Are out walking down -- theres an intracoastal waterway, nice boats, its i very nice neighborhood and roger stone had a beautiful house and this is something that the neighbors are not used to. thats what multiple neighbors have been telling me as weve been here on their sidewalk reporting this news all morning. >> well, david, your reporters instincts were right on this morning. you were in the right place at the right time to bring us the exclusive video of roger stone being arrested on seven ...

A lot and said oh, wikileaks is great, what theyre doing is photographic. weve also seen him distance himself from some of the folks that are in muellers sites. it will be interesting to see if hes able to do that. he probably will try to do that with roger stone. but this indictment certainly suggests that even after roger stone officially left the campaign he was certainly still in touch with folks in that campaign in very major ways around wikileaks, at least this is what this indictment says...

He is quite active in terms of trying to make end roads. and so i hear what youre saying, this is not like, okay, well case closed. but as we often know its the cover-up and not the crime and you still do time. >> you know, youre right, alisyn. and i think that theres a tendency on all of our part to want the final chapter. this is not the final chapter. this raises as many questions as it answers. >> i also say, michael, you said something interesting. all we want to know is if a law was broken...

Was coming. why were you there in position? >> reporter: alisyn, its a reporter reporters instinct. there was some unusual grand jury testimony in washington yesterday. robert muellers grand jury typically meets on fridays. yesterday, thursday, there was grand jury activity. we also had some other signs that maybe something was going on this angle, the roger stone angle. so we showed up at his house this morning. we were the only ones there and low and behold the fbi agents did come and arrest h...

And charged. >> what happened? could you see roger stones demeanor? could you see any sort of negotiations happening between the agents and roger stone as to if they were going to let him get dressed, if he was going in handcuffs, anything like that? >> reporter: it was a wild scene. it happened quickly. when the agents fanned across the lawn they were moving slowly, but urgently. when stone came down, within moments it was cordial almost. they had a discussion. then, in fact, we were moved down...

Apparently what was happening to him this morning which was he was being arrested. they were having a friendly discussion. now hes in custody. >> very quickly, david, you were there just because of a good reporters instinct. you knew the grand jury met yesterday and you just on a hunch thought maybe it would be good to go see what roger stone was up to this morning. you happened to be there and our cnn cameras captured this. last question, behind you did any agents stay behind? are they executin...

The democrats themselves have acknowledged exists. they have admitted it. at various points in time they have been willing to be supportive of addressing them. those problems arent going away. no one suggested the border wall is a silver bullet. there are a lot of problems that coincide at the border. we need to attack them. the barrier in certain high traffic area is an important piece of it. >> thank you for being with us. not the easiest discussion with the technical challenges. we appreciate...

Paying for it, not mexico. >> senator angus king, you are an independent. you talk to both sides. it is fascinating to hear just how stuck we are and to hear you explain how we have gotten here. thank you very much. well watch what happens. >> thanks, alisyn. well keep at it. >> good to hear. well talk to you again, senator. >> thank you. >> john? >> they supported president trump in 2016. after being hit hard by tariffs and the government shutdown are iowa farmers still on his side? thats next....

Home or in this case im going to shut down the government. thats not the way our system works. i think hes got to come to grips with the reality that hes not the ceo of america. he doesnt get to say, we are going to build a wall. hes got to persuade congress. its interesting, alisyn. he had two years with total republican control of both houses. why didnt this come up then? thats when they had the numbers. they could have gotten something through. the dirty secret is i havent met many republican...

Map but on the house side you have 40 democrats who beat republicans either in seats where hillary clinton had won in 2016, some in trump seats. so in talking to them, you can really feel a sense of heightened anxiety as this goes on. they are actually ready -- the longer it goes on, the sooner they want to break the line at the amusement park because the constituents are saying we thought you were going to go to town. these are moderate districts. thats a huge challenge to nancy pelosi as it we...
