before this is sometimes like covering bad reality television. it does sometimes sound like the real housewives of d.c. unfortunately these are the real leaders of the usa, and, you know, the president, for example, this morning, was tweeting that senator corker was set up when, in fact, the new york times as audio of senator corker agreeing with jonathan martin at the new york times that they would both record that interview. there was no setup if they were both talking to each other and both recording that interview. it goes to show you that at times, getting back to their own set of facts, this white house just lives in an alternate universe, a universe of alternate facts. you saw that play out today. it s also interesting because senator corker, one of the criticisms he made was that the president says things in tweets which are not true, and everybody knows it. and the people at the white house know it. and then the next day the president tweets out something which is not tr
now, it s interesting, anderson, sarah sanders was quoting another senator there, the late senator pat moynihan, who came up with that quote. you re entitled to your opinion, but you re not entitled to your own facts. that s amusing, i think, anderson because after all this is a white house that has talked about alternative facts. so they re accusing the senator of trying to use his own set of facts when, in fact, the white house has tried to do the same thing themselves over the previous months of this administration. it s also i mean, again, it is a continuation of the feud, but to call it a feud and sort of put it in the same category as, you know, the feud between ivana trump and melania trump, it sort of undercuts the severity of what senator bob corker said and the fact that it was senator corker saying on the record i mean talking about the possibility of world war iii or the fear of world war iii, saying that he knows for a fact that every day people in the white house
the feud between corker and the president. reporter: also on the category, yes, this is real life, sarah sanders was asked about this back and forth between the president and senator bob corker. of course senator corker as you ve been reporting said that the president could be leading the country into world war iii. the president obviously responded to that earlier this morning with that tweet referring to senator corker as liddle bob corker, talking about going off on the senator s height. sarah sanders was asked earlier today what about this notion from senator corker that the white house is sort of an adult daycare center. here s what she had to say. look, senator corker is certainly entitled to his own opinion, but he s not entitled to his own facts. the fact is this president has been an incredibly strong leader on foreign policy and national security, and he s been a leader on this front. and i think that s been seen and demonstrated time and time again since he took office.
was reported in forbes that he challenged essentially the secretary of state, rex tillerson, to an iq test, that they should compare their iq tests. this was of course after tillerson called the president a moron. when sarah sanders was pressed on that during the briefing, she said it was all a joke, that the president s comment about taking an iq test was a joke and that the white house press should have a sense of humor. now, i did talk to a source this evening, anderson, who was close to the white house who says, no, the president was not joking when he made that comment. this is the quote that was given to me from the source. they knew he was pissed that people found out tillerson called him a moron, and he spouted off about the iq test because he was mad. this white house knows it was not a joke. and speaking of not being amused by all of this, heather nowart, the state department spokesperson, was asked about all this earlier today, and she insisted that tillerson does, in fact v
