the bottom line is we all serve at the pleasure of the president. if he s not pleased you ll know it. t at this time he has confident in david shell kin. the old, at this point and time somebody s job is safe. let s see if that remains at 2:00 eastern later on today when the deputy press secretary will brief reporters in the white house. the da secretary david shulkin can be the next to go through that resolving door. we know the washington attorneys jodey general notify and victoria announced they will not be joining that team at all because of conflicts of interest. joining us is katherine lucy. and also michael steel. whose tan like a two-week
kind of attention unless that s something you want to have play out to the point where someone like shulkin goes, why am i here. this is the thing from the beginning he love to have competition for dominance. i think there s a reason that donald trump ended up more in the business of putting his name on other biddings rather than trying to get things built himself. he thinks this is the natural order of thing and it s part of the the thing of why he has been chafing being kelly. kelly is able to control the flow of information to the president, the president could like a more free willing situation with more chaos although he d claim it isn t chaos. this is spring cleaningism look at what has happened over the last month. look at who has gone in that resolving door. the president is cleaning out
