Campaign. My question from senator franken was as correct as i understood it at the time. I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump Campaign. Kimberly this stems from a question secretary sessions was asked at his confirmation hearings in january. If theres any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of the campaign, what will you do . Ive been called a surrogate a time or two in the campaign and i did not have communications with the russians. Im unable to comment. Kimberly President Trump stood by his attorney general today. Mr. President , do you still have confidence in the attorney general . Total. Should sessions recuse himself . I dont think so at all. When were you aware that he spoke to the Russian Ambassador . I wasnt aware at all kimberly we like the outfit. Dana i liked the president in that jacket, in this setting. He had a really good speech. Its always awkward when the presses shouting questions at you. Especially when it has to do with the attorney general and they keep following you. He says he has total confidence. Its interesting to watch a new cycle like today unfold. This morning it was oh, my gosh. Theres an earthquake in washington. Around 2 00, i asked bret baier about him recusing himself. Its not an admission of wrongdoing. If anyone is concerned if it even looks improper to anybody, fine. Okay, i will recuse myself and let the investigation go forward. By 4 00 today, thats what happened. The news in the morning looked different. Hindsight is 20 20 and looking back, the attorney general was correct in his answer to the senator but it probably wasnt as wholesome as it couldve been. I wouldve covered my tracks a little more to say no, i never spoke about it. As a senator, i did have a meeting with my staff about whatever it was about and be able to clarify it. Thats the same individual Michael Flynn was talking to who, we know what happened with the rest of that story. Hes no longer with the administration. Kimberly eric, do you think the messaging was good . Coming out and saying he was going to recuse himself and giving some specifics. Eric terrible idea. I hated the fact that he did that. Kimberly that he talked about it or recuse himself . Eric that he recused himself. I feel like that was a weak moment for the attorney general and i think he could have stepped up and said i did nothing wrong. Senators who chair the Armed Services committee will have contact with certain Russian Ambassadors pretty remember when bill clinton boarded Loretta Lynchs airplane during the investigation of his wifes email scandals. She felt bad about it but she didnt recuse herself. She said i will go with whatever james comey says. Weathering Hillary Clinton should be indicted or not. Thats basically saying i am kicking the can down the road. Mccaskill today said i have been on the Armed Services committee for ten years. No call or meeting with Russian Ambassadors ever. Ambassadors called members of the Foreign Relations committee. On two separate occasions, senator mccaskill tweeted off to meeting with the Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary rules. 2015, she said calls with british, russian, german ambassadors on the iran deal. You are doing your homework and so was Jeff Sessions and the senator on the Armed Services committee. He shouldnt have recused himself. He did nothing wrong. Kimberly you are saying hold the line. Eric now that hes going to recuse himself on any further issues that come up as far as the campaign. I dont like it. Kimberly okay juan, what about people who say air on the side of caution in terms of what youre doing that its above and beyond any reproach in that youre going to recuse so there arent questions Going Forward about the investigation. Juan i think you did a Great Service to President Trump. He elevated the level of integrity and trust the American People can have that this is going to be an impartial investigation. Weve seen reports, house intelligence, adam schiff is saying jim comey has been withholding information from the congress. We know for most americans, more than 50 , paint they think they needed investigation to get an answer. I think when you have someone not only of his own volition, his own initiative saying im going to recuse myself that saying my staff got together in my staff said mr. Attorney general, you are involved in the campaign. Its not appropriate to sit there in judgment or decide what the fbi should be involved with. I think attorney general sessions upheld the highest standards of integrity for his office today. Eric one that Loretta Lynch couldnt do. Juan she did. Jim comey came out one of the criticisms of jim comey was the gym comey as a prosecutor shouldnt be making decisions about whether to go forward. Loretta lynch. Eric something juan Loretta Lynch basically did the same thing. Greg this is bait and switch from the start. They were asking sessions about whether he had discussions with the russians about the campaign. He said in that context he did not. They bait and switch the question so they are saying wait, he talked to the russians as a member of the Armed Services committee. Those are two different things. If they had asked him about that, he wouldve said oh, yeah, i talked talked to all the amb. I dont even know what i talked about it but had nothing to do with the context of those questions. It was a cheap trick from a party that is bereft of any ideas. This is a walkable strategy of the Democratic Party. Theyre going to go after, for the next four years, anything they can. To hit the administration. What drives me crazy is how riled up the democrats are over the russians considering that president obama, when mitt romney talked about the russian threat, president obama said the 80s called and they want their Foreign Policy back. Apparently he was prehistoric under obama to discuss the russians are now the russians are evil. And then you think about the 80s, 70s, 60s when the russian was truly dangerous under the ussr. Where was the left . Where were the democrats . Where were the liberals . They were antianticommunist. If you were anticommunist, you are seen as a prehistoric beast who thought there were commies under your bed. Turned out we beat them in the cold war no thanks to you. Kimberly that sums it up and i like it. One of the issues is the timing of the meeting. Catherine herridge asked about that. With hindsight, do you believe this is no coincidence that the russians asked you for meeting . Do you believe you were targeted because it came at the height of russias interference and at the same time, candidate trump was giving an interview to our team saying he didnt believe there was anything to the report. I dont recall i dont have a sense of any connection whatsoever about this. Im not sure i even knew when we set up the meeting, what was going to be going to google on of the world what was going on in the world of the time. Eric talk about the timing. Greg is right. All of a sudden the russians became an issue but look at when they started to leak. We hear about this. Jeff sessions had meetings, conversations with some Russian Ambassadors. The Obama White House was leaving a trail. This is 24 hours after President Trump drops probably the best speech of his career, of his lifetime, and it is widely accepted as the best speech on both sides of the political aisle. He earned the office that day and know what happens . They throw everything they can to create any kind of diversion from that moment. In some circles greg to the timing point, it lends to the idea about why the rebuttal was so lame. The reason why it was so lame was that they figure they have something in their back pockets. We dont have to handle this. We will do russia tomorrow and take the wind out of the sails. Im impressed with how oldschool journalistic action and concern is happening, somehow happen during the obama years. Benghazi a punchline on a couple Comedy Central shows and among newscasters that it was an overdone thing. Somehow now, every little thing as watergate. Eric how many people died in the russian lake . None. Greg know that we know of. Kimberly heres more from sessions on what he spoke to the Russian Ambassador about. We listened to the ambassador and what his concerns might be. We talked a little bit about terrorism and somehow the subject of the ukraine came up. Its got to be a little bit of the testy conversation at that point. Ramped up. He said something about inviting me to have lunch and i did not accept that and that never occurred. I dont recall any specific political discussion. Kimberly he is trying to give some specifics but its also a little bit of riskreward. Perhaps he heads off because theres a storm brewing. To answer some questions. What you imagine might happen could be worse than what he is saying transpired. Dana i liked the transparency and i think its more the more than you got from others. So many different investigation investigations. The investigation probably had nothing to do with the senator, now attorney general. But about the russians. He is the center of all of this. He was the one who was asking and seeking meetings and trying to information. We know the russians are trying to metal. We are all americans. The problem is actually the russians on what the russians are doing. I think because the attorney general, the other thing he said yesterday, byron york reported this in the washington examiner. He asked him how the job is going and he said it is super busy. Its a fascinating place to be but there is so much going on. He had so much work to do that i think he did do the president a Service Today and that they will be longterm gains for the attorney general and President Trump because of this. Kimberly if you see that guy, run the other way. Agent provocateur. Wants free lunches, meetings. Juan i was listening to greg and eric and it seems like you put a very Strong Political partisan overlay. The democrats are trying to heres the thing, i dont. You can say juan, you are being a democrat but i think i am also saying, and this is a conclusion not just by president obama or some of these crazy liberals. This was the conclusion of the cia, National Security agency, and the fbi all put their good faith. Eric why yesterday does this become an issue . Juan we have an ongoing dana has pointed out. There are ongoing investigations right now, right now. What the conclusion of these intelligence agencies was and it was put out back then was that Vladimir Putin is trying to undermine public faith in u. S. Democracy. Eric all of a sudden delete captains 24 hours or less after President Trump delivers the speech of a lifetime. Kimberly not a coincidence. Juan it fit was coincidence, it was coincidence spectrum gave a good speech. Greg who was the most hypercritical about this russian stop during the campaign . I was talking about if they can have affect our elections, its bad. This is not that. Sessions did nothing wrong. You cant put these two things together. Juan his response to franken. I heard what you said about his response to franken but he also said no when lahey asked him, t . Thats a different one and i think you have to understand if you were on the other side of the political aisle, you would be eric not only senators on the Armed Services committee have meetings with russia. Juan the Washington Post said 19 of the 26 never had meetings. Dana this is not so much about sessions. It is about russia. Why would the Russian Ambassador want to meet with sessions . He was considered a surrogate on the campaign. I didnt have business with him about the Armed Services committee. He wanted to know what trump was thinking in regards to ukraine and it seems that what the attorney general said we are for freedom for ukraine and russia doesnt like it. I think the attorney general looks better this afternoon that he did even yesterday. Greg remember, ted kennedy conspired with the kgb to ruin Ronald Reagan. Juan didnt stop Ronald Reagan from saying tear down that wall. Eric eric holder and Loretta Lynch didnt recuse themselves since in similar situations. Kimberly sessions took the high road. Make sure to tune in to Tucker Carlson tonight because attorney general sessions will be going oneonone with tucker tonight at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. On tuesday, President Trump gave a moving tribute to a Fallen Navy Seal and his grieving widow. It was a heartbreaking moment but despicably some on the left thought differently. The widow of american sniper chris kyle has something to say to them next. People just cant h of me and my discounts. So this year, theyre getting a whole lot more. Box 365, the calendar.

Is the cool musical dana it was the most memorable and emotional moment during the address on tuesday, the moving tribute to Fallen Navy Seal ryan owens and his widow, carryn. So many of my Family Members are in the military. I thought it was exploitive. He exploited that widow. I wish she hadnt allowed herself to be used as his prop like that and i dont see any great courage here. Wheres the courage . Who wouldnt stand and applause four oh or widow . What is he thinking about . Ladies. Record applause, most applause for a dead soldier on my watch. The sickness of this man. Dana this tweet from a man man, referring to the widow as a idiot. Dan gry lowell was fired dan grilo was fired, properly so. Ryan didnt sign up to serve only republicans or democrats. He didnt give his life so he would be applauded. He went into the silent professional mode ended what he does and he died knowing more about the threats against us than most people well. For that, he deserves respect. I dont hearing what environment or from who, he deserves respect. She want to say her husband served valiantly, was successful helping this country, deserved some recognition and if the president wants to give it, shes going to show up so her husband can be recognized. She is anything but a fool. Dana that is a strong woman. Kimberly she is strong and im sure she is a source of strength for carryn. Are these people so do they have no shame . Have a moment to not be political and let a woman grieve, let a country grieve and honor a man. He served admirably and honorably. There was nothing i thought was distant genuine about it. You saw the emotion when she was looking up to heaven saying love you, baby to her husband. We all learn and grow from moments like that of vulnerability and service and sacrifice to the country. Good for President Trump for honoring him and saying it was a Successful Mission because the intelligence reports are consistent with getting that information that a lot was gleaned from the raid in particular. We owe it to the people who served on it and her husband as well. Shameful behavior from the people who tried to cheapen the moment. Dana in the moment when it was happening and everyone was clapping and it was emotional, i thought it was not only for the navy seal that died but for all of the military and the gratitude
