first, i have to say the dramatic reduction of 2.2 million food stamp recipients in the first 18 months of a donald trump presidency is a step in the right direction because we know that a family of four receives an average of $465 a month in food stamp benefits. we know that s just not enough to sustain a family. and so it s a win because these folks are getting back to work it s a win for the president. it s a win for the nation. i think there are couple of factors that contribute to that dramatic reduction. i think the president has unleashed free enterprise. unleashed free enterprise by implementing rules, by cutting federal regulation. by signing the tax cuts and jobs act. that did exactly what it was intended to do. steve: and, marc, absolutely. and speaking of jobs, right
they said you are too fat to play this pitcher. he lost 40 pounds and became a workout maven. he also took fifth place in a state wrestling championship. his coach said what do you want to do when you graduate he says i don t know but i m going to be famous. i m going to make a blank ton of money. i think he is well on his way. ainsley: i think i earned it. steve: along the way he developed those nine points and they are good ones. janice: what a good example. ainsley: he married they went through a divorce. said it was amicable. named jack in a speech. one day you are going to hear it thanked his parents. we didn t have any money growing up be we laughed a lot and still do. janice: great example for future celebrities and their speeches. i do kind of stay here? steve: yeah. why not? we have got another hour and 20 minutes. do you want to stay on the couch? janice: sure. i don t want to have another wardrobe malfunction. steve: disgusting cartoon being spread on social media with dis
you go back and look at the senate, he flubsd out of that the inspector general, it took four iterations, he actually had to go to the department of defense to extract out. this is the fbi. they couldn t extract their own emails and own text messages? come on. nobody believes that. steve: a number of your former colleagues on the republican side said, you know, the most damaging and damning of all the text messages was released to the department of from the department of justice to the congressional republicans the day that the ig report came out. that was, hey, is he not going to become president of the united states, is he? no. we ll stop it. the inspector general does this about the clinton investigation i still think they were wrong to not prosecute her. did they engage in fisa abuse? did they go and get warrants? that s a work in motion. been in motion for 8 or 9 months. that s where you ultimately may see people in handcuffs. brian: inspector general says confirms, reviewing
for michael horowitz. ,. they prejudged the outcome of the hillary clinton investigation before the investigation ended. and these exact same fbi agents and attorneys pre-judged the outcome of the russia investigation before it even began. do you believe this text shows political bias? i think as we found it clearly shows a biased states of mind. do you believe the political bias shown by this text had an effect on the initiation of the russia investigation? that s a matter we have got under review and are looking at right now. steve: okay. so, how would you grade his performance at answering the questions from the lawmakers? a-plus. we have yeah. the inspector general, i think, demonstrated you can do a serious investigation without compromising. it didn t leak out in advance. and he has now demonstrated some things that are really going to play out much more serious than.
