staffers in the white house that the level of distrust is that high paranoia, would you say . Paranoia, back biting, at that that type of technology has the potential to be needed and used . The irony here is that in some cases, this technology is deployed at prisons to detect unauthorized feelings at prisons. Some people feel that way about their workplace, not just the white house. Well make that joke. Thank you dana and brian, for your great expertise. We have breaking news. Theres no sign of peace in gaza. A day after ivanka trump helped celebrate the move of the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem. The white house is putting the blame fully on hamas for the deaths of more than 60 people. And just days after President Trump assad hes working to save jobs in china, questions are emerging about a 500 million loan and a project in indonesia. And a dock pick window shatters, sucking the copilot halfway out of the aircraft. Lets go to Mitch Mcconnell speaking life. New developments abroad, not only the decision on iran but also highlighted the meeting on june 12th in singapore. We were all in a celebratory mood as a result of having approved the 21st circuit judge just a few moments ago. That means that 1 8, 1 8 of the circuit judges in america have been appointed by donald trump and confirmed by this republican senate. So we think were making dramatic progress on that front as well. And of course everyones excited about the condition of the economy and the way the country seems to be in an upbeat mood heading into the fall election. Tomorrow the Senate Intelligence committee will vote gina haspel, quite likely the most accomplished person ever to be nominated as cia director. She reiterated this morning in a letter to senator mark warner, the Ranking Member on the intelligence committee, that she did not believe that the cia should ever restart any of the Interrogation Program for which she is falsely accused of participating in. Actually, she learned about the program in some detail a year after members of Congress Like nancy pelosi and others were briefed in detail on it after 9 11. I would just say that john brennan, who is the number four at the cia, who was confirmed with a vote of 64 bipartisan votes in the senate, he was number four at the cia, where when she was there she was the equivalent of a major lieutenant krn colonel. I think the democrats are running out of excuses to block this highly qualified nominee senator john cornyn there backing up the president s cia pick. We have reporting what did not happen in that lunch, which is particularly intriguing. That is that the mccain, the lack of apology to his family for what this lowlevel aide said about him, did not come up at the luncheon, according to three senators. This did not come up. They said that the mccain issue did not come up, only a couple of questions were asked at all and the issue about the mccain apology was not one of them, despite the fact that weve had republican after republican come to the cameras, talk to manu, talk to others and talk to us about the fact that they thought an apology was necessary. Clearly listening to Mitch Mcconnell, what theyre trying to do is get on offense, get in campaign mode. We are not that far from election day and the theme that you heard from Mitch Mcconnell, the summit coming up in north korea, the idea of the economy doing extraordinarily well, theyre trying to promote peace and prosperity as something that is a good thing and a reason why republicans should be reelected and maintain control. The question of course is whether that is going to fly or whether that is going to be drown out by the resistance, the antitrump, a trum antitrump, antiresistance forces which have seen to be pretty powerful in some of the preelection information weve seen. Were back in a moment. Once there was an organism so small no one thought much of it at all. People said it just made a mess until exxonmobil scientists put it to the test. They thought someday it could become fuel and power our cars wouldnt that be cool . And thats why exxonmobil scientists think its not small at all. Energy lives here.

Tensions remain high on the israeli gaza border after the u. S. Moved its embassy. At least 60 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces. Hamas has vowed retaliation for the death. Israel is facing International Condemnation for its use of force against the pro tessers but the Trump Administration has a strong statement of support. The white house is saying hamas is squarely responsible for the deaths and that israel has a right to defend itself. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley distancing the decision to move thees embassy from the violenc. The violence comes from those who reject the existence of the state of israel in any location. Such a motivation, the destruction of a United Nations member state, is so illegitimate as to not be worth our time in the skouns other than the time it takes to denounce it. Yesterdays opening of our embassy in jerusalem is a cause for celebration for the american people. Moving the u. S. Embassy so jerusal to jerusalem was the right thing to do. Cnn Global Affairs correspondent elise laffit is covering this from jerusalem. Asked whether jerusalem should show more restraint, the white house responded hamas should bear responsibility for the entire situation. Theres a perception that this is the u. S. Picking a side. Reporter well, yeah, of course they picked a side, brian brianna. Usually in previous years, you would caveat that israel has a right to defend itself but we urge restraint on both sides. Youre not even hearing that caveat use restraint. Youre hearing it from the other sides. Those can i countountries are s hamas is responsible, they are insta ga instigating it but israel has to use restraint and calibrate how theyre responding. I think youre going to see this administration pay more attention to gaza as Jared Kushner and greenblatt roll out their peace deal. You would think the administration would start to show a little bit more understanding for whats going on there. I think that if President Trump can talk to kim jong un, i think there are going to be a lot of people wondering why he cant talk to hamas. Elise laffit in juerusalem, thank you for that report. As blood spilled just miles away, ivanka trump and Jared Kushner were all smiles. It was highlighted on the cover of the new york daley news with the head line daddys little ghoul. It says her smile was undoubtedly offered to distract from the mayhem and death that any thoughtful person could have anticipated. Michael, there is your oped, what ivankas smile cant hide. You clearly think she was a poor messenger on behalf of the United States in this case. Why in. Well, i think if this had been a policy well thought out and seriously considered, they would have sent someone with serious diplomatic experience. Maybe nikki haley should have gone to represent the United States but instead we get the president s daughter, who was appointed after a lifetime of working for her father in the real estate business and two pastors, whose record is filled with condemnations of the jewish people. These are pastors who say that only evangelical christians of their sort of favored by god and everyone else is damned for eternity. So for this and many other reasons, this spectacle yesterday was incredibly painful for much of the world. And all of it was done with no Reciprocal Exchange on behalf of the palestinians or the peace process. President trump just bargained away the status of jerusalem and got nothing in return. I have to ask you, michael, when i look at your oped and specifically when i look at the New York Daily News cover where theres this specific focus on ivanka, yes, she was there and she had this moment where she is doing the unveiling, it does feel like the Ribbon Cutting of maybe a trump property or something sort of like that, the Ribbon Cutting of a new building but Jared Kushner was there giving the substantive speech with a lot of controversial material in it. Steven mnuchin was there representing the administration. Why the focus on ivanka when theres clearly the role of these other prominent member of the administration . Well, i think its important to focus on her because her presence was really intended as a smoke screen, as it often is. She is the softer side of the trump family, shes supposed to lend a segentle air to whatever policy is b
