The first place . Joining us now is ben smith, editorinchief of the Buzzfeed News. Instead of only presenting known facts, they left it to readers to reckon with a messy reality. I know you have taken a lot of flak for this. Let me just ask the obvious question which is, lets say i had an unverified document given to me by one of your enemies claiming that you had committed a crime. Lets say that was in the hands of Law Enforcement but they did not press charges against you. We had no evidence at all but it was true but i did know that releasing it would greatly damage your reputation. Should i release it . Of course, i would never publish a lot because it would beof unfair. Youre just asking questions, tucker, i appreciate it. Thats a great way to frame it and a great question. I really appreciate you having me on because i dont think we agree on this, watching the show but i want to make my case to the audience. You should not publish that document if you have it, ie thik it was briefed to the president of the United States, if members of the senate were sending out press releases and making dark intimations about it but not saying anything and then it was reported that there was a document and it referred to certain crimes but we are not going to show the the document, i would probably say, let people see the thing that is being referred to. That is certainly how we made our decision. If you look at my at replies on twitter right now, you can probably see people making allegations like that about me and you right now all day everyday. I think most consumers of information right now realize the avatar may not speak the truth but between something you have nailed down and have nailed down in under journalism and american politics, information that is being fought over at the highest levels of journalism, politics, i think there are o reasonable arguments. In a way, made these decisions about Monica Lewinsky years ago. What you say this document that is being fought over by the way except the public has seen, we dont have any special powers. What point does the audience say we can see this too and we canav deal with the fact that its clearly labeled as unverified . Which is what we did. Tucker i kind of get it. What youre saying . Is because famous people are gossipingge about it and because the president of United States. Tucker a famous person. They gossip too. A document by the way is if free, public document. Tucker the difference between what you did is its not true. We hear stuff like this all thew time. Eight years ago, there is some guy in chicago who claim to have committed creepy and illegal acts with then senator barack obama. He went and filed a sworn statement with Law Enforcement. Most of us chose not to repeat those charges because we didnt want to amplify them because we didnt know if they were true and by repeating them, we would do grave damage to a mans reputation. In this case, barack obama who have never liked. That he was a muslim, particularly crazy thing you referred to and then later, the questions about his birth certificate. They are the same because they werent secret, they were outon there. People were already hearing them. In a way, it is an analogy i think because for reporters who come from traditional newspaper background, the instinct is what you just said. Dont go spreading if nobody hasnt heard this before, why would you tell them. I think we moved into a different moment. What i found when i was covering iowa in 2007, 2008. All the voters had heard this stuff. Whether it was on the internet or talk radio. We were being to squeamish to refer to. This seems totally insane and heres a bunch of reasons to think its insane but im not going to do the clean hands thing of saying i wont touch it. That was appropriate with the muslim stuff, when donald trump started talking about the birth certificate but the media did not say we are going to cut that portion of what he said. Heres all the reasons its nonsense but we will restate the claim. Its not an exact parallel but we are living in this world b where theres tons of unverified information and we have to figure out ways to help our audience navigate and reckon with that. Rather then just to ignore it. Tucker point of fact, you didnt help them navigate, you just printed it. Heres what bothers me about your explanation. Im for openness and transparency. But by setting yourself up as a champion of press freedom, youre slightly disingenuous. I read this from buzzfeed, we firmly believe that for a number of issues including civil rights, lgbt equality, there are not two sides. It struck me as thats almost a theological statement, instead of journalism which is theres always another side. Anyone who disagrees should be ignored. That is a statement of activism, isnt it . Absolutely not, i doubt that fox news has a view that there are two sides on whether you should be racist or not. I think that is in some sense a lot of news organizations dont put out or make explicit rhat implicit point, that you are not going to cover racists like they have a legitimate point of view. Tucker i will tell you exactly how. Clearly, Buzzfeed News has a pretty open political agenda. Masquerading as journalism. Is it open or is it masquerading . Tucker it is open and obvious for those of us were trying to pay attention. I think you are hiding behind journalistic standards. The day the Supreme Court ruled on gay marriage, you wrote this, the Supreme Court ruling today, astonishing to me as much as we all knew it was coming, marks the story that has helped define buzzfeed as weve grown and one that we should be proud of playing a big part in. That sounds like a press release, not something a journalist would write. What i was saying there was that we covered the hell out of that story. We took it seriously before it was a story. If you talk to advocates on other sides, we were a central voice on a big story. I think its interesting. We can cover the stories extremely fairly. I think i would in fact refer you to there is a moment a couple of years ago, a reporter covered International Gay rights in the traditional backlash against him. Got barred from a vaticanve gathering for whatever reason and a man named steve bannon wrote an article about it on his web site. He was a reporter who had cover this very fairly. Tucker how can anybody think that anyone is for racism . Opposite, i am not for racism. I dont know who anyone is . That was an editorial statement you made, a totally obvious unpolitical statement. T. Tucker here are some recent buzzfeed articles here in the headlines. White people are a plague to thh planet. 29 things white people ruined. Join the revolution, stop the white people. I know this is kind of a pc brooklyn way. Dont blame brooklyn for this. This is a joke and this is you being humorless which i feel like as a thing that fox news is not known for. Refusing to take a joke and taking a joke in making i am really sorry that you are offended by that, tucker. Tucker you are not it comedian, you dont get to retreat into comedian mode. This isnt part of Buzzfeed News. Buzzfeed entertainment. Tucker let me ask you something that it is. You had in open position for a journalism fellowship. Before you understood that your practices were barred by employment law, you opened it open only to journalists of color. You barred people based on the color of their skin. Maybe you can every educate me on what racism is. It was aimed at people of color. I think lots of companies try to recruit a Diverse Workforce. Including buzzfeed. There also very clear, legal restrictions on how exactly you can go about recruiting. Tucker you advertised. The law stopped you from doing what you tried to do, which is exclude people from the job on the basis of your skin color. Im asking you a straightforward question. Im not suggesting youre being humorless here. Tucker why is that not textbook racism . If you exclude someone for their skin color, why is that not racist what you did . I understand there is a broad debate over affirmative action i guess i dont think that recruiting or trying to bring out a Diverse Workforce is that. I dont think you think that either. Tucker im not talking about generalities, obviously them for that. I am talking about barring, people on the basis of theirt skin color from a job, its really clear. Why is that not racism . Ui you didnt think it was. Ethically, why is that okay with you . Recruiting a Diverse Workforce is something that inevitably and all the big affirmative action cases, there is an argument about does bringing in one group mean that other people are getting excluded . There are tons of complicated laws. Tucker just give me a straight answer. I do not see that as racist, correct. Tucker lets have lunch and kind of hammer out the definition. Great to see you. President trump took its first major immigration action today. He announced two executive orders that should build a wall on the mexican border. John roberts, tell us what happened. Tucker, good evening. I went to so many of his Campaign Events and there was kind of a running but going among people. Was donald trump promising to build a wall just to get votes . And then fall to political pressure once he got into office . Or was he really going to do it . At the department of Homeland Security, President Donald Trump answer that question big league as he would say with an executive order directing the general john kelly to begin the construction of a border wall. He didnt stop there. Including a number of other measures to increase Border Security and cut the ties of illegal immigration. He wants to hire 5,000 more Border Patrol agents, triple the number of ice agents, and withhold federal funding from sanctuary studies. The president insists that these measures will be good not only for the United States, but mexico as well. Why, you say . It will stop the flow of Central American migrants through mexico to the United States and would also put a big dent on crossborder drug trafficking. As he did many times on the campaign trail, President Trump made the emotional argument to enhance Border Security. Inviting a number of parents whose children were killed by illegal aliens. Nothing can ever make their pain go away but i want you to know, your children will not have lost their lives for no reason. A lot more too coming, tucker. Stemming immigration from countries that are hotbeds of terrorism. President trump is expected to suspend at least temporarily visas from places like iraq, syria, yemen, sudan, somalia, libya. Hes also expected to reduce the number of refugees that are allowed into this country and potentially suspend all refugees from syria on a temporary basis until the socalled extreme vetting measures are in place. We will hear about that friday and also, more to come including that deferred action for childhood arrivals. That may not happen this week, tucker. Maybe sometime next week or soon after that. Back to you. Tucker thank you, john. Coming up next, the leader of an antiimmigration group that says despite what you might have heard, trump is in fact perpetuating barack obamasi amnesty policies. He joins us next to exclaim exactly what he means. Obamacare prices are rising rapidly and insurers are disappearing from a bunch of states. One of the lost top architects saying its working. A just fine. And it should not be repealed. What is the future of that law . Another debate, straight ahead. As the one whos always trapped beneath the duvet, im begging you. Take gasx. Your tossing and turning isnt restlessness , its gas. Gasx relieves pressure,bloating and discomfort in minutes so we can all sleep easier tonight. My swthis scarf all thatsara. Left to remem. What she washed this like a month ago the long lasting scent of gain flings they all. Want. To. How charge me. Xes going . Have you tried credit karma . Does credit karma do taxes now . Yeah, and theyre totally free, so theyll never take any of your refund. File your taxes for free with credit karma tax. Are you going to direct u. S. Funds to pay for this wall . Will american taxpayers pay for this wall . It will come out of what is happening to mexico. We will be starting thoses negotiations relatively soon. Of the american taxpayer will pay for the wall at first . All it is will they be reimbursed at a later date for whatever transaction we will make w from mexico. Tucker President Trump said his new executive orders will strengthen Immigration Enforcement and restore the rule of law to the country. One backer says that it is, in part, fraudulent. From the center for immigratiog he joins us now. So the left is very upset because they think he is shutting down the borders and its nativists . You say thats an illusion, hes not doing what he ran on. I would say it fraudulent. Incomplete is probably the word. The stuff he released today is actually very good, he had two executive orders on interior enforcement and border enforcement. At that stuff is all good. What has not happened is the daca program. Obama can get it through even the Democratic Congress so he just did it on his own. It was one of candidate trumps chief points. Talking points was to get rid of the unconstitutional executive orders. And maybe he is still going to do it at some point but it was a very clear i will immediately cancel these orders and it doesnt take that much to do it. He just has to say memo saying hey, stop it and knock it off. Tucker you also said does not mean deporting large numbers, just mean stopping that legalization. It right, exactly. Its a twoyear amnesty that gives work permits, Social Security numbers, drivers license and a lot of things. Its two years. They need to at least stop renewing them and stop issuing new ones. And yet, they are not doing that. Tucker how hard would that be . Nothing you just call up Homeland Security and say stop. Tucker the Administration Says thats on the way. Hopefully. I would be delighted to see that. There is no reason it should not have just happened friday afternoon. It is not Something Like these executive orders that they signed today, were actually kind of detailed. There are a lot of specific statutory citations. It took some lawyer work to put these things together. That doesnt take any lawyer work to simply say suspend processing until further notice. Tucker so is daca the main thing or are there other things you are concerned about . Daca is the main thing. It may be canceled, daca, still. There is no reason it should . Have taken this long. The other thing as it is not in the executive orders today, and may well be coming, i hope it is, but something we need to understand. Turning the magnet of jobs off. Its an essential part, probably the most important part of enforcement. But it wasnt in the executive orders today and im looking forward to seeing them at some point. Tucker there is a powerful lobby in washington that the post of that. Uc absolutely, thats whyy its been held up so long. O two lobbies. One is the obvious ones, business, cheap labor employers. On the left, they say that they are for it, the band of the online to make sure Companies Check with a higher. People on the left say they are for it but they are actually holding it hostage to amnesty. Theyve prevented it from going into effect. Tucker mark, great to see you. The middle east is a strange place. It can always get stranger, of course. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and congressman Dennis Kucinich went to meet with Bashar Alassad in syria, when they were on the ground. Jennifer griffin joins us with the latest on the story. The middle east makes for strange bedfellows. To congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said they sat down with assad in damascus. I did so because i felt it is important that if we profess to truly care about the syrian people, about their suffering, then weve got to be able to meet with anyonepe that we needo if they up the possibility that we can achieve peace. I spoke to Dennis Kucinich and his wife elizabeth as to why they went. Did president assad have anything to say . Or for the Trump Administration . The efforts of his country, to be able to keep a Pluralistic Society alive. To be able to withstand 93 different groups coming in from a hundred Different Countries to try to capsize syria. They are blowing up churches and mosques and making it impossible for culture to come back together again. This is a really far beyond what everyone thought it was in 2011. Jihadists are using people in syria to train troops. Where will they export the next violence . This is something that america has to be concerned about. Are you concerned about the u. S. Teaming up with russia and iran to work with the assad regime . Russia and iran have different interests in the u. S. I actually believe that it is important that President Trump has moved forward to build a relationship with russia. If hes able to reach a detente with russia and to work with russia to solve issues of Regional Security and international security, that can only work out to the benefit of the United States of america. Ni we can no longer afford to spend a treasure abroad. Those conflicts over there, these terrorist groups are using that region as a Training Ground and then weve got to worry about it coming back on the United States. People consider president assad a war criminal. His regime and military is responsible for nearly 500,000 deaths. How do you reconcile sittingsi with president assad who largely is seen as a war criminal around the world . Heres a choice right now that the world has. You can let isis set up camp in damascus and use it to change the entire region, the destruction of christians and muslims, and also the effect on israel that is an inevitable. Or you can stabilize region and have syrians choose who they want their leaders to be. Their trip was funded by the air American Community center for economic and social services, a nonprofit based in cleveland. Last friday, while the president was being inaugurated here in washington, russia was renewing a 50 year leave for military bases in syria. Tucker its interesting, as a candidate he expressed sympathies for the christian solder. I wonder if he agrees with Tulsi Gabbards opinion on this. The white house may call her in and ask about her trip. Tucker thank you for that. Up next, obamacare a appears to be on the brink of ending. We are joined next by a chief architect of it. We are joined next by a chief architect of if youre going to make a statement. Make sure its an intelligent one. The highly advanced audi a4, with available virtual cockpit. Tiki barber running hambone a barber shop . T hut yes surprising. Yes whats not surprising . How much money david saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Whos next . Doesnt go on your wrist. Technology. The highly advanced audi a4, with classleading horsepower. Tucker the Affordable Care act appears to be tottering on the edge of oblivion. 20 million americans only have one option to choose from on obamacare premiums. Now the Trump Administration and Republican Congress is poised to kill the law completely. T Jonathan Gruber helped craft obamacare and its predecessor with mitt romney. He joins us now from massachusetts. It looks like a pretty Strong Majority of americans, around 60 want to see the aca repealed entirely or in part. Why do you think they feel that way . The polls have moved a lot, tucker, we dont know where the public is at this point. It is in flux. I think they feel that way because there has been a lot of information, heres a simple example, everyone agrees that obamacare is increasing Insurance Coverage in america. But if you have americans almost have seen that declines have gone up. Misinformation has been spread. Americans dont understand what this law has done for them. Tucker so you famously said the law got passed becauset of the stupidity of the American Voter not understanding the intricacies of the funding of this law. You apologize for that. But it seems like you still feel that way. He said people dont like it because they dont understand it. Its their health care. Are they that dumb that they dont understand how great itlo is . That was not what i said. I apologized towards, though. There is been a huge amount ofpr misinformation spread about this law. People dont understand what j its done. Lets just take the two facts given the introduction. Only one choice. For the small share of americans, to buy insurance on he said premiums are up 25 . He didnt mention theyve been up 0 the two years before and on average over the last three years have grown slower than the group before the law was passed. Its really about myth explanation of what the law has done. Tucker i am amazed that you would see on television and i think im quoting exactly m people dont like it because i dont know what its done for them. I just want to at reask my question. If you are an american, an adult, able to drive, vote, and own a gun that you would be sent to you enough to read about their own health care . What are you saying, exactly . What im saying is that theres been a huge amount of information passed around this law. If you look at the people that are actually benefiting from this law, surveys have gottenin benefits from plans that are new on the Affordable Care act, they vastly approve of those plans. People that oppose the law are people who have not been heard from the law. They just heard in my view, theyve heard a lot about information about it. Tucker you, made the point, thank you for answering directly and i think honestly. You are saying people benefit from it, like it, i think that is true. T, some people really like the aca. But the majority doesnt. There is still a majority. I thought this law was supposed to help everybody . This law was never supposed to help everybody. The law was explicitly designed first to massachusetts and then for the nation to leave the vast majority of americans alone. Employers, the government, were not expected to be affected by this law. In the long term, lowering cost. In the near term, the law was designed to fix what was wrong with our system. Which was focused on the 20 of americans who did not haveve health insurance. That was the design of the law. Tucker thats not all what i heard the president at the time say. At all. I was there. Fine point. T let me ask you this, are you really saying there are no victims of this law . Im not saying that. Tucker who has been hurt by obamacare . Two groups. The wealthiest that paid new taxes and very healthy individuals who benefited from l previously discriminatory insurance market. Before insurance could kick sick people out. Bad for sick people but good for healthy people. If youre young person in the market, you benefited from the fact that sick people were excluded. Ensure everyone, that meant for that some the young, healthy people, their premiums went up. Tucker you are vilifyingup the groups that are being hurt by this. Do you think there is any sort of decent person who is sort of doing his best and just had ancillary damage from this . Or is it just who deserves who gets what came to them . All i did with state the facts of who the losers are. The wealthiest americans and the people who are healthy is in the market beforehand. I am owning that those people were disadvantaged by the law but lets focus on the fact that there are small number, relative to the people who benefited from the law. Many, many, many more people benefited from this law and were hurt by it. You just want to focus on the small number of people who had to pay more for their health insurance. What you want to focus on thatat group . Tucker i want to focus on the over 100 Million People who dont like the law and you are saying they just dont know enough to like it. Its been a number of years now and i marvel at that. Lemme ask you a specific, discrete question. Healthy people that are paying more and thank you for conceding that. I wonder why they shouldnt be annoyed that they have to pay for services they dont want or need . Why should i be forced to buy a plan that offers things that dont pertain to me in anyway . Y . When that bother me . Tucker, thats a trivial part of the issue. Its that they are being asked to fairly be in a pool with healthy and sick people. The extra services are a trivial distraction from the problem. Tucker i assumed you were an expert on this. I live in d. C. And know thee people who got rich from the socalled trivial additions. You can smirk all you want. A lot of these things were added by lobbyists for companies that. Wound up getting rich. You can see that there are a lot of Health Care Providers who made a lot of dough off this law. H oa lot of lobbyists too. They are the winners as well . Health care systems had winners and losers, with any law. The Health Care Systems had winners and losers just like any law you would pass that would create lobbyists. They make money off of any law. Thats the nature of the business. Tucker because they are forcing people to buy things that they dont want and dont help them. Last simple question. Why should i be required to buy a plan that covers things that do not apply and will never apply to me such as breastfeeding, prenatal care, substance abuse, counseling, those will never apply to me as a nondrinking man. Why should i have to buy those plans . Well, basically its aa legitimate question youre asking. You might also ask why a woman a has to buy a plan that covers prostate or viagra . Thats a legitimate debate to have but rather than having a legitimate debate, which is a small part of the law you vilify tucker im a bad guy, i asked you a question. Whats the answer . The answer is that basically as a society, we have to decidee what is defined as fair insurance. If republicans dont like that part of the law, then by alled means, go ahead and attacked a part of the law. You think the law benefits are too generous . In thats the part of the law you dont like . L thats no reason to rip the whole law down. Tucker thats such a propaganda line. I was arguing that the benefits werent benefiting. Dont call them benefits because they are not. I dont want to buy it, i dont care to have it, therefore it is not a benefit. Im not arguing it is too generous, im arguing it is stupid for my uses. Im not going to agree with the word stupid in this context. Tucker, if that is the issue that you have with the law, fine. Go after it. Dont once again what you continue to do, vilify and entire law over these small issues. If thats the issue, then great. Tucker you didnt answer my question you went right to propaganda. I wasnt saying that or anythina even close to that. As you know full well, unfortunately we are out of time. Professor, i appreciate it. Up next, the candidate from the dnc chair said her job would be to silence white people. Radio show how tammy bruce says this is evidence of a Clueless Party cannibalize meant itself. Shes up next to explain what that means. I am ready. Because today theres harvoni. A revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Harvoni is proven to cure up to 99 of patients. Whove had no prior treatment. It transformed treatment as the first cure thats. One pill, once a day for 12 weeks. Certain patients. Can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Harvoni is a simple treatment regimen thats been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. Tell your doctor if youve had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. I am ready to put hep c behind me. I am ready to be cured. Are you ready . Ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. Weve done well in life, with help from our advisor, we made it through many market swings. Sure we could travel, take it easy. But weve never been the type to just sit back. Not when weve got so much more to give when you have the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. Ameriprise my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say oh, no, im not prejudiced, i am a o democrat. We cannot smash voices down when they are trying to scream,re listen to me, you dont get it. I am a white woman. I dont get it. Tucker that was sally t Boynton Brown of idaho. Fox news contributor tammy bruce says this performance shows the democrats havent learned a thing from the november election. She joins us now. Tammy, thanks for joining us. What is your read on that . I was on the left, i saw thia building. It really is kind of a cannibalism internally. If you are a democrat, if you are a politician, you want to reach every american. But this is the boiling down of identity politics, thats all theyve had. The left liberals, the democrats cant win back on the details of the issue so what theyve done is theyve separated americans, theyve pitted americans against each other, they use emotion, they manipulate people. Of course thats about racism, sexism, homophobia and what we are seeing now since they got completely a regional week club, they really kind of boiled down like a sauce, tucker. They are at the heart of what drives them, which is this racialist point of view which is not racism, its more of everything is seen through race or with feminists. Everything is seen through gender. The American People are saying f look, we see things through jobs, bank account, if my child is going to be safe, war, this is the things that marginalize the party and made them irrelevant. Tucker they see themselves as individuals. Organizing themselves along tribal lines, tribalism. How does that end up . This is a movie we have seen before in a bunch of periods of history and bunch of Different Countries. The endpoint of this . In the countries that are not america, where this kind of power is exuding, large groups of people get killed. Because some groups then just like with animal farm, or more special than other groups. Youve got to reinforce that throughout society. Part of the discussion in the election of courts has been the forgotten man and woman. They werent necessarily forgotten, tucker. It is not just white individuals in middle america. Its also people of color in thn urban area. Anybody who just didnt quite fit. When you begin to look at americans that way, or anyone in the world, youre going to need to pit them against each other. The great thing a course about n this countries we can have this conversation, we can tell those individuals they are not forgotten, and we can change the dynamic. Now youre seeing this real meltdown. This dynamic where there is a hysteria. That woman and every candidate they are, by the way, most of them who are running for the dnc were doing exactly the same f thing. Pandering for the lowest common denominator of which ruins frankly all of our lives. Tucker it certainly doesnt help their party longterm. Tammy, does a t really smart analysis. Up next, our old friend bob beckel. He will be right here in the friend zone. There he is, ladies and gentlemen. Dont change that dial. There he is, ladies sfx Shopping MallAmbience Group conversation oo waa ahhh wooooo oo waa ahhh its a beautiful mornin thank you its a beautiful mornin ahhh each bird keeps singin his own song so long ive got to be and theyre absolutely right. They say that its hot. When really, its scorching. And while some may say the desert is desolate. We prefer secluded. What is the desert . Its absolutely what you need right now. Absolutely scottsdale. Tucker time now for the friend zone, we have one of our friends who is in the building here at fox. We worked together on an up another network. Hey, bob. Congratulations man, im so happy for you. Tucker one of my favorite things about you, you talked about in public youre not only sober man but youve helped a lot of people, including some i know, achieve sobriety. One question im never asked you its what were the circumstances of you getting sober . Well, i will tell you. I was at a bar in southern maryland. A biker bar. The kind of place i used to hang out at. Trying to pick this woman up ati the bar. I had this feeling there was something behind me. I turned around and there is a guy with the 45 pointed right at my face. He pulled the trigger. It was her husband. 4 he had not chambered the bullets, thank god. Somebody grabbed me from behind, the second bullet blew a 3foot hole in the building. Just before he passed out, i said god, i do not know if you exist, but if you do, this issa the last drink i ever had. 17 years. Tucker thats amazing. I wish i asked you earlier. Why would this husband be mad at you . Tucker, let me ask you this. If your wife was being picked up by me, would you be a little mad . Ou tucker man, i forgot my gun he was an angry man. Tucker that was like Martin Luthers conversion. A big moment. Have you had another drink again . Never had another drink again and never done an illegal drugug after that. T. I used to do a lot of illegal drugs, on the cape. The amount of money i spent was unbelievable. Anyway, ive worked with drug addicts and alcoholics now. I cant stand them. I really cant. But i was one, so i understand where its coming from. I also do interventions. I got trained as and interventionist which is the most difficult thing you can possibly imagine. Tucker so if you were to y sincerely, i actually really admire you do, i think its really important for real, whats the one piece of advice you would give to someone who is starting to think maybe i should not be drinking . I would say give yourself 30 days without a drink. If you can do that, and it doesnt bother you, and that you dont obsess over it, then youre probably not an alcoholic. My guess is is if you are thinking you are an alcoholic, 95 of the chance is, you are. It is so gene connected. My father four generations back were alcoholics. My mothers side was too. I was a target from the very beginning. The other thing about it, the thing about alcohol is its the fastest medicine you can ever get. You take it and everything feels fine for a while. And then you dont. Tucker thats exactly the way people see it. Your book i should be dead has a lot of this in it. I would recommend it. Bob beckel, thanks a lot for this. Congratulations again. Tucker coming up next, chinas second richest man has some really insightful thoughts about americas direction in the past 30 years. We will have him next. In a world that needs a hero, justice is spelled box. Say hello to a powerful tool that gives you options to fit your budget. Oh, im tied to this chair dundundaaaa i dont know that an insurancethemed comic book is what were looking for. Did i mention he can save people nearly 600 . You havent even heard my catchphrase. Im all done with this guy. Box him up. Thats terrible. Friend of yours . Thats frequent heartburn. Its always lurking around. But im safe. I took my prevacid®24hr today. I didnt. One pill prevents the acid that causes heartburn, all day, all night. Prevacid®24hr.
