[ loud traffic sounds ]

[ distant traffic sounds ] [ music replaces the noise ] the new galaxy s10 on xfinity mobile. the phone and network designed to do more. switch and save today, and you get a new galaxy. say "get a galaxy" to learn more. the democrats are in deep denial. take look. >> amid an outcry from former national security officials who served in democratic and

republican administrations, over the unfounded accusation of spying. >> and it shows, i think, either a lack of understanding or willful ignorance. >> look, there's a robust tin foil hat community in the united states that truly believes that the government is spying on them. there's a deep state within the federal government. >> didn't back off that much, it's like a sean hannity script, if he wasn't doing hah what was he doing given there's no evidence for it. >> let's just say how very, very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails. >> this is a transparent attempt by the top law enforcement officer in the country to make an insendry charge without a shred of evidence. >> evidence? unbelievable. how about using the phony fake discredited dossier to get a warrant to spy on carter page?

the use of a human informant to infiltrate the campaign. or the unmasking of trump a's associates. accountability is coming. let's listen to devin nunes. >> there's five direct referrals based on lying, obstruction of a congressional investigation, and leaking. we have a global leaks referral which involves just a few reporters but could involve multiple people. i don't think it's that many people, they probably only have a few sources within the agencies. then you have conspiracy referrals based on the manipulation of intelligence. the second one is based on fisa abuse and other matters. that's where we stand, those are the eight referrals at this point. >> dan: joining me for reaction is author of the russia hoax, fox news legal analyst gregg

jarrett, former attorney sydney powell, and congressman mike turner. greg, i'll go to you first, this has to be surely one of the low points for the american media, the evidence for spying, your book, what a time to have a book called "the russia hoax." they're calling us conspiracy theorists as they promoted the russia hoax. the evidence of spice and spy-like is smacking them in the face. >> as you showed with the clips the mel owe dramatic anger and hysteria underscores that, you know, the terrific derangement syndrome is in a sad dementia among the media and democrats. they were opoplectic that mueller determined no collusion, now they're doggedly determined to destroy anybody who dares to tell the truth about the russia hoax. i feel badly for barr, barr is telling the truth, look up in the oxford dictionary spying is

secretly collecting information, it can be legal, it can be illegal, human observation, listening devices, electronic communications, photographs, video, all of that is spying. we have the warrant application. james comey signed off to it. comey takes the cake, the pompous, preteenious inglorious, when he says i don't know what he's talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign. reminds me of comey saying i don't know what that word leaking means. >> he said it was court ordered as if he had nothing to do with it, as if they kicked down his door and said you must could this. congressman, i'll go to you, next. what i find fascinating about the euphemism game of spy versus surveillance versus informant, sean dave interest at the federal interest has an excellent tweet thread, with them calling everything under the sun spying. everything was spying.

he has the actual headline. it is funny that your democratic colleagues are the word police on spying. >> well, everyone watching certainly google the synonym for surveil ladies and gentlemen and it's spying. from brennan, clapper, comey their allegations of possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia resulted in surveillance and that is spying. i think it's important that attorney general barr said he'll look at the genesis of this investigation and whether or not things were improper. as we know from what has has been made public, hillary clinton paid, democratic national committee paid opposition research that was placed into the fisa court to get warrants to undertake surveillance which is spying. >> dan: sydney, you are a former federal prosecutor, you are familiar with the law and how it works. serious question, are we mischaracterizing the use of a

fisa warrant, foreign intelligence court warrant, to access people's data, phone, text, e-mail, also the use of a human intelligence asset, three people, two we know were working in conjunction with them, we don't know about clovis. are we mischaracterizing this in your experience as prosecutor? >> oh, no, dan, we're not mischaracterizing it. the democrats will continue to unravel because this is the first time they faced any measure of accountability in decades for their egregious abuse of poer and this entire fraud on the american people o top of that it goes back further than the fisa warrants. we must remember the decision of rosemary collier, the chief judge the fisa court who has found that comey gave illegal access to the raw database to three private contractors as early as 2015. would i bet money one of those

was fusion gps and nelly orr working for brennan and struk. when and where do you think this started. >> dan: what you said, for everyone out there to view, if you doubt any word that she's saying, april of 2017, that fisa court review, that indicates that access to private contractors is out there for everyone to look at. greg, i think, some was detacted but you can check it out. the next shoe is the mueller probe i think. the mueller probe that's getting left out of everybody's conversation on this, when did mueller know exactly that this collusion was a hoax? you and i knew two years ago. so did any rational, sent yint being. what was he doing for 675 do yous. >> he knew as early as december of 2017, which is about 7 or 8 months after mueller was appointed special counsel. he certainly knew a year ago

from today. so why the american public had to go through this agonizing investigation that to some extent debilitated and deterred the president's efforts to advance policy decisions, why mueller sat on at least that part of it, no collusion part, is really bee wildering and -- bewildering and confounding. it was commissioned by hillary clinton, the dossier, what it's all about. and it was advanced by two nefarious characters, christopher steele and glen simpson. steele was fired for lying and he's gone into hiding. simpson invoked the fifth amendment and has clammed up. it is a crime, really that, our nation and a presidency was held hostage by two individuals who con injured out of thin air a lie. >> . >> dan: and he hires andrew

weissmann, mueller, who's briefed in 2015 about the dossier. he knows the entire time. congressman, is congress going to push this, jim jordan, mark meadows and the good congressmen and women going to make sure justice is served in this case? >> absolutely. even congresswoman stefanik has a bill that would make who comey did inappropriate under the law, didn't follow the rules or protocol, they have to notify congress. if the mueller report found no collusion, then there certainly wasn't any collusion when brennan, comey, and clapper were looking at it and they run all over all of the cable news saying that they are themselves saw evidence of collusion. and it's absolutely not correct. >> dan: sydney, thank you to all of you for joining me. president trump responded to congresswoman omar's shameful comments on 9/11. we'll have reaction, stay with us. elderly holocaust survivors.

with no food and no heat they get weaker and more die everyday. i want you to see their faces. look into their eyes that are haunted still by the memories of the past. they desperately need our help now. a simple blanket, food and medicine are life-saving during the holiday season. these are people who often have to go for days without food. this woman would die in a matter of days or weeks without our help. cold, sick, weak; the jewish people have suffered so much pain in their lives.

special edition of han yipt, justice in america. congress wouldman omar described 9/11 as some people did something. her embarrassing comments causing a new rift within the democratic party. the usual suspects will stick up for their fellow radical no matter what. >> we are getting to a level where this is an inassignment of violence against progressive women of color. if they can't figure out how to get it back to policy we need to call it out for what it is. this is not normal. >> i'm not for policing people,

that's what they're doing to women of color. this is a diverse class. they have never had so many women. this is not just a congress that looks differently but we serve differently, talk about the issues differently. >> dan: top level democrats are blasting the freshman congresswoman, watch this. >> insensitive, and it's offensive. on 9/11 radical terrorists attacked you see, new york city lost thousands of people. there's a lot of pain, in memory of 9/11, that pain isn't going anywhere. >> those staples were not only hurtful to me but extremely hurtful to everyone that was personally impacted by the terrorist attacks. no one should refer to what happened on 9/11 with terrorist attacks that killed thousands of americans as something by some people. >> dan: even president trump weighed in on the controversy on twitter today, posting this video with the caption, we will never forget. here's part of it, viewer

warning, it contains some disturbing to theage of the 9/11 attacks. >> it was founded after 9/11, they recognized that some people did something. >> you have no idea -- >> another plane just hit. >> some people did something. >> oh my goodness, there is smoke coming out of the pentagon. >> some people did something. >> dan: the congresswoman is remaining defiant, tweeting, quote, the people and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear us all soon, quoting george w. bush who she believes is downplaying the terrorist attacks. what if he was muzzled? and as a reminder, congresswoman omar still sits on the foreign affairs committee. joining me with reaction, new york congressman zeldin and tammy bruce. of all of the ways to describe a very unique horror in the

history of our country, up there can pearl harbor and mass murder on our soil, the imagery fresh in the minds of many. is there a more insensitive way to describe it than she did some at what point do you acknowledge it was horrendously worded and move on. >> it is an attempt to completely erase the reality of what occurred. to diminish it. it shocked -- her comments shocked the conscience of everyone for the most part, right? it was a shocking statement. it is unconscionable. and for me, and i want women in power, but what that requires is taking responsibility, owning your positions, owning what you say as opposed to deflecting. and then blaming other people. that is what children do. and i fight against all the time, as we all do, the efforts to infan tallize women, especially women of color, representative omar seems to be

infantlizing herself. the refusal to take responsibility, to in fact demand other democrats take this approach in her dismissal of that. that speaks to her belief. and i think we should take her seriously, absolutely. and she should take seriously that she shocked the conscience of this nation and if everyone in the western world who knows what that attack was and what it has led to. this is her responsibility. and of course in the process, the democrats, have to deal with what this means as well. and they're going to have to decide who they have become and americans certainly the democratic party base, is going to have to decide if this represents them and if it is appropriate if they accept it. >> dan: congressman, i'm stunned, the lesson of the mid-term elections i thought for the democrats, they were being reasonable, is that moderate candidates, connor lamb types, performed well in swingy type districts. do they really want to run in the house of representatives on

re-election on ilhan omar's comments? congresswoman has a history of making in some cases openly anti-semitic comments and refusing to back down. this cannot possibly be of any political advantage for the democrats in these upcoming elections. >> but instead of speaker pelosi leading the radical left she's being led by it. if she knows better, if she wants to stay as speaker, she wouldn't be elevating and empowering and embracing the anti-semitism, the pro bds, anti-israel hate by putting her on the house foreign affairs committee. this is some one who requested leniency for fighters, blamed u.s. foreign policy for the al she bab attacks. as we're talking about the latest comments made this week, by the way every single day this week there were new comments. this is just another week. they started off with just another monday. what happened this morning from

omar, you can call it the mother of all false equivalencies, trying to tie in president bush's speech he gave with the firefighters. they need to be held accountable. and you play a clip, remember what she said on opening day, when congress started, she said impeach the, i'm not going to repeat it on air. and comparing the president to hitler. she needs to police her own. she's going to be held accountable. hopefully for the sake of our country not speaker come january 2021. >> and remember, also, there's a videotape, and this is not even about disagreements really on policy. this is very bizarre at this point that should concern us, including a videotape of her mocking the american reaction to the names of al qaeda and hamas. >> i saw that. at one point laughing. >> laughing about it. this is strange. we can agree to disagree on tactics and how we reach our

policy positions. but representative ocasio-cortez also defending when there clearly is a very disturbing aspect to this, and i think, especially for the districts that they represent, those people and those districts deserve genuine representation that is serious. and these women, i should -- should be answerable to the constituencies and i hope the individuals there should have alternatives to be able to vote for somebody else. remember, with connor lamb, he did not have a primary opponent during the mid-terms. that is why he was able, i think, to move through. when you have got individuals who have opponents then i think some of the truth of what they represent eventually comes out. >> congressman, this new, you're inciting violence lane, alexandria ocasio-cortez jumps

to her defense, is becoming the new "you're a race interest" the democrats don't mean it it's just meant to suppress speech and shut down conversation. i find this really objectionable, when we make substantive comments about ridiculous absurdities like omar said, they jump down our throats, we're inciting violence while the left is engaging in violence on college campuses and saying nothing in many cases. >> right, dan, where we make no reference to race, religion, or gender well call us racist, sexist, islamophobic. we're having a problem with the double standards. if omar were a republican we would be naming names, boalted out of the foreign relations committee. the double standards, moral equivalency, hold the leadership accountable. if i wanted to raise everyone's taxes, the house republican steering committee wouldn't put me the ways and means committee.

if i wanted to undercut the u.s. military, if i wanted to handcuff our generals, the house republican steering committee wouldn't allow you on the armed services committee. hold omar accountable and the people elevating and promoting it. >> dan: i got to run, thanks, great comments as always. michael avenatti all sorts of trouble, again, and a big update in the jussy smollett space. our legal team is up next. voting for your favorite dancers on our show

a 38-count indictment, could put him behind bars for 335 years. accused hate crime perpetrator jussy smollett, going to be reviewed by the cook county inspector general. the ongoing saga of the college admissions scam, a fraudulent test taker plead guilty to conspiracy charges and money laundering. lori loughlin is said to be freaking about going to the big house and what that would could to her daughters. joining us to talk about these blockbuster legal case, attorney rebecca rhodes, mark iglarce and darryl parks civil rights attorney. rebecca, this case with the varsity blues, college admission scandal has everyone's attention. what is lori loughlin doing not taking a plea? is her lawyer not telling her? please, take the plea, you're dead on rights. >> i can't imagine.

as you know, you have sat in the room with so many perpetrators, i can't imagine anyone isn't begging her to take the plea. felicity huffman, took the plea. she admitted the guilt, she said i'm sorry, i apologize to students who my children took the place of. i mean she has been very gracious in light of the fact accepting the guilty plea, accepting being guilty. in this case i don't know what is happening. there's wire evidence, there's information, there's recordings, recordings of her sending money, there's information of her sending the money to, you know, the charity, the hoax charity. i mean, this is very clear cut from what we understand. there's not really any coming to an innocent verdict from a court of law. it's not going to happen. >> dan: i don't get it. mark, i don't get it, given your legal expertise and your experience at trial, i know

you've probably had clients who thought they knew better than you and finally you talk sense into them. do you have any explanation, everybody is innocent until proven guilty, i understand it's allegations. but the allegation are serious. publicly released evidence is pretty overwhelming. am i missing something here? >> i'm going to say that her lawyers are hopefully advising her correctly but she lives in an ulterior universe one that causes this type of activity, allegedly f i was representing her would i go to the closest foot locker, get the best pair of running shoes and have a run to the prosecutor's office, begging for some type of resolution, short of another indictment which she's facing because she failed to run to the government's office and beg for leniency. >> dan: you know prosecutors are human beings like everyone else, they must know at this point, they must see this as being

spiteful. i'm not saying anyone is acting unethically, but the evidence is overwhelming something happened here. >> and they also see, by the way, they see the footage on tv of her not walking into court, but her signing aument graphs, waving like she's on the cat walk, smiling and taking it all in. it was the worst p.r. i've ever seen. i don't get it. >> dan: darryl, your opinion, the evidence in the case, the innocent until proven guilty, we get it. but i think this case is fascinating, a lot of people know aunt becky from "full house" who possible motive would she have for holding out, ig norjs of the federal due jishl system? what advice would you give to her? >> well, without question she didn't serve herself well, she should have plead early in the case. her delay, given the reason she gave for the delay really weren't well served for her. i agree whole hortd heartedly, she needs to get this resolved with the federal prosecutors asap in massachusetts.

>> dan: on the jussy smollett case, another puzzling one, overwhelming amount of evidence he was not impacted, with the maga hats, carrying bleach coming from subway. instead of taking the loss and coming out publicly and getting good legal advice, this might be the bad legal advice, what does he do? he comes out and doubles down and he threatens them, the prosecutor and everyone else, for defaming him. am i missing something, is in another case of horrible vision? >> clearly, no attorney would possibly advise jussy to do any of this, to say any of this. any attorney, with any law school experience, and legal experience, could be out one year, please, jussy, go quietly into the night. thank them all very much, and keep moving. now, today, we have the head prosecutor saying she welcomes an inspector and a report for investigating her prosecution. okay, let's see what happens

now. because now the drama continues. now, it's not only jussy being difficult, it's the police department being out a lot of money, over $100,000. this is, i mean -- >> dan: quickly, any chance this $130,000 -- mark, ten seconds, any chance that the city gets this $130,000 back, i'll take you and darryl quick. >> yes, without question they should get their money. >> yes. >> dan: we'll see. thanks, guys. appreciate it. we'll be right back with final thoughts and hannity special.
