bstruction of justice released june 7 by committee on fast and furious? shows not t report only obstruction of justice, but corruption within the system. 1720 firearms were transferred to mexico, order some firearms were used to kill exican government officials, one was used to kill an american citizen and has been totally by the mainstream media and c-span, i was wondering why. for raising the point. washington times headline, illegal immigration up along the outhwest border, they write, steven dining writing illegal immigration across the border in the south appears to have jumped 27% in may, according to omeland security. steven dining this would be breaking a three-month streak of declines nder president trump and suggesting the slump in migrants has bottomed out. patrol tom and border who oversees much of this

acknowledge increase in but attribute it to uptick in the washington times. "new york times" uptick in the washington times.

caller: yes, good morning. i have three points to make quickly. host: okay. i want to thank the trump campaign for exposing to world, the nd the true heart, mind, spirit and face of conservative movement. you will, 80% of who elicals, the people claim to be christians, they voted for a man to be the resident of the united states, the number one male role model in america, man who says, he can to women he doesn't know and grab them by their genitals. had to pay est he $25 million to settle a fraud lying, stealing people's money. and a first lady who is the role model to every little girl in america who made her living for years as a nude model. can you imagine if michelle model for een a nude one day, much less several

years? point one. oint two, the start of the second administration, any of this evidence you have against forth ad been brought against president obama, he already would have been voted you have ice and people all over the country trying to put him in jail. majority andublican the house republican majority in the senate, with the same would have been impeached and convicted in the any republican in the senate or house who says that is not true, i challenge them to on t.v. and take a lie detector test to that point. point is this, years nt obama for eight tried to get infrastructure built that would have fixed up docks, airports and so on, and these conservatives, these good people they would much rather

than president obama, create jobs for their people. and one final thing, i guarantee you, if things get hot for will a, firemp, he mueller and b, declare war on north korea. host: comment from rayford in maryland. in new york, bob calling on democrats line. hi, bob. my er: thanks for taking call and thank you to c-span. i'm confused with much of the talking points that aren't being refuted by particular.in the leaking his notes to press. i'm a little confused. it ake it sound, terming illegal leaking. no classified documents were leaked, it was his notes to be published and made public to the

appreciate.h we i'm confused democrats aren't refuting that there is nothing wrong. is how new system made, most reporters get information rom subjects and get it into the news stories. i'm confused. emocrats got to do a better job. host: all right, bob, thanks for calling back. trump, pages of politico, the president gets -- chief of staff until july 4 to clean up the white house. threatened to oust the chief of staff, but many are skeptical he will follow through. the president set deadline july shake up that could reince priebus as chief of staff. to let t deadlines only them pass without pulling the trigger. scrutiny ent is under the russian

investigation, intensifying pressure on his white house team. that story in politico starting this morning. the russian calling from myrtle beach, south carolina. caller: how are you today? well. doing thank you for calling. caller: oh, god, i have several concerns. first of all, i want to say, they better check before they with this mess because president donald j. trump is not any constitutional laws. okay. laws.better check the none of those have been broken. as far as i'm concerned, i comey speak and they were not doing anything but the thing that shocks me, most of the senators enforcement, n law have been attorneys and prosecutors and they know the law, they must not be familiar the constitutional law ecause he has not broken any laws. okay. ow in terms of the memo, how could you try a man based on a

memo, if he thought those were be official legal documents that those notes were mportant, comey should have turned those notes in to his working. while he was i don't buy the fact he was afraid. 56-57 year old man be afraid? e said he was a seasoned worker, professional with experience. uh-huh, you can't do that type highest policehe officer in the united states and you are afraid, not with all the cases that comey messed up in the past on. of things one a lot o mess up a lot of important cases. for example, messed up the case where the young man killed the ine people at that church, he messed up a lot of drug cases. i mean, it was a lot of to be fired, him he was not competent enough to do the job. i think that the democrats are

, basing it ontism personality, who they like the they betterey think have sufficient evidence before this mess and th quit playing around with taxpayers' dollars, because that are doing. president trump is trying to ush legislation and we are paying them to govern, not to lay around with president donald j. trump. host: thank you for calling. to cut you off, want to get another call or two in. georgia race, the democrat, according to the polls here, this published in times, has 7 n percentage point lead over the republican, covering georgia seat. this election comes up in a couple weeks. seven-point edge. polls.look forward "washington post" talks about

that donald trump blatantly lied the f.b.i. wasat in disarray and that some of the employees were very upset with him and that he had gotten fired. one of is weekend, on the news stations, they had a works in the who f.b.i. and he said the f.b.i. is in disarray and that many of the f.b.i. were the very upset with comey and it is new start.ave a comey said it was a lie, but the actual people working in the a lie.said it was not secondly, i'd like to state, has written a book and she's been giving speechs and she said she lost election because the russians and she was a woman ell, i'm a woman and did she bother to ask any of us for endents why we voted trump and not her?

i've had this discussion with and nobody has said that the russian influence or made the as a woman difference. hey voted because of her integrity and her honesty and felt she didn't have any and against any of us were obama's policies. thirdly, on the media, i'm kind a media junkie and political junkie. news watching all of the channels. some am so disappointed in of the channels. i have stopped watching them and fact, there are some journalists, they really aren't journalists anymore for what they are practicing and teaching young people. slander ld be sued for and liable. some of the stuff that comes bad, but t, i feel there is a couple channels i just can't watch f. they think people in thishe
