howie: i just want to say, president trump has called for jennifer griffin to be fired. this is one of the fairest, most conscientious reporters on the planet, a former war correspondent, has done this throughout various administrations. she wasn't offering opinion. she was doing her job. it's fine for the president to attack the story. he needs to try to cancel journalists based on reporting he doesn't like. here's what jennifer griffin told neil cavuto. she said deep throat was an unnamed source. doesn't make what he said untrue. my sources are unimpeachable. why haven't they come forward? she says you can see how people get destroyed when they come cross-wise with the president. your thoughts. >> jeffrey goldberg said the reason he didn't reveal his sources, it's because he didn't want to receive mean tweets. i want to be clear about what is confirmed when someone talks to anonymous sources. what's confirmed is that anonymous sources are talking. it doesn't confirm the underlying claim. we know the russia collusion hoax was spread through numerous government officials

but a fox news correspondent, jennifer griffin, says she confirmed key aspects of the article, whichhe air on fox news two hours before what you're about to hear on her own network. >> don't you find it the least bit questionable that the biden campaign, perhaps the slowest, clumziest entity since joe biden himself, already had an ad made based on this hoax? so this is obviously coordinated. the timing is way too perfect. the questions were planned. the press are involved. it's pretty -- i have to say, i've got to give them credit for coming up with something this pretty disgusting, but that's the real story. create a hoax, timed perfectly with an ad, planning the questions in advance. you boost it on social media. if you do not see this, you are blind. >> but what we're seeing is that a reporter at that very network got similar information confirmed. so are they saying that she is coordinating? i don't think so because that reporter is jennifer griffin, now in full disclosure, rather, she's a friend of mine. but much more importantly, she is a very well respected reporter here in wa

. >> bret: john, stand by if he would, more on this story from jennifer griffin, who has her own sources, obviously, on the pentagon. good evening, jennifer. >> good evening, bret. i spoke with two senior former u.s. officials were on the trip to france, one of whom was in the meeting to plan the trip to the cemetery. they confirmed key parts of speech 26 article, but neither confirmed the most salacious allegation, that the president described the american war dead at the aisne-marne american cemetery as "suckers and losers." one former trump administration official told me today, when the president spoke about the vietnam war, he said it was a stupid war, anyone who went was a sucker. the president would often say, according to the source, about american veterans, what's in it for them? they don't make any money. the source said it was a character flaw of the president, he could not understand why someone would die for their country, not worth it to him. multiple sources say they heard the president say something similar at arlington national cemetery standing in front of general john

and jennifer griffin is an excellent reporter. the thing is these kinds of stories with anonymous sources, the whole idea that jeffrey goldberg got some sources and went with it, he has people to answer to, despite the fact he's the editor of the magazine. they still have to go through people to see whether this is val valid. is there a possibility that there are details of the story that are inaccurate? sure, we may find that out. as far as the president's denial, i don't take them at face value whatsoever. unfortunately he hasn't earned any kind of good will in that respect. >> so i think the ultimate question here that a lot of folks are asking, is this going to hurt him come november 3rd, this new atlantic reporting and what he's been saying about troops over time in his presidency. i think i can say outright that it doesn't necessarily seem like it's going to hurt any of his base support because they turn out no matter what this president says. but beyond his base with which the president has had a lot of difficulty turning o

article, te unnamed sources on his view of soldiers, some of that partially confirmed by fox's jennifer griffin, strongly denied by the president and many white house officials. here's what he had to say about the military. roll it. >> i'm not saying the military is in love with me. the soldiers are. the top people in the pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy. howie: as you said, you've worked for the national security council in two administrations. how unusual is it for a president to be scolding the nation's top mil military leade? >> well, president trump would know about the revolving door that exists between the top levels of leadership at the pentagon and the private sector, military, industrial complex. his own secretary of defense was previously a vice president with raytheon. so he does know about this issue. i think it's highly unusual statistically speaking for a president to that brazenly sort of accuse or imply that his top generals

fox's jennifer griffin reported that yes, the president did disparage veterans and didn't want to drive to the cemetery that day in france. they are going to run away from the story on the own network but fox hads it own reporting to back it up. this is one of the time when fox's reporting is important. jim, i think it puts more pressure on the anonymous sources to come forward and think about whether or not they can put their names to the quotes. let see if john kelly confirms or denies. >> what stood out to you? there is a lot to fact check there. i didn't want to see a live picture of you listening to that. as a fact checker, that was tough. >> always is with the president, jim. the president said convalescent plasma is having a tremendous impact. as dr. fauci and others have said we do not have conclusive proof that is actually effective. the jury is very much still out. we do not have the proof of the poisoning of the russian opposition figure, the nato secretary said we have proof beyond a doubt. trump said joe biden wants to shut the down and has a plan for a blanket shutdown. bi

national security correspondent, the highly-respected jennifer griffin, coming as close as-in to matching "the atlantic's" stunning reported while the president torches those who tried to help him deliver his agenda and, again, tries to talk his way out of his hateful comments about the late american hero john mccain, survivor of five years of torture as a p.o.w., prisoner of war in vietnam. he is leaving families all across this country in disbelief. tearing open emotional scars for those who should never have to consider the idea of a commander in chief recklessly and falsely labelling their sons and daughters suckers and losers for their courage and patriotism. americans like beau biden who spent a year deployed in iraq before brain cancer took his life years later. beau biden's dad, the man who wants to replace president trump, did not try to conceal his outrage today. here he is. >> let me be real clear. when my son was an assistant u.s. attorney and he volunteered to go to kosovo while the war was going on as a civilian, he wasn't a sucker. when my son volunteered and joined the uni

being engaged in what he called a loser war in afghanistan as you note a fox news correspondent jennifer griffin who has been on the national security be for a long time has confirmed she says with 2 i think these are former trump administration officials who were on that trip to france verifying the story that the atlantic put forward about the president's remarks so. we don't know from a particular source who's come out and said it openly but the trending would make this potentially believable yeah sounds like a pretty large trend as you describe it do you think though given there's an election ongoing could it have any effect on public opinion in the final 2 months of the presidential race potentially people have all sorts of things that they think about him worry about and are concerned about as they head into the ballot box but. we know that veterans. can look at present trumpet see some things that he's done for them he's encouraging signs of legislation that allowed the v.a. to better hold accountable bad leaders within that agency created a hotline for veterans if they felt their cases w

but first, here to walk through jennifer griffin's legacy is helge walker, former supreme court clerk and also sol wisenberg, harmeet dhillon, kerri sererino and also another former clerk. helge, what do you see as the most defining part of justice ginsberg's legacy. >> it has to be her role as a leader for women and law in america. there's really no way, really no way around that. she was a trail blazer for women. second woman ever to sit on the united states supreme court. she changed the world for all of us. >> obviously we're going to get into the pitch battles. before that is done, the court has become an extremely contentious place to serve on, to work at. as you defect opinions, you written books about the last confirmation battle with justice kavanaugh. but she really transcended a lot of the normal life in washington in many ways. like her buddy, justice scalia, she was a hero as jeffery said tonight, a hero to liberal democrats. >> yeah, she set a standard that we need nowadays. the ability to reach across the aisle to justices like justin scalia with whom she didn't agree w

"the washington post" reporting that fox news reporter jennifer griffin's colleagues came to her defense. trump's also losing support of a growing list of republicans, one in particular, rick snider, the former governor of michigan, a key battleground state in the coming election saying that when's endorsing joe biden adding that biden would quote bring back civility and labeling trump as quote a bully. he's just one of nearly 100 prominent republican and independent leaders who endorsed biden this past book as part of the newly formed listen con project coalition called republicans and independents for biden. i want do go back to the one time trump confidant michael cohen who's recently released from prison, the former trump lawyer has a new book scheduled for release in tuesday called "disloyal: a memoir." there's a portrait of constellation of characters president trump and calling him one of trump's bad guys and describes the president as a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man. cohen acknowledges his own challenges throughout the 432-page book and trump's

. >> you know, jeffrey goldberg is a very respected reporter, jennifer griffin from fox news also said she confirmed parts of the article, so how does that resonate with you? >> well, these are certainly respected journalists. but, you know, i'm kind -- like my friend chuck hagel, we served in the senate together, you know, one of the things that he just said in your interview, people should come forward, you know, anonymous sources are interesting, but, you know, it will never have the credibility i think for the general public unless people actually come forward or willing to do that. but again, my experience with the president, he's been extremely respectful, exactly what you would respect a president in reference to any conversation in regard to the military, you know he's come into ohio. >> governor, you certainly -- governor, i want to stop you for a second, because you know what he said about john mccain in the past. >> is i disagree with that? >> does that change your mind at all? >> john mccain, i have a great respect for, he was a dear, personal friend of mine. >> you heard t

jennifer griffin said that from fox news when she was challenged. and i trust these sources. these are people in the various rooms. but yeah, obviously it would be better if people would say -- attach their names to what they know. >> final question for you. you said something, i think, over the weekend about you expect there will be more reporting in this vein. obviously there has been a lot in the aftermath of your story in "the atlantic." >> since i said -- >> what do you mean by that? >> i mean just that. i mean, i know that there are a lot of reporters moving around on this story, people with excellent sources, people that are excellent reporters. and, you know, one of the things that you -- again, there is this surprising -- there is this shocking but not surprising quality to all of this. this discourse that trump has about soldiers, about the military, is no secret to anyone who has spent any time with him. it's no secret to the military at the highest levels. so i just know of reporters who are trying to figure out other aspects of this and i expect more reporting on
