In a printer. >> thats the concern. you may have airports that dont have the checks and balances that we have in the united states. perhaps, if aqap has moved forward with their bomb making they could perhaps get past the controls at some of these airplanes. >> thank you. appreciate it. now the hearings that electrified this town and much of the country, james comey testifying before the house intelligence committee and revealing for the first time that the question of ties between trump assoc...

Lets talk about the wiretapping claim, explain what the fbi directors message was on that. >> the fbi director did not mince words when he said there is no information in the fbi or justice department to support president trumps claim ton twitter that his phones were wiretapped under the order of president obama. now, at the time, when those tweets went out, director comey wanted doj to publicly refute the claim, which we know didnt happen. the director seized on the opportunity today and put hi...

I polled our recipients of money, what is the single most program? the answer was block grant. when we took the money and sent it back to them after take our 10% out. howie: even a bigger story is the passing of chuck berry at the age of 90. >> im going to write a little letter and send it to my local d.j. there is culture for you. he had more influence on rock n rollers. married for 68 years. there is a cultural message. howie: next on "mediabuzz," president trump is standing by his wiretapping...

Falsely of a crime. he was very clear, crystal clear on that. and i hope that there will be some response from the white house from that. but number two, i didnt expect him to say what he did say. i, having dealt with these matters when i was in the government, was surprised at how much he did say. he said there was an investigation about contacts between the trump camp and russia officials. he wouldnt name names, but he made it very clear that thats an ongoing investigation. that is incredible ...

Clinton people, theyll say it clearly hurt us. theyre none too happy about james comey. these people are human beings, they are affected just like everybody else by circumstance. he has had a searing last six months in the public eye, facing criticism from both sides. im interested to see how he handles it. i generally think when he speaks publicly, hes quite impressive. but david makes that point, we have not heard from him. we have heard from back channels that he was very unhappy with the wir...
