I know you are an optimistic man and ive known you for a long time. what is your biggest concern today, larry? >> my biggest concern frankly is that these pro-growth policies might be overturned and so many people in the opposition want to poison the well and poison the atmosphere. i dont think thats going to happen and why president trumps state of the union was so strong. we arent going to go to socialism. his speech in el paso. you have to fight fire with fire. my view, you know, socialism is...

Its an anecdote. it doesnt mean that everything that andy mccabe has put in this book, everything that he says is not true. of course it doesnt mean that. but as we evaluate somebodys statements as we evaluate their assertions, something that you do on this program every single morning, we just have to keep in mind that there is an inspector general report that says that this person lacked candor and did refer that for a criminal prosecution. so just things to keep in mind as we value and assess...

Weve gotten the e-mails of herding cows and getting a new house and no more airplanes and youll see republicans do this over and over again and basic le make big, bold assertions about what this big, bold plan would do and you will have democrats make nuanced comments and have a nuanced conversation about it and thats what this is for when you have a president who does have to basically deal in no new nuance and an idea that people can grab on to and ridicule this plan. >> its an example where t...

Democrats. >> now, in your capacity as acting attorney general, have you ever been asked to approve any request or action to be taken by the special counsel? >> mr. chairman, i see that your five minutes is up and so i am -- i am here voluntarily. we have agreed to five-minute rounds. >> as you can see, the judiciary committee hearing with the acting ag matt whitaker was contentious. a sure sign of things to come. tuesday alone in the week ahead there will be eight oversight hearings in the hous...

About to see is extremely graphic. tyson claimed, "as i cried and gagged, mr. fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him. i cannot believe given my obvious distress that mr. fairfax thought this forced sexual act was consensual. mr. fairfax tried to brand me as a liar to a national audience in service to his political ambitions and threatened litigation and has given false assertions. im compelled to make clear what happened." joining me with the reaction are fox news contributors rachel, sara...

To testing the evidence thats presented by the special counsel and whatever proceeding is available just like you like to test peoples assertions on your show. >> i have a question about what you just said, but do you agree that whatever that special counsel puts out should be delivered to the american people in the majority of substance? >> i do, chris. im a transparency guy. and frankly i think its silly to suggest that this wouldnt be leaked anyway. most of the information -- >> we dont want ...

Special treatment. its part of washington. its an ugly part of washington and i think that we look forward to testing the evidence thats presented by the special counsel and whatever proceeding is available just like you like to test peoples assertions on your show. >> i have a question about what you just said, but do you agree that whatever that special counsel puts out should be delivered to the american people in the majority of substance? >> i do, chris. im a transparency guy. and frankly i...

Your iteration of the departments longstanding policy appears to delay answering these questions as long as possible. i find that unacceptable. i understand the role of executive privilege and respect its value in our system of governance. however, congress is a co-equal branch of government and responsibility to conduct oversight. this is a responsibility we take very seriously. i have repeatedly tried to work with your office first in delaying the hearing until february and then in providing y...
