affect people s lives and policy, you are welcome on new day. . sean spicer, white house press secretary, made a stunning statement yesterday about hitler. you know you had someone who is despicable as hitler who didn t even sink to using chemical weapons. okay. so spicer has sense apologized, but is it enough? new taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov but there s so much more to it. here s how benefiber® works. inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. the prebiotic fiber in benefiber®
but at the end of the day, we re left with some confusion as to what is the trump s red line. i saw one estimate, the syrian network of civil rights, the regime dropped more than 13,000 barrel bombs in 2013 alone. that s 13,000 a day. a barrel bomb is something that has a crude explosive on it, something that s dumped out of a helicopter, that that would provoke a tack would be much different than that attack last week. so spicer spoke a bit about barrel bombs, but if that s true, he did it three times in a row at this press briefing, they are saying that the posture toward syria hasn t changed, they are not ruling out any
effect. how could there be 14 million people without healthcare when only 9 million have signed up for obamacare on the exchanges? when given the opportunity for buy healthcare for a good value, why wouldn t they do that? they don t have insurance. i mentioned this before. having a card and having coverage, that when you walk into a doctor s office has a deductible, 15, $12,000 a year isn t coverage. that s a card. so spicer is saying for a lot of americans, they don t have the choice. they ve got healthcare coverage, but they don t have in a sense healthcare. shep, their premiums are so high, they can t afford to pay them. or maybe their deductibles are so high they can t afford to go to a doctor. sometimes they roll into a hospital and that costs everybody money. the president yesterday when he was meeting with his cabinet said this is going to be one big
quote, for a moment, because the president did not use oquotatio marks in this one. how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. this is nixon watergate, bad or sick guy. all right, so spicer s explanation doesn t hold up there. no, i don t see any air quotes in that tweet. i mean, he you know, president trump has been using twitter for years to communicate. he thinks to communicate quite effectively and directly to voters and americans. he was not, as near as we can tell, suggesting this was an iffy proposition. he had a clear accusation to make about wiretapping. he had a clear hit to make in calling president obama a bad or sick guy. what he didn t have was any kind of evidence to back up the use of the word wiretapping. and you have to wonder, god, does president trump sort of understand what the word wiretapping mean? the implications of that? this is a dangerous path for the white house to go down.
two-way street. like we want to we to want have a healthy dialogue not just with you, but the american people. because he s fighting for jobs, he s fighting to make this country safer, but when you re constantly getting told they can t be true. we doubt that you can do this, this won t happen. and that s the narrative when you turn on television every single day. it s a little frustrating. reporter: and steve, part of the criticism that spicer and the administration got over the weekend was there was this sense that they were playing small ball. and i think there s been a real attempt to try to turn the page on that today. we saw that. president trump meeting with ceos today, he also met with union leaders, he signed a number of executive orders including around tpp announcing his intention to pull out of the tpp trade deal. that multi-national trade deal that president obama was trying to enact, but of course had not yet been approved by congress which gives president trump the au
