this comes after days after obama and the younger bush blasted the current state of politics under president trump, breaking the code of silence that former presidents normally maintain. and particular, it was the comments by bush warning against bigotry that left trump's former chief strategist, steve bannon, to deliver a blistering attack on bush and call for a republican revolt. >> president trump to me embarrassed himself. speech writer wrote a high pha fluten speech. it's clear he didn't understand anything he was talking about. he has no earthly idea whether he's coming or going. just like it was when he was president of the united states. there's not been a more destructive presidency than george bush's. >> well, steven sanchez joins us live from the white house and boris, do we know if the president was aware bannon was going to say those things? >> reporter: hey, pamela, it is not clear. cnn has reached out to the white house for comment on bannon's comments, but we have yet to get a response. it is something of this white house has had to talk about before though. you'll recall just last week, bannon was talk iing about mitc mcconnell as if he were julius ceaser and he talked about finding his brutus. he's at war with the gop. you'll remember on monday, trump was here at the white house giving a joint press briefing with mcconnell in which he said that steve bannon is a friend and that steve bannon doing what he believes is best for the country. again, those were his comments about mcconnell and other republicans. this to some degree though is different. it is a vicious attack on a former president in which he questions president trump's intelligence and whether or not he knew what he was saying in that speech. it is very much keeping in line with the vow he made when he left the white house, that he would attack anyone that went after president trump. >> do we know why president trump won't be at the concert tonight? >> we don't have a clear indication as to whether or not there was some thought behind this. the white house put out a statement saying that they were happy to be invited to participate in it because president trump is going to be featured in about a two-minute video thanking the crowd for their contributions and thanking the presidents on hand as well. here's a bit of the video now. >> as we begin to rebuild, some of america ee's finest public survey vants are spearheaded the one america appeal. through this effort, all five living former presidents are play iing a tremendous role in helping our fellow citizens recover. to presidents jimmy carter, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and barack obama, melania and i want to express our deep gratitude for your tremendous assistance. >> so certainly the president's presence will be felt at the concert, but the optics perhaps of having him on stage with these former presidents with whom just in the past week, he's had some awkward exchanges to say the least. that would just be odd for something that's meant for a good cause, pamela. >> so to be clear, the president was asked to participate, but we don't know if he was invited to comment personally, correct? >> yes. he was invited to participate and that's how we wound up with this video message, but it's unclear whether he was invited to be there in person. >> all right. thank you so much. and to refresh your memory, here's some of what president bush and president obama said this week. >> our young people need positive role models. bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone. provides permission for cruelty and bigotry and compromises the moral education of children. >> have to win a campaign by dividing people. you're not going to be able to govern them. you're not going to be -- >> joining us to discuss, cnn presidential historian, tim neftali and lynn sweet. lynn, to you first. the white house has denied those comments were about president trump. but do you have any doubt who the former presidents were referencing? >> these former presidents know well the context -- the context that they're talking in. there's not much of a doubt that if they did not want to have their comments taken as a reference to trump, they would not have said what they said the way they did, pamela. >> that's a fair point. or they would have clarified this as particular to donald trump. context, tim. is this normal for past presidents to criticize the current commander in chief? just how, was wha does this mean? >> it's happened in the past. dwight eisenhower issued a vailed criticism of john f. k kenne kennedy's domestic policies. george herbert walker bush criticized a little bit of bill clinton's foreign policy. the difference is this. you have both former presidents from both parties. who will continue to be partisan. george w. bush is campaigning for one gubernatorial candidate in virginia and barack obama is campaigning for the other one. so they haven't given up their interest in their respective parties, but they both have basically said that the white house, they said carefully, the white house is no longer using presidential language. the white house should be uniting us. both didn't mention donald trump's name. they would have been inappropriate to do that. >> these were thinly veiled. >> they were saying our country should be moving beyond racism and shouldn't turn a back on global interaction. these are great broad concepts, but concepts that both obama and bush believe in. they are partisan. they have policy preferences that are different and they continue to be different sh but on these broad issue, they have a common idea. they actually share these ideas. and they talked about that. so that they're saying, they're speaking over the head of donald trump. talking to the american people and they're saying to the american people, don't forget those big ideas that actually unit eed us as democrats and republicans. engagement with the world and moving beyond racism. >> globalism. just makes you wonder, bush had been has been very silent up until now. he hasn't really spoken out like this. why do you think now? >> well, because with the exception of a few comments his father made, his father was silent. and there's a sense that former presidents don't take on the incumbent. i think the fact that george w. bush said something is very significant. i don't know, but i have a feeling it may be connected to his sense that the current president is demeaning the office. don't forget, donald trump went after george w. bush and his family in the primaries, but that was in part because jeb was a candidate. >> and he didn't -- >> jeb is no longer a candidate. and the question is, are you going to show respect for the people who in the office before you? you may disagree with them, but they held a burden that only you and they not understand. that's why we called it the president's club. there was a limit on what they were willing to aabout the predecessors. only a few have had this eck pees experience and president trump has decided to leave that aside, attack his predecessors and they are now stepping up and not attacking him back personally, but saying to the american people, there's a better way to unite the country. >> we expect the five past living presidents to show up. you can see people starting to gatt there in texas to raise money for those hurricane victims. lynn, there was a moment at the last white house press briefing that sent the chill through news rooms everywhere. the white house response to a reporter questioning claims made by chief of staff general john kelly. listen. >> if you want to get into a debate with a four-star marine general, i think that's something highly inappropriate. >> your reaction. >> well, sarah sanders eventually rolled back from that statement, but what was highly inappropriate was saying to reporters that who they can and cannot ask questions of on the white house staff. chief of o staff kelly is a retired four-star general and thrust himself into a big debate this week by going out into the briefing room a few days ago and saying something that wasn't true. as he was trying to defend president trump as he was doing until he made a turn there where he brought in congresswoman wilson. and when he said something about her being at an event, saying something that she didn't say and there's videotape to prove it that subsequently came out, i don't think you say that somebody's off just off limits. i just wish sarah hadn't said it the way she did and i applaud that she did come back and issue a statement that said yes, it is appropriate. i'm paraphrasing, to do questions. in the sense, a charity here. i want to give her a benefit of the doubt that maybe upon reflection, she realized you just don't invoke the military as a way to shield herself and any white house staffer from taking questions. >> and tim, in a interview with fox business news, president trump says general kelly was disgued that a congresswoman was listening to his call with a gold star family. let's listen to what he said here. >> he was so offended that a woman would be, that somebody would be listening to that call. he was, he actually couldn't believe it. actually, he said to me, sir, this is not acceptable. >> well, as we know, general kelly was lieni listen ining ine call. >> this is really hard thing. and my reaction is that as a person, first of all, is it's really hard to watch two gold star families disagree. even indirect ly. i think it's just terribly sad. and i think that this was not a good week for our country. and i just feel badly about it. i feel badly for both families. the johnson family and the kelly family. and i just, i wish that our politics was not such that this kind of thing happens, i also have to say that it saddens me that general kelly, who deserves our understanding and gratitude and condolences, took this strange turn into talk iing abo something he thought had happened in 2015. 2011. >> 2015. >> regarding -- >> one other thing. it's so important for the white house to have their facts straight before they say something in this. it was a false accusation to give the impression in any way that congresswoman wilson somehow elbowed her way into the phone call. long time family friend. she knew the soldier who died. she knew the family. she was in a car going to pick up the body of the slain soldier. she didn't do anything secretly. it should not, those words just are totally wrong to say in the context of how she got the call. so if we want to just take this whole controversy in a bite sized chunk, it is so important just to get the facts straight, which is very hard for president trump to do as we well know. >> well and youn, look, we all make mistakes. sometimes, our memories aren't so, aren't always right and this could have have been a situation where he just didn't have a good recollection. which is clear that may have been the case, but just come out and say, oh, let me make a correction here. that is something you don't really see the white house, so often, you see them trying to make an untruth a truth and you said, tim, that this has not been a good week in washington. how does this compare to other weeks we've seen in the president's first year in office? >> refresh my memory about how this started by going back and listening to the press conference. the president's press conference with mitch mcconnell. which is where this started. the president was asked why have you not spoken publicly about the niger incident. >> by sarah murray. >> he wasn't asked why have you not called the families. maybe she said it. there was a little cross talking at the end. he then responds defensively. about not, about kaucalling families, then finds himself talking about his predecessor, going on the offensive, which is very much the characterist of our commander in chief. when he feels defensive, he goes on offensive. then that led to understandably real indignation on the part of obama lieutenants and obama staffers and others who were saying that the president was going and attacking all his predecessors in regard to how they dealt with the fallen and the families of the fallen. i mean, that's, you just don't do that.ty for the commander in chief. we are thanking those families for the sacrifice of the rememb members of the family. it's about as important a responsibility as any for a commander in chief and for some reason, our president decided to go there. that's how it starteded. that was the dwing of the week and things got worse. >> wow wonder how the president looks at it as the week wraps up. tim, thank you very much. lynn, really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. coming up on the saturday mystery surrounding the deadly ambush in niger, the body of one of the u.s. soldiers killed found nearly a mile away from the scene. how did he get there?

>> a couple of reasons. first, it speaks a little bit to the complexity of the mission itself and what happened and the sort of chaotic frenetic environment that this ambush caused. and the fact that the military themselves are still try lg to do to go to do the forensics here because the second reason is it's under investigation. that's not uncommon at all. naft, that's mandatory when you have a situation like this. you want to fully investigate it. and now that it is being investigateded, they're not going to be talking about it at all. that said, i do think that the pentagon should have been nor forthcoming about some basics. much, much sooner. it happened on the 4th of october. i can understand they waited a couple of days because they didn't have sergeant johnson back, but after that, i think they could have been more forthcoming. just yesterday as a matter of fact, africa command put out a statement providing context about the mission in niger and what it is and what we're doing. and that kind of context would have been important for the public to know a couple of weeks ago. >> right because a lot of people didn't even know we had u.s. service members in niger. so that was important context and you mentioned the fbi. what do they bring to the b table in an vest xwainvestigati this? >> not uncommon for them to get involved in something like this when it has counterterrorism aspects to it. they'll bring a lot of expertise this this, also a lot of great forensic analysis and intelligence as well. why they don't get involved in every investigation, something like this makes a lot of sense. the other thing is ta people need to remember that the counterterrorism effort in africa is truly an interagency effort and it's been like that for several years, the fbi has field personnel in africa working in concert, not only with the u.s. military, but with local governments, so they're there as well. they have knowledge and expertise. and that would only make perfect sense they would be involved and helpful. >> and senator graham says he is not surprised that terrorist violence is spiking in africa. here's what he said on friday. >> they don't want another 9/11. we don't want the next 9/11 to come from niger! so what do you think? is he right? are we going to see more antiisis operations in africa? >> well, we have been seeing them. this is something the pentagon has been focused on now for a couple of years. it's not something that just happened. as we squeeze isis in iraq and syria, we knew they would be looking for safe haven el elsewhere. they have tried to seek safe haif nn afghanistan. we saw them in libya. and we know they'd be reaching into sub saharan africa, which is why we have troops there. we're not surprised by this. but i think the senator hit on something important and that is that we're going probably have to deal with an expansive presence for them in that part of the world and i agree that we shouldn't be surpriseded to see the u.s. military perhaps stepping up efforts against isis and al qaeda affiliates there in that part of africa. >> it shows you what happened there with those four service members being killed. how risky these operations are are and hopefully, some lessons were learned. thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> we'll be right back. hey, man. oh! nice man cave! nacho?

"the new york times" reports the settlement came in january, just one month before fox resigned o rile ly for a $25 million a year contract. he was eventually fired in april. cnn correspondent jean casarez and bill carter join us now to discu discuss. what is o'reilly saying about this? >> there is a response and we want to show it to everybody. it says quote, in its latest diatribe against bill o'reilly, the times printed leaked information provided by anonymous sources that is out of context, false, defamatory and obviously designed to embarrass bill o'reilly and keep him from competing in the marketplace. now, "the new york times" is is reporting, pam, that it was january of this year that fox news was actually privy to the threat of a lawsuit by one of their legal analysts, liz wheel. bill o'reilly said this is private, personal. i will handle it. it will be confidential. he did. by middle of january, the deal was done. fox news was given a document by bill o'reilly's attorney alleging that something happened. there was a deal. there was a settle. . but there was no monetary amount according to the times who spoke with bill o'reilly's attorney of how much it was. so fox news didn't know it was $32 million. as the times is reporting. but there's also an affidavit of liz wheeler that came out, liz wheel, came out january 17th. she signed it. she said she and bill o'reilly had been friends for over 18 years. we have worked together. we have socialized together. on occasion, i have given him legal advice and although i did have claimed against him, i now have no claims against him at all. >> so this was after the settlement. >> correct. >> bill, to you. o'reilly and his team say as you heard jean say, this is part of a smear campaign to keep him from getting another job. do you see him getting another prime time gig? >> i mean, you know, who knows in this world because he has a lot of followers and obviously, you know, he's going to make a very big case if this is fake, but it's really interesting he's saying you know, it's false and defamatory. he's not saying what's false. not threatening to sue "the new york times" because i know he wouldn't because discovery would probably kill on this. but the fact he spent $32 million to settle a case, which by the way, he did not dispute, seems to me to be the evidence you need that somebody really bad went on between he and this woman and the fact she doesn't make the claim after receiving $32 million should hardly be surprising to anybody. >> and how damming is this to fox in your view that fox you know, had a new contract for him just shortly after that? >> exactly. remember, fox was also in the middle of the roger ales scandal. they would all of these other cases of sexual harassment they were settling for what looks now $100 million and now here they are with their biggest star and he comes and tells them, well, i have this sexual harass m thing going on, but i'll set it it and they let him settle it and don't ask for and turn around and after him a $25 million a year contract after that. i don't see how it's not cucupa. they had made with other women he had sexual harassment charges with. >> fox is saying it put him out in the moral clause ch saying if there were more allegations, they could fire him. >> that's an excellent point. they say in their statement, 21st century fox, that in fact, with this new contract that they had, even more than your geneicl morals clause. in regard to you and your impropriety, that we will be able to fire you. they say that's what they relied on to let him go later that year. >> fascinating. bill, i'm going to play an sper view that o'reilly gave nbc news last month and get your reaction to it on the other end. >> okay. >> my conscious is clear. what i have done is organized a legal team to get the truth to the american people. nobody's a perfect person. but i can go to sleep at night very well knowing that i never mistreated anyone on my watch in 42 years. >> it just, you know, makes you wonder. you can't help it to wonder how you can, how a confidential, $32 million sexual harassment settlement, you'd have a clear conscious. it's hard to know. you can't look at exactly what the details are because it's private. >> but remember, not the only case. this guy had another what, six or seven cases brought against him that he had to settle. for him to say his conscious is clear, he obviously doesn't have a conscious. he's going all these things saying i'm not mistreating these women. they're misinterpreting what i'm toing. he had the previous $9 million settlement with a woman who had taped him making lewd phone calls. this is not a guy who can possibly walk away from this without somebody saying this is an outrageous bunch of behavior. if he was innocent, why wouldn't he stand up and fight for it. listen, who pays $32 million because i want to make sure nobody really uses this as a smear campaign. that's an insane about of money, really. >> $32 million. thank you so much. and coming up on this saturday, the president gives himself a ten out of ten on the puerto rico hurricane response. but with power and clean water still hard to come by, what do people on the ground think? >> president trump says that the government deserves a ten grade for the performance. almost 75,000 veterans experienced homelessness. we have reduced those numbers by almost half, but despite the great progress that we have achieved, there are still too many veterans who still need a place to live. this project is a comprehensive rehabilitation of the center's facility here in downtown boston to create permanent supportive housing, transitional housing and service spaces, a facility that really delivers on society's commitment to people who have served in the military. citi® was the financial partner because they were able to come with the resources, both the capital resources and also the human resources, the experts in their fields, and without citi's partnership we probably would not be here where we are right now. the goal for us at this project is to be more effective in the services that we provide so that veterans who have committed to put their lives at risk to protect this country have a home in this country.
