we want to hear from you, 877-225-8587.ha let not your heart be troubled. we'll never be the destroy trump media or establishment. that is our promise.no let not your heart be troubled, here is jesse watters. week. what is this, beat up hannity here? really? >> the same thing as last year. everybody does it. >> you are on the list, too, i'm warning you. >> i'm next. >> congratulations on filling in for laura tonight. watch the five every day. >> this is the "the ingraham angle" and i'm jesse waters in new york in for laura ingraham. we have a great lineup of stories for you tonight. huma abiden is one of hillary clinton's closest friends could be in serious hot water. something she told the f.b.i. under oath doesn't match what was revealed in a batch of her emails. plus that tell-all book on the

trump administration keeps falling apart. we've got the latest gaffe from "fire and fury" author michael wolff. president trump has postponed revealing his fake news award for another 10 days. no worries, we have our own awards to unveil tonight and expose brand-new lib ra hysteria about the president and the national anthem tonight. you won't believe this. but first, hollywood goes to rehab and hopes we'll move back after the movies, after the worst domestic ticket sales in 25 years. tinsel town tried to rehabilitate its image at the golden globes last night. the first award show since the 2017 sex scandals. nearly all the women wore black. perhaps appropriate for a funeral where hollywood tried to bury its past since. the mainstream media responded with rave reviews. did the movie making elite accomplish anything other than making themselves feel better

about their tarnished industry? let's get into that with millennial blogger in dallas, in washington attorney, a vice president at the center for american progress. and here in new york, fox news contributor david webb. david, i'll start with you. so this weinstein deal, this has been an open secret for three decades. doesn't take a lot of bravery to come out and say me too. they are a day late and a dollar short. >> it's a #campaign. the liberal left. let's put a hashtag on it trying to cover the black eye with the black gowns. they aren't talking about the issue. what have they actually done? in the news today have you heard one thing about rose mcgou an or charlie rose, matt lauer?

>> if you want to be brave you name names. they didn't do any of that. to say like they have the moral high ground, that's been squandered don't you think? >> well, actually i think that congratulations are in order for these celebrities, jesse. i want to say congratulations to hollywood for finally realizing what we poor ignorant backwards conservatives have been saying for years, that moral relativism especially in relation to sex and sexuality leads to bad things and that includes sexual assault and sexual harassment. so great job celebrities for finally catching up with the rest of us. you guys deserve a pat on the back, oh wait, you guys are already doing that. that's the only thing that you did last night which really gets to the heart of my whole problem with it is that hollywood seems completely incapable of standing up for a good cause without self-righteously preaching to the rest of us about it. you already mentioned that this was their sin. i disagree they were trying to

bury it. they were trying to project it on the rest of us trying to turn this industry peddling sexual promiscuity for years into a pulpit from which they'll preach to the rest of us how to live our lives. no, i'm not here for it. >> do you understand the hypocrisy for hollywood to lecture america on sexual morality. like bill clinton giving seminars on sexual harassment in the workplace. not the best front man. >> i have to laugh because when you think about the history of red carpet events and the history of the golden globes, art and fashion has always been political whether you are talking about in the 60s and 70s or in the 90s with the aids ribbons. to pretend that all of a sudden you are seeing this activism and this is the first time, that would just be historically inaccurate. >> how deep does the activism go? it's one thing to do the

hashtag and the costume dress-up. but really, are they putting their money where their mouths are? i don't think so. >> no, they aren't putting their money where their mouths are. hollywood has always been political. the red carpet is political. they were on aids like that. remember magic johnson, the red carpets. you said in the beginning this was 30 years of harvey weinstein. guys, you are 30 years too late to this party and unfortunately the victims haven't had 30 years of victimizing. >> are we saying there is no time to do the right thing? i think -- >> this isn't about -- this is about 30 years of waiting to do the right thing. for 30 years hollywood knew what was going on and they put up with this. by the way, optics last night, meryl streep, what a hypocrite. this is meryl streep who heaped prays on roman polanski who drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl and then ran from the

united states and there is meryl streep. that's bad optics there. >> then she shows up with the president of the workers alliance. >> one night of doing something right. this is one night of doing something right. no one is saying that wearing black is a bad thing but my point is that i'm not really concerned with what the celebrities look like. i'm more concerned with internal honesty. wouldn't it have been more appropriate than these celebrities joking about sexual harassment and giving us their self-serving sanctimonious diatribes. about how an apology for the part they played in perpetuating this corruption of their industry through this image of sex and power. >> i will agree with you if we're only talking about clothes a week from now then i have a problem. what i do hope tomorrow brings

is activism. what it brings is protests and movement and people actually doing things and moving policy. quite frankly time is up. >> testimony because protests aren't going to get this problem solved. >> that's actually putting your money where your mouth is. >> and you know what? >> i don't know if we'll be talking about anything besides oprah because oprah stole the show last night and no one is really talking about sexual harassment. everybody is talking about oprah winfrey running for president. i think we have some sound of the oprah mania from last night. can we roll that? >> breaking news. oprah winfrey actively thinking about running for president. >> the one thing winfrey has is star power. you could close your eyes and imagine that speech being given in iowa, let's say, right?

or campaign kickoff. >> it was a very presidential speech. >> her speech last night amazing. you couldn't help jump off your soef oh with her, right? >> this could be her defining moment to possibly run for president. >> i love oprah winfrey and admire and respect her. she gives one speech about sexual assault and we are going to hand her the codes to the nuclear football. that's what the media wants. >> let me tell you this america, you are being punked by hollywood. the fact is go back to the black gowns, go back to the lack of any discussion today, lack of any activism. i'll go with you on that. because oprah winfrey is simply deflection from what hollywood has done. less than one year into the trump presidency and we are supposed to sit here and start talking about oprah winfrey running for president. nbc puts up a tweet. i read it on the way to my

radio show. two hours into show they take it down after they endorse oprah winfrey. they endorse her for the president. america, you are being punked. let's get to the issues that matter. >> she is a self-made billionaire. broad mass appeal. she appeals to middle america. she can fundraise. there is a real threat of an oprah candidacy if she decides to run. you would have to admit she would do a lot better than pocahontas or crazy bernie. >> i think so. it sounds a lot like donald trump. the people wanting her to run for president criticized donald trump for being a celebrity and having no experience whatsoever. what is it? do you want a celebrity to run or not? it's fine if she wants to throw her hat in the ring.

anyone can run for president. if she wants to do it, fine. i won't be voting for her. >> michelle, are you excited about the candidacy of oprah winfrey and if so, what's the first plan on the border and isis and what's her plan on nafta? >> i'm always excited about anything that has to do with oprah winfrey. i think the reason why people are so excited and talking about her today is that she inspired the country again and there was a moment where we all collectively believed in something together and it was the aspiration that we come to expect from our leaders. and that's something that is desperately missing from this president and it is desperately needed today. that's why you have the #oprah 2020 because we want leadership. >> she was definitely a captivating speaker last night and so captivating for so many years. even donald trump was considering putting her on the

ticket in 1999 when he was flirting with running for president. i think we have some sound. let's hear it. >> vice presidential candidate in mind? >> well, i really haven't gotten quite there yet. i love oprah. oprah would always be my first choice. if she would do it she would be fantastic. she is popular, brilliant, a wonderful woman. if she would ever do it. i don't know if she would ever do it. like me, i have a lot of things going. she has a lot of things going. it would be a pretty good ticket. she is a very exceptional woman. >> trump is always ahead of the curve. i would love to see the trump nickname for oprah if she got in the race. we actually have a new report from peter alexander, nbc news hot off the press. a source close to oprah tells , no as of today she has no intention of running for president in 2020. it is not happening.

she has no intention of running. >> somebody tell nbc. >> it's over. it was a good day. >> oprah is done. >> she is out. now it gets back to warren and biden and bernie. see you later. >> thanks. >> later on we'll take a look at one of the stranger stories to come out of the golden globes. do you believe in nbc tweet endorsing oprah for president was really a mistake? it took 14 hours to take it down. up next the president said first it was fake news, now it is a fake book. corey lewandowski joins us to discuss glaring contradictions by the author of the new book on trump. and the new left says the president doesn't know the words to the national anthem. stay with us. the great emperor penguin migration. trekking a hundred miles inland

that is alive every day in the white house, end quote. but then he had this to say this morning. >> did you speak with any members of the president's cabinet for this book? >> i did not. >> you didn't. >> did you speak with the vice president? >> i did not. >> a little bit of a guest issue. david webb has agreed to stick around and join us again and in our nation's capital is david goodfriend who was deputy secretary to president bill clinton, chief of staff. now, this guy never even interviewed the vp, never interviewed the cabinet officials. i don't think he ever interviewed any of the first family that he talked to ivanka, or eric or don junior. a lot of this stuff doesn't ring true, david. how much of this do you think is just pure fiction? >> this is why i don't dive into stories of palace intrigue.

they are often way overblown. he says he spoke initially gave the impression that he had spoken to everyone. that he had this unfettered access and he could walk around. maybe he did for a little bit. you've been in the west wing. i've been in the west wing. it isn't that easy to go in and out of rooms and now he can't answer pointed questions. these questions were never asked before the book came out. they just took it as "fire and fury", a trump administration in its demise going down in flames. what's going down in flames is another author who wrote another book that is salacious like a bad soap opera except this one won't be back in reruns. >> jesse: david, the other david, let me ask you a question. i don't understand how this makes sense. the central premise of the book is that trump didn't want to win the election. so if he didn't want to win the election, why was he colluding with the russians to win the election? i don't get it.

>> yeah. there is a lot of kind of weird questions that pop up around this book. i would be the first to say that as well. it remind me when i worked in the clinton white house you had people who would leave the white house and write the expo say book which i thought was betraying the privilege of having worked in the white house. i think here, too, we should just assume. i will assume that 50% of everything in that book is just flat out wrong. just write it off 50% of it. we don't know which 50%. in my view if only 50% of what's been said in this book is real, it is incredibly damaging and all you have to do is look at the president's own reaction. if somebody said something about me that's a lie i would blow it off. i don't react. this president became the first president in u.s. history to pronounce i'm sane, really, i am. that makes me think he is protesting a little too much. he should be quiet. >> jesse: why the president has to say something like that.

cnn, abc, cbs and nbc spend 48 hours bringing up shrinks saying the president of the united states is crazy and then he is asked to respond to that, the headline then becomes the president defends his sanity. that's how the media plays these games. think about it. >> that's what the media does. >> fox news people said barack obama isn't really a citizen of the united states. it was crazy. now president obama didn't jump out and say i'm really a citizen, really, i am, here i am. no. >> i don't know who on fox news said that, david. i can't name one person on fox news that said that. eventually he did produce his birth certificate. >> actually it's raising the sales of the book. now the book is becoming a best seller precisely because trump is talking about it. >> jesse: that's true, the book is through the roof now and maybe why corey didn't come on the show tonight. it maybe knocked his book down a few rungs off "the new york times" best seller list.

it is so funny to be called insane by the left who is screaming at the sky, who is wearing hats with genitalia. bernie sanders thinks global warming is more of a threat than isis. if anybody is insane it's people on the other side. >> this compendium of what's false and what's true. all these things they've said about trump. he delayed the fake news award until next week. i don't care about that. i care about policy. that's what i care about that. they put all this stuff at him and you attack the man, his family and his wife and his daughter. representative cowen attacks an 11-year-old, barron, his son on twitter. what do you expect a father to do? when president trump became president he didn't give up his right to say what's on his mind. no president is or does. i like a guy who is going to fight. i'm sick of the left throwing

punches and the republicans -- >> i'll send you guys a box of tissues and wipe your tears. >> let me tell you, david, you are a good man but i'm like trump. >> jesse: i want to play some new sound that's coming in. there is this new attempt to undermine president trump that is just unfolding tonight. he is at the college foot ball national championship this evening. he took the field for the anthem and sang along. but now people on the left are claiming he doesn't know the words to the national anthem. all right. first we'll show you the clip that's making the rounds on twitter and then we have an edited shot to show you from when he sang the whole thing word for word. take a look. >> what so proudly we hail at the twilight's last gleaming ♪ ♪ o say does that star-spangled

banner yet wave ♪ >> jesse: i don't know if you could see the video there, good friend. the guy is singing along with the national anthem and now the top trend on twitter is saying trump doesn't know the words to the national anthem. i mean, give it a rest. >> i looked at the video. you take a look for yourself and from my viewpoint sometimes he is singing along and sometimes he is not. sometimes his lips are moving and sometimes they aren't. i don't know if that means he doesn't know the words. you are jumping to conclusion. >> jesse: do you think the president of the united states doesn't know the words to the national anthem? >> no, i think he doesn't like to sing probably. >> jesse: that's smart. i don't like to sing, either. it's not because i don't know the words. >> the problem is the left is

-- hang on, david. the left assigns a value if he doesn't know. it's what they did to reagan. he is a dumb actor, he doesn't know what he is doing. they assign these values to people because it fits their narrative just like they went out and said the president was being booed so i listened to it. i watched it live and i rewound it and watched it and rewound it and watched it and i'm sitting there listening to this and the first thing i said was the left will come out and say he doesn't know the words when they know nothing. like a psychiatrist who knows he is crazy but has actually never talked to him. >> jesse: there is no way the president of the united states, republican donald trump is getting booed when georgia is playing alabama down in atlanta. guys, i have to run, though. i have to run. >> jesse: you have to love alabama they elected a democrat to the senate. there is hope for them yet. >> jesse: hillary's right hand

ned, i'm sorry about that. we know who he is and see what he looks like. now i guess the allegation is that huma lied under oath to the f.b.i. and mishandled classified information and even disseminated classified information to her sex offender ex-husband. are we going to have to lock her up now with her ex-husband? hasn't she been through enough? >> not at all in my opinion. i don't know what you want to go through. let me be clear with you. i'm not concerned about her being charged with perjury. whatever her inconsistent statement was it had no material effect on the outcome of the investigation. nor will the f.b.i. go back or d.o.j. go back and take a look at that. what emails did she say she backed up? the same emails from the state department. they shut down the investigation? why? no material difference or impact. whether you agree with that or not that's what the law is. politically it may sound crazy

to you but legally as a former prosecutor, not a prosecutor in this country will go back and prosecute her for perjury. >> jesse: not telling the truth to some other attorneys. go ahead, ned. >> first of all, jesse. no normal america is going to have top secret emails on their computer. she knowingly forwarded and knowingly backed up the emails on her personal computer. this was intentional. you look at what the -- how the clintons and cronies acted. for them there was a different set of rules. for them the law was like a series of suggestions they could either follow or not follow at their convenience. and to lie to a federal agent. this is one of my biggest issues, jesse. general michael flynn was -- pled guilty to lying to a federal agent. so if michael flynn is guilty, cheryl mills and huma abiden are also guilty. if they aren't guilty, why is

he guilty? i think this speaks to a much bigger issue we're dealing with in our country of a rule of law. we have a bifurcated justice system. some are guilty or not. if they're not it's because of their last name. >> jesse: regardless of what you think about what our guest said i think most americans believe there are a different set of rules for people in power in the swamp and regular americans. >> there certainly aren't. there aren't different sets of standards. >> jesse: if it wasn't named abiden or clinton they'd be behind bars. i think she has been through enough. she was married to anthony wiener for 10 years. hasn't she done enough time? >> d.o.j. and f.b.i. won't go back and look at this once she has been cleared but what was her inconsistent statement about. whether she backed up the emails?

she backed up the emails. they weren't new, the same state department emails she testified to. >> there were 18 classified emails that were found on anthony wiener's laptop. >> they were backed up. >> jesse: that's against the law just there. hold it, ned. >> doj and f.b.i. >> jesse: let me broaden it out. you have this issue and then you have the dossier that was paid for to dig up fake dirt on trump with the russians. then you have uranium one and now you have pay to play at the clinton foundation being looked at by the d.o.j.. >> allegations. >> jesse: they're looking at it. that's two, three, four issues, hezbollah, they go soft on hezbollah to do the iran deal. >> allegations. >> jesse: it involved hillary clinton that are being looked at by the department of justice. that's a lot considering that

most of the allegations are regarding donald trump and they haven't found anything on him. >> they haven't found anything and doing this investigation -- >> jesse: one at a time. one at a time. ned, you can respond. >> you know what? i think a lot of us find highly suspect any investigations done under the d.o.j. under eric holder and loretta lynch and the f.b.i. with james comey because of the political nature that i think the d.o.j. and f.b.i. were under under those three and their leadership. i think we need to go back. conclude these investigations and get to the bottom of it. was it is pay the play scheme? was the clinton foundation a slush fund? why did the uranium one deal take place? if you look at some stuff taking place the bruce ohr, the number four guy at d.o.j. whose wife was hired by fusion gps to investigate donald trump. he didn't mention it to anybody even though he met with

christopher steele and glenn simpson. the only silver lining in this entire mueller investigation has shown us where the real investigation needs to happen under a highly political and corrupt d.o.j. and f.b.i. under the obama administration. >> jesse: scott, you have the last word. 30 seconds. >> under the trump administration you don't think d.o.j. is corrupt? let me get this right. you want jeff sessions to investigate hillary clinton and other issues regarding hillary clinton, the same d.o.j. or attorney general who at trump rallies chanted lock her up, lock her up. lock her up. now i'm glad we're in the political space talking about this. that dog won't hunt in the legal space and it is not going to happen. they have been cleared. hillary clinton and her huffs have been investigated over 300 times. with new evidence. hillary clinton and her husband have been investigated at least 100 times. you know what? they've never been charged, prosecuted, never been indicted.

>> because they have gotten a lot of special treatment and that's definitely been looked at and admitted to by the f.b.i. and the d.o.j.. guys. we have to run. i'm sure we'll be talking about clinton scandals for another year or so. >> it's good tv. >> jesse: you'll have to wait nine days to hear president trump's fake news award. you only have to wait a minute or two to hear our own awards for media mischief so stay right there. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. it takes a lot of work but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i don't eat the way i should. so, i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle

>> jesse: president trump has delayed his fake news awards until a week from wednesday. what? that doesn't mean we don't have to wait. we'll hand out our own media awards tonight. these are just from the last two days. we're going to recognize the work of such luminaries carl bernstein and mika brzezinski. our lack of impartiality award goes to nbc. they called oprah our future president and took 14 hours to take the tweet down. nbc blamed some mysterious third party for posting the tweet. we wouldn't want to get the impression that the peacock network is rooting against president trump or anything. let's bring in fox news host of media buzz, howard kurtz in our

washington studio. howard, this is like blaming the intern except they're blaming a third party. i don't know what that means. what is a third party? >> i think we need a special prosecutor. a parity of a left wing organization. particularly the our president part and the thing about it is, you know, what this suggests to me is the 14-hour delay. either nbc executives were up all night partying and too out of it to do anything until noon and they didn't realize there was anything wrong with it until they got criticism in the press. >> jesse: i think the nbc franchise says trump tax cut wasn't going to help workers and then nbc after the trump tax cut passed started giving out $1,000 bonus checks to workers for christmas. they haven't had a great track record over there at nbc. but you know what? that's who they are and i think they are just in it for the

money and the ratings. >> unlike everybody else in television. >> jesse: we don't care about the ratings at all. let's get to our next award. remember carl bernstein, the other watergate reporter, the one whose career took a different turn that bob woodward's. some people want to hear what he has to say. this is why he wins our words have no meaning award. roll it. >> yes, we're in a real constitutional crisis in an unprecedented place. how do we deal with this? are we in a constitutional crisis, speaker ryan, leader mcconnell? we need to keep our heads down and just keep going after the story and stay calm about it and recognize we are in a constitutional crisis and we have a special responsibility. >> jesse: did you get that? there is a constitutional crisis. >> i kind of was getting that impression. carl bernstein attacks president trump just about every day or every week.

he has called him a liar, he has called him worse than nixon and talked about the malignant presidency and he gets a lot of attention because it's the watergate aur yeah of what he says. he worked on the original story about the unverified russia dossier. the thing is to compare those allegations in the russia case to the scandal that made bernstein famous is a ludicrous. >> jesse: if everything is a constitutional crisis nothing is. the mueller firing was a constitutional firing. a tweet was a constitutional crisis, now the 25th amendment we'll look at a constitutional crisis. we got it, carl, we got it. all right. last but not least the lack of self-awareness award goes to msnbc mika brzezinski that her

friend's attitudes may reveal something about her. >> i had some friends that went to paris over the holiday and said they were just embarrassed to be americans. they said it was the first time that it was sort of chilling. that they didn't even want to share where they were from. >> jesse: well, i don't think any american should be embarrassed in paris. if it wasn't for america they would be speaking german. >> playing the world war ii card. >> i play that as much as possible. >> mika hangs out with people who consider donald trump an embarrassment. she said harsher things about him on morning joe but it comes after a period of time when she and joe scarborough had a bitter falling out with president trump for whom they had been friendly for years. president trump has personally attacked her, low iq and all that on twitter. i don't think there is any question she is sharing her opinions and you aren't shocked

she hangs out with people who don't hold donald trump in the highest regard. >> jesse: it showcases the elitism. she is interesting and looks like fun but to talk about your friends that are vacationing in paris and they are ashamed to be americans. i just don't know about the rest of the american audience when they see her talking like that if they really even care to relate. i don't think they do. >> it's like the foreign correspondent. i interviewed the cab driver about american politics. >> jesse: it doesn't come off as down to earth but i don't think she cares to much about appearing down to earth. thank you for joining us. we look forward to next wednesday's edition of the fake news awards. all right, the more washington learns about that trump/russia dossier the more likely it looks that some of the investigators are now under

investigation themselves. ed henry joins us next with the latest on just who may have colluded with whom.

>> jesse: ed henry was here to

tell us how the top democrat adam schiff was worried republicans were about to shut down their investigation into russia. now he may wish they would. not only has no hard evidence of collusion between the president's team and the russians emerged, the committee's focus has now turned to whether the obama administration used a dodgey dossier to spy on trump campaign officials. let's get an update on why things stand from ed henry in washington >> good to see you. it is looking more and more like the house intel panel investigation is going to heat up this month. maybe not in the way that adam schiff wanted. when we last reported late last year he was seen leaving closed door testament with donald trump junior before a series of leaks from that testimony started popping up on cnn, "the new york times" and other media outlets raising questions about his handling of the sensitive information during that testimony. new tonight i'm told schiff

keeps asking for more witnesses to try and prove collusion between the trump campaign and russia that has not panned out. that is being rejected by republican chairman devin nunes who is bringing in a series of witnesses that may bring more damaging revelations on the other side, top f.b.i. and justice department officials who allegedly went easy on hillary clinton and more revelations about fusion gps and the dossier you mentioned paid for in part by the dnc and clinton camp. nunes is planning to bring in eight witnesses including f.b.i. officials strzok and page who exchanged those anti-trump text messages. another witness we're told will be obama justice department holdover bruce orr who was just stripped of another title. he is now no longer the head of the organized crime drug enforcement task forces. ohr there testify january 17. that his wife worked for fusion

gps. adam schiff has bought into every russia allegation about the president got called out for cnn seeming to dismissal gaitions about top f.b.i. and justice officials before he did investigating. watch. >> how do you not know that it's a legitimate investigation? i thought that the whole idea was we are supposed to believe the f.b.i. and the people at the justice department are men and women of integrity? >> if they are investigating hillary clinton it doesn't take a genius, let alone a stable genius to see why. it is not because there is no evidence that has come to light. they are being badgered by the white house to do it. >> with all due respect aren't you contributing to the lack of faith in these institutions? >> nunes scored a big victory on friday what td bank turned over more bank records for fusion gps. this will reveal more about fusion gps's clients but also their relationships with media companies.

so there could be more journalists either on the payroll or working in some way with fusion gps. they could be big revelations. >> jesse: it looks like bottom line schiff is a leaker. this guy at justice bruce ohr was demoted having secret meetings with the dossier firm and their bank records will get cracked open. who knows where this money was flowing in from. and then these kind of anti-trump f.b.i. agents that were sending these love texts to each other, they are in the cross hairs. the whole thing is boomeranging. what kind of repercussions could this see? >> as you mentioned, the key question that devin nunes is trying to get at is was it the dossier and these behind the scenes maneuverings by f.b.i. and justice department officials more friendly to the obama administration than to donald trump, is that what led to the surveillance approved by

obama officials that then eventually led to robert mueller? is that a conspiracy theory that conservatives pushing or is there hard evidence to show there was a direct correlation. that evidence is not there yet but there are pieces of it as you start putting it together that are very alarming. >> jesse: let's look ahead quickly. we only have a few more seconds. if they can prove that the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc paid for this fake dirt from this dossier firm to smear trump with and the dossier was used by the d.o.j. under obama to justify surveillance of president trump which sparked this whole probe, what does that mean? what could that say? and could someone be punished for that? >> here is one of the key pieces that you are getting at which is the fisa law, the foreign intelligence surveillance act where a judge would approve this surveillance of trump aides, there is very specific parts of the law i'm

told, just from reading it myself but from people who are experts on this, that say that if justice and f.b.i. officials did not fully disclose what was going on behind the scenes, they could be in violation of law, they could be in a lot of trouble basically for using this to surveil trump officials and that this could really blow up in their face. they aren't there yet but there is a lot of maneuvering behind the scenes and we'll hear a lot more in the next few days. >> jesse: it looks corrupt on the surface but we'll follow it. thank you very much. don't go away. don't go away. we'll be right back.

the great emperor penguin migration. don't go away. we'll be right back. trekking a hundred miles inland to their breeding grounds. except for these two fellows. this time next year, we're gonna be sitting on an egg. i think we're getting close! make a u-turn... u-turn? recalculating... man, we are never gonna breed. just give it a second. you will arrive in 92 days. nah, nuh-uh. nope, nope, nope. you know who i'm gonna follow? my instincts. as long as gps can still get you lost, you can count on geico saving folks money. i'm breeding, man. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. ♪ >> jesse: before we go, a reminder to check out my show, airing saturdays at 8:00 eastern. we have a very special guest, a therapy llama. all these snowflakes in college, they get so s s s s s s s s s su know, they like to pet a llama and we are going to show you that.
