on trump and trumped turned on him just goes to show that trump is loyal only to trump. there s a washington post story, doug, and it s about the president s brand. it says president trump considers himself a branding wizard but he is vexed by a branding crisis of his own, how to shed the label of racist. do you see him really trying? or if you were giving him some sort of guidance effectively trying to shed that? i think he s trying to yell at staffers that they re doing it wrong. the reality is you change your rhetoric, you change your policies. not everything touches on race that he does. but so much time and time again when he decides to weigh in, weighs in with the wrong foot first and puts the foot down on it. as a republican who s worked for eric cantor, the former african-american rnc chairman, michael steele, i m really troubled by not only the rhetoric that comes from the president every time he talks about race but how accepted or at least ignored it is within the part
hiring freeze that was imposed by the trump administration has had a significant effect on all of our facilities, particularly this facility here. so you re talking about staff constant low working 60, 70-hour work weeks can i ask you a question about that, though. when you look at the hiring freeze, this is something that went into effect for several months and then lifted last year. is doj, is the bureau of prisons, are they operating under a, i guess, informal hiring freeze? explain this hiring freeze to us and how it s not just something that is from a year ago. well, when trump came in, he initially put a governmentwide hiring freeze. but that hiring freeze once it was lifted by the administration, the attorney general, jeff sessions, continued the hiring freeze for the bureau of prisons. all over components within the department was not held to a hiring freeze but the bureau of prisons were and subsequently we had multiple positions

not something that s registering with the american people. if the president wants to talk about this i want to ask you this election is too important. he said initially poor kids are as talented as white kids and this was corrected. and he immediately corrected himself. the statement initially, that still matters, what people say still matters even when it s corrected. it ignores the fact that there s a lot of poor white kids in the country. brianna, he corrected himself. this is a false narrative. simone, i ve been giving you time to answer, give me time to ask my question. so i guess my question is ignoring the fact with that statement that there are poor white kids in the country, especially in places that are so essential that say joe biden or any other democrat win because those are the areas as you know that president trump bested hillary clinton in to democrats devastating effect. did he miss an opportunity to talk about that? brianna, the vice president imm
be accepted by the justices this fall. very interesting. joan, thank you. the president apparently lashes out at his aides because he was called racist. plus, the special surprise john legend gave the families and victims of the dayton, we ll hear that next. limu emu and doug.
