tv   Outnumbered  FOX News  February 18, 2020 9:00am-10:00am PST

9:00 am
with so many confirmed cases on the coasts now to have those patients transferred to nebraska. we'll continue to watch. >> ed: dr. fauci gave us good facts earlier. "outnumbered" starting right now. >> we begin with a fox news alert. 2020 democrat michael bloomberg set to make his debut on the debate stage tomorrow night in las vegas. you know he is the former new york city mayor now officially qualifying at the very last minute as he surges to second place in a national poll for the first time. that new survey has given bloomberg his highest level of support in any debate-qualifying poll to date only trailing bernie sanders on top with 31%. bloomberg's 19% a 15-point rise since the last poll in november -- in december. out on the campaign trail sanders scorching the former new york city mayor's record. watch. >> he does not have a right to
9:01 am
buy the presidency. especially after being mayor of new york and having a racist stop and risk policy. imagine a multi-billionaire asking for cuts to social security, medicare, and medicaid. the american people are tired of billionaires buying elections. >> bernie versus the billionaire. this is "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. fox news correspondent jillian turner and fox business network daigian mcdougal. former house oversite chairman jason chaffetz. we say he is "outnumbered" but right on time. >> i love being with you. thank you. >> your only competition now in the polling is a democratic socialist. how are you feeling as michael bloomberg today? >> $400 million later you bought your way in.
9:02 am
didn't have to do anything and they changed the rules and you're feeling good. >> a couple of things. clearly a lot of democratic voters hate trump more than they hate the rich and the rich buying the democratic nomination because bloomberg has spent that $400 million plus very well. he has taken on president trump directly. he has been trolling him online and that's one of the reasons he has risen in the polls. just really quickly, mike bloomberg on that debate stage is going to have to avoid treating the other candidates as if they are his underlings and if they work for him. he built his own business and worth $63 billion. that's a attitude when you do something like that. >> i think it's good that bloomberg is going to be in in debate. it levels the play faoe.d it will force him to get into
9:03 am
arena and get his hands dirty and give up this illusion that he doesn't -- he is only up against president trump and doesn't have to first defeat his democratic colleagues. he has been kind of skirting that all along and not had to get his hands dirty. now is the time. >> it's incredibly big. it matters a lot. he apologized for the stop and frisk policy. other comments throwing minorities against a wall. he made wishy-washy comments about the central park five. central issues to the democratic nomination contest and to our core voting block african-americans. can he fix it? depends how badly democrats want to win. that's what it comes down to. electability question. it used to be a conclusion it was joe biden. that's changing. people think amy and pete and bernie are electable. jillian is right. bloomberg has to prove himself on that stage.
9:04 am
i welcome his addition. he has the money for it. we shouldn't talk about him as if he isn't someone with the bon fieds to do this. new york city was wonderful under bloomberg. >> he became a mayor for the third time. he has kind of rolled through this process like i don't know, i hate this word. honey badger. >> for the first time he will be challenged and have to start answering questions. he hasn't gone through the rigamarole to answer from voters. when you're on the debate stage you don't get to phone a friend or ask somebody else for advice. you see the core. he is on the record saying a lot of very derogatory things. >> i want to ask you about that. to the my knowledge on the couch are you the only one who had a debate, won, been a chairman on capitol hill. what is key for michael bloomberg in that process?
9:05 am
this is our first time getting to see him in this realm at this level. this is different than mayor. >> when you do town hall meetings and answer the questions for months on end, you get really good in understanding and interacting. he hasn't done any of that. he hasn't been challenged or tested or hasn't had a heckler. he hasn't gone through the tough, difficult things. >> bernie is heckling him. >> with that new poll number he will get a dose of reality. >> talk about the other people. you have more money in this. tom steyer. you have people -- and a couple -- there it is. so when you look at this, joe biden at 15%. less than half of bernie sanders. what are you saying about this race and who can pop after the debate? >> we'll talk about biden later.
9:06 am
he doesn't act like he wants to be president of the united states in a lot of his rallies. tom steyer is still in second place in south carolina because that's where he poured a lot of his resources. and his money certainly. but if you look at these bloomberg versus pete buttigieg, mayor versus mayor. bloomberg has run on his record. buttigieg in terms of race, you have a murder rate in indiana compared to other cities in that country like that. a very low percentage of black men or black individuals on the police force in his time there in indiana. but just one quick thing about mike bloomberg, mike bloomberg's attitude. so far has been in advertisement. he has to seem like a human being and needs to remember he is running to be the president and he is running to work for the american people not for all of us to be his mignons,
9:07 am
because that's the kind of person he is as a big boss that built this financial empire. >> i have not lived in new york. i live in jersey. i can see across the river. three terms as mayor. it's not like this is his first foray into politics. what is different that has to come from mike bloomberg versus being a mayor on the president stage in terms of what we see from him? >> he will have to take on the other candidates in a way he has not really had to and didn't have to do in his mayoral races. >> the incoming >> promote his own policies. >> it seems to me it would be a waste of time to attack the socialist. i don't get the feeling, correct me if i'm wrong, there are too many people in the democratic party particularly the platform, the policy part of that, that are too hot on bernie sanders and his politics. >> that would be the obvious choice. $300 million in, $300 on tv ads alone and only in since
9:08 am
november. the worry about him being in the debate with the other democrats. if they step afoul of him during the debate it is a risky strategy. but you have to weigh and think about the risks. >> i am waiting for elizabeth war -- warren to attack him on the way he talked about women. popcorn, i can't wait. >> everybody has their game plan. they know what they need to do. it's an easy target with a white billionaire showing up and suddenly riding in. he is not the other one, tom stier has been in there for the while and has his impeachment pac for years. he has wanted to be in the race. mike bloomberg needs to stick to his record. he doesn't like to personally be pushed. he gets very agitated easily. that's where he kind of -- i don't want to say yells but short, quick answers.
9:09 am
>> no one yells more than bernie sanders. >> that's his normal decibel level. when i hear bernie saying this guy just sweeps in here and wants to be the democratic nominee. bernie sanders isn't even a democrat himself. it's a very funny thing. >> let me pause on you there. we went back and forth last week and we had kind of a moment that caught fire. i'm curious. she said bernie sanders signed a piece of paper. because he signed this piece of paper if he wins the nomination and goes on to be president, her talking, he will stick with being a democrat and do things for the democratic platform. >> that would be nice. >> i just postured what makes you that i bernie sanders is going to change. is there anything about that man that you know will change? >> i think we're watching the implosion of the democratic party. >> you didn't either in 2016. >> democratic socialist is leading the group. he is not a registered democrat. he has the eye -- i next to
9:10 am
his name as independent. they are desperate. they love bloomberg's money. they're addicted to money. don't give us a lecture of millionaires and billionaires and we're the party of the american people. mike bloomberg don't relate to anybody. authenticity wins elections. i don't think he can run the gauntlet. the rest of the democratic field we're not talking about you and america is not talking about you. we're here now february 18th and haven't been able to figure out who will lead the party and we're watching the demise of joe biden. i think it is a mess and a brokered convention in july in milwaukee and it will be fascinating. >> can i get back on topic with nevada. you know that part of the country so well. they do early voting in the primary. >> what could go wrong there? >> the people in the line we were watching today, you get the video feeds that come in and see they are all excited and lines are long.
9:11 am
talk to me about that process, the early voting and why people are slightly in government there in nevada a little worried. >> it's a caucus format. it gets very convoluted. you elect people that then go into electing who -- it is a mess. i've been in nevada and watched the caucuses in person. it is a mess. a cluster and you don't really know and they have the problems with the electronics using the same company they used before. i don't know how it will turn out. the poll watching will be at an all-time high. again, i think we'll move quickly to south carolina where there is not a clear person that is going to dominate there. >> two presidents, concurrent and one former spending president's day duking it out over the booming economy. who gets to claim credit? plus new developments on the roger stone case including more former d.o.j. officials calling on the attorney general to
9:12 am
resign after four d.o.j. prosecutors quit the case in protest. >> so the four prosecutors were the ones who were overzealous and bill barr rightly corrected that. for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto is a heart failure medicine prescribed by most cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart, so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. and with a healthier heart, there's no telling where life may take you. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb.
9:13 am
the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust your heart to entresto. with the newday va streamline refi, ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. you can refinance at near record low rates with no income verification, no appraisal and nothing out of pocket. >> man: what's my my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. ...with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

9:16 am
>> gillian: big developments today in the roger stone case. d.c. judge rejecting the defenses requested ole stones of sentencing which is set for thursday. she is suggesting she may hold off on implementing the sentence until after she decides whether to grant a motion for new trial over concerns about jury misconduct. meanwhile, the independent federal judges association claiming an emergency meeting today to address the doj intervening in the case. now, the federal judge who heads
9:17 am
up this group reportedly saying they couldn't wait until they're previously scheduled spring meeting. and now, over to thousands of doj officials calling on attorney general barr to resign over his handling of the case. senate judiciary chair lindsey graham swarming the critics, listen. >> bill barr stepped in what i thought wasn't unjust sentencing. we know your agenda, you are not trying to uphold the rule of l law. >> gillian: all right, jason, what do you say to all of these critics of president trump and of the attorney general who say he stepped out-of-bounds here because he is doing the presidents bidding? >> jason: well, there is a hierarchy here, there is a sentence recommendation which is all it is. the judge ultimately gets to make this call, but it does appear that it is close to double what the normal recommendation would be, and attorney general has the right to do that. at the constitutional officer in
9:18 am
charge of the department of justice is the united states. again, the judge gets to make that call, were going to hear it, thursday, 10:00 a.m. eastern, it will be interesting to see what happens when she also considers the defense request to have a new trial. the head, the jury foreman of this case, is an attorney and does have some information that has come to light that puts the whole thing into question. >> gillian: harris, a good reminder, at the end of the day all of this as recommendations, nothing is set in stone, it is up to judge jackson, berman jackson to decide. to be when you talked about the fact that the judge will be looking at, that's what they are, it is not the opinion about some juror on the trial, it is previous to the case, anti-trump tweets, that i understand, might look like bias. that's what i've been reading, is that your take on it? >> jason: it does look like there is bias. >> harris: that would be evidentiary because it's in writing.
9:19 am
>> jason: yeah, the attorneys here are quite smart. the judge is hey, let's look at that separate, and when to consider that in a different vein. >> harris: go ahead with assenting thing law, she may delay the implementation. >> jason: at its core, though, i want a president, if he see something going wrong to call it out. i think and attorney general has the right on any case to be able to weigh in on these types of things. i understand the frustration the attorney general has, i don't need to tweets, i can do my job. >> harris: he didn't say that. >> jason: but he made his point. for these 2,000 people to go out and say you should be dismissed as ridiculous. >> harris: why do we care so much as it an american public about what next doj officials essay about an attorney general? educate me on that. >> jason: i really don't, i think these people are part of the swamp, they are part of the problem. i think the american people are
9:20 am
struggling to see where justice is because i've got to tell you, if you go out any light, you do something as a republican, you get prosecuted. i can muster whole bunch of people on the democratic side that don't even get prosecuted. >> jessica: on both sides, jessica, i want to bring in a democrat perspective, is that justice has been contaminated. the one branch of government that is supposed to operate outside and independently of politics has now been contaminated. >> jessica: how do you answer, is there a way to pull us back? >> jessica: i don't think so, not until president trump is out of office either next november or five years from now. this has been his modus operandi from day one to attack critical institutions that are supposed to be independent here. when you say these 2,000 people are part of the swamp, i am all for sitting around and bashing jim comey together, that's a nice bipartisan activity that we can engage in. but these 2,000 people who have dedicated their lives to serving justice in the constitution, and
9:21 am
done that in a fairway, a bipartisan way, with their eye on the prize which is upholding the law, to call them the swamp, is horrifying to me. >> harris: you're talking directly to jason chaffetz on that point, but my question jessica, how much more did they way than anybody else when you talk about calling for something to resign? i get the legal expertise. i'm not ignorant on those facts. i'm just saying they are former, that is the first part of their title. >> jessica: it's not as if they'll get fired. these are people who have retired under normal circumstances and gone on to other jobs and spent more time with their family, whatever it is. they know the law better than we do, all of us on this couch. they know more than we do having actually served in congress, but it does matter, i know it matters to ag barr, after those for apostate curators are on that case, two of whom came from the molar team resigned over his reevaluation of the stone sentencing, that is when he came out and sets on with abc news and said the president
9:22 am
is making it impossible for him to do his job. when we start doubting the people who we have for hundreds of years put our confidence in to uphold the law and to be fair, there is something wrong with the system and something wrong with the president of the united states and with ag barr. >> jason: no, no, no. >> can i weigh in here? people have doubted what has been going on within the justice department, the intelligence community, simply because of the wrong investigation of president trump's campaign and the abuse of power which we know about, the abuse of the fisa courts, just as one example, so roger stone, likely going to jail. the george papadopoulos also convicted of making false statements. that is important, but where is amy mccabe on this? these former prosecutors are very concerned about bill barr because he's writing a wrong. for the unelected class within the justice department, they've been driving the bus, they've been trying to rule with no
9:23 am
accountability. he is saying, you know what, you are employees around here. >> jason: jessica, there are thousands of pages from the inspector general pointing out all the malfeasance that is going into the department of justice. you combine that with eric holder who called himself the wingmen of the president, i tell you there is a lot better case going back against obama. >> jason: i'm curious if we are leaving the segment, would you like to take it back calling 2,000 former doj officials wrong. are you part of the swamp? you said in washington for a long time, jason. >> jason: suggesting they should actually dismiss, and attorney general has the right to make this recommendation. >> jessica: what if he's reckless? >> jason: i think he's reckless. >> jessica: you don't, but 2004 dear doj officials think he is. >> jason: he made
9:24 am
recommendations on the deputy director, the deputy assistant director, and a host of others, they've never once tried to prosecute those people. that is fundamentally wrong, that is not equal balance. >> gillian: all right, the laws of tb are taking over, we have to wrap the segment, we will have more on the other side. john bolton making his first public remarks assents president trump's impeachment acquittal, more detail coming up in his new tell-all book. plus, we will also take a look at joe biden, vowing clinton style come back after iowa and new hampshire, can he pull it off? stick with us. >> my support in the democratic party, and all the daddy still shows, we will see, i am the candidate who has the broadest support from all sectors of the economy.

9:29 am
new hampshire. he promises to be the party's presumptive nominee by the end of next month. biden also compared himself to former president clinton who became known as the comeback kid during the 1992 race. let's watch it. >> we are now getting into the thick of it. for example, bill clinton lost 12 primaries before he won one and became nominee for president. i'm not counting on waiting that long. we can decide. i think we were just getting there, we have had less than 2% of the vote taken so far, now we are here in nevada, it is going to be up to you to decide. >> harris: he's trying that, his campaign reportedly is telling supporters they are banking on at least a second-place finish at this weekend's nevada caucuses. you know, if he hadn't run to other times, jason, comeback might be the thing, but he has had to come back so often and it doesn't work out. >> jason: no, it hasn't, you just get nervous watching him, is he going to name the right state in which he is standing. they were deep, right, they are two, three deep for joe biden.
9:30 am
it's not as if there is a spontaneous combustion around him where this natural consistency is just saying "give us joe." i've never met a person who just as boy, i really hope dry weight and pull that off. you just don't see it, like he did with obama like you did with trump, like you did with clinton, it's just not there. >> harris: so, dagen where is that natural voter for joe biden? was that person? you have other moderates running in the race, it can't just be that lane. what does he bring that people would say, as jason did, that their particular candidate? >> dagen: he brings the obama era back potentially, that's what he's potentially been trying to do. >> harris: wouldn't he need obama? it wasn't the biden era. >> dagen: has no intention of getting involved in this race until the convention. he will support whoever is the nominee, but i think that has been clear from moment one.
9:31 am
it just looks like, he's running on to be at the soul of the nation, that's part of the rhetoric, also the most delectable. >> harris: what does that mean? >> dagen: exactly. what does that mean? it is not resonating with voters even in south carolina. politico did that larger power it a few days ago. it's not connecting, he is not connecting. he might connect on a personal level. this is my judgment, i watch this man, he doesn't appear as if he has that passion to run the nation, and even the ego it takes to have that kind of passion, i'm hearing that mike bloomberg wants to win, not just the nomination, he is in it to win this. >> harris: when you look at the numbers, the money, and who is bringing it in, bernie sanders generated 25 million in such small increments that he can go back over and over to the small people to raise money because they are giving in small amounts, a lot of them, almost obama style. but if you are joe biden, and you are looking at the situation, do you have enough
9:32 am
money to last? he didn't even spend a million dollars and new hampshire, it was like $875,000. tom steyer just is making it rain with cash there. >> gillian: not only does he not have the cash anymore, but he is collecting money from big donors, it is not like he's taking a bernie sanders or elizabeth warren stand saying i'm only going to go in with small donations. by the way, that is the ace in their pocket, the two of them, that they're going to use to bludgeon joe biden over the head with at this forthcoming debate. you are soliciting money from america's wealthiest people, from the .0001%. you are still not competing with us in an effective way. i think that is the message they are honing now, going into the debate. >> harris: jason, can you talk strategy with us for a moment in terms of what makes sense going forward for joe biden at this point? >> jason: he has to pull off something somewhere. supposedly, he's going to come in second or so. >> harris: in the nevada caucuses.
9:33 am
a >> jason: back to this point you just made it, which is right, the reason the dnc had a provision that you have to have a certain number of donors was to try to make sure nobody bought their way into it, then they changed the rules, suddenly bloomberg is in there and getting a lot of energy, and it is attractive, i think, to democrats here simply say i've met billions and i'm willing to spend them to defeat. >> harris: they parted from stump tom steyer, it's not the first time they've heard it. >> dagen: but he wore that horrible lad tie, he looked like christmas. >> jessica: bloomberg is a much more compelling figure than tom steyer. his adarand and, is running tip-top campaign from it means to gives. what happened to joe biden, all the other people in the race happen to joe biden, he's running a nostalgia campaign, i went to run of his rallies were he showed two videos, one of which was narrated by president obama, put together from clips of him talking about
9:34 am
him. people in the audience were crying. it is palpable how much democrats want president obama back. >> harris: again, that doesn't help joe biden. >> jessica: i'm well aware of what his name is, i'm saying he's the closest thing in technical terms that you can get to president obama, and that is a critical point. >> harris: where is he with the black vote when you look at gallup poll. he went from 52%-27% in some areas of the country, particularly looking at south carolina. bloomberg went from 4% in december 222%. >> jessica: he has picked up african-american endorsements all over this country, he has donated millions of dollars to critical races to get black politicians into office. bloomberg can last forever. if he doesn't win south carolina from a huge margin, super
9:35 am
tuesday is going to be complicated, he doesn't have the money for it. >> harris: is social media battle going on between president trump and former president obama. did you seat over the weekend? there are going over who should take credit for the u.s. economic growth. we will tell you who sides voters seem to be on next. verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. newday has extended our call center hours so that every veteran in america can take advantage of this unexpected drop in interest rates. one call can save you $2000 every year. to start saving on your next mortgage payment go to you spend less and get way more., so you can bring your vision to lif. for small prices, you can build big dreams. spend less. get way more.

9:40 am
boom taking place under the trump administration. he had the weakest recovery since the great depression." why did president trump take the bait? >> jason: president trump is going to stand up and fight anybody you want to take on his academic record. it crates a real dilemma though for the democrats. democrats have been railing on the so-called trump economy and what has gone on for the last 3.5, close to years by saying it is not working, and it is not working for everyone. at the same time, barack obama's trying to take credit for it. it creates a little bit of a dilemma for the democrats. the reality is, it is working for most people. can i get better? yes. are the things you have to do? yes. but donald trump is taking us in a direction to allow for all these record numbers. they did not happen under barack obama. he inherited something that was difficult, but i would argue to the end of the day that the recovery act was the reason it did it. the recovery was a disaster.
9:41 am
the billions of dollars that was wasted along the way was unbelievable. >> jessica: a bush idea. fine, i'm happy to give you credit, george w. bush, that's how desperate i've gotten. this is what happens to democrats. a couple of facts that do matter. president obama created 1.5 million more jobs in his last three years than president trump did in his first three years. 6 of 10 of the last presidents have had a stronger economy than president trump, but to your point, jason, as a democrat if you're running for president, perception is everything, americans perceive a very positive economy. they feel bad about what is in their wallets, they feel good about their 401(k)s their pensions, all of that. campaign to build upon successes wherever you think it started. if you think it started with george bush, obama, trump, all of it. just make sure you're telling
9:42 am
people. >> dagen: on this note, let me gets to this poll, recent fox news poll show that registered voters do agree with president trump. most responsible for current economy. trump and the republicans get 42%, obama and the democrats get 9%. just to be clear, something that has happened under president trump because of the regulation, because of the tax cuts, you have lower wage workers wages growing faster than the rich. you have people who don't even have a high school education who have less than a college degree, their wages are growing faster than people who make more money than them, the income inequality gap is shrinking. >> harris: and you have more participation, which is why you will see some fluctuation, dagen, you and i always talk about this and the on appointment numbers. people jump in, they get into being counted, they get in being counted, it may burst the number a little bit, but regardless of that, we still have the lowest unemployment numbers for categories of people, many of whom haven't had jobs and along

people, people of color. if you would just let me get this and really quickly, how would it feel as barack obama to look across the aisle and see the messaging of a president who has just impeached by the house, acquitted by the senate, and has touted usmca, and he can claim that. it was a bipartisan piece of legislation with the nations largest trading partner in mexico. doesn't get a lot of play on other networks, but those are the facts. how does it feel to look across the aisle, you probably do want to boast a little bit about what you think you've accomplished because the other 2020 democrats, you've got a socialist among them, they're not talking about those things, they're not coming one-on-one points with what the real issues are going to be in november. health care in the economy. it must be very precious don't like frustrating for the former president. u.s. why president trump took the bait, i ask why president obama put it out there. maybe he feels he has to, maybe he feels like he's the only one who will. you talked about how thirsty and desperate you are is a democrat.
9:44 am
well, maybe it's spreading. >> jason: i think that is happening. there are a lot of accomplishments the donald trump is able to do that barack obama wasn't able to do, but he's no longer a candidate. no doubt, he would be formidable if he was a candidate, but he's not. this is the problem. they've been fighting against barack obama and his successes, when he watches democratic debates, because they don't have anything positive to say about the economy, they want to be anything that is going on trump. >> dagen: the federal reserve propped up the obama era economy. that's why the rich got richer and wages weren't really growing for the working class. that has changed, because again, it's tax cuts and the regulations. john bolton not holding back the former national security advisor suggesting the white house may try to suppress his new book as he hints at more damaging details to come. to work as hard as they do.

>> jessica: former national security advisor john bolton saying he hopes his new book won't be suppressed by the white house as he hints at more juicy revelations about president trump. bolton telling an audience at duke university "for all the focus on ukraine and the impeachment and all that, to me,
9:49 am
there are portions of that manuscript the deal he ukraine. i view that like this prickles on the ice cream sundae in terms of what is in the book." there was bogus under the standard national security review, the white house on not attempted to stop bolton from speaking publicly and has not attempted him distanced out publicly discussing his views on the present. what do you think it john bolton's game is here? >> jason: selling books. just before plain and simple? >> jason: he's in the bookselling game. if you wanted to offer clarification, he could've done so publicly, he could've come on and talk to harris faulkner. see when i asked several times. >> jason: he could've done that. i hope that he would. remember, national security advisor almost by definition is advising the president on a moment by moment basis on highly classified issues. they have to go back and review that, you can't just go out and say well, let me tell you everything that's going on, that is a dangerous precedent if they were to do that.

>> gillian: it's not the first time since john bolton has left the white house cried censorship and up and suppression by the white house when he came back to twitter for the first time he said that the white house was sort of overtaking his twitter account, locked him out, he was taking control again, finally after many months. this seems to be an issue he's having with the white house. there was pushback, i'm just saying he's made the case befo before. >> jessica: but there is a more complicated story here. since john bolton has become a figure in this, post impeachment by the house heading into the senate, we've heard, for instance, that he had a meeting with ellie angle in a formal relation committee, a democrat congressman where he expressed concerns about what was going here. do you think everything is in the book? >> harris: there's no way to tell for going to get to see everything that he wrote in that book because we don't know what the white house will exert in terms of executive privilege or classification or whatever. that's been strained to get the word out, don't censor me. if he really didn't want to be

censored, one of the things he he i would ask him if he sat down with me, is wide and he volunteered to testify? you knew they wanted to come for you but they didn't want to get caught, democrats and months over years of trying to get to you, you then open up the invitation in the senate, you had it figured out, well they probably won't take it because it's headed by democrats. it's a foregone conclusion, they're not going to find the present guilty they will acquit him. it's all been about that pump up, the books presale, as you were talking about. the other thing is, how comfortable are you, ambassador bolton, knowing that people see a record now as a stunt? there's talk of well, did you mean it when he said he had useful information. i never said that democrats should lean on the fact that he can help them. they don't know what he will say. maybe you would exonerate the president on certain things that the president has been accused of, we have no idea. >> gillian: i will say that this kind of prepublication

review tousled that were seeing happens all the time, it is not unusual, having worked with people in that office who did that for a living, this happens behind the scenes, this has become a national story because it's john bolton and he's more high-profile. but the white house and national security council citing classified in vacation and a bullet, manuscript, article is totally kosher. that happens all the time. >> dagen: is just going to ask, don't a lot of people wait until the present who they served as out of office? the issue is is that he has got a strike while the iron is hot, now it is cooling because we are moving away from impeachment acquittal to this story has less sales. >> harris: how comfortable can he be with that? >> jason: presents enjoy executive privilege above and beyond when they leave. he doesn't suddenly get a pass come i've got to wait for the state. but you're right, the iron is hot, his name is out there, he wants to get this book sold.
