paul: and what's your advice to those of us in the press corps if we really want to do our job which to the american public what's going on? >> i'm old-fashioned. be neutral, be accurate, be fair. i've got to tell you, paul, i think because of bias and self-selection of who goes into reporting, it's too liberal, too culturally un-understanding of much of america, and i don't think this current press corps in the mainstream is capable of do that. paul: and that gives an incentive to the white house to use alternative means which they're using on social media, and that's part of trump's secret, is it not? and every president from now on is going to use social media and other mechanisms to go over -- >> and every president since richard nixon has tried to go around the mainstream press corps. there's so many better ways for a white house to do it -- paul: did you do it? >> oh, of course. we would talk to local reporters in local cities, you call the minneapolis reporter, des moines directly, you go around the washington bureau. paul: thank you, ally. pleasure to have you here. when we c

. >> what kind of relationship do you want with the press corps? >> an honest one. >> what does that mean? >> it means they've got to do their job. i understand it. and i truly believe this. i think the press is part of a healthy democracy. that's what separates our country from so many around the world. i traveled the world when i was the assistant u.s. trade rep. and you would go into some countries and watch how they interact with the media. and some days i liked it. it was what makes our country great. you've got far left, far right, independent, freelance people, media papers, online blogs. it's a beautiful thing about our country. you can say what you want. but i think -- i also don't want to just let facts get thrown away and get stories written and, you know -- when i'm up there, i'm a liar. when they do it, it's a correction at the bottom and they go, sorry, we didn't call for comment, or what we meant was. i think there is an unbelievable double standard. when the administration doesn't fully explain something, we're liars and misleading.

the ninth corp was on the baxter road and it would've been hard to do that. demi have chamberlain's claim that a friend from bowdoin college who commanded an artillery battery was in chamberlain's line of sight as he -- as darkness fell upon his eyes from his near mortal wounding. twitchell was north of the taylor, north of the baxter road. --as in the nineth ninth corp and there was no way he could of seen as he lapsed into unconsciousness. we have a pretty conclusive case substantiating the fact that chamberlain's attack was in the vicinity of the baxter road. he was attacking toward and a little south of salient. some of his regiments might have gone on to the southern edge of the horseshoe. this,ving accomplished one might ask why anyone would care about a single brigade in a single engagement on a single day? my answer is if history really matters, it should be accurate. it can't be accurate if you will ignore the terrain and skip primary sources and rely on the work of others for historical research. brigade isthe single not attack alone. the story of j

why would president trump give a darn about how strenuously the white house press corps, what are they going to doegative on him, howie? [laughter] give me a break. >> well, given the relatively low opinion in which the president-elect holds the press corps in general -- lou: and vice versa. >> -- i'm sure he would shed zero tears in the press corpses has to relocate somewhere else on the white house compound. it's almost like an initial skirmish to see who has the upper hand in this continuing warfare or between the two sides, lou. lou: and this, as you wrote about on foxnews.com, this idea, this herd-like sort of coa lessens around the -- coalescence around the idea that donald trump somehow has messed up the transition, has blown it, how in the world could that even, i mean, how could this herd -- which is so carefully follows presidents and presidents-elect -- get such a screwed-up and wrong opinion? >> because journalists are addicted to polls, and the polls do show that president-elect trump has the lower rating for his transition than bush did, than obama did, than clinton did. but here's t

corps. all right, so what do you make of that? the press corps acting as the opposition party?scott: you object strenuously. >> sandra: i said it reminds me of "a few good men." >> scott: i have been in that room as well, very small. and it has been there for quite a while. probably time to modernize it. so on the one hand i think the statement that the press corps needs, he says, yes, yes, we will fight it. we want access. it is about access. it does about the ability for the press corps to leave that area and go walking up the steps to bother the president's press corps whenever they want. get information, poke them, prod them. and with all due respect, they have to earn that. they have to earn the right and the ability to do that. >> sandra: this will raise questions of transparency, another big change in the way that we see the white house. >> meghan: my take on the cyst that donald trump administration has a level of respect for different generalists that are outside the press corps. they clearly have a different level of respect for local journalists and people from diffe

and the press corps would all agree that it is not what you do. we do not interrupt the president. what really matters here is the credibility and the value of the information coming from the white house. the information coming from the white house. what really matters is if the american public is fully and accurately informed. you heard sean spicer disputing some of the elements of the falsehoods and where they are coming from. how are you approaching covering this president? is this president different from terms ofpresidents in his approach to information, and the media and how do you as a reporter they are deal with it? >> i have only covered obama and this president. and there -- with president trump, there is a lot of smoke and you are trying to sift through it. in terms of the bombastic language about the media and we are the opposition. the accesspare back we have had to this president -- it has been very traditional. and even more so than president obama towards the end. what point -- there is a that president trump likes us that and away. -- button to away. uttoned away.

do that. thank you very much, press corps.ck. >> let's get a check on your weather now with bill karins. at least it was nice driving to work in the dark. you could see some stars. >> yo -- yes. some areas haven't seen the sun in a while. enjoy today. you will not see a lot of it after that. the inauguration forecast is a little iffy. the rainfall in texas is now in the southeast and will move up the mid atlantic. yesterday, we had horrendous flooding in the houston areas. this is from the thunderstorms yesterday at this time. the line of thunderstorms hadn't moved much. it's in louisiana and central louisiana. in mississippi, you need an umbrella. heavy rain throughout the day. heaviest rains in the purple and red, 1 to 2 inches from the tennessee valley. let's break down the timing for the d.c. area on friday for the inauguration. 9:00 a.m., cloudy skies, mild, no problems whatsoever. as we continue, 10:00 a.m., 11:00, a.m., the green is light rain, the yellow steady rain. this does not look like a big rain event. the timing

so he created a press corps to do that. he changed the definition of news. why is this important? why am i starting with the penny press? i want you to keep this in mind. whatever newspapers say their objective is, it is actually to make money. that's the real motivation. keep that in mind as we switched years a little bit, ok? the other thing that you need to know about this time period to understand this rise of a new type of female journalist was you need to know about gender norms in the 19th century. what did people think about gender and what it meant to be a man versus a woman? there are two important ideas. one is the notion of separate fears for men and women. the ideology was that men's work was public, important, for men, and that women had other attributes and qualities. a were natural caretakers, and the two spheres should be kept separate. men were assumed to be naturally more intelligent, active, in charge, aggressive. women were assumed to be better at raising the children and running the household. obviously at this time, women could not vote. their education oppo

. >> he said two weeks ago, without trust from the press corps, you don't have anything. do think sean spicer comes outs and correcting some of the falsehoods. how do you move forward in his relationship with the white house press corps. >> they have got to repair the relationship, i think you could sty that he's been furious at the unfair treatment of his president, the new president of the u.s. this is the real tension that has exploded. i think there's a broader issue at play. will we be able to trust the data, the facts of this administration? >> obviously all governments, all administrations spin and try to present the best possible narrative. this data about the metro that was untrue, data about the crowd size that was untrue, sort of basic facts, it sort of makes you wonder if his approval ratings decline, if he will believe those polls. this is only the second day of his term, that's one of the reasons why there's anxiety among the press corps. >> this is a statement you're told to make by the president and you know the president is watching. >> by the way, sean spic

you don't just do realism nor do you constantly turn your military into the peace corps with guns and send them forth into the world and do only soft pow power. it's kind of an reast and you have to dial it in. not real or hard power. we're not going to negotiate with the islamic state. the long game takes you back a bit and find that balance between hard and soft power and balance between idealism, which matters deeply at its core. you have to overlay it with realism. can we do everything and carry the burden? do we want to be the world's policeman? no. i'll close with allies. we're very lucky to mav like-minded nations in europe, australia, new zealand. our pool of allies and growing pool of friends, i think, in the end, can help us ease that burden and put it in the right place. >> you've been on the front line, know how hard it is, you've looked the enemy in the eye. you also know certainly from your constituents, this country is tired of war. how do you balance that? >> i would say the moral imperative of united states foreign policy is the prosp prosperity, safety and liberty of

. >> oh, we do, from surveys in the past. the washington press corps is overwhelmingly in favor of liberal -- >> look at phil's face. >> there were surveys done in presidential elections when they would respond to them -- >> so the president of the united states will only choose reporters who voted republican or for donald trump. >> i'm saying it's easy for president obama and liberals to say we need to welcome the press corps which is generally favorable to them as opposed to trump who has had -- >> isn't there a difference between washington examiner and breitbart or a talk show host? >> there is a difference. they've been conflated. you're seeing a lot more news analysis and commentary on the front page of "the new york times." it's not just the editorial pages that you find an opinion anymore. that's the problem. >> i want to let journalists -- >> a couple of important points. one, the president-elect still calls "the new york times" seemingly on a daily basis. they seem to have good access. what's an important point, we talk about who has access t

, that's the day you guys aren't doing your job. >> now talking about moving the white house press corpsation. how do you feel about that? >> i think having the most effective, experienced, informed press corps in the world located in the west wing in position to hold people accountable directly is really good for our democracy. that kind of accountability made president obama a better president. i think that's a system worth protecting. >> here is a question. john kerry announced he's not coming to the inauguration. are there any other cabinet members from this administration or high officials that are not attending the inauguration of president-elect donald trump? >> i have to admit, i don't know what all the plans are for all the cabinet officials on friday. president obama and his wiefd will obviously be there. >> how does the president feel about that, his secretary of state not respecting the new president? >> i can't speak to secretary kerry's plans and i'm not sure what went into them. i don't know the reasoning for his decision. what i can tell you is it should be pretty obvious

do it. thank you very much press corps. good luck. >> those are no doubt the sentiments of a lot of people shared. do you think he felt the need to console the people who didn't necessarily vote for donald trump in that message there? >> i think he definitely feels the pressure of that. and also it's just a reminder again we just kept talking about how classy they are. i think it's a classy way to handle it, to you know, basically say we're going to be okay. and i think we know the president is probably a little worried. but he is not really letting on. >> we haven't seen a young family like this in the white house since the kennedy his, ri? is that correct? very young and good looking family and again, no scandals. >>> stick around, when we come back, a tough choice for cabinet members. and one that they broke away from on key policy. at bp, we empower anyone to stop a job if something doesn't seem right, so everyone comes home safely. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. >>> back now li

we want to have a healthy and open dialogue with the press corp and the american people about what he is doing to help this country and unite it but at a time when he's trying to unite and he's talking about uniting this nation and bringing people together and a tweet goes out into a pool report to a few thousand people saying that he removed the bust of martin luther king. how do you think that goes over? >> so did media invent the feud between the president and the intelligence community. >> i think you saw from the response the other day, he walked into the cia, people were hooping and hollering, giving him a five-minute standing ovation, that is -- the were -- >> [ inaudible question ]. >> there is a difference between having relationship with intelligence leaders than the people and the men and women who toil every single day in our intelligence community and it was reflected at the cia. they came there, they were so excited. there was a thousand people that applied for 300 plus seats and we ended up taking in 400 people. that doesn't sound like a huge feud. they were excited and clapping

do. i come as you know from chicago, the rough and tumble of a press corps. what he is trying to do with the press, what he has been doing, obviously -- >> how can he get up every morning as president when he has to get ready for something like the budget, something he has to figure out, and yet he gets up and hears morning joe, and somebody says something he doesn't like, he is focused on that. i mean, i'm immediately back at them, but he is president of the united states. he has to be accountable to the world and he is going to worry about some hollywood star took a shot at him that morning? >> this is what we're going to watch now. he has his new potus. >> snl is on for example, how is he going to escape thinking about that? >> to try and -- why can't he do both? maybe he will do both. i think -- why would you give up what has gotten you this far? so i think let's watch for whether he adds to it. not whether or not he picks fights with the press, we will get through this. chris, the press will get through this. we'll figure out, we'll be there, we're not go
