yes, so as even the text of the original ba but the media re-orts -- travel bag but the media reports —— the original travel ban. those judges have used all of that peripheralm explain peripheral commentary to explain their decisions. if we turn to the claim ofa their decisions. if we turn to the claim of a president that trump tower was wiretapped during the election by his predecessor, today we have the senate intelligence committee said they do not see any indications about that following from the house intelligence committee. where does the president now have to go with his claim? we saw them pushing back and saying there are multiple examples of wiretapping. the really, there's some equivocation, because it is clear the president's tweeds earlier this month accusing president obama of literally wiretapping trump tower, he has since walked away from that claim, but does not want to admit they - wrong that claim, but does not want to admit they- wrong and so we will admit they were wrong and so we will see where it goes from here. but the senate and house panels agree they've seen no evidence from that and we are still waiting . see and we are still waiting to see evidence from the white house. seems like a self—inflicted wound. what is it the like a self—inflicted wound. what is it. the president's political it into the president's political capital one is transpersonal health care? the a lot of pressure on the white house for health care reform and any distraction might be good them because they're so much for them because they're so much pressure. but the wiretapping is not for them. the unveiling of the good for them. the unveiling of the budget today, what does that tell us about the administration's priorities? as we saw today, it was described as an america first budget and trying to stay close to what the president proposed throughout the campaign. it brings a lot of deep cuts to a lot of major departments. that translates into billions of dollars that they would like to see 9511551551“???
