dan, and he said the president, quote, should have had the strength to make those comments in front of putin. and these remarks are coming more than 24 hours after he made them and after two taped interviews he did aboard air force one before taking off. the fact he's making these remarks and cleanup now, we're hearing from some republicans like newt gingrich, saying they're satisfied with his attempt today, but it's unclear if they'll go across bipartisan lines the way we heard against the helsinki remarks yesterday. two people dead after a small plane crash. the faa says the single engine plane went down on the west side of highway 267 at 7:40 this morning. the pilot reported engine problems and was trying to return to the airport when the crash happened. a third person on the plane is in the hospital with serious injuries. investigators are now on the

and the sentence should have been, and i thought it would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video, the sentence should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. >> well, as rereported a few minutes ago, surprising about face from the president today. dr. steven fish, political science professor at cal. >> interesting days indeed, especially for russia specialists. >> let's talk about the denial. let's go back to the other day in helsinki, and that news conference wch b awkwardo beg w. what did you make of that entire appearance by an american president? what will history remember? >> history will remember probably the lowest day in the history of the american presidency. never has an american president been that outrageously subservient to a foreign leader,

much less the leader of a hostile foreign power. what's more, putin ran rings around him in every way. trump seemed to be coming off the meeting with his handler, and he was profoundly inarticulate as usual. this was a dark day for the united states. >> you condemn that in the strongest possible terms, perhaps the darkest day for an american president. strong language. you mean that sincerely? >> completely sincerely. >> i'm reminded of president reagan, tear down this wall, a confrontational stance his advisers told him not to do, but he did anyway. this is the opposite. >> the republican party has come a long way from the days of reagan. the direction has not been good. >> and something else that happened today, a belabored ngfn helsinki, what did you make of that? is that credible? do you think it will be perceived as if national interests weren't at

stake. of course they are. some senators are calling for an interview with trump's translator, the only person, the only american who he let in the room with him. this is the guy who cannot be trusted not to sell the shop. what he said today in that little statement we just saw was absolutely outrageous. what he meant to say was would, if you read his whole statement again, which you'll see is that he was saying there's no russia would try to do what it did, he's walking it back reading from some text in front of him saying he meant to say wouldn't. it's completely implausible, incredible, and hard to believe that even trump is trying to say this. >> it's obviously fodder for all of us to talk about. but the long-term repercussions, will there really be any from this? >> i think there will be, dan. for now, trump has endangered our alliances with our truest, oldest allies in europe. he's chosen putin over them. he's chosen putin over his own

intelligence agency, over the american people in inot s erts to power, before coming power. this is a dark day. and we'll see in the mueller investigation more, about what his motives are, but we know for sure he is acting in russia's interests. whatever his motives for that are, we don't know for sure, but we do know he's not serving the united states. >> there's new speculation, perhaps russia may have something on him. we don't know if that's the case. but we also should assume that the private meeting between putin and trump and their translators was recorded or documented in some way, certainly by the russians. >> the russians might have documented it, but i probably wouldn't trust their transcript of the interview. putin actually had to go out of his way to buck up trump's authority during the press conference. so i don't think we can trust him to be honest about the interview. you might recall during the press conference he actually turned to a reporter who was asking the question and said, actually, you know, trump really represents the united states,

and i really represent russia. it was a high moment for trump because it wasn't clear to anybody that, in fact, he was representing the united states. putin's got to be loving this. >> they were quite happy with how it went in russia. >> indeed. >> steve, before i let you go, you're now advising president trump in an effort to help president trump and the united states of america, you're in the room with him. what do you tell him to do? >> resign. >> oh, let's be serious. >> i'm being serious. this is -- these are high crimes and misdemeanors. this president is in for trouble. if he doesn't leave now he's going to be impeached. you can't keep doing this much longer. the republicans have to choose. they have to choose whether they will continue to back this president who is revealing himself to be a traitor or not. we'll see if republicans are patriots. >> tough words today. thanks, good to have you with us. new details today about twitter's battle against russian disinformation.

think about breast-feeding. companies who are supportive retain mothers at 95% versus the national average of 59%. ester joins me today, and can you talk about why it's so important to support new moms in the workplace? it's important for us because we need to feed our babies, why is it important for companies? >> it's very meaningful for companies, one point is retention, which you mentioned, we're in a full employment economy. it's incredibly hard to recruit new people and incredibly hard to retain them because people have a lot of options. so that moment where mom goes on maternity leave, that's a decision point where if she thinks it's a little tough to come back to work or it might be

challenging she might go make a no go decision in a way that the company would really suffer to lose her. right? so for that reason, if she knows ahead of time that there are supportive mechanisms, private places she can go, hospital grade brea pumps, it's t come b necessarily have anything set up? what should they be doing to promote this for women and make it an option for them? >> that's what we do at day one baby as a company. it's usually the h.r. and benefits departments we work with. what they do is, it's very easy to institute a private space that's dedicated. that's legislated today on a federal level. companies 50 employees and above have to have a private space that's purely dedicated to lactation. so if they don't have one and they need one, there are portable mother's rooms that we offer. hospital grade breast pumps make

it possible to express breast milk while you're at work in about a third of the time so you can get back to doing what you need to be doing. there are hygiene amenities, comfort amenities like lotions and even nutritional amenities too. lastly what we work with as well are really offering consulting -- lactation consulting that's video based and hipaa compliant so mom doesn't have to leave the office or leave home to be able to get answers to the questions that she needs. >> okay. and this is really beneficial financially for the companies as well. >> absolutely, yes. it's -- we know that it's much more expensive to hire and retrain a valued, ongoing employee than it is to retain the one that you already have. but also, companies are really vying mightily for new recruits. and whether somebody is already a mom, or maybe expecting, or maybe is thinking about starting

a family over the coming three to five, five to seven years, it's really the messaging that the company sends forward that says this is a warm and friendly place for you to come to. if you come here, you'll be okay for the long run. >> this week a model stirred up controversy, i saw it myself, walking the runway while breast-feeding. she's even commented about how this shouldn't be making headlines. do you think we're ever going to get to the point where breast-feeding in public is -- nobody bats an eye? >> there are many cultures and many places in the world where that is already the case. in the meantime, these types of moments, like the model walking the runway, they're meant to provoke conversation, which is exactly what we're doing today. and, you know, companies that want to know how they can better normalize it, we offer a lot of information. go to our website which is day one baby.com, or e-mail and we can help you out.
