The state shautdown mandate. Were joined by Maura Barrett who is with us from just outside allentown, pa where the president will visit tomorrow. Maura, specifically where are you. I guess theres nothing preventing a factory speech from, as weve seen, becoming a kind of a mini rally speech at the same time. Reporter briern, thats exactly what Business Owners here tell me that theyre concerned about. Were just outside of allentown, geographically very close to new jersey and new york which have seen a lot of spikes in cases over the past couple weeks. As weve been talking to Business Owners in the area, theyre frustrated its become a red versus blue argument. President trump coming to town, literally asserting himself into that argument along with the tweet earlier this week saying hes also looking for pennsylvania to reopen. The democratic governor pushing back against counties looking to reopen. The Lehigh County commission that oversees the immediate area looking to help businesses p

Deal making with the democrats on immigration. If there is amnesty delivered into the package, i dont know that any candidate could run for president again and make a promise and expect the people to accept that promise at face value. And this question. Why . The president reopens the wounds of charlottesville, defending his words defending the counter demonstrators and neonazis and the white nationalists. A lot of people are saying and have written that trump might have a point. I said you have bad people on the other side also, which is true. We begin in london in the terror attack that sent nearly two dozen people to the hospital. This exploded in an underground tube in rush hour. They are saying a timer was found on it, suggesting the bomb was intended to cause much greater damage. Witnesses said they heard an explosion and saw flames and panicked. The people on the next carriage heard the bang and saw the flash. Everyone panicked and ran and there was blood and burns and a lot of
What are you learning . Thats right, john. This is another example of the white house putting pressure on the department of justice and sessions to do something about the fbi. The axios report says at the urging of the president sessions told the fbi director chris wray that he wanted the Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe fired and in turn, the fbi director threatened to resign over the issue.

The president has been clear. He thinks the deal is one of the worst weve seen and well keep you posted when hes made a final decision on that front. When did the president first hear of this . Was it in early march when he spoke to the Prime Minister . Im not aware of the exact date that the president was made aware, but we were the white house and the president were made aware prior to israels announcement yesterday. Lastly, was this coordinated yesterday with the white house . Did netanyahu say give you a heads up and say this is coming . This was something that the israelis did. However, they did give us a heads up that it was going to take place prior to the announcement. The president said this morning there was no question on collusion, but when you look at the specific questions about outr
