Obama, Jillian Turner and todays hash tag one lucky guy, the executive producer and cohost of the bernie and sid show bernie mcgurk. Out numbered. How are you. Whats going on. Showing my love to the peeps. Oh. Its like that. And to you ladies of course. Last friday in february, the legacy in the tunnel. A beautiful warm day here in new york, 65degrees. Spring and sun shine. Yeah. Thats right. Helpy friday. I thought it was me. Yeah, with all of us together. I never get credit for anything. Give me the hug. She says that to all the fellas. We gotta get this friday moving. Lets do it. Get it started, harris. The president taking center stage on the third day of the conservative summit just outside our nations capitol, blasting the Mainstream Media calling them dishonest. He even accused some reporters saying tightser its time to start naming the people who are attacking them. Heres part of these remarks. A few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are, they are the enemy of the people. Because they have no sources, they just make them up when there are none. Theyre very dishonest people. In covering my comments, the Dishonest Media did not explain that i called the fake news the enemy of the people. The fake news. They dropped off the word fake. Im not against the media, im not against the press, i dont mind bad stories if i deserve them. Im against the people that make up stories and make up sources. They shouldnt be allowed to use sources unless they use somebodys name. Let their name be put out there. That is certainly a fiery speech. Come on. Your initial reactions. My initial reaction is i love it when he takes the dishonest press. When hes talking about the fake news people, lets not forget some of this stuff. Its damaging in stuff like the mlk bus, remember that . Designed to imply that hes a racist, he took Martin Luther king out. You didnt see the corrections anywhere. Then the moscow hookers thing, that was cnn that put that out there when other news organizations wouldnt go with it. That New York Times with the with the Constant Contact with the russian spies turned out to be fake, over blown, rehashed garbage. The press has gone after all republicans in the past, nixon, reagan, bush, he fights back and to me its so refreshing to see keep doing it is what i say. Harris, what do you think . I thought your face said it all. Because when you think about the role of a journalist and sources, it has hong been the case that you can just call them sources but the question is now how many sources should you have when youre talking about really important things today and do you think they should be named . I dont think you should name on weather your sources. Journalists have gone to prison, not prison but jail. Theyve spent time for not cooperating to name their sources because we dont have to. But i would suggest we meet the president and others halfway with this. Theres nothing wrong with saying how you sourced a story . Did you talk with one, did you talk with 50 . I think that kind of transparency isnt just interesting, its needed now because the president isnt the only person who mistrusts the reporting thats going on. Can we meet them halfway with as much information that we can give and still keep our sources confidential so we have an information flow. If you say youre going to out everybody, the only thing were going to be doing is talking to each other. In many of the biggest stories in history we needed sourcing. However, ill meet the president half way on that. You cant just say stuff off the cuff because you like it. You had steve bannon come out yesterday, his chief strategist, really a mystery man. This is the first time weve heard him speak since President Trump won the election. He also doubled down on the media and the bias we have seen since he took office. Actually expect it to get worse if we follow through on our promises. Weve got a great sound bite of him for you. Its not only not going to get better its going to get worse every day. Heres why. By the way, the internal logic makes sense. Theyre corporatest, globallest media that are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda. If you think theyre going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. Every day, every day it is going to be a fight. I think its good, steve bannon finally came out and spoke because we were joking yesterday that we didnt really even know his voice. Can you explain foo me what a global media is . I dont understand what maybe Steve Bannons conception of a globallest media is. What i understand it to be is a media that is not so, um, america centric, as we tend to have in this country. When you travel over seas to other countries, pretty much everywhere, theres a much better balance of coverage in terms of whats happening domestically, politics, you know all that kind of stuff, the regulatory environment, and a little bit of heres whats happening in the rest of the world. Sometimes we really lack that in this country. I think the idea of a globallest media is something wonderful. I know thats not what steve bannon means. Hes talking about people who really i think his conception of globallest is a person who really doesnt care about the United States and doesnt put the United States first, which i think is hog wash. Something else interesting about this people love the idea of this evil genius controlling hand in any administration, you know in the Bush Administration it was dick cheney. In the Obama Administration i guess the David Axlerod and Valerie Jared type. Kind of a slash. The way hes been described in the media, you envision this darth vadartype figure and you hear him on the stage yesterday and he wasnt that. I want to pose this question, she said the battle for the deconstruction of the administrative state. These are very intense, its very intense rhetoric coming out of the white house. The era of big government, weve heard that i think thats what hes twerking about. As far as the globalist media hes talking about, i believe quay, anyway, the open borders crowd, the free trade crowd as opposed to fair trade. Every wants the wants the open borders, were all equal, he doesnt believe in the exceptionalism of this country, the same thing which got brexit succeeding over in england, that thats the globalist mentality. Hold on, though, because when bannon is talking about the, what does he call it . The administrative state. Hes not just talking about oh, bureaucracy and regulation, hes referring to something much more mu level pbt. Thats this idea deep state a core of liberal Civil Servants that doesnt actually really exist. Ive workd the and made it to the other side, im here to tell everyone, its a conspiracy theory. It does not exist. Where are all these leaks coming from that are coming . Theyre coming a lot of them are coming from the white house. Intel people who are trying to usurp the rez president of the United States. Are there leaks, buts theres leaks from the white house. If the president s cant keep the white house under control, how do you expect the fbi to do it can we go back to the attacks on the media because i think all of us collectively are living in the media. The idea theres sort of one colonel, the question i have for them is a statement i can only trust breitbart, that is the only real news media. I need the definition of what fake news is to be more clear. How did you repond to that . The fake news, i outlined a couple of examples early on but the fake news again were going to get to the story a little bit later about Reince Priebus and the fbi. The way that. The way they harp on that and try to convey that Reince Priebus actually initiatessed the contact which was not true. You would believe that if you saw the News Coverage all morning long. So what we just saw the president do is give his own exame. Isnt just germests making mistakes. Zeek miller the Pool Reporter inside the white house who said you know, Martin Luther kings bus was removed from the bust was removed from the office. Eight hours later he tweets i guess it was behind the guard of the door. Thats just not responsible. But the example that the president gave today, though, was more incidious than that. He said i can say that i got a standing ovation, in fact, how about a standing ovation. Theyre going to say not everybody is standing, but you all agree youre looking at each other standing. He said i fully anticipates somebody will write that i didnt get a standing ovation. Hes in part joking, but what hes also saying is it almost doesnt matter what he does, Something Different will be reported. Thats what i think he means by fake news. Theres also a frustration with the american people. They dont know where to go anymore to get their news. They dont know to really get an understanding of what is going on in the white house. You got that from steve bannon saying here are the things were working on, here it is what the president is focused on doing but youre not going to hear that in a lot of the news our outlets. Theres a disconnect going on. I thing its hurtful most importantly to the american people. One thing is sure, the president is driving this conversation. This what hes focused on. So were all paying more attention to it. The question is does this make journalists act more responsibly because they know theyve gotta say heres how i source. Not with whom. But president im going to push as many directions as i can with good questioning but also going to report exactly what your answers are. A great place to start with it that start quickly by defining and understanding the difference between those two things, which too many journalists are getting caught up in the commentary. Interesting. All right, another apparent leak from a top agency rocking washington, the president s blistering words for the fbi of a report involving white house chief of staff Reince Priebus. John roberts live at the white house gets to the bottom of this. Plus, the president greeted like a rock star at cpac, the hope he brings as republicans have a chance to remake washington. Fun in art class. Come close, come close. I like that. [ all sounds come to a crashing halt ] ah. When your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. Awww. Try this. For minor arthritis pain, only aleve is fda approved to work for up to 12 straight hours with just one pill. Thank you. Come on everybody. Aleve. Live whole. Not part. And i finally found our big idaho potato truck. Its been touring the country telling folks about our heart healthy idaho potatoes, americas favorite potatoes, and donating to local charities along the way. But now its finally back home where it belongs. Aw man. Hey, wait up. Where you goin . Here we go again. I love to see businesses that just started from ground up grow into further success. It just feels good to know that im helping someone else. My first goal is to learn about their business, what theyre currently doing in their advertising. Pull some research, create a great story. Trying to figure out some way of building some kind of trust in a very quick moment. You have to love to work with people. Our goal, without a doubt, is that all customers are satisfied before they leave. Its a feisty friday on the couch. President is slamming the fbi over apparent leaks that he says could be damaging to americas security. The president and his aids are also hitting back an reports that chief of staff Reince Priebus called on the fbi to throw cold water on a new story which linked the campaign to russians. This story is getting hotter. Reached tight pressure them to kill this story in the New York Times that the fbi had transcripts of contacts between Campaign Officials last year and people with intelligence. Sayish it was an intelligence committee. Came up to the chief of staff and said can i get five minutes of your time during which he said this whole story was a bunch of b. S. , and thats a direct quote. The reaction was well, can we do anything to correct the record . Mccabe said let me take you back to the office and think about it apparently told him the fbi doesnt get into commenting on stories, nunez from the House Intelligence Committee after an fbi briefing said he didnt have any information to suggest anything in the report was true. Talked to james comey the fbi director and said we cant comment, priebus said do you mind if i do, and comey said yeah, go ahead. Priebus went to fox and friends and said im told the higher people of intelligence this story is incorrect, over blown, et cetera. The democrats as you can imagine having a field day with this, saying what priebus did was wrong, and again renewing their calls for attorney general Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from any involvement here. For are bright lines established between the white house and the justice. The white house said this was simply talking bow a news story, but as the news story was about an fbi investigation there may be a bit of a grey area. The president s sounding off saying quote, the fbi is unable to stop the National Security leakers that have permeated our government for a long time they cant eve find the leakers within the nbi itself. Classified information is being given to the media. Find now. Raises coppell of important questions. Why was priebus reaching out to the fbi . Now we find it was the fbi reaching out to priebus. Hey, by the way this story is all it was mccabe and comey. Somebody somewhere just outside of that chain leaked this information. Thats an interest question to find an answer to. John roberts, thank you very much. You have given us so much to chew on there and a part of the story that i have not seen reported so specifically. The chain. How these things happened on a timeline, it was actually the fbi which began the conversation about this. Thank you, john. Lets start there. Uh, having the fake newses. This is what were talking about in terms of. I agree. In germest sometimes youll get a set of facts and the story will breathe a little bit and youll find out that maybe somebody repeated something wrong. This easy sourcing. You go to the three people and talk to them. Exactly right. They obsessed over this until this morning. You would think that priebus approached the fbi and was putting pressure on them that wasnt sort of a. You think that based on the reporting. You would think that based on they came out and clarified that this morning. That is fake news to put that out there that you have the administration pressuring the fbi. Thats fake news. I want to be careful with this, abbey, because before the show were all watching Different Things on tv. Im not going to call on anybodys names because maybe they didnt get the words on the lower thirds. Some places out there havent gotten this new factual information and were still reading that the white house had reached out to the fbi. Kudos to john roberts for helping us better understand what happened in this whole chain of events. Not to jump on top of it. Change the texture of what you think we know . I think so much so. Now the biggest point of the whole story is the fbi pulled Reince Priebus aside and they told him the New York Times story was false. Said youre taken seriously, can the fbi or you reports that to american people. They said no because if we make a comment on this we have to comment on stories every single day. Then why open the door . Im right with john roberts on this. This only then gets me to ask those three people in the room, if you will. They werent all in the room at the same time. Mccabe, why did you call Reince Priebus. Right. He was in a meeting. President likes to say all the time. Youre pointing the fbi out. Just posing that as an obvious answer to the question. During the campaign, the president lusked to talk about how. So did Hillary Clinton too. Has become politicized so heres a perfect example. Its deeply politicized. We said earlier on last year that james comey should step down, be fired, he shouldnt be in the fbi anymore. Everybody has reasons to believe hes politicized one way or the other. What is the stance on getting involved in politics my understanding is there needed to be a clear line between the fbi and the white house. I would say that yes, there should be a clear line. I think in reality thats more of an aspiration than it is a reality and the sense that you also need a lot of coordination between the fbi and the white house. You need a lot just to keep the country safe. Who decides where this political line is. Everyone looks really bad. America looks bad, the fbi, the white house. Absolutely. Im so sick of the fbi toking things like this, having to explain to the american people, having experts like you on to explain why this shouldnt be happening but its happening anyway. This leaking all the way around is becoming a huge problem and i certainly dont know what the answer is but for the good of our National Security, for the good of the trust between the white house and our security forces, i dont understand why people are thinking of the collective. I think the fbi is never supposed to be the story. The fbi is supposed to be the unseen hand. Last summer when james comey decided that, you know, he was going to weigh in and say that Hillary Clinton shouldnt be endited and a few weeks later we head intofall he says im going to open another investigation. He has no business leading this. It smelled. Yeah. It smells a bit. For her side, either. Like megan said its a little bit of being discredited on both sides because no matter what his personal political beliefs are. Time for comey to go . Inappropriate action. It is time for the New York Times to stop reporting fake news. Thats where all th
