so let's bring in jamie weinstein, host of "the jamie weinstein show" podcast and contributor to "the washington examiner" to talk about all of this. welcome to you. >> thanks for having me. laura: how do you describe the activity we saw out of white house? what's your take? >> you've heard of friday news dumps, this was a friday and hurricane news dump, at least i think with the joe arpaio pardon. that's the type of news that probably would get negative coverage in much of the mainstream press, but, you know, with the hurricane and the weekend, it's not getting all that much news. but it is getting news where i think the trump administration and president trump wanted it to get news, and that is in publications like breitbart where supporters of donald trump will be enthused by this pardon. so it's getting kind of pick-up where i think donald trump wanted it to, but with the hurricane and the friday night delivery being the weekend now, it's not getting as much coverage as it would if it was on a monday with no other news going on.
