Have a winning in you. thank you brian. all right well there is new outrage in the jesse smollett controversy the state attorney kim fox is now being branded a liar by the former staffer she claimed advised her not to appoint a special prosecutor in the case. the former ethics officer said, quote, my advice was that first assistant joseph speak to courts approval and request a special states attorney appointment in this matter. the first assistant advised me that attorney fox determined that the motion in order not be filed so why didn t kim fox follow the alleged advice? to weigh in prosecutor bob, so first of all, how unusual is it for a prosecutor not to take the advice of that officer? i led an agency for six year, they re there to protect you to protect the integrity of your institution. and when an ethic office says to you, you need to form this out
Hear nothing. he is sleeping. kids are running around. i don t know what is happening in my house. brian: i will say he is so busy making breakfast, getting them dressed with eight kids. no way they could be sleeping. they were so quiet. could be two great scenarios. steve: his battery is dead. rachel: but i know exactly what is going on over there. who is taking out the dog, is the other question i asked. steve: what are your neighbors names? if the duffy s neighbors looking in the house, are the kids going crazy and congressman upstairs sleeping? rachel: they re hearing it for sure. they re hearing it. steve: probably. let s talk a little bit about the news of the day. we were looking at the white house. the big question today, what sort of sanctions will the president unveil against the country of iran. keep in mind his maximum pressure campaign has been very effective. the sanctions forced that nation into a deep recession this year
And while we are currently sanctioning more than 1000 iranian entities there, are some other ways we could still get them a little more. the question is how. rachel: that s right. president trump is warning iran, saying if you don t follow the directions that he has, as far as, not stopping the nuclear stuff and also stopping all these provocative actions, he doesn t want to to to war, if he does, it is going to be bad. i m not looking for war. and if there is, it will be obliteration like you have never seen before but i m not looking to do that. but you can t have a nuclear weapon. you want to talk? good. otherwise you can have a bad economy. no preconditions? not as far as i m concerned. no preconditions. you will talk anywhere? you can t have nuclear weapons. if you want to talk about, otherwise you can live in a shattered economy for a long time. brian: they did promise,
