funds that are being spent overseas to perform an action that is con temporary to the values of this president and i think continue to further illustrate not just to the folks here in this country, but around the world of what a value we place on life. jennifer rodriguez. jana, i m sorry. thank you. what did he mean when he said he will work through congress to get special something we don t know what it is? when can we expect that to happen? also, when can we expect the white house spanish site to be back up? two questions. the latter first. as you know, we got we hit the ground running on day one. we did a lot of work on the website to make sure we were prepared to get as much inasmuch as up as fast as possible. we re continuing to build out the website in issues areas and that area. we have the i.t. folks working overtime right now to continue to get all of that up to speed.
terms of their capabilities. but you can t thwart every attack, and if you have an attack like this, you have to harden it as much as you can, but you re relying on intelligence and police work. they are pretty capable inasmuch as they have police on the ground there able to apprehend the individual, which is different from some of the cases we saw earlier in france and belgium last year. it seems, in some of these other attacks, it s an inspiration by isis as we wait to find out that this is, indeed, one of these attacks. what are we looking for? and not just from what officials find out from the suspects but maybe a potential claim that might tell us something. there are various forms of isis trends, one which comes out on an isis channel. if it s somebody they merely inspired, they refer to him as a soldier of the caliphate. if it s something more direct,
before, this idea of how often hee he s doing these briefings. at one point it seemed like mike pence was getting more briefings than him. i will say donald trump, inasmuch as people might be upset about how he s handling these things and how he s kind of freewheeling it, he s in some ways acting as though he really wants to be able to kind of bask in this and really wants to be able to do what he feels like he can do as a president and set a new tone. case in point, the call with taiw taiwan, the call with the taiwanese leader, donald trump can say i can pick um the phone for whoever wants to give me ghagss. this is my moment. i m going to take this call. i don t think we should jump to conclusion and say we re realigning u.s. policy. 1979 was the last time a u.s. president spoke to a taiwanese leader. so i think what donald trump is doing is carbon monoxide of pushing buttons and seeing how far he can go because he ran in some ways a freewheeling campaign and that worked for him. w

if past history is any guide, i would suggest probably the answer is no. inasmuch as president obama has also violated many laws, particularly with respect to immigration, and there have been no impeachment proceedings initiated against barack obama. nor has there been any kind of trial or conviction proceedings in the united states senate. so i would anticipate, and keeping in mind that the filing of articles of impeachment, while it s a legal process, is also a political process, and i suspect that the house of representatives would not act even if someone is subject to impeachment because of high krimz and misdemeanors. that s the way our system has worked in the past and i anticipate that s the way it would work in the future. that you for your tink you f. ahead, chuck steps in to check in on the condition of detroit. you re watching mtp daily.
