From our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. Dan pfeiffer was Senior Advisor to the president until his resignation became effective last week. Before that he served as the president S Communications director. The former deputy chief of staff of operations called his departure the end of an era. Hes the last of a select group which stayed with the president from the beginning of the campaign for the white house. Announcing his resignation president obama said, hes been smart, steady, tireless, and true to the values we started with. He is a good man and a friend and im going to miss having him , just down the hall from me. Early this week, i talked to dan pfeiffer about his years in the white house. His decision to leave and the challenges facing president obama. Heres that conversation. You have had a remarkable experience. Youre in your early 30s and you have, since 2007, been at the side of the president of the United States. How do you decide when to leave . Dan thats a
Mike pence who heads the Coronavirus Task force, she was on the task force from day one. Now troy left the white house in late july and shes leveling some tough charges against President Trump in a new video. Towards the middle of february, we knew it wasnt a matter of if covid would become a big pandemic, it was a matter of when. The president didnt want to hear that because his biggest concern was we were in an Election Year and how was this going to affect what he considered his record of success. The truth is he doesnt actually care about anyone else but himself. Troy goes on to say that President Trump made a statement that she will never forget because in her view it defines who President Trump is. When we were in a task force meeting, the president said maybe this covid thing is a good thing. I dont like shaking hands with people. I dont have to shake hands with these disgusting people. Those disgusting people are the same people that he claims to care about. Troy goes on to say

I am told from one Republican Leadership aide it is possible enough republicans would vote for the bill to get it over the twothirds vote threshold needed tonight. Thats the threshold because the vote will be occurring under suspension of the rules. One of the key questions all along is whether or not republicans would put up some of the votes. We know in a democratic led house of representatives, theyre going to easily pass if it was a simple majority vote. But it is not. They need republicans. How many they get is a big question. I am told it is possible it could pass out of the house. If that happens, then the mess goes squarely to the u. S. Senate where the Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has to make a decision about whether or not he will bring this to the floor as a standalone bill, brianna. We dont know the answer to that now. We kn
Investigation now. Good morning everyone, im sandra smith. Ed looting, smashed police cars an overnight. Im george floyd died after a Police Officer pinned him to the ground for several minutes while he repeatedly required out i cant breathe. Floyd cooperated with police before he died amid growing calls for the arresting officer and perhaps others to face criminal charges. Its a life. And no Police Officer should be judge, jury and executioner. If any of us today took a life in the way that Police Officer took her life, we would be in handcuffs. We live in a society where that doesnt automatically happen. Sandra the case sparking protests across the country. William la jeunesse is live with him on all of that. What began as a protest turned into rioting and looting last night and continued this morning with an Apartment Building set on fire in response to the death of 46yearold george floyd.
