Would be the one saying my record should be open. i am transparent. ask me any questions. and thats not whats happening now, so it allows democrats to say what are you hiding. what is the white house hiding about judge kavanaugh that should be on the record. >> and it seems like it is a mistake to examine anything donald trump does in a narrow manner. donald trump is sitting there watching cable coverage of the woodward book, reading about secretary mattis basically thinking he is a moron. kelly...

Low. the white house hasnt been speaking out who he has been reading with and golfing with. we know over the last ten days or so, we have seen reflected in his tweets, as well as these private conversations how upset he has been watching the manafort trial day after day. its the cable coverage, its in his face. its mostly you, inescapable every day that he sees it there. and that he -- as hes told people around him, he feels that sort of muellers opening act. even though this trial is not about ...

We know over the last ten days or so, we have seen reflected in his tweets, as well as these private conversations, how upset he has been watching the manafort trial day after day. its the cable coverage, its in his face. its mostly you, inescapable every day that he sees it there. and that he -- as hes told people around him, he feels that thats sort of muellers opening act. even though this trial is not about russia, but he feels muellers hand is involved, obviously manafort was a prominent pa...

Co-author. trump has seethed to confidantes that he views the manafort charges as a warning shot from mueller. he has told those close to him that as he watches the courtroom proceedings, he fears that donald trump jr. could at some point be the one on trial, left out all the careful sourcing that you were careful to put in this. youre just back from bedminster, new jersey. how is the president enjoying his vacation? >> we havent seen too much of him on the vacation. >> exactly the way they plan...

Stakes for him. we know from our reporting that president trump sees that summit as his great man moment. this is going to be tough to top so people are worried about what he might give away or what the concessions would be. but the stage was set with mike pompeo who until yesterday was the cia director. then yesterday confirmed to the secretary of state, hopped on a plane at andrews air force base now in brussels but he got to a senate vote with seven votes to spare. this was supposed to be ver...

If you watch any of this cable coverage or you read "the new york times" or "washington post," it is all destroy trump all the time. they dont let up even for a second. and they have not gotten onto what i think it is the biggest abuse of power scandal in the history of the country. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think transparency does go a long way, sean. you have always had, i am not a journalist, im an opinion host. i am a staunch supporter of the president. msnbc -- you are he talks a...

Years, and now i think they are more being turned off by it. maybe, just maybe, that is why they only have one show in the top 25 in cable among total viewers out of msnbc and fox. i think that it has a negative effect, even though its creating the social buzz on social media because, i dont know, it is cheap and it becomes that cheesy news network as a result. i cant justify it, quite frankly. >> sean: i decided we will do a deep dive into all of them. all of their conflicts. i mean, a deep inv...

On tv that puts him in a bad mood. so, it really is waves and ebbing and flowing. the bottom line is whenever russia comes up, whether its in an article like the one mike and maggie wrote, which then gets a lot of cable coverage, he is almost never happy. it is a thing that sort of sends him flying offer the handle. it makes him tweet. its the thing that makes him call friends early in the morning and late at night. they pickup the phone and he doesnt even introduce himself. technically hes some...

She is also emotional in this. she is a pure loyalist to the president. >> jen, you were white house communication director. you know the job. >> there is no question hope by all accounts played an important account. she was the tamer of the savage beast that is donald trump. she protected many people on the staff from his whims and mood swings. the communication directors and the role of the communication director is not to print off cable coverage or print off tweets. that is not entirely her ...
