The message i took away is he is going to attack the media, make the media enemy number one for the next 17 months. >> absolutely. he had a successful playbook. when i was at buzz feed, we covered every trump rally to the point where people would turn -- even this week, people would turn around and yell at people in the press pen when he mentions the media and boo and hiss at them because that works really well. hes clearly not interested in expanding his base. >> one last headline in the wall s...

Used it as a weapon. he used it as a bludgeon by which he bludgeoned the fbi and intelligence committee. he assailed them every day from the convenience briefing. before the inauguration, he knew the roomer was out there. it didnt come from a dossier or buzzfeed or cnn. hope hicks knew about it in october. >> hope hicks testimony in a very casual way paints the perfect picture of the posture u, defensive posture, of the world at times and on in matter of russian interference. hope hicks was aske...

Believe anymore. trump came off as a figure in the buzzfeed piece. trump hammered coppins via twitter and banned him from accompanying the pain. coppins appeared on my sirius radio program. we howled like school kids that this would be any different. after all, hed been threatening to run since 2008. he ran against the stage of seemingly more qualified primary opponents and eventually a candidate deemed the most qualified ever to seek the office. well, he beat her, too. and theres a lesson in th...

Over my life and dont think in my whole life ive called the fbi. >> the fbi director said that is what should happen. >> the fbi director is wrong. >> well, he has called the fbi -- we know buzzfeed reported about in in 2017 to relationship to an atlantic city development, he called an fbi informant and met with the fbi. so, again, i didnt meet with the fbi, ive never called them but he did. lets go to the next one. there is a lot of these. trump on meghan markle. this is his exact quote to the ...

>> let me get johns response. >> well, my problem with this whole thing is it is not about controlling the public. we had barr and trump and rudy ghoul yiuliani unleash the mons let the cracken out there. what we have here is a situation in which the management of the public was to deny the truth to them. it seems to me that mueller had an obligation to step forward and say what hes saying is a lie. if they can do it about buzzfeed, they should be doing it about the central act of the investigat...

Today. so to be honest with you, as soon as we got this announcement, as soon as everybody else did, there was a big rush within the press area. everyone trying to get any more details about it. an official who answered the phone gave me that much. as soon as were done talking, i will circle back upstairs and try to get more info. >> lets hop in the way-back time machine. it was early january, one of the few times we heard from robert muellers team and it was refute buzzfeeds reporting that said...
