tv   Justice With Judge Jeanine  FOX News  September 7, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT

6:00 pm
follow me on facebook, disbram m and twitter. remember i'm jesse and this is watters' world. judge jeanine: hello, welcome to "justice accounts. thank."thanks for being with uso tonight. no show last night because of the tragic shooting in texas. but we're back tonight ready to cover the biggest political news of the week including congressman devin nunes, sarah sanders, our own friend dan bonn jean no as well as host of the dennis prayinger show, dennis prayinger and much more. "justice" did not air last week because of the breaking news. our hearts and prayers are with
6:01 pm
those of the shooting. i want you to take a lack at the ep 0ing statement that was set to air that night it's been more than a week since the inspector's findings of jim comey were made public. and the mainstream media has moved on but i haven't and you shouldn't either. take a look. ♪ you know what? the president was right to fire you. everything you did while you were at if fbi was for your political and egotistical advantage, starting with announcing that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute hillary clinton to your arrogance in removing classified confidential information from the fbi and giving information to your pal in order to get it to the "the new york times." by doing this, you, one person, james comey, you created havoc
6:02 pm
and chaos in this great country. but for your doing that, robert mueller would never have been appointed and america would never have had to endure the lies of russian collusion that you and your pals in the fbi created. your arrogance, jim, led you to believe once again that you were above the law. you took various documents that contain classified information and official use only and you removed them from the fbi. by doing so, you violated both the fbi's rules and policies as well as the terms of your fbi employment agreement. after being fired, rightfully fired as director by president trump, you took seven memos that you had no right to remove from the fbi that you never told anyone about and you placed them in your safe. this is contrary to the rules of the esteemed fbi, more esteemed
6:03 pm
since you left. and when you left, you were required to surrender all materials in your possession that contained fbi information. you did not. you sent some to your pal, richmond to get to the "the new york times" without seeking the necessary fbi authorization under the claim that they were simply your personal memos. the inspector general report makes it very clear that merely labeling a document personal or private does not alter its official nature. you gave some of those memos to your attorneys. the reports included that you improperly disclosed that information and that you were not authorized to do that. you simply decided to take matters into your own hands. your lack of candor and your inability to be straightforward and return those records, as well as your failure to reveal that you took those records,
6:04 pm
especially when the fbi, sent by andrew mccabe, came to your home to inventory and remove all of the fbi property you took. you did not say, when you had the opportunity and obligation, that you had fbi property in your safe. those memos that contained classified information had to be secured at a skiff and you know it, a sensitive exar exart mentl facility. but your arrogance has no bounds. after the report came out you were quick to attack those who had talked for years about your going to jail for being a liar and a leaker. take a listen to what you said last year. >> i didn't consider it part of an fbi file. >> you wrote it as an fbi director pipt was work product. >> no, it does not. it was my personal. judge jeanine: but when the
6:05 pm
report came out the ig said, quote, all comey well knew, classified information is never considered personal property. rather it is the property of the united states government. you know, jim, in your tweet, you complain about all of those who spent years talking about your going to jail or about being a liar or a leaker. but like all liars and leakers, you've got yourself convinced that you didn't lie. jim, read the reports. you violated the rules and cut hillary clinton loose on the same statute that you could have been charged with. you knew better than anyone that what you were doing was wrong. and if you want to read more about yourself after i wrote about you in "liars, leakers and liberals," my new book "radicals, resistance and revenge, the left's plot to remake america" gives you top billing again.
6:06 pm
don't you dare tell us that we are the liars and the leakers. you arrogant sanctimonious condescending low life. you have been found to be a liar and the leaker. and just before the department of justice is not prosecuting you on this, don't think for one second that you're home free, buddy. if nothing more, you'r your lyid leaking shows your intent to take down donald trump and your abuse of our courts in order to do just that. egger you did here is just another reminder of your putting your personal ambition and ego ahead of our country and patriotism. of your attempt to get even because you were fired. and of your hatred so intense that you caused this country to almost fracture over the appointment of a special prosecutor and the absurd idea of russian collusion. sure, the department of justice may have declined prosecuting you on this.
6:07 pm
but make no mistake, jim, your attempt to frame a president and surveil an american citizen to spy on a presidential campaign for your girlfriend hillary that you cut loose and then used the dossier paid for with her money, money laundered through a law enforcemenlawfirm to destroy dop will lead to your ultimate deserved rui ruin nation. that's my open. let me know what uy think on facebook and twitter. again that was the open that i wanted you to see last week. but i felt it was so important, since we didn't have a show last week, that i wanted to be sure you saw it. now tonight, because this cannot end here, but joining me now to talk about this issue and much more is republican congressman from california, devi devin nun. he's live in fresno where the fresno state bulldogs are
6:08 pm
playing the minnesota golden gon gophers. thanks for joining me. you've got a moak phone there, holding on to it. you look like a football spokesperson. how is it out there? >> i feel like i'm reporting live from a college football game, judge. we could start the game here. judge jeanine: we've got our own game here, a political game going on in this country. i want to continue with the one thing spinning from that open that i intended to use last week. you know, jim comey has been able to avoid prosecution even though it's clear that the attorney general scold have coue prosecuted him. do you have hope that at some point going forward, a quick answer on this one, that he will face justice in the criminal justice for the corruption that went on in the fbi under his tutelage? >> i can tell from your opening that you're probably not a big fan of mr. comey.
6:09 pm
we're still paying for his sins. the intelligence community for decades will pay for his sins. if people aren't held accountable. so i believe -- you know, getting comey on leaking or mishandling information, although important, is not as important as the overall larger conspiracy how he got led down this whole idea of a russia hoax which we now know from the ig report he's definitely involved in. judge jeanine: i just think that consequences are important and i think that the person people are interested in consequences. because, you know what, the justice shouldn't depend on what level you are in in society. not to suggest that there are levels. i want to move on from jim comey and i want to talk about you in particular. you have made a decision to file a lawsuit based upon your treatment when you were the head of the house intel committee and now of course you're the ranking member of the house intel committee. and it voches the fusion gps
6:10 pm
related company called a campaign for accounting. would you believe not only tried to harass and intimidate you, but your wife who is a schoolteacher, publishing her e-mails and doing everything they could the closer you got to information to show the corruption at the department of justice and the fbi. how -- you filed a rico statute and of course that has to do with the corruption, organized criminal enterprise. but you filed it civilly. you expect to get a trial date soon. what do you expect to get out of this and what is the essence of your complaint? >> well, what people have to understand out there is that, you know, we're not going to be able to fight these fights just on the legislative battlefield. the left for decades have been using the courts. they've corrupted the courts. we need the third branch of government to step up and start to do their job. one of the ways we can do this is by bringing case to the courts. and so i'm filing against fusion
6:11 pm
gps. there's no question -- what wero have day. we were investigating them and at the same time they were smearing me, slandering me, trying to intimidate me, doing that -- costing public schools a lot of money. these are all things that we need to prove in court. and i think that we'll get a trial date before christmas. i think the american people will finally begin to heal once some of these operations are shut down. and that's the bot to bottom li. these operations need to be shut down if we want to improve politics in this country and get back to a fair debate that's really a debate that people expect us to have with good decorum. not with this whole idea that you're going to be -- judge jeanine: i got it. glen simpson from gps, we don't know anything about him. i understood that he pled the
6:12 pm
fifth and all of the fusion gps guys did. that genius bob mueller who had no idea where he was said he didn't know what fusion gps was. these guys on the left are getting away with it. what i think is fascinating about your lawsuit is, as a public official, you chose not to go the way of defamation because with "the new york times" against sullivan you would have lost. but you instead went the way of a rico. that is unlike anything that anyone from congress has ever done before. it's almost like judicial watch and tom fitton. you need a different branch of government to provide you with justice. >> that's correct. and so -- and the only way we can do this is by using the civil laws that we are allowed. so i, as a public official, i still am granted -- i live under the same laws, and so does fusion gps and this campaign for accountability. we know they're together. they're thugs.
6:13 pm
they did this to bill browder. they were working for dirty russians. we know what they did to the trump campaign and they did it to me. it's just that i'm not going to take this. i'm going to use the laws that i'm availed by the constitution and i'm going to take them to court and hopefully we'll get a jury trial and i think the jury will see fit that this is not okay. this is not okay in the public square. this activity needs to stop and these people have to be held accountable. judge jeanine: good for you. i want to move on to something that just broke tonight where the president has tweeted that unbeknownst to almost everyone, major taliban leaders as well as the president of of ga afghanisn were set to meet on sunday at camp david and apparently they were coming to the united states tonight in order to resolve the issue of creating some kind of a
6:14 pm
peace treaty as it relates to an agreement which has been in the works for months, significantly reduce the u.s. forces in afghanistan. after 11 people were killed, including at least one american, the president decided to call the whole thing off. and he basically said, you know, if they can't even have a cease-fire during these important peace talks and would even kill 12 people and then take credit for it, they probably don't have the power or the interest to negotiate any kind of meaningful peace agreement. what is your take on that? >> well, i'm actually very happy with this. i don't believe that the taliban for a are not connected to al qaeda. they're al qaeda sympathizers. you've seen what they've been doing. every week there's a new
6:15 pm
bombing, a new suicide attack. this is america's longest war. i understand why the president wants to get out. the american people want to get out. i don't want to lose any more of our troops over there. but the bottom line is, if you want to leave, just leave. we don't need to have a deal with the taliban. and just look, at the end of the day if you harbor al qaeda again, we're going to be there to kill you again. i don't think cutting some deal with these terrorists is a good idea. and i say terrorists because there is only small shades of gray between the taliban and al qaeda. those are just the facts. and i think the president gave them an opportunity, he gave them an opportunity to be at the table and they just didn't want to take it, judge. judge jeanine: good for the president for trying to at least work out an agreement with them. and they've proved who they are over and over again. right before i say good-bye, is there a team you're favoring tonight? >> well, you're right in the heart of my district here in the
6:16 pm
valley. you were just on the radio here yesterday. so fresno state. we're looking forward to a big victory tonight. judge jeanine: you can keep the microphone and run around tell people you're reporting on the game. congressman devin new ne new des for joining us. next, aoc is at it again, breathlessly calling for impeachment. dan bongino joins me live to talk about that and a lot more. it will be a hoot. dan is up next. don't miss it. ♪ ♪ so, every day, we put our latest technology d
6:17 pm
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
judge jeanine: aoc is doing what she does best. rallying the trump haters by
6:20 pm
demanding once again that the dually elected president be kicked out of office. here's her latest tweet this week, the president is corrupt and must be impeached. and give her credit, like me good politician, she knows how to fire up her base. joining me now, fox news contributor dan bongino. what do you think of this woman? she's out there and hootin' andd hollerin' again. >> congrats on the book. love the book. congrats. really good job, judge. judge jeanine: thank you. >> on aoc. her twitter feed is getting so outrageous. candidly, it's getting difficult to take her seriously anymore. that president trump should be impeached on allegations that you think he's profiting off of people buying a few hotel rooms in a trump resort? judge, let's try to be rational, unlike aoc's twitter feed of
6:21 pm
absurdities for a moment. the president doesn't take a valley. he leaves 500,000 dollars plus a year on the table to not take a salary. number two, do you think that endless bs charges of treason, all of this other nonsense president trump is an insta phobic. do you think this is helping his business? do you think president trump ran for the presidency thinking this was going to build his business profile? i get it, she doesn't have a lot of business experience. judge jeanine: she's a bartender. >> this is so obviously stupid that any rational person thinking about it would be that you really believe that the president is profiting off of it? one more thing. notice how they leave out the fact that hillary clinton, who had zero business experience at all, is a multiquad drill nair and her husband and foundation took half a million dollar speaking fees from russia. nobody mentions that. they're worried about a hotel room in a trump resort.
6:22 pm
judge jeanine: used to make tl mollie 99 which is women need in to country for breast cancer. you know what i'm curious about? i'm curious about the next time, if there is one, a democrat president is elected. are the republicans going to reply in kind? what do you think? >> new rules, judge. let's see if they like the rules we impose upon them. judge jeanine: i agree. >> i don't think we should do anything immoral because we're conservatives and we believe in our god-given rights. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't use their political tactics against them. fit's fair to probe into somebody's business history back when they were born in diapers, and any dollar that anybody ever made in their life, what's fair is fair. we should do that too as long as we don't do anything immoral. judge jeanine: the prenatal
6:23 pm
stages too, before they were born. >> why not. judge jeanine: absolutely. all right. >> very fair. judge jeanine: let's talk about jim comey. jim comey now skates, which of course if you saw my open, makes me a little crazy. so now we've got even more information coming out this week about the fact that he had someone inside the white house. talk to us about that. >> this is one of the more -- the comey saga never ends. just when you think you've reached peak jim comey, there's more jim comey. there's a story breaking that they had a special employee with a special designation in the white house on the national security council. this guy is reporting back to the fbi. during the time this whole spying operation is going on. and he specializes in cybersecurity type stuff. you may be saying sho twb so, ts nothing interesting about that. he leaves the fbi after comey is fired and goes to work for a company that's contracted by
6:24 pm
buzzfeed to then go verify the dossier. and the person who takes his place, it's alinled, signed him back in the white house while he was working for the private company trying to verify the dossier. this is like a spy story for idiots. judge jeanine: signs him back into the white house when he's working somewhere else and he's there to verify the dossier? >> yes. not just that he's working somewhere else. he's working for a company there to verify the dossier while he was detailed inside the white house before. i mean the comey saga never ends. like this can't possibly -- he couldn't have been this dumb. but i really thought he didn't think trump would win and after that he panicked. judge jeanine: but the hate. you can talk about aoc, she's a politician and she can't stand the president. i get all of that. she's a little whatever herself. but this guy, jim comey, he was
6:25 pm
the head of the fbi. he was the united states attorney. i knew him. he w was bright as hell. he's not a stupid guy. for him to turn this corrupt, do all of this in an effort to make sure that his ideology was the ideology that was going to survive, that a president would be framed and that they would then all go off and whatever, make millions or whatever they planned on doing -- i hear a lot of them had already bought space in washington so they could make their hundreds of millions of dollars. in is just stunning. it's disgusting. so the question, i'm sick of asking this, i really am. which i why i haven't asked it much lately. is there going to be justice? is this guy ever going to be indicted? is durham going to do it? is bill barr going to do it? >> i was on with you last week and i know we didn't get to see it because to have dreadful shooting but the bad news is i
6:26 pm
don't think so and it's because of something you just said. jim comey is very very smart. he's an awful person. he did terrible things as the fbi director. but wh he did with the memos, he outsmarted these guys. he leaked the classified memos but waited to ensure they were classified afterwards, had special access given to one f his lawyers and then later on claimed the same lawyer was his personal lawyer. he knew in advance. me planned this things out. this is an awful terrible person. but the bottom line, as a legal case, this was a loser against comey. he planned the whole thing out. judge jeanine: dan bongino, thank you so much. sarah sanders is here in the studio with me next. don't go away.

. live from america's news
6:30 pm
headquarters. a shakeup at the massachusetts institute of technology. the director of mit's prestigious media lab resigning over financial tie to jeffrey epstein. he admitted to taking 525,000 dollars for the lab. that's on top of an additional $1.2 million for personal investments. the school's president has ordered an independent investigation into the matter. prodemocracy demonstrations in hong kong continuing for a 14th straight weekend now. clashes breaking out between protester and security forces outside a police station earlier today, even after hong kong's government pulled a controversial extradition bill this week that sparked the initial demonstration. protesters are calling for fundamental political reform. now back to "justice" with judge janin jeanine.
6:31 pm
judge jeanine: you heard my open. we can't let jim comey off of the hook. earlier i talked to one of my newest colleagues here at fox to talk about that and more. take a look. joining me now is former white house press secretary and brand-new fox news contributor sara huckabee sanders. welcome to "justice." great to have you as part of the family. to have someone like you here is really great for not just people like me but for the audience as well. i'm going to start with the whole idea of what my open was about and that is the inspector general's report, jim comey pretty much skating on that. but the inspector general made it clear that there was lying and there was leaking. and yet the media is almost dead silent about it. and bill barr could have prosecuted. juks thajuxtapose that against b mueller and the fact that mueller said there was no collusion and the media went ballistic for months. explain that.
6:32 pm
you worked with them. >> i think that shows exactly what kind of bias is out there against the president. look, let's not forget, this is the third ig report to come out and show that comey was a liar and a leaker and he disgraced himself and did a total disservice to the fbi. think we're seeing more and more and more and continued reasons why the president was completely right in firing james comey. he was unfit to lead the fbi and he didn't need to be there. the sad thing is if democrats were honest with themselves, they all said that right up to the moment that the president fired jim comey. they thought the same thing. only once the president made the move did they start to disagree with him. we'll see what happens and whether the department of justice and attorney general barr take any action. i think attorney general barr has done a phenomenal job. judge jeanine: her's the thing. i'm going to interrupt you. as i go around the country with my book fair, everyone said jeanine are there ever going to be charges. i believe in bill barr.
6:33 pm
i talk about the fact that he's a slow locomotive. nobody is going to get him off of the track. but i haven't seen him do anything yet. why are you so sure? >> i think he's going to do the right thing. at the end of the day -- judge jeanine: jim coh comey hao be indicted for what he did. >> i think he's lucky that he's not already in prison. we'll see what happens. i have total confidence in bill barr. e hes shown himself the's shownl leader. there certainly should be consequences and i think the american people want to see consequences jnconsequences. judge jeanine: i just don't want them to lose fate. i spent 30 years in the justice system and i'm still a believer and i don't want to be disappointed. but i want to move on to something else. we got the jobs out, 195,000 new jobs in the private sector, 3.7%
6:34 pm
unemployment, the lowest in 50 years or maybe even more. and yet you have people like bill mar hoping for a recession which would cause people to lose jobs. debra messing wanting to out people so they lose their jobs if they puppet donald trump. what is going on in the country. you were, you n you know, at the center of all of this. >> i think the democrats are collectively losing their minds. they would rather see our country fail and the president not be successful so they get one of their people in. i can't imagine thinking that way. i hope i never become like the democrats are right now, that they would rather our president fail and america not continue to grow, continue to be successful so that they should change who is in power. that is a terrible way to look at this country. i think the president has done a tremendous job and he's not just growing the economy for one sector. he's growing it for all americans.
6:35 pm
women are doing better, african-americans, hispanic americans, everyone is doing better under the trump economy and it's time for us to celebrate the fact that america is winning. judge jeanine: they're never going to do it. >> they don't want to. they would rather see him fail. i think that is a disgray and i think it's sad and i hope the republicans never become that way. judge jeanine: and they don't answer in kind. people ask me that too. but i want to move on to a big issue. you know, when congress comes back there's going to be a lot of discussion about guns. and just within the last 24 hours cbs, walmart, kro ger kroe preventing people from coming in with guns even in states where there are open carry laws. does this help the discussion at all? >> i'm a parent. i have three young kids. there's nothing more terrifying at some times than being a parent in the world that we live in today.
6:36 pm
you know, whether you drop your kids off at school, whether you're at a movie, a grocery store, a shopping mall, you want your kids to be safe. it's the number one thing you're trying to do is keep them safe. so i'm always open and looking for ways that we can do that. whether or not these actions, these companies are taking can change things, i don't know. but i do think we have to have a realliereal discussion. this is not as much a gun issue as it is a moorl issue. moral issues. we have to look for ways to bring the country together. we have to have discussions and disagree with people without being kicked out of restaurants and fear of losing our job. we have to have respect for each other and i think we need to have a step back open not make this a gun issue. it's heart issue. it's whether or not we're going to teach our kids and raise our kids to respect one another,
6:37 pm
value one another and value life. we're a culture that no longer values life. look at some of the things that are happening right now and how some of the democrats, the comments they've made about the pro-life community, we are not valuing life. and when we do that, we put, i think, everybody in jeopardy. i think we really have to take a look at how we have this conversation. make it less about guns, more about respect and treating each other the way we would want to be treated. judge jeanine: if you're in kroger's and you're with your kids and someone who is a criminal has an illegal gun, wouldn't you want to have a gun? >> and that's one of the things that i think we're kind of looking at this from the wrong perspective. a lot of times it's not the people that are following the law that are doing these types of, you know, hain yous crimes. obviously i think everybody in this country would love to never see another mass shooting. and i think we have to look at that approach. the idea of taking guns away from law-abiding citizen is
6:38 pm
going to help? i don't see that reusing -- but again, the best thing we can do is have some real conversations about why we have this problem in the first place. it's not the guns. it is the people taking this action and we have to figure out how to bring those people back -- judge jeanine: background checks is that going to help? >> that's been a huge topic of discussion in congress. but again we have to stop looking to government to solve all of our problems. so much of this needs to start at home. i need to do it with my kids and so does everybody else in america. we have to quit looking at government to solve every problem we have and start doing it more in our homes. judge jeanine: sara huckabee sanders thrilled to have you on "justice." two important interviews we wanted to bring you last week are next. starting with host dennis prager of the prager show. don't go away.
6:39 pm
6:40 pm
6:41 pm
6:42 pm
judge jeanine: we've. talking about how the radical liberal left continue to push their agenda in an effort to remake america under their socialist ideals. amid this effort there is another critical concern and it's the censorship of conservative voices, especially by social media platforms. what can be done and what up imt could this have on the race for 2020. host of the prager show, dennis prager joins me with more. you have been making some press lately and apparently google restricted five minutes of an animated video produce bid prager u. why don't you lay out what happened. >> we produce a video every week at the prager u. we have a billion views a year.
6:43 pm
it's the largest conservative video site in the world and it's very effective. 60% of our viewers are under 35 years of age. we found out a couple of years ago after nothing going on, google decided that they would put a fair number of our videos on their restricted list. meaning if you have a filter against pornography, violence, obscenity, then you will not be able to see that video. it's not monetized. and it is not available in libraries or schools. so what did they put on it? none of your videos have sex, none of our videos have obscenities. every one of our videos can be seen by a young person. we think of young people when we produce it. they're as innocent as you can get. i mean alan dershowitz, a liberal democrat is doing a five-minute video on the films of israel is on the restricted list. i have a video -- i have ten videos on the ten commandments. one of the commandments is thou
6:44 pm
shalt not murder. that's on the restricted list. when i testified about this for senator ted cruz in the senate a few weeks ago, he asked the google represent why is mr. prager's video on the ten commandments, why is that -- why did you put that on the restricted list. and with a straight face under oath the man from google which owns youtube said, because it mentions murder. judge jeanine: oh my goodness. has he watched television lately? this is crazy. the ten commandments are mature content? >> yes. i said to senator cruz, all right, we're going to make a google friendly nine commandments. judge jeanine: this has got to be frightening for you. youtube is a private company and it operates on private property.
6:45 pm
so what can you do about this? >> okay. so this is -- i am a big believer -- my entire life i've always said clarity before agreement. let's be clear. the most powerful by far -- i mean almost a monopoly on information is google/youtube. they are left wing organizations that want to crush us. they admit it. we have the video of their saying right after the 2016 election, an internal video that somebody took, we cannot let this happen again, this is a fafedisaster for america. we have an internal picture of an e-mail sent out called ben shapiro were jordan peterson at prager u nazis. we have project ver very to brot
6:46 pm
major figures to whistl whistle. thlet's begin -- before a solutn you have to know the disease. the doctor can't cure you if we don't acknowledge that there's an illness. judge jeanine: you laid it out. so what happens now? freedom of expression, it doesn't apply to them? >> no. they say it does not apply to them because they're private companies. it only apply to the government. if that is the case -- well, all right. first of all, they want to run their place as if it is a publisher, meaning i can decide what to publish. but a publisher is liable to lawsuits against lies and slanders. but -- judge jeanine: but they're not. >> they claim they're a public forum. they're not a public forum. it is clear -- and i hate to say this because i don't want government intervention. the government will have to get involved in this monopoly.
6:47 pm
judge jeanine: it will. and you to get a copy of my book. >> i want you on my show. judge jeanine: i'll be there. all right, dennis prager, thanks so much. >> bless you. thank you. judge jeanine: is america's power grid vulnerable to attack? we're going to talk about it next. -their béarnaise sauce here is the best in town. [ soft piano music playing ]

6:49 pm
6:50 pm
judge jeanine: here on "justice" we've covered the vulnerability of america's power grid and the critical need to do everything to protect it. my next guest joins me now to discuss the latest threats and which what can be done to finally se deu secure the future
6:51 pm
grid. tommy is vice president of the center for security policy manages the secure the grid coalition. but one who is also a u.s. marine combat veteran with service in afghanistan, iraq, africa and latin america. thank you for being here and thank you for your service. this issue of the grid has long been one that's bothered me and for a while it went off the grid, so to speak. but president trump has recently, i believe in the last six months, issued an executive order about the grid. can you tell us what that is? >> absolutely, judge. and i appreciate you mentioning my service. i do want your viewers to understand, though, that nothing that i ever did in yuan quorum p form or that i will ever do be pale in the service of those who keep the lights on in this country. that's what's incredible about the leadership of president trump. in two years, judge, he accomplished more than any other president had in the two decades

that emp has been declassified. what i'm talking about is electromagnetic pulse. it could be cat graphic if the nation's grid. and so the president issued an executive order in march that directed the federal government to take the threat seriously. it's only as good as the execution of that order jnl and judge jeanine: and i remember for years afollowed this. there was hearings and nothing happened. we have a grid in this country where it's a series of local power grids that are connected. is the military still on a civilian grid? >> yes, ma'am. the military is just as dependent on the civilian grid as the rest of the civilians. president's executive order inspired people, including people in the military to take this and run with it. there's an electromagnetic task force that was established by a

general that looked at the threat and brought in military experts, government experts, civilian experts together to try to really actualize those things that the president directed in the executive order. but just like you've -- judge jeanine: what does it mean. go ahead. >> judge, you've chronicled in your book -- and i appreciate you giving me a copy a couple f days ago. we could add an epilogue on the swamp that is out there trying to derail the president's intent for emp protection. let me read from a legal document from one of the electric lobby organizations. energy and security staff at the energy department in capitol hill routinely downplay or dismiss emp concerns in private yet the public called to address the issue remains. so the president knows that the ub public is aware of this. anyone that can study the threat

knows how important it is. judge jeanine: what can my viewerviewers do, tommy? >> get smart about it and support anyone who has taken it seriously. our website gives them an opportunity to learn about it. right new at this moment they should realize that there is a swamp when it comes to this issue. that three-star general that i just told you about, you know he's being forced to retire. on this sunday, tomorrow, he'll be out of uniform. and that sends an incredible message to those folks in government trying to do the right thing to take action on the things that the president thinks are important, like protecting our national infrastructure from emp. i would just ask your viewer to pray for the general and all of these in the government. great civil servants and patriots doing what they can to protect our next against this very serious threat. judge jeanine: you've got that serious threat and then on the personal level as well. look. we're dealing with players like

north korea, china, russia. i mean you've got an electromagnetic pulse. as i recall from a few years ago, they had the ability to take down with a nuclear projectile one of the electromagnetic pulse, i'm not sure if i've got the lingo right, and nothing has been done, has it? >> very little. until president trump has come along. and there are utilities in this count think that are taking it seriously and working hard. but as an industry, the industry hasn't taken it as seriously as they should. the thing i'll mention, judge, when anyone studies this topic, it engenders fear. it makes people want to run for the fro tear. our founders had an infinite frontier to run to and they didn't. they turned and fought tyranny. what we need to do as a nation -- this is bipartisan. it affects everyone. we need to fight the tyranny of
