What are you expecting tonight . Its kind of remarkable how tied he is to everything that is happening here. Well see what that looks like once israel go into gaza, as we expect them to do. Obviously as kayla was noting, this is going to be a bigger speech on multiple fronts, ukraine, taiwan, democracy period, and how the u. S. Helping these countries fight these fights keeps u. S. Troops out of it, keeps the u. S. Out of it to a degree. But he is so closely tied to this. He came here yesterday and sat in on a Cabinet Meeting. Not just any Cabinet Meeting be, ah wartime Cabi
Watching it that the president said that he opposed the bill. following that, leadership on capitol hill reached out to the white house, confused, upset about what the president had seemed to say. it took nine hours for the white house to put out that on the record statement correcting the record. wolf? very interesting. pamela, thank you very much. pamela brown over at the white house. let s dig deeper. our analysts are standing by right now. abby phillip is with us. you are one of our white house reporters. you were there when the president walked out on the north lawn of the white house. walk us through what happened. it was incredibly surreal. watching the president walk from the back way of the white house up the front lawn is something that none of us had ever seen any president really do before. frankly, several white house aides moments before the president walked out were telling us not to expect him to come out. they did not believe that he would actually come out to th
