. >> joining us now, democratic strategist adrian elrod, tim carney, former george h.w. bush aide and republican strategist joe watkins. joe, let's start with what has been said in the headline out of the interview this morning that is new. she is calling the president racist. you heard her reaction to being called low life as well as a dog. >> those are tough charges. omarosa has fired big shots at the president, at the white house, and they are hard charges because after all she was the president's top african-american advisor at the white house. somebody close to him for a long time. she has a 15-year history with him. these charges interest her are very, very serious. as long as the white house doesn't have any african-americans in senior positions in the inner circle of the white house, they are going to be exposed. these are very serious charges coming from omarosa manigault newman today. >> adrian, as we know, omarosa very serious charges, but also reversal from statements that she has made previous to these recent interviews. >> yeah. look, i think there is a lot

tim carney, commentator editor for "the washington examiner." also joining us as well. tim, thanks for your time. chuck, let's talk about both of these stories. we'll talk about sessions and we'll talk about this news as it relates to mr. pecker here. let's start with sessions because, again, you were there at the department of justice. how significant of a development is this? that you've got a senior senator suggesting that the president has decided that he is going to fire his attorney general? if the president does that, what then, chuck? >> well, it's significant, craig, no question. by the way, with respect to the attorney general's statement, you know, a cheap shot would be to say it's about time. i don't want to take a cheap shot. i just want to tell you, i'm glad to see that the attorney general did this. i'm glad to see he's standing up to the men and women of his department. i've been a part of that department for a very long time. i know these folks follow the rule of law and take that oath very seriously. so nice to see the attorney general weigh in on behal

tim carney, welcome back. this ways you do for a living. where do you start with the president's attacks on the press or their reaction to it which might backfire? >> i think it's sort of a dumb slur to say fake news enemy of the people, and these things coming from the president is worse. if you are saying about newspapers it can be dumb. it's the president who has the power, the i.r.s. at its finger tips. we don't like the government sticking their fingers where they don't belong and i don't like politicians sticking their opinions in things that aren't their business. but i don't like 300 newspapers coming together and singing the same hymn *. it ignores the fact that a lot of the major media acts in a way that they hate 40% of the country. they act with disdain toward a major portion of the country. kennedy: that's why what the president says resonates with those people. the "l.a. times" decided not to publish one of those editorials. they said they don't lean on anyone else for editorial direction and they don't expect other newspapers

joining me, rachel campos-duffy, tim carney is here and richard fowler. rachel, let me start with you. jeff sessions has a lot of friends and allies in the u.s. senate. if the president is trying to whip them against their old pal, there is a political risk? >> he already managed to change their opinions in some way. in the beginning they were, you cannot touch jeff sessions. lately you heard lindsey graham and others say maybe after the mid terms you can deal with it. they don't want him to do it before the mid-term elections. the democrats' number one issue on their agenda is to impeach donald trump. the last thing you want to do is hand the congress over to the democrats. i think ther there is an impetuo not do anything. but they have changed their minds about never never. guy: tim, what one of the details we were looking at was sessions' accent and he's not an ivy league guy. does that ring true? >> at first it doesn't ring true. and i have got to admit when it moved to washington, d.c., it took me a while to not have a southern accent grate on me. as

tim carney, editor for the washington examiner, and dana milbank.afort's lawyers saying they want this change of venue for the next trial, saying the president's tweets making things worse. do they have an argument, dana milbank? >> i suppose so. where are they going to go? i believe the president's 50 million twitter followers are located in places outside of the 202 area code. i mean, look, the guy has already had one trial, was found guilty on eight counts there. that is the same media market as this. of course, it's a national media market. i suspect there may be some jockeying going on right now, some maneuvering behind the scenes. it got a week delay yesterday. there may be attempts to buy more time here, potentially give manafort time to negotiate with prosecutors. >> tim, white house counsel desantis odon mcgahn out. the president tweeted white house counsel don mcgahn will be leaving his position in the fall, shortly after the confirmation of judge kavanaugh to the supreme court. we found out according to "the washington post" that mcgahn a

. >> sandra: for more on this let's bring in tim carney from "the washington examiner".eard? >> i don't think the president is helping himself by following his standard practice of counter punching. going after mueller, what will it look like when he says mueller is discredited and what will it look like if mueller comes out with no russia-related charges and no one against trump? but trump has been blasting him and discrediting him. he is acting like see a guilty man. i don't think because of that but it's trump's style. if you mess with him he'll try to punch you back twice as hard. does it help? at the moment it doesn't seem so. >> sandra: clearly his attorney, rudy giuliani, is making the case that a sit-down should not happen and here was his explanation why that's getting a lot of attention this morning and over the weekend about the truth not being the truth. watch this. >> when you tell me that, you know, he should testifying because he will tell the truth and he shouldn't worry, that's silly because it's somebody's version of the truth, not the truth. he didn't

joining us now is tim carney, commentator and editor at the "washington examiner."pectations here? >> if you look down in florida, you see some of the most interesting contested races down there in part because what you had to give adam putnam, the state agriculture commissioner running for the republican nomination and ron desantis a congressman also running for the republican nomination for governor. trump has come down and endorsed him. it is very interesting because in 2016, it was the trump wing of the party versus the conservative movement as embodied by ted cruz or marco rubio. he is combining both of those, very powerful political down in florida, he is fighting against big sugar trying to pin that on adam putnam. it's a simultaneously doing this drain the swamp fighting against special interest. opposing subsidies for big sugar. so they could be the future of the g.o.p. is bringing together the conservative movement. >> sandra: that will be one of the key races to watch here, fox news early this morning sounding very optimistic. >> we are poised to have a s
