perspective now from cnn national commentator mike rogers, former republican congre congressman, also chief national correspondent john king joins us who's host of cnn's "inside politics" and chief political analyst, gloria borger. john, we're going to see donald trump on this decommissioned "uss iowa." you know, you think back to obviously president bush on an aircraft carrier. you think of michael dukakis on a tank. it can be a tricky thing to have, to use a military facility as a backdrop. especially for a guy who, you know, had a number of deferments and hasn't really put much meat on the bone in terms of specifics. >> it can be a tricky thing if we apply what we know from past campaigns. if we've learned anything about donald trump, we should be very careful about applying anything we know from past campaigns. for george w. bush, remember, he flew onto the aircraft carrier. he was in the flight suit. he had the mission accomplished banner. after the fact when things went south in iraq, turned out that event was a debacle. former president bush has noted that and said the staff ma

joining me fareed zakaria and mike rogers, former u.s. house intelligence committee. so , the body language, it was a joyful clink or not? we've gone so far beyond that. russians and this meeting between the two leaders is way more significant than body language. >> way more significant and i think we reduced foreign policy sometimes to psycho therapy where we think it's about the relationship. obviously, there is a personal element but they had very conflicting views off the situation of their interest in the situation in the middle east with regard to ukraine and there has to be some clarity brought to that. how can you find some area of common agreement and interest. that is probably where there were serious business of the meeting was. >> and mike, you know, they couldn't even agree on who asked for the meeting, john earnest said that the russians, vladimir putin was desperate to meet. is that part of the problem here? >> i mean almost soft mark that the white house would gauge about what wanted the meeting or didn't candidly. this is

. >> reporter: detective sergeant mike rogers can't believe his ears. couldn't this have just been a guy blowing off steam, talking about his ex-wife like a lot of guys do? >> that's always a possibility. but i thought we needed to go a investigation. and you told me that that recording was greg konrath's voice, is that correct? >> yes. >> reporter: whether out of conscience, revenge, or fear, konrath's confidant is now ready to spill the beans. when we return, the trauma surgeon is back from the beach. and about to go into the box with detective rogers. >> what's the red light for? >> it's recording. >> oh, okay. >> reporter: and has even more bombs to drop. >> i used a knife. i tried to stab myself and hit my heart. >> reporter: and later, dr. konrath on tape again. this time, ours. when "20/20" continues. >> you comfortable? >> yes. (queen's "you're my best friend" plays) ooh... you make me live, whatever this world... at petsmart, we know that pet adoption changes lives. that's why petsmart charities helps save more than a thousand homeless pets eve

joining me now, cnn national security commentator mike rogers, former republican chairman of the houseommittee. what's putin doing here? >> several things. there's a warm water port in syria he's long wanted to maintain and his lease is up in ten years. this is his way in keeping that warm water port. think about this. after the nuclear deal, with iran, heading the quds force, cia special forces, goes to moscow thereafter you see this healthy ramp-up. this is clearly coordinated with tehran to make sure that assad, who they both support, iran and russia, staying in power, at least for some interim period. so this is a foreign policy effort on behalf of vladimir put than certainly isn't in align with u.s. interests or anyone else ms intere else's interests. >> we've seen pilots being more aggressive. they've also brought in not in addition to 1500 troops, and heavy armament they'll provide to assad's troops and they'll probably provide command and control logistic support, intelligence support. we've seen an aggressive posture in the new -- some of the new fighters they've provided. mai

. >> reporter: detective sergeant mike rogers can't believe his ears. >> couldn't this have just beenwing off steam, talking about his ex-wife, like a lot of guy dozen? >> that's always a possibility but i thought we needed to go further with the investigation. >> reporter: rogers calls him in for questioning. >> we've uncovered some concerning conversation between you and joanna about you wanting to kill ana. >> reporter: and the doctor is happy to spin his own yarn. >> there's a difference between ranting about my ex-wife or, you know, i'm sure she does the same thing about me. >> reporter: detective rogers searches this humble rental home conraf and joanna were sharing and finds that gun in the garage. along with other incriminating evidence. he's arrested and charged with attempted murder. to the prosecution the case looks open and shut. but in keeping with the spirit of this strange saga, conraf won't stand trial. >> you decided to drop those charges? >> ultimately we had to. you had to be in the vicinity with the means to commit the murder. we couldn't get the case past the judg

mike rogers, give us your thought right now.hairman of the house intelligence committee as we await president obama's important remarks. is there a bit of a walking away, as a lot of observers are now suspecting? maybe it's not necessary to remove bashar al assad so quickly given the terrorist grip that is engulfing syria and iraq, for that matter, right now? >> if you don't get an interim agreement to remove assad over time, that situation gets 100 times worse. these are conversations, actually, wolf, you and i had this conversation about two years ago about the limiting options. the longer the united states waited to try to get in and form that arab league coalition and actually take action against what was a growing threat in east syria, the fewer solutions that were available to them. right now i don't know if you'd find any serious national security participant tell you it would be good for assad to go away tomorrow, because there would be a fundamental collapse of that government. in that regard, i think putin is correct,

admir mike rogers was on capitol hill testifying about the defense department cyber tragedy and they are on the right track but not fast enough to counter cyber threats in rush beia and china. when he was asked about isis, he believes that the obama administration is not doing enough to counter the propaganda and recruitment on line. >> we must contest isil aggressively as we do on the battlefield. the information dynamic is a component of their vision and strategy and ultimately their success and we have got to be be willing to fight them in that domain and we are clearly not there yet. >> latest estimates include 40000 isis twitter accounts and one in five of those selected engish as their primary language. the white house is trying to fight the war through social media like think again and turn away. the effectiveness is widely critized. and yesterday in a counter terrorism summit, the president pointed to a new anti- isis in a bu dabi. >> we are stepping up on line. and the soop center is expanding isil for what it s. a terrorist organization that kills men and women and children

. >> the head of nsa mike roger ares is testifying before the senate intelligence committee. we are learning that the hack was much worse than original willy reported. 5.6 million finger prints were stolen. and now the white house spokesman resisting efforts to draw political conclusions one day before the chinese president arrives in washington. >> additional information about this scope of the intrusion and matter of material was onlily recently determined. and so the new information was communicated to relevant members of congress days after it was learned and once that information was communicated to congress it was communicated to the public. >> reporter: law makers are not buying the obama administration's explanation. it was called a blatant news dump. it is a pr crisis than a hack. washington assumes they are too stupid or preoccupied to care about cyber security. the reason theft of finger prints are significant. more and more devices are using biomet ribs and pass words. obviously a finger print cannot be reset. two former officials say based on the investigation, a

doug heye, mike rogers, appreciate it.tune in tonight for the first of two debates beginning at 6:00 p.m. eastern. the main event with the 11 candidates starts at 8:00 p.m. eastern. >>> donald trump wants to build a wall and send all illegal immigrants back to mexico. why one family i talked with said those words hurt. >> we're not monsters. like everyone says that we're immigrants, but no one -- everyone is an immigrant. no one descended from native americans. you are an immigrant because you all came from somewhere. this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain. and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis from the inside out ...with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage and clear skin in many adults. doctors have been prescribing humira for nearly 10 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuber

the cnn political analyst ron brownstein, and the former michigan governor jennifer granholm, and mike rogersho is our cnn commentator and also jeffrey lord who is a trump supporter, and he said it would be a national security speech, but it was not. >> and i'm on the grill, but he is doing message, message, message, and as we get into the debate, what is the message here, and you get it here in terms of what ronald reagan would call peace through strength, but i will recall here at the ronald reagan library, he, himself, was criticized not only as a candidate, but also through the strobe talbot who wrote this in 1984 said that he doesn't know what nuclear throw weight weights are, and doesn't know this or that, and et cetera, and things worked out differently. >> and reagan the had been a two-term governor and years of radio broadcasts to lay out the views -- and i can't believe i am saying this, but in a 1980 campaign of the radio broadcasts that laid out a detailed view of the domestic and international viewpoints which is a lot more to go through than what donald trump has said. >> and we

mike rogers is with us, cnn commentator, former chair of the house intelligence, and other experts standing by. what jumped out at you? >> it seemed like a bit of a legacy speech. he missed an important -- >> i want to tell our viewers, we're showing president obama leaving the united nations. you'll see him walking out this door shortly. go ahead. >> i thought he missed an incredible opportunity. 8 million displaced individuals causing tremendous pressure not only across the middle east but now into europe. he just didn't seem to address it. he's trying to keep it a lofty legacy style. i heard some campaign themes drifted into this speech. again, i just thought it was a huge missed opportunity. it was that professor obama to the leaders of the world that you shouldn't be dictators and terrorists and bad people. you know, unfortunately, that's not what's going to change on the ground for these countries. so, i think you'll hear more detail from putin, who's actually making an on-the-ground realistic approach to where he thinks he can gain strength and influence across the middle east. i thi

let's bring in cnn national security commentator mike rogers, former member of congress who dealt withse issues. i want to put up a poll. we asked voters what issues do they think are the very important. foreign policy and terror, it's not the most important issue. economy, health care, social security, they all rank higher than terrorism, which is the first on that list. so how important in this campaign, foreign policy in the battle against terror? >> it's going to be huge. if you look at that number, 80% on any issue is a significant percentage, number one. number two, when you look at polling in early primary states, it is often times number one. actually, one of the first polls came out in iowa was foreign policy/national security was the number one issue. those are really important numbers for early primary states. important numbers for candidates. >> what do they want to see, policy or proficiency? >> you don't have to be a national security expert to turn on your tv and know something is wrong. we're already suffering that second and third order problem from the iranian deal. y

joining us live is mike rogers, a cnn national security commentator, chairman -- former chairman of thetee. mike, i don't think it's you that looks unbalanced. there you are. you're perfect on camera now. how are you, mike? great to have you on "new day." mike -- >> thanks for having me. >> it must drive you crazy when you hear people like donald trump glossing over their foreign policy plan and not -- and saying they don't need to know the names of various foreign terror leaders. >> you know, one of the things we know is the very first day, hillary clinton even said this in her speeches, the president -- the next president will be tested. so january 21st, 2017 is a very important day for the next president of the united states. you have to have a good basic understanding of the challenges and the nuances, if you're running around saying we're going to send the 101st airborne division to solve all the world's problems, you have a problem or if you say we're not doing anything at any time, you have a problem. you have to have a nuance understanding of national security. it does drive you

and tech companies are saying it's a backdoor access and you have the director and nasa chief mike rogers talking about a front door, a front door with big locks. criptographers might say it's impossible. why don't you start by outlining the specific encryption challenge. what is the problem as the fbi views it and the proposals that have been flying around washington? >> sure. i think, again, the ability for us to be able to get readable text, the information that we need, in order to further an investigation, in order to prevent an attack or in order to bring someone to justice for a crime that they committed, that's the piece that is at issue. and for the encryption piece of the -- of the discussion that we've been having, the issue comes down to whether or not the company is able to build in some time of solution so that when served with a warrant we can actually get that information. and whether we're talking about real time communications, data in motion we refer to it or stored communications, data at rest, the matter comes down to being able to access that. so in order to access t

you did pass good legislation that gave mike rogers and i some more authority to directly hire peoplewithout having some of the normal rules and regulations that we have to follow so we could compete. i know there's some work on some additional. we would appreciate that. i think one fact we have to understand, we are not going to pay exactly as much as industry in cyber security and some other areas. one of the things we have going for us, we have an exciting mission. when i talk to -- i spend a lot of time talking to people who want to work for dod. we're trying to attract them. we have been able to pull some people in, even the last year, into my staff. as long as we can get them in fast and offer them the right wage, which the new authority gives us, i think we'll be able to continue in the right -- they want to work this mission. your legislation has really helped us with that. >> if i could add, this is one area where i suspect over time we may in fact end up coming back to you as our experience tells us or things we could do differently, challenges we need your help in overcomin

mike rogers, the head of u.s. cyber command, told lawmakers today that the government is still working its way through the issue. he is back on capitol hill tomorrow to testify in implementing a strategy. later, hearing on the threat of islamist extremism in russia. the houseage before foreign affairs subcommittee is at 2:00 p.m. eastern on c-span three. as the president from planned parenthood testified for -- testified on capitol hill, the house approved a bill that would allow states to exclude planned parenthood or other groups that perform abortions from medicaid programs. pro tempore: the chairman is recognized. mr. pitts: madam speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 3495, the women's public health and safety act. this bill, at its core, is about choice as well as protecting the lives of millions of unborn babies across america. .r. 34695 would empower states with flexibility to include or -- h.r. 3495 would empower states with flex ict to include or not include providers who assist in elected abortions.

if you read the 40 page report, roger goodell looks awful, mike. he looks terrible. to the point that arthur blank, the falcons owner, comes out and says that we will to have look at maybe we have to replace roger goodell moving forward. that will take 24 votes for him to lose his gig but ultimately when you are getting paid 45 million-dollar a year, you have to be flawless and roger goodell has been anything but that, that is for sure. >> would you agree with that. >> i a absolutely would agree. the players put themselves in this position. cba they had gave roger goodell so much power. it goes until 2020. my guess this is in the last time we will be dealing with this cba is collective bargaining agreement. >> yes. >> how about sean, real quickly here can you imagine what the fantasy leagues went through when they heard tom brady is back, eligible to play. >> mike, if you are a veteran of the fantasy there is no reason for you to have your craft until this upcoming week. you have to play games. there are people that have had their drafts and got tom brady in the late

the report frames roger handling the deflategate as a make up call and is still upset over the scandal. appearing on mike refeuded claims between the two. >> i am not aware of my connection between the spy gate procedures and the procedures that we went through here. we learn from every time we go through a process and try to improve it and get better at it. there's no connection in my mind to the two incidents. >> well, the major league baseball and the nationals hosting in the second of a three game series and starting the night with a five game lead over washington for a top spot. let's go to the bottom of the six. up 3-1 with the bases loaded. >> up the middle. robinson is going to score. michael and taylor is going circle the bases. the national's lead 7-1. >> the outfield er with an error that turns the single into a grand slam and giving them a six run advantage. now you you think that washington could coach from there, right? wrong. they raced the deficit to tie the game with the help of six walks and then in the 8th winning it was the new and highest go ahead and pitch and home run. the mets com

roger"? >> tell us about this controversy over the headsets. >> reporter: this has become a mushrooming story. after the game the pittsburgh steelers' head coach mikebout the fact that the coaches could not hear in their headsets for much of the first half. coaches have something called coach-to-coach headsets. they go between the coaches on the sideline, also go to the coaches up in the box at the top of the stadium, and mike tomlin said that the patriots' radio broadcast was bleeding into their head sets so loud they couldn't hear or talk to each other. now, i want to read you a statement from the nfl where they talked about this issue. this is what they had to say after the game. the nfl said the pittsburgh coaches experienced interference in their headsets caused by a stadium power infrastructure issue -- that's what they blamed it on -- which was exacerbated by inclement weather. the nfl says, once the power issue was addressed, the equipment functioned properly with no additional issues. we have to give you a couple points. first of all, the nfl controls the headsets. this is nfl equipment, not patriots equipment, although you can't control a
