Why Isn't Sarah Huckabee Sanders On Camera? | Morning Joe

>>> DO YOU VIEW RUSSIA AS AN ALLY?
DOES THE PRESIDENT TRUST PRESIDENT PUTIN?
>> I HAVEN'T ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION.
>> DO THEY SEE RUSSIA AS FRIEND OR FOE?
>> I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO ASK THAT QUESTION.
>> DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER ON THAT QUESTION?
>> I DON'T BUT I'LL GET THAT ANSWER TO YOU.
>> THREE STRAIGHT DAYS OF COMMENTS BY DEPUTY WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARY SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS.
THEY DON'T ALLOW HER TO GO ON CAMERA?
>> WHAT IS IT, THE SEVEN STAGES OF GRIEF?
I'M GOING THROUGH DIFFERENT STAGES OF LOOKING AT WHITE HOUSE
PRESS SECRETARIES. THE FIRST IS BEING INCREDULOUS,
THE SECOND IS BEING INSULTED, THE THIRD IS BEING ANGRY.
YOU GET TO THE SEVENTH AND YOU JUST FEEL SORRY FOR THEM, GLEN.
I'M TALKING ABOUT MYSELF. IT'S JUST THE IMPOSSIBLE JOB.
>> WHY WON'T THEY LET HER GO ON CAMERA?
>> REMEMBER THE UNKNOWN COME --
COMIC FROM THE 70s? ONE OF THE DAYS WE'LL WALK IN
AND THEY'LL HAVE A BAG OVER THEIR HEAD.
I'M TOLD THAT THE DAILY DECISION EVERY DAY TO HAVE IT OFF CAMERA
IS BECAUSE TRUMP HIMSELF IS MAKING THIS DECISION.
HE DOESN'T WANT PEOPLE ON AIR DEFENDING HIM BECAUSE HE THINKS
HE'S THE ONE WHO CAN BEST HANDLE THEM.
WE SPEND ALL THIS TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW SEAN HANNITY IS
TELLING TRUMP TO SHUT DOWN THE BRIEFINGS, THEY'RE THINKING OF
MOVING US ACROSS THE STREET, MAYBE INTO A STARBUCKS.
>> THAT WOULD BE GOOD. >> HE HAS JAY SEKULOW, HE HAS
KELLYANNE HOLDING UP LITTLE PICTURES.
WHY WON'T HE LET THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY GO ON CAMERA?
>> THIS DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO IMPART.
>> WHY WOULD THEY HAVE A BRIEFING THEN?
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK REPORTERS ARE WAITING
FOR A BRIEFING TO UNEXPECTEDLY BREAK OUT ONE OF THESE DAYS.
>> SO HAS THERE BEEN ANY TALK AMONG THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
CORPS TO STOP ATTENDING THE BRIEFINGS?
>> YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I DON'T THINK BRIEFLY.
WE ARE BOUND BY THE DICTATES OF OUR INSTITUTIONS AND BY --
>> YOU'VE GOT TO BE THERE IN CASE NEWS DOES BREAK.
>> THE BIGGEST AM OF IT HATE IS WHY WE DON'T RECORD THIS.
I AM LESS ALARMED BY THE VIDEO ASPECT OF THIS THAN THE FACT
THAT, AS YOU SAID, WE HAVE THREE STRAIGHT DAYS SHE'S NOT
ANSWERING QUESTIONS. >> I'M LESS ALARMED BY THE VIDEO
ASPECT OF IT, TOO. OBVIOUSLY THE TV NETWORKS WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE THE PICTURES BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S ABOUT THE
INFORMATION. NOBODY'S GETTING INFORMATION
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW AND YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE -- A
LOT OF IT HAS TO DO AND THEY KNOW THEY'LL BE PROVEN TO BE
LIARS. >> AND HE WOULD DEFEND THE
PRESIDENT UNEQUIVOCALLY IN THE MOST EXTREME LANGUAGE.
OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLING OF MONTHS WHEN HE WAS
STILL DOING THAT JOB, HE WAS SAYING A LOT OF TIMES HE SARAH
WALSH WILL SAY I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET.
IT'S RACE. >> IT'S NOT LIKE THIS NEVER
HAPPENED IN PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS BUT THE DEGREE
TO WHICH IT HAPPENS AS A RULE AND NOT THE EXCEPTION MAX PA
MOCKERY OF WHAT THE DALY EVENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT.
THE GOVERNORS. >> BUT WHAT HAS NOT HAD BEFORE
IS YOU HAVEN'T HAD A PRESS SECRETARY GO OUT, SAY SOMETHING
BE CONTRADICTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THEN
NOTHING HAPPEN. IF THAT HAPPENED IN PREVIOUS
WHITE HOUSES, AND IT HAD AND PEOPLE WOULD TURN TO THE
PRESIDENT AND SAY DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
>> HE COMES IN AND TAUBES ABOUT HOW GREAT THE PARTNERSHIP IS
AND. >> YOU WONDER WHAT THE THRESHOLD
IS FOR THESE PEOPLE TO GO OUT AND DO THIS.
BUT WHAT THE TRUMP PEOPLE DON'T QUITE SEE, WHICH I WISH THEY
DID, IT BENEFITS THEM TO HAVE A MORE OPEN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
PRESS. >> ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
>> WHY IT FORCED HIM TO THINK ABOUT THINGS INTROSPECTIVELY.
>> WHAT IF THEY HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT HE TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING
BUT AND THEN THEY SHUT IT DOWN IN AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S
BENEFITS -- >> IF YOU WANT TO BE A 38%
PRESIDENT, THIS IS FINE. >> THIS IS PRESIDENT BANNON'S
38% PLAN IS WORKING MASTERFULLY. I WILL SAY, THOUGH, HERE'S A
PROBLEM WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
LET'S SAY, OKAY, SOMEBODY WALKS IN, THE NEW CHIEF OF STAFF SAYS
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PRESS BRIEFINGS TODAY, MR. PRESIDENT,
WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND JUST ANSWER EVERY QUESTION UNTIL THE
FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" STORY ABOUT
MONEY AND CONTACTS WITH THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, EVEN BEFORE
THE CAMPAIGN STARTED. EVEN MORE TROUBLING, THEY WOULD
HAVE TO ANSWER 100 QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS McCLATCHY STORY THAT
MARK HALL PRINCIPLE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR SOME
TIME THE FBI, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, MUELLER NOW
INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE LINKS BETWEEN JARED KUSHNER AND DONALD
TRUMP'S DIGITAL OPERATION AND THE RUSSIANS.
>> IT'S AN AMAZING STORY. I SHOULD GIVE A OUT HOW -- THAT
A LOT OF AMERICANS AREN'T AT ALLSHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE
BECAUSE SHE'LL THEN HAVE TO TAUB
TOSS SEQUENCE IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
THE FOCUS IS NOT ON US. THE FOCUS IS ON DONALD TRUMP.
THEY HAVE DONALD TRUMP AS THEIR CLIENT.
DONALD TRUMP SPINS THE PRESS SECRETARY AROUND AND AND WHAT
THEY'VE CHOSEN TO DO IS NOT DO IT.
>> AND THAT STARTED DAY ONE. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SEAN
SPICER. SPICER WAS YELLED AT ON THE
FIRST DAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SCREAMING FOR HIM TO GET OUT AND
GIVE THE BRIEFING ONN THE CROWD SIZES AND AFTERWARDS SOMEBODY IN
THE ADMINISTRATION TOLD ME SAYING YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HOW
BAD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HE BET AK IN IT FOLLOWS UP.
IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE JOB, WHETHER SEAN SPICER OR SARAH HUCKABEE
SANDERS. >> IF TRUMP WANTS TO TALK TO THE
PRESS, HE DID AS BE PRKS I THINK MAYORS DO THAT.
YOU HAVE TWO TO THREE DAYS A WEEK WITH RUDY.
>> THINK ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THOUGH.
WE HAVE TO GO TO OFTEN HE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT HE SAYS AND IN
PRN -- IN HIS INTERVIEW WITH LESTER HOLT, HE GAVE FODDER TO
BOB MUELLER IN HIS TWEETS HE DOES THE SAME THING.
SO HIS LAWYERS HAVE TO BE TELLING HIM STOP TALKING.
LAST WEEK IT WAS STOP TWEETING. NOW THE LAWYERS HAVE TO SAY STOP
TALKING. >> ALEX HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO
YOU. STOP
