3:01 am
what our mission is. ♪ >> the nobel prize committee has absolutely been looking for bob dylan. ♪ just like so many times before ♪ good morning. we are so grateful to see you on this sunday morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. starting with good musk. the trump administration is gearing up with crucial week that would be a big win if judge neil gorsuch is confirmed to the supreme court. >> vice president mike pence says the, quote, obstructionists won't be able to stand in the way. >> memts more revelations about the administration's ties to russia potentially are making it hard to move on. we have new details this morning about previously undisclosed speaking fees paid to the former national security adviser
3:02 am
michael flynn. >> all this for the deal of a budget deal looms. congress has just seven working days to reach an agreement before the government runs out of money at the end of the month. new white house financial disclosure forms raising more questions about michael flynn's alleged ties to russia. >> the former national security adviser is now confirming he received thousands of dollars from speaking fees from three russian companies. our ryan noble reviewed the documents and he has this for us. >> reporter: the white house has just released financial disclosure forms from former national security adviser michael flynn. the forms tell us quite a bit about where flynn made his money in 2016. he took in a total of $1.5 million. he also had three different income sources from speeches. among them the television network rt which is a state-run television network, also a cargo company and cyber security firm. each one of these speeches paid
3:03 am
flynn at least $5,000, the minimum necessary to be reported on these forms. we know through house democrats the speech he gave to rt allowed flynn to make as much as $45,000. anyone did not report these income source on his february form but then added them on his march form. the rt speech in particular is something that we have known about for some time but we originally had been told that the income from this speech was given for a speaker's bureau and not from rt directly. the updated financial disclosure form shows that the speech was, indeed, paid for by rt specifically. you can bet that this information is going to become a big issue for democrats in particular as they continue to investigate the trump campaign's connection to the russian government as the russian government's attempts to intervene in the american election. ryan nobles, cnn, washington.
3:04 am
general flynn's lawyer released this statement to cnn here. i'm going to read it here. russia is now blasting the pentagon condemning u.s. military action in iraq. paula newton is live for us in russia. paula, i know this has to do with the loss of civilian casualties in the u.s. bombing. some pretty biting bold verbiage from russia this morning toward the u.s.? >> yeah. you can say that again. obviously, it comes within the context that we were just talking about in terms of those
3:05 am
investigations that go on in capitol hill. you can expect to hear this escalation and language throughout the weeks and months to come. specifically as you point out, this was quite biting. this was about the u.s.-led coalition and air strikes in iraq and saeyria. they say the loss of life was absurd. i want to show you something else and put it up here. this is from the russian defense minute city now, a statement. what are the motives of the american command putting the veil of confidential illustrate and keeping secret the crime of terrorists from the international community. what they are getting at there is basically alleging that the u.s. is in some way complicit with isis in the way it conducts the air strikes on the ground in iraq and syria. this time specifically pointing to the loss of life. very krovergial the very controversial in mosul.
3:06 am
both saying russia' actions have beengraphy -- been aggressive. you can expect to hear a lot more of this from moscow. >> no doubt. paula newton, thank you for breaking it down for us. let's talk with gabby a white house correspondent with "the washington post" and a professor at princeton university. let's start with former nsa michael flynn here and what could be delayed at best disclosure now of payments from rt. these are missions that do not have been in a vacuum. of course, the retroactive filing as a foreign agent and misleading the administration about as communication with the russian ambassador. what more do these sdlos urs now tell us about potentially this relationship with russia and general flynn? >> they don't tell us any more
3:07 am
details. they do tell us that the administration officials have not been totally forthcoming in the extent of the contacts and the speeches and the communication that existed. i don't think this revelation gets us any closer to whether there was collusion over the 2016 campaign, but it does go against the famous lesson in american politics meaning that the cover-up often is the worst part of the political crime. and i think that is the question this kind of revelation raise. >> gabby, does this tell us more about the vetting or lack thereof done by transition official, campaign officials as they moved into the white house? >> yeah. it absolutely does. i think it's important to clarify, first, that a lot of the top senior white house officials, including the press secretary sean spicer, haven't said whether or not they were aware of many of these ties that mike flynn had prior to him
3:08 am
entering the white house. it was just as much a surprise to them to see that he was registered as a foreign agent as it was to the press corps last month when we figured that out. as it was, when we found out that he had significant ties to and had been working for a turkish-owned company. so i think that it is definitely a -- there was a glaring lack of vetting that took place with general flynn and with others in this administration, and those who were involved in the campaign like paul manafort. mike flynn and paul manafort have come up again and again over their connections to russia and liking would have come up with if the vetting had been nor thorough. >> gabby just mentioned paul manafort and sean spicer. i want to play for you from march 22nd during the white house briefing there questions to sean spicer about what the white house knew and comparing at that time to the discovery
3:09 am
that paul manafort had received money from a russian billionaire. here is what ed about mike flynn and disclosure at that time. >> he filled out forms under -- under the penalty of law. i don't know what was on his forms or not on his forms. remember. what the president let him go for was not being truthful to the vice president and not necessarily what was on a form which i did not know what he fill out or did not fill out. if somebody fills out a form, fs 86 security clearance form or another employment document and lies on that form or misleads they face the penalty of law on that. >> any expecting that there are -- he's already been fired but any further consequences for general flynn? >> well, look. at this point, i couldn't say that there will be. i think -- look. two different issues. one, the disclosures and one is the sloppiness in the vetting. >> yeah. >> it's unclear whether anyone is going to do anything about this new revelation. he has been fired at this point. the second is the big issue.
3:10 am
the big issue is the investigation into the collusion and this is just one more piece of evidence that will be part of the discussions that there were more extensive interactions between trump officials and russian organization and russian government officials than we knew. i think, at this point, it's the latter, where the biggest damage will happen. >> gabby, turn to congress. they have to send a funding bill to the president to sign just as he round out his first 100 days in office. there is a strong likelihood they are going to need some democratic support to get that bill to the president. i want you to listen to democratic leader nancy pelosi and talking about one specific item that democrats will not support. let's listen. the issue is spending billions and billions of dollars on 2,000 mile wall or something like that. it's immoral and decent and
3:11 am
ineffective and so ridiculous. beyond that, we have to see the substance of what is in the bill. but it's always been a negotiation and they have never been able to pass one without democratic votes. >> so democrats are not on board for funding the wall. health care didn't get a vote. the travel ban 1 and 2 snarled in the courts. what is the potential that the president would trade off funding for this wall in this bill or it would even get that far? >> well, i don't think that president trump, right now, with the state that his administration is in, wants to see a government shutdown occur. that is probably the last thing that his administration wants in term of optics right now especially with all of these questions going on about russia the failure of the health care bill and all of the implications that they will face going into tax reform and infrastructure. i think this might be an area where he actually is willing to make some concessions in order to win democratic support to avoid that. it doesn't seem like that is the case.
3:12 am
he has spoken directly to house speaker paul ryan, as confirmed by the white house last week, about the government funding bill and it seems like there is something that, you know, ongoing discussions are occurring and a government shutdown is the last thing he wants to see happen. >> julian, what is the pontentil there is democratic support up for grabs at all for anything the president proposes? >> i don't think much support. the only support is with gorsuch. we no two democrats have supported that. on the spending, i think democrats are going to hold firm. you have a republican president right now who is on the defense so many democrats are saying, why should we concede to anything at this point? let the republicans struggle, let the republicans fight among each other and possibly let the republicans implode. >> julian and gabby, thank you both. >> thank you. general electric ceo is talking about president trump.
3:13 am
he says he tries to stay out of politics but he thinks it's necessary to stand up against some of trump's policies. listen to what he told cnn's fareed zakaria about the president's rollback of environmental regulations. >> you have done something unusual the last couple of months. you have twice, to your employees, come out essentially in opposition to something the administration did on the travel fan. you expressed concerns and on climate change policies, you expressed concerns in mom memo where you essentially disagreed with the trump administration. talk about how crucial it was that the u.s. continue to be a world leader on climate change. why did you feel the need to do this? >> i say, by and large, ceos should kind of keep their head down and do their work. and in many ways, i agree exactly with what president trump is doing. but we also are stewarded for companies and for brands and for
3:14 am
people. on the travel ban, look. we have a lot of people that live in the middle east. we have a lot of people that travel. it's my duty to stand up for them. clearly, you want the country to be safe. but it's also my duty to kind of stand up on their behalf. on climate, look. for 12 years we have been investing an initiative called ecoimagination which is really talked about driving energy efficiency in everything we do and we have been doing it consistently. we have booked over 00 billion dollars of revenue in that initiative the last 12 years. i think it's insincere not stand up for those things that you believe in. i don't think it's something we should do every day but i do think we are also stewards of our companies. we are representatives of the people that work with us. and i think we are cowards if we don't take a position occasionally on those things that are really consistent with what our mission is and where our people stand. >> don't forget you can watch that full interview this morning on fareed za car rk zakaria gps
3:15 am
p.m. eastern time today. >> why some businesses here in the u.s. are now hiring refuges as opposed to some americans. >> the immigrant work force here has filled on avoid that we have had that we were unable to fill with our local labor pool that we were drawing from. also, a mudslide kills more than 200 people in colombia. we will take to the desperate search right now to find hundreds who are still missing. various: (shouting) heigh! ho!

gorsuch nomination. tomorrow, the senate judiciary comooet is set committee is set to vote on his nomination. >> the republicans hoping to reach a magic number 60, of course. in order do so they need at least eight democrats on board. right now, they just have two. but that is two who are pledging to vote yes. vice president mike pence at ohio, yesterday, assured americans they don't have to worry about it, though. >> for the sake of our supreme court, for the sake of our country, for the sake of our constitution we will overcome the obstructionists and the united states will confirm judge neil gorsuch one way or another. joey jackson is joining us. we know that he may utilize the nuclear option in order to reach the number of votes that they have to reach in order to make
3:21 am
this go through. but by using the nuclear option, does that at all diminish the credibility of the vote? good morning. i think it diminishes the credibility of the institution, if i could go as far to say that. i think, ultimately, what does everyone want? you want an institution in washington that is working cooperatively and that is working together for the good of, remember, the people. so when you go and -- you know, i should say this also. to in the event you win area you're the ruling party and the graphic just showed, certainthe 52-48 majority republican versus democrat in the senate, but rules are what they are. precedent in the senate is what it is. if you look back at obama and you look at, you know, keegan, for example, and sonia sotomayor. so you would want to see that continue.
3:22 am
i think it's so polarized now that i think that the republicans have decided that they are going to do what they must in order to get him moved forward and confirmed. so when you talk about credibility, yes, i think it diminishes the credibility of the institution when you simply change the rules to get your way but, at the same time, if there is gridlock, batters need to move forward and i guess what the republicans are considering and deciding you know what? he is going to get on no matter what. >> so senators joe manchin of west virginia and hide on -- heidi heitkamp have committed a yes vote for them they have said we will vote for him. what are the chances that will entice any other democrats to follow suit? >> you know, i think it's about politics. there is the legal issues and then there is the political issues. from a legal perspective, i think you're going to see a confirmation and whether that means that there is only 51
3:23 am
senators as that takes to do it, of course, they have more votes than that as you mentioned with the two democrats and gets them up to the 54. i think from a political perspective, you know, it's a different issue and that is to your question. the reality is that whether other democrats are enticed to vote for the nominee because they are up for re-election next year and they are in states that were carried by, you know, the president now, donald trump, it could entice them but people generally they could be pretty independent and they could decide that for many reasons. and in talking about this, we should also mention a lot of it relates to merrick garland and how he was treated. you mare obama attempting to fill that vacancy left by antonin scalia who unfortunately passed last year and he wasn't given the democrats. in light of that you see the democrats saying look what you did to our nominee. this is what we are going to do to yours. could others follow suit and because thee two senators have decided to vote do the same? yeah, they could but, at the
3:24 am
same time, they could say you know what? we are opting out and we believe, based upon how you treated our nominee in the past and based upon general principles, we are not going to move forward because many do believe that gorsuch was evasive during the supreme court confirmation hearings. >> real quickly. because only a couple of seconds. a lot of people say, look. this guy is -- he's worth it to vote for him. do you know what i mean? he's got everything that you need essentially. do you take a risk because if he doesn't get it, who else are you going to bring up next? and that was the same argument that was made with merrick garland. are we going to see a nominee appointed at some point soon? if you're the ruling party the president has a right to appoint a president i guess if you will a supreme court nominee.
3:25 am
that is that person who favors the values that. what you'd like to see is a mainstream person who can garnish support from both sides and so you look at it and you say, in the event that you do block gorsuch do you get somebody worse than him moving forward? or do you get somebody potentially who could be better? just briefly. we have a aging supreme court. you look at bader ginsburg and they are getting up there in age. what could could we be talking about in the years ahead? trump may be appointing other justice to come. >> a lot of politics in play. joey, thank you. one of gorsuch foamrmer law clerk, i spoke with teresa warden. watch. something we are getting from a democratic senator who released this weekend she will not be
3:26 am
voting to confirm judge gorsuch from missouri senator claire mccaskill. i cannot support judge gorsuch because a study of his opinions. you say to that what? >> i would say take another look at the record. judge gorsuch as a tenth circuit judge sits with two other judges on a three judge panel. he is sitting with two other judges on the opinions he is deciding. many of those judges were appointed by democratic president and others by republic president. he was in the majority meaning 2 out of 3 agreed, 98% of the time that he voted and i believe 97% of the time those opinions were unanimous. >> he is the center of this
3:27 am
discussion over the potential for republicans to use the nuclear option saying that it will take just 51 votes to break a filibuster instead of 60 on a nominee to the court. based on what you know about his record, are you surprised by his record and this judge coming to the center of this fight? >> i am surprised. i am a democrat. i can't claim to be any sort of political expert. so i can't comment on exactly what is going on but i am surprised to see judge gorsuch portrayed as extremist or ideological. >> theresa wardon, thank you for your perspective. >> thanks for having me remember how dire america's drug crisis is. the u.s. businesses hiring

work with refuges in these situation don't want to talk about it. >> they don't want to admit there is a problem when it comes to drug testing and refuges are filling that void and president trump's executive order putting a temporary ban on refuges and lack of jobs in the rust belt business in a tough as to the especially when they need drug-free workers like this man from syria who is a refuge and arrived in erie, pennsylvania, last summer. within three months, he got a job at the factory.

3:43 am
3:44 am
brian, what are you learning this morning? >> "the new york times" story on the top of the front page this morning. it is an explosive story. it had been in the works for months. it comes you think about nine months to last summer when fox news was rocked by the resignation of roger ailes, a long time founding ceo and chairman of the channel. that resignation was prompted by a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment by ex-anchor gretchen carlson. remember after she came forward, other women also said they had been harassed by ailes. ailes stepped aside last september. now bill o'reilly is back in the headlines in the worst way possible. there was a settlement in a case involving o'reilly many years ago. now "the new york times" says there has actually been five different cases of sexual or verbal harassment alleged by women, sometimes coworkers of o'reilly and there were secret
3:45 am
settlements in these cases. totaling $13 million as you said, over the years. here is what fox's parent company says about this. says o'reilly strongly denies the allegations. he says there are no merit to the allegations. then the statement went on to say fox takes matter of workplace behavior very seriously. while he denies the merits of these claims, mr. o'reilly has resolved those he has regardeded as hess personal responsibility. o'reilly is fully committed to supporting our efforts to improve the environment for all of our employees at fox news. i think what is notable here, o'reilly is saying in a statement on his website that this is something that happens to famous people. people who are in the public eye who are maybe political figures or celebrities. there are attempts to make money off those people and to make baseless charges and then try to get settlements. so he is saying he settled these matters privately partly to keep them out of the public eye so his children would not hear about these cases. as i said, he is denying the
3:46 am
allegations but the times says this does seem to be a pattern of behavior and we know there is at least one other woman that has not reached a settlement, wanda waltz who is holding a press conference tomorrow on monday. so this is not something that is going away for o'reilly right away easement if they had paid out $13 million that is a lot of money and still standing by him, it says a lot about what they think of him, how fox values him. >> i think you might put o'reilly in the same kind of category that you would put an nfl star or an nba star. you know, someone or a huge hit musician. someone who is, yes, he is a tv news host who hosts an opinion show but he is really a massive celebrity, a profit machine. in this case not for a football team or for a label, but for a cable news channel. o'reilly, the biggest star on cable news, you know, for his conservative commentary. he has many millions of viewers who tune in specifically for
3:47 am
him. as a result, fox makes tens, actually hundred millions of dollars of profits thanks to his show over the years. so he is a very valuable asset for fox news and probably the single most valuable asset for the channel and makes this really implicated for fox, for its parent company 21st century fox. the network is essentially saying o'reilly says the claims are not true and most of the settlements were done personally, at least one was done personally he paid himself in one of these cases. the network, paeapparently, rend his contract with the knowledge this "the new york times" was in the works. >> brian setlor, thank you very much. rescuers in columbia are trying to find more than 200 missing in a massive mudslide that has already killed 250. where to watch for tornado. severe wind and even baseball-sized hail is expected today. allison chinchar, what is going
3:48 am
