1:00 am
there was not enough information for us to draw a conclusion and they're going to go further and really grill people and make this spectacle go on and on and on and create the conditions that make it look like the president may have in fact obstructed justice this report that has come out today it is as we keep saying heavily redacted it is edited there is was going to do it apparently it's actually color coded all the way through and the fact that there is an edited version that will go to bipartisan congressional leaders on different committees we're told that would seem to be quite important probably more for the democrats isn't it as far as actually wanting to take this any further. i think it's extremely important because we have people like senator mark warner. and you know who's a democrat chairman of the house intelligence committee you know who has been very cautious and very careful of drawing all the lines on on russian can collusion i think that the findings that muller is saying clearly that there was no
1:01 am
evidence of collusion i think they're going to want to know as they already have access to cables and to signals intelligence and to things that you and i will never be able to see and while he didn't come out and say there was clear evidence of collusion he did intimate that they were close so we're going to see the intelligence committees who are going to have access to everything we're going to be able to look at their posture and see if they are in alignment with the mother report and its conclusions or they actually have a different read given the fact that they are able to look at means and methods out what we have from the field what we have from those classified intelligence sources because that was the reason that initiated the report obstruction is this different track but i expect the most serious investigations to come on the intelligence side about what the russians were up to and who may have participated in that if anyone
1:02 am
from the trump campaign and what about the man himself the man i'm referring to is robert mueller we talk about them other reporters that's become known we have not heard from him do you think we will at some stage. i think there is no doubt that robert mueller will make himself available he is in my view quite a fascinating. public servant in that he ran a mostly leakproof ship over twenty two months despite harassment from the white house and frankly harassment from everybody wanting to know who they were talking to what they had found what conclusions they had all of us looking for every any dimension or nuance from the various witnesses that were brought before grand juries and i think that he will respect the legal process and he knows he has a responsibility and a duty to appear if subpoenaed or called to testify in the house and we heard attorney general barr actually say that they had no problem with him testifying and
1:03 am
so that's one important benchmark here that the attorney general already made it clear and then and then the chairman of the house judiciary committee jerry nat'l of new york a democrat has already said that he plans to call on miller to testify so i expect there will be no rich resistance from mahler to testify and to elucidate the findings that he shared in this report final thought from you just for now steve and this is reading from page two hundred ninety of the reports we're talking about the then attorney general jeff sessions who told president trauma a special counsel has been appointed and donald trump's reaction was oh my god this is terrible this is the end of my presidency today he says i'm having a good day this is some turnaround isn't it for him to be saying back then and thinking oh my god it's game over and now he says yeah it's game over because i'm exonerated. absolutely turnaround look one of the things we've been witnessing in this white house is that his anxiety about this investigation has been so high we
1:04 am
all we are always worried whether he would you know declare war on someone is a distraction from what muller was doing this president we've we've seen the politics of distraction repeatedly from this white house trying to distract us from what they were doing but i think that now that he has read and seen and now sees himself beyond legal jeopardy he's calling this a total win now i would disagree with his characterization i don't think it's a total win i do think that he's beyond legal jeopardy from the house and from impeachment and from removal from office i do think he's in political jeopardy and his party remains in political jeopardy but i think that his deep anxieties have subsided after the release of this report and he's going all the way to the other extreme and saying and and wanting to now actually go from game over to now let's go after the people who did this to me say clemens will tell you again later on thank you for all your inputs. my pleasure still ahead the rest of the day's news

1:25 am
ninety nine one hundred households have access to a mobile phone. she wants to find out if a life up could help with issues like aids teenage pregnancy and other sexual health issues. it won't prove easy. so i'm trying to find out you know by now by some of the things that a bank would fund and says from the phone sabol that's house who needs it why why you have to sleep me with. three weeks out of the month but that's a good thing to go with the big assembly. i meant that you guys would talk of the point of words of one who didn't have that in mind when you when you can't do it not that i did that there wasn't the idea is that you you're getting to know the person you're getting to know maybe it's not even a conscious decision what the our actual decision indaba the women researching up a little more helpful
1:26 am
a lot of it all somehow infected or affected by serious viruses that comes through social engagement on this that so with that said so from a check on especially with young people as you know by teenage pregnancy is high besides clearly people told don't protect or don't use protection or don't see the need to use protection why is that like it's not like us until you say see right now because if things like teenage pregnancy do it again it will lead to misspeak this is b.s. i say show yeah maybe read you do you like help. while you go see need guidance of a career have. a life i could offer guidance on sexual health the question is how many you have you know and for inspiration the steps in my local internet cafes to say how can i help you tune in and surrounded by computer literate kids about
