nina s got a lot of ideas for the future. and since anyone can create a free plan at fidelity, nina has a plan based on what matters most to her. and she can simply focus on right now. that s the planning effect. from fidelity. tomorrow morning, members say the house republican steering committee will meet to select committee assignments. by this time tomorrow night we could learn about the deals. carol: kevin mccarthy made. some of the agreement is public knowledge. what do we know about the side deals? gop leaders are not committing to releasing a public list of every concession kevin mccarthy made in his quest to become speaker. despite the fact that they have called for a more open and transparent government. some of the concessions were explicitly spelled out in the house rules package, which republicans did pass last night with the support of every republican except for one. some of the other promises that were made were done through more of a handshake deal. go
reasoning of what the news that we heard about pence, so i m just not going to comment from here. i m not going to comment on any other former elected official, current elected official, i refer you to the department of justice, anything that relates to this white house, i would refer you to the office. the abrams tank, john kirby says it s expensive to maintain, operate, fuel, and requires a lot of training. does this white house still have those same concerns when it comes to providing tanks to the ukrainians? as my dod colleagues have said very recently that again, nothing to preview from here, certainly don t have anything to share, but they never ruled out tanks, just want to make that very clear. i think what my colleagues at the dod have said in the past and recently is that there were always challenges with tanks, but not going to preview anything. i think i would refer you to the dod comments on this. always been challenges, never been taken off the table. i don
