Kate Bolduan gives a fresh take on todays top stories. Letting him ask about obstruction but doing so in written answers and limiting inperson questions to questions that dealt with things that events that happened before President Trump was inaugurated, focus on the potential collusion questions and nothing about obstruction of justice. All of these debates over whether they will sit down are going on while giuliani is saying President Trump does want to sit down with him, he is expressing interest. Its the legal team that has the reservations about that. This is happening while the president is continuing to lash out at the Special Counsel. Thats because the president believes he can sway Public Opinion to agree with him that this is a witch hunt and be on board this investigation has gone on too long, that its a witch hunt. Whether or not that pans out is up to the president s twitter feed and whether he can convince his supporters. Stand by to stand by. Great to see you. Thank you
thanks so much. all right, phil. joining us now is nfl, former nfl offensive guard, damian woody. you won two super bowls with tom brady. on his offensive line. i m not going to ask you to explain what s happening right now although you re more than welcome to tell me if tom has called you and told you what he s going to do. i think one of the interesting things now is you know, as somebody who knows him, played with him and understands how he operates, would it be a surprise to you or was it a surprise to you when you saw some of your espn colleagues report today that he was going to hang it up? it wasn t a surprise. think about it. the guy s 44 years old. played 22 years in the national football league. and you ve gone down the list of accolades he s accomplished. for me, it was the podcast with jim gray. there was a specific word he used and that was the word satisfied. and when you re talking about the greatest of the great athletes, whether it s tom brady, michael jordan, al
he was elected for a very specific set of purposes, to give governance to the country and to end the chaos. i think that should be remembered as we go into this final stretch of the reconciliation bill. get something done, which the american people can understand and can afford. if you can do some modest family leave paid family leave, do it. by all means, do the preschool and do the climate change. get something done that is the core of that bill that shows real progress. then let s move on. you can come hopefully come back in future years. neither the base of the party understands everything you re trying to do, and the swing voters in the country, the broad electorate, it doesn t support it. they need to recalibrate. that was abigail spanberger who said that, and she certainly knows virginia voters. monica, understanding all of that, where does the white house go from here? it wasn t a surprise yesterday that they pushed back on congress saying, see, you should have passed my
she lived her life, hugged her nephews, felt free once again. but then i went to a local clinic near my home and requested an antibodies test. and received the results and i did not mount any antibodies. it wasn t a surprise for kimberly because back in 2018 she had had a liver transplant and now takes medications to suppress her immune system so her new liver isn t rejected. unfortunately, that also means she iscompromisedimmunocompromi. her immune system has a much harder time making antibodies after receiving the covid vaccine. we don t have an immune system to fight off the virus, so it s kind of an open game. a study of over 18,000 fully vaccinated transplant patients like kimberly found that relative to the general population they were 82 times more likely to develop a post
i think it s part of a two-step process and it was a significant day for this administration. michael, beyond us, were you surprised at the extent of the republican crossover starting with mcconnell, but then 18 more after that and is it proof that some of them at least can read opinion polls? to your second point yes to the first point yes, it wasn t a surprise at all, mcconnell telegraphed with his caucus was going to do, the only question is was it 16, 15, or 17 it would be more than the normal that you would require. their internal polling shows something that i still don t think the democrats fully appreciated for the longer term strategy here, and that is the american people like this bill. we have an infrastructure bill that has been passed, it is no
