or not they want to take these common sense measures that help save lives. just as the president said. congress needs to act. it has gotten sickening. people should be angry. and this is the time for action is way overdue. if this were a disease, if this were a virus that was killing tens of thousands of americans, we would have the scientists at the national institutes of health, we would have the folks across the country at the cdc, we would have that s right. all hands on deck. and yet we have this epidemic that s killing americans and nothing s being done. congressman chris van hollen, thank you very much for your time. the congressman mentions if this were a virus, if this were a disease, we one year ago today had the first american who got ebola. and everyone can remember the scale of the response, of the things that were motivated to make sure that disease did not spread, the absolute terror that people would be stalked by ebola, and compare that to the way we shrug

where is the evidence. you re a you re a lawyer. you know this has been going on for a year. nothing by federal investigative standards. chris, think about everything that you have missed covering because of the obsession with the russian collusion investigation, which the president has said as recently as today doesn t exist. and he also made the point that if there is any collusion, that it occurred with the democrats. you look at who paid for the dossier, you look at who was trying to pull different tricks to win an election they lost anyway, and that s very concerning to many americans. look, let s just talk about what hasn t been covered hold on a second. you want to cover who s up, who s down, what s up and what s down, the stock market, what s down is isis and unemployment. you can t just run through an explanation, trample the facts and move on. you ve got to give me a chance to get in there. wait. don t do that just because it

friend. good to have you. hello, christopher. congratulations on your new show. a fun four weeks ahead. i heard one of your nooursz resolutions is to allow my to finish sentences so i look forward to this interview. just return the favor. will the president sit down with the special counsel. this white house is cooperating and that hasn t changed. but will he sit down with the prosecutor. now he s saying we ll see, i don t know why we have to have an interview, very different, no? the president also said there is no russian collusion. your morning colleague told a radio show six months ago that she s got a little bit of russia fatigue and wonders if she should be covering from this from segment to segment and many americans agree. she got over it. she pushed through it.
