>> Harris: I NEVER THOUGHT I’D
REACH A POINT IN MY CAREER WHEN
THESE WORDS WOULD COME: I’M
GOING TO HELP DON LEMON’S
MEMORY.
IT APPEARS DON LEMON HAS A FUNNY
WAY OF REMEMBERING THINGS AND
THAT CNN ANCHOR WAS ASKING ABOUT
THE NETWORK TAKING UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP AND DOWN PLAYED THE
LEADERSHIP AND DOWN PLAYED THE
PAST POLITICAL LEANINGS.
>> WE WEREN’T LIBERAL AND HAVE
TO HOLD PEOPLE TO ACCOUNT AND
THAT DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN
WE’RE GOING LIBERAL OR
CONSERVATIVE OR WHATEVER.
IT MEANS WE ARE DOING WHAT WE
DO, AND THAT’S GOOD JOURNALISM.
>> Harris: LET’S ROLL THE
VIDEO TAPE.
>> IF YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP, YOU
VOTED FOR THE PERSON WHO THE
CLAN SUPPORTED.
YOU VOTED FOR THE PERSON WHO
NATZI’S SUPPORT.
THERE’S NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE
REPUBLICANS WILL START PLAYING
FAIRLY AND ARE GOING TO START
OPERATING AS A PARTY OF SANITY.
>> WHAT IS IT ABOUT PRESIDENT
OBAMA THAT REALLY GETS UNDER
YOUR SKIN?
IS IT BECAUSE HE’S SMARTER THAN
YOU?
BETTER EDUCATEED?
MADE IT ON HIS OWN?
>> RUDE DEMO THAT BACKS DONALD
TRUMP THAT WANTS TO THINK THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS A SMART ONE AND
Y’ALL ELITISTS ARE YUCK.
YOU ELITISTS WITH GEOGRAPHIES
AND MAPS AND SPELLING, MATH AND
READING.
>> YOUR READING.
>> Emily: YEAH, THAT’S THE
ELITIST MEDIA AT ITS FINIST AND
ELITIST -- FINEST AND ELITIST
LIBERAL MACHINE AND AMERICANS
FEEL LESSER THAN AND MADE TO
FEEL LESSER THAN AND ABSOLUTELY
DESPISE THAT LEFT LEANING
MAINSTREAM MEDIA THAT NOT ONLY
CATEGORICALLY FEELS THEY’RE
BETTER THAN THEY ARE BUT DENIES
IT.
I’M SURPRISED DON LEMON WITH ALL
OF HIS BETTER EDUCATION THAN THE
REST OF US DIDN’T HAVE A BETTER
ANSWER IN THAT MOMENT BECAUSE
THAT CERTAINLY WAS CHALKED FULL
OF LIES AND IT WAS ALSO PRETTY
WEAK.
>> Harris: I MEAN, I
SOMETIMES, CARLEY, WHAT PEOPLE
ARE COUNTING ON IS OTHERS AREN’T
PAYING ATTENTION OR HAVE REELS
OF RECEIPTS.
>> Carley: THE REEL WAS
HILARIOUS AND WALK DOWN MEMORY
LANE THERE.
I WAS READING THAT GASLIGHTING
IS MERRIAM-WEBSTER’S WORD OF THE
YEAR.
>> Harris: IS THAT TRUE IN
HILARIOUS.
>> Carley: YEAH, FOX NEWS IS
THE PREFERRED NEWS FOR EVERYONE
AND CNN IS LIBERAL AND CON AND D
IS TRYING TO CONVINCE STEVEN
COLBERT THAT THE NETWORK ISN’T
LIBERAL BUT IT IS.
CNN WANTS SENSIBLE REPUBLICANS
TO COME ON AND WE’LL HOLD THOSE
REPUBLICANS TO ACCOUNT.
NOT PEOPLE.
ALSO CNN BY THE WAY, THE NETWORK
WITH THE FIERY BUT MOSTLY
PEACEFUL PROTEST BANNER. >> Harris: WHY WAS HE LAUGHING
>> Harris: WHY WAS HE LAUGHING
SO HARD HE WAS CRYING?
[ LAUGHTER ].
>> Kennedy: SORRY, I WAS
REMEMBERING DON LEMON’S
INTERVIEW WITH STEVEN COLBERT.
THEY’RE BOTH SUCH HACKS AND I’M
SURE DON LEMON IS A LOVELY GUY
BUT IT’S A WEAK ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION.
IT’S LIKE, YEAH, OWN UP TO IT
AND SAY, YEAH, WE GOT CALLS
WRONG.
WE HAD SOME BOBBLES BUT NOW WE
HAVE RIGHTED THE SHIP, WE HAVE A
GREAT CAPTAIN AND, YOU KNOW, WE
ARE GOING TO LAUNCH INTO THE
STRATOSPHERE BRINGING EVERYONE
WITH US.
NO, THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THEY THINK THEY’RE BETTER THAN
YOU, THINK THEY’RE SMARTER THAN
YOU.
THEY THINK THEY CAN SPOON FEED
YOU INFORMATION AND YOU’LL
CONSUME IT BECAUSE YOU’RE DUMB
AND YOU ARE LESSER THAN.
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WATCH FOX
BECAUSE WE WANT TO PARTY WITH
YOU AND CURIOUS ABOUT HOW YOU
FEEL.
NOT EVERYONE HERE IS IN LOCK
STEP.
YOU KNOW, WE DO CHALLENGE EACH
OTHER, BUT WE ALSO KNOW HOW TO
HAVE A GOOD TIME AND WE RESPECT
OUR AUDIENCE.
>> Harris: ALL RIGHT, THERE’S
THIS PART.
I’M GOING TO COME TO YOU ON
THIS.
CNN CALMED THE HUNTER LAPTOP
STORY RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION NOT
ONCE OR TWICE.
WE HAVE ANOTHER REEL OF RECEIPTS
FOR YOU.
>> THE U.S. AUTHORITIES ARE
SEEING IF THOSE E-MAILS WE JUST
TALKED ABOUT ARE CONNECTED TO AN
ONGOING RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
EFFORT.
>> ONGOING RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION EFFORT.
>> ONGOING RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION EFFORT.
>> ALL THE SUDDEN TWO AND A HALF
WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION, THIS
LAPTOP APPEARS SOMEHOW.
>> Jason: WHAT I DIDN’T HEAR
WAS THE APOLOGY OR THE
CLARIFICATION OR THE --
>> Harris: YOU’RE NOT GOING TO
GET THAT.
>> Jason: THAT’S THE DEGREE OF
CREDIBILITY AND WE’VE ALL MADE
MISTAKES AND I HAD TO GO ON HAIR
AND SAY I MADE A MISTAKE.
TO KENNEDY’S POINT, YOU’D THINK
SOMEBODY WOULD FIGURE OUT PART
OF THE SUCCESS OF FOX NEWS, THE
REASON THERE ARE LITERALLY
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE WATCHING
FOX THAN THESE OTHER NET NETWORK
THERE’S A BALANCE AND THEY GET
INVITED AND THERE’S RESPECT AND
WE HAVE A DISCUSSION AND THERE’S
RESPECT FOR THE OTHER SIDE.
I DON’T KNOW, IT IS JUST --
>> Harris: WE’RE ALSO NOT
AFRAID OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS
THAT CAN GET STICKY.
I’VE HAD SOME WITH SENATORS,
CONGRESS PEOPLE, A LOT OF PEOPLE
ON THE CHANNEL BUT YOU WANT TO
HEAR FROM THOSE SIDES.
HA CHEMOJEFFREYS WHO YOU KNOW
WELL WHO CALLED THE FORMER
PRESIDENT A MEMBER OF THE KKK,
THE GRAND WIZARD.
THERE’S A LOT OF GROUND TO GO
BACK AND FORTH WITH PEOPLE AND
IN THE CONVERSATION SENATOR MANSION CALLED ME A LIAR ABOUT
MANSION CALLED ME A LIAR ABOUT
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.
THAT’S OKAY, WE TALK TO
EVERYBODY.
>> Jason: THE RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION AND KEEP GOING
AND GOING AND GOING AND NEVER
APOLOGIZE OR CLARIFY.
>> Harris: HAS CNN APOLOGIZED?
