Quote, that he had a story to tell and very much wanted to tell it. What does that mean . Byron york wrote about this today and he joins us in just a moment. But, first this evening, todays stark intel hearing. We face a complex, volatile and challenging threat environment. The risk of interstate conflict is higher than any time since the end of the cold war. The United States is under attack. Under attack by entities that are using cyber to penetrate virtually every major action that takes place in the United States. North korea will be the most volatile and confrontational w. M. D. Threat in the coming year. Martha chief nocialt ed henry live in washington with more. There was a lot more that happened today, ed. Martha, youre right. There was a litany of threat at these top intelligence officials just kept running through. Emerging less. Some threats that have already been there. Some getting worse for the United States. All around the world. And, yet, many Democratic Senators at this hearing, all they wanted to talk about was russia, russia, russia. And, yet, as you heard there, these intel officials were running through particularly sounding the alarm bells about north korea being deadly serious about potentially using their nuclear weapons. And, in fact, they were bluntly saying we should not believe the north korean smile campaign at the olympics despite the gushing headlines in some media outlets. They also warned about the continued threat from islamist militants in the middle east and added that cheaply made fentanyl being smuggled into the u. S. Is now its own National Security threat because the Opioid Crisis is killing thousands of americans here every year. Yet, those three major threats were not mention you had until the 19th paragraph of the New York Times write up of this hearing because senators kept trying to hammer President Trump about alleged collusion in 2016 as the intel officials warned about the legitimate threat of russia trying to disrupt the 2018 mid terms. The president inconveniently continues to deny the threat posed by russia. My problem is i talk to people in maine who say the whole thing is a witchhunt and its a hoax because the president told me. Do you believe there is an actual or at least the appearance of of a conflict of interest when the president is put in charge of declassifying information that could complicate an Ongoing Investigation into his own campaign . Now, cia director mike pompeo said in open session that the Intel Community under the president s leadership is taking offensive action to push back on russian interference and promised to give more detail in classified session. That maybe didnt get that much attention. Neither did the fact that these intel officials also said that right now countries like iran, china, and north korea are also waging cyber war. Martha . Martha ed, thank you very much. Here now House Intel Committee member peter king. He is also chairman of the house subcommittee on counter terrorism. Congressman king, good to see you tonight. Thank you for being here. Thank you, martha. Martha as you watched today, what was your take away because it was clearly it became political pretty quickly. The democrats are doing the American People a disservice and certainly doing reputation of the house and senate a disservice by constantly dwelling on russia. Trying to make believe something is there when its not there. Listen, if this investigation leads anywhere, ill be the first to acknowledge it but so far and i have sat in almost all the interviews of all the main witnesses. I see no evidence whatsoever showing any collusion between the president and russia. Now they try to take legitimate acts that he takes as president and somehow say thats obstruction of justice. I mean, this has gone so far afield and, you know, talking about the commanderinchief of the United States and talking about the president negotiating with countries all over the world. Doing nothing but spreading false narrative and lies. The whole implication he was involved with russia when there is no evidence of that at all. Martha when you listen to all of them, and i watched them this morning going through all these different threats and they are very thoughtful, intelligent people. You know you look at mike pompeo graduated first in his class at west point and he is going through threat sea. Then you hear some of these members of congress pull it back to russia. Its not to say that we shouldnt be very concerned about any meddling in our elections and as ed henry just pointed out mike pompeo said that they are absolutely looking into all of those possibilities for the future and they take it very, very seriously. You wonder if its not sort of this red herring that is keeping our eye off the ball of all of these other extremely important things. Martha, i cant emphasize enough how serious these other issues are. Were talking about north korea. Were talking about china as an emerging threat. Talking about russia still subverting throughout the world. We are talking about isis and al qaeda and talking about Cyber Attacks coming from really some different countries. Cyber attacks. Talking about israel and iran. Were talking about syria. Were talking about whats going to happen in iraq. These are major, major issues confronts us. And they are the ones that can mean life or death for americans. Instead, started we should finish it lets not blow it out of proportion. Keep perspective. The perspective is nothing there. Nothing significant. I say nothing at all is there these other threats are for real. North korea is for real. China is really emerging as a as, again, more and more as a global power under a still have all the islamist terrorism which can attack us over there or right here in our home lands. Martha you know, when you look at the russia investigation because, you know, while all of these wheels are spinning and we have seen a lot of investigative work done on capitol hill as well, Robert Mueller is plotting away day after day on his investigation. Is there any sense of how long it will take, as you point out, its been going on for 18 months now. Will we ever get an indication as to when that work might wrap up . You know, people are reading tea leaves think that Robert Mueller is certainly winding it down or coming closer to the end on the Intelligence Committee i think democrats want us to call 87 more witnesses is the number i heard. We have to finish that up. Once we have a few more witnesses, we should be ready to stop preparing the report and go with that. We owe it to the American People to resolve, this not to keep it hanging out there forever. And, again, we were into the going to get any cooperation, fortunately no cooperation at all coming from the democrats. They want to keep this out there. It doesnt matter to them that theyre tearing down the office of the president. They say they are just going offer President Trump. They are tearing down the office by keeping this constant pressure on when there is nothing there. Martha in terms of wrapping that up, what is your read on whether or not youre going to hear from steve bannon on the Intel Committee this week . My understanding is we are, but until we see it, im not going to fully believe it i was there the last time when he said that the white house wouldnt let him answer questions. And im not a bannon fan. Maybe im the wrong one to ask but on the committee i expect to see him come, in but im not going to hold my breath. Martha in terms of negotiations because back then his lawyers were saying he is only going to discuss things that happen during the campaign not after the president took office. Has there been a resolution on that issue . Im not certain if its been fully resolved. I know they are coming close to it. First the House Counsel negotiating with them and the Committee Counsel itself got involved. Im hoping that he can be in this week. That was my hope. I still want to see him in there. I think that he has questions to answer. But, again, until he actually appears, and takes the oath again, i dont believe it. Martha what about the were going to talk in the next block to byron york about a very interesting piece that he wrote about Michael Flynn suggesting that when Michael Flynn was questioned by fbi agents in the white house, that he didnt have a lawyer present, that he didnt see it as an investigatory discussion. And that they didnt find in that interview that he had done anything wrong. So, you know, any thoughts on how we got from there to him admitting guilt to lying to fbi agents if the fbi agents walked out thereof saying that it went all right. That he was okay. First of all, i would listen to byron york. Thats all i can say about the actual testimony of flynn listen to byron york. Secondly he ended up where he was. Not rumors, but stories that the prosecutors were leaning on his son. Also Michael Flynn is pretty much out of money. And he was really, even though is he a man of honor, he was given the opportunity to plead to really a lesser offense. So i think a lot of that played into it. I think it was one of those deals where they felt if they really wanted to, they could have indicted him ton but in most cases they probably wouldnt have. Whether you have that hanging over your head, when you are running out of money and son may be in trouble as well or threatening your son to be in trouble sometimes you have to fall on your sword. Martha peter king, congressman, always good to see you. Thank you, martha. Martha we were just talking about Michael Flynn pleading guilty to lying to the fbi. Why we learning that the agents who interviewed him who we just talked about told their boss james comey that they believed that Michael Flynn at that interview told them the truth. Byron york broke the story. Hes here to answer that burning question tonight next. And shes one of the president s more controversial hires and fires. Coming back to haunt him. Omarosa dropping a bomb that it wasnt about President Trump. It was about the second in command. When i can tell my story, it is a profound story that i know the world will want to hear.

Martha its been exactly one year since Michael Flynn resigned as white house National Security advisor amid controversy over his contacts with russia. At the heart of that resignation allegations that he lied to the fbi and to Vice President mike pence. But, according to byron yorks new piece in the Washington Examiner, the fbi agents to interviewed flynn did not think he had lied to them. Yet, thats what he was charged with and admitted to. When the doj put bob mueller on the case, everything changed. Byron york joins us now. He is the chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner and a fox news contributor. Byron, good to see you tonight. Hi, martha. Martha i want to start with this headline that is from the Washington Post back on january 23rd 2017, which says fbi reviewed flynns calls with Russian Ambassador but found nothing illicit. What do you make of all of this . Well, you know, there is two actual issues here. One is whether flynn did anything wrong by talking to the Russian Ambassador back in december of 2016 when during the transition when flynn was the incoming National Security advisor. Thats one issue. And then the other issue is whether he did anything wrong when he was interviewed by the fbi about that later. I dont think there is any question that flynn did nothing wrong in talking to the russians. He was the incoming National Security advisor. If Hillary Clinton had won the election, her incoming National Security advisor would have been getting calls from around the world with officials from other countries wanting to talk to them and it would have been perfectly appropriate to do. So thats what Michael Flynn was doing there. So i think that the story you mentioned was the fbis conclusion that there was nothing wrong about a National Security advisor to be talking to foreign official. Martha what about the other scenario which would involve Michael Flynn talking to russian officials and saying, you know, when were in charge, when President Trump takes over, well lift the sanctions against you, you know, just wait. When we get in place, thats a possibility. Now, that was the nut of the discussion that mike pence thought did not happen, right . They didnt discuss anything about sanctions. So, just in the worse case scenario, is there anything illegal about him having that kind of conversation with the Russian Ambassador . No. Apparently not. I quote in the piece Stephen Hadley who was a National Security advisor under george w. Bush saying it would have been completely appropriate for flynn to talk about sanctions with Sergey Kislyak the Russian Ambassador to the extent that he could say well, these new sanctions that the Obama Administration has imposed on russia, dont go overboard. Just be calm. Give us a chance to look at everything when we, the Trump Administration, take office on january 20th. That would not van been inappropriate. Martha those new sanctions you referred to were put in place because of what the Obama Administration saw as meddling in the election. Thats right. Martha they slapped new sanctions on right at the end of the Obama Administration. Now, what about sally yates ya role in all of this . We all remember watching her sit at that table. She was very upset. She felt Michael Flynn had done something very wrong and she wanted to bring it to the attention of the Trump White House while she when she overland and was still in her position there she clearly felt he did something wrong and also observers of this story would say so did Michael Flynn because he admitted to something. Well, sally yates was essentially running the Justice Department during the transition and she was the acting attorney general for the first 10 days of the Trump Administration as well. She has reportedly thought that Michael Flynn in that phone call might have violated something called the logan act. You have probably talked about that in the past. Thats 200yearold law that has never been successfully enforced. Never. Nevertheless flynnevertheless yt flynn violated that important to blackmail. As you alluded to before there was a story that flynn had denied to Vice President mike pence that he, flynn, had talked about saptions about. If i lied to the president maybe he could be blackmailed. Not many bought that theory, but that theory, the blackmail theory plus the logan act theory were the reason that the fbi went into the white house on january 24th, just four days in to the Trump Administration and questioned Michael Flynn. It was that interview that he was ultimately convicted of lying in. Martha there is a lot of questions about the circumstances of that interview. Whether or not he really understood that he was being interviewed and maybe should have a lawyer in that situation. He did admit guilt, byron, no . Yes. So what happened after that interview and one the things i reported in my story in march, as you remember, congress was really interested in finding out what was going on. James comey, then the fbi director, went to congress, talked to lawmakers and told them that the fbi agents who had interviewed flynn on january 24th, did not believe that he had lied and that if he had said anything inaccurate, it was not intentional. That left a lot of lawmakers with the impression that, well, i guess there is not going to be any charges, at least from that meeting against Michael Flynn. Then the president filers james comey; a special counsel Robert Mueller is appoint, months later on december 1st, Michael Flynn pleads guilty to lying in that meeting. Exactly what james comey said the fbi agents believed he did not do. Martha so, we got to go but to be continued because the question is why he hasnt been sentenced and that keeps getting dragged out and drationd out and is he cooperating with this investigation and is that part of whats going on here. So well pick that story up because i think Michael Flynn is going to be back in the news quite a bit. I think so too. Martha thank you, byron. Good to see you tonight. Thank you, martha. Martha joining me now is Jonathan Turley a law professor at George Washington law school. Jonathan, first of all, your response to that conversation. You know, just hearing all that back and forth laid out again about Michael Flynn, your thoughts . Well, its ironic, isnt it . Because it sounds like when comey was in charge of the fbi, flynn was not being seriously considered for criminal charge. It was not surprising that muellers people when they came in saw him as an easy target. We have always tacked about the thousand and one prosecutions. The ability to say that someone lied or mislead an fbi agent. What i do think is absolutely clear and i have written about this before is there really was nothing wrong with that meeting with the russians. And incoming National Security advisor is expected to have interactions. And i also agree that to the extent that yates was concerned about the logan act, its really rather bizarre. Because of the logan act is widely viewed as facially unconstitutional. It has never been used. It should be wiped off the books. But to say that. Martha just to clarify the logan act would be if a private citizen is negotiating with a foreign entity, correct he wasnt really a private citizen in that sense. Private citizens getting involved in foreign relations. Viewed as unconstitutional and the first amendment, its vague, its never been used. For that be the basis of yates concern is really pretty much out there. Its like a legal boogie man. It just doesnt really exist under your bed. Now, its on the books, but its never been used in a court. Martha so, in terms of the other piece that you wrote about today, with regard to devin nunes, because you say it was a piece written by lawrence tribe and other think tank authors who talked about devin nunes and how is he obstructing justice. You wrote a rebuttal to that sort of suggesting that were throwing around the obstruction of justice phrase with pretty much everybody that they can hang it on. Yeah. It seems like the circle of people that are that can be charged, according to many of these experts, is wydens exponentially by the day. Its all because they are expanding definition of crimes like obstruction. Part of the distemper of our politics. This idea that nunes could be charged with obstruction is facially absurd. And if you take a look at that article misuses sources and radical from the case law. Thing im most absurd with how this mania has become so mainstream. As attorneys, we have an obligation to try to be objective and it doesnt mean that you have to like the president or dislike the president. But we have a service to the public to try to get things right, to say what is in the realm of possibility. Martha absolutely. Thats exactly right. Before i let you go, john roberts is roberting tonight that the president s attorneys are working on formulating an argument that he should not have to answer any questions directly from Robert Mueller. Do you believe that he should or not . I think as a criminal defense attorney i would not want the president to go in and do the interview. As the president of the United States, that office can trump those legal concerns but the problem here to thread this needle is that cases like espy and other cases suggest that the prosecutors have to show that they can only get this information from the president. They dont have other sources. And that its limited and precise. They can force those issues. And by making other white house officials available they might be able to narrow the scope. At the end of the day, he is not just a witness. He is a possible target. And i think mueller would win in pushing this issue for an interview. Martha Jonathan Turley, great to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Martha so she was dubbed the ivanka trump of north korea, hardly. The sister of north korean dictator kim jong un became instant media sensation. Did she accomplish the mission . She got so much attention. It turns out she actually failed when she was there. Jack keane, general jack keane joins us on why. Not many people noticed this tucked into the Trump Administrations new Budget Proposal to stop handing out food stamps and instead deliver to people food boxes. What do you think . Mollie hemingway and Richard Fowler here to debate whether that is a better use of taxpayer money next. Policing what poor people eat or able to eat has long ban tradition of that end of the republican party. Now get gillette quality at lower prices every day.

Boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. Boost high protein be up for it martha controversy tonight over a small part of trumps 4. 4 billiondollar Budget Proposal a plan to replace food stamps with food. The Current Program known as snap cost 63. 7 billion in federal spending last year. Trump administration thinks that they can do better in this plan. You may have heard about this already the food box program. We thought it was tremendous idea. What we do propose folks on food stamps part, not all, part of their benefits come in the actual sort of and i dont want to steal somebodys copyright but a blue apron type program you actually receive the food instead of receive the cash. It low lowers the cost to us because we can buy prices at wholesale where they have to buy it at retail. Also make sure they are getting nutritious food. Martha here now Molly Hemmingway at the federalist. Radio talk who he host. Both are fox news contributors. Richard fouler, let me start with you. What do you think of this plan. I think this plan is absurd. Its absurd for so many reasons. Number one, a couple years ago when new york city made the move to sort of ban big gulp. Now the right is picking winners and loser what is type of foods we eat. They want to get rid of the Big Government and creating Big Government. Thats number one, number the two other problem with this doesnt also take into consideration what states will have to pay. So who will ship these boxes . How will they get mailed . How will they be distributed . Truth be told, the snap program currently is actually very nimble. And it actually its not only very nimble but the beneficiaries of the program are loving the program and a lot of times weakening themselves off the program because it gives them financial independence. Martha i dont know that they are weakening themselves off the program. Lets compare 1968 and we talked last night about the 50year anniversary of Bobby Kennedys poverty tour. A lot of these programs were instituted around that time. So the poverty rate in 1968 was 12. 8 . The poverty rate now is 12. 7 . Snap recipients in 1968, 2. 9 million. We now have over 42 million americans on food stamps, mollie. What do you think of this program . Its not just from that long ago but really this program ballooned under both the bush and Obama Administration and its now 18 of american households are on this program. The biggest problem facing the biggest food related problem facing low income americans not actually hunger its obesity. A lot of that related to this socalled Nutritional Program which has people buying things that are not exactly the healthiest for them. There are some really stad statistics about this children in low income American Children are twice as likely to be obese as other americans. And this, of course, leads to all sorts of lifelong problems of not just the physical variety but socioeconomic problems. Federal problem not doing anything to help it but getting people on to these roles in recent years. This is a program that has nearly quadrupled in size since the beginning of the Bush Administration and tripled in how many recipients. Not doing what it set out to accomplish. Martha doesnt make any sense. During that period, the Obama Administration, president obama talked a lot about how the economy was recovering. It was growing. And, yet, more and more people were being added to this program, richard, in terms of the big gulp magical to break that down for a moment an individual citizen who is buying a soda ought to be able to buy whatever soda they want. This is a Program Designed to give people food. So why not give people food . A couple things, a couple things to what mollie just said. Number one, the snap program is one that responds to economic fluctuation. So every time the economy goes down as we saw in 2008 during the Great Recession of course you will have more folk enrolled in the program they are out of jobs and cant work. Not to mention the fact that snap programs are also used during times of natural disaster. The reason why the snap numbers are so high now because had you a hurricane in houston. Had you a huge hurricane in puerto rico. Martha okay. Why not give people food instead of food stamps . But, heres the problem. When the government begins to pick winners and losers and what food is purchased, thats problematic. The Trump Administration said this in a decision to reject maines new law that would have banned junk food from snack program. Ing this trump usda department of agriculture said this shouldnt be picking winners and losers this plan does that picks winners and losers. Martha gives people staples to cook with and some of the rest of that money in their own disposable income so that they can choose what they want with that part of the money. Mollie . I hear you, martha. If the box has all the apples purchased from one particular government government picks they are picking winners and losers. The reason why you would be able to save costs is be able to buy things wholesale instead of retail. Poor people rate very low on Healthy Eating indexes. This is something that if Americans Care about the health of low income americans they should care about this. And people on these programs tend to eat a lot of cookies, candiys, sugary snacks and not enough fresh vegetables and whole grains. Im not saying it has to be this program. The federal government allows states exexperiment with how they implement this program. Something needs to be done if you care about food related problems with low income americans. I agree with you. At love them are not because of the snap program or more because in rural areas as well as rural areas you have food deserts you dont have Grocery Stores with less fresh produce. We can Work Together on solving that problem. And work on stopping red lining people of color as well as rural areas and build Grocery Stores so people can buy food. Martha ask if we can do it a better way. Also a tremendous amount of food waste at restaurants across the country and perhaps, you know, there is something that can be done in terms of produce that isnt used day of and that kind of thing. I think to ask the question and to try to make a change, to make the program work better is not a bad idea. Thanks, you guys. Good to see you both tonight. Good to see you. Martha coming up, republicans and even some democrats push to fund the military in the last budget battle. But did anyone ever ask the pentagon what exactly they will do now that they have huge infusion of cash that they want according to the white house budget . Where is it going to go . Also new tension in the middle east tonight after strikes by the u. S. Coalition fighting isis may have killed several russians. The number could be as high as 200. Whats the fallout between the former cold war rivals . General jack keane joins me next on both stories right after this. We the people. Are defined by the things we share. And the ones we love.

Martha rising tensions tonight with russia. Moscow now accusing the United States of acting in a dangerous way in syria. Reports that dozens of russians may have been killed in a u. S. Backed attack in Eastern Syria last week. So you can see why tensions are rising. The u. S. Says that it fired on Syrian Government backed troops after Opposition Forces and u. S. Advisors came under attack. The head of the u. S. Air force Central Command is defending this chance encounter. This is executed from selfdefense. There was incoming fire, and we were with the sdf hunkered down. Not provoking and a force is massing coming at us. So were going to defend ourselves. Martha general jack keane joins me now senior strategic analyst and chairman for the Institute War general. Good evening to you. I think a lot of people look at syria and think we did a good job defeating isis so why are there so many different factions on the ground that are still fighting and it looks like its getting worse . Yeah, well, its a great point, martha. The harsh reality in syria is that the iranians who really run this war in syria and dominate the civil war, something thats been taking place there, they motivated the russians in 2015 to join the fight and the iranians and the russians have successfully propped up the assad regime indefinitely. They did that as of last year. What theyre doing now is trying to consolidate their gains in to syria. And they have a major objective here. They want to drive the United States out of syria. Actually, they want to drive the United States out of the middle east, which pretty much president obama was on his way to doing. So these attacks, while they have been smaller attacks up to now, not getting this kind of attention, these are attacks are done against our Coalition Forces that we have been leading that ousted isis. And its in southEastern Syria that they are taking place in. The fact that the russians used hybrid forces about a battalion size, thats like 500 or 600 troops in ground assault with supporting fires, that is very different. They clearly wanted to oust that u. S. Force that was there. They wanted to destroy it. And that did not take place because of very responsive air power that pushed back on it. Here is what is taking place here. Putin is using hybrid forces. He has some special Operation Forces in there. And he has some mercenaries, contractors and some other russians. Kind of what he did in crimea and what he also did in the ukraine. He blurs the lines between peace and war. He is really testing the United States here. He wants to determine, is the United States really going to come back at him russian assault or is he going to be able to put this under the radar in a sense that these are not forces that im in control of . And if we dont come back at him and hold him accountable, this escalation is likely to increase. Martha and are we is the next question . How far are we willing to go committing our people on the ground in syria in what looks like its turning into a russiau. S. Proxy war in syria . Well, our strategy in syria, i think, has been off, certainly i believe that strongly in the Obama Administration pretty much did nothing to help the syrian moderates at a time when we had plenty of opportunity to do them. And they kind of wanted to have a government similar to ours. Those days are gone. The Trump Administration came in and focused, martha, exclusively on isis. Never developing a strategy to deal with the much larger, much more complicated issue of syrian at large. Were just trying to cope with that. But heres the problem. The turks have got to front up in a northwest that they have opened up that may lead the conflict with also u. S. U. S. Led collisio coalition for. Just enreached on israel recently. They want to put rocket and missile bases, martha, in syria so they can fire on israel much as they have done from gaza strip and also from lebanon. This is a serious problem thats taking place in syria. We dont have our arms around it for sure. Martha thats not good. We will stay on top of it with your help, i know. One more question for you. Kim yo judge got all this attention for being olive branch for north korea. You say that she actually failed in her mission when she went to the olympics. Well, i think in terms of promoting goodwill, i think the north koreans accomplished some of that what she was really doing is immiss sear from king jong un to get president moon to come visit that would have been a major diplomacy victory. That did not happen. President moon had enough sense to say no, no. He did not accept that he said what you should do is talk directly to the United States. So that the issue of trying to drive a wedge between south korea and the United States did not work. Even though they believed that president moon had probably some leanings in that direction in terms of further diplomatic effort he has backed away from it. Martha very interesting. General, thank you so much. Good to see you as always. Thanks for coming in tonight. Good talking to you, martha. Martha so she is back and as promised she has a story to tell. Only omarosa isnt going after President Trump. She is going hard after Vice President mike pence. The Vice President s former press secretary joins me with his take on omarosa next. Extreme.

Yup they hooked me up. We helped with his llc, contracts, and some other stuff thats part of running a business. So frank can focus on the beat. You hear that . This is franks record shop. And this is where life meets legal. Martha remember this in the michigan courtroom earlier this month a dad going after viral sports doctor leah nassar who had abused three of that mans daughters. Can you imagine . Prosecutors now say that he will not face any criminal charges for trying to attack the former u. S. A. Gymnastics doctor. Larry nassar is serving life in prison. And she is back, folks, omarosa promised that she would not go quietly when she was let go from the white house. She is holding true to that now she is going after Vice President mike pence during her appearance where else would she be . Celebrity big brother. Watch. You would be worried about pence . Oh, i know. So everybody thats wishing for impeachment being might want to reconsider their life. Absolutely. We woulden begging for days of trump back if pence became president. Thats all im going to say. He is extreme. Im christian. I love jesus. But he thinks jesus tells him to say things. Im like jesus didnt say that. Martha okay. Now here mark water former secretary to Vice President pence who im sure probably would never be talking about this topic. She was hired by the white house for a year so she was there i want to also show you joy behar on the view because this was pretty priceless as well. Watch. This its one thing to talk to jesus. Its another thing when jesus talks to you. Exactly. Thats different. [applause] thats different. Thats called Mental Illness if im not correct. Hearing voices. My question is can he talk to Mary Magdalene without his wife in the room . Martha wow. Mark, what do you think. Let me tell you my view before the break you said omarosa had a story to tell she has a story she wants to sell. I will be honest with you here. Im not aware of any meeting or significant interaction she has ever had with the Vice President of the United States. Just because you Say Something on reality tv doesnt mean it has anything to do with reality. Martha so the word is that she was removed, she was fired from her job at the white house because she was using the car service, which is supposed to be reserved for emergencies, pretty much as her daily chauffeur to get her back and forth from work, right . I mean, i read those accounts today. Im not aware of them. Thats a big no, no. That car service is there to take some of the top senior white house aides to meetings they may have on capitol hill. It gets them to places. It is not a service to take you to and from your home. Martha i mean, piers morgan was asked about her today. He wrote a piece about her, actually. They had done the apprentice together. He says that she offered him a showmance they would have sex while the show was underway and they would make a lot of money off that one of the things raised when they look at this story and ask you about rob porter as well is the judgment of having this person in the white house for 12 months working with her own office in the west wing. Well, she was brought in to be the liaison to help connect the divide and do communications for the office of public liaison which does outreach on behalf of the administration to various political groups and to minorities. And she didnt last very long at it and many groups actually celebrated when she was let go. So its unfortunate that thats the way she has chosen to go out. Obviously i left the house, you know, under different circumstances but im proud to talk about my service. And what the president and Vice President are still doing to make America Great again. And i just find it really just disgusting that she is just trying to profit off of it. Martha i have the feeling we havent heard the last from omarosa and she will tell her story no doubt. What about in terms of general john kelly . There is so much discussion about how he handled this rob porter situation. And today we heard from anthony scaramucci, who i think was the first person that john kelly fired. He said based on fbi testimony white house chief of staff john kelly almost certainly knew about credible allegations of Domestic Abuse against rob porter at least six months ago then recently forced others to lie about that time line inexcusable, kelly must resign says anthony scaramucci. Your thoughts . I mean, anthony is someone who has some very strong opinions. And voices them often. And heres the make no mistake. There is only one person in the world who is going to decide hot white house chief of staff is. And President Donald Trump still has confidence and faith in general john kelly to do that job. And so there is a lot of people out there trying to read between tea leaves in terms of what this means and what that means. At the end of the day, rob is gone. John kelly continues to serve as the white house chief of staff. And i think a lot of people in the white house. Martha do you have faith in him as someone who worked in this administration . Do you think that President Trump should keep john kelly in that job . I do. And i will tell you, i was there when the transition was made between the former chief of staff and the general kelly. And the focus that he brought to the staff. The inspiration that he brought to the staff from his decades of service to our country. He is a formidable leader. He makes sure that people are marching in the right direction in service of the president. Im not going to defend i dont know the behind the scenes in terms of all of these kinds of recent issues, but i can tell you he shares the focus of the president to move this country forward and as long as the president wants him to serve as his chief of staff, i think he is the choice. Martha yeah. There is a lot going on. Thank you very much, mark, good to see you tonight. Thanks, martha. Martha so the olympics are chock full of stories. One family filled with the american spirit.
