Whats going to be different this time . We are going to win. Martha sanders bed comes on the same day of several new senior staffers joining a team that is already raised an unprecedented wanted to 30 million at this point in the race. Trace gallagher live with the story tonight. Hi, trace. Hi, martha. The president building his campaign on early so he has the straight shot to be the g. O. P. Nominee in 2020. A big part of that is adding more senior level staff. They campaign the hiring of Communications Director tim murtaugh, press secretary kayleigh mcenany, and mark lauder who is a former aide to Vice President mike pence and who you are about to talk to. Also adding making powers as an operations director. The core of the campaign has been in place for about a year, including Campaign Manager brad requires scale who spoke to martha about strategy back in january. Watch. We are building a different operation in 2016. The campaign at its best operated at a fraction of probably what was needed. It was mobile, changing, adapting. This is a man running his first candidacy ever. In 2020, the operation is different. This is going to be a much larger grind ground game. Came out a full year before george w. Bush and obama. Former Massachusetts Governor william weld is challenging the president for the republican nomination, but it is going to be a long shot because the Republican National committee has already said it will support the president , meaning there are no sanctioned debates and the National Party is working with state Party Organizations to line up delegates for the Republican NationalConvention Next year. Then there is the money. The president will enter the election cycle with an enormous fundraising lead over democrats. Just in the last three months of 2018, the Trump Campaign and its affiliates raise 21 million, putting the reelection ballot at an outstanding 129 million. At the same time in 2010, president obama had 4 million. In 2002, george w. Bush had 3. 2 million. The Republican Party has also maintained a robust staff in key battleground states to counter the growing list of democratic president ial hopefuls. All of that said, a New Washington post abc paul says 56 of all americans say they would definitely not vote for trump should he become the nominee. Martha they see him as beatable in that pole. More with that pole, mark more without poll, chris is that amount of fundraising daunting to democrats at this stage of the game . When you look at his cash on hand, he only has 19. 5 million. I do not know what hes been spending on that. Cash on hand is what matters. Martha i dont know if that has not come in yet. No, thats not how it works. What you raises what youve taken in. 19 million on hand should scare them. Bernie sanders raised 3. 5 million today. Not too far behind the president. Hes only been campaigning for a couple of hours. The one marked, how do you respond to that . Im curious. The president has been on the campaign trail since very early last year, having mega rallies, attracting tens of thousands of people. Those are the kinds of things that the campaign is currently paying for. In addition to having one of the most sophisticated staff build outs currently in the process of doing, hes busy having mega rallies as weve seen. Martha thats what you say where the money is going right now . Theres a lot of money that goes there. No question the president is going to have all of the support and all of the money he needs to easily win reelection in 2020. Martha i am going to play a sound bite from Bernie Sanders which goes to the heart of what the argument against the president is going to be and get your reaction. He is a pathological liar every day. I also think hes a racist, and sexist. A homophobe. A xenophobe. Somebody who is gaining cheap political points by trying to pick on minorities, often undocumented immigrants. Martha the argument is going to be some sort of socialist leaning idea about things like 50 minimum wage, free college. Some of those ideas. The opposing perspective the President Trump is hes going to be a bad guy, mark . Its just ludicrous. I understand Bernie Sanders is trying to stand out from the 50 socialists that are now running. Hes no longer unique and quirky. He is just another socialist running for the Democratic Party. The president is going to run on results, whether its women, africanamericans and minorities, they know theyve got more money in their paychecks. They know they have more jobs because of this president s leadership, and the nonsense that you see from the democrats coming from this, theyll start their socialism platform out, theyll nominate a socialist. Martha clearly not all democrats. Amy klobuchar is saying, look, wake up, we cannot pay for college for everyone. But she is for medicare for all. Martha and Howard Schultz running as an independent says there is no way that any opponent can oust trump the matter how far to the left they are. Whoever the democrats nominate, theyll have a very good chance to be a president whose numbers remained in the low 40s his entire presidency. Hes never been above 50 , hes at 41 now. Mark, i love you. I hope the president runs so you can have a job for two years, im not so sure hes going to run. I think the guy thinks i can only play on the chips for so long in my lifetime and im going to spend my summers doing that and not going to rallies. I think he knows that things are only going to get worse for him politically in the next few years and even thereafter. I think if he decides not to run again, claims victory for whatever he things he accomplished the last oracle years and move on with his life and enjoy it. Martha i have no idea whats in the president s mind but i dont think he is thinking that at all. Thats my guess. Mark, youre working with him . What do you think . I guarantee you 100 that President Donald Trump is running for election. Hes focused on that, cannot wait to take his message of success to the american people. And contrast it with this radical socialist platform that democrats now stand for and we will see martha hold on. You are shooting that socialism side of it. Even across Kamala Harris is one of the most popular candidates running so far. Vice president joe biden, we dont know whether or not hes going to get in. Bernie sanders is second on the list in terms of polls clearly in favor of the socialist ideas but Kamala Harris says shes open to removing peoples private health care. These are very radical ideas to most americans. They represent some of the strongest candidate so far in the race. I think when you call them socialism, people call them radical. When you break them down and talk about what they are, providing health care for all americans figure 30 trillion 30 million. Hold on a minute, mark. When you break these things down, we already have socialist like programs called social security. Its called the va. Its called the army. Its called police forces. Its called roads. Republicans instead of wanting to talk about ideas want to demonize people who have those ideas and call them socialist and not to try to engage in an actual debate about how we are going to do things to make this country better. Martha my final thoughts vehicle thats why they lost in the midterms and thats why they are going to lose next time. Thats why, mark, the president is not going to run for reelection. Trust me. Martha very quick, mark. When you say we are going to take peoples private Health Insurance and put them on Government Health care against their will . I will have that debate. Not what people are saying. Martha well do it again soon. Up next, the investigation into Jussie Smolletts alleged hate crime takes another surprising term tonight. The feds not investigating him for what could be a separate hoax and a local prosecutor for some reason has suddenly stepped aside. Judge napolitano on the case next. On the letter, it had a stick figure hanging from a tree with a gun pointed towards it with a words saying, smollett, you will die, [bleep]. And on the side, letters saying maga.

Martha venue information from chicago as the Jussie Smollett saga continues. New reports that the feds are looking into whether the actor played a role in sending himself this threatening letter, which we now have pictures of in the days leading up to the alleged attack. As police are investigating two separate incidents of possible surveillance involving the two and others they say were paid by the actor to carry out this attack. Mike tobin live with the very latest breaking of the story tonight. Good evening, mike. Good evening, martha. A lot of exciting developments but those two brothers you were talking about were spotted in the criminal Court Building today as Police Confirmed they were there. Going into the grand jury room. Police say this is not a these are police and prosecutors having yet another meeting while they continue to demand that smollett come in for an interview. A report about that letter that was a report that smollett participated in the creation of this letter that was sent january 18th to the empire studios. It contained cut out magazine letters and had racist and homophobic hate messages. The return address spelled out in red ink the letters maga on it for the fbi got involved because of the portion of the investigation and that is one of the elements that is whirling pretty fast out here in chicago. Another element that came today is the cook county state attornment kim fox short time ago saying shes recusing herself from the smollett investigation. They didnt say why. Shes someone who came into the position after all the controversy with the look Juan Mcdonald case, we are looking to see why she recused herself in this particular case. While waiting for some movement out of Jussie Smolletts legal and p. R. Team. The police have been requesting again and again and again that smollett come in for this followup interview that they want ever since the osundairo brothers were question. What we get from the legal team is not that they are refusing the followup questioning, just that they are not doing it yet. Martha . Martha mike, thank you very much for joining me now is judge Janet Napolitano what do you make of this information . It appears to this neutral observer that this man concocted the whole thing and reluctant to acknowledge that to the police. It wouldnt surprise me if the two brothers were in there testifying before another grand jury with the target being mr. Smollett himself or they cannot compel him to speak, particularly if he is gone from being a victim to being a target. The feds are involved because of apparently mail fraud, sending a fraudulent item in the mail. Thats not typically prosecuted unless someone has lost money or gain money as a result of the fraud. But hes facing filing a false criminal charge and lying to the police. These are potential crimes taken seriously by the government when it wastes a lot of resources. Did it waste a lot of resources . Yes 12 chicago detectives have been assigned to this for three weeks. Martha what about the time and hours they spent and the other people in chicago who may have needed lawenforcement help during those moments . Its like the extreme version of what you dont pull a fire alarm as a joke in a school. Great comparison. Martha when you do that, you are sucking up the resources of the Law Department in a place that has a lot of crime, and a lot of real concerns. The news that this prosecutor, kim fox, has recused herself from this case, doesnt she have to have a good reason to recuse yourself . Im sure she does. Often when you do recused, you dont state the reason. When you dont recused, review for a prosecutor recusing . There is rumors that shes a distant relative of his. If thats true, she should have recused herself three weeks ago. If shes recusing for political reasons, she is locally and doesnt want to ask him . Shes not doing her job thats refusal to do her job. There are 700 prosecutors in that office. Anyone can take that case. Martha in terms of the larger response to this case, im just curious to what your thoughts are. There are still celebrities who are saying that maybe potentially standing by his story. He is sort of coming off now in some reporting as sort of a victim, why would he do this . All of this sort of thing . Whats your view as someone whos seen a lot of criminals come before you about the seriousness of whats going on here . I think its very serious and i cant even imagine a valid defense other than temporary insanity. A fear that something was about to happen to him and he wanted to divert attention from this thing to himself becoming sympathetic victim. To utilize the instruments of the government and to state things under oath that are untrue simply is not tolerable. I cant imagine the chicago authorities letting this go by the wayside. Martha what about these two young man, the brothers, there are some reports that they were spotted in an uber with a camera in the back of a car. There might have been video with them in an elevator. They appear to be cooperating. Whats their culpability . It appears as well that they went along with it. Heres what the prosecutors will do. Cough up the truth and we wont prosecute you. If you dont tell us the truth, will prosecute you for participating in this. Martha very sloppy crime if this is a hoax. Theres evidence all over the place. If you look at this letter, whoever cut these letters out, did they say there are magazines that are part of the evidence right now . There could be fingerprints all over these dams and letter . To call this sloppy would be charity. Martha they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it didnt take long after this sailor passed away to get by metoo. Unbelievable. Next a. Claritind relieves more. At a comfort inn with a glow taround them, so people watching will be like, wow, maybe ill glow too if i book direct at choicehotels. Com. Who glows . Just say, badda book. Badda boom. Book now at choicehotels. Com. What would it look like [if we listened more . ] could the right voice the right set of words bring us all just a little closer, get us to open up, even push us further . It could, if we took the time to listen. The most inspiring minds, the most compelling stories. Download audible and listen for a change. It would do more than haul. If i built a van, it would carry my entire business. Id make it available in dozens, make that thousands of configurations. It would keep an eye on my fleet. [ beeping ] and an eye out for danger. With active brake assist. If i built a van, id make it available in diesel and gas. And id build it right here, in south carolina. Introducing the all new sprinter starting at 33,790. Built in the usa. Mercedesbenz. Vans. Born to run. Martha we told you the story of the navy sailor in this iconic vj day photo that he passed away. For decades, this photo represented the of lillians of the moment when americans learned the news, the joyous news that world war ii was finally over. And when i looked at this photo yesterday, it occurred to me that there might be somebody who might look at it and not see it through that lens. But through the metoomovementoftoday. Andsureenough,thatnight somebody defaced this statue replica of that image by spray painting the words metoo on the nurses leg. Bethany hallberg, the granddaughter of a world war ii veteran, dr. Josten liver, gender violence based expert. Good to have both of you with us this evening. Let me start with you. Whats your reaction when you see the red paint stripping down her leg . After they did put graffiti on the statue, i went to my twitter feed to see what people were saying. You actually had people two days after this war hero passing away calling him a predator. This shows that the meto movements would weaponize any story. It doesnt give into the joy that they were in germany finally surrendered, but i think theres another part thats very damaging, this does nothing to help women who are true victims. So i stand with groups that want to advocate for women who have been victimized. But when everything becomes an outrage, true justice is actually hard to achieve. Martha lets look at the woman who was kiss. She was interviewed about the case. Her name is greta zimmer friedman. She said suddenly i was grabbed by a sailor and it wasnt that much of a case. It was more of a jubilant act that he didnt have to go back. He grabbed someone dressed like a nurse that he felt very grateful to nurses who took care of the wounded. What do you say about all of this . I think. Its an assault that happened, right . I do agree that contact context is helpful to understand, but if we are going to get to the nuts and bolts of how you would define it legally, it was a nonconsensual kiss. He acknowledged it. She acknowledged it as well but what i go as far as to call him a predator and use this inflammatory language . Neither one of them said it was an assault. She said he its a case. His fiancee was nearby. They had just run out of a show at radio city music hall when they heard the news. Went running into times square to be with all the other people who were starting to get this incredible news that the country was free from war and saw someone that looked like a war nurse and wanted to celebrate with her and grabbed her and gave her a kiss. I think that how is that an assault . Figure if she were alive today, it would be helpful to talk with her more. What i read of the quote where she also said that she didnt know him, this person just came in grabbed her and kissed her the one she never says in the entire interview that it upset her, she was bothered by it. She said it was just a moment. It was about what was happening in the country. Yeah. Shes no longer here to speak further, right . Martha she spoke in pretty great detail when she was alive. Yes. Sure. In my opinion, based on what ive read of her quotes where she said she didnt know him, he came in grabbed her, it wasnt romantic. To me, it doesnt sound like she was b1 you are parsing her martha you are parsing her words and leaving out the parts where she said he grabbed someone who grabbed the mic look like nurse because she before she died two years ago that she thinks this is a wonderful moment. They even had a hard time finding who this woman was in the photo because so many women came out and said it was me, they thought it was a good thing and they wanted to take credit for that. Even when you look at the photo itself, there are people smiling in the photo. Martha no one is alarmed. No one is alarmed that this is going on. Theres a lot in our history that we need to bring into the forefront, there are a lot of mistakes that have been made in americas history. This man kissing this woman when germany has finally surrendered is not that dark thing. Its called unconditional surrender, which is an echo of the agreement that was reached with japan. With her surrendered to having this case from the stranger, you know, i think most people think its a beautiful parallel in a lot of ways. At least thats the way i look at it. You are entitled to opinion. What about defacing the statue with this red paint. How does that serve people who are genuinely being assaulted in this country . I think i personally am not a fan of defacing public art. I think there are other ways to start the conversation. I think a couple of key constructive takeaways regardless of peoples opinion on how they interpret these quotes on people who passed away, a couple of important takeaways we can all agree on our number one when women are assaulted they dont always fight back, right . And assault can look consensual from the outside. Somebody doesnt know whats going to the head of that person who was caught by surprise, they thought they couldnt fight back. Thats one. Martha all right. Go ahead real quick. Just to say, i think theres been a lot of backlash around the metoomovement. Iwanttoacknowledgemostmenaregood men. Mostmenareagainsexual assault we need that vast majority of men to intervene when they see something happening that shouldnt be happening. Most people agree that this world war ii veteran was a good man. He and this woman and his wife, they kept in touch all throughout the years and cherish this photo as an important moment in their lives. To say that he assaulted someone i think is a disservice to his memory. Hes 95 and he just died yesterday. We are going to leave it there. The response is what matters. I agree. Martha thank you, beverly as well. Remember this. The attorneys for the Catholic High School students seen in this video is now taking dramatic legal action. This is a breaking story that will bring you next. Martha filed a bomb shall defamation suit against the Washington Post. Joining us with latebreaking details tonight. The 22 page 250 million lawsuit claims the Washington Post participated in a modern day form of mccarthyism by targeting and bullying Nick Sandmann for three days. His lawyers go on to describe the teen as an end and send innocent secondary school child to advance a agenda against President Trump, adding the post used is vast Financial Resources to enter the bully pulpit by publishing a series of false and defamatory print and online articles which effectively provided worldwide megaphone to smear a young boy who is in its view and accessible casualty in their war against the president. Widely criticized and vilified in the media after alpine video showed him staring down native american Nathan Phillips. The post and numerous outlets failed to look at the entire two hours of video and used clips to paint him and is turned out the altercation started with a group of black hebrew israelites who called the students extremely offensive terms we cannot repeat and also called them crackers and childrens for they only chanted and raise their voices to drown out the offensive slurs and not directing their chance toward anyone pure thats when Nathan Phillips entered the picture and moments later, some students did tomahawk shops. Sandmann claims he tried to many outlets apologize for the rush to judgment. Minutes ago, the Washington Post is reviewing the lawsuit and plans to mount a vigorous defense. In their efforts to go after wrongdoers martha quite a story. Times up as the saying goes. But now its for the Catholic Church as the pope convenes a global meeting in rome. Our panel next. Here, hopefully our voices will be heard at the highest levels of the vatican so many changes will be made. Memories. What we deliver by delivering. To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else. Means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop. Does this sound dismal . It isnt. Its the most wonderful life on earth. The holy father wants to make very clear that two of the bishops around the world, not only those participating that each one of them has to claim responsibility and ownership of this problem it will make sure that people are held responsible, accountable, and there is going to be transparency. Those three elements will keep children safe. Martha a big supporter of pope francis who is preparing for a highstakes conference at the vatican this week aimed at damage control and transparency in trying to repair the reputation of the Catholic Church. We have a public list of 101 accused bishops, except for seven, they all retained title of bishop emeritus or did so until their death. I think the way forward for the Catholic Church, unfortunately, is they continue to be a bloodied, hard fought task with prosecutors and government inquiries, and lawsuits. Martha right about that. Joining me now, raymond arroyo. Dwp and managing news ashley mcguire, senior fellow at the catholic association, and matthew smith, Senior Editor and Catholic Herald reporter. What are the criticisms already before this has a ready begun is that they are only going to address the abuse of minors. A lot of people feel like theres been a lot of abuse of young adults, young seminarians. Why arent they doing that . Well, its because they wanted to narrowly focus on this one issue and theyve had to address it. If you months ago, they said they were going to address the abuse of vulnerable adults as well but that is now shrunk. What we are seeing is a challenge between the central ideas of pope francis pontificate, mercy and soon a talking about a priest with inappropriate relationships with young men. And in the the buck has to stop somewhere. What we are going to see with abuses, pope francis owns this problem or doesnt. Martha obviously its incredibly egregious to assault a child. Everyone says there is no disagreement on that. Its also very bad to be doing the same thing to young seminarian boys as we now know he was doing. What do you think about this . Look, theres a big difference. We were talking about this a moment ago. Talking about priest who had children. There is a big difference between that and cardinal mccarrick. One is a love affair you shouldnt be involved in. Everybody breaking their vows. But its not a crime. Its consensual. Many of those priests, they come back into ministry after that child comes up. Its not right. But it happens. The other things egregious crimes against people and the bishop using his power to enact his well on seminarians, young boys, girls in some cases. The fact is the vatican is not addressing the issue and thats what the crisis is about, martha. Ten years ago, 15 years ago, it was about the protection of minors. That has been contained. There are procedures in place. In this other area martha this is the area nobody wants to talk about. Actually, what role can women play because women have played a very small role in what we are going to see play out in the next four days. They are a huge part of the church, obviously. Are absolutely right. Women are part of the church. We are the mothers of the children being abused. The hope of women all over the world is that what comes out of this is that these bishops when they go back to the diocese, back to their countries at the implement reforms and they involve women. Most of the reform action is going to take place at the local level, at the various conferences. Thats where the voice of women the absolute be heard. They need to be the ones that are investigating the abuse. Martha any indication thats going to happen . I think so. Thats what i think they shipped in the United States wants us to do. Martha they couldnt do this in the United States. I believe every diocese in the country, you are not going to get to the bottom of the current abuse. Some of these people involve shaping this summit, this guy is giving a speech and a guidance on transparency. This is like carty Cardi B Cardi be martha the issue of gay priests. There are. Once you join, you arent supposed to have sex of any kind. Is that the message we are sending . We are confusing getting rid of requirements by celibacy, change teaching of all the acts being wrong. Not a reaffirmation that the actual i think we need that reaffirmation if we are going to redress this. As matty mentioned, when you got a monsignor who had the scandalous pass in your gray, he runs the house that the vaticans house that he lives in. We when you have a person who is a predator straight or gay, and they need to be out. Martha i think people do not need to talk about the issue of priests who are actively having leadership. Whether its heterosexual or homosexual. Its a crisis of fidelity and it goes both towards orientations. Martha thank you. Good to have you all here tonight. Mark coming up on the story tonight.

Kids safelite repair, safelite replace martha former acting director Andrew Mccabe pushing forward on his publicity blitz for his new book. He circled back to may 2017 a very important moment in all of this after the firing of former director james comey to recall his conversation with congressional leaders who he said were fined fine with him opening a counterterrorism investigation into the president. I know you and your other members of your team leak to the socalled gang of eight. Did you tell him that you opened a counterintelligence investigation into President Trump . Of the purpose is to let our congressional leadership exactly what weve been doing. I told congress what we had done. Martha did anyone object . Because thats the important part. No one objected. Martha trey gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight committee, now a partner and fox news contributor. Good to have you with us tonight, sir. Whats your reaction . What did you think hes getting at, that nobody objected . That they knew about it and had no problem with it. The reason hes doing it this way is that devin and rand paul are not allowed to discuss anything in the gang of eight meeting. What i think is fascinating is three investigations into a newly investigated president , the peter strzok 1 of july 2016 and then mccabe started counterintelligence. If he is telling the truth, started a criminal probe into the president of the United States. I heard devin and paul at the doj for hours on multiple occasions about the one counterintelligence investigation. We all knew about it. I find it stunning they would know about a second one and not say a single solitary word. I will continue to not believe in you about it unless one of the other contradicts it. Martha you say that the whole gang of eight was not aware that there were two coinvestigations. The first investigation that everyone understood was whether or not that there was russian interference in the election. Direct . If you look at the fbi document that was drafted and approved by peter strzok. It was a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump Campaign. The fbi doesnt like it when i say that, but ive seen the documents. They want you to believe that it was into what russia was doing. Thats fine. Thats appropriate. Unfortunately strozk use the phrase Trump Campaign. Mccabe says there was one in 2017 in addition to the criminal investigation of instruction of justice. Martha Everybody Knows that the fisa warrants were happening during the initial investigation which goes to what was going on with the Trump Campaign. What triggered the second part of this for Andrew Mccabe he was very upset that james comey was fired. When he was pressed on this by Savannah Guthrie on the today show this morning, he said what evidence, what reason did you have . Because he clearly wanted us to stop investigating. He talked about michael flynn, asked or perhaps you can see past this investigation. He felt there was a direct line, perhaps, from that to him having being an agent for russia, essentially. Is thinking jim comey is not being a good fbi director is tantamount to being an actor for russia, list all the people directors for russia. Chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, Rod Rosenstein who wrote the memo getting rid of comey. Michael horowitz the inspector general. I dont know mccabe like jim comey. Lots of people thought that jim comey had lost the ability to lead that department. The fact that President Trump got rid of him in may of 2017 is not sufficient basis to launch a criminal obstruction of justice probe. Look at what happened, martha. He gets rid of comey, replaces him with a comey acolyte who not only continues the probe, but expands it. So if his goal was to obstruct a russia investigation, gosh, he did a terrible job of it. Martha your friend adam schiff clearly believes that there is evidence that Andrew Mccabe speaks of definitely exists. Just to remind, Andrew Mccabe said he believed that the president was a National Security concern. It was such a potent moment for everyone because they are so terrified about this. Here is adam schiff what hes talking about the continued evidence at this point on sunday. Lets watch. You can see evidence plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence. There is a difference between gang able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond reasonable doubt. I hope the questionnaire followed up and said, okay chairmanship, you just said that you have evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the president of the United States and the russian state. What is that evidence . What is the crime was trump involved in hacking the dnc server . Was involved in the hacking of John Podestas email . Are you alleging he participated and went to disseminate the proceeds of these two hacks . Ive heard adam on a number of occasions say that he is the third eye raven, has evidence and seen things that no one has ever seen before. But ive never heard him ask what is it . Whats the evidence of crime that you have . Ive never heard it followed up. He also weighed in on the Jussie Smollett story with this week on january 20th. He also made assumptions on the outcome of this case. I met him in the pride parade, ive seen his to seek hes a victim and wish for a speedy recovery and we reject this act of bigotry as well it is anof instances where adam schiff would rather get the attention than the facts. I said it before, he was a good lawyer but unfortunately he is a much better politician. Lawyers get the facts but then they make conclusions and politicians just want the attention. He got it and i wonder if anybodys going to ask him, how did you get this all wrong. Trey gowdy, good to see you as always. On this tuesday night, tucker is up next. Tucker good evening, welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight tonight. Bernie sanders is running for president not that he ever stopped.
