gowdy. mr. gowdy: thank you, sheriff. i want to start by thanking you for your service as a law enforcement officer and in congress. i call you sheriff when i pass by you because i always believe in calling people by their highest title and as much as it is wonderful and i'm sure the people in your family are proud of your service in the united states congress, i'm proudest of your willingness to sacrifice for the people of washington as a sheriff. kevin harper was a union formed patrol officer, he was not a detective, he was not in management, he was just a regular police officer like the ones we see every day in our towns and cities and kevin dere-sponded to a demest -- domestic violence call. those who are unfamiliar with law enforcement sometimes call those routine calls. there is nothing routine -- routine about a domestic violence call. off of spartanburg road, kevin and his partner arrived to wind william seevep on the front porch of his home pointing a large caliber gun at his wife judy. judy was trying -- crouche

this is what he had to say in exchange with trey gowdy. i saw information and intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation or collusion was taking place. >> that doesn't help us a lot. what was the nature of the information? i think this committee has access to the information i am alluding to, it is classified and i'm happy to talk about it in the classified session. >> that would be directly between the candidate and russian state actors? >> i said i am not going to talk about it. >> but that was my question. >> i responded to your clary and --uery -- i will ry aboutond to your que contacts between russian officials and u.s. persons that raised questions about whether those persons were cooperating with the russians in a witting or unwitting fashion and that serves the basis for the fbi investigation to determine whether such collusion occurred. , unpacktie bo williams that a little bit. how significant was that moment? guest: he saw congressman gowdy really pushing brennan to p

gowdy, i think this committee now has access to the type of information i'm ahuding to here now. it's classified. and i'm happen' y to talk about in a classified session. >> reporter: brennan revealed for the first time today that he reached out to his russian counterpart last year and said that russia would pay a price if it didn't stop trying to meddle in the u.s. election. scott, the russian officials denied the charges but they said they'd take his concerns to vladimir putin. >> nancy cordes on capitol hill. thanks. >>> coming up next in manchester. the sobering truth about drinking and breast cancer. >>> and later, 007, sir roger moore. because your carpet there's resolve carpet care. with five times more benefits than vacuuming alone... it lifts more dirt, pet hair and removes odours. while softening every fibre because your carpet never stops working, resolve carpet care with five times benefits with motionsense technology... degree has redefined deodorant so that i can redefine... power... footwork... range... the more i move, the more it works. degree. it won't let you d

gowdy, i don't do evidence. and we were uncovering information and intelligence about interactions and contacts between u.s. persons and the russians, and as we came upon that, we would share it with the bureau. >> i appreciate that you don't do evidence, director brennan. unfortunately, that's what i do. that's the word we use. you use the word assessment, you use the word trade craft. i use the word evidence, and the good news for me, lots of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle use the word evidence, too. one of my colleagues said there's more than circumstantial evidence of collusion between the russians and the trump campaign. now, there are only two types of evidence, there's circumstantial and direct, so if it's more than circumstantial, by necessity, it has to be direct. those aren't my words, those are the words of one of my colleagues on the other side of this very committee. another democrat colleague on the other side of this committee also used the word evidence, that he has seen evidence of

i think it is pretty clear that congressman gowdy was trying to set a trap. he was trying to get director brennan to either say there was no evidence of collusion, no information pointing to collusion whatsoever, or to breach his solemn obligation not to introduce classified information in front of public testimony. and it was interesting to note that director brennan, time and again, reminded congressman gowdy that his own committee had this classified information. so congressman gowdy was actually asking for things that his staff had in an effort to lay this trap that i think director brennan avoided very effectively. >> naveed, how does this affect the investigation going forward? >> that's a good question. look, what we heard brennan say very clearly to ned's point is, to footstorm the idea there is a connection between the intelligence and the investigation. look, intelligence looks over the horizon. the job of intelligence officers is not to determine criminality or to investigate. in fact, especially when it comes to u.s. persons. so i think what was m

trey gowdy. always good to see you, sir. >> yes, ma'am. >> martha: here with moore, bill bennett, host of the bill bennett podcast, and the fox news contribute to help those look at the big picture and gives us some historical perspective on what we are witnessing. it feels like there is a storm brewing all around that white house right now and they just can't get out from under i it, bill, what is your take? >> there is a storm brewing. it's not raging over the entire country. this is what is wrong with the storm in washington, martha. a guy if trey gowdy's caliber could say cap i want to go through the confirmation process. it would be dreadful. that is saying something that he'd doesn't want to do it. the other thing is, the north carolina, not a single random person has come up to me and said, my gosh, let's get to the bottom of this, both they have said is, can we get down to business? can we get back to doing with the president said he was going to do? the storm is brewing in washington, a

it got heated with congress member trey gowdy.evidence of a connection between the trump campaign and russian state actors? >> as i said, mr. gowdy, i don't do evidence. >> i appreciate that. you and i both know what the word evidence means. it is a simple question. did evidence exist of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between the trump campaign and russian state actors at the time you learned of 2016 efforts? >> i encountered and aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and u.s. persons involved in the trump campaign. >> phil, that is frustrating. did collusion exist? that's the burning question everybody wants answered. brennan says i know of contacts and communication. >> trey gowdy should have his ass kicked. he knows the difference. alisyn, if you are an american citizen and cia collecting intercepts of russians of what you said, is it fair to go to court and say that is evidence of something you did wrong? that will take more than a year to investigate this b

gowdy. >> thank you, mr. wenstrup. congressman rooney and you were discussing generally the motive, and i think it is -- let's just assume it's a given that the russians did not like secretary clinton, did not like president obama, for that matter, and desired negative things for her. but they also thought she was going to win. was it your testimony that all of the ysion stoinformation sto not publicly disseminated? >> no, i said if they had collected additional information, as i think was implied, that the effort to try to further hurt her, if she became president, that information, any type of derogatory information about her could have been husbanded for post election period. >> all right, but do you know if negative information was husbanded, to use your word, and not disseminated? >> again, i think that would be inappropriate to talk about in an open session like this. >> is it inappropriate to both -- i get not asking you about the nature of it. is it inappropriate to answer yes or no whether or not that informat

gowdy is trying to pin him down and say is there evidence of collusion. well, we'll see. we don't know. but one of the things that brennan did, and i worked with him at the white house, is he was very careful about parsing his words to say this is a continuing investigation. we will see. and they will look into the obstruction of evidence that may have happened to protect against a crime which did not necessarily even happen. >> last time you were here, ned, you said this was a fairy tale. >> it is a fairy tale. there was no evidence, there is no evidence, there will never be evidence. >> you don't know that. hold on -- no, no. >> here's the thing that i'm saying. >> excuse me. you're not going to be able to sit here and say there will never be evidence because you don't know that. >> it didn't exist, there is no evidence. >> we don't know that. >> here's what i'm saying, though. between the cia -- between all the intelligence committees, fbi, house intelligence, senate intelligence, there has been no evidence. and the thing that was annoying to me yesterday, i think trey

joining us now republican congressman trey gowdy of south carolina.s a key member of both the intelligence and judiciary committee. senator, thanks so much for joining us. >> yes, circumstances thank you. >> what did you think of the testimony from the fbi director on capitol hill today? >> same thing i thought this time last year, last fall. he has a very difficult job, tough facts make for tough conclusions. i do understand the frustration of my friends on other side, but the reality is i think secretary clinton is primarily responsible for the position that director comey found himself in, but i do admit difficult facts make for unusual conclusions. >> you serve on the intelligence committee in the house. the top democrat on that committee, adam schiff, had this to say about comey's testimony in a tweet. real choice was not conceal or speak. comey spoke about clinton and concealed trump investigation. real choice was to abide by doj, department of justice policy or violate. he's suggesting there's a double standard. do you agree with him? >> it was

i was appalled when comey asked about with tray gowdy saying he's not interested.: he is interested in the potential collusion between the trump and the russians. >> precisely, it's the political narrative. maria: incredible. let's talk about north korea for a moment. successfully tested another new kind of long-range missile over the weekend yesterday, capable of carrying a nuclear war head, un embassador nikki haley condemned the launch yesterday, here is what she said. >> you first have to get into kim jong un's which is he's in a state of paranoia and incredibly concerned about anything around him. this was a message to south korea after the election and so what we are going to do is continue to tighten the screws. he feels it. we will continue whether it's sanctions, whether it's press statements, anything that we have to do. maria: colonel, what do you think, should the u.s. be instituting more sanctions against north korea right now? >> we have the break the paradigm. >> colonel, we have imposed every sanction on the planet against this country. what is left

politically, i thought it was a clever attempt by trey gowdy. to me, it looks like a sneak peek of what the defense could look like as weo forward. >> and what we may have heard from president trump just, what, 24 hours ago, when he said, i can speak for myself. which is a sign, perhaps, that he is no longer completely confident that everyone around him would get the same clean bill of health when it comes to working or colluding with the russians. >> this has been the right's strategy all along. because -- you're saying they stumbled upon it now? >> right! because there hasn't been strong evidence that donald trump personally was involved. there hasn't been any evidence. >> the evidence has always been on the periphery with associates. >> and even though michael flynn certainly served in the administration, it was a very brief period of time. and while there's rumors and articles about potential people in the white house being involved, right now, it's all outside the white house. and it's all outside of the trump administration. and that's whe

there is also congressman trey gowdy. he is a controversial figure because he oversaw the benghazi special investigation, hillary clinton's 11-our testimony sometime last year. if you are a big washer cable tv, that is michael rodgers come of the former chairman of the house intelligence committee, and he is also a contributor to cnn. ray kelly will be familiar to people in new york, because ray kelly is the former new york police commissioner who is described in this article as potentially being loyal. i'm not sure if they meet loyal to president trump or loyal in general. david from upper mall brawl, maryland on the republican line could good morning. youer: i want to inform about a book that i read recently. it is called the journey of man. wells.hor is spencer showst book, it clearly that dr. wells used the latest showschnology states and anywherefirst people were from west and east africa. alaska, canada, the state of washington, washington state, oregon, and california. 50,000 years ago. before -- -- because it is f

maria: would trey gowdy be too political? the president called ray kelly, former nypd commissioner. >> that would make a good sense, he's a very qualified person, great attorney back when he was practices law, great prosecutor and i think in that sense has a great reputation. i really think that ray would be terrific. the new york city police department is the largest city police force in the world, they do an astonishing job to protect the un, they protect all the different countries, they have people, they protect all the dig -- dinataries. maria: ray kelly would probably get confirmed on both sides of the aisle. >> i would think so. maria: jim comey is willing to testify but not in private but in public. sally yates and jim clapper over and over, i know the answer but i can't tell you. yeah, i know the answer to that but i'm not going to reveal it in a public setting, is that what jim comey wants so that he can't say i can't reveal anything? >> what he wants is to avoid one or two people leaking their version of what he said. if i were comey i would absolutely insist on testifyin

trey gowdy. a great prosecutor, a great investigator. >> eboni: i like trey gowdy.t he is a great prosecutorial spirit. i think people consider him quite partisan. to mr. buchanan, when we look at donald trump's success as a candidate and we look at how his candidacy came about, do you think he finished when he started many years ago? >> i think he matured by the time he came here. i think he came to his views on his own, economic nationalism. he did a tremendous job. he stood up to some of the worst beatings that nixon ever had. i've never seen someone take a beating like that in the campaign day in and day out. you have to credit the guy. >> eboni: i thought you did a great job standing up to establishment type people in your day. >> eric: ray kelly, chris christie. >> eboni: no. >> kat: no way. >> he would have to be confirmed by congress. >> eboni: too much truth? >> kat: chris christie. >> the prestige and the credibility of the fbi. >> kat: he can't get invited anywhere anymore. thank you to our fox news specialist, pat buchanan, author of "nixon's white house

watched trey gowdy questioning of jim comey and i was upset comey gave immunity to hillary clinton's aides because to asn't in the position give them immunity. that was actually not a legal should nd something he not have done and he should have been fired way back then. be blaming body to president trump right now for comey,'s saying actually i wouldn't go so far as to say say he i would definitely caused a lot of problems in the hillary clinton investigation. i also believe she is the one that allowed the russians to do because of her unsecured server f. she followed what she doing, maybe to be that hacking would not have ever occurred. i'm hoping that is what will investigation.s host: the business section of the "new york times" takes a further careeral of bill o'reilly, now he's out news. fox much of the -- smaller rival believe mr. for lly could do the same them, after years of trying. family company owns newer and still smaller, ut no less ambitious cable network one america news says reached out to speak sinclair o'reilly, and broadcasting group, the largest group, aims to be
