john kelly at that moment. he says, quote here. i believe in the president s agendas and i think it should get executed. kyle, your response to that and do you believe that kushner is going to be in the white house for the long haul? sure. well, it seems like that is exactly what top aide to the president should say. you know? the fact is no one really wants to go to work. doesn t matter what job you re in. you don t want to go to work and have this infighting and politicking to get your voice heard. you would like an orderly workplace. i do believe that statement. i have a hard time giving that donald trump is so isolated from the establishment, republicans. he doesn t really have a traditional operation around him, preliminary operation around him.
disavowing the candidacy of roy moore i wonder if he ll do it just to upset the haters as he likes to call them. you know, we heard earlier on cnn he is upset with his daughter for criticizing roy moore and the aelllegations against him. i think it s shocking the white house is calling these eight women and who knows how many more might come forward, liars. but the president is in a difficult position. if he says we should tend to e believe women and more coming forward with agencies, he has to answer the question why we don t believe a different group of women with similar allegations against the president, himself. so i think it s anyone s guess what he might do. i think more than likely, though, we are going to see early morning or late night tweet from donald trump endorsing roy moore and that will be without his aides around to stop him. kyle, let me throw this at you. we know that this week that the
i think this is a case definitely of be careful what you wish for. jared kushner reportedly was one of the big forces behind getting reince priebus out as chief of staff and now look what happened. that led to john kelly coming in as chief of staff and he has really curbed jared kushner s access during the day to donald trump. and it is quite a striking difference. i sort of wonder, though, if the focus is there. we hear from that the new york times story as well that besides middle east peace and bringing government to the modern era, he is also working on nafta and re-entry of the american prisoners into society. this is a very wide ranging portfolio and you wonder how one person can handle all of this and it s john kelly, i m sure, is asking the same question. yeah. kyle, reportedly the president, privately, this is according to a report, blames kushner for special counsel robert mueller s
interesting gets even more so now. back to talk about all of is this our panel that is kelly jane torrance of the weekly standard and kyle felcher of the washington news examiner. thank you for both for coming back. kelly, how significant, how important do you think barkley endorsement is going to be? and will it change the conversation, especially about doug jones and roy moore? it s an excellent question, martin. i think the biggest thing that is might effect is turn out. as you mentioned in the lead-up here, doug jones has to win a lot of african-americans it seems to win that seat. a lot of them probably are not really excited by doug jones. he is not exactly a thrilling candidate. so turnout is going to be very important and getting people, you know, a little bit riled up and interested in getting out there for the special election. december 12th, not a day that people normally have on their calendars as listen election. i have to say charles barkley is
partly right, that, you know, roy moore should have been disqualified before all of these allegations came out but i think before he brought on steve bannon. this is a man who showed, proved as a judge that he does not believe in the rule of law. he thinks that we should have the rule of men, you know, judges over the law. i think that should have disqualified him from the beginning. yeah, he was twice removed from the alabama supreme court. let me ask you this, kyle, though. roy moore has not made a public appearance, i ve been following his campaign now for almost three weeks. he stayed off the campaign trail immediately after the allegations came forward. he has been ab sent. he runs ads but you haven t seen a lot of them. i m wondering if you think that is a good strategy for him? well, given roy moore s propensity to say outlandish things, we will say, and be, you know, just kind of a fire brand, to the point where this is a whan who also whipped out a gun
