you can put it like that, calling the chief of staff a paranoid schizophrenic, and of the terms —— sca schizophrenic, and of the terms —— scaramouche cheat. paranoid schizophrenic, and of the terms -- scaramouche cheat. he had slightly worse comments about steve bannen! he has become the story. it means the focus of what he might have been doing is going to turn on him. part of the trade means you never become the story, you are meant to be the one who covers up or gives what you believe is the definitive line. now you have a situation where the communications director is the story. we should explain the context, he phoned a reporter presumably thinking this wasn't going to get out but... that is slightly naive. he's not a very good communications director if he didn't know that when you phone a reporter as the white house communications director it will get out. what is a journalist meant to do? it is very naive and i don't know if it shows he is up to the job. what can they do? he can't be fired or else it would be donald trump admitting he made a big mistake appointing him in the fi

the president of the president and scaramucci the president of the president and sca ramucci seems toe president and scaramucci seems to want to plan to let the president be the president and not change how he operates. as we have seen in the last six months of the administration, the first six months, the president can get himself in trouble a lot with what he tweets and what he does. that is more of the issue than the who is holding some of the senior communications roles. anthony scaramucci had a few problems with his mike, it was a rather garbled announcement that sera sanders is taking over from sean announcement that sera sanders is taking overfrom sean spicer. 0nce she have the poisoned challenge, the difficult message of selling the message rather than anthony scaramucci? scaramucci will do a lot of television. he will be appearing on cnn and msnbc, talking with reporters every day, that is what trump wants him to do. he will get tough questions. sera sanders also has that difficult job tough questions. sera sanders also has that difficultjob of representing the president's me

let's take a look at storm sca scan3. we do have all in all a relati relatively clearing sky back further to the west so starting to see a little bit of sunshine break through the cloud cover in places like berks county i'll show i was picture in second. otherwise there is system starting to get its act together. we're going to see warm front lift an area of low pressure riding along it into friday specifically. but open tomorrow we actually sit in severe weather threat we'll need to keep an eye on this throughout the course of our thursday for slight risk of 74 weather here. and it look like anything that would pop up would be localized very scattered in nature but it could still produce locally gusty thunderstorm so we'll need to keep an eye on the radar i think that friday is the day where we start to see thing go substantially downhill in the p.m. hours i'll start things off at 6am and friday. take look. also important to note this is a model this is not gospel things could change with the timing look what happens her

actually start it off with just a snapshot view as we make tri-state sweep over storm sca m scan3. what you'll notice the steady yesterday rain is falling at least in our local area across southern new jersey and parts of sussex county in delaware. now this is where we've seen the brunt thus far down through the southern delmarva peninsula terms of our local area any way. heavy thunderstorms you'll notice, too, southern delmarva peninsula down through southwestern most or southeastern in fact most maryland really heavy thunderstorms having rumbled through that. this has been disturbance responsible for multiple inches worth of accumulating rain especially across places like prince william county out near the dc/baltimore area. so we're right on the cusp that means some of you are going to get hit with locally steady heavy rain and some of you are going to get showers out of this. currently temperatures are in the mid 70s. they won't climb much higher than this and again i'd keep the um kell bra handy the rest of the day. more rain in the forecast i'll let you know when that is here
