very much. he will say the investigation is ongoing. typical when the f.b.i. is involved. he may tell us more than we expect. again, whatever he tells us on thursday, i m not going to be able to tell you on friday. shannon: whatever you can tell us. you are always welcome back congressman pete king. good to see you. bill: also in a moment president donald trump is about to have a conversation with vladimir putin. so how is this going to go? general jack keane will address that in a minute. shannon: you heard the house speaker defending that spending bill they worked out. we ll break down what s in it and what s not and debate about who really won this round in congress. democrats are winners in this. gop leaders are winners because they never wanted to shut down the government. more than anything else they re more afraid of shutting down the government than they are of isis in the united states.
violent but this is the most damage in all. may day demonstrations in 41 states with 77 people getting arrested. shannon: all right, dan, also violence in washington state as well? the only surprise is the mayhem was not in seattle which has seen a lot of property destruction and injuries to police over the last several years. police in seattle flooded the streets with cops and learned their lesson. kept a lid on the trouble. that wasn t the case in olympia where dozens of anarchists fought with police and local people. two officers got hit by flying rocks but injuries were minor. they carried signs like become ungovernable. they broke windows in businesses and banks. police threw flash bangs. a lot of destruction we ve seen in the past years. a relatively small number of people infiltrating a large crowd of peaceful protestors in these may day riots.
appropriate. u.s. military officials also said today that the thaad anti defense military system is operational in south korea and can defend against north korean missiles but deployment has been met from opposition from china. we re seeing two things here. trump reach out to allies in the region trying to get an alliance together to put pressure on north korea and also china. also seeing the military side of the uss michigan and carl vinson. the trump administration the stick and the carrot. shannon: benjamin hall, thank you very much. bill: a government shutdown avoided can both sides claim victory? our panel weighs in on that in a moment. shannon: jimmy kimmel opening up last night and getting emotional and personal. find out what brought that late night host to tears. i saw a lot of families there and no parent should ever
north korea can be brought to toe by their chinese cousins. shannon: what do you make of the president s statement that if the conditions were right he would actually sit down and meet with kim jong-un? we had ambassador bolton on earlier and in some ways it ups the ante. i offered, he didn t do it. i tried to give him off ramps. others say it is insane you would think about sitting down to meet with him. what is your take? it s the president s prerogative. if he wants to offer to do that with any world leader he has the ability to do that and the foreign relations power vests him with great discretion in order to interact with his counterparts in other countries. i defer to his judgment when it comes to that. that s what the constitution does. shannon: on the other side of the hill they re very busy with healthcare. counting the votes trying to see if they can get to vote on the measure that would essentially in some ways repeal and replace obamacare. a lot of folks on your side
of donald trump. in that sense some of the people who read the times op ed page might embrace him. we live in a litmus test society if you don t hold certain opinions on certain issues. he disnt denying there is climate change. you are not only to be shunned but personally attacked. it s that personal, vicious warfare that goes on in places like twitter that i find troubling today. bill: super sensitive stuff. bret stephens, we have a call to him. hopefully he can come on and explain himself more. thank you, sir. shannon: all right, right now we re watching on capitol hill where airline ceos are in the hot seat and getting ready to testify after customer complaints, videos that have gone viral. a house subcommittee investigating and looking into and giving them a chance to
