the white house is saying it came from national security council attorneys, but with that "the washington post" reporting in mind, that it had to come from someone as high as chief of staff or the national security council adviser, does that mean you all are planning to call mick mulvaney on the former national security council adviser john bolton before the commit year? >> i would caution not to go ahead ahead of it. i can tell you as someone who would have worked there, i never would have presumed to tell the professionals, particularly in the national security area how to handle something, where to put it, how to classify it. anybody where any common sense knows you're in dangerous ground, particularly when your motives are to try to conceal embarrassment or keep distribution from people who legitimately have a reason to have it. you know you're doing something wrong. you're right to focus on it as suspicious, but who did what, what it means, what witnesses we'll call, way too soon to tell. >> if this was done without the president's knowledge -- again, this all came out yesterday. the

does the united nations security council, resolutions, and when europe displaced -- displays , the only way shall be to rely on national dignity, .ride and strength they call us to negotiations while they run away from treaties and deals. we negotiated with the incumbent the five plust on one negotiating table. however, they failed to honor the commitment made by the predecessor. nation andf my states, i would like to announce that our response to any negotiation under sanctions is negative. the government and people of iran have remained steadfast against the harshest sanctions in the past one and a half years and will never negotiate with an enemy that seeks to make iran surrender with a weapon of poverty, pressure, and sanctions. if you require it a positive , and as declared by the leader of the islamic revolution, the only way for is to return to commitments and compliance. if you are sensitive to the name , well, then you can return to its framework and abide by the united nations security council resolution 22-31. stop the sanctions. so as to open the way for the start of negotia

and those notes would have been circulated in most white houses to senior members of the national security council. >> i think what's not widely understood, andrea, is the fact that the national security council staff, that is to say the nsc staff that we're talking about here, these are not political operatives. these are not political types. during the final years of the obama administration there were 180 national security council staffers. 90% of those were so-called detailees, people on loan to the white house from the state department, from the fbi, in my case from the cia. these are individuals who called the white house their office, who go to the white house every day. but they're paid by their home agencies. their career prospects are in the hands of their home agencies. and if and when they ever have a complaint on this level, they would go to their own home offices. in this case their own inspector general. so this is the staff that supports the national security adviser and the president. it's also important that the staff be apprised and be able to fulfill their function of coordinat

to try the national security council and just in the last few minutes we go to another response when the bulk of the funds the pentagon initially someone said to us we will perhaps you should also national security council but now we're going to fishel response or service which is also the state department so no one else is taking any responsibility for this for this tweet we have these images purporting to show the time go off the coast of syria but no confirmation of anything beyond that and no cultivation from the white house that they have got any evidence actually that the time has indeed reached syria and trysting way you say she had because we also had been hearing reports of splits really within the administration when it comes to foreign policy issues including iraq. right and you have to sort of put that into the context of this tweet or maybe the wooding of this tweet for weeks we've heard about how john bolton's being sidelines on various foreign policy issues he wasn't included in those talks with the taliban for example in afghanistan just in the last few hours about sev

i want to remind everyone that the national council is a volunteer organization, the women who remembers give their hard earned money to the civil rights activities and my goal herere is to eliminate the different civil rights activism activities that the council was doing to show how the council was interested in putting black women in positions of power in american society which is a very important thing that they did and finally continue to exist as a black woman led, a black woman organized organization for over 80 years. as this organization, they have honored and spoke in the name of great black women including the founder and longtime president. she was president from 1958 to 1990. in think that the council did, they were the first organization to raisewe a statute to a black leader or to a woman leader with national capital. washington, d.c. property in 1974, they raised all the money on their own, not a cent of government money was spent but a statue in lincoln park was erected in 1974. so i conclude my goal is to bring some of this work to life and hopefully to inspire other pe

we seem to be moving, not just the white house counsel's office, thew putting it on the national security council'sffice specifically. we don't know who it is. there's not a lot of detail about exactly whether or not that national security council lawyer who directed this to be moved was under the direction of someone else in the counsel's office or potentially someone higher up than that. but right now they are admitting a lawyer directed this transcript to be moved to a different server where these transcripts are typically kept. >> "the washington post" also reporting this morning that it was the president, who after some embarrassing phone calls were leaked early in his administration, said he wanted to tighten up the group of people who saw it. kaitlan collins, great to have you on. we'll be right back. we're oscar mayer deli fresh and you may know us from... your very first sandwich, your mammoth masterpiece. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives. make every sandwich count with oscar mayer deli fresh. still fresh... ♪ unsto

that intelligence agency then called in john eisenberg, deputy white house council who was staff to the nationalcouncil. the intelligence agency who had been alerted by the whistleblower and their deputies spoke multiple times the following week. they decided the accusations had a reasonable basis. those officials spoke on august 14th to the head of the national security division of the justice department according to three people familiar with the discussion. the head of the national security division at the justice department then went to the white house to read the transcript of the president's call to assess whether or not to alert other senior law enforcement officials. he decided to notify the deputy attorney general, the number two person in the justice department, jeffrey rosen and the head of the department's criminal division. department officials began to discuss the accusations and whether and how to follow up. william barr learned of the allegations around that time. while mr. barr was briefed, he did not over see the discussions on how to proceed. examining the accusations, the whi

let's stick with the national security council staff as the example here. during the final years of the obama administration the national security council staff had about 180 professionals who were focused on policy areas. of those 180 individuals, 90% of them were so-called detailees. that is to say they were not employed by the white house. they were not employed by the executive office of the president. they remained employed by the department of state, by the federal bureau of investigation. in my case i was the detailee from the central intelligence agency. so i was working in the white house day to day. but my performance evaluations were written by the cia. i was paid by the cia. ultimately, the cia had say over my professional future. now, it is my understanding that this person, and it would certainly make sense, this person did not come into the white house as part of the trump transition team. was not part of the trump campaign. by everything we know about this person, he or she went through the proper protocols. this person is doing his or her ut

how he effectively destroyed the national council security system. your words. explain that and how crucial that structure is? >> the national security adviser's first job other than staffing the president is managing the system of information and decision-making that is sort of running in washington for almost 70 years. information and hard choices working their way up to the bureaucracy to the president and the president make as decision and the system takes the decisions down for implementation. john bolton's job was to keep that system running. especially and especially difficult with a president like donald trump who the had never served in government. now, john bolton, though, took a bit of an odd approach. somewhat counterproductive. tried to formalize it and make it smaller, less inclusive, and top a degree less formal. that left him really trying to make decisions with the president alone. after all, you know, when he fell out of favor with the president over his recent views what ended up happening the system wasn't there to save him and the system's no

that i know you blamed mr bolton for essentially the institutionalizing of the work of the national security council you called him the antithesis of what a national security adviser is supposed to be but as far as i understand nobody except the president can decide what a national security adviser is supposed to be with all due respect it's only his prerogative and not bought off of the senate or distinguished scholars like yourself am i right absolutely that this is the problem of writing about this there is developed over the last 50 plus years since john f. kennedy appointed me george bundy to this position there is developed a consensus among analysts and people who work and to go. from about what the national security advisor should and should not do and a lot of that has involves a low profile being a reliable broker between the president and other aides and in the president's office and generally making the policy process work smoothly but he and bolton has essentially been the antithesis of this plan the problem is of course the president chooses presidents don't necessarily read our books

, am i correct >> that's right. >> who did you report to the national security council, the nationale political appointees in the white house, or the cia director >> so day to day, i would report to the national security adviser, the obama white house was very discrepancyscrupulous us away from political decisions and reporting to political officials. but i was paid by the cia. i would consult with the cia who remained my bosses at the time and importantly, if i had a whistleblower complaint at the time, i would go to my home office and that would have been the cia. it would have been either the cia inspector general or the dni inspector general. >> shane, how does this get resolved, when you've got the attorney general again saying that adam schiff and his house intelligence committee is not entitled to some very important classified information >> we've got a real standoff here the dni is essentially saying he's not going to comply with a subpoena we learned this last night, that chairman schiff on the intelligence committee has served him with -- chairman schiff has said he expect

the national security adviser oversees the national security council, don't forget that. this is a group of men and women with deep experience throughout the government in national security matters. and so the idea is not to be the voice of national security, it's to be the orchestrator of the american response when national security crises arise. like the attacks of 9/11. thank goodness we had condoleezza rice in that seat. this structure, by the way, the national security council was built after world war ii when there was a good bit of freelancing going on. it turned out fine, by the way. we won, thank god. but the whole idea was to create a structure in which an organized and thoughtful response could be crafted. and that's what susan rice and that's what condoleezza rice got. >> steve hadley was another, the other national security adviser who worked for george w. bush. there's a selflessness about people, condoleezza rice and susan rice became household names because of some of the events that transpired on their watch. but what's so uncomfortable about watching this

we saw some interesting reporting earlier today, i believe it was, that national security council lawyers, according to the white house trying to explain this away, that the deputy lawyer on the national security council staff actually authorized that. if you believe the white house statement, he did so in order to protect classified information. here's what the white house didn't say, rachel, is that the deputy nsc legal adviser, he reports to the national security adviser, but that role is also dual hatted. this person reports to the white house counsel, which is a political position. you can make the case those around president trump, including his counsel who has been at the center of any number of recent stories, could have ordered this clear violation of an executive order, by the way, to upgrade the classification solely to protect something that is deemed politically embarrassing or explosive or even at worst to hide illegal activity on the part of the president. >> if all that happened, let me just ask you breevlgs do you think there will be a way to unwind who did what? do you t

>> that's a good question and what we learned today from reporting is that the national security council actually did it allegedly. we haven't confirmed that. but it could really be anyone fairly senior on the national security council who determines that either they want to put this secret document into this code word level system or they want to actually raise its classification level and put it in that system as some kind of code word top secret document. now, of course, experts say that that would prevent a whole host of people from effectively doing their jobs. it could compromise national security and our foreign policy because the people who rely on these readouts to conduct negotiations with foreign leader, for example, will not be able to see it because they don't have that kind of clearance. these are extremely sensitive -- this is an extremely sensitive system that most people in the white house don't have access to. it also kind of raises questions about whether this is actually the reason why the inspector general of the intelligence community felt that this was within his p

eight years in the clinton administration ray began, as a 28 -year-old staffer at the national security council and then became an assistant secretary of state so had responsibilities for the mncs and personnel in africa. then ultimately ambassador to the un and i got to run the policy process is national security officer. seeing it from all of these different vantage points has been a fascinating learning experience. when the system is working well, every voice should be heard. all of the options and the pros and cons of those options should be fully and faithfully presented to the resident who ultimately has to make all of the tough decisions. the national security decision-making process which is traditionally bottom-up process. yet the working level, provides papers and options and the goes up to the deputies, and into the principles the cabinet level, participants and then if the issues can be resolved at their levels, only the toughest issues lies to the level of the cabinet and the president. one of his national security advisor, my responsibility was to share the meeting at the cabinet

the third point was on the national council and i talk a little bit about their history. particularly their role in weaponizing language against anyone who criticizes open borders. they were at the heart of that which led to the southern poverty law center going after immigration enforcement patriots. it's a very important chapter because it talks about the confluence of the war on our borders and the increasing work on free speech being enabled by silicon valley. host: let's go to eric in fort myers, florida. caller: i'm a democrat and i have followed your career for about 10 years. i don't think very much of you but that's ok. the reason why i'm not thrilled about you is because most of the asian women that are your age all follow you which is kind of annoying. you always want to attack and you just said about five and its go in your program, how when you talk about immigration you go right to 9/11 and all these islamic attacks and you are wrong about muslims and foreigners assimilating into this country. we are the number one country where people assimilate. you have b

this material in the sci database was made by lawyers, even if they were lawyers for the national security council. i'd like to know -- look, there is a director in the nfc that would oversee this process. that person may have been involved in this decision. the national security adviser well may have been involved and certainly would be aware of it. >> what would point be, then, jack, of saying it was lawyers that directed this? >> i don't know. again, we need to explore all those questions. i mean, i would find that really remarkable that this was done without the knowledge or authorization or at the direction of the head of the nfc national security council director, or indeed, of the national security adviser, namely john bolton. i'll be shocked if this went into the sci database and john bolton was unaware of it. that's an early question i would like the answer to, and like a lot of other things, we've got a lot of questions to find out what really happened here. you know, it's going to take a while to pry that information out, i suspect, but they need to get on it and they need to get on it

the regime protests at the united nations, the largest antiregime group, the opposition group national counciltance of iran, they held a rally, we have video, we covered the rally outside of united nations, you can see there were protesting and calling for the regime to call, here is the leader to have group not only should the regime fall but she is saying that tehran only listens to the most forceful language, here is what she said in a statement provided to fox news. >> the regime aggressions have boldened it, experience has proven that. regime cannot be reformed and understands only the language of power and firmness. eric: decades of silence have emboldened the regime, how has that change? >> the reality of europe changing their position and that includes closing down the vehicle that they opened up last year to skirt the sanctions, they need to close that down, stop the trading with iran, once iran realizes that they're staring at either regime extinction or war, hopefully they'll realize that at that point that their rhetoric of staying open to new deal, that we get this deal done, the

trump pretty much the national security council and organizationally he's white house is often criticized for being too disorganized absent conscious for example to his predecessor barack obama who tried to put at least try to put the basque practices into the policy works i mean you know if we look at his decisions let's say his decision on libya you know we just heard not only that country but have major consequences for europe with being searing migration a crisis that doesn't strike me as too well thought through this a with syria his secret order authorizing the cia to work with saudi arabia in trying to overthrow bashar al assad and in that country i mean to use. president obama's phrase and to modify the a little bit don't you think that trump with all his mere cure mere curial temperament with all his disorganization that he has done much less stupid stuff than president obama himself who like the policy process so much i mean it's harder to give a quick comparison i think obama was much more thoughtful much more careful the libya intervention turned out badly at the time it was a

th what that tells you is the white house council's office wants to say didn't have anything to do with this. it was a nationality council lawyer w it. that's something people are going to be payayg attention to. >> we learned thatou the foreign affairs committee has subpoenaed the secretary of state, mikeul pompeo. we learn more about this whole operation if he's called to capitol hill?el >> absol what they reallyutant from pompeo is documen. they want to know more about foreign affairs officers a the embassy, in ukraine, who apparently expressed concern freelancing in that country as a sort of quasi diplomat. d, you know, what exactly the concerns were that they were they want to know more about, you know, giuliani is arguing that hell did this at the behest of the state department. and so dememrats have been asking for an enormous cache of document from the state department. they haven't gotten athing so far. so they took the next step thiss week. they now say that the secretary state has a week to turn the documents over. let's see if the administration is more receptive to this tacti now thans been in the

everybody on the national security council has the security clearance and everyone works there share tem that many most people in government can't have access to. that's a national security council. they're working with secrets and not the most explosive. the vip room which is a security system that's not connected to that other security system that i described and you can't hop from one to the other. they're not connected. that's where this higher level of secret is placed and that's covert action, very sensitive intelligence and what veterans of the national security council from multiple administrations perform t perfo performing. transcripts normally live in that system is much more widely available. they may be moved to the secure, again vip system if the foreign leader conversation had a discussion of highly sensitive intelligence, maybe some very secret operation inside russia. the prime minister of united kingdom but it is very unusual and strange to move a transcript like that if the only thing that you are trying to hide is something that may be political embarrassing which

the federal overnment especially encountering it -- countering it here who have nick ran the national council terrorism center for three years. was deputy for 2 1/2 years that. and has said publicly, that absolutely none of that time was focused on domestic terrorism. nick, how do we understand that? the public understand how the national counterterrorism center wasn't this threat? >> well, i'm the nonlawyer of here, and so, but i ould fully subscribe to this set of comments made before me that talk about we need a better framework but as a practical matter the way our government approaches the set of facetic challenges that we is different than the way we approach our set of international terrorism concerns. in uple of things happened the last couple of years that brought that home to me. one is, when i would go abroad meet with my counterparts from other countries, i would think about international versus domestic terrorism, they would ook at me as if i was bringing some lexicon to the table that made no sense. they didn't create such divide. they simply talked about terrorism and the kinds

although he did have a secret service detail and an armored up suv, which i never saw the national economic council director under bush have. i always told him that andy was a cheapskate. the s.o.b. would never allow you to have an armored up suv, particularly if you were the national economic council director. ms. compton: let me ask you, gerrymandering. you talked about gerrymandering. >> can you all here? ms. compton: gerrymandering! [shouting] [laughter] we will start with governor alan. mr. allen: the question was on gerrymandering! [laughter] mr. allen: gerrymandering, and have an example, eric cantor, on some other problems in washington. and in governance generally, you need to listen to the other side. i see chief alston here. there you are. i learned a lot as governor listening to virginia indians, something i knew nothing about. it was not an issue i run on, but you need to listen to people and learn about all the people. it is best if you actually run an election based on the agenda and ideas, and if you are given the honor of serving, you keep your promises. it helps. with a democratic
