...Even Cuomo was taken off guard by Mudd’s remarks about declining to "get" U.S. nationals in Afghanistan. “Did I just hear you right?” asked Cuomo. “Did you say that if you were the State Department, you wouldn't make preparations and plans to get Americans that right now can't get to the air base? Mudd said, “I wouldn't offer them safe travel. Look, the comment I heard from the U.S. government is, you have safe travel … to the airport. The other comment was, we can't assure that. What that means to me is, the U.S. government has some kind of...

Roger Mudd, the longtime political correspondent and anchor for NBC and CBS who once stumped Sen. Edward Kennedy by simply asking why he wanted to be president, has died. He was 93. CBS News says Mudd died Tuesday of complications of kidney failure at his home in McLean, Virginia. During more than 30 years on network television, starting with CBS in 1961, Mudd covered Congress, elections and political conventions and was a frequent anchor and contributor to various specials. His career coincided with the flowering of television news, the pre-cable, pre-Internet days when the big three networks and their powerhouse...

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained 323 pages of emails between former FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page showing Comey’s FBI was investigating President Trump over his critical tweets of Barack Obama and the FBI. The FBI is purposely slow-rolling its production of emails to Judicial Watch and only processing 500 pages per month in response to a 2017 FOIA lawsuit. Judicial Watch obtained a March 2017 email Peter Strzok sent his boss Bill Priestap and others about probing President Trump’s tweets about being wiretapped by the FBI. Judicial Watch reported:

CNN has suspended conservative pundit Paris Dennard amid revelations that in 2014 he was fired from Arizona State University for allegedly making sexually explicit comments and gestures toward women. Dennard, according to the Washington Post, told a recent college graduate who worked for him that he wanted to have sexual intercourse with her while touching her “neck with his tongue” during an event. A 2014 report by the university alleged that he “pretended to unzip his pants in her presence, tried to get her to sit on his lap, and made masturbatory gestures” when he worked at ASU’s McCain Institute...

President Trump on Monday suggested he may pull the security clearance of former FBI official Phil Mudd after Mudd appeared on a heated CNN segment over the weekend to push back against the president's revocation of clearances from other members of the intelligence community Trump tweeted that he watched Mudd "become totally unglued and weird" during a debate with CNN analyst Paris Dennard on the president's decision to revoke ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance. "Mudd is in no mental condition to have such a Clearance," Trump said. "Should be REVOKED?" Trump tagged Fox News host Sean Hannity in the...

CNN analyst and former CIA intelligence official Philip Mudd wondered aloud Monday when a shadow government will emerge to oppose President Donald Trump following a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

Can anybody remember a time in the past year when CNN's counterterrorism analyst Philip Mudd did not become completely unhinged? When he isn't hurling racial epithets around he has threatened harm upon President Donald Trump. In his latest madman incarnation, Mudd shocked even the CNN Newsroom host John Berman on Thursday morning by snapping that Trump is a "dirtbag." While watching the following video, just note the absolutely hate that seems to pour out of not only Mudd's snarling mouth but also his eyes, the very windows to a seemingly twisted soul:

In August ex-FBI/CIA Officer and Mueller protoge Phil Mudd observed President's Trump's failure to defend the CIA in the face of election meddling by Vladimir Putin, predicting: "The US government will kill [Donald Trump]'". More recently, Phil Mudd expressed his outrage over President Trump's reported use of a slur to describe countries accounting for an outsized share of post 1963 immigration: "A white honky from Norway can come here, but a black dude from Haiti can't. What does that tell you about America that one generation can call you a n*gger, Don Lemon..?" Apparently Mr. Mudd and CNN do not...

RUSH: I get this note: “Hey, Rush, it’s not the Russia thing. That’s been debunked. It’s now just the get-Trump thing.” Well, the Russia thing has not been debunked. It may be to you and me. Remember last week, ladies and gentlemen, I shared with you this epic piece in The Nation magazine? It was written by Patrick Lawrence. Leftist. And I guarantee you reading this thing just itself was a chore just by virtue of the way the man uses the English language. But he hired an investigative team of forensics to actually look at all the evidence, the...

President Barack Obama's pick to be the top intelligence chief at the Homeland Security Department withdrew from consideration Friday after questions were raised about his role in the CIA's interrogations of terrorism suspects. Philip Mudd was scheduled next week to face senators considering his nomination as undersecretary of intelligence and analysis at Homeland Security. He notified the White House on Friday that he was withdrawing his name because he did not want to be a distraction. *snip* On Thursday, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Mudd's ties to the program would be investigated...

Philip Mudd, former counterterror expert for the CIA and the FBI -- "I would charge these guys as murders not terrorists," Mudd said of the suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon. -- "What I fear though is that people too quickly categorize this as terrorism," Mudd added. "This looks more to me like Columbine than it does like Al Qaeda." -- "Two kids who radicalized between themselves in a closed circle and go out and commit murder," Mudd observed. "I would charge these guys as murderers, not terrorists."

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Al Jazeera is reporting that American and Israeli flags are being burned in London. Israeli and US flags being burned in London according to Al Jazeera. We know that the University of Texas has evacuated their campus after a phoned-in bomb threat from Al-Qaeda. No bombs were found. Fargo, North Dakota, state university has ordered all employees and students off campus after receiving a bomb threat. But everything's okay because I got an e-mail from the Obama campaign. Ambassadors are being murdered, former SEALs are dying, embassies are burning across the Middle East, but don't worry, we...

In a strange sequel to one of the most dramatic confrontations in modern political journalism, Sen. Edward Kennedy accuses former CBS newsman Roger Mudd of blindsiding him during the famous 1979 television special that featured the Massachusetts senator stammering on camera just days before launching his ill-fated presidential campaign. Kennedy said he agreed to be interviewed by Mudd as a personal favor to help him in the competition to succeed Walter Cronkite. He accuses Mudd of misrepresenting what he was going to ask him and blindsiding him with personal questions. Mudd told POLITICO that Kennedy’s description of the circumstances surrounding...

The head of the Homeland Security agency responsible for a controversial report that suggested veterans were being recruited to commit terrorist acts in the U.S. is being replaced by a former FBI and CIA official. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced in a statement late Thursday afternoon that the White House intends to nominate Phillip Mudd as undersecretary for Intelligence and Analysis. Mr. Mudd is a 24-year career FBI official, who currently serves as the associate executive assistant director of the Bureau's national security branch. He replaces Roger Mackin, who was appointed to the post in September by then-Secretary Michael...

AP: FBI Investigating Fannie, Freddie, Lehman & AIG

How Democrat Thieves Looted Fannie Mae and Freddie MacSeptember 18, 2008 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The McCain camp is accusing Obama of cheering on this discord on Wall Street, cheering on the financial mess, trying to actually make it worse, trying to make people feel more upset -- of course, what's hard to understand about that? They want you suffering; they want you in panic; they want you hurting, ladies and gentlemen. That's the nature of liberalism. And they asked Obama, "What do you think about the AIG bailout?" He didn't have a word to say? He had nothing to say...

" .. Dan Mudd, the CEO of Fannie Mae, is getting $9.3 million of severance for destroying his company. Richard Syron, the CEO of Freddie Mac, is getting $14.1 million .." "But the severance money comes right out of the pockets of taxpayers, who didn't agree to the severance deals and aren't ponying up to save the companies because they want to. Taxpayers are saving Fannie and Freddie because they have to--because Mudd and Syron were incompetent. 'Incompetent'? Is that too harsh? Absolutely not. Both men gambled big and lost bigger. The fact that they may not have appreciated how...

Daniel Mudd, chief executive of mortgage lender Fannie Mae, told CNBC that the housing slump won't hit bottom for another year and that the current credit crunch will spread “all across the housing market.” In an interview, Mudd said Fannie Mae is seeking regulatory approval to increase its lending limits in order to put more liquidity back in the mortgage market, which has been hurt by growing subprime lending troubles and tightening credit. “We’re ready to start investing now,” Mudd said. A lot of "people and institutions in the middle of the system" could benefit from the increased liquidity, he...

It ran on the 12th of August in mid-afternoon. The program detailed the history of the Ku Klux Klan in every respect but one. This one manipulation tells you the purpose of those running the History Channel, and clearly proves the oft-made charge that said location on the television spectrum is when needed nothing more than a propaganda tool for the modern Democrat Party of America. When it is repeated, watch Ku Klux Klan: A Secret History with the following point in mind. During the first half listen for the political affiliations of Klan members in the North. In Indiana,...
