trump is doing what he said he s going do, at least with the executive orders, at least trying to put it in place. if not for self-inflicted wounds where he s talking about thikz there are no facts to back up, the media would be talking about that. so the same thing with madonna. what gets a headline is the controversial thing that s right. you that say. madonna s been around long enough. she should know that and she should know that when she behaves that way she s not going to get out the message she supposedly intends to. you mentioned earlier this golfer bern 4hard langer. another one of your colleagues glenn thrush wrote about that. langer responded today saying unfortunately the new york times and other outlets was mischaracterization by the media. the voting situation reported was not conveyed from me to president trump but rather was told to me by a friend. i then related the story in conversation with another friend who shared it with a person with ties to the wh
everybody else needs to change. and as long as they believe that the media will cover everything that they do. as long as they believe that as soon as donald trump treats something it becomes breaking news, saturating every television and every on-line news site they were going to keep doing what they were doing, and the press, the traditional way, you need to have a relationship with reporters and needed to rely on them to help get your message out and communicate with the morning people. they now believe as we saw during the election, they can do whatever they want. and whether you like them or hate you, they call you names and assault you you re going to cover them more than anything else going on in the world. if that is the case they feel like they have the freedom to say and do whatever they want. i think timothy said it best, he said we re not at war with the press, but with information. the one thing that those who love the first amendment have to remember is they need not
understanding. the mexican senator i spoke with today said there seems to be a lack of understanding on how much we are connected, given trade, given immigration, any of the issues that you may have with a neighboring country. but it s interesting that we are hearing that message come out of the white house because we re also hearing that message come out of the mexican presidency, saying i wish that there was a little more understanding and listening from the white house. essentially take your own advice. thank you very much. i appreciate all of you. when we come right back, president trump meeting tomorrow with british prime minister theresa may. but she got some advice ahead of the meeting from someone you might not expect. to err is human.
they are following through on issues that got them there with their base. and quite frankly i don t think that they think they have to play to those who didn t vote for them. if you re not going to get on the train then you re going to be left behind. and i really think that s going to be the governing philosophy. at some point, don, you and i, david and jeff all know that that s not a winning way. so at some point they are going to have to change their tune and steve bannon s going to have to change his tune. but let s not forget, he was playing us. he is trying to play the media right now against the american public. he s trying to play to his base, to hear those comments and say steve bannon, right on. so he feels like he s probably doing the right thing. winning doesn t always mean that you re right. it just means that you won. thank you very much. hey, don? go ahead, leyla, yes. i just think it s an interesting point that that s the message coming out of the white house be
humiliated and keep its mouth shut and listen for a while, mr. bannon said for a while. i want you to quote this, mr. bannon added, the media here is the opposition party they don t understand this country they still don t understand why donald trump is the president of the united states. what do you think? well, i think there s one good point in there which is there are things about america we all missed during this last campaign and there were voices in america we didn t hear. but i think that statement is the height of arrogance and the summit of defensiveness. let s remember here what we got so wrong and what we don t understand. how well do steve bannon and donald trump understand america when they lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes? yeah, i know, voter fraud. prove it, right? how well do they understand america when donald trump right now is sitting on a 36% favorable or approval rating or however that one s classified? you know, he is this is the end of a week t
