indira, let s talk about it s an unduly busy september because we have a budget resolution that has to occur otherwise the government shuts down. we have the aftermath of harvey which is going to be expensive. we have a president who until harvey hit was talking about allowing the government to shut down so he can get funding for the budget wall. that s urgent stuff to get done. the president started touring around the country discussing tax reform which there isn t any meat on those bones either. tell me how you see the next few weeks proceeding. i think it s going to be difficult for the president because he has his list of things, his want to dos and must dos. for the the president knows are personal. about fulfilling the age for the american people. and that of course means the base and the wall. pan he osk threatened to shut down the government over the wall. don t forget. he said that mexico was going to pay for it. now it seems the american people ....
