mr. brokaw to appear on the factor and he declined.omeone who is not real happy with him joins us now. colonel david hunt has a new book out called terrorette. it's a pal to boston terror bombing. we'll get to the book in a moment. where is brokaw going wrong. >> everything about his statement. innocuous inexclusive for a man popular sunday morning was. >> meet the press. i'm brokaw now. i'm better looking but he says and is he not alone in this because we are using the drone to attack the leadership of al qaeda taliban because we do that. drone explodes killed and they are not the leadership of the taliban. do that. because that just makes it worse. it just angers the muslims and more jihadists sign up. that's what he said. >> first all mr. brokaw/mr. o'reilly. we are at war. and we do not target civilians. civilians have done and will continue to be hurt or killed in combat. that is a terrible ancillary combat. we are not targeting civilians. drones are saving american lives and alieuing us to prosecute this war cross border as oppos

mr. brokaw's comments, he didn't rail against the celebrities in general, he raid against they get c and d list celebrities. guys like george clooney and some of the other legitimate a listers, you're bringing in lindsay lohan, the kardashians, thought that was an interesting point. >> i thought it was interesting. in the past, you had ozzy osbourne, justin beiber. all you need is honey boo boo, that's a sign of the apocalypse i am pretty sure. where else do you get different groups, eclectic group together with people in the media. it is not to me, i am not a journalist, don't disrespect tom brokaw whatsoever, amazing journalist, i understand where he is coming from, it is one night. not on-going, it is one night. they laugh, make fun of celebrities, the comedian, the president. it mocks them being there as well. >> we're taking a quick break. we are close to the moment of truth, the president's remarks at the white house correspondents' dinner. who is his target tonight? who could be on the list, could it be perhaps a familiar foe? >> of course, the deficit is a serious issue. that's w

mr. brokaw's assessment isn't that it's gone to the celebrity dogs, so to speak, instead of bringing alland d-list celebrities. what do you make of his point, dana milbank? >> i agree with the point. i understand with what alicia is saying, nothing wrong with having hollywood come to washington it is often said that washington is hollywood for ugly people. here is a time when we actually get hollywood here in town. what i have is more of the problem with is the journalists are putting on this show and they -- basically, they are fetting the powerful, they have politicians in to schmooze and mix it up with them. i don't think that should you can our row. i have no problem with hollywood coming to town and that can be exciting to people. i just would rather the journalists not be making themselves the story. >> i agree r i know you got move on, final thing is a lot of these hollywood stars are actually politically active. here during the inauguration, active all year. so for ever -- eva longoria. >> some are -- >> honey boo boo? where is honey boo boo? >> what did you say, dean? >> where i

mr. falk with tom brokaw. very different there. different men from what can i see this. sound bite that has o'reilly up in arms with tom brokaw talking about in specific our drone policy. listen. >> i think we also have to examine the use of drones that the united states is involved in. and there are a lot of civilians who are innocently killed in a drone te'o tack in pakistan and afghanistan and in iraq. and i can tell you having spent a lot of time over there young people will come up to me on the streets and say we love america. but if you harm one hair on the head of my sister, i will fight you forever. and there is enormous rage against what they see in that part of the world as a presumptionist of the united states. >> megyn: so our viewers know when mr. falk wrote his piece he cited comments like that one that callers made calling in to npr in the wake of the boston marathon bombing. he was hopeful about people making such statements. o'reilly has a very different view. where do you stand on it? >> it goes along with what sally is talking about, the track record o

mrs. obama, my fellow board members, distinguished guests and the folks from msnbc, too. welcome to the white house correspondents dinner. the president promises obama. we thank her for being here. after last year's dinner, tom brokawd some blunt words about this dinner. he said some but will he -- he said symbolically that this is a those from separates the people they are supposed to serve. thefocus should be on what hilton is serving tonight, but who we are serving tomorrow. we should be serving the public and the next generation of journalists. and that is something i have thought a lot about since becoming president. few people know what it's like to have this much power for just about a year. other than conan. [laughter] but we didn't just talk about change. came inking our name handy. our dinner has to be about scholarships, not swag. next year, it will be the hundredth year of the correspondence association. there is a lot of history. if you have any mementos out there, some photos of previous dinners, i want you to contact steve coleman, our wonderful vice president. [applause] you can go to our website. there is a place to submit some of those memories. but remember that he will be president next year. so

mr. bennett is with us. i'm proud to announce i have never been to a white house washington correspondence dinner. both tom brokawarbara walters are critical recently of it. i don't mind the joking part, i don't care that they get together, but it seems that there's a nexus here, where the president, the media, hollywood converge. and i don't think we are -- they are getting anything done on behalf of the american people. it seems too close to me. >> it's very close. it's very close, sean. you are absolutely right. it's kind of the liberal establishment, all dressed up. i can't claim what you claimed. elaine and i have been to several white house correspondence dinners but we aren't going any more. we fell the air was a little close. you know where we were that night? we were at the catholic charities dinner. we think that was a better event. >> well, we are going to be hated, bill. let's be honest here. >> of course. you know what, when paul ryan came on the screen with his greetings, the audience burt into applause so we had a better evening with catholic charities and the cardinal than they had at the white ho

mr. bon jovi. thank you for choosing us. we are looking at south 880 where there is construction as you are heading down past brokaw. montague and brokaw closed. we don't see a lot of slowing but i did experience that as i pass through the area all the way down to 101 where things clear up. we have the northbound direction of highway 9 coming up here towards san born. there is a crash and the car is sticking out into the slow lane. this is a noninjury accident. a couple of emergency vehicles there. it is not a big road. it is cause ag slowing for the few cars heading through there. i thought i would give you a note if you are heading out through saratoga. slowing coming through the altamont pass. traditional for west 580 and a little bit more. no big drama here. even antioch, seeing the early slowdown, which is typical for a thursday. pretty gentle over towards pittsburg and bay point. san mateo bridge, a nice flow westbound. steady flow of traffic, flat section. no problems on either side of the bridge. we will look over towards the berkeley area. the bay bridge, west 80, nice spacing through the cars. still at the
