senator ben carden of maryland. guest: it's good to be with you. host: we have in studey, the ite house reporter and the sociated press chief congressional correspondent. >> i wanted to ask you a little bit about what seemed to have been a pretty consequential week in foreign policy news in general but particularly on the question of congressional correspondent. ru relationship with russia going forward. we heard an awful lot about that and about president trump's interaction with president putin during the hearing the other day with secretary of state, and now there's some back and forth invitation to washington might precede an invitation to moscow. you g first, no you go first i wonder whether you think it's a good idea for president trump to meet again with president putin. guest: first, the summit in he will sinkie was really a disaster. in moscow they were cheering about it, in the white house they were scrambling to try to salvage a lot of comments. if you listened to the hearing in the senate foreign relations committee with the secretary o

this hour, i'll talk with democratic senator ben carden and mark sanford. our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. let's go to jeff zeleny. the summit fallout continues as round two is now in the works. >> reporter: the white house clearly doubling down on this idea of building a new relationship with vladimir putin, the white house announcing it's extending a new invitation for vladimir putin to come here in the fall. we do not know if that would be before or after the midterm elections but that is a central question, because u.s. intelligence officials say that russia is still trying to interfere in u.s. elections. but the nation's top spy chief, when he was told about this, he had two words to say. say what? the u.s. intelligence chief saying tonight he had to correct president trump's incorrect claim russia had no role in attacking american democracy. >> it was important to take that stand on behalf of the intelligence community and the american people. >> reporter: dan coats, the president's hand picked director of national intelligence, s

senator carden was spent $3 bil it systems that weren't working. the an original author along with me and senator hatch and ortsdz members on the committee now after sustained improvement we are back to some of the very same issues again. once again the agency tasked with helping americans carry out one of the most basic duties is failing to serve in an effective manner. so it's an opportunity to reboot again. congress i think has an this. t in doing senator widen and chairman hatch have been involved in putting forward solutions to some of the thing that is the i.r.s. is this. senator struggling with. i support those and i support what the house has done. but we think there is more to do as well. this is why today i introduced with senator carden the protecting taxpayer act. its goals are to revitalize the structure, proincrease taxpayer protections, better serve lo income taxpayers, overhaul and strengthen the infrastructure. the office is critical but i would like to get feedback from you on a couple of things. first we completely rethink one of

. >> thank you, senator ben carden for being here. that was some of the fiery exchanges. we also saw it yesterday during this hearing. yet there was also substance. let me play the moment where he explains the red case for why they opened an investigation into russia and the trump campaign. here is that moment. >> the information that we had that was alleged a russian offer of assistance from the trump campaign, was extraordinary significance. it was an extraordinary and credible source. senator, what did you hear at this hearing? what did we learn from it? >> alisyn, this was clearly a show put on by the republicans. mr. strzok has certain views, he was very open about that, the question is not his personal political views, it's how it affected his responsibilities as an fbi agent, and there is no evidence that it affected his way of participating in the information. none of that was made available before the investigation. so i think we're really being distracted by this hearing, and i think that was probably the main purpose to try to raise questions again about the mu

you know, this is -- i wrote the magnitsky act for senators carden and wicker and other members of congress sense, this is an attack on them too. >> how are you being harassed? >> you know, i have received threats emanating from russia in previous years. i think in 2014 when we first imposed some pretty punishing sanctions on russian officials. >> ten seconds. what do you hope ambassador mcfaul gets from the white house today? >> well, it would be nice to see an unambiguous pushback from the very top, something like the president's tweet recently to the president of iran. to president putin, mentioning in no uncertain terms. >> maybe an all caps tweet. that would be nice. thank you for joining us. "inside politics" with john king starts right now. >>> thank you, dana. welcome to "inside politics." i'm jauohn king. president trump is in missouri this hour for a speech to the veterans of foreign wars. plus, the threat to revoke security clearances. a -- of former top intelligence officials. and don't believe everything you find on the internet. really. this just

with me now is senator ben carden. thank you for being here. let me begin with this letter. this is the letter that you sent to president trump just last week. you call out putin's what you call asymmetric warfare against democracy and you tweeted that you sent it to the president hoping that he would take it to heart. did he? >> it's good to be with you. he did not. what that report pointed out is that you give mr. putin an opening, and he's going to take it as far as we let him take it. we saw that in the invasion of ukraine and the annexation of cry me crime crimea. now the attack on our election system with the president of the united states giving mr. putin cover. who this points out is that we're extremely vulnerable to mr. putin's continued attack against our democracy. >> as you know, former intel chief john brennan, within minutes after this press conference wrapping up yesterday, he said that this exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors and was nothing short of treasonous. do you think the president's actions rise to the level of treason? >> i think w

the font on our screen right now is almost too tiny to read, senator carden, that's not the fault of our operators, it's the fault of the epa administrator for having racked up that many scandals. what does that say about the approach to president's governing that it took this long? >> it demonstrates that the president liked what scott pruitt was doing on rolling back regulations on clean water and clean air. what he did in easing the ability of oil and gas companies to get oil and gas here in the united states. and the list goes on and on and on. so he liked the fact that scott pruitt was carrying out president trump's agenda. and that was more important to him than the ethical issues. it's amazing it took this long. >> and the president says scott pruitt deputy andrew wheeler will temporarily take over that position as administrator. former lobbyist for the coal industry. sara was just talking about the angst inside the environmental community about andrew wheeler coming on board and taking over that agency. do you think this anti-regulatory mission at the epa is going to continue

. >> dana: and something that ben carden had to say this morning, one of the senators from maryland,peaking on msnbc saying that the federalist society is an extreme group. i do not think of them as extreme. how would you describe them? >> they stand for three principles that are difficult to argue against, they say that the state exists to preserve freedom. they say that the separation of powers is important to the constitution. and they say that it i is the jb of a judge to say what the law is, not to just invent the law. and so i think that probably every judge on the president trump shortlist believes in those principles. i believe that the vast number of americans believes in those principles. for the past 12 years, judge kavanaugh has been fighting in the trenches taking incoming fire to defend those principles. >> dana: yes. and let me ask you, before working in the bush white house or working as a judge he had worked on that ken star investigation of hillary clinton and he has views about executive power and how presidents should be treated while in power. that might give con

democratic senator ben carden of maryland will be one of the lawmakers questioning pompeo.s joining us live from capitol hill. thanks for joining us. we learned today that during his testimony, pompeo's expected to declare that the u.s. will not recognize russia's annexation of crimea in ukraine. why didn't the president flatly say that in helsinki? >> wolf, it's mystifying why the president did what he did in helsinki, why he didn't dismiss out of hand the interrogation by russia of american citizens, why he was not public in bringing up to mr. putin interference in our elections. the list goes on and on and on. but today is the first opportunity that congress will have to question a high-level trump official on what happened in helsinki. and it's also our first opportunity to question in regards to what happened in singapore with north korea. this administration has not been forthcoming with the american people or congress as to what happened in these one-on-one meetings. >> is there one single question you most want to ask pompeo about the trump/putin summit? >> yes, i w

listen to maryland senator benl carden speaking about this. >> clearly the president is looking at at prepared by an extreme group that has an agenda that really wants to just ratify the president's policies. i think what the american people need to be concerned about is we're talking about changing the balance on the intreem court that's going to affect their rights. a woman's right of choice, worker rights, consumer rights. >> we may have a progress report from the president tonight at a campaign rally in the great state of montana. but we're going to be introduced to the president's nominee to replace justice kennedy on the supreme court at 9:00 monday night. >> trace: former executive from this network works at the white house. >> bill shooin, former co-president of fox news, signed on as deputy communications. i've run into shine on many occasions at the white house and around the neighborhood, always told me it's not done yet. well earlier this afternoon it was done and he's accompanying the president on the trip to montana. trace? >> trace: john roberts, live, thank you. more

this hour, i'll talk with senate foreign relations committee member, ben carden. and i'll also speak with the german ambassador to the united states, emily hopper. and our correspondents and analysts, they are all standing by. first, let's go to our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta, with the president in brussels. jim, the president went there looking, what, for a fight? >> reporter: sure seems like it, wolf. this is exactly what u.s. allies feared this week the president ripping into the nato alliance just before he meets with russian president vladimir putin. the president actually began a tweet earlier today with four words. "what good is nato." >> good morning, everybody. good morning to the media. the legitimate media and the fake news media. >> reporter: it was an unsettling scene in brussels as president trump picked a fight with nato. accusing long-standing allies in the decades-old partnership of taking advantage of u.s. military might. >> many countries owe us a tremendous amount of money since many years back when they were delinquent. no oth

>> ambassadors, if you'll both stand by, i want to bring in democratic senator ben carden, a member of the foreign relations committee. your reaction to what you saw today on this stage in helsinki? >> andrea, i thought mr. putin did exactly what we thought he could do. we're shocked with our president. we've known for a long time that mr. putin directed the attack against our country. we now have indicted individuals from russia that were involved in it. we have the report from the senate foreign relations it and committee documented this and the intelligence committee report. everyone knows that russia was behind that. mr. putin was behind it and the president of the united states standing right next to mr. putin agrees with mr. putin. it is absolutely shocking. we really do have to recognize how detrimental this entire trip has been to our national security, questioning their leaders and embracing a dictator like mr. putin, it raises serious questions of the national security of america. >> phil rucker, i want to ask him about the dynamic in the room when jonathan lemir and jeff mas

senator ben carden of maryland. guest: it's good to be with you.t: we have in studey, the ite house reporter and the sociated press chief congressional correspondent. >> i wanted to ask you a little bit about what seemed to have been a pretty consequential we

has done, but we think there's more to do as well, and this is why today i introduce with senator carden the protecting taxpayer act, bipartisan legislation to make the irs more responsive and accountable to taxpayers. we'll talk about that a little today. goals are to revitalize the organizational structure to increase taxpayer protections, better serve low income taxpayers, overhaul the irs appeals process and strengthen the irs i.t. infrastructure. critical to the agency but i'd like to get feedback from you all on a couple of things. first, we completely rethink one of the key provisions of the 98 reform bill, when we originally thought of the idea of the board back in 1998, our idea was to create a board of directors for the irs that would guide the direction and the long-term strategy of the agency, provide private sector expertise and expertise along with experience and every administration since then really has not supported the oversight board, including the current one and as a result fallen by the wayside and the board suspended operations a couple years ago and technically on

>> it has not been, senator c carden. we have tried to have that dialogue with the administration. by and large, the administration has been very receptive when our business community comes to express concerns and have always given us a good hearing. we feel like we have had a good hearing on the trade issues but have not broken through on the risks that are being posed by the way the administration is going about it. now, on the china question, there's still time. and i believe that if ambassador lighthiser were here right now, he would say, yes, we have a strategy and we are working on the negotiating position. but the anxiety throughout the business community big and small is that the strategy is not one coherent and designed to prod e produce. success in this case is not tit for tat. look at the reform of the chinese policy and practices. there's time for the administration to do that. i'm hopeful they are doing that. we're hear speaking out to see the evidence that they are. >> have you focused on this? the complaints against china are global. we're not the only country that h

region of ukraine, and we passed legislation, which you had an exchange with my colleague, senator carden, about. and this is the transcript that you said, you said, thank you for presenting the law. we really appreciate it. we think it makes good sense. the president signed it as well. we've passed sanctions under the law and we have passed it. but we haven't used all of the sanctions. now, i was excited to see nikki haley come out and say that we were about to put on new sanctions. in fact, the rnc got talking points from the white house telling their pundits to say exactly what nikki haley said before the united nations that we were going to put on additional sanctions, but we haven't used those tools in our toolbox. they said nikki haley was confused. she said i'm sorry, i wasn't confused. this was a step the white house was going to take, so i hope you understand that there's many of us in a bipartisan manner that feel like we've put tools in the toolbox, but the president has shrunk from taken them and using those tools to stand strong against people that are ongoing attacks on the
