Obstructed justice because he cite sized what is a witch hunt. Telling the truth. The white house and their attorneys say this is what the president thinks. First amendment. Hes not you. Hes not me. Hes the president. He has control over these probes. The President Tweeting out to his Attorney General that he should end this travesty, the mueller witch hunt. Then you hear the clucking nasty voices from the left. Howie trump brings more attention to the manafort case by saying hes being treated worse than al capone. Well talk to corey lewandowski. A war of words erupts between the president and a. G. Sulzberger. As the crowd screams at cnns jim acosta. With cbs chairman Les Moonves Fighting for his job. One of his own stars speaks out. I like working for him. But accountability is meaningless unless its for everybody. Whether its the leader of a network or the leader of the free world. Howie im howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. [ ] President Trump has been denouncing the Mueller Investigation for many months. But this week he caused a Media Explosion by Ratcheting Up The Media on Jeff Sessions. He said the Attorney General should stop the witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further. Joining us. Mollie hemingway. Gillian turner and capri cafaro. A Washington Examiner contributor and former democratic senator in ohio. Hes suggesting his Attorney General blow off the fact that he recused himself for ethical reasons. Is the media storm around this justified . Mollie its good to talk about this. But we need media people who understand how donald trump speaks. After two years of seeing him speak in public and seeing his tweets you would expect them to understand him better. Hes expressing frustration with a probe that sidelined his administration for a year and a
hes asking good questions. Capri it doesnt mean they shouldnt continue to do the work they are doing. Howie i interviewed Rudy Giuliani this week, the president s personal lawyer. I asked him, i said he i said he named sessions. And he said he was talking about a generic Attorney General. Capri i think there has been a lot of scrutiny on this. On one hand there are some in the media that understand sort of the nuances of donald trump. He gets frustrated. He sees something, he takes to twitter and reacts. But because of the nature of this. Because there is all the
implicitly. Howie the president takes to twitter and he says, who was treated worse, al capone or Paul Manafort and driving attention to a trial that was already being covered, but maybe not being covered constantly. Ill that was an instant trump tweet. The president wants to do a sliding scale, everything is comparative, egg i everythins subjective. The first thing he did when manafort was indicted. He said well, what wall man for the has done is not well, what Paul Manafort has done is not nearly as bad pass what was done by hillary clinton. Capri should you not be asking
were surveyed. Number 1 was [inaudible] howie the president used the word disgusting at the pennsylvania rally. This morning he tweeted they purposely caused Distrust Answer they also cause war. They are over the top and sick. Mollie the best way to cover donald trump is to cover him straight. When you behave in such a clownish fashion where they are open about how they view their job as resisting him. Its a talking pointed that resonates with the American People. A recent poll shows 72 of americans believe the media regularly puts out fake, false
and misleading information. This is going to continue until such time as the media take their jobs more seriously and start covering him straight. Howie ivanka trump was interviewed by axios, she said though i do not like the inaccurate media about me, but i do not view the media as the ken any of the people. Gillian there is a reason the president gets pushback on comments from the left. And not from republicans, lawmakers on capitol hill. Other government officials. Its because i think a lot of this comes from the idea the president is expressing a frustration the president has had since the reagan

Howie President Trump throwing a body block at Le Bron James after the nba star said this. Its a new sport to divide. Thats something i cant relate to. Howie trump tweeted Le Bron James was interviewed by the dumbest man on television, don lemon, ban he made le bron look
smart. Is it smart to be brawling with an nba star . Mollie people dont like to see the president go after athletes and they dont like athletes to go after the president. He gave it to don lemon. The media and some of his colleagues only focused on what he said about le bron. Howie le bron says who is the real dummy, someone who puts kids in cages. Capri don lemon is always resisting against donald trump every night on cnn. If the tables were turned. Don lemon is giving some trump to trump. People praise donald trump for saying if he has his back up
against the wall, hell fight back. Thats what don lemon did. Howie Melania Trump says it looks like Le Bron James is working to do good things. The first lady encourages that. New york Times Publisher a. G. Sulzberger has an offtherecord meeting with President Trump. And then sulzberger pushes back. The fact that he had this meeting does it suggest he cares about the opinion of his Hometown Newspaper . Gillian the more important thing with this meeting is it underscores what i love to talk. With regard to foreign policy. He believes fervently in the
power of his interpersonal skills. If he can just get these people face to face he can make them see the light. Howie i have seen him do that. Suldulds berger said he warned t its leading to threats against journalists and will lead to violence. There are two problems with his statement. If inflammatory rhetoric causes violence, the media needs to be thinking about their inflammatory rhetoric against republicans. We have seen shootings of congressmen and people getting arrested. I think people are responsible for their own actions and you cant blame the rhetoric. He says Donald Trumps rhetoric
is dangerous and divisive. This week the New York Times hired sarah jeong and necessity testified it as if its not a problem. Howie the president comes back with a series of tweets. When the media driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome, it puts the lives of journalists at risk. Very unpatriotic. Revealing the secrets of government has gone on since the founding of the republic. Capri i suspect well continue to hear Trump Derangement Syndrome from the president in his tweets. The fact of what happened in this meeting between President Trump and the New York Times. Who do we trust answer who do we
believe is telling the truth. The president of the United States or the New York Times. Howie if its the epa or hhs. Both leaders who were fired. Itits jim acosta says the president is whipping up violence against him. John kelly is still alive and Walking Around the white house.

Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. Howie anyone following the Media Coverage of john kelly would have been convinced the white house Chief Of Staff was toast, he was history. I am told the president asked kelly what they were going to do about the stories and asked if
he would stay on for the rest of the first term and he said yes. What does that say about this Media Drum Beat based on named sources. The a. P. , its leading Trump Staffers to believe kelly is work on borrowed time. Abc, the president has once again started contemplating his possible replacements. A source telling cnn the president is talking to friends about possible replacements for john kelly. White house Chief Of Staff john kelly may be ready to leave his job very soon. It could come this week or the midjuly trip to europe. The reports he was likely to leave by july 31. And that he repeatedly referred
to trump as an idiot. Hell be leaving by his own choice or by President Trump deciding he had enough. Howie trumps decision to keep kelly doesnt knock down stories that kelly has vented to others about wanting to leave or he offered his resignation after the furor over rob porter. And kelly may not make it through 2020. The president could change his mind next month or even next week. Those who work for this president dont always know what hes going to do. Using sources to predict what hes going to do and dismissing the official denial is risky business. Corey lewandowski has constantly been battling the press on twitter. With the Crowd Yelling and
cursing jim acosta, well talk to the reporter who pressed Sarah Huckabee sanders on the issue. burke abstract accident. Seen it. Covered it. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum
howie with so many Media Controversies swirling around the president from the manafort trial to the angry antipress crowds. Joining us is corey lewandowski, President Trumps former Campaign Manager now with pences pac. I covered the mutual warfare with the press. I have never seen the president so resentful of his coverage and using language like unpatriotic and enemy of the people. Is this a strategy working for him . I dont speak for the president. But on behalf of him. When you look at the coverage of one historic thing that happened this week was almost nothing. We had u. S. Soldier remains
returned back to hawaii after the north korean conflict. Mike pence went over there. Most of of the major Media Outlets didnt cover it. Its frustrating for the president to get so little credit on something so important. He has to talk about his own message. He knows if he doesnt do it, nobody will do it for him. Howie i said earlier it was a mistake. Only fox news carried the care money live. When you say he has to talk about his agenda. Beating up on the press, he has the right to do that if he thinks the coverage is mostly negative. What does he gain out of the pounding every single day . If you look at the recent numbers, the plurality of the people believe the press is not fair to this president. 90 has been negative to an unbiased source. This company delineated each individual Television Network and hot American People believe is the fairest. The bbc is number of one, fox is number two. And at the bottom is cnn. They have been so bias against this president. 4. 1 growth rate in gdp. The lowest unemployment for hispanics and africanamericans. The president is receiving almost 30 of the africanamerican you north this country. Thats unprecedented. If that was barack obama and he was a republican, they would be touting this. Hes up 15 points are covered. That the president isnt qualified to have these conversations. Other World Leaders see that and they take exception to it. Howie the summit with kim jongun got a lot of coverage. There is a way to go in the negotiations and the white house would acknowledge that. The Mueller Investigation the subject of many president ial tweets. The president is obsessed with the Russia Collusion allegations. But every time he tweets about it, and particularly the President TweetingJeff Sessions should do something by the and shut it down, he just drives more coverage to this story. The president knows clearly Jeff Sessions has recused himself from this investigation. I heard Newt Gingrich talk about the fact that 90 of the items Jeff Sessions recused himself from he didnt need to. I think thats probably true. The president knows Jeff Sessions wont end this investigation. But its also fair, this has been going on for a year and a half. There is no collusion, coordination and cooperation between them lets have the country move on and prove there was no collusion between the Trump Campaign and anyone in russia to impact the election. Thats a fair thing to do. Howie Paul Manafort, the trial began this week. He replaced you as Campaign Chairman in 2016. Given what we know now, millions of dollars from ukraine and he was broke at the time and trying to retain a lavish lifestyle. Do you think hiring Paul Manafort was a mistake . I think it was a mistake. I think i should have stayed until the end of the campaign. I was doing a pretty good job in primaries and caucuses. Im not a fan of Paul Manafort. Whatever he did had nothing to. With the campaign or with his Tenure Volunteering or working for the trump organization. But is he getting the same treatment every other american would get if they were accused of the same thing . Im not a Paul Manafort fan. But i look at this objectively. Would somebody else be locked in prison in Solitary Confinement when they were never audited by the irs . And the Media Scrutiny around Paul Manafort is at the highest levels because for a brief period he was associated with the campaign. Looking back on it, paul
probably realizes it was a mistake to come to
