the clapper caters the other night was a fantastic display of support. clapp for —— clapper caters.d everyone to ta ke infection, but we do need everyone to take part in this. the editor of the lancer has been weathering in his criticism of the preparations for this crisis. do you think is right in saying that warnings were ignored and that has put the lives of some of your colleagues at risk? ithink... of some of your colleagues at risk? i think... what i can speak to is what our members are telling us now and we are in the full swing of a pandemic and our members do not have the equipment they need in the moments they feel they need them right now. this is an infectious disease and our members do not feel safe. i think that speaks for itself. injapan, the number of cases appears to be rising again — with more than 50 new infections in a single day in tokyo. the governor of the city urged people to stay indoors and said the capital was now on the brink of an emergency. tokyo was due to host the olympic and paralympic games this year, but they have been postponed because of the outb

joining me now to discuss, james clapper former director of national intelligence. how the president is handling the coronavirus out break. thank you so much. appreciate you joining us. president credibility crisis has been building for a listeniong now. the public need to believe and trust him. can they? >> the track record is not great. as we discuss before he has a inconsistent relationship with the truth. this one time when it's absolutely critical that the administration be credible. it would be so much better to have the experts medical doctors. public health officials do the talking. and get the politicians out of the way. doctor fauci is terrific. he's authority but not patronizing. he can explain things a way everyone can understand and sound credible and convincing. that's what we need. the messaging is kind of all over the map. good idea to get the vice president pence to try to bring order and 'tdiscipline. >> i find them all a little defensive. lately. i haven't seen -- i don't know what's going on. maybe they feel they're all behind the 8 ball. i have

senator james clapper us and i said james kuyper and he's continued to. and he's continued to move. that was representative my mistake there. and another thing that's happened here we've had we've seen very high turnout here and in virginia as well where biden also came out on top what do you think is happening there are you seeing the kind of excitement that would point to that kind of might turn out absolutely you know once he started in south carolina that was given up momentum bant capital and capital and so we're going to begin and that's what we expect to be the nominee because he took a little while before he would say i am going to run. and he was expecting. from day one but something happened along the way as it always does but competition with other us will run and what others do i'm raising my. rallying crowds and they've got a fair way behind but south carolina gave him that big push. some people called him a dead man walking and now his campaign is talking about what they call joementum let me ask you about the african-american community in virginia and north carolina o

brandon and clapper emma kobe ♪ ♪ me thought they were right. anyone of us had done it, we would've been leveraged and we go after all of the minor characters, we have hound carter page and we threaten them with years of imprisonment and financial will unless they give a particular testimony that we find useful but we have other asymmetrical criminality we do not touch because part is their own fault, we give on do prestige and obedience to people that have also but titles after the name jd, phd, ma in the counseling formulations at the hoover institution and rather examining people, that was part of the revolution of the 30s, 40s and 50s of the managerial society, we feel there's a professional class because are credentialed and they look at the right place and that equates with wisdom and sobriety and i think that's another reason people heated donald trump. if you walked into a room and donald trump -- if he said mr. trump you cannot do that because the council on foreign relations think that's a bad idea he would probably say what good idea

i'm not surprised and that is the way capitalist clapper ain't nobody ordinary people are just what they call them because they call them him put you know the inputs into the business. like buying paper or buying paying the heating bill. on his offices for his news organization and so you know he tries to save money on heat we can actually who oil purchases are who. i make money on payroll he lays people off i think these were people that were working for and be sure he left whenever they were doing in order to work on his campaign so you know for some of them unless he hires them back at his business that would really be a dirty trick. and the board which oversees new york city's prisons is pushing to release more than 2000 low level prisoners from custody now it's up to $38.00 people mostly inmates tested positive for corona virus in the main rikers island facility and other jails the director of prisoners' rights group told us the tightly packed conditions could rapidly spread infections i was a person myself for 17 years at washington state and for several years i was held in a fish

but we have been told durham has yet to speak with former cia director john brennan or james clapper. it what you will. the question is, do you believe john durham will bring charges against a single official of the politically corrupt fbi and justice department? cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. hillary clinton trying to get out of answering questions about her use of a private email server again. and she wants to avoid anything to do with the 2012 attack in benghazi. attorneys for clinton and her former chief of staff cheryl mills asking an appellate court do overturn a judge's request for their depositions. tom fitton, the president of the judicial watch. your thoughts about -- are you really not going to be able to question hillary clinton after all of this? >> i hope not. if it were any other litigant they would be pushed out of court quickly. she filed a where it of manda murks s. -- ma --of mandamus. she says she has an indisputability right not to be questioned under oath. she is not above the law. and we hope the appellate court quickly dismisses it. lou: judge voice lambe

folks who are pieces of this investigation, when they opened it up to the intelligent community, when clappergetting worried they were going to get subpoenas and go before a grand jury, those are the kinds of things that made me think this is an investigation that's not simply not finding anything, they're going to make sure it sticks. trish: we know of one lawyer already that was there and fudged a bunch of paperwork so he could get that fisa warrant. do you expect him to be looking at an indictment along with others? >> i would hope so, yes. you can't -- i made this statement just the other today when we were in a speech i gave. it was at cpac when i said, look, i disagree with the attorney general on the mccabe issue. he should have been charged, he should have went before a court, and if he could make his case and get out, that's fine. but normal people out there do not believe they can lie to the police and get away with it. but he admitted he lied, he was fired because he was lying, and yet we're not charging him -- trish: the deal he got, right? going down at the same time, so it was a

so brennan and clapper and comey thought they were exempt and so far they are right they have not been exposed to criminal prosecution if anyone of us have done that we would have been leverage. of how carter page and papadopoulos. and then to go into financial ruin of a particular testimony and then to undo the prestige to those who have those titles after their name like phd, m.d., jd. counsel formulations. that was part of the revolution of the thirties and forties and fifties. and to feel there is a professional class that equates to wisdom and sobriety and that's another reason if you say mr. trump you cannot do that so tell me is that the six party agreement? it hasn't worked is it afghanistan? >> it's interesting charlottesville came up that requires a big state and that we want to reduce rolling government madisonian. president trump is fighting the war daily. do you see any light at the end of the scope of government and it is continually growing we hear that donald trump is not fill those offices and that's all good but at the same time the cost of the deficit has been rising

my boss, jim clapper, did it a couple of days a week. so, worry. for me a big worry. >> this one over here. could you please comment on what the u.s. intelligence community is doing for counter intelligence? meaning that some of the most historical countries that have issues with the united states, meaning russia and china, obviously have their own intelligence operations continuing out of this country. what is the u.s. intelligence community doing to counter the cross spying? good question. i'm not great at counter intelligence. i'll give you a kind of a partial answer. for me, the most interesting thing is how do you think, you typically think of counter intelligence as protecting our intelligence services and organs of government fight -- from penetration by other intelligence services. but now you can imagine that counter intelligence is really about, in some ways, the whole country. you think about 2016. you think about the continuing russian efforts to interfere in elections. it really does dramatically broadened in some sense the gambit of c

you and brandon and clapper and the rest of your claptrap bunch at the fbi. decency? dignity?you want to return? so you endorse joe biden, and now he doesn't even want your endorsement? because they remembered your dignified and decent way you savaged hillary clinton while supposedly saving her? >> shannon: richard, your response? >> look, i can't speak to that decency or dignity, but i will say this. what we saw tonight was this. joe biden -- this is an interesting factoid for you, shannon -- joe biden only spent $11,000 in massachusetts, he won that state, as well, beating the hometown hero elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. this is a campaign that had no camping staff or tv ads and ran on straight momentum. something we have ever seen in modern american history, a candidate that ran on momentum, and no money, and carried the amount of states that he carried. donald trump had 300 -- but listen, joe biden had $5 million in his campaign account when he went into super tuesday committee carried almost nine states. that is impressive. mind you, he didn't go to some of the stat
