Stumbling, brian with that question first with George Stephanopoulos the former vp has become more assertive. Mr. Vice president , what was your involvement in the investigation of Michael Flynn and the fbi investigation of Michael Flynn . I was never a part or had any knowledge of any criminal investigation into flynn while i was in office, period. Not one single time. Griff this raising questions after it was revealed that biden was in an Oval Office Meeting with obama when the flynn matter was discussed and the timing of bidens request seven days later on january 12th to unmask flynn. Biden also in an interview blasting attorney general barrs decision to dismiss the flynn case. The attorney general of the United States is not the president s lawyer. Its the peoples lawyer. Its a dereliction of his duty. Whats going on is an absolute travesty. A travesty of justifiable. That will not happen. Griff remember flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. Barr moved to drop the case citing fbi misconduct in conducting the flynn interview. Flynns Attorney Sidney Powell also speaking out last night. The government is the only institution that lied in this case. General flynn was honest with the agents. Griff we could see hearings on the hill. Senator graham is opening an judiciary inquiry into the russia investigation. Dont expect him to call former president obama which he said would be good for tv but not good for the country. Brian, ainsley, steve . Steve thats right, griff. Thank you very much. So the big question is did the white house play a role in the leaking, the criminal leaking of this information to the the Washington Post . Everybody is trying to do that calculus. And as griff just mentioned the president yesterday tweeted out hey, Lindsey Graham, first person you should call is barack obama. He knew everything, dont be mr. Nice guy. Lindsey graham came back and said probably not good for the country. Meanwhile, lets talk about we are hearing from two of the figures who did do some unmasking. John brennan and James Clapper. Clapper the dni and brennan who ran the cia. Here is a soundbite where brennan talks a little bit about the doj dropping the charges against mr. Flynn and mr. Clapper talking about how often unmasking happens. I think our country is in very serious trouble. When you have such blatant political corruption at the highist levels of the u. S. Government, something i never thought i would see in my lifetime. Its a routine thing. Its appropriate and legitimate. When you have a valid foreign intelligence target engaging with a u. S. Person. Steve so whats interesting about those two interviews is during the john brennan interview he was not apparently asked why he wanted mr. Flynn unmasked. That was on msnbc. And then, ainsley, on cnn, when mr. Clapper wars asked about whether or not he had leaked the video went dead and obviously he could not answer. But, of course, video goes dead all the time on these remote location shows like we are doing right now. Ainsley thats exactly right, steve. It is live television. When you hear from brennan and you hear from clapper. You hear susan rice saying she would accept the position if she were asked to be joe bidens Vice President. Jim jordan had an interesting comment on Laura Ingrahams show last night. He is talking about the swamp fighting back. Listen. They just keep on going with their narrative because they are so determined to go after this president. You know, this is a simple principal here. When you drain the swamp, the swamp fights back, even when they know theyre wrong and even when its proven they are wrong, they keep fighting back. Ainsley its the same players, guys. We keep hearing these names and have been for more than a decade. Brian . Brian yeah. Im just very curious what about a followup question you said you had nothing to do, joe biden for the investigation. Who asked for the unmasking, was it you . Samantha powers says i didnt ask for any unmasking. Seven times she is requesting. Is someone requesting in her name . Is there another story to this or are they just being dishonest in saying that they request it . Other big story is what is going to happen to Michael Flynn, almost every legal expert caught by the surprise to go to the retired judge to evaluate whether they should prosecute Michael Flynn. Which makes no sense to legal scars like mark levin. Mr. Flynn is first and foremost an american citizen. They used the surveillance of the Russian Ambassador and i suspect many others as an excuse to back door their way into eavesdropping on american citizens, particularly those who work for the Trump Administration. In clear violation of the purpose, intent of the bill of rights and the fourth amendment. What they have done to this country, the rule of law, the constitution, and now our courts with this judge emmet sullivan. And i want to talk about him in particular. This judge is a rogue judge. He is out of control. He should recuse himself. He is too damn arrogant and he wont. Brian rear fear i have for Michael Flynns welfare and familys welfare they will go into delay of game four corners offense before the 30 second shot clock and say wait to see if we get a President Biden at which time they can have a brand new Justice Department to take a look and Michael Flynns life just ends up in hyper space in an apartment somewhere wondering how he is going to pay his bills. Could not be more unjust, ainsley. Steve you know, brian, let me add just one thing. You know, that is one of the reasons why yesterday the president last night actually a little before midnight tweeted out hey, where is the 302 . That is the notes that the agents took where supposedly mr. Flynn is accused of lying to the fbi . Where are those notes . They cant find them. So, just curious its like when the shot goes dead, its one of those things that happenings, just saying. Ainsley the president [inaudible] that too. Go ahead, steve, sorry. Steve meanwhile, another fox news alert. Looking live at capitol hill where later today the house is set to vote on the democrats 3 trillion stimulus proposal. Nancy pelosi says this is just a starting point but its a big one. Were saying okay. Heres our offer. Lets see where you are. 18hundred page liberal wish list. Its a parade of absurdities that can hardly be taken seriously. Ainsley the massive deal would include 1,200 payments for certain undocumented immigrants. 3. 6 billion for mailin voting. 20 million for the arts and humanities. 100 million for Domestic Violence prevention. And bank loans and cannabis businesses. The white house has threatened to veto this bill. Brian yes, i need money to grow pot during the pandemic, Everybody Knows that. Today 11 states and d. C. Are easing restrictions for businesses. That includes new york. But only five regions have met the state criteria. Governor andrew cuomo taking his time withs extending his stayathome order for the rest of the state until june 139. Maybe he feels a bailout is coming he doesnt need people to work and build up a tax base. Cdc opening up new guidelines for restaurants and. For the Washington Post that doesnt seem to be good enough. Meanwhile people are getting upset. Its not just politicians. Its not well known democrats or activists. Its not right wing activists or republicans. Are people every day following the rules, listening to the experts, staying indoors, shelving their businesses and heard about bend the curve and then we hear about well, thats just not good enough. Among the people a little upset about that is dave portnoy who did an interview with forbes. Here is the headline. This is what dave portnoy doesnt get gets wrong in his rant about the coronavirus. I listened to his rant about the coronavirus. I believe hes 100 percent right. Listen. 17 years ago. It took me 10 years, a decade of working almost 2 24 hour days no exaggeration to turn the corner and be successful. If corona hit at that moment i would be out of business and everything i worked for 10 years gone and flushed down the toilet. Give me the choice then, let me go outside and risk potentially getting sick or do i want to ruin my business because if it was me, i would rather die from corona than have to start over working 9 to 5. Fight how are you going to get a job . How are you going to put money on your familys table when the economy is going to be gone . Steve so there he is on with tucker last night. Go ahead. Brian. Brian yeah. Quick thing, he didnt do an interview with forbes. Forbes did a critique of what he said. Which prompted tucker to interview him he said essentially my business is not going to fail. Five years ago, six years ago i would be in the tank. All the gyms are done forever if you have to wait another month as the governor seems intent to do. Steve right. [coughing] ainsley god bless you, ainsley. Steve the reason tucker booked him. My dave portnoy rabbit and at the verrant. There is a lot of ie for breakfast language in it so we will not be playing it up loud. He said right at the beginning a lot of people after i do these rants, half the people love them. Half the people hate them. But he said after watching dr. Fauci in front of the senate and watching l. A. Mayor garcetti talking about l. A. Is not going to open until there is a vaccine available. Brian nuts. Steve he said wait a minute, thats different than what we have been hearing. We have heard flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve. We did. Now its not just flatten the curve and social distance. Now it is after you flatten the curve were going to have to do is nobody leaves their house until there is a cure. And ainsley, that is completely different than what we have been told. He is a cultural icon. That particular video was seen by millions of people. Ainsley so many people follow his site. Steve every day people are doing what told to do and then somebody somewhere moves the goal post. Ainsley yeah. So many people follow his site. A lot of young people follow his site. Steve barstool. Ainsley he posts some really funny videos. I follow them. I agree like you said, brian, people are hurting and when you read all these articles about new york, people are closing up shop, they are considering whether or not they are going to be able to even open. Brian done. Ainsley its going to be so interesting to see what happens to big centers especially new york the epicenter. California is still closed. People are complaining over there because they were the first to be hit the west coast was. They are like how much longer do we have to go on like this. I get it. I get what he is a cultural icon. I dont know if he is a democrat. I dont know if is he a republican. Its not about politics at this point. Its just about people that are hurting. Brian common sense. Ainsley we can all relate to that story. Thats the american dream. We all did that, right . All three of us, so many people watching, you work your tail off from the moment that you graduate high school or college and you work the overnights, you work the weekends. Do you 24hour shifts like he said. You know when you hit 40 years old its going to pay off and you will be able to provide for your family in a way that our hope is to give our kids a better life than we had. You know, thats the american dream. And thats what hes talking about. We can all relate to that can you imagine if you are just Getting Started like he said, imagine you remember what you went through when you were 21, 25. Imagine if this hits when you are 25 years old and you are building your business or 30 years old and you just bought that restaurant. I talked to a lady a restaurant around the corner from my house. And i said are you part of this family, im not going to say the name of the restaurant are you part of their family . She said no. I just bought it from this family iconic family out in long island. I just bought it from them in january. She suretying. You know, brian . Brian its not an option of staying closed. You cant sit there behind the microphone and say see you june 6th or august 1st. And that has got the attention of joe rogan another icon. The number one podcast in the world. Ufc guy, standup comedian. He says if this continues im going to texas. Dan crenshaw answers and says we would love to have you. Thats what a lot of people are doing. Going to florida, going to texas, going to georgia. Going to South Carolina. They want a shot at being successful. They dont want some politician destroying their lives as they scramble for some type of vaccine thats 18 months away. We dont have 18 months. Meanwhile, coming up a little bit later. Another part of the carnage of this period in our lives are the graduates. They are not going through graduation unless you are in the air force academy at west point. What are we going to do . Fox friends will salute them with inspirational words from larry beginninlarry winget he tt is. Ben watson great message for them. And those who want to be cool and win the apprentice bret mibletion is going to be here. He have a message of inspiration. One of the great guys you will ever meet. Special performance. Steve indeed.
