That. Not true, not true cpac stunner. The crowd turns on a conservative writer after she calls some in her party hip k hypocrit hypocrites. This hour she joins me to tell us why herm message was so unwelcome. And ivanka in south korea and whether her efforts play any part in a diplomatic thaw. House intel chairman devin nunes squaring off with adam schiff over the fisa memo he offered. Its important for the public to see the facts that the fbi acted appropriately in seeking a warrant from carter page. Theyre not part of some deep state as the president apparently would like the public to believe. Ive been on the committee for ten years, jake. This is the first time the republicans have ever taken any issue with any fisa application. I dont think its a coincidence that it serves the president s interest to do so here.
