Anything that will keep you from running again. Heres to you, hillary. I guess on your first day here you get what you want. Thats how you welcome to the couch. Lisa official leland vittert. Pete thanks for being here. Leland thanks for being here. Lisa i was surprised i was allowed through security. Pete you are on a list not the worst list. Its a watch list. Leland not the no fly list yet. Lisa they didnt recognize me in the morning. Pete we are glad you are here. Brian, steve, and ainsley get al welldeserved vacation this week. The jv team. Were the selfdeclared jv team. We are here to inform you, entertain you and we are glad are here on fox friends. Lisa i guess there is other stuff going on. Pete a little bit of news this morning. Leland big news. Pete bob mueller looking into socalled russian connections. Its actually not new at all. Its been going on an entire year that probably hasnt caught your eye but it caught ours this morning because of a headline in u. S. A. Today. Take a look at this, this is a headline in u. S. A. Today. It says the quiet probe into clinton email investigation could be a land mine for bob mueller. This is an investigation thats been going on since january. It was actually started during the transition before President Trump was National Guard unitegnawinginaugurated. They are looking into the investigation. They talked to Loretta Lynch and james comey and very exhaustive over the course of a year. The relate is, there is a lot of folks, especially within the fbi and doj who are concerned about what this report will reveal it looks at whether or not Hillary Clinton got special treatment during the campaign into how he handled her email and private server. Lisa whats important about this article he was the one to unearthed the Text Messages between peter strzok and page. He isnt afraid to mix it up. He is the one that recommended big changes with the atf after the bosmed fast and furious operation. He also is the one who went after the dea caught up in the prostitution scandal in colombia prostitutes paid for by drug cartels there. He has not been afraid to go after the federal government. He has not been afraid to shine that light and get some clarity there. So its going to be really interesting to see what he does here and what he unearths. Leland dare we say we have finally found perhaps, even, an honest man in washington. Thats where representative francis rouhani one of the very few i would say one of the finest and honest men in washington. Here is what he had to say. I would like to see the directors of those agencies purge it. Look we have a lot of great agents and lawyers here. Those are the people that i want the American People to see and know the good works being done. Not the people who are the deep state. Language like that, congressman, purge . Purge the department of justice . Well, i think that mr. Strzok could be purged. Referring to the fbi agent with all of his Text Messages insurance policy against Hillary Clinton. You noticed that nbc anchor when she came back, the best she could do is take issue with his language. Not with his facts. Lisa isnt that the broader problem here is the fact that the media is not concerned. Can you imagine going back to august, 2016 . If we had found out and media had found out that these fbi agents had Text Messages about insurance policy against Hillary Clinton as opposed to donald trump we would not live this down. Remember how big deal they they made. A drop in the bucket. Acting like that swayed the election is insane. They ran that story as if that was a game changer for the election. Can you imagine how they would cover this if it was over Hillary Clinton instead of President Trump . Pete you talk about stories game changer russia story you turn on any other channel on this island you would be russia, russia, russia, almost all morning long. Led some to believe maybe that overinflates the influence russia has had. Samantha, a National Security analyst over at which the president calls very fake news, had a different take on how you take russia. Take a listen. A key part of the fair and transparent Legal Process that defines our democracy. So every time the president tweets against the fbi or tweets against the department of justice, he is making the russians job much easier. Pete tweets is he helping russia. Everything influences our democracy they are not overinflating russia. Leland who could probably be upset about helping russia . Wasnt it Hillary Clinton who had the reset button for russia back in 2004. Her boss said i will have a lot more flexibility after the 2012 election . Pete they are also the folks that wasnt it barack obama that said to mitt romney the 1980s called they want their Foreign Policy back . They have a very conflicted view of russia. Now that they think russia, they believe they conspire that russia colluded with the president to win the election, now russia is involved with everything. Lisa moving on with Hillary Clinton. So there is this vanity fair or video that shows staffer staffers. Pete please, will the book tour continue. Lisa sham page smugly suggesting to new years resolutions she should perhaps invest in. So take a look. Time to start working on your sequel to your book what happened. What the hell happened. Get someone on your tech staff to disable auto fill on your iphone so typing an f doesnt become Form Exploratory Committee in 2020. Take up a new hobby in the new year. Volunteer work, knitting, improv comedy. Anything that would keep from you running again. Finally put away your james comey voodoo doll. We know you think james comey caused you to lose the a election. Move on. Cheers to you, Hillary Clinton. Cheers to you, hillary. Pete so its clear these are former Hillary Clinton for president staffers, giving a toast to their former candidate. Not as friendly you might expect. I think it was mark twain who said that humor is the good natured side of truth. It wouldnt be funny if anybody wasnt sort of thinking gee, maybe we want to keep her from thinking about doing this again. Lisa how about we ask you to send you guys at home to send us what your new yearens resolutions are for Hillary Clinton. Keep them coming. Pete email friends foxnews. Com. Let us know. What would your resolution be . If you were to held a flute of champagne and toast Hillary Clinton what would you be talking about another item that caught our attention this morning a tree at the white house. Lisa big beautiful tree. Leland you see it when President Trump walks out from the southport sout from the portica. Park service ordered the removal of that 200yearold tree because it was dying. Ordered the grounds keeper to remove it to keep the lawn immaculate. Newsweek order Melania Trump ordering the removal iconic white house tree to be cut down. This there is another way to look at this. Imagine if Melania Trump saves tree that then falls over and wipes out White House Press corps. Pete thats where the White House Press corps stands so she is actually doing them a favor. Lisa if you read those headlines they are making it seem like Melania Trump was Walking Around cut that one down, that one. This is as ridiculous as it gets with she was going to Hurricane Harvey to go meet with the victims and check out the damage and she had a change of shoes. She was wearing shoes simply to the plane and then changed shoes when she got there. There is this uproar but b. How it was distasteful to be in high heels. News flash, ask any woman in america and jillian as well who we will talk to in a second, ask anyone across the country we all bring a change of shoes. These are props. I wear flats every day of my life. I dont wear heels. The coverage is insane and biased and unfair. Pete removing a tree. It was planted by Andrew Jackson. 200 years old. A lot of history. The upkeep has been terrible on it they poured cement into it they did terrible things over the years. Its going to die, have to take it down. Leland seedlings something from this tree. And actually try to replant it. Pete they will do something thoughtful, leland . So they are cutting it down and adding to our Carbon Footprint. Leland melania doesnt get credit. National park service. Lisa now, to jillian mele for todays news. Jillian i dont know. I wear heels every second of every day. Leland even on the golf course.

Leland here to explain director of defense studies at the center for National Interest harry. Good to see you. What do you make of this . Probably nothing good. Well, i guess when it comes to north korea im pretty much out of shock these days. There is nothing that the hermit kingdom does that surprises me anymore. The interesting thing about this, there is only a few ways that this soldier could have gotten anthrax antibodies in his system. One possibility if he worked on a farm it would be rare but if he came in contact with an animal that had anthrax thats possible how he might have got the antibodies. He could had been immunized against anthrax. That doesnt make sense because the United States or south korea doesnt have anthrax weapons. Those have been banned since the 1970s. The other possibility which i think is much more intrigue something that he was maybe somehow part of the north korean biological Weapons Program. Could have become accidently infected. There is just a lot of mystery in this that we just dont know. Pete harry, the south Korean Military has yet. They dont have anthrax vac senile. I mean, if you look at it at its face, could they not be involved in biological warfare, you know, making sure their folks are not infected by it and they could use it potentially in a conflict. This is the real scary thing. We have spent really months and years talking about north Koreas Nuclear weapons. We dont talk that much about north koreas other weapons of mass destruction. We have to remember the north koreans have potentially as much as 5,000 tons of chemical weapons. We are pretty sure they have a biological Weapons Program. Actually on monday the National Security strategy came out. Pretty much said that north korea had a best of my biologicl Weapons Program it sort of took the facade off that as if it hadnt existed. It seems like a very real thing at this point. In a war, when you put all these of those things together, millions of people could die. Its very scary. Leland they already have the Delivery Systems for certainly for the chemical weapons. The saharan gas. All those artillery shells just on the other side the north side of the dmz to rain down on seoul. What about the u. S. Troops in south korea . There are families there as well. Millions of american expats there. Any protection they have either against the chemical threat or the biological threat . You know, not much to be honest with you. We have different suits that our military can put on to protect themselves. They get very hot, very sticky. You cant have them on for a long period of time. This is really a challenge that, you know, i think we keep forgetting about. Even if one of these warheads armed with anthrax land in seoul. Thats 25 Million People head for the exits. It would be a terrifying problem. Really scary. Pete were going to talk later on in the program about this threat from north korea. Is this part of the reason why dealing with rogue regime and Nuclear Capability is so difficult that the multitude of scenarios are terrible. You look at the nuclear threat. You look at the biological and chemical. What that could do to populations. If you are factoring that in to whether or not you are taking on the regime. Makes it very complicated. This is why when this comes to military options, north korea is the land of lousy options. I really feel bad for President Trump because he has inherited a problem where there is no quick and easy solution. Back in 013 i did a war game where we assumed in 2020 that north korea had icbms that could hit the west coast of the United States. That war game 8 Million People died. This is how bad this problem can get. And i think its great to see that the president has really embraced a containment strategy. Our best option is to use what i call the python strategy. Strangulate the north korean economy. This way they cant keep building more of these weapons. Pete no good options. Harry, thanks for joining us this morning. Thank you. Pete pop quiz what do gandhi and new york city super liberal mayor bill de blasio have in common . Everything. Just ask bill. Leland and he put a new twist on a garth brooks hit with friends in safe spaces. But evidently not everybody is laughing. Pete thought it was funny. Not everybody else.
