throughout this hour we ll talk to the journalists that brought about the most remarkable years of reporting in memory, covering one of the most hostile administrations in american history. we begin with michael schmidt, correspondent fran chessa chambers. let me start with you. i see you almost every day in that briefing room, first with schaub spicer and now with sarah huckabee standers. what is that dynamic like. it seems different than previous briefing rooms. what is it like. the sharp shift here in the briefing room behind the scenes in this white house is that previously you would all count on the associated press to be called into the briefing room and you could count on there being a policy question and sort of news of the day first and that is something this administration has done away with. and so that is why you ll see them going to other outlets across the room and you never know if you are going to be the first one to get called on. so have to you be very, very prepare
trump tower, the french president. it s interesting, in light of what weave seen in the last 24 hours with climate change. this is a president that has had a stance on climate change, originally calling it a hoax, saying various things about it that his administration never clarified, even after that series of hurricanes walloped first texas and then florida and the caribbean up. were in those briefing rooms, peter up. know the white house largely dodged or deflected when pressed on those questions. and then there is this report over the weekend that the u.s. was considering, perhaps, not wi withdrawing from paris climate. you know who nipped that in the bud? gary cohn i m going to interrupt you. the president with benjamin netanyahu. let s take a quick listen to the two men. a little shandshake. we want to listen in.
