good morning, joe. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. president trump continuing to attack democratic congresswoman over his condolence call to the family and the widow of sergeant la david johnson. this coming after the president's chief of staff gave a highly personal defense of the conversation earlier in the day. president trump refusing to put his war of words with congresswoman frederica wilson to rest n. a late night tweet calling her wacky and insisting that she lied about his call khat to the widow of sergeant la david wilson despite the fact that hours earlier the chief of staff essentially confirm canned the congresswoman's account. >> he said to the wife, well, i guess he knew what he was getting into. >> in his way, he tried to express that opinion that he is a brave man, a fallen hero. he knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted. >> in a powerful defense of his boss he sphraeups the message that the president meant to convey was similar is to the words used by marine general joseph dup ford in 2010 when kel

chris and alisyn? >> joe, appreciate it. joining us now is cnn political analyst and white house correspondent for the "new york times", maggie haberman. two big headlines. the first is the potential ties between the trump campaign and analytics company and wikileaks. what matters here? >> what matters here is the ask was made, right? according to julian assange, he didn't respond. but the top official at cambridge analytica reached out to him at some point and a reporter of "the daily beast" saying we would like essentially some help or we would like to access in some way the missing 33,000 e-mails from hillary clinton's server. and julian assange wrote back that he didn't want their help. they wanted to do it on their own. the person who runs cambridge, nicks, we know president trump, then candidate trump, openly called on russia to release the he mails on the assumption they had been hacked. it is not clear there was evidence. this is the closest link we know of between people who were -- it's not clear exactly when this

>> not much surprised me, alisyn. i think he actually did a very good preliminary brief or an interim brief in terms of what was going on. he gave as much information as he could to the press. remember, his priority is getting information to the family and to his bosses, in that order. and then the press comes third. and i know the press wants a lot of information, journalists want to find out what happened, but he wants to get it right for the family, first. i've been in situations like this before. if you get it wrong, if you tell the family something inaccurate, in the way things developed when their loved ones are killed, it's really hard to walk it back. and we owe the truth to the family more than anyone else. so wherethat didn't surprise me all. he gave the absolute details that he could, and it was very insightful. the thing that did surprise me, though, was when he made a nuanced remark saying, we evidently have to work a little harder at telling members of congress what's going on on the african continent or

alisyn? >> joe, thank you very much. roe for cnn politics, chris cizilla. let's play more of this sound so we can do a good discussion on full complement of things that were said. we have flake and corker. >> do you think that president trump is setting a bad example for the nation's children? >> yes. some of the statements that are made about people and seeming to ascribe the worst motives to people as well is something we tell our kids not to do. >> do you think he's a role model to children in the united states? >> no. >> you don't? >> absolutely not. we have young people who for the first time are watching a president stating, you know, absolute nontruths, nonstop. personalizing things in the way that he does and it's very sad for our nation. >> all right. so there they are. david gregory, it's interesting. a little bit of this is a matter of perception. are they defecting? i would say, no, they're doing the opposite. they're redoubling their commitment to what they say their party is abo

>> alisyn, i answered your questions. uncomfortable with what?i collected had everything had with the unforgotten voter. these are people who had never voted republican or had not voted in years, and they were there for donald trump because of his superior message. i know i was -- god, i hope that's not a squirrel and not a rat. i was -- it's better than the lawn mower that is always back there. it's your show and you can pick what you want to talk about, but i was hoping we could talk about the opioid epidemic, and i feel we are ignoring issues that affect a lot of americans, and there were lots of democrats in the audience that made me happy, and it's a nonby -- >> it's a universal issue. one last thing on russia. what is it that worries the president about the uranium deal? the russia thing is confusing, because as you know this president has talked a lot about how russia could be a good friend, and russia could help the world with peace, and why now the fixation on the uranium one deal. >> the president is not worried about the uranium one, a

>> good morning, alisyn. the president and his top allies continue to try to project political strength through the controversy involving senator bob corker, even though the president's often confrontation relationship with lawmakers and his low approval ratings have been cited as reasons why he has had a difficult time getting his legislative agenda through capitol hill. nonetheless, the suggestion this morning from the white house is that the president will continue with past practice. president trump is not finished with senator corker, according to a white house official. after the high-ranking member of mr. trump's own party delivered this scathing rebuke of the commander in chief. >> sometimes i feel like he's on a reality show of some kind, you know. foreign polishes and, you know, he doesn't realize that, you know, we could be heading toward world war iii with the kind of comments he's making. >> reporter: form er white hous strategist steve bannon, fired in august, lashed out at bob corker last night

alisyn. >> that was good, chad.nk you very much. >>> puerto rico's power authority is moving to scrap a $300 million contract with montana-based whitefish energy. they were supposed to rebuild power lines destroyed after hurricane maria. the no-bid contract came under intense scrutiny after fema said they did not approve the whitefish contract. it is located in the small hometown of president trump's interior secretary ryan zinke. the white house and zinke said they had no role in awarding this contract. puerto rico's governor will join us live in the next hour to talk about all of this. >>> naval officials confirm to go cnn that two navy s.e.a.l.s are under investigation in connection with the murder of an army green beret in mali. barbara starr live with details. mali, what do we know about that and why this is being investigated. >> reporter: good morning, chris. this happened in the west africa an nation of mali back in june. the pentagon never publicly disclosed it.

chris and alisyn? >> right, separate appearances, obviously, because they would bnt indi n't be indicted together, they would be indicted on their own, maybe because of a joint set of facts. so michael zeldin, let's talk about what this means, all right? you guys are not a political panel. there's no question that the optics are bad. we have a president right now who was brought in to drain the swamp and one of his closest advisers just got indicted. so that's not good from pa political perspective. and the president conspicuously silent since this news came out. he had been tweeting this morning, talking about how hillary clinton's the real problem. now he just had one of his main guys walk into a field office to surrender. so, the optics have shifted.leg the reaction of, this is all they got? manafort on some money from a hundred years ago? obviously there's nothing to this, otherwise they would have started with something about this campaign? >> well, i think ty cobb, counsel in the white house to t

>> i think there's a pattern here, alisyn. i wish i had the answer to your question on why he didn't do it earlier. we saw earlier this year when we went to visit the cia and the wall that is the memorial to the people who had fallen, and he talked about crowd sizes. his instinct is not in align with the past presidents, so why does he do it? i don't know. it may be part of the fabric of who donald trump is, and that's disappointing when that's the person sitting in the oval office. >> he talked about how it is for him, and how hard the phone calls are for him. he did say that. >> that's something every past president has felt. there are things that are the right thing to do and the right way to handle the men and women who have served. i would love to see him welcome wounded veterans more frequently to the white house, and i would love to see him go visit troops who are recovering at walter reed. i would like to see him call gold star families. those are things i would encourage the white house to do because everybody preside

now it's down to 46%, alisyn. that's where we were in february after the first chaotic weeks of the trump administration. battles with mcconnell, trump's relationship with congressional republicans. 32% of americans approve the way he handles his relations with congressional republicans. 54% disapprove. 68% of republicans approve of his relationship with congressional republicans only 22% approve. 30% of americans overall say they trust president trump to handle major issues. 47% trust these guys, mitch mcconnell and paul ryan more. among republicans, president trump has the advantage on this issue of trust to handle most issues. if you go to the next screen, you'll see that republicans overwhelmingly, 63%, trust trump over the 29% who trust the republicans in congress. it's this advantage that he is pressing against mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. by the way, that steve bannon is pressing as well. alisyn, chris? >> david, thank you very much. stay with us. that panel is the only one that the president agrees with

>> it matters in two ways, alisyn. he's a senior statesman from the president's party.nior's statesman, basically if i can paraphrase, declare the president trump presidency a failure, and having no hope it will be able to turn around. those are hugely reverberating words through the halls of congress. i would also say it's important because you will recall that bob corker said a few weeks ago that he believes he's speaking for many in his conference who have not come out to say -- >> that's the rub, though. that's the rub. he doesn't get to be a proxy. one of the reasons that what corker says is so kind of eye pop something becau popping is because of people not saying it. mcconnell, ryan, they would make a snake jealous the way they were able to twist around to avoid saying anything about the president that could be interpreted as criticism, because they are worried about what will happen. it starts to become deafening, and ryan joked about it, i have to wake up and pretend what tweets i don't see, and that's not funny because it's his job. corker looms even larger. >

what you heard there is alisyn pressing her about cambridge analytica, these people that worked for the trump campaign and reaching out to kelly weeks, and what you heard from kellyanne conway, that doesn't matter. but anything that clinton did with the research, oh, that matters a lot. when donald trump jr. is having a meeting with people from russia, that's not a problem, that's opposition research. really interesting double standard. >> i think what she's trying to do is kind of flip the way you just described it by saying you guys are so focussed on russia when it comes to us, but if you care that much let's focus on now what we know the democrats were involved with, which is paying for the dossier in the first place. this is not an easy topic. she is probably, as you have learned over the interviews that you have done with her, both of you, masterful at turning it around. i think at the end of the day, though, she did make clear if you can kind of read through some of the spin that she clearly -- well, here's my read. she was uncomfortable with this. i have spoken to other people o

>> good morning, alisyn. the starting point is this is why the country has special operations forces, and these are the troops that go places dangerous and are risky, but in this case the question is was the risk understood. this green beret team walked into an isis ambush, and this was a place they had been before and this time isis was waiting for them. the intelligence was not accurate. they had been under the direction they would be unlikely they would run into opposition, and of course they did. when that firefight broke out, this is a country, niger, it did not permit any air strikes in its country, so it was half an hour before troops came, and they had only their own rifles to defend themselves. the ultimate question, when the dust cleared why was lsergeant johnson left behind. they were one man short. sergeant johnson's body was not found for 48 hours. for a u.s. military that says they leave nobody behind on the battlefield, this is emotional and a concerning question for the pen the gone, how did h

>> reporter: good morning, alisyn. the white house dealing with a new piece of the puzzle, and the president choosing to turn it around and focusing on how far the clinton campaign would go to get dirt on him. >> don't forget. hillary clinton denies this, she knew nothing, and all of a sudden we found out -- >> attempting to shift the narrative away from the russia investigation and on to hillary clinton, blasting her campaign's involvement in helping to fund the now famous dossier of allegations about trump and russia. >> well, i think it's very sad what they have done with the fake dossier. it was made up. i understand they paid a tremendous amount of money. >> mr. trump insisting that the dossier is fake, despite the fact that parts of it have been corroborated by the intelligence community. a source familiar with the matter tells cnn that clinton was not personally aware of the dossier until buzzfeed published the document earlier this year, adding she was disappointed the research was not made public before she lo

chris and alisyn. >> thanks so much, jeff. >> all right. lots to discuss. let's bring in cnn john avalon and reporter and edded tore at large chris cillizza. >> i had one take as i was driving home and another as i was reading donald trump's twitter feed. i just captain think he can't leave anything alone. he's not capable of doing so. the tweet last night contained a number of things that are not true, most notably that she -- congresswoman wilson secretly taped a phone call. this should not be a fight between the congresswoman and president trump. they both bear some level of some responsibility there. this is a president who has shown over and over and over again an unwillingness to not talk the high road. he can nephew just leave well enough alone. he could have very easily solved the situation. haedz and what they heard seemed to be very different. he could have placed another call. he could have said these are difficult times. i did the best that i could. but if my message wasn't received in the way i meant it, i want to make clear that i mourn for yo

. >> thank you, alisyn. >> thank you for having us. >> craig, i will start with you.w if you have been following everything that has happened over the past 24 hours with president trump claiming that it's hard to call the families, obviously, we know that, and that he doesn't think that many of his predecessors did it, and we know that's not true, and saying to the widow of sergeant johnson, well, that's what he signed up for but i know it still must hurt. what you have been thinking as you listen to all of this play out? >> well, first of all, my experience, both with president obama and president trump have been very positive. president obama reach out to us via a letter. it was a very nice letter. it was basically a letter of condolence. my wife and i, we cherish that leader. as far as president trump is concerned, i believe that he has a very, very good heart as far as gold star families is concerned. we invited us to the white house just recently and spent actually several hours with us, and had a candlelight service in memory of all of our sons, and there were 5

. >> david gergen, flake, fascinating what he said to alisyn camerota this morning on "new day," he thinks other republicans will speak out soon on this meaning they have told him in private they feel the same way. who would you have your eye on to do that, because he didn't name names? >> that's an interesting question. i don't know the individuals well enough to know exactly who would break, but i would assume some of the moderates are under a lot of pressure internally. i think the susan collins of the world are under some pressure to take a firmer stand. one of the thing that happens when senators break like this, i don't think the dam is going to break and there will be a whole lot of senators, and there could be one, two, three, and those are significant numbers when you have such a modest majority. let's say the republicans are going to have to make tough calls on the budget in the next few weeks, and that is how are they going to get the spending down so they get the deficits down, and corker said he wants to pass a bill and he has a limit on how much deficit spending he will accep

>> again, alisyn, when atf is looking at these types of accessories are or any other type of items thatl under the national firearms act at the gun control act, we have to stick to the letter of the law. what's written in there, the technical language, definition. that's our guiding principle. we go exactly according to the law. that's why i just mentioned it's really up to congress to provide the right common sense kind of language within these laws, and allow agencies such as atf to enforce those laws. >> look, so many people thought that after the tragedy in newtown at sandy hook where so many little kids were killed that there would be some common sense proposals, bau as you know that got mired in all sorts of congressional infightininfighti. do you think what we saw this week, the tragedy in las vegas, do you think again, something incremental, the bump stock to be banned, do you think there will be some sort of action is this congress? >> i certainly hope so. i think if you polled any law enforcement officer, regardless of political affiliation, they would all tell you that we nee
