let's bring in fbi jonathan gilliam.ant to ask about the documents the fbi has that are covered by attorney-client privilege and executive privilege. what do you think about that? does the doj supersede these two privileges? what could this mean for the president down the road? >> will, it doesn't supersede the president's privilege if the president and former president has the right to have those documents and those documents he determined were declassified. he is the declassifier. they should not have been taken. when you go in "a warrant is for specific things and yes, they had a broad scope where they could search but they were searching for specific things. and they had doj attorneys and that is the thing we have to realize. it isn't like they sent agents in and looking for something. they knew exactly what they were looking for. anything beyond that scope really is against the law for them to take these things. and i will tell you something else, right now we are talking about these agents in doj attorneys, but rig

lettering and a former fbi agent and navy seal, jonathan gilliam.athan, someone has devoted his career to the fbi, how disgusted are you this morning? >> well, let me just tell you one thing before i go on with this is that what kevin just sat there at the end, and listening to the republican patent that i was hearing there, if it's business as usual for the republicans, that land that is only going to one direction. that and the democrats favor couple. that better doesn't mean anything. just like living in the fbi and serving an author doesn't mean anything for going on that oath or if if you're serving one agency that does the political bidding of the left. that's exactly what happened. i'm disgusted by a guy to several fbi and former fbi agents today, and some of them have talked to local authorities, and the local authorities literally set them, "i'm not sure beside yourself, i trust you, but i'm not sure if i can even trust to work with the fbi anymore." that is phenomenal for local authorities to distrust the fbi, because that just tells you w

trump is asking for in the motion, ashley, todd appearance but former fbi special agent jonathan t gilliameat to have you always. will we learn anything useful today in this affidavit that quite frankly will be sharp? >> i hope you have seat belts so you can buckle because this is the truth. first of all, i don't think you will see anything from the doj that the doj doesn't want you to see who paint a picture of the doj doing something that was justified in their eyes. i think in the period of time that has been since the raid occurred, you have seen talking heads that we know are part of the democrat party, which the doj is highly left us. so, those people have been going out and planting the seeds for what is going to occur. and this is a repeating cycle of behavior that the fbi and the doj has put forth every single time they deal with donald trump and in the issue, whether they made it up or create a false evidence or in this case took out a warrant and carried out a raid on mar-a-lago. every single time they follow the same precedents and behavior. >> ashley: jonathan, if the doj foun

. >> terry gilliam's visual sensibility is so distinctive, there was an audacity to that movie that youan use genre as a trojan horse to talk about other things. ♪ >> "blade runner" is based on philip k. dick's novel "do androids dream of electric sheep?" and the central question of the novel is, what's the difference between humans and nonhumans? is harrison ford a human? can you fall in love with an android? >> she doesn't know. >> she's beginning to suspect, i think. >> the screen play was excellent. a rare entity. it told not only fascinating and different story, but, written and described as well. so, you could smell the movie. >> there isn't any director that can encode content into the visual presence like ridley can. so when you see the street markets it tells you that in the future, technology runs cross class. population is tremendously mixed. there is overcrowding. there is poverty. he is projecting so much content into those images and you just soak it in. >> i was constantly beaten up. why is it raining? why do you want it at night? i said because that's the way i [bleep] w
