all right, congressman jason crow, nice to see you in person. appreciate you being here. kate. >> now to the brand new power play. likely teeing up another legal fight. president trump in a new executive order is now trying to exert new control over independent government agencies. agencies that were created by congress to not come under a president's thumb. these are agencies like the sec, the fcc, the ftc, alphabet soup, but independent, all focused on protecting consumers tasked with things like regulating wall street, regulating communications, radio, tv, cable, also tasked with protecting consumers. the white house now wants to require these agencies to submit proposed regulation changes for white house review first, to make sure it's all in line with the president's policies and priorities. cnn's alayna treene has more from the white house for us. what is the latest right now on how they see this rolling out? now? >> well, kate, i mean, just to also give the big picture here with this sweeping executive order that we saw the president sign yesterday. i mean, this is

jason crowe what he did last week with his publicity stunt after it was leaked that they would -- he went out there and had a tour, he made this grand announcement that buckley will not be used as a detention ice facility. he doesn't have that power or that authority. my guess is when it was tipped off to the media that this was coming, you know, either president trump or tom homan or whoever backed off and said we'll delay it and won't activate buckley. there are leaks. i would say i have not personally seen any of them physically get themselves in the way but some of these activists are on the line and i hope that tom homan and these agents as you heard him say in the huddle to his team before they went out every one has to make it home at night. every single one of these men and women have to make it home at night. whatever they have to do, if that includes the local activists getting in their way physically or arrest them. >> john: we heard these community activists yelling get out of our community. they wouldn't be in the community if they had the cooperation of officials. >> we

congressman jason crow is the reason why i am here. he introduced me to benedict, the msc ceo. it was the former cochair of the four country caucus. he's been around since the beginning and the only member of congress to have had a perfect attendance in four country caucus meetings. [laughter] >> something. >> new have not given me an award yet. >> we can make one up. >> taking you for granted. so, thank you so much, rye. i want to say one more quick thing. the thing i love about his organization is that it stands for bipartisanship for fighting against polarization. we at politico are totally bipartisan. in the united states and here in europe, despite what some people might say. we are genuinely committed to bipartisanship and to covering politics through a nonideological lens. we, i think, do a very good job of that almost all the time. with honor works very well with us and we are committed to the same ideas. the military side of it, the fact that all of you have fought to defend democracy and defend freedom and our way of life, i think it is really admirable. something tha

[applause] >> i am congressman jason crow from colorado. and i am here to stand with my usaid friends for those who spread out around the world to prevent starvation, famine, and spread democracy. we are here to fight with you and for you. this is extreme the personal to me like many of you. i spent much off my 20s being sent to war under false pretenses. i was sent to war with my friends. with my fellow americans young men and women, many of whom i saw a shed blood and die for this country. they were sent there by building billionaires and energy executives and others who sacrifice and nothing for to make profit off of those wars. and that is why i'm actually standing here today. irani for congress to prevent that from happening again. that's why many of you are here today. because we owe it to our young men and women. we owe it to your young americans do not do that again. we know, we know that the investment we make in foreign aid is not charity. but we know extremism and danger breeds off of starvation and hopelessness, and fear. and th

and out front now, democratic congressman jason crow of colorado, he is a member of the intelligence and armed services committees. he's also a former army ranger who served in iraq and afghanistan. congressman crow, tonight we are learning that the trump administration is pushing back on including this phrase, this key phrase, russian aggression. in a statement from the g-7 that would mark the third anniversary of the war in ukraine. those are two words that have appeared in many g7 statements since 2022. what message does that send? >> well, it's. >> abhorrent, brianna, but there's a lot of things that the trump administration and donald trump himself says and does that are abhorrent. what makes this so nefarious is the message that it sends when the president of the united states and the administration sends messages that dictators like vladimir putin or kim jong un and korea can operate with impunity, or that they have a potential friend in the united states. it sends permission for people to do terrible things around the world. and they will. you bet they will take advantage of

congressman jason crow is my guest. stay close.s just after chris jansing reports just after i used to struggle with dandruff and scalp issues, but then i started using head & shoulders every wash. cause the active ingredient in head & shoulders fights off the microbes that cause dandruff. microbes are on everyone's scalp and can cause irritation. but when you use head & shoulders every wash... it keeps these rascals at bay and helps prevent dandruff before it starts. where do you think you're going?! see? no flakes down here! your hair looks great! had a little help. make every wash count. if you take or have taken humira for moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and still have symptoms... you don't have to settle. ask your gastroenterologist if switching to rinvoq is right for you. it's one of the latest treatments from the makers of humira. rinvoq works differently than humira and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can deliver rapid symptom relief, lasting steroid-free remission, and helps visibly redu
