there. as of last night, no response from the white house to "the washington post" on this one. what about this morning? >> that's right. we reached out to the white house press office and others, poppy here at the white house who may be able to shed light on this, including the national security counsel. so far we've gotten radio silence. also watching the president's twitter feed very closely. typically by 9:00 a.m. eastern, which is right about now, you can expect to see several tweets from the president. nothing so far. of course, as you know, the president's last tweet was about 11 hours ago out on the west coast talking about his border barrier project. and nothing since then. the president got back here a little after midnight, so it was a fairly late night for him and the people with him. also i think important to say, this is not the only thing the white house is dealing with. certainly they're dealing with the issue of iran and what to do about the strikes on the oil fields. back to you jim and poppy. >> joe johns, thanks very much. joining us to discuss this,
