one of the big reasons donald trump won the election is that the american people no longer trust the media. the media has become flagrant in their seething hatred of donald trump wait, wait. can i just ask you what you thought of michelle wolf? did she go too far? she s a comedian. she s not the media. i mean i think it was too far. it was mean-spirited. the white house correspondents dinner used to be fun because the left and the right would take playful jabs at each other. it was all in good fun. last night was just nasty and full of hatred. it wasn t fun anymore. i think trump made the right decision by not going to the white house correspondents dinner. it sent a message. what is a white house correspondents dinner without the president. ladies, i m going to say thank you and in the last five seconds my audio dropped out so if you said something super provocative, it s yours and you re going to own it. next, frightening video technology to create fake news that s alarm
associates communicating with the russians on an ongoing basis. this is just the report that you release when you tank the investigation from the beginning, when the republicans worked in concert with the white house to obstruct the investigation from day one when chairman nunez went to the white house on his midnight run. did you say 11 administration officials or campaign officials that were communicating regularly with russia? 11? yeah. after they shut down the investigation, the house republicans, what did we learn? that mr. gates and mr. manafort in the weeks leading up to the campaign were communicating with russians linked to their military intelligence apparatus. this added to the night that we already knew about before. let s remember the trump tower meeting where the president s
aid the president. congressman, is there evidence that the president was aware of these 11 that you speak of and their contacts with russia? was he aware of them communicating with russia? look, i ll just use one example. if you read mr. bannon s book, he said himself that it s very hard to imagine that his son didn t have this meeting at trump tower with russians. you need dirt. and then go directly up to his father and talk about it. he said he thought he brought those people up to meet the candidate. i don t know if that took place, but it is very hard to imagine with the people we re talking about mr. cohen, general flynn, and so many others that the president wasn t aware. but i m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he allows us to let this investigation go forward. if he allows mr. mueller and mr. rosenstein to do their work.
correspondents dinner. fair? fair characterization, you think? well, if you look at the substance of the jokes that she made, she certainly did target the press secretary. look at the reaction more broadly today, it has been very, very polarizing. it is interesting, some of these speeches when you look at them, some of these routines over the years have had more tension than others. a few years ago stephen colbert s routine when george w. bush was president also got a lot of attention, got a lot of criticism from some people. clearly bush was not happy about that. i think we re going to see this conversation continue in the coming days. it doesn t look like this is something that s going to sort of fade into the background. it was a very polarizing routine and the country at large is also very, very polarized over this white house, over this administration and this president. and it seems like this conversation s going to continue nationally. you know one thing we are doing? we ar
to lead healthier lives and that s invaluable. new evidence this morning from democrats on the house intelligence committee alleges obstruction of justice by the president. the minority report released friday says testimony from fired acting fbi director andrew mccabe described veiled threats against former fbi director james comey. intel committee ranking member adam schiff questioned mccabe asking mccabe if the threats were along the lines of, i, the president have been very loyal to you. i want you to lift the cloud unless i might be less loyal to you. mccabe replied, that s
