IN AN ODD ATTEMPT TO DEFEND DONALD TRUMP'S CLAIM THAT
FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WIRETAPPED TRUMP TOWER
DURING THE LAST ELECTION, SEAN SPICER INADVERTENTLY MADE
THINGS MUCH WORSE WHICH WE ARE GOING TO SEE THIS VIDEO THE
FOX NEWS ON MUCH 14TH
THE JUDGE MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT. THE INTELLIGENCE
SERVICE HAVE INFORMED FOX NEWS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WENT
OUTSIDE THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, HE DIDN'T USE THE NSA OR THE
CIA, OR THE FBI AND HE DIDN'T USE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
HE USED THE GCHQ.
WHAT IS THAT?
IT'S THE INITIALS FOR THE BRITISH INTELLIGENCE FINDING AGENCY.
TWO PEOPLE SAYING TO THEM PRESIDENT NEEDS TRANSCRIPTS OF CONVERSATIONS
INVOLVING CANDIDATE TRUMP'S CONVERSATIONS,
HE IS ABLE TO GET IT AND THERE IS NO AMERICAN FINGERPRINTS
ON THIS.
YOU SEE THERE THEY HAVE GONE FROM BARACK OBAMA HIMSELF
PERSONALLY ORDERING WIRETAPPING TO THEN WIRETAPPING MEANS
ANYTHING THEY NEEDED TO MEET AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME TO NOW OKAY
FINE, IT WASN'T ACTUALLY US INTELLIGENCE BUT JUDGE
NAPOLITANO SAYS PRESIDENT OBAMA USED INTELLIGENCE SERVICES OF
THE UK, OUR CLOSEST ALLY TO SPY ON DONALD TRUMP THE CANDIDATE
THAT PERSONALLY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY WE'RE STILL TALKING
ABOUT IT I'VE JUDGE NAPOLITANO SAID IT TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.
HE IS ON TV.
HE IS MORE THAN HE PERHAPS SHOULD BE.
SEAN SPICER JUST SAYS IT IS BACK THERE AND HERE'S THE CRAZY
THING: IN THE UK, THEY HAVE TV AND THEY CAN SEE THAT AND SAYING
THAT A FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SPIED ON
CANDIDATES, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO BACK THAT UP
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO JUST A SECOND BUT OF COURSE WE
WANT TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE IN THE UK TO RESPOND.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW THE ORGANIZATION, SPICER
BRIEFLY DEFINED IT THERE BUT THE GC HQ CARRIES OUT
ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE TO COMBAT TERRORISM, CYBER
THREATS AND SERIOUS CRIME. ONE OF THREE UK
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, THE OTHERS BEING IN MI5 AND MI6
WHICH I'M SURE YOU KNOW FROM JAMES BOND MOVIES.
AS SPOKESPERSON FOR THE PRIME MINISTER RESPONDED TO
BASICALLY THESE ASSERTIONS BY THE PRESS SECRETARY SAYING
WE'VE MADE CLEAR TO THE US INITIATION THAT THESE GUNS
ARE RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE IGNORED THAT WE'VE RECEIVED
ASSURANCES THAT THESE ALLEGATIONS WILL BE REPEATED.
VICIOUS ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T GET THE ALLEGATIONS ANY
CREDENCE.
WE HAVE A CLOSE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WHITE
HOUSE AND THAT ALLOWS US TO RAISE CONCERNS AS AND WHEN
THEY ARISE, AS WAS TRUE IN THIS CASE.
AS OF THAT POINT IT SEEMED LIKE THERE HAD BEEN CORONATION
BETWEEN THE UK AND THE YOU AS AN EITHER SEAN SPICER OR
REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE APOLOGIZED BUT IT
TURNS OUT THAT THAT IS PROBABLY NOT ACTUALLY THE CASE.
LET'S JUMP AHEAD TO 18 HERE.
SEAN SPICER SAYING I DON'T THINK WE REGRET ANYTHING IN
RESPONSE TO THAT, NO, WE WERE JUST PASSING ON NEWS REPORTS
OF DIANE MISTER SPICER AND GENERAL MCMASTER THE NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR EXPLAINED THAT MISTER SPICER WAS SIMPLY
PUTTING SOME PUBLIC REPORTS, NOT ENDORSING ANY SPECIFIC STORY.
THE CRAZY PART OF THIS IS THAT THEY START AT THE BEGINNING
OF MARCH WHEN THE PRESIDENT TWEETED THAT I JUST FOUND OUT,
BREAKING NEWS, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD SPIED ON ME. IT GOES FROM
THAT TO THEN HOW EVERYBODY IS DISPUTED THE REPORTS WE HAS TO
CHANGE IT TO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT AS HE ALREADY WENT OVER TOP OF
THIS LATEST ATTEMPT IS A LET'S TAMPER THIS DOWN, A HUGE
ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY HELP THE FORMER PRESIDENT DO IT.
THAT IS LESS OF AN ACCUSATION RATHER THAN SAYING A FORMER
PRESIDENT DID IT.
THAT IS GOING TO CLEAR THE AIR.
HOW DID THEY MISS OF THIS IS RIPPING UP ACCUSATION?
LET'S BRING IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, THEY DID IT JUST TO SPY ON
ME THAT THE LEVEL OF SELF-IMPORTANCE WHEN YOU
ARE NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL IS ASTOUNDING THOUGHT
THERE HAVE BEEN CLAIMS THAT HE SEEMS LIKE HE QUICKLY
REGRETTED THAT WHEN HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THE MILLIONS
OF FAKE VOTES HE SAID WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN
INVESTIGATION NOW NOBODY EVER TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN.
LET'S JUST FORGET ABOUT THAT.
BUT WHAT DOES HE JUST KEEPS DOUBLING DOWN.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT LATER ON WITH ISLAND
MARKEL, ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THIS.
WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS NOT SO MUCH SO MUCH PARTICULARLY THE UK
OR THE WIRETAPPING CLAIMS AGAINST THE UK.
HE IS GOING TO SUE HIM, IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN ANYTHING
BUT THIS IS AN INDICATION OF HIS ADMINISTRATION'S INABILITY
TO ADMIT FAULT AND TO TAKE THEMSELVES OFF OF THE WRONG
ROAD THOUGHT THEY LOST ALL THE REPUBLICAN ALLIES.
YOU HAVE THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE COMMITTEE, THE
SENATE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE COMMITTEE BOTH SAYING THEY
FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED THAT YOU
HAVE THE FBI DODGING EVERY ATTEMPT FROM THE SENATE AND
HOUSE TO GET THEM TO COMMENT ON THIS.
CLEARLY THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THEY CAN SIMPLY MOVE ON TO
OTHER MATTERS.
NEVER PRESS CONFERENCE A HAVE TO KEEP DOUBLING DOWN ON IT
AND RIGHT NOW AGAIN THIS IS INCONSEQUENTIAL NECESSARILY
BUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH NORTH KOREA OR SOMETHING
ELSE HAPPENS WHERE LIVES ARE ON THE LINE IF HE FEELS LIKE
HIS PRIDE IS ON THE LINE HE SIMPLY CANNOT BACK DOWN AND
I COULD BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IN THE FUTURE.
HE ALSO CANCELED THE TRUTH.
JEFF SESSIONS I'M PRETTY SURE THE TIMELINE OF THIS, JUST
SESSIONS GETS CAUGHT LYING AND THE NEXT A HE SAYS OBAMA IS
TAPPING ME.
THAT IS WHAT HE LEARNED EARLY ON AS A CARNIVAL BARKING TO LIST A
GUY IN MANHATTAN WAS HOW TO MANIPULATE THE PRESS AND HE
KNOWS THAT IF THERE SOMETHING GOING ON THAT IS SALACIOUS, YOU
SAY SOMETHING EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS AND SALACIOUS AND
THEN HE SITS BACK AND WATCHES THE NEWS MEDIA FOLLOWING� IS
WHAT I THINK IS HAPPENING HERE.
WHY HE WON'T LET IT GO IS ALSO CONFUSING TO ME.
I'M PRETTY SURE WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING CONFUSING LIKE
THAT IT'S TO GET THEM OFF SOMETHING THAT HE SAID BEFORE.
HE KIND OF JUST MAKE STEP UP BUT YOU KNOW THERE REALLY IS NO
CONSEQUENCE TO HIM PERSONALLY FOR DOING ANY OF THE
STUFFED I COULD START A WAR.
IS BASED BELIEVED THEM.
60% THINK OBAMA DID DO IT.
THE THING IS I AGREE, THAT WAS PROBABLY HIS OBJECTIVE.
THE PROBLEM IS HE WAS SAYING THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT
COMMITTED A FEDERAL CRIME. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT
COULD'VE HAPPENED SO WE HAVE TO FIND OUT.
WOW, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IMAGINE THAT BARACK OBAMA HAD DONE IT.
THAT WOULD BE NEWS.
HE'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRESIDENT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY ALL THE TIME.
I WISH WE COULD NOT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY AS A FORMER
CANDIDATE AND ONCE AGAIN REALITY TV STAR.
I WOULD PREFER THAT.
NO SUCH LUCK.
HE IS AS SICK AS OUR CULTURE IN A SENSE, IN OUR NEWS MEDIA CULTURE.
I THINK HE IS WILLING TO BE LIKE HE IS COMPLETELY
SENSATIONALISTIC AND OVER-THE-TOP AND THEY ARE
COMPLETELY WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH IT.
THAT IS WHAT I THINK IS GOING ON.
I WISH THAT THE NEWS MEDIA WOULDN'T LET DONALD TRUMP
DICTATE THE NEWS CYCLE BUT IT'S HARD TO DO THAT.
HE'S THE PRESIDENT ARE
EXACTLY.
OKAY, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY?
IT WAS JUST PART OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY WITH
ANGELA MERKEL.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET TO IT BUT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT
THAT THE WAY THE HE THEN APPROACHES THE NEXTEP IS TO
SHIFT THE BLAME ONE MORE TIME.
YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT WE ARE GOING TO
GO TO THIS VIDEO BECAUSE AS JAYAR POINTS OUT, HE IS MEETING
WITH LEADERS OF ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRIES IN THE
MOMENT ONE OF OUR CLOSE ALLIES AND ONE THAT WE NEED ANISH
ISSUE AND ASSISTANCE FROM AND LOOK ALLEY CAN WHAT AGO.
AFTER THESE CLAIMS ARE REJECTED, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON
THAT.
ARE THERE OTHER SUSPECTS OR DO YOU THINK IT WAS A MISTAKE
TO BLAME BRITISH INTELLIGENCE FOR THIS?
AS FAR AS WIRETAPPING I GUESS BY THIS PAST ADMINISTRATION.
AT LEAST WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON PERHAPS.
AND JUST TO FINISH YOUR QUESTION, WE SAID NOTHING.
ALL WE DID WAS QUOTE A CERTAIN VERY TALENTED LEGAL MIND
WHO WAS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAYING THAT ON TELEVISION.
I DIDN'T MAKE AN OPINION ON IT, THAT WAS A STATEMENT MADE
BY A VERY TALENTED LAWYER ON FOX AND SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE
TALKING TO ME.
WELL, WE JUST SAID THAT IT WAS NAPOLITANO.
HE SAID IS A MUST BE TRUE.
JUST TALK TO HIM.
WE JUST ADVERTISE HIS WORK BUT TALK TO HIM.
IN THE REELECTION CAMPAIGN DONALD TRUMP SLOGAN IS GOING
TO BE THE BUCK STOPS EVERYWHERE ELSE, NOWHERE NEAR ME.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP SAYING THINGS AND THEN GO IT WAS
NAPOLITANO, THE GUY THAT I TRUSTED SO I HAD MY PRESS
SECRETARY LEAD VERBATIM WHAT HE SAID STUPIDLY ON FOX NEWS SO IT
IS A FALL, WE JUST REGURGITATED THE WORDS OF SOME RANDOM DUDE ON
FOX BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING ONE MORNING BEFORE I HAD MY COFFEE.
THAT'S THE REASONING?
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO OH, THAT IS A REASONABLE EXCUSE MISTER
PRESIDENT I UNDERSTAND NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
OBVIOUSLY HE IS GOING TO USE AN ARTICLE ON BREITBART OR
SOMETHING THAT JUDGE NAPOLITANO SAYS TO REINFORCE WHAT HE
BELIEVES SO THERE'S THE STRATEGIC ELEMENT TRYING TO
DISTRACT US AND THEN THERE IS ALSO THAT HE SEEMS TO
GENUINELY BELIEVE, IF YOU TRUST THE SOURCE IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, HE BELIEVES AUTOMATICALLY AND
HE WILL IMMEDIATELY ACT BASED ON IT.
ONE OTHER THING WITH ON A VIDEO OF COURSE IS WE CAN'T
OVERSTATE HOW IMPORTANT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HEADS
OF COUNTRIES ARE.
HOW MUCH THEY LIKE EACH OTHER CAN BE INTERESTING AND
IMPORTANT POSSIBLY BUT IT IS NOT EVERYTHING. AT THE SAME
TIME THOUGH, YOU SAW THE LOOK ON ANGELA MERKEL FACE: SHE
DESPISES HIS LITTLE MAN AND WE KNOW THAT. I�M SURE SHE HAS THE
SAME FEELING THAT THE JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER, WE'RE GOING
TO GET BACK TO THE VIDEO, IT�S A TROUBLING SITUATION WHEN
APPARENTLY NO FOREIGN LEADERS WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
THAT IS A DIFFICULT SPOT TO BE IN.
THE DUDE IS ALL ABOUT LOYALTY.
WHOEVER IS NOT WITH HIM DURING THE CAMPAIGN, SCRUB THEM
AND GET RID OF HIM THOUGHT HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ME ONE
TIME I ONE INTERVIEW, GET THEM OUT HERE.
HOW QUICKLY DID HE TURN ON NAPOLITANO?
DON'T ASK ME, YOU KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A?
THAT VERY TALENTED JUDGE ON THE VERY TALENTED NETWORK.
I'M JUST SAYING GO TALK TO HIM.
DON'T TALK TO ME.
IMAGINE HOW QUICKLY HE WILL TURN AROUND AND STAB YOU IN THE BACK.
HE MIGHT WANT THEM IN THE
FUTURE, THAT'S WAY THROUGH
THE LEGAL MIND THING HE DID THAT LAST WEEK WITH THE GENERAL
THREE IS LIKE YOU KNOW IT IS ON THE GENERALS WHICH ARE THE
MOST RESPECTED GENERALS I HEAR IN A LONG TIME.
HE IS SCRAMBLING TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING.
