we of course broadcast the entire briefing because you should be able to hear what this white house is telling reporters and telling the public about what's going on. but this briefing was pretty much held in the dark. there were lights on in the briefing room but the cameras were not allowed inside the briefing. it's the latest example of this white house being resistant to transparency but good news, if you want to hear from the president, he is giving his first interview in almost six weeks, giving it to fox and friends, which is a pro-trump show and one question i'd like him to be asked is are you going to start making tapes now. you didn't record comey. are you going to start recording people in the oval office. it will be curious to see what he says on this issue in that interview tomorrow. >> sean, here's my question to you. the white house's source talking to jeff says in addition to the president being amused is that this tapes episode is what led to a special counsel and this is part of what david and dana were saying about the direct line from the tweet to the mueller memo, or rather the comey memo
