pete: oh boy. ed: big dust up. pete: about your profession of journalism. ed: you told me to lead here because i thought i was going with the news. you want to come after the fake news. i might agree what you little bit about this. yesterday a dust-up about how the president does an interview with bloomberg news. he is talking about, among other things, this emerging trade deal with canada. there is on-the-record part and off-the-record part where he allegedly said all kinds of controversial things. when you read them closely, they don t sound that controversial the toronto star saying donald trump confirms the star story on his secret bombshell remarks about canada. well, what were the bombshell remarks? among other things he allegedly told bloomberg in the private part of the interview i can t kill these people, he said of the canadian government. and in another remark he did not want published trump said any deal with canada would be quote, unquote, totally on our terms. number one
hearing. ed: challenge that if that s the fact there are not a lot of hearings and say we are talking about surveillance of a suspected isis terrorist. there might not need to be a hearing. evidence at the justice department and fbi we go and stop a terror attack. in this case we are talking about an american citizen in carter page. let me basically turn it around on you. you shouldn t there be more of a check? shouldn t there be hearings if an american, any american, a democrat or republican is surveilled on by our government? that s a great question. this someone of the things in the inspector general s broad mandate here is to look at the fisa application process. and often when the inspector general comes out with these kind of reports, he will recommend changes. this is what we should do. this is how we should do it better. i think it s a great question and something we should look at. should there be more hearings and should there be more oversight and should there be more protec
used to spy on terrorists by the way it filters its way into a court system to spy on barack obama and hillary clinton s political opponent donald trump. and now we find out that there wasn t even a hearing? that donald trump s fourth amendment right to privacy, let me get this straight, was signed away with, what? a bi bic pen and swearing this stuff was true when it wasn t? this is the scandal here. ed, explain to me in common sense rational terms, please. how this is any different than the kind of stuff that happens in police state i don t think you can. rachel: i agree with you. the media is not interested there are very few reporters on this beat, frankly, and we are getting it piece by piece by piece. if we had gotten this information all at once, maybe there would be more shock. we are having to piece it all together. is that part of the problem? rachel, yes, it is, making it worse, the media
dan, nice seeing you. ed: it s been weeks since the dnc launched their probe into abuse claims into keith ellison. one of their deputies. but they have not said a word sings. doesn t the public deserve to know what s going on? what happened to transparency? pete: that s right. conservatives are being censored on social media. and now google is pushing liberal news outlets to the top of their search results. that secret algorithm, is there a solution to balancing things out? we ll answer that question we re just blowing smoke hey, yeah [ screams ] [ laughs ] whoa, whoa, whoa. your one item would be the name your price tool? it helps people save on car insurance. why wouldn t it save me? why? what would you bring?
trump. it isn t about carter page. it s about the trump campaign. these courts that are supposed to provide oversight of the secret spy process refused to do so. we have got the courts falling asleep at the wheel here and, of course, have you got the underlying corruption of the doj and fbi. and the leadership of the justice department and fbi are completely out to lunch in terms of highlighting and exposing and holding those accountable, responsible for that corruption. rachel: tom fitton brings up a great point. if you listen to the other networks. they talk a lot about carter page as this minor figure. no, this is an administration the obama administration spying on an opposition party in the middle of a presidential campaign. this is unheard of. this is bombshell information. and truly, in it wasn t for judicial watch and sara carter and catherine herridge, we would know nothing about this.
