they have various sources on that. these stories about that he was liberal in his prescribing of pills to people who worked in also the upper, some white house staffers have had as well. i have heard from staffers of previous administrations that they did get this drug, the one that keeps you awake a lot, that one was fairly readily available at the white house. need that. all of us do at 3:00 a.m. this is one of those cases where you have to dig deeper in this investigation. if he crashed a car and he was drunk there ought to be some kind of record. we ought to be able to find that out fairly easily. he said he never has. i would have thought in the next couple of days we re going to start seeing whether this story holds water or whether it doesn t. after spending a very handsy day with president trump, french president emmanuel macron speaks to congress. in the address that many saw as a rebuke of trumpism.
assault. you get the last word. president s job is to inspire and bring hope to the american people, sometimes in difficult times. what this president does is pedestrian l fear. a great president in the history of this country, fdr, was the first thing he says to the country upon being inaugurated, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. fear is the lubricant of trumpism, small, petty, cruel, mean spirited fear. and that s what we saw today. fear is the lubricant of dictators. we know he likes dictators a whole lot. when we come back, the answer that every reporter who covers this administration is used to hearing, and what it really means.
