discuss with symone sanders and kayleigh mcenany, jonathan ssa eveny and paris dennard. od evening to all of you. i think symone and kayleigh called each other. >> we coordinated. >> we've heard the reports about infighting at trump white house but today they dismissed that talk. take a look. >> we share an office suite together, basically together from 6:30 in the morning until about 11:00 at night. >> i have a little thing called war room. he has a fireplace with nice sofas. >> and i consider him -- secondly, a very dear friend and someone that i work with every second of the day. and actually cherish his friendship. >> thing i respect most and only way this thing works is reince is always steady. his job by far one of the toughest i've ever seen in my life. >> should they take this on the road? did you think it with as genuine? >> i did. look they were honest. said you heard reince say we're very different people and they were real about that. but i think at end of the day what is going on with them is that you resent the fact that this other person is pushing against
