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.
Look. you lost the popular vote. you are having trouble drawing a crowd and your approval rating keeps thinking. but kicking thousands of my fellow veterans off their health insurance by killing the affordable care act and banning muslims won t help. that is not the america i sacrificed for. you want to be a legitimate president, sir? then, act like one. bill: okay, so, that is put out by a far left organization. nobody knows what that is. you see a guy who lost his leg in the service of his country, complaining about the presidents. what is the background of this organization? it is a progressive group that supports veterans. they have also done a lot for gay rights issues, labor issues, and this instance, it is a pretty powerful ad. they placed it on snl, they placed it on morning joe, and places that they feel president trump is watching to . they are talking out against what they see as cutting benefits, health care benefits, if obamacare goes
There with a jeopardy button, you know, asking them to hit it, now, every day, i wake up and they are completely hawkish. and i m worried about them vaporizing moscow like failsafe. you know something, billy, gave me a good idea when i was watching pelosi talk about this earlier this week. we should make pelosi s face the decal on the front of the unmanned drones. wouldn t that scare the living hell out of you coming down the pike? now, schumer has turned into donald s to graddy, you are history buff, from the nixon days. he is into the dirty tricks. he will do anything to screw this president. i watch the news every night. they say there is a peaceful protest, and i watch kids throwi the window of banks that i think, this is what is passing for peaceful right now? the only good thing about those protests i can tell you, bill, for the first time, a lot of those kids have a steady job. it is nice to see them out working that hard. before, they were home on the couch. now, you are histor
Transcripts of three conversations with three different world leaders, the prime minister of australia, mexico, russia, all leaked. we have had more than a half-dozen draft executive orders, including some of them dealing with highly classified things like terrorist interrogation leaked to the press. we ve learned that general mattis was considering interdicting an iranian ship. we learned that they are considering sending troops to syria, all classified information leaked to the press. we have the fact that one of general flynn s deputies was leaked to the press. and at in addition to the flynn information, leaks, classified information going to the press. when people say we are worried about donald trump creating an authoritarian state, i am worried about the authoritarian application of a national security apparatus going after people they don t like, who s policies they oppose by leaking classified information. martha: as a suggestion,
Free beacon reports that ben rhodes is the center of the iran deal and the benghazi terrorist attacks is the main driver of the leaks. there is no further comments from him tonight. writing on twitter earlier this week, he said, when campaign chairman and national security advisor both resigned over russia ties, there is more. paul manafort and flynn had nothing in common, except russia end of term. a government source confirmed that the fbi investigation does go beyond flynn. it also includes contacts between the trump campaign tweets and russian officials leading up to the election. we are told that the fbi does not see evidence that any laws were broken, martha. just be one that is one of the highlights. thank you very much. my next guest has big news can share to share concerning general michael flynn. utah congressman jason chaffetz. chairman of the house oversight committee. good to have you here this evening. a lot buzzing this evening about investigations. what can you tell u
Of course bill: why would you stand behind them? as trump said, or a spokesman spicer said, there was an eroding trust factor with general flynn. that was likely because a vice president pence. the process taking apart general fund because of his conversations with russia, which i don t think amount to a hill of beans. the new york times article was extensive. i read it three separate times, they alluded to accusations of a possible fbi involvement. bill: the new york times doesn t know, you don t know, rivera doesn t know, i don t know he has been excoriated in the press. these two things aren t mutually exclusive. bill: i don t know if if he is being treated unfairly, and you were the president, rivera, oh, my god, i would be and less of a jump in our front president trump is right now. number one if you did not complain about hacks and leaks
