Woodward book. If someone wants to write an oped like this, resign and put your name on it. This is just gossip. Howie should the paper have published this antitrump scream. This as Bob Woodwards book bombshell portrays the white house as crazy town. President trump the book is a work of fiction. If you look at woodwards past he had the same problem with other president s. He likes to get publicity and sell some books. I talked to dozens and dozens of people and have notes and documentation of lots of things. Bob woodwards book on the Trump Administration is like nothing we have ever heard. Its like everything we have heard except worse and scarier. There are a bunch of people who say the president said these things. Its time for the come to say the Trump Presidency is a national knowledge. Apparently hundreds of anonymous people painting the Trump Presidency in a very negative light. Howie are the books undermining the president s credibility. Howie serena breaks down. was the umpire sexist . This is mediabuzz. What began as a media furor took a serious turn when the New York Times oped said trump is unstable and i am norm. His impulsiveness results in half baked and reckless decisions that have to be walked back. President trump responded on fox and friends. President trump if the New York Times has an anonymous editorial, we are doing a great job. Because really what they have done is virtually, its treason. Howie this official if the person exists, the president says committed treason. Sara fischer, and phillipe reines, former state department official. the president says he should be investigated by the department of justice. Mollie its an interesting story that we have someone claiming to have a power unto themselves. This is a person who is not elected. We dont even know which agency hes in, yet hes claiming to be involved in policy make and law making that the people have no right to know who they are. Howie you said this is a threat to our democracy . Mollie there have been all these allegations saying there is a deep state and hidden bureaucracy engaged in nefarious activity and this person went to the New York Times and said thats absolutely true. We have accountability for them. When they are secret in a bureaucracy, we have no way to hold them accountable. Howie the times editorial page knows who it is, this person is making serious charges, its news worthy. Sara well find out eventually. If the New York Times was to publish this knowing it will come out who it is, then they are risking their credibility if its not a senior official. We heard the New York Times podcast say the way they use senior officials, its not directly linked to the president. Howie times editors say they are proud they published it. Of course, they are, they detest President Trump. Phillipe i think any paper would have done it. Here is a problem with the deep state. Whether its five minutes for five days from now well know who it is. If you want to call him gutless. Hes employing gutless people. There are a lot of problems to this that we wont know until we find out who it is. Be careful how hunt for because you night find them. This might be someone 10 feet away from his office. It could be someone he knows. Howie the president called the source gutless. And he has a point. Even if you buy into the selfrighteousview view that we are saving america from a crazy president. Didnt he undermine his own trump by infuriating the president. And undermining the move. Mollie he said the economy is doing well. National security is well. Foreign policy is doing well. It turns out donald trump acts like donald trump in meetings. It seems petty and small compared to the claims everything was going well. Why he would do this when nothing new was shared in this oped is bizarre. Howie i think by immediately attacking the times and the source the president added rocket fuel. When you were involved in the Obama Administration you were involved in hunting down someone with a rogue twitter account. There was someone who sent about 2,000 tweets hitting much everyone in town, not just democrats and obama, but republicans. It got under peoples skin. A Bipartisan Team got together and did a Osama Bin Laden investigation. And it turns out he was on the nse team. And he was fired. What happens when you find leaks like this. Howie when the president says this could be treason. He demands the times turn over the source. Whats he talking about . There is no classified information. Its an oped attack on the president. Is it political betrayal, yes, a firing offense, yes . But where is the National Securiti threat. Sara this is the rhetoric donald trump uses when he wants to undermine the credibility of what the New York Times published. Mollie when you have a rogue and unaccountable person thwarting by his own claims the will of the American People. Thats a serious threat. The people have a say. They voted for this person and hes the person held accountable. Phillipe a year and a half ago someone was leak the transcripts of his phone calls. Howie the medias guessing who it was, i wont repeat all the names. Let me turn to the bob woodward book. Many of the same themes about aides trying to restrain the president. The president is an idiot, hes a liar, hes off the rails operating at a 5th or 6th grade level. I can tell you from my firsthand knowledge that bob woodward is a meticulous reporter. While some Trump Officials are denying the comments, he says he has hundreds of hours of tapes and transcripts. Mollie i think it claims against bob woodward arent that he makes up quotes. But he talks to just a certain type of fern who is going to trash the principle. Howie let me read you a tweet from the president about this book talking about some of the senior officials around him. Their quotes were made up. A con on the public. Woodward is a damn operative . Notice timing . You can say a lot of the things about woodward. His techniques can be controversial and there are often denials about what he reports. But a dem operative . You cant dismiss that. Sara when woodward came to him, he said the administration took that seriously. They thought this was a credible report. Its fascinating to see the difference in this administration. Apparently when bob woodward tried to get donald trump to talk to him, Kellyanne Conway said i will put in a request. Howie he has a style that leaves room for people to deny. And hes accused of giving more sympathetic treatment to sources who cooperate. Does that undercut the book to some degree . Phillipe the scariest words in d. C. Are bob woodward called for you. If they might seem they are torqued up, they happened. He captured the essence of things. I dont think you can attack and assail the book the way the president has. The president has a knack to just shellack people and make stuff up. Mollie the critiques of bob woodward are he doesnt get and complete picture of how he treats people. They are not saying he made anything up, but with john berks lushi,. Howie we have some real factual disputes. Woodward on cbs said he wouldnt have used the anonymous oped writers charges without more detail. Later, Serena Williams getting hammered for her blowup at the hammered for her blowup at the u. S.

President trump who did you ask about speaking to me. About six people. President trump nobody told me by the. I would have spoken to you. I am open to you. You have always been fair. But i dont blame you entirely. Howie do you believe President Trump didnt nope bob woodward didnt know he was putting in the request. Mollie i dont mean to disrespect him, but i dont thinks always telling the truth in these phone calls. Howie there is a lot of stuff in my book, media madness about the staff trying to restrain or slow walk or end run him. Some of this happens in every administration. But what the media loves about this is they can say, aha. Mollie i talk to people who have fights with the president. They characterize it differently. They say they do have battles and they do fight. At the end of the day the president gets to say which direction it will be and they have to follow it. If you see it as nefarious proof donald trump is urn fit for the presidency or adults with debates. Howie Howard Bernstein says the Trump Presidency is a national emergency. But people who try to slow walk policies they dont like or challenge the boss. Fill there are thats a challenge that has to be faced every date. You are talking about someone who says something negative about a third person because they have an ax to grind. Howie do you think they love the infighting and happy to do it all in. Phillipe books are different animals. When a book is done right, when you spend a lot of time on a topic you are actually more likely to be more accurate. You are not doing the 24 7. Howie they know you are taking the time. Phillipe we have to accept the possibility that bob woodward is right. Howie here is something that has gotten less attention. According to the woodward book, the chief of staff said this. I am the only thing protecting the president from the press. The press is out to get him. Im determined to stand in the way taking the bullets and take the arrows. Sara this is a fiery thing for him to be saying. Its something we heard in the past. But john kelly is a reserved guy. So you know he has to mean it if hes going to say it. Howie whether the aides are doing the right thing or wrong thing. Its fair to say President Trump is in a position where he has to wonder who he can trust. All these leaks are going on since the day he was sworn in. Mollie the lack of people on his team within the administration. This was a silly move by the anonymous author and the media. The narrative about being unstable just confirmed how much d. C. Is a swamp and how much they oppose what the people chose in the last election and how unable they are to deal with the reality of what the people chose. Howie but according to woodward it includes the chief of staff and the defense secretary, so its not just trolls. Is it a good thing we have that even though the contents are in dispute. Phillipe it will depend on who it is. The woodward book is good. If donald trump woke up last wednesday morning feeling comfortable with people around him, that doesnt make a lot of sense. His lawyer was taping conversations. His closest aides are turning on him legally. And not to mention omarosa. Sara what bob woodward is writing, we have been hearing from people within the Trump Administration and people outside it. The overall narrative, we have heard it. Phillipe woodward might have gotten it right. Howie ahead, Mike Huckabee on an intense week of media criticism of the president , anonymous and otherwise. The serena policy. The press says a sexist power play ruined the u. S. Open. You owe me Serena Williams says ramos stole the game from her. In slapping her of three penalties not only robbed her of her chance of coming back. He took the match away from both womens and left her in tears. Serena said it was sexist. Because im a woman, you are going to take it away from me . Howie serenas meltdown was painful to watch. But the commentators whacking her should take a look at oh so sensitive umpire who allowed the situation to keep escalating. Susan he let it get out of control. He could have taken the insults the way has from other male players. Same refs. This was a different standard. Sally jenkins said the issue for her is she felt the umpire was not going to let a woman talk to him that way. Did he feel i am not going to let a woman wave a finger at me for a serious penalty i wouldnt have given to a male player. Howie . She said he abused his authority over a tone of voice. Male players have sworn and yelled at the top of their lungs and were never penalized the way serena was. Susan she played a role in this. She smashed her racket. She waved a finger at the umpire. She appeared threatening. She has a habit of throwing tantrums and threatening line people in the past. Howie a tweet from billy jean king. When a woman is emotional she is hysterical. But when a man is emotional hes outspoken. Susan thats not true. He was ejected from games. Howie the coach gave a signal from the stands that its illegal. Serena said she didnt see it. Breaking the racket, he could have let that go. When shed called him a when she called him a thief, she didnt curse, but thats when he called it a game and he made it more about him than the players on the court. Susan the whole ending was so emotional. It was just a disappointment for everybody. So everybody can point fingers at the ref. But the players are responsible for their own behavior. Good sportsmanship on the court. Talk about the problem after you get off the court. Thats something every player grams with. Howie this was unfair to naomi osaka. She was in tears. He ruined her moment, and he ruined serenas attempted comeback. Last year she almost died from complications in childbirth. So do we agree on that point . Sara susan we agree on that point. A player was penalized for changing her shirt, and serena told she couldnt wear certain outfits. A lot of people, not just Chris Everett and billy jean, her contemporaries are saying this needs to be looked at how men and women are treated different by the umpires. Howie this treatment has people up in arms, including the press. Ahead, the new yorker wanted to put steve bannon on the stage until some big hollywood types threatened to boycott event. Howie President Trump and the press unleashing some of their harshest language against each other. Mike huckabee, a former arkansas governor and president ial candidate and fox news contributor. The media furor over the New York Times anonymous oped, why shouldnt the times have published this . Mike i think they shouldnt have because to do so gives some type of credibility to a person who doesnt have the guts to stand up and say here i am. If you run for office, you put your name on the ballot. If you are going to undermine the people who have the guts to run for office. Tell us who you are so we can evaluate and hold you accountable for your views. This guy is, i think, a gutless coward, guy or girl. He could be a fourthtier person in montana federal office. Howie the president says that Jeff Sessions at the Justice Department should investigate this secret source. On what ground . Whats the criminal offense . Political betrayal . Certainly a criminal offense. Criminal investigation . Mike it depend. Is this person also telling things he or she knows of National Security . We dont know. Howie thats not what was published. Mike what the president is saying its serious. It is serious for someone gets a paycheck from the president Trump Administration to betray the trust of that. Give up our paycheck and go out on the streets. Howie that account and the bob woodward book have painted a portrait of top aide, some say they believe in the president , but are working against what they see as some of his worst impulses. Shouldnt we look that there should be some truth to these accounts . Mike donald trump can be vulgar, donald trump can be vain. What a shock, we knew that during the campaign. He wasnt elected to be the nicest guy in washington, d. C. He was elected to drain the swamp and change the economy. Hes like a doctor that comes into the room. Hes rude to the family perhaps. Hes not got the best bedside manner, but by golly hes going to save the patients life. Would you rather have him or a guy who is the nicest guy in the world but his patient die. Howie you are not an enemy of the American People guy and your daughter Sarah Sanders isnt a woman who is the enemy of the people. Mike from his perspective when 90 of all the coverage about him is negative, how else should he feel . I cant blame him. Howie he can feel its unfair. That he doesnt get a fair shake. I want to make sure i get to President Trump. He came out and gave a speech harshly critical of his successor and had this to say about fox. I complained plenty about fox news. But i never threatened to shut them down or called them enemies of the
