>> this was a rough night for michelle wolf.ce and everything else gets framed is we are on donald trump. >> you said it best. washington is focused on itself. tonight president trump was focussed on the people and i think he wins. >> it's comedy. if you support trump and the craziness he has done, you have no reason to fight about anything michelle did. >> there is time to do better next year and get a bipartisan comedian next year or singers. will there be a next year? >> the dinner is broken. i'm not sure this helps it continue in perpetuity. you have news outlets saying we have a president coming and cabinet people not coming. it needs to be reimagined in a way of what comedian they choose. perhaps find a way with journalism front and center and not put downs. >> i thought she was funny. she had fringe moments about the abortion jokes, but i thought she was funny. i won't criticize matt and his wife for walking out because that's as ridiculous as criticizing kneeling for peaceful protest. >> congratulations to michelle wolf

comedian michelle wolf. and music from jorja smith. and now, by all means, here's jimmy kimmel. ♪ hi, everyone. welcome to the show. [ cheers and applause ] all right. appreciate that. now it's too much. it was -- boy, oh, boy, you -- you relax over the weekend. think you can ease into the week. and then trump strikes again. it was a -- 25 exclamation point weekend for our president on twitter this weekend. thanks in large part to former fbi director jim comey. did you see the sitdown comey did with abc. one of the people was donald trump. comey's book, tell-all goes on sale tomorrow. last night he shared some of what we will read about his former boss. an historic interview if for no other reason. probably the first time former fbi director ever said anything like this. >> i don't know whether the current president of the united states was with prostitutes peeing on each other in moscow. i did not go into the business about people peeing on each other. how is there a 1% chance that you were with prostitutes peeing on each other in mos

let's play part of comedian michelle wolf. here's where she's roasting sarah huckabee sanders. >> i actually really like sarah. i think she's really resourceful. like she burns facts and uses that ash that create a perfect smokey eye. like maybe she's born with it. maybe it's lies. >> do you think, melanie, conventional wisdom wise, did michelle wolfe go too far at all here? >> look, i think whatever you think about sarah huckabee sanders, you have to give her credit for being able to sit there and take some of those attacks. >> i agree, yeah. >> i think some of them may have gone a little too far. maybe when it comes to her looks. i think there is a reference to her being a softball coach. the way it played in the room talking to people who were there last night, people felt uncomfortable, at the didn't like it, it didn't make them feel good. other people certainly can argue that she signed up for this, this is part of the game. everyone was attacked there. but at the end of the night this is supposed to be a celebration abou

guys, we heard michelle wolf call sara huckleby sander, and kellyanne conway a liar. what's that to you? >> it wasn't an exchange, the part of sara huckleby sander, remind you, one of the most difficult jobs is to sit and be on the receiving end of the brunt of the jokes. i think the best way to do is sort of laugh hardest is the way to get through it and that is not the approach she took. she seemed quite perturbed. i think we'll be hearing more about that from the podium in the white house in the weeks ahead. >> there she is, back to the cameras now talking to the folks up there. she look pretty shook up there. david. >> i think this thing is so easy if you're about butt of the joke. you can laugh hardest, that will be good or you can smile a little bit, that would work. it saysing this that not just sara sander or obama 2011 when made fun of it seems to be contagious and laugh at one's self or pretend to be in the joke. it's interesting to see that. >> baratunde, this was a separate bomb but we did hear laughter inside the room, you were taking notes, what do you t

we have michelle wolf this year in age where women's representation in everything in media is emerging take the stage. >> i was watching michelle as i was preparing for this, nice lady on hbo and she has a nice -- about feminist and what it means to her. what do you make of these comedians? they're really well established. >> yeah, people know of these people, they're not unknown. i think baratunde was right on. they're picking the right people at the right time. i think picking a bomb was a great opportunity and an important thing to do. it was something that when you have other thing that are also thinkless jobs like giving the response to the state of the union, a white guy was picked, no offense, i thought that was a missed opportunity that members of the press seem to be saddened about. >> i think also he spoke to dreamers in spanish when is not something that you need to do. david, what do you make of michelle wolf as this year's pick, is this someone you guys talk about funny or not? >> i think she's somebody people talk about because seizure seizure a comedian whose got a netfl

we're waiting to hear from michelle wolf.t's not like comedians have been there since calvin coolidge, though. >> it really began with mark russell in 1983. he did satire, washington satire. before that, it was frank sinatra and duke ellington, nat king cole. you can't beat duke ellington. ray charles, people like that. suddenly it became the comedians. now each keedian has to vie for who's the best, who bombs. there's always a lot of pressure. stephen colbert is seen as a high-water mark. don imus kind of shattered the mold of things when he mocked bill and hillary clinton right in front of them. and they ended up trying to get c-span to not rerun imus because they were so offended by it. >> you bring up colbert, that was a sering takedown. president bush sat tlo and took it. this president has chosen not to for the past two years. we'll see if he ever does come to one of these. what president has performed the best? meaning he has taken the roasting the best and he has the performed the best. >> without question, barack oba

you've soon teen the reaction t those comments and others by michelle wolf. dare i say there was a bit of sa sa santimony. >> i wonder if the people complaining were mad when george bush joked about weapons of mass destruction and involved in a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. k the vast majority of people laughed in the room. i was in the room. at least those not caught on camera. this hand-wringing ining nonset happens every year after the white house correspondents' dinner has become an event in and of itself. it doesn't make sense. they are hiring someone edgy. if you want an easy, simple comic who is not going to offend anyone, get wayne brady. if you keep getting people from the daily show, this is what happens. >> kevin, you weighed in on this after the event took place. your tweet -- it was uncomfortable sitting through the comedian's attacks but i can't imagine how it must have felt to be on the receiving end of those attacks. not jokes. highlight for me last night, hearing about the incredible scholarship winners and courageous war j

the question now is whether comedian michelle wolf went too far and maybe damaged the journalism profession. her performance is being called embarrassing and cringe-worthy but hilarious and epic. being cast as wildly inappropriate and others saying, hey, what's the big deal? she was very funny. it is clear the partisan warfare is under way. there are charges of liberal intolerance and conservative hypocrisy. of course, this is all coming at a moment of incredible tension between the press and the president. incredible distrust in the media. you have to ask if this performance made it worse. let's talk about it with four cnn analysts here. to talk through all of it, they were all at the dinner last night. "washington post" josh dossey, he will anna johnson, and margaret taleb, president of the white house correspondents' association. marking ye margaret, we start with you. there is so much theory about last night. do you have any regrets this morning? >> brian, i'll tell you this. first of all, it was a great honor to be able to preside over last night's dinner and to represent all of the jo

michelle wolf's argument is i was talking about her despicable behavior.omedy is supposed to be uncomfortable. maybe it's a good thing the people in the room were uncomfortable. >> there's more to talk about this but we will have on to rely on chris's twitter feed. >> it is is vibrant. speaking of vibrant, lebron james, performance fit for a king. if you watch these highlights, you see why they call him el rey. the "bleacher report" is next. "small business," m never owned a business. there's nothing small about it. are your hours small? what about your reputation, is that small? when you own your own thing, it's huge. your partnerships, even bigger. with dell small business technology advisors you'll get the one-on-one partnership you need to grow your business. because the only one who decides how big your business can be, is you. the dell vostro 15 laptop, with 7th gen intel® core™ processors. hesumatra reserve told in the time it takes to brew your cup. let's go to sumatra. where's sumatra? good question. this is win. and that's win's goat, adi. the co

>> that, of course, is where michelle wolf went over the line. many members of the media agree that wolf went too far. the president declined to attend for the second year in a row. he said the comedian bombed. the washington post media agrees. in the article "for the sake of journalism" stop the dinner. trusts -- trust in the ma mainstream media is low. president trump constantly pounds the news media as a bunch of out of touch elites. the optics of the dinner seem to back him up. that is spot-on given the dynamic of what happened saturday night. taking shots at press secretary sanders. that did not look good. >> he doesn't want to get made fun of. that is why he is not there. he likes praise. >> she went after the media. saying we're all a bunch of hip cra hipocr -- hypocrites. she was making fun of the room. >> let us know what you think on twitter @earlystart. >>> let's get a check of money. global stocks are higher. troub t-mobile plans to buy sprint. economic growth slowed in the first quarter. wages jumped at the fastest pace in 11 years. t

michelle wolf, the comedian, she'll be speaking. she'll be telling some jokes here as the night goes on. jane, i saw a line in a piece on "the daily beast" by senator john cornyn of texas that stood out. there was some reporting that the president might be considering naming john kelly, his current chief of staff, former secretary of the department of homeland security, to be the next secretary of the veterans administration. gabe sherman of "vanity fair" reporting that among others, i believe. john cornyn said, "let's hope that doesn't happen, then you're going to have two vacancies to fill." what do we know about who might be nominated for this position next as we watch the president of the white house correspondents association addressing those gathered in the ballroom in washington, d.c.? >> david, we know that members of the senate, republicans in the senate, basically have said to the president, you should really pick from people who have already been confirmed. that's why john kelly is probably looking pretty appealing right

michelle wolf's jokes were designed to divide opinion.nt will struggle to decide whether to attend next year. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come... we meet a thirteen year old boy who's just become one of the world's youngest professional gamers. this is bbc world news today. i'm tanya beckett. the latest headlines: the new us secretary of state, mike pompeo has expressed "deep concern" at what he called iran's ambition to dominate the middle east. south korea says kimjong—un has promised to invite the world to witness north korea closing its nuclear test site next month. australia is promising to spend 400 million us dollars to help restore and protect the great barrier reef. the world's largest reef system has been damaged by warming sea temperatures and pollution. phil mercer reports from sydney. the great barrier reef is australia's greatest natural treasure. but this world heritage listed wonderland is under siege. for two years running it was hit by major coral bleaching, which scienti

you saw other crump allies expressing disappointment in the perform answer saying michelle wolf went far. peter baker of "the new york times" saying, quote, unfortunately, i don't think we advanced the cause of journalism tonight. our colleague said he agreed with baker there was an embarrassment to the room that we should have the focus on journalism and not on comedy at the white house correspondents dinner. this is a tension that exists every year and exacerbated this year because i think our politics are poisonus because arguments on both sides that are so intense and michelle wolf was going right at that addressing the media's coverage of trump and the lies and deceit that comes out of the white house. i know some comedians did up for her after the performance and said you hired an edgy comedian so what were you expecting? i thought telling when wolf said to the crowd you should have done more research before you invited me to washington to do this. >> it's not as though carol costel costel costello. >> it's not as if kelly ann conway and sarah sanders didn't expect to be on the

. >>> and michelle wolf is under fire from the right and the left nt and his senior aides. did she go too far? we're going to hear from her, ahead. >>> avengers infinity war had the biggest opening at the box office ever. it took in $250 million in the u.s., $630 million worldwide, more than "star wars" "the force awakens." >> that's enough to pay each actor a dollar. >>> and bugs bunny turns 80 today. it's a thing, national bugs bunny day on this monday, april 30. >>> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> 80 years old. wow. >> looking amazing. as we do say good morning to you on this monday, we're going to start this half hour with a caravan of migrants at the doorsteps of the united states. nearly 200 men, women and children hoping for asylum from south america. >> they made that journey facing heavy criticism from president trump all the way. and as richard cantu reports for now, they're being forced to wait in mexico. >> reporter: after a month-long journey from honduras, el salvador and guatemala, hundreds have arrived at the us/mexico border. many walked to the

so comedian michelle wolf will take the stage. she is the headline performer tonight and the president will not be in the room for the roast. >> that was clear and political decision and his team. second year in the row skipping it. he said he is going to be with real america. the president spoke for 90 minutes surrounded by his biggest supporters. and this must go on. >> reporter's try to dress up and look nice, they can't stop for anything. >> stripes and checkers. >> he was so offended he threw his pen and left. >> to get watered down drinks. let's check with the white house correspondent and he is at the president's rally. he wrapped up 90 minutes of major headlines and a threat to a senator. >> hard to keep up. he kicked off the event saying he was invited to a different event in washington, d.c. not wo township and said he would prefer to be here among his supporters instead of being insulted by phoney people and having to smile about it. nancy pelosi, chuck smchumer an gary brown. and saying jon tester was throwing things o

so please welcome michelle wolf. [applause] michelle: this has been long.laughter] good evening, good evening. here we are at the white house correspondents'dinner. like a poor and star says when she is about to have sex with trump, let's get this over with. i'm going to skip the normal pleasantries. we are at a hilton, it is not nice. this is on c-span, no one watches that. trump is president, it is not ideal. the association, thank you for having me. the monk fish was fine. [laughter] and just a reminder to everyone, i am here to make jokes. i have no agenda. i am not trying to get anything accomplished. everyone that is here from congress, you should feel right at home. [laughter] before we get too far, a lot of you might not know who i am. i am 32 years old, which is an odd age, 10 years too young to host this event and 20 years too old for roy moore. a, he almost got elected. it was fun. [laughter] i never really thought i would be a comedian, but i did take an aptitude test in seventh grade and this is 100% true. it said my best profession was a clown

michelle wolf did not spare the media either.re's a flipside to this as much as donald trump is the object of our fixation, a lot of the ways he's also the product of our way of doing business. >> she pointed that out. the reason you provided him all this air time you helped create this. i have to say the fact that donald trump chose not to go to the dinner and instead he sent a woman, sarah huckabee sanders to take the brunt of all the jokes, everybody knew that it was going to get uncomfortable, he decided that he wasn't going to be put in that position and instead he deployed his yes woman. that speaks volumes to the administration and how they conduct himself and how they put these individuals continuously in vulnerable positions when he doesn't want to take -- >> that's true. here is that byte that we were just talking about, michelle wolf digging the media. >> you guys are obsessed with trump. did you used to date him, because you pretend like you hate him but i think you love him? i think what no one in this room wants to

president trump calls end to dinner over michelle wolf controversy. >> i'm not really sure to call sarah sanders, white women disappointing other women. heather: "fox & friends first" starts right now. ♪ ♪ heather: live shot of new york city on the monday morning for you, once again, thank you very much for joining us. hope you had a great weekend. i'm heather childers. it has been a very busy weekend as it has always been now. fox news alert, a showdown at the southern border, hundreds of my grants vowing to wait until their granted asylum after a month-long caravan from central america. the images really amazing, kelly wright as san diego border crossing reaches maximum capacity, kelly. kelly: good morning to you, by the way, drama continues to unfold along the u.s.-mÉxico border in san diego hoping to get into the u.s. but the u.s. officials say the border crossing is full, hundreds of central american migrants, many from guatemala are risking it all for a chance to seek asylum in the united states but after long journey by foot or by train defined themselves stuck at u.s.-mÉxico bord

. >> not everyone was laughing as comedian michelle wolf roasted the white house correspondence dinner up, did her digs at the president and her staff go a bit too far. the readiest. >>> mike pompeo is on his first overseas trip as secretary of state. he landed in jordan a short time ago after a series of meetings in saudi arabia and israel. pompeo held a press conference with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu where they discussed iran's role in the middle east. >> many of our conversations today, mr. prime minister, centered on iran, strong cooperation with close allies like you is critical to our efforts for destabilizing military activity throughout the middle east and indeed throughout the world. we remain concerned about iran's threats to israel and the region and iran's dominating the middle east remains. >> part of the purpose of this trip was that it was done so quickly. the diplomatic message of how close the ties are between the u.s. and israel. he made this trip before he even stepped into his own office, so that was very much a message, especially when former secret

>> i don't think that they should apologize for having michelle wolf, because she spoke the truth.nful truth, but she did her job, she's a comedian. often in repressive societies, comedy is a way to deliver those truths in a way that resonates. i think we see that resonating right now. >> michelle wolf was there to do a job and she did the job. if they didn't like her flavor of humor -- >> it was about secret. >> they shouldn't have chosen her. but she went there to do a job and did it. >> thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >>> i think that's it for us. >> it is. >> thanks for watching this hour. i'll see you back here at 3:00 eastern. >> check us out on social media. right now we hand you off to andrea mitchell for "andrea mitchell reports." >>> right now on "andrea mitchell reports," locked out. more than 100 migrants from central america stuck at the border after president trump vows to keep them out. >> catherine and her 1-year-old daughter, ashley, are waiting to turn themselves in at the point of entry. she said gangs in honduras have threatened to kill her and she can't go

i don't think michelle wolf was country. half of the country thought she was hilarious.nk she's a reflection of our divisions, not the cause of it. my regret is that that events and the furor over what she said and takes away from the dinner and what it's about, which is 50 journalists dieing in the line of duty last year and ten more this morning as we're sitting here in kabul. 250 in jail. this is supposed to be an evening honoring journalists and it turned into a furor. >> the white house correspondent's association has denounced her monologue. shouldn't they have known who it was they were hiring to do the work? >> too little, too late, jon. there's talks of her on comedy central. they knew what they were getting. i'm wondering what the white house correspondent's association that they were thinking. comedy central is overwhelmingly anti-trump. so of course you get what you got. so i'm not going to blake michelle wolf. i'm going to blame the people that chose here. a second tier comedian was exploiting that stage to advance her career. now she appealed to half the co

>> i think if you look at what happened last night, michelle wolf's monologue was not designed to winr the room and a lot of people in the room were upset about it. but you have to put it in context. this is a president who literally said that he couldn't have sexually assaulted women because they were too ugly. he said this at a campaign rally. and so the fact that michelle wolf made fun of sarah sanders and mentioned her eye makeup, to me i feel if you work for a president like that, you don't deserve that kind of respect and michelle wolf clearly felt the same way. >> do you think when people from administrations and elected officials come to these events, particularly this one event, the white house correspondents' dinner, they come knowing that they may have a target on them. >> absolutely. i mean the person who should have been there taking a joke was the president of the united states. instead, he sent his staff. but he was too chicken to show up. so his staff got made fun of. i think that it is totally understandable that a comedian, particularly a comedian like michelle wolf,

comedian michelle wolf under fire for her performance at the white house correspondents dinner including a showdown with sarah huckabee sanders. did she go too far and encouraging new comments from kim jong-un ahead of an summit with president trump. is he toying with president trump's expectations? a look at all of that come up. >>> first in, a stark pivot, the president now acknowledging russia is trying to sow discord in the united states. >> have you heard about the lawyer? for a yore a woman lawyer, she was like oh, i know nothing. now all of a sudden she supposedly is involved with government. you know why? if she did that, because putin and the group said this trump is killing us. why don't you say that you're involved with government so that we can go and make their life in the united states even more chaotic. >> so the president is referring to this woman here, russian lawy lawyer that was part of the infamous trump tower meeting. she revealed she's both a lawyer and, quote, an informant. nbc news obtained e-mails between her and russian government officials showing that she had

i'm excited because comedienne michelle wolf will host, she's freaking hilarious.can we expect in the next few hours? >> one thing we've seen, john, several members of the cabinet, of the administration, coming out in full force, from kellyanne conway to white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, gary cohn. we asked them how come they came this second year when last year many of them did not show up? they said they were actually encouraged to come by president trump, even though he is obviously not in attendance tonight, he's at that rally in michigan. but they all seem very supportive of the evening. >> the other thing that was odd in this sort of fever dream that is the white house correspondents' dinner arrivals, michael avenatti was here, stormy daniels's attorney. i asked him, do you think you'll be joked about in the routine tonight by michelle wolf? he said it's possible. i mean, anything is possible when you've got avenatti standing next to kellyanne conway, standing next to the press secretary. he also says there is a natural tension. everyone lik

michelle wolf won't be getting any invite to the white house anytime soon. was it those about members of the president's inner circle that did not sit so well with some? here we go, everybody. >> is this better than that phony washington white house correspondents dinner? is this more fun? >> here we are, the white house correspondents dinner, like a porn start says when she's about to have sex with a trump, let's get this over with. >> these people hate your guts, shot, and then i'm supposed to sit there and -- you know, you gotta smile. >> you guys are obsessed with trump? did you used to date him? we should talk about the women in the trump administration, kenny anne conway. she has the perfect last name -- conway. i'm not ever sure what to call sarah huckabee sanders. you helped create this monster and now you're profiting off of him, and if you're going to -- >>> oh so much to talk about and as we just saw, her performance which included jokes at the expense of president trump, his press secretary, and other advisers drawing some mixed reactions to say

here they have gone with michelle wolf who everybody knows what kind of comedian she is. >> we need to stop for a moment. really this is good. this is a good strategy. >> they are very grateful for this moment. >> somewhere all three of them are very happy. so is there room for criticism of how the dinner is and the weekend? who cares about that? that doesn't matter to american people. is there room for criticism of the comedian? absolutely. she was not there to spread warm and fuzzy. there will be people who say she was too mean to sarah sanders and that's fine. here is the larger point. for people to say i'm outraged because i'm a conservative and you guys were offensive to me and it was mean and i didn't like it but not have the same reactions to things that the president of the united states says on a regular basis, literally just said that they hate you, the media. those are conservative principles, too. they always were, how people treat their families and treat people in their romantic lives. this is all situational ethics. we see that all the time. i think when people get too o

it wasn't michelle wolf's fault.e to do what she came to do. >>> this week's before the bell here's christine romans. >> hi, a busy week of company news this week. quarterly earnings have been phenomenal and the big question, can it last? now earnings season began with huge profits for the nation's big banks and caterpillar and 3m reported big outlooks, apple and tesla and watch snap. it's the parent company of snapchat, the stock tanked last week after it launched a redesign of the redesign of its app. its still trading below its ipo price. investors worry snap will not be profitable enough to live up to the hype. we'll get a good read on the strength of the economy this week. reports on consumer spending, trade, construction and manufacturing and the monthly jobs report on friday. if that all weren't enough the federal reserve starts a two-day policy meeting on tuesday. now don't expect a rate hike. investors think the next one will come after the june meeting, but any hint from the fed about the future pace of int

the highlight of the night was comedian michelle wolf, she roasted hillary clinton members of the media and president trump. >> mr. president, i don't think you're very rich. like i think you might be rich in idaho but in new york you're doing fine. >> michelle wolf is a former writer for the seth myers show. >>> where was the president? he was in michigan in fact for a campaign style rally. he touched on many topics including ousting democrats out of office and talks about building the border wall he has been calling for. >> but we have to have borders and we have to have them fast and we need security. we need the wall. we're going to have it all and again, that wall has started. >> yesterday the president tweeted about an upcoming meetinging with jkim jong-un. the white house says the location has been narrowed down to two countries, those countries though have not been announced. >>> reporting for duty, 200 national guard members headed to the california border with mexico, officially started their training this weekend. the guard members showed up at camp roberts yesterday about 40

there was a lot of celebration and the first amendment, the importance of journalism and michelle wolf took the stage. that's when things got a little iffy. about midway through her routine it got a little personal. she was sitting at the main table a few feet away from wolf. >> i actually really liked sarah. i think she's very resourceful. she burns facts and uses that to create a perfect smokey eye. maybe she's born with it. maybe it's lies. it's probably lies. >> one topic she didn't avoid was the controversial with stormy daniels and the president and headlines. she said if we wanted her to be quiet she might saep similar payment. >> i am a woman so you cannot shut me up unless you have michael cohen wire me $130,000. >> all in all i have to say towards the end of the jokes we watched the rooms go quiet. we watched people's faces get stone faced. i'm talking about journalists who also felt some what unft. worth can believe that she might have gone a tad to far from sarah sanders and she made jokes about ivanka trump. the reviews may come out a little earlier than previous years. >>

michelle wolf, comedian making fun of sarah huckabee sanders looks.. not exactly a compliment. what do you think? >> i have been fighting the misogyny of the left for 25 years and it is finally erupted for people that -- they can see it. it is so transparent. dripping from people in hollywood. and journalists and i have to say it's a complete disgrace that there wasn't a single person on the day as. that interrupted that woman as filth was coming out of her mouth. i cannot tell you how proud i was to be a conservative woman to see the dignity with which sarah sanders bore those slings and arrows. i have faced it. so many people have faced. it's time for the left to reckon with it. ainsley: i watched sarah huckabee sanders. as a woman i would be having to fight back as a man or a woman. when someone is attacking your appearance and doing the best you can as a working mother. i'm surprised she didn't get up. i'm surprised she didn't cry. i don't know if i would have been able to be that strong. let's hear it if you missed it. >> i have to say i'm a litt

>> i think president trump is a winner and michelle wolf is a winner.t month, getting a lot of attention for it. president trump is calling this dinner embarrassing, playing into that and telling his base this is evidence of what he's been saying for 15 months. ever since running for office. the president over the weekend at his rally said they hate your guts. presumably talking about the media saying they hate your guts to the voters. he's pointing at this rally as evidence of that. >> here's the thing, michelle wolf is not a journalist. she's a comedian. however, she was invited by a big important group of journalists, the white house correspondents association. >> now debate going on within the association about whether to have comedians at all. i spoke to the next president of the association who takes over in july, he said we'll have a wide ranging discussion about what to do in the future. >> to what extent do they need to own this? >> i think this is symptomatic of a broader issue involving the press and the president. this president has declared

the highlight of the night was comedienne michelle wolf. she roasted hillary clinton, members of the media, and the president. >> mr. president, i don't think you're very rich. like i think you might be rich in idaho. but in new york you're doing fine. >> michelle wolf is a former writer for "the seth meyers show." where was the president? michigan, for a campaign-style rally. he touched on many topics, including asking the crowd to vote democrats, including nancy pelosi, out of office. he also talked about building the border wall he has been calling for. >> but we have to have borders. and we have to have them fast. and we need security. we need the wall. we're going to have it all. and again, that wall has started. >> earlier today the president tweeted about an upcoming meeting with soakn leader kim jong-un. he says a time and location for the meeting are now being set. the white house says the location has been narrowed down to two countries, but those countries have not been announced. >>> reporting for duty. 200 national guard member

now michelle wolf will because i think it was a big night for michelle wolf and she spoke -- i talked to a lot of people the next day not involved in politics and they were saying did you see this joke. they were coming up showing me michelle wolf on youtube. yeah, that's pretty funny. again, david, it's all time, place, manner. by the way -- >> i would love to hear what david thinks. >> david, it's not the comedians job to change her act. >> nope. >> as she said in the middle of her speech, i guess i didn't do much research. here you have journalists not doing much research on michelle wolf. >> maybe they did. >> and what she does. but the part that was the most jarring for me and why they really need to stop bringing comedians in was the part where she did -- again, she's doing her job. her job is to be edgy. >> make us think. >> when she said how poosh r is donald trump is so poor. you have the scene where the journalists were answering pow poor is he, basically taking part in a bit that was intended primarily to humiliate donald trump. i just -- none of us here think that believe

that was a reference to michelle wolf.his from another viewer saying i do not trust him that pretend to be news and are more propaganda advocates. fox is clearly a political tool. they go to georgia. caller: how are you today? but i thinkuestion, there is a diversity of media. they are all different. you cannot just say "do you trust the media?" i trust some of the media, and some of it i take with a grain of salt. i think what i find most offensive about the media is ver with diverse opinions are attacked by the host of the show. on fox news the other day, one reporters,tars, news whatever you want to call them, was interviewing a man. she would ask a question. he would try to answer. every time he did, she yelled over him. i do not respect that sort of behavior. by a newsperson. -- athink the media has least part of the media, in this case fox media is probably as guilty as any, maybe more so than most, a fueling a strict -- hatred and anger and fear against what they call the mainstream media. but there is no such thing

it must be said michelle wolf is getting a lot of support online. the australian pop culture website noted sarcastically that u.s. politicians are upset because a comedian made mean jokes about them, so shed a tear for them. that is kind of the opinion from "junkie." one writer suggests it is time to scrap the white house correspondents dinner event. the writer argues it has never been a good idea for journalists to cozy up to the people they are supposedly meant to be objectively covering. right now, particularly, it is "close to suicidal" for the press's credibility. genie: strong words. an emergency evacuation took race in melbourne over what was thought to be a gas leak, but was not. toepthika: 500 students had be evacuated from the library of the university in melbourne. the washington post reports that initially they thought it was due to a suspected gas leak. it turned out to be the rotting odor of the world's smelliest fruit. an.asis the picture, duri a fresh fruit, it's odor is likened to rotting trash or gym socks. you can only imagine how

michelle wolf was vile and nasty and it was an embarrassment. the president is right about that.barrassment to the white house correspondents association and the media in general. you have the president railing against the media. the geniuses who thought to book an anti-trump comedian and dropping f bombs are refusing to apologize as a statement it's unfortunate, her tone didn't match the spirit of unity. that won't cut it. >> bill: some are suggesting there is hypocrisy. this is a night about the first amendment. where does the hypocrisy play in? >> the dinner has gotten away from celebrating journalism and raising money for scholarships. the people who don't like this president are always railing and talking online about his insults when he calls people morons, psych owes, idiots, sick, those people say michelle wolf was just telling the truth despite the fact she was telling jokes about ivanka in tap pons and kellyanne conway should be hit by a tree. nasty stuff. on the other side you have the people who love president trump going ballistic about what a comedian did at a roast

in the case of michelle wolf, she didn't do either.jokes fell flat even among a lot of the journalists in the room. politically speaking this is exactly what plays the trump aired. when he says the media is unfair or they're invited comedian that's just out to get him. this is what she provided. we have a lot of partisanship. a lot of polarization in the country right now. this is a reflection of that. but like you said it doesn't really bring the country together. it is the whole point of the white house correspondents dinner. molly: just quickly, not wasting time in the president's party, not being complacent, even feeling he could be impeached talking about maxine waters where she goes around, we will impeach him. he wants to keep the house in the senate. is this about getting work done essentially? >> trump is doing the only way to hold the house for the up coming election to his base. i would expect president trump in republican candidates on the ballot this year to start raising the prospect if democrats want to impeach the presi

that said, i do think at times michelle wolf crossed the line. hard-hitting political satire is i think perfectly legitimate. personal attacks on the president's staff i think could be left aside. i have no problem attacking or making fun of the press secretary for her performance. but her personal characteristics, i think it does represent a new low. but, hey, we're in a period of lows. and so i'm not surprised. >> oh, we most certainly are. james davis, thank you so much for your responses. appreciated. >> thanks, rosemary. >>> well, it seems the mystery over a missing tree at the white house has been solved. when the french president emmanuel macron visited president trump in washington last week, they planted a young oak tree which came from are the site of world war i battle in france. but soon after that tree disappeared. >> and that's when the mystery ensued. but french official now tells reuters not to worry. the tree was simply quarantined to make sure no parasites would spread, and the oak will return to the white house gardens very soo

saying overnight, that saturday's program was, quote, meant to offer a unifying message and that michelle wolf's routine was not in the spirit of that mission. wolf went after the president and his cabinet. she went after democrats. and she also went after the media. but she played particular attention to the women within the trump administration. and here's some of what she said when it came to white house press secretary sarah sanders. >> we are graced with sarah's presence tonight. i have to say, i'm a little star struck. i love you as aunt lydia in the hand maid's tale. i like sarah, i think she's resourceful. she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. like maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies. >> oh, boy, really awkward, right? and here she was taking on ivanka trump's role in the administration. >> there's also, of course, ivanka. she was supposed to be an advocate for women, but it turns out she's about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons. >> awkward. and for good measure went after the president's health -- wealth, i should say. >> i'm goin

i was struck last night that after some criticism o michelle wolf, there was outpouring on twitter about oh i see, you're l crit is sizing thee cdian. now call me mad cap but i haven't exactly seen a lack of criticism aimed at drumpled form t things he's said and done and on the other hand, you have supporters of trump ridiculing this comedian while at the same time being perfectly coent with the language th president of the united states has used, calling him opponents everything from crooks to dumb to i can't even go through all the st. but the general theme i'm getting at here is it's almost impossible to have a debate about issues where people cross over not nestles echoing whatever line their side is pumping for day, we seem to be beyond that for the moment. >> thompson: all right jeff greenfield, thank yo always for being here. >> thompson: find out how five first-time female candidates are preparing for their primary races. visit pbs.org/newshour. >> thompn: if you filed your income taxes at the last minute this year, you no doubt know that the i.r.s. paymene crashed. you got an e

he held a rally in michigan and given all the reactions that we've seen to michelle wolf, what do wepex ectothe president to do? are we going to see him skip it next year? do we see the rhetoric going against reporters in the upcoming weeks and months? >> we'll see if he's going to make a big peace with the media and showing up one of these years. i -- it will be interesting to see what happens with the other white house staff. of course there is the very brutal comedy at sarah sanders' expense and now that it was not in keeping with the theme of the night. these kind of things happen at these large dinners with comedians. there is precedence for the response and the tradition continues. i imagine that will be the case here. >> i was surprised the president has not come out and tweeted in defense of sarah sanders. >> so as we know, steve, sort of the house intel committee releasing their findings saying there was no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the russia campaign. and in spite of what the findings were the democrats are going to continue their investigation to i

did michelle wolf deliver low blows or did she hit it right on target?> just a reminder to everyone, i'm here to make jokes. i have no agenda. i'm not trying to get anything accomplished. so everyone that is here from congress, you should feel right at home. brad's been looking forward to this all week, but how will his denture cope with... a steak. luckily for brad, this isn't a worry because he's discovered super poligrip. it holds his denture tight and helps give him 65% more chewing power. leaving brad to dig in and enjoy the tastiest of t-bones. super poligrip, helping you enjoy the foods you love. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio

this year's entertainer is comedian michel wolf, a former contributor for the daily show. we will have live coverage of the event when it gets underway at 930 p.m. eastern here on c-span. for the second year in a row, president trump has declined to attend this year's dinner. on friday, he met with winners of the 2018 what has correspondents association scholarship. here is a look.

well it was the first time for me to watch michele wolf lie and so the for thing i thought was well what's going on with her voice and then i thought that she clearly didn't pull her punches so some of it's was really funny for example when she talked about us in the media being obsessed with donald strum and some instances she seems to have crossed a line for a number of people when she attacked members of the trump administration and her in your face or when she joked about abortion and that's made some people cringe and you could hear alone groans from some temple but i have to say that she is a comedienne that likes to cross lines and she joked of both that as well when you could hear for sounds of disapproval in the ballroom she said that you know you should have done more research when you go through before that and i thought it was funny as well you're the good boy we know what the u.s. president thinks this is what dropped we did earlier today the white house correspondents dinner is dead as we know it was a total disaster and embarrassment to our great country you know what it sta
