he voiced his concerns last night in washington speaking with cbs contributor bob schieffer. >> every couple of days there's a new aspect of this really unhappy situation, and, you know, my friends, none of us, no matter what our political innings are or how we feel about trump, it's not good for america. >> mccain said the president has to get it all out because the longer you delay, the longer it's going to last. >>> well, ahead on "cbs this morning," we will talk with cbs contributor bob schieffer about the latest white house controversy and we'll ask cbs news chief analyst jan crawford what it takes to prove obstruction of justice. >>> well, at least nine people were injured when a protest turned violent outside a turkish ambassador's residence in washington. turkish security personnel clashed with demonstrators as police tried to control the situation. the fighting broke out just hours after president trump met with the turkish president at the white house. two demonstrators were arrested. >>> and at least two people were killed by tornadoes that struck the plains. and more sever

you know, bob schieffer made a really, really good point. this distrust with the national media has been a long time in coming. part of it has to do with the fact that so many local newspapers are closing. so you don't have that local connection, right? and so you are more forced to watch national news. people in national newsrooms don't exactly, you know, show the -- share the same values, share the same lifestyle, so there's this feeling from someone out in the interior of the country is that they're being talked down to when the news is being delivered. that's no one's fault, it's just that people are completely different. this didn't start with trump, this distrust. i don't think it ends with distrust. i think that it's something that we all have to work on. both sides, both reporters and journalists and the consumers of news. >> that's true, but i just want to get back to reality. it's fine to talk about the media and eye rolling and stuff. trump fired his national security advisor in his first month in office. he fired the fbi director

bob schieffer saying mr. trump sounded in his words very presidential.uring his big speech yesterday in saudi arabia. >> he helped himself today. because he didn't sound like the guy at the end of the bar popping off, he sounded like some one who thought about what he was going to say before he said it. he kept a hold on the tweets, he stuck to the script, and he sounded much different. not only than he sounded all of last week, but throughout the campaign. >> leland: john mccormick, senior writer for the standard, and investigative author and fox news contributor, always news to see you both. ladies first. juldy, you agree with bob schieffer, you did yesterday. >> i do today as well. consistency. and i totally agree, look, he received the royal so to speak treatment in riyadh, because in part the king was so happy to see anybody other than barack obama in his king dom. donald trump is -- >> leland: are you surprised by how universally positive the coverage is in the u.s. media, even publications that give the president a very hard time are very positive

cbs news contributor bob schieffer covered the assassination.e of his age. >> good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know with the youth and the glamour and the excitement that the kennedys brought to the white house, they turned the black and white movie of american politics into blazing technicolor. then with his tragic death, john kennedy became not just an icon but an almost mythical figure. to many, they became the america's royal family. jfk had some real accomplishments. he created the peace corps. he committed america to go to the moon and we did. but most of all, he inspired young americans to public service. the one thing that had the most to do with shaping his presidency was a thing that got him elected -- television. he was our first television president. >> the candidates need no introduction. >> reporter: the nation had never seen a presidential debate until the letter known senator from massachusetts faced rich around nixon in 1960. historian robert dallek remembers kennedy as cool and presidential. not so the vice presiden

and the words of bob schieffer who has been very tough on the president, a very presidential soundingtrump. >> he may have calmed down its rhetoric a little bit, but he was still very strong today and very clear. distinctions between good and evil. there is little subtlety in his speech and he called upon the muslim community to take the lead in combating evil. evil he meant radical islamic terrorists instead of waiting for the united states to do that to them. this is refreshing after president obama and absolutely a rebuttal of the obama administration. leland: using president trump has either the willingness and/or the ability to really keep, for lack of a better term, his mood on the necks of the saudis, qataris, emmerich to make sure he lives up to these. the richest members of the royal family are funding terrorism. are you concerned about that? >> we will hold them accountable. go ahead. >> i think that's questionable, right? the arms deal he just made with the saudi's. you have to remember, president obama made a larger deal with this administration and he had to take item off

. >> rick: that was former cbs host bob schieffer question acting to president trump's big speech ina getting a lot of praise in some media. howard kurtz host of media buzz. what does it mean he sounded presidential? >> it's better than the way the media usually described this president. even the president's most ardent critics, most i should say are calling it a substantive and well delivered speech. softer tone on islam. well received in riyadh and a good start to the trip in terms of media coverage all store aoefs are already starting to crowd it out. president's budget makes massive cuts to medicaid as you discussed moments ago. mike flynn declining a senate subpoena. no matter how much trump makes news on this overseas trip the media aren't ready to let go of the russia story especially now with the special counsel investigation. >> rick: they've been reluctant to praise trump on any level. the recent study demonstrated that. >> the harvard study is amazing. 80% of the coverage negative in the president's first 100 days. over 90% on cnn, nbc was also negative. here is the thing.
