question, if donald trump had never fired james comey, we wouldn t have a special prosecutor, we would not have james comey testifying tomorrow about these private conversations. we might actually be talking about infrastructure week, which is what he wants to get back on. so taking it to a political point, so much of this is donald trump s own making. i m sure democrats would want to be talking about infrastructure week if it were for this. that s on your conversation. it is. it is 100% the ark. martha: thanks to. good to see about. the president getting back to the business of leaving the country and focusing on one issue that affects us all, roads. he would like for that to be the sole purpose. he wanted it to be infrastructure week, but first, the james comey hearing, which is tomorrow. it deals with obstruction of justice, a term that has been thrown around a lot by people in
it was a pretty busy day. did the president react at all with what was happening back in washington today? we were focusing on jobs today, infrastructure, and doing what the american people said we should be doing. aside from the distractions, they want to take the president away from what the american people elected him to do, to get things done and put america first, today, the president wasn t exactly on track. talking about infrastructure, talking about getting rid of the bad trade deals. he had builders with him, he had union folks with him. he got a huge applause when he said, we are going to stop the dumping of steel. i think today, the president was focused on what he should be doing. martha: as a member of the cabinet, he talked in this statement that was put out by james comey today about the cloud that was over his
you are not a subject of investigation, and to any lawyer with half a brain, they wouldn t let comey testify if there was really an obstruction of justice case to be made, because you would not let your star witness go out in public. now, what the president has to do is focus on infrastructure, focus on cutting taxes, and i m going to promise the whole country that i m not going to stay in the way of this investigation. but we are going to go down the road of, did the department of justice and the dnc colluded with each other to stop the clinton email investigation. martha: that is another issue that we are going to talk about as well. senator lindsey graham, always good to see you. thank you so much, sir. here is charles hurt, and emily hearth, both are fox news contributors. welcome to both of you. something that lindsey graham just touched on is, another part of this that i found interesting
together, no votes from the other side. martha: what about on infrastructure? he suggested today that he was going to be able to bring people together from the republican and democrat side. but maybe there are indications that this could still happen. do you think that s too? i think america deserves to be red, white, and blue on infrastructure. we all drive across the same bridge. the washington memorial bridge, which is going to cost about $262 million to repair, i think there should be a consensus that we need to invest in infrastructure. you can t move product if the roads don t work. you can t be energy dominant unless you have pipelines and power lines to move energy back and forth and be more efficient. so, i am hopeful that on infrastructure, which affects the lives of every american, that we can come together and having investment.
the testimony of the current intelligence and justice leadership on capitol hill. when asked if anyone tried to pressure or influence his work, the director said this. in the three plus years that i have been, i have never been directed to do anything i believed to be illegal, immoral, unethical, or inappropriate. and to the best of my recollection, during that same period of service, i do not recall ever feeling pressured to do so. martha: very emphatic. then the president hops on air force one and went to the heartland. my new vision for american infrastructure will rebuild our country by regenerating $1 trillion in infrastructure investment. martha: back in d.c., it was all comey. we got all the angles covered for you tonight. senator lindsey graham is here,
