Back to episode — Episode 78 - Scott and Dale Talk About CNN’s Worst Day Ever

But here's what I think is the big big picture maybe and maybe a turning point. I'm probably getting over my skis a little bit here because I tend to skew optimistic. So I'm gonna give you a piece of optimism that you know is not quite as certain. But it seems to me that when we had this situation where the president called MS-13 animals and the entire world watched as that was first taken out of…
← Previous segment →Now the reason I jumped on this Periscope is I was watching Jake Tapper's show on CNN just a moment ago and they were talking about this so-called Gang of Eight meeting in which the Democrats and the Republicans, mostly Republicans in this case, were going to be put in a room and they were going to look at some top-secret information and they were going to get to the next level about what's happening with Russia and spies and you name it. I don't even know what they expect to see in those secret documents.
But I just saw your comment about Hawk Newsom. I'm gonna have him on the show again on the Periscope again and we'll talk about that.
So the criticism on CNN is that the Trump administration invited their lawyer, I forget his name but it's the lawyer that is working on the Russian collusion stuff, and you're not allowed to have a lawyer in the top-secret meeting. And normally you would not invite a lawyer. It's very unusual.

It was planned that he would make some statements, kind of frame things, and then leave, which is what he did. So yeah it was Emmet Flood. And yet I watched minute after minute of criticism about the fact that something unusual had happened which is the lawyer had been invited even though nobody mentioned any reason why that's an actual problem.
That was the best they had today, was that a lawyer sat in a room.
Let me put this in context. The biggest criticism of the president today is that the president's lawyer sat in a room that was the same room that later on when he wasn't there they would talk about confidential stuff. That's it.
Somebody just said keep supporting Israel Scott. I don't even know if that's sarcasm.

So the interesting thing, oh yeah and you also saw that Elon Musk is doing a little startup, we think he's serious, called Pravda which is funny. There would be sort of a Yelp for checking the credibility of journalists and news organizations. Now apparently he's been such a victim of fake news in his opinion that he's sort of moving closer to the Trump supporting side of the world. Because here'…
