shannon pettypiece, philip rucker and eli stokals, "wall street journal" white house reporter. peter, let me start with you. only two fish that don't stink as i understand mr. scaramucci but i want to ask you about the airing of all this internal chaos. i know the president is a reality tv guy. but do you think this was sort of a play that he called? >> well, here's the bottom line. the president several months ago said this administration is working like a fine-tuned machine and if it is this is a bizarre looking machine. the latest -- this power play, you know, by anthony scaramucci effectively it appears increasingly like he's been outsourced the responsibility of dismissing the chief of staff, reince priebus, even as i asked sarah huckabee sanders whether he's an officially an employee yet at the white house yet. he didn't take the oath of office yet and he's been standing side by side in recent days. the bottom line is that the white house in the words of sarah huckabee sanders insists that the president likes this kind of competition and they say he's not like past admini

"washington post" white house bureau chief who has been writing feverishly over the last week, philip rucker. hallie, what do you make of president trump's i would say rather tame comments? >> well, let's at least say consistent, right? because this is what the president has said publicly at least for the last 24 hours or so. not just in interview with reuter but at air force one overnight. the president held an off the record 60 minute conversation with the small team of reporters, the pool they call it who travel with him. those -- some of those comments have been put on the record and it's very similar to what we heard from the president publicly and on camera today. consistently i would say. again, he seems to be saying the meeting happened. nobody disputes the meeting happened, because he has to, because donald trump jr. tweeted out the evidence that it occurred but also because nothing came of it. because there was no dirt on hillary clinton, it was just politics as usual. let's just do a quick fact check on that. political operatives on both sides of the aisle we have spoken to said t

her latest with philip rucker. category 5 hurricane, white house under siege by trump junior's russia revelations. and vivian salama white house reporter for the "associated press" is looking ahead tonight her headline is about the president's next overseas trip which we should remember begins tomorrow. trump storms paris for bastille day. welcome to all of you. peter baker, this was a story your paper broke. i'll ask you first, house big a story was this today in the whole scope of the russia collusion story we've been covering? >> well, i think it is a big story because it does sort of undercut the defense that there was no collusion, not only at a very minimum we learned from these e-mails there was a willingness if not even an eagerness on the part of the president's son to receive information that he was told anyway would be incriminating and directly from what was described as a russian government lawyer on behalf of the russian government that was supporting his father. one of the things that's interesting a

tonight that was indeed philip rucker, white house bureau chief for "the washington post."berly, welcome back. let's talk about this. when john mccain says over the weekend, the deal is dead. when all the networks are running the graphic of the known republican senators known to be opposed, when there's this much of a problem with a piece of legislation, maybe you're not a betting woman, but what are the odds we're going to see something here? >> i think it's a possibility. remember, the house health care bill was dead until it wasn't, and they ended up passing it. so the same thing can happen here. it's two different desires that lawmakers are trying to fulfill here. on the one side, they do want to fulfill this promise of repealing and replacing obamacare. they feel like they have a mandate to do that from the voters. but on the other hand, they don't want to replace it with something that's far less popular than obamacare. so that's sort of the push and pull. i think they're waiting for another cbo score, congressional budget office score, on the most recent draft of thi

guys, look what they did, look what they did to my own son, there's supposedly something else, philip ruckershington post" winds up writing a piece saying there's a different strategy, attack those who report on it. we have an excerpt from the piece. >> he says a handful of republican operatives close to the white house are scrambling to trump junior's defense and have begun what could be an extensive campaign to try to discredit some of the journalists who have been reporting on the matter. their plan, as one member of the team described it, is to research the reporter's previous work, in some cases going back years and to exploit any mistakes or perceived biases. they intend to demand corrections, trumpet errors on social media and feed them to conservative outlets such as fox news. brian, i can just hear the trump supporters who i interview all the time would say about this is which is good, why does the white house have to be perfect and you all don't have to be perfect? and when you all get it wrong, it's fine, but when don junior makes a mistake, you go after him, like the sharks that

national security reporter ken dilanian, and "the washington post" chief white house bureau chief philip rucker. chief was a bit redundant in there but you get the picture. ken dilanian, this is your reporting. what do we know about this meeting and do we have any idea why this former counterintelligence officer would have been in it? >> well, there's the official story and then there's the suspicions that people have. the official story is we're not -- rinat akhmetshin, this former intelligence officer has worked with the russian lawyer who went to the meeting on a lobbying campaign against magnitsky act sanctions for a long time and they're arguing against the sanctions to argue against the underlining story behind the sanctions. according to their accounts at the beginning of the news organization, according to her account to nbc news, they sought to bring to the trump campaign's attention some contributions to the democratic national committee that the trump campaign apparently wasn't very impressed with. donald jr. said, thanks, this isn't very much. now that's the story but that doesn't s

philip rucker, let me the you about the two -- ask you about the two versions of president trump that we saw this morning. for 35 minutes he delivered a speech that i think our nato allies were very eager to hear him deliver, affirming our commitment to nato and to defending our allies. he had some of the toughest language ever on russia. but two hours earlier in a press conference, he was out there beating up on his favorite target, the mainstream media. our network here and cnn across town. calling them fake news and asking the leader of poland if he agreed with him. then really offering some real wishy-washy mucked up language about russia saying other people in other countries were also involved. what level of exasperation do you think the aides feel who worked on the scripted speech and got him to deliver it this time and saw it undercut or challenged by the freewheeling donald trump at the press avail? >> yeah, well, you're exactly right about the difference between the two trumps today on display in poland and the white house officials that i have been talking to today were rea
