7:33 am
>> he's already there, isn't he? >> he's there in a certain way. but i'm not there yet. obama is there. frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under obama. with all the strength you're talking about and all the power of nato and ail of this. in the meantime, he takes crimea. >> hillary clinton's campaign said in a statement, quote, this is scary stuff, and yet more proof why donald trump is unfit and totally unqualified to be general michael hayden, good morning. >> good morning. >> do you agree with hillary clinton? >> well, it certainly was a fact-free description of what's going on in the ukraine. >> do you agree with what she said? totally unfit and unqualified to be commander in chief -- >> that would add to a wbody of evidence that would dra one towards that conclusion. there is a chance to recover. right now, that statement there again, devoid of facts and
7:34 am
i mean, that was the violent change of a european border with the annexation of crimea which he says he might be fine with at some point in the future. beyond just what's happening in the ukraine, can you actually live with a europe in which you can change borders based upon popular sovereignty? how much more violent would the continent become? >> what do you make of the vladimir putin saying nice things about donald trump. donald trump saying nice things about vladimir putin. what's the big takeaway here? >> we have developed elements of strategy within the trump campaign. one of those elements is a far more cooperative relationship with the russian federation than we have had since the invasion of georgia in 2008. it also appears to be a fairly cost-free engagement for the
7:35 am
and allowing certain forms of russian behavior in return for russian cooperation on other joint problems. now, look, i like the part about the russian cooperation, but i do think actions have consequences. the occupation of crimea, the continued occupation of portions of the ukraine, the threat to the baltics, the unacceptable behavior, the cyber attacks which we're pretty certain that the russians are accommodation while that kind of behavior continues. >> three questions about the russian cyber attack. number one, are we convinced they did it? is everybody in the intelligence community convinced they did it? did they do it because they want to manipulate the election? three, how do we retaliate. >> i think they did it. you saw jim clapper cutely say only a limited number who could
7:36 am
in the cyber domain, sometimes you can't get to that court of law beyond no reasonable doubt. i think the rab russians did it. the stealing of the data, that's generally accepted state espionage. stealing that stuff is what big nations, including our own do to other big nations. they did something else, though. they weaponized the information. they used a minimum play with our heads. i really don't think he's got the wisdom, the cleverness, to use the data to affect the outcome of the campaign. putin. i think he's just playing with our heads. he thinks we do this to him all the time. he thinks we did the orange revolution. he thinks we did the rose revolution. he's trying to give us a taste of our own medicine. with regard to retaliation, you
7:37 am
domain. this becomes part of that broad package of russian behavior requiring a broader -- to my view, tougher american response. >> i'm sorry. >> okay. there are reports that there are going to be daily briefings for donald trump and hillary clinton, security briefings. what exactly does that mean and do you think this is a good idea for both candidates? >> it's a necessary idea. it's not quite what the constitution requires. it's not written down, but it is our protocol. you get both of those parties, you are titled to some classified information. >> it was suggested that donald trump get fake briefings. >> yeah, you can't -- >> harry reid. >> the cities president has to treat both candidates perfectly equally. they're not going to get daily briefings. they're too busy. i suspect we may have a few. and it's just a few seminar-like discussions. this is going to look like one
7:38 am
steroids. this isn't going to be let me show you the covert actions. they're busy, all right? but even candidates less talkative than mr. trump are frightened about trying to sort out in their minds when they get the unexpected question from folks like yourself, did i learn that in the briefing or did i read that in the paper. and they want to keep those challenges to a minimum until election day. >> you have someli been reported that they are concerned about donald trump having these briefings. you have paul ryan suggesting that he's concerned about hillary clinton having these briefings. what's your level of concern about each of them having these briefings? >> saying those things is unprecedented. this should be normal. this is just routine run of the american electoral process. you have candidates that have done and said things that make
7:39 am
suitability, but they're going to get it. >> do you think they're going to tell these candidates everything they tell the president of the united states? >> the briefings between now and the election will be very vanilla. that will be classified light. somebody after the first tuesday, first monday is getting the president's daily brief. you take ohio, you take florida, you take pennsylvania, that's all you need to get the secrets. >> coming more time. there was story that paul manafort had a relationship with a woman. but is there anything here we should look at? >> the circumstantial evidence really does suggest an interest plot line. but charlie, to my mind, that's all you have to date. that would be just one hypothesis. this could very well be the
7:40 am
guy, the guy who makes decisions, and i can deal with the tough guy. now, that can be fed by the relationships that other members of his campaign team have had before. >> he said said maybe if russia can help defeat isis, why wouldn't that be a good idea to form a partnership with them. >> exactly right. that's the point. that's not just trump's campaign plan it's actually the current administration's plan at the moment. >> general, always good to have you here. >> from flooding to teis the rush to keep the rio olympics from being a complete washout. and if you're heading out the door we hope you don't do it right now. you can watch us live on the app. we know you don't want to miss actor david oyelowo. he'll be in studio 57 to discuss. we'll be right back. ning the ov! yeah, i'm cleaning the gutters! washing the dog! washing the cat! well i'm learning snapchamp!

8:03 am
asked his wife if he wanted to speak. >> she said you know my condition. when i see my son's picture, i cannot hold myself together. for this candidate for presidency to not be aware of the respect of a gold star mother standing there and he had to take that shot at her, this is height of ignorance. >> during his convention speech, khan also said that trump had sacrificed nothing and no one. in response, donald trump said his sacrifices came in the form of jobs he created. >> an investigation into donald trump's hiring practices shows he recently filed visa applications to bring in foreign workers. he filed applications this month claiming he couldn't find enough americans to do that work and is seeking temporary visas to bring in 65 workers. trump responded in an interview
8:04 am
>> if you look at all of the other places in palm beach, they're all doing exactly -- you know why they're doing that? because you can't get people. >> what do you think a voter thinks when you say i can't find american workers? >> i think the voter understands it. you know, you're not reinventing the wheel here with these questions. these questions get asked all the time. i have many other places where i don't have to do that because you have a normal season. >> in ohio yeer clinton said that donald trump is concerned with making more money, not making america great. >> he goes around saying he wants to put america first and america workers first. and then just today we learned once again he's asked for visas to employ foreign workers at his country clubs because he says he can't find any american workers.

>> clinton will appear today in nebraska with billionaire investor warren buffett. trump campaigns in ohio and pennsylvania. tomorrow, donald trump's son eric will be here in studio 57. in florida this morning, it is all but certain that four zika cases came from local mosquitos. more are expected in that region. well over 1,600 travel-related cases are reported in the continental u.s. and hawaii and women with signs of zika. in the meantime congress went on a summer recess without approving funds to fight zika. now they want members to cut their break short. we have the doctor in bethesda, maryland this morning. hello dr. fay uci. why are authorities so confident
8:06 am
because there are no evidence at all that these individuals did not travel identify the continental united states. there's no evidence they've had any kind of contact with other people who have zika. the obvious conclusion of this that this is local spread through mosquitos which was not at all unexpected given the number of travel-related cases that we know are in the united states, many of which are concentrated in florida. >> do you expect additional local cases? >> i think there will be no doubt that we're going to see additional cases. this is something that was expected. it was predicted. the critical issue now is to prevent these locally acquired cases from becoming sustained and disseminated. there's a lot of activity going on locally by the local health authorities of very aggressive mosquito abatement control in order to prevent this spread
8:07 am
county area. >> how do you do that? >> you can actually eliminate standing water which mosquitos very vigorously pro create there. they lay their eggs in water, get larvae and get adults. when i say standing water, even small little bottle caps. that's one way. the other way is by killing the larvae. spraying either with backpack type spraying or aerial press on that right now. >> the white house asked for a big funding, $1.9 billion back in february. congress is now in recess. how big a problem is it that that money is not available to fight this disease? >> it fundamentally is a big problem to begin with. as we're getting now into august, the beginning of august, we have had -- i mean the cdc and nih and others, have had to
8:08 am
things that we do to get our effort going. we are going to very soon relation out of money to do that. it really is unfortunate that that money has not been appropriated. >> should they come back early from break, as is being suggested? >> i don't know what the mechanism is, gayle, by something needs to be done. >>ty for joining us this morning. it could take months for a small maryland town to recover from flooding. surging water killed two people in ellicott city west of baltimore. many residents helped each other to survive. dramatic video shows people linking arms to save a woman from her car. other cars were swept away. >> pictures tell the story there. flash flooding destroyed several homes and businesses. cars ended up stacked on top of one another like toy cars. the governor declared a state of emergency for the county. flash flood watches this mork

8:12 am
ce where fungal infections are common or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for... heart failure, or if you have persistent... fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. good is good is contagious. and once it gets going there is no stopping what you can do. get your good going. blue diamond almonds. proud sponsor of the us swim team my sweethearts gone sayonara. this scarf all thats left to remem... what! she washed this like a month ago

i consume a lot of it is very acidic. the enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. the whiteness wasn't there as much. my teeth didn't look as healthy as others. my dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. so it was really important to start using the pronamel. it'll be one less thing you have to worry about. pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that i'm doing the right thing. so it's nice to know that it's as simple as that. ? ?? i don't want to lie down. i refuse to lie down. why suffer? stand up to chronic migraine... with botox?. botox? is the only treatment for chronic migraine shown to actually prevent headaches and migraines before they even start. botox? is for adults with chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more.
8:14 am
effects of botox? may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don't take botox? if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. don't take your chronic migraine lying down.

? instagram is taking new action to stop online harassment. move comes as many celebrities lash out against cyber hate. in march, tia ashley graham also called out critics who accused her on social media of looking too thin. and ghostbusters star leslie jones took her frustration public after her twitter account was attacked with racist and sexist tweets. she talked about it with seth meyers. >> what's scary about the whole thing is that the insults didn't hurt me. unfortunately, i'm used to insults. that's unfortunate.
8:16 am
against you for such a sick cause. >> yeah. >> dan ackerman, good morning. instagram has had policies on this for a while, but this is a new thing. what's new about it? >> they're starting to rollout for high profile accounts, people get a lot of traffic and comments and likes on their post, the ability to put in keyword filters so you can have certain words not show up in comments or turn af comments entirely. some of these high profile accounts feel like they need that. >> twitter has been doing something too, but not everybody can do the same thing. >> on instagram, they're starting with the more famous people, the people who have a lot of traffic. they'll eventually roll that out to other people. for twitter, it's a whole other problem. the platforms are intrinsically different. it's hard to think that the same solution that works on one is
8:17 am
>> do you agree that everybody has to come up with something? >> at this point, everyone does need to have plan and be more proactive about it. but you also can't go too far. it's how people get news and information, have this robust back and forth conversation. how do you do that and not turn it into a safe bubble where you don't hear any news or opinions that you're not comfortable with. how do you make it robust -- >> without sanitizing it. >> that's people and keeping people from feeling free to participate. >> is instagram now the preferred medium for celebrities? >> yeah. a lot of brands, a lot of celebrities. less news right now, especially because they moved to a format that's in a weighted feed where twitter is still very realtime. >> including donald trump. >> that's right, apparently. and he's making a lot of news on
8:18 am
you know, you want to be able to encourage respectful debate, even aggressive debate. just not hate mongering and sheer nastiness. >> it's easier on facebook where you have to put your real name and everything like that. on instagram where you're posting a picture and people can leave comments. but it's a lopsided conversation. on twitter, that's where it's the most difficult. if you tweet something and you quote it, those are all equal ig you can't pit a filter onto control what you're saying on your twitter feed. >> what is this becoming? >> i think it's becoming the first place people go to post personal things, but it's also increasingly becoming the first place you go to post that sort of few to many conversations where if you're a celebrity or brand, you're promoting a movie. let's hope for news people like us, because you can't put a long
8:19 am
for that, yet. but it's become the safe place for people to go who get scared off of twitter. >> you posted about a lot of unread e-mails and people blasted you. why? >> i made a mistake of writing a story for the print magazine and posted about how i ballooned to 120,000 unread e-mails. it was a story of how overwhelmed with unread communication. people felt the need to tell me that. >> just declare e-mail bankruptcy and start over. >> now down to inbox zero. >> is that term of art? e-mail bankruptcy. i'm done, i'm never going to reply to you. we're going to start fresh. >> aren't you afraid of missing something important? >> anything that's important, they'll call. >> thank you, dan.
