smart enough to know that jared kushner isn t going anywhere, ivanka trump isn t going anywhere. chiefs of staff have always had to deal with very delicate issues of family.james baker had to deal with nancy reagan, although there was never any issue of security clearance. so i think trump and kelly will find a way to finesse this. i think it s easy for that edict to simply go away or trump to overrule it. i think kelly may be in the doghouse but i don t think he going anywhere any time soon. this is a new quinnipiac poll. it says 62% of people say it is inappropriate for jared kushner to play a significant role in the white house. 24% say it s appropriate. there have been questions from the beginning about kushner s experience. is it time for him to step back, dan? well, look, i had the same job kushner had. he actually sits in my old office. and it is anyone who was who had lied on their security
years when the obama administration was not including fox news and they went after fox news, a little taste of it here. this is dan pfeifer at the white house back in 09. we simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction that fox is a traditional news organization. and josh ernest back then saying we figured fox show so you think you can dance than broadcast an honest discussion about the reform. trump s tone and blunt enes is different here, but how different is what he s actually doing? what s different about what he s doing is that any news organization that prints something negative about him, he goes after them. he went after fox news in the primary, remember? he went after fox news on twitter, said he couldn t get a fair hearing out of them. this has no basis in the reality. or any news organization that when he s watching tv at night, he happens to see something negative, and he takes off on
guarantee that dana bash or jake tapper won t get flustered. hugh hewitt, i don t think he will either. thank you for being with us this morning. i appreciate it. another strange twist to the debate. a conservative group, club for growth, is actively campaigning against a republican candidate in the primary. trump wants us to think he s mr. tellis like it is. but he has a record and it is very liberal. he s really just playing us for chumps. i would guess trump s opponents on the stage will use the same line of attack. here to talk about this and more, dan pfeifer, former senior advise tore presideed adviser t. welcome both. before we begin our conversation i d just like to add that trump did respond to the club for growth. he said, little respected club for growth asked me for $1 million. i said no.
you would see so many people galvanized to protest in a very organized and reasonable fashion but with the kind of power and anger that they do feel because what they re seeing is horrifying to them. dr. gail, thank you for being here. my pleasure. just ahead, there are not many people who get to advise the president of the united states on what to do and how to communicate, but my next guest is one of them. senior adviser and former white house communications director dan pfeifer. he ll join me and tell me all about media and messaging after a quick break.
a brown problem or a native american problem. this is an american problem. when anybody in this country is not being treated equally under the law, that s a problem. and it s my job as president to help solve it. do you ever wonder in moments like that how obama decides what to say and when to say it? what are the con clations made before the president decides his message? one guy knows the answer better than anybody. the president s senior adviser and former communications director dan pfeiffer. i have been wanting to talk to him on question reliable sourc year. i have a lot to ask him when i sad down with him earlier. dan, thank you for joining me. thanks for mahaving me. there s been criticism of the president for being too restrained for not something everything he wants to say. is he saying everything he wants to say?
