the problem is that any time donald trump takes to twitter, he commits news. trump, except i knew he was a reality star in america. he has ruined it for us all now because every time he goes on he grabs the headlines. he has done it again. harry and meghan say they don't need, they are not asking they don't need, they are not asking the american government to protect them, they will pay for their own security, but it is a daily mail headline. it is partly our fault, isn't it? believing in everything he says. it has been a short live protestation on mr trump's start because they say they are paying for it themselves. i want to say words i never thought i would say. i agree with donald trump. he has proved himself to be the useless blowhard he is. all he cares about is his re—election. surely on harry and meghan, he is right. why on earth should the americans pay for the security? but they were earth -- they weren't asking the americans to pay! the president was making the case that the americans shouldn't have to pay to that request be made. thank you, both, fo

kristina: twitter announced this today on their twitter safety site.y said they will launch a new program to crack down on misinformation let's say the coronavirus but as well on the 2020 election. what is going to happen now, you may see it on your profile. i've been scrolling, i haven't seen it yet. it is a blue exclamation mark. any type of picture, video, you might see a little word or two words, say manipulated media. you click on that and reported to them. the two things twitter is trying to pay attention to they're looking for "deepfakes" or really altered videos and any type of media that would impact public safety. and they have been saying for quite some time now they have been studying fake accounts to go after anybody that would be manipulating them especially during the election time that's coming up. they said it is already been successful during the indian elections very recently as well as the european union elections. but if we're talking with some of the misinformation out there, purell, there was a tweet on there, i shouldn't say pur

but none of these lies have been taken down by twitter.witter is banned in china, but they are still doing china's bidding. what does that tell you? it's not a small thing. it's a trend, a collusion between big multinationals and beg authoritarian governments to make you obey. it's not paranoid to talk. it's real. and you should worry about it. not that there's time to worry about anything that is happening. at this point, everyone is transfixed by this virus. how well are we doing in this fight against a question mark we showed you a clip of andrew cuomo going way over the rails and saying things that are untrue. this was his assessment today. >> where are the ventilators? where are the gowns? where are the ppe's? where the masks? where are they? by the way, peter navarro, well, we want to work with companies. fine. work with companies. what the act was about, the country needed materials to go to war. it is a war. well, then act like it's a war. >> tucker: peter navarro is the white house trade advisor. always good to have him on the sho

twitter has a different impact. twitter shapes the political conversation of this country. ion think 10% of americans are n twitter. something like that. 100% of reporters and politicians. they are having this conversation and the incentives for, the incentives are disconnected to what actual people care about. a lot of politicians and reporters down these bad rabbit holes. they get a lot of retweets, but completely disconnected or they are being counterproductive to that because they are missing the conversation. i say every day i should get off twitter.d i cannot. it may solve a real problem. if more politicians and more reporters spent less time, is not a great place to get information. i often describe the that twitter has on media as forcing reporters to do man on the street interviews as a craziest invention in the world. people that choose to be on twitter. it is not a great sign. [laughter] >> 2020 chapter you outline these things that candidate should be doing to push back on trump. you talk about acknowledging his failures. not feeding into the way he shapes thing

twitter is a wasteland, full stop.u juan to prove that you can lead the country, especially the whole country, you should at least show that you can lead the people that follow you on twitter. >> the bernie bros remind me of trump supporters of 2016. there is af certain nastiness d meanness there but a also i thi it's part of bernie's problem is he acts like he's the leader of this insurgent faction rather than somebody that wants to unite the partyts and i thoughtt was very interesting she called him out on that because the assumption, of course, she might endorse bernie sanders but -- >> shers still might. >> that's right but everything about this campaign has changed in the last week. think of when's happened in the last seven days. everything changed but bernie sanders whoer continues to hit e sameco notes over and over agai. lashing out at the same people, making the same charges. almost echoing the trump line that somehow this is being rigged against him ans i'm not sure that that's going to turn this t campaign
