MEANWHILE, THE HOUSE AND SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES ARE ALSO
INVESTIGATING.
AS YOU KNOW, THE HOUSE COMMITTEE IS CHAIRED BY CALIFORNIA
REPUBLICAN AND FAILED CLONE OF STEVE CARELL, DEVIN NUNES.
( LAUGHTER ) A MONTH AGO-- JUST A COUPLE OF
D.N.A. OFF.
A MONTH AGO, NUNES SHOOK UP WASHINGTON WHEN HE RELEASED A
MEMO HE PROMISED WOULD BLOW THE TOP OFF THE CONSPIRACY WITHIN
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AIMED AT DISCREDITING DONALD TRUMP'S
PRESIDENCY.
IN RESPONSE, DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN AND GUY WHO THOUGHT
THE ACID WOULD WEAR OFF BEFORE THE KIDS GOT HOME, ADAM SCHIFF
( LAUGHTER ) RELEASED HIS COMPETING MEMO.
SO TO ANYONE OUT THERE WHO THOUGHT POLITICS WASN'T
EXCITING... YOU'RE RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) WELL, I BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR
SOME ANSWERS, SO RECENTLY I WENT TO CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE THE
INVESTIGATIONS.
JIM?
I NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE HOUSE AND SENATE
RUSSIA PROBES, SO I DID SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
DO.
I WENT BACK TO CAPITOL HILL.
( MUSIC WINDS DOWN ) MY FIRST STOP WAS TO SIT DOWN
WITH CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
TO HEAR ALL THE INTEL HE COULDN'T TELL.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, CONGRESSMAN, TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS TO BE THE
RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE.
>> IT MEANS THAT I'M THE TOP DEMOCRAT ON THE COMMITTEE, AND
IF WE WERE IN THE MAJORITY, I WOULD BE THE CHAIRMAN.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
SO OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO POWER, YOU'RE NUMBER ONE?
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: DO YOU SEE MORE THINGS THAN THE OTHER MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT?
>> I CAN'T GO INTO WHAT IS NOT PUBLIC YET.
>> Stephen: IS THERE JUICY STIFF.
I MEAN, LIKE, MMMM, MMM.
YEAH!
THINGS LIKE BLUH-BLUH-BLUH.
THAT'S NOT VIOLATING ANY OATHS OR ANY SECRET WHATEVER YOU DONE.
AM I GOING TO GO HARUMPH.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT ON THE GRUNT SCALE.
>> THIS IS HMMMOR BLUH-BLUH-BLUH.
>> I REALLY DON'T THINK I SHOULD CHARACTERIZE WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO
FAR.
>> Stephen: OKAY, DO YOU HAVE TESTIMONY YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME
ABOUT BUT YOU CAN'T?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SAY WHO IT'S BY?
>> NO, I CANNOT.
>> Stephen: IS IT A MAN?
>> I CAN'T SAY?
OKAY, ALL RIGHT, SO IT IS BANNON.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF
PHOTOGRAPHS HERE AND JUST GET YOUR REACTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO-- YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY A WORD.
YOUR EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL.
ARE THESE PEOPLE GUILTY?
( LAUGHTER ) HILARIOUSLY GUILTY?
IT'S SO FUNNY HOW MUCH TIME THEY'LL SPEND IN JAIL.
OKAY.
GOOD TO KNOW.
YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME ANYTHING.
I'M JUST INFERRING FROM YOUR BEHAVIOR.
>> I REALLY CAN'T COMMENT ON THESE.
>> Stephen: OH, THAT'S BAD
THAT ONE'S REALLY BAD.
THAT WAS NOT EVEN FUNNY.
WHAT'S COREY LEWANDOWSKI REALLY LIKE?
>> WELL, COREY LEWANDOWSKI-- >> Stephen: I'M SORRY.
IT TURNS OUT I DON'T CARE.
I APOLOGIZE.
OMAROSA MAG NAWLT-NEWMAN, OF "CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER" ON CBS.
SHE SAID ON "BIG BROTHER," "DON'T THINK THAT THINGS ARE
GONNA BE OKAY.
WE'RE NOT GONNA BE OKAY."
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SUBPOENAING OMAROSA AND SAYING,
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WE'RE NOT GONNA BE OKAY'?"
>> I HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THAT.
>> Stephen: NOT CONSIDERED IT?
>> I HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THAT.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN'T SUBPOENA SOMEONE WHILE THEY'RE IN THE
"BIG BROTHER" HOUSE.
THAT'S-- VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION--
>> WELL, WE-- WE COULD DO THAT-- >> Stephen: I DON'T THINK YOU
COULD-- >> --IF WE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD
RELEVANT EVIDENCE ON THE RUSSIA ISSUE.
NOW, SHE MAY HAVE SEEN-- >> Stephen: NO ONE'S ALLOWED TO
GO IN OR OUT OF THE "BIG BROTHER" HOUSE.
HAVE YOU SEEN "BIG BROTHER"?
>> I HAVE NOT SEEN "BIG BROTHER."
>> Stephen: WELL, OBVIOUSLY NOT.
NOW, I HAVE MY OWN MEMO.
HAVE OFFICIALLY RELEASED TODAY.
AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK.
THIS IS SO FAR-- IT'S BEEN-- REDACTED.
IT'S BEEN REDACTED.
CAN YOU READ WHAT IS ON THE MEMO?
>> THE MEMO SAYS, "INVESTIGATION UPDATE: DEVIN NUNES IS A--" AND
THEN IT'S REDACTED.
>> Stephen: YES.
WE DON'T KNOW.
"DEVIN NUNES IS A--" AND WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO RELEASE THAT
FOCUS RIGHT NOW.
>> THAT'S CLASSIFIED.
>> Stephen: CBS WON'T LET ME SAY IT ON AIR, EITHER.
>> I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE RELEASED.
>> Stephen: WITH THAT, I DECIDED TO RELEASE MY MEMO WITH THE MOST
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE.
HEY, THERE YOU GO!
THANKS VERY MUCH.
I NEEDED EVERYONE IN CONGRESS TO GET A COPY.
THERE WAS NO DOOR I WOULDN'T SLIDE IT UNDER.
( LAUGHTER ) OR TAPE IT TO.
SENATOR.
THEN I MARCHED RIGHT INTO SENATOR FLAKE'S OFFICE
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
>> Stephen: SINCE FLAKE ISN'T RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION, I
FIGURED HE WAS THE ONLY REPUBLICAN WILLING TO READ MY
MEMO ON TV.
>> Stephen: MAY I SIT WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT?
>> PLEASE.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S REDACTED.
>> "DEVIN NUNES IS A--" >> Stephen: YEAH.
COULD BE ANYTHING.
>> COULD.
>> Stephen: WE DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU HAVE ANY GUESSES WHAT IT MIGHT SAY UNDERNEATH THERE?
>> CALIFORNIAN?
>> Stephen: PUBLIC SERVANT?
>> FORMER DAIRY FARMER?
>> Stephen: FORMER DAIRY FARMER?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
BECAUSE HE SEEMS TO BE MILKING IT RIGHT NOW.
( LAUGHTER ) UH-HUH.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> Stephen: CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THIS RUG HERE?
WHY'D THEY GIVE YOU SUCH A SMALL RUG?
THERE'S NOT EVEN-- THERE'S NOT EVEN ROOM FOR THE UNUM.
ON THE E PLURIBUS.
>> THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU'RE A FRESHMAN.
DO YOU GET TO KEEP THE RUG?
>> I DO NOT.
>> Stephen: SO IF I TOOK THAT WITH ME TODAY, THAT WOULD BE A
BIG PROBLEM.
>> BIG PROBLEM.
>> Stephen: UNLIKE THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, I WAS SICK
OF WASTING TIME ON MEANINGLESS MEMO AND SAT DOWN WITH VICE
CHAIR OF THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, MARK WARNER.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE VICE CHAIR OF THE SENATE REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE?
DO YOU SEE EVERYTHING, ALL THE INTEL.
>> THE CHAIRMAN AND I ARE IN A GROUP THAT GETS TO SEE
EVERYTHING, YES.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SEEN-- AND I WANT TO SAY THIS IN THE
NIGHT OF THE WAY POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE'RE HERE IN THIS
CHAMBER AND THE SENATE IS AN AUGUST BODY AND I WANT TO SAY
THIS RESPECTFULLY-- THE PEE-PEE TAPE?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT PROBABLY EVEN REAL AT THIS POINT, IT'S
PROBABLY A PEE-PEEDVD 2018, WHO ARE WE KIDDING?
IT'S PROBABLY STREAMING.
UP TOP.
SENATOR, YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME THAT.
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD PUN.
YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME THAT ONE.
>> STAY TUNED.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT CAN YOU INDICT ANYBODY?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: WHO CAN?
>> THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
>> Stephen: ROBERT MUELLER.
>> ROBERT MUELLER.
>> >> Stephen: HOLD ON A SECOND.
COULD WE NOT GET MUELLER?
COULD WE NOT?
IS MUELLER NOT AVAILABLE?
I KIND OF WANTED TO TALK TO THE INDICTMENT GUY-- I'M SORRY, JUST
A SECOND.
I'M JUST SAYING, I'M GETTING NOTHING HERE.
THE GUY'S A STONE WALL.
MY APOLOGIES.
SORRY, A LITTLE CONFUSION WITH THE STAFF OVER THERE.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH MONEY THE PRESIDENT
RECEIVED FROM THE RUSSIANS?
>> WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS INVESTIGATION UNTIL WE GET ALL
THE FACTS.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU EVER JEALOUS THAT ADAM SCHIFF GETS TO
WORK WITH DEVIN NUNES.
DO YOU EVER SAY TO YOURSELF, "MAN, TEAR ME OFF A PIECE OF
THAT?" >> I'M HAPPY WITH THE COMMITTEE
I'VE GOT.
THE CHAIRMAN AND I HAVE A GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP, AND WE
HAVE A COMMITTEE THAT'S STAYING FOCUSED.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU STAY BIPARTISAN?
>> WE ALL KNOW THAT OUR FIRST OBLIGATION IS TO TRY TO ACTUALLY
GET TO THE FACTS.
>> Stephen: ISN'T DONALD TRUMP, IN A WAY THE ULTIMATE
BIPARTISAN BECAUSE HE IS SERVING BOTH AMERICA AND RUSSIA?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( LAUGHTER )
I'VE GOT ALL DAY.
ARE YOU JUST GOING TO YELL THROUGH THIS ENTIRE INTERVIEW?
GEE NO, I'M JUST...
>> Stephen: IS THERE A SCALE OF HOW MUCH MORE INFORMATION
THERE IS TO COME OUT?
>> I'M GOING TO RESERVE JUDGMENT UNTIL WE FINISH OUR REPORT.
>> Stephen: JUST SAY ANYTHING!
GIVE ME A HINT!
ANYTHING!
BLINK.
JUST BLINK IT OUT IN MORSE CODE.
TELL ME ANYTHING.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE'RE DYING OUT HERE.
WE'RE DROWNING IN IGNORANCE.
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU WILL TELL US EVENTUALLY, RIGHT?
YOU'LL TELL US SOMETHING.
>> I MEAN, WE WILL TELL YOU, EVENTUALLY.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU SHOW ANY EMOTION IF A FRIED EGG WINKED AT
YOU?
BECAUSE YOU REALLY HAVE A GREAT POKER FACE.
>> NOT IN-- NOT IN THE CASE OF THIS INVESTIGATION.
>> Stephen: I MEAN THIS AS A COMPLIMENT.
YOU LOOK DEAD INSIDE.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU EVER JUST WANT TO GO, "OH, STOP IT.
STOP LYING."
DO YOU EVER WANT TO SAY THAT?
>> THERE ARE SOME LONG DAYS.
>> Stephen: THERE ARE SOME LONG DAYS.
DODO YOU EVER WANT TO GO, KNOCK IT OFF.
WARNY DON'T PLAY LIKE THAT.
I ASKED YOU A QUESTION.
( LAUGHTER ) AND WHEN DID YOU FIRST WANT TO
GO INTO COMEDY?
( LAUGHTER ) SIR, I-- BEFORE WE GO, I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME.
I KNOW YOU'RE A VERY BUSY MAN.
YOU'VE BEEN IN COMMITTEE ALL DAY AND I-- I GOT YOU SOMETHING.
I WANTED YOU TO HAVE THIS AS-- AS A PRESENT.
( LAUGHTER ) I'D LOVE YOU TO HAVE THIS.
MAY I?
>> IF IT'S OVER $50, I CAN'T ACCEPT IT.
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT.
IT WAS FREE, ACTUALLY.
PLEASE.
>> THAT'S VERY NICE.
>> Stephen: MAY I?
>> THANK YOU.
THAT'S REALLY NICE.
WELL, SENATOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING TO ME TODAY.
>> THANK YOU, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: BUT, SERIOUSLY, THEY DID IT, RIGHT?
OKAY.
THAT'S A YES.
