bill white house is from the british cave rescu e bill white house is from the british cave rescue councilation from here in the uk. what more can you tell us, and what war have you been hearing from collea g u es have you been hearing from colleagues on the ground? —— what more have you been. we are having problems with those lines. back to the live pictures from the scene. it is getting incredibly dark there. our correspondent on the ground said it was getting very dark but the operation continues as they try to rescue more boys coming out of the caves. reuters have confirmed a local report saying two of the boys have come out. we don't have further information. let's try and return to bill. let's carry on bringing you those like pictures, we haven't got him. visibility is very difficult, there. let's bring you up to speed. as to what that thai mission has started to rescue those 12 boys and their football coach. it started at ten o'clock on sunday. they were trapped by monsoon floods in the north of thailand. i believe we have got bill again. i was asking whether you not heard from your

you know, brian, it's outrageous what the white house did. billhite house chief of staff, happy to report that breathbet baier, a news anchor just tweeted, as a member of the white house press pool, fox newsstands firmly with cnn on this issue and the issue of access. it is outrageous, what they did to kaitlan. >> and this is a rare day, because of the solidarity we're seeing from other networks, wolf. you're absolutely right about that point about fox. the network has also just issued a statement that's been sent to me. very similar to bair's comment. the reason fox is saying, they're a part of the press pool just like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, all the networks take turns as the one reporter who's going to be in the room when the president has meetings. it just happened to be kaitlan's day today. it could have been any reporter. and i think that's why we're seeing solidarity across the press corps. this is another escalation by a white house that looks really weak. this is not a behavior of a confident white house. this is the behavior of a white house

bill shine over the years. one of the cool heads of the network who helped keep the ship level. in context of a trump white house, tumultuous, president very up and down, we all know tv networks, cool heads keep a steady ship. that is an effect that bill shine had at fox news internally. with very dynamic and very up and down personalities between the talent and executives. probably playing a good role there. however there are real questions if you're concerned about the attitude towards women institutionalized and accepted at fox news, should have the same questions about the way the white house is going to work. totally fair game but i think should be separate from any comments a private citizen made married to her. >> why darla shine reportedly retweeted attack on carlson, then deleted it. carlson responded to it. her husband left fox she jumped in to defend him. took it upon herself to do that, is that not relevant? >> darla? you're talking about? >> yeah. >> i would hope she would defend her husband. knows him well. i know bill shine as professional, very good person. i was not at fox, never employed there.

president wooed him into joining the white house. bill shine does not -- as we were talking briefly, he does not have experience dealing with the press which is going to be part of his brief here at the white house. he was a programming executive. he was roger ailes' right hand man, and he is going to be responsible for broadcasting the white house's message and dealing with the national media. that is clearly not part of his background, but donald trump felt because he has that connection with the right wing fox audience, clearly he knows how to get that message out there. >> there is some public scrutiny at him after the tweets his wife allegedly sent out. in and around the sexual harassment scandals at white house. it seems clear this white house didn't care about that. >> clearly not. i think of it almost as an act of trolling. bill shine was too toxic for fox news. he was forced out in the wake of roger ailes' sexual harassment scandal. because of these questions swirling around his involvement. he was known as roger ailes' enabler.

welfare fraud, not welfare reform. >> despite the break in their own ranks over this welfare bill, white househat when the choice comes down to bill clinton or bob dole, the fellow democrats don't have anywhere else to go. >> what clinton did to steal away issues from the republicans actually worked. >> president clinton has won a second term as president of the united states. >> can you imagine what this must feel like, particularly when you think how far down mr. clinton seemed to be just two years ago, for him to ascend to this pinnacle again is the act of truly a master politician. >> bill clinton is christened the comeback kid because he was resilient. no matter what doubts you had about him, no matter what charges you laid against him, every day he walks into the white house and with a laser focus he says, let's focus on getting the job done. >> it is time to put politics aside, join together and get the job done for america's future.

joining us by phone is bill white house, the vice chairman of the british cave rescue council.d the rescue efforts under way in thailand. thanks for joining us, we've seen new pictures over the last 12 hours of divers reaching those children, some appear to have smiles on their face which is a wonderful sight to see, i wonder if you've heard anything new from the people on the ground there? >> nothing new i'm afraid but i've been listening to your correspondents talking about the possibility of diving the children out using full face masks, certainly they would have to use full face masks. expecting them to dive in normal equipment with a gag in their mouth wouldn't be an option. it's lost of risks and difficulties but ultimately it might be the only thing they can do. there's talking about getting down via chimneys and into the cave, that is always a possibility and i know a lot of effort has been put into finding other engines into the cave which has one known entrance at the moment. the problem is this cave goes under quite a mountain as i understand it. even if you find som

. >> joining us is bill white house, a vice chairman of the british rescue team that located the childrenthat cave. bill, thanks so much for joining us. the breaking news is there could be an attempt as soon as tonight to get those children and their coach out of that cave. they reached just yesterday. now they may try to get them out. is that surprising to you based on what you heard from your divers? >> no. there are conflicting issues here. there are big risks in accomplishing them out. they're obviously intending to dive them out in some form. the big problem is if the weather breaks and the water comes up and diving conditions revert to what they were like last week, it might make diving impossible with zero visibility, fast currents, and much longer dives. so there is a launch window to do something before it starts raining again. they're in monsoon season. once it starts raining again, the caves could become seriously flooded for months. that's why they were obviously thinking about earlier of getting in supplies for several months. to get them out, i don't know how they'll do it.

how former fox news exec bill shine is changing the white house. >>> and reunification delay. why many families separated at the border may be spending even more time apart. this is "mtp daily" and it starts right now. >>> good evening, i'm chuck todd here in washington. welcome to "mtp daily." we begin tonight with a simple

let's bring in bill white house. he has rescuers on the ground there and joining us now, let's start by what your crews telling you about the challenges of pulling such an extensive rescue operation off. the weather, the caves they'll have to traverse, and the sec nick cal -- technical challenges of the dives that they'll face. >> what's started out is an extremely difficult and dangerous operation not only for the boys of course but for the divers under taking it as well. we know that from the tragedy the other day with the thai navy seal who died in operations going in there. obviously there's -- it's a long stretch of passage over a couple of kilometers where many areas are completely flood but with some areas above water. now we have no detail knowledge of the dive plan, but clearly we've been thinking about it and talking with the people over there so we know a broad range of options as to what -- how things might be done. but we don't know exactly how it is being done. clearly there are -- there are 13 to get o

with bill shine going into the white house. has there ever been any equivalent of that kind of a relationship between a white house and any form of media? >> not really. you know, andrew jackson, for instance, would have a very friendly newspaper that would say a lot of the things that he wanted to say, but one newspaper did not have the kind of power that a tv network like fox news does now. so, this is something that we have not seen before. >> yeah, and i wonder if it's amplified more because you have sinclair broadcast network that is taking that strategy out to the local news. in a way, has nixon's dream been super fulfill? because fox is just one media network that is carrying that unified message. >> this is exactly what nixon dreamt of. and we could see a situation where the president is able to get a lot more things done and is able to survive challenges and criticism and opposition by, you know, the opposition party, in a way that nixon was never able to do, so -- in a way, richard nixon has won. >> yeah, and i have t

notjust the thai navy but rescue teams from the us, britain, japan, and we can't talk now to bill white househe uk. what can you tell us about the british effort to help? we sent three cave divers over last week to help, as your correspondent said they arrived last wednesday and went straight into the cave. u nfortu nately, straight into the cave. unfortunately, about when they arrived it was raining heavily and conditions got worse and worse, so not a lot of diving has been possible until the last couple of days when the weather cleared and the water receded to an extent and the water receded to an extent and the water receded to an extent and the water currents will have receded and also the visibility improved, so diving started yesterday against and a number of dives were working their way forward and two of the british tea m way forward and two of the british team have been taking the lead and diving through the flooded passengers and laying a guideline for others. then today, as we had hoped, they managed to break through and find the party and still alive, which is fantastic news. what

. >> and i also want to look at new in the white house bill shine has joined as the white house deputyef of staff for communications despite the accusations that he mishandled sexual harassment allegations at fox news. so from a pr perspective, how do you make sense of all of this? >> you don't. bill shine was head of one of the most corrupt cultures at fox news. he was let go because of that under roger ailes. and so i guess he has tremendous experience with a dysfunctional corrupt culture which he will probably find at the u.s., so maybe he will have experience with that, but he doesn't have experience of being a communications director for a political campaign and certainly not a president. so look, everything donald trump seems to touch just seems to, you know, i don't want to use a bad term here, go to you know where. but bill shine joining this -- remember he was firednd n ad ane will have a good job. so maybe some chance of reach determi redemption, but my hopes are pretty low. >> and i want to the turns a rising around family reunifications. ment federal judge has ordered all c

bill shine is going to have significant influence in large part because this is the fox news administration, not just the white house. the resulting political success to what they have been seen to people like bill shine. additionally, other cabinet agencies, top deputy of steve mnuchin. we are told bill shine personally recruited him to fox news. shine is going to find lots of people in the white house who owe him something and supportive of him. close friends of sean hannity. hannity was very supportive. he is not going to be just communication adviser, but key people like scott pruitt ends up being fired or resigning voluntarily. most of the coverage of fox was around ailes. and is going to be under tremendous amount of scrutiny and have to get his clearance, i mean he has never had to face this level of scrutiny before i would imagine. >> no. he always had roger ailes. but the one thing that i would point out is able to do his job and be an implementer. and that is what he is, an effective deputy. he is not going to do the kinds of stupid things that pruitt did that makes him headlines. one thing that under scor

let's talk about the importance in your view of bill shine going from fox news to the white house. it really shows the sconnection. i think one thing people need to know about bill shine is that he was shaped and molded by roger ailes from the beginning. he started in local news and he basically spent his career being shaped and tutored by roger ailes. he will bring all that thinking about how to set a narrative and push right wing talking points from the day to the nighttime to the white house. >> so fox news already has a perfect simbiosis with the white house. what difference will it make to have a former executive in the west wing? >> i think what trump is trying to do, he's trying to bring some discipline. the most undisciplined person is the president himself. he is trying to stick to set talking points and push throughout the day. there hasn't been a cohesive message. the president will suite things that goes against it. i think what is sort of striking about this hire is that it shows the disregard that trump has for any kind of norms and standards. bill was involved in some

anyone has any questions they're about to have a chance to ask him. >> bill: peter doocy leading our coverage from the white house. thank you. >> sandra: we also have breaking news out of capitol hill this morning where the house is getting ready to vote on a resolution to support ice after a growing number of

bill seale's wonderful book "the president's house." i can't remember how you put it, bill, but you talk about what the white house used to be like in the 19th century as being kind of a ramshackle, lived-in, intimate home where things were changing constantly. you knew people lived there and pets jumped up on the soef athere was hair everywhere, things that changed and now it's become something different. now in some ways in the process of preservation, something is walled off from us. i would like to see a balance of the wonderful work that lydia and her team do. this has been going on for so long. the preservation with a little bit more of the lived in feeling. a little bit more of the domestic feeling in the house. >> merlo, looking forward -- >> yeah, looking forward, i suppose taking up on ed's game of change, i imagine that, again, that ability to facilitate change, a few people have mentioned is critical to its survival. and i think that in terms of conservation and conservation practice, things are getting more and more sophisticated. and i think that's going to help. i would imagine that the building 100 years from now could b

shine join it s the white house. >> bill shine to become white house communications director. if that's true, i think it would be great because he's great at his job and he's one of the smartest people i have ever known and one of the nicest people i have ever known. as far as what i know about it, if i did know anything, it is none of your business anyway. >> none of your business. i am joined by eugene washington, prison winning writer for the washington post as well as an msnbc analyst. jennifer rubin and david k. johnson and the author of "it's even worse than you think, what the trump administration is going to america." on the staffing, what does it mean to you that pruitt was finally ousted and bill shine is on his way in? >> let's start with bill shine. if he's the nicest guy that shawn hannity knows, i'd like to take a poll of the women at fox. this in the middle of a me too movement which he mocked, by the way, in his rally today is the infuriated behavior that has women fleeing the republican party. you see that ever widening gender gap. i think part of the motivati

he's the white house deputy chief of staff for communications. billne, full disclosure, is my personal friend. he was a producer, senior executive in this network and in that capacity, he was my boss. he said he took issue with the white house banning collins. >> did you ban her? what would you say, bill? what world would you use? >> when you asked her if we used the word ban, then i -- you asked her -- focus now. you asked her if we ever used the word ban. >> shepard: focusing. this is a difference without a distinction. collins report shine and the press secretary sarah sanders disinvited her from a rose garden event. kellyanne conway shows the whole thing the media needs to change its approach. >> that incident aside, i'm speaking more broadly, civility that you call for sometimes in your broadcast, should start here at the white house and show more respect. >> civility. cnn maintains the correspondence association agrees and we at fox news observed that collins was civil. that she asked relevant and timely questions of a president that often answe

[ overlapping talking ]. >> he was unhirable anywhere else. he was toxic. too toxic for fox news. >> never too toxic for the white housee playing 3-d chess is a fantasy. the only strategy of the white house is they react to trump's pathological lying on a daily basis. again, the communications job is a joke. trump is the communications director. again, i think they're sort of girding for this -- >> that was shine's role at fox. he would sit in the office and sort of chortle along. he was the yes man to ails. now he will be the yes man to donald trump. >> tiffany, then, the strategy on the other side. the communication against that, if you had seamless communication between fox and the white house, it's sort of one singular operation, i wonder if on the other side, if the democrats have sort of started to think about programmatically on the hill, what is their response to that? >> i would challenge democrats to do better. you have a faction of the party who tries hard to walk the middle of the road and appeal to the -- talk to the people who are open and willing to receive your message. it's really a disservice to the f

bill shine. he just joined the ranks of the white house a few weeks ago.s he rising so quickly as president trump's closest advisers? >> in one respect he came in with the authority in support of the president. they have been talking for a long time. he was effectively an outside adviser. since he has been inside the west wing he is at the president's side repeatedly. coming back from the helsinki summit it was bill shine talking about a strategy for how to fix this. john kelly was off to the side. >> bring back my experts now. we should point out that bill shine was one of the two people leading the charge to ban cnn's kaitlan collins from doing her job as a reporter covering the rose garden event yesterday because he and sarah huckabee sanders didn't like her questions. i would like to bring in anna on that. as a journalist i'm stunned that that would take place. you don't like the questions therefore you ban the pool reporter for the day from an event. >> i think there was a silver lining to the entire experience yesterday. we saw journalists from acros

he was even in the bill clinton white house. this is being seen as a sign of sort of cohen leaving the trump political orbit and going out on his own. there is really open warfare right now between the president and his former attorney. i think the biggest piece of news in the story, and there is a lot there, is about the tapes. cohen had -- or the government has seized more than 100 recordings of conversations that cohen had. lanny davis explained that cohen would record conversations as his way of taking notes. i don't know a lot of lawyers that do that, but he did, and he kept those recordings on his iphone and now the government has them. a lot of the recordings are actually conversations he had with reporters who were doing interviewing cohen for stories about trump during and after the campaign. >> ashley, trump advisors, what do they want do with this tape that cohen's lawyers have released? are they seeking any recourse? >> it's still sort of an open question, and even the tape on how to handle it. a couple things. one i
