and the washington post is already delivering from the leakiest white house in history the inside the white house activity that s been going on since the panic has struck yesterday. the washington post reporting the white house officials engaged in a two hour practice session known as a murder board. in the eisenhower executive office building with kavanaugh where he answered questions on his past, his partying, his dating, and the accuser s account. participants included don mcgahn, the white house counsel, the deputy chief of staff, bill shine, press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, and raj shah who is leading communications. and it s so striking that bill shine is in that room. he was at fox news trying to save bill o reilly s job from sexual harassment charges. and he couldn t do that. that s right. and what you have here is clearly a group of people who are focusing on the pub leg relations aspect of the hearing. this is a president used to
dating, and the accuser s account. participants included don mcgahn, the white house counsel, the deputy chief of staff, bill shine, press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, and raj shah who is leading communications. and it s so striking that bill shine is in that room. he was at fox news trying to save bill o reilly s job from sexual harassment charges. and he couldn t do that. that s right. and what you have here is clearly a group of people who are focusing on the pub leg relations aspect of the hearing. this is a president used to paying off women so you don t hear the side of the story and running the risk you ll have to deal can her side of the story when he s had to tell his side of the story to congress and can t lie about that or faces legal jeopardy. the reason why the republicans wa want skkavanaugh on the court, he s a loyal republicans. changes his view on presidential
well, after that, 13 companies have pulled their ads, among them trip sizer, hulu, johnson & johnson. friday i thingraham announced t they would be taking a vacation for ieaster. joining us with this week s watch for this, beth, those are just some of the things you will cover, but let s start with laura ingraham. i think what i m watching for is whether anymore advertisers decide to bail and what fox news decides do about it. we have another new one that you didn t include on that list, bayer, which is a major pharmaceutical company. they pulled out of bill o reilly s back when he was immediately thrust into a huge controversy around the news that fox network had paid out $13
