Brett kavanaugh, the alleged victim of Sexual Assault doesnt member such type incident and donald trump is the leading critic. I call for the resignation of everyone at the New York Times, they have taken the old great lady and broken her down, destroyed her virtue and ruined her reputation. I could not believe the New York Times would write this piece without that information contained in it. There was zero intent to mislead anybody about the details of the incident. As the times report blame editors the stories havent stopped democrats the justice be impeached, im howard kurtz and this is media buzz. President trump has repeatedly unloaded on the New York Times over its story alleging another long ago Sexual Assault incident drofling Brett Kavanaugh, as we reported when we came on the air last week, twotime journalist made charges of exposure and leaving tout crucial fact in their book which is that the alleged victim at the yale party not only comment but told friends she doesnt remember such incident. The president tweeting that at the times they should close doors. How can they do a thing like that and destroy somebodys life. Sort of an editing, done in the heist. We we wanted to give a full story as possible. Joining us to analyze the fallout for the times and for journalism Mollie Hemingway of the federalist, fox news contributor, future of the Supreme Court. Beverly, president of District Media group and former state Department Official under Hillary Clinton, molly, obviously you coauthored a book of portrayal of Justice Kavanaugh, whats your view of level of proof in making this accusation of another long ago Sexual Assault incident and also do you buy the explanation that editors happened to cut that Key Information from the newspaper story in heist . They omitted the information, went out of their way to omit the information, npr had to edit in a clarification, the idea that we can claim editors for something coming from reporters is inappropriate, we interviewed more than a 100 people, we factchecked everything, multiple sources for everything that we went with, yes, we do care of rule of law and presumption of innocence and we tried hard to get the facts right and its very important. This shows the corruption of our media right now, they fixate on a target and they try to destroy the person and will omit Key Information and facts wrong and do whatever it takes to construct a narrative rather than just report facts. Some other organizations were critical of the times handling of this because if a story is based on an incident, the woman traumatized, she doesnt remember this happening, the question is, is that even a story. Well, i think probably the outlet that has been harshest on the New York Times its been the New York Times, you showed the clip of basically the reporters throwing their editors under the bus, the times screwed up here, no doubt about that. The times screw up here and my interaction with them over the years has been theres no single editor, times has bad habit of looking at things depending on where they are in the paper, they look at things on the front page differently than they do something thats in the weekend section thats promoting a book, the question is should they be promoting a book of to their reporters. Its common in the media. I know its common and doesnt make it right. Should they be looking at those the same way they look at niece article and clearly they didnt. Reporters expressed opinions that are different and out of the line of typical editorial standards, so lets not forget, Brett Kavanaugh is not winning any kind of man of the year award, so the notion that the time is im sorry, what does that mean . It means that there are a lot of openended issues from his testimony, you are hold on, you are quoting the part in the book where it says thirdhand that the people the women doesnt say third people thirdhand people, you cant have it both ways. Even on this, i want to point out its not all the liberal media or Mainstream Media that are falsely reporting this, youve had, i want to read this, Jane Crawford tweeted that there was a real bomb bombshell in the book, the story is not believable and told forbes pressured her, thats the bombshell, that was buried in the opinion piece altogether, what this comes down to, New York Times know who the readers are, certain bias against Justice Kavanaugh purely because perspective on issues especially on the Supreme Court or a threat to progressive ideology, so thats why they are pushing this. Let me explain to viewers, Deborah Ramirez decided that there was an incident she claimed to the new yorker which kavanaugh exposed himself in party 35 years ago, and her close friend leland, is on the record with new book which is the education of Brett Kavanaugh investigation, i think she does not believe her friends account. Right, Leland Kaiser is fords friend, the book has explosive new details including how people who knew her tried to coerce her into changing her testimony. We are being told based on no reason at all that Brett Kavanaugh is not going to win man of the year, thats what im talking about, the media narratives, they decide to tar somebody who does have extremely good reputation for people who knew him from adolescence, college, throughout career and decided to make him into some evil person even though they dont have the evidence to back it up and even though the people who were supposed witnesses for allegations all say they theres your real difference between saying 10 or 15 of what the New York Times said they got wrong and all of sudden zero percent of what Brett Kavanaugh are are invalid, you cant jump from one to the other. Im not quite sure what youre saying but i literally wrote a book every single bad word about Brett Kavanaugh is made up by the media . Im saying theres a larger issue in play how the media takes side and try to destroy political opponent . Every bad word by the media is made up by the media . Everyone need to support political person let me jump in here, i have another question, do you think the president is going over the top and saying, mass resignations at the New York Times, obviously hes upset with the story or did the paper provide him with the ammunition and as long as youre answering that, should the 2020 democratic president ial candidates have jumped out of the gate to call for kavanaughs impeachment based on a story that times had to correct . Those are different things, the 2020 candidates, few of them sat on Senate Judiciary last year and at the time they have been calling for a subsequent investigation about whether he perjured himself. Should at the same time say lets impeach him, sounds a bit much. Second of all its been over a week. Hold on a second, donald trump says more in a course of single rally that is wrong that should be retracted. It is important to know that New York Times took them a full day. Oh, my god, a full day. You know how many things said on air that are never corrected. Everything went wild with kavanaugh impeachment and you mentioned it on your show at 11 00 a. M. , it took them almost midnight to fix that. Its a problem in the newspaper, its not whether they get fired but what accountability will there be, pattern of behavior going back years of this newspaper getting facts wrong omitting key details and instead of people getting punished, promotions, raises. Thats not a bias thing. The biggest gaffe was weapons of has destruction, presentation of there being nuclear biological and chemical weapons. The times you both have serious issues in New York Times. You come at it from different perspectives. I want to turn that the times itself claims offensive tweet, im not going to fully repeat it on the there with you in a party and confronted with male genitals. Acknowledged this week that she had written that tweet and here is what she had to say on the view. I drafted this with this in mind to have actually the opposite effect, which is to anticipate those who would say about pulling down his pants in a party when they are drunk on the spectrum of Sexual Misconduct is not Sexual Assault, its not rape, whats the big deal. Im listening to this and im still thinking harmless fun, what was she thinking . Nobody was happy with the tweet, you had webster dictionary send out a tweet defining what harmless was. You had people not like the article in general and the tweet in general saying to focus more on the fact that the women who alleged this was her pay and against the whole White Privilege and, of course, those of us who think that this is a false allegation to begin with, the tweet is par for the course for the reporters who as they say in haste are sending out tweets and writing articles. The New York Times should not be tweeting anything that they should not be putting in their paper. Same standards. I insisted on reading edited version of story i ever wrote because mistakes and nuances would change, thats what you do. When we come back for Washington Post whistleblower complaint of President Trump making unspecified promise to leader of ukraine, do we know enough to justify all the media outrage, later Corey Lewandowski on House Democrats threatening to hold him in contempt. Here, it all starts with a simple. Hello hi how can i help . A data plan for everyone. Everyone . Everyone. Lets send to everyone [ camera clicking ] wifi up there . Ahhh. Sure, why not . Howd he get out . a camera might figure it out. That was easy glad i could help. At xfinity, were here to make life simple. Easy. Awesome. So come ask, shop, discover at your xfinity store today. Media world is on fire over Washington Post reports that an intelligence whistleblower filed a complaint about President Trump making alarming promise to foreign leader, Congress Demanding details and wall street journal saying that trump asked ukraine president to launch investigation of joe biden and son hunter. Anybody dumb enough to believe that i would Say Something inappropriate with a foreign leader . Yes, mr. President , unfortunately the answer is yes. The corrupt line rage and hateful media mob out at it again spinning in circles for the last 24 straight hours they have, again, breathlessly, historically echoing report from the Washington Post. Biden called this abuse of power while the president dismissed the story and denounced the media. Its a partisan whistleblower, they shouldnt have information, its just another political hack job, its another media disaster. The media has lost so much credibility in this country, our media has become the laughing stock of the world. Molly, the president said he doesnt know who the partisan whistleblower is, so we had the first wave of outrage in washington story unspecified country, unspecified promise, the wall street journal writing about conversation between two leaders and talk of biden investigation has really sent the story sure, we have seen a lot of conflicting information and the first story talks about a promise being made and the wall street journal explicitly there was no demand for quid pro quo or anything like that, i think first off have a lot more that we need to learn about and another thing is that it speaks to how much media blew credibility by russia story, we were promised for years that there were bombshell pieces of information that would lead to definitive proof, that blew up in the media ice face, they never took full responsibility for it and now they want to go on ukraine story. I think the Washington Post and journal stories are absolutely news, you do have efforts by congress that that would happen, trump says it doesnt matter, he said nothing inappropriate. Ukrainian Foreign Ministers saying nothing wrong with the call, is this another potentially huge story that we are hearing word impeachment, donald trump did not deny that he brought up joe biden to the foreign minister, president of ukraine. That is not okay. Donald, please send my best, no reason for joe bidens name to come up in the conversation once, twice, 8 times, whether its threatening, quid pro quo, demanding whatever it is, thats crossing a line, yes, theres a problem with that, lets say for a moment Hillary Clinton had won and donald trump was challenging her next year and we were talking about Hillary Clinton talking to a foreign lead the other help her find dirt on one of the trump kids, your heads would be exploding. It is entirely possible once we learn more that theyll be something that was inappropriate about this, but its not true just as a matter of course that you cant have the types of conversations. The reason that you bring up joe biden with the past issues of ukraine and hunter biden, hunter biden is not one someone who has a lot of expertise becomes highly involved in Ukrainian Energy company, issues involved. The new yorker has written about it, i commend that you read that article. Mention that that he made a lot of money, Rudy Giuliani, back in the program in april. He got into it with cnns chris cuomo. So you asked him to look into joe biden . Of course, i did. You just said you didnt . Involved joe biden in massive bribery scene, its sad to watch what happened here. Im a sellout. Youre telling me that im a sellout. Who is help when he gets into that shouting match with chris cuomo . Im not sure but we are all entertained, what i find fascinating the story about joe biden and hunt bidens ties to ukraine is coming up, joe biden says it didnt happen and in his own words he did ask the ukrainian president at the time to fire someone and fire prosecutor looking into the company that his son was part of. Exactly, the story of joe biden is the one thats on the forefront now, some could say we dont know yet, we should know more thursday when the intel idea is going before the house intelligence committee, but this could turn into eyes being on the story of joe biden and turning worse for him. Giuliani on Fox News Sunday complained about the probiden media which have covered this, we will get that more in later segment. The effort by rudy and allies, whatever the president said to ukrainian president is not the story, the story is hunter biden and ties and paid all the money and should biden have threatened ukraine with withholding 1 billion . Well, the answer to your question, the winner here is donald trump, now its possible for Rudy Giuliani to lose because of that kind of performance, who cares, hes not running for office. Why is the winner donald trump . We are spending as much time talking about joe biden and ukraine and his son which by rudys own admission trying 6 months to get into the public and he couldnt, you know what, he has succeeded, this is fantastic for donald trump. We think we need to be careful when we are using Anonymous Sources how we characterize, this could be, we heard it call the whistleblower but the person was hearing hearsay, it own trump official trying to inject in the conversation, we should try to characterize. Lets be clear the wall street journal is owned by the same people that own this table. Murdoch, i know the routine, this is not like this came from, again, the New York Times or some what you would call liberal, murdochs paper reported. The journal story was hardly helpful at least at this juncture on that note, i have to go.

Let me take you behind the scenes here, last sunday morning when i told my staff at the New York Times story on Brett Kavanaugh was probably too thin for us to put it on the air given magnitude of the Sexual Assault allegation. But when i obtained page offense the book by the times reporters we tore up their show and led with it. Here is what the book says, she refuse toddies cuss the incident though several of her friends says she does not recall it. That was left out of what the New York Times published today. If this happened, wouldnt she be very, very likely to recall it . But most Networks Said they stuck with the narrative of the times and uncovered stunning new evidence, either downplaying or not mentioning that the alleged victim culled not remember him exposing himself at long ago yale party. Supreme Court JusticeBrett Kavanaugh has been hit by a newly reported Sexual Misconduct allegation. Another alleged incident of Sexual Misconduct reported to fbi last year but that allegation was not investigated. Im not surprised. The report near the book, excerpts are disturbing, there are, they seem to be credible allegations in this. The media with much the same with the president s tweeting attacking the New York Times. Over questions of new report of Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh new Sexual Misconduct allegations when he was a college freshman. When times reporter kelly appeared on the mondays today show they were not asked about the glaring omission of the story, by then the times had posted its correction, on msnbc Joe Scarboroughs reaction was different. Another exception was cbsn reporter. The late sunday the times issued a clarification, the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident. But the rush by several 2020 democrats, elizabeth warren, beto orourke, Kamala Harris to demand kavanaughs impeachment filled the Networks Coverage and turns the storys flaws into foot not. When Rachel Maddow interviewed harris did not mention the times correction. Do you think getting to the truth no matter the political cost . Yes, we are talking about justice. Reality caught up with the coverage, by wednesday Washington Post was running the story with this headline n whiplash moment, democrats are back get away from kavanaugh allegations.

Well, 3 Cable News Networks went live with Corey Lewandowski testifying as he refused to answer some questions and sparred with democrats turn turning into a fiasco. The clock should remain stop and remain stop, page 90, volume 2. Which paragraph, sir. I dont have it in front of me. I would be happy to repeat the question. He never acted on President Trumps request that he push Jeff Sessions to fire bob mueller but the panel played video saying something very different to msnbcs i dont remember the president asking me to get involved with Jeff Sessions or the department of justice in any way, shape or form. That wasnt true, sir . I heard that. I have no obligation to be honest with the media because they are just as dishonest as anybody else. I spoke with president s former Campaign Manager from new hampshire. Welcome. Thank you, howie, thanks for having me. Lets start with your declaration at the hearing, i have no obligation to be honest with the media because you consider them to be dishonest, why should anybody watching on the airways say maybe this time hes decided not to tell the truth . Well, howie as you know and what your listeners saw that day was they took 8second video clip of me, completely out of context and put it up on the screen, is this truthful and what the video clip was of me answering a question that i hadnt met with the special counsel yet and the reason i said that, howie, my two times in front of special counsel were in secrecy from the time they picked me up in government vehicle to the way they brought me up to loading dock to secure facility we spoke in, i respect special counsels respect to keep their investigation outside the eye of the public and while i wasnt obligated to do that, i respect their opportunity to conduct their investigation in the manner that they wanted and i thought that it was only fair that i didnt disclose information that they didnt want publicly available. So why didnt you deflect the question at the hearing with some version, instead, you could have said that you were doing this, you chose to proclaim as badge of honor, no obligation to be honest with the media, you dont think they covered you fairly, are you like donald trump trying to perhaps win over voters who dont like the press . Well, look, howie, as you know, many member it was media have now fallen in the same category as members of congress for dishonesty and their desire to have a true relationship and, look, just this week, we have seen how the New York Times covered the kavanaugh issue with no wasnt being fired, no accountability and weve seen this now so many times over the last 4 years that donald trump has been in office, the media proclaims these things only to come out afterwards and say i guess they werent true, nobody ever gets fired and i do think its fair to remind people, i was a private citizen, i offered to come to that congressional hearing without a subpoena, they chose to subpoena me anyways, the hearing was supposed to start at 10 00, started at 1 00 oclock, i accommodated them in every opportunity i could. Well, youve never misled me, do you regret in the heat of the moment making the declaration that you feel like you need to tell the truth under oath but not to journalists . Howie, i regret the fact that i should have explained it better and specifically as it related to my tenure in front of the special counsel, but i did that out of respect for the special counsel and the investigative process and at the advice of council so we didnt spend countless hours answering the questions while the investigation continued. You really got into it the next day with cnns alice, lets take a look at the exchange. If you want to ask the questions, you can become a journalist yourself. Are you a journalist or are you not, is that what you are . Corey, listen, let me tell you something i would be happy to answer your questions. Youre listening with your mouth. What was your take away from the interview . You know, howie, the first question out of allisons mouth, mr. Lewandowski refused to answer the majority of the committees questions, thats a factual inaccurate and dont reprend to be a journalist and start with factual, they employ andy mccabe who we know by Inspector General horowitz lied at least 3 times under oath, has criminal referral pending against him and waiting for the grand jury in washington, d. C. To indict him and they dont disclose the information before he come on television, so as a guest on a Television Show they are trying to hold me to a different standard to own employees and i think theres a shame of it and thats why they didnt want to talk about it. I work with allison when she was here at fox, i dont think shes pretending to be a journalist, you go on cnn, you were going to get a hard time. You were combative, no question about it, chairman nadler says hes considering holding you in contempt of congress, nancy pelosi reported to have said she would have held you in contempt right there, your response . Look, the house rules are the house rules and you cant hold me in contempt of congress right there and nancy pelosi acknowledges much later, i cannot control what the Democrat Judiciary Committee is going to do to me. I answered every question that i was allowed to, the only time i didnt answer a question if it related to a private conversation between the president and myself or a Senior Member of his team and myself and thats because i have i dont hold the executive privilege, the president is the only one who can waive that privilege and the advice of the White House Council they asked me to preserve the privilege, if they want to hold me in contempt for 6 hours, i think its shameful, nothing i can do about it but i think the American People will be outraged by it. Washington post says in a story, talked over lawmakers, dodged questions and made snob remarks. Howie, they said to think that were disgusting the only reason they get away with it because they are democrat, they call me a thug, criminal, might be member of the mafia, they spoke over me and didnt give me the opportunity to answer the questions that they asked because they didnt want to treat me with the same respect but because of my conservative and support donald trump and because they didnt want to hear there was no collusion, mo obstruction, they decide today talk over me. Finally, during the break in the hearing, you put a website, lets urge corey to run for senate in new hampshire, looks to me like youre running, you think the hearing helped you in your potential run but i dont know whether a contempt of Congress Citation might hurt you. You know, howie,i cant control if congress will hold me in contempt, i hope they dont. Look, if they do, the American People are going to see exactly how much of a charade this really is. They want to hold me in contempt for coming and answering questions, it might just propel me to launch u. S. Senate campaign to make sure i can go to washington, d. C. And change the rules and make sure no american has to go through what i just did. I did get the impression that youre about to run, Corey Lewandowski thank you very much for coming on. Thank you. President trump has been watching media buzz posted this on twitter quoting Mollie Hemingway. , it is a false hoax, goes onto say zero people were fired at the times, why . Thats happening in realtime, after the break joe biden telling reporters they should be investigating donald trump as the uproar over the phone call with ukraine shift it is spotlight for the former vp. Al. The only one to combine a safe sleep aid and the 12hour painrelieving strength of aleve. That dares to last into the morning. So you feel refreshed. Aleve pm. Theres a better choice. This is the family who wanted to connect. To go where they could explore and experience adventure in unexpected places. Who were inspired by different cultures and found that the past can create new memories. Leading them to discover were woven together by the moments we share. For everywhere you go, expedia has everything you need, all in one place. Pressing the investigate joe biden and his son hunter as first reported by the wall street journal has shifted the spotlight to former Vice President , reporters started asking him about a potential scandal that had faded after investigative reports by several news outlets. You should be asking him the question why be on a phone with a foreign leader trying to intimidate a foreign leader if thats what happened, thats what appears that happened, you should be looking at trump, trump is doing this because he knows i will beat him like a drunk and using abuse power and every almost of the presidency to try to do something to smear me. Animated joe Biden Joining me here in washington emily, reporter at the federalist, emily, joe biden bragged about the fact that he pressured ukraine into firing its prosecutor at a time when there was an open case of gas company that paid a lot of money to gas hunter, should that overthat do i media allegations about the president and alleged pressuring. The biden allegations, this stuff still does not pass the smell test, theres been a lot of investigation and with all the investigation doesnt pass the smell test, hes still going to have to answer for it, it may to turn out that there was a there there, we still dont know, the details will unfold as the reporting continues, but at this point they are rising together and i see no problem with that frankly. Jessica, the president said this morning that joe biden lied when he said he hadnt discussed matter with hunter because hunter was quoted that they had briefly discussed it once, as the media per study question about the president ial phone call, they can hardly ignore the substance of what is alleged here to be some funny business involving the bidens. But they havent ignored it, they debunked the original report from New York Times, kim from the times should be embarrassed about whats going on, they are using him as evidence that joe biden is guilty and the president is exonerated of that, thats a very bad position for the New York Times to be in and it does pass the smell test because when the prosecutor in ukraine was fired, the case was already closed into the company that hunter biden had been on the board of. The timeline matters. Emily what . Why was hunter making so much money . He got a sweet job. Yeah, that doesnt matter, that doesnt make joe biden guilty of something, it happened a year later and supported by allies first of all to put pressure on president of ukraine to fight the corruption in his country, the state department backed it, the doj backed it. Joe biden was absolutely correct to get up in reporters faces youre asking the wrong question. All right, let me jump in here because the president tweeted over the weekend the Fake News Media wants to stay as far as possible from joe biden story, but we did a search and found well over a dozen major stories in this. Let me read you headlines, 2015, joe biden son and case against ukrainian oligarch, Vice President said ukraine should increase Gas Production and son got a job with ukrainian company. Will hunter biden jeopardize his fathers campaign. Not at all, i think its been pretty solid, on top of that i would say biden is the medias least favorite of the 2020 democratic candidates, its not hes getting a pass from the media on the story, i think i said earlier as the question about the call rises and the media focus, i think this is going to continue to rise too because of major 2020 candidates, joe biden is the media favorite. Abc, cnn, msnbc talking about hunter and ukraine, i think the president and the white house and Rudy Giuliani would like more talk about the media on focus being on the bidens. That seems physically impossible considering what ive been talking about in the past few days and what happened when the New York Times piece originally came out, i want to highlight in the first piece in the 17th paragraph, thats pretty far down and important story, no evidence that joe biden did anything wrong. This stinks like the uranium one story, the Mainstream Media does not like joe biden, they are going after him in every which way here but you need to be really careful about propping up fake scandals that are going to hurt peoples careers for no reason. Well, further investigation will determine whether its a fake scandal, rare moment of agreement, let me get a break, john bolton hitting the president on Foreign Policy and the president punching back, thats next. I know that every single time that i suit up, there is a chance thats the last time. 300 miles per hour, thats where i feel normal. I might be crazy but im not stupid.

Live pictures of President Trump coming down the stair way from air force one, outside of houston, texas where hes being greeted by local dignitaries, days after being punished out of the white house, trump sent terrible signal by inviting taliban to camp david which was disrespectful to 9 11 victims, canceling a retaliatory air strike against iran over the downing of u. S. Drone, trump emboldening tehran. John was not able to work with anybody and a lot of people disagreed with his ideas and a lot of people were critical that i brought him on in the first place because of the fact that he was in favor of going in middle east and he got sucked in quick sand and we became policemen for middle east. Any question in your mind that john bolton talking to 60 conservative donors new sharp criticism would leak . John bolton is a media savvy guy and airing grievances without running directly to the press itself. What it does do is further clarify the disagreements that they had which in and of itself further clarifies the president s Foreign Policy which is helpful. A little diplomatic, he didnt come on fox news to say the things, hes joining of exaides who are critical of trump . Has he joined the ranks of exaides . No, i we know exactly who he is, it wasnt matchmade in heaven from day one, you have President Trump who is early days in campaign trail, im antiwar, i want to pull out, we dont need to be in the middle east, iraq was a mistake, afghanistan, et cetera, hiring john bolton is not going to mesh well with that kind of ideology, no surprise here. Speaking of Foreign Policy, a lot of chatter and some criticism in the media of why the president hasnt launched military strike against iran in response to saudi arabia attack, here is what he had to say . When i was running everybody said, oh, hes going to get into war, hes going to get into war, hes going to blow everybody up. Thats the easiest thing i could do. Its so easy and for all of those who say, they should do it, it shows weakness, actually in my opinion it shows strength. Emily, i think the president is right on this, the media have tilt that military action is the strong thing to do, u. S. Must stand tall and using restraint is weak and he disagrees . You know its interesting because at this point different between establishment media, i agree differently, favor hawkishness. I think what we are seeing play out that the establishment media is dominant force. Jessica, the media consensus is that trump is conflicted, likes to talk tough on Foreign Policy but he hesitates to pull the trigger . Yeah, we do have the most beautiful military of all time and, you know, how much invested and we could win any war at any second which i have full faith in the men and women who serve this country in that capacity but the president doesnt want to go to war, thats what happened here and the incident with the american drone, we would be going to war for saudi arabia and thats very different, i understand john bolton and a number of hawks objection to what happened and there wasnt retaliation earlier, but this is very different and we are also taking word of the saudi who is i know that they are, quote, unquote, their allies but they are a big bunch of liers and killed journalist jamal khashoggi. Of course. Millions of americans agree on not rushing into war with iran. Including me. Okay, we have to go.
