we have always known that the cabinet office...o is pulling all the shots and i'm delighted that dominic has got faith in ollie robbins because i haven't. he has got europe running through his veins and what i hope is that dominic is able to ensure that the brexit that people voted for a couple of years ago is the one that is now going to be delivered. but i'm afraid we have seen some compromises with that white paper and we need more detail to ensure we can do those trade deals with america. as we heard from president trump when he came the other day, i don't think he is as much of a fan of the white paper as me. we will see. i think liam fox trade secretary needs to get across america pronto to make sure that we can do the trade deals that everybody thought we were going to do throughout the world. everybody thought we were going to do throughout the worldlj everybody thought we were going to do throughout the world. i don't think anyone is happier than nigel that we have finally reached recess. if you look at the government, it

this is the international narcotics control cabinet senioree and it has the cabinet officer. what you make about this picture is they had recently seized heroin. presidentk behind the , where we would normally have some people seated, there's a laboratory. in front of each of the cabinet officers, we have an envelope that looks like a pound of flour, and that is heroin. this is what we do here. the word was, don't touch the envelopes, because you will pick up some of the heroin dust. there was a very impressive display. i think we can name some of them if you go up the left side. treasury, andof across, nixon. left is the's secretary of defense. to nixon's right is bill rogers, the secretary of state. the way the cabinet room is set up, the oldest departments flanked the president. on either side of him, vice president directly across, he's not in this picture, but treasury and justice are. this is another example of the use of the president's time and the emphasis coming down from the president on the importance of combating narcotics. you treatment guys have half these slid

i think if you look back previously, the cabinet office has been performing a range of functions butdifferent bits of dexeu cohere as one team and that the chain of ministerial command through me to the prime minister is very clear. the chain of command is through you via mr rollins to the prime minister because he has overall responsibility, not you. so, we have been very clear about this, and there is no tension between us, i think that is clear, that all the advice and all the meetings will be attended by the, with the prime minister as well, with the prime minister as well, with the prime ministerand minister as well, with the prime minister and that all the advice will come to be. and that's something, actually, on all sides we agreed very swiftly. this is the whitehall machinery of government changed to give effect to that. so, both of you would entirely reject the statement by the chief of staff of the former secretary of state that this gives rise to very serious questions about the constitutional propriety of having very unelected unit, almost licks only an unit in downing s

of the tensions that you understandably refer to, and given the mixed functions that both the cabinet officeel of advice we get, there's one team. in terms of the ministerial chain of command, there is one team. so that is the official line, there is now one team even if the civil serva nts is now one team even if the civil servants in charge of drawing up negotiating plans, dexeu more in charge of domestic operations according to the prime minister for the but brexiteers also said that 0llie robbins of the civil servant, was really in charge of drawing up an alternative white paper and so again the question to 0llie robbins about that. one brexit suggested even that some coup d'etat had been going on but 0llie robbins had to defend his world in the change of policy. are you seriously telling me that you were not separately drafting a text which was presented at chequers? so what i and my team did, in concert with a lot of officials across whitehall, is prepare papers for the cabinet to consider at chequers. and those papers covered a range of issues, they set out options, they set out recom

random apartments, where white house staff, we give cabinet offices orders. it works or it didn't work but to the degree it worked, it worked largely because of the personality of one stuart eizenstat who was absolutely respected and trusted by these people. they felt like he was an honest broker. if student stuart had been there taking everybody's notes down on that legal pad, paying attention to them, the hours and hours in, often foolishly, if that hadn't happened, it would have been a completely different administration . >> i saw a small i think thing that i like to say. the details thing is carter created the basis for the end dof the cold war which was later done, in fact i believe that reagan delay the end of the cold war with his activities he did that carter was set to do it and it would have happened earlier. another thing i've mentioned is demonstrates the intersection of american values, especially human rights. american interests as a blend absolutely necessary to secure america's place in the world and to secure american support for being invol

straight sets it was before the meeting came to an abrupt end that we were in a room beside the cabinet office looking over the various great buildings of whitehall and when we were challenging him on the fact that this process wouldn't be kibel of getting to the truth and beyond chance upon it and inspiring our confidence he seemed to get frustrated and he gestured excuse me he gestured to the window in the buildings around and said look there's people around here who would even want me to do this they just won't let me give an inquiry and for me that was that was very telling it was foundations of music through yeah it's very much the tail wagging the dog and when the prime minister is certainly given the impression that he's not the one who ultimately calls the shots that i think is very disturbing when you're dealing with an issue where intelligency and seas were directing colors to killed those who the. desirables but the important part i think for me is that whilst once we weren't happy with the process that he was that he was putting forward he apologized for cohesion he accepted that t

some of the tensions that you understandably referred to, and given the mixed functions that cabinet officethe vote is a matter of the official level of advice we get, is one team, that determines the ministerial change of command there is one team, and the advice runs to adhere to the function as effectively as possible through the mist your change of command as the statement of the prime minister is productive day, makes crystal clear that she is in charge of negotiations i deputize for her and we very much welcome the excellent advice we get, these arrangements as we move into the final phase of the negotiations, up until october. they are meant to make sure it we have the most effective team, as i said, one chain of command one team and that's the way we get the best deal. earlier mr raab published proposals for how any withdrawal agreement with the eu will be put into law. but the chair was more concerned at the prospect of there being no deal. when i asked you is the commitment that eu citizens lawfully resident in the uk at the end of december 2020 will they be able to stay, you said

the cabinet office minister chloe smith told the commons that she couldn't comment on the case.gning the electoral law exists to ensure theircampaigning and the electoral law exists to ensure their campaigning and the electoral commission has determined that those rules have been broken. both the vote to leave and be leave have been referred to the police. it would not be appropriate for the government to comment on ongoing police investigations. that electoral rules have been breached is rightly a cause for concern but it does not mean that the rules themselves were flawed. the government will continue to work closely with the electoral commission along with many other stakeholders in the electoral system to protect the integrity, security and effectiveness of referendums and elections. let me also make it clear for the record that we will continue to implement the referendum results and to make a success of it. labour's chuka umunna, accused vote leave of being an affront to democracy sot) theirfindings of their findings of the electoral commission are shocking and vote to lea

this shadow operation being done by the cabinet office and theresa may on one hand.e hand. david davis was coming up witha on one hand. david davis was coming up with a tough one, a harder one. he felt he was in control in england any more. he quit. it doesn't appear he has the powers that the old one used to have. theresa may has taken proper real personal control. she should be celebrated. she's done it. it was the last day of parliament today and a good day to bury bad news for all sorts of things. so this is your definition of bad news? we call this day taking out the trash day. there is cracking in there. he didn't sound like a man when he decided to come to become brexit secretary, dominic raab. the brexit secretary, dominic raab. the brexit 's supporters are angry that ollie robbins, one of theresa may's chief advisers, supports remained. an unelected civil servant. it seems as though he's the guy in charge coming up with the chequers plan which has been badly shaken by a lot of brexit years. they will be very angry because in the headline, it says she is in c

went to the cabinet officers act? wednesday the administration officials act?act? when do the admin assertion officials act? kevin: i have not seen any evidence as of now. tom: why? kevin: midterm elections. you have to go into the hearts of some of these districts where their constituents are. quite frankly, the president yesterday, while receiving a lot of criticism, does speak for a contingency of voters. tom: ok, but in a congressional district in a state that trumped percentage over secondary clinton, those people urpport what he said about ou intelligence agencies? kevin: they support what the president us. former house speaker newt gingrich called out president trump to issue a statement. former speaker gingrich is one of the most ardent supporters of this president administration. as well as conservatives yesterday in the conservative punditry class who have been very much in lockstep with this president, who criticized him. i spoke with one former cia official told me point blank this was a disaster. nejra: it was a disaster. and in the u.k., every tim

. >> it is very important for a president, or a cabinet officer or a senator to be held accountable. to be kept on his toes and the media today does that. the media is in an adversarial position with regard to public officials and that's healthy in its way. speaking of the media, we have to realize, and i think this is frankly not a helpful development, that television plays too much of a role today. when we select our candidates, we have to remember that they must learn to use television. if they are unable to communicate on television, a president, for example, won't be able to get support for his programs. during the watergate period, it was difficult on get a press conference. had i survived, i would have had far more press conferences, i would have had them on television whenever possible. i'd rather have the american people hear me directly rather than filtered through an anchor man or a writing press who give their views as to what i said. >> by that time he was in his late 70s and longing to have his view go directly to the people. but it was drafted into an actual real live

there's the - - case closest one you can find was a cabinet officer and they said he can only be subpoenaed, taken away from his duties if there was no other way to get the information. so the president has at least that privilege. if he has a complete privilege and can be investigated at all, i would have to do more research. although law review articles have said, it does exist as the law in most countries. the head of state has immunity until he's out of office. so, that requires more analysis. >>chris: given the fact that that is judge cavanaugh's opinion and given the fact that a legal dispute between president trump and the special counsel might end up before the supreme court, would it be useful to have judge cavanaugh be justice cavanaugh? >> i don't know brett very well. i know he was a person of high integrity. i know these off-the-cuff opinions like this, when somebody sits down and set the law. he may very well go the other direction. i wouldn't count on his vote on this. this is a question of first impression. and the tramp situation is very different than nixon. i don't think

is put into that role or even if the department is ultimately rolled up and drawn up into the cabinet office i think when you talk about david davis, he hasn't been negotiating anything this year on the eu side, they say in the entirety of this year so far, he's spent hardly four hours negotiating with them. you also have other ministers from the irish government, referring to mr. -- quite disparaging. in a sense, the person who comes into the role, won't necessarily be doing more negotiating. that's been taken over by the prime minister it will matter domestically. this is where may has a problem. who she picks, until she sorts that out, it's difficult for her to negotiate with the eu. >> michael, i want to bring you in we've heard a lot about the idea of collective responsibility from the prime minister. a, what does that mean is that co-parenting when you look at this from the broader perspective and you try to strategize ahead. eu is sitting back waiting to see when the brits come to a decision on their own, if and when it's difficult to plan ahead, isn't it how do you strategize from he

there's a case, the closest one you can find, he was a cabinet officer and they said he could only bepoenaed in essence, taken away from his duties if there was no other way to get the information. so the president would at least have that privilege. where he has the complete privilege and therefore can't be investigated at all, i would really have to do more research. there's an argument. law review articles of said that. it doesn't exist as a law in most countries, the head of state has immunity until after he's out of office. but other countries it does. that requires more analysis. >> chris: given the fact that is judge cavanaugh's opinion and given the fact that a legal dispute between president trump and thspial counsel might end up before the supreme court, would it be useful to have judge kavanaugh be justice kavanaugh? >> rudy: i don't know him very well. he's a person a very high integrity. i know that these off-the-cuff opinions like this, when somebody sits down and starts looking at the law as i was just doing, he may very well go in the other direction. and so i wouldn't

i told the cabinet office and a civil servant, ollie robins.it undermines our position, and i think david davis has found his position to be untenable, forced into a deal he does not support. would you agree that your wing of the party, who supported leave, are all over the place at the moment? you have people like michael gove, who rallied around the prime minister, liz truss wrote in the daily express, the article approved of by number ten, they all seem to be happy campers, yet people like andrew and your colleague calling on theresa may to go. it is pretty clear that the cabinet were bulldozed through without having the advantage of independent legal advice on the deal, which we have had since. i don't believe that all colleagues in the house of commons... do you think theresa may can bulldozed boris johnson and david davis? they signed up johnson and david davis? they signed up to johnson and david davis? they signed uptoa johnson and david davis? they signed up to a two days ago. you heard the threats, anyone who wants to walk will be get

and a second term used to get the scandals, the disgruntled former cabinet officers and the other side has the more intersite. the last of the cycle, people are tired and just like i can't take anymore. i am shut down. wake me up when the next are in office. that's been the pattern. we have six or seven years of obama books and george bush, clinton. the appetite for books about a president never goes away. donald trump, however, is an exception even to that rule because everything he has done has been intensely polarizing and controversial. he is a mystery in some ways a. of this one actuall.this one aca subject i wanted to raise which is my interest in fiction i started to publish a list of political novels. >> liberty island? >> that's an external outside project. liberty island is a small independent publishing obligation i created a view years ago to publish books that are being written by conservatives and libertarians mostly in the genre of the fiction category and these are books that couldn't be published in mainstream commercial publishing because they are a little too sectari

they need to have hearings with the senate-confirmed cabinet officers. >> we're going to have to leave it there for today. to be continued. bill kristol, jeremy bash, thank you both so much. >>> up next, could it happen here? as british police search for suspects in the deadly poisoning in the uk, america's intelligence chief gives us a wake-up call. this is a special edition, "andrea mitchell reports" live from the aspen security forum, only on msnbc. when my hot water heater failed it rocked our world. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they took care of everything a to z. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. 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 30% off at office depot officemax i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried cold turkey, i tried the patch. they didn't work for me. i didn't think anyth

understand, and given the mixed functions that both the cabinet 0ffice functions that both the cabinet office matter of the official level of advice we get, and in terms of the ministerial chain of command, there is one team. dominick stressing his own position of brexit secretary and refusing to, but mr robyn still came in for an attack, and response for a quiet coup d'etat, and another asked them about the controversial document at checkers, that effectively trading goods with the eu. which was presented? so what i ended my team did, with a lot of officials, but more than anywhere else, is prepare papers for the cabinet to consider at, and those cove red a cabinet to consider at, and those covered a range of issues,. saying that he was not responsible for the brexit paper, , saying that he was not responsible for the brexit paper,, papers, 120 pages of them so i think that the brexiteers will be pretty sure in their own minds that he was quite influential in that process, but as for dominic, he also campaigned for leave boat, he says he does not want to leave the data deal with the european

of the tensions that you understandably refer to, and given the mixed functions that both the cabinet officeng, that both is a matter of the official devil of advice —— official level of advice that we get... this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? the worst wildfires for a decade hit greece leaving more than 70 dead. there are reports some of the fires may have been deliberately lit. the prime minister has appealed for calm. some other stories being covered on bbc world service. five days after being released from hospital, eleven of the twelve boys and their football coach who were trapped in a thai cave have had their heads shaved before a buddhist ordination ceremony. the boys have been ordained as novice monks, and will live in a monastery for 9 days — a tradition for males in thailand who experience adversity. one other boy — a christian — will not take part. russian investigators have arrested a 74—year—old space scientist, who is suspected of passing missile secrets to a nato country. the alleged spying concerns hypersonic missiles, which fly at more tha

before that maybe we were transitional figures i think his commitment to cap government where cabinet officers it worked or didn't work for to that degree worked largely because of the personality that was absolutely reflected and trusted if stewart was not there taking everybody's notes down and paying attention putting in those hours hadn't happened it would be a completely different station. >> a small detailed thing is that carter created the basis for the end of the cold war which was later done and was delayed with his surgeon activity because carter was sent to do that so to demonstrate the intersection of american values especially human rights and interests that plan is absolutely necessary to secure america's place in the world and to store american support for those involved in the world. >> when you lose you do everything wrong so winning the election would have made a big difference there were decisions made but i think we should credit carter for i say it's inflation as the book describes there were a series of others and reagan gets credit for this to stick with paul volcker but

. >> it is very important for a president, or a cabinet officer or a congressman or a senator to be held accountable. to be kept on his toes. and the media today does that. the media is in an adversarial position with regard to public officials, and that is healthy in its way. speaking of the media, too, we have to realize, and i think this is frankly not a helpful development, and that is that television plays too much of a role today. now, having said that, however, it means that when we select our candidates, we've got to remember that they must learn to use television. if they are unable to communicate on television, a president, for example, isn't going to be able to get support for his programs. and of course during the so-called watergate period, it was very difficult to have a press conference, but had i survived, i would have had far more press conferences, i would have had them on television whenever possible, because i rather have my views go directly to the people, where they can hear me saying it, rather than having it filtered through anchorman or, frankly, writing press, w

the disgruntled former cabinet officers. and the other side is they have you more in their sites. the last two years, people are tired. i just can't take anymore. i am shut down. wake me up when the next guys in office. six-seven years of george books books. the appetite for books about a president never goes away. donald trump is an exception. everything he has done has intensely polarizing. he is a mystery. in some way. i've started a list of political novels. that is an external project. liberty island is a small independent publishing operation being written by conservative and libertarians. fiction categories. these are books that could not be published in mainstream commercial publishing. because they are just little too secretary in. i did feel the need to create a feeder system where these people are self-publishing, primarily. many of them very talented tiered i also felt the need for the conservative movement to move a little bit more in the direction of contesting this space of public culture, popular culture. basically, what are argue is that the culture war has, as we

lots of staff have gone from the brexit ministry across to the cabinet office.have the prime minister's ear is ollie robins? —— and why would you deal with dominic ryan. the prime minister has begun a two day trip to northern ireland in belleek, county fermanagh. it's theresa may's first visit to the irish border since the brexit referendum and she will be speaking to businesses on the border and political leaders. mrs may's previously been criticised for failing to meet those who live and work near what is to become the uk's only land border with the eu. the israeli parliament has passed into law a controversial bill that defines the country as an exclusivelyjewish state. the legislation also downgrades arabic as an official language and says advancing jewish settlement is a national interest. it also states that the ‘whole and united' jerusalem is the state's capital. prime minister benjamin netanyahu praised the bill saying the absolute majority of the country wants to ensure the states jewish character for generations to come. donald trump has attacked the e

to sign paperwork, they were fitted with an ankle monitor and then in an administrative office with filing cabinetsoys, were three children in that office, a one and a half-year-old, a three-year-old and a four-year-old that this father was hoping to be reunited with and then these fathers came to tears as they embraced their children for the first time. this particular father hadn't seen his son in 43 days. so extremely emotional. and when we look at the big picture, the government said it separated about 102 children, 38 of those children were reunited yesterday. 37 are still stuck in the process going through background checks. 27, poppy, the government says are not fit to be reunited and the reason why, the government says they have criminal backgrounds or a danger to the children. >> rosa flores, thank you very much and keep us posted as we see more of these families reunited hopefully soon. let's talk about this. david gergen is back with me as is molly ball. molly, the explanation from secretary azar is essentially -- and i don't have time to play the whole thing -- but look 16 reunification

start polluting the air by these perverts from up here in oklahoma that sat there and spy cabinets for the office because they were so criminally minded that they had to protect themselves from the public. >> okay. amy harder. >> yeah. well, i think the caller is bringing together a lot of different issues that are coming to a head under the trump administration. i think this idea of what type of news to trust is a really big one. i was just reading a new study posted on pointer about how people trust news sources more if they don't know where it comes from which as a reporter is very demoralizing. it's like you wouldn't eat salad if you just saw it on the street and didn't know where it came from, but suddenly that's what people do with their news information. so i think that's a really important question and something that as a reporter i am mindful of when i report on this very polarized issue. on the part about storms and when they land and whether it's under obama or trump, i mean it's just sort of luck of the draw. i mean the oil and natural gas boom happened on obama's watch, but obama was
