a life on two wheels was nicky hayden's destiny.parents raced motorbikes on dirt tracks, and he and his two brothers and two sisters followed in their tyre tracks. nicknamed the kentucky kid, he was riding by the age of three, and racing from five. over the next 20 years, his journey led to the pinnacle of two wheeled motorsport, with the american beating valentino rossi to be crowned motogp champion in 2006. he raced in the top tier for the final time in australia in october 20 i6. for the final time in australia in october 20 16. that same year, he finished fifth, with honda in the world superbike championship, winning one race in malaysia. last wednesday, just a few days after racing at inler in italy, he was hit bya car racing at inler in italy, he was hit by a car whilst training on a bicycle in rimini. he suffered head and chest injuries which left him in and chest injuries which left him in an extremely critical condition. a statement from hospital said he died on monday afternoon. he was 35. nick pa rrott on monday afternoon

just a quick follow-up, general hayden. we can make some law by doing things that are accepted or accepted implicitly by the international community. we also can sit down and try to essentially do an agreement. we did it with the financial world after world war ii. we established these -- i don't sense any effort anywhere to try to do that. am i missing something? >> there has been an effort. michele markoff tries to use the u.n. to transfer the accepted laws of armed conflict here and transfer them into the cyber domain. she has been somewhat successful. beyond that though, senator, i think the real issue we have is, there's a big chunk of the world -- some of it comprises friends -- a big chunk who consider cyber security, preventing that for which we think we have the internet in the first place, which is the free flow of information. their definition of cyber security is control of data entering into their sovereign space. where ours is quite different. so we run head long into this lack of consensus. hence my approach

this is mike hayden the cia. c i don'tly understand we both have a responsibility for american safety and liberty. but i fear the way you're about to carry out your responsibilitt is going to make it morehe difficult for me to carry out mine. can we talk? and we would have a conversation, and to a degree that surprised most people, that's friend live conversation, and we generally get results. now, we don't often get, oh, okay,'ll rip it up. but there are modifications to the star or delays to the storyt occasionally agreements we won't go with this based on what you told me but if anybody else got it we will and if anybody else comes sniffing around you have to tell us. and if they do, we do. and they print the story. so you have this continuous negotiation in which we're trying to minimize and they're trying to maximize. that's as good as it's ever going to get. it's just the necessary tension. >> i watch you often on morning joe. >> thank you. but comes back to what seven soar steven said earlier that church w

former mot02 champion nicky hayden has died following a cycle crash in italy. but we start with news of david moyes departure as sunderland manager. his resignation today follows the club's relegation from the premier league. yesterday's 5—1 defeat to chelsea at stamford bridge his last in charge. but the end of their ten year stay in the top flight their ten year stay in the top flight was confirmed when they lost to bournemouth last month. short statement from sunderland confirming that david moyes has resigned. he has not taken compensation, something say that sunderland is testament to his character. david moyes has said in the statement, thanking sunderland and saying he wishes the players and his successof saying he wishes the players and his successor all the very best in their effo rts successor all the very best in their efforts towards promotion next season efforts towards promotion next season but it will not be david moyes who is leading that effort, it will be a new manager. perhaps we should not be surprised, david moyes himself said that his side

let me explore this with general hayden.s it possible kislyak was lying and that this was part of a disinformation campaign? that's not a question i would have asked but for the report this week about jim comey as fbi director having to deal with misinformation pertaining to loretta lynch. >> always a possibility, michael, given how much manipulation the russians were doing, how much fake news they were putting out there. by the way, fake news that some members of the trump campaign were pushing out forward into our own information sphere. my instincts here, michael, no, they weren't. this is kislyak reporting to home base along the lines of you won't believe what they just brought up to me. i think this is perhaps as off putting to kislyak as it is to you and me. goes so far out of the norm that he was probably shocked by the request as well. >> i take it this is unprecedented, general, that there are no such side arrangements for any particular nation where an administration sets up a back channel like this going through t

i like general hayden's points on private public. as i mentioned in my thoughts i would consider building a cyber core or cyber first responder also look at the beginning at the international aspects were refined that airplane trying to do significant reconstruction on it. if we could get the international community together i think there are lessons in those today as well. >> let me contradict what i said in my statement about if we could go back 20 years plus and start with a blank piece of paper. the notion of a cyber guard service patterned after the coast guard i'm not even sure needs to be a uniform service may be better if it weren't. that notion does have functional merit. it would've been easier if we had grown that from the get-go when this started. hindsight is 2020. >> i would like to add to that. this is me talking about myself. we can be fairly accused of militarizing the cyber to me. so but jim just suggested that if we had been smart enough in the '90s to have begun this with the coast guard model we may actually be i

mike hayden, let me start with you. you said on seeing the events of this week that it reminded you of nicaragua, or it made you think that america was turning into nicaragua. what did you mean? >> by that, fareed, i meant that the president was going beyond those normal restraints that you referred to. i mean, he was within his technical legal authority to fire jim comey, but the motivation was questionable. i don't mean that the motivation was in question. we know why he did it. it was the russian investigation. but that motivation is very questionable. and then he did it in the most thuggish manner. he used the power of his office to publicly humiliate jim comey, a public servant. i think a lot of people in the american government, fareed, senior leadership in what i call the permanent government, is going to school on that sequence of events. >> mike, let me ask you about that, because you were the head of two agencies that have often been non-partisan, particularly the nsa, and you are not yourself a political appo

your reaction, general hayden? >> well, wolf, i was stunned as anyone. director comey and i have history. we haven't always been on the same side of things in the bush administration. but he has been principled and been his own man. some of his critics say his own man almost to a fault. i thought he was the right guy for the clinton administration and russian investigations. it's surprising he is being fired for things he did in summer of 2016. those are tough decisions. i've second-guessed them as much as anyone but i recognized jim was off the matt there and. and as jeffrey pointed out, te didn't like what director comey did last summer. so i think the time to fire him for what he did last summer would have been in january when we were changing out a lot of people in government. i suspect he may be fired now for what he did last year, not because of last year, but perhaps because the administration thinks he might do it again this year with the current investigation. >> general hayden, that's a pretty extraordinary statement. do you want to elaborate?

at this saturday's hero's gala. >> hayden, congratulations. and why is it important for people to not just know about these events, but take part in these events? why is it important? >> i think it's a couple of different reasons. i think first, this is an incredibly kmajing time for the lgbtq community. and under this administration, people are fighting just on to hold on to the rights that we have. for the trans community in particular, even before the current administration, we were fighting for equity, transwomen of colorre the country. hiv and aids are off the charts. the level of struggle just to get through the day is so challenging and difficult. pride is place where we can come together, question learn about these issues. and we can support and fight back. and that's what we've got to do. >> what would you say is the biggest misconception about the transgender community? >> hmm. that's a really hard one for me, but i think -- um, i don't know, yeah, yeah. >> you can finish. >> yeah, i think that the biggest conception about the transc

bush administration, retired four-star general michael hayden.ppreciate you being here. >> thanks, jake. >> do you buy that this test means in the near future the north koreans will be able to hit the united states and regardless what should president trump be doing about this escalation? >> it depends on your definition of near. they have proven something in the last 48 hours, a real step function. if that thing had been suppressed, had gone other a normal trajectory, it goes out 2,800 miles, it can reach guam, but it's not intercontinental yet, and so the north koreans are -- here's the word i would use, jake. they are inexorably moving in the direction of a missile that can hit the pacific northwest of the united states with one of their own indigenously produced nuclear weapons. i actually think that is inevitable barring some dramatic change in course, and, jake, i don't know what causes a dramatic change in course. if that was obvious, several administrations would have already taken that course of action. i mean, the trump administration i

general michael hayden joins us after the break.f you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the 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. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you're pregnant or planning to be. ask your dermatologist about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. thereit comes to technology, about my small busine

hayden. >> well, right now i am goi going -- that's not particularly comforting for me. what manner of ignorance and chaos and contempt would you have to have to think that doing this with the russian ambassador was as good or appropriate idea. again, it does not make me feel good about many things. >> lets talk more about all of this with our california democrat who says kushner should be prosecuted for not disclosing all of his contact. thank you so much for joining us, what is your reaction to this latest recording on jared kushner. >> thank you, ana for your question. jared kushner should resign and he should be prosecuted for by lyi lying of his security clearance form. he failed to disclose the meeting with the russian ambassador. that was a significant meeting. you would not forget about that meeting on his security clearance form. when he was told to revise the form, he lied again because r t reuters reported there were two additi additional contactcontacts. >> back to what we are hearing in terms of the reports of the washington post of what officials, i should

i was struck by some comments by the cia director, former cia director mike hayden who made them this week about the contacts. he said "what manner of ignorance, chaos, hubris, suspicion, contempt would you have to have had to think that doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or appropriate idea? i know of no other experience like this in our history, certainly within my life experience." incredibly strong statement from heywarden. >> he's been a trump critic for a long time, general hayden, but he's former head of the nsa and former head of the cia. few people alive today know the intelligence world better than michael hayden, so make no mistake, when you hear those words from him, you know that those are views that are reflected by senior people currently in the intelligence community. the bigger question, though, martha, is what about jared kushner's role? as you mentioned at the top of the show, there is no adviser closer to the president, his office opens right into the oval office, he has taken on a portfolio bigger than anybody in the west wing, and you see -- you he

a long time, general hayden but he's former head of the nsa and former head of the cia. few people alive today know the intelligence world better than michael hayden so make no mistake, when you hear those words from him, you know that those are views that are reflected by senior people currently in the intelligence community. the bigger question, though, martha, is what about jared kushner's role? as you mentioned at the top of the show, there is no adviser closer to the president, his office opens right into the oval office. he has taken on a portfolio bigger than anybody in the west wing. and you see -- you hear people now very close to the president openly saying that it is too much. that he now finds himself at the center of this investigation. even if he is ultimately completely cleared, he is at the center of this investigation right now and you hear people close to the president quietly saying, is it too much and is it time for jared to take a step back? maybe even take a leave of absence from the white house. >> something that president trump would agree with? >

general hayden, you wrote an op-ed for the hill. you say, it's beginning to feel a little like nicaragua around here. how do you -- what do you mean? >> in 110 days, the president has fired a national security adviser, an acting attorney general and the director of the fbi. i was trying to capture what that must feel like for people on the outside looking in at america and by the way, my international network has kind of check in with you guys are going to be okay, right? i was trying to describe that this kind of behavior is not normally associated with a mature western democracy. it's associated with autocratic populous states. >> do you feel that could be the -- that's where we're headed? >> look, i have lived enough in the world. america sent me to places that weren't happy at the moment. i have seen how thin the veneer of civilization really is. you walk through -- >> we think it's solid. but you walk through -- what >> what strikes you is not how different those people are, but how they're not different from -- >> there are sn

>> same hayden mon money. as famous as hayden became in new york it was the fifth one after los angeles, pittsburgh, chicago was the first and another one and then came us. all happened quickly. within ten years or so between 1930-1935 five planetariums went up. so, hayden was alibe when he gave us the money but the foundation existed and it is still active today and they give monies to programs that help kids after school boost their sort of interest in what it means to learn. so, yes. i am director of the hayden planetarium at the museum of natural history. i enjoy writing. a perfect day for me is when the phone doesn't ring. there is nothing in my inbox and i can write. i want to get back to the lab. not something i have been in much lately. for me the lab is the computer, doing data from telescopes and theorizing things that can be tested. being a scientist again. it is now a small fraction of the time i place on the week. i have a delusion that i am visible enough others want to do and they rise up and th

money,eu hayden foundation. the fifth planetarium in the united states. as famous has hayden became in new york it was the fifth planetarium after los angeles, pittsburgh, chicago was the first, and another one i keep forgetting and then came us.n so, all that happened very quickly, like, within ten years in the 1920 asks and '30s. between 1930 and 1935 five planetariums went up. and so hayden was live when he gave us the money, and he was a financier and they still give money to programs that help kids after school boost their interest in what is it to learn. so, i'm director of the hayden planetarium the american museum of national history, and also -- i enjoy writing, and a perfect day for me is when the phone doesn't ring, nothing my inbox and i can just write. also want to get back to the lab. nose something if hey been in with lately. the proverbial lab. so the computer reducing data from telescopes, being a full-up scientist again. greatly mills that. it's now a very small fraction of the time i invest in

you heard michael hayden that is so off the reservation i cannot remember another time in my lifetime. >> i think the difference is, alisyn, if the trump administration had been in office and looking for a way to communicate with someone close to putin, that is one thing. this is in the transition. the first instinct is reach out to theallies. not the russians. if the report was true, it was russian communications. thereby avoiding the normal communications with the white house or state department. that is bizarre. i never heard of anything like that. i have do think it is important that jared kushner have a chance to address these. obviously he is innocent until proven guilty. >> why does nobody get mad in the trump world about what russia tried to do to america? that's what i keep waiting for. instead of all of the evidence pointing to coziness? that should be bigger than your sense of legitimacy or people questioning whether you won. that is shocking about all of this. >> we will try to get you answers in the next hour. >> before 9:00. >> you got it. panel, thank you. >>> another b

. >> prior to his death had talked with tom hayden? >> once. he was a very dishonest person and in america hater he manipulated people put them in harm's way in this the author of the riot at the 68 convention he said to me dated --, and we have to do was put them into this situation so the police will crackdown and i was horrified. i anything nice to say about tom hayden. >> host: north carolina go-ahead. >> caller: mr. horowitz has president trump read your broken? kenny stand the pressure of the onslaught of the next four years from the last 100 days? >> that is the $100,000 question right there. my but shows it is hard to fight the democrats. trump is very tough he can fight other tough guys like unions and casino's i have enough confidence he will stay the course but this is the tougher battle then he never imagined that it would be. >> host: arizona go-ahead. >> caller: talk about name-calling saying you are a trump paid her that is close to being called a racist. now i have a question. number one going with back to the states going back

are michael hayden who was the director of both the nsa and the cia.s now principal at the chertoff group. james wolsey, past director of the cia was an adviser to the trump campaign and the transition team. he quit before the inauguration. here with me in new york christina rodriguez, proffessor at yale in constitutional law. and a presidential historian, pa formerly of the nixon library. you said the events reminded you of nicaragua or that american was turning into nicaragua. what did you mean? >> i meant that the president was going beyond normal restraints that you referred to. he was within his technical legal authority to fire jim comey. the motivation was questionable. i don't mean the motivation was in question. we know why he did it. it was the russian investigation. but that motivation is very questionable. he did it in the most thuggish mnner. he used the power of his office to publically humiliate jim comey, a public servant. i think a lot of people in the american government, fareed, senior leadership in what i call the permanent governme

we're going to talk to two former cia directors, general michael hayden and leon panetta. we also have congressman jim himes and senator ben sasse, so we're going to get a lot of expertise about what this means and what needs to change. >> also up next, only something you'll see here cnn exclusive former acting attorney general sally yates sat down one-on-one with anderson cooper. this is her ferstl vision interview since being fired by president trump and since that testimony last week. you will hear it right here. >> actually asked you at that first meeting whether you thought the national security adviser should be fired. what did you say? i joined the army in july of '98. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. only tylenol® rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol® >>> so former acting attorney general sally yates has given her first tv interview to cnn, an

a move michael hayden blames on naivety. what manner of ignorance, chaos, suspicion, contempt would you have to have to think that doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or an appropriate idea? and that is the big question surrounding all of this. is it a grand scheme or just a case of inexperience? michael kranish is an expert in all things kushner. co-author of trump revealed. i read your piece and i think so much of what is known about jared kushner is this idea that he speaks to the president in soft soothing tones so therefore is the gentle one and that is not the picture you paint. tell us. >> no, eels rk, he's 36, he ha look to him and he hasn't really spoken publicly since he's come to the white house. so he's sort of a mysterious figure sort of like forrest gump in all the photos but you don't hear him talk. so we decided to look back at his ten year business career. and you can see that he does not hold back. he's very trumpian in the way that he go after folks. he is a hardball political character. he s

mcmaster sees it or michael hayden when he says this is off the map. >> i see it the way general haydenis absolutely off the map, he's 100% right about that. the big issue is the fact they wanted to use, reportedly, the russian communication system to have that communications link to moscow. that is unprecedented. there is no doubt back channel communications have been used many times in the past, used to great effect in some cases historically as you've mentioned, but there are so many issues using a foreign communications system especially one related to an adversary of the united states and that would be russia. >> can you speak to the utility but also their danger? >> yes. usually what will happen is somebody in a high position will ask that a message go to a particular country or to another element of the department of defense, or to the white house, and if you are in a position where you handled communications links like i did and n part of my military career, you can actually be in a position where you handled messages that let's say one other element of the government is not sup

>> because they don't want to -- what general hayden said, the former nsa director, kind of points tohat. this is what the democrats set up in a narrative over the weekend and went out to the sunday talk shows. it is dark. it is deception. they are trying to sell all of the darker sides of this. i can tell you're for one, their stories of palace intrigue are not what they say. i was in the west wing this past friday, and spent a lot of time in d.c. talking to top officials. so the palace intrigue is separate. the real issue is the reality that the obama administration and general flynn, sean spicer just that in the briefing. if they had concerns about general flynn, why did they reauthorize his clearance? >> julie: and by right there. we're going to take a quick commercial break and then be right back. stick with us. we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our

is the same hayden money, the hayden foundation.well, we were the fifth planetarium in the united states. not come as famous as hayden became in new york and it was the fifth after los angeles, it's berg, chicago was the first come at another what i keep forgetting in there, and then came us. so all that happened very quickly, within ten years or so back in the 19 twins and 30. between 1930-1935, five planetariums went up. so hayden was like when we gave us the money but in the foundation, he was a financier, the foundation existed and then they're still active today they give money to programs that help kids after school to lose for the interest in wanting to learn. so yes, i'm director of the hayden planetarium at the american museum of natural history. but also i enjoy writing. a perfect day for me is when the phone doesn't ring, there's nothing in my inbox and i can just think. i also want to get back to the lab. not something i been in much lately, the proverbial lap. for me it would be at the computer producing data from teles

general hayden said unequivocally no, he didn't do anything illegal. it wouldn't have advised him to do that. we have the left-leaning media and people jumping on that bandwagon saying look at all this stuff. ben mentioned smoke. sometimes there is a lot of smoke and no fire at all. >> ben: the smoke is filling up the room and it's blinding people from being able to see when donald trump is doing right in his mind. we have to keep in mind what's happening with james comey, going to be testifying in front of the senate very soon. if it does come out to be true that donald trump tried to impede the investigation into michael flynn, than the russian scandal is moved. >> eric: hypothetical parade you are doing exactly what the left-leaning media is doing. comey's that i will testify but he said i'm not bringing the smoking gun note he allegedly wrote after the meeting that allegedly donald trump leaned on him to look the other way. he's not going to put that in the record. >> ben: were going to have to wait and see what he says. i think we'll get a lot of

american world superbike rider nicky hayden has been seriously injured in a bicycle accident in italyar while training, and suffered chest and head injuries. horseracing is a sport worth over £3 billion to the british economy, watched live by six million people a year in britain. the first ever survey into gender in racing suggests women are held back. despite more women than ever before coming into racing it found women are underepresented in the most prominent areas of the sport, with some examples of ‘entrenched prejudice and discrimination'. our sports correspondent joe wilson has this report. racehorses, leisure and big business. it is a multi—billion pound industry. and in this yard in newmarket, amy murphy is the boss. paid by owners to train their horses to be winners. she isjust 24. that is very unusual. the fact that she is very unusual. the fact that she isa woman, is very unusual. the fact that she is a woman, well, that is rare as well. you have to get the support and sometimes, as a woman, you have to prove yourself before people will support you. whereas if you're a man

he is director of the hayden an evangelistd for scientific curiosity and discovery.s a popular radio and tv show and his latest book is called "astrophysics for people in hurry." billing is perfect for me. sexiest astrophysicist was 40 pounds ago and seven years ago. just put that in context. charlie: you were a young dude. why did you write this book? il: people have jobs, they have kids. if you are curious, is there anything that serves that busy i've south? -- that busy lifestyle? there are things i know you have seen, and i wanted to -- charlie: put them together. dip inxactly, you can and out and in concert the needs of the curious individual. charlie: bear with me. astrophysics. neil: we care about everything outside of earth's atmosphere. [laughter] everything out there is us. planets, moons, asteroids, comets, stars, galaxies. the entire universe past, present and future. the interesting thing is that the laws of physics is not a given. it is not written that had to be this way, but the loss of physics we establish in the laboratory, turns out a apply across

. >> general hayden is this nefarious? >> well michael i'm going with nigh yef they and that's not particularly very comforting for me. what manner of ignorance, chaos, suspicion, contempt would you have to have to think that doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or an appropriate idea? so again, it doesn't make me feel very good about many things. >> we heard jack use the word about nay eve. bob to you agree? >> i do hope it nay yooef te. it doesn't look good for us in any case and never will. the alternative is they knew what they were doing and it was some sort of secret agreement that they're keeping from the government, that would be much worse. if it would be a real collusion with the russians. i refuse to believe that so far but we got to see. >> bob bear, jack barsky thank you both. >>> coming up russian misinformation, why would former fbi director james comey let a piece of russian intelligence he knew would be fake drive him to reveal hillary clinton's e-mail habits. next. ked some older people when

michael hayden said it seemed like flynn was fired not because of what he had done, but because it was going to be written about in the "washington post." that seems to make it worse, that it could have gone on longer than 18 days if "the washington post" didn't break the story. >> i agree with general hayden, that's certainly the appearance, and that's why we need more information in the white house on this. ms. yates isn't going to be able to answer that in testimony. but the white house has got to answer what happened in that 18 days. did they take the information seriously? then why did it take 18 days. and general flynn resigned on the day that "the washington post" story popped. they were driven by news and the potential for embarrassing stories, rather than trying to do the right thing and trying to discern what exactly happened here. >> when you see it on the calendar, that's a long time. >>> hillary clinton getting candid about the final days of the cam pain and what she believes cost her the presidency. >> i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comey's lette

i spoke with michael hayden yesterday, former cia, nsa director. he says doesn't have to be nefarious explanation. it could be naivete or hubris. jared kushner, trump team imagine we can handle this. we're going to do it back channel. we'll go, deal with russians directly. maybe it retlekflects a distrus the intelligence community. they didn't want their conversations listened to, wanted to make this back channel deal. the president tweeted this morning calling it fake news. it's not the first time we've heard i. it's a deliberate attempt to mud y the waters. as you say, chris, it denies the facts. set aside what we in the media reported. it is the senate and house intelligence committees, democrats and republicans on those committees who say this is still an open question, a question of collusion. it's the fbi. james comey before he was fired testified under oath that collusion is still an open question. this is one of the topics that special counsel robert mueller who served both democrats and republicans, said it's still an open question. so it

to graduated them also a professor at the naval academy is a great thing to have general michael hayden here with us today to a talked-about his 41 year career in the airforce national intelligence and national security area to talk about his book of american intelligence in the age of care. the title is a sports metaphor to play to the edge of the field and ended is appropriate general he did reduce the sports metaphor to be born in the shadow of the pittsburgh steelers. >> factually toward down my home to build three rivers stadium. [laughter] >> so the irish catholic family as part of a welder in as the founder of the steelers in paris this day road on the side of the stadium as equipment manager in doing airforce rotc and dotted is degree in american history. st. peter's elementary school in north catholic school figured large in his upbringing and he makes it clear in this very personal memoir, it is education really mattered to him. the further i got in my career so this book has a lot to say about the importance of education at that age and enter standee still get up early on sun

listen to former nsa director michael hayden's take on the controversy. >> what matter of ignorance,, suspicion, contempt would you have to have to think of doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or an appropriate idea? so, again, it doesn't make me feel very good about many things. this is off the map, michael. i know no other other experience like this in our history, certainly within my life experience. >> in the meantime, president trump's sons donald junior and eric trump and his wife laura met with the republican national committee. is right now the right time, julian, to be making this a priority with a white house that is facing so much? >> meeting with the republican party about 2018 and 2020 might make some sense and what the republicans on the hill are thinking about. the focus has to be on the scandal and response to the scandal on handling these multiple investigations but they realize their mainly firewall is the fact that republicans control congress and i think the administration is counting on that to protect them. so what do members of congress care about

. >>> we're also hearing from michael hayden, the former director of the cia and the national security agency. he tells our michael smerconish that a back channel like the one kushner allegedly talked about with the ambassador that that would have been, quote, off the map. >> general hayden, is this nefarious or naivete? >> right now i'm going with naivete, and that's not technically very comforting for me. what manner of ignorance, chaos, hubris, suspicion, contempt would you have to have to think that doing this with the russian ambassador was a good or an appropriate idea? >> let's bring in leslie benjamori from london. good to have you with us. >> morning. >> let's talk about this, this concept of a back channel. is this something that could be considered reasonable and common for an incoming administration looking to make a policy change? or is it indeed as just mentioned here, off the map? >> i don't think it could be considered reasonable. remember, the idea that you would establish a back channel that would be, prevent the fbi from being aware of a communication when you're a p

former cia and nis director michael hayden called the kushner's back channel -- >> no other experience like this in our history. >> james clapper raised similar concerns. >> my dashboard warning light was clearly on and i think that was the case with all of us in the intelligence community. >> homeland security secretary retired general john kelly, however, called such clandestine communications perfectly normal. >> both normal in my opinion and acceptable. any way that you can communicate with people. particularly organizations that are maybe not particularly friendly to us is a good thing. >> for jared kushner new contacts with russia keep surfacing. in addition to the december meeting with kysliak, warnings that kushner had previous undisclosed communications with the russian ambassador including two phone calls prior to the election last november. in response kushner's lawyer tells cnn kushner had thousands of calls in this time period. he has no recollection of the calls as described. there is another investigation deadline tomorrow. michael flynn must answer a subpoena from the s

joining us is general michael hayden, former cia and nsa director.o much for being with s us. it fascinating that the president and his staff not denying the "new york times" report last friday he called former fbi director james comey a nut job and says the firing relieved pressure on the president. start with the appropriateness of such things. >> john on so many levels that would be inappropriate. you should not talk about your own government, your over governance with a foreign official that way, and i certainly wouldn't trash talk about a former director of the fbi in the front of a foreign official like lavrov, and kislyak. isn't it amazing the contrast between how carefully crafted the last two days have been in saudi arabia and in jerusalem, compared to that absolutely horrific meeting last week with the russians in the oval office on practically every level. >> general, as you know, he also reportedly divulged classified, sensitive information to those russians. what do you think about that? where does that go? >> look at the line-up. the fa
