ttgeg behind this folk singer, rob quist, who brought bernie sanders here to speak to this packed crowd in missoula. bernie sanders is really putting his political muscle behind this little-known candidate in the hopes that rob quist could pull an upset. stephanie? what are people talking about there in terms of this election? reporter: they are talking about health care. the only person who mentioned the russia scandal, the russia probe was bernie sanders. and he basically talked about it to say that s not that important, really, in the great scheme of things. the things that important to americans are jobs and economy and health care. we had a very, very memorable conversation with a young woman named jenny who spoke to us. she was coming into this rally
have james comey in front of the senate intelligence committee. what will you be listening to during that hearing? well, my big concern was, was there an effort to interfere with law enforcement? and again, that s not a partisan issue. we ve had a tradition that we re a nation of laws and we would never want to see any president or any president s subordinate to interfere with that and is there credible evidence of that and that s really what i m going to be listening for and hope to have answers and then i do want to emphasize this bipartisan independent commission so we can get the answers out there and move on. most people back home, back in california, they want us dealing with jobs, want us dealing with health care, wages and they see a washington that isn t dealing with their real concerns. let me ask you about that. speaker ryan came out and said to the american public, you know, there are lots of headlines but don t worry, we re behind closed doors doing the people s work.
