united states, people serving as interpreters in iraq, being detained. some of them have been released apparently, but only because of public attention. how many others have been detained in the country, prevented from getting here, that have not gotten the benefit of publicity and are in detention, we don t know. the fact is that the orders would not have preventeded san bernardino or none of the 9/11 hijackers came from these countries. tells you that the example he is gives don t support the orders he s signed. we know that president trump will give this country, will give priority to christian refugees. here s how he put it to the christian broadcasting network just yesterday. because it treelts persecuting christians. do you see them as kind of a priority here? they ve been horribly treated. if you were a christian in syria, it was impossible, very at least very, very tough to get into the united states. if were you a muslim you could come in. and i thought it was very, very
don t always want the words. we ve seen a lot of photo opps from trump s meetings. and this has been effective. trump as being the president, playing the president very effectively. sort of how he was a businessman and he played a businessman on the apprentice. we re seeing them use the power of pictures. but be frustrated by the words, by the coverage. my reaction to bannon was this is only week one. the news coverage could get more critical, could get more skeptical. as plans are not put into place, as policies are delayed. they re going to be times where the media coverage is probably going to frustrate this white house a whole lot more than it did on week one. my thought was, if he s already sighing this on week one, it s time for us to put our backs up, make sure our spines are straight and cover this administration very strongly. you know how i judge it? if you re getting knocked on both sides on twitter, we re doing our jobs. you re getting knocked but also getting prais
