last week they dropped the largest bomb in the arsenal. candidate was critical of military operations overseas and promised an america first foreign policy. we re not going into syria. there were some questions, nikki haley is doing a great job, rex is doing a fantastic job our secretary of state, general mcmaster fantastic. if they take every little word oh they re different. we talked about the many questions. it s hard because he was asked a question about syria and what s your next commitment. are you going to put troops on the ground, are you going to increase the number of special operations forces, are you going to create no fly zones and safe zones, which would require talking to the american people, talking to congress, c, more boots on the ground and the president gives a quick answer we re not going in and segues to talking about his staff, good that he s proud of his staff, his team, but rex. it s funny but it s not in
marinating in this day in day out. the list is extraordinary. conventional president, democrat or republican had come into office and abandoned a half a dozen issues in the first 100 days it would be a roast. neil gorsuch is on the supreme court which conservatives love and the question is what is the mood out in country. we can show you video some tax day protests yesterday, organized by liberal groups on the left, trying to say mr. president we want to you release your taxes, something he s refused to do. there we go. shame on you! this is one of the town halls, this is shame on you to jeff flake in arizona. we have the combination of these things, you see the tax protests there. the question is, is this a protest? is this people venting or are the democrats and other progressive groups getting legs underneath them to do something when it comes to the ballot box? we won t get the big test until next year. this is the virginia s govern race and house special
house special elections to replace tom price the health secretary is taking place. all eyes there are on john ossoff running against a fractured gop field. the question is can ossoff this democrat get 50% of the vote in if he does he wins outright and a runoff that would be in june. that s what democrats are hoping for. he s been polling 40%. last week democrats had a poll in the field had him at 46 so he s inching closer to that magic number but john as you know, in this scenario close doesn t count. if he s not at 50, he s looking at the a two-month runoff where he ll take a lot of artillery from the fwop. democrats want him to 50. he s getting close. we re not sure if he s there and to employ one of the oldest cliches is comes down to turnout. is it more of a democratic field, turnout or more of attritional turnout. we ll be up tuesday night
intelligence briefings, he has a whole team of economic staff. people are giving him more and more information that is in some cases changing his mind. the world was more complicated than it was on the campaign trail especially when you re governing and your twitter feed. exactly, labeling china a currency manipulator would have major economic and diplomatic consequences. that s one reason he backed off. the question is what do his core voters think? do they view it as he said this he ll be flexible or the fact that he said he promised to clamp down on china, go after them and bring back jobs in the rust belt states and a lot of us concerned about china and chinese trade practices, how do they feel by his about-face. as they do, jump in, you ve been traveling quite a bit. the president said getting big things done, jobs are returning, illegal immigration is plummeting, law and order and justice is being restored. we are truly making america
say certain things. you don t, you know, rattle sabers over there. it s just a matter of time before the president speaks about this. i was struck last night by the comment from jim mattis the defense secretary, the president will have no further comment on this north korean missile test. good luck with that. the secretary of state was in asia and north korea, they said the same thing. they believe kim jong-un wants attention, in a running conversation with the president of the united states because he believes that elevates him on the world stage and not going to give him that conversation. key question how long the president can resist when kim jong-un says mr. president send your naval carrier group, i will still, and it failed, which is embarrassing for the regime, the test. the secretary spoke with the chinese state counselor. the administration has been counting as past administrations have counted to try to get the chinese to exercise some leverage. china took some modest econ
