determineled to use his authority to make sure we address this crisis at our southern border. he believes he has the right to do that. the vice president defending what he says is the president s right to declare a national emergency. as we bring you back, we re getting some breaking news from the white house now responding to the bombshell we started this show with, the new revelations in that book by andrew mccabe. i want to read it. this is from sarah sanders who writes, andrew mccabe was fireled because he lied to investigators. including under oath. his destructive agenda drove him to open a baseless investigation into the president. his actionings were so shameful he wallace referred to federal prosecutors. this is the tactic.
maybe he should have checked with his chief of staff before calling maggie so they could get on the same page. their talking points weren t quite in line. kelly already has acknowledged it s been a distraction. it s an obsession of the president s, andrea. he says time and time again, i m not under investigation. he made comey insist to him, i am not under investigation. and then went on the air time after time after time saying comey told me, i m not under investigation, i m not, i m not. he just can t seem to accept the fact. this is partially pushing back about washington post reporting about turmoil in the oval office. i was one of the authors of that story. it seemed like he was pushing back on. we feel confident in our reporting. we would not have written it if we didn t feel confident in our reporting. i understand why the president would publicly want to say he s not upset. it s not a good look for a president to sort of be frustrated and aggravated by this cloud of r
attack in lower manhattan, and what the president called for in criticizing the justice system and calling for the death penalty. that could be very popular politically. no one would disagree with the sense of horror for what happened there. but do you have any concerns about the justice system criticism, and what are you saying publicly about an ongoing case? well, this was a horrific, cowardly attack, and you would think these terrorists would learn that these cowardly actions only redouble our resolve. new york city has shown that repeatedly, the country has shown that repeatedly. this is a time when the country should be coming together and unified, and it is really sad to see the president immediately try to politicize it in so many ways, starting with his tweet yesterday morning going after chuck schumer for an immigration program that s been in place since 1990 on a bipartisan basis. look, we should look at all the facts.
the only target by a long shot. to you, nick. no question about it. the russians have been trying to interfere with the brexit vote. they probably did interfere with that. they re trying to interfere with the european elections. this is the only way this country, russia, can do anything at this point. i mean, they re just not the same superpower they used to be, but they certainly have the ability on the wherewithall in the cyber world. and unfortunately, this country has not met that challenge. congress has refused to pass an all-encompassing bill to address this problem, and we have a president who is basically tone deaf when it comes to cyber security. and in denial about russia, michael. absolutely. the president has denied that russia was interfering in the election on multiple occasions. he doesn t get the gravity of this. so we haven t seen any action from the administration. there was a denial initially by the state department to use money that was programmed for
we will restore our competitive edge by reducing business taxes for the first time in more than 30 years. and we will bring back trillions and trillions of dollars that s now parked overseas so that money can be put to work rebuilding the united states of america as opposed to rebuilding other parts of the world. again, i want to thank broadcom ceo for joining us today. he s a highly, highly respected man, a great, great executive. the job he s done is an incredible job. but what he s doing is committing to massive amounts of american jobs. when hot told me about this move, he said, mr. president, we want to be an american company. we re hearing that all of these days, we re hearing it more and more. we re hearing it, frankly i m hearing it every single day.
