second, the second, to study evidence actually exist? today the top democrat on the house intelligence committee says he doesn t think so. i don t expect we ll see any evidence of this either. i agree with timecard. one of two possibilities here. the president quite deliberately for some reason made up this charge are perhaps more disturbing the president really believes this. reporter: the charges former president barack obama ordered the wiretapping of trump tower during the election. the former president has led the charge. so as the current fbi director reportedly asked the justice department to publicly reject the president s claims. congressman schiff plans to ask about it directly when he testifies before the full committee later this month. republicans have also been very critical of president trump on this issue. just today, john mccain said thursday road need for congress
to investigate these wiretapping allegations. here is why. i ve no reason to believe the charge is
and economy r they right? hi, everybody, i m david asman, let s focus with mr. steve forbes, elizabeth, sabrina and bruce jackson, steve, spend more? dave, unfortunately we will have to spend more and a lot more under barack obama the budget declined, a couple of hundred billion dollars, trump is increasing it but not nearly enough, we need more ships, we need more equipment and we need to maintain what we have which we haven t done in recent years, we also need radical reform of procurement system which wastes $25 billion a year. a lot has to be done. john, look at the percent of gdp that we spend in military hardware, it has come way down. we had the peace dividend during the clinton years after the end of the soviet union, that s when the big dip happened and we built up after 9/11 and it s come down again. coming down from a very high level. even now we spend more on the military annually than the next

dangerous and it s really the lack of visibility. we can barely see 100 yards in either direction and obviously with the winds blowing at this speed if there is debris flying through the air i don t want to be out in the middle of that and get caught up side the head by some flying branch or anything like that reporter: hold on one second, ed. stay where you are. stay where you are right now because some of these big trees are surrounding this hotel. i don t know if they re going to make it. they re starting to creep out. look, the palm tree is an extraordinary piece of vegetation. there s no question about it. they re built to bend. there are a lot of trees that aren t that and they re starting to split and fail under the strain on them and we ve been watching it and the concern is that these trees are going to go into the structures across and while they may not look physically impressive to you, we re talking about thousands and thousands of pounds and even more of that force
