we also have ned price and navee jamali. kasie, what stood out this morning from the testimony of this morning? >> i think the most interesting information we found in that hearing with john brennan -- now of course most of what he said has been reported in the press, but it was pretty remarkable that brennan said it on record as the former cia director, of course outlining that he believes that trump associates talked to -- at least had contacts with russian officials. now he said that at the -- that there was at the point that he left the administration, there was still no evidence necessarily of collusion, and that of course was kind of the main focus many times throughout this hearing. take a look at congressman trey gowdy pressing brennan on this question. >> did you see evidence of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between donald trump and russian state actors? >> i saw information and intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation or collusion was taking plac

let's, let's start with you, ned. you know, the one thing that surprised me was that no reporter aually asked about this potential re-org if you would, at the administration. that was sort of the news cycle all weekend long was that spicer might be out, and there might be a whole new team coming in. bannon might be out, reince priebus might be out and that donald trump wanted to bring in a whole new crowd because he was frustrated with this team's inability to really deliver the message that he wants delivered. no one asked it! >> right. i mean, that is a little startling to me, you're right. axios ran a story and was talking about, perhaps, whole scale throw the baby and the bath water out. let's start again. one thing is clear, donald trump thrives on chaos, but at a certain point. it might work doing corporate work, but in the white house he's going to have to figure out how do we get a more cohe'soff team so we can -- cohesive team so we can drive the agenda. i'm afraid some of this chaos, if it doesn't turn aroun

i appreciate it he was loyal guy -- >> ned, to whom?was loyal at some point he has to understand it's time to move on from mike flynn. there are costs in politics. he cannot lose any more political capital defending mike flynn. he's got to focus getting back on track to get his agenda passed. >> is it not rich to say i appreciate that president trump, a man on his third wife, blown people up right and left, i appreciate he's a loyal guy, elected president of the united states, be loyal to the american people and if you have someone under investigation probably don't put him in your administration? >> i totally agree with that. >> the previous administration -- >> i agree and i think this was a mistake that should never have happened. >> donald trump throughout his life and career has proven he's loyal to one person donald trump. trump comes first. america doesn't come first. mike pence doesn't come first. what he's doing isn't serving his administration well. a series of self-inflicted wounds right now causing more damage, not helping t

and ned price. it was a hearing unlike any we have seen before. it was the dramatic story of a woman in the first week of her new big job, biggest job of her life who gets some information that she knows her boss is going to hate. and so she brings that information immediately to her boss's lawyer, who is also in the first week of his new job. as her boss's lawyer. and her boss is in his first week of his new job. as president of the united states. and the only person in this story who does the right thing is that woman in the first week of her new job which would turn out to be the last week of her new job. >> to state the obvious, you don't want your national security adviser compromised with the russians. >> red flags and warnings sent to the trump administration about former national security adviser michael flynn. >> president obama warned president trump not to hire mike flynn. >> did you not vet him yourselves? >> that's where it appears that the trump transition dropphe ball. >> the underlyi

i want my panel to weigh in here, ned, ryan, zerlina. i want to share some of the change between trey gowdy and director brennan. >> did evidence consist between collusion between the trump campaign and russian state actors at the time you learned of 2016 efforts? >> i don't know whether or not such collusion, and that's your term, such collusion existed. i don't know. >> i know that they needed to turn up the air conditioning in that room. rick, what is your thoughts here? a lot of smoke. >> absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. >> one more time? >> they teach you that in law school. the fact that they don't yet have evidence of collusion doesn't mean that it didn't happen. this is an investigation, they're in the middle of it. all the republicans, mr. gowdy is trying to pin him down and say is there evidence of collusion. well, we'll see. we don't know. but one of the things that brennan did, and i worked with him at the white house, is he was very careful about parsing his words to say this is a continuing investigation. we

you and i and ned don't know the substance what was done and we better not know it. that would be even worse. what i am struck by having worked three years at the white house, the national security council, somebody that close to the president sitting in that meeting, clear from the reporting somebody was sitting in the meeting with lavrov was so worried about what was said they felt compelled to speak to the "washington post" about it suggests it was pretty serious. >> here's another thing. ned, it says the "washington post," i'm reading from the article, is withholding most plot details including the naming of the city at the urging of officials who warn revealing them would jeopardize important intelligence capabities, which suggests i'm not overstating this, looks like the "washington post" so common in these investigations when they got the information they went to the intelligence services and the cia or whoever said please don't report this and made in their judgment this is not something for national security to be reported. that suggests to me the fact the p

trish: final comment to ned. i have to run. >> this has been debated in the legislature. they passed it through four days ago. there's no surprises here. he just chose to sign it on facebook for whatever reason. we are not asking the police force to become another immigration force, we are asking them to ask very simple questions, do you have proof, are you here legally, very simple question. this is not rocket science. trish: i hear you. good to see both of you guys. ned and leslie, we are waiting, everyone, testimony from former acting attorney general sally yates about possible russian interference in the election, we are going to bring you that testimony just as soon as it happens, now you have to imagine democrats are ready to pound because it keeps the whole narrative going about the russian interference in the election or what president trump likes to call fake news. another big story we are following right now. the fallout from the french elections, riots breaking after e e emmanuel macron won presidency. we are heading to france next we asked people to write down

that's why we have discipline in our command and control system. >> ned, build on what jeremy said here. john kelly also saying today that any line of communication with russia is a good thing. >> well, look, they attempted to describe this as a back channel. in is an attempt by a private citizen to establish a covert communication system with the hostile power. look, back powers in and themselves are not a bad thing when they're administered by the administration. and the obama administration used back channels in the context of iran, in the context of the opening to cuba and other areas. but this is not a back channel in the way that they're conceived. this was as jeremy alluded to a covert attempt to establish a secret line of communications. -- with the russians. you asked yourself what could be the innocuous explanation be for that and i can't come up with. >> senators graham and corker saying hold on a second. these are -- these reports are no good, basically. josh, is this going to take a left and right thematic here as we move forward? >> richard, it probably will. i think that

i want to bring in ned price who worked with the cia and was deployed at the detailed, as they say, at the national security council. the pushback from the president and sean spicer and others in the white house has been that mike flynn was given a security clearance even after some of these allegations about his trip to russia by the obama administration. now, i just want to clear up what the facts of the matter are because i reported a couple weeks ago on nightly news as well as on msnbc that that security clearance is routinely upgraded or rather renewed, i should say, renewed in 2016 from the dia, the defense intelligence agency that he once led. that that is done on a fairly routine basis for senior former retired military officers. partly because dia wants to have him in the loop so that he doesn't have to go through a clearance if they want to ask him a question about a prior investigation. that said, he wasn't given his security clearance technically by the obama administration. it was a military process. and i have been told that he was vetted, maybe it wasn't a good vet. in f

as ned said, this has to be planned down to the second. and i just love that.any extraneous the spontaneity? >> i think the one thing that's for the trump advantage, the first stop, the saudis will love president trump. they are just like he is in some ways. he is transactional. he doesn't give a darn about values. he is not prone to nepotism as their own system there. so i think in some ways, they're kindred spirits. whether it is an arms deal or something else, the key will be how well the white house can execute this. >> in fairness, the relationship with saudi arabia is pretty important. i went to a briefing by the national security team and they talked about how eager our allies are to reboot and see america reengage. regardless of your partisanship, there are some people eager for a new working relationship with the united states of america. >> there's stuff that we're not seeing on the main stage. it is more complicated. i'm just chuckle at the advice of stick to the script. does anyone at this point think donald trump, for better or worse, whether you'r

price, thank you very much. >> thank you so much, ned.in context, because things move so quickly, and he is so reckless. this is a president that trashed the men and women of the cia, compared them to nazis. trashed the men and women of the fbi. humiliated their director. he found out while speaking to a group of fbi agents in l.a., and he's been at war with the intel community from his campaign forward. >> even as you speak, he's begun to tweet to go into who the leakers are in the intelligence community. it's not the fact he said something in that room, it's the fact he wants to know who's behind this inside the intel community. >> he's actually the leaker. he's the one that leaked this sensitive information to our number one enemy. >> stop watching tv and stop tweeting. >> one more question, if general mcmaster can get up before the press today, whoever's up before the press today, if you weren't worried about what was said in the room and sources and methods were not revealed, why was the white house furiously calling around to the ci

israeli intelligence is still investigating what sort of information was, indeed, given. >> and ned,you're sitting back at the cia or at the white house in the sit room as you used to, what would you have thought of this? if the president of the united states was being so free about classifi classified information with the russians? >> classified information including highly sensitive information, i unfortunately had a front row seat to some of the damage both in the bush administration and later in the obama administration, but what i think makes this case qualitatively different is the fact that this was not an example of loose lips on the part of a junior official, somewhere in the bowls of the bureaucracy, this was a disclosure to top russian officials on the part of the president of the united states. if you believe the "post" account, the president did this not out of strategy or some sort of calculation, he did this out of his own sense of bravado, his desire to show the russians i get the best briefings, i have the best intelligence, and if i am a foreign intelligence service

ned, don't look bored at the start! it is low—key? it might get even lower, you never know.ss often talks about a phoney war before an election campaign really starts. what is odd about this is it is kind of a phoney election. despite the prospectus, theresa may saying i need this mandate to strengthen my negotiation position with the eu, even she must know that it has nothing to do with the eu. even if she were to get putin sized majorities in this election, it would not change the basic structure of the negotiations that britain has to have with 27 other european countries. ithink... i would disagree a bit. i think if she gets a commanding majority, it does give her much more authority than if she squeaks by and has to deal with a minority parliament. i think she is looking for that mandate. she is also trying to squash dissent in her own party. the real mandate that she wants, this is true in a different way, for the anti—mandate that jeremy corbyn feels, it is about british politics. if she wins resoundingly, it is more a message to the borisjohnsons of this world. in a

ned, thank you so much for joining me today. >> good to be here. >> ned, as a former high ranking fbis your reaction today to reports in "the washington post" that the russia-trump investigation is focusing on a person of interest inside the white house? >> that's exactly, stephanie, why bob mueller was brought into this position, t tak this investigation wherever it could lead. you asked a few minutes ago what reat bob mueller presents to the trump administration. the fact of the matter is that bob mueller himself doesn't present a threat to the administration. the administration's own actions, both in the lead-up to the election and during the transition period are ultimately what bob mueller is going to be taking a close look at, together with others from the department of justice and the fbi, to determine if they broke laws, if they colluded, if there are any counterintelligence concerns, all of which he'll sift through as we try to figure out exactly what the role was of trump administration officials in russia's meddling. >> president trump has called this the biggest witch hunt

anyway, ned ryan, jennifer jacobs, jonathan capehart.let me finish tonight with the trump watch. time's up, insufficient we're on prenatal care.es. and administrative paperwork... your days of drowning people are numbered. same goes for you, dget overruns. and rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. we're coming for you, too. for those who won't rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. optum. how well gets done. termites, we're on the move.24/7. roger. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. termites never stop trying to get in, we never stop working to keep them out. terminix. defenders of home. there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah. i was thinking around 70. to and before that?re? you mean after that? no, i'm talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? i'd really like to run with the

i know, ned, you're shaking your head. you probably feel the republicans gave up more than they needed to. but, you know, isn't this the man who is the art of the deal? isn't he showing the world that he is willing to work with both sides here? >> well, again, it's the 2017 continuing resolution gets us through the end of september, there's five months, i like the fact that he got 21 billion for defense spending in, which includes, trish, the largest pay raise for the military in the last six years, so that's a positive. the 1.5 billion towards border security, great. we're disappointed, again, that he couldn't have put in a little bit more money to start the building of the wall. i do think he's serious about this, by the way, of building of the wall. we have to be realistic, again, 2018 budget will probably reflect that. it's going to be a big bill. probably 21.6 billion to fund that border wall. trish: i don't know. by the way, -- i'm just going to jump in, ned. you say you think he's serious. i think he's serious too,

ned, i'll start with you first on political will.correctness has created a quagmire that allows this stuff to fester. at some point in the west the united states and europe will have to find a way to deal with that. >> you can have the world's best technology, all the resources you want to combat extremism. but if you are in defiance of common sense, all that means nothing. if you look at immigration policy, tracking policy. 3,500 people they suspect. on top of that there are 400 people who fought for isis who are back inside the united kingdom. why are they living in the united kingdom, why aren't they ling with the ats in caves where theyhould be? if you are allowing hatred and violence to be preached on your soil, you are going to have to expel those ministers of hatred. you cannot allow these people to be isolated anymore. i'm hearing reports that the muslim community in manchester is virtually isolated from british society. my buddy is coming out with a book this summer on "no-go zones." and if you allow them to continue, you wi

ned evy daye ear rough e lens ofility. only in america can a poor kid from public housing have the privilege and honor to be the commencement speaker at the largest and most innovative university in the country. [applause] mr. schultz: i stand before you as living proof of the american dream. ,oining many of your parents professors, and generations of graduates before you. today, you may question the strength of that dream and promise of america. that is fair. my generation has not made it easy for you. our political leaders on both sides of the i/o have not acted with enough courage or honesty in addressing the long-term challenges we face. [applause] mr. schultz: they have been more focused on fighting with each than walking in the shoes of the american people. and vitriol and self interest rule the day in washington. despite that, when i look to the future, i am extremely optimistic, especially when i look out and see you. the future is not up to them, not up to washington, it is up to you. this milestone in your life m

there are so many movies where the isle of man — you know, it played ireland in waking ned, and me andall in stormbrea ker. it's nice to see the point being that they are on the isle of man. when it's funny, it's funny and the physical comedy works well. if you have that nostalgic thing you are talking about. looking at things like bergerac and the six million dollar man. those jokes will work. i thought it was funnier than i was expecting, it's inconsistent but it works when it works. it has a great supporting cast. andrea riseborough is great. the joke is funnier because she is playing it straight, reacting with a straight face. it entertained me even though it's uneven. 0k. they could not be more different from harmonium. this is a cannes prizewinner. it has a mysterious stranger who turns up on the door of a family — father, mother and young child. the father recognises him, gives him a job and food and lodging, and the wife says, "who's he? how do you know him?" he says he's an friend. it's evident he's an old friend from a part of the husband's past that the wife doesn't know abo

here to help with that is ned price.kesman and senior analyst for the cia as well as spokesman and senior dro director of the national security council under president obama. thanks for being here. >> thanks. >> if i wanted to state it back to you, i couldn't. it's this issue of sharing of information. "the washington post" is reporting that the president didn't share sources and methods. he didn't give away the location of one of our spies or something. he gave the russians intelligence from which they could probably discern the origin. >> right. >> and that violates a sharing agreement we had that got us access to that information in the first place. what -- how is that sharing arrangement work and why is this violated? >> that's how it work there is a core assumption that undergirds our intelligence relationships the world over. our information sharing relationships with friends, with allies, and frankly at times even with adversaries. we will share with you if you share with us with a reciprocal understanding that we

ned price, the subject of credibility. who is going to win a credibility firkts the president of the united states right now where it stands, or the former fbi director who admittedly did not make any friends on both sides of the aisle. >> he will have a statutory term unless he serves under a president who has no responsibility for those checks and balances. but i think the one thing people will agree on is that he is a man of. . when he rushed across a hospital room to make sure the bush administration did not do something he felt was unconstitutional. we've seen that again and again with jim comey, and i think it's something that even his detractors will attest to. when it comes to this very specific issue, this will be dits missed in court as court-admissible evidence. i think this president, work product from him, will certainly not be treated with the same regard but a same, contemporaneously out there would. >> is this just the first shoe to drop out there in washington? >> i don't think it's the first shoe. >> in t

here to help with that is ned price.spokesman and analyst for the cia and senior director at the national security council under president obama. mr. price, thank you. i can tell it's important, but if i try to restate it back to you is this issue about the sharing of information. the "washington post" is reporting that the president didn't share sources and methods. he didn't give away the location of one of our spies or something. he gave the russians intelligence from which they could probably discern the origin. and that violates a sharing agreement we had that got us access to that information. >> that's exactly right. there's a core assumption that relationships the world over, information sharing wripz friends, allies, and frankly at times even with adversaries. we will share with you if you share with us with a reciprocal understanding that we will safeguard each other's information. there is not to be onward package of that information without explicit consent off that country that gave us that information. pres

and i still think, you know, ned is right in what he said, but maureen le pen getting 35% of the vote is still something to worry about. >> especially when you look at the bigotry and anti-semitism that is under the history of the national front. and the fact that, you know, you had as many people pointed out, erin, the first time for france that you had the two nonmajor parties in the runoff. so while there might be a conservative benefit to the instirvegts, there is clearly an anti-establishment one. listen to le pen here directly invoking donald trump. >> translator: donaltrump has made possible what was completely impossible. so it's sign of hope for those who cannot bear wild globalization. they say the policies that you maureen le pen have isolate you. but i feel less isolated to day because of the multipolar world defended by donald trump and also way teresa may and have lat mere putin. i have a feeling it's mrs. merkel who should feel isolated. >> what do you make of the larger strategic argument there, one that many american conservatives, you know, really sympathize with, th
