about in these people aren't even acknowledged exactly i mean a little like this in 2017 new york new york times magazine investigation of nearly 150 u.s. led coalition airstrikes targeting isis in just iraq just iraq they found that one in 5 of the coalition strikes resulted in civilian deaths that was a rate that was 30 times more than what was acknowledged by the coalition now that's a big discrepancy and i understand why this report was put together because it's like when you see discrepancies like that that's not like clerical errors that you know where you got 31 times it's just the new york times that's a big. absolutely a and in this case i would even call that a discrepancy like there are certain things or just flat out lies and i think that when you have a number that is that large and so different from what was originally reported it showcases a few things one lack of honesty and integrity in the reporting process but also it raises the ire of the fact that you're trying to hide something because any time when the count is so much larger i think that it's owes us something about what

onhese developments, i spoke to julian barnes, national security reporter for ""the new yo ""the new york times" -- "the new yorkes" and is been told that officials are telling rsnator san that they are interfering so what does this say?" >> we have confirmed reports that bere sandeot an intelligence briefing that russians were trying to help his campaign and we reported yesterday that the intelligence officials briefed congress last week that the russians were, again, trying to interfere and that included not just in the 2020 general election but also the democratic primaries. now, why they are interfering on it could be that this is part of the effort to hurt -- to help president trump. some intelligence officials bernie sanders would be a weaker democratic candidate. and so an eff to assist mr. sanders might be a back door to help mr. trump. laura: so ts could be all related to your reporting that there is an effort by the ssians to help president trump in some way. do you have any o information about what they're trying to do? julian: well, look, we know that what they're doing is in part whathey did in 2016

time the new yorker has tried to bring charges against harvey weinstein. what made it possible in the intervening years? the first time new york? 0r the intervening years? the first time new yorknow, new york. i cannot speak exactly what happened in the previous case. there was an incident in 2015 with mrs gutierrez, who basically was assaulted by weinstein, and she agreed to wear a wire the next day and record him. and ultimately, it's up for debate what exactly happened, but cyrus vance chose not to press charges. the audio tape she was able to record on behalf of the nypd proved to be vital, i think, in the story getting out that which we came across that audio in 2017 and it was kind of the backbone of our reporting. one of the first people you interviewed was rose macgowan. she took a lot of criticism from within the film industry when she brought this allegation. you think the film industry was on trial yesterday? do you think there has been a change there? do you thing there's been a change in our game, in the news and media industry as well? those are good questions. i am not sure. i know there have been sweeping changes in the hr industries, in the culture around sexu

they called the new york times the lying new york times, they call the press the enemy of the people.n to undermine a fundamental democratic institution. they have also added another aspect to their argument, saying that this is a strategy to bring down president trump, looking ahead to those elections later in the year. well, president trump also mentioned today that he is hoping for a miracle from god but it. this. well, i'm hoping for scientists and the team of professionals at the cdc and the state planners who have primary responsibility to ensure that there is, but this virus is properly controlled and contained and handled in a professional manner. if we are looking in —— looking at conspiracy theories, we're looking at the wrong direction. he should be talking to a scientist. not only does he try to undermine depressed, he tries to undermine belief in the facts and an expertise. this is just the facts and an expertise. this isjust one more example. professor, good to get your views. thank you. thank you so much, have a great evening. and there are special coverage on the bbc n

there was incredible investigative reporting this week in "the washington post," "the new york times." "the new yorkf money and the way bloomberg has captured enormous parts of the progressive infrastructure around the country. "the post" went deeper into the nondisclosure agreements and the pattern of discrimination allegations against michael bloomberg which he has denied but we only know so much about because of nondisclosure agreements. it's a moment to consider media bias. to what extent are folks who did really well when michael bloom botheri bloomberg was mayor, folks who may be overrepresented among newsrooms and executives, to what extent are we taking michael bloomberg seriously because of both men and a kind of centrist bias, i think are questions that we need to think about. independent reporting is so important when you have somebody basically paying their way into the conversation, not being subject to the same debates, the same campaigning from voters, not the same early contests. i think there's no precedent for that. and it makes independent journalism all the more important. >> i h

that, stories that appeared in the new york times's own pages in months and years before this piece appeared directly contradicted with this piece alleges so the new yorkas false at the time they published it, they knew was malicious and it was done with intent to harm the trump campaign. >> the new york times's response to the lawsuit, they see the trump campaign has turned to the courts to punish an opinion writer for having an opinion they find unacceptable. the law protects americans, we look forward to vindication or vindicating that right in this case. max frankel was a former executive editor of the new york times but let's move on to something going on, just kicked off, you spoke last night at sea pack under the banner of america versus socialism. for those who maybe don't know what sea pack is a little about the importance of the event. >> a large gathering of conservatives, the theme of socialism, dangers of socialism versus our system of capitalism and entrepreneurial freedom and that is what is going to be on the ballot this november, the clear record of accomplishment on behalf of all americans, versus what comes out of the mess with the g

new york times should be entitled to publish what they choose. stephen. you know quite rightly that the entire month of the new york times to publish what is shoes but be open to critique and debate and judgment on that i suppose the question is where would you draw the line here i mean the taliban the afghanistan branches that actually listed as a terrorist organization this individual is i mean many people are going to say what's next you know publishing articles by you know isis leaders or you know people along those lines where is the line here between freedom of speech as we say and you know publishing hate speech. well it's freedom of speech in that so you can soon as you start to limit what can or can't be said then you no longer freedom of speech then you start to what level do you set out to set in that levels the idea is that you have that freedom to say you have that and then people have the freedom to question that view and we've seen many once politicians have been questioned on a particular view it shown to be a ridiculous point but if you keep this is really a no platform situation with them if you k

[laughter] >> good. [laughter] thank you for your service. [laughter] do you use thank you hate yourself? [laughter] with the intake session and then following a bunch venture capitals on the microblogging platform it wasn't an act of self care because the venture capitalists were discussing - - discussing universal basic income i cannot look away concerned about the economic potential as icebergs melted to the uninhabited ability they are concerned that ai or the question if they are china would own it to bring the third world war to see automation and artificial intelligence the machine to do the work so the rest of us could focus on our art with the block grant government services to inspire a revolution in the revolution i believed in the ai renaissance and then automated out of a job. they were prolific and talked like nobody i knew most days they talked ideas how to apply microeconomic theories to complex problems the decline of higher ed and the builders mindset and for generating more ideas to have things to talk about. despite this advocacy of the open markets and continuous innovation for those nuanced instances to fill the hypocrisy from a smart phone as if defending capitalism and through a kaleidoscope of startups if you want to eliminate economic inequality wrote the founder of the seed accelerator. every person of the angel investor. send your best scholars and learn from the masters. then return home with the knowledge and the networks that you need. to they think nobody could see them? venture capitalists were not above. do you have a laugh track? [laughter] the venture capitalists were not above the culture to read those recommendations to stay humble be healthy and drink less travel and medicate and find your wife. preach the gospel of 80 hour work weeks whenever they denigrated the adf work life balance that is antithetical that is necessary for startup success and how many had the executive personal assistant. i couldn't imagine making millions of dollars every year than choosing to spend my time on social media. it is an internet addiction why not just e-mail each other? but then again that the internet was good for anything transparency and action to the industry elite there's no better way to know which venture capitalist over identity politics to apply practices was going. founders and entrepreneurs and then to perceive themselves as victims and how else to understand to deliberately amplify the ideologies and investment strategies of the people transforming society the people i was helping to make rich. [applause] >> and are there folks in the audience to read it. probably not too many. im thinking the beginning and your wide-eyed approach after your career in publishing. so what happened? from the beginning and then to be as optimistic as we seem. how did you come into that the year is 2012, i'm working in publishing people make money in their jobs and this is a revelation to me. [laughter] so for a long time and then i really wanted to believe it and with the self-delusion. and then like a game of solitaire. and wasn't funny to me the way people speak and otherwise it was terribly depressing. but i didn't think about skewing that in a critical way i think i'm pretty fair in the book i don't think it's wildly negative but my dad said the venture capitalist don't get a break in your book. [laughter] >> anyone can take it they are just middlemen. [laughter] we are both open-minded individuals who would listen to a different narrative. is just the structural position. >> allied of the criticism that new yorkers are coming in. so if this is unique to how things work around here if you are in publishing yes. absolutely. i think this is inherently interesting and then to provide the stuff the literature and that i necessarily would not have written a book many have done so before. >> but then to go through the trappings. >> the industry is different that is authentic but each has a set of rules and norms that you take for granted and the social relationships to maintain professional ambitions in this must what it be in business. except your career advancement depends on who you have dinner with on a thursday. versus having dinner alone on twitter. [laughter] but i think you could steer the industry. there are people in the room. but the reason i wrote a book about tech there hadn't been ten about this particular era and in those previous eras that with the entry-level employee but to be a woman in tact. sorry people just keep asking me things. you work in tech? how is that going. you ar

he writes the "new york today" column for "the new york times," is a veteran new york metro reporter who has been covering one mike bloomberg since about 2003. you and i were chuckling at some of the past greats of new york city politics and near greats. what did you see in that montage that is maybe triggering, qualities and traits you know about this guy? >> it's sort of like a time machine. you have mike bloomberg, who is facing a very crowded democratic field, and in 2001, his option is to run as a republican. this year, that's not really an option. but what he says about spending money is kind of fascinating. when he does it, it's for virtuous reasons. it's to give people more choices so they can hear about his record against people that have spent their entire lives in politics. well, what he's negating to really mention is that it's hard to have a choice when people don't hear from as many of the other people out there. and he also criticizes every other candidate for fund-raising, which is one of those necessary evils until public financing takes place. so when mike bloomberg

new york times." i haveu: to read the "new york times." but the bottom line, how complicated is it? make it more complicated. >> if you are bernie sanders and you have a 6,000-vote margin you are the winner. to the rest of iowa they have until july when they have a convention in wisconsin. lou: do you want them to recanvass? >> no, i don't want them to nrecanvass. i have spent too much time in iowa. the hottest place in summer and coldest in winter. it has 6 electoral votes and we are going to get them. lou: the national annual prayer breakfast. >> he's a street fighter. and she is fighting like the marques of queensbury. >> when it comes face to face in aknife fight or fistfight they can't touch trump. i have known nancy for 50 years. he's now under her skin when she is talking about the sacred house and how disrespectful he was to the sacred house when he is honoring american is absurd. lou: the president said he wants to like dems. he's trying. i can't even imagine. and god bless him or even thinking of it. sometimes there is a reach too far even for prayer. maybe get along with

liz: you know, this "new york times" story, now "the new york times" is backtracking on its own now debunkedtial story that russia was interfering to help the president again. now "the times" is reporting house democrats, quote misheard or misinterpreted it and clearly it was leaked. cnn's jim acosta attack the president in india over this even though "the times" is backing off of it. the office of the director of national intelligence says they have not seen the intelligence. they oversee 16 intelligence agencies. and nsa, national security advisor robert o'brien pushing back on abc saying this is inaccurate media coverage. your take on all of this? >> there was a time we could really rely on attempts to accurately report especially in the intelligence community, those things that do eventually get revealed to congress. but those days are behind us. we have not had a lot of accuracy. we have a lot of unidentified sources. those are concerning especially when you're dealing with intelligence and sensitive issues like fisa warrants and other authorizations that come under the patriot act. liz

one taliban brit leader recently articulated in the new york times what he saw asa the new york times one taliban leader. there are many reasons to take that with many grains of salt. he himself was deputy leader of the taliban, known for being one of the most notorious warlords, of the haqqani network you represent, one that the us fought so fiercely against, and they were successful against those forces in afghanistan so there was a great deal of scepticism about what kind of government the taliban would like to see, they have said, whether they can keep their promises and whether again everyone within the taliban is on the same page as to how to proceed. can we expect us troops to leave afghanistan? there are 13,000 at the moment. i think you know, again, this isjust a first step, the plans appear to be based on reports in the public domain, about 8500 troops and again, depending on how the situation on the ground is, there may be further reductions but i think at this point in time, the first step, if the reduction in violence are if the reduction in violence a re successful, if t

new york times." i started off, i ran against very smart people. a lot of them. >> he said that a few times. >> i just think i am entitled to a great story from "the new york timesi have done something nobody has ever done. susan: this was the podcast the new york times crated after their oval office exchange with the president about their coverage. what do you hear in the president's voice there? patty: it is a little sad. i am entitled to something nice from my hometown newspaper. you see the validation he wants from the "new york times," which he calls the "failing new york times" now. because they have not given him that puffball of a story he wanted on the presidency. electedn, he was not king but president of the united states. with the checks and balances people's right to free speech . and power of assembly and protest, president trump like all presidents has endured those first amendment freedoms. it is not always pleasant to be on the other end of that. but it is the role of the press to be challenging, to be critical, to question things for the american people, that is what the role of the press is. susan: let's bring it all the way back and put a rib

new york times." i read "the new york times." but they don't always get it right. the matter is, i have never, ever worried about who will win in order to tell my supporters who i favor. so i will never, ever base my support upon whether or not i think that person will win the state anyway. why would you need my support? i did not support barack obama publicly in 2008. and nobody thought he was going to win, but he did. so i don't know where they're getting that from. that's not how i make decisions. >> all right, so let me ask you, you mentioned mayor buttigieg. he's actually running an ad in south carolina right now featuring your grandson, who works for him. you said to me on this program in november that mayor buttigieg will have trouble with older african-american voters in south carolina because he is gay. he's done really well in iowa and new hampshire, as voters learn more about him, do you think they still feel that way? >> i think that we all grow. we mature, and i think that political calculations are changing quite a bit. you know, i grew up in a fundam

new york times." i have to read the "new york times." they say nasty things about all our friends. complicated. if you are bernie sanders and you have a 6,000-vote margin, you are the wish. the rest of iowa, they have until july when they have a convention. lou: do they have to recab vas? >> i spent too much time in iowa. the hottest place in the summer and coldest place in the winter. my experience in iowa is down. it has 6 electoral votes and we are going to get them. lou: the president has had a belly full. >> what they like to do, they sit in a tree and shoot you in the back. but when it come face to face, they can't touch trump. he's now -- i have known nancy for 50 years. he is under her skin when she talks about the sacred house. it was absurd. lou: the president said he wants to like them. he's trying. i can't even imagine -- god bless him for even thinking of it. sometimes there is a reach too far even for prayer. maybe get along with them. but to like them? >> he will never like them. the reality here is he has his party in a war mode. they won a big victory. they will no

paul krugman waddled out from his cubicle at "the new york times" to call bernie sanders a liar. craven hack of "new york magazine" did what he was told, as he always does, he called sanders' surgeon act of insanity. other people assuring their readers that bernie can't win. they know sanders can win and they are worried about it. honestly on some level, you can't blame them for being worried about it. sanders is a human bug light. every lunatic in the democratic party seems drawn to him. they can't stay away. most of alexandria ocasio-cortez's squad has endorsed him. they are on the road for him. just the other day, his surrogate, congressman rashida tlaib reminded the country how she earned her reputation as the single most unappealing member of congress. watch. >> you remember last week when someone by the name of hillary clinton said that nobody -- we are not going to boo. we are classy. >> i will boo. boo. you know i can't be quiet. we are going to boo. that's all right. the haters will shut up on monday when we win. >> tucker: monday has come, and we are going to find out just a moment if they have

to be clear that's the iranian civil nuclear program because as you say the new york times in 20th less right but the new york times in 20 of will publish cia documents that were fabricated and the entire narrative about the nuclear weapons program comes from fabricated documents that's right and this this is really at the heart of the story line and i'm sorry to say that no one else except myself has written about this but what i found in going into the problem of these questionable documents of these mysterious documents that came came to the surface in 2004 was that in fact what happened the the israelis worked on the documents gave them to their friends the mujahideen eke out the m.e. k. at that time considered rightly so to be a terrorist organization by the u.s. state department the m.e. kay then passed them on to the to the german intelligence agency the b. and d. and the germans passed them on to the cia but when the u.s. government began to talk about these documents as evidence that iran was in fact trying to mate a nuclear weapon with their shahab 3 missile then the german intelligence people said
