State. Then, its one year and one week until the election. But all eyes already on the polls. What do they really tell us and will todays frontrunners be tomorrows nominees. Also from one child to two. China changes decades of policy. Its hoping to grow its economy by growing its family. Will it work . And one of the worlds most famous scientists on dr. Ben carsons rejection of the theory of evolution. This is not something you believe in or not. This is a fact. It is a fact. Its just as much a fact as the earth goes around the sun. First, heres my take. I had an interesting visitor drop by my office last week, and he said something that stuck with me.

Friday afternoon. Im brooke baldwin. Thank you for being with me. Exactly one month into his administration, President Trump is harkening back to the good old campaign trail days. He gave a big speech in front of big crowds focusing on what people say was the reason he landed the presidency, the economy and jobs. Today the president became very first sitting president to visit boeings campus there in north charleston, south carolina. The president helped to unveil boeings 78710 dreamliner airplane. There the president praised the corporation that he once accused of overcharging the government. Remember that tweet from a couple minutes ago, air force one cost too much .

And i will never, ever disappoint you. Believe me. I will not disappoint you. I campaigned on the promise that i will do everything in my power to bring

Of course, we know about the dinner that happened in january. This Oval Office Meeting where comey apparently believed that the president was trying to get him to end the flynn probe, and he felt like it was important to document it, and so that is really what was behind this because he felt like there could be an ethical or legal issue for that matt
President s ongoing feud with the nations top Law Enforcement agency. Word that the trump and sessions nearly lost their new fbi director. We have learned that Christopher Wray threatened to resign because sessions was pruessurin him to fire or reassign Andrew Mccabe. The president has made mccabe a target over and over again, suggesting that hes biased, and questioning why sessions has not replaced him. Cnns Kaitlan Collins is covering the story from the white house. First, to our crime and justice reporter shimon prokupecz. What do we know about sessions speaking to the mueller team . We have been told this interview, the meeting with mueller and his team happened last wednesday. Lasted several hours. And presumably he was questioned about his knowledge concerning the firing of the fbi director and also the other key issue in this investigation, the contacts with russians. Remember, Jeff Sessions was leading the Foreign Policy team for the trump campaign. Members on that team have be
Republicans who oppose even modest reforms. Governor scott has also launched a state investigation into the Broward County Sheriffs Department and its response before and during the massacre. Cnns Kaylee Hartung is in parkland, florida, with that fallout. But lets begin at the white house with kaitlan collins. Till with be interesting to see if the president gives more clarity on what he wants done when it comes to gun control. What is the level of confidence . Reporter yeah, fred, it will be interesting. As a new poll shows, 70 of americans are now in favor of stricter gun laws, especially in light of that tragic shooting in parkland, florida. So the president has made several proposals so far, including improving background checks, expanding that system, raising the age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21, something that has been endorsed by Florida Governor rick scott, but rejected by the nra, who campaigned on behalf of the president during the election.
