that's a line continued by kellyanne conway with anderson cooper in quite a substantive interview just about a little more than an hour ago. he emphasizes the document which again we did not detail the allegations inside it but we did detail the synopsis sis of those allegations was included in the briefing. he mentions that document and goes on to say, let me repeat that sentence, part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the full quest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security. it is hard, don to, read that in any other way but to confirm that as part of that obligation, they presented some of this information as we reported yesterday in that intelligence briefing. a remarkable statement from the director of national intelligence. to in effect reveal a private conversation with the president about this and on a matter that the president has contested very boldly new public just a few hours before in his press conference. >> and again, i think you pointed out that important line and it is important pointed out again, but this is

. - anderson cooper was one of the early ones of those on the cable channels. rachel maddow is almost compulsive in her-- - use of the first person. - use of the first person. and i think it's actually made us all, as consumers of the media, think very differently in a largely positive way, about how that goes. - i mean there's a fine line, right, i mean, you can go too far, you can be like, "well when i was in iraq," when you're interviewing some general or something, or like, "well, the time i crossed that river," i mean it's a little too much you, right? and so, we're in this wonderful period where, again, i think podcasts like serial and some of the other really good journalism podcasts have shown us that people want you to be a person, they want you to say your name, they want you to have feelings, they want you to use the first-person, i, me. but we still have to ask these questions about when and how much, and i think some people can go too far, and i think some people can still... so it's a question that you have to be asking yourself everyday. - and th

last night, anderson cooper pressed kellyanne conway on the russian intelligence report. cooper, he tried to get conway to point outer errors in cnn's reporting. she kept switching focus to the sources and credibility of the information. once again, cnn did not report the underlying information. >> i'm trying to figure out from you what you have been saying about what is true and what is not and you cannot -- you cannot take issue with any specific that we have reported. i have yet to hear you say specifically that is not true. >> it's not true. >> those were the briefing documents. it's not true that it was in any of the briefing documents? you are saying that categorically? >> other than the briefing documents. they would not have access to it. >> we have multiple sources. this is something that "the new yorks times." >> this is a red herring. you are trying to distract. >> you can use all those words all you want. the fact is the media has a 16% approval rating for a reason. >> officials will hold a meeting with the senate to discuss the latest on the russian hacking d

. >> it's really incredible if you consider the interview that anderson cooper did with kellyanne conway earlier, essentially confirming the reporting and kellyanne conway was not only -- >> i have that. let me sort of explain what's happening here. at press conference donald trump and his spokesman tried to conflate cnn's reporting with bu buzzfeed's, they published a report cnn did not and kellyanne conway had this exchange. >> what cnn said was i quote, classified documents presented last week to president obama and president-elect trump included allegations that russian operatedives claimed to have compromising information about trump. >> and it's not true. >> anderson your sources are not correct. >> so you're saying in that intelligence briefing, there was no information in any of the documents that -- of that summary? >> dtwo things, we don't discus the classified information -- >> you just said it wasn't true. >> you want me to talk. i know cnn is feeling the heat. >> i think you guys are. >> what heat do we feel? you've got this raw information, this complete ridiculous fake new

kellyanne conway clashed with anderson cooper in this fiery exchange about it. >> what's inaccurate about what cnn reported. >> the whole headline. go read the entire story. four by lines and a story that's just not true that the president elect was presented with this information that it was apended in a two page document to the briefing. nbc has said it was not. other people have said it was not. >> nbc had said it was not verbally presented. we never said it was verbally presented. we said we don't know if it was verbally presented. you're saying there was no information in any of the documents of that two page summary. >> so two things in that number one we don't discuss the classified information that has presented intelligence briefings. >> i know cnn is feeling the heat today. come on and discuss it. what heat do we feel that you've got this raw information, this complete ridiculous fake news. >> after months of casting doubts over the conclusions of the intelligence community president elect donald trump conceded for the first time in a press conference that he believes russia was

he spoke to anderson cooper about his chilling experience inside the airport terminal. >> i dropped toe ground, and i heard more of the popping sounds. and then while i'm on the floor, i'm seeing people in front of me get hit. >> you actually saw that. >> i saw that. there was a man probably ten feet ahead of me was shot in the head and his wife collapsed on top of him. and -- >> was he shot when he was standing up or was he on the floor? >> we were all on the floor about. >> so the shooter just shot somebody laying down on the floor? >> it was from a certain distance. shooter was not necessarily walking around the whole baggage claim area. he was still several feet away from many of us. but he kind of shot into the crowd and toward the floor and hit that man. >> was he saying at all before or during the shooting? >> he said absolutely nothing. he said absolutely nothing. and so there was a point where the entire terminal of the baggage area was completely silent and all we could hear was just the popping of the gun. >> that's how you railroad it, people not screaming, you remember sil

trump has decided to trust intelligence from a more reliable source: wikileaks founder and hobo anderson cooperlian assange. ( laughter ) after watching assange on fox news, trump tweeted, "julian assange said a 14-year-old could have hacked a podesta. and that's not easy. we know that's not easy. most 14-year-olds surf the internet with just one hand. speaking of trump's twitter-- which we will be speak about for years now-- even though trump has 18 million followers, he only follows 42 accounts. he doesn't even follow barack obama-- and he's literally about to follow barack obama! but this weekend, trump followed somebody new on twitter: this is true. "emergency kittens," a twitter account devoted to adorable cats. the feed features cute kitty photos and memes, like this one that says "you win at life if you cat cuddles with you." that must be strange for trump to see-- i mean, a man being grabbed by a pussy. it's so unusual.

"ac 360 with anderson cooper" begins right now. >>> good evening. thanks for join us. we begin with breaking news involving multiple facets of the russian hacking story and fallout from it. a closed door briefing by fbi director james comey where debbdebby wasserman schultz reportedly tore into him about the stolen e-mails that led to her ouster. the bigger development comes from the senate intelligence committee and bipartisan plans to not just investigate the hacking but contact between the trump campaign and the russian government. phil matingly, what are you learning about the scope of this investigation? >> broad and has potentially reel teeth. this is a powerful committee. this is a bipartisan investigation agreed to by the top republican and the top democrat and as they pursue this investigation, this is a committee that has subpoena power. i said potentially because the senators will have to decide jointly to pursue the things that bring the teeth to this, most notably the subpoena power. but in their description of what this inquiry is going to entail, they ma

one man described it all to our anderson cooper. >> we were just getting ready to leave and heard a round thought was fire crackers and after a quick little pause, the shooting began and we all realized along with everyone else in the terminal that it was shooting. >> how far away were you? >> at that point in time i was probably about 100 yards. >> wow. so basically at that point people started screaming, yelling. for those close to the exit doors running frantically to the doors to get out of there. the people by the baggage claim, they were hiding under chairs, they were trying to block themselves, getting as much protection as they could. he just continued to walk up around and just doing a point and shoot and just randomly shooting people. no rhyme, no reason. he was quiet. did not say anything. >> so you could actually see the shooter while he was -- >> yeah, i watched him. yeah, i watched every bit of it. you know, and basically walked up and down there. after the first three rounds i got my wife out and got some other ladies that had fallen over from trying to get out of there. i

the former president was on with anderson cooper earlier saying i'm not going to say, and i won't put it in his terms. he used an expletive, any you know what wall. donald trump says the president says you're going to pay for it. it may be complicated. you know. >> here's the question. why should they pay for the wall? let's start this. this isn't something they want. it's not something they need. they -- this is expensive. we're talking billions of dollars. it's ridiculous on the face of it. so if donald trump wants us to believe this is going to happen, he needs to be a little more specific about how he's going to get the money from them. >> this is a cbs news poll this month. 59%% almost 60% of americans oppose the wall. 37% support it. when cbs asks who they think will pay for the wall, nearly 80% think we'll pay for it ourselves. only 14 % think mexico will pay for this wall. he's taking early action, but can he deliver on the massive promise that most americans don't want? >> the reason -- >> we've already gone through. >> the reason most americans don't want it is because he do

about him, someone will approach him -- >> he was saying that about cnn and then i saw melania on anderson coopernight. >> he is willing to forgive. but we don't want to to be all about did you say nice things or not about donald trump and therefore that's going to determine the coverage >> do you think he generally gets mad at these media organizations or because he wants to delegitimize them because he knows that critical coverage is coming and it ease easier to paint with a wide brush saying, they all suck. you can't believe a thing they say. >> the effect is definitely what you're saying there. delegitimizing the media as a whole. i don't think it's as plotted as that. i think trump tends to respond and react and say what's on his mind ap and what's on his mind has typically been to be able to do what he wants. he's been a powerful rich person for a long time who has been able to not worry about what anyone thinks about him. and as president of the united states -- >> isn't that great? >> but as president of the united states, you have to care. it matters what other world leaders think about

this is not something that anderson cooper and the left-wing media came up with and said we're going to discuss today. this is not how that was created. >> there was no plan to reporting on the size or the magnetometers on the mall. >> to your point, anderson, i think that is an excellent, excellent point. taking aside all the back and forth and the very important reality that sean spicer was asked to, told to, whatever happened go to the white house briefing room and say things that were not true, put all that aside. donald trump has historically been a marketer and has been very, very good at changing the subject to his bep fit. i actually don't necessarily that that was the case. even though if you want to give him the benefit of doubt, maybe he was trying to do to change the subject away from the marchers here. this is a situation where this is a thing for him. it gets under his skin. it's about crowd size and ratings, everything. it is unfortunate because what we talked about from 8:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night was the majesty of the day and about the fact that he did

earlier my colleague anderson cooper spoke to a man who saw the attack firsthand and here's what he had to say. >> they're just getting ready to leave and we heard a burst. which i first thought was fire kraerks. ar a quick pause, the shooting started again. we all realized along with everyone else in the terminal realized it was not firecrackers but someone shooting. > how far away were you. >> >> at that point it, i was probably about 100 yards. >> wow. >> so beak at that point, people started screaming, yelling, running frantically to those exits to try and get out you have there. the people by the baggage carousel were more locked down there. there were basically people hiding under the chairs close to the baggage claim area to try to block themselves to get as much protection as he can. he continued to walk up and down the aisle around the carousels doing a point and shoot and randomly shooting people no, rhyme, no reason. was not yelling anything. he was quiet as a mouse. did not say anything. >> you could actually see the shooter while he was. >> yeah. >> firing. > i watched him.
