whole world, how what is happening with different types of experimental launch systems. all of those things are just flat out wrong. it was an interesting that moment was particularly interesting because the president has this pet issue with steam catapult launchers on aircraft carriers, how they re launched into the air, versus electromagnetic. he put that officer on the spot saying which one do you support? i was waiting for his answer. to his credit, he said listen, these are better. and i wondered for a moment whether he was going to be dropped off at the nearest deserted island. kaitlan collins, i want to go to you because clearly the president was sensitive to recent questions about how he has not visited troops in the field two years, nearly two years into his term there. he does this conference call. conference phone call. do his advisers believe that he accomplished something with this call to show his interest in the troops? even as he brought up all those political issue
what s the balance. we had a scroll of 85 different investigations that various members talked of wanting to do. we know everybody has their pet issue with him, probably in your 230 plus caucus these days. how do you prioritize. 235. making sure that, one, the mueller investigation is allowed to continue. that s incredibly important. making sure that we have the ability to get to the bottom, the real bottom of what happened with the russians who were absolutely clearly trying to influence the outcome of our presidential election in 2016, and making sure this president who has consistently violated the emoluments clause and is profiting off the presidency, we hold him accountable for that. those are the few things i can think of. primarily, our members are coming to congress to make sure we can take care of people, make their lives better and not just take care of the wealthy which is what the republicans have done. let s go to your home county.
i can t tell you. not sure. the former mayor railed against cohen for secretly recording the president. he s a scum bag, a horrible person. never heard of a lawyer taping his client. zpl giuliani is blasting a trial that s about to begin for paul manafort, argue iing the case i being used as leverage to take down the president. just a big fish, the reason they got manafort in solitary confinement so he ll give up donald trump or a russia p. instead of answering questions, mr. trump returned to a pet issue for his base, immigration. again threatening a government shutdown if he country get what he wants. i would have no problem doing a shutdown. the it s time we had proper border security. prz we re the laughing stock of
she had a pet issue, literacy, she had a number of causes she supported, literacy was the one that was most conspicuous and i went to be the emcee at the 75th anniversary of pearl harbor a year ago last december and that was at the bush library, bush 41 library in texas and the first night we were there, she was not there because she was away at a literacy event with her son neil. there was a cause that she lost sight of. the springer spaniel s were out of the picture and she had a couple of these dogs that went wherever she would go and you could tell when she was going to come into a room because she would be preceded by the dogs and they kept an eye on things. she liked that. tucker: our dogs get smaller as we age, i notice that.
serious price to that. but if they don t ask that question, that will show i think that they re not very serious about taking these republicans, including hope hicks, seriously. or maybe steve bannon threads the needle, tries to save president trump and goes after his adversary for months and months, jared kushner. i want to read from a quote from washington post last year. about the president s decision to write a statement about that trump town meeting back in 2016. quote, president trump wanted the statement to say that the meeting had been initiated by the russian lawyer and primarily was about her pet issue, the adoption of russian children. the president dictated the statement to hope hicks who served as a go between with trump jr. who was not on the plane, sharing edits between the two men, according to people with knowledge of the discussion. this shows how close hope hicks was to this situation. i remember there was one statement earlier this year and it was hope hicks who
