susan rice will be here live in just a moment. also looking forward to talking with her about this sort of surprise pronouncement today from the trump administration, from secretary of state mike pompeo that iran all of a sudden is a dramatically more dangerous threat to the united states than it has ever been before, and the united states is entering into some new sort of heightened oppositional status when it comes to iran, which has a lot of people worried that mike pompeo is trying to lay the ground work for the u.s. waging war on iran. today you may have seen the dramatic pictures of two oil tankers that were some subject of some sort of attack in the gulf of oman. secretary of state mike pompeo rushed immediately to a sort of highly produced news conference today at the state department in which he pronounced that tathat attack on those tankers in the gulf of omon was definitely the work of iran. the u.s. government has saesed that was definitely iran who did it. again, he gave no evidence to back up assertion, and it's tota

susan rice isn't in the cabinet.rump on abc said he would not tell the fbi if a foreign power was going to offer him dirt. david: was it not okay for hillary? >> it's not okay for anybody. david: why didn't george stephanopoulos talk about what hillary did? >> she is not president. you know what the one thing that's true that donald trump said, he said if he shot people he would get votes. how come you can't be patriots and not make this a partisan issue. a lot of people are on twitter saying they did opo research for years. this is not opo research. david: i would go against hillary and a lot of democrats that do the same thing and don't admit it the wait president trump did. >> adam, perhaps the most of troubling thing is the fact that hillary clinton isn't president is incidental to this. the fact they paid for then used the democrat clinton campaign, used that's fallacious information gathered with the help of and foreign sources to act against a legitimate campaign is an abuse of the legitimate use of government

lois lerner or susan rice, the sunday show lies after four americans killed in benghazi and those benghazilling us right here on this show that there was a stand down order. pretty big scandal, uncle, joe. and the gunrunning, fast and furious scandal. that led to the death of u.s. borders patrol agent brian terr. i've interviewed his brother a lot, have you? the atf literally lost track of thousandsot of guns. eric holder tried to cover it alllo up. your administration. if you actually gave the runs down my guns away to criminals, gangs, cartels. people died. the disastrous iran deal, how aboutt that one? dropping over a billion dollars in cash and other currency on the tarmac of rado slope to radical islamic terrorist, the ones that chant death to america. and we can't forget about actually targeting the press and seizing the phone records of journalists, even spying on former fox news reporter james rosen, literally investigating him under the espionage act for reporting on a classified document, not turning over his sources? wow. and the hill's solomon reporting he faces serious pay to

we sit down with several authors to preview our forthcoming books including samantha power, mo susan rice and malcolm, watch all the programs and more this weekend on book tv. for a complete schedule check your cable guide. good evening, i'm honored to be with my friend, favorite philosopher alive. he has written other books, manifesto was the work of internet culture written in '99, i think. >> yeah. >> that's how i came across david and also across and other great books, and every day chaos

i don't know if it goes to ben rhodes or susan rice or higher.ith those three individuals involved, the orders came from the very top to spy on a presidential candidate because they didn't like his politics. david: we learned they were always trading information with the people at the top, the people from the fbi were, the people from the cia and national intelligence agency. so they were sharing information. why should they not share information about what they thought was a plot or what they were using to try to prevent donald trump from entering the white house. >> my sources tell me clearly there is an email chain out there. the singular most of members of our -- the senior-most of members of the obama administration were in on it. i believe barack obama was completely read in on what was taking place and the fisa applications asked for by the courts in has been no questioning of him. if there were failures in 2016 to stop the russians, that falls under barack obama and his intelligence community, not donald trump who is a candidate for offic

susan rice, that was a great one, saying her pop up in that montage. apparently, we are to believe that president trump said what he said in order to, what, invite on camera foreign governments to help him win reelection? again, all in plain sight? i'm not saying that the president should've may be handled the question slightly differently, maybe you should've. but let's not be foolish over the democrats suppose a concert of a foreign interference in america's business. first off, it was hillary clinton's campaign itself that paid for that phony russian dossier hawked by former british am i six officer christopher steele. this was all filtered through the sleazy research firm, fuson dps, run by the ever shady simpson. you may have forgotten that nellie ohr, the wife of doj bruce ohr worked at fusion and met with trump dossier author and former british spy christopher steele the day before the fbi launch. so, where was congressman nadler's outrage? >> i don't know what any of this means, it may be public relations, i don't know. >> laura: and why no nan

that there was clearly, this was not, to quote susan rice "by the book f.b.i. investigation here." listen, your colleagues up on the hill are the democrats. we may not agree with them but they are not stupid. they have to know there were severe abnormalities here. are they worrying that this is coming out and it may rebound on them? >> something they worry about is the authority that barr has with respect with the declassification. it's not the ohr investigation but the american public getting the truth and the actual information. michael cohen came to testify on the committee i serve on and there were leaks about what was in his testimony. the story sort of came to a screeching halt the moment that the cryp the transcript was released and people saw what was in it. they move forward with the investigation of the origins of this, which i had to live through with the intelligence committee. they will find holes in the story but they will release this information to the public to read it themselves to see that not only was there no "there" there but there were misdeeds done. it's ver

susan rice, who is being questioned because of all the unmaskings that she had done under the obama administration. clapper and others. former senior officials of the obama administration that are wrapped up in the middle of an investigation that is being conducted now by the department of justice regarding the origin of the investigation into trump and russia, which we now know has been completely debunked by at least four investigations and the mueller report. sean, what we have here, the american people is plain and simple and obvious, it's how desperate these former officials are to still spin this lie and spin it right at the president of the united states because they know the consequences that are coming or going to be harsh. >> sean: let me go to you from the congressional perspective but for the freedom caucus yourself, i was really giving you credit last night, jim jordan, mark meadows, devin nunes, behind closed doors, you are all asking the right questions. the only thing i am mad ad is you didn't share it with me. the only question i got an answer was was i over the target? >> we know

and we sit down with federal officers the preview the forthcoming books including samantha power, susan rice and malcolm gladwell. what all of these programs and more this weekend booktv. for complete check your cable guyguide. [inaudible conversations] >> good evening everyone and welcome to the bookstore. we are so excited to have such a large crowd. i am the owner and for little bit of history it was founded by my grandfather benjamin bass in 1927. in an area that is just a block over along fourth avenue. it was called booker. at its height there were 48 used bookstores and in the 92 years henson all of the stores has shuddered except for the strand and thanks to your readers we are still owned and rising. tonight am so excited to welcome the founder and editor of the widely popular leftist magazine to discuss this book. the socialist manifesto, the case for radical politics in an area of extreme inequality. since founding this he has described as a light and dark time, he has been a communist for the guardian u.s. the manifesto presents a history of socialism in an argument to the end of

nc >>> susan rice joins me now. welcome back. >> good to be with you. not even saying what country and as john brennon pointed out, you never know when a foreigner is offering opposition. what is your view of the president opening the door to foreign assistance in 2020? >> this is extremely serious. the stark reality, the sad truth is that we have a president in the united states whose not playing on america's team. he is invited yet again foreign interference in our presidential elections. he said that and finally admitted that he sees nothing wrong with collusion which is what happens when you accept information from a foreign entity and he said he would do it again. he sees no problem with a president of the united states being beholden to a foreign power even a foreign hostile power as one would be if you accepted information and support from a foreign government. they have their claws into you and can manipulate you. he sides with adversaries against our law enforcement. he continues to denigrate the fbi and the intelligence community. just a coupl

. >> now, in response, president obama's former national security adviser susan rice tweeted, at the risk of stating the obvious, this is horse bleep. what's your take, david? >> i think she's right. president obama wasn't calling the north koreans, begging for a meeting. i think that distorts history. what's interesting is that president trump has now claimed he has much better chemistry with putin, with kim, with xi and so far, what are the results? we don't have anything. we have a lot of talk. we have negotiations but no big breakthroughs and i think the pressure is on now to come up with some sort of breakthrough in american foreign policy. >> the president invited kim jong-un to visit him at the white house. do you see that happening? >> i think they ought to sit on that and never say another word about that until they actually have an agreement of some sort. you legitimize kim the more you invite him to meetings like this, the more you shake hands with him, the more you pat him on the back, you invite him to the white house. he is one of the world's most brutal dictators. a va

that there was clearly -- this was not, to quote susan rice, "by the book fbi investigation" here.isten, your colleagues up on the hill are democrats. you may not agree with them, but they are not stupid. they have to know there were severe abnormalities here. do you think they worrying that this is coming out and it may rebound on them? >> something they worry about is the authority that barr has with respect with the declassification. it's not just the origins of the investigation, it is also the american public getting the truth and the actual information. remember, when michael cole and came to testify before the intelligence committee that i serve on, there were a number of leaks about how his testimony was going to sink the president, and leaks about what was in his testimony. the story sort of came to a screeching halt the moment of the transcript was actuallyy released, and people saw what was in it. i think that is part of the going to be really important, as the inspector general, the attorney general, they move forward with the investigation of the origins of this, which

at noonan drea mitchell talking with former national security adviser susan rice about the escalating tensions with iran. we're going to be following that throughout the day. also following another story. capitol hill and the reaction, the developing news there, more lawmakers talking about president trump saying he'd consider accepting information, dirt basically, on his political opponents from a foreign government. we just heard from senator mark warner, the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee. here is what he had to say. >> the comments of president trump yesterday were extraordinary even in a trump world. we saw back in 2016 when then candidate trump basically invited russia, if they had any information, to bring it into the campaign. well, the russians heeded his words and interfered in our electoral process in unprecedented ways. now after the mueller investigation, after our investigation, after the work of the intelligence community that made clear that russia intervened in terms of weaponizing information, creating fake accounts in social media, trying to break

so i don't say it can't happen, and susan rice, the former national security adviser, had a good op-edn "the new york times" laying out some potential ways forward. not because she wishes we were here. none of us wish we were here. but here we are. >> finally, john bolton. you know, he is legendary as a bureaucratic infighter in the worlds that you have often occupied and the apparatus of american diplomacy in the state department and other places. how much of that is true in your experience and how much do you think he is sort of the point of the spear here? >> i think you said it right. there is no question that john bolton has never seen a war he didn't want to wage, and i must say, secretary pompeo has become his best buddy in trying to put on maximum pressure which leads one to war. they boxed the president into a corner that is creating an escalatory cycle between our hard hardliners, bolton and pompeo, and their hard hardliners. >> right. >> the islamic revolutionary guard corps and the quds force. but you are right, at the end of the day, as the president has told us time and t

in an op-ed, a former obama national security adviser susan rice writes following the mess of the cancelledilitary strike on iran, she sees an opening for president trump to restart the talks. the first step for the president, he needs to sideline his out of control national security adviser plus his hawkish sidekick, the secretary of state, john bolton and pompeo. why does he have these people in this administration? it's the rhetoric -- rhetorical question. he said no more stupid wars and then he brings bolton in. pompeo seems to be getting as worse as bolton. they want war. >> what they've done is box him into a corner where he really doesn't have a good way out. i totally agree with ambassador rice. there is an opportunity here. there are two reasons i'm skeptical that the trump administration is going to take it. first -- >> sheldon adelson. >> the people around trump. that's exactly right. the second is to your earlier point, they have tried this approach over and over again. it's not actually delivering results on north korea, on venezuela and now on iran. >> well, he just put out th

. >> as someone who had the privilege for working for barack obama and susan rice, that is somethinged every day. but what the campaign is doing is pretty simple. our campaign is extraordinarily diverse when you look at the ranks of senior leadership. we are establishing working groups on all of the issues we have discussed today. one of the working groups we are establishing is on the recipient foreign-policy. we all recognize we have a lot -- to do. do your >> is anyone else setting up a separate group to focus on that? >> i am a first-generation american pete -- first-generation american. pete is a second-generation american. there are some that are visible and some that are less visible. throughout all of our working groups, we have gender balance and representation from a diverse set of groups and identities. one that is worth pointing out is the lgbtq community. unless you are openly gay and also explicit when interacting with people, people might not recognize the diversity that is represented if we are just doing superficial perceptions of people's physicality. so this goes t

>> as someone who had the honor and privilege of working for president obama, susan rice was my bosss, one of the greatest leaders in foreign-policy, that is something we lived every day. what the campaign is doing is pretty simple. our campaign is extraordinarily diverse when you look at ranks of senior leadership. we are establishing working groups on all of the issues we discussed whether it is geographic challenges or functional ones. one of the groups we are establishing is not diversity in policy but we want to make sure the administration reflects america and that includes the national security side. something we worked hard on the last administration, we can do more, we can do better. >> is everyone setting up a separate task force to focus on that? >> absolutely a central issue. i'm a first-generation american. pete is on one side of the family and think about all the different representations that are critical here. some are more visible and some are less visible. throughout our working groups particularly on the foreign-policy side we have gender balance but we also have r

but i think there's a lot more people in the chain as well, susan rice and others, i think there's plenty about. there's actual stuff that occurred in terms of her -- what she did with classified information and talk about obstruction. get back to the nut of this. when you bang your hard drive and you get rid of all these e-mails in an active probe, i don't know -- i'm no lawyer, but i don't know how that's not obstruction. we lost sight of that. maria: we will leave it there. shawn, good to see you this morning. thanks so much. >> you bet. maria: next hour i'll speak with former trump campaign aide george papadopoulos. he will join us at 8:30. day two of the uber elevate summit in washington. susan lee has been there live, checking it all out. she's got the latest right now. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, maria. we're taking a look at the future of urban transport. yesterday we showed you flying taxis, a concept uber wants to get into the skies in about four years. today we'll stay on the roads and not the four wheel variety, more of the two wheel variety. talking about
