talk about getting security for $20 million. she was talking about naming the building. and then she went on to praise it. that was the bulk of the speech. press secretary sanders: she also mentioned that she had quite a few comments that day that were part of that speech and were part of that video that were also witnessed by many people that were there. what general kelly reference yesterday. reporter: what specifically? press secretary sanders: exactly what he said, there was a lot of grandstanding and he was stunned that she d taken the opportunity to make it about herself. reporter: will he come out and talk to us about that at some point? press secretary sanders: he addressed that pretty thoroughly yesterday. if you want to go after general kelly, that s up to you, but i think if you want to get into a debate with a four-star marine general, i think that s something highly inappropriate. reporter: when president trump spoke at the ca building in january, there was a h
white house? she should have had respect. i think that s were active supporting the family. everybody can express their feelings and the best way possible. there s not a perfect way to do this, but caring despite out any longer is not helping anybody. dana: something i thought very skillful of sarah sanders today if she could have been dragged into a media fight about the former president who gave separate speeches yesterday, not coordinated, but they were very critical of the president himself. sam two sarah sanders rightly and skillfully turned back around and said they didn t take it personally. that s absolutely right. it was really unusual for this white house not to pick a fight. it reminded me of what president trump did earlier this week when john mccain also gave a speech very similar to the speech the president bush did yesterday and took a pass and president trump said, i m not going to fight him on this. i don t want that fight. it s mark, it s really smart. they shou

hillary clinton or donald trump. maybe they wouldn t even mention it all, but they seem to have actually you guys are saved by sarah huckabee sanders who is not going to take the white house podium. don t let him show you what. i know that there s more spirit out there. as many of you saw last night, the senate adopted a budget resolution that is another important milestone for tax reform. and set the stage for us to have major tax cuts that will deliver more jobs and higher wages for hardworking americans all over the country. many of you have seen today that the first lady donated the gown she wore to the inaugural ball to them estonians national museum of american history. in her speech she mentioned that leading up to inauguration day, everyone was so busy getting ready, that the dresses designer ended up only having two weeks to work on the first lady s design and create the dress. i was a came together in the first lady excited to take part
