his wife is paid by fusion through hillary clinton's campaign. it's going to the bruce and nellie ohr joint bank account. he didn't disclose it. nor did he see seek resuze calle case. is that not fireable offense? >> it's something that they fill out every year to look at conflict of interest and i think the process for employment for career officials, there is, it's a long process in order to terminate someone. there has to be enough evidence and a record. so the investigations by both the inspector general and the two attorneys i mentioned could be the basis for that. that is what happened in mccabe's situation, where the inspector general decision drove the decision to terminate him. once the reports come out it could be basis for employment investigation. >> gregg: thank you for being with me. joining me now is the former attorney bret tollman and florida congressman matt gaetz. there is already a criminal referral against nellie ohr and probably should be one against bruce ohr in my judgment. we'll wait to see. i want to tackle another sugge

his wife is paid by fusion through hillary clinton's campaign. it's going to the bruce and nellie ohr joint bank account.t. he didn't disclose it. nor did he seek recusal in the case. isn't that a firing offense? >> financial disclosure is something that is important, and each federal employee fills outi every year to look for conflicts of interest. i think the process for employment for career officials, there is a -- it's a long process in order to terminate someone, and that has to be enough evidence, and a record, and so these investigations by both the inspector general and those two attorneys i mentioned, could be the basis for that. that is obviously what happened in andy mccabe's situation, where the inspector general decision drove the decision to terminate him. once the reports come out, it could be basis for employment investigation. >> gregg: all right. matt whitaker, thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, gregg. >> gregg: joining me now is the former attorney brett tohlman and florida congressman matt gaetz. there is al

i have a question about the hillary clinton comment about the basket of deplorable's. can you claim why she made that comment, why she did it in the particular audience, and what was the impact? >> guest: before we hear from professor jamison what do you think the impact was? >> guest: i am from kansas and most people were shocked at the arrogance or insensitivity or tone deafness of that statement. >> host: you live in lawrence kansas, university town, maybe a little more liberal. were you offended by that comment? >> caller: i was. i am from rural western kansas. i was offended by it. >> host: what do you do in lawrence? >> caller: i work in kansas city as a tax attorney. >> guest: one of the ways a candidates use as our filter, what do they really believe? we try to figure that out. candidates are so scripted much of the time, some candidates are so scripted much of the time, there are exceptions which when we find and extend the rainiest utterance, we treat that as having special evidentiary value. when candidate obama talks about people clinging to the guns and re

but that actually relates to the hillary clinton e-mail scandal. lou: right. >> it was the wiener laptop that caused james comey, the great dirty cop to reopen the hillary investigation, then once again concluded that there was no there, there, it is clear that fbi took a dive -- the wiener laptop, they took a dive on the hillary clinton. lou: what is the southern district of new york? u.s. attorney? last we heard they had possession of it. last we heard, there was great frikfriction between the fbi and southern district of new york. i put it in environment of spygate, because that is about what we're talking about. this is an environment -- >>, of course,. lou: we can't layout lines of demarcations, too clearly right now, after three years of investigate, we still know so little. >> and guess what, if not for the corruption at top of the fbi, and deputy o department ofe to swing the election toward hillary clinton we would have these answers. but what you world premier law enforcement agency, fbi so politically bankrupt and corrupt it cannot run a

sipping our lattes loving hillary clinton and she didn't win the election. i agree with what she did. >> i'm all for anyone speaking out on issues that matter to them, we have first amendment right, everybody should use it. what i don't like celebrities use their platform to bully and harass people they disagree can. with. alyssa milano trying to shame john voigt, people saying cancel your equinox subscriptions this week. i don't think that's good or positive when you shame people with a different world view than you do. if there is a democratic celebrity that says i support universal healthcare but i respect your opinion as well that's fine. but that doesn't happen any more. >> talk about shaming, kanye west went after -- >> being democrat in hollywood or the entertainment space is not brave. >> kanye west had a lot of -- >> support democratic causes. >> kanye west, his comment was freedom of thought, he said i support president trump, i think he's a great guy and people should be allowed support whoever they are, whoever they agree without the other side s

first ideological's but, democrats are deciding whether they should be a party of bill and hillary clinton, centerleft or elizabeth worn and bernie sanders. the large field has put into three camps on this question. the progressive that states time for them to stop into cautious, and claim what they believe in the heart and it's time for government run in higher taxes on the wealthy and free college education for all. moderate, joe biden here believe those may be worthy goals but are too risky for the economy and likely to scare off moderate voters. the third camp is made up of a few candidates are trying to struggle to do with it for each. here come all here's an pete buttigieg. all that leads to the critical tactical question for both parties. will this be a base selection in which is deciding a voters so the turnout greater numbers. in that case the progressive works better. or will it be winning over voters in ideological middle. in that case the modern argument works better. here to break it down is a famous name from emmanuel. he is president obama's chief of staff before become a ma

we begin tonight, a shocking new development surrounding hillary clinton, "the hill"'s john solomone reporting the case surrounding her illicit server might not be settled. in 2016, james comey and his fbi failed to grant investigators access, we learned, to highly classified information that we now know was critical to there case. they hadn't, he failed to give it to them. in other words, agents were tasked with investigating hillary clinton but they weren't allowed to see key pieces of damning evidence, it appears the rigged investigation was far more rigged than we ever knew. what that means was the so-called probe into clinton was a con job. it's now more obvious that the investigation was rigged from the very beginning. under comey, mccabe, strzok, they were never going to bring any charges against hillary clinton, never. she absolutely got a get out of jail free card and if you don't believe me, if you ever have your emails subpoenaed, you delete them, you acid wash your hard drive and you destroy your phones with a hammer and remove the sim card, good luck with that. maybe try

you know, i actually made ads for the hillary clinton campaign in 2016. and what you realize when you do that is, obviously, you're going to lead with your strongest message. i did not -- the words i did not hear in that ad that i listened to were the word iowa. i didn't see any iowans. it's an iowa tv ad but it's not in iowa. he feels like his national message of being the most electable, of being the one that can beat donald trump in the polls, of being the one that is the most tied to the obama legacy are all the winning messages that are going to get voters to turn out for him. and, obviously, he's being proven right so far. >> we're seeing in that new cnn poll, chris, that that is what matters to democratic voters. it's consistent with past polls. what do you care about? i care about someone who can beat donald trump. is it possible, chris, do you think even likely, this wasn't necessarily so off the cuff by jill biden but a clear sign this is our message. >> well, i think it's pretty clear they'll play up the electability argument because it reinfor

hillary clinton and this was the exit poll that day. do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of hillary clinton? 43/55. 55% unfavorable. obviously that's not a good polling profile. it's one of the reasons, one of the critical reasons donald trump was able to get just close enough in the national popular vote and get over the top in those three states, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. it wasn't so much that voters liked trump because his unfavorable number was even worse than hillary clinton's. it was that hillary clinton's was bad enough that it created just a narrow enough path. that is one of the questions that is hanging over the 20 election. this is what hillary clinton's polling profile looked like on election day 2016. what's going to happen to the democrat who's on the ballot on election day 2020? are they going to end up just as unpopular as hillary clinton? so take a look at a new nbc "wall street journal" poll. and you start to see these are the positive/negative, pretty similar question here, positive/negative scores f

it appears tonight the level of commitment to protect hillary clinton and take down donald trump was real at the center of all this with these people in power in the washington swamp. they called it operation cross fire hurricane against donald trump immediately after sweeping the clinton matter under the rug and we will give you the details, after wrecking her investigation, details coming. comey's fbi embarked on intensive witch hunt, they spied on his campaign with multiple undercover operations, they tapped into his staff communications and they outsourced and coordinated spying to our allies, their intelligence agencies, all to circumvent u.s. laws. all in an effort to dig up any dirt possible on donald trump and helped elect the candidate they just saved from indictment, they just used his russian lies to try to remove a duly elected president after he won, in spite of their efforts, that's their insurance policy. tonight, the question is not whether this is true, we have real evidence to back all of this up. the question is tonight whether or not we will have equal justice and

hillary clinton's supporters in hollywood were spied on. i'm that the only person coming forward. >> it sounds crazy. i have to till. i don't mean to use the word insensitive to the mentally ill. it is so unusual. i've never heard anything like this, patrick. and i've been doing this a long time. >> it was weaponized. i was in the middle of it. our law enforcement was weaponized. i'll sorry. i like president obama very much. i did not vote for donald trump. our national security state was weaponized. i was in the center of it. those three names are known to the government and this is, it happen. so it happened. and i had to get, i was told, i'll tell you. this i was told last october. if i come forward. this was by a friend. i'll be, the forces of washington will grind me into a dust. those were the words said. and they're right. the entirety of washington will come down on my head which is why i had to leave overstock. >> are you willing to testify under oath to all this? >> of course, of course. >> this is heavy. these are heavy allegatio

. >> new questions this morning surrounding hillary clinton's health. speak of the democratic nominee now forced to cancel campaign events in california after she collapsed at the 9/11 memorial. >> laura: boy, they shoved her into that van fast, didn't they? after the fall, hillary's doctors scrambled to reassure voters but my overall impression is that mrs. clinton remains healthy and continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the united states. well, at 76, biden is even older than the former first lady. but for him come of the concerns are about his mental or cognitive fitness. "politico" have big journalist equivalent of a medic medevac -- finding the surgeon who operated on biden in 1998, claiming "biden is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago, i haven't seen any change. which led many to wonder, you mean, biden has been like this for decades? >> the country wasn't billed by wall street bankers, ceos, and hedge fund managers. union workers, and their futures and their pensions. investing much more in medical research to conqu

i was thinking back fondly on hillary clinton, you know how much i despise hillary clinton. as i watch this, idea these two people bernie and eli elizabeth warren would be serious candidates is astonishing. >> how about sleepy joe biden and kamala harris, do they suit you better. lou: >better? >> no, they don't, my fear, i don't' to get come little bit -- complacent, but i don't think they can sell to the american public. i believe that trump could kill any one of them. lou: the president is trying to deal with a federal reserve, we just watched powell. the head of the fed, fulfill the president's description. an act of incompetent, failure to communicate clearly and reasonably, saying that a quarter basis point, think about it. they come out at fed at 2:00 sharp, announce 25 basis point cut. 37 minutes later, we're in middle of a market sell-off because the fed chairman said this was an adjustment not a trend. this is preposterous what he did. >> reality, there should have been a huge market, not being an economist, i assume when he made the correct decision of lowering rat

he said google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for hillary clinton. put out by a clinton and not a trump support and google should be sued, my victory is bigger than thought. >> in a day of whacka doodle claims this is the most whacka doodle of all because there is not any claim that google manipulated votes. there is no -- they didn't go in there and change votes. no one claims that except donald trump. the idea is that searches were ranked in certain ways that helped democrats rather than republicans. this, too, has been long discredited but it is all part of this incredible nervousness about his political standing. i was wrong about 2016. i don't know if he's going to win or lose in 2020. but today's spate of craziness tells us he's really worried about losing. that is the real message. not any of the substance. >> you're nodding here sabrina? >> well, look, i think it is no coincidence that he picked out this 2.6 million number from the range that was provided in this unsubstantiated conspiracy theory because that is close to the margin by when hi

we have discovered showing hillary clinton and they were knowingly lying about her e-mails. next week we have a federal court hearing, discovery over our discovery gathering evidence and will ask the court to depose her. >> do you think he will get her in? >> i hope so. there's a lot of unanswered questions about why she was running the system and where her e-mails are which is what the court wants to know, which i hope you'll get more answers from her directly. >> we've run out of time but what has the government, the deep state tried to do to undo your work? >> they oppose our efforts to get answers from the state department and justice department about the conspiracy we are talking about. they opposed our efforts to get this on her e-mails. they are still defending her. >> i'm wondering if they went further. if you saw signs they were trying to hack into your serve servers. >> i just presume they have already done that. [laughter] >> great this year. thank you for being here. up next, anti- semi rashida to leave israel efforts decision to allow her to visit her grandmothe

clinton even though the person doesn't explain what he means by google gave the votes to hillary clinton. the president has taken the claim and run with it. even though it doesn't match what the author himself said, the president is still maintaining that there was a change in the votes. this fits a pattern that the president has had that he has long insisted that he should have won the popular vote. it has bothered since 2016. even just yesterday you were playing clips of the president talking about voter fraud, just yesterday as the president was leaving his vacation in new jersey and coming back to the white house, he was alleging that there was voter fraud. he was talking about voter i.d. laws and how there needed to be stronger ones. one reporter pointed out your own voter fraud commission disbanded because it couldn't find anything. the president continued to make these allegations even though there was nothing to back them up. this also helps the president use this tactic of feeding into the distrust of tech companies, something he thinks can help him in the election. >> it's like

rob: looking ahead to 2020 you may wonder why she is still singing hillary clinton's praises. "fox and friends first" continues right now. rob: live on fox square. thousand square on fox square. it remains to be seen. you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. jillian: thanks for starting the day with us. republicans going to war with twitter after the platform froze mitch mcconnell's reelection account. rob: this is seen as many as an attempt to silence conservative voices on social media. carly shimkus joins us to break down this fiery feud. carley: the trump campaign and the republican national comedy will not spend money advertising on twitter until the bias is addressed, twitter shutdown the senate majority leader's campaign account, team mitch, for posting this video. those are protesters chanting death threats outside the majority leader's home despite the threatening language. mcconnell had a message for them. >> i will not be intimidated by people. not a chance. not a single thing you do is going to alter how i operate on behalf of constituents, the c

but that actually relates to the hillary clinton email scandal. because it was the weiner laptop that caused james comey, the great dirty cop of american history, to reopen the hillary investigation and then once again, conclude that there was no -- they took a dive on the laptop and -- lou: the u.s. attorney, last we heard, they had possession of it. last we heard, there was great friction between the fbi and the southern district of new york. and the reason by the way, i put in the environment of spy gate. precisely because that is what we are talking about. this is an environment and we cannot have that line demarcation. we still know so little after investigation. >>and guess what? if it had a bid -- we would have all the answers but when you have a world premier law enforcement agency, the fbi, so politically bankrupt incorrectly cannot run investigation the way it should have, that is why it's important that they clean house and that is why it is so sad that christopher wray has never addressed any of these problems. >> and as bill barr said

. >> and one near president, hillary h clinton. i did ronald reagan in 2004 and followed that with george w. bush, 2005. my editor at the time, this would have been reagan's impri imprint, i've never said this before but they wanted to do another book. they suggested laura bush and i thought, i just don't want to do that. nothing against her. though she has an interesting story but i thought, that would require a lot of research and time. and how to study here in texas. i couldn't get a year to do that at that time.ar i told them the editor was cal and i saidt i do however have another book that i would kindot of like to do, somebody i wouldn't vote for but i think they have a very interesting faith story. i said how about hillary clinton? and he said oh, yes. we got to do that. >> so we focused more on hillary clinton because she was the coming candidate and bill would be part of it. one of theased reasons that i wd to do that book, i wanted people especially in washington to realize that there's something out there called the rel

hillary clinton's supporters in hollywood were spied on. i am not the only person coming forward. >> it sounds crazy. i don't mean to use the word -- it is so unusual. i never heard anything like this patrick. >> it was a long time. it was weaponized. i was in the middle of it. law enforcement was weaponized. i'm sorry. i like president obama very much. i did not vote for donald trump. our national security was weaponized. those three names are known to the government. it happened. it happened. i was told last october if i come forward that the forces of washington are going to grind me in to the dust. they are right. entirety of washington will come down on my head. that is why i had to leave overstock. >> are you willing to testify under oath to all of this? >> of course. of course. >> this is heavy allegations that the fbi wanted you to have any type of relationship let alone a romantic one with someone they believed was a russian political operative. >> yeah. normally that is an illegal order or instruction. i want to be clear that the

care about at the kitchen table that's what trump did in hillary clinton did not in michigan in indiana in illinois in wisconsin where he didn't even go to west and wisconsin that's where the democrats are going to be focusing on our own amy don't win and trump before the selection started said he thought they heard a national vote without the electoral college no. i was her 26000 changed his mind about. bill think the time today and again my personal thanks for guest hosting this photograph a few tonnes out in the air so much for doing that you're back to have your back thank you back larry good to be back we thank you amy holmes and bill press thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me to king's things don't think it use the pope. yeah stagg that's all for this edition followed sticking. their of russian airlines. you know world of big partisan through the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter

there is another similarity between the campaigns of hillary clinton and joe biden. in both cases, the energy, the force behind the thing originates with someone other than the candidate. for hillary, she thought bill's popularity and legacy would carry her over the finish line. forty joe biden, it's obama whoe endlessly evokes, even if the former president reportedly discouraged biden from going jumping into the presidential ring.the obamas certainly aren't biding this presidency. the guiding force behind the biden run is this person. >> we can't stay fractions like we are now. >> if i could jump in here -- >> sensitive to whether or not someone wants me to reassure them. >> i think what you don't realize is how many people approached joe. >> trump is very confident that, he could beat you easily. are you as confident? >> i'm confident. >> it has to start with allowing children -- that's my wife. sorry. i can't compete with dr. biden.. >> that's truce. >> laura: imagine with the media would be saying if melania trump were injecting herself into her husband's campaig

hillary clinton, emily, hillary clinton accepted the results, the person who said i don't know if i will accept the results, that was donald trump. >> greg: jason, juan talks about a dirty campaign but how can you get dirtier than it is already when you say trump is worse than hitler, mao, stalin. where'd you go? >> juan: i have an idea. the devil. >> greg: the devil, antichrist. we can put them together. >> juan: you have deep state. you're taking them all. >> jason: deep dish. >> greg: doubled the dish. >> jason: wait till he gets space command up and running. >> juan: oh, no. you didn't tell me, jason. >> jason: they have a press conference. these things are way too long. it's august. we have until next august before the campaign really starts to ramp up. i do think there's a great disservice, a lot of people on the left to felt like bernie sanders really got taken to the cleaners. he had the energy and 2016, he was taken out of the process. i think the democrats have a problem right now disengaging a lot of people believe they are dealing with the debate. here's our top, and here's t

you have actually been a fan of hillary clinton. tell us how you asus her response. >> tucker: first of all, president trump made a couple of minor errors in his tweets, in which he was referring to my testimony before congress a few weeks ago. so, okay, he made some minor errors. but, what hillary clinton did, to be honest with you, i think she should be ashamed of herself. she told some blatant lies, and i happen to know that the information that she got came from google. >> tucker: well, that should give us pause. basically, what you are alleging is that hillary clinton is carrying water for google. you >> robert: there's no question about it. if you just look back in time a little bit, you'll find that her number one donor in 2016 was alphabet. google, her chief technology officer was a former google executive. offered in writing to head up her tech campaign and then set up a secret organization called the groundwork. the sole purpose was to put her into office. i have been a staunch supporter of the clintons for decades. i lite

hillary clinton, the dnc, and the obama administration at the highest levels used the u.s. intelligence community and foreign governments and foreign agents to include british intelligence, the australian government -- >> sean: italian intelligence. >> italian intelligence to derail an american election into illegally spying on republican presidential campaign and then a afterwards a presidential administration. that is the enormity of the scandal we are talking about, and people have to go to jail, sean. >> sean: geraldo, you're going to be celebrating 50 years with an unbelievable career. i've never seen anything like this. i couldn't even imagine it. i couldn't write a novel that has proven to be true like this. >> you have to take a victory lap. pat yourself on the back. without you, never would've happened. remember what almost happened here. you had credible media sources, renowned media sources reporting that the president of the united states was reliably accused of being a spy for the o russians, committing treason against the republic ofy the united states of amer

and clinton by with she failed to do. >> had hillary hillary clinton had released the speeches that bernie sanders bernie sanders was asking for. he would've attacked back on them but we would have that vented them during the primaries and as a result, when segments were disclosed, the wikileaks had been gotten brought illegally by the russian hackers, they wouldn't have been used radically that was so busy trying to handle all of that content that was being dumped on it that it didn't actually look carefully to see that those hacked segments didn't say what they thought they had said and didn't say that bernie fant sanders in fear. i'm going to do something really different with wall street. but a public i'm going to tell people something else. that's just simply not there. hillary clinton could have prevented the problem that those tax segments because her when they were taken out of context had she simply disclosed. she was aware he candidate and i think her wariness in this case caused a problem for her. donald trump just think about that statement. the candidate trump made. russian if

>> that's correct. >> what a make understand you personally supported and voted for hillary clinton? >> i was a very strong public support of hillary clinton, yeah. >> so you're not dismayed that people voted for her but your testimony is that google is, through bias and search results, manipulating voters in the way they are not aware of. >> on a massive scale. what i'm saying is that i believe in democracy. i believe in the free and fair election more than have any kind of allegiance to a candidate for a party. >> and looking forward if i understood your testimony correctly, you said in such with elections google and facebook and twitter in big big tech's manipulation to manipulate as many as 15 million votes in a subsequent election. >> in 2020, if all these companies are supporting the same candidate, there are 15 million votes on the line that can be shifted without peoples knowledge and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace. >> you described the go but we might instead it wasn't a a puc service announcement but rather manipulation. can you explain, i'm not sure

i'm afraid because hillary clinton lost. i'm afraid if we nominate a woman, we will have a devastating defeat again. if you're a progressive in this particular primary, support who you like. go all in for that person. everybody is on the same page about voting for a democrat no matter who the nominee is. if you like a woman right now, order to win the nomination you have to tell people that's who you support and you have to go out and work on her behalf. that's 80s rant for another day. >> you talk about electability. guess who else is talking about it? joe biden. and joe biden's wife. i want to play that and then get your reaction to it. watch. >> you know, your candidate might be more health care than joe is. you have to look at who wins this election. maybe you have to swallow a little bit and say i personally like so-and-so better. but your bottom line has to be that we have to beat trump. >> congressman, the "new york times" describes those as extraordinarily blunt terms. >> yeah. but incorrect. jill biden would make a

this was all politicals fee imagine conducted against hillary clinton. rubio, cruz and trump i was in the room when it whatted. in a way, not in a way -- i was part of it. some of it involves filling up hillary clinton for what looked like in a looked like law enforcement was actually setting her up to be blackmailed. i figured out where those orders came from. gave them to peter strzok. no doubt -- pete strzok would watch this and say, you know, he's full of it. i had nothing to do with anything he's talking about. i would imagine. >> he won't. i can tell you peter strzok you want to see a former director crap his pants pardon me stick him a -- a television camera on peter strzok or james comey and say the name patrick byrne you will see a former director of the fbi -- >> joining me now anchor of the story, martha, i don't know what to make of this what is the exact thing he's saying happened with him? >> well, here's what we know. he says that he was approached by federal government sources. who asked him to be helpful in a situation initially that had

i was thinking back fondly on hillary clinton and you know how much i despise hillary clinton so as i watch this, the idea of these two people, bernie and elizabeth warren would be serious candidates for nomination party is astonishing. lou: how about sleepy joe biden? how about kamala harris? do they suit you better? >> no, they don't. [laughter] but my fear is, i do not want to get complacent. i just don't think that they can sell to the american public and i think that trump will kill anyone of them. lou: let's talk about what is going on right now and the president is ashley trying to do with a federal reserve, we just watched jerome powell, the head of the fed, fulfill exactly the president's description. it was an act of incompetency, failure to communicate clearly and reasonably. saying that 1/4 basis point. think about this. they come out at the fit at 2:00 sharp and also 25 basis point cut. 36, 37 minutes later, we are in the middle of a market selloff because the fed chairman said that this was a adjustment instead of a trend. it is preposterous what he did. >> reality as it
