Bill that youre watching this week. Youre watching live coverage here on cspan2. Good morning, everybody. Were here to talk about the gains that were made in the National Defense authorization act through the continuous persistent and principled relentless efforts of americas House Freedom caucus and other members of the conference to improve the bill and stop the Biden Administrations injection of politics and wokeness into the military. So a major win for the American People and against the Biden Administration in representative jacksons amendment being passed that upholds the value of life and we think that is that is meaningful. We also are wanting to recognize and acknowledge the tremendous colonel of senator tuberville in his efforts and to let him know while hes been leading the charge, reinforcements are here in the house and the rest of the senate should be motivated to help him in that effort as well. And so finally, let you know that the House Freedom caucus, americas Freedo

Hope hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for covid19, the president wrote in that tweet tonight. In the tweet we had up on the screen, he went on to say, the first lady and i are waiting for our test results. Waiting for our test results, more on that in a moment. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process. Thats all we have been left with. Remember, this president in the white house has, including traveling with him, the white house physicians office. They are usually activeduty military, and they are physicians, more than one, to service the president , Vice President , members of the first family, even senior staff, and especially when the white house is on the road. We are hoping for a fuller statement from the White House Medical Office on the test results tonight. We have reason to believe the president and first lady were initially tested hours ago now, perhaps in the 9 00 p. M. Hour eastern time. We have rea
His family, extraordinary success. Great doctor, great everything. He has to listen to the abuse he has to if i were him, actually, in many ways id love to be him. But the fact is, i wouldnt do it. I wouldnt do it. What does he need it for . To be abused by a bunch of politician that arent thinking nicely about our country . I really dont think personally he should do it. Its totally his. I would stand behind him. Totally his decision. Okay.

Before his nomination, he was most famous for his remarkably rosy assessment of the president s health which

White house delivered a full throated endorsement of jackson. Lets begin with the state visit and what we just heard from President Trump. Kaitlan collins is at the white house. President trump right out of the gate, during what was just a photoop with Emmanuel Macron, issues a warning to iran. What did he say . Reporter it was a stunning moment there in the oval office, President Trump was seated next to president macron, theyre just now getting down to business, they had a big ceremony with the pomp and circumstance. And, of course, on the agenda for them to discuss is the iran deal. Now, president macron, part of his mission while hes here today, is to convince President Trump to have the United States stay in that deal, but things do not look good for that prospect, based upon what we just heard from President Trump here in the oval office. Were going to be talking about it. Well see. People know my views on the iran deal. It was a terrible deal. Should have never, ever been made.
