conspiracy theory. and you can watch and see how it is like a game of telephone. it gets worse and worse and worse and somewhere along the way comes rudy giuliani. and when he gets into it, it gets all over fox. and when it s all over fox, it gets directly into the president s brain. and then he s convinced that this that phony conspiracy theory is real. and that he s using the american state to pursue it and investigate it. exactly. so they kind of snuckers themselves at the end of the day. what s fascinating to me is i think for a long time there was a bifurcation in the media where the folks like the president and politico s would read the work times and then the base would watch fox news and listen to rush limbaugh. but the remembemembers of congrt watch fox all day. i think they largely believe a
their own. the biggest thing he did, and i agree with the congressman on this, betrayal. betrayal. he promised two things as a candidate. no more stupid wars and big rebuilding of america from new york, from lax in l.a. all the way back to penn station in new york. we re going to rebuild this country. sounded great to me. meanwhile, the president is also taking aim at fox news over fox s latest poll. the fox poll is a good poll. we ve always used it here. it is been independent for years. it s solid. he doesn t like this number, biden beating him by 12. among other things, the polls show trump losing to biden in a hypothetical matchup. here is how the president reacted to that fact yesterday. knocfox is a lot different t it used to be, i can tell you that. fox has changed. there is something going on at fox, i ll tell you right now, and i m not happy with it, and i think fox is making a big mistake because, you know, i m the one who calls the shots on that on the really big deb
i m going to take my ball and go home. did you just hear that? if you don t play ball with me and let me win in your poll, i m not going to show up for your debate. it was like the little rich kid. i m sorry, he once was that. your thoughts, charlie? well, he obviously thinks that fox news is a house organ of trumpism. well, it has been. you re supposed to be for me. look, this is a president that doesn t understand how media operates. he doesn t understand how the news media operates, except as in the binary choice you re either for trump or against trump. so he s tried this before. he s tried threatening. he s tried bullying fox. i suppose you can argue to a certain extent it has succeeded in the past, but the poll is consistent with other polls. so once again we find the president insisting on an alternative reality and he s insisting that his spear carriers always, you know, play from the same script as he wants them to. spear carriers. i just love the image. running alon
from sean hannity over fox host all predicted of trump s declaring a national emergency days before it happens. the important third step need to happen is that the president need to declare a national emergency. this is the time, that s a necessity. fed up with all the speculation that he tells trump what to do, hannity went on a full-blown rant on friday in an attempt to shut that story down. the president or anybody in the white house ever call to calm me down, whatever that means and now to end all fake news report on how i actually predicted exactly what the president do on the border. simple, i paid attention to all of his public comments. joining me michelle bernard and msnbc, charlie sykes,
change. i want to play a new ad from governor perry seeing air time. it s time to clean house in washington. and sometime for balanced budget amendment to force washington to stop overspending. if congress balks, cut their pay. send them home. obama socialist policies are bankrupting america. we must stop him now. bret: can he make a comeback on airwaves? he is trying. ads all over fox and iowa. this is a new version. this is more explicit. again, in just saying that his strength is about the economy. producing jobs and hating on president obama. i guess he is hoping he can regain some traction with tea party types. but that is all he has going. it s not good. the numbers here in this poll are not good for perry. they do not indicate he has had any kind of bump as a result of the polling. one last thing on gingrich, we talk about campaign structure. one of the things that is a
