Advertising. David im even wearing the red melissa could the print that says reality check be any bigger . David it could be. I have a giant beer stein coming next. Melissa [laughs] lets get to it. I love it. All right, former fbi chief james comey appearing at a cnn town hall last night two years after President Trump fired him. He is saying that he believes Robert Muellers findings would have resulted in obstruction charges if President Trump were not in office. Watch this. Do you think you should be charged when hes out of office . Based on what mueller has shown. I think the Justice Department will have to take a serious look at that. Whether its a wise thing to do to a former president , i dont know. Thats a harder and much bigger question than the facts of the case. But you think the evidence is there to prosecute . It sure looks like it, with respect to the episodes of obstruction. Melissa President Trump heading back on twitter, saying, james comey is a disgrace of the fbi and will go down as the worst director in its long and onceproud history. He brought the fbi down. Almost all republicans and democrats i should be fired but the fbi will regain greatness because of the great men and women who work there , he also says he does not believe that general michael horowitzs investigation will fight any wrongdoing by him or if its at the fbi. The president in a recent interview with our own Catherine Herridge slamming officials over what he says was biased against them. I think but they should be focusing on is how this mess started. How did this whole investigation start . I think it is corrupt as hell and i think whats happened between comey and mccabe and brennan and all of these people, and it strzok and his lover, lisa page, this tremendous thing that people want to find out. And they really want to find out. And i hope they are going to. Melissa he appears to have no regrets about how the russia probe was launched. Listen. Are you confident you did everything by the book and the fbi, the people around you, did everything by the book . Yes. No doubt in my mind, but that doesnt mean im against review of it. Thats totally fine. So you think they will find nothing inappropriate . At least not that i know of. If they do, they do. They should be transparent about it. Melissa i dont know, that seems like a little head to there at least not that i know of. No bank robbery has happened, at least i know of. Thats a good qualifier. What you think, david . David comey has to set the stage for what happens because its not just him, but the Inspector Generals report will open up a can of worms on lisa strzok page, rather. Peter strzok. We mix them up, they were lovers. According to the president , bruce and nellie ohr who nobody has paid attention to, the ties to fusion gps, and the fisa warrant page one which comey signed off on. Thats what hes got to be worried. Melissa dagen, blockbuster article in the hill talking about this memo that went out from the Deputy Assistant secretary of state who said she had sat down with him and found im not credible. He had all kinds of crazy facts, he talked about the russian consulate in miami where the police they were organizing out of. No place like that exists. He had some basic checkable facts, where things are wrong. She sent a memo saying, do not trust this guy, before the dossier was used as a fisa warrant. For the very first time. Then they signed off on it. The report has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings. That is Christopher Steele. And they are unaware of any derogatory information relating to their informant. Thus the important part. They were aware of derogatory information. They have the own Deputy Assistant secretary of state sing his life. Dagen lets be clear about this, this is a warrant to spy on a member of the president ial campaign using a document that was unverified. And we know its largely discredited. It was paid for by the said president ial candidates opponent. And jim comey had the gall and the nerve and the stupidity to say that he didnt know the Clinton Campaign and the dnc paid for it . He said he only found that out through the media. Roast most recently he told brer that when his book came out. In the rules, the fbi cited news reports, that u. S. Intelligence officials were investigating allegations similar to the Christopher Steele ones. It turned out that Christopher Steele admitted in u. K. Proceedings in the spring of 2017 that he had briefed the report, that he had essentially planted the very story that they were using to assert steeles credibility. There is so much wrong with this. I dont know why jim comey stayed on a cfa director. Even the wall street journal editorial page warrant the president , do not keep them on. Hes a sanctimonious spotlightseeking individual who abuses his power. Be when he actually told bret baier he still doesnt know if the dnc paid for it. I still dont know that for sure. Hes covering himself because he wouldve had to go back and update the fisa warrant, we learned, to say they know it comes from the dnc or from opposition research. In a lot of ways he was covering himself. Hes also covering himself by trashing rod rosenstein. Listen to this and i will get both your reactions. I think people like that, like rod rosenstein, people of accomplishment but not real sterling character, strong character, they find themselves trapped. They start to make little compromises to stay on the team, echo his words, use the term spying, talk about pollution, or just be silent, thinking, thats what i need to do to survive. In the process, he has eaten their soul. David [laughs] you want he munches on moral fiber every morning for breakfast, comey. Lisa this is the guy the Inspector General said was insubordinate and flouted protocols while he was at the helm of the fbi. We also know this is a guy who wrote the exoneration, drafted the exoneration letter about Hillary Clinton before finishing the investigation into her. Yet, he used false information, information me and it was false. Potentially russian disinformation, to obtain a fisa warrant against a Trump Campaign official. If you look at that juxtaposition, it tells you everything you need to know about comey. What im interested in learning and im hoping the Inspector General gets to the bottom of this this much the russia investigation, how much of the basis was based on the dossier. Thats what i want to know. Ive mentioned this before on the show, that the fbi says the investigation was launched because of papadopoulos, his conversation with donner, but we know they had previously talked to Christopher Steele prior to launching the investigation. Thats what i really want to know. I also want to know at what point these investigators knew that there was no there there with the dossier. And why they continued with the investigation. Melissa and mccabe testified they couldnt have gotten the fisa warrant without the dossier. Thats what he testified before. Kennedy there was no way. The moscow station chief, the cia moscow station chief who works for the United States government, he said he knew that the dossier was garbage. That it was essentially baseless. Bob would emerge, for two years, had been screaming that Christopher Steele was questionable. But so was the dossier. There are a couple of questions i have. Number one, james comey was in charge of the fbi. The letter i stands for the investigation and he couldnt do basic investigatory work. In terms of the dossier is, find out who were the people involved. Who did steele talk to . Steele was working with the fbi paid that gets glossed over when we talk about this. What was his relationship with the fbi customer quote was he paid . What other projects was he working on . Obviously james comey knows about that. I know he is trying to kind of temper everything and seem like the good guy, but his excuses are wearing very thin, and Christopher Wray better be careful. I dont know that he has change the culture enough in order to reinstill that trust that America Needs to have in this top Law Enforcement organization. The other thing, comey, not a cop. Law enforcement officers hate it when melissa has referred to as a cop. He does not have a Law Enforcement background. He was never a police officer. Dagen but it was his background of the Justice Department. The wall street journal wrote an editorial in president obama picked them to run the fbi in 2013. Going through his prosecutorial abuses. Whether it was for an courtroom, or stephen hatfield, the falselyaccused individual. The anesthetic anthrax mill at. The guy how much more attention does he need . Will he go on naked and afraid or Celebrity Big Brother . Speed when i think he will run to office, if i have to bet. Its october 21st 21st 2016 toe fisa judges that the reporting had been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings before. He was determined reliable by the fbi. Even after he had been fired. Kennedy but the use that circular reasoning with the Michael Messick off reportings. That steele had planted with him. And steele is like, yep, see . [laughter] dagen is the Inspector General looking at that . Melissa he helped founded facebook as Mark Zuckerbergs start down my College Roommate but he says the Company Needs to be broken up. By the cofounder is speaking up now, as facebook fights back. Plus, the crisis at the border, more urgent needs from the border chief. Will congress act . Our lawmakers listening .

This humanitarian mission is having a negative impact on our National Security. As im happy to pull my men and women away from a 40 of the time is being spent dealing with taking care of these families, processing the families. We need a lot more resources across the board. We need a fix to this. Border patrol cant do this alone. I need congress to act. Kennedy she is absolutely right. Thats carla provost, the Border Patrol chief. Leading for congress to act in this surge of migrants of the border. It is the highest in more than a decade. This, as ice has already released 168,000 migrant family members into the u. S. This fiscal year. A Pilot Program showing a staggering 80 of them skipping their court dates. The number of arrivals likely to keep spiking as the border situation deteriorates. Border chief provost also citing thousands of cases of fraud this year, seeing it sad that migrants are exploiting children to get across the board because family units get released into the u. S. Meanwhile, customs and Border Protection commissioner beating the drum for more funding earlier today. Watch. Right now the emergency supplemental that was put forth some of the four and half billion dollars, is a top priority. We have invested in soft sided facilities to augment the facilities that were outdated. Transportation, sustenance for the migrants in our care, moving nearly 1,000 agents and officers throughout the seven border. We need funding to address all those needs. Kennedy this is a tough thing to do under good circumstances, but this is really overwhelming some of those agencies. They made the public plea. They are trying to treat these family members as humanely as possible. What can you do when you have people like aoc saying, not one more dime for this is administration . There has to be disconnect between how you feel about the president and helping people at the border who are in need. David there isnt a disconnect for the democrats and the open borders card. To be there till mike fair, those in the Republican Party want the open borders for a variety of reasons. Kennedy i wanted them, by the way. Im not a republican, but im differently for human beings deciding where they want to go and when. David well, great. Except i have one question for all of the people who want this to be open. Make the economic argument for ilLegal Immigration when it comes to wage suppression, when it comes to supplanting labor in communities, especially at the lower rungs of the income ladder. Make the argument for resources being used, for multiple languages, for medical, for all of this. Not at the border, not at detention centers, but in communities around america. We do think those 148,000 people go . Kennedy the term used was illegal. But it what if you have Legal Immigration . Thats where congress has to act. We have to decide how many people we are willing to allow them to the and what we expect of people who are coming here. Melissa i will make the economic argument. You talk about more people coming in, we have more consumers, more workers, a bigger economy. The problem is they have to be texas. The larger problem is we cant have open borders and the liberal social welfare system. We either have to slam the doors and then we can give out everything, we open the border and we have to stop giving away the store. One thing i hadnt heard before, we had rodney scott, the san diego chief patrol agent. The Border Patrol agent. He said that right now only 6 of the people across are claiming asylum. Because they dont need to any longer with his argument. That they were coming in with children and recycling the children. David the renterakid program. Dagen he said a lot of the problem all my children are being abandoned once had been across twice. Just left there. David he found an 8yearold or something wandering with a number on his sneaker. He really realize what this crisis is . Lisa we do need more funding, but thats not the solution. Thats only going to deal with the problems that we are currently facing. You have to stop the stem and the flow. That is going to create that needs congressional action, not just money. Kennedy what can congress do, specifically . Lisa for instance, the floras decree. Which limits amount of time they can be detained together. Remember, President Trump faced a lot of criticism over the family separation. The bow Washington Post reported in the three months after that, there were dramatic increases the family units crossing the border. An 80 increase in families crossing the border because the system is being gamed. We know this even with the recent report of a guatemalan man indicted by a federal court for human trafficking. What he did was he paid a family, 130 to rent his son. He told them the reason he did so scared its easier to cross the border if youre part of a family unit. We also know that according to recent Pilot Programs 87 of released families were not able to track them down. They are not showing up for the court date. Kennedy let me take issue with that, because my feeling is if you want to come to this country, show up for court. If you want to be part of the system, i dont have a problem with that at all. You are right about the entitlement state. We have to shrink it. We cant have a conversation while we are talking about a 32 trillion medicare for all program over ten years. You have to shrink entitlements in this country because not everyone who lives on the planet is entitled to what we have. David where you are idea fails is that when you get to the states that decide they are going to give state benefits to the illegals and fight the federal government, it doesnt matter. Because the incentive is still there to come here by an
