heather: good morning, live from new york city. sunshine might appear in new york city but still really cold across portions of the east coast for another day this january on monday, you re watching fox & friends , i m heather childers, thank you so much for joining us. steve bannon doing a complete 180. the former white house chief strategists apologizing for the first lady or the first family i should say for controversial comments in a tell-all book called fire and fury. griff jenkins live in washington, d.c. about how the president is firing back about questions of mental stability, good morning, griff. good morning, heather, happy belated birthday, it seems sloppy steve may be campaigning
ten minutes after a fox segment on media questioning his mental stability. i don t have any independent reporting on this. the white house saying he works very hard but it s clear john kelly had wanted to get him to the office earlier because they felt like once he was at the office they could have meetings, briefings, keep him off twitter and help him be better informed and he seems to be losing that battle if this report about his schedule is right. i heard from someone who had been in the white house and kelly says to the person you want to see the president and the person says, isn t he busy? and kelly says, no, he has no schedule. that s what s there. i thought for the first time about the word tweet going back to all of our previous segmentes in terms of mental stability. what a gift it is. without the tweeting, there would be a shield around all of this. the tweets right now, which all of us, oh, take the tweets away, are actually the world s best friend because that s the
on twitter. [i think this kind of got covered up today because of his most recent tweet about mental stability. because i got this on my phone about 11:30 pm last night. michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. he is sloppy steve bannon who cried when he got fired. now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. too bad! is this a distraction to the presidents agenda another bump in the road? we ve been asking that question in the last year in congress. i think it does distract republican members of congress but they are doing their best to keep their eyes away from this car crash that is happening. whenever the president tweets. the agenda i believe, is really based in congress. at least that is what they say. i think it makes it harder for them to work with the executive

president s mental stability. and then, of course, rex tillerson was quoted, and he never directly denied it, that the president was a moron. now, i know donald trump, and he s not a moron. he has more than significant intelligence. his biggest problem is he doesn t seem to listen, he doesn t seem to be engaged, he doesn t seem to care about things, and he seems to respond i mean, if your stability were in question, you d shake it off. you don t say, i m a genius, i m stable, stability is one of my main assets. look, donald trump has a lot of assets. he can sell anything, but stability would not be at the top of the wrung. gina, does the governor have a point there, that if your stability is questioned, you should sort of be able to shake it off, move on, do your job? i mean, if his narrative were ever honestly discussed in the media, but we know that it isn t, when 90% of the media has focused on negative things about
