Responding to republican claims of fbi surveillance abuses. The democrats are not only trying to cover this up but theyre also colluding with parts of the government to help cover this up. The memos writer adam schiff is here to respond coming up. Hello, im jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is still raw in the wake of the tragedy in florida. President trump and floridas republican governor have promised action including some proposals to change existing gun laws in a brandnew cnn poll shows support for stricter gun purchasing laws at its highest level of the last 25 years with 70 now saying that they back new more restrictive gun legislation.

Years. Thats a big jump from a poll in october shortly after the mass shooting in las vegas, killing 58 people when 52 supported tighter gun laws. Meanwhile, there are new questions surfacing about the multiple red flags missed about the shooter along with the Immediate Response. Coral springs sources say that when their citys Police Officers arrived, they found not just the School Resource officer but three other Broward County sheriffs deputies who had not yet entered the school. Broward county sheriff scott israel denied those reports today on cnns state of the union, but pressure is mounting on the Florida Governor to take action.

Indoctrination in the classroom. Pat caddell joins us with advice on the midterm elections that republicans still want to take seriously. And, first, walking out and walking away from the truth about the parkland massacre thats the focus of tonights angle. As we documented last night, the student walkout for gun control yesterday looked at times more like a political celebration than a somber protest. With left wing politicians greeted like rock stars. Look at how the crowd gathered at the u. S. Capitol with their selfie sticks in hand greeted Bernie Sanders as he made his way to the blow horn. Oh my god, they were going nuts. It was pure partisan politics. It was scripted and screamed. And why am i saying that . Because. Because it is not simply about gun control anymore. Oh, here. Because wait. Okay. Because it is not simply about gun control. This is about human life. This is about the children who have lost their lives to gun violence. So i ask our republican lawmakers, is their ri
To his troubled business. And attorney general Jeff Sessions pushing back after the president calls his handling of complaints against the fbi disgraceful. The Washington Post saying their relationship hit a new low with mr. Trump labeling his long time supporter mr. Mcgoo behind closed doors. We begin this hour at white house with cnns kaitlan collins. In terms of hope hicks, and this resignation, is it tied to that testimony . Reporter it is not directly tied to that actually, erica. Many drew that conclusion when she stepped down suddenly yesterday after being in front of the House Intelligence Committee the day before for several hours and as hope hicks told the Communications Staff here at the white house goodbye, she said and made very clear she felt like now is the right time for her to go, but had nothing to do with those recent headlines, which some took to say she was denying that speculation it was because of that testimony, but, erica, there is no denying this is one of the
Tinseltown prepares for the oscars, the me too movement is shaking things up in unexpected ways. And well tell you about a world war i memorial. But first, conservatives strike back at the nra boycott. Thats the focus of tonights angle. After that massacre at that parkland, florida high school, students turned activists turned their sights on the nra. Im glad that companies, which are what will stop the nra from doing what theyre doing and basically killing kids, the companies are going to be the ones that are going to stop this. And im calling out every Single Company right now who is not in favor of conducting their ties with the nra. The nra has shown themselves to be toxic, vile, and to not support the right to live, which is in the preamble of the constitution. I would say planned parenthood hasnt supported the right to live. The nra has been in business since 1871 and does more to promote responsible gun ownership and gun safety than any other organization in the country. The fac
