uncorroborated, the president himself corroborates most of the articles that are out there up to the one about what he said to the russians and house.ite i just wonder what it is that defend him people and go against their best interests or the interests of country, including congress because theme thing president gives us all the need.ce that we he's, you know, i want to say about what he has done that i don't know whether of or what they expect him to do for them. but i recall that as soon as he the white house and seemed like the first executive turn back that quarter of percentage interest rates that age president obama had given to the

ago that he said, with all due speed, law. i just find it so ironic that there could be such a divide. most importantly, the people who are pulling the strings are so, i don't know a nice word to say, just mean-spirited. >> host: do you think the police community divide was getting better and now getting worse? where do you think that stands. >> caller: i go back 40 years when i was an emt in boston working side-by-side with the police force. domestic violence cases, shootings, stabbings, hangings , we were all there together.

you are asking somebody who is jaded because i've watched it. i'm also an american african-american female and i've experienced ugliness from police from for no reason at all. it's not just the police on the streets, it's who supervises them and who runs the department. it goes up the chain right to jeff sessions. you set a mindset. it's like the hazing that happens. nobody speaks up when there's ugliness. everyone is in the culture of, i'm not going to go across the establishment. i need my job, i've got kidsho to feed.line f >> host: pat is on our line for republicans.john.

>> caller: hello. i would like to talk about what "washington journal" has been doing for the last month or so and that is that i think you spend way too much time on minor issues for instance this morning, an hour on an unattributed story in the washington post when you are giving us a lot less time with guests that you have on that could actually answer questions because with these half-hour segments, the host, not necessarily you but thee ce host dominate the conversation and we don't get a chance to get our questions answered. people who aren't online at the moment it starts can't really join in. i wish you would spend more time on substantive issues and less on what looks like gossip in the first hour this morning. >> host: you think the story that came out is gossip.ding wit

>> host: before you go, does that mean there's more of a responsibility on the community here to do better and reach out to the police? is that where the responsibility lies? do you think there's responsibility on the police to see communities of color and meet them where they are? >> caller: what i think when it comes to personal responsibility is behavior. personal responsibility on the part of the community. >> host: dante is in florida, line for independence. the morning. >> caller: i want to talk about james comey. he was going to prosecute clinton but he met, lorettassio lynch met bill clinton on that

plane and the discussion was does james comey want to be the first fbi director to charge hillary clinton. for the first time and maybe a hundred years they tried to charge the defense secretary and it fell. he did not want to be the one to charge hillary clinton for the e-mail scandals because in the e-mail scandals, obama's name is inside. he would've been put to prosecute hillary clinton and then he would've had tochch investigate the e-mails which obama's name is in there and he did not want to prosecute because they would've ripped him to pieces and he would've been a racist for the rest of history. what they are trying to do, they are going to prosecute hillary clinton. she is going to get charged, but right before she goes in, donald will pardon her. you've got my words.future. inside information.
