there are many voices coming over the transome from all over the place. he's a prolific phone caller and receiver of phone calls. the input that he's getting sometimes conflicts with i would call the three principles. in addition to that, there are voices within the white house, sometimes as i understand it, they're the voices that he sees very first thing in the morning and-- >> who might those be. >> and so sometimes those can move things in a direction that are different, again, from the three principals that are out there working towards a different end. we see it, it plays out in many ways publicly, sometimes in conflict with efforts that are underway and sometimes in ways that can, in fact, undermine what is occurring. >> host: so we hear that this process is pretty tough and sometimes demoralizing for secretary of state tillerson who has flown out to the gulf, worked hard to med mediate in the dispute between our allies ua e.on one hand and qatar on the other and that's been affected by the dissonance with the white house policy. it's got to be fru

we've had a lot of firsthand records come across the transome through www.send it to rachel.com. documents that show us how the government is making decisions, what the government is doing, whether or not they are talking about it publicly yet. it's been a great resource for our reporting. i will say it one more time. www.send it to rachel.com. it's still up and running. a few weeks ago we got a new document through that channel, and at first glance it was just unbelievably red hot. if by any chance this document is real, it is so sensitive, so classified that i cannot show it to you. i cannot show it to almost anyone because of its purported classification level. it's hard to circulate it at all or even to describe it to people. i don't say that to try to hype it. i say that to let you know it's logistically difficult to validate something like this. when it's classified at that level or appears to be classified at that level, you can't run the document like that by people the way you would for any other kind of document we might get shipped to us from some source. people who ar

he went back to review a bunch of exciting studies that he had looked at as they came across the transomthat had been published in the scientific journal and he discovered that when the originally came across his desk, he thought wow, if any of these were good results, i could get some really good deeds for drugs so he thought, you know, this is how pharmaceutical companies work by a large these days, that's a lot of their own basic research, they rely on science they said you know, i couldn't get these studies were the first time, we tried to replicate in our lab, let's try again so if you went to a second cycle of getting these studies replicate and 53 studies, he even recruited the help of a lot of the scientists who done the work to begin with and of those 53 only accident to replicate which is what, 11 percent so pretty grim statistics and he was raising the alarm saying a lot of the research coming out of academic labs is not reproducible. he wasn't the only ones who have done this, a few months before his study was published the second study had been done by researchers at the the

> as you know seasoned campaign advisers and participants when they get in kind of stuff over the transomnore it or alert federal authorities. campaigns on both sides of the aisle. donald trump jr. didn't do that. in fact he actually escalated. invited paul manafort and jared kushner into the meeting because i think this is a family that's never done due dilgz. rolled by their own rules, they are not strategic thinkers, not long-term thinkers and very new to pliks now that's coming back to haunt them. >> what you're saying is forget new to politics. you're saying in business any don't do due dilgens. >> no. >> if a russians wants to send in someone talking about buying a apartment or building they'll have the meeting they won't do homework on that. >> we know this through donald trump senior's relationship with the bay rock group a felix sater. a career criminal with organized crime ties that donald trump didn't bling at doing business because it looked an opportunity to make money. >> talk about the relationship between father and son donald trump abdonald trump jr. under these condition

think, anderson, your point that is important, which is there is information that comes across the transom saying russia wants to help your father win. there's nobody that doesn't know that's potentially very inappropriate aside from just kind of cheering on the part of vladimir putin. and there were enough people around, lawyers, other foreign policy types, who could have been giving advice, including flynn unless he was so compromised that he was giving contrary device, who wouldn't say put the brakes on this. and that's really the point, is the president is acting like he has something to hide and is contemptuous of even the suggestion that russia was meddling. you talk to business leaders, they understand there are relationships with russian business folks and american business folks. but even they understand it's different than saying you're going to get involved in an election. >> they didn't care. that's the timeline now. in june you get the e-mail that says the russian government wants to help your dad win. in october you get the senior intelligence official saying the russian gove

think they would have had better communications than just this e-mail that sort of came in over the transom. so there's much to investigate here, but the -- the reaction is definitely not the one you would -- you would expect and not the one you would want if you knew people would someday be looking at it. >> is it possible we may see donald trump jr. testify in congress? >> he said he'd cooperate so presumably that would be the expectation of cooperation would be to testify and answer questions from both parties have asked for that. >> that's right. thank you so much. >>> and also on capitol hill senate republican leaders want to vote next week on their bill to replace obamacare. they still have to overcome strong opposition. >> don't give up! >> capitol police arrested about 80 protesters yesterday who held noisy demonstrations outside senate offices. ten republican senators say they cannot support the gop health care measure right now. senate leaders need eight of them to change their minds before the bill can pass. >>> an active duty u.s. soldier deployed twice to fight terrorists is no
