inquiry will hinder your efforts and will tecum so much of your time? that s not been the case and will not be the case. i spent all day yesterday in the hearing with the ceo of boeing, talking about the crashes of the 737 max aircraft and what we need to do to fix that problem. we have passed, as you well know, 200 pieces of legislation on health care, prescription drug prices, infrastructure, fighting gun violence, most of which what the problem is they re being blocked by mitch mcconnell in the united states senate. we ve demonstrated we can do our job. we will do our job in the house of representatives. the reason why things aren t getting done is nothing to do with impeachment and everything to do with mitch mcconnell and the senate. tim morrison s deposition today, the top russia adviser on the national security council. republican congressman mark
there be one committee that should all this funnel into one committee very quickly? i have great confidence in our six chairmen that they can manage this effectively. i think we are going to see a concentration in the intelligence committee because they are the ones that are able to read this complaint, know what documents we need to see, know what information needs to get out to the american public. but this is a process that we can manage. and at the same time we re going to continue with our agenda of working for the american people. and let me tell you why i think this is so different from what we ve seen before mmm-hmm. and why i don t it s when i travelled the country during the midterms, whether i was in a red state or a blue state i found that people responded to corruption. mmm-hmm. they want to know we re going to be putting the issues of health care, of infrastructure, of fighting gun violence
but i do want to talk to iran. he sometimes says contradictory things in public even when he s frustrated in private and that leads to these advisers being on the outs. i think we should watch for this to play out, even as the president tries to deny that there is discord behind the scenes. our reporting shows that there really s i think the fact that his rhetoric and bolton s rhetoric are not in the same place is just a clear example of how they are just two completely different directions on this issue. but there is a big risk in the president personally getting involved in any negotiation with iran. he s just not equipped in the back story and getting himself directly involved with iranian officials. he could find himself in a similar position as he has been with kim jong-un coming to two summits, walking away empty handed. many people would say he would be better served if he did have his advisers step in for any sort of negotiation ala what we saw with president obama over the m
