RUSH TRANSCRIPT Harris That ░░░░░░░░ vice president Mike Pence ░░░░░░░░ within the past hour ░░░░░░░░ on the chief of ░░░░░░░░ John Kelly and then ░░░░░░░░ to be say that ░░░░░░░░ is looking forward to ░░░░░░░░ to work with him ░░░░░░░░ many months to come ░░░░░░░░ as the House Oversight ░░░░░░░░ has launched an investigation ░░░░░░░░ caught a lot of ░░░░░░░░ by surprise into the ░░░░░░░░ House s handling of ░░░░░░░░ abuse allegations against former ░░░░░░░░ rob porter He s ░░░░░░░░ He no longer works ░░░░░░░░ the White House The ░░░░░░░░ comes one day after ░░░░░░░░ from FBI director Christopher ░░░░░░░░ contradicted previous administration statements ░░░░░░░░ when they were briefed ░░░░░░░░ the allegations of abuse ░░░░░░░░ us is David Bernstein ░░░░░░░░ radio talk show host ░░░░░░░░ Fox News contributor and ░░░░░░░░ visits the overtime panel ░░░░░░░░ Tammy Bruce I m ░░░░░░░░ to start with you ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Harris A little ░░░░░░░░ of a surprise for ░░░░░░░░ to open this investigation ░░░░░░░░ the White House s ░░░░░░░░ of firing one of ░░░░░░░░ own staff That s ░░░░░░░░ we re hearing from ░░░░░░░░ Yeah well look there ░░░░░░░░ a little bit of ░░░░░░░░ contradiction We know what ░░░░░░░░ house said about what ░░░░░░░░ learned and when they ░░░░░░░░ it And it was ░░░░░░░░ and after the allegations ░░░░░░░░ broke But the FBI ░░░░░░░░ saying that they actually ░░░░░░░░ to the White House ░░░░░░░░ investigation but here s ░░░░░░░░ we don t know ░░░░░░░░ really don t know ░░░░░░░░ was in that report ░░░░░░░░ that becomes an issue ░░░░░░░░ s one thing to ░░░░░░░░ you briefed the White ░░░░░░░░ Buff the FBI isn ░░░░░░░░ saying specifically what was ░░░░░░░░ that report So I ░░░░░░░░ this investigation is interesting ░░░░░░░░ will have to deal ░░░░░░░░ what that report from ░░░░░░░░ FBI was And without ░░░░░░░░ you re just going ░░░░░░░░ be hearing Democrats of ░░░░░░░░ making up their own ░░░░░░░░ of what they want ░░░░░░░░ to be So I ░░░░░░░░ this could be helpful ░░░░░░░░ Republican congressman mark Walker ░░░░░░░░ me earlier in the ░░░░░░░░ and he was talking ░░░░░░░░ the specifics of what ░░░░░░░░ will be looking at ░░░░░░░░ know I m curious ░░░░░░░░ how Democrats will handle ░░░░░░░░ because you don t ░░░░░░░░ to jump the shark ░░░░░░░░ s probably best to ░░░░░░░░ Well if Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ about it They should ░░░░░░░░ the investigation play out ░░░░░░░░ you got someone like ░░░░░░░░ Gowdy in a day ░░░░░░░░ Is he very well ░░░░░░░░ I think on both ░░░░░░░░ of the political aisle ░░░░░░░░ certainly takes a lot ░░░░░░░░ this environment for Republicans ░░░░░░░░ open any kind you ░░░░░░░░ investigation into the White ░░░░░░░░ that isn t something ░░░░░░░░ have seen this entire ░░░░░░░░ so far So if ░░░░░░░░ were smart they would ░░░░░░░░ back and let it ░░░░░░░░ out Because it s ░░░░░░░░ that there are real ░░░░░░░░ here Right I mean ░░░░░░░░ Kelly has his own ░░░░░░░░ calling him a big ░░░░░░░░ liar Harris Wait a ░░░░░░░░ That becomes a problem ░░░░░░░░ I do want to ░░░░░░░░ in because I don ░░░░░░░░ think I hear these ░░░░░░░░ enough John Kelly did ░░░░░░░░ hire rob porter That ░░░░░░░░ right Harris Go He ░░░░░░░░ also a very loyal ░░░░░░░░ He s a man ░░░░░░░░ background as we know ░░░░░░░░ in the military I ░░░░░░░░ that he did not ░░░░░░░░ the entire story I ░░░░░░░░ think this was very ░░░░░░░░ screwed up This was ░░░░░░░░ handled well as we ░░░░░░░░ We are also dealing ░░░░░░░░ You mean communications wise ░░░░░░░░ wise They are running ░░░░░░░░ free world as well ░░░░░░░░ addition to having a ░░░░░░░░ of fire coming in ░░░░░░░░ I think you are ░░░░░░░░ at a framework where ░░░░░░░░ inclination is to defend ░░░░░░░░ member of staff At ░░░░░░░░ same time if they ░░░░░░░░ I believe they did ░░░░░░░░ have this is my ░░░░░░░░ with the FBI Because ░░░░░░░░ that initial reaction I ░░░░░░░░ they did not have ░░░░░░░░ complete information And I ░░░░░░░░ John Kelly as we ░░░░░░░░ seen has definitely smoothed ░░░░░░░░ the process in the ░░░░░░░░ House And there is ░░░░░░░░ lot of people who ░░░░░░░░ t like him for ░░░░░░░░ Scaramucci Lewandowski Harris Scaramucci ░░░░░░░░ that John Kelly should ░░░░░░░░ fired Of course he ░░░░░░░░ He is the one ░░░░░░░░ fired scaramucci So we ░░░░░░░░ to remember the politics ░░░░░░░░ aiming at John Kelly ░░░░░░░░ David when you look ░░░░░░░░ this and put on ░░░░░░░░ communications hat for a ░░░░░░░░ I know it s ░░░░░░░░ to take off that ░░░░░░░░ hat because it has ░░░░░░░░ chin strap on it ░░░░░░░░ you look at this ░░░░░░░░ are some of the ░░░░░░░░ you think are the ░░░░░░░░ aways that American people ░░░░░░░░ have on this I ░░░░░░░░ people have to look ░░░░░░░░ the facts right Which ░░░░░░░░ we know that now ░░░░░░░░ is a series of ░░░░░░░░ credible allegations against this ░░░░░░░░ And no one no ░░░░░░░░ wants to be defending ░░░░░░░░ a position the White ░░░░░░░░ is of defending an ░░░░░░░░ wife abuser I mean ░░░░░░░░ is not good optics ░░░░░░░░ anybody Someone who has ░░░░░░░░ photo of a woman ░░░░░░░░ he was married to ░░░░░░░░ a black eye And ░░░░░░░░ he says it s ░░░░░░░░ accident I mean this ░░░░░░░░ if this were a ░░░░░░░░ corporation in America and ░░░░░░░░ Kelly were the CEO ░░░░░░░░ would be fired and ░░░░░░░░ all know that There ░░░░░░░░ universal understanding that John ░░░░░░░░ is a decent guy ░░░░░░░░ his change he did ░░░░░░░░ his statement once the ░░░░░░░░ came out and it ░░░░░░░░ apparent what it was ░░░░░░░░ were dealing with And ░░░░░░░░ we have to remember ░░░░░░░░ the politics involved here ░░░░░░░░ fact that John Kelly ░░░░░░░░ been doing a good ░░░░░░░░ keeping that White House ░░░░░░░░ and there is a ░░░░░░░░ of people who want ░░░░░░░░ see that end And ░░░░░░░░ is I think possibly ░░░░░░░░ the vice president s ░░░░░░░░ today indicated that they ░░░░░░░░ standing behind him Harris ░░░░░░░░ you a radio show ░░░░░░░░ day I would imagine ░░░░░░░░ your callers are talking ░░░░░░░░ so many other things ░░░░░░░░ see it in social ░░░░░░░░ Right Harris The importance ░░░░░░░░ getting this right and ░░░░░░░░ on in day eight ░░░░░░░░ this story Well I ░░░░░░░░ that the media will ░░░░░░░░ it as long as ░░░░░░░░ want to make it ░░░░░░░░ Some in the media ░░░░░░░░ Some in the media ░░░░░░░░ This is an important ░░░░░░░░ in the sense of ░░░░░░░░ attitude of people in ░░░░░░░░ White House The clarity ░░░░░░░░ how things are being ░░░░░░░░ Seriousness of this issue ░░░░░░░░ who is being allowed ░░░░░░░░ and who isn t ░░░░░░░░ the issue of domestic ░░░░░░░░ This is why the ░░░░░░░░ the investigation in the ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ But I do think ░░░░░░░░ the communications office which ░░░░░░░░ primarily women have a ░░░░░░░░ job on their hands ░░░░░░░░ his girlfriend That s ░░░░░░░░ other issue when you ░░░░░░░░ involved in this way ░░░░░░░░ in the White House ░░░░░░░░ you want to date ░░░░░░░░ one of you has ░░░░░░░░ leave the environment That ░░░░░░░░ a big problem This ░░░░░░░░ about the future of ░░░░░░░░ country People s lives ░░░░░░░░ this we find can ░░░░░░░░ a problem But I ░░░░░░░░ think that the White ░░░░░░░░ communications office needs to ░░░░░░░░ very aggressive here The ░░░░░░░░ has made it clear ░░░░░░░░ he stands And I ░░░░░░░░ think that while we ░░░░░░░░ would have put it ░░░░░░░░ everyone understands this is ░░░░░░░░ serious issue and we ░░░░░░░░ need to move on ░░░░░░░░ this point Harris He ░░░░░░░░ gone He is gone ░░░░░░░░ there are two things ░░░░░░░░ are looking for One ░░░░░░░░ for somebody to come ░░░░░░░░ and say you know ░░░░░░░░ really messed this up ░░░░░░░░ we re going Harris ░░░░░░░░ already said there were ░░░░░░░░ made Raj Shaw at ░░░░░░░░ White House said that ░░░░░░░░ to say I support ░░░░░░░░ m not in favor ░░░░░░░░ wife abusers He hasn ░░░░░░░░ quite said it he ░░░░░░░░ a statement to his ░░░░░░░░ very different thing from ░░░░░░░░ communications perspective.
