Working here at the white house today. that additional hour made us wonder, what are they working on? are they doing more research? i almost felt that perhaps the president would walk into the briefing room himself. instead, his words came through, sean spicer. that is the job of the press secretary, to be the voice of the president. you could almost feel it today in the tension in that room. especially because the facts that were laid out according to sean spicer as you just in your last segmen...

Those dont line up with the perceptions that people had by witnessing things and the other research theyve been able to pull together. certainly criticism of how things are reported is expected. thats part of the vigorous back and forth that happens. but theres usually also a chance for us to ask questions. they did say this was a statement, not a press briefing, and that is a distinction that could be important in this instance. but we wanted to ask about the womens march and the crowds that yo...

Opposed to what the defense secretary has to say about it? >> i think the defense secretary will have a big say as to what happens in the white house. i think what they will try to do is trade off what they can -- how much support they can get from russia to deal with isis, to freeze out iran and maybe trade that off against the policies on nato. this would be a shame. the russians really do understand linkage. what they did in crimea, by seizing it illegally and doing in ukraine, these are real...

Hillary said during one of the debates which is, of course, russia wants trump to win because hell be a puppet for them. he has demonstrated nothing to the contrary. >> okay. thats going to have to do. >> the negative perceptions in the media, the people in the streets are excited about him. this is the same perception of folks that didnt think he was going to win that i sat there saying hes going to win and they were saying absolutely not smirking and laughing. they think everything on the news...

Instead of what has happened, what will happen. whats your advice to donald trump, again, someone you know very well, in dealing with vladimir putin going forward? you just called vladimir putin evil on this show. >> donald trump has to say for himself. we have experienced previous u.s. presidents. putin lived through clinton, george bush looked in his eyes and saw his soul. george bush clearly wasnt on the right page on that one. we in the neighborhood suffered a lot initially from the percepti...

I would argue that the stuff that came out about her from her, by her, the classified information, was much more damning than hearing that donna brazile might have given her some questions in a debate. julie: first of all, this is by virtue not just my opinion -- kennedy: how is that quantifiably changing election? take all the information, all these perceptions, you have so many different elements creating peoples opinions. you. dagen: you know why president obama and everybody in his administr...

>> well, i mean, her career was shaped obviously in most peoples perceptions by "star wars," but she was really a multifaceted talent and a tremendous writer. wrote books and made a very good living as a script doctor working on movies like "hook" and "the wedding singer" and punching up dialogue on those. in terms of her acting career, "star wars" came so early in her career that it probably closed some doors for her, and she played comic roles and supporting roles. but the career that she had ...

Like -- guz it matter what is happening on the ground macroeconomicly or is it refr t refracted through peoples partisan perceptions but? theres a piece out of elkhart, indiana, where the place is doing much better but people are like "yeah, were doing better but not because of barack obama." and they said that she sees the biggest signs are hope in the economy in the carrier deal, hes not even president and hes helping the economy. do you think what happens on the ground matter? >> i think what...

To change perceptions and build up belief in the possibility of peace. and the truth is the extraordinary polarization in this conflict extends beyond israelis and palestinians, allies of both sides are content to reinforce this with -- youre with us or against us mentality, we are too often anyone that questions palestinian actions is an apologist for the occupation and anyone who disagrees with is ral policy is cast as antisematic. thats one of the most striking realities about the current sit...
