Im howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. Julian assange and, of course, the media and punching back on twitter, lets get back to my interview with sean spicer, i spoke to him from trump tower. Sean spicer, welcome. Thank you, howie. Donald trump tweeted, im asking the chairs of the house and Senate Committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with nbc prior to me seeing it. I can understand his concern, but does that signal as president he will be ordering Leak Investigations to find out Reporter Sources . Well, its not the Reporter Sources, its trying to figure out where it came from. Theres a big difference between reportest doing their job and
sourcing thicks and people in the government improperly giving Classified Information to people or potentially doing that. I think theres a big difference whether youre targeting the source or recipient. Right. Trumps twitter Feed Paralyzes and some seem say, hey, we shouldnt cover tweets which is ridiculous, why do you think the sho
Trust the president. New reporting on the president s humiliation of Jeff Sessions in the wake of the mueller appointment. And the Treasury Secretarys new excuse for asking the government to subsidize his honeymoon. They had to give up a lot to take these jobs. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The most prominent voices of the trump base discovered today what many of his Business Associates and customers learned long ago. If youre in business with donald trump, eventually youre going to end up on the wrong side of the deal. This afternoon in an offcamera session with reporters on Board Air Force one, the president defended his decision to work with democrats on a deal to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children. In exchange for increased Border Security. Im a republican through and through, but im also finding that sometimes to get things through, its not working that way. And, you know, we got very poorly treated on the hea
he came back with jokes and a message to the democrats. we ll have that just ahead. plus, the other headlines we re following. more inflammatory rhetoric by republicans against the president s supreme court nominee for her work as a public defender. another republican house member who voted to impeach donald trump announces retirement. tiger woods going for another green jacket. willie, going to do that, huh? he s playing. as we predicted, he s going to play. thinks he is going to play. less than 18 months away from an accident that, first look, was bad. almost lost his leg. it is an uphip climbuphill clim he believes he can win it. i like the attitude. never missed a cut at the masters. certainly, i wouldn t bet against him. as you say, uphill climb.
his exception from tennis australia is good enough for him to get into the country and to start the tournament. do you think this impacts him i mean, just as a player, psychologically, if he was allowed to play? he has this attitude me against the world a little bit. that made him always strong. i always call him a street fighter. he plays his best tennis. he is also very much against, you know, if the australian prime minister mentioned he is a betting man and wouldn t bet his house on it, i don t like his comments because he has still a human being trying to do the best he can. he is just a tennis player. he is not a politician. hopefully, he will win the judgment on monday. do you think in terms of his career, endorsements, anything like that, public perception, does that hurt him? this is nothing new that
psychologically, if he was allowed to play? he has this attitude me against the world a little bit. that made him always strong. i always call him a street fighter. he plays his best tennis. he is also very much against, you know, if the australian prime minister mentioned he is a betting man and wouldn t bet his house on it, i don t like his comments because he has still a human being trying to do the best he can. he is just a tennis player. he is not a politician. hopefully, he will win the zwru judgment on monday. do you think in terms of his career, endorsements, anything like that, public perception, does that hurt him? this is nothing new that novak has a difference of opinion on many things. hurts him for his preparation for the australian open. he hasn t touched a tennis ball in the last five, six days. if the judge were to vote in his favor, he would start minus zero. so that s probably the worst preparation. but, obviously, he is in the news for the wrong reasons right
