he would make an announcement shormt. do you have any timeline on when that will be? when he s ready to make it. if the president has evidence that the fbi director lied under oath, what is he waiting for? i think he made it clear on friday that will he will get back on this. what is he waiting for? what s the delay? he laid out his position very clearly, concisely on friday. so, sean spicer, everybody s whacked sean spicer and they should have. he has done a horrible job in many respects. and sidestepping. when you don t have the information, you say i don t have the information. they keep pressing. and he stayed calm. when are we going to find out? when the president wants you to find out. but he said last week in the rose garden. well, you ll know when we don t ask much more of our press secretaries. be respectful to the press, which people do say off camera he s very respectful to them.
kelly, first to you. why are we not hearing from the white house where the president stands on climate change? reporter: there is a history and a record on twitter and as a candidate. if he does not believe a new deal should be negotiated, what does he actually believe? in the past he has derided the notion of climate change, he s called it a hoax. the white house just does not want to engage on this issue. it s hard to imagine that a decision in this scope in conversations with scott pruitt that he was sharing with us the many opinions brought in for the president, yet the white house won t tell us what the president s core belief is about the science itself and the nature of what is changing on the planet and in our condition. so if he wants to do something different, we don t know what basis upon which he s acting. so they are clearly not asking the president to give a clearance, or they sidestepping, responding to us if they actually know. that s all politics, not wanting

open-minded and more familiar with the constitution and the definition of what it is to be an american. you know, they are not at all interested in seeing a donald trump nomination. so besides which of course he can t win the national election, so it s a pointless endeavor to put him in as a nominee. further more, i would not be surprised, anderson, if you see very soon presidential candidates on the republican sidestepping up to the plate and saying we are not going to support donald trump if he is the nominee. i suspect that s going to start happening fairly soon and that will make will change we ve seen some of that. representative to say well. representative could i add into this? what i want to say, ask you, it seems like support is coming from grass roots from donald trump, a lot of establishment conservatives are pushing back. do you think their opinion doesn t really matter in all this, that the power of center is shifting to the folks who
