need of day care after that senator was attacked be i the president in a series of tweets. it s the kind of this inc. that would seem far fetched if it was a fictional plot in a political comedy. yet, here we are, it s real. it s happening. there is a lot to unpack there, including corker disputes the president s version of what happened in their conversation. what sticks out to me, thomas, corker is one of the most essential members of congress for the president s agenda, he s a chairman of the foreign relations committee. he holds the keys to the nominees, which holds a successor for rex tillerson. he s an essential vote for tax reform for president. he is making demands that will be hard to meet like not adding to the deficit. but on top of that he s not running for re-election. so he can spend the next 15 months saying and doing what he wants. it s hard to fathom the end game for from president to alienate him. corker is a u.s. million. he can retort anyway he wants, most of twit
there are still laws that we can put on the books. we need to close this bunk stock loophole so we don t see the kind of mass carnage that we saw in las vegas. we perhaps could have prevented it, had those bump stocks not been legal. so i think there is a legitimate debate. there is room for a dejit mat debate. i disagree with steve. i think the majority of the working people do. i am working with drapts and republicans crafting our own legislation to address this one specific question. but there are other things we can do as well. but if there is someone like a steve scalise who is a powerful member of congress, who is still in rehabilitation coming back after what happened on that practice field, where it was the team of gop republicans practicing for that game, how do you get the will to move forward to do anything if there is not
flag and national anthem. so the incident did not go without comment from the president. he took credit from pence s departure. i asked him to leave if any players kneeled, i am proud of him and second lady karen, referring to karen pence, in attendance there. just to shed light on the travel of the vice president to do this, it was a lot, flying across the country on your taxpayer dime. last night he was in vegas to offer condolence toss victim s families. at a vigil there, he flew from vegas to indianapolis to attend today s football match where he ultimately walked out. there was a jersey ceremony for peyton manning. he was going to be there for that and that happened at halftime. but now the vice president, since he left that game, missing that jerry is ceremony for manning, he goes back to california and this is where he will be pushing the administration s plan on tax reform. i want to bring in our pan toll talk more about this, what we
we begin this hour with a round of political football. first this flurry of reporting about an unsigned quarterback,colin kaepernick and whether or not he would stop taking a knee. cbs sports reported the pro ball free agent would stand during national anthem if given a chance to win in the nfl again. the reporter for that exclusive report later clarified himself saying him and kaepernick didn t discuss that issue. meanwhile, today s game between colts and 49ers was used as a stage for several nfl athletes just as players took a knee and protest the national anthem, vice president mike pence took a stand and shortly walked out of the stadium, but not without sending a series of tweets saying, i left the colts game pous potus and i will not dig fify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag and national anthem. he said i stand with potus trump, i stand with our soldiers. i will always stands for our
quarterbacks that are playing in the game right now, they kind of stink and he would be a lot better than them. and he deserves great credit in my book for truly putting his money where his mouth is. i have not debated whether or not he is a man of principle. he clearly, i admire him for. that i m opposed to the tactics he has chosen to take to express his. let s get to how americans feel about this, the cbs poll show 52% of americans do disapprove of the anthem protests and then there are 55% of americans that are disapproving the president s calls for firing players. so that is really interesting. i do want to get your take as america is split over this. i do want to get your take on twitter today with the president jean carlo going after bob corker and corker firing back and this whole interior gop feud that is playing out in public, who does it benefit?
