i don't understand what covington's interest at this point in this litigation would be.what the hell is the judge's interest? what is he trying to prove? i mean, it's imbecilic. the fact of the matter is he is violating the very law that came down with the ruling from the supreme court the previous week. that makes no sense at all. >> absolutely right. and the problem here is that he's overstepping his bounds because he doesn't have authority to make the government prosecute a case which it has come to the conclusion in the interest of justice it should not have ever prosecuted. and once that decision has been made by the executive branch, that's final. he doesn't have a say in compelling the government to do what he thinks are the interests of justice. that's stepping out of his judicial role, and it's a violation of separation of powers. and if it goes on too much longer, my prediction to you, lou, is that a sidney powell will be filing papers in the court of appeals to put an end to this. lou: well, i would think that there would be enough, i would hope against all ho

, and possible text messages among the covington lawyers themselves. and any communications about the flynn matter. >> hannity: all right. now, judge, you have been following this for -- we all watched sidney powell do her good work. this judge needs to vacate this whole case. and set general flynn free to sue everybody that did this to him. and i hope cindy, you lead the way. when you hear all of this, judge, you are about the rule of law. or constitutional republic, are we not question mike it doesn't look like it here. >> well, first of all hats off to sidney powell and all of the phenomenal work she has done. she is like a dog with a bone. she wasn't letting this one go. and the idea of 17,000 pages still missing is outrageous. but the bottom line here is that a war hero was railroaded by a bunch of dogs whose mission was not fidelity, bravery, and integrity which is the mission of all fbi agents. but rather their mission was to change the course of american presidential history. and do whatever they could and destroy whomever they had to. this jud

>> not that covington hid them the government hid them government hid from covington and general flynn for that matter, to protect their prosecution of him. their prosecution of general flynn was needed to keep the obstruction hoax going against the president because they already knew this russia hoax had fallen apart by january that was clearly, dispelled at least many people in the government knew it enough that they weren't going to be able to continue that very long. in fact comey admitted when he handed file to the mr. mueller they had no evidence of russia conclusion between trump campaign the documents we got found they completed exonerated flynn of any russian connection by january 4 it wasn't just there strzok wholds worked for john brennan cia remember it was comey and mccabe text messages say 7th floor was handling this was in on it comey and mccould be that were driving this as well. maria: i know that i have known this a couple years they are entered the donald trump into. >> you were all over it. maria: yeah. >> exactly. maria: what happens next. >> it was all a frame job

then flynn parted ways with the covington team representing him and bringing on sydney powell, a bombry aggressive. somebody who has been quite opened of being a part of sort of the maga camp. she took the opposite approach than flynn's legal team had taken and aggressively started to work to try to usually get the outcome that they've now gotten. powell has been on hannity a lot of times, the president regularly watches and has made the case clearly enough to per somewhat i'd the political officials and flynn was mistreated, one detail that i think is important to notice is just the extraordinary polarization within doj regarding the flynn case. the line prosecutor you referenced earlier, who pulled out abruptly just an hour before the doj filing came out is brandon ben brack. he was one of the original members of robert mueller's team. he has been work on this for years. the fact that he yanked his name is undoubtedly nothing other than a sign of him being troubled by the way it is being handled. another thing that's interested about this filing. at the end it's only signed by one p

are we had a justice department with eric holder who represented all these people their law firm covington and burling represents all these criminal thugs so nobody went to prison the f.b.i. has accidently released important information about saudi arabia's role in the 911 attacks information that the government has tried to keep it in now ok we know this the root of it we know the royal family if this all the track goes right to the royal family they knew what was taken place they actually engineered bank accounts they engineered places for people to live for the for the saudi arabian terrorist where they could live they had their all this has their fingerprints all over the f.b.i. tried to hide this from the families of the 3000 people who were murdered all these people want to do is become been cited for the murder of their mother or their father or their child they would be compensated and the f.b.i. has hidden the fact that you have the royal family directly involved in 911. take it from a rise out of overstatement by absolutely not i mean 1000 years the f.b.i. has known that there wa

so it's not true not only exactly what they say because it's really so very very sad to me shit covington said she thinks her mom's body is also inside so right here this is too much for me i'm sorry but i'm so cloudy right now because this hurts her words hurt. people who live in the neighborhood were shocked this is a residential neighborhood it's unbelievable unbelievable there were people. and that. you know. the funeral home said it's freezers failed so it had to bring in the rental trucks to store bodies and explanation that did not satisfied new york's mayor they have an obligation to the people they serve to treat them with dignity i have no idea in the world how any funeral home could let this happen for a city that is supposedly coming out of this crisis the nightmare that happened at this funeral home is a grim reminder of how far there is still to go and the incredible toll this is having on a city. out is here brooklyn new york. russia's prime minister says he's pushing himself into isolation after testing positive for me her mission as the highest ranking politician there to

another example that liberals are allowed to incite violence against the covington kids who were, in the end, proven rights on their video was taken out of context. yet these individuals were led or allowed by twitter to incite violence. it's disturbing to see. those are some of the president's concerns and with that, i will take questions. nice tie, jim. >> thank you, and yesterday the u.s. hit 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus that happened at around 6:00 o'clock yesterday evening and took about until nine in the morning for the president to recognize that on twitter. what took him so long? >> the president recognized that landmark before we hit the president that was after all the impetus behind him lowering the flags at half staff into that for several days. that was an acknowledgment of that number and he acknowledged it in a tweet this morning. >> but we hit it last evening and it took him 13 hours for him to recognize that an tweet about it. >> far before that advancement he lowered the staff at hagman half-mast with the president has at one death is to is to money for he ta

and then just another example, that liberals are allowed to incite violence against the covington kids who were in the end proven right and their video was taken out of context. these individuals were allowed by twitter to incite violence. very disturbing to see. those are some of the president's concerns and with that, i will take questions. that's a very nice tie. reporter: thank you very much. yesterday when you -- the u.s. hit 100,000 deaths from coronavirus, that happened around 6:00 yesterday evening, it took until about 9:00 in the morning for the president to recognize that on twitter. what took him so long? kayleigh: the president recognized that land mark before we hit it. the president -- that was after -- that was the impetus behind him lowering the flag to half-staff, he did that for several days, that was an acknowledgment of that number approaching. reporter: we hit 100,000 yesterday evening and it took 13 hours, for him to recognize that and tweet about it. kayleigh: as i note head lowered the flag to half-staff. the president has said, you mention 100,000 but the presi

. >> the covington catholic was largely hers it got all of us upset for what the media did to this in the league into socialism we got to a point with propaganda filling the airways. this is private entities and innocent 15 -year-old boy in catholic school waiting for the bus. never says a word but all these adults on cnn says he has a punishable face i met these people one week later when the truth came out and said really cracks do you not understand what you are saying? everything about that story is wrong i hope in the end the courts will say you can't lie about somebody because there really is a court case kids don't get into harvard because i do inappropriate things on social media. he didn't do that but is lumped in with those who are racist he could be excluded from schools or careers because people think he is a terrible person and never said a word and do anything and all those terrible adults getting in the space yelling epithets the media god it all wrong because they had the agenda so kelly was key of getting that in their she does a great job to draw that into the whole

they got the whole story about the covington kids wrong and it is still going on.hink the coverage of the coronavirus epidemic has reflected this. there is a desire to see this thing, the shutdown should continue endlessly, and anything that points in that direction, they love and anything that doesn't, they don't. >> martha: i have to let you go, but i want to leave everyone with this. this is a citation with the pulitzer prize that went to "the new york times" and "washington post" were deeply sourced relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation's understanding of russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. and its connections to the trump campaign. the president-elect transition team and the presidential administration. so i will leave that with everyone to think what they will with that in light of what we are learning with recent days. thank you. so as congress wears off over another $3 trillion relief package, some democrats want to send every american over the age of $162,000 a month until employmen

covington and burling did a horrible job representing flynn. they never even asked prosecutors to see the key documents. they billed flynn 6 million dollars just to plead guilty to a hoax. they didn't even put up a fight. we found out why. it's eric holder's law firm. we checked into holder's firm. they donated over $100,000 to biden this cycle. 35,000 for democrats to retake the house. it's a democrat firm, donating to liz warren, mayor pete, it goes on and on. finally he fired these crooked lawyers and this new lawyer fought like hell to get the goods to get him off. this whole thing stinks. this isn't america. we're not going to let it happen. joining me now, the host of "life, liberty and levin", mark levin. how corrupt is this? >> jesse, it is very corrupt. two points here, first of all, this judge is an eyewitness to the corruption. this judge has failed to handle this trial properly. for instance, the government is compelled to provide any exculpatory evidence and other information it has to the defense. it clearly did not. it took a u.s

number one he incurred a couple million dollars legal fees with covington attempts to get the foreign registration act filed for his company. mounds of congressional subpoenas and demands for production of documents. by august i would say his fees were close to two million dollars if not more. he had to put his house on the market to sell it. special counsel operation started up focused with a laser on him and they were threatening to, they all of sudden they put enormous pressure on him, threatening him to indict his son, who just had a four-month-old baby and indict him the next day if he didn't enter a plea of guilty. come to find out, that did that and very next day the news broke about the strzok paige text messages how that was. none of which was disclosed to general flynn. he didn't get a single piece of actual exculpatory evidence. most he got explanation of his lawyers to a couple things wasn't even related to him fully or properly. he was misled to believe that the agents said he was lying when he knew he wasn't. but he was going to accept responsibility for what the governm

that liberals are allowed to incite violence against the covington kids who were in the end proven righttheir video taken out of context and yet these individuals were allowed by twitter to incite violence, very disturbing. >> hit 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus, that happened around 6:00 yesterday evening. took until about nine in the morning for the president recognize that on twitter. what took them so long? >> the president recognize that landmark before we even hit it. after all, it was the impetus behind him lowering the flags to half-staff. he did that for several days. that was an acknowledgment of that number approaching and he acknowledged it in a tweet this morning. >> we hit 100,000 yesterday evening, so 13 hours for him to recognize that an tweet about it. >> as i noted, he lowered the flags to half-staff. the president has said he mentioned 100,000 but the president has said when death is too many. he takes it very seriously. the hardest part of his presidency, something no one wanted to see happen. >> shouldn't the president be fact-checked, especially this president w

conservative perspectives on issues there are couple examples of this is the case of incidents as this with covington catholic high school being berated by the american indian activists and the new york city man who posted be parity video of nancy pelosi online got pilloried. how do you see government policymakers and scholars addressing this weaponization of political differences in their future writings? >> can we combine that question? >> i'm very interested you talked about public policy. you talked about technology. where do you see the influence of advertisers in the shaping of, i have often said to my children the inventor of the mute button ought to get a nobel peace prize. because i mute out the commercials. to what extent do they influence or the competition for them influence what we see on cable tv? >> who wants to start? weaponization, advertising? >> i see these questions as being very connected. the advertising, the ad-based model, the model by which these platforms think about, facebook, think about google, the debate about who speech, these companies are driven by their ad-based mode

conservative or traditionalist views on politics and a couple of examples have been the states from the covington catholic high school went to the lincoln memorial and were berated by an american indian activist and a parody video of nancy pelosi online and got pilloried. so how do you scholars addressing the future writings of political differences? >> could we combine that question with professor berkin as well. >> very interesting that you talked about public policy. you talked about technology, where do you see the influence of advertisers in the shaping of -- i've often said to my children that the mute button, the inventor of the mute button ought to get a nobel peace prize because i mute out the commercials. but to what extent do they influence or the competition for them influence the kind of programming that you see not just on general television or not just -- but on cable tv as well. >> who wants to start? weaponization, advertising? >> i see these two questions as very connected because the advertising, the ad-based model, the business model, that is the model by which these platforms

his ex-attorneys, robert kellner and steven anthony from covington and burling, they have plead to seean get back in the case so the lawyers just filed court papers to reappear in this case. they were charged as people that didn't represent him well to be kind and now they want back in. does michael flynn have a say in this? the prosecution drops their case , his attorney, he drops the attorneys. now his ex-attorneys want in. can they do this? >> well, no, in any courtroom in america, that could not be done, but emmit sullivan has already indicated his bias when he asked whether or not flynn should be prosecuted for treason and said you know that he was an embarrassment or whatever to the country. this judge should be recused. he is an embarrassment to the bench and the robe that he wears and he's doing nothing to extend this case through the election and they are prosecuting michael flynn. this is fundamental criminal justice. there is a motion before you, judge, decide that motion. if you were incapable of deciding it and can't make a decision with all the law clerks that you have th
