Pete: felipe responsible for russia reset button. ed: be fair to him. pete: he said in there treating them like they deserve to be treated as an equal. that s such a difference between this white house and the obama administration. whether it s north korea, iran. even the u.n., they look at the u.n. and say everyone is equal. and trump is saying no. america is a strong, powerful country that should lead in this world and that really matters. ed: speaking of the obama white house susan rice is back. new book coming out that says she told the white house cyber team to, quote: knock it off when they floated various tough options to go after russian meddling in the 2016 election. this is fascinating because all we keep hearing is two things. that donald trump is as a candidate was colluding with the russians. we don t have any evidence of that yet number one and number two we are hearing donald trump as president hasn t done anything to stop russian aggression heading into the mid terms. n
Years, it s an upward trend which is positive. means more money in people s paychecks. you put that together with the trump tax cut. and the bonuses that nancy pelosi called the crumbs. it s interesting that in the last few days nancy pelosi started walking that back and saying if somebody gets a bonus that great. we re glad. this economy is pretty good and may have an interesting impact on the mid terms. you are right. democrats will have to re-examine their message into the mid terms if they are slamming tax cuts, because, most polls are showing that trump president trump s approval ratings on the economy and taxes are jumping by double digits, ed. so that s a big deal. and even though you may not like the president, but you have got to like his policies coming out of washington in terms of a pro-growth agenda, deregulatory agenda. it s great for small businesses. it s great for the stock market. and the economy. and that s what matters.
Fbi. pete: this is about the fisa court which could require a new pivot on that investigation. ed: true, involves many of the same players at the fbi and justice department. the bruce ohrs of the world. andrew mccabe, former deputy director. and by the way mr. james comey tweeting out there. getting ready for book tour. his conduct is going to be very much under the microphone. rachel: i understand what you are saying, ed, we should wait there is a good reason to wait for the ig report. get the facts so it doesn t look political. on the other hand, if the ig report comes out, we also need to do the special counsel because there are things that the special counsel can do that the ig cannot do. ed: sure. rachel: that is call certain witnesses. and so, you know, no matter what the trump administration does, it s going to look political. so, why not just get it out there. there has been so much that has been hidden that we don t know about that we would never have known about had hillary
This is a threat to our democracy. why isn t more being done by the trump administration? the obama administration wanted to do something and susan rice said no. ed, obama himself gave a pre2016 election speech. it s out there for anyone to see on youtube where he down played the russian threat. he said, listen, our elections are decentralized. no reasonable person thinks the russians are going to hack an election. obama himself said this. so, what is it, democrats? what s the story? are the russians the biggest hostile geopolitical threat to the united states since our inception or are they just a minor player that s not going to be able to impact our election? what is it? no media curiosity about this at all. they just want to attack trump and make him look bad. who do you think is the most important person that helped make that pivot from the russians don t matter
Going? yes. i mean, and they re entirely hypocrites on this. listen, obamacare was a disaster for me. total disaster. democrats position on that was hey, man, it s the law. have you got to follow it no matter how bad the stink level of obamacare was. when it comes to immigration well, that law, that doesn t really matter. why? because immigrant communities will largely vote just based on historical records for democrats. where they can give away, you know. rachel: dan, really quick. they lost on that. why would they double down on immigration when that s why they lost this election president presidential election. rachel, they don t have anything else. what are they going to run on? we are going to hike your taxes and take your healthcare and send your kids to a crap school? what s their campaign sign for 2020 other than illegal immigrants, please vote for us? what s their backup plan? they don t have a backup plan. rachel: they are short on issues. ed: you heard it there alpha ma
