Does anyone in this room really believe that . Give me a break. Charles tammy, here is the interesting thing. Russia in the news, the intel story lasted a couple weeks and the doozy last night and this morning. Were you surprised toward the end when donald trump talked about maybe he and putin wont get along and there will be consequences for that as well. This is a man while hes been challenging in the way he has spoken. The fact of the matter is he became president for a reason. He has run a company all his life and had a great reputation. Charles it felt like the bromance wasnt necessarily broken today, but it was saying think does not supersede. We were seeing a media creation. You didnt have a bromance when obama was reaching out to medvedev. While the a good thing to have a Good Relationship with people around the world, the media wanted to kaits as something strange and extreme. Liberals are even more freak out because they wanted donald trump to be a clown, they wanted him to fail. He was unflappable, he was clear web was competent. They are realizing this is not a game. Since liberals are nervous, i think he did a good job. Charles bob, well worth the wait. It covered a lot of topics. National security, russia. What are your overall impressions. It was definitely a show and it didnt disappoint. Hes a showman and entertainer. But he also got into policy. One of the thorniest issues was how do they get rid of obamacare, an talked about that. But it was a show bashing the media, going after anyone who challenged him. And i agree. He was in control of that press conference. This trump administration, his Incoming Administration is going to make a lot of people in washington very uncomfortable and thats what he promised on the campaign trail. Charles captain nash, we know with the putin thing and russia. The intel reports saying there is no doubt russia tried to influence the election, i think the argument over whether they got him elected, no one believes that. But he also brought out other issues. Everyone is spying on us and attack us because we have had a figure a feckless policy up until now. The pentagon gets 30,00040,000 Cyber Attacks a day trying to break into the system. The chinese have been running all overt u. S. Defense contractors and aerospace companies. All of this is not news. Its not news. So what we have to do is understand that right now there is extreme distrust between the American People and the American Government thats been built up over some time now. When you see things like this, and the potential for the politicalization of intelligence such as the Central Command intel where the 50 analysts blew the whistle and caused some investigations because their intelligence was being changed, you have to see not only a distrust between the American People and their government at large. But focusing now on what is the Intelligence Community up to. Charles to that point of bringing that trust back between the oval office and main street america, donald trump talked about his business dealing. A 2 billion offer for projects in dubai . Legally he could have accepted it, he did not. Im not sure how many people would turn down 2 billion if they didnt have to. First of all, i have got to say, i got online and ordered one of those Movie Theater popcorn machines because i need one for the press conferences coming up today. Not only that, but because of the medias complaining and pounding the fists on the table over ethics. He said in addition to turning down a 2 billion deal, any time a Foreign Government uses one of my hotels im donating the money to the United States treasury for the taxpayers. What did the left do . They were cynical about it questioning his motives. They were the ones who wanted him to give up the money. Charles i have got one of those popcorn thingst home. I love it. But we need a new engine for that bad boy. The energy of it, the scope, the breadth of topics. The rapidfire responses. The Mainstream Media will have to go home tonight and figure out what can they do . Donald trump was on point. Of course, simultaneously you have confirmation hearings going on. Up to that point tillerson and many others doing extraordinarily well. You had not only donald trump delivering in a good way. He was very confident. But you also had important information, the va announcement who will be the va secretary, his points about this business and his sons who he said he would fire if they didnt do a good job at the end of 8 years. The media realizes they cant be fan boys at a onedirection concert. They are not the boss of the president , right . The president is going to be in control of that room. Its not legally required to have press conferences. This is about transparency. Donald trump unlike barack obama who would take one question in 10 minutes to run out the clock. This is a man who took if the questions seriously and went forward with them. Stop looking at president as if hes the enemy and start focusing on the American People. I dont know if thats going to change. But i believe there is a certain level of disrespect. Hes still president elect trump if you want to be technical by the. But it felt like there was an element of disrespect for the office in that press conference today. We interviewed sean spicer the incoming press secretary and thats what he said. The media is not showing any respect to trump. The way he handles press conferences, he has gone the better dealing with the press. Im a huge fan of the First Amendment, dont think it should be curbed. But if they are going to change how they deal with the press and the daily briefing, thats up to them, they can do that. Mike mccurry suggested the televised briefings should go away. Hes the boss. Obviously if he makes a controversial decision he will take some plaque. But overall he can change how business is done in washington. Charles coming up, well talk about donald trump and the Congressional Republicans promised to repeal and replace has been questioned this week. Donald trump says hes got it covered.

Charles the last couple peeks have seen a lot of rumblings how to fix obamacare. Republicans were fearful, if you break it you own it. It was a rare moment when donald trump skipped out of on the big political points the party could have scored and instead said he would rescue the docrats and the healthcare stem in the process. I said this two years ago. 17 will be the bad year. It will be catastrophic. We could sit back from a political stand point, but it wouldnt be fair to the people. We could sit back and wait and watch and criticize. Charles with me tammy bruce. And erickson. In watched, when one Political Party sees another failing, they gain political points from that. By allowing obamacare to melt down for another year and blame the democrats would be great political points. But donald trump is saying lets save the American Public instead. It struck me as well. Very interesting he would say that and make a point that hes taking the political game off the table. You could see barack obama when he came into office with the collapse of General Motors and the collapse of the base, gragd it out, blaming george bush for everything before he tried to fix it. He said we are going to goaf right in and fix it, and pointing out the republicans are going to get credit for saving a failed system it has gotten to the point where right after the election the democrats were saying it would be impossible to repeal obamacare, but now they are saying fin repeal it, its legacy will be oh impactful. Charles both parties, there are a lot of republicans who would rather step away, let it melt down, blame obama and score political points. But ultimately they were elected to fix things like this. When we had the midterms and they got in 2010 and 2014. But what thenned up doing is what donald trump said he wouldnt do. They sought back and waited. The problem is its our lives that were impacted. The American People saw that. It was that retreat that we rejected. We want action. We are tired of the political games and we are tired of a government who thinks this is their board game and we are the observers. Donald trump underands that because he comes fm us. We have a job to do and things to fix. Whats key with trump, the reason why it will work is communication. So now the people have heard that messaging which you discussed and they never heard it described that way before. We can do it now and he will make sure the American People know why we are handling it this way. We madder republicans grumble about not having a replacement ready immediately. I dont think they are being disseason geneous. But it feels like many of them are trying funnel rather than address this problem. They are at a crossroads. They dont have a detailed plan they have stawfl colessed behind. But instead of punting, some of them are saying we dont want to make it effective two years from now and have nothing in between. If we wait two years and we cant do it well have to keep punting and obamacare will never go away its a governing summit they will need to decide how to proceed with this. But on obama care its been a political boon. Now they have have got to resolve it and fix it. Charles the stock market stalled sat one point. City went down, drug stocks. Do you have any issue with donald saying because we buy so many pharmaceuticals we should put pressure on these Drug Companies which means it squeeze the margins a little bit. Republicans have been loathe to use their power even for immediate i kade to affect drug prices. Im always concerned when the government gets involved in this. But there are Free Market Solutions that will help with this that the democrats flat out avoid and legislated against. I have got a percent that investment in this. My wife has a rare form of slung cancer. And her medicine is 16,000 a month. Driving the costs down is a brilliant idea. Pant democrats refused to do it because it would be even admission the me free market cant lower sthk costs. This is something the democrats have wanted, which is lower drug prices. Is this a way to get the democrats to the table as the an edge to help with obamacare . The fake news machine is a big machine. But starting to fall apart. His fiery exchanges with one po next. Fake news, its all fake news. Its so false and fake. False and fake. Go ahead. Not you, not you. Your organization is terrible. Your organization is terrible. Lets go, go ahead. Quite, quite. Go ahead, she is asking a question, dont be rude. Dont be rude. Dont be rude. Im not going a question. You are fake news. A thing called fake news. Some of the Media Outlets i deal with are fake news. Charles donald trump firing back against buzzfeed, calling it a failing pile of garbage for publish an unverified salacious the article and cnn after they forward these unsubject stainsated claims. That was some scene today. Not exactly what we see in most president ial press conferences. Hes reflecting the sentiment of many out there. And its really something i am march velg at. March i am ha i am marveling. The reality is they need him a lot more than he needs them. Charles isnt there couldnt there be some anxiety . The rating games is tougher today than back in the day. Its really a tough game these days and it feels like fake news is the way to get the headlines. I dont think it is. If you look at the number of, they are laying people off, newspapers are closing. The Networks Presenting honest news, they are having wild ratings. And il give one example without naming any names. I have never once been edited, told what to say or mad my mic cut on fox network. But that has happened to me and many. My colleagues on other networks 367 until they are willing to let commentators speak freely, i dont think they have a right to complain about First Amendment rights. Charles buzzfeed is trying to justify this. Even throughout the report they said its unverified from a mystery person. But they it out there anyway. There is no excuse to publish what they just published. Uncorroborated. Unverified. They admit we know there are errors in here but we are going to do it anyway. The fact that they are standing by this is deplorable. Charles cnn said we are not buzzfeed, we are forwarding it without saying it was factual. They are more cautious than buzzfeed but they said donald trump was debriefed on this part of the dossier. Nbc is saying that never happened. I folgtd it interesting that all this information went out the day before Donald TrumpsFirst Press Conference in 168 days. I remember two days before the president ial debate access Hollywood Tape got leaked out. And before another debate his 1995 tax returns were leaked out. So the timing seems to coincide when trump is about to be on a big stage. Charles since the election there have been oh many attempts by progressives to delegitimize the trump presidency. And to borrow a phrase from joe, hoping something would stick. They dominated for decades and conservatives have never had the ability to fight back. But donald trump has reorganized not just the way politics is done, but also the way media is done. Now they are losing and they are desperate, and its showing in every day. Its judo, and every time they hit him, he hits harder. We are wondering if they will ever catch on. 200 reporters were in that room, charles. Jim acosta doesnt have a right to ask a question and demand to the president elect you have t let me ask you a question. What about the other reporters in the room. Charles donald trump did take a cnn question shortly after. Senators from both parties are going at it with Donald Trumps nominees on capitol hill. As soon as i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot, i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Injectiowhile on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Wheyou wantve somto protect it.

Senator sessions had not demonstrated a commitment to a central requisite from the job to pursuit congressional mandate of civil right, equal rights and justice for all of off citizens. Charles that was democrat cory booker going at it with fellow senator Jeff Sessions. Donald trumps pick for attorney general. Also today at hearing rex tillerson, he got choice words is Vladimir Putin a war criminal. I would not use that term. It should not be hard to say that Vladimir Putin a i find it discouraging your inability to cite that. Charles what is the deal with marco rubio today . A lot of people like does high to start world war iii tomorrow what is going on . I think he was closing chapter out. I think marco rubio will vote for tillerson for secretary of state. That is pretty forward. I tell you what was shameful today was senator booker. I will tell you off the bat, you need to see what fred gray the attorney for rosa parks and king jr.

Charles what to
