Pete started doing my hair because everybody else was tied up. Abby was it worth it . Pete well qwatt today. Abby i want to start with headlines. Attorney general Jeff Sessions has agreed to submit new testimony on monday on a socalled contact with russian officials during the election. That testimony will be in writing despite democrats best effort to make the attorney general appear in person. Sessions has been under fire for north disclosing a meeting that he had with the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. When asked during his confirmation hearing. He has already recused himself from any probe involving the Trump Campaign. And after years of vowing to repeal obamacare, republicans are finally ready to get it done. Two house committees set to voting on portions of the healthcare package as early as wednesday. The controversial legislation would likely be reworked multiple times before the senate is ready to vogt ton around april. Arnold schwarzenegger announcing he is terminating. Was that terrible . Pete that was good. Abby his relationship with the apprentice. As tha hasta la vista, baby. Abby action store is not blaming his performance for poor ratings but former host President Trump. Saying his continuing association with the show left a, quote, bad taste in viewers mouths. Also in this morning, just her luck a texas woman who gave up beer for lent winning online contest to have free beer delivered to her by clydesdales. Linda was stunned to find out that she won and watch the horse pull up with friends and family she even got ride around block. Cant drink the beer until easter. Ed heard her prayers. Do you think President Trump feels convinced indicated for donald trump going after Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Prayer Breakfast. Schwarzenegger went on twitter and said push back on the president. And now he is gone. Abby too much winning, pete. Its so exhausting. Pete already winning so much you just quit. Ed i think the democrats felt this week that turns were turning i that they minely had the president , his attorney general in heir sights, all about meetings with russian officials. How dare this administration sit down with the Russian Ambassador when nancy pelosi and all these other democrats, Chuck Schumer said we havent had meetings with the Russian Ambassador. We dont do this kind of thing. This is serious stuff, pete. Pete very right. Very successful state of the union address. Democrats went on the offensive pointing out socalled accusations against the attorney general. Turns out a lot of people end up meeting with the russians. Abby of course President Trump jumps all over this one on twitter hes normally does. He tweeted this one we should start immediate investigation into senator Chuck Schumer and his ties to putin. A total hypocrite. Ed look at the doughnut. At a new york deli i assume years ago. Pete looking at the photo they look pretty cozy. Are they just friends or are they conspiring . You just dont have coffee and donuts with anybody. Abby you dont ask me to get coffee and donuts. Ed you did say you are buying coffee today. Abby i applebying coffee today. Nancy pelosi as well not just Chuck Schumer. Ed this is outrageous how could they have have all these meetings with the Russian Ambassador . They asked if she had a meeting with a Russian Ambassador and she said, no, no. This is what she said. You have been in congress a little bit and in leadership. Have you ever met with the Russian Ambassador . Not with this Russian Ambassador, no. Is there anything wrong, is it normal to meet with ambassadors . Help us understand. Can we replay that . Pause like have i . Have i . What about this ambassador . No, i have never met oh, wait, actually she did. And thats why the president tweeted a second time. Not just that Chuck Schumer but this picture with nancy pelosi and the current Russian Ambassador. I hereby demand the president said a second investigation after Chuck Schumer. Of pelosi for her close ties to russia and lying about it. Pete i love i here by demand. Total hypocrite on Chuck Schumer. Simply pointing out the double standard that exist. Folk he is meet with ambassadors all the time just like my people did, you are making it a conspiracy, what about them . Abby this is exactly why the president tweets. He has to to get out his side of the story. This is a huge part of this whole debate thats going on. I think its to the point now where democrats are looking a little bit maybe a lot a bit desperate. For losing the campaign. Desperate they are so quick to jump the gun. This all broke a couple days with ago with Jeff Sessions. We ultimately didnt know what would come on it. They jumped on so quickly he needs to resign and get out of office. Ed that was really ridiculous. Not just recuse. It was a reasonable request. Jeff sessions ended up doing it of course, was i a big part of the campaign. First senator to endorse donald trump. I should not be the person overseeing this big investigation. So he steps aside there but the idea that he is going to resign after a couple of weeks on the job because, remember, democrats were also dragging their feet on even left Jeff Sessions be confirmed. So here we are at this point. Look, i think the stakes are still enormous for this administration. Abby sure. Ed lets not forget about Michael Flynn gone because he lied to the Vice President. Pete thats why they jumped on it there have been some legitimate questions or no facts or no details or no collaboration of anything thats ever habsd between the russians and the campaign. These meetings, these happen all the time. Ed as we now see. Pete a list of bunch of democrats that met with the Russian Ambassador. Ed as was pelosi. It was Clair Mccaskill remember the senator from missouri who went on twitter i vent met with that ambassador. Here is a list of democratic lawmakers who met with the same investigator. Clair mccaskill there were photos. She ended up tweeghts with 140 characters i couldnt fully explain the story. So why did you even get involved . Abby keeps Getting Better and better. Ed same current Russian Ambassador was in the Obama White House meeting with various officials more than 222 times. Pete in the white house log. Ed we should point out that doesnt prove there was corruption with the Russian Ambassador just means the ambassador is an ambassador. Doing his job. Diplomatic relations is he reaching out. Abby exclusive last night with our own bret baier special report. He said the same thing. Watch this. We meet with ambassadors constantly as members of congress. Thats their job is to come and to meet with members of congress and express their interests, their experience, especially with people on Foreign Policy committees Like Foreign Service committee or Foreign Relations committee. Pete a let of explaining and hey this is what goes on in washington, d. C. With republicans and democrats. Whats amazing to watch is the coverage of this. The breathlessness with which the media grabs a headline and makes accusations and. Abby the banner you see at the bottom of your screen there usual you give people a sense what people are talking about when the sound is on silent. I flipped to other scandals is should session resign . Will he resign . So muchbreak breaking news and as we always say it feels like out world is coming to an end. Huge ordeal now we are he has recused himself from the investigation with the Trump Campaign. Ed you had exclusive with showers when all of this was breaking. Look at all of the coverage pete mentioned 73. 32 in terms of cbs, abc, nbc coverage of meeting with the Russian Ambassador and 10 minute 38 seconds of the former holder being held in contempt of congress. He was actually held in contempt of congress. Pete Holding Information from Congress Fast and furious. 10 minutes compared to 72 over one revelation of two meetings one arranged by the Obama Administration as well. It reconfirms what everyone out there knows that there is a witchhunt going on against this Trump Administration. There has been an attempt from day one, feels like orchestrated by the Obama White House and continues to be at some level whether its directed at the top or not because they want to discredit him at every turn. Russia feels like advantageou advantageous. Ed russia to Rush Limbaugh who has been all over this. Watch. Were watching a silent koop that wasigh couldthat was. That what is happening here is a full fledged effort here to deny donald trump the actual control of the government by leaving so many obama career people appointed. By going so slowly on confirming trumps cabinet appointee. Im telling you, if you want to find out who is you working together to sabotage the United States. You find the link between barack obama, Vladimir Putin and the russian government. Thats the story. Ed dont forget it was he is barack obama in 2012 who said medvedev Prime Minister putin at the time if i get reelected in november 2012 barack obama said it was caught on a hot mike i will have more flexibility. Please transmit this message. Abby talk about the amount of media time that would be spent on that moment. Pete take 72 minutes and make it the whole news hours. Ed only thing cowrnghts to Rush Limbaugh right there is this being orchestrated by barack obama officials stirring this up and doing the leaking . However the Trump Administration has been pouring some gasoline on the fire when you have someone like mike flynn not telling the truth to the havent of the United States. He should have told the whole truth to the Vice President. Pete gotcha, gotcha, gotcha on bread crumbs that prove nothing. Abby we have four hours to discuss this. Pete attorney general Jeff Sessions meet with the Russian Ambassador. The fact that the attorney general, the top cop in our country lied under oath to the American People is grounds for him to resign. Pete as we discussed if nancy pelosi be so angry if she knew that meeting was set up by the Obama Administration . Because it was. Abby what grade would White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer give himself an one month on the job . Ed another shocking Hillary Clinton coincidence caught on camera. The picture that she will probably claim was not staged. Thats ahead. Im going to getcha one way or another im gonna win you im going to getcha, getcha, getcha one way or another im going to see you im going to meet my hygienist said to think of my teeth like an apple. They have to be great on the inside and outside. To strengthen both, she said to go pro. Go pro with crest prohealth advanced. It strengthens. Teeth inside, and is better at strengthening the. Outside than colgate total. Best checkup ever. Pete democrats going crazy after news broke that attorney general Jeff Sessions met with the Russian Ambassador. The fact that the attorney general, the top cop in our country lied under oath to the American People is grounds for him to resign. For the good of the country, attorney general sessions should resign. I think he should resign. He certainly should recuse himself. I think he probably should resign. I think he has got to go. I think resignation could well be on the table here. I think he should resign. I think he should get out. Pete talking points had well been distributed. Turns out Obama Department set up the meeting between the sessions and the Russian Ambassador last year. Ed turns out when you start digging a little bit more its not as clear cut as first thought. Thats right. Look, the state department they arrange these trips to Republican National convention and Democratic National convention. They brought various ambassadors to show them the american electoral process. In that meeting, its the rnc in cleveland over the summer, there was the Russian Ambassador, this guy kislyak and then senator Jeff Sessions. Sessions, it seems, spoke to the group and after of afterwards they said hello after the remarks. It appears the first meeting arranged by the state department and, you know, its a little bit strange. Ed we dont know if they said goodbye. Thats right. Pete all these senators come out and call for resignation. The second meeting did occur on the hill with senator sessions between him and the Russian Ambassador. Why this outrage . Is it amnesia . Hey we can get him because he is party of the Trump Campaign . What are those. It isnt any of those. I think sessions should answer some questions. There are very serious questions that are being raised and some should be answered. This calling for his resignation immediately. Its smelling blood in the water. Political expediency. Trying to further the democratic agenda. Thats why its so partisan. Nancy pelosi is not so concerned about lying. She herself lied as this showed about her own meeting with this ambassador. Ed we established that both sides have met with the ambassador as both sides in washington do all the time. Pete ed even met with the ambassador. Come on. Ed meetings are not the points. We have 45 seconds. What would be the there there where the Trump Administration would have to worry . Would it be that on these intercepts that we have heard about previously reported promises were made about lifting sanctions that there is some quo there to the quid pro quo . Yeah. Look, there is a lot of questions about well, for sessions himself he has two things. One is he did Tell Congress that he didnt meet with russian officials and clearly he did. So there is some there is some discrepancy which he does need to clear you were and apparently he will on monday. So thats one issue. Separately, there are all these meetings between the Trump Campaign and russian officials which everybody is denying and all of a sudden are creeping up. One of them by themselves not such a big deal. This sessions meeting not a big deal. But in cumulatively all these put together it does and while the russians were apparently interfering in this elections, it dose raise questions about what was happening. I think thats what congress is focusing some people in congress are focused on while some are obviously using it for political expediency. Pete indeed. Daniel halper, thank you. Thank you. Pete remember when entrepreneurship said this. New requirement for american pipelines to be made with American Steel and fabricated in the United States. Pete turns out that may have been a pipe dream. The big announcement ahead. Ed this dreamer was arrested after her press Conference Announcing she was an illegal. Wait until you hear what she is trying to do now. Pete Public School district canceling to let all the students march in a day without women strike. One outraged parent next.
