hi there, i'm brianna keilar in for wolf blitzer. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you for joining us. he either forgot or hopes we did. today, president trump contradicting himself on the reason why he fired former fbi director james comey. he tweeted this morning, slippery james comey, the worst fbi director in history, was not fired because of the phony

russia investigation, whereby the way there was no collusion except by the dems, but here's the thing, the president said the exact opposite in an interview that was nationally televised last year. here's a reminder. >> knowing there was no good time to do it. and in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made-up story. it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. >> cnn white house reporter caitlin collins is in west palm beach near the president's mar-a-lago estate. comey is reacting to the president's tweet this morning. what did he say? >> reporter: he certainly is. he's been on this publicity tour for his new book that challenges the president very publicly, and today when he was asked about the president's tweet that comey

wasn't fired because of the russia investigation, he said that doesn't scare with what the president himself said. >> i've seen the tweet. both of those things can't be true. i think that illustrates part of the problem that i'm trying to bring up, that it matters that the president is not committed to the truth as a central american value. so i don't know what to make of it. when he tweets i should be in jail, my honest reaction is a shrug like, there's another one of those. then i stop myself and say, there's danger in my shrug, because that means i'm becoming numb to the fact that the president of the united states of america is saying that the private citizen should be in jail. that's not okay. that is not normal. >> reporter: but it's not just the president contradicting the president here after what he said in that lester holt interview. it's several other things that is surrounding james comey's firing nearly a year ago that showed why he fired james comey and it wasn't because of that

memo written by the attorney general and the deputy attorney general like the white house maintained before the president admitted to lester holt. but we know at the time that planning the firing for james comey is something that white house aides had been doing for days, as well as what the president told the russian officials the next day, that firing comey had relieved pressure from the russia investigation on him, as well. but you might ask the question, why is the president tweet thing a year after he fired james comey? i think it's important to remind viewers that the special counsel robert mueller is interested in talking to the president about the firing of james comey and what it had to do with the russia investigation. >> thank you so much for that. joining me now, we have gloria borger and david gregory with us, as well. you wrote a piece called "the run away president." what are your sources right now telling you about where his mind is in all of this?

>> they're saying that he's completely unmanageable. he's told our colleague -- one source told pamela brown that he's apapletic over the michael cohen raid. i've been told some of his friends have never seen him like this before. that he doesn't listen to him, that not only does he believe he's running every piece of policy, but he's also running his legal team. so he's now the lawyer in chief, as well as the commander in chief. and there are people who are honestly quite worried about it, because he's just not listening to anyone. and i don't think there's anybody inside the white house right now, maybe save his family, that he regards as anyone he needs to listen to. >> so a lot of people alarmed. but some folks that perhaps he should be listening to, or maybe he's sick of listening to,

david, is his legal team. right now they're in negotiation with the special counsel. they're talking about the president, is he going to testify? what will the parameters oh of that be? how did they react when the president tweets things like this? >> well, not well. he's clearly unmanageable and has been in this investigation from the beginning. there's these two impulses. you see it may out on the sean hannity piece of this story, which is donald trump has a gut sense of how to attack everyone coming at him. and to attack mueller, to attack the -- this investigation as being beyond the scope. so sure, he worries about the stuff with his own lawyer, because if they're seeking to pierce attorney/client privilege or find out where it doesn't apply, this gets into areas about potential payoffs to porn stashes and other elicit relationships that he was trying to keep quiet. this is obviously scandalous for him. he doesn't want this stuff known. and he considers it to be part

of what's illegitimate about this whole investigation. so he finds it very difficult to stop jabbing at that. and just be channeled and be circumspect to how he avoids jeopardy here legally. i think his instincts tell him that ultimately he's got to do this himself. that's where he gets in trouble. >> originally he was saying yeah, i'll testify. i'll sit down with bob mueller. i don't think he was kidding around. i think that's what he was telling his lawyers. now he's changed. he's like, why would i do that? i will not sit down with this guy. and his lawyers are pretty happy about that, because they didn't want him to sit down with him any way. but there has been a shift. >> he has also shown a change in a different way, which is less discipline when it comes to stormy daniels. he had been largely silent when it came to her. but then he tweeted about her

and the sketch that she released of the man who she said threatened her basically when it came to the trump situation, about this alleged affair with him. he wrote -- >> then that prompted this response from daniels' attorney. he said -- >> why is he weighing in now? >> because going back to what we were talking about originally, he can't control himself on this. he's very upset. stormy daniels' attorney is sort of outtrumping trump in certain ways. >> by the way, why did it take him so long to produce this

sketch? they had a deal that she violated. so this whole thing, it's fine for us to kind of play it out in the news media. but there's potentially legal problems on both sides of this. but i do think the president has got on the a point where he is -- whether someone has unleashed him or maybe he thought michael cohen had this under control, so he staid let me stay away from it. i think there's a realization for trump that the danger in all of this is not just what's on its face, but it could somehow become part of what mueller investigates. we've seen this movie before with the clinton impeachment. >> it could be more dangerous. what he's doing is leaving bed crumbs every single day, dropping them. and the lawyers are saying to trump, don't respond. don't talk about it. >> because the power in the counterpunch is also knowing when not to use it. thank you to both of you. a top secret visit to north

korea now revealed. former defense secretary leon panetta will joining me next to discuss the details on mike pompeo's trip to the rogue nation as they lay the ground work for talks. a public feud between the white house and nikki haley, and new details ohhen that deadly southwest flight, as passengers relive the horror at 30,000 feet. the powerful backing of american express. don't live life without it. the powerful backing of american express. a few problems actually. we're overproducing, overcrowding, and overheating. we've got aging roadways, aging power grids, ...aging everything. you're kinda bumming me out clive owen. no, wait... it gets worse. we also have the age-old problem of bias in the workplace. really... never heard of it. seriously? it's all over the news. i've heard of it.

ahh. the question is... who's going to fix all of this? an actor? probably not. but you know who can solve it? business. that's right. the best-run businesses can make the world run better. because solving big problems is what business does best. and doing good is just good business. shhh! sorry. so let's grow more food, with less water. and make healthcare, more healthy. it's okay, i've played a doctor. what have we got here? let's take on the wage gap, the opportunity gap, the achievement gap. together, we can tackle every elephant in the room. and save the rhino while we're at it. because, whatever the problem, business can help. and i know who can help them do it... i had a very minor fender bender tonight! in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part.

like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. i had a doctor's appointment. when you said you were at the doctor, but your shirt says you were at a steakhouse... that's when you know it's half-washed. now from downy fabric conditioner comes downy odor protect with 24-hour odor protection. downy's powerful formula conditions fibers to lock out odors all day. hey, your shirt's making me hungry. ha ha, derek. downy and it's done.

de-nuclearization will be a great thing for world, but also for north korea. the pompeo trip is a prelude to the planned face-to-face meeting with president trump and the north korean leader. >> we will probably be, depending on the various meetings and conversations, we'll be having meetings with kim jong-un very soon. it will be -- that will be taking place probably in early june or before that. assuming things go well. it's possible things won't go well and we won't have the meeting. >> i want to bring in john kirby, our cnn military and diplomatic analyst. so fill us in on what we have learned about mike pompeo's trip and also the implications of this trip. >> sure. what was the most senior u.s. visit to pyongyang since madeiline albright when in 2000 when she was secretary of state for president clinton, we have a framework being laid for a kim

jong-un/president trump summit for may or june. president trump said the meeting went well, they formed a great relationship. kim jong-un said he's willing to talk about de-nuclearization. we don't know exactly what that means, but president trump said he came away from this whole setting figuring out that there's about five locations where the summit might occur. so let's take a look at some of the possibilities. we don't know what cities, but we can take an educated guess based on what types of venues might be available. first, these are not going to be politically viable to meet on the home turf for the other. so we can dismiss that as the most, least likely. what about china, russia, japan, south korea, you could do it there. china and russia would love nothing more to be the mediating influence between the united states and north korea, to boost their influence in the region. that is why i think either of

those options are probably not going to be attractive to president trump. it's very unlikely that kim jong-un will want to go to japan or south korea, as well. so none of these options are going to be very likely either. what about, though, on the de-militarized zone? neutral territory, very safe and secure. not very far from pyongyang. but the downside is that's where kim is going to meet with president moon of south korea in just a couple of weeks. it's not likely, i think, that president trump is going to want to repeat that venue, being the showman that he is, but i would keep an eye on it. that leaves with us neutral or third party countries, easter in the region, in asia, or in europe. let's take a look at some of the asian options. you've got singapore or bangkok, thailand. both countries have diplomatic relations with the u.s. and north korea. it could be a very good option there. but mongolia, the president of

mongolia said he would be more than happy to host the summit between kim and trump. and it's an accessible train ride from pyongyang. but more than likely, we're probably talking about somewhere in europe. there arement men plenty of opt. lots of great cities here that have long histories and track records of hosting diplomatic engagements. it would require longer travel for kim jong-un. but they're very well equipped to host this kind of meeting. i would be looking at stockholm, the protecting power for the united states and north korea. they handle our counsel affairs. they were responsible for helping us release otto warmbier in the summer. i would be looking at somewhere in the region or europe. >> thank you for taking us through all of those, we

appreciate it. joining me now is leon panetta, the former defense secretary and cia director under president obama. thank you for being with us today. >> nice to be with you. >> what is your reaction to this revelation that the cia director, mike pompeo, met secretly with kim jong-un? >> i think it's a very important step to take. i was a little concerned when the president agreed to the summit without very much planning or preparation. and in a short time from time to time, it's a little bit of concern as to whether or not you can lay the ground work for that kind of high level summit. the fact that you now have director pompeo meeting with kim indicates that they are discussing, hopefully, some of the key negotiating terms that would be part of a summit between kim and president trump. >> what did you think about the fact that he went with just intelligence officials? it sounds like you feel like the

ground work is being laid. maybe not enough? i would be curious to see what you had to say about this, but how he executed this. intel officials, no one from the state department. >> well, the problem is, there's not much happening at the state department. we don't have a secretary of state. a lot of those positions are untilled. but more importantly, he has trust in mike pompeo. mike pompeo, from an intelligence point of view, has probably the best perspective on kim and north korea. so he was prepared, i'm sure, to be able to sit down. i think the real question now is, where does it go from here? because there has to be extremely careful preparations made for this kind of high level summit. there's got to be a discussion about what are the terms that are going to be negotiated. what is it that we want kim -- from kim in terms of de-nuclearization, missile

development, nuclear development? and what are we prepared to give in return. i think it's very important to lay out those terms, because what you don't want to do is keep giving kim things that he wants without getting something back in return. >> he so clearly wants the u.s. presence in the region to be gone, right? that seems to be a key point to him as a trade for perhaps de-nuclearization. but that seems so unrealistic. what do you think? >> i don't think there's any question that the united states is just not going to pick up and leave that region in terms of our relationship with south korea, with japan, and with our other allies in the pacific. so that obviously is going to be one of the areas that we've got to sit down and decide how far we're prepared to go. in return for north korea taking

some very clear steps at de-nuclearization, that's not going to be easy. this is a very, very tough object tich. it's going to require inspections, the kind of verification to make sure that they're doing what they say they're doing. and they've never quite agreed to that in the past. so there are a lot of very heavy issues here that are going to have to be worked out. i'm not sure all of this can be done before a summit. so i'm looking at a summit that may be laying some framework for discussions. but the hard negotiations are going to have to take place afterwards. >> i want to turn now and talk about air strikes on syria with you. on this program, senator rand paul said about the reported chemical attack that led to the strikes, he said this. >> i still look at the attack and say, assad either must be the dumbest dictator on the planet or maybe he didn't do it. i have jet yet to see evidence

did do it. does it make any sense? he's been winning the war for the last couple of years. the only thing that would gal van ize the world to attack assad directly is a chemical attack. >> so he's raising the question whether the assad regime would be stupid enough to go and do this, because it is the red line for president trump. was there a need to better verify this information before the administration went on with air strikes? >> well, from all of the indications, there clearly was some kind of evidence that, in fact, this kind of chemical attack did take place. obviously, syria and russia are putting up barriers to trying to in fact verify that. you have to ask yourself the question, why are they doing that? in addition to that, assad has continued to use chemical

weapons. this is nothing new. we've seen him use these kinds of attacks in the past. and so from all of that, it would appear that, indeed, this military strike, i believe, was justified. >> i want to ask you about james comey. he's been doing a series of interviews, which i'm sure that you have caught. this has to do with his new book. and he says that it's possible that the russians have something, that they have something incriminating on president trump. there's also the former director of national intelligence james clapper who said this about the same subject to wolf. >> it certainly is a possibility, and this is in the russian's genes, if they can co-opt somebody, with ea-- but don't know, just as jim doesn't, whether that's the case. >> do you share that opinion, just that it is possible that russia has something

incriminating on president trump? >> you know, i get very concerned about talking about possibilities. that's all kinds of possibilities as to what could or could not be the case. i'm more interested in what, in fact, is the truth. and to determine that, i think bob mueller and his investigation is going to hook -- look at that issue and determine whether or not that is the case. i'm not sure it helps just to speculate as to what could or could not be the problem. >> do you think comey is inappropriate in speculating? >> you know, he can give his opinion. this is a free country, and i'm sure other also give their opinions. that's the nature of a free society. but i do think when it comes to the issue of whether or not this president is being held hostage in some way by the russians, that's something we are going to have to determine by the kind of

investigation that bob mueller is running. >> leon panetta, thank you so much, former cia director, former defense secretary. we really appreciate your time. >> thank you. coming up, blame nikki haley. that seemed to be the consensus after the administration's plans for russia sanctions got muddled. plus, nearly taken out of an airplane window into the sky, and then pulled back into the plane. passengers recalling the deadly southwest flight. stay with us. rst thing they askd was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life.

announcing those on monday, if he hasn't already. >> so then monday comes, and the white house said that no new sanctions were coming. then tuesday, the president's new chief economic adviser larry kudlow said this about haley. >> she got ahead of the curb. she's done a great job. she's a very effective ambassador. there might have been some momentary confusion about that. >> ambassador haley fired back, "with all due respect, i don't get confused." kudlow later called nikki haley to tell her that the policy had changed without her knowledge and that he hadn't been kept in the loop. i want to bring back my panel, gloria borger and david gregory. gloria, it seems like the administration threw nikki haley under the bus here. >> completely and totally threw her under the bus. i think larry kudlow, whether he meant to or not, was m mansplaining her and disrespectful to her. if she had been out of the loop,

by the way, she should not have been out of the loop. >> to be on the sunday shows. >> to be on the sunday shows of all things. we all know this. people get briefed. these are your talking points for your sunday shows. this is what we want you to say. so she was clearly saying what she thought was administration policy, and was not confused and it seems to me the administration was confused because maybe the president was confused about what he wanted to do. >> what do you think? >> i think it's a lot of bumbling, and then kudlow came off as a real jerk in saying that. to his credit, he apologized rather quickly, because he sounds ridiculous in that. and i think -- look, there's so many perm utations. the president may have been out of the loop, the timing may have been wrong. there's lots of possibilities where they didn't have their act together on this. and the backdrop is always suspicious, because you wonder

whether the president has his heart in anything that's critical of russia. >> that's really at the heart of it, because if you step aside from the feud, this has to do with why the president might pull back or pull a punch when it comes to russia. that is really the issue. >> there's a couple of things. there's a more benign way. with regard to syria, we don't want to provoke russia where you could have escalation. what i fear is that he cannot allow himself to get to the place where he sees russia as the threat, or else that somehow that is giving up too much on the idea that they meddled to the extent they did in the election. >> my question is, "the washington post" has reported that the president watches on television and got upset, that -- what nikki haley had said. so the question is, was the president out of the loop? i don't know the answer to that question. i hope the answer to that question is no, of course the president wasn't out of the

loop. but this is what happens, things unravel all the time in this white house because there's a lack of communication among the key policy advisers who are making these decisions. >> kudlow is the new player here. this is one area where there is obviously tension between tillerson and haley. but she seems to be a highly regarded and senior member of this national security team. and so this seemed like a discordant note. >> and her notion that she had to fight back. i mean, her taking kudlow on. >> she felt clearly like she lost some strength in this. she's sort of reasserting her position. >> she had to defend herself by saying, i know what i'm talking about. you got this wrong. so the notion that she publicly did that, i think that it's important to pay attention to.

fired fbi director james comey mocks president trump over his twitter habits. comey is on a publicity tour for his new book, and on the hate show, he compared the

president's tweets answer him to a bad breakup. >> he's tweeted at me probably 50 times. i've been gone for a year. i'm like a breakup he can't get over. he wakes up in the morning -- [ applause ] >> wow. >> i'm out there living by best life. he wakes up in the morning and tweets at me. >> joining us now from capitol hill is republican congressman chris stewart of utah, a member of the house intelligence committee. so that was one of the more light hearted comments by james comey. but he has raised some serious questions, as you know, about the president, about his fitness to lead. do you think overall, whether it's these quips or it's these serious issues and concerns that he's raising, do you think that jim comey is acting appropriately? >> i defended jim comey for many years, until about a year ago. i thought he was a successful

fbi director. i don't necessarily change my opinion on that now, but i think he's trying to sell a bunch of books. i think it does deminish the role that he plays as a former fbi director. president trump is a political animal to his core, we get that. but the director of the fbi shouldn't be. i think we expect something a little different from them. i think it's unfortunate that it's devolved into this tit for tat like we've seen from the two of them now. >> so you i do think that he's crossed the line there. on abc's "the view," comey, who has long been a registered republican, said this very thing about the current state of the party, your party. here's what he said. >> i feel like the republican party left me, and people like me. i used to think that at the heart of being a conservative, lower case "c" was first the character matters and second that values matter most of all. and i don't know where that is today in the republican party. so i'm not comfortable being part of it.

>> what is your reaction, congressman? >> well, i understand that there's some people who feel that way, but where else are you going to go? you certainly can't go to the clinton it is you care about character. you have to think what is the right thing for our country? i believe, although i have concerns, i think that conservative values are the thing that help our country. those are best embodied in the republican party. i understand he feels frustrated. but i think this is entirely personal. i think this has developed into something that is, again, tit for tat. i think he's on a book tour and trying to generate publicity. i think this helps that. i think it's just unfortunate. >> it's so interesting to hear you say you understand that some people have concerns. but that in the end, it's the principles, historically of your party, that you feel are so important.

what are the concerns that you have heard, that you think republicans need to address, that maybe even jim comey shares, that you think the party really needs to deal with? >> yeah. i mean, a lot of the issues that we feel like we need to deal with, we already have. i think tax reform is a very positive step for most persons. regulatory reform. i think the fact that we've adequately funded our military. so those are good things for the american people and i think they appreciate that. what most people feel concerned about is our public discourse is justdy involved into something that many of us are k uncomfortable with. sometimes the president tweets things that don't help me as a congressman. sometimes his critics are over the top in the personal way they attack him. i don't think either one of those help. and i think the american people are getting exhausted by it. every time i talk with people, whether it's you or other people

in the media or just a guy at the hardware store, we end up talking about these things and it just seems like people are so wary about it. i hope we can do better. i just do. as we go into the midterms, and eventually the 2020 elections, i hope we can lift ourselves up and look for a standard that's a little higher. >> i wanted to ask you about the russia investigation. mitch mcconnell is refusing to bring legislation that would protect the special counsel robert mueller. he's refusing to bring that legislation to the floor. this is what he said on fox. >> i'm the one who decides what we take to the floor. that's my responsibilitresponsi. >> would you be shocked if he did fire him if >> yes, i don't think he should and i don't think he will. >> so he -- it sounds like perhaps he thinks this special counsel doesn't need the protection, and that he somes

certain the president will not fire him. do you share mitch mcconnell's certainty that he won't fire muleer? >> i absolutely do. i think this is a little bit of crying fire, when there is no fire there. the president has made it clear, as recently as three weeks ago, he has no intention of firing mr. mueller, and he shouldn't. if you think there's evidence of collusion, it just hasn't materialized. i think the president sees that. >> he's considered it in the past, sir. do you discount that? >> i don't know that he has considered it in the past. at least not seriously. i don't know, i'm not in on those private conversations obviously. but he has said recently he's not going to fire him. we have no indications that he's thinking of doing that now. i think this is a way once again to generate a little bit of emotion. but it's over an issue that i don't think is realistic. >> congressman, we appreciate your time. congressman chris stewart joining us from a rather busy

day there. we appreciate it. >> thank you, ma'am. up next, we have new details about that deadly southwest flight, as passenger set the scene inside the cabin. we're now hearing the fbi is playing a role in this investigation. this just in. we're learn who is attending former first lady barbara bush's funeral on saturday. an unreasow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part. like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ ♪ (baby crying) ♪ ♪ don't juggle your home life and work life without it.
