carter continued to say no. and then in october, only in october was it disclosed by david rockefeller that the shah had cancer and had been treated for five years. his own family did not know it. that changed the equation. vice president mondale, who had been against it, said, we can't let someone dying of cancer stay out of the u.s. the president, even then, one of the state department doctors to give an opinion. can he be treated elsewhere? two doctors said, probably not. it turns out he could easily have been treated in mexico by u.s. trained doctors. that was the precipitating factor. as carter said at the beginning, when all the others said, we have to admit him, carter said, what are you going to ask me to do if they storm the embassy again as they did in february, but this time they don't leave and they take our diplomats as hostages? >> we will hear from present carter 1980 at his state of the union address in a moment. president carter in 1980 at his state of the union address in the moment. but first

>> president carter and very smart man president carter, very smart men. he foresaw what was going to happen. our chief had warned him this would have serious consequences, including the loss of the embassy. somewhere around october 20, when they made the decision to admit him for medical treatment, we were essentially informed. the message to us was you are expendable. you are out there. good luck. do the best you can. why not have us come back? that is a good question. when i used to teach at the naval academy, my students would ask exactly that same question. it seemed so obvious to them. i have asked people within the administration. as i can piece events together, it was never discussed. perhaps the reason was cold war calculations. it sounds strange saying this now, but iran was a piece in the cold war game with the soviets. the centerpiece of our policy since the 1940's was to keep the soviets out of iran. the 1953 coup that was just mentioned was justified in washington as an anti-communist step that would not be able to resist communist influence.

marking the final year of the carter presidency an issue that consumed the president carter and reshaped the foreign policy. for the next hour and a half, we look back at the events as they infolded on november the 4th, 1979. and from a canadian documentary this look at how it all happened 40 years ago. >> just before 11:00 a.m., the attack began. they were over the walls and soon the chain on the main gate was cut. this was filmed by a student. here showing the area being overrun. the motor pool was behind the main gate to the embassy compound. to their right was the chancellory. the operational hub of the embassy that housed the sensitive communications systems. the heavy front doors of the chancellory had been bolted shut. inside were 45 americans and plus iranian staff and some visitors. the marine guards inside fired tear gas to buy time. when it was realized help wasn't coming, one of the chancellory security officers went outside to try to persuade the students to leave. he was immediately captured. the besieged staff retreated floor by floor. one american, john limbert, who spoke

three people named in the dossier as having talked to carter page, believed to be foreign agents, carter page, while being wired unknown to him, said i don't know these two people. and to this day, there's no proof that he met the two people he denies meeting. and that was one of the reasons they classified him as a foreign agent. the third contact was with a person known to be a foreign agent and he told the cia about the contact because he was their source. why is it important that they lied to the court? if the court had known that he had a reason to be talking to this person, it would have been completely different. that's why mr. klein smith lied because if that fact ever got confi confirmed, it would change the entire predicate they set up to the court as to whether or not carter page was a foreign agent. you cannot surveil somebody unless you have proof, therefore, an agent. so wednesday we're going to have a hearing and we're going to get the good, the bad, anded ugly. we're going to try to find a way to make sure this never happens again. here's what i hope people in your busine

just put yourself in carter page's position. whatever you think about carter page, i don't think he's james bond. they put this guy through hell. there are other people that probably spent thousands of dollars on legal fees at a time when i think the investigation should have stopped. thank you, all very much. see you wednesday.

>> if carter had not -- excuse me, if carter had not admitted that the shah -- what do you think events might have -- been? >> good question. i think american-iranian relations were headed to a black hole sooner or later. qaa mainy as suzanne pointed out was determined to take charge of the train and bring about the kind of regime that he wanted and that was almost certainly going to lead to problems with us, but it's conceivable, it could have gone in other ways. remember back in 1979 even for many years after ward, one of the leading proponents between the united states and iran was the government of israel which seemed to have a faith in this in retrospect staggers belief. we wouldn't have had that problem, and a third party in this relationship wanting to throw the train off course. i do have to go become to the argo question for just one minute. there is one part of the argo movie that is totally false and that's the last scene. there was no chase. that was the beauty of the whole operation. i'm sure it was heart-pounding and terrorizing to walk into that airport and get the ticket

reaction fox news contributor, carter, jim, sara carter and dan bongino. it was in the prompter, you know, i'm just reading the stupid thing which i never like to read anyway. >> it's okay, i don't mind being ari fleischer. >> sean: okay, from the very beginning that we talked about and peeling the layers of an onion. now we got to the point where all of it turned out to be true. create meditative fraud with the fisa warrant and worse than we thought. on one hand we had christopher steele. i don't know if any of it is true. sourcing, this was like bartok. we never met any of it and i never thought it would be used in a report. that was the basic for all of this? >> right and they don't expect anyone to question them. john, look at this. we have statements coming up from john brennan who, by the way, is implicated as well in the ig report because of the intelligence assessment where he told congress that no, we didn't attach the steele dossier, which is completely debunked, which was never verified to the intelligence assessment on russia. what do we find o

carter writes in the margin, not yet. carter made some handwritten notes at the end. he says be extremely cautious b about u.s. action for now. but assess options within cia. let them give me analysis of all elements. this is extreme. they were considering all kinds of things freezing assets. all kind of things were being considered. it's interesting that it was on the table. as a symbol of iranian concern for these minority groups. in january 27th, a famous canadian caper happened, the b subject of the argo film and there are some documents about that that have been released by the cia. april 7, takes a few months, the u.s. finally breaks off relations with iran and just a little over two weeks later, mounts the doomed operation eagle claw, which ends in disaster. we have other things, the classifieded hol wii way report which examines that operation. this is one of the them. the conclusion was that we needed to ramp up our special ops capcapabilities. july 27th, the shah dies in egypt, which is important here because it effectively removes one of the key because it

three people named in the dosier as having talked to carter page, believed to be foreign agents, carter page, unknown to him, said i don't know those two people. and to this day, he denies meeting and one of the reasons they classified as a foreign agent. the third contact was a third person and he told the c.i.a. about the contact because he was their source. why is it important that they lied to the court, that the court had known that he had reason to be talking to this person, it would have been completely different. that's why there was a lie because the fact never got confirmed and would change the entire predicate to the court as to whether or not carter page was ar foreign agent. you cannot surveil. wednesday, we will have a wearing and we will get the good, bad and ugly and find a y this never makes sure this doesn't happen again. read the entire report. not focus on whether or not there was a legal predicate. i'm here to tell you that doesn't drive my thinking. there was a legal foundation. but what i will not tolerate is how it got off the rails and the department of justice

he had carter's address. so, wee hours of saturday morning, he drove over there and what do you know? >> i saw a black infiniti backed in, right in front of their apartment. >> reporter: but he didn't knock on her door. >> i was going to go ahead and basically sit here and watch the vehicle to see if it moved. >> reporter: for more than four hours, he sat in his car, cold but patient. then about 8:00 a.m. saturday morning, he saw the lights of the infiniti flash as if someone was unlocking it remotely. >> i see the male enter the driver's seat of the vehicle. i then see a female enter the passenger side of the black infiniti. >> reporter: they drove off. the detective followed. and after a few minutes the infiniti pulled into, of all places, the hulen mall. there they are. they're going back to the place where ashlea worked, where the american eagle was. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: but what would they be doing there? >> well, that was the -- that was the million dollar question. >> reporter: coming up -- >> i a

and jimmy carter is a methodical thinker. and in a good sense he goes through every plausible avenue of possibility to release the hostages peacefully. there is economic sanctions placed and of course playing a vital role in donald trump's considerations later. we use the u.n., every ali we have. around they're all onboard, the u.n. is on brody, nature oallies on borja, regional allies onboard. none of it works. all along, the military has been planning for alternative scenarios. but, gosh what is it? five months go on. yeah, five months go on before carter finally says, well, we have now ticked through every possible point of pressure. and none are working. gentlemen, is there anything else we can do? and the pink steps up and says, yes, sir, we have been practicing. we have a plan. and the plan is to take a few helicopters, fly them in, having already placed personnel -- some of this still secret. we don't know to this day every detail. but people have been placed securely near the embassy grounds to facility the release. b

and just be yourself and carter pages position. whatever you think about carter page, i don't think he's james bond. they put the sky through hell. and there are other people that probably spent thousands of dollars on legal fees, i think at a time when the investigation should have stopped. thank you all very much see you wednesday.

carter -- he's that kind of mind. he kind of step by step moved through the process to resolve this issue. what he didn't realize was that there was factions in iran that did not want to resolve this issue. that this crisis was good for the iranian factions wanting to create an islamic state. they wanted to maintain a crisis with the united states. you've got an american government trying to resolve an unpleasant diplomatic problem and factions in iran who want to foster and inflame this crisis to gain legitimacy for the islamic faction we're trying to really see total control by that time. two negotiating partners who have very different interests. in terms of the takeover of the u.s. embassy, religion had always been an factor. there was a strong sense many of those protesting outside the embassy -- remember, it doesn't happen in one day. it takes place over time. there were strong islamic presence in those protests. again, big faction of the revolutionary movement are students and islamists of all kinds, older folk

is carter up to the task? >> i think about carter coming up, a guy from south georgia, a nuclear engineer, an officer. he came out of nowhere and is coming into the office. i think part of it was maybe there is a freshness. this baptist guy from south georgia that could bring something fresh and new. historically, these are in the form of books. this is written material he will sit down and go through. lyndon johnson did not read books. some presidents read books, others don't. some write letters to their mothers, others have their aides do it. it looks to me there is a freshness to it. and we might not go back to having all of these things in one place again. there is one democratic candidate who had plans of that. it is an incredibly difficult job when we think back at the cartoons with lbj and how much time it took and how you had to be an expert in so many different things or have experts in your white house providing you a foundation in the domestics sphere and in policy. but now we do not think about the

jimmy carter survived one term. there was a wide sense among scholars of the presidency at this time that the office has just become too big for any individual to fulfill it. and then as chester pointed out, 1981 turned out to be an extraordinary year of presidential leadership. and since then we have only had one president who didn't serve a full two terms, at least so far. and so reagan, i think, managed to confound the pessimists of all kinds with the presidency that followed. >> i find this one haunting. in a good way. like charles dickens a christmas carol. subtle and pfuhl. i think it was hard for cartoonists to caricature of ronald reagan. but it was a simple view of the world breck are broken down to good guys and bad guys. and in his central american, latin american policies this was something manifested in support for a lot of unsavory characters who engaged in human rights abuses against leftist insurgents or leftists regimes. and i just want to say, you know, this is -- this one moves me personally. >> t

>> it found that the fisa application which is the application to surveilled carter page was riddled with errors, things from they left our key information. in other things they put in the fisa report and they left that out, they did not present that to the judge of the fisa court. there were all kinds of errors erand they found for one of the renewals and fbi lawyer had doctored evidence to make sure that the fisa application to wiretap mr. page got renewed. >> so all in count, according to your story 17 inaccuracies or envisions, was there any explanation by leadership on why the fundamental mistakes are being made? >> no there's no explanation, nor is there anti explanation of inspector general michael horowitz who spent 18 months on this investigation and he says he could find no direct evidence of biased but also could not find an explanation here to account for why these top agents, high-level fbi officials, everybody in the specification from low-level to high level supervisors could make this many mistakes at this level of serious mistakes. that is very concerning and he even

op-ed by law professor jonathan turley, an apology to carter page. details the reckless, nonstop smear of a private citizen all because of comey's fraudulent fisa application. let's not forget about lieutenant general michael flynn. how can we forget what comey did to a 33 year veteran? is a part of comey's receipt will investigation into all things drum, what did he do? he breaks. remember, first, andrew mccabe, saying you don't need a lawyer. but he brags, james comey brags, he sets up an american war hero. i would never do this or try this i in a bush or obama years. i wouldn't even dare do that. watch this. >> you look at this white house now, try to imagine two fbi agents in the same room. how does that happen? >> i sent them. something i probably would not have done, gotten away with in a more organized investigation. more organized administration, and the george w. bush administration, for example, in the obama administration. in both those administrations, there was process. if the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to inte

nothing about carter page. nothing about papadopolous, nothing about the other people that they thought might be working with the russians. why did they not tell him that? i hope you can give us an answer. bottom line, counterintelligence investigation is a good thing until it becomes a bad thing. because it doesn't take much to open one. the worst thing that can happen is for people to open one up whose best interest is not to protect an american but investigate one. senator feinstein, a long-time employee was suspected of having ties to a foreign government. they informed her and she took appropriate action. how easy would it be for somebody to come in our campaigns as a volunteer, we really don't know who they are. you appreciate any help you can get. how easy it would be for all of us to get caught up in this scenario? i hope all of us would appreciate if you really believe there's somebody in my campaign working with a foreign power, please tell me. so i can do something about it. why didn't they tell trum

why did you use that for the fisa court for carter page? no one used it but you lead with it, bulk of the fisa application deals with the dossier. why? >> that is not my recollection, brett. i don't know if the fisa application was released. my recollection was it was part of mosaic facts that were laid before the fisa judge to obtain a fisa warrant. >> there was a lot more than the dossier and fisa application? >> meant additional material about page and why an age in a foreign power. and the dossier was part of that, but was not a lipid or a critical part of it to my recollection. >> sean: a critical part, basically it was everything. another lie. the inspector general finding the dirty dossier was that the central and east central -- essential piece of the fisa application. just like any liar, he comey cannot come to truth. >> you don't see a difference of a broader mosaic and played an essential role in establishing probable cause? >> it was one of a bunch of different facts that resembled and applied to the court. it was the one that c

they were two enslaved people of robert king carter. king carter as his nickname of king perhaps suggests, was one of the most wealthy and powerful planters in colonial virginia and king carter represents the development of the virginia colony from what was first a fledgling outpost of the british empire to what became over the course of the colonial period, a gem in the crown of the british empire. one of the most politically and economically powerful colonies in the british empire and that evolution transpired by through two interrelated developments. the development of tobacco cultivation. it became the primary cash crop of virginia and also the development of slavery. tobacco was a labbe intensive crop. it required a lot of laborers and planters. in virginia in the 17th century were using white indentured servants. over the course of time, they realized it was more profit bable bable to them to use enslaved black laborers. that's how we had the development of slavery in virginia and it was a system that eventually spread throughout

why did you use that to the pfizer core task force surveillance for carter page? not only use it but you lead with it. the bulk of that deals with that dossier. >> that's not my recollection, and i don't know the pfizer application has been released. my recollection is was part of a broader collection of facts. >> there was a lot more? >> my recollection was there was a significant amount of additional material and why he was cause to believe he was the agent of a foreign power. the dossier was part of that but was not all of it or a critical part of it. that's my recollection. >> sean: that's the little baby part. and it made up the bulk of information. we told you that a lot. the pfizer applications against carter page, the bulk of the first warrant and all the subsequent renewals. the three renewals. speaking of which, april of 2018, comey issued yet another blatant lie. for all of you in the mob who who shows you go on, if you love law enforcement, if you love our brave fbi men and women that serve this country and protect all of us, you owe it to them, never

government agency detailing its prior relationship with paige, with carter paige, including the carter paimg had been approved as an operational contact for that other agency from 2008 to 2013, that paige had provided information to the other agency, concerning his prior contacts with certain russian intelligence officers, and that an employee of that other agency assessed that carter paige had been candid with them. the fbi never followed up on that information. as a result of these seven significant inaccuracies and omissions, relevant information was not shared with and consequently considered by department lawyers and the fisa court. and the fisa applications made it appear as though the evidence supporting probable cause was stronger than was actually the case. we also found basic if you wouldal and serious errors during the completion of the fbi agent race reviews, known as the woods procedures, which are designed to assure fisa applications contain a full and accurate presentation of the facts. department lawyers and the court should have ben given complete and accurate informat

guest: it found the fisa application to surveilled carter page was riddled with errors, keygs from they left out information, they had information that contradicted other things they put in the report and they left that out, they did not present that to the judges. there were all kinds of errors and they found for one of the renewals, and fbi lawyer had doctored evidence to make sure wiretap mr.ion to page got renewed. ort: 17 inaccuracies admissions, was their explanation from leadership on why these mistakes were being made? guest: there is no explanation nor is there an explanation from michael horowitz who spent 18 months on this investigation and he says he could find no direct evidence of bias, but also could not find another explanation to account for why these top agents, these high-level fbi officials, everybody in this investigation could make this many mistakes and this level of serious mistakes and that is very concerning and he even points out you have three handpicked teens of the top agents reporting to some of the highest level supervisors in an investigation, they know

carter page's life was destroyed worst of all and this is what we learned today, the fbi knew exactly what was happening and they kept doing it. the fisa warrant against paige, the one that allowed them to spy on him, had to be redone multiple times. according to the ig report, the fbi repeatedly lied and excluded cometary information to keep that speed 26 warrant alive showing that the document was unreliable, they continue to treat page as criminal and steele as a trusted source for the usual, half-wits, and partisans continue to accuse page of something he never committed. >> conspiring with russia in ways that were nefarious. >> overwhelming evidence to have probable cause. it would be a direction of duty to not have sought a surveillance warrant. >> makes a compelling case that there is probable cause to believe that carter page is acting in a foreign power. >> tucker: imagine if that was you, somebody on television every day in fact accusing you of treason and congressmen and tv reports all nodded in agreement -- that sounds right. the fbi knew you didn't do it, but instead lift

the other federal agencies had carter page was a helpful asset to them. he doctored that evidence to make it seem like the opposite was the case.as >> tucker: let me ask you to pause there and asked the obvious, why is not that fbi lawyer in prison? >> that fbi lawyer was one of the only people who was ever referred to any kind of accountability. that's one of the things that's frustrating. o this ig outlines hundreds of example of bad behavior from people who are engaged in this campaign to target the trump campaign. not many people will be held accountable by the inspector general. it's interesting to note -- >> tucker: meanwhile roger stone spending life in prison for not remember and who he spoke to earlier that day. >> all of these behaviors by other members of the department of justice, all of the did show political bias or they show political bias the other way, the federal prosecutor looking into this, just agreed some parts of the ig report in ways that it's even worse. disagree that the flimsy predicate used to start the investigation was suffic

carter page was treated unfairly most significantly by his name being made public. his united states citizen and it never should have been made public and that's an outrage but that statement is just a continuation of the lies of the fbi. the fbi is an honest, a political organization. remember the treason, remember the spine, all of us going to jail, it was false information that your viewers and millions of others were given. my own mother-in-law was worried i was going to jail. i kept telling her it's all made up, it's all made up, don't worry about it but i couldn't say that publicly for two years. now i'm singing on behalf of the fbi, it was all made up and i hope people will stare at that and learn about what the fbi is like, human and flawed, but deeply committed to trying to do the right thing. >> chris: director comey, people are going to have their reaction to what you said, but thank you for coming in, thank you for taking all our questions. >> director comey: thanks for having me. >> chris: up next we will discuss white house plans for defending the pres

carter page was a trump campaign official in 2016. there was a fisa warrant issued with three renewals on carter page that he was never charged. also, the report shows, and we have some graphics made, top fbi officials james comey and andrew mccabe who were at the fbi at the time did not act with political bias. the investigation was properly predicated but there are several of missions and inaccuracies in the phis application. there are 17 significant errors of omission in the carter page phis application. there was an audit today and this is significant, by the department of justice inspector general to look into the future fisa processes to prevent future errors that we have seen today and there are some errors. the fbi did rely on that steele dossier with salacious information about now president trump for the carter page application but did not press christopher steele the man behind the dossier for his funding source. a low level fbi attorney took part of an email from another government official and put it into an email used fo

carter. you and i worked together in different cities on the same projects trying to help patients out. here we are gathered in congress now for the same purpose. i thought i might talk about alzheimer's disease. it's hard to imagine, five million americans have aleimer's. there's probably not a person watching that doesn't have a loved one suffering, watching them go through the stages of alzheimer's. five million americans. in three decades we'll have 13 million americans with alzheimer's. for the sake of humanity we need a drug to cure this. you and i both know thate're truly this close. there are medications in the pipeline that will help eat alzheimer's. the economic impact of this also on our countrys extraordinary. mr. marshall: we're spending about $300 million a year treating alzheimer's patients, it will be over $300 trillion in a few years. a drug to cure this would save the country trillions of dollars. when i go back home people ask me a couple of things. they want us to lower th

why did you use that to the fisa to ask for surveillance for carter page? not only use it but you lead with it. l the bulk of that deals with that dossier. >> that's not my recollection, and i don't know the fisa application has been released. is was part of a broadery collection of facts. later before the fisa judge to obtain a fisa warrant. >> there was a lot more? >> my recollection was there was aa significant amount of additional material and why he was cause to believe he was the agent of a foreign power. the dossier was part of that but was not all of it or a critical part of it. that'ser my recollection. >> sean: that's the little baby part. wrong again by because according to the ig report, it was hillary clinton's bought and paid for. it was central. and it made up the bulk of information. we told you that a lot. the fisa applications against carter page, the bulk of the first warrant and all the subsequent renewals. the three renewals. speaking of which, april ofhe 2018, comey issued yet another blatant lie. for all of you in the mob who who show
