  Speaker 1: certain flow, certain configuration, certain height on the countertop. How
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about certain storage areas? They've got you covered. A bathroom
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that can work for the growing family or the aging family.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: They've got you covered. A basement that can be the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: place for the kids. Or the adults. Or the office.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Or the workout room. Or the I don't know what.
• 0:49

• 1:29
  Speaker 1: popcorn moment. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's a story you need to hear to believe. Then
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: grab your popcorn because there is more. Now, there's plenty
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: one can hit President Trump for and go right ahead.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Not here to stop anybody. Knock yourselves out. Then there's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: plenty of ridiculous nonsense pablum that Trump gets hit for
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that needs to be called the ignorance that it is.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And you can't engage a conversation about ignorant talk without
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: talking about Cory Booker, the senator from New Jersey, who
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: has had all the opportunity to show us that he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is a mind. He just can't do it. When you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: sound like Chris Murphy, you can't actually be thought of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: As a great mental warrior. In this, he's taking a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: new tact. As President Xi Jinping is in town, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: President Trump is holding the White House dinners and everything else,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: here is Cory Booker on MSNOW with Chris Hayes, who
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: amazingly still has a job and crazily makes more money
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: than I do, discussing what Trump wants of our media.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they say that themselves, in fact.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: No one even, I think, contests that general premise. We have,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you may or may not have heard at the top
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of the program, my colleague Laura Barron-Lopez was denied access
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to an event today just a few hours ago with
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife and Melania Trump,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the president. Chinese state media were allowed in. This is
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: after the judge ordering the White House to allow us
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and Politico and CNN back in. You know, what do
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you think about the spectacle today of like having the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Chinese government there with the retinue of state media while
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you're sort of dragged kicking and screaming to allow access
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to the American press?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's with a Chinese dictator he wants to be
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: more like. It's Chinese state media, not their free media,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: because they don't have it in China. In Russia, they
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: don't have free press. Turkey is putting people in jail
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: for what they call fake news. This is what dictators do.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: This is what authoritarian leaders do. That's who he wants
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to be like.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Now, that's Cory Booker being the lowest common denominator. As
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is reported... Donald Trump has spent 21,058 minutes, which is
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: approximately 351 hours, speaking to the press since the start
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of his second term. 759 press-facing events, remarks, gaggles, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: press conferences, answering direct questions from reporters at 474 of them,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: more than half, accounting for 12,178 minutes, or about 203
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hours of Q & A time. When we take a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: look at Joe Biden's term, press conferences, 37. Fewest since
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. Informal Q & A session, 679. Public events
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: with official remarks, 345. His average Q & A session
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was roughly 22 minutes. And the way he answered questions,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it was probably four questions. And those questions were probably
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: written for him by his own staff and then planted
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with the like-minded media. And this is where Cory Booker fails.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: No one who is trying to be a dictator gives
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the press that much access. It was the Biden administration
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that was writing questions. We already know this. You knew
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: who he was going to call on. And the issue
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: here is that if you want to talk about state media,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Senator Booker, that's MSNOW. That is what CNN and MSNOW
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: did when they never reported on Joe Biden's condition. That
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was state run media at that moment because they didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: engage the news at all. This is not an argument.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: This is ignorance. And you should be told the biggest
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: problem we have. is that no one is going to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: walk up to Cory Booker and say, that's the dumbest
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: damn thing I ever heard. God, you're dumb, and walk away.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And it should be senators. It's a lie. And you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: know it's a lie, Senator Booker. No one's getting thrown
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in jail. This isn't China. Trump kept out the MSNOW
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: people from the state dinner. Well, he was ordered by
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a judge to bring them back into the White House.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: No one said you had to be at a state dinner.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And look at you right there on that network reporting.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Reporting and access are two very, very different things. The
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: president's argument is you're a trash outfit that is state-run media,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but state-run for the Democratic Party, and everybody knows it,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and he just doesn't want to be around that stuff anymore.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I cleaned that up, by the way. I cleaned that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: up pretty good. You're welcome, everybody. Keeping the radio license
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: one more day. Is he right? Well, he's right about
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the left state-run media. Was he right to tell these
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: people they can't be in the White House? Politically, no. No, no, no, no. Mistake.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You can't attend the dinner? It's his dinner. You have
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: no right to attend the dinner. None.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: None.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: We saw the coverage of it. Let me ask, were
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you going to cover his speech? The speech that he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: gave at the dinner, he gets welcomed in with President
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Xi Jinping and there's Xi's wife and there's Melania Trump.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And he gets everybody seated. He goes back to the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to the podium and hail to the chief ends. And
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he starts speaking. Were you going to cover that? So
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what did you need access for if you were not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: going to cover that and share that with us? So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you could be in the room so you could have
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one more way of finding a vision to a methodology,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I should say, to attack. Nobody needed you. I think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: your biggest problem is by not being in the room,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it only proves how unnecessary you are. Nothing changes about
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: your reporting, which is the whole point. You're going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: report any way you want, and the president isn't stopping you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: No one's stopping you. MS Now, you can continue to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: be the biggest low-life scumbags that are out there. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: can't stop you. I wish you would stop, but I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: can't stop you. So the president has more time with
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the press than anyone else. The president has thousands, thousands
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of minutes, 351 hours speaking to the press. The press
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is still able to report on him and call him
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a dictator. And somehow Trump is limiting the press. Just
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the actions I've shared, the observation of their actions proves
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the lie. Cory Booker doesn't care if he lies. Cory
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Booker had all the chance, the Democrat from New Jersey,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all the chance to be a beacon in the Senate.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: All the chance to really be Spartacus. And he blew it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He's nothing more than Chris Murphy from a southern state. Yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: compared to Connecticut, New Jersey's a southern state. That's all
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he is. They lie right to your face and they
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: believe they are pious in doing so. And Chris Hayes
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: still makes more money than me. My gosh, that has
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to get rectified.
