WHILE.
BERNIE WILLIAMS WILL BE HERE.
NOT ONLY A BETTER BASEBALL
PLAYER, HE IS A BETTER MUSICIAN.
AINSLEY: LOOK WHAT JUST CAME
OUT.
WHY GERALDO IS SITTING OUT ON
CURVY COUCH.
WE WILL GET TO THE BOOK AND TALK
ABOUT IT.
TALK ABOUT THE NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL WILL
INVESTIGATE FISA ABUSES,
GERALDO.
IT ABOUT TIME?
>> FIRST OF ALL THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL IS GETTING A
SHORT-SHRIFT IN TERMS OF HIS
POTENCY.
A LOT OF REPUBLICANS
COMPLAINING, DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE INSPECTOR GENERAL, WHY
NOT HAVE A SPECIAL COUNSEL, A
LOOKING INTO ABUSES LED TO
ISSUANCE OF THE FISA WARRANT
THAT LED TO WIRETAPS OF CARTER
PAGE THAT LED TO ALL OF THE
RUSSIA COLLUSION STORY.
PETE: LACK OF INVESTIGATION.
>> LACK OF EMAIL INVESTIGATION
HOW IT PETERED OUT.
I DISAGREE.
I THINK HOROWITZ IS A GREAT
CHOICE.
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL SO FAR HAS
DONE A GOOD JOB.
IT TAKES A WHILE BUT I BELIEVE
THERE IS IF NECESSARY A GRAND
JURY IN THE FUTURE.
I THINK THEY WILL DO ABSOLUTELY.
DON'T KNOW IN UNCOVERING THIS
VERY IRREGULAR, ALMOST
SELF-FULFILLING FISA
APPLICATION.
HOW DID YOU GET A FISA
APPLICATION?
YOU PAY OR CREATE A DOSSIER OF
UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS.
YOU PAY FOR IT.
THEN YOU PRESENT IT TO THE FISA
COURT.
THEN YOU GET YOUR FISA WARRANT.
IT STARTS WIRETAPPING, REMEMBER
HOW CRAZY PEOPLE THOUGHT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THAT TRUMP
TOWER WAS WIRETAPPED IN FIRST
MONTH OF HIS ADMINISTRATION?
SOMETIMES CRAZY STUFF IS RIGHT.
BRIAN: CALLING HARRY REID TO GET
A STORY TALKING ABOUT TRUMP
ALLEGED LINKS OF RUSSIA.
I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WHOLE
SEGMENT.
THE FISA COURT, YOU NEED
INTEGRITY.
BRIAN: ETHICS AND INTEGRITY.
THERE IS NO DEFENSE ATTORNEY.
IF YOU'RE THE JUDGE, GERALDO,
HAS TO BE 100% AUTHENTICATED
BECAUSE THE JUDGE IS TRUSTING
YOUR INTEGRITY.
IF THE INTEGRITY IS NOT THERE,
PROCESS FALLS APART AND ABUSES
FLAIR UP.
WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT IF THERE
IS WIDESPREAD ABUSE BUT JUST
EVERYTHING.
>> LOOK HOW YOUR FINAL SENTENCE
RINGS.
WE ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.
WE DO FIND OUT.
WE WILL FIND OUT.
YOU CAN'T HIDE THESE THINGS.
THEY DON'T REMAIN INVISIBLE
FOREVER.
NOW IT HAS TAKEN SOME TIME.
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS HAVE
BEEN RAISING THE STINK.
NOW IT IS REVEALED THIS NOBLE,
THIS MONUMENT TO FAIRNESS AND
INTEGRITY OF YOUR NATIONAL
SECURITY SYSTEM, THE FISA COURTS
NOT THAT THEY DID ANYTHING
WRONG, THAT THE INFORMATION THEY
WERE GIVEN WAS POLLUTED BY
POLITICS.
I THINK THAT THIS WILL END UP IN
A VERY INTERESTING PLACE.
I THINK THAT YOU MAY INDEED FIND
A KIND OF COLLUSION THAT NOBODY
EVER EXPECTED.
TRUMP WALKS AND THE DNC AND SOME
OF THE OTHERS GET STUNG BY THEIR
OWN CORRUPTION.
AINSLEY: TALK ABOUT AMAZON.
JEFF BEZOS, THE FOUNDER OF
AMAZON, THERE IS TALK THAT HE
COULD GET A BIG DEFENSE
CONTRACT, THE COMPANY COULD, GO
A GOVERNMENT iCLOUD THING,
JEDI CLOUD.
FOR THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT IS
WORTH $10 BILLION.
THE PRESIDENT OF LESS GOVERNMENT
PUT OUT AN AD IN
"NEW YORK POST." THIS SHOULDN'T
HAPPEN.
YOU'RE GIVING MONEY TO ONE
INDIVIDUAL WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE
PRESIDENT, WHO MADE THAT CLEAR.
YOU WILL GIVE HIM A CONTRACT FOR
$10 BILLION SO HE CAN USE IT
AGAINST YOU IN THE NEXT
ELECTION.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETED ABOUT IT
THIS MORN.
I TWEETED MY CONCERNS BEFORE THE
ELECTION.
UNLIKE OTHER COMPANIES AND THEY
PAY LITTLE OR NO TAXES TO THE
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
USE OUR POSTAL SYSTEM AS THEIR
DELIVERY BOY, CAUSING TREMENDOUS
LOSS TO THE U.S. AND PUTTING
MANY THOUSANDS OF RETAILERS OUT
OF BUSINESS.
>> IF FAIR THAT THE LOCAL RETAIL
ARE PAYS SALE TAX AND AMAZON
COMES IN, DELIVERS SOMETHING TO
THAT STORE, THERE IS NO TAX PAID
AND AMAZON DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE
TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
POTHOLE IN THE ROAD.
FOCUSES ON WHAT CONTRACT AMAZON
MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE GOT EN, THE
FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE, THE PRESIDENT
HIGHLIGHTED, THESE ONLINE
RETAILERS DON'T PAY SALES TAX
GENERALLY SPEAKING.
THEY DO IN SPOTTED
JURISDICTIONS.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
WON'T THAT LEAD TO THE
DETERIORATION OF THE MOM-AND-POP
SHOP DOWNTOWN IN CITY?
BRIAN: WHAT HIT HOME,
TOYS "R" US.
EVERY PARENT REMEMBERS WALKING,
WHETHER YOU GET A TOY, YOU WALK
THROUGH LIKE A ZOO, YOU HAVE
MEMORIES.
THEY SAY WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH
AMAZON.
WHERE DOES IT STOP?
>> I'M WEARING BOOTS.
THEY'RE WORN OUT.
I'M DOING PUBLICITY.
I WANT TO GO TO SHOE STORE.
GO TO A SHOE STORE?
DELIVER IT NEXT DAY OR DAY
AFTER.
WHERE IS THE SHOW STORE?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SHOE
STORE IS.
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE A SHOE
STORE IS.
BRIAN: WHEN YOU GO TO A SHOE
STORE, YOU PUT YOUR FOOT UP
THERE, GO IN THE BACK, GET A
SIZE NINE.
AINSLEY: SILVER COLD THING.
BRIAN: SHOEHORN.
>> THERE WILL BE MORE BARS.
BRIAN: WHY GO TO A BAR, YOU CAN
DRINK ALONE.
AINSLEY: BECAUSE WE'VE GOTTEN
TOO BUSY TO TIME TO SHOP?
WE HAVE ONLY TIME TO SHOP
ONLINE?
>> THAT IS TRUE, AINSLEY.
I HATE TO SAY IT TO THE
MOM-AND-POP RETAILERS OUT THERE,
JUST A MORE EFFICIENT WAY TO DO
BUSINESS.
IN MY HOUSE, NOW I LIVE IN
SHAKER IN THE SUBURBS, EVERY
MORNING, THERE IS LIKE A CARAVAN
OF FEDEX AND UPS AND U.S. MAIL.
AND THEY'RE EVEN DELIVERING
THINGS LIKE DRINKING WATER.
BOTTLED WATER AND GATORADE YOU
DON'T WANT TO SCHLEP FROM THE
STORE.
IT IS A NEW WORLD.
THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT.
HE ROILED THE MARKET WITH HIS
ANTI-AMAZON COMMENTS.
AMAZON WENT DOWN 100 POINTS.
INVESTORS LIKE ME DON'T LIKE
IMPULSIVE --
BRIAN: FACEBOOK, THEY'RE ALL
GOING AFTER EACH OTHER.
>> I LAMENT THE FACT IT AFFECTS
THEIR PERFORMANCE ON THE STOCK
MARKET AND WEALTH GETS
TRANSFERRED AND PEOPLE WITH
401(k)S ARE HURT.
I HAVE WARRANT PEOPLE TO BE
QUIET.
THE PRINCIPLE ONLINE RETAILERS
SHOULD PAY SALES TAX IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
PETE: IF ANYONE HAS THE ABILITY
TO WRITE A MEMOIR IT IS YOU.
BRIAN: YOU HAVE DONE ONE BEFORE
BUT THIS IS NOW?
>> THANK YOU.
AINSLEY: THIS IS US AT THE --
BRIAN: MORE THAN GERALDO RIVERA
AT FOX, RIGHT?
>> THIS IS ABOUT, THE ORIGINAL
BOOK, BRIAN WAS HOW ROGER AILES
HIRED ME TO GO TO WAR?
WHY?
I WAS AT CNBC, HIGHEST RATED
SHOW ON THE NETWORK WHEN THE
ATTACKS HAPPENED AT 9/11.
I URGED MY BOSSES AT NBC TO SEND
ME TO WAR.
I WAS SO ANGRY.
THERE WERE SIX DADS IN MY KIDS
GRADE SCHOOL WHO WERE KILLED IN
9/11.
THIS WAS PERSONAL TO A LOT OF US
IN NEW YORK.
MIDDLETON, NEW JERSEY, WHERE I
WAS LIVING, HIGHEST PER CAPITA
CASUALTY RATE FORFROM THE 9/11
ATTACKS.
NBC WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE MY
PLUM JOB.
IT WAS IMPORTANT.
I QUIT.
I GAVE UP A HUGE SALARY.
SEND ME TO WAR.
THE NEXT MONDAY I WAS IN
KHYBER PASS.
I WAS ON THE AIR WHEN HE WAS
FINALLY KILLED BY ROB O'NEILL
AND SEAL TEAM SIX.
I TELL THE ARC OF THAT STORY.
AS I WAS WRITING IT, EVERYTHING
BLEW UP SO TO SPEAK HERE IN FOX
AND AMERICAN SOCIETY WITH THE
SEX HARRASSMENT ALLEGATIONS AND
WE WERE ROILED AS A NETWORK, YOU
KNOW.
I TELL THAT STORY.
AND I TELL OF THE COMING OF THE
AGE OF TRUMP AND HOW DIFFICULT
IT IS FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME,
GENERALLY A PROGRESS I HAVE IS
PERSON, WHO IS DEAR FRIENDS WITH
THE PRESIDENT, AT LEAST I
CONSIDER MYSELF A DEAR FRIEND OF
THE PRESIDENT, WHOSE POLICIES I
SOMETIMES OPPOSE.
HOW THE PRESIDENT HAS DIVIDEED
MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES.
ERICA DOESN'T REALLY LIKE HIM,
MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, BECAUSE HIS
POLICIES ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND
MUSLIMS AND MEXICANS AND SO
FORTH.
I TEND TO TRY MY BEST IN FIND A
SILVER LINING IN ANYTHING HE
DOES, OR MOST OF WHAT HE DOES.
I TRY TO COUNSEL HIM TO BE MORE
MODERATE IN HIS POLICIES.
I WANT HIM TO BE A GREAT
PRESIDENT BECAUSE I THINK HE HAS
GREAT ABILITY.
THAT STRESS, TUG-OF-WAR IN MANY
AMERICAN FAMILIES.
ROSEANNE THE SHOW, REALLY I WILL
DOES STRAIGHTED THAT COULD HAVE
BEEN MY HOME.
ONE IS FOR THE PRESIDENT, ONE IS
AGAINST.
WE'LL WORK IT OUT.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS
POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT BUT I TELL
THE STORY HOW THE PRESIDENT'S
POLICIES HAVE DIVIDED MANY
AMERICAN FAMILIES, INCLUDING MY
OWN.
BRIAN: WE DO DISCUSS THAT.
IN THIS TOO YOU MENTION, DO YOU
MENTION US AT ALL?
THAT IS THE KEY.
I SAW A PICTURE OF AINSLEY.
>> THERE ARE SEVERAL PICTURES OF
ANSWER SY AND ONE TINY ONE OF
YOU IN THE CORNER AND YOU AND
MAJOR PETE.
AINSLEY SELLS BOOKS.
BRIAN SELLS BOOKS.
AINSLEY: LET ME LIVE UP TO MY
NAME THEN.
BUY HIS BOOK.
BUY HIS BOOK RIGHT NOW ON AMAZON
OR PARNES AND -- BARNES AND
NOBLE OR.
BRIAN: I LOVE THAT PICTURE.
>> TORA BORA.
WE WERE THERE ALONE FIRST THREE
DAYS OF THE EPIC BATTLE.
WE COULD HAVE CAPTURED USAMA BIN
LADEN AND ENDED WHOLE THING IN
COUPLE WEEKS.
BRIAN: I HEARD YOU ON HI WARD
STERN.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
PREORDER, BUT USE AMAZON WHO WE
DERIDED.
>> QUITE A LIFE.
QUITE A LIFE.
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
