tweeting out a series of very cryptic posts thursday night and that led to more talk about what exactly the relationship may or may not have been between jason miller and aj delegate on. a political is reporting tonightog that there was a relationship between these two and that relationship ultimately lead ini their reporting to aj delegator leading to the decision by jason miller not to accept this postot as the white house communications director. this is a big shift because you know for the lent and bread of e the trump campaign miller was ml one of the public faces of the trump campaign. diving out in to the media every time donald trump himself wassef embroiled in one of his own controversies, he so to lose a voice like his somebody who was really been through the battle zone with donald trump right before he stands behind us here in about less than a month nowth and

president of the united states,t thishe is a key member. >> owe, sure. > of that keep. >> losing jason miller is no small thing.l right out of the gait, seanit, spicer who is going to be the press secretary is going to be doing double duty. jason miller fitz in the kelly conway camp in working for the campaign early on. sean spicer we've seen him quite active on cable news over thehe past couple weeks as he seguedud into that press secretary job. another thing that is coming up, fitz, is that donald trump had some things to say about the united patience? >> yeah, he doesn't like the you nations too much.o a lot of this started with thath vote last week. that vote that really rocked a lot of people around the world, the fact that the united states did not use its veto to stop an anti israel vote in the un.n. no

blunt things to say about the united nations. tonight now calling them some sort of club. john bolt online shopping who was remember, the un ambassadora during george w bushes tenor was only the united nations ambassador because george w bush had to reappoint him because he could not get him through the chemically controlled senate. what had to happen was this, john bottle online shopping evep though he was not really nameday to the top security post and the foreign policy post still holdss a lot of sway. the things he says still hold a lot of weight especially inin trump circles. >> this is the kind of john bottle online shopping has been saying forsh a very long time n, that the united states needs toe startd looking at a different relationship with the unitedn nations and whether or not that relationship has gone up up to this point is in the interest of united, whether or not it's located in new york city or

have been analyzing of whether things areof in the best interes of the united states. > thank you so much. > well, another one of donaldld trump's big campaign proms was c toa repeal and replace obamacar. now there are some new options that people are operating out of the afford care program. the tax pebble take you rathertr than bought health insurance. while millions of people haveav gained coverage through the affordable care act an estimated 28 million americans remain uninsured because they feel like it's easier to pay the penalty than the massive amount they have to pay month to month. mon the numbers came out a little about it ago about the massive hikes in premiums. the government was quick to sayo a lot of you can get subsidies. people are saying i don't want to be part of that. i don't want the government to force me to pay it.

for. it's going to stick around for another year. a dispute brewing over a hypothetical election between president obama and donaldobam trump. h is something that is purelyuyc hypothetical, ain't going to happen. but still got a lot of people ticked off. >> as always. a recent cnn pod cast. president obama said if he ran again he would win over a majority of votes.f take a listen. i'm confident if i had run again and articulated i think i could have mobilized a majority of the american people to rally behind it.it of course donald trump disagreed. he sounded off on twitter saying president obama's record would have prevented him from securinr aom victory. he cited the loss of us jobs, the affordable care act and thec growth of isis.is. the white house declined to d comment on trump's tweet.we we're already getting a bunch of tweets from you and a the lot ot people are commenting. but ronica cleary is out and about getting the pulse of the people.

have to say as you're attaches at friend ship heights. >>reporter: frien the 22nd amendment would stop this scenario from ever happening but i'm here at chad's.d's. we're going to start with thehe bartender who apparently knows a handful of people from fox5. we won't name names.t do you think president obamama would win a third name if themei opportunity presented itself.ite >> i'll tell you what, i couldcl cancel my plans to leave town oo the 20th if that were the case. > where are you going in you're everyone's favorite bartender.td >> i'm going to take the week off and come back in time for monday. > let's check in. in. we've got some other people. you said you're from out ofut o town. >> yes. > what are your names. >> i am bob and vanessa.ane > what do you think? could he win a third term. >> i don't think so, but he hade to do is wait because his wife h is going to run in four years. e > you think michelle reallyea going to do

>> absolutely. > i don't think so. i believe her when she said she's not into politics.ti >> what do you think? i thinkik all americans they have to get used to the changes. we have to get used to what'swht going to happen and get comfortable with the changes.chn let's talk about these hypotheticals, we have to embrace the future, the next four years. is that what you're saying. >> absolutely. we have to wait for four years and if nothing is going to happen, then i'm sure michelle will run for president or someone else. or maybe me. so we have two endorsements for michelle obama for president. let's take you down here. we have a couple more people atp the bar. sorry, that got a little bit close. so what are your names? >> robert.>> r mccall. tell me, what do you think,thin third term for president obama. >> i thought about this a littls bit. while president obama is extremely popular in d.c., i personally love the

i think he's gonna lot of greata things, but i think with his last election we've really seeny kind of a new movement he emergency, which i think is kind of an industrial, rule movementa a group ol,f people who feel tht maybe that their voices weren'ts heard. i know we've heard a lot aboutlo this on tr, but the issue of manufacturing capabilities, going offshore, i think trump was really the only person whops rile honed in on that message. important that reason event th though the obamas are incredibly likeable and i think are very competent, i don't think thatha they'd ultimately succeed. > really quickly, yes or no, do you think he could win. >> i think he could. h i think that the people did notd come out to vote for hillary would come out to vote for him. so while that is a strong case i think other people would come out to vote, support them. s > thank you so much formuch weighing in.we >> there you have, the pulse ofe the people at chad's
