Try to -- >> they may. the fact is, it doesnt matter because president trump is determining the messaging. thats why its nearly impossible to do any of the communications or press jobs there. i will say youve seen democrats actually shift their messaging in the last couple of days because donald trump and others who are supporting him have sort of said democrats are weak. they dont want border security because its popular. they made this more about the government shutdown. theyve done that on pu...

Some ways. look at the enquirer on one end, sinclair on the other, and look at the ways as to how hes sometimes had to kiss up to fox or hold it. when fox -- when cnn -- msnbc, again, led the way, and said, were not going to carry those rallies. and fox started to pull back a little bit. and then he said, i love sean, i love laura -- >> read off their names. >> he was kissing up to them. and thats a weakened system. look, last year, i was really worried about this right-wing messaging machine he...

Well have much more on that story in just a few moments. first, the trump media blitz, two more rallies this weekend makes four. count them, four for the week. add in the last minute white house events, the fox news interviews, and the occasional kanye west oval office rants ant superman and alternative universes ask you have a republican messaging machine no longer focused on the unifying aspects of brett kavanaugh. today the limelight now firmly back on the president himself. here to talk abou...

Corollary we also have to do a cultural analysis and we have to try to understand and explain how trumps constant lying has corroded, has made toxic the information system in this country. its not him alone, of course, we have all these massive changes in media platforms and all of these other things going on, but at that primary summit of information in this democracy, the white house, we cant trust anything. in fact, the only thing we can trust is it will probably be untrue what they tell us. ...

Is firing up his base, he is crisscrossing certain areas of the country and trying to help out candidates who want his political fire and mojo behind them, youve got a messaging machine running now on the issue of how we spend our money and immigration, what does that do to the opposition? >> i think it may embolden the opposition. the democrats are basically daring president trump and the republican party to shut down the government in the fall, they think this would be a political gift. why? b...

Concerns werent taken seriously at fox. >> how might he change the messaging machine at this white house? the federal government has been subject to a lot of undulation over this year and a half of the presidency. there is no communications director in earnest at this point. what input can he put on that comm shop? >> i thought "the washington post" did a good job of reconstructing what kind of interviews will he be giving. he doesnt give interviews, hes a study in careful uselessness, except wh...

Of the beef that various presidents have had with the media over time or the beef that theyve had with people investigating them. what seems different to me is the conservative media messaging machine that has turned this into not just a political stance, its turned it into a cultural stance for conservatives. does that have historic precedence or is that new? >> its something that nixon was desperate to have and we know that richard nixon met with roger ailes of all people and talked to him abo...

Who would argue that he almost single handedly amounted a campaign to kill immigration reform when the bill wound its way through the senate. like, he was essentially a one-man messaging machine. and we saw how toxic that became for so many republicans, marco rubio among them, for example, so it makes a lot of sense that once he saw how this was unfolding, he pushed back and now here we are with having this fall apart. >> matts piece in "the new york times" this morning is deep-diving into who s...

Bracing for what it seems as though he thinks is going to be a portracted fight. at the same time, ali, the messaging machine is in full force here at the white house. he wants to get back to focusing on his agenda. he held a meeting with a number of ceos to talk about american innovation and technology and sean spicer did hold a briefing, but it was off camera and wasnt recorded. really a sign that they wanted to be very specific about the messaging theyre getting out of the white house on any ...

Act in america, but their main focus is not to come here. they want americans to go there. the leaders of isis have recognized that above all, they are a messaging machine which in turn becomes a recruitment machine. their gruesome videos would seem a repulsive turnoff and are to most people, but they work on the web. the shock and awe they produce makes them go viral and thus are seen by tens of millions. that ensures that these videos attract those alienated young men, a few thousand among the...
