Interviews with the white house. We dont expect that. But we dont even tend to show a lot of tape of the president or spend a lot of time engaging like with his tweets and stuff because i dont mean this in a mean way. I dont really mean this as a criticism. Its just a fact, an observational fact, that a hallmark of this presidency is that the president frequently says stuff in public that isnt true. And i therefore usually dont want to put things he says on tv because i dont want to help him or anyone spread untrue things, spread madeup stuff thats being said for nonsense or political purposes. I mean its a weird this is an uncomfortable truth about how we produce this show now. It is a weird time to be in the News Business where you really reliably cannot play any tape from the sitting president of the United States without also bookending it with, you know, caveats and corrections and clarifications about all the things the president just said that are false. So what has evolved over

I mean its a weird, this is an uncomfortable truth about how we produce this show now. It is a weird time to be in the news business, where you really reliably cannot play any tape from the stitting president of the United States, without also bookending it with caveats and corrections, and clarifications, about all of the things the president just said that are false. So what has evolved over the past three, whatever years of this presidency is, that we usually just dont bother. We report on what the administration does, and not on what the pr

Dr. Deborah birx did not. Cdc director Robert Redfield, they did not either. Or he did not either. According to a Senior Administration official, informal conversations have been taking about, quote, what to do, unquote, about dr. Redfield. Another source telling cnn hes worried he might have a target on his back, and that senior official tells us the directors fear is not unfounded. Late today, the president yeah. I do. I do. Its fake news, kaitlan. Fake news. Therefore, you can report it on cnn. Its perfect for cnn. Well, the president has of course said similar things about people that he then goes on to fire.

President said was threatening state governors if they dont arrange voting in a state in a way he thinks will help his reelection. Well talk about that tonight.

And steve, were hearing from u. S. Officials, as sect of state john kerry on thursday said allies are reversing gains made by sear so do you agree with that assessment . Well i think isis continues to control a very very large swath of land. It has not been rolled back nearly as much. When you look at the amount of fire power thrown at it. It has shown a real resilience as it may be taking hits in places like kobani near the Turkish Border in syria and other places in northern iraq. So i think the story that john kerry shared in london the ot
