not just john bolton. president trump dressed her down during that cabinet meeting over immigration, essentially saying what john bolton said today, you're not doing your job. you need to step it up. that was a pretty ugly cabinet argument as well where kirstjen nielsen pushed back on president trump saying she was doing the best she could and the attorney general jeff sessions toad up for her, but the bottom line is president trump does not feel that she's doing her job. he's incensed by these reports about the border crossing, and that causes problems in the west wing because john kelly is really loyal to kirstjen nielsen and that creates a divide between he and president trump and now he and the national security adviser. >> an art cam the other day in the new york magazine where the president made a show of pretending that he really likes john kelly. >> that's right. he says he's going to stay on. when it was reported weeks on he would like to see him stay on until 2022, john kelly was quick to tell th

bolton and whether or not heard john bolton's hawkish stance will stand here in moscow. well let's take a look at how we reached this point. the arms race is getting out of control. i'm with you we did not initiate this kind of events as you know there was no we pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed and developing it stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations and look at the shit we are in response to the threats that confronted us we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities remain i'm just we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have to go additionally if our american. greenland's who will give an immediate and reciprocal response. russia has violated the agreement they've been violated here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate for pullout. we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement they go out of their weapons that we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stayed in the

john bolton laughed along with that and made nice. john bolton was asked about russian meddling in the u.s. election and asked if he brought that up with president putin, or with his other russian hosts. john bolton said that the russian meddling did not have an impact on the outcome of the 2016 election. that was his take on that issue while he was in russia. bolton and putin then announced plans for president putin to meet with president trump next month in paris. putin brought that up today at their meeting. bolton responded by saying president trump is looking very much forward to seeing president putin at that meeting. real tough talk from john bolton today in russia, right? justice department unseals a new indictment the day he leaves for moscow detailing how moscow at this moment is meddling in our current elections. john bolton gets over to russia and says, ah, this meddling. you guys want to get together later? he then sits across from putin and listens as putin mocks american symbols. and brags about how he's got the america

and personally from mr trump what he did he basically just yesterday as bolton john bolton was here kind of explaining america's position on the i.n.f. treaty a crucial treaty on. the terror and think some promise to keep bolstering its nuclear. capabilities unless well other countries grovel really i should say so all that happened while mr bolton was here. listen. russia has noted here in the agreement this should have been done years ago but still people come to this country we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they come to their senses when they will then we'll all be large and well done and by the way not only will read you. so just to give you some background john bolton's visit to moscow had been planned in advance but right before the donald trump made a very strong statement saying that he was going to pull out of the treaty unilaterally so mostly his advisor here has had some explanation most of explanation to do on just on monday this monday he said that apparently the united states still do not have a solid position on that they are not pul

bolton and whether or not john bolton's hawkish stance will stand here and mosco he had a few talking points are certainly expected you are showing off bringing us the latest. of tension has indeed been growing between moscow and washington over the pact for quite some time here's a look at how we reached this point. this is how you sort out a major nuclear crisis and make the world a bit more of a safer place ninety eighty seven the u.s. and soviet leaders got together and banned ground launched intermediate range ballistic missiles and this is an example of how leaders can perhaps make the world more dangerous brush as violated the agreement they've been violated to get for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. and we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stated in the agreement and we bonded to agreement but russia has not fortunately honored the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out well donald trump does have some

john bolton is in moscow as we speak for talks are you encouraged by that is that a good sign. yes that i think that is very important and i hope that this trip and these announcements will be the beginning of a series of conversations about strategic arms about arms control rather than the end of a treaty that has served everybody rather well and therefore i believe that john bolton being in moscow and briefing the russian side on the intentions of his administration is a positive sign i believe however that we need briefings from him or other senior officials in the united states administration and nato as well which is why we are calling on the german government to ask for a special nato summit on arms control and the i.n.f. treaty and what with that special nato summit meeting accomplish well in that context the united states could explain what the strategy is behind their announcements because so far we have the announcement we cannot recognize a strategy what is the intention is there a change in the nuclear posture is there a pushback against russian hybrid warfare that

but how could john kelly and john bolton agree over immigration. a lot of it goes back to secretary nielsen and what john bolton said about her. he was really empowered as a national security adviser about didn't have to answer to john kelly like we saw h.r. mcmaster do. >> we've heard repeatedly that president trump doesn't mike arguments. but at what point, i'm not sure that's really point, but at what point does it start to negatively impact governing? >> oh, i think if you have a situation that basically bolton and kelly aren't speaking to each other, that would definitely hamper the internal operations of the white house. i do think there's a new element here, anderson, since we last visited this question, and that is that president trump has introduced the notion of sending troops to the border. u.s. troops. that is something general kelly, coming out of his military background, is likely to oppose very strenuously. but we have this caravan coming up from about 4,000 now, who have left honduras and coming through guatemala up to the u.s. bord

bolton adding to john kelly's fury. he's not traveling to the president to montana, wasn't scheduled to, but john bolton kept about his schedule going on with meetings this afternoon. a really ugly fight that startled people in the west wing and that sees a lot because they see a lot of fights here. >> david? >> these are both tough guys with very thick skin. >> does john kelly have thick skin? >> john kelly has pretty thick skin and it's a very small space. people think watching the show on tv it's this expansive. >> it's not. >> very tiny. >> if there's an argument outside the west wing you can hear it standing in the briefing room. >> it's pretty tight quarters, so when you have much more than a hush tone conversation it can be heard. look, these folks -- neither of these guys are shrinking violets. they are pretty forceful in their opinions, but, you know, i -- i don't -- i don't take it as much. i think there's been a lot of back and forth between this chief of staff and, look, john bolton is a guy who has very str

as we speak, john bolton is in the meeting with his counterpart. that is the main meat and potatoes meeting to discuss the range of issues. that is very important as well. the treaty signed in 1987. it got rid of 2,700 nuclear weapons in europe and in russia as well. the u.s. has been accusing russia of violating the treaty over the last couple years. the russians reject that. they continue to reject it. they say there is no evidence that is happening. they accuse the u.s. of breaching the treaty for working on the missile defense system which the u.s. has wanted to deploy a long time. the chinese have commented on this, which is interesting, dave. he feels it puts the u.s. at disadvantage toward a resurgent china which can develop any weapons it wants because it is not part of the treaty. china rejecting that and criticizing the united states. >> round and round with we go. fred, thank you. >>> a check of cnn business. the lottery jackpot in uncharted territory. more than $2 billion up for grabs. from two potential lottery wins. megamillions with

i did catch up with john bolton earlier today, and i asked him whether or not the u.s. is really pulling out or whether there might be some wiggle room for negotiations and how the russians are taking all this. here's what he said. >> the russians been quite understanding for your reasoning when you explain it to them? >> well, i think their preference as they have stated is we not withdraw, but i think we have given them reasons why we're going to do that and they understand the reasons quite clearly. some of which i think they fully appreciate from their own strategic perspective. i think the president could not have been clearer, not just on saturday but yesterday as to what his decision is. >> so there you have john bolton earlier today. we're waiting for him here outside in central moscow. he said he'll have a press conference after the meeting with vladimir putin. we'll keep you posted on what comes out of that as well. >> thanks so much. >>> joining me right now, cnn national security analyst, former senior adviser to the security council under president obama. s

bolton john bolton has never seen a war they didn't want to fight he's never seen a treaty that he likes he was a large part influential when george w. bush pulled out of the a.b.m. treaty in two thousand and one or in two thousand and two when the from they pulled out he calls for he's opposed to extending the new start treaty in two thousand and eleven even before the accusations about the russians cheating on the i.n.f. treaty he called for abrogating the i.m.f. treaty the fact that bolton of all people is the one who's actually conducting these discussions is very very serious and we know the bolton strongly influenced trump's decision to abrogate the i.n.f. treaty but what do you think donald trump's final goal in this then is because at every opportunity gets he wants to talk about complete nuclear disarmament he said for the past few years whenever he gets the opportunity it's his big number one priority so what's the thinking here because president obama was convinced out of not dropping out of this treaty but donald trump is and yet he's the one ofa nuclear disarmament apparentl

again john bolton said earlier he compared pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty with pulling out of the antiballistic missile treaty back in two thousand and two other comparable is this all being overhyped. well this is this is this is mainly to be done for the purposes of the military industrial complex there's billions and billions of dollars at stake when they get out of this treaty that raytheon and all the rest of the big companies we manufacturing these missiles installing them in europe and it's very scary prospect so i think bad things happen when the a.b.m. treaty was abandoned this is probably worse. it's. this is ronald reagan's last great achievement these people are always praising ronald reagan but now they just tossed him overboard and his his his final great achievement with prime minister gorbachev so it's it's a terrible thing bolton of course is a neo con but the neo cons are warmongers they long advocated a first strike against the soviet union many of them advocated for a strike against russia so is this what this is about to make a f

kelly and john bolton. but don, you've been in the west wing before. it's than big of a place although it seems like to on tv. it's quite small. if you're yelling you can hear it from the briefing room. certainly something a lot of staffers knew about. it startled a lot of people. where it goes if here and whether or not john kelly makes a decision about resigning is still to be determined but it does lay bare the power dynamic in the west wing and it shows john bolton certainly does not think he answers to the chief of staff here. >> kaitlan collins, thank you very much. i appreciate it. i want to bring in david axelrod now, former senior adviser to president barack obama. so listen, you've been there before. good evening to you, david. things get heated here in the newsroom. people, you know, have arguments or whatever. but what did you think when you heard about this fight between bolton and kelly over a surge in border crossings? >> well, a few things. first of all, yes. in fairness these things happen

obviously john bolton and he's back shed till he doesn't have really really have time to switch to moscow's time zone here indeed he has kicked off his meeting spree by sitting down with russia's head of security council they talked about all sorts of things mostly military and conflict he things syria afghanistan all sorts of nonproliferation treaties like for example when it comes to chemical weapons and nuclear weapons but of course the big topic they both kind of briefly touched upon was this i.n.f. treaty russia has once again stressed that it does want to cooperate with the united states and whatever differences besides may be in countering right now should be solved through dialogue the pinnacle of two nights of tonight should be his meeting with russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov he has already how do you media conference earlier today and stressed that it is important for all to kind of refrain from any speculation when it comes to the u.s. apparent desire to pull out of the treaty have a lesson. in usual in regards to the u.s. position on the i.n.f. treaty i have yet to see t

don't trust national security adviser john bolton's meeting with russian president vladimir putin in moscow these pictures just in it comes just a day off to the american president thread to build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to the senses so a free vote to scrap the nuclear treaty with russia that's been in force for almost three decades. here to the agreement they should have been done years ago but still people come to this that we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up until they got this when they. were old guard. and by the way not only. the treaty in question the i.m.f. for the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty of one thousand nine hundred eighty seven it restricts what kind of nuclear weapons can be constructed it essentially outlaws short range and intermediate range nuclear weapons nuclear missiles from being constructed it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven it was seen as a key moment in ending the cold war deescalating the conflict between the usa and the soviet union now we know john bolton is at

troops withdrawal from syria but now john bolton sas that u.s. soldiers will not pull out from syria into iran with drones its forces like you said so has the u.s. strategy in syria officially altered from combat in paris to countering iran or is that part of the whole anti run dry. i think that's part of it and if you know the neo conservative philosophy like i know the neo conservative philosophy you know that their big target is iran their fascinations their fixation is iran i think they might be getting ready to be surprised personally i'll put my. magic hat on and say that i think we're going to have a singapore moment with regard to iran and i think the president is going to turn the tables on john bolton mike pompei o and the rest of those nutcases in the administration i think we're going to have an extended invitation to rouhani to zarif and trump is going to find a city geneva comes to mind and they're going to sit down if ronnie and zarif will of interleague accept and trump is going to go to that meeting and he's going to sit down wit

national security advisor john bolton is in moscow for talks amid fears of a new arms race this after washington said it's ready to pull out of an historic treaty on intermediate range nuclear missiles plus president trump says thousands of central american migrants marching towards the u.s. water are a national emergency he says he's putting the u.s. military and border guards on alert. and also coming up the terrible choices facing families fleeing syria. but often i stopped going to school on the seventh grade because i got engaged my mother no ten she came and told her that he wanted me and that was that we have the story of a syrian child bride living in lebanon on her mother says marrying off her fourteen year old is the only way they can all survive. thank you so much for your company everyone well we begin this broadcast with saudi arabia's evolving explanation of just how saudi journalist from official she was killed turkey's ruling party has said kushal she was the victim of a mom. auster asleep planned murder at the hands of riyadh saudi arabia meanwhile says she died in a

bolton and whether or not heard john bolton's hawkish stance will stand here in moscow. all eyes on that but while we wait for that let's one of the clock back a bit and take a look at how we reached this point. if. the arms race is getting out of control. we did not initiate this kind of events as you know it was not we pulled out of the antiballistic missile treaty russia has developed and developing a stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade in direct violation of its treaty obligations to look at because we are in response to the threats that confronted us we're moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure their capabilities remain on match we will never allow anybody to have anything even close to what we have to go with usually if our american partners the agreement will give an immediate and reciprocal response. russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate for full out. that we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement thank you out of their wea

bolton and whether or not heard john bolton's hawkish stance will stand here in moscow yet or we are in a couple of hours time will be across it now meantime the european union is concerned that america's pull over from the treaty will create more instability worldwide and that thought was echoed to by russia's foreign affairs committee i spoke to constantine kasich off just last hour. before the united states drops the agreement and then proceeds with deploying. medium range missiles let's say in poland or in the baltic states that will definitely mean a completely new military threat towards russia because these missiles will be will have capacity of reaching russian areas far beyond the ural mountains and there is definitely substantial threat towards russian national security or they do not need any longer any agreements in the field of strategic armaments and intermedia missiles and all that stuff because this would create equal opportunities equal circumstances for each party involved in a certain agreement and this is what they would not like to accept any longer they are they

it's john bolton. if this november meeting takes place, it would be the first face-to-face meeting since the july summit in helsinki, where the president took questions about election meddling with putin standing right there next to him, still viewed by so many as a low point in his presidency. >> just now president putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. every intelligence agency has concluded that russia did. who do you believe? >> president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> president putin, did you want president trump to win the election? >> translator: yes, i did. >> the president did try to clear all that up when he came home, but the damage was largely done. today in moscow, john bolton said he talked with putin about election interference generally, and he was asked if he thought russia was trying to meddle in the upcoming vote just two weeks away here. >> we're obviously monitoring the potential f
