series of interviews with robert mueller. >> to say this is unusual would be an understatement. >> the president encouraged all of the people who testified to tell the truth. >> a lot that don mcgahn knows about the last year and a half of the trump administration. >> the mueller team is panicking. there was no collusion and no obstruction. they can't prove it and they are trying to get the president to testify. ♪ >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. glad you're awake and bus this morning. i'm christi paul. thanks for being here. let's talk about president trump because he says, look. there is nothing to see here, after a "the new york times" report that white house counsel don mcgahn has been cooperating

with the special counsel. "the times" reports that mcgahn participated in several interviews over nine months. sarah westwood is live from new jersey where the president is spending the weekend. what else are we learning, sarah? >> reporter: president trump is speaking up to downplay the significance of that "the new york times" report that suggests white house counsel don mcgahn cooperated with the robert mueller on the obstruction portion of his investigation. trump and his legal team have been saying that they encouraged mcgahn to speak to investigators. like you mentioned, mcgahn gave nearly 30 hours of system to investigators and he provided potentially unflattering information about the ways that trump reacted privately to developments in the russia investigation. rudy giuliani, trump's personal attorney, is arguing that mcgahn served as a strong witness for

the president. here is what giuliani had to say about it last night. >> the reality is that the president encouraged all of the people who testified to tell the truth, to take as long as they did, they had no -- they will have possess no problem with the president or us and we have no reason to believe that don mcgahn didn't do that. it's john dowd who is the president's lawyer at the time today said loudly and clearly. >> right. >> >> don mcgahn was the strongest witness for the president. meaning he completely gave testimony that said that the president didn't do anything wrong, which the president didn't do. he didn't do anything wrong. >> reporter: now mcgahn's attorney told our colleague ryan nobles that mcgahn answered so many of the investigator's answer because trump declined to exert executive privilege over his counsel's testimony.

the relationship between trump and his white house counsel has at times than contentious but the white house is denying that his collaboration with the investigators is producing any more strain on their relationship. >> thank you, sarah westwood, there in new jersey. lynn sweet is with us and ross garber, cnn legal analyst. thank you both for being here. i want to listen, if i could, please, to more of what rudy giuliani said last night. let's listen to what he was talking about, about the best analysis of the mueller investigation thus far. >> i think the best analysis would be that the mueller team is panicking. they know they don't have a case and they are trying to get the president to testify. they are hoping if they put out a story like this in which they suggest that mcgahn is

cooperating against him, but don't say it. they don't say that. that he'll want to come in and explain himself. >> first of all, lynn, do you get any indication that mueller's team is panicking? >> absolutely not. mueller's team is very busy. they are wrapping up the trial and waiting for the jury in the manafort case and they have a plea going on, a settlement on the sentencing for george papadopoulos and have lawyers all over the place doing stuff. this is not panicking. it's extraordinary to have all of these hours of interviews with a white house counsel who, you know, just at the beginning of this story is that president trump kind of thought don mcgahn was his personal lawyer, so he didn't quite get the difference between the white house counsel and the role that rudy giuliani is playing. so now there is nothing to think that this story is evidence of panic.

it provides deep insight into what the investigators -- who the investigators are talking to and the obstruction path that they are taking their inquiry. >> all right. ross, i want to read to you something that the president just tweeted about this very story. he says the failing "the new york times" wrote a fake piece today implying that because white house counsel don mcgahn was giving hours of testimony so the special counsel he must be a john dean type rat but i allowed him and all others to testify. i didn't have to. i have nothing to hide. is there anything indication -- remember, this is the president who has said this, that he gave over 1 million pages of documents. he called himself the most transparent in history. another tweet, also the president who has called mulers's team discredit and a scam of investigation and accused mueller of conflict of interesting asking why the investigation is taking so long. first of all, what do you make of this latest tweet? is there any indication that the

president has not fulfilled any legal obligation he has in this investigation? >> here is what i think is going on. early on in this investigation, the president and his lawyers, both private and white house, decided there was nothing to look at here. they weren't concerned. they were going to have everybody testify. it really is extraordinary to allow your counsel, your white house counsel to provide information to investigators. it really, really is extraordinary. and, honestly, i've said a long time i wouldn't do it if i were representing the white house, but they did it and i think they did it in expectation that the investigation would be over and wrapped up and everybody would move on. that, obviously, hasn't happened. i think what you're seen from the president's tweets and from the -- and from rudy giuliani's statements over the past week or so, is concern that the investigation is going to be prolonged even into the fall and i think that this is an effort to try to get mueller and his

team to wrap it up, to say we have cooperated -- >> you're saying -- you're saying this is a timing issue because midterms are coming up? is that part of the focus? >> yeah. if you look at the president's tweets and if you look at rudy giuliani's statements, what they are saying is, you know, wrap this up, wrap this up, let's get this done by september 7th so we don't have this dragging into the mid terms. >> may i just -- >> lynn, go ahead. >> this is the good part about the tweets and the insight. he went to bed tweeting about allowing don mcgahn to testify. that is 12 hours ago. five minutes ago, he did that tweet that you just talked about, about don mcgahn. what an insight into the president. so he goes to bed thinking about this and he is getting up this morning thinking about this and trying to put out these tweets to set the agenda for the sunday shows. >> do you think it has anything to do with timing as ross is suggesting about the fact that

if the report isn't released, say, prior to midterms and the democrats win seats, does that put the president in a vulnerable position? >> well, of course, it does because if the democrats control the house of representatives, that is where patron proceedings start with the judiciary committee. fountain democrats can control the judiciary committee, they can start the impeachment proceedings. by the way, if the republicans control the senate, an impeachment trial there most likely be an acquittal. it means there is a lot at rick. this goes to the president's state of mind. that is what is revealing about this. i don't even know if this is a midterm strategy in these tweets, as much as reflection of the obsession that the president has with this. >> go ahead, ross. >> yeah. just quickly. you know, i do think there is an element of that. you know? an investigation like this is enormously taxing. you know, personally and to an administration. i think that is part of the timing issue also. i think what the president and his lawyers are saying, is, you

know, look. this really has been disruptive. mueller, this is not an incredibly complex issue. we have cooperated, we provided all of this information and all of this testimony, let's wrap it up and get it done. i think that is what their point is. >> we have people on both sides. some saying wrap it up, nothing here and others say it has to be something here because it's taking so long. at the end of the day the truth is robert mueller is the only one who niece what he has so we have to wait and see what happens. thank you both for being here. today on "state of the union" with jake tapper, former director of national intelligence james clapper and the former director of the national security director michael hayden on the show live. both men are on president trump's short list to have their security clearance revoked and that is "state of the union" with jake tapper today on cnn at 9:00 a.m. >> when i look at the two tweets if it's composed by same person. last night's tweet a different tone and cadence and look at the

spelling of counsel. it's spelled properly last night and this morning it's misspelled! i wonder if these are -- one came from an attorney or one from the president? we know in the past his former attorney john dowd has admitted that he composed a tweet and sent it to the president. so we may never know but that is an interesting distinction between these two, that on one night you spell counsel properly and the next morning you misspell it. propose francis delivered his sunday prayer but did not address the abuse scandal. one pennsylvania bishop is speaking out. the changes he is promising to combat abuse within the catholic church. er, your brain naturally begins to change which may cause trouble with recall. - learning from him is great... when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad's got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide.

he did not mention the sex abuse for the catholic priests in pennsylvania. >> some are waiting for him to say more. thursday, the pope issued a statement that called the allegations criminally and morally represent rehence i believe -- represereprehensible. >> polo sandoval is in pittsburgh now. >> reporter: the sunday mass is wrapping up here in the pittsburgh area. people are talking about this report and even days after its release here. we have heard, of course, from many people here, yesterday, in fact. we also attended mass on the city's south side and heard from the them calling on followers to focus more on their faith and

the gospel versus the institution that has its flaws as we learned in the lengthy report issued by the grand jury here. a very disturbing report. some church goers are upset with the church and one woman said this apology we have heard from her local bishop here in pittsburgh, all the way up to the vatican, it is simply not enough. she wants a full administration of a cover-up that has spanned decades here. you hear from the groups and they want the same thing and survivors agree too. >> i've been doing this 13 years being public about my abuse and trying to advocate for others but i've heard nothing but empty promises and words. i want action, you know? they are apologizing only because they have been caught and exposed. they did not willingly do this. i'm not buying that. the pope needs to step up and take control of his church. >> reporter: a bishop who leads

the pittsburgh diocese has apologized for this sex abuse and released an extensionive letter and calling on the church to not bury its head in the sand here, saying that there were instances in the past outlined in this report when the church acted in ways that did not respond to victims and they should have started long before that. this coming from bishop zubik, the bdiocese in pittsburgh. today, the first sunday mass after the release of the report, interesting to see if people here feel if that is enough. >> polo sandoval, thank you. pope is traveling to dublin, ireland, later this week to attend catholic world meetings of families and we signed john allen there who is editor for

"the boston globe" crux. a lot of survivors who say, john, the pope needs to step you as you just heard there. this is a grand jury report incriminating catholic priests of sexually abusing 1,000 children. more than 300 predator priests is how they were characterized. is the pope's ability to act as a moral authority dependent on how he reacts to this report? >> good morning. first of all, a very small correction. crux was launched by "the boston globe" but we have been independent of them for a couple of years so i wouldn't want there to be any blowback on what you say about "the boston globe." >> thank you for the correction. >> look. here is the thing. pope francis is a very popular figure around the world. a lot of people see him as moral leader but there is no doubt

that the blows that the catholic church and the vatican and he personally have taken over the sex abuse scandals in recent months and even in recent days, have put up a series of question marks around that ability to lead. let's remember that as bad as the pennsylvania grand jury report is, it's hard to leave a sex abuse scandal bubbling out here. in ireland this country has gone through one of the most appalling sexual abuse scandals ever recorded. at the moment, a equally horrific scandal in chile and other parts of the world so this is a global problem. the pope is coming to a world meeting of families. i think there is live expectation that when he gets here, he needs to have something to say that goes beyond, i'm sorry, that goes towards what are we going to do about it? and not just in terms of preventing the crime of abuse, but also dealing with the cover-up that is when bishops and other leaders in the church know about accusations of abuse

and fail to act, then they need to be held accountable too. that is piece of the puzzle has has really not fallen yet into place. i think people here and around the world are expecting francis will address it in it ireland. >> yes. in fact, pennsylvania's a.g. josh shapiro said the case not closed. does the church support legal action against those who are accused? >> oh, absolutely. the church's firm follow, certainly in the united states, since 2002 when the sex abuse crisis first flblew up there an the bishops adopted their charter in a meeting in dallas. the position of the church in the united states has been full cooperation with civil authorities, including cooperating with filing criminal charges against abusers who have harmed children. so, honestly, christi, the problem with the catholic church, at least in the western world these days, isn't so much

its commitment to weed out predators. i think the church has done a fairly credible job of that. the unfinished business is what about bishops and other superiors in the church who knew about these things a long time ago and didn't report them, didn't take action? what sort of punishment awaits them? that is the question the church still really has not answered. >> yeah, what is the consequence there. john allen, thank you so much for being with us. always a pleasure to see you. nashville police are trying to piece together a string of recent shootings. last tuesday, a man was killed in an apparent armed robbery while catching the bus to work and on friday two more people were killed outside of a convenience store and police say were there some similarities. they released these surveillance images. take a look. of at least one of the suspects. still to come in a major overhaul of obama era climate policies, president trump is set to reveal a new plan to benefit

obama-er climate regulations and states can set their own rules when it comes to carbon monoxide emissions from coal plants. it would produce cheaper electricity and compete with natural gas but it could increase harmful gas emissions. tyranny suttenfield joins us now. >> good morning. >> tell us from your perspective what is the impact of what we have seen with the clean car regulations and what we are expected to be rolled out this week? >> well, we fear this is going to have a devastating impact. once again, donald trump and acting administrator andrew wheeler, just like his predecessor, disgraced epa scott pruitt will jeopardize public health. the trump administration's own analysis found the common sense

clean power plan to cut carbon pollution from clean power plants this could have prevent 4,500 premature deaths per year by 2030 let's put up the coal producing stalts. the president's arguments and those who support him say this is about jobs and employ people and every limit and this impacts the income in these communities. so that you say what? >> we say that the clean power plant is common sense. it gives states tremendous flexibility. there was a really extensive period and analysis by the obama administration, including receiving more than 8 million public comments in support of this rule. and so what this really is about is the trump administration, once again, their pattern of

indica catering to -- >> i haven't heard you address the jobs. what he is selling he is getting people back to work in wyoming and states we just listed. >> the thing about the clean power plant it's win/win and it creates jobs and can help people save money on their electricity bills and it will protect the planet which is so vitally important what we are seeing this summer with extreme heat rage is krois creating. we need to combat the crisis and moving backwards is the wrong direction and has that is what trump is doing. >> you tweeted out a green wave is coming in 80 days to elect environmental champions up and down the ballot but there is a new pugh poll that came out this summer and asks voters what one issue would you most like to hear the candidates in your state or district talk about this fall? the environment came in behind

immigration, health care, politicians, education, the economy, guns, jobs, taxes, at 4%. so do people really vote on this issue? by this poll, it doesn't seem like evidence to support a green wave. >> a lot of issues that people care very much about and we are confident from polling we have done with the global strategy group and others that people care overwhelmingly about the air that they breathe, the water that they drink, the lands, and the wildlife that they cherish. and one of the things that makes me so encouraged is that there are environmental champions running for office at all levels of government and i think we see a lot of incumbent republicans who are running scared and know they are out of step with their constituents when it comes to protecting our environment and public health. >> all right. well, you've got at least one, two, three, four, five, six, seven topics that, according to this poll, are more important to people or the issue they are like to hear most from their elected leaders before they get to the environment. but as you say, we are just a

couple of months away. >> that's right. >> thank you for being with us this morning. do you have a hobby? gardening? bird watching? fly fishing? maybe hunting down russian trolls? that is what one man in indiana does. apparently in his spare time. by day, josh russell works as a systems analyst and programmer. here is what he says about his hobby. >> reporter: new details are coming out tonight on just how russian interference in the u.s. interference played out. >> facebook sold more than 3,000 ads to a russian troll farm. >> i found out one of my friends were posting things that were not true. >> what we are talking about is the beginning of cyberwar fare. >> to find out something that you really believed in was fake and russian disinformation bothers a lot of people really bad. my name is josh russell. i am a systems analyst for

indiana university. i spend a lot of my time on different hobbies and i get obsess sie obsessive about things so the past two years i've collected every piece of russian disinformation that i could find. i didn't really believe this story at first. when someone put out the names of the first disinformation groups, i could look it up and confirm it and that kind of got me started off. as far as i know, i probably maintain the most comprehensive list of internet research agency related accounts. i spend maybe three or four hours a day on this. i'm just a regular person in indiana. i don't have any relationship with any type of law enforcement, any of the tech

companies or social media companies. hackers use a lot of the same tools that i do but i don't attack anybody's computer networks. i'm basically just collecting data. at first, i was kind of scared about how much i had gotten into it. i've had threats in russia before. people try to be mean to steer you out of doing things. i don't care any more. one of the things i like to keep an eye on is what the russians might be tweeting about and just check the trending hash tags. they are super gross and extremely effective. >> down with the racists and the naz nazis. >> they had large crowds of people out protesting one group against the other and if you go in and you look at what they did on social media, they played both sides against each other. if they can get you to believe this really insane story, they will slowly work in their

propaganda narratives over time, for example, if they don't want you to vote, they might post a lot of stuff on their twitter feed that you think is awesome and cool, but then they will post those little things before an election that say, hey, you know, it's not worth your time to go out and vote. very, obviously, russian bought. the whole purpose was to retweet the russian troll accounts. i can ask twitter all day along to suspend the accounts and they won't do anything. if i get one actual journalist that works for a reparable newspaper to inquire, they will. the only way i have to fought benefits this disinformation. ♪ it's really easy for the

russians to start interfering with elections and doing things politically again and getting away with it because people want their bias confirmed, essentially. we have freedom of speech and as part of that disinformation is going to come along with it. the more that people understand what it looks like, the less effect it can have. >> you heard him there say, yeah, he has received threats. but he said it doesn't -- he doesn't let it bother him because he says it's worth the risk he taking. when we come back, the backstreet boys had to cancel a concert after a storm rolled through and there were fans injured here. also, actor kevin spacey makes history at the box office. his latest release just broke in a career box office low. i'm sure you could write a personal check for the amount that he took in on opening day. the question is -- what caused

the abysmal turnout? in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today. in the movies, a lot of times, i tend to play the tough guy. but i wasn't tough enough to quit on my own. not until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking.

it reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could stop. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. my favorite role so far? being a non-smoker. no question about it. talk to your doctor about chantix.

this is really scary for the people who were this backstreet boys concert in oklahoma. a huge metal awning fell. the weather was really bad. maybe can you see that in the background. several people were hurt and one person there says that some people left in ambulances. this was a sold-out concert featured both the backstreet boys and 98 degrees. we are hoping to get more on the conditions of those people who were hurt. >> i hope everybody is okay. so i don't know if you've heard of this indy film "billionaire boys club." i had not heard of it either. >> me either. >> came in today. the headline is about the money that it took in during its

release this week. i made a mistake. >> you thought -- >> put an "m" behind it as in million. >> here is why i'm confident you haven't heard it. it took in $126. >> mot million. >> on opening day. >> diverting to pay expenses. >> i'm from wall street. you think people really get rich playing by the rules? >> where is the money? >> there was never any money. >> ron had a fake account! >> let's bring in cnn's senior media correspondent and host of "reliable sources" brian stelter. $126 and only in ten cities, not including new york and l.a. from what i understand. but surely they expected more than this. >> this means about, let's dot math. about a dozen people saw this

movie. in all of the cities where it was available, ten different markets, a dozen people went to see it on the first day. i think, honestly, i don't mean this as a joke. i think the family members of the cast and crew were the ones that went to see the movie. you think about this. this is a really interesting about in the me too moment we are all in. kevin spacey is a supporting actor in this movie that was intermediate almost three years ago. it's an ensemble crime drama. you can see the trailer here. it has lots of other stars like billy lord and emma roberts who are characters in this film. kevin spacey is supporting actor but no way to take him out of the movie. they taped this movie three years ago. then about a year ago, spacey was accused of sexual assault by a number of men, some of them on the "house of cards" set on the flet nix show. what do you do if you're the maker of this movie and it's sitting on the shelf? you've wanted to release it. now what do you do? do you go ahead and put it in theater or not?

ultimately they decided to have a small release of this movie because they said they wanted the cast and crews and families to be able to see it. you can see the impact here. it's remarkable. the hollywood trade publications are having a field day with this because of how abysmally unsuccessful it was this weekend at the box office. >> some people might not have known it's out there. it looks interesting. it's an intriguing movie. but how do you promote a movie maybe with him? is that part of it? >> you expect more than 12 people knew the movie was coming out. >> exactly. it's because of this taint from spacey, from the allegations against him, it is incredible to think of what a difference a year makes. a year ago, we weren't even talking about harvey weinstein or kevin spacey. nowadays, hollywood has changed forever as a result. >> all right. >> certainly has. brian stelter, thank you much. tune in to his show "reliable sources" today and he will be talking with the twitter ceo

you know, try to evaluate or try to develop some kind of an anti-satellite weapon or, you know, other kind of a military purpose. >> so the worry is warranted then? >> yeah, i believe so. if it were a civilian project or some kind of a civil program, certainly i would think the russians would have announced it and told everyone what they are doing. but the fact that it's, you know, pretty much -- they have pretty much been quiet about it, that raises some concerns and it's not that -- it's not that we are not doing it or any other nations aren't developing the capabilities, certainly we are and certainly so are other countries, but the fact this that they didn't announce anything indicates it's probably some kind of a military experiment. >> can i ask you about space force? >> sure. >> i have to ask you, of course, about the space force. a new cnn poll that is out and it shows only 37% of respondents support the creation of this

plan. 55% do not. what is the value of public polling on something this complex? i don't even know. if the air force were polled in the mid-40s, what would people have said about it then? is this part -- >> i don't know about the public polling. i think the biggest question about something like a space force, it's a question worth being asked and worth being evaluated. but, you know, the first thing that comes to my mind is what problem are you solving by creating a space course? space command in the air force is in charge of all the nation's military satellites and things like that. you have to ask yourself is that not working? is there a problem ware trying to solve? i mean thithis s is something - always one skeptical about

they could be explained as a human made phenomenon. as an example one of my last space walks i was in that twilight zone where we were going into the sun rise on the space station. so you're kind of in that netherworld where it's not quite lot, not quite bright, and i saw what looked like five lights flying past in formation. i thought that was pretty strange and i called out to my crewman and instantly it was out on the internet i had seen these ufos. and later because of the exact time i made those transmissions we could figure out where it was located. someone figured out we're flying over the coast of south america, and nfgt it's these bright fishing boats and it was the
