No. Actually we have put in several calls and stop by their office and we have not heard back from them and we went to their office immediately after the press conference to ask what sort of access the media will have because if there are no sticks or large objects that would prevent us from going and we have First Amendment right as well.

He has acknowledged the right shows up and i asked him about an accusation made by the San Francisco bear ed lee and here is the mayor followed by gibsons response. I ask our public and our residents a San Francisco bay area to honor our request did not dignify people who are coming in here under the deck under the guise of patriot and prayer words to really preach violence and hatred and incite violence. That is their purpose. We know that is a fact by simply watching how theyve acted another series. Bear ed lee says he points to other rallies. Is that true . Absolutely not. They dont give examples and they are not specific what it is theyre talking about and this is the issue about politics. They spew out lies but they dont back it up. Gibson said his groups rallies have been hijacked by far right groups in the past much like in our list much like anarchists do. He said people from across the political spectrum would be speaking at the rally. We stand up for free speech and love and freedom. We are done with the politics and im done telling people who to vote for. We have too many people that believe someone is an enemy because they have a different ideological perspective and we need to get beyond that. I believe politicians cannot solve our problems in this culture right now. Just a few final notes on Patriot Prayer raised in portland, oregon. It does not up here on a list of hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center but they have attracted White Supremacists in the past. You asked about the group of speakers who will be coming up in talking at the rally and its not what you might think. And he uses this as proof that the group is not a white nationalists or White Supremacy group. He said only one of the speakers at the rally is white. All of the others, african american, latino interns gender and they talk a variety of issues and some Trump Supporters and he said its all about free speech. In the past he has invited up opposing speakers to talk about issues as well. Did that and it at a previous rally in the hope is these two sides will not get close enough and in the past he has allowed those with opposing views to speak at his rally. Heather holmes.

President trump last night in arizona at one of his Campaign Style rallies. He fired up his base but received a different reaction from those that serve in government. He had a much more tempered environment compared to last night. U. S. Profession james taylor is here Professor James taylor is his. James clappers James Clapper has worked with every president since john f. Kennedy and this is what he said right after the speech. I dont know when i listen to Something Like this from a president that i found more disturbing. Having an understanding of the levers of power available and hes talking about Nuclear Weapons i found this downright scary and disturbing. Yeah he actually mentions the close and Hillary Clinton warned this frenetic personality that donald trump has and the the idea in which he spoke and explained the process is streamlined that in less than 10 in less than 5 minutes thats where you hope general kelly and others around him are strong and reliable. Do you think thats crossing the line . The American Psychological association unleashed and came to an agreement that this is now fair game to revisit this question going back to watergate to avoid going into personalities and psychological profiles. This is New Territory for the professional classes that look at these areas. The president spent a lot of time criticizing the media saying the deceive the American Public and they are not fair. Be honest. Do you think he has a point . I think the media is obsessed with donald trump. If he was saying all the right things the media would still be obsessed with them because he is a phenomenon and i think he is obsessed with the media as well and there is a freudian dynamic here because he was greeted by the media and at the local new york level and the National Level and over 3 billion of ads run in the campaign he was largely created by the media and for him to hate the media and if i was a psychologist i would say there is something that is something deeply freudian going on. Last night he said he blames the social and political upheaval on the media. What do you think about that . That issues here in this country are much more deseeded deepseated and 16 Million People wanted him to get things done. And at this point he cant point to any clear affirmative legislative accomplishments. The standard is by 100 days set by fdr and donald trump says hes the most effective in history and he cannot point to Something Like the new deal for the spare deal or the Great Society agenda is trying to carry out and not even the Affordable Care act and this is what donald trump has got to get to moving beyond the one third of his electric that he is appealing to. For years i heard barack obama could only be the president of only black america turkey have to be the president of all of america and the embedded this individual is making an appeal around race and seems to be warning off the other two thirds and that to me is phenomenal. Said something significant and hes not afraid to shut down government to get the money to pay for the border wall. This man had threatened and used a Government Shutdown against barack obama twice and they said they would make him a one term president and im sure they wish he wasnt a president now in this New York Times report if its true about the tension between Mitch Mcconnell and donald trump and Mitch Mcconnell is safe for another four years despite low ratings and he doesnt have to worry about anything. Donald trump has no power over Mitch Mcconnell. Hes attacking senators in arizona. Donald trump doesnt understand fdr, lbj, treatment those president s who were legislatively successful, you have two get involved and work them lbj got up and congressman faces and donald trump is tweeting and thats not the way you get things done the way the other president s have got things done. We have much more coming up. James, thank you. Mysterious death and a womans body dumped partially covered with a tarp. Plus. Somebody saw something and somebody knows something.
