Have exposed the credibility of the press. They have the lowest credibility. Given trumps reliance on free publicity and the access to news shows, including this one, its worth remembering the joke someone cracked during the campaign. Donald trump complaining about media is like an oil man complaining about the smell of crude. So this morning, we will take a close look at this love hate relationship between donald trump and the press. I will talk to the editors of the New York Times and the wall street journal. To a group of top media critics from around the country. But i will start with three people whose job it has been to work for a president and deal with him every day of the week as well as deal with the relationship between the president and the working press. Joe lockheart who was bill clintons press secretary in the second term, Nicole Wallace and ari i asked them about the art of working with a president and what they think we can expect from a president trump. Lets dive righ
Politics, spin, but theres a lot of policy and you better learn it fast. I guess i would say how hard is it to kick the partisan thing at the beginning of this when you go in when you transition . How hard is that . Well, i mean, we worked for someone whose top priority after winning an election was really bringing the country together. The first time he ran as a uniter. He came in after the recount which was excruciating for the country. He was acutely aware of that. So he didnt have an urge to continue campaigning after he had won. Reelection was even more so. We were a country engaged in two wars with uneven trajectories at the time of his second inauguration. So there was no resistance on his part to sort of refocusing the countrys attention on governing. I think its an exercise in as a candidate you are responsible for nothing. All problems are made by someone else. All solutions are magically doable. You can implement that. You say it. You just say it. All candidates know that. T

I dont think its good. I dont think it has any parallels to the past. I think he wants them like an addict craves their drug. The press corps is one of the least re the most reluctant institutions to change. Technology has changed. Everything is changing. The White House Press corps is still largely dominated and defined by the habits of people in the 90s. It hasnt changed much. Lets make some changes here. You could make changes. I have my own ideas. I will wait until you what are some changes in the relationship between the White House Press corps and some traditions you think deserve theres been talk of upending some of them. What would you like to make . Im most intrigued by the notion that trump doesnt think he needs or wants to have a protective pool. The protective pool exists so that on days like 9 11, a president can speak not just to his press or to this country but to the world. I think changes his mind about the need for protective pool and maybe getting the press to be mor
Love are you and ned ryan who joins us from cpac. Was it as electric as it looked to us on tv . It looked like he had the crowd eating out of his hand. The energy, the excitement. Multiple standing ovations. He had to tell the crowd to sit down multiple seems. Ed the one line that stood out to me is the gop will become the party of the American Worker. If trump can do that between now and 2020, he shored up 9 conservative vote with neil gorsuch he will win the next election hands down. Charles last year donald trump was not at cpac. But its been a long time and and lot has changed. What did you make of whats going on now and not on the reception, but the remaking of the conservative movement . Throughout the year President Trump stuck to his agenda. He won people like the tea party over to his promises. Way saw today as i watched his speech is hes continuing to advocate the same agenda he ran on. Hes keeping his promises and we have every reason to believe he will continue to do that.
