donald trump jr. took a meeting that was proposed to him to have information from the russian government come to the trump campaign. he said, i love it, so that s a pretty bad fact. and now there are more facts that need to come out over the course of this thing. and back to your other point, don, the trump administration is certainly undelivering. they promised by 100 days there would be a health care bill, there would be an infrastructure bill, there would abe tax bill, there would be a child care bill, and none of those things have passed. most of them haven t even been sent to congress yet. they have the choice to send these things to congress. if they re not even sending them up there, they really can t blame that on the democrats. mike said he s facing obstruction unlike any other president or administration has. mike, go on. i was specifically referring there to his nominees. my point was that there are 87 nominees that went up in june alone. but look, we have record emplo
