we have actually not seen this text message, anderson. y being relayed to us by republican members of congress who have reviewed these text messages. they're the once who are characterizing these contents. until we see these documents in full, we do not exactly know what they're referring to but it's very clear the republicans, themselves, don't know, either, which is what ron johnson acknowledged when i asked him that which is what he said he wants to investigate further. >> manu raju, appreciate that. joining us now is congressman charlie dent. the department of justice says the text messages are missing because of an archival problem affecting 10% of phones of the fbi between that period. do you take the justice department at its word or share president trump's suspicions? >> no, i accept the justice department's explanation. i think a lost my colleagues got to take a deep breath, be a bit more measured and i think they ought to step back from some of these conspiracy theories, deep state. for heavens sake, sounds like we're talking abo

now, we should point out just to underline what you were saying a few moments, anderson, the president of the united states has a history of making these racially charged offensive comments and we put together a graphic just to demonstrate that, that this goes back for some time now. remember, president trump is the person who repeated the lie that president obama was not born in the united states when he launched his campaign. he said some mexican immigrants are rapists. just last august after the tragedy in charlottesville, he said that there were very fine people among the white supremacists who were protesting there. and then of course today saying that haitians and africans come from shithole countries. anderson, time and again this is just a problem area for this president where he just seems to harbor these racist attitudes and is apparently feeling more and more emboldened to say this. i talked to a source close to the white house this evening who was shocked that the president with say this among lawmakers because it would obviously get out. the irony of all ironies, a sad iro

. >> it's understandable how when we saw anderson cooper and yourself when you're talking about a peopleered so much and lived to talk about it and said they would move forward and carry on. >> i can't speak to don's comments. but i can tell you, i was down there with anderson literally within 24 hours that of earthquake hitting and was down there for weeks with him. i mean, you can't live like that and be among the haitian people for that long and see what saw and experience what he experienced without it being personal, without -- you can't just take that comment and sort of be this journalist and i'm going to look at this very straight and narrow. it touches you. i can see where that comment touched him, maybe hurt him a little bit. >> it did hit him. chris, thanks so much. >> you may want to start checking your paycheck carefully next month. the irs rolled out new tax rate guidelines yesterday. it was for companies trying to figure out how much to withhold from your paycheck. the treasury secretary says you should start seeing changes no later than february 15th. next month the irs w

we have talked about this, anderson.ine or ten russian officials in positions have died in recent months since the publication of this dossier, since it was made public and there have been a lot of questions about why that was. some of them connected to this dossier. so he was referring to that, making a supposition that people might have died as a result of this, based on our own reporting it's not clear that he had any hard information that one tech person was killed as a result of this. >> jim sciutto, thanks. with all of that as a backdrop, we're joined by republican john kennedy of louisiana. senator, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. some of your republican colleagues have said that the dossier was solely a creation of hillary clinton and the democrats. do you acknowledge, based on this testimony by simpson, that fusion received its backing from a republican billionaire? >> well, let me say first, the substance of this, anderson, bothers me less than the process. >> how so? >> well, it doesn't bother m

. >> anderson we're saying the same thing we want america to remain the place where everyone in the world wants to come. what the president is sayingive to prioritize people based on the merit based system. he is saying there shouldn't be carve outs i went through the list. shouldn't be carve out for norway. >> is there any promptly white or caucasianen country the president has called for a shit hole? to your knowledge there is no predominately white country the president has called a shithole. now it's the entire continent the continent of africa. >> let's go back to van's point. >> can you name a majority caucasian population that the president doesn't want people from that yes. >> he wants the best and prietest. >> i'm waiting for him to say. there is problems there problems in norway, sweden. the idea he picks norway van go ahead. >> he met with the leader of norway yesterday. >> that's what was on his mind. >> he said asia. >> you can't have it both ways. >> you're asking for it both ways as well. he saw him yesterday. >> let me say a few things jason. >> he said asia. he generalize

. >> i think where we disagree, anderson, is that there is another explanation.e this investigation, the president conducts himself much in the same way, he often goes boldly where wiser men would not tread. of he often tries to manage issues, he often speaks directly to how he's feeling. this is not that different with how he deals with other areas. so the assumption that each of these acts has a criminal intent, ignores the facts that it's consistent with his acts outside of the investigation. >> there's no defense under the law that you have a big personality. if you fire the fbi director for an improper purpose, i don't care that you sometimes fly off the handle. i mean this is an act that is potentially at least, a violate of the law. >> jeffrey, you and i, i think agree, i think it was a terrible mistake to fire james comey. but there's a perfect alternative reason, many people had called for him to be fired and rod rosenstein had his memo that listed people on both sides includes attorneys general that said that he should go. you're assuming that might be

anderson is next. >>> good evening. we begin with a bombshell. a bombshell book by michael wolff which paints a figure of dysfunction in the trump came and white house and containing stunning quotes from steve bannon who is the president's top adviser, the one who stood by him even no one else would, even when the access hollywood tape hit. now implicating him in the russia probe and suggesting his oldest son and son-in-law committed treason. and he took michael wolff fire and fury inside of the white house, it is only part of the picture and how he operates in a white house under fire. wolff said he based the book on vofgss and interviews -- conversations and interviews with the senior staff, even the president himself. according to wolff's book, here is what steve bannon said about the june 16 meeting with jared kushner and paul manafort. quote, the three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government in trump tower on the 24th floor with no lawyers. with no lawyers. even if you thought that was patriot

i have to say, we like it. >> it works. >> president buell: terrific. >> clerk: public comment? >> president buell: let's go to commissioner comment. >> commissioner anderson: i would like to put a little pin on the public safety aspect. if we could start a conversation, if it hasn't already started, about helping san francisco police department collaborate and coordinate with the park patrol, like some feedback from the park patrol, for example, they don't share the radio. i feel like those communications should be a two-way street between park patrol and san francisco p.d. >> if you look outside the civic center, you see a ranger and police officer walking through and doing a -- some of this is dependent upon the chief at the moment and the priorities of the police department, but because our own ranger chief has done such a good job and has so much credibility with sfpd, the collaboration and cooperation has never been better. i would recommend that the organization still needs another 20-30 rangers. we said we should be at 80. when i started we were at 12. now we're at 45? right? and so we're not there yet with the amount of coverage. it's 24-7 operati

ac 360 with anderson begins right now. >>> we have breaking news right now on a new white house proposal for a path of citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants in exchange for the wall. but we begin keeping him honest with the unraveling of a conspiracy story. this one was created and promoted by elected officials on capitol hill, republicans all and part of it promoted by the president of the united states himself. there were two aspects to this collapsed conspiracy theory. one revolved around a single phrase that lawmakers claimed was evidence of a dangerous secret society in the fbi. the other revolve around missing text messages that show that high-level officials were trying to undermine president trump. today both parts of this theory crumbled spectacularly as they often do in the bright light of facts. let's take a look at what happened, because it tells the store eve lawmakers attempting to undermine the fbi. the secret society text message was part of an exchange between two fbi officials, peter strzok and lisa page. they were row maptsicalmantical and sent a variety

. >> anderson, think we could retire the dumpster fire because the bomb cyclone hit washington a day early. we saw that at the white house with the reaction of steve bannon. i've never seen a statement from the president like this aimed at somebody who works so closely with him and so high up in his administration. but let's put this up there. we could read it to you. it is pretty remarkable. steve bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. when he was fired he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. now that he is on his own, he's learning that winning isn't as easy as it i make it look. steve had very little influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue whom he helped write phony books. a couple of things, anderson, one is the white house press secretary sarah sanders did say the president is furious about all of this. and that is why we saw this statement from the president today. but keep in mind, and one thing we haven't mentioned, is that despite the fact that the president feels steve bannon lost his mind when he was fired last summer, he continued to take

have drinking water and worry about floods so we can't just predict the weather, but we're reducing the amount of water in those reservoirs especially anderson, which we think will be very helpful.rock springs was one of the areas hard hit by last years floods to look at it and the creek now, you'd never know there was a problem or that the creek could rise so high but in case it does, the water district has installed this 500 foot long vinyl wall that combined with a 400 foot long earthen berm are also designed to reduce the risk of flooding also that clean up work shifted into overdrive right after the floods has continued along the creek sotwe're removing vegetation trees and other obstructionsthe district has also installed more flood gauges to better determine what is actually happening in any given area.standup dan kerman/san jose 125-135this is just an interim fix .to really keep people safe the district wants to undertake a flood control project form montegue expressway to tully road. that will take several years and federal funding. the district and the army corpos of engineers are now working on a feasibility study. in san jose dan

number three, and here's what really troubles me, anderson, remember we started the day today with the tweet in which the president took credit for the fact there were no airplane crashes in the united states. what really troubles me about that, and all of other tweets and this latest tweet, we've gotten to a place, a very weird place where it doesn't really matter what the president of the united states says anymore because it is so bizarre, strange, not true, infantile. we never lived in a country where what the president of the united states says doesn't really matter. >> especially, congressman himes, when the next day or next week, whatever it may be, the white house comes out and says the president didn't mean that. he tweeted about the deep state department of justice and now the white house today said he didn't mean that, you know, the whole department of justice is part of the deep state. as if there is a deep state. >> i mean, that's precisely my point. i mean, in a point and time around the world in the middle east, certainly in north korea, in iran, where you would like the

schumer and the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell now from what we understand, some of this was by design, you recall, anderson, all weekend long we never saw the president, it was sort of the art of the conceal and that was by design we are told. they didn't want the president to be associated with the shut down. they did not want to think the president when they were watching it unfold and that is why the president stayed under wraps. >> moving forward will the president work with both parties to avoid another shutdown with both parties. >> he did that today. he met with a group of republicans and later senator manchin and doug jones. they didn't get a whole lot done there. a meet and greet session for jones and the president. however, it is an indication that the president is willing to meet with senators from both parties moving forward. the question is whethe the white house is asking too much from democrats. i talked to various sources in the administration today who said that a wall is simply not enough to get a deal to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers from deportation. it has to be a wall plus other items lik

but anderson as we were showing and you were outlining earlier, just seems to be a pattern here for thispresident. it's a disturbing pattern because it seems to come back to one truth here, that this president deep down may just be a racist. >> if you're saying you don't want more black people in this country coming from africa or haiti but white people from norway, hard to see that as anything else but in racist terms. >> and last summer when we had that exchange with stephen miller in the briefing room about the statue of liberty, i asked him, soubds like you're trying to engineer the racial and ethnic flow into this country. at the time miller said i was ignorant to make that suggestion. but as josh dawsey was saying, this administration not made a secret of immigration policy. it's to restrict the flow of people of color coming into this country. and president made that clear today. >> central america, mexico, muslim countries, haiti, anyplace in africa. jim acosta, appreciate the reporting. also point out in stark contrast to what donald trump as candidate said trying to get against

this is the first time that we know of, anderson of the president actually engaging in this and doingt had been seen as an option he was keeping open, and he was very consciously keeping it open last july in an interview with the "times". he has said i'm not thinking of firing robert mueller. obviously, it would have created a massive earthquake had he done so. >> let's just repeat this. this is really huge. this is june of this past year, 2017. >> caller: yep, that is correct. >> and he went through and asked don mcgann, the white house counsel to do that. >> caller: he ordered the firing of him, and mcgann said if this happens i will quit. and that is how it ultimately went away. mcgann is not the first person to quit to impact the president's behavior. john kelly, a few times in his tenure as chief of staff. >> it's hard to remember back in june, because it's six months or so ago it feels like ages ago, what else was happening around that time that would have led the president in that moment to, to try to fire mueller? >> caller: it's a great question. it was a couple months after

>> we are here now in denver, colorado. good evening to you guys, anderson and andy. oh, my god, randy's dose is kicking in. >> this is for andy. andy, this is for you. >> stephen: "andy! andy! this is for you. come on, it will get you so high you'll think you can pass a joint through a tv camera." >> stephen: in a flying with legless or aragone. >> are those dragons. >> stephen: okay! okay! yes. they are. you're a guest, so i'm going to say yes, they are. have you seen "lord of the rings?" >> i've seen "game of thrones." >> stephen: okay. bannon unloaded on don jr. for his infamous trump tower meeting with russians saying: so he thinks manafort, don jr., and kushner did something treasonous, unpatriotic and bad (bleep). coincidentally, those are also their secret service code names. ( laughter ) trump fired back hard. : now all he has to do is lose his dog, and he's going to have an awesome country song. ( cheers and applause ) still-- thank you very much. >> i've never been in a fight before. my entire life i haven't got in any fights. i'm undefeated. ( laughter ) i
