The warriors and the cavs is pretty much the matchup everybody expected. I wondering if there are symptoms that go along with the finals fever. [ laughter ]. It is interesting that the warriors have become the villains rather than the darlings they were a few years ago. The meeting reason for that is what they did last year on july 4. They announced they have landed one of the biggest free agent acquisitions and history. Two schools of thought emerged. How would durant blend with the other warriors stars and whether be enough scoring opportunities for both players. All those concerns were quickly put to rest. The other development is that some fans across the country feel the warriors had become the new york yankees of the nba. The motivation was clear, you dont sign durant to get to the playoffs, you signed to win it all. So hows the adjustment been for him . I play basketball like i always have. That is you know we will see what happens. I cant go out there and do everything on my own. And i cant let my teammates do all the work for me. I need to do my part and we all need to make it come together as a group. Having a guy like that who has around, who has seen everything, from the highest level to add that into the mix is great. He fits right in with everyone else. That is very important. We have been talking about this for about three years now. It is so rare in professional sports to see a team where players dont make comments about not getting enough minutes or an f touches on the ball. So the warriors arezero in the playoffs. They have the potential to go 160. Batista that happening . No. But they dont care about that. Since june of last year they have been pointing towards this series. They want to these guys and they got them again. The fact that they have been on such a role and are coming into the series on such a high, that has got to be concerning for them. No one has ever come in the 120. The conference finals. Me. The Boston Celtics were the number one seed. They looked hike complete losers and they were the conference finalists. They were the number one seed in the east actually. I dont remember a playoffs where the lead up to the finals was so anticlimactic. In the meantime, los angeles says they are still looking for the vandal or vandals that targeted lebron james is home in southern california. Someone spraypainted the n word on the gate. The 32year old superstar did not discuss the incident with our crew did discuss this rather. My family is safe. At the end of the day they are safe and that is the most important. That just goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world and america. It is believed to surveillance cameras captured those responsible for the incident. Coming up, major developments in a sex assault scandal at a bay area school. Or students have come forward in light of our 2 investigates report. [ indiscernable ] we are tracking fog. We didnt have any this morning but it came back rapidly. I will tell you what to expect coming up. Subpoenas are going out to the member to members of the president s regarding testifying about ties with russia. That to new details on the Russian Investigation into their involvement in the 2016 election. More subpoenas have gone out to telcos inner circle. In komi has got the goahead to testify before the senate committee. We are life now in washington with developments. Reporter you need to walk around with a notebook to keep track of the cycle because things happen so quickly. Fox news has learned that james comey is likely to testify in front of the Senate Intelligence committee next week and will likely say that President Donald Trump tried to end the russia probe. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton chimed in about the 2016 election. Reporter the fbi, cia, and National Security agency were hit with subpoenas today. The house Intelligence Committee is demanding documents regarding former obama officials including suzanne rice and the former cia director as figures of interest when it comes to unmasking. Do you recall any u. S. Ambassadors that names be unmasked . I dont. It is bringing a vague bell but i cant answer with confidence. We thought we were going to win. Reporter russia is also on Hillary Clintons mind. The former president ial candidate argued and blamed the kremlin for interfering in the election, even going as far as claiming americans had to of help. Clinton also pointed the finger at the former fbi director james comey calling the email scandal nothing. So for whatever reason, and i can only speculate, he does that on me on october 28. In the meantime the white house continues to dismiss the russian collusion theory as a democratic excuse for losing the election. Thank you. The white house staff are defending a late night tweet sent from trump. It read despite the constant negative press an unintelligible word. Some thought he might have fallen asleep while riding it. This is how White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer responded today. Do you think people should be concerned that the president posted a somewhat incoherent tweet last night and it then stayed up for hours . No. Why didnt stay up so long . Was no one watching it . The president and a small group of people know what it went. The president recently tweeted another incomplete sentence. Let me go back to that tweet. White House Press Secretary sean spicer anything a small group of people knew what that meant. Thats a ridiculous thing to say. You remember when we were kids our parents used to say that nothing good happens after midnight . [ laughter ]. Also in that press conference i noticed they are doing that by audio only. They are not televising that. What is going on . It is supposed to be more informal but it also reflects President Donald Trumps real concerned about how Media Conferences go. The are all over the board. It feels like they are trying to control the media. Oh absolutely. This particular situation is out of control. Lets talk a bit about the expectation that when james calmly testifies he will lay out what President Donald Trumps said about if he should or should not continue the investigation. How damaging decent that will be . It will depend on what komi says. There have been leaks around what he might be thinking about saying. But he has his own questions to answer during the hearing as well. He has previously indicated he was not under pressure but it depends on how this hearing goes and what questions are asked. We dont know yet. We also dont know if there is any evidence yet. We are still waiting to hear details around this. There is the possibility that President Donald Trump will follow through on a Campaign Promise and withdraw from the paris agreement. What will the impact be of that . It will be huge. Anytime the u. S. Walks away from the situation as a leader of the pack, that is not a good situation. Especially when it comes to important issues like global warming. The United States needs to stay at the table. That does not mean that agreement is the perfect agreement but those things should change from the inside and not the outside. Backing out of it entirely is not helpful. That if he does not follow through on the Campaign Promise, will he be criticized . Absolutely. He has people on all sides of the issue. It will take decisions to stay in and trying to fix issues. President donald trump says he will make an and announcement on that next week. Governor brown is in china for a Climate Change conference. He says that any decision by trump to dismantle Climate Change will not be good. He is just off on his own track here.
