you're the greatest pundits ever, that is the story but as always "the story" i'll se cont, i'll see you monday. >> good evening and welcome to a special edition of "tucker carlson tonight." the investigation into the russia investigation has become a criminal probe. originally the doj's inquiry into how the russia hoax got going was supposed to be just an administrative but now prosecutor john to rome is looking for full-blown crimes. the new classification gives durham the subpoena to witness testimony, demand documents, impanel a grand jury, and

president trump gave a thumbs up to the investigation. >> investigate the investigators! whether it's strozk and page, whether it's clapper and whether it's comey and all of these people. because terrible things went on for our country. this was the worst hoax in the history of our country. >> mark: he may be right about that. for two years, media and political elites in washington went all in on the russia collusion conspiracy theory. they spent the last day shrieking that this investigation is actually the real conspiracy. >> it's alarming because we know trump is itching to publicize the justice department. conspiracy theory that they are trying to deflect attention away from, the entire impeachment proceedings. everything we know about this is totally bogus. >> vladimir puritans got to be loving it. >> absolutely. what's going on with barr and

giuliani are trying to do, that's not real investigations. >> it's deeply troubling what bill barr is doing. rather than attorney general of the united states. >> absolutely. this focus on relitigating what happened in 2016, the election, is that what got the administration in trouble in the first place? >> it is and it's a conspiracy theory. >> mark: andy mccarthy is a former f just the author of a splendid book, "all the collusion: the plot to rig an election and destroy a presidency." andy, mr. durham like you are is a federal prosecutor and presumably he wouldn't be put on this case if there weren't at least the potential for a criminal prosecution at some point. >> that's right, mark.

we are all hammers and every fact pattern is a nail. the whole point of assigning a prosecutor to something is to look at it in terms of whether a crime was committed. i actually be quite surprised if anything in their day-to-day function in as it's been going on the last several months is any different today that it was yesterday. in fact, i've had a chance the last couple of months to go around the country and talk about the book. i think what would've actually surprised people is if you had told them the day before yesterday that durham was only doing an administrative inquiry. i think of what he expected that this was being looked at like a prosecutor looks at a case. >> mark: one thing that's new about this is we've heard all these reports about cia employees lawyering up. for the last couple of years, the fbi has been in the front line. when you look at it from the overseas and mack with these am

i six characters , alexander downer, who ran australia's secret intelligence service when he was the foreign prime minister. their connection with the united states would be through the cia, wouldn't it? in that sense, yet. the cin's is the cia on the hook here? >> it's your hood, mark. when you look at this and the full continuum of the investigation, the fbi and justice department are almost late to the party. this actually almost started as strands of foreign intelligence that came in to the government through the cia and that ended up with the bureau because the cia acted as a kind of clearinghouse board. it really goes back to the second half of 2016 after trump gets into the campaign. it's always been kind of a misunderstanding to look at it as if it were one investigation

up until the very end. it was really about foreign intelligence and, you know, every place we operate in the world, particularly all the activity in the investigation that took place in britain, we cooperate with the foreign government in those places where there was a lot of forward activity here. i think that's where the real collusion was. >> mark: there is talk about actually sending subpoenas to brennan and clapper, who were the highest figures in the obama intelligence bureaucracy. is that -- because the theory there is slightly more than you would think, which isn't that for intelligence came in, but that these guys in washington essentially outsourced elements of the operation to m icex and others and let it fell back to. are we going to actually see cia directors and national intelligence director's giving

sworn depositions? >> i think you might end up seeing them as witnesses by congress in various proceedings that were relevant to this a lot of what i quote in the book comes from his own testimony. this is not like and he figures out with the ca is up to. he also what he didn't say in his testimony he said on msnbc. i would think they are very relevant witnesses. >> do you think he's actually perjured himself and lied as seems to be cleared to most of us? >> i never tried to get out in front of that. let's see what durham has. barr has.

i think will get a window into it within the next three weeks or so as i anticipate will finally get this inspector general's report. >> mark: thanks for that, andy. michael flynn's attorney says she has proof that the fbi derivatively and trapped her client and that the plot to entrap him went all the way up to then director james comey. fox's gillian turner is on. >> thank you, mark. attorneys for president trump's former national security advisor michael flynn is claiming the government is withholding evidence of his innocence, attorney sidney powell filing an explosive new claim alleging that fbi agents manipulated official records from flynn's 2017 interview which led to charges being arrested by investigators. now urging the court to "dismiss the entire prosecution for outrageous government misconduct and hold the prosecutors and

contempt." this is latest in a series of attempts made to get the case thrown out after pleading guilty lying to the fbi on december 1st of 2017. in this 37 page long court document, high-ranking nfl officials orchestrated an ambush interview of the new president's national security advisor. not for the purpose of discovering evidence of criminal activity, but for the purpose of trapping him into making statements they could allege as false. powell also insisting that this is no paranoid conspiracy, dilution. the origin of this case is an fbi interview when flynn was asked about the conversations, but the former russian ambassador said ultimately pled guilty about those conversations about tell that part of former special counsel mueller's investigation into president trump. federal prosecutors had back, calling the defensive filings so

far, "a fishing expedition." the defendant's new counsel sought to get the charges dropped, and perpetrated conspiracy theories. all while stating the defendant does not intend to withdraw his guilty plea. now specifically, flynn's lawyer says fbi officials tampered with the fbi 302 form. that's the document agents use to summarize interviews. they are not saying, mark, who exactly they think manipulated that forum. >> mark: that's very interesting, gillian. actually, those 302 forms are quite ridiculous and at some point the fbi should get rid of that and move into the 21st 21st century. buck sexton joins us. what's interesting about this is the legal pleading here makes it look as if they deliberately at

the highest level set out to create the conditions in which general flynn would commit a so-called "crime" by misremembering as it were. >> this builds hereditary what we already know. this could have been a logan act violation which anybody knows that it's not a crime anyone's been charged with. it was really an ambush interview. they try to make sure he did not inform white house counsel, make sure that he was not prepared for this, discover and see the fbi agents lied or thought he was lying, where they hiding of exculpatory evidence after the fact and trying to use that they were able to pressure general flynn into a plea bargain right away, and now it's all open with. a federal judge can say hold on a second, maybe we need you need to take a look at this, hold people in contempt on the

prosecutorial side, and they should drop all charges and drop the guilty plea that general flynn has already entered. >> mark: may quote at the top of their brief this case from 1921, which basically says law enforcement should not be going around essentially inventing a crime to find someone guilty. that's actually not the job of law enforcement to do that. what's interesting is the attention to detail they did in an trapping of general flynn, including what looks like taking their own rules. like these 302s which is a stupid thing anyway but it's meant to be written within five days of the actual event, and it's clear from peter strzok's so-called 302 is that he coughed it up sometime after. >> one time i knew when i worked at the nypd, never speak to the fbi without a lawyer present. you have to really be careful. why was after-the-fact notes be

treated as enough in this case? there are no allegations those notes may have been tampered with, added to, some key context. how is that i left to get someone on very specific lies when the whole problem here is whether or not the person remembered accurately based on their own recollection what they have been asked about? why not take these interviews, by the way? it's just quite bizarre, which is why some events counsel insist on taping everything at the fbi. >> mark: you don't even need to go to radioshack and buy a cassette recorder and a more. >> everyone. >> mark: that's the problem here, flynn was broke and he agreed to and did the thing you're meant to do with the feds. he settled. >> of course. there is a degree of embarrassment as well. he's a national security advisor, served his country for 30 years honorably. now he's being called a federal felon.

he wants to move past this and move on, but he can only base his decision making at this point in the information that should have been presented that would be exculpatory for him and if the allegation is true, the fbi has good files, exculpatory information should have been presented before he made this plea and that was enough, people should be accountable for holding it back, just ask the family of senator ted stevens what that's about, and they should be a judge looks at this and says maybe this whole thing was a sham. i think the information points towards that. i think the whole thing against flynn should be dropped. >> mark: i agree with you. thank you for that, it is time for somebody to do some serious work of quitting up federal justice. as buck said, this has happened before. elizabeth warren is the latest democrat candidate to promise an aggressive gun grab as president. wait until you hear what she's planning to take from you. that's just ahead. first, at another country to the growing list of geographical

hot spots contemplated is accused of shady business in. hunter biden is accused of a shady business in. that's next as we continue. devices are like doorways

>> mark: it may be easier to make a list of countries that hunter biden isn't accused of corruption in. first it was ukraine, china, kazakhstan, and the united states. new questions about biden's legal work in romania this time. well, his father was supposedly

fighting a corruption in the country, and by coincidence hunter was this time providing advice to a real estate tycoon accused of orchestrating a corrupt land deal. on "60 minutes," joe biden try to dismiss the scandals involving his son by saying, don't worry, his son is not going to be a part of the new biden administration. >> if i'm president, elected president, my children are not going to have offices in the white house. they are not going to sit in a cabinet. you should make it clear to the american public that everything you are doing is for them. >> mark: yeah. don't worry, because hunter won't be in the white house. he'll be on the board of some company in the south sandwich islands. enemy larson is a political reporter for the "washington examiner" and joins. emily, why would somebody accused of a crime, a terminal

real estate deal in romania hire a lawyer who has the surname biden? >> hunter biden was hired by this lawyer because of his connection to joe biden at the same time joe biden was pushing against corruption in romania. he was pushing against corruption in ukraine. joe biden can say he doesn't want his children to be serving in the white house or attending board meetings, but he's also being judged on what he did when he was vice president of a heartbeat away from the presidency. he wasn't able to answer at the debate last week why it was okay to have a sudden serve the position was vice president but doesn't want them to serve like that when he is president. >> mark: the way hunter seems to follow daddy around the

globe, so biden is made the point man and next thing you know hunter is getting 50 grand a month from some ukrainian company. next, biden becomes the point man on romania and suddenly an accused man in romania is extremely eager to hire hunter biden's mediocre legal services. isn't it this synchronicity that smells ridiculous here? >> certainly, strain synchronicity. the biden pluralists say they did nothing illegal and did nothing wrong. there is a lot of interpretation whether they did anything wrong. there's a lot of democrats who think may be biden should've interviewed when his sons business dealings kept him from this appearance of a cooperative interest, though not a direct conflict of interest. i think it's not only is he tangled up in

this legacy, big, powerful, big legacy democrat type dealings, but he's also lacking in fund-raising, he has frequent stumbles on the campaign trail, and a lot of democrats are looking to see if they can find somebody better. >> mark: i don't know why he's lacking in fund-raising, because you think hunter biden's stint in burisma would help that. speaking of democratic evidence, elizabeth warren has revealed her gun-control plan, as you might expect it means less freedom for you, more power for her? >> should be doing background checks, we should be taking weapons of war. it is a good idea. >> mark: senator warren adding her voice to what's already on the agenda for every type democrat candidate. >> two gun owners out there who

say, well, a biden administration means they are coming for my guns... >> bingo. you are right if you have an assault weapon. >> i do believe that we do need to do buybacks and i'll tell you why. they are weapons of war. with no place on the streets of civil society. >> yes, we are going to take your ar-15 familiar ak-47. they will not be used against fellow americans anymore. >> mark: elizabeth warren is joining the party. a former army ranger, snapper, attorney, firearms advocates, and he joins us. thanks for that, ryan. let me ask you this because she is proposing to do things like increase the tax on ammunition. for example, it would be up to 30%. it in effect treating it i guess the way we do with gasoline and cigarettes. and gradually making it prohibitively expensive.

something you have to think about buying. >> absolutely. it's disgusting. we already have an excise tax on firearms and ammunition. that's already a huge burden on the firearms industry. why should people that don't necessarily support guns care? it's because it's a fundamental right. we are taxing if in the mental right and by making things more expensive, all you are guaranteeing is some people that might need a firearm for self-defense the most that can afford it no longer have the opportunity. i think it's horrible. >> mark: the thing about it is doesn't seem to bear any relation to what is used in these mass killings that everyone is upset about. if you look at the virginia tech one for example, that was handguns. >> absolutely. >> mark: the same with the parkland shooting. if you look at what ms-13 are doing, they are terrorizing communities all over the united states just using

machetes. this seems to be one of these other less things in order to get this guy or other guy, you are going to be ensnaring thousands of legal, peaceful gun owners. >> exactly right. we like to point out that criminals don't like to obey laws. even beto o'rourke was caught like that where he would have no answer to make criminal obey laws. the tolerant left, when they attacked me after i appear on here, they say should we give up them, should we have no laws and give up her criminals placement that's not what i'm saying. when i say criminals don't obey laws, i don't say let's not have laws but i say let's make sure the laws we are putting in effect aren't unduly burdening law-abiding citizens like these kind of laws well. i don't even know what a weapon of war is. it's scary to me when i have so many politicians out there calling for socialist principles that tend to lead to bad outcomes or countries and their people, they are jumping straight ahead and trying to ban

the guns now. >> mark: something change with the democrats. go back to john kerry 15 years ago, if he was campaigning in rural states command you to make a point of going and being seen duck hunting, somewhat implausibly. i think he's the only chap i've ever known go dear shooting in new hampshire crawling along in his belly which isn't the way most of my neighbors do it. they seem to have abandoned those gestures. they are becoming an especially anti-gun party. >> definitely right, mark to go back that far, a year ago i was hearing, we aren't coming for your guns. not everybody is trying to come for your guns. i sympathize a little bit. don't get me all the hate mail for it. i think they are trying to do the right thing. none of us wants mass shootings, none of us what the criminal misuse of firearms. i hope the heart is in the right place but they are horribly misguided on how they are going to do and i think they backed

themselves into a political corner where they are now having to jump on and admit what they want to admit all along, which is to take some guns. >> mark: isn't this the extreme version of the worst sort? if you look at the tsa for example that makes a point of treating your nonagenarian granny of the exactly way as some guy who has come back from a madrasa in pakistan, when you create laws where 100% of people are assumed to be guilty, general laws of universal application, you're just wasting tons of police time with law-abiding people, aren't you? >> you're absolutely right and i think the next level further that you're bringing up now our red flag laws. those things scare me bad. i think these quotes we are hearing on the campaign trail, i don't think they are going to be able to get away with it bit red flag laws, though? i think they have too much support. they aren't jumping on the second amendment, they are jumping on the fourth and may be others.

>> mark: that's certainly true. thank you, ryan. instead of helping drug addicts get clean, philadelphia is planning to give them special places where they can go and inject. that is just ahead. also, one of the world's most elite universities is going to war against a modern plague, it's not drug resistant tb, it's clapping. that's next on tonight's "tucker" special.

[cheers and applause] >> mark: welcome back to tonight special. we apologize for the footage we just play there. my producers tell me it was actually a very offensive clip because it showed people clapping. so if you are traumatized the feel free to see what spirit this week, oxford university's studenstudent council voted to h clapping at all future commencement practices because the practice is offense to the hearing impaired or those with "sensory sensitivity." instead, audience members are supposed to use so-called jazz hands, so graduations will look like the world's largest 19th century minstrel show. if only jazz hands were acceptable, that would exclude the blind. the only solution to this is to

shut down oxford university entirely. gave the world adam smith, margaret thatcher, oscar wilde, countless other luminaries bit at this rate, it will be producing anymore. i would've never tried to give mrs. t jazz hands because i know what mrs. thatcher would do that, oscar wilde is another matter. congresswoman katie hill conducted a lurid affair with one of our own staffers. now it looks like she may have paid her thousands in consulting fees to keep her quiet. and when it comes to nocturnal consulting, we turn to our chief after hours freeway consulting investigative reporter, trace gallagher. trace, this one is all yours. >> market, the allegation against democratic congress woman katie hill are piling up. the house ethics committee is investigating whether hale recently had an intimate relationship with her legislative director graeme

kelly. katie hill denies the relationship with kelly but fully admits to being involved with her campaign staffer at 20 morgan desjardins. in fact, they were in a three-way relationship known as a throuple which came to light after "red state" published photos. it ended badly when katie hill moved from california to d.c. and let the others behind. but federal election commission records show that since april of this year, hills campaign paid morgan desjardins more than $13,000 in consultancy fees between 2017 and 2018, made around $15,000 as a senior campaign staffer. phil and desjardins have been seeing in intimate photos made by the daily mail. but the daily mail has been sent a cease and desist demanding the publication remove the photos. her believes her estranged

husband is trying to sabotage her career. the husband and desjardins accused hale of being abusive. meanwhile, how speaker pelosi who pushed for policy changes in the house after the #me toomovementhasbeensilentont hekatiehill katie hill controversy. asked if she asked her to step away from the post and so far no response. >> mark: thank you. you may think this is a sleazy sex scandal but there's a public corruption aspect of this if the lever is getting paid. whoever leak these photographs is in that sense a whistle-blower. i think that's the term they use these days but thanks a lot for that common traits. the wise leaders of philadelphia have a grand plan to assist the city's homeless to inject drugs. it's about to launch the

united states first ever save inject in sight after a judge ruled that such a site is perfectly fine under federal antidrug laws. at least one of the democrat candidates, he wants to take it nationwide. >> if you see someone who is o.d. in, bring them back to their house and the o.d. the following week. we need to decriminalize opiates for personal use, we need to let them know that it's not a personal failing, this is a systemic government failing and we need to open up self conception sites around the country because they save lives. >> mark: aaron elmore is an attorney and a resident of philadelphia and she joins us. erin, is philadelphia looking forward to this safe injection site? >> first of all let me say do you think we live in a world where plastic straws were illegal, clapping is illegal, but heroin is perfectly acceptable? i'm losing my mind over this. >> mark: no. >> though having said that...

>> mark: that's a very interesting point, because democrats as we saw with andrew yang are far more interested in actually facilitating this habit than they are about, say, sipping coca-cola through a straw. >> absolutely. i will tell you this is a very contentious issue in philadelphia. they want to open up a place in kensington which used to be a terrible neighborhood but now it's totally gentrified. hardworking philadelphians have made this a beautiful neighborhood with bustling restaurants and shops and beautiful homes and schools and playgrounds for children. what they want to do is they want to come in here and allow criminal drug addicts to inject illegal drugs. you bring illegal drugs, being drug dealers, this is horrible for this this done the community for hardworking philadelphians. our governor, i don't think he's for it. but our mayor is for it. in fact he came out and support for elizabeth warren to tell you who is with here.

antipolice, pro-criminal district attorney larry pratt there is for it. former governor, a democrat, also for it. however, marx willa is the city councilman in this district not for it and thank god we have people like u.s. attorney mcswain who is going to fight this tooth and nail. >> mark: ed rendell thinks this will actually diminish addiction but if you look at vancouver who's had this for 15 years now, first city in north america have this, they have the same number of opioid dates, same rate of opioid deaths as west virginia. i understand philadelphia has three deaths a day right now. vancouver, with its safe injection clinic, currently has four cold deaths a day. doesn't do anything to stop people dying from this stuff? >> no, mark, it doesn't. the best way to prevent overdoses from heroin is to have people stop doing heroin.

get these people treatment. also a study that showed that 10% of people that go into these safe injection sites, only 10% of these people get into treatment. the rest of them spiraled down that abuse paradox, if you're well. it doesn't really do the things they want it to do. all it does is hurt communities. by the way, in these communities, you are normalizing drug use for children. they think, there is the place that people go to use drugs. as you know, and now fentanyl is in heroin. it's 5,000 times more potent than heroin. medical professionals that are handling it could get hurt, and the people in the communities came in contact with it, they could die. who are we really helping year, honestly? we are putting heroin addicts above hardworking members of the filled out a free community. philadelphia community and it's reprehensible. >> mark: we want to get ahead of the fentanyl epidemic, tens of thousands of americans died manufactured in china. how much blame does china's

government involved in those deaths as are tucker special continues. that's next. prior to going to aspen dental i've had nineteen surgeries. i'm 100% permanently disabled from the military and after i went in to aspen dental it was just like night and day. they told me they were gonna take some x-rays, she said "and it's gonna be no charge to you". i'm not used to getting that type of service. my name is robert chackley and my rank for the military was retired sergeant major. at aspen dental we're all about yes. like yes to payments on your timeline not ours. yes to free exam and x-rays for patients without insurance. and yes whenever you're ready to get started so are we.

>> mark: the scientist have some good news for the planet this week. the hole in the ozone layer has shrunk to its smallest size on record. according to researchers, the whole shrink due to higher than usual temperatures in our stratosphere. but they say the higher temperatures have no clear connection to global warming. they say the whole should be completely cleaned up by 2080, which is interesting because according to the distinguished fit assist alexandria ocasio-cortez, the world is going to end in 12 years and we are all going to fry. because only around in jets to

warn us about that, but it turns out that planet is more complicated than the act of his class things. may be safe to get those spray on the to dealer and canisters down from the attic again. opioid crisis is the deadliest drug epidemic in u.s. history. it's killed more people than all of america's wars since world war ii combined. the primary culprit is the synthetic done fentanyl truck fentanyl and themost fents pacifically in china. china claims of trying to halt exports of fentanyl but how true is that? tucker spoke with him recently. kurt: you spent a lot of time looking at this one critical issue. god bless you for doing this. we could have a long conversation about why a lot of people aren't doing the same thing but you aren't. you did. some up if you would china's

role in the fentanyl trade! >> over 90% of the illicit fentanyl that is killing americans is made in china. chinese chemical and pharmaceutical industries argued so it's pretty out of control and china's government says it's too out-of-control for us to be able to stop it for development and fentanyl like drugs. >> tucker: as a result of that policy, more americans are dying every year than they died in the entire vietnam war. and yet we in this country don't really see it as an act of aggression by china. why do you think that is? >> well, china is not one thing. they are bureaucrats, and that all levels, some are legitimately trying to crack down, doing with the u.s. is

asking. but more provincially, there are others, one, the exports increase. ultimately with that's what the rebates are for. china wants to encourage its exports of its chemical industry to grow the economy. and so in some sense one hand it doesn't know what the other hand is doing. >> tucker: writes. how does this truck enter the united states? >> it enters the united states in two ways, one is directly through the mail. ups delivered these drugs right from china to people's doors. the other way is through mexico. the mexican cartels order these drugs from china and ship them up the u.s. border. >> tucker: in what way, is it fentanyl already made? >> both. america, china lacks these

skilled itimports the fentanyl precursor from china, make it the rest of the way, and send it up north through the border. >> tucker: is there anything the u.s. government can do to stop this drug from entering the country? >> it's extremely difficult. through the mail, president trump has demanded more searches of these packages, but there is such an incredible volume, millions every month, it's impossible to search all of them. and, you know, you talk about a border wall and things like that, but from mexico it mostly just comes up in people's cars smuggled in gas tanks, fake seats, all sorts of ways. it's extremely hard to stop it from getting into the country. >> tucker: those of us over 40 remember well the government's response the crack epidemic which was the flood media with

antidrug statements, propaganda really, but it had an effect. you don't see anything like that going on right now. this epidemic basically is unfolding in silence. why do you think that is? >> i think people are starting to realize because they have seen their own loved ones killed, that drug abuse is a disease. and you can tell kids not to take drugs just like you can tell them not to have sex and the intent is all well and good, but we've seen it's not effective. >> tucker: because it's difficult from a don't try? >> well, i think there are some good changes being made. there is a move towards more care, towards not arresting the really low-level offenders, treatment. but really the tip of the iceberg a lot of people started from taking oxycontin and these

others prescribed from the doctors and these are law-abiding people, when the prescriptions come out found themselves buying street heroin. >> mark: they are enslaved >> tucker: thank you for coming on in the book you wrote on fentanyl. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> mark: amazing, importing death from china by mexico. it is friday, so time for the dan bongino news explosion! the former secret service agent will explode out on our special of the top stories of an explosive "newsweek." that's tonight.

>> mark: it's friday and that means it's time for dan bongino to explode. this shows favorite former cop and also the book "exonerated: the failed takedown of president donald trump by the swamp" is here to round up his top stories of the week. go get them, dan. >> thank you, mark. always good to see you. let's start with story number three. i've been getting awfully tired of this fake, faux impeachment, not impeachment, don't know what you want to call this thing. a bunch of g.o.p. congressmen got a little bit tested at this thing too and tried to storm the gates! of a secret hearing madame alec adam schiff and jerry nadler were holding. i've never seen impeachment like

this in my life. the constitution is pretty clear. the house of representatives has the sole power to impeach. doesn't say jerry nadler, adam schiff, the speaker, nancy pelosi, the house of representatives -- plural, mark! i know we have a tough time with english and things, but plural. >> mark: you aren't supposed to impeach the guy -- they thought storming the adam schiff staff tip was the worst things and storming bastille. revolution redirect! >> we need cell phones outside of the skiff, we need cell phones outside! good call! story number two, are we looking at try, try again, try again and again? hillary 2020? who knows. mark, sometimes it's time to take a hint. give them a little wink, time to

move on. this thing may not be for you. it wasn't my bag of doughnuts. i can't believe this. a staffer phillipe ryan kind of hinted on our shows that there is not a 0% chance, small chance that hillary could jump in again. could you imagine another shot at the title for hillary clinton? >> mark: come on! ninth time is the charm, dan. you know it! >> she still hasn't figured out the rules, mark. she things the popular vote wins the presidency. she still thinks the atlanta braves won the '96 world series because they outscored them the first two games. you want to get the rules them before you think about running again. just to note. >> mark: what's your top story then, dan? >> top story of the week has got to be john brennan who clearly is downing pepto-bismol like

it's gatorade at the university of florida football game. this guy is terrified right now and mark, he's terrified for one big important reason. this guy is in a lot of trouble. he has said openly and publicly on networks, cable tv and otherwise that he didn't see the dossier until december. anybody can read it, mark. but that's not possible because he briefed harry reid in august, which liberals have a tough time with the calendar before december, and when he briefed talley reed, harry reid wrote a letter with the fbi about that briefing containing information, mark, that only appeared month late, the dossier, brennan said he didn't see into december. in some limited circles, mark, we call that a problem. and johnny b is in a world of trouble right now. get the pepto, johnny. you are going to need it. >> mark: you are absolutely right on that, because thank you for that explosion. that is it for tonight's
