where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro. lis weal. the president pubically credit cards the widow of a fallen sormd. and the white house admits it scrambled to send condolence letters for it families of fallen service members after the president stated he contacted virtually everyone. these are the president's battles on a monday, all battles of his own making. we begin with myesha johnson, the widow of sergeant la david johnson, one of the fallen in niger. >> the president said that he knew what he signed up for, but

it hurts anyways. and it made me cry because i was very angry at the tone of his voice. he couldn't remember my husband's name. the only way her name my husband's name is because he told me he had my husband report in front of him. that's what he actually said la david. i heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband name. and that's what hurt me the most because if my husband is fighting for our country and he risked his life for our country, why can't you remember his name? and that what made me upset and cry even more because my husband was an awesome soldier. >> sara murray joins me from the white house. the president didn't waste any time responding to the comments this morning. >> for many it was a perplexing response because president trump decided to dispute is account

from a grieving widow. he said he spoke his name from beginning without he was. it is worth noting we had a number of occasions to question the president about this incident today. he wouldn't engage about what happened in niger, what went wrong but also whether he regretted the fact that he left myesha johnson feeling upset at the result of that phone call, anderson. >> there's also reporting on the white house's efforts to expedite the letters to families of the fallen service members. >> that's right. they did confirm they made an effort to expedite these letters. they discovered there were bureaucratic reasons that the letters hasn't been sent out. they cut the red tape and tried to expedite those. not a lot of detail what was holding these up in the first place. >> senator john mccain took a

sw swipe, this time mentioning the my room. >> he was speaking in a vietnam war documentary and he was talking about the difference between higher income individuals and lower income, we seemed at that point in the vietnam war to draft from the lower income tier of america. if you were in this hire level, if you were better off in stature, you could go to any doctor and they would write you a letter for something, for instance, a bone spur that might allow you to avoid the draft. a bone spur happens to be what president trump before he was president used to avoid the draft. he had a number of draft defr s defrmts. john mccain, not one hesitant to criticize the president, but he said he was trying to make a broader point that the burdens of war are not necessarily shared evenly across american society, and certainly that's true now.

>> sara murray, appreciate it. joining me is kirsten powers, scott jengs, the president responding to mrs. johnson today, for instance, all of this really goes back to -- this might be part of the discussion if the president had not avoid answering questions about niger by praising himself and going after former presidents. >> there's been so many opportunities for him to dial this back. i think he has chosen to keep -- he obviously wants to be in an argument with this woman which is really shameful considering this is the worst moment in her life. she's very young, 24 years old. this is someone who's already suffering a lot and she has the president of the united states calling her a liar on top of everything else. look, i've said this before. i'm sure he did the best he could in the call and she experienced it differently. even if she wasn't telling the truth, i think she is, but even

if she wasn't, in this situation you rise above it and you be the person who comfort her and not attack her in a public way. >> does it make sense to continue this? >> i was on cnn the night this story broke. when this congresswoman made this allegation against trump. and the headline on cnn was, you know, that, that he knew what he was getting into. i thought it was strange at the time. you know, why would the president say something like that? and i suspected that what he was saying is that what makes him even more courageous and more heroic is that these servicemen -- it's obvious that's what he meant. and this congresswoman who hates donald trump turned around press and said he was the demeaning the soldier somehow, and i think the whole story is unfair. it's been a week of of this story going on.

maybe it should have halted this back and forth, but it seems pretty unfair. this congresswoman called donald trump a white supremacist for goodness sakes. we never actually heard the tape of the conversation. >> there's no tape. >> exactly, so we don't know. >> it's not just the congressman, it's also the widow herself who has backed up everything the congresswoman said. whether she should have rushed to television, that's a fine point, but i think to your larger point, two people can have a conversation and interpret things differently and i think that's the point kelly made. >> she was trying to embarrass donald trump. >> he's a 70-year-old man and she's a 24-year-old woman who just lost her husband. who should be the bigger person in this situations? >> trump should have been the one who walk away from this. if we learned anything, when his egois threat understand, everything is on the table, even

gold star families. people said he didn't recognize the soldier's name correctly, and then it was on. donald trump has to make a choice. he can continue to try to win these personality-driven arguments, or he can be a successful president. you can't have both. you can't continue to west news cycle after news cycle on stories that are self-inflicted and also be a successful president. that said, you know, democrats are running around right now, tom sayer is talking about impeachment. you can't impeach the president for being a jerk. nobody is getting on the rails. the congresswoman is out saying he's a rock star. she made a mistake there. she's comparing this to benghazi, that's a mistake. i don't know who's guiding people. everyone is out of control when they should just shut up and thank the soldiers. >> she's made a number of mistakes, running to the press, making comments about benghazi, calling the president and all

his staffers white supremacists. this proves the point that she's grinding a political ax. the way out eventually is the same as it was on day one, and that's to say if you took anything i said in a bad way, i apologize. please know you have the thanks of a grateful nation. it's the answer yesterday, today, and tomorrow. i'm hoping his lack of engagement with the press today is a harbinger of things to come. >> he's never said he's sorry about something. >> this is about an abhor rent president of the united states who behaves consistently in an aberrant way, whether it's about the legitimate powers of the congress of the united states, he behaves in an aberrant way

that is beneath the dignity of the office. scott, you hear this too from republicans all over washington that we doubt his stability in these moments. this is one story. it's one story with this poor widow who has been savaged by the president of the united states. the president of the united states goes -- just a moment. the president of the united states going nuclear in public about a woman who has lost her husband? that is aberrant. what we see consistently in this presidency from january 20th to now is one aberrant act after another and lying. and so it all comes together as a piece. and that's a story that we as journalists and politicians also have to confront. what holds these dots together in this aberrant behavior? >> michael, you're not surprised by this? >> not at all.

when you asked if he ever apologized for something, in his private life he may have. he's hurt a lot of people in his private life. i can't imagine he's never apologized. in his public life, i found no record that he ever apologized. the spoil the investment of thousands of people who invested in his casinos. he's lambasted people who never deserved it, ridiculed them. in one case after another he moved onto the next thing. he also have this habit, and i think this is what gets him in trouble. he says an outrageous thing and then tries to maneuver and manipulate it to prove it true. he can claim the profitability of his companies and hand you a document that purports to show it's profitable and all is well.

but in this case it's hard for him to be president, act this way, have there be multiple witnesses to his behavior, and claim that it never happened. >> we complain -- i complain a lot about the president being a jerk essentially. there's no recourse for that. we can say, he can't continue being president, yes, he will. he will continue being president, at least until the next election. if there's no democratic opposition, another four years. and so when you keep saying this doesn't work for him, it does work for him, and there's more incentive than ever for republicans to go along with it. people need to read steve bannon's speech to the republican party this weekend because the theme was winning at all costs. it is the only thing that matters. it's a insightful speech. >> it's not all about a primary and plooefeasing the republican

your base. so then it isn't just about the only guy news cycle. the american people want him to win for the nation. >> no, this is a growing movement at the republican party, fight on everything and all terms. it's not just going to be donald trump in 2020. it will be more republicans who have this attitude who will fight on anything. all the time it's going to be no holds barred. if you think it's going to backfire, you need to read 2016. >> i have admiration for him, i don't think his aberrant. but look, sometimes he has a fast trigger. and with john mccain, what's going on with john mccain, because i think that's almost the bigger story here about this feud that's going on between mccain and trump. the republicans have to get a tax cut passed. to get that tax cut passed they're probably going to need john mccain's vote.

so they better -- >> i want to talk more about john mccain. we'll hear some of the audio from a conversation in 2014 about his bone spurs. later, lawmakers in both parties consider the president untrustworthy and easily zrakd according to "the washington post." what happened to the art of the deal? we'll look at that ahead.

the president got five defrmts that helped him avoid serving in vietnam. michael "d" antonio heard about the bone spurs in 2014. he's some audio from the conversation. >> you did have a medical deferment? the medical deferment is feet. >> what was going on with your feet? >> i have bone spurs at the back of my feet which at the time prevented me from walking long

distances. >> so you couldn't march? >> it would be very difficult to march long distances, very healthy. and the back, it's here, you can see et on both feet. i have spurs. >> that's a real thing. and a lot of people got medical deferments. >> not an out, but i got a deferment. >> michael, he had actually talked publicly about having a high draft number previously. >> right, so that was the major point that he wanted to make in the rest of the interview was that he had this high draft number, so maybe the feet didn't matter. and i shouldn't take that too seriously. these become very tortured conversations. i used to be exacerbate per rated because one hour with donald trump is followed by hours of fact checking. he agreed the draft matter

didn't matter, that he was no longer eligible for the lottery when they began it in 1969, and he was out of school and out of any potential service. yet he went back to it a year later. he's on the campaign trail talking about this draft number. i think it's a story that the best to him. and allowed him to be somewhat in the mainstream and not to have sought deferment. >> what is john mccain doing? this is now second time he's referenced the president not by name, he gave that speech last week. >> what goes around comes around. it's much deeper than that. >> if what we're seeing here is confirmation of donald trump, the president of the united states, who has never had a record of consistent honest in his life. that too is a fact that holds together so many things, the

russia investigation, the widow, what he says publicly day after day, which everyone in the press room, including his press secretary knows are lies. >> i think this shows the difference between -- >> but it's really important to go back to basics because every day we have a kind of new standard that gets lower and lower in which we hold the president to less and less accountability. he lies day in and day out. that's what senator mccain is talking about is what you're talking about. >> i would say that's a dualistic approach to what donald trump said on the tape. what donald trump would say to the donald trump he's campaigning against is show me you're feet. you're lying about the bone spurs on your feet. like barack obama and the birth certificate. the way he campaigns and wins, he's going to frame the arguments in ways that we can't predict and we think are off

color and weird. but that's how donald trump would handle someone else saying they didn't go to vietnam because of bone spurs on their feet. >> it's to put out there what the facts are and it's time for politicians to say we will not have a liar in the white house who lies. >> he lied about bone spurs on his feet. >> it's a repertoryial historical fact. >> i agree with you. . >> he lies -- >> you're saying he's lying about that? >> i don't know the facts about bone spurs. >> then how can you say that. >> what michael just said about the draft, i know what he just said about the draft dates. he's a man who lies with impunity and without thinking about the lies. >> do you think the president

says things that are lies? >> no i don't think he lies. the point i was getting at what i said what goes around comes around is this feud that's been going on for over a year with mccain and it goes back to when trump attacked mccain on fairly. look, i think john mccain is one of the greatest american heroes. i don't always agree with him political. it was probably just with his political standpoint a dumb thing to do. he has to work with john mccain. and now it's begun personal and ugly between the two. >> on behalf of the republican agenda if i may, number once, we know john mccain has a history of voting against tax cuts proposed by republican presidents. that's a problem. we know mccain and trump have a history of fighting with each other in a nasty, apparently way. number three, we know the 52-seat majority has be unreliable in passing the trump agenda. number four, we know john mccain cast the vote in the most recent

key vote. this makes this feud concerning. the bone spurs, the thing is interesting, but if you're someone who cares about the republican party keeping its promises to the american people, this feud between these two guys is extraordinarily concerning. >> do you really not believe the president lies just regularly? lies i guess means he knows what he's saying is not true. but even just last week saying about his calling about families. now the white house has to play catch up on that. >> i think the american people kind of understand that he's exaggerating. it drives the press crazy. you made this point earlier about the fact he acts like auto jerk. >> when he has private investigators in hawaii. >> let me tell you about him being a jerk. i've been around politicians my entire life.

98% of politicians gentlemejerk private. trump is an incredibly sweet and gracious person in private, and in public sometimes he does act like a jerk, and that's very different than most applications. >> it's like saying most people won't meet him privately. >> if they did, they would know what i mean. the president's laegs move on the russia probe is raising flags. witnesses in the potential case against him, we'll get into that next. y, you every talk to anyboy about your money? yeah, i got some financial guidance a while ago. how'd that go? he kept spelling my name with an 'i' but it's bryan with a 'y.' yeah, since birth. that drives me crazy. yes. it's on all your email. yes. they should know this? yeah. the guy was my brother-in-law. that's ridiculous. well, i happen to know some people. do they listen? what? they're amazing listeners. nice. guidance from professionals who take their time to get to know you.

trouble the most of them would be considered witnesses and it would be highly unusual in any case for the man on trial to pay for the lawyers of those potentially testifying against him. back with the panel and matt lewis joins us as well. scott, i know you worked in the white house. this is this a can of worms? >> there's a lot going on because most staffers i'm sure are surprised to find out when an investigation starts the white house counsel doesn't represent you. you have to get your own lawyer. speaking from personal experience, you can rack up six digits in fees. interviewing with the special counsel, congressional committees, talking to the white house counsel, and then if the democrats were to take control of a chamber, that ratchets it up. you can easily get into the six figures. given the number of people who are likely to get interviewed, i think $40,000 is a collective drop in the bucket. staff can't get pro bono.

>> i would warn them because there's a guy that was promised $25,000 who finally did get it today. this is a pattern. donald trump two years ago in iowa when he was having a rally advised his crowd, knock the crop out of them. i promise you, i'll pay the legal fees. there was a guy in north carolina who actually took him up on it, sucker punched somebody a protester at a rally, donald trump swore i never said that. i never said i was going to pay his legal fees. >> but he never lies. >> this is a suggestion of hush money. you cannot be under investigation for possible obstruction of justice. you're the president of the united states and you are saying to those who are also may or may not be under investigation i'm going to give you money for your legal bills? it is unacceptable. it goes back to the conduct of someone who has no regard for the law, for protocol, for

precedent. >> does he know that? it's a morale booster but there's no intention? >> i spoke to a white house counsel about whether this is permissible. he said it's legally murky but you could make an argument for it. he said he would not advise it. >> at a minimum it's unethical. >> this is an act of loyalty of a president who's standing up for the people who served him. >> but it's unethical. >> i'm not a lawyer, but i'm saying if i served in the white house and i was under investigation for my service to the president and the president said i'm going to help pay your legal bills, i would think he's doing it. >> i think most ethicists would agree with that statement. >> let her finish. >> forget it. just go on.

i would say two points. we're missing the real scandal which is $430,000 of rnc money is being used to defend donald trump and donald trump jr. that's where $430,000 went that donald trump is ponying up. at the time the rnc wrote this e-mail, send us to fund the border, wel wall, you are payin trump's legal bills. we would have never been able to connect the dots between watergate break-in or the fact that there were tapes. that would have been missing. being paid off from the president is a recipe to be the fall guy. >> you're saying without a doubt it's unethical. >> it is. every time i say it's unethical you interrupt me to scream about loyalty. why don't you address the fact

that it's unethical. if you're being honest about it, this is somebody who's trying to coerce people into testifying in a certain aware. it's obvious what he's doing. this is not a man who likes to open up his wallet. >> let him respond. >> my point is i'm not a lawyer. you might be right that this is legally unethical and he's not able to do it. my point was it's a very loyal thing to do is-to-stand up for the people who stood up for you. >> loyalty is not something this president -- >> you can't it both ways. you can't say he's not loyal. >> giving help me legal advice when it's an investigation into the president, the president's lawyers are not going to have the staffers' best interest in mind. it's probably the worst thing that these aides could do. >> and the president doesn't go out and justify my actions for me on television i'm going to

undercut at you next day by saying what you said is not true. >> our whole discussion for the last hour is really fascinating. what united states eves is righ. this president chooses wrong over right that children most often know. this is extraordinary. >> i think it's a bad idea, but i am worry about the brain drain and what happens when staffers are basically -- you get the memo, if you go to work in the white house, you could end up bankrupt. >> that's a really good question. it has nothing to do with the right and wrong question here. we need to have a way that people can defend themselves pro bono, all kinds of ways, you can even start a pac. go ahead, go that way, but the president of the united states, the same president who pardoned

former fox news anchor bill o'reilly is trying to fight back once again after a stunning report in the "new york times." according to the "times" back in january, o'reilly secretly paid $32 million to stop former fox news legal analyst lis wiehl from suing him for sexual harassment. of all the settlement payments, this is largest by far. just weeks after the deal, o'reilly got a four-year extension on his contract for $25 million a year. then weeks later with all the allegations against him from several women, advertisers fled and o'reilly was booted from fox news. o'reilly is firing back after this lets a revelation saying he's the victim. here's what he told "the new york times." >> this is horrible. it's horrible what i went through. horrible what my family went through. this is crap. and you know it. it's politically and financially

motivated. and we can prove it with shocking information. but i'm not going to sit there in a courtroom for a year and a half and let my kids get beaten up every single day of their lives by a tabloid press who would sit there, and you knw it. >> joining the conversation is brian stelter who's been covering this story. kirsten, i want to start with you. you worked at fox. you complained about statements he had made. >> i never had any -- bill o'reilly never propositioned me and i worked with him a lot. i had an overall good relationship with him except some incidents early on where he said some things to me that i thought were sexist. and i complained to -- first i complained to his executive producer and was basically told he wasn't going to stop doing it, so i stopped doing his show for a couple years. in that time i complained to roger ailes, the ceo and he

basically said he makes so much money for the network that i let him d.i.a. do what he wants to do. i wasn't complaining about him propositioning me, but there were complaints, megyn kelly talked about complaints she made about him. she wasn't accusing him of sexual harassment, i'm sure i'm going to get attacked tomorrow. he sent megyn a gift and she sent a thank you. long before she complained about him. they try to go after any woman who complains. >> i worked also for fox news. i know bill o'reilly very well as you do. i consider him a friend. now, i consider him a friend, and he said things to me oftentimes -- bill o'reilly can be a jerk to people, and he can say things, you know. so that's different from --

look. >> i'm glad you brought that up. >> i have no idea what happened behind closed doors. sometimes it's just his behavior, the way he is that came across as being offensive to people. >> i actually wrote something along these linings of he's mostly an equal opportunity offender. when it comes to debating and arguing. that's not what i'm talking about. he said to me thank you for your blondness at the end of an interview. that's very different than bill and i getting into an argument about immigration chirch hwhich had a problem with.

>> for anyone to pay $32 million, i'm sorry, i find that impolite to imagine. i know he's got huge amounts of money, but to me it's interesting how people keep bringing their children into this. harvey weinstein did it in the recording. bill o'reilly brings his children continually into this. >> anderson, powerful man accused of harassment, evading responsibility, attacking the messenger, who's that sound like? it could be harvey weinstein, president trump, today it happens to be bill o'reilly that he's trying to evade this issue by saying it's "the new york times" out to get him but he hasn't denied approximate $32 million. >> he can't because he paid it in installments. what everyone is trying to wrap their head around is what happened that you pay $32 million for? you only pay $32 million if it's going to be worse not to. if you're going to be even more

embarrassed at a trial. >> the first allegation which was andrea ma chris who came forward, she had recordings. they read very specific things that bill o'reilly was alleged to have said with very specific speech patterns and stumbles in his sentence and the whole thing about the loo if a. it was detailed and specific. this must have been as well. >> that was in 2004. i think we can see how far this country's come that in 2017 there's no way he's going to be back on fox. they brought him back last month and they regret doing that. >> that's only now. he was on last month and all these allegations -- there hadn't been a $32 million payout. >> they renewed his contract knowing he struck this deal. >> did they know amount. >> they say they didn't know the amount but i don't know if they

didn't want to know. >> i had this debate with people this weekend. do you think this is a sea change in the culture in terms of how men interact with women in a work setting? >> i would hope so because it seems like there's a play book that these powerful men have been able to use every time. first sterngs smear the victim, hide behind legal action and last step is present yourself as the victim to the media. look all i've been tlucht that happens every single time. the thing that boggles my mind is how could fox as a business decision decided to keep renewing this guy's contract knowing so many millions of dollars have been paid out. it's not the first or sec time. it keeps happening again and again. hopefully companies can be ebb lightened enough to say the

bottom line by now. >> what about hollywood? everyone in hollywood knew what whooir harvey weinstein was up to. >> now he's in shambles. more on this conversation next. likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender.

and it never comes forward. that's what he said before and that's what he's saying now. >> right. well, i guess the story is that he's telling us he's doing this to protect his family by not going to court and that's why he paid this money out. it just seems like if you have information to exonerate yourself, is this not painful to your family what's happening right now? >> it seems like the only evidence put forward is that, you know, notes were written. thank you notes were written previously. >> yeah. >> it seems not like evidence at all. >> well, i actually don't even understand this attack glenn beck and bill o'reilly are doing against megyn kelly right now or against gretchen carlson and they never even said that o'reilly harassed them. they just complained about his

behavior. anytime you give o'reilly a platform you're buying into what happened. that said, i'm torn between megyn kelly and bill o'reilly here. i don't know what happened because that's between them and i don't know if i should take sides or not. i don't want to enable abuse, but at the same time i'll let bill have his say. >> he was reading a thank you note. >> if bill o'reilly wanted tow explosive evidence he's going to have to do better than a baby shower note. the bigger issue here is how much we don't know when it gets caught up into these ndas and settlements. for people like glep beck you don't know how to pick a cited. we never really get at the truth. >> you know, we can't pick a side in these things because we

don't know the facts. we know this in our political culture there's this great populist uprising. people have put the elites on notice. i think this is going into a lot of industries right now. if you're wealthy, famous, powerful, if you can lord that stuff over regular people who have to play by the normal rules, those people aren't going to take it anymore and thank god, because the elites and the powerful and the famous in these industries shouldn't be able to ruin peoples' careers and treat people -- it's happening in politics, hollywood, media. i wonder what the next -- >> i had a meeting with a major, you know, top 20 ceo of fortune 100 company, and he said to me about two or three years ago something that i thought was very good advice for people who run companies. i would never have a meeting with a woman without someone else in the room. and this is, unfortunately, this is where we're at today. if you are in a position of position, a bill o'reilly, a donald trump, anyone who is running a company, you cannot be

-- >> sean hannity has never been accused of sexual harassment. anderson cooper has never been accused of sexual harassment. what are you talking about? so any powerful man has kaish did not be alone with a meeting. that's ridiculous. i have meetings with jeff zucker all the time. this affects women negatively. you can't even meet with a your boss? >> tucker carlson has never been accused of -- brett bear has never been accused of -- look at all the powerful men at fox news that has never been -- >> most of them -- >> what's that? >> that's the interesting thing. most of the fox news men -- >> i can go through the whole roster of them. >> it does seem like the new york office had a kurlgt of -- >> which was where roger ailes was based. we've got to take a break. something to make you smile at the end of this long day. the ridiculous is next. over the course of 9 days...
