people are going to have great success. talking about obviously north korea, enlisting a lot of help and countries. >> there was no collusion. there was no nothing. >> i'm a very intelligent person. >> one of the great memories of all-time. >> i don't remember much about that meeting. >> they should be looking at the democrats. they should be looking at

podesta and all of that dishonesty. a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including me. >> it's simply the scariest thing i've seen happen so far in this administration. >> surrogates from the trump campaign had communications with the russians. >> i did not and i'm not aware of anyone else that did. >> he's perjured himself at least three times. well, good morning to you and happy saturday. i'm christi paul. >> and i'm vick victor savage in for victor blackwell. and president trump is on a tour of asia. >> waking up in hawaii this morning, the president visited with military leaders there yesterday, and paid his respects at the memorial, you see him here with the first lady.

they laid a wreath to remembers those in lost their lives at pearl harbor. and problems he's facing in his administration including a russia investigation making its way a lot closer to the west wing, it seems. >> and former policy adviser for donald trump revealing new details in the investigation. he tells cnn multiple members of the campaign knew about his trip to russia where he met with a senior russian government official and page e-mailed to at least one campaign trump aide, according to the "new york times." >> with all of the new threads in the russia investigation overshadowing president trump's trip to asia, there is a question about how much can actually get done. will they distract the meetings with those foreign leaders? boris sanchez is live with us this morning. what are you hearing more? >> reporter: good morning, christi. the press scheduled to arrive in japan on sunday.

he'll spend several days there, meeting with president shinzo abe. the two are set to golf together. he'll be there until tuesday from what we understand. abe is going to introduce the president to several family members of japanese citizens that have been abducted by north korea. abe, of course, trying to shift japan away from a passivist stance to a much more aggressive one in response to aggression from north korea. as you know, twice this year the dprk fired missiles that sailed over the island of japan. on tuesday the president is supposed to visit south korea, the shortest stand of his trip there. one day there. questions about whether he would visit the dmz. from what we understand he will not be visited the demilitarized zone although he will hold talks with xi jinping, president of that country as well as speaking to the national assembly before heading to china, in bilateral

meetings with xi jinping and several cultural meetings before heading to vietnam where he is going to be speaking before the asia-pacific economic cooperation, economic leaders meeting, and talking about the united states vision for that region of the world. then later on in his trip, the president will head to vietnam, where he's going to be speaking to as asean conference before meeting with the controversial leader duterte. beyond that, as the president begins this trip, the backdrop is, of course, the russia investigation and all of the controversy surrounding that. the trickling of information coming from robert mueller's special probe and also dwindling approval numbers. you may see the president as he's in asia respond to things still unraveling here at home. christi? >> boris sanchez, appreciate the insight. thank you. that leads us to a lot of things to talk about. cnn political analyst and columnist for the "washington

post" is here, josh rogin, and laura barren lopez and cnn political commentator and former senior adviser to the trump campaign, jack kingston. good morning, everyone. >> good morning. >> jack, start with you. what's the president's frame of mind as he goes? we know certainly what's hanging over his head. is russia really in his thoughts as he heads off to asia? >> well, i think it's in his thoughts but he's also a leader who can compartmentalize and he's going to move on's i think he's far more concerned about north korea than he is about the so-called collusion allegations, but, you know, i think in terms of trying to address north korea with our allies, stepping up the sanctions, isolating them a little more diplomatically, isolating them from a trade stand it point, getting china onboard, that's what he's focusing on and beyond that, the trade with the specific area and

international property theft, things like that. he's got a full plate. by the way, this is the longest trip to that area of the region by a president of the united states since 1991. so it underscores america's commitment to the region. >> right. 12 days. and arguably it would allow him to sort of get out from under the cloud temporarily, but, josh, do you think he will? and can he keep his hands and voice away from twitter? >> i agree with everything the congressman said. this is an opportunity to do that. whether or not he does it, remains to the seen. after getting off the plane, first thing he did, tweet the sentence for army sergeant bowe bergdahl was a disgrace for the country and the military. so that's not a great start. what everyone's hoping is when he gets to the region and starts talking to these leaders he'll be singularly focused on that. he could get thrown off especially when asked about the

russia investigation. he tends to pop off and create new cycles within itself. a struggle for tove just focus on asia. xe xeno, enough. 12 days. a lot to discuss. the record shows because of media the focus and trump's lack of focus we're likely to get pulled back into all of the other distractions. >> jack's exactly right in the sense that north korea is such a threat, and a concern. it does need to be the focus of all this, but there are distractions and it's not just always the president. laura, i want to play for you carter page, what he said yesterday here on cnn. >> it was the only time i ever met him. one dinner together. >> sessions? >> yeah. it was great to meet you. glad i was able to meet you before i head to moscow. totally -- >> is he the only one on the campaign that knew about the trip? >> mentioned it to a few people. >> who else? >> it will come out. >> it will come out.

apparently it has come out. and the implication here is that carter page came back and told some members of the trump campaign he was having communications with the russians and some of the members said, no, i don't remember ever having any communication. how damaging is this, laura? >> one of those people is former senator jeff sessions. a current attorney general. and so it wouldn't be surprising if members of congress say they want sessions to come back and testify again. given the fact that the first time he said that he wasn't aware of any campaign officials having communications with russian officials. so, you know, as we see mueller's investigation, we only expect it to ramp up more. more information is going to continue to trickle out, and so, again it is going to be very difficult for the president to stay on message while he's in asia. >> jack, i want to sort of bring you back here. you were, of course, an adviser for the trump campaign and i

want to get your reaction to what carter page said. do you see it as truly a problem for the administration or is this just a person whose stories seem to wander all over the place? >> i really don't and i would unvit cnn watchers to go back on youtube and watch anderson cooper's interview with carter page several months ago. he absolutely, martin, in your words, was all over the place. i know he has never met the president of the united states. the dinner with sessions is curious to me because i've known jeff sessions many years and it's very hard to get a dinner with him. i just don't -- he could have been in a room with 100 people. i've heard a lot of people in washington say, oh, yeah. i met somebody. which means they were in a receiving line with 30 other people and had a three-second photo op and are claiming credit for knowing somebody or interacting with them. i'm glad he clarified, there was something in passing and he was on his way to moscow but i don't believe he was ever used by the

trump campaign as a conduit for russia or any other country or matter of importance, because he was not that involved in the campaign. he was in that series of volunteers where they were looking for people who may have known something or stepped forward, and so, you know, i want to give him credit for that, but he never met the president. >> right. let me bring in laura to ask about this. we know congressional democrats want to bring this up, talk to jeff sessions again as a result of what carter has said. and yet it's like, is this guy really the most reliable witness? when he can't seem to get his story correct? >> well, that's right. i mean, you know, you have to take all of the factors into play here, but that doesn't mean, though, that congressional democrats don't want to bring sessions back, you know. we just heard yesterday one of the democrats saying that they are pretty positive that he perjured himself. of course, you know -- that remains to be seen. whether or not sessions did do that, and, again, there's a lot

of moving parts here that not only congressional investigators are looking at, but, of course, mueller. >> i just think it's important here to point out that carter page disclosed these meetings, both of them, with, over a year ago. all right? nothing is really new in what he said this week. it's new that he said it to the house intelligence committee. but we already knew he went to moscow. we already knew he had met with, briefed trump administration officials on this. we didn't know about that sessions detail, again, sort of a mention in passing. but you know, this is sort of, not an example of carter page being all over the place. it's an example of the same sort of facts coming over and over again in a different context. i think there's a lot of sort of like shock at what carter page said, but if you look at the record especially at what he's been saying for months and even as early as last september you'll find very clearly that carter page has been largely consistent, although somewhat at times inco-around about what he did in russia and why he did it.

>> largely inconsistent and sometimes incoherent. thanks very much. thank you to you all. wish we had more time. that's all we got for today. thanks. take you live to tokyo, japan, where the president is making his first stop on his asia tour. tensions, as you know, expected to dominate the president's meetings with world leaders. will anything significant and substantial be decided? plus, republicans release the details of their tax reform bill. who are the winners and who are the losers? we'll take a look at all of that coming up next.

the jobs gains across the board we should point out. there was a wage growth gap that took a step back. >> and republicans say their new tax cuts bill will generate even more jobs. cnn chief business chief christine romans looks at who wins and who loses under the jobs tax cut. >> this is branded as a tax cut for the middle class. let's start there. what this means for average americans. it cuts the number of tax brackets from seven to four here. simplifying that, couples making up to $90,000 a year, individuals making up to $45,000 pay a 12% tax rate. then 25% and 35% as incomes rise. the plan keeps the top rate at 39.6% for families making more than $1 million a year. the bill also nearly doubles the standard deduction. s 12ds,000 for single filers, $24,000 for curbouples, the ide

fewer claim deductions and personalizes fewer deductions hurting people with three or more kids. goodsies for the middle class. the plan increased child tax credit to $1,600 and $300 tax credit for non-dependent children and who are the winners and losers? corporations are the big winners. the bill lowers the corporate tax rate all the way down to 20% from 35%. the ultra rich, big winners. this bill repeals the estate tax by 2024 and doubles the exemption before that. and repeals the amt, another plus for wealthy tax payers. no everyone who pays that is super rich. and people in high-tax states. no more local or state income or sales tax and deduct property up to $10,000.

home builders, stocks fell. new home purchases, mortgage deduction cut in half to $500,000. >> let's unpack what that means. with us, cnn's josh rogin, laura barron lopez and jack kingston. thank you all for being with us. josh, first of all, how likely is it that this thing's going to pass by year's end? >> the chances are slim to none. okay? there's eight legislative days in the house before thanksgiving. you know, all of those issues that christine just laid out, what that means is that each of those issues has a lobbying and constituency and a group that will have a group of lawmakers fighting against it. this has got to go through twists and turns. remember, the last time they tried to do it, it took three years. now they're trying to do it in, what, a month?

and only talking about the senate, they can only lose two votes and many more than two senatorsy trying to get what they want by sticking to that vote. i really think it's an exercise in sort of intellectual curiosity that eventually will amount to nothing and that's going to be a huge problem for the white house, especially for congressional republicans heading into re-election years. >> what do you think is vulnerable to being changed? >> state and local tax deductions a number of states, blue states, new york, new jersey, california, they're not happy about. i would be really surprised if elements of that don't change. you know, there's also, as josh said on the senate side, a whole other host of issues that senate republicans, you know, certain ones -- that they're not happy with that has to do with people like bob corker. who are saying they want to hold firm on this not increasing the

deficit, which this tax plan would do. >> and jack, one of the things that stands out to people is the cap on deductions. $500,000 mortgage interest deductions. is there a risk that could up-end the real estate market as it is now? >> i don't think so, but i think that it is there, i think there may be room for adjustment as that goes through the process. i look forward to that happening more in the senate than the house. but i think overall, when you're talking about a substantial middle class tax cut and a lower corporate rate, then you are going have job growth. you're going to have economic prosperity and i think that offsets some of the losses that people are going to have. i want to point out, though, this is for people who are upper income. so if you look at, say, the average home price in the state of arkansas, it might be something like $124,000. so you have entire states that would not even be affected by that. now, if you are were new york and in california, and other spotted areas and cities where you have a lot of high mortgage rates, or, you know, high income

people with big houses, that's a different matter, but i do want to point out something very, very important. when we're talking about the senate and the state and local taxes, those are all blue state senators who will not vote for the tax bill anyway and are anti-trump on top of that. if you're saying we're going to lose senate support from new york and california and maryland, you know, kind of so what? it doesn't change the passability of the measure. i'm not addressing anything but, can you pass the bill on this, and, but i think that people will be looking at the home mortgage deductions as it goes through the process. >> here's the question, laura. if this does not pass, what does that mean for this administration? >> well, it definitely isn't a good sign for the administration. i mean, we could be entering december with no substantial win for trump or republicans. because, you know, again, going back to aca, something they haven't been able to accomplish. moving on to tax reform. if they aren't able to pass this they're going to enter december,

which we're expecting a really big fight with democrats, between democrats and republicans, over, you know, the year-end spending bill and democrats want big things, such as daca. you know, they also -- and they valuate of leverage. i mean, it's very difficult for ryan to whip his entire house, all of the house members into line. >> jack, we did talk about the -- the jobs report. sarah sanders came out yesterday saying nearly 1.5 million new jobs since the president took office including over 260,000 last month. it's clear his agenda is putting americans back to work. laura just mentioned, there hasn't been any policy passed. so what agenda is she referring to there? >> well, he has through executive -- >> not taking away the success of, the economy and the market right now. >> well, i think a lot of this is because of the regulatory change. a lot of these things are under control of bureaucratic interpretation and executive orders and the president has rolled back job-killing

regulations that have made a big difference. as you pointed out, it's not just the lowest unemployment rate in 17 years but the highest stock market, i think in history. $23,000 with $5 trillion new in the economy since the president has been sworn in. lots of good things are happening, optimism is up and i agree with laura. people want this tax cut, the business community and economy are counting on this tax cut. republicans have to have it. it's got to be a win. i think they learned a lot of lessons through the non-repeal and replace, and i believe that they're going to get this tax bill. i disagree with my friend josh. the house will move this thing i think as early as next week and will be passed out of the house by thanksgiving. i'm very confident. now, the u.s. senate, anybody's guess. we all know that. >> that could be another -- yeah, you're right. thanks to you all. appreciate you all. thank you. >> thanks. >> thank you. both bush presidents are now speaking freely in a new book. one calls donald trump a blow hard the other says the current

president doesn't know what it means to hold that office. season once again. >>yeah. lot of tech companies are reporting today. and, how's it looking? >>i don't know. there's so many opinions out there, it's hard to make sense of it all. well, victor, do you have something for him? >>check this out. td ameritrade aggregates thousands of earnings estimates into a single data point. that way you can keep your eyes on the big picture. >>huh. feel better? >>much better. yeah, me too. wow, you really did a number on this thing. >>sorry about that. that's alright. i got a box of 'em. thousands of opinions. one estimate. the earnings tool from td ameritrade. you or joints. something for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide.

concerned, because he saw this populism of donald trump getting in the way of america's position in the world. >> reporter: he gave you rare insight, though, into his criticism of donald trump. what did he tell you? >> one of the things he said was, that one of the hallmarks of great leadership is humility's so when donald trump said, i am my own adviser, bush thought, and this is a quote, "wow. this guy doesn't know what it means to be president." >> reporter: what was his tone when he talked to you about trump? >> i think it was restrained. the bushes are very restrained. and i also think that they -- they realize, they have a role to play as former presidents. and they have to be restrained. they have to be dignifiedignifi >> reporter: he weighed his words? >> i think he did, yes. >> reporter: president bush 41 was a bit blunter. he said that he thought donald trump it "a certain ego," and then he told you point blank --

>> he's a blowhard. he's a blowhard. and -- he said, i don't like him. plain and simple. and i'm not excited about him being a leader, was his quote. and if you look at the bush family, it makes perfect sense. donald trump is everything that the bush family is not. george bush grew up thinking about the greater good. donald trump, i think, is manifestly narcissistic. it's part of his brand. and that brand is the antithesis of the bush brand. >> reporter: how do you think these two men feel that donald trump is now the standard bearer of the republican party? >> i think it's pretty clear if you look at their records, their views politically, that i'm going to quote george h.w. bush. they're not excited about donald trump being our leader. that's not a, that's not a leap of faith. that's pretty clear. i think the most clear demonstration we get of that

recently is charleston. the bushes came out with a joint tweet, which they had never done in the past. condemning bigotry and anti-semitism and all the things on display in charlottesville among the white supremacists. the bushes came out with that joint statement. i think that spoke resoundingly about the void in leadership that they were seeing from the white house. >> there are a lot of quotes from the bushes that are going to make news in -- in this book. bush 43 talks about whether vice president dick cheney had played an outsized role in his presidency. something that gets talked about all the time. was dick cheney too powerful? and bush 43 told you -- >> well, he was talking about the neoconservatives in general and specifically about cheney and rumsfeld, and he said, and i quote, "chanie and rumsfeld

never made one [ bleep ] decision." >> reporter: that's the quote? >> that's the quote. i understand his frustration, because at the time there was the perception that dick cheney was the acting president, but, in fact, george w. bush had had a lifetime of making bold decisions. he has this natural confidence in himself as a leader. if you talk to those around him, they have confidence in his leadership. and so this notion that cheney was making the decisions is ludicrous. >> reporter: when you started to write this book, let me guess. the title was not "the blast republic -- "the last republicans." >> when i set out to write this it was a very different time, 2013. "the last republicans" became the right title behind what has become the trump era. >> reporter: because? >> george bush said in 2016 privately and to me, i fear i'll be the last republican president. >> reporter: he confirmed that

to you? >> he confirmed that to me, and it wasn't just about hillary clinton becoming president. it was because donald trump represented everything that the bush bushes abhorred. >> i'll never forget president bush 43 coming out and saying i will never say anything about or criticize a sitting president, because i know what that feels like, and i'm not going to do that. >> times have changed, as has been pointed out. cnn special correspondent jamie gangel joins us this morning. fascinating conversation with the author. does it surprise you to hear the bushes weigh in as they have now? >> so a little bit, because they have, as christi just said, they've gone to great lengths not to criticize him publicly. on the other hand, this is not a surprise. we know that neither one of them voted for him. we've heard these comments that they've said to other people

privately, and i think what's key here is also some of the timing of these interviews. it's coming out now, but a lot of the research and the interviews that were done were during the campaign. so in fairness, this is not -- it's coming out now, that he's president, but a lot of this was said before he was president. >> did he talk much about their conversation regarding the election and who they voted for? because that part was quite interesting for anybody, especially in their position, to come out and say, i didn't vote for the republican nominee, this is who i voted for? >> right. so we've heard a little bit about this before, and we confirmed that former president bush 41, the father, had voted for hillary clinton. he did vote for hillary clinton. and then what his son did was, he voted for none of the above

at the top of the ballot, and then he voted for republicans down ballot. it's still astonishing to hear it. these are the last two republican presidents, and they did not vote for the republican, for both of them, that was the first time. so it's -- it is quite astonishing still. >> i have to ask you, you know, the other stuff they were talking about, which is vice president dick cheney, the influence he had or did not have. the pushback from george w. bush was, emphatic. in fact, he swore. did the author hit a nerve here? >> absolutely, martin. he must have, because this is not a new question that bush 43 has gotten. he's been asked repeatedly about it. he's written tab in his own books. so clear lly he got a little rid up, but he also says in the

book, that it "blows his mind" that people think that he wasn't the president, and in the book and in other places we've seen both his mother and father say that they thought dick cheney may have had too much influence on him. >> hmm. all right. jamie gangel. so interesting. thank you for sharing this interview. >> thank you. president trump, meanwhile, the man we've just been talking about indirectly, heads to japan in a few hours. his first visit comes in a time of great tension with north korea. can he convince the asians to unite against north korea? and can he convince others while visiting. and we covered it, july first, twenty-fifteen.

president trump will land later on this afternoon in japan. the first leg of his asia tour and looking to talk about tensions running high over unusual check missile threats. >> meantime, b-1 bombers accompanied by other jets are conducting flyover drills over the korean peninsula. the big question is, will kim jong-un test the president while he's next door? so close to kim jong-un's territory, of course. alexandra? >> reporter: christi, certainly the idea of that is wildly provocative. i wouldn't gamble on what north korea would do and when they would do it but here's why there's reason, at least to suspect that at the very least they could pull off a provocative action. this is a regime that uses moments of major international importance like the u.s. presidential visit to the region for their most provocative

actions to garner the world's attention. they've pulled out of an unprecedented 22 missile launches this year, their sixth and most powerful nuclear test, threatened the u.s. territory of guam and send two missiles over the island of hokkaido. they sade the underground tunnel at the main nuclear test site is ready for another nuclear test. what do we make of all that? the fact preparations are being made, they could be ready for these provocative actions doesn't indicate a willingness to launch at this time, we know things happen at the command of their leader, kim jong-un and they are well aware they are watched all the time by satellites and these opportunities to make certain movements, to suggest certain signals to the international community can be shows of

strength or attempts to show strength from the regime itself. not entirely different from, say, the buildup of u.s. military assets that you've seen in the region in the days and weeks prior to the visit from president trump. don't forget, we've seen a war of words now between north korea and washington, d.c. for months. you have also seen these alternating shows of strength and a lobbing of threats back and forth. very tense times for the backdrop of this most important and critical visit of president trump to the region now. >> no doubt about it. alexandra field, thank you for the update. >> joining me to discuss further, josh rogin and author and columnist gordon chang. good morning to both of you. >> good morning, gordon, start . what is in your mind that north korea will test a missile or do something provocative while the president is visiting the

region? >> i think it's more likely than not. kim jong-un has been quiet recently and the last missile test was september 15th. this was a quiet period in the run-up to the communist party's 19th congress in china and actually i think that what happened is that the chinese told the north koreans not to do anything provocative. now you have trump coming to the region. he's probably going to confront china in beijing and i'm sure the chinese would like to knock him a little on his heels. i think essentially there be something provocative. we don't know exactly what it will be. i think it will be a missile launch but we'll have to wait, because at this point, trump has upped the stakes with his warrior nation comment about japan. a direct message to china. the chinese are going to do something to knock trump back on his heels as well. >> all right. then we would have to wonder what the president would do or how he would react.

josh, your most recent piece said nobody, not even congress could stop trump from going after china, but pushing other democrats requiring trump to obtain congressional authorization before striking north korea. how realistic is it that that legislation will be passed? >> there's no chance that that legislation will be passed. it's simply a marker for democrats to say they're concerned. that president trump might engage in military action against north korea without going through congressional authorization process, and maybe in a preventive way, which is to say before north korea signals it will strike the united states, much less strike the united states. it's a night mayor scenario not just for the u.s. but for our allies, japan and especially south korea and as we talk about all the tensions, there's a risk of miscalculation here. i just think, you know, it's incumbent upon all sides to sort of take any provocation from any

side in a matter that doesn't contribute to an escalation that could lead us to a military confrontation nobody wants to see. >> josh, how real are these threats that the president makes? >> i believe that the president mean what's he says. that doesn't indicate what he's going to do. when he says he doesn't intend to permit north korea to obtain the capability to hit the united states with an icbm, a nuclear tipped warhead, i think he means that. does that mean he's going to strike as soon as they get that capability? nobody knows. it's that inpredictability the president believes is an asset, believing his unpredictability can encourage actors especially china to do things they don't want to do, but for our allies, that unpredictability is a liability, because it hurts their ability to plan and assurance to know what will happen in that inevitable

scenario. whether or not kim jong-un tests something or does something provocative while trump is in the region, he will continue testing, he must continue testing. he's trying to get to a goal here. the provocationless come, whether this week, next week, next month. how we deal with that will determine a lot about what happens in the region going forward. >> gordon, i was surprised to hear you say china might actually want something from north korea as far as a provocative act in the hopes of pushing the president back on his heels. yet this is the same nation we're hoping will calm things down for us? >> yes. i think we have sort of misperceived chinese intentions. china supplied north korea with critical equipment for its missile program and a continuous supply of components and equipment and materiels with the nuclear weapon effort. in a good sense beijing weaponized north korea. look at the chinese banks laundering money for the north

koreans, it's clear what china's intentions are. while they were holding its 19th congress is an indication the chinese in fact control the north koreans and president trump has to confront that in beijing, because this is going to be the critical issue. as josh said, he has actually put a public marker saying that he will not allow the north koreans to develop this capability. well, if he's going to be as good as his word, he's got to have some very effective diplomacy with beijing, which will be more coercive than cooperative. >> why we worry about distractions of domestic players back at home. thank you both for your insights. >> thank you. >> thank you. so how far will new zealand go to protect its wildlife? how about dropping poison from the sky? yes. up next, bill ware explores how that option could end up being a reality. hey, man. oh! nice man cave! nacho?

scope it's been called new zealand's apolo project. that is, wipe out every rat, mouse, possum, weasel. hundreds of predatory mammals by 2050 and to pull it off, they have to spread millions of tons of poison all over this incredibly beautiful country. about as much as wkiwis love th kiwi, not everyone thinks this is a good idea. >> do not miss the "wonder list" with bill waeir, 9:00 eastern tonight on cnn. >> that is it for us. see you back here tonight at 10:00 a.m. for "cnn newsroom." stay close. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew.
