this is something they know is not a good idea. the more they try to force the ideas on the public, the more it will backfire. >> the northern general saying the liberal media is just as much to blame as the fbi. >> very serious abuses of fisa that occurred which in my view have not been accurately reported by the press. i think our nation was turned on its head forward three years based on a completely boeing us narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press. >> former fbi target and trump 2016 campaign advisor george papadopoulos says he's looking into his legal options. more on the (chime) (shaq) magenta? i hate cartridges! not magenta! not magenta. i'm not going back to the store. magenta! cartridges are so...

abuse, that's an understatement, in the trump 2016 campaign left more questions than answers. but one takeaway is shockingly clear. there must be reforms to make sure insent americans are not getting spied on. senate judiciary chair lindsey graham is vowing to take this on. >> the court needs to reprimand and hold people? contempt. if they are not willing to discipline people who manipulate evidence given to the court, it will be hard for us to say the court should stay around. gregg: joining me, a man who knows how much fbi overreach can damage their rife. republican california congressional candidate, george papadopoulos. having read the i.g. report, it's pretty clear, you were

being spied on boulevard you even joined the trump candle pain. >> that was one of the most shocking elements of the i.g. investigation. i guess my name was brought up "in the investigation. were others spied upon. gregg: you were in ben carsons' campaign. >> the i.g. report states that others were being spied upon. gregg: have you ever talked to any russians. >> i never met a russian to this day. my theory is because indeed i had no russia contact whatsoever, they had to fabricate a russia story around me. gregg: you get set up with this nefarious professor character,

joseph mifsud who feeds you a rumor that the russians have hillary clinton's emails and they use it in the campaign. i have secured the criminal codes and it's not a crime to hear a rumor. the fbi in their own guidelines have to have a reasonable basis to believe a crime has been committed in order to open the vest investigation on the trump -- open the investigation on the trump campaign. they didn't have that. >> this is where things get murky. joseph mifsud, clearly bill a.m. bar and john durham are looking into him. he me as a sides from being an agent. and now he didn't work for the fbi. now durham and barr after traveling to italy resulted in

john durham's probe becoming criminal. halper was not a random professor. gregg: after mifsud feeds you the rumor, you get lured by alexander downer into a meeting at a restaurant. this isn't some happenstance drunken bar conversation. i think you had one drink. downer takes his cell phone and puts it right next to you, and what happens. >> this is why chronology is so important. april 20, 2016, the australian government made contact with me in london. done whrrp never said the word australia on the campaign trail. april 26, joseph mifsud drops this info in my lap. a week later the australian

government wants to meet over drinks and allegedly probed me about my own individual business ties and what trump was up to. mueller's team actually confirmed this to me. when i told them, i have no recollection at all about this individual having any type of discussion with me about russia. they said you did say something. i said how do you know that? they said what do you think? transcript. gregg: he recorded it on his cell phone. if alexander downer was there to record my conversation. how could crossfire hurricane emerge spontaneously on july 31, i think this goes back to 2015. and i don't think it's a coincidence that michael flynn had the same open raw toughs looking into him in 2015 as i

did in 2016. gregg: it wasn't the only time that it happened. so then the fbi's undercover informant stefan halper, he wants to meet with you and he does the same thing with his cell phone and sits it next to you. turning to page 119 of my book, witch hunt. the conversation goes like this. it's great that russia is helping you in the campaign, right, george? george. you and your campaign are involved in hacking and working with russia, right, george? talk about a blatant eve entrapt and setup. you denied it all and it's probably another recording device in the hand of the fbi or cia. >> i.g. horowitz had that

transcribed interview in his report where i am adamant that i had nothing to do with it. while's recording me, the fbi is monitoring the situation, it unless london, the brits know what's happening. you know why the fbi decided according to horowitz not to provide this to the fisa court? they thought my answers seemed scripted. so i think horowitz did a good job. but i they he's the prelude and not the main act. gregg: . it's clear from bill barr's conversation that that's where it's going. >> william barr and john durham took the extraordinary step to make two public statements stating we respect the i.g. and

we think he did work, but we refute his main conclusions regarding the legal basis for opening a counter intelligence investigation into the trump campaign. and he was only able to interview some fbi agents. but he wasn't able to subpoena witnesses and travel abroad and talk to the cia. gregg: stay tuned. the real story will unfold with bill barr and john durham. where is the media coverage of this? the made was was all over covington catholic. but not a people about this horrific video of a 14-year-old being beaten just for wearing a maga hat. but first. it was band under a 1987 treaty with russia. a treaty thankfully trump got us

improved reputation. during an attempted robbery she was stabbed multiple times. despite massive injuries, she managed to climb a flight of stairs where she collapse. a security guard called 911. she died a short time later in a local hospital. the nypd beavered up security in the park. some blame city hall for the uptick in robberies in the area. as the investigation continues intinto the death, her brother mourns her loss. he posted onliner. rest in peace. you are the best sister and friend someone could ask for. gregg: we are told a second juvenile is being questioned for the murder while police search

for a possible third suspect. we'll keep you posted. the pentagon announcing the successful test of a brand-new short-range missile. a weapon that was previously banned in the 1987 intermediate range nuclear forces treaty with russia. the united states withdrew from the treaty in august following years of violations from the kremlin. joining me kt mcfarland, author of the new book, "revolution." kt, great to see you. there is no points in the u.s. complying with the treaty if moscow is going to break the terms of the treaty, right? this is the natural consequence. this new myself isle that will be deployed? >> yes, here's the backgrounds to it. when i was in the reagan administration in the late

1980s. we banned, eliminated a whole class of missiles win intermediate, medium range missiles. but the problem was over the years the russians started violating it. particularly the last 6, 7 years. and we looked the other way. at the same time the chinese were not a signatory to the agreement and didn't have a missile force. but they have in the last decade started building theirs. the russians were building and the chinese were building and we were sitting on our hands. it was one of the issues i as national security advisor looked at this and made recommendations to president trump. gregg: explain the value of this particular missile. >> well, so there are two kinds

of missiles, really. one is called a what whris particular missile. it goes up in the air and arches and lands in the enemy territory. the medium range ones, they can reach europe. the russians have the ability to dough ploy them from russia and reach most parts of europe and also to the east. 's there is a cruise missile which operates on i different flight trajectory. these are ballistic missiles they are shot from the ground and they go up in the air. they make an arch and come down at a medium range. it's up to 1,000 miles. and we didn't have that capability. gregg: now we do thanks in part to you. >> well, yeah. but also thanks to president trump. not that you want to use that miss. >>it, but you want to deterritory other guy from using

it. if the points comes where we are in a negotiation, we have chips to play with. if we go to them and say we would like to eliminate these. dough don't have anything, we don't have cards to play. it's good for deterrents and potentially starms control. gregg: you were mentioning the chinese were not part of that deal. the u.s. and chinese officials announcing phase one of their historic trade deal. china will buy more are american products and in return the u.s. will not hit china with additional tariffs. president trump saying this is a huge deal. president trump: it's a phenomenal deal. the tariffs will largely remarriage. 25% d largely remain. 25%. and we'll start a phase two deal

soon. this is a large deal the china deal. this is good news for armers. what worries me d for farmers. what worries me is china's continued theft intellectual property. >> when we sat down with the chinese at the beginning of the trump administration. our economic was in shambles. it was flat lined. we didn't have much no leverage with the chinese. fast forward three years. because our economy is thriving, probably the best in the developed world and we have very low unemployment. and because of trump's tariffs, we have something to negotiate with. that's what this phase one is all about. i was in beijing and met with

senior officials. it was clear they thought they may be able to you wait trump out. we made it clear whatever happens, trump changed the conversation in the united states. republican, democrat, they all want a new relationship. what you are talking about which is the crux of it, the technology theft, transfer purchase, that's phase two. i think that's what trump does and is in a strong position to be re-elected. gregg: horrific videotape of a 14-year-old being beaten just for wearing a
