away anytime soon? >> no. >> okay you heard it from the oracle. thank you panel, we will see you next. that is it for today. have a great week. we will see you next "fox news sunday". the story alleged he wanted. [inaudible] >> that was just fake news by nbc. i never wanted that. they give a lot of false news lately. it's disgusting the way that press is able to write whatever they want to write. >> i have looked into it and you might want to start looking into it to mr. president. did the story or the president's response go too far? new troubling sexual assault allegations against harvey weinstein.

we have an interview of his mother calling him depraved. others have come forward and made more accusations. >> he said i had contracts for my next three films and i will send them today but i want you to have a threesome with me and my assistant. >> this exclusive wound up in a major magazine. >> why did you report it for the new yorker not nbc news. >> you would have to ask nbc executives about the details of that story. >> what do journalists know about the weinstein mass and when did they know it. the prime time host joins us on hollywood hypocrisy. and espn suspends the host and call them a white supremacy for tweeting against the dallas cowboys. why are something the punishment is racially

motivated? this is media buzz. first harvey weinstein was fired by his own company after the new york times reported sexual harassment allegations over three decades, which he denied. then a devastating new yorker article where three women said he raped them which he denies. more accusations are emerging. not just actresses but journalists be that's where he cornered me in this vestibule and leaned in and tried to kiss me, which i immediately rebuffed and he immediately exposed himself and began pleasuring himself and i just sat there dumbfounded. >> it took nearly six days for

hillary clinton to say she was shocked and appalled. >> it's good she broke her silence but it's bad she was the last to do so. >> i don't know why she was on twitter condemning the. >> the fact that the clintons didn't condemn us is a black mark on them. >> she finally talked about it. >> what was your reaction when you heard about harvey weinstein? >> i was sick. i was shocked. i was appalled. it was something that was intolerable. joining us now, both are fox

news contributors. we also have the white house correspondent for independent journal review. he did ask her about the money she had taken from weinstein and she will know that into the annual charitable giving. it's unclear where that will go with on top of her normal 10%. i think there's a question for democrats, is the party going to divest from this tainted money from harvey weinstein. >> do think the pressuring that question or going easy on it. >> the dnc put out this ridiculous policy and they got some positive headlines for his anger giving away the money. if the media is that easily fooled there should be more pressure on that front.

>> i'm glad are speaking out against them, but it's hard to avoid the conclusion they were being overcautious because he is not just a big-time democratic donor, he fundraisers for them. >> absolutely. the actual cash that came from him was minimal comparatively but he has been a great friend of the democratic party and liberal causes. even his first ridiculous letter said he was gonna focus on the nra as if we want him with us in any way whatsoever. to a larger point that barack obama and hillary clinton were late to the game and i think more the issue is not what were gonna do with the money but what would you do the ideology. i believe strongly in the values of the democratic party and being champions of women and i believe our policies are better for women across the board and up are not the first to fire on issues like this, i think hard to see if there is. >> republicans are sometimes

reluctant when a conservative gets into trouble but he was it kicked out of the academy awards yesterday. he's cut across party lines, right. >> i don't think six days is all that long but i do think people who tend to defend clinton on television, in the press, were waiting for a response or kind of frustrated that the clinton team wasn't given them one. >> there were stories about when is she going to speak about this. it had been some big republican donor you would've taken six minutes or six hours of the most. >> that's true, but hillary clinton is no longer running for president and people do want her to go away and president obama is no longer president. >> but she is on a book tour. how does nbc who have a number of women went on the record accusing harvey weinstein of rape. she's a special correspondent with nbc, former nbc host. how do you let a model away. >> as a disclosure, i'm friends with ronan and i

thought he gathered, based on what we know publicly, he gathered a lot of factual, reportable information on this story over many man months. eight women on the record. the pushback that he got internally from nbc is shocking and we've seen the drips and drabs coming out from within the building. people angry at nbc, at their own network are basically giving up the scoop and chasing him off to the new yorker which has very high editorial standards. they iran the piece. i think this looks terrible for nbc news and i do want to quickly give some credit to rachel maddow. he. she asked him and pressed him on that? an nbc owned network. >> it was the elephant in the room and she didn't let it go. i will play one piece of audio. there's a dispute about how many they had, this model said she was groped by harvey weinstein the day before. she wore a wire in a new york

police thing. let's listen. >> if you want to leave when he comes. [inaudible] you used to that? i'm not used to that. >> with your permission. please. >> no. >> he admits the groping on the tape. how is that by itself not a story. >> i don't know what they were thinking when he's the kind of prosecutor, adding on to what i was talking about, they also got spooked on the "access hollywood" tape so clearly there are some problems at the top at nbc with their decision to not go forward with these huge stories and stories the american people need to hear about whether it's the president for someone who is running hollywood. >> i work at both nbc and

cnn. both of their news department for the "access hollywood" tape, i don't know that we can say the actual news department knew of the "access hollywood" tape, i think that's up for debate but networks kill stories all the time. it is frustrating at every network. cnn does not have a leg to stand on to go after nbc for not running that story. my suspicion is it has a lot more to do with the fact that they thought they grew up in hollywood, he is young and they probably wanted to make him a star but didn't necessarily believe in his journalistic chops. >> he said he had to go out and spend his own money to do some of this for a crew because nbc wouldn't support him. don't hire him in the first place if you don't think he has the chops to do it. >> i know they kill stories. i've seen it happen. >> all right. what the come back to that. in fairness, nbc news president told his staff that it was offensive and anyone would think nbc was covering up for a powerful person and

in his view he wasn't ready for prime time but of course, weeks later this incredibly well-documented piece shows up in the new yorker. you think too many journalists have perpetuated the myth of harvey weinstein, the mighty movie mogul, the guy who wins oscars while basically looking away from conduct that were hearing was an open secret in new york in hollywood. >> one element of the story that i've been fascinated by his the late-night comedians who jumped all over stories about people at our network who got into trouble along these lines and trump regularly. this is obviously harassment problem, not just in hollywood, but elsewhere. it's the gusto in the immediate see with what some of these people went after in the media and comedy after some targets but not others. some of the excuses from jimmy kimmel and seth meyer on why

they pulled their punches do not hold water at all and i think there's some human nature, going after friends and going after people who are powerful in your orbit is difficult. that's the truth to power. >> nbc has business relationships with weinstein companies and that sort of things. it is hard to nail down and document these kinds of things. i'm not being in critical in any way of the women, particularly those who were young aspiring actresses for not speaking out, but you have to have people willing to go on the record before you can report the starter. >> ) that's why everyone should be praising these women who did find the courage to do that and yes it took some of them a few years to make sure they had established their career and they had a leg to stand on to do it. the audio came out from courtney love back in 2005 sing don't work for harvey weinstein and they banned her, a lifetime ban. when people blame the women

and i've been on other panels were my opponent has come out and said these women knew, don't you dare talk about those women and put them down for what they did when we see what happened when courtney love. >> a new york times columnist wrote about this that there's a network of very aggressive public relation people who guard the secrets of those who they work for and they keep the stuff out of public view and only major news organizations i have the lawyers can take this on. >> that's right, and look, a lot of very wealthy entities or people, when they first see a crisis happening will bring on a public relations firm so they can fend off that sort of thing which obviously we know happened with harvey before he was trying to stop the new york story. >> he's on the cover of "time" magazine looking like a villain which is premature how he's been cast.

producer, predator, pariah. if you want to write to us, trump is talking about pulling tv networks from offending stations but it doesn't quite work that way. we'll have more with the hollywood reporter on his latest i had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. finally, listening to my wife, i went to a doctor and then i became diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma. that diagnosis was tough. i'm a concrete mason. i own my own company. i went from being a guy that could pick up anything i wanted, to having to ask for help. i'm a person that likes to take control. at that point in my life, i said there's nothing i can do. i have to rely on physician's information, physician's recommendations. i had to put my trust in somebody. and i found cancer treatment centers of america through the recommendation of a good friend of mine. i wanted a second opinion. it's actually uplifting coming here, seeing everything positive.

when i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy and then we did high dose therapy and then autologous stem cell transplant. unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. i thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy when his disease progressed because i had been reading about some of the exciting advances in hodgkin's lymphoma. we have drugs that can specifically can affect the patients immune system, and unleash it against the cancer. the tumor is trying to attack him, so we're trying to block the tumor. with chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigued, nauseous. and with immune therapy, we've had such a positive result. the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. i believe that we will use it more and more. i'm back to working out, back to working hard. i've always worked hard, but now it's enjoyable again. and still have energy at the end of the day to have activities with my family.

whether it's kicking the soccer ball around with my stepson, or playing fetch with the dog or going for a walk with my wife, i've honestly never felt this great. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more at cancercenter.com appointments available now.

many movie stars speaking out now. more than 30 women have made allegations against harvey weinstein. >> at that point, i fled from the room. i was scared at that point because he is a very domineering man and, sorry.

>> how much do people in hollywood and the media know about this behavior. let's start with the remarkable interview bob weinstein in which he said his brother is depraved and going through a waking nightmare and barely talk to the past five years and he knew his brother was philandering but not coercing and then he was physically assaulted. how do you know this isn't a spin to see himself from this disaster. >> we don't. obviously the big question, and the first question i asked him was, he's your brother, how could this go on without you knowing, and he's making a distinction between what everyone in the company knew which was that he was a philanderer traveling around the world, trying to sleep with women at all times of the day, but they weren't in the room with him so they don't know what actually happened in that room.

>> bob weinstein telling you, when they had a physical altercation, this was a defining moment of cowardice on my part and apparently was a very emotional interview. let me ask you also, harvey weinstein, well-known, it's very difficult for journalist to do extensions illustrate how did your last call with them go. >> i would speak with harvey every once in a while, par for the course in my job and he was often threatening, sometimes charming. my last interaction after the cannes film festival, we had a item about how the police had accosted him outside the party, and he sort of passive aggressively insinuated he could buy my magazine and replace me as editor. it was kind of like that you just threatened to buy my magazine and have me fired, but that was the way he operated. >> that doesn't sound passive, that sounds aggressive. how many journalists knew,

suspected, heard rumors in your town in your circle that he was a sexual predator? >> i think that's a difficult question because you are asking what we know that we heard the stories, we investigated about two years ago we put a team of people on trying to find people who tell us on the record would affect them. we even had a big white board with all the different people who had worked at miramax in the weinstein company. we had a list of actresses that the stories and it wasn't until this breakthrough in the new york times practices came forward and spoke on the record that the floodgates opened. >> without those on the record testimony, it's very difficult to publish these accusations.

after cases that we been through with bill cosby, bill o'reilly, all the silicon valley companies, you do you think the climate has changed in reporting on this and made it easier for women who were traumatized by this. david got out of the business because of harvey, to speak on the record. >> i definitely think the culture has changed and because of the examples you cited, more women are feeling more comfortable to come forward. certainly a risky thing to do, it's a brave thing to do and there are potential repercussions for women who do it in the courtney love story is heartbreaking. but, it is a change in the culture that has happened and we would not have these women coming forward on harvey weinstein had the others not come before it. as far as the media goes, it's still a risky proposition to level accusations that a powerful figure, but i do believe media is more likely to do the stories because of

the place we are in the culture right now. >> all right. i guess you get to keep your job. thank you for joining us from l.a. laura ingram on the president, the press and populism and why they speak to reporters and throw a few jabs. ♪ mr. wise man... you wish to know how to protect your sterling credit score. my credit is off to a good start, but i worry my information was hacked, which kinda freaks me out. well, unfreak yourself out and download the free creditwise app from capital one. creditwise gives you a credit score, and alerts you to changes. even if i'm not a capital one customer? nooooo! yeah, and it's free for everyone. thank you. gravity, is a fickle mistress. what's in your wallet?

the media has been saying that john kelly, the new chief of staff is growing frustrated in his job and the general walked into the press room to respond. >> it is a astounding how much is misrepresented. i will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are operating off of contacts, leaks, whatever but i would just offer the advice, maybe develop some better sources. >> get better sources.

his john kelly thing i'm sick of these leaks, you guys don't know what you're talking about. he does that with military command. >> it's effective. if i were advising the white house, generally, i would advise him to do more of this because we get all the stories weekly, at least daily often on intrigue and who's frustrated and who's on the brink of being out and a lot of times there's bad information about kelly, the fact that they sent him out directly to respond in person and answer a bunch of questions, giving new information to the press, i think it diffused a lot of it. he commands the room. i would love to see more of him and more top principals within the administration face the press frequently. >> and i agree, that was a success. we can declare that white house press briefing a success because they did what they set out to do which is shut down

all of those rumors. i agree with you they should do that more often. also i would say he did note that he has done three of the records and some of the reporters had violated the terms. what i would say is they don't put out a number these principles as often as they should, but they do have very high-level principles doing off the record meetings all the time. i would venture to say probably more than the obama administration was doing this really. >> there are others who told me they're also very frustrated by these leaks which often make the president look like he doesn't know what he's doing. just because general kelly comes out and says the stories are untrue doesn't mean he's not frustrated in his job. he's a good soldier. >> absolutely. i would have to agree with the two of you about this. i think it was certainly a success and that you watch general john kelly and you believe in his service to the country which he is continuing now and being part of this

administration, old role that i don't think he takes lightly or one that i don't that you wanted in the first place. there is a "peace a while ago about how he doesn't talk to former chiefs of staff. he is the first one that was not part of that club. he wants to go about his business and get a tough job done. i think what happened is similar with tillerson after the comment which i think was totally a moron comment from what he said is that the president of the united states of america marches these guys out there and make something for their supper. >> come on now. the idea that john kelly is going to be bullied by anyone, even if it's the president. >> i said i think he's telling the truth about it and i agree with his point, he certainly frustrated but you don't think the president trump said to his chief of staff, everyone saying you hate it here and you're gonna quit, maybe you could go out there and do a press conference, i'd really

appreciate it. >> he said that the president suggested he should do that. >> , get frustrated if you don't stop because i gotta get a break. someone is eating the press these leaks whether fully accurate. next up, whether the gop is breaking apart in a few words about our short fox. the president accused mbc of. fiction and the network standards ground.

with an explosion of news, i sat down with laura ingram who is launching a prime time show and is author of the new book billionaire at the barricade. populace revolution from reagan to trump. welcome. with the absolutely disgusting allegations coming out, how much of an open secret was

the, and did you know about it. >> i had heard about it when i was at the sundance film festival, covering it, the recovered it, i believe it was the same year, i was doing a standup piece for a bunch of celebrities. a bunch of friends were in the movie business. i didn't know who he was. someone said he raped this girl. it stuck in my mind, but years later, i remembered and i thought that's kind of interesting. then i thought something happen at the sundance festival. i knew about it, i wasn't even in the industry. i think frankly a lot of actors and actresses are coming forward saying this is horrible, this is disgusting, they were making jokes about it on 30 rock. they were making reference to

it at the oscars with a little off hand harvey. young lives were destroyed, careers were ruined, rose mcgowan was never the same and there are many other stories like that and not just at the hands of weinstein. this happened across every industry, it happens both to women and men, young men have been subjected to this. i sat on twitter the other day , he's kind of like a mob boss. he has a lot of people who protect them and he has a lot of people bought off and afraid. >> another big press story this past week has been the president slamming little bob corker on twitter, coming back and saying this is the lead up to world war iii. now you have a public president and foreign relations chair in this war of words.

is this overplayed or is it important. >> i think it's entirely predictable. bob corker was never comfortable with donald trump and i like worker as a person, i think he's a nice guy, but he's not a trump guy. he's more of a bush republican. it doesn't make it any less newsworthy. >> yes but the problem is if he decides to go into the white house and asked donald trump to support his candidacy, i think donald trump will fail do it, i help you in many goes running in interviews and basically. [inaudible] back and forth, it's not what i would do. what path is the right path for the country.

should we do the same kind of policy that got us into the situation with iran and middle east, military intervention, the rise of china? he is trying to get us out. i understand the old establishment is important but trump won and the others did not. >> your generally supportive of president trump but when he didn't push for funding of the wall, you tweeted build the wall, build wall. >> i differ with him on that. i didn't love the way the travel ban was rolled out. ultimately the court decided not to take the case so that will stand now. >> can you send a message by saying it to the television camera as opposed to talking to him privately. >> i don't know. i really don't know. i speak my mind. i do what george w. bush, i

campaigned for him and i had a break with them because of amnesty and harriet miers and a lot of other things. my allegiance is to this populist conservative agenda that he iran on, successfully, and if he continues to advance it and push for it, the vote will reward him. if this economy continues to grow, he will be in good shape in 2020. >> why did so many commentators oppose donald trump in the campaign. >> not populace. their elitist printer will bless. they were in the reagan coalition. i think in reagan's own charm and experience as governor of california, he was able to hold all together. >> going to leave some time to talk about the ingram angle which debuts on fox. you have been saying your show

will be different. >> politics and the rest of lif life. >> the rest of life is included. >> there is a lot that happens throughout the day and i think because of the russia and political news cycle, we might not cover, everything from parenting to hollywood to the social pressure that young kids are under and the internet, the constant presence of screens in our lives but there's a lot to discuss regarding the understanding of gender and gender bending and how that affects us understanding human relationship. there's a lot to discuss. some of it is left and right, and some of it isn't. i think we have an obligation to cover everything. i try to do it from all angles. i'm a conservative, i always will be and i'll bring on different voices for these topics but we had a lot of

great voices that we will hear from predators young people who have a lot to say, infuriating stories and make people laugh. >> you've got your daily syndicated show and your mother of three kids. do not require much sleep. >> i don't sleep much but i need to sleep more and apparently i need to learn how to nap. >> power nap. the secret to success. good to see you. >> thank you. the duck with the show. i had a media buzz, they suspend the most controversial host on es again. trump says it's a disgrace that journalists can write whatever they want. is that

in fact, three of them were in the room when the president talked about dramatically increasing the number of u.s. nukes. >> here's what the president tweeted. network has become so partisan , distorted and faked that license must be challenged and if appropriate, revoked. not fair to the public. >> it happens to be a fact that the fcc doesn't regulate national networks. only local. what you make of president trump going there? >> as we exhibited, on the show, just a few minutes ago, nbc and other networks are not above serious criticism, and sometimes bashing sometimes. >> does he have the right to go after any story you want. >> challenge the stories and go after their veracity, taking at the next step and talking about licensing and the sort of vague news threats about shutting down speech you don't like is off-base,

over-the-top and wrong. i would just point out, if you are agreeing with him now and you're conservative, we are called that when president obama's administration, this is a step further from trump and it's wrong. >> maybe he wasn't serious. if this is his way of venting when he gets mad, asked the media. >> he's the president of the united states of america. people listen to him and they believe him, even when he lies. when you hear the chanting, and that interview alone, you know how he feels about him and you know they think hillary clinton lied about everything and donald trump told the truth even though we know the facts don't bear that out. it's extremely dangerous. it's a very authoritarian, dictator talk, we've spoken about this million of times that he doesn't seem to have a strong connection of what the first amendment really means. >> that quote, it's

disgraceful that they can write whatever they want, while sometimes it is disgraceful what the press writes but it doesn't mean they don't have the right to do it. >> they do. it's the first amendment. but just venting is becoming a really big problem. some of the stories that have come out since have shown, we know that the three companies that own the broadcast network actually lost a little bit of value after he made that comment. the other thing i point out is that tom wheeler said that it could also be taken as supporters who could act on his behalf. in other words they could challenge the licenses of the network because of what trump is saying. >> let me just move on because i want to get to the iran situation. the washington report shows sources that he was livid he threw a fit with top advisers who told him he should accept the iran nuclear deal negotiated under obama. they came up with this plan where he decertified but didn't derail it. the press kind of hammer trump

about it. those kind of inside stories always are designed to make a present look bad. >> everyday, press hammers trump, they always do it, i think the balance of the administration has reached on this issue is a smart one, it's good and the president would be mad that his advisers are saying keep the deal but it's called the worst deal ever on the campaign trail. of course that would frustrate him. they seem to have found a middleground and an accommodation that applies more pressure on congress and the regime. >> it's okay for presidents to get mad sometimes. a lot of the stories portray him as a hothead. >> you tell me. >> whatever you think of the iran deal or anything else, he's had some insensitive meetings and things leaked to the press. >> absolute not but i've gone off to this a number of time. it's unprecedented and dangerous to our national security. everyone knows i have a lot of problem with president trump,

his policies and how he conducts himself but he is the president and we need to protect them in that way. i agreed with steve bannon in his interview with charlie rose where he said he disagreed with the president.

cohost of espn sports center called president trump a white supremacist and a bigot and then just said it was inappropriate but after the cowboys owner said he would bench any program that didn't stand for the anthem, he said stop watching and buying their merchandise and if you feel strongly, boycott his advertisers. espn suspended them saying

this with second violation. al sharpton was out there after hill got bench for two weeks saying boycott the cowboys, and he saying this is an outrage and they have every right to speak out. how is this racial? >> first off, i can't speak to that, but i can say the decision was a little bewildering. i know it's kind of popular to misrepresent people's points for popular gain, but that's not actually why. she did not say boycott the cowboys, she was talking to a larger point, a lot of people were criticizing.
