Feel your party, the Democratic Party does not Pay Attention to them any more you are more concerned with what bathroom people go into, to how they earn a living . What is the message. Very fair question. One, you give me credit. Its about 1 10. Its not a bad rate for me. Look, if we were going back in history to the 30s and 40s, and you asked the average working person, which party is the party of the Working Class in america . Overwhelmingly, people would have said it was the Democratic Party. Today people do not say that. And for good reason. No. When we talk about the greed on wall street, it wean the the republicans alone who did it, they did it with democrats. It was a democratic administration, not a republican
administration, that brought forth nafta, i think the democrats have got to make a fundamental choice, chris, that is which side are they on . You cannot be on the side of wall street, of the Drug Companies and the Insurance Companies and the big money and go to Working P
Im howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. Julian assange and, of course, the media and punching back on twitter, lets get back to my interview with sean spicer, i spoke to him from trump tower. Sean spicer, welcome. Thank you, howie. Donald trump tweeted, im asking the chairs of the house and Senate Committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with nbc prior to me seeing it. I can understand his concern, but does that signal as president he will be ordering Leak Investigations to find out Reporter Sources . Well, its not the Reporter Sources, its trying to figure out where it came from. Theres a big difference between reportest doing their job and
sourcing thicks and people in the government improperly giving Classified Information to people or potentially doing that. I think theres a big difference whether youre targeting the source or recipient. Right. Trumps twitter Feed Paralyzes and some seem say, hey, we shouldnt cover tweets which is ridiculous, why do you think the sho
Refuse to share information about the Islamic State with the United States. And official telling the post that trump revealed more information to the Russian Ambassador than we have shared with our own allies. Nbc news has not confirmed the reports about the meeting. Roughly an hour ago National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster emerged from the white house to offer this denial. Theres nothing that the president takes more seriously than the security of the American People. This story that came out tonight as reported is false. The president and the Foreign Minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. At no time at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any Military Operations that were not already publicly known. Two other senior officials who are present, including the Secretary Of State remember the
meeting the same way and have said that. Their on the record accounts should ou
Then President Obama had seven new cabinet level officials confirmed. Trump only as of right now has two. Do you think that youre going to be able to stop some of his nominees, or are you just trying to slow down the process . Well, let me say this. First, this cabinet is unusually unique and a lot different than others. We call it the swamp cabinet, billionaires and bankers. The number of wealthy people, the number of people rife with Conflicts Of Interest and the number of people who have disagreed with what trump has campaigned on is so much more than just any other cabinet weve seen, and so that means they need thorough review. Thorough review so they dont have Conflicts Of Interest, thorough reviews so we know, for instance, is dr. Price going to try to privatize or end medicare when trump campaigned against it . And and are republican colleagues, i dont blame them with this cabinet, have tried to rush it through. Advise and consent does not mean
very easily be confirmed who have
Every single president and every single Vice President has been audited by the irs every year of their time in office. And they all still routinely release their tax returns to the public every year so that excuse from trump and the Trump Campaign never made sense. Being under audit is excuse for not releasing your tax returns as a candidate or certainly as president. Also, the audit excuse never made sense for his past tax returns. Even if donald trump wanted to release nothing under current audit, well, what about years for which the audits are completed and closed . Any year of his taxes before, say, 2008, any year that was audited before then, those years presumably would be done being audited by now. Those would be closed. So why not release those earlier tax returns even if you dont want to release the current ones for which there isnt an excuse not to do anyway . Whether or not you are a supporter of donald trump in
general, whether or not you care whats in his tax returns, it o
