Hi there. What are you doing way back there . Come on up here. [laughs] thats better. Im glad you dropped by. I have a little story i think you would like. It is about a four Legged Friend of mine. I dont need i dont mean him back there. This happened a while back in the Beautiful Mountain country of new mexico on the Lincoln National forest. It was made time, dry and hot, but still nice and peaceful. All the animals in the forest were having a grand old time in the sunshine of spring. [applause] there was one little three month old fella in particular who did not have a care in the world. He was spending his time having fun. A growing and a prowling and a scratching. Thats right, that america did not have a care in the world. Until somebody, a two legged somebody got careless. It took several hundred men five days to extinguish that fire. 17,000 acres of timber were destroyed. Timber that could have been used for homes and furniture along with emails that could have turned it out. A l
Gorbachev in the final years of the cold war. Now u. S. Officials say russia has deployed just such a missile, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It happened secretly in december during the Obama Administration, but it is now up to President Trump to respond to a deployment which u. S. Officials say is such a blatant violation that it calls into question the value of future arms control treaties with russia. And just four days ago an incident similar to last years buzzing by russian jets of a u. S. Navy destroyer in the baltic sea happened again, this time in the black sea, first a russian patrol plane made a low pass close to the uss porter. Then two russian jet fighters followed a short time later by a third. U. S. Officials called the flybys unsafe and unprofessional, and one more sign the cold war is back, a russian intelligence ship bristling with antennas to intercept communications is making its way up the east coast of the United States after leaving port in cuba.

The high profile foreign visit comes amid yet another damning report focusing on mr. Trump and russia. The bombshell report published in the New York Times tuesday cites four current and former american officials with direct knowledge of the fbis classified probe into russias meddling in the 2016 election.

Pelley the shadow of moscow just seems to haunt President Trump like a curse from a russian novel. Last night the president fired his National Security adviser after government surveillance showed that Michael Flynn was dishonest about his contacts with russias ambassador to the u. S. This comes weeks after u. S. Intelligence said russia hacked democratic computers to influence the election and after mr. Trumps campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was fired in part for his links to prorussian forces in ukraine. Now the f. B. I. Is investigating whether flynn lied to its agents and whether he violated a law that bans private citizens from negotiating with foreign countries. Flynns talks came before mr. Trump was inaugurated. Major garrett is following this. The president was very concerned that general flynn had misled the Vice President and others. Reporter White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Michael Flynns forced resignation came down to one word trust. The president evaluated th
He said the flynn matter could be folded into ongoing probes of russian hacking. The Intelligence Committee has been looking into this thing all along. Reporter but house intelligence chairman devin nunes said he isnt interested in investigating flynn, telling reporters, it just seems like there is a lot of nothing there. And utah republican Jason Chaffetz, whose Committee Examines government wrongdoing says he wont investigate flynn either.
