i m not going to have time to go play golf. he played more golf last year than tiger woods. but if i were in the white house, i don t think i d ever see turnberry again. i don t think i d see doral again. i m not going to be playing much golf, believe me, if i win this, i m not going to be playing much golf. here with me, julie pace, phil mattingly, vivian solano. there s clearly hypocrisy of the obama reference, which we could just set that aside in the sense that there are a lot of things this president said as a candidate, especially about obama, that we can attribute if you want to just a politician saying things. so there s the hypocrisy. the other question to me more is the empathy factor. yes, the storm was hitting the bahamas yesterday, not really the united states yet. but i can t find the words for it. but has he rewritten all the rules, all the norms? the empathy question is something this president has struggled with in a lot of different situations, but certainly when
help one another. our unity, what unites us rather than what divides us. i think it has been a time of healing through tremendous tragedy, people have said we have so much more in common than what the mainstream media would tell us that divides us, i think that s really important. jesse: it is important. the press seems focused on the empathy factor, juan. i don t know how they get this information, they believe that the president doesn t care and he lacks empathy toward the actual victims. back up to the election. t i think hillary clinton was the robot that couldn t connect and couldn t show empathy. t president trump won in november because he empathize with that forgotten man, the victims of unfair trade deals, the victims of open borders and bad deals. that s what got him elected. juan: i m not sure, but okay. people say lots of things, i

over the weekend he was in camp david, and was participating in daily teleconferences, phone calls as well, according to his aides. but also yesterday, you know, he sent mike pence to fema to get a briefing on the status of the storm. he was receiving updates through his chief of staff john kelly. so in some ways, that s pretty typical of this president. he tends to get his information through his aides. he likes to be briefed in that way. and it seems that very much so that he s been keeping track of it in that way. it remains to be seen what the empathy factor is going to be here. that s i think he understands the magnitude of the storm, the depth of the, the destruction, the gravity of the rescue efforts under way. what we are hoping to see today or what we might see today is where the president is in terms of what jeff was talking about. the hugs, the handshakes, the
the first request, the president sends a request to congress. as pointed out earlier, first crisis of his presidency not of his own making. the empathy factor, response, making people feel he s engaged and will be a leader throughout. the more important one, can he deliver? made a bold promise yesterday. you re get help and get it quickly. we ll see if that happens. has to get something through congress. estimates ranging from what i ve seen, $30 billion to as much as $100 billion to rebuild houston. year s long process and will be judged whether he can deliver that means getting things through congress. building relationships and making sure it doesn t get caught up in politics. the advantage for him, who he is, interested in building or rebuilding is sort of a natural fit for him. i think when he is engaged on something, which we haven t seen on a lot of policy, he probably can get pretty into that and make connections with for instance, democrats who will be happy to help on this.
