darrell issa from california, appointed a special prosecutor. your thoughts on that? >> isn't it interesting that darrell issa who couldn't hold himself back from having weeks and months and years of public investigations of the obama administration now doesn't believe in congressional investigations but wants to have a special prosecutor. well, certainly we don't want to see attorney general sessions who should recuse himself being the prosecutor. a special prosecutor may be in order. but why have the republicans, who couldn't with no public hearing on this russian involvement is really warranted. what a hoot. >> let me ask you the follow-up. my sense was there was a consensus in the wake of ken star a bipartisan that had created a fundamentally dangerous unaccountable office. is that still the position of you and your colleagues or is that something that is being kicked around by folks on capitol hill? >> i'm co-sponsoring a bill for an independent commission. i've suggested colin powell, justice from the supreme court, former justice to the supreme court that would

darrell issa is responding to that. don't forget, he is a republican and pretty strong conservative republican but also represents increasingly house constituency and narrowly won re-election. he barely survived. in his district, hillary clinton won by a substantial margin. darrell issa is -- i know him quite well. you know, some people think he goes over the line from time to time. he is a very shrewd, very tough guy. i don't think he is likely to be dismissed by other republicans and the fact that he came out and said jeff sessions can't handle this himself is not without political significance because it will make the democrats feel they have more of a case here. >> jake, you're nodding your head. >> no, howard is right. i'll add to what he said. also, i agree with everything he said. he is from a marginal district. he is a very strong, smart guy, who i also know quite well. but he is no longer chairman of the oversight house committee. he doesn't have as much power in the house as he used to. he doesn't particularly

this is darrell issa. someone who has really no tie and no sort of rapport with those foreign policy views or those two men that i know of. this is someone who is looking at the facts as they exist and suggesting a special prosecutor. it's a remarkable development. >> eli, what does the drip, drip, drip of this feel like that? >> well, i mean, you can sense the -- i wouldn't say panic but they're frustrated at the white house. you heard sean spicer say today, i don't know where this goes, if there's nothing more to investigate, what do we do with this? that conditional phrase is interesting, we don't know there's nothing more to investigate. the fbi continues to investigate. the white house would like us to believe that whatever fbi director comey said to reince priebus over the phone about a week ago, that that was a full exoneration and that clears the trump campaign and the white house of any wrongdoing and we don't know that. and the fact that he has enlisted devin nunes, has enlisted senator burr, it

we're back with republican congressman darrell issa.he president had what is widely reported to be tough phone calls with foreign leaders including the prime minister of australia. you've seen all of those reports. we just reported. was it appropriate for president trump to start off his new administration with such a tough phone call with a key u.s. ally? >> well, you know, we always would hope that you can do the best you can when you're ending a deal that shouldn't have happened. president obama in his last days negotiated roughly 1200 refugees from a country that doesn't take refugees for the most part to come here, and i think after the president's controversial or not 90-day stay, it was appropriate for him to say, we're not doing those, call us in 90 days. and i'm sure with the pressure you have in australia to get these people off the islands and out of australia, both were under a lot of pressure. >> but, you know, if the u.s. doesn't live up to that commitment, it will raise questions about america's willingness to honor inter

we have obviously darrell issa. what i heard from tom cotton is let's not get ahead of our skis.t appears we need an investigation, but let's be thoughtful and methodical about this. i guess the question really is not about an investigation. i think everyone agrees we should look into this. the real question is, what does it look like and what is the scope of this? and i think we need to be very thoughtful about this to make sure that we cross all of our ts and dot out of our is. >> so, marjorie when it comes to discerning a distinction between trump associates and business connections with trying to advance trump organization financial interests around the world to actually the campaign issues, how can they dissect the two? we know that donald trump did business in 2013 in russia. we hat miadmitted to me on camet he did know vladimir putin personally, only to retract that and take all of that back. so, how do they separate business from campaign business? >> well, so, there's the two pieces. there's the business dealings and then there was the michael flynn and the sanctions, wh

that might put pressure on them to say, go along with what darrell isa said. the only way to eliminate this political investigation is to take it outside. so either a special prosecutor or one of those blue ribbon 9/11 type panels. i think that is the unintended consequence here of the white house. i think making a big mistake, which was making contact with other government officials who will be investigating some members of that west wing and their involvement in -- potential involvement, whether or not, in the russia interference. >> some people wonder if darrell isa is the first republican domino to fall in this. we'll see. president trump going at it with tom perez just elected as head of the democratic party. he even said that election was rigged, that hillary's guy got in place of bernie sanders in the fight with the democratic party. what does the election of tom perez tell you about where the democratic party is and the lessons it learned from that election four months ago? >> i'll tell you this. if tom perez is considered establishment today, i think

and you know, darrell fit in well with that. we were committed.text darrell, and i text him to figure out his decision and he's like yeah i'm coming. and the first thing, not to sound quaint, let's do this, i want to win. >> reporter: and win they have. namely a national championship and four straight big east championships. not only do they hold the school record for most career wins, they've won more games than any class in the long and storied history of the big east conference. >> oh my goodness. josh hart with the tip in. >> reporter: seniors have become a dying breed in big time college basketball, but not at villanova. where four year players are the backbones of jay wright's program. >> good luck seniors, it's about everything but himself. when you get to be a senior in this program, you get about so many times guys become seniors and they focus on themselves and their next steps. your job is to make sure everybody else is okay. coach is staying alive. that you know the team is what the team needs to do, thaw yo will coach on the same page

darrell issa was in a verylose and contentious re-electi that took place not too long ago.hose voices are being heard. there are at least 36 seats that are at stake in 2018. every american needs to look at their member of congress and hold them accountable and say where do you stand, because this is not about party, this is about the democracy of our country. where do you stand? are you okay with russia having a role or playing a role, a nefarious role in our elections? should it be investigated? should we know the facts of the matter? we've got a president who has not shown his tax returns. we see people within his campaign and now within his administration that has ties to russia. we have a right to save our democracy. the only way that we're going to do that is if we know. i think there's got to be mounting pressure on every member of congress, irrespective of party, to make sure there is the kind of investigation that was done over a period of time and i think that it should be a special commission like the 9/11 commission because that's how serious it is for our democr

we'll never know until we get a prosecutor involved says darrell issa. what do you think of that?t a separate unique agency of the attorney general's office. the a.g. actually appoints the individual. that person has unfetterred authority that is akin to the attorney general himself. but here you have a real problem. a lot of this involves classified information, national security data and so forth. which a special prosecutor doesn't have clearance for that. who is better equipped for that? probably the intelligence committees themselves. they do have national security clearance. you know, it's way too early at this juncture, it seems to me, for a special prosecutor to be named. jeff sessions would want to be able to have a conversation with the intelligence chairman and find out what they have and determine for himself and seems to be an honor and honorable man whether it merits a special prosecutor. let's say you get a special prosecutor and you have an indictment. then the problem of a sixth amendment and a public trial, which is a requirement. with all that classified informat

darrel issa has called for one. he's the first member of the house republicans who has broken ranks. >> if this gets to the point of a criminal referral by the justice department or to the justice department by the fbi, then yes, i think there absolutely ought to be an independent prosecutor here. but what we need, i think, more than anything else and i think what we have seen in the course of the early stages of this investigation is we need an independent commission. i would love to say that we can fully do this investigation within the house intelligence committee and the senate intelligence committee. in order to do that we're going to need strong bipartisan support, need to be dedicated to following the facts wherever they lead. we're going to need the full cooperation of the fbi and that is a big question mark at this point. i would take more comfort in knowing that there was a fully independent body in doing its work as we're doing our work in intelligence committees. i think that is the single most important

darrell issa is calling for a special prosecutor. >> jeff session who was on the campaign and appointee you're going need to use special prosecutor answer statute and office not just recuse, you can't give it to your deputy that's another appointee. asked the fbi keep the story from the media, but the bureau declined the request. >> time 9:38. this weekend the president announced he will not be attending the white house correspondents dinner it will mark the first time in 30 years that a sitting president will not be attendance at the affair. president donald trump sent this tweet announcing his decision and wishing everyone well. the annual event is january 29. >>> president trump will address congress tuesday night and "action news" will have complete coverage you can watch the prime time event live on 6abc.

at least, it was reported on friday, which was council president darrell clarke said maybe philadelphiahould reconsider its sanctuary policy. watch out for that, because that is something that, clearly, the mayor and the city policy clearly disagrees with. >> i also find that dann cuellar, to his credit, got jim kenney to say "300 million bucks? oh, that might make a difference." >> that was smart, right? >> i was shocked. i had never thought jim kenney would buckle even for $300 million. >> but the mayor's spokesperson, lauren hitt, immediately came back on darrell clarke's statement and said we're not gonna do that, we're not reconsider this. >> it's not the type of city we're gonna be. >> chaos is in an interesting comment, because that's what we're seeing. we're seeing everything being thrown up against the wall, saying "okay, look over here, look over here, look over here, but don't pay attention to this here," right? and so that goes back to that aspect of protesting. people will get protest fatigue because it's like, "okay. what are we protesting now?" literally, every day across

that's contrary to what congressman darrell issa said over the weekend.et's listen to that. >> you cannot have somebody, a friend of mine, jeff sessions, who was on the campaign and who was an appointee. you're going to need to use the special prosecutor's statute and office to take not just to recuse, you can't just give it to your deputy, that's another political appoint gee. you do have to do that. >> okay, so eli, is that just posturing or is it significant? issa is calling for a special prosecutor for special investigation. nunez is not? >> politics plays into this big time. issa was reelected narrowly and as for nunez, he's the chairman of the house intelligence committee and yet you have to question the independence of that body with him in charge, given that this is the person who the white house who sean spicer the press secretary has enlisted to speech reporters to defend the administration for them. and i talked to nunez because spicer facilitated that conversation on friday, and the interesting thing to me is that nunez and spicer respect' on

so congressman darrell issa i met because he was an exhibiter. i was in my job actually, i was a lawyer then. he was our volunteer chairman, and he served for many years on our board. but even before he came, the basic principle of our organization since 1982 when i first heard at my first board meeting was we must make the ces accessible to anyone with an idea which mean we are doing it for the smallest company. this year we had at least 600 start-ups. we had many more. we had a separate area for start-ups that was subsidized. it's in eureka park, we call it, it was the buzz area of the show, and basically everyone who exhibits they come in with an idea. we tell them don't have a lengthy business plan, get feedback for four days from potential investors, partners, retailers, media, and i promise, you'll have a different idea of what your business is when you leave, and that's what happens. we've had walmart go around and place orders, investors like mark cuban come, and that's what that's about. our show is about innovation. no time in the histo
