news and what mainstream media determined was fake news and yet you see headlines on the likes of newsweek or washington post or new york times especially the new york times talking about this reformist prince mohammed bin solomon and that he's like this were great reformist he's quite handsome so he must be reformers he looks great he's a reformist and yeah ok so you have to torture a few people to get their billions and a lot of the billionaires have transferred their holdings to mohamed bin solomon in the name of reform and this is supposed to be in. name of reform in the name reform they keep on calling reformist and yet don't even mention the fact that like when he bought this dividend she for four hundred fifty million dollars or he bought. you know mansion in the south of france from something like three hundred million dollars. almost as soon as these guys transferred money to him he bought these mansions in the south of france of power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and they fell of the mention over their heads up saudi arabia these days is as corrupt as the day i

i worked for the so should press the newsweek and public broadcasting from online as well as starting consortium news dot com and as an investigative web site. and i have to say that in all these years i can't think of a time when there has been a group thing as single minded as the one we've seen over the past year or so regarding the ukraine crisis when accepting the i.m.f. stone medal for journalism at harvard perry was clear that after the pentagon papers and watergate successive u.s. administrations devise a strategy to combat so-called vietnam syndrome using black hatted villains to cajole a war weary us public and so wars would kill maim or displace. millions across the middle east let alone us backed contra death squads attempts in the koran to exterminate the sandinistas black hats and white hats much of these same techniques used. these. continues to the present everybody's everybody now saying was good we're seeing it with. over and over and over again we're saying well yeah there are problems. there. it turned out it was much easier for black white because why that sort of

of cnn where he was previously with the washington bureau for nbc news and reporter and editor at newsweek where he rose to become the first african-american leader of a national news weekly. so, i think that we can all plac agree that race relations are in a pretty bad place right now in america. at. we can also agree that the current administration did inherit a bad situation that dit not start with him. and even if he has not improvedl matters or r made them worse, looking at the polling out of the last administration, they were looking at things in the bad place, and probably the worst since the rodney king riots in the early 1990s. -do i wonder if any of you have any thoughts on how we got here, and then how we might turn things around. >> well, the first thing that i would say is that i think that h there iser a vast difference vt the state of urban black america, blacks who live in what were once, you know, thriving sort of urban industrial cities and this is the subject of my book which is the black s community in pittsburgh from the '20s to the late '50s and early '60s whenmall c

take a look at the headline from "newsweek."americans on twitter tells iran to unblock social media during protests. what's that talking about? well, as we were telling you, over in iran they have turned off instagram, facebook you, telegram, things like that so people can't communicate. whereas donald trump, now famously is being sued because there are a number of people bad mouthing him on twitter and he blocked them. they say that infringes on first amendment right. listen, for "newsweek" to say that having someone block you on twitter is the same as a regime turning off the internet that's crazy. ainsley: they are comparing blocking one or two people or dozen people to whatever it is to blocking the entire country. like you said unbelievable. you want to hear something else unbelievable? listen to what joy behar said on "the view." >> it's not apples and apples. it's not equal. but we are on a very slippery slope in this country towards throwing item casey out the window every single day. >> we have to defend the freedom of

the "newsweek" headline from over the weekend caught my eye. trump could destroy the entire human species says yale psychiatrist who warned congress member. you are hearing a lot about mental stability on behalf of the commander-in-chief. where is it coming from and what do you have to add on this? >> first of all, this is a grotesque attack from the left and from the mainstream media who only want to try to delegitimize this president's incredible defeat of crooked hillary and his 304 electoral votes. that's all this is, another layer because of the issue of the russia so-called collusion has been completely dismantled by this president. there was none, there is none. as far as any of us are concerned of a coordination with russia over our election and our victory. president trump won his election all by himself. and so this is just more of that ridiculous aspect of what the left is trying to do. >> bill: two more topics. camp david over the weekend. fund the government in less than two weeks. do you think there are enough democrats to get on

he broke a story for newsweek in the 1980's, so he is not a republican, and he is saying -- and a lotf people are saying -- the russian thing is a complete hoax. and domestic policy and terms of fear, and surveillance state apparatus, and there is nothing really for us to be afraid of in terms of external threats because we watch those and concede with what is happening to those, but internal justification for cracking down, the russian threat that is being talked about all over the place from three intelligence agencies, where experts were picked specifically for the conclusion, it is the same thing as voter fraud and has no validity. i am not a fan of trump. i know it is a hoax the idea that we have voter fraud in this country. that is not where it is. it is electoral fraud. if you look at real fraud, if you look at the primaries and the democratic party, where there was last of the regularities, i am worried about internal threats, about people who will use fears of external threats that justify internal crackdowns. that is what i am more concerned with. there is no voter fraud, ru

>> we at "newsweek" knew about the allegations of the relationship for months.ad been talking to linda tripp. she had provided me all sorts of circumstantial evidence, including offering to give me the blue dress, although it was not clear what i could possibly have done with it to use that corroborating evidence, but once the paula jones lawsuit proceeded and it was clear that bill clinton was going to be deposed under oath and was going to be asked about this, we got closer to the story, but it was the intervention of starr that made this the political earthquake that it was. >> and eventually the cover-up that made it a bigger political earthquake. >> and the president vehemently denied that the allegations were true. >> sally, it was epic then and eventually resulted in the president's impeachment, and you fast-forward 20 years and we have a story about president trump allegedly having a tryst with a porn star, stormy daniels. the "wall street journal" reported just this past friday on an alleged tryst that the president's attorney, michael cohen, arranged a

the gate keepers didn't follow it up, newsweek spiking the story, "washington post" independently reportedestigation and the whole thing exploded. as far as politics, it showed that a politician, even a president, could survive the grossest kind of sexual, graphics allegations about a woman and led to the repeeflt special prosecutor law, ken starr was investigating the whitewater land deal in arkansas. paved the way for hillary clinton's career as well. >> martha: amazing to think the investigation was going on for 18 months before president clinton and monica lewinsky ever met. that's what the special counsel ended up hanging their case on, something that didn't even exist in the beginning when they started digging into the whitewater matter. brings to mind the way people look at the special counsel now and how wide-ranging those investigations can be. ken starr himself has had misgivings about the way it went. >> right. but also, if you look at the way the media handled it, it was like today with trump, 24/7, every single day, cable, front pages, for more than a year as the president was

relative to the piece you had in "newsweek" on wednesday, you layout how you think the president canrestructure plan. >> first of all, i think it needs to be bipartisan and the white house believes it needs to be bipartisan. i have had a number of discussions with the folks on the trump team at the white house and they are going to make every effort to include democrats in crafting this legislation. the most important aspect of this is the funding. we all know america is one big pothole. how do we pay for the 60,000 structurally deficient bridges and how do we pay for the crumbling interstate? i say it needs to be more than public and private partnerships, but we need to consider raising the gas tax which has not been raised in more than 20 years and it should be raised substantially and that would get us back to a big pot of money that we really need to address the crumbling infrastructure issues. >> can that be done, sir, though, in the wake of the tax cuts bill that was just passed? >> yeah, it certainly can. 25 states in the last three years have raised their own gas tax. they kn

joining me with his reaction to this newsweek headline american islamic forum for democracy, he's presidentser. will the president's push to stop, wait let me back up. what do you make of this news week headline? >> liz it's offensive. listen as the son of immigrants who escaped brutality of the baptist of syria, what's happening in iran, what's happening in syria, what happens in the arab awakening and comparing it to a president who has direct access to the people and may block some people who are inappropriate but yet has 44 million followers, however many and people can get other tags in order to follow him is just absurd. the president can say would can come into his press conferences and there are other things and other ways in which we have access and to compare a free system of free speech with checks and balances to a regime that has jihadism across the globe that people are trying to fight for their own rights is absurd and frankly racist in a way that somehow trivializes i think the aspiration of so many people that want to be able to express themselves. liz: how is it racist? >>

a newsweek correspondent to cover the uprising talking about the islamic republic. so the problem with the secret police but what our brothers have masterminded how to break his soul without using violence against his body. that encapsulates their approach to deal with these kinds of problems. first of all we have no idea that future trajectory of violence and opposition these are impossible to predict as a function of how the regime handle that. we could see a dramatic increase that black sunday 78 several hundred. which further revolutionize the revolution so it adds a new impetus to the opposition. long-term, in the past iran devoted more resources for the invasion force. there is more marked to internal security or close have a port and those that also forward but has never been a fraction of 1% as part of their regional activities. i don't think it will have a major impact of their activities in syria. actually see that winding down. especially over the previous month. people are demanding an end to the intervention but we are pulling back and retrenching syria
