So ill send it back to you, david. >> kelly, let me ask you quickly if i could, having read the pool reports, i know many reporters have tried to ask president trump when theyve had these fleeting few minutes with him about michael cohen, hes nod or dismissed their question. certainly its something hes not going to be able to avoid at this news conference as he takes questions from the american press. >> reporter: well, david, im hearing all of the control room discussion in addition to your voi...

A new thing, its like a ping-pong ball, in the middle of this they want an answer from the president. whats your strategy? whats the endgame? and where are you willing to compromise? what are you willing to take? >> the president will definitely get grilled on all of those things when he goes into the senate lunch and i thought it was interesting based on the pool reports that were seeing that the president for the first times did start addressing some of the concerns that democrats and some mod...

Coward and leave heidi the hell alone. >> just a little, you know, trip down memory lane for you. so when we watch these two share a stage tonight, what will happen? jim acosta certainly saw his fair share of that rivalry during the 2016 campaign. number one, great to see you in person. >> you, too. >> first of all, theres a lot of back and forth, lyin ted, and ted cruz push back, but at the end of the day, this is politics and these are two men who want to get things done. should we be that sur...
