what he decided to retweet. what he decided to tweet and then delete just this morning, put up a couple of other ones. look, to many people this will be funny, slash harmless, but now? on the heels of what you're trying to heal in charlottesville. he retweeted a train bashing into us. retweeted something elsewhere someone i think the president thought was being supportive of him, where he said i'm going to quit twitter because the president just retweeted me. and then someone pointed out to me that the guy's tweet was he probably supporting arpaio because he believes he's a fascist. this is where his head is. the this is what he values. >> i always, chris i always rejected this idea no one really says it anymore but early in his presidency you have to ignore his twitter feed. even many democrats. his twitter feed is the main line into donald trump's cerebral cortex. i'll give you a some what le less -- how about yesterday. two tweets about the merck ceo who left an advisory council. zero tweets about charlottesv

this guy that it wouldn't be just retweeting another opinion maker. >> that's right.e knows full well and while he doesn't have a background in traditional politics, president trump actually is quite gifted when it comes to reading the cultural mood and sort of steering his way through the thicket that brought him to the white house in the first place. i see that as just a wink and a nod back to the people that he is relying on or trying to cater to in some sense and sort of saying i'm not completely gone. i'm still sort of here. there's a little ambiguity here. i think also we know that he watches this show and other morning shows and is an avid watcher of the news but he's also an entertainer as part of his background. i think it cuts him to the quick that the late night comics are going after him. what is he going to do, call them fake comedy? no. he understands the culture is moving in a direction that is at odds with this sort of game of footsie he's playing with the extremists. he has to figure out if he wants to write off a large chunk of the country to play to

president retweeting that. brooke, he also, i guess, for a brief period, appeared to retweet an image of a train running over what appeared to be a cnn journalist. now, we have heard from the white house on that. an anonymous white house official, keep in mind, the president has said in the past don't believe anonymous sources coming out of the white house but an anonymous source said that tweet was inadvertently post and had then later deleted so we did hear from the white house in terms of one of the president's tweets today, but this has been going on for the last 12 or so hours and it appears to be sort of the president kind of flailing around after some of the negative reviews he got yesterday after those remarks he made at the white house. i was there for those remarks when he tried to walk back his initial comments on the violence in charlottesville from over the weekend. >> and you were shouting those qu questions at him yesterday afternoon. staying on the president's tweets, jim, just quickly, what's t

does he get off on the idea that he has an internet meme to retweet? does it advance his agenda?oes he understand in that metaphor, he is the moon, obama is the sun, and he gets four minutes blocking out obama before obama comes back. i don't understand what the point of all of this is, except the fact that he is an impulse on twitter and elsewhere he can't control. >> why whenever they retweet somebody, why wouldn't you retweet somebody, inevitably does it turn out to be somebody with some racial issue on his twitter. are these the only people that follow donald trump and tweet him memes? >> should be an assignment editor, that's a good story to assign to a reporter. figure out the origins and nexus of these tweets which often come up through his account. i can't imagine, i can't imagine that he is there scouring the internet, scouring twitter, looking for these things. you have to imagine what they put in front of him. he doesn't follow that many on twitter anyway. where is he getting this, who is feeding him this. do they realize the megaphone to which they're feeding it, it i

the president himself this morning is retweeting tweets from alt-right leaders. why do we keep pointing the finger saying it's got to be bannon? this is president trump's action. he's his own man. >> he feels like he owes bannon. bannon helped make him. he was a regular on his radio show. obviously he feels as if he owes him some allegiance. let me just say this quickly, though. he always confronts people who confront him. notice when david duke confronted him, he was silent. david duke punked donald trump. he called him out on saturday saying we're in your corner, you wouldn't be here without us, and trump didn't even respond. >> that is extraordinary. not just david duke but apparently other leaders of the movement think donald trump is on their side. i want to share what one nationalist leader, richard spencer, said, quote, he doesn't believe trump was making his statement sincerely and doesn't believe the president has condemned the movement, pointing out that trump didn't use the term white nationalists yesterday, a piece from politico. what do you make of t

so, the question i'm asking today, then, is why did the president just retweet this fox news report, a report that cites anonymous intelligence officials? the report, which cnn has now confirmed, says that spy agencies have detected north korea loading missiles on a patrol boat. but remember here, one of the president's tweets from back in may read like this. "whenever you see the words, sources say in fake news media, and they don't mention names, it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #fake news is the enemy." also worth noting here, just a couple hours after the president retweeted this fox news report citing these anonymous intelligence sources, the u.n. ambassador, in this canikki hal appeared on fox news and condemned the fact that classified information was leaked in the report. >> i can't talk about anything that's classified and if that's in the newspaper, that's a shame. it's incredibly dangerous when things get out into the press like that. you're not only just getting a scoop on something. you're playing with people's live

president trump also has hit the retweet button a couple times today. in one case, that tweet was from one of the more well-known conspiracy theorists on the alt-right. another retweet showed a train hitting a cnn reporter. that was soon deleted. let's go to our white house reporter for the latest. kelly o'donnell. on monday, the president talked about the bonds of love and the things that bring us together as americans. what happened? >> reporter: well, this is the counterpuncher in chief as he has described himself, that he will smack back if he feels attacked, and that's what we of seen, especially on twitter. so you alluded to it, there was a tweet from the president today, a reaction to those ceos who let's remember this is a much more personal response for the president. these are people he considers to be in his peer group, and when they reject him, that is particularly personal for him. so he says in his tweet that those who are leaving the president's council are grandstanders and others will be willing to join in their place and then jobs, job

chris, i mean, look it's an echo of what happened in february, when he retweeted, appears to have retweetedcusations that president obama had wiretapped trump tower. he's the president. can he get the answer with a phone call. the same with this. so i'm not sure what that adds to the body of human knowledge on what the north koreans are doing. chris, can i make one additional point, too. some really sage observers are now pointing out that we need a wholistic approach towards nuclear proliferation and if the president's over here discounting the iranian deal and frankly press accounts are suggesting he's telling his team to come up with reasons why he can decertify the iranians, what does that mean, do we have any hope for negotiations with the north koreans? >> and the linking thought is what? >> the linking thought is why would the north koreans seriously enter into negotiations with us if we are now backing away from an agreement with the iranians, with for all of its flaws the american intelligence community is saying broadly the iranian s are observing. >> interesting observation and l

so far the only retweet they have weighed in on is that retweet of a trump train crashing into a cnn reporter. one white house official who didn't want to be identified telling me it was inadvertently posted and as soon as it was noticed, it was immediately deleted. this official not explaining what was so inadvertent, who posted it initially and who decided to delete it. a lot of questions remain on the table at this hour. and it comes as there are some real world consequences to what a lot of people felt was president trump's inadequate response to the white supremacists behind the clashes in charlottesville over the weekend. three ceos dropping out of leaving his manufacturing council including the ceos of merck, under armour and intel and just this hour we're learning that scott paul, who is, of course, the president of the alliance for american manufacturing just tweeted that he is leaving as well. this is a president who ran as being a jobs president, and here he is really losing the support of some key ceos. so, andrea, this is something that the president will have to answer

but that didn't stop the president from retweeting it just a few hours earlier.ial familiar with the latest intelligence did later corroborate that report confirming to cnn the north koreans have loaded two anti-ship cruise missile canisters on to a patrol craft. >> will the u.s. investigate that leak and possibly the president? >> 51 minutes past the hour. the highest number of job openings on record. so where are the wage hikes to match? that's on cnn money stream, next. and only one network can be the best... verizon. just named number one in the nation by rootmetrics, the largest independent study. in call, data, speed, and reliability. and awarded number one overall network for the eighth time in a row. because only verizon has the best network and the best unlimited. at where instead of payinging a befor middlemen,em. we work directly with family farms to deliver higher quality ingredients for less than you pay at the store. get $30 off at blueapron.com/cook but with odor free blue-emu continuous pain relief spray, pain used to shut me down during pick-up g

, retweeting has its dangers.esident retweeted, some cursory reporting on the man who originally tweeted it, what did we find out? >> we found out one of his recent tweets was a anti-sem he theic tweet of people driving in his hometown in new jersey, which he tries to defended. politicians try to be careful. and this is what happens. i would say at least the top of my head, at least the third time he's retweeted someone who's racist simply because he acts impulsively and his thumbs move faster than his brain. >> i read allowed frlt new wall street journal editorial board piece that dropped that said congress needs to realize they're governing with a independent president. so if angus king of maine, a independent senator had been elevated to the presidency, kind of how, what it would be like. >> only the wall street journal editorial board would call this menace in the white house independent. his independence is the least of our concerns. he's belligerent, disrespectful of entires groups of america, he has disdain

a live picture after they are upset the department retweeted a white supremacist. we're live on the scene at 6:00. up next, lester holt with "nightly news." >>> tonight, the growing backlash. new fallout after president trump equally blamed both white nationalists and anti-racist protesters for the violence in charlottesville. his business councils disbanding as ceos flee in a mass exodus. more republicans renouncing his message. more confederate statues pulled down. plus new reaction across the country, and our tom brokaw weighs in on it all. >>> so

i'm sure it has a bunch of retweets. >> you and i retweet something, it doesn't carry the weight when a president does. >> i'm sorry, i haven't seen that, i don't know. >> i can explain to you exactly, it's a train and hitting an image of a cnn image on a human body. that's what he is doing. the white house saying they have deleted it because it was ina inadvertently posted. >> if they came out and took care of it, that answers itself. >> great. michael, final thought. in general, do you allow the possibility -- do you allow for the possibility that the president can evolve on the issue of race? a lot of folks allow for president obama evolving on certain issues. do you allow the president to evolve on the issue of race? >> the reason people believed that about obama is because he was highly intelligent, poetic president who was able to touch basis with common human beings in understanding their crisis and their predicament, yes, if you disagreed with him, he was a stable personality, able to reach across the aisle to achieve some kind of commonty or balance in american politics. this

. >>> also, protests at the doorstep of the alameda county sheriff over a retweet of a controversialhite nationalist leader, the fallout continues, the department insists this was a simple mistake that someone was doing research on that particular speaker. demonstrator say they want the department though to prove that it was an honest mistake. >> yeah, nbc bay area's reporter reports on what kind of proof the protesters are hoping to get. >> reporter: during the demonstration, one of the organizers handed an envelope to a deputy who was standing guard on the front steps inside the envelope, a public record's request. >> we wanted to find out why and how. we need transparency and accountability from this department. >> reporter: this is the controversial retweet from the official alameda sheriff handled from monday night. it was a david spencer's twitter feed with a live news conference about charlottesville, virginia. another saying it was an accidental retweet and then yet another saying they were trying to take the retweet down. >> of course they need to find some information out a

dream of shutting down the president's twitter account, he is stirring up even more controversy by retweeting a jab at president obama posted by someone known for making anti-semitic statements. >>> and hurricane threat, a dangerous storm is gaining strength right now, and could hit the gulf coast in a matter of hours. is the trump administration ready for what could be the first natural disaster on the president's watch. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room."

he retweeted a far right conspiracy theirrist first thing this morning and then mid-morning he retweeted an image of a trump train crashing into a person who had a cnn logo. now, the white house hasn't commented on this on the record. we should mention that the tweet was taken down. one white house official requesting and did offer this. inadvertently posted and as soon as it was noticed, it was deleted. who initially posted the tweet, what was inadvertent about it and why it was ultimately taken down. but, this is creating more difficult questions for the administration on a day the president wanted to get back to his agenda. he's going to be talking about infrastructure holding a big infrastructure event later on today and i know you'll be there, hallie. >> taking the truck down fifth avenue to come join you as soon as this program is over. thank you very much. >>> gabe gutierrez who is in charlottesville. gabe, some of the newest developments here. these new 911 transcripts talking about james fields' past. walk us through what some of these allegations are from his mom. >> hi, there,

actually a retweet. put it up on the screen. retreat from "fox and friends" u.s. spy satellites detect north korea moving anti-ship cruise missiles to patrol boat. after that retweet, nikki haley, his ambassador to the u.n., was on fox, and listen to the way that she dissed the notion of talking about this publicly. >> i can't talk about anything that's classified and if that's in the newspaper, that's a shame. incredibly dangerous when things get out into the press like that. you're nobel just getting a scoop on something, you're playing with people's lives. >> yeah. >> okay. so i'm not exactly sure if she knew that the president of the united states had retweeted that, her boss, but at the end of the day, that's -- that's the reality here. the reality here is that she is talking about a concern about classified information getting out there, and the president just retweeted to, how many followers? >> 33 million or so. >> 33 million followers? >> very unusual. not the first time it's happened. the president we know now watches television a lot of the time. he lik

we have seen some of the retweets he made on twitter as early as this morning where he retweeted a conspiracy that shows me what world he is living in and where he gets his information and what influences his decisions. >> from your time there, attacks on the media is not just questioning the quality of journalism is it? >> no, no. it's questioning the power and control behind the voice of the public. they claim that there is a conspiracy theory that diversity is a code word for white genocide. they believe the media is promoting a multicultural agenda. the media is co-oping what they see as the white identity and it couldn't be more false. >> very interesting discussion. thank you for helping us. in some ways, you know, we hear what is spoken. we don't always know what is heard by these groups and sometimes that's just important. thank you very much for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> his controversial memo cost him his job. a fired google engineer is not backing down. he says the company is unsafe for conservatives s. k they don't bring like they can bring their whole selves to google. th

. >> accused of racism for retweeting a prominent racist.igns near lake merritt and oakland yesterday. the public information officer said the retweet was an accident. he said it happened while he was researching white nationalist groups for a planned event in burerkeley next weekend. critics say it wasn't an accident. >> regardless of their claims. there's a long pattern of racist attitudes and actions the department has taken. for example, the endorsement of jeff sessions as attorney general. >> the alameda county sheriff's department has issued an apology for the retweet. >> a hiker is safe after he got caught on the side of a cliff. he was 30 feet down with nowhere to go. rescuers from the police and fire departments worked to get him up. one climbed down the cliffside, hooked him to a harness and they made their way up to the top. >>> coming up on 4:30. if you're just joining us let's get a quick look at weather and traffic. >> good morning. we're starting off, a lot of spot have clear skies. we see a lot of fog and cloud cover. the exp

today, he's retweeting an unsubstantial story about north korea. this is what the country is now seeing as, yes, he does this as a way to get around it. there is a huge risk associated with it. that goes back to the credibility issue we spoke about at the top. there's an issue at the white house that more americans think they are doing well in the country than don't. >> 53% see the country headed on the right track. it is the one -- the good number i could find for the president that the country is feeling good about where it is. the majority of the country is feeling good about where things are headed. that seems to be a position americans are holding apart from how they are grading the president's performance. >> that's why you hear the president talking about the job numbers and the stock market. he knows that resinates. david, thank you my friend. >> thanks, poppy. >>> as the white house talks about these issues, they may have their own government research. a new story, headline, scientists from 13 federal agencies are reporting that climate ch

he saw a headline and he retweeted it. he retweets fox news several times a day. >> do you think it will blow over, ken? >> i think this is how he operates. and ying ti think we'll have to how these things are implemented and whether there could be an attempt to reach some sort of agreement. >> i'll ask you to hang out for a little bit longer. jamie, thank you for joining us from new york. i'm asking you all to stick around because president trump in the last 24 hours hummable bragging about his base being stronger than before. fact check. not so much. brand-new polls just out today. >>> the president set to talk today with his team from new jersey. up next, the one big question we have about what could come out of it. your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical

the retweet caused a stir on social media. the sheriff's office replied to shocked followers by saying it was an accidental retweet and was in no way done intentionally. the retweet appeared for about 45 minutes before it was removed. the alameda county sheriff sergeant explained the error to the bay area news group. he said he was redding on recent events and preparing for the upcoming alt-right rally in berkeley that says he clicked a link that took me to a presser and try to close it by hitting buttons. >>> a $21 billion wish list. what's happening today and the potential future for san francisco transit. spend we need to understand the other side that people do have rights and we want to respect those. >> national anthem protests will likely be a major story this upcoming football season. what the nfl commissioner is saying about players like colin kaepernick and players like marshawn lynch. >>> yesterday was one for the pool looks. well below average. there is a good fog bank out there. it continues to increase. >>> welco

he's had no problem in the past retweeting people, he could have retweeted his daughter too, right? >> he could have indeed. >> i mean, is he making a statement by not doing that? >> i think his lack of speaking with clarity and emotional punch sends a clear message that he just does not feel that these people ought to be singled out. he continues to see this as a law and order problem, not a terrorism problem, and he continues to see it as -- there's violence on both sides. and to be -- let's be fair to the president, there is some violence -- there is some hatred on the part of the people who came as a counter protesters, we saw in a just in that clip. but the primary responsibility here rests upon those who preached hatred and held this rally. you do not have a first amendment protection if you use language that insights violence, invites hatred. that does not protect the first amendment. the courts have been clear on that point. the primary responsibility for this violence rests with those who came to charlottesville, the neo-nazis, the anti-sellites, the kkk and all these other

let's start with the retweet. he seemed to reveal a cia covert operation to arm syrian rebels.propaganda bot over the weekend. >> still not sure what the treat was from the fan named nicole who may or may not be a real person. now with the retweet of "fox & friends," the president's favorite show on television, a pro trump show that he gets a lot of information from. that means that show has an added responsibility to get it right when the president is paying attention. i do think when it comes to this tweet about classified information there is hypocrisy here, but a long history of u.s. government choices about whether to pursue leakers or not. sometimes leaks are sanctioned, encouraged by the intel community, sometimes they're not. i think this is one of those situations where we're seeing the u.s. intel community leak information about north korea purposely to inform the public. >> it comes after jeff sessions thundered from the podium we'll pursue leakers to the full extent of the law. >> i hope people recognize it's frequently the president or his aides doing the leaking.

retweeted what was seen as the best eclipse ever.ouple days after the total solar eclipse, that all of us were covering just the other day, but you see the president slowly -- eclipsing his immediate president -- predecessor. why would the current president undermine and ridicule his immediate predecessor? people are wondering, has that ever happened before? a president really goes after his immediate president sayser in -- predecessor like this? >> unusual, petty as retweet. you see policy issues. you saw president obama criticize george w. bush, not kind of own persona and power. you note in this analogy, president trump is the moon. not the sun which is, you know, the thing around which the whole universe revolves. it's actually kind of a strange thing, if you think about it that way. you know, maybe it's like -- a reminder that s.t.e.m. education is important. >> it's a weird retweet. isn't it? >> very weird. hadn't thought about that. and the next frame would be the trump image moving on. right? and obama re-emerging. >> exactly

the retweet appeared for about 45 minutes before it was taken down.e spoke with the sheriffs sergeant ray kelly who says he was doing research for the rally in berkeley but clicked on a few buttons and retweeted the post. sergeant kelly takes full responsibility for what happened and will make himself available to reporters this morning about the security measures planned for the demonstration. >>> president trump is waking up inside trump tower this morning for the first time as commander in chief. protesters were outside calling for his impeachment when he arrived last night. >> reporter: thousands of protesters hoping to greet president trump since he returned for the first time since taking office. >> we are going to send him a message that this is what america looks like. >> reporter: the president is under scrutiny after the protest in virginia. 32-year-old heather heyer killed when a car ran into a crowd of counter protesters demonstrating against a white nationalist rally there. president trump facing criticism for not specifically condemning
