admiral kirby, i'm going to start with you. nicholas burns, a former state department official under president bush testified before the senate intelligence committee today on the threat of russian influence in our election. listen to this. >> i find it dismaying and objectionable that president trump continues to deny the undeniable fact that russia launched a major cyber attack against the united states. it is his duty -- president trump's -- to be skeptical of russia. it's his duty to investigate and defend our country against a cyber offensive because russia is our most dangerous adversary in the world today. and if he continues to refuse to act, it's a dereliction of the basic duty to defend the country. >> admiral kirby, those are strong words. do you agree? >> i do. there's nobody in my mind more respectable or reputable on this issue than ambassador burns, and i completely agree with his view. it is stunning to me that this president has not, since the election, acknowledged overtly that russia had a role here, that the

back now with admiral john kirby. we heard an ominous warning about north korea today.rity advisor and then we'll talk. >> the threat is much more immediate now and so it's clear that we can't repeat the same approach, failed approach of the past. the president has directed us to not do that. and to prepare a range of options, including a military option which nobody wants to take. >> why is the threat more immediate? >> because every time kim jong-un and his regime test, whether it's a nuclear test or a missile launch, they learn. they advance their technology, advance their programs and we were saying this before the trump administration in the winning months. they continued to get better at these technologies and programs. and so i agree in this case that the threat is more immediate now and as i said with russia, i got to give some credit to the national security apparatus that trump has assembled because they have taken this threat seriously. they were looking at north korea as the most precarious threat. so i think this is something they've given quite a lot of th

that could be possible as well. >> admiral kirby, this kind of thing is extremely rare.with the investigation and whether or not they would be looking at the ship's commander ultimately as an accountable person for this crash? >> what we know has happened now is the 7th sple th fleet comman appointed an official fact finding investigation. he has assigned that, or will assign that very soon to another flag officer, another admiral to run, somebody junior to him. that admiral will put together a team and start to work, if they haven't already. they will look at everything, every bit of recorded data from the "fitzgerald," they'll talk to ever possible relevant piece of evidence and equipment, the surface search radar system to make sure everything was operating properly. they'll build a fraen sick analysis of this on a very specific timeline. they'll go almost minute to minute to determine what the "fitzgerald" was doing and when. it will be very thorough and very definitive and will lay it out clearly at least from the navy perspective what they think happened here. >> w

admiral kirby, you were the spokes person for the state department.es it mean for the future? >> i associate myself with fareed's comments in terms of how bad it is for leadership around the world. but look, we're still the greatest nation on earth. we still have the most powerful military, the most vibrant economy. that is not going to change based on today. but what we have seen today is another example of a continuing erosion in international trust and confidence in american leadership. wef saw we saw it coming out of the president's trip. i think this is just another drop in that bucket and over time, it could have longer term, more strategic effect on the ability to have influence, not just military, but real political influence around the world. i'm not worried about it. i don't think that today's the end of it but it is something to watch. >> i want you to weigh in. and former vice president joe biden said we are already feeling impacts of climate. and kpigt is the ability to own the fump. do you agree that it puts the u.s. -- it's a security r

admiral kirby, thank you as well. stand by because we're also now learning the president is admitting that this whole tapes charade was actually to influence james comey and his testimony. was that legal? let's talk about that. >>> also, he also said he is bothered by special counsel robert mueller's relationship with james comey. why the president says we'll have to see if mueller should step down. >>> and johnny depp just becoming the latest celebrity to cross the line. what he said about president trump that has the secret service now taking note. i'm brooke baldwin and this is cnn. at whole foods market, we believe in food that's naturally beautiful, fresh and nutritious. so there are no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives in any of the food we sell. we believe in real food. whole foods market. i did active duty 11 years.my in july of '98. and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where

we want to discuss with our cnn military analyst john kirby and medical correspondent dr.y gupta. sanjay, you heard what paula said. he contracted botulism and took a sleeping pill and slipped into a coma. >> it doesn't make sense. botulism is a bacterial infection that you connect with botox. it causes paralysis of the muscles. that is what happens if you get the bacterial infection. people get muscle weakness in the face. it can get pretty bad and affect the muscles of diaphragm so you no longer breathe on your own. someone could have a stroke. >> could you slip into a coma? >> lack of blood flow to the brain, that could cause a coma-like condition. a brain stroke which would look like a comb a. sleeping pill would not cause a comb coma. it doesn't make sense. nevertheless, with botulism, if you are on a breathing machine. we are talking over a year. it would not last that long.iag timing and treatment, it is hard to piece it all together. >> it was hard to see that video of him coming off the plane on the stretcher. it is hard to know exactly what condition he is curren

and then we we nt kirby, on the beach.and then ending up in harrow. two places where game to game for labour tomorrow. —— we are going to gain. and what is incredible about the campaign, is the enthusiasm of people coming together. it is all the essentials of election campaigning, knocking on doors, asking people to vote. you are going to do asking people to vote. you are going todoa asking people to vote. you are going to do a big amount of that tomorrow? is that a deal? it is also about the debate and the discussions. seven weeks ago when this election was announced, the expertise they are amongst all of our broadsheet journalists, all of our commentators, it is there, they fully understand all these things when they announced this was possible, that was possible all that, this, that. no. it was alla bit of a foregone conclusion. it was all a foregone conclusion for the party that dare not speak its name. well, something changed. we produced a serious manifesto. for the many, not the few. seriously thought out proposals,

admiral kirby, good to see you.the attention is on rescuing or recovering the seven missing u.s. sailors. why does it seem to be so problematic to locate them? >> well, for one thing, i think they don't have a good sense of where everybody is. it is possible that some of them could have been knocked overboard and still at sea and i know that search effort is still going on at sea. it is most likely that many, if not all of them, are still inside the skin of the ship somewhere and some of those spaces that were collapsed and damaged when the collision occurred. now there was significant flooding underneath the water line and it's possible that some of those sailors are in those heavily flooded spaces. so i know that they have divers in the water right now that are searching and i think we're going to have to let them do their jobs and see what happens. >> when you look at the imagery of the damage on that ship and seeing, you know, exactly where that merchant ship appeared to have, you know, penetrated the destroyer,

navy rear admiral john d kirby is joining us now.e yesterday about this situation. we discussed this possible scenarios and outcome. we learned that this collision happened while most of the crew on board was asleep. what are your thoughts about this tragedy today? >> well, it is just absolutely heart rending. i want to start by offering my thoughts and prayers to everybody aboard "fitzgerald." all the crew and their families, of course in particular the families of these seven sailors that were lost. it is just heartbreaking outcome to a horrible tragedy. it doesn't surprise me some of the casualties were found at berthing compartments at 2:30 in the middle of the night, you would expect most of the crew to be asleep. obviously some crew are up standing driving the ship and navigating it, but most of the crew would be asleep at that time of day. >> the fleet commander today said this collision had the potential to sink the "fitzgerald," but the crew scrambled and were able to keep her at sea. what happens onboard a emergency situati

. >> joining me now is retired colonel rick francona, and retired rear admiral john kirby.he also served as a pentagon press secretary. colonel, the president talks about never telegraphing his next military move. certainly, he didn't do that with this statement. what do you make of the reasons behind this statement? >> i think he's trying to deter an attack. deterrence is always better than having to resort to military action. so if you can make a statement and put the other people on notice and say if you do this, there will be consequences, you may not have to do the consequences. deterrence, if it works, is great. i think that's different than if you're already engaged in military action, telegraphing your intentions. >> admiral kirby, the last attack was supposed to deter another attack. if there is another attack being planned, does that mean the first attack was ineffective? >> well, look, if in fact that's what assad was doing, one could make the case he wasn't deterred enough. but rick is right, this is to prevent that from happening. so far, it looks like it's had

lot to discuss with john kirby, fareed zakaria, and jeffrey lord., if the president does decide to back out of this accord, what does it mean moving forward for the u.s.? the u.s. was an early force behind this accord and i think the second only to china in terms of emitting greenhouse gases? >> it seems to me it operates at two levels. one is, what does it mean for the environment, for u.s. energy policy? and there, i think the tragedy is that the united states really over the last ten years, partly because of government policy, partly private sector, has become a dominant player in the green energy space in alternative energy. this is a point elon musk keeps making. there are now so many more solar jobs in america than coal industry jobs. there are, you know, the number of winds jobs is rising dramatically, much more dramatically than the losses in industries like coal. so we would lose a lot of that energy and initiative that is really making the united states dominate these clean, increasingly cheap sources of energy for the future. the second p

joining me now are john kirby, a former state department states person and pentagon press secretary.he was in the obama administration when otto warmbier was captured. also with us, david gergen. admiral, the president at least laid implicit blame at president obama's feet. you were part of the obama administration. what do you say to that? >> i take great issue with that. i mean, look, there was nothing more important to president obama or frankly secretary kerry while i was at the state department than the safety and security of americans overseas. and though we weren't successful in getting otto back, and i do believe the trump administration should get credit for accomplishing that. it was not for a lack of trying or lack of effort. secretary kerry personally was involved in seeking otto's release. i can't tell you the number of times he brought it up directly with his chinese counterpart and others in the international community. we're all sorry it didn't happen and sorry to see the results. and there's great regret over that. but again, it wasn't for lack of earnest effort. >>

sara murray at the white house, military and analyst, john kirby, mark preston, cnn chief political analyst gloria borger and michael zeldin, a former special prosecutor who used to serve as assistant to robert mueller. mark, i'll start with you. bring us up to speed. what's the latest on what james comey might say. we know senator burr talked about his conversations with the fired fbi director. what should we expect? >> well, we're not quite sure to the point that we don't know how far he will go in his conversations that he had with president trump. but as you noted, senator burr said that he's going to be unencumbered by what he does speak about, meaning he's not going to come to the senate and the united states is going to put parameters about what he can speak about. we should note that he's been in discussions with robert mueller, the special counsel right now looking into the russia investigation on behalf of the trump administration. so you have to think that those two men have discussed and have choreographed what exactly he will say. >> sara, you have new reporting on the white ho

. >> standby with me, alexander, i want to ask that question to our admiral kirby. you served on ships at sea and we know this happens as she points out of a busy shipping zone. how could it happen that these two could hit each other. that's what the investigation have to try to find. i can ensure you that the navy investigation is under way. they'll work through that and they'll create a detailed time line minute by minute from the moment the two ships first came through contact or radar of some distance of the moment they collided. what they'll look at in addition to the sensor that you talked about and radar is one of those. it is not perfect though. they'll look at the human element and human decision making and the decisions that the human beings are being vo involved in this process made. i can assure you that the investigation is thorough. and i can assure you that for measures of accountable the navy will take it. they'll make those public and if and when and i suspect it will be when, they'll take this disciplinary action against individuals who are respons

john kirby, cnn and diplomatic analyst, served as press secretary to the pentagon. admiral, thank you for being with us. barbara starr was telling me this is technically not an escalation in the conflict. but this is the first time that the u.s. has shot down a military plane in a war zone since kosovo in 1989. this in and of itself, forget about how the russians are responding, is a significant event. >> now caused the downing of another tactical aircraft from another nation state. you can't deny that. the act itself was an act of self-defense. we were very public many, many months ago that we were going to protect those forces if they came under attack. we did what we said we were going to do. the pentagon hopes this is a deterrent effect. having to shoot this down, which they didn't want to do, that they can deter the syrian regime and russians from doing something like that in the future. >> now russia is saying any u.s. aircraft or allied craft west of the euphrates will be a target. even as political talk those are pretty alarming words. >> the russians wanted

we discuss with diplomatic analyst retired rear admiral john kirby.inly the united states actively involved in the new hot spots around the world, admiral, but is this a new strategy? >> i don't know that it's a new strategy. it's certainly some more aggressive tactics and procedures being applied here but i think you need to keep this in perspective. some of this is a continuation of the previous administration's counterterrorism efforts, we see that in syria and iraq, the previous administration put together the 68-member coalition to go after isis, same as in the pill fee philippines, it's not a new thing. some of this is an acceleration. you've seen that in yemen, we've seen that in libya with the president delegating more authorities to the pentagon, able to do things more faster, agree aggressi aggressively. in afghanistan, the ct, counterterrorism press are goen going after isis and some of this is without question an expansion, we see the strike in somalia that is something new. it's a combination of things but clearly they are more aggressive

listen to what admiral kirby had to say. >> the revelation of otto's physical condition and the urgencydemanded had a lot to do with it. >> do you think it was just that, the deterioration of his physical condition? >> i think that had a large role to play. once the north koreans realized how quickly he was heading downhills or was on the last days, they did not want him to die in north korea. >> that actually was -- maybe it's a stupid question. why would north korea release him. hold that question for a second. joining me, let's watch president trump meeting with the ukrainian president. let's listen. >> great honor to be with president poroshenko of ukraine. you have been seeing it and everybody has been reading about it. we've had some very, very good discussions. it's going to continue throughout the day and i think a lot of progress has been made and it's a great honor to have you, mr. president. thank you. thank you very much. would you like to say something? >> that's a great honor and pleasure to be together with you. supporter and strategic partner. we really fight for freedom

because as admiral john kirby has said on this program, they were working this tirelessly. kerry would mention this every time he was speaking with his chinese counterparts. they were aware of this issue when they were trying to solve it. but the problem with a state like north korea is they don't always respond to rationale incentives, they don't act like a rational actor, so it's not clear how you handle a situation like this. >> the past five months he couldn't get him out, either, eventually he did. let me read the tweet he put out today. while i greatly appreciate the efforts of president xi and china to help with north korea, it hasn't worked out. at least i believe china tried. do you believe china tried? >> i suspect they spoke to the north koreans, but we're five months into the administration. you cannot throw them out the window five months in. we have potentially four years of a trump administration. not only including nuclear bombs but ballistic missiles. if i were the president, i would hold back from saying that china didn't perform here. the chinese, be care

i'm joined by cnn military and diplomatic analyst john kirby. retired u.s. navy. spokesman for the pentagon and the state department. what's your take on this development. >> kudos to the administration for working so hard. everything we're learning is that this was worked very hard at very top levels inside the administration. so i think credit is due them for working this. this is difficult to do. don't forget we still have three can you actually love wearing powerful sunscreen? yes! neutrogena® ultra sheer. no other sunscreen works better or feels so good. clinically proven helioplex® provides unbeatable uva/uvb protection to help prevent early skin aging and skin cancer all with a clean light feel. for unbeatable protection. it's the one. the best for your skin. ultra sheer®. neutrogena®. see what's possible. i'm about to pop a cap of "mmm fresh" in that washer with unstopables in-wash scent boosters by downy. because this scent lasts up to 12 weeks, which is longer than any relationship i've ever been in. freshness for weeks! heri think i might burst..... tot

. >>> joining me now retired rear admiral john kirby who served on surface vessels over the course of for being with us. we're getting word right now that seven sailors are unaccounted for at this point. this is some time now after this incident. what kind of operations do you imagine are under way right now to try to find them? >> as i understand, the number seven is the japanese reporting injuries. i don't think that i have heard them in terms of unaccounted for. the navy is trying to do an accountability of every member of the crew. as i understand it, before coming on with you, that's not -- that work is not done. look, i mean, first of all, you have injuries. that can be expected with a collision of this magnitude. you can see how significant the damage is. it wouldn't surprise me that in the early hours that they would still be trying to make sure they have accountability of everybody. i hope that everybody ends up turning up safe and sound. those who are unaccounted for. you have to make sure that you have done a complete muster so that you know where everybody is. >> what is o

. >> former state department spokesman john kirby and phil mud, welcome.nt to talk about the koerp here. the corps is this is a country that the united states has when you look at treasury, you look at the words from danny kblazer has known has had issues with terror funding as we've reported, has had issues with terror funding. is there going to be a change in policy under this president? >> well, i don't know. it's clear. we've had long starng concerns about qatar's involvement in at least assisting incorrectly, the financing of terrorist groups. they're not the only one in the region. they're an important ally. they're an important partner. i don't think it would serve anybody's purpose to change the brip we have with qatar. yes, they need to do more. i don't know that anybody else interest would be served by changing the partnership. >> phil mudd, you have people the united states has designated terrorists that are on u.s. lists banned from coming into the united states who are able to walk around in qatar. they are not convicted. they are not in jail.

. >> let's bring in john kirby for more on this. john, do you share the kern ker skepticism? >> i do. i think it's all been covered so well there is not much more i can add. i share skepticism over the fact that there was even a strike to begin with. i don't think we've confirmed that. this zone is not where they tell us what they're hitting and when. it is simply they're in this area. there is no evidence right now there was even a strike. it is important to remember the russians do not have the same precision capabilities we do. even if there was a strike, that it was this precise, i find that very dubious. >> one of the things that president trump ran on was his strategy or ability to fight isis and that it was going to be quick. do you have a sense of what his administration is doing right now to fight isis? >> i think we're getting more and more information, but i don't think we have enough. i don't think it's been thoroughly vetted by them and certainly not well articulated to the american people. we talked about this the other day. largely, when the president speaks ab

our chief political analyst glor borger, retired admiral john kirby, cnn global affairs correspondentabott. gloria caused quite a stir today, i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. he is confirming that he is now under investigation. >> or that he's read that he's under investigation. it seems to me that he thinks he's under investigation one way or another. whether he's been told directly or not we don't know. what we also know now is that he blames the deputy attorney general for this, which has got a lot of people thinking instead of firing mueller, is he going to fire rod rosenstein? and come fact dianne feinstein today said quite directly i'm growing increasingly concerned the president's going to attempt to fire not only mueller, but rod rosenstein. he blames them very much for -- he blames rosenstein for the appointment of the special counsel mueller. he was also angry at jeff sessions about that if you'll recall. he didn't believe he should have recused himself from this investigation because he believed

cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr and cnn military and diplomatic analyst rear admiral john kirby what's the sense from the pentagon? any sense for how this happened? >> a lot of bewilderment. this doesn't happen. the navy doesn't have these kinds of catastrophic collisions at sea. what we're learning is how catastrophic it really was. think of what this crew was facing. it was dark. they had been in a collision. water is pouring into the ship, both beneath the waterline. they have damage above ground. the container ship and the navy ship hit exactly where the berthing compartment was and where communications were. the ship lost communications on board, dark, trying to struggle to survive, to save the ship and can't even communicate properly with each other. it was a catastrophe that befuddled everyone now, how it happened, but it will be fully investigated. >> john, help the rest of us to understand. aren't there radar systems on board, collision avoidance equipment that should have been sounding alarms or doing something? >> there are a fabric of sensors that a sur sfas ship wil

joining us, retired rear admiral john kirby, diplomatic analyst and also a state department spokesman and pentagon press secretary. also joininging us, cnn global affairs analyst kimberly dozier, senior national security correspondent for "the daily beast." it looks like there could be a different, a significant difference between president moon of south korea and president trump of the united states over establishing a dialogue with kim jong-un's regime? >> what they have an opportunity to do is set the pattern for a way forward with north korea. possibly with moon being the good cop, reaching out to north korea, something he's signaled his own people he wants to do. something he campaigned on, and then you have trump saying, we have military options. but there are no good military options. so i think that's why you're seeing trump finally step up some of the economic measures to lever china into putting more pressure on north korea. i mean, china does 90 -- or north christine romans does 90% of its trade with china. trump gave them some room to run for a few months and obviously doe

. >> john kirby, your thoughts. >> first, i normally don't get involved in economic diminishes fr issuest according to the world bank for a million dollars invested in clean technology it creates two to three numbers of jobs, two to three times number of jobs that the same million dollars invested in fossil fuel would. i do think there's a future here for clean energy. let me focus on national security. the pentagon back in july of 2015 issued a report about the damages of climate change and the effect that's going to have on our national security, creating famine, drought, creating instability around the world as temperatures rise and water levels rise with it. if the president really wants to rebuild the military he'll have to spend a whole lot more money on defense spending in the future years if we pull out of this agreement and ignore the very real implications of climate change just on national security around the world. bigger military, more troops deployed. >> let me say something in response to that. people think this climate change deal will have anything to do what the global

joining us are cnn military and diplomatic analyst, retired rear admiral john kirby, served at the state department and the pentagon as press secretary. sounds like a pretty dangerous situation where you have the russians issuing this warning to u.s. and coalition planes and drones, to stay out of the way. >> it was a very weirdly worded warning and it was a warning, i agree with barbara. it also talked about escorting as well. so it's not quite clear just how overt the threat was. obviously the pentagon is taking it seriously as they should, and repositioning as they need to. what the chairman said today, we need to pay attention to that. he talked about that communications between the militaries is still ongoing. they are going to do what they can to restore this deconfliction arrangement and he also said it's not helpful for anybody for the rhetoric to get hyperbolic or shrill, let's work on communicating and trying to rachet down the temperature. >> is this an escalation from the u.s. perspective now in the trump administration that the syrian jet fighter going into a target, the u.s

let's discuss with retired rear admiral john kirby and diplomatic analyst, served with the state andagon, press secretary, also our cnn global affairs correspondent elise lavert. if this meeting takes place between president trump and putin could be significant? >> could be. i hope the white house sees it as way to shape the relationship going forward and bullish, frankly, with all the areas we have with russia. an opportunity to lay markers down with the president in a way he hasn't done. >> before and will the president do in this meeting, do you bl , believe what he did do with meeting wit russian ambassador a few weeks ago in the oval office, raise russian interference, meddling, in the u.s. presidential election, and tell the russians to stop it? >> i don't see that happening. president trump himself really hasn't acknowledged that he believes -- kind of danced around the topic. certainly never come out with a clear statement he believes russia was involved in the hacking and made clear he wants to move the relationship forward and not look back. has really kind of distanced him
