also, debbie wasserman shultz, if she ever going to explain why she kept paying her i.t. staffer while under federal investigation for double billing and much more? and james comey, and loretta lynch, remember comey testified that loretta lynch pressured him to call the clinton email investigation a matter. and it loretta lynch, of course, met with bill clinton on a tarmac, totally inappropriate pit did did the former attorney general obstruct justice? and hillary clinton, she needs to question answers about her email scandal. uranium one. why did she delete 33,000 emails? why did she acid wash and bleach bit hard drives? why did she in fact, according to reports, smashed devices with hammers, and have her staff do it, and send devices to the fbi that did not have sim cards in it. you give vladimir putin up to 20% of our uranium, the foundational material for nuclear weapons? this is important for this reason, if we care about justice, and the rule of law in this country, this all needs to happen. i know the mainstream media is ignoring it, we will not. you deserve to hav

was right at the very end he came out and he said that he would fully support what martin shultz has said in the past that u.s. nuclear weapons it's time to open dialogue about getting them off german soil. of course i'm convinced that we need to finally start talking about arms control and disarmament once again in this regard i agree with mr shultz is point that we need to get rid of the nuclear weapons the distinction did our country well it's understood that there are around twenty u.s. nuclear warheads in germany based in the southwest of the country and just last week the s.p.d. candidate for chancellor martin shultz the former european parliament president of course was down in turkey have right in the southwest of the country giving a speech about how it was time to get rid of these nuclear weapons we can hear what he had to say right now. as. of the nuclear weapons currently stationed in germany. well sigma gabrial has said on defense in the past that the us is demands for a two percent of g.d.p. payment by all nato members was unrealistic for germany and it does seem that a

have comey leaking information, the general counsel leaking information, you got debbie wasserman shultz, loretta lynch, unmasking, intel leaks, i can't even list them all. do you think all of those issues the media is ignoring, should they be investigating them equally, and should the republicans be doing more on those? >> absolutely, they should. we've got a situation where we have a president who is focused on trying to accomplish the things he campaigned on. instead, the media constantly wants to detract from that, take away from that, if they want a real story about collusion, a real story about illegal activity and inappropriate activity, there is plenty of material, you just listed all off. if that is what they're looking for, there are a lot of things i can go after and investigate, and they can do stories on. they are not going to find them here, but they certainly should be looking at the list you just rattled off. >> sean: am i correct, is the president correct, there is a lot of fake news today? >> absolutely. >> sean: some of the fake news in that room every day with the peo

candidate for chancellor martin shultz the former european parliament president of course was down in turkey have it right in the southwest of the country giving a speech about how it was time to get rid of these nuclear weapons we can hear what he had to say right now. i would. dream of the nuclear weapons currently stationed in germany well sick mark gabrial has said on defense in the past that the us is demands for a two percent of g.d.p. payment by all nato members was unrealistic for germany and it does seem that along with martin short step pushing this no two nukes policy really because it's one of the few ones that they can really go with the german chancellor on the s.p. day the closest rivals to angle of merkel currently trailed by around fourteen points if you look at the latest opinion polls in nuclear weapons is really the only position that they can attack angela merkel on the german chancellor is accused in some circles here in germany of following the american line far too closely particularly when it comes to nuclear weapons and the esprit de want to set themselves as

let me stay centered on the shultz and zedeck study. they use a variety of different instruments, the i/o confidential organization also psychology gold standard. they use hogan products and so they used assessment called the hogan personality inventory and then another one called the developmental survey instrument. they were looking for the positive attributes and the negative attributes for on-the-job performance. they have been validated over a long period of time and many different professional settings. larry richards is somebody was in the law firm space, he's a psychologist that has a big practice built up around the hogan products because they are excellent. he probably has tens of thousands of law firm partners, facially law firm leaders. there are folks out there who are using them. there's also other tests that were in the shultz and zedeck, situational judgment, biographical inventories which are kind of like a money ball type instrument here all of these things predicted way better than lsat and gpas. some of the academic

steve: so is this just more evidence that debbie wasserman shultz needs to testify?s the author of a brand new book that comes out today called "the big lie" conservative book writer and filmmaker dinesh d'souza. >> good morning. steve: it's amazing none of the other channels is covering this story because it clearly is a scandal. the fact this i.t. guy and his family worked for a bunch of democratic members of congress. they all fired this guy back in february when it was clear that something was amiss. she didn't fire him, debbie wasserman shultz, until after he was arrested at dulles airport trying to flee the fle e country. >> in the old days they covered the news and might foment on the opinion page there was certain kind of distinction. few if there is a story that's embarrassing from the left they ignore it. pretend it doesn't exist. that's clearly troubling. there is more to this story than we know. we not only have the conduct of awan himself but the unbelievable protective cover that debbie wasserman shultz was throwing around him. you remember the video of

abby: we want your thoughts on this debbie wasserman shultz story. aide that has been on her payroll. as you know he has been charged with bank fraud and caught as leaving the country at the airport. here is what shea said defending her decision. she said that i believe i did the right thing and i would do it again. there are times when you can't be afraid to stand alone and you have to stand up for what's right. if there's one thing i'm going to make sure i maintain, this is ironic, it is my integrity. there is also a "wall street journal" article today saying this is a much bigger deal. people are not paying attention to this. this is serious stuff. what is your reaction? >> >> amazing job breaking this story and following it for months. well, there needs to be a full on congressional investigation into this. there are a lot of aides to the it that believe there may be perhaps some blackmail material here. why else would you have debbie wasserman shultz threaten a capitol police chief on camera when he is simply trying to take her laptop as evidenc

that's been my hope for many many years and george shultz and henry kissinger and sam nunn and i formed a project some years ago dedicated that proposition for a few years i thought we were making progress but in the last four or five years it's clear we are moving backwards the russians have already started rebuilding the cold war nuclear arsenal and we're in the process of following suit we have by now in the defense budget a program to have and take many years the realized within the budget already a program to completely rebuild the nuclear arsenal this will be done at a cost of well over a trillion dollars over the next few decades. this is the big think that most people were not even aware of the fact that the program is underway noah this sounds this mr second this sounds like madness. i think it's less madness than it is ignorance that people don't understand the dangers and therefore they're complacent about them if they understood them they would not be so complacent and if they understood them i think we would formulate better policies for lowering the dangerous there's no wi

an interview with the miami sun sentinel, wasserman shultz failed to fire imran awan. she says he wasn't fired because quote, there were racial and ethnic profiling concerns i had. >> i believe i did the right thing, and i would do it again because as i said at the beginning of this conversation there are times when you can't be afraid to stand alone and you have to stand up for what's right. even in the face, you have to there are times you have to spend political capitol to do what's right. the easier thing to do for me would have been just fire him. obviously i was the person who's had the most political challenges in the last year. it would have been much easier for me to just cut him loose and say i'm going to look out for my best interests rather than end up for what i believe in. but i have to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day. if there's one thing i'm going to make sure that i maintain is my integrity. >> did you hear that? here you have a member of congress who kept a guy on her payroll, paid him with taxpayer money, he's now been accused of a
