attorney john durham and william barr are looking at, that would be lying to the fisa court, the flynn case to be sure and the overall collusion investigation, how it was handled by the fbi and federal prosecutors. i think we need to be reminded of what william barr said to. this was an investigation launched by the fbi without a legal basis and later used it to sabotage presidency. the following federal criminal statutes would be in play. obstruction of justice, perjury, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and deprivation of rights under color of law, otherwise known as abuse of power. they are very serious about holding people accountable because barr said on our air "if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted to. i think that also includes people in the obama white house, the intelligence community, john brennan and others. >> sean: let me get to sarah, your all three coming back tomorrow. your take. >> this was a conspiracy not perpetrated just against the fisa court but against the american people and we know it now because we have t

john, the president has officially labeled antifa, a domestic terrorist and attorney general william barr issuing a statement expounding on the president sentiment. so is president trump's messaging hitting the right tone or is it disjointed? >> i think you're seeing a lot of politics being played at this point with scant evidence to support it. the president is blaming somebody else for this problem, he's blaming the left which is a popular target of the president, he has provided no evidence of that, mind you politician being played on the other side as well. the democratic governor of minnesota is blaming the right saying that white separatist are in the groups, their promo team violence, he too has not provided any evidence of that, there seems to be some indication that right wing groups have played a role. with a republican president and the democratic governor agree, 80% or some vast majority of the looters in the writers are coming from out of state when in fact they're both wrong. the death tallied up, the arrest through saturday morning and found that the vast majority of p

supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg participated in that oral argument today from johns hopkins. pete williams, you have been reporting on this overnight. she was treated it, as you have been reporting, from an infection called by a gallstone. benign, no surgery involved, no sign of the recurrence of the cancer for which she's been treated as recently as last summer. pete, what do we know? this was an important argument about contraception and attempt to give corporations a way to opt out of providing contraception in their health care plans. >> she may hear the speaker's good wishes later today, andrea, but she's still on the phone because the supreme court is right now hearing its second oral argument of the day. ever since they went to the telephone conference calls, things last a lot longer. but she was an active questioner in the first case up this morning, which is an important issue for her. this involves a challenge to trump administration rules that currently are on hold because of court rulings that would expand the number and the type of employers who could opt out of providing cont

from witnesses, including from jim comey, andrew mccabe, jim clapper, john brennan, sally gates, and others. attorney general william barr says he doesn't expect attorney john durham's probe into the fbi's decision-making in the russian probe to lead to criminal investigations of the president's predecessor or the presumptive 2020 democratic nominee. >> based on the information i have today, i don't expect mr. durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man. our concern over potential criminality is focused on othe others. >> bill barr and obviously a very important statement today. you heard coming into our broadcast tonight the president has made a very important decision. he has decided to at least temporarily freeze any additional funding for the world health organization. he said they must improve or they will now face a permanent freeze. in a letter to the leader of the w.h.o., the president reminded him back on april 14 he suspended u.s. contributions to the world health organization, pending an investigation by the administration over the organization's failed response to the covid-1 covid-

a senior assisted living home in walnut creek used an idea from william shakespeare to allow families to celebrate mother's day. >> john ramos has the story. >> reporter: assisted living homes have been hit hard by the pandemic and those living in them are in a virtual lockdown with no guests allowed. with a little imagination, you can still celebrate mother's day. >> romeo, romeo. where for art thou romeo? >> reporter: william shakespeare used a balcony to symbolize the yearning of loved ones kept a part. this morning balconies were used to bring them together. >> we're celebrating mother's day a little differently this year. >> reporter: families cannot enter the byron park assisted living facility in walnut creek so staff set up areas outside where they could greet their mothers and grandmothers from first floor balconies. >> you miss that, the friendliness of your family. that's the hardest part, not being able to touch your mother. just the little things. just those little contacts that we all need. >> it has been difficult for clients and families alike but workers at byron park are doing all they can to soften t

eventually someone is going to pay the price for this and i think this is exactly why john durham and attorney general williamarr is conducting this investigation so thoroughly, because what they did as a crime against the american people. >> raymond: the left is now using flynn's vindication really to justify so much here is an excuse to resurrect the russia hoax. listen. speak at the dismissal of charges against flynn in the conversation by the president by vladimir putin, that is not a coincidence. >> actually think that's what donald trump wants. so, this is a gift to the kremlin. >> bet on it. if he can get to the facts, he will. >> raymond: will the resistance ever move past the russian collusion conspiracy theory? >> no, they will never give up the ghost. what is amazing, about 53 people who were interviewed and we saw in the last 40 hours, these were people who had access to evidence and yet when asked if there was any evidence of collusion, they said no. and then most of them said, but, i've been reading stories about her and hearing on television, the media has been saying that. think about how incr

[laughter] in the cartoon, john quincy adams is ahead of william crawford, and andrew jackson, dressed in his military uniform, is on their tail and coming up fast. john adams stands at the front of the crowd cheering on his son. while the spectators place wagers on the outcome. this is democracy at its worst. the election campaign is a gamble. the excitement of the race is what matters the most. in 1828, when second president adams lost the election to jackson, he found himself not only running against a national hero, but against a far better organized pro- jackson party machine. the new yorker, martin van buren, with jackson's election nearing guru building on the earlier new yorker, hamilton's, plato. jackson's admirers tried to re- mold him into the air of the noble washington, but the effort failed because jackson was known to be impulsive and blustering, and too many concerned, autocratic. the general was promoted with a lavish campaign biography, the first of its kind. his brash arbitrary behavior was recast as a cardinal virtue. that is, he exhibited frontier boldness. while t
