i'll be back at 3:00 p.m. join me this saturday 12:30 eastern time for velshi & ruhle weekend edition. right now it's time for andrea mitchell on "andrea mitchell reports." terror in london. dozens of commuters injured when an improvised bomb did he teeto a packed subway car in an upper class residential neighborhood. >> the services are working to establish the full consequences of this cowardly attack and identify all those responsible. >> that is an absolutely terrible thing. in fact, i'm going to call the prime minister right now. >> reporter: have you been briefed by intelligence about the attack? >> yes, i have. on numerous things happening, including north korea. and growing threat, north korea firing another missile over japan, taking tensions to new heights. >> north korea is now a global

threat and it requires a global response from all nations. and fight house. the president's public shaming of the attorney general over the russia investigation, prompting this reaction from hillary clinton last night with rachel maddow. >> this is a man who engages in humiliation and domination as a tactic of control. and good day, everyone, i'm andrea mitchell in washington. a manhunt is under way in the u.k. after a homemade bomb detonated in the london subway in the tube, injuring 23 people. nbc news has learned that a 5-gallon white bucket with a shopping bag was left to sunext the subway doors, but it's not clear whether that was meant to inflict damage.

they are reviewing footage for possible suspects. keir simmons is live in london with the latest. keir, what do we know? >> reporter: andrea, the police are still trying to find out who is responsible for this, whether it's one person or more than one person. they are searching through security footage from that subway car to try to establish, because the nature of it is that someone has to have left this on that car and these subway trains are well covered by security footage, so the police will be able to put a face to that person. and then, of course, track back and try to see if they can identify who they are. we now know that more than 20 people were injured. some of those people in the flash of the fire that took place on board the train. and some, we think, as the many, many people fled in fear, of course, in this city having seen this a number of times, when something like this happens, people know immediately that it is likely to be an attack and simply want to get away.

we've heard stories of even children being -- falling over, being trampled underfoot as crowds just tried to get out of this train. a really frightening scene, and still this city tense because so far, who is is behind it, has not been apprehended. >> the president also tweeted today another tweet. he wrote, another attack in london by a loser terrorist. these are sick and demeanted people who are in scotland yard. must do something about that. >> teresa may acted like he knew something already and this is her response. >> president donald trump has intervened to say this was carried out by people who scotland yard had in its sights. does he know something we don't? >> i don't think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation. as i've just said, the police and security services are working to discover the full circumstances of this cowardly

attack and to identify all those responsible. >> that's a rather starchy response to the fact that, once again, as happened in manchester which you know so well, information about the intelligence, potentially important information, was released here in the states, in this case by the president before scotland yard was prepared to say anything. >> reporter: yeah, if that reflection by the president is, indeed, accurate, and we don't know whether scotland yard were aware of the person. we don't know at this stage whether london police have an individual that they are trying to trace. they certainly haven't told the wider public about that. whether this is a leak or simply the president tweeting in the morning as he does, it certainly hasn't gone down well in scotland yard who are focused on trying to find this individual. now, it is possible that it is somebody that they were aware of that has happened in the past. equally, andrea, i think there

was some interesting things about the nature of this attack. one is, for example, that the crude device was left on the train. this is not a suicide attack. and in the current past few years, that is relatively unusual. so is this maybe somebody, a lone wolf, who was inspired by the internet and has taken it upon himself to build this crude device, or is there a larger terrorist cell involved? those are questions the police will be asking. >> keir simmons, thanks so much for that report. in london, we turn to north korea who fired another missile in japan. flying more than 2300 miles before landing in the pacific, a distance well within range if it had gone a different direction of our giant american air base in guam. south korea has responded by simulating a strike on the site of pyongyang. the security emergency council will be holding another meeting

this afternoon, but china and south korea are calling for tougher sanctions and they can veto anything. senior security analyst and david albright, a physicist and working for the institute of national security, the best known of the think tanks that study this in north korea. thank you, both of you. first to you, david. what was this missile that apparently we think was an intermediate range ballistic missile. how do we know how this improves and advances north korea's abilities? >> any launch is going to help them and this appears to be another successful launch, so they start to build up confidence in these missiles. what we don't know is, was there any payload on this missile? can it really go that far, or is the range shorter if it held a nuclear warhead? also it's pretty uncertain if they could put a nuclear warhead on a missile like this and still

hit a target successfully. that's still unestablished. >> in fact, one thing about this missile, we did see it for at least 24 hours. we were all being told that intelligence had seen this and it was liquid launched, not -- so they had more advance warning. this brings us to the question of why did they decide not to launch a preemptive strike. we were shown this at one of our intelligence facilities. >> once you make a strike, you have to be ready for the possible consequences. today no administration, no government in the region has elected to do that and we've had a number of missile tests. in the last two years, the quickening of the pace of these tests has increased. it would have been a sharp break, it would have been the administration taking a very different tack and it would have required planning for what comes

next. i don't think everyone is aligned, not only within the u.s. government but also with our allies in japan and south korea as to what happens next if we were to take a move like that. in addition, andrea, if you're going to do something like that, you might have to take out other sites as well, so it's not just whether they're preparing that particular launch but other sites as well. it's a complicated maneuver doesn't allow you that much time to coordinate all of those activities. they have been told, i don't know where everything is. china may have better visibility than we do, their intel, but we don't have the best intelligence on taking everything out. >> that's exactly right. and david, i know you studied this quite a bit. the other question is the president's strategy at this point is to try to convince china to pressure pyongyang to

actu. to actually intervene kind of changes that calculus again, although i think the u.s. has demonstrated they're willing to use sites known and unknown. >> let's go to the nuclear test two weeks ago. was it only two weeks ago? exactly two weeks ago when the world was taken aback by the size, the scale of this. they kplamd it wclaimed it was blast, but the bottom line is it is big. >> it's big enough to destroy cities so it a much greater threat and requires a much greater reaction. we'll learn more details about the design. it probably has thermonuclear material in it. i'm skeptical. it's an advanced stage 2 h-bomb. if they learned how to make an h-bomb, they can make it any size they want. they can expand to a megabomb, make it two times larger.

i think we'll know more as time goes on, but the bottom line is it was 10 times larger than their last test. it can seriously damage any city in the world and much needs to be done to try to, first, fracture north korea. we have to keep in mind the goal is to try to negotiate a denuclearization arrangement. >> and one of the problems which you just alluded to is if you're going to do something preem preemptively, you have to carry out that threat. there has been a mismatch with the rhetoric which has run hot and cold as well as the design and splaplanning. this is what hillary clinton had to say in an extraordinarily long interview with rachel maddow. >> this is my concern. diplomacy with north korea is complicated. it requires people who know the language, the customs, the history. we have decimated our state department. foreign service officers with decades of experience have

either been ignored or, in some cases, pushed so hard that they have resigned. right now we need the best people we can. to have a full course on diplomacy and then we can see realistically where we are. >> this coupled with what she said was a lack of diplomacy, hollowing out of the foreign service skand the state department, it's reaching a critical stage. >> you not only have north korea, you have iran and other issues. you need a full court press with our diplomacy, our economic sanctions, our military. it's a delicate dance and choreography and you have to pressure a little bit with potential force, press can sanctions and you have diplomats out there making the case and coordinating with allies. she's not wrong, obviously, but north korea demands the greatest amount of delicacy and

diplomacy. >> you allude to iran. next week they're concluding meetings on iran. they've passed a critical deadline, david, just in the last 24 hours of not breaking out of iran. >> they want the sanctions again on iran. our president doesn't like this deal and he has to thread the neelgd to come up with a new iran policy which is probably a new nuclear deal. >> you have to get the british and the french on board to remove other clauses of the deal

peop people. it's all a part of peace, isn't it? >> absolutely. you have to gain the trust. >> trust. well, we trust you guys. good to see you both. coming up, what's the deal? confusion growing over the president's possible compromise with dreamers. congressman charlie dent who is retiring after this term, joins me next. we'll talk about all of that. stay with us. boost. it's about moving forward, not back. it's looking up, not down. it's being in motion.

serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

welcome back. the president has reached across the aisle, as you know, to chuck schumer and nancy pelosi the last 48 hours, but will there actually be legislation coming out of this to protect the dreamers without paul ryan? nothing gets to the floor without the speaker, so what is the prospect for that? pennsylvania republican congressman charlie dent joins me now. welcome, good to see you. we'll talk a lot about where you're going and why you're going, but let's talk first about the dreamers and whether ryan will pull together his caucus and work with democrats to put something on the floor. >> sure, andrea. thank you for having me on the program. of course, there will be sufficient votes to pass some legislation to protect these dreamer children, the daca children. the votes are there. there is a very simple compromise. as soon as the president -- when he rescinded his executive order, we all knew that the compromise would be this. protect the daca children and border security enhancements.

that's the deal that has been more or less discussed. we have to work out the details, but i see a very simple, clean path forward on this. >> what about the disagreement over path to citizenship, quote, amnesty, and all the rest that has really broken out in the last 24 hours? >> well, there are four dreamer bills, if you will. i believe all of them provide some kind of a pathway ultimately to citizenship. carlos crabelo of florida, he has a bill i'm very much behind, i've cosponsored. that would allow those currently employed, going to college, serving in the armed forces, it would give them a path forward assuming they pass the vetting. i don't think there is much of a debate on either side of the aisle right now making sure these children who, at the very least, will be here on a legal status but ultimately they'll be citizens because we all know these children came here, no fault of their own, at a very

early age and they don't have a recollection of any country except this one. >> the senate appropriaters had a conversation with the web saying a retreat from the world cannot advantage americans. they said it serves only to weaken america's standing in the world. what is your view of where we stand now with all these crises? >> well, andrea, i agree with what the senate report has said. the state department budget requests sent over by o & b was shortsighted to say the least. america must be engaged in the world. we must make sure our diplomatic and our development tools are available. we can't solve all of our problems through the armed forces, through the defense budget alone. we must double down on our

alliances. i just returned from north afri africa. we were in nigeria and twe need them to help us. that's all part of the triad chltriad. you heard what general petraeus said, if it doesn't go through, we'll all need more bullets. >> this is what the secretary of state had to say about his chief goals, his legacy, if you will. >> the most important thing i can do is to enable this organization to be more effective, more efficient and for all of you to take greater satisfaction in what you do day in and day out. >> so he's talking about the budget cuts, the job freeze, the efficiencies. every agency has waste, there's no question about that. but he has a completely different view of his mission. >> well, the secretary of state

tillerson has been put in a very tough spot. the budget cuts proposed by the administration largely came out of omb, and i think the secretary is in a bad position. that's the bad news. the good news is before the end of the year, the house and senate will resolve this. we have to pass a bipartisan, bicameral agreement. i propose we'll review the cuts by the administration and they won't have to deal with this. i believe he was put in a bad spot. i think these cuts came from omb. i don't think there was a lot of thought in those cuts. they thought the foreign assistant budget is just an easy place to go. if we're not going to touch entitlement programs, that only leaves state budget programs and that's probably the easiest target. we'll fix this and restore it in november. >> i have to ask about your own plans. why have you decided not to run again?

>> andreya, i've been thinking about this since 2013. i've served 14 years in the pennsylvania general assembly, it will be 14 years in this office of congress. i'm 13-0. might as well go out while i'm on top. but i've had frustrations, too. since 2013 with the government shutdown, i started thinking about when i'll leave congress. that's been part of it. over the course of the last several months, i had conversations with my family at length, and i said this summer i would not seek reelection and will announce it after labor day. i intend to be a strong voice for this country, whether it's in congress or outside of congress, because i think right now there is too much polarization skpand at least a paralysis, and there are a lot of people on the outside who profit all of this. members of congress don't get a whole lot of credit for reaching agreement on, say, the debt ceiling or even this daca situation and border security. there is not a lot of reward in seeking consensus and compromise, and i think we need

to build support for members of congress who want to do this. >> as you know, we all rely on people like you who care about reaching compromise and about governing. we'll be talking to you for a long time to come. thank you so much for today, charlie dent in pa. shaming sessions. new reports that president trump berated his attorney general over the russia investigation. the top democrat on the house senate committee, coming up. stay with us for live reports on msnbc. st trades and high-yield savings. but if that's not enough, we offer innovative investing tools to prepare you for the future. looks like you hooked it. and if that's not enough, we'll help your kid prepare for the future. don't hook it kid. and if that's still not enough, we'll help your kid's kid prepare for the future. looks like he hooked it. we'll do anything... takes after his grandad.

i was ordered to appear today before the grand jury. i answered questions and i've been dismissed. >> what types of questions were you asked? >> that's all i have to say. >> jason maloni, the spokesman for paul manafort, the former campaign chairman from the trump campaign, testifying before the robert mueller grand jury today here in washington. president trump's humiliation of his own attorney general over his appointment of robert mueller or permitting the

appointment of robert mueller went well beyond anything we've already known. the "new york times" reportsing that sessions was disciplined over that and even calling sessions an idiot. they told associates the public scolding was the most humiliating experience of his life and i thought of quitting. elijah cummings joins me now. first of all, it's good to see you. i know you've been through a lot. it's good to see you back in action. >> i'm glad to be back. >> i'm sure all your colleagues are glad as well. witnesses today seem to be zero ng on manafort and also maybe following your lead, zooming in on michael flynn and michael flynn's son. a lot going on there. what do we know?

>> clearly there is a lot going on. this criminal investigation now is moving, i think, at a high speed. andrea, there have been, to me, from what we've seen, some clear violations of the law with regard to michael flynn, and of course we referred our findings to special counsel mueller. what we learned here recently was that flynn made trips to the middle east attempting to make a deal with a russian-american deal go through with regard to the production of nuclear material. and it was very interesting that he did this in 2015. but he never disclosed this on

his application for security clearance. and that in and of itself is a violation of the law. there is a five-year prison sentence, and so i would expect that very soon, we'll be hearing from those who are very close to mr. flynn and mr. flynn himself, general flynn himself, with regard to a grand jury wanting to hear answers as to why that took place and how it took place. >> in fact, congressman, there is some indication that he was still working on these deals for his lobbying firm while he was already not only in the transition but in the white house as national security adviser, as brief as that tenure was. >> now, that is ridiculous. that's exactly right, andrea. i think it was the "wall street journal" that reported that he continued to work with these companies trying to promote

their interests, and he did it not only as a transition team member, not only as an adviser to the candidate, but also after he became national security adviser. so we want to know exactly what kind of communications there were between the companies that hired him to travel overseas to promote this nuclear deal. number two, we want to know what kind of communications took place between these companies and not only flynn but perhaps the president or the president's administration or advisers. and finally, we want them to come in. the folks from these various companies that hired flynn, we want them to come in and tell us exactly how this thing -- how all this happened, and by the way, andrea, whether it's still

going on. it may very well be that this was a major thing that he wanted to accomplish. he traveled all over the world to do it. so we want to know exactly is it still going on and what were the communications with regard to it. this is a violation of the law and we're very serious about it. by the way, it comes under the jurisdiction of our committee because one of our main concerns are security clearances and making sure people that get the information at the highest level of our government, the secret information, that they should have it and should be entitled to it and that they're not using it for the benefit of themselves or benefit of foreign governments, of foreign persons. and if they are, we need -- that needs to be disclosed. it was not disclosed in these instances. >> and on another subject, i want to ask you about things

that were said in air force i yesterday and what happened in charlottesville where the president seemed to try to correct what he had to say. this is what he said on air force i about charlottesville. >> and if you look at what's going on there, you know, you have some pretty bad dudes on the other side and essentially that's what i said. now because of what's happened since then, with antifa, you look at, you know, really what's happened since charlottesville -- a lot of people are saying in fact a lot of people have actually written, gee, trump might have a point, i said, and you got some very bad people on the other side also, which is true. >> you have him on the other side talking about white supremacist. >> i think the president really

needs to be about the business of bringing this country together. we have enough division in our kun, and i think that some of the things that he says only causes people to turn against each other as opposed to turning toward each other. andrea, i tell you, i wish i could take the president to johns hopkins hospital when he stayed over 45 days, and i tell people the doctors who treated me, all american citizens, i would say how the of the maybe 30 or 40, 90% of them were from foreign countries. and so -- that's what it's all about. our diversity is not our problem, it is our promise. and i'm hoping the president will find ways to unite the country. after all, that is what a president is supposed to do. that's what takes us to that more perfect union. >> elijah cummings, so glad you're back stronger than ever. thank you very much. >> i'm glad, too. all right now. good seeing you. coming up, more on hillary

and the fact that there is no strategic plan, there is just a reactive, emotional, visceral kind of behavior. >> hillary clinton's brutal assessment on donald trump, on the president in her hour-long interview last night with rachel maddow. let's get the inside scoop with "new york times" political reporter and msnbc contributor and deputy editorial page and columnist. welcome both. ruth, you've covered hillary clinton for a long time. she was about as clear and transparent last night as i've ever seen her. >> well, she's got nothing left to lose. she lost the presidency. she spent a lot of months stewing about, thinking about, and writing a book about what happened. and she's also got some important and passionate things to say about president trump that i think suggest that she's

not -- she doesn't want to just walk in the woods in chappaqua. she's got a lot of things to say. >> she still has contact with a lot of people in her campaign. she's stunned by the job freeze, with the diplomats in a critical place to negotiate things like north korea. >> that's right. a big part of her legacy at the state department, as her supporters see it, was to rebuild the morale after the bush administration, really make it a central player in diplomacy and world affairs, and rex tillerson really has not done that. he has a very different agenda. he said that he is focused on efficiency at the expense, perhaps, of some of the attritional strengths and capabilities of the state

department. so i think it's one area where hillary clinton probably has a lot to say and it's based on a lot of experience. >> one of the other questions was, did she fear prosecution now with all the threats coming from the white house and with the chance of "lock her up" at rallies before the election and since. here was her response. >> when i first heard that, especially at these rallies that were inciting violence and insulting people and all the rest of it, i thought it was bizarre, kind of, you know, really unbecoming for someone who is running for president. then when they moved it into his convention and it was being done from the platform and people were chanting it and screaming it, i thought, wow, this is unlike anything i have ever read about or seen in presidential conventions.

>> now, it's also an issue, just the whole question of gender is one of the issues she's been addressing not only in her book but in these interviews. gender became an issue, apparently, by ashley parker, ruth, for nancy pelosi at that white house dinner with wilbur ross, chuck schumer and the president, a bunch of fairly talkative people. at one point she apparently said, can a woman get a word in here? she is the democratic leader. >> i know you've never been talked over at a meeting, andrea, and neither have i and neither have any women out there. i just -- i'm actually working on a column on exactly this subject and it's not done yet. but -- >> give us a peek. >> i thought it was fascinating that she's the only woman in this room, 11 people around the table, she's the only woman. she takes that moment and she says, hey, can a woman get a word in here?

contrast that, actually, with something from hillary clinton's book where she talks about how when donald trump, as she describes it, was stalking her around the stage, she had to make this calculation should she turn around and say, hey, cut it out, you creep, get away from me, or would that alienate too many people behold see her as an angry woman? i think, actually, each of them made the right strategic decision at that point. but, boy, you have to think about nancy pelosi at dinner in the hillary clinton white house, and by definition, she wouldn't be the only one in the room, and i suspect there wouldn't just be two women there, either. >> indeed. nick, finally the whole ethics question about the lack of sensitivity, many have said, richard painter and others, have complained about the way this administration handles ethics. and here you have the treasury

secretary fielding questions about a request to use an official government military plane on his honeymoon. what's going on there? >> that's a great question. you have to ask yourself, a guy who is worth over 1$100 million why is he requesting a government plane he's not entitled to for a honeymoon? steve mnuchin, the president's secretary, has gone on the offensive saying it's fake news, he never got a plane. but of course the story is that he asked for a plane and it doesn't appear the treasury secretary is on the list of government officials who are entitled to travel on military planes in all circumstances for security reasons. i do think there is just a loosey-goosey approach to a lot of these issues in the trump white house. we have kind of yet to see what the nature of ethics enforcement will be. there is actually a new czar on

ethics that appears to be taking a lighter touch. you can say a lot of things if you want about the obama administration, but they were actually pretty tight about a lot of these things. when nominees disclose they hadn't paid taxes, steve mnuchin didn't disclose a large bit of his financial records and it was a discussion for two days. coming up, buddy-buddy schumer reports is what he thinks the president really thinks of him.

chuck schumer to be caught on mike? and does it -- >> you tell me, i don't know. it is kind of comical. but i was thinking about that dinner they had, the 11 of them in the white house, to make policy for america. i think every single person at that dinner was from snoeshg or san francisco, with the exception of john kelly. a bunch of extremely wealthy new yorkers and people from bicoastal elites, making in this case, probably, a good policy decision. >> how would that be different from a meeting with republican leaders? >> the republican leaders are from the midwest and south. >> and all white men. >> that's true. >> paul ryan, mitch mcconnell, whatever you think of them. i was amused by the populist side of this. what happened to this great white house, these billionaires from new york. >> i get it. >> the truth s trump has no ideological core. he wants to, quote, win, he loves getting good press and in this case he realized he can sell out some of his supporters

but get -- make a deal with democrats. >> let me play chuck schumer and ask you how democrats feel about him. >> he likes us. he likes me anyway. look, what we said was exactly accurate. here's what i told him. i said, mr. president you're much better off if you can sometimes step right and sometimes step left. if you have to step in just one direction, you're boxed. he gets that. >> i think that for a lot of -- especially for folks on the left, it just makes folks uncomfortable that he wants to be so closely tied to this president. the issue they're talking about is 1.5 million undocumented d.r.e.a.m.ers and that includes the 800,000 already on board and those aspiring to be d.r.e.a.m.ers. this is something republicans and democrats across the country are actually pushing for. and that they've been held very much at bay because you have a

small republican core that don't want this to be passed. if they're going to negotiate on anything, it's about human lives and the future of this country. >> let me ask both of you, there's such support and empathy for d.r.e.a.m.ers, but what about in republican circles, amnesty or what they call path to citizenship. doesn't there have to be something at the end of the rainbow? >> i think talk about embarrassing, and it's the same problem, i guess like would he have had too. he's president of the united states. you have to encourage him to dot right thing. chuck schumer has spent a lot of time on immigration. i don't begrudge him if he thinks, i can do something good for policy direction, i'm going to sit at the white house with donald trump. if i were a liberal, i'd be telling chuck schumer, you don't want to legitimize the trump presidency.

when was charolettesville, one month ago. if you had told me -- we were on together. he's doing these things truly outrageous, i have one saying the guy is -- >> ra by refusing to have conference call. >> suddenly chuck shumer and nancy pelosi joking around. chuck schumer saying, he kind of likes me. i think you have to be careful. the stuff i care about, if mcmaster and kelly can make policy better, that's good. but i don't think you want to let go of the fact that trump has done and said things as president he shouldn't have done and said. >> in fact, we talk about a month ago, how about 24 hours ago on air force one what he said about antifa, retreating to his position that these were bad dudes on the other side. >> i think that's what the progressives will look at specifically when it comes to the d.r.e.a.m.ers is the devil is going to be in the details. at the same time, i think that lowcy -- she's a toughy. she's not going to let him get away with saying, do you like me

or not? >> if she gets a word in edgewise. >> that was funny. >> she basically asked for her time back, which was wonderful. in all fairness, schumer when he said he likes me, he's referring to maybe he doesn't like nancy and maybe that's a good thing. good cop/bad cop. >> i don't know. we shouldn't let chuck schumer off the hook so easily. he should be embarrassed that was overheard. it's so high school about it. he likes me. who cares. >> i think that's a fundamental psychology among most electeds that they want to be fundamentally liked. that was one of bill clinton's issues. that's why he worked so well with beginning rigingrich. i'm not giving him a pass. when he gets riled up going into a rally when what he's saying is absolutely atrocious. >> there is something to it. the politicians who are the most successful, except perhaps barack obama, really want to be

liked, want to have these relationships with capitol hill. fascinating. to be continued. >> unusual time. >> i'll see you in new york at the united nations next week because the whole world is coming to new york city. >> traffic will be bad. traffic will be horrible. isn't the hurricane -- >> it's the tropical storm jose. we don't know the path yet but there's a warning. speaking of warnings, the massive clean-up from hurricane irma continuing today in the virgin islands and across the caribbean. the immediate concern for residents whose homes are still standing remains power outage and lack of cell phone service. a mix of u.s. virgin islands residents and american citizens vacationing on the island are making their way by boat to puerto rico. some to regroup, others to make arrangements to get back home. stay with us right here on msnbc.
