christchurch is a beautiful town. i ve been here many times. and it s a very peaceful place. it had a real hardship to endure with the earthquakes that rocked the city some years back. but that was a natural disaster. this is manmade, far more painful in that way. and the city is reeling. this is the biggest mass shooting in the city s history in the nation s history and the prime minister said it is one of the darkest days ever for the country of new zealand. so, they are still coming to terms with what s happening. and that investigation, i should also mention, is not just going to be one here in new zealand. it s also got tentacles that are going back to australia. he confirmed an australian is one of the suspects and he confirmed that the intelligence agencies in australia will be working with their counterparts here in new zealand. we also know that later this
yeah and i don t think whatever the founders meant, they didn t envision this. here s what i think was going on. comey just got fired. the fbi is reeling. the senior leaders are trying to figure out which end is up. seems like the president did it to obstruct an investigation being lawfully conducted. i imagine that a lot of things were said and perhaps done in frustration at the time. i don t mean nephariously or recklessly, but there is no road map for this. there is no way to know how you investigate a president who could be a witting or unwitting agent of a foreign power. i m not saying he is, but there is no road map that shows you how to do this. so from rod s comment about what do you want me to do, wear a wire? i imagine it was said
the president on friday said that they support him on the shutdown. not everyone is happy, but for now, how the politics of this whole episode plays out, that s an open question we want to get into with gloria borger, michael caputo and paul begala. gloria, who do you think has the upper hand tonight? you have the president threatening to declare a national emergency in order to get a wall built, and a split congress with negotiations seemingly go nowhere. look, i think right now, this president is reeling, because he s not he s not winning the narrative here and he s trying to change it. he s trying to create a crisis where i believe one does not exist, and if you look at the polling, you have 62% of the people in this country oppose the building of a wall. you have a majority of people, according to a bunch of polls, who say they blame the republicans and the president more than the democrats for a shutdown. so, what the president s trying to do with this speech tomorrow night is
fbi, when you have a difficult problem, when you have something that s really perplexing, you bring all your people together and you encourage them to speak openly and freely and put all of your ideas on the table. and that means from the mundane to the thoughtful to the crazy, and you talk it through, and hopefully by the end of the day you eliminate the crazy and you select something else. so is it possible they talked about this and then eliminated it as a possibility? it s possible. i think the more likely explanation, however, is that it was just plain old sarcasm. remember, at this time, a very fine director of the fbi, jim comey had just been fired. the department is reeling. the fbi is reeling. and so i can t imagine that it occurred to them that they would do something absolutely unprecedented, wire up the deputy attorney general and send him in to talk to the president. it doesn t make sense to me for a whole bunch of reasons, including by the way, it would make rod rosenstei
but only according to the governor s terms, and not the. i appreciate your reporting. century state movement in california is reeling. san diego s board of supervisors voted in favor of directing the county s attorney to file a brief in support of the federal lawsuit against california s sanctuary policy. joining us live from california, the chairwoman of the san diego board of supervisors, kristin gaspar, also running to succeed the republican congressman. great to be here. ed: talk about the significance of what happened today. it was a big day for san diego. today marks the day that we said it sent a clear message to governor brown enough is enough. san diego, where can committed to putting public safety first. governor brown s clear violation of the u.s. constitution has put san diego citizens at risk. the board voted to move forward
