People tearing down to historic statues and dragging them away. At least 20 states and dc have had a statue removed, torn down or vandalized by protesters. The president slamming the desecration and pushing local leaders to take control. They are tearing down statues , desecrating monuments, and purging dissenters, that is not the behavior of a peaceful political movement, it is the behavior of totalitarians and tyrants. If you give power to people tha demolish monuments and attack churches, and sees to be streets , and set fire to buildings, then nothing as sacred and no one is safe. But new York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo with a different take. Can you overdo it . Of course you can. In new york, i dont think wev overdone it. I think its a healthy expression of people saying lets get some priorities here and lets remember the sins and the mistakes that this nation made, and lets not celebrate it. Newt gingrich the former House Speaker and fox news contributor, also the author of
Sourced. 99 are getting pushed around and the 1 are not giving a dam. Amazing that this is the second story of the day, a huge one. Obstruction of justice. Reports out that the special counselor is zeroing in on President Trump perhaps with criminal charges surrounding james comeys finding and trying to halt the russian investigation. So much to cover. Good to be here in washington where were going to begin where House Republicans are meeting as we speak to talk over yesterdays tragic shooting. The house officially convenes in about 60 minutes, but today no such thing as business as usual. Not after this. Each and every lawmaker arriving here this morning. It is painful, painfully aware, that one of their leaders, majority whip Steve Scalise remains in Critical Condition, hospitalized just a few miles away. Youre looking at live at Nationals Park where the game is still scheduled for tonight. This game, this unity, important more than ever. And our team is covering every angle. I want
Justice. There is a credible case of obstruction of justice against donald trump. You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire comey. Obstruction of justice. Is it to you . No, its not. Both of you were clear on meet the press, that no russians ever attempted to contact you during the campaign. Correct. You did not speak to any russians during the campaign, is that correct . To the best of my knowledge, never. Friday was my single worst day as a u. S. Senator. Republicans passed tax plans in both the house and the senate, but now they have to get their plans on the same page. Some lawmakers, including democratic senator john tester of montana, decreed the move, arguing lawmakers were not given enough time to review the bill, which was riddled with handwritten, sometimes barely legible notes. Take a look at this, folks. This is your government at work. Heres the bill as written. Heres the modifications that are in it. I can re
Muellers investigation into cohen, paul manafort, as well as michael flynn. Of course, his former National Security adviser. Lets get to the White House Briefing room where hans nickels joins me now. Hans, these tweets clearly seem to indicate that something is going on behind the scenes. What else do we know . Well, we know that there are general messages. The president tries to frame this debate. There may be specific messages. Is there a message not to roger stone, not to cooperate in holding out the possibility of a pardon . And he seems to be getting more attenuated with his tweets. Attacking bob mueller. Heres what the president was saying earlier this morning. Bob mueller who is a much different man than many people think in his out of control band of angry democrats, dont want the truth. They only want lies. The truth is very, very bad for their mission. You know, last week some of these tweets made sense in the context that the president had just wrapped up his written respons
