♪ i am michael smerconish in philadelphia. we cowelcome our viewers around the world. what do we think of the president's words to the quantico audience but also the response he received. i will ask tom fuentes and is net neutrality is the end of civilization. i will ask robert mcdowel.

the me too movement inspires whether tv shows are tarnished as rotten apples? >> i will ask legendary editor tina brown who says we are living in the arab spring for women. and new jersey is maybe on deck, has the tide finally turn for legal pot or mike jeff sessions' opposition be a big bummer? >> the president drew laughters and applaud yesterday after going after what he regards as fake news. what makes it no worthy where he said it and how well it was received. >> these are individuals graduating from a ten week program famous around the world which is an accredited semester of study of uva. the episode remined ded me of t

appearance he made in langley. he said then visiting the cia was his first official stop and he thanked the men and women for h their service, that was appropriate. as the president stood in front of the wall, the more he spoke, the more politically he sounded. speaking like a solemn rally and he bragged of the number of times he's been on the "time" magazine cover and he went after the media. >> as you know i have a running war with the media. they are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. >> yeah? many commentators noted the inappropriate remarks in the context as well as the favorable way in which they were received. >> i called them the dishonest

media but they treated me nicely. follow up reporting revealed because the event happened over the weekend agents were not able to come in on saturday and filled with non personnels brought by the president and his staff. at the makeup of the crowd included 40 people invited by trump and pence and representative pompeo. yesterday, the president went to quantico, again, wonderful that the president would offer his praise to those in law enforcement and even we are leaving in the white house, he said this. >> it is ashamed of what's happening with the fbi. he used the word disgraceful referring to officials who exchanged antitrump and prohillary clinton text messages and did so working on last year's clinton use of a private e-mail server and again during special counsel, robert mueller.

when the president got to the fbi, just as he done it at the cia, he treated the crowd as a campaign event, like at the cia is a mistake and equally rep prehenceable is their response. >> i look out the audience and see many young faces. to them and many other young americans watching at home which there are many. you see this, there is the fake news back there. look. when he heard how well that comment was received in the room, he doubled down. >> now, actually some of them are funny. about lets see who's back there? about 30%. >> here is my point, the president again violated the

time and place rule that many of our parents instill in us. we come to expect this from him. equally troubling is the laughter and the applause. this cannot be the new normal. these were not kids. the folks in that room are adults in their 40s and 50s. the law enforcement communities need to remain above politics and to be perceived beyond our approach. when they feed over the president's overly political lines, they cause a lack of confidence in their own non partnersh partisan ship. joining me now is john feuentes. >> tom, is my concern warranted in your view? >> i would like to clarify the audience makeup here what was doing laffer. in that room, maybe there is 800

or 900 people including family members of the police officers attending that course. have few fbi agents at all. it was a graduation for state locals and foreign police offic officers who attended. their families were also in the room. what we forget is when the media constantly criticize law enforcement officers or immediately take the negative view of a law enforcement's action including police officer involved in shootings. that affected the family. most families in the feeling strongly about this case and the children go to school and they were harassed and people know their father and mother is police officers, they take abuse. everybody close to that officer

in their family is affected. being a police officer is not a job, it is a way of life. that's true for all of them. at this point, the attendees of that course is senior executives and police agencies as well as a couple of federal agencies and the u.s. military. they really do recesent what th think of a media bias against law enforcement. >> i hear you and i understand that, i guess you are saying that i am asking too much if i wish for them to disassociate of the president's comment of fake news and bias days seen in some of the reporting. they got to perceive beyond approach and the same way of the cia, i was uncomfortable of the reaction of the audience and uncomfortable yesterday. >> the president often says put the camera on the crowd so that we can see who was providing the laugh sister ater and the appla. >> i am worried of - if they are

proceed in picking sides. >> we don't know about the cia reality or other family members are there or only employees of the cia. and really the audience is predominantly like family members or friends of other extended relatives of the graduates of that. for them to spontaneously feel that the president is agreeing with them that the coverage is often negative and in a non warranted way. they do feel that and they do feel sympathetic to the president calling the news fake news. for them to say it and for them to laugh, that does express how they really feel about the reporting that often, you know, is done in connection to law enforcement activity. >> i get your point that the composition of that room was

largely not fbi personnel. let me ask you distinct lyanne fbi question. when the president uses words like "disgraceful" and i think he is referring to the texts interplay between the two agents. when used in a broad sense, what kind of harm and does that cause a moral to the fbi? >> it is harmful. the president needs to be specific. what occurred on the 7th floor fbi headquarters regarding mccabe and comey, he had the right to be absolutely disgusted with that. that's not the majority. i am talking about almost all of fbi personnel worldwide are doing an incredible job. unfortunately, they also have been tarnished and not just by the reporting that's coming out about the comey and others in

their investigations, which that reporting is true. the president should distinguish who's at fault here. o one of the comments is we are going to rebuild the fbi. they don't need to rebuild. they need leadership at the top of the organization and that goes all the way to the attorney general. i think attorney general sessions have an an absentee landlord with the department of justice. he was not recusing himself from the russian collusion case and at any given time, the fbi has more than 20 or 30,000 investigations worldwide. where is he in leading that situation or the executive management that does needs to be strengthen up. >> we are yet to see what

director hay is going to do now that he's in charge? >> i think when it is a shotgun blast 'approach, using word disgracef disgraceful, instead of speaking of spes city about the incident that you just made reference to. >> thank you, tom fenuentes. >> i just had a visceral negative reaction in watching that live on television. i thought who are these people to be laughing and joking along i was offering it as an american

that does not want to see this is the hard word for me to pronounce. that's where i am coming from. one word, quickly. smerconish, a nice spin on the applaud. it was amazing how many people laughed at out. >> are you not unsettled, richard, by the prospect of the intel community or the cia, the thin blue line out there protecting all of us and perceived by everything else in this world along partisan lines. it used to be that our partisan ship ended at our borders and we unite on certain things. i am nervous when law enforcement is perceive and being on one side. they should be on all of our side. up thahead, are the chicken littles net neutrality is going over board.

i will ask robert mcdowel. and later does a recipe of cinnamon roll makes a sexual apology tolerable and i will ask tina brown of what he makes of batali's recipe for "i am sorry." how do you chase what you love with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis? do what i did. ask your doctor about humira. it's proven to help relieve pain and protect joints from further irreversible damage in many adults. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira has been clinically studied for over 20 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,

including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ready for a new chapter? talk to your rheumatologist about humira. this is humira at work. i can do more to lower my a1c. and i can do it with what's already within me. because my body can still make its own insulin. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7, and you don't have to see or handle a needle. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise.

it should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take trulicity if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you're allergic to trulicity. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i choose once-weekly trulicity to activate my within. if you need help lowering your a1c and blood sugar, activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.

so is this the dire situation. joining me now is robert mcdowel. he was dominated by president bush and obama. >> robert, i want to talk about the three seas. contents, costs and competition. i need you to dumb it down for me. i got the stove pipes, it comes to my house and delivers my internet. if my service providers also contains content, won't they impact my ban with. >> thank you for having me on, thank you for this inaugural moment. it is my first time on cnn. >> the question is what laws best apply here? whether it is the 20 years of the clinton's add administration and using three federal statue and it is the last ftwo years.

when you have more competition in the broad band base and the fastest growing of the broad band market is mobile broad band. and going over the top videos and downloading preloaded videos, sometimes live streaming on their mobile device that's shaking up this hole ecosystem and a wonderful way for consumers. that's part of the competitive counter battles to the monopoly argument, if you look at the market as a cable pipe into your tv that's bolted into your walls and living room. i am not saying you but the people. that's not the complete picture. what's in the denominator and the competition here is wireless. nine out the ten americans, and plus it is on licensed spectrum and cables and builders like

fire. it is a great time and concept. >> maybe the original sin in the view of the detractors was when internet service providers was also allowed to control content. >> what's an interesting argument there, too. this one does not get talked about a whole lot. a source of providers are integrated and your company is trying to get bought by at&t or comcast or verizon owning yahoo and aol. the question is, is there an instead for them to have content views by fewer eye balls or more than people. the easy answer is your content is not valuable if more people are looking at it. you want your content to be on a platform and people watching your show on this where ever they are so your ratings go up and that makes you valuable in

the marketplace. >> there is an economic center for them to start shutting out other isp contents. it becomes an attrition. the safety value for that is wireless and there is a new super wi-fi that's coming in. it is going to be a wonderful time to be a consumer. >> as a consumer, am i going to pay more? >> per bits per seconds, you have been paying less. just a year ago and we did not have all the major wireless carrier offerings of unlimited data plan. they all offer unlimited data plan. you have t-mobile and sprint and the other two had to catch up and as well as others. the volume and data that you get and how fast you get it, the price had been going down per bit per seconds.

overall the prices rise a. you are getting more for your dollars than you did last year or five years ago. you did not have mobile broad band. >> competition, you know the criticism is in the new era now that no one is entrepreneurial or a start up is going to be able to compete with the giants. your responses is what to that? >> what the fcc reverse yesterday was an order that went in place february 2015. before that, you had the legal construct that i don't want to get into unless you want me to get into. it was adopted in the clinton's board administration. it was flexible. it used three federal statues. and the ftc is a great by obama

and the second is by john liebowitz. >> i read it. >> he's a good guy. he's a very smart guy. it outlines why the ftc continues to do a great job. it was kicked off because of legal court of february 2015. now,it is back and it manages competitions and serves of a high-tech in complex yaarea of r economy. they had 670 lawyers. what they do is they go around the economy looking for anticompetitive behaviors and sued companies. they sued at&t and comcast and they had 500 violations against other types of companies. it is a big huge public interest law enforcement and doj involved in the space as well.

there is a lawsuit involving and merging at&t. they are looking at these things as well. that's what works so well and gave us this beautifully blossom internet marketing place for 2015. >> it is a difficult subject to follow. i am happy to have you here because i thought a guy who was appointed by both w and obama can present it in a non partisan way. >> robert, thank you so much for your time. lets see your reaction on smerconish's twitter and what do we have? >> how is net neutrality a par san issue when 80% of the people want to keep it? >> in of itself, it tells you it is a partisan issue. i had a poll on my website where was it like 91% to 9%. >> there tit was, 93% to 7%.

i get it. overwhelmingly the polls say this is what people want but it was partisan at the fcc. time for one more or do i have to move on? >> move on. up next, inspired by t the #metoo movement. a new website sorts movies and tv shows by whether there is any rotten apples in the basket. is that fair? i will talk about this and more with legendary editor, tina brown. ness, hold on to your tiara kind of day. get 24/7 digestive support, with align. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand. also in kids chewables.

i love the assessment and i wonder as i read it, what do you think he thinks of that? >> well, he may think it is right. >> the trump in the 80s would agree and the trump of now is oh my god serious about himself. the time i met him, he was just a great sales man and he was funny about it at the time, for a while. >> as you see in later part of the diaries, i stopped to have a different view of it and then he was fun. >> well, would there be a president donald trump and i don't want to put it all on your shoulders for better or worse but without the celebrity culture that you chronicle through "vanity fair" and other publications, would he be where he would be today? >> well, we kind of developed and turn into something iconic i guess. i cannot say we were responsible for it.

we had an actor at the white house as i took over. it is the obvious offshoot of that time. >> it led to the apprentice and the white house. there is no question when that arc begins in those periods and years and in the 80s. >> you have him in 1991 taking umbri umbridge. >> something published on "vanity fair." >> we covered a very kind of skeptical, critical, deep dive into his financials and of course, these crazy torture. we did a piece and did the whole thing apart. >> it was sitting there at a benefit in the tower. eight or months later, she found

did that position authority sparing you to be on the receiving end of sexual harassment? >> well, quite honestly, it is true the best way to keep sexual harassme harassment surface is being in charge. i was a boss lady and an editor in chief. the more women we have in position of authorities, middle management across the board and etcetera, the more you are going to see that atmosphere of broke culture gets blown up. it is not an incident that there were ten men on the weinstein company board and i mean no women, at all. >> there is not any kind of sense of how women are thinking or reacting to things in so many positions of authorities and so many places and that's where it

all goes wrong. when women are an animal or borrowed interests. that's where it really goes wrong. >> is there any risks of reaching a point that you desire when there are more women in those management positions that it continues, except it is the woman who are perpetrators. >> that could happen, too. this is about power and there is no doubt that it is about in equity and power that creates a situation where one victim is creating. lets put it this way. it is pretty unlikely or somehow out llandish to think of lisa f

is hugely important. all the states of legal sizing value nicinitiatives because th changes things. new jersey being the first to push it through the legislature marks rather new territory for these initiatives to take place. valid initiatives are not either. that was a valid initiative that was passed in 2016. the governor vetoed it and had no interests in passing it. we see a lot of things happening as far as these laws are being pushed through on a state level. there is still a several roadblocks for them taking too full action. >> and is jeff sessions, x the unknown? >> he is. >> the power that jeff sessions has is that he does not have to do anything. that does not change its federal

standing. it remains a schedule on drugs. in doing so, there is still a lot of limitations against it. as you said california enacted its legalization law on january 1st. it is huge. california is the biggest states in america. there is still a lot of problems they are facing of the fires in california and millions of dollars worth of marijuana. there is no crop insurance for those farmers and additionally they are losing out on a lot of money and it is a gamble to grow marijuana when you cannot share your crops. marijuana being a federally legal substance, it means it can be traffic across state borders. so california should according to state law should remain in california. there is potential for a flooding up the market and lowering prices overall. so legalization as a whole is not like a golden road. there is still a lot of problems
