political hurricane. ben shapiro, editor-in-chief of the daily wire.com and richard fowler, nationally syndicated radio host and fox news contributor. gentlemen, i hope you are hunkered down because this is big, big, big. ben, what you make all of that? everybody sounds like a used car salesman trying to hawk an old chevy. wow. the level of outrage over something that we don t even know what happened yet. i am confused as to what flynn did that was supposed to be the worst thing that happened since the bill biblical plagues thomas friedman and dan rather, the godfather of modern media fake news, talking about how this is the greatest prices we have seen in modern political history, again, what happened? should be know what happened before we freak out and lose our minds? martha: an excellent question, richard, when you dig into the new york times piece, which started off declaring that there had been so much contact between the trump campaign and russia that it was just so dramat
anxiety. bill: i think i would like to know what i want to why don t they do this? bill: there are unintended consequences of every action, as you know. if you wanted to make an enemy out of general flynn, which president trump obviously doesn t want to do, you hang him. all right? you make an enemy out of him. he has fired him. that is a pretty serious matter. indeed, it is. bill: i am agreeing you. he said nice things about him today. he doesn t seem to want to alienate him or make him what they call a scapegoat. then, flynn would have to defend himself, then, flynn can come back and say so and so told me to do this. if he comes it becomes a real mess. i m not saying they shouldn t. you don t think it s a mess now? bill: last word. okay, the white house counsel could conduct an inquiry, look
a joint press conference with israeli product prime minister netanyahu. from intelligence play papers are being leaked, criminal acti, criminal acts. it has been going on for a long time, before me. now, it is really going on. people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss that the democrats had under hillary clinton. i think it is very, very unfair, what has happened to general flynn, the way he was treated bill: joining us not to react, geraldo rivera and eric bolling. bolling, president trump thinks what happened to general flynn was unfair, why did he ask for his resignation? he can think what was happening to general flynn was unfair. i do come too. bill: wait, wait, wait. if you are the president, you feel the general is a patriot, really served his country well, treated unfair, why do you boot him out? he said treated unfairly by the press.
bill: because he bit slide pence. do you believe that? bill: i think that is why. what did he did mislead him? bill: i don t know! if you misled vice president pence, it was about his human occasions with russia. ergo, whatever it was bill: pence was teed off. go ahead. 100% right. he was asked for his resignation because he said to pence, no, i didn t have any discussions with russia. not with the discussions were, what you think happened. no, pence said he spoke with flynn and he didn t speak with the russians. subsequently, nine separate sources said they did in fact talk. pence was out on the limb. he put the vice president on a limb. flynn needs to be fired for that reason not because of what we do or don t know the actual conversations. all we know, geraldo bill: the most recent all right, shut up now. gentlemen, thank you very much. directly ahead, lou dobbs, the
ideology overwhelm security for israel. when american jews go to the polls, or am i wrong? since the 1930s, since the onset of the new deal, jews have voted democrat, overwhelmingly so. prior to that, they voted overwhelmingly republican. a social justice impulse of jews caused them, the onset of the new deal to begin to vote democrat. now, they were comfortable doing that because for most of the last 80 years, democratic nominees for president, with the exception, perhaps, of george mcgovern, were reliably pro israel. the democratic party was a party of scoop jackson and john f. kennedy and hubert humphrey, great supporters of the state of israel. that change in a president obama, though, it hasn t shaped the conviction conviction bill: it was interesting because netanyahu made it clear that he thought president obama was not an enemy but not a friend of israel. he made it very clear.
