i'm a howard stern fan, so at some point i found this funny. but it is an important point.it's not unreasonable to think this has already been done at another instance, possibly by a foreign agent and it leads to you wonder what other information the president has unwittingly disclosed. beyond that, we know that there are multiple security breaches within this administration. it's not only the president using a cell phone that doesn't have the latest security precautions on it. the fact he disclosed classified information to a russian foreign minister. that he disclosed information about a syrian operation to dofrnors. people like rob porter had access to classified information for long periods of time without security claerngs clearances. this is an administration that doesn't take security seriously. >> swin, let's talk about this for a while. we were talking about the potential departure of john kelly. we're talking about the fact that maybe the president won't even replace the chief of staff. he doesn't really listen to his chief of staff. maybe there will be a communic

the high '80s of those who supported the president but he's been married three times, used it on howard stern so how did those voters come to back him in huge numbers and show up. if you read the book that salena profiled that it was a struggle and a hard price but she made a pragmatic race. >> she did not decide until she walked to the voting booth. >> let's talk that because so much of the coalition was either a sense of the overwhelming desire but something new had to be tried because nothing else had worked. in other cases it may have been a sense of desperation but i don't mean desperation and that these are people that are desperate but as brad said i'm voting for the guy that agrees with me forever and nothing has changed so what else will i do? you interviewed and talk to voters like this for years headquartered in pittsburgh were roaming around so talk to me about the evolution of voters that would have always put character first and always said to themselves there's a way i could vote for a donald trump because of the way he asked now in the way he acted before to get to a point whe

the crazy thing, john melendez knows trump from his days on the "howard stern" radio show where trump a frequent guest. melendez tells me he's talked to the president more than 20 times and even went to lunch with donald trump and melania trump five or six years ago. they haven't talked in years but said he was shocked when the president didn't recognize it was his voice on the call, a guy with a clear likely accent and not the senator from new jersey. >> he did not recognize that it's stuttering john, a guy who he's listened to on the stern show for years. i have the worst long island accent known that man. how he cannot know that is not a real senator is beyond me. it is -- it's unbelievable. >> reporter: melendez told me the roughly four-minute phone call was relatively easy to set up. he called the white house switchboard, a number he got from google, took on a fake english accent, and pretended to be the senator's assistant. the next thing he knew, jared kushner was on the phone asking what topic he'd like to discuss with the president. >> i got on the phone with trump. trump's l
