Believe me, is the United States of america. Tucker the president also denied allegations he pressured to fired fbi james coming to advance in an investigation of former National Security advisor Michael Flynn. Did you urge james comey in any way, shape, or form, to back to me investigation against Michael Flynn . No. No. Next question. Tucker donald trump is a volatile president. Hes impulsive, he changes course on a dime, sometimes without claiming why. Hes elusive about what he really believes that he talks and tweets about himself too much, too much for his own good or for the countrys good. By the way, hes not always a great manager. The white house is actually pretty chaotic right now, but not just media spin. Its real. If you voted for tom, you already know this. You probably knew it back in november when you voted for him. But what you also knew, and what has Worth Remembering right now, is that there are worse things than what we currently have. So, the left badly wants to
remove donald trump from office, not with votes in the next president ial election as you typically see in working democracies, but they want to remove him right now, today, using legal action or impeachment, mass protests, whatever. It doesnt really matter how it happens. By any means necessary, they often say. The left wants to do this for a number of reasons. But mostly because they used to be in power but they arent anymore and they would much like to be so again. Okay, so, lets imagine they get their way. Trump goes a mayor and tried once again. What happens then . This is worth thinking about because the Democratic Party of right now bears almost no resemblance to the Democratic Party of ten years ago, much less the Democratic Party you grew up with. It has changed in ways that ought to worry you. The modern left is no longer an ideological movement. Instead, its an organized movement around Identity Politics. Thats the idea that every american is a member of a subgroup, usually a racial category, and the point of achieving power is to win spoils for that group. Another word for this is tribalism and its the most divisive possible way to run a country. Because its not about ideas and based instead on immutable characteristics, Identity Politics is inherently unreasonable. There is no winning arguments or even having arguments. If there is only victory or defeat for the group you belong to you. Your gain is my loss by definition. In the end, every group finds itself at war with every other group. It is the perfect inversion, the perfect pro version, of the american ideal. Out of 1, benny. And it never ends well. We know this because it is the story of much of the rest of the world. And the left has brought here to america. Once you understand this, you begin to see the futility is dealing with modern progressives as just another political faction, people you can reason with or perhaps convince. They dont want to argue. They want to win. The old rules that you are member, those mean nothing to them. The left doesnt believe american traditions are noble or worth preserving. On the contrary, anything old must be destroyed. That would include the basic institutions of our society going back to colonial times. The nuclear family, freedom of speech, traditional religious faith, the rule of law, all of these are under direct and open assaults by the left. This is not an exaggeration. They are not pretending anymore. They are saying it. Indeed, the left has grown so impatient, much more than ever, that it is now unable to acknowledge the basic legitimacy of any Government Act they disagree with. Every Executive Order here is an opportunity to demand massive resistance to the law itself. Every expression of conservative opinion is a chance to get somebody else fired. Every fake hate crime is the opportunity to demand new concessions that are granted even when the fraud is exposed. Now, beneath all of us, which is the monster under the bed, as a threat of violence. At this stage, only the fringes are calling for that, but the rest of us know its there. We can feel it. Sometimes, especially recently, we can see it. And that is the end, or the beginning of it. Violence is what separates politics for more. Its a point or hurt feelings
become dead bodies. The point at which countries become ungovernable part of the people that can begin leaving for somewhere else. You dont want to get there. The most important thing our leaders can do is prevent that from happening yet increasingly, they are refusing to pay the kind of arguments we used to have in washington centered around tax rates are trade agreements. Suddenly, that seems antique. Heres what we are talking about now. Watch what happened with mees two progressives were asked on this show whether they would condemn a political violence. Because of his race, he was pulled from his truck and smash room had with a cinderblock until he sustained a brain damage. It was a hate crime if there ever was one. It all happen on videotape, helicopter caught it, and it happened and Maxine Waters city. But she did not denounce the attack preyed on the contrary, she all but endorsed the attack. That puts her outside the pale, endorsing violence, that is a line, she crossed it. I dont know if we would have our current president if that was a line. She has a right to say what she thinks. Tucker is that a legitimate tactic, to smash windows . Is not effective. Is it legitimate . So, its okay . There is time when losing violence i am asking you a philosophical question. I cant answer every question when violence is appropriate or not. Tucker i cant answer whether violet is appropriate or not. Okay. Until they can answer yes, on hesitatingly, we are in danger. Dana loesch is a radio host d a spokesman for the National Rifle association and she joins us tonight. Use those clips, you have been awake in america for the past nine months. Do you think that the left is very different from what it was two years ago and do you think they are ready to leave the country if they succeed in eliminating the president from office . Tucker, thanks for having me. It sure does feel different. It feels way differently than it used to. I get the sense this is what really troubles me. You mentioned tribalism. There are people on the left who
are so try ballistic, tucker, that they are not willing to admit what is truth. They want to be right. They prioritize being right, prioritize winning an argument, over what is true and over what is correct. And we have seen mistrust in the clip that you play. We have seen this over and over. It seems as though that they take personal offense whenever you point out, this is what you are pushing, promoting, simply doesnt add up. That is a problem. We should never get to the point where we are more for a tribe then we are for truth. Sadly, these individuals, they seem to be so triggered about it, to use their terms, that it does push them to the point of violence. Violence is not civil discourse. Violence is not reasonable discourse. It is of the last refuge of the coward. It is the last refuge of the person who cannot make their argument intellectually. And that is what we are seeing from a lot of those people, particularly on the fringe on the left. Tucker i agree. Here is what i think has changed. There have always been wackos on the fringes of american politics, ready to take up arms and hurt up other people and been neighborhood rather because they are for. I get it. But what i am shocked by is that the leaders on the left havent said anything about it. When you press them, is it acceptable to shout down a speaker, do smash store windows, to take to the streets, block traffic, those are acts of violence. They will not condemn them. That is different. No. They wont. And that is shameful. For all of the individuals and some of the people on the left, i see them on social media, tucker, i know you do come too. You talk about them on your show. Ive seen you debate them. There are individuals who say i guess we will take up arms because we didnt get our way in the election. They think that is going to be easier than going out into the street and changing hearts and minds . What a lazy response. They cant go out to vote to somewhat make them think they will be able to win some kind of conflict. Its insane. Elected officials need to be able, they should, they are required, it is their responsibility to be able to
control the passions of their side and say, you know what, there are better ways to go about this. Instead of attacking people when they are on College Campuses or attacking people in the street because you dont like the inauguration or for damaging property. They need to be more responsible for the passions, tucker, that they are inflaming. Tucker these are not partisan points. By the way, i would like to see leaders on both sides and the Congress Make an articulate defense of basic american values. First among them, freedom of speech. You have a right to say would you think is true. A period. There is no hedges on that. Hate speak is not a legal category. That is all a y. So much a stand up for that and the right of people to do that without fear of violence. I dont hear anybody saying that. Why is that . Thats a great question. I hear people who are on the right side of the aisle sang it quite frequently. I know people like you say it, people like me say it. But on the left, though, tucker, Maxine Waters, or the people you
spoke to in the clip that you played at the beginning of the segment, what is so wrong with saying that violence is unacceptable . If we see violence on our side because they always had, remember the tea party, they always have the tea party was so violent, if we were to see anything like that, what didnt happen, we would have called it out because that is not what we are about. The left needs to figure out what they are about. Tucker, we are rolling towards 2018, we are rolling towards 2020. Folders already told these people, the fringe, we dont buy your Identity Politics. We like jobs, trade, manufacturing cap. Can you people please get back to the point . That is what theyre based told them. They are not doing it, tucker. Tucker they dont believe it. I think thats it. If you have Maxine Waters, who is endorsing racial violence, which she explicitly did, after the l. A. Riots, and she becomes a folk hero, that is a huge red flag i think. Dana loesch, thanks a lot for joining us. It was great. I agree. Tucker special Counsel Robert Mueller has performed less than a day of work for the
congresswoman Maxine Waters is confident what hell find. Heres what you just said. We are going to learn a lot about the connections between this president , his allies, and the kremlin. It is going to be very revealing and i know a lot of people dont like to hear the word impeachment but i believe that its going to lead right to impeachment. Tucker is it responsible or wise to throw out the word impeachment so confidently and casually before the facts are in . Exactly candace is a former dnc former advisor. He led the trump war room and he joins us now. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. Tucker i am playing by rules that are clearly out of date. But i thought the democrats are calling for an independent investigation because they wanted to know what the facts were. Here, we have an independent investigation, run by someone whose integrity i dont think anyone is calling into question, and yet, they skipped right past the investigation are calling for impeachment. I am not calling for impeachment. Other democrats i know are not calling for impeachment. There are certain individuals are calling for impeachment. I encourage you to have them on the show to talk about that. That is not where i am. Where i am, we need to ensure that this investigation is allowed to go forward, this investigation is well resourced, this investigation is not interfered with and the way that these investigations have been interfered with in the past by this white house. B1 is so, how are we going to do that . I think we have to remain vigilant. Theres a lot of ways this administration can screw with us investigation, and that means cutting off resources, that it includes interference. Lets remember tucker i dont think it is. By statute, if im mistaken, please, call into the show and set me straight if you are a lawyer fluent in this. But i think as a matter of fact, independent counsel has a budget that is not subject to the whims of the white house. It an independent counsel is different of a special prosecutors in the past. This is within the hierarchy come over the chain of command. Tucker im aware. Its not exactly i read of the announcement
yesterday. Come Department Of Justice filed a spiritual counselor not . Tucker yes. I think that is reassuring. You never want anyone with the power that an independent prosecutor has, who is totally beyond the control of anyone, that would be a dictatorship. You would never want that. The last time we had a an independent counsel or something similar that could be fired by the white house, they were, his name was archibald cox, during the watergate scandal. Tucker heres the thing. You are saying you are not for impeachment but i just cant let you skate that easily on that, considering there is a brandnew New York Times piece about 20 minutes ago, pointing out that the democratic grassroots are not only for impeachment, but a number member of congress, number people running for office in off year elections, there is a National March for impeachment. Maxine waters says i know that there are those that are talking about that we will get ready for the next election, mimicking her more cautious colleagues, no, we cant wait that long. We dont need to eat that long. We need to impeach. She said we dont believe in elections. I strongly encourage you to have Maxine Waters on. I told you what a make of it. We are not at impeachment. We are out investigation. We need to make sure it is not hindered by this white house, that we can get to the facts because the fact that we know right now are pretty damaging. Tucker here is the leader of Democracy For America. We cannot have congress sit back and let this play out with trump and his stooges. Congress needs to impeach trump. This is the New York Times. This is a movement on the left to shortcircuit the democratic process. They are saying we cant wait for the stupid election. You can cherry picks are Democratic Leaders but what most of us are calling for tucker the head of Democracy For America . Im a democrat and i am telling you what we are calling for is a robust investigation to get to the bottom of this. We need to protect our democracy from the intervention
tucker i am gratified to hear that you are committed to our systems. Absolutely. Tucker our centuries old system. Centuries old. Tucker you are think i might you want to say, your colleagues and allies wont say, word one about this investigation until it wraps up, years from now, we find of the facts. That is what youre saying . About the investigation . Tucker the one run by Robert Mueller . I think people can comment on it. I dont know how it is tucker you are applying political pressure to someone. If you are yapping on television bob mueller is susceptible to political pressure in the news. Tucker what would be the poignant that you would say that he would be susceptible to pressure in the news by us democrats calling for us . That is just outrageous tucker no mortal man is above pressure. Period. Got it. Tucker there is no reason to comment on this. Is there . Unless you are trying to apply pressure to Robert Mueller or the many attorneys working for
him. That is the real thing. So, why would you comment on it . Until we get the facts . The issue is not commenting on investigations. The issue is calling the fbi director before you are in the oval office and telling you to knock off the investigation. That is a problem. That is interfering in the election. Tucker that is also over and we moved onto a step that you have been calling for four months. On the white house has ceded to pressure from the left, perhaps very foolishly. If you are thrilled about that, thats a bad sign. They did it. Im not the only one thrilled about it. Republicans tucker im sure. Im just saying, you called for this and now, you are going to see your friends in the Democratic Party saying that its not enough, we need to remove him from power. We cant wait for voters to decide. You cant say thats wrong . I have said repeatedly on the show that i think that impeachment is not the right move. We need to be insuring to this investigation goes through in a robust way. Tucker good. Then, you know what . Your within the bounds as far as im concerned. I hope you stick to that position. I will. Tucker believe in the rule of law and democracy. Zac, thanks for coming on. Donald trump destroyed jeb bush by calling him low energy but now the white house is being accused of lethargy weighed on my multiple scandals. Up next, Charles Krauthammer will be were here with my voice a Trump Administration get back on track fast. Also, The Economist Magazine predicted the donald trump residency what amount to an economic and catastrophe. Well ask forecasters what this guy is still firmly in place above our heads six months after his victory. And my impractical wardrobe changes, those all set . Not even close. Oh, this is probably going to shine in your eyes at the worst possible time. Perfect. Were looking at a real train wreck here, am i right . Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi® double cash card does. It lets you earn double cash back with 1 when you buy, and 1 as you pay. The citi double cash card. Double means double. To err is human. To anticipate is lexus. Experience the lexus rx with advanced safety standard. Experience amazing. Tucker whether you support the president or not, it seems clear that has white house has been slow down, not immobilized, by recent advance. Immigration reform on Obamacare Repeal have been brushed off the agenda for now, replaced by Constant Flareups Over james comey, russia, or some of the president s tweeting. Trump is still the president and his party still controls congress for another 18 months at minimum. How can the white house get its mojo back and reclaim its Freedom Of Action . This is a question that Charles Krauthammer has pondered. He is a writer, a columnist, and a psychiatrist and your favorite thinker, and he joins us now. Charles, what can the white house to . If you are to give them five pieces of advice, what would it be . I think you take your playbook from bill clinton. He was tied up in the lewinsky scandal, in his case, he knows he is lying from the beginning. He keeps on lying. But he was able to keep a straight face, try to keep his nose to the business he wanted
to carry out, the famous statement, i did not have sexual relations ends with im going to go back to work. He pretended as if this thing was a distraction. He went back to work. What trump needs to do is spend less effort and time and Emotional Energy on this, starting with, you make an unimpeachable fbi director appointment. Right now, he needs to calm the craziness. I think he actually was helped by the appointment of the special counsel. Even though, in the long run, it means the white house loses control of it. In the short run, people say, there is an investigation, lets talk about health care, lets talk about tax reform. That will take care of it. Its a way to deflect. If you make a good appointment for the fbi, by good, i mean politically astute, which means somebody unimpeachable on
special report, i said you need a eliot ness. That gives you a lot of points and allows you to move onto other stuff. That would be my number one. Tucker was number two . Stop tweeting. That is never going to happen because i think he is hardwired, like neurologically, attached to his Tweeting Machine. But it would help because when you tweet, you see what you really believe and that is not always its not usually the smartest thing in politics. Tucker [laughs] i tell the truth because it is easier to memorize. But i am not the president , a politician. Tucker [laughs] true. A Gap In Washington is when the politician accidentally tells the truth. They are so much emotional truth pouring out of the president s Tweeting Machine that he gets in trouble. Tucker too much reality. Number three, go on the foreign trip. Thereby, number four code, change the narrative. He has a real opportunity. There is going to be a big deal
what happens in saudi arabia. There are going to be 50 sunni arab countries there. There is going to announcement to the world of the total reversal of the obama era iran appeasement policy. We chose a radical shiite regime. We chose their favor over the sunni arabs who want to do support us and over israel, which will be stopped number two. That will be a big deal. It will allow him to announce and really exemplify a huge change in foreign policy. The last thing is, daily sessions with dr. Krauthammer. Tucker [laughs] im still licensed, boardcertified, and hes the only one who could afford my rates. Tucker can you give us a sense of the range of your rates . They start lets say they start in the stratosphere. In his case, i would double that. Tucker our viewers have been getting your services for the price only of a monthly
cable subscription. I know. I am truly underpaid. Tucker [laughs] last question. You think the president can follow at least the first four of these . He is making his trip. He doesnt easily compartmentalize. He doesnt have that kind of almost psychopathic ability to make distinctions, as clinton did. I think he gets sort of into anything, and it takes them ove over. I dont think he can but that is why he needs to see me. Probably for an hour a day for several years. Tucker [laughs] do you have visiting hours . By appointment only. Tucker [laughs] dr. Charles krauthammer. Fantastic. Thank you. Sure. Tucker The Economist Magazine predicted economic clout of any of donald trump won. He did. The lights are still on. What happened . Well talk to one of the economist Expert Forecasters next. Computer. With this grade of protection. Its a fortress. And with this standard of luxury. Its an oasis. The 2017 eclass. Its everything you need it to be. And more. Lease the e300 for 569 a month at your local mercedesbenz dealer. Mercedesbenz. The best or nothing. Use an over pronounced washingn technique for dramatic effect. They also know you need to get your annual checkup.

Ill only use an oralb the 1 brand used by dentists worldwide. Oralb. Brush like a pro. Tucker if i were to take you through a time warp to a distant, unfathomably different era, march 2016. Back then, when i Trump Presidency he still seemed ludicrous, laughably unlikely possibility, The Economist Magazine declared that donald trump was on the biggest threats to the world economy. American voters clearly dont read the economist and here we are six months later, the economy destroyed . Not really. The gloomy predictions about trump, and he is brave enough tr
them. Thanks a lot for joining us tonight. One of my personal obsessions, not just with a trump election, but just with all of the predictions one hears in our business, is that nobody ever stands up and says that i was wrong. The pleasure of hearing you say that will make my day. How did you get it so wrong . Nothing will give me greater pleasure than making your day. But we havent gotten it wrong yet. Tucker [laughs] really . We are four months in a four year presidency. We will see where we end up. You are not completely wrong. We were a little bit off in some places because it hasnt gone as badly as we feared. In many ways, we avoided the worst, and we are still helping a little bit for the past. When i talk about the worst, global trade wars, trump had branded trying to the biggest Currency Manipulator in history. Change his mind for whatever reason. And he thinks that china isnt a Currency Manipulator. At the same time, you still hope that he will get the tax reform through, which can provide stimulus for business. Tucker i guess what bothered me about it i think probably your macro view on this is probably right, not on trump but on trade, prosperity, et cetera. Your analysis seemed to ignore the nature of the distribution of the wealth. One of the reasons trump was elected is because a small group of people got really rich during the obama years to come up with a middleclass language. You are seeing the same phenomenon across western europe. As of something that politicians need to address otherwise you will get political chaos . Is something you need to factor in . Thats absolutely right. Inequality is a massive problem. The loss of faith in american institutions has come along side a big increase in inequality. Back in 1982 in the u. S. , its the same in the u. S. The average ceo Executive Pay was 30 times more than your average worker. Its now about 135 times your average worker. That is a major, major problem. Trumps policies are only going to make inequality a lot worse. Its pretty peculiar to see him giving Tax Giveaways for people who are handling over five and a half Million Dollars in their estates. Tucker wait a second. Now, you will have rewriting history. I would agree with you that policy is inconsistent with what he ran on. But when you guys made your prediction, he wasnt saying anything like that. He wasnt saying that i will staff my white house with Goldman Sachs guys. He was making a pretty straight populist economic argument. And that was repugnant to you and to policymakers and elites across the globe. My question is, have you looked inside . Maybe we should have paid more attention to the suffering of the metaclass then and this wouldnt have happened . Obviously, we just want what is best for everyone. If you have populist policies, the reason they are called populist typically is because they sound really great but in reality they dont work at all. The reason why we are committed to free trade is because it makes good its cheaper for everyone. The people who generally buy
imported goods are those on the lower income. If you therefore put up trade barriers, push up the cost for these imported goods and those who suffer the most are those who can least afford it. We actually have that in mind when we are opposing tucker i have heard this argument for decades, and the argument that the middle class needs more brightly colored garbage from china he is as big a threat to the world as isis. You said that in your prediction. Thats not entirely true. Tucker that it is why i am bringing it up. Back to the Global Economy. We thought he was the biggest threat to the Global Economy from a terrorist attack. An extraordinarily gloomy reality that terrorist attacks are a fact of life. Even if you look at the brussels attacks from the stock market went up. It is a peculiar country trend. But when you look at who was going to be the most powerful
man in the world, such a unique candidate, and he still is a unique president. Then, you have to take that into account in terms of the global Macro Economic forecast. Tucker there is an internal contradiction. You guys are for markets, obviously. You believe it marketed to principals, markets are wise over the long run. But markets responded positively to the election of the guy you said would destroy the Global Economy. So, who is right . You are the markets . Why would they do that . We are such beautiful fools. The dollar strengthened. But there was a certain amount remember, rational exuberance . Well see how long it lasts. Yesterday was a good example of a huge stock market fall for something that we had forecast. The Trump Presidency getting quite a lot of political chaos. That is something we are seeing snowballing over time. The stock market has absolutely outperformed. What we are a little curious as to how sustainable this is. A lot of it depends on getting through the agenda. He has not made any meaningful
outreach to the democrats, even though he is aware he needs to do it. Tucker im losing track of whether markets are rational or not. Are they rational or not . They are rational they change every single day. Tucker [laughs] they move in line with the news, just as we all do. Tucker thanks a lot for joining us tonight. I appreciate it. My pleasure. Tucker President Trump have already received more Intelligence Coverage then you can consume in your entire life. We are not daring you to try that. Up next, well talk to a professor who says the whole story is a lie, a big lie. Hell explain why. The school musical
only tena, lets you be you. Im dr. Kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. Energy lives here. Whos the new guy . They call him the whisperer. The whisperer . Why do they call him the whisperer . He talks to planes. He talks to planes. Watch this. Hey watson, whats avionics telling you . Maintenance records and performance data suggest replacing capacitor c4. Not bad. Whats with the coffee maker . Sorry. We are not on speaking terms. Tucker it took only a few decades of bad reporting with the New York Times has finally admitted that the Gender Pay Gap has nothing to do with sexism. You may have missed it but in a recent article, the reporter pointed out that what has actually been obvious for a long time, the Gender Pay Gap is largely because of motherhood. Of course, anyone who thought about it for a second already knew it. Even in 2017, women are the ones who give birth to babies and they often take the lead in raising them for you doing that, though, takes focus away from a conventional career. So, many women quit or take flexible but lower paying jobs. Theres nothing wrong with any of that. Some people still believe that raising decent kids is more important than working at a law firm and is the right to think that. Of course, it would have been nice for the times to show this kind of honesty during the eight years of president obamas terms when the bands to eliminate the sexism based pay gap were never ending. Paper still seems to see womens lack of enthusiasm for global capitalism as a moral crisis, something that we need to fix immediately. The same article they had met the gap is simply caused by different choices, freely made. The article says the longterm Price Theft Government giving up economic productivity to have families and plots ways to reverse it, because nothing more and more hard and then adding to the sum total of globalism, even
your kids. That is the times position, anyway. Its time for the reality check. As has been noted, people will fall more easily for a big lie than a small one. Victor davis hanson is a historian and a fellow at the hoover institution. He says that the entire russia story we have been talking about for months is just such a big lie created by the Democratic Party with the help of the media. Victor davis hanson joins us tonight. Professor, you are saying that this whole thing is just nonsense. Is that what you are saying . I think you have to go to the origins and the causes and the methodology and the objectives. This whole thing started during the nomination process when the never trump people commissioned a dossier by Retired British agent, the socalled Christopher Steele dossier that was pretty much ridiculous. Then, it was passed on after trump got the nomination to the
clinton campaign. Then, it was forgotten about. Suddenly, when she did with nobody thought she would do and lost, and Robbie Moogs Analytics and data didnt prove to be successful, and she didnt go to the blue wall states efficiently, then, the new narrative came. The russians must have done it by the wikileaks Probe Process and then the dossier that somehow got into the hands of the fbi director, whether he paid for it or not. I think Senator Grassley is investigating that. Now, we have this idea that trump colluded and this dossier was leaked to Media Sources that it was pretty obscene, pretty outrageous. Have things in it that could not have been true. Where are we now . We have a director of national intelligence, james clapper, said it didnt exist. We have Senators Feinstein and grassley say that fbi director comey said there was not an ongoing investigation. It was very unlikely because donald trump, he didnt dismantle eastern european
missile defense. He didnt go to geneva and press a plastic red button. He didnt make fun of romney for saying russia was an existential enemy. He didnt have a hot mic exchange with a russian president saying that he would be more flexible with the russians after the election. That entire reset, appeasement of russia, came from the clintonobama team, not from donald trump. Now, it was very unlikely anyway because he ran all is a jacksonian who was going to beef up u. S. Defensemans and get tough with the rivals abroad. It wouldnt be necessarily logical that putin would want him to be president. Yet, here we are. I think the real message that we are missing is that there was evidence that some people in the Obama Administration had a surveilled people either trump himself, or around trump. That information had either been reversed targeted, deliberately, to find information from or incidental. It didnt matter because the names were unmasked and then, they were leaked to pet her
partners. For the last six months, between the dossier and the surveilling, we have the leaks. Special investigator mueller looks at the totality of the socalled russian collusionsurveillance story, will come to conclusions that we dont expect. Tucker how ironic would it be, though, if in the course of the investigation, these investigations go in directions that you cant predict . No one can. People got in trouble, because that happens with these things. And at the same time, we discover that at its core, the story was just a lie. There was nothing there. There was no collusion between putin and trump. But it still ended up really hurting or bringing down this administration. Is that possible . Yeah, i think it is. We have had a whole cadre of washington and new york reporters who have done nothing other than for six months, using all of their tools at their disposable, their genie is, experience, to prove that donald trump colluded with the russians. They cant find anything. They havent spent commits or attempt to look at who was unmasking individuals. And that come out from the house intelligence committee. But what we are seeing, i dont want to be too dramatic, but historically, a slowmotion coup. You have the nexus of celebrities, academics, the democratic and progressive parties, then, you have the media, and they feel that they can delegitimize a president with 1,000 next, none of them significant in themselves. But they coalesced to build a narrative that trump is an experience, that he is uncouth, he is crude, he is reckless. Each day, the point is to drive his popularity down one half point, one point, until he cant function in congress because purple state Congressional Representatives dont want to take the risk to take initiatives. Meanwhile, at the aca, the tax reform, his appointments, everybody agrees they have been excellent. There is trump, the message and
agenda, versus trump the demonized president. Tucker you got to wonder if the people who run the News Organizations ever think to themselves, its kind of where that my priorities alignment precisely with those of the Democratic Party . [laughs] may be thats corrupt . [laughs] i think the democratic wrapped is taking its cue from the media. When the media has a narrative, the use of profanity, the Democratic Party follows on course. They have been following the trump story because the media has been generated and at. Tucker professor, i love talking to people with great memories. And you have one in perspective.

Joining us tonight, sean hannity, who knew how mike needs no introduction, except to say that he knew our former bos. How would you some of the guy as big as roger . There is only been three people in my life that i have met that have this deeper dimenn in terms of the thought process. You know, i would often sit with him, and a time i would have a meeting, i dont care if it was on the phone or in his office, i would always take a pattern a paper because they knew i was going to get four or five great ideas that would make me seem much smarter than i am. He saw things differently. He would be able to cut to the chase, get rid of all the clutter, and, lo, tucker, i wouldnt be on with you tonight. I was a young, local radio host in atlanta with very little tv experience. Took a big risk, gave me a shot, here i am, and he believed in me. And he did that for so many
other people. As a set in my statement today, i think he would see things and people that they didnt know existed in themselves and i can tell you, for my own personal experience, that was the case. I never thought i could do this. One other thing that he dated, tucker, which i think is pretty amazing, i was so bad. All you need to do is google hannitys first show. It is humiliating. You want to bring me Down To Earth and need a i cringe when i see it. He stuck with me. He changed my life so much for the better and so many others. Tucker he did that with people. He did stick with them. What did he tell you when he first hired you . I couldnt remember one thing. Thats a great question. I remember one meeting, he warned everyone, they will probably have technical collectors, somethings going to happen. But just a call. I remember he told everybody, smile, have a good time, it doesnt have to be perfect on day one. This is long ball. We want to change the media
landscape in the country. He emphasized fair and balanced. He wanted both sides. Then, he pointed to me and alan and said, except for you to, you can do whatever the hell you guys want. Tucker and you did [laughs] he just let us do our thing. One other great thing, we always work on a ratings pressure world, he never once called me and said, great ratings. He never once called me and said, what is wrong with your ratings, either. He knew there was an ebb and flow to the new cycle, ups and downs. That has kept me very centered. Basically, you build it and you are calm, every night you do a great show. That is why people are watching it. Every night, you do a great show, you work hard for your audience, you are in their viewership every night. Tucker that is really wise. He saw the big picture. He was a tough guy, too. Not easily pushed around. Listen, i am a better fighter today because i learned from hi him. When i first started, maybe i
remember there would be certain people who were working at the fox news channel, they get their first negative article, i. E. Seiko google my name, it will come of hannity is evil, hannity is satan. And then when you read it, you will feel so much better. So many people have done that and follow that advice. It used to bother me come i cant even remember when. I dont care, tucker. I dont care what people tweet, right, say. And i enjoy the competitive back in the forth in life. Tucker for our viewers were wondering if you are being sincere, i work with you, and i can say he is not joking. [laughs] when i am tweeting come of my twitter wars am smiling. Everyone thinks, twitter fight, and i am like, lets get in there. I believe in fighting for what we believe in. Now, we have to fight as irredeemable deplorables. That is a fight that i will engage in until my last breath because they are trying to undermine that election. Tucker sean hannity, ladies and gentlemen. I dont ever want to be in the enemys own. Tucker [laughs] you never will be. Well be right back. Go ahead, spoil yourself. The es and es hybrid. Experience amazing. That was my movantik moment.

Tucker weve heard a lot about roger ailes on this channel today, he was a huge figure here into american life. If you like to hear more, i recommend looking up the remarkable attributes weve heard from brit hume and shepard smith. He captured so precisely, a lot of us got emotional watching them. I would add only one thing to what they said, he always rooted for the underdog. Its not common in our business with the success is the god most people worship. While others kissed up and kicked down, roger ailes always did the opposite. He was kinder to the Cleaning Crew than he was two president ial candidates, i saw that. He picked fights with someone his own size, if not bigger and he was always fearless. Half my friends here washed out of somewhere else. Roger Saw Something in them, took pity, and hire them. I know because it happened to me
