be speaking in front of the american farm bureau's annual convention. this is an opportunity for the white house and the president to pivot back to policy talking a little bit about some of the things he has been the most proud of in the first term. particularly this tax bill. according to kperpgzs, the president will devote a good chunk of his speech and the benefits for rural americans, but there will be an effort to pivot towards the future and more policy efforts they will be pushing on infrastructure and the aspects of that proposal that might impact rural americans. this book is really ov overshadowing so much of that. with the president going out into the country, he will be in front of the podium where he has the opportunity to say whatever he wants. we will be watching to see if he will go off script and talk about this controverciy that has been overshadowing his white house over the last 72 hours. >> i wouldn't be surprised if he does. we will see. steve bannon is expressing regret for not responding sooner
