You can see something very, very special. We need to be looking at whether this election was rigged by donald trump and his buddy vladimir putin. Theres no evidence among ano, maam mouse sources. The attorney general must recuse himself. I call fake news the enemy of the people and they are. This is new day. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your new day. It was a mistake of epic proportion unfolding at last Nights Academy awards. The wrong envelope leading the presenters to announce the wrong winner for best picture and brought the oscars to an awkward halt. Moonlight ended uptaking home the big prize. Hollywoods biggest night had share of political moments. Taking on the travel ban with a lesson of inclusion as the president heads to capitol hill to make his first address in congress. Up all night. Right at the end of the show on top of it, chris, a big moment there. The biggest award of the night and then you have this major snafu and you can see that everyone is in shock. The audience on their feet and if you missed it take a look. La la land. The Academy Awards are billed as hollywoods biggest night but this years ceremony ended with what could be one of the biggest screw ups in its history. You guys won best picture. This is not a joke. Im afraid they read the wrong thing. This is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture. Moonlight. Best picture. It was a la la land producer that announced the gap. Im a little bit in a daze. They just handed us an envelope and we just started accepting and everybody came up and there were people with head sets that started coming out on the stage and it was suddenly clear that something wasnt right. Very clearly. Even if my dreams this could not be true. This is true. Its true. Its not fake. We have been on the road with these guys for so long and that was so gracious and generous to them. My love to everybody. The reactioning backstage were equally confusing. Is that the craziest oscar moment of all time . Cool. Guys we made history tonight. I noticed the comotion that was happening and i thought something strange had occurred. And then im sure everybody saw my face but i was speechless. After the mistake with the biggest prize was corrected moonlight into the night with three wins; best picture, adapted screen play and actor in a surveillance porth role. He becomes the first muslim actor to win an Academy Award. Its not about you. Its about these characters. You are serving, youre in service to these stories and these characters and im so blessed to have had an opportunity. A new record was set for the most black oscar winners in a single year with five taking home awards in four different categories. Its important to take a second to appreciate what is happening here. Were at the oscars. The Academy Awards. Youre nominated. You got come. Your families are nominated. Some of you get to come up here and give a speech that the president of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 00 a. M. Bo werks l movement tomorrow. Jimmy kimmel took jabs at President Trump throughout the telecast it was the best Foreign Language film win where politics took center stage. Boycotting the award show in protest of President Trumps travel ban on 7 majority muslim countries. Iranian american astronaut accepted on his behalf. These prevent democracy and human rights in country which is have themselves been victims of aggression. All right. Now back to that big snafu emma stone did hold on to hers and the other person can confirm what it said on stage but one card was not discarded and somehow ended up in warren beaty and fayes hands. And just to put this into perspective chris and allison when you take a look at a movie like moonlight shot over 25 days and made for about 1. 5 million this would have been a huge upset on its own that moonlight won over la laland but thats all being overshad doed but i have to tell you after talking to both camps, there is a lot of love between those two films and the people that made these films and you can see that in the way they spoke about each other. So a lot of class in how both sides handled this. Thats nice. Thank you for all of that. Some people say this is reminiscent of what happened with the epic mistake that steve harvey made when hosting the Miss Universe pageant and steve harvey tweeted a few moments ago. Good morning, everybody. Went to sleep early last night. So what did i miss . The Miss Universe contest also tweeted to the oscar people. Have your people call our people we know how to handle this. But big difference. That was on steve harvey. This was supposedly not on them. It wasnt on them it was on the accounts although did you see how that producer this is sensitive to us as talent did you see how the producer snatched that cards. It was almost like you people cant do anything right. He recognize wd where the camera was, let me show you who won. He made sure he cut it off as soon as possible. Turned into a net positive. That was classy. So the Trump Administration is expected to reveal its Budget Proposal in a few hours ahead of the president s big primetime address at a joint session in congress. Also have a huge tax cut. So what are they going to do about the deficits where the politics poisoned his own hands. Joe johns live at the white house with more. This could be the First Political show down between trump and the tea party. The deficit hawks. Thats very right as a matter of fact, chris, among the things we know was going on theyre expected to give us a better idea of the budget blueprint. The first budget blueprint for this administration. As you said they are expecting to ramp up spending for the pentagon, cut back spending for many of the other agencies and theyre going to leave the entitlement Social Security and medicare alone. President trump expected to call for a substantial increase in military spending and cuts for several federal ayen sis and the first draft of the administration Budget Proposal. The plan targeting agencies including the Environmental Protection agency while aiming to protect Social Security and medicare. Ahead of a meeting with the National Governors association this morning. Youre going to see something very, very special. Trump repeating criticisms and vowing to scrap obamacare despite a lack of republican unity around any plan. It doesnt work but were going to have it fixed and were going to repeal and replace. His first address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, trump trying to project an image of success. Its been a lot of fun but we have accomplished almost everything we started out to accomplish. This amid growing calls for an independent investigation into alleged communications between Trump Campaign aids and russians known to u. S. Intelligence. Leaders on both side of the aisle suggesting a Justice Department lead by attorney general Jeff Sessions cant be impartial. You cannot have a friend of mine Jeff Sessions on the campaign and who is an appointee. Youre going to need to use the special prosecutors statute. The attorney general must recuse himself. The American People need towns whether the russians in cahoots with the trump folks and others rigged the election. President trump attempting to kwaush the headlines tweeting russia talk is fake news and played up in the media in order thomas k the dpeet and the white house taking unprecedented measures to clamp down on leaks. To make sure that they werent using texting apps or corresp d corresponding with reporters. Asking them not to leak information about the meeting or the track down effort. Today the president is expected to meet again with members of the National Governors association and were also expected to see Top Republican leaders from capitol hill here at the white house talking with the president in advance of his big speech to Congress Tomorrow. Back to you. Joe, thank you for all of that. Joining us now is the former director of Senate Affairs for the Trump Campaign and a former senior official for President Trumps transition. Thank you for being here. Welcome to the program. Sure. Happy to be here. Lets talk about what joe johns was laying out there in the piece. The questions that persist about the contacts that were made from people on the trump team with russia. You were part of the transition. What do you know about the relationship between team trump and russia . Well, i think right now Everybody Needs to take a step back. All we really know, the only thing thats come out is that the National Intelligence community illegally wiretapped a private citizen having a conversation. Thats the only thing we know. The rest of it is very imprecise allegations and rumors and inuendo. I dont know what the allegation is about the contacts. Ill spell it out for you. There were repeated contacts between high level trump aids and russia and that this was before mr. Trump was in the white house. Which of course as we know theres only one president at a time so that would run afoul of rules and tradition that you dont start negotiating with russia forever hand as well as because of mr. Foreman trumps tone perhaps the relationship was cozy. I think again like i said what we have is the National Intelligence community with illegal tapping letting out that information to the Washington Post in an effort to take out former National Security adviser Michael Flynn and i think if you take a step back at some of the other election where is allegations like this have been made, particularly in 96 with the chinese fundraising we had actual evidence of the chinese trying to influence the election through financial contributions. The president was making fundraising calls out of his official office. Those are real illegal activities. What were talking about here again is just a imprecise allegation and again the only real fact that we have is that the National Intelligence community illegally capped Michael Flynn a private citizen having conversations. So you dont think that what the 17 intel Agency Versus said about russia hacking the dnc you dont think that thats real evidence. I dont think we have all the facts in that regard. All im say as good what has been reported so far and what we do know doesnt lead to an investigation that even needs to occur. A lot of this is just confusion that the media is trying to pull it up. To distract the president from implementing his agenda. But again how is it medias fault or that the media is concocting the fact that there was hacking from the russians . We dont know what has been said or hasnt been said between the intelligence communities. All we know is what ive already talked about and at this point i dont think theres enough for an investigation to even go forward. The intel agencies do listen in on phone calls of russian officials. So why do you believe that what they did was illegal when they captured the phone call with Michael Flynn. Well, Michael Flynn is a private citizen and he has his own rights. I dont think they should be wiretapping private citizens in the United States and releasing that to the media. Its a dangerous place to go and probably somewhere most americans will agree with. Democrats, liberals, and others can agree an releasing information to the media. As they were listening in on the russian diplomat as they do and they capture whoever he talks to. You know what they did in terms of their surveillance, the only point here is an illegal tap of a private citizen. They took him out from the National SecurityAdvisory Committee in his nsa position and the same attorney general, acting attorney general at the time that made an allegation and was subject to blackmail from russia. That is bureaucracy in d. C. That is trying to thwart the president s agenda at every turn. Are you saying you dont think there needs to be an investigation into this. Thats not in question. I certainly support that. No question there. What im say as good in terms of investigation and even what congressm Congress Said over the weekend we need to look careful at this going forward. The only illegal activity is on the part of the interNational Intelligence community. We just dont know. Theres reports that theres other high level trump team advisers, Paul Manafort that also may have had contacts and are still being investigated. Well have to wait and see what the rules of the investigations are. President trump has taken offers and across the federal bureaucracy so he can start changing the course of state so we can move our agenda down the field and a lot of the conversation swres been having so far, all the nonsense at the or cars last night is just a distraction from getting that accomplished but we have a bureaucracy and judiciary thats very activist in terms of rolling back his executive order on immigration and democrats slow rolling the whole nomination process and holding up him getting his team in place. By this point in the balm administration, i think their nominees is about twice what President Trumps is right now. As you pointed out its also the republican congressman thats calling for a special prosecutor. Do you feel he is . Hes in a tough race, a close race. I think hes taking care of his election back home. Which ever congressman probably needs to do to make sure that they get reelected. I dont hold him at fault for any of that. Even from his original comments on the show when he called for some kind of investigation. First it was an independent prosecutor and then over the weekend he walked back to having osc, office of special council to the investigation which is an entirely different matter in terms of the level of seriousness. Okay. We will see where all of this goes from here. Thank you for being on new day. Thank you pleasure. Its a good conversation. Just to be clear he won his election. Very close, hotly contested. But he won. Shouldnt be campaigning right now. I think hes referring to the town halls. Youve seen the ground swell against republicans. We heard that they think that he is somehow appeasing some constituent. Its a little cynical and also mike flynn was not wiretapped, okay . The russian was wiretapped. He got picked up on a call. Thats deceptive and incorrect. The idea that we dont know what the Intelligence Community thinks about whats happening. They came out not once but twice. They were clear about there being no dispute about the ownership of the hacked responsibility. It was russia. Investigations continue. They do but that we know. He was one of Hillary Clintons biggest supporters. Why was President Trump singing his praises last night . Virginias democratic governor is on. Why do some cash back cards make earning bonus cash back so complicated . They limit where you can earn bonus cash back to a few places. And those places keep changing every few months.
