we are told, a phone call from
the President President Trump

Mr Taylor, what
about the mayor
Inexcusable, Mr Taylor?
She allowed this to happen.
She didnt protect
Mr Andersons son.
She should have protected the
city, the people of her city.
I want to go back to the
presidents phone because we
were both on the phone call.
The president was extremely
gracious.
He called at a perfect time during the funeral services
during the funeral services
it just lifted Horace up,
he was elated screaming. I got
a call from the president.
I dont want to belittle the
power of the presidency or the
seat of the presidency.
It was very, very special for
him and it was very, very
special for myself.
Whatever your politics, are it
doesnt matter?
The office is the most powerful
office in this world and to be
able to receive a phone call
from the president. He gets no
higher than that.
I just want to make sure we
covered that.

reaction too, and everybody that
I have talked to everyone.

love and prayers to you, and I.
