Civil and human rights crisis in and of itself. Embodied. Im so frustrated by the fact that donald trump would even compare gas prices in the same conversation about this man who is touted by his colleagues as someone who is so important, not just to political discourse in this country, but also across the world. And so it is truly a crisis. Not just when you see how this has been allowed to happen by our lack of accountability for the saudis in this instance, but also when you see what happens to journalists, some of whom work on this network, every time theyre in the pressroom at that white house. How is this white house going to hold the world responsible for how it treats freedom of speech when they also are they are a sore thumb in the eye of everything that freedom of the press is about. I question that every single day. Jackie kucinich, the president ran on a position of strength and u. S. Foreign policy. He continues to claim to be the strongest president in history, he will of
It is freaking everyone out. Also my angle on what the midterm results mean for you, and for this president. Plus, trump takes it to the media. This was unbelievable. I was screaming laughing. And why a ruckus White House Press conference revealed the media has basically learned zipo during these past, two years. And Raymond Arroyo is here.

The president has repeatedly expressed his frustration over that initial decision to recuse. Stepping in as acting attorney general. Matt wit ker a former attorney general from iowa serving as sessions chief of staff. Trump is said to have a strong personalal rapore with wit ker. At least v for now will oversee the Mueller
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, doubling down on a slam against Justice Roberts this evening. After the chief justice defended the u. S. Judiciary to the president in an unprecedented public statement. Let me show you exactly what happened. It all began when trump was asked about a federal court ruling which was against his new policy that would bar migrants who come into the United States illegally from seeking asylum. Heres what the president said about the ruling. Well, you go to the ninth circuit and its a disgrace, and im going to put in a major complaint. This was an obama judge, and ill tell you what. Its not going to happen like this anymore. Okay, that sure sounds like a threat against the Judicial Branch by the president. Well, the chief justice of the Supreme Court who has never done anything like this so publicly felt it had finally gone too far and issued a statement.
