of "the new york times." >> what cartoon? >> what cartoon. you've really been working on that book. i'm impressed. you've probably seen this, this image of president trump led around by benjamin net y netany. and there were a lot of people who saw this and thought, this isn't just dog whistle little anti-semitism. this is out and out anti-semiti anti-semitism. what's it been like with you at "the new york times" to be wrestling with this moment? what's the conversation like? >> i was on book leave when the cartoon was published, but i recommend you reading -- brett stevens had an excellent column that summed up my views of the thing. the takeaway, right, is if anti-zionism becomes a normative political view, this is what follows. so it's one thing to believe in a college seminar where you're talking about an arcism or abolishing the nation state. okay. there you can have a conversation about should nation states exist. was this a good idea? should there have been partition in pakistan? it's an intellectual discussion. but in

interviews like the new york times, not specifically but interviews like the new york times and then i think about the new york times, during the holocaust new york times did all it could to cover up the slaughter of the jews. during the holocaust the new york times, the american people didn't even learn until 1944 but the owners of that newspaper knew full well what was going on because they were trying to get their family out of germany. it wasn't just the new york times, it was the washington post in the american media yet we've reached a point in our country were summary like you, a very righteous man, a man who spends his time and his effort trying to get fax out, knowledge out, talking to millions of people, organizing millions of people to vary just because, you are supposed to believe out there on the fringes. they on the other hand are the rational spokesman for the modern society. when we returned, i want to know what you think about that. we'll be right back. what's going on up here? can't see what it is yet. what is that? that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this

the new york quoted me as -- "the new york times" quoted me as saying that. i voted for this i asked all the members to vote for it. for a number of reasons. but one of them was i didn't want to see this congress split over something like this why are we policing something of this nature? why does congress think that we should police the speech of members on the floor here or especially if it doesn't violent the rules. or outside the chambers. never in the history of the united states house of representatives has a been removed from committees because of even an accurate quote by the press outside these walls that didn't take place in this building or on this capitol grounds in any way whatsoever. never has even an accurate quote been used to sanction a member of congress. so we have instead a misquote that was in a 56-minute telephoned interview with "the new york times" reporter who -- our leader, kevin mccarthy, said he could type as fast as anybody can talk and pageant wait accurately. i'm wondering why he stopped me a couple of times and asked me to repe

that's according to "the new york times." thousands of undocumented migrants and their families will be targeted in at least ten cities. and "the times" reports it might detain agents who are the scene. first the severe weather threat in louisiana, and tasha chen is live in new orleans which has received so much rain already. >> you can't tell from the weather we're having right at this moment, but yesterday there was intense amount of rain and even over the next few days more expected. in fact there's a flash flood watch and storm surge watch going on in various parts of this area. there's mandatory evacuation today for certain parts of the parish and oil recognizes and platforms, several of them have been evacuated because of storm activity in the gulf. a lot of people here preparing for the worst about to come on saturday including closing dozens of flood gates. that includes one floodgate here at the port of new orleans where we're standing. they've already started closing pedestrian gates by the spanish plaza, river walk

unhinged, "the new york times." i call it the failing "new york times" for a reason. check their unfunded liability and see what they're worth. they're already a failed "new york times." when we write a story like that, i went to my people and they said, sir, it's not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed for months. and it turned out it wasn't manufactured. we were right about that. we told them that the detention centers are really full, and they got to change the loopholes and the asylum and the immigration laws. we can do it quickly, but we have no way to do it because the democrats -- but "the new york times" story is a fabrication. now, i look -- i had people there that told me the job that they are doing is incredible. in all cases, if you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty, they had no water or a anything where they came from, those are people that are very happy with what's going on because relatively speaking, they're in much better shape right now. th

the new york times, i call it the failing new york times for a reason. check out their unfunded liability and see what they are worth. they are already a failed new york times, but when they write a story like that, i went to my people, and they said sir, it is not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed and they stopped the money, and then it turns out that it wasn't manufactured. there's a crisis. we were right about that. we told them that the detention centers are really full. and they've got to change the loopholes and change asylum. they have to change the immigration laws. we could do it quickly, but we have no votes to do it because the democrats won't vote. we need someone to vote. but the new york times story is a fabrication. now, i saw visually, i have people there that tell me the job they are doing is incredible, and in all cases, if you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty, that had no water, had no anything, where they came from, those are people that are very happy with what's going on b

since you see them in the new york times and places like that. i wanted to let you know how sensitive the results are. you find in fact is a negative relationship that more guns are associated with a slightly lower homicide rates. if you add in brazil and russia, it makes it even more negative. even if you include the united states in there. the thing is, with the united states supposedly way out here by itself. i'm using their low numbers for guns for switzerland and israel over here. the united states here all by itself pulls up the line. if you were to fix switzerland and israel, those would be way out here and they'd pull the line back down by themselves. so i just want you to know how sensitive these results are and how it depends on one observation and how they are excluding some of the other observations that are there. if you were to look at all countries. not just developed countries. you find the countries that have the most guns have the lowest homicide rates. and you can look at it again. you find the countries with the most gun owner

york times," they have four votes and she was also right about that. they have four votes. and so i think she's kind of saying to them, i'm not going to roll over for you and you need to understand where i'm coming from. and how important these issues are and so, yeah, there is a rift in the democratic party. >> that was a low blow i thought for nancy pelosi to go and talk to maureen dowd in this piece in "the new york times" and sort of trash the younger members who do have a following and do have a perspective and it is not just all on twitter. it is an entire wing of the democratic party. so for her i think to come and say oh, with you should make nice, well nancy pelosi, you were trashing them in the pages of the "new york times" very publicly. >> she was -- there is a serious rift that has emerged. house the white house viewing this. >> with glee. they love division with the democratic party that is -- part of it saying the president should be impeached and the other had a half is is conducting widespread investigation news the president and then

i think anything "the new york times" writes nowadays, they use the word unhinged, "the new york times," when me write a story like that, i went to my people and they said, sir, it's not true. we told them about a crisis. they said it was manufactured. they laughed, but "the new york times" story is a fabrication. i had people there that told me the job they are doing is incredible. >> okay. so i know you're shaking your head and i have a minute left with you. briefly, what were you writing about and what is your response to the president? >> my colleagues and i for that story talked to border patrol agents and they were our primary sources, agents who worked at the facility in clint, texas, and told us what they saw. the idea that is a fabrication is completely ridiculous. these are people who have firsthand knowledge of the conditions. but if you don't believe them, you can look at inspector general reports that the department of homeland security has created and they corroborate the conditions that we wrote about in the facilities and so when you have the agency that runs the facili

this is according to "the new york times." the trump administration is going after migrant families in at least ten cities with deportation orders already in place. and agents might even detain immigrant who is happen to be on the scene even if they were not the target. so we'll have more on that in a moment. but let's begin with tropical storm system that is threatening louisiana. natasha chen is live in new orleans, what's the situation there? >> well, the concern is how high this mississippi river is going to get. so the flood protection authority is in the process of closing dozens of flood gates including one here at the port of new orleans where we are. that'll be closed by 5% eastern today. they've been closing pedestrian gates as well. places like the river walk. these are really popular tourist spots and we're seeing a lot of tourists in town. some of them saying they want to stick it out inside their hotel rooms. we also saw some people getting in a car really early this morning headed straight back for the airport.

did the left, did "the new york times" have a problem with this? they are talking about tanks rolling down pennsylvania avenue, we have two static tanks and two armored personnel carriers, so that will be four static vehicles. this is the insanity of the left. charlie is right. it is the people who wear the cloth of the republic that make our freedoms possible. and there is no greater show of respect then to see them fly above us and to see them parade down our streets and for us to think them at least once a year for our liberty, gregg. >> gregg: behind you is the lincoln memorial and the washington -- they would be scratching their heads if they saw the reaction. >> they would be horrified. >> gregg: absolutely. >> it will be on the lincoln memorial, abraham lincoln had his flaws too, he over oversaw horrible things. remember him for his merits and his virtues, they superseded anything he did incorrectly. in the history of the left, so morally reprehensible, we saw it to rear its head with the betsy ross episode with nike, and we see it with a de

but "the new york times,"de god bless them, their opinionn. team tweeted out a video to let you know that american greatness is a myth. take a look. >> we got so caught up in the rhetoric about america being the greatest country on earth that we have long ignored the cracks in our system. and while a bit of patriotism is great, jingoism is dangerous. especially when it is built on old or fake news. so as we gear up for another election season where politicians tell us that america is great or that it isn't and then proceed to make it worse. let's try a truthful approach. america may have once been the greatest, but today america, we are just okay. >> gregg: you got that? we are just okay. also, this week, city officials in thomas jefferson's hometown voted to no longer celebrate his birthday because the third president and declaration of independence author owned slaves. joining us now with reaction is victor davispe hanson. so, we are just okay, because our health care is not the greatest, in their opinion, and education is not good enough. a

"the new york times," it really is fake news. thank you, everybody. >> let's get to cnn's natasha chen in el paso, texas. tell us more about this "new york times" reporting and what kind of reaction you are getting from texas lawmakers. >> yeah, well, ana, "the new york times" and el paso times here work together to interview about a dozen border patrol agents about the very real issues inside these facilities. and we also talked to representative -- state representative mary gonzalez who represents that clint area where the facility is. she also spoke to "the new york times" for that article after she got a lot of stories from the border patrol agents who live in this area. now just to be clear, she was told by agents that back in may, there were as many as 700 kids in a place that was designed for about 100. and those 700 kids were using two shower facilities. it's gotten a lot better. she visited last monday when it was down to 25 kids using an increased eight shower facilities. that's a lot better. but also she was talking ab

if you look at places like the new york times, this from a graph in the new york times. they will argue gun ownership has been falling over time. now about 30 percent of american households own a gun. and the one survey that they rely on is something called the general social survey. i will give you a story. a few years ago i got a call from a producer at abcnews. they were doing a story, a series of stories about the risks of guns in the home. and i was talking to them for about an hour and and a half hours into the conversation she made the comments, at least this won't be too much of a problem in the future because fewer and fewer homes will have guns. and i said well not really sure. i said i assume that you are relying on the general social survey. and she said yeah. i said you know that abcnews, you have your own survey? and your own survey does not show the drop that it shows as basically flat over time as a percentage of the population? and she didn't believe me. and i said i can send you a copy of your own survey. and so i did that. and a couple of days later, a

that is according to "the new york times." thousands of undocumented migrants and their families will be targeted in at least ten cities in a time that they might detain those on the scene even if they were not the targets of the raids. and there are new details in this report about what happens to children, babies detained with their parents. we'll bring you those details shortly. >>> but first, the severe weather in louisiana. natasha chen live in new orleans. there's already been so much rain. >> reporter: that's right. people here yesterday saw intense amounts of rain during their morning commute. it caused a flash flood emergency in addition to a tornado warning yesterday. luckily throughout the day, it dried out. as you can see this morning, right now it is relatively dry. we are expecting, though, much worse as we head into saturday. as people prepare for that, the flood protection authority here is closing more than 200 out of a total of 250 flood gates. they started to do that already and even by the end of today by 5

the "new york times" called it a master piece of drama. new video on north korean television shows the step into north korea in slow motion. here's the president a short time later. >> it was an honor to be with you. it was an honor you asked me to step over that line. i am proud to have stepped over the line. it was great, very historic. >> after the nearly hour long meeting with kim jong-un, hints at where all of this stage craft may be headed. the "new york times" reporting that the administration is working on a dole that would include a nuclear freeze in other words accepting essentially the status quo, short of what the president promised which was full denuclearization. richard engle is in seoul south korea. if this kind of deal were to be made -- the white house is pushing back a bit this morning -- what could it do politically? obviously it could set the bar for a president. it is more achievable than denuclearization. as the "new york times" reports this approach would not mean existing weapons are dismantled, wouldn't limit the

like the new york times. not specifically necessarily but then i think about the new york times. during thek holocaust they covered up the slaughter of the jews. during the holocaust the new york times was a mouthpiece for the roosevelt administrationim they don't even know how hostile until 1944 it wasn't just the new york times but the washington post in the american media were somebody like you in our country a very righteous man trying to get the facts and the knowledge out and talking to millions of people. you are out there on the fringes but they on the other hand are the rational spokesman for the modern society. when we return i want you to know one - - want to know what you think about that. we will be right back. saved hun. that's a win. but it's not the only reason i switched. geico's a company i can trust, with over 75 years of great savings and service. ♪ now that's a win-win. switch to geico. it's a win-win. and is the fastest growing place to buy a car in the nation. carvana is six years old this year switch to geico. it's because we have thousands of people wor

and he said i read this "new york times" story with curiosity. neither the nsc staff nor i have discussed or heard of any desire to, quote, settle for a nuclear freeze by north korea. so john bolton, who is known as a hawk, teased by even the president as being more hawkish than donald trump himself, certainly has taken a hardline position, and he and the secretary of state were given credit, if that's the right term, for encouraging the president to pull back after summit number 2 at vietnam where north korea wanted sanctions relief for closing one of its prominent nuclear facility sites but concern they have developed their program beyond that. john bolton is definitely a hawk and saying that the president is being boxed in potentially by this strategy of this report coming out of the "new york times" to push him in that direction. bolton is saying not so fast. we don't yet know what the president thinks about this. >> kelly o'donnell at the white house. richard, let me go with reaction and talk through a little bit on what we have seen from no

all of this as the "new york times" is reporting the u.s. may be willing to agree to a nuclear freeze. which would pause further weapons development in north korea, but allow it to keep existing weapons. this would be a reversal for the trump administration's previous goal of complete denuclearization by north korea. white house national security adviser john bolton slammed the report, tweeting, i read this "new york times" story with curiosity, no staff for i have discussed any desire to settle for a nuclear freeze by north korea. this was a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the president. there should be consequences. bolton, who has been a strong advocate for full denuclearization of north korea was in mongolia and not press for the trump meeting with kim. after the kim meeting, he took aim at the administration. >> president obama wanted to meet and chairman kim would not meet him. the obama administration was begging for a meeting, begging for meetings constantly. and chairman kim would not meet with him. >> reporter: that prom

the new york times for 25 years. epstein was previously charged with similar crimes during this same time period. a lot of people called it the deal of a lifetime, and part of it was to avoid federal charges. how can we now face it federal charges? >> i call it complete and total injustice. fortunately those kind of nonprosecution agreements are usually specific to the district that gives them to the defendant. epstein got this from the southern district of florida when secretary acosta was the u.s. attorney. that is not binding on other districts including the southern district of new york. i also will know more tomorrow, but i would expect to see this district has built out a bigger case with bigger facts. we'll know more tomorrow. >> it was dogged reporting that this case, the story wide open. talk about the power of journalism. >> it really is an example of incredible local reporting by the miami herald and particularly one julie cay brown who stayed on this and would not accept this ridiculous deal that this guy

inquiry just this week, and michelle goldberg, columnist for "the new york times." congresswom congresswoman, last night nobody brought up impeachment. they're running against trump, and they never bring it up. what do you think that's about? >> well, i don't think they were asked about impeachment by the they're yater, and they were trying to present themselves, show they were strong and talk about maybe too many intricacies of policy. >> you mean to tell me that politicians need to have the interviewer bring up a topic? i've been following this thing for 100 years. i got to tell you something, you politicians have no problem bringing up a topic if you want. to why didn't anybody want to bring it up last night? >> well, i don't think it has to do with the fact that they don't support impeachment, because the presidential candidates were some of the first to come out in favor of it. i just think they were more focused on comparing themselves to each other than they were to attacking the president. >> well said. well said. thank you. second question, why do most demo

he said, i read this "new york times" story with curiosity. neither the staff nor i have discussed or heard to settle for a nuclear freeze by north korea. this was a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the president. there should be consequences. i will note he wasn't next to the president. tucker carlson was from fox. i don't know if john bolton is in the inner circle in this. he may be, but he may not know the most right now. thank you, friends. >>> we have more breaking news. hundreds of protesters are clashing with police. some trying to break into hong kong's legislature. the demonstrations come on the 22nd anniversary of the british return to china. our nic robertson has been in the middle of this witnessing some remarkable scenes. he's outside the legislative council right now with with the latest details. in nic? >> reporter: this has been an extraordinary day. every year for the last 22 years on the first of july, the people of hong kong come out to demonstrate to have a show of their thoughts about the britain handing over to

"the new york times" reports that the news reports tipped off the communities about what to expect. if that was supposed to kept secret, this doesn't help. >> they're going to bring people out and bring them back to their countries. >> according to "the new york times," a secondary scale plane. it calls for apprehensions over a week ago or something. pressed by jake tapper on state of the union. >> can you guarantee that no parents will be separating from their children in the raids? >> in the wsame way i can't comment on a operational detail. >> there's people without families with removal orders. the priority is for i.c.e. to get the criminals. >> activists that some took to get prepared for the raids. >> reporter: the pro-migrant community, pushing forward. regardless of if they lack status to be in the country. we've heard from participants, saying they oppose the hard-line immigration policies. as they describe it, dehumanizing approach. when you hear from some of the folks that represent these communities, they are outraged. you hear from catalina cruz, who spent a large time

they teamed up with the "new york times" for this report. what is your reaction to president trump saying quote "the new york times" story is a fabrication? >> well, generally a journalist can't share his opinion but in this reference, i'll just say that we stand by our reporting, and i stand with the "new york times" and "el paso times" in this reporting this story. >> i think you've covered ground we haven't seen before as thoroughly and that is border patrol agents themselves as sources and former border patrol agents as sources and we get a wider frame on the picture of who they are as human beings. they -- many of them seem very, very concerned about what is happening to those kids. >> sure. plenty of border patrol agents are neighbors, many of them joined the agency here in el paso and certainly many people in el paso know a border patrol agent or cbp agent and this reporting, yes, you'll see a little bit of take, if you will, of what a bp agent might tell their family member, what they might talk with their friends after work, simply

"the new york times" has done extraordinariy reporting. we started the week, i think peter was here monday, talking about extraordinary reporting partnered with the local paper at the border, about what border -- what has to break? what has to break for this to stop? >> what you're feeling right now, i share it. it's a feeling of being alive at a time of atrocity. and that's what is happening right now. it does feel like we have this slow-moving human catastrophe and it's our names as americans. he started out by saying i will protect you from criminals and gangs and rapists and instead women and children and fathers dyeing for the sake of their children to try to get into this country. >> face down in the river. >> exactly. so this is actually something that has turned the tide for many americans who are politically in the middle. you have had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets on july 2 there was a day of action. there's another one planned for tomorrow. this is actually -- i mean, in some ways i think the democrats need to b

york times" report? >> so, you're asking -- >> the stench of children's dirty clothing was so strong it spread to the agents'. they had scabies, chickenpox. why did you say unsubstantiated? >> you referenced three things that were unsubstantiated. inadequate food, inadequate water and uncleaned cells. none of those have been substantiated. what i have a responsibility, independent office that oversees our operations report that went to clint station in the same time period. >> do you think they're still unsubstantiated, given the "the new york times" -- these specific allegations. >> this is an extraordinarily challenging situation. we had an overflow situation, with hundreds of children crossing every day. that's why we were asking for funding to provide adequate bed space. so they the children could be moved into more adequate. so, i'm not denying that there are challenging situations at the border. i have been talking about it the most. what can i tell you right now, there's adequate food, water. the

new york times" story is a fabrication. now, i look at things and they -- i saw visually. i have people there that told me the job they are doing is incredible. >> reporter: the joint investigation from "the new york times" and "el paso times" is from accounts of unnamed border patrol agents, who saw outbreaks of scabies, shingles, chickenpox, among the children in cramped cells. the stench of the dirty clothing so strong, it spread to the agents' own clothing. no pictures from inside the facility accompany the article. but these images show the, quote, dangerous overcrowding in other texas holding facilities. some adults in these cells, being held for a month at a time, with limited or no showers. you can see their hands pressed against the windows. the president indicating migrants are being held in better conditions here than in their home countries. >> if you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty, that had no water, they had no anything. where they came from, those are people that are happy with what's going

if "the new york times" reporting is correct, it appears the u.s. is going to significantly lower the bar for what they want to accomplish here. >> reporter: well, that's right, dave. "the new york times" is saying that officials are telling them that they are considering going for the step-by-step approach when it comes to denuclearization. it's something north korea wants. it's something quite frankly that most experts will say is far more realistic which is what they are trying for now, which is complete denuclearization. we have seen that administrations in the past try this and we've seen them fail, but the fact is there is a consensus definitely here in the region that north korea is not going to give up its nuclear weapons just like that. in fact, some say they won't give up their nuclear weapons at all.

york times." gordon, i want to start with you about this tweet that the president sent out talking about kim jong-un and how healthy he looks and how really, really well he is. what is that tweet an answer to? >> this is really strange. it's an answer to certain observers who were there yesterday and heard kim wheeze. you remember kim walked from what the north koreans call the monkey house to the demilitarization line and over to the summit house. they said he was really winded and i think what president trump was doing is responding to that narrative that's been carried on one of the other cable networks. >> ashley, donald trump appeared this weekend, or at least he said this weekend he advanced u.s. interests. what's the word from white house staff on what actually happened? >> one thing that's been tricky is when they have been pressed publicly and privately, other than the fact that yes, it had the drama and the showmanship the president loves and it was historic in the fact that he became th

they knocked down that new york time down that new york times report. >> "the new york times" report i'm sure is wrong. you go back. there were reports like this that clinton wanted a freeze. that bush wanted a freeze. that obama wanted a freeze. those reports were wrong. where this goes, the united states is going to need two things. they need a declaration of north korea from their facilities and a firm timetable for disarmorment. we get those, we can detail things like sanctions and the rest that kim wants. it's a difficult conversation. the north koreas don't want to give up their most destructive weapons but it's up to trump to put them in that position. >> jesse: whatever he does, he will get criticized for it. when they had the first summit that was a photo op according to the media. when he bailed out of the second summit, that was to distract from the mueller report. and then this historic step in north korean territory, again what did they call it? a diplomatic booty call. >> no, it was courageous what he did. imagine if trump went to the dmz and kim didn't show? the north

reporter: president trump just commented on the article from new jersey saying the new york times article is a fabrication. president trump: so i think it's a disgrace and the new york times is basically with the democrats the way i look at it. they should never be allowed to write stories like that. reporter: and keep in mind the new york times article came out today, just five days after department of homeland security 's office of inspector general released their own disturbing account, which said border patrol detention facilit ies in south texas were subjected to serious over crowding and prolonged detention. jon? >> jon: thank you. iran says it is stepping up its nuclear capabilities today, raising its enrichment of uranium and breaching the 2015 nuclear deal terms and what this means for the ongoing tension between tehran and washington. >> they violated their promise not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level and it is made for one reason and one reason only, it's for the creation of atomic bombs. >> so iran makes a significant change to its nuclear strategy as tehran says it wi

now "the new york times" also saying that potentially the u.s. administration is going to look once again at that deal that north korea offered in hanoi back in february, which is effectively the main nuclear facility being shut down completely and being closed in return for some sanctions being eased. now interestingly, we did see when president trump was standing next to president moon jae-in at the presidential office in seoul, president moon talked about this and touted it as an option and president trump didn't correct him. let's listen to what president trump was saying just after he met kim jong-un at the border. >> we want to get it right. we don't want to -- we're not looking for speed. we're looking to get it right, and in the meantime there's been no nuclear tests. there's been no ballistic missiles. there's been a lot of goodwill and there continues to be. maybe if anything, better. after today better than it was even before. >> there will be a lot of focus now on what comes next to see whether this is anything more than just handshak

according to "the new york times," aides of mr. trump seized on that exchange to suggest that he was disloyal but and should have been fired but he was shielded by president trump. trump doesn't like that kind of stuff. he doesn't like grown-ups in the room. >> he has proven the thing that matters to him is loyalty to president trump not the ability or -- >> tell me about coats because he's leaving now. you worked for him. >> i did. i worked at the director of national intelligence during his tenure. you know, he had a way of saying, you know, we -- we seek truth, we speak truth. that was one of the mantras during his tenure. and, you know, he was well-respected. steady leader of the intelligence community and someone willing to stand up for the intelligence community assessments, even when he knew them to be unpopular with the president and with the president's staff. >> i love that slogan. we seek truth, we speak truth. good-bye to that. thank you, jonathan lemire, thank you katrina mulligan. >>> up next, donald trump may think h

york times." welcome to all thee of you. gordon, i want to start with you about this tweet that the president sent out talking about kim jong-un and how healthy he looks and how really, really well he is. what is that tweet an answer to? >> this is really strange. it's an answer to certain observers who were there yesterday and heard kim wheeze. you remember kim walked from what the north koreans call the monkey house to the demilitarization line and over to the summit house. the south korea house. they said he was really winded and i think what president trump was doing is responding to that narrative that's been carried on one of the other cable networks. >> ashley, donald trump appeared this weekend, or at least he said this weekend he advanced u.s. interests. what's the word from white house staff on what actually happened? >> one thing that's been tricky is when they have been pressed publicly and privately, other than the fact that yes, it had the drama and the showmanship the president love

he told "the new york times" that his goal for the mueller hearing is this. "we are going to re-elect the president." joining our discussion now, john heilemann, national affairs analyst for nbc news and msnbc co-host and executive producer of showtime's the circus. john, when you listen to matt gates' approach, that's a very different thing than what we heard from the two democratic members of congress. >> well, it certainly has the virtue of honesty, lawrence. >> yes. >> at least it's straightforward. something we rarely see from republicans, straightforward honesty. that's what this is for them, a political exercise and they're going to do everything they can to try to discredit bob mueller, to try to bludgeon bob mueller. they're not interested in trying to find out the facts of what happened or even to have a real engagement with the facts that are in the mueller report. so i think we know what they're going to do and it's not really of much consequence, i think. i do think that it's also the case that although in no way discrediting in the comments that

you brought it up i have a new york times story for you, boldness in spotlight is nothing new. her athletic exploits aside, she's very good soccer player and captain, why has she become hero to the left because she trashes trump among other things? >> she's about to turn 34 on july 5th, so this could be her last world cup and i think my criticism is exactly what trump said, i don't think the media focused on this enough, there's a majority that isn't a fan of him, not everybody, but she needs -- they need to win first, they did beat third-ranked country france, athletic superior, mainstream america, born in the usa, so she does have patriotism, i think the country would disagree on how she's displaying it abroad. >> very political because she has accepted invite from alexandria ocasio-cortez, she doesn't like the president. so, look, i get it, she's a gay athlete and unhappy with things in the country, despises trump, no way would she ever go to the white house, she's representing the united states of america in the world cup and so i'm offended and why does she have to choose

they teamed up with the "new york times" for this report. what is your reaction to president trump saying quote "the new york times" story is a fabrication? >> well, generally a journalist can't share his opinion but in this reference, i'll just say that we stand by our reporting, and i stand with the ne"new yor times" and "el paso times" in this reporting this story. >> i think you've covered ground we haven't seen before as thoroughly and that is border patrol agents themselves as sources and former border patrol agents as sources and we get a wider frame on the picture of who they are as human beings. they -- many of them seem very, very concerned about what is happening to those kids. >> sure. plenty of border patrol agents are neighbors, many of them joined the agency here in el paso and certainly many people in el paso know a border patrol agent or cbp agent and this reporting, yes, you'll see a little bit of take, if you will, of what a bp agent might tell their family member, what they might talk with their friends after work, simply

. >> following mueller's remarks, peter baker "the new york times" summed things up this way. "in his dry lawyerly scripted statement, mr. mueller gave voice for the first time to the damning details he uncovered about russia's efforts to disrupt american democracy and mr. trump's efforts to impede the investigation." he chose in the end to speak out just this once if he has his way to plead for a deliberate assessment of the facts from a deeply divided political system that shows no willingness to look at his findings through his dispassionate eyes. he did not accuse the president of a crime. but mr. mueller seemed to hint that he might have if he thought he could. and he pointedly refused to exonerate mr. trump. likewise, he implied that congress could pursue impeachment without directly recommending it. late last month, we learned members of the house intelligence committee and judiciary committee will have a chance to question robert mueller directly in public on july 17th. the chairman of the two pans said the agreement came after they issued a subpoena compelling the for

"new york times" puts it this way. "mr. acosta's appearance before cameras was seen as a crucial test of whether he will keep his job with an audience of one as president trump watched and weighed a decision." jeremy bash offered us a damage assessment on trump personnel on this broadcast just last night. >> we've had three white house chiefs of staff, two secretaries of defense, two secretaries of state, three homeland security secretaries, two attorneys general. we've had two cabinet secretaries at hhs and interior resign under a cloud of scandal. and now this scandal possibly sweep in two more cabinet secretaries, the secretary of labor and the attorney general. >> interesting thought at the end there. we have talked ashley parker and phil rucker into spending a few more minutes with us to keep talking about this topic. ashley, where is the gop outrage? >> well, you're not seeing that much of it. they're focusing the outrage on the place where it's easy to focus it on, which is jeffrey epstein. but when it comes to a tou
