believe to hit the continental u.s., it has to be able to hit the earth's atmosphere without disintegrating. if what kelly says is true, that could be very alarming. >> brian, we'll watch this story very, very closely. thanks very much. and to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in this situation room. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. next, the president goes it alone on health care even if it means breaking another campaign promise. this as his chief of staff is in full damage control mode. plus, how russia manipulated an online game used by companies. and the harvey weinstein sex scandal explodes. the nypd and scotland yard investigating. let's go "outfront." >> and good evening. hypocrite in chief. president trump today doing something he harshly criticized president obama for doing. trump signing his 50th executive

order today. the move allows insurance to sell bare bones health care plans to don't meet the obamacare requirements and the it is the most damaging blow to obamacare. the president clearly pleased with the move today. >> we're all gathered together for something i believe that's going to be very, very powerful for our nation and very good for a lot of people. >> this is the same donald trump though who said this repeatedly about barack obama's use of executive orders. >> you have a president that signs executive orders because he can't get anything done. right now, obama goes around signing executive orders. he can't even get along with the democrats and he goes around signing these orders. nobody ever heard of an executive order, then all of a sudden, obama, because he couldn't get anybody to agree with him, starts lining them like they're butter, so i want to do away with them for the most part.

>> for the most part. the fact rs, the president is not keeping his word. he's signing 50 executive orders, which is about one every five days. the it is double the number the man he called a disaster signed. president obama signed 26 ex executive orders by the 12th of october his first year in office. trump's running a double. his 50th comes as headlines paint his white house in chaos. in just a past few days here are three. i hate everyone in the white house. fear the president is unravel ing from "vanity fair." a pressure cooker. trump's frustration and fury. rupture alliances and threaten agenda and from the "l.a. tim " times," trump lashing out morning, nights and weekends. john kelly today making a rare appearance in the press briefing room to refute those and say it is not his job to control the president. >> as far as the tweets go, it's funny. i read in the paper. you all know, you write it. that you know rk i was, i've been a failure at controlling the president. or a failure at controlling his

tweeting. again, i was not sent in, or i was not brought to this job to control anything but the flow of information to our president. >> hmm. okay. jeff is "outfront" at the white house. he is the chief of staff. it would appear his job on some level is to control the president, isn't it? >> i think that is a very difficult job for any president, se certainly this one i believe. who sees the president, what information gets to him. he has told reporters before and again today that he does not control what the president says, tweets. but he can control who sees the president, what information he gets. but easterrin, i was so struck e simple fact the chief of staff felt the need to come to the briefing room to say i'm not getting fired. this is the second senior official, tillerson last week, to announce i am still on board.

i'm not getting fired. certainly very unusual, erin. >> sorry to laugh, but yes, unusual, understatement of the evening so far. but look, jeff, you've also pointed out what is let's just call a very interesting contrast between something the president said on saturday and what general kelly said today about general kelly's job. let me play it. >> he's a military man. but he loves doing this. which is chief of staff more than anything he's ever done. >> i would offer it is not the best job. best job was when i was an enlisted marine sergeant infantry man. >> okay, jeff, make sense of that. >> i think the looks on their faces and tone of their voice kind of tell the story here. the president saying no, it's the best job he ever had. we heard from john kelly himself, again, a retired, four-star marine general. he was in retirement. brought back out first to become

dhs secretary and now lead this. i think he clearly said and it seemed pretty believable to me, this is not the best job. he said it's the most important job. it's a tough job. and erin, i think pretty much anyone who's had that job could not disagree that this is a very tough job to be the chief of staff for any president. certainly this president. >> yes, although maybe this presidential wa president wants to maier more it's the best chief of staff he ever had. dana bash is with me. along with and a half talley and jamie, our special correspondent. dana, kelly said it's not his job to control what the presidential doepresident does. it's forget the outbound. i'm going to control the information he gets and what he hears and everything else. heeb's saying the tweets are no his responsibility. loud and clear, dana. >> he is a four-star. he understands the importance of defining a mission. and only executing the mission that is defined.

it would make no sense for anybody who has watched this president for a nano second to think they can control his tweets. meaning if he thought his mission was to take away his phone, to say please, mr. president, don't tweet, that would be a mission failure right off the bat. so he understood that from beginning and was trying to make it clear today. i think the fact he came out, the fact he was doing this obvious damage control. the way he did it, he might have said similar thing sos what we hear from sarah sanders about the media or this or that or the president, but the way he did it with self-deppry kating humor, the tone, listening to the reporter's questions, it was a very different kind of demeanor and when the concern about this white house is the feeling of uncontrolled chaos, that sort of

thing we heard from the chief of staff today was something that went further in the damage control than anything he said. >> tim, that is the question, right? he came out to refute those bad headlines. that's what is out there. and it's out there from source after source after source. this is what people who work there are saying. they can say that they're not, but they are. and headlines about chaos and unhinu unhinged president. did kelly do the job today to put that to rest? >> the fact that he had to do the job i think just legit mated a lot of the sourcing seems much better now. the fact he had the to come out and say that. when people say there's no chaos, it's usually because there's chaos. i think the key moment in this today was when he said it's not my mission. to, to restrain the president's tweeting. he can't say publicly that it is his mission. we're going to have to wait for

his memoirs. >> then he looks hike a fact yur to dt, then you're out. >> i wasn't expecting him to say i am. he can't. the fact he didn't get angry, the fact he understood that was the fair question. the fact that he was able to maintain theis demeanor is a sin he knows what he has to do and that he's doing it as best he can. >> go ahead. >> nobody asked him, would you like not to tweet? this was a very specific message. that i can't control this. you may all think that i should, but i can't. that's not my mission. >> which i guess everyone knows no one can control that, but it is stunning when the person who is closest and has the most power to do so is admitting they absolutely cannot. this lends itself to the reality that trump is increasingly alone. those 50 orders are because of what he said obama's problem

was. he can't even get his own party. he's got congress, house and senate. can't get anything through. here he is though proudly saying he is the one alone who will make the big decision on north korea. here he is yesterday. >> i think i have a little bit different attitude on north korea than other people might have. and i listen to everybody, but ultimate ly my attitude is the one that matters, isn't it? that's the way it works. >> what do senior republicans say about this? >> heads are are shaking. eyes are rolling. beyond that, there is real al m alarm. many, many senior republicans who have been around the town a long time, former white house, former defense department people, they are very nervous. one said to me, i think this is the most dangerous time we've ever faced in national security. because they just don't know. what may come up.

it may be north korea. it may be a -- nobody say 9/11 coming. they don't know. and that kind of attitude scares him. >> ultimately, he's right. that is the way things work, but usually presidents don't come out and say that. tim, we're learning trump is going to desert fi the iran deal. he's going against the advice now of his own top advisers. this isn't a democrat republican thing. here are trump's own men. here he is. >> iran is not a breach of agreement and i believe the agreement to date has delayed the development of a nuclear capability by iran. >> my view on the nuclear deal is they are in technical compliance of the nuclear arrangement, but if you go back and read the preamble to the jcpoa, the nuclear agreement. >> do you believe it's in our national security interest at the present time to remain in the jcpoa? that's a question or no question.

>> yes, senator, i do. >> he says he's listening to those around him. they're all in agreement. he is ignoring them. >> yes, he is. and he's ignoring them because he is dedicated to undermining anything barack obama did. regardless of whether it's useful of not useful. he's the anti obama president. this is the challenge for us. when and i mean americans. when this goes to the congress, what's going to happen is he's going to desert fi it and it's going to go to congress and congress is going to have to decide whether to put sanctions on iran. a lot of congress member, members of congress are going to want to do it because iran has a nasty government. that's not why we have this agreement. we have it because we want to contain them and he is now throwing this to congress. it's very irresponsible. >> you know, dana, before we go, we're learning something new this moment i want to share with you. the man responsible for clearing background checks says the errors in the form that jared kushner submitted were

unprecedented to him. he was asked by in congress today, can you recall if there's ever been an applicant having to submit detailing 100 errors in emissions who till was able to maintain their security clearance. the response was i have not seen the breadth of all applications, but i have never seen this level of mistakes. can he keep his security clearance? >> not sure he has his formal clearance yet. he had temporary clearance. he might, we just don't know it. but the notion of someone of jared cukushner's level, someon who was going into the white house for very senior job, obviously somebody who would be under the microscope because it is no unusual for the president's son-in-law to have that kind of senior job. for him to make mistake after mistake or omission after omission on his disclosure form is pretty embarrassing and pretty bad and he obviously knows that. he, we've heard from sources he

blames his lawyers. whatever the reason, it doesn't matter and the fact of the matter is that this is still an ongoing problem for jared kushner, eve as he continues to do some pretty important work for the president of the united states. >> pretty embarrassing at the very least. okay. thank you all very much and next, a cnn exclusive. first facebook, then twitter. now pokemon go, the game targeted by russians to meddle in the election. plus, an american woman and her family freed tonight after five years o f captives of a taliban linked group. so why doesn't her husband want to come home? and president trump patting hils on the back for his handling of puerto rico after maria. what's the reality on the ground? >> what grade would you give it? >> a d. we have not seen anything. with advil, you'll ask

(giggling) bird: new birds eye veggie made. so veggie good.

top facebook b executive admitting she regrets the company did not learn russia was using its websites to medicine until the presidential election until it was too late. >> we were looking at this you know, certainly not as early as we would have liked to because we wished we would have found it before it ever happened, but as early as we heard any rumor, we started our investigation.

so if you think about 2015 and 2016, the threats people were worried about, hacking, getting into your e-mail account and sharing all of it. >> finds russia's attempts to medicine until the election went well beyond facebook and twitter including an app that nearly 30 million americans were using daily at the time. drew griffin was out front. >> it was a strange e-mail that came to the desk of brandon weigel. don't shoot us. a group claiming to be made up of black activists was mo pro moting a protest outside the upcoming court hearing of baltimore police officer involved in the death of freddie fwra. they wanted him to cover it, but he was suspicious! it wasn't a group i had heard of, locally or nationally. >> cnn has now learned don't shoot us wasn't local nor national. it was russian. and the black act vikt promoting

in baltimore was part of a much bigger strategy that mark jacobson was aimed at attacking the u.s. democratic system. >> what the russians were doing by formatting distrust and organizing rallies is what you do when you want to destroy a country from within. these are war like acts. these are acts designed to destroy the united states. >> a cnn investigation shows russia's prop gaganda attack on the u.s. went beyond using fake accounts and ads on facebook and twitter. cnn tracked principle accounts from don't shoot us across the internet, a website that boasted 300,000 followers. a youtube channel. a tumblr account. most surprising, a post announcing a contest on pokemon go when it was at its most popular, directing gamers to visit locations where alleged police brutality took place.

all part of a kremlin connected campaign of misinformation that actively sought to influence opinion and meddle inside the u.s. the e-mail that arrived on brandon weigel's city paper computer said this is don't shoot. we raised awareness of police vie against people of color. the idea is to protest in front of the baltimore city courthouse and demand justice for freddie gray. >> it makes sense it would be a hot button issue, but i didn't think it was something the russians would exploited. >> they not only exploited devicive racial issues in the u.s., they were operating almost a rapid response to those shootings. in minnesota last july, the day after a man was killed be i a white police officer, don't shoot us was using social media to organize its own protest. the effort failed. because local community members determined something was wrong. turns out, they were right. and their suspiciouses had

russian links. erin, the evidence to the extent the russians went to divide the american electorate just keeps on growing. blacktivist is another russia operated side that was used to try sew discord between the police and blacks in this country. it went so far even as to sell its own t-shirts. as far as we know, the people enganged with these sites, had no idea until now these sites were backed and created by russians. >> thank you very much, drew and now, the democratic congresswoman jackie spear of california. congresswoman, you heard drew's reporting. russia's attempts went way beyond facebook and twirt. pokemon go had 30 million active yauzers. 30 million americans interacting daily with that. is this the extent of russian interference now? or is pokemon go still the tip of the iceberg?

>> i still think it's tip of the iceberg. the russians initiated a comprehensive campaign on platforms to sew division and to create trouble in the united states. there was another website, another facebook page called black matters. there was one heart of texas. they created communities of lgbt, african-american, conservatives and i think that it was a long-term game plan. the russians are always big on long-term game plans. and they are intended or were intending, to use this community of p persons who were of like minds, in future elections as well. >> cheryl sandburg today took questions. a crucial question here, which is whether the trump colluded with russians to target ads on facebook. this is going to be the crucial collusion question. she was asked by mike allen

whether there was any overlap in the facebook b users targeted by russia and the trump campaign and here's what happened. >> what have you all learned about the overlapping targeting between the trump campaign and these russian accounts? >> targeting on facebook is broad. it's use by everyone. >> overlap between the trump campaign and these russian accounts. >> well, targeting is something everyone uses and it goes to the heart of what targeting is. >> but the trump campaign and russian account, you don't know or you won't tell me? >> when the ads get released, we will be releasing the target for those ads. >> three times, she didn't want to answer the question. why do you think that is, congresswoman? >> i met with her today and her message was very clear to me. we want to work with congress. we want to work with the intelligence community. tell us how we can be helpful. >> so are they going to give you all of the targeting so you are

going to be analyze this yourself whether there was overlap? >> i think they're going to give us everything they have. and i think that in some respects, we're not going to be able to tell whether or not there was overlap or maybe there was, but there was probably overlap in many areas. so i think that answer is yet to be had and we will certainly look into it. i think what's most important here though is that we have a very sophisticated campaign undertaken by the russians. it is long-term in its efforts to undermine our democracy. they were intended to sew discord. they werine intending to use th universe for a long time in the future. >> i want to ask you about something a source is the telling "vanity fair." saying steve bannon says there's only a 30% chance that trump finishes his full term. do you agree? >> i do. i've said this for months.

i don't think that president trump will complete his fo four-year term. and i am one of those who believes that it is incumbent on the vice president and a majority of members of the cabinet to assess the president's ability to do the job. and if necessary, to invoke the 25th amendment. >> which is what steve bannon is going to say is the reason for trump's being removed from office. not impeachment. thank you very much. next, the harvey weinstein investigation goes international. and the strange story of an american woman and her family captured by taliban group five years ago. they had children during that time, but released today. there are new questions about how their freedom was secured. p? what's critical thinking like? a basketball costs $14. what's team spirit worth?

major developments tonight involving harvey weinstein. rios mcgowan is tweeting he ra p ped her. nypd and scotland yard are peekipeek i speaking to women. jason carroll "outfront." >> i'm not doing okay. i got to get help. >> you know what, we all make mistake, second chance, i hope. okay. thanks, guys. you know what, i've always been loyal to you guys. not like those [ bleep ] treat you like [ bleep ]. i've been a good guy. >> harvey weinstein now asking for a second chance. this as another prominent actress has come forward alleging she, too, was

victimized by weinstein. kate beckinsale posted her experience saying when she was 17, she was invite today a hotel to meet with him. i was young and it did not cross my mind this this older, unattracted man would eck mekt exto have any sexual interest in him. after declining alcohol and saying i had school in the morning, i left uneasy, but unscathed. after the incident, she continued to reject his advances and as a result, she says her career suffered. her fate is the reason why hollywood nders say so many kept quiet for so long. they say for a time, weinstein could make or break anyone. >> you couldn't work in hollywood and not know the stories and the reputation. >> take gwyneth paltrow. came from a lineage family and

in the 1990s, she was dating brad pitt, but that didn't stop him. she told "the new york times" weinstein made sexual advances towards her when she was 22. pitt confronted weinstein. paltrow continued to work with him, winning an akcademy award for shakespeare in love under his then company, miri max. pitt worked with him for years. why? >> even brad pitt at the point when he was a marquee star, to stand up and say i'm not going to work with harvey weinstein would be damaging to his career. >> ben affleck now facing questions what about he knew about weinstein. he was key to affleck's rise to fame and cast him in good will hunting and reindeer games. affleck released a tamt saying what can i do to make sure this doesn't happen to others? rose mcgowan suggested affleck

did not about weinstein and that she had told him about her experience with him. affleck's spokesperson did not return our calls. >> this is a situation of power and influence and fear of reprisal. >> the casting couch, not a new concept. jane fonda says she found out about weinstein about a year ago and she's ashamed she did not speak out. >> it has happened to me. it has. i only met harvey when i was old. and harvey goes for young. because that's more vulnerable. you know. but it's very, very common. >> going forward, weinstein's legal fate still very much a question. the question many in hollywood are now facing is this the tipping point? is this the point when the culture of silence, silence out of fear or greed starts to change? one insider says one possible solution to the problem, more women in decision making positions. erin. >> jason, thank you very much.

a lot of industries, politics and on and doesn't ever seem to happen. brian and kim, kim, i want to start with you. you know harvey weinstein. you have known him for more than 20 years and you have tried to break this story. you had people who told you it happened, but they didn't want to go on the record. why was weinsteinweinstein prot so many people? >> for many years, he was at the absolute top of his game. bringing out one oscar magnet movie after another. i think example of gwyneth paltrow is very illuminating. she decided to be quiet and she deid end up with an as car. the alternative, especially if you were not as successful or well supported because she comes from a hollywood family was to challenge him and he would clearly try to destroy your career. he would have you investigated. i am assuming. he would hire a bah tall ontall

lawyers as he has now. you would be broke trying to fend off the lawyers and your career would be dead. so obviously given a choice, a lot of people decided to keep quiet and a are the of people, i'm assuming some heard the stories, but said he hasn't been, there's been no public accusation, he hasn't been convicted. i will say, i know one prominent film maker who told me several years ago, he had heard about that alleged attack on rose. told me he would never work with the weinsteins again. and he has not. >> which is interesting because that is people, you know, angelina jolie saying he told other actresses. people taking action in their own lives. not coming out publicly, but doing something. >> and rose today for the very first time is publicly accusing weinstein of rape. >> she's been hinting at this. she received a settlement from him 20 years ago, which normally

involves an nda keep iing her silent, but she decided to go ahead and speak out publicly. >> and take whatever that may entail in terms of the risk. kim, why are people coming forward now? why now in if they didn't for 20, 30 years, why now? >> i don't think it's a simple answer. i think part of it is that harvey is no longer at the peek of power and i wonder if we get allegations like this as we are, about people who are still in power, whether people would go on the record. harvey has said himself he suspects his brother of being part of o exposing this story, so he was possibly done in by from within his own company. and i think it's also the wake of all the allegations about bill kcosby, about fox news. silicon valley. i think and of course donald trump, who has ak nocknowledged own behavior. women are fed wup this and i think when they were contacted, they said you know what, i had a source today come out about another executive publicly and it had been months since she had

been hesitant and in the wake of this, she decided to go on the record for the first time about her own eck appearance with a different executive. >> i would encourage people to check all of kim's reporting because you have some big reporting you've been working on. brian, joe biden finally broke his silence on weinstein and said something significant. here's what he said. >> it's long past time. for the powerful men in hollywood to speak up. to be strong enough to say something because silence is complicity. >> and you have reporting on others in the company. >> and whether they were comply sit. that is the key question now. meanwhile, partners start iing back away from the company. they don't want anything to do with this shamed company. you know, harvey's brother, bob, has she mentioned, is now helpig run the company, but discretion

about whether he'll vsurvive this. if they department know, how the heck could they have mised this for so many years? we saw today, weinstein books was a thing. until today, that's disappeared. we see producers saying i want to take my movie away from the weinstein company, so bit by bit, this studio is crumbling. >> kim, he spoke to reporters, which we saw briefly. i want to play again part of what a he said. >> i'm not doing okay. trying. i got to get help. you know what, we all make mistakes. second chance. i hope. >> will he get a second chance, kim? >> no. this is a truly breathtaking fall from grace. from someone who was dominant for so many years. but hollywood is done with the weinstein name. it's toxic. they can change the name of the company. i think it will still have a residual effect. this is just a stunning thing and it's hollywood is really reel iing and can talk of nothi else.

new developments tonight and a big twist to the story of an

american woman and her family freed from a taliban linked group. now, they were in captivity for five years. we are learning tonight that after their daring rescue, the couple, who have three young children that were born while they were captive, declined a military flight back to the united states. barbara starr is "outfront" live at the pentagon tonight. barbara, this is a huge story and a huge mystery. what do we know about how u this family was rescued? >> well, this is the american woman, kaitlyn, her husband, joshua boyle, canadian and three children born in captivity. what apparently happened is u.s. intelligence began to notice movement yesterday of some vehicles in the border area of pakistan and afghanistan inside pakistan. they had reason to believe it was this family inside those vehicles being moved to a different location. they calleded the pakistanis. the pakistanis surprised the u.s. a little bit. went after them and got them

back. called the u.s. back and said, we have them. mr. boyle has spoken to his family, we're told, and has told them that they were in a vehicle when gunfire broke out. when they were finally let out of the vehicle by their rescuers, their five captors were dead. he had a slight shrapnel wound. and the u.s., the trump administration is thanking the pakistanis for getting these people back. this is a good development, erin. >> absolutely, it is. there are though you know, a mystery about what exactly happened here. we know obviously we can see the couple there. their three children were born while in captivity and we are learning if family refused to board a flight back to the united states and i know you're aware now of some questions about boyle's past. what can you tell us about this? >> well, it did get complicated. the u.s. military had an aircraft on stand by in pakistan to take them out, return them through afghanistan, either back through the united states or canada, but mr. boyle according
