government absolutely and souness rigging markets thank you eric holder and that and now you did your job if we are a small fee was pay we keep $0.90 of every dollar we steal right warm up j.p. morgan but that's not enough they then want to sue the government for doing their job as private corporation that's absolute correct this is intimidation and this is the political climate we're in where a company caught red handed committing wrongdoing immediately turns the tables on the cops on the regulators and accuses them of writing i mean they want to malfeasance stories in new york of cops being spit at and having water pour naaman disrespected it comes from j.p. morgan it comes from kraft it comes from heinz it comes from warren buffett it comes to eric holder who treat law enforcement agencies in regulators. garbage that the highest levels of our government that trickles down to the street they are providing the example for people to follow of treating police like garbage and ok so the discraft company of course because they can't make money on crackers they have to resort to the finan

themselves that knowingly put in their customer accounts to defraud their own customers and then eric holder the attorney general at that time said you know what we're going to legalize financial fraud under the what's called the holder doctrine or. because fraud is america's number one business so speaking of a serial frost there's one couple maniacs like warren buffet. tell us what's going on with kraft and they're they're fine for rigging wheat futures i mentioned warren buffett because of course warren buffett on the big one heinz ketchup and they engineered a merger with kraft just a few years ago so he knows all about what was happening here speaking tell us about this fraud yes so there is a federal agency called the u.s. commodity futures trading commission which regulates commodity markets wheat oil natural gas and they caught kraft red handed manipulating the wheat futures market levied a fine but in the new good in the negotiations to do the fine it wasn't just you know the c.f.d. see coming out and saying you're guilty instead it was a plea sensually where kraft neither admitted

i mean there's been reports obviously of eric holder looking at the race.ry clinton toy with the race. it is certainly possible we are not done. it is hard to imagine me saying this out loud -- with more candidates getting into the race and complicating everything. >> but, you know, donny, the problem with eric holder getting in or somebody that is not worth $50 billion getting in at this late moment -- because holder would make sense for me because, again, if biden is not a strong candidate, where is the bill clinton candidate that can win in south carolina, that can win across the deep south with older, black voters who are the bed rock of these democratic primary contests and not just out there. so holder would make sense, or another candidate that could appeal, a bill clinton-like candidate that could appeal, but the problem for eric holder or any other mere mortal is three or four days after south carolina you have super tuesday and you have california, you have texas, you have got states across the deep south. there's no way they can keep up with that

bloomberg, biden, bernie or warren are not on your wish list, how about former attorney general eric holderbc analyst says holder might join the race. experts say the fact that holder is even considering a run is an indication that he sees an opening. >> tammy: trace, thank you very much. joining us with reaction is american conservative union chair matt schlapp, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor ari fleischer and former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee. gentlemen, thank you for joining me tonight. not that there is anything to talk about, right? >> right. >> tammy: let's start, matt, with you, there is an extraordinary development here. as we are looking at the statement that is made. i think of this as somebody who is actually, not that i agree with any of the democrats, but appreciate the fact that they stepped forward. they have raised money. they have followed all the rules, right? they have been debating each other in this environment and they have stepped forward and now you have got people effectively saying you are no good and we are going to do it b

eric holder is rumored to be looking at it. >> laura: anyone else? >> barack obama is awfully quiet in all of this. i think actually there is a lot of people for barack obama still searching is this the direction we want the elizabeth warren? >> laura: aoc was campaigning with bernie over the weekend, and again, she was talking about the billionaire concentration of wealth. let's watch. >> who here is ready for the revolution? we can beat him, but we have to vaccinate ourselves against something like this ever happening again. the way we inoculate ourselves from late stage hyper capitalistic concentration of wealth among the very, very few is a labor movement. >> laura: richard, what is going on here? we talked about this months ago. i said the field is weak. i think it is wide, but it didn't have the depth that the democrats need to be someone with passion and energy of trump. >> donald trump can read the poles. there is a reason he extorted ahead of ukraine to get dirt on biden. because he can read -- >> laura: here is the eye roll. focus on the qu

some names being floated include former massachusetts governor duval patrick and eric holder and former secretary of state john kerry, and even hillary clinton. okay. i just -- i have one question. how guys lost your minds? iowa is less than three months away. democrats have spent the last year introducing us to their candidates all 200 of them. and the field is finally consolidating behind a handful of candidates. qualified candidates. with voter bases. that anyone would think getting in now would help democrats instead of hurting them blows my mind. except oprah. oprah could still get in. here to discuss is mitch landrieu. mr. mayor, i hope you enjoyed that. >> hey. >> what is going on in your party. >> how are you doing? >> are you worried that michael bloomberg thinks the field is insufficiently capable of beating trump. >> first of all, two things. i'm definitely for oprah and i'm excited that alabama is cleaning the clock right now and getting those two important things out of mind. there is a lot going on right now. we're in an unprecedented time. thinks change from day-to-day. w

not only that, there is word of a possible late entrance from obama era attorney general eric holder.ter doocy is live from concord, new hampshire, were some 2020 candidates are doing a formal filing for the state's primary today so you are there today and unlike on harris' show, you can actually see me as you have no one in front of you. >> yes, except that gentleman who just walked in front of the shop. joe biden you can see is the most recent major candidate to go up to the second floor here at the statehouse, filed his paperwork and within minutes of him filing, a lot of the questions upstairs were about michael bloomberg getting into the race now that the bloomberg team is telling us that if bloomberg makes it official and a size that he wants to be a presidential candidate, it's because he doesn't think anybody running could possibly be president trump and a general election. so former vp was asked about that. >> they are welcome in the race. michael is a solid guy. let's see where it goes. i have no problem with him getting in the race. in terms of he is running because of me,

great discussion, eric holder rashad interesting stuff. thank you guys very much.attack a look at your money this morning. we have setback, the dow is down 113 points, nasdaq down 44 or half of one percent. coming up, this morning -- need a cup of coffee we'll have an exclusive look inside the worlding biggest starbucks and it is right here in the u.s. of a. i get lost in the coffee beans. plus a mega hit reunion headed to hbo max heating up stream war. details with brett larson coming up on fbn:am. i saved hundreds on my car insurance when i switched to geico. and this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling when you go to taco night at your favorite restaurant. and they're the best-tasting tacos in the entire world. and just when you think it couldn't get any better, they bring you out another taco... ...cuz they made an extra one. ♪ extra taco! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. fifteen minutes could save you beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors pro

but if eric holder is potentially in the mix and mike bloomberg looks like he might be in the mix, well, jeez, just when you thought it's all over, it's never over. >>> today also marked an embarrassing and expensive end for president trump to a lawsuit that was brought against him last year for what appears to have basically been a fake scam charity that he operated for decades. it was called the donald j. trump foundation. it's no more. it was ostensibly a charity. it was registered as such in new york. pulitzer prizewinning reporting from david pharynhold at "the washington post" detailed how trump used the money from that so-called charity to pay for things like debts his businesses owed or illegally bolstering his presidential campaign and stuff like buying himself portraits of himself. that reporting and others led ultimately to new york attorney general filing just a barnburner of a lawsuit against president trump claiming, quote, persistently illegal conduct at his charity. when that lawsuit was filed by the new york attorney general president trump declared publicly, quote, i w

former federal prosecutor, john flannery and matt miller, who worked at the justice department under eric holder. good evening, folks. >> evening. >> good evening. >> mr. flannery, what does this story mean to you? >> well, i guess trump's of the view that, hey, twice this guy's taken care of me. he killed the mueller report and then he's investigating the investigation. but what he should have studied was that great american philosop philosopher, clint eastwood who said a man ought to know his limitations. and inc. barr looked at this and thought, that stone wall is crumbling and falling down like the walls of jericho and i don't want to do anymore of this. so he's standing back. some people would like to believe that he's such an ethical presence that he wouldn't do this improper thing. but the people who come within the am bit of trump all do improper things at some time or another and barr is no angel evidenced by the clip you've shown and when he's been doing since. and we have 93 u.s. attorneys, all of whom are toadies to what he wants to have happen to protect the president while he's the

strategist who worked in the obama administration and is a former speechwriter for attorney general eric holder will start with you who benefited the most from the some testimony the president of the house democrats. well i think both ben. you know i think certainly the democrats were looking for some learn as a key figure to come forward and help give testimony that would fit their theory of the case and i think they got that in part during the testimony throughout the day.

what was it 6 major banks were convicted of fraud remember that guy over the obama administration eric holder there were too big to jail but you make sure that you don't go over the speed limit 6 miles an hour where you didn't have your signal light on where you come from you have a drink get out of the car stand on your head repeat the alphabet backwards that's why you see new revolutions going on around the world because the big 0 getting a free ride while everybody else gets tied up and brought down well is fargo caught stealing money from thousands and thousands of customer accounts warren buffett biggest shareholder and yet that was positioned also as a heroic act of capitalism will allow this larceny to go on unchecked so that's where it's going to go with j.b. dying no will be made fed chairman he'll be made the treasury secretary it could be president i stace is such a big a larcenous ticks scum he could be president of the united states that's the track he's on that's what will you have to also be a pathological liar to be president of any country. so maybe he could fit that very wel

former attorney general eric holder has spoken with strategists.already crowded field, and you've got a circus. ten democrats have qualified for the next debate on november 20th, another six are trying to qualify. that's chaos. and it's a money pit too. think of all those contributions to all those candidates, money that will be spent in a frenzy of primaries and caucuses way before the real contest begins. and with so many candidates, there's no policy consensus. democrats are not going into the 2020 campaign as a united party. it's dramatically split. not just two ways, but three or four. so will hillary run? here's a possibility: the other candidates tear themselves apart. by next spring the party is split every which way and intellectually and financially exhausted, and in jumps hillary to save the day. after all, she believes she won the last time around. lauren, what do you think? if she jumped in late, you know, into the race next year, do you think she could win? lauren: she hasn't offered any crazy ideas, and voters might like that. [laugh

outlier in terms of what the precedent has historically been the congress subpoenaed attorney general eric holder to come and testify and fast and furious he refused he was cited for contempt of congress. actually department for justice department could forget that dominated congresses and democrats i have never seen more people just ignore subpoenas i used to think we were all trained you can't ignore a subpoena i worked as a staff member for a u.s. senator and was nearly subpoenaed to appear before a house committee didn't happen but i was shaking in my boots thinking this could be the worst thing ever in my life my career my financial situation as well why is it such a big deal and even more to do i think it's not a big deal because the idea that the democrats once they took control of the house of representatives had his item on their agenda impeaching the president and they have been searching for. reason since they started the moeller emoluments now the ukraine phone call they tried to turn quid pro quo into bribery because of focus groups and and they've now backed off on that was there ma

with eric holder, it was the vice president. his son was involved in this.re was a problem in 2016 as it relates to the 2016 election. why does it matter about bringing up the mark zaid comments? why do you want to bring out this nellie ohr? because to show the pot in the plant was in place. they are looking for a good reason in 2016. he had his envoy on the ground. it happens with jim barrack and sidney blumenthal. it's not a problem it's not hysterical. it's a counter argument to why the president was interested. it's not 2020 an opponent. it's 2016 and what they did to destroy his first three years in office. judge jeanine: he has an obligation if not a requirement to check to see what the genesis was of the russian'ing interest force because they tried to create a coup. i love your book, i lot of alamo. i love the story. can you make a connection to contemporary politics with your history? >> i was just with 1,000 texans the last 8 hours here in two separate stops. ken starr held an event for me in waco. these people have great pride. i want to tell the

former obama attorney general eric holder is considering throwing his hat in the ring.e is facing enormous pressure to run. >> i as i say never, never, never say never. i will certainly tell you, i'm underre enormous pressure from many, many people to think about it, as of this moment, sitting here, talking to you it is absolutely not in my plans. david: we're less than 3 months out of iowa caucus. what does this say. continuing search for's contender? >> it says a lot. looking at governor patrick. and his comments in 2016. governor mitt romney. -- not 16, further back in terms 12. governor romney was running, he said, look at what private equity has done, it has torn the fabric of america. but you know what, governor patrick did? right after his second term? he went to work for bain capital, why because he wanted to make money. but back to politics, you look at -- >> awesome. >> you look at huge field of democratic candidates, you know there is no enthusiasm. there is a big threat to the centrist philosophy in terms of ideological view points with respect to democratic

but there are other high profile cases, the one you referenced involving former attorney general eric holder, there was an earlier high profile case during the george w. bush administration involving white house chief of staff, josh bolton and white house counsel harriet miers. one lesson that we sort of take away from all of these cases is that, again, to the extent that congress has come to rely on the federal courts as one of its tools to try to compel cooperation from the executive branch with requests for testimony and information is that the timeline on which the federal courts proceed really is just not often compatible with the timeline on which congress is trying to do things. so, we get -- when congress tries to use its powers, using the other branches, that can really limit in the end its ability to do things in a timely fashion. host: democrats line in colorado. caller: good morning. good morning, america. host: you're on the air. go ahead. caller: my friends call me branson. i'm a disabled american. served in the vietnam war. born in mexico. more patriot than draft dodger donald

now eric holder is said to be on the brink of getting into the mix.so considering a run. joining me now, editor-in-chief of the daily caller. chris, i thought everybody was already in the race. and you have people finally leaving. and at the same moment there is a whole bunch of new people joining in. have you seen this before? >> americans got a brief glimmer of hope they wouldn't have to sit through six or seven hours of debates next time. all of these names were flirted initially, people who were considering it. it looks like they decided joe biden was going to be a formidable foe. i think this shows joe biden's weakness coming out showing in new hampshire and iowa. not yet national polls. i have never seen anything so late in the game like this. melissa: i think it's telling. people's actions more than their words tell you what they are thinking. you have democrats on tv talking about the president is under water. if you look at any poll, joe biden beats him handily. they talk about how unpopular he is. then they tuck about how the impeachment num

in eric holder is thinking about it. devol patrick is thinking about it.i gabbard will have none of it. steve: tulsi gabbard took incoming from hillary clinton about three weeks ago when hillary clinton in a podcast -- we played it, we are going to play it again -- when she suggested that tulsi gabbard was being groomed by the russians as asse. listen to this and then we will tell you how hillary is spinning it and now currently in the democratic primary. and they are grooming her to be the third party candidate. she's a favorite of the russians. they have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. and that's assuming jill stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a russian asset: yeah, she is a russian asset. i mean, totally. brian: david plouffe is astounded. he wouldn't check her. she is not a russian asset. we don't know where jill stein can be found. steve: after we heard that everybody said look, she is suggesting that -- hillary is suggesting that she is a russian asset and that she is being groomed by th

i do believe that was a fair comment for eric holder to say.ost: you might be hearing construction and news -- noise, nbc is moving into the building. we apologize for that, but that is what is going on here on 400 north capital street in d.c. want to share the npr fact check looking at comparisons between the impeachment inquiry of president nixon and president clinton and where we are today available on the website. almost 46ird time in years, the house of representatives voted to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into actions of the sitting president and despite criticisms from president trump, stephanie grisham called the resolution unfair, unconstitutional, and courseican, -- chart a similar to increase of president empson -- nixon. adam schiff of california to continue with the next phase of public hearings. most hearings have been closed-door depositions regarding democrats and republicans on three panels, intelligence, oversight, and foreign affairs. john from new jersey, good morning. are you with us? we will go to michael in florida

so i laid off kentucky coal miner has more power and privilege than barack obama or eric holder becausel white people it is the very definition of racism, tucker. this is a cold war on the grounds of race. and we are at an emergency level now. because this is poison being poured into the body of politics and will and every single standard. parents have to pull their kids out of schools. we cannot give them the cannon fodder for this type of racial division any longer. homeschool, i would hope that these donors that are pouring multimillion dollars into over endowed colleges, i was just at yale, which is the height of privilege, would instead start creating schools that respect knowledge. that respect the tradition. that are factually based. any educator who purports to claim that the west and america are the source of america's oppression showed on that ground alone be fired, because that is proof of complete ignorance print historical ignorance. it was the west to that broke of tribalism, of colonialism, of slavery, and gave the concept of individual rights to the world, and today the

why is it interesting that eric holder and deval patrick are considering running? it's at the heart of the strength. african-american voters. and african-americans in the democratic party getting traction. >> he's not getting attraction. >> the amazing thing i would say about the polls is two things. joe biden, today in new hampshire is ahead in -- >> laura: hillary was up in double digits in 2016, richard. >> bernie sanders who had 60% against hillary four years ago is at 14%. biden is up -- and the socialists are down. >> laura: do you realize? everybody was saying exactly what you are saying with all the hand motions and all the passion in 2016 except hillary was winning by more. beating trump by more. you're saying the same stuff and you never learn. >> of the last 10 contested democratic nominations going back to 197272, the leader in december won three times which is to say -- back to 1972 the leader in december won three times. anything can happen but -- >> laura: i'm not saying anyone is going to win. i don't know what's going to happen. i think trump is th

and he took on then attorney general eric holder. he did some really hard investigations.emocrats are not seeing the same thing done when it comes to what they see as the politicization of the justice department under william barr. >> gregg: despite what democrats want, inspector general michael horowitz has been focused on very real misconduct. the trump campaign associate was spied on by our own federal government with a pfize fisa wat with the help of christopher steele. on verified largely phony dossier. of course, christopher steele wasn't feeding his so called intel to the fbi. he was also prodigiously leaking it to the press and according to a new report, christopher steele allegedly handed his anti-trump propaganda to the media as political revenge. he was angry that hillary clinton's email investigation had been reopened and made public. a few days ago, president trump said the findings of the upcoming report would be historic. those are his words. in just a few short days we will know exactly why. joining us now is the former trump campaign associate targeted by

john kerry, bloomberg, eric holder. it just doesn't exist.ry week you get a story, according to three sources close to dianne feinstein, the 86-year-old is thinking about entering the race, which would really shake up the field. no it wouldn't. it's not going to shake up the field. gavin newsom is going to get the nomination for two years from now and he will be the president in 2024. >> katie: up next, democrats have been attacking the electoral college and now they have a new target, iowa and new hampshire, for picking presidential nominees first. speak of the democratic party has changed a lot. what i really appreciate about islands and the folks in new hampshire is that they take this process very seriously. they vet the candidates, they show up at town halls, they give people a good hearing. at the same time, demographically, it's not reflective of the united states as a whole. certainly not reflective of the democratic party. >> katie: they give him a fair shot except they might be racist. >> greg: of course, that is there go to in the

> he was leaving up the possibility that exactly this would happen, and now they're saying that eric holder is thinking about getting in the race nap is a step beyond what democrats have said. democrats are filled with angst, this is saying we see an opening and these are a couple guy that's would not get into the race that have the experience, that have the context, i don't think they would get in unless they thought it was a real opening. >> i think someone like michael bloomberg wants to run for president and he has the resources to do so. when you talk about occupy wall street and how that has manifested, you look at where elizabeth warren and bernie sanders were in that, and you will play that out right here, you're already doing it a little bit, but if michael bloomberg steps into the fray, i think that opens up a whole other can of worms. with 20 plus people that ran for this nomination, the people that don't want more candidates are the folks that i talk to in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada, they're looking at the field they already had to contend with. you look at

joining us now is matt miller, former spokesperson for the attorney general eric holder and an msnbcthose trump stories where it is both shocking and not surprising of course, of course. he asked william barr to hold a press conference when the transcript of the phone call with the president of ukraine came out and have him simply absolve donald trump of any wrongdoing. >> that's exactly wright, lawrence, it is a completely inappropriate thing for a president to ask an attorney general to do. but you could see why trump would do it and actually follow through and grant that request given that this is basically what barr did around the release of the mueller report, where he held a press conference despite the underlying evidence of the report finding no such things. he talked to the president about that report, obliterating the line that's supposed to exist between the department and white house, and you can understand why the president would think, well, look, this is just the kind of favor bill barr regularly does for me, so i'm going to ask and i expect that he'll do it. and i thi

he pushed conspiracy theories that the cia director john brennan converted to islam and eric holder hadmber of the black panthers. now, john hudson at "the washington post" reported that wuco once suggested dropping nuclear bombs on afghanistan after 9/11 and now works in arms control at the state department. so, what does that tell us about the state department today under president trump and secretary pompeo? >> well, it's a great question, alex. this official had previously worked in the department of homeland security, i believe. and some of his comments were revealed that including by cnn. i think the bigger question about the state department that this raises, alex, is what does it say about a state department that today can recall an official like or denounce the testimony of some of its most experienced leaders and then turn around and have the same hiring system hire somebody with these kinds of views. i'm not worried very much about his influence within the arms control world. state departments arms control office is not very busy right now because we've been withdrawing from

this comes when we heard that bloomberg will get in, eric holder and of course hillary clinton stillg out there. you tweeted this and i think that sums it up and i'll get your comment. these late 2020 democratic announcements fundamentally speak more about fears of warren then biden in a primary. biden lost a mother should be another one in his place, the next one is what's alarming democratic elites. how alarmed are they? >> very alarmed in the new york to washington court order. a lot of this late movement of patrick and michael bloomberg is in response to elizabeth warren and the fact there have been polls and data showing she could really lose to donald trump. she performs very poorly in the big battleground states in the midwest, the sun belt, plenty of data in "the new york times" showing a lot of her obstacles and this is not a coincidence that both bloomberg and patrick are considering jumping in just a week after these polls come out. . >> dana: as they were clamoring for them to run? there are other candidates. we just had this monmouth pole looking at iowa, mayor pete butt
