captioning sponsored by cbs >> brennan: it's sunday, april 28th, i am margaret brennan and this is "face the nation". >> there is breaking news overnight as we have learned more about the gunman who opened fire in a synagogue in southern california. one victim is dead, three are wounded. we will have the latest. >> looks like a hate crime. hard to believe. >> hard to believe. >> former vice president joe biden makes it official. >> we are in the battle for the soul of this nation. >> brennan: and the name calling has already begun for the president. >> can you imagine sleepy joe? crazy bernie. >> brennan: coming up this week in washington, a tale of two committees. as attorney general william barr prepares to testify before the house and senate judiciary committees. president trump can't seem to stop talking about the russian investigation. >> i never told don mcgahn to fire mueller. if i wanted to fire mueller i would have done it myself. >> brennan: senator judiciary chairman lindsey graham says she done with mueller but that's not the case in the house, where democrats are in power an

>> brennan: why not? they have oversight. >> mueller -- >> brennan: if some people in the justice department did think the president commited obstruction of justice, shouldn't they be heard out? and if there is nothing it to, why not allow it? >> can we listen to the report first? the leakers who leaked to the any ti has the there were problems in the report, notice they leak nod specifics. i can't imagine that the reporter didn't ask, give me an example. give me an example of something in the report that suggests that the president obstructed justice. >> brennan: some have argued it's almost forcing barr's hand to not keep that private. >> in other words, these people who hate him who were willing to commit a criminal act, if they have dynamite, they're not giving it to them. >> brennan: is the president considering a pardon for michael flynn? >> the president is not considering pardons at this time. >> brennan: ever? >> how old would i know. we decided the whole question of pardons would be put off. >>

. >> brennan: welcome back to "face the nation." we're join now by larry kudlow, the director of the president's national economic council. larry, good to have you here. i want to ask you, the president tweeted saturday night about what's happening at ports of entry along the southern border, saying that traffic is going to be snarled and that there could be commercial delays. that's almost $2 billion in commerce that cross this border every day. how much of an impact is this going to have? >> well, i don't know. i mean, i don't think we're going to have an official shutdown. i think president's been quite clear on that. he has seen some things on the mexican side, guarding their border in the south that he likes some we seem to have some cooperation, things may be improving slightly. it's an impossible situation. all these people coming across, 100,000 people now, illegals in the last month or some it's got to be dealt with, the drug traffic, the humanitarian problems, the economic problems among other things. so we looked at this

he said ernie, this is ken brennan. i said who? he said batman and then i knew who he was. >> i call him up, and i say, listen, you know, i need help. >> well, like i said if he would've called me and asked me for anything, especially criminal activity, i would've found it. >> so he calls him and he tells him about this big investigation, about the guy with the suitcase. how he's trying to track down who this guy is and having a tough time doing it. and he tells him about this company, centerplate, that had employed a guy from louisiana who fits the description of the suspect he is looking for. >> ken knows that the man he's looking for was doing food concessions. and he needs somebody in new orleans to help him find out who this person was. >> centerplate handles a venue outside of new orleans at a semi pro baseball stadium. so i said listen, you know, i know it's not even in your city but do you mind sending a guy out and seeing if you can find a guy, a big 6'4" black guy wearing glasses? >> that kind of information w

i'm margaret brennan. president trump flew to the southern border today and delivered a blunt message to migrants hoping to enter the u.s.-- "turn around." an estimated 100,000 were apprehended at the border last month, a majority of them families. the president says the country is full. he accused asylum seekers of trying to pull off a scam. chip reid is traveling with the president.vi wall. >> reporter: president trump today toured a two-mile section of border wall completed last fall in calexico, california. a plaque proudly decrees that this is >> we are completely overwhelmed as agents and as an agency. >> reporter: during a discussion with border officials, he was told border agents simply can't handle the recent flood of migrants coming through mexico from el salvador, honduras, and guatemala. the president said he has a message for those coming or thinking about coming to the u.s., including those who say they are being persecuted in their own countries and are seeking asylum. >> we can't take you.

we'll talk with utah republican mike lee and margaret brennan talks with new jersey's cory booker. plus a look at three new books about powerful women and an interview with pulitzer prize winning biographer robert cahill. finally i'll have some thoughts on the fire at notre dame. it's all just ahead on "face the nation." good morning an welcome to "face the nation." i'm bob schieffer. margaret is off today. it is a grim easter sunday and third night of passover as we come on the air. there have been eight bombings overnight in and around three cities in sri lanka. at least 200 are reported dead, 450 more injured, and those numbers will likely go higher. our cbs news senior foreign correspondent elizabeth palmer reports now from new delhi, india. >> reporter: on what should have been the most joyful day in the christian calendar, there was shock and grief. one bomb went off at st. anthony's shrine in the capital colombo. another at st. sebastian. the blast was big enough to have destroyed the roof. violence is nothing new here in a country that has suffered years of civil war, but a

yes, i was upset. >> reporter: but ken brennan isn't bothered. he has a hunch that jones has done this before. >> ken brennan knew that he was dealing with a serial rapist, and he was proved right. >> reporter: authorities enter jones' dna into a fbi database and find he's a match for two other victims. jennifer russler who was raped in colorado springs in 2005 and this woman whom we're calling h composite sketch at the time. >> seeing that sketch next to sasfying. it was e ie yes. >> reporter: ultimately, jones was convicted in colorado on multiple counts of sexual assault and given a sentence of it 24 years to iife. thn 2015, he pleads guilty to two counts of forcible rape in louisiana and was sentenced to 45 years. >> reporter: you gave almost two year of your life to this case with. how did it feel to finally see this guy brought to justice? >> i gave two years of my life investigatal wise, but the victims give a whole lot more. the victims are the heroes here. >> i feel heartened that the criminal is where he's supposed to be, and he never t

brennan. and then i want to get into the obstruction bucket, second. let me put up full screen one, guys, and what comes from the report on page 173. in sum, the investigation established multiple links between the trump campaign officials and individuals tied to the russian government. those links included russian offers of assistance to the campaign, in some instances, the campaign was receptive to the offer, in other instances, the campaign financial shied away. ultimately, the investigation did not establish that the campaign coordinated or conspired with the russian government in its election interference activities. but it feels like there's a huge "but" here, ben wittes. >> yeah, the huge "but" is basically that the standards of conspiracy require that the two conspirators or multiple conspirators have some kind of meeting of the minds, but if there's just kind of ships that are sailing in the same direction and kind of doing favors for each other and, you know, both enjoying it, that's not going to get you there. and so i think, you know, the p

he is our senior national security and intelligence analyst for amazon the see john brennan head of the cia and james clapper the director of national intelligence and for two years they took part in promoting the notion that trump was possibly compromised by russia john brennan also predicted that miller was going to hand down indictments for the trump russia conspiracy and he is going to be delivering what i think are going to be his indictments the fact that never came and the lesson we should draw from that which we should have drawn after iraq is that we do not trust intelligence officials or anyone without concrete evidence but we got today as a summary. findings now after years of being told to expect an indictment even a possible impeachment american news audiences have to reassess the entire russia gates story and they lack the evidence they need to do that. the muller investigation a reported three hundred pages long has not been made public all the media have to go on is a four page summary from the attorney general bill barr who was appointed by the president that's a ke

former cia director john brennan. thank you. >>> the now professed russian agent who finds herself on the verge of heading to prison and getting deported for trying to infiltrate. >>> president trump comparing himself to joe biden. new digs as his campaign launch and a couple snags. we'll talk about that after the break. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting. chantix reduces the urge so when the day arrives, you'll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. stop chantix and get help right away if you have changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions, seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, or life-threatening allergic and skin reactions. decrease alcohol use. use caution driving or operating machinery. tell your doctor if you've had mental health problems.

happened is unthinkable with strzok and page and comey and mccabe and all of these characters, and brennan and clapper and, you know, you look at what comey did as the director of the fbi, it's a disgrace. it's a disgrace to our country. and i think that i'm going to maybe -- i hope i'm going to be able to put this down as one of

that's all john brennan ever was and that's all he ever will be. so we need -- there needs to be an investigation about what brennan knew. did he learn anything from his old intelligence sources, did he get information good or bad that he shouldn't have had. those are things, those are things that need to be uncovered. maybe a special prosecutor needs to be looking into brennan and clapper and comey and the rest of the cabal. trish: i don't like the idea of that because i'm so sick of special prosecutors at this point. i do have a lot of questions. >> the american people deserve answers and the president deserves answers on how this began. trish: we do. we absolutely do, david. the idea that this dossier made its way to the fbi, the idea that the fbi's out there issuing fisa warrants on innocent americans, spying on -- and by the way, never even telling the judge where their information was coming from, where the source of it was, and that somehow wasn't relevant to them. >> one good piece of news is we know that the department of justice inspector

would i bet money one of those was fusion gps and nelly orr working for brennan and struk. when and where do you think this started. >> dan: what you said, for everyone out there to view, if you doubt any word that she's saying, april of 2017, that fisa court review, that indicates that access to private contractors is out there for everyone to look at. greg, i think, some was detacted but you can check it out. the next shoe is the mueller probe i think. the mueller probe that's getting left out of everybody's conversation on this, when did mueller know exactly that this collusion was a hoax? you and i knew two years ago. so did any rational, sent yint being. what was he doing for 675 do yous. >> he knew as early as december of 2017, which is about 7 or 8 months after mueller was appointed special counsel. he certainly knew a year ago from today. so why the american public had to go through this agonizing investigation that to some extent debilitated and deterred the president's efforts to advance policy decisions, why mueller sat on at least that part of it, no collusion p

we do not yet know whether or not john brennan was involved and to what degree. we do not know whether or not john brennan colluded with british spy agencies to spy on americans. it's illegal for our c.i.a. to spy on americans. we don't yet know whether or not john brennan was colluding with british spy agencies and other spy agencies to get them to do his dirty work. we do know now that john brennan, who had the power to listen to every american's phone call, who had the power to listen to every person's phone call in the entire world, we know that he is a rank partisan. we now know that john brennan has called the president a traitor, essentially saying the president should be put to death. this is the guy that was in charge of this investigation. this isn't an objective person. we need to know about all of the communications. so i'm asking unanimous consent that we modify this resolution and that we find out and gain access to all the communications between comey, brennan, and clapper and the white house and president obama because i don't want to ruin this gr

well we have two reporters following all the latest developments for you paul brennan is outside the u.k. parliament will be with him in just a few moments time first though let's go to the fark are his science the prime minister's office where that cabinet meeting has been underway for several hours now needs you've been there for many hours now is that a sign that perhaps the cabinet as divided as the british parliament is. yes let me be precise more than eight hours in finance and there was a bit of a flurry of activity a few moments ago some close protection officers shuffling around we've heard the sound of some engines have started the been serial cars being parked outside number ten has now turned into a bit of a jog on their way seeing obviously to whisk off ministers to do other things with their day what's left of it at least so all eyes on obviously the black door behind me we may well see some senior ministers start to leave in a few moments or so but to be honest who really knows one would assume that after eight hours that ministers of chatted and discussed all differen

john brennan isn't going to need one lawyer. he's going to need five. >> mike: robert ray, let me bring you in on this. you've also served as a federal prosecutor in the whitewater investigation. do you have confidence that we are ever going to get to the bottom of this, and by the bottom of it, find out who just was feeding at the bottom of the river here, and that people are going to be held accountable for the violation of civil liberties, for the corruption, the cover-up, and the attempted coup of a sitting elected president. >> the start of getting to the bottom of it is going to be, as expected, the release of the inspector general, michael horowitz a's report, sometime, i think the attorney general indicated in either may or june of this year. i think that will have to happen first before the attorney general then conducts the investigation that he is indicated in testimony before the congress that he intends to conduct. yes, governor, i do think we will get to the bottom of this, and i think to put sort of a bow on this

well paul brennan as i sites ten downing street said forrest ny with all the latest poll what's been happening. well here there's been a cabinet meeting and it's lasted about seven and a quarter hours as far as we know my understanding is that the cabinet meeting is now wrapped up but the ministers have not. and the belief is that they're being kept inside absence of their phones or separated from their phones while the prime minister decides how it is that she's going to formulate a description of the decision that has been reached hearing reports that perhaps the election has been put out for the promise to make a statement that hasn't been confirmed yes but clearly we are not hearing anything from number ten just yet that's not to say there isn't activity in fact this frantic activity just a few hundred yards away in the parliament building where and peace are trying to get their ducks in a row for want of a better description to alternative arrangements to the prime minister's deal and they are going to try to seize control of parliamentary time again on weapons day with the labo

after the rally, senator booker sat down with face the nation's margaret brennan and spoke about the president's plan to send migrants to sanctuary cities. >> do you think this is an empty threat by the president to talk about busing people from the border into these sanctuary cities. he likes to create friction to jump start a congress that's not acting. >> i say he's trying to pit americans against each other. >> so you take the threat seriously. >> i take this, he's injecting fear into our country. and so if he was looking to solve a problem, he wouldn't be doing things to divide this country against itself. beware of anybody that's trying to tell you to be afraid in the strongest country in the world. opposed to showing strength and courage by pulling people together to find common sense solutions to solve this problem. >> that was marg et brennan talking with presidential candidate, cory booker. >>> richard neil sent a new request for president trump's tax returns in a letter sent today to irs commissioner, charles redding. neil demanded six years of the president's personal and

but john brennan really stuck his neck out on this story, and here's an example of what he said right before the report or barr letter came out, and right after. let's watch. >> i wouldn't be surprised, for example this week on friday, not knowing anything about it, but friday is the day the grand jury indictments come down. >> i think i suspected there was more than there actually was. >> martha: hmm. >> the nation's former director of cia pontificating on his inside sources that were entirely bogus, and it puts into question his prior statements and analysises. he is someone who said he didn't know anything about the dossier. he said in may 19 -- 2017, but we know he talked to harry reid about it, and we know he was help in gathering foreign intelligence people to work with the fbi in terms of george papadopoulos' interrogations, inform and into the trump campaign. we have kind of woken up out of a slumber, like rip van winkle, and said wow, we had a foreign national tampering with a u.s. campaign, and this continued first to thwart the presidency, then they transition -- excuse me,

james clapper and john brennan look distraught. take a look. >> the investigation was predicated certainly and the fbi was trying to understand exactly what the russians were doing. u.s. intelligence agencies were spying against foreign adversaries so we can understand the threat to national security. >> it was stunning and scary. i was amazed at that and rather disapointed that the attorney general would say such a thing. the term "spying" has all kinds of negative connotations. i have to believe he chose that term deliberately. >> i'm sure he did do it deliberately. those two men were at the center of the dossier dissemination while serving in our intelligence community. we need to trust those officials. the tools we give them are powerful. they're not to be turned on the american people. brennan, clapper, national disgrace. so too are the democratic lawmakers on capitol hill. they're constitutionally mandated to perform oversight on the doj and the fbi and they root out corruption, abuse of power in the department of justice. to

is that john brennan? clapper? i don't know. i think john brennan was more of a puppetmaster than people first thought. >> you have this list, these committal referrals, eight to the doj? what happens next? what could be the outcome for all this? >> this is up to 2 dozen criminal referrals and what can happen, he referred these to ag bar, he will look at these results and i have to tell you i don't think he will dismiss these out of hand, the former head of the house intelligence committee making these referrals. if he decides to take them up and investigate them and does find criminal behavior people go to jail and that's the important thing here. i do think crimes were committed. people used our surveillance state and law enforcement as political tools against political opponents over policy differences. for us to not have consequences a reckoning is to normalize it. i hope bar will be serious about this and i hope there will be consequences and i hope there are people that go to jail and never do this again. shannon: would th

john brennan is with us. of course, the former cia director who these days is a senior national security and intelligence analyst around these parts. he has not been -- this is his first reaction to the mueller report today. and director brennan, your take on it. >> hi, brian. well, like many others, i'm wading my way through the report, but i do have a number of reactions to the report and events this morning. the first, i'm very pleased at the amount of report that was not redacted, that has seen the light of day. i think it demonstrates that the department of justice professionals and those within the special counsel's team really fulfilled their professional responsibilities ably. second, the extent of the redactions that are related to ongoing investigations and potential prosecutions, i think it shows that although the mueller team has concluded its work, there is still a lot of related activity going on that may very well lead to further criminal charges of individuals who were involved in criminal act

margaret brennan has the details. >> caterpillar as revenumps 5% for mining and construction equipment. mining was the bright spot as revenue for that unit soared 18%, but the main focus o investors, construction sales. cat's biggest w segmeld climb just three. in the u.s., infrastructure spending at the state and local level helped fuel demand and business in china was once a source for weakness as caterpillar now grapples with more competition there. >> spring season, as you knows usually a strong selling season in china and it was stronger uean normal across t many to th chinese new year and there's been competitive pricing and that's hadome impact on our road to market shares and the expectation for t industry for the full year is for china to be up. we suspect our sales to be flattish for the year. >> china accounts for 10% of the cat's overall revenue and the worried investor and the compaso raising guidance, but do benefits andx higher costs for labor, freight and raw materials pressured margin. shares of the c dowponent fell in trading today, but the bottom line in an uncertain

what we have seen now, even with brennan, clapper and comey, and the things they have said on national tv, post the obama administration, their absolute opposition to this president. it is evident in the way we see the abuse of power and the department of justice and the fbi and our intelligence agency. >> with the mueller report done, we finally have a sense that this is serious business and that we can actually look at it without being afraid and with the seriousness of taking care of business, that it is not really about trump, it is not even a partisan issue. this is about what can happen in a power framework where there has been no accountability for generations. do you think we are finally at this point that we can do this and that we will do it in looking at it seriously and completely? >> if i were james comey, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, brennan, clapper, i would be very, very worried and not sleeping very well. the inspector general has spent a year examining the origins of the trump russia collusion investigation. >> we normally see government investigations, committee stuf

>> if i were james comey, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, brennan, clapper, i would be very, very worried and not sleeping very well. the inspector general has spent a year examining the origins of the trump russia collusion investigation. >> we normally see government investigations, committee stuff. >> this is different. >> it never becomes anything. there is never a result. >> i think you will see criminal referrals in the next 60 days in the i.g. over to the department of justice. bill barr has made it abundantly clear he is serious about undertaking a legitimate investigation, because he realizes the evidence appears tn be there that if the fbi, in particular, there was a cesspool of corporation among the upper -- corruption among the upper echelons. >> this is our chance to say to everyone in the political field we are t serious about taking ce of these issues, that there will be repercussions. our infrastructure relies on the legitimacy that the american people give to it because we trust them. great, gentlemen. thank you, tom. i appreciate everybody. sorry. we are sort of time her

so yeah it's still all it's a play for remember no deal is still technically a real possibility paul brennan thank you very much indeed a day off to protest as shut down roads and tires in south africa's alexandra terra ship things are slowly returning to normal and many are still frustrated with what they say is the government's failure to deliver services and to have a spec how much faster has more. it's calm but still tense in johannesburg's alexandra township as people slowly try to get on with their lives after wednesday's protests but it's going to take a lot longer for angle of a poverty rising unemployment and poor service delivery to end. is one of many south africans angry with the government she's lived in alexandra township for more than ten years and says she's not sure about voting anymore you know seeing next months are. you supposed to. hold for what. years you suppose because when you. stop posting rude but we get to vote. no. no not taking. risks and that's why some residents protested barricading roads with burning tires and rocks demanding the government delivers better s

trish: it is amazing to think that john brennan was out there effectively calling the president and agent of russia. as the man who ran the cia or under president obama. you want to talk about partisan hacks at the cia, that's a great example. we will talk about that later in the show. let me ask you this because the criticism right now is surrounding from the left, attorney general william barr. he should not have had this and what do you think? mac quickly thing is fascinating when you have democrats in the past praising attorney general william barr 's experience and insight and the legal field. now you have the fact that the democrats found a new villain. that is attorney general william barr. he is a straight shooter and i think that this is one of the things he was working with our deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein as well as with the office of legal counsel. these are career lawyers as well. he worked with robert mueller. i mean they took time to get the report done and obviously, looking to see what needed to be redacted in terms of ensuring that it would protect sensitive i

morgan brennan is at the emerge conference in miami. morgan, there is a lot of money and a lot with their eyes on this region. >>> there absolutely is, deirdre. we talk about the tech unicorns coming to the market now the question, what is next or perhaps, i should say, where softbank is setting sights on latin america launching its innovation fund, news that it broke a few weeks ago, the size is unprecedented the total here is the equivalent of all of the investments for 2018 and 2017 combined i just spoke with the new managing investment partner here at emerge on stage just a short while ago. here is how he says softbank is going to be targeting these investments and how they're thinking about this. >> they have to be in it not for the money. they have to be in it for changing how things are done, to serve customers better that's really what it is about the moment i sense they're in it for the money, it's not interesting anymore. so that kind of passion, that kind of commitment has to be really, really strong. and, second, a deep benc

john brennan and clapper informed him. everybody knows that is where wd are headed and it's about time because a lot of very innocent people have been hurt. not just donald trump, who has been absolutely, outrageously harmed by what president obama authorized and now the chickens are coming home to roost, as reverend wright used to say in chicago. >> sean: you always make me laugh. it is not fair. i can't focus. victoria, let me ask you. by the way, all three of you have been a big part of this ensemble for two years and we have all gotten beaten up for it. thank you for your hard work. joe, you hate it, know. victoria, i want to know two things. what is going to happen and do you really believe that justice will be served for these bad actors? >> justice will be served and columnist abernathy, who should do another column very soon, and ask this question, what did barack obama know? when did he know it? how many meetings were they're at the white house about this russia investigation? we know there was one on january 5th

john brennan, carper, national disgrace. so, too, the radical democratic lawmakers onla capitol hill. they are constitutionally mandated to perform oversight on the doj and the fbi. they are the ones who were supposed to root out corruption, abuse of power in the department of justice. tonight, they are only interested in perpetrating the russian hoax or tinfoil hat conspiracy theories yet again. those that have now been debunked by four separate investigations. speaker pelosi telling the ap that she doesn't trust attorney general barr. she trusts robert mueller. someone should remind nancy about this direct quote from the mueller report. "the investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired are coordinated with the russian government and its election interference activities. those are not attorney general barr's words. those come straight from the mother report. that is not stopping congressman the last presidential candidate eric swalwell from talking about this collusion delusion and tak. today

i would bet money one of those was fusion gps on nellie ohr, working with brennan and strzok. when and where do you think this started. >> dan: what you said, for everyone out there to view, if you doubt any word that she's saying, april of 2017, that fisa court review, that indicates that access to private contractors is out there for everyoneha to look a. gregg, i think, some was redacted but you can check it out. the next shoe to drop on this is the mueller probe. at the big question that's getting left out of everybody's conversation on this, when did mueller do exactly that collusion was a hoax? you and i knew two years ago. so did any rational, sentient being. what was he doing for 675 do days. >> according to the president's lawyer, john dowd, he20 knew as early as december of 2017, which is about 7 or 8 moms after mueller was appointed special counsel. he certainly knew a year ago from today. so why the american public had to go through this agonizing investigation that to some extent debilitated and deterred the president's efforts to advance policy decisions, why mue

and then you look at a guy like brennan with his big mouth and you look at clapper who is a dummy and yet he was in intelligence. he's a dumb guy. the they lied and they lied to congress. clapper lied so badly it's incredible, to congress. and then they get paid by cnn. maria: we have that resume. >> cnn, they go and make more money than they've ever seen before, although possibly they made more than that. we don't know about it. something had to go on. it's a disgrace. everybody wants to know, and you might be number one on the list, i watch your show, you're incredible. you may be number one on the list. everybody wants to know how did it start, why did it start, what about the dossier. how much did hillary clinton pay for the dossier. you know she paid for it. and the dnc paid for it. maria: i think it was $1 million. >> this guy steele is a total fraud. maria: i think it was $1 million. >> everybody wants to know about it. that's really -- hopefully they'll being going there. maria: mr. president, thank you so much for calling in this morning many i appreciate it. i know you have

-brennan thicke. how are you? nice to meet you. brennan thicke is one of dana's clients. he's the son of the late actor alan thicke. after a decade running dispensaries in southern california, brennan's come to humboldt looking to buy a pot farm. so let's say that you called me and you said, "marcus, i know you invest in all sorts of crazy stuff, i want you to invest in the marijuana business, and here's my pitch -- i want you to put up $5 million." i would say that as the legal market expands that this is going to be a $10-plus billion-a-year industry. but what happens if everybody's wrong about the demand side and the supply is just -- -through the roof? -yeah. unbelievable supply, commodity prices drop. instead of being $1,200 a pound or $1,500 a pound, it's now $400 a pound or $300 a pound. it's really going to come down to branding and quality. if you're producing an excellent product, and you're creating a beautiful flower, then there's going to be good money in that as well. good money? maybe. but there's a fear among many growers that big agriculture or big tobacc

and then clapper and brennan. i have a bone to pick with both of them. first of all clapper basically said what happened if there wasn't actual collusion proven it was passive collusion what is he talking about? >> they are trying desperately to hold on and keep propped up the hoax and a knowing lie. they knew there was no collusion. trying to bring in the pretextual intelligence reports working with the clinton campaign as part of that to go after president trump with the unprecedented spying campaign. not just the doj or fbi the nsa, office director of national intelligence they were all part of this all hands on deck going after kennedy trump and then it morphed into the mueller investigation. so there never should have been a report for qwest far as i am concerned this is another abuse of power by the special counsel operation designed to hamper the president as to oppose to shed light on anything substantial. jeanine: and because we are short of time i only have one more question but when people like brennan say those actions are treasonous but then
