dan white was pretty sure of five votes on the board. there were 11 people. you had to be able to count to six, and harvey what event the six vote. as a dan immediately gave an incredible speech, not at all characteristic of him but he just wanted to get his bill passed so he told the people on the committee that he had served with gave people will and black people in vietnam and he knew they could do as good a job as anyone else, and it was unfair to discriminate against black people and gave people and the committee should vote in favor of the bill and get it out of the committee, and that's what they did. it went to the board of supervisors. the board of supervisors was going to vote on it. dan white's bill came up, and harvey couldn't do it. he just could not do what he promised dan white, and so he voted against the opposition to having a home for troubled youth built, or open up to troubled youth in dan white's district. and dan white was furious. he immediately made a motion as soon as harvey's bill came up to send it back to committee and, of course, n

josh, bouncing off what jeremy was saying, white house officials are upset with dan coats. dni is upset with the white house. "washington post" is reporting that a senior white house official says coats has gone rogue. is that your sense of things? is coats being caught off guard in one case and in another reacting to the president being wrong on the intelligence assessment? >> there's palpable frustration within the white house of dan coats' interview, how he was critical of the president for meeting with putin once, for doing it again. he showed his cards on stage that he had no idea the president was inviting vladimir putin back to the white house this fall. i don't think dan coats is the most popular person in the white house today. his frustrations seemed to express the ad hoc meeting. a lot of white house officials don't know what was said in the meeting, trying to unspool what it means. you have a disconnect between the president and his administration. now that dan coats, as a prominent member of the administration, is out showing some of the frustrations, you are se

this put dan coats' relationship with the white house and president back on the rocks. eared earlier this week he was back on track. remember initially dan coats issued a statement defending the intelligence community after the president's news conference there, but then the president just a couple days later said that he thought dan coats was excellent. he said he trusted his judgments. now again, all of this back on the rocks. one of the intelligence officials that spoke with cnn said they were worried about potential comey moment, that's referring to the firing of the fbi director james comey, but a lot of speculation now abounding at the white house and in the intelligence community about dan coats' future. we'll keep you up to date on that. brooke? >> stay on that, jeremy. thank you very much. onto the analysis of dan coats and putin coming to washington, with me now, cnn national security analyst steve paul who served as chief of russia operations for the cia and shane harris, intelligence reporter for the post. wrote the book at war, the rise of the internet milit

white house -- >> did i hear you? >> yeah. yeah. >> okay. >> yeah. >> that's going to be special. >> the director of national intelligence dan coats this weekend is apologizings initial awkward response to the news president trump had invited putin to the white house for a second summit in the fall. in a statement last night dan coats said this, "some press conferen coverage mischaracterized information presented to me. my awkward response is in no way meant to be disrespectful or criticize the actions of the president. i and the entire intel community are committed to providing the best intelligence to inform and support president trump's on going efforts to prevent russian meddling in our upcoming elections." so that may be their goal, but breaking again tonight, the president is reversing course again. calling the issue of russia election interference all a big hoax. joining me now is cnn political commentator and senior columnist at the daily beast matt lewis and associate editor for "real clear politics" amy stodard. the president had to issue a clarification for his comments in helsinki and now this it's a hoax tweet? >> this is what he always does tho

i have never seen one party turn on the leader in the white house of their own party so quickly and with such force. >> yeah, and not to mention dan found out the news, saying he would have to evaluate the intelligence risk of having vladimir putin at the white house ahead of the midterm elections. molly hooper, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >>> still ahead, an update from missouri after a tourist boat capsizes in stormy weather killing at least 11 people. the search is still on for five people this morning. we are back in a moment with those details. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. >>> now to an update on a tragic story from mi

white house. >> ned, you were there, you were in the room when dan coats learned about the invitation for putin the white house. here is a look at that moment. >> we have breaking news, the white house announceod twitter that valdimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again? >> valdimir putin -- >> okay. that's going to be special. >> we hear the laughter, tell us about the reaction from the room when that happened. >> well, aaron, it was an extraordinary moment. the audience reacted in the way you would expect. oddable gasps, and stunned silence turned to laughter. director coats, taking part in the laughter himself. the first reactions from the audience, that stunned silence that turned to gasps and laughter, we all learned together that our director, our spy master, the man to know all the secrets was in the dark, kept in the dark by his own president. by our commander in chief, something that intelligence community has a deep equity n hoping they will be involved in putin's visit. >> do you see any correlation between the president's comments this past week, and th

the announcement on twitter by white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders catching many by surprise, including the director of national intelligence dan coats. he learned the news from nbc's andrea mitchell during a live interview at the aspen security forum. >> we have some breaking news. the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again. >> vladimir putin coming -- >> did i hear you? >> yes, yes. >> okay. >> yes. >> that's going to be special. >> that's going to be special. it is a noupsment comes after president trump faced massive bipartisan -- i'm going to say that one more time -- bipartisan backlash for his commons with putin in finland. can you believe that was on monday? feels like a lifetime ago. namely for not backing trump's own intelligence community's clear a segme assessment that m interfeared in the 2016 election and blaming the u.s. for deteriorating relations with russia. in a week of walkbacks, clarifications, clean-ups and reversal, the white house now says president trump is rejecting putin's offer to allow u.s. investigators to question 12 rus

watch dan coats reaction when he learned that the white house press secretary just tweeted that donald trump has invited vladimir putin to the white house. >> we have some breaking news. the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again. >> vladimir putin -- >> did i hear you right? >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. that's going to be special. >> he already told andrea he has no idea what donald 2ru78 and vladimir putin discussed on monday. they have no idea why president trump is rewarding vladimir putin with an invitation to the white house. nbc news said this. >> the white house announcement that andrea referenced earlier said putin was invited to washington this fall. were you aware of that? i just want to clarify? >> based on my reaction i wasn't aware of that. >> would you recommend there would be a one-on-one without note takers? >> if i were asked that question, i would look for a different way of doing it. >> congressman adam schiff and eric tried to find out what dan coats and no one else in the trump administration

sarah westwood, what does that stunned reaction tell you about dan coats and the decision making within the whitef the bipartisan criticisms of president trump not just with the helsinki summit, but in general with russia, that president trump has not taken the serious intelligence information by agencies where he installed the leaders. he is not looping in his director of national intelligence dan coats. he is not relying on dan coats for how to conduct the meetings. now it is difficult to see what president trump thinks he might gain by an additional meeting with vladimir putin. all of the controversy surrounding the summit in helsinki will make it difficult for trump to conduct the thaw he envisioned in washington. an additional meeting in washington will cause more problems for him domestically and make that goal of reaching that deal with russia more difficult. >> it is similar of his golf game. he takes a mulligan whenever he wants a mulligan. he just re-tees it up. >> let's talk about the polls. we know how trump has been handling the helsinki summit. you break it down by republicans. 68%

stage, we all remember that moment out of the security forum when andrea mitchell advised dan coates the whiteputin to come to washington. he was, of course, gobsmacked by that and expressed a surprise to the administration. well, it is clear now that the meeting is being delayed. they're saying it is because of the russian investigation. brooke, it's actually more than that. remember the criticism really across the board, particularly from republicans who said they did not want vladimir putin in washington at all, certainly around the midterm elections. and more importantly, more to the point, moscow had never accepted this

dan coats, as well. that he wouldn't know that there was this discussion or even planning. who will be involved in a planned summit at the white house? >> reporter: i think in terms of why dan coats didn't know, the white house was saying that they tried to reach the dni's office. weren't able to talk to him directly. so they wanted to avoid leaks. so he wasn't briefed on the latest invitation. certainly was surprised and in fact seemed to indicate he didn't think maybe that there should be another summit. i think the whole administration if there was a second meeting, would be involved. certainly national security adviser john bolton. secretary of state mike pompeo, if there is nuclear talks obviously defense secretary mattis would help prepare the president for this, but since, again, you know, as everybody is saying no one really knows what was kind of agreed to or what was put, you know, for further discussion at this summit, they don't know how to help the president or brief the president. i think in the coming days and weeks we'll have to hear what went on at this summit to know why it's so fortunate have a second one. >

white house this fall. can you just make sense of everything that we have seen this week? >> no. i cannot. what worries me about that, i thought dan coata fine job of trying to play it off and try to make a -- put a little humor on that problem, but that is significant problem if you're director of national intelligence coordinating the information flowing through the intelligence agencies, doesn't know what happened in the meeting which means there was no agenda to try to accomplish and then no debriefing on what that could or couldn't accomplish in the meeting, all of that is problematic. what bothers me most is vladimir putin had the defense minister say we have been so successful in information operations, we are creating special units in the defense ministry of russia to do these information operations. and then, of course, that's why the gru, military intelligence side, indicted just recently which means they're moving out smartly and showing no sign of slowing up. what i think the president doesn't know and not willing to admit what he doesn't snow that putin is putting together, he's writing the script for future informati

stage, we all remember that moment out of the security forum when andrea mitchell advised dan coates the white house had invited vladimir putin to come to washington. he was, of course, gobsmacked by that and expressed a surprise to the administration. well, it is clear now that the meeting is being delayed. they're saying it is because of the russian investigation. brooke, it's actually more than that. remember the criticism really across the board, particularly from republicans who said they did not want vladimir putin in washington at all, certainly around the midterm elections. and more importantly, more to the point, moscow had never accepted this invitation. the kremlin acknowledged the invitation but did not accept the invitation. so the white house to me appears to be trying to head off a potentially embarrassing decline of a meeting by saying, no, we're going to put this off until next year. but brooke, they do not know when the russian investigation will be over. it's likely to be a continuing into next year. so this is certainly one of the reasons why usually meetings of this magnit

his performance just days earlier. >> it's interesting seeing dan coats' response to this news about putin potentially coming to the white house in october or in the fall, perhaps. you know, it's a very jin win response that i think a lot of trump administration officials have when they hear news coming out of the white house whether it be through twitter or white house statements, considering the fact many unpredictable moves that president trump likes to make. vladimir putin coming to the white house seems to be more of a do-over concerning the helsinki summit was such a pr disaster for the white house and the amount of walkbacking that trump has had to make, seem to be, you know, taking another step further. i don't think dan coats really has much most apologize for. it seems to be a genuine reaction -- a genuine human reaction he seems to be having. >> i don't happen. i wasn't in the room, again. but if people there took it as he was laughing at the president or laughing at the decision, it's just the situation he and andrea mitchell found themselves in. julian, does this settle this? there had been reports that the

white house. the news coming is a surprise to dan coats. his own director of national intelligence, who found out in a live television interview. you decide a do-over without any telling your director of national intelligence? this comes just a few days after coats released a statement reaffirming that russia did, in fact, attack the 2016 election. he does that just after his boss, the president, called putin's denial a responsibility "extremely strong and powerful." the fbi director christopher ray said yesterday russia attempted to interfere with the last election, and that continues to engage and influence operations to this day. cia chief turned secretary of state mike pompeo confirmed russia's hacking and warned it would continue. all three hand picked by, guess who. president trump. all three with decisive assessments about russia's actions and intentions, and, yet, the president casts doubt on that while standing along side vladimir putin, of all people. got to ask yourself, why is that? i want to bring in now cnn political analyst a

to let dan coats be out there hanging out to dry when breaking news about an invitation to putin was put out. >> yeah. and that was some reporting that i did last night with sources in the whitese. they were furious with dan coats the dni. the thing is this wasn't some sort of gasp by dan coats. he was just answering honestly. these were candid answers to andrea's very good questions. he's not somebody who does a lot of interviews like this. you don't see him on the sunday shows. you don't see him out all over the place. he was responding to in a candi fashion. that got the white house so upset. >> it has been a remarkable week. jewel yash julia, if i ever write a back about this, i may call it the pakistani gentleman. thank you all for joining me tonight. thnchts week revived some serious talk about imimpeachment. and there is one person who has been out in front of everyone else on that issue. tom stire, the billionaire activist that called for the impeachment of president trump after this. brad's about to find out if his denture can cope with... a steak. luckily for him, he uses super poligrip. it helps give him 65% more chewing power. leaving brad to dig in and enjoy. sup

the national security field and from the hill for the way he handled that blindsiding of dan coats thursday. the whiteouse tried to say coats was out of the loop, he was in aspen. the facts are that it is my understanding that pompeo was also blindsided, thatm none of them knew, and none of the consultation that you would expect from the national security adviser took place before sarah sanders sent out that e-mail inviting vladimir putin. let's look at corker and pompeo. >> so somehow there's this idea that this administration is free floating. this is president trump's administration, make no mistake, who is fully in charge of this and is directing each of these activities. >> i notice that you are not responding to what i'm saying. >> i think i responded to everything that you said, senator. >> no, you didn't. and the fact is that -- you just didn't, okay? >> we disagree. >> no, we don't disagree. we'll let the transcript speak. it's the president's public statements that create concern among senators on both sides of the aisle. and i was asking you if in fact there was some, you know, some rhyme o

dan pfeiffer has written a book based on his experiences. he talks about what happened to the whiteh more is the goal of persuading those outside the young peopleput that politics can be more than a game for wii welcome dan pfeiffer. he is coming to us from san francisco. congratulations on the book. as we look at the midterm elections, it seems there are more people coming into the process. it is what you want to do for your buck. many of them because they object to president trump. is that enough? is it enough to be against someone or something or does there have to be a firmer message from the democrats? dan: there has to be more of a message. i think people are coming because they are against trump, but it reminded them that politics is not something they can sit at. in 2016 or sat out didn't vote. now they see the consequences on a painful aces. -- basis. democrats need to have a message that shows they are worthy vehicles of this enthusiasm. if you look at the primaries right now, it is hard to draw a straight line through these candidates. we have here in new york a woman who

dan coats did not know he was going to have these people kislyak and others last spring. did he not know putin was not going to be welcome at the whites hung out to dry on the world stage by the president on monday. and this is what happens. the president as he has grown into this job has decided he doesn't always need to consult with them. so, we are also told that it was more what he saw on television than the words of the vice president mike pence and satisfies mike pompeo about turning this around that really made him come out with a clarification in an attempt to turn it around. >> bret: has he turned it around. >> no, he hasn't turned it around. >> bret: has the mike cohen tapes turned it around. >> that will turn it around. >> new scandal to divert attention from the old scandal. as far as coats is concerned i don't think his job is in jeopardy but can you imagine that they are quite irritated with him. like if you want to hang out with andrea mitchell and her friends in aspen, go ahead. but don't expect us to be happy about it. >> bret: the establishment. next up, the friday lightning round. tariffs, trump derangement syndrom

how do you think that is going to go over at the white house? >> dan's comments there, i think at the end of the day i understand what the president is doing, he wants to be at the front of his team advocating for all the intelligence agencies that are reporting up to him. i respect that. but i also think that he has to acknowledge that the president won for a reason. he is a different person. he is a disruptor in chief, he is trying things that are unpredictable to watch in this establishment. some of it is not going super well, some of it is going very, very well, the strength of the economy, things going on which i predict will happen favorably in north korea et cetera. for me, i think if you are on the president's team, you are working inside the white house, it is fair to call balls and strikes, the best people, most loyal people are going to tell you the truth right your face what is going on. he knows he's at an establishment event there, he's probably leaning in a certain way that i don't think the president would like, necessarily. but at the en

dan coats obviously surprised. >> vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again? >> reporter: this as the white house issued another russia walk back. after proposal by putin that russian authorities would question with americans invited to watch. in exchange moscow allowed to question u.s. citizens accused of unspecified crimes. idea that president trump seemed pleased with. >> what he did, incredible offer. >> one of the people, former ambassador to russia michael mcfaul. >> my government i hope will step up and categorically swat this back. i mean my president os >> reporter: as well as democrats and republicans. >> there is no rule of law in russia, there's the rule of putin. >> that the president would entertain the idea of subjecting our diplomats to putin's thuggery is an abuse of power. >> reporter: amid that criticism, white house is changing course. sanders saying it was made in sincerity by president putin but president -- in rare show of solidarity. >>> hours after person was hit and killed by train. in sunnyvale while investigators searched for clues.

who were involved in trying to stop him from being president and trying to get him out of the white house. >> danrying to keep him from being president? >> let me finish. he's talking about his own intelligence apparatus now. and i think the fact he did -- >> it's our apparatus. this is not a kingdom. >> talking about his own appointees. >> and he still threw them under the bus. he still said putin was strong, i know my guys say it was russia but he made a great case, and there's trouble on both sides, michael. because there's moral equivalence between russia and the united states, right? but he said all of those things. >> i think that was a mistake. i think the moral equivalence argument is a loser. i think the idea the idea of conflating the two, the collusion and the meddling is a loser. it's a loser for republicans, it's a loser for democrats. but i was pleased with the way this thing was going from his opening statement all the way until the gotcha question came up. >> he's the president of the united states. >> i was hoping the president of the united states could resist it, but he couldn'

it's clear that dan coats is at least not in the loop in the white house when it comes to this aspectrussia relationship. do we know if anyone in the administration knows what happened in the close door meeting between trump and putin? >> no. it's unclear who knows what happened except for donald trump. and the aides i spoke with are a little upset by the fact that when the president tells them what happened, he perhaps presents himself as an unreliable narrator. you wrote this and this caught my attention. a piece in politico, this is our pearl harbor. you write in 2016, our country was targetted by an attack with an overarching strategy. the aim is every bit as much to demonstrate the american home land as pearl harbor or 9/11. can any walk back mitigate the damage by exonerating the man? >> there is always the ability to walk this back in the sense of what we all have been saying since january 2017. if the president owns this and admits that russia has attacked the american public, russia tacked the american people, russia akd that the american homeland and actually does anything a

and the director of national intelligence, dan coats, his reaction is all of us. >> the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again? [ laughter ] >> you -- vladimir putin coming to the -- >> did i hear you? >> yeah. yeah. >> okay. >> yeah. >> that's going to be special. >> told you, it's all of us. did you see him? he's like, you're kidding me, right? it's kind of everybody's reaction every day. really? is this happening? wouldn't you think you would tell your top intelligence official that you're inviting the leader of an enemy nation to the white house? he was just caught off guard, flatfooted right there. maybe even ask him what he thinks of the idea. not if you're president trump. after all, dan coats admits he, like the rest of us, doesn't even know what happened in the last meeting between trump and putin. >> i don't know what happened in that meeting. if he had asked me how that ought to be conducted, i would have suggested a different way. >> well, and speaking of the cleanup, now three days after vladimir

white house. what did you think? >> well, you know how they say no man is an island, i think he's an island. i think he's alone here. i think danoats did not know, it was clear his surprise was real, and maybe the white house had been trying to get in touch with him and he is in aspen, we toe don't know the whole sisttory. the body language and making a joke because he was clearly so stunned means it is not something he would do or recommend. i mean, don't forget, this is a president, he also said in that same interview by the way he would not have recommended the president meet with putin with just a translater there, but he said that's not my job. and i think in terms of, mike allen can talk about this, i think in terms of the intelligence community i think their heads are spinning because there's never been anything like this. they haven't been debriefed completely according to reporting at cnn and elsewhere, and then to set up another summit immediately after is head scratching. makes you wonder if the president is just angry that everybody is angry at him. >> how fast are those heads spinning? >> they were pretty fast. my

white house -- >> okay. that's going to be special. >> as "the washington post" says, they said dan coats is laughing at them? >> he is reacting in time. i found the phrasing of that report as to what the mind-set is in the white house. i don't think they think he is laughing at the president, he is a very high level official, he is cut out of the loop by the white house, and part of a long series of officials being ignored and humiliated. i think david's point is that president trump believes i alone with fictix it. remember last year when president trump was asked about the thousands of people in the program government, and he said they don't matter, i'm all that matters. this is having a foreign policy orchestrated and organized by one person, the president, and that's not thousand is supposed to work. we're a country of 300 million people. the idea is laughable. he thinks he doesn't need a staff to do it or to tell his advisors what his plans are. again that is just simply -- the reason you see people laughing nervously is there is no way to process that information. >> i think what else is important to

because it was admittedly awkward on stage is not the fault of dan coats, that's the fault of the whitese which let him go onto a stage in a live event without telling him not only what happened in the helsinki meeting he said he had not been informed about but without telling him about this policy announcement about the visit. all the awkwardness should be on the part of the white house officials that put him in that position rather than dan coats himself. >> you make a great point about the projection. he didn't play himself, he was played by his bosses who didn't do him the basic process of mentioning a giant intelligence matter that would be announced. david priess and michael steele, calling carter page the agent of a foreign power and trump says it helps him. chris hayes to break it down in 30 seconds. please don't, i'm saving those for later. at least you don't have to worry about renters insurance. just go to geico.com. geico helps with renters insurance? good to know. been doing it for years. that's really good to know. i'll check 'em out. get to know geico. and see how easy ho

dan coats being out there hanging out to dry. >> that was reporting that i did last night with sources in the white house. they were furious with dan coats, the dni. but this wasn't some sort of gaffe by dan coats. he was answering honestly. candid answers to andrea's very good question. you don't see him on the sunday shows, out all over the place parroting the talking points. he was acting in a candid fashion. that is what got the white house so upset because they were out of sync. >> a remarkable week and julia, you made the reference to what president trump in helsinki, if i ever write a book about it, i might call it pakistani gentleman. it is obscure. thank you for joining me tonight. >> there is one person who has been out in front of everyone else on that issue. tom styre. the billionaire activist. that is next. >>> coming to you from north carolina. and i want to thank the staff to accommodate us. that was not an ad, but this is. a new ad paid by billionaire activist tom steyer. this ad is updated. impeaching the president is an idea that might have seemed farfetched. but on a week like this, you

helsinki summit stunned the world, another shocking cement from the white house that took the director of national intelligence, dan, by surprise. >> we have some breaking news. the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the foul. >> say that again? >> vladimir putin -- >> did i hear you? >> yeah. >> okay. that's going to be special. >> you heard the rction there. that's nbc's andrea mitchell brking the news to nationa intelligence director dan coats. >> tracie potts is on capitol hill for us. what's the reaction been to the announcement? > reporter: so, aaron, on the imming, it's very interesting. it would give vl putin a front row seat to our fall election. officials are saying russia is still trying to tinker with the vote in a f months. the white house says they are makinglans for this visit. new this morning, from prrussia ident putin says he is ready to talk about the details of comi to america. he's been here seven times before as president, five under president bush, one with clinton, one with obama. the last in 2015. it's been a few years. al this morning,

white house aide for national security extend the invitation to putin. it was not shared, apparently, with those at the top of his administration. so witness this, our own andrea mitchell was interviewing dan coats who happens to be the director of national intelligence in aspen, colorado, this afternoon when the news broke, and it was immediately apparent it was news to him. >> we have some breaking news. the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> say that again. >> you -- vladimir putin coming to the -- >> did i hear you? >> yeah, yeah. >> okay. that's going to be special. >> the associated press reports putin told russian diplomats today the helsinki meeting was successful. he has briefed his own diplomatic core on the meeting. president trump has not done the same. in that same interview today dni coats in aspen gave andrea his assessment of the meeting in helsinki. >> moments after the president appeared to be siding with vladimir putin over you, you personally by name, you stood up and spoke out. >> i just felt at this point in time that what we had assessed and reassessed and reassessed and carefully gone over still stan
