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

bolton is never exactly been the biggest fan of this i.n.f. treaty. exactly right and let's not forget his precedent for this is well george bush we three united states from the a.b.m. treaty anti-ballistic missile treaty a decade or so ago and again that was why i. believe to be really could've bought upon a new nuclear arms race which is what this is about i mean donald trump of course we know he's a negotiation style we know that he makes these dramatic gestures and then backpedal us in an effort to see perhaps get some new deal under way and it looks like he's perhaps even do not with iran of course he's tried it with korea with some degrees of success and it might be another example here that's particular case of course because some in america have some justifiable i think concerns that china for example is not covered by this pact this treaty and of course china even though there's no evidence that it has so far developed such weapons of course to develop such a base weapons that would perhaps threaten in america's few perhaps american b

that's not lost on john bolton. and the dynamic is set up so that bolton reports directly to the president and circumvents kelly's authority which kelly finds frustrating. there's all of that simmering underneath and then the closest person to john kelly has consistently been kirstjen nielsen. he has help her. >> he brought her into the white house. >> brought her into the white house. helped install her at the -- >> his old job. >> his old job at homeland security. and he's very protective of her. she's been under fire from the president, from within her own agency. and, you know, to have bolton then go after her for what he felt like, according to our reporting was her not really doing the one thing that she's supposed to do and the big thing the president cares about when it comes to her department. >> what's interesting about the palace intrigue and we'll get to the abomination which is the policy they were fighting over and nobody appears to have been on the side of the humanitarian crisis that it is. they were

well during the talks john bolton said that the treaty was outdated and should be revised to include china and he accused the russian side of violating its terms something denied by moscow which actually sees things the other way around accusing the us of violations the historic treaty was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seventy between the then soviet union and the us under the green mint all short a mid range nuclear and conventional missiles were eliminated apart from those launched at sea well let's get some reaction to this now and go live to rowing for you there the former italian foreign minister and former european commissioner franco for. very welcome thank you very much for coming on mr for taney just your views first on what could be on the agenda between the italian prime minister vladimir putin during their meeting do you think that they will discuss the i.n.f. treaty. well i don't know but i. sincerely hope that our prime minister will confirm to president putin net italy should be really conservative about the possible seizure to be taken by president try on i

national security advisor john bolton the high ranking official said that the u.s. is still going ahead with pulling out of a key nuclear weapons treaty while playing down fear is it will spark an arms race but spike the tensions between the two countries right now the mood of the talks at times was light hearted. as far as i remember there is an eagle on the u.s. national emblem and there are thirteen arrows in one foot and an olive branch with thirteen olives as a symbol of peaceful policy in the other my question is did your eagle eat all the olives and leave just the arrows but. i'm grateful for the opportunity to speak with you on behalf of president and hopefully i'll have as many times for it but i didn't bring any more all of. them that's what i thought. well during the talks john bolton said that the treaty was outdated and should be revised to include china he accused the russian side of violating its terms something denied by moscow which actually sees things the other way around accusing us of minor violations russia says the treaty is still vital to int

i think they believe that the as john bolton said just the other day quote crippling sanctions unquote are going to cause so much turmoil depression of the currency. main items not available to the iranian people even food and humanitarian and medical supplies are being impacted i think they hope that this tension causes a somewhat different iranian population now than say in two thousand and nine during the green revolution to rise up and overthrow the theocracy that's their that's their best solution if you will but i think they also see in the background pressure on iran and hezbollah and iranian agents in syria pressure on iran around the world pressure on iran and iraq especially southern iraq and ultimately perhaps even military action against iran in company with the us a saudi arabia and perhaps even israel as being ultimately the thing they will turn to if regime change doesn't come out come about some other way that's why i liken it to two thousand and two and two thousand and three it looks like the same road map to me all over again can america afford to deal with iran and

>> yeah, i think john bolton is trying to achieve two aims at once. one is to say, look, the meddling had no impact in the election result, and my boss was elected legitimately off his own merits. but also, if you do happen to think of meddling again, please don't do it and i'm going to confront you on it and it's not going to get you anywhere. we know john bolton is a hawk on russia. last year he called russian meddling in the u.s. election an act of war. he definitely rolled back from that today. but he's got to keep his boss happy. he can't say it had an impact on the election. i saw this as bolton trying to keep both sides of the argument. don't do it again, but by the way, he was elected legitimately. >> john bolton said that the meddling had no decisive impact on the election. so he was not saying they didn't change one vote. remember, one of the things the russians put a lot of effort into was assisting with the suppression of black voters. one of the reasons hillary clinton lost was that black voter turnout simply crashed between 2012 and 2016

but john bolton has been writing op-eds about getting out of this treaty since 2011. so i think we're out. >> and perhaps a sign of his influence within the administration. jeffrey lewis, thank you very much. something we'll be watching closely. >>> stunning new video showing just how desperate the situation has become for some migrants now trying to escape central america. look at that there. a mother of three climbing down a ladder on a bridge. the story behind that perilous journey, next. - at afor the financialt's time world to stop acting the same old way. you need a partner that is willing to break free from conventional thinking. we are a different kind of financial company. we are athene, and we are driven to do more. >>> a new threat from president trump this morning over that caravan of migrants heading to the u.s., something the president has tried to keep in the conversation every day. the president says he will cut back or completely kt off aid to several central american countries who couldn't stop people from leaving. that caravan, meanwhile, continues

national security advisor john bolton meets russian foreign minister sergei lavrov must be noted both vocal critic of the treaty assad with just a bit earlier talking about what america's withdrawal could mean for the world mr bolton isn't the only critic of the deal america's doing it right and russia is not living up to the end of the bargain and that's how president donald trump mr bolton's boss explained why he's saying no to the so-called i.n.f. treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating it for many years that i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear that one set of state in the agreement and we wanted to agreement but russia is not unfortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out although donald trump didn't specify what exactly russia was violating but in the previous years washington blamed russia for deploying what they called an illegal type of cruise missile and then ge

but john bolton has a long history back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine when i published my book on crimes against humanity he reviewed it for the moonie paper the washington times and the fanatically right wing paper and said this guy's a threat is a danger to america because he's doing that america could should sign up to international justice which then was in its infancy but then the court was together in two thousand and two and by that time bolton who's never been in to do anything here has no electoral creedence was an advisor to george w. bush and supported the. bill look both and jesse helms and jordan bolton got pasta enabling literally literally enabling the american president to reinvade. them as if they hold an american torture before the international court in the hague it was an absurd piece of legislation but each malice and the stupidity of the man the result of these are your colleagues people you work very. well. for us there from leading european countries from if you like the civilized world the democratic nations of the world that have hitherto look to

that would be my bet with someone like john bolton with the international criminal court and the un. he wants to make that a pillar of u.s. policy. that when he bashes the international institutions, i think he finds in donald trump who has isolation instincts, somebody sympathetic to the argumement arguments. we will have somebody who is more of a hard liner take over for nikki haley. >> we will find out within two or three weeks if he makes the announcement. the new book out today, the corrosion of conservative. why i left the right. congratulations on your new book. thanks to you as well. important date here in washington. we are tracking other breaking news, including hurricane michael, now officially a category two hurricane and forecasted to be the most destructive storm to hit the florida panhandle in decades. with four weeks to go until the mid-terms and fresh off the victory, president trump and the republican leadership fine tune the message to voters. we will have details. in the u.s."park" it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the

and national security adviser john bolton. as a honduran migrant caravan of roughly 4,000 people approaches the border. the dispute was so heated that kelly ended up storming out of the white house shortly afterward. nbc news is reporting that the altercation arose from a dispute bolton had with kirsten nielsen. nielsen was explaining an 80% rise in immigrants crossing the border when bolton interrupted her. bolton said nielsen, a close kelly ally was doing a terrible job with the border and that her department was not producing needed results. kelly ultimately stormed out of the white house early with no resolution to the issue saying i'm effing out of here. nbc news national political reporter carol lee joins us on set. just another day in paradise. >> just another argument in the west wing. >> i worked in the west wing, and you know, i'm a big fan of the f-word when appropriate, but i never used it around the oval office. >> john kelly has become kind of known for this. he has a reputation for being a bit of a hot head and

but it got really ugly between the chief of staff john kelly and the national security adviser john bolton. they started off this argument in front of president trump in the oval office while talking about this, and then it turned into a shouting match between the two of them, so loud that it was startling aides near who are used to lat of arguing in a pretty divisive west wing. that's how bad it was. it raise as question of why would the two men be arguing like this in this dramatic fashion over something like this, but we're told by sources who are familiar with the argument that john bolton insulted kerstin nelson saying she needs to start doing her job, and that's a sentiment that president trump agreed with during this argument, causing a lot of people to believe that president trump had taken john bolton's side. the reason that infuriated john kelly and set him off in this argument is that kerstin nelson is his right-hand woman. she was in the west wing with him for a while and he was the one who persuaded president trump to nominate her as the secretary to lead the department of hom

here is how national security adviser john bolton got tough with the russians on the subject today. speaking to a russian radio station, john bolton said, quote, the point i made to russian colleagues today's is i didn't think whatever they had done in terms of meddling in the 2016 election, i didn't think they had any effect on it. i'm not sure i want to hazard a guess as to exactly what john bolton meant by that, but it's possible that our next guest will. top democrat on the house intelligence committee joins us next. stay with us. it's very personal. at cancer treatment centers of america, we use diagnostic tools that help us better understand what drives each person's cancer. like christine bray. after battling ovarian cancer for several years, her test results revealed a drug therapy that targeted her tumor. today, christine's metastatic cancer is in remission. we're not just fighting cancer. we're outsmarting it. visit cancercenter.com. appointments available now. we've hadfor a long time.is in san francisco and half-measures haven't fixed it. homelessness doesn't just hurt h

but the fight that was the worst was the one between john bolton and john kelly today. they got into a heated argument that involved cursing and profanity and turned into a shouting match that even startled in the west wing. it's quite a divisive west wing, arguing is pretty typical here but this was different today. this was more dramatic. one source told me today it equated to essentially a falling out between the two men. they were falling there could be a resignation that could come out of this and they didn't think it would be from john bolton, but from john kelly, who has threatened resigning multiple times in the past but they're told today they truly thought this could lead to him to step down from his role as chief of staff. that argument went on. president trump was involved in the beginning of it. but instead of taking john kelly's side, he was on john bolton's side during this disagreement, which only increased john kelly'sa agitatin over this. now there is a question of whether or not john kelly is going to step down from his job. he's not scheduled to trav

when it's interesting, we do so the national security advisor john bolton on the world stage holding a news conference in moscow right now. i just want to give you our last few seconds to respond because that is breaking and making news at this hour, and it is the president's doctrine or policies that are being talked about there. >> i think john bolton is waking russia up. and making him understand if you cheat on a treaty in the intermediate nuclear force treaty, that we will call you on it unlike president obama. and we will withdraw from the treaty. that's the point of being in a treaty if it's a one day street. and that's a wake-up call because usually foreign nations don't have to deal with in america who holds them to account like that. so i support very much that type of real politics that john bolton is bringing to moscow. >> harris: ari fleischer, thank you very much, great to see you. reporting now on the new twist in the death of a "washington post" columnist, turkey's leader is saying the death was planned and savage. the new questions for the saudi royal and with the wh

national security adviser john bolton heads to moscow today for what could be tough talks on arms control that's after washington announced it would withdraw from a nuclear arms agreement with russia u.s. president donald trump accused russia of violating a thirty year old treaty on intermediate range missiles and threatened a fresh arms race with moscow. this is what the drama is about medium range nuclear ballistic missiles that have been on a self-imposed by the u.s. and russia since the end of the one nine hundred eighty s. that may be about to change u.s. authorities believe russia may have developed a weapon systems like these in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty. we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to wear the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we bought it great but russia has not unfortunately wanted the agreement so we're going to terminate it we're going to pull out. the kremlin has denied trump's allegations saying it has not produced any missiles that are prohibited by the i.n.f. trea
