press is good press maxim, wrong. most of his press is bad. i think it helps him. howard: when you push back against the press as a campaign person, how is that different except perhaps in tone than the president doing it? because he s not just some guy sitting next to me like david. he is a high responsibility to not do this. he didn t get the memo. the media is offended because this president doesn t bow to him. he does it his way every saturday and they are offended by it. they lash out at him. they are offended by his form of truth. howard: got to go. still to come, or the media capturing the anger of america on the brink of the election? fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate helps you. with drivewise.
democrats to fusion gps where they made up this fake dossier, that it was funneled back into the fbi by the wife of the person who is paid to make it in part and he also financially benefited from making it, his wife was paid by fusion gps and then that thing was brought back to the fbi after he was discredited? that s not going to change anyone s mind? jessica: i think you do know a lot of it in the new york times which is not failing has been covering the bruce ohr story very closely. part of the issue is what devin nunes was saying in his the fisa warrant on carter page started when he was a trump campaign official but it didn t, it started before that so wasn t about spying on a trump person, that was about the fact that carter page has been bragging for years that he is an advisor to the kremlin. harris: at some point, he became a campaign person. space is how he is is we ve got to get trump. this is about we ve got to get
a multiday news cycle. when i think originally their plan was to roll their eyes at it, try to cast omarosa as an uncredible source and basically to not really acknowledge or respond to it. yes, it gets a lot more dicey for the white house when people deny things, but then they turn up on tape. we ll see exactly what she has. again, these tapes that she s released, we re only seeing the little bits of them she wants us to see. let s talk about these ndas. you know, if trump s got people signing nondisclosure agreements and now he s going to court basically to say she s got to stop, who may have the legal upper hand here? probably omarosa. for a number of reasons. first of all, nondisclosure agreements are not impossible in the context of government employees, but they re not just realistic. government employees don t have the same first amendment rights.
