eight is the equivalent for the bit business media what the iraq war was from that for the washington press corps is the national story of the last seventy years so the parallel is fair you could further extend the analogy a little bit to think about the idea this concept of being embedded and that the press corps itself was sort of imbedded with a particular narrative. that has its origins are on wall street i don't think that analogy is out of whack at all. there was one more factor in this you in the media covered because it was about the media about the inclusion of nearly three billion dollars in advertising revenues from dodgy lenders and credit card companies between two thousand and two when the housing bubble took off until this crash in two thousand and seven. thankfully the entire industry became predatory predatory like criminal. yet deceptive marketing and mass as a as a function of. it started in america and is now everywhere some say the united states has infected the world with a kind of financial aids. the people who these mortgages was sold to. a large majority of these people w

and still to come of this are putting pressure on the press. corps to police flex their muscles of the media telling news groups they have a responsibility to hand over riot footage of the looters to help make arrests. and the russian village is a guy no we look at why people are fleeing the rural areas leaving desolate fields and crumbling causes where thriving communities once stood. the victims of russia's deadliest terror atrocity have been remembered in the town of those laws where over three hundred thirty people mostly children were killed in their school this week thousands of people paid their risk. thanks to the victims of the attack which happened seven years ago hundreds of balloons were released in a symbolic display to the murdered children and the other innocents who died the terrorists held around a thousand people hostage in the school for three days without food or water. and how do you lose sixty billion dollars american taxpayers are asking just that question to military auditors who've admitted that's how much money has gone miss

of those records and i think as this campaign progresses, he'll be under intense pressure from the press corps opponents to release more and more of those details and he has a long record, raised a lot of money, we saw it pop up in the last debate where it became an issue how much money he took from merck. he has a lot of money over the years and people are trying to dig in, did donors get favors from his administration and people are continuing to dig in, ken vogel, investigative reporters, that's their job. >> some of the records uncovered show that donors travel with him, they went to the bahamas, state money was used to rent scuba diving gear and there are loose rules in texas. >> very laxed ethics rules, donors can give unlimited sums in many cases to both the governor and to his family and that's why people want to know, you want to piece together the decisions made because they're in the right interests of texas or were decisions made because they helped donors and every single presidential candidate goes under the same amount of scrutiny. governor romney went through it last time, will

meteorologist i spent time with the press on a background basis and rarely got quoted and i was in a position to help explain the administration policy to my friends in the press corpe-president it wasn't and it was a conscious decision. i made a decision i would not run for president myself and i would not worry about what people in iowa would say about my conduct as vice-president and it is also true i was staunch advocate and controversial policy likes the terrorist surveillance program and enhanced interrogation techniques and out of deep conviction that we needed those to succeed in the war on terror and i am proud of those policis and i can't talk about those either and the net result. the press felt neglected by me and it was not that i didn't care for the press, but i was more discreet. >> chris: i was watching your interview on the today show i don't know if you are aware of this and look how it ended. >> thank you for being with us. >> mat, i have enyoyed it ♪ >> chris: investigate cheney. what do you make of that? i somehow doubt if hillary clinton or obama was speaking they would have taken a hot and sudden low a person with a sign put it up. is there a

and report on earlier there was a general refusal to deal with that issue in the in the in the american press corps in the early days because there was sort of widespread support in the end of the effort to get rid of gadhafi so the people who were involved were not being looked at very closely but there is evidence even going back to the very beginning that the eastern part of libya was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to al qaeda one of the al qaeda leaders who was killed recently it was a libyan and he came from this general area and now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces that took tripoli was also considered very close to al qaeda and was indeed detained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that the people with the guns on the side of the libyan rebels are now the government are people who have this very mixed background and it's not clear how that works out when you get down to the point of once the country's under the control of this of this force which side of this force will will be predomin

that's why we have the white house press corps, to get to the real substance. >> where is how has thee whole debate yesterday over the issues over the scheduling of the speech? >> there's a perception even among democrats that he doesn't have enough clout with the hill to figure out what day it is. how is he going to pass a plan to help the american them? >> is there anything the white house would have done differently. >> how can the american people expect he can do something much more difficult? >> did the president give in or capitulate. >> where is does this have to be fixed. >> where is the president can't get something out of this congress. >> where is this communicated... >> is this the plan all along. >> where is he said, all right, fine, we'll do it on thursday.

ten years ago this was the area where the pentagon press corps was working. orning we'd been watching the attacks unfold in new york. i came out in this hallway and suddenly there was a pentagon policeman coming from that direction, running down this hallway yelling, get out, get out, everybody get out, we've been hit, get out. american airlines flight 77 slammed into the pentagon. by the time i made my way from my office down to this part of the hallway it was full of people. we could smell the smoke. hundreds of people coming into this hallway, down the stairs from the upper floors, coming up the stairs from the basement. the doors had closed shut due to the security alert. so it took a few minutes for them to open them and for people to begin to make their way out to safety. [ sirens ] >> this entire side of the pentagon was a wall of flame and black smoke. i remember seeing people coming out of the wreckage where the plane hit, some covered in blood, trying to make their way to safety. hundreds of workers gathered over here. at one point before a large num

of the national press corps, when it's a crowded democratic field, you tried to raise all votes. ver is the frontrunner will be in the gun sights of the media. >> sean: one of the narratives that i picked up on obama 2007 very early, he was too radical too rigid to liberal, prepared to be president. liberals are coming around to my point of view. they'reçt&i>;w1:b/2?v 7zc> if he doesn't feel ready to run, i hope he doesn't because in the end, you know, he has tremendous misgivings. maybe he's right. i mean obama he wasn't ready. maybe christie isn't ready. maybe he feelsdy wants him to to, does need longer. >> sean: wasn't ready. gee, where were they way back when? people, by the way -- we'll give obama the benefit of the doubt want to be fair to both sides. i knew you knew and there were a few of us that got it. it's interesting to watch them finally come around. he's failed. it's a big shock. if they would just watch me and take my earlier on. >> yeah. well, you know, this is tina brown's "newsweek" under3n] a$ófze different editor that in 2008 ran 12 -- count them -- 12

the candidates themselves and the press corps will head there late december and then new hampshire shortly note, however, as we talk about sarah palin and chris christie, some of the republicans still on the side lines thinking about when they can get in, this moves the first contest up a full month so that leaves palin and christie to hit the ground and start running. that only gives them four months. florida is likely to put the primary on january 31st of next year. that's against rnc rules. the deadline will be on saturday. but they are going to do this on friday, randi. >> all right. peter ha

well, what i can tell you, lawrence, i said the other day here in the briefing room to the white house press corps is that the president chaired a meeting two days ago of his senior homeland security team going over all of the preparations for the 9/11 anniversary, tenth anniversary of those terrible attacks. we have known for some time that ever since the raid that brought justice to osama bin laden that al qaeda was interested in and has been interested in significant dates including of course the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. we were hypervigilant. you can be assured the president has been briefed and updated and his team and all of the agencies responsible for homeland security are on the job making sure we're taking all of the necessary precautions. >> the threat that we reported specifies washington and new york. is it possible that the administration might be issuing a warning for travel to places other than washington and new york? >> that's outside of my lane. i won't get into the specific threats. obviously dhs is addressing this, department of homeland security, and other national secur

he did nothing to demonstrate here to the press corps, who would have translated it to the satisfactionn i moved into operational mode. i said, get lines of communication open to the fbi director in the situation room, condoleezza rice, the secretary of defense. we have to get some remarks written for the president. we have to get the word to be secretary of education, who was about to leave the classroom and go speak to people gathered in gymnasiums. i move into operational mode after i left the president and while he was sitting in the classroom. >> did you have any conversations with the white house before the president came into the school cafeteria and said it was a terrorist attack? >> yes. there was a lot of fog in the air. people were trying to figure out what was going on. we got some televisions so that we could see what was happening on television. >> the president could see that in the hold. >> he could see the televisions that were brought in. we could see the television coverage at that point. >> that was the former white house chief of staff talking with ann compton from

. >> bill: the white house press corp. is timid, but i don't think they're in the tank.id you see it, kirsten? was i too tough on carney? >> i think it's probably what he should have expected if he watches your show at all. i think you may be roughed him up a little more than you needed to. but overall, it was fine. he certainly should have known he was going to get the jeffrey immelt question from you and seemed a little surprised by that. >> bill: i don't know if he even knew immelt was in the box. but isn't it a little weird? you're a liberal democrat and there is the president, we all agree that we'd like to have as many jobs in america and then there is jeffrey immelt, his big pal, job creation czar, whatever title he has, he's sitting there next to michelle obama and he's -- he can't send jobs to china fast enough, and i didn't bring this up, but he's sitting $5 trillion on overseas money he's not paying taxes on. and there is the president pounding all of this and look who is up there, the poster boy for everything he's saying shouldn't be done. >> i think you act

as the ability to come back and talk to you it's been well over a year since i last talked to the press corpsbut there has been significant changes that have occurred not only the last year but the last two years i look back. two years ago when we made the decision nato did the training in afghanistan to make sure we had the right resources with the right strategy and the right people with the right skill sets and put the right organization in place that enable us to get after the mission so critical so much so that today i consider returning investment we are starting to see is pretty significant from the efforts made over the last year's but the men and women of the international community. to me it is a clear sign the russians are moving forward and will have the ability from december, 2014 to assume the lead in their country. when i say tremendous progress has been made by guest to put in perspective, september, 2009 on the 800 young men decided they want to join the afghan national army. the past month in september we had over 8,000 young men decide to join the afghan army and that's not

the president believes the press corps imposes a false equivalency on american politics. ics when in reality the republicans are more rigid and extreme. there is a lot of truth to that but at least republicans respect americans enough to tell us what they really think. the white house gives moderates little morse els of hope then rips them from our mouths. to be an obama admirer is to toggle from being uplifted to feeling used. the white house has decided to wage the campaign as fighting liberals. i guess i understand the choice but i still believe in the governing style obama talked about in 2008. i may be the last one. >> i think i'm in the bull pen. not going to say a word. go ahead, howard. >> i disagree completely. >> tell me why. >> i don't think obama is a liberal. i don't think there is any such thing as a liberal anymore in america. >> aren't you a liberal? >> i am pretty much. >> okay. >> except about money i'm conservative, very conservative. >> you are very conservative. >> that's true. about money. >> balance the budget repeatedly. >> anyway. >> fiscal hawk. >

. >> but then, new york. 10 years ago, this was the area where the pentagon press corps was working. e had been watching the attacks unfold in new york. i came out in this hall way and suddenly there was a pentagon policeman coming from that direction, running down this hall way yelling get out, get out. everybody get out. we have been hit. get out. >> american airlines flight 77 slammed into the pentagon. >> by the time i made by way from my office to this part of the hall way, it was full of people and we could smell the smoke and hundreds of people coming into this hall way down the stairs from the upper floors and coming up the stairs from the basement. the doors had closed shut due to the security alert. it took a few minutes for them to open them and for people to begin to make their way out to safety. this entire side of the pentagon was a wall of name and black smoke. i remember seeing people coming out of the wreckage where the plane hit. some covered in blood, trying to make their way to safety. hundreds of workers gathered over here. at one point before a large number of po

i was outside of the white house waiting for the traveling press corp to be escorted to the motorcadeill. i remember vividly one of the reporters walking towards the motorcade was on her cell phone with her desk. she saw me and said noelia, a small plane has crashed into the world trade center. your boss is going to have some competition for news today. i was struck by that. because it was such a beautiful day, i could not imagine this happening, because it was also a beautiful day in new york. i walked back inside to the white house. i told mrs. bush's lead secret service agent what i just heard. we went to look at a tv monitor in his office and watched the tower billowing. we ofourse looked at each other and thought this could not be an accident. right then we heard mrs. bush was coming down to the main floor so we could travel to the capitol. at agent told mrs. bush what happened. her first reaction of course was shock. she thought, this means that senator clinton is not going to be able to stay for the hearing. because senator clinton was on senator kennedy's committee. first reac

opportunity to have the ability to come back and talk to you, well over a year i left to the pentagon press corp., but there's been significant progress and changes occurring over this really not just the last year, but two years looking back. two years ago when we made the decision, nato did, to stand up the mission in afghanistan, the key thing they did was they made sure we had the right resources with the right strategy, what the right kind of people were necessary with the skill sets and put the right organization in place that enabled us to get after the mission that was so critical, so much so, you know, today i say the return on the investment we're starting to see is pretty significant from the efforts made in the last two years by the men and women of this international community. to me, it's a clear sign the afghans are moving forward and will have the ability here in december 2014 to assume the lead for security here in their country, so when i say tremendous progress was made, to put it in perspective, september 2009, only 800 young men decided they wanted to join the afghan nationa
