earlier. there s nothing more to add on that. sarah, can i drill down what is driving the daca review and final decision? is the president reviewing the merits of the daca policy or is he legality of the process. if congress were to protect the daca would he sign on to such an effort? there seems to be interest there. what he s reviewing? again, i hate to sound like a broken record but since you are and i guess i have no choice to be, but we re continuing to work through this process and i won t go further than that. the president s made a lot of statements on this. and he s going through all of the details of this very thoroughly and once the final decision is made and those details are ironed out we ll let you know on tuesday. just as we re wrapping up here, a reminder, if you have suggestions for the president to contribute that, that would be
takes lightly, and he s taking time and diligent effort to make sure that he goes through every bit of the process, and he ll continue to do that and make that announcement on tuesday. i m sorry? is what s happening in texas and even in louisiana i think the situation itself is weighing on him, certainly. i ve got two. the first one is coming back after labor day weekend, there s obviously a lot of stuff on the agenda. going to be a busy september. there were some tensions between the president and congressional republicans over the summer, and i m just wondering if he has a message for them that you would want to share about any reset that he hopes to effect in the next four days before he comes back? and i also wanted to ask you with all the caveats that you aren t allowed to discuss this letter that s part of an investigation let me answer the first question so we don t get lost in that. i think that the message that
tuesday, that does not preclude a tweet over the weekend, but at least we know it won t be later than tuesday. given that the question i had had was what s going to happen in the next few days because we know that today is almost over. essentially. the president tomorrow all day is going to be in texas and louisiana. visiting some of these places that were hit hard by the storm which essentially leaves him sunday and monday to finalize the review at this point. i think we have a little bit of sarah huckabee sanders answer to that, and i want to play it for you. given the president is going to be pretty busy saturday down in that region, you ve said 19 times that he s going to be finalizing the decision in the next two days. can you explain what is going to change between now and tuesday given that we heard the president talk in the oval office about a decision coming this weekend. what specifically is he doing in the next three days he hasn t done so far? look, i think this is a p
the president would have for the members of congress would be let s get to work. you ve had a nice long break here, and we ve got a lot of things to do. we ve got some big commitments to the american people that we need to fulfill, and we need to do some really big and bold things throughout the fall and hopefully they ll get on board and be part of that process. the letter as reported suggests that some of the rational did have to do with russia, but the president initially talked about hillary clinton and i m wondering whether you can square those two for us. do you think his do you think there s now an inconsistency that needs to be addressed and would you like to address it from the podium. i m not sure i m following fully your question, but as i said earlier in reference to the letter and the comey firing, we have discussed that extensively of the in fact, i ve done that many times from this podium. and i ll refer you back to ty cobb s statement that i read
leadership. we look forward and we will be there steady, ready and to support at a moment s notice. thank you, sir. thank you, general. yes, sir. general robinson, again, i cannot thank you or those who serve under you enough for what they have done to make texas a better place. and if you would, please pass along my deepest gratitude to secretary mattis. we have had a seamless and really daily collaboration with members of the dod throughout this process, and that collaboration will continue. and i have expressed to our commander in chief directly my gratitude to all that the dod and the united states military has done to help texas in this very dark time. with that i ll be happy to take a few questions. you talked about gas lines that are happening right now. people are going out and seeing
