and alfonso, president of the la tee notice partnership for conservative principles. he was the former chief of the u.s. office of citizenship of george w. bush. a mean, gosh, i almost want to say will the real lindsey graham please stand up. we asked that question about the president yesterday. what is going on with lindsey graham? it s really incredible because i think that lindsey gram has obviously someone been critical of the president. in some ways i think that the republican party as a whole finds itself having to continuously in some ways dance around the fact that donald trump is still president and that they have to get things done. so is this how you do it, daniel la? is this how you go about it? on one day you slam him or don t agree with him and the next day it s all political strategy, i agree with him? i guess that s what they re going to have to do. i m a little sad for him.
floating this notion that if bob mueller tread too closely, that he might go ahead and fire him too because he already fired the fbi director and maybe he would risk it. so where we really we were stunned yesterday because the president once again sort of bucked the advice that any lawyer would give him and gave this. so i would not rule out that trump is seriously are considering firing mueller. on sessions, it seems me interesting. it s almost as if he wanted to back sessions into a corner and see if he could get sessions to quit. yeah. rather than being forced to fire him. yaul. and we ll see what happens with that and whether or not he s going to feel like he s going to have to do that at some point. though today he said not. daniel la, take a listen i want to talk about the political aspects of this and how republicans are reacting. take a listen to orrin hatch a little bit earlier today. what s your reaction to that? i mean, he says the fbi director basically works
comment on it other than that i think he needs to be a little bit more careful about what he says. the gop viewed the tarmac meeting between bill clinton and loretta lynch last year as highly inappropriate. now it seems like their response to things that a lot of is people consider to be inappropriate is just, mau, daniel la. exactly right. you know, that seems to be the reaction generally speaking from republicans when it comes to trump. they re willing to let things slide that if a democratic president had tried to do it, there is absolutely no way that republicans would not be howling at the moon and saying how inappropriate it is. you know, republicans are willing to look the other way when it comes to what trump is doing because they want to pass their ridiculous policies through koeng and they think they need him in the white house to do that. i m really waiting to see when republicans are going to put the country before their party. what does this mean for conservatives, m
we re developing a near 100-year supply of natural gas. that s something that we expect could support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade. and that s why we ve worked with the private sector to develop a high-tech car battery that costs half as much as other batteries and can go up to 300 miles on a single charge. think about that. that will save you some money at the pump. and that is why we are helping companies like this one right here and plants like this one right here to make more cars and trucks that use less oil. when i ran for office, i went to detroit and gave a speech to automakers where i promised that i was going to raise fuel standards on our cars so that they d go further on a gallon of gas. i said we should do the same thing on trucks. i have to tell you when i said it, i didn t get a lot of applause in the room because there was a time when automakers were resisting higher fuel standards, because change isn t easy. but you know what? after three d
