thought the most important story was the reaction of the death of a petty street criminal and it was most reported but not close to a story that is rocking your world and you probably didn t feel the tremor. the international monetary fund revealed that china s economy surpassed that of the united states and now china is now the world s largest economy. they reported on this story and it could should have caused demonstrations in our streets. we are losing our country and no one seems to notice. less than 15 years ago, the u.s. economy was three types the size of china. and americans since 1945 have grown used to having the number one economy and must have taken it for granted. get ready to the new ranking or get angry and we ll do something about it. our current president said running up the huge debt on children and dprand children was irresponsible and unpatriotic. if so, he is the least patriotic president in history. our debt topped the 18 trillion mark. that is more than ....
confronting internal revolt over the house health care bill and his unsubstantiated claim that president obama wiretapped phones at trump tower. a lot of americans need to know. reporter: amid this turmoil, fbi director james comey could confirm today whether the bureau is investigating ties between trump s campaign and russia. leaders of a senate judiciary subcommittee also hopeful comey will also respond to their request to provide evidence regarding the wiretapping acquisition. they re about to screw up big time if they keep running to the intel committee and not answer that letter. reporter: earlier this week sean spicer qualified trump s accusation, but now he s sounding defiant. he feels very confident it will ultimately come of this, it will vindicate him. reporter: lawmakers on both sides of the aisle showing growing frustration about the white house s failure to provide any evidence to support trump s extraordinary claim. i think, frankly, the administra ....
media, if people don t believe us. one of the reasons they don t believe us is because of the way the last election was covered, which was overwhelmingly in favor of one candidate over another. that is not surprising given that there is no politically diversity in the press corps. politico did a study on this. how many registered republicans in the white house press corps? zero. that s a huge problem, don t you think? i m a registered independent. i think it is important to be neutral when you are covering politics in the white house. tucker: do you i agree with you. you think of the people covering the white house are objective? i do. we went to read their twitter feeds? i can t speak for every member of the association. s i think it is very important to be neutral. i think it is important to report the facts, it is important to report robustly with the president is doing. i think you should do that regardless of whether the president is a republican or a democrat. tuc ....
i know you have other duties for the network so we ll let you go. but with eappreciate we appreciate you being with us. jonathan swan, i m sure you have more of the conversations than i do, but aides increasingly want you to one, give them credit for all the quote crazy stuff that doesn t happen. i think i have seen that in axios and other places, and two for the scripted moments which are sort of milestones that they are proud of getting him to hit. whether it s ultimately affirming the commitment to article 5, whether it s delivering a decision on afghan policy. and they want to sort of separate out judgment or responsibility from these wild, unhinged performances like last night. yes. it s doubly strange because you really have a white house at the senior level where if you take the family out of it, if you take jared and ivanka who obviously voted for their father in law and their father, if it was any other election they weren t related to him they would have voted for hi ....
that s a closed session but it s significant for several reasons. first, you mentioned he s the president s personal lawyer. he s known him for years, they go back in terms of business dealings. this is a person who s been in a lot of private, personal and confidential conversations with the president so it will be very, very interesting to see what kind of information he s going to be able to reveal. and then of course it s a sign of a potential escalation or widening in the russia probe given there have been other significant interviews. of course, jared kushner met with the senate intel committee as well. but this will be a very interesting interview to watch and again as the headlines play out with that on the hill, on tuesday, while the president is in new york, trying to focus on things like the threat from north korea, the current iran nuclear deal and other pressing issues. he will be trying to make this a global debut on the world stage where others may be talking about s ....
