mr. speaker, but i want to specifically recognize was behind the wheel when they took home the win and roger penske, who with this latest win, can claim his 17th victory at the speedway. the entire state of north carolina is proud of the 32 national championships, including 15 in indy car, specifically coming from the penske team. mr. speaker, it is an honor to represent a group whose leadership, determination, and drive brings so much pride to our area. i'm also glad they chose this part of north carolina to call home and i look forward to them bringing even more trophies back to our area in the coming years and with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? the gentlewoman from texas? without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for ne minute. ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, i come from the fourth largest city in the nation. soon, i hope to be the third. but we take great pride in the umber of counselor offices that we have, the lacks that we speak, and i seek to engage in internat

rogers joins with us the story. >> every day something new cnbc obtained a letter from mr.ich he shares his side of the stoerp he says forbes mischaracterized the event that took place when he participated in laundry services diversity media training as the company has been testing his return to advertising amp the comments he had made about the nfl back in november the letter says that during that meeting he was asked whether he is raies racist he writes i of course said no which is a truthful statement as those of you who know me well will attest and of course if you felt otherwise, you would not be sitting on the papa john board the letter says that the agency suggested papa john's teamup with can't anywest which he rejected on the notion that can't anyuses racial slurs in lyric processes. he admits to using a racial slur but it was wasn't a epithet. he knead made to decision the fired laundry and offer them less than they were owed after they asked for $6 million a as some people at the agency had been offended by schnatter compensates after the forbes story came out he

roger is going to be indicted and he's a critical piece for mueller. though he did talk to mueller, do you think he's right and do you think you will be indicted? >> mr nunberg has no evidence of collusion. >> same is a smart guy, i think he has responsible members of the media should be careful when they take what he says at face value. >> you told the new york times that donald goes out of his way to treat him like cougar gingri garba garbage. do you think michael cohen is out for a revenge of the president? >> i did not have the chance to follow the event for today. he wanted badly to be in the president's white house. i honestly do not know what he knows and whether any of it is debt detrimental to the president. >> i am going to believe it is benign. >> roger stone, thank you for being here. >> u vethank you very much. intelligence officers are saying they don't have any concrete idea of what was discussed between vladimir putin and tr president trump. all the requests of as transcript is denied, we'll get into that, next. and ifan get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can get comfortable doing the same with yours. prepar

mr trump says: "don't pay with cash." adding: "the president wanted to do it the right way. if you wanted to hide something, you would not do it by corporation or cheque." steve rogersnald trump's 2020 re—election campaign. here's his view of the recording. it seems to me that the president was actually trying to steer things ina was actually trying to steer things in a legal direction. but there was never any payment. i have to tell you at the end of the day and this may not come out the way i want it to come out but the american people don't care about that stuff. they ca re don't care about that stuff. they care about other things. their quality of life, the fact that our taxes are lower. there is more money in our pockets. the economy is going. and on and on. as the mainstream media in this country continues to create narratives that are anti—trump, the president's popular it is growing and growing rather significantly. now, this tape is reported to be one of several discovered by fbi agents during a raid on mr cohen's property in new york earlier this year. to pick it apart, let's go to washington. speak to anthony zurcher. americans don't care about this. some

mr. mueller has had full access to my e-mails. before, he is aware that there's nowhere on rent evidence in my view this is a fishing expedition. reporter: in an interview kristin davis described rogerer best friends and said quote, in terms of russian collusion, i know nothing and they seem to be going back with him and picking up people who work for roger and some people who are disgruntled. all the special counsel's office is not commenting on reports mueller steam has contacted numerous individuals already with context to roger stone. leland: someone who's been a close associate of donald trump for a long time and way before the presidential campaign began. garrett, thank you. liz has more on that. elizabeth: let's break this down. white house supporter john bennett with all the details regarding the white house. thank you for joining us. john, on start with the tweet we had from the president this morning -- there's a lot to talk about so the recording clearly undercutting any denial from the administration and what else do here? >> one thing we have to point out is this has to be viewed in the context of just how bad of a week this has been for president trump, of course, the

roger stone, who was a long time trump adviser. so i think president trump's interest is less about any of the traditional foreign policy issues on the table than in his own survival >> mrs just on air, said issues were insoluble. >> bringing up the hacking and election. >> impossible to find a center to the argument. so is it unreasonable to expect progress in that line of questioning? >> i think president trump has given every indication he is not going to raise this issue of the russian cyber offensive aggressively if you look at the tweet this morning, he still says it was a witch hunt i read the grand jury indictment of the 12 officials. it is chilling in its detail we're now in the cyber age as we all know this is the first major cyber attack by the russian government on the united states and there's been no acknowledgment of it by the president, hasn't raised our defenses what he ought to do this morning, i hope he did, but he probably didn't, was to tell president putin if this happens again, there are going to be direct consequences. more sanctions and certainly the united states has cyber capacity of its own to hit back if necessary. that's the kind of game yo
