and, did fox news cave to donald trump? first the phone call, then the tweets, but what about megyn kelly? cnn talks to trump this morning. plus, a state of emergency in colorado after this river turns a ghastly orange. is drinking water at risk? let's talk. live in the cnn "newsroom." >> and good morning, i'm carol castello, donald trump heads to michigan today for his first public appearance since the republican debate that sparked controversy for his comments on and off the stage. as you well know, trump went on a tirade against debate moderator megyn kelly, but he tells cnn chris cuomo that after speaking with the fox ceo, all is forgiven. >> what i said was obvious, there was nothing wrong, unless you're a deviant, you don't put those words in.
with it. >> was part of the deal that megyn kelly wouldn't go on her show and attack you and keep it going? >> we didn't discuss that. it's not about megyn kelly. >> she didn't come up at all? >> it's not about that. there was a misinterpretation of what i said. unless you're a deviant you don't put words in. a couple of people tried to make a big issue out of it. that's not it. roger has done an amazing job at fox. he called me and i have no problem. >> roger ails himself released a statement, quote, i assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness and balance. we had a blunt but cordial conversation but the air has been cleared. not one question about megyn kelly and the blood from wherever comment. although kelly did address the matter briefly last night.
