sarah: thank you very much. lastly, this week is set aside each year to honor those across our country who wear the badge. in the spirit of police week, i want to read a quick letter from samuel of san antonio, texas, that he sent the president. dear mr. president, donald j. trump, last year i raised about $375 for our police. i went down to make -- to mcdonald's and bought $75 $-- 75 $5 gift cards to the police officers could get coffee and lunch. it would be really cool to meet you. i wish i could vote for you but i'm only 11. my mom voted for you. i listen to yuck talks and the i -- to your talks and i went to he inauguration and saw you. samuel was adopted by his family in guatemala. he's incredibly grateful to be an american. and he's very grateful to all of the law enforcement officers around the country. the president is very proud of samuel and believes our country needs more young people like him who give back to their communities. he's a really, really great kid. it was great to meet him. with that i'l

>> sarah: i don't know.ou have to ask the mayor. >> reporter: followup to jeff's question. rudy giuliani commented publicly on the north korean hostages. are they involved in the efforts to secure their release? >> sarah: not that i'm aware of. >> reporter: why are they commenting on it? >> sarah: you'd have to ask them. i don't speak for people on the outside. >> reporter: is the president concerned that the justice department may have had wiretap to gather information about communications with his personal attorney? >> sarah: i'm not sure about the claims of that report. you'd have to talk with the department of justice and the president outside counsel. >> sarah: when he learned of the reporting that michael cohen's phones were wiretapped? >> sarah: i haven't talked about that. i can't verify the validity of the report. >> reporter: back to the payments question, how many payments did the president make to michael cohen after the election? :00 you have to ask the president -- >> sarah: you have to ask the

sarah: on to other news. harvey weinstein has been arrested and charged with rape and other sex crimes. that is after he turned himself in new york. a manhattan court has released weinstein after he posted bail of $1 million. he also has to wear a monitoring device. while the case proceeds more than 70 women have accused weinstein of sexual misconduct. reporter: arriving at a court in new york, hollywood's most famous power player turned riot. -- pariah. charges include rape and sex crimes. prosecutors described as an abusive position. >> deliberate analysis of evidence. that investigation reveals that this defendant used his money, and power to fear -- learn young women into positions where he was able to buy like them sexually. reporter: outside the white house, his lawyer said he will be exonerated. the producer has always claimed the never has had sex with any of his clients. >> we intend to move very quickly to dismiss these charges. we believe that they are constitutionally flawed. we believe that they

sarah: mr. president, sir, did you screen those projects in the economy stimulus package before you sent them to the hill? the republicans are saying there are so many things in there that are totally unnecessary. i cannot believe that you sent those up there, and maybe somebody did it for you. [laughter] sarah: the golf course is in there and swimming pools and statues and even a project on studying the religion in sicily. pres. clinton: no. let me say -- [laughter] daye: sarah's career to becoming a journalist was a series of advancement in her job. women were not hired as news reporters in that era. "well, i will just start one of my own." she was not tied by national syndication saying well, you cannot talk about that, or you cannot say that, and her behavior was not questioned. she could do what she wanted, because she was on her own, and that allowed her the freedom to look at an issue from more than one viewpoint. sarah mcclendon was born in this house. she was the ninth child of sydney j

here is sarah sanders. >> sarah: since the president's election, more than 3 million jobs have been createdhe president's historic tax cut, deregulation and pro-growth policies are creating jobs and restoring confidence in america's economy. on another important matter, the white house has been in close contact with the state and local officials in hawaii since the initial earthquake and volcanic eruption. the president continues to monitor the ongoing situation. fema and the white house encourage all individuals and potentially effected area to monitor local radio and tv stations for updated emergency information and follow the instructions of state and local officials. the "new york post" said today that c.i.a. acting director gina haspel has headed four c.i.a. stations across the globe, been a senior official in the c.i.a.'s russia operation, held several top roles in the division, responsible for covert operations and post-9/11 was a senior level supervisor in counterterrorism. the "post" further noted her integrity and her political impartiality are unchallenged. she deserves quick con

sarah couldn't say.ked sarah how many payments there were to cohen in the days after the election. she also referred that question to outside counsel, steve, but these questions aren't going away, it's clearly an increasingly political, larger political problem, for the white house. steve? >> yeah, and danny cevalos, let me bring you in, sarah huckabee sanders saying rudy giuliani didn't hurt the president legally or any other way with those comments last night. what's your sense of that question? >> if sarah huckabee sanders is adopting the rudy giuliani view of this case, from what i can tell last night, rudy giuliani is essentially retreating into the position that the payment that trump made, that he concededly apparently made, whether funneled through intermediaries or not, is not a campaign finance issue at all. it's a personal payment for personal reasons which is a valid defense to campaign finance law allegations. however, the -- there are a number circumstantial evidence. not the least as which

certainly sarah sanders will be asked about this at the white house briefing. in the white house's response on this remark, the white house didn't apology, didn't deny the remark but simply said they were praying for mccain's family. the question is what are they going to do about it having this staffer here. this is another self-made crisis by this white house. this is something that any other white house this person would likely be fired within a matter of hours, but the question is is this something that would get the president's attention. the president has also made disparaging remarks about senator mccain before, certainly about his time when he was a prisoner of war saying he preferred people who did not get captured. a lot of things do stem from the top. that's a question here. i'm told from people inside the white house is the comment isn't really the subject of discussion behind closed doors. this morning they cancelled the morning meeting so there was no discussion about that remark. that was the same meeting that she made this remark in a few days a

sarah huckabee sanders came out . . said this was inappropriate. the white house correspondents dinner knew what they were getting into. howie: do you see the same selective outrage and commentary? imagine when barack obama were under a special counsel investigation. when we see conservatives and liberals switching sides and some of the outrage or defense of the president that they have expressed. >> we know for a fact they will switch side. we saw that with president clinton. they said it's just sex, it didn't hurt anybody. now we are seeing the same talking points on each side except they are flipped. howie: "saturday night live" did a stormy daniels skit and did not use an actress. >> it's just an act. >> i work in adult films, we are not known for our acting. howie: should we remove any last pretense this program is virulently anti-trump and not about comedy. kat: it's not as funny because of it because we know where the jokes are going. the punch line is going to be the president is an idiot, the president is a liar. the people watching it and

sarah mcclendon was born in this house. she was the ninth child of sydney junior and annie mc clendon. she had eight brothers and sisters. mrit was a political family. clendon thought of a group, was a postmaster, and with the chairman of the democratic committee for many years. was afe, annie, suffragette, and sarah can remember her going to and is "vote for women," look of a dining room, and i think about her parents talking about local, national, international events, so they would know. the breadth of what they read i think means that they were open. they did not have one particular idea about the world and life. they opened themselves up and took on a lot of different. this was a very eclectic reading family. they just did not look at murder mysteries. they ran the gamut. they did have a lot of different books subject was. susan: i was told -- i first started working in washington, i would have to ask the international questions and things like that. difference of what people want to know about and things like that, so

what do you make of sarah's response to her? >> look, i thought sarah did fantastic today. the fact that we're talking about sarah not making a bunch of news, and that's actually driving the news, i don't think is necessarily a bad thing. i mean, the fact of the matter is, this white house should have had and this presidency should have had an outside counsel that was handling these types of issues a year ago. this is not the job of the white house, this is not the job of the white house press secretary. sarah does a fantastic job every single day -- >> that's not true -- >> no, it is true. sarah does a fantastic job putting forth information -- >> no, it's not true, i've been there 21 years and i remember impeachment with bill clinton. >> april, why are you making it personal? >> spin it the way you want to spin. >> wow, april -- >> she attacked me. she attacked me for asking a question, don't go there, honey. don't go there. >> you're like the fifth person to jump in and try to make -- >> bill clinton's attorneys -- >> april, let me finish -- >> i'm not going to let you s

go ahead. >> thank you, sarah. why didn't the president disclose the reimbursement to michael cohen in last year's financial disclosure report? just to follow up on those questions on north korea, has any consideration been given at this point to potentially canceling those joint military exercises with south korea? >> on the first question, that was addressed within the financial disclosure. that's something that would be determined by white house counsel, how things would be categorized in the filings. on the second part, those are ongoing exercises that are routine and they're aware of, they're annual. at this point, we have no intention of changing. >> i just want to ask you because so many people in the country have been talking about it. what did the president mean when he said some immigrants are not people, they're animals? >> the president was very clearly referring to ms-13 gang members who enter the country illegally and whose deportations are hamstrung by our laws. this is one of the most vicious and de

we are going to sarah huckabee sanders.arah: he will meet with families of the victims from the tragic stool -- school shooting from santa fe high school to offer condolences and support. shortly, the president will host the white house sports and fitness day with a number of activities on the south lawn including flag football, baseball, volleyball, golf, soccer and track. the administration is committed to highlighting the benefits of youth sports and reversing declining participation rates through the development of a national strategy. as the mom of three preschoolers i support them burning as much energy as possible and i think sports is a great way to do that. lastly, special happy birthday goes out to my nephew thatcher who turns 1 today. happy birthday, thatcher. with that, i'll take your questions. jonathan? >> now that trey gowdy who has seen all the classified information on what the f.b.i. was doing says there is nothing to the allegations that they were spying on the trump campaign. and, in fact, trey gowdy say

>> thank you, sarah. why won't the u.s. -- [ inaudible ] serial human rights abuser and is responsible for the recent death of an american college student? why is that the morally right thing to do? >> again, the goal and the purpose of these conversations would be to have complete and total denuclearization of the peninsula, and the president has been up front about that part of the conversation. and we're going to continue to move forward. >> just a followup. sarah, really quickly. >> sorry, i'm going to keep moving because we're going to be short today. major, go ahead. >> you talked about preparations for the summit. can you describe for us how the president himself is personally preparing? who is he working with? how much time does he devote on a daily basis to get ready for the underlying themes, questions and difficulties of a summit of this magnitude? >> as you all know, he spent a significant amount of time meeting both in person and having regular phone conversations with other world leaders lik

sarah sanders was treated horribly.he correspondence association invited her basically enter their home for dinner and she was personally, viciously attacked. i think it is unlikely the president will go -- part of me -- and i think, i've spoken a lateral partner to say that the association played right into the president's hands and that he is why he was outside the beltway, and inside the beltway, you have these elites, you know, beating up on sarah sanders. i think it was a big, big mistake. >> if i can, ed is right. if this was a celebration of what the media thinks it's a celebration of the first amendment, he to see how they celebrate the fourth of july. there was no invocation, they gave cnn award right off the bat on debunked information, they attacked the comedian -- made derogatory comments about the tragedy in the southwest airlines. the vile, disgusting language they used about abortion victims was just so out of hand. i think what yesterday was the exposure of what really is the problem that exists right no

b >> sean: by the way, sarah, kellyanne, they took it with incredible grace, especially sarah sandersight there. this so-called performance was so bad, so mean-spirited, even the association's president regrets over wolf's remark and some in the mainstream media, even they called out this so-called comedian. take a look. >> i think the comedian crossed a line. this went from poking fun to being mean-spirited. it was very uncomfortable. i think that sarah sanders handled herself very well. >> the dinner is supposed to be about journalism and not the red carpet, not the mean-spirited jokes that we saw last night, some of those i really thought were inappropriate. >> this dinner has had a lot of bad moments. thinking back, as i was watching this cringeworthy performance in some respects going after the appearance of sarah sanders, which i thought was inappropriate. >> i really thought the pain of the people on stage, when sarah huckabee sanders was being made fun of, everybody felt pain for her. she felt pain. it really bothered me. i know there's a big controversy about whether or not h

press sarah and her team worried about next day. peeking around the corner next si -- ainsley: april ryan accused of sarah huckabee sanders not making pecan pie. yesterday april ryan was taunting the white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders accusing heller of playing street politics. listen to this and we will get your reaction. >> you said yourself you were blind sided. >> i actually didn't use that term. >> i said it but you were blind sided what you said. >> with all due respect you don't know much about me in terms of what i feel and what i don't. >> what it shows me is that she was feeling that she was in a vice of sorts. she'll went straight to me to say something like, you know, you don't know me. in certain sectors of this nation, people understand what you don't know me means. it is very street. and it leads to a fight. a physical fight. so i'm not there to fight. i'm there to ask questions. ainsley: in a vice of sorts. and if it says you don't knee me that means you are going to get in a street fight? >> april ap

asked with that, sarah sanders says that he adds value. declined to say anything about anything about anything about this. she is out of the mistress hush money payment commentary business. and she -- last week she tried to play along with the press and to talk about these issues in a little bit more detail. she is not doing that anymore. all questions automatically go to, you know, the president's personal attorney and the spokesman and then everythishe like rudy. and remember rudy said i'm getting up to speed on the facts, i'm about halfway there. that was on national television yesterday. so it is clear that he is putting out all sorts of information that is changing, that is damaging to the president's case. potentially legally, definitely politically. and it is also clear that sarah sanders is not looped in on these things the way that you would expect the white house press secretary to be. so she is caught between a rock and a hard place. it is not a sarah sanders problem, it is a rudy giuliani problem and a president trump problem a

let's see what sarah kendzior to respond. first i would like for you to put your position in of his parents and his community, what it's like to see the body of somebody you love left on the street and unable be seen and the grief you might feel. i would like for you to reflect on that. in terms of trump's trade policies, in terms of politicians being greedy, i agree with you, everybody is greedy, i think that we have too much money in politics, that's a problem affecting both parties. i definitely don't think donald trump is the solution to that problem. i think he, in fact, you know, emblematic of it. >> you're on book tv with author sarah. >> good afternoon, good evening. how are you? i read a -- let me back up, first and foremost he did not win the general election, he lost by 2.9 million votes, an oversight on your part. secondly, that call, the previous call is exactly why these people voted for him. you say that there's a purple america but there really isn't, black america, white america, there's a number of other ame

reporter: thank you, sarah.ant to ask you about the reprieve, eu, canada and mexico are receiving, this 30-day reprieve on the tariffs for imported steel and aluminum. what is going to take place during this 30-day period and what are the chances of that exemption being a permanent for the eu, canada and pecs co? >> we are extending those negotiations because we've seen some progress. i'm not going to get ahead of what that may look like but we have 30 days to continue in those negotiations and hopeful at that we can get something that works for everybody. reporter: if i may, i just wanted to ask you about something that took place last week involving the president's personal attorney, michael cohen. he in court documents asserted that he would assert his fifth amendment rights in the stormy daniels lawsuit which was filed against both him and the president. you may recall that in september of 2017 the president at a campaign rally said the mob takes as hit, -- if you're innocent why do you take the fifth amendm

reporter: thanks, sarah. two questions, one about the lawsuit filed by california and 17 other states over their right to have epa fuel standards in cars. fighting the administration on this. i wanted to know what your response was to the lawsuit and also the broader question that this administration seems to be on the other side of the traditional republican argument on states' rights on a number of cases. is there any apprehension internally about having such a heavy hand with the states? >> certainly, the administration supports state rights, in regards to the specific lawsuit, we're reviewing that and let you know when you have a statement out. reporter: the second question about the nra meeting this week. americans say this is an insensitive time speaking to the nra given the epidemic of violence that the president talked about himself. what's the administration's response? why make the decision to speak at the nra now. as the president said before, a lot of presidents have not spoken at the nra conventi

>> thanks, sarah. what leverage does the u.s. have in regard to having this meeting take place on june 12? and, two, that meeting taking place what leverage does the u.s. have over accomplishing the american goal of denuclearizing the korean peninsula? >> secretary sanders: we're continuing the maximum pressure campaign. again, nothing has changed on our end. this is an invitation that north korea offered and that we have accepted and we're continuing to move forward in those preparations. steve? i'm sorry, i'll keep going, we're tight on type. >> i want to follow up on that, what's the north korean also announced they're stopping the dialogue with south crow a. is it possible that there could be a meeting between the united states and north korea if that whole dialogue between the north and south is on ice. >> secretary sanders: the meeting that would take place on june 12 is between the united states and north korea. should it take mace. we're going to meet with president moon next week. and beyond t

sarah sanders can't speak to the timeline because we have to go to the outside counsel. we're told by rudy giuliani that this money was repaid. michael cohen at least from what i've seen as of 3:04an time today has not confirmed that repayment. at one point he was saying he had to take out a home equity loan. david, is it your sense we're ever going to get a real answer on any of this? >> well, maybe eventually through the case that is against michael cohen in the southern district of new york through investigation there. weep m we may get some answers from it. i don't expect answers from the white house podium or clean answers from rudy giuliani about this. you heard a lot of questioning in the briefing room today about the president in his tweet referring to that as a month live retainer, but how could month live retainers throughout all of 2017 and perhaps into 2018 with the theory that it is paying back that money, how could that have happened and then donald trump says he doesn't know anything about the payment and sarah sanders says he had -- no payment was made wh

reporter: sarah. said earlier when you were giving answers around this general topic you gave us the best information you had at the time. now it appears your position is you will not comment because it is ongoing litigation. have you been advised not to wade into this to protect yourself from any potential legal exposure by giving false information or information that proves later not to be able to with stood in court? >> no. i always advise against giving false information as a person of human decency i do my best. reporter: jonathan's question earlier you say before you gave the best information at the time -- >> i do that today. reporter: it turns out not to be correct or accurate, are you then trying to limit the liability that you may enyou counter by not dealing with any of those questions now and pushing it all off because you say it is ongoing litigation? >> again i'm giving the best information i have. some information i am aware of and some i'm not. when i can answer i will. but, beyond tha

sarah sanders has a serious problem.as to go out there and not only play defense every day, but now people are wondering, and that's kind of like what you have to do as white house press secretary, but now people are wondering, well, what were you saying when you said the best argument or the best whatever you were saying. you know, she has a huge credibility problem. i think that's a problem. inside the white house, everyone is wondering what's going on here, why didn't we know about this, why were we caught off guard so it's a big problem for them. >> this just feels so different from the typical the white house is in disarray story, because this gets to what i think "the wall street journal," rupert murdoch owned, more conservative-leaning editorial board argues this morning and it's this. trump is compiling a record that increases the likelihood that few will believe him during a genuine crisis. trump should worry that americans will stop believing anything he says. what is the danger here? for the american people, w

is this sarah sanders failing in her job or sarah sanders doing her job?tion she has at the time, which then continues to change based on the giver of that information, the president. >> but erika, she's speaking on behalf of the president of the united states. if she can't verify what she's going out with to that podium is truthful, accurate information, she shouldn't be speaking about it at all. that's not the case here. she spoke with bad information because we are now learning it was not truthful when she walked out there in march and delivered those answers and i thought she was clear in acknowledging that today. >> if you look at -- nia, the question is where do we go from here in terms of information and being able to trust anything? >> go back to day one with sean spicer, right, blatantly going out and telling a falsehood about something really small, right, crowd size. and from what we could tell, he was basically sent out there by the president who was unhappy about the comparisons of his crowd size to obama's crowd size. so this is a book end ev

sarah sanders: the conversation is going to be focused on denuclearization of the peninsula. that is what the ongoing conversations taking place now will be centered on, as well as the summit that will take place in singapore. we will continue as long as that is part of the discussion. we will continue to shoot for june 12. nick: this on-again, off-again diplomacy has been hard to keep track of. last thursday in what read like a breakup letter, donald trump canceled the summit, citing north korea's tremendous anger and hostility. but the north korean response was conciliatory clearly mollified the president -- "solid response to my letter. thank you." tonight secretary of state mike pompeo will renew acquaintances with kim yong chol, who recently saw in pyongyang. it is their third meeting in two months. the main stumbling block is what precisely is meant by the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the two sides have very different definitions. and the latest cia assessment is pessimistic, that north korea has no intention of giving up its nuclear weapons, but rather, it

that's one of the things we are going to ask sarah sanders about. one of the headlines though i think from giuliani that remains is the fact that he says the president reimbursed michael cohen for those payments. that's significant because, of course he denied doing that. now in a conversation i had with mayor giuliani, he said the president found out about a week ago that those payments were going to stormy daniels when his lawyers informed him. so it was striking to hear him sort of reverse that over the weekend. i think the broader point here though, katy, is that you're seeing a legal strategy that is very different from the one that we witnessed just a month ago when ty cobb was leading the charge. john dowd. this is a legal strategy that's more aggressive and in which rudy giuliani is much more out front. typically we didn't hear from the president's attorneys. now he has made a round of television appearances. as you pointed out, a number of legal experts say that could ultimately hurt president trump. we'll have to see if that is the case. b

dana, you're a moment, sarah sanders is a moment. when that child in the back asked that question and it was hard to hear, you got the sense of the question regarding school shootings and how is the white house keeping me safe, that moment of humanity in that briefing in sarah sanders having a tough time keeping it together answering him. >> yeah. it looked like it was going to potentially be a light-hearted moment going to a young reporter and he had the toughest question in the room because of who he is. he is a young person who said basically i'm scared to go to school because i don't want to get shot and that's what my friends feel. and, you know, sarah sanders is, you know, as they said a mom of three and i can't imagine having to take that question from a young person who is expressing the fear that frankly young people around the country are feeling every single day unfortunately, going to do the most basic thing, going to school. now obviously there are and should be criticisms of the inaction of this administration, of this

>> thank you, sarah. given the terp -- turbulent situation in italy right now is the administration monitoring it as well as the devastating effect it appears to be having on the markets in southern europe? will the president consider strong intervention in that situation through the i.m.f., have much as the previous administration did with greece two years ago? >> sarah: italy is one of the closest allies and we look at working closely with the new government after it is formed. with recognize europe is come prosed of great nations and they can choose the own path forward. i don't have anything about the united states specific involvement but we are continuing to monitor that and stay in close touch with the allies. jennifer? >> the extension ends again soon and when do you think you will have an announcement next? is there a chance for another extension? >> sarah: i will keep you posted as we get closer to the date. >> would you clarify the comments about trey gowdy? there is still cause for concern. me

sarah, another question that sarah faced repeatedly was does this attitude come from the top? would this aide have said something like this if the president did not feel this way, specifically about john mccain, but feel free to say these things? do you think the president created that atmosphere? >> i think that's too speculative. we have said rude and tasteless things in private that we regret. we don't know what exactly she was thinking. once the story is out there, explaining is a loser. you shouldn't try to explain. say we're sorry. we live in a different world. 20 years ago this never becomes public. the new environment is a national story. >> i don't know if it doesn't go public. there were other white house staffers in the room. some versions of the report say there were congressional staffers. there were enough ears there -- there were enough people in the trump white house who have tied to republican administrations and to john mccain who i think would have an issue with this. >> what's striking to me is obviously this was a closed door meeting. it wasn't a public ve

she was interested but not sarah. it took them a while to convince sarah to join the union. sarah, the three knew there would be no possibility for the union to take place without sarah joining and agreeing to this. they took a page from jane >> he made a lot of money by managing their shows. he married the daughter of a local innkeeper and that gave him a foot into the door in the southern world. the twins met the sisters at the wedding. they were very impressed and interested. chang fell in love first with adelaide. addy was interested, but not sarah. it took them a while to convince sarah to join the union. the three knew there would be no possibility for the union to take place without sarah joining and agreeing to this. they took a page from jane austen's "pride and prejudice." in that novel, when elizabeth bennett first turned down the marriage proposal from mr. darcy. until, one day, she visited his estate and she talked to the servants and everything. she realized she made a mistake and maybe he is a very good master. looking at the house, how well-managed it was, th

>> reporter: thank you, sarah. i want to ask about the reprieve that the e.u., canada and mexico are receiving. the 30-day receive for tariffs on imimportanted steel and aluminum -- imported steel and aluminum. what will take place in the 30-day period and what are the chances of the exemption being made permanent for the e.u., canada and mexico? >> we are extending those negotiations because we have seen some progress. i am not going to get ahead of what it may look like but we have 30 days to continue in the negotiations. and hopeful we can get something that works for everybody. >> reporter: if i may, i want to ask about something that took place last week involving the president's personal attorney michael cohen. he, in court documents, asserted that he would assert his fifth amendment rights in the stormy daniels' lawsuit filed against both him and the president. and you may recall that in september of 2017 the president at a campaign rally said the mob takes the fifth. he also says if you are innocent, why ar

>> thank you, sarah. elections are over, and it's very clear that the two big winners, the two top vote getters were the party that was linked to melcada el sader, someone aligned with the iraqi party. the second party was aligned with a warlord that was once backed by iran. it puts the u.s. having either of those individuals as the key player. >> i'll start with the fact that i'm glad you said the names and not me because i probably wouldn't have gotten them right. in terms of policy, we don't have any new policy announcements with a potential change there. >> you don't care if either of them -- >> certainly we care, but i don't have any specific changes in u.s. policy while that's happened. >> sarah, what does the united states expect out of negotiations today with china on trade, and what are the president's intentions on helping or changing a policy toward chinese companies' zte? >> those conversations are ongoing. when we have something from that, i'll be happy to share it with you. right now those a

what is on the trump administration's billion-dollar cost-cutting list sarah, what is on this? what are some of the takeaways? >> thank you for having me. we have on this list about one third of the cutbacks come from department of energy program and that is a pretty big deal and there's some in here and some of these programs that u have been repeatedly on the top block and it's money that has not been used in a while. the leaders in congress have been looking at it to use for offset for legislation that includes clean energy (as well as a loan program that goes towards technologies from vehicles in both of those have been in frequent targets of spending bills in the past and it is unclear right now whether the white house will have the support to go ahead with those but there is also about half of the money that comes from the cutbacks is from the children's health insurance program. on its head it doesn't sound that great. the republicans go after the sloan and help but on the face of it and cbo the nonpartisan budget office has confirmed that thactually none of the funding

tell me about the exchange you had with sarah? >> first to the big question, ali, which is does selly sadler, the staffer here, who made those comments, essential saying john mccain's vote, he is quote, dying anyway. does she still have a job? one of my colleagues asked that question. sanders dodged initially. i went back and asked again. she was brief. she said yes. then i asked her, basically, does the president bear responsibility for the tone here at the white house. of course in the past he has criticized matter in mccain. that goes back to the campaign trail. he said i like people would don't get captured. he is a p.o.w. someone regarded as a war hero. a lot of people thought it was going to be the end of then candidate trump's campaign. he went on to win the primary. the two men have had a fraught relationship. listen to my we to sarah huckabee sanders. >> does the president bear responsibility for the tone set in this white house tmplg president as i mentioned just a moment ago supports all americans. if you look at what h

sarah: my name is sarah leu. i am the edwin forrest curator of performing arts collections here at the historical society of pennsylvania. but prior to that i actually worked on several sports collections that we have here in the archives. and i am overall just a giant sports fan. [laughter] let me introduce you today to our panelists. here to my right is lindsay sarah krasnoff. she is a historian and writer who has written on a range of global sports for news and sports media outlets. next to her we have tom bogen. tom was raised in bringing 10 -- bring them 10, new jersey and currently serves as the associate vice president of student affairs at boston college. before that he worked at villanova, where he also taught in the history department developing courses about sports history and global sports history. on the end here we have got frank fitzpatrick. some of you may be very familiar with him. he is a native philadelphian and has been a philadelphia inquirer editor and sports writer since 1980. he has been t

the big difference was a sarah huckabee sanders is sitting there as a staffer. that was a moment for the presss corps to do the right thing, to treat her with respect for coming there and being in a very difficult position. instead, they bullied her, they went after her, they tried to mock her. the american people watched, guess what? it was probably a good night for the conservative movement but i still think it's a disgusting display of the press being biased. >> i just think people are looking to manufacture anger and indignation, this is an opportunity to feed the grievance industry. >> laura: juan, when you make fun of an abortion -- >> i didn't like that. i'm just telling you -- >> laura: that's it. when you do that, when you're capable of that, you lose it.ra that is ridiculing people's face. >> laura, let me just tell you, she went after ted kennedy for chappaquiddick -- and murder. >> laura: oh, that's original. something else we want to look at, why journalists thought this was a laugh riot, coming up. >> it's 2018, and i am a woman, so you cannot shut

his latest piece sarah huckabee sanders just basically blamed trump for misleading her.ng about today is fascinating the last 24 hours. the press briefing was fascinating for those ever us who watch it all the time. sarah huckabee sanders started using a phrase over and over again which she does and it was all about, i give you the best information i have at the time and that's what i will continue to do. in other words, when reporters are saying why did you lie to us, she kept on saying, it is an the best information i had and finally admit that had she didn't know about this until last night when everybody else found out. >> right. and this is not a quote that she is new to today. she's actually said this before. most recently after the rob porter fiasco in which the white house offered a number of contradictory statements about what had just happened, i think the difference in this case, though, is that in rob porter she was talking about other white house aides. in this case she was clearly talking about information that had been provided to her by the president. she

now sarah sanders. here's the problem, anderson, when you as a white house press secretary begin to lose the faith and trust of the reporters in that room, it is very difficult for you to continue to do that job. as i was watching sarah's performance today, it felt as if her credibility was crumbling right before our eyes. if the bet answer she had today is i'm giving you the best information i have, i think our viewers are smart enough to figure out at home, that itself not telling us the truth. it calls into question this day forward and calls into question a lot of things she said in the past as to whether or not she's giving us the straight story. >> that is why, not only did she reveal this during the briefing today that she found out about this last night, this repayment last night. but we heard from a slew of white house officials all over the white house that they were simply blindsided by all of this. they didn't see this coming. they didn't know what rudy guiliani was up to. >> this wasn't som

by the way, the press versus sarah sanders, you don't want to miss it. tonight angle, next. you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. ♪ mr. elliot, what's your wiwifi?ssword? wifi's ordinary. basic. do i look basic? nope! which is why i have xfinity xfi. it's super fast and you can control every device in the house. [ child offscreen ] hey! let's basement. and thanks to these xfi pods, the signal reaches down here, too. so sophie, i have an xfi password, and it's "daditude". simple. easy. awesome. xfinity. the future of awesome. >>the press versus sara sandser >> laura: the press versus sarah sanders, that the focus of tonight angle. yesterday, the white house press briefing turned into a total feeding frenzy on spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders. the white house press corps is up in p arms over the discrepany between what she told the press previously that the president had no knowledge of the payments made to stormy daniels, and what rudy giuliani revealed this wee week. >> if you are in the dark, i think it's a fairly simple

. >> thank you, sarah. and i will make an effort to the private counsel and i will address it publicly and if you can answer. do you know if mr. cohen, would address or if the president was aware of the payment or marketing himself. >> i am not aware and i refer you to outside counsel. >> the president promised to drain the swamp. does it he that is appropriate when his personal attorney. >> i am not weighing in. >> you are the press secretary and based on what you know and revealed in the past 24 hours, does the president think it is appropriate that the personal attorney sold assets. >> we are not engaging in matters in this process at all and i refer you to outside counsel for going to do with michael cohen. i will give you a couple. >> did the president take any action to benefit the at&t air space. >> not that i am aware of. >> and if iran pursue the nuclear weapon's program. would they have administration's support. >> i don't know if we have a specific policy announce: but we are committed to making

of course we have sarah huckabee sanders. we are graced with sarah's presence tonight.ave to say i am a little starstruck. i loved you as aunt lydia in "the handmaid's tale." if you haven't seen it, mike pence, you would love it. every time sarah steps up to the podium, i get excited because i am really not sure what we are going to get. a press briefing, a bunch of lies or divided into softball teams. it is sharks and fins and this time don't be such a little bitch, jim acosta. i actually really like sarah. i think she is very resourceful. like, she burns fact and then she uses that to create a perfect smoky eye. maybe she was born with it, maybe it's lies. probably lies. sure what toreally call sarah huckabee sanders. is it sarah sanders, as it sarah huckabee sanders, is a cousin huckabee, is it nancy huckabee sanders? like what has uncle tom done for white women who disappoint other white women? i know. ann coulter. we have our friends at cnn here. welcome, guys, it is great to have you. you guys love breaking news, and you did it. you broke it. good work. the most u

i don't think the white house meaning sarah sanders needs to apologize for something. this is not something that the president said or did or the white house in an official capacity did. this was something that a staffer, a specialist said during the meeting and she felt bad about it and she did the right thing. she apologize. i don't think it was said as a joke. they were talking about the nomination of the new cia director and they were bringing up different things from a communication standpoint. someone brought up the fact that the senator had not been in support -- essentially saying what difference does it make because he is not coming to d.c. to vote yes or no. so we don't have to worry about responding to the senator. >> that is not what she said. >> but in a flippant remark, that is what she meant by that. as he lays there in arizona. that is not the case. >> okay. so a, she is paid by you and i, the taxpayer's money. she is a representative of the white house. she is a special assistant. so she does represent the white house. she represents the white house st
