>> because there is a difference and because you are not actually interested in the future of the republican party, and our nominees. that is not a slam on you mika but i have to choose moderators that are actually interested in the republican party and our nominees. it is not going to be nbc if they continue to go forward with this mini series. >> on high alert after the newest terror threat, two more u.s. drone strikes today kill at least eight suspected al qaeda militants in yemen. we will talk to the former nsa director michael hayden about the nation's security as the president rallied the troops yesterday. >> here is what those who would cowardly attack our civilians don't get. the united states is never going to retreat from the world. we don't get terrorized. good day, i'm andrea mitchell in washington where officials say they saw no utility in having the president meet with vladimire putin over eric snowden and the disagreements over removal of president assad, and so was this maybe lost in translation. >> this is my last election and after my election, i have more flexibility. >> i understand. >> former white house press secretary and msnbc contributor robert gibbs joins me now and you know the back story and you have been in the meetings, and what is the dynamic between president obama and vladimire putin. >> i don't think that the dynamic is particularly good or strong. you showed president medvedev who president obama had a very strong working relationship with, and quite frankly, i think that president medvedev wanted to bring russia into the international community in a positive way. i don't think that president putin shares any of those same tendencies, and he seems to thrive off of the domestic political benefit he gets from being veir rently being anti-u.. >> and there are some who say he should go to moscow and confront h him. >> you want to go to the some summit and stop thinking that you agree on everything. >> how refresh iing. >> but i think that the spectacle of, of the relationship of the fact that you wouldn't agree maybe on to choose moderators who are actually interest ed in the republican party and our nominees. >> that is exactly what gibbs was talking about, guys. s susan, you have been through so many of these debates and all of the arguments going back to when jim baker was negotiating for the republicans, and very smartly in fact, and trying to limit the number of debates that his candidates would have to endu endure. what is going on here? >> well, nothing serves a ka candidate better than to go before an audience or questioner who seems to be unfriendly in handling himself or herself well. >> isn't that how reagan used to call, and president reagan used to call on the aggressive reporters, and the sort of outlying reporters just when he want wanted to develop sympathy from the television audience. >> and sarah mcclendon got questions all of the time, because you knew it would be anningan aggressive question, and the president could respond in humor and good feeling. if you want to be the president, you should take questions from all comers and be prepared to take the questions from reporters from all kinds of news organizations and democrats should be going on fox for debates and republicans should be going on the outlets that they believe are not so friendly for them and that serves presidents well and candidates well and it is frankly part of the job. >> and chris cillizza, what do you make of what the republican party is trying to do in response to what we, a lot of us feel is a really bad idea which are these hillary films? >> well, a couple of things going on here, andrea, that are not immediate evident but the motivation. the biggest thing frankly is fund-raising. look, attacking hillary clinton in the mainstream media for propping her up which is what he is doing is absolute gold for the republican party and their small donor base who reacts vehemently and with their wallets to that thing. and reince priebus has said previously prior to the whole thing that he has said previously 23 debates which is what they were, and 23 primary debates in 2012 are far too many and we need to limit them and the exposure of the kancandidat and yes the publicity of the debates and having the ideas heard, but there were too many. so it is part and parcel of that, too. i would be with you on the separation of the news division and the entertainment division, but unfortunately the average person does not make those distinctions and we struggle with the editorial board of the washington post and the news arm of the washington post which never the twain shall meet. and people don't always understand that either. so that is the rub of you and me included, but i think that reince is at something more creative here as it relates to money raising. >> and i want to switch topics before i let you guys go, because the san diego mayor is in rehab or is in therapy for this week and next. but now, susan, new accusations about filner and a wounded marine and other women in a support group, and this is when he was a member of congress and the veterans affairs committee, and he visits this women's support group and women who had been sexually assaulted, and comes on to them. ? unbelievable. he is two weeks into rehab and this is not enough. >> this saul allegation. >> yes, of course, but it is in the face of a series of allegations, by very credible women who say that they were abused by him. he was chairman of the veterans committee, and he was seen as a pretty good advocate for veterans, and he is accused of doing this stuff. it is really, it is hard to imagine that he is going to survive this, these additional allegations about his behavior. >> susan page, thank you for being here, and chris cillizza. meanwhile out in california a wildfire in southern california raging out of control today. a so-called silver fine which is 95 miles east of l.a. is spreading rapidly due to the dry conditions and the high winds in the area. so far the blaze has scorched more than 15 square miles of land and destroyed more than a dozen structures and including a number of homes and zero percent contained as of right now, and 1,500 people have been evacuated and two firefighters and one resident have been injured. the new guy is loaded with protein! i'll believe it when i--- [ both ] oooooh...
