afternoon of four here in moscow might have called him on the team to this world update this hour just when you think you know who's who in the white house there's been another major shake up in donald trump's top team this time he's pushed out his chief of staff friends the president announce the move on twitter as if he's wanted the song instead the current secretary of homeland security who's john kelly priebus is the latest in a string of high profile officials as you'll know to head for the exits in the past six months a week ago of course it was the white house press secretary sean spicer who left his position rather abruptly didn't come as a complete surprise to many of those because he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however it was the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may that did come as a big shock especially to him one of the reasons that for that decision was the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary clinton using a private e-mail server while secretary of state before that it was his national

security adviser michael flynn forced to resign over contacts with russia. looks at how the relationships in the white house are starting to resemble one particular t.v. series. between senate investigations and twitter wars the current u.s. presidency it hasn't barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we are strongest when we're unified. this is a bunch of scumbags. president was being small president it's not presidential at all. this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president or have they tried i mean every single thing but i'm. here. when i'm finished i think they will absolutely. lately the bipartisan tug of war has shifted

to being on the lines of the enemy of my enemy is my friend take attorney general jeff sessions not long ago he was considered want to trump most trusted allies whereas democrats were less than impressed he's a man of integrity a man of principle and a man of total utter resolve because the department of justice should be above reproach for the good of the country attorney general sessions should resign in just a couple of months trying fluffer sessions has turned sour and lo and behold senator chuck schumer is suddenly coming to his defense i am disappointed in the attorney general he should not have recused himself even if the president has disagreements with him which i think are real found self-centered. and wrong. you don't ridicule him in public apparently there's a thin line between love and hate and that line is basically just a few mean tweet and it works the opposite way as well let's look at former f.b.i.
9:04 am
director james comey when he spoke out on the hillary clinton investigation praised his valor while the democrats were far from fleet it took guts for director coming to make the move that he made it light of the kind of opposition he had. the f.b.i. director has no credibility oh how the times have changed since he's a showboat he's a grandstander the f.b.i. has been in turmoil you know that i know that the reason that tony was fired was because donald trump wants to cut off any investigation and it's not just politicians who are easily swayed the media follows the changing tide as well george w. bush was rammed by the press and seen as one of the worst american presidents toward the end of his time in office he leaves office the most unpopular president in modern history this president performed so poorly we have a president to transcend at least stupid he is the worst president of my lifetime
9:05 am
but a few well aimed comments in an interview turned him into a white house favorite i consider the media media to be indispensable to democracy we need an independent media to hold people like me to account it's very funny to a sense of humor is coming well he said oh well respected mr president we want to thank you. even former white house press secretary sean spicer who was one of the media's favorite punching bags for some time is now feeling the love following his resignation rumor has it he may even become a reality t.v. star the political positions are breathtakingly incoherent their scripts are frantic with all due apologies to what is trump's saying we were against it it's like that groucho marx songs is whatever you're for i'm against it it just depends because this isn't about platform. it's not about conviction it's not about ideology it's about personality we have two parties in this country dram and.

9:13 am
still remains on knowing that there is no clarification on that as of yet we do know though is exactly what he did he went into this store he took a kitchen knife from one of the displays in the supermarket opened it from its parking packaging and then attacked people who were there not attack led to a fifty year old man suffering injuries from which he died the fact that this suspect was known to police was known to authorities as having connections to radical islamic groups is certainly going to raise questions if we cast our minds back to the end of last year and the horrific terrorist attack that took place in berlin whereby a truck was driven into a christmas market that perpetrator was also known to police as well so questions are going to be raised over just what it means to be on one of these watch lists do you know that the main suspect the person that was arrested at the scene is

9:16 am
their own candidates and they can participate in it but they have called to boycott it instead of taking part and if they have the majority as a state they do pick it easily run with a majority of constituents and change the constitution how they want to see a change instead of opposed a democratic process and called for violence in the streets of the response this is not of them. just not to try and do the demise of a little. and it. has been uncovered saying that they want to determine the outcome of the political process in venezuela they have long been funding to the tune of new orleans and millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollars to opposition parties to opposition movement no one wants us intervention even people members of the opposition that i spoke to do not want the us to intervene this is precisely they were. going to what you're going to eventually is that only the united states now makes it go announce that the united kingdom the parliament why. last summer than twelve days.
