i have been speaking to sharren haskel.ember of the israeli parliament from the prime minister's likud party, and i asked her why her country needs this bill. let's speak about what is the nationality bill. this actually describes the character of our country. it constitutes the symbol of israel, the anthem of israel and that the language and many other characters, like any other country. the foundation legislation, because we don't have a constitution, we describe the foundation laws as a future constitution for the state of israel. and that's why this bill was so israel. and that's why this bill was so important for us. why now? many people would not see israel as a country that lacks self—confidence. isn't it a confident nation already without any of this legislation which is running very, very divisive today in the reactions we've heard? israel definitely don't like any confidence but if we do want a future constitution as part of our democracy, and this is why we are aiming fora democracy, and this is why we are aiming

first you had somebody trying to mess with senator haskell. >> people should know this happens all the've been targeted. my kids remails have been targeted. >> related to russia in. >> you don't know who it is. >> are you concerned any of those instances may have been related to russian government? >> you can't be shocked. anyone who sits on any of the intelligence economies, any of the armed services econocommitti serve on both, have to assume they are a target. >> do you feel like the government is doing enough to protect you? >> i think i have a number of tools that we deploy on a regular basis to make sure that we do the best we can. we also have recognize that the russians are really serious about this. not just about hacking but the thing that worries even more is what we have learned as a committee about their ongoing efforts in warfare. to divide this country and be engaging in united states on all sorts of platforms from pokemon go to facebook. >> russia is very active. they will continue to be active. we have seen meddling in the lek elections, our control systems and routers

he's telling aides, can you imagine, remarking on how he picks gina haskell to be the cia director and believes picking a woman could do things. bring out women voters in the midterms and appeal to two key republican votes, senator murkowski and senator collins. now, those are two very crucial here. there's a razor thin margin here for the president to make this pick and we heard from susan collins yesterday on "state of the union" saying that she would not vote to confirm a nominee that she believed showed hostility toward that roe versus wade decision. we have heard from the president before on that landmark case saying he was going to be putting pro life judges on the court. that was back when he was a candidate. now saying he won't ask during the interviews with candidates what their position on that is. of course, most of them are seen as very conservative judges likely with their opinions on roe versus wade known and seeing the white house move this process along very quickly. and of course, the president and former television host is really building the anticipation ahead of tha

. >> i hope that dan coates and gina haskell stay on the job. dan coates stood up and was clear about -- >> let me read that. so, he put out a statement in response to the president's press conference today saying, quote, we have been clear in our assessments of russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing pervasive efforts to understand mine our democracy and will continue to provide unvarnished and protective intelligence in national security. it rings true to the statements clapper and comey put out after they briefed donald trump in the transition. i just want to press you and get your clear answer on whether this is something more than distracting and deflecting from his own appointees heading these agencies. i can't imagine president bush questioning you. >> i can't engage in speculation about why the president doesn't want to acknowledge this except for the fact that he appears at every turn to be insistent that somehow anything that talks about russian interference casts a shadow over his election. but i'll leave it for other

america organization still regrouping after e-mails surfaced last december, showing former ceo, sam haskelle and others to resign. this morning more than 30 winners have added their names to a letter in support of the new board. >> miss new york! >> including mallory hagan who won the title in 2013. she believes the swimsuit competition belongs in the pageant's past. >> progress means that challenges are going to have to be met. and what's happening right now is that we have a new board and new leadership and new ideas in order to move miss america into 2018, and beyond. >> reporter: but not all former miss america winners agree with the changing times. >> this isn't about objectifying women. and i think people oversensationalize the swimsuit competition and miss america over and over again. when in reality, there's nothing that a woman can't do and we can do it in a swimsuit and heels. >> in march, the board voted unanimously to retire the swimsuit competition, telling us, as with any transition, there are those who find it hard to accept change. guys. >> hmmm. >> all right, kristen. >> th

that was cia director haskell. from indiana and someone else in a tough race, if they provided votes as 50-51 as susan collins and lisa murkowski were voting no, that would setoff a mini nuclear bomb within the democratic party. but if every republican votes yes and they're just adding a little bit to the margin of victory, it won't be as big an issue. >> so in some ways they're hoping that the republicans stick together and make their lives a little bit easier. michael steel, do you think the president is going to listen to mitch mcconnell on who to pick here? >> yeah, i certainly hope so. it always comes down to gut and you always have last minute surprises, but it looks like senator mcconnell is as he usually does is making a smart call here. it's on those red state democrats that we especially mitch mcconnell and senate republicans desperately want to beat in november. >>> when we return we're going to talk about the break down in reuniting migrant children separated from their parents and a 1-year-old boy who
