caller: who i don't understand the o in washington has taxes?ity to pull trump's to make sure what ties he has to russia. know that.e to i believe trump knows as much as flynn knows. host: why do you believe that? caller: because you think that know what was going on? host: margaret. aller: i think our security in this country is at risk. we need to know the ties of the russia.nt with immediately. host: let's hear from margaret kansas. democrats line. hi. caller: yes, this is one of many me up at is has kept night since this man got elected. racist. very he didn't like obama or he hillary and donald time he ked the whole

ran how putin was so wonderful weak, r president was so and to do this horrible when putin was gloating that he expel any g to ambassadors and then smiling, they already , told them all forget about the sanctions. manchurian candidate people by rounding up mostly color and throwing them horrible ing these things when this man is not -- person.asonist this is treason. out. should al be taken

what business deals putin has there. bannon. came from under a rock somewhere. we have really -- why? done this? host: okay. let's hear from texas.in >> yeah. i agree with most of what that other woman just said. am very concerned about this president that we have. he is frightening me to tell thank you truth. i'm afraid he's going

to get us into more wars and mess. in general. host: the "wall street journal" reports the resignation was accepted by president after information emerge while the president was evaluating whether to keep him in the position. a short tenure in the white house, less than a month. cia ell as the former director david petreus and vice robert howard. maryland, let's hear from peter. peter.ad, you're on. caller: good morning. this issue is on to the t with regards

u.s. and russia having a cooperative and relationship for the -- i think improve the uld national security situation not only here in the u.s. but for european union. and think a cooperative relationship. a good probably be person for that post. >> the washington post continues on the reporting thing. it was two officials that set a call opic of the relevant was the sanctions and that there

was no -- discrepancy between statements made by trump officials and what mr. flynn had discussed. earlier ld the post this month that he first met the russian ambassador in to 13 when he was director of the dia and moscow.rip to

of -- bef this is part afraid, be afraid, be afraid. scared. give this president a chance to do what he said he would do for people.rican i'm a black man. i'm an immigrant. for mr. trump because i believe that mr. trump the is giving voice to the millions and millions of orgotten men and women in this country and the press and all of you guys in the media and all of

media and all of this rioting in the street gives the president a chance to work for the american people. stop the violence in the streets. stop with the riots. california. from go ahead. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. to guys do a great service the public. it's unfortunate. i trieded to call during the last caller. i just want to mention that i live in california. born and raised. e's done a lot to try to heal i find wounds that -- it curious that -- it's hard to on this topic because it's self-evident. i have been watching the trump closely and n listening ost: thoughts on the general's resignation?

caller: yeah. it probably won't be the first one. know, a lot of people to be, like, try equal.p it try to change the course of history. so much ning himself with the soviet bloc yet we have right elationships with our nearest neighbor and ally. i just feel like the problem is corporate money. have to be a member -- i can't explain that with the time

like but it does seem trump as some sort of interest in those power plays taking place in the middle east and the power of nations and we've been -- es we can't lose sight of the fact nature of our government -- laurie, 's hear from georgia. caller: thank you. glad to know that he turned in his resignation. watching the andaigns since they started i have had suspicions of him closer ties with this russia situation than just him admiring someone and that bothers me. very much. and i do worry for the country and the safety of the country now.we have right and it bothers me the fact that

excuses for e make mr. trump by saying, oh, he's not been in politics long. this.esn't know give him a chance. the man that's been in the world or a long time and when he chooses to go right out in front f the camera and say the lies that he says or whatever, i've never seen, you know, they're not ive -- very thought of very highly as far as character sometimes but with his words to know that he is saying the the s that he says about media, the news people that have for to do, i am thankful the people that are in the white house that are speaking out and citizens what's going on behind closed doors that i people need to know about because we do not get the truth from these people that and representing the white house and i think that makes us look bad as a country countries.

and so forth. host: okay. let's go to laura washington. republican line. caller: hi. my comment is that there has or even -- proven that the security advisor flynn crime.ted any kind of a what it was discovered is that he may have spoke too much. the man did not have broken any kind of code or like that. and that's it. he resigned out of honor and trump is speaking for millions and millions and doing millions of and americans. what i see is we just got rid of betrayed tration that countries horribly and lied. i mean, obamacare? please. it was the video. on and on and on.

hypocritical and remember president trump wants to help this nation, this america and americans. and i have seen it and all i left is a he of resistance da which is quite frankly only the islamic state. for those of you who know the pan, you significance of the c-span bus that travels the country to public schools and places but also to tell about c-span. we do here at a new paint job is available where students who had a chance cently inn fact rerep pennsylvania to kick off the colleges and lack universities tour. several hundred students and bus ers climbed aboard the to learn about the ways -- to the them learn about

american political process. also want to thank comcast cable for hosting us in pennsylvania yesterday. atay it will be in baltimore morgan state university in baltimore. o to c-span.org to learn more about the bus itself in the community section. host: let's go to frank from new jersey. democrat line. frank, go ahead. you're on. to say i just want think all these democrats that call in are brain washed. they all have the same story. they repeat the junk they hear on these fake news channels and disgusting. the reason i called in on the democrat line is because you don't pick republican. every five calls, one is a democrat. you people are disgusting host: sandy, go to oregon. independent line. hi there.

go ahead. good morning. the whole russian thing is blown out of proportion. bashing on trump since he announced his candidacy started the whole thing with it was the russians and blah blah blah. it is really not true. proven at other news sources that it was our own agencies that iaked for other reasons which don't want to talk about. but what i'm really concerned national security. a million or 2 illion people to flood the

country and expect good consequences. point. one a second one is nobody's writing bout the three pakistani i.t. workers that worked for the making that were $160,000 a year and got arrested the computers there and also grabbed some ntelligence and i'm worried that there might be some ramifications from that. i'm wondering if you have to say -- if you heard about it. it was reported on fox news a little tidbit. but they didn't go into more details and i haven't seen it at news site host: calvin lives in chicago. republican line. go ahead. caller: yes. hi. just wanted to say national flynn y advisor resignation was pretty legitimate. don't really know the under reasons to it but i

everything with hat's going on now, it's very progressive. their termined as far as state in ogressive moving forward. yeah. and i think that everyone as a hole together should be amazing. in chicago. calvin if you're familiar with the magazine variety whether on the the website, a recent article -- it's on their joint interview with three of the network news cbs, nbc, and abc, they've combined together for a joint interview about views in of what at the do

and news and information they deliver to their viewers. again, if you go to the variety you can read that for yourself. montana. good morning to you. you're on our independent line. ahead. caller: good morning. what i would like to say about the general flynn issue about removed from office is that he tlebutt did lie to the vice president. he did lie to trump. couple of other people. and he kept this. he went through the confirmation. through.t now, when it did come out and did not tell the truth, they so they did the right thing. they said you embarrassed us. go.e letting you they're tired of having the kind overextends that itself. they're there to do a job for the people. what they're going to do for the people. and they're going to do it in a fashion.nt

now when i say transparent, the with s everywhere everything he does. and he's showing the people it done that way. is it easy? no. is he doing it? yes. hard things to make our government what it should be. and he is getting crucified for it because the the government doesn't want the government open to see ow and why they do the things that they do. it needs to be brought forward nd to those who are not doing what they need to should be pulled out and removed as well. that is draining the slump. ow, as far as people being scared, i keep hearing people calling your show saying i'm scared. of? are they scared pipeline? terrorism? definitely alive and well. shooters. going broke with health sure.nce for

bullying. loss of jobs. have that on lock. a tanked economy. eing discriminated against for your religion, political views, sexual orientation, race. been going on. host: tom, from ohio. democrats line. caller: yes, sir. crazy i sound like a republican but, you know, the know,ion is what did trump when did he know it, what did the national security people know it?when did they before know about this the election and keep it secret? with the fbi director coming out about nonexistent e-mails right before the election. people tried ity to tin nuance the election. -- to influence the election. lot of questions out

there that really need toe be answered. caller: one of the people you follow on twitter is our ongressional producer for craig caplan. rose from illinois. you're next. line.ican caller: hi. you know, what's misleading, you on your front screen that says national flynn resigns r over russia contact. e didn't resign over russian contacts. he didn't break any laws. lying resigned over is to the vice president. misleading the vice president who went out and spoke on his behalf. any of his

employees that lies to them. they need to work together as the ceo whether it's president of any company, country, or anywhere and he lied. keep people on staff like that. o you're misleading and it makes them look like it's something sub versive when you contacts instead of trying to protect his own hide and lking behind the back not explaining it to the vice president correctly. view is ther point of the nsa leaking this to the news media instead of presenting it fixingpresident and them it over rightfully like he would normally do and he says he would board.verything above ou're supposed to be a neutral

television program. you ponte shouldn't put that up there. you should take it down. that's all i have to say. thank you. -- et's go to joan, are minnesota. wanted to say that i don't think vice know and that mr. flynn lied to him. patsy and was made a got.eserved what he tactic too.versary without any consideration of he's doing. the people of this country and the money that he's spending, theirs. so i think there's a lot of trump going on behind

that we need to know about. thank you. host: the president tweeting out about this situation earlier today and he says the real story there's so many illegal leaks coming out of washington. i dealey be happening as scats.th carolina will we be able to see actual quotes from the i would like to see for the actual conversation. >> do you think there's nothing there? i know you want to see the ones.l i don't know if there's an you.er for
