kirsten powers, first to you. a big week. we've been talking all night. what do you expect we will learn about president trump this week? >> well, i don't know. i mean i think he's coming into this after obviously the first meeting with the european leaders not going very well. he's somewhat isolated. and so the question is, is he going to go there and continue to remain isolated or is he going to do something to try to, you know, soothe the relationships a little bit and try to get, you know -- not be on the outs with our allies. you heard angela merkel there basically saying we don't have the kind of relationship with the united states we used to have, and i think they're at a point where they're about ready to start looking other places for people to partner with. >> alex, that's a great point. all of us, we like being around people who like us. president trump is about to go somewhere where those people might be few and far between. it might be hard to find them right now, even though these are allegedly some of america's great allies there. how do yo

kirsten powers, a quick closing thought to you.ian security aside, anything he could give to the european leaders who are really mad about the paris climate accord and the u.s. withdrawal? >> well, the problem is he's at odds with them on a lot of important issues, so i don't know -- he doesn't want to substantively -- he doesn't agree with them on climate change. he doesn't agree with them on migration. i think with climate change, they're ready to wash their hands of him at this point and just start working with other countries. >> thanks, guys. so much to watch over the next few days. that's the understatement of the week here. up next, a major milestone in the fight against isis. tonight coalition-backed forces are pushing further into raqqah and syria, completely surrounding isis fighters. the latest on the battle when "360" continues. ♪ if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's, and your symptoms have left you with the same view, it may be time for a different perspective. if other treatments haven't worked

kirsten powers, why?t resist this both in his public comments, but it appears now, in a private meeting with the leader of russia? >> well, as far as we can tell, he thinks any time this is brought up that it's somehow undermining his win, it somehow feeds into the idea that he didn't win legitimately so he doesn't want to talk about it. of course, the reality is that the russians could go after anybody. it happened to be hillary clinton. you know, next time it could be a republican. it could be somebody else. and so in order to take -- you know, to fix this problem, he does need to be raising it at the highest levels, i think, and also within his administration, frankly, people need to be showing a lot more curiosity than they've been showing about the topic. >> amanda, i wonder how much g wiggle room the president has here. he's enormously powerful in nominations, but there's question of how far he can go. there's been talk of the return of the diplomatic compounds that were taken away from russia in re

matt lewis, kirsten power, general psaki, david gergen.s not the first time that the president has sowed doubt about the u.s. meddling in the election. he happened to do it overseas and you don't go to warsaw and cast shadow over your intelligence agency. what do you make of that? >> that's true. you also don't attack a former president or attack the american media, which he did so he's doing a lot of things that are unprecedented and in his speech, which he got a lot of praise for, he did condemn russia for their destabilizing efforts in other countries. maybe people read into that, he could be talking about what happened here and then, of course, you have to take the full picture which is he's back to his other story which is who knows. >> matt lewis, you loved the speech in warsaw today but did that statement, "nobody knows for sure," which he delivered an hour before, did he undermine what was otherwise a very positive message? >> yes. he gets mad at the media for being critical of him and this is a case at the press conference and an

now thinks that we the people do not have the right to be anonymous this is how kirsten powers their political analyst explained it in a tweet. people do not have a right to stay anonymous so they can spew their racist massage honest homophobic garbage now that's an interesting argument coming from a network that's been running stories about trump based on unnamed sources for months based on anonymous sources according to this source who spoke on the condition of anonymity. now to me sources are the basis of most truthful reporting oftentimes you do have to gather information using anonymous sources say can i use your name and they say no can i use you as an anonymous source a source familiar with the matter they say yes and then we report the information on the air we've heard c.n.n. use this phrase so much it's actually spawned a number of online memes sure c.n.n. protects their online sources but the way they see it if you post something online that they consider to be offensive they have the right to reveal your personal information to the public something that could actually put

. >> jason miller and kirsten powers. maggie, you know we were on last night talking about the misogyny of the tweet of alleged bleeding and face lifts. it just gets weirder today. >> as you said there are a bunch of different threads converging into one. i think the national inquirer issue where they claim the white house threatened them unless they gave more favorable coverage and the president suggested it was the other way around. this is the down side to the white house constantly saying things that aren't true. because nothing has been shown to prove this. but it does shed light on how this president more than others we've seen because of his history in a business and private family in real estate skumpany, he had a pension for back room avenues. he's said to use private investigators. he had all different ties in new york city and news outlets. and so that's one window. i do think we're at the point now where i think that what the president did in that tweet was -- it was condemninable and it's not presidential and

"usa today" columnist and cnn political analyst kirsten powers and rebecca berg political analyst andal political reporter for real clear politics. i'm going to let you guys take over while i untie myself from the knots that i'm now in. i guess what i don't understand is -- the governor doesn't really seem to care about the perception. >> huh-uh. >> that actually tells us a lot. right? >> yeah. >> if he doesn't care, then where is his mind? i mean, he's not trying to make up for -- >> on the beach. >> well -- >> yeah, on the beach. >> any situation like this, a governor who cared about their political future or opinions about them in their state would say, yeah. maybe that was the wrong choice. that's not what he's doing. >> brianna, let me tell you. i listened to your back and forth with brian, and there were semantics of this. he said, that's his residence. well -- not the president -- keep calling him the president. governor christy wie was on the beach. the residence is one thing but he was on the beach that was closed. that's a different thing. there was big hypocrisy there. taxp

let's get to the presidential historian, kirsten powers and rick santorum of the senior political commentator and matt lewis. tim, you're first. the historian on the panel. here's what president trump said. >> political correctness for me is easy. sometimes they say he doesn't act presidential. and i say hey, look, great schools, smart guy. it's so easy to act presidential. but that's not going to get done. in fact i said it's much easier, by the way, to act presidential than what we're doing here tonight, believe me and i sa said -- and i said with the exception of the late great abraham lincoln i can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office. that i can tell you. >> first of all i'm not sure how many presidents he can name other than president obama. the issue for him has always been that he wanted to be different, he wanted to change the norms, he promised his base that he would not act like any other leader they'd ever had before. but you know what being presidential is not all about what you say or what you tweet, it's about what you achieve. so far as senator

let's get right to cnn's presidential historian, timothy natali, political analyst kirsten powers, rick san tore 'em, and cnn political commentator matt louis. tim, you are first. here is what president trump said. >> political correctness for me is easy. sometimes they say, "he doesn't act presidential." and i say, "hey, look, great schools, smart guy." it is so easy to act presidential, but it is not going to get it done. in fact, i said, it is much easier, by the way, to act presidential than what we're doing here tonight, believe me. i said -- [ cheering and applause ]. >> and i said, with the exception of the late, great abraham lincoln, i can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office. that i can tell you. [ cheering and applause ]. >> tim? >> well, first of all, i'm not sure how many president he could actually name other than president obama. i think that the issue for him has always been that he wanted to be different, he wanted to change the norms. he promised his base that he would not act like any other leader they'd ever had before. but you know wh

stoddard, matthew whitaker, kirsten powers, mike shields. mike, as a supporter of the president, would it be a mistake to remove jeff sessions? >> i think it would be. i think, you know, there's been a conversation about loyalty a lot tonight. i think loyalty is a part of this, but think it's also confidence. i think the president needs to have confidence in the attorney general and my understanding is he's frustrated because jeff sessions recused himself from an investigation that hadn't begun. when he recused himself, there wasn't an investigation. now there is. so that makes you lose confidence in somebody when they recuse themselves from something that hasn't begun, you may have contributed to the atmosphere that created it. i think jeff sessions has to get the confidence of the president back. >> how do you do that, though? the communications director saying they should sit don and have a face-to-face. it doesn't sound like something that president trump wants to do. sarah huckabee sanders was at the white house today and there was no f

with me now, mary katherine ham, errol louis, kirsten powers, scott jennings, and paul begala.cott, can the white house really claim this was transparency with a straight face? >> in a crisis public relations situation, typically you want your first response to be, you know, what's the old saying, measure twice, cut once. you don't want to be coming back to the well. they did, however it took, arrive at a transparent moment of e-mail release. that was a choice they had to make. they need to follow through on that now. and he does need to testify. he's offered to do it. that's absolutely the correct public posture. one worry i have about this whole issue is that in some of the reporting, there are west wing staffers on air force one, helping craft the response for donald trump jr.. >> reported that in "the new york times." >> yes, this is troubling, because you may have people who aren't in the meeting, who may be didn't even know anything about it until that moment, that are possibly now in the investigatory loop, when they otherwise might not have been. and so, as someone who'

joining me now, david chalian, kirsten powers, brian lanza, matt whittaker and jason miller. david, how important is this news? >> i think it's pretty significant, because i think we have moved to a different place now. throughout the last six months when donald trump said no collusion, he had some sense that there was no data point out there that people could say hey, during the campaign, x talked to y. this is connected to russia and trying to damage hillary clinton. now we have that. now for the first time we actually have those data points, and it is donald trump, jr., as you were just discussing with jeff, anderson. nobody closer. this is something that was in senior strategy meetings, traveling the country as a surrogate. we know at that time, around june 9 last year is when staff shakeups were happening inside the trump orbit. because of the trump children's involvement with that. this is now central to the candidate, talking about damaging information to hillary clinton, which would be helpful to donald trump, from somebody who is a russian national, or foreign advers

joining me tonight kirsten powers, jeffrey toobin, maggie haberman, and david shallian. you've been talking to folks probably close to the president. what is he doing with jeff sessions? >> a lot of this is a kaleidoscope. you're looking at it and people are seeing different things. is he genuinely very angry, blames jeff sessions. he said this in this interview with me and my colleagues last week. he has continued to say it, even saying it privately. in his heart of hearts, he would like jeff sessions gone. jeff is correct, is he caught in this sort of catch 22. he wants him gone but who is the replacement and how do you get the replacement in unless it's a recess appointment which will create all kinds of backlash. in terms of backlash, he is choosing the one person who really is not only indicating a pretty pure conservative policy formula out of anybody in his administration with the exception of scott pruitt to attack and he is somebody who has a lot of credit with the conservative base and the reaction and support sessions has gotten surprised the president a bit.

. >> another piece of the puzzle here with the panel, kirsten powers, ryan lizza, steve hall, maggieberman and jeffrey toobin. ryan it's hard to overstate just the importance of this just in terms of the progression of the story. there's still a lot we don't know and it's important to point that out. >> if this were something that was simply in isolation that is none of the events came after it, i could understand some of the defenses as no big deal, just meeting with someone to learn about the opponent's campaign. but it becomes a much, much bigger deal when looked at in the broader tapestry of what we've learned. weeks later at the republican national convention, the traditional view of the republican party was changed to be more pro-russia. after the election was over, the repeated attempts of trump advisers to hide, conceal meetings with russian officials. donald trump's strange defense of michael flynn, him firing the fbi director. repeatedly defending putin, repeatedly going to bat for russia, repeatedly saying that the intelligence community's assessment that russia interfered

. >> i also want to bring in brian stelter, kirsten powers. brian, there's the whole question of where these leaks are coming from. >> right. >> who it is who had access to these e-mails, and was able to give them to the "new york times," and even tell them earlier about this -- about this meeting. >> there's an implication here that at least some of these leaks are coming from within the white house or right around the white house. and "the new york times" has said as much. advisers to the white house. >> that's how the times described it. >> just four days in a row of bombshells to the "new york times." we hear president trump praising his son as being transparent but as y'all have mentioned, it was only because the times called and asked for comment that the son released these e-mails. we've talked about the white house having a credibility crisis. so i'm struck by how many people are taking the president's lawyer at his word when the president's lawyer is saying, no, the president had no knowledge of this meeting and was not invve in this

cnn political analyst kirsten powers. cnn political commentator robby mook.ow you were a cnn -- where have i an bn? tara, good to have you back. haven't seen you in a while. so thanks for coming on, everyone. i'm going to start with you, tara. anthony scaramucci has come in like a category 5 hurricane. in the job less than a week. i think his official starting day was yesterday. so -- you think he's going it make it through the week? >> well, he'll certainly make it through the week because obviously donald trump has empowered him to be this bulldog to come out there, not be a traditional white house communications director. i mean, i was a communications director on capitol hill. not in the white house. on capitol hill. the tenets are basically the same. this is not how you behave. >> would you have done that? >> if anyone had done that, they'd be fired. there's no way that type of behavior, that type of language, on the record, this very bombastic in your face antagonistic relationship would ever fly. that's just not appropriate. but this is something curio

david gergen, kim cuccinelli, maggie haberman, matt lewis and kirsten powers.this notion of repeal without replacement, is this realistic are or republicans seen to be trying to do all they can do before letting this go? >> it's more an act of symbolism. they don't have the votes. of the four senators who opposed this replace and repeal and delay, three of them are women. they stood up firmly on this. i just want to say, earlier in the program, the white house was instructing us on the duties of a president especially overseas. it's really time this white house faced up to the duties of the president here at home. and that is to be president of all the people. not just your base. that is to put the interests of the country first and not your own politics. and that is to stand up like a man and admit when you've come short and go back and try again. from my perspective on this health care issue, when the president says he's going to let obamacare fail, what that means is he's going to let a lot of americans suffer from increased premiums in the months ahead if t

kirsten: we are grounded in the idea that who is told in a better model for bringing these businesses to life? so much of the consumer ecosystem has changed. that has impacted the powerthe brand. it's gotten a lot more complicated. we think about having a great product and having a value proposition that is safe. to get that and a great service, that has a lot to do with being convenient, being personalized. many businesses are on stages of meeting those demands. there is a lot of opportunity in eco. emily: that was kirsten green. in the, shares of rental car company avis jumped after reaching a deal with alphabets self driving car unit. avis will service and manage the fleet of 600 cars in phoenix. hours after the announcement, apple is working with hurts to test self driving technology. we asked if more partnerships are expected. >> phoenix has these 600 autonomous vans. they are testing them out with volunteers. when the cars are finished or something breaks, avis will be responsible for that type of thing. >> apple has some very highly paid engineers. the last thing they want to be doing is have those guys looking after the mechanics of the cars. hurts is respons
