announcer 1: as you heard, this event is cancelled this morning so we will bring you the washinton journal. we welcome to the desk and coulter. -- anne coulter. . want to get your thoughts ann: i just woke up and i have by practiced law in a while, right a little about both cases in resistance is futile. the metaphoric case has nothing whatsoever to do with trump. example of the one

soviet import have in this country, which is the office of the special counsel, robert mueller. now we have metaphoric and 17 talented prosecutors -- we have manafortc -- we have and 17 talented prosecutors looking for evidence of crimes. eyesight in the book -- i cite in the book a book alled "three felonies a day." are so many felonies that the average person could be committing every day. followed crime a day on

twitter, i saw some of the ones scrolling by when i was writing my book and one is the federal felony not to label a tampon on its label of absorbency unless it is sold from a vending machine. we don't even know how many federal crimes there are because there are so many. there was once an attempt to count them, they gave up in frustration, so anyone who is something complicated like tax law and i find it hilarious that one of them is lying to the bank. that is what brought down the economy, that is what the democrats were pushing, you can ite unemployment because we need everybody to buy a house. that was an official government policy opposed by some republicans. they were yelled at a barney frank and maxine waters and that his people lying on loans to buy houses. -- doesn'twe

everyone know about that now and he is getting nailed for it? it is comical, as for the tax case -- and i am definitely not a tax lawyer, but i know there are ways to evade taxes and it was pioneered by george soros. if you make money abroad, you keep them in accounts abroad and when and how you have to report them and how much and george soros has been moving money back and forth, he is worth $20 million, how about look at someone instead of someone who for two months he was trump's campaign manager. host: can the campaign be more concerned about the coming guilty plea, the campaign finance violations that he pled guilty to, implicating president trump? ann: it is kind of hard to say, because manafort has nothing to do with trump. even less to do with the russian collusion.

, i think it exposes the special counsel. cohen doesn't look like necessarily be part -- the kind of person i would choose to be my legal representative, or anything else. he does seem a little bit shady, let me put it that way. i think most people are not floored that there are some tax irregularities. the fact that they threw in a campaign finance violation for stormy daniels, that shows the whole point of this is to get trump. i describe campaign-finance violations in the book. i will say very quickly, the single most important part you know most people in washington know -- most normal people don't know anything about campaign finance violations, although there being described as if they are a crime against pedophilia. they are very complicated. the most important thing to know

is, is this money that would have been spent for the campaign. it will be very hard to prove that a man whose namesake is all of his businesses, his golf courses, his hotels, that other than the fact that i was running for office, i don't care if everybody thinks i am sleeping around. convictione manafort that increasese the pressure on others to cooperate with mueller and may move for mueller to bring in the president sooner than later, possibly by issuing subpoenas. do you think that's the case? ann: i think that's something we've been hearing for two years, which i make fun of in my book. you start with the little fish and moved to the big fish and nothing happens. it is not good for manafort or cohen, and i think it does further expose the special counsel as being convening a star chamber to look at one man

and everyone around him. i don't think a lot of people -- so far trump -- a lot of people around him have survived that but that is not the way the law is supposed to work. ann: what would be your advice to the president today -- host: what would be your advice to be president today? um, cohen, he has nothing to worry about. that is a silly case. let's say he's guilty, he will have to pay fine. coinstar word who is now fighting for his life, and he will say no, -- it is cohen's word who is now fighting for his life, and he will say no, but i would refer you to the john edwards case who has wealthy donors. paying millions of dollars to put up his mistress when he was running for president. his pregnant mistress. he went to court, everyone riddick ruled -- everyone

osecution.the pr i think that clearly had to do with the campaign, although will be difficult to prove. that what these women are alleging, is just stormy day nose or both of them? host: karen mcdougal has been brought up as well. ann: was it paying both of them are only stormy daniels? host: it was money for karen mcdougal's story. ann: i don't believe either of them. it doesn't matter. one of the things i'm not wild about the president for, the only political thing i am angry with him for is not but i'm the wall, um, from connecticut and we don't consider it tasteful to be bragging about your wealth. but if you're going to go around bragging about your wealth and hanging around with reality tv stars and playboy bunnies, you

are probably going to get a lot of suits. fort of nuisance suits and one thing, i don't think the karen mcdougal 1 -- she said she had an affair with him for one year and does not have evidence. i could take a boy for a week and give you five pieces of evidence. he didn't leave cufflink behind, no answering machine message? the other one claims a one-time role in the sack and i think overlaying all of this, it is worth remembering that, um, donald trump is a german folk. i don't believe it. -- is a germophobe. i don't believe it. cohen has made a big mistake, i think. he reminds me of -- if you remember -- um, the hero of the politicians case, of the clinton was paul apologetic -- a jones.

people latched on to her, wanted to give her a playboy spread, we want to bring her down. that is what they're doing to cohen. ust: ann coulter but -- with us until our program ends. out with a new book as of yesterday. i went to jump to the conclusion. the title of the conclusion, for democracy to live, we must kill the media. strong linkage, explain. willthe previous 200 pages illustrate why. luckily, i don't have a job so i can spend months reading through nexus lexis transcripts of every discussion of trump on cnn,

every article about him in the new york times. it is pretty stunning the contradictions, not only from year to year, month to month, but day today. the position of the resistance, it has encompassed the media, is where is trump on this? is awful. to the extent of not caring about defendants rights, jumping in on bullying people, um, facts and logic, how about russian collusion? do we really care about russian collusion, because have a tip for you, hillary clinton's campaign, and the dnc and the fbi paid russians for information on the opponent, donald trump. collusion,russian but when the media -- most of it has always been liberal, and i am the new york times most devoted and loyal reader but it used to be you could read the new york times and, ok, i would

not have made this paragraph one, in fact i probably would not have made his first six paragraphs first paragraph, but eventually i will get some facts. it is getting to the point that you can't even turn to the gold standard of journalism and expect to get facts from it. i think we need to destroy the media and rebuild it along more ethical lines. that is the one thing it looks sick we might get out of trump is it does not look like we are looking a wall. -- because it does not look like we are getting a wall. host: have you made a career out of the media? ann: we would so have a media, it would just be an ethical media. it would not be fake news. sending awayt be citizens who need facts to know what is going on with a false story. host: one paragraph from that conclusion page, you write, trump may be shallow, narcissistic, disloyal and the crudest kind of braggart, but he theike chemotherapy for

country. you vomit, your hair falls out, but kills cancer and you live. trump's presidency may be unpleasant that everyone on the new york times editorial board will type. has the new york times reached out to you about that -- the new york times editorial board will die. has the new york times reached out to you about that? ann: no, i invited them to a book party. there are one or two good reporters at the new york times, but there are enough who are not and certainly the editorial most recent addition, a woman who has dedicated all of her free time to cheering for the genocide of white men. that is going a long way to making the media look objective and fair, new york times. good job. host: we're talking with ann is "futile."book we're taking your calls.

sawer: the first thing i when trump was elected, i was watching on several networks and i had a feeling we were going to get to this point when i saw don lemon in his words say if trump was elected, there is no way to polish this turned, i've never seen this -- to polish this turd, i have never seen this kind of disrespect. after $17 million, we come up ad discover that there may be small infraction, may not be an infraction, there is no russian collusion we have not proven russian collusion. we're tightening the screws on andybody around him, basically we come up with the fact that he may have had sex with two women. a billionaire man that may have had sex out of wedlock. i don't pick it was worth $17 million. ann: no, that is a great point.

one of the good things about having written so many books about politics is there are lots of flashbacks in my book, on the campaign finance violation point, you may recall many c-span viewers may recall during the clinton year we had chinese nationals literally dragging duffel bags of cash to the dnc. had the white house holding fundraisers in the white house. that is a campaign-finance violation.-- eventually, videotapes emerged and as i point out, saturday night live was tougher on the president and the attorney general. no independent counsel, the newspaper of record chastises janet reno for her blunders. give me a break.

nadia, virginia, independent. thatr: i find it is taking you are twisting yourself into a pretzel and denigrating your own integrity by pursuing this whataboutism. let's focus on being an american first rather than a conservative. let's stop talking about democrats and republicans and liberals, basically you're saying that all of these honorable people who have come ,ut, republican and democrat who have come out and said what this president has done to the office of the presidency is heinous and you're saying, our entire justice system is incompetent. you are saying someone who commits bank fraud -- and i am a banker -- you're saying someone who commits bank fraud and tax

evasion and is complicit with fraud,sident to commit you are saying -- you are laughing it all away. ann: a lot of anger there. you might want to see someone about that. is the idea that it is the country first, which is precisely why people like me were so excited about the trump presidency. it is republicans versus democrats and i think the trump presidency exposes that. republicans and democrats are united against the people and trump exposed that. he came into office with people behind him, i agree in theory, though clearly not with what the implication is, what about america first? 90% of republicans, 100% of

democrats, all they care about is who is pulling the strings, their donors. more current news in the primary -- i have one more point on nadia. , we're comingsm back to that. the primary for governor in wyoming pitted, uh, i think it is the state treasurer against a very, very wealthy man. a donor to a lot of causes that i think are fantastic and i completely wholeheartedly support. i was going around washington doing interviews and people were chatting about it. saying, everyone i talked to 100% thought he was going to win and i thought isn't he a little old? and they said he spent so much money. that is washington. they still think you win elections with money. trump spent less money than sanders did.

see, everybody else was wrong and ann was right. why have they not learned that trump was right? push popular ideas and you win. you probably can't even see that i keep pointing to the capital building. why do politicians still think that elections are one with money? they are one with popular ideas. what is interesting about trump is he is not a down the line republican. she did not run on tax cuts. that is why some of us are ticked off that he began with tax cuts. host: what is your relationship with the administration? ann: first i want to get to whataboutism. this is big these days because it is for people paying attention so massively unfair. every president being dropped -- dent being trapped right and left, saying we don't want to hear about hillary clinton, for those of you who

is,t know what whataboutism it is also known as the rule of law. like cases are treated alike. that is why justice is wearing a blindfold and holding a scale. it is not supposed to matter if your last name is trump or clinton. tism is an attempt to destroy the entire construct of the rule of law, like cases are treated alike. host: do you want to talk about your relationship with the administration? well, for those of you who follow me on twitter know i was his most vocal supporter. magnificent,was trump has stunning political instincts. as i wrote in my last book, i love seeing these washington style republicans going on tv saying he isg him, not a real republican. half the country is not a republican.

it is an all new party of the course i have been disappointed that he has abandoned that. host: president trump twee ting i feel badly for paul manafort and his wonderful family. a tax case and put pressure on him and he refused to break. that is very different from what the president said about his former lawyer, if anyone is looking for a good lawyer, i strongly suggest that you do not retain michael cohen. ann: [laughter] i do think trump -- i love his tweets. the difference in manafort and cohen reminds me of have you seen one of my favorite movies, true romance? host: i have not. ann: you're such an

intellectual. a between little elliott collapsing when he is pulled who getsthe girlfriend beaten up for 20 minutes in a hotel room is the difference between manafort and cohen. i will tell you anything. that is coming. dottie, democrat. just want to give my opinion. i have read some things that she wrote. i think ann coulter is crazy. she wants us to believe that what we have been watching for the last 18 months -- what you have read is not true. i have read a few things. dear, i don't have to give you the name of it. ann: you don't know the name of it. [laughter] caller: the same way you don't have to give us any evidence that the clintons are committing any crimes. you are not saying anything about trump's foundation getting ready to kick it out of new york because he was cheating.

you're are not saying anything about how he took the money from the foundation and bought himself a big porch and bought it -- put in his telling. you're not saying anything about he goes golfing every weekend on our money and has the nerve to talk about what somebody else did. i do watch it. i have seen his rallies. all he talks about his hillary clinton is a crock, he hasn't evidence that hillary clinton is a crook. ann: i don't know why people can't just make points and must lie by saying they have read things by me, which she hasn't. just make your point . the fact that they are going to trump golf too much in the nonsense about one charity by a portrait for another for a fund-raising drive, if that is what you got, and that is probably what robert mueller has, which is why he is going into campaign finance. olmsted ohio,

republican, good morning. caller: good morning. congratulations on your book, and god bless you. i think donald trump has been the catalyst this country has .eeded for a long time what he has done is weaken the american public and the american public is starting to speak out. the have been silent for a long time. they don't pay attention to the news at all anymore. they can't be full anymore. donald trump has been the catalyst that has awakened america. of people like yourself. i am very optimistic about our future because of this. the more trash they throw on donald trump, the more read the states will become. it is ironic that they cannot hurt this man with all of their nastiness, because we have awakened in america and we care about our country. our veterans care about our country.

i care about our country. i'm going to be 88 years old and i am so happy to see this man come to the forefront and do it he is doing. ann: thank you. i do think -- that is the point of my last chapter -- that trump has accomplished a lot and it is toerious thing to get people laugh at the media. um, some of us have been there for a while. as i say in the book, it is like a hit man goes into the witness protection program, goes to iowa living under a false name, then after 30 years decides, i am running for office under my own name. then he is dead. that's what i feel like the media has done. i always knew what they were that have lost their minds with trump. they can't control the venom and the nonsense in the contradictions. we have 2 -- at the same

time trump constantly bashing alerting a much wider swath of americans that you can't trust the media. host: trump constantly bashing the media and some concern from the media about the language he uses. this is from the end of last york times publisher after his meeting with the president putting out a statement. i told the president that his language is not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. although the phrase fake news is untrue and harmful, i'm far more concerned about his labeling journalists the enemy of the people. ann: journalists have to worry about some potentiality of violence, whereas some supporters have to live with actual violence. since the trump campaign, we have seen fascist take violence repeatedly at trump's campaigns.

the vicious attacks that shut down a trump rally in chicago at the inauguration, i don't know if you were here for that. the rides in the streets. none of them prosecuted. 200 of them arrested, but the judge throws out the most important charge. you have repeated violence at berkeley whenever they invite a conservative to speak. we have the night of freedom in new york city, exposed by jonathan levine, he took a video of these happy -- not all of them are chump supporters. , knew somebody who went to one liberals, gays, all caps of people. i come out on the street of new york and one guy -- one who attended, his head smashes into the concrete. he is just lying there in the video. carted off to the hospital. this week, you have the social distortion concert with the trump supported being beaten up

by the lead singer as the crowd are cheering on one guy against 600. they are going to talk about the potentiality of violence. give me a break. if you care about violence, you because weown antifa are seeing many aspects of fascism rising in this country and it is against trump supporters. host: maryland, independent. caller: good morning. thank you for being a guest. i would like to remind everyone that this entire investigation was started by a conspiracy to defraud the court. what we seeing unfold before our unders a communist coup color of law. thank you. as i say, i do think the special counsel with this

youate to investigate, if can find anything there, and if one around trump. this is justice. have a commission. how was it all when james comey was fired, all of the news media, echoes of order date with republicans all the time. under all about trump is investigation. for comingths later to finally admit comey was never -- come equipment trump was number -- never under investigation and he fires the man investigating. out, there were spies on the trump campaign,

they said we were not spying on you, we were protecting you. not only trump and his campaign was never investigation, so what is the theory for the special counsel other than this guy looks like a sleaze. if that is the standard, i would like george soros investigated. 25 minutes left. and coulter with her book coming out. taking your calls and comments. democrat, good morning. caller: everybody in washington is trying to make money off of this thing. my comment is, i hope they can let people's love for the president, not the

electoral college. i think that is completely wrong and i say that if they would by the people's vote than we would not have this idiot in the white house. he should have never got there. he should've never had a chance to run. this is just despicable and sorry and i hated every day. i'm not saying hillary would have been better, but how could you get any worse. andle jumping in the street the happiness, wait until he gets impeached. it is coming. guest: it reminds me of one of my actual jokes, and norm hatedld joke, the voters hillary so much, they voted for some of the hated even more. host: everyone is talking about

your book that came out this week. he talked a little bit through it want to give you a chance to respond to what he said about you. the right-wing billionaires pay a lot of people you see on tv to do propaganda for him -- for them including an coulter. and largely, for her profit and their profit when they get tax cuts. guest: i wish. i could use that money. no one has ever paid me except the people who buy my books. i have been hearing this since the clinton era. i don't know why it is comforting for liberals to think this.

they apparently don't want me writing books. sorry, that is what i do for living. , myink most of the books iny first -- read first book 1998, high crimes and misdemeanors. saidblisher called me and only person who thee her own book on the bestseller list. the new york times has different list, hardcover, paperback, fiction, nonfiction, i wanted was for authors who wrote their own book.

it would be a different list because mostly it is celebrities pieces of crap. why can't they just sell doormats and that rubs or mugs. i research and write my books. i am a great writer and a killer researcher. host in your acknowledgment : section, you say it my friends cannot be mentioned in an ann coulter book. why? guest they work in industries : they would never work again. [laughter] host: akron, ohio, independent thank you for c-span. it i did not vote for trump. i had to hold my nose to vote for hillary. i like trump more. i used to go to his casinos every summer and play blackjack. i won more than i lost. i do not think he is qualified for the job. i am two miles from lebron james and i love him, but he is not -- i would not vote for him to be mayor of akron because he is

not qualified. if trump leaves office, makes no different to me, will be replaced by mike pence and not hillary clinton. i think he is like ross perot, i admire him but he is a showman. he is not qualified for the job. i like the guy. i would not vote for lebron james for mayor of akron as much as i like lebron james. i was safe to the caller is -- what i would say to the caller is exactly what we ie caller need right now. i think washington has gotten fat and happy and forgot about the people who voted for them. pushing a lot of ideas that used to be things democrats claimed to agree with, that used to care about the working class. the manufacturing base. they used to be not for wall street. trump turns that upside down, he took no money from wall street.

it was like 90% of the money was for hillary. the other 10% was not for trump , but a third-party candidate. some of us who supported trump the candidate were disappointed when he turned the keys of the kingdom to goldman sachs. but that is why i say, my book is for you because maybe we will not get the things he ran on. trade, immigration, no more wars the most important ones, instead he pushed mitch mcconnell's agenda. cutting regulations was great and got the economy going and tax cuts were more a second term kind of thing. we really wanted the wall first. up the system, to expose the media for what it is,

if that is all we get out of this guy, yes, i would vote for lebron james, al sharpton, it just to bust up the system because it is so corrupt. trump has exposed the swamp, beautiful. a concept none of us had before. exposing the media, exposing the swamp. and there is still time, mr. president, you can still build the wall and come through on immigration promises. in my acknowledgments, why can't they be named? one of my very brave friends, among the jobs in hollywood, i cannot blame anyone in that friends, among the jobs in hollywood, i cannot blame anyone in that down, but people -- i am a lawyer so a lot of my friends are lawyers and they come up for judgeships. i will check with my friends in advance, one of my friends is mcgill estrada, he was going to be -- mcgillis trotta, he was -- estrada, one of the best

lawyers i know, would rocket to the supreme court, by fulton you cannot be thanked. -- i told him you cannot be thanked probably. brave is mye, friends come first. of course you can thank me. when he was nominated after i , chuck schumer and announced him for being thanked and one of my books. host: terry in north carolina, republican. caller: good morning. glad to see somebody on here who thinks like i do. clinton could look in the mirror and the reflection would have been jeb bush. i am so sick of washington. i have tried to get c-span to tell us where our money goes. we should know to the exact

pending how they spend our money -- howy how they should they spend their money. guest: i want their salaries. something out of the russian nonsense is to see something and thismuch lisa page and that person is being paid. normally the deal with a government job is it is fun, not that much work, you cannot be fired. you get great health care and the pension, who gets pensions anymore? but the trade-off is your salary is not that high. a higher salary in the private sector but you can be fired and you have to pay for your health care and your pension you have to pay for your now government workers get all that and make more than people in the private sector. how about a cut of federal salaries. host: jeff, democrat, florida. caller: thank you for taking my

call. i would like to point out two bits of hypocrisy by ann coulter . would you please put up the statement that trump made today about manafort? i would like her to explain to me what he means when he says, manafort did not break. break what? did not break by telling the truth? guest: by making stuff up, obviously. caller: if you have making stuff up, that is easily proven. you can do that. that is what a court of law is for. you talk about this russian not trumpwhether or himself went to meet and do a collusion thing is a prevalent. what is reveling -- you not trup reveling. what is reveling, he put it --

he putnt -- prevalent, his son, five republican presidents, he has been doing this for years. guest: i never got the apart received on that call. -- hypocrisy on that call. the question was -- manafort? host: the breaking and the president saying that i feel badly for paul manafort and his wonderful family, they applied tremendous pressure on him and unlike michael cohen he refused to break. guest: right. can it be proved? said ishael cohen almost by definition what he was required to say because he is like elliott and "true romance."

"whatever you want me to say." halfng obama paid nearly $1 million in fines on campaign-finance violations. host: the president's latest tweet, michael cohen pled guilty to two counts of finance violations, president obama had a finance violation that was easily settled. guest: right. seeings or -- are is in -- the most important part about the campaign-finance violations is proving the intent to affect the campaign. digging for some sort of crime on people who have not done anything. for example, in many cases like , the but in the news dinesh this is a case, you reimburse people for a campaign,

obvious, you are not randomly writing a check for $2010. would trumpuld -- have paid to give an affair quiet from his wife, people who go to his clubs and resorts. the prosecutor would have to prove, more obvious in the john edwards case, because they are ,ot paying for his mistress supporting for her flying around , living large with democratic very wealthy people. millionaires. are they still paying for her? that is clearly connected to a campaign. the prosecutor was laughed at and he was acquitted. you have to prove the only reason donald trump did this -- about campaign financing violations coming ignorance of the law is a defense in this case. host: charleston, independent.

late.: i tuned in if my comments have been covered, i apologize, the media does need overhauling. bias works inia the favor of the candidate that the outlet opposes and troops rally around the person. thomas jefferson have a lot to say about a free press. in his day, media coverage was not instantaneous and he had a lot to say about editing. there is no editing today, maybe and newspapers, but the media, everything is instant, radio, tv, social media. commentary is there without editing. that is a big problem and why we need overhaul. something about campaign contributions. i am an independent. i think that needs overhauling. it takes way too much money to

mount a successful campaign. that is why you only see the media money control candidates on tv on the national stage during debates which of the republicans and democrats. bernie sanders had a good 2016ign this last cycle in and i am not a bernie sanders independent. i am a member of the constitution party. darrell castle could not get money. thanks to seize that we get to see them but they never get on the national stage. -- thanks to c-span we get to see them but we never see them on the national stage. they need so much money and the taste of victory is so sweet that the supporters of the candidate will yield to temptation and take excessive contributions. guest: i am pushing resistance is futile, a fun book, you have we trustnd -- in trump , you are completely wrong.

that money buys elections. campaign consultants have persuaded politicians that they do need money. spent less money than probably anyone since the lbj era. knows to win who the white house. if a politician pushes popular ideas, that works. no one watches campaign ads. it funds the campaign consultants. i will not go into much of this but let me cite one example of shyster campaign consultant, in annecticut, why do we have semi-retarded senator. we had a good guy who could've run who was perfect for connecticut. consultants ran a

wrestling lady because she is really rich and they can rip her off for money. they line their pockets and their kids college tuition is paid for. i do not blame the candidates, they have can -- consultants saying they can win if you give me money. money does not win races. the sooner politicians bigger out they are being lied to by campaign consultants and the donors are being lied to by giving consultants, popular ideas when. if trump did not prove that, i do not know whatever evidence you will ask for. sanders spent more money than trump. host: how do you feel about linda mcmahon i had of the small business of illustration? guest: she is fine. we are not minnesota. they were never going to go for the wrestling lady. i was fine with her.

rob simmons was perfect for connecticut. he overturned a democrat and an upstate district. he was perfect, perfect, perfect. they would have voted for him in greenwich and again in. -- new canaan. he had everything except money. they ran her a second time because they found out she had another bank account. outrageous how many seats republicans have lost because they listen to shyster campaign consultants. i would love their names to convince linda mcmahon to run and others. not vote for a man in west virginia who lives in palm beach. but the campaign consultants, they said you can win. just write us another check. host: republican, new york, go ahead.

c-span rocks and i have a quick comment. job,rah sanders leaves her my choice to replace her is ann coulter. host: would you take that job? guest: i wanted to do it without hope wanted me to do it and i only said if i could do it for one month and not officially, just to show how it is done. i love sarah huckabee sanders. host: what do you think needs to be done different? guest: more like sarah huckabee sanders and i am sorry for those of you who have jobs and cannot watch her press conferences, they are fantastic. it has become a game for the press, who can become more shockingly rude. who will be featured on the

evening program and nothing to do with getting news. i would almost have two briefings, where you have a policy person, for those who care about policy, we will be answering questions in this room. for showboating members of the press, that will be sarah huckabee sanders. host: jerry an independent -- in alabama, independent. caller: i hear about the fake news, all of the fake news, simple answer to simple solutions, reinstatement of the fairness doctrine. if the fairness doctrine was reinstated, the first two to go would be msnbc and fox news. they would be out of business because they are pure propaganda. reinstate the fairness doctrine and forget about fake news. guest: unfortunately, somebody -- a lot of these rules and laws

sound great but somebody has to administer the fairness doctrine and that is the government. it did not work out as planned. i think we are facing a crisis in free speech. the left has control of mainstream media, hollywood, wall street, silicon valley, the schools, universities, you can go to tiny corners of the internet for facts. the social media companies are saying -- if i were advising the resistance, i would say you have to shut down gamer gate boys on twitter because that was a threat to the enterprise. host: how do you feel about fox news, wall street journal editorial board, washington times editorial board? guest: more of an msnbc gallup because i may hate watch her. because i am a hate watch
