COMING UP WEDNESDAY MORNING,
FIRST TOP STORY THIS HALF AN
HOUR, LEWANDOWSKI FIERY
TESTIMONY, TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
YESTERDAY OF RUSSIA
INTERFERENCE, WATCH THIS.
>> RANGES ACROSS NEARLY EVERY
COMMITTEE ORIGINALLY EVERY
INVESTIGATION OF THE
ADMINISTRATION.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS FALSELY
ACCUSED WITH COLLUDING, JIM
COMEY, WHEN WE DEPOSED HIM AT
THE VERY TABLE SAID AFTER 10
MONTHS OF INVESTIGATION WE
DIDN'T HAVE A THING.
BOB MUELLER GETS NAMED SPECIAL
COUNSEL, HE WASTES $30 MILLION
OF TAXPAYER MONEY AND HE SAT AT
THE SABLE A FEW WEEKS -- TABLE A
FEW WEEKS AGO AND DON'T CARE.
>> YOU CHICKENED OUT.
YOU PUT THE MESSAGE IN YOUR
SAFE, IN YOUR HOME FOR
SAFEKEEPING, CORRECT, BEFORE YOU
WENT ON VACATION?
>> I TOOK THE KIDS TO THE BEACH,
THAT'S MORE OF A PRIORITY.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU --
>> I'M GOING TO CONTINUE --
>> THIS IS HOUSE JUDICIARY --
>> THE FAKE RUSSIA COLLUSION
NARRATIVE IS A GREATEST CRIME
COMMITTED AGAINST THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND OUR GENERATION, IF
NOT EVER.
THIS IS A PRESIDENT WHO IS
DUALLY ELECTED BY THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF CERTAIN
BODIES REFUSE TO ACCEPT THOSE
ELECTION RESULTS.
>> YEAH, JOINING US RIGHT NOW
FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN VETERANS
AFFAIRS AND HOUSE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE MEMBER, CONGRESSMAN
GREET SEE YOU THIS MORNING.
>> THANK YOU.
MARIA: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE
HEARING, WHAT ARE WE LEARNING
FROM COREY LEWANDOWSKI BEING
QUESTIONED AND WHEN ARE WE GOING
TO HEAR FROM MICHAEL HOROWITZ?
>> FIRST OF ALL, WE DIDN'T LEARN
ANYTHING THAT WE DIDN'T ALREADY
KNOW AND MANY ON THE REPUBLICAN
SIDE IS WHY ARE WE GOING THROUGH
THE EXERCISE, MUELLER SPENT 22
MONTHS INVESTIGATING THE
COLLUSION-RUSSIA CONSPIRACY
THEORY AND FOUND NO COLLUSION
AND NOW DEMOCRATS WILL BRING IN
COREY LEWANDOWSKI WHO WAS
CAMPAIGN MANAGER AT THE TIME
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ALL THEY CAN
TALK ABOUT IS IMPEACHMENT,
THAT'S POLICY PERSPECTIVE AND
THE PARTY OF IMPEACHMENT, SO I
DON'T THINK -- I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE IG'S REPORT
COMING OUT, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT
IT'S COMPLETE, THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT IS GOING THROUGH IT
TO LEARN WHAT NEEDS TO BE
REDACTED FROM A CLASSIFIED
STANDPOINT, SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL
GET THAT REPORT VERY SOON.
MARIA: OKAY, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT.
YOUR COLLEAGUES ON THE LEFT ARE
PROBABLY GOING TO IGNORE THE
REPORT, I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW
ABUSE THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE HERE,
WE HAVE THE FISA DOCUMENTS
INVESTIGATE THAT'S ONGOING, GOP
LAWMAKERS ARE WAITING ON THE DOJ
INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT ON THE
ORIGINS OF THE RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION, BUT WE PRETTY
MUCH KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING THE
SAY, CHAIRMAN LINDSEY GRAHAM
WEIGHED IN ON HANNITY LAST
NIGHT, HERE IS WHAT HE SAID.
>> HERE IS WHAT I I WANT YOU TO
KNOW EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND
THE FBI KNEW THAT THE SOURCE OF
THE DOCUMENT HAD A BIAS AND THEY
DID NOTHING TO ENSURE THE
DOCUMENT WAS RELIABLE, IF NOT
RELIABLE TO THIS DAY AND IF THE
COURT DOESN'T CLEAR THIS UP AND
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION, THEN WHY
DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE IN THE
FUTURE TO BE DETERRED.
IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T GO TO JAIL
AND IF THE COURT DOESN'T HOLD
THOSE WHO LIED TO THE COURT
ACCOUNTABLE, THEN WE WILL HAVE
MISSED A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW.
MARIA: WELL, RESTORE TRUTH, I
MEAN, THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
MICHAEL HOROWITZ WILL TESTIFY ON
CAPITOL HILL TODAY, WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO LEARN, IS HE GOING TO
BE ASKED ABOUT THE FISA FAILURES
AND THE FRAUD COMMITTED AT THE
FISA COURT LIKE NOT INCLUDING
EVIDENCE TO THE FISA COURT WITH
THAT DOSSIER?
>> I'M SURE REPUBLICANS WILL ASK
HIM THAT BUT BECAUSE THE
DOCUMENT AND THE INVESTIGATION
IS NOT PUBLIC YET WE PROBABLY
WON'T LEARN THE DETAILS OF THAT
AND PROBABLY REFRAIN FROM
GETTING INTO THE DETAILS OF
UNTIL THE REPORT IS PUBLIC BUT
THANK GOD FOR AG BARR AND AG
BARR IS IN THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IF THERE WERE
CRIMES COMMITTED I FEEL VERY
STRONGLY THAT HE'S GOING TO
PROSECUTE THOSE CRIMES AND I
THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
DESERVE TO SEE WHAT TRULY
HAPPENED HERE, WHAT PRECIPITATED
ALL OF THIS, A NARRATIVE BY THE
DEMOCRATS FROM A, YOU KNOW, FISA
ABUSE OF A PHONEY DOSSIER AND
THAT'S WHERE WE GOT TO WHERE WE
WENT TODAY.
MARIA: ONCE AGAIN HILLARY
CLINTON AND THE CLINTON MACHINE
RUNNING THE WORLD, GOVERNOR, IT
WAS HER THAT WAS ACTUALLY
COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS, SHE
PAID FOR THE DOSSIER.
>> ABSOLUTELY, CONGRESSMAN, AT
SOME POINT WE ALL WANT TO
BELIEVE, THIS IS MIKE HUCKABEE I
THINK THAT WE ALL WANT TO
BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL GET
SORTED OUT AND THERE'S GOING TO
BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE
PART OF THE PEOPLE ON THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION WHO ARE ACTUALLY
IN POWER AT THE TIME OF THE
RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WAS GOING
ON, DONALD TRUMP WAS CANDIDATE,
HE WAS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, SO WHY
ARE WE ASKING HIM TO BE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR SOMETHING WHEN
HE WAS NOT IN GOVERNMENT AND THE
PEOPLE WHO WERE IN GOVERNMENT
ARE BASICALLY GETTING OFF THE
HOOK, DO YOU HAVE ANY HOPE AND
CONFIDENCE WE WILL GET TO THE
RIGHT PEOPLE AND HOLE THEM
ACCOUNTABLE?
>> AND THAT'S A GREAT POINT, IT
WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE HEARING BY
REPUBLICANS WAS THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN EVER ADVISED OF THE
FACT THAT THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION KNEW THAT
RUSSIANS WERE TRYING TO MEDDLE
IN THE CAMPAIGN, THEY KNEW, AND
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT
ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP THE
PRESIDENT KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON
AND THEY FAIL TODAY ADVISE THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN THAT THIS TYPE OF
THING WAS GOING ON AND THE BAD
ACTORS WERE OUT THERE TRYING TO
INFLUENCE IT, THEY WE WANTED TO
SET THE WHOLE THING UP AND PUT
IT IN A PERSPECTIVE THAT IF
TRUMP WON THEY CAN INVESTIGATE
HIM AND CREATE THE WHOLE
COLLUSION NARRATIVE THAT HE WAS
COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT AND HE WAS NOT, SO
I'M HOPEFUL THAT AG BARR WILL
BRING PEOPLE TO JUSTICE IF THERE
WERE CRIMES COMMITTED.
>> IN TERMS OF CASTING, THOUGH,
THE DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED
COMMITTEE FIRST IT WAS BOB
MUELLER DISASTER THAT DIDN'T
DELIVER RESULTS AND THEN -- YOU
SAY THEY'RE GOING TO GET ONE
OVER ONCORY LEWANDOWSKI.
>> HE'S A PIT BULL AND DRAGGED
YOU OVER THE CARPET, SO TO SPEAK
.
NO CONSPIRING WITH THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT AND THAT WAS A FACT.
>> CONGRESSMAN, YOU GO OUT TO
THE PUBLIC AND TALK TO
CONSTITUENTS, HOW MANY COME TO
YOU AND SAY CONGRESSMAN, I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS,
DONALD TRUMP SOMEHOW MAKING A
DISASTER OUT OF RACISM, I'M JUST
CURIOUS BUT YOU TALK TO YOUR
CONSTITUENTS, HOW ORCH DOES THAT
COME -- OFTEN DOES THAT COME UP
FROM VOTERS IN THE DISTRICT?
>> I TALKED ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY
AND WE JUST GOT BACK FROM OUR
6-WEEK BREAK OVER THE AUGUST
RECESS AND I WAS LARGE DISTRICT
IN STATE OF FLORIDA AND NOT A
SINGLE FLORIDANS, NOT EVEN A
SINGLE DEMOCRAT CAME UP TO ME
TALKED ABOUT IMPEACHING THE
PRESIDENT, IT'S NOT ON THE MINDS
OF FLORIDANS, IT'S NOT ON THE
LIVES OF AMERICANS, THEY WANT TO
SOLVE REAL ISSUES, CRISIS ON THE
BORDER, SOLVING REAL ISSUES
AFFECTING THEIR LIVES, THEY
COULD CARE LESS ABOUT
IMPEACHMENT NARRATIVE.
DAGEN: CONSERVATIVES ARE MAD
ABOUT THE DEBT AND THE DEFICIT,
I WILL TELL YOU THAT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
DAGEN: A LOT OF TIME IN MY
HOMETOWN IN THE DISTRICT WHICH I
GREW UP WHICH IS BLUE AND RED
AND EVERYBODY IS VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT, GOVERNOR.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THEY KNOW REPUBLICANS CAN'T
FIX IT BY THEMSELVES AS LONG AS
YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS RUNNING THE
HOUSE.
YOU CAN'T BLAME REPUBLICANS FOR
ALL OF THAT.
ONE THING WE SAW YESTERDAY THAT
DEMOCRATS ARE FISHING IN THE
DEAD SEA, CHARTERING BOATS
FISHING IN THE DEAD SEA AND
THERE'S NOTHING THERE AND THEY
WILL COME UP EMPTY AND GOD'S
GIFT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
REELECTION NEXT YEAR.
MARIA: ALL THE PLANS ON THE
LEFT, CONGRESSMAN, WHAT ARE YOU
SEEING IN TERMS OF PEOPLE MOVING
TO FLORIDA, THIS WEEK WE HAD
CARL ICAHN, THE TAX PLANS ON THE
LEFT ARE ONLY GOING GET WORSE IN
TERMS OF -- IF ELIZABETH WARREN
GETS IN OR BERNIE SANDERS RAISE
TAXES.
>> A THOUSAND PEOPLE OF DAY MOVE
TO FLORIDA, WE DON'T HAVE INCOME
TAX IN FLORIDA AND THAT'S WHY A
LOT OF PEOPLE UP NORTH THAT MOVE
NOT JUST WEATHER BUT POLITICAL
CLIMATE AND FLORIDA IS GREAT
PLACE NOT JUST RETIRE BUT START
YOUR BUSINESS AND TO RESIDE, SO
YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SEE PEOPLE
MOVE HERE AND I THINK WE PICK UP
A COUPLE OF CONGRESSIONAL SEATS
BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE MOVING
TO FLORIDA.
MARIA: GOOD TO SEE YOU.
DAGEN: THEY ARE LIBERAL AND THEY
WILL VOTE BLUE.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
MARIA: TRY TO PUSH FOR A
DIFFERENT POLICY LIKE WHAT WE
ARE SEEING A LITTLE IN TEXAS.
>> NOT IN MY SIDE OF THE STATE,
THE PEOPLE MOVING TO MY SIDE OF
