well a specter of anticipation is hanging over washington d.c. as everyone is anticipating the release of the memo now at this point we've already heard from many republicans who say they've seen the memo and that the content is shocking they're calling it worse than the watergate scandal now essentially the memo is purported and expected to show great abuses by the f.b.i. that essentially that they have the f.b.i. and the u.s. department of justice were abusing the foreign intelligence surveillance act in order to spy on donald trump that is what is being alleged now we've already got a recording of donald trump on a hot mike saying that the memo will be released just released. right now one hundred. of. the f.b.i. is saying in complaining essential that they didn't have enough time to review the memo out before it's pending release and we've also heard from adam schiff a top democrat who is saying that changes to the memo have been made without prior approval and it's called on the white house essentially not to release it he's saying it's not

the media and the establishment in d.c. completely completely underestimated trumpeting vacuous this joke candidate who would win. now leading up to 2020, same elites and media and the d.c. beltway bubble assume that he's going to be the first one term president since george w. bush. they are in for another rude awakening. connell: do you think hasek would run as independents? >> they can try, but it's a waste of their time. they are both wildly unpopular comes initially trump voters. flake was the most unpopular senator in the country. these people are completely out of touch and clueless when it comes to working americans come in the same people who showed up in droves to go trump in office. i saw a poll yesterday that showed trump's approval rating at 50% right now, better than obama was at this time during his term. lauren: we could talk forever but we have to unfortunately wrap this up. thanks for your time. be back thank you. connell: plenty of time to get to it. lauren: 980 days. connell: in the meantime, starbucks w

meanwhile washington, d.c. had more influence on this session as yields pop after the senate came to a potential agreement on the 2-year spending deal. this in light of the nation's $20 trillion in public debt which doubled. public debt being over 100% of gdp. then there is inflationary implications. you couple that with tax cuts and infrastructure. you are talking about a budget without guardrails. one of the narratives that popped up about this rally is jay powell. most fed watchers have regarded him as a dove or centrist. he never rocked the boat. powell has been with the fed since february 2012. before the that the carlisle group. is this man who will roil the stock market? danielle, there was a vetting process. jerome jay powell was picked because it felt like he would walk the party line, now people are wondering if he's a hawk. >> with good reason. we only heard him give a handful of speeches. he was not among those on the speaking circuit constantly. it was a couple weeks ago we had the release of the t

group of undocumented activists are currently on a 250-mile walk from new york city to washington, d.c., to demand congress pass a permanent solution to daca and protect young undocumented immigrants. president trump met with governors monday to discuss gun control, even as he bowed to demands by the national rifle association to back away from proposals to increase the age for purchasing an assault-style rifle and to change the rules on bump stocks. at the meeting at the white house with governors, president trump also claimed that he would have run into the marjory stoneman douglas high h hool during the february 14 mass shooting, in which 17 people were killed by a former student. pres. trump: i really believe, you don't know until you test it, but i really believe i would an ---- even if i do not have weapon. and i think most of the people in this room would have done that, too, because i know most of you. at the way they performed was really a disgrace. president trump also he had amy: lunch with the leaders of the nra, wayne lapierre e and chris cox, o over the weekend ad that la

so these kids all flooded into d.c. today, including all of these kids streaming out of union station to go protest. for at least the second time in the past week, teenagers held these dramatic protests on the street right outside the white house, between the white house and lafayette park. kids protested in gilbert, arizona, parker, colorado, pittsburgh, pennsylvania and stafford township, new jersey and bellingham, washington. they protested all over florida. florida's a very, very big state, population wise and geographically. and when the kids from parkland, florida arrived in tallahassee today, they had had to travel seven hours across the state to get there, and they did. in florida, state politics are republican-dominated now and pro-gun-republican-dominated now. the state has been among the most extreme, even experimental policy environments for the nra. but these kids already have succeeded in getting florida's republican less laters to talk about something they wouldn't talk about. we don't know what's in the

who was involved in the preparation of the report pled guilty in washington d.c. as the latest court proceedings of the special counsel's investigation. joining us is ken vogel who has been on this story from the beginning. mr. vogel, thank you for being here. >> thank you, rachel. >> the through line for me for understanding and the special counsel's investigation is that paul manafort was representing the ukrainian president who did the bad thing which was the subject of this report through this law firm. it's a sort of winding road you have to follow in order to see how this connects to the initial charge of mueller's special counsel investigation. >> yeah. that is the most direct through line and i agree, it is a torturous one. however, there are also bread crumbs that lead to sort of a different bucket of the mueller investigation. that is current connections to russia, russian oligarchs and that is through this young man's father-in-law who as you pointed out is one of the founding oligarchs of alpha bank and closest to the russian security services and inte
