KING: Tapping our political radar today. Just moments ago, President Trump signing the V.A. Mission Act. Its aim giving veterans that better access heath care options to get that care in the private sector. Philadelphia Eagles coach speaking out on the President's decision to call off that White House visit for the Super Bowl champs. President cancel that after the team told that White House only a handful of players plan to show up. Pederson said just while he personally wanted to go. His team now is focused on football.</s>DOUGH PEDERSON, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES HEAD COACH: I was looking forward to going down and being recognized as world champions. And, you know, it is what it is. I'm not discussing it. It's over. What you've seen and what you've heard is enough. And I'm not discussing it. I'm not going to stay here and discuss it, because we have two practices. I got a mandatory camp next week and I'm focused on that. We're united. We're a team. Been that way since I've been here.</s>KING: And the State Department spokeswoman had a little damage control this week, but she may have land up big in a hole of it deeper. While trying to explain a controversial statement for the new U.S. ambassador to Germany, Nauert listed examples of U.S.-German cooperation but for some reason brought up a famous World War II battle.</s>HEATHER NAUERT, STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESWOMAN: When you talk about Germany, we have a very strong relationship with the government of Germany. Looking back in the history books today is the 71st anniversary of the speech that announced the marshal plan. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany and we have a strong relationship with the Government. And so, we want to reaffirm the strength of our relationship with Germany.</s>KING: Can be back to the history books a bit on that one. Scott Pruitt back in the news, it involves Chick-fil-A. Seriously.
