They actually tried to tell the lie that there are no medicaid cuts in a bill that was the most massive cut to medicaid in history. knowing that newspapers and news programs like this one would be saying that the president was violating his promise to not cut medicaid, the white house strategy was simply to lie and say that the president was not cutting medicaid. for the line of work, trump supporters would have to believe that the "new york times" is lying when the president says theyre not cut...

Intelligence agencies collect information and do it o co. vertly and sometimes risking their lives to collect that information. this offers an ininciting into trump himself as the person, which is very unusual as far as world leader. >> so your problem not that hes tweeting about being in florida or new jersey or at the white house. most days hes been relitigating the russia case. he has gone after his perez assess or in office. what are examples of what hes saying is saving our opponents and en...

That it gives to foreign intelligence agencies is that he is doing this in an unfiltered way and openly in a public forum. now typically, intelligence agencies collect information and they do it covertally a covertl sometimes theyre risking their lives to give this information. but this is very unusual as far as a world leader. >> so your problem is not that he is tweeting about being in florida, or new jersey, or at the white house. most days -- lately he has been relitigating the russia case. ...

Saying is saving our opponents and enemies work? >> it exposes his priorities and tells us what news programs hes watching and what hes reading. whats top of mind at any given hour of in addition, it tells us what his vulnerabilities are when hes concerned about a russian investigation, that gives him a sense of what could they use to influence the president, cause disruption, and possibly win favor with him? his deleted tweets also give a little bit of insight into how infiltered his tweets are...

Where chris wallace was pointing out he said the opposite of what he was trying to say. he denied it but the tape shows it was the case. notwithstanding that, its articulate. he has a reputation of being an effective advocate both in court and in the court of public opinion. he has a talk radio show. hes a frequent guest on conservative cable and news programs, especially the sean hannity program on fox news. we think his job as part of trumps outside legal team is not going to be crafting legal...

Saying the president didnt discuss sources ormethods with the russians. we heard that from the secretary of state, from mcmaster. that is not what "the washington post" actually reported. do you see any parallels -- when you hear a statement by that -- like that, someone might call a non-denial denial, what stands out to you? >> well, i think this is just damage control by the white house with our partner, whoever we got the information from. its not unexpected the white house would deny the sto...

Story and narrow it down to what they think is appropriate. >> does it -- is there a benefit in coming out and making a statement that doesnt really address the actual story? because then obviously, news programs point out immediately, well, that was an interesting statement but when you actually look at the words, its actually not referring to what the actual report said. >> it is conspicuous. i heard it on the radio. i didnt even read it. i read it later. its very obvious they are not banging ...

Yet the news programs, viewership is up substantially during the first months, the subscriptions of "the new york times," "washington post," those are up, isnt he actually helping the very media that he savages? >> yeah, but there is a more important point i want to make. what happened yesterday was not the signing of a law. it was the first of multiple, lets not compare a bill signing for a law, whether or not we agree with it. one thing to watch for, president trump at the white house yesterda...

Incompetent and to me inexcusable considering this was one of their main promises. i think, maybe im really overstating my abilities in life that i think i couldve worked a lot faster, the freedom caucus in the tuesday group and the study group and these moderate groups did it on their own there seem to be no leadership in the separate, none. >> here again, you are very skilled, heres what i know that isnt making the nightly news or some of the news programs. i have talked directly with a member...

>> margaret hoover said she makes a point never to be alone with bill oreilly while at fox news as well. she is with cnn. you are saying retroactively this could have been taken care of a while ago. thats how it works in television. there are people that are above the law. just like politics. they are above the law. >> are they really? >> until the complaints come in. this is not justifying it. im getting in the executives head. we cant get into this because he called a woman blonde. >> here is ...
