Snyder men may try to prosecute. Trump associates, if mueller gets fired, could get prosecute prosecuted. Mark steyn is an author and columnist, great contributor on fox friends. To mark, why is it a big deal that the attorney general of new york has an interest in this investigation and is providing documents . Schneiderman is a political attorney general. Brian a declared democrat. When i testified to ted cruzs committee in the senate a couple of years ago, i cited schneiderman for essentially doing an end run around the First Amendment and using them Securities Law to go on exxonmobil for not agreeing with the democrats on climate change. This is a sleazy guy who likes politically driven prosecutions and investigations. And that is exactly what he did with exxonmobil, now what he is doing with trump. As you say, he has written a a blog post claiming that what all these acts he has taken as attorney general have in common is that they all go after trump. The attorney general in any system of cabinet government, the attorney general is supposed to be the least partisan member of any cabinet or any administration because he is there to administer the law. In which are administered not on the grounds of whether youre leftwing or right wing, but the grounds that you are a citizen equal before the law. Brian we wanted to see as americans to find out what theth russians did or did not do in the election. B so if you are seeing how many declared democrats who aggressively went after republicans are part of the mueller team, you might raise an eyebrow or two. Then you find out the attorney general of new york who has more access to any trump documents and anybody else is playing a role, former state senator, democrat who has actually been going back and forth with trump since 2010 after first asking for a campaign contribution. Right, as you said the point is to prevent trump being ableor to pardon these individuals. In other words, this is all about muscle. Muellers concerned because trump is the president , when mueller goes after the trump cabinet officials like flynn, in the end, trump can say, a im going to pardon the guy. He has gone to schneidermane to say, okay, i want to lean on them and they should know even if the president pardons you at the federal level, youre still going to be screwed over at the stateve level. That is actually a form of double jeopardy, as it were, for these guys. Brian it has gotten personal already, you want unbiased investigation, you dont work with Eric Schneiderman if you are robert mueller, even if you think that trump is innocent or guilty, you do not want the appearance. Er the president has come back with some beauties, calling him a total loser and a lightweight, called him revlon eyes, because he accuses him of wearing eyeliner. He has two separate investigations going to the trump investigation. This is personal, this is not professional. And now he is president and the attorney general is trying to make a name for himself. It is everything that an independent investigation should not be. O you have the guy, comey who, when he was removed as fbi director, then gets his mentor appointed special counsel, who then forms an alliance with a guy who has a history. An independent counsel is supposed to be independent. I dont want to be the unassimilated foreigner on you, brian, but in my cultural tradition, in Northern Ireland when they have to have an investigation for the decommissioning of arms, they got a canadian general, because he is not connected to any other players. When the Solomon Islands was in danger of going belly up, they got an australian intelligence guy to go in there. Turks and caicos, they bring in an english judge, you do not bring in a socalled independent counsel who is tight tied into everybody who keeps on the team a bunch of hardcore democrats that have been to hillarys Victory Party whoee brings in possibly the most partisan state attorney general in the country. Everything about it smells, and everything about it suggests that the real issue here is not foreign interference, but domestic interference. Brian think about the other probes and the other investigations. They sit back, and democrats dir criticize ken starr, but you sit back and you keep your fingers crossed, you try to prove your innocence. Karl rove, successful, scooter libby, not. They do not like the way that that went, they look back. This president is different, he says, i have a problem with the Upper Echelon in the fbi. Rank and file i dont have a problem with. I have a problem with the types of attorneys and investigators going off after this. Dont do that, well, i did it. Now it is proven correct, for those out there that think that the president is getting this the right way, i have to point out that people since a different way, on politico saying that the probes the witch hunt phase, the probe was such a rapid conclusion which attorneys say, it is fanciful, its going to continue. Mueller and his team are pursuing new leads, seeing new witnesses and collecting a mountain of new evidence including subpoenaed bank records and thousands of emails. If this is true, what is he doing . What does that have to do with russia . It has nothing to do with russia he has guys on things that were years before trump ever ran for president and a couple of guys unprocessed crimes, the most malodorous aspects of the fbi. We know that if we talked to the fbi for 40 minutes that they could nail us on something or other that we must remember. That crime should not exist. It is particularly ludicrous in this investigation the people are pleading guilty to lying to the fbi when you have things like an associate, whatever he is, associate deputy, deputy associate, undersecretary of justice who does not tell the attorney general that he is being meeting with Christopher Steele and the fusion gps guys and his wife w works for brian bruce ohr. Yeah, where is he not being fully forthcoming in the investigation . The department of justice can lie to us, but if Michael Flynn lies, that is it. Brian mark steyn, thank you so much. More elements to this, we will talk about it. In the house, here is a drama over the Infamous Trump dossier, yet the House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed john mccains associate. His name is david kramer. Seeking more information on the sources behind the dossier, kramer met with the dossiers author, Christopher Steele, the big investigator with the great reputation. That happened at mccains request. And then transferred documents, to mccain that were handed over to the fbi, at which time the fbi says, oh, i got these already. Mollie hemingway is a Senior Editor at the federalist. Bi tom bevan isnt. Hes cofounder of real w clear politics, and they both join us. Mollie, when we talk about this dossier, why is that of interest to figure out how mccain got it and why his associate gave it to him . There is a lot of interest in the role that john mccain played in getting the dossier to the fbi. We now know that the fbi had the dossier months prior to that and it was handed over in installments as it was being collected. Which is pretty interesting if not scandalous information in and of itself. This guy came in, the mccain t aide came in and was not willing to tell who the sources were. He says he knows who the sources were in some cases, but he wasnt willing to say who they were. That is interesting because, in some cases, we already know who some of the sources were and also what is the harm in sharing it . Why is he protecting thew sources . It is absolutely true that americans have every right to know who the sources are for each and every unfounded or unverified, salacious allegation that has spawned this sprawling boundless investigation. Americans have a right to know. I hope that he will share that information and that everybody would be forthright and honest when they are talking to investigators. Brian david kramer workst at the nonprofit mccain institute, so he handed f this off. En now, tom, we know theres personal animus, or there was,ig between mccain and President Trump because of the shot that President Trump took at him and maybe other things. So having said that, david kramer really has nothing to hide. If he just got handed the dossier, he didnt write it, and handed it in, what is the mystery here . That is a great question. I agree with mollie, he should testify, and theres no reason that he shouldnt be able to tell the House Intel Committee who those sources were, and we need to be able to know who the sources were to make assessments and value judgments about the veracity of the information. That is what critics of this dossier say, that it is unfounded, all of these salacious arguments, allegations are unfounded, and critics of trump say, this thing may be true, and they believe that a lot of it is. We need to know where the sources are and who they were and where the information is coming from. It is interesting when you go back to the feud between mccain and trump, he sent david kramer over to meet with steele after the election. This was in midtolate november and then proceeded to pass the dossier directly to james comey, so that in and of itself is pretty interesting that mccain would go to these lengths to do this after trump was elected. Ss brian we are about to find out, when the inspector general, who was put forward by congress who is preventing others from coming forward and saying, the role the dossier played in the unmasking of other people who worked on some level with President Trump and this overall investigation. The fbi perhaps is about to be extremely embarrassed at the high level with this investigation. Maybe we are about to find that out as many head for the exits including Andrew Mccabe in 2018. What is really important is for the fbi and the department of justice to simply answer Congress Questions about thent dossier and its use in securing a wiretap against a Trump Campaign affiliate. They have been really, really not forthright about their role. And that is causing a lot of problems for investigators, devin nunes, the chairman of the House Oversight committee sent a letter to Rod Rosenstein saying that all of the information needs to be turned over by january 3rd. They previously claimed that they did not have documents that it turns out they do have. All of this is very important. People are growing tired of thal obstruction that they are seeing. Brian tom, real quick, 35 pages long, among its allegations that russia has been cultivating President Trump, the host of the apprentice for ten years at the behest of Vladimir Putin because they knew he was going to be president and they wanted to control the country, it sounds plausible. Right, some of the allegations in the dossier are just, you know, so wild and beyond belief. But to the overall point, right, this document is the one that spawned thee entire investigation. We have been a year arguing over these cries of collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia, not russian interference in the election, but collusion, and so far we have not seen anything to verify that, and we are a year into this, and it will go on much longer. Brian mollie and tom, thank you so much. Have a great new year. Coming up straight ahead we have shocking stats on chain migration, how people enter the united states. We will review the numbers and try to get over it when we come back. Dont go anywhere. Dont go anywhere. Hey, man. Oh nice man cave nacho . [ train whistle blows ] what . stop it mmhmm. Weve been saving a lot of money ever since we switched to progressive. This bar is legit. And now we get an even bigger discount from bundling home and auto. I can get used to this. It might take a minute. Swing and a miss slam dunk touchdown together sports a we had the discussion about the wall with respect to the illegal immigration problem. You cannot forget that it is traffickers, smugglers, special interest aliens, and terrorists, all the same pathways. Organizations happy to sell their services to anyone. So we really need to stop their ability to cross. Brian that was me. I had the privilege of going to the border two weeks to go to the rio grande sector. Homeland secretary kirsten nielsen. Immigration, legal and illegal, huge issue in this country in 2017 and 2018, one year into the Trump Administration still a big deal, how big . According to a new Research Study analyzing Census Bureau figures, a record 1. 8 Million People entered the u. S. Legally or illegally in 2016. That is up 700,000 from 2011. Since 2006, the u. S. Has over 14 Million Immigrants because of a lot of it through chain migration. Steven camarota, director of the research for center of immigration studies, paul reyes an attorney and analyst. We will start with you, do those numbers bother you . I think that the whole system runs on autopilot, that is we are just keep taking folks, people sponsor, we hand out visas through the lottery, employers want somebody. They bring them in. But nobody steps back and says, what does this 1. 8 million make sense . What is the capacity for our schools and our hospitals, our roads, our infrastructure, how many people can we assimilate . These are important questions. And nobody is asking them. Brian i tell you, you have australia, new zealand, canada, they have a meritbased immigration system, in 1965, we changed ours. Dont you think we should reevaluate what we are doing . In 1965, one of the reasonse that we changed ours under the immigration and nationality act was because the old system tended to give preference to people from western europe andnc northern europe, so congress back then decided that they wanted a more an egalitarian approach, and what some people referred to as chain migration, which actually the americane Immigration Lawyers Association considers a term also known as the family unity principal. And that has been a bedrock of our immigration system since 1965. I do not dispute the numbers, the difference that i have with mr. Camarota is ouro interpretation. I say, we are admitting a large number of people through legal channels and some people are coming in undocumented, so meanwhile we have a 4. 1 Unemployment Rate at 17 year low, this is a historic low under the administration, thatoy shows to me in my view that our economy does have the capacity to integrate to these workers. Brian we also have anac American Culture to perpetuate. We should not be embarrassed. We should embrace it, and unique background and history, we might be running from it, what i found stunning is in new york 28 , in california over 30 . Texas, same thing. What am i saying . 30 of these households speaking spanish, not english. English is our national language, is that something for america to worry about . Not only they have the ability toto speak spanish, but only in their households. We can talk about the economics, but maybe the questions are the things that you raised. Once immigration gets so big,at it tends to overwhelm the assimilation process, because one of the ways assimilation works is immigrants and their kids basically get submerged in a sea of natives and their kids, but many School Systems in the united states, the majority of the kids come from a Foreign Language background. Often spanish, but other languages. What we have is a situation of about 67 Million People who speak a language other than english at home. This does not just create challenges for the schools, but it does in many parts of the country represent a real challenge to english as the dominant form of communication,r and we know that english ish one of the glues that holds the country together. Brian of course, so we agree on that. Absolutely, and you know who else agrees with that is when you talk to recent immigrants, people who have been here a long time, and this has been going on from studies for the nonpartisan pew center, the number one concern for undocumented and legal immigrants in this country is to learn english quickly, because they understand that if you do not know english, you cannot get a job. I you cannot function. You cannot be a part of society. We see that in our latino population. The first generation that getst here, they speak mostly spanish, secondgeneration maybe they are bilingual, by the Third Generation the spanish is gone, they are english dominant. That has happened in my family, my family background is mexicanamerican. People in my family do not know any spanish, thats the pattern we are seeing again and again, it is notan a threat to American Values are assimilation, it is just a different way of contributing to the fabric of the nation. Brian chain migration is in Immigration Reform over the past month. The Bipartisan Committee m alrey meeting. Chain migration is being looked at. Not just a Nuclear Family that is coming here, it is the extended family, and after a while, most of the immigrants coming here are all chain migration. Or now the lottery system is under scrutiny because a couple of these guys come over, and they turn out to be terrorists, so do you believe that we aree doing the right thing and reexamining all of the processes of immigration . G absolutely, that makes a lot of sense. Remind your listeners that if somebody comes here and is a citizen, an immigrant, he can sponsor a brother or sister or a parent and any Adult Children they have. Then after a few years, they cae sponsor. If you brought in your brother and his wife and children, then your brother or sister can sponsor her siblings and it goes on and on, thats why people use the term chain migration. But none of that is clear, does not make sense for the united states, because those people are not entering based on their skills on the need for the u. S. Economy or anything like that, they are entering because they have a relative here who sponsors them, and that is really the big question. Does that make sense for the country . Brian i will take this moment to say have a great new year. This is the number one debate. We will have you both back. Well, i will put in a good word with tucker. I dont have the power to bring you back. Vanity fair lashing out at Hillary Clinton, d now backpedaling while President Trump watches, laughs, and tweets. That story next.

Pick up a new hobby in the new year, volunteer work, knitting, improv comedy, literally anything that will keep you from running again. Finally put away your james comey voodoo doll. We know that you thinkin he cost you the election, but it is a year later, time to move on. So cheers to you, Hillary Clinton. T cheers to you, hilary. Cheers to you, Hillary Clinton. Brian kind of funny, that was vanity fair begging Hillary Clinton not to run again, it is called comedy. Instead of running, go quietly away. Now huge backlash with the subscribers attacking them and even burning the magazine, President Trump is taking delight in the magazine, tweeting today, vanity fair which looks as if it is on its last leg is bending over backwards and apologizing for the minor hit that they took at crooked hillary and the tour which is all said to beoo ambassador to the court of st. James and a big fundraiser for crooked hillary is beside herself begging for forgiveness. The president getting involved. Ethan bearman, a radio liberal radio hostst in california, wants to weigh in on this. Do you side with vanity fair and their attempt at comedy . Or the hillary supporters who are mad that they would try to bring up something funny about Hillary Clinton . I think that there is abo little bit of both going on in there. Nk vanity fair, light humor, this is what they do,bo this is there audience, some of it was upset, thats why they apologized. Supporters have a right to still be upset, she won by 2. 9 million votes. Furthermore, we have the grabber in chief, the me too movement happening, every right to be upset, but they do not want her to run in 2020, we need to look for younger and more diverse members of the party to step forward. But vanity fair did the right thing, issuing of then apology. Brian they took a political statement and they did sarcastic comedy on it. You might not think it is funny, but it is free game, you have to admit, her husband, they went after everybody on late night, nobody is beaten up by President Trump on a regular basis. Why isnt she open season . Even though she sold a lot of books, the whining for three months is not a source of comedy, usually. Heres the deal, if you own a business, brian and your customers are mad at something that you just did, you do an easy apology. Of course vanity fair is going to apologize. They have to keep their subscriber base. The president was factually incorrect in his tweet, vanity fair is doing justtis fine, the latest numbers i saw were 2 yearoveryear increase partially because of his attack on them last year bringing a lot of attention and people added subscriptions in support of Hillary Clinton and opposition to President Trump. I dont know why he is attacking them, because well, his attacks did not work, give them more business. Brian we know that they laid off whole bunch of people last year as well, the magazine industry has taken a pounding, but my feeling is this a magazine is supposed to have an opinion and stand for something. I dont know, vanity fair, not something that i subscribe to or download, but i think to apologize when you really did not make a mistake or spelling error is something do you see Stephen Colbert apologizing to President Trump because he went over the top or alec baldwin apologizing for his over the top impression . He is selling a book that is on the bestsellers list that just mocks the president. A magazine takes some subtle swipes at Hillary Clinton and the supporters go crazy. One of them, sarah jones, who is a writer for a magazine for new republic observed that criticizing Hillary Clinton is a guarantee that you are going to get days of really vile abuse directed atic you online. And it sucks. Really . Look, lets be clear here. You are picking out very specific people. Alec baldwin is making money because of his impersonation of President Trump. Of course vanity fair apologizes. That is saving their subscriber base. Av it is called a Smart Business. Why would he apologize . Brian it is not a sincere apology . Look, not enough people understand how easy an apology is. More people in our society including the president himself should learn to apologize when you are wrong or have done something to upset somebodyud else. Brian but what did they do wrong . If you have a magazine that takes a position that offends people, you dont have to apologize. Why do you have columnists . Why do you have opinion people, in your opinion right now, you tick people off, do you apologize . Do you feel compelled to apologize to people . These are different to target audiences. We speak about things that are controversial. Vanity fair does not as much, they did satirical like humor that is a Smart Business decision. We talk about it, president business, President Trump, we are talking about business in america. He is attacking an american business. Why is he not focusing on russia, turkey, and around iran forming an axis of evil in the middle east instead of vanity fair . Brian that is him and what made him successful in business and now politics. Ethan, always great to see you, have a great new year. The story you are not going to believe, mayor de blasio has never been one to take himself lightly, but this one takes the cake. In an interview with politico, he compared his political setbacks with those of mahatma gandhi. While he just won reelection in new york, he failed to provide the progressive vision. Democrats are not eager to be associated with him. Usually he is napping, perhaps because he does things like decriminalize public urination. Li he says that these democrats who are not going to him are screwing up by ignoring him. So every time somebody tries something and it does not work it invalidate something else, they might be doing going forward, de blasio told politico, tell that to thomas edison, henry ford, to gandhi, there is no leader who has not had setbacks. Downplaying his own setbacks, played up Hillary Clinton, saying that if she had listened to him and run a leftwing campaign, she would beg president. Perhaps it is no surprise an anonymous top democrat told politico the reason that he gets ignore is because democrats do not respect him. Dont be surprised if he does run for president even though his governor and his own party hates him.

New fears that north korea is developing chemicals or biological weapons after it a defector was found to have anthrax antibodies in his blood. President trump claims to anticipated the Nuclear Threat ive been saying it a long time, northkorea he had the video to prove it. Nuclear weapons, they are going to have been pointed all over the world, specifically at the united states. Brian that was on meet the press with tim russert, also criticized north korea saying, caught red handed, very disappointed that china is allowing oil and north korea, never a friendly solution to the problem, if this continues to happen, thes director of defense studies at the center for national interest. That was satellite video showing oil rigs pulling into north korea. Harry, first off, biological weapons, does that change anything . It is something that we have always suspected, brian, for the longest time. North koreans we have been talking about on this program for a while about them having potentially as many as 60 nuclear weapons, we know that they have as many as 5000 tons of chemical weapons, probably about 130 to 160 missiles but it seems clear that they do have a biological weapons program. It has been rumored and studied for a long time, perhaps as much as two decades, but with this north korean soldier having anthrax antibodies in his bloodstream confirms 1 of 2 things. Either it was a farmhand working on a farm that got it, thats one way to get anthrax. Or he came in contact with it or he was inoculated for it in the military, so we had to be concerned. These soldiers. Just a mess, we do not know what is happening, they are rotting from the inside. But the oil in china,t do you believe that these can be private companies doing something that the Chinese Government does not know about it . I dont think so, brian, the chinese have cheated on u. N. Security council resolutions. Think about this for a second, brian. This is the tenth United NationsSecurity Council resolution with north korea involving sanctions. Seems like the chinese have cheated on all ten of them. What President Trump did was a bold step to go on twitter. Its pretty clear the bromance between xi jinping and donald trump is over and good riddance. Im glad its done. The chinese were only going to help us to a certain extent. Brian building up our military presence, but we know that there could be a fight there, we have to show a willing to fight at the very least. Word is we will push on trade w restrictions and some type of sanctions on china, and we will get europes involvement in it to try to press this thing to a peaceful conclusion. But the Current Situation of going on like this is not acceptable to President Trump, nor his chief of staff, nor the chairman of the joint chiefs, all coming to a head in 2018, will this work . Pressuring china with trade restrictions, because they could follow back retribution and it could be felt in the u. S. And in europe. It is true, brian, the president right now has the right approach. We call it the python strategy, you squeeze the north koreanca economy as hard as you can. Remember this, the north korean economy is its weakness, onethird the size of my state of rhode island, if you make them feel the pain, it will work. With the chinese, look, we have robust trade relations with china worth 600 billion in terms of bilateral trade. But we also know that the chinese help the North Koreans launder money through their banks, help the North Koreans cheat on all kinds of security resolutions. If you are going to help the North Koreans evade sanctions and help them build nuclear relations, that is going to hurt our relationship, that will make them back down. Brian harry, keep workingt your contacts, by all accounts this will be the number one D International issue facing not only nikki haley at the u. N. , but us in the u. S. And the pentagon.

Excuses after you get it wrong make it all the worse. Thank you for almost getting it right, mark, by paying attention to the rules. President trump and north korean dictator kim jong un trading a lot of insults. Kim called trump a dotard and trump unveiled his new nickname for kim on the floor of the United Nations. What is that nickname . Lisa boothe. Rocket man. Brian lets watch. President trump said the r u. S. May have no choice but to quote totally destroy north korea, and he called out the dictator kim jong un. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. Rocket man obviously the elton john song, i dont know why anybody in the Mainstream Media is complaining, because he is calling, like you said, a lunatic a nickname. Dotard is the elton john song. Brian judges, 11. As long as i get one. Brian just to review the score, 11, we are tied. We move to question number three. Mark and lisa still playing themselves in this game. Playing ourselves poorly. Brian donald trump sent the Mainstream Media into a complete meltdown this year. [laughter] after tweeting what could be the most famous typo of all time, what was that typo . Covfefe. Brian is it covfefe . If you want me to say how to pronounce it, we have no idea. None of us know. We are going to let you make the call this morning. That is the glitch. Covfefe, you speak fluent french. I dont know. Does the president speak french . Despite the negative press. This is his best one yet. Brian what a year this has been. You are 100 right. Lisa pulls ahead 21, but its a typo sean spicer says was not a typo. O. How could he not just say he made a mistake . It is a great word. I love it. The word of the year. Brian use it in a sentence, mark steyn. I dare you. He can probably do it, he is very smart. Brian the chemistry you two have is starting to bug me.
