allocate a whopping oh $1.375 billion for border wall krungs. that pales in comparison to the president s mprequest. the presidentt tweeted, quote,e will be getting almost $23 billion for border security, regardless of what they give us, wall money. it is being built as we speak. it sounds like a national emergency is goings to be declared. all right, a front page story in this morning s washington post, special counsel bob mueller is closely examining a dinner meeting on august 2nd of 2016 at the grand havana room in new york city between then campaign chair paulit manafort, his deputy rick gates and konstantin kilimnik, a foreign operative alleged to have ties to russian intelligence. according to post, it was at that meeting that prosecutors believe manafort and kilimnik may have exchanged key
democrats seem content with trying to make the border security, what, more difficult? now, look, the presidentt is fighting this as it is. a life-and-death issue. this is about your family s safety and security first. democrats, once again, playing just pure politics. it s pretty outrageous. they seem to hate donald trump. that is more important to them based on their actions than your security, your family s security, more important than daca, dreamers, even furloughed employees that they claim to care so much about. these are the things they say wanted. just a few short years ago, in obama s second term, they were advocating the same policies donald trump is now pushing hard for. as senate majority leader mitch mcconnell put it, in the democratic party, the radicals, as i ve been saying, the radical extremist new socialist democratic party is running the show. take a look.
mr. johnson? thank you, general whitaker, do you agree with the presidentt the russian investigation is a witch hunt? as i mentioned previously, congressman, i think it would be inappropriate for me to comment about an ongoing investigation. well, you ve commented about the roger stone investigation, which is ongoing. did you not? congressman, just to be clear about this this comment, we heard you comment on the roger stone investigation. why would you comment on the roger stone investigation but you are reluctant to answer our questions about the mueller investigation? that s a good question, congressman. my comments about the roger stone investigation were merely to acknowledge that i was aware that cnn had appeared to receive or was but you don t know whether or not cnn reporters were camped out with no advanced knowledge or whether or not he was tipped off or not. congressman, that is true, but let me move on.
you can really rise to the occasion and in a situation like this and try to move forward. you will see tomorrow a little bit as the democrats feel like maybe they should come to the table with something for the president when he talks about common sense solutions and a bipartisan agreement on national security, those are things that everyone should be able to agree on. tucker: it s interesting. do you think very quickly the presidentt can move off of his pretty bottom line promise, no wall, no deal? i ve always felt the president doesn t get enough credit from his base for all the things he s done so far. for example, he now has example, people seeking asylum having to wait that out in mexico. that was the deal to the department of homeland security, secretary nielsen was able to et dget done. didn t get enough attention. there s a lot of things the president has done to move forward. i think you should get more credit for that from his base but t if they ve decided it must be a ph
effectively in the days before. no, it takes weeks to plan a presidential visit. ben also the criticisms of his time there. anyone can see the video the troops are excited to see the commander-in-chief, but they re particularly happy in seeing trump, and i can understand why. people are saying well, the policy speech he gave wasn t enough for us too much or what was in political. he never gets any credits and this is not new. and speaking of making it political, you guys listen to this. it is a campaign slogan and that the campaign item.po i m sure their bosses see that, t ey re not going to be happy about that. the presidentt has to take some ownership about this. when he s around military audiences, he brings in
