deal. is he wavering on this deal based on the pressure from the europeans with boris johnson here? the president will make an announcement on what his decision is soon. as you know, he has few days to do that and we ll let you know when he is ready to make a decision on it. and general kercar john kerr diplomacy, how does that impact the situation? i don t think it impacts it at all. the president spoke out about that pretty clearly and i don t think that we would take advice from somebody who created what the president sees to be one of the worst deals ever made. i m not sure why we would start listening to him now. thank you, sarah. back to gina haspel, her confirmation hearing is on wednesday. it is an open hearing before the senate intelligence committee. are there any questions that are off-limits from the white house s point of view as relates to her career at the cia? we think that acting director haspel is a highly qualified uniquely positioned individual
should we should be concerned about the fact that democratic norms, ideals and institutions are really being challenged in ways that we haven t seen i don t think ever in this country. and john mccain recognizes that. so i think the idea of civility on top of the bipartisanship and compromise and trying to accomplish legislative goals for the good of the country is something that we re desperately missing because it becomes the trump show every day with all of the days on and all of the things that are going on. and i think that john mccain rightfully is trying to leave a legacy of civility and bipartisan because we need to get back to that. the course we re on is unsustainable. and the fact that donald trump personally insulted john mccain s record forgetti gettin captured is pretty much what started this and i wouldn t blame john mccain s family for not wanting donald trump there,
