we'll talk to jean in a second she has more expertise in this here but when i see people going on c.n.n. an embassy in d.c. saying the president of states is insane and should be reviewed reviewed removed from office that's going too far i don't think anybody said bill clinton was insane ok he had a problem with his ip or not his mental health go ahead steve. no i mean this to me this is unprecedented it's a continuation of bush derangement syndrome noticed it skips democratic presidents they hated bush they said all kinds of disrespectful things against him but not to this extent i mean i've talked to people like you know the nixon white house who said they hated nixon but they've never seen anything like this what the media is doing now is more dangerous than anything they have done because they're telling the world you know they're so worried about donald trump's tweets they're telling the world every single day and of course it's not true that our president is mentally incapacitated unable to perform his duties and that we're very very weak at this point and that we have a lot of en

journalist make mistakes oftentimes usually they they they own up to it c.n.n. c.b.s. n.b.c. made. a mistake last week and they weren't held they weren't held accountable and they weren't holding themselves accountable that's that's a problem i agree one hundred percent on that score. but to suggest that the news media should take an adversarial position to people in positions of power and authority is to give way to authoritarianism and this is not the way we need to conduct or what i want you to do have how come i don't hold a press that's not afraid to ask tough questions and to hold people hostage and how are countable ok now i don't know that. they have like this i mean are well suited to do that ok i mean this gets down to it i'll just this is how i let me hang on here let me see even and i'll just this to both of you stephen do you know here i mean what happened to the idea of a loyal opposition because this the media has abandoned that ok asking hard questions is fine over eight years old barack obama was never asked one hard question u.k. not one he was given a complete fr

rested who admitted on inside politics this week that all c.n.n. talks about is russia russia russia this russia gate but no no no no who cares no one in the united states actually cares i can agree with victor i don't think this will be a silver bullet either way i think that you know this this witch hunt will continue i'm far more interested in the way that the democrats in the media have tried to frame it they have argued through this anonymous anti propaganda propaganda you hit the. the alliance for securing democracy hamilton sixty eight dashboard which purports to follow a group of russian bots even though twitter says they've shut them all down. that. they're not going to name that didn't they never name who who they're actually following that they report purport to be promoting there are actually following you by what i know because i've never i've never have had any of these things that are talking about i mean last week these russian bonds that they follow the primary thing that russia was promoting it via social media was monday motivati

c.n.n.'s n.b.c. and fox news were champing at the bit to panel after anil arguing about whether or not oprah should run for president not so i thought to myself did i miss something i clean my ears i looked around did i hear wrong no oprah never said she was running for president never in fact since facts are so important she told the hollywood reporter last summer that quote i will never run for public office that's a pretty definitive thing and quote oprah told c.b.s. this morning last fall that quote there will be no running for office of any and for me and immediately following her speech out the golden globe she was asked by bloomberg politics if she planned to run and she answered quote i don't i don't and quote as yet within twenty four hours of her speech the host of c.n.n.'s reliable sources brian that blair claimed his sources say she's actively thinking about it. even misquoting her long time partner stedman in the report our report which is at the time of the broadcast not been c

and enjoy my c.n.n. money i. sincerely complain i want to know i am getting. my mom's credit was easy and i will not and do not. know well i am going to quit going to cause it has to solve our national vision madness and i do every day and then you can actually get an answer for the most gold in the area of the most our negative on someone you know a guy. where i was young but i do not have a condition from my family like to go to school. but i sort of like selling feet seem a street for people and entire. it was difficult to go because so i ended up sleeping in the streets the abuse three afterward. i started also to good use was with rides in our local as a child so it was very. very hard moment or a very hard time but for now in that time it was like something normal you know that something just before our. standing on my leg on one of the move and then one can ask or put in a name to know before talking all now marginal. as in my least a hole in them and of that and i don't usually angela was a mother and i don't mend them and there she is now welcome home

to basically fine c.n.n. and n.b.c.ny time they broadcast the story that trump found to his disliking which we know happens probably dozens of times a day so i think. germany's law was well intentioned but it's the worst possible response to fake news a far response this is asking the social media to take better care to the extent that they can in their dissemination of. yeah i think it's going to take a combination of solutions right and obviously it's no surprise that my my advice is that you can't stand because the truth is this regulation also addresses today's big news rate it doesn't account for what's going to happen in five years down the line in ten years down the line and that's where education comes in because what we're looking at is really building skills great in skills that can you know surpass technology changes and media change this and that's what's really important about education as a tool to resolve some of these issues it's not obviously going to you know help us solve all the ills in the world but

it's not news i mean i because of my the nature of my job i have to watch m s n b c i have to watch c.n.n. it's you know i sometimes i need a bucket but you know i have to do it and i don't learn anything i mean i don't get my news from them i have my own sources i put five or six hours every single day seven days a week in learning about news from people that i trust and places that i can i can go that i can trust ok but that i don't because all i see is just advocacy for the establishment for a liberal ideology for globalism as charles has mentioned here and i think that's intentional right now ok i mean this is they they're channeling all of this to keep this narrative about the status quo and we do know if we look at the last election the two different parties we had an insurgency with the democrats we had an accessible insurgent with with trump and the republicans i think the establishment is terrified and this is why the media needs to get things back and that's why they're moving towards censorship and we'll get to that in the second part of the program all of these things come tog

you're supposed to you're supposed to just just relax you'll be ok listen to c.n.n. no no we're not talking if this was a very very limited investigation of whether the trump campaign and trump himself colluded with russia whether five or six years ago president putin woke up one morning and said you know what i've done all trump is going to be president someday so let's set up this whole chain of events to entrap him in a way that we can manipulate him and make him our puppet this is what the whole thing was supposed to be about yeah and now we're talking about an interview with trump and ruler to talk about whether there might have been obstruction of justice when he fired komi as a previous speaker said very well he had a right to fire all these people and he should have that was probably his big mistake he's all bluster and no action ok gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on released a memo. oh. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. football isn

you're supposed to you're supposed to do that just just relax you'll be ok listen to c.n.n. no no we're not talking if this was a very very limited investigation of whether the trump campaign and trump himself colluded with russia whether five or six years ago president putin woke up one morning and said you know what i bet donald trump is going to be president someday so let's set up this whole chain of events to entrap him in a way that we can manipulate him and make him our puppet this is what the whole thing was supposed to be about yeah and now we're talking about an interview with trump and ruler to talk about whether there might have been obstruction of justice when he fired komi as a previous speaker said very well he had a right to fire all these people and he should have that was probably his big mistake he's all bluster and no action ok gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on released a memo. because there's a survival guide this is just the start simply. this is. actually .

c.n.n.'s n.b.c. and fox news were champing at the bit to have pen all after panel arguing about whether or not oprah should run for president but i thought to myself did i miss something i clean my ears i looked around did i hear a wrong note oprah never said she was running for president never in fact since facts are so important she told a hollywood reporter last summer that quote i will never run for public office that's a pretty definitive thing and quote oprah told c.b.s. this morning last fall that quote there will be no running for office of any kind for me and immediately following her speech out of all the globes she was asked by bloomberg politics if she planned to run and she answered quote i don't i don't and quit and yet within twenty four hours of her speech the host of c.n.n.'s reliable sources brian that lerner claimed his sources say she's actively thinking about it even misquoting her longtime partner steadman in the report our report which is at the time of the broadcast n

reporter with a microphone says c.n.n. in front of you and giving talking points so what we do is we have a false name of class background story maybe for instance we might set up. a website for job seekers and try to recruit people from a certain company or force a certain company in their community they can they're talking to a recruiter and join in a conversation and give away information we may go meet them in a. bit just happen to be next to them says sitting in a bar with lots of ways of making friends and then being introduced from one person to another and gaining information on hundreds of stories and not one of them is of been proven to be other context or ducted. but nothing connected to any of that but staying with social media next a facebook post has led to the capture of one form a japanese gang land boss and on the run for more than a decade.

a true and asked let's were he to class for example between trump's senior policy adviser and one c.n.n. host. because you have to write in a twenty four hours of negative and hysterical coverage on this network ok the lead in recent weeks is some spectacularly embarrassing false report i think the wrong word that i can answer to is that if you are storing title i have my three months of the truth why don't you just give me three minutes to tell you the truth about donald trump that i know and all of our campaigns you guys know my show and i want to do that so there's one viewer that you care about right now and you're being obsequious we're going to find out when you're going to be ok and i've got you know it's like if you're going to wasted enough of my viewers away you know that you care about. allegations about mental health the book's author claims that trump found the white house daunting and said that the president's own behavior contributed to chaos and dysfunction the book also alleges that the postman behind some of the leaks of personal data was the president himself and that

sure if all parts of it are true it led to a heated exchange between tran theni a policy adviser and c.n.n. host. because you have arrested a twenty four hours of negative and hysterical coverage on this network that lead in recent weeks to some spectacularly embarrassing false report i think the word that i can answer to you know is that if you are as are entitled to have my three months of the truth why don't you just give me three minutes to tell you the truth about donald trump that i know and all of our campaigns because i want to show and i don't want to do that in the toxic environment that you've created here in c.n.n. cable news which is a real crisis of legitimacy for your network and we saw it of course with the extremely fake news you reported about the don jr and wiki leak story it was a huge embarrassment for your network even just like the huge embarrassment you had when you got the komi testimony wrong stephen i'm trying to get if you're going to present to me which a lot of people and i'm getting to the issue of you're not going to. meanwhile for my chief strategist has ex

news outlets like c.n.n. a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. the enemy of the american people and his attacks on media go well beyond name calling trump has threatened to revoke n.b.c.'s license to broadcast in the us sometimes the american media have made it easy for him the chief investigative correspondent at a.b.c. news brian ross was recently suspended after incorrectly reporting on allegations of collusion with russia and c.n.n. also failed to fact check one of its stories on donald trump jr such mistakes just add fuel to the president's fire and fury did you see all the corrections the media's been making but what effect has donald trump's war on the media had on the american news consumer while the poynter institute a journalism school in florida conducted extensive research into that very question and the results will not have pleased the president well more than two out of three americans sixty nine percent say the media do tend to favor one side. the exact same percentage sixty nine percent also said news organizations keep political

news and c.n.n. have all made it into the top three r.t. samir khan joins us live with the details and well the award has caused quite a stir trying to delay the announcement for over a week i was repeatedly ridiculed for it so syria take us through the list of the winners. well after such a long wait he has finally held his fake news award ceremony and by award ceremony i obviously mean he tweeted a link to a blog post that revealed the winners in trump's own words the most dishonest and corrupt of the business but the website crashed as soon as he tweeted the link due to high internet traffic and luckily we do have a web archive with the list of winners and of course the top accolades went to the new york times and c.n.n. what a surprise you know we sure didn't see that one coming but what was unexpected however was trump's tweet that followed saying that there are great reporters that he respects. but i guess no may know names were mentioned and i guess he must've forgotten but somehow he didn't forget to name the winners of his fake new

the conservative perspective you have c.n.n. reporting the liberal. did do you think that is doing a great disservice to american democracy no i don't i think it's good that we have a debate in the media that reflects the differences in the american population but where's the debate happening though everyone is living in their own silos i mean if i'm watching c.n.n. and you're watching fox we never debate that is so true that is absolutely true that's what's happening is in that's why i for example try and watch fox you know but when i'm in the car i listen to n.p.r. on the radio which is you know quite a progressive station because i want to remain kind of in contact with how the other side thinks and i do believe that we you know we need to respect each other i think donald trump does respect people he gets along with democrats quite well on a personal basis he's from new york he says what he thinks is very boisterous about it and i think people misunderstand that i want to we're going to come back to that hopefully later on i want to talk about you

first this four page memo now if you watch fox it means something and it means something big you watch c.n.n. you might not even hear about it is this a partisan thing or is there is something they are there to be honest we don't really know yet do we i mean you have fox which is building it up as explosive scandal as bring down the obama administration is going to connect obama to the d.o.j. to the f.b.i. to the clinton campaign that they were spying on trump they were surveilling they were surveilling trump and you have c.n.n. m.s.n. p.c. who are saying there's nothing there i mean the the only thing you can really do is release that memo and glenn greenwald is calling to release that memo a lot of news a lot of people from toulon assad's everybody saying we got to release the memo because we don't really know laura ingram said on our show that there's one democrat who has read this memo which is located some secret room for classified information one democrat while all the republicans have actually gone through that memo and they're shocked and that's a quote they're shocked at what they

pursuing to take away the attention of this memo if you go to the three networks or m s n b c or or c.n.n. they don't lead with talk about this memo they talk about trump once thought about firing miller it's the saturday massacre all over again it's attempt to deflect deflect from the real news which is this thing which i expect in short order we will see what's what and i think i do think some other heads will roll you know just because you know it's interesting you know the non news event is news i mean what kind of world are they living and i know what kind of way actually they live in a very intellectually corrupted moral world that's what i think here in a legal you had christopher ray came out of his office and kind of wandered up i guess it was to the capitol and he looked at this memo here and reports say that he was surprised or shocked i don't remember the exact world word why in the world. the head of the f.b.i. surprised about material that the deal way in the f.b.i. gave to congress i have to wonder what's going on with the head of the f.b.i. if he is shocked and we all are

well c.n.n. of all places i mean they're based in atlanta they love to basically bring conservatives especially trump conservatives on their network and give them a bashing if you will that that's that's their that's their mode of operation they love to bring them on and lecture them about what's wrong with trump and the american people judging by the ratings don't care much for it well what do you think the state found and i actually apologize for his comments in fire in fear i mean do you think that it was damage control mode you think it was actually misquoted and i think he was misquoted and i think he also was quoted i think if you look at this book this is the biggest bout of fake news we've seen in a long time they quoted the fact that donald trump didn't know who john boehner our former speaker of the house was he played golf with him he was the speaker of the house for four months when trump began his campaign so i think steve bannon if you look at what he's really doing here the agenda

and c.n.n. and they're terrified of this memo i mean watching them go blue in the face but what about national security what about what about this it's times felt i mean they don't even want i mean i thought sunshine was the best cure here i mean that was an old liberal mantra at least way i was growing up ok i mean they want to continue to live in darkness where they bring the public with them every single night go ahead ha well there's a reason why fusion g.p.s. and buzz feed are being sued by three russian bankers and entrepreneur i think trumps lawyers suing fusion g.p.s. . the. it was complete nonsense and it was a fantasy maybe bill clinton's fantasy who knows it was complete and utter nonsense gossip hearsay derived from russian sources so so the collusion is actually the d.n.c. and hillary clinton purchasing the dust for around nine million dollars in fees to the law firm that clinton used. the congress should ask for an itemized report to find out how much was actually paid for this non

are looking at alternative sources and they are basically discounting everything that they see on c.n.n. or read in the new york times or in the washington post and it's kind of impossible to have a sort of coherent political discussion about where we go from here when not everyone agrees what the what the facts are and i think it's really posing a huge problem for democracy and one of the places we saw that was earlier today in senator jeff flake speech where he talked about the necessity of truth for a functioning democracy. and just briefly professor. this is all happening against the backdrop of the muller investigation special counsel wrote looking into russia's alleged interference in twenty sixteen election what are you expecting from the testimony for instance of steve benen formally trumps closest adviser and could that threaten the presidency. it could and i think the big question to ask right now is what's bannon's attitude about revealing information either to congress or. to muller before a grand jury i think a lot of people have been assuming that bannon is resisting effor

you're supposed to you're supposed to just just relax you'll be ok listen to c.n.n. no no we're not talking if this was a very very limited investigation of whether the trump campaign and trump himself colluded with russia whether five or six years ago president putin woke up one morning and said you know what i've done all trump is going to be president someday so let's set up this whole chain of events to entrap him in a way that we can manipulate him and make him our puppet this is what the whole thing was supposed to be about and now we're talking about an interview with trump and mueller to talk about whether there might have been obstruction of justice when he fired komi as a previous speaker said very well he had a right to fire all these people and he should have that was probably his big mistake he's all.

reporter with a microphone says c.n.n. in front of them and give them talking points so what we do is we have a false name of last background story maybe for instance we might set up. a website for job seekers and try to recruit people from a certain company or force a certain company and there can be in thinking they're talking to a recruiter and join in a conversation and give away information we may go meet them in a bar be it just happen to be next to them since sitting in a bar we have lots of ways of making friends and then being introduced from one person to another and gaining information we've done hundreds of stories and not one of them is of been proven to be other contact your doctor. meantime nothing to do with out the stay was social media facebook post has led to the capture of one form a japanese gangland boss who been on the run for more than a decade. are going. to go.

and yet within twenty four hours of her speech the host of c.n.n.'s reliable sources brian lara claimed his sources say she's actively thinking about it even misquoting her long time partner stedman in the report our report which is at the time of this broadcast not been corrected but it doesn't matter does it the washington post posted no less than thirty articles regarding an oprah presidential run including such headline gems as oprah could run oprah could win is america going insane or coming to its senses or the oprah in twenty twenty talk is proof of our democracy is degradation and my personal favorite oprah might run for president we did the opposition research for you right you get in there and destroy her character and human value all in the name of your moral purity right leaning publication the federalist is so panicked at the very notion of a rich black woman with a strong personality running that they think we should abolish the presidency of oprah when it runs in the intercepts that he has done proclaimed oprah winfrey for president as

them told c.n.n. to. join me every week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sport i'm show business i'll see you. it's the cradle of jazz. this is america is the america we have. to know of this jazz feeling. a city of climatic contests trophies of alligators on the loose of poverty and crime already used by the at least twelve members a mob found close not heard of street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans itself it was the best place in the world. the show didn't come via the police so that's just six. mile by risk it's all the premium charge idea wallace doesn't hear so much of. that right. i got. to appreciate what toughens next you have to understand wish it yes you can sort. this four thousand kilometers apart and suppose into someone here from this pos to be eight russia oh my god i was there joy in looking good to see so i just go by something like good to see a much to know the predicate. ok yeah sure how you been saying. yeah not

back to iran and you know when i don't really learn much from the news ok at all ok and that goes for c.n.n. m s n b c fox ok i love the jimmy dorsey alter i love the jimmy door show i learned a lot from you guys but you know what i do learn from the mainstream media as i learn these words like trigger and micro aggression and i always find it so curious ok because trump is that cues to being a trigger for this sort of trigger for that but it seems to be the mainstream media is just one huge trigger that goes off once in a while and we go through an entire cycle of people crying and beating their fist and beating their chests and you know how can this happen to our country who is i mean it i just thought you know what are they all dishing for something because i just find it you know where's the nooses and then i try to change the channel and it's the same thing on the next channel just a different face i mean what is this what corporate culture has gotten down to i mean is it getting to the point what's the oldest man that could cry the loudest now on public airwaves ok this is what it's g
