the famed former "the washington post" journalist carl bernstein, author of "a woman in charge: the lifef hillary rodham clinton" with me john avalon and dana milbank of "the washington post." you work on the opinion side and newsroom side, can you tell us how, if at all this ban has affected coverage at "the post"? >> i don't think of our readers would perceive a difference. it's a hassle to get other people into the events to travel unilaterally to enter with the public instead of with the press but they're still getting the story. "the post" has been fairly dominant in its trump coverage, i believe that was the reason for the ban, not any particular headlines so it's not really an issue for "the post." what's the rest of the industry going to do about this now, because as you mentioned he's gone after a number of news organizations, he's threatened to rewrite the first amendment, talking about using the fcc and the justice department to go after news organizations, so i'm suggesting it's time to start more the media as a whole to start taking a look at what's going on. >> we'll talk a

and neofacist according to carl bernstein. what do you say? have an administration that bent over backwards to give these people a lot of of benefit of the doubt. we were told it was workplace violence. we didn't hear islamic extremism until recently. after the san bernardino shootings, we were told about it l.a. time it was workplace violence and the government waited before they weighed in on. that there is going to be a backlash among the american people when they see this and they say, wait a minute, who i am going to believe? our elected leaders or lying eyes? i think donald trump is expressing that frustration and is expressing that outrage with what he said in new hampshire. >> all right. stay with me, everyone. we need to take a break. what's it like to be in good hands? man, it's like pure power at your finger tips. like the power to earn allstate reward points, every time i drive. ...want my number? and cash back for driving safe. and the power to automatically find your car... i see you car! and i got the power to know who's coming

i got an interview with carl bernstein who was the head of abc's washington bureau. he said you have a very interesting resume that i don't see journalism. i became abc's house producer with charlie gibson covering the hell went to o'neill was the speaker. ronald reagan is the president. cokie roberts is covering the hell. wasn't that the best time? being aull circle from witness to history to now covering history. it was a great time. roberts: the friendship of tip o'neill about michael. and bob michael. the parties were not so ideologically sorted in those days. you had liberal republicans and conservative democrats. we had differences between the parties but they weren't strongly ideological. it has turned it into a parliamentary system. roberts: john mcconnell, you will with bill proxmire but then you went into a republican administration. thing.art and head ban tell us if you are always interested in politics and government. john: i was always interested in politics from the time i was a little boy. when i was growing up in wisconsin in a remote fishing village

carl bernstein, john jay luval, who was on the conference call, republican strategist, and trump supporter jeffrey lord, who also was on the conference call can you just -- some of major reporting that's been on it? do you agree with the general framework that's been about the nature of the call? >> anderson, whether i'm talking to donald trump or my next door neighbor, if somebody says keep this in confidence -- i feel they deserve this. but if i can get right to the quick here on this. i've been writing for years about the racialization of the bench. i wrote a column in september -- back in 2007 -- or 2009, rather. about then supreme court nominees judge's business about the wise latina and that she had salted her speech as a federal judge, saying how important her race was to her decision making as a federal judge. and in 2001, when miguel estrada was nominated by president bush and there was something saying he was especially dangerous. because he's latino. my point here, anderson, is that this has been going on, inh encouraging judges to make decisions according to their race has been

this mass shooting in orlando, carl bernstein is joining me. nice to see you, sir.ts on the tone and substances on both the speeches today, both donald trump and secretary clinton. >> first, i thought trump was predictably abhorrent and terribly, terribly effective in a way he hasn't been until now, that his speech will appeal to independents, even some democrats and certainly republicans because hillary clinton, obama and the democrats are very late to acknowledge by name that there is a real threat of islamic terrorism in this country and all over the world and they have been very reluctant to use the word islamic terror and it's coming back to haunt them. >> what about hillary clinton? she says this is not about semantics. >> i think she's got real semantic problems and that it comes very late in trying to parse things at this point. the important point that barney frank, the former liberal gay congressman from massachusetts made today is that the left and the democrats have got to start acknowledging the problem of islamic terrorism, call it for what it is and c

here to discuss, carl bernstein, cnn political commentator, author of "a woman in charge: the life ofm clint clinton. "and a former communications strategist for dr. carson's campaign. good evening, gentlemen, thank you for coming on. you just heard white supremacist and extremist groups are being energized by donald trump. why do you think that is? >> well, first off, let me just say, you know, the white supremacy groups should not be out there advocating for donald trump and his policies. they're abhorrent to begin with. getting to your question about in terms of the rhetoric that's out there, i think what we're seeing is that, you know, this constant effort by folks that are used to traditional candidates wanting a candidate like donald trump to speak a certain way. and so when donald trump sits there and says that, you know, america is under attack, that we need to close our borders, that we need to actually take a look at the visa program that is getting us into trouble with having extremist terrorists coming over, that is the kind of language that you hear at the kitchen table.

you know, at least twice on this show carl bernstein has called for the press -- essentially, don't try to compete with them in interviews. you're not going to beat them. just do dogged journalism. do investigative journalism. do biographical journalism. the kind of journalism bernstein did, of course. that's what he's been saying. i think one of the reasons he went off at this press conference was because of the journalism that was done about his money for veterans. "the washington post" really, really pushed him on it and did old-fashioned, real journalism. drew griffin, i think, is breathing down his neck. if you saw what he did on the va, you know how much that's got to worry somebody. and i think that was exactly the question from abc, sounded very precise, the first one you played about how much money. you said this, but this is what we have. that's what gets under his skin. he can run circles around any interviewer in the business, although jake tapper gave him a real run for it on friday, and i was really happy to see that. but this is what will get him. if we continue to do it.

carl bernstein, thanks very much. >>> how the trump effect could affect several senate races.g to hold on to their seats. one of them senator john mccain who acknowledges he's in the fight of his political life and later, have you seen this video. it's chilling. watch this man caught on surveillance, goes and just tries to snatch this 8-year-old girl straight from her mother. it comes up in just a minute. we'll play it all out for you. how this ended coming up. i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual. he said sure...but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean! oral-b. know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush. (vo) on the trane test range, you learn what makes our heating and cooling systems so reliable. if there's a breaking point, we'll

surrogate, executive director who supports hillary clinton and back with us journalist and author carl bernsteinton as early as wednesday, what impact do you think that has on sanders? >> i think if sanders loses california, he has very little room to maneuver. there's only one question left, and that is about the server. we keep seeing time bombs with the server. the only way sanders can be the nominee is if super delegates move towards him because there is such fallout over further bad information about the server that they might be tempted. the thing about the server is that her conduct is indefensible and she hasn't been truthful. and her people -- people who favor her -- know this. they worry what she has done here is give donald trump a possibility of becoming president by her conduct with the server, and that's the worries. >> you're a sanders supporter. how worried are you of obama coming out, the president coming out and endorsing hillary clinton? >> let me say one thing because there have been some things that have been conflated here. there will be no clinching tomorrow. nobody clinch
