news. we re honored to have you here. i appreciate it. i want to get to your book in a second, but first of all, i want to get your reaction to this tweet from the president, quote, why isn t the senate intelligence committee looking into our country to see why so much of our news is just made up. fake. now speaking of made up and fake. according to to the washington post fact checker, president trump has made 1,145 false or misleading claims in his first 232 days in office. but you heard sarah sanders talking about how with the first amendment comes the responsibility for us. what about for the president? i ll put our record up against his. i mean, i really do. and i say that with respect, but you know, jake, one of the reasons that donald trump got elected was the way he ran his campaign and whether he knew it or not, he was employing this old strategy that lyndon crosby, who is an australian political consultant came up with the answer for this, and it was
campaign and every election official take this very seriously as we move into this november s election and as we move into preparation for the 2018 election. bill: this is very important. i don t know if they ll take action before then. we ll wait and see. this is the bug for democrats. they don t think the administration is taking it seriously enough. and the president will come out and say you are just trying to undermine my victory. isn t that where the lines have been drawn on this? yeah. and if the president allows his concerns about that to prevent us from taking appropriate actions against a hostile foreign power that continues to try to subvert our process, that wants to hurt us, we see the reports about the kremlin-backed entities using racial strife in the united states, the football controversy about kneeling, or black lives matter, those issues. when we see them dividing americans one against the other, if we don t take this propaganda war and intelligence
