To discuss new details of the framework to mclellan specific rates for individual Small Businesses and corporations and discuss the elimination of loopholes to raise the current tax code in favor of the wealthy and wellconnected and give our workers the level Playing Field they deserve they will win because nobody can beat the American Worker they will deliver a massive job creation and Economic Growth we are confident the people will be excited for what we are proposing will working to grow the economy the president will sign a river idem to ensure their power to succeed this means that Technical College but more than half of the schools not currently offer courses in Computer Programming and 40 to not offer physics.

Second to establish a goal of 200 million per year of grant funds as a priority. Finally it directs the secretary to explore administrative action to increase its focus on Computer Science with existing post secondary programs as of the heels of the executive order to give americans the opportunity to learn while they learn and receive skills training to put them on the path of for. The president believes it is our responsibility to give students minorities and women every opportunity to succeed. He is taking action to ensure they as of quality to the high quality Stem Education they deserve it is important to the Underserved Community so september 25th is the anniversary of little rock high school. To call in the Arkansas National guard to watch those nine black students into the all white school one of those recalls they move closer and closer somebody started to yell i try to see if it was a friendly face somebody who could help for gore looked into the face of old woman who seemed kind but when i looked her again she spat on me. Now is a new student at central high i watch my president ial end governor open those same doors. Those same students they are american heroes who courageously advance racial equality and as President Trump has said racism is evil with no place in our country one of the highest achieving schools of arkansas is a testimony to how far we have come in the last 60 years from is not for president or his administration but theres work to do we need better schools to provide a safer and more prosperous future for every american so working to make America Great again as actions continue to show and with that i will take your questions. The president has strong views about standing for the National Anthem so given the response he has been given in the last 48 hours so does the president regrets at all to describe these players to take a knee as the sob who should be fired . To read this is about the president and millions of americans to be for honoring our flag and National Anthem and men and women who fought to defend it. The former chairman said it best is important to remember the military is entirely of volunteers it takes a special kind of patriotism for people to volunteer to risk their lives it is not blind to pretend there is nothing wrong with the country every man and woman in uniform knows there is work to be done to achieve equality and opportunity and justice for all which we aspire with every member of the military also knows what is right about america is worth defending and worth honoring. So i just told the athletes were using the album as a protest understand why people like we continue to keep standing not because we agree with everything america has done or has been done in americas name but despite all of that the world is a better place because america exists that is worth the honor of respect during the National Anthem. But his position for his service to this great nation that did the of president go too far to describe describe them as sob to be punished. There is right for the president to defend the five and National Anthem and for those who fought to defend it. So using twitter as our platform over the last 72 hours of doctor oz boards and kneeling and even nascar are you surprised but not yet one thing about puerto rico so what messages to sending . He is not emphasizing sports it is the entire message is something that should be unified to promote patriotism and our country should bring people together when it comes to puerto rico the president has sent both the administrator and the adviser of plan security to puerto rico today there on the ground to assess the damage we have had Unprecedented Movement in terms of funding and we will continue to do so everything that we can possibly to provide assistance. Synthesizing will bring americans together successes he stand behind that rally or the First American citizen to call them a the son of a bitch . It is right for the president to promote our flag and National Anthem. I answered your question. The foreign minister said to be declaring war on north korea and reserves the right for the Counter Measures so does the white house view President Trumps comments. We have not declared war on north korea frankly that suggestion is absurd. Even with downed u. S. Aircraft . It is never prepare for a country to shoot down and other countries aircraft over International Water the goal is the seat the same that is our focus through the most back some of pressures as possible. Are they all day s. O. B. . It isnt the president being against something adult the president being for something and of for respecting our country like the National Anthem and the hundreds of thousands that standard vs. A few hundred that may neil. Then it with many of these games black people were not being treated fairly. Eight the focus has long since changed and that message and what has been communicated. From the podium you have expressed frustration like tax reform our health care so what does the but the president decide he would spend so much time talking about the flag and doesnt that distract from what you are trying to accomplish Like Health Care or the showdown with north korea . Is certainly dont think im talking about the flag is a distraction from the president of the United States it should be something every american can get behind and celebrate is National Pride in our country for those that have fought in the fight to defend them from all different backgrounds so that should be a priority of the president but continuing to push forward on tax reform on health care. So that was the point. I am not sure when that decision was made but it is a priority for the president to always defend our flag and National Anthem and the men and women of in uniform. As the president called in deliver coal . They spoke on friday but theyre looking for a second call for congratulations. Bayer just working on though logistics. Plan was a the president briefed does he have a final plan . He has had a few conversations with members of his team and those will continue with those specifics. With that l. A. Times reporter the president was sworn to not to provoke him and in particular in the united nations. The l. A. Times said the president was warda not to provoke because that could backfire and that could be viewed as a declaration of war . I would push back on that story but that did say false there if the National Security team was involved and engaged throughout the speech writing process there were very happy with his speech at the u. N. So fighting Police Brutality youre not taking him at his word but when white supremacist but they did take them at their word so why is there a disparity of who gets to decide what the protest is about . I think it is really about brutality they should probably protect those officers instead of the American Flag. This morning talking about health care whether the interactions today . I would invite them but what is the thought today . Whether or not there is a vote and what they campaigned on is to repeal and replace obamacare we go we can no longer live with the status quo as it is a disaster we hope this goes through. Continuing to be engaged in. Tomorrow he is going to york what is he doing tomorrow . There is a fundraising dinner ill get back to with specifics. This is a physically for the president to repeal a and replace obamacare so today was focused as far as the president is concerned on the nfl can you explain how that is helpful when the president spent so much time on that issue involving sports . To make it doesnt take that long to tie the 140 characters he can do more than one thing at a time in more than one thing in a day. Or the president speaks you can see the majority of the questions that have announced a review today are of this he has a tremendous amount of power when he speaks so he does take away from the legislative agenda. I do not agree because it is important for pay president to show patriotism secretary cursive and recently voiced his disagreement the president and Vice President salema a question is about personal is uh family free to disagree . A the president has a lot of people from a lot of backgrounds with the variety of opinions on that specific issue i could not talk to him because i have not spoken to him about that. As a spokeswoman for the state department i think this is important because the Prime Minister is meeting with the president tomorrow saying that the west took no position from october 1st about separating in becoming a separate country and i hope they will work from what comes out of that. How wide spread . To my knowledge very limited instructing the staff to use Government Official email for business we get distracted on this regularly. So was the of white house aware of crisis travel . What about this type of conduct . With the white house approved travel with the department of hhs and with the internal and ig review. Ended is it ever appropriate to spend taxpayer money on private planes . There are certain instances but that has to be done on a case by case basis. If they are now looking back at that . I could not speak to that. So with bad refugee announcement. Can you give us the sense . And to describe the way to work for to look forward. Lme we have those details were happy to share them. It will be soon when that is finalized. Where it Immigration Reform with a specific principles. Probably in the coming days. Are you encouraging . En the message is that of Police Brutality and that doesnt seem very appropriate to protest the American Flag i am not sure how those could be combined. [inaudible] we hope for a unified iraq to annihilate isis and to push back on iran. The way the travel order that countries have to meet a minimum baselines requirement over the last period of time the way the United States has laid out. And for lawmakers. [inaudible] not at all without process pushing through billions of dollars a they have fought for as savage said earlier they are on the ground to use a deeper assessment the focus still continues to be on the lifesaving efforts which are still currently under way and are available and as we have insight of reassessment that is the factfinding process. And with that Corporate Tax rate. There are certain details that are finalized on wednesday. [inaudible] again the response has that the unprecedented level me will continue to do that of president asks to go on the ground to come back and give a list of what is needed so we can turn around quickly. So they want to make sure that funding is provided that they are finding the correct things. A former white house official was on the cspan. [inaudible] do they support that . As i said many times before due to the political nature of the question i will not way in specifically on a race. Sova talks about loyalty to the republicans vote does he feel those to work in the white house should go along . The president feels that they supported the agenda and to push that agenda and the reason the of president was elected and to make that successful. So what was releasing two jeered releasing personal emails . I have not been a part of that conversation. I will not get into that conversation that has not taken place. So with the president and the flag to defend the constitution he doesnt have a problem with the First Amendment . Not all. Stating pride in our country is a good day in and should bring us together and not divide us. So just to followup why is it the president is seeming to go after that is geared toward say different demographic whether to stand in honor and respect of the flag. Not at all the president talking about race and pride in our country and joining together to honor our service members. This is a cultural reference. [inaudible conversations]. Was a little stunned this was the origins of the school bus as i prepare for my 1994 trip going 44 different states. Over those appearances later 144 times later on the anniversary year of the cspan bus as he set out to visit all 50 state capitals thank you for that idea.
