i said to him, what are you needed for? and as far as experience is concerned, the veterans administration which is approximately 13 million people, is so big, you koucould run the biggest hospital system in the world th
house and the senate. we know that the leaders in the house, speaker paul ryan, the leader were on the train. they are okay. but the tragic news today that there s one american confirmed dead. somebody who was traveling on the truck that the train hit. and we also know that there was one person who was critically injured and taken to an area hospital who was also traveling in the truck. we also know now that congressman jason lewis of minnesota was transported to a hospital. we have a photo of him with his neck in a brace being treated by medical percesonnel. we don t know at this point the extent of his injuries. we heard from an aid previously there was one member of congress who was hurt who was standing up when this accident occurred. everybody who was on the train felt a jolt, especially those traveling near the front of the train. there were laptops, cell phones went fly iing. as you point out, many members had their spouses, children,
guard. then also should have had gates. w
protests across the country. you can t make this up, we have the video evidence tonight. this comes as the house overwhelmingly passed a new school safety bill so it s time to protect our kids in school the same way democrats protect themselves. also brand-new tonight, the acting director of i.c.e. is fiercely responding to nancy pelosi who called federal immigration authorities cowardly and families whose loved ones were killed by a criminal illegal immigrants are demanding that the doj prosecute this liberal mayor of oakland, california, and also tonight, the liberals are racing to attack the first female cia director nominee. why? she was too tough on terrorists. what they won t tell you is that gina haskell saved american lives. also tonight, i have a special message. tell your republican congress meant senators to watch. we have all of that new information and tonight s breaking news monologue.
tonight we start with the bombshell development about former deputy fbi director and
we ll talk to senator amee klobuchar who is set to question the tech billionaire. but first tonight u.s. officials say north korea is willing to discuss denuclearization. russia is calling a chemical attack on syrian soil fake news. and china is locked in the opening rounds of what may become a full-blown trade war. and for real this time, the president is acting out a riff he used throughout his campaign, determining who is a friend and who is a foe. is that friend or foe? is that friend? friend or foe? friend or foe? he s friend. okay. i think he s friend. are you friend or foe? are they friends? friend or foe? friend or foe? friend. it s a choice the president has been disinclined to make where two men in particular are concerned, russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping.
