the news continues right now. we want to hand it over to the colbert cuddler chris cuomo. >> heavy charge. welcome to primetime. this president told vladimir putin today that the mueller probe was a hoax and then joked with the media about how putin disrespected the probe. he also refused to address any future interference with the man that is still actively trying to interfere with our democracy. and he decided to accept putin's claim that he wants nothing to do with venezuela despite the secretary of state saying the opposite just days ago. how is any of that okay? we have a foreign affairs committee member that may breathe some fire tonight. the democrat is also on the

committee that is set monday as the new deadline for the full mueller report. what happens to the ag if it doesn't happen? and let's get after it is supposed to be our thing but now it's just becoming a thing. >> chris cuomo, let's get after it. >> how did that happen? the story behind the whackiest appearance of my life. only in america kids. let's get after it. >> the president of the united states was asked if he confronted the man who was actively trying to interfere in our democracy like right now. here's his answer. >> we didn't discuss that. we digdn't discuss it. >> more troubling may be what they did say to each other. we have the member of the

democratic leadership on the foreign affairs and judiciary committees. great guest for tonight. thank you for making it happen. if people knew the communications chaos that has been going on and yet it all worked out. thank the lord. it's good to have you. >> great to be with you. >> so he -- you can't make it up sometimes congressman. he says to putin, the probe was a hoax. they joke about how it started out as a mountain and became amo a mouse and he says he believes putin wants nothing to do with venezuela despite our own intel people and our secretary of state telling him that's not true. how do you explain it? >> well, again chris, this is another example of the president of the united states appearing

to cozy up to putin and make excuses for his behavior and you have to wonder why. here is a report from the special counsel that details a very extensive sophisticated campaign lead by putin to attack american democracy for the benefit of donald trump at the expense of hillary clinton and lays out in a lot of detail how they did that. they continue to do it. the president of the united states, this is his first conversation with vladimir putin. you would expect you would say how dare you attempt to interfere with the american democracy with the presidential election. don't ever do it again and assert that there would be consequences for it. but instead he's using his talking points. it's a hoax. undermining the intelligence and national security communities and the seriousness of the threat. so it's very disappointing.

>> senator klobachar was on last night. listen to what she said. >> we have another presidential election coming up and this president has every reason not to protect that election. >> that's a heavy allegation senator. what are you suggesting? >> because the last way this was handled appeared to benefit him. >> i tell you what, i wouldn't ask it with as much gusto tonight after what he said to the russian president but we had a bipartisan bill here. she and the republican congressman put it together and the white house pushed back on it. they didn't want to put in place what they thought was necessary to secure the next election with paper back up ballots just in case the coaching of any votes works. how do you explain that? >> the president made it clear that anyone that raises the issue, anyone that raises the issue of the russian interference in our democracy,

the president reacts very badly. it's because he perceives that to be questioning the legitamacy of his holding office. make sure that no foreign adversary gets done in anyway. in the mueller report the special counsel says although he may not have been able to prove conspiracy they understood they would benefit electorially. so there's no question that the president understood that. >> i'll give you that on russian interference he has to talk this way because if he talks about it too much he believes it's bad for him. fine. >> i'm not saying he has to talk about it that way. i'm saying that's why he has failed to provide leadership. >> i'm with you. >> he's so insecure. >> you're not providing an excuse. you're giving an explanation.

>> that's right. >> it doesn't work for me on venezuela. he's going to have to figure out what to do about this. so on venezuela, listen to what he said. >> we talked about many things. venezuela is one of the topics and he's not looking at all to get involved in venezuela other than he'd like to see something positive happen for venezuela and i feel the same way. >> he feels the same way. he doesn't want to interfere. they have 100 troops on the ground. the secretary of state just said the opposite. what do you do about that? >> first of all, i introduced legislation that we already passed that would prevent the president from engaging the military action in venezuela without congressional authorization because the last thing we want or the american people want is another war without congressional authorization. but this is a real example of where the president's fondness for vladimir putin, hard to explain why, is really effecting

the national security interests of the united states. the russians have helped to prop up nicholas maduro, a brutal dictator in venezuela. many things but for their involvement he would have been long gone and there would be a transition to new leadership in that country and the president saying oh, no, putin told me he wants what's best for the venezuelans. if you think that's what is best for the venezuelans then i guess you can believe vladimir putin. this is an effort to explain away the thuggish behavior of vladimir putin and believe him over your own state department officials and intelligence community. this is a pattern. you have to wonder why. why is the president so willing to excuse the conduct and give the benefit of the doubt to a person that attacked our democracy. >> now let's bounce the ball the other way. if on monday the ag doesn't give you the full unredacted mueller report, what are you going to

do? >> on monday, i expect the chairman will make the final decision but my expectation is that we will file a contempt resolution or notice a contempt resolution. the committee will find the attorney general in contempt of a lawful subpoena. that would go to the floor of the house and that would then authorize not only a finding of contempt but authorize a court action for enforcement of the subpoena. >> but that could mean the sergeant of arms like going and arresting him. do you really want to do that? do you want to put the ag in jail over a political dispute? >> it's not a political dispute. this is about a central function of congress. our oversight responsibility is completely dependent on our ability to compel the production of documents and the appearances of witnesses to testify under oath. if the executive branch is allowed to just say no it will effectively extinguish congressional oversight. our founding fathers didn't contemplate that. it's an important

responsibility. we have to do our jobs and there would be a court proceeding in which case he would be in contempt if he didn't comply and the court could impose penalties. no one wants that. what we want is the production of the documents. so my hope is that the attorney general will think about this and understand his obligation to share it with congress and shouldn't get to litigation or anything like that. we have to get the information. we need to have the documents and have witnesses come before the committee and testify under oath. >> i get it. i get the need for oversight and accountability. you have to get the caution of overreach because the last thing we need is for the temperature to get hotter than it already is. congressman, on a friday with all the drama that went into it, thank you for making it all work and important time to have you. thank you and be well. >> thank you. you be well as well. >> the president looked at this

new report from the new york times about how and to what lengths our intel agencies went to surveil papadapolis when word came to them about what he was talking about. he looks at it and he said it's over. the worst i've ever seen since watergate except in reverse. is it? we're going to test what they told us happened, what the facts are with phil mud. former intelligence boss for this government. next. last year, the department of veteran's affairs partnered with t-mobile for business, to help care for veterans everywhere. with va video connect, powered by t-mobile, men and women who serve can speak to their doctors from virtually anywhere, and get the care they deserve, so they can return to their most important post. best friend, quarterback, or just dad.

north korea has apparently fired, tested a short range ballistic missile. now let's bring in phil.

we're lucky to have him tonight. he understands these things, we're very thin on information. i can't even tell you what direction they sent it in. but do what your best at. give us the right questions to ask on this news? >> the message isn't about the missile. it's about what kim jong un, the leader of north korea is telling us about future negotiations. we go through a failed conversation in southeast asia with the president recently. kim jong un comes out after saying he's going to freeze his nuclear programs and pops off a short range missile. that's not a threat. he's not trying to suggest he's going after alaska or hawaii or guam. what he is sending a message about is you treated me as an equal and you met me with the president of the united states. if you want to talk we better talk because if you don't want to talk, if you don't want to get serious i've got options. my first option is a short range missile and maybe the second option is nuclear test. he wants to come back to the table and he expects the

president to treat him as an equal. >> the only other piece of information i have for you is they say it came from the east coast. the water side coast. have they ever come from the west coast? is that relevant? >> no, i suspect they're just shooting it into the ocean again. we have very little information. i understand that. an indication that they're not threatening a land mass, popping it off into the ocean. maybe they'll say oh it was a test. but after that failed meeting with president trump and remember kim jong un was just on a train to see vladimir putin complaining about his conversations with president trump. you cannot view this as a missile test. you have to view this as a message to washington saying show back up at the table and you better bring your a-game this time. by the way, a-game means if you want to give us something, you better give up something on sanctions. you give we give. >> how do you figure the idea of the president meeting with putin

they said they talked about north korea the same day that king jong undoes this? what does that mean? >> i think there's a simple story here. he wants to reemerge on global stage. he has a lot of friends that we don't like. the venezuelans, the iranian, the syrians. he wouldn't have known about this but he has a simple game here that involves the president of the united states. when kim jong un comes to the table he's going to have his team behind him. that's putin. what putin is doing in his conversations with kim jong un is saying forget about the fall of the wall, forget about the decline of the soviet union, one of the pieces is we'll be in the game when he talks to you about

nuclear missiles. >> your ex brothers and sisters in the fbi were so worried about what they heard from that australian ambassador about what george was telling them that some russian had told him about what they could have on hillary clinton or the democrats or whatever that not only did they enlist the help of the informant but they brought an investigator over to the united states and she posed as someone name azra turk. an assistant to that professor that is almost an informant to the u.s. and tried to get information that turned out to be unsuccessful. there it is. is it as simple as that? >> no. in fact, i'd go up almost 180 degrees.

phoenix, los angeles, miami, since the beginning of time politicians including this country engage in corruption. let me give you an example of corruption. you sit on the city council and you tell a construction individual, somebody in private business, we'll steer a contract toward you on the city council to build sidewalks and build roads. $50,000, that's the cost. there's political corruption here. what did the fbi say? we're going to put an informant in there with the city council member that appears to be corrupt and see what we can find. i guarantee you not only has that happened a million times in the fbi but it's happening today in america in some city related to city council or state corruption. that's the way the business

works. it's not uncommon. >> you're not supposed to lay off when it's a presidential campaign and american citizen on foreign soil? >> no, there's a fair question that's going to come out. the question is not whether you could use an informant but was the information from the foreign diplomat significant enough, clear enough and concise enough to take a step and say we're going to conduct an investigation of presidential campaign. i think the question is was the information good enough to go down that path in a presidential campaign? that's a tough one. i think it's going to go ugly. >> why? they're going to be saying are you sure they met a standard for looking into a presidential campaign. any time an inspector general looks at a case like this they'll find something wrong. the white house is going to

twist this and say the whole thing is dirty. i don't think that will happen but as soon as the inspector general finds one speck of dirt they'll be on that like white on rice. >> when does an inspector general find absolutely nothing? they always find something that requires further questioning or to look at how the procedures went down? >> well, we have been around since 1776 and we're about 0 for 250 years. inspectors general are there to say we didn't like them. they're there to say this is how you do something better. from hundreds of potential witnesses, should you or should you not have interviewed the president of the united states.

you look at james comey and what he was doing. the question is how significant are the problems he finds. not whether he finds problems. he will. >> as i told people, get used to the phrase abuse of power. something else for them to hear, fruit on the poisonous tree. they're going to start hearing about this if this raises significant questions about how this was done. can you argue that anything that came out of this investigation was bogus because of how it started. thank got you have no social life and you were available. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> phil is a great guy. he wears so many different hats. he is a good, good man. a president is calling a female

opponent nasty again. what is this going to mean for the waning number that support him. does that mean something that the president should get and not go there? that's the start of a great debate, next. book now and enjoy free unlimited open bar and more. norwegian cruise line. feel free. ♪ we're finally back out in our yard, but so are they. scotts turf builder triple action. it kills weeds, prevents crabgrass and feeds so grass can thrive, guaranteed. our backyard is back. this is a scotts yard. at bass pro shops and cabela's. like savings of $40

word, nasty to her advantage. that is senator kamala harris and she is doing what she can to take on the president while other contenders are taking heat for potentially insensitive comments as well. we'll get to that. but let's bring in our great debaters. we'll start it this way. hasn't the president learned his lesson. why would he call kamala harris nasty? wouldn't he learn during the campaign that's code of how he speaks about women? >> no, not necessarily. he was pretty straightforward when it came to his opponents be them men or women. even carly fiorina. you remember what he said about her and never theless at the th of the day he got a majority of white women's vote and college educated white women. i don't know that he needs to pull back at all.

the way she went after barr and jeff sessions before. she has been nasty and because she happens to have a gender that is a woman and happens to be a minority does not mean that she should be admonished or not admonished for those things. she should be called on it. she is running for the highest office in the land. >> van jones is in redemption mode as we know from his brilliant new series he's doing to try to show that people can come together. what do you see in this one my friend? >> i think 96% of african american women voted for donald trump and the majority of women of color voted against donald trump. as long as we're going to talk about that. the reality is that kamala harris is a tough prosecutor. she's not nasty. she didn't call anybody any names. she didn't raise her voice. she was a tough professional disciplined prosecutor that rattled the attorney general and had him stumbling and stuttering and asking for help from his mom. it was just an embarrassment but

to call that nasty i think is wrong on the facts but there's a pattern that whenever the president, he had a particular vocabulary for them that he doesn't have for men. that's why people ask this question. you don't hear him using this type of word. i do think there's something when it comes to gender for this guy. >> i don't buy that. >> i don't know what matters and what doesn't matter. i know what's right and what is wrong. it's right for a sitting u.s. senator to use her prosecutorial skills to ask tough questions and it's wrong for the president of the united states to call her names. >> i hear he's an equal opportunity offender but he doesn't do it the same way. you won't find him calling men the kinds of things he calls women and there's more of a playfulness to what he calls men

than when he goes at women. he is just raw and hard when it comes to women where as with men it's like little marco and cheating this and sleepy that, with women it's ugly horse face, blood coming from where ever. it's really ugly stuff, why? >> i don't think you want to ask jeb bush about how gentle donald trump was. >> low energy jeb. >> compared to horse face. >> not only that. he said his mother should be the candidate and not him. he was brutal to his opponents. that's the way he rolls. that's the way he has rolled for many, many years. i don't see a double standard. >> i'm about to contribute to a double standard now. i'm aware of it. i want your take on this. for the record and for the audience, i don't believe that what joe biden said should be

mentioned the same a as what trump said. but in the interest of fairness he was talking about what he has done in the past to help women. this is about what he said and how he said it. listen to the sound bite. >> through a program, we had through community colleges, we said put together a program for us where we can teach people how to code. so they went out, literally into the hood and they found, turned out 54 -- they had to be all women, the vast majority were women of color. no one with more than a high school degree. >> now, in the interest of fairness, i'll start with you first, do you believe what joe biden said there and the way he said it was offensive to people of color? >> look on my side of the line, ideological line we are not politically correct nor are we obsessed with identity politics to the same degree that my friends on the other side of the

line are and the problem is not from folks like us. we may try to score a few political points because joe yet again has put his mint flavored shoe in his mouth on this, on china and the campaign has just got started. i'm so looking forward to it. but no, it's not a big deal. i don't see it as racist. i see it as him trying to be lax. the question is the radical hardcore identity politics wing of the democratic party, which might comprise the majority of the base, do they find it offensive? >> i don't know about that. we just had a study that twitter left is not democratic party left. it's about 83 to 87% center left as opposed to more progressive or far left. >> we'll find out soon. >> i don't have a problem with it. it's become very common vernacular. wasn't it bernie sanders that said ghetto. then everybody said we don't say ghetto, we say in the hood.

so biden is probably closer to what people say on a daily basis than ghetto. here's the deal. you can't miss out on a guy that cares about kids in the urban environment and recognizes they need to be ready for the jobs in tomorrow and he's engaging in that work. but here you have somebody that is doing good work to help kids. i'm proud of what he did. i don't care how he described it. >> i'll tell you what, if, if, if it is biden that gets the nomination, it will be a marriage made in heaven in terms of for him and the president it will be a dream because he'll say i'm not as bad as that guy. >> thank you so much i was talking about the redemption project and i'll mention it

president took a victory lap via twitter writing job surge in april. unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969. you know what, that's all true. and this will be the ninth straight year that the economy

adds at least 2 million jo the 9th straight year. so what does that tell you? that's great and this president has been in office for two of them. so this has been something that's going on but it's still good. there's a lot of good me trictrn the economy. so where is the room for democrats to make room on the economy? former u.s. labor secretary, professor of public policy for the university of california at berkeley, mr. robert rice. always a pleasure. first time i've had you on the show. happy to do so. >> hi, chris. >> with that you'll now start attacking my arguments. >> the economy is good and trump is going to be trumpeting the economy. and coming out of the department of labor and commerce he has a

big advantage but that's not where people are actually seeing the economy. most americans are worried about co-payments and deductibles soaring and higher education. >> who will they blame? they always blame whoever is in the white house but they're also going to be attracted to democrats that have answers. that say we have a housing crisis. here's what we do about the housing crisis. here's what we're going to do about it. democrats that have answers and a republican in the house that only gives big tax breaks to corporations, that's the contrast that's going to be meaningful. >> are with me in as much as they can make that case. what joe biden did saying you didn't get a tax cut, did you? you didn't feel it.

was he wrong? there's a lot of people in the middle class that got tax cuts. but to say nobody got one is just not true. >> no, some people did get one but the big tax cuts, we know, this is not controversial. they went to very rich people and the big corporations. the other thing about this is very important and is when corporations use the tax cut to buy back their shares of stock creating a sugar high for the stock market, that helps the people that own a lot of stocks. >> true. >> those are very rich people. >> on health care costs you could argue by saying it's really screwed up and we can do better than this. people voted for it. give me a bigger majority so i can get it done.

>> in 2018 the american voters were upset about even the possibility that republicans were trying to take away the pre-existing condition part of health care they couldn't even repeal it. they didn't repeal it. they didn't replace it. i don't think there's any credibility there at all. >> medicare for all. is that going to be the best message for democrats? >> look at recent polls. 70% are in favor of medicare for all including almost a majority of republicans. that's not a far left idea. >> they don't know what it costs. >> they don't know what it costs but they know that they're paying huge amounts of money in co-payments and deductibles.

so they're going to save more than it costs the federal government. >> we know this. i have been following you my whole life. politics is typical. he's saying look at growth. look at the stocks. look at wages. things are good. how do you come at him in this issue? >> things were good. in 1996 when bill clinton was running for re-election. bill clinton when he went out and said everything is great, a lot of people said wait a minute, they're not great for me. you are out of touch with me so it's dangerous to say things are wonderful, the economy is great because so many americans are insecure and worried about their own personal economy and it's not just health care and education and housing and everything else but also that more and more jobs are becoming insecure. they're not solid. the old steady jobs we used to

know in this economy and you have about 80% of americans, 80% that are living paycheck to paycheck. this is a new economy and this is not what people would say is a great economy for me. >> based on what you said earlier in the segment, i wonder if it's better for the democrats to focus on health care and focus on how people are being forced to spend their money and leave the battle over how good the economy is to the side. that's the highest number. about 56% approval on the economy. so stick to health care. you probably won't win. that's not your place. >> i'd go down to kitchen table economi

economics. that's where the public is. coming out of the bureau of labor statistics. >> i remember when mr. trump before he was president trump i used to interview him during the 2008 great recession and he used to make those points. why do you keep bringing up the unemployment rate. it's about underemployment, why do you keep bringing up the stock market. that's wall street and not main street. >> i hope you have those. >> they're there. good morning america. thank you so much. appreciate the insight. let's do it again. >> good to talk to you. >> we know what the show is about. we get after it every night. steven colbert a little sceptical. a little bit of a bully. wanted to test me. that happened. he said that he'll do the testing and he thought he'd get a little testy and i think we need to test that and let's do it with my main testadura. that means hard head in italian.

issues. >> i'm okay with my issues, especially this month. >> do you want me to tell you what's coming up? >> please. we have been -- the search issue, the black churches in the south, the today to talk about whether or not they think hate crimes will start to go down instead of increase in this country and i want today know what they talked about with want vice president. it's something i can't wait to see, it is something different with the administration. it is not russia related, it has to do with hate crimes. >> good for you, very important. i need to get back to my workout now. >> get back to the room and have them stitch your pants up. >> see, once you get engaged -- he has to leave for this insult to be effective. once you get engaged you lose all of your intensive to be your best self. the president said something

late last night that should have been well received, but it wasn't. i will argue that it is something that the president's supporters have to start supporting. flo needs help?!

a get your questions answered by awesome experts store. it's a now there's one store that connects your life like never before store. the xfinity store is here. and it's simple, easy, awesome. all right, this argument is not to call out the criticism of the president. if you have to be reminded he told putin that the mueller probe was a hoax and he never mentioned, even attempting to get into the state voting databases that it should never happen again. this president will always do and say what he thinks is best for him, so no matter how ardent a supporter of this president

you are, you cannot defend him giving a pass to putin and we all know it. here is an arguable point. the president tweeted last night something that really deserved credit. here it is, excuse me, now republicans and dps must come together for the good of the american people. no more costly and time consuming investigations. let's do immigration, border, infrastructure, lower drug prices, and much more and do it now. you know what? good for him for encouraging progress, showing he wants to get into it with the other side, there are important issues and that's what a president should do. presidential right message. so why didn't you hear more about it. because all of that potential virtue was defeated by what came before it in the same tweet which is this. okay, so after two years of hard work and each party doing their best to make every party make

the other look as worse as possible, the mueller report said there was no collusion and they were rebuffed at every turn. the parties are about opposing the other side, that aim is rewarded by many of you as voters. you get what you ask for. fair enough for the president to say it. the next line is not true and the president knows it. mueller never uses the word collusion because it is not a criminal law term. he found there was not enough for a reasonable doubt to keep them from conspireing with russia. that is good news that this is not a russian agent. that the people around him were not actively working on those in the election. the president knows it because

hes part of it. meetings that should not have happened, and not only were they not rebuffered at every turn, they were sought out. his son, son-in-law, campaign chair, they were all over russians, fact, many of them lied about it. so, how can the call to come together be respected when it is predicated by a pompous pile of poppycock. this is the right hand being extended to shake after the left hand has smacked you. this is why the left won't work with the president. he engenders the animos by doing things like that. if he wanted to work together with anything, he never would have included the first part. but let's be honest, this is who

he is. that is fine, he can placate putin, he can throw the country under the bus, and about venezue venezuela. after his secretary of state appointee said that russia was helping miduro. >> we talked about many things, venezuela was one of the topics. he is not looking at all to get involved in venezuela other than he would like to see something positive happen for venezuela. i feel the same way. >> why does he keep taking this guy's side. to get mention you need to own this other huge part of the reality. the president cut taxes, regulations, scuttled trade deals, and there are pluses and minuses to be debated there. now it is diplomats in epic and

unprecedented fashion. he is given cover to one of america's biggest foes and he is doing all of that to help himse himself. you are sir reurrendering, "cnn tonight" with d. lemon has lots to talk about tonight. >> you're going to be shocked and surprised. >> stop. >> i don't disagree with anything you said. >> only explained by you not listening. >> mark this down on your calendars, everyone, we agree on everything he said in his closing argument, you have to own all of it. i think the sad part is that nothing seems to matter
