Last person that you had, the last guest. But anyways, i just want to say that i watch cspan mostly. Thats all i watch 24 hours a day. Cspan 1. Host oops, jennifer, are you there . You broke up a little bit. You watch cspan a lot. Caller i do because i used to watch msnbc until they started Bashing Trump and it was really obvious they were just bashing him and all in for hillary during the campaign. Then i went to cnn, and then all of a sudden within the past since trump has gotten in, all you hear is russia, russia, russia. Every time i hear that i turn the channel. I am so sick of that. I guess i would have more credibility the media would have more credibility at least with me if i would have heard them going after, lets say hillary when she was secretary and giving 20 of uranium of the United States uranium to the russians. I think the democrats have a lot more involvement with the russians than trump ever did. Yet, the media never tried to expos that. Expose that. And its so obvious they are just in the pockets of the liberals. I mean, everywhere you, New York Times, daily beast, all that stuff, i look at their websites. Just its just Bashing Trump. I am just so sick of it. Hes our president. They need to get over it and they need to just try to work for the people of the country. Im just really disgusted by it host ok. Caller i turn it off soon as i hear it thank you. Host jennifer in vining, minnesota. Perry in fort lauderdale, florida. Caller thats a perfect example of the hypocrisy on the right. All these people on the right say cnn, fake news. Everybodys fake news. The real fake news is fox. You can go on youtube and you can there is a category, fox news lies 2016. The ews lies 2000 clinton story has been debunked. Trump got so much time on cnn during his campaign. Whats he doing for the people . Hes making a profit for his family and himself and his rich families. Hes not doing anything for the people. Give me a break. Host ok. Here are some headlines from newspapers around the country. The clarion ledger in louisiana, the headline protesters, no cuts to medicaid, dozens march against the Health Care Proposal before the senate. And then you have this from the San Francisco chronicle, return of the travel ban sows anxiety anew. Many cannot meet the guidelines set by the white house in response to the Supreme Court deciding to take up the case. And then the Dallas Morning News, g. O. P. May retain obama tax hike. This is one of the tax increases tra were included in the Affordable Care act. The Dallas Morning News say they may include a 3. 8 increase on high earners in the proposal they are redrafting as we speak. And then theres also this from orlando sent national in florida. Trump tweets denounce. Vulgar comments about female tv host. Topics for all of you to talk about here this morning. Michael in monroe, new york, a republican. Hi, michael. Good morning to you. Caller yes, hi. Good morning. Id like to comment about your last speaker. If there is even it doesnt mean theyre wrong every story. Id like to i was taught when i was young that [inaudible] so eve you anymore thats the New York Times. We dont believe them anymore. Host and michael, which outlets do you read or watch . Caller well, i am taking out the middle line. Nobodys right. Nobody has it everybody tries to tilt it the other way. So im trying to stick to the middle point of all the stories. Host all right, michael. Tad in rhode island, independent caller. Hi, tad, whats on your mind this morning. Caller good morning, greta. Id like to thank you and your staff for taking my call. We talking about how polarized we are. Right after the election, i spoke to a friend in texas and he said to me, if hillary had won the election, there would have been a civil war. And this morning early on, one of the callers said mentioned, i think they called on the republican line mentioned the civil war. And what i had thought over the st few years is that we have we have a polarized country and i thought we had a liberal country. Then, my i modified my idea and i said, maybe we have three countries here. Liberal conservative and liberal, conservative and a theocracy. Then i got a hold of this book, im still reading it from the library called american nations by colin woodard. He explains there are 11 nations here and our Division Goes back to the religious wars in europe centuries ago. And those characteristics were brought over to this country and those divisions still exist. And i think i would rather see us split off into our own little countries here rather than going through another civil war. And i have no ax to grind on either side and god bless everybody thats listening to washington journal. Thank you very much, greta. Host all right, tad. Kansas city star. Chris wants every u. S.

Jessica, a reporter, has on twitter the letter, the request to all states yesterday requesting information on voter fraud and copy of their voter rolls. You can find that information on twitter and if youre interested in that story. Then theres also in the wall street journal this morning. Shane has this exclusive. Operative flynn tie saw clinton emails. He reports before the 2016 president ial election, a g. O. P. Researcher mounted an independent Campaign Emails he believe was stolen likely by Russian Hackers. Conversations with members of his circle and others he tried to recruit, the g. O. P. Operative peter smith complied he was working with retired flynn, t general mike at the time a Senior Advisor to thencandidate donald trump. In an interview with the wall street journal, mr. Smith, the g. O. P. Operative, said he knew mr. Flynn but never said mr. Flynn was involved and mr. Flynn didnt respond for request for comment. Mr. Smith died at age 81 on may 14, about 10 days after the journal interviewed him. The operation he described is consistent with information examined by u. S. Investigators probing russian interference. Theyve seen reports from intelligence agencies that describe Russian Hackers obtaining how to obtain emails from mrs. Clintons server and transmit them to mr. Flynn via and intermediary. According to u. S. Officials with knowledge of the intelligence. Tom in clinton, maryland, a democrat, hi, there, tom. Good morning to you. Whats on your mind . Caller can you hear me ok . Host yeah. Caller a reasonable diagnosis of Donald Trumps administration and what hes trying to do. I believe that this guy, michael flynn, and Paul Manafort and all those guys who are agents of the Trump Administration former agents are actually money collectors. Donald trump i think is a money launderer, and this is how hes made his money. His casinos have all failed. He hasnt made money from casinos. What they do is these guys go over and collect the money from these dictators and what not, go out and buy property, invest in banks and get a percentage of the money theyre getting from these people. And then they go ahead and spread this money around and people can get the money at their leisure. I dont know how they do it. But basically what i feel as though theyre doing is theyre money collectors. This 500,000 that clinton got from turkey, thats trumps money. Hes going to protect flynn until he can get that money from flynn and put it in his bank account. Host and tom caller i dont know if he puts it in his bank account or not because i dont know his tax returns. Host do you have evidence of this . Have you heard this on news outlets . Where are you getting this . Caller this is a diagnosis that ive come up with that i feel as though speaks for why he is fighting so hard against the inquiries into russia and his collusion with the russian government. Host ok. All right. Ill leave it there. West in ash lynn, kentucky. West, a republican. Good morning. Caller hi, how you doing . Host you got to turn that tv down. Listen through your phone, please. Caller ok. Im here. Host all right. Youre on the air. Caller yeah. Im calling about just the hypocrisy on the left. They talk about donald trump and all these thingses they are accusing him of but there is no evidence at all. You want to compare that to the Clinton Administration and how he had a scandal with monica lewinsky. Of course he was attacked over that. It was found out it was a fact. They have no evidence of anything on donald trump. I mean, its crazy. Why not just give the guy a chance . Host should they report should they report, west, the media on the details that are coming out about the investigations into russias interference in the campaign, into the election . And the possibly caller of course, yeah. Host so that is fair game . Caller i dont watch fox news blindly. I watch cnn, cspan, everything. But to blindly follow somebody because thats who you are, if you are republican or democrat, it just doesnt make sense. I mean, if we find out that he was colluding with russia, i will be the first one to stand up and say, but what evidence is there . There is none . Host what about a possible coverup . What if theres no proof of collusion but an effort to cover up or obstruct the investigation . Is that wrong . Caller of course, yes, it is wrong. But what im saying is report the news factually. Dont just make up headlines to get viewers agered and stuff and get impeach trump like Maxine Waters does, like all these leftists do. It just doesnt make sense. Why not get behind the guy, give the guy a chance, and if something comes out and investigate him and impeach him if host ok. West is out there in kentucky. Opioid addiction, climbs 500 percent. This story in usa today by ann steele. In an analysis of millions of americans medical claims showed the diagnosis of opioid use disorder surged roughly 500 between 2010 and 2016. The claims that the analysis is based on comes from 30 Million People with commercial insurance provided by blue cross and blue shield. Opioid use disorder was 40 times more likely in patients prescribed high doses for a short duration compared with low doses for short duration. So that in the wall street journal this morning. I keep saying usa today. Wall street journal with that story. New york times, front page of their paper this morning, medicaid data as to hurdle for health bill. Projected medicaid spending under a Senate Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care act would be 30 lower after two decades, according to the congressional Budget Office, which detail how medicaid changes would cut more deeply as they go fully into force. The Budget Office analysis created a fresh challenge for Republican Leaders as they try to muster support for their bill even as senators scattered to their home states for a 10day july fourth recess. And then the front page of the wall street journal, trumps travel ban goes into effect and the New York Times the wall street journal reporting under the new rules issued by the white house, a sister or husband of an american citizen wouldnt fall under this travel ban. But an aunt or a grandparent would. And then late on thursday, the administration reversed course and included people engaged to be married on the list of those with close family ties who are exempt from the ban. The new rules also came under immediate legal challenge. Challengers in one of the two principal legal cases from hawaii made Emergency Court filings late thursday asking a federal judge there to clarify what the Trump Administration can and cant do with its partial ban. They argued for a broader set of exemptions. It was unclear when the court would rule. And then also stories this morning about the situation in iraq. This is wall street journal after seizing mosque, iraqis declare isis is close to defeat in the city of mosul in iraq. And the Washington Times has this story on their front page. The Texas Attorney general ken paxton warned thursday he will sue the Trump Administration to stop the deportation amnesty for dreamers unless the government voluntarily phases out the program. In a letter joined by nine other state attorneys and the governor of idaho, mr. Paxton said the 2012 amnesty created by president obama and continued by President Trump is illegal. Speaking of immigration, the house yesterday passed two pieces of legislation dealing with immigration and sanctuary cities, cracking down on undocumented immigrants and the localities that shelter them. This legislation urged by the president. Roll call reporting it faces a murky fate in the senate. Lets go to bob in indiana, independent caller. Hi, bob. Good morning. We are on open phones. Go ahead. Caller good morning, greta. And i kind of feel a little sorry for the journalists because im certain because of their access to areas of turmoil and hostile areas theyre under pressure to be recruited by intelligence agencies, that you have big corporations and Government Agencies and politicians pressuring them to kill unfavorable stories and to push favorable stories for them. They have to be under a lot of pressure. Host ok. Laura, garland, texas, we are in open phones. Good morning to you. Caller good morning. I was listening to your program. I would like to Say Something pertaining to fake news. Donald trump always talks about fake news, the news is fake, fake, fake, fake. Well, hes the originator. Hes the founder and hes the c. E. O. Of fake news when he put out the report about president obama, former president obama and ted cruzs father, what he had to do with the killing of the president , and hes never retracted on any fake news that he has put out. Hes never apologized for any fake news that he has put out. He has never apologized to the women that he has degraded. In o this man is a goat sheeps clothing. Host all right, laura. Vince in columbus, ohio. Republican. Hi, vince. Caller hi, how are you . Host dwoorning. Caller this is the first time i tuned into your show and i like how you format your show, taking calls from everybody. I really appreciate that. Host glad youre watching. Caller i am going to tune in more often. What i wanted to bring up and you know, President Trump is no angel by any means. He fights dirty. And he does that because the media the media is not for him, ok. Now, fox news, they are for the most part. But i mean, one thing i want to point out, 93 of what cnn has reported against the president are negative. Now, when obama was in office, 77 of what they reported on obama was positive. So i mean, thats, you know, those are real numbers. Host vince, where did you get those numbers in case people are interested . Caller the 93 was just leaked by there was a watch group that went through all of it, and 93 of what cnn published on the president are negative. And thats why they are getting shut out of you know, thats why they are not getting the questions they are used to. There are thrst no problem i have no theres no problem i have no problem with criticizing him. His tweeting, hey, i disagree with the tweeting. But you have to understand, this guy has been attacked since day one. Thats his only way to fight back. And i dont agree with it, but i think what people are missing is hes made a lot of money. Hes 70 years old. He knows hes made a lot of that money maybe not the most honest way in the world and i honestly think you have a 70yearold man thats trying to help the country. I really believe that. Now, you may not like his tone or how he does it but his intentions are good. Theres a lot of corruption in washington. I think hes committed to cleaning it up. Now, he was part of the swamp when he was out there as a businessman, and i think hes using that knowledge of how the corruption works. I really think hes trying to make the United States a better place. Host ok. Vince there in columbus, ohio. That does it for our program this morning. Thank you, all, for watching. Enjoy your friday and your weekend.

I wrote him a memo saying i think you have dean testify, you have to keep the five tapes. I didnt think they were going to be damaging and keep the tapes, stuff you should tape and i said get the rest out and burn out and shut down this special Prosecutors Office now before this thing grows into a monster and i didnt know it at the time, but nixon had called in two gentlemen and entertained this idea and talked about burning the tapes. I didnt recommend burning tapes. They were executive privilege existed and if he got rid of them and said in effect, impeach and be damned, he would have moved right through it. President nixon said, if he had burned the tapes, as i urged him to do, he would have survived and i think thats right. Sunday night at 8 00 eastern.
