secretary of state rex tillerson taking full responsibility for it. vowing to get to the bottom of it. steven yates, deputy national security advisor to dick cheney and ceo of d.c., rebecca heinrichs from the hudson institute and foreign policy advisor to congressman trent franks. a lot going on with this. we talked to ambassador john bolton yesterday, steven, he said this is a problem for president trump and his administration. they've got to get ahold of this. we see these apologies for rex tillerson, the president himself, this a good start to tackling the problem? >> where they have to start. and i think they are in full agreement with the problems that our allies have complained about, totally unacceptable. compromises operational details. potentially signals the enemy in ways that are extremely unhelpful. and it's problem that's been there for the administration more broadly than these national security issues. i don't doubt for a moment that the president and his cabinet are very, very motivated. they have to start taking operational steps to c

. >> secretary of state rex tillerson is also traveling with the president. he spoke at a joint news conference championing the new relationship, a renewed relationship, that he hopes to foster with the saudis. >> and charting a renewed path toward a peaceful middle east, where economic development, trade, diplomacy, are hallmarks of the regional and global engagement, something we will be working closely together on. this growing partnership is really grounded in trust. trust between our two nations that we are pursuing the same objectives, cooperation and a shared interest. >> but as the world watches, the president of the united states take his first steps into diplomacy on a world stage, the storm cloud over the white house grows with two new explosive reports. sources tell cnn that russian officials bragged about their relationship with the former nsa adviser michael flynn, before he was fired, and believed they could use him to influence donald trump. and "the new york times" reports that during his meeting with russian officials earlier this month in t

there was very much shared language between rex tillerson and his counterpart, calling on a run to fight the network of terrorists in iran. but there are some observers who believe that saudi arabia exaggerates the involvement of iran across the region. the idea that we are exaggerating the fact about iran is, i don't see that to be accurate at all. why? because it is not only us saying that. it's actually the whole world is saying it. they treasury department, they just sanctioned hezbollah in syria. we are talking about a region which has 75 syrian backed militias in iraq. just in iraq. they are destabilising iraq. they are getting involved in syria. they are killing more than 600,000 people in syria. and displacing 12 million people there. we are not exaggerating here. we are seeing houthi militias that are operating in yemen and killing on a daily basis. we are not exaggerating. we are not exaggerating at all. we are putting our hands on the facts are nothing but the facts. and we need the whole world, the united states, and the global community, to basically confront iran, because t

rex tillerson is in favor of staying with the paris climate accord. he met with scott pruitt of the epa. scott pruitt is in favor of pulling out. and look, let's be clear. president obama circumvented congress on this as we did with so many other things. that puts this climate deal in the president's hands. if the president had gone through congress, then president trump would have to go through congress. if president obama had gone through congress. keep in mind also that president clinton signed on to the 1998 kyoto accord and a sense of the senate vote back then in '98 had zero votes in favor of the kyoto accord which has been roundly ignored by china and india. >> jenna: that was one of senator's issues with the paris climate agreement. he didn't like that president obama did go around congress and didn't like that way, managing this particular issue. i was reading an article in "the wall street journal" today, an op ed piece. this is written by the top national security adviser to the president. i'm curious about this particular point. this sort
