Ad myre Admiral Mike Rogers answering questions about Cyber Threats as questions arise about previous testimony from the fbi director. Cnn has learned that james comey might have overstated some details about Hillary Clintons infamous emails. And i want to talk about this now with cnn political director David Chalian and cnn justice correspondent evan perez. Evan, lets start with you. This seems like a big mistake that he made testifying before congress. Its definitely a mistake, and i think the fbis now trying to figure out how to clean this up, perhaps theyll send a letter to congress. What comey should have said is that huma abedin had set up a forwarding system, a backup system, whereby her work emails were being sent to Anthony Weiners laptop. Thats her husbands laptop. In some cases, perhaps she did forward some emails for him to print out. The way comey said it during the congressional hearing last week, however, he said that she forwarded routinely hundreds of thousands of emails and that the intention was for him to print them out for her to present to the secretary of state. Perhaps thats what she did in a few cases. It certainly was not an intentional thing the way it was for hundreds of thousands of emails. And thats obviously a very important distinction, David Chalian. The surprising thing i think for many observers, you included, is that the fbi is sort of just trying to figure out right now how to respond to this when it seems pretty clear something was wrong, why dont they just say, heres what really happened . Well, evan made this point, but to me, if youre someone like jim comey, who holds himself up to be the arbiter of truth at all things, and even when he makes controversial decisions, he stands by them because he believes thats where truth is, its very hard then when you make a mistake. Right. Because then you have held yourself as this person who delivers the truth, and if you make a mistake, youve set yourself up to get this kind of blowback and criticism. So, it seems i went back to the letter that he wrote to fbi employees last october, explaining his decision of why he was looking back into the clinton matter and why he sent this letter to congress. He said i feel an obligation to do so, given that i testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed. I also think it would be misleading to the American People were we not to supplement the record. Well, i dont know how the same person who can have that guiding philosophy to make sure the record is correct not now correct the record with, as you reported, an erroneous statement to congress. Because it says there are a couple of sources this is according to the propublica story. They first broke this. And theyre saying, including in law enforcement, there was only a handful of emails that were forwarded. Just to, again, point out, that is a huge distinction between hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands. I think he said hundreds and thousands. Hundreds and thousands that comey made it out to be. So, what is the fbi trying to figure out as they decide how to respond to this . I think given the propublica story last night and given our coverage and other peoples coverage today, its pretty clear what the fbi is going to have to do. I think certainly as david points out, the standard that the fbi director has set is one now that whenever he makes a mistake in his testimony, hes going to have to correct it. Look, covering the fbi, weve seen him make mistakes before, nothing of this sort of magnitude and certainly not with this kind of attention, but weve seen him make mistakes. At one point, he described incorrectly the procedure by which they got sensitive information, and describing how the rn yank hacked. It wasnt. So, weve seen that before and the fbi generally just papers it over. In this case, i think given the attention its going to get, theyre going to have to clean it up. Because hes been such a sort of interventionist on this issue. I want to ask you about something Lindsey Graham told our manu raju, and this was in relation to something that was asked of the former dni director, james clapper, yesterday, where he was asked about Donald Trumps business dealings and if that may have had anything to do with the russian attempts to meddle in the election. He said no comment. And it seems this is whats following from republican senator Lindsey Graham. Lets listen to what he wants. The russians funded any of these trump golf courses . I dont know. Thats you know, this is hopefully, people are looking at that kind of stuff. And its not wrong to do business with russians. Theres no crime in that, but the trump team said they never did business with russians. So, all i want to know is i want to know everything about what happened in 2016 between the russian government, trump campaign, and dont complate the two. The russians tried to undermine our election. Thats different than colluding with the trump campaign. Thats an important distinction as well, but there also seems, perhaps, to be some bipartisan appetite for dissecting the president s business dealings. Well, i think Lindsey Graham was one of the republican senators on the panel, and there were a few others, youre right, that show a bipartisan effort, but to get to all questions about russian interference with the election. And if business ties are part of that calculation or not, or if theyre part of the collusion accusations or not, that needs to be run down, according to graham. It is interesting, though, how because when clapper was asked about it, he also stressed that there was nothing about the business ties that came to the level of being included into the Intelligence Community assessment that was delivered last year. That it did not rise to that level. But then when pressed, well, after that assessment was delivered, did you find any connections . And thats when he said, i cant comment, because that may have impact on the investigation. And keep in mind, i mean, at the time of this investigation, when, credential wh what clappe about, decemberjanuary, theres been a lot done since then by the Intelligence Community, by the fbi into this version and i think the bottom line from the hearing yesterday, certainly with Lindsey Grahams questions, is that this is a bipartisan thing that is not going to let this russia story just go away. All right, evan perez, David Chalian, thank you so much to both of you. Some schoolchildren in dubuq dubuque, iowa, got a crash course in the sometimes contentious relationship between politicians and the media. Let me set the scene for you. Republican congressman rod blum of iowa was getting ready for a town hall meeting with constituents, and before that, a local tv interviewer was interviewing him in a classroom full of children. The reporter asked blum why he was making people show their i. D. S before they could get into the town halls, checking to see if this were constituents of his district. That was when things went from awkward to over. Take a look. Well, i think some would make the case that you represent all iowans. The decisions that you make impact all iowans, so shouldnt all iowans have a voice at the table, or at least have the option to . I dont represent all iowans. I represent the First District of iowa. That be like saying, shouldnt i be able to, even though i live in dubuque, go vote in iowa city during the election because id like to vote in that district instead . Reporter would you still take donations from a republican in iowa city . Im, im, im done. Reporter we havent even weve just started. This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Hes going to sit here and just badger me. We just asked why you wanted to do the interview. That was it. Congressman, youd come on. Take a seat. And joining me now is that investigative reporter, Josh Scheinblum from kcrt tv. He said you ambushed him. I would disagree with that, i think those are reasonable questions you asked, but he is under a lot of pressure as well. From your view where you were, why did he get so upset here . I think thats a question youd probably have to ask the congressman, why he had gotten upset. What i can tell you is that i try to conduct interviews the same way whether republican or democrat. Im interviewing dave lopesack from iowa city, a democrat. And you know, we had sent email correspondence, weve been speaking on the phone. This is something that we have been doing for weeks with his staff. The very last email that i received, they asked me to come to that Dubuque Community center. There was no attachment about there being an event or anything like that. He did say he was there before, but thats about it. I would tell them i would meet them anywhere at anytime, any day, weekend, you name it, i will drive to your location as soon as youre in the state of iowa. They gave us a location. I said id be there early so we could set up our cameras, and that was that. Okay, so, you set up the interview, and he went after this right into a town hall meeting. How did that go . So, our interview was before the town hall. Thats right. And after your interview that he walked out of, he then had a town hall at this school. Was this contentious . Well, i was not at the town hall meeting. We had another report who was covering that. And actually, representative blum talked with that reporter and said that he was under the impression that we would be talking about the tour that he was doing with that school, that the reason that we were there was simply to talk about that, and that he felt as though he was ambushed. All right, he felt as though he was ambushed. Sounded like valid questions to me, though. Josh scheinblum from kcrg tv, thank you so much. Thank you. Now to an unlikely player in the Health Care Debate, jimmy kimmel, defending his emotional monologue last week about his newborn sons health scare and his plea to lawmakers to help people with preexisting conditions. The latenight comedian offering a backhanded apology to his critics. Listen. One week ago tonight i made an emotional speech that was seen by millions, and as a result of my powerful words on that night, republicans in congress had second thoughts about repeal and replace. They realized that what is right is right, and i saved Health Insurance in the United States of america. Thank you [ cheers and applause ] and i would like to apologize for saying that children in america should have health care. It was insensitive. It was offensive, and i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Bill cassidy is the United States senator for louisiana. Hes a doctor. Hes a gastroenterologist, married to a retired doctor. His wife, lauren, was a surgeon. He cofounded the Greater Baton Rouge Community clinic that provides Free Health Care to the worki working uninsured, so he obviously cares about Peoples Health and i asked him to join us tonight and hes with us. Lets talk about health care. Why first question is why are the vast majority of republican politicians against making sure americans are truly covered when it comes to health care . Well, if you take the most prominent republican politician, donald trump, he said that he actually wants all to be covered, he wants to take care of preexisting conditions, without mandates. Americans hate mandates. And lastly, maybe most importantly, he wants to lower premiums. Right now, families have premiums 20,000 and 30,000, almost 40,000 a year with 6,000 to 13,000 family deductibles. Now, a middle class family cant afford that. We have got to have insurance that passes the jimmy kimmel test, but a middle class family can no longer afford. Do you believe that this health care, the Health Care Bill that they passed, does that, lowers those costs for middle class people . The house plan was scored by the Congressional Budget Office as actually raising premiums, which is why on the senate side we need to make it work, because we have to lower those premiums so that if another child is born, that child can get the care she needs, not only on the first year, but every year thereafter, as you mentioned so well. I want to bring in my panel now. Cnn political commentator and former executive director of the congressional black caucus, angela rye, and former Communications Director for the National Republican senatorial committee, brian walsh, with us here today. Okay, so, angela, you hear jimmy kimmel there, and hes become this lightning rod in the middle of this debate over health care and what republicans want to do to president obamas signature plan. What do you think of the backlash and also the fact that there did seem to be this very interesting discussion on his program with a key republican senator . Well, i think that, obviously, senator cassidy has it right there. The Republican House version of this Affordable Health care act is not palatable at all. He referenced it being scored by the cbo, but we now know, of course, it has not been scored by the cbo, for viewers that are watching. You can go to the Congressional Budget Office at any time and see that hes talking about the bill that was scored more than two months ago now at this point. And if we were going to rely on that bill, he talked about, you know, we want to make sure that premiums go down for hardworking families in this country. Well, the way that the premiums go down under the current bill structure, it would be by cutting medicaid upwards of 880 billion over the course of ten years. That is also not a good fix. There is a reason why republicans in the house, more than 60 plus times, worked to repeal obamacare. They couldnt deal with the replacement because it was too difficult, and reality is, where they landed is also not a good place. Brian, where they landed seems to be dead on arrival in the senate. Well, i think the senates doing the right thing by taking a step back, looking this back over, having more hearings, hearing from more people, and you know, getting the input of millions of people across the country. And look, i dont deny that jimmy kimmel had a very powerful moment. It touched me. Im the father of a 1yearold little girl, and it touched me as well. But i also we have to understand that millions of people across this country have had bad experiences with obamacare. Myself, my Health Care Plan has been canceled three times in the commonwealth of virginia, my premiums have doubled, my Health Care Costs have gone up, and millions of people across the country have had those same experiences. So i think we need to, you know, come together and find a plan thats going to work for more americans. And the senates doing the right thing by taking a step back and starting over here. Angela, i know that you are shaking your head at that. Yeah, and its just because i cant, of course, speak to what happened with brian, but i can say for me, my plan i was able to keep my doctor, i was able to have my premiums did go up, but modestly compared to what there would have been if there was never an obamacare solution. And i think the reality of it is, to brians point, we do need to work together. Working together is not repealing a plan more than 60 plus times. You cause governors all over the country to doubt whether or not the thing is sustainable, so then, of course, insurers pull out. That is what you see in the stock market every day. When theres risk involved and that increases and no longer looks like a strategic or smart risk, people pull out. That happens every day. Its business, unfortunately, but its on the backs of poor and hardworking families. Donald trump wanted to create a tax reform structure in a Health Care Plan, and that benefits the wealthy. And unfortunately, this particular plan hurts poor people. So, i hear you, brian, on it shouldnt be a partisan issue, but every single day last congress, the Republican Party didnt get that. As we do look forward, though, brian, i do want to ask you about this, because theres this task force now in the senate. Many senators who you are familiar with who are looking at what to do when it comes to the senate Health Care Plan all republicans, of course, put in place by the Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell. The knock on this is that they are all white guys. Theres no representation from women, theres no representation from the sole africanamerican senator in the republican conference. You know, what do you say about that . Well, i think the Senate Democrats have done a clever job at spinning this, but i worked in the senate for over 15 years, and every republican, every democratic senator has a powerful platform, has a powerful voice. I can say with a great deal of confidence that nothings going to pass the senate, at least on the republican side, with republican votes, without significant input from Susan Collins from maine, Shelly Moore Caputo, west virginia, other women republican senators, so is it a misstep, though, to appoint a panel that really has no diversity, or do you think that that was on the mind of leadership as they did that . Do you think Mitch Mcconnell normally would anticipate Something Like this, no . So, what is the reason for not having some of these senators on . Is it because they are in tough states . Is it because actually things might get pretty dramatic on the panel . Whats behind this then . I cant speak to that specifically. I do know Shelly Moore Caputo from west virginia, for example, has a seat at the leadership table and has since over the last year. Shell have a significant voice in this debate. Same with Susan Collins, joni ernst from iowa, other republican senators. And look, i think if democrats have ideas, lets hear them and lets try and get a bill that we can that can come together and, you know, and get bipartisan support. I think thats the larger goal. I think whats unfortunate is that Senate Democrats, you know, their base is so dug in against donald trump and theyre looking ahead to 2018 already that, you know, theyve told their troops, line up and fall in line, whether it was the Supreme Court nominee or now health care. You know, they have to make the decision, do they want bipartisanship as well . Angela . Just really quickly. There are a number of missteps here. Diversity, it shouldnt be placed at the feet of this working group. We know that the Republican Partys representation in the senate and pretty much writ large in the country is largely white and male. I think the bigger issue here is they had an opportunity to also include democrats, to brians point, this should be a bipartisan solution, and its not. Theyre all republicans, they are all white men. Like you said, tim scott does not have a seat at the table. They had choices, angela. There are a handful of women yeah, there are a handful but just a handful, theres not even a binder full, like mitt romney said. There arent that many, and they didnt even pick any of them to put on this its ridiculous to say, oh, you have a voice, but your voice wont be a seat at this table. So im going to have to respectfully disagree with brian there. Do you think the voices of senator Susan Collins and senator tim scott, you think they will not be heard . You think that she will not be pivotal in this . I think that if they really wanted to hear their voices, they should have put them at the table, and that is what Susan Collins said herself. I think Kamala Harris also said it best, when youre talking about defunding programs that directly impact womens health, you need to have women at the table, not a side desk, not a voice that trickles in, the voice of god like morgan freeman. You inside to let them have a seat at the table. All right, angela rye, brian walsh, thank you so much to both of you for this discussion. Thank you. Lets talk next about americas longest war and President Trump. He is considering a surge, perhaps in afghanistan. Why his looming decision could mark a major pivot in the Foreign Policy on which he campaigned. And moments ago, president obama getting candid about life after the white house, very candid, we should say. Hear what he compared to a prison and the people who think that hes an idiot.

Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible.

It is americas longest war, and President Trump is deciding whether or not to build up forces in afghanistan in what could be a major pivot in his doctrine. The strategy under review would allow the pentagon to decide troop numbers in the region and give the military Broader Authority for strikes against the taliban and limit limits on the mobility of u. S. Military adviser on the battlefield. I want to discuss this mow with the panel. Charles chupchin is with the National White house Security Council and former staffer for the Clinton Council as well and michael allen, former staff director for the house intelligence committee. So, this is where we are headed. It seems a potential increase in the number of troops in afghanistan. For laypeople, we talk about increasing military advisers, allowing them to have more mobility, which basically just means, in a way, you could argue they might be in harms way, but theyre going to be able to go out more with Afghan Forces farther towards the front lines and train them. When you look at this, charles, what does this tell you about maybe what you were expecting or the change, even, in where donald trump is going with his Foreign Policy . Well, i think that now that trump is in the oval office, he has to square the circle between no more nationbuilding, reducing americas footprint abroad, and his pledge to go after bad guys. And the reality is that in iraq, in syria, and now in afghanistan, there are bad guys, and he has basically said im going to devolve to the pentagon more responsibility to go after them. To go from where we are now at about 8,500 to 10,000, 11,000, that seems sensible. Thats probably what the pentagon is asking for. I think what we need to watch for and be careful about is if 10,000 becomes 20,000, if 20,000 becomes 30,000. Weve been there since 2001. Thats 15plus years. Not a lot to show for it. Lets make sure we dont go back to trying to turn afghanistan. Does this make a difference, michael, as you see adding this well, its a range now, as little as maybe 1,500 troops thats under consideration, maybe up to 5,000, then you would expect nato forces as well to pitch in. Is that going to make a difference . Im not sure its going to make a decisive difference. Weve been up against the taliban and now isis in afgh afghanistan for some time. I think its more symbolic. I think it says that, listen, the Obama Administration was on a downward trajectory. I think this is President Trump saying were here to stay, we recognize that this is in the u. S. Interests to try and make sure, as trump has said, his signature issue is to go after the terrorists. And so, he wants to make sure at the heart of where the 9 11 plot was happened that were still going to have a presence and were going to be there for some time. But as for outright defeating the taliban, i dont see it just from this increase. At the root of this, as you mentioned, hes trying to signal some contrast between the Obama Administration. It seems, though, when a president is president , they realize the reality of this. Obama was trying to draw down troops to a level that he in the end just couldnt achieve. Why is it so necessary in the views of most people in Foreign Policy to maintain a longstanding presence . I think that because it was the birthplace of where the 9 11 plot emanated from, i think weve invested a lot of blood and treasure there, and i think hes trying to say, listen, we are going to put more sustained emphasis on afghanistan. Weve invisitested a lot of blo and treasure and we may want to one day get to peace negotiations, but for the time being, we are at least signaling to everyone that we have resolve, and that in his words, were going to start to win again, as he would say, instead of in many cases drawing down. Is this something that some folks are going to say this could be turning into a quagmire. You mentioned, what if the troops increased to even greater numbers. Is that what do you see a potential track for that, or do you think this is just longterm u. S. Presence in afghanistan . Well, there are two distinct missions in afghanistan. Theres the counterterrorism mission. Weve got enough troops in there, enough aircraft to take strikes when we need to. This increase is really focused on training the afghan army so that the afghans can do for themselves what we cant do for them, which is fight back against the taliban, try to build a functioning state. And prop up the state and and prop up the state. But part of the problem of afghanistan, theres no state. Theres never been a state. And so, what we really need to do is get the Afghan Security forces into a position in which theyre capable enough that the taliban says we cant make any more advances, lets go to the negotiating table. The pentagon seems to say another 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 will get us there. Lets see. Obama struggled to do that with the surge, so well see what this does. Thank you so much, charles, michael. Really appreciate it. Just in, president obama calling the white house a nice prison. That is a quote. Lets hear what he revealed about leaving the presidency ahead.

Once youve been president of the United States, then, a, youve made a mistake every day. B, everybody has seen when you fail. Large portions of the country think youre an idiot. Life in the white house certainly no walk in the park. Former president barack obama getting candid there about what his eight years as president were like. Mr. Obama speaking moments ago at a summit in italy and defending as well his record on Climate Change. I want to discuss this with kaitlin hewey burns, a National Political reporter for real clear politics. And he said something else. This is always so fascinating to me, kaitlin, to hear a president talk after hes left the white house. He also said this. Lets listen. You know, the hardest thing about being the president of the United States is, it is unique in its isolation. You live in whats called the bubble. And it is a very nice prison. So, you dont have the freedom of movement to be able to just take a walk or to sit at a cafe. Bubble . Weve heard him talk about the bubble. I dont know if weve heard him talk about the prison, though, but maybe not surprising to hear that. Reporter right, exactly. Remember that one time he left the white house and there was talk of the bears loose and he took that nice little walk around outside the white house . This certainly, it is an isolating place, and weve seen this current president go to more familiar places to him, like maralago and to his other club in new jersey that hes been frequently lately. The thing thats interesting about obama coming out and spotlight being on him is it comes at a time where he is having to defend key items of his legacy, which are, of course, obamacare, which republicans are aiming to finish repealing, and also Climate Change. Weve seen the current president weigh whether to pull out of the paris Climate Change agreement. To that point, talk more about that, because that was a big issue as we heard the former president s comments defending the paris climate deal, and there have now been multiple meetings, at least at the staff level, that have been canceled, allegedly for scheduling conflicts, but it seems, perhaps, its more than that. Reporter right, exactly. President trump campaigned on pulling away from this Climate Change deal, but then after the election, he kind of signaled some kind of openness. And the talks within the staff, according to reports, have kind of shaped up to be a kind of a proxy battle between a two different factions, kind of the bannon wing who is wanting to pull the u. S. Away from these kinds of things, and thin ivanka and Jared Kushner, who are probably, you know, more supportive of staying in this. Youre also getting pressure from people in the Business Community to keep this deal, along with leaders of other nations, including the president of china, who trump has become close with. So, its really shaping up to be kind of a proxy battle for our role in these kinds of things, and it is to be determined, but the president is supposed to go abroad and make a decision soon here, but its really interesting to watch. And weve seen this on other issues, too. Campaign promises meet the reality of governing and our role in the world has really changed in terms of how the president sees these things. On Foreign Policy, as we were just discussing as well. Absolutely. Kaitlin huey burns, thank you. Corruption pure and simple .

Corruption and a bribe, those words describing a namedropping pitch by Jared Kushners sister to chinese investors. Now calls are growing for jared and ivanka trump to recuse themselves from chinarelated policies and issues. I want to bring in one of the men making this call, noah bookbinder, a former corruption prosecutor and executive director for citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington. First, just explain. Weve heard a number of ethics questions, so explain in your view, how bad is this one on the continuum of ethics problems . Well, this ones pretty bad. I mean, this looks like people trying to enrich themselves based on a connection to a Senior Adviser to the president. Because she drops her brothers name. Obviously, hes in the administration. She acknowledges that and says that the president will be a key decisionmaker when it comes to this controversial visa program, right . Thats right. She drops his name. She says he recently left the company left his job as ceo of the company to go to the administration. She says that trump is going to be a key decisionmaker. We dont know that Jared Kushner or anyone else in the administration played a role in this, but we certainly shouldnt have the families of senior officials using those positions for their own gain and their businesss gain. And shes back pedaled on this. Clearly, theres an acknowledgement this wasnt the right way to go, although certainly shes saying thats not her intention. Thats what were hearing from the company. Do you see this, i wonder, as a data point of other things . I recall ivanka trump wearing something and then her company, which shes supposed to be separate from, tweeting about it. And is there any pattern that you think is concerning when it comes to knowing where these lines are . Is this different from other administrations . Its very different from other administrations. We have a consistent pattern of very little linedrawing at all between personal businesses and what the government is doing. It starts with the president , who has not been willing to sell his business interests and every day is potentially violating the constitution by taking foreign money. And then down to his administration, where youve got first the president s adviser, kellyanne conway, and then the state Department Apparently peddling ivanka trumps businesses. As well as maralago. I want to ask you before i let you go, because i think this is so important. So, what are the repercussions . What happens in response to this . Well, right now, were not seeing a lot of action in response to this. The white House Counsel ought to be stepping in and stopping white house officials from doing things they shouldnt be doing. The office of government ethics is trying to but doesnt have a lot of power. And really, it comes down to congress in its Oversight Authority and the American People to demand ethical behavior from the white house. Noah bookbinder, thank you, sir. We do appreciate you being here. Thank you very much. Is President Trump turning liberals into conspiracy theorists . According to our next guest, yes. And his argument involves Stephen Colbert, President Trump, and beer. Thats coming up. Plus, Spirit Airlines canceling flights, and these travelers obviously not happy about it, brawling right inside of the terminal. Well have details on this story next. Is to always keep track of your employees. R micromanage them. Make sure theyre producing. Woo employee of the month you really shouldnt leave their side. Vita coco coconut water, hydration comes naturally. Its my decision to make its nbeauty last. Ix. Roc® retinol started visibly reducing my fine lines and wrinkles in one week. And the longer i use it, the better it works. Retinol correxion® from roc methods, not miracles. ™. They are the real fake news, as big of an oxymoron as that is. Talking about conspiracy theories. There are plenty of them on the right with some people believing anything negative they hear or read about clinton or obama or any democrat must be true. But the left is not conspiracy free either. Its a lot of conspiracies going on right now. We have cnn politics reporter and editor at large crystal joining me now. We talked about the one side that some of this Conspiracy Theory is on the right, but you found many examples this is happening on the left. Theres no question donald trump traffics more in Conspiracy Theory in bits of news that he extrap lates outward than any president weve seen before. That said, i think a lot of democrats dislike trump so much that theyre ready to believe anything thats said about him. So one example, during the Health Care Debate a reporter spotted a bunch of beer being brought in to the capital. That tweet was retweeted more than 3,000 times largely by liberals on twitter saying theyre taking away Peoples Health care and celebrating with beer. And then you heard even electric elected members of congress say they were cracking beers open. Headlines everywhere. Not true though . No. Never was true. It was for something else. Some reception or something on the hill . Right. As anyone whos been on the hill, they have a lot of receptions there. But 3,000 retweets, her clarification retweet, because theres a segment of people who just want to believe that thats what they were doing. What else did you find . Fcc, the federal communications commission, opened an investigation into some controversial comments Stephen Colbert made with donald trump and vladimir putin. While this was a sign that the trump led fcc was investigating col bert trying to silence. No, standard operating procedure, cnn reporting was right on this, weve had an fcc spokesman saying theres nothing new here about this. If someone asks, we have to take a look and it happens all the time. If someone asks and its viable, you know, what was said was sort of out of line, maybe we should take a look, you know. It happens again and again and again and again. I do look, this does not, brianna, take away from the fact that donald trump traffics in real conspiracy theories, has, probably always will. But the left is not immune from this either. I do think its the effect of donald trump. I think he makes them so angry, so unhappy with the process, so unhappy with the fact that hes president , that they are literally welling to believe anything that makes him or the Republican Party look bad. People in a way confirms what they believe. Exactly right. More and more now because you can find news sites, cable tv, whatever, that plays to your particular bias. Well, it was on tv or i read the headline of it, it must be tree. You seek out things that confirm that these stories are true and then of course the oh, actually, it wasnt true is two days later and you missed that because it doesnt conform to your beliefs. And maybe its not loud enough as well. Chris, thank you so much. Coming up, airline rage. A brawl breaks out inside of a terminal after Spirit Airlines cancels flight.
