Whats true is we see visuals of racial tensions, violence, and so forth, because of smartphones and the media. What weve seen is surfacing, a lot of the problems that have been there a long time. Tensions between police and communities, hate crimes of the despicable support has recently surfaced on facebook. I take these things very seriously. President obama, that was him late today. So charges against the four people in this sickening crime. What more do we know . They are facing a number of different charges including aggravated kidnapping, battery with a deadly weapon, and hate crime charges. The hate crime charge stems from the racial epithets we can hear in the video. And police say the victim has a mental disability and they believe that played a role in the assault. Weve learned three of the suspects are 18 years old. Two are africanamerican men work the africanamerican women. The victim is white. And were learning more about exactly what unfolded. Police say the victim was han
And welcome back. We begin the hour with breaking news. Chicago Police Announcing hate crime and kidnapping charges against four africanamericans accused of tying up a white special needs teenager and torturing him while broadcasting it on Facebook Live. The video youre about to watch is disturbing to say the least and is hard to watch. Grabbing that gee. Damn. The victim is 18 years old. A young man with special needs. President obama calls an the video despicable while talking to a chicago cnn affiliate about that specifically and racial tensions in general. Heres how i think about it. I dont think its actually to say Race Relations have gone the worse. I came to chicago in 85. You were there during the wars. I promise you, Race Relations havent gotten worse. But what is true is that in part because we see visuals of racial tensions, violence, and so forth because of smartphones and the internet and the media, what weve seen is surfacing i think a lot of the problems that have been t
Power. Rex tillerson. Michael caputo, Jeff Sessions attorney general for donald trump, and members of the trump family itself. This matters. Its serious. Our battleships werent sunk and our towers didnt collapse a la 2011. But no mistake, 2016 is are year we should mark on our calendars. And its still going on. The attack didnt end on election day. And will continue, as you have suggest, unless we, all of us in this room, stop it. A admiral rogers you have proudly worn that uniform your entire career. I am proud of your service and grateful for it. But i would ask you, sir, not even with respect to this specific investigation, to use your own words as someone who no doubt has been in theater, who has lost brothers and sisters in combat, to explain to me, but more importantly, to the American People. Dont assume they know the answer. Tell them in your words, why we should care about russias active measures campaign aimed at destabilizing our democracy and that of our allies. In your wor
Basis of comeys handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton which candidate trump celebrated and praised director comey for and nearly unprecedenteunpreced potentially explosive. I understand this was being planned over a week. We know this is something President Trump has been considering. What werine being told is he w confirmed two weeks ago, the Deputy Attorney general. He had time to pull together the indictment of comeys handling of Hillary Clintons emails. He talked to Jeff Sessions and they agreed they no longer had faith in comeys ability to lead the department. They took that to the president and he signed off on it. Why this is all happening now when this is information that the president has celebrated in the past and is not new to this administration. The letter the president sent to the now former director comey is weird. This is certainly raising a lot of eyebrows in washington and elsewhere. I want to read you the portion particularly confusing inputs letter to com
Constitution and to the rule of law and the mission of the fbi. If the president asked you to do something unlawful or unethical, what do you say . First i would try to talk him out of it, and if that failed i would resign. You dont think director comey is a nut job, right . Thats never been my experience. Do you consider this endeavor a witch hunt . I do not consider director muller to be on a witch hunt. So the president s pick to lead the fbi saying the russia probe is not a witch hunt, although just hours earlier President Trump tweeted and said, it is indeed a witch hunt. This is from todays white house briefing. Why he calls it a witch hunt . Because the president knows very specifically any action or inaction that hes taken, and so i think thats pretty clear. Sarah Huckabee Sanders also saying the president has spoken with his son in the last few days and clearly, his tv interview he watched last night because he also tweeted, my son donald did a good job. He was open, transpare
