The election. As soon as he gets to the podium, we will take you there. President trump is now responding to stunning details from a Washington Post report about president obamas efforts to stop russian meddling in the 2016 election. Last night, he tweeted out, just out, the Obama Administration knew far in advance of november 8th about election meddling by russia. Did nothing about it. Why . The Washington Post reveals that obama knew russian president Vladimir Putin was directly involved. It also chronicles the super secretive and strained play by play of what the Obama Administration did do in response to the meddling, mostly through sanctions that even Obama Administration officials admit were mostly symbolic. Lets get more on this from cnn washington correspondent ryan nobles. Hes joining us live from the white house. Ryan, lets backtrack for a second because just this week, the president called claims of russian meddling a democratic hoax. But it seems like he just acknowledged that it actually did happen. What do you think . Yeah, boris, when given the opportunity to pin russias intervention in the u. S. Election on the previous administration, it seems as though the president has no problem saying that russia was involved, but of course his past statements, hes been back and forth about just how important russias intervention was during the u. S. Election and even blamed it on other countries perhaps china, even going as far to say it could have been done by one man, a 400pound man sitting at his bed. But, yes, youre right. He is specifically pointing to parts of this report where even past Administration Officials describe what happened with the Obama Administration as the administration sort of choking and he said that in a tweet as you mentioned, but he also talked about it in an interview with fox news thats scheduled to air tomorrow. Take a listen. Well, i just heard today for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election and he did nothing about it, but nobody wants to talk about that. The cia gave him information on russia a long time before they even before the election, and i hardly see it. Its an maizing thing to me. In order, the question is if he had the information, why didnt he do something about it . He should have dope something about it. As you pointed out, the Obama Administration did do something about it. But they didnt do everything at their disposal at the time. Theres reasons for that. Tay argue it happened too late, they didnt find out about it until august, but president obama did personally confront Vladimir Putin during a meeting of the g20 back in september and he was also very concerned about the political ramifications at the time. He thought that if he intervened too heavily that would make it look as though he was attempting to help Hillary Clintons campaign. Boris, a lot of this 20 20 hindsight but to your original point, a much different view from the white house has to the role russia played than weve heard previously. Ryan nobles, thank you. Lets get political with our panel. Mike shields, former chief of staff to reince priebus, jose, the former Deputy Press Secretary for the Democratic National committee, and joining us again today from moscow, jill doherty, former cnn Moscow Bureau chief. Mike, we have to ask, which is it . Does the president believe the hack was a hoax or did it actually happen . Your thoughts. I think what has happened in american politics is the russians clearly were trying to interfere if in our elections. We have congressional investigations going into that. But because of partisan politics, the left, the democrats and a lot of people in media have become obsessed with how do we hang this on the president , try and find some collusion with his campaign and take our eye off the ball of what we should be talking about, which is what the russians did. Its turned into this huge political football, which by the way theres been scores of investigators looking for it and absolutely zero evidence of anything has turned up that there was any collusion, but that is the sort of way democrats want to use this to explain how Hillary Clinton lost as opposed to focusing on a foreign state trying to med until our elections and focus on the real investigation of what was done by the government, who knew in the government about it, why wasnt something addressed. So perhaps now we can get back to that and stop focusing so much on this being a partisan attack on the president to try and tie his campaign to smething when theres literally been zero evidence of any wrong doing there. Even outside of the question of collusion, theres still a question of whether or not the president actually believes that russia meddled in the election. Up until last night, it was murky. There was no clear indication. He himself called it a hoax and partly created that political football, dont you think . I think hes responding to the partisan attacks and so some of his language is going to bend towards this whole thing is baloney meaning his campaign colluding or this somehow affecting his administration is ballooning. I think the republicans on capitol hill and democrats working together to investigate the russians meddling in the election itself, and i think thats where the focus needs to be. The president s talking more about the idea that somehow this can be blamed on him or his campaign opera tichs when theres been no evidence of that, and we need to get back to focusing on this being a foreign state trying to meddling in our elections and what the u. S. Government at the time knew about it. Jose to you, it appears the president is blaming the Obama Administration for not having done more. One Administration Official is quoted in that article as saying we choked, they dropped the ball and didnt do enough to get back at Vladimir Putin for orchestrating this meddling. Do you think the Obama Administration choked . Look, i think we have to be fair here and the former administration. They didnt have all the answers, all the information, and like you reported it was too late. I think part of this whole thing, we have to be careful. It can undermine our democracy. We have to be to get to the bottom of the investigation. Its taking over washington and the country, scandal after scandal. The president of the United States, donald trump, is on sesed with this investigation, which is why you see him tweeting day after day auking about it. My question to the president is simple. Did the russians interfere . Yes or no. First he blamed it on the democrats, it was a witchhuntnow hes blaming it on the former president. Which is it . I have the utmost respect for the special counsel. They have an outstanding team. We need to get to the bottom of this so we can continue looking for solutions that the American People are demanding, creating jobs, driving our economy upwards and so forth. To be fair, jose, there are Administration Officials that have said we didnt know the full scope of this thing, but they had reviewed several options to get back at russia going back to the fall of last year, sanctions that could have, quote, cratered the russian economy. So why didnt they carry those thins out . Look, i mean, again, i think president obama and hi administration, they did everything they could at the time. Its a very sensitive topic. They cant just act without having all the information, which is why the investigation is ongoing. We dont have all the answers. We know so many people have testified and there are so many people that are going to continue to testify so we look for these answers. This isnt going to go anywhere, boris. I think we have a long way before we get to a solution. To be clear, there was a report put out october 7th from several intelligence agencies, essentially outlining russian meddling in the election. Jill, a really unsettling aspect of this reporting is just how expansive, how orchestrated the russians were. How long do you think they were planning this . Have you gotten any indication . I think for a very long time. If you look at the way the administration at the time was looking at this, they thought that in the beginning that this was just kind of the usual intelligence that russia collects about everything. And there was a big election coming up. And so you began in the beginning they were thinking its just information collecting, spying activity, et cetera, kind of the normal thing. Then you see more and more. Hacking into emails, emails spread by wikileaks. Then you see a greater pattern. Then you see as was in the Washington Post story, more and more russian officials trying to get visas to the United States and those officials have technical background, which was also a bit suspicious. Then you have more information that begins to point directly to Vladimir Putin as the person who instigated this. I think it was incremental in the beginning. But the significance of how big it is i think is really great that they were using everything, they were using hacking, they were using fake news, they were using bots, they were using social media, they were using a lot of Different Things to influence what was going on in the United States. And i think this debate, you know, about there is no proof, there is no proof yet. Thats what these investigations are for. So to say that collusion is not proven, yes. At this point, it is not proven. But these investigations are going on and thats why they have to continue. Ultimately, what would be very important would be the next steps. What will the president now, President Trump do to avert this happening in the future . Because you can bet that it is going to. Russia learned a lot of lessons from what happened. And part of them, part of that lesson is that they can influence in various ways. They can influence with, again, fake news and tweets and all sorts of things that can affect the mentality of americans not only very concrete factors. Mike, i do want to ask you about something Kellyanne Conway said yesterday on new day. She said she was confident that no votes were changed because of russian meddling. Listen to this. This didnt have an impact on the electoral result. Not a single vote was changed and were going to stand by that. We know that donald trump won fairly and squarely, 306 electoral votes. It had nothing to do with interference. More voters leaning towards donald trump with the constant stream of emails we saw by wikileaks and the havoc it wreaked on the Democratic Party. First of all, i want to go back to something jill said. With all due respect, i think its irresponsible to say nothing is proven yet. When the media uses words like that, it sort of layers over big cast of sort of guilty doubt on these stories and thats what the administration gets so frustrated with. Theres been nothing prove because theres nothing there and tons of people have been looking for it, and the investigations into this socalled collusion go on and on and on and apparently are clouding out what we should be focused on. You dont know that. Which is what the administration did last fall, what did they know and when did they switch reporting this out to people and start focusing on what the Trump Campaign may or may not have done. I think we have to be very careful when we talk about the socalled collusion investigation. In terms of kellyanne is talking about, shes saying the same thing. There have been reports that have come out that the russians tried to hack into sort of machines or different voting things and they werent successful, and thats the key point. It looks like they attempted to do some things where they would have affected votes and they couldnt even get to the first layer. The technical people have said they werent even past the first fire wall that they could get through. And so i think what shes talking about is the fact theres been zero proof this actually benefited anyone, affected anything when it came to actual counting of votes and elections. I think thats different from the fact that we need to focus on what the russian state did to try and interfere in our elections. There are bipartisan investigations into that and we should focus as a nation on what the russians did and not make this sort of some partisan political football to tie and try the Trump Campaign to whats going on and focus on what the government knew, when they knew it, what they reported out back last fall. Jill, i want to give you a chance to respond. Well, ill just say that a lot of this is very difficult to prove. Ill give you an example. And im not saying either side is right, but ill give you an example. There was video that was released, i saw it on Russian Media and certainly these pictures were in the United States on social media, showing Hillary Clinton as very, very ill to the point of maybe even dying or mentally ill, and these pictures were played over and over again. Now, in classic propaganda, you could use a picture like that about any leader and say and show it to people over and over again, and people might begin to believe that why should i vote for somebody who is crazy . Why should i vote for somebody whos going to die . And that can have an effect on an election, which is very hard to quantify. Because we all tend to believe, and i do, too, that when you get to the voting booths and votes, you know, concrete objects, that probably didnt happen. But how the mentality, the psychology of people was affected i think is important to understand, because if we dont understand that, we will miss what russia the techniques that russia is using to influence United States democracy. And of course its very difficult to quantify. Jill dougherty reporting from moscow, thank you. Mike and jose, please stick around. We have a lot more to discuss with you. Jose, ill also give you a chance to respond to the comments from kellyanne.

Mitch mcconnell can only afford to lose two votes and as it stands, five republican senators oppose the bill outright in its current form though some say they are open to negotiations. Three of them plan to review it more over the weekend. Some of those three on the side have already expressed concerns. Theres a lot at stake for this next big test for President Trump. He tweeted this out this morning democrats slammed Gop Health Care proposal as obama premiums and deductibles increase by over 100 . Remember keep your doctor, keep your plan . Mike shields, Jose Aristimuno are back with us. Mike, democrats are painting the Senate Health care bill as meaner than the house version, which the president himself reportedly called mean. Now can President Trump help Mitch Mcconnell get to 50 votes if hes handing the opposition these free attacks . This is what always happens in legislation. Were finally seeing legislating happening again in washington, d. C. , so its a little bit of a shock to the system to some people to see what happens. You get close to the vote and all of a sudden youll highlight who are the three or four senators that want to go negotiate with the leadership and get something changed in the bill. The same thing happened in the house. The house bill failed at first, then was dead and suddenly it passed. I think all of these are posturing. Youll see tweets and comments and people will make maneuvers and really what this is all about is negotiating behind the scenes. What we know is that obamacare is failing. We have aetna pulling out of more states. You have millions of people now losing their health care coverage. You have people because of obamacare, because they cant afford it. Prices have skyrocketed. Theyve more than doubled in premiums and over a majority of the state. The pressure of the system collapsing eventually is going to weigh on the United States senate and theyre going to get something passed. What were going to watch in the meantime is posturing as people try to negotiate for their best position. Jose, the balance is obviously tricky for Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. He can only lose two votes. Leesing any one faction of the republicans could ultimately tank the bill, pushing it in a different direction. Who do the democrats focus on trying to keep away from voting yes . I think the important thing here is that the American People have a voice. The American People have been demanding, calling their senators, and theyve been saying, look, this bill doesnt work. This bill is unamerican. Were talking about pushing back on Womens Health care. Were talking about benefits that we are no longer going to have. So the big mistake is the republicans from the very beginning should have looked for ways and solutions to work with the democrats to improve obamacare. Yes, we admit it, its not perfect. It needs work. The fact you want to repeal it and start with something new, it doesnt make sense. With this, you want to talk about mean, what this bill does is not good for poor people. People who dont have as much sort of opportunities as the rest of americans. This bill doesnt work. Its why these five senators that youre talking about are facing a lot of pressure back home. Mike, back to you. Republicans vowed to repeal and replace obamacare. Some funding cuts notwithstanding. Isnt this ultimately a tweak to obamacare . Thats the case that ted cruz is making. Not at all. First of all, i have to laugh at the idea that republicans should have come to democrats to work with this. Democrats from the beginning created a movement called resist for President Trump where they dont even want to acknowledge hes the rightful president of the United States. Theyve taken every step they can to take themselves out tf process saying theyre going to fight everything, sending people to town halls not true. Saying republicans are trying to kill people with their health care bill. But by the way why shouldnt we work with the democrats on this . Not true. Back to 1996, thats when welfare reform was passed by a Republican House and signed by a democratic president six weeks before the election. Actually vetoed it twice, then looked at the polls and signed it into law. At that time, democrats are saying the same thing. John lewis went down to the house noor and said there will be a million new children in the street, theyre coming after the women, coming after the children. In the end what happened was some welfare to work requirements were put in and the majority of people on well far actually liked the welfare reform. What happened in the last administration was president obama boosted medicare medicaid, excuse me, beyond poor people and this bill brings it back and says were going to have medicaid for poor people and other people have to have work requirements. Thats not mean. Its unamerican. Its a huge benefit just like welfare reform was. You know it succeeded in the 90s because the democrats never talk about it anymore and this will be the same thing when its passed into law. We are just about out of time, but jose, a very quick response. One quick thing. We have to remember when obamacare became the law of the land, we had over 100 town halls, we were on cspan for hours talking about this. You dont even debate this bill. No one saw the senate bill until a few days ago. How are we supposed to know whats in this bill, support something we havent seen . The whole thing was done in secrecy. Mike shields, Jose Aristimuno, thank you so much, gentlemen, for joining us. Thank you. Coming up, democrats are reeling after four straight special election losses. So could leadership changes be in the works as the party tries to find its footing heading into 2018 . But first, if youre looking to create the Technology Future of technology, i should say, apple Senior Vice PresidentPhil Schiller says learn how to code. Heres cnns laurie segall. How do you guys at apple try to get people invested in developing apps and this kind of technology at an early age . Growth of the app developer economy is i think a potential driving force for our whole economy. In american and in other countries around the world, one of the cool things im proud were working on is an education program. We call it everyone can code. Its a little play off anyone can cook from ratatouille, that movie. And its kind of the same thing. Anyone can cook, not everyone will be a chef. Anybody can learn to code. Not everybody will be the worlds greatest app developer. We all grew up where you have to learn a foreign language. I think increasingly its rally important that people learn to code because as kids growing up, p m have the propensity to be a great developer, by the time you get older, you may want want to start. And if you dont become a developer, chances are your job will interact with a Software Programmer and youll want to have a dialogue at an intelligent level because you know where theyre coming from. Were lumpling k12 in the United States, everyone can code, swift playgrounds to help kids learn and control robots and make drones fly. I think that can have a huge change in our economy and just in the education of students around the world people approach it as just like a foreign language. Everyone needs to code.

It is half past noon and we are watching and waiting because any minute now former president bill clinton will address more than 250 of the nations mayors at a conference in miami beach. Cnns rosa flores joins us from that conference. Rosa . Reporter hi, boris. Good afternoon. There are a lot of people in this conference room. This is where former president bill clinton is expected to speak between 12 45 and 12 15. This will be a city livability luncheon. Now, what that means is were expecting the president to speak about how some cities around the country during a very challenging time have actually become more equitable. Now, some of those challenges were expecting to talk about and touch on, immigration, sanctuary cities, health care, jobs, economy, a lot of those very, very tough issues that were facing during this current climate. And boris, as you know, were expecting president clinton to talk here in this room and a lot of anticipation of course because we dont know exactly what hes going to say. Well wait and see. And well bring it to you as soon as that happens. You have to think he might mention something about health care, the investigations into the white house connections to russia and all of that. Rosa, we thank you for keeping an eye on that. Well get back to you as soon as he takes the stage. Thank you. Meantime, democrats are trying to recover from crushing losses in special elections in typically red districts of georgia and south carolina, which had a real shot at flipping. So how exactly does the party move forward and gain ground . Some democratic lawmakers say it starts with a muchneeded change in leadership. Listen. We need a Winning Strategy and the first step is a change in leadership. I dont think people in the beltway are realizing just how toxic the Democratic Party brand is. You think nancy pelosi is more toxic than donald trump . You know what, the honest answer is in some areas of the country, yes, she is. Joining us now to discuss possible rebranding of the Democratic Party, cnn political commentator and former ohio state senator nina turner and emily kardona. Nina, lets start with you. You heard tim ryan making the case the democrats, their brand in some ways is worse than donald trumps. The president s Approval Rating has hovered in the mid30s for some time now. What does that say about where the democrats stand . And the democrats polling among people in this country not better. It really says that the democrats cannot just run an antiTrump Campaign. That didnt work in 2016 and it certainly did not work in the special elections that we just saw, four consecutive losses, not to mention some special elections last year. The fact of the matter is that we need a new deal remix and the Democratic Party should be the Party Standing up for the folks. The Democratic Party needs to go back to the fdr when he talked about an economic bill of rights in the 1944. Talked about good jobs, decent wages, good Living Conditions or decent Living Conditions, which i would say good Living Conditions, education and protections for people who need it like elderly people, disabled people, people who are unemployed. That is a solid message. But just running against mr. Trump is not going to win over or motivate voters in this country. Maria, there was talk this week about Nancy Pelosis place within the Democratic Party. Her defenders cite the fact she is a prolific fundraiser. She herself says that shes worth the trouble. But one Texas Democrat made this counterargument. Listen. Theres no question she is a prolific fund raiser. She raised millions of millions of dollars. But what has that money gotten us in the last four election cycles . Maria, has that fundraising advantage ultimately benefited democrats if they have continuously suffered losses . Look, lets be very clear. Everybody likes to talk about these last four special elections and the fact that democrats lost and try to equate that to the death of the Democratic Party. That is absolutely ridiculous, boris. These districts were ruby red districts. The fact that democrats were even in contention means that we were in a very good position and will be in a very good position to continue to make gains going into 2018. Look, jon ossoff, sure, he might have made some mistakes, but from everything that i understand, he ran a very good campaign. He came within less than four points of karen handel when tom price, who ran just last november, won that seat by 23 points. Those are huge gains, boris. I agree with nina. We cant just have an agenda that is antitrump. And guess what, we dont. We need to aggressively continue to talk about what were doing for middle class fam lis, lowincome families, all those families not born with silver spoons in their mouths or trust funds in the bank. We need to talk about how republicans want to take away health care from 24 million people, the same health care that, guess who passed it in the congress, nancy pelosi. The reason why republicans hate nancy pelosi and use her as a lightning rod is because she has been such an effective legislator. And for those people who believe that even if she steps down that republicans will stop using her as a lightning rod, i think are being naive. So we have a lot of promising things that we can run on. We are making gains. You said it, boris. Donald trump is at 36 Approval Rating, which is a record low. American people chose the democratic agenda over the republican agendain this past election cycle by almost 3 million votes. Those are things we need to continue to remember and continue to run on aggressively. But boris, the democrats have lost over 1,100 seats over the last decade. So i agree with maria, this is not just about those four special elections. This is about the fact that democrats have lost state legislatures, governors mansions, and seats in the house of congress over the last ten years. That is what this is about. And we need to wake up and get a clue. That is not just about the person who can raise the most money. It is about the person who can touch the hearts of the people and get folks to get out there and vote. My god, if democrats are not going to do it, who else will do it . I completely agree with that, nina. We need to work towards getting the right candidates to run in the right places and to talk about our agenda, which the majority of the American People agree with us on. But not just talking about it, maria. We have to be about it. We have to do it. It hass to make a difference. Just in california, the leader of the how else leader in california, the majority leader in california, just killed medicare for all. What kind of democratic value is that . We cant blame that on the republicans or the russians. Those were democrats that did that. A very passionate argument. Unfortunately, lady, we have to leave it there.

Com one of the forefathers of social media, facebook, is taking on a new role in not just the community, also the world. Laurie segall sat down for an exclusive rare conversation with facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg. Hey, laurie. Hey, boris. Facebook is changing its mission to connecting the world to building communities, making the world closer together. Its a big deal because its a change for Mark Zuckerberg. Anytime a tech company changing their core mission statement, people pay attention. This is the first time in history Mark Zuckerberg has decided to. I think its a bit of a moment in time. He talked to me about actually rethinking the company, rethinking the companys role in a time where theres some really challenging questions. I sat down with him here in chicago. Take a listen. If we worked to help people connect, that would make the world better by itself. Those are important things and were still going to do things. Today a lot of society is divided, right, and so its pretty clear that just giving people a voice and connecting people isnt enough. We also have to do work to help bring people closer together. Thats what the new mission is all about. Bringing the world closer together so not just simply connecting but also helping to close some of the gaps. Let me ask you how you do that, because technology to a degree has always promised to help us discover and help us learn. Theres also the question of does it make us more insular and is information being hijacked and spread. So as you make the future of facebook, these communities, how do you make sure they remain a place for authenticity and for real discourse . People are connecting over something they have in common. If you want to engage on issues you disagree on, things that society is divided on, the first thing you need to do is connect over your common humanity. That can be something as simple as, you know, we both have families or we both like a tv show together. Bringing people together and creating these communities is i think a lot of what we can do to help create more civil and productive debate on some of the bigger issues as well. You know, i had to ask him, like is this politically motivated . Because youve got to look at his track record. He writes this whole manifesto about technology and democracy in february. His new years resolution was to spend more time outside the Silicon Valley bubble at dinner tables around the country. And he kind of sidestepped that, but he did say he believed that we were politically divided, and he said, you know, thats why he feels a responsibility to build out these organic communities online. Now, of course, that comes with some of the negative stuff. You have to make sure, you know, youre not spreading hate speech. We have to make sure trolling isnt rampant. And these are the tough questions facebook is looking at as it looks to the few which are. Boris . Laurie segall, thank you.

The already delicate relationship between the white house and the press is growing more tense with both sides critical of how the other operates. The white house has held just two on Camera Press Briefings in the past two weeks and thats frustrated reporter who is accuse the white house of a lack of access and transparency. But the white house says that oncamera briefings are just one way to get their message out. Im joined now by cnn senior media correspondent and host of reliable sources, Brian Stelter along with cnn media analyst bill carter. Thanks for joining us. I want you to listen to sean spicer defending these offcamera briefings. Listen. Some dais well do it. I think its its great for us to come out here and have a substantive discussion about policies. I dont think the be all and end all is whether its on television or not. We made ourselves available a lot of times and will continue to. But id rather have an enjoyable conversation with you on issues on a friday afternoon and let the president s comments stand on the great things that hes standing on behalf of our nations veterans. Bill, do you think were having more sub tstantive conversations because the cameras arent around. Hardly. Of course not. Its another way to block substance. Thats what its about. If you think about it, an awful lot of america gets their information from television an if you cut the cameras off youre not giving the information. Im not saying it has to be live necessarily, but how can they do it and not have cameras available when so much of what is being transferred to people is coming through television . I think its really denying the access to people who control the government, which is the actual people, not the administration. Brian, while sean spicer is talking to the press corps off camera, he did talk to fox news twice yesterday on camera. So is the administration only going to do interviews with people they find friendly . Right now thats what we are seeing. President trump gave an interview to fox on thursday and again on friday. There were two sean spicer interviews yesterday, also an interview with his daughterinlaw, lara trump, on hannity last night. This is in some ways a fox news presidency. This white house prefers to be speaking on fox and mostly the friendly interviewers on fox. Its part of a broader thing weve seen the past five months which is this president speaking to his base and not so much trying to persuade the rest of the country to listen to him, to support him, to approve of him. Weve seen the Approval Ratings. Hes between 35 and 40 in the Approval Ratings and thats really the audience hes speaking with through his rallies, through twitter, through these intervous on fox. He doesnt seem to be trying hard to persuade the rest of the country. He seems desiring to speak mostly to his fans. We should point out here, all governments try to withhold and try to avoid tough questions. Its just that the Trump Administration is doing it much more egregiously than bush or clinton or obama or past president s did. Normally wed have an offcamera briefing almost every day of the week. Now weve seen them once a week in this new strategy this month. It may hurt the white house, it definitely hurts the publics access to information. Bill, do you think that it might hurt the white house cutting off his opportunity, one of the biggest opportunities they have to get their message out . Well, i think its hurting them with an awful lot of people. Its not hurting with their base as brian points out. And, you know, he has a propaganda arm he can go to to reach that base in fox news. So hes using that effectively, but its not expanding his base and it also is just denying the rest of the Country Access to their president. Hes not just president of those people. Hes president of all the people. So if he cuts off these people, its not just that he cant expand his message. Its that hes literally not doing his job. Hes our president too. Brian, i would believe that this is straight out of snl, though theyre not on the air in the summer. I do want your thoughts on having a sketch artist in the press briefing room. We sent one there friday because our cameras were banned. Heres what the sketch artist came up with. What do you make of this . This is by bill hen see, one of the best known courtroom artists out there. He usually works with the Supreme Court but on friday, cnn sent him to the briefing in order to show what we werent seeing on camera. I think it was notable cnn did not send a cartoonist. We werent trying to make fun of the briefing. He sent a very legitimate courtroom artist in order to paint a picture of what we werent seeing on camera. What makes this so strange, guys, this idea that the brief rgs off camera is weve never lived in a world more technological ability to show everything to anyone at any time. I mean, if i pick um my phone here and click the instagram button it only takes me two clicks to go live. So all of a sudden im broadcasting live to anybody i want to. You can see it on instagram right now. Its so easy nowadays to show everything live. And thats what makes this white houses restriction so odd. Viewers might wonder why dont news outlets just hold their cameras up during the briefing . The answer is it would make an even tense situation even more tense ark bad thing even worse. There would be concerns about the white house revoking credentials and things like that. Right now its worth it for reporters to be in the room even when there are restrictions to be able to demand the answers to questions the white house doesnt want to answer. Gentlemen, we have the leave it there because we are out of time. Bill carter and Brian Stelter, thank you. Catch brian tomorrow at 11 00 on reliable sources.
