hurt in a military helicopter crash in the country of iraq. according to "newsweek" 10 u.s. service members were on board when the black hawk went down. ainsley: u.s. army pilots from the special operations regiment reportedly flying the aircraft back to base after a raid. a military official says that the crash is likely the result of a mechanical malfunction. brian: this marks the third military aircraft crash in iraq. it happened this year. the last one march killing all seven service members on board. the other happened back in february. no one died in that one. so wool find out the latest there. a lot going on in iraq in syria on a daily basis let alone what's going on the chaos in afghanistan. steve: this was not during the raid. it was on the way back. we will keep you posted on other details u in other news. john brennan who once upon ran the cia and insists he is not political. he is so steamed that the man picture left right there, the president of the united states, donald trump.

yanked his security clearance last week. by the way, what does the president think of mr. brennan he referred to him as a loud mouth partisan political hack. easily the worst cia director in history. well, mr. brennan doesn't like the fact that that was yanked. enough to he is considering suing the president of the united states to keep him from jerking anybody else's security clearances. ainsley: got pretty defensive on some of the sunday shows. this is him on meet the press yesterday. listen to this. >> i am going to do whatever i can personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future. and if it means going to court, i will -- i have seen the lights blinking red. i think i need to speak out. so i have been speaking out rather forcefully because i believe it's important to do so. i don't believe i'm being political at all. [laughter] steve: that is funny. brian: that's one of the craziest things he has ever said a huge lineup. after you see john brennan on friday night with rachel

maddow and watch him on meet the press. he said i want them to talk more. i want them to know who he is. i would say this to john brennan and his supporters. i sense that people are going to look into what he was doing as cia director over the last four years with president obama. and i sense that they're going to look at him and he might end up like andy mccabe, like priester strzok and this months the bruce ohr because maybe there are things that he has done that has him this chain acting in inordinately obstinate towards the i president. the fact is other people who are normally on his side have noticed that he has gone over the line like james cla clap per and admirable mike malone. >> john is like a freight train and say what's on his mind. but john and his rhetoric

had become, i think, an issue in and of itself. >> he has been incredibly critical of the president and i think that has put him in a political place which actually does more damage for the intelligence community, which is apolitical. steve: right, it's always been apolitical. what's interesting about mr. clapper, is he not fan of president trump's. for him to go out and say look, john brennan is he about as subtle as a freight train or however that sound bite because, that is a step towards spy vs. spy. ainsley: brennan was director under obama. he doesn't like this president and administration. ambassador john bolton now the national security advisor. he was saying, he is in israel right now meeting with netanyahu, he was saying that the intelligence communities needs to -- policy needs to be separate from politics or from what they are investigating.

in the intelligence community. you don't need to mix politics with that. steve: right. he also did say, mr. bolton in israel, he said that going forward he is okay with looking at the policy of whether or not when somebody leaves the intelligence community whether or not the security clearance follows them. brian: which to me makes more sense to have a policy. hey, listen, i want bob gates, he served a bunch of presidents, 11 different presidents, what it is. i want him informed whatever is he doing over at william and mary. i like what condoleezza rice is doing at the hoover institute. i want her informed. you should be making that choice as a president. i want them up to date so they can call and say listen, i'm seeing some of this intelligence. i know the guy over in turkey let me make the call. i think going through that list of sally yates and others right now would diminish the president going at john brennan who is way over here. michael hayden and others come out. their criticism seems measured and thoughtful where john brennan is off the hook and uses terms like

i once in a while get my irish up. that's not a good excuse on behalf of the irish and i'm half of an irish person. steve: when you look at that lineup right there, peter strzok, why did he still have it. brian: i don't know he had it. steve: bruce ohr why does he still have it? he will be testifying before congress. you would imagine. ainsley: there is the list. john brennan said he might take legal action to take this to court to prevent others like this list right here you are see the faces from getting security clearances removed and their reputations dragged in the mud. brian: does he even know what bruce ohr has done? yesterday he said it's really scary that bruce ohr might have his security clearance taken away because is he in office. do you know what bruce ohr has done he? is supposed to be working a narcotics beat. is he meeting with christopher steele on the side. for him to even bring up bruce ohr is he clueless what is going on with this investigation or willingly being my i've. steve: just one other thing about rudy giuliani was on

yesterday and he said john brennan is thinking about going ahead and suing the president. rudy said i would love to take his deposition. i would love to get him and have him testify about when he was the cia station chief in riyadh during khobar towers and i would like to know about benghazi and some different things. for instance, why did he support back in 1980 the communist who is running for president of the united states. how does that guy become the cia director? that, according to rudy. ainsley: all this news is breaking yesterday. we are telling you about it this morning. also this morning a stronger together rally down in the state of florida. and one of the congressman down there alcee hastings made a very disturbing joke. keep in mind is he a democrat from florida. he made this very disturbing joke at that rally. listen. >> i will tell you one joke. do you know the difference between a crisis and a catastrophe? a crisis is that donald

trump potomac river and he cansd swim and a catastrophe is anybody [bleep] steve: goes to show you the tenure of political discord these days making a joke about -- i don't think he ever thought it would go public but obviously everybody has camera phones these days, everything always goes public. brian: he is at the podium with a microphone in front of an audience you have to assume it will go pluck. steve: not necessarily. brian: i'm pretty sure the democrats are galvanized saying something inappropriate. obviously he wrote that ahead of time. ainsley: he prefers the president drown in the potomac river. imagine if a republican said that about a democratic in office. imagine if a republican stood up and said that about obama? who be the outcry, would it be all over the other networks? steve: what do you think? we are on twitter and facebook.

ainsley: never okay to joke about someone dying. steve: 6:10 on this very busy monday morning and jackie joins us for the news. good morning. jackie: happy monday. we begin with a fox news alert for you. a manhunt underway for whoever fired shots at the u.s. embassy in turkey overnight. bullets piercing the window in the capital of ankara but no one is hurt. we are told the shooting comes as the rejects offer to free an american pastor. turkey proposing the u.s. rescind billions of dollars worth of fine and drop money in bank all in exchange for brunson's relief. freeing 149 hostages an americans with disabilities abducted by the taliban. working to free 21 remaining hostages. the fighting comes despite announcement from afghan officials of a four day cease-fire with the taliban. secretary of state mike pompeo initially praising it saying in part, quote: this plan responds to the clear and continued call of the afghan people for peace.

kind of mentioned that on the us what lawn on friday. why we want this fight? >> well, in a lot of ways john brennan san idea foil for someone like president trump who believes that the law enforcement intelligence community had their thumb on the scale when in the last year of obama in 2016 during the campaign and here you have the former cia director who has, you know, very shrill tones and using in my view a lot of hyperbole described the traders reactions as traitor, treasonous, et cetera. in that way it's an ideal kind of conflict and foil for trump to elevate brennan in many ways as this sort of face of his resistance. brian: interesting to see clapper go out of his way in one sound by the to say he says things that got limbself into trouble and mullen said too this is not the way somebody in intelligence should be acting even though they are out of office.

do you sense some distancing in that respect? >> i think there is -- first of all, there has been, i think, some concern for a while now. i have written about brennan in his sort of new media personality role now for some time. and, you know, my view is that it's, you know, i think that when he is interviewed, and he makes allegations and says things that, you know, the russians must have something on him. he has an obligation at this point to his viewers now that he is pundit to provide that evidence or he shouldn't make those kinds of accusations on air and should be, you know, providing that to mueller, the fbi, the justice department because those are very grave concerns. and if it's indeed true and not just speculation, not just sort of the regular kind of partisan blather, that's something that every american would have to take seriously. so it kind of begs the question. i would say this. this strategy from trump, i think, could back fire if you see more people like bill mccraven who is, you know, the special operations

commanders who oversaw the bin laden raid, is he far less partisan and political. the fact that he got into the fray this week to defend brennan, that could be, if you see more of that, that could be a problem in a lot of ways, at least for the officer suedable parpersuadable. >> what was he promised from hillary as much as people respect him and has the best commencement speech ever and over at the university of texas now. he might have a political horse in this race. we'll see. we have navy seal coming on later saying the navy seal community very upset he got involved in this. i want to ask you this. people on the left don't love brennan, correct? he is not a democratic lover boy. >> no. in fact, you know, in 2014-2015, because of a scandal that we have largely forgotten at this point, brennan nearly had to resign after dianne feinstein accused him of lying about the surveillance of

democratic staff during the, you know, that committee's report on the black sites of the cia during the bush era and also brennan at one point recommended that the staff members at the cia had sort of monitored in their research, you know, be prosecuted for violating their own, you know, rules in terms of handling classified information. so, brennan has a checkered past in this as well. i think is he a divisive figure also among progressives. brian: final thought, eli he was cia director when the russians were meddling in the election what the heck did he do about it act concern and give president obama to give a stern talkings to vladimir putin. that's not really a strategy. >> on this point, in 2016 a lot of reporting on this. brennan did try to sound the alarm. he was also senior national security official in all of the obama years. and, you know, the obama administration -- brian: he got very concerned when president obama was no longer president. eli, great column as usual.

fraud. the "new york times" reporting that the feds are looking into more than $20 million in loans to taxi companies owned by he and his family. the report suggest charges could be coming within the next two weeks for michael cohen who is under federal investigation. ainsley: all right. let's bring in dan bongino former secret service agent host of the dan bongino show. good morning to you, daniel. hope had you a great weekend. thanks for joining us. >> yeah. good to be here. ainsley: great to see you. there was a "new york times" headline. done mcgahn one of the president's attorneys, obviously, has cooperated extensively in mueller. rudy giuliani said the mueller team has leaked the mcgahn story to the "new york times." >> this is a desperate special counsel who leaked this to the "new york times" illegally it, could be mcgahn and mcgahn is not doing it he would have done it a long time ago if he was going to do it. they are down to desperation

time. ainsley: the article says dan was interviewed with mueller investigators for over 30 hours over the past nine months. what do you make of this? >> this case has gone from embarrassing to really like an intergalactic disgrace at this point. when are we going to get to the collusion? guys, the entire country, the emergency brake on the entire country has been pulled for the last year and a half because we have been told that donald trump's team, right? colluded with the russians to win an election. are we ever going to get to the actual collusion? do you know what this reminds me of, this case? ever get a really big box from amazon or something and could tell they were out of cardboard. this has to be like, what, a dog kennel or something like that? and did you go through the box and you throwing the air popcorn out and like a bottle of vitamin fills? what happened were they running out of boxes? this is like the mueller case a box of air popcorn. there is no there there.

no case. yellow cab taxi fraud now with michael cohen? this is what we shut the country down for. it's a joke and he knows it. >> i mean, look at what we just had in the news about the paul manafort trial. that's not about collusion at all. that is about bank fraud and tax evasion. regarding rudy though, since we heard him talk about how desperate people are, you know, suddenly has become a people word rudy says truth isn't truth. what he was talking about is the president and mr. comey have two different versions of what happened. the president says he never had a conversation with mr. comey about whether or not to take it easy on mr. flynn and mr. comey says that they did indeed have a conversation he memorialized it with a memo. do you understand what rudy was saying when he said truth isn't truth? >> no, i absolutely do. here's the problem here. the media will jump on that because they are just being grossly irresponsible and think want to nail trump to the wall. but, steve, here's the

thing. the fbi can't themselves agree if truth is truth. not just about the comey meeting you are referring to but what about the mike flynn case? hey, steve, if the truth is the truth, then how come the fbi agent who told the air quotes here "truth" and said they saw no evidence of deception in mike flynn's interview. how come bob mueller turned around and charged him with lying to the fbi. i'm not playing word games when i interview you when i sense no signs of deception. wouldn't that mean to a normal reasonable person i don't think you lied? apparently not to bob mueller. i know the media is having a lot of fun with this and playing their dopey silly games. the reality is what rudy said has merit to it the fbi themself can't agree what the truth is on this case. they charge mike film anyway. by the way, the trump team has every reason to be suspicious of bob mueller's intentions precisely because of things like that. brian: it's crazy, too. because at the end of that first story with don mcgahn he says he could not believe

the president, according to this story said go ahead, robert mueller, talk to don mcgahn. he thought the president was setting him up according to this story. it's been nine months. the president is not setting him up. and then he realizes now there was no -- there was no setup. so he talked for 30 hours in three separate interviews. he still trying to get court appointees out there. including brett kavanaugh. do you think it is true though that the president does not know exactly what mcgahn said? >> he may, he may not. brian, in my 10-plus years working federal cases and skilled lawyers for both the government on the other side, if donald trump is guilty, he is the worse guilty person i have ever seen in my life. you don't wave privilege and let your lawyer, white house counsel, by the way questionable about attorney-client privilege. most definitely some executive privilege here being the chief executive of the united states, you do not wave that privilege if you are getting the left

can't get out of the way. can't seat fact trump may be open on this entire thing. he did nothing wrong. there is nothing there. there is nothing see. brian: he got no credit. instead of saying well, on one hand, it must show that he is being transparent because he has nothing to hide. they went to the other side and said how stupid it was to let don mcgahn go to robert mueller. he thnts bring up the other side in that story. >> they are reading this thing all wrong. this makes no sense. donald trump, you know, love him or hate him, right, on the left. this is not a stupid man. he did not do this -- they did this intentionally. he has nothing to hide. there is nothing there. steve: this goes to rudy's defense of the president. he said on this couch think don't have to call the president to testify because they have heard from people who know firsthand what happened, and they have gotten over a million documents. so by the fact that don mcgahn now we know talked to the special prosecutor now we are able to connect those dots. brian: is that live look

behind you or is that just a painting? >> no, taps 70-inch tv screen. i had a little problem this morning when i got up. because it's the dawn shot but it gets darker as it goes on. i had to put it on pause. your audiences would have been weirded out. how is it getting darker in palm city, florida. brian: getting a little concerned. dan, thank you very much. steve: there goes the magic of television. brian: i apologize. i had to break the allusion. ainsley: father and son racing to escape a raging wildfire, watch this. >> car is heating um. it's going to explode. >> jesus, god, help us. ainsley: traumatic ride caught on camera. steve: facebook and twitter under fire for censoring conservatives it is alleged. they are not alone. next guest says he has been singled out by google. ♪ give a little bit of your love to me ♪ give a little bit

stephanie hammel daily caller has been to many antifa protests and she joins us now. >> thank you for having me. >> what upsets you most after your reporting on what happened there in seattle? >> i love that you guys bring up where is the outrage. i have been asking where the outrage was all weekend this morning. in fact i have been asking where the outrage is about antifa for the past couple years now. and i have had several run-ins with antifa like you brought up. let's jewels say they have never really been very pleasant. antifa they claim to be the anti-fascist yet they're the ones that are the real fascist. trying to silence ones they disagree with and bringing violence to protest. we saw what happened in seattle over the weekend. what happened was there was a group of people out there demonstrating against this initiative in seattle to raise the age from 18 to 21 years old to purchase semiautomatic rifles. and a lot of these second amendment supporters have a big issue with that because it is an infringement on our

constitutional rights. brian: which is fine. liberty or death one group. another group 3 percenters and patriot's prayer. allowed to demonstrate and demonstrate peacefully. and others workers solidarity and radical women socialists. they were also protesting. in comes antifa and they start beating people up and smashing the windows of marine corps recruiting centers. somehow that fighting against fascism when you smash the windows of a marine recruiting center? >> yeah. it isn't. and so, again, where is the outrage? we saw one of the secretary secd amendment supports. what bothers me is the silence from the left. i haven't heard a word from the democratic leaders. they are not saying anything about this. and when they are silenced, when the media ignores, this they embolden and empower the so-called anti-fascist. they feel like they are on

the right side. and, look, we get it everyone hates nats sis. everyone hates white supremacists. and we're not okay with that but the problem with antifa is that they are labeling anyone and everyone that is patriotic or a trump supporters a nazis. i have been called a nazi by antifa at the trump inaugural ball. i was in my gown and heels walking with a group of people, elderly people in front of me and behind me. and a group of white men in masks they stood in the sidewalk and they told me you are a nazi. you need to walk in the dirt. brian: hold it there. chris cuomo trying to justify their behavior because they are going after white supremacist. they were beating up members of the media last week. now they're beating up people want to talk about the age in which you purchase firearms. this sin excusable. that needs to be condemned u thanks so much. ainsley: thanks for bringing it to light for us, stephanie.

geltrude. >> good morning. steve: hearing from some people on the political left talk about how great socialism is and, yet, when you look at how much stuff cost it's shocking. >> it's just incredible. let's follow up on that point you just made. the international monetary fund talking about 1 million% increase in goods over an annual period. can you imagine that? that means if you are buying like a bar of soap or carrots. steve: buy this number of carrots, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 carrots it would be 3 million bolivars which would be 12 bucks. 12 bucks for carrots. >> cost a dollar at the beginning of the year. that type of inflation it would cost you $10,000 by the end of the year. how could anybody afford to live like that. steve: let's go to the next graphic and find out how much some of the other everyday items are going to

cost. for instance when it comes to, i think, toilet paper, a single roll of toilet paper 2.6 million bolivars which would be about $10.50 for a single roll of toilet painner a socialist country trinchts that might be the ask most disturbing fact of anything, steve. how did this happen? where did you go with socialism? it's a plain fact. eventually you run out of other people's money. you can't collect enough taxes. what happens, the government starts to print more and more money and therefore it literally becomes valueless. steve: big worry in venezuela because it sounds like mad mediterranean madeira. a pack of diapers 8 million bolivars the equivalent of $32. >> absolutely incredible. steve: 8 million bolivars.

>> here is your something that if you are running democratic socialist. government can't give you everything. steve: there is a big difference between venezuela and the united states. >> absolutely. but, listen, here's what's causing this problem. overspending. does that sound familiar? increasing in the minimum wage. you are talking about madeira's proposal taking minimum wage of about 50 cents, moving it to $30 that's a tax on businesses. how are they going to be able to afford that? steve: go back to first statistic this year the imf is estimating in venezuela inflation 1 million per cents. unbelievable. dan, thank you very much. goes to show you the price costco much better when it comes to diapers. just saying. coming up, newt gingrich and andy mccarthy are going to join us live. we have a busy monday. stay with us, folks.

now he has suggested that he might actually sue the government and in fact leon panetta former cia director said you know what? it may not be in the president's authority because according to the rules, that person who gets his security clearance pulled should have due process. he did not have that. ainsley: his comments are almost as funny as brian's about the nun because he says he didn't get political. listen. >> i am going to do whatever can i personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future. and if it means going to court, i will do that. i have seen the lights blinking red in terms of what mr. trump has done and is doing. i think i need to speak out. and so i have been speaking out rather forcefully because i believe it's important to do. so i don't believe i'm being political at all. steve: now that's funny. brian: that's funny. not political at all. you are getting political and when people look at you and even chuck todd brought up yesterday isn't that a person against donald trump?

isn't that a person who spent decades in intelligence and his last job was head of the cia and he was head of the cia and knew everything in 2016. so he is not just ranting like some operative. here was john bolton said that many people have been thinking but this is the first time i have heard this said by a trump official. >> whether he actually used classified information, i think people will be able to determine. i think that's a serious problem. i view at the time that he and others in the obama administration were politicizing intelligence. i think that's very dangerous thing to do. and i think especially for senior intelligence officials, career intelligence officials who come out of government to keep that wall of separation between intelligence and policy. and i don't think brennan has followed that. since he left, i think a number of people have commented that he couldn't be in the position he is in of criticizing president trump and his so-called

collusion with russia unless he did use classified information. but i don't know the specifications. steve: if he misused classified information, that could be very bad for him going forward. how does the president feel about mr. brennan? well, he has referred to him as a loud mouth partisan political hack, easily the worst cia director in u.s. history. brian: so doesn't like him. steve: no lovin' spoonful there elon was on with brian an hour ago for this former guy who had all the secrets at his finger tips, if he has got information, we need details. >> when he is interviewed and he makes allegations and says things that, you know, the russians must have something on him, he has on obligation at this point to his viewers now that he is a pundit to provide that evidence or shouldn't make those kinds of accusations on air and should be, you know, providing that to mueller, the fbi, the justice department because those are very grave concerns.

and if it's indeed true and not just speculation, not just sort of the regular kind of partisan blather, then that's something that every american would have to take seriously. brian: senator burr said the same thing. haven't heard much from him on the senate intelligence committee. listen, we are trying to pursue. this we haven't found collusion or coordination and we haven't found obstruction. if you did, you better tell us. we have asked you 20 times and you haven't. his response was i'm very disappointed in senator burr who he is fond of. don't be disappointed. just listen. >> what the senator said the first thing out of his mouth was, you know, if he knew of collusion, why didn't he include that in the confidential assessment that we got over a year ago? but now we are hearing this stuff and it seems political. ainsley: also the "new york times" yesterday there was an article, and the title is white house counsel, don mcgahn has cooperated extensively in the mueller inquiry. so apparently one of the president's attorneys, the president has given him permission to sit down with investigators, with the mueller investigation. he has interviewed with

investigators for 30 hours over the past nine months describing the russia collusion or talking about russia collusion or that investigation tblornght really happened. rudy giuliani said that this leak to the "new york times," the mueller team must have leaked it listen to this. >> this is a desperate special counsel who leaked this to the "new york times." illegally it could be mcgahn and mcgahn is not doing it and he would have done it a long time ago if he was going to do it. they are down to desperation time. brian: when you talk about 30 hours and three separate interviews, what the heck is he talking at that lengted for that many times with robert mueller for. i know the president gave him the green light but at some point you would think that he pulled back and said i have given you enough information but the president so confident there is nothing there. rudy giuliani can't say for sure what don mcgahn said because he wasn't even the attorney at the time. steve: rudy doesn't know whether or not the leak came from the mueller team or it

came from don mcgahn or came from the white house. we simply don't know. apparently some the details they wanted to ask mr. mcgahn about were -- was the firing of james comey. efforts to fire robert mueller. and the whole thing about the attorney general jeff sessions why he recused himself. apparently those are some of the things. now the headline this morning in the "new york times" is that lawyers don't know how much mcgahn told mueller's team. i think they probably have a pretty good idea about it nonetheless, dan bongino was with us 45 minutes ago, and had this observation about the status of the probe today. >> this case has gone from embarrassing to really like an intergalactic disgrace at this point. i mean, when are we going to get to the collusion? guys, the entire country, the emergency break on the entire country has been pulled for the last year and a half because we have been told that donald trump's team, right, colluded with the russians to win an election.

are we ever going to get to the actual collusion? there is no there there. there is no case. mueller is down to, what, yellow cab taxi fraud now with michael cohen? this is what we shut the country down for. this case is a joke and he knows it. >> by the way doesn't look like mueller is doing any of the questioning. one is a female clinton attorney who is doing almost all the aggressive questioning. if you are president trump, thinking that this is a fair and balanced inquiry, why wouldn't you be suspicious about everyone's objective? steve: well, when rudy was with us, he told us different members of the mueller team would interview different aspects of the investigation, for instance, whenever they needed to speak to the team, they would speak to one particular person that andrew wiseman, who we have seen his name a lot because i think he is the guy who went to the hillary victory party. he not inter facing with the white house when it comes to stuff. rudy also said that he did not want to russia the president in to an interview with mr. mueller because of the possibility of a perjury

trap. and that's when rudy said the truth isn't the truth, where, you know, have you got two men here and they both have different remembrances of what went on in that room when did they talk about michael flynn and letting it go or not? the president says didn't have the conversation. mr. comey says yes, we did. >> goes back to what ambassador bolton was saying, whoever works in the intel community should not be political, especially when you are investigating the president. and you see with this russia collusion investigation some of the top dogs, the top agents, they are political. we have evidence of that in their text messages. it's very frustrating. and how many millions of dollars of american taxpayers, pairs' dollars are going into this? we still don't have any answers. brian: as the "wall street journal" brought up today in lead editorial listen why don't people ever look at this and say at least take the angle of if the president has nothing to hide, didn't he -- allowing his attorney, like don mcgahn speak for 30 hours, doesn't that prove it? he is not worried about it?

it took nine months for it to even come out? he gave him permission. also says one thing in terms of john dowd and ty cobb saying i will give you all these documents. i will make my people available if you end this thing as quickly as possible. we have nothing to hide. they kept their end of the bargain. robert mueller's people have proven to be unreliable. so that's why the new team comes in and says we cannot take their word for granted. we can't take it as gospel. rudy has said on this program the president will not testify if information that he would testify to has already been presented. and now that we know that the mcgahn story, clearly if the mueller team is asking about what went on into the potential obstruction of justice, they got the answer from the president's own attorney. they don't need to talk to the president. that is the argument the new team has made to the mueller team. brian: if you are don mcgahn and gives up information that makes him lock bad.

wife would you stay on the job? this has been almost a complete year since he gave up the 30 hours. and he is still getting brett kavanaugh passed and pushing 24 circuit judges forward. so, you don't stay on the job if you think that your boss is corrupt. i wouldn't think. steve: there is no evidence that he said anything bad about donald trump. we don't know. ainsley: waiting for mueller report which hopefully will come down soon. steve: meanwhile, look at your screen does this video offend you. >> you are totally free to express your political views. no one is going to tell you what can you say or how you can say it, right? steve: that seems okay, right? well, facebook censored it. the explanation and the apology coming up next. ainsley: man new york's finest and there is nothing they can do about it. >> stopped you. >> what's your name? >> co-ville 5416. >> what's your name?

president obama. he basically lied to the american people about what happened in libya and benghazi. frankly, brennan should never have been director of the central intelligence and it's a little disheartening to watch the old boy's club get together and write a collective letter when which they did this weekend in defending brennan. there is no natural right to retain your security clearance. the president has every right to set up a procedure for repealing it his public activities more than justify. he was head of the cia during the period they claim the russians were engaged in trying to affect the election. why isn't he a little humbled by his total failure. brian: i felt as though i dropped the ball for the american people and failed as we have heard people say in the past when they have failed. he failed. now, a couple of things.

i get the sense that we have not fully looked into what brennan did and didn't do leading up to the russia part of this investigation and why trump was being investigated. why was the fbi dealing with the christopher steele? what did he know about this -- the whole dossier leading up? he acted oblivious. remember trey gody's question about when he first found out about it my sense is those people running to his defense might be pretty embarrassed, shortly. look part of what you see here is desperation. when you look at certain obama era people, they know that, in fact, they are at the heart of this. i think it's reasonable to guess and it's a guess right now because we don't have the data, that, in fact, it was brennan's cia which led the fbi to the dossier in britain and that in fact, the people who are tied closer to the cia than they

were to the fbi. the deeper point is this. it is an open and shut case with zero question that brennan was engaged in lying to the american people about benghazi. knew that everything they were saying was a lie. went along with the lie, and that's why you have the sickness that you have at the heart of our establishment. these people were all willing to lie to the country in return for whatever political games they were playing and they all thought they would be protected because they all thought hillary would win and hillary would take care of them and they are all terrified because the more we learn, the worse they look. ainsley: all this will come to light. let's talk about the mid terms. senator christian gillibrand, there is talk she could be running for president in 2020. she has been really outspoken lately. she was on face the nation yesterday. she was saying that she thinks 2018 the mid terms are going to be a referendum on trump. listen to. this i think what happens in november is going to decide what our country looks like. i think this election is a

referendum on president trump, on the fact that he doesn't represent most americans, that his values don't line up with most americans. and so being heard in this election fits the stage for everything in the future. ainsley: do you agree with that that his values don't line up with most americans? >> listen, i think we could have a great debate if our choice is between gillibrand and trump. she is for open borders. brian: that's terrible. >> she is for sanctuary cities. she is against ice. she represents an absolute total turn around on gun control. she used to be pro-nra when she was upstate new york congresswoman. once she became a statewide new york senator she became antigun. did you go down the list of what she believes in and that's about 30% of the country. if i were trump, i would say willingly, let's have a debate over these two set of values. he likes lower taxes and more jobs shy likes higher taxes and more food stamps. pretty clear choice. conservative judges, she likes radical judges.

steve: mr. speaker, you know better than anybody, what it is like to run for congress. have you gone through midterm cycles as well. during a midterm cycle. do people vote for their national representatives for congress and in some cases senate based on the president or based on that actual representative? >> i think there is a tremendous impact in every election now because of the nature of the country. you guys are in 435 congressional districts every morning. so you can't talk about a purely localized election because the waves the things really matter. that's why i think, for example, that the story on sunday was so important that don mcgahn, the white house counsel had spent 30 hours giving briefings to mueller's staff with no executive privilege no. presidential client confidentiality. saying this is the end of the mueller investigation. you can't reasonably ask for more than 30 hours of the

white house counsel find nothing and claim you need to keep looking. brian: we don't know if he found anything. mr. speaker, we don't know what he found? >> huh? brian: how do we know what he found? >> we do know from the don mcgahn said flatly he saw nothing that the president did was that was anything illegal. and if you have the top lawyer who has testified openly for 30 hours. i think it says there is nothing there for mueller or he already would have done something. and his entire investigation, i think, in terms of why he was picked is a total bust. we see no evidence of any kind of collusion. certainly no evidence that the president did anything wrong. the reason that matters is when that disappears, if you are the average american, and you have been led by the elite media for two years to believe that there was something terrible here, and it all goes away, i think suddenly trump looks

dramatically more acceptable. dramatically more plausible. i think he ought to accept gill brand's challenge. let's have a choice this fall between hard left values, socialism, government-run healthcare and what president trump is trying to do. i think he wins that by a big margin. brian: he has to finish up by september 1st go dark or affect the election and got to be responsible about that. thanks so much, newt gingrich. ainsley: thank you. >> good to be with you. steve: good to have you. ainsley: hand it over to jackie ibañez who has headlines for us. jackie: violent weekend in chicago. four victims are dead. three of the deadly shootings happening on sunday alone there has been 271 shootings in chicago in the last 28 days. professional sports teams in chicago now banning together to stop the violence. the organizations donating $1 million to provide mentoring and therapy to at risk kids to keep them out of trouble. new york police officers get verbally abused and there is

become, i think, an issue in of itself. >> he has been incredibly critical of the president and i think that has put him in a political place which actually does more damage for the intelligence community which is apolitical. steve: speaking of damage, the national security advisor john bolton said yesterday there is a possibility that mr. brennan may have misused classified information. he said he could not have is been in position of criticizing the president and collusion unless he used classified information but mr. bolton didn't know of any specifics. nonetheless when you start to think about why he is saying what he is saying, does he know something or is he just being political. brian: to ahead. ainsley: he says there needs to be a wall of separation between the intelligence departments and policy. they should not get political. it is clear that he has, that brennan has. brian: think about this, i would love for the president to be

more comprehensive. i can't believe peter strzok, would be considered to allow to keep security clearance, james comey allowed to keep security clearance, bruce ohr after he testifies closed doors should willingly give it up what we know about his texts and gates and webster and hayden and condoleeza rice and others, i think that is a bad precedent to go down. i think you can get both sides on the same page when it comes to pulling back on those who know everything. if you hire me to be a expert on your network and i have intelligence access, i say things, at home, are you saying this because you know stuff we don't know or saying you got it from the press? look at john brennan, he seems to be telling us things we don't have access too. when we ask him, i've become much more informed by watching the free press. do we buy that?

steve: sure. there should be a standard going forward. mr. bolton would be for looking what that might be. mr. brennan is one of the people that started the whole russia collusion thing. mr. brennan some suggest with dossier with harry reid, look at this, then harry reid wrote a letter to the fbi based on the dossier and said, you know the fbi has to investigate this. and that's how we wound up where we are. brian: by the way, this will be bruce ohr month. just look at these texts he has a desperate christopher steele desperately trying to keep the firewalls up, concerned that ohr is going to get fired. concerned he will lose access to the fbi. bruce ohr has no business even in this conversation. he is narcotics guy. by the way thiel was fired by the fbi for talking to the press. this stuff is going on. where is the cia director? if nothing else he should be looked at difficultly for allowing this to happen.

ainsley: we talked to newt gingrich about it. this is what he said earlier on the show. >> it is an open-and-shut case with zero question that brennan was engaged in lying to the american people about benghazi, knew everything they were saying was a lie, went along with the lie, that is why you have the sickness you have at the heart of our establishment. these people were all willing to lie to the country in return for whatever political games they were playing and they all thought they would be protected because they all thought hillary would win and hillary would take care of them and they're all terrified, because the more we learn the worse they look. steve: meanwhile the president of the states this morning has been up and tweeting last half hour. he had three tweets. we'll share two of them. the first one reads this, disgrace and discredited bob mueller and whole group of angry democrat thugs spent over 30 hours with the white house

counsel which he misspelled, with my approval for transparency. anybody needing that much time when they know there is no russian collusion is someone looking for trouble. ainsley: they're enjoying ruining people's lives and refuse to look at the real corruption on the democrat side, the lies, firings, deleted emails, angry dems and mueller are looking to impact the election. they're a national disgrace. brian: no charge on carter page, good luck getting his reputation back. papdopoulus might be changing his stance. he has been virtually bankrupted. we know what they did to michael flynn. every time the counsel calls you work for president trump, minimum 50,000-dollars check to an attorney in washington just to defend you. a lot of these men and women don't make a zillion dollars working on campaigns. they don't have $50,000, who will want to work on any campaign knowing at any point you could be hauled in.

ainsley: don mcgahn, white house counsel sat down over the course of nine months for 30 hours. the president referring that in the tweet. they're trying to find something on me. they cannot find anything on me if they have to sit down 30 hours and still can't nothing. steve: according to "new york times," mr. mcgahn said he saw nothing that would suggest obstruction of justice. there is mr. mcgahn with ed meese as well. ainsley: the president gave him permission. steve: idea of the president's first legal team. look the president says he has nothing to hide. go ahead,ton mcgahn, tell them everything you now. rudy suggesting that was a leak from the mueller team. we don't know if it was true. it could have gotten from somebody in the white house, somebody getting out of the story. mr. mcgahn sat down in front of mr. mueller and said he didn't do anything wrong.

decade. that is something. ainsley: that is great news. steve: we'll watch you on fox business. brian: nine to noon. steve: john brennan is not silent about losing his security clearance. to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try parodontax toothpaste. ♪ in your wireless mouse? maybe not. maybe you can trust that during your fantasy draft, the computer won't autodraft a kicker in the 7th round. or... you could just trust duracell. and if you get lost, just hit me on the old horn. man: tom's my best friend, but ever since he bought a new house... tom: it's a $10 cover? oh, okay. didn't see that on the website. he's been acting more and more like his dad. come on, guys! jump in! the water's fine! tom pritchard. how we doin'? hi, there. tom pritchard.

his family. the report suggests that charges could be coming within the next two weeks. brian. brian: thanks, ainsley. former cia director john brennan getting defensive after president trump revokes his security clearance claiming he is not political at all. listen. >> i've been speaking out rather forcefully because i believe it is important to do so. i don't believe i'm being political at all. brian: we have a retired u.s. navy seal himself, author of this book, book of man, a navy seal's guide to the lost art of manhood. he joins us now to weigh in. derek, you reached out, bill mccraven, former chancellor of the university of texas system, former commander of navy seal's ripped trump's presidency, said it would be an honor for you to take my security clearance away too because he wants to stand by john brennan. does he speak for the seal community? >> absolutely not. no. quite frankly, no. we have known for a long period

of time that the former admiral mccraven has had somewhat we would term very liberal political views. that is his right as an american citizen. we as seals didn't comment on it publicly like he brought it to the forefront. insulting a sitting president of the united states is completely inappropriate for a former senior military officer to do. these guys -- brian: you were surprised? >> we were shocked that he would come out and say these things publicly. it is just inappropriate for people of his station to do this they must remain apolitical. admiral mullen was spot on when he was saying this, that john brennan's comments have gone so far past anything that could be even remotely considered apolitical, that he has joined, he has gone to the other side. he is now a political pundit. and admiral mccraven, has crossed into that realm.

painful for me to say it. brian: it looks like it was written by petulent child, whose friend's bicycle was stolen in a park and a is pinned up on a tree. let me make sure i get this proper here, that he has, displayeded unparalleled integrity and unhonestty if admiral mccraven says john brennan has displayed unparalleled integrity and honesty leads me to understand that admiral doesn't understand the words of unparalleled integrity and honesty. john brennan ney be under investigation for perjuring himself under congress. does that count? the camp they're setting themselves up with, left-wing, near antifa level of dissent against the sitting president of the united states. donald trump has been doing a

incredibly fantastic job as president, these guys continue to try to prevent him from doing a job that the vast majority of americans acree with. so we have a polls, coming out now with republican support of the president are just amazing. so at the end of admiral mccraven's statement says he will keep doing this until donald trump acts in a way that they want him to act in. he is not going to. donald trump is currently acting the way of millions of americans that voted him in office we want hill to act in this manner because he is doing the job he said he was going to do. again it is fully inappropriate for these guys to be making these type of statements. brian: you said too, admiral mccraven i read his book, in awe of his service, great leadership ability. what a incredible commencements address he gave. i interviewed him a few times. but you believe he is somebody who is basically a democrat and upset with this republican administration more than anything else?

>> yes, absolutely. unequivocally. there is really two things. either the admiral's judgment is so skewed that he can't understand that the guy that he is backing, brennan truly is not who he says he is, or, i believe that he is doing political posturing for a future run for office which is his right al an american. if the admiral wants to run for office, come out to say you want to run for office. quit doing these type of things to denigrate a sitting president of the united states doing a hell of a job. brian: 60 intelligence officers also denounced president trump for his decision to strip away top secret security clearance for john brennan. what is your reaction to that? >> the first 12, very interesting, these guys that say this, one of course is james clapper who perjured himself in front of congress. another is general petraeus. no one other than our friend, comey testified in front of congress that general petraeus

was hiding top secret documents underneath the inislation his at tick. this is the person admiral mccraven wants lecturing our president how to handle security clearances and classified documents? i think that's wrong. admiral mccraven i'm sure voted for hillary clinton. that's fine. that is his right as an american citizen. hillary clinton set up an unsecuredded server in her bathroom in washington. brian: derrick van orden, a navy seal, upset one. commanders of the navy seals, admiral mccraven ripping president trump and saying it would be honor to have my security clearance removed as well. thank you. >> you got it, brian. brian: treatment of counsel done mcgahn, saying the mueller team is in desperation mode. former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy says no way he should sit down with mueller and we get

♪ steve: such a pretty morning. it is 70 degrees at 48th and sixth avenue, downtown manhattan. we're in the lawn chairs with andy mccarthy, former federal prosecutor and fox news contributor. we're talking a little bit about how "the new york times" got a blockbuster story, done mcgahn, the president's attorney, sat

down with robert mueller for 30 hours to spill the beans because the legal team said spill the beans because the president said he didn't do anything wrong. >> maybe if he didn't do anything wrong, why they let him spill the beans. maybe there is no beans to spill. what really comes out of this is two things. it is extraordinary for the subject of an investigation to allow the prosecutor to speak to the lawyer. that never happens. and secondly, mueller, we hear, wants to interview the president. that is what the big debates has been about for the last number of weeks. he needs to get past a hurdle that he has a need to speak to the president. i don't see how he gets past that if he has talked to a lawyer who can tell him what the president was thinking and what he was saying when he made the decisions that mueller is looking at. brian: but the word is, andy, i know you as an american citizen says great, looks like the president is innocent to let his counsel go. you as a lawyer is that wise to

let him do that? >> i don't think i would have done it. brian: it threw mcbegan off reportedly. he thought he was being set up. >> maybe, maybe not. there is lot of speculation in the article. since mcfan spoke to mueller, looks like the investigation is winding down. we had two indictments of russians. the case against the guys who were involved in the hacking, the actual intelligence officers where in the indictment there is is not even a hint, not a whiff that the president had anything to do with or campaign had anything to do with collusion. what we're also hear something is that mueller is quietly farming these cases out after he brings them. so, a couple of cases have gone. one has gone to new york, maybe two have. one in the hearn district of virginia. one got taken over by the justice department national security division. this doesn't look like mcgahn came in and dropped a bomb all of sudden there is criminal

liability. actually looks like entirely the opposite. ainsley: will mueller, the we're waiting for this report to come down. will he write the report or finish his report before paul manafort's cases and these other cases are tried? >> i really don't think so, ainsley. obviously the reason he has gone after manafort to see what he has on collusion with russia, if anything. with all the effort he put into that, i can't see him writing the report. ainsley: even though it doesn't look like there is collusion according to paul manafort? >> the trials are not about collusion, but manafort himself has connections to kremlin-backed ukrainians and other connections. he is probably very interested in that. steve: andy, we don't know who the leak came from regarding this "new york times" blockbuster. >> right. >> but rudy giuliani was on yesterday, he thought it came from brennan, i mean rather the mueller team. watch this. >> this is a desperate special counsel who leaked this to

"the new york times" illegally. could be mcgahn. mcgahn is not doing it. he would have done it a long time ago if he was doing it. they're down to desperation time. steve: former mayor said the truth is not the truth, mr. comey and the president both have two different truths when it comes to what happened regarding michael flynn. >> what i think he was trying to respond to there to the suggestion that was made an honest person never has anything to fear from going in and speaking to a prosecutor. i can tell you having been a prosecutor, the problem with that theory is you can be as honest as you want to be or can be, but up to the prosecutor to make the decision whether you were or weren't, whether to bring charges or not. a honest person is not in control of that decision. brian: knowing in your heart that you're telling the truth doesn't get you out of jail or trouble. let's switch gears talking about john brennan coming out yesterday, i wasn't being political, i will sue the president in order to get my

clearance back. does he have a case? into i don't see how he has a case. he is a former official. there is a wealth of evidence i laid out in a column last week of politicizing the intelligence when he had access to it. i think there is an immense case to deprive him of his security clearance. i wish he hadn't been singled out in a way that makes it look like a political vendetta, but there is very good case he should have his intelligence clearance revoked. ainsley: john bolton agrees with you. there is something we were talking about on the curvy couch earlier, when it comes to attorney/client privilege there are certain things president could have told mcgahn that mcgahn is not allowed to mueller, correct? >> i read the stuff how he represents the presidency, not donald trump. that to me seems like malarkey. brian: white house counsel? >> he represents the president in his official capacity. he doesn't represent an abstraction or institution.

he represents in the incumbent president carrying out official duties. ainsley: he said with mueller he can't answer that? >> we understand he didn't. there was a waiver, not only attorney/client privilege but executive privilege. brian: that lawyer could have been the source of this story. >> who knows. you never know. steve: doesn't sound like you think it was quite the blockbuster "new york times" that "the new york times" thought it was? >> i do think it is newt worthy and extraordinary that the president waived his attorney/client privilege and his executive privilege to allow 30 hours of questioning. steve: that is a blockbuster. brian: on the advice of john dowd and ty cobb. >> why would we assume it was bad for the president when everything objectively we efrom the outside, if that is the blockbuster is, i don't see it. brian: why would he -- he is still there trying to get brett kavanaugh in the supreme court. ainsley: president said i have nothing to hide. he allowed him to sit down with mueller. >> i never heard of that before. ainsley: transparency.

steve: andy, thank you very much. wind is picking up. brian: all weather expert, who can handle inside and outside crew better than friday. worst storm he has ever driven through. >> terrible. steve: 300 newspapers fired back last week with editorials against president trump, but our next guest says that hurts the media, not the president. ainsley: we're holding a luau on the plaza with dancers and food and music and a whole lot more. hula dancers. allergies with sinus congestion and pressure? you won't find relief here. go to the pharmacy counter for powerful claritin-d. while the leading allergy spray relieves 6 symptoms... claritin-d relieves 8, including sinus congestion and pressure. claritin-d relieves more.

allegedly in defense of the first amendment but i think it is pretty clear that all of these papers have been attacking the president day in day out and the point of my column ultimately is, this is really hurting the media. there have been a number of studies now, one for example involving 4,000 american adults who said that 70% of them said, they believe the main line news organizations publish false, fake and misleading information and they know it. they know it while they're doing it. the bulk of these people think that it is because the journalists have an agenda. now that is an incredible indictment of the main line media. steve: right. because going forward, how do you ever get that back? >> that's right. part of it is the agenda is showing. that is what the opinionization of the news has done, that every story is an opinion, has taken away any neutral fact-gathering. these attacks on the president are really back firing on the

media because, if it is about protectioning first amendment and free speech rights, if the public thinks you are misusing or abusing that right, they're not going to support it. i think that is what's happening. the papers, this is a crisis of confidence in american journalism. the newspapers and the major broadcast networks don't seem to notice. they just double down on the screaming and the shouting and the attacking. steve: when they do the screaming, the shouting, and the attack, if you do it, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, eventually it become as dial tone. >> that's right. it doesn't register anymore. people are tuning it out. 70% think the main line media organizations do this knowingly. steve: the reason the editorials got together because when they say the president calls us the enemy of the people, that is terrible. you don't think the press is the the enemy of the people. >> no.

i think the president should find another term. fake news works for him. it doesn't have any sense of mall lace towards individual journalists. the fear journalists will be targeted is legitimate. the president can make that point without raising that fear. steve: michael goodwin. read all about it in the "new york post." thank you, michael. we're bringing a taste of hawaii to the plaza. we're hosting a luau, with hula dancers, food, music a whole lot of more. ♪ this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now, from $899, during sleep number's 'biggest sale of the year'. it senses your movement, and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. it even helps with this. so you wake up ready to put your pedal to the metal.
