Elect an apology for childish and inappropriate behavior. Day two of the hearings for senator Jeff Sessions of alabama and something unprecedented is about to happen. In the choice between standing with senate norm or standing up, i will always chose conscious and country. Let me ask you this question, is Vladimir Putin a war criminal . I would not use that term. The question is is that the most effective way to have progress continue to be made, there seems to be some misunderstanding that somehow i see the world through a different lens and i do not. Steve so thats where we start today. Thursday. Live from studio e, you know b yesterday we knew that president elect donald trump was going to give his First Press Conference in a very long time and he made about a dozen headlines, for instance, he layed out how hes going to sever ties with his company, russia did try to interfere with the election probably and hes going to donate all of the income from Foreign Governments to the federal treasury, thats great. Yet, it is a couple of news outlets that publish things in the last 48 hours that was inaccurate that really got him going. Ainsley yesterday no one is talking about that, really, everybody is focused on his press conference and the news that allegedly came out of russia about dirt on donald trump, hes saying its not true and its fake news and he went after some of the networks. Brian from the Intelligence Community to the president , sitting president of the United States to the president elect, so cnn runs with this story but not the 35 page, what they said its a twopage addendum about compromising information that russia may have about donald trump. When that came out, donald trump doesnt agree with the assessment and doesnt agree with buzzfeed 35 pages that they released which they ended by the way this was not verified. When it was time to get questions, it wasnt the list of reporters that was in front of the president or the president elect and he would call order, okay whose hand is up, creating a freeforall atmosphere. Here is donald trump trying to get to the next question when cnns reporter john or jim acosta . Ainsley watch john roberts. Watch the exchange between donald trump and that reporter from cnn who he is furious with. Since youre attacking us can you give us a question . Go ahead, go ahead. Since you are attacking us not you, not you, your organization is terrible. Youre attack our News Organization. Can you give us a chance to ask the question, sir . Quiet, quiet. Shes asking a question, dont be rude. Dont be rude. No, im not going to give you a question. Can is that state you are fake news. Sir. You can watch sean spicers face getting redder by listening to this. Cant believe that he would treat the press like that. Think about it. Who is in charge of the white house, is it the White House Press corp. Rush limbaugh loves this donald trump. Can you give us a question. What you are watching is donald trump and his Team Fighting back and refusing to accept the lay of the land as its always been, knot the republicans, donald trump. Donald trump is showing everybody in the Republican Party how its done. I mean, you cant be called anything worst than what theyve tried to call donald trump. You cant be accused of much worse than what theyve accused trump of being and doing and has it affected him, is he cowarding him in the corner, is he whining, no, hes cutting them down to size. Its a beautiful thing to watch and thats why people all over the country when they see these things are standing up and cheering. What do you think that went, i dont remember it happening to president obama, i dont remember it happening to president bush, i dont remember it happening to president clinton. But you never see Something Like this with someone of this high office in this country. We want to know what you think because donald trump looked at jim acosta, jim acosta was saying, are you going to answer my question, no, im not going to answer your question. Steve youre fake news. Ainsley he kept going on, youre being rude. What do you think, was he being rude or jim acosta should donald trump have answered some acostas questions . And the reason donald trump says cnn was fake news and brian touched on this a while ago, monday night cnn reported that during briefing on friday donald trump was presented with a twopage addendum, kind of a summary of this a compilation of dociay and trump was never given the summary. The papers were included in the package to show trump. This stuff right here, this is verified. This is unverified. So thats how it all came about. The beating that the press took yesterday does not make any reporters job easier. The people love it and the Intel Community hates it and caused the director of National Intelligence, mr. Clapper, to pick up the phone last night and he called donald trump and then put out this statement. Ainsley this evening i had the opportunity to speak with president elect trump to discuss media reports about our briefing last friday. I expressed my profound dismay of the los angeles that have been appearing at the press and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to the National Security. Whatever discussed in the meetings, something needs to be kept a secret. They are national steve clapper said that the los leaks did not come from the Intelligence Community. Ainsley donald trump said they might have. Steve where would they have come from . Ainsley someone within that room. Brian he said this is a big block on Intelligence Community. Donald trump says i know who was in the room. I talked to him. He ran a mini test, somehow this stuff is leaking out. Now, if it is true that the Intelligence Community is mad at him for calling them out three weeks ago something with the russian hacks and theyre trying to get back at him, it blew up in their face to the point where Barack Obamas national nid has picked up the phone and trying to explain to donald trump it was not us. So he blasts the report in particular about what was in the buzz can have feed. Im a germaphobe. I wont shake peoples hands. New york posts nails it when it talks about journalism. You can google it from there. It turns out that wall street journal found the investigator that was with mi5 that did the report, released back to mysterious vendor who happened to be an opponent of donald trump sometime between june and december and he was so concerned about the results he handed over to the fbi, john mccain got a hand over to fbi and thats how the unverified report was given to in some way shape or form to donald trump. Look, buzz feed never should have printed it because it was wrong, inaccurate and cnn got in trouble because some of their information was wrong. Trump, however, himself thought it went will because he tweeted out last night, we had had a great News Conference in trump tower today. A couple of fake News Organizations were there, but the people truly get whats going on. Brian also, by the way, obamacare might be history. Ainsian thats right. Steve thats her lead story. Brian ultimately you decide. That would be interesting. While you were sleeping republicans did get one step close the other repealing obamacare after seven hours, senate approving budget package to move forward, they were totally shut down. Health care should not be only for the wealthy. On behalf of the the senate will be in order. Kudos to senate for taking first step to replace, repeal and replace obamacare, now its the houses turn to get the job done. Promise keeping business, make America Great again. Well, the house votes on that measure, that is storm. In another round of Heated Senate confirmation schedules on capitol hill for today including our first look at senator of defense secretary of defense general mad dog mattis, ben carson and senator mike pompeo, mr. Trumps pick to run the cia also have hearings today. And this after marco rubio grilled defense secretary nominee Rex Tillerson over his relationship with russia. Take a listen. Is Vladimir Putin a war criminal . I would not use that term. You are still not prepared to say that Vladimir Putin and military have violated rules of war and have conducted war crimes in aleppo . Those are very, very serious charges to make and i would want to have much more information before reaching a conclusion. Ainsley Rex Tillerson will have second hearing in just a few hours. Congressman who rehung the painting of police depicted as pigs on capitol hill throwing another punch in the fierce fight to democrat lacy clay rehung picture and now demanding action from Speaker Paul Ryan sending a letter saying this, if you dont like a painting in a display, you simply move on to the next one, you dont take it down. Lacy filed theft charges against congressman hunter after he took the picture down. The painting is still hanging. Theres this First Lady Michelle Obama is moving out of the white house in just eight days but still be on hand to help the lady taking her job. We are going to be supportive to the Trump Administration as much as we can be, im available for melania, for ivanka for anyone to give advice that they get through this thing whole and healthy. She already spoke to Melania Trump about creating safe spaces about protecting sense of family. That was so great and credited the bushs for making the job easier and transition. Ainsley nice thing to hear when it seems so divided. Very nice of her. Steve thank you, abby. Ainsley they have to stick together. Coming up, more on the russia rumors, is the Intelligence Community trying or hurt the president elect. Next guest is former cia officer and he has information that you have not heard before. Sarah palin is in the headlines, she has a big secret and cant wait to reveal. Steve i cant wait to hear afoot and lighthearted i take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. The east and the west are mine. The north and the south are mine. All seems beautiful to me. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine. I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. I saw the information, its all fake news. Its phoney stuff. It didnt happen and it was gotten by opponents of ours as you know because you reported it and so did many of the other people, it was a group of opponents that got together, sick people and they put that crap together. Steve what crap is he talking about . President elect trump pointing the finger on a number of organizations, why were unverified rumors included in a brief that supposedly he got and apparently he didnt get . Former cia officer brian dean, good morning to you. Cnn got in trouble because they said on friday trump was given twopage intel report regarding the 35 page dossier. Trump was never given the summary. However, it was mentioned in passing. What say what the Intel Community did was unprecedented. It sure is. What the Intelligence Community is supposed to do is give facts with reasonable analysis, higher, degrees of confidence, you do not give unvarnished rumors to a president elect. In this case, we think, just to pass this along, you might be a russian spy. It is unprecedented. This doesnt happen. Its not suppose to happen. Steve think about it if the cia thought the president elect was a spy, he would be the last person you would tell, we are onto you. You would think. Steve yeah. Even if it was in passing, twopage memo. By the way theres this floating around. You dont do that. We are trained never to do those kinds of things. Its wickedly inappropriate and there ought to be severe consequence who did this or thought this was a good idea. Steve you have a problem with them telling trump because it was about trump. Do you have a problem telling the current president. It shouldnt havent included anywhere. Until you have verified information which frankly should go to fbi, absent that, you dont brief it. You dont brief rumors. How many rumors are in washington, d. C. About every politician. Its ridiculous. Steve there was a leak. The question is where did the leak come from . Clapper said, well, you know, this thing has been circulated on capitol hill as to pin it on members of congress. There were two parties in the room over at trump tower on friday, the trump people and the Intel Community. Yeah. Steve somebody blabbed. This is a challenge that the government, Intelligence Community faces all of the time, leaks happen frequently and usually within the administration or the hill, as a general rule. We are talking about National Security. The person who did the leaking, should they go to jail . Absolutely specially accusing the the president of being a spy. Steve under this administration maybe not get in trouble because it clearly was meant to discredit donald trump but donald trump is going to get the keys to air force one in eight days. Sure. The Intelligence Community owes an apology to the American People because this denigrates who we are and talking to some of my former colleagues we are gasped, we cannot believe this is happening. Steve thank you very much. Coming up, pain killers, are Drug Companies intentionally profiting off of addiction in the country . Details coming up next.

Im going to have to stay somewhere else. Meanwhile ainsley thanks, brian. Opioids are the main contributor of deaths from drug overdoses, over 33,000 people died from opioid use. New jerseys governor Chris Christie join pped us yesterday and spoke about new jerseys own struggle with drug addiction, listen to what he said. Last year in new jersey four times the number of people died of drug overdosed than were murdered. Three times as many people died of overdoes than died in automobile accident. This is epidemic and we need to understand that this is a disease, its not a moral failing, its a disease. Ainsley new jersey is among many states dealing with this epidemic, so could drug firms and Drug Companies be to blame for this problem . Here to weigh in dr. Nicole. Good morning. Ainsley for folks at home that doesnt know what opioids, what are examples . Vicodin, theres a number of painkillers. Ainsley is christie spot on . He hit the nail on the head. Without a doubt, we are in the midst of unprecedented Opioid Epidemic nationally. As we mentioned, 33,000 people in 2015 died alone during to opioidrelated overdoses and thats four times what we were seeing in 2000. Theres definitely a crisis. We are in the middle of it and it would be remiss for us to keep ignoring it. Ainsley what about his solution for the problem . He wants to tell doctors not to write many prescriptions for the problems . Less than 20 of people who overdoes are those appropriately taking, cancer pain, relentless pain that people need medications for for their quality of life. My concern is if we take away prescribing rights, then these patients will have decrease quality of life and decrease life expectancy. Ainsley if you are addicted to pain killers, it leads to heroin. We can put up statickics, statistics, 580 people. They were originally on prescription pain pills. About 80 of those, 75 to 80 were not using own appropriate prescriptions. They were using someone elses. So patients are getting prescriptions but other people are abusing them, they are getting them to the wrong hands. What we need to do is stop that. We need to make sure that this doesnt take place. Ainsley who is to blame for this . The Drug Companies are, they are trying to profit off of peoples addictions. Sure, to say the Drug Companies are to blame would be a small narrow vision. A lot of people. Those are few and far between. Its very complex, its not as easy just throwing pain med
