Mistreated when you compare to the ways others were treated. ed: double standard. rachel: we want equal justice under the law: turning now to your headlines. we begin with a fox news alert. a california police officer shot and killed and another injured during a standoff with a person barricaded inside of a home. right now it s unclear whether the suspect involved is at large. los angeles homicide detectives are on the scene assisting in the investigation in pa mona we nowf three hostages killed in hours long standoff inside the country s largest veterans home. jennifer and christine and jennifer gonzalez were found inside the building in unitville, california north of napa. albert wong shot himself. he was kicked out of the
About. rachel: and republicans in congress. ed: devin nunes and others who have been exposing this fisa abuse. what jeff sessions is say something reasonable. the inspector general at the justice department has been looking at just not the fisa abuse but other problems. the inspector general. rather than short circuit this process. let me get this report soon. it better be soon by the way. because we have been hearing for months and months this report is coming. there are republicans like the president who feel like this is stall ball. pete: worried they don t have the same subpoena power as special counsel. ed: just a report. jeff sessions is saying get me that report. and then i will act on that and that might mean a special counsel who does have prosecutorial power to investigate crimes. pete: it all kind of blurs together. i thought michael horowitz was investigating for the most part the hillary clinton email investigation. how it was handled by the
Rocket that doesn t reach the outer atmosphere, we re not going to talk about you. but president trump, you know, he inherited something a little different. he inherited north korea at a time when they have been harder to ignore. ed: that was remarkable bit of truth there. if you listen closely i always thought as a senior state department advisor in the obama administration it s best to ignore kim jong un. that s largely what the obama administration was doing. rachel: right. ed: as he said himself, president trump inherited this. rachel: also, he was a former clinton person as well. clinton had the same strategy as barack obama. and we saw the system work. the state department and their experts are always saying we know the way to handle these kind of guys like kim jong un. and the truth is, he is just a bully. throw out the script from the state department and follow your gut. that s what the president has done and that s why we are here now.

We have been have been kicking this can down the road. there is a possibility of nuclear war. donald trump has to do something. and he ll come out of it stronger because even if he walks away without winning anything, he will have made that step. and all his critics remember, ed, just a few weeks ago were saying it s outrageous. he is calling him names. he is calling him rocket man. now they are upset because is he going to meet with him. ed: this is going to be world war iii now all of a sudden may have peace talks and still not satisfied. right. ed: one quick point before we go and look at history which is that sarah sanders at the white house podium seemed to be walking some of this back and saying well, we are not going to meet unless certain conditions are being met. is this white house though trying to rewrite the terms of this meeting? well, yes. they their negotiations begin before you get there in fact, the negotiations should be done before you get there that s the lesson
