Steve is it still on . Brian someone is going to be singing in prime time. This is a piece symbolic of what George Washington had outside his tent revolutionary war before they won. For the revolutionary war museum. Steve where is that . Brian its in around hillsdale college. Steve now you know what that lapel pin is a piece of history. Brian might as well get to the rest of the show now. Steve we start with a fox news alert. Several soldiers reportedly hurt in a military Helicopter Crash in the country of iraq. According to newsweek 10 u. S. Service members were on board when the black hawk went down. Ainsley u. S. Army pilots from the special Operations Regiment reportedly flying the aircraft back to base after a raid. A military official says that the crash is likely the result of a mechanical malfunction. Brian this marks the Third Military aircraft crash in iraq. It happened this year. The last one march killing all seven Service Members on board. The other happened back in february. No one died in that one. So wool find out the latest there. A lot going on in iraq in syria on a daily basis let alone whats going on the chaos in afghanistan. Steve this was not during the raid. It was on the way back. We will keep you posted on other details u in other news. John brennan who once upon ran the cia and insists he is not political. He is so steamed that the man picture left right there, the president of the United States, donald trump. Yanked his security clearance last week. By the way, what does the president think of mr. Brennan he referred to him as a loud mouth partisan political hack. Easily the worst cia director in history. Well, mr. Brennan doesnt like the fact that that was yanked. Enough to he is considering suing the president of the United States to keep him from jerking anybody elses security clearances. Ainsley got pretty defensive on some of the sunday shows. This is him on meet the press yesterday. Listen to this. I am going to do whatever i can personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future. And if it means going to court, i will i have seen the lights blinking red. I think i need to speak out. So i have been speaking out rather forcefully because i believe its important to do so. I dont believe im being political at all. [laughter] steve that is funny. Brian thats one of the craziest things he has ever said a huge lineup. After you see john brennan on friday night with Rachel Maddow and watch him on meet the press. He said i want them to talk more. I want them to know who he is. I would say this to john brennan and his supporters. I sense that people are going to look into what he was doing as cia director over the last four years with president obama. And i sense that theyre going to look at him and he might end up like andy mccabe, like priester strzok and this months the bruce ohr because maybe there are things that he has done that has him this chain acting in inordinately obstinate towards the i president. The fact is other people who are normally on his side have noticed that he has gone over the line like james cla clap per and admirable mike malone. John is like a Freight Train and say whats on his mind. But john and his rhetoric had become, i think, an issue in and of itself. He has been incredibly critical of the president and i think that has put him in a political place which actually does more damage for the Intelligence Community, which is apolitical. Steve right, its always been apolitical. Whats interesting about mr. Clapper, is he not fan of President Trumps. For him to go out and say look, john brennan is he about as subtle as a Freight Train or however that sound bite because, that is a step towards spy vs. Spy. Ainsley brennan was director under obama. He doesnt like this president and administration. Ambassador john bolton now the National Security advisor. He was saying, he is in israel right now meeting with netanyahu, he was saying that the intelligence communities needs to policy needs to be separate from politics or from what they are investigating. In the Intelligence Community. You dont need to mix politics with that. Steve right. He also did say, mr. Bolton in israel, he said that Going Forward he is okay with looking at the policy of whether or not when somebody leaves the Intelligence Community whether or not the security clearance follows them. Brian which to me makes more sense to have a policy. Hey, listen, i want bob gates, he served a bunch of president s, 11 different president s, what it is. I want him informed whatever is he doing over at william and mary. I like what Condoleezza Rice is doing at the hoover institute. I want her informed. You should be making that choice as a president. I want them up to date so they can call and say listen, im seeing some of this intelligence. I know the guy over in turkey let me make the call. I think going through that list of sally yates and others right now would diminish the president going at john brennan who is way over here. Michael hayden and others come out. Their criticism seems measured and thoughtful where john brennan is off the hook and uses terms like i once in a while get my irish up. Thats not a good excuse on behalf of the irish and im half of an irish person. Steve when you look at that lineup right there, peter strzok, why did he still have it. Brian i dont know he had it. Steve bruce ohr why does he still have it . He will be testifying before congress. You would imagine. Ainsley there is the list. John brennan said he might take legal action to take this to court to prevent others like this list right here you are see the faces from getting security clearances removed and their reputations dragged in the mud. Brian does he even know what bruce ohr has done . Yesterday he said its really scary that bruce ohr might have his security clearance taken away because is he in office. Do you know what bruce ohr has done he . Is supposed to be working a narcotics beat. Is he meeting with Christopher Steele on the side. For him to even bring up bruce ohr is he clueless what is going on with this investigation or willingly being my ive. Steve just one other thing about Rudy Giuliani was on yesterday and he said john brennan is thinking about going ahead and suing the president. Rudy said i would love to take his deposition. I would love to get him and have him testify about when he was the cia station chief in riyadh during Khobar Towers and i would like to know about benghazi and some different things. For instance, why did he support back in 1980 the communist who is running for president of the United States. How does that guy become the cia director . That, according to rudy. Ainsley all this news is breaking yesterday. We are telling you about it this morning. Also this morning a stronger together rally down in the state of florida. And one of the congressman down there Alcee Hastings made a very disturbing joke. Keep in mind is he a democrat from florida. He made this very disturbing joke at that rally. Listen. I will tell you one joke. Do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe . A crisis is that donald trump Potomac River and he cansd swim and a catastrophe is anybody [bleep] steve goes to show you the tenure of political discord these days making a joke about i dont think he ever thought it would go public but obviously everybody has camera phones these days, everything always goes public. Brian he is at the podium with a microphone in front of an audience you have to assume it will go pluck. Steve not necessarily. Brian im pretty sure the democrats are galvanized saying something inappropriate. Obviously he wrote that ahead of time. Ainsley he prefers the president drown in the Potomac River. Imagine if a republican said that about a democratic in office. Imagine if a republican stood up and said that about obama . Who be the outcry, would it be all over the other networks . Steve what do you think . We are on twitter and facebook. Ainsley never okay to joke about someone dying. Steve 6 10 on this very busy monday morning and jackie joins us for the news. Good morning.

Brian former cia director john brennan on the sunday news circuit blasting trump for revoking his clearances and despite all this air time brennan claims President Trump is trying to silence him . But our next guest could not disagree. Writing in his oped. This here is an excerpt. Trump is not trying to silence brennan the president s strategy the opposite. Here to explain Bloomberg View columnist eli lake. What do you mean the president actually wants this fight he . Kind of mentioned that on the us what lawn on friday. Why we want this fight . Well, in a lot of ways john brennan san idea foil for someone like President Trump who believes that the Law Enforcement Intelligence Community had their thumb on the scale when in the last year of obama in 2016 during the campaign and here you have the former cia director who has, you know, very shrill tones and using in my view a lot of hyperbole described the traders reactions as traitor, treasonous, et cetera. In that way its an ideal kind of conflict and foil for trump to elevate brennan in many ways as this sort of face of his resistance. Brian interesting to see clapper go out of his way in one sound by the to say he says things that got limbself into trouble and mullen said too this is not the way somebody in intelligence should be acting even though they are out of office. Do you sense some distancing in that respect . I think there is first of all, there has been, i think, some concern for a while now. I have written about brennan in his sort of new media personality role now for some time. And, you know, my view is that its, you know, i think that when he is interviewed, and he makes allegations and says things that, you know, the russians must have something on him. He has an obligation at this point to his viewers now that he is pundit to provide that evidence or he shouldnt make those kinds of accusations on air and should be, you know, providing that to mueller, the fbi, the Justice Department because those are very grave concerns. And if its indeed true and not just speculation, not just sort of the regular kind of partisan blather, thats something that every american would have to take seriously. So it kind of begs the question. I would say this. This strategy from trump, i think, could back fire if you see more people like bill mccraven who is, you know, the special operations commanders who oversaw the bin laden raid, is he far less partisan and political. The fact that he got into the fray this week to defend brennan, that could be, if you see more of that, that could be a problem in a lot of ways, at least for the officer suedable parpersuadable. What was he promised from hillary as much as people respect him and has the best commencement speech ever and over at the university of texas now. He might have a political horse in this race. Well see. We have navy seal coming on later saying the Navy Seal Community very upset he got involved in this. I want to ask you this. People on the left dont love brennan, correct . He is not a democratic lover boy. No. In fact, you know, in 20142015, because of a scandal that we have largely forgotten at this point, brennan nearly had to resign after Dianne Feinstein accused him of lying about the surveillance of democratic staff during the, you know, that committees report on the black sites of the cia during the bush era and also brennan at one point recommended that the Staff Members at the cia had sort of monitored in their research, you know, be prosecuted for violating their own, you know, rules in terms of handling classified information. So, brennan has a checkered past in this as well. I think is he a divisive figure also among progressives. Brian final thought, eli he was cia director when the russians were meddling in the election what the heck did he do about it act concern and give president obama to give a stern talkings to vladimir putin. Thats not really a strategy. On this point, in 2016 a lot of reporting on this. Brennan did try to sound the alarm. He was also senior National Security official in all of the obama years. And, you know, the Obama Administration brian he got very concerned when president obama was no longer president. Eli, great column as usual. Thank you very much. Brian straight ahead social media talk, facebook and twitter on fire for censors conservatives. They are not alone. Our next guest says he has been singled out and so has she.
