[ cheers ] he's beaten up on cable platforms. he has a right to respond to. >> we need to protect freedom of the press. there is a responsibility of everyone including the president of the united states. >> the fake media is trying to silence us. we will not let them. >> just hope he grows into the job. >> what will be and won't be discussed at the g-20 summit. >> everyone wants to know whether president trump will bring up russian meddling in the

u.s. election. >> both sides are playing down expectations. >> reporter: civilians held as human shields by isis, risking death to flee from its certainty. [ gunfire ] >> soldiers and civilians alike are anticipating the fall of isis any moment now. this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." it is monday, july 3rd, 6:00 here in new york. chris is off this morning. john berman is with us. >> like independence day eve. >> yes, it is. and we will be celebrating it all morning long. here's your starting line. president trump escalating his war on the media, targeting cnn in a tweet that many leaders call juvenile at best. other members of the gop are simply speechless. at the same time the president is preparing for his first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladimir putin. sources tell cnn that syria and ukraine will be on the agenda, but no plans at the moment to bring up russia's interference in the u.s. election.

>> president trump working the phones ahead of this week's g-20 summit in germany, reaching out to world leaders about the north korean nuclear threat and fighting terrorism. all this as 29 states balk at a controversial white house request for the personal data of every registered american voter. cnn has every angle of this covered. let's begin with suzanne malveaux live at the white house. >> reporter: good morning, john. the president spending much of his day at bedminster. he'll be coming to the white house late today. he's going to be hosting military families tomorrow for the july 4th festivities. he spent much of the weekend, july 4th weekend, ramping up his attacks on the media. >> the fake media is trying to silence us. we will not let them. >> reporter: president trump escalating his ongoing war against the press, tweeting out this doctored video of himself pummelling a man with an edited cnn logo over his face.

[ cheers ] the video drawing sharp, widespread condemnation. >> incitement to violence. >> it's very disturbing. there's nothing light-hearted about it whatsoever. >> we need to protect freedom of the press. there's insisting the president is not inciting violence. >> i think that no one would perceive that as a threat. i hope they don't. i do think he's beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to. >> reporter: the president tweeting a barrage of anti-media attacks over the holiday weekend, and defending his use of social media as modern day presidential. trump even unleashing a verbal tirade at an event meant to honor america's veterans ahead of the fourth of july. >> the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house. but i'm president and they're not. >> reporter: this with the white house already on defense for the president's crude attacks on two

msnbc hosts last week. >> the president in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. if anything, quite the contrary. >> reporter: cnn responding directly to the president's latest attack. it is a sad day when the president of the united states encourages violence against reporters. clearly sarah huckabee sanders lied when she said the president had never done so. instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with vladimir putin, dealing with north korea and working on his health care bill, he's involved in juvenile behavior, far below the dignity of his office. we will keep doing our jobs. he should start doing his. health and human services secretary tom price insisting, the president's tweeting doesn't detract from the health care battle. >> the fact of the matter is he can do more than one thing at a time. >> reporter: some republicans saying the behavior could have

serious consequences. >> people are begging the president not to do this. and, you know, he ought to stop doing it. >> there is an important distinction to draw between bad stories or crappy coverage and the right that citizens have to argue about that and complain about that. and trying to weaponize distrust. >> the president has a busy week this week as north korea continues to promote the president putting in calls to the presidents of south korea, japan. and leaving for a critical trip, the g-20 summit to europe and also a face to face meeting with russian president vladimir putin. alisyn, john. >> suzanne, thank you very much. let's bring in our panel to discuss it, errol lewis, alex byrne, and national political reporter for the new york times caroon demergon. i've been off for a week. what did i miss? >> how are we supposed to interpret what happened this

weekend with what the president put out with wrestle mania of him punching cnn in the head? harmless, fun, harmful, provocative, what is this? >> not harmless? harmful, ultimately. damages both the institution of the presidency as well as the relationship of a free press to that presidency. does some damage. i don't think fatal damage. i think, look, i've been doing this for too long to respond otherwise, when i see a politician squealing, it means somebody is getting closer to a truth that that politician does not want to see talked about. and so it strikes me as, you know, this white house, which is all lawyered up at this point, which has a dogged and expanding team of serious investigators looking at all kinds of different things, on what is really an open ended probe. we call it the russia probe. we know how this works. when mueller finds something that involves financial misconduct, he's not going to overlook that. that gets thrown into the pot. i think the pot is getting a little hot.

the pot is getting a little full. every time i see the president like any other nervous politician freaking out over the press and saying, please don't talk about this, what it tells you is you have to keep digging and tells you that there is probably more there than we realize at first. >> you hear, it fires up his base, his base loves it, they love attacking the media. what does that get him? fires up 30%. >> i think it is fair to see this is part of what you could call his 30%. maybe 35% strategy on a really good day. i think the president since taking office has done virtually nothing to expand his appeal, to go to those people who voted for him reluctantly or who voted against him and give him a reason to like him. this certainly doesn't accomplish that. and where there really are concrete consequences for that, we heard secretary price claiming that this doesn't really link in to his health agenda at all. to the contrary. there are a number of republican senators from the swing states or folks who themselves are uneasy about the president, may not have voted for him or voted

for him reluctantly, they're not seeing anything from him that makes them feel nervous about crossing him and they're seeing a lot from him that makes them feel nervous about standing with him on a really tough issue. >> let's talk about that. i think it is safe to say this are millions of americans who want to be talking about their future health care than about his ongoing wrestle mania with the media. so what does this -- what does this mean? that he can do two things at once and he can affect his agenda or this is his agenda? if you look at his tweets, they're much more anti-media than they are, say, pro senate health care bill. >> well, yes. this is a convenient way of distracting from the fact that we don't right now know what the senate health care bill will end up as. we have a negative cbo report, we have reports about all the people that are going to be losing their coverage, the winnowing funds through medicaid, the problems with the premiums and right now it is in this limbo where they're trying

to make changes quickly so they can put a bill on the floor and trump surrogates are talking how he's working the phones and trying to push this ahead. they don't know what this is right now with all the defections and changes going on. so that's negative press coverage. that doesn't look good for his winning agenda. and that's the media beating up on him and as we heard from all the surrogates over the last week, when the media beats up on him, in a verbal offense, trump says he's entitled to counterpunches and this is just the most physical manifestation of that that we have seen. >> the supporters and people of the white house say he can walk and chew gum at the same time. there is no gum here. we see no evidence of any gum in this case. all he's doing is attacking the media. we had that stat up before, 94 of his tweets have been media tacks, 68 about jobs, 29 have been about the military, he tweets more about attacking the media than he does about the nation's veterans and incurring active service members. errol, there are, again, supporters who paint this as some genius communication strategy that the president

understands how to communicate with people in a modern era that other people don't. this is a tweet my use of social media is not presidential, it is modern day presidential. make america great again. >> if you win the race to the bottom, if you save the most foul repugnant obscene thing, then people who sort of have things like dignity and, you know, factual truth and other kind of -- >> things like dignity. >> things like dignity, then, you know, if you're going to just be vulgar and crude and lie and do all kinds of other different things you can appear to win the conversation or win the debate at that moment. and this is what donald trump has done. he did it throughout the campaign. we chronicled it for over a year, he would say the crazy thing that nobody would think was possible. we saw with birtherism. for years, he lied, he made up something, never renounced it by the way.

just throws the stuff out there and he gets what he wants and sort of turns around and sneers. hey, i won. well, you know, that's one way to go through life. that's one way to go through a presidency. i think in the end, it creates a lot of the problems that alisyn just mentioned, a lot of the agenda goes nowhere, there are other people in the president's party who don't operate that way. >> speaking of repugnant -- >> over to me -- >> alex, you know, if you -- look, we're journalists, we're trained to go to the source of information, that's what we're tasked with doing. if you go to the source of the tweet that the president retweeted of punching cnn, if you go to the guy, we can first find evidence of this video, it is, like, some reddit account with the most odious anti-semitic, anti-muslim disgusting stuff on there. so that's what the president's retweeting. >> it is pretty despicable. not first time we have seen that, that folks may remember during the campaign there was that episode where the

president, then candidate trump tweeted out an image that was clearly produced to be an anti-semitic image with a star of david over a pile of money, his campaign said it was a sheriff's star which it clearly was not. this is an example of -- this white house slipping into behavior that was considered unacceptable during the campaign, really trafficking in the dark underbelly of what is on the internet. it is the kind of thing that would never happen in an administration staffed by the kind of professionals you would expect to see in any republican or democratic administration. >> and, look, this was retweeted by the official potus account, the president of the united states' account, this is an official statement, from the white house itself. and -- >> called to treat these as official. >> we have to start addressing these as official statements, as official policy points from the president of the united states and this white house likes to have it both i wways on that.

this is it. >> yes, they point to the president's social media accounts and point at the media, before pointing to the president's social media accounts with equal abandon. but, yeah, this is definitely an official platform for the president. and the other thing you have to keep in mind is that there are a lot of people who represent these fringes of the party and the alt-right so to speak. even people that are kind of working on behalf of foreign governments that are tweeting at the president various images, various things, sometimes it is fake news articles, whatever, in the hopes he picks them up. i don't know how he came across this particular clip and decided to tweet that specifically. people are trying to get these sorts of social media images, these gifs, these articles in front of him. and he's shown in various instances that he's very, very willing to do that, like, this weekend. >> so errol, after steve scalise was shot, everybody talked about toning down the rhetoric in washington and everybody on both sides of the aisle said that's

what was needed, that is what was important, you never know obviously what the impetus is for some unhinged susceptible person to do something, of course. but how does the white house justify this in toning down the rhetoric. >> it won't. this is one more casualty actually of the president's decision to sort of rush to the gutter and get there first and wallow in the mud and dare anybody to outdemagogue him. it is worth pointing out that when he says this is modern presidential behavior, anybody who has, you know, will remember their classics from high school or college knows that demagoguery is ancient, there is nothing modern about this at all. somebody who wants to sort of ignite the passions and look the other way and pretend they have nothing to do with it, we faced this threat for centuries now. and so the president now joins a long line of people who tried to mislead the public into believing that what they're doing is fine, when we all know it is not fine.

>> thank you. >> happy independence day, guys. >> pre-independence. >> independence day eve. we'll be celebrating for two full days. >> that's right. president trump is preparing for the g-20 summit and first face to face meeting with vladimir putin. we have new reporting on what he plans to discuss with the russian president. that's next. casper makes one perfect mattress.

president trump holding calls with five world leaders sunday including three in the gulf region concerning the situation with qatar. he also spoke to the leaders of china and japan about the danger posed by north korea. the calls, good practice, before the president's big diplomatic test, his face to face meeting with the russian president vladimir putin, the g-20 summit in germany. the administration sources tell cnn the president plans to focus heavily on syria and ukraine in the meeting. he's not expected to talk about russian meddling in the 2016 election. let's bring back our panel, errol louis, alex burns. this meeting is fraught with peril, right? there is a lot to discuss between syria, ukraine, hot spots around the world and the domestic concerns about the russian meddling in the election here, the president has a lot to juggle. >> yes, he's facing off against a very worthy adversary. putin is good at reading people, he's been at this game of politics and international games

longer than the president has. but not surprising that he's chosen -- that trump has chosen to focus on ukraine and syria rather than the hacking allegations. his team has shown a willingness to at least take as tough a stance as the obama administration did when it comes to nikki haley at the u.n. talking about why the sanctions against ukraine are a good idea, when it comes to the strikes against -- in syria, against the assad regime which russia sponsors, that's fine. where the president has never been willing to go fully, though, is to actually take russia on the last serious bilateral problem we had with them, we think you meddled in our elections, potentially for the purpose of helping donald trump win the white house. he's never been really able to touch that. he doesn't sound like he's going to be going there this week when he talks to putin face to face. that would be the most bold move he could take and doesn't sound like they're willing to go there. also doesn't sound like this question of what to do with these two compounds that the russians were using that they were kicked out of at the last

administration, doesn't sound like that's off the table, the option of returning it to them. that has a lot of people in congress very, very worried. but right now they have no check on the president's authority to make these sorts of deals or talk about pulling back sanctions with russia because this bill that they're work on isn't on the table. there say lot riding on what the president decides to do coming out of the meeting and whether he can maintain control of it or putin takes the reins and puts things in the direction that is advantageous to russia. >> if you look at things from the white house point of view, if you want russia's help in syria against isis, then that's what you're pushing. and you don't want to talk about the -- what you consider a nonstory as the president has made clear about russian interference and meddling. so, you know, that's what -- that's where their focus is. >> that's what they say. i think if president trump were to come out of that meeting with vladimir putin and have some kind of deliverable on syria or on some other matter of geopolitical importance, it would help them a great deal in

making the case that, look, there is a reason why we're holding back on the election meddling stuff because we have other policy goals. you heard them make that case to some extent after that infamous oval office meeting, the president divulged classified intelligence to other russian foreign minister. we haven't seen any deliverables emerge from that yet, right? so right now all we have got to go on is administration officials saying they have policy goals and the president himself seeming really almost single mindedly focused on dismissing this notion that russia had any role in the election last year. >> there is some irony, right? the president unwilling to talk about the russian role in the election last year, but the president and his allies very willing to look into what they see as voter fraud with no evidence around the country. this commission, the vice chair of kansas asking for voter information from every state in the country and a number of states have flat out refused. i think we have a graphic here, 14 states say they're not going

to provide information to this. they want social security numbers, they want birth dates, they want voting history, how many times they voted in the past and some states saying, no, we're just not going to do this. errol louis what do you make of it? >> one important thing they're asking for is party registration, which aparental a contradicts privacy flalaws fro the 1970s. i think it is not a voter fraud commission so much as a voter suppression effort. >> that's what critics point out. >> i mean, critic or supporter, i'm not sure what the difference is, frankly. >> explain that. how could asking for your party affiliation and social security number -- >> last four. >> last four and address, how is that voter suppression? >> it is voter suppression in the following sense. first of all, ballot security, true ballot security rests on the fact that it is radically decentralized, 3100 counties, 3100 i was ways of doing electi different machines, different

voting rules. that provides a layer of security. you don't have one system that can be hacked. there's that. chris has a clear history when it comes to this stuff. he pursued a theory of voter fraud that has no basis of fact, and assumes people are going from state to state casting multiple votes. that is a nonexistent problem. and we know that the method that they're using to do it involves purging voters, saying you, john smith, voted in more than one state, we're going to kick you off the roles in two or three or four states. it is an error prone not evidence based effort that ends up kicking people off the roles and you have case after case that gets reported. >> not just states with democratic governments lashing back. mississippi, the republican, has a response. they can jump in the gulf of mexico, and mississippi is a

great state to launch from. errol brought this up, this is not happening in a vacuum. chris covach is deeply involved with the voting issues for some time. critics say voter suppression. >> also a declared candidate for governor of kansas for the republican primary, someone with political incentives of his own and how he's approaching this commission. from start to not finish but up to where we are now this commission has been assembled and administered in a way that is not designed to gain broad bipartisan support for this effort. it came out of the president's baseless claim that 3 million people voted illegally. he said he was going to create a commission to investigate this, he selected, you know, chris is one of the most divisive figures on the whole issue of voting rights in the country. the point at which you have delver hoseman just flicking off a republican administration like this and getting in by the way a great plug for mississippi gulf

coast tourism in the process, that means you have not done a great job of selling the necessity and responsibility of what you're doing. >> just to up the number a little bit, 29, i believe, is our cnn last count. states are expressing some reservations. 14 may be saying outright no, but 29 are saying we don't like how this sounds and, you know, it is just hard to ignore the idea that this week the president -- i find this hard to believe he won't bring up russian meddling. if he doesn't, he won't bring it up with putin who is by all accounts behind the meddling into our election, but he will blame americans and secretaries of state in 50 states for voter fraud. >> yeah. it is troubling. it also is troubling because, i mean, the other part of the -- of this not existing in a vacuum is that a lot of these states got targeted by the same sorts of russian hacks as we have been talking about at the federal

level. and there has been an ongoing effort to try to coordinate better between state voter commissions and the federal government so they can just alert them to what the threats are so they can improve their processes so they're not as vulnerable anymore. you already have the suspicion that is just naturally there, even if you didn't have the voter fraud commission happening of states not wanting to hand over their information or open themselves up to influence in this department. they're very protective of it. now that this is happening too, you've got that added layer of chilling effect that could happen. and it is -- if the president decides to take on this issue with putin in a way he hasn't taken it on with the american public, that would be truly remarkable. that is possible because that's possible to do closed door diplomacy that way. it would be a shift and a really notable one we haven't seen any evidence yet he's going to attempt. >> it would be shocking to see at this point. unexpected and i wouldn't go holding your breath. stick around. really one of the most amazing stories of the day, talking

about government, and talking about suntanning and skin cancer prevention, new jersey's government shut down by a budget standoff, state parks and beaches off limits for the fourth of july weekend, to everyone except look there on the right-hand side of the screen, new jersey governor chris christie out there enjoying the sun. what's he saying about that? that's next.

services on island beach state park. next. next. i'm -- excuse me. next. next. i'm done. we're talking about the closure of government. and you're talking about your tmz stuff. >> no, you can't pass on this one, governor, because unfortunately there is a little something called photo evidence. and it surfaced of christie and his family on the beach and when that happened, his aide explained the comment about not getting any sun from the governor was because, quote, he had a baseball hat on. >> he got caught in a lie. governor chris christie got caught in a lie. said he wasn't out there enjoying the beach, i didn't get any sun today. >> i'm not sure that baseball hat covers everything. >> no, keep your face, you know deer -- the back of your neck sometimes. >> the jersey shore is one of the best places on earth. >> not today. it is under a shutdown. >> to deprive hundreds of thousands of people of it on fourth of july weekend is a crime. >> and to lie about it.

except for hundreds of thousands minus ten who apparently the chris christie family on the beach enjoying the sun at island beach state park. >> hopefully they can resolve it today. >> we'll see. the fourth of july, whether story, a study in contrast depending where you're planning to celebrate. if you're celebrating with one of the christie family, let's get meteorologist jennifer gray for a look at the forecast. >> the christie family enjoying sunshine for the fourth of july because it is going to be nice across the jersey shore as well as other places in the northeast, maybe you're allowed to go to the beaches. so that's one of the better spots as well as the west. the pacific northwest, looks like we'll be nice and sunny for the fourth of july. could see some scattered showers around the southeast. and also the risk of storms across the plains. that will be one thing we're looking at, damaging winds, hail from places like dodge city, amarillo, north platte, tulsa in that. and then as we get into the fourth, we'll look at damaging winds and hail across the plains, like we mentioned in kansas city, pierre, sioux falls, des moines, and so here

is the big picture, we're going to see hot, hot temperatures, salt lake city, 102 for the fourth. but the rain looks like it is going to be the middle part of the country. >> jennifer, thank you very much for all of that. you'll be monitoring it for us for the next 24 hours. president trump takes his media bashing to a new level. the new attacks are drawing scorn from members of his own party, so are media experts going to discuss what's next here? go, go!

president trump's anti-cnn video posted on twitter raises concerns about violence against journalists. but the president's homeland security adviser says he does not consider it a threat. >> i think that no one would perceive that as a threat. i hope they don't. i do think he's beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to. and that he does that regularly and so -- >> you don't think that's a threat to anyone. you don't think that's sending a

message, do that to the media, do that to cnn? >> i don't think so. i think importantly here he's a genuine president expressing himself genuinely and to be honest i think that's why he was elected. >> let's discuss it with our media analyst, the busiest man on television, brian seltzer and tim o'brien, author of "trump natio nation: the art of being the donald." let's consider the source here. somebody -- there are lots of people who say this is harmless fun, the president is having harmless sun, hefun, he's seen wrestling cnn. if you look at the source, it is on this disgusting site of this man or woman who posts anti-semitic imagery, racist rants. so this is what the president's retweeting. >> and what i want to know today, how from this troll on reddit, this hateful troll who posts anti-semitic racist trash

and other people and outlets how did it get from this person to the president's twitter feed? we don't know the answer to that. there say lot of clues online about how this thing started but now how it reached the president's desk. this is not the first time we have seen some sort of meme from the swamps of the internet make its way to the president's twitter feed. >> a question of the on camera briefings they'll be holding in the briefing room over the next few weeks. i'm saying that facetiously. there are people here who say, look, including the president, i should say, who says he understands the current media landscape better than anyone else, he knows how to use new social media methods right now, this is some kind of grand strategy, but you who have been covering this man before he was president for a long, long time, say, look, it is a fool's errand to look for a coherent strategy here. >> yeah. i don't think he's a strategic thinker. he's been doing this now for probably the better part of four decades. i don't think it is new for politicians to set the media up

as a punching bag when they're concerned about broader threats to their agenda. and in trump's case, i think i've said it before, i think here, i think there is usually two ways of understanding what motivates what he does. self-preservation or self-aggrandizement. it is usually not strategically driven. in this case, a lot of this is coming out of self-preservation. the russia issue is a real issue. he can say it is a witch-hunt, others can can say it is a nothing burger, but it is not. this cuts to core issues in trump landia. i don't think it is necessarily collusion or obstruction that preoccupies him. it is the money trail and what it might say about his business relationships and his past financial dealings. >> so much of twitter is such a cesspool, if i can be honest, that i know that you were curious as to whether or not this -- a lot of people were curious whether or not this video rose to the level of harassment of journalists. some people think that it is just having fun, poking fun, some people felt this is --

there is violence depicted here and in this day and age, that's worrisom worrisome. do they think this -- how do they categorize? >> it took the company six hours to get to the bottom of this, to make a decision, eventually the decision was, no, it does not meet twitter's definition of harassment or hateful conduct. but there were twitter users actively clicking on the button, reporting tweets, saying this is harassment, this is inappropriate. i heard from some of those user on sunday that were disturbed by this. on one level, it is funny. on one level it might be clever. then there is the other level where it is scary. and it is scary for cnn colleagues who have already faced threats. there is a heightened state of alert, not just in this newsroom, but other newsroom across the country. and by the way, not just about journalists either, of course. we see violence against conservatives, violence against liberals, there has been an uptick in political violence in general. we all unfortunately witnessed it recently in alexandria, virginia. i think that's the broader context for something like this, even though it is a cartoonish

video, randomly edited together on some computer. >> not even from a good era of professional wrestling. i think it is a little bit post peak when it comes to pro wrestling. what is the best way for the media to respond here? there is a good way that we can. >> i think to ignore it, move on, frankly. i don't think it should be entirely ignored. i think it is a serious issue. we have a president who is repeatedly fomenting violence at his campaigns, he did it at his rallies and on now on social media. i think to sit there and sort of woe is me, the president is kicking us in the head again, my feeling about that is acknowledge it, move on. >> we don't want to lower ourselves to his low standard in this kind of situation. there has been a lot of talk about high standard versus low standards. cnn had three journalists resign last week because of mistakes that were made. we don't see that kind of

accountability from the white house. put that aside. we'll have high standards no matter what standards he has. >> i don't think journalists covering the political landscape that we're in right now are taking the same kind of risks, say, as a journalist overseas in a war zone, for example. >> absolutely. >> i'm not saying that anyone is comparing the two or equalizing them. >> cnn's statement was bold yesterday, saying that we're going to keep doing our jobs, the president should start doing his. that gets to the idea that when he's tweeting videos, pro wrestling, cnn is -- >> what americans are interested in. ari fleischer had some tweets i want to get your impression of, he said, i never minded a good fight with the press. it is part of our democracy, but this goes too far. some think it is funny, i think it is in poor taste. the reason the president does it, it is because the president made themselves so unpopular, it is a fight that the president actually wins with much of country. that's the part i want to ask you about, very quickly. again.

is there any soul searching to be done from the press about what does he mean we made ourselves so unpopular? what are we doing that is making us have such low approval ratings with the public. >> there has been soul searching, there should be more soul searching, patly self- lpae self-inflick ee eed wounds, but has to do with politicians like president trump telling people not to trust the media. we could do a better job telling our own story and telling how it is real and not fake news. >> the rupert murdoch wall street journal, he did not attack that specifically. so the president, you know, interesting where he decides to pick his fights. >> great point. >> brian, tim, thank you very much. great to see you. we're going to change to a much cheerier -- >> your favorite topic. your favorite man. >> tom brady. tom brady. breaking his silence on the concussion comments made by his super model wife, what is the greatest quarterback ever,

patriots tom brady is speaking out regarding his wife's comments he had concussions not reported by the patriots. coy wire has more. >> gisele bundchen said her husband tom brady had concussions last year and that raised a lot of comments because he was never listed as having a head injury by the patriots. he was on a goodwill trip to asia and he explained that she is a caring and concerned spouse. >> she's there every day. we go to bed, you know in the same bed every night. i think she is, you know, she knows when i'm sore, she knows when i'm tired, she knows when i get hit, we drive home together. she also knows how well, you know, i take care of myself.
