Residents seen freezing temperatures. No relief in sight. Well have a full report straight ahead. We begin with our top story. Evidence continues to mount of widespread corruption conclusion at the fbi and a growing course of lawmakers say its time to clean house. You look at peter strzok. If hes going to say its his job as an fbi agent to prevent a certain candidate from getting elected and creating an insurance policy, thats somebody you dont want to have power. Anybody who turns up in that situation, they should get another line of work. I was so overwhelmed when i saw the conduct mr. Strzok and mr. Ohr and mccabe were engaged in. For an agency with so much influence over americans lives they have to be purer and pure. Gregg republican congressman matt gates joins us. Congressman, pleasure to have you with us. You are quoted as saying you believe there was extreme bias in favor of Hillary Clinton. By that, do you believe that people within the fbi deliberately and for political reasons cleared her in the email case notwithstanding incriminating evidence she broke the law . I believe there were people at the highest levels of our government in coordination. I believe there was an fbi piece and a department of justice piece. Certainly the tarmac meeting highlights the extension to which you had highlevel coordination. The good news is this congressional oversight is creating the transparency and creating change. Andrew mccabe Just Announced his retirement. Bruce ohr devoted. The more the American People learn about the prohillary bias in the investigation of the Clinton Foundation and the antitrump bias that my grade from this team over to the mueller investigation. The more we start to see change and the more the truth comes out. Gregg how about the exoneration statement that was originally composed by james comey, the fbi director. In the original version he finds Hillary Clinton broke the law. Somebody changed the language to absolve her. Who did that . And isnt that obstruction of justice if they did it for a political reason . The elements of obstruction of justice would be met if you had senior officials changing this statement prepared by james comey. That is the definition of obstruction of justice. There is a team of people that appear to have been involved in the drafting of this exoneration statement. James comey was involved. There were drafts sent around to other people. Well get to the got tomorrow of who had their nantd cookie jar as Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard. She got special treatment because she was a asked for president. And people at the highest levels our government were helping her. Gregg . You have any evidence that would demonstrate that . We are in the process of taking confidential witness statements. Last week we had Andrew Mccabe before the committee. After giving that sworn testimony Andrew Mccabe decided to end his career at the fbi and retire. There were inconsistencies with statements others made. We look forward to getting to the bottom of that. There are the mccabe emails that are evidence there was special treatment. Is there an email from Andrew Mccabe that shows Hillary Clinton will get special treatment . There are emails from Andrew Mccabe to other people at the Washington Field office. Normally the field office would handle this case. But mccabe sends out an email saying hands off. The normal process wont be followed. Instead we are getting a small group of people together at headquarters to make these decisions. Thats a kropt process and departure from the normal procedures and it reeks to high heaven of influence. Gregg did they do that to clear her path to the presidency . If she had been indicted under the original comey statement she werent have been president. But it cleared the path for her. Was that the reason . I think we still have more fact gathering on that question. But is that it was her status as a candidate for United States that put her on a different track of justice that would apply to any other american. No fbi director Going Forward should have the power to treat one person differently as a consequence of their candidacy for Public Office and particularly the please dency. What youve been pointing out night after night is the bias that favored Hillary Clinton open migrated over to the mueller investigation. And you see the same people involved in clearing Hillary Clinton now persecuting the president with no evidence of collusion and theyre clouding the great work that were doing. Gregg is it clear to you that people within the fbi, maybe the department of justice launched in 2016 an investigation of donald trump into collusion with no evidence of collusion, instead they relied on a phony dossier to do it . And was that an effort by them to sort of an insurance policy in case hillary didnt win, well frame donald trump for wrongdoing which doesnt exist. Well, that is the 64,000 question. And i dont think its a coincidence that you had real connections, real bribes being paid to the Clinton Foundation to facilitate the uranium one deal. Youve got the dnc paying a company to pay russians to tell lies about the president thats real collusion. Gregg she said it didnt have anything to do with the uranium one. Do you believe her . Absolutely not. The fbi director, bob mueller, has a key role in that process. The last report from the Congressional Researcher Service that went through this process highlighted circumstances where people at the fbi and the department of state would typically raise concerns about this type of transaction and that didnt occur here. That raises a lot of questions and its not a rare coincidence that at the rare time the deal was approved, you have the Clinton Foundation taking hundreds of millions of dollars from people with direct contact with the kremlin. Weve got to find out whether the whole fake phony narrative about the president and russia was created to distract the American People and distract congress from the very real connection that you had with the dnc and the Clinton Campaign and russia. Gregg im out of time but you have absolutely no confidence in the fair objectivity of Robert Mueller and his team . The American People dont have confidence. Thats the harvard poll that shows 54 of americans believe theres a conflict of interest. Its time for the attorney general to step up, end the investigation and call it the sham it is. Gregg and appoint a special counsel to investigate comey, clinton, and mccabe, the whole lot of them. Thats what has to happen. If it doesnt, this could happen again in the future with another president ial candidate, another political figure. They could get treatment that wouldnt be afforded any other american if we dont not have a special counsel. What this entire experience has proven is that transparency is the greatant dote to the lies that have been told about the clinton administration, the Obama Administration and now being told about the Trump Administration. Gregg matt gates, thank you for beings with us. Happy new year. Thank you. Gregg former president barack obama has made it clear me will not go quietly and had spent the last several weeks reeling against trump style politics. Today, obama caking a not so vailed shot at trumps use of twitter. Our correspondent traveling with the president has the report. Reporter while President Trump relies on twitter this holiday vacation, his predecessor is warning about the dangers ff former president obama advised World Leaders on using social media. All of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet. One of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. They can be cocooned in information that reinforced their current biases. Reporter President Trump relies on twitter to get his message out. He used the platform this week to ask republicans towork with democrats on health care, promised greater Economic Growth because of the tax law and complained the investigation into russian collusion in the tbeen election is tainted. President Franklin Roosevelt harnessed radio, president obama bypassed the White House Press corps to speak with the americans. President trump communicates with the world through twitter and he aseumedz office promising to use social media wisely. Im going to do very retrained, if i use it at all. Im going to be very restrained. I find it tremendous. Its a modern form of communication. Reporter though hes relied on it to communicate his policy positions and drawn criticism for retweeting antimuslim propaganda, arguing with a College Basketball player and goading north koreas armed dictator into an escalating exchange of threats. His tweets prompted questions of his cabinet and whether the president s twitter account is officially United States policy or undercuts his senior diplomats. Theres a lot of unexpected things that happened to us in the world of diplomacy. We know how to adapt to that open work with it. Dont view it adds an obstacle or hindrance or assistance. Whatever the president chooses to express, he expresse expressd then thats information to everybody, unincluded. Reporter the president used twitter to criticize his attorney general. In july he wrote that attorney general has taken a weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes. Chief of staff john kelly denied the president s tweets make his job harder as he says its not his place. I read in the paper ive been a failure at controlling the president. Im a failure at controlling his tweeting. Reporter in july the president defended his twitter use on twitter, quote, my use of social media is not president ial. Its modern day president ial. Make America Great again the National Archives has requested the white house preserve all of President Trumps tweets, even the ones he deletes. Gregg . Gregg thanks very much. Were coming right back with much more. Stay with us. Republicans are gaining momentum heading into the Midterm Elections while the democrats struggle to accomplish anything at all. Theyve done nothing this year. I dont think thats going to resonate in 2018. The republicans reign victorious in 2018 well take that up next. And the president could soon sign an executive order targeting the crippling obamacare mandate. Well take up President Trumps battle to end the obamacare nightmare. Stay with us. Well be right back. Blank blank you might take something for your heart. Or joints. But do you take something for your brain. With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brainhealth supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. Gregg well comeback. A big honor for President Trump. Israels transportation minister today announcing the country will name a new train station near jerusalems western wall after the president. The move comes weeks after the Trump Administration announced it was recognizing jerusalem as israels capital and in fact moving the u. S. Embassy there. As for the president himself, fairly quiet day. Visited firefighters at an unscheduled stop at the West Palm Beach fire department. The president thanking First Responders for their service. He promised to keep righting the economy next year. Weve broken 84 times this year, the stock million hit 84 times since we won the election in november of last year. So thats something to be plowed of. The stock market goes up, that affecting everybody. Gregg joining me now, Washington Times editor, charlie hurd. Great to see you, Merry Christmas all of that. You wrote a column that said it really is a Merry Christmas for most americans who work for a living and pay taxes. I think the key to this is that you have democrats even now pinning all of their hopes on the economy tanking next year and people not benefiting from everything that donald trump and the republicans accomplished here. But if this works out the way so many people predict that it will, the way the president predicts that it will in terms of boosting the economy, i think that republicans are going to be in a much better situation going into the 2018 elections than it looks like right now. Gregg nancy pelosi doesnt agree with you. I take that as a compliment. Gregg shes a wonderful member of congress that said of obamacare that we have to pass it to see whats it in. The dumbest statement made by any member of congress. And thats something something. Now she called the tax cut bill the worst bill in the history of the United States congress. Would you like to correct her . I just find that kind of amazing, especially for somebody whose party, by her own career, has been completely defined by playing racial politics. When you think of some of the laws that the odious laws that congress has passed in our history affecting africanamericans, indians, all kinds the japanese americans during world war ii and shes going to say that cutting peoples taxes is worse than all of those things . I dont know how anybody takes her seriously. I dont know why she is still in a position of power. I mean democrats ought to put her to bed. She should be the insurance policy that insures that republicans never lose control of the house. The problem is republicans can be so dumb they still manage to sometimes lose control against somebody like that. Gregg you pointed out she seems to be forgetting the fugitive slave act, the espionage acts, the alien registration acts. Im thinking nancy isnt that steeped in history much less knowledge of anything. Yeah. And more to the point, she doesnt care. Shes lying. She know knows shes lying. She doesnt care. Shes trying to say something. The fugitive slave act. Think about this. If you were a freed black american living in a nonslave state and a runaway slave, you encountered a runaway slave, you could be fined and i think perhaps jailed but definitely fined a huge amount of money if you did not participate in returning that runaway slave to the slaves owner. And somehow giving americans tax cuts and simplifying the tax code is worse than that. Gregg im going to send her your column in hopes that she may learn something for once. I dont know that she can read. Gregg look. I was watching another network today. My apology. Gregg well, i like to find out the insanity thats occurring els where and its good for a few laughs. So the political analysts said that the democrats are quite sure that theyll retake the house and apparently he based that on the general polling data across the United States, clearly forgetting that house seats are individually fought, and you know, rather unique to their particular districts. Its incredible. I read something in politico today, which is my version of doing of bravely wondering out into one of the other channels. Where theyre talking about the national, the National House race. And i cant believe this person got a job at a place called politico to report on these things and then turns to some National House race that doesnt exist. Its so important. And obviously there are going to be those areas Like Northern virginia where you not only have democrats that a republican is running against but you also have the antiestablishment antitrump republicans. There are districts that are absolutely where republicans now hold a seat where theyre absolutely going to face a very very tough climate next year. Gregg right. But again, if the economy is humming and doing well, all bets are off for all of these other places around the country that this National Poll is picking up. Gregg right. You know, antigop support. Gregg i really am going to send nancy your column. It will give her a nice break from reading her usual archie comics. Great to see you. Be sure to vote in tonights poll.
