To have priebus publicly, the detail of the "wall street journal," we know from the reporting, he likes watching his aides fight each other. he gets a kick out of that. it is amusing to him. he looked askance at not firing back at scaramucci and that was the final straw. does that ring true to you? >> absolutely. so many people who have worked for trump in his orbit have told me trump gleefully and deliberately fosters an atmosphere that one person describes as the hunger games. he wants them on...

>> well, offen course theyre claiming that it is. they see kelly as someone that is strong where they saw reince priebus as weak. they see him imposing order to the white house. i think in the case of reince priebus he was working in the trump white house, but he was never really seen as a trump person. side logically or culturely or any other way. theres clearly a greater level of personal affection really between president trump and john kelly. so theyll be hoping that that pays dividends. the...

Media that is speaking out against the president. do you think the presidents behavior towards sessions changes now in light of the conservative media outcry? >> well see. t it is amazing. of all the people he smeared, the firing of the fbi director, the attacks on john mccain, this is what gets these people upset. thats because the triple instinct has kicked in. he is one of theirs. he is a loyal, anti-immigration, social conservative and they take offense at this. so for them its all about who...

The president has -- he has a genuine talent for attempting to humiliate people. genuine talent for bringing out the worst of people. those are things that he is sort of indisputable excellent at doing. to have priebus sort of publically this way. the details in the "wall street journal" that he -- we know from the reporting, he likes watching his aides fight each other. gets a kick out of that. its amusing to him. he likes to cultivate that atmosphere. he looks back -- that was the final straw....

Immigration policy for its thriving. they have to get back together behind the scenes and maybe try to mend the feud that has been going on between the two. >> julie, thank god i dont have to worry about politics, i watch that the way that jeff sessions was received in el salvador, i spent a lot of time down there back in the 80s, and you watch the affection that they had for him, knowing where he was coming from, and counting on him to carry the load for the department of justice, which there i...

Think this is a reflection of reince priebus or anthony scaramucci. who runs any organization like this? for those of us who have spent a lot of time studying donald trump and watching him over decades, this is how he does manage his business. you know, hes not a ceo, not that mentality. hes more of a, you know, its a family business. he runs it that way. he expects people to fight for his affection a little bit. so i think hes very comfortable with this idea. but he has a west wing that is tota...

The public. im sorry, but to go after steve bannon and say hes there in the white house until 11:00 every night, or wherever he is because he is trying to build his brand. bannon does need to build his brand. hes trying to help the country and help trump. i think this, im sorry, i like scaramucci, i think is very talented, but this episode is humiliating to the president. i think it ultimately humiliates him. it does not serve the coming occasion of this agenda well. im probably going to take th...

Directly into the >> he also indicated again in a bit of a role reversal, that it seemed that president trump was his briefer in advance of this interview. that president trump was prepping him for this interview. he said he had a 15-minute conversation with him before he got on here. so not only is he talking directly to him and allowing president trump to watch on cable news theagelation coming his way from his staffer, but its what he cooked up just before he got on. >> david, youre 100% righ...

Upset. >> im never upset. its never personal for me except for the fact i have a little bit of affection for you. >> same here, but let me say this to you. whether its cnn or any other news organization, that is here at the white house, we are open for business. and i believe. >> good. >> the first amendment, as does the president and im here to tell you i would like fair treatment and objective coverage. i always respect you for asking tough questions, lets give the president an opportunity to ...

Or anything else. and you know, i think it was a message to by the way, indicated he would not vote for this legislation in its present form. i think what he was saying is lets get back to regular order which means youve got committees. im on the health education labor committee. let the committees work on these issues. lets have serious debate. i thought what he said was useful in that regard. >> you went up and spoke to him can you say what you told him? >> ive known john. obviously i think ev...
