a declaration of the meeting, the obama white house is running this thing. we don't know what that means except that you can interpret that the f.b.i. agents had fear that the obama white house would be involve would in the russian case. and that's the first word of that. >> sean: john, what you are saying here and if we look at the face of the strzok- page text. they are penening it on the obama white house. >> they certainly had that fear. >> sean: what is that? >> they had that fear at this moment it was about to be politically i highjacked. >> someone said the white house is now running this and that's what they said in the text message. >> sean: i guess to this particular point we go back to the problem. the department of the justice. rod rosenstein and others are obstructing and stone walling and separation of power and co-equal branches of government and a constitutional role for congress, which is oversight. and guess what, they are preventing them from doing their job. how devastating is it for them. >> an important person former head of intelligence

security who has a new book that goes on sale tomorrow called "the world as it is, a memoir of the obama white house." congratulations. it's a re well-written book. >> thank you. >> that was a central idea of the critique of the obama administration, particularly like the iran deal, you guys are running casinthe iran deal and you've alienated all of our friends. what do you make of where we are right now between the red carpet being rolled out for northea ile we're giving canada the meta finger? >> well, chris, it is kind of a whiplash on a daily basis because they would hurl that critique at us but barack obama's standing among our closest allies in europe and asia was higher than any president in recent memory. what they've done is profoundly alienate our allies, not just on an issue but to the point where i think in europe and asia they're beginning to fundamentally question their relationship with the united states. i mean, this is the actual crisis that they used to rail about happening before our eyes, and it's not just on one issue. it really could be a drift apart between the united states a

they fear it would be hi jacked by the cia or white house run by obama. >> sean: don't they say it is being run there? >> somebody said in a meeting that the white house is now running this. that's what they said in the text message. >> sean: so i guess at this particular point, we go back to the problem with the department of justice. rod rosenstein in particular and others, they have been obstructing and stone walling and we have sprapgz of powers and co-equal branches of government and guess what, they are preventing them from doing their job. and knowing what you know? >>>>> how devastating it is it for them. >> we have the former head of intelligence of the f.b.i. under robert mueller said what he has seen on his own, that congress has lejet mate serious questions to be answered by the justice department. people who are informants and college professor and ambassadors and opposition researchers for hillary clinton, were making their contacts with the trump administration long before the predicated investigation. the rules sap that. and there was targeting going on. and bob muelle

white house, that's incredible. liz: and staying on the iran deal. what the obama normalize a jihadi regime that hates america and is brutal and supports her. >> it's a warning. liz: with cash, trying to give cash. >> it's a warning with trump on kim, president obama wanted a deal on the first day at any price and paid almost any price. liz: is he going to get in trouble for this report? >> i don't know if he's going to get in trouble but i think it's going to make the trump policy easier to effect. it's going to be an honest policy. trump administration said there are going to be deals, put them before the senate, argue about them openly and honestly. liz: like you're seeing trump's deals in realtime. with obama it's the shadows and side deals. >> in democracy and free society, process is as important as outcome, and the obama administration ran over process whenever they felt they needed to. liz: pen and phone. stunning. you can come in and talk about this. this is a major report. love having you on. >> thanks, liz. liz: we are days away from the historic summit

dollars, you will not believe how else obama white house allegedly tried to help iran, it involves e enron. big news on trump economy there are more job openings and jobless workers to fill them, money and politics, we deliver debate behind tomorrow's headlines, the "evening edit" starts right no right now. liz: first, dow ending up 346. look at this, 25146. surging more than 300 as j.p. morgan and goldman sachs led banks higher. but first secretary of state pompeo with japanese foreign minister ahead of next week's historic summit with north korea. edward lawrence is in dc with details. reporter: we could add one more fact the japanese prime minister will meet with president trump tomorrow, today the foreign minister told secretary of state pompeo that japan does not want to be passed over when it comes to deals made in asia, japanese are concerned if u.s. makes a deal with north korea, china or anyone else in the region, they may be left out, today president trump touting how much work his secretary of state is doing in the region. >> secretary michael pompeo, we're keeping him ver

political contributor ben rhodes, the author of the new book "the world as it is, a memoir of the obama white house." >> and willie, he's got to be thrilled. how smooth we operate here. >> he dives right into the nbc family, we've taught him the secret hand shake. ben, just broadly, to ask about your reaction to the decision by president trump to pull out of the iran deal, something you helped orchestrate. in your view what are the implications of that? >> well, first of all, this is something that took seven years to put th. years of sanctions with our allies, years of negotiating these painstaking restrictions on the iranian nuclear program. now you'll see a gradual unraveling of the deal. it's likely iran may restart elements of its nuclear program and that will leave us between a choice of taking military action or acceding to a nuclear capable iran and that' the situation we're trying to avoid. the strangest thing is he's about to embark on this summit with kim jong-un where getting something that looked like the iran deal would be success and so he's essentially created a crisis around nuclea

the white house taking over the investigation and fears the justice department was going to leak and their own personal fear -- >> sean: slow down. when you say the white house, you mean the obama white house were attempting to take over the investigation? >> that's what the messages say. >> sean: these are fbi messages the obama white house. how high up are we talking about here? >> we don't know. the text messages are short and don't give a lot of detail but the words the white house is running this are clear in the text message and people can make up their own mind. here's another thing that's going to be interesting to people, you had in your monologue whether president obama was aggressive enough on russia. the fbi agent who opened the case feared obama was week on national security and wouldn't do what they needed for russia. you'll see the messages tomorrow and i think people will be able to see between those -- >> sean: are some strzok-page texts? >> some are. >> sean: and could it be a cascading flow of information when the i.g. report comes out. let me bring sarah into this part. >> 400 pages. >> sean: the i.g. will release it and followed up by good people in the fbi

the obama white house owns this. this is their activity. these crooked, dirty fbi agents and attorneys were coordinating their operations with the obama white house. lastly, there always startling admission by the character named as attorney number 2 where he says there are legal documents with his name all over it, he also used a foul expression. he says his name is all over legal documents investigating president trump's staff. that email text was written the day after the election. this is a stop the presses moment. you have got the president of the united states obama wrapped up in this investigation according to lisa page and you have an fbi attorney talking about how he was investigating the president's staff the day after the election. lou: incredibly, the reason chris farrell was referring to the agent number 2 is because he isn't -- his name is not revealed in that document. >> the american public deserves to know the name of every single one of these characters. lou: we have more reports to tomorrow now from the inspector general.

obama. i was 31 when i came to the white house. i was relatively anonymous. i was a blank slate. dviser to obama, personally close to him a few years in, i think they decided, well, we can turn this guy into whatever we want. because i had no established image. and so one manufacd scandal after another. they kind of created this cartoon of me. you know, first it was benghazi and leaks and then iran. you know, and i think it was my proximity tobama and i was seen as close to him. so it was a way of getting at obama without hitting him directly. and it was the fact they could invent whatever personal they wanted for me because i wasn't john kerry or hillary clinton. >> yeah. it's sort of useful to be a blank slate in those circumstances. ben rhodes, whose new book "the world as it is:some a memoir of the obama white house," goes on sale tomorrow, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, chris. >> that is "all in" for this evening. "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris, my friend. appreciated. thanks to you at home for join ugh us at it hour

slow down when you say the white house, you mean the obama white house? >> yes. >> hannity: they were over theg to take investigation? >> that'sin what these messages say. >> hannity: these are f.b.i. messages? >> yep. >> hannity: we're talking about t the obama white house? how far up do we know here? >> the messages are what they are. they'redo shortot on what you'd normally see in a text message. the words "the white house is running this" are clear in the text message. people ought to be able to make up their own minds. you just hadng it in your monologue a little bit about whether president obama was aggressive enough on russia. the f.b.i. agents who opened this case feared that barack obama o was weak on national security f and wouldn't do what they needed for russia. you're going to see those messages tomorrow. people will be able to see those -- between those -- >> hannity: stretch page text? >> some are stretch page text. some are other documents. >> hannity: cascading flow of information? when the ig report comes out -- let me bring sarah into th

management, including former attorney general lynch, or commit occasions between doj and the obama white house. this is unacceptable. particularly because we requested all documents provided other than once pertaining to grand jury material. the doj and fbi are not mentioned in the u.s. constitution. the president and congress are. institutions like the fbi and congress.to this is not negotiable. we must assure the people -- the agencies under our jurisdiction operate. damage to the fbi idea j reputation is not something any of us desire, but now that both agencies have been on the front pages for so long, we must all work to ensure those stories are able to focus once again on the great men and women performing her own jobs to protect our country. i expect to hear today have the fbi and doj will hold people accountable. i look forward to hearing from rosenstein and director ray. nadler? >> the events that led up to this hearing are unacceptable. tuesday, our committee meeting started when our lake, without notice to the minority. you allowed mr. jordan to offer an amendment that was not germa

obama. the white house released a statement that read in part, quote, mr. da souza was in the president's opinion a victim of selective prosecution for violations of campaign finance laws. former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york preet bharara, who oversaw da souza's case, wrote this on twitter today, quote, the president has the right to pardon, but the facts are these. da souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct, and the judge found no unfairness. the career prosecutors and agents did their job, period. da souza wrote back on twitter, quote, bharara and his goons

we are back with ben rhodes, author of "the world as it is" a memoir of the obama white house. have you back with us, ben. let me play a sound bite. >> crimea was let go during the obama administration, and, you know, obama can say all he wants, but he allowed russia to take crimea. i may have had a much different attitude, so you would really have to ask that question of president obama, you know, why did he do that. >> we don't have prime minister prime minister, but we have the next best thing. in the words of president trump, did the obama administration allow russia to take crimea? >> no. i make two points. was donald trump prepared to go to war to prevent that? that was the only thing that you possibly could have done to physically prevent russia from doing that. we kicked them out of the g8, put sanctions on them. unless you're suggesting we should have cowsed world war iii and gone -- secondly he blames barack obama and not vladimir putin for the annex ace. wednesday again, why is it he cannot say a critical word about vladimir putin he blames bob mueller for having a w

in president lucky, case, i was very because we used to say that president obama was the best speechwriter in the white houseand it was unquestionably true. was a writer obama before he was a politician, and i do not think that has happened maybe since lincoln, where somebody was a published writer in that way, and so, i think that we were lucky that we were working for a president who had an understanding of language as a writer but then also when understanding of using it as a means rather than an end, which is more of what a politician is thinking about. so i think for us -- i would say there was kind of -- i don't know that it was intentional, but i think it was important. there is always the requirements, one is that it be and one is that it be surprising and original in some way and the other is that it be true to the person delivering the words, and to some extent, that is always, perhaps, easiest when it is in contrast to the person who came before you. so i think to some extent, , people were -- and i know i was -- so excited about president obama, because he al style this oratori that seemed antith

he spent eight years inside the obama white house.ing president trump reverse many of obama's policies. how does ben rhodes feel today? he's here to tell us, next. with best in-class towing 2018 ford f-150. best in-class payload and best in-class torque the f-150 lineup has the capability to get big things to big places --bigtime. and things just got bigger. f-150 is now motor trend's 2018 truck of the year. this is the new 2018 ford f-150. it doesn't just raise the bar, pal. it is the bar. booking a flight doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline. it's the best place to book a flight a few days before my trip and still save up to 40%. just tap and go... for the best savings on flights, go to priceline. >>> spent years as a key member of president obama's administration. ben rhodes met candidate obama in 2011, stayed with him until 2016. when the results were announced, cameras were following him and saw his stunned reaction. >> i can't even -- i can't -- i mean, i -- i can't -- i can't put it into words. i don't know what t

former attorney general lynch or even communications between doj officials and those with the obama white house. this is unacceptable. particularly by requesting the subpoena to the inspector general other than certain ones pertaining to grand jury material. the department of justice and the fbi are not mentioned in the united states constitution. the president and congress are. our constitutional oversight necessitates that institutions like the fbi and doj yield to congress constitutional mandate. this is non-negotiable. because we must assure the american people that the agencies under our jurisdiction operate fairly, treating all equally under the law. this hearing emphasizes the importance of transparency in helping to regain both the perception and reality of impartiality of our law enforcement system. damage to the fbi and doj's representations is not something any of us desire. but now that both agencies have been on the front pages for so long, we must all work to ensure those stories are able to focus once again on the great men and women performing admirable and often heroic jobs to

and author of the book "the world as it is, a memoir of the obama white house." and correspondent mark lander with me here in singapore. mark, let me go to you first, because it's been such an extraordinary 24 hours here. the president arrives, he's talking about how well this is going to go. he then is secluded for the rest of the day with advisers. we hear from secretary pompeo. we were at the briefing. you got to ask a question of the secretary. they're projecting such positive vibes towards kim jong-un, and nobody is correcting what peter navaro, what the president himself has been tweeting today and what they've been saying about canada's prime minister. >> it's really a bizarre spectacle here. you've got the president and secret state projecting just incredible optimism about what's going to happen here tomorrow, and brushing aside as though it's almost irrelevant, an absolutely unprecedented blowup between two close allies. mike pompeo saying it's anner ta -- an irritant that comes up and will be settled quickly. but at the same time, they're probably tran

ben roe rhodes, he is out with a new book it is called "the world as it is, a memoir of the obama white housedes joins us. thanks for being here. congratulations on the book. you write european leaders in the of president trump's election woring about a decline in u.s.-europe relations and talk about angela merkel a. how do you anticipate this summit will play out, the g-7. >> i think trump will find himself isolated and that is bad for the united states and for american workers. and i wrote in the book xi jinping when he warned him there might be trade actions from trump and xi said if an immature world throws the world into chaos, he would know who to blame havthe high ground on the united states and i fear our allies will turn to china foz a trading partner instead of us. >> to play devil's advocate, is it not true that for the last 20 years, 30 years, there has been consensus in washington on trade deals that has been better for corporate america and wall street than it has been for the middle class in this country. which has shrunk significantly. isn't president trump right at least abou

the obama white house did not criminally prosecute. there's a difference here. here is homeland secretary nielsen just moments ago let's take a listen to what she said. >> dhs is not separating families legitimately seeking asylum at ports of entry. if an adult enters at a port of entry and claims asylum they will not face prosecutions for illegal entry. they have not committed a crime by coming to the port of entry. as i mentioned dhs does have responsibility to protect minors and in that case as well we will only separate the family if we cannot determine there is a familial relationship, if the child may be at risk with a parent or legal guardian or if the parent or legal guardian is referred for prosecution. liz: okay in the past it was ultimately the families would be deported and not jailed, so the white house has chosen to criminally prosecute causing triggering the separation of the parent with a child and that's a thing, sorry secretary nielsen just said we will not separate at the port of entry if you are seeking asylum. that's the point she's trying t

though the obama white house never separated families in a criminal process, we have this finding, look at this. immigration lawyer andrew free, he claims he got a stunning eye opening reaction from president obama on a line back in 2015 when he warmed president obama that crying children at the border could be a stain on his legacy. here is the lawyer's tweet. in 2015 i shook president obama 's hand, thanked him for daca, asked him reverse course and close the for profit baby jails known as family detention centers. those were opened in texas. what he said shook me to my core according to this lawyer, obama asked him if he was an immigration lawyer and he tweet ed "so when i said yes the president looked back and said i'll tell you what we can't have it's these parents sending their kids here on a dangerous journey and putting their lives at risk ." joining me now american conservative union chair and former bush 43 political director we welcome to the show, matt schlapp. we love having you on matt. >> great to be with you liz. liz: matt the democrats were tough on the border before. y

your book i want to talk about, you write, racism was a constant presence and absence in the obama white houseut it. it was there like white noise. when was there when a reality star built the idea on the idea obama wasn't born in the united states, and is still believed by a majority of republicans. what point were you trying to make with this? >> well, people would often ask me, you know, what did president obama really think about race. and the point i was making there is that he took it as a given that some of the opposition was rooted in racism. that's what i mean by we didn't always have to talk about it. we would practice for press conferences with you, chuck. you might be asked if someone in opposition was race. next question, kind of chuckle. something more serious was underlying that. i think he internalized kind of a jackie robinson ethos. i accept this. there's going to be an element of race and some of the opposition i face. but i'm going to try to perform the duties of the office with as much integrity as i can. >> it seems you're implying here, i remember asking him this questio

joins us in studio 57 to tell us about his new memoir that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the obama white housend we talk with kenny leon, the tony award-winning director behind such critically claimed broadway plays like "children of a lesser god." that's the "cbs morning news" for this monday. i'm hena doba. have a great day. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> live from the cbs bay area studios. this is kpix 5 news. >>> good morning, everyone. it is monday, june 4. we're taking a lovely look at the city of san francisco. this is high above the salesforce tower. the exclusive kpix tower cam. >> the city is awakened it is 4:30. so are we . i am michelle griego. kenny choi is the day off. >> tomorrow is election day already. >> we been talking about it for very long time. >> it is among us. >> today's a start to the work week. i hope everyone had a great weekend. we're noticing temperatures being cooler. temperatures will be a little cooler because of the west wind. the onshore breeze started pick up yesterday afternoon and it will stick around today through the end of the week. that is w

outside, well wishers like susan tevis holding a letter from the obama white house. when he was president, i used to call him every day and leave a message and tell him what a good job he was and how proud i was of him. i still am. i'm hoping to see a little glimpse of him today maybe. >> reporter: a glimpse is all people got today. unless you were willing to write a big check. the price of admission started at $10,000. >> it's a rare moment to see someone a part of history. you don't get those moments too often. i thought i would show up and see what happens, try to get a photo and autograph. >> reporter: if you were inside and willing to part with a donation of $230,000, you got a photo with the president, a chance to shake his hand and an invitation to an event in napa county. scott budman, nbc bay area news. >>> new money infused into the fight over martins beach. the new law that could force a billionaire to sell the public path to the beach he closed. >>> long lines at the airport. the reason today is one of the busiest travel days of the year. >>> we arechrhat

reporter: all it took to upend roseanne barr's career was this single racist tweet about the former obama white house adviser valerie jarrett. it read in part, "muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby equals vj." within hours her hit abc show "roseanne" was canceled and she found herself at the center of a major uproar. >> i horribly regret it. are you kidding? i've lost everything. and i said to god, i am willing to accept whatever consequences this brings because i know i've done wrong. >> reporter: in her first interview since sending that controversial tweet roseanne barr speaks openly with her friend the rabbi shmuley boteach. >> you understand why this caused a lot of pain? >> yes. i do. you know, it just makes me sick. that i did it and that it was taken that way. >> does any part of you think this is the beginning of some sort of pr campaign to come back? >> i can assure you that from my perspective, my interactions with her, it has not been that at all. >> reporter: this latest twist in the long public career of roseanne barr is a parable about the dee divides facing america, an

which they'd never been allowed to previously you claim in the book that high up contacts in obama's white house have told you that he is wanted by the pentagon oh there's no doubt about that i mean there's doubt in downing street we never hear that from downing that we hear it from the white house i mean donald trump to give us a trump in two thousand and sixteen said i love the leaks when it was exposing the crookery in the democratic party but now his cia director is arresting this is a priority now sanjay jeff has an outsider's view of state and does jeff sessions he's attorney general it's a priority and we know they've got a grand jury is sitting. the charges add up to forty five b. is the same as the charges were brought against chelsea manning they're planning to a new legal theory i've been the first amendment is the core a protector of journalists in america you know what they're doing they're going to argue that it doesn't apply to foreign journalists it only applies to journalist born in america protected so they won't prosecute the new york times they're prosecuted co-publisher juli

think this how long it took for obama white house and president obama to give away $150 billion to assure a nuclear gift at the end of a 10 year waiting period. that is extraordinary to watch what happening here in the condensed amount of time, under this president. >> secretary kerry gave up leverage almost first negotiating meeting. you know he wanted to have on table, behavior, they said we're not coming, we should have said, we'll see you next year. president has real leverage here. kim jong-unment really wants the summit. i think that is what is in letter. he needs this summit more than united states and president. we have leverage, we should push that leverage even if it means to delay the summit to get concessions we need. lou: is there doubt in your mind that is what president trump is doing? because you say that, kim jong-un needs this. he has a smoldering hole in a mountain, that was a nuclear test site that has chinese scared to death. may not have north koreans scared to death, they live with their mortality every day in that dictatorship. but that is a very big deal to the ch

he served for four year's president obama's white house coordinator for arms control and weapons of massrjoining us. you know the details in terms of how difficult it has been to hold a conversation about the denuclearisation of a regime like north korea. are you feeling optimistic that today will bring about the change that the americans are hoping for? i do think so. i imagine that the summit will issue a very general statement of both sides commitment to. —— i don't think so. to denuclearisation, peace, prosperity and normalisation of relations between the us and north korea. but the onto that, it will be the subsequent negotiations to settle incredible details, including the timetable, what kind of reciprocity, phasers, verification. soi reciprocity, phasers, verification. so i don't the summit is really going to resolve any of those critical issues, that will be very tough and protracted negotiations. we should salivate the start of the process but i think it is far too soon on the agreement to end the nuclear missile programme. —— celebrate. is this then, for you, merely about a pr

white house. judge jeanine: the obama white house. >> exactly. we have to get to the bottom of it. judge jeanine: that's where i'm going in two minutes. so rod rosenstein, the guy who appoint mueller who is a friend of comey to investigate the president of the united states, because rosenstein convinced the whole thing if you throw a movie on this, no one would believe it. he says the house committee on intelligence that's constitution alley obligated to have oversight on the department of justice is committing ex d extortion. that's a quote. what say you? >> it can't be extortion when it's your constitutional duty. we have an obligation as a separate and equal branch of government to get information for the american people. when trey gowdy said the fbi behaved the way american citizens would want them behave. really? was andy mccabe behaving appropriately when he lied three times under oath. and when they took the dossier to the court and didn't tell the court who paid for it. judge jeanine: when are you going to do something? what we need is mcconnell and paul ryan to get their b

management, including former attorney general lynch, or commit occasions between doj and the obama white house. this is unacceptable. particularly because we requested all documents provided other than once pertaining to grand jury material. the doj and fbi are not mentioned in the u.s. constitution. the president and congress are. institutions like the fbi and congress.to this is not negotiable. we must assure the people -- the agencies under our jurisdiction operate. damage to the fbi idea j reputation is not something any of us desire, but now that both agencies have been on the front pages for so long, we must all work to ensure those stories are able to focus once again on the great men and women performing her own jobs to protect our country. i expect to hear today have the fbi and doj will hold people accountable. i look forward to hearing from rosenstein and director ray. nadler? >> the events that led up to this hearing are unacceptable. tuesday, our committee meeting started when our lake, without notice to the minority. you allowed mr. jordan to offer an amendment that was not germa

who inside the white house maybe having directed certain elements. i think barack obama, president chief of staff, mcdonough and other senior staffers at the white house and what their interaction was with mccabe, with comey and others in the months leading up to the election. >> julie: comey. there's a name i want to talk about. horowitz looked into whether it was improper for james comey to make a public announcement about not recommending prosecution over the clinton e-mail arrangement as you know. how might james comey be implicated in this? >> i think it's going to refresh the american people's recollection about why president trump was right to fire him. that is one of the elements that will come from this -- >> julie: president trump just tweeted yesterday, when is everybody going to thank me for firing james comey? >> on flag day. i think flag day, one of the things going to be most talked about is what james comey was doing and wasn't doing. whether it's giving immunity deals to sheryl mills and heather samuelson in return for nothing. we have to remember, clint

think how long it took the obama white house to give away $150 billion and the nuclear gift in the end of the ten year waiting period. it is extraordinary to watch what is happening in a condensed amount of time under the president. >> secretary kerry, gave up the leverage the first negotiating meme. he wanted to have iran's behavior. and they said we are not coming. and we should have said we will see you next year. but kim jong-un strulymentes the summit. first and foremost, and probably other things in it. and in it fthey need. he needs it more than the united states does. we have leverage. and even if it means delaying the summet to get the communication. >> is there any doubt in your mind what president trump is doing? up say na that kim jong-un needs in. he has a smouldering hole in the mountain that has the chinese scared to attempting you may not have the north koreas scared to daepth. they live with their mortality. but that is a very big deal. chin chen and what is their view and what they expect to gain and how will the enter of the united states and south korea and ally and
