jake: you, sir. yes. >> if you accept the premise that our nuclear arsenal keeps us safe from nuclear attack, you should accept that an offense if -- offenses capability would protect us from an attack. should the united states be trying to get mickey mouse elected second in the russian election to demonstrate that we have powers of our own? what should we be thinking about in terms of offensive capabilities? what are we already doing? is offense part of our defense here, the way it has been for other security issues? jake: we have been talking about deterrence theory and cyber security a lot since the 2016 election. douglas: there is not much to say here that we can say. [laughter] i would say, i think you're onto something in terms of thinking of what might be called a cold war concept. that is deterrence. if you do this to make, i will beat -- he will be sorry. i will raise the cost sufficiently so that it will not be worth your while. speaking of how that applies to the cyber arena, not only in e

>> yes, jake. there's a lot of things we've done throughout this -- this is -- you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not going in to -- these deputies received the training they needed -- >> maybe you measure somebody's leadership by whether or not they protect the community. you've listed 23 incidents before the shooting involving the shooter and still nothing was done to keep guns out of his hands, to make sure that the school was protected, to make sure you were keeping an eye on him -- i don't understand how you can sit there and claim amazing leadership? >> jake, on 16 of those cases our deputies did everything right. our deputies have done amazing things. we've taken this -- the five years i've been sheriff, we've taken the broward sheriff's office to a new level. i've worked with some of the bravest people i've ever met. one person at this point, one person didn't do what he should have done. it's horrific. the victims here -- the families, i pray for them every night. it makes

>> i think it does, jake.rt says something important, that hope hicks allegedly said that these e-mails about the russia meeting would be destroyed. that is, obstruction of justice. i think it goes to a deeper point saying it's all about leadership. it doesn't surprise us that hope hicks is acting this way. they set leadership examples for the saf and if you're around president obama, you tended to be really huge in the line as he did, no drama, and so on. this president, who, obviously, you know, has issues with the rule of law has set a different example, so it's not surprising to see things like this happen. >> do you think that the president trump should testify, and the reason i ask is because there's people around the president, and now maybe members of the legal team saying, this does not rise to the threshold because there's nothing specifically alleged that the president has done. there might be people around the president, but not him per se. >> two different takes on it. if you're advising the presi

i'm jake tapper. this is cnn special coverage of the explosive memo that sources say president trump sees as a way to discredit and undermine special counsel robert mueller and the russia probe. the memo has now been released after the president approved its release today against the wishes of his own appointees, running the justice department and the fbi. a short time ago, president trump said this about the memo, which was written and authorized for release by republicans. >> i think it's terrible, you want to know the truth. i think it's a disgrace. what's gone on with this country, i think it's a disgrace. i think it's a disgrace what's happening in this country. when you look at that and you see that and so many other things, what's going on, lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that. so i sent it over to congress and we'll see what happens. a lot of people should be ashamed. >> cnn senior adviser pamela brown joins me now. what does the memo specifically allege? >> a

either like to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's leadershipjust as scepticism about jake scepticism about jake agrees mogg's leadershipjust as —— i would like to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's —— jacob to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's ——jacob rees to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's —— jacob rees mogg's leadership prospects, he has never held a cabinet position, and some of his conservative views would not be that palatable to the wider public, i would imagine, that palatable to the wider public, iwould imagine, like that palatable to the wider public, i would imagine, like his views on abortion. yes, that is true. and on the tory side the mps have got to vote you into the final two to face a vote of the membership and he would first have to gain enough support amongst the conservative parliamentary party and it is by no means clear he could do that. would he like to be leader? yes. definitely. and now to the telegraph, this is their spin on brexit, the eu could force steady seven new laws on the uk. —— 37 foot -- 37 seven

>> jake: is not what to do with her. citizen who gets to do these things that she wants to. i think it's a little hypocritical to say that people who have been beaten and elections should retire from public life. i think people have been involved in public elections stay involved in public life including clinton, and anyone else. be three lighting a candle to just pray that hillary clinton comes back into the cycle and puts her face out there for the democrat party. >> jake: i don't think she's looking to put her face out for the democratic party. she is looking to contribute like millions of other americans and want to be a part of this. >> harris: we look at regular clinton is now, what type of role would you really like to see her play? of she starts popping up for candidates and she has the ability to attach herself to a platform, she had her own, not enough of it as we talk about your many, many times, had to do with the economy and you don't have to say it here. you can go and ask the voters that. where do you see

jake? >> thank you. my panel of law enforcement experts joins me to dig into this. josh campbell formally from the fbi. the fbi was told in september about the youtube post where the person said, i'm going to be a professional school shooter. the person whose youtube page was reported to fbi, they sat down with him, took an interview, and we heard today from the fbi, they ran the guy's name on data base and couldn't find anything. be honest. he posted that under his own name with the unusual spelling of his first name, and if there had been a real thorough investigation, there was a bounty of information saying he had problems. >> first, this is the nightmare scenario for law enforcement, an agency to realize there's information in their holdings that may have saved lives, it's the nightmare scenario. the fbi is looking through the action, trying to determine what happened, what can they do better, how did information flow? so that's the first part. second is, this shows there is a lack of

>> first of aushlll, fred, kudo jake tapper. i watched that full interview this morning and jake tested power. i understand that jake runs a large department, and to say that the inactivity or inaction of one person -- it goes back to the culture, the leadership culture. and i'm sorry, the book of proverbs, pride goeth before the fall. i listened to the sheriff deflect all those questions and not take responsibility for this. it was one deputy there that did not enter and go to the sound of the guns. fred, what we have learned post columbine, april of 1999, in the tactile resolution business of which i was a member for 25 years, you go to the sound of the guns. you don't wait any longer for a homogeneous group of folks to get there. you put together whoever you have and you go and try to interrupt the killing. that didn't happen here. >> he says as far as he knows, there was not a stand-down type of order that might have come. if there were a stand-down order and that would explain why officers didn't go in, who would that come

and to modify the bill before they hold a vote so there's quite a long road ahead of negotiations jake as he can you know a journalist based in paris france thank you. it's still lights camera action here in orlando where the international film festival is still in full swing. some feel as cox there are down at the red carpet how guys tell us about one of the movies that hit the road today. yeah we had the world premiere of the second of three german films that are screening here this one is called my brother's name is robert and he's an idiot we saw the stars of the film and the director walked the red carpet behind us just a little while ago and i mean how would you scrub the. action packed. things i'd say laid out with incest we thought no other violence and we've got making requests for three hours of philosophy not any of. that is a bit of a slope so yeah i mean the director he's he's well known he's a very really a philosophical director and his idea is he wants to have the audience experience how time can just draw on what we're going very very quickly and in this case it defini

i'm jake tapper.dent trump's white house. now the chief of staff is under fire for mishandling the domestic abuse allegations against white house staff secretary rob porter. the scrutiny reached such a fever pitch that kelly made clear he would resign if that's what president trump wants, and kellyanne conway told me the president has full faith in kelly, but the president has been asking friends about other chief of staff replacements. joining me to discuss this, and others who worked with general kelly, as someone who preceded him, jeh johnson. thanks for joining me. >> thanks for having me, jake. >> you described chief of staff kelly as a friend of yours. we respect his service to this country, and the sacrifices he and his family have made. reports are emerging that key figures were aware of the allegations about rob porter, including kelly, and did nothing about them for months until they became public. you have worked with general kelly. you said he is a man of character, and integrity. are you

that okay with you, jake?et a portfolio that works for you now and as your needs change from td ameritrade investment management. literally. >>> jared kushner getting his security clearance downgraded. now to a stunning statement from the director of the national security agent, rogers disclose that had the president has not be given him the authority to stop cyber threats and that russia has not changed its behavior after interfering in the presidential election. to underline this, it is not at all common for the head of the u.s. intelligence agency to openly acknowledge that his boss, the commander in chief, has yet to give him the authority to protect the united states from what he, rogers, clearly believes is a threat to the united states. why has the president not given him the authority to do so? white house press secretary sarah sanders was asked that question a few minutes ago. >> nobody has denied him the authority. we're looking at a number of ways that we can put pressure -- >> actually, technically

that okay with you, jake?hat works for you now and as your needs change from td ameritrade investment management. >> glor: we end tonight with math lesson, a fun one and heartwarming. dean reynolds shows you the result of multiplying a single act of kindness six times. >> reporter: until today, kimberly cooper and brendan flaherty were strangers, but now they share an unbreakable bond. what do you say to someone? >> it's hard to say thank you. thank you for giving me freedom to be able to live my life the way i want the -- to live it, not tied up for ten hours a night. >> reporter: kimberly's kidney lives in brendan's body. each one of them can be traced back the kimberly's act of generosity. >> you're like, oh, my god, really? six people were saved just because i chose to be selfless for a day. >> reporter: and this was not necessarily meant to happen, because, well, it's complicated. brendan thought he'd get his friend phillip's kidney. he ended up with kimberly's. phillip donated his kidney anyway and start

>> -- i've worked -- yes, jake. >> trevor: amazing leadership. jake did a take in his mind -- what?mazing leadership? no. denzel washington in the titans, that was amazing leadership. denzel in malcolm x, that was amazing leadership. ( applause ) denzel in "coach carter," that was samuel l. jackson. you're racist. ( laughter ) look, it's clear that the deputy didn't do his job. he was armed. he was at the school and he didn't help. now, for some people, this shows exactly why there's no point in arming teachers because if a trained officer didn't come to the rescue, how is mrs. flenderson going to do better? ( laughter ) the deputy failing to go in shows exactly why you need teachers to be strapped. >> a lot of us said you need armed teachers carrying concealed because you can't count on the prevention. >> a security guard that doesn't know the children doesn't love the children. this man standing outside the school the other day doesn't love the children, probably doesn't know the children. the teachers love their children. they love their pupils, they love their students. >> trevo

>> i've worked -- yes, jake. there's a lot of things we've done throughout -- this is -- you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not going into -- these deputies received the training they needed -- >> maybe you measure somebody's leadership by whether or not they protect the community. in this case, you've listed 23 incidents, before the shooting involving the shooter, and still nothing was done to keep guns out of his hands, to make sure that there were -- that the school was protected, to make sure you were keeping an eye on him. your deputy at the school failed. i don't understand how you can sit there and claim amazing leadership. >> jake, on 16 of those cases, our deputies did everything right. our deputies have done amazing things. we've taken this -- in the five years i've been sheriff, we've taken the broward sheriff's office to a new level. i work with some of the bravest people i've ever met. one person, at this point, one person didn't do what he should have done. it's horrific, the victim

>> yes, jake. there's a lot of things we have done throughout.on't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not going into these deputies receiving training they need ped p. >> maybe you mentioned someone's leadership by whether or not they protect the community. you have listed 23 incidents before the shooting involving the shooter and still nothing was done to keep guns out of his hands, to make sure that the school was protected to make sure you are keeping an eye on him. your deputy at the school failed. i don't understand how you can sit there and claim amazing leadership. >> jake, on 16 of those cases, our deputies did everything right. our deputies have done amazing things. we have taken this in the five years i've been sheriff, we have taken the broward sheriff's office to a new level. i work with some of the bravest people i've ever met. one person at this point, one person didn't do what he should have done. it is horrific. victims here, families, i pray for them every night. it makes me sick to my stomach that we have a deputy that di

let's take look back at how did he wouldn't it, of course n jake elliot 61-yard field goal. was a spring board for the rest of the eagles season and back then even jake elliot knew what it meant for this team. >> yeah, i mean, um, you hear some of the guys around the locker room talking just how it could have been a momentum changer and that's kind of when we realized this could be a special point. >> doug pederson knows what big win that was for the eagles and says it showed this team what their character. >> we probably don't win those games a year ago, last year we were seven and nine and our team, our team finds ways to win those games, and we made a big throw and catch at the end of that in regulation to set that field goal up, and, um, it just kind of -- that just sort of ignited, you know, finish. talk about finish as coaches we always talk about finish. >> and for more on how much that ignited this eagles team our tom srendenschek has more. >> kristen to me that game defined this eagles season and really was the launch to get them here to super bowl lii. if the eagle

d jake bennett is a senior at h.b.dlawn in arlington, virginia.k and thu to both of you for coming out here to the studio to talk to us. jake, i'm going to start with you. you walked five miles from your school to the white house. why did you want to be a pa of this today? >> because we live so close to d.c., we felt it wouldn't be the same if we just walked outside, ife just walked to courthouse, which is where our public school headquarters are. we felt driven to march to the white housand to really show we would go this far to voice uour discontent and or anger with congress. >> woodruff: and and, camile, wy is this so important to you? >> i am sick of going to school every day and beingre scafor my life and my friends' lives. we live in a relatively safe part of virginia in mcln and it's silly we live in a first-world country and, still, first graders, second graders, young kids all through high schoolers are afrd of going to school, and they're afraid of what's going to happen to them. it not right and it really n

let me start with you, jake sherman.ne of the proposals president trump put forward from the nra disagrees with is aging the purchase age limit to 21 for rifles. how is the perception of that changing? is there going to be conversation, persuasion and agreement on that? >> no. i don't believe there will be. this proposal is already flat on capitol hill, according to the people i talked to. and you saw immediate resistance from conservatives. thomasy, a libertarian republican from kentucky say, well, why shouldn't a 19-year-old mother who is home alone be able to protect herself? why are we only saying a 21-year-old mother could protect themselves? people disagree and say semiautomatic weapons, you should have 21 just like you have to be to drink alcohol, consume alcohol, all of those things. i just don't think that any proposal to alter the age for buying these weapons is going to fly on capitol hill where republicans have, for many years, sought to loosen restrictions on firearms and have passed many bills touting their

here's what third grader jake bever did. >> i saw, like, a bunch of flames and smoke.rter: and with that, a life was saved. because the world war ii vet who lived there, max wilson, was asleep inside and it was jake and his mom who woke him up. >> jake and his mother were hollering, get out, get out. >> reporter: max did get out, losing the house and everything in it. which was rough, coming on top of losing his wife a couple of months ago. but something happened at the mark twain elementary in the aftermath with all the kids. >> the kids wanted to do something showing their kindness. >> reporter: they started drawing him pictures, making him cards for his 95th birthday. >> dear max, we are doing everything we can to help you. sincerely, abel. >> reporter: and then they started going to their piggy banks. >> bringing in their allowance, searching through the sofa cushions for change, looking in the car. >> reporter: and so successful were they that the other day, when max came by school to help give young jake a police department award for sounding the alarm, max himse

sheriff israel was on cnn earlier today telling my colleague, jake tapper, that none of that is his fault. >> you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy -- those deputies received the training they needed. of course i will not resign. it was a shameful letter, politically motivated. i never met that man. he doesn't know anything about me, and the letter was full of misinformation. i wrote a letter back to the governor. i talked about all the mistakes that was made in the letter. it was a shameful politically motivated letter that had no facts, and, of course, i won't resign. >> now, this is why the sheriff says that it is about politics today, an elected official, a democrat, letter calls for removal from the state's republican lawmakers to the governor who is also a republican. let's go live now to parkland. martin, i suppose the most important measure, factor here is, what do the families in the area of parkland think about the sheriff? do they think he should be held responsible? >> reporter: they do, indeed, very much believe he should be held responsible, nothing to do with

joining me is chief washington correspondent jake tapper. jake, i mean, so far listening to all these students, having spoken with these lawmakers in tallahassee, you know, while you of course admire them for getting on those buses and going, i'm hearing a lot of disappointments, that these lawmakers are dodging their questions. >> they have an opportunity to ask questions directly this evening. we'll be hosting the students of the high school this evening. here along with faculty and parents of some of the children who were killed one week ago today and they'll have an opportunity to directly ask questions of lawmakers, congressmen ted deutsche as well as two the senators from florida, bill nelson and marco rubio. they'll have an opportunity to talk about what's on their minds, whether it's expanding background checks, gun restrictions, school security, whatever they have on their mind they'll be able to put directly to the lawmakers that will be here tonight. >> before you host this town hall, we know in about an hour, the president will b

jake sherman mentioned it earlier. this redistricting plan, which i think will get struck down as unconstitutional because the judges didn't have authority to do t makes conservative districts more conservative, democratic or liberal districts more democratic and liberal, and increases polarization in the state. >> some say it represents the number of democrats who live in pennsylvania. >> actually 538.com says pennsylvania is the single most democratic clustered state in the country. that's because one-third of all democrats reside in either philadelphia or allegheny county. if we're talking about compactness, unless you want to spread out and not focus on compactness, which is what the court said they wanted to do, necessarily there's going to be some districts that are very, very democratic in the city. but be that as it may, i mean, here's what should happen. the legislature should pass redistricting reform package. that's how it should get done. >> so, if the court allows this to stand, will you run for reelection

a narrow he is a journalist based in the french capital of paris good to see you jake why is this new migration bill so controversial. that's right lou well human rights groups are calling the new measures repressive and even some lawmakers from macro's own party are critical of the build this bill risks tarnishing france's in the edge as a bastion of human rights as you mentioned it doubles detention times ninety days shortens deadlines for asylum applications so making a little bit more difficult to get that information in on time to qualify for asylum it imposes jail time and fines for illegal border crossings however it does make it easier for minors to get asylum that what prompted the legislature legislators to introduce this new bill well as you mentioned france saw a record number of asylum requests last year up seventeen percent from the year before the government says the asylum system is overwhelmed and that many of the asylum requests are not qualified for asylum status that many of those migrants are rather economic migrants who should be deported back to their countries

>> i spoke to the president, and he said please tell jake that i have full faith in chief of staff john kelly and i'm not looking for replacements and he does. we serve in the privilege of the president. we all serve the country that we love and anyone that doesn't feel they wauld should not be there. hi says he is doing a great job and he has full nate in him, and he looks at the full measure of all of us. >>. >> the president is very disturbed by what he sees. you can feel that somebody did a great job for you. you can talk about someone's competition and work product, and that's what president did on friday in his statement. you can still feel horrified when you see pictures and contemporary news reports. his between was more generic yesterday. he is saying some are old, some are new. some a it is different from what we see in the porter situation, and that is different from the entire me too movement. and i see these democrats out there criticizing and preening. the president is responsible for 800,000 women getting new work. getting bonuses, raises, and making capital investments.

jake? >> well, let's remember, adam schiff tried to release a democratic coupler part -- trish: what about the original document. >> i want that too. trish: are you okay with that, jake? >> i mean i'm not in charge of releasing any of this information. this is classified information. trish: but on principle, on principle don't you think the american public deserves it now? >> i think part of the problem here is that you have a lot of information that is classified based on national security recommendations and those recommendations come not from democrats. they come from donald trump's own national security leadership. >> trish, let me make something very clear. trish: that is what dinger hang on, ned. you don't want the people to know. >> not at all what i'm saying. you have got donald trump owes own political ap.east saying this is bad idea, that this memo is misleading, giving more information is problematic and detrimental to national security? trish: how is this detrimental to national

. >> i'm jake tapper. you've been watching a news conference from the broward county sheriff's office including other officials from the state of florida. we learned that all families who lost loved ones in yesterday's horrific shooting have been notified. the shooter's first court appearance is scheduled to be later today at 2:00 p.m. eastern. at any moment, we're expecting president trump to address the nation. he'll be speaking publicly for the first time on yesterday's massacre at a florida high school. cnn's jeff zeleny standing by at the white house. jeff what are we expecting the president to say. >> we are going to hear from the president. the fourth such time he's delivered a speech after a major shooting in america. i am told by a white house official that the president is going to call for a plan that works, not just makes us feel better. but i'm told he's likely going to leave it there, not give specifics on gun policy. that is no surprise. in the wake of the shootings last fall, in las vegas,

>> yes, jake. a lot of things we have done. you don't measure the person's leadership by a deputy not going into -- these deputies received training they needed. >> sheriff israel under scrutiny for missed chances to intervene before the 19-year-old gunman opened fire. the sheriff's office says it received 23 calls related to nikolas cruz or his brother over the last ten years. two of the calls under especially close review. suggesting cruz may be planning to shoot up a school. >>> the house and senate return today with the gun violence looming. one from rhode island set to release assault weapons ban. how far it will go in the republican controlled house is an open question. >>> on sunday, ivanka trump was asked about her father's suggestion of arming teachers. she defended the proposal as one possible part of a larger solution. >> you are a mom of three young children. do you believe arming teachers would make children safer? >> to be honest, i don't know. having a teacher who is armed and who cares deeply about her students

jakes. do you see the parallels in terms of egypt when you have a children of israel enslaved you have a situation where they were in such bondage and anguish that they could not hear even though god sent moses to tell them things are going to get that her because of their pain and suffering they couldn't hear from the creator when he was about to do something. do you see that or feel it lacks something has to break and something has to give? >> are you comparing that to today's society? >> bishop j. called on. i will let you come back. >> good evening and thank you all for being here tonight and all of your contributions. two questions. to april ryan and t.d. jakes. april ryan i am so fed up with sarah huckabee sanders and the way she answers your walls questions. is there any way that you can ask her and i'm respectfully asking this question. can you respectfully give me an answer not be insulting to me? >> i was just, oh, oh. [laughter] i wasn't feeling guilty. i just didn't want anyone t

doug: thanks to jake, but also to the council. i'm not in the president's circle but i will find out how sounds like a good thing. my main point is quite simple and that is that we are missing the main message of russian interference in our 2016 election campaign. i think, as someone who has life in thelt national security arena, what happened in 2016 in our election process is as serious a national security threat, as serious a threat as any i have seen in my 40 years in either active duty in the military or in the white house or in the diplomatic service. i say that because physical attacks on america -- depending on your age in the room, 9/11, pearl harbor -- you suffer tragic damage but it is physical damage, loss of life, property. we are strong enough to recover from that. it is still tragic but we can recover from physical attack. the attack i am worried about is the one in 2016 which could erode the confidence in our election system. the connection between the voting public, the individual voter, and the democratic process

did jake tapper just call stephen miller an "obsequious factotum?"s like somebody got a word- a-day calendar for the holidays! ( laughter and applause ) "you, sir-- >> jon: ( laughs ) >> stephen: "you sir, are a sycophantic dogsbody, a lugubrious mountebank, a spurious, perfidious ne'er-do- well!" ( laughter ) finally, tapper had to cut him off. >> you know who i care about? >> i think i've wasted enough of my viewers' time. thank you, stephen. as republican lawmakers call for attorney general jeff sessions to resign, in a major reversal. >> stephen: "let's turn now to breaking news: douchebag stops talking, news anchor questions career choices. wolff?" ( laughter ) but it turns out-- and this is true-- miller was not done. because it's being reported that miller was asked to leave the set multiple times but refused, after which he was escorted out by security. or as they call it in washington, "the omarosa goodbye." ( laughter ) we'll be right back with liam neeson. release the neeson! ( cheers and applause ) ( band playing ) discover card. customer

jake tapper now. >> thank you. >>> president trump suggests paying teachers an extra bonus to pack heat, "the lead" starts now. after hearing from survivors, president trump today said he's open to new restrictions on gun ownership, but are the nra and congress hoping this all just goes away? plus, he put guns to people's heads before. cnn uncovering new threats that the confessed gunman made months before the massacre. why didn't the police move on him then? and back to brass? after months of butting heads and one undercutting tweet, could national security adviser general hr mcmaster be on the way back to the pentagon? >> good afternoon, welcome to the "the lead," i'm jack tapper. we start with an ambiguous promise from president trump on taking action on guns, but what action remains unclear and how much the president is willing to fight for a particular decision. he hopes the congress will do something, back to the measure that the nra opposes, raising the age to purchase se semiautomatic weapons, from 18 to 21 and supports training and arming some teachers, even giving them bonuses

i'm jake attemtapper. i did tell to you route for the eagles. i'll just remind you of all that. i'll turn it over to "the situation room." >>> happening now, shut it down. as democrats and republicans are trying to close in on a budget agreement with 48 hours until a shutdown, president trump dares congress to shut down the government saying that would be better than not getting the border deal he wants. >>> too lazy. the president describes they will as being too lazy and says the president won't extend his looming deadline to end the program. >>> not talking. the house intelligence committee delays its speenl a to former white house adviser steve bannon saying the white house isser planning to limit questioning. nim president's lawyers reportedly don't want him to

>> i've worked -- yes he, jake. you don't measure a person's leadership by a deputy not going in to -- these deputies received the training they needed -- >> maybe you measure somebody about whether or not they protect the community? >> reporter: a lot of frustration now being aimed at sheriff scott israel. more than 70 republican lawmakers in this state have sent a letter to governor rick scott demanding the sheriff suspension for incompetence and dereliction of duty but the students and the teachers of stoneman douglas who i talked to they have a very different perspective here. they're calling their movement the never again movement. they say firing sheriff israel doesn't mean this won't ever happen again. they're not calling for anybody's job. they're focus remains on the change they want to see, a change in gun laws, that to them is the root of this problem. >> kaylee hartung in parkland, florida right now. >>> let's get over to the white house. katelyn is there. >> reporter: the president is certainly under a

. >> jake sullivan under president obama and chief foreign policy to the clinton campaign in 2016, jake, maybe i'll start with that. what do you make of the claim this president has been tougher on russia than president obama? >> that would be very difficult to do under any circumstances because as you laid out at the top of the program, this president has taken not a single decisive step to either impose real costs on russia for what they did in 2016 or to try to prevent it from happening again. despite the fact that his cia director, his director of national intelligence, both said there's a very strong likelihood that russia will try to interfere again in 2018. donald trump has done literally zero to mobilize the u.s. government to do something about that. when you compare that to what barack obama did in particular mobilizing broad based sectoral sanctions against the russians and getting the europeans on boorth for that which was know small feat, it's not in the same ballpark. it's not in the same sport. it's not the same activity of any kind. and i think when sarah huckabee sander

i'm jake tapper in washington in for don lemon. don is spending time with his family tonight as they mourn the loss of don's eldest sister. all of our thoughts and prayers are with don and his family. we're thinking about you. i'm here with a special edition of "the lead." on a day of huge developments in the russia investigation. that heavily hyped memo from the republicans on the house intelligence committee finally dropped. the big question tonight is, will another shoe drop? the president today declassifying the explosive memo, spearheaded by devin nunes, formerly of the trump transition team. it's the most explicit official republican effort yet to try to undermine the fbi and mueller russia investigation. it was released despite warnings from the president's own hand-picked fbi director and justice department officials. the president touting it as evidence of anti-trump bias at the fbi. >> i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country. when you look at that and you see that and so many other things, what's going on,

. >> i want to bring in democratic strategist jake mcavy and sherm michael.f we hear from the congressman on what might happen in the senate that might include daca, would anything survive the house, you think? >> that's the hard part. we know that caucus members know they will not vote in favor of another continuing resolution cr. so i think what the house leadership signals is they are willing to put democrat priorities on the next cr to get democrat votes to make up for the freedom caucus votes that they will lose. if they are able do that, then i'm confident we can see something pass to give members of congress more time to figure out something so that we can ultimately pass something long standing. >> do you face that optimism? >> we made a deal with donald trump back in september that he then walked out on. made a bipartisan deal in december that he walked out on. it is hard to figure out where he is coming from. but the reality is, and congressman is right, if you put a clean daca bill on the floor, it would sail and sail right through. 70% of american

host: jake sullivan joins us now. he previously served in the obama administration and he recently released "the world after trump." first, explain what we mean when we are talking about the international order. what does that include? guest: it is not world government, a group of people calling the shots for the united states or anyone else. it is a group of sovereign states, the world and fall, led by the united states, who built the world after the end of the aroundworld war alliances, the united nations system, a system to deal with international and comics and finance, and the basic purpose of this set of institutions and partnerships is to manage disputes so we do not get into wars, to mobilize cooperation to do with challenges like climate change and nuclear floor affiliation, and set standards around aviation or maritime security so that we are all working off of the same page in a world where there is so much interconnection in the country. it is changing. in the years after the second world war, the locusts

>>> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is ready for some football, as americans wait for the eagles and the patriots to face off in the super bowl, president trump is facing off with his own national security community leaders. the president spent saturday golfing and complaining on twitter that nobody's talking about his great jobs numbers, only russia, russia, russia. he also used twitter to declare himself cleared in the ongoing russia investigation after the release of a republican four-page memo alleging the fbi abused its surveillance tools before and after the 2016 election. he wrote, this memo totally vindicates trump. there was no obstruction because collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace, unquote. in response to the president's tweets, a former senior national security official told me, quote, as a public servant i was taught to never take official action for personal gain. that is exactly what our president has done. he personally ordered the declassification of the memo for political purposes. the proof is his claim that he has now

jake, and i am not in the president circle but i am going to find out. it sounds like a good thing, to be in the president's circle. [laughter] today is simple, we are missing the main message of russian interference of our 2016 election campaign. i think him as someone who spent 40 years of my adult life in the national security region, what happened in 2016 in our election process is as serious a national -- as serious a threat as any i've have seen in my 40 years, and active duty in the military or the white house for diplomatic service. they say that because physical attacks on america, and that is to think back -- 9/11 or pearl harbor, you suffered tragic damage, but it is physical damage, loss of life and loss of property. we are strong enough to recover from that, it is still tragic but we can recover from physical attacks. is attack i am worried about the one in 2016 which could erode the confidence in our election system. this is the connection between the voting public, the individual voter, and the democratic process that has that voter contri
