so this controversy that's only been stirred by sara huckabee sanders from the podium, it just makes it worse. i think alexi hit the nail on the head. the optics of this are terrible. i think it is important to distinguish, however, that sara sanders did not ask for the resignation but suggested that what this woman said on espn would constitute a fireable offense. i think that's an important distinction, that she's not actually making a recommendation. but even to wade into this is not good for a white house press secretary to be doing in the first place. >> i want to talk about president trump's talks with democratic leaders on daca. your colleague jonathan swan had this fascinating report yesterday titled "trump's new world," in which he says, for the first time in his presidency, he's enjoying positive media coverage and reinforcement from his top aides. any other takeaways from this collaboration? >> yeah, i mean, i think at first when trump was making these deals with democrats, it was a little bit surprising. but then when you step back and consider trump changed his party aff
