back now with our panel, paul begala, dana loesch and joan walsh, a few years back, olbermann's editorh's criticisms of political contributions seem utterly hypocritical now that it's clear he's done the same thing, would you say? >> i don't know. the guy -- he's a liberal, obviously, and he gave money to liberals, congressman grijalva is the chairman of the progressive caucus and keith's a progressive. i suppose what's fair for one, obviously, he did criticize fox news, which gave $1 million, and that was apparently legal under the citizens united ruling from the supreme court. so i guess it's -- you know, it's not my network, it's not my job, it seems to me an employment dispute. msnbc says he violated the rule so i guess they've got to sanction him for him, but to me it's not that big a deal. >> you're not surprised at all? you don't think anybody be surprised due to his opinions on the air? >> i'd be surprised if he gave money to michele bachmann, but it seems to me, not even dog bites man, it's like dog barks. what the heck? >> joan, you know keith but you think the decision may b

paul whelan in prison. and from london, nick paton walsh, who sat down with victor bout for the very last interview he ever did with the western reporter. we want to start with phil mattingly. what are you reporting, phil? >> you know anderson, there were months of fits and starts, arduous negotiations, where this really crystallized over the course of the last 72 hours. just a few days ago, brittney griner was removed from a penal connally to moscow, a clear and concrete signal to administration officials that what had long been thought as a possible deal was very much coming together. they summoned cherelle griner to the white house, telling her that she was going to get an update. national security adviser, jake sullivan, about ho w things were going. however, cherelle griner arrived, she was actually lead back into the oval office not knowing exactly what was going on. there, she was met by president biden, it was president biden who had told his team, he wanted to deliver the message. the message that the deal had been complete. britney griner was on her way home, the two were speaking when president

walsh. soon after, a source says that a substantial tip came in leading them to believe paul jackson had beeng out in mexico for several years. nearly a quarter century after he fled, paul jackson was arrested monday leaving a hotel in guadalajara, on his way to work. one woman says she hopes it brings closure. >> it's like it brings all the emotions again. i hoped this day would happen but never actually believed it would. >> cnn learned overnight jackson was extradited back to the united states. cnn, new york. >> so jackson is expected to be in a los angeles court tomorrow morning for an extradition hearing. joining me now is john walsh, with cnn's "the hunt." john you said you were saddened and sickened that this character was still out there. so what is year reaction now that he is behind bars? >> truly thrilled, jake, it proves to me once again if you show the creeps on television and it's a privilege to do "the hunt" with cnn, and i had shown these guys several times on america's most wanted. but it proves to me if you give a tip, find a way to leave a type anonymously, there is no need

paul whelan in prison. and from nick mate on the walsh. i want to start with phil mattingly. what have you learned? >> there were months of fits and starts, arduous negotiations where this really crystallized over the course of the last 72 hours. just a few days ago, brittney griner was moved from a penal colony to moscow, a clear and concrete signal to administration officials that what had long been thought as a possible deal was very much coming together. they summoned cherelle griner to the white house that she was going to get an update from jake sullivan about how things were going. when cherelle griner arrived, she was led back into the oval office, not knowing what was going on. there she was met by president biden. it was president biden who told his team he wanted to deliver the message, the message that the deal had been complete and brittney griner was on her way home. the two were speaking when president biden was actually informed by his aides that brittney griner was securely in the hands of u.s. officials. shortly thereafter, she was on the phone on speakerphone with president biden

walsh, thank you very much. be careful. joining us now to make us understand how it fits, terrorism analyst, paul cruickshank and michael wise author of isis army of terror. if this is isis how big a development is that? >> it's absolutely stunning development. isis a fledgling presence in yemen. this is the worst terror tack ever in yemen and that takes a lot of doing as you can imagine. i think the strategy if it was isis is similar to the isis strategy with the bombing at the golden mosque in somora. the sunnis will be driven to the embrace of the jihadis. i think that's the strategy in yemen to tip the country into civil war, increase sectarian discord over there. >> michael, any reason to believe it's not isis? >> i think it probably is for the reasons paul has given. founder of isis abu czarzarkowi, it was driven between the core al qaeda branch. he was the one who blew up the golden mosque conduct beheadings and going after the shia. the goal to prompt overreaction by the shia that would lead to ethnic cleansing and grounds against sunnis thereby driving sunnis into isis or iraq's embrace. if you look at what happened

. >> well, congressman joe walsh there, he can't even bring himself to be in the same room with president obama tomorrow night, nor can congressman paulrown. he'll be watching from his office. louisiana senator david vitter will be awol watching the saints game. senator da mint says he's probably not going. gop probably won't even be giving a televised response. in case you think the republicans have a lock on partisan or childishness, house minority leader pelosi said "the republican's refusal to respond to the president's proposal and jobs is not only disrespectful to him but to the american people". that's hardly the point. the point is nothing now is too trivial not to pick up and sling at the other side. the end result, nothing gets done. we did some checking. the current congress is on track to be the least productive on record. lawmakers only managing to pass 28 bills so far. 28 bills. the last three congresses with the house under both democratic and republican control doesn't matter, all averaged three times that number. nothing's getting done. nobody seems to like it. a new "wall street journal" nbc poll puts the job approva

development, anderson, tonight is deirdre walsh on capitol hill confirmed a "the washington post" report that the trump campaign through armstrong williams is reaching out to paul ryan to try to get ben carson, trump emissary to meet with ryan before the trump meeting. this is the kind of thing that happens at the state department before you have a meeting before a meeting so the meeting goes well. the fact that it is happening within the republican party among the house speaker and nominee is i think a bit telling. >> yeah. back with the panel. joining us, david walker, head of u.s. government accountability office. david, how do you see this playing out. this week and beyond? >> it is a mess now. i hope that the general election campaign will be about the future in policy rather than about the past and personalities. it is clearly going to be very different. i think ultimately speaker ryan and donald trump will reconcile. >> you think sooner rather than later? i think they'll reconcile. the speaker has a role to oversee the convention and has obligation to support the republican nominee. it is the republican voters that decide who the nominee is. quite frankl

walsh, thank you for speaking straight to us. >> thanks, jim. >> you have a good night. president trump weighs in again on his former campaign chairman, paulations are under way. and later, details on a horrible murder case in colorado where a father is suspected in killing his own two children and his own pregnant wife. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss.

walsh, thank you for speaking straight to us. >> thanks, jim. >> you a good night. coming up, president trump weighs in again on his former campaign chairman paulanafort, this as jury deliberations in the trial are under way. >>> and later, details on a horrible murder case in colorado where a father is suspected in killing his own two children and his own pregnant wife. t an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from an allergy pill? flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which most pills don't. it's more complete allergy relief. flonase. now t-mobile has unlimited for the rest of us. unlimited ways to be you. unlimited ways share with others. unlimited ways to live for the moment. all for as low as 30 bucks a line. unlimited for you. for them. for all. get unlimited for as low at 30 bucks per line for four lines at t-mobile. >>> in normal times, no president would even dare comment on an ongoing criminal trial. and in normal times, a president would definitely not weigh in on an ongoing criminal trial involving his own former campaign chairman who was accused of 18 felonies. and he wou

walsh. she also served as director of communications for the bush white house. she's also a novel it, the author of "eight teen acres kwmt". on the phone democratic strategy it paul begala. what do you make of this meeting and any potential signs for progress? >> what we thought was no drama obama sounds like a pretty dramatic meeting. i do think the only way you can get to a deal is if both sides want to deal. and the only way you get that is if the republicans believe that president would walk away if they don't meet him halfway or at least part of the way. it does seem to me untenable for one side to say, well, we'll even put social security on the table, which reported lit president has done. and the other side says, well, we won't put a nickel of revenue even from corporate loopholes on the table. it does seem like that's a pretty unfair negotiating strategy for republicans. and it looks like maybe it's blown up in their face. >> david gergen, your take on this and especially on this day where moody's is talking about reviewing a potential downgrade of our credit rating. >> anderson, i think the fact that meeting broke up in the way it did is extremely unfor

paul pelosi there but the ukrainian ambassador to the united states. >> mr. speaker, the president's cabinet. >> here is the cabinet of the united states. we will see -- we should note that marty walsho leave the administration. i'm kind of surprised he's not there. there is the secretary of state, anthony blinken, who recently cancelled his trip to china because of the chinese spy balloon controversy. he was supposed to go to china and have a high-level meeting with chinese leaders. and he cancelled that trip. there is janet yellen, the treasure secretary. behind her the secretary of defense, retired general lloyd austin. there is, of course, attorney general merrick garland, many democrats criticized for not acting strongly or more forcefully enough when it comes to prosecution of president trump. he recently appointed special counsels to take over the investigation into both biden and a separate one for trump. there is deborah holland, secretary of the interior and, of course, there is the -- there is -- i was going to say xavier becerra coming up in the back with the department of health and human services. you know, what's interesting, jamie, is marty walsh is leaving the admin
