Together, were building a better california. Welcome. Anyone looking for a preview of how donald trump would hold a White House Press conference he said this could easily unfold again next year so we begin the hour with that with donald trump facing questions over his fundraising for veterans groups and his anger at being asked. He took aim at reporters including the senior White House Correspondent jim accosta. Reporter it was supposed to be a day for donald trump to salute the nations veterans and highlight the 5. 6 million hes raised for their causes. This is my check for 1 million. Reporter trump ticked off the more than 40 groups he claims are receiving donations. From the Fisher House Foundation to the Bob Woodruff Foundation but clearly furious after months of questions about where the money is going trump engaged in verbal conduct of his own. You know my opinion of the media is very low. Repter the news media. Instead of being like thank you very much mr. Trump or trump did a good job, everyone is saying who got it and you make me look very bad. Reporter so trump took aim at the reporters. You call us the dishonest press. It seems as if youre resistant to scrutiny. I like scrutiny excuse me. Ive watched you on television. Youre a real beauty. What i dont want is when i raise millions of dollars have people say like this sleazy guy from abc. He is a sleeze in my book. Reporter trump went on to say he never wanted in he credit for helping veterans causes. I never wanted credit for it. What i got was worse than credit. They were questioning me. Reporter but it was trump who launched his fundraising drive as a major media event rivaling a gop debate he was skipping. We raised close to 6 to be totally honest. I have to say, a lot more to come. Reporter the gop nominee fired off on questions over Trump University, the Real Estate School he founded thats being sued by students who say its a fraud. Newly documents is a play book that focussed on how to market more expensive courses to students. Trump has questioned the motive of the judge handling the case noting his ethnicity. So what happens is the judge who is mexican reporter when asked by he highlighted the judges heritage trump didnt answer. Im a man of principal and most of the people that took those courses have letters saying they thought it was great. Reporter as trump told reporters today his combative style isnt about to change. Even at White House Press conferences. Its going to be like this david. If the press writes false stories like they did with this jim, donald trump doesnt seem to feel very threatened about a thirdparty bid. How does he feel he did at todays News Conference. Reporter trump wrote off the not had a News Conference in a long time so hes trying to say today might have been rocky but at least hes holding News Conferences. That is true. In fact jake tapper asked Hillary Clinton about that today. Jim, thanks very much. Reaction now from the National Spokeswoman for the Trump Campaign. This press conference is fascinating to watch and interesting on a number of reasons. But one of the things donald trump said is that he did this thing and obviously any amount of money donated to Veterans Charities is a great thing and he gave millions of dollars of personal money as well but he seemed to take issue with the reporters asking where did the money go . Shouldnt reporters ask those questions. They should but i think the bigger question here is why is it so lopsided. The question on donald trump is 24 7 and we dont see any questions to Hillary Clinton over the Clinton Foundation. This event was put together in 4 hours and these were pledges that were made. So of course it took time to bring that money in and get that money allocated and get these charities vetted and get that money disbursed. The headline on cnn is trump admits he didnt raise 6 million. This is the type of bias that happens in the media that mr. Trump is talking about. Is it the reporters job to trump a candidate or is it the reporters job to be critical and question a candidate . I think its the reporters job to be nonbiased and to report the facts. This is the problem that we have here and mr. Trump is absolutely right. There are reporters out there who are very biased who are corrupt and who are activists, not actual journalists who want to get the information out to the people or we would be seeing Hillary Clinton questioned about the Campaign Contribution going to the Clinton Foundation and the 500,000 bill received in moscow but no ones talking about that in the media. The fact that you even know about that tells me that actually there has been a lot of reporting on that. Hillary clinton has probably been reported on more than any candidate or any individual for decades now. Just about everything no, not at all. So the fact that you know about a speech bill clinton made, the fact that you know about you didnt do your own reporting on that. Thats been reported by others. Absolutely. Theres information out there because there are journalists out there that do do their jobs but you dont see that in the 24 hour news cycle. Cnn spent a week talking about an audio recording in the 90s yet there is a audio on recording of Hillary Clinton defending a child sex offender. Youre wrong because that particular story and that particular audio was brought up by a trump supporter on my broadcast and we actually spent several weeks doing a story about it and we heard that story i think it was last week or two weeks ago. Headlines, 24 hours, anderson. The American Public knows this is whats happening. Whether or not people inside d. C. Or the media want to admit people know there is a bias when it comes to journalism and they know mr. Trump is being unfairly. Mrs. Clinton wont go on some of the news programs. I agree with you on that. In fact ive been saying this that your candidate has given interviews and i have actually not to use the word trumpeted the fact that youre candidate shows up for interviews and ted cruz and marco rubio and jeb bush, Hillary Clinton none of these others have actually done. So i dont think its fair to say he doesnt get credit for that because i give him credit for showing up and answering questions which a lot of politicians dont. Earlier today donald trump said that he didnt want credit for these donations that he wanted to keep it private, which is very possible but at the same time this whole thing started because he wasnt take part in the fox debate and he decided to do this and he decided im going to raise money at the same time for veterans. To say he didnt want attention paid to this the whole idea was for not people to watch the fox debate but to watch his event which was raising money for veterans, right. That makes it sound like this was some preconceived idea and that wasnt the case. Mr. Trump has a public Business Life and parts of his personal life but hes a very charitable person. The family as a whole are charitable people and they dont do these types of things publicly and thats what youre seeing translating with mr. Trump as a candidate. Yes, he did have a very public event. He released 22 charities that they were already going to be receiving those funds and so that should have been the end of it but the media kept pushing. In some cases the media was imapplying the trump you acknowledge that right that hes not mexican . Yes. His parents are mexican but i think the Bigger Picture here is the idea that mr. Trump also said during that same speech is that he doesnt like mr. Trump. Hes a trump hater and we do know that this judge is friends with the lawyers of the opposing this should have anyone settle said in a summary judgment. The judge moved it. Now, we are seeing another portion of acticism. The people out there t the voters know how detriments it can be. Take ifip where the panel, ne next. Big california boost. Gary johnson, on why he believes the country needs an alternative. Alternative. Noon betsy, your samples are here. Its so great to know that there is a hotel like holiday inn that we can count on. Lets do it we work with manufacturers that employ veterans. Oh wow a hotel looking to help Small Businesses succeed is incredible. Now members get more savings with your rate at holidayinn.

Switch and get up to 650 credits, per line. I spoke a moment ago with a trump spokesperson about Donald Trumps press Conference Today and his attacks on reporters as well as his attacks on a judge in the lawsuit against the so called Trump University. Back with the panel this hour. Lets talk about that press conference. Obviously any time for a republican candidate attacking the media it plays well with the base. Sure. It plays well with the base and it will continue to play well with the base as it did during the campaign but when you are in a general election you need to broaden that base. I think the question thats raised and i dont know the answer at this point is temperament. I think donald trump was angry and he lashed out at journalists and i know they are easy targets and thats okay but i think the questions will be raised and youll see Hillary Clinton doing it and others doing it about temperament. I think thats something hes going to have to answer. Ill throw this out. How much do you think this is about donald trump not having experience in politics and having had decades of relationships and coverage as a social figure, as a business figure and a figure in new york and not had the kind of cynical or aggressive or whatever it is vetting now that is being done. I think thats a huge part of what it is. He enters this race thinking i have plenty of media experience and he does but hes used to having them eating out of his hand and when theyre critical thats a small group of people. Now its theyre here to critique him. If a private civilian raises 6 million for veterans groups no one is going to say has the money been tributed. Thats a nice thing this person did and donald trump teams to have given a lot of money over the years gets that kind of coverage. Suddenly to be a candidate and saying you gave money as a candidate the questions are what groups and things like that. You said 6 million but you did 5. 6 million. Early on he did say 6 million. Thats what the Political Press does. Thats not what hes used to. Its different than the society press or the tv media press and this is only going to build. This is the national press. Ive done it in new york. They never let up and theyre not going to let up. I think what were going to see is more and more moments where he comes close to and then blows his top and for independent voters thats going to make them think do i want someone like that negotiating. One thing i think were forgetting here if you remember back in 1988 when then Vice President george h. W. Bush sat down with dan ratherer and rather tried to pin him down i think it was him who said go after him and bring up the fact that there was an incident where he walked off a set. So he turned on him and he did this and silenced him. Heres what we learned today about donald trump, im not going to change. Everybody was talking about will donald trump be more president ial is he going to change his tone and be more inclusive of the republican party. He came out today and said im not going to change. So all the republicans who are hopeful that they might be seeing a different kind of donald trump now that hes the presumptive nominee were told directly today that this is who i am so get over it. This is who im going to be. Its like papa, i am what i am. It worked for papa and it worked for donald trump. Up until now but i think the idea that a general election is completely different matters because independent voters arent as invested in a Party Structure or as married to party loyaltity. Theyre going to look at this and say wait a minute. Something that katrina said in your interview said she said its about the facts. Well, the facts are what got us here in the first place because the facts were that donald trump could not account for where the money went, the campaign was putting couldnt answer direct questions, simple questions about where the veterans money went. When they through an event together with 24 hours and they had a link going directly to the Trump Campaign website, which raises a red flag and against the irs rules, it took a Washington Post reporter to shame donald trump into writing that check. A number of checks werent written until the Washington Post article came out. The clinton supporting law firm in this Trump University case has nothing to do with the fact that the first cases were filed in 2013 against the Trump University fraud scheme. These are things that are facts. By the attorney general who was after the trump family for money didnt get it and started to do the okay. Fraud before he ever run for president. Those are facts that thats why were here and thats what the media is there to scrutinize those things. The attack on the media stuff does it play well in a general election. It does play well. I think it plays well with the independents. I think its part of all the crumbling of institutions and how people perceive people that have been in power and feeding them information and they think the Mainstream Media is smug. Let him finish. I will say he is controlling the discussion. He is dominating the air time once again and i dont think its going to be particularly damaging for him although i do think he went overboard and i think think starting to call people names is very unpresident ial but i dont think hes going to hurt him very much. Gary johnson was nominated this weekend as the libertarian candidate. The governor is not always included in polling but in polling two weeks ago he got 10 coming from voters under 35. First i want to play you a bit of what he said over the weekend after he was officially nominated. He was asked how he will be taking donald trump on. Im not taking him on on the fact that he wants to deport 11 million Illegal Immigrants. Taking him on on wanting to build a fence across the boarder thats nuts. Taking him on when he says mexicans are murderers and rapists. It is incendiary when she talking to about them in this way. Its contrary to 50 of the population of new mexico when the opposite is true. Absolutely. Call him out on what is really racist. Its just racist. I spoke with gary johnson a short time ago before we went on the air. Governor johnson congratulations on becoming the candidate. Do you obviously as we heard take issue with Donald Trumps immigration policies and your running mate has compared trumps deportation plan as a nazi policy against jews. Do you agree with that. I do. New mexico is one of the four minority, majority states. 50 of the population of new mexico is hispanic so what does that mean when were going to deport 11 million Illegal Immigrants. Half the state of new mexico is going to be subject to door knocking and paper checking. You see it as racist . I do. I think that first of all, he calls them murderers and rapists. They commit far less crime than u. S. Citizens. Theyre the cream of the crop when it comes to workers. Theyre not taking jobs that u. S. Citizens want. We should make it as easy as possible that somebody who wants to come in this country to work to get a work visa and that should entail a background check and a Social Security card so taxes get paid. Libertarians traditionally align more with republicans than democrats. Going forward do you see trump as your main rival and therefore the main target of your criti
