History to watch this presidency and the lies just spilling out every day. and thats on the record. everyone can corroborate it back to themselves, but loft in the conversation yesterday was the policy. it got so personal and emotional on both sides. who learned anything about the policy during this conversation? >> by the way, that was the problem, tim. peter baker, i wanted to hear the policy. i never get a chance to hear the policy because we were hearing speeches. >> and tim, do you think th...

Their real influence has been over hiring and firing people. >> whats the early word on competence? h are people impressed with what ivanka and jarrod bring to the table. hes getting a lot of scrutiny for some awkward comments he made to interns and his apparent ignorance. >> i think its depends on who you ask. if you look at "the wall street journals" transcript, the president referred to jarrod kushner as a good boy which is not necessarily a vote of confidence for his maturity when you come t...

Fun out of dysfunction, which is to say that they really dont have their act together. do you think thats fair? >> they came into the white house without enough public service experience in the game and that showed the first six months. even though this last week may have been one of the most difficult for them, i really do think on the conversations ive had with some of the people involved that theyre beginning to bds that theyve got to tighten it up. i have great hopes going forward that this ...

Anything normal. and until people say look, weve had enough, we need some adults in the room and this nonsense has got to stop, which is distracting from the agenda and the message of the president. i thought that interview, on the record, with the new yorker was one of the most despicable things id ever witnessed in my entire journalism career and he should apologize for that and get the job of the presidents agenda moving and stop this insane in fighting which is all about their own egos. >> s...

After coming on board? >> well, look obviously he didnt do anything to help him but i have to get to the comments he made on the on-the-record interview with with the new yorker which was beyond the scope of human decency. at some point all of us that are trump supporters have to draw a line in the sand that you simply have to have some common senses and element of the decorm. he took the title of communications director. hes the spokesperson of the leader of the free world and to do that interv...

So ill start with you, keith. this guy, he has apologized. he even admitted to getting some kind of sick satisfaction from trolling and he vowed not to do it again. do you see this as some progress? >> well, i think it shows a little bit of maturity on his part that he was welling to apologize for his behavior, but he owes it to the united states who has yet to apologize for his tweeting this, his childish and immature behavior and for supporters to enable this type of caricature of the presiden...
