business. they showed a trip to georgia where he and his wife own land in georgia, his speech wasn t until a day and a half later. in june politico says he flew to nashville to have lunch with his son who lives there. he also spent an hour touring a medication dispensary and gave a 20-minute speech at a health summary judgment. sarah sanders was asked if it s ever appropriate for cabinet officials to send money on private planes. i think there are certain instances where it is, but it has to be done on a case by case basis. federal travel regulations say officials can only my heart a plane if no commercial airline service is reasonably available. in multiple cases politico found there were indeed commercial options. including the trip from washington to nashville at a price tag of $17,000. two commercial flights were able that same morning for about 100 to $300. even more surprising were the
top that president trump has set is permeating the administration. this is arrogance run wild. it makes no sense at all that secretary price and others in the administration would be abusing private jets this way. it would have been a firing offense in the obama administration. is it okay is it fair to blame president trump on this one? the white house is pushing back saying this wasn t white house-approved travel. well, anderson, when you have a president who s announced he s going to hang onto his businesses, laiden with conflicts, and he s constantly there promoting his businesses, making money off them, it sets a tone that anything goes. and price is simply got the message and ran with it. it s not an isolated incident.
including the invasion of iraq. now we have north korea and iran with syria in waiting to get into the axis. you had david fromm who wrote that speech. let me ask you, this speech written it seems a lot of it felt like steven miller. it felt like the inauguration speech, like the nato speech. no, it wasn t that it was not dark. steven miller with nikki haley in it to even it out. it was donald trump. that s donald trump s voice. steven miller writes for donald trump. but the theme continues. right? for all of the development we think we have had in this administration, the fundamental theme to your point earlier that donald trump got elected on continues. he has not brightened up to the idea that he wants the world involved in solving these problems except where he articulates he wants the world involved in solving them. we re not a world joint together except for the list of things donald trump needs done.
syria as well. this was a speech that will certainly satisfy the president s supporters, the president s base, people that feel like the u.s. has not been tough enough in its position again so many of the rogue nations around the world, notably the president did use the phrase radical islamic terrorism, one of the favorites, not just of the president but of his speech writer and policymaker, steven miller. also a phrase that his own national security adviser h.r. mcmaster advised him against using in venues like this. we shouldn t be entirely surprised. many people s immediate reaction was this was a very domestic speech, one he should be giving to his base, not the international stage, not at the u.n., we shouldn t be surprised. america first is exactly who president trump is and it s what helped him get elected. i think that s right. on the surface, the speech wasn t as bad as many of us feared. he didn t trash the u.n. he talked about international
