question on. what he argued is that the trump administration lied in their explanation for it. that, in a way, is emblematic of this entire administration. which is it is an administration built on and arrests and perpetrates lie after lie after lie. it is fundamentally dishonest as an administration and that is the reason they got tripped up here. it is good news in this sense as well, which is the supreme court spoke and donald trump didn t challenge it. that has happened before. so a lot of times he is bluster, he hufs and he puffs, but he backs down. he s done it on this issue and others as well. the border wall and a lot of others. that is actually good because it means our institutions are strong enough to check him. victoria, what struck you about the way this ended? the president did get our attention and get all of those national news cameras on him and not at the border looking at children in detention centers.
like he did at the state of the union but issues more important to conservatives. he s been able to do a lot the last two years and get those guys fired up heading into a crucial election year. so this is an opportunity for the president to fire up those folks, get them reenergized, make sure that they understand the litany of things that needs to be accomplished. the vice president did a really good job of laying that out today, being the warmup act for the president. he wouldn t take offense to that he s been a phenomenal and vice president to president trump. neil: chris christie said when the cohen hearings were going on, sean, that more republicans that didn t challenge him on the substance of the remarks that cohen was raising that the president is a racist, that he was a crooked business guy and all of this stuff. they challenged his reliability on that is fine. but they were surprised that on the remarks themselves, not much.
instead of wouldn t. rick: so the question now is this enough for his republican critics? yeah, it takes the pressure off right now. you know, this is only one part of a controversy surrounding the president s trip. you know, the president even if you take this correction at face value, the president didn t challenge vladimir putin directly publicly about russia meddling in 2016 or ongoing effortses for 2018. he didn t publicly challenge him on things like crimea. his efforts to back the assad regime in syria and also going back earlier in the trip, his comments about american allies overseas and the united kingdom. that s what as drawn this criticism from the president. the president addressing the big shiny object. if you take the entire trip at face value, there s a lot there for the president s critics and his friends to find fault in.
facebook knew what he was doing, didn t challenge him on any of it. in the e-mail he says we never claimed during the project that tf it was for academic research. in fact, we never claimed during t we did our absolute best not to have the project have any entanglements with the university. facebook at no point, he says, raised any concerns at all about any of these changes. on friday, as you said, facebook suspended both kogan and cambridge analytica. kogan said rk, i ve been asked quite seriously by reporters from the new york times and the guardian if i am a russian spy. i really tried to explain that one seems just silly.
passion. he is everything to music. this man was a universal pop icon. no barrier stood before this man that he didn t challenge, that he didn t break down, that he didn t tear down. that right there, that will never be replaced. i m going to miss him. i m going to miss him so much. michael jackson was the complete package of an entertainer. i mean, not only could he sing, but he was visually dynamite. if there was one song that if someone asked you to sing in tribute to michael jackson at a service or whatever, what do you think you would sing? how i feel about him, i would probably sing never can say good-bye. can you sing a little bit, please? never can say good-bye no no no no i never can say good-bye because i won t.
