turn to some of the other breaking news congressman we're following as you heard the New York Times now reporting that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA for tweets contradicting president Trump's claim that hurricane durian might actually hit Alabama what's your reaction to that report well it's it's pretty clear if that story is true and I don't know that it is but if that story is true the Commerce Secretary needs to resign now that would be the most blatant use of an official position in the service of the ego and the political fortunes of the president that we have ever seen and in this case it's particularly serious because of course you know issues around weather forecasting ships rely on that communities rely on that people make decisions about whether a hurricane is coming or or if it's not by a way the Commerce Department also provides all of the data on the United States economy which is used by our businesses and by people who watch the United States economy so if they if the Commerce Secretary is saying I don't care what's true here's what the president wants he needs to go and he needs to go yesterday let's talk about the president's scheduling and then canceling a Camp David summit with the Taliban what message of the president's end by even considering this meeting in the first place well I'll say two things about that number one I do support the president and his goal to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan it's our longest war now it's not a situation that is getting better I've been there many times and I always hear well we're just on the brink of it getting better and it never turns out to be the case so I absolutely do support the president's efforts to strike a deal that will get the United States out of Afghanistan now second thing let's remember the Taliban are not the Israelis and the Egyptians you think of the Camp David Accords they've brought together you know those those two parties the Taliban are a murderous backward-looking you know sect of people that want us all living in the ninth century they want women in the homes they kill women who want to get educated and by the way they Harvard the people who attacked us on 9/11 so they do not get in front of a camera under any circumstances much less at the kind of stage that Camp David or the White House provides so what I would say to this president I think I did say to this president via social media is please make a deal we need to deal with some pretty nasty people and in our own interest but do not give these guys a platform especially so close to the anniversary of 9/11 can you imagine what it would be like for I've got an awful lot of them in my district a family who lost somebody in 9/11 to see the president shaking the hands of the people who harbored the terrorists who committed that act so again let's get a deal done but no Trump liked theatrics this is not a game show this is not reality TV do a deal do it quietly get our troops out of Afghanistan Congress
