on either side about president trump being here. yes, savannah sellers there with mariano atensio at the white house correspondents dinn dinner. we are going to the washington township, michigan, rally where he is talking about the russian investigati investigation. and it is even more chaotic, and look at what has happened. look at how the politicians have fallen for this junk russian collusion. give me a break. i will tell yu that the only collusi i will tell you that the only collusion is the democrats colluding with a lot of people, and a lot of people, and take a look at the intelligence agency, and what about hey, did you watch comey on the interviews? hey, hey. what about comey? what about comey? how about that? so, comey, how about this guy comey.
nuclear proliferation. well, the live report from the red carpet and much more from the correspondents dinner much more ahead, and joining us is our guests. let me start with you, jay, if i could and get your reaction to the president not showing up, and i confess that i was at the dinner last year and the show went on and a huge purpose of this is to raising money for the scholarships for young people who are interested in journalism journalisma ajournalism and that part of the program persists. well, the president says he is a populist and a man of the people, and go out to be with the deplorables that hillary clinton coined when she said that more than half of his supporters were a basket of deplorab deplorables, and that became a
