Page 217 - Stunning News Today

Earlier in the week, which is evidently not the version that went to the white house. just, you know, to take phils point one step further, you know, the republicans are pushing ahead without releasing that critical democratic minority answer or giving the fbi or the other intelligence agencies a chance to respond publicly. i mean, i think the -- christopher wrays comments today, you talked about them earlier in the show, you know, really are stunning. i mean, to hear the -- >> stunning for the ...

Processes that the fbi and other intelligence agencies use, to bring about the information for their applications to the fisa court. when you go to the fisa court, there are generally two things youve done. either you are suspected of having worked with a foreign intelligence agency or a foreign power, or you are a member of a terrorist group like isis or al qaeda. there is no in between. they dont use this for political purposes. when they get a fisa warrant on you, they are pretty sure they ha...

State of the union address last night. but not all. there were beautiful moments, and one stands out. truly powerful for all the right reasons. president trump honor police officer ryan holets and his wife who adopted a baby from a heroin-addicted holeless mom he came across in the line of duty. we will talk to the officer live in a moment. it is great to have him here. but the man who brought this story to you in the first place is ed lavandara. sometimes we do a service and you checked that bo...

Hillary clinton, was very close with her, and so he just -- it just shows you two things. one, that firing james comey wasnt enough. the president really likes to have almost an apprentice-like, you know, humiliation. and two, you know, just how seething he was and has been about the leadership at the fbi. >> stunning. yes. i mean, david jolly put out the tweet this morning. if you wake up and youre a member of the fbi, you know that republicans are investigating you. if you wake up and youre a ...

Off and it wont pass. but i cant help but notice weve been talking about this legislation on this program for several months now with no seeming urgency from mitch mcconnell to bring it up for a vote. >> that is very true, chris. youre right. and im disappointed -- in my republican colleagues who have failed to sense the urgency of this legislation. and who have been silent over the last 24 hours after this extraordinary, chilling, stunning, deeply scary report about the president acting -- not ...
