Trump's Fox News show audition: |
| 
This morning, President Trump called into "Fox & Friends" for an interview lasting nearly an hour. http://bit.ly/2QJVl4a |
| |
| THE HIGHLIGHTS: |
| On Republicans losing the House majority: "If we lose the majority in the House, which is always a possibility, we will probably just have to fight it out, and it's a shame. It would be a shame because we'd be wasting a lot of time. But we'll just have to fight it out because there are a lot of haters and they're just absolute haters." http://bit.ly/2QLeAu9 On Jeff Sessions -- you know this can't be positive: Trump said if Attorney General Jeff Sessions tries to oppose criminal justice reform, "then he gets overruled by me." Trump added: "There has to be a reform because it's very unfair right now. It's very unfair to African-Americans. It's very unfair to everybody. And it's also very costly." http://bit.ly/2pPaoy6 On Devin Nunes: Trump praised House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) for his efforts to push back on the Russia investigation. "If this turns out as everyone thinks it will, Devin Nunes should get the Medal of Honor." Keep in mind: The Medal of Honor is awarded to military service members recognized for acts of valor during war. Later in the interview: Trump referenced the highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom. http://bit.ly/2EeHCAW
The last question for Trump: "Fox & Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt ended by asking Trump to wish her father a happy birthday. "Today is my father's birthday. I forgot to send him a present, I had it on the agenda. But if you wish him a happy birthday, that will be the best birthday present I will ever be able to get him." http://bit.ly/2IOkaJt Watch the back and forth: http://bit.ly/2ydenZA
How Fox News host Steve Doocy ended the interview: "Go run the country." http://bit.ly/2RIyw1N |

| LATEST WITH HURRICANE MICHAEL | |
Ugh, the damage so far looks to me more like a tornado than a hurricane: |
| Where Michael is headed: Northeast towards the Carolinas. It should head out to sea by Friday. The latest forecast: https://wxch.nl/2OUqTae Deaths: At least two people have been killed in the storm, including a child in Georgia. https://wxch.nl/2QJAyh8 Power outages: More than 900,000 homes and businesses don't have power. https://wxch.nl/2QJAyh8 |

| STORM FOOTAGE: |
| Yikes, this is the scariest video I've seen of the storm: Here's a house in Alabama as the storm surge rolls in. Watch: http://bit.ly/2OMzGen Wow, this photo of the hurricane's destruction at sunset: http://bit.ly/2A4Yx4Z
Aerial footage of Panama City, Fla., after the hurricane: It looks more like a tornado hit. Watch: http://bit.ly/2IQz3Lg Remember our dear friend, the flag livestream during Hurricane Florence?: It's back! Watch: http://bit.ly/2ycCCau This would be about the time I questioned my career choice: http://bit.ly/2RGukje |
| |
| THIS A.M. -- TRUMP DEFENDS HOLDING A CAMPAIGN RALLY DURING THE STORM: |
| "Trump defends decision to campaign in Pennsylvania amid destruction from Hurricane Michael in Florida, says he didn't want to disappoint 'thousands and thousands' of people in PA and claimed that in some cases, there were people waiting 'a day-and-a-half' just to enter the arena." http://bit.ly/2A5nIEx |

The things I would do to see President Trump wearing some Yeezys: |
| President Trump is having lunch with rapper Kanye West and football Hall of Famer Jim Brown at the White House today. Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner will also attend. What they will discuss: "[M]anufacturing resurgence in America, prison reform, how to prevent gang violence and what can be done to reduce violence in Chicago." https://cnn.it/2NB3Egp Details of the meeting: http://bit.ly/2ydLZqg Op-ed: http://bit.ly/2A42k28 |

The most fascinating story I've read in weeks: |
| New York Magazine's Olivia Nuzzi was working on a story about how White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has kept his job. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders asked Nuzzi to come back to the White House Tuesday, leading to as Nuzzi writes, "My Private Oval Office Press Conference With Donald Trump, Mike Pence, John Kelly, and Mike Pompeo." Read it -- trust me: https://nym.ag/2OTzKsH |

Just in case we don't have enough political disputes, let's start arguing over hypothetical ones: |
| Via The Hill's Jordain Carney, "Early lines of division are opening up among top Senate Republicans over a potential 2020 Supreme Court fight. Days after the Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the court, key GOP lawmakers are giving different answers over whether they'd fill a Supreme Court seat if there is an opening in 2020, the next presidential election year." How this could play out: http://bit.ly/2pPi2Zk |

If you like your stamp prices, you can keep them: |
| Via USA Today's Ashley May, the U.S. Postal Service is considering the biggest stamp price hike since 1991. The difference: From 50 cents to 55 cents for a stamp. Yeah, but: "USPS said the change would also reduce the additional ounce price of letters." Details: http://bit.ly/2pODzkw |
| |
ObamaCare premiums could drop: |
| Via The Hill's Nathaniel Weixel, "Average premiums for the most common "silver" level insurance plan sold under ObamaCare will fall 1.5 percent in 2019, according to the Trump administration, the first time rates have fallen since the law took effect. In contrast, average premiums for the same mid-level plans increased by 37 percent between 2017 and 2018 and by 25 percent between 2016 and 2017." http://bit.ly/2yfC2sC |

This is well done: |
| The New York Times published a feature, "What does life look like for girls turning 18 in 2018? We gave young women photographers around the world an assignment: Show us 18 in your community. This is 18 -- through girls' eyes." https://nyti.ms/2RFgEoR |
