something like that. if any individual believes that he needs to resign because he s come into conflict with the president, he ought to do that. if he believes that he can prevail in discussion, he ought to do that. it s a free country, including for members of congress and the white house. they can give the rationale that they have and let the rest of us judge. speaking of resignations, i just have to ask, because you re a part of the president s transition team or his campaign, both, and you left last january, 2017. there were suggestions that you left because of growing tension over the president s vicks for the intelligence agencies. i was an adviser on the campaign and they started carrying me on chyrons in the press, after that, as being a senior member of the transition
chyrons, the kid who writes the chyron. the kid who writes the banner. most important person in america. we got to do a documentary on this guy! this is the real power. right. the chyron guy for fox & friends. wow generic. thank you all. stick around. up ahead, another, as michael steele just told you, now the shutdown showdown ramps up. congress more divided than ever. are they going to reach any deal before the lights go out? today looks bad. we ll be right back. shawn evans: it s 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston, 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we re bringing you america s number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i m proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette.
you know, following the facts in another direction with manafort s business. this came right around the time that the senate judiciary was talking about needing to subpoena manafort to get the records that they were requesting. they ended up reaching an agreement on that. but it could also be an indication that the fbi was concerned manafort wasn t going to cooperate. there were signs he wasn t cooperating with the senate judiciary committee, and they felt they had to take this step. so i don t think this is going to be the last, you know, big piece of news and the big development that happens in this investigation over the summer and even into the fall and winter. shannon, vice news. perhaps you ve heard reporting based on white house sources that the president gets a folder of positive news clips delivered to him twice a day. the folders are filled with screen shots of positive cable news chyrons, fawning interviews, praise-filled news stories and sometimes just pictures of trump o
don t support the president right now. are you trying to persuade them or just to appeal to the base from now on? again, you want that to say the president said on november 9th, as he was elected and hillary clinton called my cell phone and congratulated and important word, conceded. i know that they can t let go of these election results. we re talking about hillary clinton, again? honestly. i don t have time for that. if you re going to talk about russia and talk about e-mails and talk about investigations, you re going to always be talking about hillary clinton. i didn t bring up russia. your network is obsessed with that. you re vested in it. all the chyrons say it constantly and the reason i raised her doesn t mean it s not a big story. it s not a big story. what makes it big, you can t tell me this is about the campaign and not talk about hillary clinton. the reason i just raised her is because when she called to concede the election to donald trump, he immediatel
uncomfortable about being aggressive with this story. all we ve seen is sarah sanders, heard her at the podium with very simple statements. but he thinks they should be more aggressive. they should be fighting for changes to the chyrons in the cable news shows, that surrogates should be armed and out immediately fighting against the story, that there are ways for the press shop to be involved while not being legally culpable, but like i said, there s a lot of concern, people are telling me, you know, knowing less is more, we don t want to know anything about this russia investigation. we don t want to talk about it, because a lot of these people, they re going to be stuck with tons of legal bills if they know too much. and don that front, should they be saying less or more, john dean? well, their lawyers will tell them to say less. i remember well in watergate that while the press secretary never got himself indicted, his
