I creasingly, it looks like he's on rand paul's side. rand paul has been the biggest prooppone proponent of continuing the program. he said he talked to the president about this. he reminded him of the problems that exist with it. so you see rand paul potentially stirring the pot here with the president on this. the fisa issue is a weird mixed bag. it has strange bedfellows. you've got ron wyden and rand paul who are these very strange allies on this. in the house, the freedom caucus opposes it. a lot of folks are ideologically aligned with the president in that group. house leadership has a c...

Howard baker. that there's not a single person to date who has come forward, putting the republican first. and the interest of the public over the republican party. not a one. and frankly looking at my own party, who's been the point of the spear here against donald trump on each of these moral issues, the investigation? if i had to say something, i'd put jimmy kimmel over all the leaders of my party. so the process itself has not risen to the occasion on the trump investigation in my view. >> all right, well, i do have to share, president trump just put out another tweet, where he corrected h...

President obama wiretapped trump tower. jesse, this is a lot to get into it a lot that i just because now we are finding out the paul manafort was in fact targeted. it was he targeted under section 702 of the fisa act? and some of the contacts he's had with russian and eastern european officials who might have been surveilled themselves by our intelligence agencies? did they use that stooping to tie him to the president? and unmask him? >> jesse: one step at a time. the story could be fake news. we don't know that. it could be retracted. i'm sure cnn would love to retract this because this vin...
