but back on the billy bush day, it wasn't jeh johnson. >> it was jeh johnson. we had that information earlier that day. we had all those assessments being reported but we can't impose sanctions. >> i'm not going to argue about the news because i respect the free press. >> what do you expect the media to do in retrospect when we did report it when it's up to the administration to push back and fight for the country? we report the information. >> the prz see that the sanctions removed. but as far as the media, you look at the percentage of coverage with the win i bag owe conversation and the conversation with jeh johnson and i'll bet you it's 100-1. >> take care. thank for coming on. >> sure. take care. >> coming up i'll going to spack with ben gelles. ...explosive. but the true secret to his perfection... was a heart, twice the size of an average horse. at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this. 'a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all busines

donald trump's remarks about what he can do to women during a hot micro cording of him speaking to billie bush. mr. trump said allowed and i quote "when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them right in the genital area. you can do anything." he spoke of profane words for genital area as i'm confident you're aware. for those remarks, the president later apologized. the white house is not apologizing for today's presidential tweets which it has previously announced should be considered by all official statements of the president of the united states. the press secretary, sarah huckabee sanders, said and i quote "i don't think the president's ever been someone who gets attacked and doesn't push back. there's been an outrageous number of personal attacks, not just to him but everyone around him. people on that show, meaning morning joe, have personally attacked me many times. this is a president who fights fire with fire." what critics call the cyber bullying sexist aspect of the tweet, she did not address. the first lady launched five months ago an anti cyber bullying in

to know about that he wasn't tweeting he wasn't videotaping it he wasn't bragging about it the billy bush. as the woman on the panel looks like number one i think women have got a lot more important things i worry about than the dumb things men say on a daily basis after this i'll be meeting a girlfriend for drinks and i promise you it will be the exact same stuff i agree with you is that i think pretty childish pretty sad yes but i also think everyone is feeding into this i think a lot of the reason trump won this election was because the media gave this man free airtime and he was able to say what he wanted with free press coverage every day and the media m s n b c specifically i think think they love it when he does this because now they can talk about stuff and now we can keep talking about it trump and keep tweeting it and the funny thing is i think so many people to laugh to keep thinking people that voted for trump are upset about this and i don't think people care i personally think a lot of this is ridiculous but i think pretty much most things that are happening in the in our go

did [ bleep ] and of course everyone's attention turned to what donald trump had been saying to billy busht bus. >> what automatically attracted you? >> just a kiss -- >> a break for the clinton campaign, that is until just moments later. >> within minutes, i think 23 minutes later the first of the e-mails was posted to wikileaks with a statement saying we have the contents of his e-mail system and we're going to release them all and of course the campaign. >> that is the entire contents of john pa test that's private account totaling more than 50,000 e-mails. once again the source of the e-mail troll was wikileaks, and democrats as well as the u.s. intelligence committee suspected the release had been timed for maximum impact. >> do you have any doubts those two events that day, the access hollywood tapes and after hearing e-mails -- >> well, it's a massive coincidence that they would chose to pull the trigger on a friday evening when they've been sitting on it for a while. >> no i have nothing to say about wikileaks other than i think we should be concerned about what the russians are tr

. >> and, of course, everyone's attention turned to what donald trump had been saying to billy bush onm automatically attracted to beautiful -- i just start kissing them. it's like a magnet. >> a break for the clinton campaign. that is, until just moments later. >> within minutes, i think 23 minutes later, the first of the e-mails was posted to wikileaks with a statement from julian assange that said that, you know, we have the contents of his e-mail system and we're going to release them all. of course, the campaign. >> that is, the entire contents of john podesta's private account, totaling more than 50,000 e-mails. once again, the source of the e-mail trove was wikileaks and democrats and later the u.s. intelligence community suspected the release had been timed for maximum impact. have any doubt that those two events that day, the "access hollywood" tape then the release soon after of your e-mails -- >> let's put it, it's a pretty massive quens dencoincidence th choose to pull a trigger on a friday evening when they've been sitting on it for a while. >> no, i have nothing to say ab

i think everybody will be back just as much as billy bush will come back, kathy griffin will come backu have to give it time. everyone in media, politics, celebrities, they come back. >> james: is she going to be back? if so, michael, where will she land with a steady gait? >> i have no idea and that's outside of my expertise. it's tiresome when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar immediately resorting to blaming older white man for bullying kathy griffin. it's absurd. the answer to political correctness is history, and senator mike lee has an incredible book out called "written out of history" that can help people understand the founders in american history. to get back at this political reckless, people should look at the book. >> james: among the -- was not from an old, white man, but from someone named melania trump speaking about her son. when we come back, the panel tackles the next shore, which is "winners and losers, they have got some disease -- some doozies. stay with ♪ >> we are back with the panel, time now with winners and losers, charles krauthammer. >> lose

and when you heard him make that boast to billy bush on the "access hollywood" bus, you could hear that he expected full agreement with his boasting about his right to sexually assault women. they are his to grab in any way he wants. that's what you heard him say. that's a feeling that comes from hatred of women. the only women donald trump doesn't hate are the ones who claim to love him and the ones who claim everything he does is just perfect. >> i think that the president has been attacked mercilessly on personal accounts on that program, and i think he's been very clear that when he gets attacked, he's going to hit back. i think the american people elected somebody who is tough, who's smart, and who's a fighter. and that's donald trump. and i don't think that it's a surprise to anybody that he fights fire with fire. >> fights fire with fire. an eye for an eye. a tooth for a tooth. but donald trump and his spokesperson sarah huckabee sanders, the daughter of a christian preacher, do not believe in the old testament prescription of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. >> again, i'm

there was a russian effort against the election, that was that october day, we also heard about the billy bushnald trump tapes. that was kind of suppressed because of the magnitude of that news and it got lost in the sauce. but russia was on the table. >> definitely got lost in that sauce. thank you both very much. outfront next. trump's sharp warning to syria about another chemical attack. we've got all the details. they say they are preparing for another one. what will president trump do if his red line is crossed? and a senate questioning bob mueller's integrity tonight.

ahead of all of the things he's doing today as president than it was for example when he was with billy bush on the bus with "access hollywood." so that's a problem. it's something that the white house staff had been trying to wean him off of. they have tried to instill discipline. they like this fight he's having with the media. they think it's great for him to feud with the so-called fake news, it galvanizes and energizes his base. he was a big republican party fund-raiser last night talking about cnn and attacking cnn and for the white house that's sort of a win. but this is a whole other level and a whole other thing here what he's doing with mika and i don't think his advisers are too happy to see it happening. >> but again, i know i is you this all the time. can anyone change him? i'm told by a friend of his who didn't defend the move, but understand it. this is sort of the street brawler in him. >> yeah. >> the more low rent side of donald trump who thinks when you punch, punch back. who brings a gun to a knife fight. this is his character. >> this is exactly right. the people i was b

whatever -- whether it's billy bush or others who lose their job for comments like that it's the workplace> we'll keep our eye on it. we'll see what happens. >>> something else we're keeping our eye on, the nba finals, fellas. and amy. golden state opening up a two-game lead over cleveland with a huge 132-113 win last night in oakland. if there's one play that's a metaphor for the series, steph curry weaving around the king lebron james and putting it in the hoop for this third quarter layup and t.j. holmes, our man, he was in oakland for it all. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: hey, good morning, stra. that play you're talking about, that was steph curry went globetrotter on lebron james last night and was the signature moment of the game in a lot of ways, put the golden state warriors on a run last night and they did not look back. you have to keep in mind here since 2012 only three people have won the mvp and the nba, steph curry, lebron james and kevin durant. well, two of those guys are on the same team and they're too much for lebron james right now. they just have an offensive onslau
