the "washington post" reporting he was being monitored as a possible russian agent. all of this while secretary of state rex tillerson is in russia amid a lot of guessing as the whether he will meet with putin. "the 11th hour" begins now. good evening once again from our headquarters here in new york. this was day 82 of the trump administration. and we are covering a number of stories. we should lay them out this way. first, the pentagon today talked about the success of the cruise missile attack on that syrian air field. the u.s. secretary of state is in russia. the "washington post" is reporting that trump campaign aide carter pain was under surveillance for contact with russian agents and was the subject of a federal court warrant. and today during passover, the white house press secretary said hitler, unlike assad in syria, did not use chemical weapons on his own people. they were instead taken to what he called "holocaust centers". >> we didn't use chemical weapons in world war ii. you know, you had a -- you know, someone as despicable as hitler who didn't even

carter page, phd. >> so that was march 21 of 2016, jeff, of "the washington post." both adam with "the washington post" and nia-malika, both mentioned that exchange. has the white house explained how carter page ended up on the list? >> reporter: haven't extensively. that's back when mr. trump was emerging as the likely or potential republican nominee. just a little over a year or so ago and quite frankly he didn't have much of a big apparatus of advisers around him. he was a very lean campaign but he was sitting down with the editorial board there of "washington post," that was the publisher of "the washington post" asking him questions there and he did say that carter page was an adviser. now he was never a central player in the rest of the campaign. certainly like a paul manofort and sean spicer from the podium at the white house said, oh, basically not involved in the campaign. that's not true. but carter page does fit into more along the lines of those descriptions here. he was never a central player in terms of the campaign apparatus and did have meetings and

you also have the "washington post" reporting the fbi was monitoring ex-trump adviser carter page for acting as an agent for russia. carter page said he wasn't. rebecca, did president trump surround himself with dodgey people? >> donald trump has said that carter page, for example, was not a top aide, he wasn't close to the campaign. you have sean spicer going out there and saying paul manafort was nothing more than a volunteer for the campaign and not an important player even at the same time he was campaign manager. you have wonder how influential were these people in the circle? have to think paul manafort had great influence in the trump organization. carter page maybe not as influential. then donald trump mentioning his name second in a list of foreign policy advisers in an interview with the "washington post" editorial board over the summer so you have to wonder why these inconsistencies with their stories. but certainly they had some influence in the campaign and it does go back to the judgment of the chief executive of the candidate, and now the president, why did he pick thes

"the washington post" goes on to write this. that the day after an article appeared in the article in march, "the washington post" published details of the court filings in their lawsuit against the nfl's 32 teams that alleges instances in which they were made aware of the abuses and violations of the federal laws. -- host: that's another story you may have interested in in today's papers in the washington post. let's hear from gloria in new york, independent. galore ya, what do you think of this discussion about buy american? caller: hello. i just wanted to say i really try hard to buy things made in america. or our country was down 7% 8%, i became real interested and i told my friend our unemployment rate will probably not go up until we stop buying so much stuff from other countries. nd for instance, i'm only on social security, that's all, nothing else. but i go like shop at dollar tree and that's the best of all the dollar stores i think because it has the best employee policies that i know of from what i've investigated. a

but according to the "washington post," the fbi is investigating. and again it's one of these many odd unexplained contacts. we should say they say there was a meeting but it has nothing to do with trump. >> in reading the "washington post" story there were a couple of things that jumped out. number one, mr. prince had no role with the campaign, no role with the administration -- >> according to the "washington post," though, not only had he donated a quarter of a million dollars at least after the convention but he was in trump tower in december and so was this -- >> anderson, but there are a lot of people that come into trump tower and i didn't see him in it so i can't speak to that point. but the fact of the matter is this was a meeting that looks like it was set up by someone from the uae and it looks like the uae person was doing it to prop themselves up. but again -- >> at trump tower. >> but if the fundamental point of this investigation is to get to some supposed coordination between the campaign and some foreign government, then immediately

the "washington post" was first to publish the story alleging the meeting was with, quote, a russian close to president vladimir putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back channel line of communication between moscow and then president-elect donald trump. according to reports, eric prince gave a quarter of a million dollars to trump's campaign and pro trump super pacs. he was seen in the trump transition's new york offices in december and also happens to be the brother of the trump administration's education secretary betsy devos. one of our own sources confirmed "the washington post" version while a second cast doubt that's what the meeting was about. a senior administration official called the suggestion of a trump-putin back channel ridiculous. white house press secretary sean spicer told us late this even, quote, we are not aware of any meetings and eric prince had no role in the transition. we also learned late tonight that president trump spoke with vladimir putin in the wake of today's deadly subway explosion in st. petersburg. let's bring in our panel to kick off

this is the headline in "the washington post." "g.o.p. drops health care vote."ow that clears the way for a one-week budget bill. but then last night, senator schumer came to the floor and said we want assurances that what he called poison bills, legislations dealing with abortions, financial regulations and environment are also not included in this larger spending package that they've been negotiating for the past month. so what do you think about this back and forth? the president first demanding that border wall funding be included in this larger funding package. he backed off of that demand. and then he wanted this health care vote not happening this week. so what are your thoughts? republicans, democrats. the president yesterday blaming the democrats for this in tweets saying "i promised to rebuild our military and secure our border. democrats want to shut down the government. politics." and then he also said his family is prepared for summer vacations in our national parks. democrats threaten to close them and shut down the government. terrible. i am in --

the washington post said, quote, gorsuch's actual voting behavior suggests he is to the right of both alito and thomas and by a substantial margin. that would make him the most conservative justice on the court in recent memory. that is why the heritage foundation and the federalist society put judge gorsuch on their list. emily of the new york times in a brilliant article i urge all my colleagues to read, the reality is judge gorsuch embraces a judicial philosophy that would do nothing less then undermine the structure of modern government including the keep our water clean, regulate financial markets and protects workers and women. i asked unanimous consent that article be added into the record. >> without objection. >> there are clearly principled reasons to oppose judge gorsuch and enough of we democrats have reasons to prevent his nomination from moving forward on thursday's cloture vote. the question is no longer whether judge gorsuch will get enough votes on the cloture motion, the question is now will the majority leader and our friends on the other side break the rules of the

intelligence officials revealed to the washington post classified intelligence about the nature and existence of conversations of federal crime. so when multiple news reports emerged yesterday and pointed to susan rice as having a role in unmasking who was involved in various intelligence reports, many asked if she was a central figure in how that information was disseminated and perhaps ultimately responsible for a leak. rice's response today? that characterization is not true. >> the allegation means that somehow obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. that's absolutely false. let me explain how this works. >> if she had a role in leaking the information that flynn had to the washington post. >> let me le >> did you leak the name of mike flynn? >> i have leaked the name of nobody. never have and never would. >> aside russia, which is still ongoing, this gentleman, house intel chairman devin nunes has pointed to the leaked conversation of michael flynn as one hard example of wrong-doing by the obama administration. a crime involving leaked classified info

and this weekend "the washington post" cracked the lid open. what is sitting in that box right now is interesting and potentially really revealing what the trump administration has planned. "the washington post" oreports that the administration got a flood of recommendations on what federal rules should be tossed into the shredder, everything from mixing paint, sick leave for government contractors, to getting rid of electronic injury and illness records. most of the friendly tips target epa regulations. they make up almost half of what is sitting in that comment box right now. "the washington post" flagged one comment in particular from oil and gas giant bp. bp, they of the infamous deepwater horizon oil spill disaster of 2010 is politely asking the federal government on shiny letterhead to make it easier for them to drill for oil and gas in the gulf of mexico. they want their drilling leases to be long sorry they don't have to review them as frequently and fill as much paperwork. please and thank you. meanwhile, up in alaska, bp, the same com

and they're not reading the "washington post." they're reading individual stories that their friend recommended to them. and they often don't even know where they have landed. when we go back and survey people. where did you learn this, where did you read that? they say i got it through facebook. and so by -- we lose something there because of the brand recognition isn't as strong as it was but the reader ands the community is losing something because they're not understanding the sourcing. not understanding where this information came from and why and whether it should be trusted. so i would defend the 27-year-old journalists, because we have a lot of them in our newsroom and they're month the most aggressive and smart reporters that we have. the difference is not generational. the difference is in the intent, whether the intent is to inform the public or fool the public. so, if you turn on any of the cable news channels, whatever your ideology, you'll see an enormous difference go back and look of youtube of any of the channels

"washington post" headline, trump's complex the next 100 days.he president will target tax reform and jobs. republicans warn of challenging times ahead. we should point out congress goes back in session tomorrow, both the house and senate. main funding will be government funding and they signed an approved one-week extension of government funding through this coming friday. this coming week. and they have to take the next step and do a bill for the rest of the budget years. you can watch action in the house and senate on c-span and c-span 2. "the new york times" has that headline about remaking the presidency, referring to president trump but he has changed, too, they write in his first 100 days in power the president has transformed the nation's highest office into a profound and mundane, pushing traditional boundaries, ignoring long-standing protocol and restoring the white house and restoring it in his own image. the president's advisors say it's changed him. till a mercurial and a provocateur, cable of head spinning, mr. trump adapted to the

if will, pulitzer prize winning columnist for "the washington post."st heard the president say that a lot of very potentially bad problems will be going away. does that take care of it for trump voters that china has now been dealt with and the problems will be silently going away? >> well, it's not clear what you do to deal with china. let's say china keeps sending us inexpensive apparel, t-shirts, tennis shoes, et cetera. now you can slap, as he promised to do during the campaign a 45% tariff on that, but that rises prices for american consumers there. are about 135,000 americans in the apparel industry. there are about 45 million americans living near or below the poverty line whose cost of living would go up if you did that furthermore, if this is not a commodity specific tariff, but a national specific one that is directed at china specifically, then the apparel no doubt would no longer be made there. it would be made in bangladesh or vietnam or some other place. it would change the flow of goods into this country not at all. >> is there anything

he read about in the "washington post." how did house republicans find out a couple of weeks ago that this health care bill, as obamacare bill they been talking about for months had been pulled without a vote? they read about it from the "washington post" and the "new york times." the president himself had called this news. one of the dynamics we dealt with last year in the transition. before president donald trump took over was the power of his twitter feed, his ability to use twitter to get around us or two more often command us to cover whatever he wanted. but we now have seen even a few weeks president donald trump has diluted the power of that weapon, diluted the power of that account by repeatedly using it to hit that he would do things that he would not do or to make claims that he had no evidence to back up your so just a big one example, in chicago doesn't fix the horrible carnage i will send in the fence. he did not send in the fed. 3 million people didn't vote illegally. he wasn't wiretapped at trump tower as far

the washington post has an interesting piece how the trump campaign led to a messy presidency. the upshot of the post article is the the trump administration is anything but a finally tuned machine. the white house, we will say, does not see it that way. more now from washington post chief correspondent, ryan and jeffrey are also back. he points to what he argues is a first productive week for donald trump. a lot of it at its core seemed be about donald trump's management style. >> i think that's right, anderson. i mean the interesting thing is there was a transition process that was operating pretty normally. and according to outsiders, pretty effectively until the week of the election. but the curiosity is that donald trump as he put it bad karma reasons did not want to engage at all with the transition team prior to the election. he just thought it was, you know -- he thought it would jink him. so he didn't have any involvement though members of his family and senior staff certainly did. >> and jeffrey, i'm sure you read dan's speech but it seems that the white house is setup

the "washington post" was interested in a story about ths camp those promoting young people into business and trying to find ways to help them understand where opportunities might exist, have you might take advantage and how they can create sustainable, viable enterprise in the long run. i was just one of many that were there. >> about what use later what are your committee assignments? >> i'm on house in financial services which allowed. not only is it in your i've had a lot of interest in all of my life i would undergraduate focus on finance but i am a banner waving believer that if we can get capital out to small businesses come to individuals who want to start businesses we can redirect this economy. we are not seeing the type of small business creation that we have over the last 40 or 50 years. that's led to a lack of employment growth. it's like a lack of opportunity for individuals to control the financial future. i want to get more capital out to thee. i want people to start this business is in their garages that eventually become a big businesses. those type of success stories i

the front page of the washington post. a new abc news washington post poll showing 42% of those surveyed approve of the president, 53% disapprove. the headline, "holes at record lows for the approaching 100 day mark." the washington post taking a historical perspective on what this means. the headline, historians say the useless0 days is a benchmark. frank when roosevelt talking about the achievements of his young presidency, the first 100 days devoted to spinning the wheels of the new deal. the first 100 days has taken on a life of its own. some tried to gauge the success or failure of the administration by actions conducted in the first few months while others view it as a time for leadership -- leaders to set the tone for the rest of the presidency. what has become apparent is that the first three months say little about a new presidents achievements, let alone his legacy or agenda. according to experts it is simply too short of a time to achieve something lasting and meaningful. and yet on the campaign trail, in gettys

narrative which i think you'll hear in most the newspapers, flipping through my "new york times" and "washington post" is it's a legislation in delay and they lost a number of high profile people like the national security advisor and the nominee as the labor secretary nominee is now the secretary so there have been a lot of problems and issues and some of the tweets were intemperate and caused issues like the one of president obama attacking his wires. that's narrative one. the second narrative you hear on the republican side and the conservative media is goat neil

"the washington post" was really -- was really interested in this camp that was promoting young people into business and help them understand how opportunities might exist and how they could create sustainable, viable enterprises in the long run. i was just one of many that were there. reporter: about 20 years later, now the member of congress, what are your committee assignments? mr. hollingsworth: i'm on house financial services which i love and i'm excited about. it's an area i've had a lot of interest in all of my life. i focused on finance in undergrad. but i'm a banner-waving believe that are if we can get capital out to small businesses, if we can get capital out to individuals that want to start businesses we re-ignite this economy. we are not seeing the type of small business creation that we have over the last 40, 50 years in this country. that's led to lack of employment growth. it's led to lack of opportunities for individuals to control their financial future. i want to get more capital out to them. i want people to be able to start those businesses in their garages, that

they were in the same building and "the washington post" reported it. and today trump said he didn't know sessions had talked to kislyak until "the washington post" reported it. if you're in the white house and you want to get a message to the president, don't tell your boss. tell us. that is how he learns. [applause] bill: power of the press. power of the press indeed. i have to use this, since i brought it. i brought my copy of the united states constitution, and the california constitution, by the way, and it is open to the 25th amendment. people did not know about and emoluments, the emoluments clause, and not many people knew the 25th amendment existed until now. people suddenly read it and say oh, my god. there is a way short of impeachment if someone wanted a change. david: right. bill: does it work, and what do you think the chances are? david: i am not that familiar with it. i know it would involve asserting infirmity, mental or physical infirmity, inability to carry out the job. bill: if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet wrote a

he will retweet "washington post" articles, even though he says that "the washington post" is a bunchf liars. same with the "new york times." he doesn't hate the press. he hates fact-based coverage of him, period. >> he's doing nine interviews this week that i've counted, including three today, another one tomorrow, and on the plane with him in pennsylvania, all of this evidence we've all accumulated the evidence of his love of journalists when it's convenient, love of attention, better word. >> we'll relate to this criticism, i wonder if we were late, because this is nothing new. everyone is criticizing president trump right now, and during the campaign at the end probably most journalists did, but remember on june 16, 2015, he said that mexican immigrants were criminals and drug traffickers and rapists, and that reaction was mute. >> no, that's the reason why i'm on this campaign, is because i did stories about that. the reaction from maybe the general public was a little bit more mute. from cnn perspective, we covered it quite a bit. >> i think the criticism right in the beginning

a "washington post" opinion piece.ust how similar is donald trump to adolph hitler. the washington post ran an article "truck and the slow crawl of hitler's fascism." "donald trump not exactly hitler! but his nazi germany comments conceal a dark parallel pattern." mike gal letter and molly hemingway. where was the backlash around those beauties? mollie: yesterday cnn had a orsaying you should never compare yoner anything to hitler. then i saw three other articles cnn has run about how people were making hitler comparisons. after 2016 when so many people in the media openly stated donald trump was a bigger threat than hitler, that they would be upset sean spicer inartfully made the point that chemical weapons weren't used on the battlefield by hitler. lou: there is nobody, his fiercest critics, nobody thinks he's anti-semitic. we are getting so fed up with this pretend judge rage. lou: and then it becomes a defensiveness on the part of the conservatives when it occurs to them in which they fall in line and simply roll o
