day and a grate week. we'll see you next week on "fox news sunday." ♪ attorney general and conduct. trump and executive and the mueller report. political combat. >> he's running another con. on our entire system of government. whether he can roll the country, the family used to roll with. he's engaging on ongoing cover by defining the return. >> there's no good one every here on behalf of democrats. it's not about undermining attorney general barr, of the russia investigation or he has a dover back rates accommodate them. none of it matters.
12:01 am
it's all choreography. >> constitutional pushing for impeachment. the new york times reveals a huge amount of money for massacre tech write-off. >> you ask how he got it. that is a matter. publishing other people's stuff is what the times is all about. who cares if it was weak or stolen. >> because people's losers. he was literally the biggest loser in the country. >> here we have evidence that trump is a fraud. evidence that he's a fraud. it doesn't matter. we all know it. >> you're like wow, impressive. all the things he's done in his life.
12:02 am
>> on story, otherwise nobody would have guessed. the trump had financial problems in the early 90s. for people who were alive then or internet access now. >> is it justified in the legal deductions? big democrat socialist because that's what their voters want. a social research on what's behind the coverage of socialism over capitalism. what democrats want to come on fox as amy did this week. specialized media training about how to do that. will talk to the congresswoman. this is media plus. >> for the house judiciary panel
12:03 am
order, attorney general bill barr in contempt of congress. was nominally about his refusal to provide the unredacted mueller report but as automakers show, it was clear the real issue as trump. >> you have to descend our constitutional form of government, they will to strike bill part because they don't want an attorney general who does his job. >> gayle, guest. gillian turner, security official. and page, columnist. the media is embracing the house democrats said, these battles are a flow full-blown constitutional crisis. >> for sure, they are picking up the left-wing talking point. it's silly to define a crisis that way. you have few branches that are in conflict, now that congress
12:04 am
not getting information they want. they can appeal to a court. if you are two branches of government being charted by a third prince, that might rise to a level of constitutional crisis but certainly, it's part of our federal system. >> you are saying it's premature? >> absolutely. >> house democrats gillian are signing him for contempt. seven years ago, against holder for turning over documents. nothing happened. i don't recall the meaty treating that early episode as a crisis. >> they didn't. the problem here is that the media seems to be echoing congressional democrats. basically says that the democrats i think his two different roles. one rule for republicans attorney general and another set of rules for democrat president obama's attorney general. that's like the media has picked up in the case and indicating
12:05 am
uncritically. when gayle and others talk about premature to call this constitutional crisis, that's what everybody is getting at. >> more - storyline for the press to do that, clients page, there's one thing, no dispute. as an important constitutional i take oversight separation and personal that. they can only go so far beyond and turning it into a political crisis, if not constitutional. >> it's a big store in washington. the fact is, we've had people exciting over either accusing or otherwise speculating the crisis ever since trump came into office and tried to get his muslim panther. the court stopped it. as long as the court still works. >> it was not a muslim fan. i have to jump in. >> restricting immigration from
12:06 am
countries predominately muslim. >> trump said he wanted a muslim fan. he changed the language but he learned is unconstitutional. >> we've been at that. >> right now, you see democrats talking about institutional classes. i think they come from first gear and -- >> what about the coverage of impeachment? anti- pelosi says self impeaching, i blocking all these demands. >> specially the opinion to see them on embassy bc, the impeachment? >> that's what we have seen for two plus years in the mueller report. it would lead to the impeachment or commit conviction of trump closed in.
12:07 am
it's all related to the 2020. anti- pelosi was trying to hold back on impeachment talk and because you have 20 plus democratic presidential contenders now saying impeach, impeach, pelosi is feeling pressure from advocates of those candidates that she needs to be out there promoting that, too. >> everyone saying impeach but pelosi, the press knows she does not want to go down that road. she needs bipartisan support. we saw it acquitted. how should journalists cover tougher frederick by the democrats? real or posturing? >> i haven't heard those complains. getting a media audience, that's what we have here. you got this to break. >> it's a time of elizabeth on once, the fund-raising. trump is using the whole fund-raising.
12:08 am
this is the way it works. trump violates norms and they know about. this is constitutional crisis or commit. he violates more of the constitution. trump is everything in public. most of the media seems intent on settling the score. their intent that he won the first round of the mueller report. he got the no collusion line. that's all he needed to run fourth. somehow they can continue down the road whether it's the narrative surrounding impeachment whether it's bill barr not being transparent, a political hack. they can get the second round to organs and kind of minute. >> this getting that on the record. let me play you, talking about mueller. since the report was issued.
12:09 am
>> bob mueller is no friend of mine. we had a business dispute. we had somebody that is in love with james comey. they were very good friends. supposedly best fence. >> my view, they don't want to come off that narrative because it's good for business. every time president tweet talks about mueller, he's fueling the story as well. >> of course. that's because he got no collusion he wanted. >> why not victory and move on? he wants to keep talking about it. >> something is the six separate investigations going on since the campaign. this, the only ond of dragging at the headline. it's still an unfolding developing story. >> the investigations as well.
12:10 am
>> right. this has to do with the senate intel committee under republican chairman practically issued a subpoena of trump junior, bringing back and talk about test money of the infamous trump tower meeting during the campaign. his what he had to say. >> my son is a good person. my son testified for hours and hours. my son was totally exonerated right mueller. who frankly does not like trump. me, this donald trump. >> the dire headlines about this, i think it may have played down or ignored the fact the president son voluntarily more than once. >> if you look at the history of the trump administration, there's been broad information sharing in furtherance of mueller and his team, a lot of partisan democrats rehired for the team.
12:11 am
has been broad information sharing and it's a house after think about why the senate intelligence committee is subpoenaing trump junior so i think the coverage is ahead scratcher, too because people don't know what to make of it. >> source tells me there's no way they will comply with the subpoena. he would just be made a piñata. there are a lot of pendants. they were on the air and said predicted trump junior would be and it didn't happen. now the press seems to love this as a story. dragging back into the ministration. >> the media from the get-go has fairly and rightly perceived trump junior made himself a political player. in his father's campaign and administration. he put himself in the uniform. because of that, the media decided he should not be afforded that. he's not afforded the protection
12:12 am
and the communities the presidential children are usually afforded. >> on the richard burr thing, he tweeted from a person close to don junior, so-called republican senator, on the committee. that's working the press. >> somebody saying on behalf of don junior, this is a stunt by richard. is he really republican? >> that's why we have had hearings. they have the power to investigate. you want to keep the report a life in the trumps no collusion, no objection. that part is not correct. this is why you have hearings. i think that there may be feeling that push for impeachment.

pay no taxes and eight of the ten years. president tweeted that real estate developers were entitled to write-offs and depreciation, you always want to show losses for tax purposes in almost all real estate developers did this and renegotiating it was sport. then he added, the very old information is highly inaccura inaccurate. gil, revealing as long as three decades ago, he lost money and didn't have to pay taxes. >> this is extreme. the white whale up session of the mainstream media. if you look at this report by the new york times, it's old information. they put in some different details that were the basis of illegal wheat. >> it's fine to say and challenge the story but can inches? >> this is information that if you had paid attention in 2004 when trump launched the apprentice, he talked about how
12:18 am
much money he lost. he also talked about 1991 in a deer of his financial troubles, that was supposedly the new information in the new york times, exact same here. >> he also wrote a book. the art of a comeback. he said above depreciation one of the debates with hillary clinton. i was at times retreated? >> the details, we have known all along. >> i remember the debates when he passed, duchess. >> he avoids it. >> it's illegal. i don't know why i've not heard more. more from bernie sanders and others, normally against this. less taxes than i did. >> a million or by the way.
12:19 am
>> in the presidents tweet, he said book, i did it. everybody did it. it's perfectly legal. then he calls the time story inaccurate and says how can be true? >> and a very trump way, both things are true. the first part of the tweet and new york times revelation, the president supporters who have embraced his spirit of you're going to short the system, get as much out of these people, these elites as we can. they love that. the idea that you would get as many write-offs as possible and that would be a sport, it's something they love. at the same time, he disagrees with the way the new york times is reporting as a bombshell. that's the part that's fake news. >> these are not the actual tax returns but they are irs scripts. most all know journalism, whether this week would be a
12:20 am
massive invasion of privacy. >> i tweeted about that. the coverage says they got the information from someone who had access to the information. i think it's misleading because they may have had access to the information for certain purposes. they did not have legal access to the information to give to your time. >> he ran on his record as a successful businessman and it got him elected. >> the winner of the legitimate, we are talking about the president. he has no privacy. he's perfectly free to see her sue the new york times. it's even more like his current tax returns. he gets out of it when he usually does talking his way out. >> it would not have been leaked if he released tax returns. >> every major candidate has that. let me put out for fun, this

12:26 am
most of the british has not at all fallen in line. he looked at her as a transgression from the start. >> she is very different. covered them say no a lot more about tonight. with the baby have kinky hair? she goes on to say meghan celebrated all sides of her back rent. as far as we know, it's a first biracial baby in the history of that family as far as we know. >> embraced or permitted. >> is a story that hasn't become their own story. >> unfortunately, my personal take here is that it's perfectly legitimate for the media to ask questions about what the baby might look like. just like they would any other member. >> you do or not? >> what look like the mother or father? is nothing inherently racist about asking those questions. i think the degree to which people have been asking pointed
12:27 am
racial questions with equity, basically the idea in mind that they would love it if this could offend the queen or persons ability, that borders on being racist. >> to me, name, archie sound like i'm american rain name. prince harry said they would skip the official appearance with the baby. i guess they changed their mind. >> the underlying story here is really about the british press relationship with prince harry. they are very upset with him over the last few years. they feel that somebody who grew up in the public spotlight, and braced the british press. befriended them, he went to the pub and had drinks with them. in the last few years, whether it's because of meghan or not, they receive he's turned against them. he's been excluding them. they are very upset. >> keep in mind, prince harry lost his mother. great to see you.

12:32 am
citations against president trump the impeachment article withholding watergate tapes there is efforts to treat this as weight gait. >> a huge effort to relive wat investigator i think watergate major turning point what i am saying about it is that it was the most glorious time to be a journalist in two young able "washington post" reporters did the reporting that brought down a president, never been anything like it before, and he movies were made books written hero status never before conferred on journalists occurred. and i think that is what brought a lot of young the people into journalism so along comes this character donald trump most exotic character ever seen in white house a man trying to design somebody media would not like you could will heared do better than donald trump paralyze sooutdz to be hating by media, and, they are continuously or not pursuing

12:34 am
that is 448 pages, so nothing of -- i mean no evidence anything really of substance that would make a difference in the conclusions of the report being about withhold what is more, the complaining congressman have opportunity to go down to justice department read nearly all of it, none has done so -- >> "new york times" reporting rudy giuliani was going to ukraine today, to urge investigation into vice president biden when he was v.p. pressuring firing of the top prosecutor in that country, prosecutor had been looking into energy giant on whose bored sat jerry brown's son hunter biden "new york times" says would be remarkable for a presidential lawyer to press a foreigner government to pursue investigation could it help trump's reelection pain, rudy to his credit discussed on the record with "new york times" a backlash he then told others on canceling the trip is this the case of the presss exposing something that turned out embarrassing to the president's lawyer. >> maybe. i mean --
12:35 am
>> the press didn't have to do much composing, the trip no secret. and the reason behind it perhaps the reason behind it well the reason, behind it was we know that biden, in 2017 went to ukraine, had bundled of money in former loan guarantees to give to that government as a condition -- >> of -- >> yeah. >> i'm sorry 2016 excuse me, and -- and he said you are not getting the money unless you fire that prosecutor. >> the prosecutor at the time was investigating among other things, a company with when his son beau biden was affiliated, well, look i am not sure that it was a good reason or bad reason to do that. but biden was the last person to have been sent on that errand clear conflict of interest should never have done it bragging about it videotape he is bragging about it he felt being set up blamed react democrats but reacting to, no times story didn't look

12:43 am
capitalism they think wall street profits people losing jobs, economic freedom is main street small business, why we are so successful as a country, has been so deemized, the rich the successful have been demonized the assumption if you made money you did so in improper way. >> 25% trump voters say seem make big profit can't be justified you are basically saying in this report, you say, capitalism is dead at least as term people respond to, that is pretty strong statement. >> i am going to get chewed up by rush limbaugh for the wrong reasons not that principals are dead in fact, the principles of economic freedom alive and well capitalism has been so demonized by media just don't you function as economic system, and if you want to oppose socialism you o supposed to talking about freedom not capitalism. >> it must be more than just media coverage when you have as i mentioned the top half of trump voters, supporting aoc

12:56 am
pressure something that we have to -- defend every single day, that we have to fight for. and i think that the president himself in refusing to allow people to come and testify is harming him. so i believe that we've got to continue to do oversight it is a very important responsibility you are seeing our committee chairs do that. but, i -- i agree with nancy pelosi that a partisan intree. would be a dangerous thing i am hearing republicans now getting you know, richard burr is doing a subpoena, that is what we need. >> okay, we are. >> debbie dingell thanks for joining us happy mother's day. >> that is it for this edition of immediate buzz i am howard kurtz happy mother's day at the celebrating check out podcast media buzz meteorite, apple itunes going play foxnews.com,i post daily columns original videos make
