Part, start with you, ambitious nineday trip covering five countries, the three largest religions, what do you make of its scope . I think its a great scope. The kind of trip you should do. Ashame he has to do it to get back some of the momentum. But i think he will. You can see the hand of people like general mcmaster as well as the president. Theyre thinking broad, thinking strategically, theyre thinking about americas alliances and how to position ourselves in ways that help us in terms of security but also economics. So i think its a very good thing for the president even if it comes at a difficult time. Charles gina, some are saying maybe it comes at precisely the right time, getting away from the u. S. Press allowing agenda to breathe while he makes new friends and strengthens relationships abroad. The man knows focus, charles. Lets look at the history he has. Hes run a business, there have been constant distraction, he knows how to deal with the distractions and this is part of the magic what i think is donald trump. People will criticize him for lack of experience in politics, but he perhaps wins each time over whatever weaknesses might be displayed just because he knows things like how not to be distracted by media leaks and other things. He knows good and well are not an attack on him, theyre an attack on the American People. Hes doing the work of the American People. Charles gina, what do you think could happen overseas during the trip that could change the narrative even at home even against the media that we know launched the war against candidate trump a long time ago . So many things. Like was mentioned, meeting with religious leaders hes been accused of somehow bigoted against proving to the whole world hes going to do things that are material like obama really never did. I think obama went to be wined and dined and play a little golf, but i think this president is very serious about moving his agenda of, you know, improving the Business Climate in the United States and reforming trade and reforming our entire, you know, standing in the United States. So i think thats what hell do. Charles paul, to that point, President Trump going with 25 Business Leaders in a variety of business industries. I dont think a lot of americans know we actually went to a trade surplus with saudi arabia last year, theres a lot of room for growth with us there. So i think for one thing, if youre talking about an economic agenda with america first, were going to come away with good deals from this trip. No question, already, as you know there are ceos from some of our largest corporations are already there, theyre on the ground before the president gets there, theyre working deals. This is the scope of the president s view that not only does he need to put the United States back in the leadership economically and in terms of security in that part of the world that obama had made our name really a pariah among many of the people. He gets the tv image, the longer story is this is an administration on the move. Yes, there have been hiccups but the administration is on the move. I give credit to National Security team too as well. I think general mcmaster has been help putting this together. Charles gina, from the optics of president obamas first visit around the world, which lets face it was apology tour, it was filled with a lot of bowing and subsequently followed up with policies that put iran or saudi arabia, the palestinians over israel and turned upside down longterm relationships we had and many people believe made an unstable region more dangerous. I think thats such a great point, charles, this is going to be the contrast opposite of that. This is going to be about america positioning again from a bargaining again from a position of strength. This is about america first. But that doesnt mean, this is President Trump, the master negotiator. He knows how to talk to World Leaders and tell them whats in it for them and negotiate that deal that is best for both parties. Its very telling, charles that the moment he got on that plane to go there today, the New York Times and the Washington Post saw fit to leak a new fake news story. That tells you how threatened they are by the fact hes making this trip right here, right now. Charles typical 5 00 bombshell came about an hour and a half earlier. Exactly. Charles i want to ask but that, paul, you would think at some point maybe the American Public may start to turn tone deaf to some of the things because theyre all steeped in Anonymous Sources or fancy memos or not corroborated among anything but conjecture . They are tired of unnamed sources, people reading letters other people wrote to other people into a reporters telephone. That doesnt make sense, if the president has Forward Momentum on economic deals, security arrangements, critics have to reevaluate them, he is understanding how to put the United States in leadership with muslim nations in ways that makes us more secure, hes getting them to do things he was saying in his campaign we need to see. I think the American People will see this trip has a possibility of being a big success for him. Charles paul, let me ask you, you talked about the white house itself, some of the issues involving President Trump just a function of him being a businessman, not a professional politician, and the world of really lets face it rattlesnakes where at the end of the day, most of them are out only for themselves, even when you think theyre on your team . No, its exactly right, and i think the president s experience in business has stood him well, particularly in new york city, stood him well. There are enemies everywhere, even for reasons you cant what happened their opposition is. Its ideological, emotional, it has nothing to do with profits. Thats something for them to get used to and i think given the circumstances he came into, theyre not doing as bad a job as they could, it could be worse, and the learning curve is in their favor, particularly with a trip like this, and getting the investigation about the russia collusion off the front page as much as possible. Charles gina, i want to invent the nevertrump meter, right after the inauguration in his joint speech speech to the joint session of congress, you would have had that nevertrump meter going to now were on board, now were on board. In the last two weeks gone decidedly back to the other direction. A lot of the folks are coming back to original positions and theyre hammering President Trump as much as the Mainstream Media, as much as democrats, you know, republicans or others who have never wanted him to be the standard bearer for the party, and are you worried about that having as detrimental impact as all the other things that the president faces . No, im not because i think they discredited themselves over and over again. The American People are looking at things like 400,000 jobs created last month. 4 gdp. Their country feeling safer and better economically than its felt in years, about the optimism and the hope thats out there, especially on the economic front but even on the Foreign Policy front. And i dont think the average person cares all the intricacies with comey and i dont think people care about that. I think people care about whats hitting them at home when they get home from work every day, and theyre going to start taking note as our economy continues to improve. Thats the real traction that trump has that the media is oblivious to. Charles no doubt that optimism polls are extraordinary nearly high, whether its Small Business, paul, nevertheless, we saw the market have a really big hiccup on the front pages of a lot of papers. Have you people that arent in the maets paying attention and thats some form of a proxy. Having said that, how critical is it that President Trump come way, from this nineday trip looking, a, president ial, bringing back tangible goodies and saying to the world, hey, i did it, i represented america and dian i did an amazing job. The market has come back some but its down for the week. What you say charles is exactly right. Id be a little worried if the president does not go on the offensive and stay on the offensive, have the cabinet out there. Mnuchin talking about tax cuts. Everybody needs to be on the offensive because the communication from the white house Going Forward needs to be trumpeting things hes doing and achieving, and i think they can do that. No question he wants to do that and were better from that. Charles real quick, gina, please . On the other hand too, if the media on the left decides not to cover, it i dont think it matter as much, i think people select their news at this point. There are intelligent consumers and people try to find out what did trump do on the tour if the media decides not to cover it by and large. Not so sure it matters whats covered as much as what he accomplishes while there. Charles thank you very much.

The harshest offenders being cnn, cbs, nbc and the New York Times. You are at the salt conference in las vegas, the media came up a lot. You seem incensed about it all. Source. Theyre relying on someone elses, when theres a mistake as weve seen on the front page of the New York Times where they literally claimed that somehow comey asked for more funding for his investigations into russian ties with the trump campaign. This anonymous source that comey was asking for this right before he was fired. What we found out later is it is not true. Now that story was on the front page of the times, a1 above the fold. How do we get that back . There is no correction, reporters dont admit that was wrong, they just go on. There are literally no consequences to what weve seen. Correct, its not right, its not helpful to our democracy if were having people leak for partisan,. Charles, theyre not whistleblowers these people, they are not speaking truth to power. They are literally doing this because they have an interest in the 2020 election. Thats partisan politics inside our intel agencies. The media are not going to call these people out. The media want to see this happen. They thrive on leaks, and so i think what we have to do in the public is we have to demand regulators in congress and the Trump Administration figure out who these leakers are and prosecute them and fire them. Charles ric, i agree 1,000 . Want to bring in two strong critics of media bias. Adrianna you wrote an article earlier this week to rics point, the magnitude of what were starting to see right now. Exactly. Yesterday i wrote a column in the Boston Herald talking about media bias how we have never in American History seen a venomous media go after a sitting president. The new harvard study thats been released reaffirm ways when stated in my column that President Trump is not getting fair and neutral coverage, and i think what is happening, charles is in the good old days of journalism, journalists were politically neutral and reported stories based on facts. That is long gone now for the most part. There are so many Mainstream Media journalists who are political operatives and they are not covering the news fairly. Look at how many times President Trump has had a success that they dont cover. But then they manufacture crises after crises after crises, as ric pointed out a lot of the stories arent even true and try to create this false perception that theres chaos in the administration thats not true. Charles i want to bring this up. And it hurts our country because charles adrianna let me bring this up. To solve our countrys problems. Charles you hit on a great point. We got to bring up this because every day now seems this week theres been a 5 00 bombshell, it happened today around 3 30. Two bombshells, one from the Washington Post, one from the New York Times forcing spicer to put out a communique that more or less said listen, were focused on issues. Bree, these are timed to catch the evening news cycle, tid to catch the white house offguard and have been successful in that regard. Youre completely right. I dont know about you, im sick of bombshell after bombshell that are only to be disregarded later on and told the leakers and the unnamed source who are supposedly feeding them all this information ended up kind of not being true. We saw this earlier this week when the media was insisting that donald trump leaked classified information to top officials, top intel officials unequivocally denied. That the media is snarky how theyre covering this. In that study there was some figures about the way that the medias been covering the donald Trump Presidency as you said. 98 negative whereas i think only 30 or 40 was negative about president obama, and you know all throughout obamas tenure and all throughout his presidency, his administration would leak classified information all the time and the media didnt care. This double standard shows that the media isnt about holding those in power accountable. This isnt about telling the truth. This is about pushing a partisan agenda. Charles the day and age of the bipartisan media even trying to be bipartisan is long gone. Guys, thanks a lot. Its been months and so far no evidence, yet democrats today calling for independent commission to investigate the Trump Administration. If this is not a witchhunt, ill tell you what, it certainly is piling on. Well be right back. Are allergies holding you back . Break through yo allergies.

His connection to the kremlin and what they were involved in, which we and i consider to be collusion. I really do believe that much of what you saw coming out of trumps mouth was a play from putins playbook. Just to be clear, there has been no actual evidence yet. No there has not been, no has not. Charles antitrump crusader Maxine Waters proving no evidence of collusion between trump and russia. Why are there five investigations . Maybe President Trump is right, maybe this is a witchhunt. Gianno, Maxine Waters is priceless at this point, but for her to auntie maxine, right . Charles auntie maxine, shes out there and gone crazy and the brief moments of sanity, she does admit there is no evidence despite months and months of investigation of any collusion. I absolutely agree, and i know a number of the folks on the trump team, people that work in the white house and integrity is beyond reproach, seen it time and time again. I must tell you, charles this is a good thing they appointed a private investigator to look into. This not because i think theres a there there, but it has the potential to drag us into the midterms, we saw what happened to Hillary Clinton which i believe there was a there there, though they said there wasnt, it did damage the campaign. I dont want any republican to damage majority in the house and, of course, in the senate. Charles no guarantee how long, mark, this is going to last. We know youve got four or five ofcial invesgations, the democrats today calling for yet another independent commission. Yeah, heres the thing, theyll come to a variety of different conclusions. To me its absolutely nuts and you got to say, if this is not a witchhunt, it is some form of piling on. Well, as a lawyer, what i would call this is a fishing expedition, no judge would allow, no evidence of wrongdoing ever presented. Not a single shred by one person in the media or in government, yet theyre authorizing the huge investigations, doesnt meet any standard of fairness or reasonableness. Charles boyd, what do you make of it . One of the interesting things, charles, it is a lot of witchhunt components in it, no facts on the table in terms of incriminating evidence. But the important thing for the administration is. This administrations run out of energy long before they run out of opportunity to fulfill an agenda. Its incumbent upon those inside the white house to make sure that the agenda is so galvanized and strong that they can ignore some of the stuff, let it go by. I think having mueller will be helpful that it will give it certainty, which will be a good thing. They have to galvanize around an agenda and cant let the media every day at 3 30 or 4 00 drive their cycle. Theyve got to drive their own cycle and be out in front and not make unforced errors with Early Morning tweets or late night rants. Charles speaking of that go ahead, gianno. That becomes difficult when you got 98 media bias on the multiple,. Its journalistic malpractice in the press time and time again, this is one of the most difficult presidencies ive ever seen. Considering that and knowing that the media is out to get and you what i would consider a witchhunt, thenou got to allow some of the things like the Russian Investigation behind and you this particular probe will do just that. Charles real quick, mark, if you call it a witchhunt you must feel guilty otherwise you embrace the conclusion, again, making a counternarrative real tough. It does make a counternarrative tough. Heres the real narrative. We have reached a moment of maxium media malfeasance, no one should believe what they hear from the Mainstream Media unless hard evidence is placed on the table. The American People are getting. That the American People dont believe in the media by and large and thats where they should be, theyre getting wise to the game. Charles i like that, three ms, maximum, media and malfeasance. Latest faux pas, some are saying its a sign the spillage is overflowing. Well discuss it next.

Charles well, its no secret that thencandidate donald trump was an unorthodox campaigner, but what many thought Larger Forces and the power of the white house, if you will, would keep him in, quoteunquote, check. But as Charles Krauthammer puts it donald trump, impulsive, often selfdestructiveness has not changed since he campaigned, but it seems as if congress, the courts, the state, the media, the cabinet were things within bounds that came in the past ten days. The country is now caught in the internal maelstrom that the mind of donald trump has created. Hes talking about chaos, and he goes on to say that the guardrails are not holding. So the big question is, is charles out krauthammer right . Here to discuss, gillian, adriana and rick. Reduction, ill start with you rick, ill start with you on this. Essentially, what it seems like hes saying is that the Founding Fathers did not prepare for a President Donald Trump x. So all of the safeguards to our republic respect working. Arent working. Midwest, they feel Like Washington is completely broken. I think thats why he was elected. Charles charles gillian, some people equated revolution. Look, this is a huge, i think, political opportunity for the republicans to get a constituency that they didnt have before. You bring up the union vote. But i think were seeing a crisis that doesnt have that much to do with media bias. I mean, obviously, its a crisis of Donald Trumps own making. The medias not the one that had an inconsistent message coming out of the white house, that chose to surround themselves with prorussia people charles what people are you talking about . For starters, manafort who is advising a putin puppet in ukraine. Charles right now though not anyone who currently is involved in the white house. You cant make that claim, or you wont theres been quite a great deal of scandal, and i think you cant distance the advisers who he chose from who he is. Krauthammer was saying that the gop has thrown away this opportunity, but democrats trying to get rid of the president would be setting a precedent for an executive branch coup, and thats a bigger mistake than a flawed candidate. Charles adriana, what are your thoughts . Yeah. I have to say i believe a lot of these crises that gillian pointed out are manufactured. We could spend an hour talking about the fake news stories that the media is pushing so that they can get control of the house and the senate in the midterms and win the next 2020 election. This is a partisan politicians, you know, and so many liberals in the media who are pushing false Charles Adriana thats really what this is all about. Charles do you like the idea that President Trump is destroying the status quo . Isnt that what the American People actually wanted him to do . Exactly. It wasnt working, its not working for millions of americans this isnt working either. [laughter] so many people voting for donald trump, there were people during the primary here in boston, you know, massachusetts waiting in freezing cold weather to vote for donald trump in the primaries. I mean, democrats, swaths of them all over the country voted for the first time for a republican charles, can i make a point . Charles yeah. Look, what we just heard from the left here is that donald trump should be impeached because he hired Paul Manafort no, that is unequivocally not what i said. Well, let me finish. Okay, before you jump in, let me finish no, you just said what you think i said, and thats not it. Im saying impeachment through the 25th amendment would be catastrophic. This is what the left duds, they shout down opinions that they dont like. Just because you shout he down doesnt mean that im going to stop youre putting words in my mouth. Idoesnt mean my opinion is any less valid. You have to be able to listen to alternative opinions. Then when you have a chance, you can speak. But shouting people down is unacceptable. Thats a really charming lecture. Thats a very charming lecture when [inaudible conversations] the only example that you gave was Paul Manafort. No, i actually said that there are a lot of problems of trumps making, among them the inconsistent message that i did not say collusion. That is something that has not been proven, but i do think the Trump Administration has had a problem with consistency of message thats a different subject. You put Paul Manafort with russia. I think thats a real problem. Charles guys the different messaging points are a different subject. You were saying russian connections, and then you said charles one second, guys. Weve got to wrap it up, but i do want the ask, rick, youre excited about the notion of shattering the status quo. The bottom line is those guardrails maybe need to be taken down or readjusted. Thats your opinion. Yeah. Trump is doing, the swamp is going to swing back. Charles all right, guys i think weve got to be very clear about that. Charles weve got to leave it there. Thank you all very much. In the meantime, the major averages rallying bigtime into the weekend. Im going to tell you when you start to continue to add because this rally is not going to stop.

Leonard wasnt able to be adopted, so the police took him in. Thats right, he is now a police officer. Great news. Charles what a remarkable week for the market. Certainly was the biggest test of 2017 as stocks exhibited the kind of resolve that, for me, is clearly a buy signal. Its not just that stocks climbed off the canvas, but they were led by industrials, materials, energy names. I mean these, again, are the Building Blocks of our economy. They need major capital infusion, they pay good wages to workers all around the nation, particularly those in the heartland. To be sure, major indices didnt completely recover, and some like the financials. Theyre still struggling. Listen, financials were in trouble before the dip, but theres that big dip, and the catalyst was the political hysteria out of washington d. C. We know its not going to be over for a long time, and the daily hits there Anonymous Sources will probably be as regular as White House Press briefings. While i preach longer term buy and hold, the fact is this was the perfect dip for traders. As for longterm investors, theres some critical resistance points on the upside that i think are buy signals the you want to continue to add. Thats right, buying on the upside, not on the dip. S p resistance begins at 2388. Nasdaq, you see resistance beginning at 6105, breaks out at 6170, and the dow today hit 20,850. We get through 21,0, thatson, what do do you make of this ween the markets . I think it came out pretty good. I thibig gapup open on april 24th and april 25th, and traders like to go back and fill those gaps and take the profits and, of course, they blame the news from the white house, but i saw the technicals. Charles so you think that wall street was just looking for an exiewls, and the final whatever the news that came out two, three days ago was the final straw or at least the final excuse for them to take some profits . Yes, i do can. I actually think that was the case for this scenario. And i think its evident by the way that it reversed once it clos simply a technical move. Charles so where do we go from here . What are the catalysts going to be . Im saying i think the market goes higher. I love what im seeing whether its corporate earnings, whether its information from industrial production, those cornerstone things that mean, validate higher p. E. Ratios. Where do you see this market going . And then theyve started sort of tightening the rates. Were going to really see some shrinkage in the hundred supply, theyre calling for taking 2. 5 trillion off of balance sheet, and it shrinks the money supply, and thats going to weigh on to go higher through the summer, and after that rate hike in september, i think were going to see a major selloff. Charles okay, im writing this down october, charles. Charles youll be in studio. Well talk about it again. Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Thanks, charles. Charles a special programming alert, dont miss wall street week tonight. In fact, heres a sneak peek, former fed chairman ben bernanke. When you ask consumers how do they feel about their own financial situations, theyre more upbeat than theyre been in quite a few years. So i do think that the engine of the recovery will continue to be consumers and households and income has been Strong Enough that its going to support their spending. Charles did bernanke just jump on the trump train . The full interview, 8 p. M. Right here on fox business. And immediately following that, dont miss bob massis property man at 8 30. Well, its been a while, but someone may have gottennen a new nickname from gotten a new nickname from President Trump. Guess who reportedly is a nut job . Think about it, tweet me. Well be right back. Break through your allergies. Try new Flonase Sensimist allergy relief instead of allergy pills. It delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. Most allergy pills only block one. New flonase nsimist changes everything. I count on my dell small for tech advice. With one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. Charles we have serious breaking news for you right now. Former fbi director james comey agreeing to testify in open session at the senate intel committee. Here to discuss with us, were going to bring back gina louden and kirsten hag lund, but first, senator richard burr, chairman of the Senate Select committee on intelligence and senator mark warner, vice chairman of the Senate Select committee on intelligence, today announced former federal bureau of invest director james comey has committed to testifying in open session before the committee. The committee was scheduled to open the hearing after memorial day. Major, major news, kirsten. What do you make of it . Its obvious that jim comey wants to tell his own story, right . Theres been so much talk from friends, people that claim to have been in the room with him, that know him, that have access to his notes. He wants to share his own story, and i think its, obviously, very beneficial for our congress to have that as well pause theyre out there because their out there trying to get their opinion on this, and they want to be seen as credible to their constituents as well. Transparencys good for all. Charles it seems like james comey has been setting this up for himself, getting his narrative out there through leaks and preparing, i guess, what will be an offensive here. I dont think hes going to go there and just sort of sit there and take questions, i believe hes going to go on the attack, i think hes going to building a case and try to indict prede trump in front of the world. What are your thoughts . How is he going to contradict what he said on may 3rd under oath, charles, that no one has tried to impede his investigation . He said it under oath, charles, so how is he going to contradict that . I think you look at some of the sort of desperate ekes coming out about hiding in the curtains and rejecting a hug from the president , it shows a lot, i think, that perhaps comey has had a vendetta against trump in the first place. Trump is good at reading these things. Perhaps trump read him like a book and should have fired him. Charles im going to bring in jesse jane duff. To that point, the same source that said comey sort of recoiled in disgust from having to shake and sort of hug donald trump in public also said he had a deep personal admiration and relationship with president obama. So, you know, those sort of distinctions, i know we all like who we like, but for the person in charge of the federal bureau of investigations, that seems pretty odd to me. Well, hes had a relationship with the clintons for years. I mean, go back and hook at the records. It shows in 1996 he had worked with bill clinton, and he also is the one that sent Martha Stewart to prison. This guy really has enjoyed being on the forefront and being attractive to the clintons, and i agree with you, charles, 100 . And also donald trump, that he likes to showboat. Hes going to go out there and proclaim his innocence, that he was just the best thing since sliced bread. I dont trust this, and i do think that the democrats have an agenda from the moment this has started. Charles heres the thing, kirsten, weve got several investigations, right . No less than five democrats today calling for yet another one, and then comey going out there and testifying. Maybe the good news is that this will to a swifter conclusion rather than being drawn out because thats one of the fears people had with the assignment of a special counselor. Right. That usually does take a longer time. You know, i think the Trump Administration really needs to stop playing the victim, but rather get out ahead of all this insofar as messaging. And he did do a good job at the press conference with the colombian president where every time he was asked about these investigations, he turned it toward his charles first, though, he gave sharp answers. No, i wasnt involved. And for someone who is not a practiced politician, he did what a politician does. They need to continue on that. And if they say theyre all good and clear, then all of this should just validate that. Charles i want to bring in herb london. Herb, this is major, major news, comb hawaii to testify before the Senate Intelligence committee. Your thoughts on that and also your thoughts on mueller, day two of the mueller announcement. Itially, it was sort of kumbaya, this is a guy both sides like, but some things are beginning to come out that maybe he wont be as impartial as initially thought. The difficulty i have with the special prosecutor charles by the way, is it special counsel, internal prosecutor . Two different things, right . Special counsel is the correct terminology. Very often they run amok. That is, they become rogue figures largely because they want to get a notch on their belt. And so when you engage in testimony, and my friend Scooter Libby fell into this category, it was known from the outset that Valerie Plames identity was known by many different people. Scooter was asked the question about where were you on the night of september 20th. He gives an answer. They say, you know something . We have records that say that is not true. As a result, he became culpable. He lost his license, his reputation was destroyed. One of the difficulties you have with the internal counsel is precisely that, youre not entirely sure where the investigation will lead. Charles on the other side, startsome are saying perhaps to go down rabbit holes that may bring into light some of the things that happened during president obamas term, perhaps some of the things involving the clintons including the clinton foundation. So maybe if this thing goes down certain paths, maybe its not republicans who should be worried, maybe its democrats. I think youre absolutely right on that. I think that that is exactly how it will probably go. And dont forget exposing some of these leakers as well. But heres a if the leakers even exist to the agree to the degree the Mainstream Media want to convince us of. Newsweek reported that comey had said that a leaker told them that the Obama Administration had told him n to follow up on an investigation. So the if were going to look at, you know, you start to go down these rabbit trails, like you said, and if were worried about obstructing justice, those kinds of things are going to come out and might implicate the Obama Administration or the chintops. Charles hold on there. Major breaking news. Were going to take a quick break, and well be right back. Then smash it into a tree. Your Insurance Company raises your rates. Maybe you shouldve done more research on them. For drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise your rates due to your first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. You know how painful heartburn can be. For fastacting, longlasting relief, try doctor recommended gaviscon. It quickly neutralizes stomach acid and helps keep acid down for hours. Relieve heartburn with fast acting, longlasting gaviscon. And helps keep acid down for hours. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. With it, i earn unlimited 2 cash back on all of my purchasing. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Which adds fuel to my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Charles quick update on the breaking news we just told you about, former fbi director comey agreeing to testify in open session at the Senate Intelligence committee. This blockbuster coming down as President Trump kicks off a fiveday fivecity, rather, nineday trip which begins in saudi arabia. Again, there the goal multiple goals, but one, uniting the muslim world against terror and also setting up economic reciprocity, if you will. Also theres a proposal of an arab nato with saudi arabia sort of leading the way there. Want to bring back herb london and jessie jane duff. Before we talk about the trip, guys, i do want to and i find it curious on more than one occasion comey said he was never intimidated, he wasnt pushed around, and somehow this mysterious memo is filed somewhere. Who knows, maybe well find that out, but im hearing he had the legal obligation if he really felt there was some form of intimidation to tell a superior and, number two, how come he didnt say anything in public . It makes you a bit suspicious about what was in the nature of this memo. Plus, the fact it was time after time when comey said, you know a something . I am dealing with a completely dispassionate kind of analysis. I find myself somewhat, i think, questioning the veracity of this. Charles jessie jane, and, again, i want to switch to the trip, but do you think its right that hes going to have this open forum to more or less try to take down President Trump . Because we know its going to be comey versus trump, and its going to be the biggest free event in the world that weve seen. [laughter] well, the fact is also republicans are going to be able to ask him questions too. So hes going to be put on the spot by trump allies. Theyre going to call him out and say so why didnt you disclose this information when you had your hearing not even a few weeks ago . Where was this disturbment that you felt the and what areour other memos, by the way, such as when you met with Loretta Lynch when she met with bill clinton on the tarmac . How many other memos do you have . Lets see hem all. It will open up a can of worms. I assure you, there are going to be a few pup be. S that come punches that come from the donald trump side. Charles we may also find out why he tried to blend in with the drapes too. [laughter] that being said, the big news this weekend is this trip going into next week. And, herb, the thing that caught my eye, and i thought about you immediately, the idea of an arab nato ive been working on this for years, charles. In fact, i had submitted a proposal to the government through the london center, and so its come to pass. Its not an arab nato, its a sunni nato. Youre talking about egypt, saudi arabia, bahrain, jordan. It is the sunni nations. Because this serves as a counterweight to the ambitions of the shia. What is really going on here is that you had this tilt during the obama years in which the nuclear deal was signed with iran, and it made the sunni nations very nervous. What trump is doing is hes restoring confidence in our former allies saying to them, you know what . Weve got your back, and if youre worried about iran, as you should be, we can counter that by creating our own defense condominium. Charles jesse jane, some worry though because the current system, the current nato with our european allies see where theyre not paying their fair share, they dont necessarily always pull their own weight when it comes to actual combat. Here we are in the most dangerous part of the world perhaps committing ourselves treasures, lives and money. Are you okay with that . I am, im okay with this nato, the sunni nato as herb has lou good evening. Fired f. B. I. Director james comey agreed to testify in front of the Senate Intelligence committee. That committee announcing comey will testify in open session which will be scheduled after memorial day just about a week away. This follows a coordinate attack on the
