I want to thank a lot of the news organizations here today. Because they looked at that nonsense that was released by maybe the intelligence agencies, who knows, maybe the intelligence agencies, which would be a tremendous blot on their record if they did that. A tremendous blot. Because a thing like that should have never been written. It is all fake news. It is phony stuff. It didnt happen. It was a group of opponents that got together, sick people, and they put that crap together. That was weird. Most americans hadnt even heard much about the dossier at the time but it clearly struck a nerve. Trumps response also unnerved jim comey. And it was what moved him to immediately start typing away on an fbi laptop in his motorcade leaving trump tower, spawning the now famous comey memos which Congress Heard about and which helped propel the point of bob mueller as special counsel along with jim comeys firing. No one knew it then but all those roads led back to the dossier. Now lets be clea
Apparently. No, the opposite. Otherwise the day to dismantle obamas signature moves. Lets talk first really quickly about john kelly yesterday. Mmhmm. What did you think . I thought he was a real moderating force. You could tell the press really felt comfortable with him and there was a lot to hope for in there. There was one thing he said i think kind of i worry it undermines everything. He says the tweets dont bother him, the president s tweets. Its like you have a patient hemorrhaging on one side of the body the other side looks good, i only work on the other side. I think, though, i think youve had this expectation from the beginning that ive never had, because chief of staffs dont go an tell the president what is they are or are not going to do. Chief of staffs run the white house, richard haase, a tpd president s i would have loved to have seen george w. Bushs chief of staffs go in and give him ideas on iraq or on afghanistan or other issues and basically order him to do things.
Forgot what their pledges were. Were going a little different route. In the end, it is going to be just as effective, and maybe it will even be better. This just hours after the Trump White House deals a crippling blow to obamacare, cutting off subsidies to help low income americans afford health insurance. Next hour, the president is targeting another obama legacy item, Iran Nuclear Deal. He is expected to announce the agreement no longer serves Americas National interests, but will stop short of scrapping the deal all together. Lets again with the president as he wrapped the speech moments ago. Senior White House Correspondent jeff zeleny is there. Two big announcements, two major obama legacy items. What is the president telling folks today . Reporter indeed, kate, good morning. The president was clear when he was talking about what congress has not done in terms of repealing and replacing obamacare. Call it the political equivalent of making lemonade out of lem ons. We covered thes
Victory, but now republican infighting could take the Republican Party to a tremendous failure tomorrow night. And according to congressional sources, Donald Trumps own misunderstanding of the plan theyre pushing. Were looking here of course at some live images of the house where the debate continues. The key vote coming in just an hour. Trump this morning not ruling out a shutdown. Mr. President , are you expecting a Government Shutdown sir . Well see what happens, its up to the democrats. Republicans also casting down on where donald trump stands and whether he even knows whats in the deal. As soon as we figure out what he is for, then i would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels going to this issue on the floor. The president says that chip shouldnt see a 30day or shortterm extension. I think i dont know whether its clear to the president what were trying to do is reauthorize chip longterm, and not just for 30 days. Theres a little jargon there, but that was a burn
