stuck to script. what do you think? yeah. he did little flourishes that he likes to. he likes to repeat certain words that appeal to him. by and large he stayed with the script. remember, this is what he s going to have to do, if he wants to increase spending by $50 billion and take that money from other programs including domestic spending, he s going to have to sell this budget hard. that s not a small ask given the fact that we have enormous deficit spending and enormous national debt. as he goes out to do that, he s going to have to take moments like that and sell the message directly to the people. dana: earlier, we don t have him on camera saying this, apparently president trump said that he has full confidence in his attorney general, jeff sessions. i don t think there s any reason for him necessarily not to. but chris, there s an earthquake happening in washington, d.c. today as you have this controversy about whether jeff sessions had met with the
