public comments we saw over the summer his agenda was stalling and he was feuding with republican lawmakers behind the scenes. we know he was learning how the presidency interacts with congress. now that he sort of has the rhythm down we are seeing his agenda is moving through congress and maybe that evolution of thought is explaining why he is being more successful now. kyle and sarah, i think a lot of people might still be a little concerned about the president s health with those 12 diet cokes a day and potentially eight hours of television. thank you very much both for joining us today. backlash now from people who disagree with chief strategist steve bannon, at least the former chief strategist of the white house. we will tell you who is protesting his return to sirius xm by refusing to give the radio network an interview. now in this week s staying well. hot bath. sound good, right? a sauna.
entered the world of politics. so to see that he would think of the world or think of the presidency as a tv show is kind of keeping in line with the fact that he was the host of the apprentice. he kind of saw his life in that way. kyle, is it really fair to the american to be the trump show to be these background characters in a show starring donald trump? well, i think a lot of people knew what they were voting for when they voted for this guy. i mean, he had run his campaign in the same way he is running his presidency. he was a constant from one movement to the next and people seem to like that. he won the electoral college and has low for a first-year president approval ratings. but, nonetheless, this is not a flaw. or something that was unexpected. i think people expected this
president s day is like. they talk about how many diet cokes he drinks a day to how much tv he consumes. how he has evolved as a president while in the white house. how he thinks acts. we want to talk about this with our political panel, kyle and sarah. let s talk about the one getting all of the play on social media right now. it really is interesting that the president drinks about 12 cans of diet coke a day that he can watch up to eight hours of television a day and that before he took office, he said to think of each presidential day as an episode in a tv show. is this concerning? is this just sort of a look at his untraditional his nontraditional habits, kyle? it really is. your point it s a nontraditional habit p.m. this isn t a man who made his career off of being his own publicist and being you know, getting his name out there. he was an entertainer on tv before, you know, he really

dialed into homes starting today. part of that call, he hits his democratic opponent doug jones, saying if alabama elects a liberal democrat, doug jones, all of our progress will be stopped full. roy moore is the guy we need to pass our make america great again agenda. maybe not much from roy moore the last few days but a lot on behalf of the president. if his campaign says he has been out over the last five days, there are plenty of reporters across the state who would have noticed him at one of these events. thank you so much. to discuss, kyle felter of the washington examiner and sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. doug jones is courting the black vote and cory booker and john lewis voting for him. why do you think the black voters are not inclined to vote for jones with the problem right now? kyle? it seems like a problem democrats have on a regular basis. there is always this kind of
