You know, from the white house. and if you go back and during the campaign a long, long time ago when donald trump used to hate fox news because they werent giving him the coverage that he wanted, he ended up bending them to his will. and i think he should call them on their bluff, personally. thats what i would do if i was him. i know for a fact they would absolutely freak out if donald trump started going after them the way he did before because it really showed fox that they werent in control...

Mexicos not paying for it. he didnt get what he wanted, and so now its a national emergency. as you were talking about in the previous panel, if its an emergency, usually you need to do something about it right away, right? its not -- this doesnt meet the criteria of emergencies. but i think just in what you showed earlier, about what happened between fox news and the white house, if i was donald trump i would watch that realize that actually theyre not going to come after him nonstop, right? th...

Or any circuit, being turned back and then finally getting to the u.s. supreme court and winning there. hes already decided just like with the anti-muslim ban that he said was a campaign promise, that was an anti-muslim ban. and still he had the votes in the u.s. supreme court to keep that ban in place. i think he knows that despite all the rhetoric and the push back from even the majority democratic house. that he would see this pushed through, despite the rhetoric that is obviously opposing wh...

Dana, why wouldnt these republicans vote for the bill and call his bluff? or at least put it on him to shut the government down? >> exactly. this is, which comes first, the chicken or the egg? so is it going to be incumbent on these senators and members of the house, but less so in the house, because its run by the democrats, and theyre going to almost certainly put it on the floor. the senate, its different. its run by the republicans. and they have just as manu laid out, they have experience n...

I dont think that she is young and naive and brand-new. she is a rational adult. she knows exactly what she is saying. this is an informed opinion that she has held for a long time, and she is expressed in a myriad of ways pretty consistently. which means shes going to do and say something really stupid in the future that shows her true stripes. at that point i think its time for action. right now, take her to word and let this go on. because she feel something very deeply that will manifest aga...

Continue to abide by the law. if you so much as jay walker, you are in big trouble. >> mike: take a listen to stephanie cutter, who worked for president obama, and then ill get you to respond, alex. >> ive certainly have had plenty here of encounters with the "national enquirer" but im a strong defender of the "national enquirer" but its a stretch to call that journalism. i also think they started to panic when the strings started to pull an bezos called their bluff. >> mike: your reaction to th...

Amazons jeff bezos, the owner of the "washington post," called the national enquirer on its bluff, alleging blackmail and extortion in a jaw-dropping post on medium. ami, the national enquirer parent company, threatened to publish more embarrassing texts and below the belt selfies unless jeff bezos agreed to end an investigation into how the tabloid had acquired the lewd photos and messages the national enquirer used to expose the extra marital affair last month. the national enquirer says it ha...

Suggesting american medias coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces. whats remarkable in all of that to me is its written out and its put out there, joe. it would seem to me, again im operating in the realm of reality, that if youre going to try to get someone to do something, that if anybody found out about it might look bad, you probably dont want to put it in an e-mail and, by the way, maybe you shouldnt have your general counsel involved. >> listen, i think this e...

But instead of backing down the amazon ceo did something very surprising. he called their bluff. he explained, quote, of course i dont want personal photos published, but i also wont participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favors and political attacks and corruption. i prefer to stand up, roll this log over and see what crawls out. thats some hot fire right there. bezos released emails he says he and his legal team exchanged with american media to show the, quote, precis...

Where a media outlet was trying to extort information from me or to prevent me from saying something. which is what the "national enquirer" was trying to do. but i have plenty of encounters with the "national enquirer" and im a strong defender of the first amendment but i think its a stretch to call that journalism. and so i think they started to panic once the strings started to pull and bezos calls their bluff. >> we dont want to begin to give the government power or prosecutors power to decid...
