KING: Topping our political radar today, Robert De Niro letting it fly once again when it comes to his strong dislike of President Trump. The actor opening his appearance at the Tony Awards with a two-word phrase CBS censors had to silent before it aired. But the crowd loved it.</s>ROBERT DE NIRO, AMERICAN ACTOR: I'm going to say one thing -- Trump.</s>KING: Moving on, the New York Times shedding more light on the burnout being felt by the President's top aides at the White House. It says the Chief of Staff John Kelly described it as, quote. a miserable place to work when senators came calling on him last week. Part of Kelly's frustration is rather than trumping the people around him, the President is talking more and more frequently with outsiders, including foreign campaign aides Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie. President on the phone more often. Does that mean John Kelly is miserable about staying or miserable about leaving soon?</s>JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS; WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, THE NEW YORK TIMES: Well, I mean, this is about to be the one year mark for Kelly. And I think, you know, by all accounts for the last several months he's really been really looking toward this as like he will have been here a year, it might be time to move on. But for months now, certainly since the beginning of this year, Kelly had felt like he is just kind of holding things together, and Trump in a lot of ways is kind of a skipping back to the comfort zone of the people who are with him before. Corey Lewandowski being one of them, David Bossie, and just keeping his own counsel. And I think that puts the Chief of Staff in a really tough position, so.</s>KING: Corey Lewandowski then but not exactly Kelly kind of people, just an observation there. Up next, why a relatively obscure office might be the most important place in Washington for Democrats with 2020 aspirations.
