Obscure the larger truth. If the ideological gulf between the president and steve bannon is small. This is not a fight over ideas, its a fight over who deserves credit for an election win. Talk about missing the point. If the legacy of 2016 is not a single person, any person, its a set of ideas, the ones that reflect the hopes and their needs and the fears and the aspirations of a badly mistreated american middleclas middleclass. Those voters came to the polls because they wanted real borders, higher wages, they were dispirited by the opioid epidemic, why wouldnt they be. They were sick of being lectured by Political Class of washington that despises them and holds them in contempt. They were the other country, but they had come to recognize that it is hard to make the rest of the world better and very easy to make it worse. Above all, they voted for leadership that promised to put Americans First above any foreign nation or domestic interest group. That is the real legacy of 2016. At that agenda. Getting it done as the central
duty of this administration. Regardless of who staffs it. Match lap is the chairman of the American Conservative Union and he joins us tonight, good to se. Good to see you. We had a lot of different lead segments in mind because theres a lot going on. This statement sort of overtook the entire new cycle here in washington and im still trying all these hours later to figure out exactly what this is all about. Whos served by this argument and what does it represent. I think the only people that were happy today with the people on other cable news shows that are prosecuting the case against who was a legitimately elected president. Resistance and all the forces that feel a little wind in their sails because of this statement from steve bannon, which is over the line, inappropriate and he really should take it back because i know that he doesnt believe what he said. Tucker which statement are you referring to . The idea that Jared Kushner or don jr. Are traitors or acted in a treasonous way. Tucker there unpatriotic. Are treasonous, way Beyond The Pale and he ought to take it back. Thats really not what this is about, because what he said earlier is that this investigation was a canard, that there was no rush or collusion, that he saw nothing inappropriate. And i think thats where the american people, who are goodnatured and fair, are going to come down on this whole set of questions and this will be a drama that we will have to deal with over the next couple days. But i think its a very unfortunate thing. Tucker so if you get for the bottom of the president s statement im a very colorful statement, he says this. Steve doesnt represent my base, hes only in it for himself. That seems like the nub of it here, the debate over who represents trumps voters. Is that the president or is it his Chief Strategist steve bannon . With the answer . The Conservative Movement is not aligned to any one person, but they are Head Over Heels overjoyed with the first year of the Trump Presidency and the trump agenda. They know that we could be looking at one or two Additional Supreme Court openings
i dont think its smart. Tucker im not saying that, im just saying i have confidence that that journalist, michael wolf was actually representing the clip he heard because i think is an honest journalist. I dont think he has an ideological agenda here. What im struck by is the fact that it was set in the first place by steve bannon. Exactly tucker thats the question, why . Whats the point of this . I think the point of this is when you are a staffer at the white house, you are a staffer. By the way, he did this as a staffer. If you serve a president , i served a president , right, and you dont talk to journalist with her on the record or off the record in any way to try to harm the agenda. If youre trying to harm the agenda, who was disloyal . Tucker this is not the first time. It doesnt matter. Tucker im just saying. In five different interviews in the past couple of months you have seen direct attacks on trump by bannon or attacks that clearly came from bannon and im just wondering is there a point, where is this going . You are one of the leaders of the institutional conservative
movement in washington. Do you see steve bannon leaving part of it five years from now . I think steve bannon is an important voice but i think is greatly marginalized his voice because this looks personal, this looks petty. Its about who did the most to help donald trump win. Its about revision and it helps the left. I think activists around this country, conservative activists see this for what it is. Its a distraction on President Trump and conservative republicans pushing this great agenda. Anything that gets in the way of that agenda, certainly when its about ego claiming credit as a destroyers distraction. I think he hurts himself unless he comes out and says look i might have disagreements with Jared Kushner or donald trump jr. , but i dont think theres anything to this investigation, because thats what all his other tucker very quickly, there have been reports that he is considering running for president in 2020, is that true, does he have a shot do you thin think . He does not have a shot, period, and he certainly doesnt have a shot of the republican
primary. No one will run to the right of donald trump. He has captured that by making his commitment to conservatives with his agenda and delivering on the agenda. Its ironclad. Tucker thank you. Kate koestler has spent a lot of time thinking about steve bannon. Hes the author of the book bannon, always the rebel. Some would say the definitive biography. Great to see you. I would say that too. Tucker you know bannon well, you wrote a book about him. Whats the point of this to mike he doesnt do things presumably for no reason. I think that he was angry. I think that at the time he said that it could have been either july or right after because they said it was soon after our july story in the New York Times. It didnt have to be while he was still a staffer. It mightve come in august right after he left the white house. Im not sure. Either way, he was involved in these vicious struggles within the white house. I dont think theres necessarily a point to this. I think you might roll it back if he could at this point. I doubt he will. I differ a little bit on the results of this, because i think that what happened here is that the president issued a statement condemning an individual. Ive covered the white house for 20 years. Ive never seen that. Maybe osama bin laden. Other than that, ive never seen an official president ial statement condemning an individual. Bannon does is not going to ret well to this. He probably artie has had some trouble with trumps flirtation with daca deal, maybe even a little bit with a tax cut. The problem for trump as this, he has basically declared war on Steve Bannon Steve bannon. Steve bannon likes wars and i think is going to go for it. He may not come out in, you know, immediately against trump, but little by little he may end up picking apart trump. And the problem for trump is that bannon aces conduit to the base, his best conduit to the base. If he loses bannon he cannot afford to lose a lot of the
base. He may think he won the popular vote, but he didnt. The base is what elected him and he needs manager support him. Tucker you think that trump voters trust steve bannon more than they trust donald trump . Im not saying that although bannon is a rock star among the voters that elected trump. What im saying is that if bannon does even a little damage to trump, which he could do. Lets say trump wins the war, if there is a war, against a bannon. If Bannon Damages and even a little bit, trump cannot afford that. Breitbart news and bannon himself is the most important conduit to the base that trump has, other than from his self. Lets be clear, trump is the best person for that. He won by 60,000 boats turned in the election, he loses it. If its another type of election like that and hes got one of his premier spokesman shes also been a spokesman for bannon for many months against him, then trump can have a problem. Tucker since you know his mind, let me ask you the question i asked matt, which is clearly this is not an isolated
occurrence of him attacking from. Hes been doing this through in effect cut outs. Hes been doing this for months. Whats the point . Whats he trying to get out of that . Mostly hes been supportive of trump. The people that he is angry with other people around trump. Ivanka trump, Jared Kushner, who he calls jivanka. Hes been doing that without penalty for a while now. You can understand that hes upset that his son is being called treasonous. What hes trying to do is marginalize people within the white house who have a more establishment republican agenda and keep trumps ear and keep trump focused on the things that he was elected on, not trumps family over everything. He loves his family. In terms of his personality and actually help political beliefs hes actually a lot closer to steve bannon that he is to ivanka trump. Tucker it seems that way. Keith, thank you. On the left, it suddenly has become acceptable to attack people on the basis of their skin color. How did that happen and what is it doing to our country .

their race is wrong. That was the standard and for a long time almost everybody in america believe it, or claimed to believe it. Not anymore. Now in the left its acceptable, even encouraged, to attack people based solely on their skin color. You are not supposed to say the thing about it but suddenly its everywhere. Online magazine owned by the Media Company univision. Its not some obscure hate site looking on the dark corners of the internet. Its considered a mainstream destination. Its got 8 million visitors a month supported by huge advertisers like toyota. Here are some recent stories that were just published. White people need to be better people. Five life x who want to make white people uncomfortable at work. We need a reset button for something for white people. If there are plenty more just like that, you can google it if you want. At the a pretty clear intent to attack and ridicule an entire race for the crime of being born with certain genes. Imagine a news website that tried to rank the most useless types of fill in the blank people. Would you be embarrassed to read Something Like that . Would toyota advertise on a site that ran a piece like that . Of course not. But it advertises on the root, not even close to alone. Take a look at busby, one of the most popular websites in america. In 2016 that company is valued at 1. 5 billion. Six times what jeff bezos pay for the Washington Post a couple of years ago. Just last week, just last week was feed published a piece entitled 37 things white people need to stop ruining in 2018. One of the items on the list, america. It is not just wrong, its nuts. Its actually suicidal. As they are always correctly reminding us, america is a multiracial society, which is great. Multiracial societies are great. But they are fragile, always. The only survive when people of different races decide to treat each other as human beings with equal dignity. When they square off into
warring tribes its over. Liberals say they are poor White Nationalism and they should, but at the same time they are promoting it like this. When liberals pull up the speed for the latest list of why white people are wrecking america, they are happy to last long because they are saved safe in the knowledge that it doesnt affect them. The joke looks a lot different when you were not reached. Youve lost Family Friends to heroin, you havent painted your house in 20 years. Everybody you know is being crushed by the rising cost of education and health care. Youre fairly certain your kids are going to make even less than you do, assuming jobs will even exist when the robots get here. You are worried, and you should be. And now some smug Private School kid from brooklyn is lecturing you about how you are the problem because the color of your skin and the privilege it conveys. How much of that are you going to take before you explode at the unfairness of it all . At that point, why wouldnt you embrace a racial identity . Everybody else seems to be doing it. Thats a disaster, and its not
theoretical, by the way. Thats whats going to happen in this country unless people start deciding theyre going to treat one another as individuals rather than as members of group groups. Jason nichols is a professor of africanamerican studies at the University Of Maryland and he joins us now. Thanks for coming on. Thank you. Tucker my concern here is that visas like this, attitudes like this, which are ubiquitous on the affluent left, the privileged left are driving the country apart along racial lines to an even greater extent that than we are already divided by racial lines and you will wind up with a totally vulcanized society. I dont know why people do this and i dont know when it became okay to do this. So when we talk about what drives us apart as a society, lets talk about the fact that black people are three times more likely to be denied for a home loan. At that you have a better chance of getting employment with a High School Diploma than i do with a college degree. Lets talk about many other
structural issues that we have. Tucker happy to, but you are not answering the question, which is why does this help . With always been divided along racial lines, its a tragedy. One of the worst things its the worst thing about america. And you dont want to get worse, which is why you dont attack people on the basis of their race in public. And now all of a sudden the left has decided thats okay. Its crazy to me. Again, you have to enter in nuance and context here. I think that many of these articles that you brought up are actually lampooning the ridiculousness and absurdity of racism itself. They are trying to turn racism on its head and say look, white people do these things, this is absurd. And again, in a society where white people tucker so its a joke . Its a satire. Tucker but you know that nobody if you were at buzzfeed. I have idea for a piece, 30,000
reasons that mexicans are wrecking america. You would be canned. Why is it okay to say that about another race . If we really believe its wrong to attack people on the basis of race, why isnt it wrong to attack people on the basis of race . If you put out this article are one of those articles and black people or mexican people or whomever said that about white people. Lets say 80 of the black outlets and latino outlets said these things about white people. It would not affect white people in terms of their socioeconomic status, their health outcomes, their housing, their education, or incarceration. None of that would be affected. Thats the big difference. There are bigger consequences. Tucker you are living in a world that doesnt exist anymore. Youre living in a world where all the which people are white and all the poor people are nonwhite. In modern america, the one group of americans whose Life Expectancy is declining as workingclass white people. Im not whining about racial im just saying if you are one of those people were saying why are you attacking me . I dont have any privilege, why
are you doing this to me . And you are pushing stuff like this pushes people to be more racially conscious, which is bad, in my opinion, if you see what im saying. Again, i think if we want to talk about the way people experience poverty, i think first of all, its been proven that a black person who makes 100,000 is actually owing to live in a poor neighborhood with fewer resources than a white person that makes less than 25,000. Because White Property and black property are not equivalent. Tucker undressing the Life Expectancy of workingclass white people is in decline. If thats true for no other group. Im not saying that the toughest road, im just saying its bad. Why are rich Private School hipsters from brooklyn attacking them like they are all weaving at palm beach . Why wouldnt that stir resentment . I looked at some of those buzzfeed articles and have looked at the root articles. For the most part they are attacking the wealthy people that move people out of
brooklyn, not the workingclass person in alabama. Tucker you can see where this would lead to resentment. We dont need any more resentment in america from anybody i would think. Absolutely not. Tucker lets just make it super simple and say probably about a idea to make generalizations about people based on their skin color, because its not the most important thing about people, actually. Again, i think you need to look at these articles where in many cases its not just about race. Class is in there as well and again, if youre looking at it intelligently and with nuance, you will see that they are actually lampooning racism. Theyre trying to see dominic say how ridiculous racism is. Tucker of course they are. You cant see about any other group. Theres only one group you can attack. I hate even to say this out loud because it sounds like whining, and i hate whining. I just honestly think you are pushing a whole group of people to become way more racially conscious, and i dont want to live in a country where everyone primarily identifies by race, do you . You dont. First of all, we live in a
country where race and race consciousness is forced upon all of us. Tucker but you want more of it to you . I dont think his articles are doing that. I think they are trying to show how absurd racism is. Thats the whole point. Tucker the only white racism, as if thats the only kind. Thats the only kind that has systemic consequences on people. Tucker fat im telling you, its just not fair to say to someone who lives in the middle of the country whose economic prospects have been devastated who really doesnt have much of a future, youll dont make it your part of the problem. It really . And what part of the world is that Person Oppressing anybody . And i honestly dont think that most of those articles are saying that about that person whos in the middle of the country who is suffering economically during tucker it just seems like another example of the powerful marking the week in order to feel virtuous. And i hate that. First of all, i would disagree that some writer or staff writer or contract writer
for buzzfeed represents the powerful. That guy is making 40,000 a year. Tucker name one who went to Public School in the midwest . I bet you cant. We are out of time. Congressman, thank you. Congressman. I hope you will announce in the future. Journalist in new york city, home of brooklyn and people who write buzzfeed, and he joins us tonight. Chadwick, i know im painting with a broad brush, but i can kind of picture the staffer in Question Sneering at the middle of the country and blinding an entire group based on their skin color, which i thought was not allowed. Right. I dont believe your guest for one second when he thinks a former guest when he thinks these articles are meant to be satire. To make fun of racism. Its exactly i think how you painted it. The sort of Liberal Oberlin Kids who graduated to live in brooklyn and for some reason want to believe in the sort of dismantle the wealth narrative. I think the way to do that is to
attack white people. Marxism, its socialism. It has the mainstream medias ear, mainstream societys ear. When you see these people who obsess over victimhood so much, its so fascinating because if you want to see racism everywhere, if your brain wants to see racism everywhere, or homophobia everywhere, then you will. Thats the world you will live in. I was having a conversation with a woman not too long ago about this, a young upper middleclass black woman and she was talking about how badly she gets treated on the street here in new york and i said to her, what if you live for one day as a white woman and you were treated the exact same way . People were just as rude to you, what then . Tucker it doesnt make anybody happier to see everything through that lens. Let me ask you about something that happened yesterday. I personally missed it but its in the tape, maybe you saw it, cohost joy behar reacted to the ongoing protest weve been seeing in iran by saying the u. S. Is on the very brink of executing gay people in the
street. Its not apples and apples, its not equal, but we are on a very Slippery Slope in this country towards throwing democracy out the window. We have to defend the present civil rights. We do, but not being stoned in the streets for being gay. Tucker how close do you think we are to a country where people are stoned in the streets were being gay as joy behar suggests . I have to tell people this all the time, we cant even get funding for the wall, so the gay death camps are definitely not have until the second term. She is completely ridiculous. This narrative that they want to push is so absurd. Theres no proof to it. Its such a load of bull. In that same discussion she was sort of ironically saying that the protesters in iran and the socalled womens mergers here, the resist protesters, she called them protesters, are basically fighting for the same thing. She said the details are
different about what they are fighting against, but the general thing, they want democracy and freedom and ours is deeply under attack in this country. Firstly, lets talk about that. In iran young women tearing off their headscarves in there for jobs and here in new york and washington you women and men putting them on as a symbol of liberation. And when she says its so funny to see her saying our democracy is under attack. Tucker it such grotesque overstatement. I know what its like to get him out on television, but part of your brain says pull back a little bit, dont say more than you mean, dont overstate things grotesquely, because if you do you will be called on it. You shouldnt say things that arent true. No one ever calls anybody on the left when they say ludicrous things like gays are about to be stoned in the streets. What . Exactly. Its just this hysteria and they have no evidence for it. They have absolutely no evidence for it and its exactly they are just showing what they are, they have no arguments. Tucker childish. Chadwick moore, great to see you. Thank you. Tucker thanks. Congressional investigators say they found evidence the fbi rigged its investigation of Hillary Clinton. If you dont want to believe that. A former fbi official joins us next. He has an informed view of that, stay tuned. Patrick woke up with a sore back. Dont stop it now, dont stop it no. Dont stop it now, dont stop it. Keep it comin love. Keep it comin love. Dont stop it now, if you keep on eating, well keep it comin. All you can eat riblets and tenders at applebees. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. And her email server. According to a report in the hill, Fbi Agents Heather Investigation Micromanaged by higher level officials in contrast to ordinary practice. You know what that means. The investigators also told the hill they found evidence the fbi began drafting and exoneration of Hillary Clinton before it had even gathered all the relevant evidence were interviewed more than a dozen key witnesses. Chris is a former Assistant Director of the fbi and he joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. Good evening, tucker. Tucker youve seen this report. I dont think any american wants to believe the fbi is on the level and subject to political manipulation, but thats the conclusion im reluctantly reaching. Whats your conclusion . As an experienced investigator, it doesnt take a congressional investigation to tell me that nothing about that investigation was right. Those of us that have conducted federal criminal investigations no that you use the grand jury, you use Search Warrants, you dont hand out immunities like candy. Everything investigation runs contrary to the way a real credible, thorough fbi investigation is conducted. Tucker given as you are watching this, give us the specific examples that this tipped you off that this was not unfolding as it ought to have been. First and foremost, in any complicated federal investigation, the basic tool of the trade is a grand jury. Use of the grand jury to obtain records. You dont go to witnesses and say mother, may i have that computer hard drive . May i have those emails . Uu subpoenas and process and grand jury and Search Warrants and that sort of process. That was the tip off from the beginning. So many deals were made with people not knowing what kind of information they had in the deals being made simply because they lawyered up and didnt want to talk to fbi agents. Thats when you throw them in front of a grand jury. Tucker a lot of subjects, most subjects i would think lawyer up and nobody wants to talk to the fbi, of course. But the fbi Doesnt Normally Cave to that, does it . No. When jim comey was the Deputy Attorney general running the corporate Thought Tax Force and i was running the criminal division, we play hardball in those investigations. You use grand jury process. You didnt just ask for records and you didnt give them an opportunity to hand over what they wanted to hand over. And if they did lawyer up you went to the trouble of throwing them in front of the grand jury to put their statement on the record, or they can take the fifth and then you can make a decision as to whether to grant them immunity at that time. But none of that was done in this case. Tucker why . This was like driving a car with the brakes on. Tucker why wasnt it done do you think . Thats what puzzles myself and all of my former colleagues, people who have retired from the fbi from Executive Level positions on down to the street level. The only thing i can come up with is that director comey placed the investigation in the hands of his inner circle and
they had their own agenda, obviously. Weve seen that from some of the information that has since come out, the text, et cetera. Tucker so you think it was political . I think that there were people inside that inner circle in the Comey Inner Circle that had their own predetermined opinions about trump excuse me, about Hillary Clinton and the president , what then was a President Elect or someone running for president. Tucker let me ask you about something that i found really striking, tell me if you had the same reaction. We now have documents that came out in a lawsuit that show, internal documents from the fbi that when the then attorney general Loretta Lynch had the famous meeting on the tarmac with bill clinton, whose wife was being investigated at the time, the fbis first reaction was not to figure out how did that happen, the first reaction was to find out how the news it leaked. Does that seemed like a very wed reaction to me. Thats not the fbi that i
know and as ive said, my former colleagues that i compared notes with all the time, former director comeys rationale, shall we say for making this prosecutor decision that the fbi director has no business making, that she was not to be prosecuted. That was based on that tarmac meeting. If that were the case, all he had to do is hang the investigation to the attorney generals office, let her recuse herself from making that decision, knock it down to her number two level person and then if that didnt happen, then maybe raise the issue publicly. Tucker it really distressing to watch this. Thank you for your perspective on that, i appreciate it. My pleasure. Tucker in order to get the federal government funded, democrats are demanding that Daca Recipients be given amnesty. They may try to shut down the government if they dont get it. That story next. My friends and family never thought id be the one to quit smoking, i was such a heavy smoker. But i was able to do it with chantix. I did not know that chantix would reduce my urges so significantly. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke. When you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. Serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening. Stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. Tell your Healthcare Provider if youve had depression or other Mental Health problems. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. The most common side effect is nausea. Everybody had doubts, including me, but i did it. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Nice man cave nacho . [ Train Whistle Blows ] what . stop it mmhmm. Weve been saving a lot of money ever since we switched to progressive. This bar is legit. And now we get an even bigger discount from bundling home and auto. I can get used to this. It might take a minute. Swing and a miss slam dunk touchdown together sports
tucker with each passing day the possibility grows that daca will force a shutdown of the federal government because, of course, legalizing people who are here illegally is the single most important thing our government could do. If President Trump says amnesty for daca beneficiaries as a possibility but should be tied o longterm immigration. Democrats argue there should be no concessions in return for amnesty. Some are willing to shutdown the government during Budget Negotiations to get their way. One was willing to compromise, still a democrat though, congressman, thanks for coming on. Good evening, tucker. Happy new year to you. And all the rest of the world. Tucker happy new year this is one of those where negotiations were one side has already set im willing to
compromise. At the president has said look im willing to support Legalization Amnesty for these people for these people here illegally. They have to assure us they will not bring all of their relatives with them and being able to prevent people in the future for coming with them like Border Security like a wall. Why would democrats be against that . Certainly the democrats do not want the government to shut down, period. Thats our position, frankly we were not responsible for the shutdowns of the past. However, going forward, what are we to do . We did we did, or the did put a 150 some alien dollar hole in the money that we need to fund all Government Programs for the next year. If that was the tax cut that we just passed last december. So we start off with a very, very difficult financial situation in which 150 billion
that we were counting on to solve some of the financial issues, some of the Funding Problems disappeared and that tax cut. Tucker actually would agree with you on that. Thats a kind of legitimate argument to have. Do we have enough money or we get the money, but why are we having an argument about people who arent even citizens . I feel sorry for them, but thats like number 111 on the list of priorities for most americans, why is it number one for democrats . Unless you happen to be one of the 800, or 800,000 that are daca of which 160,000 have actually graduated from one or another of our universities. Tucker they are great, but there are also 325 million actual americans here and their concerns are going down the list so the concerns of illegal aliens and take the top spot, why . Theres also a host of other problems that are in that Funding Question and keeping the government open. The military wants more money
and frankly needs more money. We also need to provide money for the Childrens HealthInsurance Programs and on and on. If infrastructure, anybody mentioned the trillion Dollar Infrastructure and wheres the money for that . It mostly disappeared in the tax cut. Tucker im not disagreeing with you. Can we just get past the daca thing. If we are spending an awful lot of time on other countrys citizens when our citizens are waiting for congress to do something so why not just say, look, thats fine. We will build a wall, not why not build a wall . Why not sneak in a bring your relatives. What . You sneak in and then your relatives get to come, why is that fair . I think that there is a reasonable solution to all of this. The dream act, which has been around five years now, it deals with most of that issue. The Chain Migration Issue that you talked about, chain immigration issue. That needs to be addressed. It can be a serious problem. Certainly these daca students, or daca individuals are more interested in their own circumstances, the issue of their parents and relatives, yes, that should be dealt with. Going beyond that, a wall. Its been pretty well determined that there are far better ways to spend tens of billions of dollars than to build a wall. Certainly we could use new technology. The coast guard, for example, needs money to patrol the oceans, which happened to be the major way in which drugs enter the nation. Tucker under our Current System we give out, in effect, green cards, which become citizenship on the basis of a lottery, the diversity lottery. Why in the world, if citizenship mattered, if we cared about our country, if we just randomly give green cards to people on the basis of chance, a bingo . Why do we have that program . Why cant we get rid of it . Well, there certainly needs to be comprehensive immigration
reform. And that needs to be one of the pieces of that. Border security absolutely essential. How do you spend the money for Border Security . A wall, is that the best way . Many of us think that is not the best way. We also need to deal with the agricultural guest worker program, which is a major problem here in california. Tucker i know your growers want cheap labor as they can get. I would like cheap labor at my house too, but can we just agree that we should stop letting people in randomly under the diversity lottery, and its not fair to let illegal aliens bring all the relatives . And we agree on those two things . I think we can. Lets write a lot. Tucker thing you should have no problem getting the government funded good luck, thank you, congressman. I appreciate it. You got it, thank you. Tucker iran has been wracked by antigovernment protests. The American Media seem weirdly unenthusiastic of them. It is that our imagination or are they trying to hide something . What is it . Very confusing. Mollie hemingway will sort it out next. And we covered it, july first, twentyfifteen. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum whentrust the Brand Doctors trust for themselves.

If the past couple of days the impulse of the press has seemed to be to downplay or even criticized those protests. Nbc, cbs, cnn all criticized, made in response to it rare antigovernment protest. The New York Times tweeted that the protesters Ignored Calls For Com from irans president. Are we imagining it or is there something we are going on here . Mollie hemingway is the Senior Editor of the federalist, she joins us tonight. What is this about . I think there are good reasons why youre not seeing a lot of coverage and a lot of bad reasons. The good reasons is that iran is a very impressive regime, they kidnap foreign tourists. We dont have good lines of communication and its very difficult to cover whats happening there. If there are a lot of bad reasons why you are seeing a lot of coverage, and that could be everything from how these waves
of protests completely undercut the narrative that we heard throughout the obama administration. And i think that our media tend to want to protect and defend president obama. Tucker how do these protests undercut that story line . President president obama ae iran nuclear deal. They placed these bets with this person who they pitched is very moderate. They used people in the media to help sell this deal. When we see these protests, very different from what we were told. We were just told by the New York Times very recently that iran was a very unified country. They were unified behind their regime. They were united in their opposition to donald trump. Obviously thats not true when you look at these protests, however big they are, that there is at least some coalition of people who are extremely upset with their regime and the corruption of the regime and the economic consequences of that. Some of the signs talk about how that they dont like that they are involved in all these foreign conflicts and how they are supporting terror in the region. Thats completely different than what weve been told and i dont think journalists like to come
clean when they are shown not to be telling the truth. Tucker could also be that its far away uncomplicated and that is much easier to write about some stupid lunch carter page whatever, or some 26yearold fake Foreign Policy advisor had during the campaign. At the russian nonsense maybe is closer to the heart of most journalists . Thats why its actually so frustrating to read the New York Times coverage because so many people have just dropped foreign bureaus. If they dont have good resources in these regions. It is very difficult to cover when you dont have people on the ground, but the New York Times does. A lot of what theyve been publishing has been sort of very friendly to the regime and parroting the regimes lines. Part of it might be that they are afraid that they are reporting resources there or vulnerable, but you shouldnt subvert journalism. Tucker proamerican are potentially proamerican and kind of reasonable. Not really represented by its regime at all. That sort of weird that american
journalists wouldnt be more sympathetic to the population of the Country Yearning for a new government. Particularly a few years ago, many people in our media were so excited by arab spring, revolutions that they saw were even in some of those cases you are getting rid of bad leaders and replacing with even worse leaders. In this case theres no question that iran is completely oppressive country. Doing a lot of bad in the region. There are people there who are very frustrated and should be at least you should see some sort of Vocal Support or coverage of what they are trying to accomplish. These are very brief people and their chances are not very good of actually achieving revolution. Not just because of the military there, but the secret police and all these other resources that the regime there has. They are pretty impressive work. Tucker it does seem like a lot of the countries we saw sort of become democratic for about 20 minutes were not ready for some government. Iran seems a lot closer to being ready. He seems to have a much more impressive population, if i can be blunt than some of those other countries. What a shame that we are not
helping more. Has more of a history and it has been a great empire. Tucker only for 3,000 years, not a big deal. Mollie hemingway, thank you. Californians cant ban guns, the government camps, so they are doing the next best thing. They are basically taking away ammunition to disarm the population. That grim story next. Mom, i have to tell you something. Dad, one second i was driving and then the next. They just didnt stop and then. Im really sorry. I wrecked the subaru. I wrecked it. Youre ok. Thats all that matters. vo a lifetime commitment to getting them home safely. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. Ammo as well as relatively harmless stuff like 20 gauge birdshot or 22 long rifle. All of it youve got a permit and a Background Check to buy it. He also cant privately bring ammunition into the state anymore either. That is now a crime. For a day, dozens of stores were outright banned from selling any ammunition at all because californias government was behind on granting permits, surprise surprise. While this may california safer . Of course not. Criminals ignore the law, they always do. The real and the only, indeed, intended fact will be to disarm the lawabiding population. Keep in mind, that same state has declared itself a legal sanction area for foreigners were breaking our most basic laws. So the nonthreatening activity of american citizens is criminalized and lawbreaking of foreigners is protected. The message . Normal people are no longer welcome in the state of california. Shouldnt surprise anybody that they are fleeing
