hughley grew tired receiving advice from white people like megyn kelly, he wrote about it. he's here to discuss his new book, "how not to get shot." >>> but first, in the president's ongoing quest to put america first, he's torn up a lot of the ways in which the country has done business. today an 850-foot-long ship will be christened here in philadelphia, the largest container ship ever built in the united states made by hundreds of union workers. on the other hand, jeters just warned the commerce department nat another wave of tariffs could force the company to raise prices, scale back its business and cost americans jobs. i want to know what you think of this question at smerconish.com. even when opposed by american multinational corporations, is president trump's trade policy in the best interest of american workers? joining me now is peter navarro. he's an assistant to the president. he's director of trade and industrial policy. he's the director of the white house national trade council. he just wrote this piece in "the philadelphia enquirer." buying american can help

but it was that mind-set that megyn kelly expressed is why these things keep happening. no matter what we see, we're going to ascribe it to -- we will blame 12-year-old boys in cleveland for having toy guns and being shot down. it's that mind-set that allows these things to happen. and my goal was, how can i see -- how can i show them what i see and let them see it in a way that makes them -- that they're less threatened by. >> you deal with that which you most often hear from guys who look like i look when there is one of these shootings like just comply with police orders. don't talk back. or my favorite, and i've said it. i've got to admit. i've said it. don't break the law. >> sure. yeah. we have courts for people who break the law n jails for people who break the law. police aren't -- they're supposed to bind you over for trial but ultimately, we're saying we'd rather have policemen who decide that you not complying with them is a death sentence. i don't think ultimately that's what we would like in a society. i think when you look on the face, it seems absurd to sa

megyner kelly's shoe was a former sentologist who apparently worked with tom eccruise'surity detail. show and claimed scarlett o johanssonne of the actresses whoit audned to date tom cruise. essentially the files were accidentally sent to his printer and he was looking through them ande saw one of the actresses he recognized was scarlett johansson. she's denying this claim from megyn kelly's show that therm er scientologist had said she told the hollywood reporter "the very idea of any trson auditioo be in a relationship is so demeaning. i refuse for anyone to spread the idea that i lack the integrity to choose my own relationships,an only a akaou brendan ty w come up way crazy story like>>hat ." i would have to agree. >> kind of insane. >> a little out there. >> auditions. >> but when would that have been? was that back when hed ma katie -- >> from the article that i read it was following his divorce from nicole kidman but that doesn't make sense because he was with katie holmes. i need to research that. real quick moving on one of th-- this is a new photo of leonardo dicaprio in th

it looks like threatening everyone from megyn kelly, who if you'll recall after the campaign after a republican debate michael cohen retweeted a tweet that said "we can gut her," referring to megyn kelly. he would go after people like that. but also smaller targets. people like tom wattic. a person we spoke to. he was a student at harvard who pulled a prank on mr. trump during the campaign, and he got a phone call from mr. cohen saying essentially that hey, i'm going to try to get you expelled. i'm going to sue you as well. so there was no target too big or too small for mr. cohen. and what we really get a sense of, right? is it was michael cohen's job more as a lawyer for donald trump or more as a fixer. someone who was willing to do almost anything in terms of legal threats to solve problems for mr. trump. >> there's also a little bit of new news. my understanding of the timing of when he sort of threatened stormy daniels or when he reached out to her or when that nda got signed. >> in the story what we report is that michael avenatti is making this allegation that michael cohen us

is that where -- [ laughter ] >> no, megyn kelly went on -- she went on a rant about santa claus being mother loved it because you know -- [ laughter ] alright, so -- by the way, it took me two hours to convince my mother i wasn't in isis that day. i swear to god, my mother, she's like, "why did you join isis, dammit?" no, mom, mom, i'm 57 years old. i'm on the road, i'm trying to do a tour. [ impersonating mother ] of all the things i was watching my fox news and they said that isis is terrible. i go, "mom, i'm not --" [ laughter ] alright, so it was as crazy, as crazy as you would imagine. and it got so crazy i really did start to think, "i've got to make this funny." and so someone named jim carrey called me. [ audience oohs ] don't be such an ass[ bleep ]. ooh, sell it, sell it, sell it. >> seth: oh! wait do it again. >> so anyway, jim carry called me. [ gasps ] [ audience oohs ] >> oh, my gosh. and the reason i bring that up is that i don't really even know him that well, but sweet of him to reach out. and he said the greatest thing, he s goes, "kathy, you are the most famous come

i was on megyn kelly's show before my trial talking about it. wasn't corrupt intent? what corrupt intent mns is that you are trying to get something out of it. there are lots of cases which the government has prosecuted were someone says i will get this money for you and then i want to be appointed judge or i will get thinet i want my business to get a tax break. this is what the law calls quid pro quo. the essential definition of corruption. when there is no corrupt intent and a first-time offense as in my case and when the amount involved is quite small, $20,000, there is case in the history of the united states where somebody was indicted, prosecuted, locked up for eight months, sentence to psychiatric counseling, given probation for five years for this kind of an offense. it is unheard of so it suggests that these guys were trying to, se ways, carry out a vendetta for what i had said about prent obama. criminal justice reform is badly needed. said i wasasically not a very self reflective man and he w me by ordering me to undergo mandatory psychiatric counseling. t

that contentious republican primary debate, he tweeted someone who said "we can gut her," about megyn kellys host. and a harvard student said he got threatened by michael cohen, threatened to get him expelled from harvard or to file a lawsuit against him because he pulled a prank on donald trump. so this is part of a long pattern and a history. >> just to be clear, did he know you were recording the conversation? did he know you were on the record? >> he knew he was on the record. what's really interesting about this is that i reached out to the campaign for comment. i didn't expect the lawyer from the trump organization to come and call me back. but he did and what you hear on npr.org is a seven-minute audio clip of our conversation. >> what did you do? you were calm through the whole thing and you kept saying, do you care to comment? what did you do, though, tim, when you put the phone down? >> i started writing up a transcript of our conversation and getting ready to put together a story. it's not uncommon to get hostile calls from folks when you're writing about politics. this one did s

trump megyn kellying it clear the u.s. will no longer play the role of sucker to greedy allies to the critics the inspector general's report vindicated hillary clinton that her campaign was the campaign of james comey's decisions. to president trump the report fully exonerated him from charges of obstruction of justice and collusn. finally to the ess critics, the jailing of his former campaign manager paul manafort was more evidence of the conspiracy and collusion with russia and to president trump it was a tough sentence. what about comey and crooked hillary? very unfair, he tweets. well, some of the president's assertions this week are debatable, others are flatout false. first of all the ig report did not exonerate it. the focus was on the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and not the mueller probe and though despite president trump's claims it's not a democratic bill that's separating the families at the borr it's trump administration policy enacted by the attorney general. still the president spent the week feeling

d in his counter-programming to republican debate that he was ycotting because of the feud with megyn kelly of facebook news. so trump used his foundation to collect the money that came in during that veterans fund-raiser and then he used it to give away moneduring his presidential campaign event. what we know now from looking at what thettorney general found was that the president's campaign was not only benefiting fr t sort of the goodwiat came with seeing him giveaway this charity's money, thegn camptself was telling the charity who to give the money to. there are e-mails from trmp campaign's manager saying, give this amount to this charity and this amount to this charity and do it on this day before he has a rally. trump's foundation, supposed to be independent, became a tool of his political campaign. >> nawaz: the president responded on twitter. ued trump foundation also iss a statement alleging political motivation for the lawsuit. the statement said, "this is politics at its very worst." d it's worth pointing out that the previous sta aorney general, eric schneiderman, resigned amid

everyone from megyn kelly who asked testify questions of donald trump at a republican presidential debate to smaller fish like a student at harvard who tried to pull a prank on donald trump and got a call from cohen threatening to try to get him expelled from college. we have people from a former miss usa contestant, univision with a lawsuit launched against them. this is part of a long history and pattern of michael cohen making legal threats in order to try to fix perceived problems for his boss. >> how effective were the tactics? >> it's hard to say, because a lot of the time we don't know who's been silenced by the threats. a lot of these things are kept hidden and behind the scenes. that's why the audio is interesting. we get a sense of how in private michael cohen likes to operate and how at least at the time the trump organization operated. we have this reporting in which michael avenatti, stormy daniels' tells us, hey, when michael cohen got her to sign the nda, there were threatening, coercive language used at the time too. it really feels like part of a larger pattern. it's hard
