the epa administratoadministrat secretary took a flight on a private jet on an itinerary widely available commercially. is something the president said or done to set the tone this is okay? not at all. i think the president s been clear about his position by stating clearly that he is not thrilled with the airplane use at this point. two things. one, make sure i understand the extent of the review process here into price and others? you said hhs review, is there a white house component, is price looking that or anyone accuses? for hhs specifically conducting an internal review and i.g. review. the white house is looking at more of an overall not specific to that department, because there s already two reviews taking place there. also, sarah, the president said would donate personal funds, i think $1 million to
of the flag, and the national anthem. that s not going to change, and follow-up sarah, wait, to clarify. one second to clarify on that. i don t think there s much to clarify tlvlgts is. because this is a big issue. pretty black and white. it is is a racial issue for some people and the question is, when the military issue is brought in, the military goes and fights for the freedoms of this nation. and the players are saying they are thankful for the military service to allow them to have the freedoms to do this. i mean is there some kind of confusion here or is it us versus them kind of scenario? certainly shouldn t be. as i ve said several times before this, this isn t an us versus them. this is something that brings our country together. these are symbols of what our country stands for, and this should be the opposite of what that is. this should be a very unifying moment when the national anthem plays, all americans should be proud to stand up, salute that flag, salute
flag. support the national anthem. there s nothing wrong with having pride in the united states. this president s been very clear on that and certainly not going to back away from it. follow-up. so the nfl players what we re hearing, it s not about not having pride. saying they re patriots love the country but challenging the system. looking at history like the challenge of, of the system when it cams to women s rights issues as well as civil rights. what does the president say when you look at history and see how people love this country but wanted to challenge the system to make it better? i think if we re going to look at history we should look at the thousands of americans who have given their life to protect that flag, to protect that anthem. we should be celebrating those people? i gave you a chance to answer. finish your statement. sorry. okay. look at every way to bring our country together not ways to divide it. the president is simply talking about what we re for, not
of july weekend where we honor all the things that make the u.s. a special place. certainly freedom of the press is one of those elements that makes the country celebrate on a fourth of july weekend. so the president s feud has come to life in his twitter feed, with the video that he put out and what he said to those gathered last night in washington. richard? thank you so much, kelly. nbc s kelly o donnell in new jersey. following the holiday break, president trump heads to germany to participate in the g20 summit. that s the gathering of the world s top economic powers. russia will be in attendance, as president trump is expected to have his first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladamir putin there. the topic of russian interference in the presidential election has dominated much of the trump administration s first 164 days in office. joining us now, sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner, and ken vogel from the new york times. sar
poppy? sarah, from the surveillance video, we can play a little more of it for our viewers. what are the authorities trying to glean from it? what do they believe they can learn from it? if we look at the video, and i know you ve seen it yourself as well, if you look at it, you can see a lot of details about what he looks like, but also the kind of weapon that he s using. i m sure they are looking into that, as well. where did the weapon come from? what kind of weapon is it? they are going to be asking everybody and anybody who was around and in this club if they knew this person, if they recognized this person. the closer they can get to figuring out who he is, of course, the closer they can get to trying to find him. they are in a major manhunt. the deputy prime minister said this. he said, we are not going to let this person breathe in the new year. in other words, we re going to be hot on his trail. there was a lot of confusion at the beginning as to what happens
