>> ari?> edward bennett williams said he didn't represent a client, he represented the situation. michael avenatti is the closest thing to representing the situation. what's going on here is that all the people around donald trump who are worried about going to jail may be the situation, and they need coordination. even if michael avenatti ends up not representing michael cohen in any way, i can assure you that the coordination is growing among all the people worried about going to jail. that is bad news for donald trump. >> we're ringing the alarm on people not loyal to trump as they once were. the situation needs a lawyer, inadvertent jersey shore reference. thanks to both of you. coming up, kurtis blow is here, he's bringing his son for a very special fallback friday. until her laptop crashed this morning. her salon was booked for weeks, having it problems? ask a business advisor how to get on demand tech support for as little as $15 a month. right now, buy one hp ink and get a second at 3

>> well, ari, thank you for having me on.ant thing that remains in the case is that there are many hundreds of parents who still have had their kids ripped away from them and not yet returned by the u.s. government. the government walked into court today and claimed that it's been working as hard as it can to reunite these families, but the truth is that there are two major groups of parents we're very concerned about. the first, as you mentioned, is that there are about as far as we know 400 parents who have been deported from the united states without a chance to reunite with their kids. and those parents we need to know and get in touch with them and have them identified by the government so that we can find out did they make a knowing waiver of their right to be reunited with their kids before they were sent back to their home countries, possibly back into harm's way. the second group of families that we're very concerned about -- >> let me ask you about that and then we'll go to the second. for anyone listening just stra

i mean, this is serious business, ari. know, you subject yourself to this scrutiny of the press and you subject yourself to the scrutiny of fox news and others when you do that. it's a very, very serious decision, a big decision for them. but, look, if people don't want to believe me on it, that's fine. i think that's pretty risky in light of my track record over the last six months. >> does at least one of them involve ami? >> yes. >> and that would be a previously undisclosed, not karen mcdougal, correct? >> correct. >> you're talking about something that is very significant that is embedded in the wider news you made in the clip we just showed, if at least one of them involves ami, you're saying this company, which is under significant scrutiny in the cohen case, by the feds in new york, was also doing something else allegedly on behalf of donald trump? >> yes. >> could that then raise their exposure for campaign finance violations, or other misleading of the authorities about what they were doing with that money? >> ye

the russians have always lied, ari.ut international relations on the big stage at the big show. and i think the president of the united states deserves some latitude in how he manages that relationship, especially when you look at what he does in context of what he says. he's been tougher on russia than barack obama or george w. bush were. and i think that record is being overlooked. >> well, we went through some of the facts on that so people can decide. i will say there's been a lot of questions about what the congress, and particularly what republican members of congress are doing and thinking this peek. congressman johnson, i appreciate your perspective. >> thank you very much. >>> new data from facebook shows who the biggest spender is in politics. interesting answer, straight ahead.

ari, thanks for joining us. it was kind of surreal this afternoon.alking about the fact he said multiple times this morning president trump was not at the meeting. we were sort of wondering aloud on the couch. no one said he was at the meeting. why do you say he was not there. seems like a question nobody had asked. apparently he was watching. he called into us, he offered that further explanation that you just heard. what do you make of all this? , from a messaging point of view? >> i thought, melissa, you and harris did a good job probing in precisely what the mayor was talking about there. it's a head scratcher. maybe rudy was being figurative, here is one allegation, here is the second allegation. obviously the second allegation is impossible because there was no meeting but when you begin it saying the second meeting, you just create confusion. so i think there is still more cleanup needed here. look, this is one of those deals where either you believe them or you don't and if donald trump says there was no meeting, it never took place, donald t

all was aries tremendous amount of money for many years back. they are delinquent. the united states have had to pay for them. if you go back 10 or 20 years, massive amounts of money that the united states has played -- paid, we have stepped up like no one has. this has gone on for decades. no other president brought it up like i bring it up. something has to be done. the secretary-general has been working on it very hard. meeting, last commitments have been made for over $40 billion more money spent by other countries. that is a very small step. it sounds like a lot of money small is as a -- it is a amount of money relative to what they owe and what they should be paying. it is an unfair burden on the united states. we are here to talk about that. i'm sure it will be resolved. i have great confidence in the secretary-general. he worked very hard on this. himve great confidence in and his representatives. would you like to say something? >> it is great to see you here. it is good to have you here for the summit. we are going to discuss many important issues at the s

i think the significant point, ari, is that when a lindsay graham gets on television yesterday and he says, i don't have a problem what your politics are, i just don't want roe v. wade to be overturned. that's interesting. >> but it is really what the senators think about their individual positions isn't at stake. the senate positions cancel each other out. it is the decisions made on the basis of facts presented in a court of law and the justices weigh in. that's the way our system should work. not a role call voement of the united states senate. it's not a role call vote. this is a litmus test in the democratic party. you heard it all the time, the democratic primaries, the democrats say i won't nominate anybody who isn't for gay marriage. isn't for abortion. it is an overt litmus test. republicans typically say they want somebody with a temperament that is proper for the bench to hear the cases and hear them wisely. and donald trump said he'll name conservatives. so i understand the democrats have a fear that roe v. wade will be overturned and the states will decide and it will be

. >> good evening, ari. what i see the president as a candidate had on his team and businesses shadowy operators and people who had close personal and political financial ties to russia. with paul manafort we see millions of dollars exchanged with russians as he did work for the parties and in the fall of 2015 when donald trump was a candidate where he was engineering to get trump and putin together so they could quote-unquote make our boy president. when you see secret recordings and see the way michael cohen was willing to operate on behalf of the president, i think that justice bob mueller's investigation to taken an mri to everyone around the president to find out if the russians have anything on him or if he was working with them during the campaign. >> should congress review these tapes? >> i think it's an ongoing investigation, no, not right now. maybe after the investigation, as we'd always want to have oversight. right now, we need let investigators do their job. >> i want to play for you michael sp

ari, let me start with you. for a long time presidents have said the united states pays more than its fair share and our allies pay not enough, but nobody has been able to get them to actually fork over the money. >> i've sat in a lot of the meetings, the summit meetings between president bush and european leaders were he cajoled them in private to increase their spending and the reaction almost all the time was the same, you get this sense of gravitas, you get the sense of we very much would like to do that and then they explain why they can't, why the domestic pressures on them and the other needs to spend money are more important than reaching at 2% target, or you get some futuristic target that ten years from now they will make an increase from one quarter of one percentage in their spending on defense and i don't even follow up on that. so i'm very much a supporter of the nato alliance. it is essential to our security and to europe's security, but think of how much stronger that alliance would be if each of

al ir ari, we keep hearing the july 27 date again and again. the campaign after that tried to claim they were kidding. oh, no, donald trump was kidding. as you saw in the follow up exchange i had with the now president, then candidate, he was not kidding. he went back again, doubled down if you want to use that cliche, tripled down. russia, find those e-mails, i would love to see them. >> it was a bizarre statement at the time. if taken literally it was seeking foreign help which can be a crime itself. they immediately tried to get away from it being literal. you as a journalist pressed him at the time. those questions obviously proved prescient and perhaps you were triggering him. he tried to say people raising those questions were, quote, trying to help his opponent. that's not what today's indictment says. it says that people who worked for vladimir putin's military were trying to interfere in the election to help donald trump. this is a huge sweeping change in what's been charged. everything up to this point involves putting pieces together

there was this perspective from fox contributor ari flesher. tweeting that trump only sees russia interference through the lens of whether he won or lost. that should not blind him for how wroong it was for russia to interfere. >> community leaders standing by the assessment of the russian threat like dan coats who said friday the warning lights are blinking. he reaffirmed after the summit. quote, we have been clear in our assessment of russian meddling in the 2016 election and the ongoing efforts to undermine our democracy and we will continue to provide unvarnished intelligence in support of our national security. former cia director john brennan calling trump's performance nothing short of trees treasonous. >> house and senate leaders spoke out against the president's remarks. among the strongest remarks was this from john mccain. he called it the most disgra disgraceful performance by an american president in memory. it is clear the summit in helsinki was a triple digagic m. responses in the media. like "the daily new york daily" news cover
