perspective. not all work and no play. there's really great balance. so the spirit that i see of these young players and how they enjoy themselves and true to who they are. they keep it real. and that's something among other things to admire. >> all right grant hill and kristen allude low keepiludlow. i'm fredricka whitfield. thanks for being with me this sunday. newsroom with pamela brown starts right now. you're live in the cnn newsroom on this sunday. i'm pamela brown in washington. breaking news. senate committee investigating russian hacking of the 2016 election tells the trump administration preserve all of your documents. cnn learning formal requests were sent to more than a dozen agencies and organizations and individuals on friday the same day the men of the intelligence committee received a classified

briefing from fbi director james comey. that's not the only big headline. sweden is asking the united states to explain this cryptic comment president trump made during a rally last night in florida. >> you look at what's happening in germany, you look at what's happening last night in sweden, sweden. who would believe this? sweden. they took in large numbers, they're having problems like they never thought possible. so in response to that the swedish embassy tweeted unclear to us what president trump was referring to. have asked u.s. officials for explanation. trump's remarks as the administration's latest misplaced reference. trump counselor kellyanne conway referring to a bowling green massacre that never took place. sean spicer referred to an attack in atlanta later clafrg he meant orlando. i want to bring in athena jones. she's live at what's being called southern white house,

that's mar-a-lago. the president just tweeted about this. what did he say? >> reporter: hi, pamela. the president saying my statement as to what's happening in sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants and sweden. now, i want to play for you this segment that was broadcast on friday night and then we'll talk about it on the other side. let's play that. >> perhaps notation on earth is more committed to accepting foreign migrants and refugees than sweden. 2016 alone the country accepted more than 160,000 asylum seekers. despite having a population of less than 10 million people. only 500 of these migrants were able to get jobs in sweden. if these arrivals are not able to work they can commit crimes. >> reporter: and that segment went on. after that initial part, carlson talked with the filmmaker said

the swedish government was covering up all kind of violent crimes that these refugees that sweden accepted that are responsible for. we have none of of that. it's clear now what the president was referring to. we know he's an avid watcher of cable news he particularly likes fox. i got to tell you this lack of precision, the president repeating things he hears, something he's been doing since the very beginning ever his campaign. it's causing problems. it's already causing problems. it shows words matter. that the whole world is watching and listening very carefully to what the president has to say. >> of course the irony of all this he tweeted out yesterday saying the media is the american people's enemy and is fake news. media as a whole. athena, i want to ask you about this news from the senate intelligence committee asking the trump administration to preserve documents related to russia. was this based on a specific concern that documents would be destroyed? >> reporter: it's not clear that there was a specific credible

concern that the documents could be destroyed. we know senate democratic leader the minority leader in the senate chuck schumer sat on the senate floor on thursday said he's concern. he said there's real concern some in the administration may try to cover up its ties to russia by deleting end males, texts and other records that could shine light on those connections. that's a concern expressed by him. not certain that others and people on the senate intelligence committee expressed that concern but it's not uncommon in any sort of investigation to want documents to be preserved. so we have that report from my capitol hill colleague who said that the senate's intelligence committee sent over agencies, organizations and individuals to preserve those records. it was sent on friday the same day that the fbi director james comey briefed senate intelligence committee members. so a lot going on here. a lot of developments even on

this weekend. this holiday weekend. >> absolutely. athena jones thank you so much. i want to bring in my panel to discuss all of this. ron, i want to go to you first on the sweden story. we know what president trump said last night. talking about this, apparently as he tweeted what fox news reported and then you have the swedish, embassy tweeting out what's he talking about, we're asking for more clarification. what do you make of the president's explanation he was referring to a rise in crime in sweden based on this fox news report? >> well, as athena says it continue as pattern from the campaign. what's striking is how little the pattern has changed as president. the willingness to pick up a report from a conservative outlet, a conservative voice and essentially broadcast it as president without it going

through any of the processes that you would imagine that historically have vetted every word that comes out of a president's mouth is just a characteristic. you get the kind of situation that we have, for example this weekend in munich at the munich conference on security where you have open questioning by u.s. allies when vice president mike pence and others speak reassuring words about the nato alliance whether in fact they are speaking for the president. president's words matter. there's no question that they are emerging from this president to a very different process than we have seen probably for any other in modern times. >> his whole style all along and what's end appealing for his supporters he shoots from the hip what he says. but now that he's president, how significant is it? what are the possible ramifications particularly when he talks about another country and insinuating there's something bad going on in that country? >> it can be a double edge

sword. you're exactly right. his speaking style. the fact that he doesn't give as much consideration to how his words are going to play among the political class, that was refreshing for a lot of his supporters. but it has gotten him in trouble repeatedly particularly when it comes to matters of foreign policy. that's an area where a light touch is required. and president trump's temperament is not well suited for the world of diplomacy and why i think vice president pence is such an effective mouthpiece for the trump administration because he has always been so good at putting a more nuanced face on the trump administration's policies and i think it's why you see he's the one delivering the strong pro nato message. >> ron just this morning -- >> one quick thought. which is that, i'm not saying sara is saying this. often a remark that trump style is appealing to his supporters and they like this kind of off

the cuff, not scripted. and there's unquestionably a portion of his base that does like that. that by itself was not enough to win. if you look at the exit polls one quarter of the people who voted for him said they doubted whether he has the temperament or qualifications to be president. they wanted to take a chance. they didn't like hillary clinton. they had doubts. if you look at his approval rating in polling, college educated voters his approval rate cigarette down to 35%. it's a mistake to say everyone with him initially is comfortable with the style he's brought to the white house. >> fair point. i want to go to what we heard this morning, john kasich warning about the impact of the president's words and the impact they have on our relationships, the u.s. relationships we say with allies. take a listen. >> and the fact of the matter is that words matter. i think the administration needs to understand that loose words,

frankly, causes great concern. one of the things that amazes me on this trip over here is as much as the europeans criticize the united states of america, they love us, they need us, they tell us that and in some sense they are almost begging us please stand with us. you're the leader. no one else can fill your role. >> so, ron, i want to pose the same question to you as i asked sara. do you think president trump understands the possible ramifications that can come from his statements particularly when talk about other countries. >> john kasich is the physical embodiyment of what we talked about. that reluctant trump. his constituency is the kind of voters that we're describing. no, look, donald trump, president trump views himself as a disrupter as much abroad as at home. in his interview the sunday before the inaugural he said quote he could care less if the european union dissolved, the european union that grew out of an american initiative dating

back to the 1950s. one of the other political leaders at the conference that governor kasich is attending said they view that as an verbal delaration of war against europe. i think he revels in the idea he's someone that's breaking the china both at home and abroad and kind of shattering diplomatic norms but there are real world consequences to it. and there is a great deal of uncertainty, not only in foreign capitals but among many on capitol hill like senator john mccain who has emerged as his deepest critic from either party as far as his conduct on foreign affairs. >> as well as lindsey graham. listen to what senator graham said. >> i hope he'll embrace the idea that as the leader of the free world he should be working with us to punish russia to our german friends you're next. to our friends in france, they are coming after you. to my friend mr. lavrov, i hope

you finally suffer some consequences for what you and your regime have been doing to the democracies in 2017 will be a year of kicking russia in ass in congress. >> so, sara, what kind of message does this send that congress and even the vice president are taking drastically different stances than the president? >> well, pence has been interesting to watch this weekend, how he's spoken about russia because he's trying to draw a distinction between being weak on russia and wanting to reset relations with russia because president trump hasn't really articulated that distinction himself but hinted that that's where he wants to go with the u.s.-moscow relationship. you've seen that tougher language against russia come from nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the u.n.. she's talking how the u.s. will not tolerate russia's actions in ukraine sponsorship you do see the foreign policy as it relates to russia starting to take on a more nuanced shape.

president trump hasn't really addressed the russia issue himself yet. but we will expect him to have to do that eventually especially as we get further into his administration. >> all right, sara westwood, ron brownstein. that you both for your analysis and perspective. coming up on this sunday much more on the breaking news. senate intelligence committee telling the trump administration to preserve documents on russia. i'll get reaction from democratic congressman from florida. plus new leads in the mysterious death of kim jong-un's half brother as accusations swirl that north korea ordered the killing. a bad cold and a bag of coffee. jeanne moos on all the things that lasted longer than michael flynn in the white house. it's unlimited without compromising reliability, on the largest, most advanced 4g lte network in america.

breaking news on trump's administration. the senate intelligent committee investigating months kois

meddling in the 2016 election. telling the trump administration to preserve all your documents related to russia. let's talk with the man who experienced american politics inside both parties. that's charlie crist a former republican governor of florida and author of "the party's over how the extreme right hijacked the gop and i became a democrat." congressman, thank you for coming on. >> a pleasure to be on here. >> i want to get your thoughts. how significant is this request to preserve records on russia, in your view? >> i think it's very important. you know, i was governor of florida. i also was attorney general before i was governor. so investigations are nothing new to me. when somebody makes a request to preserve that kind of documentation they are doing it for a reason. the reason is to preserve the record. they want to be able to investigate appropriately and properly, make sure they have a good documented rationale.

they need to preserve the document and so those who investigate can review them in a comprehensive fashion. >> earlier this week house minority leader nancy pelosi alluded the trump campaign could be deleting documents related to russia. here's what she said. >> i'm afraid they will destroy the documents, but that level -- the fact that i would even say that, that level of trust has gone so far low in all of this. that's too bad because we're talking about the national security of our country, our intelligence. >> so what is your reaction to that? what do you think was behind those comments? >> well, genuine concern. leader nancy pelosi is incredibly intelligent. her concern is coming from a genuine place of a patriot. and wanting to be sure we protect the assistasanctity of

democracy and our elections. i've been with her in many meetings and talked with her about this issue. i applaud her concern. >> do you have the same concern? >> i hope it isn't happening. i think we all should be concerned. i think it's important whenever you're talking about the possibility of a foreign country messing around with the american electorate and our actual carrying out of our democracy why wouldn't you be concerned about that. >> but concerned about documents being deleted specifically what nancy pelosi was speaking about. >> well she's concerned about it, i'm concerned about it. let me put it that way. i have no independent information that indicates that may be happening. you know as a former prosecutor you always give the benefit of the doubt and everyone is always innocent until proven guilty. but making the request i think is prudent and smart. >> congressman let me ask you democrats have complained bitterly for years about congressional republicans obstructing president obama's agenda being the party of no. do you feel democrats have been

too quick to turn on president trump? >> i don't think so. i think we've shown a willingness frankly to try to work together, for example, in the area of infrastructure. listen democrats, republicans and independents know that we have roads and bridges that need help, rails that need to be improved, airports and seaports that need be modernized. we can all agree on that. another area where we agree and the president said as much during the course of the campaign he wants to protect social security and medicare. certainly democrats feel the same way. i know the citizens in the county that i have the privilege to represent feel that way as well. i think there are areas where we can agree. certainly somewhere we cannot. >> so i actually -- you mentioned some of the areas where you are in agreement with president trump and you also said that you're willing to potentially support his plan to impose 35% tariffs on u.s. companies that send jobs abroad. here's what you said. >> the concept is a good one.

i think the spirit of it is on the mark. and i think the most important thing at least that i heard in st. petersburg and clearwater, florida, charlie if you win you got to do what's right for the american people because they've had it up to here with the divisiveness and arguing. whatever we can do to then middle class in our country we need to do it together dynasty in a spirit of cooperation. any good idea that's presented, we have to be open minded to receive it. i mean just because the messenger is somebody that was in a different party is no reason to cast it out. >> so that was six weeks ago. now a super p.a.c. is vowing to mount a primary challenge against any democrat that doesn't fight president trump on every single issue. are you willing to risk a challenge when supporting donald trump on this issue? >> i'm willing to do what's right for people of my district.

they are my boss. literally. they call it a democracy. we people. so that's what i'm going to do. i'll fight to preserve social security. i'll fight preserve medicare. i'll fight for our vets. these are things that i think are more to americans. one other thing, the thing i heard most about during the course of the campaign, all of those issues were very important along with jobs. but so was the notion of working together as i said six weeks ago on cnn. it is important. people tell me that all the time whether i'm shopping at the publix or cvs or walgreen's. charlie, work together. do what's right for us. we don't care about party as much as we care about make being sure that people are being represented appropriately. put people above politics and do the right thing. >> let me just quickly ask you congressman, one of the headlines today is what president trump said about sweden last night and he tweeted he was referring to a fox news

report that he saw about immigrants going into sweden and as we know that caught the attention of leaders in sweden, the swedish embassy tweeted out it's looking for clarification. what's your reaction the president took something he saw on fox news and went to this rally and spoke about it? >> well i don't know if we know it was only from fox news. maybe he tweeted that. >> he tweeted that. >> i believe you. he's getting briefings that you and i aren't privy to. there may be more than what was reported and what fox had to say about it. i'll reserve judgment on that. i know some swedish officials said we're not sure what he's talking about. i'm sure they are concerned. we're all concerned. i think what the president understands is when he says something everybody hears it. it's important. and people have to be cautious with their words and be prudent and i'm sure that he will. and will strive to do that going forward. >> congressman charlie crist

welcome back. live in the cnn newsroom. now to the mysterious and still

unsolved death of the north korean leader's half brother. it's six days since kim jong-nam was attacked at an airport in malaysia and died shortly afterwards. several new developments happened. south korean officials now say they believe it was a hit, an assassination ordered by the north korean government. also today, seven new suspects are being hunted. that's in addition to four people already in custody. let's go live to the capital of malaysia right now, kuala lumpur. so what makes the south korean government so sure that whoever killed kim jong-un's half brother was acting on orders from pyongyang? >> reporter: well the latest information from malaysian police where they revealed to us pictures of four new suspects. they say are north korean citizens. they also told us in a packed press conference that these men left the country on the same day as the attack. they consider them suspects.

now it's because of that the south korean unify occasion ministry, it deals with north korea and seoul say they have no doubt any more that pyongyang is behind this now murder investigation. and you'll remember that it was as early as the next day after he was killed that south korea intelligence officials said they believe north korea was behind this because they have made several previous attacks on his life. >> so what else are malaysian investigators saying about the cause of kim's death? >> reporter: yeah. they are still having trouble finding out what exactly caused the death. they say they are waiting on toxicology and pathology reports. they are also saying, though, they won't release the body or complete their post mortem examination or autopsy until an unless a member of kim

jong-nam's family formally identify him. it's going prove difficult. kim jong-nam was living in exile. his family members are either in hiding or in north korea. >> thank you for bringing us the latest from kuala lumpur. coming up on this sunday the fight to free mosul. a new offensive to retake the iraqi city from isis. what about all the innocent people caught right in the middle of it? cancer cell by the body's own immune system, thanks to medicine that didn't exist until now. and today can save your life. ♪ ♪ mattress firmness? enter sleep number... she likes the bed soft.

in iraq this weekend a large scale military mission has begun to push isis out of western mosul. iraqi forces dropped leaflets over western mosul a few hours ago warning 800,000 civilians that the offensive was about to start. mosul is the last remaining stronghold in iraq. ben wedeman is following developments from istanbul.

>> reporter: the latest and subsidize phase to drive isis out of mosul, iraq's second largest city began at the crack of dawn. before iraqi prime minister announced the beginning of operations on iraqi television, iraqi and coalition aircraft and artillery pummelled isis targets in the western part of the city. overnight iraqi airplanes dropped millions of leaflets on mosul calling isis fighters to put down their weapons and surrender and warning civilians to stay in their homes and cooperate with iraqi forces. since then those forces have moved from the south and southwest towards the center of the city. their first objective to take mosul airport. resistance is expected to be fierce. isis has dug a complicated network of tunnels in the city and is already using armed

drones and is expected they will as usual use many suicide car bombers. the most difficult or challenging part of this operation for government forces will be to minimize civilian casualties. there are as many as 650 to 800,000 civilians living in the western part of the city and isis has never hesitated to use civilians as human shields. the humanitarian situation in the west is dire. food, medicine, fuel and drinking water, safe drinking water are in seriously short supply and humanitarian groups expect hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee the city as the fighting intensifies. ben wedeman, cnn, istanbul. thanks to ben wedeman. fighting back through social media how democrats are now trying to take one of the president's favorite tools and

after devastating losses in the general election democrats are trying to strike back using cyber space. we take a look at the party's social media revenge plan. >> should i keep the twitter going or not? keep it going? >> president trump has been lining up feather ruffling

tweets since his inauguration. but on capitol hill the democrats have been flocking to social media too. >> join me by calling your congress person. >> upping their aptitude for a new era of political communication. >> the tools are more limited for the minority party. the more attention they can draw to something the more likely they are able to get some sort of victory out of it. >> adam connor helped opened up facebook's first washington office. he's been helping members of congress learn how to use social media. >> donald trump demonstrated social media is a tool that can have power and authenticity and is something that they can no longer ignore. >> minority leader chuck schumer is overhauling the media center and implementing a new broad strategy. >> we're reaching the people where they are, facebook, snapchat, twitter. hi, everybody. >> just in time for controversial confirmation hearings that most constituents data point watch live. what many did see were short

shareable snippets meant to sway their opinion. >> do you not want to answer my question? >> this clip of education secretary nominee betsy devos received 25 million views on senator schumer's facebook page. in response to epa nominee scott pruitt senator cory booker posted his floor speech. and hawaii's senator post this shot of series of hash tag memes. earlier this month republicans stopped elizabeth warren from presenting an opposing view of then attorney general nominee jeff sessions from coretta scott king. >> i'm surprised the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. >> so she logged on to facebook live. >> i just want to read the letter. >> used to be just the moment on the day of the hearing is what people paid attention. now you have this after effect. the unflattering clips.

it really is a full cycle that's what the nominees have to kind of weather. >> after president obama's inauguration in 2009 republicans stepped up their social media game as well. beginning a year's long messaging competition with the white house. >> president made an outstanding choice. >> both parties are seeing more followers. they are sharing talking points on more platforms than ever. but also adding into the plethora of false information. >> just this morning, france tweet thaend is a quote, scapegoat. >> congressman cummings and nancy pelosi. >> not scapegoat, it's stonewall and that's exactly what the republicans in congress are doing. >> bested by fake account for ousted national security adviser michael flynn on tuesday. >> and our cnn media correspondent brian salter joins me now. have the democrats had any success with this social media

strategy you pointed out? >> they have more followers, more contents. but not political success we can point to. you think about the confirmation hearings and we've seen almost all of trump's nominees go ahead and get confirmed so far. of course the labor secretary situation ended up having to have a new labor secretary nominee. for the most part republicans have succeeded in their efforts in the past 30 days or so. what the democrats are doing they are arming themselves with these social media tools and they are trying to meet trump on his home turf on social media. the president received so much attention, so many kudos for his use of twitter and facebook during the campaign and now it's the democrats trying to catch up. >> and one democrat in particular who has become more outspoken online would be former first daughter chelsea clinton. just this morning she reacted to the president's speech last night when he said something happened to sweden even though there was no incident. here's what she tweeted. she said what happened sweden

friday night? did they catch the bowling green massacre perpetrators? there she's talking about what kellyanne conway said about the bowling green massacre which never happened. is that effective? >> it's easier to get shares and likes and retweets. a lot easier to get that than votes. what we see here are the democrats trying to figure out how to basically be their own media companies. president trump was very effective during the campaign. creating instagrams and tweets and facebook posts. and getting them to spread virally. not that the clinton campaign was less successful doing that but donald trump took to twitter in really a unique way. what we see now from senators and representatives on the democratic side is an attempt to figure out what's shareable, what will go viral. some with more success than others. cory booker had a lot of success. i mentioned that mistake that nancy pelosi and cummings made. you have to be careful out there on the social web. some congressmen are getting fooled by hoax accounts.

it can be a twisted web on the worldwide web. >> then there's this other strategy with trolling. you saw that with former president obama's white house photographer, he had been trolling president obama on instagram and one example of that after those photos surfaced of president trump and japanese prime minister looking at documents in mar-a-lago, susan respond with this picture of president obama in el salvador with the caption when we were on the road, head of state phone calls were conducted in a private secure location set up on site. is trolling becoming the hot political attack of the future from what you have learned? >> souza would say he's not trolling. he's trying to get under trump's skin, trying to show a contrast between obama and trump and every picture souza posts is aimed to show that contrast. it's a way to say something without actually saying it.

souza has been doing that for the past few weeks. other democrats trying to critique trump more directly. the president said at his rally i'm going around the filter of fake news speak towing all directly. that's exactly what the minority party is trying to do on social media as well. you can think of all politicians nowadays as their own immediate where a companies trying to create their own contact to influence voters. >> a lot of them, a lot of these politicians are older and having to learn how to use it as you pointed out some of those examples. president trump continually uses twitter to get his message out. are you seeing republicans other republicans also using the this strategy as well? >> indeed. this is sort of like an arms race. every, two every four years around the mid terms but around presidential elections one party leapfrogs the other party in use of technology. right now it's the democrats having to play catch up after trump's win in the white house. you can match four or eight years it will be the republicans

trying to play catch up when the democrats can take power back. it's this constant effort to get ahead of the other party with the use of social media and use of data in order to win votes. >> thank you so much. a reminder catch brian on his show "reliable source" every sunday at 11:00 a.m. stick around. we have a lot more to discuss. >> now in today's impact your wor world, a struggle on indian reservations to heat their homes is a live or death matter in south dakota. one organization is helping them in a simple but impactful way. winters here can be life threatening. one spirit is a nonprofit that helps south lakota people here on the reservation here in south dakota. we have homes that are below standard, our people struggle with poverty and no jobs.

so many people here have wood stoves because it's the cheapest way to heat your home. >> we would probably have to just burn anything. just burn clothes or burn shoes something just to keep warm. >> we're kind of in open country. so sometimes the wood is farther to get. the people just struggle to be able to get out to get the wood because of the poverty. there's no gas money to get out there. no vehicle. we go out, cut the wood. carry the wood in the house where it's needed. >> before just really cold, there's hardly any wood for us. have to put plastic outside and inside just to keep warm. brought that wood over and that's helpful for us. >> part of our culture to help one another. >> here we go.
