that. you are 100% correct. there are a lot of times on the campaign trail where we have embeds and reporters that fly with us and eat, sleep, and drink with us 24/7, and some of them want extra access. and a lot of times what we say this meeting or this dinner or this plane trip is off the record. at the same time, you still tell all the staff and the candidates and their family, this may be off the record, but we still have to be careful that some of these may take this information and put it on the record. you have to be careful and assume that even if it s off the record, it still can come back to bite you in the rear. let me ask a question, there are parts of the book that doesn t necessarily ring true. a lot rings super true, but sarah sanders was asked today to give some examples of things that were not accurate. take a listen. there was a claim that the president didn t know who john boehner was is pretty ridiculous considering majority of you have seen photos and several
is an island, it s in the ocean, some really big water, it s almost like he didn t know where puerto rico was and he didn t know that those are american citizens and so what do you expect? okay. let s turn to the departure of hhs secretary tom price. what kind of pressure does this put on your republican colleagues to try to step up oversight of this administration? this is just one more scandal. i don t know why they re surprised that price did this, they knew he was kind of a crook going in. he had all these suspicious trades with stock and health care companies. i think he got there and he wanted to be like trump and take all these private jet trips. my goodness, you can catch the train and be in philadelphia in an hour or so, you didn t need $25,000 plane trip to go back and forth to philadelphia. the republicans have got to tail responsibility and it s not just price, you re seeing more and more information come out about other secretaries who are doing similar things, zinke w
meeting don jr. had with the russians, that plane trip is going to be scoured over. and the other parties, it s clear from whom mueller is hiring that the financial side of this is going to be a deep investigation, and i know that people inside the white house were concerned, particularly about the reports about michael cohen who was an associate, a lawyer for donald trump and had some unsavory associations that ar coming under scrutiny. heidi, i ve got bannon fatigue myself so i m not going to play any more of it, but the one piece that is worth sort of adding to what we ve already shared with our viewers which is important to explain why we re doing so. this is someone in constant contact with the president of the united states. a real window into his thinking, an ideological. he sort of alludes and hints to charlie rose that he should get to the bottom of where jared kushner came down on the decision to fire jim comey.
circles, feel like they re just starting to get their sea legs under the kelly rule. but mueller is really sort of speeding up and accelerating his irn interaction with this west wing. it should come as no surprise we re seeing reports like hope hicks and rinse priebus now on the outside, don mcgahn getting their own lawyers. it would be remarkable if they weren t. one thing we re starting to see is we re going to start seeing legal fees putting an enormous burden on a lot of these people. $1,000 is fine if you re jared kushner. it s not necessarily fine if you are a midlevel staffer. and i suspect, based on what i m hearing, we re going to start seeing outside legal defense funds popping up. but directionally, this investigation is pretty clear. they are burrowing down on the obstruction of justice and that plane trip where they wrote the misleading statement about the
know, the plane trip is one thing. once they get to cuba, americans will have to spend their dollars and their money on individual cubans, not at facilities owned and controlled by the cuban military. that was the rationale behind that. maria: senator, let me can you to give us some clarity on the agenda right now. there s a health care bill sitting in the senate. a lot of people are wondering what the progress looks like because you ve got to get health care done before you move on to tax reform. big items on the agenda, the dems are pushing back every day to try to to obstruct that agenda in help hopes that the president and the congress doesn t get anything done in this first year. where is the health care bill right now? what would be the timeline and clarity from your standpoint that you could give us? and there is a lot of confusion about that. of there s a group in the senate working with input from all of us. any one of us senators on the republican side who wants to have inp
