Own personal probe. And strzok worked on the Mueller Investigation until those texts got them booted from the case. They apparently spoke of some insurance policy in the spring of 2016 as the fake hillary hunt was in full swing. They reportedly referenced a so kret society which could mean anything. That could be a fun Drinking Group or a dc swing joint or even a gathering of waist deep staters trying to hold on to their power. But here is where it gets weird. So far its all perfectly normal, including the part these two were prematurely celebrating hillarys icky innocence. There are 5 months of missing texts during a critical period between december 14, 2016 and may may, 2017. Muellers old boss james comey admitted leaking. This may all be Conspiracy Theory connecting distant dots and forcing them together as facts. But you have to admit the whole thing is just bananas. I dont think they were politically motivated democrats. They were forces aligning against an antiestablishment president who is just annoying enough to ask the wrong questions and strip the society of their secret powers. Im kennedy. Kennedy are these effects correspondence between a couple of lovers talking politics or lovers talking shady deep state behavior. This is all very, very disconcerting. But is it just a series of disconnected facts that dont point to anything . Here is the part that disturbs me as a former prosecutor. Where are these missing texts. You heard attorney general Jeff Sessions saying we are going to leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this to determine if there is any wrongdoing and take it to the fullest extent of the law. Why dont they have that information . And why are fbi counterintelligence agents using samsung 5 phones and no encryption to send these messages. Its reckless and irresponsible. Most of agents i know who work under cover. They use encrypted Services Like telegraph or cyber dust. So i dont know why they were doing this if they didnt think they were going to get caught. Maybe its because they were just against President Trump. Maybe they misread the electorate and thought hillary was going to win. But i think its far more nefarious than that. I think they were acting in concert and working together to affect wait a specific out together to effectuate a specific outcome. And has the fbi and has the fbi preserved any of these documents. Kennedy if james comey says its not negligent within bleachbit and all of those missives. The fbi should know better. The fbi has turned into a spy agency. They have the tools of any intelligence Gathering Service where they can spy on you all the time. What about the cloud . All it takes is one person who come forward to say you want to see my Text Messages from that period . Here they are, saved. Kennedy as it relates to american citizens versus foreign actors, when you have those two intersect, and you have american citizens acting in concert or colluding with some kind of foreign entity or agents. Therefore they would get that within their purview of investigation. These two just need to be in lock step together. But who else was work or complicit with them. These are the messages between the two of them. They had relationships, they felt comfortable going back and forth. Im curious. What we have seen so far in the messages available, its pretty damning. Kennedy thats the problem for the fbi, you are forcing people to manage. Its that erosion and credibility of trust it wasnt the russians or james comey. She lied about so much for so long and was so opaque with the way she offered information that it cost her the election. Kennedy the fbi has suffered some damage here. We have known the fbi to be professional. Those incredible men and women who work there as agents that they are put in this situation by bad actors. But its really unacceptable because they are put in the highest trust and confidence in the country to keep us safe and look after things. The fact that they would be acting in this way, its politically motivated and ideologically inspired. And there has been a destruction of evidence that is problematic. Kennedy this morning on Fox News Channel trey gowdy said he was blown away by how this could all have happened. We need to know how the worlds premiere Law EnforcementAgency Managed to lose five months of texts. Whats also troubling is in the texts we do have, they are discussing how the avoid texts being captured and secured. Whats missing is important. And whats there is important. Its manifest biased against trump, his kid, against his business interests. Kennedy we have bias and now the secret society. Is this a distraction on the part of republicans. Robby soave is here and tim carney, and author of dear reader, qughts unauthorized biography of kim jongun and host of you are welcome. Michael malice. This sounds like some crazy Conspiracy Theory. We are living in a time when there was a conspiracy for Harvey Weinstein and kevin spacey. Remember the 90s, Hillary Clinton went on television and said there is a conspiracy against me. In retrospect she probably knew something the rest of us didnt. When peoples phones are being tapped and people are being surveilled. The democrats are acting like the rugs. Its very disturbing. I dont think the Congress People would go on tell special making these claims if it were a nothing burger. Kennedy the fact that there is so much missing. People like adam shift and other democrats. Dont let this stuff fall along political lines. If the federal government are overstepping these boundaries, everyone has to step up and say that. If there is anything where you should be able to get the right and the left coming together. Right has a scepticism of government and the left has a scepticism of government. This is something i hope we get in the coming years. Congress should be overseeing these executive agencies, especially the guys who can arrest you and spy on you and kill you. Kennedy is it just weird . Is it just dismissible as, may, man, these guys are looking to end the russia investigation . Can there be another investigation . There should be more investigations, thats fine. I do wish the republicans were as concerned about the violations of allamerican Citizens Rights by Law Enforcement and the fbi as they seem to be about possible violations of trumps rights. There is something to look at. Kennedy these are the people who bad mouthed Edward Snowden and said he should be executed. An was the one who brought this overreach to the fore. He was talking about these programs that were not ended but have been bolstered. Same thing for the left. People have flipped for partisan reasons. The democrats and left said no, no, the government is good. Government power is holding people. Its intrin 60s to the its intrinsic to the system. I dont think oversight is enough at this point. Later in the show well talk about the memo that reportedly uncovered the memo that shows the deep state spies on americans. And senator schumer tried to draw a hard line on daca, all mcconnell had to do was say it was his quote up tension to bring up the issue of dreamers in the next couple weeks. Schumer tried to strike a deal with trump by offering him 1. 6 billion in wall funding in exchange for the daca deal. But now the president rebuffed and schumer has taken it off the table entirely. More leftleaning democrats, not so optimistic. Bernie sanders, kamala harris, elizabeth warren, they voted against the spending deal. Who were the winners ands willers of this shutdown . Schumer is a big loser. What he got was what had been offered him before he shut the government down. Kennedy which means a clean immigration bill. I see this as a trial run. What can we get and how does the white house and Congressional Republicans come february, i think well see this again. Well look back on 2015 when ted cruz and the republicans shut down the government, the republicans took the government. And a guy even crazier than cruz took the presidency. What we are seeing is the big winner is mitch mcconnell. Hes having democrats go on tv and sing his praises. Something even republican senators dont want to do. 2013 is a perfect example. But there is a huge asymmetry in the gesh yaition. Daca is a ticking time bomb. If they dont get a deal by early march, those people will get deported. All President Trump has to do to win is do nothing. Which is something hes good at. I always feel like a loser in the Government Shutdown debates. All the things we hate about government keep work. The tsa is still doing its business and isis is open for business. Everybody gets entitlement checks. Kennedy john stossel had a list of things last night that still function when the government shuts down. He said he wished the government would have shut down for a lot longer so people can see how nonessential it is. Some of my best friends are nonessential workers. Kennedy well see you later in the show. First up, special Counsel Robert Mueller interviewed attorney general Jeff Sessions. Is the president next . Ill ask Dan Henninger after the break. Hold together. A little to the left. 1, 2, 3, push easy easy easy horn honking alright alright weve all got places to go weve all got places to go Washington Crossing the delaware turnpike . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money sean saved by switching to geico. Big man with a horn. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. I tabut with my back paines, i couldnt sleep and get up in time. Then i found aleve pm. Aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. Im back. Aleve pm for a better am. On thousands of hotels, cars and things to do. Like the Fairmont Mayakoba for 59 off. Everything you need to go. Expedia. Everyto everyone else, go. Ieveryone else. But on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help. Kennedy the department of justice has confirmed reports that Robert Mueller interviewed Jeff Sessions for several hours last week. It touched off widespread speculation over who could be next. The New York Times reported mueller also interviewed former fbi director james comey whom trump fired last year. We are told comey shared memos he had with the president before the firing. Legal experts say its a near certainty the president will submit to some form of questioning before the probe ends assuming he doesnt end it himself by firing mueller. Welcome back, dan. Lets talk about this a little bit. It appears the probe has somewhat narrowed to obstruction of justice in regards to james comeys firing. How serious is that. Do you think thats a Fair Assessment of where we are . I think its a Fair Assessment. I think mueller is focusing on obstruction of justice. Senator feinstein raids that as the probable impeachable issue. We just learned they interviewed james comey about the memos he wrote to himself about being unnerved with his conversations with President Trump prior to the firing. I think its pretty clear the special prosecutor mueller is focusing on that issue. Thats undoubtedly what he spoke to attorney general Jeff Sessions about. What conversationed did you have with mr. Trump prior to the firing. Kennedy when did you leave the room . I dont think they are any closer to proving obstruction. Personally i think trump fired comey out of rage. I dont believe he was trying to obstruct. But prosecutors are looking for a their he piece here. They dont need all that much to base a charge on. Thats the risk President Trump is in now. Kennedy it sounds like an Impeachable Offense if democrats take back the house of representatives. It does have to be a very curious interview which you have got attorney general whose recusal prompted the appointment of special counsel. Let us not forget why comey was fired it wasnt just trump himself. But Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein wrote that memo saying comey deserved to be fired because he usurped the attorney generals role and had taken the information public in contradiction to fbi procedures. So comey is not without error. Kennedy is this bigger than collusion . If it is, where are we heading . Thats an excellent question. Obstruction is a crime. Collusion is not a crime. We are now a year into the collusion socalled investigation story narrative. We are no closer to where we were at least a year ago. I dont think the collusion story is going much of anywhere. So weve fall back on the issue of obstruction. But the larger issue is what is happening with the fbi, with five months of missing emails with peter strzok whom he was having an affair with. Whats going on with bruce ohr. Now we have representative nun else from the house intelligence committee. I think Robert Mueller has to worry that hes becoming embroiled in an issue thats well beyond collusion. Kennedy dan, thank you so much for your time and expertise. Coming up, pressure in washington is building to release that memo that allegedly contains disturbing details of government abuse. Is there a chance well get to see it soon .

Thats the call from republicans who have reviewed a memo about alleged surveillance abuse under president obama. 25 years i have been in Law Enforcement before i got here in 2013. I can tell you i read it twice to make sure i read it properly and it was deeply disturbing. Anybody who has been in Law Enforcement will find out. And any american will find out if they have the opportunity to review it. Kennedy fox reports it could be released as soon as next week. Democrats like adam schiff say its a lastditch move by republicans to discredit the russia investigation. Will this memo see the light of day . And how worried should we be about democrats pushing for redaction . Joining me, buck sexton. What have you heard about the memo . Everyone i talked to about the memo said its incredibly damning. I have my doubts about what that necessarily means. My sense is it will be some form of executive summary. I dont think it will be the smoking begun that some folks are being led to believe. Kennedy they say this is what happens in a country run by the kgb. Is this political hyperbole . For those of us following it for many years, we know there are great abuse of power. No one who knows anything about the history of state Security Services in the soviet union or other places people throw around as comparisons to going on in this country, if they knew anything, they wouldnt be making the comparisons they are making. There are a few people in the fbi and the doj, and they have abused their discretion. Kennedy the Washington Post is reporting its in regards to Christopher Steele and going to the fisa court to get a wiretap to wiretap carter page. And who paid steele and the fact that steele already lied to the fbi in a previous interview. Are you hearing thats the purview of the memo . If there was that much specificity it would be at the point where we are talking about a leak. If the for us as clear and damage, i finds it difficult that 100plus members of congress that have seen this wouldnt have said something to someone. Kennedy for democrats they assume this is a republican smoke screen. Then read the memo. If there is nothing to it, you can put peoples minds at ease. I dont believe adam schiff. All he does is try to get attention. And he politicizes everything. You cant get an objective, honest or rational word from him. The democrats feel if they go and see this, it gives it some legitimacy. So they are hoping the delay in all this will mean some of the political fervor around it will be lessened. I am hoping it is what we are being led to believe. But im sceptical. I know we were talking about nunes and unmasking, and we got them. But it wasnt enough to dramatically up end the investigation. We have to have this debate so we can have the debate about fisa which never goes anywhere. Kennedy why are we seeing this memo now and not before the vote . If im betting on this one, it will be a moment of talking point bonanza for republicans, and democrats will say probably because of redactions, this is your assessment. It wont be enough raw information to shut down the otherside. And thats your analysis. Good to see you. I wish i could say it was bigger than that. Here we go. Kennedy there is nothing easier than developing a bad habit. But if you like most of americans you think gorge on sweets is worse than puffing on trees. The wall street journal and nbc news have a new poll out on what folks consider to be the most of harmful substances. And americans believe sugar is more harmful than weed. So should we be more afraid of candy wrappers or rolling papers. Soave and carney. Michael malice will be playing the part of the wolf boy. Thank you all for being here and coming back. So do you agree with this assessment that tobacco is worse, alcohol is pretty bad and sugar is worse than weed. Tobacco is clearly the worst. If you look at sugar, the trix rabbit. So i think we need to focus on what makes people happy. Im not a smoker myself. If it makes people happy and calm and sedate. How would you rather have someone coming home on alcohol or someone on weed. One will tell you funny stories and the other one not so funny. Sugar is bad and great breakthroughs in food science, we aring that fat is the best one for you. People realizing sugar bad as diet is bad. But we under sell, pot can have lots of harms too. The most of interesting creative people i went to high school with become boring from smoking too much pot. Alcohol has huge social costs. But ill tell my kid, dont do pot. A little bit of sugar. And i would say no pot actually. Kennedy i think sugar is the worst of all because im so addicted to sugar. Im not telling anyone which of these substances they should or shouldnt use. I only care what the government lets them do. Kennedy just because i think something is bad, doesnt mean it should be illegal. We have more an obligation to be moralistic about what people want to do with their lives because we want to let them do it legally. This is stuff you ought to do in moderation. Sugar is sweet and so are you. Kennedy hes the winner. Great to see you guys. Coming up, former wwe champion kane running for mayor of dc.

The Government Shutdown is over until february 8 when the temporary fix runs out. Dreamers and other immigrants are still have much in limbo. According to a new Harvard Harris poll, 81 of voters want to reduce immigration into the u. S. So what is the libertarian solution . And how would that affect towns and cities. Glenn jacobs, you know him as wwe wrestler kane. Hes running for mayor of washington, d. C. Im wondering how it plays out in your state. There have to be farmers and people in agriculture who need seasonal labor and its difficult for them to fill that with 19yearolds in the labor market. And you there are people who feel like their jobs have been taken away. When it comes to immigration, you cant have a liberal immigration policy and a welfare state. When we look at immigration reform, we also have to look at welfare and regulatory reform. What we tend to do is treat immigration as if it exists in a vacuum while these other things impact it. It impacts them as well. Kennedy if you changed welfare regulations, and the enticements come to this country. It changes who comes here and what their motivation is. You want hard working people who will add to the economy and fulfill their own dream. While lifting the economy for others. But thats impossible when people are here suckling at the teat. And thats what upsets people. It skews the labor market for unskilled workers. Employers willing to take a chance, they can pay Illegal Immigrants less than minimum wage. Kennedy understood the table. But the same goes for not only the tax burden and the regulatory burned and paperwork. If you are an employer and you can employ someone under the table and pay them cash, you are not having to keep all those records, it gives you a tremendous advantage over people who do play by the rules. So we have to level that playing field, but that will only happen through regulatory reform. Kennedy and immigration reform. If people want to work for part of the year and go back. We have to have a system that allows for that. What are some of the big issues that are affecting your part of the state and what when you want to be mayor. We are the on place in the country that has a Major Research university, the university of tennessee as well as a Government Research laboratory, Oakridge National laboratory. We are seeing some great benefits from that. The couple of companies i have seen firsthand on the cutting edge of manufacturing and carbon fiber production. We are in a great spot. What we have to do in our area is make sure we keep our taxes low, that we keep our regulations in line so we can continue to not only make the businesses that are already here feel welcome and be able to do business more easily. But also to attract new business. I know you have libertarian points of view, and there are a lot of areas where i agree with your philosophy. But there is a big difference between someone like ron paul who is a congressman for a long time and a doctor. But he was never an executive. In a mayoral position, you will have to execute all day long. How does a libertarian govern. You have to keep your principles. We have a lot of common sense down there. And thats what people want to see. You can provide that business friendly environment. The mayors job is to insure Economic Development and make sure jobs come to the region. Especially goodpaying jobs. We talk about unemployment rates. Tennessee has very low unemployment. But we have to make sure we have good jobs and high wages. Kennedy dont let those Establishment Republicans stifle you. Speak with your authentic voice and lead with that great big heart of yours. Jacobs for mayor. Com. Come join me.
