the nation s oldest catholic university. a group called love sacsa, a group that advocates that marriage is between a man and woman is now under fire from lgbt groups on campus. the group s definition of marriage violates the standards by promoting hate or intolerance. that complaint could strip them of all funding and ban it from using campus facilities. joining me now is dana loesch, and michael starr hopkins, democratic strategist who worked for both the obama and hillary clinton campaign. this is first. it s just astonishing to me that a catholic university cabana an organization that promotes basically the values that the university is founded on and has to ascribe to, the catholic jesuit university. i agree with you. it seems weird to me and i can t stand this tactic of defining that with which we disagree as hate. just because you disagree with it doesn t make it hateful. just because it is in your belief, that doesn t make it hateful either.

the clintons were explicit. tony podesta spoke regularly to hillary clinton while she ran the state department. secretary clinton is on the line. at one point in either 2013 or maybe early 2014 our source says a meeting was held that included both 20 podesta and a representative of the clinton foundation. explicit subject of that meetin meeting? how to assist uranium one, that s the russian owned company that owns 20% of american uranium production, and whose board members gave more than $100 million to the clinton foundation. as our source put it, tony podesta was basically part of the clinton foundation. apparently there was not a lot of pretending about this internally at the podesta group. according to our source, manafort was clear, crystal clear that russia wanted to cultivate ties to hillary clinton in the belief she was likely to become president. these links to hillary were apparently quite valuable to the russians. our source believes that the
and which organization in washington have spent years working secretly as de facto operatives on behalf of russian government and business interests. the podesta group is chief among these. they are more focused on facilitators of russian influence in this country, says our source, then they are on election collusion. the podesta group he says is in their cross hairs. we should note the obvious, many of the lobbying efforts are source described are not yet illegal necessarily and i told you a lot about modern american politics. but if true, the story we heard overturns much of what we think we know about russian attempts to influence american policy. we believe our source is telling the truth. we don t think he has reason to lie to us. the fact we ve been able to check have turned out to be accurate. if we believe our source has exposed behavior that undermines this country, but that unfortunately is common here in washington. we plan to proceed carefully as we report this out, but w
