some 1000000 people many of whom rely on these programs to meet their most basic me including shelter from food food and medicine. the french president to me where my car has announced an 8800000000 dollar investment fund to support his country's auto industry the sector employees hundreds of thousands of people in france with roughly 30 vehicle and parts factories around the country mike ross says autonomous and electric cars will be the focus after the coronavirus crisis. russia says it backs an immediate cease fire and talks to form a united governing body in libya after the u.s. accused moscow deploying more fighter jets to help libyan warlords fight if you have to and his attempt to topple the un recognized government and tripoli there's the headlines whose truth is there anyway the usa the current battleground it's coming up next $5.00 to 020. let me also you know how worried you are about the

increase in hostilities in yemen we listen this is the moment you stop all the 30 action this is the moment to concentrate on fighting we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories the. 0. and i want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news phoning the enemy of the people this president has undermined us from the very beginning he's called this enemies of the people he has told us that we are fake media and he is trying to undermine and drive a wedge between the electorate and us the fake news is creating violence. if the media can't be trusted to report the news then that's a dangerous place for america what you just did is inflammatory and the everybody

in this room is only trying to do their job they are the same they just go skiing to. your. children. they go through. so what do you base your black silk about sit down sit down. down you get one why should. this is the white. welcome. to it this is where all of us in spain wretch's and all the television people put together the information that we provide with a look. i work for c.n.n. it's an analyst in playboy i write a column and i cast behind as you can see where everybody does their life shot all the major networks. that room used to be where we had briefings but we haven't had a briefing in about 2 months so instead what happens is there's a podium a makeshift podium you see people bringing chairs out here we have 249 chairs and

air conditioning 50 feet away. no shit it's just earnest and sarah how do we sanders the press secretary is scheduled to come out here this morning to state run television fox and she'll probably come over and visit with us and hopefully have a few words to say to us and we'll try to find out some information places that place just. in the morning where i live there are you do you think about this asking china the city would you give trump's tax returns i think it's hypocrisy at its best can you tell me the president this is replaced what used to be a feely press briefing is now a short 5 to 10 minute gaggle out in the driveway of the white house is there already so they can control the press a little bit better keep the questions and the answers down there right now since you have so one question to the distractors this administration has gotten a lot of heat and for its credibility to know what you guys and so i would argue

about salary i doubt if i don't believe you are no longer i'm just asking the question aren't about me so the question is for the sizable portion of the public to believe that this administration has no credibility what is your response to that i think it's real simple if we come out and do the very best job every single day the media is the one that has perpetuated the russia collusion hoax for the last 2 years and i think before you guys start looking here and asking questions about our credibility you should take a real hard look at your 00 credibility isn't questionable the answers as you see are. forthcoming thanks aaron thank you very much shit yeah today's press is under fire but you person here you do your job you ask the questions that's what you're here to do every day. this is the briefing room where the briefing room is operating you'll get probably 10110 people packed in here i work down this way. so

c.n.n. and fox are down here reporters covering the white house do not have contact with the administration and we have limited contact with the actual person that we're covering the president he likes to say he's transparent but he shows up in the take questions pretend he can hear some. other people off tell people sit down tell people shut up and off he goes. this is not how i usually count since historically very much off the rails i mean you get it right all the time he ever did and he had probably the best interactions so there's a a law that the army can't be used as a police force some it's called the posse comitatus act as i went up and was asking folks in the pressure up they didn't really know what the law was and one of the press aides he started singing a song from the lion king you could've walked up there under the past 3 or 4

presidents and they you know with your tell you what you had least no more you were talking about and they wouldn't have called it the life and they wouldn't and they definitely would not have sang part of the song for the children up on something as serious as sending armed u.s. military personnel to the border to perform a police action on the brain and robert muller. what a stupid question. what a stupid but i watch you a lot of us got a lot of stupid right something can vary so we'll show you. mile hills ill start another fire over here today to move us off this fire i think it was monday or tuesday i listed 10 or 11 issues that we went through in the course of one day 11 of them would have been a huge story in the previous administration and some of them get lost because just you get rolled under i call it the chaos but yeah and i'm always shocked by the

continued shock about donald trump this has been his entire adult life has been run this way and he has read his yeah. will be out on the rose garden where the president is going to appear for the national day of prayer he may or may not take questions he's not going to take a question now but will show up because it might be our only chance to see the president today to get a question to ask. ladies and gentlemen the president of the united states history . people are so proud to be using that beautiful word. and hiding from it and not to take it. in for questions in this thread and it's pretty cheaply done that way. the mall. she.

says she would is this white house in historical perspective that white house is very different and it's because the president is very different and i think we are in a very divisive time period and he got elected as a sharp partisan capture. it wasn't that he created it greta just think the president has not happened experience as a government official and so business experience the level of been for. mais that you have to provide is a lot less than it is once you get into government asking the question if you want to push a governor before he came here obama and senator they learned that the press is part of governing and that you may not like it but you have to learn to live with it this president doesn't seem to want to live with. and.

listen so this week following up on the mother stuff and if we send anything off to anyone else that that's the stuff that we should do because all that stuff that happened in the last 24 hours. and i've recently did feature going back to the border interviewing drug dealers and illegal immigrants so what i'm writing now is basically act 2 of the muller investigation. there are stories that i have covered that stick with me this was a spot news story we did about a shooting of a police officer in san antonio and it's because of that story that i went to jail had a source and i kept that source confidential. a reporter really only has one thing your credibility. this is my 1st station id and i was covering the reagan administration business from the gulf war george bush the 96 democratic national

convention clinton obama administration was not as candid is they claim to be but i'll be honest with you i don't like any of them. it's their job to put their best foot forward it's my job to find out what they're actually doing as president are you worried about indictments coming down in this event so it's an adversarial relationship but it doesn't have to be personal i say watch c.n.n. should be ashamed of itself having you working for them you are a rude terrible person i always thought that all. up until trump i could i could stomach and i i respected oh and i don't necessarily respect from the fake news is creating violence i'll tell you what if the media would write correctly and write accurately and write fairly you'd have a lot less violence in the country you can call me the enemy of the people and call me fake news and have threats made against me and me respect what you do below

the. was people feel like it's ok to threaten a reporter. because the president has threatened reporters. i had my window of my car bashed i've had people call me and say i'm going to kill you. i had to call the police a few times because of threats i know other reporters that have bodyguards you don't get to threaten the crowds were not the enemy of the people we are the people i think it's that constant barrage of fake news directed at this president if the media can't be trusted to report the news then that's a dangerous place for america in one of us if we don't get it right the audience has the opportunity to turn the channel or not read the 1st class i had was sarah

sanders was about 6 months into this administration were i did as you just write your to provide the answers and what you just did is inflammatory to people all over the country who can say see once again the president is right and everybody else out here is fake media and everybody in this room is only trying to do their job but i think if anything has been inflamed it's the dishonesty that often takes place by the news media and then another 6 months went by and she's talking about how the administration is doing such humanitarian great things on the border when they were putting kids in cages now. that one affected me personally because i've seen what happens to children on the border come on syria you're a parent don't you have any empathy for what these people are going to do you have let's try again you got to settle down it's like sorry i'm trying to be serious but i'm not going to have you go out to furnish really isn't so low and see have these

people have nothing they ran i know you have to get some more t.v. i mean that's how you're serving us i want to read you know this request go ahead real honestly it's good because it is a serious question and these people have nothing to come to the border with nothing from children you just you're a. good parent of young children don't you that in the end of the book they go through fertility that it's ok for them to spend i do not expect you to lie to me all the time on everything that you say thank you mr president i'm asking you to clarify where you get your numbers because most of the d.n.a. crimes reporting statistics that we seize show the drugs are coming across at the ports of entry that illegal immigration is down and the violence is down so what do you base your lax on come on let's go so he's got the same facts i've got his government keeps the facts and none of the government facts showed and still don't show that there's a crisis on the border and secondly out of the when you go one you get one with

a set you're such a great sit down sit down could you please raise your down you get when i why should the press is not after donald trump. the press is after the facts so your own government stats are wrong or you say oh no i used many stats and then he said it was us let me tell you you have stats that are far worse than the ones that i use. my job is to press and ask questions and ultimately the president will say what he says and people can decide whether or not he speaks the truth. the president when you had the arms embargo on you were asking other nations our allies particularly to observe it publicly but at the same time i believe you concede you are authorizing everything that embargo by the united states how can you justify this to the city. in front of this crowd my son and.

it is good to see my. you don't find find out about this place i don't know about this place. i enjoyed my time in the white house as a reporter when you come back no i would never come back it's a young person's game it's for you it's for people with a lot of energy i never had to contend with what you have to contend with today with this president and this press secretary in this administration i've dealt with people who they dodge they weave once in a while they would tell untruths but not regularly not so that everybody falter. so could you take them or you could i do any better than you can no no not at all i think you and the others in the press room asking the right questions failing but not because you're not trying not because you're not thinking about what the american people want to know or should want to know about the their president or

his administration i never had to worry about that people wanted to know and they want to facts no one said they were alternative facts no one said it's the press it's. news. we make mistakes we try to correct but we always make mistakes are human right. now day 85 i feel very. close. to the sound bites and. they like it they feel like. 3 to one so welcome back to just asked the question today it is a treat to have my mentor on this show sam donaldson who for years covered the white house for a.b.c. what's wrong with the white house today going to take her down to trump is what's wrong with the white house i mean donald trump is basically ignorant about things other than his cunning ability as a con man right he started at the roy cohn cones philosophy clearly was we can

win at any cost and never mind whether it's legal or not never mind who you heard or not you we. got a truck has got to that philosophy do you think trump has your relatively harmed a the united states and b. our profession i think he has harmed it greatly i do not believe it's irrevocably harmed i think quoting lincoln in the good sense of the american people will ultimately prevail i think the majority of people in this country want the morays want the ethics wants the morality all of the standards that we all grew up with their parents their grandparents we're a country built on standards yeah he's harmed them in every possible way but i don't think he's destroyed i will see in 2020 what about our profession. i think we were harmed in all of these multiple ways that people can get their news fox news very disturbing murdoch rupert murdoch has done great harm to this country yes he

had roger ailes god rest his soul i want to address the idea that every time i'm told that he's the most transparent and assessable present. but you know he is anyone who's actually watched him listen to him or read his tweets either directly or in the news those yes anyone who has his or her eyes open has gotten cold rude i'll tell you sam in the white house today there's very little humor that's what how can there be is so grim and i don't remember it the same as when i 1st knew what they're well i hope it gets that we can do this although you go to the name of the show is just ask the question will catch you next time. today it's the nerd prom as they call the white house correspondents' association

dinner right and i need my wife and the last 3 years president trump hasn't shown up and this year he's banning any one of his staff from showing up as well. by the way and i'll hold this before. but when that thing went down with you and you came out only that. they're not in their seat you. know what you did sean you stood up and was man and i love you thank you but you later. i always give in and i love it. i had a horrible relationship with think all of me but you know i gave him grief took a lot and then left. but i thought in the end game he was a man of principle and. appreciate that i don't think sean was ever a true believer in the tropics and i believe that sarah is and that's the difference between that and that's all the difference in the world.

celebrates the 1st time been 6 months since the mother. and the christ this is something that's in. the city and. they brian i watch her get up i mean you talk about somebody that's a loser she doesn't know what the hell she's doing targets. and you. have to find out the facts of this you know. i'm not the enemy of any limits. police say the shooting that left 5 people dead on thursday was a targeted attack on a local newspaper the capital gazette journalists caught in the violence described the scene as a war zone with one crime reporter tweeting there's nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the

gunman reload asked to comment on the journalist slayings president donald trump who earlier this month labeled the news media the country's worst enemy he walked away but tweeted his condolences as a precaution police deployed to guard the entrances of the new york times and other large u.s. media organizations an ominous sight to mark uncertain times. nearly a year ago friends and coworkers members of our professional family ripped from us in a day none of us should ever forget one of those people is my friend when you want to use. that incident also figured in the recent reporters without borders assessment that now ranks the united states as only the 48th freest country for journalists and places us in the trouble democracy category

you shouldn't have to worry about die off covering the news unless it is ancillary to covering the news. the 4th this day has meaning and you breathe life into it every day as they did. i love every one of you a special love for the we have a capital because that. will be gerald job they want to point out was right what was wrong and what we could do better so the members of my staff. enjoy the credible about. to return to work if you want. i'm proud. to work among these giants. so i'd like to thank you and i think that thank.

you for the go through. i think. when it happened. it was just in shock the 1st thing i thought was i hope that it doesn't come out that the shooter had a vendetta against specifically the news for but i hope it's just something random working the site is going to the 1st place. and it was specifically targeted a newspaper. and that that was really really scared the hell out of. what happens if i write about somebody who really doesn't like blair or don now i see in jeopardy of getting shot 'd. i don't think i was prepared for what we've actually seen i was going to start with a recap of the inauguration but i think we've covered that pretty well from the day

one when they showed 2 pictures of 2 inaugurations and said listen donald trump had the largest inaugural numbers of anyone and you could see. by the picture that that wasn't true you knew where this administration was heading. don't believe your eyes believe me any credible progressively worse with sarah sanders tough but she's good you know you also have a tough and bad right and of course she and spicer and elbowed gone. everything is deflection with this president he doesn't want you to look at what the left hands doing want to watch this and so he's lying to us and filling us full with smoke so he can i was actually going on the cutting of taxes for the ultra rich the robber barons running free cutting regulations and that's the thing that donald trump doesn't want you to see donald trump doesn't do anything that doesn't benefit

donald trump. the real problem for the us with trump is their autocrats all over the world and despots who listen to the present the united states the leader of the free world and figure it's ok to jail beat up and kill reporters. so for the press it's never been a more tenuous time and that i fear will continue if he is reelected. the old saying is that once there was a dream that was wrong once there was a dream that was the united states the constitution the declaration of independence are 2 of the most beautiful things ever written by man to explain how we should govern ourselves and not be at the throat of a despot. and that's what's at stake.
