a lot of big issues to discuss, including the recent reports that there ares do dozen dozens of officials within the trump administration who haven t received their permanent security clearance, including top adviser jared kushner. i was just told by one former obama official it is unusual that you would have a top official like jared kushner not have a permanent security clearance now after a year of serving here at the white house. so that is one of the big issues that we will likely address with sarah sanders. in addition, we re going to ask her about the mixed messaging here at the white house and the wake of the ouster of rob porter. of course we heard president trump last friday say that he wishes rob porter well. not saying anything about his accusers and then earlier today one official at the white house out on the morning show was very adamant that a president trump feels strongly that there can be a no tolerance zone when it comes to things like abuse and domestic abuse and
president trump first said he makes phone calls, but president obama didn t, that that didn t start the ball rolling on this whole unfortunate situation? well jake, i can tell you they ve been extremely defensive about this. they re defensive about questions like the one i asked the president on monday, just why haven t we heard from you on this? this is the deadliest combat incident involving u.s. soldiers since this president has been in office. it s very uncharacteristic to not hear from the president on anything that s in the news, much less something as heart breaking, devastating as losing four american soldiers in a situation like this, that s what sparked this, that s what sort of sparked the incident of political score boarding, the president suggesting that obama and other presidents didn t make calls as frequently as he did and eventually that s what got us to this controversy over the president s conversation with this widow, but the white house has basically said that th
we will do. jonathan swann, you have been on the id reporting this thing. that kind of message that steve bannon is delivering, i got some it sounds like he is saying, at least to me, i got some information, i got some material i dpleend in the white house i will maybe take and share with the public f. are you donald trump, how is donald trump reacting to this? i haven t we heard from the president today, but i know that he s been venting about steve bannon a lot recently. he s been telling people bannon is a leaker. he has been saying, who does the guy think he is? one of the thing that upsets, angered is a better word. trump was this book by josh green, can bloomberg reporter, which a lot of people close to trump saw as a vanity biography for steve ban. trump resented the notion that bannon was taking credit for his election victory. so trump has been incredibly

most issues he says i alone can fix it. i get us 4% growth. i ll take care of isis. everything is going to turn around. somebody ought to do something. so for people that feel very emotions battled and it s a very real feeling, this is not even going to get the ball start. this is literally the bare minimum he could have done and the question still remains why haven t we heard from you before? how come this always escapes your twitter feed. when are you going to do something about this. panel thank you very much. there s no question the new administration is creating opportunities. the question is what will the democrats do with those opportunities. that comes down to leadership. quick programming note, dana bash and i are going to moderate a primetime debate tonight. they re going to take the party forward. join us tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern only on cnn.
