i'm ali velshi.
>> and i'm stephanie ruhle.
well, everyone's attention this
week was focussed on on-going
russia investigation, there was
a ton of other news affecting
your job and your money.
>> well, to some people it was
jim comey week, but to president
trump, it was actually
infrastructure week, or at least
that's what he wanted it to be.
>> that's what he said.
>> so let's start there.
>> why don't we.
president trump chose to focus
this week on rebuilding our
nation's public infrastructure.
now, republicans and democrats
agree our roads, airports and
railways are in desperate need
of repair and upgrades.
if you think about it, the old
and overused systems we use
everyday slow the movement of
people, goods and services and
that, that is the very
life-engine our country is built
upon.
and the president couldn't agree
more.
>> we have structurally
deficient bridges, clogged
roads, crumbling dams and locks.
our rivers are in trouble.
our railways...
