one thing we should point out, and you don t see this very often, there was a separate stage set up to sort of the side of where we are in these press risers, and a fox & friends personality was set up on that riser with the president, the president came out and it was i think it was very noteworthy, don, that the former fox executive, bill shine, who is now the deputy chief of staff over at the white house, over sarah huckabee sanders, the press secretary, he was sort of looking on and almost giving instructions to the crew as they were setting up this interview. but during that interview with fox news, the president talked about the new york times op-ed, said that he believes that that is an act of treason then he went on to talk about the nfl, pledge of allegiance, national anthem controversy, excuse me, and then also talked about what he sees as this priority of his, to build the wall and the border and whether or not he thinks there should be a government shutdown. he seemed
that word ban. you ask her, focus now, you ask her if we have used the word banne banned. those are the things you see on the bottom of the screen and mr. shine banning. here s the truth, banning, baring, restricting, not inviting. frankly, this is a matter of semantics. we stood by she was told she was not allowed to cover a open press event you hosted after asking the president questions about michael cohen in the oval office. this all comes as cnn reports bill shine s influence is rising in the white house him there are days the former fox executive sees the president much more than the chief of staff john kelly. joan walsh and cnn political commentator, steve cortez, mr. trump s 2020, reelect
political jab at senator elizabeth warren. in the middle of the debate when she pro claims that she s of indian heritage, we will take that little kit and say we have to do it gently because when t we re in the me too generation. we have to be gentle. and we will slowly toss it hoping it doesn t hit her and injure her arm. warren responding by criticizing trump for testing the dna of migrant kids taken from their parents and being too incompetent to reunite the families. trump s apparent mockery of me too comes on the same day that he also took an action many people in the movement feel is very disturbing. giving a top white house job to bill shine, fox executive ousted over accusations he enabled or stood by during multiple reports of sexual misconduct in that office by roger ailes as well as bill o reilly both of whom were defended by trump. reporter: in an interview with the new york times, trump called o reilly a good person. trump said, i think he shouldn t

president and house republicans tried to make a case of republicans that they should get rid of the filibuster. you did this for the supreme court and look what happened. we have a great justice, a lot of victories and expecting more. you should do the same thing for appropriations and they actually won a convert on this, the senate appropriations chairman richard shellby apparently told the president okay, i can back this even though mitch mcconnell is opposed to it and the president said where have you been? and i just think we re going to see a big assault on the filibuster in the coming months. i don t know they actually get rid of it. i don t think they will but still, it s note worthy. can t wait for the tweets, i m sure that s where we get the first word. so few presidents have made as much news and much controversy because of the white house tumult and staff comings and goings as this president. we re about to enter one of these phases where you see staff turnover at the wh
