good morning, christi. admits he was misleading two weeks ago in regards to an alleged 2015 incident of domestic abuse involving his former assistant coach, zach smith, and smith's ex-wife, courtney. here meyer was denying knowledge of this incident. >> i got a text late last night that something happened in 2015, and there was nothing, unless, once again, there's nothing -- once again, i don't know who creates a story like that. >> but late friday, meyer, who is now on paid leave, released a nearly 500-word statement, saying he did report the 2015 incident, following proper protocols, and he apologized for being misleading, saying in part, "my words, whether in a reply to a reporter's question, or in addressing a personal issue, must be clear, compassionate, and most of all, completely accurate. unfortunately, at big ten media days on july 24th, i failed on many of these fronts." meyer said he wasn't prepared to discuss sensitive, personal issues regarding smith, who he had fired just one day prior to big

christi? >> paula, thank you so much.now, senior military analyst. thank you for being here. first and foremost, was canceling this the right thing to do? >> probably. in this case, what you're looking at is a situation where the iaea report is absolutely right, the north koreans are continuing to do the kinds of things that we are worried about. they are producing nuclear weapons. they're looking at ways in which they can increase the yield of those nuclear weapons. they're deploying those potentially in other parts of the country. and that's really something that does not seem to be within the spirit of the agreement that president trump reached in singapore. the issue, though, is when you look at the statement from singapore that president trump and kim jong-un signed, it's vague enough that everything that the north koreans have done so far is basically within the parameters of what was signed there. >> so, with that said, what would be an effective strategy for the u.s. dealing with north korea moving forward? >> wel

>> not really, christi. when you hear the way in which the air traffic controllers handled this, it was extremely professional. very calm and, like you said, they're, in essence, trying to talk the guy down. there is really nothing that they can do except guide an individual like this to a safer landing zone. in this case, you know, the water was a possibility. certainly you wanted to keep him away from residential areas things like schools and other areas where the public might congregate. at that point in time, there was probably very little in the way of activity in the schools, but that is one of the big things they would want to do. you really want to make sure that in some ways you give that person enough instruction so that they can land the plane as safely as possible, but in most cases like this, you don't find them really capable of receiving that kind of instruction. so, it's a real challenge for air traffic controllers. >> so, these were certainly some aerobatics that this john who recorded this

christi and victor? >> ryan, any response from the white house about the immunity deals reached by weisselberg and pecker? >> reporter: no, they're not talking about it specifically, victor, but you can tell that the president is sending a message to some of these folks, you know. in this interview with "fox & friends," he specifically said that he doesn't like people who flip, that he apprises loyalty and he actually believes that flipping should almost be illegal is how he described it. this is not something that the president is very fond of at all, but we should also keep in mind that we don't know the extent of their cooperation with federal investigators. we know that michael cohen specifically implicated the president in a crime while he was in court, but we don't know how much allen weisselberg has told authorities. the initial reporting is that the immunity agreement just involved the investigation into michael cohen. and we also don't know exactly the extent of cooperation that david pecker has

>> no, they haven't, christi. the president talked and michael cohen the third triumphant that decided to turn to some exten. he talks how he despises people who flip and subjected flipping should be illegal. so loyalty is important to the president. so he cannot be happy about the fact two of his associates, david pecker and allen weisselberg have zoodecided to cooperate. it could be contained into the investigation into michael cohen. in fact, weisselberg, in particular, we are told it did involve his cooperation and his immunity extended to that point. many legal experts say once begin cooperation with federal authorities, it is open ended and you can be asked questions in the future the question, will robert mueller be interested if talking to either of these two men, could that be included into his investigation? that's a question we don't have the answer to this morning. >> brian nobles, thanks tore break it down for us. >> a legal analyst and criminal attorney, welcome to "new day" saturday. >> thank you. >

i am christi paul. >> i am victor blackwell. you're in the cnn "newsroom." >> listen, in the last hour, president trump really seems to be hitting the justice department, calling out attorney general jeff sessions. there's a barrage of tweets, he says sessions must get control of the justice department or he may, quote, have to get involved. the big change from what he said earlier in the week. listen to this. >> i really feel as long as this is going on, i don't have to do this, but i will stay uninvolved and maybe that's the best thing to do. >> cnn ryan nobles with us from the white house. obviously a major escalation from what he said a couple of days ago. >> victor, you predicted this, right? you said expect tweets from the president this morning. you were right. it is like you have been down this road before. yet the president is clearly trying to draw a line here in the investigation into his campaign activities with russia. and to a certain extent trying to distract from that investigation and focus back on hillary clint

christy: i don't think people are willing to hear each other.are so entrenched in their positioning that they are not willing to hear there may be a difference. and that is what we strive to do. i think it's healthy, what is happening is healthy for this community. because the community is grappling with what it wants to value moving through the 21st century. so here is the geoff davis monument. when i look at the statues, they don't have the same power for me. i understand them in the environment in which these things were built. but for people who have a truly visceral, emotional reaction, you can't discount that either. if we can't understand this american crisis, and trauma, and how it all came together, we cannot be what we're intended to be. that's my it's important. that's why i still do what i do. soledad: despite the recommendations from the commission, current state law does not allow cities to remove war memorials. general assembly rejected bills that would have given cities control over the fate of confederate statues. >> coming up n

christie spoke to this point. former president obama did think pretty traditionally in the sense that he would hold press conferences. when something big happened and he wanted to get on the record with it, he would come to the briefing room. that is not really something that president trump does in that same format. he will often surprise us. one recent example of that, several weeks ago, after he had a summit with kim jong-un, he came out to the white house south lawn and took a stroll, to do an interview with fox in front of fox's cameras, and afterwards, did pretty much a full press conference with the rest of us who were waiting behind him. we had very little heads up. in fact, it was through a tweet. he said perhaps i will come out to the north lawn. [laughter] >> so we did not know if he was serious. his officials did not know if he was serious. one of his top official said, you know, i don't think you guys need to be waiting out here. and i said, really? we cannot go back inside until your he says this is
