Reporting the National Security adviser Michael Flynn has resigned. He has been under fire for his contacts with the russian u. S. Ambassador before President Trump took office. A number of sources say flynn inappropriately discussed u. S. Sanctions on moscow imposed by the Obama Administration. And just recently we learned that the Justice Department had warned him that flynn may be vulnerable to blackmail by russia. All right, lets go out to our senior white house correspondent, jim acosta. Jim, i suppose his relationship had been tenable, or growing that way. But was it the potential idea of blackmail that was at issue, or was it because he misled mike pence, the Vice President . I think it was that the administration had warned him a month ago, that was certainly a turning point in all of this.

This is something that Chuck Grassley said is not going to happen. I talked to one of those democrats on the committee, sheldon roadhouse. He said he may be a witness to the fbi investigation. The only hesitation that i have about saying that he absolutely ought to come before the committee is that he is now a witness into any legitimate invest
This is bulls and bears. Gary smith, john wayfield, lee carter and julie, welcome to everybody. What impact will withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord have on american jobs . Say. It would be hugely positive. This is just the kind of liberal boondoggle that we elected donald trump to get us out of. This was always they used to say in my day sleeves out of the best. Other countries gave up nothing. China said we will reduce our emissions in 2030 just when we would have estimated even without the paris accord they would reduce emissions. Pakistan said they would reduce emissions to the fullest extent possible which means nothing. Those countries gave up nothing. The paris accord is fine if we gave up nothing, we didnt. We are pledge it to spend 100 billion a year. Think what 100 billion could be for jobs around here. You could build a wall. You could fund the next thousand teslas. You could give the money back to the citizens of the United States and corporations so they could come u
