for over a decade, ibeen a commentator on polices like huffington post, cnn. >> this is sounding lotke a joke from a comedian than an actual legit president run. >> well, this was his official announcement. he has a website glieb 2020.com, but to tell us more about what this is all about, let's talk to ben. he is with us via skype. welcome to the show. [ applause ]. >> hello, hello. >> look at him. he looks so good. >> commander in chief glieb. >> ben, most of us when we first see this think it's a joke. are you serious? are you really running for president? >> of course that's a fair question because much of my career has been making jokes and people not taking me seriously. we're in very serious times in our country. i feel like we need all hands on deck. it's 100% real. i dedicated so much of my life to politics and trying to get people to care about it from both sides of the aisle. i tried to make politics accessible. the best way to impact our country for the better is to throw my hat into the ring and put my actions where my mouth has been and try to run for president for such

ok, let's move on to our third paper, this is yours, arj, the huffington post. the day. and then you can see in the subheading with picked up that ministers have been telling the party whips who are in charge of discipline, that they will quit on monday if theresa may decides to hang around. the mail picked up on this as well. just to make clear how desperate the situation she is in now, you know, if she survives friday, it's certainly not the end. lucy, do you think — why now? why not wait until the european elections are over and then make this move? it doesn't change anything, does it? i think it's this move? it doesn't change anything, does it? ithink it's such anything, does it? ithink it's such afab anything, does it? ithink it's such a fab rather atmosphere —— febrile, the level of emotion can't easily been contained —— be contained. we saw that to—ing and fro—ing of the 19 22 committee, they decide the rules on how to oust theresa may, they went back and forth on whether 01’ they went back and forth on whether or not to change those rules to allow her to

but i thought that was okay because i also didn't read the "huffington post" either i got my news from "the washington post" and "the new york times" so i'm getting journalism and hard facts. so then i began to realize that something was happening and we began talking in different languages so to try to figure out what was going on i try to do research and instead i began interviews. journalist and producers and folks working in dc and academic experts to get my arms around what was happening. i found out the american political media are polarized but not in equal ways. we like to think it's left versus right liberal versus conservative but that is not as what is happening. there is a gigantic sphere of mainstream media including those journalists that i talked about but also perfectly liberal and conservative outlets. they operate in an ecosystem where much of the public gets their information if i would name all of the outlets we be here until next tuesday. but the other sphere is a very tightly closed noncompetitive right wing media circle that has a very specific set of outlets. th

ruling and in 2015 a spokeswoman for the former vice president responded to the article telling the huffingtont senator biden was taken out of context. the vice president is and has been a long-term supporter of a woman's right to choose. if you have a load uber reading you can get kicked to the curb. the ridesharing comedy will ban riders who miss behave but before that happens passengers have a chance to improve their rating. unclear how low a rating has dropped to get banned from the act so be aware of that. how about chick-fil-a news? nothing will stop to call a from getting you to eat more chicken even if the restaurant apparently gets hit by a car. the crash happening at a chick-fil-a in georgia. police say they were chasing a stolen car when the driver lost control. the store displaying this hilarious sign right after the crash in classic chick-fil-a style, one arrow pointing to the drivers saying cars this way. another to that bordered window saying not this way. the time 17 minutes after the top of the hour. robert mueller's probe may be over but hillary clinton is just getting starte

take a look at what he told the huffington post in an interview with him where they asked about his outspoken criticism of the president. i'm not here to represent a particular party, i'm here to represent all of my constituents and to follow the constitution. there's another bit of line of questioning from him that stands out back when michael cohen, the president's former fixer was testifying before the house oversight committee. many republicans were pushing questions about cohen's credibility, questioning whether he was a legitimate source to be testifying before that committee. that wasn't the position that amash took. take a look at what he asked michael cohen, quote, what is the truth president trump is most afraid of people knowing? some of these tweets by amash are scathing, specifically the ones about the attorney general mischaracterizing mueller's report. so you have someone who is a republican but isn't in line with everything that the president wants and it is meaningful and symbolic, but it doesn't represent much consequencely because on the other side democrats, namely house s

"huffington post" ran this lie in their front page, manafort indictment proves trump-russia collusionlie. talking about thousand and thousand reports in the opinion and so carl called hard news pages alike. they actually won a pulitzer prizes for their lying coverage of the russia collusion hoax. a dishonor for every person that deserved a real pulitzer prize for this horrible conspiratorial coverage was amplified every single day on the fake news cnn. conspiracy tv msnbc. this is but a tiny sampling. take a look. >> i think this meeting in the reservations about it are a game changer in the investigation because they present the first evidence of actual collusion. >> what mr. trump did yesterday was to betray the women of the fbi, and betray the american public for that's why i used the term that this is nothing short of treasonous. >> this is direct collusion. it's out in the open. we know this all took place. >> the notion of being no collusion? this is the biggest version of the trump crowd. there was collusion. this picture that the president is so desperate to avoid, this pictur

he was asked about the criticism back in 2016 by "the huffington post" and look at what he told them.he said, quote, i'm not here to represent a particular political party. i'm here to represent all my constituents and a to follow the constitution. another exchange that he had specifically with michael cohen the president's former attorney also comes to mind. remember this is when cohen was testifying before the house oversight he he committee a lot of republicans were pushing questions that led to questions about the credibility of michael cohen suggested he was loieing during the testimony. amash took a different route and asked michael cohen look this quote what is the truth president trump is most afraid of people knowing? so he is somebody who isn't a typical rank and file republican. and he is very clear in his values and where he stands. this is meaningful and symbolic. but let's keep in mind even when one of president trump's harshest critic nancy pelosi said the president demonstrate behavior impeachable every day but still doesn't want to pursue impeachment because of the po

we will dig deeper into what huffington post called this constitutional collision course between thehite house and congress. we will talk with nelson cunningham and gregory brower. magazines profiled two of the democratic candidates for president. cory booker on his thoughts on legalizing marijuana. he writes, how can we talk about legalization and not talk about expanding the records of people who still cannot get jobs, still cannot vote, still cannot get business licenses? we have got to expunge records. we have got to get people a pathway out of prison and take the resources, the incredible tax revenue that will come from the legal trade of cannabis and invest it in the communities targeted by the war on drugs. the time magazine cover story takes a look at south indiana mayor pete buttigieg. the magazine says this, in interviews with local residents, nearly all said the mayor had done a generally good job, although some said he had blind spots on issues affecting black and hispanic residents. early in his tenure, he fired a black police chief who is under investigation for wiretap
