STUART VARNEY (HOST): OK, joining us now, Sen. Deb Fischer, Republican, Nebraska, who will be asking questions of Dennis Muilenburg, Boeing CEO, tomorrow. Senator, look, thanks very much for being on the show today.
SEN. DEB FISCHER (R-NE): Thank you.
VARNEY: What worries me is that this line of questioning for Boeing will be, in fact, the takedown of a great American company. What do you say?

VARNEY: Senator, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt you like this. I do apologize. But the president has taken the podium. We're going to listen in.
