i know why you're asking the question. i respect that. but it's really important to me to make sure that we don't compound the mistakes that are found in this report by deviating from our process. so i think it's very important that we respect the appropriate process, that it be done right, as i said earlier, by the book. once that process is complete, we will not hesitate to hold people accountable. [indiscernible] mr. wray: the lessons are, number one, the importance of trying to make sure that we avoid even the appearance of bias in all of our work. that objectivity and the appearance of objectivity matters. there's lessons in there about contacts with the media and appropriate engagement with all of you. there's lessons in there about appropriate uses of devices. there are a number of things. the i.g. has nine recommendations at the end and i think those are the lessons that we're trying to learn from this report. we take it very seriously and we accept the findings and the recommendations. thank you.

i respect all human beings. i even have to respect, you know, criminals. but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star. >> look at his three wives. the president's personal attorney seemed to have stepped it in again when he said he didn't respect stormy daniels. he took it a stepped further when he suggested that first lady melania trump said she believed her husband's claims. that prompted the first lady's spokesperson to say "i don't believe mrs. trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with mr. juliangiulian" what does is say about the place rudy giuliani plays in the life of president trump? >> i think it show what is bad judgment the president has. that he has hired rudy giuliani is doing him no good. the face that he made when he said stormy daniels name is so revolting to me that i cannot even begin to tell you how demeaning it is to women. i respect stormy daniels far more than i do criminals for sure and many of the people who would say he respects. i do not have any trust in his judgment. i don't respect him, i don't respect what he's sayi

i know why you're asking the question and i respect that but it will important to me to make sure that we don't compound mistakes that are found in this report by deviating from our process which i think is very important that we respect the appropriate process and to be done right as a said earlier by the book and once that process is complete, we will not hesitate to hold people accountable.

i respect all human beings, i even have to respect criminals. but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. so, stormy, you want to bring a case let me cross-examine you. >> so we see giuliani trying to chip away, trying to attack stormy daniels and in a way trying to diminish the legal claims that she and her attorney are making. that's important because rudy giuliani's job is not to deal with that matter. it's all about the mueller case so for him to be wading into that is really tactical to try to bat that away. we saw the president today, of course, going at the mueller investigation using a new configuration i first noticed over the weekend, hallie, in his tweeting where he's combining a couple of his favorite, witch-hunt and hoax into witch-hunt hoax and he's attacking the lawyers of these special counsel's team calling them the 13 angry democrats. a differen

i respect all human beings, i even respect criminals, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a woman of substance. a woman what has respect herself as a woman and a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. stormy, you want to bring your case, let me cross-examine you. >> let's do that. let's do that. you misogynistic fool. are you kidding me? just look at stormy daniels? just look at yourself. are you kidding me? at this, in this moment where we are in history with women, you are going to tell us to just look at her? are you out of your mind? you know what, that's your only excuse. and i feel really sorry for you. that is the most -- he was incredibly degrading. on top of the fact that you are hurting the president's case on so many levels, so good on you, keep going, rudy. i'm sick about what i just saw. >> this is how trump talks about women, also. during the campaign when he was accused of various allegations, he, trump would come back and say at rallies, she's not attractive enough. >> he laughs derisively. let me tell you something. stormy daniels c

so, yes, i respect all human beings. i even have to respect, you know, criminals. but i'm sorry. i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. so stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross examine you. >> a lot of audience reaction in that room. earlier today a spokesperson for the first lady told nbc news, quote, i don't believe mrs. trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with mr. giuliani. proof that sometimes the shade from the east wing can cast a shadow clear over on the west wing. and stormy daniels' attorney, michael avenatti, spoke to our colleague, nicolle wallace, this afternoon, offering his own review of mr. giuliani's remarks. >> this is an absolute disgusting disgrace, and i have to tell you i'm angry. my client's angry. and every woman in america, whether you're on the right, the left, or in the center should be angry. >> the former new york city mayor is standing by his comments on d

but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. so stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross-examine you. >> the first lady's spokeswoman said pointedly in a statement, "i don't believe mrs. trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with mr. giuliani." to discuss the battle between stormy daniels and the white house attorney lisa green and elie mystal. what is he doing? >> whatever it is it's not that classy. let me offer a classier alternative the next time rudy is asked about his client's wife's feelings. than a long diatribe about classy women, pretty women, porn star reputations. how about i don't know? you'll have to ask her or wait, that's my mobile ringing.i've got to get that call. >> the thing about this, first of all, he's having the time of his life clearly he's enjoying this. >> there is the greatest thing that's happened to rudy giuliani just coming off his third divorce just as a

yes, i respect all human beings. i even have to republican, you know criminals. i'm sorry i don't respect a porn star the way i represent a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a women or as a person that isn't going to sell her body for actual exploitation. >> what do you think? where is he going with this k r kirsten? >> there's no other way to take this other than a massagist rant. to tie someone's integrity to them being an adult film actress there's no there there. if you want to say she doesn't have integrity for some other reason there's something that you know about her then bring it up. you can't just say this person does something that i don't approve of so therefore she doesn't have integrity. that's not the way that it works. you should have respect for people just on basic human level. i think we should just republican her regardless of what she does for a living and let the facts lead us to our decision about whether or not what he's say g is true owner. >> he said in that answer guys, three wives righ

. >> i respect human beings, i have to respect criminals. but i don't respect a porn star as i respect a woman who has substance and has respect for herself and as a person and isn't going to sell her body for exploitation. kennedy: giuliani disrespecting her. that's not a defense it complicates a messy legal matter. rudy's heart is in the right place but his foot is lodged in his mouth and his head up his rear. if he wants to help the mueller case and the stormy daniels days and north korea, he needs to button up his lips. and that's the memo. rudy has become the face of the president's defense team. he's also credited with the more aggressive approach to the mueller investigation. and a lot of the president's supporters like that. but with all the side shows he's creating has he become a liability? you know i have invited the party panel back into my welcoming bosom. bre peyton, lawrence jones and matt welch. let's talk about this a little bit more. a lot of the president's supporters agree with giuliani's intention and they see the presid

and i respect him. much of what he just said was focused on china. i've never heard of a trade policy where you have a country like china who is in fact dumping steel around the world because it's in their interest. i've never heard of a trade policy where you punish your friends in order to get at someone who is doing something to you. so we're punishing canada and mexico. we're fortunate to live in the neighborhood that we live in, to have neighbors like we have. we're punishing our european allies who have been with us for centuries in order to get at china. it makes no sense. as a matter of fact, i haven't heard a person who has gone to the white house to talk about what they are putting in place, trade policy, come back over here and be able to articulate anything coherent about that policy. i haven't heard a single soul be able to explain to me why we would punish our allies in europe, our neighbors next door, in order to get at china. 232 has nothing to do with china. that's absolutely not true. it has nothing to do with china. china's being p

. >> i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance. howie: i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." james wolfe, a former top staffer on the senate intel committee. the "new york times" reporter work for "buzzfeed" broke this story about carter page. a former trump advisor met with a russian spy. watkins and wolfe exchanged over 100 text messages that day. >> why did carter page confirm this to you and what was his affect towards this information becoming public? >> he was very forthcoming with it. i had been doing a lot of reporting on it and knew it was him in the document. president trump: i'm a big believer in freedom of the press, but i'm also a believer in classified information. it has to remain classified. and that includes comey and his band of thieves who leaked classified information all over the place. howie: joining us, mollie hemingway, susan ferrechio, chief congressional correspondent for the washington examiner. and juan williams, co-host of "the five." will the media uproar over the surveillance of a reporter doing h

i even have to respect criminals, but, i'm sorry, i don't respe a porn star the way i respect a career woman, a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman, and as a person, and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. >> now, we've decided in our legal system sometime ago that we do not -- the scales of justice are blind to what your chosen profession is, and what your history was. how does this sit with you? >> well, i mean, as a, quote, career woman, which i guess i would fall in that category, his comments are offensive. i think any person, not just women should be offended by them, and i am. i think rudy giuliani, i mean, it's hard to take seriously anything he says anymore. and i'm not saying we should just completely ignore it because i understand that if you don't respond it just sits there. >> and he's the president's lawyer at the moment. >> right. but he is once again -- this is just part of his distract, smear campaign, whether it be of mueller, of a witness who clearly, stormy daniels, it's a small piece of the case, but it's an

let's watch. >> i respect all human beings. i even have to respect criminals. but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. so stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross-examine you. i don't think there's a slight suspicion that it's true when you look at stormy daniels. i know donald trump, and look at his three wives. right? beautiful women, classy women. women of great substance. stormy daniels? >> well, since he was hired in april, rudy giuliani has staged a bombastic pr campaign on behalf of the president trashing anyone who challenges him. daniels however has proven to be a formidable and enduring adversary. don't you think? and given the opportunity to withdraw his comments, giuliani declined. asked by nbc if he was trying to undermine daniels' credibility, he said i'm pointing out she has no credibility. the personal attack comes a day after miss daniels and her lawyer filed

. >> i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance. >> woman of substance. giuliani's comments drawing strong reaction this morning from humans. >> you misogynistic fool. are you kidding me? >> it's so disgusting. >> squaring off, president trump reportedly expressing concerns about attending the g-7 tomorrow as tariff tensions escalate. this as members of his own party propose legislation to tie his hands on any future trade wars. >> i don't think he's going to get us in a trade war. think he's way too smart to do that. >> two of scott pruitt's closest aides resign in the wake of yet another pruitt scandal. the embattled epa chief attempts to brush off accusations he used his office to get his wife a chick-fil-a franchise. >> we love -- chick-fil-a is a franchise of faith and it's one of the best in the country. so that's something we were very excited about. >> well, you can do it on your own time then, sir. we begin today with stormy daniels once again in the spotlight. on a day when she filed a stunning lawsuit calling her former a

yes, i respect all human beings. i even have to republican, you know criminals. i'm sorry i don't respect a porn star the way i represent a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a women or as a person that isn't going to sell her body for actual exploitation. >> what do you think? where is he going with this kirsten? >> there's no other way to take this other than a misogamist rant. to tie someone's integrity to them being an adult film actress there's no there there. if you want to say she doesn't have integrity for some other reason there's something that you know about her then bring it up. you can't just say this person does something that i don't approve of so therefore she doesn't have integrity. that's not the way that it works. you should have respect for people just on basic human level. i think we should just republican her regardless of what she does for a living and let the facts lead us to our decision about whether or not what he's say g is true owner. >> he said in that answer guys, three wives right?

i respect all human beings. i have to respect criminals. i'm sorry. i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a career woman or woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person that isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitat n exploitation. stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross examine you. >> when reached today by hallie jackson, rudy giuliani did not back down defending his remarks. to ruth, i have to ask you what you think rudy giuliani is trying to accomplish here. >> i think that's a good question and i ask myself that. he's trying to muddy the waters and trying to diminish the credibility of stormy daniels but people have adequate to make their decision about who is more credible and the allegation that stormy daniels that she had an fair with donald trump or donald trump and his denials. i don't know what he's doing except for getting a lot of women like me a little bit upset about the way he talks about women. >> senator warren was on morning joe reacting as well. >> it's every aspe

i even have to respect criminals but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star the way i respect a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. so stormy, you want to bring a case, let me cross examine you. >> so daniels lawyer responded to those comments on twitter writing this. mr. giuliani is a misogymist. >>> and melania trump made a public appearance yesterday after several weeks out of the spotlight. the first lady visited fema headquarters with her husband making her first public event since may the 10th, four days before she underwent a procedure for a benign kidney procedure. >> we have to start with our great first lady, melania. thank you, melania. she went through a little rough patch, but she's doing great and she's proud of her. she's done a fantastic job. the people of our country love you, so thank you, honey. >> and hours before trump hit back at the media attention surrounding his wife's prolonged public absence the president tweeted the public media has been so unfair and vicious to

we served together on a banking committee and i respect him. much of what he just said was focused on china. i've never heard of a trade policy where you have a country like china who is in fact something steel round the world because it's in their interest. i've never heard of a trade policy where you punish your friends in order to get, so we are punishing canada and mexico, were fortunate to live in the neighborhood that we live in to have neighbors like we have, we are punishing our european allies who have been with us for centuries in order to get china. it makes no sense.t, as a matter of fact i haven't heard a person has gone to the white house to talk about what they're putting in place to come back over here and be able to articulate anything coherent about thatbo policy. i haven't heard a single soul explained to me why we would punish our allies in europe, our neighbors next door in order to get at china. 232 has nothing to do with china. that's absolutely not true. it has nothing to do with china. china is being punished by 201 and

i respect that. that is not refugee, not somebody fleeing from the civil war. that separation is needed. asylum seekers, refugees from civil war and illegal migrants. for illegal migrants, there is only one way possible, to go back home to your people of origin. >> for people like yourself and for jeffrey of the united states, we can see that the polls show that president trump's popularity remains pretty much even. it's not dented or changed much due to this crisis. so, i want to ask you first and then manfred weber about the politics of these policies. jeffrey, what's at stake for president trump even though he's made a u-turn on this issue? >> i have to say i'm not sure we know fully what the politics are of this particular chapter. people in the news media have been predicting the fall of donald trump since the beginning of his presidential campaign and we've always been wrong. it is also true that this is a somewhat different situation than many of his other controversies, because there are photographs, there is video of children. if you look at polls abou

i respect the chairman of the rules committee but i respectfully disagree. he's presided over a rules committee that has the most closed rules in the history of the united states. competing ideas, opposing views were not allowed to be considered in either of the two bills the republicans are going to put before the congress. one was dispensed with already. i oppose the rule and i oppose the underlying legislation. we're facing multiple immigration crises of the president's own making. and we must not be fooled by plans designed to cover that up. this is not the fix we need for migrant families separated at border. president trump's inhumane and morally repugnant policy, to forcibly separate children from their parents as they seek refuge in america, is beyond the pale. we cannot rely on the president's sudden change of heart. we must for bid this barbaric -- forbid this barbaric policy by passing the keep families together act, not this bill. and this is not the fix we need for dreamers, despite what mr. sessions, my good friend from texas, just said. there

great substance and srmy i think -- >> you have respect on this stage, every women. >> yes, i respect porn stars. dow respect porn stars? do you think they don't respect women? and sell the bodies. i respect all human beings and or a one of substance and has great respect for herself and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. you want to bring a case, let me cross-examin b are in entitles you to no degree of giving you credibility any weight. secondly, explain to me how she can damaged. s no reputation. if you are going to sell your body for money, you don't have a reputation. >> those comments making all kinds of waves. diana bash hopping on the phone to talk to him. you had to explain that his comments were a thing over here and how did he respond to you? >> he seemed surprised that it became a thing as you put it. and what i was saying to him was, the reason it is a thing is because the comments that he made that you just playere in the eyes of many people antiquated. that it used to be that it was maybe understood in a broadsens sold her body and usually, that's use

i respect human beings. is, even respect criminals. but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn story the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance. >> tucker: that was rudy giuliani saying what's been obvious to every living person for a couple of thousand years, that someone who is more deserving of respect if they don't have sex with strangers on camera for money. we now live in a liberal car novel version of america, a version in which pornography is it dignified and empowering to women. ms-13 gang members are great people. today, the process scrambled to praise the stormy daniels' illustrious career. >> you just heard rudy giuliani's reaction, which is a porn i stars are the people, to. speak we've always have women who worked and worked on the streets. a lot of them have put their kids through college. >> she is probably one of the most successful porn stars in the recent history. a o lot of people -- you can freshen her career choices but i think she's made a successful career. >> she's a mother and she's a woman with a voi

i respect all human beings, i even have to respect criminals. i'm sorry i don't respect a star at the way i respect a career woman or a woman of substance. >> tucker: that was rudy giuliani who's been saying what's been obvious for every living person for a couple thousand years, someone is more deserving of respect if they don't have sex with strangers on camera for money. but they version in which pornography isn't degrading, it's dignifying and empowering women, like haiti is a beautiful country with burgeoning sanitation and ms-13 has great people. >> you heard rudy giuliani's reaction which in essence is porn stars aren't people too. >> a lot of them have put their kids to college. >> she is one of the most successful porn stars in recent history. you can question her career choices but i think she's made a successful career for herself. >> she's a mother and she's a woman with a voice. she's going to use it. >> tucker: these people are beyond parody. i'm not mad at stormy daniels or anything but i notice i can't help but notice the impulse

i know why you're asking the question and i respect that. but it's really important to me to make sure that we don't compound the mistakes that are found in this report by deviating from our process. so i think it's very important that we respect the appropriate process, that it be done right, as i said earlier, by the book. once that process is complete, we will not hesitate to hold people accountable. reporter: [indiscernible] mr. wray: the lessons are, number one, the importance of trying to make sure that we avoid even the appearance of bias in all of our work. that objectivity and the appearance of objectivity matters. there's lessons in there about contacts with the media and appropriate engagement with all of you. there's lessons in there about the appropriate uses of devices. there are a number of things. the i.g. has nine recommendations at the end and i think those are the lessons that we're trying to learn from this report. we take it very seriously and we accept the findings and the recommendations. thank you. >> here is what is

i am a servant of the institutions and respect the norms, that would be i stand next to the attorney general, but given the circumstances and her compromise, if i care about the institution i cannot do it the normal way. there is nothing normal about this and as a servant i had to do something i knew would be bad for me personally, but to step away from the attorney general and speak as we speak together, but separately. you didn'tjust choose to break the rules, you also explicitly blamed mrs clinton for what you called extremely careless behaviours in a way that, again was unprecedented, because here you are declaring no charges were to be brought and normally, under due process in the american system, if no charges were to be brought you wouldn't go on to detail her misbehaviours — and again, the inspector general says "this violated long—standing department practice and protocol." only in this respect, though. you are right that in the normal case on the close an investigation, we say nothing. for many years, in cases of extended public interest, the department ofjustice has l

. >> i respect all human beings. i actually even respect krin criminals. but i'm sorry, i don't respect a porn star as a career woman or woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and a person and isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. >> what do you make of it? >> i'd like to see the rudy giuliani i worked with when i was working in his administration in new york city when he was mayor. i'm very proud to have worked in that administration. this is a different type of rudy giuliani. i can't explain it. i think that he thinks in some ways we're still in campaign mode. maybe that's what the president wants from him. >> campaign mode, what? >> i find it completely unacceptable what he said. there is no doubt about it. you showed that picture of president trump -- or person trump, who would be candidate once we had the photo. he was just private citizen trump. with stormy daniels. so obviously he was pretty happy to be there. i don't think there is anyone who would question actually if he had the affair with storm

the we served together on the banking committee, and i respect him. much of what he just said was focused on china. i've never heard of a trade policy where you have a country like china who is, in fact, dumping steel around the world because it's in their interest. i've never heard after trade policy where you punish your friends in order to get at someone who's doing something to you. so we're punishing canada and mexico, we're fortunate to live in the neighborhood that we live in to have neighbors like we have. we're punishing our european allies who have been with us for centuries in order to get it -- to get at china. it makes no sense. as a matter of fact, i haven't heard a person who's gone to the white house to talk about what they are putting in place, trade policy, back -- come back over here and be able to articulate anything coherent about that policy. i haven't heard a single soul be able to explain to me why we would punish our allies in europe, our neighbors next door in order to get at china. 232 has nothing to do with china. that's ab

so i am unemployed now, and i respect that program, and i will just leave it at that. i think this summit is awesome. he's going to stop the nuclear war. north korea is a small, little country. they cannot do anything. you know what i mean? the: have you followed results in the g-7 summit? the president is getting criticism for not signing the communique and criticizing the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau. caller: that is very interesting, too. i, unfortunately, i'm not as knowledgeable about all of that. i was playing golf with a bunch of guys yesterday our canadians, and they heard about it -- that are canadians, and they said that was great, what he said. i cannot give you a good, educated response to that. i was with two canadians that supported what president trump said. host: ok. tom, thanks for sharing your perspective. we do know that there will be a news conference. the president said it would happen around 2:30. the schedule has it at 4:00. all of this is fluid. the president is expected to head to air force one for the journey bao the u.s., and then

i know why you're asking the question. i respect that. but it's really important to me to make sure that we don't compound the mistakes that are found in this report by deviating from our process. so i think it's very important that we respect the appropriate process, that it be done right, as i said earlier, by the book. once that process is complete, we will not hesitate to hold eople accountable. reporter: [inaudible] mr. wray: the lessons are, number one, the importance of trying to make sure that we avoid even the appearance of bias in all of our work. that objecttivity and the appearance of object ivity matters. there's lessons in there about contacts with the media and appropriate engagement with all of you. there's lessons in there about appropriate uses of devices. there are a number of things. the o.g. has nine recommendations at the end and i think those are the lessons that we're trying to learn from this report. we take it very seriously and we accept the findings and the recommendations. thank you.
