The lead investigator in the clinton server probe named peter strzok. Hes the guy month changed the wording in calling hillarys actions from sneg gent to extremely careless. So hes busy. So what . So lets dance say republican pitchforkers who point to antitrump Text Messages. Republicans say he went full throttle on trump. Now the special counsel can do anything it was the impetus of an fbi guy being head by an fbi guy hospital outcomes were quietly shaped by another fbi guy. The ultimate goal being preserving the power and secrecy of the fbi. Republicans are stretching its oozing with taint. It appears to be deep staters using the means they were given to maintain their condescending status question so as not to be overturned by a powerful president who has their apple cart in his crosshairs. Welcome to the show. Im kennedy. Has the special counsels side show permanently soiled the Russian Investigation . Joining me now to discuss, town hall. Com president katie pavlich. Within congress there are members from both parties frying to put legislation together to protect mueller from firing by the president. But you have a big and growing group of republicans who say this investigation is completely compromised. Where is the truth in all of this . The Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley has asked for some explanation how they are handling bias at the fbi, making sure agents are doing their job without political input. But is anybody going to believe the outcome of the special counsel . There are two sides to that. If the special counsel can prove in a court of law to a judge that these crimes have been committed. On the side of public opinion, i think that its over. We had a crisis of confidence in our public agencies before the special counsel was appointed. But as we continue to see the biased letters and emails, people are looking at it and going, it looks pretty bad. Kennedy it doesnt help the special counsel claims of objectivity. You have the fact that Christopher Steele had some interaction, perhaps some employment with the fbi, hes the guy who put the dossier together. But long before the investigation was complete or she was even interviewed by the same agent or the agent who oversaw that was also the one as i said, he signed the man for the search warrant. He launched the russia investigation. If you go back to when the special counsel was put in place by deputy general rod rosenstein. Rob mule per was praised as an excellent choice for the special counsel. A man of integrity and character. That still might be true, but the people around him who have the conflicts of interest, we have evidence of him having clear political antitrump prohilly bias. They are starting to make his investigation and his credibility look bad. Kennedy and hes the one who staffed this investigation team. Its curious, because i almost think its not so much about people who are pro hillary. I think they are have much antitrump. Hes someone who has directly called out these intel agencies and the highest Law Enforcement agency in the land as being so selfprotected that they are essentially beyond reproach. We are seeing calls for more transparency and more information on this. Judicial watch filed a lawsuit to get some of the Text Messages that were sent by strzok to his alleged mistress being pro hillary. Kennedy how did we get wind of this in the first place. Is this the cia spying on a lead investigator at the fbi . Or was this a love gone sour. Thats a good question. Im not sure where we found these messages, but i know they are being turned over to the House Intelligence Committee as part of their investigation. But the department of justice itself has an obligation to look at the fbi which they oversee and make sure their investigations are being conducted in a fair, honest, and nonpolitical way. Its hard to do in washington, d. C. Because everybody is tied to politics . Some way. But it really matters when it comes to our institutions. The most of powerful Law Enforcement agency. That people can have confidence in their decision making. It isnt a decision like the irs where certain people are held to a higher standard than others. It should give more confidence to the American People about the justice department. Kennedy if we do make it necessary changes so they can police themselves so they dont have to keep appointing special counsel. The one good thing about the legislation would make it hard to fire special counsel. The next time around, whoever is appointed will have to be careful about the person they put in there. I dont think that the white house has had any indication at all at least recently that they are want to go fire Robert Mueller. As we have seen from both sides of the political aisle, they believe it would be political suicide to do that. But as more of this information comes out they are asking for more explanations about how this could have happened and where these conflicts of interest lie, especially when it comes to the clinton investigation. All of those questions they make you ask where is this going. 8 House Republicans are calling for a probe of the fbi over the bureaus alleged special treatment Hillary Clinton received during its investigation into her email server. Lawmakers want attorney general Jeff Sessions to appoint a Second Special counsel to look into clinton. They say there has been a double standard in the way the fbi has treated Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Will we ever see such an investigation or will this get swept under the rug like a smashed email server . Let me go to my batterypowered power panel. Dagen mcdowell and pete hegseth is here. Along with kat timpf, the greg gutfeld show correspondent. Hello. Lets talk about this double standard. There might be something to the idea that Hillary Clinton was given such special treatment. The investigation was called special. And the language describing her actions was certainly softened taken from something that was very criminal to something that was not charge worthy but she got a good lip snacking from james comey. There is a double standard . Dagen absolutely. Is, mueller too conflicted to be running to be the special counsel . Part of the issue is the fbi, what happened with jim comey and the fbi and the handling of the clinton investigation. The wall street journal editorial page called for Robert Muellers resignation. Mueller made it clear that hes not going to sit here while they disparage the fbi. And the agent who got caught sending antitrump Text Messages to his mistress. He did interview cheryl mills and huma abedin who lied. Why werent they charged. Kennedy what does mueller do . Hes so dug in, and this is playing out exactly as james comey wanted. Pete i dont see him stepping down. If you look at the facts of the matter and what we reported at fox fuse channel. You see how biased its been, the way politics has been weaponnized. But if you were to turn on other networks and watch other morning shows, everyone is going to be thrown in jail soon, the noose is tightening. Kennedy how many times have they claimed, this is it. This is the thing that will bring the president down. Pete every single time. Its offensive to nothing burgers to call it a nothing burger. I think it amounts to a whimper. Kennedy as civil libertarians what we have to look at is the abuse of power and the amount of power concentrated at the fbi. So much of this is about maintaining and protecting that power and punishing the person going after it, namely the president. Im not a fan of everything the president does, but im dubious about the fbis role in the Hillary Clinton investigation on the server and their response to it. How do you see it . Kat the more that comes out about how biased this was. I understand why Hillary Clinton did what she did. I would have totally been a criminal, too, if i knew everything i did would be written off as no big deal. Kennedy if you win the presidency you put in a new fbi director. If you lose you are not going to be charged because you plate victim. Kat she knew these people were her buddies. She didnt have to be as careful. I wouldnt call the russia investigation a nothing burger because we had four indictments. But you have to be an idiot to say that the treatment has been the same. Kennedy there is a double standard. Pete there are so many great agents that do great work. Kennedy will Robert Mueller ever indict or investigating head of the fbi . Dagen he believes it is above board all the time. Thats the argument from the wall street journal editorial board. Kennedy there is a degree of sanctimony there. They are doing such good work by virtue of their goodness, they cannot be investigated in the same way. Dagen one issue that needs to be looked at by mueller and his team is the use of that phoney dossier turned by Hillary Clinton and the democrats, put together by russians. The use of that in triggering the investigation of the trump team, and the potential wiretap. Kennedy by using that flimsy piece of garbage to spy on americans. Dagen this is a rhetorical question to you. Why is it legal for the fbi to lie to someone being interviewed . Its perfectly aokay legally for them to lie. But if you lie to an investigator they send you to jail. Pete the double standard is based on how they view themselves. When you are a journalist, we are unbiased because we have journalist after our name. Its the same standard they want. Kennedy the party panel is returning a little bit later on. Many republican senators not happy with the white house backing of roy moore. But can the republican victory in alabama tush into a longterm defeat for the grand old party .

Thats why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent Network Speed across multiple locations. Every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. Leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. Comcast business outmaneuver. Kennedy President Trump and the Republican National committee are all in supporting roy moore. But last night steve bannon took the fight to republicans who have been keeping their distance from the controversial candidate. They want to destroy judge roy moore because they want to take your voice away. If they can destroy roy moore, they can destroy you. Kennedy latest polling data shows victory is well within moores reach. But there is fear in the party that it could pose trouble for other candidates. Could a roy moore victory be more costly to the gop than a defeat . Joining me, jason chaffetz. So do you support roy moore . Its not up to me. Its up to the people of alabama. Let them decide. Kennedy im not asking about the people of alabama. Im asking you, do you support roy moore. Im not getting into that fight. I am not endorsing it. I havent donated money. The people of alabama have to make a difficult choice. Its not somebody in utah or california or anywhere else. I wish we had done with donald trump wanted to do and thats was to stick with luther strange. That battle didnt go the president s way, otherwise we would have avoided all these problems. Kennedy i wish ma don and sean penn had madonna and sean penn had stayed married. I want to support the republican. But in the case of this, its a very, very difficult these women are coming across as very credible. The nation is wake up to a problem thats been there for decades. People who are highlighting this, the person of the year, i think that was a brilliant choice. Kennedy do you believe the women in alabama who have come out against judge moore . I think they have credibility. And i heard from the spokesperson yesterday that was disgusting. I think we need to look hard at what these people are saying. And like i said, the people in alabama have a tough choice. But if your number one issue is abortion, im not going to blame somebody for saying look im not going to elect a democrat who is pro abortion when thats the number one issue. Kennedy jeff flake and ben sasse have been forceful in their condemnation of roy moore. But sas, e says its sasse says its possible to be prolife and antichild molestation. There should be for people who engage in this. If they are guilty, there should be a political death penalty. I dont think we should put up with people who engage in this type of behavier at the highest levels of government. We shouldnt have to accept them. Kennedy this will be so problematic for the republicans endorsing them. I think they are being shortsighted. As the mother of girls, im so disgusted by the pattern displayed by roy moore, the fact he was band from a mall for being creepy to teenaged girls. I think the man is absolutely disgusting, i feel bad for the people of alabama for having to make this choice. I think its gross, anybody coming to his political rescue for shortterm gains, it will cause longterm problems. Again, if we had done what donald trump had done, we had somebody who was vetted and that was luther strange. But they didnt go that direction. Now they have a more difficult choice.

President trump its time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. We want an agreement that is a great deal for the israelis, and a great deal for the palestinians. We are not taking a position of any final status issues. Kennedy israel and palestine claim jerusalem as their capital. And most of countries have kept their embassies in tel aviv. The president s announcement was met with condemnation across the globe. The state department warned embassies to heighten security. And the palestinians called for three days of rage. But president obama isnt the first president to declare the intentions to move the embassy. President clinton and president brush promised to move the capital on the campaign trail. Welcome back to the show, ambassador bolton. Pretty much everyone who runs for president runs on this issue, but they all cave. They have got and lot of pressure the state department which institutionally is opposed to this. And they hear a lot from theologians in the arab world and europe who adhere to a long out of date idea that somehow jerusalem is different from the rest of the former palestinian mandate. I think what trump has done has popped some bubbles and breaks some delusions. But fundamentally he recognized reality. Consider this outlandish proposition. Our embassy ought to be in the capital city. This is important for american Foreign Policy. It will make it more effective and efficient. You have had an illusion that israel is a temporary problem without a capital city. Suddenly america found out where that capital city is and it will put its embassy there. Kennedy it defines our intentions and policy. Its there an argument to be made that this bolsters and enhances the Peace Process . Western europe and pretty much all muslim nations are freaking. The trump announcement knead clear that we are not going to put the embassy in east jerusalem. The embassy will be in west jerusalem which no one mass ever argued will come under palestinian control under any conceivable scenario ask except the elimination of israel. This dates back to the 1940s. By because tonight reality it says to everybody in the Peace Process. If you want to secure a lasting, equitable peace agreement, that will have to be based on reality, too. Kennedy will our embassy actually ever move to jerusalem . Its one thing to say it and declare, but its another thing to physically move the real estate. He wants architects and engineers and plan tore get on it. The state department has the capability. The spotlight from congress should be on the state department asking for reports every 30 days. He says he supports the president s policies. As the former head of exxon he ought to be asking for reports. How long is it going to take to get this done . I dont underestimate how point is. We have important security requirements. But the president needs to make sure as soon as possible the first spadefuls of dirt are turned and this becomes irreversible. Kennedy if you plan on having a smooth flight home this season you will have to cool your jets. The International Air transport Association Reports the number of travelers get drunk, disorderly or even violent has risen by 50 . The incidents often result in passengers being forcibly retrained or booted from the flight. But after waiting in long lines for hours and receiving the casting couch routine from tsa, have they forgotten the lessons of 9 11 . Kat i get angered by the security theater. I dont think it makes us any safer. By the makes it that im treated like a criminal if i leave eyeliner in my bag. I was next to a stinky baby thats smelled terrible for five hours. Kennedy having flown with infants, sometimes you have got to mcguy a change station. Kat but i didnt punch the baby. You cant punch anyone on an airplane. Pete you hit your attendant call button. I blame trump. Clearly it must be his fault. You are stuck on a plane talking to who . What if you are stuck next kat . Kennedy Older Americans who get brandnew iphones like the 8 and beyond and require the special earbuds, they have to have the toggle other adapter. So they listen to a movie at full volume, and thats happened to me twice so i got twice and said so kay, we get it, you are watching something. What if everyone was watching something at full volume. Dagen people blame air rage on everybody and everything. But they are drunk, pulled out re probate asses. They acts like children. Every weekends there multiple people drunk. I get peoples bags dropped on my head. Kat the pills help with the rage though. Kennedy by rairnlging against the rage dagen im not getting arrested. Im not called off the plane halfway through my destination. I sit there and shut up in my sober mind. I dont say anything. People are the problem its bad enough the plane smells like fritos and feet. Kat the stinky kid. I was miserable. Pete dont take your shoes off. Dagen dont sit your bare dogs on the foot vest between the seats. Ken there are free speech here, people. Speak of pills. Some cities are thinking of sidestepping the fda and buying their pills frother countries. But the feds say its illegal. Liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. Yeah, my dad says our insurance doesnt have that.

Kennedy do you want to hear got free market at work . Listen to this baby. Dozen of cities and counties working around the fda to buy drugs overseas to save their employees money. Pharmaceuticals in the u. S. Are expensive and they can be 80 cheaper in other countries. They are working with medication brokers to buy drugs in canada and australia for their employees. This is saving some cities millions of dollars a year. Mayors and administrators are okay with it because its a winwin for them. The fda seems to be turning a blinds eye. Why are drugs so much cheaperab. Charles payne, host of making money. Welcome back. I love the story for you. We love the free market. I want to know how does this work . Charles a lot of foreign governments buy the drugs from the Drug Companies in bulk. The municipalities, some of them may be able to buy it. But its so fragmented we are paying the full amount. Kennedy the diabetes drug. Its a big price there. Charles someone from england would say we dont pay a lot of money for it, but say what are your overall taxes. Kennedy let them pay the taxes and well get the bargain. For we can change the fda process. It can cost up to 3 billion to bring a drug to market. Most of of these Drug Companies have more lawyers than scientists because they are trying to find ways to spin these patents. We need to bring more competition into this. Once it goes away, get generic companies. Kennedy get more treatments. You are right about the fda. This below thed awful bureaucracy. There are so many treatments that are never brought to market. And how many people die waiting for those drugs and waiting for new procedures they cant access because the fda arbitrarily stands in their way. Its a sham and a shame. Im hoping with Scott Gottleib involved. He seems to have a free market idealism or touch. It has to change for moral reasons and economic reasons. You can get the competition in there thats driven down the prices in every totter industry where things start out expensive and come down to a reasonable level. Kennedy i like to that people are using if the free market and going other places to get the same drug for bless money. Charles the president is talking about cracking down on that. Charles the carrot works better than the stick sometimes. Kennedy coming up, there is no proof donald trump collude with the russians. But we uncovered evidence hes working with the taiwan ease.

Howard kurtz is back. Lets talk about this. Is this the right pick . Reporter its a convenient win cultural phenomenon and time didnt want to give it to donald trump two years in a row. Kennedy do you believe someone from time called him and said it will be you and we need a photo shoot. Reporter a lot of people mocked that. But it was true. He made the runner up which meant he was a finalist in contention. Given the explosion of Sexual Harassment allegations in hollywood, Silicon Valley and the media, it seems this is an earthquake worth recognizing. I appreciate the fact they did just put ashley judd on the corner, but some little known women as well. Kennedy lesserknown women with compelling stories, including an agricultural worker and a visa lobbyist. It will be interesting to see whats inside the magazine and where this movement goes. But it certainly is one of those moments in time where people will look back and remember. I think time is right, this does represent a huge cultural shift. Howie if you look at times s impact on the world, the Harvey Weinstein story just happened two months ago its a story thats not over as we can tell with the continuing revelations and possible resignations on capitol hill.
