condolences, no. the empty barrel comment. an empty barrel if you roll it down the road makes a lot of noise but there is nothing in it. that s all it is noise. that s it. noise. our president called somebody, offered condolences and is being criticized for the way in which he did it. no. just move on. pete: absolutely. if you are in the white house. if you are president trump. if you are general kelly, you get endlessly frustrated with a media narrative built against you. but president trump, he had an interview with maria bartiromo that s going to air on sunday morning future tomorrow. he talked about his ability to go over that media narrative with a new tool you know it, it s called twitter. take a listen. i doubt i would be here if it weren t for social media to be honest with you. because there is a fake media out there. i get treated very unfairly by the media. i have a tremendous platform. i think i have 125 million people between twitter and instagram and all of them and fac
