A recap of the days news. When you listen to the rhetoric of the politicians and the leaders and the people in that movie, right, and i remember listen, i remember one of my friends, a white kid. I went to pick him up at his restaurant in louisiana. We were going out. I was going to lsu. He was talking about some incident that happened in the restaurant because his family owned it. I said, who are you talking about . He said, whos that . He said, just some that works for us. Then he caught himself. He didnt realize that word gets thrown around a lot. That i was there. This was 1987. 86. And it just it jolted me. It was a moment. It was like a moment of complete awakening for me. I think this movie, im sure youre hoping its going to be the same way for some people. I hope so. I mean, as an artist, as a filmmaker, whether youre whatever you are, you put your stuff out there and you hope that people connect to it. You know, in my case, don, ive had several films that people didnt get when
out. i rolove that movie. from that movie i get the okeydoke. i always tell people don t fall for the okeydoke. explain what the okeydoke is. the okeydoke is it keeps your eye an where it should be. it s distraction. in football, it s the misdirection play. fake, team s going this way, the other guy is going, high stepping toward the end zone. and a lot of times any time this guy in the white house gets in trouble, there s some tweet that goes out and everybody is scrambling around thinking about what he says. he got to maybe, ignore those tweets. we got to be smarter. yeah. because, again, in oaanother sports metaphor, he s running the same play all the time. right. any sport. the other team s running the same play all the time, you should be able to stop it. this guy knew it was coming.
joint session of congress, president trump met with news anchors at the white house. i was there. he said he would support a compromise immigration bill and a senior administration official went on to say that president trump would even support legal status for undocumented immigrants who have not committed other serious crimes while being in the u.s. president trump didn t bring this up during his address to congress. his staff told cnn the next day that the whole thing about a compromise immigration bill was a, quote, misdirection play. as someone who worked hard on this issue, what do you make of all of this? i don t think it s a misdirection play. the president realizes that we have an immigration problem in america and we need to fix it. but i also think the president realizes and it s been my advise to him and anyone who will listen, is the best way is to take our time and do this right. the white house told cnn it was a misdirection play. the white house basically said hey,
selected for closure. additional 16 will stay open because they have separate funding. one republican senator says it s all a misdirection play. they are not being shut town, because they re expensive. on average they cost $1.3 million less per year to operate. they are shut down to come back with unionized employees in the regular air tower system. things aren t what they seem. we don t have a problem in front of us we can t solve. what we have is a lack of leadership an direction to get there. shannon: see the full interview with senator coburn sunday on america s news headquarters at 12:00 p.m. eastern. president obama is in jordan tonight. the latest stop on a middle east tour dominated by threats involving iran and syria. refugees are pouring in to jordan. chief white house correspondent ed henry traveling with the president and reports tonight from ahman. with the sun setting on president obama s first foreign trip of his second
