this episode of the young turks is brought to you by netflix good netflix icons like
you like the for wars pre trial membership
member shirley chirag p
agriculture
leo bala agriculture employees
who was
wildly incorrectly outed
for what she didn't say
for misrepresenting what she said in front of the n_ double a_c_p_
so let's go back to july
left the story let's go back to july of this year just back to july this year and megan
kelly
who was uh... host of fox show which is also one of their legal and she's on the o'reilly
factor with bill o'reilly
bill o'reilly wants to know
again four years after this obvious violation of the hatch act
by karl rove and the bush administration
bill o'reilly onestat ask megan kelly
whether it's possible that this
fairly insignificant my apologies to shirley shira whether this fairly insignificant agriculture
department employees
truly chirac
violated the hatch act
with her speech
in front of the n_ double a_c_p_ so here's bill o'reilly first introducing megan kelly
and setting it up
by playing a little clip of a short leash rogers bill o'reilly back in july in flash
an addition to exposition i raise surely sure i've made some political comments of the n_
double a_c_p_ audience
says he
stadium
you
fishes here
dont
cages
here
well it seems to be very clear that surely should not trying to raise money for democratic
candidates
so that's obviously to be appointed bill o'reilly takes
we can see that coming so the next thing he does is brings on uh... fox
legal analyst
and incredibly good-looking legal analyst
now the hatch act prohibits federal employees from politicking while on the job so did you
sure i violate the act here now attorney
boxes sentimentality senior the l_a_ on america live in u
so let's say you
so they got
bill o'reilly has brought in megane kelly's explain the hatch act so well on the job and
federal employees sort of
use their federal status
to look to raise money and solicit and work four candidates for office obviously he's
got a fox
uh... he's got the one o'clock host on fox
america live or wherever is they call that prick and show and he's not making kelly she's
an attorney on any asks her megane what say you obviously sheet on fox win over it
so we'll see you
as saying out
but hell just happened
i can't possibly be what i just uh...
uh... but yet they do we get there on
are excel here the rest of us the rest of mentally hats at basically prohibits federal
employees from
uh... engaging in political activity while on duty
so what she ended a year now she was an n_ double a_c_p_ of atlantic we've let me stop
you why was she invited to that that echoes that matter you have to be acting in your
official capacity doing your official job duties supposedly supposed to be doing absolutely
not kidding though is that narrowly drawn it's very narrowly john hats acting really
prohibits only the most egregious cases what they're trying to get at is stopping someone
from using the power of the federal government to pressure other employees are others indeed
donating to a political candidate i think there are getting like the unions to
total rally with the unions do
the unions
who aren't the federal government
megan kelly won't be touched using the political power of the federal government to pressure
other federal employees to donate money to political candidates
that's that yet
that's exactly what called road it and the opposite political affairs that's precisely
what they did that's precisely with the office of special counsel is back on the picket
exactly what's happened the bill o'reilly of course now even though that story have
long been out he will bring that up but he mentions the unions
it's painful it's painful and of course but megan kelly dub lesser she's unmoved by anything
but bill o'reilly of course he'll keep going
we'll keep tryin
but never in the lean years
really mention the name
i bet if you went back to the bush administration if i a lot of people
who would say that's what i asked lauren and i mean you know the is that uh... disqualification
will you go back home and to have a lot of this country just because you could become
a government official it doesn't mean you sacrifice your first memorex you're allowed
to have along its military four o'clock
so elated that just at the end of that bill o'reilly gets a little big suggesting the
federal plays all ghetto
at four o'clock
birth okay to do it for third
uh... alright so anyway that of course the justice department as saying that uh... by
the way the men in the punishment for that jack his dismissal all those guys from the
bush administration gone so the justice department doesn't go to pursue it because they want
the moon bro bala decision looking for work
ever want to go back mails want to go forward
as jack pointed out that i think correctly on msnbc
you rob a bank you just want to say hello i'm looking for we're not looking backward
sort of prosecuting for the cr
i thought this was an interesting way to look at the hatch act by seeing how foxnews dealt
with it back in two thousand four by going after surely chirag
but not karl rove tell our netflix they deliver the movies the rows no late charges
