Heroin. First, we want to start with the big political headline of the day involving Kristen Welker at the white house with new reaction to senator bob corker this morning. And kristen, i want to kind of set up this thing here because corker told the New York Times that President Trump is treating the office like a reality show. Like he is doing the apprentice or something setting the country on the path to world war iii. And hes calling out the president s tweets that are untrue. Everyone does it according to senator bob corker. This is an extraordinary moment. When the republicans and the white house will be asked about today, and one Senior Adviser has been asked about it, right . Reporter thats right. And the white house is pushing back very hard against this stunning criticism by senator bob corker. Effectively saying it is unfounded, it is politically motivated. Take a listen to what Kellyanne Conway had to say and well read more tweets on the other side. Weve all worked with sen
He downright tweeted for his guy. Today, all those tweets have been deleted. Hes now enthusiastically backing the republican candidate roy moore. We have a man whos going to be a great senator and im very happy with that. I spoke to him last night. I never met him. I never spoke to him. Im very happy with him and i have to say luther came a long way from the time i endorsed him and he ran a good race but roy ran a really great race and i know they did in the campaign but he works hard and im sure things will work out.

He backs criminalizing homosexual behavior wherever it can be found. Do you think homosexuality or homosexual conduct should be illegal today . Thats a yes or no question. Homosexual conduct should be i

For too long, our tax code has incentivized companies to leave our country in search of lower tax rates. That happens. Many, Many Companies are going to ireland. Theyre going all over. Going all over asia but theyre stopping because they now want to take advantage of whats happening and what were about to pass, hopefully. My administration rejects the offshoring model. Lets build a factory in another country. Isnt that wonderful . That really helps us a lot. Fire everybody n lets build the product and send it in without tax back into the United States. That model doesnt work for me. It never worked and shouldnt have worked for any of our other past president s. Believe me. Our new model is the american model. Call it the trump model where we build it here. As much as possible, we build it here. Simply put, our tax
And she said, he didnt even remember his name. The president defended that call on twitter, saying the congresswomans account was totally fabricated and that he has proof. Later, he was asked about that proof. With the woman, with the wife who sounded like a lovely woman, did not say what the congresswoman said, and most people arent too surprised to say that. What was the proof, mr. President . Let her make her statement again and youll find out. Let her make her statement again and youll find out. So what really happened on that call, and is the president now politicizing the death of a u. S. Service member . Lets get to our reporters who debriefed this.
