for the first step, i think it is enough and is totally a success. peter: should i assume from everything you are saying that there is a mood of euphoria in south korea at this time? hope ines, we find more this moment, and i also personally experienced that many koreans had fear in their heart, fear of war, and this was hiding .nside them for many y years when they face the fear that is inside their heart, fear of war then theyde powers, cannot survive for their whole lives because they know how devastating the situation can be. but they have overcome their fears. they are trying to step further festivals out of -- they are feasting this summit, and they found some hope in the korean peninsula that peace can actually be made in this korean peninsula. peter: very positive take. , donaldkarnitschnig trump the deal has scored a great victory in singapore. matthew: it may be too early to claim "great victory," but just the fact that, as i said, he got the north koreans to the table and they are discussing such sensitive issues or will be in the coming weeks is something that one s

is rife with sorcery accusations. he sorcery is known as sanguma. peter is a local policeman on a mission to help people accused of sanguma. people don't tend to believe in accidental or untimely deaths here. so when someone dies suddenly, an accusation is made. peter has a tough job. peter has a string of helpers around the area who alert him to cases. we have come to meetjenny who is accused of killing her niece with sanguma. she has been living in fear in this safe house with her husband and five children after she was attacked i am of in her village. —— bya attacked i am of in her village. —— by a mob. what were they saying to you? like many other survivors, jenny's life is in ruins. she is also scared about her children's future. treasure, tricia. single mother, she was once accused of sanguma elsewhere. there are centre is run by li na who works with victims and also accuses. —— lena. she tells me thatjenny‘s accuser has failed to let the family returned to the community, so we go to confront him. and what is surprising is that not only is he jenny's and what i

peter: a very warm welcome to quadriga.. where 25 yearsy ago, a racist arson attack on a turkish family left to lament --d and three girls also did two women dead and three girls also died. two people took part in -- f four ment made set ththe home ablaze. it was one of the worst atrocities in germany's postwar history. this is where their children was born and this is their home. a quarter century has passed since the terrible tragedy. to discuss the question, i am joined in the studio a.l. impose ellen who says that germany has changed for the worst. it raises and -- racism and islamophobia have a place in parliament now. also a freelance journalist with turkish roots. she made speeches for some of germany's tv channels. in times of growing, it was in important political signal that chancellor merkel commemorated with the foreign minister. chairman on turkish negotiations. after the arson, rhetoric is suddenly mainstream. chancellor merkel said they are playing with fire. thank you for being here with me today on quadriga. i would like to begin with a simple question. what does

line tonight. huge breaking news. learning that the anti-fbi trump hater, peter strzok is escorted from fbi headquarters, why does he still have a job? james comey under investigation, andrew mccabe may face criminal charges. robert mueller's pitch hunt has been exposedtor rampant huge political bias as the origins of the so-called investigation were clearly illegitimate. president trump has been vindicated. less an week since the inspeckior general's r is released but there's clear evidence there is a deep state in the country and it's slowly crumb nling before our eyes. definitely without a doubt as i predicted the year of the boomerang much the i.g. michael horowitz back on the hill in an extremely contentious hearing. we have all of the highlights and we'll roll out the rampant bias from the lead investigator, peter strzok, destroyed any credibility that has surrounded mueller's partisan witch hunt. news about rod rosenstein and his ongoing obstruction and mueller's pit bull, an dry weissmann, he's the subject of freedom of information lawsuit surrounding his bias. was at hillary's

cable or satellite rovider. peter: cory bennett of politico has it developed world wide? cory: you can straight up purchase technology and sign a contract with a company in the u.s. but, perhaps, one of the more interesting and less understood ways to acquire sensitive technology is through an investment in that company. it's not a very traditional way we think about acquiring something. we think about a very old school model of mergers and acquisitions where, you know, big steal buys -- big steel buys little steel. today you can have some sort of insight into sensitive technology by, say, an early stage investment in a company that is not yet proven. you can be a seed funder when it is still in a -- in the a series of funding. you can develop a joint venture, a joint partnership. these can be several ways you can have some degree of access to this technology without necessarily gaining the insight or triggering some sort of oversight mechanism. there are these new ways, which is one of the things we were looking at that people can get access to the sensitive technology. peter: bryan b

day fifo world cup you know me and peter smikle one is a month just noted legend the other is not half time peter england versus to see it done and hold your ground it's been action packed to say the least stay with us because we're going to have a little bit of the highlights of the first half peter but it's been all action one was on but i really should have gone in more about the how it's one one should have been seven one and i'm not even exact you're even. on his own and that's one that fall massive chances away sterling missed an open goal completely open go. and john stallings also missed a very big chance the only chance that hurricane had and we talked about this before the game he scored so far and then say i hope that the chances are falling for how you came in the second half. really we had came really with game and then not playing really well in the end until they have to finish obviously missing the chances but the fence of the i don't know what they've done kyle walker gave appellants he away and completely unnecessary penalty away he was just looking at and scorin

inside there were in the one their game volgograd peter all of our is done there for us peter just when we thought it was over a last minute winner how delighted in funds where you are. yes there's a lot see a lot of england fans the actually at the england front the bus majority the noisiest group of figure comes the riverside the volgograd stadium you were mentioning vuvuzela said here on their union this quite a few vuvuzela is going on here you know here as well with the largest body of england found the loudest crowd of english fans who is right behind that goal and it's behind the goal we hurricane school that went on in that ninety minutes now as a relief i think initially was the big feeling here that as we can hear it every now and again is turning into a it's a celebration this was a game they thought they were going to win many of the england fans i think they felt they deserved to win it as things started not to go as well as perhaps they would have wanted there was chances that didn't go when you felt that in the crowd you felt the atmosphere drop a little bit it became a l

secretary peter o'rourke. so peter, thank you. peter, where's pe that's a great team. i also want to thank some of our many leaders -- i call them leaders because on this legislation they are indeed leaders. you know, they said that it would be very slow. it's political season. we have an election coming on november 6th. they said it would be very, very slow, this period of time. i was just telling mike, you know, mike, this hasn't been very slow. we passed dodd-frank, right to try. we just got $700 billion for our military. [ applause ] that's a big one. we needed to get that. military's going to be stronger, bigger, better than it ever was before. hopefully we won't have to use it very much, but the fcthaweha probably won't have to use it as much. i want to thank all of the great people in the audience who helped us so much. on december 22n which doesn't quite fit into the january 1st date, but on december 22nd, we signed the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. that's a big one. and we got $1.6 billion. we've already started the wall on the southern border. $1.6 billion

you those fireworks and also meantime, fbi official peter strzok whose anti -trump and hillary texts were revealed in the ig's report now says he is willing to voluntarily testify for the house judiciary committee, so will he talk away his bias there money, politics, we deliver the debate behind tomorrow's headlines, i'm elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. the dow did slip down 103 points to end the day at 24, 987 more on that in just a moment but first senator orrin hatch really ripping into the doj inspector general michael horowitz as well as fbi director christopher wray they were both testifying on capitol hill today about the ig's report on the fbi 's conduct during the hillary clinton e-mail probe. >> you emphasized that the report focused on a small number of fbi employees. well let's remember who that small number of employees was. the director of the fbi, the deputy director of the fbi, and the clinton e-mail investigation , and the russia investigation. these were not junior field agents. these were senior agency officials. they were running two of the

obama over separating children from their parents. we have the evidence tonight. and anti-trump peter strzok is in huge trouble. he was escorted out of the fbi agency. bad news for andrew mccabe and james comey and robert mueller. strzok is at the center of a tangled wep of nothing but corruption and bias to influence a presidential election. we are at the precipice of the biggest scandal in modern political history. we have a jam-packed edition. the president is not doing my hour like tucker. we begin with our opening monologue. the rally you saw on fox just ended. you would not know it if you were watching the mainstream media. cnn barely covered it. and conspiracy tv msnbc acted like it was not happening. we brought you the rally including when the president took democrats and the mainstream media to task over the topic of immigration. one reason the media did not cover it they would be called out for all of their lies and the fact they are missing the biggest story in american history. >> democrats don't care about the impact of uncontrolled migration on your communities, schools

. i'm maria. anti-trump fbi agent peter has explaining to do after he's called out in a justice watchdog report. bob will join sunday morning futures exclusively along with john ratcliff. >>> we will also see if they can find rod after his agency hands over documents on the russian probe. this falls short of the deadline request. we have the intel committees response. >>> as the trump administration tries to reunite migrant families. the president said stop wasting time on immigration reform until after the midterm elections. could this payoff? our panel will weigh-in as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. >>> the house chairman issued a subpoena for peter in a closed door section this wednesday. the embattled fbi agent coming under fire with anti-trump text with his lover lisa page. internal watchdog released a report saying such displays hurt the fbi's image but didn't hurt the outcome of the e-mail investigation or the investigation conducted by robert mueller. they are still reviewing to see if the anti-trump bias hurt the probe. the subpoena nails down the specific date this we

banks made this week as geopolitical tensions hang in the balance. peter oppenheimer, chief strategist, joins us at the open. matt: looking forward to that very much. less than a half-hour away from the open of european stocks. let's take a look at where futures are indicating we will see that open. up across the board, it looks like that japanese trade, which was positive, kind of outweighing the negativity coming out of the shenzhen shanghai and 300. take a look at treasury yields. we had a retreat in yields as investors bought treasuries friday. this is a three-day chart. we are coming back here as investors sell off treasuries, may no longer looking for safe haven. this could be a risk on day. rk: what a week we've got.? look at all the g10 assets moving as of now. look at japan's nikkei, the spillover into global equity markets isn't noticeable from that big fallout at the end of the g7 summit in quebec over the weekend. look at the nikkei 225, up by roughly .5%. the dollar is trading lower against the yen, down .4%. this is a massive week. we've got the trump meeting, the trifect

political analyst. peter baker, chief white house correspondent for "the new york times" and an msnbc political analyst. and eli stokols is a white house reporter for the "l.a. times" and an msnbc political analyst. kristen, let's start with you. the president wasn't done. he's tweeting about paul manafort right now. >> it was a remarkable morning, katy, there's no doubt about that. and it did start off with the president saying that that doj ig report yesterday exon ratera him. as you rightly point out, it doesn't exonerate him. it only comments on the way the fbi handled the clinton investigation. paul manafort's bail has just been revoked. he says, wow, what a tough sentence for paul manafort who has represented ronald reagan, bob dole and many other top political people in campaigns. didn't know manafort was the head of the mob. what about comey and crooked hillary and all of the others? very unfair. katy, this echoes the tone that we heard from this president when he was talking to us here behind where i am standing right now. he was unleashed. he was on the attack. really

details with her. -- with you. >> did peter strzok brief you on it? >> no. >> did lisa page brief you on it? >> no. >> did sally moyer brief you on. -- on it? >> let me explain the process if i may. >> did trisha anderson brief you on it? >> no one from the fbi briefed me on it. the process, sir, that's that these fisa applications or renewals come up through the fbi chain of command. they are sworn under oath by a career federal agent. i'm not the after yant. >> you signed it. >> did you explain -- >> the time of the gentleman has expired. the witness will be permitted to answer the question. >> i'd like to explain the process. director wray can explain it, too, sir. my responsibility at that time was to approve filing of fisa applications. the attorney general, the deputy and the assistant attorney general. at the time, that position was they can. it's my responsibility do that. i had been relieved of that responsibility. director wray still does it everyday and i don't know what his process is, sir, but we sit down with a team of attorneys from the department of justice. all of who

, robert mueller was not part of the clinton investigation. peter strzok was fired as soon as he found out about those damaging texts. of course we don't know what mueller has found in the last year in his investigation. again, i have to ask, has president trump been exonerated? i clearly understand your point that there was bias in the fbi. has he been exonerated on allegations of collusion and obstruction? >> part of that depends upon what you view the mueller probe as. you mention collusion, the only person in the universe who claims to have evidence of collusion is adam schiff. unlike any other secret he's had, he's kept to this one. he's never told anyone what evidence he has. there's no evidence of college. obstruction of justice, good luck having your star witness being james comey from shoplifting to obstruction of justice. good luck if that is your star witness. for me, the mueller probe is about what russia did in 2016 and who if anyone they did it with. that's what i mean when i say mueller probe. i hope he does right - - of what russia did but there's no evidence that donal

. sometimes they block the road, or they will not allow police peter is a local policeman on a mission to help people accused of sanguma. people don't tend to believe in accidental or untimely deaths here. so, when someone dies suddenly, an accusation is made. peter has a tough job. peter has a string of helpers around the area who alert him to cases. we've come to meetjenny, who was accused of killing her niece with sanguma. she has been living in fear in a safe house with her husband sunny and five children, after she was attacked by a mob in her village. and what were they saying to you? like many of the survivors, her life is endangered. she's also accused of her children's future. the safe houses run with limited support. not only does she work with victims, but also accusers. she tells me thatjenny‘s accuser has failed to let the family returned to the community, so we go to co nfro nt returned to the community, so we go to confront him. and what's surprising is that not only is hejenny‘s brother—in—law, he's also the local headmaster. his wife welcomes us with the traditional gr

fbi official peter strzok. he is an idiot. awful, enormous douche, a disaster, he simply cannot be president. is he not ever going to become president. right? right? she wrote to strzok at one point? no strzok replied, no; no he won't. we will stop it. keep in mind these are the people running the investigations into donald trump and hillary clinton in the middle of a presidential race. it's almost unbelievable. but do you know what's even more unbelievable? peter strzok still works at the fbi. the man who promised to stop a presidential candidate from getting elected is still collecting a salary at our most powerful law enforcement agency. if you are looking for evidence of political bias, there you have it. and if you don't believe it, imagine this headline, for example, say 10 years ago, barack obama simply cannot become president, we will stop him, wrote fbi agent peter strzok who still works at the bureau. can you imagine? no, you would be fired immediately, first amendment be damned. and by the way strzok and page were not alone. they are not even the standout cases in this r

information about the peter strzok lisa page memos and what they were planning to do, and what they did do, in one case switch from the hillary clinton investigation over to the russia investigation. and they came out with more information about other fbi officials that apparently had just as much anti-trump boy as as peter strzok did. and they came out with information about copy being under investigation. at least we have information from the up spector general. >> the question is what happens next? all these folks have been implicated in setting up the mueller investigation. why is the mueller investigation sack crow san --investigation no scrutiny. we sued the justice department for the transcripts. the justice department told us we don't have any transcripts. david: unbelievable. what we did find out this week was very revealing from the inspector general. it was a tale of two cities seeing rosenstein and horowitz sitting next to each other. but one thing in specifically that horowitz said is that the bias exhibited so clearly by peter strzok and others at the fbi did translate

in texas. congressman peter king live on the hill with reaction there. let's start at the white house with kevin corke from the north lawn. is there concern at the white house they could lose this p.r. battle? >> they acknowledge it is not a good look given the public's perception but they also believe that americans can balance the need for compassion with also wanting fairness and a legal immigration law that would help people come here the right way. the way millions of others have come to this country. and they don't want a total disregard for our laws. that in part was the message the president took to capitol hill yesterday in that spirited exchange with fellow republicans. who now have the unenviable task of trying to manage an overhaul that the president will ultimately sign all while doing so under the white ho hot spotlight of international scrutiny. yesterday the president told small business leaders he is ready to act but only if the bill leads to an orderly solution to the problem. >> president trump: we don't want people pouring into our country. we want them to come in

+++ >> bill: good morning. >> f.b.i. agent peter strzok was on capitol hill answering questions for 11 hours the last 90 minutes in the classified section. he was giving a transcribed interview. there are the same penalties if you lie to lawmakers and congressional investigators. republicans remain convinced that bias were in the russia and email investigations. a lawyer advised strzok not to answer questions about an ongoing investigation. >> probably more times that they didn't want to talk about an john going investigation than i would find appropriate. >> it is not acceptable. it is not in statute. certainly not something that the american people would find acceptable and i certainly don't find it acceptable, either. >> throughout the 11-hour deposition yesterday we had the impromptu briefings from republicans and democrats. democrats believe the interviews and the requests for records are really an effort to taint the mueller russia investigations. >> basically what we have here, a republican spending quite a bit of time reinvestigating what the i.g. has already investigated. >> o

all things considered i'm peter we're discussing some real news. ok gentlemen change gears go back to patrick in plymouth there is whispers and talking rumors that we could possibly see a trump summit one on one in europe surrounding the meeting the annual meeting of the nato alliance here should the two meet patrick go. well. received logic would say no that would be the equivalent of an apocalypse for the resistance in the united states there could short circuit c.n.n. . and there would be a mass trauma they would need to what i always like rachel maddow you rachel maddow start being paid a half a million dollars for a program ok go ahead you go and. i go with that but i think on suicide more and spring the drought is is the advice i would give to the president because he's going off of a well if we're successful meeting with kim jong il in singapore and with this president there are no risks really internationally because you know anything he does going to be. attacked and put down by the opposition in the united states and but not but not by the international media so maybe there'

anticipated interview of anti-trump f.b.i. agent peter strzok. he is heading to the hill right now to face top lawmakers. i'm bill hemmer. >> sandra: back live and in person. >> bill: the blue looks good. >> sandra: i'm sandra smith. lawmakers from two house committees will finally get to hear from the man behind thousands and thousands of those anti-trump text messages when he speaks to them behind closed doors about one hour from now. strzok was one of the top agents on the clinton investigation and mueller probe before he was removed by the special counsel. >> bill: you have senator lindsey graham he wants to know if strzok's political bias prompted the investigatn of the trump's campaigns contacts with russia in the first place. >> how would you like this guy supervising a confidential informant against the trump campaign given his bias and given his dislike for president trump? he should be the last guy to go to court to get a warrant on anybody associated with the trump campaign. my question is, what role did they play in the russia investigation? >> bill: chief intelligence cor

. we also know that comey had drawn peter peter strzok started writing her exoneration in early may of 2016. that's a fact. they didn't interview her until july 2nd, 2016, and on july 5th dorothy exonerated her. we know they pulled the legal definition of gross negligence, they pulled it right out of the document, they pulled out one of their earlier writings and those that are in fact, foreign intelligence services had hacked into that bathroom closet. all a fact.

-driven story about a lack of liquidity. people are a little bit nervous. peter, what happened yesterday in the treasuries market? i mean, all of a sudden everybody was rushing to buy u.s. 10 years. where they covering shorts? what a freaking out because of brazil? is this the kind of a volatile move that we are likely to see again? i think this is the type of trade that we are likely to see in the coming months. what has happened is that brazil was clearly the catalyst. the market looked like it was very short for the usual reasons. the consensus is that you just -- u.s. treasury yields are going to. the market is positioning ahead supply.week's 3/10 trigger.really the since --een saying that it is basically a core component to our outlook this year, that riskier outset since- that it is -- riskier asset classes are going to --. we don't think that u.s. treasury yields will be able to sustain these -- this rising trajectory. we think that the second half of the year is really when that inflection in expectations of u.s. policy starts to turn around. guy: what did you think of

peter strzok. trump is not every going to become president, right, right snt peter strzok responds no we'll stop it. now the justice department previously provided text messages from that date, they included all the messages we now have september the we'll stop it text message. why didn't the justice department produce that to congress when we asked? >> mr. desantas i spoke with our inspector general yesterday and he said when he testified he didn't have a full opportunity to explain the technological details are pretty complicated but he assured me he had a long telephone conversation with mr. jordan after the hearing and explained it. he's much better position than i. what i can assure you. >> so let me ask this then. >> if i can explain sir. i want to show you and the american people. we are not withholding anything embarrassing. the message was not in the original material that inspector general. he found these messages. >> right. so you guys didn't find it, and he did. and so we are asking you to produce stuff. and obviously we are expecting good faith effort. you guys didn't fin

turning to agent peter strzok it is true that your report said your actions brought discredit. >> however it is also true that you did not find documentary or testimonial evidence directly connecting these political views with those instant messages with those decisions that you reviewed. >> so how could it be these two individuals that they say bad things about donald trump thing to me they would say that things about me i'm sure so how is that these these two individuals who are team provided political bias could have done what they did that then you say the ultimate decision made by the prosecutors were not tainted by political bias? >> how we got to our conclusions is by looking at all the records of those decisions that we looked at as well as fields in the decision and to go through those records the question was what that translated into actio action. >> other people were involved? so it wasn't just peter strzok who calls the shots on this investigation? >> surely to those decisions that we did pre-july separating out those events because the night of the one -- instant

with the text messages between fbi agent peter strzok, who was the number two in the counter intelligence division. he had a crossover role in the clinton email case and then also the russia case. and the messages he exchanged with fbi lawyer lisa page. what the ig report concludes is that these text messages really cast a cloud over the entire clinton case and raise questions about whether decisions were made for political reasons. prior to director's comey's statement in july the ig finds they didn't find and this is an important phrase documentary evidence of political bias. but, newly discovered texts last month and may changed that equation in october of 2016. and you'll recall october of 2016 is a pivotal month because that is when tens of thousands of clinton emails are found on the laptop of her aide, huma abedin that she shares with her husband, anthony weiner. the newly discovered texts, again is, between peter strzok and lisa page. and it was sent in august. august 8th of 2016. and it reads: page stated trump, not ever going to become president, right? right? and t

piece that you refer to which i frankly peter saw as twisted bordering on the doraine just for this reason if peter struck with singlehandedly out to keep donald trump from being president he knew everything about the counterintelligence investigation of donald trump he knew that don jr and the rest of the crew met with the russians in trump tower he knew the papadopoulos had met with you know they had bragged to the australian a baster about the dope the dirt on on hillary he knew about felix ater trying to get a trump tower moscow bill he knew that there was fake there with lies put out about about the trump tower meeting and yet he did nothing to disclose to the public that this counterintelligence investigation was going on before donald trump got elected and at the same time he encouraged. me to put out that letter that was so damaging ten days before the campaign was over that was struck still and so to me this note . and that for the poisonous tree is twisted it is prevert and as i said i think kind of duran to it speaks to how people want to kind of see ghosts you know donal

really important point here, because peter strzok is the one who has all of these texts that really show us firsthand what the feeling was about donald trump certainly from peter strzok and lisa page's position. i want to bring up this text which we've been talking about all week from the i.g. report. this text is first from lisa page, she's writing to peter strzok. trump's not going to become president, right? peter strzok answers no, no, he won't, we'll stop it. now, this is on august 8th of 2016. peter strzok was put in charge of the trump investigation. he was put in charge of it on july 31st, 2016. so nine days later, after he is put in charge, he writes we will stop it. what's your take on this? >> what that shows, it shows clear intent to run a very biased investigation and, look, i don't believe for a second that mr. strzok was just happily put in charge of this a week before. strzok and page and the rest of them all knew about this months in advance. they were wellware of what they were doing. they had opened this investigation, maybe not officially, but they were doing lot
