Something to my wife on april fools day but then i thought, you know what, tricking her into marrying me was more than enough prank. [ laughter ] i guess what im trying to say is im growing up, i really am. Tonight from phoenix, arizona the Ncaa College Basketball championships. Two number one seeds, North Carolina versus gonzaga. Or gonzaga. Im not honestly sure which is correct. So i alternate them every time i say it. I say it differently. Im right at least half of the time. But Gonzaga University was founded in 1887. This is interesting. It was founded as a bet to see if students would want a diploma from a school that sounded like it was named after a monkey disease. [ laughter ] turns out they do. Actually, i did look it up today. I was curious. Gonzaga university is named after an italian saint, a young italian saint, aloysius gonzaga, who looked like a pretty tough dude. [ laughter ] not the guy you want to take on in a pickup game at the park. [ laughter ] he will dress you up

Or substance directed or suggested that mr. Comey stop investigating anyone. Reporter comey testified he was not fired because he had lost the confidence of the fbi, as the president claimed. By saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader, those were lies, plain and simple. Its my judgment that i was fired because of the russia investigation. Reporter a focus for republicans, the president never explicitly told comey to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn. I took it as a direction. I mean, this is the president of the united states. You may have taken it as a direction but thats not what he said. Correct. Reporter and regarding the president s tweeted threat suggesting that their conversations may have been recorded. Ive seen the dweet about tapes. I hope there are tape. Reporter comey said russians are coming after america and will try again. As you would imagine no shortage of reaction to all of this
