1. 0:07Is it April? April. All right. Thank
2. 0:10you. Um Sean,
3. 0:13don't seem so happy. Um you're like, "Go
4. 0:16ahead." Anyway, um with all of these
5. 0:19investigations,
6. 0:21questions of what is is, how does this
7. 0:25administration
8. 0:27try to revamp its image? Two and a half
9. 0:29months in, you got this Yates story
10. 0:31today. You've got other things going on.
11. 0:33You got Russia, you've got you got
12. 0:35wiretapping, you got No, we don't have
13. 0:37that. You you you on Capitol Hill. No,
14. 0:40no, I I get it. But you keep I I've said
15. 0:42it from the day that I got here until
16. 0:45whatever that there is no connection.
17. 0:47You've got Russia. If the president puts
18. 0:49Russian salad dressing on his salad
19. 0:51tonight, somehow that's a Russian
20. 0:53connection. But every single person No,
21. 0:55I Well, no, that's I appreciate your
22. 0:58agenda here, but the reality is Oh, no,
23. 1:00no, hold on. No. At some point, report
24. 1:02the facts. The facts are that every
25. 1:04single person who has been briefed on
26. 1:06this subject has come away with the same
27. 1:08conclusion, Republican, Democrat. So,
28. 1:10I'm sorry that that disgusts you. You're
29. 1:12shaking your head. I appreciate it, but
30. 1:14but okay. But understand this that at
31. 1:17some point, the facts are what they are.
32. 1:19And every single person who has been
33. 1:21briefed on the situation with respect to
34. 1:24the the situation with Russia,
35. 1:25Republican, Democrat, Obama appointee,
36. 1:28career, have all come to the same
37. 1:30conclusion. At some point, April, you're
38. 1:33going to have to take no for an answer
39. 1:34with respect to whether or not there was
40. 1:36collusion. How do you change the
41. 1:38perception of of We're going to keep
42. 1:40doing everything we're doing to make
43. 1:42sure that the president's that what the
44. 1:44president told the American people he
45. 1:45was going to do to fulfill those pledges
46. 1:47and promises that he made to bring back
47. 1:49jobs, to grow the economy, to keep our
48. 1:52nation safe. That's what he's been
49. 1:54focused on since day one. We're going to
50. 1:55keep focusing on that every single day.
51. 1:58Comes Friday, Kanye Rice did not support
52. 2:00this president. Um she did not go to the
53. 2:02convention. she comes what is on the
54. 2:04agenda and and how is their relationship
55. 2:07has it healed since 2006 when he used a
56. 2:10very negative word to describe here's
57. 2:12what I'll tell you it's interesting that
58. 2:13you ask those two questions back to back
59. 2:16on the one hand you're saying what are
60. 2:17we doing to improve our image and then
61. 2:19here he is once again meeting somebody
62. 2:21uh that hasn't been a big supporter of
63. 2:23his hold on negative but April hold on
64. 2:27you you it seems like you're hellbent on
65. 2:30trying to make sure that whatever image
66. 2:32you want to hell about this White House
67. 2:34stays because at the end of the day, let
68. 2:36me answer
69. 2:38but you know what you're asking me a
70. 2:39question and I'm going to answer it
71. 2:40which is the president I'm sorry please
72. 2:42stop shaking your head again but at some
73. 2:45point the reality is that this president
74. 2:46continues to reach out to individuals
75. 2:48who've supported him who didn't support
76. 2:50him Republicans Democrats to try to
77. 2:52bring the country together and move
78. 2:53forward on an agenda that's going to
79. 2:55help every American. That's it plain and
80. 2:56simple. So if you're asking what we're
81. 2:58doing, I think we continue to do it,
82. 3:00which is to bring groups together that
83. 3:02have been supportive of them, that
84. 3:03haven't been supportive of them, but
85. 3:05that to share a goal, which is finding
86. 3:07common ground on areas of national
87. 3:10security, of personal security, of
88. 3:12economic security, of job creation, of
89. 3:14safer communities, of education, of
90. 3:17health care that can unite us as a
91. 3:19country and make the country stronger.
92. 3:21About Russia until Friday. I I think
93. 3:23they're I'm not ready to to when they
94. 3:25when we're done with that, we'll see if
95. 3:26we can have a readout. I I believe I
96. 3:29understand that we're not at Friday yet.
97. 3:31I will have a readout when that's done.
98. 3:33I know the pool needs to get to the uh
99. 3:35the vans for the for the signing. Thank
100. 3:37you. I'll be back tomorrow. We're going
101. 3:38to do five days in a row this week,
102. 3:40ladies and gentlemen.
