clayton: you read my mind. jon scott is in with us this morning. abby: we love having you. jon: look like that outside it s a nice day to be inside. abby: true. clayton: we have 24 hours of this. jam packed show. the search is on for the next director of the fbi. first wave of interviews getting underway this morning. top doj officials are conducting the storch replace fired fbi director james comey. abby: alisyn barber is outside the department of justice with the latest this morning. good morning. good morning. people tell us a handful of candidates will be coming to the doj this morning. sources tell us the first interview is set to take place in about 30 minutes. the president says these are, quote, great candidates. what about the new director for the fbi? you are looking for someone now. yes. to me that s one of the most exciting questions you can ask if you want to know. okay, good. we have some great candidates.
investigation like the email investigation could last years. so, the president supposed to stick with an fbi director he doesn t like or doesn t want because this investigation is going on for years? no. he can fire him and look for somebody else. but, you know, politicians nowadays they look for a reason to like stir their base up. so even if they don t agree that this is a constitutional crisis. even if they don t agree that this is going to effect the investigation in any way, which it won t. people who say that don t know how investigations are conducted, they are still going to pound that theme to get their base riled up and angry so they come out and vote in the next election. abby: you would think the media is smarter than that to know what he did was not unconstitutional. where are they coming from? why are they doubling down on this. have you not seen how the media feels about trump? this is not going to change. and that s one of the things i think president trump unfortunat
well, i guess it s a steep learning curve being president. i wouldn t know. never been one. maybe one day. give him a little time. he is not a typical politician. and i think that s what drew a lot of voters to him. they were tired of the same old thing they have always gotten. no dramatic change u so, for once, they are going to give that outsider a chance and see what happens. clayton: john dickson who went from being a john kasich support tour trump supporter. abby: would you vote for him today? i m still waiting. i m not going to judge too soon. jon: si everybody for us u. abby: thanks. a little boy hurt at the hands of a suspected drunks driver. what is worse he is illegal immigrant deported 15 different times that boy s dad is outraged and he is joining us live next. you don t want to miss this. tom! name it tom! studies show that toms have the highest average earning potential
daytime television. abby: you could just see the frustration in his face though, jon. we laugh about the way he says things it s so trumpesque. in that moment you can see he is so angry how th thed me has treated him since he has been in office. unfair. the fact they don t follow through on actual fact. the way his press office as treated spokes people. sean spicer and sarah huckabee sanders. tough job and how they re treated in interviews. really disrespectful. jon: would you want to be the person behind the podium? clayton: no. who would want that job? jon: absolutely hammered question after question after question and yeah, they make some mistakes. clayton: the idea we are going to cancel press conferences and hand you a slip of paper with a perfectly worded committee going through line by line to make sure we are 100 percent accurate. if we get something slightly wrong that s the thing that ends up on the front page news.
a long time that the president has beened of a crime. let s be clear, there are some democrats that believe we should impeach the president. i m not one of them. i think he rightfully won this presidency. do you feel there is a close connection between some of his associates and the russians? absolutely u so does the justice department. this week we find out that mike flynn and some of his associates will be there is a subpoena for mike flynn and grand jury subpoenas going out to his associates. clearly there is more than just smoke there. richard, come on. go ahead, mercedes. you have to have an investigation and reach a final cex. i agree. have you heard senator dianne feinstein say there is no evidence of collusion between the russians and the trump campaign. democrats are so anxious to find the crime and so anxious to make the point of this russian collusion there is no evidence. clayton: do you agree with mercedes that democrats undermine comey and this was the pro
