let s talk about some of these bombshells. in terms to have the wiretapping, mr. trump s claims that president obama had his headquarters, mr. trump s headquarters, wiretapped. james comey seemed to put that to rest yesterday. he said that neither he nor the department of justice can see any evidence. is that it? is that now over? was that the end yesterday, when james comey said that, or whether congress continue to investigate these claims? you know, i don t think congress was ever interested in investigating these claims, because there was no there there. we had republicans and democrats, chairs and ranking members on both sides of the house and the senate coming forward and saying, there is no evidence. the only problem is, is you have a white house that is in denial. and the president never, ever steps back. he never apologizes. and i think the result is, is that this denial is going to continue to fester. well, his press spokesperson
admiral rogers, and we have nothing on the wiretapping and there s no basis for president trump fingering the white house or obama, and the white house still insists there s still plenty to know? excuse me, you have the nsa and fbi tkrbgter saying no, and you have the white house live tweeting, and congress coming back and saying they just said you said something, and they said what the white house is saying is correct. this case is closed and sean spicer has his head in the sand, and the question i have going forward nobody is asking, chris, and periodically the president of the united states sits down every couple of weeks with the fbi and asks what threats do you see?
illegal immigration and sort of changing at least, you know, the tone and also the direction of how illegal aliens are going to be addressed in the country but to harris point, yeah, we didn t see a day without immigrants when president obama was breaking records in deportations. more deportations than any other president in history. i actually think there is a danger in some of the hyperbole we are seeing in the left. chris matthews made the point after the election. chris matthews msnbc very liberal. hillary clinton never came out against illegal immigration and it hurt her. the democratic party jess jess they don t want to talk about it. there is a danger politically in doing that. let me push back where there may be some appropriate push back from democrats. when you look at the new spending that s involved with president trump s approach here. 5,000 more border patrol agents. 10,000 more immigration officers. considerably more detention space. we have been talking about the b
i have to say there is a difference. the tea party got started a year or two after obama took office. and they were protesting policies like the stimulus and the bailouts and obamacare. now, the left is out there after one month, i don t think congress has passed anything. so i don t really know exactly what they are protesting there is a little bit of astro turf going on. that s fine. that s politics. like i said, i love it. sandra: what did you make of the president s tweet, meghan the so-called angry crowds in districts of these republicans in numerous cases he says planned out by liberal activists. meghan: as jesse pointed out i have been doing town hauls all my life. i love the drama of a town hall. i think incredibly important element of our democratic process. i think leaders, if you decide to run for office and get elected, have you to face your constituents on both sides. so i don t have a problem with people going. that being said, i can t even tell you how many times mov
session. our team is in constant contact with our counterpart on the hill keeping an open dialogue on all aspects of the president s agenda. last week alone, more than 40 different senator and congress members visited the white house. on the supreme court front, so far, judge neil gorsuch has met with 58 senators, 36 republicans in 22 democrats, and he has more meetings on the books for next week when the senate returns to session. we have been especially encouraged by the reception he has received from several senior democrats including senators feinstein, castor, durbin angela brann. also on the confirmation front, multiple unions came out today for alex acosta, the president s nominee for labor secretary. both the labor international union of america and the international union of operating engineers praised his distinguished career and pledged their support for his nomination. the legislative affairs team is using the congressional work period to coordinate with key coalitions in c
