[wheel squeaking] [heart monitor beeping] ( cheers and applause ) ( band playing ) >> stephen: welcome back, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) folks, i'm excited. my first guest tonight is an emmy award winning journalist and host of "anderson cooper 360." please welcome back to the show, anderson cooper! ( cheers and applause ) ( band playing ) all right. so, anderson, hi, good to see you again. >> hello. always nice to follow a rain of p. >> stephen: we have to follow the stories any way we can. >> you guise are doing real news. >> stephen: thank you very much. did you see real news tonight? don't try to steal them for cnn. you guys are the fake news. >> the original fake news, according to the president. >> stephen: we'll get to that in just a moment and your fakeness. but house of your weekend? >> my weekend, you know, it was fine. it was weird, though. the president started tweeting at $650 something, a.m. >> stephen: 6:35. yeah. ( laughter ) i had flown to phoenix, and i have actually muted the president on twitter. >> stephen: you can do that? yeah. you know when you get annoying people tweeting you, you don't want to delete because that tells them you deleted them. if you just mute them, they think you're still following them and you don't actually see their tweets. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: then the tweets can get backed up and you get an infection. ( laughter ) so, you muted him. >> i muted him. i go to phoenix. i was spending all weekend working on this story. i wasn't aware of all that was going on. i get back sunday and finally turn on my phone again and i'm like, what the -- what?! what?! and arnold schwarzenegger, too? ( laughter ) >> stephen: i just want to point out you are a real news man. i watch you every night. i believe your work. i believe you report the news in a very fair way and accurately, and you just said that you mute the president of the united states. ( cheers and applause ) what he says, which leads to my next question -- >> i mean, look, i have people following him so they tell me -- i just don't want to have that drama in my life. >> stephen: that drama! you have to accept that he's president. >> of course, i do. i have great respect for the president, i just don't need to follow him on twitter. >> stephen: you wouldn't have muted ike. >> listen, i have friends with main. i can't i don't want them to have my private line and be able to call me. i don't want the ups and downs in my life. i want to be callum. >> stephen: i don't think i have that. >> no one actually does have it. >> stephen: so how do you as newsman, a correspondent for "60 minutes," as it were -- had the to throw "60 minutes" in there. you can't just say i was in phoenix. i was in phoenix for "60 minutes." yeah. ( laughter ) >> stephen: how do you judge on what to report on? there is more basis to the schwarzenegger tweet than the obama tweet, why isn't the schwarzenegger bigger news? >> i guess his ratings were not as big as donald trump's were. >> stephen: grea sad end to a gt show. >> saddish sad. ( laughter ) the reporting on the tweets, i think it's a large distraction, i think that's clearly part of what he was doing. >> stephen: is it pure distraction? >> no, it's like a seismograph, this is like a real-time seismograph of the inner workings of the president's head and it's fascinating. an emotional size mo grasp. he's like a live wire of emotion. we had to wait for decades to hear nixon on tapes. we hear donald trump realtime. usually people try to keep the president cloistered and not before the public at all times. he breaks through. >> stephen: whoever pries the the phone out of his hands takes saturday off. >> the "the washington post" wrote an article you quoted at the beginning of the show and part that i found funny is you quoted a part where the president said afterward he felt better later on in the day. it actually talked about him need ago release. he gets angry, it builds up, needs a release, feels better, then gets angry, then needs a release -- there are many other forms of release. >> stephen: doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs. >> yeah, well, there are things you can do. >> stephen: i wouldn't know, anderson. hands are too small. ( laughter ) let's get to the fake news thing. say what you will about cnn, over the years, it's not like you were raving ideallogs over there. >> we're fair and accurate. >> stephen: balanced? i believe that's trademarked. >> stephen: are you surprised you guys are the bad guys as opposed to msnbc? >> the thing, is donald trump watches cnn, which is why he talks about it so much because he actually watches it and even when he's railing against it, he's watching it. i've had him watch my show and tweet about people i'm interviewing while i'm interviewing him. oh, that guy is a joke anderson cooper is interviewing, what a waste. things like that while you're interviewing. >> stephen: surprised he said that. i've never been on your show. ( laughter ) ( applause )3 you know, what about -- does that change the way you report your show, knowing the president is watching you guys at cnn, do you try to get a rise out of him? >> no, you do your job. you want to be tough and -- i mean, look, i didn't have a great relationship with the obama white house. i used to interview president obama on the campaign trail, before he became president. i spent two months in new orleans doing the b.p. oil spill, and the white house stopped talking to me for years. so i didn't have great relationship, i didn't veally have any relationship. i also don't want to have a relationship with these people. i interviewed kellyanne conway a couple of weeks ago. probably maybe my last interview with her ever, i don't know. ( cheers and applause ) no, i'm not saying anything bad about her, i'm just saying i haven't interviewed her sense. it was supposed to be a 12 minute interview and ended up being 26 minutes. at one point in the interview, she said to me, we may have to re-think the relationship we have. i was, like, we don't have a relationship. i respect you and stuff, but i don't want to have a relationship with you. i don't want to be friends. i don't want to hang out. i don't believe reporters should be going to parties at the white house. >> stephen: what about the correspondents dinner? >> i went once, i'll never go again. >> stephen: when? when i first got to cnn. you know. >> stephen: i think it's great. it was a wonderful night, people ready to laugh. >> right, exactly. that's the thing. for comedians, it's got to be awful. it's like the worst bar mitzvah party you have been so and there is tough to get so you have to wait to get into the party. >> stephen: let's break real news here. you tweeted this -- this is where were you and why wasn't i invited? >> i instagramed this observe my vacation. i was in myanmar at an elephant sanctuary. it was my vladimir putin moment. i was washing an old elephant. >> stephen: exactly. putin's only on a horse. you're on an elephant. >> i wanted to one-up putin. it was an elephant sanctuary. it was elephants who have been abused in the timber trade their whole lives. you get to eat them and -- not eat them -- you get to feed them. ( laughter ) >> stephen: we just made some news. anderson, thank you so much for being here. "anderson cooper 360" airs week nights on cnn! back with judd apatow! stick around!
