i don't think it is universally condemnation of christopher wray exiting. i think there are people who like this idea and are supportive of trump. the guy who will be number two in the fbi got an email very shortly after january 6 saying that there were many people within the bureau that are supportive of those who stormed the capital. so there is definitely a big contingent of people supportive of trump. >> i think that matters quite a bit, what you just said. some of the reporting that came out on the january 6 committee, obviously there are thousands of people in the fbi and there are probably people in the hoover building that are worried. but as a whole you have an fbi that is pretty conservative, politically. one of the more conservative arms of the u.s. federal government. and that email about who is going to be that deputy director, who is it that got that email? >> fox news is on various field offices saying that there are a lot of people supportive of what happened. it is a group that is pretty closely connected to kash patel and the so-called susp

i wish christopher wray had not done that for the reason that you say. professor's schneider's quote on tyranny. i wish he would have gotten fired so we could point out and it would illustrate how extraordinary this situation is where the president of the united states, who is a convicted criminal, an indict -- what is been indicted on federal charges, is firing the fbi director for the stated reason that the fbi director conducted a search based on probable cause found by a united states district judge to search for stolen secret classified documents that he hid from the fbi and lied about, and then lo and behold, the documents were right where the search warrant said they were. >> go figure. >> this seems, you know, this seems -- me, me, me, all about trump. he has the lawful power to fire the fbi director, but let's see him do it and let's have him explain that it was all about him and the fact that he committed a crime and he got called out on it. >> yeah. and the impact of this, i would guess, i am not in the fbi, i would guess if you are a field age

i think that christopher will do a fantastic job as the head of the fbi. nobody has greater respect for intelligence than donald trump. but you have to have the right leaders, i think we have great leaders right now. >> he looks 20 years younger. it is easy to forget now, that was all a huge scandal when it happened, precisely because of the history, context, this does not happen. now as trump prepares to settle back in behind the resolute desk with about two explicitly turned the country into something post-democratic, he wants to obliterate the norm he broke by replacing the fbi director he hired. >> reporter: sir, are you going to fire the current fbi director, christopher wray, you appointed? >> i can't say that i'm thrilled with him. he invaded my home, i'm suing the country over it. he invaded mar-a-lago. i'm very unhappy with the things he has done. and crime is at an all-time high, migrants are pouring into the country that are from prisons and mental institutions, as we have discussed. i can't say that i'm thrilled. >> crime is not all time high, m

christopher: anybody else from the audience? ir question i would love to hear this panel's view on, because this is a story about how freedom of speech and advancement of women's rights are going hand-in-hand, and there are people today that would argue that now we are at a place where sometimes claims made on behalf of free-speech or civil liberties are perceived as impeding efforts to advance women. so i will give you an example. think of the roberts case where you have on the one hand a private organization that they view their expressive purposes as requiring them to be an all male organization. they are sued by a woman who wants to join, so that is an interesting case that seem stupid one version of free speech against a version of advancement of the rights of women. i am curious, what do you think myra bradwell would have said about that case? what do you think about that case? particularly nadine, and how to get thread that needle and to reconcile those two opposing forces? anastasia: myra bradwell was a large advocate of f

for those who are concerned that the fbi is becoming more political, and the last hour, i spoke with christophergeneral consensus is if anything, it has tilted to the right is that the direction that people are suggesting? >> i think the bureau has always been more conservative in that. people didn't talk politics when i came in, though. i don't recall anyone ever talking about politics in the office until the last days of the bureau, and one of the people who politicized it the most, it wasn't trump, it wasn't comay, it was under him, started bringing politics in. and i think you saw that in some of the texts that came out on some of the investigations. people didn't talk about it before, but now it is being talked about more, but i do think the bureau in general is more conservative and more republican, but there is that other side that gets in there and says, wait a second, we have to remain independent, no matter what our political party. and i think that's where it should go. >> keep politics out of it, yeah. david, i want to read a quote from an article that you cover and includes a quote

i wanna say thank you as always, christopher i have that is i suppose i can see that you may have and call me as well the a pleasure talking to you again. thanks again. thank you. i, it's a slight thing in the city and the province of i left a rupture. somebody is, are heading south the further it shows people dying towards the alma proteins. however, but as an area where both of the, the terrace factions are also competing. now we heard from middle east x foot cable, unless the founder of the seriana analysis, he is from a lever. i'm shed grave concerns about the loved ones are still in the city. and there are many families, relatives, friends, that i know in other people who manage to evacuate the city, and they had to see the uh, the city. when a guy that was concurring however, we still have friends and beloved ones in olive for. and i don't want to mention who are they exactly, but the situation now is very difficult to help this civilians to evacuate the city because both of the out the m 5 highway and also defensive. the route are blocked by the north star fund. also we have th

and and i should preface it by saying that i believe christopher wray has been a good and solid director of the fbi, and i think he's doing this for what he believes are the right reasons. i think i assume he believes that by announcing his departure and resigning, he's doing this in a way to kind of minimize turbulence for the organization. unfortunately, i don't think that's possible at this point in time. and i think there's a much more important principle at stake here. and that is the principle of fbi independence. that principle has been a founding, the founding kind of core of our post hoover, post reformation of the fbi. it's something that congress imposed, not the president congress imposed on the fbi, giving the director a ten year term. and i think that maintaining his position and essentially forcing the new president's hand, forcing donald trump to fire him when he arrives and is inaugurated, is a much more important message. i think it sends a clear would send a clear message to the fbi people that what we do is we stay on our post, we continue fighting the good fight, doi

>> i think that christopher wray said, i take him at his word when he said he spent many weeks discussing this issue and the reason he is stepping down is to prevent the fbi from being further dragged into the fray. i'm sure he believes he is doing the right thing for the rank and file fbi agents but to me, this is a breach of norms. they serve a ten year term in part to insulate him from the political process so he can exceed even a two-term president. so by resigning i know he will get fired on day one but it seems maybe we should make donald trump do that so it is trump who is violating the norms rather than christopher wray going quietly. >> what do you think? it seems like a no win situation. but having trump fire wray sends a very different message for most americans who may not nest necessarily be hearing about his resignation. >> at least he purported to find reasons. this time not even. i think barb has it exactly. i agree with everything that she said. i'll just add that you are talking about norms eroding. maybe the most important is this one that was set up post water gate. an

i think that aspect can get lost in this conversation. >> most people don't know who christopher wray is and who kash patel is and they are just living their lives but i noticed the difficult assignment, lay out the differences between these two men, who, kash patel is now going to be running a law enforcement agency with an $11 billion budget and 35,000 employees. >> and connections around the world, so many ties to the investigations going on around the country right now. christopher wray was a long line of republicans with impeccable law enforcement credentials who had been named to be the fbi director. he is someone who believes in the rule of law and someone who, for all of his, you know, whatever faults that he's had as fbi director, some cases where he has leaned in harder than he needed to or others that he's got in trouble politically such as the mar-a- lago investigation, he has done well he has followed the law, there are no scandals in chris wray's past that you have seen from past fbi directors. what you have in kash patel, is someone who has been an opportunist from day

will say that, um, i think christopher wray served ably as fbi director. >> i didn't agree with every decision he made, but i think he led the bureau well, during a very hard time to do that. i understand he has his own reasons for making this decision. um, i think that it there is a very, very important principle to be maintained here. and that is the principle of the fbi's independence. and i think that under the circumstances, to me, in my opinion, the best way to do that would have been to stay in his position until the new president came in and decided to take whatever steps he wanted to take. >> in other words, let the president elect be the anomaly. >> let the president elect be the person who goes on record having undermined this principle of the independence of the fbi. this is something that we have treasured for the last 50 years. it is the very core of the post-watergate fbi reforms. it's essential to the fbi's culture and its understanding of itself and its role in this country, and the fact that it remains independent from the day to day political will o

donald trump was intent on getting rid of christopher wray and starting over at the fbi. and what we have seen on capitol hill, and i know lauren will probably talk more about this was a more receptive audience to this idea of getting rid of christopher wray and putting in kash patel more receptive audience among senators when it came to kash patel than even donald trump's transition team was expecting. and i will remind you that just a few days ago, donald trump was point blank. asked if he was going to fire christopher wray and what he said was, well, i'm putting up kash patel for the job. so it would seem that he has to have a job to take. there has to be an opening there, and we're going to get to that opening either way. and clearly the way christopher wray decided on his own accord was to leave with a resignation rather than wait for donald trump to take action and fire him. >> yeah, the writing was on the wall for wray. kristen holmes, thank you so much. let's go out to capitol hill now with cnn's lauren fox, because evan alluded to this a moment ago. lauren, lawmakers had kind of been telegraphing to wray th

i expect he will do the same. there's nothing that enforces that rule. nothing says christophery must stay for its full ten years. it's a norm. donald trump is prepared to bust through it. i would expect unless christopher wray resigns, we will see a new fbi director and the termination of christopher wray. that depends on whether we can see the confirmation of kash patel or anyone else. >> true. perry, this is not kash patel's first go around for being considered for a position. trump floated the idea of making him the deputy director of the cia or fbi. bill barr, trump's then attorney general wrote, mr. patel would become deputy director over my dead body. >> look, right now, what we have seen from trump's nominations so far, i mean, gaetz, that imploded. he is appointing his -- who he views as his biggest and best loyalists. we are seeing that -- how people are reacting to that. you just showed clips from the sunday morning shows. it seems like republicans in the senate are saying okay. let's go for it. in the first term, you are right, there was a lot of resistance and pushb

good to be with you -- >> such an important pay christopher wray resigns kash patel impact toing to get confirmed. your reaction. first of all ihristopher wray resigned remember spied on american bank transactions without a warrant essenceored laptop story, wray's fbi is mom and dad going to school board meeting you need to be investigated the ones did memorandum to richmond field office said pro-life catholics extremists raided president trump's home when you think about it earlier this week, the inspector general released a report that says christopher wray when he first got the job spied on congressional staffers, zbhous one of those staffers was being spied on by christopher wray fbi? kash patel going to take his place clean up as kash was explaining on your show from a few weeks ago. >> how did this happen congressman, i remember 2k0urg 16, 2017, 2018 kash patel devin nunes on my show this program as well as "sunday morning futures" on fox news told us, we've been spied on everybody mocked them, so what happened to the fiscal impact that politicized it so much decided they could spy on anybody they wanted, if they didn't

and i think christopher wray was heroic in in stepping down. but i also think that the bureau does need some profound introspection, heroic in stepping down. >> oh, yeah. >> i mean, look, are you going to wait for donald trump to come in and be humiliated and be fired? if you're chris wray? no, i mean, he absolutely had to do it this way. as for kash patel, i mean, trump thinks he's going to end the growing crime epidemic, dismantle criminal gains, stop human and drug trafficking. he also, though, has said that he's going to get rid of all the conspirators, who he calls journalists, who were part and parcel to the 2020 election and reporting on what were the facts that biden won and trump lost so that list i would take very seriously. >> i mean, the other thing this weekend, he gave this interview on nbc, and here's what he was saying about the january 6th committee members who he's been targeting with these kinds of comments for a while now. listen for what they did. >> yeah, honestly, they should go to jail. >> so you think liz cheney should g

christopher, i know you spent time in the hospital, i know your life is not back to normal, how has its this been stressful and how long do you think it will take before you were actually back in? >> i would estimate its going to be probably one year before we are back in our home. has been stressful? i have to answer that with an absolutely. this has been a large stressor on top of other stressors. but i have to say, the way our community has shown up, the way people have walked down the driveway, what can we do? how can we help you? it has helped carry the load of our stress, just like they have carried the 300 metric tons of mud and debris out of our house. we tried to carry the load because we do still have two daughters living with us at home. so, is a stressful? yes. has it been unmanageable. >>> no because of been shared across so many hands and hearts. >> trace: is it stressful, yes. are you grateful, yes. it's interesting because a lot of people are waiting on dema, today nikki haley posted the following on twitter, coating, this is infuriating, abiding gives 1 billion of our

lady justice must be blind in his gotta change. >> i was literally in the room with the speaker of the house intelligence committee, looked christopherhe eye and say you could be part of the cleanup crew or part of the cover-up crew. that's your choice clean this up or cover this up for reasons i don't think i'll understand, christopher wray decided to become jim comey, my question are there any policy issues or is it strictly personnel and by that does the jurisdiction need to be changed by the bureau or is it the wrong people and charged. >> i want to believe it the wrong people in charge and want to get those wrong people out of positions of power you put in people that can be trusted the loyalty and the motives are. , they are there to protect the american people and what you're getting people to do the right thing for the right reasons it's very simple, integrity it comes down to integrity, fidelity, bravery and integrity, if everyone would operate with integrity we would not have this problem. >> that's what the i stands for its hard enough to get folks, good women to men to run for office who are serving government it's harder

i know what this is. this is by hamburg—based artist christoph schafer. d on the mountain that blocks the way. i think that this is about the inhabitants of uchisar through various ages, learning how to deal with the environment, politics, nature, people being able to work together, community. and it's all told through this really, really — almost simplistic — catchy, song—like storytelling. just down the path from christoph's work is a piece from one of my favourite artists. i met her last in 2022 in istanbul and can't wait to see her again. hale tenger has been challenging the establishment for over 30 years. in 1992, she was prosecuted for denigrating the turkish flag. hello! how are you? she works across disciplines and has constantly sought to challenge the world around us. her work here is a sound installation. so, this is — this is where it is? yes, it is. the title is life, death, love and justice and as you approach, you will start hearing the sound. woman whispers: life... 0h! death... whoa, where's that coming from?! love... ..and justice... tha

maybe back to bad old days when hoover was running fbi i don't know, my question -- let me ask you, so you are christopherattorney general this is biden's man merrick garland, said to you, i want a dawn raid of mar-a-lago and go everywhere possible including into mrs. trump's p private belongings, does the fbi have to do it ifag says to do it? >> well they make their own determination of whether or not there is probable caw to move forward, fbi director worked with merrick garland, this is very coordinated and terrible abuse that began this lawfare that we saw play out over the course of two years. i think it also important to take a step back and remember what happened before that. on eve of 2020 election, you know christopher wray was there presiding over the hunter biden laptop prebunching deta debacle, an fbi agent told them it was a russia hack. they knew it was real, they lied about it they tried to stop the story which was election interference then they went to mar-a-lago with an unprecedented raid then after catholics and parents who showed up at school board meetings, this is really egregious st

i see. christopher cline. >> i have 3 minutes on the timer. when the buzzer goes off that is your time to end your comments. >> thank you. for the record, christopher cline and been here quite a few times. i want to provide updates. now on the one [indiscernible] public health has oversight and i think that is the number one reason we saw decrease in overdose so nice job for public health for getting part that training. the things not going well, there is [indiscernible] one system is surveillance system used by department of technology and with it you can give someone a false ptsd symptoms to force medication. that is very concerning especially if you are a veteran because everything you have went through is concerning but now you have cities and counties trying to give false ptsd or covid or hiv. if you can take grant money and deny benefits it is a bribe and the reason i bring that up, 250 kearney street hsh gave $283 thousand to swords to plow share. [indiscernible] i talked to the city attorney earlier today and the human rights commission

i didn't believe it. second of all, how could someone do that to someone who is an amazing person? >> christopher austin pleaded not guilty, but according to these police documents, he says he was flown to los angeles by robert baker, saying that the two men entered the mantiply residence with clothing that concealed their identity and attacked fabio with a knife. austin, admitting to stabbing him in the neck and holding him down, while robert baker stabbed him. but why would these two men want fabio dead? >> statistics about how these things usually work is that it's someone close to that individual, is usually the person who is responsible for their murder. >> investigators would soon learn that robert was monica simon, tilly's racquetball instructor. there was a lot of communication going on between the two, far more than you would expect between somebody in their racquetball instructor, and they determined that monica and robert were having an affair. >> and i can't wait to get home to see my family. >> now, christopher austin tells police of a possible motive. fabio's $1.6 million life insur

questioning many senators questioning is the fbi now i political or are they apolitical that's a question. >> wasn't president trump trump chosen christopherhat he's going to have to go if change is going to take this job he is into a 10 year term is a do think rate resigns or trump fires him question. >> i believe ray has already said is going to be leaving at the end of the vita ministrations of the dust trump will be able to potentially get his guy. if he does not leave if it's a potential president trump can fire him and then appoint kash patel fortuna days in a find someone else. >> is many senate battles to come we will all be here for front and center. thank you guys. with the next descendent lights, camera, innovation how artificial intelligence is writing itself into the story next. >> they really look forward to that future were somebody does not have to move to l.a. and meet a producer and get a budget and get their film made. because of this some kid from indiana will tell their story easier. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment

and it's also maybe worth noting, i mean, christopher wray was appointed by then-president donald trump right and christopher wray is fbi then went and investigated donald trump. these charges have since been dropped by the special prosecutor. but again, casey these issues have been litigated in this election that we just had donald trump talked about this for two years. so i don't know why anybody is surprised. the american people voted for donald trump overwhelmingly despite him campaigning on these issues. so look, i'm not concerned about partisanship here. i think we've seen a doj and an fbi that have been weaponized you look at the new york literally campaigned on prosecuting donald trump. i didn't see many in the media objecting to that. the fact is that our system of justice needs to be depoliticized and unfortunately, under the biden administration, we have seen it weaponized. and it's wrong all right, sir, we should note those charges were, of course, dropped because donald trump was elected to become our next president. but, sir, i know you also were eager to talk about the si
