todd, over to you.enator flake claiming president trump has something to worry about in 2020. take a listen. >> i do believe if the president is running for re-election, if he continues on the path that he is on. that that's going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else. he is probably indicting a republican challengininvite agol but certainly an independent challenge. todd: here to debate is former advisor for hillary clinton campaign and fox news contributor jehmu green and joe borelli. thank you so much for joining us on this day after christmas. jehmu i will begin with you, do you think jeff flake is right? >> i think certainly given the almost records low approval ratings that president trump has and what we're seeing as far as the enthusiasm gap that is facing g.o.p. candidates across the board, that it doesn't take rocket science to know that there's going to be an independent challenger and probably one of these never trump republicans challenging him as well. if i were a bett

rob: rough week, todd with the escalating war of wards, hey, todd. >> four media reporting errors thisorrected by reporters and/or news organization sparking twitter attack from the president yesterday afternoon. he wrote, quote, very little discussion of the purposely false and defamatory stories put out this week by the fake news media, they are out of control. correct reporting means nothing to them, major lies written and forced to be withdrawn after they are exposed, a stain on america. here is the timeline first it was abc news correcting a brian ross report that incorrectly accused donald trump of directing michael flynn to make contact with russian officials before the election. then it was bloomberg and the wall street journal that corrected stories that investigators had subpoenaed donald trump's records for from a german bank when they turned out that the subpoena concerned people and entities close to donald trump. and then donald trump and john, jr. received an e-mail allowing them to access hacked documented before such documents were publicly available and washington pos

comedian todd berry joins me. it is a holiday week and it is a special show. you're watching "the beat." >>> donald trump is using his holiday vacation this week to promote his private interests, golfing in florida. something he's done twice a week all year. something he complained about. >> obama it was reported on, played 250 rounds of golf and he's going to be in hawaii, did they say, for three weeks? how can a president -- for three weeks. i don't have time for that. he played more golf than tiger woods. >> he plays more golf than people on the pga tour. it's true. >> he's played more rounds just about than people that play professionally on the pga tour. i mean, this guy. >> you need leadership. you can't fly to hawaii to play golf. >> that could be simple hypocrisy but a man who knows trump pretty well are said when trump attacks others, he is often revealing stuff about himself. >> when he reads his tweets, almost invariably he is describing himself. and that was the case in the book. now, of course, he hadn't yet decided to run for president. but that
