>> Shannon: THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
OUR NEXT GUEST FOUND HIMSELF IN
THE CENTER OF THE MEDIA
FIRESTORM ON TUESDAY,
CONGRESSMAN DAN CRENSHAW
FACT-CHECKED A "NEW YORK TIMES"
WRITER WHO THEN APOLOGIZED AND
DELETED A TWEET CLAIMING HE
DIDN'T SUPPORT THE 9/11 VICTIMS
COMPENSATION FUND.
THE MAN REPRESENTING TEXAS IS
SECOND DISTRICT, THANKS FOR
COMING IN.
WE WANT TO PUT UP SOME OF THE
SCUM OF THE INITIAL TWEET WAS
ANY TIME A REPUBLICAN SAYS THEY
ARE PATRIOTS ASKED THEM TO VOTE
FOR THE 9/11 VICTIMS FUND.
I HOPE YOU DO THE RIGHT THING,
IF NOT, WHY AREN'T YOU?
THAT HAS BEEN DELETED BECAUSE
YOU SAID CHECK YOUR FACTS, I
COSPONSORED THIS THING.
IN RESPONSE TO YOU, HE
QUESTIONED WHY YOU DELAYED
GETTING BEHIND THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF LEGISLATION?
>> THERE'S SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH
THE PREMISE OF HIS TWEET, THAT
PATRIOTISM IS TIED TO SOME
LEGISLATION.
THAT IS AN EXCUSABLE THING TO
SAY, YOU'RE GOING TO STAND ON
THE GRAVES OF 9/11 VICTIMS AND
CLAIM THAT I AM NOT A PATRIOT
AND I HAVE NOT DEFENDED THIS
COUNTRY AGAINST THE PERPETRATORS
OF 9/11, IT'S AN INEXCUSABLE
ACCUSATION FROM THE GET-GO.
>> Shannon: YOU HAVE DONE
MULTIPLE COMBAT TOURS OF DUTY
AND OBVIOUSLY PAID A PRICE.
>> LISTEN TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING
AND THIS STARTED WITH
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, SHE
WAS THE FIRST TO TRY TO USE THIS
CYNICAL TACTIC.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK THROUGH
THOUSANDS OF BILLS THAT ARE OUT
THERE, THEY'RE GOING TO FIND
WHICH ONES HAVE NOT BEEN
COSPONSORED BY CERTAIN MEMBERS
AND THEY ARE GOING TO CLAIM THAT
YOU DON'T SUPPORT IT BECAUSE YOU
HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO
COSPONSOR IT YET.
THAT'S ABSURD.
THAT BILL JUST CAME OUT OF
COMMITTEE THIS WEEK.
BACK WHEN THESE ACCUSATIONS WERE
MADE, I HADN'T EVEN HAD THE
CHANCE TO LOOK INTO IT YET AND
YOU'RE GOING TO ATTACK SOMEBODY
AND SAY THEY DON'T SUPPORT
SOMETHING BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD
A CHANCE TO COSPONSOR IT YET?
THIS IS A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR
BILL, WE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
I MET WITH JOHN FIELDS, ONE OF
THE GUYS WHOSE ORGANIZATION IS
PUSHING THIS REALLY HARD TO.
I MET WITH HIM, I LEARNED ABOUT
OF AND I GOT BEHIND IT.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE, IT'S DISHONEST
TACTICS, THEY KNOW IT'S
DISHONEST AND WE CANNOT GET TO
THIS PLACE IN POLITICS WHERE YOU
ARE SEEKING OUT SOMETHING
SOMEBODY HASN'T COSPONSORED YET
AND CLAIMING YOU ARE AGAINST IT.
THEY KNOW THE PUBLIC DOESN'T
UNDERSTAND THAT, THEY THINK
YOU'RE VOTING AGAINST IT.
>> Shannon: HE DELETED THAT
AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO HOLD
OUT.
HE WANTED TO PROVE THIS FOR
HIMSELF.
HE SAID THANKS FOR LETTING ME
KNOW, I'M GLAD THAT YOU DID.
NOW TRY IT WITH YOUR COMMENTS
ABOUT ILHAN OMAR, YOU'LL FEEL
BETTER.
DO YOU TAKE THAT AS AN APOLOGY?
>> THAT'S AT BEST A HALF APOLOGY
WITH A SNARKY LITTLE SNIPE AT ME
IN THE END.
DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE
COMMENTS BY ILHAN OMAR REGARDING
9/11 WHICH IS WHERE ALL OF THIS
MATERIALIZED.
THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN
POLITICIZING 9/11, THEY
POLITICIZED THIS BILL FOR THE
VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND AND ITS
SHAMEFUL, IT'S ABSOLUTELY
SHAMEFUL.
>> Shannon: I WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THE BORDER AS WELL, THERE
ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOUSING
PEOPLE IN OKLAHOMA.
ONE OF YOUR DEMOCRATIC
COLLEAGUES SAID DURING
WORLD WAR II, IT WAS USED AS A
PRISON FOR INNOCENT
JAPANESE-AMERICANS, SEVEN YEARS
LATER, TRUMP IS USING IT TO
IMPRISON IMMIGRANT CHILDREN,
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND CRUEL.
>> THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE
DUMBEST COMMENTS WE'VE SEEN, THE
MEDIA AND "TIME" MAGAZINE AND
THE HILL REPORTED THIS, THEY
SAID THE ADMINISTRATION IS
PUTTING KIDS WHERE WE USED TO WE
USED TO HAVE INTERMENT FOR
JAPANESE AND IN WORLD WAR II.
THE IMPLICATION IS THAT WE ARE
PUTTING PEOPLE IN CONCENTRATION
CAMPS, NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER
FROM THE TRUTH, THIS IS A
MILITARY BASE, WE ARE LOOKING
FOR PLACES TO HOUSE KIDS IN A
HUMANE WAY.
IT'S LIKE SAYING WE COULD NO
LONGER HAVE VISITORS AS
ALCATRAZ, WE CAN'T DO IT, WE
CAN'T HAVE KIDS WALKING AROUND
ALCATRAZ, IS NONSENSE, IT'S USED
FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
NOW.
IT'S NOT A CONCENTRATION CAMP,
IT'S NOT CLOSE TO THAT.
THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO OPEN
IT UP TO MEDIA.
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR ARGUMENTS
WITHOUT BEING SO DISHONEST BUT
THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TRUST
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA?
>> Shannon: WE KNOW THIS A LOT
