Then there is no doubt it would be a very newsworthy item with a lot of discussion about it. and if its not true, then obviously one would ask themselves why did you put that out be to begin with. but, look, i didnt make the allegation. i have already told you, i have never said that before. i wouldnt say that to you today. i have no basis to say that. if the president or white house does, hes going to lay it out over the next couple days and we will see what theyre talking about. >> are you con...

Great. in that respect, he doesnt seem to have a total grip on some of the things that are going on very close to him and on issues of great political import. again, between the outright lies that the administration has told and outright lies that donald trump a has told, and the places where there are gaps of knowledge, it just raises a fundamental problem in terms of dealing with allies and in terms of dealing with the hill and the press, which is a giant credibility problem. >> i think that i...

So we havent had a chance to digest it. but the attorney general in his confirmation hearings was very clear with a one-word answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. he said no, period. no condition, no modification. so obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that jeff sessions in the confirmation hearing was trying to hide something. he may simply have forgotten. but it does mean two things. number one,...

He had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. he said no, period. no condition, no modification. so obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that jeff sessions in the confirmation hearing was trying to hide something. he may simply have forgotten. but it does mean two things. number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that michael fly...

And they already have a serious credibility problem given how they handled the clinton investigation. this is making it this much worse. >> should there be an independent prosecutor now? darrel issa has called for one. hes the first member of the house republicans who has broken ranks. >> if this gets to the point of a criminal referral by the justice department or to the justice department by the fbi, then yes, i think there absolutely ought to be an independent prosecutor here. but what we nee...

To him. he has tens of millions of listeners. makes me wonder how many people believe that. >> certainly, something rush limbaugh has been trying to erode trust in in the mainstream press for decades. part of his appeal is that he is anti-media. trump is picking these fights because the media is powerful. in some ways he is going after the media instead of the democratic party because the party is weak right now and trump needs an enemy. but there is a broader problem here, whether the president...

The newspapers and i see stories of chaos yet it is the exact opposite this administration is running like a fine tuned machine despite the fact i cant get my cabinet approved. >> during the press conference he intensified his attacks on the media sparring with reporters for 77 minutes. lets bring back our panel to discuss this. frank, let me start with you. he doesnt see it as chaos. people watching or the media might call it a spectacle. they might call it chaos but i think that was sort of in...

Hes talking to folks in peoria, whether hes talking to folks in washington, shouldnt that matter on some level? >> well i think there are a couple of things at play here. remember donald trump believes what donald trump believes, and so you know, if youre going to go to try to basically bait him into saying thats not true, hell say wait a minute, my truth is my truth, and so thats never a winning argument for anybody in a discussion with donald trump. but i do think at some point that he has to ...
