suppose it's the nature of the beast nikki haley's always of making accusations and complaining perhaps it's just the nature of the council but the russian ambassador the benzine said the u.s. seems to be confusing the u.n. security council with the u.s. is only national security council he was joking but does he have a point there does the u.s. treat the u.n. security council like its own. of course it does i mean i think it's actually been quite soft and nice and polite in ironical and joking and sarcastic he could be even more forthright i mean whenever the united nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when the security council wouldn't go along or it created a coalition of the willing to invade and destroy iraq in two thousand and three it only supports the united nations when the united nations signs off and americans american wars of aggression when the u.n. says independently no we don't want that the united states is a fierce critic of the other parties in the united nations and it just

turns out the nikki haley had nothing to do with it.urtains were bought by the obama administration. unbelievable smear and mischaracterization, dana. and they corrected it, to be fair. >> they corrected it within the same day, so they didn't even wait until tomorrow, although i hope it will be in the papers tomorrow. >> they got hammered all day for this and when they do the correction in the paper it'll be really small right down in the corner. >> thankfully for social media it made it around and it got its own segment on "the five" in the middle of hurricane coverage. i don't like to complain about media bias all the time i think it's a weak thing, but conservatives can make arguments that win on the merits, but the media will often do subtle digs and constant digs with headlines, photographs, and captions. especially you will see pictures, for example, president obama has never taken a bad picture. you've never seen a bad picture of president obama. you can find many bad pictures of republicans. >> i think obama's picture with the h

"the new york times" walking back a story slamming u.n. ambassador nikki haley. the editors saying they unfairly blamed her for blowing big bucks for curtains on her new york apartment when they were actually ordered during the obama administration. the paper originally reported that the state department spent nearly $53,000 on customize and mechanized curtains for an apartment across from u.n. headquarters where ambassador haley lived. the paper saying in part "the decision on leasing the ambassador's residence and purchasing the curtains was made during the obama administration. according to current and former officials." they should not have focused on his haley nor should have picture of her and used. i read this artic

nikki haley said iranian president hassan rouhani had "oppressed his people for a long time". responding to mr rouhani's fierce criticism of the us, in which he blamed washington for enabling the attack. the victims of saturday's violence included 12 members of the revolutionary guards. it was one of the worst attacks ever against the elite force. president rouhani remarks came as he left tehran for new york to attend the un general assembly. translation: the victims fell as innocent martyrs. undoubtedly the islamic republic of iran does not overlook this crime. it's clear to us which group the attackers belonged to and to where they are linked. the small puppet countries we see in the region are backed by america and the us is provoking them and giving them the necessary capabilities to commit these crimes. let's talk more about that un leaders gathering in new york this week with our us correspondent chris buckler. tellers about the reaction of the trump administration to what iran is saying about the attack. washington points out president rouhani hasn't offered any proof a

to the united nations nikki haley laid out a clear agenda for reform. but despite reported and repeated warnings. no action at all was taken so the united states took the only responsible course we withdrew from the human rights council. and we will not return until real reform is an act. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. planes near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country violating all principles of justice fairness and due process we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected unaccountable global bureaucracy. america is governed by americans we reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty not just from global governance but also from other new forms of coercion and domination in america we believe strongly in energy secured. f

and nikki haley has been walking this fine line of working within the u.n.of distancing herself from trump at a fairly regular basis. many people think because she has political ambitions. mike pompeo at state has also had to distance himself from trump. jim mattis at defense has also had to distance himself from trump. it's a pattern. the president is seeing even within the white house as extreme. >> he's about to address the luncheon. let's listen in. >> a great honor and mr. secretary-general. i'd like to commend you on the job you're doing. i've long said the united nations has such tremendous potential. all of these great world leaders. people we all know and read about on a weekly basis, sometimes a daily basis. the yuunited nations has an incredible potential to bring people together. truly a direct -- has a direct relationship to the time i spent at the united nations meeting some of you. many of you are now friends. when i first came here, even though lived in new york, it was a little bit of a foreign territory to me, the united nations. but now it

eye this was a systemic plan by the russians to thwart the sanctions let's listen to ambassador nikki haley why after voting for sanctions for eleven different times is russia now backing away from we know the answer it's because russia has been cheating. and now they've been caught. despite its repeated support for u.n. sanctions russia is actively working to undermine the enforcement of the security council sanctions on north korea certainly trying to use the opportunity of their presidency and as you say trying to make some of these issues and disagreements very public this is notable though we have a lot of disagreements in the security council between the u.s. and russia on issues but never before on north korea north korea is an issue that has have unity in the past that's why they've been able to get through the very very tough sanctions on north korea that unity in the last couple of hours has completely broken down. of the lead on it is that i want to come back the search for survivors in the philippines up to five hundred one hundred trainers landslide . the camp david accords tur

we heard from mike pompeo and nikki haley. meetings with a lot of people and never heard any talk about anybody trying to use the 25th amendment to get rid of the president. mike pompeo even going so far as to say never heard anybody talk about it or discussion about it or anybody even joke about it. there is word out there that rod rosenstein sarcastically said you want me to wear a wire? we're not sure exactly what happened here. we have a report he was trying to get people to support him in a 25th amendment removal of the president and we have rod rosenstein categorically denying all of this. the only thing we know at the moment is he is at the white house for a very high-level meeting and staff at the white house is working on something regarding this meeting that we are going to hear soon. as to exactly what's going on, sandra, we don't know. it could be when you look at the language that rosenstein used when he was going over white house expecting to be fired, that maybe he was trying to get ahead of the story saying i'm

and nikki haley has a future or at least wants to have a future in republican politics.nikki haley would never take the chance of destroying her career in republican politics by being exposed as this author eventually will be as the betray your of donald trump inside the trump administration at the highest level. that brings our guessing game down to secretary of state and the director of national intelligence. the op ed piece has a heavy emphasis on foreign policy. take foreign policy in public and in private, president trump shows a preference for awe ctdi. the rest of the administration is operating on another track, one where countries like russia are called out for meddling and punished accordingly and where allies around the world are engaged as peers, rather than riddled as rooiivals. both have said that russians directed by vladimir putin did indeed attack our election. dan coats and mike pompeo are doing what is described in that piece, calling out russia. the piece says the president, quote, expressed frustration that the united states continued to impose sanct

representative nikki haley after she spoke and made all kinds of allegations against russia we heard a response from the representative of the russian federation now he proceeded to desex these allegations and claims and before he did that he pointed out that it was interesting that a meeting about north korea seemed to be turning into a meeting about russia this is the representative of the russian federation. regarding the time which allegedly violated sanctions the expert group has concluded that it did not complete the claim that we deleted posts of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims food in line with the policy of maximum pressure on pyongyang the us is trying to take control of the un security council i have a feeling sometimes that the u.s. confuses the un security council with its own u.s. national security council. now the russian ambassador also criticized the united states for blocking railway connections between north and south korea saying that intercalary a dialogue should be encouraged as they move ahead to try and re

the un ambassador nikki haley and security adviser. asked nikki haley and mike pompeo whether or not in the early days of the administration during any time in the administration, were they ever aware of any conversations involving the 25th amendment and both high level officials in the administration said not only had they never heard of these types of conversations going on, but they felt those conversations if they had ever taken place or the notion they would were absurd and ridiculous. even if rod rosenstein thought it would be a good idea to invoke the 25th amendment and take it from nikki haley and mike pompeo, they had never been interested and being a part of any scheme to invoke the 25th amendment and have the president removed from office. >> lots of uncertainty with the president. thank you very much. obviously a great deal to discuss. let's bring in the former department of justice prosecutor and cnn legal analyst laura coats and dana bash and gloria borger. rosenstein's fate is up in the air. >> i don't think this is a ma

strong language in the security council yes from nikki haley also from the russian side to the russians were the ones who called this meeting warning that they could be a chemical attack in it live and warning that that would be a pretext for military action by the west they said the chemical attack if there was one wouldn't be carried out by the syrian government the haley of course said that that was just distortion and diversion let's not waste time with the december mation distractions and outright lives that the assad regime and their russian and iranian partners constantly use to distort this conversation let's talk about the facts on the ground in syria this month already the world has seen a clear military escalation in in live russian and assad regime air forces launched over one hundred airstrikes they are using barrel bombs rockets and artillery they are targeting hospitals and medical facilities the turkish ambassador spoke at the end of this meeting and said there needed to be an immediate cease fire that was the best plan to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe and i can tell

the us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, has dismissed claims by the iranian president,ay, on a military parade in the city of ahvaz. 25 people, including 12 revolutionary guards, were killed in one of the worst attacks against the elite force. hassan rouhani said the us and its allies in the gulf had supported the attack. ms haley said the fault lay solely with the iranian authorities. well, a short time ago, our washington correspondent, chris buckler, told me that there seems no end in sight to the diplomatic finger—pointing in this row. yeah, i think at the moment we've got washington and tehran blaming each other, essentially president rouhani claiming without any evidence it must be said, or certainly not displaying any evidence, that the us—backed allies in the gulf were responsible for enabling this attack, i think was the word he specifically used, and specifically the us ambassador to the un, nikki haley, responding by saying that as far as they are concerned iran also needs to look at how it oppresses its people and they might find some idea of how this attack

so nikki haley is looking after the best interest of europe i guess. that's what she's trying to mean . ego and pride i think again those two words are misplaced on the wrong people in the wrong country is it shows how much the united states particularly in the trumpet ministration in its in its foreign policy is out of step with the world i mean this they're trying to develop a special purpose vehicle that will be include the european union russia and china this is all at the expense of the u.s. dollar that is really the key to good american global dominance without the dollar it's a different game go ahead rosemary in new york. well peter in the long term that's going to be the case in the long term this eight hundred on financial result that is controlled by space is not going to be in place it's going to be replaced with other financial mechanism but let's talk about the short term first of all i think about that are we and others in the white house in particular trump administration or furious over. what the europeans are doing they thought by eve

so what do you think about nikki haley and what she wrote in "the washington post"? >> thank you, fredricka, for your question. let me first say the senior white house official has confirmed what books and articles have shown about the trump presidency, which is that donald trump is unfit for office. but i agree with nikki haley that the way the white house official is going about it is wrong. you cannot in a democracy as a staff member not carry out orders of the president of the united states. that's not how it works. what this white house official should do is try to change the president's mind. if the president doesn't change, he or she should come out and resign. >> does that set the fuel of the fire to the president who says the attorney general, jeff sessions, needs to step in and investigate who penned the "new york times" op-ed? >> well, two wrongs don't make a right. it would be wrong for the president to get department of justice involved because there's actually no crime that the senior white house official has done. what the senior white house official s

so it's pretty funny that the only person who wrote a named op-ed is nikki haley. it's kind of a -- i don't know, mind games that she's playing with us. >> yes. and so josh, you know, this does have the white house kind of thrown into disarray. everyone trying to figure it out. the president is only starting a new problem by saying i'm going to sick the u.s. attorney general on this task. when there doesn't seem -- everyone has collectively said, meaning legal analysts, there is no crime here, and you can't really use the doj or the attorney general, you know, for your own personal gain, which is what the president would be doing. >> yes, no. it's ridiculous and horrendous thing to suggest, first of all, there's no crime. second of all, you know, he's free to start a leak investigation if he wants to do that. they do that all the time. i've been doing this for a long time. there's plenty of leak investigations that have been started after i wrote something based open d on anonymous sourc. they never found the guy, ever, okay. it doesn't work. "the new york times" i

nikki haley had. tells the president to his face and proud to serve this administration. what are your thoughts about that? is that something that gets approved by the white house? were you guys okay with that? >> ambassador haley made a few meant that i know to be true every single day. she is absolutely right when she says this is a president who welcomes. he accepts not expects. dissenting points of view. he has people talking about trade and trafers differing sides of the trade spectrum. he has folks who have differing opinions on the second amendment, on abortion, on the border adjustability tax. whether to do the corporate tax cut from 35% to 15 to 21. he is somebody who takes the counsel of many different advisors and then weighs the different consequences and options. and knows exactly that he is the only one he and mike pence in this building, the only two people elected to anything. he makes the ultimate decision here. that's what leadership does. leadership doesn't shut the door and just sit there, toss a coin in the air or say this is what i promised on the ca

i personally think he must be talking about nikki haley, and the trail of crumbs is the factfact nikkihe washington post" saying it wasn't me. he's being very disingenuous trying to claim his lawyer told him not to. i mean, my guess is he must have some kind of grudge against nikki haley and is using this. but again, that's what happens when you have these sorts of stories. everybody plays the parlor game, to use the words he did, and using their own motivations to try to turn the narrative in the way that they would like. that would make them look good. >> in terms of the narrative, what's fascinating is the media blitz we were seeing from the white house is not focused on refuting the claims in the letter. in fact, here's what kellyanne conway told jake tapper earlier today. >> what really was the motivation? if the motivation is what they state it is in that ridiculous op-ed, they failed miserably. they missed the mark completely. i think the motivation was to sow discord and create chaos. i refuse to be a part of that. >> discord and chaos. i mean, let's be honest, these are words

the story shouldn't be focused on nikki haley.aybe focus on the state department that purchased these expensive curtains. they rewrote the story to take her out of it. took her picture out. tweeted out a editor's note. they did correct it at the end of the day but the problem is the story had already been out there by then. it was spread around social media. >> no way to pull it back at that point. another example, a local fox station in dallas drew instant backlash for tweeting this terrible tweet about that 26-year-old youth pastor who was shot in his own apartment by a police officer. the tweet says there was a search warrant, marijuana found in the apartment. and the internet basically reacted by saying, okay, why does that matter? why the heck is that being tweeted by this fox station? you also looked into this story and reported on this. how did the fox station handle this? >> they didn't -- it was opposite at the time. the times came out and corrected it, explained their error. the fox station didn't really do anything. the

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley is here. hello, i'm jake tapper in washington where the state of the union is on the edge of our seats after days of intense negotiations, senate joush judi republicans and brett kavanaugh's accuser, christine blasey-ford have reached an agreement for this thursday. her attorneys say she will share her firsthand account of what happened in the 1980s when she says nominee brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. he categorically denies the negotiation. a fourth person said to be at the party deny necessary knowledge of the party or the incident. a friend of the accuser, professor ford, echoes the other three attendees, including kavanaugh, who say they have no knowledge of the incident or even of the party. on friday, president trump pivoted away from relative restraint and began attacking ford, asking why she didn't report at the time, prompting an uproar on social media and a phone call from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, telling the president that his comments were not helpful. if th

nikki haley is a normal public leader. she's applying a metric that doesn't apply here. donald trump is not normal, he's not up to the duties that he's assumed, and i think this writer is doing what he or she can do to alert us to the reality at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> all right. gentlemen, we appreciate you taking time for us today. thank you. >>> president trump's former fixer says he wants his money back. michael cohen says he wants to tear up the nondisclosure agreement he reached with stormy daniels, in the months before the 2016 election. revoking the agreement would require daniels to payback the $130,000 she received to stay silent about an alleged affair with then candidate donald trump. joining me to talk about this, legal analyst, former federal prosecutor shan wu. is it as simple as we tear it up, you return the money, we're good? >> definitely not, victor, although it is possible cohen could use that money to pay his mounting legal bills, i don't think that's the legal strategy at work here. this is part of a pattern that he is doing trying to drop some
