we will build together port covington when we build it it will be. for coming to. the heart of a new world headquarters for under armor an opportunity for all of. this the. baltimore city council put the stamp of approval on the $660000000.00. jobs in exchange for the investment. community there definition of. making about $70000.00 per year. build a community with people who are this. is not. only. neighborhoods. created strong. reading structural and teach. understand. more. readily recognize that is right but we don't recognize really were. slow. we already know living people in environments where they don't have. a desk. in baltimore city. i was sitting here in mind this watch ing the police in the children interact on the day of april 27th 2015. the children were thorax the police door rocks back at the children in a vision the police you know they're shooting were bullets and they deployed tear gas and at the moment they deplore that tear gas i'm sitting here i feel like this weight come right on my chest and i'm like i can't breathe i can watch it anymore be

that's why we were right in covington, nicholas sandmann, do you remember that case?crosse, we were right there, too. ferguson, missouri, we were right -- hands up don't shoot and rush to judgment -- that all fell apart. baltimore, freddie gray, cambridge, and to so many other major stories. and now once again, we at this program were right about this current impeachment charade. the present will be acquitted and is wasting our time and money. it's time to talk about maxine waters, nancy pelosi, joe biden, kamala harris, chuck schumer. you know what? apply one standard to everybody. republicans need to focus on their jobs, which is the economy, border control, energy independence, they've got a job to do. joining us now with the full report from los angeles, our senior correspondent rick leventhalos with us tonigh. >> there appears to be clear evidence for multiple cameras in multiple locations capturing images of the suspect moments before he's believed to have placed pipe bombs outside both republican and democratic headquarters in washington on january 5th the nigh

is almost like we are replaying the jussie smollett or covington kids where we all rush to judgment,put people in camp, the pbs worker was can't tape said maybe we should put trump supporters in camps, somebody else mentioned sending the suspect if found guilty to gitmo, this access and we take a deep breath and in the next two weeks we will say it was reckless to keep questioning the election be on the choice of the electors but donald trump did not tell people to go and incite a riot. the timeline suggests people were already breaking dangerously the law while he was speaking and also learning in addition to that that the more donald trump is off twitter he's not talking is not replying and kind and that is the ina because it is simply building for donald trump while they are on twitter and social media with all of the scary totalitarian language and we have been impeachment when there is no special prosecutor, no special prosecutor report, no kenneth starr or robert mueller involved, no cross-examination, just one day wham and we are going to have a senate trial and all looks like

first quarter, trying to go coast-to-coast and behind the back to get lillard but runs over robert covington for the charge the rookie was about trouble again last night and he finished with eight points and 19 minutes. this is a familiar sight. green vines steph curry for the three and golden state got within nine and curry led the warriors with 26. the oakland native scored 15 1/4, 30 the whole game and portland knocked down 23 compared to seven for the war years and they went 123-108. college football's clemson's dabo swinney created play material he promoted the buckeyes 11th and the final coaches poll. trevor lawrence is expected to be the number one pick in the draft was buckeyes quarterback justin fields who stole the show, or quarter of 35-21 and field let it fly over 60 yards in the air and he hits crystal loving in the stride, ohio state beat clemson 49-28 to advance to the title game and maybe crack sweeney's top 10. in the other semifinal the rose bowl was moved to the cowboys stadium so fans could attend against third-quarter and alabama's harris was outside and then the signatu

to facts of what you have is another cut-and-paste media rooms, a covington kid special.ou don't see the context, you agree with alive. he listened to the whole thing and you find that trump is just a coach arguing with the umps over a bad call that cost the series. needs me when i don't get what i ordered from grubhub, teed off but no mob boss. an outsider looking in, curious as to why no one really cares has ric grenell tweeted "his team were unsure of the facts and dismissive of finding the troops soon. an establishment against all of us. i as gut tells him from past experience, he could be. these clowns spent four years trying everything under the sun including the sun to oust him, which means fraud is on the table. he is hitler after all. some of the stuff that trump mentioned has been debunked, but his curiosity as to why leads aren't followed is based on the obvious fact that they had an overzealous scornful establishment would do anything to beat them and that if you have the courage to defend him. so we have to do it all himself. so that's what you hear from the

it is almost like we are replaying the just a small lead to where the covington kids of the duke lacrossedgment and were going to put people in camps. the pbs lawyer caught on tape maybe we should put trump supporters in camps and may be some else mentioned. it's the excess and then we take a deep breath and then i think in the next few weeks were going to say, yeah, it was reckless to keep questioning the election beyond the choice of the electors. but donald trump did not tell people to go over there and incite a riot. in fact, the timeline suggested maybe people were breaking very dangerously so that the wall while he was speaking. we are also learning in addition to that the more that donald trump is off twitter, he's not talking. he's not replying in kind. it's an irony because you're silencing the ability for donald trump while there on twitter with all this excessive totalitarian language. there is an impeachment when there is no special prosecutor, no prosecutors or reports, no ken starr, robert mueller involved, no cross examination, it is just one day, whammo, now are going to h

all about steph curry he's showing off the handles making robert covington look silly and finishing through the contact later in the first curry got a tray right and dames face he had 21 points and that was just the 1st quarter he was nowhere close to 2nd quarter staff wasn't leading to their egos finishes at the rend he had 31 at the half. >>and staff just kept going and going and going we're going to call that a pass steph gets the lay in and the foul. he shot a career-high 13 free throws tonight, 3rd quarter winding down staff still on one this was his 45th point of the night warriors up by 14 going into the fore. so i mean he was just read red-hot final quarter was all about staff in case you didn't get that scene along with the rain scene he gets stopped don't fret he just got that bucket he makes look easy to that's 50 on the night a little more than a minute left. >>from for e slush shuts down he now has a career-high 59 points. >>still not done though, yes, some serious seconds later step trailing dream on. >>who gets it to him and that's 62 points for steph curry you can see the be

. >> host: i'll go on to ryan in covington kentucky. ryan had been watching allday ? >> caller: i have, thank you for having me . i like to start off by saying let's address the uncertainty in this. example of that would be the person who was just on. i've seen the pictures he's talking about. it's not the same person. people look a lot. always been hearing from a substantial amount of the calls that you have coming in his peopleattacking the media . it's just been the media. there's this video destroying the equipment. are we surprised by this? this has been stoking the flames of hatred and pure insanity for five years now. today has been so rattling to the psyche of any well-adjusted human being and i cannot believe what we witnessed today and what made it worse was hearing the nonsense that people have been spouting when they call in trying to say that it was antifa today. no it wasn't. these are probably the people that smell conspiracy. about this or that. i want to say that there's been proof of fraud. there have been over 60 lawsuits overseen by the department
