worldwide. in his first speech abroad he urged them to purge their communities of, quote, the foot soldiers of evil. the man who campaigned heavily on a proposed muslim ban today asked islamic leaders in the middle east to unite with america in the global fight against terrorism. let s get out to nick robinson in the saudi capital where president trump gave that speech today. nick. reporter: ana, part of president trump s message seemed to be to alleviate the concerns of those in the room that under president obama they lost the support of the united states. he said our friends never need to question our support, a reassuring message for those in the room, but he had a tone that was designed, if you will, draw the audience in. he said, i m not here to tell you how to live your lives, that we have common values, and through those common values we can find common security. he also said that what s troubling the region is not an issue of a contest between faith. this is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilizations. this is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human ligfe and decet people, all in the name of religion. people that want to protect life and want to protect their religion. this is a battle between good and evil. reporter: but he also made the point that it was up to the countries in the middle east to take this into their own hands, to take the issues into their own hands, not to leave it to the united states to drive the terrorists from their places of worship, he said, to drive the terrorists from their lands. he said they needed to be honest in how they faced up to this issue of islamic extremism. of course, there is still much work to be done. that means honestly confronting the crisis of islamic extremism and the islamists and islamic terror of all kinds. we must stop what they re doing to inspire because they do nothing to inspire but kill. reporter: there was no sign of dissent among the 55 presidents, prime ministers, amirs and kings gathered in the room. but at a late forum, the emirate foreign minister was critical of european nations saying they couldn t point the finger at the middle east and say the extremist problem is in the middle east, that they in europe have a problem that they need to deal with that problem, that if they don t deal with it, then there will be more extremists coming from europe than the middle east. very strong language. not saying that the united states was at fault, but pointing the finger at europe. this message, this idea that president trump s visit could be an historic reset between the west and the arab muslim world, well, the emirate foreign minister appearing to undermine that. ana. nic robertson, thank you. inside arabia tonight. what is being described as a watergate scandal continues to bear down on the white house. we re learning the house intelligence committee has asked to interview caputo who has tie toss russia and who worked there a number of years. we want to bring in mike quigley, on the house intelligence committee. thank you for joining us, congressman. i know your committee asked to see special documents from caputo. why has he become part of your committee s investigation? well, i will say that there s a long list of who s on our witness list. i mean the good news is the investigation in the house side is back on track. tuesday director brennon will be testifying before us. clear those hearings are beginning again. those references you made to particular individuals, there are a lot of others. we re preparing those deposition like briefings very soon. at the same time we continue to review documents on a weekly basis. i guess the good news is the investigation is back on track while we hear all ofne these prs release statements coming out about particular witnesses. we re going to move forward as a hole. now, a source close to jim acosta or close to the investigation tells jim acosta caputo wants to clear his name in public testimony. is the committee open to that? look, there have been any number of people who are involved in this investigation who have said that they re willing to come forward and clear their name. some have asked for immunity. you know, we have heard that general flynn has asked for immunity. it is way too soon to think about something like that. we have a companion justice department investigation, a senate investigation taking place at the same time. you know, we have to work in concert with both of them as well as a dod investigation of general flynn apparently. we re hoping to open and close hearings. in my mind the more open this investigative process is, the better it is, the american public has a right to know what took place. under each circumstance it will be a little bit different. obviously we can t have confidential top secret information revealed. right. we know the tuesday hearing as far as my understanding of what s on the house intelligent website will be part open, part closed. you talked about jim brennon coming on. what do you want to ask him? you know, the big question would be when did the intelligence community find out exactly what the russians were doing, particularly hacking, and how did they react? how quickly and effectively did they respond? another series of questions would obviously be, you know, what are the russian s goals? what are their tactics? where are they taking this tactics on across the world? what is their overall plan there and here in the united states? now, just this weekend we learned that president trump apparently bragged to the russians about firing former fbi director james comey, that comey believed the president was trying to influence him. what s your reaction to this new reporting? you know, what s disturbing about all of this is ever since the investigation began i felt like the white house was attempting to distract and deflect and delay the investigation. the revelations that have taken place in the last month are far more disturbing. they approach obstruction, you know, firing the person who s investigating you. threatening them with tweets, adam baily. blue moon is brewed mwith valencia orange peel, for a taste that shines brighter. i m dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. energy lives here. well it s a perfect nespresso hold on a second.orge. mmm.

i think it is difficult to generalize because there is not a single trump voter. there are many types of trump voters. the two broad buckets i would put some of the conversations i ve had with some of the trump supporters in the past day or so is that, you know, there are folks who are certainly a little bothered maybe by some of the things that they re hearing, some folks who won t be especially happy he has discarded some of the tougher rhetoric during the campaign, but fundamentally they re going to stick with him. i think you have the core group of trump voters who because american politics is fundamentally an us versus them game, they re never going to abandon trump. that s probably, my guessst around, about 20 pearls of the electorate. those folks, while they may be a little unhappy with things trump does day-to-day, at a impression that they re not getting a whole lot done. now, of course, it has only been 120 days so far, so that feeling hasn t really set in very deeply, but i do think that if a year from now we re looking back on the same basic arguments we ve been having, the same twitter battles, the same investigation and no major pieces of legislation have been bass pass, there haven t been material improvements in some of the issues that drove people to vote for trump in the first place, i think that will cause some significant political problems for him down the road. j.d., we only have like 30 seconds, but when it comes to the russia investigation, which obviously the huge news back here at home, presume has called it a witch hunt. he s basically said it is a hoax in some ways. do his supporters care about getting to the bottom of russia s meddling in the election? well, some of them certainly do, and i think there are a lot of folks that are concerned about it though, like i said, no current to the point they re ready to completely discard their man. but i will say that this implements something much more fundamental and troubling in our public discourse, is that people don t trust the media. a lot of times you hear folks who will be a little worried about what they re hearing coming out of the trump/russia investigation, but at the same time they ll say, look, we don t trust the press. that s something bigger than the republican party or donald trump, but it is difficult for us to have the conversation when we don t have shared facts and we can t have shared facts when we have at least some acceptance of who is giving us the facts. robert mueller facing criticism from an unlikely place. what the sports world has to say about the man leading the russia investigation. plus, startling video of a sea lion yanking a small girl into the water. what led up to this terrifying moment captured on video. like new creamy lobster pasta toasted parmesan shrimp and southern-style crab cakes. come create your trio before it ends. brtry new flonase sensimists. allergy relief instead of allergy pills. it delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. most allergy pills only block one. new flonase sensimist changes everything. have you any wool?eep, no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baa baa with renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane was caught selling the stolen goods online. visit geico.com and see how easy it is to switch and save on renters insurance. it s about moving forward, not back.t. it s looking up, not down. it s being in motion. in body, in spirit, in the now. boost® high protein it s intelligent nutrition with 15 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for when you need a little extra. boost® the number one high protein complete nutritional drink. be up for it that the essence of integrity is a promise kept. if you ve got the time welcome to the high life. we ve got the beer miller beer well, what are you doing o take care otomorrow -10am?

we know he came from a law firm that had tons of nfl executives that came from the lanranks of wilmer hail. we see one of the partners represents jared kushner and e ivanka trump. he has taken a leave from wilmer hale because of conflict of interest. don t you think it is vastly different this time? yes. he had a mandate to investigate the national football league and he played it very light. when it was done, all of the power players were still in play. he was not an exterminator, he was a deodorizer so the league could keep the trains running on time. what does it tell us if anything about how he will approach this investigation? i frankly don t have an answer to that question, but i think the reason why and i m certainly not alone in this a lot of folks in the sports world were far more skeptical he would come in and be the cleanup man on this particular case, because we saw what happened with the national football league. for a lot of us, it is like that s our first exposure to robert mueller, so wire likhatg to change with this guy. still to come, the president may have some explaining to do it. is headed to israel in a few hours. there s a good chance you will be asked about intel he reportedly leaked to the russians. next, prime minister netanyahu s message prior to his arrival. 4g lte network in america. it s basically made for places like this. honey, what if it was just us out here?

i doubt it. i think there s a lot of concern among israeli intelligence officials but netanyahu wants to get along with trump. trump offers the same thing as he is offering the saudis, first of all a hard line giagainst ir which is what israeli wants. if benjamin netanyahu gets those two things he will leave the intelligence people to deal with it privately in terms of future interactions with their american counterpart and make it all smiles with trump. he had a message for the president, and he put it on twitter, one of the president s favorite platforms. mr. president, we look forward to your visit. the citizens of israel will receive you with open arms. would it be in the united states and the president s best interests to, i guess, to be too friendly with netanyahu in this visit? no, i think it is very much in trump s interest to be friendly with netanyahu. israel is very popular inside the republican party. but in terms of the peace deal, i imagine there s some sensitivity in terms of how he addresses this. david miller for example said it probably wouldn t push the ball forward if he were to walk away with all smiles during this visit. i don t believe there s a ball. i think it is to be honest i think it is a far ace. i don t think donald trump has the basic level of knowledge or stamina or patience that would be required to make a serious effort towards palestinian/israeli peace, plus the circumstances are not right for it. the palestinians are weak and divided, benjamin netanyahu doesn t want a palestinian think. it looks like a lot of theater. the real game is america supporting a harder line against iran, which is what the saudis and israelis want. i think in terms of the palestinians, i think benjamin netanyahu will have a free rein. this region is obviously complex. we learned today that the u.s. ambassador, friedman, he was at the jerusalem day celebrations. that was seen as controversial, that move. how do you think the saudis received that? i think truthfully the saudis don t care that much about the palestinians. what they really care is about an american president who is going to support their cold war against iran, their war in yemen, and the palestinians for them take a back seat to all of that. they know that donald trump i suspect they know is not going to do very much on the palestinian cause, but they re a self-interested government and the palestinians are not their priority. jared kushner was supposed to be the man to broker the middle east peace deal. do you expect him to take on a larger role during this visit? sure, but in what universe would we think jared kushner has the qualifications to do that? he has no expertise or golf classic ground on this whatsoever. so, you know dow think it is odd he was given this task? you know, look, he has been given a huge number of tasks by donald trump because donald trump runs the government like a family business. basically the people close to him tend to take the jobs in previous administrations professionals also took. he probably sees jared kushner as a liaison to the jewish community. but he doesn t have the background i think would be required to get it done. again, even a much more competent administration would struggle given the circumstances are not very ripe. thanks so much, peter beinart. good the talk with you. thank you. still ahead, president donald trump brought a message to muslims in saudi arabia that sounded nothing like candidate trump. how did this new tone go over with muslims?

it doesn t make a difference. he has done a wonderful job. we are humbled that he started his first word with saudi arabia, and the keyword, drive them out. you know, $100 billion for the american economy and neutralizing the gift of barack obama to iran, making iran a threat to the american allies. we think he has done a good job. whether the threating is coming in the 21st century. he is delivering his man dade. he was received by 50 muslim leaders there and he was received, you know, like a king and everything. right. to be honest with you, we are so happy he achieved his objectives. so, waja ha, you said his speech was only good for golf countries and not for repairing relations with muslims. do not let commentators fawning over it, saudi arabia is smiling ear to ear, they get everything and then some. trump is a businessman, he says the arms deal will create thousands of jobs in the u.s. explain your dismay. it should be called make saudi arabia great again. muslim-americans for trump, respectfully, you re killing me. it is like chickens for colonel sanders. this is what i called a beautiful marriage between ugly hypocrites. donald trump got his dowery by saudi family. he bent and did a curt situate and was given a royal necklace in exchange for saudi arabia forgetis his two year campaign of islamophobia and calling them out for being directly responsible for 9/11 twice and saying they re enablers of terrorism. it was all wash away. i think islam hates us because they got $350 billion worth of arms that they will use to fuel the sectarian war and fire in humanitarian crisis that is yemen, in syria and in lebanon. what is worse, ana, this was not a speech for islam or muslim majority countries. all saudi arabia wants is legitimacy of center of islam that they are not given because it supports an extreme version of islam. donald trump gave them legitimacy, $350 billion worth of arms they will use in yemen, in syria. so saudi arabia is smiling ear to ear. saudi arabia got everything it want. i will say this, sometimes i was listening to the speech i m like, wow, it sounds like a saudi arabia p.r. agent wrote this for donald trump. and if you lavish donald trump with pling and praise he bends and does curt situates. how do you respond? my response is criticizing donald trump these days is a business. a lot of people have opened shops on it. a lot of politicians are trying to get the glory out of it. my say is this, these people a few weeks back were criticizing the ban on countries and he is anti-islam. the bottom line is this. he realized in 21st century is what is a threat is extremism and he is dealing with it. during his campaign he continuously promised he would deliver, and these people, critics i mean will be critics all the time. like i told you, they ve opened up the shop and doing business on criticizing donald trump which is not fair. they re not talking about what happened during the campaign. donald said thing, they re going witch hunting now and criticizing left and right. people are getting sick of it. you think that people who are critics of trump will be critics no matter what. they re not open minded to hearing when he does something positive, is that your viewpoint? thank you. and matter of fact thing is this i wanted to say. first time in american history the president who realized where the future threats are and he has started his trip from saudi arabia, israel and then rome. there should be they should see something before they re criticizing it. this is a wonderful job. only a non- a professional politician would not have done it, taking such a huge risk starting from there. instead of appreciating it, muslims like myself, we are so thankful that because we are victim of terrorism ourselves. who is going to demonize should he have addressed the human rights issues and oppression in that reeg gion as american leader and representing this democracy and some of the values of america? of course. he s there he is there, he is promoting that. $110 billion, that obviously trade deals with the saudis and not only this, six gulf states where did he promote human rights. he didn t. in his remark? no, his is a trade trip. it is not a fashion show trip up there. he s not there to promote the civil liberties or other things. he is going there trying to neutralize what barack obama did, giving $400 million gift to iran, destabilizing the whole region. those are fighting in syria, those are fighting in iraq. those have become a threat to muslim allies. he is trying to neutralize that. it is not too late, come back from the dark side, brother. i still believe in you. there s a light in you still. your shop will be closed pretty soon. ana, i m not an llc right now, but, listen. you got 10 seconds. aim so sorry to cut you off. this is not criticizing for nothing, criticizing for nothing. this was a great short term and long term benefit between trump administration and saudis and the gulf countries for economic gain. that is your opinion. for promotion of defense industries and for a sectarian war that will destabilize the region and increase extremism. we have to leave it there. thank you. people in chicago are raising a collective voice in support of immigrants and refugees in their city. this is called the one chicago campaign, kicked off today. chicago s response to president trump s threat to cut federal funding to so-called sanctuary cities. to date a federal judge has blocked that executive order from going into effect. immigration arrests across the nation are up 40% since trump took office. we have some breaking news just in to cnn. a major development in a brutal killing that happened last night on a college campus in maryland. police have formally charged a university of maryland student with stabbing another student to death, and now maryland police are confirming the killer was a member of a racist facebook group used by more than 1100 people who make the victim from another school. police do not believe he was provoked by the victim. lots to learn here. the name has not bye-bye released. still ahead, chinese dumplings, noodles, patties, are you hungry?

house this past week, but now the ranking member of the house intelligence committee is speaking out. talked with cnn today. where does their investigation go now? well, one of the big things that both the house and senate intel committees are trying to weigh is just how valuable michael flynn, the former national security adviser s testimony will be. of course, the big bombshell at the end of the week is that flynn said he is willing to testify if he is granted immunity for that testimony. he s offered this up to both of those committees. he has offered it up to fbi and the justice department, but it seems as though the committees in the congress are a little skeptical that there will be any real value in flynn s testimony, at least to the point where they would be willing to take that immunity. this is what adam schiff, that ranking member on the house intel committee, had to stay about it this morning on state of the union. we don t want to do anything that will interfere in any case that the justice department may decide to bring. we also have to determine whether he really can add value to our investigation, whether we need him to learn information we can t learn from other sources. so it is very early i think even to be considering this. we re not ready to consider that. we re not even publicly acknowledging that he s contacted us, and if and when we would talk to general flynn, under what other considerations. we would want to make sure we knew all of the right questions to ask. we re not anywhere close to making those drawing those conclusions yet. but yet this investigation moves forward, and of course the president himself tweeting this week that he encouraging essentially michael flynn to seek immunity as he moves forward in this investigation. just another example of how this situation with russia continues to be a cloud over this white house. all right. thank you to ryan nobles, as we turn to matt rivers now in beijing and discuss the upcoming visit with the president of china coming to the mar-a-lago resort there with the president of the u.s. this week. today president trump, in short, saying the u.s. will take on north korea with or without china. has there been any reaction there yet? reporter: nothing official yet, ana, but when we ghetto fishl reaction later on today, which we are expecting here in beijing, i think you can expect the chinese to be as consistent as they have been in the past, which is to say they are rock solid in how they approach this issue. what they ve been saying for went over ten years now is that the only way to solve the ongoing crisis in the korean peninsula is through negotiations, whether it is under the kind of framework like the six-party talks that ultimately failed back in the mid 2000s or with a new round of direction negotiations between the united states and the regime in pyongyang. that according to the chinese is the only way you can bring some sort of lasting peace and stability and get pyongyang to stop its weapons development program. of course, on the other side of the equation here you have the trump administration arguing it is actually china that should be using its economic leverage over pyongyang to get the kim jong-un regime to stop developing these nuclear weapons. china does have a lot of economic leverage. it is north korea s only major trading ally on the world stage. i think when both presidents meet for the first time in mar-a-lago later on this week, this is certainly going to be very, very high up the agenda, given how tense the situation remains in this part of the world. matt rivers, our thanks to you. let s talk more about all of this with former ambassador to south korea and iraq, christopher hill. he is now dean of the university of denver. he was also the lead u.s. negotiator of the six-party talks. ambassador hill, thank you for spending some of your sunday night with us. now, when president trump hosted japan s leader in february at mar-a-lago, i think we spoke on that night as north korea hit the launch on a missile there. how likely is that north korea might act out again during the chinese president s visit? you know, it is possible they could do it. i mean they tend to do these things on their own schedule, but certainly there have been expectations and some indications that they may want to do another test, and they you know, it could come when they re sitting in mar-a-lago talking about what to do about the north koreans. i don t think it is going to help the north korean cause much, but i think the really interesting thing will be how the chinese size up donald trump and how donald trump sizes up the chinese. president trump said today about his upcoming mar-a-lago meeting with china s leader, quote, i have great respect for china. i would not be at all surprised if we did something that would be dre dramatic and good for both countries and i hope so. that was a quote from the interview with the financial times. ambassador, what would a major deal with china potentially look like? first of all, a grace note from donald trump on china is kind of a good sign. usually when you pull a rabbit out of a hat in a summit it is because you spent a lot of time stuffing that rabbit down the hat, and so we re not really sure any of that has gone on. but certainly i think there will be some some effort to say, look, chinese, if you can really, really throttle them back on this through sanctions, work on their access to your financial system, work on your trade of raw materials with them and, you know, meanwhile we ll keep the door open to a lot of things. you know, we re not interested in going right to a military solution here, but we really need some help. it will be that kind of discussion. you know, there s been this kind of desultory thing where the chinese turn to us and say, come on, u.s., we have to talk to these people, and we say, no, you need to do more. in fact we need to work together on this problem. president trump has signalled he does not plan to press human rights issues during this visit. why do you think that is? you know, i think there s a time and place for that, but i think there s a broad feeling in the analytical community that north korea is making progress on its nuclear weapons, and it is kind of time that that issue gets front and center in the u.s./china relationship. maybe in the entire international list of concerns. so my hope is that they really will focus on north korea. it doesn t mean that they can t focus on human rights at another time, another place, but i really think north korea ought to be front and center. this problem is coming down the tracks. i would also like to get your take on another thing that caught my eye in this financial times interview. president trump saying so far he has no regrets about his style or his agenda, but that governing is harder than he thought. ambassador, it kind of seemed like a moment where president trump was humble. is that how you see that? well, i think that whole healthcare issue really was kind of, you know, clear to him that this was a lot more difficult than he thought. you just can t tell people what to do. it is hard to scare people. they want you to show how you re really going to do something to them, so they call your bluff all the time. so if you thought healthcare was tough, wait until he gets a load of the north koreans. i mean these are people who absolutely don t care what anyone else thinks. and so he has to solve this because he doesn t want to face the american people in 2020, having had north korea deliver or announce a deliverable nuclear weapon that could reach the united states. and when it comes to china, does his style or his erratic nature help him in any way in terms of negotiating with china? well, to be frank, they re not thrilled with iraq. no one is. but they do like decisive. they do like strong. i mean don t forget they got along great with richard nixon. they tended to get along with america s leaders who they perceive as strong and decisive, but they worry about this erratic side. i think that s why this face-to-face meeting which will go on for i mean they re going to have a couple of days down there at mar-a-lago, and i hope they will get to take the measure of each other and perhaps make some progress. do you think kim jong-un might be worried about how donald trump would respond? you know, this is a guy who seems to be right out of a mad magazine, what, me worry? type of person. on the other hand, he has to be a little concerned because we re getting to the point where we can t be patient anymore. we can t say, oh, this problem is important, but it is not urgent or immediate. it is urgent, it is important, and i think the united states is really going to have to deal with this. obviously we have to really tighten up those alliances with japan and south korea. that s number one. but certainly number two is a clear understanding with the chinese of what we would do, what we wouldn t do, and we need to get a clear sense of the chinese take this with the seriousness that, frankly, the rest of the civilized world takes it. this white house has said that north korea is the greatest international threat to this country. do you agree? i m there. i mean i think the issues going on in the middle east really can t be left on their own. i mean there are some issues, you try to leave them on their own and hope they go away. that s not going to go away, so that s tough. but i think in terms of a country that kind of threatens us with nuclear weapons, i think we have to take it very seriously, and i would put it right up there number one. i mean the issue is if north korea has a provocation against south korea, they move on south korea in some way, will the united states be prepared to do what we have to do which is intervene on south korea s part if we re also concerned that north korea might fire off a missile? obviously we can retaliate in a way that would finish north korea. i mean it would become the proverbial parking lot, but is it good enough after having lost many thousands of americans? i doubt it. so i think this really needs to be taken with utmost seriousness. all right. ambassador christopher hill, good to have you on to niechlt thank you. thank you. coming up, ahead of a supreme court showdown on capitol hill, some good news for republicans. a third senate democrat has announced support for judge gorsuch, but will the gop get enough dems on their team to fend off a filibuster?

reporter: well, anna, the latest democratic senator to come out is joe donnelly out of indiana, and his state voted for trump like the other two democrats. he is furious that mark garland never got the vote, but he says, look, neil gorsuch is qualified. as things stand now, gorsuch is going to need 60 votes for confirmation, and already more than 30 democrats, led by chuck schumer, have said they re going to vote to filibuster. republicans on the other hand say, look, if democrats do that, if they filibuster then the republicans will change the rules. that s called the nuclear option, ana, and that s what we could expect. and so if that happens, republicans don t get the 60 votes they need, they go to the nuclear option, change the rules. i mean does that open a huge can of worms? some have said it could signal the end of bipartisanship period. this has been a long time come. justice ruth bader begins burg said, you know, when i went through it i was put to 96-3 and senator half, a republican, was my biggest ally, and now in this climate he wouldn t touch me with a 10-foot pole. more and more these confirmation hearings are becoming contentious, and one of the key reason is as congress grid locks more of these issues are coming through the court. what this is going to mean, if there is a nuclear option, is that there are going to be more extremist candidates down the road and people are going to believe that the supreme court, the judicial body, is a political body. that s something, ana, that the supreme court justices themselves, they really don t like that. that really bothers them. arianne, what is your gut telling you? any chance judge gorsuch doesn t get confirmed? i ve got to say right now it sure feels like chuck schumer must have his votes lined up, but the end of the day the republicans feel like, look, if you want to filibuster, we re ready to pull the trigger. the democrats, they re really going here on principle. there was a school of thought that said, look, why do this now? you re replacing a conservative with a conservative on the bench. why not wait to trigger this until you get somebody like anthony kennedy or the liberal ruth bader begins burg. but the end of the day, schumer has made clear the democrats want to pus ahead on this now, anna. they re digging in. arianne de vogue. coming up, president trump hitting the greens with senator rand paul. will it be a good fit with his chinese counterpart this week? we will discuss. you are live in the cnn newsroom. energy is amazing. how we use it is only limited by our imagination. and at southern company we re building the future of energy, for you. fixodent plus adhesives. there s a denture adhesive that holds strong until evening. just one application gives you superior hold even at the end of the day fixodent. strong more like natural teeth. or how high the pollen count, flonase allergy relief keeps your eyes and nose clear. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. for relief beyond the nose. flonase. what i wanted my skin to be. i said bright, smooth, you know, with a little glow. bright reveal from l oreal. with glycolic acid. what dermatologists use. diminishes dullness and visibly reduces wrinkles. reveals brighter, younger-looking skin in just one week. one week?

well, first, ana, let me first say that typically is the kind of meeting that would actually take place at the real white house, the one in washington d.c. you know, the president i think has to get over the fact that he s you know, he s not just a hotel/motel owner anymore. he s actually president of the united states. how we conduct our business i think is very, very important. you know, the fact of the matter is that president xi jinping is very experienced in his work. he holds three different significant positions in china, the ambassador from china is leading the preparations for this particular visit. so, you know, they have a sense i m sure of what they want to accomplish, and, unfortunately, at the moment we have no idea what president trump might try to do other than the rhetoric, heated rhetoric from the campaign. well, this gave us a clue perhaps or a little sneak peek of their meeting, mike shields. president trump said this today about the chinese leader s visit. i have great respect for china. i would not be at all surprised if we did something that would be very dramatic and good for both countries, and i hope so. now, in that same interview he said he did not need china s help with north korea, and if they don t want to help, well, the u.s. will go it alone. mike, it seems there are a couple of different tones he is taking with china. yeah. first of all i want to talk about mar-a-lago, and i want the viewers to google it. mar-a-lago was actually designed as the winter white house. it used to be owned by the federal government and it was sold off because no one was using it. it is entirely appropriate for the president not to go to camp david as other presidents have, but to go to what was the winter white house. the reason for that is because you want someone in a setting where you can negotiate. just like work was done on the golf course today with a senator who previously opposed the president on his on obamacare, presume went into louisville and did a rally targeted towards rand paul. now they re out on the golf course doing business together. wonderful. i think the establishment in washington, the media and democrats don t understand how this president operates and that s how you wants it. he is going to say i m moving past obamacare, and maybe we will work on obamacare. he is negotiating, trying to work out a deal, and he is going to say things to china to send signals to them, and then he will send other signals to them just sometimes to get them off of edge, sometimes to push a policy. in the end, the president is trying to put himself in a very, very good negotiating position and that s what he ran on. he ran on being a negotiator who is going to get america better deals than they ve gotten before. so as the process, the sausage making is happening, it might be confusing to cover it, but behind the scenes he is putting himself in a great position of leverage with all of these countries. he did a great deal on the republican healthcare plan. that was just fantastic. that was the you see he is still negotiating. yeah. he is still negotiating. playing golf. instead of the bill written in nancy pelosi s office and shoved down our throats without knowing what is in it, he is negotiating going with regtors to work out a new deal. this bill was written by the republicans and rejected by republicans. we didn t do anything. that s true, very true, you did not do anything. you didn t do anything to make obamacare better. we will agree on that. gentlemen. it is going to implode on its own. here is what the president has done this week alone. let me put up a list here of some of the things we have been watching this week. maybe didn t make the big headlines, but attorney general jeff sessions threatened to defend sanctuary cities. some of president obama s climate change policies were undone. chris christie was chosen to lead the fight on opioid abuse. the meeting with the president of china was announced and the president signed executive orders targeting trade abuse. mayor, my question to you is trump supporters point to these items and say, look, he is actually doing a lot. well, i mean he is showing up for work. i mean, you know, wherever that might be. i mean you don t get a lot of credit for that. the big things, you know, we just talked about healthcare and that debacle. the travel ban, not going too well. we re on round two. that s not going anywhere. not much talk about the wall anymore. that even republicans don t want to pay for. look, there will be day-to-day activity. you know, mr. trump likes a lot of action. he thinks that that is, you know, reflective of getting something done. it is not. so he is still learning how to govern. that would be a new thing for him. meantime, mike, we have the president tweeting this morning that we should all be talking about surveillance and leaks. i mean how effective are those tweets? shouldn t he be calling more attention to some of the accomplishments? why is he focusing so much on that other issue? well, look, i think first of all thanks for putting that up on the screen. i think it is very fair to point out how many things this president has gotten done in the first 65 days of his administration. why isn t the president pointing those things out himself. instead he is talking about surveilled yajs and leaks. yeah, because he is pushing back on what the media and washington d.c. is obsessed with, which is that they re trying to pin some sort of phoney russia story on him even while tons of people are looking for evidence, and there s no evidence of anything have occurred, and in the meantime ignoring what has been happening, which is people were unmasked completely irrelevant to the russian investigation. we don t know that. and possibly for political purposes. fake news. involving the last had. administration. i think the president is trying to he understands he is not getting fair coverage and the way to shoot past that is to tweet to the american people what is going on. i read the washington post news letter with 15 stories in it, zero stories about any of the stuff you put on the screen and nine negative stories. of course, the president is going to tweet himself exactly what we should be focused on. thanks for putting it up again. exactly what we should be focused on as opposed to going through the washington post. think it is entirely proemt for him. mike, why don t you read the l.a. times which says in clear times the president should stop lying, he should have respect for established organizations, and he should actually learn how to govern. i don t care about the golf. he can play golf. he can play checkers or badminton for all i care. he needs to focus on what the american care about, which is governing, real news and leadership. michael nutter and mike shields, thank you for joining us. we are out of time. we will have you back. thanks, ana. thank you. the white house is chock full of millionaires, that s a fact. as precious few officials in top spots with government experience. so will president trump regret that in a crisis? who will he look to for advice? we talk to president obama s right-hand man for his take on this white house. you re live in the cnn newsroom. .and hello to t-mobil right now, get two lines of unlimited data for a hundred bucks. taxes and fees included! two lines, a hundred dollars, all in, all unlimited. switch today. you get to do the dishes.ed. bring em on. dawn ultra has 3 times more grease-cleaning power. a drop of dawn and grease is gone. let me tell you bouts the birds the beesn and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above and a thing called love. let me tell you bout the stars in the sk , a girl and a guy and the way they could kiss on a night like this life s as big as you make it. introducing the all-new seven seater volkswagen atlas and a thing called love. that had built his house once thout of straw.tle pig one day a big bad wolf huffed and he puffed and blew the house down. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped the pig with homeowners insurance. he had replacement cost coverage, so his house was rebuilt, good as new. the big bad wolf now has a job on a wind farm. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. difficult week was added to the staff suggests that he s going to continue in that practice. but i think the most interesting thing about the list you just gave is that not one of them has served a day in government in their lives. not one of them knows the white house or knew the white house before they arrived. not one of them has dealt with congress before this in an official capacity. is that a good thing given that the electorate wanted a change? no, i think it is a terribly bad thing. yes, you re right, the country elected someone to kind of blow up washington, take a blow torch to the status quo. but, you know, look, barack obama ran as an agent of change, and he had some experience in government, but he surrounded himself i didn t have experience in government, but rahm emanuel, the chief of staff, had been in the leadership in congress and six years in the clinton white house. pete rouse who was one of his top aides spent 30 years, including as chief of staff to the majority leader in the senate. and throughout the obama white house there were people that had very, very deep experience. it was for that reason that he was able to pass a recovery act, that he was able to pass the affordable care act, and had one of the most productive first two years of any president since lyndon johnson. he would not have been able to do that if he didn t have people around him. but, ultimately, ana, it flows from the top. now, the president has this week on a twitter tirade of sorts, attacking the freedom caucus, the conservative republican group, after what happened with the healthcare bill. what do you make of president trump s strategy there? was that a smart move to go on the offense against a group within his own party? it is never clear to me what is a strategy and what is an impulse on the part of this president. the fact is a couple of weeks earlier he was he could not have been more cozy with the freedom caucus. in fact, he altered the healthcare bill that was on the floor of the house to please or to try and please the freedom caucus in ways that drove a lot of moderate republicans away. and then on the day that the bill was pulled from the floor, he only had negative words for democrats and blamed democrats for the bill s defeat. so i think if i m a member of the freedom caucus, i m getting whiplash listening and watching this president. you know, i think this goes back to a core issue, which is credibility matters when you re president. no one is going to take your threats seriously and no one is going to take your outreach seriously if they don t think that it will have enduring meaning. and he s going to find it hard to achieve his political goals if he shifts from pillar to post based on his mood of the day. and so i don t know whether it is a strategy or an impulse. again, that was david axelrod. you can check out david s podcast, the x files at cnn.com. our thanks to him for the conversation. still to come, a mystery that has left communities in washington dc in shock and fear. why are girls disappearing and does race have anything to do with how police respond? we will take a closer look at this next. you are live in the cnn newsroom. when you booked this trip, you didn t know we had over 26,000 local activities listed on our app. or that you could book them right from your phone. a few weeks ago, you still didn t know if you were gonna go. now the only thing you don t know, is why it took you so long to come here. expedia. everything in one place, so you can travel the world better. you get to do the dishes.ed. bring em on. dawn ultra has 3 times more grease-cleaning power. a drop of dawn and grease is gone. 2017 alone, and 22 cases were unsolved as of wednesday. cnn law enforcement analyst charles ramsey spent nearly a decade as the police chief in washington d.c. and he is joining me now. chief ramsey, thank you for spending the time to talk about this important issue. i want to talk first about the congressional black caucus now calling for a federal investigation into this. the group sent a letter last week to both attorney general jeff sessions and fbi director james comey, and sessions was briefed on the missing girls on friday. do you agree with lawmakers it has reached a point where a federal investigation is warranted? well, i don t know if a federal investigation is warranted, but certainly we take these matters very seriously. if that would lead to some kind of recommendations on how we can decrease the number of children that wind up missing, then it would be worth while. it just depends on the circumstances. now, d.c. police tweeted this, saying there isn t a spike in missing people in d.c. we are just using social media more to help locate them. sorry to alarm you. here is what we know about these messing cases. metropolitan police have seen over 2,000 missing cases, children specifically, a year since 2014. is this the d.c. police department doing enough to make a difference here in this? yeah, i think so. there s only so much you can do. you have to remember, these are some alarming numbers but most children are returned home safely within a relatively short period of time after they re reported missing. sometimes it is the result of a custody battle. but there are occasions when kids are abducted, and obviously we take these matters very seriously. in some cases an amber alert is put out in order to get the public involved in helping us locate these children, but the number of children that are missing is something that we re always very, very concerned about. so that number, 2,000-ish a year does not alarm you? well, sure, it alarms me. if you ve got people who have children that are missing, but it doesn t mean all of those children are still missing. oftentimes a kid will be on his way home from school, wind up going to a neighbor s house and not call home, and you wind up finding the child within a relatively short period of time. some of the concern that we re hearing from activists and from these lawmakers and the congressional black caucus is that there seems that there are an abnormal number of minority children who are still missing. and when we talked with the center for missing and exploited children they back that up, saying about 57% are people of color who are missing. why do you think that is? i don t know why that is, but it is a disproportionate number of minority children that wind up being reported as missing. again, there s a smaller percentage that are never found, but it is something that s baffling. if there s something, some research or something that could be done to find out exactly why that is that would be helpful. let me read this statement from the d.c. police chief. it says, there is always a concern of human trafficking, but we have no evidence for this. with the number of missing girls being reported in d.c., is there something authorities could do to help calm nerves? well, i think what they re doing now, using social media to try to get a handle on what s going on, maybe somebody has seen the youngster and can report that and then the police can locate her and bring her back to her parents, or him, whichever the case may be. but you do all you can to try to locate these kids. now, some are run aways and they don t want to be found, but there are some cases, unfortunately, where kids are abducted, human trafficking is a huge issue that really flies under the radar across the country to a large extent. so we have to be aware and very vigilant to make sure that our kids don t get caught up in something like that. it sounds like the use of social media could be really useful. as you say, it does draw more attention to the issue. maybe that s a good thing. well, it is a good thing. again, any time you start using a new tool and you raise awareness, people get the impression that somehow it has gotten far worse than it was before. it is bad any time you have one child that s missing. but i wouldn t say that it is any worse now than it was a year or two ago, but it is a good thing that the public is now focused on this because it is a problem. any advice to parents watching tonight? talk to your kids. make sure that they know to check in if they re not going to go straight home, and if something does happen pay attention to what is going on. run, scream, fight, do whatever you have to do if it is a case of abduction, but they need to talk to their kids. don t be afraid to talk to them about something like this. and if they are missing or get lost, go to the nearest police officer. go into a business, let some adult know that they re having a problem. former washington d.c. police chief charles ramsey. thanks for joining us tonight. thank you. we re back in a moment. you re live in the cnn newsroom. 100% guaranteed. there s only one true match for me. and it s perfect. from l oreal. sfx: engine revving (silence) you re not taking these. hey, hey, hey! you re not taking those. whoa, whoa! you re not taking that. come with me. you re not taking that. you re not taking that. you re not taking that. mom, i m taking the subaru. don t be late. even when we re not there to keep them safe, our subaru outback will be.

opposition to the threat of budget cuts to agencies that fund scientific work. the president tweeting a couple hours ago i am committed but always remember it enhances environmental protection. jobs matter. miguel marquez is in washington where demonstrators marched from the mall to capitol hill. miguel? reporter: ana, this is the end point for the march for science. thousands and thousands of scientists and their supporters clog the streets of washington. it was cold, it was windy. where they ended here at the capitol, what they were concerned about was the general tone from the trump administration on science and matters of science on funding. very enormous ly engaging in science in washington, d.c., said they didn t want their work to be sifted through. it certainly had a very political edge to it. ana? thank you, miguel. now to new york where the rain didn t keep away the crowds. here is rachel crane. reporter: i m in a crowded and rainy times square. lots of umbrellas and lots of homemade signs here. educate washington. there s been a lot of spirited and creative posters out here today. there was a rally held at central park that got kicked off with a bunch of elementary school students around the age of 10 talking about how they loved science was. they had the chance to speak to the executive director of the nature conservatory. this is the first time they have marched in their 65-year history pointing out typically the scientific community is nonpartisan. they felt the need to come out and hear their voice. this whole day of action start ed on social media. their march for washington. rachel crane, thank you. coast to coast. let s go to san francisco. people marching in support of si science and against president trump s environmental policy changes and budget cuts. sarah? reporter: huge numbers, thousands of people here. they are here to stand up for science, scientific fact, also to stand up against the trump administration. something about the roll backs and they are reminded that in 1970 that s when this all started, earth day. at that time is when the epa was created. that is not lost on this crowd. you see a number of families coming out here and scientists as well wearing lab coats and bringing very clever signs. a big crowd here in san francisco. it has been a perfect day for this. the heat is rising on the president s environmental policy, the russian cloud still looms over the white house. cnn has exclusively learned russian operatives tried to use trump advisers to infiltrate his campaign, all part of a larger effort to influence the election. carter page is the same adviser the fbi had been monitoring through a fisa warrant. today he denied doing anything inappropriate. are you aware of their efforts at using you to get into the trump campaign? i was never nothing i was ever asked to do or no information i was asked for was anything beyond what you could see on cnn. there s great depth of reporting, nothing i ever talked about with any russian official extends beyond that publicly available, immaterial information, michael. with me now crime and justice producer to help break this exclusive reporting. the fbi had a fisa warrant to monitor page s communication. does that mean they know what he was discussing with russian officials? well, to some extent they may know. they were on his phones. they were monitoring his communication. when news started leaking out, there was this investigation about russian meddling and some of the trump people may have been targeted, the people they were targeted in the investigation who they were looking at started to change their methods and it became more difficult to monitor them. we don t know if one of those people is carter page. up to that point the fbi had a good window into what was going on into who some of the people were talking to. who carter page was talking to overseas, the fbi has a good idea about. it s not clear to us if they know what the conversations were about. but it was enough to concern them to get this warrant. also that dossier. while the fbi doesn t refer to it the mfgs contained in those documents helped the fbi get the fisa warrant. they were able to confirm some of the information in the dossier? that s correct. they were able to confirm some of that. that s not all? there were addition al piece of information they learned to support the application to the fisa court. they write this memo. they go ahead and monitor someone like carter page. what these people are up to. a good idea who russian intelligence is. without sort of the kremlin backing. there s always this feeling that anyone in power in russia or anyone of influence is reporting back to the kremlin. carter page was talk iing to so of these people. your sources are telling cnn there is some evidence of possible collusion but they stopped short of saying there s proof of a crime. that s a key point. this is something that investigators are dealing with and grappling with because the intelligence is coming from different places. some is learned by the nsa. anything that happens within the u.s. on a domestic level comes from the fbi. they have different streams and have seen but can they present that to a grand jury? can they use that information to proceed with a criminal case and not everyone is certain they can. there s another threshold level. there s a lot of different levels they would need to go to try and bring any charges. thank you for your reporting. you saw the marches for science across the globe. the actress who played fig in orange is the new black joins me to talk about why she is making climate change her mission. .that had the power to whawaken something old.. .or painfully dated. .or something you simply thought was lost forever. .because it could form a strong bond, regardless of age. if a paint could give any time-worn surface stunning new life. .you have to wonder. is it still paint?

i remember earth day when i was my daughter s age. i have an 8-year-old daughter, and my first earth day i remember learning all of these things that we re marching for today and going, oh, my god, we have to do something. so you felt it even as a youngster. my daughter can tell you so much about the environment, and i think it s so important for our children. so that s really where it started for me. and now it s about how many changes can i do? how much action can i do on a daily basis? i want to get your reaction to what the president has said on this earth day taking note. he writes this in a tweet saying i m committed to keeping our air and water clean but always remember that economic growth enhances environmental protection. jobs matter. what s your reaction? well, yes, jobs do matter and there s plenty of jobs that help the environment and what s being ignored here is that fact. if you think about renewable energy, for example, and the enormous growth of wind or solar or some of the other major types of renewable energies that we ve had in the last several years, tons and tons of jobs are coming our way just because of it. so they don t have to be mutually exclusive, mr. president. and that s job creation as well. there are new jobs which we have to pay attention to. and president trump doesn t always listen to hollywood. so how do you get your message to him? you know, for me i don t need to get a message to him. i need to talk to the people who i care about which are the average american person who i think the statistics say most humans on our planet and most americans believe in climate change. 97% of scientists believe in climate change. so i don t really have any de r desire to talk to him. i just want to talk to the people about what we can do to change, and that s what i love. your organization is focused on reducing carbon emissions. what is the single most important thing people can do in their daily lives to impact that? one of the things i like to echo is what alysia said there are 130 million alarmed and concerned people about climate change. we are directing our message at them. they re doing what they can. there are so many things you can do. you can eat less meat, take public transport, you can put solar on your house and turn the air conditioning off in your car when you travel. you need to be doing all of these things. we believe there s something else you can do which is to support simple technologies that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. and what are some of the worst things we are currently doing and may not even realize? well, i think every american has a 17 ton carbon footprint. and that s per year. so we have people asking us today is that for my entire life. no, that is for this year. and that s the average american. americans have the biggest footprint of any group of people in the entire world. we have our cars, our luxuries. we have tremendous use of electricity. sometimes we leave our lights on. so what we tell people you can do everything you can but you can t get your footprint to zero. we re all damaging the environment with our emissions. so what we d like to do is provide an opportunity and a way for people to verifiably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. help projects around the world that are doing the work on the ground. and i ll just say i work in new york and l.a., and i fly back and forth a great deal. and as an environmentalist, it is the hardest thing for me. it s really hard because i know that it affects my carbon footprint. and one of the things i love about cool effect, i can go and it s not like, oh, i m putting money to this random thing, i can go on the site and see, oh, i m helping fund wind power in costa rica. i m helping fund this super cool project that takes poop in india and turns it into fuel. and that s so cool to me and it makes me feel good and it educates me and it helps me educate others. and it s rewarding as you say. so there s a sense of satisfaction in making a difference. i m sending a random check. oh, i see what i m doing really specifically. thank you for coming on, a s alysia and dee to talk about the impact on our daily lives. thank you so much for having us, ana. i want to show you some video. this is the march of penguins. it happened today in california. how cute is this?

[ inaudible ] come on. you try that i ll knock you out. i ll knock you silly. you don t know what the story is. i don t care what the story is. you almost hurt a baby. you don t know what the story is. you keep looking at me. keep it quiet. see exactly what you did. maybe you ll get videotaped, too, and be all over the news. this comes two weeks after united airlines made news, police dragging a passenger off a plane. with us now from washington, d.c., to discuss this new airline debacle is jason maloney, president of j. rock price. the flight attendant is suspended while they investigate. the airline says the family was upgraded to first class the rest of the trip, the woman and her family. how would you rate american s handling of this incident? i think american has done a very good job. this is an airline that takes its responsibility seriously. not too long ago, four years ago, it was a major partner of disney and marketing its planes, its movies. it cares about its family friendly mantra and brand. of course it s going to be seen actions and words will be seen in light of how united handled last week and i think they ve done a fairly good job. they ve taken action quickly. they suspended the employee, presumably the gentleman in the video, and they re investigating. and that s the best thing you can do. a smart company, when something bad happens to a competitor, says what would we do if we were in the situation? they practice and prepare. i m sure they ve had statements like this in the very event they re faced this week. as you point out things like this don t happen in a vacuum and there was the event that is still fresh on everybody s mind involving united airlines. what do you make of how this incident was handled as it unfolded as you watch this video? well, i m trying to be very clear about what we re seeing, and i don t want to jump to conclusions. i credit american not just for its statements, its actions. i see flight attendants and staff helping that mother, and it looks okay right up until the individual loses his temper because what s clear in the video is an employee engages in a hostile manner with another passenger and that s what s wrong. that s clearly what s clearly bad behavior in the video. i m disappointed no one has offered to take the child out of the mother s hands. i think she had two children on that airline, twins, in fact, and i m disappointed there wasn t more done. let s be very careful about what we re seeing. looks like some good things for american airlines employees and, unfortunately, some bad behavior. i m kind of laughing to myself and it s nervous laughter because if i m in that mother s shoes i have traveled with young kids and it can be so stressful and overwhelming and then to be in that situation just to escalate it to that level, i can t imagine. i hear you. i ve done it, too, and flying with kids is a pain in the assigned seat. oh, my, indeed. the way the passenger reacts to come to that mother s defense. we aren t trying to say he reacted in a way that maybe he should have. he escalated the confrontation as well, it seems, by watching the video, in terms of with the flight attendant saying hit me kind of thing. do you find it surprising he was not taken off the plane? well, i m not exactly declaring him a saint. i think pulling back a bit what we re seeing there s a lot of tension on flights these days and, of course, everybody has a cell phone and a camera and i think there s just a moment where everybody ought to be taking a deep breath and observing these are stressful times for passengers and for crew. i think american airlines, if they continue on the path that they ve chosen, they re going to make another statement closing this matter, concluding the investigation and talking about perhaps what they re going to be doing with regard to training, maybe empowering staff on the planes to make more decisions for themselves. airports and airlines are very rigid places, but i think you might get better employee morale if, say, they were empowered to accept a stroller on the plane, make life better for the passengers themselves. i m not certain this individual exactly was coming to the aid of this other passenger. he was more interested in shaking his finger at the flight attendant, but be that as it may, it s incumbent upon the airline staff to restore order, to restore calm and be in charge and that s not what they did. all right. it s just a tense time in airlines right now. that s for sure. and as a traveler, too, it can be intense. jason maloney, thanks for joining us. good to have you on. now a new cnn series, soundtracks, music that defines history. take a look. i m in a new york state of mind the music and the artists post-9/11 are reflective of the emotions we feel. we re not going anywhere. we played for an audience of police and firemen, rescue workers. they needed a boost. some folks like to get away i put a fireman s helmet on the piano to help me concentrate because if i didn t have that i might have just lost it. a new york state of mind it is an anthem for new york city. i didn t think of that when i wrote it. the events that transfired defined the music and made it bigger than it was intended to be. the music will always remind us that it is possible. somebody has to put emotions into words. thursday at 10:00 on cnn. nit, nitrites or artificial preservatives. now it s good for us all. like introverts. extroverts.

my colleague dana bash spoke with homeland security secretary john kelly about that very question. watch. let s start with the border wall with mexico and how it relates to keeping the government open. if congress doesn t send president trump a government funding bill by midnight on friday, the government will run out of money and a shutdown would begin. will the president go to the mat and insist on the wall? dana, i think it goes without saying that the president has been pretty straightforward about his desire and the need for a border wall, so i would suspect he ll do the right thing for sure but i would suspect he will be insist enter on the funding. so there you heard secretary kelly making it sound as though the president would insist on border wall funding. the president didn t sound quite so definitive in an interview with the associated press. he said i want the border wall. my base definitely wants the border wall. but when asked if he would sign legislation that does not include money for the border wall, the president said i just don t know yet. so to use one of the president s favorite turns of phrase we ll have to see what happens with the border wall issue next week. ana? athena jones reporting. back with us now former democratic party chairman and from washington, d.c., former south carolina lieutenant governor andre bauer. house speaker paul ryan today got fellow republicans on a conference call, talked about the spending deadline, the chances of a health care vote which sounds slim. listen to what one congressman told us about this apparently 15-minute paul ryan conference call and i m quoting. they were short on details and didn t take any questions because they said they had to assume the call was being recorded by somebody and it would get leaked. it was so content free it was embarrassing. so, andre, what was the point of this call? i don t know. i guess it was to get the bullets out at least what they want to address next week. i would say they need to address if they think they have leaks they need to address those because i guess circling back around more than anything it shows you there are so many different groups within the republican party now, and that s why they have problems with health care, getting it passed, a bunch of different groups, some are extremely conservative, some are more moderate. there s no real conformity right now around unified mission. and so they have problems within their own party. that s part of growing and being having success in the last election. but he as the leader has to come around and bring those folks how do you govern? well, right now he s not doing what he needs to be doing. i shouldn t say that. he s not having the success that he should be having given the number of people that he has. so somehow he has to have a prayer meeting and get these folks together and say, look, here are the common things that we all believe in. let s work on those first. things like health care, let s hammer it out longer and not be in such a hurry to pass such a major piece of legislation. i think that was flawed from the start way back from when they first did that to put a time frame that it had to be done by april was wrong, premature, and they should have started out of the gate with something easier. scott, your reaction? yeah. andre, you can say that, he s not doing what he s supposed to do. some would call that a freudian slip. the reality is this is a gop party that is out of control. the republicans, you have a businessman who is the president of the united states, has a lot of goals and objectives, doesn t know how to achieve them, and now you re doing conference calls whereby pronouncements by the gop but there s no substantive discussion about it. the problem is his 100 days is coming up. he wants to do tax reform, health care reform because he s promised that to his voters. at the same time he has to get a funding budget through where he s going to insist on the border wall. maybe not the. maybe he does, maybe he doesn t. the reality is those are three big legislative packages that he would like to get done in one week and washington just doesn t work that way. welcome to washington, d.c., donald trump. you asked for it, you got it. andre, does this seem familiar to you how the last health care bill was handled? a rushed deadline and a caucus that seems to be in the dark. it s all happening at this level of just one leader from this caucus talk iing to one leader from that caucus, making deals that the rest of their group may or may not like? you know, from the outside looking in, it seems to me they need to slow down, pump the brakes, find one piece of legislation they want to work on and get that done. having so many irons in the fire right now when there are major pieces of legislation is wrong. i served one in the house and one in the senate and two as lieutenant governor. when we picked pieces of legislation we wanted as a caucus we went after that hard and heavy. to be so splintered when you have such major pieces that are divisive i think they re taking on too much. so, scott, the thing is here, you have health care. you talked about taxes as well. these are issues that affect every single american. so i don t want to let democrats off the hook here. at what point do democrats take the reins and try to be proactive in coming up with some solutions with their republican colleagues? well, i think that s very important. i think the democrats are prepared and willing and able to do that. the problem is i don t think that the republicans who have the house, senate and white house have done enough outreach or any outreach on these major issues where they have major differences. the missing component to health care and tax reform and infrastructure and a lot of these issues that the trump white house wants to get done is that there s not been outreach to the democrats. now the democrats want to fix obamacare. the republicans want to repair they want to repeal it. if they move off repealing it we could probably have a dialogue about fixing it. but they re obsessed with eliminating obamacare. and so it gets tough to cut a deal when there s a wall between two parties, they are nonstarters and no one is bending or blinking, if you will. now the reality is that maybe the democrats and republicans can get together on this funding bill, maybe we can do something with obamacare if there s outreach to the democrats and we try to repair it and maybe we could even get some discussions about jobs and infrastructure. but you have to do it one at a time. you need some adults in the room. you need real leadership. right now this is a rudderless ship. and, quite frankly, democrat or republican, this is an american issue now and an american lead er ship crisis headed up by donald trump. it s got to get fixed. i ve heard you both talk about the importance of lead leadership. andre, how big of a problem is it for president trump, this lack of progress on a signature campaign promise to repeal and replace obamacare? keep in mind he s taken on a lot. this is not quite the first 100 days, and he s trying to upright the ship. it s not just that he took on democrats. he took on republicans, too. there s a lot of folks within the body he s trying to work with now that were adamantly against him. never trumpers. he s now having to try to work with these folks. he wanted to drain the swamp. there s a lot of folks i hope he pushes for term limits. i think that s the most major piece of legislation that can change our country is to make she is folks not make it a career and a lifetime to go up a couple terms and then step out. the moderate democrats need to reach over the line, too, and work with these folks because health care is an american issue, it s not a partisan issue. we have to get past this whether it s called obamacare. we know folks need help, to bring costs down. i m hoping at some point in time whether it s in the president, the republicans, the democrats in the house and senate, they ll work together. you didn t see that in the senate just last week on the most fair and reasonable supreme court justice when they were obstructionists instead of passing a guy that should overwhelmingly have been confirmed. you re going to see go back to merrick garland. don t rewrite history. we could talk about this back and forth, but we have to leave it there for now. andre bauer and scott bolden. thank you both. up next, is congress leaving all the tough decisions on health care to the states? we re going to dig into what we have been learning now about the obamacare repeal and replace, what the legislation that they ve been working on over the break may end up coming up when they do have a vote. we ll talk more about it next in the cnn newsroom. me from joy. .not allergies. flonase allergy relief helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. it s an allergy nasal spray that works beyond the nose. flonase. yeah, i just saved a whole lot of money by swhuh.ing to geico. we should take a closer look at geico. you know, geico insures way more than cars. boats, motorcycles. even rvs! geico insures rvs?

well, in some sense, yes. i mean, basically the idea of it is that if you flashback to last month when everything fell apart and speaker ryan was forced to pull the vote, the stumbling block was that there were conservatives who wanted more regulatory relief from obamacare because of the regulations that drive up premiums. and they felt like the legislation didn t do enough to lower premiums. however, if more regulations were taken away, speaker ryan would have lost more votes from moderates. so there is a sort of impasse. so what they re sort of have the out lines of is this idea where conservative the conservatives coming home to more conservative states can say, look, i got more regulatory relief, we re going to bring down premiums by getting out of all of these obamacare regulations whereas people from north eastern more moderate to liberal districts could come home and say, look, we kept all of these regulatory protections intact. and that s what the idea is, but there are a lot of details to be worked out about this. so it s allowing the moderates to have what they want and the more conservatives who don t want the regulations to have what they want, but i m not seeing how this is helping the average american. especially those who need healthcare more than more than the average american, especially those with preexisting conditions, older people who might have more more illnesses or, you know, issues as they age. how are they being protected by doing this rollback in regulations? well, the idea is that basically healthcare is about a series of tradeoffs and obamacare put a lot of regulations in place but they had offsetting effects. the reason why insurance has zoomed up and the premiums are unaffordable to people that don t qualify for subsidies, the reason why insurers are dropping out of the markets and many people are left with one insurer in their county is because of obamacare s regulations. and that s the problem with a lot of it, and this is why it s very difficult to get any healthcare bill through by either party. right. so why not repair instead of repeal? why not repair instead of repeal? well, i think there s two reasons. one, is that republicans ran one, on this for since 2010 they ve been saying that they re going repeal obamacare and i think they have an obligation to their voters to follow through on it. and two is that obamacare is not working. it hasn t worked, it s expanded coverage because if you spend trillions of dollars on something it s going to expand coverage. it s driven up premiums, it s limited choices. it meant that insureds have had a narrow network so that you have fewer choices of doctors and hospitals. it s created a lot of problems and it s not working as it is. and all that democrats wanted to talk about is to subsidize it more. and that s their only solution. we ve got to drop it, thank you so much, philip kline. got to have you back once we know more about the plan. we appreciate your time. bill o reilly officially off the air at fox news and the late night shows jumped on the chance to send him off. and i really look forward to his next book, killing time at home. just like the people every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be with customer contracts, agreements to lease a space or protecting your work. legalzoom s network of attorneys can help you, every step of the way. so you can focus on what you do and we ll handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. legalzoom. legal help is here. from talk show zbloefts international business machines o reilly has traded the no spin zone for the no job zone one car teenist young a gone groping sign on o reilly s door. bill o reilly was fired today. talk show audiences. fox news fired bill o reilly. seemed delighted. bill o reilly is out of fox. god bless you and everybody in the room, god bless us all. the host of the view then reminisced about the time they walked off the set after arguing with o reilly he sure had a way with words. well say you re a cocaine dealer and you kind of look like one a little bit. as do you. you look like a cocaine user. my mind, i think of you as a goon. i didn t hear a word she said, i was looking at the james brown wig. hey, bill, how you like my wig now?

he has done the 2 to 1 regulatory removal for every regulation put in. which couples with the house of representatives vote to appeal. $3.7 billion of cost removed from the backs of business across the country. people can now spend those man-hours, doing something productive for america. americans, however, are unhappy 37 they re unhappy with the job the president is doing they re unhappy with the job congress is doing. congress has a 10% approval rating this week. it s not going the right direction. do you feel many americans feel this way because of what? coming from the outside, i don t understand why everything s so difficult. the politicians spent eight years saying we re going to repeal and replace obama care. they get up there and say, wow! what are we going to do now. you re part of that, that s what americans are thinking, you are on the inside, you are working with members in congress. yes, ana, and that s why when i reached the conclusion that the aaca, which was made much better by the freedom caucus, got to the point where it was the most conservative, most state centered most patient centric proposal that could ever be gotten in this day and time, i went all out. republicans have an overwhelming majority, do you think it s possible americans are fed up with partisan politics? i think we re all fed up with partisan politics. everything is so one sided, i wish some democrats would come over and realize that obama care has failed and we ought to try a free market approach. i don t believe in single pair, and i think a lot of moderate democrats don t either. you re talking about doubling down on the freedom caucus. that s further away from democrats. what the freedom caucus accomplished was to get a state block grant, and the ability to put a work requirement for able bodied persons if they re going to get medicaid, i think work requirements are critical. we could have a separate discussion about what s happening to our workforce in america, if we want to fix our workforce, one thing we have to do is go back to having requirements for benefits. that bill didn t go anywhere. with all due respect that s not getting the job done. we got it done in the house, we re only one half of one third that s my point. it doesn t matter if he gets done in one half of congress, it doesn t matter if republicans all agree, and they can t pass it with just republicans. do you see where i m going with that? you talk about asking democrats to come over, it seems like you re expecting them to completely adopt your ideas as opposed to finding room for negotiation, would you support the plan that s been put out there by some of your colleagues, a bipartisan plan by the problem solvers caucus 43 members of the house have signed on to a bill that does not totally repeal obama care, but i don t think it s repairable. i think the whole concept needs to be overhauled. that s why i want to repeal it. it has nothing to do with obama, it could have been truman care for all i care. i appreciate your time in offering your opinion and what you think would be solutions. we appreciate it. coming up. china s top diplomat calls on north korea to stop missile tests after tough new sanctions by the u.n. are they enough to change the regime s behavior?

well, i mean, certainly, it s hanging over the summit, and you heard the chinese foreign minister saying sanctions were necessary. and in fact he made those comments after meeting with the north korean foreign minister north korea is not a member of asean but they re attending meeting surrounding that. there s an effort to isolate north koreans there, this is a region where everybody is concerned about destabilizing the korean peninsula. everyone who is talking to the north koreans is giving a unified message that this destabilization needs to stop. i spoke with nikki haley after yesterday s vote, let s listen to a part of our conversation. what we ve seen as a reckless dictator who has been paranoid, irresponsible and who has continued to make his own interests over the interests of his people, and i think this is now going to see what they re going to do in response. but to have china stand with us along with japan and north korea and the rest of the international community telling north korea to do this, it s pretty impactful. china says it will go along with these sanctions, we have heard that before, time and again. china vows to punish north korea economically. do we have any significant assurances that beijing will actually follow through this time? well, i think it is really significant that china signed on to these resolutions. it was intense negotiations between ambassador nikki haley and the chinese, and i think you have to give credit to ambassador haley for getting it through. north korea may be able to implement some of these skmin in a has been cutting down on north korean coal. the real thing is, ana, these other countries may follow through on these sanctions, in addition to these sectors that we re talking about, it s about a billion dollars of north korean export income. china has 90% of north korean trade. so china needs to do even more than this, it remains to be seen this is what the pressure on china has been about. we have to see how much more they re ready to do, it s unclear whether this will be enough as you say. before you go, rex tillerson met with his russian counterpart for the first time since president trump signed off on those russia sanctions. what do we know about that meeting? it was a really it seemed to be a tough meeting, of course, they have things to talk about. they have this north korea issue. they have to talk about syria, they have to talk about ukraine, this is the first time the leaders have met since those sanctions were passed on russia. that s really clouding over the relationship and these talks. before prime minister lavrov came out, he said these sanctions are dangerous, and destabilizing to world security. i think they want to talk about these national security issues, this issue about sanctions and russian meddling in the u.s. election is kind of hanging over all that like an elephant in the room elise labott we ll see you next hour. why a recent plot to bring down an airliner reflects the ikea model of terrorism, we ll explain. whoooo. you re searching for something. like the perfect deal. .on the perfect hotel. so wouldn t it be perfect if. ..there was a single site. .where you could find the. .right hotel for you at the best price?

we ve got new information on these two terror plots in australia which were connected. isis is getting more sophisticated with its external terror operations and could use some of these techniques on american targets. two terror plots in australia connected to one another, show isis growing ambition to strike western targets. two men living in sydney have been arrested for trying to bring down a passenger plane with an eid. this is one of the most sophisticated plots that s ever been attempted on australian soil. the plotters after getting to the airport aborted the plan. authorities aren t sure why. police only got word of the planning 11 days later. according to australian officials, this was a do it yourself bomb. a senior isis commander sent part of the bomb assembled along with other loose parts, along with weapons grade explosives to turkey, via air cargo. this is an ikea model of terrorism. the fact that they were in touch directly to provide guidance with these blotters in australia. the supply of explosives, the imagination and ingenuity that went into it, take isis into a whole new ball game. one of the suspects was going to plant the ied on his own brother who was supposed to be an unsuspecting mule in the plan. his plan for was for his own brother to bring this device on board, not knowing what it was. his brother would have been killed in this attack, sacrificed. when the bomb plot didn t work, the alleged terrorists tried to make a device that would release a dangerous chemical in closed spaces. possibly public transportation facilities. a toxic industrial substance that smells like rotten eggs, hard to make and difficult to deploy as a weapon, but potentially deadly. what does it do to the body when you breathe it in? a very small amount would kill you in a few minutes. there s no evidence the device was completed. but a u.s. homeland security official tells cnn, the australia plots highlight the need to ramp up aviation security in america, and not play whack-a-mole with each new threat. look for isis to continue these types of plots, as the group loses territory on the battlefield. isis will continue to use ied s ah, laptop bombs and chemicals on western targets isis will likely get a lot better at evading security. a little alarming. the vice president and the white house condemning a report suggesting mike pence is proposing a white house run in 2020. what s fueling the speculation? number one rated marquee interior. behr s most advanced one-coat hide paint. only at the home depot. but with odor free blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, pain used to shut me down during pick-up games. i can box out any muscle or joint pain immediately. blue-emu continuous pain relief spray. it works fast and you won t stink. just to say a quick hello. the push back is following him all the way to new jersey. trump s approval rating is at just 33%. trump s own vice president may be thinking of a bid for the white house himself should trump not seek a second term. it is absolutely true that the vice president is getting ready for 2020, for re-election as vice president. no concern he s setting up a shadow campaign? and also 2018 zero concern, that is complete fiction, that is complete fabrication, and i know that his advisers who had comments attributed to them, have pushed back very strongly, and as am i right now, unequivocally, vice president pence is a very loyal, very dutiful and also incredibly effective vice president, active vice president with this president. i want to bring in our panel now, eugene scott is here with me in new york. the deputy editor for the weekly standard also with us, the vice president himself in fact came out with an official statement on official white house letterhead today saying, this is garbage. he called this report offensive and disgraceful. what are the chances the president has some republican competition in 2020. i think the chances are very real. it s not a surprise he would push back against his boss that he s not considering a run. given donald trump s record low approval ratings. it s believable he would look to see if he would be more popular in 2020 than the current president. pence s full political calendar, he has his own independent fund-raising group, a super pac, that necessarily unusual behavior? a little bit. not entirely, everybody in an administration at that top level is going to have their own super pac, they re going to be speaking to a lot of events, and as eugene noted, a lot of people like mike pence that do not like donald trump, mike pence has been doing a good job of keeping establishment republicans and republican donors on board. you may be able to look at that and say, he s doing this in the service of the president, but let s face it, i don t think anybody should count anything out. if you recall, during the election, and even after he was pdonald trump hinted he might nt do the job? i mean, he actually said something at one point, maybe i won t maybe i ll just get elected and then i ll quit. it was sort of a throwaway comment. but that led people to think how serious is this guy taking the job, and is he determined to see it through not just one term, but possibly two. because of this uncertainty that trump himself has indicated in the past, i think it only makes sense for people to be thinking about 2020 and have a plan ready in case he does decide he doesn t want to do it again. of course, it s only 2017. i m sure we ll be talking about this as we get closer to 2020. i want to talk about a new message this white house and administration is trying. we know they ve had a hard time harnessing their message in the past. let s watch. the unemployment rate is at a 16 year low, and consumer confidence is at a 16 year high, all while the dow jones continues to break records. president trump has clearly steered the economy back in the right direction. so that was the president s facebook page. this highlights the jobs reports, the wall street and stock market surge, is this an effective way for the president to go around mainstream media and traditional sources to get the message and the message out here that he wants? cnn has reported on every single thing you can find on this trump themed news station network, website they have. i think what s more important, you want to be honest with the voters and you want to tell them everything that s happening. the reality is, there are some challenges the administration is having, and that message isn t getting to those people that only watch that network, i think what s also very important, is the fact that there are more people who watch mainstream media outlets than the very specific trump specific option. you want people on the trump train that aren t already on the trump train. when it comes to the president s favorite method of communication, twitter. let me read you a quote from the article. kelly isn t vetting every presidential tweet. trump has shown a willingness to consult with his chief of staff before hitting send. they go on to say, sometimes kelly offers an alternative way to phrase something. he s not trying to limit or stop trump from tweeting all together. do you see this as the beginning of a new era? there s no way anyone could stop trump from tweeting. he loves to do it, and he sees it as his way of reaching people directly. he s not going to stop. i took a look at trump s tweets since general kelly took over. i did notice quite a change in tone, a lot of the tweets that i saw since general kelly took over are a lot more professional in tone. there was one big exception the u.s. relationship with russia is at a dangerous low. and he went on to say, you can thank congress for that, which didn t even which couldn t even pass health care. i mean, there s i tweet where he s criticizing congress, both houses of which have majorities of his own party, and so that was a maybe general kelly, that was one of the ones he didn t get a chance to vet beforehand. but i do get the impression looking at the president s twitter feed that his tone has changed he s been a little less combative, and said things in more positive ways. i have a feeling that has to be general kelly, that s certainly not the trump tweeting we ve been seeing over the last couple years. great to have your takes. thanks for joining us. tense moments between a police officer and the passenger of a car captured on cell phone video, let s watch. we re looking for [ bleep ]. i understand that, do not move. why are you still pointing the gun at me. do not move right now. why are you still pointing the gun at me. my hands are here. the california officer held his gun on that passenger for nearly nine minutes after pulling over the driver for speeding. the officer says he drew his sidearm until backup could arrive, because he saw the passenger reach under his seat after asking the driver for her license and registration. this video has gone viral now, it s been viewed more than a million times on facebook. the passengers unexpected movement toward the bottom of the seat caused the officer to perceive a threat and draw his handgun. in the end the officer had a conversation with the passenger. and why the gun was pointed at him. the passenger understood why it happened. and apologized to the officer. he drafted a what to do guide if you re pulled over with a gun in your car, the guideline has been published. kaley has more. oh, my god. when ka steel was pulled over for a broken taillight, he had a gun in the car, and a permit nor it. african-american shot by police officers. his traffic stop in minnesota turned deadly after telling police he was armed. and sparked nationwide outrage. no one should ever leave a traffic stop in a body bag, whether it s a law enforcement officer or a citizen. in arizona, where you don t need a permit to carry a firearm, this state lawmaker wants to help prevent another death like castille s. it was very important that we definitely made sure that law enforcement officers recognize that individuals may not be resisting or they may not be following protocol, because they just don t know what it is. the arizona driver s manual now includes guidelines on what to do if you re pulled over with a gun in the car. keep your hands on the wheel, when the officer approaches, tell them where the gun is. you re minimizing fear for the officer and the person. if we both do what we re supposed to do, it takes that interns moment and begins to settle it. no law needed to be passed, bipartisan support made it happen. he got the republican governor s support behind his idea, and then worked with multiple state agencies to agree upon language. i did not want to put in place more laws that would potentially encarcerate more individuals. i wanted to set recommendations and really urge members of the public to gain this education so they can advocate and be proactive for themselves and also so law enforcement officers have an understanding. we feel uncomfortable whenever we see lights behind us, it s automatically a worry for us. but now i ve heard about these new guidelines, hopefully there will be a new procedure. people who own guns need to be responsible and respect police who are always on edge when they have to stop someone. arizona appears to be the first state to put in writing, recommendations to avoid another deadly traffic stop. it would be naive to not believe there is conflict in some of these traffic stops. and if we can do something to try to keep everybody safe in those traffic stops, then we should do that. phoenix arizona, kayley hartung, cnn. coming up, recordings of the late princess diana, on her relationship with the prince. yeah. it s nice that every bad decision doesn t have to be permenant! ditch verizon. keep your phone. we ll even pay it off when you switch to america s best unlimited network. nit s softer than ever. new charmin ultra soft is softer than ever so it s harder to resist. okay, this is getting a little weird enjoy the go with charmin yes, 9 o clock works for me. bye. another referral. our customers love us.

well, there s been a huge reaction to the documentary here in the united kingdom. it s trending on twitter all over central media. the reaction has been very, very similar across the board. i ve been looking at it. and a lot of it is talking just as max is saying, about diana s charisma, her beauty, what a wonderful, emotional speaker she was. but above all it s talking about charles and it s not positive. a lot of critical tweets and texts and words about charles, about camilla, and particularly about charles very cold treatment of diana. because diana made it clear in the documentary charles doesn t seem to love her from the beginning. he treats her in a cool manner, even when they re courting and makes it clear that camilla is the woman for him. he said diana at one point, i don t want to be the only prince of wales, he s expected to have a mistress. there s huge reaction. there s been a big reaction to the fact that diana went to the queen and asked for help. and the queen said, well, charles is hopeless. already one of the british newspapers has written a big editorial saying, well, charles is one who is hopeless to be our king. this documentary doesn t damage diana, it s very intimate, very exploratory, but in terms of the of charles, camilla and the royal family, a lot of criticism of charles and camilla. it will be interesting to see what the fallout is. very fascinating about princess diana 20 years after her death. we ll be right back. get your ancestrydna kit.here. spit. mail it in. learn about you and the people and places that led to you. go explore your roots. take a walk through the past. meet new relatives and see how a place and its people are all a part of you. ancestrydna. save 30% through august 15th at ancestrydna.com. when we see people, we see their hunger. their courage. we see their dreams. we see the things that built our nation. and we wonder, what would happen if everyone had equal access to education? what would they discover? what new worlds would they build? that s why we built a university for people. not for profit. and a new culture built around customer service. it all adds up to our most reliable network ever. one that keeps you connected to what matters most. parody and political satire, almost at the peak it seems right now in the age of president trump. alec baldwin and melissa mccarthy, have brought laughter what s all too often political discord. it s on cnn series. why are there newspapers all over the place. political satire. crazy characters. sketches. it was anything that was fun, that you wanted to try. that a network would never put on. i would like to welcome my first guest, jessica chastain. jessica chastain. you had a program that it s talk shows, satire of talk shows. real interested in the work you ve been doing down in haiti. tell us a little bit about that. well do they have a six flags down there? there s not. the new media especially cites just for comedy. i think there are good things for the business. especially with the democratization there. the things that succeed on the internet happen organically. i m seeing a hilarious video. it s largely because someone shared it. the executive producer brad jenkins is joining us now. brad, why do you think parody and politics go hand in hand? look, i think it has, as you ll see tonight, a very long history. this isn t new. ever since the days of shakespeare, comedy is a way to speak truth to power. so i think especially in this day and age where there s so much laser focus on the 24-hour news cycle, each misstep of this administration, or this public official is stepping into, comedians are there to point it out. comedians are there also to shine a spotlight on things that maybe people aren t paying attention to. you know, it s a long history. but in this day and age of social media, people are demanding it and sharing it at a rate that hasn t been seen before. the current administration has claimed that the parodies have crossed the line from merely funny to mean spirited. have you seen a change in tone? look, snl has been doing this equal opportunity, making fun of presidents since its inception. and our founders come from the snl spirit, will ferrell and adam mckay. it really is, you know, poking fun at things that everyone knows, right? everyone knows these public officials, everyone knows these scandals. and it s a way of shining a light on them. i don t think that it s ever really crossed the line. donald trump himself participated in snl. he hosted a show. right. himself. so he understands the power of comedy. he participated in a self-aware enough to realize the power of comedy. it s just this is, again, a very long history. we re just living it today. well, brad jenkins, we look forward to tonight s episode which you participate in. thank you for joining us and offering your thoughts. thank you for having me. the history of comedy at 10:00 right after the 90s here 10:00 right after the 90s here on cnn. captions by vitac www.vitac.com
green light. that means go! oh, yeah. start saying yes to your company s best ideas. we re gonna hit our launch date! (scream) thank you! goodbye! let us help with money and know-how, so you can get business done. american express open. morning, glory, america. i m hugh hewitt. you hear me on the radio network 6:00 to 9:00. but saturday morning i am here on msnbc. i returned from the united kingdom late last night and have been following the news through the british media. to catch me up on the national news i have asked three of the belt waugh s best young reporters all rising stars in the craft of journalism to bring me and thus you on what mattered most in the past two weeks and the week ahead. they are james hol mapp of the washington post annie lipsky, and politico playbook he every morning. welcome to all three of you. i have to begin the news of the day as president trump is tweeting this morning. let me bring people up to date with what he has had to tweet. john mccain never had any intention of voting for this graham/cassidy bill. he campaigned on repeal and replace. let arizona down. arizona had 116% increase last wbr id= wbr1008 /> year with deductibles very high. chuck schumer sold mccain a bill of goods sad. large block grants to states in is a good thing to do. better control and management. great for arizona. mccape let his best friend l.d. /b> down. i know raupbd paul skpeuplg he m and i think wbr-id= wbr1251 /> he may come through. a lot of drama. let me start over here with you, ana. does it pass? no. it s not passing. no. it is barely on life support, if that. at this point basically donald trump is unaudible to convert on this, right? his problem is he is making phone calls to senators like john mccain who he has zero credibility with. personal animosity towards each other. he had no ability to close the deal. this is about reflecting blame. this likely isn t going to get through. i wouldn t say nephew. you could have rand in your back pocket as we saw trump alluding to. i would say don t say it s dead, but this i think is trump trying to say i tried. any. the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. we have seen this twice already. nothing has really changed. the same players are making the same moves. and you re not going to see collins or murkowski turn around on this. i am the optimist. i think you can get murkowski and rand paul becomes a key. james, you followed this relationship. how much of this would a psychiatrist is john mccain unable to see his friend lindsey graham achieve the great legislative achievement in 20 years that eluded john mccain. that s a good question. obviously lindsey and john are so close. two of the three amigos. mccain doesn t like donald the summer. and she was surprised by the conservatives who came up to her and said, thank you for supporting obamacare because my kid is sick and i need it. that hit her i think very hard. graham/cassidy is not the first to appeal. significantly different. we ll see. let me go to the underreported story of the week. i ve been gone. what did i miss? i think alabama senate debate was one of the most interesting things that i watched this week. judge moore. absolutely. it was fascinating to watch. luther strange essentially for one hour just said one thing. his message is donald trump is behind me. he said nothing else the entire time. and people in the audience were laughing. at some point he was saying it so often they were saying, gosh, he s going to go to that. the endless loop. i think tom price private jets, politico story. if if was any other administration other than the donald trump administration, this would be wall to wall coverage. spending $300,000 of tax payer dollars. this is i think one of the most under reported stories. i saw it in london. they all take private jets. it s different because in particular he is a congressman railed against this issue. that s true. saying nobody in the members of congress, the white house should be doing it. none of his previous srb sebelius. they are paying for it out of their own pocket. i think this is one of the biggest stories that isn t going to get any prep because we re in a time when everybody is onto the next thing. when we return, i ll ask the panel what breaking story they are working on for next week. a preview of coming attractions. stay tuned. switch to flonase allergy relief. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. when we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by overproducing 6 key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. flonase helps block 6. most allergy pills only block one and 6 is greater than 1. with more complete relief you can enjoy every beautiful moment to the fullest. flonase. 6 is greater than 1 changes everything. he s on his way to work in alaska. this is john. he s on his way to work in new mexico. willie and john both work for us, a business that employs over 90,000 people in the u.s. alone. we are the coca-cola company, and we make much more than our name suggests. we re an organic tea company. a premium juice company. we ve got drinks for long days. for birthdays. for turning over new leaves. and all of our products rely on the same thing we all do. clean water. which is why we have john leading our efforts to replenish every drop of water we use. we believe our business thrives when our communities thrive. which is just one of the reasons we help make college a reality for thousands of students. today, companies need to do more. so john and willie are trying to do just that. thank you for listening. we re listening too. xfinity mobile. a new kind of network designed to save you money. call, visit or go to xfinitymobile.com. we are back with my panel james, anna and any. which numbers are driving the news this week and which are covered partly in the shade right now but moving soon to the center of attention. who is the person that matters the most not named trump? rocket man. why? explain. first of all, we all had to google dotard this week and what did it mean. obviously this is very seriousment we keep going closer and closer to nuclear war with them. i think this is going to be the international issue. you said we are closer and closer to nuclear war with them, which i believe to be true. i don t think it penetrated the minds of america. i think it is very disturbing, very scary. it is something i don t think the vast majority of americans are paying attention to. bob mueller. significant developments while you were gone this week. they basically are on a phishing expedition. 13 different categories of things that mueller is interested in as part of his probe to potential obstruction to justice. we learned a lot of new developments about the way that mueller, how aggressively he is going after paul manafort. they did a no-knock search of his apartment in alexandria in the summer. we learned mueller was taking pictures of manafort s suits in the closet. they were really going hard. they were going hard after michael flynn too. former national security adviser announcing a legal defense fund. lots of developments. special counsel mueller did not request surveillance. i asked to do those applications when i worked for the attorney general. they authorize the use of the most amazing material. stuff in the 80s that is classified. who knows what they can do now. they know everything about him if they had a fisa warrant on him. i m going to play off what anna said. jim mattis is the most important not named trump because of the threat from north korea that ana mentioned. how the united states will react to this threat of a hydrogen bomb being tested in the pacific, something that hasn t happened in 60 years will be sort of chilling to the entire world. on friday, hugh, i had coffee with a former senior very, very senior person at the defense department who left quite recently. and i can tell you they are nervous over there. this kind of talk is something that strikes them to the core. it s a very serious story that has people secretary mattis is one of the best people to ever serve. he knows wars begin with muss calculation. if rocket man hits the wrong thing, stuff happens. my person is theresa may. probably because i have been in the uk. her government is falling apart. boris johnson was going to leave. pulled everyone on a plan to get out. she is presenting it in florence. it appears she pulled it off. i thought she was the walking dead. former chancellor on osbourne said about her. she is back to the grave and putting it together. tell me what you re working on? tax reform next week. from administration, congress. it s a plan that from what we have heard will affect states like the one in new england. could be quite significantly. these are places that have very high real estate taxes. and so we re going to be looking at that really closely. state is and local tax deduction will destroy california and new york. massachusetts. and new hampshire. which relies quite heavily. it can t go away. the entire country. james, what are you working on? alabama senate race. we talked about it in the last block. what are the polls? internal polls that i have seen show the race tightening. recent show roy moore up nine points. but i think it will end up being close. they expect 20%, 25% of the elect rat will turn out. it is a close primary. it is a close primary in can you register on the day of? i don t think so. which makes it harder for some of the traditional trump vote stories show up. but also there s a lot of we talk about this a little bit with virginia for 2018. bob corker, tennessee, chair map of the foreign relations committee, he said in recent weeks he is considering retirement because he doesn t want to have a nasty primary challenge from the trump populist part of the party. judge roy moore is like judge roy bean. he is like a hero. his people will not not come. ana, what are you working on? i think the big story is mitch mcconnell right now. what happens on tax reform. what happens on health care. what happens with this alabama senate race which he has gone in full force with his entire but if that s not enough, we offer innovative investing tools to prepare you for the future. looks like you hooked it. and if that s not enough, we ll help your kid prepare for the future. don t hook it kid. and if that s still not enough, we ll help your kid s kid prepare for the future. looks like he hooked it. we ll do anything. takes after his grandad. seriously anything, to help you invest for the future. ally. do it right. we are the tv doctors of america, and we may not know much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. we also know that you can avoid drama by getting an annual check-up. so go, know, and take control of your health. it could save your life. cigna. together, all the way. welcome back. we re back with my panel. believe it or not, people inside the beltway do read books. reread a lot of books. we try and read books. the book that you are reading or ought to be reading and people ought to be reading. hillary clinton s memoir, what happened . it is the book to read on her. it is very honest, very real. when joy sits down with her in an hour, former secretary of state clinton in the hour, it will be raw. joy reed is a very, very good interviewer. secretary clinton has gotten more and more open about this. is she more expansive as she goes along? when you re not the candidate you can be a lot more honest about what happened, the problems on the campaign. she is very reflective. we often don t see that in candidates when they are elected and saying these are my problems. these are my warts and this is what happened. i will be joining you in reading that soon. james, what are you reading? i recommended the hillary book. that was a good window into her. the new biography bunny mellon. she was most recent in the news with john edwards. she was funneling money to help him take care of his love child. they called it bunny money. she died a year ago, close to 100. big socialite. jackie kennedy s best friend. she kind of had a close relationship with lady bird johnson. she loved ronnie reagan, hated nancy reagan. it has great stories. there s so many things named after mellon. a window into 50 years of washington, a different era. what s the title again? bunny mellon. elizabeth warren s latest book this fight is our fight. it has the word fight in it a few times. i ll be honest with you, it is just sitting on my bedside table because i can t get into it. it s just not that good. but if you do want to read a good book by elizabeth warren, i would recommend her first book she wrote with her daughter called the two-income trap. she wrote it before she was running for anything. it gets into her research about income equality. it is a bit academic but written for a general audience. her students loved her. i get the last word. the last minute. this is unbelievable. katy tur. for people like we are journalists. it s the real deal. ate many doughnuts for dinner is my favorite line. i have never been a road warrior. you three have. if you are at syracuse, ma dill, stanford daily paper and you think, i want to do that. did you read it yet?
