heads are spinning on capitol hill after a wicked week of fights ultimatums and final drafts >> as you can see this is what we're talking about on 5@630. let's go. first, there were the details linked to russian's meddling and possible collusion with trump associates, former dnc chair donna brazile going for the jugular and the gop unveiling the biggest tax reform in decades. let's bring in our guests policy analysts matthew la rose and gop strategist james norton. james, let's start with you. trump's

everybody is watching to see kind of white knuckled in the administration. what will he do and say? what does -- what do we need to look for on his trip to asia? what are the key things that need to happen >> i'd imagine he'll use blunt language >> no. >> pretty much standard. i think he had pretty blunt language on one of his first trips when he was talking to nato needing to step up >> is that going to insight north korea? is that the concern that that language that he uses uses people are really watching what north korea is doing vi think the important part is he's going to china and meeting with the chinese and i think the alliance with the u.s. and china is critical. working with the chinese to try and try angulate north korea and south korea is a smart move >> what do you think maybe one

see >> i'd like to see us start to think about why we have to go here in the first place. the fact is we're needing to do this and this is a big deal going into china because we've damage our relationships with these countries. the best thing that you can have with your allies is free open and robust trade and trump up to this point in the steaks, has been really aggressively against all of that. i think if we think about maintaining our friendships with other nations from the beginning and keeping an open trading we don't have to worry about fixing them later >> let's talk about the roller coaster indictments. >> that seemed like a long time ago >> was that monday? >> tell me, your thoughts on what came out with that and what everybody is going to be watching for from here on out? >> i think obviously the talking point seem to be about it happened before the campaign, but i think there's no doubt that it's definitely a political blow to the administration in a sense that does it hurt politically, it will hurt on capitol hill. it starts to clock a little bit in the s

i think in dc it's all about hurry up and wait so we have to see see how it progresses >> the big focus when we heard the first indictments, it was manafort and gates, it's out there been you had the first guilty plea and the administration is saying we don't know papdoloupos. he was a low level staffer, a volunteer, damage, control wise, are they spinning this the right way, matthew? >> at the end of it, it comes down to, what we wanted to is make sure that we have strong structures in our political parties. because when people don't think they can trust the structures that are in place and this is true on the side of democrats and the republican >> which feeds in obviously to what we'll talk about, there's been so much focus when you talk about not trusting political parties, you know, the president would like us to talk about and we have about donna brazile. the whole issue with the dnc, fact that there was certainly in her estimation, some sort of, there was a signed agreement with the hillary clinton campaign saying, you're going to co

i don't think a lot of people are surprised by this, james. >> i think one thing about the democratic party is that they had super delegates and i think that issue is all more important than anything else >> which empowes senators, governors, these democrats and positions of power have a little more pool than typical delegates >> it's almost just as many a delegates as there are in state so if you had that many, which hillary clinton essentially had it was almost over, disclosure by done if a brazile, this is a political campaign, staffer at rnc and dnc are going to pick sides. >> if the rnc had their say, it wouldn't have been president trump, at least in the early goings >> sure >> matthew, what's your reaction with what donna brazile had to say? a lot of people are saying we kind of figured. this is kind of a

for the dnc, what can they do to make sure that this doesn't happen again. >> i think accountable is a big thing. nothing illegal happened. but this is still, there's a gut check issue here. are people going to be wanting to stand behind these people? and the democrats need to ask themselves who is it they want to be putting in power and making these better decisions? because let's be honest. the democratic parties in shambles, it might be fun to laugh at them but it's in everyone's best interest they get their act together. and come up with a consistent idealiology >> they would like to think they have smooth sailing going into 2018, mathieu and james norton thank you for coming in. president trump pushed hard back against any notion that the manafort gates indictments have any links to him. but are the chips stacked against hill. what will come of the terror attack in new york city. bergdahl will noter

scott bolden to break this down trending stories, good to see you. >> good seeing you. let's start off, off the touch. bo bergdahl, the president was not happy with the fact he's not going to serve jail time. when you look at this case and desertion >> very tough, spanned two administrations, but in the end, i think donald trump's comments influenced the judge's decision not in a good way. the commander in chief ought not to be politicizing what happens to bergdahl and the sentencing and what happened with him walking away from his regime being captured for whatever reason, berg at a probably should not have been in the army, sung he washed out of the coast guard and as a result, he was a troubled young man, in this case, the judge having listened to the arguments for about seven days or a number of months, decided to give him a dis

means he loses his pension and does not go to jail and for the five years he suffered at the hands of the enemy in afghanistan that that was tore her and trouble enough for him. it's a fair, a lenient sentence, a fair sentence be but really one that puts this behind us. there will be an appeal but this sentencing won't be up ended. let's talk about the new york city terror attacks, the two men had been arrested. how do you expect this case to progress from here >> the big issue is again, donald trump's difficult comments that don't help any of this. the call for them to be put to death already without fair trial. without due process. the call for them to be enemy combat s and stoned guantanamo bay, difficult to have a fair and impartial hearing and trial on this, but under the prior administration, the attorney general called for each of these

terrorists when they were caught to be tried in the federal district courts of our country and eric holler was a big supporter of that. as you know those who went to cube, guantanamo bay, sat 15 be 16 years without a trial. look to see whether that becomes an issue for political debate. but in the judiciary, they will probably be tried in new york. >> we got one minute left. >> i'm sorry. >> no. don't ever apologize. let's talk about the paul manafort. that indictment, that seems to be the big fish right now that robert mueller is going after. as far as the investigation goes, is this the tip of the iceberg or the biggest one he's going to indict >> this is the biggest one so far. remember, talking about the pier mid prosecution scheme. the reality is this is the beginning. the, he's got several counties he's facing up to 20 years, and they're working on manafort right now and his colleague who were co indicted together and

flip them. they want them to turn and tell everything they know they got a hands, town case at least according to the indictment we'll have to see. the most important part is the forefurnish cherry at the last page they could lose everything. do you think george papdoloupos is he the one that will turn against his campaign coworkers >> sounds like he's done that already. i don't know whether he's wearing a wire or not but if you look at the conviction or statement in support of his guilty plea and his deal, he was heavily involved in reaching out to the russians. he was aware they had information on hillary clinton. and he was talking to higher ups in the trump campaign. that's irrefutable. >> we'll see you soon. . facebook leading up to the election, about 126 million people saw the propaganda >> we're learning maryland was

targeted by the russian ads. adam levin, author of swiped joining us now via skype. thanks for talking with us. why do you think maryland was targeted so heavily with those ads? >> it's a heavily democratic state. this was an in send iary issue. people wanted to dial up the volume on racial discuss cord >> we talk about 2008 being the first twitter election. this is the first time you've seen facebook twitter, other forms of social media used in this way, do you think that these companies are going to take the charge to clamp down on this seriously moving forward? >> i think they will have to seriously think about it. we've learned about government they will say, hey, listen, you guys do it. and guess what? if you don't, we will. you certainly saw

frank other pieces of legislation. so i think that the -- these platforms have to understand that it's coming. and the question is how favorite it comes, and how brutally it comes to a significant extent depend upon how they respond. we're living in a world where cyber war replaced the cold war. gives everyone a shared responsibility to play our role. >> you know, here's the thing that crosses my mind when we talk about these russian ads. is -- i don't know that a lot of people realize what they were, what they looked like, whether or not they saw one themselves, is there anything that people can do, any key to look for, like if something appears to be from russia or somewhere else >> you wouldn't necessarily know it yourself, obviously. in the case of some of these platforms, if it's paid for by rublels, that's kind of a dead give away. in terms of disclosure, you don't know whe m

from, that's one of the reasons they're talking about trying to put the same standards tore political advertising online as you do radio, tv and print >> the only problem is someone could identify themselves as being the behind the add. it could be a fake persona, we know there's a lot floating around social media. it does give us a framework in order to verify authenticity and voracity but it's still going to be kind of a tough hall. this is one where everybody got to play their role. adam levin thank you so much. we appreciate it >> it's very -- very outer spacish looks like. thank you >> out of worldly >> we'll be right back.

will have power over your health care. adams supports letting insurance companies deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. seniors would be charged more for health care; premiums would go up. and adams supports giving employers the power to block birth control access for female employees. john adams: wrong on health care, wrong on birth control, wrong for virginia. disclaimer: i'm mark herring, candidate for attorney general,

is ad. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. narrator: they call him enron ed. because washington, dc lobbyist ed gillespie represented the worst of the worst. lenders trying to keep student loan rates high. corporations sending jobs overseas. and of course the enron scandal. now, enron ed is lobbying for donald trump's agenda. like cuts to virginia school funding, and taking away healthcare from thousands of virginians. enron ed gillespie. he's not lobbying for you. . there's a lunchn

week. if you're having dreams you're ralph northum, one topic was the growing population and the problem with ms-13. there are more than 2000 in fairfax county alone. and as fox 5 tisha lewis tells us the group's membership is nearly equal to the number of cops trying to reign them in. >> if so, that would mean there could be more ms-13 gang members in fairfax county fairfax than police officers. police say the number of ms-13 gang members in fairfax county is a bit closer to about 1400, even so the county insists they're ahead of the problem that's front and center for many virginia voters come tuesday. now, ed ryan is the gang impressive coordinator and one just five assigned to the northern virginia gang task force, tasked with helping kids who get in gang, get out and also preventing them if joining the gangs in the first place. it's just one of a multi-strategy plan to curb lines in in fairfax county and

gang activity in fairfax county is reportedly associated with ms-13. compare to years past, ryan says he's giving more presentations and more trainings about gangs at schools, and most frighteningly, the audience is much younger. >> used to be when i first started. a lot of my presentations were geared to high school, high school counselors and teachers, now i find myself in middle schools and elementary schools >> if the opportunity became available that we could hire more counselors and workers to work with at risk kids, we would certainly welcome that opportunity. there's certainly things we can do with funding, whether increased the amount of counselors that work with at risk kids or just in general be able to boost an improve our prevention intervention programs >> there are about 1400 police officers in fairfax county. and we're told keeping up with ms-13 member numbers is a bit challenged because the gang tends to be transien

that's not the case. twitter says customer support worker on their last day was to blame. the president active as ever again this morning, tweeting several times so far including one calling out the rogue employee >> let's unpack this for a second. by the way, here's the tweet from the president, my twitter account was taken down 11 minutes by a rogue employee i guess the word must be finally getting out and having an impact. mr. president your word has been getting out quite well on twitter. you're the twitter president. let's talk about this. when they said a former employee, my question last night was, was it their last day? >> i think it was. >> or did it become their last day >> either way. definitely was. but what's interesting some are starting to say, this person might want to get a lawyer because they could be facing hacking charges what i've been seeing some legal analysts say. how funny that is, maybe in trouble. >> bit of a trouble. in the grand scheme of things, the president has been

anti-trump the whole time.ok wa- i'm curious what his take is if he thinks that's the culture of twitter now. regardless. we'll follow that one. russian president vladimir putin as a big store, ovechkin, he's starting a social movement for drawing up support. he talks to putin often, spends this off seasons in moscow. putin will be return running for another term next weekend. he said it's a sign of patriotism >> putin loves hockey, plays quite a bit. i shouldn't see -- little known fact. it's quite well-known. you've seen the two before, and you know, he's also quite which you may me with another major russian super star. we seen pictures of

together, but >> perhaps ov would like to permanent's reside back there in russia. not like he's winning stanley cups here. just saying >> got to get focus on that. >> we talked about this yesterday. >> all right, we're going to keep track of what's going on. you got to see the story coming up. can you imagine you had the same job 60 years >> this woman loves her job. >>
