you also showed by your words that you wanted hilary clinton to win. but yet the ig investigation found that you advocated for more aggressive investigative measures into the clinton investigation including the use of grand jury subpoenas and search warrants to obtain evidence. is that true? >> yes. >> you did that because you checked your political beliefs at the door and when you did your duty as an fbi agent, you applied the law to the facts. that's what we expect you to do. that's what we expect prosecutors to do. that's what we expect judges to do. i'm a former prosecutor. there are defendants i despised. there were defendants i was okay with. but it didn't matter. all that mattered was could we prove a charge beyond a reasonable doubt? if we could, we went forward. if we couldn't, we did not go forward. that's what we expect everybody to do. now, there's been some allegations by one of my colleagues today about political donations and how that might show bias. so let's talk about fbi director, a republican, nominated by a republican president, con

because he thought crooked hilary clinton would win. that's why. had nothing to do with the trump administration, but fake news doesn't want to report the truth, as usual. the fact is, there is more that the obama administration could have been done and they were aware that much of this meddling was going on; right? >> absolutely. the president does have a point there. the obama administration could have don't more, could have -- could have done more, could have said more, but the thing is he's president now. for better or worse, it is in president trump's hands to do something about this. that's what concerned experts the most he hasn't publicly condemned russia on election meddling as of yet even though secretary nielsen has and dni coats has just this weekend. >> some think the president may be willing to assent to russia's annexation of crimea in exchange for something else, perhaps help with syria or iranians. >> that could definitely happen, but the president has said in his press conference with prime minister may that he definitely will be

because he thought crooked hilary clinton would win. that's why. had nothing to do with the trump administration, but fake news doesn't want to report the truth, as usual. the fact is, there is more that the obama administration could have been done and they were aware that much of this meddling was going on; right? >> absolutely. the president does have a point there. the obama administration could have don't more, could have -- could have done more, could have said more, but the thing is he's president now. for better or worse, it is in president trump's hands to do something about this. that's what concerned experts the most he hasn't publicly condemned russia on election meddling as of yet even though secretary nielsen has and dni coats has just this weekend. >> some think the president may be willing to assent to russia's annexation of crimea in exchange for something else, perhaps help with syria or iranians. >> that could definitely happen, but the president has said in his press conference with prime minister may that he definitely will be

they thought hilary clinton was going to be president of the united states. so they went after her with a vigor. and they were causing -- their theory was let's bruise the american president, whoever that is, comes out of the american presidency, so that it gives us leverage -- it gives us an opportunity of message around the world. that's where they were going. we should all be concerned about that. the fact the president conflates the legitimacy of his presidency i think with anything related this topic is causing problems with unleashing the entirety of the u.s. government to help us push back on this problem. that's the part where i get concerned. the other piece, you know, the national security institutions are not -- i don't believe will let the president go too far in some of this. i wish he would be better prepared. i don't think he should do a sin -- do a helsinki summit, excuse me, another summit here. you don't give putin a reward by parading him with a state dinner in washington, d.c. that sends the wrong message. >> mike and chris, you have both

i think probably not particularly, but the obama administration made the mistake and hilary clinton made the mistake several times of saying that assad was going to go, he had to go and he didn't go. so it left assad in power and basically the obama administration in an embarrassing and painful position. the problem now is that finally, eventually obama built up necessary alliances on the ground in syria with the kurds and also with forces in the south of syria near the jordanian border. those forces have been completely abandoned. that's why the last real stronghold of the democratic forces just fell. you know, as we bee tray those allies on the ground in syria, we will have the question once again why would you want to be an ally of the united states of america, whether in nato, on the ground in syria or anywhere else, because americans cannot be trusted. >> reporter: and that, of course, is the underlying theme here in europe with the president having gone from quebec to singapore and then after really not standing firm on some major issues, the military exercises with south korea, go

hilary clinton and senator warren are the latest to add their voices to the chorus opposing brett kavanaughgh last night, she equated with putting him on the court reversing every social change in the last century and a half. >> i used to worry that they wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s. now i worry they want to turn it back to the 1850s. >> speaking this afternoon to the same group, senator warren vilified the choice for what it would mean for unions. >> trump didn't name someone who would stand up for working people the way he promised. trump didn't name someone who would help the unions or even someone who would just leave the unions alone. no. trump's nominee was the deciding vote in the janice case which is the latest attempt to break the backs of the unions. >> critics have said that venom spewing from the left is less about dislike for kavanaugh and more about hostility towards trump. eric: meanwhile what are republicans saying about what they have said? >> you know, very few republicans fired back any salvos at least today except earlier senator mike lee of utah, he blaste

we have hundreds of hours devoted to hilary clinton's e-mails. this committee has failed in its responsibilities to secure our elections, which is a responsibility we have to the american people. when we have an opportunity to raise the issue, instead we are going to talk about hilary clinton's e-mails. >> recognize the gentleman from florida for nooif -- for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. you said your actions weren't motivated by bias. the ig disagreed when he asked you about the insurance policy text, we will stop it text you provided an explanation similar you did today. he found your explanation to be unpersuasive, you are aware of that; correct? >> i'm not aware of that with regard to that text. >> he did. he testified when we had him in here in june in response to my questioning. he also said that your explanation for how you handled the anthony wiener laptop, you delayed, you didn't take action initially. he said your explanation for that and he did note that in the report was not persuasive. you're aware of that; correct? >> s

it is part of the state that obama carried, that hilary clinton did well in.cratic congressman until recently. he was trying to get the democrat nod back again. and he'd have a shot in the general election. but the democrats instead went hard left with a woman named kara eastman who is in favor of medicare for all, free college, guaranteed job with a guaranteed paycheck, and in a midwest district like that, that is sane and sensible, even a lot of democrats are going to find that too much to go for. paul: but you know, karl, look, ocasio cortez it seems to me has a point at least on one thing, and that is enthusiasm and energy and passion. and if you stand for something, you're going to motivate people to vote. in 2010, as you know, the response from republicans to president obama was driven in part by that kind of passion. voters know that trump is going to have the veto authority. but the democrats may be motivated enough to put a check on that and some of these issues may not matter as much. >> well, maybe, but look, she comes from a very liberal district t

peter strzok testifying on his texts and the fbi investigation into the 2016 elections and the hilary clinton e-mail investigation. that hearing will resume once house votes are done. and we will have live coverage of that here on c-span 2 when the committees gavel back in. until then, we're going to show you some senate floor debate from earlier today on the nomination of president -- the nomination of brett kavanaugh to be the next supreme court justice. >> madame president, as we all know the federal bureau of investigation is a component of the department of justice. it is frequently described as the premier law enforcement agency in the country. the fbi's investigative authority has only grown and grown tremendously since its creation almost 100 years ago. the bureau now covers everything from kidnapping to counterintelligence, public corruption to bank robbery and maybe a lot of things in between. its power is very substantial. and its jurisdiction is far-reaching. very important agency. because of that, the fbi is subject to a lot of scrutiny. lately, we've had a lot of folks around he

i'm making the same case i would have had hilary clinton been elected.a party this week at martha's vineyard said, if he was here tonight, i would stab him through the heart. this is a martha's vineyard woman saying she would stab me through the heart. another vineyarder, a professor nigraponte said he wished there was no "new york times" and he wished people would only hear what they wanted him to. he's leading the campaign to get other people to shun me, and not to engage with me. now they are losing. the vast majority of people even martha's vineyard, can't stand people that will try to stop speech and debate, so it's backfiring. the other point that's important, they tried to hurt me, but the end result, they are helping donald trump. they are strengthening donald trump's hand. people that shun me give the base an argument about what the radicals are doing. i don't think what you are describing is a liberal phenomenon. it's a hard left radical phenomenon. liberals still support free speech. liberals support due process but the party has been taken ov

that was a hilary clinton special. that's done. nafta i could start it tomorrow, but i'm not happy with it. i want to make it more fair. okay. >> you can't do nafta before the midterms. >> i want to wait till after the election. you are going to have an election. it is going to be very interesting. i have a feeling it is -- and the reason is because if they are not fine, i will tax their cars coming into america. that's the big one. the cars are the big one. we could talk steel, we could talk everything. the big thing is the cars. >> a major lobbying group for the auto industry says that your administration's threatened 25% tariff on all imported vehicles will amount to 45 billion dollars in taxes on consumers and wipe out any benefits of the tax cut plan for low and middle income americans. >> well, actually it is 20%, tell them to get their numbers right. look, maria, what's going to really happen there's going to be no tax. you know why? they are going to build their cars in america. they are going to make them here. we bring in

if a centrist message would have worked then hilary clinton would have won here in 2016. >> nationwideatic socialists of america has endorsed 42 candidates running for office in 20 states. all in hopes of growing their influence here in washington come november. jon? jon: garrett tenney, garrett, thanks. >>> well, senator bob menendez also weighing in this morning on the ongoing battle over the president's supreme court nominee. in an exclusive interview on fox news sunday, the new jersey democrat calling brett kavanaugh unsuitable for the job, particularly when it comes to the russia probe. >> i think if the american people understand judge kavanaugh's record, they will rise up and that will stop his nomination. look, here is a judge who has written that in fact the president is above the law. he believes the president cannot be investigated while in office. i think that when people in the country know, they will raise their concerns. jon: you can catch the complete interview with senator menendez right after us on "fox news sunday" 7:00 p.m. eastern right here on fox news. >>> danger

effort to hack into the computer networks of the democratic national committee and of course the hilary clintonesidential campaign. inserting themselves into the election. you can see the president, melania are coming off the plane at the moment, right there in glasgow, scotland, the birthplace of president trump's mother. so with these indictments, which rod rosenstein of the fbi had said the president was notified of before he left for europe, they come just days ahead of president trump's meeting with russian president vladimir putin in helsinki on monday. hermitage capital ceo bill browder is a hedge fund manager and one of the few people in the world to have taken on vladimir putin and his cronies and smacked them down. he is the author of red notice the story of avenging a murder of his russian accountant who had uncovered massive corruption and was killed by russians and then browder worked with congress to get an act passed preventing foreigners who violate human rights from entering the u.s. bill, president trump says he's going to ask vladimir putin about interfering in our election.

don't forget, he was the -- the ig said he was the lead investigator on the hilary clinton investigationd investigator on the russia collusion and then somehow he ended up on mueller investigation. there's still a lot of meat on that bone regarding the bias and whether he actually was enacting some of that bias in his investigations. blake: peter strzok's attorney has said there is a transcript before peter strzok testifies, release it out to the open so everyone can see it. what's wrong with that? >> well, i don't have a problem with that, but i think you are talking -- and his attorney knows this, if you are ever done a deposition or worked with courts, getting a transcript done and getting it done right takes time because i mean, he was there for 11 hours. so it's a lengthy transcript. he gets to go through it and say wait a second that wasn't quite right. typically before it gets released publicly. blake: there is another investigation speaking of documents, the doj document request that yourself and others on the hill have been calling for, saying you want more documents, they did p

president trump went out on on offensive, launched attacks to the justice department, the media, hilary clintond more. is this the winning strategy to maintain control of the senate and even his own job in 2020? >> it is immensely entertaining. it is possibly effective in certainly in certain areas and i think at points profoundly disturbing especially when he continues the attacks on the press as the enemy of the people. this is the type of thing his base likes. this is the type of thing that got him elected, that got him media attention where other candidates couldn't get media attention i think his thought process is it worked for me before it probably will work for him again. certainly i'm sure when he was especially in the local press in montana, i bet you that they covered nothing else than president trump's comments. and, you know, you had john tester, the senator there, he tried to kind of get on president trump's coattails, he put a big ad in the newspaper saying of the things that he and president trump agreed on, but, you know, president trump -- julie: that backfired. >> -- took the

even as hilary clinton lost. we must address it. the most dangerous thing to happen in america in the 2016 presidential election was bernie sanders normalization of socialism. he normalized socialism for a broad sect of electorate, mainly young voters a generation of young voters who have never lived through in an era where the evils of socialism played out in eastern europe night after night after night on the evening news. they didn't see the socialist boot on the neck of hardworking people. in once prosperous nations. they didn't see people clamoring to be free from the grip of the iron curtain. :: >> it is socialism at work. as americans we used to be able to point to socialism as an element of the left and treated as something that would never be accepted by the country, this country founded on liberty and freedom. we took it is something to mock and to say we have gone too far. but bernie sanders change that. it was a litmus test for democratic candidates. it's politically advantageous to the right. >> we know that mentality i

as well as the investigation into hilary clinton's emails. so far....ouse speaker paul ryan has not said if he will back the recall effort. and the timeline as to when a vote may be called on the issue... is unclear. (ken) scientists say they have found indications a lake of water is beneath the surface of mars.researchers from the italian space agency say they used radar to detect the lake under the planet's southern polar ice cap. readings indicated that the lake was about twelve and a half miles across... and nearly a mile below the planet's surface.given its location, the lake would be below water's freezing point, but the presence of salts in the water could help it to remain liquid. (ken) and the discovery couldn't have come at a better time... as congress wants to put american boots on the surface of the red planet. the senate held a committee hearing today on what it will take to land a human being on mars... and how many billions of our tax dollars are needed to win this 21st century space race. kron4's washington correspondent anna wiernicki h

, but boy he sure showed a lot of bad judgment in having conversations with people who hacked hilary clinton, the dnc and all the other democratic files, and he's certainly on the fbi and the department of justice's target list. arthel: josh, i have to leave it there. we have some breaking news right now. blake: that breaking news is a fox news alert. let's take you to a press conference at the hospital in branson, missouri. you see one of the survivors from the boating accident speaking now. let's listen in. >> a ton of family, praying for me, being behind me. as soon as they found out, they left in the middle of the night to come down. my pastor's even come down. i have had my friends come down here to support me. this isn't all the family. this is just some of the family that you see here. i have had tons of family members and friends sending requests and asking how i'm doing and supporting. so that's the only way i'm getting through this is through god and through a lot -- a lot f people here in the city, i have had pastors from the city come and they have prayed for me and said they wil

clinton foundation and get on that team? >> how did the guy who gave 36 granted to the democratic party get on the team? how did the guy who was crying at hilary's -- because, i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. he's so arrogant he doesn't care about appearances. do you realize if a republican did that come up with "the new york times" would have done? had i been need a special prosecutor for hillary clinton and i hired ken starr? >> sean: mr. mayor, good to see you. i really do like the ring but i'm glad you had to pay for it though. that would have been controversial. when we come back in, president trump that up with the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border. we have drastic actions to show the way on that. this will be a key issue in 99 days, straight ahead. >> president trump: we need border security which includes the wall and includes many other things. we have to end of the lottery, we have to end of the chain. it's like a disaster, you bring one person in and you end up with 32 people. we have to and these horrible catch and release principles, where you catch somebody, if you take their name and he released them

hilary's e-mail. >> those agencies ought to be concerned about that. if there's unsecured processes -- >> laura: there's be an e-mail server in a house or in the bathroom and -- >> what about hillary clinton for her e-mail being hacked -- >> laura: i'm saying if they're worried about russia, where were you not concerned about the secretary of state as smart and savvy as she was trying to sir kim -- circumvent the normal course of government -- >> i think they were. >> laura: she was worried? when she was caught she was. >> the rules -- >> laura: she violated them all. >> absolutely. >> laura: sol, go ahead. >> the indictment appears to say -- it doesn't mention her by name but on the very day the president said russia, if you're listening, find those missing e-mails, they apparently later that night made an attempt to go into her server and find them and according to the indictment it was unsuccessful. they have to be describing her. but if i could just speak very briefly to one of kimberly's points, i think it's wrong to say it has nothing to do with his original charter or what he was originally supposed to be looking at -- >> laura: i -- >> i never said that. i said it was behoove him
